Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"Suika, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Just as she was walking in the dim passage, a voice suddenly came from the side.

She shuddered with fear.

I raised my fist and looked over, and found that it was Blade Master.

Because the color of the other person's clothes was not obvious under the dim light, she missed it.

"Why are you here?" Since he was a human, Suixiang was not afraid. She looked at Blade Master before asking.

"Um, I just finished reading a bunch of reports and I'm a little hungry. I'm going to the kitchen to get something to eat. Wanna join me?"

Blade Master pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said.

After hearing what the other person said, Suixiang touched her stomach. She hadn't eaten dinner and had been "working" until now, so she was indeed a little hungry.

"elbow!"

Suika said without hesitation.

As for the issue of gaining weight by eating late at night, Suixiang is not worried at all. After all, as a monster, her figure is given by herself.

I really want to grow up to be like Xingxiong and that's it. I look like this just for my personal preference.

After all, compared to a 1.8-meter-tall queen, a 1.3-meter-tall kid is easier to be ignored.

It also suits the behavior of Suika's old coins better.

The reason is very simple, because who would be wary of a child when seeing her for the first time?

Chapter 480 Preparations before leaving

Led by Blade Master, the two of them arrived at the kitchen door as if they were familiar with the place.

However, the kitchen door was tightly closed at this time, and there was a very solid iron lock on it.

"Do you need me to tear it apart?" Suika asked, pointing at the iron lock.

Blade Master shook his head

“Don’t be so rude ma’am, we’re here to eat, not to rob, and this is Rhodes Island’s property.

If it's damaged and I report it to Amiya, I won't be able to open it if I get a new one."

After saying that, Dao Ke Ta took out a key and opened the kitchen door with ease.

After sneaking in, under the gaze of Suixiang, the swordsman walked to a kettle not far away, picked up the kettle, filled it with water and boiled it next to it.

After sitting down, he found that Suika didn't move.

"Don't you know where the food is? How about eating instant noodles with me?"

Blade Master opened a small cabinet next to him, which was filled with a lot of instant noodles.

But Blade Master just took out the instant noodles and didn't look for a bowl.

"You don't want to put instant noodles in your mouth and then pour hot water into your mouth, do you?"

"Well, you actually know this way of eating it!" Dao Keta's eyes lit up, thinking he had found a like-minded friend.

Suixiang took a step back and shook her head, indicating that she couldn't learn this fast-food method and didn't want to learn it at all.

Under Dao Keta's regretful gaze, she took a frying pan, then opened the refrigerator and took out two feather beast eggs and a small piece of butter.

Two minutes later, she handed a fried egg to Dao Keta, then added water to the pot and started cooking noodles.

On the other side, Blade Master didn't hesitate and opened the instant noodle bag after his water boiled...

"Hiccup~ Suika, you're really good at making fried eggs!"

The noodles on Cuixiang's side had just been cooked, and Blade Master had already finished his "dinner".

"Of course. When you're out and about, you need to have some cooking skills. Otherwise, you'll just be eating bread every day and eventually starve to death."

Suika glanced at the door, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

"Then I'll go back first, lest Kal'tsit finds out that I'm not in the office..."

Blade Master rubbed his neck, thinking of something bad.

"Oh, let's go now... or you can stay a little longer, since you can't leave anyway."

Suixiang calmly took out a bowl and poured her instant noodles into it.

"Ah?" Blademaster felt a chill on his back after hearing Suika's words.

He looked towards the door with a stiff neck, and the appearance of the familiar green figure finally made his heart die.

"Would you like some midnight snack, Dr. Kelsey?"

Suixiang looked calm as she looked at Kal'tsit who walked out from the shadows outside the door.

Kal'tsit's emotions were a little complicated at this time.

She arranged it. During this period, when Hong, the Sweep member who was responsible for guarding Dao Ke Ta at night, told her that Dao Ke Ta had sneaked out again at night, she was very calm. After all, it was not the first or second time that the other party had sneaked into the kitchen to eat at night.

Considering the heavy workload, it is normal for him to need to eat something at night to replenish his energy.

After all, you can't let the camel run all the time and not let it eat grass.

However, after hearing the news that Blade Master and Suika had met, she became a little uneasy.

Because in her opinion, even if Suika is not one of those people, she knows quite a lot of secrets.

She couldn't guarantee whether the "amnesiac" Blade Master would reach any cooperation with her.

That's why I took the initiative to come here.

Her original plan was to hide outside the door and listen to what the two were talking about, but she didn't expect that Suika's perception was more acute than she expected.

Less than ten seconds after I arrived here, the other party discovered my tracks.

Now that her whereabouts had been revealed, she simply stopped hiding her presence.

Looking at Kal'tsit walking in with a dark face, Blademaster subconsciously covered his neck.

Kal'tsit said nothing, looking at the kettle not far away and the instant noodle bag that had fallen beside it...

"There are a lot of empty bowls in the kitchen. I don't mind if you want to eat if you're hungry, but please eat in a normal way.

I don’t want to see this happen again.”

After saying that, she looked at Suika who was eating noodles.

"Your skill in frying eggs is good, but the butter produced in Victoria is too strong and not suitable. Next time, you can consider the ones produced in Ursus or Leithania."

Suika nodded. "The butter does have a bit of an overpowering flavor, but I don't know much about butter. As long as it's edible, that's fine."

"Go back to work after you finish eating." Kal'tsit glanced at Blademaster who was standing next to her and trying to pretend to be a wooden man, then left the kitchen without looking back.

"Then I'll be leaving first. After you finish eating, remember to turn off the lights and lock the door when you go out." After hearing Kal'tsit's words, Blademaster felt as if he had been pardoned. After saying a few words to Suika, he ran out of the kitchen.

The next morning, Suixiang slept until after ten o'clock.

I went outside yawning and wandered around aimlessly for the whole morning.

After being caught by Xingxiong in the afternoon, I was forced to accompany him for exercise again, and then write stories in the evening.

This repeated for a week.

"You said you were leaving in two days. Didn't you say you would leave in half a month?" When Xingxiong heard that Suixiang was leaving, he stopped what he was doing.

"I can't help it. I calculated the time. If I leave too late, I won't have enough time to get to Xiosta for the concert in the summer.

After all, this trip passes through Rembilt, and the road from Iberia to Xiosta is not close.

I have to leave myself enough time to deal with any unexpected situations that may arise.”

Suika found a very suitable excuse.

"That's okay..."

Xingxiong knew that Suika was telling the truth, so she didn't try to keep her.

It was Raidian who found her after learning the news.

"You said you've finished writing the story?" Raidian showed a surprised expression when he heard Suika's words.

"Well, aren't you here to urge the manuscript?" Suixiang looked shocked.

"Requesting for submission? Of course not..." Raidian smiled and stated his purpose.

It turned out that the children loved Suika's fairy tale storytelling session last time. When Raidian learned that Suika was about to leave Rhodes Island, he came to her and hoped that she could go to the school to hold another storytelling session.

After all, many children have a deep memory of the previous experience and hope that Suika can come again.

Suixiang thought about it and agreed.

Anyway, I don’t need to prepare anything, and the story is already written, so I might as well tell it again and see if there are any omissions or mistakes.

She was startled when she came to the classroom.

The small classroom was filled with children of all ages.

Suika also saw Ifrit among them.

The other person waved to him in the crowd.

Suixiang picked up the storybook she had written, opened it, and began to tell the story slowly.

The wonderful stories one after another drew bursts of exclamations from the children, and finally two days later...

Suika stood on the podium and looked at the time

"I believe everyone knows that I'll be leaving Rhode Island soon. Before I go, let me tell you one last story, a story about inheritance. The story is called "The Rural Teacher"..."

Chapter 481: Terra still has more good people

A few days later, Amiya came to school to study with the children.

Because the story of "The Rural Teacher" is very meaningful, Lena told it to Amiya.

Amiya also found it very interesting. The idea that there were people living among the stars in the sky was a common setting in fairy tales, so she didn't care.

Moreover, this story is very compatible with Rhodes Island. After all, Rhodes Island is also a kind of heritage.

People who trusted and believed in Theresa's ideas continued to follow the path she firmly believed in after her death.

Amiya also liked this story.

When Amiya was chatting with Kal'tsit in the evening, she remembered this story and told it to her.

Originally, Amiya thought that Kal'tsit would think it was a very good story as she did, but she didn't expect to see the other person's ashen face after she finished telling the story.

Amiya swore that this was the first time she had ever seen Kal'tsit look like that in her life.

Fear, panic, anxiety, anger, shock...

She has felt and seen almost all the negative emotions.

"Dr. Kal'tsit?" Amiya was a little scared. She didn't expect that Kal'tsit, who was usually very calm and composed and would not be surprised even if the sky fell.

Even MON3TR ran out of her body at some point and huddled in the corner, shivering.

"Where did you hear this story?" Kal'tsit looked at Amiya.

"It's about school... Wasn't Suika telling stories to the children there every day before she left Rhodes Island? This is one of them. What's wrong with this story?"

Amiya thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find anything wrong with the story.

So I could only answer cautiously.

"Suixiang...where is she!" Kal'tsit was finally sure that Suixiang was no ordinary person.

"Hmm...according to the walking speed, we should be almost at REM Billiton...

Should we send someone after them?" Amiya asked cautiously.

……

Kelsey was silent for a long time before she raised her head.

"Forget it, that's not necessary... Let's just leave it at that..." Amiya saw fatigue and confusion in Kal'tsit's eyes.

That somewhat self-destructive look made Amiya couldn't help but reach out and hug the other person.

"It's okay, Amiya.
