Day 8
Doubts regarding whether or not the Terran liked me where certainly and indisputably diminished at the beginning of the next cycle.
Quinn seemed to have predicted my intention of speaking to her as soon as possible, given that she sought me out shortly after the new cycle had begun. She was walking towards me in a rather strange manner, faster than normal walking, practically jumping with small flying phases in between taking the next step. I could not discern the purpose it was supposed to serve, but I was not given time to put too much thought into it.
She bared her teeth at me once again, although this time I did not recoil. One of her hands hit me languidly slightly above the juncture where my first pair of legs joined my upper body. I was uncertain what this gesture was supposed to convey. Was it an attack? Was she trying to notify me of an imminent danger approaching?
"I wanna show you something", she informed me. She waved her hand from my direction towards her body, which, if I inferred correctly out of the previous records, was supposed to signify me to follow her.
I trailed after her, letting her lead me to the emergency in question. As it turned out, there was no immediate emergency. The Terran came to a halt in front of one of the few windows built into the outer layer of the SIIR Noxos. She pointed to it as I joined her side, leaving a (as I aimed) respectful distance between the two of us. I followed her extended arm with my visual organs, ending up staring out of the window. 
I blinked. If there was an immediate threat outside the window in close proximity, I was not able to glimpse it. The human spoke up: "It‘s beautiful, isn‘t it?"
She had sunken to the floor, a rather alarming sight at first, but she seemed unharmed. 
I searched for an appropriate response, but in the end, I simply answered: "I suppose. Although my species does not linger in the beauty of transient things."
The human‘s face morphed into a grimace of displeasure. "Then what‘s the point in life?"
"My species believes that there is more to life than oneself, and that intelligent life is supposed to be dedicated to the exploration of science.", I eludicated.
"Hm. I guess y‘all aren‘t too different from some humans. Y‘know, we humans have the phrase 'Appreciate the little things'. I mean, the universe isn‘t exactly small, but…it‘s definitely nice to look at." "I suppose", I repeated.
I lowered myself onto the floor as well, as it seemed appropriate. I gazed upon the universe outside the window. I suppose there was something quite beautiful about it. 
Eventually, I broke the silence.
"May I ask a question?", I requested, careful not to be impolite. 
"Yeah, sure", she answered.
"I watched the video recording of your work in Sector 3, simply to control your work, and you…seemingly began to sing? While continuing to work? I am merely trying to understand the reasoning behind this. Does it serve a religious or cultural purpose?You were not bored by your task, were you?" My front pliers rattled quietly. Something about the thought of the human being bored made me…rather uneasy. Perhaps it was due to my mind imagining what the human might come up with to pass the time in case of boredom.
The Terran blew air out of her nostrils rather aggressively, but there were no other signs of irritation.
"Oh, no", she answered. "No, it‘s actually just because…well, my dad taught me everything he knows about handling machines, so when I used to help him out in the workshop in the afternoons, and we‘d be like…fixing a car engine or whatever, we always used to turn up the radio and sing along. It was kind of our thing. So nowadays, when I‘m working on something, I might start singing. Not out of boredom, just a habit."
"Your…dad.", I repeated, uncertain what that term was supposed to mean. 
She looked at me in a indiscernible manner. "Yeah, my father, my parent, whatever you wanna call it."
"I apologize. I was unfamiliar with that term.", I stated.
"Oh. Sure."
She opened her mouth once again to say: "Y‘know, um…I mainly just wanted to show you this and also thank you, y‘know, for…giving me something to work on."
"It was my pleasure. I admit I might have given you a rather simple task to begin with, but that was merely because, while the Vitrichl stated you were competent, he and I have…differentiating views on the word 'competent'."
She bared her teeth once again, although shortly, before raising to her full height and, for some inexplicable reason patting down her clothes as if to remove any dust, although her clothing was perfectly clean.
"Well, Cap wants to see me again today, so, I guess I‘ll see ya tomorrow."
"Indeed.", I retorted.
Without another word, she turned and waved one of her hands behind her as if to signal her departure.

Racules is back in KingOhger and so am I
...and so are my "Racules may be a world-wide criminal who treats Geneva convension as a to-do check list but he's still a good person and here's why" theories
Ok, let's go
As we saw few episodes ago, you don't know when space-bug king is watching, so you can't discuss any more elaborate plans in the open. That could explain why Racules chose to pretend to be dead for those 2 years, because this way he was off the radar
I believe, that Racules chose to join Dagded to gain his trust, get closer to him and lower his guard. Then, eventually, he will betray him and destroy him when he least expects it
Let's be honest here, Dagded is too OP to be fought directly. He's like Thanos with all infinity stones. He could wipe whole Chikyuu with his yawn. The only reason why the kings even have a chance to fight back is because Dagded wants to play with his prey first because he's bored af. The only solution is to use deception (compare with how Kaguragi took down Racules)
I believe that Suzume is in on the whole thing, though I don't think they discussed directly, as I mentioned above, you don't know when the space-bug king is watching, so they need to read between the lines. Much like the kings themselves did those few episodes ago and how Dybowski siblings operate on the daily basis
So to say, Racules and Suzume have the Evil King act and reading the truth from behind the act down, respectively
It's also worth to note that, given what Dagded said about Shugoddom kings, Racules must have known about Dagded for a long time and since Suzume lived there for 15 years and was basically spying on him she could have found out about it, or she simply read that here is something bigger out there worrying Racules and she just decided to take that leap of faith and trust him enough to help him in whatever it was he was doing
That being said, it's all so cute and dramatic and I love both of them. Hopefully we'll finally see Suzume use that sword of hers and together with Racules they'll kick some ass like the power couple they are <3

Hey I'm so sorry if I'm bothering you but I was wondering how long you had the emoji requests open? I think i sent mine in ab 30 minutes after you posted it so idk if i was too late or not lol.
(Also if i was on time, I've noticed that some of the emojis haven't been showing up for you, so mine were a boar, an ice cube, the biohazard symbol, and the dizzy star emoji)
Yeah it got closed not long after opening
Yours did make it in
