Chapter 101 – Female Knight
#
It’s unexpected. Could it be that Karen was fighting as Netoru’s second in the last battle?
Second.
I’ve heard of it before, but never seen it myself.
Having two coupling partners isn’t efficient.
The male pilot’s physical problems are also a problem, but if that happens, you have to match the coupling wavelength to both of them, which was not an easy task. That’s why it could be neither me nor me if I made a mistake.
And even from the perspective of a female pilot, the position of second was subtle. If the female pilot who can be called first is fine, the second will have nothing to sortie. It was, in effect, an atmospheric resource.
Therefore, the second was only a temporary existence for tactical purposes in a specific situation.
So, deep down, Natsuo was relieved.
When she heard that Karen was just the second of four toru in the battle a few days ago. Moreover, it is said that the person who swapped with Karen was Ceres.
If she, as a female knight, became Netoru’s coupling partner, there would be no reason for Netoru to couple with Karen anymore. Then, naturally, Karen’s coupling partner has no choice but to become Natsuo again.
···Okay. Obviously it should be
“Karen should continue to be second in this mission as well.”
Natsuo momentarily doubted her ears. So he stared blankly at Rien, unaware that his face was hardening.
I can’t seem to catch the flow of my thoughts. It was as if my head had given up on understanding.
At that time, Karen also tilted her head, wondering.
“…You mean me as Netoru’s second?”
“Yes.”
“Is it really necessary? I understand that the purpose of this mission is simply exploration.”
It was unavoidable that Karen became Netoru’s second in the Prasion incident this time. Like Death Worm, there were many risk factors in many ways.
However, this mission was more of a scouting activity to figure out the situation in Elflandia than fighting bugs. Rather, avoid fighting. There’s nothing good about drawing attention from bugs.
Rien nodded as if she understood Karen’s thoughts, but she said quietly.
“I want to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. Since we don’t know the internal circumstances of Elflandia, we don’t know what will happen during the mission.”
Hearing those words, Natsuo, who was beside him, couldn’t stay still. If this happens, Karen will be coupled with Netoru again.
“…Then what will happen to me?”
“Natsuo will be excluded from this mission. Because she’s not feeling well.”
“Any exceptions…”
This was something Natsuo had also guessed. My body is like this, how can I keep up with it? But the problem is, when Karen goes to her second to that guy…
Even now, the wavelengths of Karen and her coupling are narrowly matched, and it was obvious what would happen if the wavelengths changed further here.
Natsuo thought about it. I mean Karen’s body that I felt through the coupling yesterday.
The mana pass and the mana nerve system were all felt by the man’s hand. Karen’s body is now being developed for the man. It’s like being tamed by him.
What would happen if the two of them coupled up like this and the search for Elflandia began? It was obvious. This mission will not be completed in a day or two. This time, Karen will really be taken away.
Natsuo clenched his fists tightly in the worst situation that made his whole body tremble just by imagining it.
“…Commander Lien. Do you really want to take Karen as Netoru’s second? If that happens, you will know what the coupling wavelength between me and Karen will be.”
“That···.”
Rien looked at Natsuo with an apologetic face. Because I know what he wants to say. Karen, who was next to her, also became contemplative.
Here, if Netoru and Karen couple more, the coupling wavelengths of each other will be more and more matched.
And conversely, the agreement rate between Karen and Natsuo drops by such a change.
If it went wrong, Natsuo could really be in a situation where he couldn’t couple with Karen. Rien knew that, so she had no choice but to worry a lot.
Then Karen, who was lost in thought, let out a shallow sigh, she said.
“Natsuo. I guess I can’t help it.”
“What···?”
At Karen’s unexpected words, Natsuo turned her head to stare at Karen. Coincidentally, she, too, looked at Natsuo and blurred her expression.
“The situation in the unit is not good right now. I think how many members of the unit can sortie properly in this mission.”
“…So, you dare to be that man’s second? Maybe I can just go and wait?”
“Because you have to prepare for the worst.”
Karen remembers. It was about the last observation tower. No, not only then. Dangerous situations have been happening frequently these days.
That’s why Netoru’s power was needed. Because if it’s him, he’ll solve any dangerous situation.
Of course, I know how embarrassing and stupid it is to depend on one person, but… Still, he was trustworthy.
But Natsuo had a face that he couldn’t understand. He said in a low voice with a stiff face.
“… In the first place, if that guy needs a second, then he doesn’t have to be you. Do you really have to be the second?”
“Because I’m the only one who can handle that guy.”
“…Is it only you?”
“Okay. Not with the other kids.”
Karen has no intention of doubting Netoru’s personality now. However, his mana was violent, and in many ways it was a great burden to female pilots. In order to handle his capabilities, even female pilots had to overdo it.
Even Karen was able to adapt after a month of coupling, but what about the other members of the unit? Now, there was no time to attach another member of the unit as second, and there was no talent in the unit to do that.
Natsuo, who had pursed his lips, took his words out with difficulty.
“… Karen. Is it really that pure? Is there any other reason?”
“Natsuo…?”
“You are just… That man…”
Isn’t that what you like?
But the words ended there. Natsuo couldn’t help but shut his mouth in the middle.
It’s not something to talk about in front of the commander, and he’ll feel very sorry for himself if he does this.
“···Nothing.”
Finally, Natsuo turned her head away from Karen’s gaze.
2.
It was around 10 o’clock.
As scheduled, Rien summoned her troops. The reason, of course, was to talk about the search for Elflandia. The content was not much different from what Netoru had heard first last night.
It will start in about 1 week
Even then, the members of the Holy Cavalry, which had difficulty maneuvering, were expected to remain in the city and help citizens evacuate.
And after hearing Rien’s story, Ceres was the most perplexed. It was because I didn’t have much time after a week.
Is it because of the aftermath of having a fierce battle with Death Worm and using a sexual weapon in that state? Ceres’ magical nervous system was in the middle of requiring a significant rest period.
Although Netoru has a mysterious talent,
It was doubtful whether it would be possible to recover enough to be able to maneuver the holy cavalry within a week. But even so, Ceres did not want to be left out of this mission.
Kerene. Because that sister will accompany you on this mission.
Even so, she was in the middle of a bloody fight with Netoru in the morning. However, there was no way to know what would happen if only Ceres was missing. For Ceres, at this point, it was a matter of responsibility.
That’s why Ceres stopped Netoru from walking down the aisle, pulling on the hem of his clothes.
“… Hey, aren’t you too carefree?”
“What?”
“No···. Is it because you really don’t know? If I make a mistake now, I’ll be excluded from the next mission…”
Ceres’ grip, which tugged at the hem of his clothes as he murmured at the end of his words, grew stronger. She looked up at Netoru’s face as she quietly raised her head. At that moment, the only thing she could see in her field of vision was your lips.
Regardless of my will, all kinds of things come up in my head and then slowly sink. Feelings and experiences that are now all too familiar. Ceres swallowed her saliva as she recalled her memories of kissing her with him.
“Can you cure me in a week? That···. With what you always do.”
“Well. I’m not sure about that either.”
“…You don’t know?”
“As you know, I am not normal right now.”
“···Ah.”
Ceres’ eyes widened slightly. Certainly it is. It had only been a day since Netoru had woken up. Even if he doesn’t express it verbally, he can’t say he’s in good shape.
Still, Ceres, who wondered if there was a way for him, asked Netoru with a pale complexion.
“…That, then what shall we do?”
“Hmm. I’ll have to try it out first.”
“A test? Wow?”
Ceres felt a pull in his back. Soon after, he came to his senses and a situation similar to that of the morning unfolded. Before she knew it, Ceres was in his arms.
Does this man have a habit of holding women in his arms? He did not hesitate even in front of Kerene… Of course, he didn’t hate it, but… While muttering so inwardly, Ceres looked up at him, unable to hide her bewilderment.
“Now, wait a minute… Do you want to kiss me right here?”
“However. Why?”
“Why, why… What if someone sees it!”
The place where the two of them were now was in a hallway where it was unknown when someone would appear. Whether it was a member of the unit or an outsider, it was embarrassing to show it like this.
“Don’t worry. Because you just have to check it. It will be over soon.”
“No, even if I tell you not to worry… Oops.”
It was my own too. I didn’t even allow it, but my chin was pulled. Ceres closed his eyes tightly. Before long, he felt it on the tip of his lips.
Their lips opened, their tongues intertwined, and a magic pass was connected between them.
Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten used to kissing quite a bit now. Unlike before, while feeling relaxed, Ceres could clearly feel the connection with him.
They are connected to each other and to each other. Both mind and body.
Because that’s not such a bad feeling… For now, it was time for Netoru to obey. Then he slowly removed his face and smiled bitterly.
“As expected, it seems unreasonable.”
“Swarm···? Then what?”
Without even having time to enjoy the afterglow of the kiss, Ceres broke down in tears. Then what are we going to do? Where Kerene goes, Netoru cannot be sent alone. However, since Netoru had a calm face, Ceres felt frustrated.
“What. There is one more way.”
“…Is there a way?”
Expectations flashed in Ceres’ purple eyes.
And···.
Upon hearing Netoru’s method, Ceres thought as she felt her face turn red.
Is this man serious?
