NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

Faced with the boss's reprimand, Nien, who was standing next to the commander, was quite cooperative. She quickly stood still and shouted at the top of her lungs like a soldier:

"Yes, boss!"

"..."

Blood pressure surged to her head along with the sounds echoing in the hallway. The Queen of Elysium, her heart rate rising, decisively ignored her optimistic employee, then shifted her gaze to the hero who had recently topped the Ark's traffic charts—Commander Valerie.

After a long silence, the woman finally spoke:

"Come to my office."

……

laugh--

The thick, soundproof door rises from the bottom up to ensure that no sound from inside the house leaks out to the outside.

"I'm sorry I didn't make an appointment with you in advance."

Inside the room, without Ingrid needing to ask any further questions, the preoccupied young woman frankly revealed the purpose of her visit.

"I'm mainly asking you for help in speaking with the Central Command. I... don't really like the recent false propaganda online."

Those battle achievements were clearly made by the instructors and the special squadron..."

"He doesn't care about these things."

Before Huaerqiulei could finish speaking, Ingrid, unusually, interrupted the girl, extinguishing the long-winded topic on the spot.

"Anderson should have already informed you that the central government hopes a commander can step forward like a lone hero to inspire people."

And you, a new recruit, a battlefield heroine, and with outstanding looks, if your combat record were also exceptional, you'd be the perfect model for propaganda.

"Then why can't it be an instructor?!"

After receiving a clearer answer from the CEO, Huaerqiulei's pent-up dissatisfaction finally erupted like a volcano.

She was dubbed a "Hero of the Ark" by Tetra and the Central Committee. Her story was featured 24/7, both online and on the radio. This kind of celebrity-making stunt was incredibly agonizing for a proud officer.

"What would the other commanders think if they found out that my battle achievements were all fabricated?"

“They will gloat.”

As Ingrid spoke, she strolled back to her desk, calmly answering the girl's questions while glancing at the spreadsheets prepared by the finance department.

"Given your current status and position, go and look through the secondary files of the command headquarters yourself, and take a good look at the battle damage records of the last counterattack on the ground by Qianzhou twenty-seven years ago."

"Compile a list of the political backgrounds of those who died in the line of duty, and then write a report for me."

"?"

Huaerqiulei never expected that after listening to her debate, Ingrid would give her a "homework" assignment, adding to her relentless report-writing career these past few days.

"But……"

The girl wanted to say something more to try and salvage her beliefs, but the Queen's oppressive gaze made it clear to her that the topic of "claiming military merits without authorization" was over.

Correspondingly, the sound of the electromagnetic sliding door, signaling the departure of guests, rang out again from the office soundproof door.

laugh--

……

……

"what's up."

Pure Land of Bliss, Niki's Simulation Training Ground.

Yin Hua, who was conducting a military capability assessment for the new batch of mass-produced Niki, asked coldly without turning her head after hearing the sound of the door opening behind her.

Unfortunately, she had managed to spare a few moments of patience to wait a few breaths, but to her surprise, she didn't receive a report. The black-haired girl's face immediately fell.

Niki hadn't encountered such an unruly and useless person in the simulation training ground for a long time. She was busy and really didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters every day.

"Get out, and replace him with someone with a better brain."

"Oh."

"..."

The familiar, husky voice made Yin Hua pause. Then, the girl slowly narrowed her eyes, her already gloomy expression turning almost ashen.

She whirled around, her gaze fixed on the doorway. After confirming that the visitor was indeed that bastard Phoenix, she took two steps forward and snapped at him in an unfriendly tone:

"Are you crazy?! Sneaking back to the Ark is one thing, but wandering around like an idiot in a place full of security cameras?!"

"I have something I'd like to ask you."

"..."

The man's simple words instantly silenced Yinhua's pent-up complaints, and she responded irritably:

"explain."

The lieutenant was quite blunt. As he walked to the control panel and observed the real-time monitoring data of Niki on the screen, he asked his question.

Are you clear about the specifics of Lhapi?

"..."

As Phoenix finished speaking, Yin Hua's already unpleasant expression became even more gloomy.

That jerk! He replies to her messages at a snail's pace, and the reason he asks for her help is so annoying.

Didn't he know he had a grudge against that "traitor"?

tick-

Despite his anger, the special forces captain, who clearly distinguished between public and private matters, eventually reached out and operated the system interface of the control panel, directly using the Pure Land of Bliss's internal network to forcibly connect to Labi's headset.

"Come to the backstage area of ​​the training ground. I need to see you within five minutes."

Chapter 309 The Complete Awakening of the Musician

If Lhapi were to write down the name of the person she least wanted to see, Yinhua would have a 99% chance of winning that honor.

As for the reason, it's still that same old story from the past.

—Lavi was a deserter when he was in the special forces.

At that time, the battle between them and Lecher was extremely intense. A stray shot from Lapi pierced through the concrete wall and shattered the abdomen of a scavenging civilian hiding behind it.

The screams lasted only a few seconds.

In that instant, amidst the raging battle, the girl, whose heart was filled with human compassion, showed signs of a shift in her thinking. In a state of confusion, she stumbled away from the still-unresolved battlefield, leaving three members of the special forces to spend an entire day searching for her body in the ruins after the battle ended.

Afterwards, the prosthetic hands of Yin Hua, Emma, ​​and Bestie were all replaced due to severe wear and tear.

The girl who escaped the battlefield appeared unharmed in the armory of Elysium...

……

Because of this, whenever Lhapi encounters Yinhua, the guilt hidden deep in his heart quickly creeps over his entire body, constantly tormenting his spirit.

Add to that the captain's mouth, which even Shuen fears, and the torture is far more than just doubled.

Apologize, keep apologizing until the other person begs you not to apologize anymore.

As he walked toward the training ground, a voice that didn't belong to him suddenly rang in Lhapi's mind.

It's normal for friends to have disagreements; just talk it out. Here's what we'll do: as soon as we enter the room, we'll do a dogeza (a deep, prostration position), silencing her before she can even begin to mock us.

"..."

The girl silently chose to continue walking forward, completely ignoring the outrageous remarks made by Niki, who was symbiotic with her in her mind.

laugh--

Four minutes and thirty-three seconds later

Following Yin Hua's instructions, Lapi successfully arrived at the backstage of Niki's training ground. Upon opening the door, he saw his commander and former captain discussing Niki's individual training plans in a cheerful atmosphere.

Yes, they are very happy together...

Looking across the Ark, only Emma and Ingrid had previously been able to get along with Yin Hua to this extent.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his title as commander.

"Dogeza? If you can't bring yourself to dogeza, I can do it for you!"

Amidst Little Red Riding Hood's brainwashing-like nagging, Lhabi, who wanted to report, almost blurted out "Buddha's reverence."

Fortunately, her silence and pursed lips were consistent with her awkward personality, so she did not arouse the suspicion of Phoenix and Yin Hua.

"How are you feeling? What did Ingrid tell you?"

Seeing his adjutant looking hesitant, the lieutenant casually put down his tablet, walked up to Lapi in front of him, and looked down at his subordinate's eyes, despite Yin Hua's subconscious sidelong glance.

In fact, Labi has very alluring eyes.

If you look closely, you'll find that no matter how meticulous a young girl's expression is, or how serious and reserved her personality is, the innate charm she exudes can still overpower a viper who likes to act coquettishly.

[Oh—! Is he planning to kiss you?! Does this scumbag commander intend to take you and Anise together, and then spend every night with you?!]

"..."
