Kal'tsit: Pick Your Own Grave / Exusiai Isn't Feeling Well

The water didn't spill out; instead, it sculpted into the shape of a mermaid in Mizuki's hand, albeit a transparent one.

That's how it is.

"This is..."

Before the Doctor could speak, the water-squeezed Miss Seaborn blinked, then suddenly straightened her tail in fright.

"Oh my god! This person is huge! How did I get here?"

"Holy crap! It can talk! Mizuki, your figurine is talking!"

Upon hearing the Doctor mention Mizuki's name, the miniature version of Seaborn turned to look at Mizuki and immediately jumped up excitedly.

"Dad! I'm your unborn daughter!"

Chapter 122 Kal'tsit: You Choose Your Own Gravesite

For Mizuki, he had indeed thought about what it would be like if he had a child in the future more than once. Even though Exusiai always said it was too early, Mizuki knew very well that his girlfriend was actually looking forward to it but also a little scared, which was why she seemed conflicted.

However, when he heard the little guy call him "Dad," he couldn't hold back, and even the tentacles beside him were stunned.

What do you call me?

"Father, I am your own daughter who wished to care for you but could no longer do so!"

Miss Seaborn, who was only the size of a palm, has now fully materialized and is no longer just a simple, transparent creature. She looks like a newly hatched little mermaid, cute and beautiful.

Of course, Mizuki would be even happier if this tiny mermaid didn't make such a shocking statement while holding Mizuki's thumb.

"Mizuki, when did you get a daughter? How come I didn't know?"

Reaching out, she gently grabbed Miss Seaborn's tail and lifted Doctor up, thinking that this wasn't even enough for her to eat a few bites.

"I don't know either. Wait, this child is Seaborn Si!"

Mizuki was startled by the girl's shout and only then did she realize what was going on.

"Seaborn?"

"What, you're not convinced?"

Using her powerful core strength to support her body, Miss Seaborn and the Doctor stared at each other, making no attempt to conceal their identities.

"This little guy is Seaborn... a new breed."

The Doctor lady reached out and poked at it, then quickly withdrew her hand to avoid being bitten. She couldn't help but click her tongue, then looked at Mizuki with a sorrowful expression.

"Now we can't just push through Terra."

"Oh! A complete push through Terra? That's easy! Once all of us sisters hatch, we'll have a crushing victory!"

Miss Seaborn patted her chest, then finally understood what was going on, broke free from the Doctor's hand, and jumped onto Mizuki's shoulder.

"Dad, you're so stingy! Couldn't you have made more water? I'm such a tiny little thing."

"... What is your relationship with Miu Miu?"

The ability to transform water into a body and change its size immediately brought to Muelsyse's mind the image of Mizuki. Wait, could this be his and Muelsyse's child?

No, that's impossible. Putting aside the obvious life force of the Seaborn on her body, she's not an elf Muelsyse; she's more like someone who simply stuffed their consciousness into the water and shaped it into their body.

Mizuki already thought Muelsyse was unscientific enough, but how come there's something even more unscientific?

"You mean that spirit? Part of our evolutionary path involved adopting her information; that unique life form allows us to better integrate into your ocean."

"Her information?"

"Yes, it was during the time you and she reproduced that you collected all of her pheromones."

Miss Seaborn perched on Mizuki's shoulder, her tail slapping casually. Being next to Mizuki was much more comfortable; although there was no water, it felt like returning to the sea.

"Based on the information you sent, Father, we have decided on our evolutionary direction. Currently, our consciousness is within the Sea of Izumik, and this body is still just pure water. If you don't believe me, you can take a sip."

"Never mind, I can't bring myself to eat it raw."

Mizuki quickly shook her head. The Doctor's lips twitched involuntarily. What does that mean? You're so mature in relationships that you don't have any psychological burden anymore, right?

"Actually, there's not much difference between raw and cooked, it's just the difference between cooled boiled water and boiled water." Miss Seaborn waved her hand. "I just said I sensed movement over here so I came to check. In fact, the light rain you just sent over 30,000 of our sisters directly to the Lungmen, but now almost everyone has evaporated back, except for a few unlucky ones who fell into the sewers."

Miss Doctor was at a loss for words; it felt like the style of this group of Seaborn had been distorted by Mizuki and gone astray.

"So, does that mean your mother is Exusiai or Muelsyse?"

This is the question that Doctor is most curious about right now. In terms of kinship, since these Seaborn evolved based on the life form of Muelsyse, then Muelsyse is their biological mother. However, Exusiai is also Mizuki's current girlfriend.

"Ah, we don't have a mother," Seaborn said frankly. "Strictly speaking, we are not purely material beings now. Our consciousness wanders in the Sea of Life. Even if we die, we can still mold ourselves from water."

As she spoke, Miss Seaborn proudly put her hands on her hips.

"We've studied human culture in depth and discovered that humans often use verbal attacks to insult someone's mother. So, as long as we don't have a mother, we're not afraid of being targeted!"

This was truly embarrassing! Mizuki couldn't help but cover his face. He wondered how Seaborn had evolved into this state in just one month. It seemed like he was heading towards becoming some kind of comedic character with no future.

"Undying, with a body of water... Holy crap, have you guys evolved into Sea Siren?"

The Doctor lady suddenly remembered a novel she had read in her past life, in which the Sea Siren race seemed to be just like this. However, the Seaborn in front of her was evolved based on Muelsyse and was quite different.

"Sea Siren? That sounds better! It's much better than 'Seaborn'!"

Miss Seaborn happily flicked her tail, then gave Mizuki a couple of slaps on the face. It didn't hurt much, but it was incredibly humiliating.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is the Sea of Life?"

"Ah, you can't see him, it's my dad..."

Call me Mizuki!

"Oh, it's Mizuki. He himself is the Sea of Life, but the Sea of Life is his initial form. He probably created this body to make it easier for him to move around."

That's not hard to understand. Doctor has already gotten used to Mizuki's strange and quirky personality traits, and she and Seaborn in front of her seem to have similar thought processes.

"So, if Mizuki conceived you, then wouldn't he be...?"

Even if Miss Doctor didn't continue, Miss Seaborn understood what she meant. She stared intently at Mizuki's face for a long time, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

To be fair, while I wouldn't dare say she's as androgynous as Ansel at first glance, Mizuki is indeed very cute, and with a little dressing up, she could easily pass for a girl.

Having figured this out, Miss Seaborn wagged her tail restlessly and jumped into Mizuki's palm, giving Mizuki a sweet, playful call.

"Mom, I'm hungry..."

With a smack, Mizuki slammed her hand shut, turning Miss Seaborn into a puddle of water. Luckily, it passed the censorship.

"Doctor..."

Mizuki wore a gentle smile, but her eyes were filled with danger, the kind that would send chills down your spine if you looked at her.

"I am here!"

"What do you think Dr. Kal'tsit would do if I told her what you just said?"

What I just said was, of course, referring to the Doctor's comment about Kal'tsit acting young. Based on their credibility with Kal'tsit and her understanding of the Doctor, it goes without saying that Doctor will likely commit suicide the next day after being stabbed in the back.

"No, Mizuki! Big brother! Husband! Father, I was wrong! Don't tell Kal'tsit those things! She'll kill me!"

Lacking any semblance of dignity, Doctor clung tightly to Mizuki 'Mizuki leg, practically begging for forgiveness. She genuinely believed that Kal'tsit could hang herself on the bridge of Rhodes Island and bungee jump—the kind with a 300-meter rope (incidentally, Rhodes Island is about 200 Michael).

"Really? So Doctor, you're that afraid of Dr. Kal'tsit?"

Mizuki's smile gradually shifted from slight anger to cunning; he seemed to have found a way to deal with the Doctor.

"I... I'm not that afraid of her. She's just an old woman, and in terms of status, she's still my servant. Of course I'm not afraid!"

"But then I remembered I need to see Dr. Kal'tsit."

"I am extremely sorry, and I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive my rudeness. Please forgive my impoliteness."

The Doctor quickly backed down, even kneeling on the sofa and kowtowing to Mizuki, because she was genuinely afraid of Kal'tsit.

"Alright, I won't talk about it today. But let's forget about what just happened. Doctor, do you mean I should go to the Great Yan region to find someone?"

"Yes, similar to Iberia, the Great Yan border has been frequently harassed by the Seaborn. If you can cooperate to stop the Seaborn from harassing the Great Yan border, they should be happy to help you with this."

Based on what Miss Doctor knows so far, Great Yan is probably the most livable country in all of Terra. Although it also has many problems and restrictions on people infected with Oripathy, it will never suppress people like Ursus, nor will it treat people inhumanely like Columbia and Victoria. Great Yan's human rights protections include those Infected.

"But we haven't attacked any land forces yet."

"Oh dear, we need someone to act as a go-between, so I'll take care of this!"

The Doctor patted her chest, indicating that she would take care of it; she was capable of handling it.

"However, you'd better go see Kal'tsit; you need to tell her that you went to the end of the ice plains."

This matter is of great importance. Kal'tsit hasn't lost her memory, and Mizuki can obtain considerable information from her. Perhaps she can even save a lot of trouble by relying on Kal'tsit's connections in the Great Yan.

"Then I'll be going now."

"Okay, wait a minute, where did my roast chicken go?"

Miss Doctor suddenly realized that she had only eaten one chicken leg since then. Mizuki was also stunned for a moment, and then, looking at the water stains left on the table, she immediately knew who had done it.

Regardless of how the Doctor broke down in her defenses, Mizuki decided to get up and go find Kal'tsit, leaving the Doctor alone, heartbroken.

Mizuki was quite lucky; he had only just stepped out of the Doctor's office when he happened to run into Kal'tsit, who was walking towards him with some documents in her hand.

"Dr. Kal'tsit!"

"Ah... Mizuki, is there something you need?"

For some reason, Kal'tsit's gaze would intentionally or unintentionally avoid Mizuki's eyes.

"Well, I have something I want to tell you. I had some strange dreams while I was sleeping today, but you seem busy, so I won't bother you."

"I..."

When Mizuki heard Shuiyue say that he had a strange dream while sleeping that day, Kal'tsit body seemed to stiffen for a moment. She subconsciously thought of what happened that morning, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

To be honest, she was only able to stand up and walk about half an hour ago, and she's still in a bit of pain.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Come to the Medical Department tomorrow; I need to give you another check-up."

"Okay, goodbye Dr. Kal'tsit."

Mizuki politely waved her hand and then prepared to go back to cook. Kal'tsit watched Mizuki walk away and disappear around the corner of the corridor, and subconsciously put her hand on her stomach, feeling a bad premonition.

With Rhodes Island's technology and Kal'tsit's unique abilities, we should have a result tonight. Let's just hope it's not a one-shot kill.

However, Kal'tsit still couldn't figure out why that had happened. She had tests done, and the calming tea contained a strong poison. Although it wasn't fatal, it contained a potent aphrodisiac, and it even seemed to have been specifically enhanced.

The problem is that the calming tea was brewed by Kal'tsit herself, Mizuki didn't even have a chance to touch it, so she was naturally ruled out as a suspect. Kal'tsit was completely baffled.

She checked the surveillance footage, but after watching it, it did almost nothing except make her feel a little feverish.

However, when Mizuki left, she only gently closed the door behind the Doctor, without shutting it tightly. Just as Kal'tsit was about to knock, she suddenly heard the Doctor's voice from inside.

"No matter how many times I watch it, it's hard to imagine that Kal'tsit has this side to her... tsk tsk, but Mizuki is completely asleep, which makes it a bit boring."

The Doctor was looking down, wearing headphones and watching the battle replay of Kal'tsit and Mizuki from this morning. This was probably the third time she had watched it, and she felt it wasn't as exciting as the first time. However, she was feeling very upset that someone had stolen her food earlier, so watching this was the only way to relieve her frustration.

"Wow, Kal'tsit is actually quite feminine. I never would have guessed."

"Oh, I didn't realize?"

Kal'tsit's voice, like a devil's whisper, sounded behind the Doctor. Looking at her own irrational self in the video, Kal'tsit remained calm and composed, looking at the Doctor as if she were looking at a dead person.

"Then why don't you take a look around some more?"

A ferocious beast emerged from Kal'tsit's spine, stretching out its sharp claws wantonly. Kal'tsit gently stroked its claws, then looked at the Doctor.

"Out of a doctor's professional ethics, you can choose your own grave."

"Kal'tsit, let me explain! It's not what you think! I... Mizuki, help me!!!"

Chapter 123 Exusiai's Physical Discomfort

"According to our investigation and recent reports, not only the Inquisition, but also the Church of the Deep is equally baffled as to why the Seaborn has evolved into its current form."

At the Iberia Grand Inquisitors' meeting, Dario reported that after beating Quintus half to death several times to confirm that he truly didn't know why the Seaborn had gone silent, Iberia was now in complete darkness.

However, they were certain that Seaborn neither vanished into thin air nor was he exterminated by Aegir.

Are you kidding me? If Aegir had the ability to exterminate the Seaborn, would he still be besieged and unable to utter a single word? He would have been infiltrated by the Church of the Deep long ago.
