Little Suika, the Storyteller

Suika answered the phone under Lena's watchful gaze.

"Ifrit, what's wrong? Your blood sugar is abnormally high."

As soon as the call connected, the other end bombarded me with questions.

"Dr. Silence, it's me Suika."

The resources are from the internet and are for learning and exchange purposes only. The copyright of the novel resources belongs to the original author.

With a slight twitch of her lips, Suika finally spoke.

"Hmm? Suika, where's Ifrit?" The tone on the other end of the phone softened when Suika was speaking.

"Oh, she ate too much cake and is now sleeping on the stool."

Suika glanced at Ifrit on the ground, thought for a moment, and then told a small lie.

"Eating too much cake? This is just eating too much?"

On the other end of the phone, Silence glanced at the data recorder on Ifrit's body beside him—a blood sugar level soaring to the sky. Had she eaten too much?

It's practically like injecting glucose into your bloodstream.

"It was just from eating too much... Dr. Lena is here, she can vouch for that."

Suika glanced at the Perfumer who was turning the two of them over so they could sleep more comfortably in the distance before continuing.

Upon hearing Lena's name, Silence's tone softened.

As Rhodes Island's master of healing, Silence consulted her more than once about the knowledge needed to heal Ifrit.

I also know that the other person is a very capable doctor, and if the other person is around, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Moreover, it was only her blood sugar that was high, not the concentration of Originium, which was another reason why she felt relieved.

After hanging up the phone, Suika sat down to the side, and Lena came over and sat down next to her after settling the two of them in.

"How about this sachet?" Lena pointed to the sachet hanging from Suika's waist.

"It's great, the scent is very soothing, especially when I put it by my bedside at night, I sleep very soundly."

Suika answered seriously.

"There's no need to be so formal. You're not a patient, and I'm not a doctor right now."

Raidian told me about the stories you told the children yesterday; they were very meaningful and interesting.

Do you have more stories like this where you live?

I hope to record these stories and put them here for children to read.

This can also make children more interested in learning and literacy.

Lena's tone was gentle, just like her personality, always giving people a feeling of a spring breeze.

"Yes, that's fine."

I've been spending my evenings at the library anyway, so I'll write a little something every day and hand it in to you or Raidian later.

Suika thought about it and realized that her life had become much more regular since Hoshiguma came to Rhodes Island.

I exercise and play in the morning, then go for a run at the gym in the afternoon and then go to the public bathhouse (hehehe), and read books at the library in the evening.

My days are quite fulfilling.

I've read quite a bit about Rim Billiton and Iberia; all that's left is to experience it for myself.

If Lena doesn't ask for anything, she'll probably spend the rest of her time reading Terra novels.

Since I'm just killing time anyway, it's a good idea to record some stories I've read before.

The two quickly reached an agreement on the matter and made an important consensus on cooperation.

"Beep beep beep," Hoshiguma messaged her while they were chatting, asking why she hadn't gone to exercise that afternoon.

Suika told her that she was playing with her friends in the Therapy Garden.

Hoshiguma didn't say anything, only telling her to be careful not to play too much and hurt the flowers and plants in the Therapy Garden.

Around four or five in the afternoon, Ifrit and Shamare groggily woke up one after the other.

Looking at the two Suika not far away, he rubbed his eyes, somewhat incredulous.

"You're awake!" Suika waved her hand to dispel the clones in front of her when she saw that the two of them had woken up.

"Was that a clone of you playing checkers with your clone?"

Ifrit was somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, a minor spell." Suika prepared to put away the chessboard.

"Don't rush... Are you in such a hurry to recall your clone because you're about to lose?"

After her dazed state subsided, Ifrit regained her shrewdness and keenly realized that Suika a great disadvantage on the chessboard, while on the other side, all the pieces could be moved in just two moves.

"Ahem, you can't say that. My clone is still me. Can you call it playing chess if I'm playing against myself?"

Absolutely not!

I'm studying the patterns here.

It's obvious that this approach just doesn't work.

After clearing her throat of embarrassment by coughing lightly twice, Suika stiffened her neck and explained.

"But you're about to lose."

"We were just trying to figure out the right tactics, but we didn't succeed."

So you lost.

"How can this be called a loss? This is a necessary failure."

The result was a loss.

"Hey, can you stop bringing up winning and losing all the time?" Suika gritted her teeth.

"You can't beat the clone in a game of Ludo..."

"I'll fucking fight you!" Suika flipped over the chessboard, and like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, she charged at Ifrit. The two rolled several times on the ground before finally getting up.

They exchanged a smile, indicating that he had something on her, and that they should just forget about what happened today.

"Oh, by the way, Dr. Silence just texted you to remind you to come back for dinner."

Suika pointed to Ifrit's phone on the table.

Upon hearing this, Ifrit's pretty face fell.

I ate so many sweets this afternoon and then took a nap, so I'm not hungry at all. Making myself eat right now would be like being killed.

"Then why don't you go talk to Silence yourself..."

Suika said that although she couldn't help you practically, she could support you spiritually and encourage you verbally.

In response, Ifrit could only give Suika a thoughtful middle finger.

Chapter 479 Little Suika Who Writes Stories

After watching Shamare take Lena back for a medical check-up, Suika led Ifrit was hanging her head, to her place.

The reason was that she learned that Silence had called her that afternoon, but Suika had answered, and she was too scared to go back alone.

Besides Silence and the medical team, the person I'm most familiar with on Rhodes Island is Suika.

After her repeated pleas (actually, she clung to Suika's leg, saying she wouldn't let go unless she was taken back with her), Suika finally accompanied her back to this side.

When asked by Silence to have dinner with her, Suika said that she had eaten quite a lot in the afternoon and probably wouldn't be able to eat dinner.

Seeing this, Silence didn't say anything, Ifrit, who was next to her, also took the opportunity to express her unwillingness to eat dinner.

"Okay, but only this once!"

Considering that Suika was still there, and that criticizing or rejecting Ifrit now would hurt her feelings, Silence ultimately chose to compromise.

Seeing that her plan to skip dinner had succeeded, Ifrit mentally gave herself a thumbs up, thinking how incredibly clever she had been.

"Goodbye!" Ifrit waved excitedly to Suika as she left.

"See you next time!" Suika glanced at Silence, who was frowning slightly, and quickly left.

That poor kid, I just helped her solve a problem, now she should keep a low profile and "disappear" from the adults' sight.

Someone like her, who pops up on her own initiative, will definitely get a beating if the adults find out something's wrong.

It will also affect your reputation with other people.

After muttering a few complaints about Ifrit as she walked, she decided to head straight to the library.

There aren't many people around at this time, so I can go to a quiet room and reserve a spot.

After all, writing a story is not an easy task.

Even a short story, if it has a beginning and an end and is engaging, can still be one or two thousand words long.

Two thousand words would take at least an hour to write.

You see, Suika has more than just one or two stories to write, and she doesn't want to spend all her nights writing during her stay on Rhodes Island, so she has to work overtime to finish it as soon as possible.

The selection of stories naturally focuses on Grimm's Fairy Tales, supplemented by Andersen's Fairy Tales, along with some stories from One Thousand and One Nights.

These stories are generally no more than 10,000 words long, and are short, concise, and interesting.

After all, it's too long for Suika to remember, and she can only recall a few details.

After planning what she wanted to write, Suika thought that they all seemed to be foreign stories, none of them in the style of the Great Yan Dynasty. Suika felt that it was not quite perfect, so she added two stories with a strong Great Yan style, "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "Jingwei Fills the Sea".

In the end, they chose "The Three Little Pigs" as the ending.

This story left a deep impression on Suika. When she was little, she always thought that wolves could blow away thatched huts in one breath, so she never went to play in the cowshed outside, for fear of being carried away by the big bad wolf.

It took her an hour to write down the list before she slowly began to fill in the stories one by one.

Just as she finished typing the first message, her communicator rang.

Sure enough, it was a message from Hoshiguma. She asked where she was and if she needed a seat reserved for her in the library.

Suika said she had been at the library for a while and was in the quiet room.

When Hoshiguma and the others walked over, they saw Suika engrossed in writing something, so they picked it up and took a look.

"Is this a fairy tale?" After just one glance, the group roughly knew what Suika was doing.

"But why are you writing all this?" Swire picked up the list next to her. It was a long list, but currently, apart from the first one, there was only the second one that she was writing.

This list contains nearly twenty stories, and Swire estimated that if each story had a similar word count to the first one, it would still be around 50,000 words.

Even if you write every day, it would take at least a week to write 50,000 words.

"Hey, isn't this what I promised Raidian and Dr. Lena?"

When I went to the classroom during your meeting, Raidian asked me to tell her a few stories. She thought I told them very well and the children loved them, so she asked me to write them down. If possible, I'd like to add a few more.

"I'm doing that right now."

Although Suika said she was very distressed, she couldn't hide the smugness on her face.

"I think this story is good. It's short but interesting, and it's also very meaningful."

"You've got a good little brain."

Swire gave Suika a big thumbs up.

Having read many fairy tales as a child, she greatly admires the works written by Suika.

After all, in her opinion, this first story, "The Frog Prince," was one of the most entertaining fairy tales she had ever read.

To be honest, even though she's long past her prime, she's still very curious about what Suika has written.

After all, such a rare and interesting fairy tale was something that her girlish heart, which had never faded, could not resist.

However, seeing that she was concentrating on typing, the others didn't disturb her "work" and even closed the door behind them after they left.

Without being disturbed by anyone else, Suika happily wrote down words while sipping wine in the quiet room.

When she finally realized she was getting sleepy, she looked at the time and it was already 2:30 a. m.

I quickly packed my things and left the library.
