Chapter 144: Her Soft Side

“Oh…” The Paru tossed something into the air so that it would fall right behind him, right in front of Roka’s eyes. “You mean this?”

Her eyes widened as she saw it fall and quickly reached to take hold of it.

“You…” Her tone filled with disbelief and stupefaction. “You… MANAGED TO TAKE IT?? WHEN? HOW? WHA-”

“Seriously? Seriously, seriously?” Roka asked repeatedly, hopping from one spot to another while staring at the Tsero Crystal in her hands. “Is it a real one? A real Tsero Crystal? For real, for real?”

The Paru scratched his cheek.

“Yeah.”

“You’re lying! Haha! You’re lying to me, aren’t you? This is an elaborate joke, right? There’s no way! Hahaha! We were just… We were just…” Roka’s gaze moved back to the Crystal between her hands. “Is it a-”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake.” The Paru cursed as he rolled his eyes. “Yes, it is. For the hundredth time. It is.”

“But how? When? What did you…? Are you sure you didn’t confuse it with-”

“Ugh. Just… Let’s just go. Raya can probably confirm that it is a Tsero Crystal.”

“Yes…” Roka muttered, her gaze lingering on the Crystal. “Raya can probably confirm…” Her gaze moved back to the Paru. “So did you really manage to take it?”

The Paru rubbed his eyes.

“Yes.” He sighed. “I did as soon as the Giganto Zilla ended up attacking it. Well, I moved towards right away while keeping an eye on you.”

“Right away? But what if those ejected by the Crystal hit you?” Roka took a seat on the ground, and lay the Tsero Crystal in front of her. To me it just… Felt like you had disappeared. Taken cover somewhere…” She kept moving her head from one side to the other, as if changing the angle from which she saw the Crystal could tell her some additional information about it.

“No. I went towards it, taking the path that the Crystal’s… Shot, created. It made a clear path for me to get to it. A clear and open one.”

“But didn’t you think it was likely that that same path would get shot on again? That’s why the Tsero were going there, isn’t it? I mean… That was dangerous.”

“Not really.” The Paru scratched his head. “I’ve heard many times already that the way a Tsero Crystal reacts is random. Well, depends on so many variables that it might as well be random. If anything, taking a path it had already shot through felt like the safer choice, even though that’s false statistically. And, in any case, I had a way of dealing with it, even if it where to shoot at me. Like you saw at the end.”

“Yes…” Roka muttered.

She grabbed the Tsero Crystal into her hands and moved it around some more.

“So it’s really a Tsero Crystal?”

“It is.”

“It doesn’t… Feel like one.” Roka’s eyes narrowed. “I’m not sure why. I mean… I understand and trust your words, but I just… Can’t exactly…”

“Mm…” The Paru turned away, scratching his neck. “Maybe that’s because it doesn’t smell like blood.”

“…” Roka raised her gaze towards him, but remained silent.

“Because no one had to die to get it.” He shrugged without turning around. “Anyways, I told you that I would handle it, and I did.” The Paru started turning around. “Your mission is-”

His sentence was interrupted as, once he had turned halfway towards her, he found Roka not on the ground where she had been, but in the air.

Thump!

“Ugh…!” The Paru’s back and bottom hit the ground.

“You’re amazing! Amazing!” Roka shouted, her eyes wide and sparkling. “You did it! You really did it! Holy shit! Thank you! Thank you so fucking much!” She shouted while hugging him tightly, burying his face in her breasts. “No additional deaths! And we got the Tsero Crystal! Our people…” Roka pulled back, showing the Paru the brightest smile he had ever seen. “Our people… Will be able to survive!” She shouted, tightening her arms around him again.

She was lying on top of him, and the Paru could feel his face melting into her breasts.

‘Now is… The right time to think about that?’

Roka unwrapped her arms from around him, and took hold of the Tsero Crystal, extending her arms in front of her, and staring at it with bright eyes.

“No one… Had to die!”

She stared at the Tsero Crystal, holding it with both hands, lying on the Paru’s body, with her large and soft breasts on his face.

‘If you stay like this… I might suffocate.’ He thought to himself silently. Only a fool would say it out loud. Being suffocated by such a beauty wasn’t the worst way to go. ‘Beats being eaten by a Giganto Zilla, or impalled by a Tsero’s horns….’

“Seriously…” Roka muttered as she pulled back, laying on her hands on his cheeks. “That was more than amazing. As the Commander, I can’t thank you enough for that. You saved us… Again and again. And now… You made our whole mission worthwhile. Thanks to you… Billions of people will be able to live freely.”

“Hm…” The Paru stared at her blushing face and at her beautiful smile. “Is there a reward that comes from that?”

Roka remained silent for a second too long, which made the Paru feel like his joke wasn’t as good as it sounded in his head.

“Ha! I’ll make sure you get a huge reward!”

‘Sounds… Hot.”

Roka pulled back further, and pushed herself off him.

“You’ve saved our people.” Roka explained. “No matter what it is, you will get it. Money, riches, and… I don’t know! Anything! Anything is yours!!” She shouted with a smile, before taking a hop and turning away, holding the Tsero Crystal to the sky. “Holy fucking shit! You really did it! You really, really did!”

The Paru watched her silently for a moment.

‘I feel like a pervert for thinking that the reward would be… Something else.’

“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Roka celebrated, raising the Tsero Crystal up and bringing it down repeatedly.

The Paru’s lips curled upwards.

‘The cold Commander does have a soft side, looks like.’
