Chapter 101: Night at the East Shenzou Sea Base

"What are you daydreaming about? Move! Look at Ninti next to you. She's younger than you by a generation and only a few months old, yet her hands and feet are so nimble!"

In Cocolia's private kitchen, Sin stood on a small stool wearing a tiny apron, stirring the beef soup in the pot while scolding Bronya who was washing vegetables.

Bronya, who had been forced to work less than a day after returning to her family, turned her head and looked at Ninti. She was also at a faucet, washing vegetables with her small hands. At the same time, her tail, inlaid with silver-gray saber teeth, fluttered dazzlingly on the chopping board, quickly cutting tofu, meat, and other ingredients, and neatly sweeping them onto a plate.

Soon, Ninti finished processing the ingredients, and her tail moved to the faucet, rinsed and washed. She then put away the sharp saber teeth and wiped them clean with a towel. After that, Ninti used both hands and tail to place all kinds of food neatly on the table.

Then, she leaned on the edge of the table, stood on tiptoe, revealed a pair of clear and pure eyes, and said in a soft, tender voice:

"Do you want help?"

"She needs help! Isn't it impressive to make your mother so angry she can't sleep? Isn't it promising to run away from home? How come you can't even do this little housework now?" Sin sneered, standing on the bench and looking down at Bronya.

There was no doubt that Sin liked Bronya very much. This was because the two had a connection in childhood. At that time, Bronya tried to protect Sin from gangsters and became the first light in Sin's dark childhood. But Sin also loved her mother, Cocolia. The verbal dislike and the attachment and dependence in her heart were of equal strength.

When the two conflicted, Sin could only support the one who made more sense in her eyes. So this was a personal grudge, a revenge.

"You've finished your work, go out and play, and leave the rest to your big sister!"

"Okay, I'll go first, Sister Sin."

Ninti nodded obediently when Sin touched her head, then walked out of the kitchen in small steps.

Sin looked at her back and raised the corner of her mouth with satisfaction—finally, someone in this family could be useful, which was really a blessing in disguise!

Then, all the pressure was on Bronya. Under Sin's irritating and contemptuous expression, Bronya said in her heart with a wooden face, 'Project Bunny 19C!'

The quantized robot showed two hands behind Bronya, followed by dazzling movements.

After a while, several square plates of ingredients were placed on the table.

Sin raised her eyebrows, picked up a standard square potato, and said disdainfully:

"Tsk! It's just like the frozen products in the factory, without any soul."

"...That's enough Sin. Bronya can get angry too."

"You still want to hit me? Come on, today I'll let you know who the boss of this family is!"

"Bronya doesn't want to argue with you. Bronya is leaving."

Facing Sin who was about to roll up her sleeves and start working, Bronya had to avoid the confrontation. She was hungry and didn't want to offend the chef tonight.

It was definitely not because the eldest daughter, who ran away from home, felt guilty about the second daughter who had to shoulder the family burden.

Well, definitely not!

However, upon entering the living room, Bronya felt a little lost when she saw the three sisters Rosalia, Lilia, and Ninti huddled together watching TV. It seemed that she couldn't find her place all of a sudden.

Bronya felt an indescribable sense of loss, so she turned back to look at the kitchen and saw Sin's skilled and professional posture beside the fire.

She couldn't get used to it!

How did the old Sin, who was more irritable and willful than bikers, become such a housework expert?

It was so weird.

Taking another look, it was still so weird!

...

When the dazzling array of home-cooked dishes were placed on the table arousing her appetite, Bronya saw the three elders of Anti-Entropy who arrived late.

"Joachim, are you okay?" Ninti stepped on her pink cotton slippers and ran to Welt. Her expressionless little face had a pair of bright eyes that looked at him very seriously, as if they could reveal sincere and deep concern.

Welt's heart softened immediately. He leaned over and touched Ninti's little head, a gentle smile on his slightly weak face. "I'm fine. It's just a small wound with a hole in my heart. If I can catch my breath, it will be easy to reconstruct my body tissues and repair the wound."

"Huh, that's good!"

"What about you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Joachim, are you talking about the horns and tail? That's fine, and it's very convenient. I just used it to cut vegetables!" Ninti grabbed her slender and metallic purple tail. Two rows of saber teeth stretched out from the tip of the tail, like a chainsaw, and then retracted flexibly.

Then, as if showing off her prized doll, she raised the corners of her mouth, and two dimples appeared on her milky white face, looking like sweet honey.

Welt's eyes became more gentle, with a bit of pampering. "Anyway, everyone has worked hard this time. Let's take a rest today. Tomorrow, you can tell us what happened in Chiyou's body, and let Sister Ein help you check your body, okay?"

"Yes. I'll take you to dinner. Sister Sin's dinner is delicious. And I cut the tofu and meat tonight!"

"Hahaha, then I must taste it carefully."

"Yes, let's go!"

Looking at the backs of the two walking towards the restaurant hand in hand, Tesla and Einstein smiled at each other.

"Hey! This stupid Yang complained that we were too nice to Ninti a few days ago, and what happened? I said Ninti is so cute, how could anyone not like her?"

"At least this time, I think Dr. Tesla is right."

"Huh? When has this genius ever been unreasonable? You say, mophead!"

"Yes, yes, Dr. Tesla is always right, and I always admire her."

The two chatted and followed. Undoubtedly, the act of saving Welt in danger not only touched Welt himself, but also raised the already high favorability between Tesla and Einstein.

This time, Ninti earned a lot of goodwill.

But after everyone sat down, the main seat between Bronya and Sin was still empty. Sin seemed to have received the news in advance, and without much delay, she announced that everyone could start eating.

Just when the meal was about to end, a golden-haired, green-skinned female fox took weak and fluttering steps and sat down with a pale face.

Welt asked with concern:

"Cocolia, what's wrong with you?"

"Emergency repairs to the base, damage clearance in the underwater area, support lists for the Siberian branch, statistical arrangement of wounded personnel, prevention of external attacks... I arranged all the work, and then Kella said that the rescued pilots were depressed, so I had to knock on doors and encourage them one by one. I thought it was over, but when I passed by the office and looked at the computer, there were 999+ unprocessed files again... I shouldn't have come to the East Shenzou Sea. If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have met Chi You..."

Cocolia slumped in her seat, muttering with a dull look in her eyes, as if her soul had floated out of her mouth, and a thick rainy atmosphere enveloped her.

Then the three elders' eyes began to wander and they fell silent. As her peers and superiors, they couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Cocolia.
