Poseidon in Arknights

"Skadi... something's wrong with you, calm down." Yuuki looked at Skadi, whose eyes were slightly glazed, and felt that something was amiss.

So, Yuuki bought another life detection device from the system.

The life detector's filtered light swept across Skadi's body from top to bottom, and then a report emerged from the iron dust shattered from the life detector.

[Subject Tested]: Skadi

【Gender】: Female

[Race]: Agor, Sea Clan

[Height]: 166cm

[Status]: Excessive hormone secretion (testosterone). This current state is commonly referred to as a "heat wave"...

When Yuuki saw the status marking in the report, she immediately crushed it with water. She understood Skadi's condition and remembered what Isamara had said.

["No, she will, she definitely will. We yearn for your embrace, all the sea creatures yearn for your embrace. You nurture and sustain countless lives, and we have already learned your teachings."]

“'Lungmen swear words,' Isamara, you 'Lungmen swear words'!!!” Yuuki grabbed Skadi tightly, “Is this the method you said Skadi would definitely help me?!”

Skadi was still trying to get closer to Yuuki, who looked at Skadi and took a deep breath: "When dealing with troublesome out-of-control patients, the best method is indeed..."

Yuuki grabbed Skadi's shoulders with both hands and threw her away. She then created a water ball in the air to trap Skadi. Yuuki rolled off the bed and casually pulled a wooden stick from her clothes.

【Forced Dizziness Stick】

[Type: Weapon]

[Effect: No actual damage is caused, but the person hit will fall into a coma. The duration of the coma depends on the physical condition of the person hit or the strength of the attacker.]

[Description: Physical stun can be a method when needed, but it requires a certain amount of strength. While this stick won't cause actual damage, the resulting bumps don't count.]

"Physical methods of vertigo are more effective!"

"Good morning~" Exusiai walked out of the room, scratching her head. She had drunk quite a bit yesterday, but she had to pretend to be normal. She didn't want Yuuki to give her another mouthful of hangover medicine.

The bitterness of that stuff was absolute torture for a Sakta who was devoted to desserts; it was something she absolutely could not accept.

"Yuzuki, breakfast is ready... Wow~" Exusiai pushed open the door and saw Yuzuki sitting on the sofa with a speechless expression, using her hand to push Skadi away as she tried to get closer, and Red, who was tightly pressed against Yuzuki in her arms, also reaching out to push Skadi away.

"What kind of position is this?" Exusiai stood in the doorway, looking at the speechless Yuuki with a half-smile. "You two should have been enemies at least last night?"

"I don't know what's going on either, that's just how it is." Yu Yue sighed. "If it's breakfast, I'll make it now."

"Alright, you two behave yourselves." Yuuki used her free hand to tap Skadi and Red on the forehead.

"Hmm." x2

"Alright, alright, get up." Yuzuki waved for the two to get up. "I'll go make breakfast this morning. Exusiai, could you please wake up the rest of the people?"

"Alright~" Exusiai bowed to Yuuki, turned around and walked back, preparing to knock on each door one by one.

"Since it's so late, let's make some simple sandwiches." Yuuki walked towards the kitchen, turning to look at the two who were still staring at each other. "Red, Skadi, get along well."

-------

"Have some hangover water first, you all look like you have headaches." Xi Yue walked over with a plate of sandwiches in one hand and several glasses of water in the other.

"Thanks." Texas rubbed her forehead, picked up the water glass, and drank it all in one gulp. Even though she was prepared, the bitterness of the drink still made Texas's face twist slightly for a moment.

"Can I not drink it?" Exusiai looked at the water in her hand, her expression somewhat conflicted.

"Whatever, I don't mind if you want to go to work with a hangover."

“Alright…” Exusiai was about to put down her water glass when she saw Texas staring at her with a death stare.

"Of course not, I'm definitely going to drink! I just got my driver's license, I have to share the burden with Texas."

Chapter 49: Apology

"Um, Madam..."

"What's wrong?" Wen Yue turned to look at Wei Yanwu, who was kneeling on the durian peel. "It's still early."

"Um...I was wrong."

"Yes, you're wrong. What did you do wrong?" Wen Yue stood up and walked to Wei Yanwu's side.

"I shouldn't have sneaked out to drink, and I especially shouldn't have come back until morning." Wei Yanwu shrank his neck.

Wei Yanwu's fingers were practically drawing circles on the ground. He had originally planned to have one or two drinks and then leave, but he got carried away. After all, it was really hard for this group of brothers to have a drink in such a good atmosphere these days.

Of course, the result was that they drank from the middle of the night until morning. To be honest, Wei Yanwu had considered whether he should go to the Emperor for refuge and then lie that he was going to talk about something.

But considering that if he did that, Wen Yue would most likely expose him, and he would then face the prospect of not being able to sleep with his wife for at least three months, Wei Yanwu decided to go back and accept his miserable fate.

"Don't rush, I told you there's still plenty of time, didn't I?" Wen Yue shook her head as she looked at Wei Yanwu, who was shrugging his neck.

That's not it for her. She really didn't agree with Wei Yanwu going out drinking, and she could probably guess who Wei Yanwu was drinking with, but she couldn't stand that Wei Yanwu didn't come back until the morning.

"Um, Xiao Chen said he might come..."

Upon hearing Wei Yanwu's words, Wen Yue pondered for a moment: "In that case, get up, change your clothes, and wash off the smell of alcohol."

--------

"My lovely employees, your boss is back!" The Emperor pushed open the tavern door and looked at the Penguin Logistics team who had just finished breakfast.

"..." Texas turned her head and glanced at him, while the emperor, who reeked of alcohol, turned his head back.

"Hmm~ The boss is back." Exusiai stuffed a sandwich into her mouth, sniffed, and smelled the strong smell of alcohol on the Emperor. "Boss, did you just come back from the wine cellar?"

"I had a few drinks with some old friends in a rare good atmosphere. Haha, Lao Long is going to be in big trouble when he gets back today, isn't he?"

"Boss, perhaps you should put away that smile and have some water." Xi Yue smiled as she walked to the Emperor's side and handed him a glass of water.

"Ugh...cough! cough! cough!!" The Emperor coughed it all up as soon as he drank it. "'Dragon Gate swear words,' are you trying to give me bitter medicine?"

"It's for sobering up. It's a bit bitter, but it works wonders." Xi Yue smiled mischievously as she waved the small bottle of hangover remedy in front of the Emperor.

"A little bitter? I really hope your race hasn't robbed you of your sense of taste."

Xi Yue put the bottle back and shrugged: "So I haven't drunk it myself yet, after all, I don't need to sober up."

"Tch..." The Emperor curled his lip, turning his gaze to Skadi, who was sitting obediently on the sofa. "What's wrong with her?"

"Don't ask, I have a headache." When talking about this, Xiyue couldn't help but comfort him, touching her head and making a headache-like face.

"Ha, it seems I missed quite a lot yesterday." The Emperor shook his head, expelling the last trace of dizziness from his mind.

"Does your head hurt?" Skadi asked, noticing that Yuuki, who was talking to the Emperor, seemed to be complaining about her own behavior.

'I've caused Yuuki a lot of trouble; I think the captain said something similar before...'

Skadi recalled how, when she had caused trouble in the past, the captain would often make her apologize, and then afterwards he would say that it had given him a headache.

Although Skadi wanted to apologize to the captain, she was pushed away by him each time, probably because the captain didn't want to accept her apology.

'This time, I must apologize successfully!' Skadi stood up resolutely and walked towards Yuzuki.

"Hmm?" Yuuki caught a glimpse of Skadi walking over out of the corner of her eye. She turned around and looked at Skadi with a puzzled expression. For some reason, Yuuki felt that Skadi had an aura of "do or die" about her.

'What's wrong with this child?' Yuuki couldn't understand why Skadi would suddenly walk towards him with such an aura, so she asked.

"What's wrong? Scar... um!" Just as Yuuki was about to speak, she felt a wet sensation on her lips.

"Wow!" Exusiai nudged the Texas next to her with her elbow, who had inexplicably crushed the bag of Pocky she had just pulled out of her hand. "That one is called... uh, Skadi, right, how bold!"

"Um......"

He glanced at the Pocky that Texas had crushed in her hand, then at Texas herself, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"Tsk...where's my phone?" Croissant instinctively reached for her phone, only to find it wasn't there; she'd probably left it on the bed. "That's a shame...wait a minute..."

Croissant suddenly remembered a wolf cub that was still quiet until now. Just as Croissant was about to turn her head, she saw a red shadow flash past her.

'That's more like it.' Croissant nodded; this was how she had imagined things to go.

As for Yuuzuki, the protagonist of the incident, she was stunned by the sudden attack, and then she only felt her tongue being gently bitten.

Then, Skadi stood up and nodded as if satisfied. She looked at the stunned Yuuki with a simple smile, seemingly pleased with what she had done.

"Mom!" Originally, Red intended to go and grab that enviable...and hateful Skadi, but seeing that Skadi had already left Yuuki, Red jumped directly into Yuuki's arms.

"Wait, Red! Ugh!"

Before Yuuki could forcibly remove the red, Hong had already kissed Yuuki's lips. Then, Hong jumped down contentedly and looked at Skadi provocatively.

"Hmm?" Skadi tilted her head, not understanding why the other person was looking at her like that. "Are you here to apologize too?"

"You two..." Yuuki looked at the two of them, wanting to lash out, but not knowing where to begin. One was a blushing, innocent-looking girl, and the other was Skadi with a goofy expression. She really didn't know what to say.

"Did anyone take a picture?" Exusiai whispered to a few colleagues. She hadn't realized at the time and forgot to capture that precious moment.

"No......"

Texas took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable displeasure in her heart, and calmly tore open the Pocky wrapper she had crushed to pieces, picking out a relatively intact one and putting it in her mouth.

"No." Croissant pointed regretfully into the depths of the bar. "I probably left my phone on the bed."

"That's such a pity! This is a rare moment when Yuuki lost her composure!" Exusiai felt disappointed. If it hadn't happened so suddenly, how could she have forgotten to take out her phone and capture the scene?

"Hey, Exusiai, have you forgotten?"

Croissant patted Exusiai's thigh and pointed to the security camera on the bar wall: "We have security cameras."

“Yeah, Croissant, you really have a way.” Exusiai nodded, then turned to another question, “Do you have the password to that thing?”

“I don’t have any, but Is does!” Croissant gave Exusiai a thumbs up.

“First of all, it’s highly unlikely that Is will give it to you.” Texas silently moved away from the two reckless guys. “Second, Yuuki is watching you two.”

Sora silently moved away from the sofa and made a praying gesture towards Exusiai and Croissant.

Croissant and Exusiai slowly raised their heads, as if their necks were rusty, and looked at Yuzuki, who was smiling at them.

"Um... don't hit my face."

"Hey, Old Chen, you're back." Hoshiguma looked at Chen Huijie as she walked in. "How did things go?"

Swire, sitting at another desk, glanced at Chen Huijie's face and said, "Judging from her expression, we probably didn't reach an agreement."
