Footage of Kal'tsit and Mizuki's Operation
Muelsyse was much better; she never forced Ifrit to take medicine, and even if she did, she would wrap it in water and put it directly into her stomach.
Unfortunately, Miss Muelsyse is temporarily too ashamed to show her face because of yesterday's incident. Ifrit couldn't help but sigh, thinking to herself that Miu Miu has had a tough time; she finally found a boyfriend, but he's so fickle. If Ifrit were to see him, she would definitely...
"I'll go deliver the goods now, see you at noon~"
"See you at noon. I'll have lunch ready for you when you get back."
Mizuki waved her hand with a smile, Exusiai's smile was even brighter. Last night she finally experienced the feeling of winning a game back, and she was so happy. Although she didn't go to sleep until six in the morning, the thought of Muelsyse being forced to eavesdrop under the bed made her feel incredibly good!
"Then I want to eat pork ribs!"
"Okay, go ahead."
"Mua~"
Before leaving, Exusiai gave Mizuki a kiss on the cheek, then covered her mouth and walked away.
It wasn't that she really wanted to laugh, it's just that she couldn't hold on much longer last night, and she used every inch of her mouth she could. Although she had rinsed her mouth, it was still a little sore. However, she didn't need to eat breakfast, as there was no extra room in her stomach.
For Exusiai, this should be her first real major victory, but she and Muelsyse have also formed a grudge. Mizuki feels a bit of a headache.
"You are... the boyfriend Miu Miu was talking about?"
A strong voice rang out behind Mizuki. The owner of the voice sounded like a very passionate girl. Mizuki turned around and met Ifrit's gaze as she sat on the hospital bed.
"You're Ifrit?"
"It is indeed me! Wait, how do you know me?"
Ifrit immediately became alert, while Mizuki couldn't help but scrutinize the black Originium crystals on her body.
It's clear that Ifrit's Oripathy is still at a dangerously severe level, but she seems to be still debating whether or not to take medication.
"Mai-Mai and Miu Miu told me about you. They said Ifrit is easy to recognize; she's the one who looks very strong."
"That's right, I'm very powerful!"
After all, she was still a child, and Ifrit was easily flattered by a few compliments. Mizuki, on the other hand, could understand why Magellan had asked her to help Ifrit if she could.
Honestly, if she weren't on Rhodes Island, her condition would probably have spiraled out of control long ago.
"Wait, you know Mai-Mai?"
Ifrit suddenly realized that something seemed amiss. Mizuki, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised. He had assumed that Muelsyse had discussed these matters with Ifrit; hadn't the two of them been eating together yesterday?
"Yes, we met on the Snowfield."
Mizuki and Muelsyse met in Sami. Magellan was with Muelsyse at the time. Their goal was to find Muelsyse's people. The three of them traveled together for a long time and many interesting things happened.
Magellan was a very enthusiastic and inquisitive girl. In layman's terms, she was practically a born adventurer, wanting to study everything, including various research materials.
"So, are you Miu Miu's boyfriend or Mai-Mai's boyfriend?"
"I'm Xiao Le's boyfriend, and Mai-Mai and I are just friends. As for Miu Miu... she should have already explained it to you."
Mizuki had no intention of deceiving anyone in this regard; she simply sat down next to Ifrit and looked at the medicine in her hand.
Don't you want to eat?
"Nonsense, who would want to eat something so bitter? But if I don't eat it, Silence will nag me and pull my ear..."
"Then eat it, it's very sweet."
Ifrit stared at Mizuki with a look that seemed to say, "Do you think I'm easy to fool?" The latter waved her hand helplessly.
"I'm serious. Dr. Kal'tsit said this is a newly developed drug from Rhodes Island. They made some adjustments to the taste. You can try it. If it's still too bitter, I'll lend you my game console."
Magellan and Muelsyse told Mizuki that a certain Mrs. Silence was very strict with Ifrit, and since Ifrit loved to play, she had secretly asked Muelsyse to bring her game consoles several times. It was said that Mrs. Silence had become Ifrit's nominal guardian.
"Real?"
"Of course it's true, look."
Mizuki pulled a game console out of his pocket. Leaving aside how his small pocket could fit such a thing, Ifrit didn't hesitate at all, and threw the medicine in his hand into his mouth without even drinking a drop of water.
However, there was no bitterness; rather, it was a sweetness that made you want to eat candy, Ifrit could even say she liked this feeling.
"It's really not bitter!"
"Right? Here you go." Mizuki handed the game console to Ifrit. "This is a reward for being a good girl and taking your medicine."
Don't treat me like an easy-to-please little kid!
As Ifrit spoke, she took the game console from Mizuki and started playing happily. Mizuki wanted to say something, but Kal'tsit pushed open the door to the examination room and walked in.
"Mizuki, come with me. Hmm, Ifrit, did you forget to take your medicine again?"
"I ate it! Don't believe me? Ask this blue-haired guy... Oh, what's your name again?"
Just call me Mizuki.
"Oh right, Mizuki, he watched me finish eating!"
Faced with Kal'tsit's questioning gaze, Mizuki nodded slightly to acknowledge that it was indeed the case. This was somewhat unexpected, as Ifrit should have been wearing a sour face after taking the drug, yet she was so happy.
"Speaking of which, Kal'tsit, if you had known beforehand that you would make the medicine sweet, I would never have refused to eat it."
"Sweet..."
Mizuki must have done something, Kal'tsit's intuition told her, but now was not the time to dwell on such questions.
"It's fine once you've eaten. I'll talk to Silence. Let's go, Mizuki, it's time for your checkup."
"OK."
As Mizuki got up to leave, she suddenly noticed Ifrit's conflicted expression; she had just gotten her hands on the game console and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it yet.
"Remember to return it to me when you have time."
After saying that, Mizuki followed Kal'tsit out of the ward, leaving Ifrit alone. She looked at the game console in her hand and suddenly felt that this kid named Mizuki was quite nice and someone she could get along with!
Such a minor incident was of no consequence to Mizuki. Although Ifrit was a rash girl, she was not inherently bad or unruly, and Mizuki was not worried about any accidents happening to her gaming opportunity.
Did you do something?
"Yes, I tricked her taste buds a little, reversing the sensations of bitter and sweet."
Deceiving the five senses is one of Mizuki's less frequently used but extremely useful abilities. She used this trick when she moved Exusiai and the others to that hotel.
"This is also one of your abilities; use it on me."
"Now?"
"Yes, shut down my pain receptors."
"It's all better now."
The moment Kal'tsit finished speaking, Mizuki had already fulfilled her request. She casually pinched her arm; it didn't hurt.
Is this the effect of some kind of electrical signal or pheromone? No, Mizuki shouldn't have had direct contact with Kal'tsit, but this couldn't possibly be Originium Arts either.
"Alright, this is the place. Let's go in."
Just as the Doctor thought, because of Mizuki's special identity, Kal'tsit did intend to give him a separate examination. She even had to prevent a certain mischievous Warfarin from setting her sights on Mizuki, as that guy would definitely not be able to resist Mizuki's blood.
We'll discuss Mizuki's abilities later. For now, Kal'tsit plans to examine his various aspects first. Previous examinations of certain tissues and blood have piqued her interest in Mizuki.
What do I need to do?
"It's nothing, you just need to lie down, I'll administer anesthesia, okay?"
"That might not work. My body is basically immune to drugs. However, I can sleep if Dr. Kal'tsit needs me to, unless the Doctor calls me or I experience some painful stimulation, otherwise I won't wake up."
Mizuki waved his hand. He was basically immune to anesthetics and poisons, as well as cold medicine, because he had no need for them. The toxins in his body were far more potent than any poison concocted by others, and he wouldn't get sick.
"Alright then, since it won't require any surgery anyway."
It's just a medical check-up. The anesthesia is just to make sure there's nothing that will make Mizuki uncomfortable. Kal'tsit respects his personal wishes, as long as he still considers himself a decent person.
In addition, Mizuki herself wanted to get some rest. Last night, she was mostly trying to provoke Muelsyse. She would rather be tormented by Mizuki until she fainted than let go. The noise was so loud that even Texas and the others on the other side and Mudrock and the others next door could hear it. Muelsyse was so angry that she evaporated.
This led to Mizuki not sleeping at all last night, as she spent a lot of time cleaning the room and making breakfast afterwards.
(I feel like Xiao Le and Miu Miu are bound to have a fight sooner or later.)
Mizuki sighed helplessly, then lay down on the examination equipment and closed her eyes decisively.
He fell asleep in an instant, incredibly fast. Kal'tsit was just about to make him a cup of calming black tea when she realized that Mizuki was already asleep and couldn't help but marvel at how absurdly fast he was.
Young people are so lucky; they can fall asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow. I really envy them.
"Let's begin the inspection."
Kal'tsit casually placed the calming tea on the table, intending to drink it herself later. She didn't notice at all that the air seemed to become strange the moment she turned around. Something quietly appeared, and she couldn't see the tentacles of the Mizuki emerging from the corner. Adhering to the principle that they wouldn't be seen anyway, one of them stretched out, and a drop of dark blue liquid fell from its tip into the calming tea.
This single drop was several times more effective than the whole packet from the Doctor, but the tentacles still felt it might not be enough, so they added a little more, almost overflowing the container.
The venom dissolves in water and becomes invisible, colorless, and odorless, but the tentacles originally intended to make it taste like cola.
After adjusting the equipment, Kal'tsit picked up the cup of calming tea to drink, but found that there seemed to be more tea in the cup than before. However, she couldn't figure out why, and could only conclude that she had misremembered.
The calming tea specially prepared by Kal'tsit has a calming and sleep-inducing effect on others, but with just a little coffee powder added, it becomes extremely invigorating. She casually added some coffee powder and then drank the whole cup.
"It's time to begin."
Kal'tsit felt incredibly clear-headed, but for some reason felt a bit hot, so she casually turned on the air conditioner and walked over to Mizuki's side.
If you open his mouth and take a look, the inside is no different from a normal person's, except that his teeth are whiter.
(I wonder what it would feel like to kiss it, it'll probably be very soft)
A thought suddenly popped into Kal'tsit's mind, and she was stunned for a moment. Then she suddenly wanted to slap herself. Why did she have to think about such a thing for no reason?
Did I take the wrong medicine?
Shaking her head to clear her mind of these random thoughts, Kal'tsit continued her inspection. Mizuki's clothes were quite easy to remove; she could untie them with ease.
As her fingers glided across Mizuki's smooth skin, Kal'tsit could clearly feel her heart racing and her body temperature rising, a reaction that shouldn't have occurred in her.
As an old woman who has lived for tens of thousands of years, Kal'tsit looks completely like a young lady, but she has been practicing medicine for many years and this is not the first time she has come into contact with men. It is impossible for her to have such a reaction to Mizuki.
"Could it be that calming tea?"
Kal'tsit looked at the small cup and couldn't help but click her tongue, feeling her lips and tongue were a little dry, driven by some kind of primal genetic instinct.
Actually, if it were just one drop, it wouldn't be unbearable for Kal'tsit, but the tentacles of the Mizuki were really ruthless. They added several times the amount that was supposed to be given. Even a rock couldn't withstand that.
But Kal'tsit didn't know that. She was certain it wasn't Mizuki who did it, and M3 didn't give any warning. Could it be that she added coffee powder earlier, causing the calming tea to malfunction?!
After much thought, Kal'tsit could only come up with this seemingly reasonable explanation, but her hand had already unconsciously rested on Mizuki's stomach. To be honest, the feel of it was somewhat irresistible.
"Tsk..."
Kal'tsit intended to find a place to relieve herself, but for some reason she stepped on a syringe that had fallen to the ground and ended up falling on top of Mizuki.
Now even their last bit of restraint was broken. The tentacles of Mizuki took out the communicator given to them by the Doctor and started recording. Some even began to draw the scene by hand. It has to be said that the drawings were quite realistic. They truly deserve to be called masters!
It was a terrible ordeal for Mizuki; he had another nightmare in which he was being moved around by people.
Chapter 117 Kal'tsit and Mizuki's Battle Footage
For Mizuki, the world is very simple, and so are people.
He has his own way of distinguishing between good and bad things, good and bad people, good moods and bad moods, but sometimes he feels very tired because good and bad people can sometimes be the same person.
Moreover, during his travels, he not only had to think about how to become a better human being, but also had to constantly remember that he was also human. The consciousness from the Seaborn the Brood constantly influencing him, and even if he never responded, it was hard to say whether he could still maintain his humanity after a hundred or a thousand years.
What are you thinking about?
A pair of hands gently removed Mizuki's hat, then rubbed his head. The voice sounded androgynous, with a slight hoarseness and ease, and an imperceptible tenderness.
"Doctor, would you say I'm still human?"
Regarding this question, most Rhodes Island operators who know Mizuki would answer without reservation, because they don't know the truth about Mizuki. However, the Doctor knows very well that Mizuki has no secrets from him and will answer anything the Doctor asks.
If the Doctor were to ask about his past, he could recount how he first learned to swim and how he met Ch'en in Dossoles and was then recommended to come to Rhodes Island. Mizuki felt that it was the best decision she had ever made in her life.
"So you also struggle with this issue?"
The Doctor naturally knew Mizuki's identity; his body was Seaborn, which stemmed from a thirst for life. Mizuki never wanted to appear as harmless as he seemed; in reality, he was more dangerous than a certain giant cockroach that caused explosions every day.
"I only think about it occasionally."
"That's true, that's quite normal."
Mizuki has always been lonely, despite always maintaining a smile. His loneliness stems from his race; he is the only one who, after being transformed into Seaborn, can still clearly maintain his identity and affirm his human status.
