Arknights, But Raising Sea Creatures on Terra Chapter 29

Sea Creatures have simple minds, their standards for judging good and evil, like and dislike, are as straightforward as a child's.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi read this on her phone, and so she acted accordingly.

Regarding the matter of black stockings on the face, Lord God did not refuse. Not refusing meant tacit consent, tacit consent meant affirmation, and affirmation meant truth!

So, you little rabbit, how dare you defy Lord God's will?

You are disloyal!

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi floated towards Amiya. Amiya was startled and immediately dodged backward.

The first time they met, they had a fight. Since Heart of the Corrupted Skadi didn't unleash Great Silence right away, it meant she wasn't planning on going all out.

Precisely because Amiya knew this, she didn't fight back.

And so, the fish and the rabbit chased each other around in that little castle.

Until a creak—

The small window of the castle was opened from the outside, and half of Chen Ran's face appeared.

"I knew it, what were you two making all that racket for in this hamster cage, ding-dong-clanging."

Chen Ran tilted his head back and reached his hand into the window.

One of his hands was almost as big as half the room in the toy house. He reached in, squeezed Amiya into a corner, and with one grab, caught Heart of the Corrupted Skadi.

"So, what are you, a ornamental fish, doing awake so late at night?"

Chen Ran withdrew his hand, released his grip, and looked at Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who was sitting obediently and quietly in his palm, but still tightly clutching her phone to her chest. Chen Ran smiled and poked her little head with his finger. "Alright, you come with me. If you stay here, you'll keep that little rabbit awake all night too."

After speaking, Chen Ran glanced at Amiya, who was peeking out from the window, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, little rabbit, you get some rest. No one should be bothering you anymore."

"Ah... okay..." Amiya nodded subconsciously, then quickly added, "Um, Lord God, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Watching Chen Ran turn and leave, Amiya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She closed the window, sat back on the bed, and in her heart, felt that things had finally settled down. However, the rabbit ears on top of her head perked up again, and she tilted her head to eavesdrop.

This was because even though her Lord God had already left, she could still hear the voice from his conversation with Heart of the Corrupted Skadi:

"So, whose phone is this Red T holding?"

"That little rabbit's? Good grief, Red T, you're exploiting a loophole here too, aren't you?"

"I told you you could only play on your phone for three hours a day, Red T, so you decided to play on someone else's so it wouldn't be timed, right?"

"Oh... Red T, you're saying you want to learn new poses by playing on your phone?"

"No need, I'm not picky. Black stockings, white stockings, bare feet—"

"What do you mean, 'covered in chocolate'? Don't waste food like that—and don't give it to me to eat either."

Amiya, who was eavesdropping in the toy house: "... ..."

... ... ...

... ...

Sea Creatures do not need sleep.

All evolutionary directions for Sea Creatures are aimed at better survival. Can sleeping be considered better survival?

No.

Who knows, they might be sleeping soundly only to be caught by the Sargol people and turned into sashimi.

So, even if they originally needed sleep, they would evolve themselves to not need it.

"Hmm... Since Sea Creatures don't need sleep, then why is this Miss Red Skadi... lying there motionless?"

After listening to Chen Ran's explanation, Amiya turned her head and looked at Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, asking curiously, "Could it be..."

"She's not dead."

Chen Ran replied casually without looking back, "She just played on her phone all night, and I caught her. That's all."

"Oh..."

Amiya seemed to have a general idea of what happened next.

However...

Amiya glanced at her phone, which she had gotten back, and then at her Lord God.

Sea Creatures don't need sleep, but Amiya does.

Although, just like the first night, Amiya tossed and turned in her sleep...

But she didn't have to work, so she slept until noon.

After washing up, she floated out of the small castle and saw her Lord God sitting there, busy with something in his hands.

Amiya, naturally well-behaved and sensible, didn't dare to disturb him. She simply stood by the side, observing with curiosity for a long time.

Then, she personally witnessed the birth of a planet.

Amiya: "..."

Unlike Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who had previously witnessed Chen Ran hand-crafting a planet and showed great curiosity, Amiya was so shocked her scalp was tingling.

It was the same feeling humans get when they look up at the vastness of the universe and realize how small they are, that sense of powerlessness and despair.

This made Amiya involuntarily take a few steps back, only to nearly twist her ankle.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Ran noticed the little rabbit on the table.

"Hmm?" Chen Ran paused his work for a moment, turned his head to look at Amiya, and couldn't help but laugh, "Little rabbit, why are you wearing Red T's clothes?"

Amiya was not wearing the white dress she had as the Demon King Rabbit, nor any of the skins and outfits Chen Ran had prepared for her.

Instead, Amiya was dressed in an urban chic style, or rather... an office lady outfit?

Chen Ran remembered that he had only customized this style of clothing for Heart of the Corrupted Skadi.

The reason Amiya twisted her ankle when she stepped back earlier was because she was wearing not only the black stockings unique to the office lady outfit but also a pair of high heels.

However, before becoming the Demon King Rabbit, Amiya was a field medic. After becoming the Demon King Rabbit, she went barefoot. When would she have had the chance to wear high heels?

It would be strange if she didn't twist her ankle.

When Amiya heard this, her little face turned red.

Because Amiya also knew that wearing Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's clothes didn't fit her at all.

044. Amiya: Wearing a veil is fine... but something feels off.

"Looking at how thin you are, little rabbit, I can imagine what kind of hardships you went through before."

In the normal timeline, Amiya was doted on by Doctor, Kal'tsit, and others.

But in the Demon King Rabbit timeline, Amiya truly struggled all the way.

In the normal timeline, Amiya's height was only 142cm, but that was because she was only 13 or 14 years old at the time and was still growing.

See, after Amiya was promoted to a medic, her height jumped to 150cm, didn't it?

But the Demon King Rabbit was already an adult, in her twenties, and her body had long since stopped growing.

Yet, look at this Demon King Rabbit now, wearing that office lady outfit. The parts that should be filled out weren't, and the parts that should be perky weren't.

On the contrary, the waist cincher... the Demon King Rabbit's waist was so tightly bound, it looked as if she had been mistreated and starved.

So, Chen Ran stood up and said, "Little rabbit, wait here for me for a moment. I'll be right back."

"Ah... okay...?"

Amiya didn't know what Chen Ran was going to do, so she could only watch blankly as Chen Ran got up, left, and disappeared from her sight.

Feeling a bit reluctant, Amiya still withdrew her gaze and then looked around.

She saw that Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who had been lying there earlier, was now turning her little head and peeking at her with her small eyes.

Seeing this, Amiya's little face turned even redder.

Amiya knew that wearing Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's clothes was not suitable for her, neither in height nor in figure.

In her Lord God's eyes, she probably looked like a child trying on adult clothes... that kind of feeling?

But what could she do? Last night, she had pricked up her ears and eavesdropped, hearing about black stockings, white stockings... and naked feet with chocolate drizzled on them...

So, after thinking about it, Amiya made a gesture towards the distant Heart of the Corrupted Skadi.

I'm wearing black stockings, offering my loyalty to my Lord God—that was probably what Amiya meant.

Seeing this, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi nodded appreciatively, turned her little head back, and continued to pretend to be dead.

Oh, no, she wasn't pretending to be dead. Amiya saw that the screen of the phone placed beside Heart of the Corrupted Skadi had been swiped.

But in any case, Amiya felt relieved.

She didn't want Heart of the Corrupted Skadi to nag her again tonight with "You are disloyal!" and chase her all over the little castle.

So now...

Amiya looked down at her loose-fitting chest...

Should she change it after all?

Thinking this, Amiya looked up, confirmed that her Lord God wasn't back yet, and then floated back to the little castle.

After changing back into her white dress from when she was the Demon King Rabbit and floating out barefoot again—Amiya immediately received a death glare.

This made Amiya retreat into the little castle with a bit of awkwardness and helplessness. She picked and chose, and only after changing into white stockings that were close to her skin tone did she tentatively float out again.

Confirming that she no longer felt the death glare, Amiya then floated back to the table.

She landed lightly, placing her white-stocking-clad feet on the tabletop.

Amiya then waited for her Lord God to return, while curiously examining the unfinished planet model.

Until, after an unknown amount of time—

With a clang, something suddenly dropped, smashing down in front of Amiya. Startled, Amiya quickly looked up.

She saw Chen Ran had returned at some point, bringing back a huge pile of food and drinks.

"Hmm? Little Rabbit, you changed back into your clothes?"

Chen Ran glanced at Amiya and said, "I don't know if it's just my first impression, but I actually think your white dress is the most pleasing to my eyes, Little Rabbit."

"Yes, Lord God," Amiya nodded her head slightly and asked, "And these are...?"

"For you to eat, Little Rabbit," Chen Ran replied. "If it's not enough, I can have the head chef make more for you."

Amiya: "..."

Amiya looked at the pile of snacks surrounding her, then looked up at the 'little cake' that was taller than her entire body...

Amiya felt that the sugar content in this little cake alone... was equivalent to her lifetime intake.

"It's, it's enough!" Amiya quickly said. "I can't possibly finish all of this by myself!"

"If you can't finish it, give it to Red T."

"Uh..."

Amiya subconsciously wanted to say, Lord God, please don't use that tone. It makes that Miss Skadi in red sound like some professional clean-up robot for leftover food...

But as soon as Amiya turned her head, she saw the Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who had been lying around, suddenly lift her little head, looking over with an expression of "Food? Where's the food?"

Amiya: "..."

Alright, Amiya felt her worries were a bit excessive.

Even so, Amiya still asked, "Miss Skadi in red? Would you like to join me for a bite?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Heart of the Corrupted Skadi immediately floated over.
