Yeah, there will be a beach episode down the road.

Spoiler for beach episode:

but majority of the arc is about investigation of deity in another district. Bad thing is that Zange in that arc is the most stupid Zange I have ever seen (perhaps the cost of having more screentime than Nagi is becoming stupid); good thing is we will see real Hakua for the first time.

Spoiler:

I am not fully convinced that Hakua loves Jin.

For Hakua, Jin is 1) the first person who shows understanding of her problem, and 2) and who may be with the ability to help her out. These grant that Jin is a special person to Zange but not necessarily mean love. It's possible that Zange just wants to know him, and be friend of him (just like she want to befriend Anna). Considering how shy Hakua is, it's entirely possible for Hakua behaving like what we have seen but not loves Jin.

Frankly speaking, Hakua's feelings to Jin are purely speculations right now. Even though generally she is assumed to be in love of Jin but it's mainly because of the tranditional formul of harem shows. With the recent development of Nagi, Kannagi shows the potential that it can be otherwise. Most importantly, Zange is the one in control most of the time while Hakua has very little interaction with Jin in present time, only an exchange of a few words (in very retarded way) that made Jin totally confused. This is simply not a way that harem can be made.
