Night stroll

Apollo sucked his fingers annoyed by the painful sensation of the needle.

The awakening method was nothing new to him. Having experienced once already, he was far from surprised as he saw 5 identical green lolis appearing from the capsules.

Ignoring his new teammates, Apollo tried to accessed the design mode of the lab's computer, but when he clicked an error message appeared.

[Not enough DNA blueprints available]

"What!? How!? Why!? Damn it!!!!!!!!"

Feeling 10% Confused and 90% Pissed off, Apollo slammed the keyboard with both hands, but all it did was scare the 5 little girls and make the computer go back to the previous menu.

"Seems like I have no choice then... God damn it, I want to kill the bastard who limited this option! Don't you dare to try to fool me that such blueprint is expandable! Something virtual is never expandable! I'm not that stupid! Damn it!"

Having no other option, Apollo send another build order for 5 more green lolis and turned his attention to the new arrivals.

"...I should have brought clothes...well, this time it doesn't matter, the barracks are just outside. Come on! Follow me!"

The five new girls didn't answer but still followed Apollo to the barracks in complete silence.

"All right, let's promote all of you to soldier! Go ahead and open the wardrobes!"

Each girl moved to one wardrobe and tried opening it. At the same time, four new messages appeared in Apollo's bracer asking for confirmation.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! And we are done!"

The light covered the 4 girls and as it disappeared brand new green soldier armors and green bucket helmets appeared covering the girls' bodies.

"What? Why is one still naked!?"

The one who the light didn't appear kept trying to open the wardrobe with all it's might. Seeing her sisters all do it easily and get brand new clothes while she was the only one who didn't made her feel shame, anguish and fear of being left behind. So she tried harder and harder but no matter how hard she pulled, the wardrobe didn't move a single bit. Soon tears started dropping from her eyes as her feelings reached a climax.

"Calm down! Calm down! It's my mistake! You didn't do anything wrong! It's okay! It's all right!"

The little girl let go of the wardrobe and looked confused at Apollo who took this change to give her a hug and pat her head to calm her down.

"It's my fault. I didn't know there was a limit of soldiers per barrack. Not being able to open the wardrobe is completely normal. You are not at fault or defective, so don't worry. Even if you can't turn into a soldier, you can fill other vacancy elsewhere."

"No! I don't like this! I want to be a soldier too! I want to be a soldier too! Wahhh!!!"

"All right! All right! No problem! You can be a soldier too! I just need to find a way to increase the limit of soldiers so that you can be promoted as well. Just wait a few days, all right?"

"You promise?"

"Yeah! Yeah! I promise!"

"Hmm... okay..."

(But we can't have you naked like this, so what do I do?)

Looking down as he was thinking, Apollo noticed his own shirt.

"This will have to do for now..."

Taking out his shirt, Apollo put the shirt on the naked girl, making himself half naked.

Seeing their Master's actions, the four soldier girls who were feeling proud of being promoted, started feeling jealous over the one left behind. As a wise man once said, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence...

"All right girls, follow me!"

The night had already arrived but Apollo's bracer acted as a lantern illuminating the path ahead, making it easy to follow the trail back to the Palace, but before going back, Apollo decided to visit some other places...

Arriving at the Research Center Apollo noticed that Alyssa was there, sleeping in front of the computer.

"Hey, Alyssa! What are you doing here?"

"Master! You have arrived! You didn't give me any order so I came back to the lab to do more research! Well, that's not important! The important thing is that our previous research is complete! We can control plants now....as long as we are updated."

"Eh? Updated? What do you mean?"

"An update is an update. Since we are the old model, we need to be updated to be up to the current version."

"What about the girls behind me?"

"Because they were created before the end of the research, they are the same model as us, which if I have your permission I will call first generation."

"How long will it take to update yourselves?"

"Hmm... I'm not sure, but it should be around 1 or 2 hours..."

"Then do it. Update yourselves now!"

"That's impossible."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because we need an upgrade center to update ourselves."

"I... should have imagined... sigh. So, what are you researching now?"

"I was researching how to make our finger became tentacles and-"

"STOP! STOP! NO TENTACLES! TENTACLES ARE BANNED!"

"EH!? WHY!?"

"This is a direct order! I'm banning all tentacle researches!"

"NO WAY!"

"YES WAY! Now forget about it and let's choose some other thing..."

"..."

"Can you research some weapon we can throw or shot?"

"...yes, I can..."

"All right. Focus on this for now, but make sure to come back to the Palace before the sun rises."

"...tentacles..."

"No!"

"Guh!..."

"Next stop, Factory!"

After a short stop in the Factory, Apollo retrieved the cart and filled it with all weapons that had been built, then ordered the new soldier girls to pull it to the Palace.

Finally back at the Palace, Rose greeted him while holding some brand new shirt in her hands.

"Master, if I may..."

"Eh?"

Before he could answer, she pulled his arm and started to help him put on the new shirt, ending it in a flash. As Apollo looked down confused, he noticed this was one of his shirts that should have been left in his home.

"What the hell!? How did this shirt ended up here!?"

"It was in Master's closet."

"My wha- oh, that's right! There was a closet there! I was so tired yesterday that I didn't even investigate it! But why was this shirt over there?"

"It's Master's clothes, so it's obvious that they will be in Master's closet, right?"
