Arknights, but Raising Terra Chapter 23

"And it's been a few years after she matured, so this Demon King Rabbit is in her twenties now?"

"Then it's perfectly normal for this little rabbit to think about romantic matters?"

"And in contrast—"

Chen Ran turned his head and glanced at Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, who was floating outside the small castle. She seemed to have already claimed this small castle as her own, and was intently watching to see if the Demon King Rabbit was causing any trouble.

But the key point was that the Demon King Rabbit was changing clothes!

This led to the little rabbit finally losing her patience, reaching out a hand, and closing the window.

This action shut Heart of the Corrupted Skadi out, causing her small eyes to widen. She immediately floated towards Chen Ran.

Then, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi grabbed Chen Ran's hand and pointed towards the castle with her little finger, as if complaining about something.

"Alright, alright, the little rabbit is happy because she has new clothes," Chen Ran skillfully took out a bag of small biscuits from his pocket and said, "Don't be upset, have a small biscuit first."

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi: "... ..."

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi naturally still felt a bit resentful, but she couldn't disobey the Lord God.

So, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi could only sulk and sit on Chen Ran's shoulder while eating the small biscuits.

She continued eating until the main door of the small castle was opened. Amiya, no longer floating, walked out of the castle wearing black pantyhose and small leather shoes.

"Oh, this looks just right."

Seeing Amiya, who seemed a bit uncomfortable wearing this classic style for the first time, constantly tugging at the hem of her skirt and sleeves with her fingertips, Chen Ran couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

"Mmm..." Amiya showed a hint of girlishness for the first time and tentatively asked, "Does this outfit... suit me...?"

"It suits you perfectly. If other little rabbits can wear it, why can't you, little rabbit?" Chen Ran pointed, "Spin around and let me see."

"Okay."

Upon hearing the Lord God say this, Amiya thought about it and realized it was true. She was Amiya, after all. Why should she feel it didn't suit her?

So, Amiya, with the mindset of someone shopping for clothes, gently twirled around, holding the hem of her skirt.

After turning back, Amiya raised her small head, instinctively wanting to hear the Lord God's praise—

"It's beautiful, but it feels a bit off. Is it because you've grown up, little rabbit, and your temperament is more towards a young lady now? And while it has the 'Amiya' vibe, it's lost the 'Demon King Rabbit' vibe."

Chen Ran thought for a moment, then pointed again, "Why don't you go change into white stockings?"

"Okay."

Amiya didn't think much of it and obeyed, obediently returning to the small castle.

Every time she changed into a new outfit and received praise, Amiya naturally became increasingly engrossed in it.

But as she changed more and more outfits, cycling through all ten of the character illustrations—

"Mmm... something feels a bit off..."

Amiya only then realized belatedly, "Why do I always feel like the Lord God is treating me like a dress-up doll, or a Barbie doll, just to amuse himself?"

... ... ...

... ...

After calming down, this Demon King Rabbit, Amiya, suddenly felt that it was a bit unrealistic.

She had witnessed too much tragedy and had become numb.

But after she resolved herself, no longer indecisive, to shatter all of Terra—

She met the Lord God and gained something she had never had before.

She had a warm little nest—

Although the Lord God had pointed to this small castle and said, "This is your nest from now on," which made Amiya want to complain several times. She wasn't some little hamster; what was a "nest"...

But a nest was a nest, and it wasn't entirely unacceptable.

After all, she also had a closet full of pretty little dresses.

More importantly, finally, someone saw her, saw her as the Demon King Rabbit, and didn't see the shadow of other Amiyas through her.

Under these circumstances, even though her Lord God had just said, "Alright, it's getting late, you all should go to sleep."

Amiya lay on her small bed, covered by her little quilt, but she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Having no other choice, Amiya tiptoed, floated lightly, and drifted to her wardrobe.

She opened it, looked at the closet full of little dresses, reached out and touched them, confirming the smooth texture of the fabric rather than ephemeral fantasy. Only then did Amiya drift back to bed, content.

But she still couldn't sleep.

She had this feeling... of gain and loss?

"Mmm... Speaking of which, has the Lord God gone to sleep yet?"

Amiya found an excuse for herself and floated off the bed again.

She went to the window, opened it, and wanted to see if the Lord God was still there—

"So, Red T, what are you up to now?"

Lord God's voice entered her ears.

Red T?

Ah... are they talking about that red Skadi?

Thinking this, Amiya subconsciously turned her head, looking for where Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was.

To her surprise, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, for some reason, was completely naked except for a pair of black stockings with lace trim. She was sitting by the fish tank, her legs and feet submerged in the water, wiggling and rinsing them.

As she rinsed, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi replied, "Lord God, didn't you say not to put my feet in your mouth while you're sleeping? So I plan to put my feet in your mouth while you're awake."

Chen Ran: "?"

Amiya: "?"

After a long silence, Chen Ran asked again, "Fine, so you taking off your clothes is one thing, but why did you leave the black stockings on? And if you left them on, why are you soaking them in water?"

That's right, that's right, Amiya nodded her head in agreement, she also wanted to know.

Chen Ran originally thought Heart of the Corrupted Skadi would say something like 'wet body temptation'.

But no.

After rinsing her feet, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi, still in her dripping wet black stockings, floated towards Chen Ran.

As she floated, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi replied, "That glowing little box said food should be washed before it enters the mouth."

"Oh, I see." Chen Ran nodded in realization.

Amiya: "?"

Amiya: "... ..."

Amiya: "???"

It's not 'Oh, I see' at all!

No! What are you two doing?!

035. Waking Up, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi's World Collapsed

Amiya was already tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and now she couldn't sleep even more.

She had the fortune to witness precious footage of the Lord God preying on Sea Creatures.

She saw that even though the Sea Creatures used all their skills and tricks, it was all just flashy nonsense.

The Lord God simply reached out a hand, and with one force, broke all methods, grabbing it.

As if treating the Sea Creature as some delicacy, the Lord God opened its mouth, intending to swallow it whole, turning it into a golden core to aid its cultivation.

In a moment of crisis, the Sea Creature spread its wings and soared, trying to break free, but even so, half of its body was still bitten by the gaping maw.

No matter how the Sea Creature flailed its little fists and kicked its little feet, it was useless. Instead, it became stained with the transparent saliva, as if it were about to corrode the Sea Creature's legs.

Having no other choice, the Sea Creature could only give its all, breaking off its tail to escape.

The Sea Creature succeeded. The Lord God spat twice, spitting out the ice-silk-like magic treasure. Looking at the Sea Creature that had escaped, it said:

"Didn't you say yourself, Red T, that you wanted to put your feet in my mouth? Why are you running?"

"It's a bit ticklish..." the Sea Creature replied. "I feel like Lord God is licking my belly."

"Who told you you're so small?" The Lord God gestured with two fingers a few times, then said, "So, Red T, are you still playing? If not, I'm going to go scroll on my phone."

"Playing." The Sea Creature was still persistent, wanting to fight again. "I'm washing the food, it's all wet."

"Oh, go ahead, go ahead." The Lord God waved its hand casually. "How about trying white stockings this time?"

"Okay." The Sea Creature nodded.

Okay, what?!

Listening to their conversation, Amiya couldn't help but cover her little head with the blanket.

When had a little rabbit ever seen such a scene?

She wanted to pretend not to hear, but she couldn't help but overthink.

"Perhaps... perhaps this is just Lord God bestowing a blessing? And I've misunderstood again?"

"Or perhaps... this is normal for Sea Creatures? This is just how that red Skadi shows loyalty to the Lord God?"

Thinking this, Amiya poked her two rabbit ears out from under the covers, tilting her head to listen.

prprpr.

Amiya: "... ..."

Amiya really couldn't hold back anymore. She threw off the blanket, opened the window, and floated out.

"Lord God! Lord God, you—"

As soon as Amiya rushed out, she regretted it.

Because if she had met this Lord God for the first time, she wouldn't have said a word, regardless of whether this Lord God was good or evil.

But after experiencing an unprecedented warmth and gaze, and already feeling a bit of anxiety in her heart, Amiya desperately wanted to deny it in her heart, that her Lord God was actually some evil god, and that his current kindness towards her was only to enjoy the deliciousness of her despair afterward.

But the problem was, even if she rushed out now, what could she do?

Thinking this, Amiya blinked her small eyes the next moment.

Because she didn't see the terrible scene she had imagined.

Instead, she saw Heart of the Corrupted Skadi sitting on Chen Ran's shoulder, while Chen Ran held a mobile phone, the two of them looking like a harmonious and loving couple watching some short film.

"Hm? What's wrong, little rabbit?"

Chen Ran naturally noticed Amiya's sudden appearance. He looked up and said, "Can't sleep alone?"

"Mm... To my Lord God, I am a little insomniac..."

Amiya hesitated as she floated over. While replying, she also glanced at the screen of the phone in Chen Ran's hand: "Lord God, what are you and Skadi doing?"

"Giving her some sex education."

Chen Ran shook his phone, allowing Amiya to see clearly. Then, as if not noticing the slightly embarrassed expression on Amiya's face, Chen Ran reached out, picked up a small bed from the side, and said, "If you can't sleep alone, try staying next to me."

Amiya really wanted to say she was deeply honored and terrified upon hearing this, But as Chen Ran spoke, he had already placed the small bed beside him and beckoned Amiya over.

With such a kind invitation, Amiya could only gently float over, Lie down on the bed, and pull the small blanket up.
