Chapter 7
(-)
Several weeks have passed since Nepgear and the others have been taking care and managing four G-Farm's, peace continues in Gamindustri. Inside the newly renovated Neptower that can house many large robots at once with a few additions, two girls are looking at a tablet in the afternoon.
Nepgear and Gehaburn were overseeing the status of Planeptune's G-Farm, which is in good condition based on what the Nep-Track Tablet had shown them through the statistical display.
Two sections were on the screen. The left side showed the percentage bar of the farm's land and goods. Its percentage is on a safe level thanks to Magic being the one charged in that section, they can tell that it was her from the Magic's chibi face icon on the top left.
On the right side displayed the bar for the monster's stats and well-being, both looked over by Judge, with his chibi icon on the top right.
The bar was constantly moving back and forth a little bit but it wasn't enough to go past through the minimum for critical number, but this made Nepgear concerned about what was going on.
"Hmm, this is a bit worrying," Nepgear said with a small pout
"Least it's not that bad, maybe Judge needs some time to get it together. It's only been a few weeks after all" Gehaburn said to ease up Nepgear.
"Guess so, this is Judge after all. But I should check up on him to see if something's up"
"Fair enough, there's also the party we are gonna have here inside the tower with Kurome and the four felons with some monsters as well to celebrate the success of the G-Farm project"
"Mhm, anyway let's go see Judge first then the others as well" Nepgear suggested while gesturing to Gehaburn to come with her.
"I gotta tell Magic first that we're going out, you go on ahead and wait in the portal room"
Nepgear nodded and went away to the mentioned room. Gehaburn turned to her back and walked to the hall room. "Yo Magic! Me and Nepgear gonna go out for a while to see the others, we'll leave the finishing touch of the party to you and the Bits okay?"
"Yeah, don't worry about it. It'll be ready when you and my lady have returned" Magic said while she was setting up the place with several bits with hands built by Nepgear, Magic was wearing a business suit since her bikini armor clothing was a bit distracting.
Gehaburn nodded at her response and went back to Nepgear inside the Portal Room near the Sharicite Chamber. Four big portal gates were available leading to four G-Farm's main bases, which were made by Gehaburn with the help of Kurome and Nepgear.
"All done?" Nepgear asked.
"Yep"
"Then let's go in" Nepgear then went inside the portal labeled "Planeptune" first after she said that, Gehaburn then followed from her back.
The two were gone from the portal room and the portal closed itself since there was no one to access it anymore.

At Planeptune's training field, Judge and other monsters, which were Dogoo's, Insect's, Avian's, and Plant's, were doing their routine exercise together. The four listed types were today's scheduled turn in attending the exercise with Judge.
Though Judge was a bit forcing on them.
"COME ON, don't be such pussies! We've got a boss lady for us to impress!" Judge shouted at them due to their sluggish movements.
"But sir…" A Black Spider spoke to him while panted. "We haven't got any…rest…"
"NONSENSE, you guys just haven't used all of your energies! So tough it up and-"
"Ok stop"
Nepgear was seen on top of Judge chopping his head with her bare hands which sounded like a bonk and stopped Judge from continuing his words.
"Whoa, what a chop dunk" Gehaburn commented, though it seems none had heard her.
"OUCH! Boss Lady?" Judge exclaimed.
"Why are you forcing them like that? It's not good for their health cause of the high fatigue and stress on them" Nepgear demanded an answer from Judge.
"Well, I-i was uh…thought that they were lacking today, so I heightened up the training regiment a b-bit" Judge explain nervously, due to his Boss Lady looking at him with a displeased look.
"Really?" Nepgear asked as she looked on to her left side where the monsters were, there was also Gehaburn doing her own thing by giving each of the monsters some wind from her big purple aura hands to cool off as they take a breather.
"More or less like that," one of the Rukh's said, then continued "But he wanted to impress mistress by making us train more than we used to"
"I see…" Nepgear then looked again at Judge with a straight face, Judge looked down in shame because of his actions that displeased the Lady Boss.
"To be fair, we also want to impress you, boss like what sir Judge wanted to," A Nue said to Nepgear "But we also know our limits so we need a break"
"And that's good, realizing that you have a limit shows that all of you can break the limit itself, just need some rest to balance it. Else it'll be futile to force it all the way. Now go on and take the break you all needed, I'll be here for a while talking to Judge" Nepgear lectured them with a soft but firm tone, all of the monsters left the area to each of their rest beds. Gehaburn went back to Nepgear's side.
"Listen Judge" Judge lifts his head "I am happy to hear that you wanted to impress me, especially with your fierce enthusiasm"
"Then-" Judge then cut off his words as Nepgear quickly spoke again.
"But forcefully training them was not the answer, they need some time to get as strong as you. You need to pair your fierceness with some leniency, otherwise, they won't get powerful and even distrust you as their trainer" Nepgear lectured Judge.
"I'm sorry Boss Lady" Judge whimpered.
"Don't look so down Judge, you still got time to say sorry to them. They did talk fair for you thus, you wouldn't get all the blame. Lighten up, take Gear's advice to heart, and make amends with the others" Gehaburn said while she pats Judge's bottom hovering part.
"What Burn said" Nepgear added.
"Yeah…Boss Lady and Burn are right! I'm the fiercest of among the four, I shouldn't be sulking up like a wimpy ass! I'll make them accept my apology even if I have to do apologize several times!" Judge quickly fired up and hovered away in the direction where the monsters were headed.
"DON'T FORGET TO COME BACK TO THE NEPTOWER FOR THE PARTY!" Gehaburn shouted with both hands around the mouth, Judge still hovered away but get the message shown from his right hand waving.
"Well, that clears the problem with Judge"
"Hopefully that he'll get my words and starts to properly train them, onto the next check-up?" Nepgear called on Gehaburn regarding their next stop.
"Well yeah, seeing Trick would be nice. Back to the portal, it is!" Gehaburn skipped off followed by Nepgear heading to the portal gate room inside the Planeptune's training field's main base for their destination where Trick resides.
And that place is Leanbox's G-Farm Main Base.
(-)
Nepgear and Gehaburn stepped out from the portal labeled "Planeptune", They have arrived at Leanbox's G-Farm Main Base which was once a Leanbox Basilicom.
"Alright, on we go to Trick's room" Gehaburn walked a bit until she noticed Nepgear was standing still near the portal gate that was still on.
"Why aren't you going, Gear?" Gehaburn asked.
"Wait for it…" Nepgear responded while she crossed her arms at her breasts.
Seconds after Nepgear said that a giant tongue appeared in front of them and waved its tongue at them.
"Hi?" Gehaburn said as she waved back at the tongue with a little bit f confusion
The tongue then wrapped both girls and pulled them farther from the portal leaving it to turn off.
"This is convenient," Gehaburn said while being dragged away by the tongue on the hallway.
"Relaxable and pleasuring too" Nepgear counted those parts too due to the tongue's massage mechanism and fragrant smell that feels relaxing to them.
As the tongue stopped, Nepgear and Gehaburn were dropped by it and met with Trick in his room with an additional surprise.
"Ah, Gearsy and Burnsy, dropping by to Trick's place huh. What a coincidence"
"Kurome? What are you doing with Trick?" Gehaburn questioned Kurome who was in front of Trick.
"Ah well, Lady Kurome humbly presents herself to me so she can acquire the application for her scarred skin that I recently finished making" Trick explained as he gave a lotion bottle to Kurome from his chemical shelf "But I never guessed that you two ladies would come here as well at the same time. My smell sense wasn't wrong in recognizing you both"
"Yeah well, we were just stopping by her to check up on you and the farm's status, that's all. Seems all is good on your side?" Said Nepgear while tidying up her black clothes after the tongue ride.
"Apparently yes, both conditions on the land and monsters which were all-natural and beast-like types are at a good level, all thanks to my supervision," Trick told to his mistress "But.."
"But?"
"Big Butt?" Gehaburn joked after Nepgear raised an eyebrow cause of Trick's "But" part, which made everyone in Trick's room look at her with a straight face.
"Really Burnsy?" Kurome said to her
"Sorry, I know it's a bad joke but couldn't help myself to hold it. Hehe," Gehaburn apologized "EHEM, anyway. What's the problem, Trick?"
"To put it simply, dealing with two parts of a big farm system on my own is tiring. Someone other than me that could fill up one part would ease up my work, like what Judge and Magic do" Trick explained.
"I see. I presume Kurome has the same issue as well in Lastation?" Nepgear looked at Kurome.
"Yeah, probably the same goes for Brave as well in Lowee" Kurome added.
"Hmm" Nepgear pondered for a while, then she asked Gehaburn something. "Can we do the same method as we did with Trick and the others but different ones?"
"We could, but you know we don't have enough materials to do that right? Especially when we use them regularly for goods and other stuff" Gehaburn told her.
"Welp, guess we'll have to figure that out later. For now, each of us has to help each other but only if one or more of you have some spare time, agreed?"
All of them nodded in agreement with Nepgear's temporary solution.
"Okay, now that's that, Imma head back to Lastation's main base for the final checkups. Couldn't miss the party we're gonna have inside the Neptower of course. Trick, take me away!" Kurome demand.
"Don't mind if do" Trick then wrapped her tongue around Kurome and readied his tongue to extend to the portal gate room.
"See ya later Gearsy, Burnsy, and Tricksy" Kurome was gone as she had said her words.
"You're enjoying this aren't you?"
Trick didn't respond until his tongue was back "Well yes, I savor the feeling every time I wrap beautiful ladies with my tongue. Gives me that good sensation"
"We don't mind it anyway, mainly cause of how good it feels on your tongue" Nepgear commended Trick.
"Why thank you," Trick said while he bowed his head a bit with his right arm placed between his chest and fat stomach and his left arm extended to the left, making a butler-like gesture but his ass was still sitting on the floor. "Shall I give both of you a ride as well"
"Yes"
"Hit it"
"Okey Dokie" Trick got off of his gesture and envelop them ladies with his tongue, again "I'll be there on the Neptower for the party as well after I cleaned up my room a bit"
"We'll be waiting" Gehaburn responded.
Gehaburn and Nepgear were dragged away onto the portal gate room for a while. Once they arrived, Trick retracted his tongue and slide to his room to clean up his mess of some excess of his chemicals from some medications and some dust from his collection of various girl figures ranging from a young age to mature age with different boob sizes.
In essence, he is a gentleman with more varied tastes.

At Lowee's Main Base. which was also once its Basilicom, Nepgear and Gehaburn were already arrived and are inside Brave's room filled with fiery decors and some super robot figures and posters.
But there's no presence of Brave himself.
"Huh, where is he right now?" Gehaburn noticed a Dagon was passing by and she called to it "Hey, do you know where Brave is at?"
"Sir Brave? He's on the top of the roof meditating alone after he had done his work. Details are on his desk" The Dagon explained.
"And you can't just interrupt a knight's earnest meditation" Gehaburn commented while she picked up the report on his desk in detail.
"Tell him when he's done with his ruminating that don't forget to be at the party in Neptower, got it?"
"Got it," Dagon said.
Nepgear and Gehaburn walked away back to the portal room while looking at their report about the land goods and monsters that can withstand Lowee's cold. It shows Brave chibi icon on the top middle position
while the charts measuring two parts were in good condition.
As the two were finally not visible to the Dagon, it then spoke to someone particular.
"Did you get all that sir?"
"Yes, thank you for covering me" Said Brave's voice coming from the rooftop.
On the rooftop, Brave was in a meditating position.
'Good, my area sense is getting stable. Once I mastered it I can be more helpful to my queen and get my brethren even stronger with my help physically and mentally' Brave thought to himself.
'Also I can't wait for all of us to celebrate an occasion of our success'
He then silenced his mind and went back to focus on his meditation while Lowee's snow was still slowly breezed on the evening.

Three hours later, around 9 PM. The colorful glowing light is visible on the middle part of Neptower, which was the Hall room that Magic and her Bits had prepared, indicating the party is ongoing right now.
Inside, some monsters were in the party doing some party dance, drank some exclusive drinks that make them drunk but a healthier version by Magic's brewing.
Eating contests were also there between them monsters with Trick and Judge leading and still at a stalemate, Kurome was so full that she passed out and slumped on her chair.
Brave was standing on the stage, holding a giant microphone fitting for his hands, and sang a "Hot-Blooded" type song this time. All those who listened to it were pumped up and partied to their utmost content.
Gehaburn was chugging a beer mug and let out a big burp from her mouth, while on her side of the table, Nepgear slowly finished her beer milkshake on her mug.
"Haaahh, Nothing beats a good ol' drink after our work! Am I right Gear?"
"It sure is," Nepgear said while putting her empty mug, picked up by a nearby Earth Golem wearing a black bow, and went away. "Our project worked so well I couldn't believe it, we even got this far cause of it"
"Well duh, It's your Project Idea after all. Have some faith in what you come up will ya? Largely due to you putting a lot of thought into it. Even though I just showed you how loyal the monsters are, you somehow make it better for them and it doubles the loyalty.
"You're right. Even though there are some problems, I believe that we can get through this all"
"That's the spirit, Gear!" Gehaburn encouraged Nepgear while patting her back with her right hand and throwing her empty mug towards an Earth Golem for it to catch it.
"Hey! Not too hard!"
"Hehe, sorry" Gehaburn apologized as her hand scratched her head while making a silly face.
After a short while, Gehaburn spoke to Nepgear with a bit of a sad tone.
"Hey Gear, can we talk with just the two of us on the Veranda?"
"What's this all of the sudden?"
"Look, just hear what I have to say there" Gehaburn as she tries to convince Nepgear while standing up in front of her.
"Alright…" Nepgear spoke softly while a bit confused at Burn's sudden invitation.
They both went over to the Veranda, leaving behind the others partying out inside.
As the two were outside during the night with a dark red sky, they saw a Red Doggo and a High Heal Dogoo sleeping together. It seems they were tired from the girl's point of view.
"You wouldn't mind them right?"
"Yeah. They are sleeping right now, so it's okay" Gehaburn reassured her.
"Now…" Nepgear started while leaning on the Veranda's edge "What is it you wanna tell me?"
"Thank you, and sorry"
"Huh? Why thanked and apologize to me at the same time?" Nepgear raised an eyebrow at her
"I thanked you for giving me a really good time, I was finally able to get such memories of myself enjoying things with you and those around me"
"You were alone for such a long time and the memories you had before were not as happy as this one, did I guess it right?"
"What a smartass ain't you" Gehaburn chuckled a bit, then back to her sad serious tone. "You are right, all my memories since I was made and then used were all I did not want"
"I kept being used and abandoned, intentionally or unintentionally, as my role as a Malice Sword. The cycle was the same no matter who was my owner, at that time I wished for myself to never exist so I won't bring sadness and despair to anyone" Gehaburn told Nepgear before continuing on
"When I met you, I knew you were gonna use me again. I shouted and shouted to you with every breath I had to tell you to not wield me and think of other ways to defeat Arfoire, but It was all in vain as I weren't able to reach you to these fucking restrictions and all your CPU friends and sister had to die cause of me!" Gehaburn cried with anger at herself, her fists were clenched hard.
Nepgear pulled the crying girl close to her so she can hug her, Gehaburn calmed down a bit with how warm her owner was.
"Would you like to go on? Or is it too painful for you to continue" Nepgear said while stroking Gehaburn's straight hair.
"Yeah, I would like to get this off from my chest and tell you about it" Gehaburn firmly told Nepgear, she then got off from the hug and looked to Nepgear to continue her words.
"I thought that after defeating Arfoire you were gonna discard me or commit suicide, but instead, you kept hold on to me. Time flies by and I realized that you are different from all of my past owners. From that, I swore to myself to protect you from any harm. The rest of the story, well….."
"I know, I was the one who experienced all of it," Nepgear said, recalling the events of her betrayal by her fellow so-called friends and Nepgear pulled an act of revenge on them and all of humanity.
"Right on, you looked powerful when I saw you purging them. But I feel that all those things you've experienced were because of me and I feel guilty and hated myself more. So that is why I said sorry to you, Gear"
"Very thoughtful of you, Burn. Though I didn't expect you to be this down"
"Aw come on, I can also be like this y'know," Gehaburn pouted after her words.
"Hahaha, now that's more like it" Nepgear then put her right hand on Gehaburn's left shoulder.
"I do also feel the same way as you, I imagined that what if I had chosen a different way in the past, things wouldn't start to fall on me. But I would not be able to meet you like this and the others as well. You said it yourself, I gained something new with the addition that I am strong myself. So go back to your usual self rather than this"
"Alright, alright sheesh. I'm getting teary eyes cause of this, but I'm glad you are okay with me" Gehaburn let out a sigh of relief.
"Yep, all those things are all in the past now. We must focus on the present and the future to enjoy our life together" Nepgear walked a bit back into the party hall gate, then she turned back to see Gehaburn still standing seeing her.
"So don't be a pole and let's return to the party for us to enjoy, okay?" Nepgear extends her left arm.
"Yeah," Gehaburn grab her arm with her right arm "Let's"
"Mhm, want to take on the eating contest with Judge and Trick?"
"Hell yeah, I'll show them how it is done!"
The two then went back inside and participate in the eating contest, which in goes on for a while until they were all tired, and went to each of their homes leaving the Met Froggy clean-up squads to clear up the mess requested by her queen. They did not complain cause all of them had a good time and the job fits them well.

"HEY HEY, This is Gehaburn and we are finally able to start our first…"
"NEPSTATION!"
"With me as the first host and the second is the old lady Arfoire herself in her normal form!"
"Who the fuck are you calling me an Old Lady!? And what am I doing here? I was supposed to not exist anymore"
"Not in here you're not, this here is where we can talk about stuff and it is unrelated to the main story. In other words, this is non-canon"
"Intriguing, I'll play along for now. My role was short in here so eh why not. Now, what is the topic that we have right now?"
"Glad you ask, today we're just gonna talk about how the author used some specific monsters name in this fanfic"
"I see, well it is applaudable that this author used the monster's name here but would the author gonna keep on like this and use different names?"
"Why not? The author will put some other names depending on various frequencies and usage. So yeah up to the author"
"Intriguing, I would imagine that the ones from Colosseum are used as well later on"
"Yep, and oh almost forgot. The author teased for the next chap that it would be the start of a new arc after this rebuilding arc"
"Ah, new adventures for you and the young Deity Nepgear huh. I almost envy you all, and you even have an interesting world right now with monsters living leisurely"
"Heh, maybe when you'll appear in here again we would tell you all about it later"
"Fair, though it seems our time is almost up"
"Yep, especially you're starting to light up and fade away. So let's close this Broadcast"
"This is Gehaburn signing off"
"And this is Arfoire fading off, adios…."
"Wait, since when Arfoire was a Spanish person? Oh well, in here it is not canon so ehhh"
"Anyways, bye-bye!"
