Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

"Don't move around. If you fall, you might sink this island. Besides, you still have bandages on your arm."

In Tomat's view, a building that looked like an iceberg appeared—the Siesta Beach Hotel, completely covered in ice and snow.

Above, two familiar figures were running around under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.

One was Frostnova, who was only wrapped in a bed sheet and looked like she was dressed in a minimalist style, while the other was Blaze, who was desperately fleeing and dodging Frostnova's snowstorm attacks.

What are they doing...?

Thomas instinctively withdrew his arm and touched his chin, bewildered by the sight before him.

"Who knows...and I'm not that heavy."

and many more.

Since he's touching his chin.

So who is holding me now?

Skadi raised her head and then looked down at her feet.

A feeling of weightlessness followed, then a deafening roar and a tremendous tremor, causing everyone watching the ice and fire duel, including the participants themselves, to turn their gaze to the crater that had suddenly appeared in the street.

"Oops, sorry, I accidentally let go..."

Froststar remembers it very clearly.

After making that incredibly willful request, she confronted what Tomat was hiding within her.

The suffocating sense of oppression almost made her scream and run away from him.

However, her will and emotions did not allow her to do such a cowardly and hurtful thing—although she had the right to run away and not force herself to suffer, or perhaps her concern for Thomas was just wishful thinking, and he might not have been hurt at all by her reaction of running away.

Even with that possibility, Frostnova persevered to the very end.

Embrace the other person, then lose consciousness in their arms, conveying a level of recognition and acceptance that cannot be boasted of as "redemption."

Frostnova has done everything she could for Tomat.

So when she woke up and found herself lying in bed wearing only a thin nightgown—besides the initial tension and surprise, and rolling around in bed with her face covered by a pillow for several minutes, Frostnova remained calm.

After all, she had long been mentally prepared for this kind of development.

Spending the day together, talking late into the night, using actions to touch each other's hearts...

Then this situation occurred when both of them were resting together.

Although this was neither Frostnova's intention nor her goal, she wasn't particularly surprised or disgusted by it, because after embracing Tomat despite the oppressive feeling, she realized that her feelings were not just a figment of her imagination.

Frostnova was not satisfied with Tomat's impulsive act of taking advantage of her while she was asleep.

It would be such a pity if one didn't even have a clear memory of something so important.

Oh well, after today, I'll have plenty of opportunities to "teach him a lesson."

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and the doorknob began to turn.

Froststar sat up. Perhaps she had been thoroughly understood by the other party, but she still held back and pulled the blanket over herself to cover her body.

She was a little angry—a little shy, and a little expectant.

What should we say to Tomat as he enters?

I should also think about how to explain this to my uncle later.

Be bold, think about things much further ahead, like... children?

Perhaps, he could become a very powerful warrior?

Thinking of this, Frostnova couldn't help but pick up the pillow again, bury her face in it, and shake the pair of ears on her head.

"Squeak-"

But the moment the door opened, Frostnova's slightly blushing yet expectant expression froze.

Along with the temperature of the entire room.

"Oh? You're already awake? Did you have a good time last night?"

"...How could it be you!?"

It wasn't Tomat who came in.

Instead, it's that female Fiona who's always drooling over Amiya on Rhodes Island—the elite operator Blaze!

"The one I brought you here is of course me."

This was a statement that shocked Frostnova, yet also didn't seem unexpected.

She had seen Huang hold Amiya in his arms, rubbing and kneading her, drooling all over other people's heads.

I've also seen Huang slap Greythroat across the butt when he passed by.

Or perhaps you bump into her in the training room, touching Instructor Lin Guang's thigh and saying, "You have a really nice figure."

"I...I knew you'd been eyeing me for a long time!!"

Frostnova is enraged!

Huang, however, showed a surprised expression and said:

"How did you know? Aside from being a bit aloof, you're strong, beautiful, and resilient. I really do like you."

"Praise me and I won't let you get away with it!!! I'll kill you, and then take him down with me!!!"

What on earth is Tomat thinking? Why would he throw himself into a hotel and let others eat him?

The next moment, angry words and snow filled the entire hotel, freezing it in mid-air.

Rewind to the present—

"So you just started fighting like that?"

At this moment, Tomat, with Frostnova tucked under his arm and Blaze's tail in his other hand, let go of her after listening to their "backstory".

And just after they finished speaking, Skadi had just climbed out of the deep hole in the road, which was surrounded by onlookers, and was brushing the dust off her body.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch... My tail is going to break off! Is this the pain W was talking about? Looks like I can definitely use it next time... By the way! Why is she the only one being pinched, while I'm being pulled by the tail?!"

Frostnova stood silently to the side, wrapped in a blanket, while Blaze rubbed her aching tailbone, protesting the differential treatment she received when Tomat intervened in the fight.

“I just… never mind, that’s not the point.” Tomat ignored Huang’s protest and continued to persuade him, “You two calm down… oh wait, it’s already very cold here. Anyway, calm down, it’s just a misunderstanding. I remember after you fainted last night, I asked Huang to get you a room to rest.”

Huang's appearance reminded him more of what happened last night, but his explanation didn't seem to move Frostnova much; she remained silent and kept her eyes fixed on him.

However, Frostnova is now considering whether to "doubt Tomat" or "doubt Blaze".

Perhaps what Tomat said was true, but Huang was lying—she was also surprised that she had subconsciously sided with Tomat while thinking.

Seeing Frostnova's distrust, Tomat simply walked up to her, pressed his nose against her body, and began to sniff her.

This distance was so great that Frostnova could even feel Tomat's breath, and she also transferred her body heat to Tomat's skin.

After circling Frostnova for a while, until she even felt a little embarrassed, Tomat finally stopped. Before Blaze could even wonder what he was doing, Tomat said to Frostnova:

"Although there is a slight smell of Huang, it must have been from when she helped you change your clothes. My nose doesn't lie."

He pointed to his own nose, and Frostnova's expression changed slightly, but before she could speak, Tomat uttered another shocking statement—

"Don't worry, the scent on you is basically mine."

Of course, what he meant most was the scent he had picked up from Froststar after she embraced him and fell into his arms that night.

However, to both Frostnova herself and Blaze, these words sounded very...ambiguous?

"Wow, you know what? The one thing I didn't say because of your recklessness was, 'That guy is so lucky.'"

Huang smiled mischievously at Frostnova, who had suddenly lowered her head. Tomat, not wanting to ruin the atmosphere at this moment, remained silent, waiting for Frostnova's reaction so he could quickly end the commotion.

Perhaps wanting to avoid being watched by everyone, Frostnova took a deep breath and whispered to Tomat, as if worried that others might overhear her:

So... you don't have 'that' yet?

Why are we running?

Huang, carrying large and small bags, walked briskly along the asphalt road under the sunshine of Siesta.

The person she was asking was Tomat, who was standing at the very front, supposedly leading the way but more like wandering aimlessly.

"Good question! Because you froze someone else's hotel and then fought on it."

He turned around and spoke to Froststar and Blaze.

"Then why should I run away?"

Although Skadi had no reason to run, by the time she realized it, she had already followed the others like everyone else.
