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

Marian clenched her five fingers lightly, and the black hole in her hand dissipated along with the energy.

Then, she said something lightly and continued walking forward: "You can't stop me, give up. I'm going back to eat the chicken legs. If Anis eats them all, you will be fully responsible for my chicken legs."

Chapter 385: Nikki's Christmas (I)

"You managed to neutralize my attack so easily..."

Cinderella was suspended in the air, looking down at Marianne below.

After thinking for a while, she put away her weapons, gracefully descended from the air, and stood in front of Marian.

"who are you?"

"Me? Sorry, I promised the Commander not to tell strangers my identity."

Marianne shook her head, stared at Cinderella, and then said, "Don't stand in my way anymore. I'm in a hurry to attend the Christmas party."

"..."

"You are a heretic, and you are the same kind as me."

Cinderella's beautiful brows frowned slightly.

Heretics actually have the special ability to sense each other, and Cinderella naturally has it too. However, this ability to sense location will only take effect when other heretics are within a certain distance. If the signal is blocked by a special device, the other party's location will also not be sensed.

"Heretics?"

"I'm not a heretic."

"I am an important person that the commander cherishes in his heart."

Marianne smiled calmly and retorted, "If there is nothing else, I will leave."

"You're right, I really can't stop you."

Cinderella didn't stop her this time and let Marianne go. But before she took a few steps, her quiet voice came from behind again: "Is it my illusion? I feel a faint sense of familiarity from you."

"Queen Letcher..."

"What is your relationship with her?"

Under the mask, Marian's expression froze slightly.

She had always had many secrets in her heart that she had not told the people around her, but unexpectedly, one of the secrets was discovered by Cinderella.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm leaving."

Marianne glanced back at her and continued forward.

"So, you choose to deny it?"

Cinderella followed Marianne closely, like a ghost. "You know what it's like to be corrupted? It's like being trapped in a mirror, watching yourself outside commit horrific and ugly acts, while a voice keeps nagging and bewitching you, persuading you to give up everything and destroy your original personality... Or have you already forgotten?"

"..."

"You remain silent. Don't you want to speak?"

"It's alright. It's alright if you don't want to talk. Since you're an old acquaintance of His Royal Highness, I won't force you. But I think a heretic with ties to Queen Letcher would be a bit conspicuous among the humans, right?"

Cinderella continued, "I promised His Royal Highness the Prince that I would help him protect his base and continue our story. My stance will never waver, but you... Although I don't know your true identity, I still want to warn you."

“Don’t waver.”

"If the station is put in danger because of you, I will not hold you back next time."

"You must have just arrived at the base. You've only known the commander for a short time, so don't act so self-righteous."

Marianne's smile suddenly faded. She turned and stared at Cinderella, then sneered, "If we go by first come, first served, I'm the first one to meet the Commander. You'd be behind him, haha."

"is it?"

Cinderella also smiled and fought back: "But in this world, order is never important. What matters is meeting the right person at the right time."

"My beauty complements the handsomeness of His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Don't you think so?"

Marian wasn't angry at all. Instead, she sarcastically said, "There are many beautiful flowers in this world, but some flowers will break if the wind blows. You shouldn't be that kind of delicate flower, right?"

Cinderella cheerfully retorted, "Of course I'm not. Then what are you? A wildflower adrift?"

Marian chuckled and said jokingly, "I'm not a flower, I'm a human."

Cinderella: “…”

Even Cinderella was speechless by Marianne's strange train of thought.

While chatting, the two of them came to the base covered with optical camouflage equipment.

After taking a few steps, snowflakes began to fall from the dark sky.

"Ah, it's snowing."

Marian reached out her hand, caught a thin, cool snowflake, and watched it melt in her palm. Then she murmured softly, "Every time during the holidays at the end of the year, I always feel very happy to be able to snuggle up in a room with the person I love, watching the snowflakes fluttering outside."

"Well, it does feel good to be with friends."

Cinderella nodded in agreement.

"Really? In that case, my friend, I wish you a happy day too."

Marianne nodded gracefully to Cinderella and walked into the commander's room.

Cinderella looked at her back, with a subtle look on her face.

"Your Highness's guess may be correct."

"The so-called heretic is most likely a candidate for Queen Letcher."

"If this speculation is indeed true, then even eliminating the Queen would be useless. After all, the heretics can control Letcher. In a sense, they are the Queen's successors."

"Um……"

"Don't think too much, just enjoy the festival today."

Cinderella pushed aside the many thoughts in her mind.

Let her enjoy this first festival in a century.

"Christmas is followed by New Year's Day, so there are quite a lot of holidays."

"Should I get myself some new clothes too?"

Cinderella looked at the brightly lit room, smiled and whispered softly: "It just so happens that I have an idea in my mind, but I may have to trouble Gravy."

……

Inside the commander's room.

When Marianne arrived, the atmosphere at the table froze for a moment.

While some of the Nikkis present might not have seen Marian, the Ark government's top brass had gone to such great lengths to apprehend her that even if they hadn't seen her, they'd likely heard of her from others. Even though she was wearing a mask, many of the Nikkis in the room knew she was Marian.

"I was drunk and didn't see anything."

Yinhua glanced at Marian, then continued eating, holding her beer.

"Yin, Yinhua, are you drunk? Are you really drunk? This is the first time I see you drunk!"

Bestie laughed and teased beside him.

"You're so annoying, Bestie."

"Oh, there's a new guest, Ma... No, it's nothing, come and have dinner with us."

Emma greeted Marian cheerfully. As the strongest force in the Pure Land, there was no need to question the positions of the three of them.

"Emma, Yinhua, Bestie. Long time no see, everyone."

Marian smiled and nodded to Emma and the other two, then walked to the dining table with a happy face: "Hey, Commander, Laby, Anis, Nian! I'm back in time!"

Nian greeted her with a smile: "You are late, the chicken leg has been eaten by Anis, huhu~"

Anis immediately glared and retorted: "What? You're talking nonsense, Nian, I only ate two, and you ate four! How can you blame me for this!"

Nian pouted and said angrily, "But I only eat the small wings, Anis, and you only eat the big drumsticks! My four are smaller than your two!"

Anis said stubbornly, "That's not that small!"

"Here you come? Sit down quickly."

Amid the noise, Green pointed to the empty chair next to him.

During festivals and holidays, there are always five seats available on the counterattack force's bench.

"Commander, long time no see! I missed you so much!"

As soon as Marian sat down, she hugged me affectionately and said coquettishly: "This is my first time celebrating the festival on the ground. I feel so happy!"

"Yeah, just be happy."

Green gently stroked her soft hair, then said with a smile: "Don't listen to Anis and Nian's jokes. I've left a few chicken legs for you. Eat them slowly."

"Thank you, Commander, and everyone~!"

"Then I'll start!"

Although it is a festival, the atmosphere is very casual.

They ate and drank to their heart's content.

Soon, Agnes fell drunk with a blushing face.

"Wow, I feel dizzy, but pineapple beer is so delicious... burp!"

"Sure enough, beer and soda are the ultimate form of beverage!"

"You should drink less, Anis."

Rabbi looked over and couldn't help but complain: "This is already the eighth bottle."

"Whatever you do, it's a rare opportunity to celebrate the festival, I'm happy! Humph!"

Anis groaned, then straightened up and drank the pineapple beer in her hand. "Wow! The person who invented carbonated drinks is a genius! Lapi, come over and have a couple of drinks too!"

"I don't like pineapple beer."

"Even if you don't like it, you have to drink for me! You're a spoiler, you have to give me a few drinks today!"

On the other side, Nian found Gravi who was eating quietly and started chatting with her.

Nien: "Firepower!"

Gravi: "???"

Nien: "Firepower, firepower!"

Glavi: "Firepower?"

Nien: "Fire power fire power fire power!"

Gravi: "..."

Glavi: "Firepower?"

Nien: "That's right, firepower!"

After Nian said goodbye and left, Gravi was silent for a long time before he started talking to Cinderella who was elegantly eating dessert beside him.

Gravey: "Cinderella, do you think I'm getting old? I always feel like I don't understand the trendy things young girls like to say these days."

Cinderella: "She didn't say anything trendy, she just kept repeating the firepower."

Gravey: "Really? I thought it was some kind of slang used in some small circle."

Cinderella grinned: "Gravy has been a stubborn old antique for a century."

Gravey rolled his eyes at her and said, "You make it sound like you're very young, but calculating Nikki's age using human years definitely doesn't count. In terms of age, all the Nikkis here are probably over a thousand years old."

Jirti, who was sitting across from them, was suddenly struck by a funny thought: "If we use human age as an example...something like Nikki and the instructor having sex is just like an old lady and a little boy, a friendship that transcends age. It's basically an old cow eating young grass."

Sen, who was sitting beside her with a smile on his face, also echoed: "Yeah, some of the Nikkis are old enough to be the commander's great-grandmother. Old ladies in love, but they will be deducted 0 points. Hehehe ~ Fortunately, I'm still young."

Kirti: "Sen, when exactly did you come?"
