What Hanna Does Best

Come in.

As I answered in a low voice, the door opened softly. With the corridor's dim light behind her, a shadow entered the room. It was Hanna.

Without taking her eyes off mine, she quietly reached behind her, closed the door, and locked the bolt without hesitation. The small click rang unusually loudly.

She looked different from usual. Her brown hair, loose as though she had just washed it, fell seductively to her shoulders. She carried the clean scent of soap, and a few strands clung precariously to her smooth nape and collarbones.

Instead of her stiff combat uniform, she wore casual clothes. The thin white sleeveless shirt, apparently a supply-issued garment, clung lightly to her damp skin, tantalizingly revealing her contours. Her short gray shorts did nothing to conceal the smooth lines of her legs from the thighs down.

"……."

She silently approached and stood beside my bed. My eyes, accustomed to the darkness, clearly made out her figure. Her wet hair glimmered in the faint light, and the rounded contours beneath her thin shirt rose and fell with her breathing.

I reached out and pulled her by the wrist. She collapsed into my arms with a small moan. The sensation was far softer and warmer than I expected. The scent of soap mingled with her sweet fragrance, making my head swim.

"Lieutenant…."

Her voice trembled faintly. Instead of answering, I gently stroked her back. A thought crossed my mind. This was the perfect opportunity to test my new skill.

"Are you nervous?"

At my question, she gave a small nod.

"A little…. But because I'm with you, Lieutenant… I'm happy."

I smiled faintly and focused my attention on the hand stroking down her lower back.

'Touch of Tuning.'

Ding—

[The skill 'Touch of Tuning (Lv.1)' is activated.]

Through my palm, I felt the energy flowing inside her. Its flow was quite different from my biological energy. A clear, warm force circulated through her body like a placid spring. Perhaps because she was a mana awakener, its breadth and depth were both far greater than mine.

'I'll start with healing.'

I interfered with her energy flow, intending to stabilize it.

[The target's biological energy is stabilized.]

"Haa…."

The strength drained from Hanna's body in my arms. Her shoulders, which had been rigid with tension, relaxed softly, and she rested her cheek against my chest with a contented sigh.

"…Lieutenant, whenever I'm by your side… my body becomes languid and warm. Even now… it feels like I'm taking a nap in a pasture on a sunny day…."

It was almost like a sleep-talking whisper. Apparently, she mistook the skill's effects for something caused by being beside me.

'What a good girl.'

I lightly stroked the hair by Hanna's temple, then moved to the next step. This time, I stimulated the energy flow minutely to induce pleasure. It felt like tickling a spring with a feather.

[The target's senses are heightened, inducing slight pleasure.]

"Hnn…!"

Her relaxed body suddenly shuddered. A small moan slipped between her lips. Startled, she slightly raised her upper body and looked up at me.

"Just now… what did you do to my back…?"

'Status Analysis.'

[Name: Hanna Meyer]

[Emotion: Embarrassment at the sudden pleasure, but a powerful desire to become more deeply connected with the Lieutenant]

'It worked.'

The skill's effect was unmistakable. This should work on Seraphina too. At the very least, next time she had an attack like earlier, I wouldn't be completely helpless.

The test was over. The skill also had a function that induced pain, but I couldn't bring myself to test that on her.

I gave Hanna, who was still looking at me in bewilderment, a sly smile.

"Your back…? This hardly seems like the time to worry about that."

I lifted her chin and pressed my lips to hers. Her lips were moist.

"Mmph…."

With a small moan, her lips parted slightly. I didn't let the opening go to waste and slipped my tongue inside. Her tongue jerked in surprise at the sudden intrusion. I gently enveloped and entwined it as it tried to flee, thoroughly exploring her hot mouth.

I traced her soft palate, gently teased the inside of her cheek, and guided her inexperienced tongue. At first, stiff and unsure what to do, it soon clumsily entwined with mine, desperately following my movements. A delicate moan escaped from her throat.

Wet, slurping sounds rang sensuously through the darkness. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pressed our bodies flush together. After our lips explored each other for a long while, they finally parted with a reluctant sound. A short, sticky silver thread mixed with saliva stretched between her swollen red lips and mine before snapping.

"Haa, haa…."

Hanna panted heavily, her eyes unfocused. I gently caressed her body and whispered by her ear.

"You got good at sucking me off after only two tries, but you're still clumsy at kissing, huh?"

My teasing made her shoulders jerk. Her face, already bright red, turned an even deeper crimson, seemingly without limit. Her flustered stammering was quite a sight.

"I-I…! Th-that was…!"

'Status Analysis.'

[Name: Hanna Meyer]

[Emotion: Extreme shame, embarrassment at an undeniable fact, and a strong desire to please the Lieutenant even more]

'As expected.'

Seeing [A strong desire to please the Lieutenant even more] in the status window made me smirk inwardly. What an endearing thought.

"It's all right. I can teach you this too."

Without giving her time to respond, I claimed her lips again. This time, it was much more persistent and intense than before. At the same time, my hand did not remain idle. My hand slid from her back and stroked upward along the smooth flank exposed beneath the thin sleeveless shirt.

"Hnn…!"

Her body flinched and trembled as she tried to pull away, but I held her waist even more firmly, leaving her no room to escape. My fingers slipped beneath her sleeveless shirt. I moved them slowly along her ribs, then finally reached the soft curve of her breast.

"W-wait… Lieutenant…♡"

A moan escaped between her lips. Ignoring it, I squeezed her breast through the bra cup. It felt soft and resilient in my palm. I slowly traced the edge of the cup with my thumb.

"Hnngh… ngh…!"

Her body shuddered. Her breathing grew so ragged that she could no longer continue kissing, and she rested her forehead against my shoulder. I whispered into her flushed ear.

"Do you like this more than kissing?"

Without stopping, I moved the hand teasing her breast lower. When it passed her slender waist and reached the waistband of her short pants, Hanna's body stiffened again with tension.

"N-no… not there…."

I ignored her and pressed my palm firmly against the fabric of her shorts. Along with the feel of her dense pubic hair, I sensed the heat rising beneath it. I extended my fingers and teased her cleft through the fabric. Soon, I vividly felt the thin cloth grow damp beneath my fingertips.

"Haa—h, hnng…! Ah, ah…♡"

Her legs trembled, and she leaned against my thighs as though collapsing. She no longer even seemed capable of resisting, merely leaving her whole body to my touch as she panted breathlessly.

I whispered into her ear once more.

"Now it's your turn, isn't it?"

Hanna's ragged breathing stopped for a moment. She looked up at me blankly. Beyond her pleasure-clouded gaze, she seemed to be desperately turning over the meaning of my words.

"…Ah."

At last, a short gasp escaped her lips. The light of realization, followed by deep shame, colored her face.

With her legs trembling, she barely managed to move. Then she slowly knelt before me. Her wet hair spilled forward over her shoulders and tickled the collarbones exposed above her thin shirt.

She raised her head and looked up at me. Along with shame, a strange heat lingered in her eyes.

"…Corporal Hanna Meyer."

She murmured quietly.

"From now on… I'll make you happy, Lieutenant… with what I do best…."

Her hand moved toward the buckle of my uniform trousers. With a metallic click, the buckle came undone and the zipper slid down. She stared for a moment at the hot shape beneath my underwear, then extended her hand as if she had made up her mind.

My underwear came down. My cock sprang free with the heat that had been held back. Veins stood out blue along the shaft, and the glans was slick with pre-cum. Hanna stared at it for a moment with an indescribable look, then lowered her head.

"Haa—mph…♡"

A hot, wet sensation shot through my lower abdomen. It was entirely different from the clumsy tongue work of her kiss. As though trying to prove that she was good at this, she moved her tongue relentlessly. Her tongue boldly licked upward from beneath the glans, while her lips gently encircled the shaft. At times, she increased the pressure of her mouth and sucked hard; at others, she raised her tongue to gently tickle the urethra.

Wet, slurping sounds filled the quiet barracks. Leaning back against the bed, I looked down at the crown of her head as she held my cock in her mouth. Her loose brown hair swayed softly with her movements.

'Status Analysis.'

[Name: Hanna Meyer]

[Status: She has entered a state of intense arousal while pleasuring the Lieutenant's penis]

[Emotion: A desire to be praised, mild addiction to the pleasure her actions gave her, and a desire to serve overwhelming her shame]

With a satisfied smile, I reached up and gently stroked the top of her head. This was enough. I gently took hold of her head and pulled her back. She looked up at me with eyes full of disappointment. Her lips glistened with a mixture of saliva and pre-cum.

"Get on the bed."

At my command, she obediently rose. Then she climbed onto the creaking bed and carefully lay down on her back. Her loose brown hair spread softly over the sheet. I leaned over her, almost climbing on top of her.

"Take it off."
