NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

The man pulled the tip of the long blade back half an inch, and his blood pressure began to rise.

However, to his utter surprise, Anik in his mind's eye added a few extraordinary words at this moment.

Hey, I told you to wait, but you didn't listen. You can't blame me.

The three-edged dagger in the opponent's hand had its tip flattened, as blunt as a thumb.

Okay, that's all I know. Figure out the rest yourself.

With the reminder that artificial intelligence is as bad as hindsight,

Someone's blood pressure experienced a series of ups and downs, but ultimately failed to return to baseline levels.

What do you mean?

Maruchana wanted to kill her, but she ended up coming here to die?

Is this woman out of her mind?

Chapter 127 A Fierce Fight

The atmosphere should have been tense and confrontational.

At least in the eyes of Anis and the others, D ambushed the commander, and then the commander retaliated by tearing off his arms and pointing a sword at his throat. So the two sides should at least be enemies who would fight to the death.

But look at the expression of that court lackey. Not only is there no murderous intent, but there's also a faint hint of joy in the corner of his eye.

Is this woman also a psychopath?

Anis and Marianne's gazes naturally drifted to Mihara, their strange looks revealing their inner thoughts.

However, they were met with a rare look of disgust from Mihara.

Who is like that woman?

All she wants now is to kill this Ark scum who dared to attack the commander twice!

"Commander, please order me to kill her."

Mihalya pulled a tactical dagger from his trench coat and strode towards D's position with sharp steps.

"Mikhail, let's figure this out first, and then... wait!"

Before Phoenix could finish speaking, Mihara showed no sign of stopping. The woman told him to give the order, but she ignored the restrictions imposed by NIMPH and swung her knife toward D's face.

call--

The sound of wind breaking was deafening.

In a moment of desperation, the man, unable to hold onto the other man in time, could only swipe his knife to deflect Mihara's blade to the side.

Bang-!

A cold glint flashed, and the dagger, deviating from its trajectory, grazed D's cheekbone, leaving a bloody mark.

"Commander?!"

Mihara, who never expected her husband to intervene, turned around in surprise, her expression filled with seven parts incomprehension, two parts resentment, and one part disappointment.

“I haven’t given the order yet, Mihara.” Phoenix, with a headache, retracted the blade arm, causing it to revert to its original mechanical form, and explained:

"Let's hear what D has to say first."

……

……

Let's rewind a few seconds.

When the commander forcefully parried Mihara's slash, D felt an indescribable sense of pride rising uncontrollably within him.

She didn't even know what she was so proud of.

Anyway...

Anyway, I'm really proud of myself!

Even if just a minute ago, her hands had been pulled off her shoulders by the guy who was protecting her.

then,

After hearing that Phoenix needed an explanation, the cat-eared girl, in a good mood, told the man about the assassination attempt she had encountered and most of her mental journey after escaping it.

The most detailed part is why she concluded that Phoenix was the one who did it.

"Because before this, I didn't believe that Maruchana could break through the mental constraints of NIMPH."

Her performance at MMR school has been impeccable throughout the years, making her a textbook example of the perfect combination of Nikki and NIMPH. And I have no conflict of interest with her.

Rather than believing that a model Niki would plot a bomb to kill me, I think...

I think you have even more reason to kill me.

With the six assassins from last night as a prelude, your attempt to kill me today is the most deceptive timing for the court.

On the first day, all the assassins died, and on the second day, the bodyguard died in an explosion. From the court's perspective, this seemed like an act of revenge.

As long as you don't leave behind any definitive evidence, you don't need to frame anyone; the court will definitely define the bombing as a provocation by the killers.

so……"

"So the only possibility you could come to at that time was that I wanted to kill you." After hearing D's explanation, Phoenix's expression couldn't help but show a hint of annoyance.

He wasn't emotionally naive. For a girl to openly run over and pretend to assassinate him when she was convinced he was going to kill her, there must be one reason for it.

She wanted to see if she really wanted to kill her, even if the price might be death, she needed to get a 100% certain answer.

This chick...

Although it might sound a bit narcissistic, Phoenix still thought with a heavy heart:

Why is this girl suddenly so concerned about my attitude towards her?

It doesn't make sense...

He only touched the back of her hand at the Missilis Building; it shouldn't have escalated their relationship to this extent, right?

As the man was thinking, footsteps suddenly echoed from the basement stairs.

The visitor is none other than someone else.

It was Maruchana, who had attempted murder but failed.

"Instructor!"

Click!

The uninvited teacher, while pulling back the safety on his shotgun, anxiously shouted:

"Everyone be careful! The Inquisition's henchmen may be carrying poisonous substances! Protect the instructors!"

"You dare to insult me ​​to his face?!"

Upon hearing the enemy describe her as an assassin, D's pretty face immediately fell, and she rushed forward in a few strides, shouting something under her breath.

"Speak! Did you let those assassins in?"

Even without his arms, D's movements were not affected in the slightest. He was as swift as a real feline, leaving a dark shadow as he rushed towards Maruchana.

This is her fastest speed.

At the same time, it is also evidence that she did not intend to kill any man.

However, the teacher was no pushover either; no matter how fast the assassin moved, he couldn't outrun her pulling the trigger.

However, due to the limitations of NIMPH, she specifically replaced the shotgun ammunition with non-lethal suppression rounds.

This bullet grants Niki the authority to shoot other Nikis, but its weakness is also obvious.

With its short range and slow velocity, the suppressive rounds are so powerful that they might not even penetrate body armor, let alone military-grade stab-proof vests. Therefore, the suppressive rounds must be aimed at Nikki's face or exposed areas.

boom.

Gunfire erupted.

Just before Maruchana pulled the trigger, D seized the opportunity and twisted his waist to turn away, successfully causing all the suppressive rounds to hit her cloak, while a follow-up back kick followed.

Snapped!

The assassin's heel struck the barrel of the shotgun in the teacher's hand. The teacher immediately made a judgment; she didn't cling to the weapon in her hand, but instead released the grip, took half a step back, and then drew the pistol from her waist...

"Stop the fucking thing!"

Behind them, a loud shout from the commander caused the two Nikis, who were about to determine a winner, to stop their movements in an instant.

"Have you had enough?!"

From the moment he woke up in the afternoon, Phoenix felt that everything was going wrong. First, he had to coax his wife, then he had to coax his wife again, then his wives made sarcastic remarks to him, then he broke the arms of a woman who was suspected to be his wife, then he stopped his wife from killing his future wife, and finally he managed to have a few words with her, but then his future wife started fighting with his teacher.

Is it over?

Is this some kind of life even meant for humans?!

"I'm warning you, from now on, without my permission, none of you dare to point a gun at me..."
