Chapter 38: Libidinous eyes.

Leila awoke with a start, uttering a very loud scream of pure terror, which almost deafened the Hyuga brothers, lying next to her.

"Leila! What happens?" Akito asked her.

"Bitch ... you punctured my eardrum!" Shin exclaimed, stunned.

The girl, with eyes full of fear, looked first at one and then the other, before falling on her back on the bed.

"Can you explain to me what's wrong with you?" Hyuga senior asked brusquely.

"A nightmare ..." She replied, breathing a sigh of relief.

"It must have been really scary, to make you scream like that ..."

"Yeah…"

Akito smiled, then kissed her on the forehead.

"Relax ... Now it's gone."

But how sweer they are ...

Shin thought.

Leila turned to him, then kissed him on the lips. She did the same with Akito.

"Thank you for the wonderful Christmas present."

The two brothers, initially taken aback, smiled at her.


At the same time Ayano was taking a shower.

Sometimes fate can be really ironic ... First they recruit us in a European battalion to fight the British, then the aliens arrive and overnight we become allies of Britannia!

She thought, still bewildered by the idea.

In the past three months, we have taken part in several operations in Eastern Europe, sometimes together and sometimes separately ... Despite this, there is still a climate of suspicion and mutual distrust between our two units.

When she was done she got out of the shower, put on her clothes and went to her room. En route she ran into Ashley, standing in front of a door with her arms folded.

"Hello!" He greeted her.

"Hello ..." She replied.

"You ... you're Japanese, aren't you?"

"Yup. My name is Ayano Kosaka."

"I don't think I've seen you before ... Correct me if I'm wrong."

"Sometimes on board our frames on various battlefields."

"Never in person?"

"Sometimes, from afar."

"I introduce myself, I'm Ashley Ashra, commander of the Homonym team."

"Leila told me about you ... You tried to kill Akito."

"He killed one of my companions."

"It was a battle ... What did you think we were going to exchange chocolates?"

"As long as Akito is alive Johanne will not be able to rest in peace. The mere idea of fighting alongside him makes me sick. But don't get me wrong, I have nothing against you and others."

"Changing the subject ... What kind of frame do you use?"

"Ahuramazda, red in color. You?"

"An Alexander, T2 model."

"How long have you been in this unit?"

Ayano stared at him, annoyed.

"Would that be an interrogation?"

"I just wanted to get acquainted."

The girl snorted, then replied:

"About ... Seven months."

"So from before the Smilas coup."

"Exact."

"Why did you agree to enroll? I know the old government interned you Eleven ... "

"Japanese, not Eleven!"

"... You Japanese in the ghettos."

"The alternative was capital punishment. Leila made us an offer that my friends and I couldn't refuse."

"Friends?"

"Ryo and Yukiya."

"Ah, I think I saw them in the canteen ... What had you done to risk the death penalty?"

"We had attempted to kidnap General Smilas, but Leila and Akito captured us."

Ashley looked at her in bewilderment, then burst out into a loud laugh.

"What is there to laugh about?" She asked angrily.

"Kidnapping a general is never a wise decision ... What did you hope to achieve?"

"An advanced Knightmare model."

Ashley laughed louder, making Ayano irritated.

"What idiots! Were you so naive as to believe that the armed forces of Europia would succumb to your blackmail?"

The girl looked down.

"I admit it, that time we really sinned of naivety."

The boy smiled at her, then winked.

"You're really nice!"

"Thanks ... I have to go now."

That said Ayano walked, unaware that Ashley's eyes had landed on her ass, highlighted by the tight-fitting suit she was wearing.

Delicious!

He thought, licking his lips.
