Big Sister Suika / The Rhine Lab Mother-Daughter Duo

Moreover, it would be too conspicuous for someone her age to carry a rag doll, so after discussing it with Shanghai, they arranged for her to return to Suika.

After all, Suika needs someone like Shanghai to accompany her when she's alone in the wilderness.

Not only can it help her with personal hygiene, but it also provides her with a companion to talk to.

Although Shanghai cannot speak...

Suika scratched her head, then reached out her hand towards Shanghai.

"Alright, let's continue our travels together from now on."

Shanghai stood proudly in Suika's hand, displaying an expression that said, "You really can't do without me."

After sleeping with Shanghai in my arms all night, I was woken up by Hoshiguma the next morning to do my morning exercise.

Suika stared at Hoshiguma with a completely bewildered expression.

"Sis, it's January, and it's still snowing outside. Are you sure you're not mistaken about going to the deck for morning exercise at 6:30?"

Hoshiguma flashed a set of beautiful white teeth.

"Of course that's right. It's precisely in this harsh environment that we need to exercise even more to improve our health and grow taller."

"Um, actually I don't think I need to..." Suika tried to struggle, since she wasn't interested in either of them, but before she could finish speaking, Hoshiguma picked her up.

Are you afraid of the cold?

Elbows, get them working!

Suika, staring blankly with dead fish eyes, was carried by Hoshiguma all the way to the deck, where she discovered that there were quite a few people there.

Everyone burst out laughing when they saw Suika's appearance.

Of all the people on Rhodes Island, from top to bottom, only Hoshiguma can completely subdue Suika.

Following behind Hoshiguma, Suika spent a whole hour running three full laps around the edge of the deck before Hoshiguma finally let her go, after she had been lapped countless times by the Kuranta girl next to her.

"You usually seem so diligent, but why are you so lazy around me?"

Hoshiguma, exasperated, reached out and rubbed Suika's cheeks.

"I work hard outside because if I don't move, I won't have food or a place to stay. But with Hoshiguma here, I don't have to worry about these things, so why should I bother with all that!"

Suika said matter-of-factly.

"You mean you want to eat me for the rest of your life?" Hoshiguma raised an eyebrow.

"That's necessary, and not just for a lifetime."

I have connections in the underworld. I'll have Komachi stop capturing your soul and retrieve you from King Yama's clutches...

As for the body... what do you think of the lotus root body?

I can even cosplay as the Three Altars Sea Gathering God then.

"If you don't like it, it wouldn't be difficult for me to find a few old men to hand-mold a body for you."

Suika stroked her chin and spoke eloquently, as if eating for a lifetime wouldn't be enough, and that she would be dragged up and kept working even after she died.

Chapter 470 Boss Suika

After breakfast, Hoshiguma said she was going to a meeting with Chen and Jiu, Suika immediately waved her hand, saying not to invite her to meetings.

After saying that, she disappeared in a flash.

Hoshiguma blinked. She hadn't planned to have Suika come along; she'd only told her. But she hadn't expected such a strong reaction. She couldn't help but smile and think to herself how she could tease Suika a little with something like this next time.

After saying goodbye to Hoshiguma Suika thought that since she had nothing else to do, she wandered over to the Therapy Garden.

To be fair, on this bitterly cold day outside, this is the most pleasant place on Rhodes Island.

Many operators who are feeling down like to come here for a walk.

Smelling the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard Suika lazily yawned.

As she wandered aimlessly, she saw many children having class in a house not far away.

Curious, she walked over and found that they were painting.

Suika spotted the three children she had sent from Karaton — Leite, Mograine, and Whitemane— in the crowd.

Among the remaining people, she recognized Shamare and Suzuran.

The teacher standing on the podium, radiating maternal warmth, was none other than the Elite Operator, Ms. Raidian.

Seeing Suika peering out the window, Raidian's smile grew even gentler.

"Would Little Suika like to come in and attend a class with everyone?"

Suika pointed to her nose. "Huh, me?"

Before she could refuse, she heard Leite and Mograine shout at the same time.

"Boss!"

Raidian's smile became even gentler...

Sitting at her desk, Suika secretly vowed that she would never wander around aimlessly again in her next life.

The key is to just wander around; why be so curious?

I'm not Feline, I don't have nine lives... And look what happened, I was dragged into a group of kids to be a student.

Fortunately, this class was a drawing class. Although Suika doesn't have an artistic talent, she's not entirely artistic either. The work records of the Catastrophe Messenger already include drawing skills.

Besides, photography is also a form of graphic art.

After all, words often cannot fully and intuitively express what people want to say, so using pictures is a common practice.

So even though she hadn't formally studied drawing, Suika's drawing skills were quite good.

Especially still life and landscapes.

So, under the watchful eyes of the children Suika, covered in sweat, completed a reasonably decent piece of artwork, which elicited a cheer.

A child from Leithanien pointed to the scenery in the painting and exclaimed that the tree in the painting was a golden palm, a species unique to Leithanien.

Before he came here, his hometown was surrounded by these trees.

"She truly lives up to her title as the leader!" Leite praised, and the other children around him nodded in agreement, also calling Suika the leader.

"It seems you're quite popular with the kids, Little Suika."

Just as Suika was feeling smug, Raidian's voice brought her back to her senses.

"What 'big sister' or 'big sister'? We're not some petty thugs. Just call me Sister Suika in private."

Suika immediately spoke with righteous indignation.

"The Palme d'Or of Leithanien, it's painted really well..."

Raidian smiled as he examined Suika's painting and then exclaimed in admiration.

"I heard that you, Suika, are also a Catastrophe Messenger. Why don't you tell me the stories you've heard on your travels?"

Suika was pulled onto the stage by Raidian.

Upon hearing that Suika was going to tell a story, the children who had just been making a ruckus immediately sat up straight.

After thinking about it, Suika decided that the Four Great Classical Novels were definitely not suitable, and medium-length or long children's stories were also Taihe.

Therefore, the ideal story target is clear: a short story like "The Emperor's New Clothes," which is short, has a bizarre plot, and is interesting.

With this thought in mind, Suika made a plan.

After glancing around, she began her story with "The Emperor's New Clothes".

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the story of the emperor parading around shirtless.

Raidian was amazed by the story's rich content and meaning, and its undeniable humor, though he didn't know where Suika had heard it from.

But judging from the children's enthusiastic discussion after listening, the story is indeed quite wonderful.

Afterwards, Suika told two more short stories, "The Frog in the Well" and "The Crow Drinks Water," and before they knew it, it was noon.

Although the children were still very excited, after Raidian clapped his hands to announce the end of get out of class, there wasn't much commotion.

They shouldered their little schoolbags and lined up to walk towards the cafeteria.

Suika and Raidian walked at the back.

"Suika, although it's a bit late, I still want to thank you in person."

"Ah... about Chernobog? No need to thank me, I was just doing my part."

Suika scratched her head.

"It's not Chernobog, it's the new drug."

You are not Infected, so you don't feel it deeply, but for Rhodes Island, and even for many Infected, this new drug is almost like a second life.

The child in front... the one with blue hair in the middle, he suddenly suffered Oripathy. If it weren't for the powerful effects of the new drug, he might have already left this world.

And that one...

Raidian pointed to the children in front of him, reciting them as if they were his own children.

She remembers each child's illness, birthday, and hobbies.

Unfortunately, she was still powerless against Oripathy.

Before the advent of new Inhibitor, she often had no choice but to watch helplessly as her child passed away before her eyes.

However, that kind of thing is now in the past.

The therapeutic effect of this new blocking agent is frighteningly good.

Several children who were on the verge of death were miraculously pulled back from the brink after being injected with this drug.

This is why she treated Suika so kindly.

Because she knew that the medicine had been brought by the other party.

Suika fell silent after hearing Raidian's words.

She knew the origin of Oripathy, and she also knew that the disease that people feared was not originally a disease.

Or rather, this isn't a disease at all, but rather a way of preserving and elevating life.

But who would believe such a thing except for Kal'tsit, who knows the inside story?

Even if you believe it, if a normal person were given the choice between truly living their life or being preserved as a string of data in a stone, no one would choose the latter.

"This is what I should do... I'm just trying to minimize the tragedy within my own power."

"But undeniably, your help has indeed saved many people."

Since this new drug was developed, no one on Rhodes Island has died from Oripathy...

Raidian's tone was gentle yet firm.

Chapter 471 The Rhine Lab Mother and Daughter Group

After saying goodbye to Raidian, Suika went to the restaurant and was about to go in to eat when she suddenly heard arguing coming from not far away.

There are people arguing on Rhodes Island!

Suika walked over there curiously.

"Why, why won't you let me see Saria!" a shrill female voice cried out.

"No means no." A deep female voice.

"The treatment at Rhodes Island was very effective; my body is no longer in pain," the shrill female voice continued.

"These are two different things." The deep female voice was decisive and cold.

Okay, even though Suika hadn't seen the person yet, she already guessed who was arguing.

She peeked over and saw Silence confronting Ifrit.

Although she had been extremely careful not to disturb the two of them, the pair of large horns were so eye-catching that they still drew Ifrit's attention.

"Who are you?!" Ifrit, who had just been humiliated by Silence, was like a firecracker, ready to explode at the slightest provocation.
