Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Form?

Croissant and Sora couldn't help but swallow hard, and greeted Exusiai and the others, "Good morning, do you need any help?"

Croissant was a little calmer, and Sora even subconsciously took a step back because the atmosphere in the kitchen was just too intense.

Taking the opportunity, Su Rui urged, "Alright, breakfast is ready, let's eat quickly!"

"Hmm." Texas and Vulpisfoglia exchanged a glance, then nodded to each other, temporarily setting the matter aside and starting to prepare the tableware.

Croissant and Sora, who were outside, quickly came in to help and soon set the breakfast on the table.

Croissant sat at the table, rubbing her hands together and exclaiming, "This is the first time I've ever seen such a lavish breakfast. Is it to celebrate Su Rui joining us?"

"It's to celebrate Su Rui's return to us."

As Vulpisfoglia said this, she smiled at Croissant, then looked at Su Rui, picked up a meatball with her fork, and held it to his mouth.

"There are other people here, you really are..."

Su Rui muttered under her breath, somewhat dissatisfied, but didn't look at Croissant and Sora. It would seem like she was trying to shoo them away, Su Rui felt was inappropriate.

However, with the food already brought to his lips, and Vulpisfoglia even pressing the meatball against his mouth, Su Rui still ate the meatball in one bite.

Exusiai and Vulpisfoglia sat on either side of Su Rui, while Texas could only watch from Vulpisfoglia's side. After thinking for a moment, she made this suggestion.

"We don't have anything to do today, how about we go to a bar to celebrate?"

Kong smiled somewhat awkwardly, "I probably won't have time today. I have a performance to prepare for later, so I won't disturb your celebration."

After saying that, Sora quickly finished her breakfast, grabbed a slice of pizza, and greeted Vulpisfoglia and the others:

"Then I'll go to work now, boss~"

With that, Sora smiled and turned away without looking back. In the current atmosphere, staying would only make her a third wheel, wouldn't it? Sora didn't want to do that. Croissant, watching her retreating figure, felt a pang of despair. "Sister, you ran away, but I don't seem to have any reason to run away either. Won't I be the only one left here?"

Croissant glanced at Suzuran beside her, who was happily eating breakfast, completely oblivious Vulpisfoglia the ambiguous relationship between Honeysuckle and Su Rui. Suddenly, an idea struck her:

"Oh, by the way, shall I drive Suzuran to school later?"

"Hmm? Thank you Croissant Sister. Actually, it's fine for me to go to school by myself."

Suzuran of the Valley's attention was drawn to Croissant's words, and she temporarily shifted her gaze away from Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia's interaction, looking at Croissant with bright, sparkling eyes.

"It's alright, I happen to have some time, it's nothing serious."

Seeing that she could also escape the fate of being a third wheel, Croissant couldn't help but feel happy and patted her chest to assure Suzuran:

"Don't worry, your sister Croissant will definitely get you to school safely."

"Yes, thank you, Croissant Sister."

Suzuran nodded, and after having breakfast, she and Croissant went to the parking lot as Croissant's lifeline.

Finally, she got into the car and looked at Suzuran of the Valley in the passenger seat. Croissant n't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Now, she could finally get rid of that awkward atmosphere.

Vulpisfoglia Boss, Texas, and Exusiai were all circling around that handsome boy, and the ambiguous atmosphere made Croissant, an outsider, very uncomfortable.

Even if she is indeed very beautiful, doesn't this seem a bit too intimate?

Croissant couldn't help but think of these things, and then, from some detail, she deduced that it seemed Vulpisfoglia Boss and Su Rui had known each other for a long time?

Sitting in the passenger seat, Suzuran noticed Croissant's confusion and smiled, swinging her legs as she said:

"Actually, Su Rui is my dad. Is that what you're wondering, Croissant?"

"Huh? Really?"

Croissant's eyes widened in surprise, while Suzuran nodded. "Although Dad's appearance has changed slightly, his face and the feeling he gives off are exactly the same."

"Is that so?"

Croissant hadn't thought that far ahead. Sankta and children of other races do indeed tend to be mates. Little Suzuran is just a slightly special Wolper, which makes sense.

Croissant nodded, then started the car, assuming that the changes Suzuran mentioned were due to the passage of time.

What Suzuran was actually saying was that Su Rui's racial characteristics had changed... However, the understanding and clever Suzuran was not willing to say it outright, so she just sat quietly next to Croissant and went to her school with her.

Croissant, meanwhile, was secretly planning to sneak back to Penguin Logistics later to grab some of her own stuff to set up a stall.

Anyway, Su Rui and the others should already be at the bar by then.

Volume 3, Chapter 186: An Unexpected Kiss

Croissant thought she could avoid Vulpisfoglia and the others after dropping Little Suzuran off at school, but when she drove to the garage, she saw Vulpisfoglia and Texas waiting there.

The two astute assassins immediately turned their sharp gazes towards the vehicle as it entered, Croissant could only greet them with an awkward smile.

"Vulpisfoglia boss, Texas? What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

We're waiting for someone.

Texas nodded, looked at Croissant, paused for a moment, and then said, "I'll give you some pocket money. How about we go somewhere else to kill time today?"

"Really? No, no, no need. I was already planning to take some things to set up a stall. You guys are busy, I'll be right there."

Croissant's eyes lit up at the mention of money, but then she remembered that some money wasn't so easy to come by and considered refusing.

But at that moment, Vulpisfoglia had already arrived in front of her, took a stack of Lungmen Dollars from her pocket, and stuffed them into her hand:

"Don't go to set up a stall, just go out and have some fun. Don't go inside, you might need to contact them later. Just take this."

"Okay, thank you boss. I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving now~"

Croissant naturally couldn't refuse Vulpisfoglia's request, so she quickly accepted the Lungmen Dollars Vulpisfoglia handed over with both hands, and then left Penguin Logistics from the garage while smiling and saying hello.

Once out of Vulpisfoglia and Texas's sight, Croissant finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew~ Although the atmosphere was a bit scary, at least I got paid~ Time to go shopping~"

With that, Croissant, wearing an undisguised smile, walked toward the shop she had previously set her sights on.

Because of his extravagant spending habits and frequent wallet losses, Croissant's life is always rather tight. Today, thanks to Vulpisfoglia's sponsorship, he can finally get the little trinket he'd been eyeing.

Meanwhile, Exusiai, left in the Penguin Logistics Hall by Texas and Vulpisfoglia, was still struggling with how to get closer to Su Rui. The red-haired Sankta sat next to Su Rui, his hands on his knees, head down, unsure of what to say.

Despite being an optimist, she acted like a shy child at this moment.

Su Rui sighed, then used her control over electronic devices to activate Miss Dai, projected the game onto it, and took out two game controllers:

"How about playing some games for a while?"

"Eh? But... okay."

Exusiai subconsciously thought that she should use this time to get closer to Su Rui and then do some more intimate things, such as kissing.

But she didn't know what to do, so after seeing Su Rui hesitate for a moment, Exusiai nodded:

"I see."

So, while Texas and Vulpisfoglia waited outside, Su Rui and Exusiai began the game.

The so-called celebration at a bar was, of course, part of the itinerary.

However, we need to wait until Exusiai breaks the deadlock between her and Su Rui.

Texas and Vulpisfoglia were truly surprised that Exusiai so patient. The first thing she did after Su Rui materialized was to sleep with Su Rui, instead of doing anything more intimate.

Now, Texas and Vulpisfoglia, who were waiting, never expected that Exusiai would use this time, which could have been reserved for her to play solo, to play games with Su Rui.

Soon, Texas grew impatient, pulled out a box of Pocky, popped one into her mouth, and said to Vulpisfoglia, "I'm going to go see how far they've progressed."

Are you sure you want to go see it?

Vulpisfoglia looked at Texas with a puzzled expression. Although she also wanted to know the answer, going now would affect the progress, and they would be the ones to suffer later.

"As long as Exusiai doesn't find out, Su Rui won't mind us peeking." After all, Su Rui has already been intimate with both of them, so why would she care about so many things?

As Texas said this, Vulpisfoglia couldn't help but nod, taking a Pocky from Texas's Pocky box and popping it into her mouth.

"Then let's go take a look. Remember to be careful not to get spotted."

"Of course." Even without Vulpisfoglia's reminder, Texas's past experience as an assassin meant she wouldn't be easily discovered.

So, Vulpisfoglia and Texas crept up to the third floor by climbing, approached the living room from behind, and quietly peeked out to take a look.

Then they discovered that Exusiai and Su Rui were actually using that time to play video games, and they were having a lot of fun.

"I'm dying, I'm dying! Exusiai, you hold them off for now, I'm just taking a sip of blood~"

"Here it comes! Wow! This boss's skills are ridiculous!"

When Exusiai was providing support with her shield, the boss's attack knocked off her shield, and she was then killed in one combo.

Su Rui had just finished drinking the blood potion and recovered when he was attacked by the boss. Without using his Scanning Vision or electronic abilities to cheat, he vomited up all the blood potion he had just drunk and even lost more health.

Exusiai cheered Su Rui on from the sidelines. "Come on, be careful, his wide-range attack is coming!"

"No problem, watch me show off my skills!"

Su Rui intended to use an aerial attack to dodge the wide-range ground attack, but even after she was airborne, she was still knocked to the ground in one hit, and her character died.

Exusiai laughed heartily beside her, "That skill just now didn't have a jump hitbox, so there was no lower body invincibility, hahaha~"

"What's so funny? I just didn't realize it."

Su Rui was initially annoyed by Exusiai's mockery, but then she couldn't help but laugh along with her.

Then, the laughter between the two of them subsided as they gradually exhausted themselves. Exusiai looked into Su Rui's eyes and suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Su Rui asked, puzzled. "Is there something on my face?"

"We're going to play games next, "Su Rui thought, intending to correct Exusiai's behavior. But before he Exusiai grabbed his cheeks and covered his mouth with hers.

"Hmm?"

Su Rui was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Exusiai to choose this moment to kiss him.

Why choose this particular time when there were so many good opportunities before?

Su Rui was a little confused, but she didn't think too much about it and naturally hugged Exusiai, responding to her kiss.

Unwittingly, Su Rui spotted Texas and Vulpisfoglia emerging from the corner, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Vulpisfoglia just smiled and raised her index finger in a shushing gesture, while Texas stared intently at Su Rui, lost in thought.

Volume 3, Chapter 187: The Emperor: I'm Not Afraid at All

After the long kiss ended, Exusiai n't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then looked at Su Rui, her cheeks flushed, wanting to explain:

"I just couldn't help myself, yes, I couldn't help myself."

"It's okay, or rather, I quite like it too."

As she spoke, Su Rui suddenly leaned in again, kissed Exusiai, winked and smiled at her, "Your first kiss was with me, Su Rui!"

"?" Exusiai paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh at Su Rui's somewhat comical expression.

"Fine, you dare to tease me? Let me teach you a lesson, you naughty child!"

As she spoke, Exusiai lunged forward, grabbed Su Rui's wrist, and tried to pin him down.

While the two were laughing and joking around, Exusiai caught a glimpse of Texas and the others standing in the direction she was looking out of the corner of her eye.

Her body stiffened, and the smile on her face froze.

Exusiai immediately lost her playful mood and her cheeks turned bright red. Vulpisfoglia and Texas were in the corner—did that mean they had seen my kiss with Su Rui?

Exusiai's eyes widened in surprise. She got up from Su Rui and turned to look in the direction of Texas and Vulpisfoglia.

Texas said nothing, only silently watching Exusiai, while Vulpisfoglia smiled and greeted Exusiai.

"You must be tired after playing games for so long, right? How about we go to a bar to relax? It'll just be the few of us there."

The person Vulpisfoglia was referring to was naturally herself, Texas, Exusiai, and Su Rui; after all, even that bar belonged to her.

Moreover, the bar is indeed not very crowded during the day. Due to the Emperor's business model, this bar is practically the exclusive bar for Penguin Logistics, with only occasional unfamiliar customers coming in.

Exusiai nodded, her cheeks flushed, and as she stood up, she reached out to help Su Rui up. Together with Vulpisfoglia and Texas, they headed towards the bar.

Texas and Vulpisfoglia didn't say much along the way, and didn't bother Exusiai, who was so shy she was about to explode. They simply led the way, taking Su Rui and Exusiai to the bar.

Then they discovered that there were still two customers in the bar, drinking loudly in the middle of the day, praising and criticizing the bar's decor.

Texas and Vulpisfoglia didn't care so much about this, but the Emperor, who happened to be there, couldn't tolerate anyone disrespecting his aesthetic sense.

Then, Su Rui saw a penguin, about half a person's height, walk towards the table where the two werewolves were, and reach out to pat the table:

"Hey kid, if you don't like my bar, don't waste my time here. Get out of here!"
