Ignoring the risks, the amusement park project was launched.

Lappland replied cheerfully, while subtly glancing towards the living room.

Mostima was dragging the wailing Croissant out of the house, her cries echoing throughout the entire room.

However, no one came to save her. Even Exusiai, who was still huddled in bed, was carried out by Texas and Remian, blanket and all.

"No! We've got a disease that makes us die if we go shopping, please leave us alone!"

"I walked around for so long yesterday, my legs are about to break."

"Summer vacation is for sleeping in! I'm going to stay in bed all day and not go anywhere!"

"I propose a vote to decide the itinerary; Lappland will definitely support us."

Croissant's shouting stopped abruptly.

To her and Exusiai's disbelief, Lappland had already dressed and changed her shoes, and even picked up her small crossbody bag for convenience, something she hadn't done in a long time.

"Hurry up and get ready, I'll wait for you downstairs."

"???"

What the hell? !

Chapter 23, Section 24: Texas, Dominated by Instinct

"Am I still dreaming?"

Watching Lappland's eager back as she headed out to have some fun, Exusiai murmured in a daze.

In the past, whenever it came to going out shopping, this guy was always the first one to lie on the ground and refuse to be dragged along.

Why are you being so proactive today?!

Must be dreaming!

Before she could peacefully close her eyes and continue to sleep, Remyane pinched her pretty face.

"Ouch—it hurts!!!"

"My face is going to swell up, I know this isn't a dream! Let go!"

"How can this dog be so diligent? There must be something wrong with it!"

Upon hearing this, Texas and the others seemed to realize something, and they threw Exusiai and Croissant onto the floor and rushed to the window.

The two, who had fallen and were wincing in pain, didn't bother to complain and quickly followed.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lappland quickly ran out of the apartment building.

However, the other party showed no intention of stopping to wait for them. With its large tail swaying, it ran straight towards the gate of the residential area.

It seemed that the other party sensed their gaze, and their speed suddenly increased dramatically.

"This guy wanted to run away from the very beginning!!"

"Quick, chase after her! Stop her!"

"You think you can run away too, huh?"

"How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air? I'm trying to bring that treacherous guy to justice!"

"Is the phone call going through?"

"It's in progress."

Under everyone's gaze, the phone in Texas's hand was actually answered.

Damn it, this dog has become so arrogant?

Before they could even open their mouths to question her, Jiang Qiu's voice came through the phone.

"Hello? Texas? What's up?"

"???"

Everyone was stunned, staring at Texas with bewildered expressions.

Shouldn't you be calling Lappland? Why are you calling Jiang Qiu?

Texas didn't say much, only gesturing for them to be quiet before asking Jiang Qiu a question—

"Jiang Qiu, did Lappland contact you just now, saying she wanted to come over to visit?"

"Yes, didn't she tell you?"

"The indoor swimming pool in my apartment building will be completed today, and she'll come over to help and have some fun while she's at it."

"Indoors?!"

Croissant's voice rose several octaves.

"An indoor swimming pool, and you can even adjust the water temperature."

"The entire pool is located on the common floor of the apartment building. It's quite spacious, with a performance stage and a surfing area."

"Would you like to come and join us?"

gudu~

Croissant and the others swallowed hard, much to their chagrin.

On one hand, you have to walk endlessly under the scorching sun, as if you're being tortured, and you still might not be able to buy many clothes.

On one side is a newly completed swimming pool that isn't very crowded yet, where you can watch band performances and even surf.

This is fucking a tough decision!

"Please allow us to go and help, and also to prevent Lappland from causing trouble."

Before anyone could speak, Texas was the first to betray them.

Out of friendship, she was willing to accompany Mostima and Remian shopping.

But now she is completely dominated by her instinctive impulses.

Let whoever wants to stroll around this street; I just want to relax and enjoy myself in the pool!

"Sure, I'll send you the address later. Just come over."

"Call me when you arrive, and I'll come pick you up."

After giving a few more instructions, Jiang Qiu hung up the phone.

The remaining Croissant and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, and then rushed to the bedroom with all their might, frantically searching for their swimsuits.

Seeing that these guys were practically mesmerized by the pool, Remian and Mostima couldn't help but sigh, but they had no choice but to cooperate.

"Perfect timing, I can ask about the leg massage later."

"Where did you put the gift I said I'd bring for Jiang Qiu?"

"I'm afraid that Lappland might rummage through it when he's bored and put it in the bookshelf."

"I'll get it."

While Mostima and the others were busy, Jiang Qiu, who had just finished her call, continued to prepare drinks and cucumbers for the busy little kappa masters.

Thanks to their extremely efficient construction, the entire public swimming area is almost complete, with only final repairs and cleaning remaining.

In the spacious swimming pool, Hongxia was carrying a mop and, along with several little kappa, was happily splashing around, scrubbing away the remaining stains on the tiles.

As for Mikasa, she dragged a few deck chairs to the best spot in front of the French windows to sunbathe, and even set up a small round table.

Before she could go to another spot to help the little kappa, she saw Jiang Qiu carrying a large box over from somewhere.

Upon opening it, she was surprised to find it filled with all sorts of inflatable swimming pool toys; she even spotted tanks, missiles, and flying dragons.

"What are you doing?"

“I’ve wanted to play with these things in the pool for a long time, but I haven’t had the chance before.”

"Come on, help me inflate it. I also have a water gun and stuff."

"Is that a water cannon?"

"How can something so small be considered a cannon? A water cannon is a different kind of cannon."

"???"

Mikasa was stunned for a moment, already able to imagine what a scene of gunfire and explosions would follow.

However, she didn't say much, and just continued to pump air into the toys.

In no time, an inflatable tank, nearly half a person's height, was unfolded in front of Mikasa, making her eyelids twitch.

As the inflatable toys inflated one by one, Hong Meiling happened to call Jiang Qiu.

"Young boss, there's a guy named Lappland here looking for you. Do you know him?"

"Just let my friend in; let her swim in the public swimming area."

"Oh"

After Hong Meiling answered, she hung up the phone and then looked at the white dog pawing at the windowsill with a smile.

"Go inside, the young boss is waiting for you on the floor with the floor-to-ceiling windows."

"Okay, thanks."

Lappland couldn't wait to wander inside, its fluffy tail wagging so hard it looked like a helicopter.

As she looked around at the rather clean and tidy environment, her eyes lit up.

The environment here is much better than I imagined. I wonder what Jiang Qiu's home is like. Is it as messy as my own?

While pondering, she arrived at the floor where the indoor swimming pool was located.

Seeing Jiang Qiu fiddling with the inflatable toy, it immediately waved its paw in greeting with a cheerful laugh—

"Hey Jiang Qiu, I'm here!"

"You came pretty fast. I thought it would take an hour or two to arrive."

"It's surprisingly close; it only takes a short taxi ride."

Lappland chuckled and went over to grab the air pump and get to work with it.

Looking at the incredibly spacious swimming pool, she became extremely excited.

Indeed, it was the wisest thing to do to sneak out first!

Chapter 24, Section 25: This is the kind of scenery summer should have.

In the spacious swimming pool that has been cleaned, countless tiles gleam with a clean fluorescence under the lights and sunlight.

As the clear water rushed down, some splashes landed on the white dog lying by the pool.

Its fluffy wolf ears twitched, and its large tail swayed back and forth quite happily.

How long do we need to let this water sit?

"It should be pretty fast."

"Don't you need to disinfect or anything?"

"With the high-tech machines specially designed by Master Xiaohetong and his team, disinfection, water purification, and filtration can all be done at once, saving a lot of trouble."

As Jiang Qiu spoke, he pointed to a large machine that several little kappa were tinkering with in a pit at the edge of the pool in the distance.

As far as he knew, this thing not only had the aforementioned functions, but could even be used to play music and generate electricity.

Lapland became even more excited upon hearing this, as the sooner they could finish, the sooner they could go swimming.

She'd been craving those inflatable tank toys and water cannons for ages!

"The milk tea is here, line up and come one by one."

As Mikasa and Nijika appeared at the door and shouted, they immediately drew everyone's attention.

Amid cheers, the little kappa rushed joyfully toward where Mikasa was.

As they approached, the previously chaotic crowd instantly formed a long, orderly queue.

"Elbow, we also lined up, and everyone prepared milk tea."

"Oh"

The dog stopped watching the pool fill with water and happily followed Jiang Qiu toward the team.
