Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

After drinking it, Chen's mind suddenly lit up and she realized something was wrong, but before she could speak, she heard Suika continue to say

"Come on, come on, after one drink there's another... We won't leave until we're drunk tonight."

The next second, her thoughts were taken away by the wine bowl in front of her...

The next morning, Ibuki Suika, who woke up first, looked at Hoshiguma lying on the ground and Chen lying next to the toilet, and a chill rose in her heart.

At this time, she had already remembered what happened last night.

Thinking that the two abilities he used subconsciously actually made the two police officers drink so much that they vomited all over the place, he felt that his future was bleak.

This shouldn't be considered an assault on a police officer...

Feeling that they were about to wake up, she jumped onto the bed in two steps and wrapped herself tightly with the quilt.

Chapter 14: A drunk Sir is lame!

Outside the house, the two people who gradually woke up looked at the mess on the ground with a bit of confusion on their faces.

Chen rubbed his brows. Although the wine that Suika poured out from Ibuki's gourd would not cause a headache the next day due to a hangover, she was still a little confused after drinking a lot of wine last night.

Hearing her footsteps, Xingxiong, who was sitting on the ground, raised his head and looked at her blankly.

"What happened to us?"

Xingxiong rubbed his forehead, not knowing why he was sleeping on the floor.

Chen sat down on the sofa, shook his head, and tried to wake himself up.

"have no idea…

Let me think...

Last night, after get off work, I came back with you and wanted to meet the little girl named Ibuki Suika.

You came into the house and found her drunk, then you woke her up, and then… well, I can’t remember.”

Because what happened afterwards was a blur, Chen started to deduce from the very beginning, but after entering the house, she felt as if she had lost her memory.

"I seem to have some recollection... I woke Suika up, and she said something, and then the room changed and someone started singing...

Then...hiss, I kept drinking...

Why would you and I drink in this situation..."

Xingxiong finally came to her senses after resting for half a day, and she also felt something was wrong.

A lot of strange places suddenly appeared in my house, but I was not on guard at all, and I kept drinking under someone's whispers.

"Suika... that voice urging people to drink is Suika!"

Xingxiong shook his head left and right and didn't see Suixiang, then looked towards the dormitory. After opening the door, he saw a little kid who buried his head in the quilt and tried to be a turtle.

Ten minutes later, Suika was carried outside by two people. Xingxiong opened his eyes wide and tried to look fierce.

"Speak now, confess and you will be treated leniently, resist and you will be treated severely!"

"If you confess, you will be given leniency and life imprisonment. If you resist, you will be punished severely and go home for the New Year..." Suixiang muttered.

"What are you mumbling about, little brat!" Xingxiong's eyes widened even more.

"Sister Xingxiong, you stink...why don't you go take a shower first..."

Suika tried to stall for time.

Xingxiong sniffed himself. He had vomited all over the floor last night and had only cleaned up a little before waking up the kid. Now there was still a strange smell in the room.

"Let her wash, we can just take turns watching her." Chen looked cautiously at Suixiang who was sitting on the sofa and trying hard to look harmless, and said softly to Xingxiong.

Just like Suika said, both of them smelled like they were drunk, which was very unpleasant.

Xingxiong nodded helplessly and looked at Suixiang, "You better do it well first!"

"Sister Xingxiong, hurry up, I have to deliver a letter later!" Suixiang tried to use work to escape.

Another half an hour passed, and after cleaning and changing into new clothes, the two sat at the table, one on each side, while Suika sat opposite with her eyes wide open and an innocent look on her face.

"Tell me, what happened last night!" Xingxiong tapped the pen in his hand and said in an interrogative tone.

"Um, I said it was just a beautiful accident, okay?" The wine in Ibuki's bowl was just wine. At most, it was more intoxicating, but it didn't have any extra functions, so Suika couldn't expect the two of them to forget what happened last night.

"Don't talk about these nonsense, just tell me what happened last night and why we were like that!" Xingxiong felt that he couldn't be too polite to the kid in front of him.

"Oh, okay!" Suixiang pretended to be sad, and then, under the gaze of the two, she took off the three chains on her belt with three clicks.

"Huh? This thing can be taken off?" Chen said in surprise, because she remembered that night she had used her knife to chop but didn't leave any marks on the chain, and the other party had not taken the chain off when he was sleeping.

"Of course, it's detachable." As she said this, Suika tied the iron chain with a square at the end to the end of her long hair as a hair tie.

"Ahem, be serious, we are asking questions!" Chen reacted after being interrupted and coughed twice embarrassedly.

"These are the three chains... The person who gave them to me said they were called spell units." As she spoke, Suika took off the remaining two chains and hung them on her left and right hands respectively.

"What, a spellcasting unit!" Chen stood up in surprise and took the chain that Suixiang handed to him and began to observe it.

Although it looked very different from the magic unit she remembered learning at the Guard School in Victoria, she saw many strange symbols on the circular terminal.

If this thing is really a spell-casting unit, then these symbols are most likely the corresponding runes.

"What are the uses of these spellcasting units?" After calming down, Chen sat back in his seat and looked into Suixiang's eyes and asked.

"Didn't you meet last night?" Suixiang blinked with a puzzled expression.

"Tell me more specifically?" Chen and Xingxiong looked at each other, and then Chen, who knew more about the situation, asked.

"This ball can keep the Ibuki gourd filled with wine at any time... If you ask what the Ibuki gourd is, this is it!" Suika took out the wine gourd.

"Then this block can allow everyone to have a banquet together, so that there will be lots of delicious food." Suixiang put the end used as a hairband on the table and said seriously.

"Finally, there's this triangular cone. It allows me to treat people to drinks without them being able to refuse."

???

After listening to Suixiang's introduction, Chen and Xingxiong were full of questions.

Xingxiong asked Chen in a low voice

"Is this what a spellcasting unit is?"

Chen shook his head

"How do you prove that what you say is true?"

"How about another party?" Suixiang asked cautiously.

As for whether she lied or not, she did lie. Hosting banquets and persuading people to drink were her own abilities, not the spells granted by these chains.

Ibuki Hyōgo can even produce its own wine.

But Chen and Xingxiong are not professional sorcerers, and neither of them has a deep understanding of the spell-casting unit, so they cannot detect the problem inside.

The key point is that what happened last night was still fresh in their minds. When Suika suggested having another party, the two of them shook their heads at the same time to express their refusal.

After all, if he gets drunk again, his reputation in the Guards Bureau will probably be ruined.

For example, now, looking at the clock hand pointing to nine o'clock, the two of them were already late today before they even left the house.

If I get drunk again in the afternoon, I’m afraid I might lose this police uniform.

"Okay, I will ask professionals about the truth of your situation. You need to promise me that you are not allowed to use these spells casually outside!" Xingxiong was worried that Suixiang would cause trouble by using spells outside, so he reminded her emphatically.

Chapter 15 Being late or leaving early is unacceptable

It was unclear whether what was said was true or not, but the two of them didn't have time to figure it out.

After packing up my things, I left.

Suixiang calmly put on her small backpack and prepared to go out.

When she walked to the door, she saw the letters in the backpack and slapped her forehead. There was a letter in it for a family member who went out early and came back late. She originally said she would deliver it to the person in the evening, but she was woken up by the noise and got angry.

I had a party with Chen and Xingxiong all night, and as a result, the letter was not delivered.

She sighed, tightened her backpack, and headed towards the post office.

When she passed by the door of that house, she suddenly found that the door was open.

He hurried over in two steps.

After knocking on the door gently, a middle-aged man with a tired face walked over.

"What's up little girl?"

Although he looked very old and his face was full of fatigue, he habitually gave a professional smile before speaking, and then briefly adjusted his clothes. In addition, he spoke very politely. Suika felt that this person was either a public relations or a salesperson.

Only people in these two positions will subconsciously make these movements when talking to others in order to give the best impression.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Li Lei?"

"Yes, that's me."

"Here is a letter from Ms. Han Meimei, please check it."

Suika took out the letter she forgot to give yesterday and handed it over.

When the man heard the name from Suika's mouth, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face. He then shook his head as if to throw something away before taking the letter.

Just as Suika was about to leave, he called out to her.

Then he took out a few crumpled Longmen coins from his bag.

"Thank you for the good news this morning. It's just a small token of my appreciation."

Suika nodded and took the money and said

"Thank you sir, have a nice day."

After walking out the door, Suixiang felt a lot more relaxed.

I looked at the letters in the bag and found that only the letter to the resident who had moved out of Longmen was left. The others had been successfully delivered to their destinations.

Next, she needed to take the letter that Grandma Wang wanted to send to the post office, and after sending it, she would go and see if there were any new letters that needed to be brought back.

Since I had been there once, I was very familiar with the route the second time.

When she walked out of the letter distribution area behind the post office, there were a few new letters in her bag.

"La la la, la la la, I'm a little expert in delivering mail, running all over the streets in the wind and rain..."

As she walked down the block, Suika hummed a song, feeling quite happy.

On the other side, Chen and Xingxiong came to the Guard Bureau and saw Shi Huaiya standing at the door. The other party first laughed at Chen for being late, and then asked

"How come you two are late at the same time? That's rare!

Sniff...wait, are you guys drinking?"

Little Tiger's face changed. She was worried because the two were late, but it turned out to be because of drinking. She found it hard to accept for a moment. It turned out that dancing for three people was too difficult.

When Xingxiong heard about drinking, he felt a headache when he thought of last night.

"Don't mention it… We need to see Nine for something, she's in the office, right?"

"Of course..." Thinking that these two people secretly went out to drink without him, the little tiger was very unhappy. He snorted and turned and walked into the house.

"Is there something wrong with her?" Chen was puzzled as to why Shi Huaiya was acting like a psychopath, jumping around in panic.

The straight girl, Iron T Xingxiong of the Guard Bureau shrugged her shoulders. She knew nothing about such things.

Thinking of Suika's new information, the two put their proud little tiger's emotions aside and went straight to find Jiu.

Jiu, who was in the office, saw Chen and Xingxiong coming together and showed a rare teasing smile.

"Our Officer Chen seems to be late for the first time! And Officer Xingxiong, according to my records, you have basically never been late."

"Don't laugh at us, Nine...it's like this."

Chen responded to Jiu's joke helplessly before explaining why the two of them arrived at the Guard Bureau so late and why there was a faint smell of alcohol on them.

After listening to Chen's introduction, Jiu sat up straight

"So, that girl's chains aren't simple chains, but spellcasting units?

Are you sure?"

Chen nodded and then shook his head

"To be honest, I'm not sure, but the chain is indeed made of a very special material. I once used a standard long sword to chop it, but the sword was bent, and the chain didn't even leave a scratch.
