Arknights' Lock of Heaven

"Finally, I hope you all have a great time!"

"As expected of Siesta, a dedicated tourist resort city, the atmosphere is really high."

Amiya exclaimed in admiration as she made her way to her destination.

“Indeed,” the doctor nodded in agreement.

"Before we came here, we didn't expect it to be so special. We thought it was just an ordinary seaside town."

"Thanks to Dr. Kal'tsit who recommended this place to us."

"Ha," the Doctor chuckled and scoffed, "Giving so many operators a vacation just to get rid of me, tsk tsk tsk."

"Doctor, Dr. Kal'tsit isn't..."

Upon hearing this, Amiya tried to explain, but the Doctor waved his hand.

"I know, I know, I was just venting."

As she spoke, she reminisced about her miserable life on Rhodes Island after leaving the Grand Knights' territory.

Everyone's busy.

The engineering department is busy with the magic weapon project, while the medical department is worried about the inhibitors.

Who among them doesn't have their feet constantly on the ground every day?

Ironically, the PhD student has a lot of free time. After all, she has amnesia and has forgotten many common-sense things. Although she still has some of her past instincts, don't expect her to give any reliable advice in her professional field.

A lack of common sense is already a fatal blow.

While many busy people know it's not her fault, it's still frustrating to have someone calmly watching you frantically busy while you're constantly on the go...

Amiya's expression was somewhat strange, after all, she was also a witness and knew the ins and outs.

To be honest, it's not really their fault.

How should we evaluate the doctor's behavior...?

Serves him right, that's fair; being a jerk isn't so bad either.

Everyone else is so busy, and you, this idle person, instead of hiding away and slacking off, are leisurely strolling around with a cup of tea as if you're inspecting work...

Others might respect her status as a doctor and not say much, but Kal'tsit and Xia Yu are the only ones who won't say much.

The former would make sarcastic remarks every time he saw a PhD student like that, while the latter was more direct, grabbing her by the back of the neck and throwing her out the door.

The scene was absolutely delightful!

Amiya felt a little happy thinking about this.

Although what the doctor did sounds despicable, it was actually quite stress-relieving to watch him struggle while being thrown out by Xia Yu with a blank expression.

"Ah, Doctor, look over there, someone is playing the piano outdoors."

Amiya didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only point to the performance on the side to change the subject.

"There's someone playing guitar over there, and a violin too! Wow, there are dancers too..."

"It reminds me of the days when I practiced playing every day. The atmosphere on the whole street is completely different from the beach just now."

"It's the first time I've met so many people who love to play music. It really makes me want to join them."

Humans are, after all, social animals.

"Speaking of which, I've never seen you play the violin, Amiya," the Doctor said, sounding somewhat intrigued.

Did you bring your violin?

"Oh no, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't mean to say I wanted to join them!"

Amiya lowered her head in embarrassment upon hearing this.

"I probably need to practice again to fully recover to my previous level."

“Ah, that’s… Kong,” Amiya spotted a familiar rabbit dressed as a wolf.

"Ah, Doctor, Amiya, good morning! I didn't expect you to be on Second Avenue too!"

When Kong saw them, although he seemed a little dejected, he still greeted them.

“Good morning. I didn’t expect Sora to like jazz music too,” Amiya said with a puzzled look. “I thought you would prefer urban music.”

"When it comes to music, I'm an expert in every genre!"

At this point, Kong proudly puffed out his chest.

"Actually, I wanted to go see other places, but last night I was so disturbed by the music near the hotel that I couldn't fall asleep even with the windows closed and earplugs in."

She sighed, "It's nice to hear music during the day, but it's a bit unbearable when it keeps going on and on at night."

"After all, it's during a music festival, so this is proof of the lively atmosphere."

Amiya offered her a word of comfort.

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. By the way, many of us have never seen the sea."

Sora recounted some amusing events from this morning, saying, "For example, early this morning, Ifrit shouted 'Here comes the sea!' and rushed out again. I don't know where she's gone now."

“Haha, indeed,” Amiya smiled knowingly upon hearing this, “although, strictly speaking, this sea is actually just a huge lake…”

"Anywhere there's water and a beach, that's the sea~" Kong waved his hand dismissively. "Let me rest here for a bit this morning. Even if a volcano erupts from noon to night, it won't stop me from having as much fun as I want!"

“For Kong, this place is like heaven,” Amiya said with a smile.

"Of course, even the boss came."

“By the way, speaking of the sea,” Sora said, glancing around before leaning close to Amiya’s ear, “I saw the advisor taking two very pretty girls out this morning.”

"Amiya, is Dr. Kal'tsit alright?"

“No, Sora, how can you believe in this stuff?” Amiya said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

The gossip about Xia Yu and Kal'tsit is from some ancient almanac.

Now everyone's into Xia Yu, Doctor X, and Kal'tsit.

It's a love triangle.

After all, the photo of him expressionlessly grabbing the doctor by the neck had already been leaked.

The doctor is the same; once is enough, but she keeps doing this every day, which inevitably makes people wonder.

“It’s all rumors,” Amiya said seriously. “You’d better not believe them!”

Where is the male protagonist of our rumor at this time?

He was standing beside Skadi, lost in thought as he looked at the red and white orca doll in her line of sight.

281 Originium Arts? I don't know how.

First, just like Kong's reason, the research team, who were originally scheduled to set off this morning, were all demoralized by the excitement of the Obsidian Music Festival.

The plan was also forced to be postponed until the afternoon.

So Xia Yu finally had some time to go out and have some fun.

She happened to run into Skadi and Surtr following behind her as she went out.

These two are quite a perfect match. Skadi is rather quiet and reserved in front of people she doesn't know well.

Surtr wasn't a talkative person, and neither of them was unaware of how to get along with others.

It's just that everyone has their own concerns.

Therefore, the two got along quite harmoniously.

Just like when Surtr sees ice cream for sale, Skadi will stop and buy one with Surtr to try it out.

Skadi was also somewhat tempted when she saw the red and white orca doll in front of her.

However, things are a bit difficult.

It wasn't that they were short of money; quite the opposite, none of these three were short of money.

Surtr has never been one to care about luxury; she's hardly ever used Rhodes Island's allowance, and Skadi is even less likely to.

As a renowned bounty hunter, she certainly wasn't short of money.

As for Xia Yu... there's no need to even mention it.

But this doll in front of me isn't something that can be bought with money.

These are the prizes for the event.

Players are required to use Originium Arts to power a specially made gun to shoot down a sufficient number of flying discs.

Each point counts as one point, and once you accumulate fifteen points, you can exchange them for the orca plush toy.

After all, it's not the most valuable prize.

But Skadi was helpless in this situation.

If the conditions were changed to wiping out an entire squad of Sarkaz mercenaries, hunting powerful beasts, or a frontal assault, she wouldn't even bat an eye.

But it happens to be Originium Arts.
