NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

“There will definitely be a place for me next to him.” Dorothy smiled slightly, looking confident. “And there will only be a place for me.”

"Why?" Little Red Riding Hood didn't understand why she was so confident.

“Once he gets to know me, he’ll definitely be attracted to me and gradually forget about other women,” Dorothy said confidently.

That's right, once the commander truly gets to know her, he will definitely be impressed by her.

She used to be too preoccupied with the relationship between the Commander and Lilith, but things are different now. Lilith is gone, and her biggest concern is gone. She feels okay again.

No, if I laugh out loud, we'll lose all our friends... Little Red Riding Hood suppressed her laughter and asked with a stiff face, "So what do you plan to do?"

"First, get to know each other. Try to remain elegant and leave a good impression. Then, try discussing topics of mutual interest..."

Dorothy was speaking when she heard a 'pfft' sound from the side.

"Was what I said funny?" Dorothy asked, frowning. "Or is there something wrong with it?"

"If the other person expresses interest, do you keep turning them down?" Little Red Riding Hood asked, rubbing her aching face.

“You understand perfectly well, Little Red Riding Hood. This is to avoid looking too cheap.” Dorothy thoughtfully explained, “It’s common in social circles. Gentlemen will invite you several times to show their sincerity, and ladies will deliberately refuse a few times to express their modesty. These are all unwritten rules.”

Little Red Riding Hood's smile vanished; this girl's thinking was truly flawed.

“Dorothy, men are creatures who don’t need all this trouble,” Little Red Riding Hood decided to be direct. “Actually, you just need to confirm the other person’s character. If there are no problems, then you just need to stick around, and then…”

Little Red Riding Hood made an XXOO gesture.

"Then, you can get any man, no matter how difficult he is to win over."

But to everyone's surprise, it was Dorothy who covered her mouth and laughed this time.

"Wh-what?" Little Red Riding Hood sometimes really didn't understand this young lady's thoughts.

“Poor Little Red Riding Hood, no gentleman has ever done such a thing to you.” Dorothy looked at her with pity.

"I've even slept with your dream guy using this method before..." Little Red Riding Hood didn't want to discourage her, so she had to endure it and continue, "Although I haven't actually done it, I have used this method to get a man before. Besides, do you think the Commander is a gentleman? Would he understand the rules you're talking about?"

Dorothy thought about it carefully. She remembered that the commander had been a mercenary a long time ago, which did not fit her impression of a gentleman.

Even the current commander seems to come from an ordinary family.

“But, but…” Dorothy, hands on her knees, a blush creeping onto her cheeks, lowered her head and said shyly, “Little Red Riding Hood, your method is too, too…”

"Dirty?"

"..." Dorothy tacitly agreed, and she could never have made such a direct hint.

She also has her own self-respect.

Little Red Riding Hood could see that too, and she knew that just saying that wouldn't be enough to persuade Dorothy.

This young lady is just so stubborn.

So Little Red Riding Hood said, "Besides, if you don't go, the other women around him will take over. Think about how you felt just now, do you really want those women to have sex with him behind his back?"

Dorothy was visibly shaken.

But she still couldn't let go of her pride.

Little Red Riding Hood didn't press her, saying, "Besides, think about it, if you had taken the first step, wouldn't the other women feel uncomfortable when you were being intimate with him? And what about the exhilarating feeling of watching him revel in your arms, of stealing someone else's beloved..."

Little Red Riding Hood felt something was amiss and added, "Anyway, they're not Lilith."

Little Red Riding Hood is teaching Dorothy the joy of being blond.

Dorothy's throat moved; it was clear she was tempted.

"But, but..."

However, she still retains her haughty demeanor, which means she can't be as proactive as Little Red Riding Hood in taking the initiative to seduce the Commander.

So Little Red Riding Hood thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be you who takes the initiative. You can let him take the initiative too. For example, you can deliberately seduce him and make him unable to resist..."

“Deliberately seducing... if others saw it…” Dorothy couldn’t accept this side of herself being seen by others.

“So,” Little Red Riding Hood said, putting her arm around Dorothy’s shoulder, “the first step is to do everything you can to stay by his side. Don’t worry, I will guide you.”

152. We must never let her monopolize the command!

"Walker Connor?"

Louise lay on the bed, propping her head up as she looked at Zuo Yi lying next to her, and said, "He's the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. What's wrong?"

Li Zuoyi omitted Shu En's name, only saying that he had received information from a trustworthy person that Walker Connor was involved with Cheryl.

A trustworthy person… Louise didn’t press further, and after thinking for a moment, said, “He has considerable prestige among the government’s civil servants. It’s said that he played a significant role in the president’s victory over the other candidates. Given his high position and power, it’s normal for Cheryl to have dealings with him.”

Although the Ark operates with the support of three major companies and the government is almost transparent, this does not mean that the government is an empty shell.

Many bills that benefit the three major corporations still need to be enacted by the government, which requires the three corporations to send their respective lobbying groups to contact high-ranking government officials and exchange benefits.

It wouldn't be surprising if Cheryl were sent to contact Walker Connor during this process.

Perhaps Cheryl used her resources to send some draft prospects to Walker's mansion.

Or they promised Walker that after retirement, he would become the chairman of various institutions under Tetra, receiving an astonishing salary every year.

Or, more directly, bribery in a blatant and aboveboard manner is also possible.

"Worried about me?" Li Zuoyi tilted his head and asked her.

"After all, the government is involved. Nominally, the military is still under the government's jurisdiction. If you get involved, I'm afraid..."

He can be unrestrained in the outer zone, but if he continues to act so freely on the Ark, it might provoke resentment or even murderous intent from some people...

Li Zuoyi could guess most of what was going on just by looking at her expression.

However, he would not give up the investigation because of a little threat, as it not only concerned Anies, but also him and the Goddess Force.

Besides, these threats may not actually pose a threat to him.

"Don't be in such a hurry!" Louise had grown up with him since childhood and knew very well what his calm and collected demeanor meant. She kissed his cheek. "I'll go and find out what's going on for you. If there's a problem, I'll let you know. I won't stop you from doing whatever you want then."

At least in this moment of speculation, she didn't want him to offend the government.

But if Walker really has a problem, perhaps he won't even need to intervene; the court she's in might already be sentencing him to death.

"Okay." Li Zuo pulled her into his arms. "But you also need to be careful of danger."

"Um……"

……

Command Center Office.

Li Zuoyi ate his breakfast while looking at the official business he might have to handle that day.

Nien wiped the gun, breathing on each bullet he would later use on the ground, then rubbed it with a velvet cloth until it shone like a mirror.

Anies was still watching the morning show, but his attention wasn't on the television; instead, he kept glancing at Louise, who was circling around him.

"Milk?" Li Zuoyi was somewhat surprised to see Louise bringing over a cup of hot milk, as there was no such thing at the outpost.

“It was delivered by someone from home just now.” Louise placed the milk on his table. “You know I drink it every morning, so I asked my family to send an extra serving every day from now on.”

Li Zuo suddenly remembered that her family was a powerful faction within the military, and considered a century-old family within the Ark. These small gifts were nothing to her, but she had made a special trip to deliver them...

"Send an extra portion every day?" Upon hearing the key words in her words, Li Zuo swallowed his oat-flavored poppae and immediately looked up at her.

“Yes.” Louise looked at him with a puzzled expression. “What’s wrong?”

"Are you going to stay here?" Li Zuoyi asked.

“Of course I’ll stay here,” Louise said matter-of-factly.

Now that they've established a relationship, of course they're going to live together, isn't that normal?

"Huh?!" Labi's surprised voice came from the doorway.

Li Zuo looked over and saw Little Red Riding Hood, whose tie was still undone, looking Louise up and down. She asked, "Are you going to stay here?"

Behind her stood Dorothy, dressed impeccably. When their eyes met, she gave him a warm smile.

“Yes, I’ll be living here starting today,” Louise nodded.

Little Red Riding Hood rubbed her chin, sensing that Louise's aura was quite different, as if she had undergone some major transformation, or rather... more like she had gone from a girl to a woman.

Especially when she saw Louise take the milk glass that Li had finished drinking from and lick the milk off his lips, she knew...

So it turns out they really did have sex last night!

Li Zhi turned her into a woman!

If it were before, Little Red Riding Hood, being a pure lover, might have been happy that the childhood sweethearts had finally gotten married.

This couple is so adorable... I might keep thinking that way in the future.

But now, she has firmly become Dorothy's mentor, she...

Hmm... Little Red Riding Hood suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be Dorothy's blond mentor, and that she was supposed to teach Dorothy how to be Louise.

Whew—Little Red Riding Hood silently apologized to Louise.

But soon she noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the command center.

Nien, as if smelling a cigar, held a cleaned bullet under his nose and took a deep drag, saying with satisfaction, "I think I can smell gunpowder."

Little Red Riding Hood turned her head and noticed that Dorothy, who had walked up to her, seemed to have mismanaged her facial expression; otherwise, why would half of her face be smiling and the other half twitching?

Anis stopped pretending and looked at Louise with a complicated expression, asking, "Louise, if you move here, where do you plan to live?"

Louise had been about to ask Zuo Yi for a kiss, but she turned her head and said, "Of course, I'll stay here."

“This, this place…” Anis opened his mouth and made two sounds, then said, “You mean…”

Louise smiled and held up one finger, pointing upstairs.

That was the commander's room.

"...So, that means we have to sleep together every day..." Anies' pupils lost focus.

Sleeping in the same room every day?! Little Red Riding Hood was shocked. How could the blond guy possibly sleep like this?

One of the blond guy's key techniques is to exploit timing differences...

However, she couldn't seem to find a suitable reason to stop Louise.

How to do?

At this moment, Dorothy and Anis couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Although there were some disagreements before, they now have a common enemy.

So with just that one glance, they tacitly knew they needed to cooperate.

We absolutely cannot let Louise monopolize the position next to the Commander!

153. As long as I can't see him, he is clean.

If Louise hadn't chosen to live in the same room as the Commander, Anis probably wouldn't have been so agitated.

At most, they would just complain in their hearts that the commander had made a move on another girl.

After all, she still had a chance to get away from Yin Hua, slip away to the Commander's side, and have some intimate time with him.

However, if Louise and the Commander slept together, no matter how open-minded Anise was, she couldn't possibly be intimate with the Commander in front of another woman, as if no one else was around.

She couldn't accept it, and Louise probably couldn't accept it either. The only one who could probably accept it was the Commander.

He might even think it's possible for the two of them to fly together.

Well... at least she should choose someone she gets along with.

Louise is absolutely out of the question!

Every time Louise looked at Niki, it was as if she were looking at a prop.

Although Anis herself had thought so before, with the Commander's gentle treatment, how could she possibly want to go back to the way things were before?

Therefore, Louise's superior attitude was one of the reasons why Anis did not want Louise to get too close to the Commander.

Don't lead the commander astray.

However, Anis didn't know how to dissuade the commander at this point.
