NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

Snapped!

……

The sudden sound of firecrackers coming through the earpiece startled Mihara, who was still lost in bliss.

"Commander, it seems that Yuni has also caught the stalker."

Is there another stalker?

Phoenix raised an eyebrow in confusion. In his memory, there were indeed two members of the Danger Seat in the original story. However, the other one had a very weak presence because he didn't have a card released before he quit the game.

Tsk, it feels like the game's storyline hasn't even started yet, and I've already messed up most of the prerequisites and characters that drive the plot?

"Then help me tie up that Niki, and then you go help Yuni."

Too lazy to think about the original plot, someone shook their head, feeling the return of rationality, and said:

"I still have things to talk to her about."

"Understood, Commander."

Having also composed herself, Mihara returned to her usual efficient work style. She turned and walked to the dressing table, took out a pre-prepared restraint belt from her trench coat, and tightly bound D, who was still unconscious.

Judging from the finished product, it is probably based on Uni's technique.

……

……

Two minutes later,

"Ha~ Mihara~"

Inside the bathroom, which was being squeezed into a three-person space, Yuni mischievously touched the corner of her mouth with her index finger and gave her best friend a sly reminder:

Your lipstick is smudged!

"Eh?!"

Chapter Sixty-Five: I Was Here First

Dirt and danger, ugliness and death—these are the eternal themes of the outer perimeter.

Even after living here for many years, the venomous snake still feels the same deep-seated disgust for this land as it did at the beginning.

She hated every human being on this land as much as she hated the three major corporations.

If the citizens of the Ark only saw Niki as a mechanical tool, then most of the gangs in the outer districts regarded Niki as a mobile bulletproof shield.

Inside and outside the walls, everyone deliberately chose to forget the fact that Niki was human in her previous life.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Whenever Viper thinks of the ugliness of human nature that arouses her nausea, the image of a certain unscrupulous commander will reappear in her mind.

This was the first man she had ever met who treated mass-produced Niki as a human being, or even as a vulnerable group.

What does he want?

The viper pondered the question but could not find an answer, so he decided to take advantage of this opportunity to try and extract information from the woman named Rocogres.

……

……

The unpainted cement brick walls, the relatively clean tables and chairs, and the murky air mixed with the smell of smoke and alcohol.

This is a typical budget fast food restaurant on the outskirts of the city. The bullet holes all over the walls seem to be decorations, adding a touch of art to the otherwise monotonous restaurant decor.

Even with such a terrible dining environment, the fast food restaurant was still so popular that all three floors were packed.

"Look, the Roccogres you're looking for is the owner of this shop."

At the entrance of the fast food restaurant, a news vendor wearing a gas mask and sporting a mohawk looked at the woman not far to his side and chuckled twice.

"Same as always, friend's price."

"Get it."

Beside him, the viper reached into his coat pocket, pulled out a small metal can, and with a flick of his wrist, tossed the can toward the other man's chest.

In the outer regions, currency can be replaced by many other items.

Among them, the most common are various high-purity analgesics.

Of course, the potent painkiller Pepper gave someone was definitely not included; it was a high-end, specially supplied drug, the kind that could cost the equivalent of two or three months' salary for an Ark civilian with just one injection.

Unlike the cheap goods obtained by the venomous snakes, these goods are not expensive in some of the shady hospitals in the Ark.

"I'm looking for your manager; I have some raw meat on hand."

A shrewd woman who frequents both the legitimate and criminal worlds scurried into the restaurant, glanced up at the security camera in the corner by the entrance, and said bluntly.

"And please pass on a message to Roccogres..."

……

……

"Hmph! Men are so lame!! They can't even walk past pretty girls!!!"

On the fourth floor of the fast food restaurant, a pitiful-looking Anise pouted and quickly packed her bags.

The so-called luggage was actually a bunch of junk food consisting of snacks, beer, and carbonated drinks.

Shila-

After stuffing the backpack until it resembled a middle-aged man's beer belly, the girl vented her frustration by violently zipping it up.

Immediately afterwards, she turned around and rummaged through the clutter in the drawer. After a while, she finally pulled out a box of washable hair dye from the bottles and jars.

She unscrewed the cap, walked towards the bathroom, put on rubber gloves, and scooped out large chunks of dye to apply to her chestnut-colored hair.

"She's already hooked up with two in just over half a month. What will she be doing hooking up with forty-eight in a year?!"

Ugh!

"So annoying! That jerk!!!"

Feeling like her home had been robbed, Anise quickly disguised herself, eager to get back to the Ark as fast as possible and tear the mistress apart.

If she had known that the Commander was such a womanizer, she should have taken advantage of his unconscious state to bite his left shoulder and leave her "Anis was here" mark.

Boom boom boom!

Just as Anise was about to run away, the errand boy's buzzing voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"Brother! A raw meat vendor came to the restaurant and asked me to pass on a message to you, something about... I'm sending it to Mingyue."

Um, let me listen to the recording again…

brush--!!!

Before the less educated errand boy could even review the recording, Anis, whose hair was patchy gray and yellow, frowned and flung open the door.

"No need to listen anymore, just bring him here!"

……

moment,

With Phoenix's endorsement, Viper was led to the fourth floor of the fast food restaurant by members of the Peony Society and successfully entered Rocco Grace's boudoir.

Soon, when she saw the backpack and luggage on the bed, as well as the dye that a girl hadn't had time to wash off, a certain answer vaguely appeared in Viper's mind.

A playful curve naturally appeared at the corner of her mouth.

If Rocogres had received advance notice, then the luggage should have been placed on the sofa, dining table, or floor, not in the center of the bed.

In other words, the girl in front of you is likely someone who just started packing her luggage today, or even just now.

Pack your bags without knowing when she will arrive?

Doesn't that mean that Roccogres herself already has the idea of ​​leaving?

What prompted her to do this?

"Oh my~ it seems you care about your darling too?"

Having guessed the answer, the wicked woman, with a "the more the merrier" mentality, secretly changed the way she addressed the perverted man.

"Actually, my darling cares about you a lot too~"

The words just fell...

Click!

Then there was a crisp sound.

Anis snapped a small, finger-thick support bar off the back of the plastic chair with her bare hands. The girl, sitting backwards, snorted and said irritably:

"Wow~ Did you know that your darling was shopping with another woman yesterday?"
