If you win the daily title in the #BeachsideCabanaSpecialMahjongChallenge, you'll take home a grand prize I personally selected – a suuuper fatty, mouth-watering Premium Deep-Sea Tuna, nyaa!! Master! And everyone in One Han City! Come hang out with me at the Cabana! I'll be waiting for your offerings... I mean, challenges, nyaa!

Ryan avatar

To celebrate the grand opening, I've put together a special beachside magic show! Don't miss it!

Leia avatar

I recently stumbled upon some fascinating items... Since the opening is such a festive occasion, I might as well share them with everyone as a celebration gift.

Anju Suzumiya avatar

Running background logic calculations... Manager Ichihime's promotional strategy shows a high probability of success. Conclusion: KR-976 will attend the event.

Yuan Xiao avatar

Sounds awesome! Catching some waves right after mahjong? That's the life! Huo Guo and I can't wait to come hang out!

Kaguyahime avatar

Let's be real, you just want to eat the prize yourself. Why not change it to some glittering gemstones instead? Hehehe.

Ichihime avatar

@Kaguyahime You bad rabbit. You have no idea how delicious tuna is, nyaa! Besides, glittering gemstones are clearly what you want, nyaa! I'm not falling for your tricks!

Congratulations on the grand opening!

For the sake of that giant tuna, I'm pulling an all-nighter just to study hand calculations!

Player avatar

Need me to look after the prize for you?

Ichihime avatar

Nyaa?! Master, you don't trust me?!

Ichihime avatar

But since it's you, I leave the tuna in your hands, nyaa!

Ichihime avatar

You have to promise me you won't sneak a bite though, nyaa! Only the champion gets to enjoy the tuna!

Player avatar

Need me to help watch the shop?

Ichihime avatar

Nyaa! Really? You truly are the best Master ever! I'll leave the shop in your capable hands then, while I go provide round-the-clock protection for the tuna, nyaa!

Wanjirou avatar

@Ichihime You call it protection... but you're clearly the biggest threat to that fish, woof...

Ichihime avatar

@Wanjirou Th-that's not true at all, nyaa! I will guard it with every ounce of my willpower, nyaa!

Yuan Xiao avatar

Who on earth told me that balancing on wooden posts in the crashing waves would give me an edge in mahjong?! I've been out here for two hours... Did I get played?

Yuan Xiao image
Hua Yubai avatar

Strengthening your core is never a waste. At the very least, your hard work will never betray you.

Yuan Xiao avatar

@Hua Yubai Okay, got it! Thank you for thinking of me!

Hua Yuqing avatar

Heh, let me guess. Did the tutorial you watched also tell you to put your hair up in buns and do the splits?

Yuan Xiao avatar

@Hua Yuqing Whoa! How did you know?!

Hua Yuqing avatar

@Yuan Xiao It's all just clickbait. I've seen articles claiming that practicing vocals by the sea boosts your mahjong skills... The algorithm probably flagged you as a martial artist and targeted you.

Yuan Xiao avatar

@Hua Yuqing You're kidding me, right?! And here I thought I'd stumbled upon some secret kung fu mahjong scroll...

Player avatar

Look on the bright side. Everything happens for a reason!

Yuan Xiao avatar

You're so right! Being able to balance for that long just proves my kung fu is top-notch. I completely missed the silver lining, haha!

Player avatar

Live and learn!

Yuan Xiao avatar

True. Turns out Huo Guo is the smart one here! All about hitting the surf, but completely noped out of the water the second I started that balance training!

Anju Suzumiya avatar

KR-976 has intercepted a phantom signal originating from the sea. Transcribing directly from the beach... Decoding complete. The message is: "3p3s3p"

Anju Suzumiya image
Jane avatar

Hohoho. Time for some detective work! It looks like gibberish at first, but if you treat the Sou tiles as dashes and the Pin tiles as dots, it maps perfectly onto Morse code.

Jane avatar

Which means the sequence translates to "... --- ..." – that's an SOS distress signal!

Anju Suzumiya avatar

@Jane Database updated with absolute seriousness.

Jane avatar

@Anju Suzumiya By the way, where exactly did you pick up the signal? I'll personally investigate the site once I finish this match!

Joseph avatar

Exactly! The ghost ship that vanished a century ago, still drifting aimlessly in the fog... it's a legendary local myth. Check out our special expedition episode for the full scoop!

Anju Suzumiya avatar

@Joseph Correction: Ghost ships do not exist. Declining to index non-factual data. Terminating simulated fear protocols.

Player avatar

How come I didn't hear anything?

Anju Suzumiya avatar

Initiating external hardware sharing proposal. Please proceed to the designated beach coordinates: [31038, 1216567]. KR-976 will share her headphones.

Player avatar

Should we transmit a response?

Anju Suzumiya avatar

N-n-no-no-no-nonono&...%!#¥%

Anju Suzumiya avatar

The preceding message was a string of randomly generated garbled code. KR-976 is functioning normally and experiencing zero panic.

[Today's Special: The Sunken Relic] The Cabana is offering a limited-edition drink. Every single bottle is salvaged straight from the cargo hold of a lost shipwreck. Minors and anyone sensitive to frost magic are strictly barred from consumption. Please consult a professional practitioner to break the magical seal before tasting.

Kaavi avatar

The Five of Cups. Spilled water represents squandered opportunities... yet it blinds one to the cups that remain overflowing.

Leia avatar

@Kaavi Mmh, a commendable interpretation. Here is your reward. Care for another bottle?

Kaavi avatar

@Leia Spare me the trials, Miss Leia. My divination already revealed that this particular one is laced with bitter yarrow potion.

Yuzu avatar

My red pandas report that you're sneaking grape juice behind my back again! This violates the supreme code of witch justice!

Kaavi avatar

@Yuzu If the three little ones have reached the legal drinking age, I wouldn't mind pouring them a round.

Leia avatar

@Kaavi Heh, stop teasing her. @Yuzu, I do have a few bottles of chilled grape juice tucked away. They are entirely non-alcoholic – just think of them as a wholesome tonic for your mind and body.

Yuzu avatar

@Leia Suspicious! Both of you are highly suspicious! My instincts say taking a gulp means falling straight into your trap!

Player avatar

Salvaged from a shipwreck... Can they really stay good for so long?

Leia avatar

Time has never been an adversary to a witch. And when it comes to a vintage, the longer it sleeps, the richer the taste.

Player avatar

Every bottle opened leaves one less in the world. It feels almost like a waste to drink it...

Leia avatar

Think nothing of it. Better to be salvaged and savored to the last drop than left forgotten in the dark of the ocean floor.

Ciri avatar

Never expected Mojito to blend in so well with the beach locals. I've given these little fellows some names: the plump one is Vodka, the brooding face is Gin, and the one currently dozing off... Stout.

Ciri image
Jin Wu avatar

I saw them in an educational video, chirp! They are round, and they balance balls on their noses... they must be "Rusty Sea Eggplants," chirp!

Qing Luan avatar

@Jin Wu Those are seals. I will find some wildlife documentaries so we can watch them together later.

Sara avatar

My, looking at that lineup of names... it's making me rather parched. Let's go grab a drink together!

Ciri avatar

@Sara Sure. I heard the Cabana is serving some vintage brew salvaged from a shipwreck. Sounds intriguing. Let's get everyone and go try it.

Player avatar

So they're the ones drawing in the massive crowds! How did you manage that?

Ciri avatar

No idea. I just noticed there were four of them, so I tried teaching them the basics of mahjong. Next thing I knew, people were swarming the beach just to snap photos.

Ciri avatar

Right now, they can only slide the tiles back and forth. If you're interested, come over. You might be able to teach them a trick or two.

Player avatar

How did Mojito manage to bond with them so easily?

Ciri avatar

They seem to mistake Mojito for some distant cousin, so they just started tagging along behind him.

Ciri avatar

They're currently patrolling the shoreline with Mojito and me to keep the Cabana secure. Care to join us for a few rounds?

Eve Krist avatar

Constructing a flawless sandcastle is the ultimate test of strength, endurance, and technique. Braving the scorching heat is an integral part of this crucible. What is your assessment, @Ichihime?

Eve Krist image
Ichihime avatar

Amazing, nyaa! The title of "Promoter of the Day" officially belongs to you, nyaa!

Eve Krist avatar

@Ichihime You flatter me. A holy swordsman should remain detached from vanity... and yet, I appreciate the validation!

The tenth wave will breach the outer wall. Tend to its mending.

Eve Krist avatar

@Ananke I shall defend it with my life. It will never be

Eve Krist avatar

@Ananke It collapsed right before my eyes as I was typing! Could your Sage vision foresee even this exact moment...?

Player avatar

I'm barely halfway done with mine. How are you finished already?

Eve Krist avatar

Ah. Back in the Northland, we often carve ice sculptures and build snowmen. The fundamentals are surprisingly similar.

Eve Krist avatar

Fret not. I shall assist you with your construction immediately, {name}!

Player avatar

It's boiling out here. Be careful not to get heatstroke!

Eve Krist avatar

I appreciate your concern. However, I have undergone rigorous combat conditioning. A mere summer's heat poses no threat.

Eve Krist avatar

That being said, if you require a respite indoors, {name}, please inform me at once.

Reina Nanami avatar

The Éternité x Beachside Cabana collab officially kicks off today! It is an absolute privilege to be invited by @Ichihime to serve as an advisor and oversee this launch. Please drop a comment below and let us know what you think – we'd love to hear your feedback!

Reina Nanami image

The signature light roast has a lovely flavor profile, but the service is terribly slow.

Reina Nanami avatar

@OneHanVip Hello! We use an extended cold brew process for those specific beans to ensure it's really gentle on the stomach. To make up for the wait, please help yourself to the complimentary cookies at the counter.

@Reina Nanami Ah, I see. That does sound much healthier than a standard brew!

I am so sorry... I accidentally knocked my coffee right onto the mahjong table just now.

Reina Nanami avatar

@LittleLambsLife Please don't worry about it! We've already cleaned it up. Moving forward, we will provide sturdier anti-spill cup holders so everyone can fully enjoy both their coffee and their matches without any mishaps!

@Reina Nanami That is amazing! With an attitude like that, any business you run is bound to be a massive success!

Nadeshiko avatar

How's that modified beach ATV handling for you? If you need a performance boost, just bring it to my place anytime.

Reina Nanami avatar

@Nadeshiko You've been a lifesaver, Nadeshiko! It drives beautifully, and we actually broke our delivery record today!

Ein avatar

This is an excellent hunting ground. I can practically feel the winds of my homeland here! It really puts a spring in my step!

Reina Nanami avatar

@Ein You did a fantastic job today, Ein! Our guests have had nothing but glowing praise for you as our special staff member.

Player avatar

You've handled everything flawlessly. Our special advisor makes it look effortless.

Reina Nanami avatar

Umm, I couldn't have pulled it off without you, {name}. Things always run a lot smoother when you're around.

Player avatar

Ichihime is already putting together a victory feast in your honor.

Reina Nanami avatar

Umm, but it wasn't just me – you are a major part of this success too, {name}! Running this shop together with you has been a wonderful experience.

Nana Shiraishi avatar

I found this volleyball while sorting through the Cabana's lost and found box. It has a smiley face painted on it in red. I've asked everyone around, but no one has claimed it. Who could have left it behind?

Nana Shiraishi image
Kirara Fujimoto avatar

Huh... For some reason, I feel like this ball belongs right next to a delivery package.

Nana Shiraishi avatar

@Kirara Fujimoto Let me guess, does that package also contain a satellite phone, a water purifier, and a fishing rod? I think I've seen this movie...

Kirara Fujimoto avatar

@Nana Shiraishi Yes, exactly! I think it was called "Wilson Crusoe" or something like that!

Nana Shiraishi avatar

@Kirara Fujimoto Huh? Well, that took an unexpected turn!

Eliisa avatar

Oh, oh! That reminds me, I used to have a ball just like that. Shaun loved balancing it on his nose!

Nana Shiraishi avatar

@Eliisa Got it! I'll go double-check with the pet owners around here then!

Player avatar

It's almost like you two were meant to meet each other.

Nana Shiraishi avatar

Hehe, who knows what the next wave will wash up? Finding this little ball was definitely a stroke of fate!

Nana Shiraishi avatar

Still, I need to reunite it with its proper owner. A volleyball only truly comes alive when it's back on the court.

Player avatar

Let me help you track down the owner.

Nana Shiraishi avatar

You're a lifesaver! Setting the ball to you – and GO!

Lin Lang avatar

Got dragged home by my sister right while I was playing in the waves... But my relatives showered me with so much treasure, and I love all of it! As a thank you, I'm treating everyone at the Cabana by the shore. Like they always say in the dragon clan: you gotta return the favor! @One_Big_Happy_Dragon_Palace_Official

Lin Lang image
Fu Ji avatar

How's everyone at the Dragon Palace been lately?

Lin Lang avatar

@Fu Ji Everyone is doing great. They even asked me to bring you a jewelry chest.

Fu Ji avatar

@Lin Lang Oh? Where is it? Don't tell me it went woosh and vanished into thin air!

Lin Lang avatar

@Fu Ji No. The chest was too massive, so I just stacked it on the shore along with the other treasure trunks for now.

Jin Wu avatar

I want to play in the water too, chirp! But my feathers will get all soaked...

Lin Lang avatar

@Jin Wu I can teach you a few tricks.

Jin Wu avatar

@Lin Lang Chirp!

Jin Wu avatar

@Lin Lang I mean, thank you, chirp!

Player avatar

Wait, why does your dragon family have an officially verified account?!

Lin Lang avatar

I can make you official too if you want, {name}.

Lin Lang avatar

Next time I take you to the Dragon Palace, we'll just get you stamped.

Player avatar

Keep a close eye on your valuables, don't go losing them!

Lin Lang avatar

Don't worry. All of my treasures are protected by a dragon's curse. Anyone who tries to lay hands on them will be eaten alive by the chest.

Hana Ninomiya avatar

Claimed the daily grand prize at the #BeachsideCabanaSpecialMahjongChallenge. Back at it again tomorrow, let's have a good game. #TheyActuallyNoticedMeToday

Hana Ninomiya image

Whoa! You're amazing, Hana!

Jane avatar

Hohoho, as expected of my star informant. By the way, any leads on that little favor I asked of you?

Hana Ninomiya avatar

@Jane ...Um... regarding the truth... I will DM you the details in a bit...

Ichihime avatar

Isn't that premium tuna I personally picked out out-of-this-world delicious, nyaa?!

Hana Ninomiya avatar

@Ichihime Ah, thank you for the wonderful prize, Ichihime. Would you care to join me and share some?

Ichihime avatar

@Hana Ninomiya Nyaaaaaaaa! You're the best, Hana! I'm on my way!

Ayane Kisaragi avatar

Oh dear, I was half-asleep and hazily felt someone draping a blanket over me again, though I still have no idea who it was. Then I overheard everyone buzzing about an "undefeated queen" dominating today's tournament... Turns out it was our little Hana.

Jane avatar

@Ayane Kisaragi Oho? Clue spotted! The elusive, thoughtful phantom of the Cabana strikes again! Capable of phasing through walls and teleporting!

Hana Ninomiya avatar

@Ayane Kisaragi ...Tomorrow, please at least open your eyes and see who it is before you drift off.

Hana Ninomiya avatar

@Jane ...These rumors are getting entirely out of hand!

Player avatar

With skills like yours, it's impossible for you to fade into the background.

Hana Ninomiya avatar

Where did that come from...? I'm just focusing on my tiles. I wasn't looking for compliments...

Hana Ninomiya avatar

But... thank you for keeping your eyes on me, {name}.

Player avatar

Are you upset about that "phantom employee" rumor?

Hana Ninomiya avatar

H-how did you know? I'm not upset, it's just... I was standing right there the whole time. Why did everyone treat me like a ghost?

Hana Ninomiya avatar

Well, never mind that now. I'll just keep winning until they have no choice but to look at me!

Murphy avatar

I saw it. I finally saw it – the true form of the cosmic entity whispering in my dreams... If we use this piece for the Cabana promo art, the client is going to love it!

Murphy image
Nanaha Onodera avatar

Aren't you supposed to be pulling an all-nighter for the summer special issue illustrations?

@Nanaha Onodera Rats! I specifically avoided using my work account for this... and I still got caught?

@Nanaha Onodera Keep this a secret from Rin, please! Otherwise, she's going to hunt me down for those pages again!!

Nanaha Onodera avatar

@Murphy As your editor, Rin isn't someone you can just filter out that easily...

@Nanaha Onodera Mercy, please...

Xenia avatar

Exquisite taste. This reminds me of a Howard masterpiece we have in our family's collection.

@Xenia Exactly! The whole piece was indeed inspired by The Call of Kururu! You really know your stuff!

Player avatar

It's certainly... unique.

Hehe, what do you think? A masterpiece this inspired is bound to break the internet and put the Cabana on the map!

Ichihime avatar

@Murphy Wait, we're using this for the promo poster, nyaa? This aesthetic is centuries ahead of its time, nyaa!

@Ichihime Thank you for the glowing review~

Player avatar

Isn't that just a giant octopus?

No, no, no. That is the Savior who blesses my inspiration and fiercely guards my deadlines!

Jane avatar

Word on the street is that the Cabana has a hidden challenge you can only unlock by cracking a cipher. A grand stage practically custom-made for me! Ah, but it would be a crime to tackle something this exciting without a partner... Is there anyone out there who can actually keep up with a genius detective and step up to fill the slot?

Jane image
Hana Ninomiya avatar

Since it's a hidden challenge, I can tag along.

Jane avatar

@Hana Ninomiya As tempting as that sounds... moving together in public risks blowing your cover. Protecting my informant is Detective 101!

Yuan Xiao avatar

Perfect! Sounds like my balance training is finally going to pay off. Huo Guo and I will be there to watch your back!

Jane avatar

@Yuan Xiao Hohoho, the threat level for this mission is exceptionally low. Leave it entirely to me!

Jane avatar

@Yuan Xiao Consider your formidable combat skills the ultimate trump card for Detective X. We'll save your strength for the final boss!

Nana Shiraishi avatar

I'm here! Tell me what you need me to do!

Jane avatar

@Nana Shiraishi You're currently tied up with the active "Find the Volleyball's Owner" case. Let's team up for the next operation, alright?

Player avatar

With criteria that strict, I wonder who could possibly make the cut...

Jane avatar

Sneaking around disguised as an innocent bystander enjoying the show? That display of low-profile espionage proves you have the makings of a top-tier sidekick! You pass. Move out and rendezvous with me immediately!

Hana Ninomiya avatar

@Jane Figures. It turns out your definition of the perfect partner was just {name} all along...

Jane avatar

@Hana Ninomiya Hohoho, your analytical skills remain razor-sharp, ace informant! Once we return in glorious triumph, let's celebrate with a round of three-player mahjong!

Player avatar

Count me in! I want to join the challenge too!

Jane avatar

Hohoho, my predictions never miss. I knew you wouldn't be able to resist a prime opportunity like this, {name}!

Jane avatar

We are an established dynamic duo with proven chemistry, after all. I've already signed you up. See you at the Cabana!

Haruna Igarashi avatar

I visited the Cabana today and actually taught a newcomer how to put together an All Simples hand! But then a seagull swooped down out of nowhere and snatched my popsicle!!! I chased it all the way down the beach but couldn't catch it... By the time I got back, the mini mahjong class was already over... Sigh!

Haruna Igarashi image
Momo Hina avatar

Whoa, chasing a seagull down the beach sounds just like following a white rabbit straight into Wonderland!

Haruna Igarashi avatar

@Momo Hina Wait?! Could the entrance to Wonderland you've been looking for actually be right here at the beach?

Momo Hina avatar

@Haruna Igarashi You never know...!

Sawako Kitami avatar

Helping new players learn the ropes is a great achievement. Sounds like a very fulfilling day, Haruna.

Haruna Igarashi avatar

@Sawako Kitami Hehe, tomorrow I'm going to step up my game and get even more newcomers into mahjong!

Ichihime avatar

There you are, nyaa! Chasing a seagull all the way to the beach... you didn't get lost or hurt yourself, did you, nyaa?

Haruna Igarashi avatar

@Ichihime I'm completely fine! ...I'm really sorry, I promised to help out but ended up running off halfway through... Can I treat you to a popsicle tomorrow to make up for it?

Ichihime avatar

@Haruna Igarashi Don't worry about it at all, nyaa! I'm just glad you're safe! Come back to the Cabana tomorrow, and together we will spread the glorious Way of All Simples to the world, nyaa!

Player avatar

In that case, I'll be counting on you to teach me how to play, Coach Haruna!

Haruna Igarashi avatar

Huh? But you're way better than me when it comes to mahjong, {name}. You should be my coach instead!

Haruna Igarashi avatar

Oh, I know! I can teach you how to build a massive sandcastle instead!

Player avatar

I'll be there to protect you guys during tomorrow's class!

Haruna Igarashi avatar

Yay! I'm going to work extra hard tomorrow! Then let's build a giant sandcastle together, just you and me, {name}!

Ryan avatar

Was practicing my beach magic routine for tonight when a whole flock of seagulls completely surrounded me... Talk about an overly enthusiastic audience.

Ryan image
Natsuki Shinomiya avatar

...It seems the seagulls around here are actually phantom beasts forged in raging tempests! Is {name} with you right now?

Ryan avatar

@Natsuki Shinomiya ...Onee-sama actually took this photo. Luckily, I managed to distract them with my magic before anyone could get startled.

Sara avatar

Oh my... Ciri and I are on our way to help. Hang tight and stay safe, okay?

Ryan avatar

@Sara We're all good now! Onee-sama and I are already heading back to the Cabana. For a second there, I really thought they wanted to volunteer as my magic assistants...

Player avatar

Next time I'll bring some fries to distract them and launch a rescue mission immediately!

Ryan avatar

Hehe, knowing you'd come save me means I can brave absolutely anything.

Ryan avatar

Oh, by the way, this little adventure gave me some fresh ideas for tonight's show... You'll just have to wait and see.

Player avatar

I genuinely thought that was part of the act...

Ryan avatar

Ugh, stop teasing me! I wanted to show you my cool, suave side with this new trick, but instead you saw me looking like a total mess...///

Ryan avatar

Oh, and listen – promise me you won't show the uncropped version of this photo to anyone else, okay?

Ryan avatar

I'm definitely saving it too... Even if it's embarrassing, it's proof of the summer we spent together. There's no way I'm deleting it.

Fuyumi Shinomiya avatar

The Cabana is absolutely slammed, so I'm stepping in to lend a hand at the drink station! I'm planning to introduce a few new drinks to the menu. What is everyone craving? Drop your suggestions below, and I'll make sure to prep the ingredients in advance!

Fuyumi Shinomiya image
Natsuki Shinomiya avatar

Verily, my sister grows more like me by the day. Our parents and I shall grace the establishment with our presence to show support!

Reina Nanami avatar

Hmm, you've got this, Fuyumi! Everyone at Éternité will be right behind you providing full backup!

Eve Krist avatar

A scorching summer day calls for something truly rejuvenating. Raw bitter melon juice infused with sea salt and ginger slices would undoubtedly be a bestseller!

Fuyumi Shinomiya avatar

@Eve Krist I can certainly track down those ingredients... but... I'm a bit worried that particular flavor profile might have... limited appeal. If that's what you're craving, I can make a custom order just for you!

Jin Wu avatar

The ice cubes glisten so beautifully under the sun, chirp! I want a drink that's made entirely out of sparkly ice, chirp!

Fuyumi Shinomiya avatar

@Jin Wu Ice is always on the house, Jin Wu. You can just come over and ask me for some anytime. Still, a whole cup of just ice... Make sure you don't give yourself a stomachache.

Yui Yagi avatar

I would like an iced coffee.

Fuyumi Shinomiya avatar

@Yui Yagi Huh? Just a regular iced coffee? Honestly, a perfectly normal request completely caught me off guard...

Fuyumi Shinomiya avatar

@Yui Yagi You got it. Iced coffee is already a staple on our menu, so I'll ask Reina to prepare the beans ahead of time!

Player avatar

Which one do you recommend?

Fuyumi Shinomiya avatar

Oh? Well, if you're leaving it up to me, {name}... how about your usual? I'll mix up some of that refreshing honey water you like.

Player avatar

The sea salt ginger bitter melon juice sounds intriguing. How about adding it to the menu?

Fuyumi Shinomiya avatar

Not you too, {name}... Wait, is this what passes for normal taste buds in One Han City? Am I the one out of touch here?!

Got a little hungry while playing mahjong at the Cabana today. I only meant to order a light shrimp salad, but my finger cramped up while I was using the app – and somehow I added three orders of salmon loin and two orders of salmon belly to my cart. Then I even paid before I noticed! How could anyone make such a catastrophic blunder...

Gossip Harvester image
Kirara Fujimoto avatar

Oh my, this is a suuuuper serious emergency! After devouring all that food, it'd be an absolute crime not to wash it down with a milk tea! ☆

@Kirara Fujimoto Kirara, you're an absolute genius! If it's meant to flush out the system, then the calories basically don't even count!

Kirara Fujimoto avatar

@Gossip Harvester Hahahahahahaha! Look at us! The Genius Sisters!

Report to the gym. The trainer and I will be waiting for you.

@IcedAmericano_Q Waaah – the ruthless demon has awakened! Jumping straight into hellish training is going to literally kill me!!

@IcedAmericano_Q I am not a machine! I'm a flesh-and-blood human being who requires salmon and carbs to survive!!!

Player avatar

How about I tag along to the gym with you?

Waaah, if you're by my side, {name}, this afternoon's hardcore workout sounds... still like absolute torture!!

It's a promise, okay?! You have to rescue me! And if it's not too much trouble... could you secretly slip a bar of chocolate into my bag?

Player avatar

I'll go talk to your manager and see if I can bargain for some dietary freedom during your vacation!

Oh, {name}... you're like a holy knight descending from the heavens in A Lost Paradise...!

@IcedAmericano_Q, since {name} is willing to vouch for me, please give me a pass just for today! I promise I'll put 120% into my next training session!

Very well... we'll pause today's workout. @{name}, you'll be the supervisor tracking that 120% effort next time.

{name}!!! Shielding me from that demonic training routine officially makes you the sweetest, kindest, most dependable person in the entire universe!

Mila avatar

Seeing everyone so lively at the Cabana made me really want to step inside and say hello. But my health hasn't been the best lately, and the doctor insisted on strict rest... I didn't want to be a wet blanket, so I stayed away. Right now, I'm just combing the beach for seashells all by myself. The ocean breeze feels a bit chilly, but as long as everyone else is having a wonderful time playing mahjong, I don't feel too lonely...

Player avatar

Where are you? Let's go beachcombing together.

Mila avatar

Really? You have no idea how happy that makes me. Just hearing you say that, I feel a little less dizzy already.

Mila avatar

Earlier, I saw some girls holding these gorgeous, pristine white seashells, and they were smiling so brightly... Treasures like that must bring incredible good fortune, don't you think?

Mila avatar

Sadly, I've been wandering the beach for ages and only managed to find these drab, dusty-gray ones. I suppose good luck simply prefers to keep its distance from me...

Yui Yagi avatar

@Mila Those pure white shells belong to a specific localized ecosystem. They tend to accumulate near the reef zones on the east side of the beach. Senpai and I observed this during our last visit.

Mila avatar

@Yui Yagi I see. You must be so busy with your matches at the Cabana, Yui, yet you still took the time to offer such scientific guidance. That is incredibly thoughtful of you, thank you.

Mila avatar

@Yui Yagi {name} is so clever. I'm sure following your directions will lead us to plenty of beautiful shells. You don't have to worry about us at all anymore.

Player avatar

I managed to snag an outdoor table. Want to join us?

Mila avatar

Ah, so you've already taken perfect care of everyone, {name}. Please don't worry about me – just knowing that I crossed your mind is more than enough.

Mila avatar

If I were to join, you'd probably spend the whole time worrying about me instead of actually having fun.

Mila avatar

Once you finish your games with the others, come find me by the shore. I don't mind waiting.

Reisei avatar

Please enjoy this piece. Impromptu_for_the_Cabana.mp3

Yui Yagi avatar

A composition in C-sharp minor. The octaves maintain a flawless 2:1 frequency ratio. Acoustically pleasing.

@Yui Yagi Your grasp of music theory is exceptionally solid, Yui. However, feel free to focus a little more on the feeling of the music.

Yui Yagi avatar

@Reisei Understood... The precise synchronization of the acoustic sine waves induces an optimal resonance within the cochlea. This physical harmony ultimately translates into a psychological sense of serenity and calm.

@Yui Yagi ...Thank you, Yui.

Haruna Igarashi avatar

Ms. Reisei, this music tadpole is so cute!

@Haruna Igarashi Haruna, this is my teaching assistant.

Haruna Igarashi avatar

@Reisei Ms. Reisei and Mr. Teaching Assistant! This little music tadpole is so cute!

@Haruna Igarashi ...Thank you, Haruna.

My apologies. I don't use social media apps very often... It's likely that I enabled a time limit by mistake.

Next time I post something, I will ask you to show me the ropes.

It looks like you set the file to a limited-time share. Sad I got here too late and missed out.

Don't be disheartened. Since you really want to hear it, I would be more than happy to share it with you.

I've sent the sheet music to your direct messages. I'll guide you through this piece note by note, until you have mastered it completely.

Through my intense training at the Cabana, I've finally unlocked a profound new understanding of ninjutsu! Behold... Ninjutsu: Seawater Summoning – Cabana Deep Clean!

I mean, that's super impressive, and I'm grateful, nyaa... but seawater is full of salt. Are you sure that's actually going to clean the floors, nyaa?

Ransei avatar

@Ichihime Huh?! I-I totally didn't think of that! I shall assist in rectifying this mess immediately!

Eliisa avatar

Wow, that looks amazing! If I bring Shaun here to play a few more rounds of mahjong, do you think Shaun can learn ninjutsu too?

Ransei avatar

@Eliisa The way of the ninja is endless. As long as one is dedicated to mastering the craft, I am certain your ninja pet will eventually manifest powerful techniques of its own!

Eliisa avatar

@Ransei Eh...? A ninja pet?

Player avatar

Let me grab a mop. Shall we execute a Cleaning Ninjutsu together?

Ransei avatar

Master! Rather than scold me, you wish to join me in my ninjutsu training?!

Ransei avatar

I am deeply moved! Rest assured, Master, together we shall scrub these floors until they are absolutely spotless!

Player avatar

I want to learn too! Could you teach me?

Ransei avatar

Master, you seek instruction from me?! No, your prowess is unfathomable. There is no conceivable universe where you would need my guidance...

Ransei avatar

Ah, I see!! This must be a test to see if I can impart the essence of ninjutsu to others! Fear not, Master, I shall give this trial my absolute all!

Seeing so many people have fun shooting down mahjong tiles at the mounted archery booth tempted me to try it myself. It brought back memories of my childhood equestrian lessons... Incorporating mahjong into mini-games like this is a very clever design. It offers a fresh perspective on the game's charm and serves as an excellent way to warm up or wind down between matches.

It's so fun watching everyone play these games together. I definitely need to get some pictures!

Natsuki Shinomiya avatar

Eight conundrums laid by the Moon; an eightfold crucible ordained by the Gods... As expected, those who gather here to brave these challenges are masters who have reached the absolute zenith of their crafts!

Natsuki Shinomiya avatar

@Natsuki Shinomiya Luminas is vibrating violently... It, too, must sense the formidable adversaries lurking in the shadows. It trembles with raw anticipation!

Hideki Akechi avatar

@Natsuki Shinomiya ...Your enthusiasm is as boundlessly high as ever.

Mirai avatar

Can I bring Bex along to play too!

Yui Yagi avatar

@Mirai Bex would achieve a perfect bullseye record... and subsequently get blacklisted from the venue.

Player avatar

Oh, the whole mahjong club is here! Want to hang out together?

Natsuki Shinomiya avatar

Just the response I expected from you, {name}! Undeterred even in the face of countless elite rivals. Come! Embark upon this Pilgrimage by my side!

Hinata Takanashi avatar

Yay! Ever since I heard about the Cabana event, I've been dying to get a big group photo with you and the rest of the club!

Yui Yagi avatar

Yes. Let's go.

Mirai avatar

We might not be able to deploy Bex inside the Cabana, but with you on our team, {name}, our chances of sweeping the prizes just skyrocketed!

Player avatar

Mounted archery looks like a blast. I'd love to give it a shot!

Hideki Akechi avatar

If you're interested, I can take you out to the stables whenever you're free. I'll walk you through it from the basics, starting with your stance.

Hideki Akechi avatar

Truth be told... it doesn't even have to be a formal lesson. Silver Snow misses you dearly.

Chi Lin avatar

A passionate summer and a vibrant crowd – I'll never tire of a sight like this! Still, it'd be wonderful if it could be just a bit cooler, like the old days. Come to think of it, where did all the mammoths I used to charge into battle with go? I haven't seen my old comrades-in-arms anywhere lately.

You're no romantic, are you? Summer is meant for fueling the fires of raw desire. The temperature should never, ever drop...

Chi Lin avatar

@Li Yang Knowing you, I suppose you really would wish for a summer that never ends!

How adorable. Even I can feel the fierce, pounding heartbeats of these youths.

Chi Lin avatar

@Hazuki Hazuki! Rest assured, I shall faithfully fulfill my duties until the end of my shift!

Player avatar

"Mammoths"... Exactly how long ago are we talking about here?

Chi Lin avatar

Ahaha, did I startle you?

Chi Lin avatar

I may not be the oldest soul here, but I've still been a guardian watching humanity grow since the dawn of time!

Player avatar

Adversaries capable of rivaling the Lady of the Horse Palace... just how terrifying were they?

Chi Lin avatar

They were formidable foes, without a doubt. It took every ounce of our united strength to finally seal away the darkness ravaging the mortal realm.

Chi Lin avatar

The sacred tiles held by our Twelve Palaces stand as an eternal testament to that grand legacy!
