Poseidon in Arknights

“Miss Specter, I don’t recommend you stand up.” Yuuki looked at Specter, who was being helped up by Skadi.

“Oh, beautiful doctor~” Ghost Shark looked at Yuuki, gently pushed away Skadi’s support, and leaned her whole body towards Yuuki.

Seeing the overturned Specter Shark, Yuuki quickly stepped forward and hugged it in her arms.

Yuuki looked down at the smiling Ghost Shark and tapped his head: "It's dangerous for you to be like this. Your body has just undergone surgery. Although the physical fitness of Deep Sea Hunters far exceeds that of ordinary people, it is not a reason for you to get out of bed at will."

"Especially the spine..."

Ghost Shark watched with a broad smile as Yuuki kept rambling on and on, her face full of worry. She could sense that Yuuki's rambling stemmed from her dissatisfaction with her rash actions, as well as her genuine concern.

"In short, you can't right now..."

Before Yuuki could finish speaking, Ghost Shark put a finger to her lips: "Alright, alright, my beautiful doctor, thank you for your concern~"

"Sigh... If you want to thank me for my concern," Yuuzuki sighed, looking at Ghost Shark, "then you'd better stay in bed and rest."

"No, my beautiful doctor~" Ghost Shark leaned against Yuuki, feigning weakness, and freed her hands with Yuuki's help.

Then Ghost Shark made a pleading gesture with both hands, while also putting on a pitiful expression: "My beautiful doctor, it's so rare for me to be lucid for even once."

"I haven't even properly looked around here yet~"

Yuuki opened her mouth, about to refuse, but looking at the pitiful look on Specter's face, she said, "Okay, okay, but first of all, Miss Specter, just call me Yuuki."

“Then…” Yuuki made a wheelchair out of water and gently placed Ghost Shark on it. “This way, I’ll take you out.”

“I thought the doctor would carry me out on her back.” Ghost Shark looked up at Yuuki. “Besides, I think I can walk by myself.”

"If I said I carried it on my back, you probably wouldn't say anything like that, right?" Yuzuki squinted at Ghost Shark.

Ghost Shark smiled, but said nothing.

"As expected..." Yu Yue sighed, pushed the wheelchair out of the ward, and turned to Skadi, "Let's go, shall we go for a walk outside?"

"Oh, coming." Skadi was still thinking about why Specter had pushed her away, but when she heard Yuuki's call, she hurriedly followed.

"Oh, Dr. Kal'tsit." Yuuki pushed the wheelchair out of the ward and saw Kal'tsit and Amiya looking at the big hole that they had bumped into earlier.

"Ah, I forgot about that." Yuuki looked at the big hole and scratched her head.

"Yes, it's alright, Dr. Yuzuki." Amiya quickly turned to look at Yuzuki. "It's just a small scratch, it'll be fixed soon."

"Don't be so formal, Amiya." Yuzuki smiled at Amiya and took out a restoration crystal from her pocket. "Making a mistake is still making a mistake. Whether it's making amends or repairing it yourself, it's what you should do."

"Come here." Yuuki waved for Kal'tsit and Amiya to come over.

Although it was a bit strange, Amiya and Kal'tsit still walked up to Yuuki's side, and then Yuuki threw the crystal in her hand.

The crystal shattered the moment it hit the ground, unleashing a burst of intense light that swept around the area. When the light faded, the two large holes in the wall had been restored to their original state.

"It works perfectly as always." Yuuki nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Amiya beside her. "The door to the Ghost Shark ward was also fixed, so we don't need to go check on it."

Amiya looked at the repaired wall, somewhat surprised, but considering the other party's identity, she suppressed her surprise: "Then thank you, Miss Yuzuki."

"It's nothing, I'm sorry to have disturbed the other patients' rest." Yuzuki pushed the wheelchair further and further away. "I'm taking Ghost Shark out for some fresh air. Have a nice day."

————Rhode Island Leisure and Commercial District————

"Hmm~" Ghost Shark sat comfortably on the recliner, put down the desserts he had just bought, reached out and picked up the black tea that Yuzuki had just brewed, took a sip, and said, "Miss Yuzuki's cooking is really good."

"Thank you for your appreciation, Miss Specter." Yuuki nodded, then noticed out of the corner of her eye that Skadi had almost finished eating everything she had just bought.

"Really." Yuuki reached out and touched Skadi's hair. "I haven't even eaten two pieces yet."

"Well……"

Specter smiled as she looked at Yuuki, who was helplessly rubbing Skadi, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Miss Yuuki, I have a question to ask."

"what?"

"When will I be able to walk normally?" Ghost Shark put down the red tea in his hand, and after staggering to his feet by supporting himself on the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair, he threw himself into Yuuki's arms.

"Be careful." Xi Yue quickly put down the black tea in her hand. "The black tea in my hand is still hot."

“This will take a little time, Specter, don’t rush.” Yuuki reached out and helped Specter sit comfortably on her lap. “I completely removed the crystallized nerves that were eroded by the Originium solution and then regenerated them for you. It will take some time for you to adapt.”

Yuuki gently touched the area that had been treated, and Ghost Shark, feeling Yuuki's touch, leaned gently against Yuuki's chest.

Skadi stared blankly at Specter and Yuuki interacting, both of them looking like little birds nestled together. She wished she could stand up and interact with Yuuki like that too.

'Why is the shark so skilled?' For some reason, Skadi suddenly wanted to imitate the handkerchief-biting action of a character in a TV series she had watched before, but unfortunately, Skadi didn't have the habit of carrying a handkerchief.

Ghost Shark traced circles on Yuuki's chest with his fingers. "So, my lovely doctor, when can my next treatment begin?"

"It depends on how well you recover," Yuuki said, patting Ghost Shark's head. "But afterwards, I'll have to go back to Penguin Logistics; I can't stay here permanently."

"Oh?" Specter's fingers paused as she looked at Yuuki. "So, Miss Yuuki isn't a doctor from Rhodes Island?"

"Not."

"..." Specter fell into deep thought. "I wonder if Dr. Kal'tsit would be willing to issue me a travel permit?"

As soon as Ghost Shark finished speaking, Yuuki flicked him on the forehead: "Your body hasn't recovered yet, don't do anything reckless, just rest and recover."

"Waaah~" Ghost Shark covered his forehead, looking at Yuuki with feigned pitifulness, "But now only the doctor can slowly treat my illness."

“It’s not like I’m not coming back, and you also need some time to gradually adapt to the regenerating nerves.” Yuuki patted Specter’s head. “If I remember correctly, Penguin Logistics and Rhodes Island should have signed a long-term transportation agreement.”

Skadi's eyes lit up; she had finally found her advantage: "Shark, don't cause trouble for Yuuki. As a patient, you should focus on recovering."

Specter turned around and looked at Skadi, who had a smug look on her face: "Yeah, I'm a patient now, Skadi. But I'm not safe in nun mode. I think I need a caregiver who can keep me in check."

With a broad smile, Specter looked at Skadi, whose face had frozen. "You can't run away alone. Either take me with you, or stay here with me."

Yuuki didn't think that much about it. After all, Specter's power was indeed amazing, and there weren't many people in the medical department who could directly suppress Specter in terms of strength.

So Yuuki looked at Skadi, whose face was stiff, and said, "Then, Skadi, I'll leave Specter here to you. Please stay and take care of him for a bit."

Skadi looked at Yuuki with tears welling up in her eyes, and finally nodded with difficulty: "Okay..."

“I will take good care of the shark.” Skadi stepped forward and forcibly pulled the Specter Shark, who was still clinging to Yuuki, back onto the wheelchair.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but when Skadi said "take care of", did she sound a little too harsh?

"Oh, right, Specter." Yuuki suddenly remembered something and looked at Specter.

"whats the matter?"

Do you need me to help you deal with those people?

Specter paused for a moment, realizing who Yuuki was referring to, and then shook her head: "No need, Miss Yuuki."

“I don’t need your help.” Ghost Shark smiled, revealing his shark-like teeth. Although his face was full of smiles, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. “I will enjoy the process of hunting them as a hunter.”

"I see." Xi Yue nodded. "Then, do you need me to find their hunting grounds for you?"

"Finding prey is also a hunter's pleasure," Ghost Shark shook his head and refused again, "Please don't take away my pleasure, Miss Yuzuki. I want to make them the perfect prey after my recovery."

"Is that so?" Yuzuki nodded. "In that case, I won't ask any further questions."

"Hey, is Yuuki having afternoon tea here?" Exusiai's highly recognizable voice rang out from afar.

"Did you buy so much stuff?" Yuuki heard Exusiai's voice and turned to look at her as Exusiai walked over carrying a large bag of snacks and other items.

"No, Skadi ate all the snacks in the car, so I definitely needed to get some more." Exusiai handed the bag to Yuuki. "It's good that I ran into you, Yuuki. Is there any room in your clothes? Help me put it in, my arms are getting tired of carrying it~"

"Then don't buy so much. Look at this big bag." Xi Yue casually took the bag and stuffed it into her clothes.

"Can we manage if we don't buy more?" Exusiai put one hand on her hip and pointed at Skadi next to her.

“But Skadi isn’t coming back with us.” Yuzuki shrugged.

"Oh! So you weren't coming back with us?" Exusiai looked at Skadi. "I thought you would come back with us."

“Waaah…” Skadi let out a mournful cry, “I have to take care of my friends, so I can’t go back with them.”

Looking at Skadi, Yuuki thought, 'Is it possible that you're not from Penguin Logistics, but from Rhodes Island? At least Skadi, you still have your Rhodes Island employee badge.'

"Oh, you're the friend Skadi said she wanted to help?" Exusiai, sitting in a wheelchair beside Yuuki, leaned down after watching for a while and whispered, "Can this be cured too?"

“Yes, it’s possible, but it will take a little time.” Xi Yue nodded. “However, I must remind you that the other party can hear us.”

Exusiai paused for a moment, then turned to Specter, who was smiling at him, and said, "Um, sorry."

“It’s alright.” Specter shook her head, then reached out and grabbed Skadi’s hand. “Because of the surgery, I can only sit in a wheelchair for the time being, so Skadi volunteered to stay and take care of me.”

Skadi tried to pull her hand back but found that Specter was gripping her hand with considerable force: "Tch."

Exusiai nodded, though she felt a little bad about buying too much snacks, but quickly shrugged indifferently: "I can just use them at parties, you can never have too many snacks."

"But where did Texas go?"

"I don't know." Yuuki shook her head in response to Exusiai's question.

"That shouldn't be the case," Exusiai scratched her head. "She should have bought them all a long time ago, shouldn't she?"

When Exusiai was buying snacks, she wondered if she could run into Texas. There was only one supermarket in this leisure area, and based on Exusiai's experience, Texas would usually find a place to rest nearby after shopping.

But it's not there, otherwise Texas would definitely have called for Exusiai. Now Yuuki also says she hasn't seen her. So where did Texas go?

"No need to call anymore, they're here." Just as Exusiai was thinking about whether to make a call to ask, Yuuki saw Texas eating Pocky and walking over from the same path Exusiai had just taken.

"Looking for me?" On his way here, Texas saw Exusiai looking around and guessed that she was probably looking for her.

"Mmm." Exusiai nodded, then looked down at the large bag of Pocky in Texas's hand. "Buying so many?"

"Okay." Texas nodded, took a few boxes out of the packaging bag and put them in her small bag, then handed the bag to Yuuki, "Keep these safe for me."

"Okay." After putting the bag of Pocky away, Xi Yue complained, "Why do I feel like you guys are using me as a mobile warehouse?"

"Well, you have such amazing abilities, Yuuki~" Exusiai shrugged. "It would be a shame not to use them~"

“Hmm…” Compared to the carefree Exusiai beside her, Texas spoke after biting off the Pocky in her mouth, “Thank you for your help.”

"It's nothing, I was just saying." Xi Yue pointed to the black tea on the table. "Would you like another cup?"

----------

"I don't feel full." Exusiai stuffed the last piece of cake into her mouth.

"It's just afternoon tea. How much do you want to eat? Aren't you going to eat dinner? Exusiai?" Yuuki smiled and tidied up the tea set on the table. "It's getting late. Shall we go?"

"Is there something you need?" Texas looked up at Yuuki. "If there's nothing else, you can stay for the night. Rhodes Island has rooms available because of our long-term partnership."

"Everything else is fine." Xi Yue calculated the time. "Let's rest for the night before going back. Driving at night isn't good."
