Poseidon in Arknights

Intrigued by the two, Yuuki asked, "What kind of project is it? Is there some kind of event?"

“Mm-hmm.” Amiya nodded. “Some operators submitted a proposal to us, saying they want to hold a New Year’s Eve party on Rhodes Island to motivate everyone.”

"However, because we have always had limited funds, we have not been keen on organizing this type of activity, so it has been put on hold."

“But now,” Amiya said, looking at the contract on the table, “with this advance payment, we can free up a little money to have a simple event.”

Looking at Amiya, Yuuki suddenly remembered a question: "Are the raw materials okay?"

“It’s alright.” Amiya shook her head. “We have enough reserves to buy enough raw materials for production.”

"Then do as you please." Xi Yue patted the Doctor next to her, who was starting to get excited. She had a feeling that after the New Year's Eve party, the Doctor would most likely be forced to go back to work.

"By the way, how many more days until we reach Longmen?"

—————An Unknown Wilderness—————

At this moment, this wilderness is being ravaged by a sudden storm.

Black rocks carried by the storm kept hitting the ground, leaving small craters, only to be blown away by the storm again and sent further away.

The black stones that kept crashing into the earth in the wind all indicated that this storm was the most hated natural disaster for the wilderness travelers—a sudden Originium storm.

Below a cliff, an off-road van was using the rocks beside it to avoid a large number of rocks blown by the wind.

—————Inside the vehicle—————

"What bad luck." Muirsay leaned against the side of the carriage and listened intently to the constant sound of gravel breaking. "Why did this have to happen at a time like this?"

"I want to see Him as soon as possible." Muirsey's face showed a hint of helplessness. "Well, there's nothing we can do about it now."

"We can only hope this storm will stop soon."

Muirsey's face was full of helplessness, but there was nothing he could do. After all, this was entirely a matter of luck, but today seemed to be Muirsey's unlucky day.

However, from a certain perspective, this Originium storm is also a good thing.

At least it told Muirsay something, something Muirsay had never discovered before.

It's important to know that the Water Elf race is extremely ill-suited to primitive environments, even though this vehicle has been specially modified to minimize the impact of external Originium radiation on Muerseth's body.

However, even the strongest defenses have their limits, and it is clear that the natural disaster has exceeded the limits of the vehicle's defensive design.

Normally, if Muirsays were in this situation, she would have to wrap herself in layers of protective clothing, like a nesting doll.

To this end, Murses prepared a series of protective suits that were getting bigger and heavier. When she was wearing the later ones, Murses even had to summon her water clones to help her put on the protective suits.

Because at that time, she would be completely immobilized by the thick protective suit she was wearing. After putting it on, Muels could only lie down and wait quietly for the natural disaster outside to subside.

At this moment, the protective suits were hanging quietly on the wall in front of Muelses, and Muelses was only wearing the protective suit she usually wore.

"It seems that the benefits I received from that energy shock weren't just related to my water clones." Muirsey raised her hand, a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Normally, if he were to stay in the car like this, even with the vehicle's protection, Muirsay's condition probably wouldn't be much better.

At this moment, Muirsey sat quietly in her seat, wearing her usual protective suit. Although she could still feel some discomfort, for Muirsey, this was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying improvement.

Muerseth felt his physique had been improved with perfect clarity, and he was very aware of his Originium resistance.

In the past, in this situation, there would have been no other possibility than death or collapsing to the ground near death.

But now Murces is sitting here quietly, scrolling through his phone with ease, instead of lying on the ground like before, waiting for the natural disaster to end.

“This is truly an unexpected gain.” Muirsain lowered his hand, his eyes filled with surprise. “As expected of Him, He can handle even serious matters. But if that’s the case, then shouldn’t I be considered a familiar as well?”

"If I had known this kind of thing would happen at the meeting, I should have saved a few novels on my phone." Muels sighed helplessly, looking at the spinning circle on his phone screen.

Given the influence of the Originium Storm, and the fact that Muelses himself had come to the wilderness, this kind of thing is normal.

Muirsey reluctantly put down her phone. Since she couldn't pass the time with her phone, then...

Muirsey put her phone back in her pocket, closed her eyes, and began to calm herself down. Deep in her heart, she slowly and softly murmured a few tones, as if she were calling out to someone.

Muirsey didn't know who she was calling out to, nor did she know what kind of voice was echoing deep within her heart.

Muirsay was simply calling out to a place deep within her heart, guided only by a feeling.

As the surrounding sounds gradually quieted down, the gentle sound of the waves began to ring in my ears.

—————Rhodes Island Medical Center—————

Upon learning of the party held yesterday morning, Yuuki came here, naturally with the aim of helping Ghost Shark regain her senses.

Although not much time has passed since the last surgery, judging from the Deepsea Hunter's physical condition, he may be able to undergo the next stage of surgery.

In that case, it's time for a follow-up visit.

With practiced ease, Yuuki arrived at Specter's hospital room, took out the ID card she had just obtained from Kal'tsit, and gently opened Specter's door.

Then, everything went black in front of Yuuki's face, and a soft sensation instantly washed over her.

"Shark!" Skadi's slightly angry voice rang in Yuuki's ears, "Get off Yuuki right now!"

Skadi glared angrily at Specter, who was clinging tightly to Yuuki. She hurriedly reached out to pull Specter, who had jumped into Yuuki's arms like a child, away.

What just happened was that when Yuuki pushed open the door, Specter, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly lunged at Skadi, who was still a little dazed. Just as Skadi was wondering what the shark was doing,

Just then, Yuuki pushed open the door, and at that moment, Ghost Shark jumped up and landed squarely in Yuuki's arms, hugging her tightly.

"Lauren Tina, you get down here!" Skadi stopped yelling at the shark and called out Laurentina's real name.

At this moment, Yuuzuki, who had been suddenly attacked, realized what had happened and reached out to pat Laurentina, who was hugging her.

"Alright, Miss Laurentina, get down for a moment, I can't see where I'm going." Yuzuki's somewhat muffled voice came from under Laurentina's arms, "Your next treatment is about to begin."

Upon hearing Xiyue's words, Laurentina, who had refused to let go despite Skadi's pulling, finally released her grip, allowing Skadi to pull her to the ground with a forceful pull.

"Really." Yuuki chuckled and reached out to touch Laurentina, who had fallen to the ground because of Skadi's pulling. "Why are you so excited?"

"My most supreme Lord, I apologize for the trouble I have caused you." Laurentina looked up as her head was patted, her eyes revealing unwavering faith.

"Hmm." Yu Yue looked at Laurentina in front of her, sighed helplessly, then looked up at Skadi, whose cheeks were puffed up, and smiled as she patted her head.

"Alright, alright, it's just a small matter."

"Well, even if you say that, Yuuki." Skadi's face immediately turned red when Yuuki patted her head. She was about to smile, but when she caught a glimpse of Laurentina kneeling on the ground, her cheeks seemed to puff up again.

"If I remember correctly, Skadi, you're an orca, right?" Yuuki looked at the puffed-up little orca with a hint of helplessness. "How did you turn into a little pufferfish?"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Yuzuki patted Skadi's puffed-up cheeks. "Good girl, pat on the head."

"No~"

After comforting Skadi, Yuuki looked at Laurentina, who was kneeling on the ground: "Alright, our treatment is about to begin."

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

Yuuki casually caught the falling ice ball, looking at the golden liquid inside. She hadn't drawn out much this time, because if she had drawn out too much, Laurentina might not have been able to properly enjoy the celebration afterwards.

Laurentina weakly raised her head and looked at Yuuzuki: "Thank you, my great Lord..."

"Hmm?" Xi Yue raised an eyebrow, looked into Laurentina's eyes, as if she understood something, chuckled, and then tapped Laurentina's head.

"Alright, Miss Laurentina, stop pretending." Yu Yue looked at Laurentina, her eyes full of laughter. "You don't have the same fanaticism you had in your nun form before."

"Really?" Laurentina, now exposed, stopped pretending and leaned directly against Xiyue. "I think I did a pretty good job of pretending~"

Laurentina then gave a mischievous smile, glancing first at Skadi before whispering in Yuuki's ear, "I didn't expect the doctor to see through me so quickly~"

Chapter 98: The Party in Progress - Preparations

Skadi gritted her teeth as she glared at Laurentina, who was being intimate with Yuuki. This girl was hateful whether she was in nun form or normal form!

'How is this guy so good?' Skadi gritted her teeth and looked at Laurentina, but her hand unconsciously touched the phone in her pocket.

'Let me think, how do they handle things in novels like this…' Skadi tried hard to recall some plots she had read in novels on her phone over the past few days.

But those novels cover everything, yet they don't seem to address what you should do in this situation.

"Alright, alright, get up." Yuuki didn't notice Skadi's hesitation and patted Laurentina's head, who was lying on top of her.

"Good~"

"By the way, Yuuki." Seeing Laurentina obediently leave Yuuki, Skadi, who had been struggling with her thoughts, immediately stopped worrying and turned to think of another problem.

"I remember you treated the shark just a few days ago, how come you can treat it again so quickly?"

"Oh, you mean this?" Yu Yue smiled at the two of them. "The New Year is coming soon, and Amiya and the others said they want to hold a New Year's Eve party."

Yu Yue reached out and pinched Laurentina's cheek: "So I came over to see if I could help Laurentina recover her energy, otherwise she won't be able to enjoy the party, wouldn't that be a pity?"

Laurentina, whose cheek was pinched, beamed with an extremely wide smile: "Thank you so much, my lovely doctor!"

"Would you like to sit down for a bit?" Yuuki smiled at Laurentina and Skadi. "It's almost dinnertime anyway."

“Of course!” Skadi immediately replied. She hadn’t eaten Yuuki’s cooking in a long time, and the food she’d been eating at the Rhodes Island cafeteria these past few days had tasted rather bland.

Laurentina, who had never tasted Yuuki's cooking and had only drunk Yuuki's black tea, was a step slower in reacting.

"Oh, now that Skadi mentions it," Laurentina paused, then looked at Yuuki, "So the doctor can cook, and it looks delicious?"

"Whether it's good or not, we'll know after we try it tonight, won't we?" Xi Yue smiled at the two of them, stood up, and straightened her trench coat. "Alright, let's go~"

"I didn't go back to cook lunch. I guess the kids at home who eat lunch are going to throw a little tantrum."

—————Rhode Island·Accommodation Area·Penguin Logistics—————

"I'm back! You must be starving!" Yuuki called out as soon as she opened the door, leading Skadi and Laurentina back to their room.

Anyway, if she guessed correctly, Exusiai and Texas were probably already here waiting for her to come back and cook.

"Yuzuki, you're finally back!" Sure enough, the moment Yuzuki spoke, Exusiai, who was playing games in the room, looked up and turned to look at Yuzuki at the door.

"Ah, you're back?" Texas, who was watching TV, turned around and looked at the door, then at Skadi and Laurentina following behind Xiyue. "Looks like you went to the medical department?"

"I'm starving!" Exusiai's eyes held a hint of resentment. She had been watching TV all morning until noon when she realized it was lunchtime and happily ran to Yuuki's room.

However, Kurenai, whose eyes were still blurry as if she had just woken up, told her that her mother had gone out. Exusiai thought that Yuuki would be back soon, but now a whole afternoon has passed, and Yuuki has vanished as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth and has not returned.

Only now has Yuuki returned!

"Something wrong~ Something wrong~" Yuzuki waved her hand, then casually scooped up Red, who was charging at her with a rocket headbutt, and pulled her into her arms. "But..."

Yuuki looked at the timid Jessica beside her: "Is there something you need?"

"Ugh." Jessica looked at Yuzuki. "I came to find Yuzuki-sensei to catch up on my studies, but she's not here..."

"Oh, I see, I see." Xi Yue scratched her face awkwardly. She hadn't expected that what she had just gone to eat some melon seeds and watch the show would end up taking her so long.
