Exusiai: I'm Used to It, Guys

"How exactly do you manage to play a game like Ursus Blocks for thirty hours straight?"

"Um... how about we hang out sometime?"

Mizuki's smile was enigmatic, yet undeniably endearing. In truth, it was his tentacles that were playing the Ursus Blocks. These tentacles enjoyed playing games when they were bored, and had even taught themselves computer programming and modeling techniques, preparing to create their own game. They were already figuring out how to apply for some funding from Mizuki.

"Alright! My gaming skills are top-notch!"

Ifrit was unaware that this was probably the last time she would say those words in her life, and she looked very proud. Mizuki didn't say anything, but just looked at the last person.

The blonde Sarkaz girl named Liz sat in her wheelchair, watching them quietly from beginning to end. Her indifferent face revealed nothing, but Mizuki could sense her joy; she really liked this atmosphere.

"Hello, I am Mizuki."

"Hello, my name is Liz, and I prefer this name."

"Then you can call me Izumik?"

Mizuki remembered that she had a second name that she didn't use often. The Doctor had previously thought that this was the name of Mizuki Seaborn, but now Mizuki had completed her own evolution and become the only Evolutionary Singularity the Brood the entire Seaborn group, and even in Terra. Therefore, the name Izumik had a higher meaning.

The singularity is generally considered a turning point in some kind of explosive development. The Doctor has no doubt that Mizuki is now standing at the Evolutionary Singularity, and may have even come a long way ahead, but she did not tell Kal'tsit or anyone else.

"Mizuki sounds better."

Liz wasn't a talkative girl, but the omnipresent friendliness about Mizuki made her instinctively want to talk to her more. Really, even though it was their first meeting, it felt like sitting at the dinner table with family, and she always wanted to chat.

"I like this name too."

Watching Mizuki chat so intimately with a girl she had just met, Kal'tsit's eyelids twitched. She suddenly understood why this guy was so likable wherever he went. Putting everything else aside, Mizuki could never starve with just that mouth and that face.

But I feel a little annoyed. How can Exusiai tolerate this kind of annoyance? Kal'tsit admits that she almost wanted to pinch Mizuki's waist just now.

After a brief chat, Mizuki took the diagnostic reports from the three people other than Amiya and began to examine their physical conditions.

Just as Kal'tsit said, no, even worse, all three of their bodies showed signs of being artificially modified. And the deeper hidden dangers could not be detected by Rhodes Island's instruments. Mizuki could clearly feel that the lives of these three had been greatly shortened, in other words, their lifespans had been reduced.

Rosemary's lesion was in her brain, which was the main cause of her forgetfulness. Ifrit's suffering was mostly due to her Oripathy, and she wouldn't have lived for more than three years if she hadn't been managed so strictly.

As for Liz, the more Mizuki examined her, the more she frowned. It wasn't that she couldn't find anything, but the deeper she went, the more she frowned.

On the other side of Iberia, all the Sea Siren ladies who were playing or fighting stopped what they were doing and all looked up at the sky.

"Izumik ... is angry."

After saying this, Miss Sea Siren was shot in the head by the judge who seized the opportunity, but she no longer cared about that. Her body instantly collapsed into water and returned to the Sea of Life. Together they sang, soothing the waves that the Sea of Life was about to surge.

The song soothed Mizuki's emotions; he exhaled and released Liz's hand.

"The examination is almost complete; everything is treatable, it just will take more time."

Upon hearing that it could cure her, Mizuki felt the girls' gazes towards her instantly become more fervent, and a hint of disbelief set in.

"The most troublesome ones are Liz and Rosemary. Although Ifrit's infection is deep, the Originium is actually the easiest to deal with."

"Can we begin?"

"Tomorrow, I think. I need to go treat Lemuen today."

Mizuki got up, and Kal'tsit led him outside. After making sure the door was locked so that no one inside could hear, she couldn't help but stare at Mizuki.

Ifrit and Rosemary are not yet adults.

"..."

Mizuki took half a minute to understand the meaning of those words, and then instantly realized what they meant.

"I'm not that kind of person!"

"Liz won't work either. If Shining and Nearl go berserk, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

"I'm really not that kind of person!"

Mizuki felt extremely depressed; why did she feel her image was in danger?

Chapter 131 Exusiai: Used to Family

"What did you say? Not twins?"

The plastic knife, smeared with cream, fell to the ground. Exusiai looked at Mizuki with surprise, who reluctantly nodded.

"Could that really be Specter? No, could it be me... Muelsyse?"

Exusiai initially considered whether it was Lemuen's, but then thought it unlikely. Her sister probably wouldn't be that quick. Of course, she figured Lemuen would make her move on Mizuki sooner or later.

"No, that's not it. This matter might be a bit complicated to explain."

Mizuki threw the plastic cake knife into the trash can to Exusiai from using it to stab her later. Getting cream all over her would be a hassle; she'd either have to clean it herself or have someone lick it clean. Mostima loved doing that, and several times when Mizuki was taking a shower, this sister had sneaked in using her abilities.

"Fine, just skip the details and tell me who it is."

After a brief moment of surprise, Exusiai's eyes were filled with displeasure and helplessness. She pouted and puffed out her cheeks, which was rather cute, making Mizuki want to poke her.

For Exusiai, the girls at Penguin Logistics had already served as a cautionary tale, and considering that she might have a lot of past romantic entanglements with Mizuki, she was already somewhat prepared, since she was the one in charge anyway.

Don't be surprised when you find out.

"Don't worry, unless you say it's Croissant, I won't even say 'Huh?' even if you say my sister is pregnant."

Exusiai waved her hand casually. Clearly, she had evolved a certain level of resistance to certain things, and her ability to accept things had increased significantly. It was just that Mizuki couldn't understand why she would rather believe that Lemuen was pregnant than believe that it was Croissant.

"Really?"

"Really? I reckon it's not Muelsyse either."

"Why?"

"If that were the case, she would have come over long ago to force you to get married because you're pregnant. I heard she took maternity leave and annual leave. Suddenly I feel like I went a bit too far last time, what's wrong with me?"

Although her personality hasn't changed much, she's a mother now, so Exusiai's mindset is bound to change. After all, she was directly promoted to the championship, and suddenly she's too lazy to argue with Muelsyse about her plan to steal her boyfriend.

"Actually, she left ten minutes into your session."

"They actually lasted another ten minutes?"

Exusiai stroked her chin. Although she had always thought that Muelsyse had been listening for a long time, upon closer reflection, she realized that this was unlikely. She had assumed that Muelsyse had disappeared while she and Mizuki were gagging each other.

"Fine, so who is it? Do I even know them?"

"I know him, though I might not be familiar with him." Mizuki's tentacles gently covered his ear. "It's Kal'tsit."

"I was just wondering who it was, wasn't it Kyle... huh???"

Exusiai finally blurted out "Huh?" followed by three question marks. Mizuki figured this was a normal reaction. It seemed that Kal'tsit was like a highly respected person to the people of Rhodes Island, so much so that even her smile could be interpreted as a sign of the impending apocalypse.

"How could it be Kal'tsit?" Exusiai suddenly felt that even if Croissant was pregnant with her, she wouldn't react like this. "This is too outrageous, what the hell?"

I'm not exactly familiar with Kal'tsit or Exusiai. After all, the girls from Penguin Logistics aren't permanently stationed at Rhodes Island; they're often out on business. Although many of my ship's operators have entrusted Rhodes Island with transporting goods, Kal'tsit is definitely an exception.

Because there was nothing about Exusiai and the others that she valued; these girls had very clean backgrounds.

"... the Doctor's question."

After hesitating for a moment, Mizuki did not tell Exusiai the instructions he had given to the Seaborn the Brood. After all, the Doctor was at least 99% wrong, and he didn't want to be physically shot.

"I always feel like it's something that will cause my blood pressure to spike if I say it out loud."

"So it's best to just know the result. To be honest, I only found out recently myself."

Mizuki rubbed against Exusiai, and sure enough, her ear was bitten again as a teething object, though Exusiai never bites too hard.

"But at least Skadi's reaction was much better."

"I thought she would come after me with a sword."

Releasing her grip on the Mizuki, Exusiai leaned against the water, picked up a piece of cake, and popped it into her mouth. Exusiai mood quickly returned to normal, like a landslide. Although she didn't know why it was Kal'tsit, there was nothing she could do. She couldn't exactly use a time machine to stop it, could she? Besides, what difference would one more make?

"I tried to stop her; she was worried that I wouldn't want her anymore in the future."

"So, shall we each raise an older sister in the future?"

Since Mizuki agreed to let Lemuen move in with them, Exusiai naturally didn't mind having Skadi as well. She had figured it out; Skadi was the kind of girl who absolutely refused to admit defeat, and the girl's reclusiveness was also quite severe. She was always worried that Mizuki would abandon her.

"Yes, it's best if it's lively."

"So why Kal'tsit?"

"That's a long story... Ah, I'll tell you later."

The knocking at the door made Mizuki stop, and Exusiai just nodded. Anyway, it didn't matter who was there, but Kal'tsit was really too unexpected.

At this point in time, Mizuki couldn't imagine who would come looking for him. Lemuen's treatment would have to wait until evening, and Mizuki also planned to go to Lungmen later. He needed to say goodbye to Ch'en and the others. He also had a letter that Talulah had entrusted him to deliver after Rhodes Island left Lungmen.

When Mizuki opened the door, she found that there wasn't just one person standing at the entrance of her dormitory, but five.

Liberi, who wears glasses, Vouivre looks like he's a formidable fighter, are two people Mizuki knows, though she's never met them. They are Silence and Saria from Rhine Lab. Muelsyse had told Saria Mizuki currently in a semi-retired state.

Then came the white-haired, black-robed, gentle-looking Sarkaz woman and Nearl beside her. Recalling Kal'tsit's words earlier, this must be the Shining. Mizuki immediately understood why these people had come looking for her.

"Which one... Mizuki, right?"

The last to speak was the woman from the Feline who looked fiery and passionate. She wasn't very tall, but Mizuki still had to look up to see her. For some reason, she always gave off the feeling that "this cat is huge and seems easy to fool."

"It's me. Are you all here to discuss treatment?"

"My name is Silence, and I am Ifrit's nominal guardian."

Completely ignoring Saria, who was about to speak, Silence first introduced herself. It wasn't the first time she had heard of Mizuki; in fact, Ifrit had borrowed Mizuki's game console yesterday.

Nearl and Mizuki already knew each other from the previous Chernobog incident, so there was no need for them to introduce themselves again. Instead, Shining, who was beside her, took the initiative to speak.

"Shining, a doctor in the Medical Department, and Liz's guardian."

"I'm Huang, just call me Huang." The most enthusiastic Huang grabbed Mizuki's hand without any hesitation, his eyes full of expectation, "Can you really cure Rosemary's illness?"

Sure enough, the people in front of him had come for treatment, which was within Mizuki's expectations. This was because what he was going to do was too incredible for most people. In fact, the Oripathy that was the least of his problems was the simplest thing he could deal with.

"Let's talk somewhere else," Mizuki said with a smile, then turned to look at his girlfriend, who gave him a somewhat resentful glare before waving her hand to indicate that he should come back soon.

If Mizuki doesn't return within an hour, then Exusiai has every reason to suspect that he's out fooling around with another woman again.

"Why are they all women?"

Watching Mizuki leave, Exusiai raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing a problem: the male-to-female ratio on Rhodes Island was indeed quite skewed, and for some reason, Mizuki had been interacting primarily with female operators until now.

Exusiai felt she still needed to keep a close eye on things and be ready to assert her dominance at all times, lest she end up like Skadi.

Okay, it's decided. Even if Mizuki is going to Kazdel, she'll go with her! Anyway, Mizuki can fight!

At this moment, Mizuki had no idea what his girlfriend was thinking. To be honest, Texas admired him for being able to get used to Exusiai's way of thinking in such a short time, and even guess Exusiai's thoughts, showing an extraordinary tacit understanding.

However, Mizuki's head was a bit noisy right now; it seemed that something had happened on the Sea Siren's side again.

As mentioned before, the Sea Siren is a very curious creature, and like Mizuki, she often acts on a whim. However, when Mizuki gets a whim, she might sing a song, feel the wind, or go to the Rhodes Island cafeteria to cook something delicious for her girlfriend.

But the Sea Siren are different. These girls don't need to sleep or rest. They were born not long ago, and even though they had lived for quite a while when they were Seaborn, from a human perspective, this world is still full of new things for them.

[Holy crap, how can there be such a weirdo?]

That was the voice of Siren No. 1. Mizuki didn't know what had happened; she simply went to the lounge with the others.

"Regarding treatment, please feel free to ask any questions you may have, and I will try my best to answer them."

After hearing Mizuki's words, even the most enthusiastic Huang couldn't help but scratch his head, but he didn't rush to speak, because they still found it hard to believe that this boy, who looked to be only up to their chest, could actually heal their companions and family.

However, Kal'tsit had already spoken with them, and Kal'tsit authority was beyond question. In addition, there was Lemuen as a living example, which made the group unable to resist coming to find Mizuki, and they ended up together.

"So it really can be cured?"

"Yes, although it will take a lot more time, the treatment is not difficult. In the initial stage, it will take about a month and about four sessions to stabilize the condition. After that, we need to wait for observation until there are no abnormalities before we can continue."

Four times is a conservative estimate. Currently, and in the most serious cases, are Liz and Rosemary, who will need a maximum of five times. Ifrit will probably only need three times. The only problem is that Oripathy has eroded her bodily functions and tissues. While removing the Originium from her body, Mizuki also needs to help her repair the damaged flesh and blood.

"Phew... Sorry, this news is still too, too surprising for us."

"Understandable."

In fact, their reaction was much better than Mizuki had expected. At least they didn't think Mizuki was a fraud. Of course, they probably didn't have much hope either, since only Mizuki himself could perform his treatment.

[No, can't you be a little more assertive?]

It was Siren No. 1's voice again. If he wasn't worried that these Sea Siren might impulsively shoot down Iberia when he wasn't watching them closely, he really would have cut off the connection like before.

It's not that these sounds have a significant impact on his mind, but they sometimes interrupt his train of thought.

But what exactly happened to make the usually carefree Siren No. 1 express such a depressed sentiment?

"You are Sea Siren! Sea Siren!"
