Mizuki's Flavor Was Pretty Good
"Since you miss him, why not just stay with him? After all, this commission is just a simple cargo delivery."
Texas is right. This shipment is nothing special. The bounty hunters and scavengers in the wilderness are no threat to Penguin Logistics. Texas and Croissant alone are enough.
"That won't do. Penguin Logistics all about ensuring that not a single person is missing."
Exusiai blew on her hair. If it weren't for the Iberia incident, Mizuki would have naturally come with them too. Exusiai wasn't comfortable leaving him alone on Rhodes Island. Not to mention Mostima, Skadi and Specter also needed to be kept in check.
"But what do you think I should bring back for Mizuki this time when we go to Great Yan? How about a washboard?"
"Don't you already have a washboard?"
Texas glanced at Exusiai's chest, and the latter took a moment to react.
"I'm not having it! It may be a little small, but it's still developing."
Exusiai spoke with great confidence, after all, she was about to become a mother, and although it was a virtual pregnancy, her body was still experiencing the expected reactions.
"To be honest, I always thought Mizuki had some kind of peculiar fondness for small-breasted women."
Texas put down her teacup, or at least that's what she thought until that night when it was four against one, and then the next day she had a sharp pain in her chest.
"Are you talking about Mizuki?"
Sora and Croissant, wrapped in blankets, came over. They had been asleep, but in the wilderness, they had to be on their guard at all times. The sound of Exusiai and Texas chatting woke them up.
"Since we can't sleep anyway, why don't we exchange experiences?"
Croissant rubbed her hands together and sat down on the side. In comparison, Sora seemed much more proper. Exusiai nodded in agreement.
"So what experiences should we exchange?"
"There's something I've always been curious about!" Croissant raised her hand, then looked at Sora beside her, who was drinking hot tea. "Sora, how do you manage to last for more than three hours every time?"
"Pfft!" Kong couldn't help but spit out the hot tea in his mouth. Luckily, no one was in front of him. "Cough cough cough, cough, you... cough cough, why did you ask that question? Can't you ask something serious?"
"Actually, we were both very curious too."
Exusiai and Texas raised their hands simultaneously. Although Sora's stamina was indeed the best in the entire Penguin Logistics, Exusiai was extremely envious that she could still last for several hours under that intensity.
"This... how would I know?"
The girls chatted casually about topics that made people blush and their hearts race. If Mizuki hadn't been absent, tonight's experience-sharing session would probably have included a practical component.
Of course, Mizuki had always known about Exusiai's movements. He was worried about letting Exusiai and the others go so far away, so he had sent a small cloud to accompany Exusiai and the others early on. If there was any danger, the rain would cause the tentacles to appear immediately to protect them.
However, Mizuki also wanted to take this opportunity to test how far the projection range of the Sea of Life could be in the real world; currently, it was definitely over a hundred kilometers.
However, when he heard the girls jokingly discussing this topic, Mizuki chose to disconnect; if he listened any longer, he would feel terrible.
Compared to those girls who were plotting to drain her dry, Skadi was much more obedient and adorable. Of course, Mizuki would be even happier if Specter didn't use her hands to tease her.
"What's wrong?"
Lying on Mizuki's lap, Skadi noticed that her younger brother's expression was strange, as if he had eaten a nutritional meal from Phoebe.
"It's nothing, I just remembered some things. Is my sister coming with me to Iberia this time?"
"Okay, sure."
Skadi nodded, then continued to enjoy Mizuki's comforting words with her eyes closed. It felt wonderful; the indescribable sense of security made Skadi especially sleepy. However, she worried that if she went to sleep now, the precious time she could spend with Mizuki would be reduced.
Seeing Skadi half asleep, Mizuki glared at Specter with annoyance. Specter's hand was on Mizuki's back, slipping inside his clothes to gently scratch his back. As for the rest of the action, Mizuki couldn't quite bring himself to say it.
"Are you planning to take me with you? I have a few acquaintances in Iberia I'd like to meet."
Specter's smile, as always, carried a hint of playfulness and cunning, but Mizuki knew she was there to settle scores. Specter had once lay on his chest, drawing circles as she casually recounted to Mizuki how she had transformed from Laurentina into that mad nun, and how she had been tormented by large amounts of concentrated Originium liquid.
Therefore, Mizuki doesn't have any good feelings towards the Church of the Deep. Although Cicero, who was kind to her, was a member of the Church of the Deep, as Miss Doctor said, Cicero was an outlier in the Church of the Deep. Moreover, he could only be said to be neither a bad person nor a good person.
"Besides you, there's also the Doctor and Ho'olheyak. Oh, right, there's one more person. I think you'll be very happy to meet Specter."
These words immediately piqued Specter's interest, but she was much smarter than Skadi and quickly guessed the answer.
"You've found our sister?"
Upon hearing this, Skadi, who had been feigning Mizuki, instantly opened her eyes and excitedly pushed Suigetsu onto the bed. Oh, and Specter was also there. She then realized that Specter's hand had been on Mizuki's waist the whole time, but she didn't have time to be jealous at that moment.
"Is it true, Mizuki?"
"I didn't find it, it was Kal'tsit. Actually, that... well, Lady Gladiia has been on Rhodes Island for a while now."
"Team leader??"
For the first time, Specter showed a look of utter surprise, not only because Gladiia was a member of the Abyssal Hunters, but also because she was their captain.
"Ah, it seems that Specter and Skadi know each other. That's good. By the way, you're pressing down on me so much I can't breathe."
Although Skadi had a great figure, being pressed down on her didn't feel uncomfortable at all; in fact, the feel was quite nice. However, her weight still made Mizuki a little uncomfortable. But Skadi just puffed out her cheeks; she knew very well that her current weight was like having a brick placed on Mizuki's chest.
"I won't move, I'll suffocate you!"
Skadi pressed Mizuki's head against her chest, Specter quickly pushed her away and then hugged Mizuki to her chest.
"Mizuki, what exactly happened? Tell your sister~ How about I give you a special reward later?"
Specter's tone was lighthearted and playful, yet subtly seductive. Mizuki blushed slightly, mainly because she knew what Specter's special reward was, and she had also overheard Exusiai and the others' conversation.
"Don't you dare seduce my brother! You bad woman!"
Skadi's emotions were more turbulent than ever before. Doing such things behind her back was one thing, but daring to do it right in front of her? Did they really think Skadi was someone to be trifled with?
"How about we do it together tonight? I can't handle Mizuki by myself. He always goes really hard towards the end."
"Explain in detail how you applied the force?"
They say women can change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book, and Mizuki certainly witnessed that today. He even suddenly felt that he shouldn't have come to find these two alone; he had walked right into their trap.
"Um, sis, how about we talk about Ms. Gladiia first?"
"No rush~" Specter gently wrapped his arm around Mizuki's waist to keep him from running away. "We can chat slowly during our break later~"
"But... Waaah!"
Overwhelmed with excitement and barely suppressed impulse, Skadi made the difficult decision to act. Tears streamed down her face. Finally, finally it was her turn! She was supposed to have arrived first!
Hearing the commotion, Gladiia, who was already about to push the door open, suddenly felt a few veins popping out on her forehead. "Damn it, have these two never seen a man before? Can't they at least wait for me to appear? Why do they seem so unfamiliar with their companion?"
Especially Laurentina, she was the one who personally mentored her back then. You're prioritizing romance over the captain, aren't you? Just you wait!
Mizuki originally wanted to say, "But Gladiia is waiting outside the door," but Skadi didn't give him the chance. This girl had been holding back for over a year, and she immediately shut Mizuki up. Today, even if Gladiia came, or even if her captain Ulpianus came, she would still do the same!
Achoo!
Off the coast of Iberia, Ulpianus frowned as he looked at the group of sirens Sea Siren in the moonlight on the distant shore. He had almost given himself away because of that sneeze; he didn't think he could defeat a group of Sea Siren who had nothing better to do than think about inventing new ways to die.
After witnessing a certain Sea Siren, whose number was unknown, casually cut herself in half to measure the length of her tail and then nonchalantly put it back together, he realized that this was a group of ruthless people he couldn't afford to mess with.
But he was still very curious about how this almost human-like new species of Seaborn had evolved; it was too incredible.
At this moment, the more than three hundred Sea Siren gathered nearby all came together on the beach, their snake tails transformed into serpent tails as they basked in the moonlight, chatting idly, making as much noise as a morning market.
"Hey, how's it going over there? Any problems?"
"Without you, as soon as we said we wouldn't charge money, would give us food and subsidies, the whole town came. One person even brought his three-month-old baby to join our Life God Church."
"Speaking of which, is our religious name Tai He? Izumik is blue-themed, and the Life God Church... it sounds like the Sami, or the green-themed druids and elves in the game."
"Look at what you're saying, isn't Mom's head green?"
"You fake daughter! Exusiai's hair is red, Izumik loves it."
"Oh, I was thinking of dyeing my hair green later, but it seems I won't need to. Perhaps we should change our name to the Deep Sea Cult?"
"The Church of the Deep will probably sue you the very next day for using this name."
The Sea Siren are now gradually getting used to communicating in language, mainly through conversations on the mental network or in the Sea of Life, where Mizuki can hear them. Even if they don't know why, they're guaranteed to get a beating.
Although language communication is less efficient, it works.
"Are we planning to conquer Iberia next?"
"What are you thinking? Don't be in such a hurry. What's so great about occupying such a poor and dilapidated place? Let's help our believers get rich first."
How do I get rich?
"Nonsense, didn't Second Aunt say that we can fully leverage our ecological advantages, open up new tracks and strategies, extend the industrial chain, increase profits, and create an overwhelming situation?"
Speak like a human being!
"We'll engage in marine aquaculture! We'll raise fish! We'll raise crabs! We'll raise sea urchins! We'll harvest seaweed!"
Siren No. 666 slapped the tide with its tail. Although it sounds a bit too simple, it has to be admitted that it is indeed a good idea. Because of the scourge of the Seaborn for many years, the seafood industry in various countries has basically declined to the point of bankruptcy. Let alone fishing, they dare not even eat a piece of seaweed.
But now that the Sea Siren are around, Iberia has no problem developing marine resources and aquaculture. Sea fish are even a scarce commodity, so making a fortune from them is no problem!
"Great! Where did you get this idea from?"
"Nothing, I'm just hungry and want some cold seaweed salad."
"... I'm hungry too."
"How about we go downstairs and get some late-night snacks?"
"I want to go to the fries hourly dock!"
"Look at this silly child, he can't even express himself clearly because he's hungry."
The Brood of Sea Siren surged into the sea; they still needed to catch fish to distribute to their followers tomorrow, they couldn't let their little brothers go hungry.
Chapter 144 The taste of Mizuki is quite good
Every beautiful day has a less-than-ideal beginning. Looking at Skadi pressing down on her, Mizuki finally understood why she had dreamt last night that she felt like she was being crushed by two mountains. Yes, they were indeed two mountains.
Specter was sleeping on the floor, apparently kicked down by Skadi. Although she wasn't covered by a blanket, the Abyssal Hunters' physical condition was such that they wouldn't catch a cold. These sisters could swim freely in the near-freezing deep sea. But looking at Specter's appearance, Mizuki finally remembered that she might have been a little too rough last night.
After all, Skadi and Specter are both Abyssal Hunters, and their stamina and endurance far surpass those of Exusiai and the others. Mizuki naturally didn't need to hold back, but even so, Skadi and Specter managed to hold him off for almost five hours. They were truly impressive.
Speaking of which, Mizuki discovered that Specter's body was quite flexible, which she herself said she developed through dance training. As for Skadi... Mizuki usually didn't dare let her be on top, otherwise the bed might not be able to support her.
"Um... let me sleep a little longer."
Skadi muttered to herself, but it was clearly just her mind playing a trick on her. Last night, when Specter went down, she was halfway through the fight and Mizuki took over, which startled Ishar-mla. But thankfully, Ishar-mla was even more willing to do it than Skadi.
In terms of stamina, Specter can't compare to Skadi; she's still sleeping right now. It's hard to imagine that she, who's like Sleeping Beauty mermaid, actually... well, never mind, I won't say anymore.
There was still work to do today, so Mizuki gently separated from Skadi, activated the Fusion Release, and then picked up the Specter from the ground and placed it next to Skadi. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to wipe them clean with a wet towel, since doing so might wake them up.
Shuiyue picked up the clothes that had been carelessly thrown on the floor last night and handed them to the tentacles to wash. Mizuki also tidied up the room, and the tentacles brought him new clothes to change into.
After finishing that, Mizuki kissed Skadi and Specter on the cheek before heading to the Medical Department.
There's no need to worry about breakfast either; the tentacles have already prepared it for her. Mizuki truly feels that her tentacles are more useful than anything else.
"Um?"
With a piece of bread in her mouth, Mizuki looked at the trio enjoying the breeze on the bridge and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to put the Doctor down yesterday. Hopefully, she hasn't caught a cold!
Thinking this, Mizuki was about to run over when she suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was there an extra person?
"Oh, Doctor, I'm serious, please let me try. I'm just curious about your blood. I'm the blood bank manager at Rhodes Island, but Kal'tsit absolutely refuses to let me see your blood reports."
Warfarin, who was discovered by Kal'tsit and hung up after trying to steal the Doctor's blood, still harbored wicked intentions, and the three silkworms swayed in the air like this.
"No way! Absolutely no way!"
The Doctor quickly shook her head. She knew very well how attractive her blood was to Bloodfiend like Warfarin. If Warfarin smelled her blood, it would be really bad if she were targeted and entangled by this guy in the future.
It's worth noting that Warfarin is one of the few in the Medical Department who dares to go against Kal'tsit, and even dares to drug Skadi and think about dissecting the Abyssal Hunters.
"I'll just take one bite! Just one bite! I'm Bloodfiend who can control my blood-sucking urges! I'm not some brainless monster!"
"I don't believe it!"
Miss Doctor is certain that if she gets bitten, Warfarin will definitely hold a grudge and suck her dry sooner or later.
Huang was still sleeping; the big, silly cat was so warm that the Doctor and Warfarin didn't feel cold at all.
Mizuki watched the three swaying in the breeze, finding it quite amusing. She reached out her tentacles and plucked Huang, the Doctor, and Warfarin off together, untying their bandages.
"Mizuki! Help me!"
When the Doctor saw Mizuki, she hid behind him as if he were her savior. Huang quickly woke up, scratching his head, not knowing what had happened. Warfarin looked at Mizuki curiously, just as curious about this boyfriend of Exusiai and Skadi's brother.
Apart from Miss Doctor, Mizuki's file was also sealed away, which made Warfarin equally eager to explore the mysteries of Mizuki's body.
"Dr. Warfarin, please don't scare the Doctor."
