"Wait a minute, Theresa, I'm a bit busy here. Please wait a moment while I deal with the American cockroaches before I open the door for you."
Theresa, standing outside the door, paused for a moment before nodding. "I'm bringing your next companion, Suri. Remember to hurry."
"Don't worry, it definitely won't take long."
"How dare you? This is Princess Theresa! And who is the American cockroach?!" Vishdel couldn't help but explode.
But Suri wasn't worried at all. He wasn't a Sarkaz and couldn't understand Theresa's leadership over the Sarkaz, or what the Demon King's identity meant to the Sarkaz. Although Suri knew, he didn't care.
“So what? I’ll do whatever I want in Egypt.” With that, Suri pulled out his phone and showed it to Vishdel.
"Look at this. Your knowledge seems to prevent you from understanding what an American cockroach is. I'll show you the real thing."
On Suri's phone, Vishdel saw a large cockroach and heard Suri's mocking voice coming from the phone:
Don't you think you look a lot like this giant cockroach?
Then the accompanying picture changed to a comparison of Vishdel and a giant cockroach side by side.
"...Don't even think about coming down, I'm going to blow the door open."
Vishdale looked at the comparison photos on Suri's phone, wanting to reach out and snatch the phone away and smash it to the ground, when she heard Suri whisper in her ear:
"There's information on my phone that's needed for the operation later. I don't care about the data, but if it gets damaged, it could cause significant damage to the Tower of Babel. Theresa would be very upset, wouldn't she?"
Vishdale immediately stopped, and Suri took the opportunity to reclaim the phone from his system space.
Vishdale couldn't resist taking out explosives from his pocket.
"You really want to embarrass me?" Before Vishdel could even light the explosives and throw them against the door, Suri had already stored them in her system space.
"Don't even think about it, I won't give you the chance to blow this door open."
Looking at the explosives that had suddenly disappeared from his hand, Vishdel paused for a moment, then looked towards the door and suddenly punched the automatic door, making a muffled sound.
The noise was heard even by Theresa outside and by the team members chosen by Suri who were with her.
Outcast immediately placed his hand on the revolver at his waist, watching the door warily. This Sarkaz from Laterano was now on Theresa's side.
Prince Kazdel: 307's great strength is like this.
"Don't be nervous, Outcast, let me ask what happened."
Theresa calmed the wary Outcast down. The old lady shrugged and adjusted her cowboy hat, but this time she didn't lean against the wall again. Instead, she stood there, alert for any possible developments.
Suri and Vishdel exchanged glances in the room, and Suri spoke first:
“I’ll open the door when Vishdale’s episode stops; she’s got her brain caught in the door.”
"I didn't, Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense!"
The argument between Suri and Vishdel was overheard by people outside the door. Outcast, along with Ace and Scout who had come with him, exchanged bewildered glances.
"Was our team leader one of them?"
Neither of them seems very reliable.
Theresa said with a hint of helplessness, "Although Suri is a bit willful, his abilities are beyond doubt."
However, even Theresa felt that the current situation was somewhat inappropriate.
By sheer coincidence, this white demon king reached out and used his own strength to forcefully pry open the automatic door.
Accompanied by the crackling noise of the electrical control mechanism being pried open, Suri was startled and stared wide-eyed at Theresa, who pushed open the door and walked in:
"Wow, I didn't expect you to do that."
Theresa stared at Vishdel and Suri, who was perched on Vishdel's shoulders, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Theresa walked into the room, and Outcast and the others followed her in, where they saw the rather odd combination of Suri and Vishdel.
"It's nothing, Your Highness. I just noticed that Suri seems to be very light; I could lift him up with one hand."
As she spoke, Vishdale deliberately showed off her strength.
Su Rui grabbed her by the corner and shook her irritably: "Put me down right now!"
At this moment, in front of Theresa, Vishdel did not dare to be presumptuous. He obediently raised his hand, grabbed Suri's waist, and then put Suri on the ground from her shoulder.
Once on the ground, Su Rui coughed lightly to ease her embarrassment, glanced at the team she had chosen, and nodded to them:
"Next, let me introduce our mission..."
As Su Rui began to speak, the projector on the conference room screen lit up, the lights automatically turned off, and Su Rui displayed the terrain map of the first mission objective from all sides, and gave a brief explanation.
"This is our plan. How much time do you need to prepare? We'll depart no later than tomorrow."
The others had no objections and nodded in agreement after hearing Su Rui's detailed plan and more detailed intelligence.
Only Outcast, the Sakorta, looked Suri up and down with some suspicion: "I have a feeling I recognize you. Maybe we've met before?"
"I've definitely never seen him before, but I do know Sakorta quite well. Maybe we can talk about him later."
Suri nodded to Outcast, and after receiving a response, made a decision:
"Then we'll set off tonight. You can go and prepare. Outcast, don't worry about the concealment issue, I'll take care of that."
As Su Rui spoke, he waved to his men: "Then, we'll meet here again tonight. You can go and make your preparations."
After Su Rui explained the mission, the team members had no further questions. They stood up, greeted each other, and then turned and left the meeting room.
Vishdel glanced at Suri, seemingly wanting to say something, but Theresa smiled and stood behind Suri, gently pressing his shoulder.
"Suri, since we don't have any plans for the rest of the time, how about I show you around the Tower of Babel? Is there anything else in Vishdel?"
Faced with Theresa's smile, Vishdel was speechless for a moment, nodded somewhat awkwardly, and forced a smile in return.
"It's nothing, I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now~"
Vishdel left looking somewhat lost, and even Suri could tell that she had something left unsaid.
As the automatic door gradually closed, Suri leaned her head back against Theresa's chest. Since she was already so close, and the penguin had no sense of boundaries and put his hand on her shoulder, what was wrong with letting her lean on him for a bit?
“Vishdel seems to have something to say. Your behavior just now was a bit cold-hearted, Your Highness Theresa.”
Suri emphasized her pronunciation and teased Theresa, but received no response. Theresa simply smiled and reached out to pinch Suri's cheek.
Even though Suri possesses a scanning vision, which the doctor describes as exceptional intelligence gathering, Theresa has abilities Suri lacks, such as mind reading.
Although Suri's inner thoughts and memories are completely invisible to Theresa, figuring out what Vishdel is thinking is still quite easy.
"Vishdel isn't thinking about me, maybe he's thinking about you?"
"She can't possibly be interested in someone she just had an argument with and almost came to blows with, can she?"
Suri didn't argue with Theresa, but instead stood up straight: "Alright, what are we going to do next?"
"I have something I'd like to ask you for help with, Su Rui."
As Theresa said this, she pulled Suri along to the corridor of Rhodes Island.
Rhodes Island was only recently brought back from Rembitox, but Suri arrived here a little later; Rhodes Island was already here when she arrived.
However, the Rhodes Island landships that Babel Tower has just acquired still have many problems.
The circuitry was difficult to understand, and many parts of it needed repair, including the location of the Rhodes Island automatic door that Theresa had brought Suri to.
"So, when you said you needed help, you meant this automatic door with a malfunctioning circuit?"
Suri looked at Theresa with some doubt: "First of all, of course I can solve this problem. Secondly, isn't someone already solving it?"
As Suri spoke, she and Theresa looked at the black-haired blood demon who was still fiddling with the circuitry. Her name was Kroos, and according to the information Suri had gathered, she was a blood demon with almost no combat power.
"Kroos isn't very familiar with Rhodes Island's circuitry either, so I thought it would be great if I could get your help, Suri. I'll help out too."
Theresa smiled and gently pushed Suri towards Kroos, greeting her:
"Kroos, I've brought some help."
"Hmm? Your Highness! I can manage on my own, just wait a little longer..."
Prince of Kazdel: A flower blooming from 308 Originium?!
Suri glanced at Kroos, who was still stubbornly arguing, and couldn't help but purse her lips:
"Come on, you've been staring at that Denoru node for half an hour and still haven't come up with a solution."
"How did you know?" Kroos looked surprised, then turned her head and saw Suri, pausing for a moment before a blush crept onto her cheeks.
Then, Kroos turned her gaze to Theresa: "Your Highness, is this the helper you were talking about? Although he seems a bit arrogant, I will help him become a qualified engineer!"
"Thank you, but I have no intention of becoming an engineer."
As Su Rui spoke, he came to Kroos's side. Just as Kroos stood there blankly, looking at Su Rui with a slightly flushed face, not knowing what to do, Su Rui reached out and put his hand on Kroos's shoulder.
"Yes, is there something you need?" Kroos stammered as she looked at the handsome young man named Suri in front of her, glancing nervously at Theresa beside her, still unable to suppress her excitement.
Then, Suri gently pushed Kroos aside.
Perhaps because Kroos was somewhat distracted at the moment, or perhaps because of a lack of training, in any case, moving Kroos away did not require much effort from Suri.
Then, to Kroos's astonishment, Suri sat down to examine the circuit structure, manipulated it with tools for a few moments, and reassembled the circuit that Kroos had disassembled. She then stood up and knocked on the automatic door.
"Alright, the door is fixed now... I'll send you a reference book later. After reading it, you should be able to solve most of Rhodes Island's problems."
Then Suri turned her gaze back to Theresa, urging her to hurry to the next place.
Theresa glanced at Kroos, who was looking at Suri with great anticipation, and smiled apologetically at her:
"I'm sorry, Kroos, Suri and I have some things to do next, so we won't bother you any longer."
"Ahaha, it's alright, Your Highness and Su Rui, please take care~"
Kroos's eyes betrayed her undisguised frustration, but she still forced a smile as she said goodbye to Suri and Theresa.
"There will be many more opportunities to spend time with Suri in the future, so don't worry, Kroos," Theresa gently comforted Kroos.
Suri glanced at Kroos's pitiful look and said, "I've sent the information to your personal terminal. Remember to check it, and then you can fix these problems on Rhodes Island in time. Or if you prefer to learn while fixing them, the catalog is very detailed."
After greeting Kroos, Theresa led Suri away from Kroos and continued along the corridor of Rhodes Island.
However, Theresa didn't seem to intend to take Suri to meet anyone next. Instead, she took Suri to a desolate place where there were hardly any people.
"...You seem to have something to say."
Suri looked around. This desolate, empty, and atmospheric place was usually used in movies for playing duos or having heart-to-heart talks, where one of the two would die, or both would die.
While there are instances where both individuals survive, the forced "dumpling-making" plot is sometimes not very interesting.
So Suri focused her attention on Theresa, waiting for her to speak.
“Suri, you and the Doctor are both from the previous civilization, right? Kal'tsit and the Doctor have both told me some information. The Doctor is special, and Suri, your existence is even more special.”
“I’m not surprised by this.” Suri nodded, leaning against a large rock, looking at Theresa, who had her back to him. Her white dress was beautiful and suited Theresa’s gentle personality.
"After all, you possess the crown that originally belonged to Kal'tsit. Unfortunately, you have taken away a portion of its power, but what truly belongs to Kal'tsit cannot be taken away."
"Are you hostile towards me, Suri? Yes, you are, you and Kal'tsit are so close, but please believe me, I have my reasons for doing this."
As Theresa spoke, she turned her head slightly to the side. Unfortunately, from this angle, she couldn't see Suri, but Suri could see her cheek.
“I convinced Kal'tsit to be my friend and my partner, so I thought, maybe I can convince you too? I want to make this world a better place... so I want to invite you to truly embark on the same path as me.”
“Your idea is good, but to be honest, I’m not sure if I can help you.”
Su Rui shrugged. After all, his physical body might disappear at any time, and even if he agreed, he might not be able to help much.
Although she didn't make any boastful claims, Suri's attitude at least showed Theresa that her eyes lit up, but she still kept her back to Suri, only saying in a surprised tone:
"So, Su Rui, you're willing to help?"
"Yes, I'm willing to help." Anyway, I definitely won't let humans suffer any losses.
Suri also has her own little plan. Although she doesn't know if it will conflict with Precys' or the Doctor's plans, if they fail, then Suri will have to start her own show.
As for now, as long as there is no conflict of interest, Su Rui doesn't mind helping out a little.
"In that case, I have a gift I'd like to give to Su Rui."
Theresa's tone sounded very happy, even like the joy of a girl experiencing her first love.
Suri couldn't help but raise her head curiously and look at Theresa.
Then, Suri sensed something was wrong. The surrounding Originium seemed to have changed, so much so that it didn't require scanning to observe.
