Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 206

It must be night now. Judging from the looks of it, he slept from morning till night, which is normal. Luo Fan had experienced sleeping from morning till night due to the side effects of taking medication before. The most typical example was ketotifen fumarate tablets, which is the drug that left the deepest impression on Luo Fan.

Upon waking, his senses gradually returned, and a strong feeling of hunger washed over him. Come to think of it, he hadn't had breakfast yet...

After sitting on the bed for a while, Luo Fan got up, prepared to get dressed, and went to the living room to find something to eat.

But almost the instant he stood up, the area beside him trembled violently, giving the illusion that the entire bed was about to collapse.

This startled Luo Fan greatly; he didn't remember anyone sleeping with him. What was going on...?

In the darkness where he couldn't see anything clearly, Luo Fan could see a huge bulge in the blanket next to him through the constantly changing outlines, followed by a head with messy white hair.

The two sat there in the darkness for a few seconds, staring at each other, Luo Fan trying to figure out who the person in front of him was.

......

"Damn it, you actually know to wake up?!"

"???"

The startled voices definitely didn't come from the rebellious squad, but what does it mean to wake up?

"I thought you were dead. I was almost ready to contact the crematorium."

Okay, no need to think, this must be MDR, but how did MDR end up in my bed?

"What's wrong with me?"

Luo Fan asked, puzzled.

"It's been three days! You've been lying in bed for three whole days. Do you know how everyone else has been doing these past three days?"

"What, three days?!"

Luo Fan had never expected the current situation. He had been able to maintain this state and sleep for three whole days after drinking that stuff.

MDR frowned, looking rather unwell: "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go ask them... Oh, by the way, they should all be asleep by now."

Luo Fan fell silent, sitting on the bed, a hint of doubt creeping into her own mind. If what MDR said was true, then the girls might have really had a rough three days...

"Tsk, don't just sit like that, or you'll catch a cold and have to lie down again."

Before he could react, MDR grabbed a coat and draped it over Luo Fan, even pulling his blanket a little closer to her.

MDR also has such a thoughtful side, which touched Luo Fan somewhat, but more likely it was a sense of doubt and numbness about the current situation.

It might be a little difficult to accept this fact immediately, even though it's not a big deal...

He sat on the bed, wearing only a coat, deep in thought. MDR didn't disturb him, sitting silently beside him, waiting for his next reaction.

a long time......

Luo Fan couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it, prepared to put on his pants, and climbed out of bed.

"I'm a little hungry and want to eat something."

No sooner had he finished speaking than MDR acted faster, wrapping herself in her coat and dress before getting out of bed.

There should still be some porridge in the kitchen, I'll go heat it up for you.

"Um......"

His thoughts were still somewhat hazy, and the man with a slight frown didn't want to think about it any further. He decided to calm himself down first...

After the two left the room, Luo Fan glanced at the wall clock. It was already 2 a.m. No wonder MDR said the girls were all asleep at this hour.

The heating was on in the living room as usual, keeping it at a warm temperature, so there was no need to wrap yourself up too tightly, but Luo Fan was already used to it.

MDR ran into the kitchen and started working skillfully.

"Hmm, I remember there's still some porridge left from what the agent cooked... Ah, here it is, wait here, I'll go heat it up."

Luo Fan sat at the table, watching the girl's back as she busied herself in the kitchen, and couldn't help but smile.

It seems that homebodies don't only eat instant noodles...

A few minutes later, a steaming bowl of congee was served, as if it had been prepared in advance for him.

"Eat up. Don't force yourself if you can't eat. It's better to eat it bland since there's no sugar or salt in it."

Seemingly having lost her usual boisterous demeanor, MDR transformed into a virtuous wife, taking care of the unwell man's body and stomach.

Luo Fan had no objection to the taste, and picked up a spoon to slowly eat.

The only sounds echoing in the living room were the man eating porridge and the occasional tapping of the spoon against the bowl. MDR didn't bring up the topic again, and just like a few minutes ago, he sat beside him watching him, as if watching a sick child with a headache.

But Luo Fan couldn't stand the silence any longer; he was more interested in knowing what had happened in the past few days...

What happened to them while I was asleep?

Luo Fan's voice sounded weak, as if he were truly recovering from a serious illness.

MDR slowly replied, "There's nothing seriously wrong. On the first day when you weren't awake, Mrs. Grey came to check on your condition. Everything seemed normal; you were just asleep, which put our minds at ease. We then had someone repair the hole AK12 made on the bar, and M16 replaced the bottles of liquor you accidentally broke. We also replaced other parts. The surveillance cameras you requested have been arranged, and the equipment I ordered has arrived. It's just that you haven't woken up yet, so I haven't started making arrangements. But... we're really worried about you. It's already the second day, and you still haven't woken up. Mrs. Grey has checked repeatedly, and your condition is still normal, but we don't know why you just won't wake up. These past few days, everyone has been very anxious, especially AK12 and WA."

At this point, MDR's expression turned somewhat somber, and her gaze shifted to the staircase as if she were deep in thought...

"Yeah......"

274 Night Talk

"Sorry for making you worry."

After much thought, Luo Fan could only come up with this sentence, and he felt somewhat guilty.

"Oh, it's good that you're alright. We're fine. Speaking of which, that Rosalia came again yesterday, but she left after finding out you were resting without saying anything."

A rare expression of disgust appeared on her face. Although MDR had never met Rosalia in person, she could tell from her expression that she was very unhappy with this girl who had inexplicably come to the bar.

"Didn't she say anything?" Luo Fan took another sip of congee, his mind replaying every word and action he had taken since meeting Rosalia, his feelings somewhat complicated.

"Yeah, she glanced at the bar and left, but asked us to tell you to give her a new drink next time, preferably sparkling wine."

"...sparkling wine."

Even now, Luo Fan still can't figure out what the girl's purpose is, whether she is friend or foe. She clearly possesses some information that Luo Fan is unaware of, and this information may be related to his physical condition.

In short, he disliked the feeling that came with this information gap, and every hacker felt that way...

MDR asked with concern, "What plans do you have for her?"

"Let's see. At least she hasn't shown any hostility. There's no point in guessing. Let's wait and see when she comes next time." Luo Fan could only shake his head. They couldn't keep Rosalia and the others there. Even AK12, AK15, and 416 couldn't stop her from moving around. They could only let nature take its course.

"Too......"

MDR stopped thinking about this unanswerable question. Although her brain was different from the human brain, the experiences of the past few days were enough to make her feel upset.

However, once the conversation started, it was difficult to stop, especially in this peaceful and tranquil environment. Luo Fan began to chat again.

"By the way, have you been sleeping in my room these past few days? Do they really think they'll let you stay here?"

Upon hearing this, MDR couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Don't even mention it. The first day they found me, AK12 and that Mondragon grabbed me by the clothes and threw me out. But I recorded the whole time I was sleeping peacefully with you. They actually sat in the room and watched the video at ten times the speed before they reluctantly agreed to let me stay."

She curled the corners of her lips into a smile, as if the menacing appearance of AK12 and Mondragon was still vivid in her mind.

Luo Fan choked on the porridge he swallowed. He had guessed the process, but he hadn't guessed the ending.

Only MDR could come up with such a way of proving themselves, and the girls actually watched the video.

Although the matter was slightly unpleasant, seeing that Lovanin had some reaction to it made MDR feel much better.

She took off her slippers, kicked Luo Fan a couple of times, and asked, "Hey, Commander, can I ask you something...?"

"what?"

Luo Fan was choked again by MDR's sudden attack, and a few grains of rice almost slipped into his trachea, but he still pretended that nothing was wrong.

5 2 6 6 5 2 2 5 1

MDR said in a low voice, "I asked them about what happened before I arrived. It seems you were always involved in every operation with them?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Luo Fan asked, puzzled.

The girl frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with the other's reaction: "Why don't you sit properly in the back like the other commanders in Griffin?"

She rarely reacted this way, always taking a carefree attitude towards life, but this time she was genuinely puzzled.

"In other words, you have absolutely no need to step onto the battlefield. You could die at any moment, your hands stained with blood. Moreover, the enemies in this world are not humanoid, but real humans, and most importantly..."

She paused, and then withdrew her outstretched hand.

We are really worried about you.

......

"...Go to the battlefield more often, otherwise the casualties will just become a string of numbers."

After finishing the porridge in one gulp, Luo Fan pushed the bowl aside, and the frailty in his eyes caused by illness had disappeared without him noticing.

"But we're tactical dolls, aren't casualties just numbers?!"

MDR lightly tapped the table, breaking the silence in the living room for a moment. She was somewhat agitated, not just confused, but the white-haired girl was even inexplicably annoyed.

But Luo Fan extended an index finger and placed it on her lips, interrupting her with such a simple action.

He smiled and said, “Don’t you know? My attitude towards you is different from that of the other commanders in Griffin. You are my family, not just a string of numbers. And for a leader, casualties are just a string of numbers, which is a terrible thing. I don’t want to become that kind of person... Go to the battlefield myself, remember the scene here, the way they died, and continue on in their glory. Perhaps that is what a commander should do.”

"Where did you hear these claims from...?" MDR paused for a moment, but still seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

“From the ‘Lonely Queen of the North,’ or you can also call her ‘Northern Dweller.’”

"Northern House?"

"Ah."

Tirpitz's words left a deep impression on Lofan, but when he imitated her tone and said the same thing, he felt guilty. He was not a good person after all. Before the girls arrived, his hands were already stained with blood. Being a student was just an identity. The only thing he had in common with his students was perhaps their age.

While fighting alongside the girls, he also had his own selfish motives, and he was capable of taking care of himself when problems arose, not to mention the support of a tablet and hacking skills.

Ultimately, he just loved these lovely girls too much...

MDR, who was beside him, didn't know where the man's smile came from, but she at least understood why he wanted to accompany them to the battlefield.

Seeing Luo Fan's insistence, MDR didn't say anything more, but silently kept those words in mind.

She's a strange person. Being overly fond of her soldiers like her own children doesn't necessarily make her a good commander, but she's definitely the one they love, and the only one of them.

"Well, that's about enough. I'll go wash the dishes, then come downstairs with me."

Luo Fan picked up the empty bowl, got up and walked towards the kitchen, smiling at MDR.

"Huh? What are you doing at the bar?"

"You'll find out when you get there... Also, the porridge tastes good, did you add anything extra to it?"

"cut......"

In the stillness of the night, on the street, only the second floor of the bar called "Valhalla" remained dimly lit. In this snow-covered, glowing ambiance, a boy and a girl were playfully bickering as they ran into the kitchen. Even if the world couldn't feel this insignificant warmth, it didn't mean their small, shimmering love had lost its meaning. Their lives were built upon these small, sweet everyday moments, accompanying them on every step of the way, endlessly...

275 Newcomer, "Newcomer?"

"So, what do you want to do?"

After Luo Fan finished washing the dishes, MDR accompanied her to the bar. Luo Fan was now operating a tablet, standing in front of an empty cabinet, and she just couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.

Luo Fan continued operating the device without looking up: "Call an old friend."

"Who?"

Luo Fan did not answer; he felt it was better to let MDR see for himself.

It's best for an older single woman not to let the person in question hear this.

Then, a faint but distinct noise came from inside the wardrobe. It's as if it's made by humans; even the sound of being teleported into the wardrobe didn't have the noise of a neighbor's renovation.

Thinking back on it now, the AA12 incident was truly terrifying...

Once everything was finished, Luo Fan raised his chin and said, "Go open it and take a look. There are some people you know inside."

"My acquaintances? Give me a break. If I throw a rock at a building and smash a window, the people inside might have argued with me."

...What a strange metaphor!

MDR scoffed at this, but still obediently walked to the cabinet door.

She laughed dismissively, "If I had to say, I know everyone in Griffin."

Her actions and words went hand in hand; when she opened the cabinet, she didn't first look to see who was inside.

"See? I told you..."
