Marian took Anis's clothes but did not immediately wear them. Instead, he held the shirt under his nose and sniffed softly.
"Why does it smell...a little...smell?"
"What? There is no smell at all!"
"All my clothes are so clean, where does it smell?! Anis's face turned red, and she hurriedly gritted her teeth to defend herself: "Marian, put it on quickly! If you dare to tell me that my clothes stink again, you won't get any more snacks!"
"Snack~"
Marian seems to understand only the word"snack".
A happy smile appeared on her innocent face, then she obediently changed into an Anis jacket.
"Commander, this time is not tight!"
Marian shook her slightly extended sleeve, and said to Grim with a smile.
"Mm."
"Next time I'll take you to buy clothes."
After gently stroking Marian's head, Grim picked up another preschool education handbook and began to teach tirelessly.
"What is a cow?"
"Ungulate mammals are even, with delicious meat. Once domesticated by humans, these mammals are widely used in agriculture and milk production."
"What is a sheep?"
"Also included are even-toed ungulates, but sheep are different from cows. They often have warm wool, and this wool can be woven into clothes. In short, they are also mammals."
"Why do people shower?"
"Because cleansing the body can eliminate body odor and make you feel fresh."
"Why do the women in the magazines the Commander likes to read always wear underwear outside?"
"Eh, this..."
Education is a difficult task.
It was only the first day, and Grim, who had never been a father, was already deeply feeling the difficulty of Education.
Marian was like "Why?"who runs, constantly asks questions to neat and Grim, and he processes the information very quickly. Once Grim finished answering one question, Marian would ask another.
As for Anis and Neon, they had already returned to the dormitory to sleep again.
After a while, Grim tiredly closed the book and sighed: "education is really a difficult job."
"I need to make a cup of coffee to wake me up. Neat too?"
Rapi also closed his book, then sighed heavily: "Commander, although I don't really like it, please make one for me."
"Okay."
Although both are stimulating plant-based drinks, Ark coffee and real coffee are not the same thing. It is not only the raw material that differs, but also its bitter and sharp taste. Such drinks taste less like "coffee" but rather are more of an energy drink to stay awake, as the name implies, coffee.
Grim brewed two cups of coffee and put it on the table.
As soon as she sat down, Marian leaned over, staring excitedly at the coffee on the table.
"What, you want some coffee, Marian?"Grim winked at Neat with a smile.
"Commander, I want to drink it!"
"Then drink."
Marian took a coffee, sipped it, and her whole face was grim.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, it's so bitter, I won't drink it."
"Commander, liar, evil!"
Looking at Marian who was about to shed tears with bitterness, Rapi picked up his own coffee cup and burst out laughing: "Marian, it's because you want to taste everything."
"Don't do that next time, okay? Be a good woman."
"All Right, Neat Teacher."
She agreed to it verbally, but after Marian was silent for a while, she walked over to the refrigerator again and quietly opened the refrigerator door.
He chose between bottles and cans on display in the refrigerator, finally choosing a wine-flavored carbonated drink. With a fizzy voice, he opened the lid and immediately raised his head, gulping down the contents.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp~ so good!"
"Marian, you're secretly drinking soda again. Anis is going to be furious."
"Anis will eventually drink it all, so I'll drink it first!"
"What kind of logic is that..."
Rapi gives a warning, but he does not stop Marian's actions.
Nikkes are not like humans; as long as their bodies are not damaged, they can evaporate a certain amount of the liquid they drink through their internal circulatory system.
For example, Anis, when her craving for soda appears, will drink at least a dozen cans of soda a day, without the same taste. If humans drink that much, it is likely that they have had diabetes for a long time.
"It's okay, carbonated drinks are not very valuable. We'll fill it up later."
"I can afford that much budget," Grim said over a cup of coffee.
"Commander, you are still too soft on Anis and the others."
Neatly shook his head.
Although Grim was always very generous, he would basically grant Nikke of the Counterattack Squad any request he could fulfill.
But this will inevitably create a sense of dependence.
Neat really can't imagine what would happen to Anis and Neon if Grim disappeared one day, losing himself.
Their thought processes will probably change, and then they will be forcibly removed or their memories erased by The Ark.
"Well..."
Neatly dispose of complex emotions in his mind.
Then, he looked at Grim and suddenly asked: "Commander, you used the funds from The Outpost yesterday. May I ask what you bought with that money?"
Grim replied: "Not much, just supplies for long-term operation, such as batteries, food and drinking water."
"Long-term operation?"
"Has the Central Government assigned another mission?"
"Not really."
Grim looked at Marian beside him and said softly: "this is to protect her, neat."
A neat expression hardened: "Commander, you mean?"
Grim said: "neat, imagine yourself in their position. Imagine that you are a high-ranking official in the Ark Government, with extensive connections and unlimited resources. Right now, a Commander with a not very high status suddenly appeared before you, and in his army, there was even a special Nikke."
"If you dissect and study that Nikke, Nikke Ark technology can advance a hundred years, and even retaking the Surface is no longer an empty promise."
"If it were you, what would you do?"
Immaculate was silent for a moment, then replied: "I will try my best to catch him."
Grim nodded: "exactly."
"Although it is somewhat frustrating, I must admit that I, as now, can hardly compete with those politicians who have been in power for a long time."
"After all, the only person I can trust is Nikke, because they have a whole army of humans."
"If they send humans to capture Marian, and you, as Nikke, are unable to shoot humans due to NIMPH's presence, we will most likely only be able to watch helplessly as those people carry Marian away."
"Commander, what should we do?"
Neat looking fidget.
Although she has always been known for her composure, as Nikke, what can she do?
Grim put down his cup, looking intently into his eyes: "we still have plenty of time. We need to get more supplies and shells now, and put up a defensive line at The Outpost, preparing ourselves for the enemy."
"As the saying goes, one blow can prevent a hundred blows from coming."
"Even if someday, we really have to let Marian go."
"I will make those who want it pay a very high price. With this hand, I will slaughter them all, no one will live."
