Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Form?
"Tell me your plans."
"Simply put, firstly, Kazdel doesn't particularly need to worry about external enemies, because the Sarkaz's fighting strength is indeed very strong, and right now, the various countries of Terra have no reason to form a coalition."
As Su Rui spoke, he highlighted the members of the Military Council:
"In other words, we can deal with external forces only after we've resolved the internal problems in Kazdel."
Although Su Rui's words were too arbitrary, Theresa and the Doctor didn't say anything, but just looked at Su Rui, waiting for his next explanation.
"Among the members of the Military Council, there isn't actually a united front. Some want the war to continue for their own benefit, some are using this opportunity to profit by betraying their compatriots, and of course, there are also some who genuinely believe that war is necessary, such as Kitty Egg Roll and the Shapeshifter Cluster... The Shapeshifter Cluster is just like the slimes, although they are indeed much stronger than slimes."
Su Rui's words puzzled Theresa, and Kal'tsit asked with a hint of helplessness:
"Su Rui, the Kitty Egg Roll' you mentioned, could it be referring to the Bloodfiend Lord?"
"Yes, those two pronunciations really do sound similar." Su Rui nodded, but this only made Kal'tsit more exasperated. "In Kazdel's language, these two words are completely different."
Theresa, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind at all; a slightly amused smile even appeared on her face.
"It's alright, Kal'tsit. I find it interesting too. Always being so tense will eventually lead to a breakdown."
As Theresa spoke, she looked at Su Rui and asked, "Since Su Rui has explained in such detail, have you already decided how to deal with them?"
"Hmm, those few who started the war for their own benefit, taking them out shouldn't be a problem, right? Assassination or just finding a way to kill them, the plan is here."
As Su Rui spoke, he separated the different individuals, displaying Su Rui's plan for dealing with each one under their name.
"The one who betrayed his compatriots, once his deeds are exposed, will naturally be killed by the Sarkaz. The more difficult ones to deal with are the three forces: Kitty Egg Roll, the Slime Cluster, and the Absolver."
Explaining the plan is part of the process; it's fundamental and also a plan to gain trust.
After explaining, Su Rui looked at Theresa and said, "To do all this perfectly without any major mistakes, I need the cooperation of many people. At the very least, I need a team under my command that absolutely trusts me."
"I'll choose for you, but of course, if Su Rui wants to choose, you can choose for yourself."
Theresa smiled and nodded, then glanced at the sky outside:
"It's getting late, how about we go and get some rest? Kal'tsit, could you please arrange a room for Su Rui?"
"Okay, come with me."
Kal'tsit nodded, walked up to Su Rui, took his wrist, and led Su Rui out of the office.
Unexpectedly, Theresa followed, looking Su Rui up and down with great curiosity.
Su Rui herself didn't seem to have any particular thoughts, but Kal'tsit gave Theresa a puzzled look:
"Your Highness, is there anything else?"
"It's nothing." Theresa smiled and shook her head, reaching out to pinch Su Rui's cheek in front of Kal'tsit, then ruffling Su Rui's hair.
"Just seeing Su Rui makes me want to get closer to her, she's so cute..."
"Wait a minute." Su Rui suddenly raised her hand to interrupt Theresa, turning her head and staring intently into Theresa's smiling face with her ruby-like eyes.
"Let me make this clear beforehand: I'm an adult, so don't treat me like a child. I just look younger than I am."
"I see. I apologize."
Theresa didn't seem to care about Su Rui's blunt tone. She simply smiled and answered Su Rui. In Theresa's eyes, which Su Rui couldn't understand, there was a different kind of emotion in Theresa Su Rui.
Soon, Kal'tsit led Su Rui to the door of a dormitory. "This is your room. Your information has been registered. Here is the key card."... But actually, Su Rui didn't need a key card to get in, did she? Kal'tsit didn't say that aloud.
"Okay, I understand."
Su Rui nodded, walked into the room, and looked at Kal'tsit and Theresa at the door. "So, are you going back? Or would you like to come in and sit down?"
What do you think, Su Rui?
Theresa smiled as she looked at Su Rui, awaiting Su Rui's reply.
"I don't know, I'm just asking out of politeness. It's up to you what you think."
Su Rui's direct and uninhibited statement surprised Theresa, but she couldn't help but chuckle.
"In that case, we won't disturb your rest any longer. See you tomorrow, Su Rui."
"See you tomorrow. By the way, don't you guys get any rest?"
"We'll rest soon." Theresa and Su Rui waved goodbye, while Kal'tsit nodded without saying a word.
Because Kal'tsit planned to continue working in the Medical Department, but she didn't want to lie to Su Rui, she could only use silence to conceal her intentions.
However, Kal'tsit clearly didn't expect that Su Rui would notice her behavior and send a message to her personal terminal:
"Kal'tsit, go and rest too, or I'll shut down all the equipment you've come across in the Medical Department. You don't want the patients to get hurt because the equipment isn't working, do you?"
"...I understand." Kal'tsit typed back, a hint of helplessness in her voice, but a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Then, Kal'tsit turned around and changed her destination, swiped her ID card to open Su Rui's room, and saw Su Rui looking at her with a puzzled expression, holding her phone.
Prince of Kazdel: 301 Kal'tsit: Don't be nervous.
"Kal'tsit? Didn't you go back to rest?"
Su Rui awkwardly tucked her bare feet into the sofa, looking at Kal'tsit with some unease.
After all, Su Rui is now a completely human being, and he doesn't exercise very often. Compared to Kal'tsit, Su Rui is simply a dish laid out on the table.
She couldn't possibly be coming over to lecture me just because I said I wanted to turn off the power, could she?
Su Rui remembered that Kal'tsit had mentioned taking care of her for a period of time, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Kal'tsit noticed Su Rui's wary gaze, but Kal'tsit didn't intend to do anything. She simply walked up to Su Rui, slowly sat down on the sofa next to Su Rui, and then snuggled closer to Su Rui.
"Kal'tsit, tell me first what you really want to do?"
Su Rui was a little scared as Kal'tsit approached her without saying a word. She couldn't very well let him lecture her just because of what he'd said, could she?
"Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you. As your nanny, I understand your personality and know how to guide you onto the right path, just like this land..."
"Stop right there, Kal'tsit. Forget the riddles, just tell me what you want to do."
As soon as Su Rui heard Kal'tsit about to launch into a long-winded speech, he immediately raised his hand to interrupt her chanting. However, seeing that Kal'tsit didn't intend to lecture him, Su Rui couldn't help but relax.
"As you requested, I've come to rest."
Kal'tsit looked at Su Rui calmly, noticing his stunned expression after hearing those words, and took the opportunity to move closer to Su Rui and sit down next to Su Rui.
"... Although, I mean I didn't mean to refuse you, I mean, when people talk about resting, don't they usually think of going back to their own rooms first? Why did you come here?"
Su Rui carefully considered her words, and when she felt Kal'tsit sitting next to her, she even paused for a moment while operating her phone.
"That's how we've always gotten along."
After Kal'tsit finished speaking, she didn't say anything more, but just leaned against Su Rui: "... Actually, I quite miss the time when I took care of you when you were little."
"Okay, that's a pretty good reason." Su Rui nodded, looking at the game on her phone, and felt that continuing to play the game now Tai He.
Just as Su Rui was about to find an excuse to turn off the game, Kal'tsit whispered in his ear:
"It's getting late, we should get some rest. If you want to play, how about we do it tomorrow?"
Su Rui paused for a moment. "... Okay, how about I play one last game? This one doesn't count, it'll be quick and won't take up too much time."
Originally, Su Rui wanted to turn off his phone while he was next to Kal'tsit, but after hearing Kal'tsit's words, he subconsciously wanted to negotiate with Kal'tsit.
"Okay, but you really need to rest." Unexpectedly, Kal'tsit didn't say much, just nodded, looking at Su Rui's game screen:
"I'll be watching you. Take a break after these two games."
"Okay~" A pleasant smile involuntarily appeared on Su Rui's lips. In fact, he was already a little sleepy and wondered how the Upper System was set up.
Logically speaking, Su Rui's body has only been born for less than three hours and should be fully awake, but Su Rui is already feeling a little sleepy.
However, now that Su Rui has reached an agreement with Kal'tsit, she naturally won't let go of this great opportunity to play games.
In reality, a game usually lasts about ten minutes. After finishing the game where she was injured, Su Rui couldn't help but yawn.
However, Kal'tsit didn't say anything or stop Su Rui from continuing to play. She simply raised her hand, cupped Su Rui's cheeks, and let Su Rui rest her head on her lap.
"...Thanks~" Su Rui instinctively wanted to say something, but Kal'tsit pinched her mouth shut.
Did she think I shouldn't thank her? But I really can't remember clearly, I just have a vague impression. Oh well, let's leave it at that.
Su Rui didn't dwell on the matter any further; she simply started another game and then devoted all her time to it.
Sleepiness was creeping in little by little, like a swimming pool being filled with water, gradually submerging Su Rui who was lying in the pool.
But the game on her phone was still going on, and Su Rui didn't want to rest yet.
So even though he was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, he still kept his eyes closed and continued playing the game with his fingers...
Then, without realizing it, Su Rui fell asleep in Kal'tsit's arms.
The game was still going on, but Su Rui's fingers had stopped moving.
Kal'tsit watched as the phone slipped from Su Rui's hand, then gently caught it and helped Su Rui finish the game as quickly as possible.
This is a single-player game. When Su Rui was little... Kal'tsit even played it with Su Rui.
He skillfully played the game and took a screenshot so that Su Rui wouldn't be alarmed when he woke up tomorrow because of this; seeing the screenshot would tell him the outcome.
After finishing these tasks, Kal'tsit put her phone in her pocket and then softly called out, "Mon3tr, go tidy up the room. I'm taking Su Rui to rest."
Kal'tsit gently picked up Su Rui. The grotesque monster made of Originium followed beside her, but did not cause any damage. Instead, it stayed by Kal'tsit's side, helping her open the door and then pulling back the blanket so that Kal'tsit could put Su Rui down. Mon3tr then gently covered Su Rui with the blanket again.
Mon3tr had done this kind of thing a lot when he was with Kal'tsit. Although the long time and the experience of restarting had left only a vague memory of this experience, the familiar feeling still arose spontaneously when he did it.
Kal'tsit glanced at Mon3tr, thought for a moment, and said, "Mon3tr, come back. I need to rest."
"A reluctant roar~" The monster made of Originium seemed somewhat unwilling, and subconsciously moved a little closer to Su Rui, then curled up and stuffed one of its claws into Su Rui's hand.
Then, Kal'tsit saw Su Rui instinctively grab Mon3tr's claws and even rub them against it.
Not surprised that her summoned creature did something against her will, Kal'tsit just glanced helplessly at Mon3tr, then came to Su Rui's side from the other side, lifted the blanket, and crawled in herself.
Such a scene seemed familiar, as if it had happened before. Kal'tsit felt a sense of déjà vu, and Su Rui seemed to have a particular fondness for non-human monsters.
Prince of Kazdel: 302 is fine, but MON3TR is...
The next morning, Su Rui was gently woken from her sleep by a pair of warm, slender hands that gently shook her cheeks.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Kal'tsit sitting up, bending over and rubbing her cheeks with her fingers.
Su Rui felt something cool and hard behind her, and instinctively looked over.
Then, Su Rui saw a hideous monster made of Originium, and heard Kal'tsit's gentle reminder in her ear:
"Don't worry, Mon3tr knows you well and won't hurt you."
"I really want to say I know." Looking at the grotesque monster so close to him, Su Rui couldn't resist reaching out and touching it a few more times.
"But it seemed to be with me all night, right? I don't really remember it, but it seems to be one of your summoned creatures?"
"Yes, you loved it a lot when you were little, and you even wanted it to stay with you when you slept at night."
Kal'tsit's tone was flat, but Su Rui sensed a hint of jealousy in Kal'tsit words.
"There's no need to be jealous of a summoned creature, is there? Even if it doesn't look cute, it still has its own appeal, okay?"
Su Rui placed her hand on the monster's cheek, opened its mouth, and looked at its sharp teeth:
"Speaking of which, can Mon3tr eat? If it doesn't have the function of eating, why does it have teeth?"
"Teeth can also be used as weapons of attack."
As Kal'tsit said this, she reached out and cupped Su Rui's cheeks, gently applying pressure, and then lifted Su Rui's face, making Su Rui tilt her head back to look at her.
"Do you remember the game from last night?"
"Yes, the game last night!" Su Rui's eyes widened instinctively, trying to struggle out of Kal'tsit's embrace, but Kal'tsit pulled her into a tighter hold.
"Don't worry, I finished the game for you, and I even took a screenshot of the rewards."
Kal'tsit's words reassured Su Rui, and then Su Rui realized the distance between herself and Kal'tsit:
"Speaking of which, Kal'tsit, could you loosen your grip on me a little? I feel a little uncomfortable."
As Su Rui spoke, she gently shook her head.
Kal'tsit's smile faltered slightly. She didn't say anything, but silently released her hands from holding Su Rui's cheeks.
