Back to Siesta / Joining Up

"Don't worry... let me think about it. Left foot is the clutch, right foot is the accelerator, and the big pedal is the brake..." Hearing Huang's mutterings, Suika said she wanted to get off the car.

Before they could react, they heard a sudden slam of the accelerator, and the vehicle shot off like an arrow.

"Whoa!" Huang screamed excitedly as he rapidly turned the steering wheel.

In the passenger seat Suika could only huddle with Shanghai, trembling.

Chapter 580 Revisiting Siesta

Sunset

The SUV was parked beside a stream.

At this moment, Suika lay limply on a rock, just like a lump of mud.

Her face was pale, and she looked like she was about to pass away.

Yes, Suika got carsick.

At this moment, she had no appetite for drinking and lay there like a salted fish, completely helpless.

"Ahaha, sorry..."

While furtively taking a handful of Suika's Ibuki Gourd hair and sipping it slowly, Huang apologized without any remorse.

Suika didn't want to pay him any attention, and casually turned her back on him.

Half an hour later, the two sat by the fire, eating grilled fish and drinking heavily.

As for the rule of "don't drink and drive, and don't drink and drive after opening a bottle"...

This isn't Blue Star, it's Terra. Cars are a rare commodity here, unlike in my previous life when they were everywhere. In the wilderness, the chances of encountering wild animals are much higher than encountering cars or people.

Besides, driving is a problem for tomorrow; what does drinking today have to do with tomorrow?

The next morning, after breakfast, the two began another day of high-speed racing.

Fortunately, after yesterday's ordeal, Suika has developed resistance.

In addition, she cleverly chose to sit on the roof of the car instead of inside.

It got much better immediately.

Although my buttocks were still being jostled around quite a bit, it was at least much better than being in the car.

That evening, Siesta appeared in their sight.

Under the cover of night, the two arrived inside Siesta.

"Wow, Siesta is such a great place."

Although it was almost midnight, the streets were still bustling with people, and the surrounding shops were brightly lit, which made Huang sigh with admiration.

Guided by Suika, the two drove directly to Swire's hotel.

After getting the key from there, the two of them went to the villa area where she had stayed the previous time she came.

"Aren't we going to find the Doctor first?" Huang asked, looking at the large villa in front of him.

"Big sister, don't you know what time it is? It's already past midnight... If you don't sleep, Amiya and the others need to sleep too."

Wouldn't it be better to rest for the night and go find them tomorrow than to go tonight and wake them up?

Suika rolled her eyes at Huang.

"Hehe!" Huang chuckled and followed Suika into the house.

"This friend of yours is quite something!" Huang exclaimed as he looked out at the sea view from the balcony.

"It must be quite remarkable to have a sea-view villa in a place like Siesta where land is incredibly valuable."

Remember Swire? The police officer from Lungmen.

"Suika said."

"That guy with the explosive temper, Feline? His technique and skills are pretty good, but his strength is a bit lacking." Huang immediately recalled the appearance of the person Suika had described.

As one of the three police officers sent by Lungmen official business, Swire quickly joined the most popular fashion club among women on Rhodes Island.

From Columbia to Ursus to Great Yan, she is well aware of the fashion trends in various countries, and it is said that the small wallet she carries can buy a full set of field equipment for a full-fledged operator.

It's worth noting that Rhodes Island field operators' equipment isn't cheap, and the fact that her seemingly insignificant little wallet is worth so much gives you an idea of how wealthy this Feline is.

As a fighter from Rhodes Island, Hoshiguma had naturally clashed with the Longmen Guard Bureau trio. Hoshiguma was skilled in strength, Chen Hui-chieh was versatile, and Swire was small and agile. Their different styles complemented each other, and the effect of the three of them working together was more than the sum of their parts, which left a deep impression on her.

"You mean this is her family's property?" Huang raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"The Swire Clan belongs, was originally a noble family in Victoria. However, the main family went to Lungmen for some reason, and only the branch family remained here."

However, its foundation was not greatly damaged, and the family has developed quite well in the years since the split, even gaining the support of Caster.

When I first came to Victoria, I had several pleasant collaborations with the current head of the branch family, so our relationship is not bad.

Remember that officer from before? He was also from the Swire family.

Suika finished speaking, Huang slapped his thigh.

"I knew it! When he mentioned Swire's house earlier, it sounded so familiar. Turns out, they're the family of that little cat."

Once Huang realized this was their territory, he became less reserved.

After having a few drinks, the two took a shower and went to sleep separately.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Suika was shaken awake by Huang.

"Elbow, let's go find Amiya!"

When Suika looked outside, it was just dawn.

I raised my arm to check the time on my watch: 6:30...

Suika was so depressed she wanted to eat someone...

Dude, I know you're Amiya fangirl, but there's no need to be in such a rush.

Reluctantly, I got up and was pulled out of the villa by Huang.

"Do you know where Amiya and the others live?" Suika asked helplessly as they walked.

"I don't know, but Siesta isn't that big. We'll run into them eventually if we keep exploring," Huang said optimistically.

Suika her to a stop.

"No, you don't even know where they live, and you're trying to find a needle in a haystack in Siesta?"

Do you know how terrifying the crowds at Siesta are during music festivals?

Believe it or not, even if you were less than ten meters away, you wouldn't be able to find Amiya and the others.

Suika finished speaking, Huang immediately denied it.

"Impossible! As long as Amiya is within ten meters of me, I'm sure I can find her!"

Suika covered her eyes; this girl was hopeless.

"Never mind, come with me..."

Suika reached out and pinched Shanghai's hair. Shanghai jumped into her arms and then pointed in a direction.

The two then headed in the direction Shanghai pointed.

"Can you do this?" Huang asked as they walked.

"It's still better than your needle in a haystack."

Besides, some of the people coming this time might bring other Shanghai Dolls with them. As long as there are Shanghai Dolls nearby, I can find them through me."

According to Suika's memory, there were quite a few people who came this time, plus Doctor and Amiya, so given the cat's personality, she would definitely arrange enough guards.

Among them, the Shanghai Dolls is a pretty good backup plan.

Normally, when held in a girl's arms, he's completely unremarkable. But when it matters, with the Shanghai Dolls's combat prowess, he's perfectly capable of protecting the Rhodes Island group when facing danger.

With Suika is certain that Kal'tsit will allocate a few units to this team.

And the result was just as she had predicted.

The team that Doctor brought this time did indeed have two Shanghai Dolls, one in Amiya's backpack and the other in Ifrit's backpack.

These were Kal'tsit's last trump cards, placed beside Amiya.

Chapter 581 Reunion

Just as Suika had guessed, Shanghai did indeed sense the presence of other dolls within the city.

She led the two of them to a hotel very quickly.

Looking at the hotel in front of them, the two men had strange expressions on their faces.

This is because it is a property owned by the Swire family in Victoria, a fairly high-end hotel.

The two of them had returned the car yesterday, but they hadn't realized that Doctor were staying here.

Suika stared intently at Huang.

"Didn't you say that you would definitely spot Amiya if she was within ten meters of you?"

Huang turned his head and whistled.

Upon entering, they were greeted by the same lobby manager who had returned the car the day before.

Seeing the two approaching, he assumed they needed a car, so he jogged over.

"Miss Suika, do you need a car?"

"It hasn't been washed yet. If you're only staying in the city, I can get you a more business-like sedan. Is that alright?"

Suika shook her head

"No, I'm here to find someone..."

Suika explained the purpose of her visit.

After hearing her words, the manager looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Don't worry, we're companions. They got here first. We're a bit late, but we barely made it."

The lobby manager breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Suika said.

"Please come with me, both of you."

Soon, the two were taken upstairs.

As soon as he stepped into the hallway, Huang sniffed the air and then whispered...

"I can smell Amiya's scent! She's really here!"

Before the lobby manager could even react, he demonstrated what it meant to be as swift as a rabbit.

Inside the house, Amiya, who had just woken up, was still groggy when suddenly the door was violently broken open. Before she could react, a huge dark shadow pounced on her like a vicious dog.

If she hadn't seen the person's face clearly at the last second, she would have already cast the spell.

When her companions heard the noise and rushed over, they saw Huang hugging Amiya and rubbing against her on the bed.

"Miss Huang, and Miss Suika!" The one sharing a room with Amiya is Red Bean.

When Huang burst through the door, she was so frightened that her hair stood on end.

When she came to her senses, she saw Huang inside the room and Suika leaning against the door, holding Ibuki Gourd with a helpless expression.

"Um... remember to ask the person inside for the money to fix the door," Suika said to the lobby manager who looked at her with suspicion.

The lobby manager breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the scene inside, which was more chaotic than a battle, though not one.

"Then I'll go downstairs and arrange for someone to fix the door. Have a great time at the music festival!"

After saying that, he muttered, "She's really scary, I have to be careful," and quickly slipped out.

Suika shook her head at this, then looked at the other doors that had been opened after hearing about the situation.

First, there's the place next door, where the Doctor lives.

First, a sharp longsword emerged from the doorway, followed by Hellagur's body, tightly shielding the Doctor behind him. In case of danger, Hellagur could advance to protect the Doctor and allow him to regroup with the other operators in the room behind him, or retreat to ensure that the Doctor could at least retreat back into the house.

However, he relaxed when he saw Suika waving and greeting him from outside.
