Chapter 34 – Partner Swapping
In the current situation where there were many injured and the bugs were moving unusually, it was time to add even one more hand.
Is that why? Karen couldn’t stand it.
She said that he was trying to swap with Ceres.
“… Karen. Are you really okay?”
Asuna, who was watching the situation by her side, spoke to her.
“Wouldn’t it be difficult if the best coupling wavelength was disturbed by swapping? It won’t take long for your body to recover anyway.”
“… “
Was Asuna also thinking the same thing? Karen smiled bitterly.
As Asuna said. Of course, it’s still the worst coupling compatibility compared to other pilots, but it’s true that the coupling wavelength is much better than before.
It was little by little in every battle, but gradually the wavelengths of each other’s coupling were matching.
… So I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t uncomfortable with this situation.
What should I say? Should I say that it feels like all the hard work I’ve built up so far is going to go to waste?
The match rate is still low, but here she suddenly swaps…
‘… What the hell is that guy thinking?’
I can’t either. I can’t stand it. Karen felt annoyed. What does she do when she goes through that hardship and matches her coupling wavelength. That insensitive guy doesn’t really cooperate.
Besides, that opponent was Ceres. She can’t help but notice that Ceres is on guard if he notices Toru. Still, can you suggest swapping like that?
No, more honestly, can’t you talk to me first before deciding to swap?
… Although there was such dissatisfaction inside, Karen smiled and said.
“… To be honest, I’m most worried about Ceres. Netoru, that guy’s control is so violent. It’s to the point where I’m the only one who comes out goofing around every time.”
“… Ok Yes, not violent.”
Asuna nodded her head in agreement.
Rien and Asuna deliberately didn’t propose swapping with Netoru for a reason.
The coupling wavelength is also a problem, but to be honest, even among her troops, unless it’s Karen, she’s incapable of dealing with Netoru.
If there is a big difference in skill level, it will only backfire. The other members of the unit were still too inexperienced to deal with Netoru.
As soon as I thought about it,
‘… Ceres.’
Karen made a complicated expression when she saw Ceres’ genital disease, which reminded her of a stylish knight.
Until now, she thought that the only one who could deal with Netoru was herself in the unit, but
But is that really the right decision?
Karen knows it too. No, she can’t know.
That Netoru’s skills are far superior to Karen’s. And that he is not satisfied with himself. The immature thing was that Karen hadn’t changed either.
In fact, isn’t it difficult to follow where he leads? Karen was the only one suffering from fatigue after each battle. Netoru hadn’t shown a single tough tee so far.
As a coupling partner, a one-sided relationship is not good.
It should be parallel rather than vertical. If you can’t rely on each other, the relationship will eventually crumble.
In that respect, in terms of purely ability, Ceres may actually be the most suitable partner for Netoru.
Even though Ceres was expelled from the Knights, he still retains his skills. In terms of a female pilot’s abilities, she’s at least far better than the institute-educated Karen.
But even so, is Ceres different?
It was also hard to be sure.
It is kept secret from the members of the unit, but some members, including Karen and Asuna, know about it. That Ceres has one fatal problem.
‘… Hatred of men.’
She usually has a gentle and pliable personality, but what was hidden inside was clearly a strong dislike for men. That’s why he avoids coupling even with Chandler, whom he has known for a long time.
When I think of Ceres’ personality, I can’t help but worry. Besides, Netoru has such a personality… No matter how you think about it, the two are very incompatible in nature.
“Hey, hold on! Lin! Wait! Why don’t you leave me alone and go first!”
At that time, a noisy voice awakened Karen’s thoughts.
After coming to her senses, she looked around her and soon found Rin and Ran busy.
The two were excluded from swapping. It was because of the special coupling relationship.
But the fact that she rushed here… ?
Karen asked Rin, who was riding the Holy Trooper.
“Rin, are you sure it’s a sortie?”
“Huh? Well, yes!”
Rin, who boarded the genital cavalry with a flirtatious body, replied, and when Ran entered, she immediately closed her cockpit. And she didn’t wait long before Ran’s genitalia started to move, her eyes flashing.
Karen, who was watching Ran’s holy cavalry, looked at Ceres’ holy cavalry again.
“… “
I expected it, but did the coupling succeed? The holy cavalry of Ceres, who had been standing still for a while, also began to move.
Karen watched her with her concerned eyes.
2.
Thanks to being in the middle of the coupling at the right time, Netoru immediately sortieed with Ceres’ Holy Cavalry.
—Point 395 is the 1st Platoon, Point 406 is the 2nd Platoon. Finally, point 452 will be left to the 3rd Platoon.
As the strength of the unit decreased, the platoon was reorganized. Of course, the 5th platoon was also disbanded and absorbed into other units.
‘… Well, is the job of taking care of the children over?’
Even though I’m still in the same platoon as Pera and Kyokyo, I feel comfortable not having to deal with noisy kids alone.
How bothered have you been all this time?
… It was the moment I thought.
─What! Why are you, Yellowy, riding Ceres’ sister’s sexual cavalry?
The voice of a girl younger than the children of the 5th platoon was connected to the voice channel. Is this voice also Rin?
Still a noisy kid No matter how much I thought about it, I wondered if that guy was the same age as Karen.
—Yellow, did you really swap? With Ceres sister?
“Yeah, can’t you see?”
—… Nonsense? How? Can’t your sister do that? Not with anyone else, why with you?
Is it that surprising? Rin’s voice was full of surprise. Even after that, she was Rin who said strange things many times, but Ran stopped it.
─Lin. Let’s talk about swapping later and focus on the strategy.
─Ha, but! Ugh… Yes, that should be it
As Rin faded away, Ran continued.
—Sister Ceres. What about the position Perah and Kyokyo have joined as new members. Do you have any thoughts?
The platoon leader of the 2nd platoon was Ceres. It was for this reason that Rien busily asked the two people who were swapping about the result of the coupling. If the results were not good, a new platoon commander had to be appointed.
—… Sister? Can you hear me?
When Ceres doesn’t answer, Ran asks again. But Ceres was still silent as if he hadn’t heard.
Just sit quietly in the cockpit with your mouth shut.
Why the hell does this woman keep doing this?
From earlier, Ceres had been moving the genital cavalry with her bewildered face, accepting only four toru’s mana. She was like a doll in the form of a soulless person.
Seeing Ceres’ behavior, Netoru closed all the voice channels that were connected to him and narrowed his brows.
“Ceres, calm down. What is the platoon commander doing?”
“… “
There is no answer.
Are you ignoring it? Or are you really not listening?
I don’t know anything else, but I didn’t want to see someone wandering during the battle, so without hesitation, I grabbed Ceres’ control rod and raised it.
“Kyaaah!?”
Then Ceres, whose backbone was bent to such a degree that his huge chest was shaken by the recoil, finally came to his senses. Ceres, who came to his senses with a scream, slowly looked back.
“Go, suddenly… Why?”
Surprised purple eyes trembled. Those were the eyes of a frightened woman who seemed to be watching her.
Netoru’s eyes narrowed while staring at Ceres, who was trembling in fear, and her head bent crookedly.
“Why? Ceres. Are you asking because you really don’t know?”
“That, that…”
Ceres averted his gaze and lowered his eyes to the floor. Then he started whimpering again.
“… “
Thanks to this, Netoru was taken aback.
Why the hell is this woman doing this all of a sudden? It’s better if you’re squeamish like before.
“Tsk.”
“… Ss”
She just lightly clicked her tongue, but Ceres, as if surprised by the sound, shuddered and turned her head to look at her again. Netoru didn’t say anything about her actions.
“Eww… Ugh!”
She instead tightened her control lever and increased her output. Then, Ceres let out a shallow moan and looked at her dissatisfiedly, but when their eyes met again, she naturally averted her gaze.
If it was Karen, she would have said the same thing.
Ceres, why is this woman so downcast?
Did I do something so cruel?
Netoru reflected on what had just happened to her. It was definitely Ceres who first challenged her during the coupling.
She, of course, she overdoes it a bit, but that’s not a reason for people to break this much.
‘… I can’t fight properly with this.’
She has a lot to say, but soon gets into battle. That’s why Netoru sighed and said.
“Ceres. I am in command of the platoon. Are you okay?”
Ceres nodded her head helplessly.
But she still has red eyes around her eyes.
At this point, she’s starting to get scared.
If you keep crying like that and return to the base… It will never end with small things.
No matter how much Netoru, the problem is bound to become serious. She doesn’t, but isn’t she a good girl with the troops? She can’t even know how Lien will behave.
Anyway, this was an army. The commander’s authority is strong.
Netoru sighed and added a word.
“… Ceres. How long are you going to cry?”
“I didn’t cry. This is just…”
Hide what to hide
Netoru sighed again.
It was the moment I missed Karen.
