Tears of Ishamara
Ishamara explores and fights for the essence of embodiment.

——Item text of SY7 in Arknights.

'Captain, can I ask you a question? What do you think of me and Skadi?'

'...'

"Regarding the question of… 'Am I Skadi or Ishamarra?', the second captain and Shark now have completely different opinions. I want to ask you what you think."

"Every hunter is our blood relative. When the structure of everyone's body is no different from Hai Si, the only thing that determines the identity is the self - you think so, then this body, that consciousness, that she is undoubtedly Skadi, right?"

'What exactly do you want to ask? Do you care about our feelings?'

"In my memory, you never cared how many questions students had, and you always answered them one by one."

'You are not my student... so I ask you to answer my questions first.'

"I want to ask... I've been thinking, I've been thinking, is the reason why Omar doesn't want to accept me the same as your troubles?"

'...'

'Is this a difficult question?'

'No, that's not a difficult question.'

"Then why..."

'Just seeing you think about this kind of thing makes me sick, as I think it does to everyone.'

'……Feel sorry.'

"You hesitated not because of the death of your compatriots, but because you were thinking whether you should say this."

'right. ’

"As a newborn, they are all in this state. The entire group of sea creatures still have a long way to go before they can become human beings."

"Is that your answer? Thank you."

'Do you think this is the answer to your problem?'

'I don't think so, but I know that my presence makes you miserable, and Skadi is urging me to leave.'

"Then go and bother Ghost Shark, and then go find Gloria?"

'I have to get an answer.'

'Don't bother them, I will answer your questions without prejudice.'

'Really?'

'I won't say anything nonsense. First of all, give up your urgency for blood relatives.'

"Blood relatives..."

'Although it is true that many people choose to become a sea heir, that does not represent all. Although I have not had many opportunities to talk to Omer Linton, I am very confident that he does not want to become a sea heir.'

But if I don’t want to be a blood relative, how can I keep him by my side?
In Terra, in the land also called Terra, she once looked at the temporary settlement set aside for the large group of sea creatures in the distance with such annoyance.

There, countless blood relatives who lived on the abyss were sleeping.

They evolved under the guidance of Ishamara and were able to adapt to life on land, and even had room to move towards the sky, but before reaching the alienated rings of Sami, they had to save nutrients and travel long distances, and travel on the routes planned by humans after research, under the escort of deep-sea hunters who were actually on guard.

The Haisi had no objection to this. After all, whether it was individuals who were allowed to have personalities or subordinate units that had neither personality nor intelligence, they all had to obey the orders of the Chusheng.

The core of the new orders has always been the survival and expansion of the group.

As long as this is achieved, individual losses and deaths are insignificant. This inorganic quality of not caring about losses and not even feeling angry is precisely what makes many humans feel disgusted or even horrified.

Even if Ishamara spent more than two months to completely unify the Sea Si and become the only supreme first-born, able to control the entire group, humans' evaluation of this would not change.

Ishamara didn't care about humans' attitudes at all, but the similar appearance always made him think of the individual life that provided him with all the help but always resisted him.

Omer Linton, is the reason he resists himself the same as these humans?

How can I keep him by my side? How can I make him a member of the group, a family member, just like myself?

She doesn't understand.

The captain of Skadi, the cold man who seemed to be particularly knowledgeable about art and romance according to the private rumors of some deep-sea hunters, only answered her questions without offering any corresponding guidance.

It’s not so much that Ulpian is extremely indifferent, but rather that the guidance itself is meaningless.

Because even if Ishamara is the source of Haisi and the highest authority, he should not be able to escape from Haisi's unique way of thinking. In Haisi's way of thinking, giving up the choice of blood relatives is impossible.

Unable to incorporate into Gestalt thinking, unable to truly become a part of the sea, and unable to be truly counted as the same kind, it is impossible to judge the underlying logic of the survival and growth of the tribe, and it goes against the original intention of the development of the entire large group. Ishamara's request should also be stuck, but obviously, the biggest difference between Ishamara and the other few is that his predecessor used himself as nutrients and provided them all to a deep-sea hunter - from that moment, the name of Ishamara was completely replaced.

The result of the deep-sea hunter's memory and personality being preserved in their entirety is that he gained a completely new understanding and perspective.

However, looking at the entire group of deep-sea hunters, it is difficult to pick a second one who can match Skadi's honest and straightforward thinking circuit.

This honesty brought firmness, making it difficult for Ishamara to clarify her self-awareness.

But when Ishamara's self was awakened, this simple way of thinking, which was no different from Haisi's style, would cause the two personalities to influence each other silently. The completely shared memories also aggravated the "condition", and it gradually became unclear who was taking over whose body.

Not to mention the negative impact such a change had on Skadi's interpersonal relationships, Ishamara found a solution through the land culture in Skadi's memory that allowed him to dare to go against his underlying thinking.

Copulation, reproduction, and family relationships formed by blood ties are the most common concepts of family for terrestrial organisms.

This method of reproduction, which seemed extremely inefficient to the sea heirs, was considered extremely feasible by countless sea heirs who had personality thinking and knowledge of land, and was passed unanimously - although the only vote that actually took effect was in the hands of Ishamara, but there was obviously no need to mention this.

So a decision that went against the ancestors, but didn't matter because it was the ancestors who made the decision, was passed. Although there was a plan at that time, Skadi rarely hesitated and asked Ghost Shark for advice, so there was a step-by-step arrangement.

but……

After more than ten days of waiting, the traces of those arrangements became fainter and fainter, and the urgency in the heart of the girl with silver hair and red eyes became more and more unbearable.

He has been waiting since the day he was awakened, and he is still waiting after being resisted. He has been waiting for too long, and finally lost his patience under the nerve-paralyzing liquid brewed by the people on land.

It is worth mentioning that there are many types of wine at this banquet.

Taking into account that everyone comes from all over the world, even from different worlds, the containers on the table include not only wine jars brewed by Shu himself and packaged in a very ancient style, but also various types of wine produced locally in the Federation, including some famous wines that were prepared specifically to get certain special people drunk.

This is the extremely rare picture at the moment:

Hai Si, who once made countless land people and Agor people miserable and hated by his neurotoxins, had his nerves paralyzed and his thinking dulled by the "neurotoxins" brewed by the locals.

I forgot the beginning and the end, but I just wanted to express my demands!

It was said that he attacked in the way of land people, but in fact it was a passionate declaration of love in the style of both sea people and Skadi. Fortunately, Ishamara's habit prevailed and he spoke in a more subtle way.

If Skadi held the handle, she might have an expression of "I want to fight you", and even the determined look could be restored to 70%.

But even if it was Ishamara's affectionate and reserved expression, it still attracted the stare of Akane Shinjo, who had expected it and was still acting in her true colors when she yelled:

"Ha! What is this woman talking about? Get off the little snake! Little snake, why don't you drive her away!"

"...How much did she drink?" Omar was relatively calm. He did not react violently as his girlfriend said. He did not even respond to the other party's words, because he could smell the alcohol that was enough to cover up any other aroma the moment the other party approached him.

Why are you arguing with a drunkard? He didn't say anything because of his girlfriend's face. He just freed his hand from her arms, took the wine glass she put aside and sniffed it.

"Blood-sweeping leaf, demon-killing grass, divine rice brew..." His experience as an illegal part-time worker in a bar gave him the ability to distinguish the ingredients like an expert, and also gave him an especially subtle look at the moment, "This is a special cocktail prepared for the demons. Does anyone else prepare this?"

"That guy Nian wanted to see if he could get drunk," Xi teased Nian from a distance, "and bought several bottles!"

You see, this is why I haven’t put high-energy food on the table…Omer called out to Ling who was not far away: “Come and pull her up.”

Isamara was hugging her too tightly at the moment, and Qian, who was trying to pull her away, couldn't pull at all. Although Omer was confident that he could break free, resisting with brute force was not advisable, as it could easily cause injuries, damage the clothing, and might even lead to accidental physical contact.

"Okay~ Her alcohol tolerance is much worse than I thought." Ling walked closer. The ability called Xiaoyao not only looked vague, but its actual application was also confusing. She didn't do much, but she easily pulled the koala in the sea off Omer.

There was no sign of any force being used, and even each other's collars were not messy.

"I thought the Deep Sea Hunter's perfect physique would also be good at drinking."

"That doesn't mean they live in alcohol." Omar replied silently, hugging Qian gently, patting her back, comforting his "humiliated" girlfriend, but he couldn't help but glance at Cherenina who remained expressionless.

Compared to Qian's restraint, which was far from the red temperature stage, let alone a defensive reaction, his girlfriend's silence concerned him more, especially since she avoided his gaze a little at the moment.

Reverse it!
This situation shouldn't be like this: the man is so stimulated by the girl's plump body pressed completely against his body and her whispers of love that his heart is beating non-stop, and he avoids and feels ashamed when facing his girlfriend's gaze, unable to look her in the eye.

How come I can hold it together when I put it here, but she can't?

When he thought of this, a strange conclusion came to his mind. While he continued to pat Qian's back, he glanced at the backs of Ling and Isamara who were walking towards the guest room, and then looked at Beatrix and Holhaiya who were sitting at the two empty tables.

Even the girls at the other two tables.

There were also various types of alcohol containers placed in front of everyone.

And those eyes that all seemed to be a little off.

He felt like giving himself a slap in the face in the afternoon.

It is human nature to run away!

There's nothing wrong with running now!
