Beach Activities~

"White Kitty!"

Sera's cat ears twitched, and she reached out to remove her blindfold.

"What's wrong, Feifei Fox?"

What comes to mind when you think of summer, a beach, and White Kitty?

Feiying didn't answer directly, but instead blocked Sera's view and asked with a grin.

"Hmm..." Sera pondered, considering the operations in the two-dimensional world, and said uncertainly.

Beach volleyball?

"Yes, White Kitty really understands me!"

Feiying pulled Sera, who was lying on the chair, and Sera was pulled up by Feiying in turn.

"Bring it on."

Sera perked up a bit; after all, she was playing with her friends, and looking sickly wouldn't look good.

But don't take it too seriously; this is just for fun. Friends always come first, competition comes last.

"Let's have a 4v4 for fun, I'm on the blue team."

Sera was the first to stand on the blue team's side. The remaining members exchanged glances and tacitly decided to play rock-paper-scissors to decide who would go to the blue team. Only the winner could stand next to Sera and be on his team!

The rock-paper-scissors game has begun!

The first one approaching us is...

All versions, the eternal strongest -- Cyrene vs. the newcomer, the first besides Cyrene to gain recognition -- Herta!

The two who already had official status faced off first, and unexpectedly...

"I'll play the stone," Herta said calmly.

"Mmm♪~"

Cyrene played the paper without hesitation, because she disdained Herta. And indeed, Cyrene won the game.

The Herta has its reasons; she won't fight for it, and she knows Sera wouldn't like it that way.

"I'll team up with her," Black Tomb said, standing next to Herta.

"I'll choose the red team." Kiana stood next to the two, eager to try her hand at fighting Sera!

And this way, there's a white cat head on both sides, which is very Equilibrium!

The remaining interested Feiying and Himeko, exchanged glances, realizing there was no need to guess anymore.

And that was indeed the case; because of Ms. Herta's voluntary concession, everyone who was interested had already formed teams.

Blue Team: Seraphis, Cyrene, Himeko, Feiying.

Red Team: Herta, Black Tomb, Kiana, Suzi.

Yaoguang and Sparkle acted as referees, but Ruan Mei had no interest in them. She pulled out some utensils from somewhere and began making pastries, while Ying just leaned against the coconut tree and watched.

Unfortunately, Miss Pearl couldn't attend the gathering because she's taking over as the executive officer of Dual-Phase Paradise.

"Round 1, Team Red goes first."

Yaoguang blew a whistle.

The Herta members exchanged glances, Black Tomb served, followed by Kiana's powerful shot.

The child didn't use any special abilities; he was simply strong.

The object landed right where Sera was, and Sera caught it with her hand. Hmm... that was a bit too strong.

In the same way, Sera slapped the ball towards the Herta as it leaped high into the air. He wouldn't slap it towards the corner; after all, it wasn't a match, and the most important thing was for everyone to have fun.

Everyone clearly understands this principle; everyone contributes, one ball for you, one ball for me.

The game ended in a tie, punctuated by the sound of Sparkle.

Sera felt a little tired, so she flapped her wings and lay down on a deck chair on the sea.

He's the kind of person who won't get excited unless something is really important; in short, Sera likes to lie low and hates trouble.

But trouble often finds Sera on its own, and although Sera can choose not to do it, he cannot find peace of mind if he does not.

Just like a few days ago, he could have rested, but the Holy Grail caused a bunch of trouble. It's true that he wants to fight the Holy Grail War, but not like this!

"Rest assured and have some rest."

Sera's voice was very soft, after all, she was speaking to herself.

The cat's ears quickly drooped down, and its breathing became even.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Although Sera's voice was very soft, the others on the beach still heard it. Everyone tacitly lowered their voices, and even the usually boisterous Sparkle quieted down and ran with Feiying to the corner where Xuzhao was already lying to bother her.

Xuzhao:?

Aha, that's so embarrassing!

Oh well, they're our own employees, let them be.

Looking at the two people making a ruckus beside him, Xuzhao gave a helpless smile.

Cyrene sat on the rocks by the sea, swinging her legs and softly humming a lullaby by the Aedes Elysiae, her gaze fixed on Sera.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and listened in silence...

The singing was accompanied by the sound of waves crashing against the rocks. Although no one said it aloud, everyone lay down on their chairs and fell asleep.

Kiana also lay on the chair, her gaze drifting somewhere before turning to Sera.

Keep it up, Captain.

Kiana didn't say it aloud, but silently repeated it in her mind.

One day, you will truly become like me— the Herrscher of Finality. But you don't have to become me, nor will you. I will become the one who guides you through the darkness... no... I... am already doing that.

Sera's cat ears twitched as if sensing something, but he did not wake up.

"Hmm~--" Sera stretched and gently flapped her wings, returning to the beach.

"It's lunchtime, time to prepare lunch."

Sera took out tongs and a bucket. "Let's have barbecue for lunch! The ingredients will be freshly caught!"

The sleeping crowd gradually woke up and, upon seeing what Sera was holding, understood what she was about to do.

"Crab..."

Sera held a crab in mid-air, pondering whether to eat it. Peeling it was too much trouble... Sera disliked trouble, so pass!

"Octopus, that's good, and this... salmon!"

Although Sera can't cook, she can still chop vegetables. So let someone else do it; he can just grill the fish or something.

Salmon Sera still thinks it's better to cook it; he doesn't like eating it raw.

"It feels like something's missing..."

Sera laid out her catch next to the barbecue grill and pondered over what she had gathered.

Oh, right!

Sera quickly retrieved a chilled watermelon from the warehouse, sliced it, and plated it.

"And this too!"

Sera looked at the coconut in front of him, rolled up the sleeves of his swimsuit (which weren't actually there), and said he was going to make hand-whipped coconut juice!

Sera didn't need to know what to do; Sera's superhuman intelligence told him to use his superpowers!

"Ha!"

Sera began to pound the coconut, and after pounding it, she filtered it again to remove any impurities.

Leave it to me.

Nguyen Mai took the salmon and began to stir-fry the vegetables.

"If you're hungry, have some plum blossom cakes."

The pastries that Nguyen Mai made earlier are still on the table, exactly the same as when they were first made, as if they will never change.

Still wanting to know Ruan Mei's plum blossom cake recipe!

The group sat around the table, most of them exchanging smiles and raising their hands to drink the coconut juice that Sera had made.

Sera shouted first.

"To that fragrant tomorrow."

"Respect for justice!"

Busitu was the first to drink, followed closely by the wandering knights.
