Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Looking around at the children who were all around him, it was truly embarrassing.

A moment later.

"Quick, quick, go dig some more sand, let's build a smaller landship! Jiejie, be careful, if you knock this place down, your training load will double when you get back."

“I’ll do this. You guys are too clumsy for this kind of work! What? I can’t do it? I can even hold a scalpel, how could I not be able to carve a Rhodes Island emblem?”

"Brothers, give it your all! Don't let those kids laugh at us, they're practically building a castle! Shh, how about one of you casts a spell to knock that thing down?"

Stop piling them up, stop piling them up, so many people are watching.

Although I've called you kids of the beach, you don't have to be like this! You guys are the biggest sand sculptures on this beach! What if the people from Lungmen find out that the Action Department is being maintained by this group of people? Will they just cancel the cooperation agreement?

Fortunately, the land-based ships were piled up like a small hill, and the markings that MEIKO carved were so ugly that they were unrecognizable.

Even if Lungmen didn't know, there were other people from other departments in Siesta who were on vacation. If word got out, their logistics and medical colleagues would probably laugh for years.

Qin Duanyu sighed helplessly, hid in a sunbathing spot nearby, trying to distance herself from these scoundrels, and frantically prayed that she wouldn't be recognized by others.

"Heh, is this all the elites in the Operations Department are like? Provence, I'm starting to despair about Rhodes Island's future." A mocking voice came from not far away; it was Skyfire, now wearing a swimsuit and sunglasses.

“Well, maybe this is just men’s entertainment,” Luper, the girl with long purple hair next to her, chimed in, half of her body buried in the sand, with a contented expression on her face.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Miss Tianhuo, Miss Provence." Qin Duanyu sighed inwardly, "What I feared has come true," and awkwardly greeted the two girls.

Compared to Skyfire, who couldn't control his power, Provence, with his experienced operator skills, was much more reliable. Unfortunately, the Cataclysmic Messengers belonged to the Research Department and were not under the jurisdiction of his Operations Department.

As soon as she raised her hand, Tianhuo's expression changed, and she covered her chest with both hands. It seemed that the meeting on the ship had left an unforgettable impression on her.

"Doctor, why don't I see any other young ladies?" Provence asked with a smile.

"I made plans to have lunch with them, they should be on their way," Qin Duanyu said helplessly, praying that the girls would arrive soon so he could get rid of these idiots.

"It's getting a bit hot in the sun, I'm going for a swim! Oh, by the way, we're going to the volcano the day after tomorrow, remember to prepare your equipment." Tianhu shook his head, clearly not wanting to talk to Couliu Mang any longer.

Provence shook off the sand and prepared to chat with Qin Duanyu for a while, so that the two of them wouldn't be bored sitting there like idiots.

"What a beautiful tail, so glossy and smooth, but it looks a bit messy. I recommend using conditioner made in Letania, which can effectively improve this situation," Qin Duanyu said excitedly as soon as she saw Provence's big tail.

"Doctor, do you also know about tail care?" Upon hearing this, Provence's eyes immediately lit up, as if he had found a kindred spirit.

"I know a little bit. I think you're bigger than the average Lupo, so you should use extra-large breed conditioner. Judging from your appearance, you usually use the medium breed, right? Also, don't use a small hairdryer after a bath; a blower is better..." Qin Duanyu said modestly, and then discussed hair care methods with her.

"I've learned something new. So that's how it's maintained!" Provence's eyes sparkled with admiration as it held out its tail to him. "As a token of my gratitude for imparting knowledge, would you like to touch it, Doctor?"

"Is it okay?" Qin Duanyu asked excitedly. This was definitely the most beautiful tail he had ever seen.

"Go ahead and touch it; no one else has a tail like this!"

……

At the street corner outside the beach.

"Hmph, as expected of a destined enemy. I never thought I'd run into you at a beauty salon. But it seems like I have a better chance of winning." Lappland swished her gleaming tail and said to Texas, who was still chewing on a biscuit.

Yesterday she mentioned that she scratched the doctor awake with her tail, causing tons of damage to Lappland. In order to better suppress her, Lappland went to the most expensive beauty salon in Siesta for a full Lupo treatment.

Hmph, although all the talents I can come up with are making mille-feuille, the professor likes cute tails, which happens to be a racial talent of the Lupo race. There's no reason for me to be outdone by those guys whose tails just don't feel good to the touch.

Unexpectedly, Texas had the same idea, and the two met while getting their tails styled with hair oil.

"White is too dazzling," Texas said casually.

"The Doctor has groomed the tails of many operators, but for the Lupo race, he has only ever groomed mine..." Lappland was stunned before she could finish her sentence.

Texas followed the gaze and dropped the POCKY she was holding onto the ground.

Not far away, Qin Duanyu was lying next to a girl with purple hair, gently stroking an exaggeratedly large tail.

How could you lose to someone else like that?

That's all for today, still owes two more chapters.

Chapter 14, Section 121: Three Wolves and a Sheep

It didn't rain, but the atmosphere on the beach was still not very harmonious.

Three Lupo girls sat around Qin Duanyu, chatting casually.

"So Miss Provence is a messenger of natural disasters. It must be very hard living in the wild all year round." After confirming that Qin Duanyu was just touching her tail and that the cute girl in front of her was not a competitor, Lappland smiled and chatted with Provence.

“Well, who can argue with that? We didn’t just come to Siesta for fun; we’re going to the volcano in a few days to gather data.” Provence sighed, looking at the dormant volcano in the distance. “But I’m already very happy to be able to rest like this.”

"Looking at it this way, although both are called messengers, Miss Provence is far superior to some of those who skip work," Lappland said with a smirk, implying something.

Sure enough, all that buildup was just to target me!

Texas frowned and explained seriously, "The boss has A-Neng and the others, which is enough. Besides, it's almost the end of the month. If I don't go, the two of them can get more money."

Yes, there were sufficient and logical reasons, and they were absolutely not threatened with the end of the month's aid.

"And then you went to the beauty salon for treatments? I didn't expect your life to have become so refined after all these years," Lappland said with a forced smile. "Sigh, back when the Doctor was grooming my tail, he said I didn't know how to take care of myself."

“When I met Miss Lappland before, I thought your tail was very well maintained. I didn’t expect it was the Doctor who took care of it. He is indeed very knowledgeable in this area, and his technique for touching tails is also excellent.” Provence immediately chimed in upon hearing this.

Am I the only Luper here who hasn't had his tail brushed by the doctor? Listening to the other two dogs talking about their experiences of having their tails brushed, Texas chewed up the biscuit in her mouth, her ears drooping.

Just as she was about to make an excuse that her tail was a little itchy and ask Qin Duanyu to help her take care of it, a girl wearing a children's swimsuit walked over.

"Miss Provence, the water park is so much fun!" She greeted Provence first, and when she saw Qin Duanyu, she bowed excitedly, "Oh, it's you, senior, good morning, senior."

"Oh, Eyjafjalla's here too." Qin Duanyu waved to her, her voice suddenly rising several notches.

When it comes to conducting research on volcanoes, this little sheep who only calls him Senbei is indispensable. Despite her young age, the girl has already made her name in some of the most prestigious universities in Letania and is a well-known expert in natural disaster research.

"Thanks to the benefits my seniors secured, I had the chance to relax a bit. It's a pity I couldn't really enjoy the musical performances," Little Sheep said with a hint of regret, lowering his head.

"It's okay, there's more entertainment to experience in Siesta than just concerts." Qin Duanyu patted Eyjafjalla's head and said with concern, "Look, it's almost lunchtime now, how about we have a barbecue by the sea? There are stalls over there that rent out grills."

"Hmm, senior, I'm quite skilled at roasting grass. Come and try my skills!" As expected, little girls are easy to coax. Eyjafjalla smiled as soon as she heard this and said happily.

……

After renting the equipment and buying the ingredients, he briefly told ACE and the others, but these silly guys didn't seem to be in the mood to eat at all. They just gave a few casual replies and then fell silent.

But it's all good. Having a BBQ with a bunch of pretty girls is much better than having rough guys. I can just leave them some leftovers.

Tianhuo initially wanted to refuse, but after smelling the aroma of grilled fish, its tail began to wag involuntarily. In the end, it accepted the invitation, citing "occasionally experiencing life" as its reason.

Qin Duanyu originally wanted to show off his barbecue skills, but after burning a few skewers, the girls shooed him to sit down and drool over the smell of the food.

Because of their work, the three dogs often need to camp outdoors, which naturally requires them to cook over a fire. Eyjafjalla and Skyfire's Originium Arts are both related to fire, so they are quite adept at handling small amounts of charcoal.

Thinking about it this way, he felt even more useless.

"Doctor, try my grilled squid." Lappland finished first and handed him a skewer of squid sprinkled with cumin and chili, presenting it like a treasure.

The tender, firm squid meat, paired with bright red chili powder and the enticing aroma of cumin, made Qin Duanyu quickly take a bite. The spiciness and the cooking time were just right for his taste.

"I'll give you 82 points, and the remaining 18 points will be given in the form of three 6s, so you won't get too proud."

"Do you like it? Then I'll grill you a few more skewers, so you won't have to eat all that weird stuff."

"You should eat less of this kind of food, Doctor. Squid has too much cholesterol, which is bad for your health," Texas said calmly, shaking her head.

What? The doctor's shorts are too high?

The intermittent sounds made Eyjafjalla's eyes widen. She looked at Qin Duanyu with a puzzled expression. The clothes fit her perfectly, and there was nothing wrong with them. Besides, the way the clothes were worn didn't seem to have anything to do with health.

"What else can you eat at the beach if not seafood? Of course, chewy squid is the best choice!"

"I specifically bought Boston lobster; it's much better than grilled squid in both taste and nutrition!"

What? A doctor stewed lobster?

Watching the two Rupo girls arguing back and forth, Eyjafjalla suddenly felt a sense of fear.

If they even want to eat the Doctor, then wouldn't I, a mere Caprini, be in even greater danger? In those ancient legends, there are records of the Lupo tribe hunting the Caprini tribe.

"You two should be a little kinder. Judging from Eyjafjalla's appearance, she may have misunderstood something." Looking at the little sheep trembling, Qin Duanyu said with some concern, "Although there are no obvious crystals on her body, her auditory nerve system is compressed, making it easy for her to misunderstand others."

“Yes, this child is good in every way, except that she often can’t tell what others are saying.” Provence nodded, also thinking of the funny things that happened when he worked with Eyjafjalla.

Is her hearing not good? I used to think it was cute when she tilted her head to listen to people, but I never knew there was such a hidden reason. The two Rupo stopped arguing, and their gazes towards the lamb softened.

Oh no, mutton really does taste better. They're all looking at me, and their eyes have changed.

“Miss Eyjafjalla, this apple tastes good, would you like to try some?” Texas tried to make her tone friendly as she held up a green apple and walked towards her.

Eyjafjallajökull tastes good, may I try some?

It tastes good, I'll try it!

As Texas walked over with an apple in her hand, the little lamb could already imagine its mouth being stuffed with the apple, its limbs being tied up, and being placed on the grill.

She was filled with regret. Why didn't she bring her staff when she went out to play? Isn't that the same common sense as wearing a helmet when fishing?

The joke about wearing a helmet while fishing comes from a certain Hong Kong drama.

Chapter 15, Section 122: Friend, have you heard of Rhodes Island?

Although the beach barbecue was a bit noisy because of Eyjafjalla's misunderstanding, having fun should be lively, and Qin Duanyu was happy to enjoy the food while watching the girls.

But when ACE and the others had finished playing, Qin Duanyu, whose stomach was already full of food, almost cried as she stuffed the uneaten food into their arms.

Whether it's grilled lobster from Texas or grilled squid from Lappland, the food tastes great. However, the two girls' competitive spirit makes it impossible for them to eat two portions of food at once. Even the best food becomes torture.

"I'm a little full, how about we go for a walk?" Qin Duanyu said to the girls who had finished eating, her stomach churning as she watched ACE and the others wolf down their food.

As the saying goes, when people are well-fed and warm, they think of shopping. After playing for a long time, the girls decided to go shopping. Qin Duanyu followed them along the way, but was stopped by a fair arm.

Looking up, I saw the words "Women's Underwear Specialty Store" written in large characters on the sign at the entrance.

"One of my spare underwear sets is worn out, I need to go buy a new one." Tianhu rolled his eyes as he tried to stop him, and said irritably, "You don't want to come in and take a look at a place like this, do you?"

He wanted to, but the girls passing by all looked at him with disdain. Even though he was wearing a hood to cover his face, he still didn't have the nerve to go in.

Awkwardly indicating that he would wait outside, Qin Duanyu found a decent-looking coffee shop. Seeing that couples occupied most of the seats, he couldn't help but maliciously want to randomly pick a lucky couple and sit next to them as a third wheel.

Unfortunately, the evil plan was not carried out in time. The waiter led him to the only empty table, where he casually ordered a coffee and picked up a comic book to pass the time.
