I Became the Golden Sun in the Cartoon 16

Chapter 16 – Observation Tower

One.

───Quaaaaang!

The distance was about 500. The roar of shells exploded loudly and flew with power in the air.
The 1st platoon Chandler was in was fighting.
Did someone get hit? It was the time when I was waiting for support at any time.

─Point 195, clear!

Chandler’s cool voice signaled the end of the battle. At that sound, Netoru briefly let go of the control stick he was holding and leaned back on the cockpit.

After relaxing and closing his eyes for a moment, his whole body felt relaxed.
It’s probably proof that you’re tired.
It wasn’t a dangerous battle, but the bugs were coming in and out every day for the past few days, and Netoru couldn’t help but feel tired.

Thanks to that, the number of couples with Karen was already approaching double digits.

I’d rather come all at once. I even inadvertently thought of it. It was easier for Netoru to deal with it all at once rather than repeating the annoying sorties every day.

‘Is it like a strategy?’

At this point, this is a reasonable conclusion.
Of course, this is only possible if the bugs have commander-level intelligence, but… To Netoru’s knowledge, at least so far, no entity has mastered strategy tactics.

But don’t know if it is.
Despite constant battles over the past few years, humans haven’t figured out much about what kind of ecology the bugs have and how they think.
Bugs were still unknown.

Besides, no matter how much Netoru knows the future at a glance, the information he knows is extremely limited.

So, the reality was that he had no choice but to rely on his own skills rather than future knowledge. When an unknown enemy appeared, he had to believe in his own skills and break through.

“Whoa… Is this the end of today?”

When the battle was over, Karen, too, seemed to have relaxed, and stretched herself up in her cockpit.

Her spine curved gently as her clasped hands reached for the ceiling of the cockpit. After tossing and turning her body a few times, Karen connected the voice channel with the members of her 5th Platoon, and she said.

“Everyone has suffered.”
─Yes! Thank you for your hard work!

Hearing the voices of his platoon members, Netoru laughed. They are chick-like guys. I guess I’m used to it now, but I still feel uncomfortable with the young voices.

Maybe it’s because I don’t believe in myself.
To Netoru, the 5th platoon was actually more like a lump of luggage than colleagues.

As an example, I don’t know if the kids know about it, but Netoru was taking care of his platoon members throughout the battle.
Just like today’s battle.
No matter how risky a guy named Kanzaki fought, I wondered if he had learned anything from the institution.

I heard that fortresses teach only the basics and send them to the battlefield,
After confirming the truth, she can only sigh.

‘Has the supply and demand of pilots reached a limit?’

The foundations of the country were already collapsing. Maybe the roots have already rotted. At least it wasn’t so serious when Netoru first opened his eyes in this world.

Oh my god. It’s a group with more kids than adults.

In fact, in that respect, Unit 393 in Area 39 was a fresh place for Netoru in many ways.

Should I say that this is the first unit with so many minors? At first, I wondered how a unit like this could exist as I watched teenagers walking around calmly.

All of the troops Netoru had been through so far were composed of adult men and women. Of course, the place he was in was also a key area that was evaluated as an important base.

So naturally, elite pilots had no choice but to form a unit, and of course, the elites were all adults with rich combat experience. No matter how talented you are, if you are young, you lack experience.

And look at this differently.

It should be said that Area 39, which is composed of members with a low average age, is practically abandoned.

Let’s get to the idea there.

‘… It’s my 19th birthday soon.’

As if he had discovered something new, Netoru looked at Karen who was on top of the cockpit.

He said he was 19 when we first met, so of course we assumed he was an adult.
But he was a minor who hadn’t passed his birthday yet.

Pilots under the age of 19 who have not passed their birthday are prohibited from having sex. Was it to form a normal ‘coupling wave’ during adolescence?

“Karen.”
“Why?”

When her name was called, Karen in her cockpit looked behind her. Her dark black hair flowed down the side of her shoulders, and a question came into her dark eyes. She also has a very young face.

However, she was also the one who survived quite a long time in this messed up unit.

“I heard you’ll be an adult soon.”
“… What, all of a sudden.”

Could it be because of the random words? Karen looked behind her and furrowed her eyebrows. Seeing Karen like that, Tohru just smiled at her and shrugged her shoulders.

“Congratulations anyway.”
“Isn’t it my birthday yet?”

Saying that, Karen turned her head away and returned to her position in the cockpit. Netoru smiled and watched Karen’s childish back.

It was when about a minute had passed.
A communication came from Commander Rien.

─Can both of you continue the mission as scheduled?
“Yes. It’s possible.”

Karen answered Rien’s question. Apparently, I was in good shape today.

─I see. I’ll link the data right now. Would you like to check it out?
“Yes.”

Inside the Holy Trooper, there was a system interface built with magic for the pilot,
Data such as terrain structure and enemy positions had to be linked directly by the commander.

For this, the commander collects and processes data from a place commonly called 〈 Aegis 〉… Anyway,

‘Is this it?’

After doing a few manipulations, a screen with terrain information recorded appeared in the air. A yellow light that was supposed to be the target point was shining on the screen.

“Commander. Is the yellow light an observation tower?”
─Yes. You’re right.

The Observation Tower was an artifact and facility that helped observe the movements of bugs.

Observation towers are installed at certain distances throughout the observation area in charge of Unit 393, and one of them has lost its signal.

So, the mission to continue from now on was to go check the condition of the observation tower.

Once all the bugs are gone in the observation area…

In the end, this mission was more of a light picnic.

2.

All observation towers are at the edge of Area-39. It was a tower to observe bugs, so it was natural.

Anyway, because of the location of the tower, there is a lot of distance to move. Thanks to this, this mission could be said to be trivial but quite annoying.

No matter which army you went to, it was usual for those with less time to take on troublesome and trivial tasks like this.
In that respect, the 5th Platoon, to which Netoru belonged, was like that.

He was the youngest in the group,

Members with little experience.

Thanks to that, the 5th Platoon sortied out in an atmosphere where they wanted to do coupling training.
And Netoru was in charge and was dragged out.

‘… It’s annoying.’

The sun is strong. Although there is no situation where you will die from the heat because you are burning inside the holy cavalry, it is still so hot that you feel breathless when you see the blazing earth.

Netoru thought while moving the holy cavalry.
Was it when I was doing this?
If it was a different unit, I would never have thought of it. I’ll send another guy out.

However, Karen, his coupling partner, asked him to go, so Netoru was forced to leave.

Besides, in the battle that took place today, all the 5th platoon did was to provide adequate assistance…
It was natural for the platoon with the least loss of physical strength to move in preparation for the unexpected.

“Netoru, you know what?
“What?”

While moving endlessly towards the target point.
Rarely was Karen the first to speak out in the lukewarm silence.

“I am in an unusually good physical condition today.”
“Yeah, it seemed like that.”

So, others must have accepted this troublesome mission when they returned to the unit.
The girl who struggled every time she went out.
Normally, I would have had no choice but to return to the unit.

“… Did the coupling technique work surprisingly well?
“Well.”

Probably not. Of course, Karen’s efforts must have had their share.

But Karen’s good condition today was purely because of Netoru’s hard work.
I don’t know about Karen, but today Netoru fought the bugs with lower power than usual.

She was fighting the bugs with a penalty like sandbags attached to her wrists, in effect. But she, Karen, doesn’t know that, so she must be so carefree.

And to put this differently, it means that even with a lower power than usual, Netoru can fight proficiently without being pushed by the bugs.

To that extent, it was said that Netoru was getting used to handling Karen’s body.

Ultimately, the reason he was making this effort was to take care of Karen’s body.
A small battle has been going on for several days.
So Netoru had no choice but to take care of Karen’s condition.

It’s troublesome when suddenly Karen is knocked over and the genital cavalry is incapacitated, like when she did her first coupling in the middle of a fight.

“… Then, is it okay if I gradually increase the output?”

But Karen, unaware of Netoru’s efforts, muttered that to herself with a determined face.

Netoru thought of telling the reality later, and he first confirmed his current location.

Let’s look at the map. To see if it’s worth moving hard, the target point is right in front of you.

‘I’ll be arriving soon.’

In this way, a total of five holy cavalrymen, including Netoru, were heading towards the target.

At the forefront was Karen’s holy cavalry with a pure white body, and behind it, various holy cavalry with different shapes slowly followed.

There is no tension in the movement.
The atmosphere was like a picnic, literally.

Perhaps because of that, there was light chatter on the connected voice channel.
I wonder if the tension was too relaxed, but Netoru didn’t bother to stop it. He was fun to listen to.

——Kanzaki. Karen, what are you preparing for her birthday?
─Well. Karen likes teddy bears. She says that even these days she cuddles and sleeps… If I get a chance, should I ask the Commander for permission and go downtown?
-Oh… Isn’t that bad?

It was the conversation between Pera and Kanzaki, members of the 5th platoon.
In the middle, their coupling partners, Kyokyo and Jane, also intervened in the conversation.

“… “

Of course, Karen was also listening to the story.
While listening to the story, Netoru spat out an honest thought.

“Karen, loved by her men.”
“… Noisy.”

Karen shook her red-hot face. It was as if he couldn’t lift his face because he was embarrassed.
