I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Chapter 576 [Enjoying Barbecue~]

On the streets of Siesta, a Felin woman with a silver-black ponytail was looking around as if searching for something. Although seeing a sexy and beautiful woman alone in a resort city could easily tempt men to strike up a conversation, the only reason they would do so was if they didn't see her holding a crossbow.

The slightly bolder men also tried to strike up a conversation, but under the sharp, piercing gaze of the Felin woman, they immediately cowered.

The older sister from the Felin tribe, after looking around the streets and not seeing the person she was looking for, sighed and said:

"Ha...Young Miss, where have you run off to again...?"

To be honest, the older sister from the Felin tribe was also a little hurt that her young mistress didn't trust her and had actually left her behind. After all, she had been with her young mistress for quite a long time...

Waaah... Young lady, where did you go...?

Just then, several men dressed in black suits approached the Felin elder sister and reported the surrounding situation to her. Unfortunately, they had not found any trace of the young lady. Upon hearing the report, the Felin elder sister frowned with a headache, but she quickly ordered them to search for the young lady in other places.

.................................................. ......................

Just as a certain large cat was searching for her young lady, Yuhaka and her friends were having a barbecue. The sizzling sound of various seafood being grilled filled the air, and Croissant, standing nearby, swallowed hard and said:

"Slurp~ Youyou... these should be almost done by now."

Yuhaka, standing on the wooden crate, nodded as he looked at the barbecue on the grill, indicating that there was no problem. Then Croissant took out her tongs and tried to put a piece of grilled scallop on her plate, but Exusiai was faster and snatched the large grilled scallop away before Croissant could do it.

"Ah—! My grilled scallops—!?"

Croissant looked at the grilled scallop she was eyeing being snatched away by Exusiai, and immediately gave a (*?Д?) look. Exusiai, who had taken the scallop from Croissant, looked at the gift Croissant had given her with an embarrassed expression.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, here you go~"

As she spoke, Exusiai placed the grilled scallop back onto Croissant's plate. Croissant was taken aback when she saw Exusiai put the grilled scallop back on her plate. Originally, Croissant hadn't expected Exusiai to return it, but after Exusiai let her return the grilled scallop, Croissant looked at Exusiai with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Seeing Croissant's bewildered expression, Exusiai smiled wryly and pointed to Ehaka, who was staring at her and Croissant with deadpan eyes. Upon seeing this, Croissant recalled the fear of being punished by Ehaka after she and Exusiai had been mistaken for arguing while joking around.

Texas, standing to the side, didn't say anything. Rather, seeing the two of them being suppressed by Yhaka made Texas feel a sense of satisfaction.

Texas put the scallop meat from the plate into her mouth, and the thick and tender scallop meat immediately burst with flavor and texture, which Texas thoroughly enjoyed. However, a question arose: where did this seafood come from?

With this question in mind, Texas also asked Yhaka:

"Youyou, where did you get all this seafood? I don't remember you buying any seafood before."

Hearing Texas's question, Yuhaka, who was placing the cleaned squid on the grill, tilted his head and thought about where the seafood he had brought today came from. After quickly recalling its origin, Yuhaka said to Texas:

"Hmm... It's from Viya's side."

Texas glanced at Yuhaka with a puzzled look, then looked at Viya standing to the side. Viya, who was cutting squid, noticed Texas's gaze and looked at her with a puzzled expression, asking:

"Hmm? What's wrong, Texas? Is there a problem?"

Texas looked at the scallop meat in her hand and asked Viya:

"Here's the thing, Youyou just said that these seafood came from Viya's place. Did you buy these?"

After hearing Texas's question, Viya understood what Texas was talking about. Viya simply shook her head and said to Texas:

"I didn't buy them. These seafood are specialties I brought from my hometown, Pandora."

"A local specialty?"

Texas looked down at the scallop shell in her hand. Indeed, it was different from the scallops she had seen at the Longmen Market. It was probably a special variety from Pandora, the one Viya had. Moreover, the meat and size were better than ordinary scallops, and the taste was very tender. It was simply too delicious.

At that moment, Texas and the others also heard Sora's voice.

"Ah, Texas~!"

Texas and the others turned around and saw Sora running towards them from a distance, wearing a beautiful white swimsuit. When they saw that it was Sora, Texas and the others were stunned for a moment, and then waved to Sora.

When Sora arrived in Texas, Texas looked at him with some confusion and said:

"Kong, don't you still have work with Siren Company?"

Upon hearing Texas's question, Sora scratched his cheek and said:

"Well, I've finished all the work over there this morning. My next workday is this afternoon at dusk, so I have plenty of time to relax and have some fun."

After hearing Sora's answer, Texas nodded to indicate that she understood. Croissant, who was standing nearby, handed Sora a plate of freshly grilled squid tentacles. Sora looked at the squid tentacles Croissant handed her and nodded, saying to Croissant:

"Thank you, Croissant-senpai."

As she spoke, Sora picked up a squid tentacle and started eating it. Exusiai, who was also munching on a squid tentacle nearby, looked a little puzzled and said:

"Um... speaking of which, is it that we're missing a drink or something?"

Upon hearing Exusiai's words, the people present seemed to realize that there were no drinks available. Texas, who was standing nearby, then put down her plate and addressed the group:

"Then I'll go buy some drinks."

Chapter 577 [Earthquake and the Mysterious Figure on the Sea]

On the streets of Siesta, Texas and Yuhaka were walking back with a bag of drinks in their hands. Texas, who was chewing on a Pocky stick, looked at Yuhaka, who was wagging his big tail in front of her. Earlier, when she was planning to buy drinks, Yuhaka had also planned to go with her.

Texas didn't refuse Yohaka's request, since Yohaka could help get drinks if she came along. However, unfortunately, when Texas and Yohaka arrived at the vending machines on the beach, they saw several maintenance workers dealing with the broken vending machines.

After inquiring with the repair personnel in Texas, he learned that the vending machines had been damaged by the earthquake that occurred the previous night and were now being repaired.

Texas didn't pay too much attention to this, after all, natural disasters were common in Terra, and earthquakes were quite normal. However, the earthquake that happened in Siesta puzzled Texas. During the morning broadcast, the disaster messenger, whose name was either Darkin or Chris, said that because of the volcano near Siesta, natural disasters in Siesta were rare, and they mostly occurred in the vicinity of Siesta.

Texas didn't pay much attention to the news, after all, natural disasters were commonplace for a Terran.

However, almost all the vending machines here were damaged, and the surviving vending machines were empty because they had run out of drinks and it wasn't time to restock yet.

This forced Texas and Yuhaka to go to a convenience store further out in the city to buy drinks. In the convenience store, Texas looked at the canned drinks on the shelf. As for the choice of drinks... since they were eating seafood, they decided not to get beer or juice.

"Youyou, get some soda."

Upon hearing Texas's words, Yuhaka nodded to indicate that he understood and took out a few cans of soda from the cabinet. Texas also helped carry out a few cans of soda. After asking the clerk to put them in a plastic bag, Yuhaka and Texas walked out of the convenience store. On the streets of Siesta, there were many people holding performances and other activities, probably because of the festival.

Texas couldn't help but marvel at Siesta's music festival:

"This city is really lively, and the music festival truly lives up to its name..."

"OwO um~"

Then Texas felt a soft touch gripping her hand. Looking down, she saw Yuhaka with an "OwO" expression on his face, and a little confused, she said:

"What's wrong, Youyou?"

In response to Texas's question, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at Texas, saying:

"It feels like it's been a long time since I've been with Texas OwO."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Texas smiled, a rare occurrence, and said:

"How could that be... Haven't we been together all this time? At most, I've been going out to deliver goods, which only takes a few days."

As she spoke, Texas reached out her other hand and ruffled Yhaka's head. Yhaka looked at her with an "OwO?" expression. In fact, Yhaka had experienced more time than Texas had imagined, but Texas hadn't realized it. However, Texas could vaguely sense that Yhaka was growing up a bit.

However, Texas simply interpreted this as a sign that Yhaka, as a child, was growing up quickly.

.....................................At the beach.....................................

Texas quickly returned to Exusiai's side with Ehka. Upon seeing Ehka and Texas return, Exusiai waved to them and said:

"Texas, Yu-Yu, you're here, but you're a little slow."

Texas also addressed Exusiai's complaints, saying:

"Most of the vending machines nearby were under repair, and the remaining vending machines were out of stock, so Youyou and I had to go to a convenience store in the city to buy some."

Upon hearing Texas's words, Exusiai and the others showed expressions of understanding. At the same time, Sora, standing to the side, looked at Texas with a somewhat puzzled expression and asked:

"Huh? Why are there suddenly so many vending machines that need repair? Is someone deliberately sabotaging them?"

Texas shook her head and said:

"That's not the case. Those vending machines were damaged because they fell to the ground during the earthquake last night."

Upon hearing Texas's words, the people present wore expressions of disbelief, clearly shocked by the fact that the vending machine had been knocked over and damaged by the earthquake.

"Uh...doesn't this sound a bit too far-fetched...?"

Croissant looked incredulous upon hearing Texas's words. To be honest, Croissant saw that the surrounding buildings did not seem to have been affected by the earthquake, and there was no tsunami-like event. In addition, there were no Originium stones formed by natural disasters around, which made her even more puzzled.

In response to Croissant's question, Texas shrugged, sat down on a nearby recliner, opened a bottle of soda, and said:

"I don't know, but that's what all the repairmen said. It's probably something like that."

Exusiai and Croissant exchanged a glance, then shrugged indifferently. Meanwhile, Sora, sipping her soda, suddenly remembered something and spoke to Texas and Yuhaka, who were present:

"Speaking of which, I have some very interesting news to share, you see."

As she spoke, Sora handed the phone screen to Yuhaka and the others. Exusiai and the others saw a nighttime sea in Siesta on Sora's phone screen, and on the sea, there was a figure that looked like a firefly standing on the sea, which looked like a giant of light.

Seeing this, Exusiai and the others also showed curious expressions, after all, they had never seen such a scene before, while Yuhaka and Jilin on the side looked at the things on the phone screen as if they were very familiar.

Chapter 578 [Singing Performance]

Ji Lin and Yuhaka looked at the glowing giant displayed on the empty phone screen and felt that the thing looked familiar, but they couldn't remember it for a moment.

Exusiai and Croissant looked at the unidentified creature on the empty phone screen with puzzled expressions and said:

"Hmm...it feels kind of fake..."

Croissant, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement and said:

"Yeah, I think so too. After all, those tourist cities like to come up with all sorts of fancy stuff, like this obsidian thing they're doing here in Siesta that supposedly protects against Oripathy. It's all just a bunch of gimmicks."

Upon hearing this, Croissant immediately looked annoyed and said:

"Last time I got a huge pile of obsidian, intending to sell it to Rhodes Island, but that vampire doctor actually said that these things were useless and had no ability to resist Oripathy at all. It was a huge loss."

Hearing Croissant's words, Texas, who was lying on a recliner nearby, also looked speechless and said to Croissant:

"No smart person would fall for this. If that obsidian could resist Oripathy, the entire Siesta would have been razed to the ground by the infected..."

Texas's words pierced Croissant's heart like a sharp sword. Croissant immediately clutched her chest, looking utterly devastated, and knelt on the beach, her face contorted with heartache. She said:

"Ugh—! Texas-senpai, please stop talking! If you keep going, I feel like my heart is going to break, my poor little money..."

Seeing Croissant's expression, Sora also looked embarrassed. Yuhaka, who was standing next to her, saw Croissant looking like she was in an OTL state and reached out her greasy little hand from eating barbecue to pat Croissant's head to comfort her.

Croissant felt Yuhaka pat her head with her little oily hand, and she looked at Yuhaka with a slightly embarrassed and helpless expression, saying:

"Um... Yu-Yu-chan, I'm happy you comforted me, but could you please not touch my head with your greasy hands...?"

When Croissant asked, Yuhaka tilted his head, looking quite puzzled.
