Today, Hong Kong City was bright with sunshine.
The sun was even a bit scorching, completely dispelling the chill of winter, making it impossible to tell that it was currently winter; there was even a feeling of midsummer.
"It's so hot! This Fox is going to melt from the heat!"
Golden Fox lay on the hotel bed wearing only pajamas and panties, her fluffy tail sprawled to one side, completely lacking energy.
Cat Girl's actions were similar, but having less fur, she was in a much better state than the Fox Girl beside her, yet she still stared silently at the hotel's central air conditioning, which had lost power.
..."Tianqing, when do you think this central air conditioning will be fixed?"
"I don't know... It's so hot... I'm going to melt... I'm going to turn into a liquid Fox..."
Golden Fox mumbled to herself, looking as if she was about to suffer from heatstroke.
"It's clearly winter, so why is it so hot?"
"The news says that a very powerful Volcano Monster seems to have appeared in Hawaii, and Red Rose happened to be on vacation there. As a result, the commotion from her fight with the Volcano Monster affected the climate along the entire Pacific coast."
Nan Jiayu pulled out her phone and looked at the headline news.
Su Tianqing also leaned over, but very sensibly straightened her tail and kept it behind her, not daring to touch it again in such hot weather.

"Oh dear, Hawaii is almost flattened! The battle was quite fierce, wasn't it?"
Su Tianqing said in surprise.
The Hawaiian scenic area in the video was almost entirely swallowed by volcanic ash, but fortunately, Red Rose's timely support minimized casualties. It was said there were only casualties at the location where the Volcano Monster appeared.
But upon seeing the mountain-like form of the Volcano Monster, Su Tianqing's understanding of Red Rose's strength reached a whole new level.
Its strength was completely at the level of becoming a Witch, and with the 'Gigantification' attribute, it would only make its Magic even more terrifying.
Monsters are different from Witches; the latter are elites with extremely condensed Magic, capable of contending with Star Shadow, and even possessing a certain degree of higher intelligence.
Monsters in their wild state only possess beastly instincts, but can gain extremely heaven-defying ability enhancements under the blessing of Star Realm Magic, among which the most powerful is 'Gigantification'.
To put it concisely, a Witch's lower limit is very high, but her upper limit is slightly restricted.
While a Monster has an extremely low lower limit, like a mere minion, its strength lies in its ability to stack attributes, reaching a terrifyingly high upper limit.
Su Tianqing couldn't imagine how terrifying Red Rose's true strength was, to be able to fight a battle that affected the entire ocean's weather.
"In any case, this weather will last for at least a week, so let's prepare for a brief summer."
"Waaahhhhhhh—" Fox Fox's wail echoed in the hotel.
.
With the central air conditioning gone, staying in the hotel was no longer meaningful.
So, it was time to go shopping!
From Causeway Bay to Tsim Sha Tsui, then from the Wax Museum to Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong City, for an abnormal winter day trip in Hong Kong City!
But when she actually arrived on the street, Su Tianqing realized an important issue:
"Even the streets are hot."
Leaving the entrance of a long-queued Mixue Bingcheng store, Su Tianqing held a strawberry sundae in her hand and said to the Cat Girl beside her, who was holding a matcha ice cream cone.
"Slurp... Yes, everyone had prepared for winter, who would have thought such a thing would happen?"
"This weather shouldn't last for many days. I hope things will be better when we return to Rong City."
"Is that so...?"
Su Tianqing mumbled to herself, looking up ahead.
A rather comical scene appeared on the streets of Hong Kong City—
Clothing stores sold down jackets and coats, Scarves and plush hats hanging in the grocery store, and appliance stores displayed advertisements and notices for electric heaters.
But the pedestrians on the street were dressed very lightly:
Short sleeves and shorts, halter dresses and sun hats; as for winter boots and leather shoes, they were nowhere to be seen, all were breathable and airy sandals and sneakers, each one cooler than the last.
Su Tianqing could already imagine the desolate feelings of the shop assistants by the roadside.
..."By the way, Xiaoyu, do you know?"
"Hmm?"
"In this hot season, Xiaoyu, do you know what the most appropriate activity is?"
..."What is it?"
"Hehehe... That would naturally be—"
...
"Sunshine!"
"Beach!"
"And... the sea!!"
Golden Fox stood happily on the beach, her fox tail wagging like an electric fan.
Nan Jiayu wore a rather simple racing swimsuit, her gaze involuntarily shifting to the Golden Fox beside her.
But it would quickly move away, pretending nothing had happened.
"It's true, this weather is perfect for coming to the beach," Nan Jiayu whispered.
"Right, right, let's just pretend we're experiencing a brief summer~"
Su Tianqing said with a smile, leaning slightly forward and tilting her head to look at the somewhat shy Cat Girl beside her.
Then she lightly bounced two steps, turned around on the beach, and faced the Cat Girl carrying a surfboard.
"This is the swimsuit you picked, Xiaoyu, does it look good?"
..."Very, very good."
Nan Jiayu looked up and down at the smiling Golden Fox in front of her, her tail almost forming a circle behind her, nodding slightly nervously.
"Mm-hmm~ Specifically, what parts look good?"
The exclusive beast-kin swimsuit worn by Fox Girl, with her tail peeking out from the reserved spot on the swim skirt, the golden two-piece swimsuit outlined a youthful waist curve, her toes making several grooves in the sand. Although she wore a thin sun-protective jacket, it couldn't hide her charm.
But other than the girl's flat and tender stomach, Nan Jiayu's gaze could never move away from that swaying tail.
"Well... everything looks good."
"Oh my, saying something like that is cheating."
"But it really does look good."
"Hmph hmph~ Then I'll forgive you~"
Fox Girl happily bounced back to Cat Girl's side, casually linked her arm through hers, and walked towards the beach full of tourists not far away.
...
Meanwhile, somewhere on the beach.
Nan Xiaofeng took off her sunglasses from the bridge of her nose and gazed intently at the boundless blue sea before her.
"Oh oh oh oh it's the sea oh oh oh oh—"
"Xiaofeng, don't shout like a gorilla."
"Anyway, I just really want to shout a few times!"
Lin Muyao sighed but let Nan Xiaofeng beside her release her excitement to her heart's content.
Nan Xiaofeng looked at the sea, trying to compose herself, but she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.
This was her first time seeing the sea!
As for why Hyacinth Squad came to Hong Kong City to see the sea... the specific reason was Xin Yuehu.
The Xin Yuehu trio suddenly appeared in Hong Kong City last night, attacking Hai Lan Shi, and also made a series of attack predictions and dangerous statements, prompting the Hong Kong Hero Association to urgently request assistance, which is why they asked Nan Xiaofeng, who was just about to return to Rong City, for help.
So, the group naturally came to Hong Kong City. Mai Sui even called some of her teammates, seemingly thinking that travel could improve team relations.
"In any case, let's fully enjoy the beach today, and then deal with Xin Yuehu and her group tonight."
Nan Xiaofeng put her hands on her hips, making arrangements as the captain.
Hua Ling chuckled and nodded in agreement, her gaze fixed on the beach and the sea, relaxing in the rare winter sun.
Then, the girl's gaze seemed to catch a deep blue Cat Girl passionately surfing on the sea, riding a surfboard.
Hmm? Jiayu Jie?
