In the Special Region, things had gotten interesting. A night raid took place over the city of Telta. There was much unrest throughout the city as everyone swore they heard the howls of the night carrying faint screeches. The sound of rocket thrusters faded from the night. Yuki led an operation to wear down the enemy with psychological warfare as well as surgical strikes, forming several holes in their defenses.

"588th Rocket Angel Regiment Witches, RTB. Flying full throttle."

Elsewhere

Several outposts belonging to Zorzal's forces were decimated without retaliation. A mysterious white mist engulfed throughout the region, killing anything that lived in its path.

"226th Steel Ronin Regiment Chaos, mission complete."

The Ronins disappeared into the darkness, using the confusion and cover of night to escape.

On the Rho River

A heavily armed and decorated Shogun Battleship escorted an MCV to its potential build site where it stayed to guard until base defenses were up and running.

"Supreme Shogun Battleship, mission complete. We are proud to serve the commander."

Back in the city of Telta

The city's cathedral was engulfed in flames, taking with it several important holy relics and artifacts. A group of Shinobi just finished off the last of the key figures of the church and tossed their bodies among the fire.

"44th Shinobi Special Ops unit, mission complete. Mark 189 confirmed kills to the board."

They disappeared among the chaos.

Many other units called in the same.

Commander, Operation Dying Light is complete. All units are returning to base.

Yuki took a sip from her canteen.

"I love it when a mission goes smoothly like this."

Of course, Zolzal didn't take this lying down. He had to do something about the mysterious events happening all around him, so he called for any allies he had left. Unfortunately, those allies no longer existed. 10,000 Imperial Special Region soldiers laid dead across a flatland. With the smoke of battle clearing, a combined ERS army stood motionless, awaiting their next orders. Back at the Alnus refugee camp, the riot was broken up quickly by an experimental ERS squad based on the Allied Peacekeepers, the Heiwa iji Butai, Imperial Peacekeeper. Yuriko worked hard to control anyone's mind who tried to sabotage the Gate. She kept at it all night until daybreak, when her relief arrived. Exhausted, she made her way back home. At the front gate of their base, however, she was jeered by a couple of Imperial Warriors as she entered.

"Big titty Yuriko coming through. Careful not to mention her chest size."

She was too tired to even care. Entering the command building, she got in the elevator and pressed for her floor. Just as the elevator doors were closing, a hand stopped them.

"Woah, just in the nick of time."

It was Kyosuke, wearing his uniform loosely. Though she was tired, she couldn't help but notice how toned he was. She had already seen enough of him to last a lifetime, but it was different when he just got done with his duties. He caught her looking at him.

"If you want it, just say so."

Yuriko looked away and blushed. But she couldn't help it, she didn't get any action for a week. Her body was craving for it. But she wanted to do it with Yuki. As Kyosuke touched Yuriko's arm, she screamed and a pulse of psionic energy came out, disabling the elevator. Kyosuke didn't waste time as he turned on his emergency flashlight and started to work on repairing the elevator.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…"

"I should be the one apologizing for startling you like that."

Yuriko felt very upset with herself. Kyosuke got the elevator working after a few minutes of tinkering and they arrived at their floor. They entered their room where Yuki was nowhere to be found.

"She's still working. She'll be home sometime soon."

Yuriko felt ashamed with what happened earlier. Kyosuke grabbed a can of beer from the fridge. As he turned around, he was suddenly hugged by Yuriko.

"I didn't mean it, it just came out."

He placed his hand on her head and gently petted her.

"Psychological trauma affects everyone differently. Besides you, Yuki sometimes acts out like that too."

Yuriko never heard about this before.

"Do you comfort her like this afterwards?"

"Sometimes I hug her, sometimes I kiss her, sometimes I tell her that it was my fault in the first place."

"Does she still do that?"

"Of course. Trauma isn't so easily healed."

"What about you? Do you have trauma?"

Kyosuke opened his beer can and took a sip as he began to think.

"I was beaten a lot in my childhood for messing with Yuki's family. My father would beat me when he found out everytime I returned from playing with Yuki. My mother wouldn't even look at me anymore. So yeah, I have trauma."

Yuriko felt bad for asking.

"Don't feel bad for asking."

"Kyosuke… are you an esper?"

The two of them chuckled.

"I'm just used to reading body language."

He scuffled her hair as he walked past to the living room. After sitting down, Yuriko sat down next to him and leaned on him. He didn't mind as he turned on the tv.

"I'm home. You would not believe the day I had. I absolutely want to relax in the bath tonight."

Yuki opened the door to her home and was met with the sight of clothes strewn all over the sofa area. As she walked around to the front, there was Yuriko and Kyosuke, locked together in eternal pleasure.

"Aren't you two comfortable?"

The two of them looked up at Yuki.

"I'd ask if you had room for one more, but quite frankly, I just want to take a long bath and go to sleep."

Yuki walked to the bathroom, undressing herself on the way and leaving her clothes strewn about.

"How about it? Want to join her?"

Kyosuke asked.

"But…"

"You still have to wash yourself off, don't you? Besides, Yuki would appreciate your company after a long day at work."

Kyosuke got off of Yuriko, walking into the kitchen and grabbing another can of beer. Yuriko decided to join Yuki as she wobbled towards the bathroom, holding her left hand on her crotch, plugging up what Kyosuke left inside. Yuki already had the water running and began washing off her body. It would also appear that she expected Yuriko to join her as she prepared another seat for her. Yuki looked up at the bashful Yuriko.

"You gonna wash up or what?"

"Um…"

She was still holding on. Yuki moved her hand away, surprising Yuriko and causing thick, white cum to flow out and drip down her leg, washing away into the drain.

"I see you weren't bored before I came home."

Yuriko didn't say a word and only sat down next to Yuki, rinsing off her body and lathering up with soap. Every now and then, she glanced at Yuki. She'd seen her body more than she'd seen anyone else's, but sometimes, it was different. This was one of those times. Was it the light? Because Yuki's skin gleamed like a porcelain doll. Was it the situation? Her lady bits covered with soap suds, creating an erotic appearance. Whatever she thought of, Yuki sprayed her with water from the shower head. Yuriko shielded her face from the spray.

"You can be lost in thought once you're in the bath. Wash yourself off or I'm going on without you."

"Right…"

Yuriko tried to ward away her thoughts, but they lingered on for the rest of the night. As Yuriko entered the bedroom, Yuki was already face down on her pillow.

"Aren't you going to eat dinner?"

Yuki didn't answer. Yuriko was worried for Yuki's health. Lately, she's been working harder than usual, so she thought that Yuki wasn't eating or sleeping properly. With a big sigh, she picked up Yuki with her power and carried her into the kitchen.

"I just want to sleep."

"Did you eat before you came home?"

Yuki didn't want to answer. Yuriko took the silence as a no and sat Yuki down at the dining table. She peered into the fridge for something to eat. She yelped when Yuki wrapped her arms around her.

"Yuriko is such a good girl."

She rubbed her face in Yuriko's body before getting ingredients from the fridge herself. She put on an apron and immediately got to cooking. Kyosuke grabbed Yuriko's shoulder and gestured for them to sit down at the table.

"Shouldn't we help her?"

"Right now, she's in her element. Just let her be."

He eyed her up and down.

"Up for another round?"

Yuriko blushed as her power went free, levitating objects around her, including the table and chairs. Kyosuke laughed.

"Okay, maybe not tonight."

Yuriko realized what was happening and calmed down.

"But say, doesn't Yuki look lonely being the only one like that?"

He was talking about Yuki's nudity. She would always strip naked when she was at home. After all, she felt free and comfortable without the restrictions of clothes. Plus, she was safe and secure at home. Yuriko had already been used to doing lewd stuff with the two of them, but she was still pure at heart.

"But if you really don't want to, then you don't have to force yourself."

She reluctantly started to strip. She started with her shirt. It was a white, short sleeve with a print of a bear and a cat head on the front. She raised the hem until it was up and over her head, revealing her bare chest. Her shirt was long enough that she didn't need to wear pants, but she still wore panties for cleanliness. Kyosuke had her stand up in front of him. He grabbed the waistband of her pink plain panties and slowly pulled them down until they were off.

"I always like doing that part."

He sat back in his seat to take a good look at Yuriko. She fidgeted as he laid his eyes on every inch of her body. The sound of a bowling clinking as it was set on the table caught their attention.

"You can ogle her body later. Let's eat."

Yuriko was suddenly sat down next to Kyosuke, by Kyosuke. Her anxiety prevented her from saying anything, so she just did as she was told. Yuki made a large bowl of chicken curry, a popular dish from the land of the rising sun. With each with their own plate of curry, they ate in relative silence. As Yuriko was halfway done with her plate, Kyosuke was already finished with his. Using his free time, his right hand crept onto her thigh, surprising her. He looked at her with an innocent grin. Yuki was just about to finish hers. Yuriko finished her plate with his hand still on her thigh, having done nothing beyond that the entire time. Like before, she lifted the plates with her power and into the dishwasher. As for the leftovers in the bowl, she had it covered with cling wrap and placed it in the fridge. With dinner out of the way, Kyosuke moved his hand up her body, slowly trailing his hand along her sides.

"Um…"

Yuki was already gone, probably went to bed. It was just Kyosuke and Yuriko.

"Just making sure you're fine. For example…"

He pinched her lower left side.

"This is your left iliac region, important for women since this is an area where the female reproductive organ resides."

He went up and pinched her mid left side.

"Your left lumbar region, where the left kidney, spleen, and stomach are."

Finally, he stopped just under her left breast, gently massaging the area in a circular motion.

"The left hypochondriac region."

He didn't say anything.

"Wh-What's here?"

He still didn't answer. Instead, he cupped her left breast and playfully squeezed it.

"Remember, Yuriko, if you don't like it, just say so. You and Yuki are the only two people in my life that I trust. If I make you feel uncomfortable in any way, let me know."

Now Yuriko felt a little guilty. She did feel a little uncomfortable, but her body felt good from his touch.

"But since you react like this, that must mean you want more."

He pinned her down on the table. She noticed his expression, how he looked like he was having fun in a tormented way. It felt good a few hours ago, it'd feel good if he continued now.

"Like Yuki says, you're a good girl. Now, continue being a good girl while I-"

As he spread her legs and was about to unzip his pants, he was hit on the back of his head by a rolled up magazine. Yuki stood behind him with an annoyed expression.

"Yuriko just took a bath, don't dirty her up now."

He released Yuriko and Yuki grabbed her hand, leading her away to the bedroom. The last thing Yuriko saw before the door closed was Kyosuke picking up her clothes, looking back at her with the same grin as before. As Yuki closed the bedroom door, she threw Yuriko onto the bed and pinned her down.

"There's just something about pinning down your partner that makes it more exciting."

Yuki plopped herself onto Yuriko, burning her face in her chest. Yuki rolled off of her and blissfully went to sleep. Yuriko wasn't exactly sure how Yuki could immediately go to sleep in this situation, but that must mean that she was just that tired. Yuki's home was more advanced than the standard residence granted to military personnel. For one thing, most systems were automated, such as the lighting. The bedroom lights automatically dimmed until they were off. Yuriko could see in the dark due to her learning a new ability, Third Vision. With Third Vision, she could use her psionic powers to view the world around her that would be otherwise impossible without artificial technology. Two such sights were night and thermal vision. Using these two, Yuriko observed Yuki's body. She noticed it was hot on her crotch, and upon closer look, she was wet. Was she expecting to get some tonight but her tiredness got in the way? Yuriko knew better than to bother Yuki when she's extremely tired and let her sleep. But just for tonight, she gave Yuki a quick kiss on the lips before drifting off to sleep herself. She didn't see it, but Yuki licked her lips and smiled.

Alright, so while I was researching the internet, my YouTube playlist brought up Sabaton and I suddenly wanted to make a reference. Then I realized I can incorporate these events as part of the plot. Basically, events that took place in our timeline still occur in parallel timelines. You'll see it in future chapters. On a final note, I've made it clear in the previous story that Yuriko is of age. She's just a little younger than Yuki and Kyosuke, but old enough to get down and dirty without the FBI knocking down the door. Expect a famous character to show up in the future.
