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

"Young Master is really good at flirting~"

Honglian's pretty face turned slightly red, and she deliberately turned her head away slightly, but soon her eyes fell on him again.

The two of them ate dinner while enjoying the evening breeze.

When the moon rose to the top of the sky, Honglian took two bottles of wine from the wooden house and poured them each.

"I really should quit drinking." Green said, shaking the wine in the glass.

"Why?" Honglian raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile.

"Because drinking will make me drunk, and when I'm drunk, it will delay my appreciation of the girl in front of me."

"Master, you always say flirtatious words, but you don't know that I am also a shy woman~"

A faint blush appeared on Honglian's elegant face.

Although she is reserved, who doesn't like sweet compliments?

The two of them sat together and drank under the moon.

After two or three glasses of wine, Honglian suddenly looked reminiscent. "Speaking of the past, my sister also drank with me. Even though my mind has changed many times and I have forgotten many memories, I have never forgotten that time."

"Sister?"

"When did Honglian have a sister?"

"That was a long time ago, Master. Do you want to hear it?"

"think."

Honglian, slightly tipsy, slowly recalled the past.

"A long time ago, there were a pair of sisters who were made into Nikki. The elder sister was named Qianghua, and the younger sister was named Honglian. They were mass-produced Nikki, of which only ten were members, and they were part of the melee unit."

"Unlike most Nikkis who fight Letcher with guns, we are all specialized in close combat, using our blades to slash Letcher. Therefore, diligent swordsmanship training is a part of our sisters' daily lives."

"Qianghua's swordsmanship is incredible. Even though Honglian has fought her over nine hundred times, she has never been able to defeat her sister. Unwilling to give up, she vowed to surpass Qianghua one day."

"But Qianghua smiled and comforted her: No flower stays red for ten days, nothing is ever permanent, and one day, Honglian will defeat her."

"Since then, melee troops have been deployed into the battle. The two sisters fought together, slaying countless Leichers and achieving remarkable military exploits. However, no matter how hard they tried, the supplies they received from the Ark became increasingly scarce."

"From that day on, the close combat forces were in trouble."

"The team members either died in battle or fell into a state of mindset, going mad. It was then that Honglian and Qianghua drank together on the ground. Her sister's carefree mood infected Honglian, and she became more determined."

"But even the strongest determination cannot survive the endless Letcher."

"Seeing supplies dwindling and her comrades dying in increasing numbers, Qianghua questioned the officer in charge of the melee unit, asking why they hadn't provided supplies and reinforcements. From the officer, she learned the truth."

"The so-called melee troops were created from the very beginning solely for the purpose of breeding Gu. Their bodies, forcibly modified into melee combat models, are inherently fragile as paper and will never be mass-produced. Ark only wants to obtain the specimen of the most powerful Nikki, and will leave them to fend for themselves."

"After revealing the truth, the officer began to try to persuade Qianghua. He told her not to worry about the so-called sisterhood. As the strongest of the ten, she should have been the final winner and received the Ark's transformation, becoming a prototype comparable to the Goddess Army. However, Qianghua rejected this proposal."

"She didn't believe humans would grant them eternity, so she blindfolded the officer, imagined him to be Letcher, and killed him with a single blow."

"But is that freedom?"

"Niki, who was supposed to protect humanity, killed humans. Once Ark learns of this, they will definitely do their utmost to destroy this unit."

"Qianghua knew she had sinned deeply and was unable to protect her stubborn sister from the Ark's pursuit on her own. So, she drew her sword against Honglian in the name of betrayal. Admittedly, this was not her original intention, but she wanted to give her sister a reason to live."

"The two of them engaged in a fierce battle, swords flashing and sabers flashing. Honglian seized upon Qianghua's weakness and stabbed her in the core. But at the last moment, Honglian hesitated, unable to bring herself to strike. However, Qianghua took the initiative to step forward, allowing the sharp blade to pierce her core."

"Before leaving, Qianghua said to her sister who was crying bitterly."

"You must become strong, so strong that no one can control you. This is where our story ends."

The memories come to an end.

There was a hint of sadness in Honglian's eyes.

She originally thought that her sister had truly betrayed humanity, but it wasn't until much later that she understood the real story.

But by then, knowing the truth, what else could she do? Seeking death was never Honglian's nature. She could only carry this faint melancholy and continue to live in this cruel world.

"Later, the Ark defined this as a civil war."

"I luckily survived the fighting and left the unit. After a long journey, I finally learned the truth about the melee unit."

"It was also from that day that I understood what my sister had given up and what she had protected."

Honglian slowly recounted the past, and before she knew it, the wine glass was empty again.

Green listened to her story and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you hate it?"

Honglian smiled and asked, "Who do you hate?"

"The Ark that raises Gu, betrays you humans."

“Perhaps once.”

"But, Master, do you still remember what you said before?"

"You said there are always things in the world that never change, and that thing is me. In my opinion, that's wrong." Honglian poured a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Over the years, whether it's sadness or resentment, they will be worn away by time."

"As the rose says, no flower stays red for ten days. There is nothing in this world that will never change."

"When I used to drink, I often missed my sister's appearance. But now, so many years have passed, and the emotions I felt then have faded with time, becoming a memory. Even with a cup of muddy wine, even with countless sorrows, by the end, the image in my mind has become a little blurry."

"..."

"So, Master, instead of lamenting the past, it is better to seize the present. The world is changing, and you and I should hold hands and move forward."

"Another drink?"

"it is good."

“Cheers to our still blooming red years!”

when!

The glasses clink.

The two of them sat together and drank this last cup together.

The wine brewed by Honglian is not very tasty. After all, wine is not a refreshing sweet drink.

When it entered his throat, he only thought of two words: bitter and spicy.

Honglian blushed slightly, leaning on his shoulder, and asked drunkenly, "Master, how does this wine taste?"

Green's face was full of complexities as he said, "It's bitter."

She chuckled softly, a hint of the pride of someone who has experienced it in her eyes: "It's hard, just like life."

“But life isn’t always bitter.”

"Why not try the sweet part?"

The stars shine as brightly as the sun and the moon.

Just at the time of daybreak and dusk, Honglian came up drunkenly, her pretty and elegant face showing a hint of drunken blush and shyness.

Green smiled slightly, he leaned down and kissed Honglian's lips.

It has both the spiciness and bitterness of the past and the hot sweetness of the present.

After the kiss, she smiled subtly and whispered in his ear, "Tonight, let's forget all that. You are not the commander of the Ark, and I am not Nikki, who carries a grudge."

"Who are we then?"

"How about a farm couple who elope to the surface and work from sunrise to sunset?"

"Ah~ Master, you suddenly touched me, are you into the role so quickly?"

"Go back inside."

"I'm drunk, my legs feel like they're filled with lead. Master, I need you to carry me. Is there a farmer in this world who can't carry his wife?"

Under the night.

Green walked down the mountain step by step with difficulty, carrying the extremely heavy Honglian in his arms. Honglian smiled jokingly, holding a glass of unfinished wine in his hand, and drank happily.

Not long after.

Inside the wooden house, on the soft bedding, the two of them hugged each other tightly, and sweet sounds came from the house.

.......

Day two.

When Green woke up, Honglian was still sleeping soundly on the bed with her butt raised.

But she had never really fallen asleep. Green only moved slightly, and Honglian opened her eyes with a smug smile on her face: "Master, did you sleep well?"

"Thanks to you, I feel like dying."

Green looked at the few scars remaining on his body.

Nikki was indeed too heavy, and Honglian was drunk and didn't take things lightly, almost breaking his bones.

Honglian touched her hair and pretended to smile foolishly, "Oh, I was too drunk last night. I probably didn't control myself, so I got the young master hurt. This is truly a serious sin. I must drink three glasses of wine as punishment."

"But how can I drink without my husband?"

"Let's drink together while we're feeling refreshed."

"You just got up, drink less."

"The contents of the cup must be taken away." Honglian's fingers gently scratched his chest, and the gentle smile on her face carried a hint of the charm of a taster: "Unless, young master can come up with something to replace it."

"Let's drink." Green was about to get up from the bed when Honglian immediately reached out and pulled him back into the quilt.

"Master, why are you running?"

"In my opinion, your body needs some exercise. Let me teach you how to enjoy using it."

The two of them fought fiercely in the cabin until the afternoon, when the drunkard put on his shoes and socks in a daze, stretched lazily, and walked out of the cabin.

"The breeze is refreshing, but my clothes need to be washed."

"Master, let's go take a bath together."

Wow.

Green sank his body into the cold water to dispel the aftereffects of his hangover.

As for Honglian, she might have been lonely for too long. He had just found a stone to sit on in the stream when she jumped into the stream and leaned against him and started flirting with him again.

"Honglian, have you never been drunk before?"

"Master, why do you say that?"

"It's not like I haven't seen drunk women before, but I've never seen one like you. You say you're drunk, but you're never vague about what you do."

"What's the point of saying this now? Didn't the young master still volunteer to drink with me?" Honglian laughed tremblingly, hugged his neck, gently twisted his waist, then leaned over and whispered in his ear: "This is called a willing bait."

Green originally wanted to return to the Ark as soon as possible.

But Honglian is really clingy.

Originally, he thought Honglian was a dashing swordsman, and was quite clear-headed and peaceful in her dealings with others. However, he didn't expect that when they were alone, Honglian would cling to people like glue. Once you were stuck by her, you would have to spend a lot of time nurturing her before you could get her to loosen up a little.

The two of them stayed together in Honglian's small base for another day before setting out on their return journey.

"what..."

"From the afternoon to the early morning, I fought more than ten times a day. I always felt like my brain was floating like an immortal." Walking on the road, Honglian held up his hat and yawned lazily.

For her personally, being with someone who shares the same ideals as her allowed her to release all the pressure that had accumulated over the past hundred years, and she felt as if her soul had been elevated.

"I'm about the same."

"It's just that my body is about to become immortal."

Green rubbed the painful joints near his thigh.

Although the days with Honglian are happy, what is the price?

The price is that there will be a moment of trance occasionally, and you will feel like a brown bear is strengthening you.

It's so damn heavy.
