Sunset Is Fleeting
The fact that it's so docile is clearly the work of Suika.
Suika looked towards Provence
"Provence knows the volcano and its interior better than I do, so let her explain."
While Provence was applying conditioner to her tail with the help of Sora and Amiya, she didn't expect Suika to focus her attention on her.
"Ah, me..."
"You can talk sitting down, no need to stand up." The Doctor glanced at Provence's somewhat singed and sparse hair, which Amiya was carefully combing, and Doctor for Provence, who was about to stand up, to sit back down.
"Okay, thank you..." Provence recounted how the four of them determined the volcano's location, how they found the Originium Bug after entering the cave, and how Suika returned after realizing something was wrong with them.
"I have some bodily fluids extracted from Pompeii here, which I plan to take back to Rhodes Island for testing to see how its blood differs from that of ordinary Originium Bug."
After listening, Doctor looked at Suika again.
"So how did you make the Originium Bug retreat back into the depths of the cave? Were there any side effects, such as the Originium Bug becoming enraged after they realized what was happening?"
Suika thought for a few seconds and then shook her head.
"Probably not..."
I used my ability to make the Originium Bug retreat, a suggestive spell called Idle Dispersal.
This spell centers on a fixed target, causing all living beings around the target to subconsciously move away from that location.
At that time, the passage where the Originium Bug were located only had one path, which could only go forward or backward. So after I blocked the front and used this spell, all the Originium Bug in the passage were affected.
Unable to move forward, they could only instinctively choose to retreat.
This effect comes from the subconscious, so even when they come to their senses later, they won't feel there's a problem.
Moreover, given the limited intelligence of Originium Bug, they probably wouldn't have much time for thought.
"Besides, we blocked the passage when we left, so even if those Originium Bug wanted to return the way they came, it would be impossible."
Suika explained how she resolved the situation.
It's not that she was particularly generous or selfless, but rather that as a strong person, she had enough confidence that even if an enemy knew about her spell, they wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
After all, the ability to Density and Sparsity is one's most basic and fundamental skill.
The spells developed through this ability are the most powerful among all of one's spells.
Like the two spells Feast Gathering and Idle Dispersal (representing gathering and dispersing respectively), in terms of strength, it is only slightly weaker than the irresistible effect of Suika's Invitation to Drink.
Without adequate preparation, even a master of magic like Logos can fall victim to a trap.
After Suika finished explaining, Doctor looked at Skyfire and Amiya beside him.
The two most skilled in magic in the team were none other than Skyfire. She shook her head, indicating that although she knew a lot about magic, she was not good at mental magic.
Amiya, who was standing nearby, thought for a moment and said that the magical effect that Suika mentioned could indeed be achieved in theory. However, Amiya also said that her research on magic had not yet reached that level, so she could not do it at the moment.
"That's good... Then we'll go back and contact our main ship."
You are free to do as you please for the next few days. If you need anything, please let me know.
Doctor breathed a sigh of relief after Amiya finished speaking.
His biggest worry was that the Originium Bug would return, since there was only one Suika, and given her personality, she would definitely not want to stay here for too long.
If the Originium Bug reappear after she leaves, and if the residents of Siesta haven't evacuated, they will still cause extremely serious damage to the area.
Now that his worries were gone, he felt relieved.
Upon hearing Doctor's words, everyone cheered.
"Elbow, elbow... Suika, I found a spot by the sea that's perfect for setting up a stall. I've set up a barbecue setup, let's go set up a stall and have some fun."
Ifrit hugged Suika and said excitedly.
???
"Setting up a stall for fun?" Suika said she couldn't understand what was so fun about it.
However, at Ifrit's insistence, she joined in.
Under the sun-drenched beaches and sea breeze of Siesta, a shop with the sign "Little Dragon BBQ" officially opened.
Three days later, the Doctor prepared to lead his team back to Rhodes Island.
"Suika, do you want to come back with us?" Doctor and Amiya looked at Suika.
Suika shook her head. "No, I'm planning to go to Columbia for Zhuan Zhuan, and then return to Rhodes Island..."
"Alright, then we'll see you at Rhodes Island later!" Seeing that Suika had no intention of returning to the main ship, the Doctor didn't insist.
Under Ifrit's reluctant gaze, Suika bid farewell to the Rhodes Island group and headed towards Rhodes Island after the music festival.
"Oh, Suika, you really are here!" After the Rhodes Island group left, Suika heard a familiar voice.
"Long time no see, Your Emperor!" Suika greeted the penguin that had appeared out of nowhere behind her.
"You came to Siesta but didn't come to hang out with me. If it weren't for Sora being back with the Rhodes Island people today and talking about you, I wouldn't even have known you were in Siesta."
The Emperor was very unhappy; Suika came to Siesta but didn't look for him, their relationship had cooled...
Aren't you quite busy with work?
Suika knew that the Emperor had been traveling between several music venues these past few days, and had barely rested during the day.
In other words, he is the Beast Lord and doesn't need to worry about physical damage at all. If it were a normal person, their voice would probably be ruined after just one music festival.
"But we can't let that delay our drinking!" The Emperor revealed his true intentions.
Suika looked up and pointed at a group of people passing by not far away.
"If you want to drink, that's fine. Do you know them? Can you introduce me?"
"The band Sunset Is Fleeting, would you like to get to know them?"
"No problem, follow me!" The Emperor stood on tiptoe to look in the direction Suika was pointing. After clearly seeing the several girls in the crowd, he nodded and led Suika to a hotel not far away.
Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, Suika noticed that the security presence was extremely tight.
"Most of the bands and musicians invited to Siesta stay here. Look, that's DDD..."
As he led Suika inside, the Emperor introduced her to the visitors.
Chapter 586 The Sunset Is Fleeting
Upon seeing the Emperor enter, DDD approached him with great enthusiasm.
"Good afternoon, Your Emperor! Is this also one of your employees?"
The Emperor patted Suika on the shoulder.
"How could that be? This is my good friend. I didn't expect to run into her in Siesta, so I brought her over to have some fun."
Upon hearing the Emperor's words, DDD looked at Suika in surprise. Although he hadn't had much contact with the Emperor, and she seemed to be a very enthusiastic person, he knew very well that beneath the Emperor's enthusiasm lay considerable arrogance.
If you don't meet the other party's standards, the Emperor won't even waste a single word on you.
So, the fact that this seemingly ordinary girl could be called a good sister by the Emperor means that she must have achieved something extraordinary in some way.
"Hello, I'm DDD, nice to meet you."
In response to DDD's kindness, Suika extended her hand and gently shook hands with him. "Hello, Mr. DDD, my name is Suika. Your music is very interesting, I really like it."
Suika looked at the girl in front of her with great curiosity. Even though she usually covered her head with a hood, Suika's specialty was electronic music and DJing.
Her music, which she created through her own abilities, also touches on this aspect, and judging from the overall impression, her talent is indeed top-notch.
It's considered quite trendy in Terra and is very popular among young people.
In addition, she enjoys socializing and interacting, Suika knows that Provence is a big fan of hers.
"Can we take a picture together?" Suika asked, taking out her camera.
"Of course!" Seeing Suika's friendliness, DDD naturally wouldn't refuse.
The Emperor took the camera from Suika, "I'll take your pictures. One, two, three, cheese!"
After taking the photos, DDD pointed to Suika's armband and exclaimed, "Wow, Suika, you're a Catastrophe Messenger!"
Suika nodded. "Good eye! I've come all the way from Great Yan to here, and you're the first one to notice me."
"Come on! My goodness, you're amazing!" DDD exclaimed after hearing Suika's words.
"After all, he's Catastrophe Messenger."
The two chatted very happily, and they could have continued talking if someone hadn't called out to DDD.
Before the other person left, Suika and she exchanged contact information.
"When did you become so knowledgeable about music?" After DDD left, the Emperor looked at Suika with a shocked expression.
After all, when Suika and DDD were chatting about cutting-edge music and various electronic music, she didn't miss a single word, and she could keep up with everything DDD talked about.
Recalling his time in Lungmen, this person had absolutely no knowledge of music theory, except for being able to shout "The great river flows eastward, the stars in the sky point to the Big Dipper".
"Haha, you should always learn something new when you're traveling. Look, this is perfect."
Suika chuckled, particularly enjoying this kind of plot where someone's abilities change dramatically in just a few days.
Just then, the door opened, and the four people, Sunset Is Fleeting, walked in.
They stared at Suika the moment they entered.
As behemoths, they sensed the unique aura emanating from Suika the moment they entered.
"Come and sit down?" At this moment, the Emperor beside Suika waved to the four of them.
Seeing the Emperor next to Suika, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.
"This is Suika, my friend... These four are the members of the Sunset Is Fleeting Band you wanted to meet." Seeing the somewhat tense bodies of the Sunset Is Fleeting members, the Emperor naturally knew the reason, so he eased the atmosphere between them.
"Hello, I'm a fan of yours. Could you please give me an autograph?" Suika took out an album and a pen from her pocket and handed them over.
"Hey, hey, Suika, you've gone too far."
We've known each other for so long, and you've never treated me like this before.
Suika's action put everyone at ease, and the Emperor took the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark.
"Haha, we're buddies, talking about these things will hurt our feelings!" Suika awkwardly touched her nose, then the Emperor grabbed her neck and started strangling her.
"Don't you think doing all this in front of me hurts our feelings, sister..."
"Let's drink until we drop tonight, as an apology!" Suika said with a forced smile.
Seeing this, the Emperor relaxed his arm.
"That's more like it!"
Seeing the harmonious relationship Suika and the Emperor, the group from Sunset Is Fleeting also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Suika called us here just to get an autograph?"
Lead singer AYA asked the question.
Hearing her words Suika shook her head.
"Of course not..."
Upon hearing Suika's words, the group immediately became serious.
Seeing this, Suika smiled and then took out her camera.
"We still need to take a few group photos... Rhodes Island has quite a few fans of these guys. I'll show off these photos when I get back next time, and they'll be so envious."
"Why are you so jumpy?" Seeing that Aya and the others had relaxed again, the Emperor reached out and patted Suika on the back to stop her from causing trouble.
"Speaking of which, I have some music I'd like to discuss with a few of you. Are you free tonight...?"
Don't get me wrong, it's not midnight, it's after dinner. Let's find a place to chat...
I need to buy some musical instruments this afternoon; I don't have enough of what I have on hand.
Upon hearing Suika's words, the others' expressions turned strange; after all, what respectable person would discuss music late at night?
Fortunately, Suika realized that her words had contained something that could easily be misunderstood, and quickly explained.
"A musical instrument? What do you need? I can borrow one for you. The music festival's over anyway. Borrow some instruments from me."
"I'll just go buy it myself, since I'm keeping it for myself... Of course, if you know any music stores around here, you can recommend one." Suika shook her head. She was planning to form a band and perform in Leithanien, so borrowing was out of the question; she had to buy it herself.
