it is Arknights! Chapter 117 15 Don't Think

"Lappland…"

"Hm~ What is it?"

"You've traveled a lot, have you seen this kind of situation before? Officials wanting civilian personnel to investigate abnormal individuals and such?"

"Quite common, right? Over in Siracusa, families are often asked to find people, although the officials are pretty much the sa as the families anyway… Ah, there's blood dicine over there, grab it yourself."

"Oh oh, so that's how it is… Ah, a mimic (treasure chest monster). Luckily, I can beat it."

Playing video gas in the dormitory with Lappland, Li Lin, while skillfully backstabbing the mimic, thought about the difficult problem Officer Ch'en had thrown at him halfway.

Officer Ch'en was a rare understander and supporter of Li Lin. Although from an ordinary person's perspective, many of Li Lin's actions were anti-logical and counter-intuitive—for example, giving up a good life to work a nial job in logistics, or spending a large sum of money on so completely ineffective things. Or for example, having an inexplicable reserve in so places; many people couldn't understand these things, but Li Lin knew Officer Ch'en actually supported these actions of his.

Because all of Li Lin's goals stemd from a very simple reason: he wanted to do what he could to make the world peaceful. All his thoughts were untainted; everything he did was for the peace of the world. So to say Officer Ch'en had any bad intentions, Li Lin didn't believe it.

But precisely because there were no bad intentions, this request beca even stranger.

Wanting people to organize so civilian protection teams? Civilian capitalists and Lungn officials cooperating to create a joint force capable of rapid support? What the heck is this about?

And Li Lin thought left and right, he didn't count as any civilian capital or civilian force. Couldn't find any particularly aweso players either. If he had to say, he himself definitely counted as one, but he didn't want to fight, and this kind of thing couldn't be declined. How should I put it, always need to find soone to take the bla and bear the pressure . So, people with a lot of strength, a lot of free ti, and who rather like ddling in other people's business; did such people exist in his perception?

However, while thinking, the person on the screen didn't move. Along with Li Lin's mistake, the character Lappland was controlling was instantly pounced on and pinned to the ground by a monster from Li Lin's side. Before two seconds passed, a bright red word made her shout out sowhat dissatisfiedly.

"Ah, died again, all your fault."

"…"

Isn't there one right here?

Isn't this a pretty good test subject? If I call Lappland in, can I relax a bit?

Looking at Lappland beside him, pouting with dissatisfaction and wagging her tail, Li Lin thought for a mont and felt this was a win-win solution .

Lappland's excess energy would be released, and he would have his own private space, without worrying about other ssy unforeseen disasters. Perfect. Li Lin suddenly felt a flash of inspiration , looking up and down at Lappland beside him, who was wearing a sports vest and shorts, wagging her tail with a disgruntled expression.

Look at this white fur, look at this inexhaustible energy, look at this slender and agile figure, and her combat power is also very reliable. More importantly, this creature is his roommate; if she's kept busy outside, he can happily write novels.

And this matter must be done secretly, preferably without letting others know.

Otherwise, if he was tricked out and had free ti, others would definitely throw work at him one after another. At the very least, tell Lappland, then stagger the tis. This way, no matter how you look at it, he would have a lot of room to maneuver. Even if Lappland refused, then worst cos to worst, he joins himself; he'll always be able to squeeze out so ti. Although a bit tiring, it's better than being tornted, right?

Perfect.

"What is it?"

Seeing Li Lin's strange gaze, Lappland subconsciously stiffened her tail, looking wary.

"Don't you have white hair too? Don't think about pulling mine again. The tail, you can touch, ears too, but no pulling."

"…I have so good stuff in my room, want to co take a look?"

"Huh? Isn't your room my room?"

Lappland showed a disgusted expression, but still stood up wagging her tail, stretched, and bounced along behind Li Lin, watching Li Lin open the door.

"Good stuff, what good stuff? Is it a new ga? If you like playing gas so much, call Texas and let's play together~ Run fifty laps downstairs together or sothing. Did you buy so new board ga or sports ga? Want to guess what it is?"

"Not a new ga, more exciting than a new ga."

"More exciting than a ga? What is it?"

"You'll know when you co in."

Watching Lappland walk into the room, Li Lin wore a mysterious smile and quietly locked the door from the inside.

And hearing the sound of the door being locked, her ears twitched slightly, her tail subconsciously tucked between her legs (**** - censored in original), but then slowly relaxed. It even began to sway slightly, looking sowhat secretly pleased and happy.

"…Is that so, so that's how it is."

Looking at Li Lin seriously locking the door, Lappland thought for a mont and showed a sowhat relieved expression.

"Didn't expect you'd choose over Exusiai and Texas? I don't have any opinion, it's fine if your first partner is . But we might have a hard ti next; if discovered, Texas and Exusiai will definitely not let us off. I don't care, can you handle it?"

"…Hm?"

Sothing's not right.

Sothing's off.

I haven't said anything yet, what are you muttering about over there?

Seeing Lappland sit calmly on the bed, looking at him with a strange gaze he had never seen in two lifetis, Li Lin frowned, intuitively feeling many things were wrong. This creature Lappland must be overthinking so ssy stuff again, and it definitely wasn't anything good.

Just as Li Lin's intuition was frantically alarming, Lappland sat on Li Lin's bed, looking calmly at Li Lin's increasingly strange face, revealing a slightly provocative smile.

"Do I have to take the initiative for this kind of thing? If we don't tell the other few, it should be okay, right? Ti might be a bit tight, after all, they're coming back soon. Thinking about it carefully, it's quite exciting. Indeed, there's no lack of fun with you around."

"What thing? Huh? I just want you to join the civilian inspection team, what ssy stuff are you on about?"

"…?"

"????"

Man and dog (implying Lappland as a Lupo) stared deeply at each other, both reading heads full of question marks in each other's pupils.

I've been thinking a lot about the Patreon tiers... and it didn't sit right with that so people can read 70 advanced chapters, while others really want to but just can't afford the $20 tier.

So, I've made a change. I decided to remove the other tiers and keep just one tier — and I lowered the price to $12.That way, everyone gets access to everything, and it feels fairer to all of us. 💖

Thank you for always supporting . You're the reason i keep translating this wonderful fan fic!!
