NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

At the entrance of the Missilis Affiliated Hospital, the nurses who had been waiting for a long time smiled and were very polite to Li Zuoyi, even leaning towards him almost imperceptibly.

"it is good."

“Commander, Anis and I are waiting for you here,” Lapi said.

Li Zuo nodded, beckoned Marian over, and then said to the nurse, "I have an appointment for Niki's checkup, it's her."

Missilis Hospital also offers treatment and examinations for Nikki.

"We've already made arrangements, so please don't worry."

A female doctor who was with the nurse took Marian away.

"Just follow her. Also, your examination may take a long time, so please be patient." The nurse bowed deeply to express her apology.

"I see."

Li Zuoyi left with the doctor.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the commander left, the nurse, who had just greeted him with a smile, immediately changed her expression and spoke coldly:

“The main entrance is not a place for Niki to stand. It will make many patients uncomfortable. Please go somewhere else.”

"I'm sorry," Labi said, bowing his head in apology. "We will leave."

"Tch, I'm going to stay here!"

Although Anis spoke tough words, she still obediently followed Labi to a remote corner away from the crowd.

“Anis, not all humans are like the Commander. You should be more careful in the future,” Lapi criticized.

“I know the commander is special,” Anishady sighed. “That’s why I…”

When he saved her, that similar feeling of being moved was not an illusion, but a real feeling that stayed with Anies.

"So that's why you did that to him?" Labi didn't quite understand why Anis continued.

“Lavi is quite slow on this point,” Anis said, unsurprised.

"slow……"

Lhabi was well aware of his own emotional flaws, so he did not refute them.

Four hours later.

"It's so slow, Lapi. Can I go buy some carbonated water?" Anies said. "The carbonated water in the refrigerator in the commander's office is almost finished."

“Yes, come back as soon as possible.” Lapi nodded in agreement.

"Yay!" Anis ran out excitedly.

A short while later, the commander came out of the hospital.

Li Zuoyi looked around and then spotted Lapi in the corner. He walked over to her and asked, "Where's Anis?"

“Go and buy some carbonated water,” Lapi replied.

"I want peach flavor," Li Zuo nodded.

“I’ll message her now.” Labi took out his phone.

Li Zuoyi stopped her: "No need, no need. We already decided to buy peach flavor this time when we were doing a tasting of carbonated water last time."

Lapi put his phone away and said in a low voice, "You really are special."

"Hasn't Marian come out yet?" Li Zuoyi asked.

“No, there isn’t any more,” Labi replied.

After checking the time, Li Zuoyi said to Lhapi, "It's still early, why don't we go for a stroll?"

"Should we go to Niki's weapons shop? Or ground survival supplies...?"

“Lavi”.

Lapi rarely saw the commander's serious face, and she thought she had displeased him.

“At a time like this, you should…” Li Zuo tilted his head, cupped his face in one hand, and pretended to be cute, saying in a high-pitched voice, “I want to go to a dessert shop and eat strawberry-flavored poppies.”

Lapi felt he couldn't keep up with the commander's train of thought. If Anis were here, the two of them might be able to keep up.

Li Zuoyi switched to a serious expression: "Instead of going to the weapons shop, where did you dig up this straight-laced woman from?"

"I'm sorry, Commander." Lapi bowed his head and apologized.

Li Zuoyi felt somewhat helpless towards Lhapi and softened his tone: "I just wanted to make Lhapi relax a bit."

“I will try my best,” Lhabi nodded.

"We might not have enough time to eat," Li Zuoyi said, pointing to the shopping street in the distance. "Let's go buy clothes then."

"Ok."

The two went to the shopping street and went into a trendy women's clothing and hat store.

"Welcome! Is there anything you need?" A female shop assistant approached them warmly.

Li Zuoyi looked at the various clothes and felt a bit overwhelmed: "I came to buy clothes, but I don't really understand the current trends. Do you have any..."

"Excuse me, are you planning to buy this for Niki behind you?"

The shop assistant looked at Lapi behind Li Zuoyi with an unfriendly expression.

Li Zuoyi glanced at the shop assistant as she picked up a dress, but didn't answer.

"I'm sorry, this store does not sell clothes to Niki. Please go to another store." The shop assistant bowed slightly to Li Zuoyi in apology, but the disdain in her tone was obvious.

“Commander, it’s alright, let’s go,” Lapi said to the commander.

For her, this was just an everyday occurrence and nothing special.

The shop assistant's tone was even considered polite.

“I think you’ve misunderstood something.” Li Zuoyi ignored Lapi’s words and said to the shop assistant, “I said ‘I’m’ here to buy clothes, do you understand?”

"Is this for your girlfriend?" The sales clerk smiled again. "In that case..."

Li Zuo waved his hand: "No, I said I want to buy it."

"But, but everything here is women's clothing..."

Li Zuo's face was gloomy as he pointed at the shop assistant and said, "Who gave you the courage to presume my gender?"

"I...I..." The shop assistant swallowed hard and immediately bowed deeply, apologizing profusely. "I'm so sorry! Please don't post this online, otherwise my job might be..."

"That depends on your service attitude," Li Zuoyi sneered, curling the corners of his mouth.

Then, Lhapi saw the shop assistant insincerely praising the commander for how well every piece of clothing he was holding suited him.

But Lhapi knew very well that this was just the commander teasing the shop assistant.

Just for her...

"Then I'll take this one." Li Zuoyi picked up a light blue dress that he hadn't even touched before.

"I, I understand."

The shop assistant immediately found a bag, packed it up, and handed it to the customer.

After paying, as soon as he stepped outside, Li Zuoyi handed the clothes to Lapi, saying, "Here you go."

“But…” Lapi’s face turned red with anger the moment he saw the shop assistant.

"You've been secretly looking at this all along, haven't you?" Li Zuo shoved the bag into her hand, then turned to the shop assistant with a smug smile.

"Let's go."

On their way back to the hospital, the two walked side by side.

"Commander, why are you so good to Niki?" Lapi couldn't help but ask the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Why do you think so?" Li Zuoyi asked in return.

"Because of Niki's situation?"

"Well, that's partly true," Li Zuoyi said, "but it's not the key reason."

"appearance?"

"Hmm, it's more reliable than the previous one, but it's not the key point."

"what is that?"

Li Zuoyi said calmly:

"I want freedom, the freedom to climb mountains I've never climbed before, the freedom to see seas I've never seen before. But all of these are occupied by those damned Lechers, so I want to reclaim the land."

Freedom, I want to live freely.

I did it because I wanted to; what others think or do is none of my business.

Moreover, I hope that you can also live freely, at least here with me, you can be free to be who you want to be.

Humans, Niki, weapons, props, or anything else strange and unusual—it doesn't matter.

"Lavi, do you understand?"

"So, Commander, is it because of freedom that you often peek at my chest?" Anies asked.

Unbeknownst to them, Li Zuoyi and Lapi had already returned to the hospital entrance.

Li Zuoyi exclaimed with a pained expression, "Anis, you have no idea that you have the ability to bring peace to the world!"

"If that's the kind of world it is, then let it be destroyed," Anies said speechlessly.

“Anis, you’re back,” said Labi.

"Ugh—I was only out for a little while, that's so unfair! I even bought you some carbonated water!" Anies felt betrayed.

“You actually went on a date with the Commander secretly? I’ve been thinking about that for a while now. Lapi, you actually ran away…” Anis’s voice trailed off.

“That wasn’t a date, it was just shopping.” Labi pointed to the clothes in his arms.

"Lavi, how dare you brag to me! I misjudged you!" Anis was furious.

"No, I just..."

Lapi and Anis were arguing.

"Speaking of which, is Marian still not better?" Li Zuoyi asked with some concern.

……

Missilis Hospital, Niki's Thirteenth Examination Room.

Unlike other examination rooms, this pure white room contains only one chair.

Marian sat in the chair, her face contorted in pain.

"Is there really no other way? I regret it! I met the commander I wanted to be with forever! I... I don't want to..."

Hundreds of thousands of lasers flashed in front of her, projecting a woman's body in 3D.

Marian knew her identity; she was Anik, the artificial intelligence of the Ark.

"According to document No. 3091, Niki Marian has agreed to be corrupted and go to the surface for the sake of humanity and the Ark."

"So, I regret it."

"According to document 3091, Niki Marian has agreed to act for the sake of humanity..."

"I regret."

"According to document No. 3091..."

"I regret it."

"Marianne, concentrate your firepower to eliminate the separated Lecher."
