Chapter 108 – Pass 10.3

How will Knives react to Sumire who suddenly slapped him?

1. ‘You’re the first one to slapp me!’
: Saying that, she hugged her.

2. ‘Attack your boss? I must be punished!’
: Retaliate by tying up her husband her Arnold.

3. Do nothing!
: Literally does nothing.

I felt as if such a choice had appeared before my eyes.

Probably the first route is pure love route, the second route is humiliation route, and the third route is probably route out.

If you are a pure caterpillar, you may choose route 1 unintentionally.
But that’s a trap. It is the NTR route wearing the mask of the pure love route.
If you choose that, NTR will be added to incest harem TS Soon Ae.

Just as a virgin does not come back even if a torn hymen is sewn back together, my pure love has already been contaminated to a level that cannot be purified.
Even so, there is a law that human beings must protect as human beings.
If you are a human being, you should not set foot in adultery pure love or NTR pure love.

Option 2 is the route of humiliation even at first glance.

But that option has a major flaw.
Right now, I am not a soldier, but a civilian, and I am not Sumire’s superior, so assaulting my superiors does not exist.

Due to the nature of the garbage world, it might be possible to do something with civilian assault.
But regardless of whether it is possible or not, it should not be done. More than anything, I don’t want to be beaten to death by Arnold.

Naturally, there were only three options left for me.
He had no intention of touching a married woman who was even married.
Above all, it’s not like that with Sumire.

I feel the passage of time as I follow Sumire’s buttocks that sway from side to side whenever she walks.
Back then, Sumire was still young. Because she was the same age as Hina now.
You’re all grown up now Alas, the years are impermanent.

But if you think about it, it was a strange thing.
Why did Sumire talk like they had a special relationship with me?
People who saw the situation might misunderstand it as a love affair, but Sumire and I don’t have that kind of relationship. I was only 10 years old when I first met Sumire.

My relationship with Sumire is only helping her when she was about to be assaulted, punishing the ringleaders, or caring for the other victims.
She was also involved in the operation, but it can be affirmed that there was no room for her romantic feelings her to intervene.

Oh, and ‘Care’ refers to a program that heals the trauma of suffering from androphobia by staying close to child soldiers. After all, if you go through something like that, you’ll be more comfortable with the kids than the adult men.
Child soldiers who were “Harmless to women,” Like me and Yuuki, participated in such programs as well. I would say it is close to animal therapy.

As Sumire and I approached, the guards saluted nervously. For some reason, it was toward me, not Sumire.

Sumire passed the barricade quietly, not paying attention to her sentry her.
Sumire doesn’t say anything, so what should I say? I smiled embarrassingly at the sentries and followed Sumire into her unit her.

Sumire, who was walking in front of her, glanced back at her and said,

“Colonel. Do you need a tower guide?”

Even though it was a flat tone, it felt somehow chilly.
I answered with a little hesitation.

“Oh, no, that’s fine. Oh, if you need to monitor it, attach it.”
“You don’t have to. However, from the 6th floor, it is under the management of the Muramasa division, so please only go to the 1st to 5th floors.”
“Yes? Uh ok That means up to the fifth floor.”

I followed Sumire into a commander’s room in the barracks. Could this be Sumire’s private room?
A subordinate who was preparing something saw Sumire and saluted. It was an adjutant I met briefly earlier.

“If the Colonel is with us, there will be no problem. General Inazuma also has permission, so I will give you instructions so that you can pass freely from now on.”

Sumire sits at his desk and writes the purpose and signature on each card the size of his palm.
It was an access card for outsiders worn around the neck.

“But please come back before the date is over. It can be confusing when the staff is switched.”
“Ah Okay.”

After receiving the three passes from Sumire, she awkwardly nodded.

There were many things I wanted to ask Sumire about.
The recent situation of old acquaintances, the situation in the military, and other personal stories such as the pure love story with Arnold. If you want to say everything you want to say, you probably won’t be able to stay up all night.

However, Sumire’s tone was so businesslike that it was difficult to bring up such a private conversation. Right now, just talking like this made me feel like I was sitting on a cushion of thorns.

“And…… I apologize for touching your face.”
“Yes? Oh no, it’s okay Things like that happen, too. I was wrong too.”

Sumire’s slapping rune also had the effect, so it was quite painful.
I still don’t know what I’ve done wrong, but I’m not stupid enough to reveal it all in front of a woman. If he was able to quench his old grudge with just that one, he would have struck cheaply.

“No matter how unreasonable and senseless the colonel said, he was once a direct superior. I would like to think that the former adjutant is foolish and forgive me with the same slap in the cheek.”
“Haha…… Hearing that, I really want to hit him.”

It was Sumire who was good at making a twisting sound with an expressionless face.

Did I say something so absurd and senseless?
It was unknown.

“That’s okay, just don’t let the generals hear that I came. I’ll just ask for that.”
“Yeah, that’s about it.”

As Sumire glanced at her adjutant, her aide she gave her a small nod.

Phew. I think I can feel a little more at ease now.
There is nothing more troublesome than a person who cannot communicate with words and who cannot be defeated by force.

“Thank you, I was wondering if I ran into Inazuma.”
“Please shine your face at least once. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
“No, it’s okay. I don’t want to be taken by force again.”

Still, I was able to laugh and joke with Sumire at the end.
It’s best to get along well.

“Tsubaki, guide her companions her. Tell the other guards about the tour guide.”
“Yes. Please follow me.”
“Thank you, Sumire. See ya.”

When I waved her hand and said hello, Sumire responded with a silent bow.

“Phew.”

Coming out of her private room, she could barely breathe.
There is nothing more fearful and unreasonable than a woman’s anger. She didn’t even do what she wanted to do. It’s an unfair thing to do.

Follow Sumire’s lieutenant and move to the break room on one side of the barracks.

The adjutant was still a lieutenant, so even his walking posture her was sharp.
It must have been a while since she graduated from the academy and entered the hospital. Come to think of it, she was a senior to me in that she was an academy graduate.

I calmly followed him, but the adjutant who was leading the way suddenly opened his mouth.

“Is the Colonel KW I know, by any chance?”
“Yes? Uh, maybe that’s right? Even if there were people with the same initials, I was the only colonel.”
“Also.”

The adjutant turned round and put his hand in his inner pocket with a hard expression.
Yes? Couldn’t he just pull out his pistol and say something like, ‘I’m sorry, but I’ll have to die here’?

Contrary to concerns, what the adjutant took out of his arms was his was a terminal that looked like a smartphone.
No, it’s just a smartphone.

“Please give me your autograph.”
“Sign? Is it a contract?”
“No. Autograph please.”
“Ah. Autograph.”

All she wanted was a sign in the pure sense.
I thought it was something like a confidentiality memorandum because of his hard expression.

And although my appearance is exotic, I have never been to an English-speaking country.
Don’t talk like a foreigner who can’t understand Japanese.

“Thank you.”

When the sign was drawn and returned, the adjutant politely received it with both hands.

I’m not even an idol, but the day when I sign autographs for others is coming.
The adjutant’s expression was still hard, but his heart was colored with pure joy.

“By the way, you don’t want to use that sign for anything strange, do you?”
“Yes. It is for simple collection. Colonel KW is an idol among some soldiers.”

Are you a real idol?
If he hadn’t read his mind of her, he might have suspected behind-the-scenes work.

“I look forward to the day when we will serve in the military together under the colonel.”
“… Ha ha…… Please don’t say such scary things.”

A vague smile appeared on the adjutant’s face of her, which had only felt stiff.
But I couldn’t laugh at all.

“Knives!”
“Sister.”

In the break room, my sister and Shinoshino were sitting in their seats, waiting impatiently.
As soon as my sister saw me, she jumped up from her seat.

“You, those cheeks!”

And first, he pointed to my cheek, which had been slapped by Sumire.
It seems that even the marks of his palms were left as if he had been beaten so hard.

“Ah. This? No big deal.”
“Nothing! Who did you hit?”
“That…… Anyway, it’s nothing, so don’t worry about it. I got hit by mistake too. Because I’m done talking.”

When I said it with an awkward smile, my sister kept her mouth shut.

“You were right about sexual harassment. If that’s the case, I’m glad it ended with a slap on the cheek.”

It’s not like that.

“Hmph, I must have been hit by sexual harassment as usual anyway. I respect the consistency that does not waver even against soldiers.”

No.

Why do they both assume that I must have been sexually harassed? There is no young man with good conduct like me.
It’s unfortunate, but making excuses from the bottom of your heart only complicates the story. I gave up and decided to get to the point.

“Uh hmm. Let’s go up anyway. I also got a pass.”

Hang necklace-type passes around the necks of my sister and Shinoshino, respectively.
For some reason, it looked more like an employee ID than a pass.

“Are we going to the Rune Tower by ourselves?”
“Yes. They say you can go around as you please until midnight.”
“Are you okay? If you get hurt.”
“It’s okay. Didn’t you say you’ve been here before? I know where everything comes from. All you have to do is trust me and follow me.”

To reassure my sister, I shouted loudly with a bluff.
The plan is perfect. I also came up with a separate strategy for my sister to level up quickly.

Faster, stronger, more efficient.
Because that is the destiny of kimchi gamers.

“Whoa.”

Shinoshino was silently resolving as she tightly gripped the scabbard of her mourning daylight.

『I am reborn today.』

Shinoshino.
I’m sorry I’m in form, but it might not be your turn today.
