NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

"My agreement with you has one condition: only when humanity surpasses Lecher can we accompany each other to see all the beautiful sights in this world."

Bai Xue: "..."

The foodie never expected that the prerequisites for her teammate's so-called "wandering the world" would be so harsh, so harsh that even she felt it was unrealistic.

But then again, just in case, humanity does miraculously defeat Lecher...

Bai Xue: "...Remember to call me when the time comes."

Honglian: "Get lost."

Chapter 256 The Fox Spirit

Eden, dormitory area, a corridor.

Ms. Dorothy, leaning against the railing, waited patiently for a very long time, but no matter how long she waited, the person never came.

What does that mean? Is that man planning to spend the night on the roof?

The woman, who longed to tell Pina about her feelings of longing, had a gloomy face and seemed unable to enter a meditative state any longer.

She's been standing here for a long time.

Inside Eden, there are also many mass-produced Nikis and humans living there.

If someone were to accidentally see her, this partner of Eden, standing humbly at the entrance of a male dormitory, waiting obediently...

That would have a huge impact on his reputation.

“Pina, let’s go. Waiting here is giving that man too much face.”

After saying that, Dorothy turned to leave. She had always cared about the distinction between social status and position, and she could not accept this endless, humble waiting.

Click, click...

The footsteps, slightly heavier than usual, rhythmically conveyed the woman's terrible mood, but unexpectedly, after only a few steps, the footsteps suddenly stopped.

Then, they walked back in the opposite direction at an even faster speed...

……

Time: 23:26 (midnight).

Located in the central core floor of Eden.

After undergoing various checks and adjustments by Cecil, confirming that all items that could potentially reveal information about the Garden of Eden, including locators and recording devices, had been removed...

They finally obtained Niki's permission, and except for the wounded, she was free to move about in Eden.

"Ms. Cecil, how should we contact our commander?"

As Niki's temporary leader, Lapi asked the question that Mihara and the others cared about most.

Where are their men?

“That’s dormitory area W-05, but that’s a human residential area, and Niki has no right to enter.”

While browsing and pondering the prosthetic framework and design concepts scanned by Nadja and the others, Cecil casually replied:

"You can rest assured. Lieutenant Phoenix is ​​a very important partner for Eden, so there's no need to worry about his safety."

In the eyes of the brilliant scientist, every detail and conversation of Nikki in this squadron demonstrated their loyalty to Lieutenant Phoenix.

Moreover, their attitude towards Phoenix far exceeded Harlan's attitude towards John.

The latter is like the absolute trust that soldiers have for their generals and subordinates follow their superiors.

The former...

I could vaguely sense that their "soldier's heart" and "subordinate's heart" were showing signs of slightly changing.

Hmm, it's a bit like Isabelle's corruption.

……

……

"W-05, this should be it."

Unsurprisingly, Mrs. Phoenix, as the legal wife, ignored Cecil's warnings, considering herself human.

She calmly led Yuni to the commander's dormitory and said with a light laugh:

"Euni, it's your turn."

"Ok!"

Just thinking about tonight's activities made Yuni's cheeks flush.

blah-

Under the girl's supernatural power, the electronic door lock, which theoretically requires verification via an ID card, instantly emitted a slight electrical sound indicating a malfunction, and then Yuni impatiently pulled open the door.

Behind the door,

It's a wardrobe-style entryway.

You need to turn left after entering the room to reach the living room of the one-bedroom apartment.

Therefore, the two women, one big and one small, quietly closed the door after stepping over the threshold, wanting to give their men a big surprise.

However, the next scene that came into view left both Mihara and Yuni looking bewildered.

It wasn't the extreme embarrassment of going into the wrong room.

Instead, it was a kind of blank stare, like someone who had "unexpectedly caught their husband cheating on them after suddenly returning home without telling him."

At the end of the wardrobe-style entryway, Dorothy, who thought Phoenix had finally returned, stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly into their eyes.

Yuni: "?"

Mihara: "..."

Dorothy: "…………"

How could other women be entering Lieutenant Phoenix's room?!

Atmosphere,

The stiffness carried an air of detached awkwardness, like the astonishment of finding a cockroach in a lunchbox.

Mihara didn't know what to say, and Dorothy was even less able to defend herself.

However, the simple-minded Yuni immediately snapped out of her daze upon seeing the pink-haired woman in her evening gown.

This woman actually knew that her commander had a thing for uniforms?!

How did she know?!

"Vixen!"

"?"

When Eunice immediately labeled her as a seducer, Dorothy's mind went blank, and she couldn't even connect it to the crucial question of "why the other person was able to enter the dormitory silently."

"Who are you calling a vixen?!"

The pink-haired old woman, her eyes bulging with impatience, whispered a sharp rebuke:

"You'd better explain yourself!"

Her purpose in breaking into the apartment was simple—she didn't want anyone to notice her waiting anxiously at the door, and she didn't want passersby to have any unnecessary misunderstandings.

Now look what's happened; her cleverness has backfired, and she's been labeled a "vixen" by a group of strangers.

If word gets out, will she still be able to live in Eden?

unfortunately,

Despite Dorothy's pressure, Eunice remained completely unfazed. In fact, the girl boldly increased her aggression.

"The one who asked the question is a vixen! Shameless!"

"you!!!"

The noblewoman opened her violet eyes wide, her delicate face turning crimson with anger.

She has never been called "shameless" since she was a child!

"You two..."

Glug glug glug—

Just as Dorothy finally remembered to confront the other party, the sound of a glass door being moved came from the dormitory balcony.

Looking back, you can see Isabel, her face darkening rapidly, striding menacingly toward the entrance.

"Why are you three vixens in my husband's room?!"

"..."

After a brief silence, the three volcanoes, which were already on the verge of erupting, were enraged by Isabel's delusional remark.

Dorothy: "Isabel, do you really think I wouldn't dare to teach you a lesson?!"
