I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"So crispy! And it has a chewy texture inside, it tastes so good!"

In response to Viya's praise, Youhaka nodded with an "OwO" expression and said:

Mmm~ Squid~ Delicious~

Afterwards, Viya also sampled other dishes, and each taste brought her a completely new sensory experience. To be honest, Viya thoroughly enjoyed the welcome party.

Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a hearty meal. Ji Lin also introduced Viya to the operation of some of the appliances in Youhaka's house, since Viya didn't recognize these things. After the introduction, Ji Lin took Viya to the Meru Cat Restaurant.

While Ji Lin was introducing the restaurant to Viya, Viya looked at Ji Lin with a curious expression and asked what the restaurant was. Ji Lin explained, and upon hearing his explanation, Viya looked surprised and said:

"I see, so such a facility exists in this world. How surprising..."

Ji Lin clapped his hands and said:

"Yes! I felt the same way when I first came here. To be honest, I was also wondering why there were facilities like restaurants."

Although after chatting for a while, Viya also felt that her skin was a bit dry, so she asked Ji Lin where there was a pool or something.

Upon hearing Viya's words, Ji Lin also raised his finger and said:

"Then let's go take a shower!"

Chapter 572 [Kal'tsit: How come there's another little girl?]

In the days that followed, Viya stayed temporarily at Yuhaka's house. Sometimes, Viya would return to Pandora to bring back some good things for her tribe.

As Yuhaka and her friends continued running their Meru Cat Restaurant and going hunting whenever they felt like it, one day, the usually unnoticed Zelus suddenly appeared and said to Yuhaka and Jilin:

“Youyou, Ji Lin, a void transfer phenomenon has appeared.”

Hearing Zelus's words, Yuhaka and Jilin, who were washing the dishes, were also stunned. Jilin, who was standing to the side, looked at Zelus with a curious expression and said:

"Has it appeared? Are we going to that other world again to resolve that void transfer objective?"

Zelus answered Ji Lin's question very readily:

"That world is one you're familiar with; it's the world of Arknights that you visited before."

Hearing Zelus's words, Yuhaka's large tail wagged expertly, while Ji Lin stroked his chin and said:

"I don't think we went back after we took down that Black Devouring Dragon last time. Will we get yelled at if we go back now...?"

Zelu looked at Ji Lin speechlessly and said:

"Uh... probably not..."

Then, remembering something, Zelus said to Jilin and Yuhaka:

"Oh, right, you should also bring Viya along. She's a system user, and one day she might go to other worlds to deal with those things. It'll be good to bring her along to give her some training."

Hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin looked at Zelus's system panel with some concern and said:

"But doesn't that world have dangerous things like Originium? What if I accidentally get infected?"

In response to Ji Lin's concerns, Zelus shook the system panel and said:

"You don't need to worry about this. The system on Viya will protect her from any dangerous things like Originium."

After hearing Zelusi's answer, Ji Lin no longer needed to worry about Viya.

.................................................. ......................

In the world of Arknights, Texas is driving a small transport vehicle in the suburbs, carrying a group of Penguin Logistics people to the independent coastal city of Siesta. Of course, they are not going there for a vacation, but to escort their boss to a music festival. In addition, the company's work requires them to take some photos and videos related to the seaside.

Yuhaka, Jilin, and Viya were also in the car. A few days ago, Yuhaka took Jilin and Viya back to Rhodes Island. However, as soon as they returned to Rhodes Island, Yuhaka and Jilin were scolded by Kal'tsit. Although Yuhaka and Jilin were not Rhodes Island operators, their behavior was very dangerous.

Besides the danger of falling from the sky, there's also the fact that that area is Ursus. If the Ursus officials find out that Yuhaka and her group have been there, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

But the most important thing is Viya, whom Yhaka and Jilin brought back. When Kal'tsit saw Viya, she had a "???" look on her face, as if she was saying that Yhaka had picked up another little girl, and that she happened to know Yhaka and Jilin's little girl.

This made Kal'tsit suspect that Ehaka might have a habit of picking up young girls outside, but Kal'tsit didn't pay too much attention to it. Following Rhodes Island's tradition, she conducted an examination first. Then, Kal'tsit discovered yet another person who hadn't been contaminated by Originium. Kal'tsit was a little numb. Were people with zero Originium contamination becoming less and less valuable lately?

What Kal'tsit found unusual was that Warfarin didn't shout about anything like "drawing blood" or "dissection." Could it be that Warfarin had been switched with someone else? Hmm, I'll test her next time.

Warfarin, who was researching how to use her Originium Arts to remove Originium from her blood, suddenly sneezed. She wiped her nose, looked around with a puzzled expression, and said:

"Huh? That bastard is saying bad things?"

The scene returns to the small transport vehicle of Penguin Logistics...

On the delivery truck, Croissant, looking on with curiosity, asked the hesitant Viya in front of her:

"Um, little sister Viya?"

Hearing Croissant's words, Viya was startled and a little shy. She blinked at Croissant and asked, "..."

"Sister Croissant, is there something you need?"

Croissant waved her hand and said to Viya with a smile:

"Oh, don't be nervous, sister. I just wanted to ask you, Viya, where are you from?"

Upon hearing Croissant's question, Viya paused for a moment before telling Croissant that she had come from a place called Pandora. Croissant, after hearing Viya's answer, looked thoughtful, wondering if there was such a place as Pandora, a moving city.

However, Croissant probably thought that Pandora was a place name. After asking some other questions, Croissant also realized that Viya came from a primitive tribe with backward technology. Well... you could tell from the clothes Viya was wearing. After all, nowadays, no one wears armor made of the fur of some unknown wild animal. Moreover, the spear that Viya brought looked like it was made of some kind of animal bones and claws. She didn't look like someone from a modern city at all.

Just then, Exusiai, Ehaka, and Jirin came out of the kitchen. Exusiai was holding a plate of apple pie and said to the two of them:

"Yay! The fresh apple pie is ready! Everyone come and have a taste!"

Hearing Exusiai's words, Viya, looking curiously at the apple pie in Exusiai's hand, asked:

"Apple pie? What's that??"

Exusiai looked at Viya with a puzzled expression and said:

"Hmm? Little Viya, you've never seen an apple pie before?"

Viya shook her head and said:

"Hmm, I've never seen that before. Where I'm from, we just pick the fruit directly from the tree to eat."

Upon hearing Viya's words, Croissant and Exusiai couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for the primitive life Viya lived.

Chapter 573 [Siesta Music Festival]

Viya also noticed the pitying expressions on Exusiai and Croissant's faces and looked puzzled. Viya clearly didn't understand why she was being looked at like that by Exusiai and Croissant.

Fortunately, after Exusiai placed the apple pie in front of Viya, Viya focused her attention on it. The golden apple pie with a slight fruity aroma piqued her interest.

Exusiai handed the sliced ​​apple pie to Viya and said:

"Come and try it~ Although I'm not very good at cooking, my apple pie skills are just as good as Yoyo's!"

Viya was a little surprised after hearing what Exusiai said. After all, she knew Yuhaka's cooking skills, since she ate it almost every day. If Exusiai said that her apple pie skills were similar to Yuhaka's, then it must be delicious too.

Then Viya said, "Then I won't be polite," picked up a piece of apple pie and put it in her mouth, immediately covering her mouth and making an "mmm" sound.

After swallowing the apple pie in mid-air, Viya looked at the apple pie in her hand with bright, sparkling eyes and said:

"It's so delicious! It's a little sweet, and the outside is a bit crispy. It's so good!"

After hearing Viya's praise, Exusiai, with a slightly upturned nose and a proud look on her face, said:

"Well, I guess I should say it's just like me~"

Croissant, seeing Exusiai's smug expression, gave a speechless look and said:

"Wow... Exusiai is so arrogant."

After hearing Croissant's words, Yuhaka sniffed Exusiai and looked at Croissant with a puzzled expression, saying:

"It doesn't smell bad, huh?"

Seeing Yuhka's expression, Exusiai, standing to the side, also twitched her lips and said:

"Uh... Yu-Yu-chan, that wasn't referring to the smell..."

Hearing Exusiai's words, Ehaka looked up at Exusiai with a curious expression, while Croissant, standing beside her, also looked like she wanted to laugh and explained to Ehaka:

"Youyou, that just means someone likes to put on airs and act arrogantly, it doesn't mean someone smells bad."

"Oh, I understand, Youyou~"

.................................. ...............................................................................

Afterwards, amidst everyone's conversation and the arrival of the Penguin Logistics transport truck carrying the apple pie made by Exusiai, the independent city-state of Siesta finally arrived.

The Penguin Logistics team and Yuhaka and the others got off the transport truck and arrived at Siesta. Here, Viya saw a big city for the first time and showed a surprised expression.

"Oh~~OoO! Is this a city? This is the first time I've ever seen one~"

Just as Viya said, this was also the first time she had ever seen a city. Although Viya had been to the world of Yuhaka, she had never been to a human city there. After all, Viya's appearance didn't seem suitable for a human city. Of course, if it were Xiao Hei (to avoid confusing the Xiao Hei from Arknights and the Xiao Hei from Another World's Diner, we'll call him Xiao Hei here), Xiao Hei could use magic to cast an illusion on Viya. However, Viya still had a slight aversion to humans, so she didn't let Xiao Hei cast an illusion on her.

Exusiai, standing to the side, looked at Viya's surprised expression and asked with some confusion:

"Hmm? Little Viya has never seen a city before?"

Viya nodded in agreement regarding Exusiai's question, since there were no cities on her Pandora. Of course, Viya had learned some about cities from Bronya and the others, but only from pictures and videos. This was the first time she had ever seen a city in person.

Exusiai and Croissant exchanged a glance. When they found Yhaka, he was also wearing a fur cloak. It seemed that they could guess where Yhaka came from.

Meanwhile, after Texas paid the parking fee, she went to Ehaka and Exusiai. Exusiai looked at Texas, raised one hand, waved, and said:

"Hey! Texas, did you get things sorted out over there?"

Texas nodded in agreement regarding Exusiai's question, indicating that there were no issues. Croissant, standing next to Exusiai, looked at the group behind Texas with some confusion and said:

"Huh? Where did Sora, the boss, and Is go?"

Upon hearing Croissant's question, Texas also spoke up to explain:

"The boss and Kong need to go to other places first, so let us go to the hotel to put our luggage away."

After hearing Texas's answer, Croissant looked like she understood. Then, the group put their luggage and other items in the hotel. Texas and her group took this opportunity to have some fun. It would be a waste to have a proper time to enjoy the resort city of Siesta.

Then, a few people dressed in casual clothes arrived on the streets of Siesta. Viya looked around the streets with curiosity and said to Yuhaka and the others:

"Wow, this place is so spacious, and there are so many people..."

Ji Lin, looking at the many groups of people around him, also spoke up:

"I guess there's some kind of festival being held here? And since this is a resort city, it attracts a lot of tourists, right?"

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Croissant, who was petting Yuhaka nearby, also raised a finger and said:

"That's right! Because of the Obsidian Festival, which lasts for almost half a month, many tourists come here. Most importantly, it's also a city-wide music festival!"
