Drizzling rain, work as usual; heavy rain, keep working; sunny day, work vigorously; night, work by the light of the lamp. The Earth will not explode, we will not rest; the universe will not restart, the Extraordinary Tools Unit will never rest!
"Another overtime day, son, get up and work!"
Early in the morning, at dawn, Liter pushed the door of the Commander's office and dragged the still asleep Glenn out of bed.
"I worked until two in the morning. Let me sleep a little longer," Glenn muttered, pulling the blanket higher over his body. "Anyway, you just watch the repair, Liter."
"Impossible!"
"Who the hell calls people to clean up and go straight to sleep alone? Get up now!" Liter angrily grabbed Glenn by the arm, trying to pull him out of bed.
However, Glenn tightly held the bed frame with both hands, as calm as a mountain, not moving in the slightest.
"Ugh, can't pull it off!"
"Do you really not want to wake up that much?"
Sweating, Liter stood by the bed, staring at Glenn who was covering his head with a blanket. The old woman could only sigh helplessly.
Lazy boy!
"It's not that I don't want to get up, Liter, I'm just too tired. I've been a little less energetic lately."
"As long as the Liter kisses me, I can get up." Glenn, who suddenly turned into a flirtatious man, reached out his hand from under the blanket and gestured at Liter.
"W-what are you doing, son!" Liter's old face turned red, and she scolded sweetly, "I'm not your mother!"
"Don't want to? Then I'll sleep again."
Glenn's hands drooped languidly.
Hmph, chatty old lady. If you don't want to give it to me, I'll ask Marian.
"You, you… you, you, you..."
"I'm really sick of it. How old are you, and you still want me to kiss you? Are you still an immature child?" Liter stamped her foot, but seeing the lethargic Glenn under the blanket, after a fierce inner struggle, she still shyly approached and grasped Glenn's hand. "Hey, kid, I only gave you this once, don't even try... Uh, uh, eh?!"
Before Liter could react, Glenn pulled the little Liter into the blanket.
"Waaah, what are you doing, boy!"
"I said, I want a kiss."
"Then don't pull me! And where did you kiss me? That's my leg!"
"Huh?"
Bang!
The door of the Commander's office was suddenly pushed open by Neat and two others.
Neat and the other two always got up early, but when they saw Liter on the bed, putting her foot in Glenn's mouth, even Neat felt like he was hallucinating.
"Hmm."
"Am I dreaming? I actually saw Commander and Liter stacked up." Neat fixed the hat on his head and pinched his thigh. He actually fantasizes about Grim and the other Nikkes making out, but Liter is not on his fantasy list.
"I might wake up too early. I even saw the Commander eat Liter's foot." Anis, still dizzy, closed her eyes and muttered, "If this is a nightmare, please don't let me keep watching."
"Wow, an old cow eats young grass!" Neon pointed at Liter and shouted.
"You guys, listen to my explanation. This is all the kid's fault!"
Liter, her face flushed, got out of bed and told the three young members of the Counterattack Squad what had happened that morning.
Neat: "So the Commander just wants to lie on the bed?"
Anis: "Okay, I understand the feeling. After all, Liter grandmothers are pedantic."
Neon: "If the Master wants a kiss, why not ask me?"
"Everyone, please listen to me. It's just a misunderstanding."
Grim solemnly took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. "But I don't want to explain too much. Let's get straight to the point."
Welcoming the morning sun, Grim brings Liter and the Counterattack Squad to the damaged building and begins repair work.
Liter held a large construction tablet, observed and muttered while scribbling on it: "Building damage rate 42%. The areas in need of repair include: the main gate, the foundation, 72 glass windows, counters, tables, display cases and 46 other items… It is recommended to knock down and rebuild… Estimated concrete consumption… Oh, I guess so."
"The list of materials is complete. Centi, drive the engineering vehicle and load all the materials I need into the back."
"Then we will prepare to pour concrete."
"All right, Senior!"
Shortly thereafter, Centi drove an engineering vehicle, hauling all the materials Liter needed to The Outpost. Furthermore, the two of them demonstrated the working efficiency of the Extraordinary Tools Unit. In just a few hours, Grim watched the collapsed store rise from the ground. Not only does it look new from the outside, the damaged furniture and interior are perfect again.
"Oh, really worthy of the Extraordinary Tools Unit."
"It feels like as long as you give them the ingredients, they can even make a Gundam!" Anis stared at the store building in front of her, unable to help but exclaim, "So when can you renovate our dormitory?"
"Anis, I've told you many times, your dorm water heater is fine, and the pipes are normal." Liter, who was sitting in the engineering vehicle, stuck out her head and shouted at Anis: "At least there were no problems during the inspection!"
"But the shower did not produce hot water!"
"Maybe there are ghosts?" Neon blinked and said, "I heard The Outpost was once a landfill for Nikke's remains. Maybe every time you take a shower, there's a ghost standing next to the shower, quietly regulating the temperature of the water..."
Anis's little face paled. "Don't talk anymore! That's really scary!"
Me: "Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Anis: "How could I be afraid! And Neon, have you forgotten that you were possessed by a ghost?"
Neon was dumbfounded. "Eh? When?"
"That was when we took the elevator… Wait a minute, what's that sound?" Anis fell silent, looking at the distant sky. She saw several grenades streaking with beautiful trajectories in the sky, flying towards the waiter's cafe at The Outpost.
Bang!
Under everyone's astonished gazes, the still intact cafe instantly shattered into pieces, burning violently.
"Anis, Neon, enemy attack, FF formation!"
"Wait, Neat, that person who shot, looks like someone we know!"
"Ah, who is it?"
From the midst of the smoke, the perpetrator of it all, Privaty, who was wearing the uniform of the Central Government, slowly appeared.
