Chapter 282: "Ninti Apocalypse"

In the night, the little girl finally woke up.

Aponia was happy to hear this good news, but when she came to check on her condition, she realized that this girl was a little different.

Sitting on her bed, the girl's eyes stared forward blankly, as if she was not thinking about anything.

Her purple eyes were pure like a newborn baby, and her expressionless face gave off a very innocent impression.

When Aponia came in, Ninti immediately asked.

"Who am I?"

These words are often said by people who experience amnesia. Normal people would never come across a case like this in their lifetime, but for Aponia, who had treated many people, she had often encountered people like this.

Because of that, Aponia wasn't confused at all.

"This is the most complicated and simplest question in the world. Many people will not be able to understand it until they die. But I am sure, one day you will be able to find it again."

"Is it true?"

"Of course, I won't lie to you."

Aponia sat next to Ninti and stroked her hair slowly. Ninti closed her eyes comfortably, and Aponia smiled gently.

"I like you."

Ninti's voice sounds very light and childish, combined with her dull face, making people hear it feel very sincere.

Aponia was also happy because she had earned her trust.

"Do you still remember your name?"

"Yes... my name Ninti."

"Ninti, what a nice name... Do you still remember anything else? For example, the faces of your parents."

"I don't know..."

"It's okay, take things slowly. From now on I will take care of you until you recover, until you remember everything again. Until then, even if you can't remember anything, I will always welcome you."

Aponia shifted the topic: "Ninti, do you want to hear a fairy tale?"

"Um."

Ninti lay down, and she pulled the blanket to cover most of her body, and after that she nodded.

"Thank You....?"

"You can call me sister Aponia. If one day you need my help, just say so. Even though we are small, I hope you will be comfortable living in this orphanage."

"Thank you, sister Aponia. You are a good person."

Ninti, who was in bed, listened to a story about a girl with a red hood from Aponia's mouth, and her little eyes slowly started to feel sleepy.

Even though she had been in a coma for some time, Aponia's gentle and caring voice was like a lullaby to her ears.

Subconsciously, with the last sight of Aponia's gentle smile, Ninti's nervousness disappeared, and she slowly began to fall asleep.

A few days later, the Aponia orphanage received a new child.

They didn't know where this girl came from, some rumors said that she had lost her memory when she was robbed in an alley.

The blonde girl also often followed Aponia wherever she went, just like a duckling follows its mother.

Because she has amnesia, Ninti always wonders about the things she always sees. Aponia didn't mind either, and she always answered all Ninti's questions patiently.

Don't know when, when Aponia saw Ninti starting to take the initiative to help her friends and play with them, Aponia felt both relieved and proud.

Ninti is a good girl.

The children also get along with her. Even though Ninti's face was currently still stiff and expressionless, everyone could see her sincerity.

This morning, after having breakfast together, when Ninti went to the kitchen to drink, she met someone who shouldn't be here.

"Sister Pardo, sister Aponia said that the porridge was on the stove this morning, it just needs to be warmed up a little. Apart from that, sister Aponia said that please don't steal again if you want to eat, we all always welcome sister Pardo's arrival."

"Hehehe, I was caught~"

Pardo, who was caught red-handed on the spot, scratched the back of her hair embarrassedly.

Ninti rushed to the stove and lit the fire. Taking the heated chicken porridge, Ninti pushed the plate containing the porridge to the pardo.

"Thank you Ninti-chan for taking the trouble to heat it up for me~ by the way, what is this one? Did sister Aponia make cookies? Why are there still so many?"

Pardo pointed her finger at a transparent jar containing many cookies.

Ninti nodded her head innocently, and after that she handed the jar to Pardo.

"Yesterday sister Aponia made cookies, but sister Pardo wasn't there. So I saved them. Apart from that, the other kids also gave me their portions. So I saved them too."

Pardo was confused: "Then it's yours, right? Why did you give it to me?"

Pardo didn't understand what Ninti was doing right now. This triggered her instincts as a street child.

Why are you so nice to me?

"Sister Aponia said that I was saved by sister Pardo, so I wanted to thank you. But, this is all I have..."

"Next time... I will give sister Pardo more cookies. Will sister Pardo like it?"

Ninti's voice gradually lowered, and she lowered her head with less confidence. Pardo, right now felt like she was a gangster who was extorting people on the streets.

How could an innocent girl like this have bad intentions towards her?

Pardo, you are a devil!

"Uwah, please don't be sad, I'm really sorry!!! That's right! How about we eat this cookies together? With a portion like this, I really can't finish it!"

"But sister Aponia said cookies can last a long time..."

"That's absolutely not true! All wet or dry cakes will rot when they enter the stomach! Ninti-chan, sit here, you haven't tried it yet, have you?"

At the statement that distorted the facts, Ninti who lacked vocabulary became a bit confused, and she sat next to Pardo obediently.

Pardo took the cookies in the jar, and she handed them to Ninti.

But....

Seeing the cake in Pardo's hand, Ninti ate it without hesitation in one bite.

This shocked Pardo, as she had never fed anyone like this before.

"Delicious"

Even though at this time Ninti's facial expression was still stiff and expressionless, Ninti, who had tasted the sweet taste of chocolate, looked at Pardo with eyes full of hope, as if to say please give me one more.

"Does Ninti-chan want some more?"

"I want... But sister Pardo also has to eat. I'll wait."

Pardo could feel that Ninti wanted to eat more cookies, but she held back her appetite. Being stared at by the clear purple eyes, and the face full of baby fat like an angel, the fragile point in pardo's heart instantly collapsed.

"Ninti-chan why are you so cute~!! Were you sent by an angel to pick me up? From now on we are friends! If there is a problem, just tell me! I have many connections here who can help you!"

"Um~?"

was suddenly hugged, and her face was rubbed enthusiastically. Ninti was really confused.

After eating, and going to the backyard to avoid Aponia's detection, Pardo begins to introduce her old friends to Ninti.

"Her name is Can! She is the belle and gatekeeper of this orphanage! Even though she sometimes only sleeps all day, Can is very useful!"

"Meow~!"

Can shows his white and soft stomach, so that Ninti understands why he is so useful for relieving stress.

Ninti also watched Can closely. After much thought, a little saliva came out.

"Can this be eaten? Can is so fat, it must be full of meat."

"Meow!!!"

Pardo was also surprised: "Can can't be eaten! Absolutely not! It is our reserve food, so it can only be eaten in emergencies!"

"Meow!?"

Can looked at pardo as if he was someone he had just met. Aren't we friends? Why do you want to eat me?

"I got you!"

"Meow!!!"

"Ninti-chan, chase him!"

"Understood!"

In the yard, seeing Pardo and Ninti happily chasing the orphanage's pet cat, made Aponia feel both happy and worried.

Next time she will teach Ninti that torturing animals is not a commendable behavior.

As for pardo...

Pardo, who was currently enjoying chasing Can, suddenly felt goosebumps all over her neck with fear.

On the other hand, when Ninti found her new life at the Aponia orphanage, Thea, who was sitting in the presidential room, opened her eyes.

"It seems fate can still be cheated, I don't know what Aponia saw, but at least Ninti hasn't been found out yet."

[Ninti] is one of Thea's dolls sent to monitor the movements of Aponia, the seer of fate.

The reason why it is still unknown is probably because Ninti itself is special.

The Herrscher of Domination was never one person. They are a collective consciousness gathered into one with various memories and personalities.

Thanks to the Signet of Helix left by the evil Vill-V, Thea was able to share a little of her great consciousness with Ninti, and create a real human being who is alive and also empty.

This is the reason why Ninti lost all her memories. Thea deliberately did this so that Aponia could not see her current fate.

Just like blank paper.

As long as Thea doesn't peek at Ninti too often or intentionally control Ninti, Aponia won't know that Ninti is her doll.

"Besides, after waiting for quite a long time the first honkai impact finally appeared. It's a shame I couldn't see them fight against the herrscher of Reason in this era."

"Yeah, Maria will take care of everything. I hope they can move quickly and don't let MOTH bite off any piece of flesh."

Just like a god throwing dice, the game started when the first honkai impact fell on the city of Berlin and turned this place into a dead city.

The newly born Herrscher of Reason didn't know, that the god killing squad, was again approaching his location at full speed.

Maria: "Go around this place immediately! ignore the honkai beasts and defeat Herrscher first!"

"ROGER!!!"
