I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Is this another world...?" Dressed in simple casual clothes, Mebius looked around at the various demi-humans with animal ears and horns and was somewhat surprised by what he saw. Although he knew about the situation here, Mebius was still quite surprised to see angels with halos.

Although he really wanted to capture these demi-humans for research, Mebius suppressed that thought. After all, he wouldn't be foolish enough to invite trouble like that. Besides, Yhaka could come to this world at any time, so Mebius could also use Yhaka to come here. He could then do whatever he wanted to research.

When everyone wanted to explore, they decided to split up and explore separately. After all, so many people together would be conspicuous, and everyone had their own places to visit. Therefore, it was better for everyone to separate and meet up at a certain location after some time.

The team is also divided into several groups. One group is led by Yuhaka, and the other group consists of Yuhaka, Esther, Kanna, Theresa, Kuro, Anna, Melyuki, Yoshino, and Yoshina, who are searching for delicious food.

The other is a team consisting of Ji Lin, Tiamat, Mira (a sword dance character from Spirit Master), Via, Jack, Sakuzuki Miyu, Yuki, Yu Lin, Little Titi, Yae Suzu, Bronya, Eve, Abigail, and Jack.

Finally, there's the "Nothing Team," consisting of Medea Lily and Elodie, Honjou Nia, Tokisaki Kurumi, Mebius, Takaka, and Yuris.

After Yuhaka and the others assigned teams, everyone began their journey to Siesta according to their team objectives. When Yuhaka and the others arrived, the Rhodes Island team also arrived in Siesta.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1889 [An Encounter with Skadi and Grani]

After splitting up, Yuhaka and her friends wandered around Siesta. Besides the music festival activities, there were other events as well. In addition to the food events that Yuhaka liked, there were various festival-like games and souvenirs or merchandise sold.

Visitors who come here will generally not be bored; even those who don't come for the music festival can still have a great time at these events and by the sea.

On the streets of Siesta, Nia Honjou and her friends were strolling around. After all, this was their first time traveling to a world outside the real world. Looking at the bustling streets around them, Nia Honjou said with a slightly regretful expression, "This place is really nice. It's not only very lively, but it also seems very interesting. It's just a pity that there aren't many things related to anime and manga here..."

Hearing Nia Honjou's words, Kurumi Tokisaki, who was standing next to her, smiled and said, "Well, well~ after all, this is a music festival, not a comic convention, so it's normal to have things related to anime and manga." Nia Honjou nodded and said, "Kurumi, you're right. But there should be games here, right? Shall we go check it out?"

In response to Nia Honjou's suggestion, Kurumi Tokisaki shrugged and said, "I don't mind, after all, I came here to relax." Hearing Kurumi's words, Nia Honjou shouted "Yay!" and then asked Elodie and the others, "So, what about you guys, Mimiya?"

Hearing Nia Honjou's words, Medea Lily glanced at the flyer in her hand and said, "I'd like to visit a clothing store here. The fashion designs in this world seem very trendy, and I'm quite interested in them." Nia Honjou nodded in agreement, saying, "Oh, that's true. The fashion design level in this world is much higher than in Yu-Yu's world. Should I buy some fashion magazines about this world?"

Thinking about this, Nia Honjou also fell into thought, while Elodie was interested in the magic of this world—that is, Originium Arts. Although the magic of this world is different from the magic of Elodie's world in essence, Elodie is still very interested in this kind of magic.

After hearing Elodie express interest in Originium Arts, Medea Lily also became interested in Originium from this world. However, since Originium and related staffs and equipment are not easy to obtain, it would be very difficult for them to find Originium Arts staffs and equipment here. At most, they could only buy some books related to Originium Arts, but of course, these would not be the best; they might just be used to fool ordinary people.

"By the way, little snake, what about you?" Honjou Nia turned to Mebius, who was curiously staring around, and asked. Hearing the word "snake," Mebius also turned to look at Honjou Nia and said, "Let's see if there are any books about the creatures of this world available here. I'm quite interested in the creatures of this world."

Upon hearing Möbius's words, Honjou Nia scratched the back of her head, thinking, "So it really is Möbius?" Her first purpose in coming to this other world was to find creatures from it. If this world weren't so orderly, Honjou Nia would have suspected that Möbius would have personally gone to capture creatures he had never seen before.

Then Nia Honjou turned to Yuris and Takaka, who were standing to the side, and asked, "What about you two?" Upon hearing Nia Honjou's question, Yuris, who was wearing a cloak and nun's habit, replied, "Well... I don't have any particular purpose. If possible, I would like to study the mobile cities and industries, military and cultural religions of this world, as well as some materials."

Takaka, standing to the side, replied, "Um, nothing, just looking at the ingredients."

Hearing what the two said, aside from Takaka searching for ingredients like Yuhaka, there was nothing else going on. However, Yuris's words made Honjo Nia feel a little scared. For some reason, Honjo Nia had a feeling that Yuris would send the church's protectors to launch a holy war against this world. However, Honjo Nia didn't think too much about it, after all, she was just an ordinary anime character.

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

Ji Lin and her group of kids went to see what changes had occurred in Siesta, and also to see what items they could use at home. They also went to the swimsuit shop, since they hadn't bought any swimsuits when they came here. Of course, Ji Lin had bought some last time, but now they didn't have enough, and the others hadn't bought any swimsuits before, so they would also be buying some to wear.

"Wow, how daring!" Abigail blushed as she looked at the swimsuits in front of her. To Abigail, the amount of fabric was unbelievable. After all, Abigail lived in the late 17th century, when swimsuits didn't exist like modern ones. In the 18th century, swimsuits were full-body garments. Abigail was so shocked to see the swimsuits, which were made of similar fabric to the equipment of Jack the Heroic Spirit.

Abigail, her face flushed, looked at Ji Lin beside her and asked, "Ji... Sister Ji Lin, do we really have to wear these swimsuits?" Hearing Abigail's question, Ji Lin patted Abigail's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Abigail, you don't need to wear swimsuits like these. After all, swimsuits aren't just those with pitifully little fabric; there are also these..."

As she spoke, Ji Lin took out a swimsuit that looked like a little dress and handed it to Abigail. Abigail breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the swimsuit, at least she wouldn't have to wear those swimsuits that looked like they weren't even underwear. The others also had no objections to the swimsuits and began to choose their own favorites.

After choosing their swimsuits, Ji Lin and the others went to the beach to play. After all, it would be a shame to come to the beach and not play.

Meanwhile, after changing into their swimsuits, Yuhaka and her friends arrived at the beach. At the edge of the beach, a large number of food stalls were set up, which caught their attention.

As Yuhaka and her friends devoured the food stalls, Yuhaka spotted a few familiar faces. Looking at Skadi with her long white hair, Yuhaka pointed and exclaimed, "Ah, it's Skadi! OwO~"

Hearing Yuhka's voice, Skadi looked over at Yuhka and the others. Upon seeing Yuhka, Skadi looked at them with surprise, as she hadn't expected them to come here. After all, they were teammates who had fought together. Skadi greeted Yuhka and the others, saying, "Long time no see, Yuhka."

The others who had met Skadi greeted her. After exchanging greetings, Skadi looked at Yuhaka and the others and asked, "Why are you all here, Yuhaka?" Hearing Skadi's question, Yuhaka explained, "Well, Yuhaka brought her family here to play. OwO~" Skadi seemed relieved to hear Yuhaka's answer. It seemed that Yuhaka and the others had come here for a vacation, not to deal with an event like the one they encountered in the previous world.

"OwO?" Seeing Skadi's relieved expression, a small question mark appeared on Ehka's head. Ehka obviously didn't know why Skadi suddenly relaxed, but he didn't take it to heart. Ehka looked at Skadi and asked her what she was doing there. Skadi replied that she was here on vacation. After her last return, Skadi told Kal'tsit about her journey to another world, and Kal'tsit thought she should relax.

Hearing Kal'tsit's words, Skadi felt a little sad that what she said was considered a joke. However, regarding relaxation, Skadi felt that she should indeed rest for a while. Of course, if she didn't rest and wanted to work, Skadi felt that Kal'tsit probably wouldn't give her any work assignments. Skadi obediently let Grani pull her away.

Upon hearing about Skadi's situation, Yuhaka patted Skadi on the shoulder with a sympathetic expression to comfort her, and also handed her a skewer of grilled squid. Skadi took the skewer from Yuhaka and began to eat it with gusto.

"Skadi, I bought the ice cream cone~ Huh?" Grani, who had just returned from shopping, was stunned to see Yuhaka and the others with Skadi. Grani was clearly confused, as Skadi wasn't very popular on Rhodes Island and didn't know many people, something Grani was well aware of. However, seeing how Yuhaka and the others seemed to know Skadi made Grani a little puzzled.

"Um... are you Skadi's friends?" Grani asked Yuhaka and the others with a hint of doubt. Hearing Grani's question, Yuhaka raised her little hand and said, "Yes, we're friends! OwO~"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Grani looked at Skadi, who was sucking on a squid, with a puzzled expression, as if to confirm. Skadi, seeing what Grani wanted to ask, put down her squid skewer and said to Grani, "We fought together." Upon hearing Skadi's words, Grani gave a look of realization—yeah, right? Looking at Yuhaka's group, except for the little black guy, everyone else was shorter than her; they looked like a bunch of Omega students on a trip!

Despite Grani's thoughts, Grani didn't think Skadi would make up any lies to deceive her. After all, Grani knew Skadi well enough that a straightforward person like Skadi wouldn't lie, right?

"Hello, I'm Grani from Rhodes Island, Skadi's friend. And you are...?" Grani introduced herself to Yuhaka first. Hearing Grani's introduction, Yuhaka and the others also gave brief introductions. Upon hearing Yuhaka's introduction, Grani thought for a moment, then pointed at Yuhaka and said, "Yu-Yu? Oh! You're the manager of that very famous Meru Cat Restaurant on Rhodes Island, right?!"

Grani was a little surprised when she thought of this, after all, Yuhaka was quite famous for running the Meru Cat Restaurant on Rhodes Island, so Grani was relatively familiar with Yuhaka. Grani had never met Yuhaka before and did not recognize her at first.

Yuhaka didn't deny Grani's words, but instead put on a smug expression. However, at that moment, Yuhaka seemed to remember something and looked at Skadi and Grani, saying, "Why don't you and Skadi go play with Yuhaka and Grani?" After thinking for a moment, Grani replied, "I'm fine with that, but what about you, Skadi?" Grani looked at Skadi, who was standing to the side, and asked for her opinion. Skadi nodded while sucking on her squid, indicating that she had no problem.

"Okay, let's go play together then. But where do you guys plan to go?" Grani clapped her hands and asked Yuhaka and the others where they wanted to go. Yuhaka replied that they wanted to try all the food stalls around there first. Hearing this, Grani broke out in a cold sweat. Trying to eat at every single food stall? Even several stomachs wouldn't be enough!

Grani suddenly regretted being with Yuhaka and the others...

Skadi herself had no objections; she was just a ruthless little killer whale sucking squid.

At the same time, a faint blue light flashed across the sea in Siesta, followed by the same light shimmering on the seabed like undulating waves, before falling silent.

Within the volcano near Siesta, a pulse of lava is surging, like the heart of a giant.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1890 [The Anomalies at the Seaside and the Volcano]

After Yuhaka and her friends met Skadi and Grani, they joined forces. Grani then saw that, apart from Yoshino and the others, Yuhaka alone ate most of the food on the food stalls. Seeing this, Grani understood why Yuhaka dared to say that she had eaten all the food on the food street.

However, at that moment, when Yuhaka and her friends arrived at a barbecue stall, Yuhaka saw an acquaintance doing barbecue there.

"Huh? Yuu-yu?" Ifrit, who was grilling at the barbecue stand and wearing a swimsuit in the style of Rhine Lab, was slightly taken aback when she saw Yuhaka. Yuhaka, seeing her, stretched out her little hand to greet Ifrit, saying, "Ifrit OwO／～". Hearing Yuhaka's words, Ifrit reacted and looked at Yuhaka, saying, "Ah! It's Yuu-yu! Long time no see!"

Upon seeing Yuhaka's arrival, Ifrit waved to her and the others. After Yuhaka and the others came to Ifrit's stall, Ifrit also saw the group of people with Yuhaka. Ifrit looked at Yuhaka and the others with some curiosity. To be honest, Ifrit had never seen the children with Yuhaka before. After all, although there were quite a few children on Rhodes Island, Ifrit had seen most of them. Although she didn't recognize some of them, she could at least remember their appearances.

"I didn't see you, Yuu, on Rhodes Island before?" Ifrit asked Yuhaka with a puzzled look. After all, the Rhodes Island group had all come down together, but ifrit, who was among the first group to arrive, hadn't seen Yuhaka and the others. This puzzled Ifrit. Yuhaka explained, "Yuu came from home OwO~ It's normal that Ifrit didn't see Yuu~".

After hearing Yuhaka's explanation, Ifrit nodded and said, "I see, then it's normal that I didn't see you, Yuyu... Never mind, Yuyu, do you want to try my grilled meat skewers?" Hearing Ifrit's words, Yuhaka looked at Ifrit's grill and pointed to a few skewers, saying, "Those are almost burnt, OwO."

"Huh? Whoa?! Yabai?!" Hearing Yuhaka's reminder, Ifrit subconsciously looked in the direction Yuhaka was pointing, and then saw the kebabs that were about to burn. Ifrit immediately realized what was going on and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. Fortunately, thanks to Yuhaka's reminder, the kebabs were prevented from burning.

"Phew~ That was close, it almost burned. By the way, Yuuyu, do you guys want some skewers?" Hearing Ifrit's words, Yuhaka said he'd like dozens of skewers. Hearing that Yuhaka wanted so many skewers, Ifrit smiled and said no problem.

After grilling, Ifrit handed the grilled meat to Yuhaka, who then took the meat and gave Ifrit the money. After taking the meat, Yuhaka and her group headed to the next food area.

After eating their way through, Yuhaka and her friends encountered Ji Lin and her group. Ji Lin and her group had also come here after finishing their business. Honjou Nia and her group also arrived. After Ji Lin arrived, she asked Yuhaka and her friends, "Master Yuhaka, who are these two?"

Ji Lin and the others looked at Skadi and Grani with puzzled expressions. They recognized Skadi, but did not recognize Grani.

After Yuhaka introduced herself to Ji Lin and the others, Ji Lin also greeted Skadi and the others, and thanked Skadi for helping Yuhaka in the last incident. Skadi waved her hand in response to Ji Lin's words and said, "No, Yuhaka also helped me a lot."

Grani, who overheard their conversation, also looked puzzled. She clearly didn't know when Skadi and Ehaka had started fighting together. Based on her own experience on Rhodes Island and the battles Skadi had fought, Grani found it hard to imagine anyone being able to match Skadi's extremely destructive slashes.

However, Grani didn't think too much about it. After all, Penguin Logistics was quite famous in Rhodes Island, and given that they often delivered goods outside, it was normal for them to run into Skadi, who was often out working.

Grani didn't think too much about it and went to play with Yuhaka and the others. Then Grani saw a group of non-humans fighting. When they were playing beach volleyball, Grani saw the serves that were like cannonballs. Grani immediately stopped and didn't dare to go closer, for fear that he would die instantly if he got hit by a ball.

When they went to the beach to splash water, Yuhaka and the others splashed water like waves, and Grani was caught off guard and was swept ashore. Grani suddenly felt out of place with the monstrous fighting power of Yuhaka and her group.

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

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

After Eohaka and the others had their fill of fun, Skadi and Grani said goodbye. Skadi left with Grani, who looked completely exhausted. Eohaka and the others then went to rest in Eohaka's imaginary space. After all, it was a perfect place to use as a hotel. After Eohaka expanded the buildings on the main floating island last time, it could accommodate quite a few people, so everyone returned here to rest.

After everyone returned, Nia Honjou, who had bought the game, invited Bronya and Kuro to come and play, to see if the game in this world was fun.

Yulis and Takaka returned to their territory, seemingly planning something. However, Yuhaka didn't care. Back in the Imaginary Space, Yuhaka started cooking a delicious meal for the tired group. During dinner, everyone gathered around the table to discuss the Obsidian Music Festival in Siesta. Although the Obsidian Music Festival hadn't fully started yet, the lively music from the streets hadn't stopped, even when Yuhaka and the others returned to the Imaginary Space.

It's estimated that the musicians won't stop by nightfall. Thinking about this, Yuhaka and the others figured that if they booked a hotel there, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep that night, since the music festival was so noisy that it didn't seem like a place to sleep.

People seemed to really enjoy the atmosphere at the music festival; it was quite lively, and not only lively, but the music itself was also excellent, with various styles of music playing on different streets.

However, Ehaka noticed something amiss: the fire element in the volcano seemed unusually quiet. Ehaka had noticed something different about the volcano before, but he hadn't paid much attention to it. He figured if there was a problem, he could just bend the volcano.

After everyone finished dinner, the others rested in the mansion, while Ehaka returned to Siesta to check on the situation in Texas and the others. After arriving at the tavern booked by Penguin Logistics, Ehaka used the key card given to him by the Emperor to open the door to his hotel room. As soon as he opened the door, Ehaka saw a scene of "corpses strewn everywhere".

"Ooh?!" Seeing this, Ehaka looked shocked, clearly unaware of what was happening inside. Then, after hearing the rumbling sounds from Exusiai and the others' stomachs, Ehaka immediately gave an "OwO?" look.

...After having a big meal at Yohaka...

Yuhaka looked at the group of people wolfing down their food with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding why these fools would let themselves go hungry. Yuhaka placed a plate of grilled ribs in front of everyone, and in an instant, several hands snatched the ribs away, leaving only a few bones on top.

"Phew~ I'm finally alive~" Exusiai breathed a sigh of relief after finishing her dinner, as if she had just starved to death. Croissant next to her rudely let out a burp, while Texas elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue, a completely different image from her previous wolfing down her food.

After finishing his meal, the Emperor, with a toothpick dangling from his mouth, looked at Yuhaka and said, "Welcome back, Yuhaka. How was your time with your family on Siesta?" Hearing the Emperor's words, Yuhaka forgot all about how everyone was wolfing down their food and nodded at the Emperor, saying, "Yeah, it was great! OwO~"

Then, Yuhaka looked at everyone with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why does everyone look like they're starving? Aren't you all going to eat?" Hearing Yuhaka's words, the Penguin Logistics staff looked embarrassed and turned their heads away. They couldn't possibly say that they missed the hotel's dinner time because they didn't see Yuhaka's message in the Penguin Logistics chat group on their phones that he wouldn't be back for dinner that night, could they?

This would be laughable if told out loud, so they changed the subject, saying, "By the way, does Yoyo have any plans to participate in the Obsidian Music Festival this year?" Yohaka shook her head, clearly not planning on participating. Seeing Yohaka's shake of the head, Kong, sitting next to Texas, looked at her with surprise and said, "Eh? Why isn't Yoyo participating in this year's Obsidian Music Festival?"

"Yeah, Yuuyu wants to play with her family OwO~" Yuuhaka replied to Sora's question in the same way. After hearing Yuuhaka's answer, Sora also expressed her understanding. As expected, if it weren't for her idol career, Sora would also want to spend time with Texas and the others.

After hearing Yuhaka's explanation, Exusiai crossed her arms and said, "Well, that's completely understandable."

Just then, Yuhaka suddenly heard a whispered voice in her mind. Hearing this, Yuhaka looked out the window at the beach. Seeing Yuhaka looking towards the sea, everyone present looked at her with puzzled expressions and asked, "What's wrong, Yuhaka?"

In response to everyone's questions, Yuhaka turned to them and said, "Yuyu, I think I heard something talking just now?" Hearing Yuhaka's question, everyone quieted down and listened carefully to their surroundings, but only heard loud music outside. Texas looked at Yuhaka with some confusion and asked, "I didn't hear anything talking. Yuyu, did you hear the music and get it wrong?"

Hearing Texas's words, everyone felt that they made a lot of sense. After all, apart from the loud music, there was no other sound outside. Yuhaka closed his eyes and pricked up his ears. Indeed, all Yuhaka could hear was the music and the sounds of people chatting and cheering on the street. However, the sound of that strange thing did not come from his ears. It was more like the psionic connection of the swarm.

This prompted Yuhaka to tell Texas and the others before running off. Seeing Yuhaka's hurried appearance, the Penguin Logistics staff exchanged puzzled glances. However, they weren't worried about Yuhaka running off alone; their only concern was probably for the others.

The scene shifts to the beach. When Yuhaka arrives at the beach, although there are few people around due to the night, there are still a few scattered people wandering around. As Yuhaka arrives, he notices a familiar figure approaching.

"Yoo, did you find something too?" The person who came over was Skadi, who was carrying a box containing a greatsword. Skadi had arrived here when she sensed something was wrong. She also saw Yohka here and came over to ask Yohka what was going on. In response to Skadi's question, Yohka nodded and said, "There's something wrong here."

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Skadi nodded and said, "Yes, I also sensed something was wrong. Let's go inside and investigate."

Upon hearing Skadi's suggestion, Yuhaka nodded in agreement, and the two then quietly entered the sea to begin investigating the situation.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1891 [The Undercurrents Beneath Siesta]

After Eyjafjalla and Skadi entered Siesta, a saltwater lake known as the sea, they swam towards their destination. Although Skadi's weight was a bit of a problem, she was not sluggish at all in the water; on the contrary, she was as swift as a fish.

As Yhaka approached, the voices in his mind became clearer. They sounded like gibberish, but Yhaka instinctively felt that they were calling to him. However, Yhaka didn't pay too much attention to this, since he had used psionic communication to convey his commands when he was commanding the Primal Zerg in battle.

Ehaka then used psionic energy to convey his thoughts to Skadi, who was standing nearby. Skadi was startled when she heard Ehaka's voice in her mind, but calmed down after realizing it was Ehaka's voice. After all, Ehaka had used psionic energy to contact Skadi in other worlds before, but most of the time they communicated via mobile phone.

Upon hearing Yuhka's psionic communication, Skadi nodded to indicate that she understood. Subsequently, through Yuhka's psionic detection, Yuhka also discovered a large number of sea creatures lurking or dormant underwater. Yuhka informed Skadi of the situation, and Skadi nodded in understanding before launching her attack.

After Yuhaka and the others got close enough, the sleeping sea creatures seemed to sense something and all rushed towards Skadi like a school of fish startled. Skadi was not surprised to see this and took out her two-handed sword from her weapon case, cutting the charging sea creature in half.

At the same time, Ehaka also took out the Baladion Divine Sword and the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword, and with a series of slashes, a large number of sea creatures were cut into pieces. However, for some reason, Ehaka sensed a sense of doubt about those sea creatures, but Ehaka did not pay too much attention to these things.

Although there were quite a few Sea Spirits here, most of them were simple ones. With the combined strength of Yuhaka and Skadi, it wouldn't take them long to deal with them. After dealing with the Sea Spirits, Skadi gestured to Yuhaka to dispose of the corpses. After all, the corpses of Sea Spirits were somewhat contaminated, and if someone accidentally ate them, it could lead to infection. Therefore, such cleaning work required specialized personnel or tools for disposal.

However, Skadi is currently unable to locate the relevant personnel. Fortunately, Ehaka is here, which has given Skadi a slight sense of relief. Ehaka is using her Imaginary Teleportation ability to send these Sealings to the Spiral Essence Cult, where they will likely be very interested in this research material.

After dealing with the corpses of the Sea Spirits, Yuhka and Skadi returned to the shore. Yuhka, like a dog, shook himself off and splashed water on Skadi, feeling much better. Skadi, seemingly unconcerned, thanked Yuhka, saying, "Thank you so much, Yuhka. Without your help, those Sea Spirits might have caused considerable casualties in this city, and without you handling their corpses, it might have led to some kind of pollution incident."
