PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER

Seeing that Desmond didn’t seem to be paying attention to her, Silvia called him back: “Lieutenant?”

And hearing Silvia call him, Desmond had to stop thinking about his travel plans to hear the rest of Silvia’s report.

“Sorry, continue.”

Then Silvia continued: “As I was saying, after a week clearing the outer edge of the forest near the farming area, the number of mutant beasts has greatly decreased and there have been no sightings for at least two kilometers around; so we can consider our assignment completed.

The captain is waiting for the final report and logistics sent the forms for all the resources assigned to us this week, from vehicles and ammunition to responses and repairs; the head of the logistics department was very insistent about having all the paperwork and receipts in order. ”

Of course, it was one thing to listen to Silvia’s report and another thing to be happy with Silvia’s report, if there was one thing... one thing that Desmond hated about this job, that thing was the paperwork; God knows Desmond was tempted to blow up the logistics department with Sasha’s bombs after hearing the amount of paperwork required.

Silvia on the other hand was used to the expression of agony on Desmond’s face every time he had to do paperwork, because she was usually the bearer of bad news, although if she had to be honest the truth is that she found Desmond’s behavior Pretty cute; it made him look more human.

But Silvia knew that Desmond used to be a very busy man, few people noticed, but Desmond invested a lot of effort in his work especially when it came to security issues related to civilians.

.....

She had also seen him coming to the office early to fix some things beforehand and it was also not uncommon for her to find him exercising when she walked into his office or seeing him in the shooting range practicing with various types of firearms; sometimes Desmond would even take the time to show up at the training area and have sparring or two with the squad members.

The truth was that Silvia even wondered how the hell Desmond found the time and energy to do all of this while he was dating not one but two women; And if what Claire was telling was true... well, Desmond was pretty good at keeping two happy women under the same roof.

Seeing her brave lieutenant on the verge of tears, Silvia couldn’t help but laugh a little before making an offer: “Why don’t you take the day lieutenant? I’ll do the paperwork. ”

Like a religious fanatic looking at his messiah, Desmond looked at Silvia with a renewed gleam in his eyes and said, “Really?”

“Yes, I have nothing to do today anyway; but I will still need you to come in later to sign the papers when I have them ready “Silvia answered.

Desmond could swear that he had never heard such beautiful words as “I will do the paperwork” in his entire life, with renewed spirits Desmond took his things and left his office as if he feared that Silvia would retract from her word.

But perhaps due to his good humor or a matter of habit, when passing by Silvia’s side, Desmond gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, and with a whispered thanks in Silvia’s ear; Desmond left the office in a good mood.

Silvia of course did not expect this intimate action from Desmond so she did not know exactly how to react, the only thing that came from her lips was a: “Damn womanizer”

But it didn’t take to be an empath like Kyuru to have a rough idea of ??what Silvia was feeling at this moment, after all, unless a person was blind they would see Silvia’s completely flushed face and her shy expression; that is the face of a maiden in love.

Unaware of the effects he had on Silvia, Desmond was thinking of giving the girl a promotion ... although the promotion term, in this case, was relative, Desmond now had to find out if it was possible to make Silvia his secretary and if that would be considered a promotion.

After making a mental note on the matter and a possible visit to human resources, Desmond decided to go home or rather needed to go home.

Now that his squad had finished combing the area at the outer edge of the forest, Desmond planned to fulfill his part of his bargain with Athena whom he had visited a few times since.

With that in mind, Desmond went home to pick up Sasha as Kyuru mentioned that she would need the beautiful alchemist to make the harpy’s nest, why? Desmond had no idea, but he trusted the fairy.

Surprisingly the fairy was one of the most trustworthy people Desmond had ever met ... at least 25% of the time, the other 75% of the time Kyuru was just a naughty spoiled girl who was always looking for a way to trick him into buying her more honey.

Remembering the provocative way the fairy ate honey in front of him, Desmond had the sudden urge to stop by to buy a couple more jars of honey; Of course, he would never tell the fairy how erotic his behavior seemed to him... that was assuming the fairy didn’t already know.

Unable to get the image of Kyuru licking the honey off his thighs out of his mind, Desmond made a short run home trying to clear his mind.

Having already discussed the subject previously, Sasha waited patiently for Desmond in the living room while watching a magical girl anime, Claire had gone out today with her friend Melissa who would be transferred to Desmond’s squad in a couple of weeks.

Taking advantage of the fact that they were home alone, Desmond and Sasha spent a brief intimate moment in the living room before heading out into the woods; Although they had to wait a bit before the emotion passed to Sasha as her horns did not stop emitting small, rather striking vermilion flames.

Seeing her flushed face and her embarrassed expression as Sasha desperately tried to put out the vermilion flames in her hair, Desmond thought how lucky he was to have such a pretty girl in his life and wish he could give her all the happiness that she deserved; at the same time deep within him, the conviction to protect his lifestyle and the people around him grew even stronger.
