The Restless Ones in Mizuki's Household
Mizuki certainly wouldn't tell anyone, but she couldn't help pinching her cheek. She really didn't expect that she was so obedient when she was a child, doing whatever others told her to do. She was so indecisive.
However, I didn't expect that Irene would care so much about her figure. She is clearly a girl with a lot of principles, yet she would take the initiative to make such a request. Perhaps it's because she didn't know what to say to him after being seen naked by Mizuki, and she was also hit with a wave of criticism by the innocent boy Mizuki comparing the bust sizes of Doctor. and Skadi.
(If Miu Miu were here, she would definitely stop me)
Mizuki thought helplessly. Last night Muelsyse and the Sea Siren stayed at the research institute, saying they wouldn't be back until today. Otherwise, Mizuki's troubles would have been reduced by more than half, and it would have saved both Irene and him from this awkward situation.
"Didn't you just say there were two more courses of treatment?"
Suddenly remembering this, Irene couldn't help but glance at Mizuki, who thought for a moment.
"Yes, the main purpose is to prevent the increase in vitality from having a negative impact on your body; it's a refined adjustment."
"What if we don't do it?"
"That vitality might promote Peter's growth, such as making him taller or fatter."
This was so awkward. Irene couldn't help but cover her face, wanting to slap herself for what she did half an hour ago. All she did was get told her she had small breasts! Why did she have to make that kind of request?!
"Alright, alright, I admit it. Two more times... Don't tell anyone, this is our secret, understand?"
"Miss Irene, you seem a lot like one of those gamblers who have lost money but are still unwilling to accept it... Maybe you should just give up?"
Even Mizuki couldn't help but advise Irene. Although he wasn't at a disadvantage at all, in his own opinion, it wasn't a good deal at all. Irene's feel was only better than Croissant's, not Skadi's or Specter's.
"Forget it? You've already touched me once, what else can I do? Ah... why do I feel like I'm always so easily overwhelmed by my emotions lately?"
Irene clutched her head and kept banging it against the pillow. She was definitely not clean now, but she hadn't been thinking about finding a partner anyway, so it didn't seem like a big deal. But she still felt incredibly embarrassed.
It's unbelievable how she managed not to slap Mizuki when she had her hand on her chest.
"Actually, I don't really understand why Miss Irene is so concerned about size. Didn't you tell me you weren't planning on finding a partner?"
Mizuki took out a milk candy from her pocket. Just now, Irene said that she wouldn't look for a partner in the future and that he didn't need to worry about so much, so logically, he shouldn't need to care too much about these things.
"... Oh, right."
Irene suddenly paused, realizing that she seemed to have been overlooking a major blind spot all along.
"I'm not even planning to find a boyfriend, so what's the point of having such a great figure? It'll just get in the way of fighting."
Clutching her chest, Irene was utterly dumbfounded after realizing what had happened. How could she have forgotten that?
"Hmm, don't be disappointed." Mizuki was very familiar with this expression; Croissant always had this expression when she bought a bunch of things only to find she didn't need them at all. "At least you didn't lose money."
"... You still dare to talk!"
Irene couldn't help but glare at Mizuki, then clenched her fists, almost bursting into tears again. Was today her unlucky day? First, Mizuki had seen her naked, and then she finally thought she had something to look forward to, only to find that this hope was completely useless to her.
Upon reflection, it turned out that her first kiss yesterday had been given to Mizuki, and Irene felt that this guy had schemed against her. However, this was just her subjective speculation made out of displeasure, and she couldn't take it as true.
"I gave you my first kiss, and not only did you see everything, but you also... ah!"
"Calm down, calm down." Mizuki quickly grabbed Irene to prevent the girl from smashing her head against the wall. "Fine, I'll marry you, okay?"
Honestly, Irene felt that Mizuki was deliberately setting her up. Mizuki even suspected that the girl was using him as bait. He admitted that it was wrong of him to barge in earlier, but he wasn't the one who forced the kiss yesterday. Irene had also asked to touch him earlier. Why was he being treated like some kind of scumbag? Oh no, he wasn't human.
Why did things turn out like this? Seriously, even novels and movies wouldn't dare to write something like this.
"What did you say?"
"Otherwise, well... after all, what we've done has gone beyond the boundaries of ordinary friendship."
Although it was all very confusing, it was indeed as Mizuki had said. Irene blinked, thinking that it had only been two days, which was a bit too fast.
"I was just giving you a suggestion, thankfully Xiao Le won't mind. If you... never mind, you can just pretend I was talking nonsense."
Even Mizuki himself was now having a headache. He couldn't understand the plot development even after going through it himself, mainly because Irene always showed her extraordinary persistence in some strange ways.
Suddenly, he felt like he was back in Sami, but before that, he had to go to Columbia, and there was also the dream from last night... Mizuki clenched his fist, walked to the window, and looked up at the sky. The Sea of Life, invisible to ordinary people, rippled, as if greeting him.
But Mizuki knew very well that he himself was the Sea of Life, and after last night's dream, the Sea of Life had grown even larger than before.
If each act of self-sacrifice constitutes the life, evolution, miracles, and consciousness of the Sea of Izumik, then how many others have met their doom? Mizuki gritted her teeth softly.
Will he become a part of the Sea of Life?
"Sami... what's that?"
Mizuki raised an eyebrow and noticed a point suddenly appearing in the Sea of Life's field of vision. It seemed to be on the Sami Icefield, but it was nothing in the dimensions of the real world because the point did not have any of the dimensions that the Material Realm should have. Its existence could only be observed in the Immaterium.
This thing didn't exist yesterday. Mizuki has been regularly patrolling northern Terra recently; if it had existed before, it wouldn't have gone unnoticed. The Sea of Life also thought of Mizuki after discovering this location.
"It seems things are indeed worse over there than I thought."
Seeing that Mizuki seemed lost in thought, Irene hesitated for a moment but didn't interrupt him. She was just unsure how to broach the subject; what Mizuki had just said... was it a confession?
"You ask me why I should put pressure on Iberia? "Bolivar
The Doctor sipped her juice and looked at Exusiai, clearly not expecting this optimistic angel to care about such a thing.
"I'm just curious. After Doctor, neither you nor Mizuki are the kind of people who would be interested in power. I don't believe you two are planning to take Bolivar."
Exusiai knows her boyfriend's personality best. Mizuki likes to travel, enjoys food and playing games, and loves freedom, but he would never like power, even though he has already reached the top, he is still the same as before.
"It's not a complicated matter; we just plan to use Bolivar as a transit route. Hopefully, Iberia can provide some assistance. If possible, I don't want to cause too many unnecessary casualties."
"Borrowing passage... is it Sea Siren?"
"No, the Sea Siren are connected to the Sea of Life. They can reach any place the rain from the Sea of Life can reach, so we are borrowing the passage for the Seaborn."
The Doctor lady couldn't help but yawn. The nightmare she had last night and Mizuki's unusual behavior had kept her from getting a good night's sleep. That dream was definitely Mizuki's; sleeping in different beds but dreaming the same dream... was it because Mizuki drank her blood?
Were Izumik speaking to her at that moment, or to Mizuki?
If it's for her, that's fine, but if it's for Mizuki, then why call him "Doctor"?
"Borrowing through Bolivar... is it for Sami?"
"Hmm." The Doctor gently swirled the glass. "Although we already have the Sea Siren, the threat posed by Sami is far greater than we realize. Ursus and Sami both believe they have kept those inhuman beings out of civilization, unaware that the Demons of the Ice Plains have never truly looked at this world."
In other words, the other side has never been serious and has never launched any real attack. The threat facing northern Terra now is merely the leaked aura of the Warp Demons.
However, according to Mizuki's observations during this period, the invasion from the north showed signs of expansion, and at a rapid pace, which meant that the other side had begun to notice this world.
Although it's unknown whether the more powerful individuals will descend, preparations must be made.
And in last night's dream, she already knew what the consequences of Priestess' awakening would be. Thinking about the Observers behind the stars and the calamity underground, she really couldn't resist the urge to open her mouth.
"I'm already wondering if I should let Mizuki just release the finale."
It's exhausting. To go from questioning Kal'tsit to understanding Kal'tsit, all you need to do is understand what situation Terra is in. Although Seaborn situation is the most urgent, has become part of our fighting force because of Mizuki's problem, the Doctor is now feeling increasingly uncertain.
Last night's dream had a profound impact on her; she had thought that with Mizuki's help, Terra's problem should be easily solved.
However, upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that this is indeed unlikely. Although it is unknown what stage Mizuki has reached now, or whether she has evolved to an unimaginable level, Seaborn has still not exceeded the scope set by the Old Civilization.
If they cannot evolve to surpass their creator, the Seaborn species is destined to be unable to travel to more distant stars. The Sea Siren, however, has shown new possibilities. They inherited the personality left by the Doctor, imitated and learned, and then constantly improved themselves.
Now it all depends on whether there is hope for breaking the deadlock in the Sea of Life of Mizuki. Miss Doctor is certain that he is hiding something from her, but neither she nor Exusiai will ask. The highest expression of trust in a person is to unconditionally accept all his secrets.
Moreover, regardless of the circumstances, the most pressing issue right now remains the situation in the north. If it weren't for concerns about potential threats to the Snowfield Ice Sea of Sami, there would be no need to transit through the Bolivar.
"This is really... I thought it was going to be a lighthearted story, but it turns out to be a post-apocalyptic scenario."
Chapter 178 The Disturbing Elements of the Mizuki Family
For Gladiia, there was little difference between the countries on land and the wilderness; in fact, the savages might have caused less pollution and casualties to this land compared to the current Terra nations.
But she also had to admit that, even with Skadi and Specter by her own strength, she couldn't solve the problems Aegir was facing.
Gladiia has learned from Kal'tsit that Aegir has long been corrupted by the Church of the Deep. If she wants to return, her first priority is to eliminate those traitors and schemers; otherwise, the Seaborn thing will happen again and again.
What she found unbearable was that, aside from Rhodes Island, she not only had to accept cooperation with the Seaborn God, but even her only two companions had sided with the other side. If she hadn't observed that Laurentina and Skadi hadn't been affected mentally, she would have prioritized eliminating the two traitorous hunters, as this was the oath all Abyssal Hunters swore before joining the team.
"I need to be patient," Gladiia told herself. "I hope I can be patient."
She and Mizuki had never actually met in person; she had only seen his figure a few times from afar. However, because Mizuki did not possess Seaborn's aura, she had not taken any action against him until now. If it weren't for some strange connection between them at a certain distance, she would not have discovered Mizuki's true identity.
Kal'tsit is a qualified ally; even if she only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of Rhodes Island's secrets, she knew that Rhodes Island was an ally worth befriending.
Compared to the scheming and infighting among various countries, Rhodes Island is indeed striving to maintain a certain cautious balance and is qualified to be a partner of Aegir, but it is still not quite enough.
Mizuki became the center of everything. When a person is in a high enough position, the greater the influence he can have. Gladiia also heard about the peace talks Mizuki Iberia and Seaborn, and she had to admit that she had indeed considered the peace talks for a moment.
However, Gladiia refused to yield. There were a total of four teams of Abyssal Hunters: one team was responsible for clearing the way, the fourth team was responsible for covering the rear, and the second and third teams launched a decapitation operation against the gods of the Seaborn.
Death is the hunters' destiny; otherwise, they will either descend into madness or become one of the Seaborn, becoming one of the stronger individuals among them.
"They're here..."
There was a knock on the office door. Gladiia heard the sound of the office staff going to open the door, as well as the Doctor's voice.
"Oh my, no wonder Rhodes Island spends so much money every year on the maintenance and construction of its offices. It's really convenient to have a place to rest and replenish supplies wherever you go."
Miss Doctor wiped the sweat from her forehead. The weather was nice today, even a bit hot. It was torture not having Mizuki to hold her.
"Captain~ Captain, are you there?"
Specter called out to Gladiia, knowing Gladiia should be waiting for her there. She hadn't seen the second captain for a long time, and she had thought that apart from herself and Skadi, she had no other companions. Upon learning of Gladiia's existence, she was overjoyed, so that night she couldn't resist and had sex with Mizuki with Skadi.
To be honest, Specter was a little guilty. Although Mizuki wasn't Seaborn, he was the leader of the Seaborn. Now, all the Seaborn would consider whether Mizuki's orders were beneficial to the Brood Seaborn, and most would likely obey.
There is no doubt that Gladiia dislikes Seaborn. That night, Specter was mainly worried that the meeting between Mizuki and Gladiia would cause some unpleasantness, aside from being a little unable to resist.
On one side was the captain who had taken good care of her, and on the other was the lover she had entrusted her life to. Moreover, she was also thinking of bringing Gladiia into her camp, which was basically to expand Mizuki's harem. So she felt a little guilty about not being able to say it.
Skadi followed Specter's gaze, looking around before finally joining Specter in looking towards the stairwell. The wooden stairs creaked slightly, and Skadi immediately knew it was best to avoid stepping onto them.
Gladiia carried her long spear downstairs, looking at Skadi and Specter, but she didn't see Mizuki or the Seaborn Hai Mo mentioned in the communications a while ago.
That's good, at least the conflict won't come too quickly.
Gladiia didn't know how to greet Specter, nor how to face Skadi, who harbored another Seaborn spirit within her. But now, facing each other, she felt unusually relaxed, sensing nostalgia and joy in their eyes.
"Captain!" Specter ran over excitedly, "I've found a girlfriend, do you want one?"
Okay, back to the preface. My daughter's mind might be a bit off. I heard that the injection of a large amount of highly concentrated Originium liquid into her nervous system not only caused a split personality but also seemed to affect other areas, like her values?
Where is Mizuki?
"Ah, he heard that the Church of Life is quite active here, so he went to clean house, or rather, to discipline the children."
Specter's expression was rather strange. Being Mizuki's girlfriend requires a certain amount of mental fortitude, such as being prepared to be the mother of over three million Sea Siren and learning to maintain one's position among two sisters.
Gladiia had heard of the Church of Life and had even seen Sea Siren, but she simply couldn't reconcile a group of carefree girls with the reckless Seaborn. Even Mizuki still carried some of the Seaborn's scent, but the Sea Siren truly had nothing but the smell of seawater.
"Hey Captain, enough said. It's a rare opportunity for us to meet. When you see Mizuki later, don't rush to attack her. Be patient."
"... I'll try my best."
Mizuki holds a very special position in the Seaborn affair; she can be considered the most crucial figure. During this time Gladiia has tried very hard to calm herself down. If it weren't for the fact that Mizuki doesn't have much of Seaborn's aura on her, she probably would have stabbed her on sight.
"The main issue is that you can't beat Mizuki either. Calming down and talking things out would be better for both of us."
Specter's words made Gladiia's face darken once again. How come Laurentina's mouth has become so sharp again after such a short time?
Although I knew before that Laurentina was a bit sharp-tongued, and that I might really be no match for Mizuki, was it really necessary to say it out loud? What was wrong with saving face? So many people were watching!
As Gladiia was thinking this, on the other side of the shore, Mizuki couldn't help but cover her face as she looked at the more than one hundred Sea Siren in front of her.
"Don't you want to explain to me why you thought of becoming pirates when I told you to find decent jobs?"
This is something difficult to talk about. Mizuki originally thought that these Sea Siren were too idle, which is why they kept causing trouble. That's why she let them find their own jobs, even farming would be fine.
Therefore, he basically turned a blind eye to the establishment of the Church of Life, even though the Sea Siren's descriptions of him were somewhat sinister, but at least they were indeed doing good deeds.
But when it came to being pirates, there was no question about it. When Mizuki arrived, these girls were planning where to raid and plunder, and they had even prepared a ship.
"Report, we just feel... this line of work is exciting."
"How about I throw you all one by one onto the Snowfield and freeze you into ice sculptures? Wouldn't that be more exciting?"
"Dad, will you tell me or not... Waaah!"
A Sea Siren who wanted to speak was silenced by her best friend. Although Mizuki was kind to them, she was ruthless when it came to taking action. When Shuiyue heard that it was Sea Siren #233 who tricked Irene into coming to her to help her develop her figure, Mizuki simply threw her into the Snowfield of Sami. Anyway, she hasn't returned yet.
Therefore, the Sea Siren felt that they couldn't use water as their bodies when they went to Sami; they would have to use antifreeze, or even lava. As long as it was liquid, the Sea Siren wouldn't be limited to water alone.
"In short, we have already signed a peace agreement with Iberia. You are not allowed to harass them. The Iberia have already suffered enough."
Mizuki wasn't always that gentle and sunny person. When he got serious, he gave off an unexpected air of solemnity and subconscious fear. The Sea Siren could sense the dissatisfaction he was conveying, so they all curled up their tails and dared not speak.
"Um... Izumik, actually we didn't intend to attack Iberia."
Sea Siren #11111 raised her hand, looking somewhat aggrieved.
"So who do you want to fight, Bolivar or the Higashi? It can't be the Great Yan, can it?"
