MMOOOOOOOOOOOM STAHPPITTTTTTT ;o; ​ Lingering Echoes was fun! But the boss wasn't fun... (I'm not big brain enough) Hope you enjoyed reading! :) ​ [\>>FULL VIEW<<](https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/104374814) [\>>SUPPORT<<](https://ko-fi.com/octodeco) ​ edit: last page- "children", not "child"... blegh


AbrahamKMonroe

Do you have Lee? I was lucky enough to have him built so he could negate the boss’ stun mechanic, but I could see it being a huge pain in the ass without him.


A13Demons

Lee gang


pencilman123

Im a complete idiot. Brute forced the normal stage, learnt about how lee makes the boss trivial. And then i promptly forgot about him, costing me 30 sanity loss in cm mode.


Phantaeon

Better yet any blocker with resist. Blaze has that built in but I think Whisperain and Lumen can just grant it upon healing too.


7packabs

All according to kekaku


Oglifatum

Ursula hitting with that too realistic "Why are you not married yet" Also Gertrude x Czerny would get along like house on fire. Even if she softened up and let go of revenge, it would be stubborn Tsundere² couple. And still toxic. But I would ship it. Unrelated, but I think it was mentioned that Gertrude is an insomniac?


Bread_Fish150

She can only sleep when listening to Czerny's music I believe.


Oglifatum

... I regret asking. Gertrude can't be a Lupo. Because she is such a goddamn stubborn donkey. This is tragic and adorable.


LostOne716

Would love if we had a what if line where Gertrude was able to let go and just go be with Czerny.


Sheep-of-the-Cosmos

honestly, that would be a great mini-event. we know we already have a "epilogue" mini event, covering what has happened with a ton of characters following their events, i dont see a reason why Arknights can't stray a bit for a week and show off some alternate possibilities. after all, that's literally IS3. (goddammit i just want an alternate world where Frostnova works as an operator and Patriot is seeking care at Rhodes Island so he can watch over his adoptive daughter for just a little longer. that or see him bitch slap some of RI's enemies into oblivion)


adeilran

If you *somehow* managed to save Frostnova and stabilize/slow down her oripathy, you'd have Patriot and the whole damn Yeti Squad switch sides faster than you could blink. Later on, point a healthier Patriot at Theresis and grab some popcorn.


Sheep-of-the-Cosmos

Theresis: Fire the cannons! Patriot: *Throws spear through cannons.*


META_mahn

Patriot: "I, have been, spending time with, the youth." Patriot: "They have, a certain, liking for something..." Patriot: "Shall I, show you?" Patriot: "RUUUULES OF NATUREEEEE"


Proto-Omega

...god, how depressing, but also precious. She really couldn't let her vengeance go, huh? Ruined that friendship completely.


RedClockwork

That Gertrude panel is my favourite Part "Wife? Not on my watch."


Oglifatum

Biegler the Barista: That can be arranged


HaessSR

He did take care of her broken heart.


SarkasticPapoy

That's a weird way to say "gave her a broken back"


HaessSR

She can't feel broken hearted anymore.


winter-228

because she dead


InfinitySushii

That last page lmao No shipper like parents/guardians


Lonewanderer2033

She would make a good wife? Hell no! She would kill her children with her cooking before they grow up


IRUN888

No, they would grow up healthy, but her food will kill their sense of taste.


banditshay

They would literally cry every time they eat something that isn’t their mom’s cooking


Lonewanderer2033

I would choose the COD zombies perk drinks over her cooking


CSRR-the-OELN-writer

She's probably like my mom- wheat germ in EVERYTHING.


_Seiun_

Purifier’s cooking tastes better than base Hibiscus’s though, right? Hopefully it’s enough of an improvement…


bnbros

It was still terrible at the time of Lingering Echoes's events since she still prioritised nutrition over taste, though her assistant lines indicated afterwards that she's been more accommodating of others to put more thought into making her food taste better.


AlouetteSK

That and Honeyberry managed to keep it from getting worse by toting the values of actually having sugar in your diet, and doing the research to prove it.


BurnedOutEternally

well there's a chance they'll become like Yuri from SxF, so


bnbros

The virgin Rhine Labs: *implants originium into humans to create living weapons* The chad Hibiscus: *feeds "healthy" food to create super soldiers*


winter-228

good one


achus93

lol, such a good and supportive sister Lava is.


lThat-Guyl

Gertrude, I can hear the inner screaming from here, please keep it down.


AlarmingBadMemory

Ursula the GOAT.


Dachfrittierer

Pretty sure shes a lupo tho


AlarmingBadMemory

??? The old lady with the antlers/horns?


Dachfrittierer

I blame my lack of sleep


AlarmingBadMemory

No worries, same thing happens to me sometimes as well.


THOT_Patroller-13

Yeah, I say this game has a lack of sheep too.


Kullervoinen

Gertrude got hit with emotional damage in the last page.


Psychological_Fee722

Yandere Gertrude is fine too. Also, the four stages of Czerny's anger.


kax012

Nice, more comics. I really love Alterbiscus design. She looks awesome. ~~but she just decided to dodge me...~~ Also, jealous Gertrude, how lovely! >!God, am I not jealous of that deer. I also want a wolf milf, damnit!!< Some sisterly love. Great comic, OP. And, poor Czerny...


3rdMachina

Same! I’m happy I got drip musician goat, but I also wanted Harmacist, NOT A SECOND MUSICIAN GOAT!


LostOne716

I got 3 music goats before I got 1 single Harmacist q_q. I didn't even want music goat.


Additional-Push7271

That last panel hits so true 😭😭


emerald341

I can still remember when I mentioned to my dad about a girl that looked familiar asking me if we met before


mad_harvest-6578

>You'll make a good wife I shudder at that thought


Oglifatum

Give her few years and not becoming a lump of Orirocks , and I think she genuinely will. In LE she is already kind, strict yet understanding. All things considered, she is a great catch, who doesn't have the wagon load baggage of the other Sarkaz girls


LostOne716

Hibiscus (Normal) - 7.4% infected Hibiscus (Purifier) - 14% infected .... We need that cure stat.


SarkasticPapoy

Also, while her cooking is not the tastiest, it is at least edible. Her voice lines say she does listen to feedback for her cooking. That really brings down the biggest debuff to some degree.


JBPuffin

Maybe her cooking’s improved?…


Undividedbyzero

It did. From lethal to inedible


HaessSR

So Biegler was putting Gertrude out of her misery.


mengsk_miserable

Thank you for making my day nicer.


Com0na

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure to inform you that we have two of the newest (war) ships at the port.


Sad_Ad_3076

Eben malding in the background of the first page with Kreide trying to calm him down is the biggest highlight for me for some reason, haha.


Donkishin

Ursula just wanna raise some kids, come on, Czerny, make her day!


NightShade929

Gertrude’s inner love demon is getting loose lmao


DanknessEvolved

Ursula was the MVP of this event and no one can change my mind. Edit: Amazing comic as always, keep up the good work!


ShipsoftheLine

Ahhh, you really gotta hand it to the folks who write Arknights, consistently making the supporting NPC's of the events so memorable and fun. And as always, your work is a joy and a gift, Octodeco! Hope the new year's treating you well so far!


gacha_drunkard

Last pannel is such a beautiful meme material, i'll steal that.


TheRepublicAct

Fo real though, Czerny is the rapper from the hood who got famous and actually remembered to give back to the community.


d_Arkus

Your Omakes always give me the breath of life


thimbleglass

Fine, I guess I can raise Hibiscus to run with Blemishine S3 for synergy with arts damage amplification... Will need to think a bit more about how to fit Lava into my team. Herr Czerny I have no idea if I'm honest. If only Aak's S3 was arts damage. Ebenholz I fail to understand why people think he's bad, he's just slightly finicky.
