...
Rapi:...dolla, are you sure these are the proper coordinates? It looks to me like…
Varakiel: this is a garbage dump….but oh, i see hahahaha
Anis: what?
Neon: it reeks. So much for a private hot tub.
Dolla:...
Dolla staggers as she walks into the garbage dump.
Dolla: this is, i can't believe this.
Yan follows her.
Yan: woah..hold on a minute….oh my god..
Rupee: ja-ja..Jackpotttt!! This steel that's sticking to our feet is Goddesium! All of this iron just lying around are rapture cores! Not only that, aren't these…data chips! They were part of some secret research and went missing during the first rapture invasion.
Yan: rupee! What are you doing? Don't just stand there flapping your gums! Start grabbing!
Anis: Right, let's go neon!
Neon: alright!
Varakiel then notices an old piece of paper.
Varakiel: hmm.. A diary page…let's see…
—--
"Despite being an A.I which i created myself, i still find eva to be such a delight"
"Alva , how are you feeling today?" She is always so kind to me whenever my parents aren't home yet.
"Do you want me to come with you?" She consoles me when I have no one to go to a party with, without me even asking.
So I am often confused.
If this little A.I can understand the feeling of 'solitude'..
Of course, there's a high possibility that it's nothing more than my delusion.
—--
Varakiel: *sigh* such an abrupt end.
The words are too faded and become illegible from there.
Varakiel: Hey girls, I'll do you a favor. I found something good.
Dolla: What kind of favor?
Varakiel: *snap*
With a snap of his fingers all that was on the garbage dump disappears in thin air.
Yan: O-O
Rupee: O-O
Varakiel: (oh god it's multiplying) that should do it.
Anis: oh right! So please commander.
Anis hands varakiel the stuff she picked up.
Varakiel: yeah yeah, *snap*
Then it also disappears…
Neon: please master!
Neon does as well…
Dolla: I don't know what is going on but…..fine i'll trust in you.
Yan: So mysterious , can you tell us what you did?
Rupee: is like magic!
Varakiel: sorry commercial secret haha. *snap*
Then the stuff that Dolla, Yan and Rupee was carrying disappears as well.
Rupee: so?
Varakiel: I saved up everything.
Rupee: how!? Is it really magic? Like the rumors about you!?
Varakiel: (rumors? *sigh* i suppose someone rated me out….the only one being….burningum)
Varakiel: Yes, it's magic, but you can't tell anyone about it alright?
Rupee: of course!, with all of this we are not only out of the red but also should be able to expand our business a lot more! Thank you, sweetie-!
Yan: hey….guys…
*rumble*
Rapi: raptures incoming! They must have been lying dormant in the garbage dump, it seems we all woke them up.
Neon:I suppose that's what you get for being so greedy.
Varakiel:...whoops.
Everyone looks at varakiel.
Dolla: *sigh* after finding such a massive haul, it'd almost be strange if we didn't encounter some resistance. Can we…
Varakiel: You don't have to mention it.
*click*
Varakiel takes an assault rifle from his back.
Varakiel: Let's get this party started, everyone.
Anis: alright!
Neon: leave it to me commander!
Rapi: Encounter.
Varakiel: There are still too many so…hmph!!!
Varakiel puts his hand on the floor and suddenly the land starts to move.
Varakiel: That should slow them down, let's do this.
Yan: So those rumors didn't exaggerate, my god…
Dolla: this might actually be our biggest jackpot.
Rupee: I agree!!
...…..
Rapi: enemy neutralized.
Rupee: that was easy! All that's left now is to go back and cash it all in. then it's time to rush over to the luxury hall!
Anis: The first thing I'm gonna do is buy a mini-fridge!
Neon: I'm going to indulge in the most decadent dessert I can find.
*rumble*
A huge tremor bigger than before…..
Rapi:..there's more of them!
Dolla: you're right, but i don't see more of them which means they are underground.
*crack* from afar raptures arise from the ground.
Rupee: i-i can see them! One…two…five….more than 20?
Yan: All above lord class there's no way we can win. If we want to get out of this alive. We need to haul ass outta here.
Varakiel: Well, run!!!
Rapi: roger!
....
....
Soon after, on the ark.
Rupee was recording again
Rupee: ta-da!! When Talentum and counters come together, it's double trouble! We went through quite the ordeal, but we're back at the ark! Whew, I almost thought we wouldn't make it back! The surface isn't exactly the most welcoming place! Hehe on that note, i would like to thank sweetie and their colleagues for everything they're doing to help us reclaim the surface.
Varakiel: You can always count with me, hehe.
Rupee: all right then! Now where were we…i'm sure you're all positively spazzing out wondering what special treasures we brought back from the surface. We wanted to share this moment with everyone, so we haven't shown each other what we picked out either. The time has come for the big reveal!
Yan: Hey, rookie, good calling to tell us to not reveal that we took everything.
Varakiel: Of course, such an amount of resources would cause a lot of problems. Mainly with the central government.
Yan: ya.
Rupee: First up, we have the treasure Talentum managed to take back. Then we'll take on the commander and the counters squad. First up, we have dolla!
Dolla: weight was a big thing i took into account, so i grabbed some chips first. And more…this thingamajig that looks like a half-eaten apple. I just felt this strange attraction to it. Maybe because I'm an electronics operator?
Yan: I tried to take anything related to Goddesium. Goddesium can be added to all kinds of products. I thought it would be helpful for future R&D.
Rupee: As for me, I brought back a limited-edition luxury handbag made before the first invasion, and a luxury watch that was produced around the same time. If we auction it off on royal road, I'm sure it'll fetch a pretty penny! Moving on… we have the squad that's the talk of the town, the counters! Let's check out their haul, shall we?
Anis: to be honest, i can't really tell what was what. I just grabbed some rapture cores. The labs would probably pay through the nose for it.
Rupee: well…erm..sorry to say, but…i believe that's just iron.
Anis: what?
Rupee: if it was a rapture core, there would be some sort of power source, along with some distinctive patterns. This one has nothing.
Neon: haha got you.
Anis: you! And commander!
Varakiel: hehe, is just a prank anis, here this is her core.
Rupee: haha, such a lovely squad!
Neon: What about mine? It's a high-tech, ultra-compact rocket that is fired off during weddings. Pyrotechnics that are only set off when true love is in bloom…how romantic!
Yan: Are you talking about fireworks?
Neon: yes, that's it!
Dolla:...*chuckle* How about rapi?
Rapi: i got some data chips, but i don't know what inside them
Varakiel: I got the journal of someone who used to live before the first invasion.
Rupee: ohh some story of the old world!
Yan: What is with you guys? Do you guys even want to make money?
Rupee: hehe i guess our friends of counters sense of value is different than ours.
Varakiel: Hehe, well I picked it up because it would be interesting to know how it was to live on the surface, you know.
Rupee: yeah i wonder how it was to live up there 50 years ago…oh well that's all for today's stream! Remember to follow me, and don't forget to click like and subscribe. See you all in the next stream!
Rupee then ends her stream
Varakiel: Alright, while you find a warehouse for everything, I'll sort all of it. There a ton of things to look into it.
Yan: Alright rookie, you are the expert in that field, as for us with these we should get out of the red for now, then we'll see you later.
Dolla: thank you for your help commander and counters.
Rupee: goodbye sweetie see you next time! Remember to like my stream too.
Varakiel: sure.
...
Varakiel and counters were back in the outpost….
In varakiel room.
Varakiel: Wow there was indeed a treasure trove.
Rapi: indeed.
Neon: would they mind if I took all the fireworks?
Anis: there's also a lot of collectables in here.
Varakiel: first thing first, we got 10 tons of Goddesium, around 20k rapture cores, and several other items
Anis: I just wonder why did raptures keep all of this?
Neon: it seemed like they were just collecting random items.
Varakiel: mhm….hm!!! Wait ..this!
3x Nikke brain.
Varakiel: There are 3 nikke brains in here…
Neon: ehh!!?
Rapi: are they the brains that ludmilla is looking for?
Varakiel: (lily?)
Lily: (.....*ding* Yes, they are the brains of the 3 sleeping princesses! Good job varakiel!)
Varakiel: I have to call ludmilla! She and Alice will be so happy!
Varakiel says with a smile.
Rapi: commander should we prepare to head north?
Varakiel: Yes, everyone prepare to go north to unlimited base.
Mihara: What is going on?
Yuni: I don't know Mihara.
Neon: Let me explain to you then!
—--
Varakiel
Ludmilla!
Ludmilla
Hm? What is it commander?
Varakiel
We found them!
Ludmilla
Found what?
Varakiel
We found the brains of the 3 sleeping princesses!
Ludmilla
….is this…
This is not a joke right?
Varakiel
I would never joke about something like this
Ludmilla
Ah….yes, that's right….
Is just….
Give me a moment….
—-
Meanwhile in unlimited base
Ludmilla was sitting in a desk, sobbing, from joy.
Ludmilla: *hic* i knew it, *hic* I knew I could trust him…just like Alice said he's indeed magical. *hic*
—-
Varakiel
Are you okay?
Ludmilla
Yes, just a little…surprised, I didn't expect you to find them so soon.
Varakiel
Wait…soon?
Ludmilla
Yes, we took a lot of time to find the brains of our previous nikkes. To find them in just two months is nothing short of a miracle….thank you, please come to deliver them when you have time..
Varakiel
Nothing like that. We are going straight there immediately.
Ludmilla
I….thank you commander, truly…thank you.
