Chapter 56: Seele: Ugh... Kill Me!

"Because of 300 power stones i have release one more extra chapter with regular chapters" Back to the story

"Ahhh—! Don't look at me—!" Finally realizing what had happened, Seele's face turned crimson as she shouted.

"Seele, I'll never call you by the wrong name again, because you've left a very deep impression on me..." Gu Tang remarked.

"Me too, Gu Tang... I probably won't ever forget this night," Bronya said to Gu Tang, a gentle smile on her face.

"Forget about it, pleaseee—!"

Seele cried out in frustration, her long, fair legs flailing wildly, like a fish struggling on dry land.

Bronya raised an eyebrow: "I advise you not to be so agitated, Seele. After all, your underwear is so... petite. If you move too much, it might end up misaligned or rolled up, and then..."

Seele's legs immediately settled back on the ground, becoming docile once more.

"Damn it..." She pounded the floor angrily, recalling how she had come to own those panties.

She had gone to a lingerie store and asked the clerk for battle-appropriate underwear, and the clerk had recommended this pair...

Now thinking back, the clerk probably misunderstood the meaning of "battle."

All Seele felt now was regret. Why had she been so bewitched as to buy them back then...

"Anyway, let's keep pushing. Gu Tang, grab her legs," Bronya instructed.

Gu Tang nodded, reached out his hands, and firmly grasped Seele's thighs.

"Ugh..." The sensation of his hands on her sensitive skin made Seele let out a few inadvertent moans, which she quickly stifled by covering her mouth.

Although Gu Tang often claimed to be a weak scientist, his hands were large and strong, his palms rough and warm, providing intense stimulation for Seele.

"Haa..." Seele's face turned red, her eyes glazed, biting her knuckles.

Tentatively, she said, "Um... can Bronya do it? I'm not wearing any clothes, and having a guy do this feels a bit..."

"Oh~? Wasn't it you who just confessed and talked about having children? Hmm? How come just a touch on the thigh makes you back off?" Bronya never missed a chance to tease.

"I may not have a maiden's heart, but I do have a sense of shame!" Seele loudly defended herself.

Gu Tang ignored the banter between the two girls, focusing on pushing Seele in.

Sliiide—

The oil on Seele's skin made Gu Tang's hand slide up her thigh.

"Ah! You touched... your hand touched!" Seele buried her face in her arms, trembling.

"Tch, there's some oil. I need to use more force." Gu Tang frowned, gripping Seele's thigh firmly, causing the flesh to bulge out between his fingers.

"Heave-ho!" Gu Tang exerted more force.

Sliiide!

Seele went in.

Only she went in.

Her purple-black panties remained behind.

"Eighty-five... eighty-six... eighty-seven... Hmm, the supplies Dr. Natasha left are plenty. Splitting them between us is more than enough," Bronya said, satisfied after counting the supplies they had taken from the orphanage.

Then she looked at Seele, crouched in a corner, and said with exasperation, "I say, how long are you going to stay there?"

Seele was squatting in the corner, hugging her knees, her eyes vacant: "Shame... such utter shame. Ugh... just kill me..."

Bronya walked over to her and patted her shoulder: "Alright, don't dwell on it. I once did naked yoga in front of Gu Tang."

Wow, she plays wild.

Seele was shocked.

"You've got a big heart. Does that mean broad-mindedness leads to body fat?" Seele murmured, staring at Bronya.

Bronya's face darkened instantly: "I was trying to comfort you!"

"Hmph, a privileged girl like you doesn't need comfort, let alone me," Seele stood up, shaking her hair, trying to appear indifferent.

Except the few red marks on her white thighs were quite conspicuous.

"And where did that guy Gu Tang, who took quite a bit of advantage, go?" Seele looked around, frowning.

...

...

Near the orphanage, Gu Tang was hiding behind a large trash can, cautiously peeking out.

Then, half of Bronya's and Seele's heads slowly appeared on either side of him.

"What are you looking at?" Bronya asked quietly.

Gu Tang: "Shh... look over there."

On the other side of the open space, a figure with white hair seemed to be searching for something.

Seele frowned: "Someone else? This abandoned town is quite busy tonight."

"Hmm... it's too dark here, can't make out any details, not even their gender." Bronya squinted her eyes, then shook her head.

"Approaching recklessly without knowing their identity could be dangerous..." Seele muttered.

Gu Tang took out a grenade: "In times like this, my stun smoke grenade comes in handy."

Whoosh!

He threw the smoke grenade swiftly.

Thud!

The grenade hit the person's head.

The figure collapsed, instantly knocked out.

Seele: "... Where's the smoke?"

Gu Tang: "Just tell me if they're knocked out."

The three of them walked up.

"Eh? It's her..." Seele blinked in surprise.

White hair, red coat, barefoot.

It was the girl who was always with Svarog—Clara.

"Why is Clara here?" Bronya asked in confusion.

"Who knows, let's just extract something first," Gu Tang used Extraction.

[Name: Clara Oil]

[Type: Enhancement Item]

[Level: 4]

[Effect: After use, temporarily gain the 'Mechanical Specialization' skill, Charisma +2, lasts thirty minutes]

[Evaluation: Extracted from Clara, the oil is semi-transparent and very sweet]

"Hey, I've got an idea..." Gu Tang rubbed his chin, looking at the unconscious Clara, "We could use her to threaten Svarog, maybe get him to willingly hand over the memory chip."

"Gu Tang, you're so despicable now!" Seele rebuked righteously.

Bronya sighed: "Let's save that as a last resort. Before that, let's try negotiating with Svarog to get the information."

"If we're going the negotiation route... we need this girl to owe us a favor," Gu Tang mused.

Seele was doubtful: "Are you sure? We knocked her out without any explanation."

"Just need a bit of finesse..."

Gu Tang looked around, speaking slowly.

---------------------------

Clara slowly opened her eyes, regaining consciousness.

Suddenly, her head had hurt, everything went black, and she knew nothing more.

"Ugh... it still hurts a bit," Clara murmured, touching her head.

Then, the scene before her startled her.

Cracked ground, collapsed walls, burning crates...

Clearly, there had been a fierce battle here.

"Huff... huff... you're awake."

Gu Tang, clutching his arm, spoke to the newly awakened Clara, exhaustion evident.

Behind him, Bronya was sitting against a wall, breathing heavily.

Seele lay on the ground, eyes closed, seemingly unconscious.
