NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

In the eyes of children, the world always has too many mysteries.

Why is there the Ark? Why is there Letcher? Why do humans always fight over trivial matters? Why are there some things that adults can do but children can't? Why did the commander take her away from the Ark?

Marianne doesn't understand the logic of how the world works.

But she only needs to know one thing, that is, she likes the commander and the commander likes her too.

Seeing her silly look, Green smiled and said softly, "Marianne, it's not that you are an adult just because you always do adult things, drink coffee like an adult, and work like an adult."

"So, how do I become an adult, Commander?"

“When one day you no longer shed tears because of sadness, and no longer become haggard because of separation, you will become a man who stands tall and proud.”

"But I don't want to stand on my own two feet, nor do I want to be separated from the Commander." Marian stretched out her hands and hugged his shoulders tightly. "As long as you are by my side, that's enough for me."

Marianne, am I not the same?

Green patted her on the back gently.

When did he start to be obsessed with liberating Nikki?

Maybe it's because of her.

In this cruel apocalypse, obviously no one wants to die, everyone wants to live, but in the face of erosion, she chose to sacrifice without hesitation. Even though the person standing in front of her was just a commander she had only known for a short time, she still firmly chose death.

He sacrificed everything for humanity, dedicated everything, but in the end he was still lying alone on the ground, and even his remains could not be taken back for burial.

What kind of "Goddess of Victory" is this?

and so.

My dear Nikki, Marianne.

As an adult, I will protect you.

No one, whether it's Letcher or human, can hurt you. I will give you a place to settle down and a home where you can live happily. Although I can't do it now, one day, I will make it all happen for you.

"Marian, listen carefully."

"If one day in the future we have to part, please believe that I will find you no matter what."

"This is my agreement with you."

"A promise made by an adult to you."

Green whispered in Marian's ear.

Marianne seemed to understand something, but not quite.

But in the end, she still smiled gently and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, I understand, Commander. I believe you will come find me! Let's make a pinky promise!"

"Okay, we'll make a pinky promise and never change for a hundred years."

"Commander, a hundred years is too short. I want forever!"

"Okay, I promise you, the promises made by the adults will never change."

After Marian stayed in Green's bed for a while, she happily lay down on the pillow and fell asleep. She has always been so casual. She would sleep when she was tired of playing and eat when she woke up. She did whatever she thought of, but her weird brain circuits always made her do some strange things.

Sprinkle flour on yourself to take a bath, or roll in a stinky ditch.

In order to make herself look more attractive in front of the commander, she deliberately wore her underwear outside.

And they often ask why continuously.

So much so that even Rabbi sometimes found it difficult to explain some issues to her.

But that’s fine.

At least during the time she spent in the counterattack force, she was well protected by everyone.

But due to her identity as a "heretic", not only will the Ark keep pestering her, but Letcher is also ready to make a move and may send a more powerful enemy to attack Green. How can he protect her in this battlefield full of conspiracies and intrigues?

Lean back on a soft reclining chair.

Green felt as if two heavy mountains were pressing on his shoulders.

He needed a retreat, a place where Marianne could be taken care of.

But the Ark is not a place where Marianne can live for long, and the same goes for Paradise. Although Dorothy seems to have untied the knot in her heart, Green knows that the tumor in her heart is not so easy to remove. If Marianne is fostered here, Dorothy will definitely not miss the opportunity to analyze the heretic, and may even incite Marianne to take a path that is not so innocent.

"Is it all up to Snow White and the others?"

"..."

"Unless it's absolutely necessary, I still want to keep her by my side." Green shook his head. He wanted to try again. After all, he returned with the intelligence of the heretics and the optical camouflage technology of Paradise. Such a great achievement might be enough to shut up those Ark dignitaries.

But if it can't be blocked.

He didn't mind giving Fang Zhou a little hard work.

......

There is still one month left before the mother whale battle.

Half a month passed quickly.

There is only one month left in paradise.

As usual, Green led the counterattack troops out every day to collect samples, record flora and fauna, and occasionally harass Dorothy.

But somehow.

From that day on, Dorothy seemed to keep her distance.

It seemed like she always had something on her mind that she didn't want Green to hear.

"Dorothy."

"Commander, it's you."

"Sorry, I have some things to take care of. I have to go."

As soon as Dorothy saw Green, she hurried away and disappeared.

the next day.

"Dorothy."

"Commander, you're here again?"

"I'm about to go deal with a group of Letchers heading to Paradise. Let's talk next time."

Dorothy flew away again.

Day three.

"Dorothy."

"Commander, I've been overworked lately and am ill. Please forgive me for not hosting you well."

Dorothy made an excuse for herself and turned and flew away.

Green looked up at her departing back and shook his head.

Miss Doro is still so difficult to deal with.

Dorothy, who was flying in the sky, also had complicated feelings.

Just like she said before.

She is no longer Dorothy from the Goddess Corps. Even if they recognize each other now, Dorothy doesn't know how to get along with Green. Can they fight Letcher together as innocently as before?

It's impossible to go back.

People's hearts are complicated. Once a grudge is formed, there is no way back to the way it was before.

And Dorothy knew how much she was hated.

After all, even some of her old teammates have become strangers to her, so how can she expect so-called forgiveness?

Want to love, but afraid of being loved.

I want to forgive, but I force myself not to forgive.

Dorothy has come this far just for the sake of her heart, but when she looks back, she realizes that there is no turning back.

"Commander, I'm sorry, I'm preoccupied and don't dare to talk to you any further."

"I long for human love, yet I dare not accept it wholeheartedly. Because I am afraid, I am cowardly, I am scared, I am despicable, I am shameless. I have abandoned the reasons for fighting for humanity, I have betrayed the comrades who once trusted me, and I have lived wholeheartedly for my obsession. Only then have I achieved what I have today. Tell me, how can I let go so easily?"

"I am no longer the goddess of victory, Commander."

"So please don't get too close to me."

"I don't care about other people's contempt, but I just don't want you to look down on me."

Dorothy was floating in the sky, looking back at Green's lonely figure. She clenched her fists slightly, and a hint of bitterness appeared in the corners of her eyes.

If the captain and Little Red Riding Hood were still alive.

With them around, she might be able to let go of her obsession and rebuild the Goddess Army.

but...

The man is dead.

The Commander has a new Nikki by his side.

But she was left with only hatred in her heart.

What else?

Even though she has always been a half-baked person, now she can only go on with her own way.

.......

There are still twenty days until the Mother Whale Battle.

Today's class is physical training.

On a certain sandy ground, all members of the counterattack force and the successor force were present, watching the training match between John and Green.

The specific content of the training is: 5,000-meter obstacle race and combat training.

Nikki naturally didn't participate. The Nikkis of Fang Zhou's generation didn't need to exercise at all. Even if they lay in bed all day eating and drinking like Anis, there would be no problems with their bodies.

But it’s different for humans. If they don’t exercise regularly, they will become obese, and if they don’t exercise regularly, their physical fitness will also weaken.

So John and Green planned a training session and a competition to see how the two of them fared.

"John, I have a question. Does a body made of machinery also need training?" After taking off his uniform and wearing only a vest, Green warmed up a little and turned to look at John beside him.

"Ah."

"of course."

"Although my body is made of machinery, it's slightly different from Nikki's. A metal body will rust without regular exercise." John twisted his wrist and explained, "That's perfect. I also want to test your abilities. Human flesh versus a metal body, who do you think is stronger?"

Before Green could answer, Anis yelled, "How can a well-trained body be weaker than a machine? The Commander must be stronger!"

Nian also said with a smile: "Master runs very fast, and he also has the legendary hidden prop: exoskeleton mechanical legs. As long as he wears that equipment, he can run a hundred miles a day without taking a breath!"

Rabbi and Marianne shouted in support.

"Commander, come on!"

"Commander, give it your all."

Green nodded to Marian and the others, then looked at the four on the other side.

Isabel was sitting on a rock, happily watching the game. When she noticed his gaze, she couldn't help but look at him with concern: "My love, just play the game. I will help you throw bricks at John from the sky."

"......"

John almost stumbled when he heard this.

Harlan, who was standing nearby, smiled gracefully and advised, "Don't throw bricks. John will die."

Isabel refused resolutely: "No, to protect my love, I am willing to do it even if my hands are stained with blood!"

Green shook his head. "It's just a normal game. Don't really throw bricks at him, Isabel."

Harlan agreed, "Yes, I don't think we need to worry too much. Don't look at the servant's appearance. He is very tenacious. Even John may not be able to defeat him."

Nuoya chuckled and added fuel to the fire, "Fighting is the most fun. How many rounds do you plan to have to decide the winner? Just one would be too boring."
