NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

If it weren't for Little Red Riding Hood's words, Lapi wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with the commander's behavior when he was looking at her at close range.

Because the lieutenant's eyes were very clear and bright, full of observation and scrutiny.

However, after being disturbed by the amused man, and recalling that sleepless night when Anise pounded on the wall, the girl's cheeks instantly turned as red as a bright apple. Then, she instinctively tilted her head slightly, her eyes darting around, and said:

"...What are your orders, Commander?"

"?"

Not only did Phoenix notice Lapi's unnatural behavior that violated his persona at that moment, but even Yin Hua, who was secretly annoyed, noticed the traitor's strange words.

Not only did she give an irrelevant answer, but why was she acting all shy for no reason?

"Is that Little Red Riding Hood from the Goddess Corps spouting nonsense in your head again?"

The former captain couldn't help but frown and interject. She didn't know much about dual-core prosthetics. She had only recently learned from Ingrid that Labi and Little Red Riding Hood, who belonged to the Goddess Force, had been sharing a prosthetic body.

Once Labi uses the Niki Core belonging to Little Red Riding Hood, the fragments of Little Red Riding Hood's consciousness stored within the core will awaken in a manner similar to a "soul," gradually eroding Labi's consciousness and brain.

This process cannot be effectively controlled by individual will.

Even though Lapi tried to resist, Little Red Riding Hood herself was unwilling to usurp the body, and the activated fairytale-type Niki core would still domineeringly continue to seize control of the prosthetic body.

Only the suppressant developed by Pure Land of Bliss can forcibly shut down the operation of this core.

however……

"The effectiveness of the pressure-relieving agent has been reduced."

After explaining the details of the dual-core system to Phoenix, Lapi, who had been bowing his head, finally brought up the issue of consciousness erosion that the lieutenant was most concerned about.

"According to Mana, there are unknown nanoscale substances surrounding Little Red Riding Hood's core. These substances effectively hinder the flow of the compression agent, causing Little Red Riding Hood's core to remain in a state where it is difficult to advance further, but it cannot be shut down either."

After the girl finished speaking, she paused to allow Phoenix and Yin Hua to process the information in their minds before continuing:

"We... our current state is like a dual-system computer, where she and I can switch control of our bodies at any time."

As for Little Red Riding Hood... she's very friendly.

We've negotiated; she's willing to remain a spectator unless I explicitly request her military assistance.

"So you can now communicate with her in real time, and you need to maintain the concentration of the suppressant in your body at all times?"

Phoenix was very quick-witted. He immediately realized that Lapi's current state had completely exceeded the intensity of the original plot. The only drawback was that he would have to carry a sufficient amount of suppressant with him.

Did Mana tell you how much pressure medication you need per day?

“Eight milliliters.” The girl said as if she knew them by heart, “A more precise statement would be that the amount of the pressure-relieving agent in my body must not exceed twelve milliliters, and at the same time, it cannot be less than eight milliliters.”

The hourly consumption of the medication fluctuates between 0.3 and 0.4 milliliters, and this number will increase ten to eleven times after Little Red Riding Hood takes control of the body.

"Understood." The lieutenant nodded. "Have Little Red Riding Hood come out and talk to me."

Lhabi: "Huh?"

Little Red Riding Hood: [Haha—this man is really straightforward, completely different from those effeminate guys in Ark who talk in circles. Lapi, my intuition tells me that if you ever bow down to him, you'll be in for a surprise…]

"Dorothy is on the Ark; she wants to see you. So does Red Lotus. Oh, and Snow White is injured..."

brush--!

The moment the man uttered "Bai Xue is injured," the training room backstage was instantly engulfed by an extremely pure red light.

Next second,

Lhabi is no longer here.

Inside the room, a strikingly beautiful red-haired woman stared into the lieutenant's emerald eyes and asked, enunciating each word clearly:

Where is Bai Xue?

Chapter 310 The Forgotten Nun

After some conversation, Little Red Riding Hood, who seemed carefree, exceeded Phoenix's expectations.

Upon hearing that Bai Xue had chosen to go to Eden for treatment due to core damage, the woman immediately changed her serious expression, grinned, and hooked her arm around the man's neck, teasing him again with a giggle:

"Hey Lieutenant, you're really popular with women!"

The fact that the captain could reunite the disbanded Goddess Squad is something that even back in our day, probably only the captain could have done.

Eh!

You've mentioned Dorothy, Red Lotus, and Snow White, but what about the long-haired one? The blonde, wavy-haired, compassionate church saint.

A silly nun with an incredibly erotic bust.

"..."

After Little Red Riding Hood's reminder, Phoenix remembered the story about Rapunzel.

To be honest, he almost forgot that there was a church saint in the Goddess Force who was in charge of medical care and protection.

A seemingly respectable but actually perverted nun whose mind is full of lewd thoughts.

"I didn't encounter her on the surface."

Feeling his neck tightening, Phoenix reluctantly reached out and pried open Little Red Riding Hood's right arm, then said, half-jokingly:

"Don't worry too much. Dorothy told me that she's been doing quite well on the surface all these years, mainly burying Niki's remains, which were left to rot in the wilderness."

"I'll go find her on the surface after I finish everything I'm doing. She's been fine all these years, so there's no rush."

"Oh—! As expected of the commander that Labi has been longing for! Hmm, responsible! Very responsible!"

She gently patted the man's shoulder, and Little Red Riding Hood's expression, which had been one of surprise and delight, suddenly turned extremely lewd. She put her hand to her mouth, as if to whisper something, and said in a sly tone:

"I'll tell you a secret, when you find Long Hair, don't be fooled by her innocent and reserved appearance. My intuition tells me she's very...adult-oriented..."

"Hey, are you done with the important stuff? If you're done, hurry up and get out of here. Phoenix and I have something to discuss."

Upon hearing that Little Red Riding Hood wanted to introduce a busty man to someone, the foul-mouthed washboard, who had been listening for a while, finally couldn't contain her annoyance and raised her eyebrows, urging him on.

"Do you really think the raw materials for making compressed formulations are common, readily available commodities?"

"Hmm~?"

Faced with Yin Hua's blatant targeting, Little Red Riding Hood gave a long, sarcastic snort.

Before becoming Niki, she was a seasoned homeless person in the neighborhood. Her years of experience on the streets gave her exceptionally high emotional intelligence in interpersonal relationships.

That's why, the moment Yin Hua opened her mouth, Little Red Riding Hood could easily smell the faint scent of vinegar in the air.

then……

Snapped!

With a muffled thud, the voluptuous woman turned and lunged forward in two quick steps, forcefully grabbing Yin Hua, who was standing to the side, with lightning speed.

"you!"

Before the girl could make a corresponding move to break free, she suddenly heard a very slight threat.

"Shh~"

"Lapi has apologized to you so many times, so stop putting on airs with her. Otherwise, I might secretly spread the word that you have a crush on the Commander!"

"!!!"

Yin Hua's attempt to throw the girl over her shoulder paused for a second. Sensing the girl's stiff body, Little Red Riding Hood, whose plan had succeeded, burst into laughter again. Then, she patted the foul-mouthed girl on the shoulder and winked at Phoenix.

"Lieutenant, remember to get rid of the long hair. Let's keep the good stuff in the family!"

Swish-!

After the woman finished speaking, the red light inside the room shone again.

Immediately, the replaced Lapi, her face flushed, released her grip on Yin Hua's shoulder. She first looked at her commander, then glanced at her former captain. Unsure of what to say, the artsy girl pursed her lips, awkwardly took two steps back, and tried to disguise herself as an emotionless wooden stake.

……

……

"So that's why you sneaked into my room in the middle of the night?"

In the penthouse of the Tower of Bliss, Ingrid, who had been busy all day, wore a bathrobe, crossed her arms, and stared coldly at the dead man sitting on the sofa scratching his head.

"Did you kidnap Shuen?"

"Ah."

Why didn't you call me?

"...Well, the phone broke when it was on the ground, and your private phone number is set to reject unknown numbers by default."

"You only think of contacting me now? I suppose you need my help with something?"

"Uh……"

For some reason, Phoenix, feeling uneasy, suddenly had a surge of survival instinct and didn't follow Ingrid's lead to tell her that his purpose for coming was to find her and seek Sen's key.

The man frowned, pondering the matter, and finally glanced at the woman's beautiful face before tentatively saying:

"I just wanted to come and see you..."

Boom-! ! !
