NIKKE, when the stars bloom

[Venomous Snake: Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu~ Why are you ignoring me~]

The girl on the other end of the phone got no response, so she had to pretend to cry pitifully through text.

Little did they know that in the guest room on the other end of the phone, the girls' uncontrollable sobbing could be heard from time to time.

Chapter 219: The waist muscles are almost strained

My second brother,

If you ask yourself, this thing was somewhat unacceptable to Phoenix at the beginning.

Although he was covered with heat-resistant artificial skin, the prosthesis itself could only achieve about 70% of the realistic feeling, which inevitably made the lieutenant feel that his happiness as a man was greatly weakened.

However, when the lieutenant stepped onto the battlefield with his new gun and engaged in a turbulent siege, this view was torn to pieces on the spot.

Phoenix found out he was wrong...

And it is totally wrong. Extremely wrong.

Men's happiness is not only the happiness of touch, but also the quadruple satisfaction from vision, hearing and spirit.

When Phoenix successfully unlocked the new memories of Anis and Marianne and experienced a thrilling audio-visual feast, the naive man actually thought that from today on, he would completely take the initiative on the battlefield...

Unfortunately, reality kindly reminded the lieutenant that he had forgotten an important thing.

——It’s true that I am a cyborg, but my wives are also cyborgs, and the transformation rate is as high as 98%, and the remaining 2% is the brain’s cyborg.

So, after an hour of intense bloody fighting, the lieutenant suddenly felt some pain in his waist and abdomen...

But due to the boring face issues of men, the stubborn man gritted his teeth and persisted for another half an hour.

then,

Phoenix, unable to straighten his back, once again humbly asked his wives to surrender with a complete defeat.

……

"Hmm... hurry up and think of a solution! It's all the Commander's fault!"

After getting dressed, Anis, her face almost as red as an apple, picked up the quilt scattered on the floor in embarrassment, and her eyes kept looking at the collapsed solid wood low table in the middle of the room.

That table is not an iron table painted with wood!!!

When she thought about the maid coming to clean the room later, Anis wanted to climb over the wall and escape from Miss Sakura's mansion right now.

It is best to leave the outer zone directly and find a completely new social environment to start a new life.

Similarly, Marianne's pretty face was not much better than her comrade's. Her rosy skin spread all the way from her neck to her ears, as if wisps of hot air would come out of the girl's head in the next second.

Scratches,

A scratch on the floor.

Deep, shallow, long, and broken, just the location and density of the scratches made Marian's mind uncontrollably play the related recorded images.

Too embarrassed to see anyone...

She was about to die completely socially in front of Ms. Sakura.

"Commander... How about we book this guest room..." Looking at her man getting dressed, Marian squatted on the ground in despair, covering her cheeks, and suggested with despair:

"We... maybe we can delay it for a day and find a way to restore this place."

Seeing the girls gradually regretting their actions, Lieutenant Phoenix, who was trying to stand up with his hands on his lower back, replied shamelessly:

"Don't bother with that. At most I can just compensate Sakura. Anyway, Ma Shiding still owes me 20 million.

It's just a solid wooden table and a few square feet of tatami. No matter how valuable it is, it can't exceed three million credit points."

After hearing what someone said, there was no reason for the two girls not to be anxious.

Anis: "Ah~ah~! This is not a matter of losing money! If it weren't for the commander insisting... on the table... um——! Anyway, anyway..."

"Anyway, we must not let Ms. Sakura know!"

Marian tacitly took over her comrade's stuttering words, resisted the waves of shyness in her heart, clenched her fists, and spoke in a threatening tone.

"Otherwise, in the future...I won't accompany the Commander like that!"

Phoenix: “……?”

Phoenix: “!!!”

……

……

"You mean... you want to stay for a long time?"

When the lieutenant shamelessly asked to rent a room, Sakura, who knew everything but had no idea of ​​the current status of the guest room, revealed a scrutinizing aura that only a superior could have.

"Do you think our Qingming Association is so short of funds that we need to rely on renting guest rooms to survive?"

"Five million, for a year's rent."

Cherry blossoms:"……"

Five million credit points, this is not a small amount.

In fact, even for giants like the three major companies, if they want to come up with 5 million in working capital outside of the budget at once, they still need to go through layers of review and approval until the board of directors, CEO, and finance department agree.

After all, 90% of the Ark citizens work their entire lives, and their total salary over forty years is only two to three million.

So, are you moved by Sakura?

The answer is of course yes, but spending five million to rent a guest room for only one year is too strange for the young lady.

"One room? Who said I want to rent one room? I want to rent the west courtyard. The whole courtyard costs 5 million a year, including water, electricity, food, housekeeping services, security, everything is included in this."

How could Phoenix not have thought of what Sakura was worried about?

But considering his future happy life, he had no choice but to make a large plate of dumplings for a dish of vinegar.

"Anyway, I need a safe house, a safe house with a very high security level. If you think the price is too low, we can negotiate.

Oh, yes, don’t let your servants clean the west yard for now, I still have secret documents in my room.”

The man just kept lying with his eyes open, without blushing or stuttering at all, transferring all the pressure to Sakura.

And what about the eldest lady?

She is indeed short of money these days. In the past two days, she renovated a brothel business outlet under the Qingming Association into a service center integrating a restaurant, supermarket and accommodation.

Although the profits at the beginning of its opening were terrible, as its fame grew, the service center's profit curve also continued to rise.

But growth is growth and losses are losses. If Sakura's think tank team really wants to make the service center's accounts profitable, it estimates that it will take two to three months.

As for when the investment can be recovered, optimistically speaking, it will take two years.

"Eight and a half million."

Sakura, who seemed rich but actually had an empty wallet, tentatively raised the price. In order not to expose her current situation of being short of money, the girl also covered up for herself.

"The lieutenant is involved with so many forces, the security fee cannot be..."

"make a deal."

Cherry blossoms:"……"

Seeing Phoenix nodded in agreement without thinking, the eldest lady felt a sudden pain in her heart.

Less...

If she had known this, she should have doubled the price.

On the other side, the second lieutenant secretly decided that after picking up Mihaela and Yuni in the afternoon, he would go to the luxurious casino in the den of money and make some money from capitalism.

Gambling money,

If you don’t take it, you won’t get it.

……

……

"Instructor~!"

flutter--!

When Phoenix returned to the location agreed upon with the intelligence department, the man never expected that the first person to jump out of the van would be the cute and silly Tia.

Inside the car, apart from Nadja who was carrying luggage and weapons, there was no other sign of Nikki.

A reality that is totally different from expectations.

This made the second lieutenant, who was still holding the student in his arms, subconsciously utter words of suicidal intent.

"Where's Mihala?"

"Well?"

Hearing the instructor who was patting her head actually calling out other women's names, Tia's pretty face, which had been happy and excited, fell on the spot. She groaned and hugged the man's narrow waist tightly, just about to act coquettishly...

"hiss--!"

The person who felt like his waist was about to be broken by the hug suddenly had a stiff expression, and stretched out his hands to pry JK's soft arms, muttering to himself.

"Gently...gently, the instructor's back injury hasn't healed yet."

Tia: “Hmm???”

Chapter 220: If you don't have money, go find a gambler

"Back injury?"

Hearing the instructor's gasps, it didn't sound fake. Tia, who was still feeling jealous the second before, puffed up her cute fair cheeks the next moment, and her watery eyes showed both heartache and anger.

"A bad guy is bullying the instructor?!"

Anis: "..."

Marianne: "..."

Behind the lieutenant, the two guilty instigators simultaneously looked away, pretending to observe the situation around them.

"Ahem! No, I just can't get used to the new prosthesis yet, so the muscles in my waist and abdomen are a little strained."

Phoenix skillfully pulled Tia's hands apart, and with a slight swell and soreness in his lower back, he quickly changed the subject:

"Come to think of it, why did you guys come here first? What's going on with Mihara and Yuni?"

"Reporting to the instructor, Yuni was told this morning that she would need to temporarily replace her new combat prosthesis, so she will have to come in two days."

Naga, who got off the bus with her luggage, answered the instructor's questions for Tia. Then, she heard the top student from MMR High School give a helpless advice:

"Instructor, you really need to change your habit of not checking your phone messages."

Anis: "..."

Marianne: "..."

After hearing Naga's unintentional words, the two girls subconsciously blinked their eyes and dug their toes hard on the soles of their shoes.

They know best why someone has no habit of looking at their mobile phone.

As for Phoenix, he had already taken out his phone, which had only a little battery left. The moment he turned on the screen, he was greeted by a barrage of "99+" messages.

There were reports from Viper, inquiries from Rabbi, greetings from Helen, and group chat messages from the squadron.

What the lieutenant didn't expect was that there was a little ghost's avatar mixed in the row of unread contact messages.

[Shu En: I have verified the matter of the obedient drug. It is true that someone is making it privately. I didn't expect that a poor guy like you would have such a reliable intelligence network.]

[Shu En: Forget it. Since you told me about this, I will give that scrap metal Yuni a new combat prosthesis and we are even.]

[Shu En: Oh, yes, I already know that you are going to the Far North. ]
