Every Reunion Must End in Farewell / An Unexpected Encounter

A little while later... with a "bang," Dory appeared in front of the two of them, with a record tucked inside its fur.

The Emperor grabbed the record, checked it, and confirmed it was the one he had lost before contentedly stuffing it into his down jacket.

"Where did you put that thing?!" Suika exclaimed in shock as she gestured at the Emperor's actions.

"Just treat this as Originium Arts!" the Emperor said, looking at Dory.

"Suika, pour it three cups of wine. After it drinks them, we'll call it even!"

Remember to give me a good amount of time, otherwise, knowing this guy's personality, he might badmouth me to his other old friends!

Suika picked up two glasses. "Would you like some?"

"Forget it, it's too hot... Let's finish this quickly and go down to cool off. It's much more comfortable than standing here on this mountain chatting with a sheep."

After getting the record back, the Emperor's desire to leave was written all over his face. However, before leaving, he still had to teach Dory a little lesson, otherwise what if his lambs came to steal the record again!

"Alright, Mr. Dory, how about we finish three drinks each and call it a day!"

As Suika spoke, she poured the first glass of wine.

"You want to drink too?" Dory looked at Suika with suspicion. Wasn't this a "punishment" for her?

"Of course, I'm never comfortable watching others drink; this is the first one."

After Suika presented the wine to Dory, she drank her own glass in one gulp.

Seeing Suika's decisive action, Dory followed suit and downed the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Chapter 210 Every gathering must eventually end in parting.

The next second, Dory, who was already pink, looked even redder.

Suika then poured a second glass of wine. "Come on, it's rare to meet such a hearty lamb, let's drink to that!"

If the other person is an ordinary person, Suika will drink it slowly and methodically.

But Dory is neither an ordinary person nor an ordinary sheep, so he is much more uninhibited when it comes to drinking.

After three drinks, Dory began to sway left and right in the air, and the sheep's color began to change from pink to bright red.

"Hey, penguin, when did you learn the clone technique... and this friend named Suika..." The next second, Dory disappeared from the spot with a "bang".

"Hehe, seeing this guy in such a sorry state makes me quite satisfied. Let's go, Suika, he won't be coming out until he sobers up!"

The Emperor waved with great pleasure, then led Suika down the mountaintop.

Shortly after the two left, Dory reappeared in the same spot, looking at the two who had disappeared, a relieved expression on her face.

"Oh dear, I almost embarrassed myself in front of my old friend! That wine was terrible... it actually got me drunk!"

When the words were finished, Dory was no longer there; she had probably gone off to play on some volcano.

After descending the mountain, the Emperor stretched and looked at Is driving an off-road Yi Si towards them in the distance.

"I've achieved my goal in coming to Siesta, and I'm planning to leave tomorrow. Otherwise, if I stay out too long, those little devils Gary might cause quite a ruckus..."

"So urgent... Then please bring them each a gift for me!"

Suika touched the Hina Doll at her waist, and then, under the Emperor's slightly surprised gaze, she rubbed together three small Originium tokens. In front of each token were statues of Exusiai, Texas, and Croissant.

This is something that Suika has been able to achieve only recently, after becoming increasingly skilled in controlling the Density and Sparsity of her fragrance.

Previously, one could only hand-rub the stone tablet and then imprint the Great Fortune Sigil onto it the instant it was finished.

As she made these things for her friends on Rhodes Island, she became more and more skilled, and eventually she was able to make custom orders. Incidentally, the stone tablets she made for Hoshiguma, Chen, and Swire all have their portraits on them.

After receiving the stone tablet, the Emperor touched it, confirming that it was a high-density Originium Crystals, and then looked at Suika.

"Is this the skill you learned after leaving the Lungmen?"

"Not really... I actually had some ideas back in Lungmen, but they weren't fully developed at the time."

After leaving Lungmen, I encountered all sorts of things and troubles, and in order to deal with them, I had to improve my skills.

And then this thing was finished.

Suika tried to touch the horn on her head, but the Shanghai Dolls thought she was going to touch her and blocked her with both hands.

"Sigh, so I can't even touch my own horns anymore? Well then, you'll have to take on the responsibility of maintaining them from now on!"

Rejected, Suika said helplessly to the Shanghai Dolls.

"But... why is it that only Texas and his group have this kind of relationship? What about me? Yi Si Is?!"

You can't favor one over the other!

Sensing the strange power of the stone tablet, the Emperor shamelessly begged for it.

Suika glanced at the Emperor and shook her head. "You're not suitable; the Yi Si consequences are too great... Is, on the other hand, is..."

"What do you mean?" The Emperor seemed somewhat unconvinced.

Suika spread her hands again, and a stone tablet engraved with Yi Si's image appeared in her hand. She then handed it to Yi Si and said...

"I can make you a regular stone tablet... but this kind won't do!"

This contains an Originium Arts called "Great Fortune Sigil".

Its effect is to enhance the wearer's good fortune.

However, at the same time, as the giver, I will also lose some luck.

Of course, I have ways to avoid this bad luck if the other party is an 'ordinary person'.

And you..."

Suika said this because she had felt a tremor from the Hina Doll when she gave the stone tablet to Kal'tsit.

Although the loss of luck is one's own, the cause and effect of the gift are interconnected, and it will still intersect with the fate of the other party.

The karma embodied in these ancient beings, who have lived for countless years, is terrifyingly immense, and the misfortune they bring is equally astonishing.

The thought of Kal'tsit's fate terrified her; she dared not imagine how powerful the backlash from the misfortunes of these Beast Lord must be.

It seems only Zhuan Zhuan himself can come and see if he can seal away these misfortunes using the Hina Doll.

Having understood the meaning behind Suika's words, the Emperor spread his hands and said, "Alright... then get me a regular one... otherwise, everyone will have one when we get back, and I won't have one. Won't Exusiai laugh at me?"

After the Emperor agreed, Suika made a simple stone tablet and handed it to him.

"Yi Si, take this stone tablet to a goldsmith and have him make me a big gold chain. I want to wear it!"

"Boss, we have to leave tomorrow!"

Seeing the Emperor become excited again, Yi Si a word of advice.

"Then pay more, and it has to be done before we leave!" The Emperor waved his hands in front of him, indicating that he would roll on the ground if it wasn't done well.

"Okay, boss... I'll go figure something out right away..."

Yi Si looked at Suika helplessly.

"Then Suika, I'll leave the boss to you."

After saying that, Yi Si took the stone tablet and ran out.

After Yi Si left, Suika looked at the Emperor with disdain.

"You're a grown adult, how can you talk to your employees like that... Were you just about to act like a child, lying on the ground and refusing to get up if they didn't do it?"

You didn't come to Siesta this time to 'Yi Si' Is again, did you?

Suika smiled mischievously.

"Hahaha, how could that be? What kind of status do I, the Emperor, have... cough cough, there's Bountiful Hoof Restaurant) over there, it looks like Kjerag style... let's go try it... my treat!"

Despite the Emperor's invitation, which was ostensibly a treat but in reality a way to keep quiet, Suika readily accepted.

After being ripped off, the two said they had a great time.

"By the way, where are you planning to go next? When are you going back to Lungmen? Exusiai and the others still mention you from time to time, and I can tell they miss you."

Presumably, that Inspector Hoshiguma...

That evening, sitting on a beach chair and looking at the sea in front of him, the Emperor realized that he hadn't asked Suika about her schedule yet.

"Next... I plan to go check out Kazimierz."

I remember there was Knight's Tournament in Kazimierz in the fall.

Maybe I'll travel to places like Kjerag and Columbia afterward...

Actually, I haven't thought that far ahead. I just want to go to one place, see and have my fill of things, and then find a place I've never been before to explore and have some fun.

As for when we'll return to Lungmen...

I should be back by the end of next year at the latest. As for whether I'll stay longer... well, that depends on whether I've finished exploring Terra this year, hahaha!

Suika's laughter echoed in the night sky, and above her head...

Shanghai was holding a roll of polishing sandpaper, flipping it up and down to polish the corners of Suika.

Chapter 211 An Unexpected Encounter

"Alright, alright! You don't need to grind it anymore, you've already worn the corners down to a whole size..."

Suika took the Shanghai Dolls that was sulking off her head off, and then pointed to the handmade treasure chest not far away.

"Go have fun by yourself!"

Upon hearing Suika's words, the Shanghai Dolls tilted its head to the side, looking like it didn't want to pay attention to her, and flew away.

"What did you do to offend her this time?" The Emperor watched the interaction between the human and the puppet with amusement.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have upset her..."

Sigh, Shanghai, what did I ever do to offend you...?

Suika habitually flirted with people in Shanghai.

The Shanghai flew to her, then put one hand on her hip and pointed in the direction they had come from.

Suika peeked over; she had just taken a shower, put on her coat, and walked over...

Okay, she guessed the reason. It must be the footprints she left on the ground. She had seen her messing around with a small mop before, until she asked her to help polish the corners.

"Red Bean puree is so delicious! I promise I won't do that again next time, I promise!"

After Suika clasped her hands together and apologized to the doll, the doll, hands on its hips, swaggered over to the craft box, looking like a victorious general, and began fiddling with the contents.

"These are truly interesting dolls, far more interesting than the ones from Leithanien!" the Emperor exclaimed, then looked at Suika.

I'm going back tomorrow, so you'd better be careful on the road.

If you encounter any strange people, just say my name.

For normal people, my reputation is useless, but among some oddballs who seem similar to me, I consider myself to have some standing.

The Emperor knew that Suika understood what he was saying.

Suika nodded, understanding perfectly, and agreed.

Although she didn't intend to use the title of Emperor to show off in front of those Beast Lords, it would be somewhat unromantic for her to refuse a senior's offer to lend a hand.

The next morning, after seeing the Emperor off, Suika picked up her travel brochure and continued her sightseeing trip.

On her last day in Siesta, she compiled a series of photographs she had taken there into a photo album and entrusted a professional messenger to deliver it to Rhodes Island.

We left this place and headed north.

"Let me see. The Knights Tournament starts in October, and it's early September now. A month should be enough time to reach our destination!"

Suika took out a map and checked it to make sure she hadn't gone the wrong way before continuing northward.

The easiest route from Siesta to Kazimierz is through Victoria.

And this road heading north happens to pass through the territory of the Duke Kestrel.

She considered that she could also visit Elisa Swire on her way.

After all, the academy in the Kestrel Territory is located in the north of the Kestrel Territory, a place bordering Kazimierz, Columbia, and Kjerag.

It just so happens that she can enter Kazimierz from that side.

When there was no war or conflict, Victoria was relatively stable.
