Video Games: Starting From Resident Evil

Aiden had always bathed very quickly, often done in just a few minutes. But today, he dawdled a little, spending over ten minutes before coming out.

It wasn't because he had suddenly become fond of cleanliness, but because he heard the conversation going on outside. The bathroom door's soundproofing was poor, and the androids hadn't lowered their voices, so he heard everything clearly.

At first, when he heard the androids' conversation, it was still quite normal, just discussing arrangements for his future life. Then came White asking A2 about some of his situations, such as personality and hobbies.

But as the androids began asking the twin sisters for advice, Aiden's jaw dropped. Because he heard a lot of content that even he felt was a bit extreme.

And hearing the androids' voices echoing in agreement, Aiden had reason to suspect, if they were humans, they might have charged into the bathroom and handled him on the spot.

Fortunately, they were androids, and Aiden was the only human, so he felt he shouldn't need to worry about this.

Only... would that really be the case?

After listening for a while, upon discovering that the content of the androids' conversation had already deviated beyond redemption, Aiden finally couldn't hold back anymore and came out from the bathroom.

Upon seeing him come out, the androids immediately ceased the topic and then all gathered around.

This scene startled Aiden, and he thought to himself, 'Could it be that I was mistaken earlier, and they really do want to deal with me on the spot?'

Fortunately, they only came over to help tidy his clothes and wipe the places on his body that hadn't been dried, and didn't do anything outrageous.

However, under such intimate contact, some close collisions were unavoidable. This made Aiden secretly pleased, while also sighing that androids were just like real people… or rather, even more delicate and elastic. The bionic bodies in terms of touch were indeed excellent, making him feel somewhat tempted to reach out and touch.

But, although he knew the androids definitely wouldn't mind, in the end Aiden still only grabbed A2's hand.

This was the first time he held her hand in the true sense. At that time, he had been dressed very tightly, with gloves on his hands, so even though they had slept together before, it couldn't really be considered intimate contact.

A2, having her hand held, was somewhat nervous, but the warmth coming from the palm quickly calmed her down. She looked at Aiden, her eyes full of tenderness, but even so, she still couldn't suppress that trace of heat in her gaze.

Afterwards, she mustered up courage and threw herself into Aiden's arms.

———

The nights in the NieR world were the hardest to endure, especially after staying for a long time, Aiden felt it even more. He was about to develop the bad habit of going to bed early.

Fortunately, there were many people in the room, and they could chat to pass the time. Only, the topic began to turn formal.

"Commander, right now, on the planet's synchronous orbit, plus the Bunker, there are a total of 13 bases. If you also include the androids from the human base on the moon, the total number of androids in the human military camp is roughly eighty to ninety thousand."

"Among them, the majority are combat models, a small portion are support models responsible for logistics and communications, and there are also some research models responsible for development work, but this type is very few in number, only slightly more than a fraction of the support models."

After resting for a while, Aiden began to inquire with the android high-levels about the number of androids.

The first to respond was White. Although her position wasn't the highest among the android high-levels, and unlike Anemone she wasn't the first to meet Aiden, she was the first to come support him, and also the most courageous.

After listening, Aiden was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Only this few?"

The game hadn't explained how many androids were on the orbit, not even in the Bunker from the main perspective. So Aiden naturally wasn't very clear.

However, by his estimate, the dozen or so bases together should have at least over a hundred thousand. But now, to not even reach a hundred thousand, this was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Orbital base resources are extremely scarce, entirely relying on rocket transport from the ground. Furthermore, constructing an android factory requires a very large area. Coupled with the difficulty of creating android cores and limitations from other factors, the output has always been low," White explained.

Then she added, "Moreover, every few years, we carry out a large-scale descent operation. The combat losses are huge. If three out of ten can be recovered, it's already considered a small loss."

Hearing this, Aiden nodded. He didn't ask the foolish question of why not build the factories on the surface, after all, he also knew that after the human army retreated to the moon, the surface had basically been occupied by machine lifeforms.

Especially the factories and resource-producing areas, those were the key strongholds of the machine lifeforms. Those areas even had the machine lifeform servers set up, otherwise it wouldn't make sense why every time the human army carried out a large-scale descent operation, they always prioritized destroying some region's servers.

Then Aiden looked toward Anemone. Without him needing to speak, the other party immediately said, "I've recorded the number of resistance fighters at this base and the nearby small camps. The number of resistance fighters in this region is about ten thousand. Among them, a portion are old-model androids manufactured by factories leftover from the human era. The rest, like me, came down from the orbital bases."

Anemone also descended from the orbital base for the descent operation. But because base resources were scarce, androids like her, produced with older technology, would stay on the surface after the campaign ended. So she could only be considered part of the resistance camp, not the human military camp.

"Adding together, it's almost a hundred thousand, but it still feels a bit few." Aiden slightly furrowed his brows.

A hundred thousand androids might sound like a large force, but compared to the machine lifeforms, it was still too little.

Although androids had stronger combat abilities than machine lifeforms, the number of machine lifeforms was usually dozens of times more than androids. If they really fought a large-scale battle, androids actually didn't have the advantage.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Aiden continued to ask, "Is there a way to contact the resistance in other regions? Blue Star is so big, there should be other large resistance camps, right?"

"It's possible to contact. And there are many resistance camps that can be contacted. But the scale of those camps is far smaller than the one Anemone is in, generally only around a thousand people." A high-level android said.

"Also, there are not many locations suitable for setting up camps. So the resistance camps on the surface are very scattered. Even if contact is made, gathering them together would be a big problem." Another high-level android spoke.

"Alright, it seems my idea of concentrating the superior forces of a local region has fallen through." Aiden shook his head, feeling a bit regretful.

After a while, he suddenly recalled what White had just said, and asked, "You just said that android production has other restrictions besides resources and space, so what exactly are those restrictions?"

Upon hearing this, all the androids looked toward him. Then, White said, "According to the Human Protocol, androids cannot arbitrarily build factories for autonomous production. Unless they obtain human authorization, they can only build small-scale factories with low output, like Base 13, that is, the Bunker. That's why we later transformed to only produce elite-model YoRHa units."

"But now it's different. With Commander here, as long as you nod, we can build large android factories on the moon. By then, production can be increased."

"So, I need to give permission before large-scale factories can be constructed, in order to increase the production of androids?" Aiden was dazed for a moment.

'Sounds like it was a kind of precautionary measure against androids after humanity drastically declined? At that time, were humans afraid of being replaced by androids?'

Thinking about it, that made sense too. The concern of humans being replaced by machines was an enduring topic. Fear was also normal. But the humans back then clearly didn't expect that androids would be so loyal, even knowing that humanity had already gone extinct, they would still choose to fabricate a lie to deceive themselves, giving themselves the motivation to keep on living.

Recalling the loyalty of androids, Aiden let out a slight sigh, then said, "Since that's the case, then go ahead and do it. Build more factories, produce more androids, and then, for me… for us, take back our homeland."

But at this moment, White said solemnly, "Commander, not for us, it's for you."

Hearing that, Aiden froze, then could only smile and nod. 'Androids truly are loyal beyond words.'

After that, Aiden chatted a while longer with White and the others about future development direction, and also gave some suggestions regarding operations against the machine lifeforms.

Of course, he was only skilled in small team combat, and had no real research in large-scale army battles. At most he knew some tactics like concentrating superior forces.

So in the end, he emphasized again that his words were just suggestions and could only be used for reference. As for how to command battles, it would still have to be decided by the androids themselves.

He was very aware of one thing, reckless command would lead to big problems. History was full of such cases.

This kind of formal, serious topic didn't last very long, as the night had already deepened.

Aiden yawned, got up and slowly walked toward the bedroom. The androids who were whispering in the living room immediately quieted down. Then he saw the twin sisters rush ahead of him, entering the bedroom to help him make the bed.

But not long after they went in, they came back out, because the bedroom's bedding was very simple.

There was only one pillow stuffed full of sun-dried flower petals, which Aiden had asked Yakor to make for him when he really couldn't stand it anymore.

Besides that, there was only a neatly folded cloak. But during this period, Aiden always slept with his clothes on, and the camp at night wasn't cold, so he didn't need it.

It was just used as a pillow for A2. After all, that could be considered a gift he gave to A2, and she cherished it greatly.

Looking at the twin sisters walking out with bewildered expressions, Aiden smiled, then began to take off his coat. After being in this world for so long, it was still his first time undressing to sleep.

Very quickly, with only a short shirt and shorts left on his body, Aiden lay on the bed. He looked at all the androids standing outside the bedroom and said, "You all go rest too. Whatever it is, talk about it tomorrow."

The androids nodded, but none of them left. Among them, White even discreetly glanced at Yakor sitting on the sofa, then softly asked, "Commander, do you need someone to accompany you tonight?" She really had taken Yakor's joke seriously.

Looking at the androids waiting for his response, Aiden sighed somewhat helplessly, feeling like he was flipping cards to choose someone for bedtime.

Only, just as he was hesitating, A2 took the initiative to step forward, then as usual took off her clothes and lay down beside him.

Seeing this scene, White and a few other high-ranking androids could only leave the room in disappointment.

Although they could have stayed in the room to rest as well, the place was still too small. Standing was okay, but sleeping would be a problem, 11B would probably fight for space again. She was still sleeping on the floor after all.

Not having a place for them to sleep was one thing; they also had other things to do. Since their commander was staying on the surface, after a brief discussion, they decided to send someone to transport some equipment from the moon base overnight.

Just after they left, Anemone and Kaine also departed. Honestly, their relationship with Aiden wasn't bad. It was just that they too had matters to handle. There were still so many resistance members stranded outside the camp, they needed to be arranged properly.

Now only a few people were left in the room with Aiden. Of course, that also included the twin sisters, their relationship with Aiden wasn't any worse than 2B's.

But the room was only so big. After discussing for a while, they and 2B went to the room next door.

However, just before leaving, the two sisters ran over to Aiden's side and each kissed him once. This made 2B pause for a moment. As she was wondering whether she should do the same, she was dragged out of the room by the sisters.

Thus, the room finally fell completely silent.

Aiden pinched his brow. A lot had happened today. He really felt a bit tired. But glancing at A2 lying next to him, he smiled again, then pulled A2 into his arms and slowly closed his eyes.

However, just as he was drifting off into sleep, he vaguely heard rustling sounds, seemed like someone was undressing. Then, he heard the sound of bare feet stepping on the ground. Before he could open his eyes to look, a lightly clad body lay down on his other side, and a smooth arm draped across his chest.

At this moment, outside the bedroom, 11B's eyes were wide open in shock... A night without words.

———

[The Next Day]

When Aiden woke up, he was the only one in the bedroom. The person who had slept beside him last night was now busy outside preparing breakfast for him.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Aiden yawned as he walked out of the bedroom. Then he saw that the room had already changed drastically, not only were there a lot more pieces of furniture, but he even saw a game console and a projector.

Looking a little confusedly at Yakor who was walking over with a dish in her hands, Yakor pointed toward the outside.

Aiden immediately walked out of the room and instantly saw that the once empty street was now filled with large amounts of furniture and equipment.

And at the open space at the end of the street, a transport aircraft was parked. At that moment, androids were continuously unloading things from inside the transport aircraft.

Just as he was looking around curiously, White's voice rang in his ear, "Commander, good morning."

"It's White, ah. Mm, good morning."

Hearing White's voice, Aiden turned his head to look, and also returned a greeting.

Then he saw White striding toward him with long legs. The well-fitting white commander uniform perfectly displayed her figure, and with her movements, the long skirt that was slit at the base of her thighs was slightly kicked open. The long legs wrapped in white knee-high boots were faintly visible beneath the skirt hem, naturally drawing his attention.

Moreover, he even saw the smooth skin at the base of White's thighs. It seemed… it seemed she wasn't wearing any underpants? It couldn't possibly be that she was bare down there, right? Could it be she was wearing string-tied panties?

His own commander's undisguised gaze was, of course, noticed by White. At the same time, she also noticed that when she stopped walking, and her legs were covered by the skirt, there was a trace of disappointment in the commander's eyes.

At that moment, she recalled what the twin sisters had said last night, ("Commander is a man. Men, well, they like long legs, like chests… We've heard that some people used to like uniforms, the so-called uniform fetish. Don't know whether our commander likes that.")

Thinking of those words, White couldn't help but secretly wonder whether her outfit matched the commander's aesthetic preferences.

However, at the very least, she had learned one thing, Commander seemed to like her legs quite a bit.

Although she had come to know part of Aiden's preferences, White still couldn't bring herself to deliberately lift her skirt to show off her long legs. Even though she had indeed considered this idea, it had only been a thought. In front of her subordinates, she would still maintain her own image.

Aiden naturally didn't know that in just this brief moment, White had thought about a whole mess of things.

He suppressed the fantasies in his heart, shifted his gaze away from the base of White's thighs, and looked back toward the street. Then, pointing at some devices he didn't recognize, he asked, "What are these things used for?"

White looked in the direction he was pointing. Probably because those devices had been disassembled too much, she took a careful look before recognizing them, and replied, "The command console and main control core of the command center dismantled from the bunker base."

"You're planning to move the command center back to the surface?" Aiden asked curiously.

"Yes. Since Commander, you wish to remain on the surface, in order to protect you while also allowing for convenient command, I coordinated with the other twelve bases and decided to establish a joint command center on the surface… no, I mean it should be a command post instead." White explained.

Then continued, "I'm very sorry that we didn't discuss this matter with you, but for the sake of your safety, we made the decision on our own."

While saying this, a trace of nervousness still appeared on White's face. Although this decision was definitely a good one and wasn't really some major decision, she still worried about being blamed.

Looking at White's nervous expression, Aiden smiled and shook his head, "I don't blame you all. After all, you did it for my own good."

White immediately let out a long breath of relief, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

To be honest, whether in the game or this real world, Aiden's impression of White had always been that of someone with a perpetually stern face, who didn't smile or joke, and seriously issued commands without error, a mature 'big sister' type.

But seeing her slightly shy smile now, Aiden's impression changed a little. He stared at her face for a while, and only when he made White nervous again from staring did he finally speak, "You look very pretty when you smile."

"R-Really?" Although she had been complimented, White seemed even more nervous. The one who could calmly handle work and give orders without the slightest error was, surprisingly, stammering now.

"Of course it's true." Aiden nodded, showing a genuinely impressed expression, and continued, "It's very pleasing to the eye. Seeing you makes my mood much better."
