Kal'tsit's Advice Afterward

"So it seems your success in mastering the Heart of Deep Blue wasn't just a simple accident or good luck. Cicero wasn't wrong about you."

"Dr. Kal'tsit, do you also know Grandpa Cicero?"

"Just call me Kal'tsit. We're acquainted; we've had some business dealings. The Doctor also knew him."

Feeling a bit weary, Kal'tsit rubbed her temples, realizing she could no longer treat Mizuki with the same attitude as before.

There's nothing we can do about it. Before, Mizuki was just a necessary subject of surveillance and research for Kal'tsit. But now? Mizuki has really become her partner, and she's completely clueless about it. She can't just stay cold and aloof, can she? Besides, she doesn't really have any other expressions she can use.

"I've heard about your situation, amnesia... Your situation might not be just simple amnesia, but rather your subconscious is still trying to dig out those deeply buried fragments."

"According to what the Doctor said before, you once gave a black teru teru bozu doll to Muelsyse for safekeeping, and in doing so, you regained some of your memories, right?"

"Um."

Mizuki glanced at her umbrella; a black teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll shaped like a teru teru bozu) hung quietly on it, while the extra one had already been taken back by Muelsyse.

"That means that from the moment you set foot on the Snowfield, you were prepared to lose all your memories."

This was a guess Mizuki had never considered, but it made perfect sense. He pondered it and realized it was indeed true. If he hadn't foreseen the possibility of amnesia, he wouldn't have chosen to leave a contingency plan in this way. Why hadn't he thought of this before?

"Rather than asking why you lost your memory, I think you should be more concerned about this question: why did you choose to go to the northern ice plains to find the Doctor, having never met Doctor before and never been to Rhodes Island?"

"I don't know either."

Mizuki shook his head. In his recovered memories, he rarely mentioned the Doctor and Rhodes Island, but Alina and the others had all said that these were the reasons Mizuki went to the Snowfield.

"Then it seems the most urgent issue now is figuring out exactly what happened to you."

"Perhaps we should find some time to visit Cicero."

The image of a kind and gentle old man flashed through Cicero 'Mizuki mind, further solidifying his resolve to embark on his journey.

Perhaps only by walking the same path we once walked can we truly understand what happened.

"By the way, Mizuki, are the current Seaborn the Brood following your orders?"

"Seaborn's words will be reviewed according to my orders to see if they are in the collective interest; the Sea Siren seems to obey unconditionally."

"Then can you get them to lift the blockade on Aegir?"

"No." Mizuki shook her head. "Aegir has severely triggered Seaborn's survival instincts. Unless Aegir makes a clear statement, Seaborn will not be able to withdraw."

"Make a clear statement..."

Kal'tsit thought of Aegir and suddenly felt that even when Aegir was destroyed, those arrogant guys wouldn't choose to surrender.

Indeed, the Aegir civilization, living in the sea, possessed science and technology far superior to those of the continental nations of Terra. Over many years of development, the Aegir civilization never ceased to exist, nor did it suffer Catastrophe. Having inherited many ancient Old Civilization legacies, the Aegir were qualified and capable of looking down on all creatures on the ground.

The problem now is that Aegir can't beat Seaborn, yet he's stubborn and refuses to admit his mistakes. It's really baffling where they get so much confidence.

However, Kal'tsit is most relieved that Mizuki is now on Rhodes Island's side, and the most tense issue of the Seaborn has been almost half resolved. As for Aegir, it depends on how Gladiia plans to negotiate with Mizuki.

"Let's not talk about that now. Remember to use protection next time you do it. Your reproductive cells are too resilient, making it easy for you to get pregnant. So far, only Exusiai, which is already considered a relatively mild situation."

"Xiao Le bought several boxes before... but it wasn't enough."

For some reason, Kal'tsit felt a little sorry for him. Looking at his helpless and somewhat aggrieved expression, she really didn't know what kind of life he was living. He probably hadn't slept much at night, which was why he slept so soundly yesterday morning.

"Then let's not talk about this anymore. You... um, I..."

Kal'tsit was a little unsure how to begin, but Mizuki seemed to understand her meaning, skillfully taking off her raincoat and hat, and then glancing around.

"Do you need me down here?"

Needless to say, Mizuki understands Kal'tsit's gaze best. All the girls in the house have this expression after they've tasted the sweetness of jellyfish—wanting it but not daring to ask. After all, Jellyfish-chan is addictive, and it's already quite remarkable that Kal'tsit has been able to restrain herself this long. If it were someone like Sora, that would be troublesome.

"..."

Seeing how skillfully and even self-aware Mizuki was doing this, Kal'tsit felt even more Mizuki. Was she really that lucky to be used to this kind of thing, or was Exusiai truly pitiful?

Achoo!

Just as Kal'tsit was attempting to solo Mizuki, Exusiai had already arrived at the dormitory. Lemuen, unsurprisingly, was undergoing rehabilitation. After two "special treatments," her condition had significantly improved, and she could now stand up without any pain.

The girls from Penguin Logistics, Mostima, and Fiammetta were all here, seemingly discussing their future lives. It seemed they would all be permanently stationed on Rhodes Island, and given the various acquaintances from Mizuki who had recently appeared, it was necessary for them to unite.

"Sis, how's the recovery going?"

"Not bad, it's just that Mizuki said it's a pity my body's conversion rate of life force absorption is too low, otherwise I should have fully recovered after just these two times."

Lemuen shifted her legs, Exusiai noticed that her older sister had changed into black stockings. When did she buy them? Why do they look so familiar? (Hint: Mizuki was barefoot yesterday afternoon.)

"Oh, that's good. Mizuki said that after three or four more treatments, I should be almost fully recovered, and even better than before."

"Thirty times? That probably won't be enough, will it?"

At this point in Lungmen, everyone was used to speaking the Great Yanese. Exusiai only felt that her older sister's pronunciation seemed a bit off, but that wasn't the key point.

"Then I'll have Mizuki check and add a few more sessions for you. By the way, sister, could you help me take care of my kids in the future?"

"Sure, as long as you don't mind me living with you."

"Oh, of course I'm not going to look down on you. You're my sister, not here to tear my house down." Exusiai patted her chest. "The main thing is I'm worried that my daughter might not follow Mizuki in the future, but rather take after me."

Lemuen imagined the scene, then subconsciously reached for her hand. Okay, no rolling pin. Oh right, she wasn't in a position to beat up Mizuki right now; she Exusiai leave it to Mizuki.

"It's okay, I should be able to handle it."

"That's great." Exusiai, who didn't Exusiai of the child herself, had accomplished a major task. Then she looked at Sora, who was still looking at her performance schedule. "Sora, have you been feeling unwell lately? Like feeling nauseous in the morning, dizzy, or unable to eat?"

"No, I feel fine, as long as I don't run into Mizuki."

Because he had gone too far several times before, Kong's addiction to Mizuki was the most severe. Even the slightest contact with it would cause him to fall into a semi-out-of-control state.

"So they really are twins..."

"What twins?"

Fiammetta instinctively realized something was wrong, Exusiai completely indifferent, shrugging her shoulders.

"It's nothing, I'm just pregnant, and it looks like it's twins."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire dormitory turned cold. Texas dropped the chocolate bar she was eating, and even Mostima lost her grip on her cup, spilling water all over the floor.

"Oh, that doesn't quite sound right." Exusiai suddenly remembered that the two children were conceived in the Sea of Life, that place called Mizuki. "Should we say Mizuki is pregnant?"

"Puff!"

Even Lemuen couldn't help but spit out the tea in her mouth.

Chapter 126 Kal'tsit's Advice Afterwards

"In short, try to control your tentacles and don't let them do everything the Doctor says."

Kal'tsit wiped away the marks on her body, then took a look in the mirror. The bite marks should be able to be covered up, since most of them were about ten centimeters below her neck.

"Good."

"Also, regarding your plan to go to Iberia, I have some acquaintances there. I can help you get in touch with them later. They should be happy to help you with this, after all, Iberia has been severely weakened by the Seaborn over the years, and they also want a ceasefire."

Then it was her legs, where she did the most. Kal'tsit even regretted it a little. If she had known that the amount of Mizuki was so large, she wouldn't have chosen to stand against the wall. It was impossible to hide it, and it was also difficult to wipe it off.

"Thanks."

"Finally, I've already sent people to investigate your past. Perhaps we can gain some unexpected insights from your past actions."

Kal'tsit picked up the clothes and inspected them carefully. Luckily, she had taken them off at the beginning, so they weren't damaged; otherwise, changing into a new set would have been troublesome.

Thinking of this, Kal'tsit couldn't help but glance at Mizuki, who was sitting obediently on the hospital bed. It can only be said that Mizuki's face was truly deceptive. He didn't know anything about being gentle and considerate towards Kal'tsit just now. Well, it seems that this was also because Kal'tsit was somewhat out of control at the time.

(This is really troublesome. It's all the Doctor's fault. Mizuki's toxicity is far too terrifying.)

Even if she could rationally suppress that desire, her body still betrayed her. Even now, Kal'tsit could feel the subtle attraction emanating from Mizuki. To Mizuki at this moment, Kal'tsit was like a subordinate familiar, someone in a dominant relationship.

Fortunately, Mizuki wasn't particularly keen on doing such things. He wouldn't say anything unless Kal'tsit brought it up herself. Kal'tsit estimated that, under normal circumstances, if she didn't encounter Mizuki, she could probably endure it for about a month, given her stamina.

"Um."

Mizuki scratched his head, somewhat bewildered. He still couldn't understand the speed of development, but he felt that if things continued like this, the book might be lost forever.

"After Lungmen, Rhodes Island needs to head to Kazimierz to prepare for the next operation... Well, we'll be making preparations for a while, and you can bring the Doctor along during that time."

I will protect her.

"I know, although I don't know the reason for that inexplicable connection between you and the Doctor, but there's no doubt about it."

Miss Doctor definitely hadn't met Mizuki before. Kal'tsit was certain of that because Mizuki was at most twenty years old, and even looked younger. In the past twenty years, Doctor had been accompanied by Kal'tsit almost every time she went out. If she had really had contact with Mizuki, how could she not know?

"Besides that, Rhodes Island has several patients with serious physical defects like Lemuen. Can you help them?"

After wiping the traces from the corner of her mouth to make sure no one would notice anything amiss, Kal'tsit dressed and regained her usual imposing manner, completely different from before.

"I can give it a try."

For Mizuki, apart from being a little time-consuming, it wasn't too difficult. However, remembering Lemuen's experience, he felt it was necessary to take some preparatory measures.

"But could you find someone to help me hold it down while I'm at it?"

Will it hurt a lot?

"Guess how many boxes Lemuen used?"

Kal'tsit immediately understood. It seemed that Mizuki's treatment method had some... relatively troublesome side effects. It was indeed not suitable for solo treatment. Someone would have to be there to watch over it. Hmm, Skadi would be a good choice. She would never allow such a thing to happen in front of her.

However, having just done that kind of thing, it's a bit abrupt to suddenly shift the tone to this; Kal'tsit isn't quite as... desireful anymore.

"It's best not to tell anyone about what happens between us."

"But I won't hide anything from Xiao Le."

"Okay, she's an exception, that's your prerogative."

Kal'tsit herself didn't want others to know about this shameful matter; she had a lot to lose face. But Exusiai certainly had the right to know about it. Kal'tsit hadn't said anything before because she was worried that Exusiai would be too upset.

"Then come again tomorrow and see the two who need treatment the most."

"Good."

Mizuki dressed herself, put on the blue soft hat, and tried to organize her thoughts to tell Exusiai about it.

He figured he was going to get bitten by his girlfriend again. That's how Exusiai jealous, even though she's already gotten used to being teased by Texas and the others. Otherwise, Mizuki was sure that girl would pull out eight guns and fire a whole magazine at him.

Mizuki's tentacles crawled out quite readily, taking out various rags, buckets, and mops to start cleaning up the aftermath of the battle. While Mizuki's mood wasn't so bad now, they needed to quickly make a good impression to avoid getting a scolding when he remembered the incident.

Although she couldn't see Mizuki's tentacles, Kal'tsit could guess that it was Mizuki's tentacles cleaning up by the rags and mops that appeared out of nowhere to help with the cleaning. They were quite skilled at it, and even took off the sheets and blankets from the hospital bed to wash them.

"It's... quite convenient, and it even does housework."

"They can do everything. Besides housework, they can cook, and they've even taught themselves advanced mathematics. I reckon they could even perform surgery. These days they've been sneaking around the Medical Department learning things. Oh, and they've also taught themselves computers, saying that several bugs in Rhodes Island's system have just been fixed."

"..."

Kal'tsit suddenly felt that the best decision the Doctor had ever made in her life was bringing Mizuki to Rhodes Island. Such a talented person would be sought after anywhere.

Putting aside Mizuki herself, this group of highly educated tentacles alone are worth Rhodes Island taking in.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Mizuki was about to leave, Kal'tsit called out to him, her expression somewhat conflicted and strange, as if she had seen the Doctor climbing a wall upside down in front of her.

"... Next time you want it, I'll tell you I'll do a separate check-up for you."

Mizuki's eyes revealed a familiar helplessness. He nodded, then pushed open the door and went out. He planned to go find Miss Doctor, hoping that Doctor was still alive.

Moreover, just for this incident alone, even if we don't want to bite the Doctor twice, we should at least give her a good talking-to. Mizuki really didn't expect the Doctor to do such a thing. She really doesn't mind having more people around Mizuki.

The tentacles swayed around the edge of the Mizuki, constantly echoing that it had nothing to do with them, that it was all the Doctor's doing, and that the Doctor was extremely wicked.

"Don't shirk responsibility, you were also at fault."

The tentacles, feeling wronged, drooped down. But there was nothing they could do; they were all extensions of Mizuki, part of him just like hair, only they had their own thoughts. In any case, Mizuki had always regarded these tentacles as other individuals.

"Don't do this kind of thing for the Doctor again. By the way, you're all so smart, why did you do it?"

The tentacles couldn't speak, but Mizuki could tell what they were thinking. So when he learned that the tentacles were just carrying out his original "reproduction" command, he couldn't help but cover his face.

Feelings were still her own problem. Mizuki suddenly felt very tired and decided not to tell Kal'tsit about it, lest she bang her head against the wall.

It seems that while these tentacles are highly intelligent, their language comprehension skills are quite poor.

"Why don't you guys go and study Chinese, and do more reading comprehension exercises?"

The tentacles swayed again, indicating that they did indeed have this intention and planned to study law so that they could help Mizuki in the future.

Since the whole thing started with his own confused order, Mizuki didn't say anything more. He simply went to the door of the Doctor's dormitory and used his tentacles to open the door from the inside.
