Mizuki's Naughty Ability / Mizuki Gets Pestered
Muelsyse scoffed dismissively, but put those thoughts aside for the time being. It was quite dramatic that the problem that had been bothering her had been resolved so easily.
But the main course was yet to come. Muelsyse casually waved her hand, and the water flow from the showerhead transformed into another person beside her. She hesitated for a moment, and then the water clone appeared in front of Mizuki in the form of Typhon.
"It's made with hot water, shall we try it?"
Muelsyse smiled, with a distinctly foxy air about her having successfully stolen a chicken.
Chapter 152 Mizuki's Unconventional Abilities
"Mizuki!! I miss you so much!!!"
Upon returning to Rhodes Island, the first thing Exusiai did was to jump into Mizuki's arms and nuzzle against him, completely ignoring Mostima, Lemuen, and Fiammetta standing nearby.
After being away for almost half a month, Exusiai was going crazy. She had never been separated from Mizuki for such a long time before, and she vowed never to take on such long-term jobs again, unless Mizuki came with her!
As long as Mizuki is there, she'd be happy to go to the ends of the earth.
"Xiao Le, you've worked hard."
Reuniting with your loved one is always so exciting and exhilarating. Exusiai n't help but kiss them twice, then realized something but didn't say anything, only giving Mizuki a cool look that said, "I know everything."
But she didn't care; all she wanted to do right now was hold Mizuki and nothing else.
"We drove back for three days straight without sleeping, and we almost totaled the car."
Exusiai playfully stuck out her tongue. She simply couldn't bear being separated from Mizuki for more than a week, so after ordering the ring, she rushed back without stopping.
After traveling for three days and three nights without sleep, the four girls from Penguin Logistics showed no signs of fatigue. This was probably because Mizuki had given them so much life force that this amount of exertion was not enough to affect their bodies.
Although they really wanted to hug Mizuki, Texas and the others held back. After all, Exusiai was the main heroine, and everyone tacitly agreed that she had the highest priority when it came to being affectionate and clingy with Mizuki.
"By the way, I didn't announce that I would be coming back. When I was notified to come to the island, I even told Kal'tsit not to tell you."
"But when you called Kal'tsit, you forgot to ask her who else was around."
Mizuki gently pinched Exusiai's cheek. Half an hour earlier, he had been helping Liz and Rosemary with their third treatment. Ifrit was also recovering quickly. But even without Kal'tsit's notification, Mizuki knew that Exusiai and the others were approaching, so he had prepared hot water long ago.
Ever since that night when Muelsyse made a mess of the room, Mizuki has been exceptionally busy for the next few days. She mainly assisted Kal'tsit in researching a truly effective anti -Oripathy drug using his own cells, and also tried to appease Warfarin, who was drunk on blood every day. That girl always said she could control herself, but she never managed to walk out of the ward standing up.
"Oh right, I almost forgot you and her were also somewhat connected."
Exusiai stuck out her tongue, then jumped off Mizuki, generously giving up her spot. She at least knew to leave some meat for her sisters.
Sora, Texas, and Croissant were wrapped up in that order, with Sora holding them for the longest time Croissant for the shortest, only a few seconds.
"I've already prepared the hot water. Go take a shower and get a good night's sleep. You can eat when you wake up."
They don't feel physically tired, but they still need to adjust mentally. Once the girls' excitement wears off, they will undoubtedly feel sleepy and sleep better than anyone else.
She had to rush back even after three days and three nights without sleep. Mizuki felt both heartache and a little happy, unsure how to put it. She was truly a silly girl, yet these were the silly girls he loved most.
Thinking about it this way, the girls around him were basically all silly girls, always accommodating him in some ways, and with an inexplicable stubbornness. Mizuki even had some doubts. Was she really that amazing, worthy of so many people's affection?
But the embrace of the beautiful women earlier couldn't be fake, so he calmed down and made arrangements for the girls to rest.
"Great, then I want to eat apple pie. Oh wait, what if I can't sleep tonight if I go to bed now?"
Exusiai blinked, her eyes filled with a cunning and playful glint that seemed to be deliberately hinting at something.
"Then I can stay up all night with you guys, okay?"
How could Mizuki not understand Exusiai's thoughts? After not seeing each other for almost ten days, she wished she could pin Mizuki to the floor right now.
"Good!"
Exusiai clenched her fist, gave Texas and the others a thumbs up, and then the group ran to their dorm to shower and get some rest.
Mizuki packed all their luggage and had the tentacles take it over. It was during this time that he discovered that the tentacles seemed to have a space independent of the Material Realm and the Sea of Life, which was quite convenient for storing things. It seemed to be a very stable gap between two dimensions.
Of course, besides all that, he probably also needs to explain to the three girls behind him why they said he "has some connection with Kal'tsit."
Fortunately, Mostima and Lemuen simply gave them a considerate smile, indicating that while they were a little surprised, they didn't seem to think it was a big problem. After all, it was Mizuki, and it was normal for an unfamiliar woman to appear around from time to time.
"Aren't you going to ask me anything?"
"What else is there to ask?" Fiammetta couldn't help but roll her eyes and turn her head away. "Who knows how many more women's names we don't know we'll have to name if we ask you."
"Well, like Raffaella, Typhon, Mai-Mai, Ealchi, and... okay, I won't go into details."
Mizuki gently covered his mouth, then waved his hand to indicate that he had to get back to work. His time was indeed limited; he still had to process documents for the Doctor later. Then, tomorrow he would have to treat FrostNova and Mudrock. FrostNova's condition was even more serious than Ifrit's; she was always at the forefront of battle, using Originium Arts far too many times.
Speaking of Originium, Mizuki recalled the version of himself he had met in his dream. He suddenly realized that the peace Terra was now truly hard-won and as fragile as a balloon on a pinprick.
Without Mizuki's existence, Terra would face the Seaborn to the south, the Demons to the north, and the Originium that could erupt at any moment. The Sea Siren even said that there was something beneath Terra's surface. Considering the threat behind the stars that the Doctor had mentioned before, Mizuki suddenly felt that it was truly remarkable that this world had survived until now.
Now that the Seaborn are under the guidance of Mizuki, the appearance of the Sea Siren also represents a new possibility. Kal'tsit once confided that the appearance of Mizuki really made her feel relieved.
But that's not enough for Mizuki now, especially after witnessing so many failed dreams. Those were definitely not ordinary dreams, because every time Mizuki had such a dream, she could feel the Sea of Life becoming more active, as if it were becoming stronger.
"Do Originium and I counteract each other? The Doctor should know more, but she feels that telling me wouldn't solve much, or perhaps it's not the right time... But maybe she simply forgot."
Mizuki always had a strange understanding and unspoken tacit understanding with the Doctor. In any case, he would not be surprised no matter what happened to the Doctor.
There's a lot to do, not only to find out about my past, but also to prepare for any unexpected events that may occur in the future.
No one except the Doctor knew that Mizuki had projected the Sea of Life over the entire Terra, which was equivalent to hanging an extremely sharp sword over everyone's head. However, Mizuki did this without any hesitation or reluctance.
Especially when I think of myself, who failed to fight the Originium, turning the entire Terra into an apocalypse; who was forced to transform into the ocean, losing my own humanity; who smiled as I walked into the snowstorm...
Mizuki exhaled softly. Now, with just a thought, the world would be as cold as Sami and as arid as Sargon, with torrential rains soaking every corner. Not only would the Sea Siren be able to appear freely anywhere, but Mizuki's tentacles could also extend into the real world. According to the Doctor's prediction, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to control or even transform this planet.
In summary, it boils down to one sentence...
"Mizuki, how about we go for the invincible build?"
The Doctor student, reclining on the sofa with one hand supporting her chin, ate a small cake while watching Mizuki review her documents and couldn't help but utter this remark.
"Anyway, no one in Terra can beat you now. Three million Sea Siren plus tens of millions of Seaborn, what are you afraid of?"
"But wasn't it you, Doctor told me that violence can't solve all problems?"
"That's true," the Doctor nodded, "But violence is only effective if it can eliminate the people who create the problems."
During this period, I often went to the Medical Department to see Mizuki. After seeing so many patients suffering from Oripathy and learning that most of them were victims of persecution, Doctor really became more and more pessimistic about the world.
"Rosemary, Popukar, Liz, and Ifrit —they shouldn't be here. Priestess and I didn't create Originium for these people. Something's definitely wrong."
When they were alone together, the Doctor would often drop some shocking news on Mizuki without her noticing, such as that Originium was actually developed by her and a woman named Priestess.
(No, why do I subconsciously feel that Priestess is a woman, even though the name itself is somewhat feminine?)
This wasn't a mistake that Mizuki would make. He suddenly remembered that in the dream where the Originium had assimilated everything, the Doctor who called himself Izumik had said, "Since she awoke, everything has been out of control." In other words, Ms. Priestess was still alive, just like the Doctor, but he couldn't find her.
(I am Seaborn, Lady Priestess is Originium, so could the Doctor possibly correspond to Demons?)
After finishing reviewing the last document, Mizuki prepared to go back and cook for Exusiai. Of course, he made breakfast, because he had put some sleeping toxin in the room. The dosage was small enough to ensure sleep quality, and even an explosion might not wake them up.
In that sense, Mizuki felt that she was hardly a righteous person. After all, what righteous character would plan to destroy the world all day long? Mizuki even often discussed with the Doctor how to manage various places if it were really necessary to be a tyrant.
And thinking about it this way, Mizuki's abilities don't seem like those of a righteous person at all. Hypnosis, mind control, tentacles, manipulation of the five senses, and the presence of strong aphrodisiac components in her bodily fluids—these don't seem like abilities that a righteous person would possess. According to the Doctor, if Mizuki didn't have these abilities, then Terra's style might have changed by now.
"Doctor."
Mizuki squatted down, resting her hands on the sofa for support, and casually wiped the cream from the corner of the Doctor's mouth.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you think I'm a decent character or not?"
"Oh, so you've finally realized you're better suited to be a boss!"
The Doctor lady's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly sat up from the sofa.
"Honestly, I've always felt that our world might be a parallel universe, or like in an anime, but you, as the protagonist, are just too... emmmm, lawful chaos."
"Following the rules" means that Mizuki's actions all follow the basic rules. He will not do anything that goes against the rules, and he even seems quite well-behaved.
Chaos represents Mizuki's way of doing things and his thoughts; he is truly capable of drowning Terra just because of a single word from Doctor.
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"That's good." The Doctor rubbed Mizuki's head. "Sometimes you just shouldn't let things hold you back. Do whatever you want. Anyway, nobody on Terra can beat you."
"Although we always say that in Terra, force alone cannot solve all problems, no one can deny that the size of your fist determines the tone of your voice when you speak to someone."
"Take Kal'tsit for example. Ever since you came to Rhodes Island, she's become much more assertive when negotiating business with other companies. Before, she was always neither humble nor arrogant."
That makes a lot of sense. Now, every time Kal'tsit goes to negotiate business, all she can think about is, "We Rhodes Island have Mizuki and a whole bunch of Seaborn behind us. Come on, let's see who we're afraid of." She's become much more confident.
"In short, have more confidence in yourself. Although your abilities don't seem like those of a respectable person, it's not a big problem!"
"I don't feel like you're really trying to comfort me. Never mind." Mizuki kissed the Doctor on the cheek. "I'll go cook first, then I'll come keep you company while you work overtime."
"Don't you need to spend time with Exusiai and the others tonight?"
The Doctor made a knowing gesture, her smile particularly sly. Mizuki was already used to this kind of Doctor.
"I put some neurotoxin in the room. It has a sedative effect when nebulized. They won't wake up tonight no matter what. They can even sing karaoke in the dorm."
Mizuki's smile was also bright. He wasn't stupid. If he didn't take this opportunity to correct the sleep schedules of Exusiai and the others, then they would be sleeping during the day while he was at work, and at night he would be kept awake by four energetic girls. How could that be allowed?
"..."
The Doctor blinked, and finally couldn't help but ask a probing question.
"Mizuki, you really are a righteous character, right?"
"Yes."
"But why do I get the feeling that you're quite adept at using these abilities in these strange ways?"
"Doctor, why don't you give it a try?" Mizuki gently pressed against the Doctor. "It's not impossible for you to take the initiative. I'm quite flexible, so any position is fine."
These words made the Doctor lady think about them seriously, and finally she looked up at Mizuki with excitement.
"How about a JOJO pose?"
"... No one will want you if you continue like this."
"Isn't it enough that you're all I need?"
Miss Doctor chuckled and nuzzled Mizuki's face, thinking to herself that this boyfriend was really great, and that her love for him hadn't been in vain.
Chapter 153 Mizuki's Entanglement
The Twin Moons shone on the soft bed. The tightly closed eyes opened, and those emerald eyes flashed with many emotions, from the innocent ignorance of a child to the brilliance of a youth, then to the mature composure of an old age, and finally to a deathly stillness, a look like the ashes after a flame has burned out.
"I see."
Mr. K sat up in bed. Although she had died again, she had figured out many things.
In Mr. K's initial assumption, she believed that Mizuki was the source of all the conflicts. However, this was not the case. After all, according to the investigation, Mizuki's abnormality originated from an invitation she received from Columbia during a trip.
However, at that time, Scout, who was responsible for guarding the Preserver Facility, essentially told Mr. K that the Doctor was the point of conflict, while Mizuki was merely the most affected distortion and was gradually becoming a new point of conflict.
"So... Rhodes Island already knew about the Preserver's existence, as well as Rhine Lab and several other companies' cooperative relationships with it. This is all due to the Doctor's influence."
If someone were nearby at this moment, they would definitely be able to tell that Mr. K's natural voice is seven or eight parts similar to Kal'tsit's, but it always carries a hint of something strange and hoarse.
Subconsciously biting her nails, Mr. K frowned with a ferocious expression. This was an undeniable mistake; she had placed too much trust in her past memories and judgments. No matter how small the accumulation of errors may be, after multiple accumulations, they had long since reached a point that could not be ignored. Moreover, if this contradiction occurred early enough, its interference with the world would be even greater.
"So, exactly when did the Doctor become the point of contention...?"
Was it when she first woke up in the Sarcophagus? Or Babel and came into contact with something? Or when she was unearthed on Rhodes Island...? In any case, it couldn't have been when she first came to Columbia that the conflict arose.
It now appears that when Ms. Doctor came to Columbia under the guise of friendly exchange and provided financial assistance to organizations including Rhine Lab, her true purpose was the Preserver Facility buried beneath Trimounts. She had already met with the Preserver, Trevor Friston, and reached some kind of consensus, choosing to cooperate.
So what happened next? What role did the Doctor play?
"Now it seems that the Doctor has shown remarkable foresight in this matter in Columbia alone. Can she also foresee the future? Is it because of that Black Crown?"
The Black Crown, correctly numbered DWDB-221E, is one of the creations of an ancient civilization. It is a masterpiece, even a milestone, yet it has only been passed down as a record of that civilization. It possesses the ability to read the past and glimpse the future.
Besides the Black Crown, the only other entity qualified to do this is the ancient stone tablet buried in the deep sea. The Seaborn possess it and rely on its guidance to ensure the survival of their entire race. Given Mizuki's abilities, he has most likely become the leader of the Seaborn, so he may have already established a connection with that stone tablet.
A fully realized Mizuki, having mastered the Stele Forest of Moments, completed its evolution and ascension, fully connected with the Sea of Life, achieved Evolutionary Singularity, and commanded an entire the Brood of Seaborn as its fighting force, suddenly made Mr. K want to curse a few times. How was she supposed to fight this?
If she could defeat Mizuki, would she still need to work secretly and plot to kill the Doctor in Chernobog?
Besides, even if she could defeat Mizuki now, she couldn't kill him at all. Although Mr. K didn't know much about the Sea of Life, she knew that it was an unknown dimension independent of the Material Realm and the Warp. Its appearance was without warning, but it was definitely related to Mizuki, because every Mizuki could establish a connection with it.
"The key question now is why the Doctor became the twist point; this isn't what I expected."
Mr. K frowned. She was not surprised that the Mizuki became the point of contradiction. The Sea of Life is a dimension independent of the real world and is not affected by time and space. It exists at the point where the past, present and future cannot coexist. Therefore, the Mizuki in each parallel world can be connected and may produce changes.
