Chapter 38: Worst Team Chemistry Ever

''Wheeeee!'' Marian cheered as she ran around The Command Center, covered from top to bottom in flour.

Rapi tried desperately to catch up. ''Marian...!'' She panted.

She must've been equipped with some super speedy boots from when she was a Heretic. No way anybody could be this fast barefoot.

Eventually, they would end up running into the Living Room, where the chaos would continue.

Due to the vast amount of furniture inside, Rapi thought it would help in capturing the rogue Marian.

She walked in, but instead of seeing Marian, the first thing she spotted was-

-... Anis sleeping on the couch?

That wasn't the only thing. The girl was covered in crumbs and empty soda cans, while the television displayed some sort of anime.

A... Fight between a blue guy wielding a red spear and a red guy with white hair wielding two blades?

Ugh, now's not the time to get descriptive, Rapi!

You need to catch Marian, strip her down, drag her into the bathroom, and drop her into the tub!

And do it with cold water to spite her! Do I need to remind you that she is the reason The Commander isn't paying as much attention to you as he did before?

Oh, you're riled up? Okay! Go catch her!

I quickly rushed into the kitchen upon picking up the scent of smoke.

I swear to God! If they somehow screwed up the Mac & Cheese I will-

''...'' My jaw fell low as I stopped myself in my tracks.

There, right in front of the stove, instead of seeing the person I appointed to cook breakfast, I instead see...

''Neon?!'' I shout out, getting her attention.

''Master!'' She smiles at me, dropping the flamethrower.

She was... She was...

WHO THE FFFFFFFFFFFUCK COOKS WITH A FLAMETHROWER?!

She was there, in front of the stove, standing on a kitchen stool, holding a flamethrower while facing a gigantic cauldron presumably filled with macarons.

The cauldron itself is charred and looks very hot, smoke is being emitted from it at an alarming rate.

''Go Neon! You can cook indeed!''

''Ah...''

Neon quickly hopped off of the stool and ran up to me. ''Master! You wouldn't believe it!''

I was still in shock from the sudden display of uh... Firepower, to say anything back to her.

''That couch potato you employed as chef fell asleep while watching eroges!'' Neon tugged at my sleeves. ''Me and Marian were left hungry! Anis hogged up all the snacks for herself!''

She cleared her throat. ''Sooooooo! I took it upon myself as a rightfully responsible person to deliver the nutrients Marian would need to grow big and strong!''

I clenched my fists.

''I found the Mac, but the Cheese bit was a scarce resource!'' The Nikke continued whining. ''So I prompted to cook a large amount of macaroons to balance out the fact that there is no cheese!''

.

''Neon.'' I put a hand on her shoulder.

''E-Eh? Y-Yes, Master?'' She stammered.
