Chapter 683: Chapter 11 Sumr · Swimsuits · Fireworks Festival! (Part 1)
“Question! When we talk about sumr, what cos to mind?!”
Kardesia, the club president, knocked heavily on the whiteboard, proposing today’s topic with her usual vigor.
“Shaved ice,” Qin Qianbai raised his hand.
“Air conditioning~” Qiluo was the second to offer her view.
Gongsun Ce lay on the table, listlessly saying, “Bathtub.”
“How can you guys have no sense of youth at all—hey, wait a second, why would you think of a bathtub?”
Gongsun Ce looked up, his eyes lifelessly gazing at the ceiling.
“Because, Mr. Gongsun, I’ve been sleeping in the bathtub for three weeks now… Recently, Wawu seems to have taken for a restroom ghost, showing no reaction when seeing co in… From now on, the cold touch of the bathtub will always co to mind when I think of sumr…”
Shiyu Lianyi almost laughed out loud.
Kardesia shivered: “What kind of dostic cold violence is this… Cough! Leaving Gongsun Ce’s issue aside, what I really want to talk about is sumr activities! There are so things that if we don’t do during this rare sumr break, we’ll lose the chance!”
“What is it, Kardesia?” Shiyu Lianyi played along.
Swipe, swipe, swipe, the club president wrote the big Empire character “Sea” on the whiteboard!
“Of course, we’re going to the seaside to swim, everyone! Swimsuits! Beach volleyball! And man-eating sharks!!”
“Kick that last B-movie elent out!” Gongsun Ce complained, “And no talking about chainsaw killers, either!”
“Tsk.”
The president pouted and pulled a stack of flyers from her bag. The background of the flyer showed the sea, beach, and bathers, printed with the eye-catching slogan [10th Annual Sumr Festival] in fancy script, obviously an event hosted by the Mutual Assistance Association this year.
“So, I’m giving everyone a day to prepare. Let’s invite as many people as possible~ We’ll et tomorrow afternoon at three o’clock at Fixed Wing District’s man-made beach!”
Qin Qianbai, uncharacteristically, voiced his objection: “I don’t want to wear a swimsuit in front of a bunch of strangers…”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, I’ve pulled so strings for VIP area tickets!” Kardesia said with a smug smile, “That best section is all ours, no intruders allowed!”
“Well done, President,” Qin Qianbai gave a smile of approval.
What kind of strings could you possibly pull… It was clear she likely strong-ard the headquarters of the Mutual Assistance Association into giving up the best area, and later it’ll be Mr. Shiyu who has to clean up the ss.
But, the beach… swimsuits…!
Gongsun Ce’s mind tensed up instantly. Using the survival instincts honed from countless deadly confrontations, he realized the danger was imminent.
—There’s going to be trouble!
At first glance, the beach plus scantily clad swimsuits seed like the epito of a beautiful sumr day, but in reality, it was the train to hell!
If both the little miss and Qiluo were present, getting cozy with one would definitely not sit well with the other. If those two got upset, of course, the one to suffer would be the poor Mr. Gongsun!! He could already see himself being thrown into the bio-engineered shark tank!!
“I have to get more people to co… I need to find soone who can save …!” Gongsun Ce shivered, muttering to himself, then looked with minimal motion at the most reliable person in the group.
Qiluo returned with an enthusiastic smile, typing a ssage on his phone screen: [You can always trust , Gongsun Ce!]
Oh, Lord Qiluo! Fantastic!!
Gongsun Ce felt relieved, as if he had grabbed onto a lifeline just before plunging into an abyss. At the other end of this lifeline, Lord Qiluo was entertaining his own little thoughts.
(Beach… swimsuits… sumr… wonderful mories…!!! This is a rare opportunity! I’ll go pick out a swimsuit later, hehehe… hehehehehe…)
“So, that’s it for today’s club activities. See you at the festival tomorrow, everyone!”
“Oh!”
The small club mbers dispersed, each going off to make their preparations.
·
The next day, at three in the afternoon.
“Ga~ Ga~”
The fierce sun blazed down, the sky was crystal clear, and deep blue waves crashed against the shore, swirling in shells and seaweed. A bio-engineered seagull with green wings flew over the beach, its fluttering wings dividing the azure sky from the white, fine sand. The beach was abuzz with noise, lively and bustling, with young people in swimsuits basking in the sunshine and sea, frolicking under parasols and splashing in the water.
To anyone just looking at this scene, it would seem like a tropical island beach, but in fact, the superpower users were still in the Empire’s Sky City, on the man-made beach in the Fixed Wing District. On the eastern side of this recreational site, a secluded “hidden area” was set up for a few VIP guests, concealed by an optical invisibility device. The four who had arrived at the eting place ahead of ti were now enjoying the quiet VIP area feeling the salty taste of the ocean.
“Oh… it’s pretty similar to the sea back ho,” Chuyun Linai scooped up so seawater, curiously observing, “Has the technology of Sky City advanced this much?”
“It’s said that the seawater and sand here were transported from the Southern Ocean islands, but the actual situation is unknown,” Shiyu Lianyi dutifully explained.
“I see~” Linai nodded, then turned to ask, “So why did Little Ce drag along, too?”
“Sister, you’re rarely in Sky City for the sumr break, of course, we had to drag you along for any activities,” Gongsun Ce’s eyes shifted evasively.
“Mhm, the truth?”
Gongsun Ce said sheepishly, “We only have three guys in our group, not enough presence, so we pulled you in to bolster our numbers.”
The little witch grabbed his head in one swift motion, “Watch out or I’ll bite ya! I am a high school girl in the pri of my youth, different from you guys in your trunks, very different!!”
