Make Do with It-It's Not Like You Can Get Divorced!

"Dr. Kal'tsit, what I have... shouldn't be Oripathy, right?"

Because she always deals with all sorts of dangerous goods, Exusiai made that connection. Yesterday, she thought it was just a cold and didn't take it seriously at all. But looking at Kal'tsit's expression, she felt that it wasn't that simple.

It wasn't that she was worried Mizuki would abandon her after she got Oripathy; she was just worried that the disease would affect her family's life in the future, and that it might even be hereditary if they had children.

"Don't worry, you're perfectly healthy, in fact, you're almost inhumanly healthy. The concentration of Originium in your blood is almost as low as Skadi's."

Kal'tsit wasn't surprised by this result; it was obvious that it was because Exusiai was usually with Mizuki had an almost overwhelming advantage over Originium.

And then there's Mizuki's... well, okay, Jellyfish-chan. That thing really baffled Kal'tsit. Not only does it counter Originium, but it's also full of life force and retains normal reproductive functions.

As for how she knew the last point, that's a question for the Doctor, who's still recovering from dehydration, and she's reluctant to answer.

"So what am I doing...?"

You're pregnant.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and both Mizuki and Exusiai fell silent. In that instant, almost every nice-sounding name he could think of in his life flashed through Mizuki's mind.

"I thought she had some serious illness, but it turns out she's just pregnant. I was so worried I thought I was... pregnant?!"

A soprano's voice that almost pierced eardrums nearly caused the soundproof walls of the Medical Department to collapse; both Mizuki and Kal'tsit immediately covered their ears.

Now, forget about being sleepy, Exusiai even wondered if she was still dreaming. No, even if she were dreaming, she couldn't possibly dream of something so outrageous!

"Mizuki, pinch me! I must be dreaming!"

Why don't you do it yourself?

"I'm afraid of pain."

Seeing Exusiai's flustered state, Mizuki suppressed the turmoil in her heart, reached out and pinched her arm, a little bit hard.

"Wow! Am I really not dreaming?"

Exusiai heavens, she and Mizuki hadn't even registered their marriage yet.

"It's not a dream, you are indeed pregnant, but the situation is very strange... All the symptoms and test reports indicate that you are pregnant, but there is no sign of life in your womb."

So, am I pregnant or not?

"She's pregnant." Kal'tsit shook her head. "I'm pretty sure of that. It's probably related to Mizuki."

"Um... I think I know what's going on." As if he had thought of a certain possibility, Mizuki's expression became a little tense. As the Sea of Life itself, he had just sensed some changes.

"My child with Xiao Le is probably in the Sea of Life, which is hard to explain... Anyway, it's a place, well, a place that can nurture life."

When he heard Kal'tsit say that Exusiai's belly, Mizuki subconsciously thought of the Sea Siren from yesterday. Then he noticed that there was a thin line on Exusiai's body that connected to the top of her head, passed through the wall and reached the sky, which happened to be related to the life sign that had just appeared today.

So, Mizuki, you're actually pregnant?

"That's a really strange idea. Let me ask her."

Mizuki skillfully picked up the cup, filled it with water, poured it into her palm, and then molded it into the shape of Miss Sea Siren according to her own ideas.

The next moment, something entered the water, and Miss Sea Siren awoke instantly. Water transformed into her body, and she pounced on Mizuki almost immediately, hugging Mizuki's face like a facehugger.

"Dad! Please don't abandon me!"

Upon hearing this, Exusiai and Kal'tsit's eyes instantly sharpened, because this ability to transform into water was very similar to Muelsyse's.

"You and Muelsyse already have a child?!"

"No! This isn't my biological child!" Mizuki quickly pulled the Sea Siren off her face before Exusiai fire. "She's Seaborn! I told you before!"

Seaborn are a species that Kal'tsit Exusiai has also heard of, but their impression of Seaborn is still that they are "ugly and quite threatening." Looking at the one in Mizuki's hand, it feels like it could be slapped to death.

Are you sure this is Seaborn?

"No! I'm Sea Siren! An evolved form, you can also call me Siren No. 1." Miss Sea Siren solemnly explained her identity, then turned back to continue hugging Mizuki. "Daddy! I admit I was a bit naughty yesterday, don't abandon us! More than three million sisters can't be born into single-parent families and become orphans!"

Suppressing the urge to turn Miss Sea Siren from water into steam, Mizuki rubbed her temples.

"Because it formed a connection with my Sea of Life, Seaborn evolved into this form, something like this... I think she should know why my child with Xiao Le is in the Sea of Life."

"I know that!"

As if she had anticipated that Mizuki and the others would have questions, Miss Sea Siren raised her hand and began to explain.

"The Sea of Life is another dimension. As the name suggests, it is an ocean that can nurture life and stores the life information of us Sea Siren. As for why your two children are in the Sea of Life, isn't that just natural?"

Miss Sea Siren held out her hands, her tail gently patting Mizuki's palm.

"Although Izumik appears to be human, his essence is the Source of Life. The child must naturally be conceived from the Sea of Life; otherwise, it would be impossible for humans alone to provide the nutrients the child needs."

It's a reasonable explanation, although it still sounds a bit far-fetched. Exusiai and Kal'tsit don't think it's fake. There are many incredible things about Mizuki. Everyone else is still working on science, but he's already at the level of metaphysics, no, it's probably at the level of theology.

"Father, look how clearly I've explained it to you, you..."

With another splat, Miss Sea Siren was once again slapped into a puddle by Mizuki. Although she was grateful that the guy had explained things to her, Mizuki still didn't want to become a father so soon.

"Didn't I just hear her say there are over three million sisters?" Exusiai frowned involuntarily. "Does that mean I'm going to be the stepmother of over three million people???"

It's perfectly normal that Exusiai and the Doctor get along so well, to the point that Mizuki began to wonder if she had a special fondness for girls with such unique thought processes.

"Xiao Le, don't overthink it, they're just..."

"Even if I only accept ten yuan as a bride price, I can still make over thirty million!"

Well, as expected of Exusiai, Kal'tsit couldn't help but nudge Mizuki's arm.

"Is she really not related to the Doctor at all?"

"I don't know either."

Overall, however, today's news was truly shocking, Exusiai was probably accidentally made a little excited by it.

"Now that I think about it, since the child is connected to me, but isn't in my belly... I should still be able to eat as usual, right?"

If pregnancy necessitates dieting, that would be too cruel; Exusiai never want that.

"It shouldn't be necessary. This is the first time I've encountered a situation like Mizuki's, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Kal'tsit rubbed her temples, thinking it wasn't a big problem. However, Exusiai had finally calmed down and her mind cleared up. She looked at Mizuki with some confusion.

"That girl called Sea Siren #1, was she talking about our two children...? So they're twins?"

"I think so..."

Mizuki could only sense two more reactions from the Sea of Life. Exusiai n't help but frown. Two children—this was going to be troublesome. If one was too noisy, wouldn't two cause a complete uproar?

"No, I need to go to my sister and learn how to discipline unruly kids."

"Okay, I'll come see you after I finish my physical exam."

"I'll be going now!"

Exusiai left, half happy and half sad, leaving only Mizuki and Kal'tsit in the examination room. Her bouncy manner didn't seem like that of a girl who knew she was pregnant.

But this is for the best. Mizuki was worried that Exusiai become a different person after getting pregnant, but with so many obvious signs before, she didn't expect this. It really is true that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years.

"Actually... they're not twins."

Kal'tsit suddenly said something that left Mizuki completely bewildered. She forced herself to look at Mizuki and meet his gaze.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, how do you know they're not twins?"

"Because one of them is mine."

This statement successfully caused the atmosphere in the examination room to freeze again, and Mizuki was slightly taken aback.

"But that's my child, how could it be you, Dr. Kal'tsit..."

Mizuki couldn't continue speaking because he had already seen the line that belonged to Kal'tsit and connected to the Sea of Life. Mizuki hadn't noticed it before because he hadn't thought about it in that way and the line was too thin.

He opened his mouth wide, momentarily speechless; this was probably the most out-of-control moment of his life.

We didn't know each other before, did we?

"... She just got pregnant yesterday." Kal'tsit tried hard to keep her tone from fluctuating too much. "It's the mess the Doctor made."

Chapter 125 Let's just make do, what else can we do?

That's how it happened... Anyway, never mind, it's not your fault.

After recounting the whole story, Kal'tsit looked at Mizuki, who was clutching her head and looking utterly bewildered, and realized that both of them were currently thinking the same thing.

What on earth happened? How did things get like this?

Mizuki was speechless. He even wondered if he was dreaming. How could something so absurd happen? Even novels and movies wouldn't dare to write something like this!

And most importantly, he, as the person involved, had absolutely no recollection of it!

"Dr. Kal'tsit, the Doctor should still be alive, right?"

After a silence of three or four minutes, Mizuki raised her head and uttered her first words, her eyes filled with a mixture of helplessness, grievance, and confusion.

To be honest, if the target were someone else, such as Lappland, Alina, or even FrostNova and Mudrock, he wouldn't have reacted so strongly. But it was Kal'tsit, someone he had little to do with, which gave Mizuki a real headache.

"It can only be said that... the Doctor's brain has probably been in the Sarcophagus for too many years, and it's become a bit abnormal."

Can it be cured?

"Cremate him/her to prevent the spread of the virus."

Kal'tsit glanced at the tea on the table; she'd rather drink pesticide than tea now. Mizuki, on the other hand, glanced at the shadows under the table. Ever since Kal'tsit spoke, Mizuki's tentacles hadn't dared to peek out, afraid of being scolded.

Mizuki was in a bad mood, especially after just finding out he had two children. If he hadn't been in a good mood earlier, he probably wouldn't be sitting across from Kal'tsit looking so depressed; he would have just led his the Brood of Seaborn and swept through the enemy lines.

The key person who did this was Doctor, the one Mizuki would least be willing to hurt, the kind of person she wouldn't even dare to scold.

"Um... Dr. Kal'tsit, how about this...?"

"Forget about it, it's highly unlikely we can destroy it, and now isn't the time."

Kal'tsit replaced the tea with unopened juice, and also gave Mizuki a bottle, which she shook her head at.

"What I mean is, if you don't mind the trouble, I can raise this child. It won't disrupt your life in the future."

Mizuki would never say such a thing; he just felt a headache coming on. The Doctor had really given him a lot of trouble this time.

"My life..."

This was somewhat unexpected by Kal'tsit. Originally, she planned to abort the child and pretend nothing had happened. Mizuki wouldn't know, and he wouldn't say anything either. They could live their lives peacefully, and she would hang the Doctor up and beat him a few more times later.

However, it seems unlikely that she can abort the child now, because Kal'tsit and Exusiai are only connected to the child, not actually conceived. The medicine will not work, and Kal'tsit is unlikely to commit suicide to try to sever the connection. If she commits suicide and is resurrected but still cannot sever the connection, she will have suffered a huge loss.

To be honest, Kal'tsit was almost out of control at that time, but the tentacles that Mizuki kept by the Doctor's side always protected her at just the right moment, stopping Kal'tsit from doing anything irrational.

"Forget it, since that's how it is... I guess I'll just have to try and get along with you."

Kal'tsit rarely had such a headache; she had almost forgotten when she last felt this helpless and displeased. It just goes to show how well the Doctor really knew how to give people high blood pressure.

"Get along?"

"Don't tell me that besides me, only Exusiai has had a relationship with you. Treat me the same way you treat them."

This was the most helpless choice. Kal'tsit rubbed her temples. In more than ten thousand years, this was the first time she had planned to fall in love. But it couldn't really be called falling in love; it was more like getting on the bus first and then taking the driving test.

Besides, if we don't do this, we can't just keep the fact that I'm pregnant in the future a secret forever, can we?

"Oh well."

Since Kal'tsit suffered the biggest losses, Mizuki had no choice but to agree to the proposal. However, continuing the conversation would have made things awkward for both sides, so Kal'tsit changed the subject at the right time.

"Regarding your medical examination report, the results are almost complete. Just as that Sea Siren said, your form of existence is unknown. Apart from your heart and reproductive cells, the rest of you are all composed of the same type of cells, including your bones..."

"Furthermore, your cells contain highly toxic substances, but it seems to require some kind of triggering condition. Although your brain has the same structure as a normal person, I think your consciousness is similar to that of the Sea Siren. This body is more like an extension of yourself, although it is a very important part."

After finally getting the conversation back to business, Kal'tsit quickly reverted to her previous cold yet extremely serious demeanor, and she pointed out in detail Mizuki's condition.

Indeed, Mizuki currently appears to be an ordinary human being, but hidden beneath this facade is a being named Mizuki, also known as Izumik.

After the examination, Kal'tsit finally understood why the Doctor insisted on taking Mizuki to Rhodes Island. To be honest, Kal'tsit couldn't help but feel fortunate that Mizuki hadn't caused any major catastrophic accidents after drifting on Terra for so long. In his condition, even a little blood from him could lead to the destruction of a town.

"Also, Mizuki, you can always hear the voices from the Seaborn the Brood, right?"

"Hmm, now is also an option... Well, Sea Siren #1 said she wants to try and find the Magic Conch."

Mizuki tapped her head. Since establishing a connection with the Sea of Life, the voices of the Sea Siren had become clearer. However, most of them were still evolving, with only a small portion of their consciousness having successfully transformed and soon able to completely break free from the constraints of the material world.

"I see."

Kal'tsit frowned slightly. She had to admit that Mizuki was indeed an extraordinary being. Being able to hear the voices the Brood the Seaborn meant that she was constantly being mentally manipulated by billions of Seaborn. Yet, Mizuki still maintained a clear sense of self, which could not be described simply as unwavering willpower.

To be honest, he's like a chair that stands firm even in a storm, wielding the Yamato... oh, sorry, I'm getting sidetracked.
