Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

Froststar suddenly realized something, and a certain word was about to slip out.

"I did it all on my own merit!"

But Tomat interrupted her directly, righteously denying Frostnova's idea at that moment.

Telekinesis is a relatively common skill in the Dragon Ball world. It can be used as a superpower, magic, or a derivative of ki.

[Main Text] Siesta's Hottest Holiday: Chapter Eighteen: The Happy Little Orca

Siesta is a large city with many places to visit during Obsidian Festival, but the amusement park, as a landmark, is definitely the choice for most people. They will visit it at least once or twice during the festival, and its visitor numbers are even higher than those at the music festival venue.

After all, even if there is no threshold for participating in a music festival, interest is an important factor that influences participation. Perhaps for some people, music is not that attractive, while almost everyone is interested in amusement parks.

This applies to the operators of Rhodes Island as well.

Since everyone is on vacation, it's impossible that only Thomas and Frostnova will be at the amusement park; quite a few other operators will also be there.

However, some people will greet each other warmly when they meet, or even go out together, while others will deliberately avoid each other and not let others know that they are here.

In the latter case, some operators are simply introverted and prefer to explore alone, while others are slightly more complicated.

For example, when certain operators are engaged in activities similar to private dates, they absolutely do not want to run into other colleagues.

However, regardless of whether there are actually any secret couples hiding from everyone on Rhodes Island, there are certainly many people who avoid others simply because they are aloof.

—Siesta City Amusement Park, Plaza Area, Souvenir Street—

It's rare to be drawn to someone you don't know, but it's not surprising if that person is exceptionally attractive. However, following someone with your eyes because of this can lead to other risks, such as your partner suddenly grabbing your ear.

However, the person attracting these "weak-willed individuals" now is not Frostnova, who is active in the amusement park, but another operator from Rhodes Island.

Her long, flowing silver hair, almost as long as her height, was tied at the end into a large, wave-like style that swayed behind her with the sea breeze and her steps. This eye-catching hair alone was enough to make many people stop and focus their attention on this Agor woman strolling along the souvenir street.

The blue and white sun hat cast a shadow over the young Agor girl's face in the sunlight, and on top of that, she wore a pair of brown-red sunglasses that obscured her vision. Even with all these concealments, anyone who passed by and caught a glimpse of her delicate face couldn't help but be drawn to her calm and profound expression.

The outfit is clearly meant to match the sun hat, and it also features a simple blue and white color scheme. The single-button short top is paired with an off-the-shoulder shawl and a blue ribbon that goes around below the chest and supports the curves of the body, highlighting the upper body's curves to the fullest. The single-button short top also reveals the shapely abdomen.

However, the slightly conservative color scheme and style do not make this outfit look too seductive or alluring; instead, they add a touch of gentle elegance.

Her legs, adorned with decorative straps beneath her short hot pants, were shod in platform sandals, each step leaving a crisp echo on the ground.

The eye-catching Agor girl walked along the souvenir street as if aimlessly, passing by shop after shop filled with a dazzling array of goods, her gaze only briefly sweeping over the items in the shop windows without lingering.

But in the end, she stopped in front of a marine mammal souvenir shop that wasn't particularly eye-catching.

—Although it is advertised as a coastal tourist city, the vast body of water near Siesta is at best an inland lake, so it is impossible to sell any real marine animal products here.

Rather, even in a true coastal country like Iberia, there are few so-called "marine products".

Moreover, most of the creatures called sea monsters are fictional creations based on the imaginations of people on land. Sometimes, these creatures are so far off-putting to the Agor people, who are from the sea, that they are laughable.

However, she does quite like the black and white sea monster design that she currently uses as her hair clip—it makes her feel a little nostalgic.

Although the "sea creature theme" is just a gimmick, she thinks that some of the fantasies are acceptable, and she came here to buy a sea creature-themed item that she had been eyeing for a while.

"Excuse me, miss, what would you like to buy? Please come in and have a look. We have the most exquisite sea monster merchandise in all of Siesta."

A woman who looked like a Terra fashion magazine model stopped in front of her store, which flattered the clerk. She immediately left the cool, air-conditioned room, went outside, and greeted the young woman with a smile and the same old promotional slogans.

"Can I use this?"

The girl spoke in a calm voice, while taking out several pieces of paper from her small bag that were neither Lungmen Dollars nor any other currency.

These are Siesta's universal vouchers—the ones she earned from previous competitive eating contests.

"Sure, sure! Please come in! Feel free to choose whatever you like inside."

The shop assistant was about to usher the girl inside, but after hearing her reply, the girl looked up, pushed her sunglasses up to her forehead, stared upwards with her bloodshot eyes, and then pointed with her hand, saying:

"I want this one."

—She was referring to the signboard of the souvenir shop.

It was a round-bodied, finned sea creature with a red back and a white lower abdomen.

This can be considered a classic design that reflects people's fantasies about sea creatures.

Although the girl, being an Agorian, knew that there was no sea monster that actually looked exactly like it, that did not prevent her from having a certain degree of affection for it.

It's rare for her to like something, but once she's encountered it, she can't let it go easily.

Like a hunter encountering long-awaited prey, he was determined to capture it.

"Ah...sir, this is a signboard, not a product..."

I thought I had run into a customer, but then I realized I might have encountered a weirdo.

"Not enough money? I have more here."

The girl then took out a stack of high-value vouchers from her bag with an indifferent expression, her gaze never leaving the huge sea monster decorative panel.

"No, this is not for sale."

Seeing that the other party was persistent in wanting her own signboard, the shop assistant continued to refuse her strange request with a troubled expression.

It's not that the signboard can't be sold, but if there's no signboard during the holidays, how can customers be attracted?

"But I want this one."

Agor said earnestly.

"I...we have a large doll with the same design!"

The shop assistant, quick-witted as ever, offered the customer an option that might be accepted.

The girl hesitated after hearing this.

Reluctantly shifting her gaze from the signboard, she continued to ask.

"...How big?"

"It can't fit in one arm!"

The shop assistant answered immediately, while also feeling uneasy about the answer.

After a long silence, the girl finally nodded and accepted the shop assistant's offer in a accommodating tone.

"...Okay, that works too."

—After some time, at the Siesta City Amusement Park, in the amusement park's ride area—

The man holding three servings of shaved ice was equally eye-catching because he was dressed in what looked like a bomb suit on such a hot day.

He looked around, startling everyone in his line of sight, who quickly moved away, since he seemed like an abnormal person.

He eventually spotted one of the figures he was looking for near one of the tents housing the amusement park ride.

It was a Kuranta girl with a single ponytail, hiding in the corner of a tent, gazing into the distance at something unknown.

However, judging from the way her tail kept wagging behind her, it must be something that made her feel interesting or happy.

"Grani, have you seen Skadi? Her shaved ice is almost melted."

The man in the bomb suit approached the Kuranta girl from behind, puzzled, and patted her on the shoulder.

"Shh—Uncle Bob, look, that's Skadi!"

But the girl immediately turned around, gestured for him to be quiet, and then pointed in the direction she had been observing.

It was a carousel ride that wasn't very popular.

To be precise, it wasn't a carousel, but rather a "rotating sea beast" with various fantastical sea creature designs. The claim that it "didn't attract many people" was actually just that one person.

The girl named Skadi, whom the Kuranta girl called Skadi, was the Agor girl who had previously bought gifts at the local shop.

At this moment, she was sitting alone on a red sea monster, slowly rising and falling and rotating as the facility operated. She held onto the railing with one hand, while the other hand tightly hugged another oversized plush toy that looked exactly like the sea monster beneath her.

She was expressionless and there were no other tourists on the ride—but for some reason, she seemed very happy.

"...Grani, why are you having a nosebleed?"

[Main Text] Siesta's hottest holiday: Chapter Nineteen What are you looking at?

It was already afternoon, and although the sun wasn't as scorching as before, it was still hot and glaring. Froststar and Tomat, each with an ice cream in hand, arrived at a more relaxing play area.

Tomat stood there, watching Skadi sitting on the carousel from afar.

However, she seems unaware that many people are still watching her from the shadows, as she is currently lost in her own confusion.

"...What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, I just find it strange that someone is sitting on a carousel with a toy in their arms, swaying back and forth with a blank expression, humming a song. Is they happy or unhappy?"

When you have a beautiful woman by your side, it's definitely not a way to win favor by looking at another woman.

Although Frostnova's tone rarely changed, the slight furrowing of her brow before speaking indicated that she seemed to have some dissatisfaction.

After all, after Tomat recounted his "love history," which was not something he wanted to recall, Frostnova was no longer "strange" about Tomat's attention to other women—after all, he, like any normal man, could have feelings for the opposite sex, but now he seemed absent-minded about many things, to the point that some people might think he was more interested in men.

The reason is that most of his friends who eat with him or those he often spar with are male.

"I don't know. I'm not very familiar with Operator Skadi. She might be playing alone because she's in a bad mood, but she seems so relaxed that she doesn't seem sad."

It seems that it was only after Tomat's explanation that Frostnova realized that the woman sitting alone on the carousel going round and round was one of Rhodes Island's operators. Although she had been a little annoyed for some reason, she still expressed her thoughts.

"Huh? She's from Rhodes Island too?"

Thomas was quite surprised by Frostnova's explanation and continued:

"I thought they were just ordinary tourists during the match."

When the match ended, Tomat was indeed surprised that this seemingly ordinary girl could defeat him so easily. However, after the match, he did not take the initiative to talk to her—he was busy finishing the rest of his hamburger.

"What competition?"

"In the competitive eating contest, she ate faster than me and Bardock, and then she won first place."

Froststar remained silent for a while. In this temperature, if you don't lick the ice cream quickly, the melted cream will drip onto your hands. However, Froststar's body temperature would prevent that from happening.

She remained silent, firstly because what Tomat said was somewhat unbelievable—that someone in this world could out-eat their race? That was probably just as absurd as being able to beat them in a fight.

Secondly, another guess came to mind: "It shouldn't have had much to do with her in the first place."

But Frostnova, as if possessed, blurted out the words:
