The Captain's Suspicion
"May I come in?"
I could feel just how tense Tia was with Riana, the captain of the Seongyul Knights, standing right in front of her—the urgency transmitted straight to my body through the tight clench of her pussy.
"Captain! If you'd just called, I would've come right away…."
"Hehe, but you're supposed to be recuperating, aren't you?"
Riana laughed good-naturedly before thrusting in sharply.
"Without even my permission."
"…I'm sorry."
"I've come to check on your condition. You'll let me in, right?"
She drove the wedge in deep, making it impossible to refuse. The Recovery Center was already being built up as a tentacle hatchery. Welcoming the kingdom's knight captain as a guest into a place like that? Normally, I'd have to block her somehow, no matter what. But….
The opponent was Riana, captain of the Seongyul Knights. With this woman, you couldn't buy time just by playing it cool. I'd left Tia at a high level even while thinking of her as an efficient baby factory because I knew a moment like this would come someday. Tia could serve as a communication bridge connecting me and Riana.
'If things go south, we can fight back together.'
If seventy percent of the hatchery's forces were me and Tia right now, it was like I'd thrown everything into reconnaissance. Since I was inside her pussy.
I recalled the time when Tia and I had discussed countermeasures.
…….
……
"Chokgoe, if you could transfer your consciousness, couldn't you split off part of your body and hide it where no one could find it?"
"No, that won't work."
Consciousness transfer carried way too much risk. Splitting the body was the same. I'd done it back then out of desperation, but what actually happened? Eight years! In human terms, I'd spent eight years in a coma inside Glova's esophagus. Next time, it could be twenty, thirty years. There was even a chance I wouldn't wake up at all in the distant future. If the main consciousness rotted away in a place without nutrients, it'd be as good as dead.
"If you're at the point of trying that, you're basically dead already."
"Even if something happens to my body, Chokgoe… I want you to be safe."
"Don't say that. You think I'd let you die?"
"Chokgoe…!"
Tia hugged me tight, like I was a doll. Squish, squish. Kinda embarrassing.
"What you're hugging right now is me. The one and only body of the Chokgoe in the world."
"Yes, I know. Chokgoe's scent… your feel… nothing's changed."
"Tia, you're my one and only motherboard in the world too, so let's live together."
"Yes!"
"This is an all-or-nothing gamble."
I didn't have multiple lives. The goddess had reconnected me once, but after that, I'd just been clinging on stubbornly, sometimes getting lucky. Against humans, that murder-crazed species, I owned, I killed, sometimes even romanced… and powered through this world with everything I had. Even deep inside Tia's pussy, dying meant it was all over—the conditions were the same.
……Right now.
I was just as scared as Tia, facing off against the knight captain.
"I'm scared too, Tia."
Tia snapped to attention.
"But I'll be with you."
Squeeze, squeeze.
"…Tia? Are you listening?"
"Let her in."
"Yes. I'll show you to the guest room."
Tia overcame her fear with the deep warmth connecting us and stood straight before Captain Riana. I needed to muster my courage too. The final boss was Claire. To cut off that damn White Flame once and for all, I had to settle things. But….
Honestly, her power surpassing even Siroko scared me. I needed Riana. If I could get my hands on her, I figured I could reach Claire.
"Please, have a seat, Captain."
"Where are the other knights?"
Having sex in the underground hatchery. They'd just gotten the news and were preparing to come out.
'She still doesn't trust Tia, huh.'
The way she asked for Peyuri right after sitting down was blatant.
"They're resting. They all took a big shock, so…."
"I read the report. You were cornered, so rescuing the knights and escaping was the best you could do?"
"Yes."
"Be careful. She's probing for gaps in your story."
"But the Baekhwa Knights say they didn't get any help from you when fighting the tentacle monster. What happened?"
"We fired support shots during the engagement, but they failed."
"And that's why you blew off that Baekhwa vice-captain's arm."
"……Yes."
It's fine. Unless she was grasping at straws to find fault, she couldn't spot any contradictions.
"The order's best sniper, and you miss your target… How curious."
"She's nitpicking. Don't engage."
No matter how sharp Riana was, it wasn't easy to find holes in a story we'd all aligned beforehand. The same would hold if she asked the others. Every Seongyul Knight who'd fought in the sewer battle that day was on my side—pussy livestock.
"I'm sorry."
"Lift your head. I have no intention of disciplining you."
Why is this woman smiling?
"The people Tia rescued total twelve, including Peyuri, right?"
"Yes."
"That's strange. Sixteen from Seongyul went in as support."
Tia flinched.
"Why is there no report on the three who vanished?"
Right. Some died too. The dead don't talk, so I hadn't worried about it.
Riana, you've already finished the on-site investigation.
In that case….
"She won't have found the bodies. Make something up."
"They got separated in the battle… and I haven't seen them since."
"You didn't include it in the report because you forgot?"
"I must not have realized. I'm sorry."
It was a lame excuse, honestly. But since Tia was on my side, killing a few troublemakers was no big deal. From Riana's perspective, though, forgetting fellow knights had died? If she'd trusted Tia, she'd be hugely disappointed.
'But it doesn't matter.'
Riana didn't trust Tia. We knew we were under suspicion. But since Tia was human, same order as her, Riana couldn't cross the line. She couldn't just stab first like she was subjugating a monster.
If a subordinate who'd always handled things well not only missed a fatal mistake but also omitted missing knights from the report… "I was out of it" wouldn't cover it.
"I see."
Riana let it slide.
"Then Tia wouldn't know."
"Pardon?"
"Why there were marks of a holy sword on the corpses."
…….
"Gasp."
Tia and I froze simultaneously. She found the… bodies?
I'd been there too, but the site was a mess from Tia and Boni's fight. Walls and ceilings collapsed in places. With all the chaos, there shouldn't have been clues pinpointing it as Seongyul's battlefield. Even with modern heavy equipment, a few days of digging wouldn't reveal what was under the rubble.
Yet if Riana had used some method to find them, why start with "the three who vanished"?
'Did she bait us?'
"The reason I came here."
"……Yes…."
Tia's voice was already shrinking. Damn. Now I got how she felt. This woman's grilling, her unblinking, eerie gaze—it made even me shiver inside her pussy.
"Is because I suspect there might be a traitor among us."
"…A trai…tor? Because of the holy sword marks on the bodies…?"
"If not, why would you turn your blade on a comrade?"
"…Yes."
"Tia, your heart rate's spiking. Calm down."
It might be unreasonable to stay composed in this situation, but…!
"To think… something like that happened and I didn't know…."
Fortunately, Tia melted her trembling voice into the moment perfectly.
Riana stared at her intently.
"I'm sorry, Captain."
"All you do is apologize, Vice-Captain Tia."
"It's all my fault. Please… discipline me."
"Hehe. I told you, I have no intention of going that far."
Scary bitch. She knew we'd turned, so what did discipline even mean? It almost sounded like she was saying that outright.
If I'd been the one sitting here talking instead of Tia, I'd probably have spurted three times in a row and popped off prematurely like a loser. Riana's points pierced our flesh one by one, razor-sharp.
'Does she know everything and is pressuring us to come clean?'
If she was certain Tia had betrayed her, was she after my main body's location?
"Praga, come in and lighten the mood."
I hurriedly called for backup.
"Excuse me."
Pragaria's soft voice broke the world's most terrifying silence after three minutes in our room.
"Oh? And you are?"
"Pragaria. Director of the Recovery Center."
"You're the doctor?"
Riana dropped the scary tone she'd used to grill Tia moments ago and switched to a melting, coquettish laugh.
"Sorry for barging in without notice. You must be startled."
"I heard about the knights. It's only natural for the captain to worry and visit. I brought some tea—please have some."
Praga smoothly served the tea she'd prepared in advance to Tia and Riana.
"It's a calming blend."
"Thank you."
"Good job, Praga."
Let's catch our breath and think. She was alone anyway. We'd lose in an open fight, sure, but there were plenty of ways to punish Riana for crawling into our lair solo. One of them being….
Tea loaded with plenty of paralyzing fluid! Cowardly? Dirty? Where else was there a surefire method like this? I'd personally squeezed out this paralyzing fluid at over level 1,000. One drop on the tongue guaranteed an hour of immobility. More than enough time to grab that big ass elegantly perched on the sofa, flip her over, and pump her pussy full of seed in a mating press. Simple but effective plan!
Poison disguised as hospitality!
"Thank you, Praga."
Tia drank hers naturally. Riana just stared at her teacup.
"Captain?"
"……."
Suspicious after all? Well, we'd just had that conversation….
If she was paranoid enough to suspect Tia for years just because she'd been captured by the Chokgoe eight years ago, she could suspect Pragaria for the same reason.
But.
Surprisingly, Riana picked up the cup defenselessly.
"Looks delicious. Cheers."
…No way?
Was it really going this smoothly? Could I neutralize her so easily with paralyzing fluid? Did captain-level have antidotes or something?
'No, no, it's my secretion. It has to work.'
Libia from Seongyul couldn't resist it either. Tia had approved the plan to spike the tea. Learning holy arts didn't turn your body monstrous.
'It'll… work just fine!'
Riana's pretty lips parted. Drink! Drink and get pinned under me for creampie mating press…!
"Ladies?"
Praga and Tia flinched.
"If you stare like that… I'll be too embarrassed to drink."
…….
Riana set the cup down without drinking. I felt played…. I'd never thought watching someone drink tea was weird until she pointed it out. Even I hadn't.
Assassination wasn't for amateurs. Tia and Praga weren't the type to pull dirty tricks like this regularly, so of course they'd fumble.
"Doctor, I hear our knights are under your care. May I see their conditions?"
"Well…."
Praga rolled her eyes.
…It's over. No point talking more—Riana wouldn't slip up. Show her Boni.
"It's fine."
Once she saw Peyuri herself… she'd realize she couldn't seize control.
Riana suspected Tia at near-black levels. But she'd still come here… to see Boni Peyuri, whom she'd ordered to monitor Tia. She thought she could talk to her and get intel.
No need for words. Just show her my handiwork.
Peyuri and the knights who soon opened the door and entered… all waddled in awkwardly, their bellies swollen like full-term pregnant women.
