"Yes, her condition is excellent. At this rate, we might be able to finish everything today…."
"That's a relief."
When nearly two weeks had passed, the medical officer gave me this update. Hanna's condition was excellent, and they said that one more visit to the Mana Spring should be enough to complete her awakening. Since this also matched what was written in my [Status Analysis], I nodded happily.
However, as though entering the spring one last time weighed on her, Hanna's expression was strangely dark.
"What's wrong, Corporal Hanna? Once you finish this last session, you can go back. Aren't you happy?"
"…Ah, yes. I have to go back…. When I go back…."
Hanna replied with vacant eyes.
That evening, as expected, only Hanna and I were in the enormous cavern.
"…Lieutenant. My condition feels somehow strange today…. Could you watch over me properly from beginning to end?"
"…? All right, I understand."
I answered without giving it much thought.
'My condition feels strange…? Status Analysis.'
['Status Analysis (Lv.2)' is being used on 'Hanna Meyer'.]
[Name: Hanna Meyer]
[Status: Her mana circulation has reached its peak, making her physical senses extremely acute. Continuous mana stimulation is keeping her in a mild state of arousal.]
[Emotion: The regret of this being the last time, a strong desire to show the lieutenant all of herself, and uncontrollable shame mingled with a strange state of arousal]
'Ah, so that's what this was.'
I quickly understood her intentions, but deliberately kept it to myself.
Having heard my answer, Hanna stood facing me as if she had made up her mind. She slowly began to undress. Her hands were hesitant, but she did not stop.
Her uniform top came off, revealing the contours of her full breasts beneath sweat-dampened underwear. When she removed her trousers, her straight legs and the smooth lines of her thighs came into view.
When only her panties remained, she paused to catch her breath. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she pulled those down as well. They slid down her legs, revealing her vulva covered in dark brown pubic hair.
Now completely naked, she did not enter the spring right away. Still facing me, she opened her mouth.
"…May I go in?"
When I nodded, Hanna slowly walked into the spring. With a splash, the emerald water enveloped her smooth thighs and buttocks and rose past her slender waist to just below her full breasts.
She no longer tried to cover herself. She spread her arms and assumed a posture that let her absorb the mana with her entire body. Her wet shoulders, collarbones, and large breasts rose above the water. The blue light of the mana crystals reflected off her wet skin, making it glow seductively.
It was completely different from before.
The spring's mana no longer forced its way into her. Instead, the emerald mana rippled in response to her gestures. The rough energy that had risen from the spring's surface was nowhere to be found; only streams of mana that wrapped around her body like a gentle river remained.
'Status Analysis.'
[Name: Hanna Meyer]
[Status: Mana awakening complete. The mana circulation within her body has stabilized. Her body has been reconfigured into a form optimized for mana.]
[Emotion: The regret of this being the last time, a strong desire for the lieutenant, and uncontrollable shame mingled with a strange state of arousal]
[Hidden Trait: Mana Detection (Awakening Complete)]
The '(Awakening Complete)' indicator had appeared. She had finally succeeded.
How much time had passed? The light surrounding her gradually subsided. Hanna let out a long breath and leaned against the edge of the spring. Then she slowly walked out of the water.
She no longer tried to cover herself. Water droplets gathered on her collarbones before running down the cleavage between her full breasts. Her nipples stood firm in the cold air, while her pubic hair had darkened with the water.
I could not take my eyes off the sight, and only came to my senses when she reached me.
Her gaze slowly traveled down from my face… and stopped at one particular place.
At the thing bulging through my uniform trousers, engorged with blood and so stiff that it pointed straight up.
Her face flushed bright red in an instant. But she did not look away. Instead, she asked,
"…Lieutenant. That… is it because of me?"
I could not say anything. I had expected Hanna to be in this state, but I had not expected her to approach me so boldly.
"……."
Whatever she took my silence to mean, Hanna slowly knelt before me. Her trembling hand moved toward my belt.
"Corporal Meyer… what are you doing…"
The buckle came undone, and the zipper slid down with a soft rasp. Hanna's hand moved over my underwear and wrapped around my heated cock.
"Please… let me take responsibility."
[The skill 'Strong Mind' is active.]
[It suppresses unnecessary emotional agitation and induces the most efficient thinking.]
[Strong Mind] was suppressing my impulses, but the blood rushing to my groin showed no sign of subsiding. I considered the matter rationally. Sexual misconduct within the unit could very well be punishable.
'But if we don't get caught, what's the harm?'
Once I thought of it that way, all my doubts vanished. There was no reason to hold back in the first place. If our platoon's beautiful squad leader was going to suck me off, why would I refuse?
I silently stroked Hanna's head. Taking it as permission, Hanna's hand moved to the top of my underwear. She caught the waistband and pulled it down without hesitation.
With a soft pop, my cock sprang free, radiating heat. Its blue-veined shaft and glans glistening with pre-ejaculate were exposed starkly beneath the mana crystals' blue light.
"……Huh?"
Hanna's eyes widened in disbelief. Her gaze traveled over my cock from the glans to the end of the shaft. The pure astonishment peculiar to a virgin who had never been with a man was written plainly across her face.
Hanna's breathing grew faster. She swallowed hard, then cautiously… as though handling a holy relic, she wrapped both hands around my cock.
Then she raised her head and met my eyes.
"Lieutenant… I… This is my first time…"
Hanna spoke with an expression as though she might burst into tears from shame.
"…Please forgive me if I make a mistake."
Soon, her red lips parted slightly, and her wet tongue slipped out.
"Haa…♡"
I involuntarily jerked my hips at the sensation of her tongue licking the tip of my glans.
A lewd slurping sound echoed through the cavern. She awkwardly took the head of my cock into her mouth. Heat, in stark contrast to the cold cave air, wrapped around my cock.
'Status Analysis.'
[Emotion: Bursting with shame, intense curiosity and arousal at the unfamiliar act, and a sense of taboo and satisfaction at taking the lieutenant's cock into her mouth]
Since it was her first time, everything was clumsy. Sometimes her teeth bumped against the shaft. She had no technique. She merely stiffened her tongue to tease the tip of the glans and carefully drew it in with her lips.
But her tongue gradually grew bolder. Every now and then, she pressed the sensitive ridge beneath the glans with the tip of her tongue or stimulated it by tracing circles.
"Slurp, slurp…♡"
Wet, squelching sounds filled the cavern. Her mouth was unbelievably hot and soft. Hanna repeatedly tightened her lips around my cock, then relaxed them. I felt a tingling sensation spread all the way to my thighs.
I looked down. Wet brown hair clung to her cheeks. Her round eyes, mingling shame and desire, were fixed on my cock.
I reached behind her head. When I grabbed her soft hair, Hanna's shoulders flinched. Holding her head, I slowly moved my hips.
"Mmph…!"
When I thrust deep into her throat, a muffled scream broke from Hanna. Tears pooled in her eyes, but she did not resist. Instead, she desperately tried to open her throat and take me in time with my movements.
"Haa, haa… I'm at my limit now."
It felt as though all the blood in my body had rushed to my groin.
"Hanna… I'm going to come."
Hanna's movements faltered for a moment. Then, as if determined to take every last drop, she wrapped her arms more tightly around my waist and opened her mouth wider. Her hot mouth clamped down fiercely on my cock.
I couldn't hold back any longer. Tightening my grip on her head, I thrust my hips deep one last time.
"Guh, ngh…!"
Semen spurted deep into her throat. Hanna's body shuddered. Her mouth was filled to overflowing, and white fluid streamed from the corners of her lips.
I slowly pulled my cock free. A sticky silver strand of semen and saliva stretched between the tip of my glans and her lips. Though Hanna coughed, she swallowed everything in her mouth with a gulp.
She looked up at me with a flushed face, and I silently pushed her body backward. I laid Hanna down on the uniform I had removed and left on the floor. Her full breasts, narrow waist, and dark brown pubic hair were clearly exposed.
I knelt between her legs. Realizing my intention, she looked away shyly but spread her legs of her own accord.
Beneath her wet pubic hair, pink flesh shyly came into view. Perhaps aroused by what had just happened, the entrance to her vagina was already slick with lubrication and pathetically clenched.
I gently stroked her wet labia majora with my fingers.
"Hngh…!"
Her body shuddered. I aligned the tip of my glans with her hot entrance. Then I thrust my hips forward without hesitation.
