NIKKE, Swordmaster Ark Succubus Daily

I've just been missing you lately, and I want to talk to you.

Li Zuoyi held his phone, his brows slightly furrowed, as if trying to think of a topic to discuss.

【Are you troubled?】Isabel suddenly sent a rather strange message.

【Why do you say that? 】

Because my darling didn't reply to my messages...

Li Zuo swallowed hard; he had only been silent for ten seconds.

Let me find an excuse to slip away for a bit and think about how to talk to her.

"Sorry, I was actually getting ready to take a shower," he replied.

Please go ahead and take your time washing; I'm not in a rush.

Li Zuo sent an OK emoji and then put away his phone.

He's a little hungry, so he'll get something to eat and then take a shower.

But as soon as he opened the refrigerator, his phone vibrated again in his pocket.

He took it out and saw that it was still a message from Isabel.

Are you really going to take a shower? You're not kidding me, are you?

Li Zuoyi put down his phone, looked around the command center, and saw no one.

I walked to the window again, opened it, and peered out at the dark night view, but there was still no one there.

He then picked up his phone and replied: 【No】

"Is that so? I'm sorry, then darling, go take a shower."

Li Zuoyi thought for a moment, then walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and at the same time, his phone rang again.

I picked it up and saw it was her.

"Aren't you going to take a shower?"

Li Zuo's face twitched. He closed the refrigerator door, and a pair of hands draped over his shoulders from behind, a fragrant breeze blowing past his ear:

"Honey, weren't you going to take a shower?"

145. It's me, Little Red Riding Hood!

On the way to the command center

Anis, dressed as a bunny girl, said to Yinhua, who was blocking her way:

"Step aside."

"No," Yin Hua said with her eyes closed. "Do you think I'll let my guard down just because it's almost dawn?"

"You...you didn't stay here all night, did you?" Anis asked, somewhat surprised.

"Heh." Yinhua wiped the condensation from her nose. "This time, no matter what you say..."

"Get out of the way, you flat-chested girl," Anies launched a personal attack.

"Do you want to die?!" Yin Hua's expression was somewhat distorted.

“I’m just stating the facts.” Anies proudly puffed out his chest, which trembled slightly, leaving Yin Hua stunned.

Anis bypassed the stunned Yin Hua and continued towards the commander's bedroom.

Two rabbits arrived at the outpost, completely captivating the commander, who even took them with him when he went out...

She wants to prove that she can do it too!

However, when she sneaked into the commander's bedroom, she found it looked like it had been through a 'war'.

The blankets and sheets were disheveled and damp, clothes were scattered everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong, almost pungent, floral scent...

Most importantly, he lay on the bed with his head tilted to the side and his eyes closed, like a commander who had died in 'war'.

“Commander?!” Anis ran to his side, knelt down, and grasped his hand. “Who attacked you? Louise? Is she actually much wilder in bed than I thought?”

Unexpectedly, the commander shook his head.

"So, Mihara? Is she still not satisfied with M?"

The commander shook his head.

"Could it be those two rabbits...? I noticed you'd been staring at that black rabbit the whole time..."

The commander opened his eyes this time and said, "It's...it's Isabel..."

"She's here?" Anis asked in surprise.

Li Zuo sighed, "I still couldn't dodge it."

From the office to the bathroom, and from the bathroom to the bedroom, she really didn't stop for a moment, until just now when her legs were trembling and she had to lean against the wall to leave.

"She came to the Ark specifically to be with the Commander..."

"It seems she came with Dorothy," Li Zuoyi said.

"Leaving Isabel aside for now, what is that wicked woman doing here on the Ark?" Anis was still angry about her abandoning the Commander last time.

“They say it’s a visit, and the first stop seems to be the outpost,” Li Zuoyi said. “Go and tell the teammates who went to the amusement park before. Be careful not to give anything away. There might be high-ranking people accompanying them. When that happens, pretend you don’t know them.”

"I...I understand." Anis was somewhat unwilling to leave like this, and she looked down along the commander's abs...

Li Zuo closed his eyes, intending to take a nap, but quickly opened them again, staring at the ceiling, and asked, "Anis, what are you doing?"

"Let's see if he still has any energy. I remember the little commander loves being trapped like that."

"I can't go on anymore..."

"Ah, you look more energetic now."

"..."

Li Zuoyi stared at the ceiling when Anis's flushed face came into view. She wore long, straight rabbit ears, her eyes crinkled, and she couldn't help but lick her lips.

"They haven't gotten up yet, so I'll wait here with the commander for now."

……

……

A few hours later.

command center.

Little Red Riding Hood stared wide-eyed at the living Dorothy, and for a moment her brain went blank.

Li Zuo glanced at the smiling Dorothy and then turned his gaze to her companion, Nicky Barbie Long, the personal attendant of Vice Commander Burningham, and said:

"Visit? This is a military base. Does a young lady like her have the authority to do so?"

According to Barbie Taki, Dorothy is now a huge fan of his and, through family connections, managed to get the opportunity to visit the outpost.

Of course, Li Zuoyi knew it was all fake; perhaps she and Fang Zhou had reached some kind of agreement.

"Please rest assured, this is the authority temporarily granted by Deputy Commander Burning. If any problems arise, he will bear all the consequences. These are Deputy Commander Burning's exact words," Barbie Taki said.

"Alright then," Li Zuoyi said with a sigh.

Dorothy stepped forward, looked up at him with genuine admiration in her eyes, and said:

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Commander."

Looking at Dorothy, whose acting was a bit over the top, Li Zuoyi thought to himself, "Is it really necessary to take this acting to such an extreme?"

Little Red Riding Hood, however, had already widened her eyes in disbelief.

Dorothy, she's still alive?!

Are the Goddess Force still around? How is everyone? Where's the Commander? Why aren't the other members on the Ark...?

Little Red Riding Hood had a string of questions popping into her head, but she couldn't ask them directly right now, which really made her anxious.

“Then, I’ll come back to the outpost to pick you up in two hours, Miss Dorothy,” Barbie Taki said before leaving.

Li Zuoyi said to Dorothy, "I'll go inform the others at the outpost. You wait here for a moment."

"Okay." Dorothy nodded. Since they were already here, there was no rush.

Now only she and Lapi remain in the command center.

Out of courtesy, she struck up a conversation with Labi, who seemed a bit off today, "It's been a while, Miss Labi, how have you been?"

Little Red Riding Hood's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes. She stepped forward and placed her hands on Dorothy's shoulders, which puzzled Dorothy.

Little Red Riding Hood sniffled and said, "It has indeed been a long time, Dorothy."

"Miss Lapi..."

Little Red Riding Hood sighed and said seriously to Dorothy, "Actually, I am not Lapi, I am Little Red Riding Hood, Dorothy."

But to her surprise, Dorothy's face darkened, and the light in her eyes disappeared. "Where did you hear that name from?"

What's going on...? Little Red Riding Hood immediately explained, "It really is me, Little Red Riding Hood!"

"If you keep making jokes like that, even if you are his Niki..."

“Young lady! Mechanical gorilla! Cute little Snow White! Battle maniac! Nun reading erotic books! And… Commander!” Little Red Riding Hood looked into Dorothy’s eyes and said, “Still won’t you believe me?”

“…Little Red Riding Hood?” Dorothy’s lips trembled.

“It’s me, Dorothy,” Little Red Riding Hood said with a smile.

Although the face is completely different, that smile is so familiar...

"I can't be sure yet that you really are Little Red Riding Hood."

So Dorothy asked several more questions that only the original members of the Goddess Squad knew, and the other party answered them all correctly, which finally convinced her completely.

"How did you become like this?" Dorothy couldn't help but ask.

"Um... I don't know either." Little Red Riding Hood scratched her head, then suddenly remembered an important question and asked, "Dorothy, how is the Commander? Is he dead...? Or is he alive thanks to some kind of magical machine or medicine?"

Looking at Little Red Riding Hood's hopeful eyes, Dorothy didn't know how to answer.

146. Little Red Riding Hood: I am the ultimate pure lover.

Little Red Riding Hood is still alive.

When Little Red Riding Hood was corrupted by Lecher during the battle, they tried everything but couldn't cure her. They could only watch helplessly as she suffered every day from the effects of the corruption.

Little Red Riding Hood remained true to her old ways, seemingly carefree and unconcerned, never shying away from others mentioning corruption in her presence. But Dorothy knew that sometimes she would stare blankly out the window for hours, lost in thought.

After their final battle against the heretic Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood bid farewell to the Goddess's army and embarked on her journey home alone.

Although Little Red Riding Hood said she was going home, everyone knew she was going to die.

Even though Dorothy still hoped for a miracle, she never received any news from Little Red Riding Hood again for many years afterward.

The various events that followed left her no time to search for Little Red Riding Hood's body; she could only mourn her in her heart.

Now, Little Red Riding Hood seems to have been 'resurrected' in another Niki body.

As her companion, Dorothy was genuinely happy and had a lot to say to her.

So Dorothy looked at Little Red Riding Hood and smiled sadly, saying, "Little Red Riding Hood, it's so good that you're still alive."

This question did not answer Little Red Riding Hood's question—how is the Commander?

Little Red Riding Hood knew that although she was usually quite unreliable, she also felt that she was not incapable of reading other people's expressions.

Seeing the sadness almost overflowing in Dorothy's eyes, yet she forced a smile, Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help but be moved.

"Little Snow White, is she still alive?" she asked tentatively.

“Yes, but she has changed a lot…” Dorothy said.

"And what about the Holy Maiden?"

"Still the same."

"Where's the battle maniac?"
