"Fufu, I'm just joking."
"You bet."
"I will let you leave after I get that V."
"You better not."
"Aawww."
She grinned glancing at Keenan, she liked making fun of this guy. She bit her lip and stared at him up and down.
Keenan frowned and averted his gaze.
"Anyway, why me? If you want to release your sexual tension, you can get them in your mercenaries. They are buff and I bet they can last long. You don't have to be obsessed with me and my virginity."
Keenan was trying to convince her because he wanted to protect his chastity. Virginity is cool, stay virgin.
"That's the last thing I want to do. In my whole life, I never had a sexual relationship with any of my comrades. You are sharp so you can understand why."
"Fair enough. It will be bad for the whole team if you did that. Sometimes love and sex is the reason why friendship is broken. Just like Moshuku Tensei, I'm talking about his parents not Rudeus himself."
"I don't know what Moshuku blah blah is, but you are right. The chain of command will crumble if I try to favor even one of them, so instead of giving them any indulgence, I give them beatings."
"I can see why some of your people become M."
"Want me to make you one?"
"Hell no."
Captain Yora giggled. As she walked, her tits were bouncing, a wonderful sight to see that even Keenan could agree that he wanted to grab them at least once. She was wearing a fitted sleeveless shirt, and her curves were outlined so well and even Keenan gulped watching her movements, she was alluring despite just walking.
"You are not a student, talking to me like that, believing that we are equal."
"I just want to show my strong side so that you won't bully me."
"Fufu, I think I'm more interested in you."
"Is that so, I guess I should find a new approach."
In just a day of bickering, the two almost know how their minds work. Keenan is a student but he had a mature mindset and sharp instinct. Captain Yora loved to make fun of him, wants to steal his virginity, and had a dark side when she's angry.
'This person is dangerous yet fun.'
They both concluded inside their minds. They understand that they are not normal and hiding something.
"Oh, look at that, we are here. The commanding room, the room where I almost kill you."
"Ah, don't make me remember that. Even now my hair is standing."
Captain Yora signaled one of the men to open the door. The door slowly opened and they were welcomed by dozens of people talking about something important.
"Yora, you are late."
"Sorry~"
Shana sighed and decided to leave it like that, nothing changed just like the good old days.
They plan to raid a village and ransack their resources. Sometimes a village had powerful Nightmares so it was important for Shana and Yora to take part in the operation. Yet, Yora was late and looked nonchalant.
Shana looked around and realized that Keenan was there too. She glanced at Yora and the woman just shrugged.
"… Never mind. Let's return to our discussion."
Keenan who was silent all the time stand on the corner not to disturb them. He listened to their plan, the agenda to raid, and the contingency plan if something bad happened. Everything was entirely good and Shana was explaining everything well. All of the people inside the commanding room were greatly listening to what she said.
However, overall, the last to decide is the Captain, Captain Yora. All of them looked at Yora and wait for her approval. The woman yawned and rubbed her eyes, she was getting sleepy.
"You know how I do things right?"
"Destroy everything, don't let anything survive. Steal everything, so that we will be rich."
Except for Shana and Keenan, all of them simultaneously said with strong intensity.
"And what when a strong monster appeared?"
"We will leave it to you and Operator Shana."
"Good, now let's start."
Captain Yora cracked her knuckles and grinned. All of the people inside the room stood and saluted, even Keenan was caught by the atmosphere and raised his hand.
"As you command!!"
They left one by one until Shana, Captain Yora, and Keenan were the only people in the commanding room.
"It's a mystery how they still respect you after you put most of them in sleep."
"They like that I did that. Even Anton begged me to release a strong aura again."
"Ah, that man is sick."
Shana bickered and Yora replied honestly. As for Keenan, he was just standing since he didn't know what to do. Should he leave, or not? After a second of thinking, he decided to leave. He moved his feet and walked towards the door leaving Shana and Captain Yora. However, a strong hand caught his collar and pulled him. Keenan was almost choked.
"Gah!"
He started coughing and looked back, he glared at Captain Yora who was giggling with glamour, and she is indeed a beauty.
"What?"
"I'm not asking you to fight, I want you to watch from the ship and witness how we will eradicate the whole place."
"What a braggart, are you sure you can do that?"
"Fufu, just watch."
Captain Yora laughed and even Shana laughed. Keenan sensed the tremor and sent shivers down his spine. He acknowledged that these two are dangerous, it was sort of lucky that Keenan was not their enemy, and he didn't have any intention of being one. The way Yora and Shana smile, they were confident about their strength, they are partners.
"Let's go, they are waiting for us."
"We already sent our scouts first to inspect the village, so far so good."
"Um, I know it looks stupid, but how about you attack the village when it's daytime. Nightmares are wide awake when it's night, it will be detrimental to attack right now."
Keenan joined their conversation, the two women listened to him. Shana had an expression of 'yeah I get it' and Captain Yora just chuckled. They had different expressions.
"You see, this Handler of mine loves thrilling battle. She wanted to fight monsters when they are at their best so that she could topple them and humiliate them till their death. She's a Sadist down to her core."
"Ah, fair enough."
Keenan replied and glanced at Captain Yora.
