NIKKE, when the stars bloom

Is it polite for you to kick the door in suddenly?

Facing the seemingly ordinary question from the venomous snake, the alert jackal subconsciously moved his butt, trying to distance himself from his teammates, while arguing vaguely:

"It's hot, eh." (But I used to be like this too)

"Yeah, that's right, it was like this before..."

After listening to the jackal's explanation, the girl nodded seriously. Then, her voice gradually faded away.

"But before..."

suddenly!

It's like a dormant volcano erupting without warning, or like a calm sea about to be hit by a storm.

The venomous snake, filled with grief and anger, could no longer suppress its inner madness. Like a coiled snake ready to strike, it suddenly leaned forward and stretched out its hands to pinch the jackal's neck.

Then, the girl kept shaking the foodie's head, while the foodie tried hard to swallow the barbecue he was chewing.

"You idiot! You have to compensate my man--!"

"Well--!"

"Compensate my man——!!!"

……

……

Tonight, Viper had to deal with the aftermath of the hotel, so he didn't go home.

The second lieutenant had a rare free night tonight, so he didn't go home either.

Thinking of Anis and Marian who were eyeing the hotel, Phoenix, who didn't know how to spend the night, made a simple decision - just find a place to stay for the night.

Tomorrow, if only we can make it to tomorrow.

His first wife, who could control the harem and was absolutely loyal to him, was about to arrive.

So where should I stay for the night?

Walking down the street, Lieutenant Phoenix, who had forgotten to ask Viper for money, thought for a moment and suddenly came up with an answer that surprised even himself.

——He could go to Sakura and ask for a guest room.

After all, the eldest lady broke one of his legs a few days ago, right?

I think it shouldn't be a problem to stay here for one night.

Such a large Qingming Festival association shouldn’t be so short of having a guest room available.

Chapter 218 You Wake Up

Late at night, an off-road jeep crossed the roads and finally slowly stopped at the gate of a retro mansion.

As they stepped out of the car, Sakura's personal maid, Hosokawa Rinka, came towards them.

The expressionless woman in a Japanese kimono had been waiting here for a long time. She bowed slightly, greeted the approaching guests politely as usual, and then without saying a word, she took the lieutenant to the master's study.

Obviously, this did not meet Phoenix's expectations of staying overnight.

……

"Lieutenant, what brings you here so late at night?"

In the study room that seemed to be stained by dusk, Sakura put down the work she was doing, stood up gracefully, folded her hands in front of her stomach, and told the man in front of her about her inner doubts.

Long-term intrigue and deception made it difficult for the young lady to believe someone's request for a place to stay.

On the other side, Phoenix immediately understood what Sakura was thinking after hearing her serious question. He could only blink awkwardly and replied:

"This... I mean it literally, nothing else. Um... it should be a piece of cake for you, right?"

Cherry blossoms:"……"

Looking at the burns on the lieutenant's face, the young lady found it hard to imagine that the other party called her in the middle of the night just to find a place to sleep.

"I understand."

He closed his eyes helplessly, only to hear the girl's calm tone as she gave instructions into the communication channel.

"Rinka, show the guest to the guest room."

"Yes."

laugh--

The soundproof door of the study was opened, and the shameless lieutenant walked out of the room frankly, touching his nose under the seemingly indifferent but actually disgusted look of Hosokawa Rinka.

"Ahem, please lead the way, Miss Hosokawa."

"Please follow me, guest."

The maid bowed respectfully again, then turned and walked towards the west side of the mansion...

……

Ta-ta-ta-ta

Walking on the real wooden floor, Phoenix followed Rinka through several corridors. After admiring the oriental poetic landscape along the way, the two finally arrived at the guest rooms in the west courtyard.

The rooms are not big, but they are beautifully decorated.

The light woody aroma in the air made people unconsciously calm and peaceful, and even aroused Phoenix's mental fatigue for a while.

Compared to hotels like Atlantis that focus on luxury and fantasy, men naturally prefer this kind of simple and elegant single room with full of charm.

"If you need anything later, please let me know."

Seeing that the lieutenant looked satisfied, Rinhua, who provided very professional service, consciously left the private room, leaving the guest with enough time to be alone.

And what about Phoenix?

As he had not been able to take a shower in recent days, the unscrupulous man, feeling tired, got into bed without any hesitation, sent a message to Anis and Marianne saying "I have something to do tonight" and fell asleep immediately.

……

Nothing happened all night,

In Sakura's mansion, Phoenix didn't have to worry about the assassination at all, nor did he have to consider whether Anik or Falin would wake him up halfway.

Therefore, the lieutenant, who was accustomed to light sleep, did not mind lowering his vigilance and allowing his brain to enter a state of deep sleep.

Of course, dreamless deep sleep is limited. The sleep cycle of a normal person should be an alternation of deep and light sleep. When entering the light sleep stage, people have the probability of falling into dreams.

This is a physiological mechanism, and Phoenix is ​​no exception.

So that night, in the lieutenant's rare dream, he and his beloved Mihaela lived a shameless and delusional life.

Unfortunately, dreams are just dreams after all, and there will always be a moment to wake up.

But what surprised the man was that when he opened his eyes dazedly, two pretty faces that shouldn't be here came into his sight.

"Are you awake? Commander~"

"Commander, did you sleep well in someone else's house?"

Phoenix: “…”

Nightmare,

It must be a nightmare!

I had already greeted Anis, Marianne and the others, so how did these two girls find Sakura Mansion?

Most importantly, Sakura actually let them in? ! !

The lieutenant, who was afraid to face the reality, slowly closed his eyes, trying to erase the horrific scene he had just seen by going back to sleep.

nothing,

It must be because I have been too busy these days and have undergone large-scale prosthetic transplants, which led to this rare dream within a dream.

nothing,

As long as I get some more sleep, the nightmare will surely pass.

……

Dozens of minutes later, after a nap, someone opened his eyes again...

"Are you awake? Commander~"

"Commander, did you sleep well in someone else's house?"

Phoenix: “…”

This time, Agnes and Marianne did not give the lieutenant a chance to escape. They knelt on both sides of the man, bent down further, and lowered their heads. Their two youthful and energetic faces were almost touching each other.

"Is this what the Commander (Lord Commander) meant by 'something tonight'?"

Gollum—

Facing the questions from his wives, the man's Adam's apple slid up and down, and then he struggled to control his facial muscles and managed to pull out a stiff smile like a puppet.

"Well... I discussed some business with Sakura yesterday, so I slept in the guest room."

Anis: "I see~ It seems that the business the commander talked about is really important~ What is it? Why didn't he tell us about it?"

Marianne: "Commander, Ms. Sakura has informed us in advance that she did not discuss anything with you last night."

Phoenix: “…”

In a moment, when she heard Marian say that Sakura had cut off her retreat in advance!

How could the lieutenant not understand that the overly clever woman did it on purpose?

"Well...I...I am..."

Under the extremely dangerous gazes of his wives, Phoenix hesitated for a long time and couldn't find a reasonable reason to cover up his real motive for escaping reality last night.

With no way out, the man had to try to change the subject.

"Oh yes, Mihala and Yuni should be coming over today, I need to go pick them up."

As he said this, the lieutenant pretended to be serious and tried to get up from the tatami. But when he was halfway up, Anis suddenly pushed him back to the floor with both hands.

thump!

"Hmm! Miha, Miha, Miha. Commander didn't go home last night just to wait for Miha, right? "

The sour words filled every corner of the room.

On the other side, Marian nodded in agreement. "It's only ten o'clock in the morning. Isn't it too early to pick up Mihala now, Commander?"

"..."

Sensing the eagerness in the two concubines' eyes and watching their cheeks gradually blush, Phoenix, who thought something was wrong, quickly reminded them:

"Wait, wait! This is someone's guest room, so early in the morning..."

“Stop, stop, stop, stop!”

"Don't break it!"

“I only have this pair of shorts!”

……

……

Although it is not spring yet, the room is already filled with spring colors.

bulibuli! m-boer~

At some point, the cell phone that had been pushed into the corner began to ring with a message.

[Viper: Good morning, dear?]

[Venomous Snake: I have already taught the jackal a lesson. She will never dare to kick the door directly next time.]

[Venomous Snake: I have arranged all the follow-up matters at the hotel. Honey, what is today's schedule?]
