Zongman: Collecting starts with Shiori

"After witnessing an elf, as an ordinary human being, you should know what to do, Corporal Origami, right? Just think of it as a chat between me and this boy?"

After saying that, Kusakabe Ryoko looked at Shikimori Kaede again.

"Young man, you haven't told me your name yet. Seeing how much Sergeant Origami cares about you, I am becoming more and more interested."

Shi Shoufeng watched the conversation between the two people, and after a moment of silence, Shaoqing slowly spoke.

"My name is... Shikimori Kaede."

Chapter 26 I'm Interested in You

"Shikimori..."

After hearing Shikimori Kaede's introduction, Kusakabe Ryoko thought about it for a moment, but seemed very unfamiliar with this surname.

"It's a relatively rare surname. Come on, Shikimori-kun, how about coming to my office for a cup of tea and a chat?"

"..."

Origami remained silent, but her grip on Shikimorikaze's hand slightly increased.

It seemed that she didn't want Shikimori Kaede to obey Kusakabe Ryoko's orders.

But how could Kusakabe Ryoko not see the little trick of origami?

She glanced at Origami briefly and said.

"Sergeant Origami, go and report on the mission first, then bring a medical kit to my office. Your friend is still bleeding, okay?"

"But..."

"No buts!"

Kusakabe simply pinched Origami's chin and forced her to look him in the eye.

"You have already taken an extraordinary action this time. I don't remember ever giving you the order to fight a single-handed battle with an elf. Do you want to die?"

"I don't think I did anything wrong."

Origami and Kusakabe stared at each other.

"Are you really aware of what kind of monster you are fighting? Our duty is to minimize the damage and make the elves disappear as much as possible, do you understand? Not to let you take unnecessary risks like this!"

"Is it really?"

Origami's expression never changed.

But Shi Shoufeng inexplicably felt a sense of stubbornness from her.

"This is the AST unit. I joined because the AST's mission is to defeat the elves. As long as I can kill the elves, I am willing to do anything."

Kusakabe also frowned when he heard this.

She naturally knew the purpose of AST's existence.

Indeed, just as Origami said, AST was established to defeat the elves.

But precisely because Kusakabe is the captain of AST, she knows more clearly what kind of existence she is facing.

Knock down...?

I'm afraid that it would be a bit embarrassing to be able to ensure that the scope of the damage is reduced.

"call..."

Kusakabe breathed a sigh of relief and let Origami go.

"This is the military, and it is your duty to obey orders. I don't want to pay attention to your thoughts, but I won't allow you to disobey orders. If you do it again, you must leave the military, understand?"

"Yes."

"Okay, go make the report first. This is an order."

"Yes..."

After saying that, Shikimori Feng silently watched Origami drag her tired body away slowly.

She looked back at Shikimori Kaede, but because of Kusakabe, she chose not to say anything.

"Come with me, Shikimori-kun."

Shikimori Kaede thought about it and decided to follow Kusakabe Ryoko.

Kusakabe first took Shikimori Kaede to her exclusive dock to remove her equipment.

Unlike Origami, although Kusakabe's face was instantly covered with fatigue when she removed the equipment, she quickly adjusted herself and did not feel exhausted at all.

"I heard that you were with the elves and were brought back?"

Kusakabe led the way two steps in front, chatting with Shikimori Kaede as they walked.

"Is that so..."

"As an ordinary person, can you still be safe and sound under the hands of the elves..."

Kusakabe said this silently, then pushed open the door of the office and invited Shiki Morikaze in.

"Sit anywhere. I just want to chat with you. Don't be nervous."

Sitting on the sofa in the simply decorated office, Shikimori Feng's eyes were fixed on Kusakabe's every move, from when she washed the tea leaves, made the tea, to when she picked up a cup of steaming green tea and placed it steadily on the coffee table in front of him.

It was all very casual, just like the way one would receive ordinary guests in an ordinary place.

Looking at the green smoke raised by the heat, Shi Shoufeng asked softly.

"So, what are you going to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Kusakabe frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, as if this question was beyond her expectations.

"Huh? Why do you ask that suddenly?"

Shi Shoufeng gently spread out his hands, his posture revealing helplessness and self-mockery, his eyes wandering between the decorations in the room that symbolized power and mystery.

"AST is a national secret organization that specializes in matters related to elves. All of this is too far away and difficult to understand for an ordinary citizen. Wouldn't it be out of place for me to appear here? Or will you let someone who knows these secrets walk around freely?"

During the conversation, Shikimori Kaede's tone was calm and steady. He was not panicked at all. Instead, he looked directly at Kusakabe with an almost calm look, as if he had already anticipated the situation he might face.

Upon hearing this, Kusakabe couldn't help but raise a meaningful smile.

"Oh...? I see. No wonder Sergeant Origami is so interested in you. It seems that you, who call yourself an 'ordinary person', are not that simple. If it were someone else, they would have been in a state of panic. How could they have the leisure to sit here and drink tea and chat?"

Shiki Shoufeng's expression became a little strange, and a self-deprecating arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"If I act pitiful here, will you let me off?"

"Of course that's impossible."

Kusakabe smiled brightly, spread his hands generously, and then quickly tied his smooth black hair into a neat single ponytail.

"Since you understand this, then isn't it unnecessary for me to cry and beg for mercy?"

Shiki Morikaze's attitude showed that he was mentally prepared to face everything that was coming.

Kusakabe Ryoko's eyes flashed with increasingly intense interest. She stared at Shikimori Kaede and continued with a playful tone.

"It's really impossible to let you go now. But——"

She slowly stood up and moved to Shi Shoufeng's side, sitting next to him casually, and gently lifted his chin with her fingers. The action was both intimate and a little provocative.

"Please rest assured, we will only make you forget some unnecessary memories and ensure that it will not affect your normal daily life. Also, before my curiosity is satisfied, you don't have to worry about being lonely. We have plenty of time to have a good chat."

There was a hint of surprise in Shikimori Feng's eyes, and he was surprised by this sudden change.

"What's this about?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Kusakabe's lips, and she moved her body again, sitting directly on Shikimori Kaede's legs, with her long legs naturally placed on both sides. Because of her posture, her already fitting shirt was slightly lifted up, revealing her flat and powerful belly.

"I am very interested in you. After all, it is rare to find someone who can get close to an elf without getting hurt. Usually, such a person has some unknown secret or special ability. Why not let me verify it myself and see if you are really as unique as the rumors say?"

Chapter 27: Played by a woman?

"No way, are you really crazy?"

There was a mixture of disbelief and panic in Shikimori Kaede's tone, and his eyes scanned back and forth on Kusakabe Ryoko's face, trying to find even a trace of rationality.

Faced with the sudden change of Kusakabe Ryoko, Shikimori Kaede was obviously caught off guard.

He instinctively raised his hands, intending to push away this familiar stranger, but as soon as his wrists were raised, an inexplicable feeling of weakness surged over him like a tide, as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on his limbs, making it impossible for him to complete even the simplest movements.

"What's going on...Why can't I use any strength in my body?"

Shiki Shoufeng's voice trembled, and his eyes were full of fear and confusion.

He tried to concentrate and mobilize every bit of strength in his body, but found that all his efforts were in vain, as if he was completely restrained by some invisible force.

"what..."

Kusakabe Ryoko let out a long sigh, her fingers stroked Shiki Morikaze's cheek as gently as a feather, and a strange light flashed in her eyes, a complex emotion mixed with obsession and desire for control.

"This is just a trick I carefully prepared. Remember? I said long ago that I would treat you in the most gentle way. After one shot, all the troubles and memories of this world, and even your astonishment at my behavior at this moment, will disappear. But before that, I have to admit that you are becoming more and more attractive to me... This pretty face, just staring at it, is enough to make my heart surge with uncontrollable restlessness."

In order to prove the truth in her words, Kusakabe Ryoko's actions appeared extremely charming.

She slowly unbuttoned her shirt, and each piece of clothing fell to the ground as lightly as falling flowers, revealing the delicate black lace bra underneath. It fit her graceful figure tightly, revealing a dangerous and seductive beauty.

With the gentle twisting of her waist, Kusakabe Ryoko's body coiled around Shiki Morikaze like a snake, and every slight touch of their skin seemed to ignite a silent flame.

There was both the pride of a conqueror and the excitement of an explorer in her eyes. It was a kind of exploration of Shi Shoufeng and a deep fascination with the unknown territory. There was a strange light flashing in her eyes, and a hint of interested smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. With an expression of eagerness that could almost be materialized, she stared at Shi Shoufeng below.

She gazed down at Shi Shoufeng, as if she was a queen overlooking the world. She slowly and leisurely unbuttoned Shi Shoufeng's shirt. Each button seemed to tease Shi Shoufeng, gradually heating up the atmosphere around them.

"Oh..."

As the scene in front of her eyes slowly unfolded, Shi Shoufeng's sturdy body was covered with fine scars in an orderly manner, like an ancient totem, recording unknown stories and traces of battles. This made her eyes even hotter, and her heart was filled with indescribable curiosity and interest.

"As expected, you are definitely not an ordinary person, right?"

This sentence is not just a question, but more like a certainty.

Kusakabe Ryoko leaned forward slightly until her warm breath brushed across Shikimori Kaede's sensitive neck.

At that moment, she seemed to be able to hear her accelerated heartbeat, intertwined with the subtle sound of electricity in the air. She took a deep breath, a mixture of leather, sweat and his unique scent, which not only rushed into her nostrils, but also awakened some primitive and hidden thoughts.

"This breath...it really turns me on."

Her tone trembled slightly, as if she couldn't even control her emotions.

Her eyes were blurry and a faint blush appeared on her face, making her look extremely attractive.

"Although I don't understand why I can't help but have such a strong feeling after seeing you, but... since I can't explain it with reason, why not just follow this impulse and... have a good taste?"

Looking at Kusakabe Ryoko who seemed to be crazy, not to mention her, even Shikimori Kaede felt a little confused.

and many more...

Shiki Shoufeng suddenly seemed to remember something.

The last time I conquered Shiori, didn't the card breaker increase my charm value by six points?

???

Shiki Shoufeng came to his senses immediately. He wanted to curse loudly. What kind of charm is this? Isn't this just a seducer for nymphomaniacs? !

But the current awakening can no longer solve anything.

Because can it be said that Kusakabe Ryoko has that kind of style?

Her actions were swift and decisive. After only a short while of thinking, Shi Shoufeng already felt a coolness on his body.

"Ah... what a surprise."

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, mixed with a barely perceptible hint of surprise and greed.

The scene before her seemed like a visual feast specially prepared for her by fate. It made her heart beat faster involuntarily, making a continuous "thump, thump" sound.

As the cover slowly faded away, a huge monster quietly appeared. Its presence was so strong that it almost occupied her entire field of vision.

Her cheeks became even more flushed, and the color bloomed from the inside out, like the clouds in the sky at dawn, so beautiful that it made people's heart beat faster.

The originally clear and watery luster in her eyes was now occupied by a deep pink. The color was rich and warm, as if it could directly reflect the surging emotions in her heart.

The slightly trembling existence reflected in the eyes became the most eye-catching focus in this quiet space.

Although this was her first time really facing a man, Shi Shoufeng's size made her feel that she could no longer control herself.
