◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
This concludes the graduation ceremony.
A roar of “Woo-hoo!” erupted, accompanied by thunderous applause. The cadets couldn’t contain their joy at the thought of finally escaping this wretched, crappy training camp.
The cadets’ relatives rushed forward to congratulate them on their graduation, offering bouquets of flowers and warm embraces.
Alisa, who finished second, was also greeted by her father, a chief master sergeant in the transportation unit, holding a bouquet. He removed his military cap and approached his proud daughter, pulling her into a tight hug.
“Well done,” he said.
“Thank you, Father.”
They exchanged bright smiles and headed towards their prearranged seats.
Seated facing each other at a table laden with delicious food, the father and daughter enjoyed a pleasant meal together, their conversation flowing easily.
As they savored coffee and dessert, Alisa finally broached the subject she’d been eager to share.
“Father, you’ll be surprised to know who I met.”
“Oh? Who?”
After a brief pause, Alisa proudly revealed the person’s identity.
“Knight Ellis of the Solar Knights—!”
“Ah, the person you told me about before?”
“Yes! I even had a private meeting with her—!”
Her father knew the Solar Knights were visiting, but the private meeting was news to him. Naturally, he was surprised that she had a personal audience with such an important figure.
“A private meeting? How?”
Alisa suddenly realized her mistake. How could she explain that she’d earned the meeting by sucking that lewd bastard’s dick—!
“Um, there was a chance encounter. I was really lucky.”
“Really? Wow, our Alisa must have been thrilled.”
“Yes, truly. Ah—!”
She pulled out Ellis’ business card, which she treasured, and showed it to her father.
“Look at this. I even got her business card—!”
Upon seeing the gleaming gold card, her father immediately recognized its immense value. After all, years in the transportation unit, meeting all sorts of people, had sharpened his eye for such things.
“You received this?”
“Yes.”
“…For no reason? To you?”
“Not particularly….”
“Is that so?”
Alisa roughly understood why her father had asked. It meant the card held even greater significance than she’d thought. In short, there had to be a reason for giving such a thing away.
…Could it be related to that bastard, Karl? Is that why she gave it to me?
She hadn’t given it much thought until now, but thinking about it again, it was certainly strange.
“Keep it safe. Don’t show it to just anyone.”
“Yes, Father.”
They concluded their discussion about the Solar Knights and moved on to other topics.
The two enjoyed a pleasant time, searching for information about the Curble Knighthood where Alisa was headed and chatting excitedly. Before they knew it, it was almost time to leave.
Three hours had passed surprisingly quickly. It seemed like they had just had lunch together and chatted for a bit.
“Well, wherever you are, whatever you do, give it your best. You can do it, Alisa.”
“Yes, don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”
They shared a final, strong embrace before parting ways. As soon as she said goodbye to her father, Alisa returned to the dormitory to collect her belongings. Dressed impeccably in her white uniform, she looked every bit the impressive soldier.
The studious squad leader went to the parade ground with her squad members and drill instructor, whom she had spent the last six months with, exchanging warm farewells as each person boarded their transport.
“See you again soon! Definitely keep in touch—!”
Finally, Alisa, the last one remaining, climbed into a small transport vehicle. And by chance, Karl was already inside. They were the only two passengers.
…What rotten luck.
Alisa felt a strange mix of emotions, realizing she was still entangled with him even on her last day at the training camp.
“Wow, what a coincidence. We’re going the same way?”
“…Indeed. A coincidence.”
She said nothing more and turned her gaze sharply towards the window.
The vehicle crunched over the sandy ground before reaching the smooth paved road and accelerating smoothly with a low hum.
Ah—.
As she watched the training camp recede into the distance, a wave of emotion washed over her.
Karl stared at Alisa for a long time, a sly smile plastered on his face, before quietly speaking again.
“I heard you made it into the Knights. Congratulations. …But, I was a little disappointed you didn’t show up at our meeting spot after that.”
“Was there any real need to go? It was already over.”
“Yeah, well, there wasn’t any real need to go. Still, you know, we spent some time together…”
At the mention of their time together, she was suddenly, inexplicably reminded of the taste of his semen. Simultaneously, a wicked thought crossed her mind: If I suck his dick again, could I perhaps see him again?
What am I even thinking? Get a grip, Alisa!
She turned her gaze back to the window, cutting off the conversation. Then, suddenly, she found herself curious about the relationship between this guy and Sir Ellis. It was pure curiosity.
“…Hey. I have a question.”
“Just like that?”
Seeing Alisa glare at him, Karl let out a loud laugh and waved his hand dismissively.
“Just kidding, just kidding. Hey, why so sensitive?”
“…What’s your relationship with her?”
“Her?”
“Knight Ellis.”
Hearing the name Ellis, Karl let out a small, “Ahh,” and chuckled softly. Honestly, Alisa was incredibly curious. What kind of relationship did they have for her to give him her business card?!
“We just know each other. Nothing special.”
“…That’s it?”
“What else did you think? That we were sex partners? Or lovers? …Could it be… jealousy?”
“Seriously? Jealousy? I’m just curious how someone as great as her is associated with someone like you.”
At the mention of jealousy, Alisa’s voice rose in anger. Karl’s smile grew even slyer.
Just as I thought!
Alisa fumed, turning her head away with a huff. They didn’t exchange another word until they arrived at the transport station.
Once again, they disembarked from the transport vehicle and boarded the same transport ship. Even at that point, Alisa couldn’t imagine being in the same Knights order as Karl. She simply assumed they were going in the same direction.
“- Taking off. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.”
The countdown ended, and the transport ship began to ascend. As the ground receded, the shit-colored sky drew closer. The transport ship pierced through the thick clouds and soon entered space, leaving the atmosphere behind.
Ah…
Space, always so beautiful. And so, the prison planet, Hel-Lugal, began to shrink in Alisa’s view.
The transport ship made a brief stop at a space station before departing again. Even then, Karl remained motionless, his belt fastened. From there, Alisa started to sense something strange, but still didn’t suspect they were in the same Knights order.
“- Preparing for spatial jump. 30, 29, 28…”
The transport ship’s engines began to warm up for the spatial jump. Alisa felt a powerful thrust, as if being pulled backward. She regulated her breathing as instructed in the manual.
“- …3, 2, 1.”
The countdown finished, and the transport ship contracted spacetime.
As it wasn’t a very large transport ship, it made several stops at temporary stations along the way to replenish energy. They took a break midway and had dinner.
Even then, Alisa didn’t say a word to Karl. She was still annoyed about the jealousy comment. Petty, perhaps.
After a long 6-hour spatial jump, the transport ship finally arrived at Section 865. Alisa, experiencing this for the first time, immediately looked out the window before even stretching her stiff body.
Ah…
A beautiful blue planet came into view. It was completely different from the shit-colored Hel-Lugal. Of course, this was Karl’s first time here as well.
The blue planet, Arcmancina.
A smile of anticipation hung on Alisa’s lips. She stretched her stiff neck and stared at Karl, who was sitting opposite her.
“This is my stop. Time to part ways.”
“Oh, really? That’s a shame.”
“…Well, you know, we helped each other out. Let’s part on good terms.”
Karl just grinned without saying anything. …Seeing him again like this, he really was devilishly handsome. She could almost understand why her squadmates were always talking about wanting to suck his dick.
Well, sucking a handsome guy’s dick once is a life experience, I guess…
Now that it was time to leave, Alisa felt herself becoming infinitely magnanimous. Well, all’s well that ends well!
Having received landing permission from the planetary headquarters, the transport ship entered the planet’s atmosphere. Once again, a powerful force impacted their bodies.
Alisa watched in awe as the sky changed to a kaleidoscope of colors before settling into a soft emerald green. It was an incredibly beautiful color compared to the shit-colored sky of Hel-Lugal.
The transport ship soon landed at the ground station. Alisa expertly unbuckled her belt, stood up, and stretched her stiff body.
…But strangely, Karl was also unbuckling his belt.
“What? …Where are you going?”
“Me? I’m here too.”
……Huh……?
For a moment, Alisa felt her vision go white.
Then the transport ship doors hissed open, and a petty officer gestured for them to hurry up and get out.
“Alisa Kabri, Karl Zeile. Are you the ones?”
“Yes, we are.”
“Get in the vehicle.”
Huh? What? Why? Why is he getting off with me, and why are we riding together? Was he a Knight too? What?
She was bewildered until she got into the transport vehicle.
“You’re a Curble Knight, too?”
…No way.
Karl, sitting across from her, grinned.
“I’m a Curble Knight too. Wow, what a fucking coincidence, right?”
…She knew she was completely fucked.
