Rosmontis's Kiss

Realizing that the guy in front of her didn't seem to recognize her, Sea Siren #2333 immediately put on a business-like smile; she was about to start her deception.

"I'm not that kind of person. What's this Life God Church you're talking about? I've never heard of it."

"Because we've only been established for less than a day," Miss Sea Siren scratched her head. "We originally started this religious practice just because we thought it would be fun."

"Fun?"

"No, it's about letting all people bask in the Illustrious of my lord Izumik. My lord Izumik said... all life in the world is equally precious, even a single Originium Slug has a reason to exist."

Okay, actually, this doctrine was just made up by Siren No. 2333 on the spot. Anyway, for the Sea Siren, as long as it's not Mizuki who says it, they can make up whatever they want.

If there's one thing Mizuki said that could be considered a doctrine, it would probably be her previous statement, "If you keep messing around, I'll cut off your internet connection." That statement is even more damaging than "I've found you another stepmother."

Cutting off someone's internet connection is like killing their parents! Oh, so it was your own father who cut off the internet, oh well, never mind then.

"And what about those ruthless murderers?"

"Ah, those kinds of people, my Lord will surely forgive their sins, but our job is to send them to see my Lord!"

In terms of their views on good and evil, the Sea Siren undoubtedly inherited Mizuki's. They believed that everyone in the world could be simply divided into good and bad people. Good people were welcome, of course, but bad people could only become fertilizer for the sea.

"So what do you need to do after joining the church?"

"Ah, the Life God Church never asks anything of any believer. The essence of life is giving to one another and caring for one another, but we do have literacy classes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon."

"You're even in charge of literacy programs?"

"Nonsense, how will we have the next generation if we don't focus on education? We also offer various crash courses in languages, arithmetic, and legal consultations, but all of that will have to wait until we build the church."

Speaking of which, Miss Siren No. 2333 was also helpless. Originally, the sisters were carefree in the ocean, and when they were idle, they would compete to see who could be lifted the highest by a volcanic eruption. It is said that one of the sisters flew to almost 6,000 meters and crashed into some kind of isolation layer.

However, because some of the sisters had nothing better to do, they actually taught Rosemary a bunch of random things, making Mizuki realize that these Sea Siren must be bored to cause so much trouble. She strictly ordered them to find jobs themselves, or else she would cut off their internet access.

The Sea Siren were also at a loss, so they set up a church. Since they were all bored anyway, they might as well spread their religion!

"... Don't you accept any donations?"

"We're not an illegal organization or a criminal gang, why would we take money?"

Miss Sea Siren's question stumped Irene. Indeed, if you have to pay to join, it's no different from collecting protection money. Besides, this sect's style is rather peculiar.

"Hey, do you want to join? It's free anyway, you might as well believe a little." Miss Sea Siren leaned close to Irene. "Want to join, sister? I can give you back your gun."

Anyway, those guns were practically useless in the hands of the Sea Siren, except for their cool appearance; they were less effective than water guns. Besides, Mizuki insisted that they return the items.

"My gun... is that you!?"

Irene finally recognized who was in front of her, and Miss Sea Siren rubbed her hands together with a grin.

"I'm serious, if you convert, I can get you all the guns in your Inquisition."

"You... I, Irene, would rather die, even if I jumped into the Dead Sea and drowned, than join you!"

Feeling immensely humiliated, Irene couldn't help but roar, "You stole someone's things and expect them to exchange them for someone else? What kind of logic is that!"

"So, that's your reason for bringing back a fish, a pound of eggs, and hundreds of guns?"

Looking at the little top hat that came with the guns on Irene's head, Dario suddenly felt a strange sense of shame. But it was true that Irene had retrieved these guns for the Inquisition, and he couldn't very well blame her for that. If someone could get these back in exchange, then Dario would have done it too.

"I'm sorry, Master, but they gave me way too much, and besides..."

Irene felt that this matter could not be handled without the Inquisition's approval, but the value of those hundreds of guns to Iberia was undeniably significant.

"And although their initiation communion looks strange, it tastes pretty good."

Mizuki was on Rhodes Island, had no idea how busy his girls had kept the Inquisition in the lurch. He still had to clean up the mess they had left behind, mainly Rosemary. She was now following Mizuki everywhere, and it had been like this since yesterday. She had been waiting at Mizuki's door since early this morning.

Of course, Mizuki, who already has Susie, doesn't mind having another little sister, but the problem is that this little cat doesn't intend to just be a little sister. She wants to do everything that Lemuen did to Mizuki.

"Good morning, Mizuki. Oh dear, did you get caught by Rosemary again?"

Looking at Rosemary, who was closely following Mizuki, the Doctor had a knowing look on her face. Judging from the kitten's unsteady but steady steps, the thing the Doctor was thinking probably didn't happen yesterday afternoon, otherwise she should have been carried by Mizuki.

However, the satisfaction on the kitten's face clearly showed that Mizuki must have spent a lot of time and effort comforting her yesterday.

"Doctor, you still have something to say?"

Mizuki's resentful gaze made the Doctor look away. There was nothing she could do; at that moment, the Doctor felt that if she had stayed, Rosemary would have used physical means to get rid of her.

However, she was also curious. Logically speaking, Rosemary and Mizuki had only met a few times, so why was she clinging to him?

"By the way, do you want to go out for dinner together?"

Upon hearing the word "eat, "Rosemary's eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't help but tug at Mizuki's hand.

"Mizuki, I want to eat that..."

"Not now!" Mizuki gently tapped Rosemary's head. "Good children need to eat properly to grow up."

"Oh." Rosemary wagged her tail in annoyance, but still obediently followed orders. The Doctor seemed to have misunderstood something and gave a meaningful smile.

Since they'd already run into each other, the group naturally decided to have a meal together. Mizuki pondered whether to bring Rosemary along when she went to discuss the Iberia travel plans with Skadi and Specter later. With a little girl present, they probably wouldn't be so heartless as to attack her directly, right?

No, things will get worse if Rosemary joins the battle. We should call Kal'tsit instead.

"Ah, Rosemary Sister, that's wonderful! Sister W and I are a perfect match..."

Just as Mizuki was deep in thought, two Vulpo girls walked over side by side. One of them was a very cute golden nine-tailed fox, and the other had pink hair but looked rather indifferent. Unlike Rosemary's indifference caused by her absent-mindedness and forgetfulness, the other girl's indifference was completely natural.

That's Suzuran, the light of Rhodes Island, and the most beloved and cherished child on Rhodes Island, regardless of age or gender. Because she is young, sensible, and kind, she can get little cakes wherever she goes.

However, upon seeing the Doctor, Suzuran suddenly stopped in her tracks, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. She subconsciously took a few steps back and cautiously raised her hands.

"Um... Dr... Doctor, good morning."

It's not really fair to blame Suzuran for being impolite. After all, she heard the Doctor say things like, "I'm the kind of person who can make Suzuran a mother," during their first meeting. The fact that she didn't turn around and run away the moment she saw the Doctor shows how polite she was.

If it were anyone else, they would have called the police immediately.

"Um, good morning, Suzuran. Don't worry, I'm still perfectly sane this morning."

The Doctor scratched her head. Because there was just too much work at Rhodes Island, and Mizuki couldn't help her every minute, the Doctor, overworking her brain, would often enter a state of irrationality, doing things she had ideas for but wouldn't dare to do.

"Really? That's great!"

Suzuran patted her chest; she almost wanted to call Kal'tsit for help, but she quickly noticed Rosemary and the Mizuki Serenity she was clinging to. She felt like she'd seen him somewhere before, but couldn't quite place him; he looked very familiar.

"Who are you..."

Mizuki felt the same way Suzuran looked familiar, as if he had seen her before but couldn't quite place her. However, he noticed someone else's gaze more closely—that of the girl named W.

Confusion, curiosity, and a hint of indifference quickly turned into fear. He subconsciously took a few steps back, staring intently at Mizuki.

What exactly are you?

This might sound harsh, but in W's view, Mizuki showed absolutely no fear. Countless tentacles emerged from the corner, swaying and dancing around him. The eerie aura made W subconsciously feel a sense of goodwill towards him.

"I... ah, you can see them?"

Mizuki glanced at the tentacles dancing like seaweed around her and with a thought, she retracted them all. However, W remained vigilant, but this time it was clearly not because of Mizuki, but because of the Doctor beside him.

"Doctor, wipe your drool, you're scaring the child."

Mizuki reached out and pinched the Doctor's waist, feeling a little embarrassed. Why were the two people she loved most so indecent? Speaking of which, it seems the Doctor isn't immune to handsome men and beautiful women; she's powerless against anyone with high looks.

Sigh, it suddenly feels like even Rosemary's right next to me, is more suitable to be a wife than Doctor... Wait, no, that's a bad idea!

"Sister Rosemary, who is this?"

Lily of the Valley felt like she'd seen it somewhere before, but Suzuran couldn't quite place it. Rosemary glanced at Mizuki and hesitated for a moment.

"His name is Mizuki." After saying that, Rosemary added, "He's my boyfriend."

Chapter 140 Rosemary Kiss

"Hey Rosemary, where did you go so early in the morning? I was worried about you for a while."

Seeing Rosemary serving her food, Huang enthusiastically picked her up, and the little cat's face immediately showed a helpless expression.

It's not that Rosemary dislikes Blaze; in fact, she's always been grateful for Blaze's care. But Blaze is just too enthusiastic, literally. This big, steaming cat always likes to hug her so affectionately, even though it's winter, the Rhodes Island cafeteria has air conditioning.

"Huang, put me down, I want to eat."

"Oh, let's eat together."

"No, I need to go over there."

Rosemary pointed to Mizuki over there. The Doctor was sitting to his right, and the seat to his left was empty. Suzuran and W were sitting opposite Mizuki, seemingly very curious about him, asking all sorts of questions.

"So Brother Mizuki doesn't remember anything about what happened in the past?"

Suzuran nodded slightly, seemingly preoccupied with something, while W remained wary of the Doctor, and of course, equally wary of Mizuki.

The reason she was wary of Doctor was mainly because the Doctor's gaze was just too... well, it was more of an instinct than a wariness of Mizuki. W found it hard to imagine that there could be someone like Mizuki in this world who didn't even have the feeling of fear. Moreover, she could see that there wasn't a single spirit around Mizuki, let alone any evil spirits.

"It's troublesome not being able to remember the past. I almost forgot about Susie, but life is pretty good now."

"Being surrounded by a bunch of beautiful girls all day long, ranging from over ten thousand years old to fourteen years old, how could it not be great?"

The Doctor muttered to herself, then Mizuki stuffed a sausage into her mouth to shut her up. How dare she bring that up? The Doctor was the one behind Kal'tsit's incident; if it weren't for her, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"???"

A few question marks seemed to appear above Suzuran's head, as she didn't quite understand what the Doctor had said. W frowned, seemingly having some misunderstanding about Mizuki.

"Don't listen to the Doctor's nonsense. Eight out of ten things she says are unreliable." Mizuki didn't want to be misunderstood as some strange person. "Rosemary and I are just ordinary friends. She treats me like a brother."

Miss Doctor was about to say something, but Mizuki's tentacles very sensibly picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Oh, I see. I just heard Rosemary Sister say that Brother Mizuki is actually her boyfriend. I thought Brother Mizuki was a loli... who likes little girls."

Mizuki's expression turned helpless. This was bad. If she didn't get Rosemary to explain things clearly, Mizuki felt that she would be misunderstood as someone who should join the Lungmen Guard Department for the rest of her life. It was really all the Doctor's fault.

Seeing that Suzuran of the Valley and Mizuki seemed to be chatting and laughing together, Rosemary couldn't help but frown. A pang of jealousy rose in her heart, and she suddenly felt that Suzuran wasn't as cute as before.

She left Huang's side, intending to return to her own position, but Skadi and Specter also noticed Mizuki. In fact, it should be said that these two came specifically to find Mizuki, and they also set their sights on the only empty seat to Mizuki's left.

But someone was one step ahead of the three of them. Just as Mizuki was about to explain to Suzuran that she wasn't the kind of person with strange fetishes, a cold and familiar voice rang in her ears. Kal'tsit sat down directly in the seat that Rosemary had reserved and even helped Mizuki straighten her collar.

"Kal'tsit, you actually come to the cafeteria?"

The Doctor suddenly felt a sense of fear. Although she was someone who liked to court death, Kal'tsit was someone who would really kill her. Meeting Kal'tsit was like meeting her natural enemy.

"Can't I come?"

Kal'tsit gave the Doctor a cold look, and the latter quickly shook her head. What a joke! If she dared to say no, she wouldn't be going back to her room tonight. She would definitely be served on the bridge, and might even be hung upside down.

Kal'tsit glanced again at the various fries, hamburgers, and steaks on the Doctor's plate, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so you can't eat too much of this stuff. It's unhealthy. I'll have Operator Phoebe prepare a suitable healthy meal for you later."

"Why don't you just tell me to die?!" Miss Doctor instantly exploded. She remembered that a while ago, out of curiosity, she tried Phoebe's healthy meal and lost three hours of her memory. Her brain didn't want to recall what her tongue had tasted at that time. Phoebe's healthy meal was so bad that even a dog wouldn't eat it.

Seeing the Doctor jump up and down in a huff, Kal'tsit's mood immediately improved a lot, and she glanced at Mizuki's breakfast again.

Is this all we're eating?

"Hmm, I never eat too much for breakfast." Mizuki thought for a moment, then shared half of the meat sandwich on her plate with Kal'tsit. "Maintain a balanced diet. Don't always eat so little, especially since you're always working overtime late into the night."

Kal'tsit was a little taken aback by Mizuki's action, but she remained calm and nodded as if nothing had happened.

The Doctor was immediately displeased. What did this mean? Such differential treatment? Mizuki's plate had at least twice the amount of meat as hers. Why did she have to eat Phoebe's nutritious meal while Mizuki received attention? Oh, he's Kal'tsit's lover. Never mind then.

Kal'tsit rarely comes to the cafeteria. Everyone on Rhodes Island knows how busy Dr. Kal'tsit is. She's always working overtime, practically trying to multiply herself into three hundred people. Working overtime late into the night is a regular occurrence for her.

But... how could Kal'tsit, someone like that, come to the cafeteria, sit at the same table with Mizuki, and even accept the steak he offered her?

Wow, Mizuki is really something, daring to treat Kal'tsit like that, and the key is she wasn't even ignored.

"Kal'tsit, this is my seat."

Rosemary nudged Kal'tsit's arm. Previously, the Originium on Kal'tsit's right shoulder had been gnawed off by Mizuki as a snack, so she had to make some similar disguise and stick it on.

"Your location?"

Kal'tsit glanced at Rosemary, hesitated for a moment, and thought that although Mizuki had helped cure the kitten's amnesia and mania, it was still a little dishonorable to compete for a seat with a child.

"Oh, Rosemary, sweetie, let's give this spot to Kal'tsit." The Doctor reached out and ruffled the kitten's hair. "Respecting elders is a traditional virtue, after all."

"Puff!"

Upon hearing this, the veteran Rhodes Island operators around couldn't help but spit out their soup or rice. "Damn it, he really is the Doctor! His ways of courting death are always so novel, never repeating themselves. The most amazing one is still alive!"

Seeing Kal'tsit's face darken, Mizuki secretly pinched her thigh under the table.

"Indeed, we must cherish the young. Hmm, then I..."
