NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

There's a feeling of utter bewilderment when you're ganked and killed by the mid and jungle in a top lane, and in a fit of anger, you call surrender. Then, you respawn and are about to teleport back to the fight when your teammates vote to surrender with four votes.

He offered to keep watch for the woman, but she fell asleep within three seconds.

This……

As expected of someone in business, the importance of face is inversely proportional to the intensity of the need.

Having been caught off guard by Ingrid's unexpected attack, he had no choice but to adjust his mindset and return to the combat readiness he had when fighting on the ground. He forced himself to sit at the foot of the bed, guarding this shameless woman, despite his overwhelming drowsiness.

……

Time passed, bit by bit.

For men, it's torture; but for women, it's surprisingly comfortable.

With a humanoid monster who could slay Lecher, kill assassins, and tear cyborgs apart by the side, Ingrid slept very comfortably.

In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed.

Even outside of these extraordinary times, she rarely gets such a high-quality and restful sleep.

There's no way around it; ever since she took over as CEO of Gokuraku Jodo and advocated that the Ark should actively counterattack the ground, many people have secretly hoped that she would disappear from the face of the earth.

"How long have I slept?"

"Four hours exactly."

Upon hearing the man's reply, Ingrid, who had just gotten out of bed, moved like a soldier on a battlefield, without the slightest hesitation or weariness. She turned to look at the man with a melancholy expression and nodded apologetically, saying:

"sorry to bother you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Sitting at the foot of the bed, Lieutenant Phoenix, who hadn't even eaten lunch, waved his hand listlessly.

"Just don't come tonight."

"?"

Ingrid, who had been dealing with the business and political circles for too long, frowned immediately upon hearing the man's disdainful tone.

She's a strong woman, yet not a strong woman; it would be a lie to say she doesn't care about personal charm and her appeal to the opposite sex.

What do you mean by "don't come at night"?

Although I am 100% certain that I will not spend the night at the rehabilitation center, what does it mean that this guy is so disgusted with me?

Is she really that unfeminine?

"What? You have plans for tonight?" the CEO of Gokuraku Jodo retorted, somewhat unconvinced.

However, the speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. Phoenix, who did have plans for the evening, almost had his pretense shattered by the other party's casual remark.

Fortunately, his acting skills were also top-notch, and he quickly retorted, "It's your business if you don't look for a partner in the future, but I do. If this gets out, how am I supposed to find a wife?"

Just a few days ago, someone experienced the feeling of being literally squeezed unconscious. As they talked about it, they became more and more terrified.

He didn't want his family to find an excuse for him because of this mess, giving them a legitimate reason to retaliate against him.

That's...that's terrifying...

"Hurry up and go, hurry up!" The lieutenant, his face pale, urged repeatedly.

"You don't want your innocence, but I do!"

Ingrid: "..."

……

"Mihara~ You seem different~"

MMR Affiliated High School

In the "basement," Yuni stroked Mihara's arm, sensing her best friend's feelings little by little through touch, her eyes flashing with envy and longing.

"Mihara was very happy, the kind of extremely happy happiness. It was the first time Yuni had ever seen Mihara like this."

The girl greedily pinched her friend's forearm with her fingers, trying to share some of the joy from that friend's happiness.

But no matter how hard she tried, that longed-for joy remained unmoved by her actions.

"Euni".

Gently patting the little girl's head, Mihara noticed the simple ring on her ring finger, and her expression softened with a maturity typically found in women.

"This is a relationship between the Commander and me. If Yuni wants it, she should go to the Commander."

"But the commander doesn't like Yuni!"

Sitting on the newly repaired bed, the pink-haired loli turned her head angrily, swinging her twin ponytails and muttering softly.

"The Commander just likes big breasts! And he complains that Yuni is too young! The Commander is so stupid, Yuni only looks young because of her prosthetic body, not because she is actually young!"

Seeing the little girl's childlike mind, Mihara's lips curled into a helpless smile, and he could only comfort her, "Alright, alright, when the opportunity comes, I'll take you to see the Commander and help you get rid of that thing in your head."

"Oh."

Yuni instinctively responded, then realized something was amiss and turned to meet Mihara's gaze.

"That...that's not what's in my head!"

"Shh-"

Mihara quickly raised his hand to gently cover Yuni's mouth, and winked mysteriously.

“Yes, without that, Yuni can truly grow up. Later, we can find an opportunity to have the Commander ask someone to redesign your prosthetic body. When that happens, Yuni can confidently and boldly ambush the Commander.”

……

bulibuli! m-boer~

In a secluded corner of the school playground, Anise, wearing a mask and watching Lapi and her team train student Niki, lowered her head and glanced at the private chat messages that had been sent by Balabala.

[Commander: Find a way to leave MMR Affiliated High School. Wait for me at Bar No. 5 at 1 AM.]

"!!!"

Slightly widening her eyes, the girl, after confirming that she was not hallucinating, almost couldn't control her surging emotions and nearly jumped up from her seat.

Following Mihara's support in helping the Commander get through the early stages of the game, and Marian's selfless act of saving the Commander...

Now, it's finally her turn to take the stage!

[Anis: Here it comes~ Commander, have you finally decided to elope with me?!!!!]

[Commander is typing...]

[Anis: Considering the Commander's enthusiasm, and to avoid hurting the Commander's fragile ego, it seems I'll have no choice but to reluctantly agree!]

[Commander is typing...]

[Anis: Is there anything you need me to bring? Underwear and such, do you want me to prepare everything for the Commander?]

[Commander is typing...]

[Anis: Okay, okay, okay, okay! Tell me the sizes quickly!!!]

[Commander is typing...]

[Commander: Tonight we're going to the outer edge of the region.]

Chapter 152 So he was a beast after all.

Escaping from MMR High School is actually quite difficult.

Anise was able to get in mainly due to luck and ACPU's incompetent management.

Now that the gates of MMR High School are back under the school's management, it's no easy feat for the girl to sneak out of the school again.

Thanks to Maruchana's support of the Commander, and with the help of Mihara, Lapi, and others, Anis thought she had successfully escaped from MMR High School.

As everyone knows,

Inside the high school's underground laboratory, Ethel, who was in charge of researching student Niki, had already witnessed everything...

……

……

[Attempting facial recognition...]

Facial recognition failed.

In front of the computer, researcher Niki watched the surveillance video with great interest, her tired, listless turquoise eyes sparkling with curiosity.

After noticing that the system's facial recognition had failed, she pondered for a moment, and then began typing furiously on the keyboard.

[Trying eye recognition...]
