NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

Immediately afterwards, he heard Honglian's lazy voice brush past his ear like cotton.

"Young master,"

If one day humans emerge from underground,

If one day the Milky Way shines again in the human sky...

When that time comes,

Would you like to wander the world with me?

Chapter 111 This copywriting is brilliant, I copied it.

As for Honglian, she didn't really think that much about it; she just wanted to maintain her refined and scholarly persona.

Phoenix, who understood Honglian's feelings, naturally knew what she meant by her words.

When the group traveled together, she was responsible for providing meals and accommodation, while he acted as the messenger.

It does sound a bit like being a tool.

But then I thought about it again, and it's even harder than wanting a romantic entanglement to happen when a man and a woman travel around the world together.

"Don't you think your words could be easily misunderstood, Miss Honglian?" Phoenix lowered his eyes slightly, his tone carrying a hint of friendly disdain as he teased:

"I'm not the kind of casual man you imagine."

"Oh~?"

Perhaps it was because the wine tonight was particularly intoxicating, but Honglian felt dizzy and her head naturally drooped lower.

They were so close that they could even hear each other breathing.

"Judging from your words, young master, could it be that you hope others will misunderstand the relationship between us..."

"commander--!!!"

Just as Honglian's words and actions were about to spiral out of control, Marian's angry shout came from not far away.

"Pilgrims! Stay away from the commander!"

"Haha~ It seems the misunderstanding is happening much faster than I expected."

The smell of sourness instantly sobered Honglian, reducing her drunkenness by seventy percent. While Marianne was still rushing towards her, she leaped and tumbled off the rocking chair like a dragonfly skimming the water, landing on the ground.

The poor, expensive rocking chair, made of ironwood, had withstood decades of wear and tear, but couldn't withstand the turmoil of Honglian and Phoenix. With Niki's turn, the left leg snapped, and the chair tipped to one side, carrying Phoenix with it.

Only Honglian was able to rely on her superhuman reflexes, which exceeded the limits of biological theory, to grab the rocking chair with her hand at almost the same speed, successfully preventing Phoenix from falling to his side and getting injured.

In response, the commander had to admit that she was indeed a member of the Goddess Squad and the sole survivor of the melee-specialized unit.

Such unscientific strength means that even a powerful alliance between special forces and the Metis forces, without the aid of transport aircraft, might not be able to withstand it.

"commander?"

If Marianne's initial reaction upon seeing Honglian pinning Phoenix down was primarily one of worry, then her reaction was one of concern.

Upon discovering that the commander was unharmed and the pilgrim's face was noticeably flushed, Marian's worries vanished instantly, blown away by the night wind.

Instead, there is a uniquely sarcastic and unpredictable tone that belongs to the mind of a young girl.

"It seems the commander has recovered well; I worried for nothing."

"..."

How should he respond to this?

The will to survive surged in an instant, and the brain worked at an unparalleled speed.

So, after 0.999 seconds, Phoenix, having racked his brains, came to a cruel conclusion.

—I have no idea, there's no way to save them, let them die.

click!

Just as the man was in despair, perhaps even the rocking chair couldn't bear to watch such an embarrassing scene any longer. Suddenly, one of the chair legs broke, causing Phoenix to fall to the right.

Clang——!

This sudden accident meant that even with Honglian's quick reflexes, she couldn't catch the rocking chair in time, and Phoenix accidentally fell to the ground.

"hiss--"

The moment someone fell to the ground and felt their head hit the ground, a sudden idea flashed through their mind. They quickly covered their head with their hands and began to perform a dive, just like a soccer player rushing towards the penalty area.

"Commander! Please let go so I can check your injuries!"

As the saying goes, concern can cloud judgment. Seeing Phoenix clutching his head and gasping for breath in pain, not only did Marian rush to squat down to help him up, but even Honglian subconsciously leaned forward to check on Phoenix's condition.

"How are you? Are you hurt?!"

"hiss……"

The man pretended to grimace, striking a pose as if he wanted to get up but couldn't find his balance.

"I feel a little... dizzy."

"I'll help you back to your room right away, Commander!"

Watching the back of a shameless man who was practically clinging to Marian, Honglian, who had already sensed something amiss from his gait, silently stood still and wisely did not follow.

……

……

"Three rabbits and one coyote, that's pretty lucky. If Diesel, Ningya, and Sapol also have some, all we need to do is start a fire tonight to dry the meat, and we can set off tomorrow."

Yin Hua, carrying a string of prey tied to her hand, pushed open the door and entered the house, talking as she led her spoils toward the kitchen.

However, she soon noticed something unusual about Marian out of the corner of her eye.

What happened to your face? It's so red.

"what!"

Reminded by Yin Hua, the girl, like a startled rabbit, quickly stood up from her seat and waved her hand, saying:

"I, I'm fine."

"?"

Seeing the other person's cheeks growing increasingly red, Yin Hua's low emotional intelligence compelled her to continue pressing for answers:

"Is it really okay?"

"By the way, where is the commander? I haven't seen him outside."

"The commander..."

The mere mention of the Commander caused Marian's ears to turn red and burn, as if she were recalling something.

"...He was in the bedroom, saying he was going to read for a while."

"Not sleeping?"

"I don't know, I guess... I guess I'm not asleep."

After placing the prey in the kitchen sink, Yin Hua remembered the pigeon soup they had made together earlier that day. Originally intending to cut the meat herself, she ultimately decided to go to Phoenix to ask about the key points to note when making smoked meat.

It's okay if the food doesn't taste good, but it's somewhat inappropriate if the food makes people feel nauseous.

After thinking it over, Yinhua turned and walked towards the bedroom, saying goodbye to Marian as she did so, "I'll go ask him what to do with these animals."

"……it is good."

A confused Marianne nodded blankly, letting Yin Hua look at her with a strange expression.

what happened?

Everyone else has already deactivated NIMPH, so why is Marian acting like she's been corrupted?

Filled with questions, Yin Hua turned into the corridor. Just as she was about to knock on the bedroom door, she heard Phoenix muttering to himself faintly coming from inside.

The sound was very soft; theoretically, she shouldn't have been able to hear it through the door at all.

Unfortunately, she had kicked the lock off the door earlier, so even if she used newspapers or something similar to block the gaps, it couldn't be closed as tightly as usual.

In addition, Yin Hua's hearing is exceptional; if she listens carefully, she can hear what Phoenix is ​​muttering in the room.

"On the day humanity emerges from the earth, on the night the Milky Way bursts forth in the sky, will you leave with me?"

Yin Hua: "?"

he……

Is he practicing confessing his feelings?

Who should I confess to?

After humanity's counterattack on the surface, who did he plan to leave with?

Chapter 112 The abacus beads flew off the table from being used so much.

Honglian probably never imagined that a sentence she uttered on a whim would be copied by unscrupulous people and used as a love confession.
