Arknights, but all characters are NPCs?

"Don't be like this...Ah! And oh, I've been concerned about you since just now, you..."

"My name is Sora, you can just call me Sora-chan."

"Sora? Okay, Sora-chan! Your clothes are so cute, but aren't the white stockings and thigh-high boots a little weird? Also, Sora-chan, are you really Rupert? Why aren't your ears and tail wagging?"

“Ahahaha… why…”

"By the way, Croissant? Your name is Croissant, right? Croissant, why is there a word "meat" written on your vest?"

very noisy...

You, an angel, are not even a social expert. You are a social terrorist, right?

Seeing that the little idol Kongdu was embarrassed by the questioning, Texas naturally sighed and turned to walk over there.

But when she passed by the chair where the emperor was sitting, she said to him in a very quiet voice: "Thank you."

The voice was very small, but who was the Great Emperor? He was the Lord of Beasts.

So the emperor immediately showed a gratified expression, like an old father who saw his daughter grow up.

only--

With a thud.

Texas walked behind Angelica and hit her head with a knife. After knocking the halo above her head crooked, Texas sighed and said, "Watch your words, newcomer. Kong is your senior after all. Show her some respect."

Well...it would be better if Texas's temperament was a little more cheerful...and a little more gentle.

The emperor thought so in his heart.

... ... ...

... ...

...

"Has it been dealt with?"

Late at night.

The emperor sat alone at the table, smoking a cigar.

The emperor asked this after looking at Texas who had just come out of the Angel's room and took out tape to put some precautions on his door.

It has good eyesight, so even from such a distance, it can see the so-called precautions posted by Texas. The first one is:

"After returning from outside, take a shower, wash your feet, change your socks, and disinfect your shoes."

Although Texas told the emperor about the dream world, he concealed what exactly happened there.

Therefore, the Emperor had no idea what had stimulated Texas. After returning from the dream world, he kept his distance from "black stockings and sneakers".

But Texas cannot force everyone to do this. For example, the little idol Kong wears white stockings and high boots. Should this be regulated?

So Texas simply told every new person who came that they should pay attention to the things they should pay attention to.

I can only say that Penguin Logistics is notorious... so famous that no one wants to be a guest. Otherwise, if others see those precautions, they will probably think that Penguin Logistics is obsessed with "foot washing".

"It's taken care of."

After Texas pasted the precautions, he nodded and turned around.

"Angel of Power was clamoring to have a party, so I gave in to her wishes. When she was tired from playing, I assigned her a temporary room and let her go to sleep."

"I will try to take her to deliver packages starting tomorrow. Once she becomes proficient, Penguin Logistics will be settled down."

The Emperor had no problem with the handling of Texas.

Seeing Texas approaching, the emperor put out the cigar in his hand, took a sip of wine, and said, "What about the dream world? Texas, it seems that you have never been there again since that time? I got some information from Rhodes Island. I heard that it was written by Kal'tsit. Take a look."

"Ah."

Texas nodded: "I don't know why I haven't entered the dream world again. Maybe... it's because I don't have any obsessions anymore?"

182. Lu Shang: Oh, what a rare visitor, German dog

The Great brought Texas from Columbia to Longmen, keeping her away from the fray.

The emperor established Penguin Logistics for her in Longmen, giving her a new home.

The emperor recruited some good employees for her, giving her new companions.

Under the hard work of the great emperor like an old father, Texas really did not have such a deep obsession with the so-called family.

Although her current temperament can still be described as "cold" and even a little unkind, it is still much better than the suicidal attitude at the beginning, isn't it?

Texas even feels that life is pretty good now.

It would be even better if it could continue like this.

But...is it possible?

Texas is not the type of person who worries about everything, but...she can't ignore the other her.

In the dream world, I see another Texas, Silent Texas.

The dreamer said that the NPC Silent Texas was her future self.

But she was not blind. The clothes worn by the NPC in Silent Texas were obviously of the family style.

Why would she wear that kind of clothes?

In the future, she returned to Syracuse? Did her family come after her again? What about Penguin Logistics?

This kind of life...will it only last a few years at most?

So what she is doing now...does it really make sense?

"Texas...?"

“Texas!”

"Texas, don't be dazed all of a sudden--!!!"

call out.

A crossbow arrow whizzed past Texas' ear, waking her up suddenly.

Texas then realized that it was already the second day. Except for their boss, the Emperor, all the staff of Penguin Logistics were now delivering the first express with Angel Exia.

It is actually common to encounter gangsters while delivering couriers. After all, Penguin Logistics is a courier company, but they really dare to accept anything.

They gave everything from a small glass bead to a big mushroom egg.

This naturally attracted the covetousness of some people, and now, he has been targeted.

But for some reason, Texas suddenly became dazed during the battle.

When she woke up, a gangster had already walked up to her with a crowbar.

Just as he was about to taste the power of the holy sword of physics, he heard a gunshot and "bang!" The gangster fell to the ground and fell into a peaceful sleep.

The next second, Croissant held up his shield and gave a thumbs up to the Archangel squatting in the sniper position in the distance: "Nice support! Well done, new guy!"

He then ran up to Texas, slammed his shield to the ground, and held it upright: "Texas! Are you still awake?!"

"Ah...sorry."

Texas shook his head and took a deep breath, "Air! Support!"

"Leave it to me! Next, listen to Requiem!"

Singing came from all directions.

Singing on the battlefield is actually a pretty funny thing, but it's Sora's Originium skill.

Ability to act directly on hearing.

As long as the ears are not deaf, this Originium technique will directly stimulate the enemy's brain, causing it to have the effects of "dizziness" and "sleeping".

And the last——

"Hoo...Sword Rain!"

Texas swung the sword in his hand, dealing the final blow to the enemies who had been affected by Sora's ability and were standing still.

... ... ...

... ...

...

"Wow...is this the end?"

"Are these people all desperate?"

"Seniors, can I see what the package we delivered is? Why are there so many people trying to grab it?"

Because there were too many people coveting the packages in their hands this time.

Texas and his men had been fighting almost from dawn to dusk, and now it was late at night, so they had to temporarily retreat to an unfinished house on the roadside as a temporary safe house.

"No."

Naturally, the proposal of the Archangel was rejected.

"Just rest here tonight. I'll get something to eat, and then—"

The "meat" on Croissant's vest wasn't written for nothing. She took out the stove from the off-road bag on her back and prepared to start cooking.

Exia is an optimist and definitely wouldn't mind such a camping trip, but even though Sora is a little idol, he can't survive if he's too squeamish.

As for Texas...

"Texas? What's wrong?"

Looking at Texas, the only one frowning, Kong couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Are you in a bad mood? How about contacting the boss and asking him to pick us up?"

"No...I just...never mind."

Texas is actually not a pampered person. She had experienced all kinds of hardships when she was wandering alone in Colombia.

She was just a little concerned... there would definitely be no water supply in this unfinished house.

Without water supply, you can't take a bath, and without a bath...

Texas turned his head and looked at Exia who was wearing black stockings and sneakers, at Sora who was wearing white stockings and long boots, at Croissant who was not sure if she was wearing socks and Martin boots, and...himself.

Texas always felt that she was becoming a little mysophobic since she came back from the dream world.

There was nothing she could do, since it was the dreamer's fault for saying something like "stinky feet" in front of her.

"Well, since Texas isn't in a good mental state, I'll be the one keeping watch tonight."

The Angel of Power on the side looked at it, thought about it, and volunteered.

That's one good thing about being an optimist. Even in this situation, Exia can still joke: "Oh... You can see from the shiny fluorescent tube above my head that you won't be able to fall asleep if I lie next to you, and I forgot to bring my eye mask. Um... There's no difference between closing my eyes and opening them, it's as bright as day, so it's best for me to keep watch, and, look--"

The Archangel stood up and walked around: "Am I conspicuous? Am I bright? Even if an enemy approaches, they will definitely see me first, so I will be alert instantly."

So Texas and the others were successfully amused.

After all, the Archangel ran into the darkness, and in their eyes, there was really only a halo floating around.

So in the end I agreed with the decision of the Archangel.

After having a full meal, Angel squatted beside her holding her precious gun and began to keep watch. Texas also covered herself with her coat and fell into a light sleep.

This is actually her fault...

Texas thought so in his heart.

If she had not been dazed and lost the best opportunity to break out, she would not have been surrounded and had to stay here for the night.

So Texas was just taking a short nap. After all, if the enemy really came up, she would be able to fight back immediately.

"If the enemy really came up, they would probably be shocked by this Ah Neng. They couldn't understand how this unfortunate kid could become invisible by just squatting in the grass on the high platform? How could he not see through such a shiny fluorescent tube?"

"—?!"

The sudden male voice next to his ear woke Texas up suddenly.
