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

"It's all up to me..."

"Let's cook some Western-style food."

"The most authentic nineteenth-century wilderness rabbit stew. I just happened to catch one while chopping wood."

Although there were still a lot of supplies collected from Shuen, such as canned food, compressed biscuits and other easy-to-store foods, there were still hundreds of them in the backpack, but now that they already had a base, they naturally didn't have to suffer through eating these unripe foods.

After calming down Rabbit.

Green quickly made a pot of wilderness rabbit stew with some potatoes, carrots, onions and other ingredients.

Anis and Nian, who had been busy all morning, came over after smelling the aroma. Nian licked the corner of his mouth and looked at the thick soup bubbling in the pot. He couldn't help but sniff and asked, "Master, what are you making today?"

"Because I'm lazy, I made stew today."

"Just add some pepper and salt, and then let it simmer slowly. It will be ready in three hours."

"A true western stew, a lazy man's favorite."

Green scooped a bowl of stewed rabbit from the pot and took a bite. It tasted pretty good: "It's a simple salty aroma with a hint of pepper. It's okay, average, not bad."

“I think it’s quite delicious.”

Lapi also tasted it and said, "The commander's cooking skills are still as good as before. Compared with Poppet, this is definitely a star dish."

"Hehe, it's great to have a base, Commander."

Anis chuckled, her face showing a happy expression: "From today on, can we eat hot dishes every meal?"

"of course."

"But don't treat me as your personal chef."

"Washing dishes and pots is too troublesome, and cutting and washing vegetables takes a long time. We have a lot of things to do on a daily basis, so we don't have much time to cook."

While savoring his homemade Crazy West tea, Green pondered, "Maybe it's time to call Ed up to the surface and let her take charge of the base's food. Even though it feels like we haven't been away from the outpost for long, I already miss her hand-brewed tea."

"Ed, she's such a good woman, in every sense of the word."

"Hmm? What is it, Commander? Am I not a good woman?"

Anis puffed out her chest with a look of dissatisfaction and asked in a righteous manner.

"Anis is Anis."

Green smiled and changed the subject: "Hurry up and eat. After dinner, we'll go investigate the soil and see if there's any suitable place for farming nearby."

Chapter 329: Anis is Anis.

"Annis is Anis..."

"That's quite a perfunctory statement, Commander."

The corners of Anis's mouth curved down slightly. Green's casual words brought back memories of the past.

Although there are always people who say that time will heal all wounds.

But every time she thought of the past, the bitterness in her heart was like a flood that was difficult to calm down.

Rabbi seemed to notice Anis's thoughtful look. She pursed her lips and called her, "Anis."

"Hmm? Rabbi, what do you want me to do?"

"Nothing, just wanted to ask if you were okay?"

"me……"

Anis glanced at Labi, and a hint of helplessness and depression flashed in her originally bright pupils.

Ever since the war with Nihilista, the strength of two people in the counterattack force has been unable to keep up with the main force. It is self-evident who those two people are.

Although Anis knew very well that there would always be flowers and green leaves in an army, the feeling of having to watch the flowers swaying in the wind while she had to help out in the audience was really uncomfortable.

But even if she felt uncomfortable, she wouldn't say it.

After all, Lavi is her friend, a true friend. There is no need for her to be jealous of her. There is really no need.

Anis sighed and said, "I'm fine."

"I just remembered something... Never mind, it's nothing."

"Is it really nothing?"

Green, who was sitting nearby, blew on the hot steam from the spoon and suddenly said jokingly, "Merry and the others and I recently learned a little bit of hypnosis. To be more precise, it's psychological suggestion. It can help people forget their worries. Do you want to try it?"

"What kind of weird skills are you learning all day long, Commander?"

Anis's mouth twitched slightly. "The hypnosis you learned isn't the kind that hypnotizes people and then starts to do things to them, right?"

"Anis, if the master knew that kind of hypnosis, he would have already opened a harem of ten thousand concubines in the Ark. Don't you think so, Master?"

Nian winked playfully at Green.

"..."

"Ten thousand is probably too many."

"Eh? Master, you actually think ten thousand is too many? Then... how about five thousand?"

"Five thousand is too many."

The two of them joked around a bit, and the atmosphere became a little better.

But Agnes still found an excuse, walked aside with a little worry, leaned against a tree and thought about something alone.

"Annis, Anis...Annis is Anis."

"They are muddle-headed, drifting with the tide, without any goals or ideals, and certainly not fighting for those slogans that claim to protect humanity."

"Haa~"

"I'm still the same..."

Anis murmured to herself, and then her eyes unconsciously glanced at Rabbi who was still eating beside the tree stump.

Rabi, everyone knows that she used to be an ace of the special forces.

Although it would be strange to have four Nikkis in a unit, the special forces are the strongest force in the Ark after all. Ingrid naturally doesn't mind breaking some rules for the troops under her command.

But how could such a powerful woman fall into the trap of hanging out with Anis?

Ultimately, it's because the two of them have similar interests.

Anis and Lavi, they both came to the ground to make trouble in order to escape from some people and things.

Those things that they cannot inherit, cannot face, and cannot let go of are still deeply entangled in their hearts like nightmares to this day, and they are unwilling to recall them.

But recently, Rabi's symptoms seem to be much better.

She started to become competitive, proactive, even jealous and showing off.

Anis could also notice that her best friend had become different from before.

As for herself...

"It's not my fault that I'm like this now!"

"I was also framed, that's why..."

Anis hugged her knees and sighed heavily.

The words are on the tip of my tongue, but I don’t want to make them too clear.

She hated talking about her past with anyone, even to herself.

After a moment's silence, Anis patted her face, put all the troubles behind her, and walked out pretending to be relaxed.

No matter what, even if life is a mess, even if there are no ideals and no direction to move forward, she still has to live on. What's more, she already has someone by her side who is worth relying on.

Even if there's nothing I particularly want to do, as long as I follow him and fight, maybe one day in the future...

She will make up her mind to face her inner weakness.

……

in the afternoon.

Green was standing next to a cornfield that had been abandoned for a long time, thinking about how to plant the seeds he got from the crown, when a team trekking from afar suddenly passed through the optical camouflage barrier and caught his attention.

"Oh, it's the Ark's transport troops."

Anis placed her palm on her brow and looked out at the group. Soon, she spotted a few old acquaintances in the group: "Isn't that the nagging old lady Rita and Sandy? They're finally here."

"Anis, if you meet me, you should call me Rita-senpai."

Green reminded.

"Okay, okay, I get it, Commander. It's Rita's fault for always nagging me."

Anis grinned. She didn't know why Rita always liked to lecture her. Maybe it was because this nagging old woman really liked to care about those little girls who had difficulty taking care of themselves.

After all, to Rita, Anis was probably just like a granddaughter in her eyes.

It wasn't long before Rita and Sandy were waving their hands and yelling, "Yo-ho, little brats!"

"Long time no see, do you miss me, your wife?"

"Alright, enough nonsense. We've been ordered to help you build your base. Shuen has already told us that we'll give you a 10% discount on all the construction costs. Just go ahead and get started."

"By the way, this is the base template we designed in advance. Pick the one you like best."

"Sandy, go show him the blueprints."

"Yes, senior!"

Sandy took out a dozen sample drawings from the project box she carried with her.

As Missilis' professional civil engineering team, they were well prepared for this trip.

Not only did he bring a lot of building materials and manpower, but even the budget approved by Shuen was sufficient. However, this also made Rita feel a little strange. Shuen, who was so stingy before, was so generous this time... Could it be that she had a change of heart?

That kind of thing is impossible.

"Thanks, Sandy. Give me the blueprints."

"let me see."

Green took the drawings from Sandy and glanced at them.

Although he didn't know much about architecture, Rita and Sandy still carefully gave them some detailed explanations.

Rita babbled on, "Kid, you should know that Ark hasn't carried out any ground-based development for a long time. This place you're standing here is arguably Ark's first base on the ground in this century. If we manage it well, it might become a prosperous metropolis in the future!"

"So, you guys should think carefully and arrange all the buildings that can be arranged."

"If the infrastructure isn't perfect, this base will probably be abandoned soon, right?"

"That's the truth."

Green flipped through the design Rita gave him, carefully reviewing it several times before saying seriously, "I don't quite understand it. Anyway, bring me your most expensive and complete template."

"I want all the infrastructure."

“As for the architectural style, I hope it can have a touch of life.”

"Hehe, if I had known you would say that, luckily I brought a lot of building materials this time. So, without further ado, let's get started."

The Extraordinary Tool Force never wastes time on meaningless arguments.

After Rita and Sandy discussed for a while, they started to get busy. As Nikki, they could easily carry tons of materials and perform various dangerous high-altitude operations. Needless to say, their ability in plastering was even greater. As long as it was a job that humans could do, Nikki would do it better and more efficiently.

Coupled with some of Missilis's cutting-edge technology, construction has become an extremely simple matter in today's Ark. What used to take humans a month or so to build can now be completed in less than a few days if professional Nikki handles it.

It didn't even take two hours for Rita to renovate the dilapidated former tavern's current base.

The originally dilapidated wooden house has now been transformed into a beautiful greenhouse, and the bricks and tiles of different colors on the walls also give people a pastoral feeling.

"Wow, they are indeed the most powerful construction unit in the Ark."

"It took us a whole day to clean the house, but they renovated it inside and out in just two hours. Is this the difference between amateurs and experts..."

"You two are indeed the gods of civil engineering!"

"Don't make a fuss, girls. Building a house is just like eating and drinking water to us. After all, I've been doing this for over a decade."
