NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

If this person continues to attract attention at this rate, and the two women don't keep a close eye on him, then in a few months everyone will likely be in line.

There are far too many wolves roaming the forest.

There was only one piece of meat, yet its aroma could travel for miles.

Therefore, one wolf is destined not to be able to hold out; a pack of wolves must be formed to fight against other hungry wolves that have come looking for them by smell.

"commander."

The enlightenment ended in an instant. Mihara, who was waiting at the elevator entrance, hurriedly stepped forward, intentionally or unintentionally wedging D inside the elevator, and asked knowingly:

"How are your negotiations with Shuen going?"

"It's alright. I came up with a plan on the spot, and overall it's not beyond my expectations." Phoenix's thoughts were still on the details of the assassination plan, and he didn't pay attention to his wife's little tricks.

Mihara, however, continued to offer advice in a roundabout way:

"If you don't have any plans this afternoon, you can consider going to the hospital today to have the bionic skin on your right hand repaired."

However, the process of replacing your bionic skin may make you feel uncomfortable, so I will accompany you into the operating room.

Her words would likely be fine to most people. But to D, they sounded rather harsh.

How can you blame her for the bionic skin cracking?

Didn't this man willingly step forward to get hit?!

Just as the assassin was silently cursing in his heart, he heard Mihara's sarcastic words drifting over from the elevator entrance.

"Commander, if we're going to the hospital, please don't let her come along, okay?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hitting her again."

D: "?"

……

……

"That's hilarious. After all this time, you have no idea how many things your commander has done."

Inside the room, after listening to the conversation between Anis, Viper, and Yuni about the Commander, K, who had reviewed someone's background information, couldn't contain his excitement and said with a hint of superiority and mockery:

"The 505 target is not as simple as you naive people think."

No wonder you all looked so happy at breakfast; you had no idea what he was really like...

Snapped! ! !

Without giving K a chance to finish his nonsense, Yuni, annoyed by what she heard, immediately lashed out with her whip, causing the air to explode with a loud bang.

"Since the dog knows so much, let the dog tell us."

"……whispering sound."

The dog sniffed cheekily, not putting on airs at all. Apart from the internal assessment of Phoenix by the court, she recounted in detail all the glorious deeds that someone had done in the Ark these past few days.

Since the news had already been spread widely among the idle people in high society, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"You mean... he broke the record for Level 1 solitary confinement at the rehabilitation center?"

Viper, who had been reluctant to speak since breakfast, changed his expression slightly upon hearing the news that Phoenix had broken the lockout record. His emotions seemed to have been stirred, and he said excitedly:

"Don't make such a silly joke!"

The previous record holder was the former leader of 'Entering Heaven', who was imprisoned for a full 306 hours and 42 minutes and committed suicide in the rehabilitation center not long after his release.

You're actually telling me that he not only broke the record for Level 1 solitary confinement at the rehabilitation center, but he's also perfectly fine and seems like a normal person?

"Wow, you know a lot about this."

If it weren't for the fact that you're Niki, I would have suspected you were a spy from the Outer Edge.

K, despite being questioned, continued to shake his head and sway his body.

"But judging from your appearance, you really don't know anything about it. Do you think it's just as simple as breaking a record?"

Target No. 505 was actually approved for release only after 365 hours.

Attention! He was released with approval, not by surrendering himself.

Do you understand the value of this?

Moreover, he exceeded the previous leader's time by a full fifty-three hours, a record that few normal people will likely surpass in the future, not even Niki.

"Three hundred...sixty-five hours?"

Knowing all too well how agonizing Level One confinement was, Viper chuckled as if he'd heard a joke, and retorted:

"What secret could he possibly have that would make him endure this for half a month?"

"How would I know?"

Shrugging, K casually replied, "I heard... there were serious problems with the combat recorders and combat reports submitted to the military headquarters, leading the central government to believe that he was concealing important intelligence."

Concealing intelligence?

Upon hearing this, the viper's pupils instantly contracted to needle size, and she, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment, resisted the urge to turn and look at Anise.

NIMPH!!

Rocogres's NIMPH restriction issue was indeed related to that guy!

"Euni".

The woman, her mind filled with questions, pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Could you please turn off her audio-visual system?"

"Ow."

"what???"

Perhaps sensing the snake's seriousness, the little girl didn't refuse her request. She turned and glanced at the dog, and the moment it opened its mouth, she completely disabled all of its five senses.

"Only ten minutes, what does Viper want to say?"

Ignoring the dog's flailing arms on the sofa, Yuni curiously looked up and saw that the snake was glancing sideways at Rocogres's position.

"He removed the NIMPH restrictions for you on the ground?"

"But he didn't lift the NIMPH restrictions for Mihara and Yuni, so the conditions for lifting the restrictions are very strict, right? At the very least, it's not something that can be done with consumer-grade electronic products."

"But why would he remove the restrictions for you on the ground?"

What's the point? Losing NIMPH's restraints won't temporarily enhance Niki's combat capabilities, and she'll also face the risk of life imprisonment.

What makes you so special? What reason does he have to go to such lengths for you?!

The viper spoke extremely quickly, seemingly interrogating Anise, but the latter part gave one a different impression.

— It felt like "she was just expressing her thought process verbally."

"Yuni! Let's stay away from her!"

Faced with a question from a seemingly wicked woman that appeared to see right through her, Anise, her internal alarm bells rang, immediately took two steps back, her annoyance clearly visible on her face.

She could tell.

I could hear the surprise and resentment hidden beneath the intelligent woman's questioning...

And there was that intense jealousy, burning like a raging fire.

狼，

It's another wolf so hungry its eyes are practically glowing green.

Following the aroma, they stood in the distance of the dense forest, their eyes fixed hungrily on their own fragrant meat.

So annoying!

Did the Commander spray some strange hormone inducer in the room?

Why could he attract wolves to this place when no one was even here?

……

……

Ark Hospital headquarters, prosthetic body replacement operating room.

Under Merri's guidance and assistance, Pepper focused intently on cutting open the bionic skin located on the commander's shoulder.

Then, with a skillful, masterful knife work, he peeled off Phoenix's entire right arm's prosthetic skin bit by bit.

The scene was so shocking that it would make most people feel nauseous.

"Don't look at it."

Mihara, who had undergone countless prosthetic body replacements, held her man's head in her hands as he tried to turn it. Seeing him looking at her like a child getting a shot, and even attempting to glance at her, she simply leaned over and boldly stole a kiss on his lips in front of the two doctors.
