Poseidon in Arknights

During the two months of the New Year, she accompanied them to watch movies. After that, in recent months, those guys' advances towards her have become more and more obvious. In fact, Yu Yue has to lock the door at night to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

That's why Xiyue made an excuse to run away, to give herself some peace and quiet and to let them calm down.

"Really? Boss?" Exusiai looked at the Emperor with shining eyes. "Are you taking us to Siesta this time?"

"Otherwise, when have I ever lied?" The Emperor said, puffing on a cigar. "Considering your recent good behavior, I'll just take you out for some fun at the Siesta Obsidian Music Festival this time."

"Oh, great! Long live the boss!" Exusiai and Croissant immediately raised their hands and cheered after hearing the Emperor's words.

They had heard of Siesta long ago; it was an absolute tourist hotspot.

I've heard that the obsidian produced in the crater there has the effect of preventing orthokeratology, but of course this is just a marketing ploy. Croissant has a rather profound understanding of this.

After all, if a small stone could prevent orthopedic disease, then orthopedic disease would not be so terrible. However, Siesta has indeed never encountered any natural disaster since its construction.

It can be said to be a rare pure land on this land. I heard that it is the same in Shelag, but that place is too cold, and it is not suitable to go there even in summer.

Moreover, it seems that they have no intention of developing tourism there.

In comparison, isn't Siesta, where the Obsidian Music Festival is about to start, more fun?

The more crucial point is that, as early as half a month ago, Specter and Skadi were called back by Rhodes Island, which said that Rhodes Island was preparing to leave Lungmen and go elsewhere.

It's a bit strange that, although Skadi really refused to leave, Specter actually tried to persuade Skadi to go ahead.

Regardless of why this happened or whether there was some other conspiracy, the problem is that the interference has disappeared, and now it will be Penguin Logistics' turn to shine.

"Hehe, need me to provide you with some cool swimsuits~" Croissant grinned mischievously at the other three. "Buy one get one free, full refund if they don't fit~"

"Croissant, you shouldn't be trying to sell it at a time like this." Sora looked at Croissant with a smile. Ever since she went to the movies with Yuzuki last time, she couldn't hide it anymore.

Fortunately, Exusiai and Texas only mentioned her a couple of times and then ignored her. Anyway, Penguin Logistics already had one more person, so it didn't matter if she was there or not.

Anyway, we're all just old colleagues in the workplace, and rivals in love. We should help each other when needed and lend a hand when necessary. Whether we help a colleague or a rival depends entirely on our mood.

They managed to pull out four or five lines, but they all broke down within a day or two. That's why Yuuki went to Chernobog to practice medicine for a while.

Only one item from the entire Penguin Logistics chain, Croissant, remains, having not yet entered the race.

"Of course we need to promote our products now!" Croissant said with a mischievous grin. "You don't expect Yuuki to have her own swimsuit, do you?"

"When we went to the hot spring resort last time, didn't Yuuki always borrow the resort's swimsuits?"

"You wouldn't want Yuuki to wear that ugly swimsuit you just bought again, would you?"

"You always have this Eastern accent when you talk?" Exusiai rolled her eyes at Croissant. This guy was definitely trying to make some money off his colleagues!

“We’ll handle this ourselves.” Texas said, munching on her Pocky. “Let’s go to Chernobog first and bring Yuuki back. Then we can discuss who should take Yuuki to buy a swimsuit, or whether Yuuki should go buy it herself.”

"Let's go, let's go." Exusiai quickly got up and walked towards the door upon hearing this. "By the way, does Sora want to come along?"

After thinking for a moment, Kong shook his head: "I'll have to talk to my manager later. Hopefully, the company doesn't have any large concerts coming up anytime soon."

"It's a small matter." The Emperor took off his nearly finished cigar and exhaled a thick puff of smoke. "I'll have Is talk to your company about it later. I guarantee it won't affect anything."

"Have fun while you can, this is a rare opportunity."

—————Chernberg—————

"I see." Talulah nodded. Although she wasn't quite sure why Yuuki had come looking for some peace and quiet, it was good that Miss Yuuki had come.

This also solved another major medical problem for them. Although they didn't have a specific source of medicine, perhaps they could talk to Rhodes Island and offer to provide fish as food in exchange for some drug allowance. That shouldn't be a problem, right?

It's not that Talulah can't think of other companies, but to put it bluntly, they still can't get rid of the label of terrorist organization on the Reunion Movement. Which company would be willing to do business with them?

Even if they remove this label, their status as infected individuals will only allow pharmaceutical companies to demand exorbitant prices.

It's okay if you don't buy. There are plenty of organizations that want to buy. If you don't buy, you can just put up with it. Anyway, when your Oripathy strikes, it won't hurt us.

Therefore, it's better to choose Rhodes Island from the beginning. Although we fought with them, at least Rhodes Island is one of the few companies on this land that is willing to make efforts for the infected and has great goodwill.

Of course, this was done on Patriot's advice. After thinking it over, Talulah sent Misha and her brother, Bonecrusher, to Rhodes Island to seek cooperation.

I don't know if things are going smoothly over there.

"Um, wait a minute, someone's calling me." Yuuki suddenly took her phone out of her pocket, stood up, and walked to the window. "Hello, what's wrong, Texas?"

"travel?"

"Is the Emperor treating us to a meal at Siesta? When are we going? In the next couple of days?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll bring Hong over in a bit. Things are almost done here."

After hanging up the phone, Yuuki looked at Talulah apologetically: "I'm sorry, you just heard that Texas called and said she was going back to go on vacation."

“Hmm, it’s alright.” Talulah shook her head. “Miss Yuzuki has already provided us with a lot of help.”

“Okay.” Xi Yue nodded. “I’ll leave those medicines and equipment here. Remember to make sure those people read some books. They should be able to handle simple bandaging and colds.”

"If Rhodes Island sets up an office here later, you could also see if you can ask them to help you train some people?"

After giving Talulah a few more instructions, Yuuki looked at Red beside her and said, "Let's go, Red, let's go find Texas and the others."

Chapter 137: An Unexpected Yet Reasonable Encounter

—————Longmen·Penguin Logistics Headquarters·Employee Rest Area—————

"Hmm, they're really going at it this way." Xi Yue hugged Hong, looking helplessly at the group in front of her. "Is it really necessary to argue like this over something like this?"

"This is a necessary sacrifice." Exusiai, with a turtle painted on her face, looked at Yuuki with a resolute expression.

Sora, who was holding a large block of ice, and Texas, who had two clips on the back of her hand, nodded.

"I think you could have decided the winner in a more peaceful way," Yuuki said helplessly, glancing at the deck of cards between the three of them.

This is actually the same Truth or Dare game that Exusiai created during her hot spring vacation, except now there's only Dare and no Truth.

Their competition was simply to see who could hold out until they were the last to leave, and who would go with her to buy a swimsuit. As for who came up with the idea, there was no need to even think about it; it was obviously Exusiai who suggested it.

"Alright, alright." Xi Yue stood up and helplessly raised her hand, giving each of them a tap on the head. "I'm giving you one last hour. Find me a peaceful way to do this, or I'll go buy it myself."

"And throw everything away." Yuuki took out a wet wipe from her clothes, pressed it against Exusiai's head, and tried to remove the turtle mark on Exusiai's face.

After wiping for a while, Yuuki's face darkened. Looking at the turtle mark that was still imprinted on Exusiai, she picked up the marker next to her and glanced at it.

"Oh, so you're still using one that can't be washed?"

—————Longmen Taikoo Plaza—————

After a fierce competition and decision-making process lasting about half an hour, the three Texas Exias finally decided to end their game with a game of Ludo.

As for the process, Texas's dice rolls hovered between 6 and 5 throughout, completely overwhelming Sora and Exusiai with a huge advantage.

It was completely unscripted. Exusiai and Sora were naturally dissatisfied with the result, because even if Texas said she didn't cheat, no one would believe her.

Of course, in the end, Yuuki didn't care about them anymore. After all, who knew how long it would go on if they kept causing trouble? She simply grabbed Hong and Texas and walked outside.

"They're always making a ruckus." Yuuki's face showed a slightly speechless expression as she held Hong's hand in one hand and Texas's hand in the other.

"You too, what are you arguing about with Exusiai?" Yuuki looked at Texas beside her. "You know that eight out of ten of the ideas Exusiai comes up with are unreliable."

"Today's idea is even more absurd than the last," Xi Yue grumbled from the side. "Why did you have to come up with something like an indelible marker? I'm even thinking of just rubbing off a layer of her skin."

"He's like a mischievous monkey every day. Last time he had such a big halo, and he just barged into my room."

"..." Texas listened to Yuuki's rambling from the side and smiled slightly. "Alright, that's just Exusiai's personality."

“That’s true.” Yuzuki shook her head helplessly. Exusiai really does have that kind of personality.

“But I think Texas, you should really put on an act next time.” Yuuki raised her hand and patted Texas’s head. “Throughout the 5 and 6, you really didn’t put on an act at all.”

Texas tilted her head slightly to avoid Yuuki's hand: "It's just a little skill and control."

The two chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the mall. It was summer, and the mall was indeed selling summer-related items, especially swimming-related products.

"Let's go with this one." Yuuki glanced around, picked out a shop that looked reasonably priced, and led Texas and Red inside.

"Wow, we actually have this kind of vehicle?" Exusiai looked at the RV in front of her. This was not the one they had driven to the hot springs last time.

The RV in front of us is bigger and sturdier. It not only has a living room with eight beds, but also a small table in the middle. At the same time, it even has a bathroom and a kitchen. The bathroom even has a washing machine. Although the kitchen only has a microwave and an induction cooker, it is still a kitchen.

The six large tires further proved that the other vehicle was an off-road vehicle, more than enough for their needs on their journey to Siesta.

Of course, a larger vehicle body means greater carrying capacity. In addition to the aforementioned living facilities, the rear of the vehicle also has a super large trunk, enough to hold most luggage.

"Speaking of which, isn't Is coming along?" Sora looked at Is, who was standing to the side holding a tablet. "It's such a precious vacation time."

"No, thank you." Is shook his head while holding the tablet. "I'll stay here and watch the house. If the company gets any requests while you're on vacation, I'll have to find a way to outsource them."

"However, boss, if you see anything interesting, please be sure to record it and share it with me later."

"Hey, you just want to see their reactions, right?" The Emperor pushed up his sunglasses, looking like he understood. "Don't worry, if I get the chance, I'll record it for you."

"Thank you very much, boss." Is nodded. Although they couldn't go on vacation together this time, it would be alright if they could see some interesting reactions afterward.

"Who is it? What's with the reaction?" Exusiai, who always loves to join in the fun, overheard Is and the boss's conversation and asked curiously, "You guys aren't trying to ship them, are you?"

"You two as a couple?" The Emperor rolled his eyes at Exusiai. "I think you eat a lot every day, but that's another matter."

"Yes, what is it?"

"No comment." The Emperor lit a cigar and put it in his mouth. "We'll talk about it later."

"Playing mysterious, well, this does make me a little excited." Exusiai shrugged and started carrying her luggage upstairs.

Croissant slammed the trunk door shut, then carried several days' worth of groceries into the kitchen and stuffed them into the cabinet.

"Hey, Exusiai, Sora, are you really not considering buying a set?" Croissant jumped off the car and looked at Exusiai and Sora. "It's a great deal. Right now, it's buy one get one free. Pay for one set and you can buy two sets that will definitely fit you perfectly."

“We have them too,” Exusiai said, looking at Croissant. “You don’t need to worry about that.”

"Alright, alright." Croissant nodded helplessly. It seemed she would have to sell the few sets she brought in today to someone else.

She even specifically bought the kind that accentuates her figure; it seems there's no other way.

"Hmm!" Exusiai took a deep breath and dragged the heavy luggage into the car. "Judging from your expression, you didn't end up with something stuck in your hands, did you?"

"Otherwise what?" Croissant said irritably as she helped Exusiai put her luggage into the car. "It's all because you guys missed the opportunity. I finally managed to buy a swimsuit that shows off my figure."

"What do you mean by 'it was so hard'?" Exusiai rolled her eyes at Croissant, who had just come out. She could buy a swimsuit anywhere this season; she had already said "it was so hard".

"Ahem." Croissant's feigned innocence vanished instantly after Exusiai's words. "Alright, alright, I wonder what kind of swimsuit Texas and Yuuki will end up buying."

"Croissant." Exusiai squinted at Croissant. "Do you have to bring up something you don't want to talk about?"
