Poseidon in Arknights

—————Siesta—————

The professor casually picked up a tourist guide from the roadside and looked at the somewhat crowded people around him: "It's really too lively, a bit too much."

"Waaah~" Amiya squeezed through the crowd with great difficulty. "Yeah, it really lives up to its reputation as a tourist destination, and now that it's the Obsidian Music Festival, the crowds are ridiculously large."

The doctor looked down and flipped through the tourist brochure that had just been sent to him. Even in the brochure, the descriptions and slogans were written in an extremely enthusiastic tone, describing the current situation of the event.

[During the two-week Obsidian Festival, in addition to food and entertainment, there are all kinds of entertainment activities open all day, as well as our grandest citywide music festival!]

We have invited top music artists from all over the world as our special guests to bring you this most exciting music festival!

During the festival, we have prepared various free facilities and activities for everyone to enjoy!

"It's not much different from roadside announcements." The doctor snapped the tourist brochure shut. "But I don't dislike this kind of atmosphere and promotional method."

“Mhm.” Amiya nodded. “It’s a bit of a shame, though, that Dr. Kal’tsit didn’t come out with us.”

"Hehe, when we go back next time, we'll just drag Dr. Kal'tsit out, right?" The Doctor casually stuffed the travel brochure into his chest pocket.

“But Dr. Kal'tsit doesn’t really like coming to places like this.” Amiya shook her head hesitantly. Although she was also looking forward to it, it seemed there was nothing she could do if Dr. Kal'tsit didn’t want to.

"Well~" The Doctor's lips curled into a wicked smile hidden under his hood. Then, the Doctor leaned down and rested his head on Amiya's shoulder, his slightly clear voice carrying a hint of seduction as it reached Amiya's ears.

"Doesn't Amiya want to see Kal'tsit in a swimsuit?"

"Hey, no, no, that's not true." Upon hearing the Doctor's words, Amiya immediately started imagining things, and finally her face turned slightly red before she quickly turned her head away.

“You hesitated~” The Doctor reached out and poked Amiya’s red cheek. “You really want to see it too, right? When we go back to stay next time, we can persuade her properly. It’s not easy for that old woman to come here… even if she’s not Dr. Kal’tsit, she should get some rest.”

"Dr. Kal'tsit will be angry if she hears that," Amiya said with a smile, glancing at the Doctor. "The last Dr. Warfarin who called him that seemed to have been hung up on for several hours."

"So it only takes a few hours to hang up?" The doctor stroked his chin, his tone carrying a hint of eagerness.

"If Doctor gets hung on the bridge for this reason, I won't save you." Amiya feigned anger as she looked at the Doctor. "Doctor Kal'tsit will really be angry."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not that reckless." The doctor waved his hand. "Even if I were to do something reckless, I would do it at a suitable time."

"So Doctor, you still have to... sigh!" Amiya looked at the Doctor, about to say something, when she was suddenly picked up.

"Hehe, look what I caught~" Huang's energetic voice came from behind Amiya, "It's a cute little bunny~"

Finally, Amiya was turned around by Blaze, who then hugged her and rubbed his cheek against hers.

"Ah~" Amiya tried to push Huang away, but the difference in strength prevented her from breaking free. "Miss Huang, we're still outside, please don't do this~"

"What does it matter~" Huang rubbed Amiya's chubby face vigorously. "It's not work time now, so it doesn't matter."

"This is really not good." Amiya braced herself against Huang's shoulders, trying to get away from the enthusiastic Huang. "Put me down!"

"Hmm, cute little bunny, she's becoming less and less willing to let me get close to her." Huang sighed and put Amiya down. "It's not work time right now."

“No, that won’t do either.” Amiya looked at Huang with some anger. “Besides, I’ve never agreed to let you do this before.”

"Wait a minute." The professor looked at Huang with some suspicion. "If I remember correctly, you were supposed to be in the next group of tourists a few days from now."

"Oh, the work schedule you're talking about?" Huang waved his hand casually. "We had already applied for leave from the HR department using our annual leave when the work schedule was announced."

"And it's not just me, ACE and Scout also sneaked over beforehand, but they disappeared after we got here. Maybe they went somewhere to drink?"

"Okay, then you guys enjoy your vacation." The Doctor nodded. As long as they didn't skip work and went through the proper leave application process, there was nothing to say. Besides, ACE and Blaze weren't medical-related operators, so it didn't matter.

"Isn't that Doctor, Amiya, and Ms. Kira?" Yuzuki's voice suddenly came from the crowd. "So you guys are here for tourism too."

"Huh?" The professor looked in the direction of the voice, and was about to raise his hand to greet her, but his hand froze in place as he looked at Yuuki and the red thing hanging on Yuuki's tail.

Chapter 139: The Trip in Progress

"Miss Yuzuki?" Amiya stared blankly at the dragon horns on Yuzuki's head and the dragon tail on her back. Even when Huang picked her up again from behind, she only gave her a token push.

"Miss Yuzuki, what brings you here today?"

"Good afternoon." Yuzuki waved to Amiya and the others. "There's no need to be so surprised, Amiya. It's not like you haven't seen this before."

Amiya nodded: "Yes, I have seen you like this before, but it's quite rare to see you like this today?"

"Don't worry about this, it's nothing." To prevent her tail from blocking anyone's way, Xiyue swung it in front of her and then casually plucked the red part off.

"It's just that Exia suggested I relax a bit when I travel, so that's how it is."

—————Siesta Central Hotel—————

"Why is everyone in a single room?" Exusiai sat on the sofa, propping her chin up as she looked at Xiyue, who had just put down her luggage, and the Great Emperor, who was smoking a cigar next to her.

"Otherwise, did you think I would book a double room?" The Emperor took the cigar out of his mouth and waved his other hand at Exusiai. "Do I look like such a stingy person, Exusiai?"

"I'd rather the boss be a little stingy right now." Exusiai muttered to herself, turning her face away. As for why she wanted a double room, her intentions were as obvious as day.

"Do you think that's possible?" The Emperor, with his sharp ears, naturally overheard Exusiai's mutterings. "Even if I were to arrange double rooms, I would at most put Red and Yuuki together. You're probably overthinking it."

"Tch~" Exusiai curled her lip. As long as there are double rooms, there's a way. There's also a way if there are single rooms.

"Don't even think about it." Xi Yue picked up her black tea and took a sip. "Even if I were to open the door, I'd only open it for Hong. So don't even think about it."

"I still want to get a good night's sleep and don't want to make a fuss."

"Okay~"

She casually picked up the TV from the sofa and turned it on.

When the TV was turned on, no picture appeared; instead, an advertisement for Siesta appeared first.

[During the two-week Obsidian Festival, in addition to food and entertainment, there are all kinds of entertainment activities open all day, as well as our grandest citywide music festival!]

"Wow, this ad is a whole minute long?" Drawn by the sound, Exusiai looked at the TV and saw that the boot-up ad was 54 seconds long.

“That’s normal.” Croissant waved her hand. “It’s just advertising. Didn’t you see vendors on Longmen Street shouting into megaphones?”

"It can also be used as a reference for where to go for fun later." Kong took the black tea that Xiyue had brewed, poured himself a cup, and took a sip.

We have invited top music artists from all over the world as our special guests to bring you this most exciting music festival!

During the festival, we have prepared various free facilities and activities for everyone to enjoy!

Of course, if you have an event you'd like to hold or products you'd like to sell, you can pay a small fee to the person in charge of your neighborhood to rent a space.

[But please don't forget that we also invited several VIP guests to the music festival to ignite everyone's passion.]

A few photos, deliberately blurred with shadows, flashed by on television at opportune moments. However, if you were familiar with the subject, you could generally recognize who they were.

"Hmm?" Xi Yue was holding a cup of red tea when she suddenly noticed a silhouette of one of the singers who would be participating in the music festival on the TV. After thinking for a moment, she looked at the Great Emperor beside her and said, "I think I know what kind of excitement you want to see."

"Hmm, that's a quick reaction." The Emperor leaned back on the sofa. "But then again, they originally came from here, so it's normal for you to know."

"Sigh, what a twisted sense of humor in every sense of the word?" Xi Yue looked at the Emperor with a slightly helpless expression. "But is it really alright? Aren't you afraid you'll get beaten up afterward, boss?"

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll just hide behind you. Do you think they'll dare to make a move?" The Emperor chuckled wickedly. "Besides, if I can see an interesting reaction, I don't mind getting beaten up a couple of times."

"I won't save you then." Xi Yue took a sip of black tea. "If you get beaten up because of this, it's the boss's fault, you deserve it."

"What kind of riddle are you two playing?" Exusiai, who was full of curiosity, tilted her head. "Tell me, it's come to this point."

"You'll find out when the time comes; you'll definitely see it." The Emperor raised his hand to interrupt Xi Yue, as if he was about to say something. "Keeping a little mystery will make it even more of a surprise."

"Alright, alright, everyone, we're not here to chat." The Emperor casually stubbed out his cigar, clapped his hands, and said, "Go back to your rooms, change into your swimsuits, we're going out to have some fun."

"Hmm." Texas nodded, finished the last bit of her black tea, placed the cup on the table, and stood up.

"Oh, great, a swimsuit party!" Exusiai, who was the most playful, immediately put aside her previous question. As soon as she stood up, her eyes rolled and she looked at Yuzuki next to her.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I have an idea."

"Hmm?" Yuuki looked up at Exusiai's eyes and immediately had a bad feeling. "Exusiai, what kind of terrible idea are you coming up with?"

Exusiai shook her head: "Hehe, it's not exactly a bad idea~"

—————Hotel·Xiyue's Room—————

Yuzuki tied the straps of her blue slippers decorated with seashells, then got up from the bed and hung up the clothes that were on the bed on the rack provided in the wardrobe, placing them inside the wardrobe.

"It's not so bad to do this once in a while, is it?" Yuzuki looked in the mirror at the dragon tail swaying behind her.

Exusiai just suggested that Yuuki should stop using Liberi for the next two weeks, meaning she should temporarily put aside medical matters and enjoy her trip. Even the medical kit that Yuuki habitually carries was taken away by Exusiai under the pretext of relaxation.

The others also agreed with Exusiai's idea. At that time, Yuuki also turned to the Emperor for help, but the Emperor only looked at Yuuki with interest.

At that time, the emperor even added insult to injury by saying that if the swimsuit that Xiyue originally bought was unwearable, he would immediately pay for a new one for her.

Fortunately, the swimsuit that Yuuki bought before could meet the needs of multiple races, so even after reverting to her original form, she could still wear it.

-----------

"That's roughly the situation." Yuzuki smiled at Amiya. "Exusiai and everyone else said to relax, it's not for any special reason."

"Then I wish Miss Xiyue a good holiday." Amiya looked at Xiyue. "Oh, by the way, I remember that the Emperor will also be performing on stage?"

Xi Yue put down the red envelope in her hand: "The boss's words are in the past. Of course, he may have gone off to chat somewhere. If you're interested, remember to come and support him, although with the boss's popularity, he probably doesn't need to."

“As for the Emperor…” Huang suddenly spoke up, “I saw many cars with pictures of the Emperor on the way here.”

"After all, the Emperor is a very famous rapper." Kong, who was holding some skewers, also emerged from the crowd. "Xi Yue, you left too fast. I was just buying something and you disappeared."

"I just heard familiar voices." Yuuki smiled and raised her hand to touch Sora's head. "Texas, Exusiai, and Croissant."

"Exusiai saw that there was a free tasting event at the cake shop and excitedly ran over to eat some." After enjoying Yuuki's touch for a while, Sora turned her head away. "Texas went to buy some drinks and should be here soon."

"As for Croissant, she's already gone to the beach to grab a spot for us."

"Thank you for your hard work, Croissant. We'll head over there in a bit. But Exusiai is such a glutton." Yuzuki shook her head helplessly. However, for Exusiai, free samples of desserts were indeed quite appealing.

“Exusiai might not be here for a while,” Texas said, squeezing through the crowd. “I saw her in that cake shop with a ton of desserts and she seemed pretty happy.”

"This is such a devoted dessert lover," Yuzuki chuckled. "Oh, by the way, Amiya, have you guys been to that beach? Although it can't really be called the sea."

"Yes, indeed." The doctor nodded. "At best, it can only be considered a relatively large lake; I don't think it can compare to the sea."

“With someone here, I think any beach can be called a beach.” Sora smiled and glanced at Yuzuki beside him.

Yuuki, who was standing to the side, shrugged as she felt Sora's gaze.

Seeing Xiyue's actions, Kong smiled and continued, "Besides, with water, sand, and sunshine, it can be called a beach."

“That’s true, a lot of people have never seen the sea.” Huang nodded. “Those two big guys, ACE and Scout, are smarter than me. They took leave and ran away before the schedule was even announced.”

"They've probably been playing here all day. I wonder where they went."

“I think if it’s as noisy here at night as it is during the day, a lot of people won’t be able to sleep, right?” Yu Yue looked at Huang and pointed to the loudspeaker that was still playing music. “Although it fits the atmosphere of a music festival, if it’s this noisy all day long, I guess a lot of people won’t be able to sleep.”

"What does it matter?" Exusiai, holding a donut, also squeezed out of the crowd. "You guys run so fast, didn't you even wait for me?"
