NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

Pepper, whose hands were still covered in protective fluid after tearing off the fake skin, blushed upon seeing such a shocking scene. In her excitement, she tore the bionic skin in her hands in two.

"You...you...you...you...get out of here!!!"

Chapter 74 Yuni's mouth can kill and destroy her spirit.

four hours.

Four whole hours.

From replacement to fixing, from fixing to covering, and from covering to applying makeup...

By the time all the procedures were finished, Phoenix, lying on the operating table, had already fallen asleep peacefully in Mihara's arms.

It's unclear whether he was genuinely exhausted or just looking for a perfect excuse to avoid Pepper's jealous gaze.

He didn't want to drink the milk he was forced to drink last night a second time.

……

Considering that the prosthetic body replacement operating room is used very infrequently, and that there are no clients scheduled for appointment today.

Therefore, hoping that the commander could get a good night's sleep, Mihara, Pepper, and Merry all tacitly found a chair, sat down, and took out their phones to start a face-to-face group chat.

Among them, the pink-haired doctor has the fastest typing speed...

It's also the most urgent.

[Pepper: Madam, if the Commander needs further adjustments to the prosthetic body, please wait in the waiting room outside. Please do not accompany him into the operating room.]

[Mihara: I'm very sorry, but my commander only recently got his cybernetic implant, and he's still adjusting to the discomfort it brings. I must stay by his side.]

Mihara: Please understand, doctor.

Can you please be understanding?

You call kissing in front of someone "being considerate"?

Upon seeing this message, the young doctor pursed her lips, which could hold an oil jug, and frantically started tapping on her phone screen at an all-time high.

[Pepper: But your behavior severely affected the doctor's concentration and led to a decrease in surgical precision!]

[Pepper: Ma'am, you have violated hospital regulations! Please cooperate with our investigation!]

[Pepper: By the way, Senior Merri! When family members are uncooperative, our Ark Hospital headquarters has the authority to temporarily detain them, right?]

goo-dong-

Pepper retracted a message.

[Pepper: Senior! When a patient's guardian is uncooperative, our Ark Hospital headquarters has the authority to temporarily detain the patient's guardian, right?]

[Merry: Hmm... While the hospital has this regulation, headquarters hasn't implemented any temporary restrictions on family members yet.]

[Pepper: Since there are regulations, we can choose to follow them! So please, this patient's guardian, stop causing trouble!]

"..."

Looking up at the little doctor's rapid-fire playing on the screen, Mihara, despite having prepared herself mentally, still couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly.

Another one?

Why do wolves appear wherever they go?

It doesn't make sense...

Her husband has only been on one mission, how could he have seduced so many Nikis in one go?

What if we send him on a few more missions in the future?

……

……

"If I'm not mistaken, he's only been on one mission in total, right?"

Seeing Anise and Eunice's alarmed expressions, Viper patiently leaned back on the sofa, casually nudging the still-fussy K to the other end, and said earnestly:

Are you genuinely slow-witted, or are you pretending not to see?

"……What do you mean?"

Seeing the wicked woman take the initiative to sit on the sofa and show weakness, Anise, who was ready to draw her gun at any moment, also relaxed her vigilance slightly.

"Pretend you can't see what?"

"They can't see his situation. Then they refuse to think about his problems."

Instead of delving deeper into the secret of "removing NIMPH restrictions," the viper pointed out incisively:

"Even if I don't know your specific experiences, do you think it's reasonable for a commander on his first mission to know how to remove NIMPH restrictions?"

The fact that he didn't take you directly back to the Ark already speaks volumes.

The method used to lift the restrictions is shady and most likely doesn't originate from central government technology.

And you, since you can't return to the Ark, yet you appeared in the outer edge of the Ark, it means you came down from one of those old elevators that lead from the ground to the outer edge.

With your prosthetic body, you think you can cross the ground alone? Who do you think would believe such nonsense?

But you definitely have help.

After saying this, the serpent paused, then stood up irritably, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and slowly walked towards Anise.

"but me."

"I haven't heard anything from the outer edge of the area."

Based on the NIMPH rule that Nikki cannot lie to humans, if the commander led the team to take you down the elevator, then your whereabouts would theoretically have been exposed long ago, and the Ark would not have failed to conduct a covert investigation of the outer perimeter.

Therefore, the helpers who traversed the ground for you were either Niki or humans living on the ground, right?

"...Are you playing some kind of mystery game, or just want to indulge your detective fantasies?"

Stunned by the woman's logical abilities, Anise suppressed her panic, gritted her teeth, and stubbornly took two steps forward, glaring at her defiantly.

"You know what? Usually, a character who has so many lines in one go is either the main character or a supporting character who is about to get killed off."

Which one do you think you would be?

"you……"

The venomous snake stared coldly into the girl's eyes, and after a few breaths, she let out a disdainful snort.

"...That's really stupid."

"I just can't understand what that guy saw in you. Does he like stupid people?"

"what?!"

Anise was furious when a venomous snake stepped on her tail; it was the first time she had ever heard anyone question her intelligence.

"Do you really think you're fighting amongst yourselves?!"

You have such an inflated sense of self-importance! Who's on your side anyway?

"If the commander truly considered you one of his own, he wouldn't have mentioned making a deal with you..."

"He practically risked his life to save you!!! Don't you even realize that?!"

Hearing Anise's spiteful words, the venomous snake, whose heart had also been touched, could no longer suppress the fire of jealousy in its heart, letting it rise and burn its soul and reason.

During breakfast today, that guy didn't say a single word to her!

At that moment, Viper felt like a shameless outsider who had come to freeload a meal, not even a guest, sitting dumbly in the corner of the table, watching the other family happily enjoy their food.

She didn't understand. Even K had been teased by him a few times, so why would this man refuse to even look at her?

He was risking his life to protect you!!!

The bad woman no longer cared about her sweet girl persona and started roaring in a frenzy.

"Have you ever considered that the person who risked their life to protect you would suddenly put you at risk, and even ask me to smuggle you back to the Ark from the outer perimeter?!"

Have you ever thought about it?!

If you haven't thought about it, let me tell you!

He felt he was in a very difficult situation! He needed a lot of help! He was almost at his wit's end! So he decided to call you back to help him!

But you stupid woman, you're still thinking about romance all the time.

Why? !

In what way am I inferior to you?!

Amidst the venomous snake's almost hysterical accusations, Anise, belatedly realizing what was happening, felt herself fall from the ice to the bottom of the river, forgetting even to breathe.

Yes……

What is she thinking...?

Regret and self-blame crept into the chestnut-haired girl's mind under the venomous snake's aggressive questioning. However, before they could cause any trouble, Yuni's unexpected words caused the wicked woman to break down her defenses at the same time.
