Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

It is worth mentioning that, because of the gradual mastery of his own abilities, the aura from Hong’s body will no longer cause discomfort to Rupert unless it is released intentionally.

So Red, who looks well-behaved and is very good at combing its tail and has a unique massage technique, quickly won the love of a group of Rupert and Wolper patients who were unable to comb their hair because of inconvenience.

"Miss Red, it seems you still like touching her tail, right?" Miss Rupert began to feel bored after a while and started to make small talk.

"I heard from a doctor last time that Miss Hong touched someone, um, Provence, right?"

"Yeah." Red nodded repeatedly with an innocent look in his eyes and answered without hesitation, "Red likes to touch tails, especially Rupert's tail."

"Hey, Miss Hong, if you really like touching tails." The patient next to him also joined the discussion, "Miss Hong, you can try to open a massage parlor, or a tail care parlor or something like that."

"A massage parlor? A tail maintenance parlor?" Hong tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What is that?"

"Hey, Miss Hong, haven't you been there?" Miss Rupert was a little surprised, and her eyes swept over Hong's tail that was obviously reflecting under the light, "Wow, if Miss Hong hasn't been there, then you must have taken really good care of yourself. I'm suddenly a little envious."

"Wow." Hong thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Then what are those two things?"

"Well, a massage parlor provides massages to people who pay." The patient thought for a moment and explained in the simplest way, "A tail maintenance parlor uses professional maintenance methods to help races that don't know how to maintain their tails."

"Yeah, if Miss Hong opens a massage parlor, I will definitely go to support her." Miss Rupert nodded and glanced at Hong's tail with some envy, "After all, you can tell from Miss Hong's tail."

"Hmm..." Hong thought for a moment and then asked, "So, if I open this beauty salon, I can touch other people's tails legally?"

Chapter 175: If You're Happy

"Well, is this the point?" Miss Rupert narrowed her eyes and looked at Hong in front of her, "Miss Hong seems to be a little too purposeful~"

"Is it okay? Is it okay?" Hong didn't care about Miss Rupert's words, with a slight gleam in her eyes.

"Hey..." Rupert waved his hand, "What we said is indeed true. We said it's maintenance, so it must be maintained by touching the tail."

"But if someone goes to a beauty salon just to touch his tail, are there really people like that?"

Miss Rupert's voice became increasingly quiet as she finished her last words, because she had noticed that the red eyes next to her were getting brighter and brighter as she spoke.

"Hmm..." Miss Rupert looked at Hong, thought about it and decided to ignore it. At least she still had some sense of propriety, and her massage techniques were indeed pretty good.

Even if someone has a little hobby of touching the tail, it shouldn’t be a big problem, right?

"Okay~" After hearing the good news, Hong felt extremely good and even hummed an unknown tune.

"Oh." Miss Rupert nodded, stretched out her bandaged hand, gently touched her tail with her forearm, and then nodded.

"Thank you, Miss Hong~"

"I am also very grateful that you told me such a good idea." A smile appeared on Hong's lips. Now she began to study how to open a tail maintenance shop.

Of course, if I want to open a museum, I still have to convince my mother first.

--------------

"Hong!" Xiyue pushed open the door of the ward and just called out Hong's name. Then, her eyes focused and she casually grabbed Hong, who was flying towards her, into her arms.

"What's wrong?" Xiyue rubbed Hong's head, then gently put Hong down and looked at Hong's face, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Yeah." Hong nodded, "Well, mom, I want to open a Lupo Tail Care Shop."

"Nursing care shop? Rupert's tail." Xiyue was stunned for a moment when she heard it, then looked up and glanced around the room, looking at Miss Rupert who had turned her face away.

After confirming who came up with the idea, Xiyue lowered her head and looked at Hong, whose eyes seemed to be flashing with excitement, and then rubbed Hong's head hard.

"Hong~" Xiyue rubbed Hong's head with a helpless smile on her face, "Are you going to open a beauty salon, or are you trying to find a reasonable reason to touch someone's tail?"

"Woo woo woo~" Hong did not resist at all. She shook her head along with Xiyue's movements. "Mom knows everything, so there's no need to ask~"

"That's because I know." Xiyue let go of her hand, but the helpless expression on her face remained. "If you go with this idea, I won't agree."

"I know what mom wants to say." Hong looked at Qiyue with a serious expression on her face, "I will definitely maintain my health with an attitude of being responsible for everyone."

"Touching the tail is just a side job when completing maintenance. If there is no way to do it, I--"

Hong suddenly stopped talking as if she was thinking about how to make a suitable oath to complement her vow.

"That's all, as long as you can do this." Xiyue touched Hong's head, "As long as you are happy, of course, you still have to be serious."

"Yes!" Hong nodded immediately. With her mother's consent, the remaining problems would be easily solved.

"But I still have a small condition." Xiyue, who had split into several clones, suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Hong who was following behind him, "I'll call Texas over later and let Texas evaluate your skills."

"After all, whether a beauty salon can attract customers still depends on your skills. If Texas agrees, I will talk to Kal'tsit in a couple of days."

"Okay~" Hong nodded. This matter is very simple, but she thought of another question, "But do I need to ask Dr. Kal'tsit about opening a store?"

"Well, maybe we can ask the doctor?" Xiyue touched her chin. She didn't quite understand the process in this regard. "But Hong, what you said makes sense. We really don't need to ask Kal'tsit about this matter."

"Yeah." Hong nodded. As long as she could pass the test of sister Texas tonight, it would be fine.

Although it is a test, it is also very simple for Hong. After such a long time together, Hong already knows what to do.

——————Rhode Island·Accommodation Area·Yuzuki and Hong's Room——————

"Hmm?" Xiyue smelled something when she opened the door. She looked into the kitchen and found Angelus busy in the kitchen. "Angelus?"

"Hmm?" Angel turned around and looked at Xiyue and Hong who had just come in. "Good evening, welcome back~"

"What are you doing?" Xiyue took Hong into the room, "Didn't you have enough dinner?"

"No, no." Angelus shook his head, "I just asked a friend for help and found a new way to make apple pie. I want to try it out."

"Is that so." Xiyue nodded, "Then I'll look forward to it. But then again, isn't Texas coming over so soon?"

"As for Texas~" Angel of Death said with a smirk in her tone, "It may take a while for her to finish her words. After all, she is being pestered by someone right now~"

"Being harassed by someone?" Xiyue just had doubts arose, and she looked behind her, because Xiyue had already sensed the breath of Texas and another breath following Texas.

"Good evening." Xiyue walked out of the room and looked at Texas, who looked unhappy in the distance, and Lappland, who looked smiling next to him.

"Yeah." Texas looked at Xiyue, and the unhappiness on his face finally dissipated, "Good evening."

"Hey, haven't seen you for a while~" Lappland beside her also waved her hand and greeted Xiyue, "Miss Xiyue's reputation is getting bigger and bigger."

"If you have time, you can also come to the medical department for a physical examination." Xiyue smiled, "Your body also needs to be taken care of, doesn't it?"

"But it seems that you listened to the doctor's advice a little bit." Xiyue glanced up and down at Lappland's body, "It seems that you are feeling better."

Because Xiyue did not receive Lapland's physical examination, and had not seen Lapland when she was in the medical department, Xiyue's impression of Lapland's physical condition still remained at the last time at Longmen.

However, compared to the last time they met, Lappland's body was taken care of as much as possible by Rhodes Island, even though Lappland did not like Rhodes Island's care.

However, with Rhodes Island's meticulous care and the help of mineralogy blockers, Lappland's physical condition did improve.

"Well." Lappland shrugged. "That's all. It just means I can live a few more days."

"What you said..." Xiyue shook her head helplessly, "I really don't know how to respond to you."

"If you don't take good care of your body, I will find a time to take you to the treatment room." Xiyue looked at Lappland and could only say this in the end.

After all, Lappland's situation is quite complicated. The scars on his body are secondary. The bigger problem is that Lappland himself doesn't care much about his own condition.

For a doctor, there is no patient more difficult to deal with than Laplander.

Even if you ask the other person to take good care of himself and prescribe a series of conditioning methods for him, he may still follow them casually without caring.

"But then again." Xiyue looked at Lappland and then at Texas, "Texas, why did you bring Lappland here as well?"

"She happened to be there when you were on the phone." Texas had a Pocky in his mouth, his face full of disgust for Lapland.

"As for what happened next," Texas looked at Lappland and continued, "She found it very interesting, so she followed along. There was no point in saying anything."

"Hehe~" Lapland seemed quite satisfied with the impatient expression on Texas' face, and then looked at Xiyue, "How can one person give the most objective evaluation? So I came here to join in the fun."

"I think Miss Xiyue, you don't mind having one more person, right?"

"I don't mind." Xiyue shrugged, "I think Hong will be happier that she has one more tail to touch tonight."

"So I don't have any other opinions. If you feel like coming, you can join in the fun."

"Hehe." Laplande made a provocative sound and looked at Texas beside him, "Look, I've already said that Xiyue will agree."

"Ugh……"

"Ah, come here, touch my head, don't be angry~" Xiyue stretched out her hand and wanted to touch Texas' head, but Texas took a step back and dodged it. Xiyue, who didn't touch Texas' head, withdrew her hand awkwardly.

"Ahem." Xiyue coughed awkwardly twice and walked into the room. "Okay, don't stand in the corridor. It's not good to be seen by others."

--------------

"Hmm~" Lapland lay on the sofa, suppressing the sound of comfort he wanted to make. "I didn't expect Miss Hong to have such a skill. Did Miss Xiyue teach her?"

"I didn't teach her this." Xiyue sat aside, drinking coffee and watching every move here, "She gained experience by trial and error on her own."

"Oh~" Laplande said in a long tone, looking at Texas beside him, "So, Texas, have you gotten used to it?"

"No." Texas immediately shook his head and refused to admit it. Although Texas did sell his tail in order to build a good relationship with Red in the past few days, he would never admit it in front of Lapland.

"Really?" Lappland smiled, obviously not believing it. "Well, if it's this kind of skill, I think it shouldn't be a problem for Miss Hong to open a beauty salon."

"If there is any shortcoming, it is that..." Lappland turned to look at Red who was rubbing her tail, "Miss Red seems to have too many little movements."

"After all." Xiyue looked at Hong while holding a coffee cup, "Hong's purpose in opening a tail care shop was to find an opportunity to touch other people's tails legally and reasonably."

"Oh, so that's your intention?" Lappland smiled and wagged his tail. "But it shouldn't be a big problem. I don't think many people would care about such a small detail."

"Yeah." Hong nodded happily. She had already gotten one person's consent. Now the only thing left was Texas. And Hong already knew how Texas was going to help her rub her tail.

"It's my turn next, right?" Texas looked over with a red look in his eyes. After a glance, Lappland, who seemed satisfied, stood up and walked over.

"Do you want to continue, Lappland?" Texas looked at Lappland who didn't seem to want to get up and asked, "It seems like you are still not satisfied?"

"Indeed, there is a little bit of that~" Lappland stood up, "But since I've already made the evaluation, that's enough."

"Oh, by the way." Lapland stood up, stretched, and looked at Xiyue beside him, "Miss Xiyue, give me a cup of coffee."

"Okay." Xiyue nodded, took a cup from the side, poured coffee for Lapland, and then handed the cup to him.

"Oh, it looks very interesting~" The Angel of Power beside him seemed to have finally finished his work in the kitchen and came out, "Xiyue, give me a cup of coffee too."

"Okay." Xiyue also poured a cup of coffee for Angel. "How is it? Have you finished your apple pie?"

"That's half a failure." Angel shook his head helplessly, "The taste is weird, um, maybe I didn't get the ratio right."

"But I've already used up all the materials, so there's nothing I can do."

"Didn't you find out the exact ratio?" Xiyue looked at the Angel with some curiosity. "Logically speaking, desserts like this shouldn't taste bad if they're made according to the recipe, right?"

"Hey!" Angel of Exorcism waved his hand. "I can't say that for sure. Maybe I made a mistake. I'll ask again tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Xiyue touched her chin and guessed, "You didn't just ask about the recipe, did you? Didn't you ask about the method?"

"Ah, I really can't hide it from you." Angel touched his head, a little embarrassed, "Well, it's true that I only asked for the recipe, I didn't ask for the specific method."

"After all, I think I can make good apple pie. But it looks like it still requires special methods, otherwise it will taste weird."

"After all, you're always like this." Texas, who was having his tail rubbed by Red, rolled his eyes at Exiah. "For something, always start when I think I've learned it, and stop when I think I have a great advantage."

"Ahem." The Archangel turned his head away. "No way. I'm really good at making apple pie. It's just that I made a small mistake today."

"Heh." Texas rolled her eyes again. As a close friend of many years, how could she not know this guy? "Don't you often have such a blunder?"

Chapter 176: The Ocean’s “Answer”

——————Dr. Rhode Island's Office——————

"Hmm..." The doctor yawned, and the dark circles under her eyes showed that she seemed to have stayed up for a long time last night. "Oh, if I had known, I wouldn't have played with Shuiyue and the others for so long last night."

"Ami..." The doctor wanted to ask Amiya to make a cup of coffee like before, but he remembered that Amiya was not on duty today, and the person on duty would not come so soon.

"Amiya hasn't even gotten up yet." The doctor shook his head, feeling a little bit unworthy for himself to be so punctual for work.

Then the doctor picked up the shift schedule beside him: "Today's shift is, ah Cross?!"

"Well, let's not count on it, right?" The Doctor stood up. If Cross hadn't come by now, she might have been slacking off somewhere or had forgotten about it.

Don't count on it. It would be faster to make yourself a cup of coffee now.

"I remember..." The doctor walked to the counter and started rummaging around. If she remembered correctly, Amiya usually took out the coffee cans here.

"Got it~" The doctor found the coffee can in the first drawer, opened it, and looked at the thin layer of coffee powder left inside. "Ah, this is all that's left?"

The doctor looked at the drawer again and found that this seemed to be the last can. It seemed that he had finished the coffee after drinking it for such a long time.

"It seems like I have to find some time to see if I can get two more cans from Xiyue." The doctor scraped off the last bit of coffee powder with a spoon and knocked on the bottom of the can.

"Poor me, I can only use this little bit now~" The doctor hummed an unknown tune while standing next to the coffee machine, waiting.

As for why she didn't go and continue her official duties at the same time, well, the doctor could only say that she wanted to be lazy for a while.

While the doctor was still standing next to the coffee machine waiting, there were suddenly several knocks on the door. The doctor turned his head, looked at the door and shouted casually: "Come in!"
