Why Sankta Have Small Chests

"Hey, sir, could you let us have your Little Bird as an operator for Rhodes Island? We've already finalized the cooperation, so shouldn't we send someone to it?"

After finishing her juice, the Doctor lady couldn't help but chuckle mischievously, rubbing her hands together, her previous serious demeanor completely gone, as if revealing her true nature.

Seeing the shameless behavior of the Doctor, Carmen didn't know why, but suddenly felt that this was the Doctor's true intention. But then again, it didn't make sense. Was it really necessary to initiate this peace talk for the sake of Irene?

However, what the Doctor said is indeed true. Iberia needs someone to be stationed at Rhodes Island to handle certain matters, since Mizuki is also on Rhodes Island. Putting aside the current situation between Iberia and the Sea Siren, there will likely be various frictions and conflicts in the future, and it would Tai He if there was no one to coordinate with Mizuki.

After much thought, I could only ask Irene to make do, especially since she's so young and definitely deserves to see what the outside world is like.

"OK."

Irene didn't hear this conversation. She was currently blushing and her heart was pounding from Specter's teasing. The young girl, who had never even been in a relationship, was no match for Specter, a carnivorous creature. Just a few words of verbal banter were enough to make Irene blush uncontrollably.

"Cute Little Bird, how about coming to Rhodes Island with us? It's quite big over there."

Specter's fingers gently stroked Irene's back, making her shiver involuntarily.

"You, you, you... stay away from me!"

Irene was no longer the composed and imposing woman she once was. In Iberia, people respected her as a judge and dared not approach her easily, but Specter didn't care about any of that. She just thought the Little Bird was strangely cute to tease, a feeling she hadn't had in a long time.

After all, Skadi Exusiai and the others are too carefree, so she can't easily tease Mizuki. Otherwise, she might lose control first and end up with a sore back and aching waist. Chasing and hacking at Seaborn for three days with a saw is not as tiring as fighting Mizuki for three hours.

Hmm... thinking about it, I suddenly want to see what kind of adorable expressions this Little Bird makes at other times.

"Sister Laurentina, stop teasing her."

Mizuki rubbed his temples and stopped Specter's behavior. He knew that Specter was a bit cunning, sharp-tongued, and liked to tease people, but he hadn't shown these traits to Mizuki much. Most of the time, Specter would just hug Mizuki, rub his chin against his head while watching him play games, or play something else together.

Now, Irene's arrogant and aloof demeanor has actually stirred up Specter's wicked sense of humor. Mizuki has no choice but to stop her, since her parents are watching, and it's not fair to bully her like this.

"Since Mizuki has put it that way, then so be it."

Specter released his grip somewhat disappointedly, then walked up to Mizuki, gently crouched down, and leaned forward slightly.

Mizuki knew what she meant. She took off Specter's hat and gently ruffled her hair. At the same time, she lightly tapped Specter's head with her ring finger. Ghost Shark seemed to understand something and gave Mizuki a sweet smile, thinking that this was more like compensation.

This little gesture, of course, didn't escape Exusiai's notice. She reached out and pinched Mizuki's waist, making no attempt to hide her jealousy.

"Mizuki." Skadi approached, sword in hand and a bag of beautiful seashells in her other. "They've found them."

"That's good. I was worried I wouldn't be able to bring back any souvenirs for everyone this time."

Mizuki gently patted her chest, then picked up the seashells and began sorting them, intending to make them into bracelets or necklaces to take back as gifts for everyone.

The peace talks ended just like that, at a speed and in a way that no one expected. Iberia had initially estimated that it would take at least two days, but the Doctor agreed so readily, without even a hint of procrastination.

They just felt like something was off, but Carmen couldn't quite put her finger on it. It was like they were punching a pillow.

No, that description doesn't quite fit. It's like Liu Bang suspecting that Xiang Yu was planning a trap at the Hongmen Banquet at Hongmen, but after making all the preparations and going there, he discovered that Xiang Yu really just wanted to invite him to dinner, even hot pot and barbecue, and afterwards, he even invited him to karaoke.

Meanwhile, on the coastal cliffs not far from Tide Stone Town, Siren No. 666 looked at the cave in front of him and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "There really is such an entrance. But it's hidden here. No wonder no one has bothered to look for it for so many years."

"This coastline is full of these caves; no one would notice anything special about this place. Who would bother to come and look?"

Sea Siren #233 said this, and the two of them walked into the cave together. They walked straight for about a hundred meters and turned several corners before finally seeing a blue light. The damp cave was filled with glowing moss and vegetation, and not far ahead was a black teru teru bozu, exactly the same as the one on the Mizuki Umbrella.

"This is definitely the place. I need to go back first to prevent Iberia from noticing anything amiss."

"Here you go, so I don't run into trouble."

He took out a bag of pearls and tossed it to Number 233. This time, Number 666 wouldn't be operating openly; it would be good for him to stay here and guard against any unexpected incidents.

Thanks, my dear sister!

Now there's no need to worry about being noticed by the Iberia. Sea Siren No. 233 submerged into the water and quickly disappeared from 666's sight. The latter didn't rush into the depths of the cave to see what was inside; Izumik had said it was best not to move around.

Peace talks were indeed not Mizuki's goal, because Iberia's attitude posed no threat to the Sea Siren and the Seaborn, and Mizuki's enemies had never been them.

He was dealing with the threat from the northern Snowfield, the Originium Cataclysm that could awaken at any moment, and even the supreme will behind the stars that could easily crush this nascent civilization. With such goals in mind, how could he possibly hinder the Iberia poems?

However, this ruin is located within Iberia. If the Iberia were to discover its existence, there's no guarantee they wouldn't harbor ill intentions. Even obtaining just a little technology from this ancient civilization's ruin could cause irreparable consequences. Therefore, the Doctor's identity as a descendant of Old Civilization needs to be concealed.

Although the Sea Siren didn't quite understand why Mizuki was going through so much trouble, since it was his order, they would obey unconditionally.

"The sea... it's so vast."

Exusiai took off her coat, revealing a short-sleeved shirt underneath, and felt the sea breeze blowing. Texas was curious about what was on the other side of the sea, while Skadi strolled around the restored town, feeling a sense of home there.

I remember when Mizuki found her, the Damp Town was already in ruins. Mizuki and she lived in a house that wasn't too dilapidated, but now that it's been rebuilt, I can't even find which house it was.

"We should have brought Susie along," Mizuki muttered. Susie had always wanted to visit the beach, but she never had the time.

"How about we all go to Siesta next time?"

As she spoke, the Doctor winked at Mizuki. Siesta is a tourist city with a music festival, so there's nothing wrong with going there for a vacation. Most importantly, Siesta is an independent city within Columbia and is not subject to Columbia control, making it much easier to move around in Rhodes Island.

The purpose of this trip was to find out why Mizuki stayed in Tide Stone Town. It was pretty much the same as what the Doctor had guessed: the entrance was right here. Mizuki had stayed in Damp Town for a long time to find the entrance, where she met Skadi and completed her final adaptation to the Heart of Deep Blue. Only in this way could it be explained.

Mizuki only had two sources of information: one was Bishop Cicero of the Deep Sea, and the other was Trevor Friston, most likely the latter. The matter was shrouded in mystery, yet the Doctor, the mastermind behind it all, remembered nothing.

Are you sure Kal'tsit will agree?

"Isn't this what you're here for?" The Doctor shoved Specter aside and started massaging Mizuki's back. "My dear Mizuki, others might not notice, but do you think I don't? Your relationship with Kal'tsit has progressed so quickly lately. Just whisper a few words in her ear, and besides, we're going to Siesta for serious business."

"Really?" Mizuki tilted her head, her cute face full of doubt. "But why do I feel like Doctor, you just want to see everyone in swimsuits?"

Silence is the best answer. Miss Doctor never expected that Mizuki would so directly reveal her thoughts. She didn't know why, but while others could never see through her, Mizuki could guess her every time.

"If you don't agree, then I'll give your dorm room door to Rosemary."

"It's okay, my dorm room key is with Closure, it costs 100 Lungmen dollars each." Mizuki spread her hands helplessly, "Besides, Rosemary never needs a key to come to my room, she just breaks the door open."

Seeing the helplessness in Mizuki's eyes, the Doctor suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for him and couldn't help but frown.

That Closure, taking the Mizuki Fortune and not even including her? That's so unfair!

Chapter 165 Discussing Why Sankta Has Small Breasts

That night, Mizuki and her group Tide Stone Town as usual. Although there were no ordinary residents in the town, Mizuki and the others did not feel bored. They always found ways to entertain themselves, and they could play cards for three hours after dinner.

Irene really couldn't understand where these guys got so much energy to play these games, but out of courtesy to her host, she played with them until after 11 o'clock. It was indeed a lot of fun, especially with the big Demon King Mizuki around. Everyone took turns challenging him one-on-one, and there was an indescribable sense of accomplishment after winning.

But the Little Bird is very tired now, and all she wants to do is sleep.

Meanwhile, Dario arrived at Mizuki's door and gently knocked.

"Sir, are you asleep?"

After a moment of silence, Dario heard the sound of the blanket being pulled back inside the room. The door opened, and Mizuki's clear face appeared before him. Judging from her pajamas, she must have been lying down.

Is there something you need?

"It's like this, you should know about the existence of the Church of the Deep. They have many ties with Seaborn. Because of your appearance, all efforts have been in vain. Lady Carmen is worried that the Church of the Deep may take action here, so please be careful."

"Thank you, but I believe the Iberia Inquisition is capable of handling this matter."

"Of course, I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest, I'll take my leave now."

"No need to apologize, I wasn't asleep yet anyway."

Mizuki waved her hand and closed the door again. Dario glanced at the time; it was almost midnight, and he should be asleep by now, but Mizuki wasn't asleep yet... no, he was still in the room. Maybe he really had disturbed him.

With that thought in mind, Dario walked back to Carmen's room, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open.

Carmen was also awake, and hadn't even changed her clothes; she was still wearing her judge's uniform, with all her weapons lying around for defense.

"Your Excellency Carmen, it's confirmed that they're all in their rooms. Apart from Izumik, the rest just came out to get some supper."

"Um."

One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others. This is Carmen's idea. Mizuki and others have indeed shown a love for peace and a yearning for the future, but if he had chosen to lower his guard because of this, then Iberia would have been wiped out countless times.

Today's negotiations went very smoothly, but it was precisely because they went too smoothly that Carmen suspected that Mizuki and the others had ulterior motives. If they did, then tonight would be the best time to take action.

However, at least they chose not to act tonight. Carmen knew that if Mizuki made a move, then only war would await Iberia.

"Lady Carmen, have the people from the Church of the Deep returned?"

"Yes, they will." Carmen looked at the map of Terra before her, pondering what Doctor needed Bolivar to do. "They were abandoned by the Seaborn. Someone will always want to find Izumik, the one who led the Seaborn, to seek an answer. There are traitors in the Inquisition."

It is an indisputable fact that not everyone is as steadfast as the judges. It is not surprising that some members of the Inquisition have defected to the Church of the Deep. In fact, the Inquisition may even use these spies to transmit false information to the Church of the Deep.

Carmen still felt something was amiss, but she didn't feel uneasy. The Church of the Deep must know they would be here to receive Izumik, but they shouldn't be arriving so soon.

But what exactly is wrong?

"Oh right, this is it." Mizuki pointed to the cave in front of her. "I remember this place; I've dreamed about it several times."

"Those Iberia are really wary." The miniature version of Muelsyse, sitting on Mizuki's shoulder, sensed the information coming from the water clone. Iberia is close to the sea, so Muelsyse's clone can maintain a greater distance.

Thankfully, she brought Muelsyse along this time; otherwise, Mizuki was worried that her illusions wouldn't be able to affect everyone, especially that old man named Carmen. His mental fortitude was extraordinary; while others' willpower was like wire, his was like a steel pillar.

"I never imagined that you, Miu Miu, had been hiding inside Mizuki's body all along. By the way, what kind of state are you two in? Have you merged?"

The Doctor pretended not to know anything. Tonight, apart from the Sea Siren and Ho'olheyak, almost all of them came. Using Muelsyse's water clone to create an alibi was indeed a good method.

As for why they didn't bring Ho'olheyak, it's because both the Doctor and Mizuki felt that letting her see what the place they were going to was like might cause her worldview to collapse.

"No, that's not it." Muelsyse shook his head. "If you really want to put it that way, it's more like symbiosis, and Mizuki's body structure is also very special, which is why I can do this."

"Honestly, no matter how many times I see her, she always seems so small, and quite cute."

Exusiai stroked her chin. Although it was a bit surprising that Muelsyse was here, she had already tacitly allowed Mizuki to continue down the Muelsyse line, so naturally she couldn't be angry.

If the Empress didn't care, Texas had even less to say. She was now just as curious as Skadi and the others about what was inside the cavern in front of them.

According to the Doctor and Mizuki's speculation, Mizuki couldn't have come to this place specifically to fish for Skadi. He must have lingered here for a long time to find something, and then had to leave without saying goodbye to Skadi.

"Is it really okay for us to just walk in like this?"

"The Sea Siren have scouted the area; there shouldn't be any problems."

"Oh... speaking of which, we didn't bring Ho'olheyak and Irene. The Liberi are definitely the most clueless race on Terra."

The Doctor couldn't help but complain that this saying existed even before she transmigrated: the Liberi would never understand what was going on, as if they weren't included in the game.

"It's not what you said, Doctor; Ho'olheyak might not be able to accept reality."

"That's true, but I wasn't planning on bringing your wife anyway, if possible."

This matter is somewhat risky. If possible, Doctor originally only planned to go with Mizuki, but since we're all on the same side, there's no need to hide anything.

"I have quite a few wives, could you specify which one?"

Mizuki raised her hand, and these straightforward and honest words left Doctor speechless for a moment. In the end, she covered her face and pointed at Exusiai and Skadi.

"One of them is the host of Seaborn's Firstborn, and the other is connected to the Command System underground in Laterano. Skadi is alright, even if she evolves once, she can't beat you, but Exusiai... I'm worried that she might unconsciously transmit data to Laterano's central control machine."

This isn't the first time Doctor has mentioned Laterano and the Command System. Exusiai found it quite strange last time, but Doctor dismissed it as unintentional. But how do we explain this time?

It's no secret that Skadi became Ishar-mla's host; Mizuki can sense her presence. However, the Seaborn the Brood no longer obeys Ishar-mla's commands, so Skadi isn't too much of a concern. It's just that the Doctor doesn't know what the Command System beneath Laterano is in essence.

"Command System, so Doctor, you mean we Sankta are all connected to that Command System?"

"That's right, you Sankta... never mind, with Mizuki around, it probably won't cause too much of a problem. Let's go."

With Mizuki backing her up, the Doctor didn't plan to stop Exusiai from going with her. Since she was Mizuki's girlfriend, she was bound to find out sooner or later; it was just a matter of time. At least that level of trust was necessary.

The group entered the cave together. Siren No. 666 quickly stood up and bowed to Mizuki, then followed behind the others. The Doctor then began to recount some unknown past events.

"Terra's life forms are inherently distorted; ten thousand years is far from enough for them to evolve into human form. Of course, I'm not sure if Aegir is the same."

"The time required for a humanoid to evolve into a human is at least a million years, but the civilization of Terra at this stage has only evolved for about ten thousand years, which is inconsistent with the law."

"Originium distorted the life forms of Terra, causing various races to become what they are today. Over the past ten thousand years, Terra itself has also continuously changed its form, becoming something I don't even recognize."

As they ventured deeper into the cave, Mizuki removed the Black Sunny Doll of Japanese doll) she had placed at the entrance and replaced her flashlight with glowing plants.

"Leave all your Originium items here, otherwise the system might identify us as enemies."

Upon hearing this, the group put down their flashlights and weapons on the ground and continued walking forward with the Doctor and Mizuki.

The Doctor was in charge of explaining, while Mizuki was responsible for everyone's safety. At the same time, she tried hard to recall the scene when she first came here, and her inspiration gradually became clearer. This was indeed a place she had been before, but something was vaguely different. Perhaps it was because last time she came, it was just the two of them... no, just the two of them?

Mizuki subconsciously looked at the Doctor beside her, wanting to reach out and hold his Doctor, but then she held back.

"So, Doctor, you mean we've all been turned into humans because of the influence of Originium?"

"Well, otherwise, at the normal rate, Terra wouldn't have a normal civilization for at least three million years." The Doctor was quite confident about this. "I suspect that the Terra are susceptible to Oripathy because your life forms are affected by Originium. Seaborn doesn't get Oripathy; you could even say he's Oripathy opposed to it."

There was a lot of information, but thankfully everyone could handle it. After all, spending so much time with Mizuki and eating so much Jellyfish-chan not only helped with physical development but also had some benefits for the brain. Besides, everyone here was educated.

Texas had private tutors, Exusiai is a legitimate Laterano graduate, and Specter and Skadi need no introduction. Aegir's education and technology are quite advanced, and Muelsyse is a renowned scholar even in Columbia.

"Then why did you say, Doctor, that you weren't sure the Aegir were the same?"
