NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Now It's Fantasy Time
Drake: @DailyCoffeeDrinker (Thorin), this is a forum for adults. Kids, out.
Thorin: H-how did you know?
Thorin: Wait a second, I'm not a kid! I go to work every day, okay? Being a corporate slave is exhausting!
Privaty: Is this really the time to be chatting about this?
Privaty: Everyone here must have seen it, right? The commander said it himself—he already has someone he likes!
Privaty: And I bet there's a good chance that person is me!
Anis: ?
Anis: Ugh, are you done with your wet dreams?
Anis: You can fool others, but don't fool yourself. It's one thing to deceive the other Nikke, everyone just laughs it off, but I hope you wipe your eyes after typing that so your tears don't fall on your phone screen.
Anis: Besides, I've been the one frequenting the consultation room these days. How many times have you been there, huh? If we calculate statistically, the commander is way more likely to like me!
Neon: I've been to the consultation room too. Why can't it be me? (Pouting)
Privaty: Hmph, I'm not going to argue with you about such a boring topic.
Privaty: @Everyone, stop lurking. Anyone who's been to the consultation room these past few days, type '1'!
Rapunzel: 1111
Sugar: 1111
Maiden: 1111
Drake: 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
High-Paying Experiment Participants Wanted (Maxwell): Don't @ me if there's nothing important; I'm busy.
Drake: Maxwell, I clearly saw you go to the consultation room yesterday!
Maxwell: I was just testing something with Cutey once, that's all.
On a Ground Mission (Laplace): I don't really want to join this conversation, but I have been to the consultation room a few times these days...
Anis: Laplace!!! We're supposed to be good friends! I can't believe even someone with big, honest eyes like you is running to the consultation room every day!
Anis: The commander is mine! You all better back off!
Laplace: ...
Laplace: Anis, stop hogging the commander's bathroom next time.
Anis: Huh? How is that my fault? It's not my fault the infrastructure at the outpost base is so terrible! Our dorm environment is practically like a roofed alley!
Neon: Exactly, stinky Laplace doesn't like bathing, but fragrant us must take hot baths!
Anis: Bath time!
Neon: Bath time!!
Anis: Bath time!!!
Neon: Bath bath bath bath!!
Anis: Bath bath bath bath bath!!
Anis: I'm going to take a bath now. Bye, everyone!
Laplace: Anis, wait, don't go. We still have a patrol mission later.
[Soda Lover (Anis) has left the chat]
Privaty: She just wants to get close to the commander! I-I'm going to the commander's room to bathe too!
Laplace: Doesn't the Central Government dorm have hot water?
Privaty: Of course it does! It's just... there's been a temporary issue, that's all!
Laplace: ....
Laplace: @William, I have a question. Is that screenshot you posted real?
Even someone as usually serious as Laplace was caught up in this matter. Grinning, Green typed a line while holding back laughter.
William: Of course, it's real.
Neon: Wow, now this is a huge deal!
Drake: Spread the word: Tonight, the commander of the Counters Squad is going to choose a Nikke to sleep in the consultation room.
Soline: R-really? That 'sleep'... is it what I think it means?
Rapunzel: Got it. My brother must want to first... (indecent words) and then... (vulgar speech)...
Rapunzel: (Dark description) (twisted crawling) (filthy language) (ominous depiction) (shocking knowledge)
Rapunzel: In the end, I'd be lying on the bed, drenched in sweat, with my tongue hanging out...
Soline: Is this a topic I can read for free? 😳
[For inappropriate remarks, administrator Rapunzel has been muted by the forum AI for 10 minutes.]
Polly: I just got here. What's everyone talking about?
Polly: W-w-what? The-the-the commander is going to sleep with a Nikke? Is it true?
Rupee: Sweetie is going to sleep with someone? Hehehe... My Sweetie...
Blanc: Is this true? The Pit Boss is really going to pick a Nikke to sleep with tonight?
Drake: I'm the villain here. If I say it's true, then it's true.
Drake: Hurry up and thank me for leaking this info.
On the other hand, Green's eyes almost popped out of his sockets. Drake, what nonsense are you spouting?
