Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

"Clap."

The large crossbow that was carried on the black body slipped off its shoulder straps and fell to the ground, breaking the silence.

She had no intention of getting into conflict with those around her.

He didn't realize that the "kidnapper candidate" he had previously suspected was actually in the broadcasting room.

For example, Luper with his large tail and purple and white fur, and Feline dressed in Victorian attire.

The people who brought Ceylon back to Rhodes Island from the volcano—Provence, Skyfire, and Scavenger—accompanied her to the Broadcast Tower as assistants and guards.

However, Hei Wuxin pays no attention to others.

She took a step forward, but Ceylon suddenly looked embarrassed, frowned and took several steps back until her back was pressed against the control panel of the broadcasting station.

“…”

Hei Qianjin's steps faltered, and her eyes involuntarily revealed a look of regret.

As expected, Ceylon found out.

And Ceylon really hated his "true self".

However, Hei was also mentally prepared.

She continued to approach Ceylon, who, somewhat flustered and embarrassed, avoided her dark gaze.

—What should I do! I just remembered that I asked Hei for help before, and then I never contacted her again! She couldn't find me after she got to the volcano, she must be angry!

Volcanoes are off-limits, yet I went there anyway. After frantically seeking help, I got so excited about meeting other messengers of natural disasters that I forgot all about Hei.

Now that Hei has appeared in front of him, he is so angry that he can't even hold the crossbow steady!

Oh right, I also tore my original outfit. Won't Hei be even angrier?

Not necessarily... After all, even though Black doesn't express it much, isn't Black usually the one who cares the most about himself?

Should I call her "sister" like I usually do when I make her angry?

It seems like nothing is working anymore.

After a fierce internal struggle, Ceylon finally came to her senses when Black was already standing before her.

"Hey... Sister Black..."

Although she didn't dare to look directly at the black figure who seemed too angry to speak, Ceylon still tried her best to look apologetic, gazing at the other person with a pitiful expression.

But the next moment, Hei opened his arms and hugged him tightly.

The height difference between the two meant that the latter almost completely buried his face in the former's chest.

"I'm sorry, I failed in my duty and caused you so much suffering, but no matter what, I will protect you until the very end..."

Hei Mingbai, having learned the truth, realized that Ceylon might not be able to get along with him as before.

It's not surprising to be disliked or ostracized.

Even worse, it wouldn't be surprising if Ceylon, feeling deceived, wanted to take revenge and put himself on trial.

That's why she chose to act so directly, to tell Ceylon what she really wanted to say.

Black was filled with self-blame for putting Ceylon in danger, and the realization that the truth had been exposed.

We might never have the chance to communicate with each other again.

But Ceylon, unaware of the truth, panicked.

This was the first time she had such close contact with Hei; in the past, it had only been a pat on the head.

Even Blackie acted this way, which shows that the other party was more worried than angry.

But what's with that declaration that sounds like a confession...?

"So that's how it is. People who silently watch over each other, after experiencing the danger of possibly losing each other, have their true feelings erupt."

The cleaner, observing all this, quickly drew his own conclusions while glancing silently at Provence, who seemed somewhat at a loss for what to do with the scene before him.

"It's so good that we can still reunite after the disaster, instead of being separated by death. At least we still have the opportunity to express our feelings."

"Hey... Blackie, you...you wouldn't...?"

Although the cleaner's voice wasn't very loud, it still reached Ceylon's ears.

Her face flushed red instantly from the misled thoughts.

"That's right! I am the kind of person you think I am! But I don't intend to hide it anymore. I'm very sorry for deceiving you, but that was not my intention, because when the truth comes out... you might hate me."

Following this misleading interpretation, Black responded to Ceylon according to his own understanding.

Hei's words revealed helplessness. It was the first time she realized that "she didn't want to be hated by someone." This meant that she had awakened to the emotions of an ordinary person, instead of being just a numb killing machine like before. But after such emotions were awakened, she had to face the reality that she was powerless to change them.

Yes, she was a ruthless murderer, something she should never have shown to her "sister" who was by her side. How tragic it was to be a sister hated by her sister, but Hei could only face this fact.

"No...how could that be! No matter what Hei looks like, I will never hate Hei. On the contrary, I love Hei the most!!! I'm so happy that Hei is willing to express his feelings and not hide them anymore!!"

Black readily admitted it, but Ceylon understood it differently.

But this did not stop her from loudly refuting Hei's self-destructive confession.

It turns out that Hei has always felt inferior about his inclinations, which is why he has been hiding them?

In other words, Hei's usual calm demeanor was actually a way of suppressing his desires.

But this time it was far too dangerous. In the midst of a natural disaster, either side could lose their lives, just as the Zalak man had said, and never have the chance to meet again.

That's why Black would express such emotions and confess his feelings after finding himself.

It's not surprising; Ceylon could imagine the agony Black must have felt during the time he cried for help but couldn't find any trace of him.

After their diametrically opposed understandings, Ceylon, her face flushing even more, yet unable to suppress a hint of joy, nervously offered a hug and apology to Hei, who seemed taken aback by the unexpected answer. She continued in response:

"I'm the one who should apologize, Black. I failed to notice these things, leaving you to suffer in silence."

With the other three as witnesses, Ceylon relaxed her body and nestled into Black's arms. Then, she looked up at Black's usually cold eyes—which now shone with a light that seemed about to fall—and continued softly:

"I will never leave you again, Black."

While the other three hesitated, filled with various shocks or other emotions, wondering whether to applaud at this moment, no one noticed that Ceylon had accidentally turned on the broadcast that had just been turned off while backing away.

Now, everyone in the city could hear their conversation.

On Rhodes Island, the Doctor was gently patting the back of Mayor Herman, whose chin was slightly agape and who looked dazed, and said earnestly:

“It’s alright. Siesta is a free city. I don’t think anyone would be prejudiced against the form of love.”

[Main Text] Siesta's Hottest Holiday: Chapter Sixty-Two - The Purest Reason

A volcanic eruption, aggroing of giant apes, explosions and earthquakes, coupled with incomprehensible city-wide broadcasts—after countless moments of chaos, Siesta, a city that was originally just filled with a festive atmosphere, finally managed to return to a state of barely peacefulness.

The searchable population was transferred to mobile platforms in Rhodes Island and Siesta. After receiving notification that "the situation has eased," they felt more grateful to have survived than terrified after the natural disaster. Many even began to reminisce about their tense encounters—being protected by Rhodes Island operators and then being rescued by a giant ape that fell from the sky.

Now, a large number of refugees are uploading photos and videos they have recorded to cyberspace.

Within minutes, the keywords "Siesta volcano eruption" and "giant ape" topped the charts on various social media platforms and search engines, without even needing to buy trending topics.

This left people in other countries, whose only concern for Siesta was the singers at the Obsidian Festival, completely dumbfounded.

An hour ago, it was all about various concert recordings and street photos of famous bands, but now it has all turned into a scene comparable to a Columbia Pictures apocalypse movie.

With screams, explosions, and chaos, plus giant creatures flying around, you'd think Siesta had put on some kind of impromptu show.

Many people, whether out of despair or humor, posted photos of themselves with expressionless faces and backs to a towering wall of flames, and some even added a farewell haiku to their posts.

"Holding this selfie stick, I face the volcano with a smile; the giant ape is just poop."

While ordinary netizens were equally interested in these incredible and perplexing contents, as they began to spread widely, their skepticism was gradually dispelled by the images recorded from various angles and the scenes that could not be faked. The people who paid attention to them instantly changed from ordinary Terran netizens to scholars and even politicians from various countries.

"Is it really gone?"

With no further disturbances from natural disasters, the doctor was finally able to relax a little and no longer have to issue orders to the command terminal, which occasionally went astray.

With all the refugees now known to have been accommodated, the remaining resettlement work can be left to the staff at all levels. Meanwhile, the Siesta City mobile platform, which houses the majority of the population, is currently being handled by Herman's men.

In a sense, it's time for local residents to get used to the life of a mobile city rather than settling down.

After all, Herman had previously planned not to settle in Siesta, and the reason he signed the settlement agreement with Rhodes Island was largely because Rhodes Island agreed to share some construction guidance experience and block allocation experience.

—However, Hermann never expected that he would have to put these things to practical use so soon.

Watching Herman, who seemed preoccupied with worrying about his daughter's future, city planning, and post-disaster reconstruction, leave Rhodes Island under escort, the Doctor had a moment to look at Kal'tsit, who was returning to Rhodes Island from Siesta City, and raised the question he had asked earlier.

Without explicitly mentioning the Doctor's name, Kal'tsit understood what the Doctor meant.

"It seems so at the moment, but you should understand what that means."

The giant ape undeniably and inexplicably helped them, not just Rhodes Island, but the entire Siesta.

This was completely different from their first unpleasant encounter around Lungmen.

It did not bring about a disaster that made everyone on the earth feel insecure, but instead "eliminated" the deadly natural disaster in front of everyone, and even took the initiative to help refugees.

It has a sufficiently clear sense of self and thought.

Although they are both equally fierce and powerful, this giant ape, regardless of whether its stance or other such things are meaningful to it, at least its behavior alone makes people question whether it is the same entity.

It appeared without warning, and then disappeared with countless mysteries...

The only thing that could be confirmed was that Wei Yanwu's worries would not come true.

The giant ape has come to Siesta, just like it's been following Rhodes Island, so it has no time to appear in Lungmen.

However, this is actually one of the reasons why Kal'tsit responded to the Doctor with a worried tone.

"The information Rhodes Island has released does not match the giant ape's behavior pattern. It's not a full moon, and it's not even daytime. What exactly are your intentions?"

"Why did they specifically show up to help when Rhodes Island was executing the crisis contract? Are you manipulating the giant ape behind the scenes?"

Everyone could foresee the inevitable questioning that would follow.

"It might become a reason for others to target Rhodes Island, but I don't think things would be better without the Great Ape's help."

The Doctor knew very well that others would inevitably associate these things with Rhodes Island, and then use them as an excuse for various actions.

Communication, investigation, and even hostility.

However, after these thoughts passed through his mind, the Doctor looked at Siesta, who should have been engulfed by volcanic ash at this moment, and continued:
