NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

“But the snake’s last sentence was also about dating.” The little girl’s tone was natural and innocent, which acted as a catalyst, further amplifying her armor-piercing ability.

"Are you so angry because the commander doesn't like you?"

Viper: "..."

Chapter 75 I Can't Live Like This Anymore

Yuni's words were like a simple, unadorned club, striking the head of a viper already mired in a swamp of jealousy, causing it to sink even deeper.

then,

The atmosphere, which should have become increasingly tense, gradually turned into an unspeakable awkwardness after the woman completely broke down.

Anise, who is usually quick to criticize, surprisingly refrained from adding insult to injury. Instead, she turned around with a pale face and sat back down in the corner of the mini bar.

There, the commander had specially prepared carbonated drinks and beer for her.

Only there could she feel a sliver of security.

Anise didn't want to accept the snake's point of view, but logic and reason kept telling her that the snake's long-winded accusations were correct.

Why is this so?

Logically speaking, she should have been able to discover the Commander's intentions and predicament herself.

But why didn't she notice such important information until this woman pointed it out?

why?

"...It's probably because he never showed any inclination to rely on us."

The chestnut-haired girl recalled the only night she spent with the Commander, and a bitter smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

"Actually, Commander, my first mission wasn't with my unit. I was with Lapi..."

My squad and the commander met by chance in the K region. At that time... he was the only one there.

One man, wielding a semi-automatic sniper rifle used by humans, killed many Lechers until he ran out of food…

At this point, regardless of how complicated Viper's expression was, Yuni, who often went on missions on the ground, widened her watery eyes after hearing Anise's words.

The little girl understood the difficulty and danger implied in those words better than a venomous snake.

She thought it was already impressive that the commander could control Shuen, but she never expected that the commander was far more outrageous than she thought.

"He always solves problems by himself."

After finishing her self-reflection, Anise looked up at the serpent's still resentful eyes and gave her answer.

"He never discusses plans with us; he always manages to arrange everything perfectly. Most importantly, he has never made a wrong decision, so I..."

"So you developed mental inertia."

Hearing Anise's self-reflection, the wicked woman's tone was full of indifference and pity.

"Heh, if you intend to continue with this soldier's mentality, I advise you to just leave him."

Otherwise, he will be dragged down by you sooner or later.

Then he was needlessly killed by those guys from Ark.

……

……

Swish-!

After changing into bionic skin, I treated Pepper and Merry to afternoon tea.

Having finally escaped from the hospital, Phoenix opened his front door and the scene behind it made him wish he could turn back time five seconds and give him a chance to change his mind.

This door must not be opened.

Just imagine.

Exhausted, you return home, slowly open the door, step through the entryway with a sense of security, and turn to look into the living room.

Then...

A group of women stood in the room, the atmosphere tense, their five beautiful eyes staring intently at you like ghosts, motionless.

That oppressive force

Most people couldn't withstand it for more than a few seconds.

Not to mention the person who just kissed Mihara in public at the hospital.

My heart, though I can't quite understand what happened, is so weak that it's retreated into my stomach. How could it possibly withstand such a severe test?

Therefore, the man who was planning to slip away awkwardly forced a smirk and quickly said:

"Everyone must be hungry... Um, I'll go to the supermarket and buy some groceries to cook you dinner."

After saying that, the stay-at-home husband thought about running away.

However, their heels had barely left the ground an inch when Anise, Viper, and Yuni shouted in unison:

"Commander! Let's go together!"

"Honey, I want to go too."

"Supermarket? Yuni wants to go to the supermarket too! Yuni wants to buy lots and lots of ice cream!"

"..."

"???"

……

……

Fifteen minutes later,

A peculiar sight has appeared at Fangzhou United Supermarket.

A man with a very bad complexion was seen being accompanied by six women, all wearing masks, shopping for Perpetual ingredients in the supermarket as if they were buying stock.

Because everyone insisted on coming along, no one was responsible for keeping an eye on the two Nikkis at home, who were in danger.

Left with no other choice, Phoenix had to bring both D and K along, and reluctantly and under the watchful eyes of countless people, he arrived at the supermarket.

"Commander, look! A new carbonated beverage that just launched these past two days!"

"purchase."

"Commander, Yuni wants to eat this ice cream!"

"purchase!"

"Eh~ Commander, what kind of ingredient is this?"

"purchase!!"

"Dear~"

"purchase!!!"

Looking at the three large truckloads of food and snacks, Phoenix felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

—The days ahead are probably going to be unbearable.

I don't know if Viper drank some fake alcohol today, but this woman suddenly started imitating Mihara's behavior, and whenever she found an opportunity, she would rush towards him.

and then,

One of Mihara and Anis would definitely stay by his side, trying every excuse to drag him aside, as if she were afraid that she would be taken advantage of by another woman.

"If all else fails, let's have hot pot."

Phoenix was scared.

He was genuinely scared from the bottom of his heart.

The commander still couldn't figure out why, while he was out for a short while, the tension between these women suddenly became even stronger than it had been the night before.

Ironically, Anise and Mihara, who should have been arguing the most, had become inexplicably closer.

Damn it.

They weren't shopping at the supermarket at all.

I don't know,

I thought these women, rambling on and on, were deciding who would come to the supermarket tonight.

Chapter Seventy-Six MMR Affiliated High School

Hot pot is a type of food with a low ceiling and a high floor.

If I had to pinpoint a characteristic of hot pot, it would be the atmosphere that rarely gets dull and the relatively long dining time.
