Nikola nearly flipped out when some random, dark-haired girl popped up right in front of his face. She apparently showed interest in... E.A.R. Well, it was no surprise: he had been asked numerous of times about the particular shoulder-mounted arm. He invented it: so what? It was just a mechanical arm, right?

The inventor had no idea that not many people tended to lug around mechanical arms for their own preferences.

[b]"You seem to be... interested in my superior handiwork,"[/b] the masked man said, reaching out for a new glass to clean. E.A.R. had morphed back into its regular form, which shyly waved at Liam with a pink blush of light emitting out of its palm. It seemed to be glad to receive so much attention from others.

[b]"...And no, you cannot have it. However, when the academy is rebuilt, a special [i]Engineering[/i] class will open. You just might be able to replicate something like this after some practice."[/b]

The mechanical arm whirred, slowly extending itself and entering the kitchen. Nikola simply resumed to washing the glass, hoping that Liam scrammed away. He needed to do his job right at the moment, after all.

The masked inventor, however, was obviously using his job to purposefully not spend time at the beach.

Ryuu kept his smile wide and nice and awesome and-

[i]Why am I just standing around here and smiling? Omg, Ryuu plz...[/i]

But alas, the view at the melon farm, even if he was forcing himself not to look at it, had a powerful presence. So far, he managed not to look at them (again), but he was on the verge of just granting himself the next sight to eternal satisfaction.

Why, however, could this woman not swim? Was it because...?

"...Er, you know," Ryuu said, with an unintentionally devilish grin (he just looked naturally evil to many people), "I can teach you how to swim if you're not good at it! Swimming's easy if you know how to do it, unless there are possible technical errors that could arise during swimming...?"

The otaku wondered if she either just needed help with swimming in general or with some problem involving her body's condition.

An angelic thought of him teaching Anedine how to swim crossed by his head.

Her patch of melons-

Ryuu suddenly covered his nose, still holding that grin of his. He just barely blocked blood from shooting out like two Noah's arks crashing out of clogged pipes. He awaited for Andromeda's answer, and absolutely did his best not to take a peak at the melon field in front of him. He could not tell whether this was torture or not, but either way, he was honestly sort of enjoying the vacation even before he got to do anything special.
