Chapter 29 – Bugzie!
"Wakey wakey, lemon shakey."
"Uwaaaah…"
"Don't you yawn on me in your head!"
"Heh…"
Toshiro took a deep breath, and submerged himself. He put out two fingers over the surface.
"Yuki, if you'd please…"
"Okay… Ehhh…"
Toshiro started hearing something.
"First first first!"
It was Francesca cheering while scrubbing herself under the shower.
"No waaay! I'll be first!" Yoshika protested.
"Not in a million years!" Francesca shouted and presumably ran out.
"Oh no you don't!"
In a few seconds Toshiro saw as Francesca was jumping into the water shouting 'First!', and Yoshika following her closely shouting 'Second!'.
"Hah, I won!" Francesca boasted.
Toshiro arose from under the water like an aquatic monstrosity and said, "Did I hear somebody saying 'first'?"
"Waaaagh! Pervert!" Francesca shouted and dunked under water.
"Hahaha! Yay, Toshiro was first!" Yoshika cheered. "Now you can stop standing with your thing flapping in the wind!"
"Kay, kay." Toshiro said and sat beside Yoshika. "So, how is it?"
"Well… If it only would be indoors, I feel a bit... exposed here… But besides that, it's nice we have a big bath we can all bathe in together!"
Francesca emerged from the water with a wary expression.
"You won't try anything funny on me?" She asked reluctantly.
"Nope. I'm risking a lump from Yoshika if I did."
"Ah, then I can relax, heehee."
"T-T-Toshiro, what are you doing here?" A scared voice asked.
Everyone looked west, and saw Lynne covering herself with a towel, and Eila standing beside her as if she was clothed.
"Oh, hi Lynnie. Care for a dip?" Toshiro asked with a glowing face.
"B-b-but you…"
"Oh come on you prude, off with that towel!" Eila shouted irritated and pulled the towel away from Lynne.
The force of the towel being pulled from her arms caused Lynne's ample bosom to bounce around.
"Waaaah! I don't want to!" Lynne shrieked.
"In you go!" Eila shouted and pushed her into the bath, making poor Lynne land on her curvaceous derriere. "See? Was it that hard?"
"No…"
"Saaaaaay…" Eila said weirdly. "You have grown bigger Lynne, haven't you?"
Eila's hands started twitching in a grabby motion, and Lynne gasped silently.
"Lemme feel 'em!" Eila roared with perversity literally dripping from her eyes.
In a split second, Eila was behind Lynne, groping her like a boss.
"Eilaaa… No… Please…" Lynne protested between moans.
"Lemme feel 'em, Yoshika!" Francesca said, mocking Eila's tone and pounced at Yoshika.
"Waaah! Franceeeescaaaaaaa! I don't wannaa! Stop grabbing meee!" Yoshika squirmed around.
"Oh! It can't be! You've grown bigger!"
"I did? Impossible!"
"Very possible indeed! I know what I feel with these Mk. 1 Grabbers here! Your boobs have grown by about five percent!"
"Really?!"
"But it's still a consolation prize…"
"Yuki?"
"I guess that Kuji is taking his job seriously."
"Yes!"
"Animals! Barbarians! Licentious hedonists!"
Perrine appeared shouting suddenly, wrapped in a towel.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Francesca asked.
"You… You… Oh, T-Toshiro, you are also here… I…" Her face suddenly attained a carmine color. "It's not that I don't like you or something…"
Eila let go of her prey, and with a swift tug, she pulled in Perrine into the water. When the latter finally emerged from the water with her towel undone, she started berating Eila from top to bottom.
"You ruffian! How can you treat a fair maiden like that?! You uncouth buffoon! You…"
Perrine was stuffed under the water by Eila.
"Jeez… She's noisy today…"
"No wonder, you are picking on her…" Toshiro said.
"So you say I should apologize or something?"
"Even insincerely, but do it… She's giving me a headache with her yapping…"
"Okay…"
Eila let go of Perrine, and she shot out of the water gasping for air.
"You… You…" She looked at Eila with a glaring expression.
"I'm sorry…" Eila said with her cheeks puffed.
"Huh? What was that?"
"I'm sorry…" Eila repeated herself.
"Humph… There still may be hope for you… Now if you'll excuse me, I would like to relax…"
"Go ahead…" Eila mumbled.
Perrine leaned against the side of the bath and sighed with relief.
With the situation disarmed, everyone followed suit.
"So goooood… The fatigue from all that running is melting away…" Yoshika said.
"So you really did run around till eleven?"
"Yeah…" Yoshika replied.
"Then I'll let you all soak in for a few minutes."
"Oh come on, Toshiro, stay…" Yoshika begged.
"But we can't do anything indecent…" Toshiro swept his gaze amongst the gathered. "Or can we…"
He said with a jeering face.
"I dare you!" Eila shouted.
"To do what exactly?"
"To grab Yoshika's ass, right in front of all of us!"
Toshiro looked at Yoshika, who sighed and said, "Is that really everything?"
"You are saying that as if you were one hundred percent sure Toshiro would do it."
"Toshiro, grab my butt." Yoshika said. "Gently…" She added swiftly.
"Oh well… You have to die of something…" He murmured.
Yoshika stood up, Toshiro placed his hand one her left buttock and squeezed gently.
"What a nice sensation…" Toshiro said silently.
"You two really are something…" Eila said. "Wait a second… You said that as if you never grabbed Yoshika's ass before…"
"We were busy doing better things than ass grabbing…" Yoshika said with a mischievous smile.
"I am so jealous…" Eila said with her fist shaking.
"What, no fingerwork with Sanya?" Toshiro asked and fluttered his eyebrows.
"She's reluctant… And I already told you that she's too young for such… experiences…"
"True… So, maybe you want a true man inside of you, huh?"
Toshiro felt that his ass was spanked just now.
"Owww, Yoshika… What was that for?"
"You know what!"
"Yeah, yeah… Judging by Eila's troubled expression, she would rather wait for Sanya to mature, right?"
"Well… Not exactly…" Eila said while poking her two index fingers together.
Toshiro heard a loud 'Jiiiii' sound from where Yoshika was, and saw that she is fiercely staring a hole in Eila.
"W-what? I wouldn't sleep with Toshiro if we were the last people on Earth!"
"Thanks a lot…" Toshiro mumbled.
Yoshika stopped staring a hole into Eila and said, "Good to hear, Eila."
"We should get out of the bath already…" Toshiro sighed.
Toshiro went first, with Yoshika by his side and Eila close by. After he pulled on his pants, Lynne, Francesca and Perrine joined, and slowly started dressing themselves.
"I have to take another bath with Shirley later!" Francesca said.
"And I have to rake Sanya in…" Eila said.
"Maybe we should eat sommeeWAAAAAAH!" Lynne shouted halfway through her sentence and pulled off her panties violently.
"Getting all confident all of a sudden?" Toshiro, who was standing right behind her said with a sly smile.
"N-n-n-n-no!" She shouted and pulled them back on quickly.
"What is it, Lynne? Because I doubt you wanted to arouse my Toshiro…" Yoshika asked.
"There's something in my pants…"
"In your pants?" Yoshika asked and neared Lynne's behind.
Toshiro also looked carefully, and saw something moving.
"Something is not right, Toshiro…"
"You think this bug or whatever is in Lynne's pants is the source of your uneasiness?"
"Maybe…"
"Is it a bug?" Yoshika asked.
"B…B…B-BUG?! NOOO!" Lynne pulled off her pants again, and a small bug, flew out of Lynne's posterior.
"Oh, it flew away." Yoshika said.
"How atrocious!" Perrine said.
Toshiro tracked the bug, and saw that it flew into Eila's tights.
"Huh? Why are you all getting all freaked out over a little buuuu…WAAAAAAAH! There's something in my pants!"
"The bug!" Lynne shouted.
"Bugzie?" Francesca tilted her head.
"Show me!" Yoshika cheered.
"Bugzie!" Francesca followed suit.
"Oh no, no way! Don't even get cloooooaaaaAAAAH!"
Eila pulled down her tights and the bug flew away.
"Really now... Bugs going into people's pants?" Perrine started a tirade. "Seriously? If you guys didn't live such filthy lives, maybe that wouldn't happ... HNHHHWWWAAAAHHH!"
"It went over to Perrine!" Yoshika shouted.
"Oh! That's my bugzie!" Francesca said aloud.
"Y-you're mistaken. A bug didn't go inside my...WWAAAAAAHHH! N-not in there!" Perrine squirmed around
"Off with them!" Francesca commanded.
"You have to take them off, Perrine!" Yoshika concurred
"I-I'm totally ffffFFFWWAAAAHHH!" Perrine screamed again.
Eila and Yoshika grabbed Perrine's hands, and Francesca pulled down her pants.
"Hoho… Toshiro, nice harem you have here, heheh…" Mio's voice suddenly came from the entrance.
Perrine looked at Mio in terror, having her fanny exposed with all contiguities. The bug suddenly flew out of the well-known place and Perrine shouted through tears.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"What is going on here…?" Mio said shaking her head in disbelief.
Toshiro tracked the bug, and just as the bug flew past the power cables mounted on the wall, some sparks flew and the lights went out.
"Toshiro!"
"I saw it but…"
"I felt a Neuroi presence suddenly!"
"How, where?!"
"The bug seems to be connected to the Neuroi!"
"Damn it! Those fuckers won't back off for one day!"
"Power outage?" Mio wondered.
Perrine and the girls started finishing dressing themselves, Perrine sobbing quietly all the time. Toshiro explained what happened.
"Geez, all this over a bug? You worried me…" Mio said.
"But see, the bug went into our pants." Eila mumbled. "It was crawling around… there…"
"Exactly!" Perrine shouted confounded. "That vile little insect defiled and embarrassed me! It's as good as dead!"
"Hey! That's my bugzie you are talking about!" Francesca protested.
"All right. Let's try and catch it!" Yoshika said confidently.
"W-What?" Lynne said shyly.
She was grabbed by Yoshika and the five ran away.
"Those girls sure have a lot of energy despite the running…" Mio said.
"The bath seems to work then, Mio. Take a dip yourself, I have a feeling you'll need it in a few moments."
"Oh will I?"
"Trust me."
"If you say so… Now shoo, I don't intend to strip before you."
"Awwwww, why? You are in a Fuso style changing room…"
"Don't get cheeky, because although you are my superior, I can still smack you in the face."
"Hah, feisty as ever. Okay, I have to follow the girls."
"You do."
Toshiro ran off in the direction where the girls went, and he caught up just before Trude's and Erica's room.
"It went that way!" Yoshika shouted.
The door to the room opened, and Trude got out, visibly pissed off.
"What the fuck is going on here?! Running around and shouting in the living quarters is grounds for disciplinary action!"
The girls stopped immediately.
"Oh, there it is!" Yoshika gasped.
"Bugzie!" Francesca cheered.
"What bugzie? Just who is responsible for this raaaaggghhhhhhnnnnnggggg!"
Trude suddenly started squirming around with a face that could scare off a hungry tiger.
"Oh, it went into the Captain's pants." Eila said and pointed at Trude.
"Trude!" Yoshika said with a concerned voice.
"Shut up!" She replied violently. "In battle, the ability to make calm decisions can be the difference between life and death. In situation like this, first you must do..." She grabbed her pants and pulled them down. "This!"
"Got it!" Erica shouted with a glint in her eyes from behind Trude and pounced at her.
Her hand slapped Trude's surprisingly well-rounded keister, much to the surprise of the victim, as she gave off a short shout. Erica missed however; the bug flying away and a red hand mark were proof of it.
"Too slow…" Erica grumbled.
"H-Hartmann…"
Trude was so shocked she could barely speak.
The bug flew past Yoshika and Francesca.
"Oh, it's getting away!" Yoshika said.
"Bugzieeee!" Francesca cheered and the posse started its wild chase again.
"Toshiro… Bad news…"
"Huh?"
"I can only detect the bug when it's actually two meters around you…"
"Shit…"
"But I have an idea! Go to your ample breasted redheaded friend, and build an actual detector!"
"How will I know it will work?"
"I already know the pattern the bug is emitting, I can help you tune the device into it."
"Okay then… To Shirley off I go…"
"W-what was that all about, Toshiro?" Trude asked.
"The girls are dead serious about payback on that panty crawling bug. If he'd go into Yoshika's private parts, I'd murder it on the spot, but for now I'll give them some fun. And you two, go to the bath double time, that's an order."
"That's an order I can comply to!" Erica cheered and ran into the room.
"I suppose I can test the new bath…" Trude murmured.
"You can pull your pants on now…" Toshiro said.
"Oh crap!" She shouted and pulled her pants before Toshiro could blink. "It was indeed a bit breezy…"
"Tell Mio that if the girls won't catch the bug, she should gather everyone in one place and think about a strategy for catching it."
"Is the bug so important?"
"I can't tell you anything yet, I'm still in the dark partially."
"Okay, Toshiro." Trude went into her room, and Toshiro went to Shirley.
When he entered, saw her lying in bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Hey, Shirley, I got a mission for both of us."
"Oh?"
"We have to build a radio frequency detector, specifically for one frequency."
"Give me thirty minutes, and it's done!"
"And if I help?"
"Twenty at most!"
It really took them twenty minutes, and the result was a box shaped device the size of a Stielhandgranate case, donned with knobs, buttons and dials, with two tubular antennas protruding from it.
"Come on, Shirley, let's go to the common room."
"What's this about?"
"We are bug hunting."
"Bug hunting…"
"I suppose I can tell you… There's a Neuroi, as small as a bug, flying around our base, and creeping into the girls' pants. It also seems to be the source of the blackouts."
"Interesting… Very interesting… Well, let's go to the rest then!"
They trotted on to the common room. Before entering it, Toshiro halted Shirley.
"Let's listen what the girls found out…"
"It appears that that for some reason, wherever it goes, the power goes out." Eila said.
"I won't let it go unpunished!" Perrine shouted shaking her fist.
"Hey, that's my bugzie you're talking about!" Francesca said angrily.
"Major! If this continues unabated, it could shut down the entire base." Trude said with conviction in her voice.
"True…" Mio said. "But how do we go about locating it?"
Toshiro pulled Shirley, and they entered the room.
"But that's my bugzie!" Francesca protested.
"Two step ahead of ya!" Shirley said, and everyone looked at her.
"Shirley?" Yoshika asked.
"Shirley!" Francesca cheered. "You finally crawled out of your room!"
"You see, Yuki and I noticed that the bug is indeed sapping the power of the wires. The second thing is, now I can probably tell you, that the bug isn't a bug per se…"
"What is it then?" Mio asked.
"It's a Neuroi."
Everyone was shocked by Toshiro's words, but Mio quickly said, "Are you sure?"
"Yes. It only reveals its Neuroi origin when pulling power from wires, that's why Sanya is probably still sleeping yet. Yuki managed to memorize the frequency of a radio signal the bug emits before sapping power, and combined it with residual radio emissions, thus making a sort of 'radio fingerprint' of the Neuroi, which this little box made by us two can detect."
"Incredible!" Trude shouted.
"But do you know why it goes into our… lower cavities with such zeal?"
"I have no idea." Both Shirley and Toshiro responded in unison.
"Oh… Okay…"
"Well, I guess we should all just take our pants off, huh?" Erica said and reached for her panties.
"No." Trude opposed. "Do that, and we'll never catch the bug. Elwyn, fire up that gerät (device) of yours."
"Roger that."
She pressed the big red button to turn it on. The dials moved and the device started giving of static noises.
"Hah! I'm picking up the signal! It's somewhere here!"
"Huh?"
Everyone was suddenly surprised.
"Yup, it's here."
"Yuki also confirms it."
Shirley started slowly walking towards the girls.
"Without a doubt, it's close…" Shirley murmured.
She moved the detector around the girls, pointing it on Perrine for a longer while.
"N-no way, it's not me!" She opposed.
Then Shirley moved it back in Yoshika's direction and said, "Here!"
"Whaaaaa… I don't feel any…. Nooooooo!" Yoshika screamed and grabbed her behind.
"That fucking does it!" Toshiro roared and summoned Aganaimaru. "I will rain divine judgment on you, you perverted bug!"
"N-no! T-Toshiro, wait!" Yoshika protested.
"Waaah, my bugzie!" Francesca said with her hands doing grabby movements.
"Nooo! Stay away!" Yoshika shouted and started running away from Francesca.
"Come on, Yoshika! Gimme back my bugzie!"
"Ewww! It's moving aarrrouuuund!" Yoshika cried.
"Miyafuji! Take off your pants!" Mio commanded.
"Nooooo!"
Perrine ran before Yoshika, blocking one way of her escape and said, "For everyone's sake, take them off!"
"No way, this is not a bath!" Yoshika cried and ran aside.
Everyone tried to catch her, but suddenly her agility reached inhuman levels. She however ran with her eyes closed, and bumped into Shirley.
The bug flew out of Yoshika's swimsuit, and zapped the detector.
"Damn bug!" Shirley shouted. "It fried my detector!"
Toshiro took a swing at it and missed.
"You're not getting away!" Toshiro shouted and the sword started glowing blue.
"Toshiro, for the sake of all kami, stop! You'll demolish the whole building!" Mio yelled.
The sword stopped glowing, and disappeared.
"Heheheheh… I got a bit carried away… But no damn Neuroi will live to tell the tale of defiling my girlfriend!"
"Then after him!" Mio shouted.
"Toshiro, wait a second!" Eila shouted. "You can enact your revenge later, help me find something."
"What is it?"
"You'll see, come on."
"Okay…"
They ran into her room. Sanya was still sleeping, so they crept to a cupboard.
"We are looking for dowsing rods." Eila whispered.
"Seriously?"
"Seriously."
"Okay…" Toshiro said and opened a random drawer.
It was full of panties, both emerald green ones that Eila wore, and pure whites of Sanya.
"Idiot! Not that drawer!" Eila half-whispered angrily.
"You could have told me…"
Toshiro opened another drawer, rummaged it through a bit, and found two metal rods bent in half at a ninety degrees angle.
"This is what you're looking for?"
"Yup. Now we can search for that bug even in this complete blackout."
"I'm skeptical…"
"And I don't even feel the Neuroi here…"
When Eila took the rods, they started moving.
"Oh, see, they're picking it up!"
She turned around, and the rods pointed at Eila sleeping in her bed. She went forward, according to the directions given by the rods.
"S-Sanya?" Eila said. "No wait, its way, way past Sanya… Right?"
"You asking me?"
"No, the rods…"
Suddenly, the rods moved violently and converged, pointing out at Sanya.
Eila blushed immediately, and she got closer and closer to Sanya. Toshiro reluctantly stood a few meters to the side.
Eila's hand moved towards Sanya's panties, and she pulled them down slightly. At the same time, Sanya's animal ears sprouted out of her head. Eila pulled down the panties even further, and Sanya's cat tail popped out. In addition, her Magic Antenna showed up.
Sanya turned around to Eila, who still had Sanya's panties in her clutches.
"Y-your mistaken, Sanya dearest!"
Sanya blushed heavily, and with her usual calmness she said, "Eila…"
"Uhm, what?"
Sanya swiftly jumped towards Eila and gave her a punch to the head with such a ferocity, that a lump popped up immediately.
"Owowowowooowwww!" Eila pranced around in pain, holding her head.
Sanya noticed Toshiro, and gave him a darkly look.
"I just happened to pass by…"
"Could you explain why Eila was pulling down my panties?"
"There's a pantie crawling Neuroi bug in our base."
"Oh… Then she was actually concerned about me…"
"Yes, yes, I was concerned!" Eila concurred.
"Your hasty reaction tells me something else… But whatever… Toshiro, there are two Neuroi presences that I feel."
"Two? Shit… The power is probably dead in the radar room… Aaaarrrghhh… What to do… I have to get hold of Mio."
"I'll follow you." Sanya said and looked at Eila. "Coming with me, pervert?"
"Yes…"
Toshiro used all tricks Yuki had in the book, and found the rabble standing on the first floor from the west.
"Toshiro, where were you?" Yoshika asked.
"With these two." He pointed out Eila and Sanya.
"Why does Eila have such a big lump?" Lynne asked.
"Too much to explain. Well anyway, Sanya picked up a second Neuroi signature outside of the base."
"Damn it!" Mio shouted. "Sanya, where is it?"
"From the eastern part of Venezia."
"Okay… Barkhorn, Hartmann - you two prepare for combat, Miyafuji, Toshiro – you two come with me."
"But the bu…"
"The bug can wait, Miyafuji! Double time, on me! Sanya, Eila – you two scour the building with the rest."
"Roger." The two responded.
Toshiro, Mio and Yoshika ran towards the castle.
"Mio, why am I actually running with you?"
"Because you could snap if you saw the bug. You know how dangerous that sword of yours is, right?"
"Valid argument…"
At the junction inside the castle, Mio said, "Upwards!"
They ran up the stairs, and Mio asked Toshiro, "Look for Minna inside the office."
Toshiro opened the door, and he saw no Minna whatsoever present in said room.
"No dice, Mio. Maybe she went bathing?"
"Shit! Okay, let's go up to your balcony, Toshiro!"
"Best vantage point in the whole damn base, huh?"
"Precisely! Come on, Miyafuji!"
They run up the stairs to Toshiro's room, and out to the balcony. Mio lifted her eye patch, and she started scanning the eastern part of the sky.
"Tell her to look directly to 83; I feel a presence from that direction."
"Okay!"
"Mio, azimuth 83!"
Mio moved her head slightly to the left, and after a few seconds she shouted, "Neuroi spotted! But it doesn't have a core… Toshiro, sound the alarm!"
"At it!"
Toshiro run to the PA panel in his room, and slid back a small panel on it. After pulling a lever, he pushed the red button that was revealed. It gave no result, but he tried it a few times again.
"Fuck! Mio, the power's dead!"
"Damn it to hell! Toshiro, jump down to the hangar and tell Barkhorn and Hartmann to launch and intercept it anyway!"
"My thoughts exactly! Hey, Yoshika, want a ride down?"
"Woo, sure!"
Toshiro grabbed Yoshika in a bridal manner, and jumped off the balcony straight onto the runway.
"Yaaay! One more time!"
"You'll get one more chance, but not now, heehee. Oh, I see Trude and Erica are running to us already."
Toshiro let go of Yoshika, and she stood on her own legs.
"Toshiro, what's up?" Trude asked nervously.
"Mio spotted the enemy already, you are clear for combat. The enemy's core couldn't be detected, but you have to stall it for now." Toshiro looked a bit flustered at the lower regions of the two. "Why are you panty-less?
"To prevent that perverted bug from crawling into our clits, damn it!" Trude answered with red face. "Come on, Hartmann!"
"Yahoo! Neuroi killin' time!"
"The things that I see…" Toshiro said while the two were running away. "I wonder if…" Toshiro activated his transponder. "Mio, do you read?"
"Loud and clear. Good that the transponders are working."
"Trudy and Erica are going out."
"Good. Find the rest of the girls for me, I'll join you. We have to hunt down that bug Neuroi!"
"Roger!"
Toshiro used Yuki's magic, and he located a big lump of energy running around in the dorm.
"The girls are running around the dorm building, Mio." He said through the transponder.
"Roger that, go there ahead of me with Miyafuji."
"Come on, Yoshika, we are going on a bug hunt." Toshiro said.
"Okay!" Yoshika cheered and they ran towards the dorm.
Midway through, to the dorm, Mio joined them, and the three of them saw that the whole bunch chasing the bug ran out and toward the bath. They joined them, and Shirley asked, "What took ya so long?"
"Dispatching Hartmann and Barkhorn." Mio responded.
Toshiro could see the bug clearly, flying hastily ten meters before them.
While I could cut it down with a Rending Gale, this would cause so much collateral…
They ran after it into the building, and it led them straight to the bath. As they ran inside, they saw Minna, standing with her back towards them, and pulling up her panties.
"It's there!" Sanya said aloud and pointed to Minna.
"Right there!" Eila concurred.
Minna turned around startled.
"H-hey!"
She had her shirt unbuttoned, showing of her perfectly shaped body.
Perrine lunged forward with a valiant shout.
"Now's my chance!"
She pulled down Minna's panties swiftly, and the bug was seen crawling up Minna's 'vital parts'.
"I see it!" Mio shouted with her eye patch off.
Toshiro summoned his sword, and pointed it towards the bug. The blade was ten centimeters before Minna's body.
"Revenge is mine…" He said with a cold voice.
"W-W-W-WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!" Minna screamed in panic and pulled up her black panties up with full force, squeezing her thighs at the same time.
The gathered could hear the sound of breaking glass. Sanya's magic faded away, Eila's rods wandered aside, and Mio said, "It's dead. Good work, Minna."
"You did it!" Yoshika cheered.
"Incredible work." Perrine followed suit.
"Waaaaaaah! My buuuugzieeeeee!" Francesca cried sadly.
"Ahhhh… Owww…" Minna hissed in pain.
Everyone stopped doing what they were doing and looked at Minna.
"What is it, Minna?" Toshiro said after dispelling his sword.
"It hurts…" She said with a bleak expression.
Toshiro's brain kicked into fifth gear for a few second, and he shouted, "Holy fuck! Yoshika, run into the infirmary! Prepare a bed and tweezers!"
"W-what's going on?" She asked.
"The Neuroi must have cut up Minna's vagina from the inside as she squished it. The damn thing is crystal-like! Come on, Yoshika!"
A small speck of blood could be seen on Minna's panties. Toshiro grabbed her and ran out of the room, with Yoshika by his side, leaving the wondering rest in the bath.
"Yoshika, jump on my back, and hold tight!"
"Okay!" Yoshika said and did what she was told.
Toshiro sped up immensely, and they were in the infirmary.
"Owowowow… It hurts like hell…" Minna grunted. "What did I do again?"
"You have crushed a Neuroi with… uhhh… your pelvic muscles…"
"I did? Wow… But it hurrrts…"
"Don't worry, Yoshika will heal you."
Yoshika pulled over a sheet over a bed and said, "Here, Toshiro."
Toshiro laid Minna down on the bed. Yoshika found some tweezers, gauze, and a small head mounted flashlight.
"Don't tell me… you'll…" Minna blushed heavily.
"I can't heal you while the shards are stuck there, Miss Minna."
"Okay…"
"You have a once in a lifetime chance to mess around with your superior officer, heheh…" Toshiro cackled.
"And you get out of here!" Yoshika shouted all red on her face.
"But I want to keep company to Minna…"
"Then get that screen over there, and get behind it!"
Toshiro pulled the screen aside Minna's bed, and sat on the adjacent one.
"Good now?"
"Good. Okay, Miss Minna… uhhh… it may sound weird but… spread your legs please…"
"Oh… okay…"
Toshiro saw that Yoshika turned on the flashlight. The shadows that were cast on the screen were everything he needed to know.
"Okaay, I'll go in nooow…"
"Iyaaaaah…" Minna moaned.
"Damn it, Minna, don't moan so sensually!" Toshiro shouted.
"If you would be a woman, and your sexual organs would be used for almost four years only to bleed out once a month, you would be so sensitive too!"
"Sorry…"
"It's okay… But it seems that Yoshika isn't exactly playing fair down there…"
"Heehee, you caught me… But don't move, I have to pull everything out."
After twenty minutes of spontaneous moans, the familiar blue light flooded the room, and after ten seconds, Yoshika said, "You can now pull up your panties."
"Thank you, Yoshika."
Toshiro saw through the screen that Minna pulled up her undergarments, so he finally stood up and took a peek at them. Bloody gauze was lying all over the place, but Minna looked like a fresh spring flower.
"It seems everything is okay?" Toshiro asked.
"Yeah, everything went well." Yoshika said.
"I have to give you a reward for being such a brave patient, Minna. Excuse me, you two."
Toshiro went outside the infirmary, where everyone gathered.
"Toshiro, what is it?!" Trude asked.
"Minna will live. She'll probably walk out this door in a few minutes, and smack you all for dropping in on her while she was dressing up, heheh…"
Everyone gulped and slowly but surely dispersed.
Toshiro walked to the office and picked up the phone receiver. Thankfully, it worked. After a minute, he would hear the voice of the black haired Karlslander beauty.
"Generalmajor Galland…"
"Morning, Adolfine."
"Hoho, Toshiro, what's up?"
"I guess you'll have to cough up a medal or two today, heheh…"
"Oh really? You have enough from what I remember, heh…"
"If it were about me, I wouldn't bother. It's about Minna."
"Oh, your cute underling did something valorous enough to earn a medal?"
"Indeed, Adolfine. She scored her 200th kill today."
"Bravo! That is indeed something that deserves a medal. A Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords to be exact. Tell me, how it happened, I have to give something to the press."
"I'd rather you didn't give them the real circumstances…"
"Why?"
"Because they're… Uh… Fuck, it's too embarrassing to tell…"
"We are both adults, Toshiro, come on."
Toshiro relayed how what happened today.
"Uuuuuhmmm… Yes… You were right, Toshiro… I'll have to pull down a curtain of silence on that…"
"When will you grant it to her?"
"We'll see, Toshiro. By the way, how does it feel to recommend someone to an award?"
"Damn well! Have a nice day, Adolfine."
"You too, Toshiro."
A job well done… Time to return to the girls.
He went into the dining room, and saw that everyone was sitting at the table, with Yoshika, Lynne, and lo and behold, Trude working in the kitchen.
"I see that everyone is hungry already?" Toshiro asked.
"Of course! All that running cost us!" Shirley answered.
"Well anyway, I have an announcement." Toshiro said with a smug face. "Guess who's getting a medal?"
"You have too much medals, bro, give others a chance…" Erica mumbled with a tired voice.
"That's what I'm implying, sister dearest."
"Oh? You have me interested." She livened up, and looked amongst the gathered.
Her gaze rested on Minna, and the rest soon followed. Minna blushed slightly, and pointed herself out shyly saying, "Me?"
"Bingo, Minna. Welcome in the elite club of the recipients of the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross!"
"It can't be!" Minna shouted covering her mouth.
"Yay, Minna! Congrats!" Erica cheered.
"Hah? Did I hear it right? Minna joined the elite 200+ club?" Trude asked from the kitchen. "Glückwünsche, Minna!"
"Thanks you two… But what about the rest? Don't you like your Commander, heehee…?"
After a series of congratulations, Minna asked, "Toshiro, I hope you weren't diligent for once in reporting…"
"I told Adolfine the whole truth, but… she admitted that it would look inappropriate…"
"Whew… I thought I would have to shoot myself… The shame… Lieutenant Colonel Wilcke kills Neuroi with…" Minna shuddered.
"I won't write the report until Adolfine finds out a way to brush it under the carpet. But I'll have to write a commendation for you formally. But don't worry, I think I won't have to get detailed…"
"No, you won't have to… Yoshika, how's the food going on, I'm hungry!"
"Five minutes!"
After a feast befitting a king, Toshiro and Minna holed themselves in their office, writing a ton of reports.
When they were about to end, somebody knocked on the door.
"Come in…" Toshiro said.
The door opened, and Shirley popped in all giddy.
"Job done!" She announced.
"What job?" Toshiro asked.
"Oh, right, I didn't tell any of you… I checked the main fuse box of the base, which is located in the hangar by the way, and I got only good news!"
"Let's hear it." Minna said.
"The power surges caused by that bug only blew the fuses. I replaced them, and everything is working!"
"Good job, Shirley, but I have a feeling you didn't do it quite selflessly…" Toshiro said with a wry smile.
"Hah! Of course not! I have to have electricity to work on my project!"
"How is it going, Shirley?" Minna asked suddenly.
"Going fine, Minna."
"Wait a second… you know?" Toshiro asked surprised.
"Of course I know. Shirley is indebted to me for a total sum of over three thousand lire…"
"And you didn't tell me…"
"Ovular solidarity, Toshiro." Minna said and both she and Shirley giggled.
Toshiro sighed and said, "If it weren't for my white hair, they would be gray already… Go back to your tinkering, Shirley."
"Yes sir!" Shirley shouted and went out of the room.
Toshiro looked at Minna, and she retorted, "A Commander doesn't know everything, he's not God…"
"Second place is also good, Minna heheh… And I'm a SUPERVISOR, not the Commander. You are the Commander."
"Heehee, don't adulate me like that…"
The rest of the day was fairly normal – Trude nabbed Toshiro to work in the archive, everyone ate supper, Toshiro took a bath in his own tub, and just as he was to go asleep, the usual brown haired fairy popped up through the door to his room.
"And what do I owe this late evening visit, huh?"
"You don't want me? Fine…" Yoshika answered and turned around.
"Of course I want sheesh… Don't be so grumpy…"
Yoshika stepped inside the room and locked the door behind her. She approached Toshiro's bed, and slowly climbed on him.
"We have a week of abstinence to catch up to, Toshiro… I hope you didn't… relieve yourself…"
"Cross my heart and hope to die, not even once."
"Good." Yoshika said while leaning to Toshiro's lips.
