Shortly after they treated all the injured and infested men, K and C-760 once again reached the Secret Base with a small troop of clone soldiers. Sky and Maria greeted their guests without Chris since Chris is taking a rest in his own room.
Before K and his men took the captives away, Sky and Maria have a brief discussion with them regarding the ant infestation since it could turn into a disaster if not handled properly.
"That sounds awful, I guess you and Dr. Ben have make a right choice for sending the ladies to our place. That ant is an exotic species from a desert at the far north away from here, I seriously wondered they got their way here, by right, no one should be able to get near of that desert and survive, so, it is not possible that someone got infested beforehand and brought the ants here from the desert." said K.
"I see. Do you know any method that can eliminate these ants easily aside from purely using magic? We had tried several different methods like boiling water and liquid nitrogen but none of these methods work, and we strictly don't want our land here to get polluted by excessive of chemical substances since the area of the ant infestation is very wide, which is why it is not a wise choice to eliminate them with pure magic, it will be a very tedious job for us at this moment." said Sky, stating out the problems they faced right now.
"I understand your situation, and yes, there is a type of herb that works well at eliminating these ants, a spoonful of that herb powder diluted with water is enough to destroy a whole nest that is wider than ten meters. Most importantly, it is safe for other creatures since it only affects this species of ant." said K.
"That's great! Where can we get that herb?" Sky asked, rather concerned and excited.
"Ironically in that desert where the ants originated from." said K
"Ah..."
"But fortunately, we happened to have some stock with us in the sub quarter, if you need it, I can get someone to send you some." said K.
"Oh! That would be great! I shall accept and thanks for your kindness." said Sky as he did a handshake with K...

Meanwhile, Alliance Kapis sub-quarter. Ai is happily enjoying the snacks and drinks prepared by C-760. Suddenly, a group of five ladies entered the viewing platform. Well, instead of five ladies, it's more like four ladies that are led by a muscular man in a dress and twin ponytails. Yes, one of the ladies has an over muscular body build and a face with mustache and beard.
"Good day, young lady~ I am Q-010 from the Q division. Nickname, Queenie~" said the bearded lady in a rough yet coquette voice.
"Heh?"
"And they are~?"
"U-012, Uri."
"E-022, Eva."
"E-023, Evie."
"N-033... Nana."
"And together we are~?"
"THE QUEEN!"
"Uh... huh?" A bit confused with the situation she is facing, Ai awkwardly clapped as if she just witnessed a bad comedy show.
"Young lady~ That's not how you should respond to us, it's not a show! You should be asking about the purpose of our arrival~!" said Queenie.
"Ah... You are right. What do you need from me?" said Ai in a rather direct, less polite tone as she sensed some unfriendliness from the ladies.
"We want to have a proper showdown with you!" said Uri while pointing at Ai's face.
"Showdown? What showdown? A snack eating showdown?" said Ai, who switched back to her usual tone after knowing their purpose, although she might have a small misunderstanding.
"No... Tsk... We want to have a fight with you!" said Uri, slightly angered by Ai's attitude.
"Ah... I see. A fight. That sounds nice but why would you want to fight me? I was just here to have some snacks and don't you think this place is a bit crowded?" She asked.
"Tsk... Are you messing with us right now?!" Uri shouted in anger.
"Uri, calm down. Miss, Sergeant C-760 praised you in front of us last night, he rarely praised anyone and treated anyone this nice before, so there must be something really good about you. And we happened to witness that single-sided fight you have with the boys down there. It was indeed magnificent. But we would like to try you out by ourselves to see if you are qualified enough for Sergeant's praising." said Eva.
"Mhmm. There is an empty training hall over there, we can have our showdown in that training hall, it is big enough for at least ten people." said Evie.
"Ah... But..." Ai is a bit troubled as she has only taken a few bites of the delicious pie made by C-760.
"Young lady, I am pretty sure that the pie can wait. After all, we don't know if you are qualified enough to eat the dessert made by Sergeant, right?" said Queenie, who sounds slightly threatening...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, as soon as C-760 returned to the sub quarter, he immediately went to the viewing platform to join Ai with her snack time. However, just when he stepped into the viewing platform, he is greeted by an unbelievable sight. The five ladies from 'The Queen' is standing at Ai's side like her bodyguard and humbly servicing Ai as she enjoyed her pie. All of the five ladies looks badly beaten up while Ai has a tiny scratch on her face...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
