Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

"So?" Winnie tilted her head, not understanding the meaning of Suika's long speech.

"You're right, as long as you're strong enough, no one will dare to provoke you.

But I hope that great strength is used to protect those who need protection, rather than to bully ordinary people who are already having a hard time.”

Suika said seriously.

Tony and his wife, who were following behind, nodded in agreement after hearing what Suika said.

Winnie nodded, not quite understanding.

Of course, Suixiang doesn't need her to understand now. After all, she is only five or six years old. It is unrealistic to expect a child of this age to understand any profound truths.

Tired of walking in the afternoon, the group found a restaurant by the river that looked well decorated and walked in.

Suika, who walked into the room first, looked around and saw that the room was empty with only one or two seats occupied. She sniffed the air, looked at the time, and then pushed everyone else out before the waiter came over.

"Well, what's wrong? The decoration of your store looks pretty good to me!" Tony asked with some confusion.

"Look at the time now. It's lunchtime. Logically, a store with this kind of decor shouldn't be without people.

As a result, you see, the surrounding shops are not full but at least crowded, but there are only two or three kittens in this shop.

Isn't it strange that it won't be long now?

You know, this is Kavaleriaki, the capital of Casimir, and there are so many tourists during the holidays, why would anyone eat here? "

As she spoke, Suika raised her head and looked towards the door.

Sami style

Then she recalled the smell she smelled when she entered the room, and she almost understood why there were not many people in this store.

"'Sami style', does this place sell Sami food? I remember Sami is not too far from Casimir, so why do people here reject Sami food?

It's not easy for us to come out, and there's very little news from the Sami people outside. It's a very mysterious country. Why don't we try this? Since we can open it here, I don't think it's too bad..."

Tony was a little skeptical. He thought that since he was out for fun, it would be best to see more of the market.

Although Sami is located in the north and difficult to access, if you can learn about this mysterious country through their food, it will be a kind of bragging right away when you return.

Seeing this, Suixiang knew it was not good to continue to stop him, so she said

"How about this? You guys go eat first, and I'll go sit at the ice cream shop over there. I've had the pleasure of learning about Esami's specialties, but I haven't yet developed the courage to eat them."

"Look at what you said. After all, it is a national characteristic. How could it be possible..."

Ten minutes later, the family looked at the Sami specialty called "pickled feather beast" with very ugly faces.

"Father, I think Miss Suika is right. I really can't muster the courage to eat this kind of food..." Anthony said with a sad face.

Winnie was so terrified that she buried her head in her mother's arms, trying to avoid eating the food in this way.

Tony could only look at his wife

"Wife, look..."

"I'm not hungry, you eat..."

Those few simple words pierced Tony's chest like a sword.

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of the Dayan saying, "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes."

Under the gaze of three people (Winnie secretly watched from her mother's arms), he ate a pickled feather beast in one bite with a dying mood.

Then he started chewing it without changing his expression, and from time to time he looked as if he was surprised that it was so delicious.

Anthony was a little bit unbelievable for a moment.

"Is this thing really edible?" He looked at his father and got an affirmative nod.

I remembered that when I was chatting with Suixiang before, she told me that there is a delicacy called stinky tofu in Longmen. It smells pungent, but tastes very delicious.

Seeing my father eating it so happily, could this be the same food as stinky tofu?

With curiosity, he picked up one with his fork and put it into his mouth with courage, then his face changed.

"Wow, ugh..."

As he moved, his father next to him also spat out the pickled feather beast in his mouth.

"Ugh~~~Give me water, give me water quickly..." Tony reached out to his wife for help.

Linda picked up the water cup and hesitated for a moment before picking up the cup next to him and pouring water into the cup before handing it to him.

"For one week, don't even think about kissing me or Winnie..."

……

Faced with the choice of either rinsing his mouth but staying away from his wife and daughter, or enduring the strange smell that went straight to his head, Tony was forced to agree to his wife's unequal treaty.

After dropping the money, they ran out of the store in a panic, never to be seen again in their lives.

“Looks like I’m lucky, I bought each of you a large glass of iced watermelon juice.

Let's change the mood. I saw a music restaurant over there run by a Leithanian. Why don't we go there and try it out?"

After taking the iced watermelon juice handed to them by Suika and taking a big gulp, Tony and his son felt like they had returned to earth from hell.

Although it may sound a bit strange to eat hometown food in a foreign country after traveling all the way here.

But now Tony's family has no desire to pursue the unknown or seek excitement that they have never experienced in other countries.

On the contrary, I miss the familiar food very much.

So when Suixiang made this suggestion, she instantly received all four votes in favor.

Facing the familiar food in front of him, Tony shed tears of regret.

Linda smiled as she recounted what happened between the four of them in the store.

"Oh, since Anthony was deceived by Uncle Tony, why didn't you, sister, fall for it?" Suika asked curiously.

"I've been married to him for so many years, how could I not know what kind of person he is?

If it was really delicious, he wouldn’t have chewed it for so long…”

Linda couldn't help but roll her eyes when this was mentioned.

Chapter 254: Unexpected Person

Anthony, who was standing by, recalled the scene at that time. His mother reached out and grabbed his sister's hand tightly, covering her eyes to prevent her from trying that "delicious" thing even though she was also interested.

However, he watched helplessly as he ate that horrible thing.

He looked at his mother with grief and anger.

“So, will love disappear?”

"No, no, no, because Winnie is going to sleep with me at night, and I don't want her mouth to have that weird smell when she vents..." Linda said calmly after taking a sip of watermelon juice.

"Besides, if you weren't so curious, your father's clumsy trick wouldn't have had a chance to fool you...

Later on, he was almost rolling his eyes because of the smoke he was smoking, but you didn’t notice…”

Linda educates her son in a timely manner.

"What, Winnie sleeps with you, but what about me?" Tony asked after he finished the food in front of him.

Linda glanced at her husband with disdain

"You, go somewhere cooler... No one who has eaten that weird thing is allowed to go to bed, right, dear little Winnie..."

Winnie nodded after hearing what her mother said, which made Tony feel that his little cotton-padded jacket was a little leaky.

After eating a somewhat unauthentically authentic Leitanian meal at Cavalleriacchi, they finally felt alive.

As for what happened before, let it be buried in history.

Even Tony, who hoped to have more things to show off to his colleagues when he returned, planned to forget this incident forever.

Otherwise, when I think about it...ugh.

After dinner, after a short workout, Suixiang saw that it was getting dark and prepared to say goodbye to a few people.

"Sister Suika, will there be a chance for us to meet in the next few days?" Winnie asked, holding Suika's hand.

Suika touched her chin and said

"There's a bar called 'Horror Martin' at the end of Golden Feather Avenue. I hang out there when I have time. You can find me there.

Or, contact me when the time comes!" Suixiang pointed to her cell phone.

Hearing Suika's words, Winnie smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

"Then sister, see you tomorrow!"

After waving her hand and saying "See you tomorrow", Suixiang watched the family leave and then leisurely walked towards the hotel where she was staying.

Sit on the balcony and look out over the arena below.

It was just past dinner time, and the competition in the arena was still in full swing.

While standing on the balcony and looking down, although people look like tiny ants, as long as you have a telescope, it is not a dream to watch the game for free.

For example, Suika did this.

After looking for a while, she picked up a bottle of unfamiliar wine and opened it.

There were a lot of brand new drinks on the table not far away.

Of course, she didn't buy these drinks herself, but found them on the table when she came back in the evening, along with a letter.

The writer of the letter claimed to be the owner of this hotel. He expressed regret for what happened to Suika yesterday. He heard that she liked fine wine, so he sent some good wine over.

There was some ice cubes in the refrigerator not far away for her to drink with.

In this regard, Suixiang expressed great satisfaction.

She didn't care how the hotel owner knew her preferences.

When I was chatting with the people from Terror Martin before, they said that this hotel is a trump card under the Business Federation.

Since the other party was able to get VIP tickets for the first day of the competition hosted by the Chamber of Commerce, he was naturally able to find out from the waiter what kind of food and drinks she ordered the most when she was trapped in that room.

Food is time-sensitive and will spoil easily if left for a long time, but alcohol is different. It can not only represent the Chamber of Commerce’s determination to apologize, but also make the guests feel satisfied.

A small price to pay for the management, keeping guests happy is no problem at all.

Suika, who was watching the game, suddenly saw a knight covered in blood being pressed down from the path towards a vehicle not far away on the other side.

She recognized the knight—it was the Frost Knight that the dead guy had wanted to pick up yesterday.

Yesterday he was a rising star, but today he looks like a dead dog and looks extremely miserable.

Seeing him like this, Suixiang couldn't help but frown, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Well, what do you want to talk to me about so late?"

"Did the Frost Knight encounter any strong enemies in the arena today?"

"Frost Knight, I looked at the schedule and he doesn't have a game today!" A puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.

"So what kind of person is he? Do you know anything about him?"

"I do know a thing or two about this. He's a handsome young man from Ursus in his twenties. He has good talent and trains very hard," said the person on the other end of the phone.

"What about personality?"

"He has a bit of youthful arrogance, but he's a good guy. The instructor at the knight training camp said he embodies the spirit of an ancient knight."

What is the style of ancient chivalry? It is rigid and dogmatic.

In other words, this guy is a very rigid guy.

I think he must be loyal to that man, and that man thinks he has good looks and skills, so he uses this method to make him famous.

But now that the man he was loyal to was dead, he became a masterless knight.

Logically speaking, since that person's family spent a lot of money to support him, they would not give up so easily.

After all, giving up would be equivalent to wasting a lot of money.

So what's going on here?

Suika looked at the blood-stained Frost Knight who was thrown into the car, and then followed him.

The car drove out of the city and stopped on a remote hill.
