Chapter 113 – Female Knight
…Suddenly sparring with a knight.
That said, asking for a coupling on behalf of Ceres, who was in poor physical condition, did not expect that she would fight the knight of St. Mishar where Ceres was.
While Karen was changing into her suit in her dressing room, Ceres, who was standing next to her with a guilty face, asked repeatedly.
“… Karen. Are you really okay?”
Seeing Ceres fidgeting beside her from earlier, Karen smiled bitterly. By this point, she was rather a burden to Karen.
Now, Ceres had told Karen everything about her situation. She had to fight for her because she had the right to know why things turned out the way they did.
Listening to the story, it seems that Ceres had a big fight with Kerene, but it seems that it was connected to the pride of the coupling partner.
In other words, it has turned into a male pilot’s fight for pride.
So today, out of the blue, her man named Voldro and the four toru had a confrontation, which was the current situation.
Karen hinted at Ceres as she checked the look of her suit.
“By the way, Ceres, it’s sortie in a few days, will it be okay? After hearing the story from Netoru, she said that it will still take some time for her condition to improve.”
“Ah···. That, that’s it… You shouldn’t have to worry about that. I’m very concerned about taking care of her body these days… So, I’m sure it will be fine by the scheduled date.”
It wasn’t particularly intentional, but Ceres suddenly panicked and started talking gibberish while sweating profusely.
Karen could vaguely guess from that reaction. It seemed Ceres was currently being ‘treated’ by Netoru. So the reaction is like this
And one more thing to know.
‘…Do you not know yet?’
Ceres didn’t seem to know yet that Karen had also been healed by Netoru. If she knew, she wouldn’t be so embarrassed.
This makes me feel like something is going wrong.
I know this side, but I don’t know the other side, so should I say it feels like I’m hiding a secret unintentionally. Not a very pleasant situation. But even so, it was a bit too much to openly confess to Ceres.
No matter how much therapy it is, how can she proudly say that she is kissing a man?
Besides, if Ceres really has a relationship like that with Netoru, as Natsuo said.
There is no way I can say more.
How would he like to see his lover kissing someone else? Even Ceres would feel bad. Conversely, even if it had been Karen, she would have felt bad.
So it’s best to keep it a secret for now.
Really… Glancing at Ceres, Karen changed her suit while maintaining her awkward smile.
I don’t know why, but as the relationship between the two became more and more certain, my heart felt heavy.

Of course, there was no way the pilots could freely fight against each other while riding holy cavalry. In order to move the holy cavalry, I needed the help of Asuna, the head of maintenance, and above all, permission from the commander.
Fortunately, Lien, who was contacted, allowed us to fight. However, she couldn’t hide her troubled expression.
With the help of Asuna, the armed forces for training were being prepared, and when I finished changing into the pilot suit and arrived in front of the holy cavalry, the cockpit was already open.
Karen stepped inside her own penis bottle and saw Toru sitting in her cockpit.
He had closed his eyes, as if he was meditating, but when he felt Karen’s presence, he quietly opened his eyes.
At that moment, our eyes met naturally, and he said.
“Karen. I’m sorry about this.”
“·······”
Karen’s eyes narrowed at Netoru’s candid apology. Whenever you shamelessly ask for a coupling, do you apologize now?
However, when he said that he knew that Netoru was sorry, the feelings that had been conspiring for no reason were relieved.
So Karen said, she put a light smile on her face.
“What is it, you. It’s too late to apologize. Do you know how surprised she was when she suddenly asked to be coupled up?”
Karen continued her speech as she hunched over in her own cockpit and began connecting with her genitalia.
“And you don’t have to apologize to me. I’m not forced to fight now. It’s just that I’m sorry for you.”
“I’m sorry?”
At Karen’s words, Netoru tilted her head. Because she couldn’t understand the meaning of the words. She wondered if Karen had done something wrong to herself.
Rather, it was Netoru who should be sorry.
Why did she force Karen in because of her male pilots’ pride?
As if answering Netoru’s question, Karen said.
“I overheard you in the infirmary. Didn’t you want to hide from people that you were from the First Independent Mobile Unit?”
“…With just that?”
Netoru let out a laugh. What a big mistake that is Besides, I wouldn’t have heard it on purpose.
It’s likely that Karen heard the story just because she was nearby and somehow happened to hear it.
The Karen that Toru knew was not the kind of person who would secretly eavesdrop on her husband.
“Netoru. Can I ask you something?”
“What?”
“…This is a story I was talking about at a restaurant earlier.”
At that moment, Karen watched Netoru’s expression harden slightly, but she continued her words without stopping.
“The 1st Independent Task Force… Were you in that unit when Barberk fell?”
“·······”
It was a cautious voice.
Netoru stared at Karen, who was hunched over in her cockpit. Before she knew it, she didn’t look back and was looking at her in silence. As if deliberately avoiding each other’s faces.
Thanks to that, Netoru couldn’t tell what kind of face Karen was wearing right now.
Is Karen resentful?
Honestly, she wouldn’t be surprised if Karen resented her. How could she like her troops who couldn’t properly protect her hometown? Even if she swears at it, she has nothing to say as Netoru.
…Warberg.
Netoru closed his eyes. Then, at that moment, darkness came and the memories of that day came to mind clearly.
The scenery of the ruined city and the long evacuation procession.
And there must have been Karen in it. That’s a young Karen. Considering her age now, it must have been a young age when puberty had just begun.
So, did Karen lose her parents at that time as well?
When we were couples, we were bound to bring up all sorts of stories from each other. And among them, the story of Karen’s family was also mixed in.
All Tohru knows, Karen lost her parents to bugs when she was a child, she was told. She was fairly common among people from institutions, so I didn’t care much at the time, but now I couldn’t.
Maybe it’s my fault Karen lost her parents.
Netoru pursed her lips. Her lips are heavy Even saying a word feels like it’s stuck in her throat.
If you try to hide it, you can hide it. But I also hate lies. Because that’s deceiving the girl in front of you. Moreover, isn’t it a coupling partner?
Eventually, Netoru answered in a calm voice.
“That’s right. I was there then too.”
“···Okay.”
Just then, as if the connection had ended, magic circles began to appear around Karen’s body. Magic circles were forming on her waist, thighs and arms.
During the battle, a binding magic circle that prevented her shaking was formed on her limbs, and Karen lightly shook her body as if testing it, then looked back and said,
“Netoru. I’m saying this just in case, but don’t look at me for nothing.”
“···What?”
At the unexpected words, Netoru grew slightly larger.
“You fool. So, don’t look at me for Barberk’s collapse. Because that doesn’t suit you. Just act like you normally do. You, that doesn’t suit you.”
“·······”
What else is this
Karen’s attitude was so bold that Netoru inadvertently blinked at her and lost her words. Then, looking at the four toru, Karen narrowed her eyes and glared at her.
“…You didn’t just think of this, did you? I just thought that if I had fought better back then, it would have been okay. So sorry for me.”
“···That.”
“What. I guess you really thought so.”
I guess it was real. Karen, who was staring at Netoru, snorted. For some reason, Netoru’s hesitant appearance was so strange and strange.
But why?
Seeing Netoru like that reminds me of the past.
I don’t like it even more because I remember what happened then.
Karen liked Netoru, who was brazen as always. She is trustworthy even if she is a bit mean.
So Karen looked at his face and she said quietly.
“If that’s what you really thought, I’m making it clear here, you don’t have to feel guilty about me. I have no intention of blaming you for that.”
“·······”
“…Besides, weren’t you too young back then? No matter how much I thought about it, I don’t think I was in a position to take responsibility. Even if you had fought well back then, I think the outcome would have changed how much.”
It was when Karen said that. Netoru, who had been silently listening to the story, suddenly let out a small laugh.
“Karen. No matter how young I am… I must have been the same age as you now?”
“Huh? Is that so? No. Therefore···.”
Karen, who had muffled her voice as she tugged at her horse’s tail, pondered for a moment before squinting at her eyes.
“…Anyway, it’s true that you were young, right? Where did I say something wrong?”
“No, you are not wrong.”
Around that time, a bluish line appeared along Karen’s spine, along with her control liver. Netoru naturally squeezed Karen’s control arm, and Karen felt her coupling forming, and though she faintly, she could feel Netoru’s feelings.
The party said it was okay, but there were times when the other party could not easily accept it.
Just like right now.
Then, the solution in this case is very simple. It is to create a way out so that the other person can relieve the guilt. So Karen decided to make him her way out.
“If you still feel sorry for me saying this, give me a birthday present before going to Elflandia.”
“Birthday present···?”
“Okay. It’s my birthday soon.”
“···Hmm. That, I will try.”
Did it work fortunately? Karen felt his heart lighten as he gripped her control stick. That’s very fortunate, but there is one thing I’m worried about.
“…By the way, Netoru. Can you defeat a man named Voldro with my holy cavalry?”
Toru answered that question with a shrug of his shoulders.
“Don’t worry. Because if it’s you and me, it’s possible.”
“No, but the opponent is a knight? If you don’t know, I’m from an ordinary institution…”
“Why? Are you anxious? Are you afraid to lose?”
“Huh···.”
Karen nodded her head. She hurts her pride, but it’s true that she’s less than a female knight. After thinking about it for a moment, she said in a serious voice.
“Then just trust me. I will win somehow I will make you regret what that man just said about you as a pilot from an institution.”
“···What?”
Was this guy still paying attention to what the man said earlier?
The moment she wanted something, Karen shut her mouth.
She, by the way, is saying very embarrassing things in a serious voice without hesitation. That’s really shameless.
Thanks to her, Karen felt her face heat up for no reason and lowered her head slightly.
