Girls' Frontline: My Apocalypse with Dolls

Page 21

I will likely be working with them frequently in the future.

But for some reason, I'm kind of looking forward to it...

Looking at his gradually blurring reflection in the mirror, Pascal chuckled softly, then lowered his head and continued showering.

......

A few minutes later, Pascal, carrying his white coat, walked toward the room of the Rebellion Squad.

I've made a "reservation" myself, so I should at least have my own food, right?

Pascal felt that Lovan would definitely not be able to go against his wishes.

Until, after opening the door, he saw Luo Fan hugging AK12.

......

The atmosphere immediately became awkward.

Luo Fan loosened the AK12 almost finger by finger.

AK12 probably guessed what was going on, and the smile on his lips faded slightly as he silently rolled back to his original position.

"Old man, I'll let you enjoy yourself for now."

AK12 wasn't worried at all. Could a ring made for a humanoid person really be worn by a human?

So he lay down next to RPK16 and AN94.

Pascal, meanwhile, smiled and leaned against the doorway, watching Lovan's performance.

Luo Fan could only awkwardly pretend not to see it, lying flat on his back looking at the ceiling, occasionally stealing glances at Pascal.

Pascal didn't seem to have any intention of coming up.

Two minutes later, it seemed that Bengbu had finally stopped. Luo Fan sighed, sat up from the bed, and gestured for Pascal to enter.

Pascal nodded in satisfaction, hung his white coat on the hanger, and without hesitation, lay down next to Luo Fan.

Pascal is now wearing pajamas, and it has to be said that she does give off a girl-next-door vibe.

But could you at least try to look a little better?

Pascal arrogantly spread his left side out in a starfish shape, while his right side was neatly tucked in by the AK12.

Treat them differently, right?

A tic-tac-toe mark appeared above Luo Fan's head, but he still managed to hold back his outburst.

After all, she's a great asset to you in the future. Since she's already like this, why don't you just go along with her? You should at least give someone with ability a good future, right?

Lovan turned away, ignoring Pascal.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

It seems that Sister 45 has returned.

Luo Fan only felt certain after the door opened and the light was turned off.

AK15 didn't sleep too close to him, so Sister 45 slept next to Luo Fan, taking on the role that should have been hers to be held.

It's alright, this is just the magnanimity of the Empress.

At least that's what AK12 thinks.

Anyway, Pascal didn't make any big moves, and after holding Sister 45 tightly in his arms, Lofan fell into a deep sleep.

The same goes for Pascal.

......

The middle of the night... Yes, it's the middle of the night again!

Luo Fan felt something unusual down there.

Luo Fan forced himself to look up despite his discomfort.

Where is my 45-year-old sister in my arms?

This was Luo Fan's first thought; he hadn't even realized he'd ended up lying down and sleeping.

Even worse, Pascal slapped his hand on his face and placed his left foot there.

Almost done.

Luo Fan really wanted to smear Pascal's face with his newly bought sweaty soybean pillow.

It's a pity it can't be burnt.

Lovan slowly moved Pascal's feet and hands away.

It's fine when moving your hand, but when moving your foot...

Whether it was some kind of stress response or not, Pascal's foot suddenly broke free from Lovan's grasp.

It slammed violently onto Luo Fan's spot.

24 The Awakening of the Two

"Hmm!"

Luo Fan clutched his brother in pain.

If you look in the mirror, you might even see the veins on your forehead.

I've really been looked down upon!

Lofan sprang up from the bed with a somersault and pinned Pascal beneath him.

He grabbed the other person's collar with both hands, ready to subdue them.

Unexpectedly, Luo Fan had just straightened his back when he was pulled down.

Pascal had woken up at some point and, pulling on Lofan's collar, brought Lofan's head close to his own face.

The two stared at each other for several minutes.

Not only was Lofan not at a loss due to the sudden situation, but Pascal's stunning beauty also contributed to his success.

Only now did I realize that Pascal seemed to have carefully tidied himself up.

After his eyes had fully adjusted to the darkness, Luo Fan was able to see the full face of the person beneath him by the light of the moon.

Her ruby-like eyes were like a mesmerizing magic mirror, threatening to drag Luo Fan into an abyss of unfathomable desire.

However, the other party's identity kept Luo Fan rational, and out of respect for scientific researchers, Luo Fan controlled himself.

Like mortal enemies with a long-standing feud, or like lovers separated for many years, their posture is as if they are embracing under the moon, but also like they are at their wits' end when they are facing each other with swords drawn.

"......What do you want to do?"

Luo Fan was the first to break the deathly silence.

"It's nothing, it's just a strange feeling."

Pascal smiled as he looked at the man on top of him, showing no sign of discomfort.

"What kind of feeling would make you stay up all night and bother me?"

"It's like a feeling of fulfillment."

Luo Fan was stunned for a moment. When did he become able to give the other person the so-called feeling of fulfillment?

Lovan did not answer, waiting for Pascal to continue.

"Judging from the current situation, it is clear that I am thousands of miles away from where I used to be, and it is even possible that I will never be able to go back."

"If that's the case, what would you do? What would you do to your androids?"

Pascal's eyes were filled with an inexplicable confidence; for some reason, she was willing to believe this man.

"I will stay with them until death do us part..."

Luo Fan gave his answer without hesitation.

If truly necessary, he would not hesitate to die for his human form.

His years of hacking and life on the run had almost led him to a state of complete alienation from everyone.

These girls were his last solace.

And now, they have entered my life so suddenly and unexpectedly. How could I not be overjoyed? How could I not go through fire and water for my last 'family'?

But Lovan still couldn't figure out Pascal's intentions.

"what about me?"

"......What do you mean?"

"If this actually happened, would you treat me the same way you treat your human form?"

"We are real human beings, and we will die in the real sense."

"I am a materialist, and I am not very willing to believe the idea that a person lives on forever if someone remembers him after he dies. But if such a day does come, will you still remember me? Will my name be on your epitaph?"

"...You have a fever?"

Luo Fan reached out and placed his hand on Pascal's forehead, his expression somewhat solemn.

These words are indeed worth pondering. Is this a test, or simply an inquiry?

"I was serious."

Pascal brushed the hand off his forehead, revealing a rare serious expression.

"We are now in a world that doesn't belong to us. If any of us were to leave for any reason, would you carve the names of everyone around you on your tombstone?"

“I will not only carve their names, I will also take them home.”

"Because if we lose each other, we will have nothing left."

Pascal grew more and more satisfied as she listened to Lofan's words, a sweet smile spreading across her face, to the point that she wrapped her arms around Lofan's neck.

"I hope you can remember your words and find a place for us, our own Griffin, in the face of a future filled with twists and turns."

"Because now, everyone believes in you, only you, and no one else but you."

"And I will be by your side, watching over you, offering my help, until death separates us..."

Pascal's gaze instilled in Lofan an unprecedented sense of responsibility.

Luo Fan nodded, his expression inscrutable. The shock he felt was indescribable.

"If from this moment on, I will no longer be alone in this life, but will be the one standing shoulder to shoulder with you."

"...I promise you, if we ever have Griffin again, it will be your home, and if I die, my epitaph will include a line about you."

"Until death do us part."

"Well then, Mr. Luo, Commander, I look forward to your guidance in the days to come."

After Pascal said those words, the entire bed suddenly shook violently.

The two looked around for a while but found nothing amiss.

However, Pascal placed his long index finger to Luo Fan's lips and said softly, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow, otherwise some people will have objections."

Luo Fan nodded blankly, then went back to his seat.

However, the person lying in his arms now was Pascal.

......

Epitaph...?

......

The two woke up at the same time the next morning.

Lofan felt a little embarrassed because Pascal was still lying in his arms even after he woke up.

Did I just make Leco look bad?

However, according to Ipaska, the other party only regarded Lyco as a colleague.

I guess that's not considered awesome...

Looking at the cat ears on Pascal's head, Luo Fan couldn't help but reach out and pinch them.
