"Y-You can’t be serious! Let me go!" Rea shouted. "I said let me go!"

The Paru stared at her for a moment, scratched his chin, and turned to his right.

"Thanks for the help." He said while patting Lith’s head.

"Untie me! Right now!"

Unfortunately for her, no matter how much she struggled, Rea couldn’t free herself from the restraints.

She had been placed on one of the seats inside Lith’s cell. One of the seats that Cero and Lith use during take-off or landing. The belts around her were too tight for her to move much. Additionally, her arms and hands had been tied too.

"This is just to make sure nothing goes wrong. You know… While you’re high."

"You don’t need to tie me to make sure!"

"Having experienced it… I think it’s better if you’re tied up." Cero sighed. "Anyways, I’ll come check on you later."

"HUH? YOU’RE NOT EVEN STAYING WITH ME?"

"It will probably take a while for it to hit anyways…"

"So what?! Leaving me alone is so fucked up."

"You’re not alone." The Paru said with a confused voice. "Lith is here."

"SHE DOESN’T COUNT!!"

"Sure she does." Cero sighed as he shook his head. "Lith, take care of her, alright?" He patted her head before pointing at a large glass jar filled with water. "If she seems thirsty, can you give her some water as well? Like this… You pour it, and then-"

"I DON’T WANT IT!" Rea shouted as the cup filled with water approached her mouth.

He pressed his lips together, and so did Lith.

"Anyways, you got this, right?"

"Uwa!" Lith exclaimed as she raised a fist up towards the ceiling.

"Alright." Cero clapped his hands together as he turned back towards Rea. "You’re in good hands."

"AS IF I WOULD BELIEVE THAT… HEY! DON’T GO!!"

Moments later, Cero was out of the vault.

"I can’t believe this… I’m about to trip balls and…" Rea rolled her eyes at Lith. "I’m stuck with you? This is so fucked… You’re so random and weird… That’ll probably only make the trip worse!"

Lith scratched her chin for a moment, before walking towards the jug of water, eager to test what Cero had shown her.

"I DON’T WANT IT!"

The female Granilith frowned at the sudden shout.

His first woman offers another water, and the latter dares shout at her?

"I’m not thirsty, alright? Just let me-"

Rea’s words were cut short as she was splashed by the water that used to fill the cup.

"YOU FUCKING…!"

The onslaught of curses continued for a while.

Lith remained standing with her arms crossed, shaking her head while clicking her tongue haughtily.

’We got turned on at the same time… And she understood me right away.’ The Paru thought to himself as he walked out of the vault. ’Yes, she immediately understood that I was referring to our rooms, and chose hers… Well, I guess this isn’t the first time we talk about whose room we’re meeting in… This isn’t the first time we communicate without talking as well.’ Cero chuckled to himself. ’Looks like we’re finally getting to do it in a room, and on a bed…’ RаꞐŐᛒËs

A couple of minutes later, he pushed the door to Raya’s room open, and found her wearing her underwear and nothing else.

"That was something, yesterday." Liz sighed. "It was too much. Way too much."

"I…" Roka took a pause, staring into the horizon. "Don’t remember anything.

Both were standing beyond the spaceship’s retractable ramp.

The sun hung high in the sky.

"You really don’t?"

The Commander turned towards her Soldier with a serious and solemn expression.

"Absolutely not."

"Well, you could barely walk. You were slurring your words. It was… Undignified."

"Hm… I see. Anything in particular that I did?"

"Well, you barfed a couple of times."

"I did not!"

"You did… Commander." Liz said as she looked away. She felt the need to refer to Roka as -Commander- so as not to make it seem like she had lost respect for her. The thought of that hadn’t even crossed Roka’s mind, as she trusted Liz a lot. Still, Liz was the kind to worry about such details. "You, um…"

"T-Tell me everything." Roka tried to sound as dignified and calm as possible, but that level of embarrassment was tough to hide.

"Well, it was once we were back inside the ship."

"I see… There wasn’t anyone inside, right? You got me inside while the others were outside, right?"

"..."

"Right?"

Liz rubbed her forehead silently for a bit.

"Everyone was inside. Well, except for Raya, Cero, and… I think that’s it."

"Cero, huh?"

"Yeah. That’s his name."

Roka frowned for a moment, before shaking his head.

"D-Did I barf in front of everyone?"

"No. I managed to separate us from Rea and the others once I noticed that you were… Unwell."

"Where did I…?"

"In your room. Three times."

"..."

"I had to clean it up. The first time, you started before getting into your room so-"

"Okay, I get it." Roka nodded, trying to maintain as serious an expression as she could. "Thank you, seriously."

"You don’t need to thank me. It’s only natural." Liz scratched her head and turned towards the horizon. "Cleaning up vomit wasn’t exactly how I expected my night to end but…"

"How were you expecting it to end?"

"..." Liz pursed her lips, staring into the horizon.

She remembered Cero’s words from the night before.

’Hm…’ Liz turned slightly in Roka’s direction, staring at her from the corner of her eye. ’He likes her… Well, I like Roka too but… Hm… He likes her differently than I do. No, in more ways than I do, I guess. Hm…’

You do get a say in the matter.

Liz turned fully towards the Commander.

"Say, Roka…"

"Yes," Roka turned towards her as well. "What is it?"

"What do you think about Cero?"

"..." Roka frowned slightly, her gaze moving to the right, then to the left. "Huh?"
