Chief Karen called for Ellie.
Ellie, who had been writing a report, quickly approached the chief upon hearing the summons and politely clasped her hands together.
“Yes, Chief. What did you call me for?”
“You need to go on a dispatch.”
“A dispatch, you say?”
“Yes. Brutus sent a dispatch request. It seems something happened there.”
Due to the nature of the Knights, who were responsible for the entire district, dispatches were frequent. Especially for the understaffed and unpopular Intelligence Division, turns came quickly, resulting in more frequent dispatches for each individual.
Dispatches were usually carried out in pairs. So, Ellie politely asked who her partner would be. Karen pondered briefly, then jerked her chin towards someone in the office beyond her desk, stating a name.
“Take Karl. He needs to gain some dispatch experience.”
…Ah…!
Her expectation of going with Dana was completely off the mark. Chief Karen’s choice of Karl was likely based on the calculation that since he was a strong candidate to become a full-fledged knight, it would be good for him to start gaining experience.
Of course, Ellie, the busty one, agreed with the chief’s thinking, but the somewhat delicate relationship between the two was the problem, if there was one.
After that incident, Karl had sought out Ellie once more. Naturally, it wasn’t for a friendly check-in between close colleagues, but rather to touch her breasts. Since she had made a promise and felt guilty, Ellie couldn’t help but allow it this time as well.
…And after that, he hadn’t visited her.
Honestly, could it not be embarrassing for a virgin to bare her ample bosom for a man to touch?
Moreover, they were colleagues. A senior, who should command respect, had allowed a junior to touch her breasts, making the situation rather awkward.
The only consolation was the very high possibility that he was not just a junior, but something like a secret agent of the Empire…. If that were true, she could easily overlook something like having her breasts touched.
Ellie believed Karl’s behavior was all planned. She couldn’t understand why someone so strong would use such frivolous actions and speech. It had to be a deliberate act to lull his target into a false sense of security. In that case, Ellie had no choice but to play along.
Fortunately, he was very handsome. So, even when she offered her breasts for him to touch, she could rationalize it as helping him, thus feeling little resistance. …In fact, she wondered if his handsomeness wasn’t a countermeasure for a potential honey trap.
Honestly, if he set his mind to seducing someone, which woman could resist?
Ellie acknowledged the chief’s order and slowly approached Karl, wearing her usual friendly smile.
“Jarl? Can we talk for a moment?”
“Ah, yes. Of course, Senior.”
Karl was respectful inside the office, as befitted a junior. Though he changed drastically outside, it was good that he maintained the necessary boundaries.
“It seems the two of us will be going on a dispatch together.”
“Ah…, is that so?”
“Yes, so you can gain some experience. It’s nothing too difficult. It’s similar to the work we do here, just in a different location.”
“I understand. I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Good. We’ll probably be leaving today, so go home now and prepare for the dispatch.”
“Yes, Senior.”
The pink-haired girl, who had been eavesdropping at the next desk, craned her neck towards Karl as soon as Ellie left, excitedly saying, “You’re going on a dispatch.”
“The chief must think highly of you. That’s great, right?”
“Yes, I’m fortunate.”
“I’ll give you a joining gift when you officially join!”
“No, it’s alright. You don’t have to go to such trouble….”
“No, it’s tradition. It’s customary, so don’t feel burdened.”
“…Thank you.”
Hee hee. The pink-haired girl revealed her pearly white teeth and smiled innocently. She was thrilled at the thought of her handsome junior colleague officially joining. …Naturally, her pink-colored imagination was taking flight.
A scene of her and Karl becoming lovers and having a sweet, lovely relationship. And the kiss with a lover she had always envied…, and, and…, even that hot night!
Oh my, I don’t know!
Dana slumped onto her desk, happily swinging her legs back and forth as they dangled from her chair. …Of course, she was still completely unaware that the wings attached to her imagination were Icarus’ wings, destined to melt and disappear as they neared the sun.
Anyway.
Karl tidied his desk, stood up, and bid farewell to the chief and his seniors.
The meticulous chief, never out of order.
The braggart Lewis, always wearing a dissatisfied expression.
The somewhat scatterbrained, pink-haired Dana.
Leaving them behind, Carl exited the office and headed straight for his quarters. While packing, he debated whether or not to bring his simulation access device.
It had been three days since he escaped the room where one couldn’t leave without having sex. Alisa hadn’t shown her face since then. Karl thought that woman would show up the very next day with her shameless face, asking for training, but it seemed the virgin-breaking ceremony had been quite a shock.
…It wasn’t even real life. To sulk over losing her virginity in a simulation…
Of course, Karl, who had nothing to lose, didn’t care whether this sulky girl came or not. She would definitely show up later, asking for training. Now that she had tasted growth, a girl desperate to become a knight couldn’t possibly resist that temptation. In the end, she would choose knighthood over her virginity.
Should I make this bitch realize my value?
So, Karl decided against bringing the device. She needed to feel some heat in her ass to come to her senses.
After packing, Karl headed straight for the underground parking lot. As he waited in the waiting room, an unexpected figure appeared, carrying a bag.
…Huh…?
The other person also stopped abruptly upon seeing Karl in the waiting room. Then, she cautiously walked in.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Miss Irina? Where are you off to in such a hurry?”
Karl spoke with a casual smirk, using a line that even a back-alley thug would be ashamed to utter. Of course, the blonde wasn’t in dick-service mode now, so she was as haughty as ever.
“It’s none of your business where I’m going.”
“Ouch, I’m hurt. Is that all our relationship amounts to?”
“Our relationship? Someone might misunderstand.”
“It is a relationship. You sucked my dick so deliciously…oop.”
As soon as he mentioned dick-sucking, Irina recoiled in horror, stood on tiptoe, and covered his mouth with her hand. She quickly glanced around to see if anyone had heard, then glared at him with sharp eyes.
“Are you crazy?! Say that again outside and I won’t let you get away with it!”
“Alright, alright. …Geez, so shy.”
“I’m not shy, you’re just insane!”
No matter how fiercely Irina glared, Karl just grinned mischievously, completely unaffected. She sighed, wondering what to do with this incorrigible bastard.
…If only he were a little more serious and kind here, he’d be a decent guy.
Disregarding his family background, he had a handsome face, good skills, a big dick…everything was fine, except for his personality. It was frustrating because it made her lose any fondness she developed for him.
“But why are you really here, my pretty one?”
“…I’m going on a dispatch, why? Are you jealous?”
A trainee going on a dispatch meant they were close to officially joining, so it was something for Irina to be proud of. After all, she was the most promising among the current Escort Division trainees.
Irina felt uneasy at the way Karl’s eyes and mouth curved into a wide smile at the mention of the dispatch. This guy would never congratulate her sincerely…
“Brutus, by any chance?”
The blonde’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing the name. How did this guy know that name?
“How… how do you know that…?”
Karl laughed heartily and slapped Irina on the back.
“Wow, what a coincidence! I’m going there too!”
This son of a bitch.
Irina realized her mistake. …It was honestly unbelievable that they met here at this time by chance.
She couldn’t shake off her unease. She had a feeling that going with this guy would lead to unforeseen problems…. No, this guy was the type to create problems out of thin air. The type to escalate things and make them troublesome. Yet, he was also competent….
As the blonde pondered how to handle this guy, someone else strode into the waiting room. It was a senior from the Escort Division.
“Ah, Senior, you’re here.”
Unlike her attitude towards Karl, Irina greeted her senior respectfully and politely. The man, who looked like a textbook knight, acknowledged her greeting with a slight raise of his hand.
Karl, of course, couldn’t just stand there, so he gave a slight nod.
“Nice to meet you, Senior. I am Karl Zeile of the Intelligence Division.”
“Ah, you’re Karl. Nice to meet you. I’m Gren Morcos of the Escort Division.”
Gren extended his hand for a handshake. The two men shook hands briefly, a couple of times, before releasing.
And at the moment they released their hands, busty Ellie appeared. She smiled brightly, like a flower blooming, and hugged Gren lightly.
“Wow, nice to see you. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
“It has. Even though we’re in the same Knights order, it’s hard to see each other.”
They seemed to be close, perhaps from the same graduating class.
“I never thought we’d be going on a dispatch together. That’s great.”
“Yeah, it’s much more comfortable going with someone you know.”
After the blonde Irina also greeted Ellie, the four of them boarded the vehicle. The two seniors sat in the front, and the two juniors in the back.
The vehicle ascended to the surface, passed through the main gate, and headed straight for the spaceship terminal. Soon arriving at the terminal, the four gathered their luggage and boarded the transport ship.
This time, the pairs were Escort Division and Intelligence Division. Once everyone had fastened their seatbelts, the transport ship lifted off with a whoosh and headed towards space.
Karl gazed at the pitch-black scenery outside the window, lost in thought.
Brutus… what kind of place was it?
While he was lost in thought, the spaceship made a brief stop at the space station before venturing into the vast expanse of space.
Preheating its engine for the spatial jump, it soon disappeared into a streak of light, as if sucked into a black hole.
…And a long time later, the transport ship entered Brutus’s territory.
