With the charismatic intelligence squad leader gone, and the gentle Rowner temporarily filling the leadership role, it was the boastful, cheesy Louis Jin who truly thrived. The blond man, who already believed the intelligence squad’s discipline was far too lax compared to the Escort or Combat squads, seemed intent on using this opportunity to keep Dana and Karl tightly under his thumb.
“This is an emergency, an emergency. Even Arcman City is under martial law, understand? We’re practically at war. That’s why you all need to be even more alert. When a senior gives you an order, move quickly! Got it?”
“Yes, sir!”
Pink-haired Dana glanced sideways at the blond man growling with a fierce expression, wondering, Why is he acting like this today? Of course, Karl, seeing right through him, wasn’t impressed.
Even Rowner, who usually acted as a shield, seemed preoccupied with the duties of his newfound leadership role, running around busily. Thanks to this, Louis’s nagging was relentless.
Finally, Karl, freed from Louis’s irritating harassment during break time, summoned Louis’s younger sister in retaliation.
Irina, having slipped away from the seniors’ watchful eyes to reach Karl’s quarters, stepped inside and asked, slightly frowning, what the matter was.
“There are too many eyes here. We should avoid meeting like this.”
“I’d prefer that too, but do you know how much your damn brother has been on my nerves today? Huh?”
Kal strode towards Irina, who was standing by the door. The soft scent of her skin filled his nostrils.
“…My brother did that?”
“Yes, he did. Damn it, I almost punched him right there. …I held back because of you, you know?”
“That’s unavoidable. You have to endure it to some extent. …It’s not just you. I’m struggling too. I’ve been running around after the seniors, and I only just got a break.”
“He insulted me. He said there are plenty of guys like me in the universe, and the Kimu squad would function perfectly fine without me…”
Ugh—that was a bit harsh.
…My brother isn’t the type to say things like that….
It seemed Karl had really gotten under Louis’s skin.
“I almost told him about our relationship.”
—!
“No—! Are you crazy? Absolutely not. …I’m already stressed out enough because of Alisa…!”
“Then control your brother.”
Saying so, Karl took another step towards Irina, wrapping his arms around her waist and sucking on the white nape of her neck.
“Mmh…, don’t do that here.”
Given the circumstances, even with Irina being the ace of the Guard squad, caution was necessary.
“Then how am I supposed to relieve the stress your brother caused me?”
“…What choice do you have? Just endure it. That much is what a knight should be able to do—!”
“Then take out your breasts. I’ll suck on them at least.”
Irina gave him a disapproving look, wondering why he was acting so childish today, of all days—their first day of deployment!
Still, knowing his stubbornness, she resignedly unbuttoned her top and lifted her bra.
“Just suck on them a little…. I can’t be away for too long.”
Kal chuckled lecherously, kneading Irina’s breasts firmly with both hands.
“Mmh. Don’t act like a child, I said…. Don’t just knead them, mmh…”
“Say it.”
“…What?”
“You know what. Don’t play innocent.”
Irina’s eyes sharpened.
“Let’s just keep it moderate, okay? What are we even doing right now?”
“Hurry.”
Karl pinched and twisted both her nipples between his thumb and index finger, making Irina rise up on her toes before coming back down with a whimper. Finally, unable to resist his persistence, she gave in.
“Please… suck on my breasts…. Happy?”
“You always make me say it twice, don’t you, Irina? You could just do it when I ask.”
Irina felt the urge to say, It’s you, not my brother, who’s acting like a drill sergeant—, but the thrilling sensation of him biting her right nipple made a moan escape her lips instead of words.
“Hngh, uhngh, hngh…”
She pressed her back against the door and lifted her heels. Standing like a ballerina with her thighs together, her hands flailed, unsure where to place them. Finally, she wrapped them around his neck.
“Ahngh, uhngh, hngh…”
The way his tongue played with her erect nipples was truly exceptional. He grasped her soft breast tightly, making the nipple protrude like a rocket, then he sucked, nibbled, and licked it. He particularly enjoyed teasing each tiny bump on her areola with the tip of his tongue. The taste of her breasts was also delightful.
Before pulling away, he bit down on her breast, leaving a clear teeth mark. As he released her, her breast bore the mark of his teeth and the reddened imprint of his sucking.
“Should I tell your brother how amazing Irina’s breasts taste?”
“…I know you won’t.”
“I’m a man of my word.”
He scoffed and began to fondle her other breast. Weakened by the physical pleasure, she felt a tingling sensation in her groin. His daily breast play had made her body much more sensitive.
After savoring both sweet breasts, Karl reluctantly pulled back. What else could he do? Irina was insistent on leaving.
“But are there no advances? You know?”
“Advances? What do you mean?”
“Sucking my dick. I can’t play ranked matches during deployment.”
Irina, without a word, gave Karl a quick once-over before abruptly leaving the room.
…That bitch, so stingy.
Karl threw himself onto the bed. The soft mattress bounced deeply once.
Perhaps out of habit, he felt it would be perfect to beat Alisa to death as she struggled in her bikini, but being forced to wait idly was frustrating.
Red Duck, those bastards. They’re dead if I catch them.
He yawned widely. As he closed his eyes, sleepiness washed over him.
…An hour later, the Encrazer arrived at an uninhabited planet.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
KP019-18. The Encrazer halted before an uninhabited planet, identified only by a string of alphanumerics. The Red Duck pirates’ ship was still undetected by radar. It seemed they had landed on the planet’s surface, not remaining in space.
Aboard the Encrazer, numerous discussions took place between the captain, the negotiation team, and the special forces. The prevailing opinion was that going down to the planet itself might be a trap.
Orders were given that the Encrazer, crucial to avoid catastrophic loss, would maintain a defensive posture in orbit while a transport ship was dispatched to planet KP019-18. Naturally, the Curble Knighthood was tasked with escorting Arcman City’s negotiation team.
“Everyone, double-check your equipment. Keep in mind that unforeseen circumstances can arise. Understood?”
Rowner Ellie’s form-fitting battle suit accentuated her ample chest, inevitably drawing the gazes of passing men. However, perhaps due to frequent experience, she seemed unfazed.
“This is Charlie. Do you read me? Over.”
“Alpha, reading you loud and clear. Over.”
“Bravo, reading you loud and clear. Over.”
The temporary squad leaders of the three squads confirmed their communication status after boarding the transport ship.
Pink-haired Dana, now facing a real-world scenario, showed visible signs of tension. Her body was stiff as she gasped for breath. Seeing this, Rowner approached her, patting her shoulder reassuringly with a smile.
“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine. But don’t let your guard down.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Louis started rambling needlessly with a “Back in my day…” Of course, Dana, consumed by nerves, didn’t hear his chatter.
The massive transport ship detached from the Encrazer and began to drift slowly through space. While likely classified, special forces units were probably landing elsewhere on the planet.
The transport ship, en route to the uninhabited planet, soon entered the atmosphere. The planet was desolate, an endless expanse of ochre rock and earth with no visible sign of water. The rugged, uneven terrain made it ideal for concealment, likely a factor in the Red Duck pirates’ choice of location.
Sandstorms raged in the distance. Even the technologically advanced transport ship seemed vulnerable to crashing if caught in those powerful gales.
After a while, the transport ship landed near an unmanned base. The intelligence squad, led by Rowner, disembarked, wielding energy guns and cautiously scanning their surroundings.
The Escort and Combat squads also set foot on the barren rocky ground. These two squads escorted the negotiation team toward the rendezvous point.
Since someone had to guard the landed transport ship, the intelligence squad and the trainee knights from the Escort and Combat squads remained behind. The trainees, lacking physical enhancements, would be of little help in combat during an emergency. It was better for them to guard the transport ship than to become a burden.
Thus, they maintained a perimeter, hoping for the negotiation team’s safe return with a positive outcome.
However, Karl, acutely aware of the Red Duck pirates’ treacherous nature, remained vigilant. They were the type to betray even their own allies for profit. A group that disregarded even the Imperial Army wouldn’t care about Arcman City.
A short time later, a communication came in from the Escort and Combat squads, reporting their imminent arrival at the rendezvous point. Wangjji also reported, “No problems here. Over.”
…But soon after, the communication network suddenly went silent.
“Alpha, Bravo, do you read me? Alpha, Bravo—!”
Rowner Ellie was flustered by this unexpected development. She hadn’t anticipated losing contact.
She decided to wait a little longer, hoping to re-establish communication. Perhaps the planet’s unique characteristics were causing temporary interference.
However, Karl was certain something had gone wrong.
…Those bastards must have deployed a jamming signal.
He approached Rowner, who seemed slightly bewildered, and suggested preparing for a possible engagement.
“…Engagement?”
Overhearing this, Louis scowled, telling him not to spout nonsense. Karl, unconcerned with the braggart’s reaction, continued.
“The Red Ducks will do anything for money. This could be a trap. The sudden communication blackout is suspicious.”
Ellie listened intently to Karl’s words and nodded.
“Understood.”
She instructed the trainees stationed around the transport ship to deploy cover and prepare for combat. They quickly retrieved barriers from the transport ship, set them up on the ground, and paired off to take cover behind them.
Karl was usually paired with Dana, but this time, Ellie called him to her side. She believed it was more appropriate for her to protect Kal than the still-inexperienced Dana.
Just then, something blipped on the radar. A powerful missile streaked in and struck—
—!!
It hit the transport ship directly. The protective shield managed to absorb the initial impact, preventing its destruction, but the force knocked the transport ship onto its side.
The trainee knights caught in the explosion were thrown in all directions, tumbling across the ground. Fortunately, their individual shields saved their lives, but the shockwave left them disoriented.
Karl was the only one left standing unharmed amidst the explosion. The Ion Buster implanted within him had neutralized the impact.
“Those fucking bastards…”
Soon, pirates began to swarm from the surroundings.
…The Red Ducks, those bastards, finally made their move.
