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

Green nodded: "Let's go pick up Marian."

Anis closed her eyes and said, "Looks like we've arrived."

Nian also echoed: "Let's go."

Rabbi: “….”

"it is good."

The three Nikkis from the counterattack force had no objection.

But when they thought that Marianne was no longer the Marianne of the past, the mood of the three of them became a little depressed.

For Nikki, memories are precious but fleeting.

Especially those beautiful memories that are worth reminiscing about again and again. I don’t want to forget them at all, but as long as NIMPH is still in my mind and as long as I am still working for the Ark Government, these memories will eventually disappear.

None of the three members of the counterattack force knew whether they would end up like Marian one day in the future.

As they walked along the road, Anis was the first to sigh.

"Oh, this feeling is terrible."

"It's like that idiom, 'When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.'"

"It's the death of the rabbit that makes the fox sad, stupid Anis." Nian corrected him, "We are not running dogs, and we will not roast Marianne on the barbecue, right?"

"That's what I said." Anis pursed her lips. "I just hope that one day, if my memory is erased, the commander will come to pick me up like he does now."

"Oh—Annis, so you want Master to get to know you again?"

Nien pushed his glasses and said, "But to be honest, it's really troublesome to deal with someone as sensitive and suspicious as you."

"Perhaps after your memory is erased, you'll still think of your master as a strange pervert: 'Ah, why did this man suddenly come over and hug me? Could he be a stalker?'"

This time, Anis didn't argue with Nian. After a moment of silence, she said, "If something like that really happened, it would be painful just thinking about it."

"Even though we're already in such a miserable state, the Ark still exploits us every day, tampering with our memories at will, and sending us to die on the surface. Even if they treat us as tools, shouldn't they at least give us some basic human rights?"

"..."

"Well, forget it. There's no point in complaining here anyway."

"Let's go and get Marianne."

Green comforted her, "Don't worry, Anis. Once we find the decontamination agent on the surface, you won't have to worry about the erosion problem anymore."

Anis turned around, smiled at Green and saluted: "Got it! Commander!"

The four of them arrived at the meeting place together.

Ingrid stood alone beside an unfinished building, and the temperament revealed between her eyebrows was as majestic as ever.

"Good afternoon, President Ingrid." Green greeted her.

"Here?" Ingrid turned around and said to Green, "Let's get straight to the point, Green."

"The brainwashing of Nikki Marian, the former Silver Spear, is complete."

"Also, given your outstanding performance in ground missions, from now on, Nikki Marian will be assigned to the counterattack force. Do you have any questions about this?"

"No." Green replied firmly: "We are ready."

Ingrid nodded.

"Very well, then..."

"Come out, Marianne."

Chapter 24: Marianne and the All-Knowing Agnes

Da da da...

Footsteps slowly came from the corner of the building, and then Nikki stopped in front of several people from the counterattack force.

Green took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and saw her again.

Long silver-gray hair, dark Letcher-style armor, and two bandages on his head that were about to fall off.

Marianne.

This wasn't the first time Green had met her.

Not long ago, she, under the alias "Divine Punishment", almost wiped out the counterattack force and used her mechanical tentacles to open a big hole in Green's stomach.

But now Marianne stood in front of him like a newborn baby. There was no trace of madness in her ruby-like pupils anymore, and what she revealed was a foolish stupor and curiosity about the world.

After a moment of silence, Anis was the first to break the silence: "Hello, my name is Anis, please take care of me in the future!"

Nian also narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Hello, I'm Nian. Please don't let anyone know that I'm a spy~"

Rabbi introduced himself seriously, "I am Rabbi."

"Ahhh...Ahhh."

Marian glanced at the counterattack troops and murmured like a baby.

This made the three little ones in the counterattack force fall silent again.

Seeing the atmosphere was getting heavy, Ingrid explained, "She can't speak yet. You guys should teach her little by little."

Anis lowered her mouth and said, "Do you really want us to teach you?"

Marianne: "Ahhh... Ughhhhhhh..."

Not knowing what she wanted to express, Marian stared at Green and uttered a long string of incomprehensible mumblings.

Then, she walked towards Green with a smile as pure as an angel and hugged him tightly.

rustle...

rustle...

Nikki, who should have known nothing about the world, hugged Green tightly, rubbing her head happily like a baby expressing its love.

"commander..."

Marian called out the word "Commander" with difficulty and awkwardness.

But these three words shocked everyone present.

Green stroked her head and asked in surprise, "Marian?"

Anis was startled: "She spoke!"

Nien's mouth dropped open. "Wow!"

Rabi was even more surprised: "Instructor, what is this?!"

Even someone as calm as Ingrid was surprised by this rare sight. "The brainwashing was very successful, but Marianne still remembers her own name and the word 'Commander'. I don't know why."

"Um..."

"If there is such a thing as a soul, it certainly doesn't seem to be in the brain."

"Oh, that's really not scientific at all~"

The heavy atmosphere was swept away, and Agnes smiled happily as she watched Marianne and Green hugging each other.

"It's so unscientific that it's a big deal!"

A smile also appeared on Nian's face.

Everyone chatted happily for a while.

After the atmosphere of the reunion had died down a bit, Ingrid continued to explain to the others, "Marianne is a quick learner and should be able to speak soon. You must educate her well, and..."

"Forget it, it's nothing."

Ingrid glanced at Rabbi and interrupted what she was about to say: "Then I'll go back first."

Rabbi understood and immediately followed her steps: "I will be your guard."

"sorry to bother you."

Lavender escorted Ingrid to the outpost's elevator, and the two quickly disappeared.

After Ingrid walked away, Agnes skipped over to Marianne, with a smug smile on her face, and said to Marianne, "Okay, then, Marianne, from now on, please call me the all-knowing and all-powerful Agnes!"

"Uh-huh?"

Marianne didn't seem to understand what Agnes meant, and was stunned.

Nian rolled his eyes slightly.

Anis, are you so mean as to take advantage of a baby?

But the morally corrupt Anis didn't care about these things. Instead, she became more and more excited: "Come on, Marianne, repeat after me!"

"The all-knowing and all-powerful Ah Ni Si!"

"Ok?"

"Mr. All-knowing and All-powerful Anis!"

Marianne didn't seem to understand yet, but she still stammered: "Lack... lack... knowledge... lack... ability... "

Anis shouted excitedly, "Yes, yes, that's it, that's it!"

"Ah...the Almighty..."

"Uh..."

I don't know what she thought of, but when Marianne read out Agnes's name, she suddenly smiled and shouted, "What a talentless person!"

"That's not it!"

"Marianne, can't you just follow me?"

"Anis, you are ignorant and incompetent!"

"Anis, who lacks knowledge and ability~"

"Anis, who lacks knowledge and ability—"

Marian did not understand, but became a parrot, repeating over and over again the stories of the ignorant and incompetent Lady Anis.

Anis was so angry that she grimaced.

Green and Nian chuckled and couldn't help laughing.

Nian squinted his glasses and teased, "Anis, who told you to bully the baby? This is called reaping the consequences."

Anis sighed, looking helpless. "I have a feeling our outpost might be getting another idiot. I hope Marian doesn't steal my snacks and carbonated water anymore."

But that's impossible, Anis.

Green cast a sympathetic look at Agnes.

It will take a long time for Marianne's mind to return to that of an adult.

As for children, their favorite things are snacks and drinks.

If Marian sees Annies open the refrigerator once, all of Annies's inventory will be destroyed!

Green mourned for Anis's carbonated drink for a while before saying, "Let's go back first. When Rabbi comes back, we can discuss how to educate Marianne."

"okay."

"Agree."

"Marian."

"Uh-huh?"

"We're going back."

"Ok!"

Green called out to Marianne.

Marianne responded, immediately breaking into a bright smile.

She stepped forward and held Green's arm, like a pair of lovers who had been reunited after a long separation, and the two of them strolled briskly in the outpost.

"Wow." Anis, who was walking nearby, curled her lips. "Marianne, this girl, she's already holding the Commander's arm and walking hand in hand before she can even speak. I can't imagine what she'll become."
