Elite Brigade (3)
Elite Brigade (3)
Memories of being assaulted by Sras resurfaced, sending boiling blood rushing to the crown of my head.
"Bastard."
Without a moment's hesitation, I lifted the desk he'd been leaning on and hurled it against the wall.
Bang!!
Whether from adrenaline exploding through my rage-clouded mind, everything around me flowed in slow motion. I saw Sras losing balance and falling. The policemen who brought me wore dumbfounded expressions while fumbling for their holstered pistols.
A sharp desk fragment shattered against the wall came flying toward me. I casually caught it. Then grabbed the collapsing Sras by the nape. I raked the desk fragment across his face dozens of times.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Since it wasn't a sharp weapon, his face became messily shredded beyond recognition - eyes, nose, and lips indistinguishable.
This was actually less disgusting.
Though currently holding the title of Oist Mercenary Battalion Commander, he was originally a savage bastard who'd turn humans into canned meat.
I needed to check what he'd done to Seol-ha under hypnosis while I was unconscious. Then deliver appropriate punishment.
After meticulously carving up his face, I stabbed the sharp desk fragment into his neck. Growling at him in a low voice:
"What did you do to her yesterday."
As my focus faded, surrounding objects gradually sped up before resuming normal flow.
Sras finally seemed to feel pain, clutching his face while emitting agonized moans.
"Ughhk! Uuuuughhk."
Click, click, click.
I heard the policemen who brought me aiming their guns.
"You wanna die too?"
Their gun-wielding hands visibly trembled, unable to withstand my killing intent. The officers barely stood their ground, unable to meet my eyes. Clearly, any courage to oppose me had been castrated.
Yun Seol-ha approached me with a trembling voice:
"K-Kelrot-ssi. N-nothing happened."
"Kkhuk, since when did you become so quick."
Having only torn his skin, Sras's strong regeneration had already restored his original disgusting face.
"Battalion Commander-nim! Are you alright?!"
"We have private matters to discuss. Please leave."
"Battalion Commander-nim, they're dangerous! They're still holding a weapon to your neck!"
"This is just our rough greeting ritual. No need for concern."
The policemen looked bewildered by Sras's unexpected statement. Me too. Why is he covering for me?
After prolonged hesitation, the officers finally exited when Sras raised his voice.
Sras dusted off his uniform and wriggled his tentacles while speaking with that detestable smirk:
"Kkhuk, didn't know you were this fast. Impressive."
"Shut up and answer me. What did you do to her yesterday."
With the weapon still at his neck, Sras shrugged insolently and spoke in that infuriating voice:
"Hypnotized her to ask where the treasure you stole was hidden. Asked the girl repeatedly, but she genuinely didn't know. Gave up and left. That's all."
"What? You didn't vent your lust on Seol-ha's body?"
He chuckled:
"Not at all."
Detestable bastard. Can't trust that slimy smirk. Though Seol-ha remembers nothing, he could've erased memories under hypnosis.
Any way to verify if he's lying?
Deep in thought, I remembered X.
"X, you got lie detection?"
[Through heartbeat, blood flow velocity, and brain activity, I can detect lies with 99% accuracy.]
"This bastard lying?"
[Based on bio-data, he's not lying.]
"Fuck...ing..."
What they want are the Axion Shard and gem I took. Of course Seol-ha wouldn't know their location, so they questioned her until exhausted and left?
Plausible. But they're not the obedient type.
Savage bastards who toy with women like bugs before killing them. But since X confirms he's not lying, no further arguments remain.
Sras pushed away the desk fragment at his neck and spoke professionally:
"You cleanly shattered both wrist bones of our mercenary member. His low regeneration means full recovery is unlikely. I won't hold you accountable, but please ensure no recurrences."
"That bastard started it!!"
I nearly said he molested me, but stopped upon remembering Seol-ha's presence. Didn't want her knowing I was assaulted by a man.
"I can roughly imagine. Next time, end it with light discipline. I need to procure a new desk and finish morning duties, so please leave now."
"Invade like yesterday again, and you won't leave alive."
"We will absolutely reclaim what you stole."
"You son of...!"
"We'll formally schedule questioning time. Yesterday's incident won't repeat."
No time to spare for that bastard. Won't encounter him again.
Exiting the repulsive Sras's battalion office, we headed to our respective units.
I'd go to the Elite Brigade composed of superhumans beyond common sense like Kamyu, while Yun Seol-ha would head to Special Forces Battalion to express breast milk for Oist mercenaries.
Seol-ha tightly grasped my hand, beaming energetically:
"Kelrot-ssi! Let's do our best!!"
My eyes drifted to her augmented breasts - enlarged to head-size through physique modification at training camp. Her uniform buttons strained dangerously, threatening to pop. A kinky milk scent seemed to waft through the gap in her top.
"If any bastard touches you outside milk extraction duty, tell me. I'll make sure they never do it again."
"Yes! I'll work hard!"
Though she agreed, I knew she wouldn't tell me even if my fears materialized.
A mysterious emerald-haired beauty's massive augmented breasts. Continuously flowing with thick breast milk. No way Oist mercenary bastards would leave Seol-ha alone. They'd surely lust after her body like on the train.
Imagining naked Seol-ha being assaulted by dozens of Oist mercenaries made me shudder. But this wasn't my business anymore.
Joining Special Forces was the best life an illegal immigrant like her could choose. If I interfered and got her expelled, her future would become more miserable.
"Right. Have a good first shift. See you at home."
After sending her off, I headed to Elite Brigade. Numerous signs made locating it easy without asking X.
"This must be it."
A massive saucer-shaped structure stood at the sign's location. At first glance, it resembled a landed flying saucer.
Entering the building, a uniformed android approached.
"Welcome. 13th Brigade Member, Lieutenant Kelrot."
"I'm already a lieutenant?"
Guess Elite Brigade members start as lieutenants.
How did I even get here?
First being attached to Special Forces Battalion, then accidentally crossing Kamyu to end up in Elite Brigade.
"Other brigade members are all present. I'll guide you to the meeting room."
"Yeah, let's go."
Following the guide android toward the meeting room, I felt sudden pressure upon reaching the door. Whether from the place's uniquely tense atmosphere, I felt like a nervous transfer student.
What psychos awaited here? Hopefully saner than Oist mercenaries.
"Screw it. Whatever."
I tightly shut my eyes and pressed the door switch.
Zzziiing-.
As the doors slid open, the meeting room's interior came into view.
Darkness.
They'd been watching a massive screen covering one wall in complete darkness. The seated figures simultaneously turned to stare at me. Eleven pairs of eyes made me feel thoroughly strip-searched.
Only their gleaming pupils were visible in the dark. Though faces remained obscured, their silhouettes revealed wildly diverse appearances.
"Hello."
I awkwardly blurted out greetings. A woman standing before the massive screen giggled and waved:
"Lieutenant Kelrot~, late on your first day? Ask Robin about the briefing since we're mid-important discussion."
That voice. Kamyu.
As my eyes adjusted, I saw Kamyu before the screen - yellow twin-tails, skin-tight bodysuit.
"Kelrot?"
"G-G-Goddess?"
For some reason, a familiar voice came from among the seated brigade members.
