Harem Army: Impregnation Mission on a Frontline Base Full of Women - Chapter 57 & 58 & 59 & 60

Chapter 57: Perverted Trap 2 ⑩ – Punishment

Activating this would instantly bring the wires — currently lying limp and dead on the floor — back to life. They would spray out and entangle the nearest target.

Once that happened, these wires would no longer be fragile like the ones Nagato had torn apart earlier. These 5-ton rated wires made escape by pure strength absolutely impossible without heavy machinery.

『This time, we’ll definitely make those two fuse right in front of us…』

That was the twins’ plan.

With a small click, the back cover of the controller opened. All that remained was to press the switch.

Seeing the smile on Ran’s lips, a similar grin spread across Suzu’s face.

A smile of certain victory.

“Su・zu・ra・n~…”

A soft yet heavy voice with a threatening undertone.

All four pairs of eyes inside the warehouse instantly turned toward the entrance where the voice suddenly appeared.

“What are you two doing… abandoning your duties and messing around in someone else’s warehouse…?”

Looking at her again, her physique was perhaps not that different from the Infantry Unit Commander. That was what Nagato thought.

Combined with a body that was far too robust for a woman, from the twins’ perspective, it must have looked like a real giant had appeared this time.

“Geh…!”

“Kuh… Kutō-chan…”

She didn’t miss the mutterings that escaped the two girls.

“What do you mean ‘Kutō-chan’… huh…?”

The Facilities Unit Commander stepped through the warehouse entrance. She wore a white T-shirt with the top half of her grey jumpsuit undone and the sleeves tied around her waist. She walked toward them with heavy, confident steps.

“Hurry up and stand… Line up, will ya…!”

Behind her narrowed fox-like eyes, her large black pupils were fixed on the twins.

“W-W-Wait, Kutō-chan…”

“T-T-This has a really deep reason…”

“Like hell it does…!!”

Thunder roared through the warehouse.

“You sound like a damn chicken…! Stand up already…!”

The two couldn’t stand. Their legs had given out.

“What’s wrong with you two…”

From behind the Facilities Unit Commander, who was preparing to yell again, Sergeant Narumi and Private First Class Mita came running.

“Lieutenant…!”

“Captain…!”

Even the usually bold Mita didn’t seem to doubt the relationship between Nagato and Lieutenant Kawana after seeing their state. Instead, she immediately removed her own belt and pants.

Her expression as she took them off showed she was fully aware of Nagato’s gaze.

“Please wear these…”

Her legs were not as long or as toned as Lieutenant Kawana’s. But she seemed determined to win with sex appeal. What covered her crotch was a pair of tiny red lace panties with intricate patterns.

Noticing this, Nagato tried to look away, but Mita deliberately moved her lower body into his line of sight.

Sergeant Narumi’s cheeks were faintly flushed as she watched. However, it wasn’t because of Mita’s underwear. Narumi was imagining what had likely happened between Lieutenant Kawana and Nagato.

『The naked Lieutenant… wearing Nagato-kun’s uniform… With the twins’ trap… surely things like that and this happened…』

“Sorry about this~… Infantry Unit folks…”

What stopped Sergeant Narumi’s fingers — which had been reaching unconsciously toward her heated lower abdomen — was the bright voice of the Facilities Unit Commander. She clapped her hands together toward the four and bowed repeatedly.

“I’ll make sure these two idiots get a real harsh scolding later…”

That scolding already seemed to have been partially delivered. A lukewarm steam and a sour smell was rising from the twins’ crotches as they sat on the floor.

She pressed them further, stepping closer to the twins.

“You understand, right…? You two are getting a hundred spanks on the ass… and then sent to the detention barracks…! Cool your heads there for a while…!”

The twins’ already dejected faces turned even paler.

“W-Wait a second, Kutō-chaaan…”

“We’ve already reflected on it…”

“Shut up…!”

Unable to watch any longer, Nagato spoke up from behind.

“Could you maybe go a bit easier on them…? Giving a hundred spanks to girls like this is…”

Narumi reflexively glanced at Lieutenant Kawana’s expression. However, what she saw there was not the emotion she had feared.

『This guy… even after going through all that… he’s still this much of a softie…』

However, Narumi couldn’t fully read the Lieutenant’s inner thoughts. Still, recognizing there was no new source of trouble, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“My my… What a kind person you are, Sergeant Major Nagato…”

The Facilities Unit Commander narrowed her eyes and smiled at him.

“Don’t worry~. When I say a hundred spanks, I just mean a little butt-patting~…”

She laughed heartily, “Hohoho.”

“Liar…!” Suzu shouted.

“Last time it made our asses swell up three times their size…!”

“Yeah…!”

Ran joined in.

“If our cute little asses end up looking like Kutō-chan’s huge butt, what are you gonna do about it…!”

“What was that… you two…”

The Facilities Unit Commander leaned in close to her two subordinates. Her sharp gaze was hidden from the Infantry Unit members including Nagato.

“You got a problem with how I run things…?”

The twins’ backs arched up like cornered kittens. In the end, they finally shut their usually talkative mouths.

“Well then… Infantry Unit folks…”

She stood up and once again bowed with her hands together toward the four.

“I’ll take care of all their past misdeeds along with this incident… Could you please forgive them this time? Of course, these two won’t be participating in tomorrow’s training either…”

After silencing the twins, who were grumbling “That’s not fair…” and “Too harsh…”, with a single sharp glance, the Kutō Unit Commander looked at Lieutenant Kawana.

She was now wearing Mita’s pants and had Nagato’s jacket draped over her shoulders. Both were slightly too short on her.

When a superior officer of Major rank and a unit commander bowed so humbly, even Kawana Rin would find it difficult to press the matter further. Mita’s expression showed she understood this reality.

“Understood…”

The Lieutenant accepted the offer not with a salute, but with a nod.

“Thank you…”

The Facilities Unit Commander began to express her gratitude, but Lieutenant Kawana’s palm stopped her.

“However… If something like this happens again in the future, we will respond accordingly… Especially if they lay their hands on our other soldiers… Is that clear…?”

The Facilities Unit Commander’s eyes narrowed into thin slits.

“I got it, Rin-chan…”

Then her whole face softened into a smile matching her eyes.

“I’ll make sure they’re properly disciplined…”

“I’m counting on you…”

The expression on Private First Class Mita’s face as she looked at Lieutenant Kawana had changed. Any trace of looking down on the Lieutenant had completely vanished.

Chapter 58: Bad News

The moment she saw the flashing letter icon notifying her of a new email, a dark premonition swept over her.

It swirled inside her chest like clouds of sand stirred up by an unknown deep-sea creature at the bottom of the ocean, clouding her heart.

She knew, to some extent, how to endure it.

She simply had to wait for time to pass. That was all. There was no other way.

Just as she expected, the murkiness gradually settled back down to the bottom as the hands of the clock continued their rotations. It appeared to have completely subsided, just like before. However, she wasn’t sure whether the thick layer of water now floating there was the same as before.

“Central Command”

Just seeing those words was enough to fill the plain, unadorned room with an ominous atmosphere. They always reminded her of a bird that only ever brought bad news.

Riding on a lukewarm, fishy-smelling wind, it would come flapping its heavy, jet-black wings.

The bird would slowly circle above her head. A thick, pitch-black shadow — like the inside of a storage shed in midsummer — would descend right above her forehead, as if trying to sink its intangible, obsidian claws into her.

Of course, it couldn’t actually do that. The bird knew it too. Their realms of existence were completely different.

Instead, from the gray sky that looked ready to cry at any moment, a single feather would spiral down, twirling round and round. It would brush past her forehead and gently drift to the ground.

When she looked up at the sky again, the bird was gone. Only the faint, heavy sound of its flapping wings seemed to linger from far away.

That sound soon disappeared as well. All that remained was the single black feather, left behind like some kind of omen.

She thought to herself:

『Can I… just leave it there without picking it up?』

How nice it would be if she could turn her back on it and walk away quickly. But that was impossible. She understood that better than anyone.

“Central Command”

Even after moving the cursor over those words on the terminal screen, she still hesitated. She didn’t wonder why it was happening now. She simply thought:

『When exactly did it become normal for important notices and personnel orders to be sent by email…?』

That question was merely her mind’s attempt to distance herself from a reality she didn’t want to face.

At the same time, she was shocked to realize she had already convinced herself of the email’s contents — even though she had stubbornly denied it no matter what her relatives, colleagues, or superiors had said.

『No…』

She tried once again to deny it.

『There’s no way he would leave me behind and go first… Because… he told me… “Wait for me.”』

Even so, it still took her more than ten full minutes to open the email. On the high-tech LCD screen, she saw distant memories.

They had met at the officer academy.

Their branches were different, but they ended up on the same team during a joint training exercise. She liked him the moment she saw him. She believed he felt the same.

He proposed three years later. The footsteps of war were already audible. By then, both had graduated from the academy, gained some experience, and become Second Lieutenants.

It was their first reunion in a long time. They had never confessed their feelings before and hadn’t been particularly close beyond friendship. Yet he looked straight into her eyes and said:

“I want you to marry me.”

She answered “Yes” without hesitation.

On the day they got engaged, they shared their first kiss. On the next reunion, they confirmed with their entire bodies just how deeply they had desired each other.

“Odd couple.”

Someone meddlesome had told her that people called them that — a small man (by male standards) and a large woman (by female standards). But she didn’t care. She was simply happy.

The war began. Even after registering their marriage, as professional soldiers they had almost no free time. There were periods when they couldn’t see each other even once a year. Still, they used every possible opportunity to reaffirm their love.

Once, in a locker room at Central Command, they devoured each other’s young bodies like beasts. Even now, remembering that moment made her lower abdomen burn. That place still clearly remembered his shape, his heat, and his steel-like hardness.

『How many times did we make love…?』

There must have been few opportunities, yet she couldn’t count them all. Sometimes they spent the entire night doing it over and over.

However, they were never blessed with a child. At the time, she barely minded.

Someday, when peace came—

She, and perhaps he as well, seemed to think that way. At the very least, she was happy just to be able to fight for their country together with her husband. She loved fighting almost as much as she loved being held by him.

Even when the war situation worsened and a gloomy mood began to spread through the military, she didn’t worry. Her unit remained undefeated at the time.

She also held the firm belief that she and her husband could never die on the battlefield. Of course, that was nothing more than wishful thinking.

“Operation <Ama no Iwato>…?”

During their reunion after more than a year apart, after they had tasted each other’s bodies until dawn, her husband revealed to her the operation in which he was to participate as one of the commanders.

It was the first time he had ever spoken to her about an operation he was involved in. It was clearly a violation of military regulations.

“This time… I just can’t accept it…”

He said this while burying his face in her ample breasts.

“Something like that… can’t even be called an operation…”

He gently caressed them and put his mouth to the tips.

“But… even so, I can’t just turn tail and run… Nn… Chub… It would be unfair to Asagiri, who volunteered for the EZO operation…”

“Ah… Ahn…”

Her sensitive peaks, which had been licked and sucked all night, made her moan sweetly as his tongue rolled over them. She reached down to his hot, throbbing length resting on her thigh, grasped it firmly, and stroked it gently to encourage him.

“Come back to me…”

It had already grown so large it overflowed her hand. Groaning, he escaped her supple fingers and pressed it against her warm, wet entrance.

“I will…”

Saying that, he entered her deeper than ever before, as if trying to completely fill the gaps of their anxiety.

In the end, that became the last night she ever spent with her husband.

“Central Command”

The white cursor above those words suddenly seemed to expand across the entire screen. It was not reality, but a hallucination reflecting her own emotions as she opened the email.

She never noticed this until the end. Or rather, such a thing was never recorded in her memory.

“Ah…”

She let out a short groan. Or perhaps that sound, too, only existed inside her mind.

Regardless, that sound transformed her into someone different from who she had been before.

It sliced open her chest cleanly and casually removed something precious — something words could never fully express.

It would never return. She quietly accepted that fact. Never again.

Yet even so, she could not cry. Because she heard a knock at the door.

She could no longer tell whether it was real or only in her head. She simply glared quietly toward where she believed the door to be, filled with anger at whoever was knocking.

『Who the hell… are you…?』

『What right do you have… to do this to me… to us…?』

Ten-odd minutes later.

There was no longer any sign of a person in the room. Only the terminal screen continued to display the bad news.

Central Command

To his wife, Chiharu

Chapter 59: Intermission (Ninja Report 7)

This was the seventh time she had received a report regarding the surveillance of Nagato in the darkened commander’s office.

While listening to Kuratova’s voice, Commander Asagiri could sense a hint of irritation — something she had rarely shown before — in the edges of her words.

After finishing her report, Kuratova waited for the Commander’s thoughts or questions, a deep furrow etched between her platinum eyebrows.

“What has you so… upset, Kuratova…?”

The Commander spoke as gently as possible so that the black-clad girl wouldn’t misinterpret her words.

“Is there some kind of trouble…?”

“NAI…!”

Kuratova herself seemed surprised by her own sharp tone and quickly added:

“CHIGAU… That’s not it… The one who’s troubled… is that guy… That guy is already…”

Her words became mumbled and hard to catch. Beneath the black mask covering her mouth, her adorable lips moved awkwardly.

“Did something happen with Nagato…?”

“SOU DA… That guy… is weird after all… Way too weird… He’s completely… useless…”

“Useless…?”

The Commander slightly adjusted the angle of the desk lamp to better see Kuratova’s expression.

However, Kuratova frowned at the white light and moved deeper into the shadows, melting into the darkness.

“From your reports over the past few days, I didn’t get that impression at all… His performance in training has been excellent. Thanks to him, he seems to be earning the trust of both Commander Hihino and Lieutenant Kawana… And today, he even saved the Lieutenant from a dangerous situation. Well… it was a rather special case, but still…”

Kuratova tilted her head. It was clear she was not convinced.

“His way of doing things… is strange… Somehow… mado… roko…”

“Madarokoi…?”

Out of habit, the Commander finished the word for her.

“Yeah… mado… rokoi…?”

“Ma・do・ro・koi…”

Kuratova repeated it.

The Commander nodded.

“His way of doing things… is ma・do・ro・koi…”

Kuratova repeated the full word once more.

“I don’t know how long it’s going to take… Today too… he had the perfect chance to do the hentai thing, but he didn’t do it… At a moment like that… He’s seriously useless…”

“W-Wait a moment, Kuratova…”

The Commander finally realized that her ninja might have a major misunderstanding.

“What do you mean by ‘chance’…? There shouldn’t have been any situation like that in today’s report…”

The black-hooded head slowly shook left and right, as if saying “Good grief.”

“What are you talking about? I reported it… Those twins stripped them naked… and tried to make them ‘gattai’…”

『Oh boy, Kuratova…』

The scale of her misunderstanding far exceeded what the Commander had anticipated. For a moment, Asagiri Reika was at a loss for words.

But she did not give up on explaining. She trusted Kuratova.

“Kuratova…”

She called out warmly to the black-clad girl standing in the darkness. Pale blue eyes blinked from within the gaps of the black cloth.

“Nagato’s mission is not simply to have sexual intercourse with the nine women… It is to move their hearts… to make them desire the act with Nagato themselves…”

“What are you saying…?”

For once, Kuratova’s voice lacked its usual coldness as she interrupted.

“If a man wants it… a woman has to accept it… That’s what the law says… The law is absolute… Especially soldiers… they can’t go against it…”

“I see…”

The Commander tentatively accepted Kuratova’s claim, though internally she was holding her head in frustration.

『That’s exactly the thinking of those filthy baboons at Central Command… Kuratova…』

“So what you’re saying is…” the Commander continued, “every woman on this base should open her body to Nagato if he desires it… Is that what you believe?”

The black-hooded head nodded deeply.

“Hey… Kuratova…”

This wise woman deliberately spoke in a bright tone.

“Do you remember…? When I told you that ‘she’ — Himuro Madoka — was included in the list of nine… what did you say back then?”

After tilting her head slightly, Kuratova nodded again.

“What did you say at that time…?”

Without hesitation, she answered:

“It’s impossible…”

“Why…?”

“Because… she would definitely hate it…”

This time it was the Commander’s turn to nod.

“But… what you’re saying now is contradictory… You understand that, right, Kuratova…? Are you saying ‘she’ has the right to refuse, but the other soldiers don’t…?”

Kuratova’s tilted head stopped moving. She seemed to be seriously pondering the issue. Seeing this, the Commander let out a small chuckle.

“Every woman, Kuratova… has the right to choose the man who embraces her. If she feels he is wrong… we can reject any sexual demand. Even under the Childbirth Special Measures Act… even if we are soldiers…”

“Is that so…?”

Kuratova’s eyes widened.

The Commander wondered where and what kind of common sense this girl had been taught. As if their minds were synchronized, the black hood began to speak.

“The men I’ve seen… they all used the law as an excuse… and did hentai things… forcing the women to obey…”

So that’s how it is… The Commander understood.

『This is the price of using this girl as a covert operative… But… thank goodness I noticed before she herself was deeply hurt…』

She also felt she now understood why Kuratova called Nagato “weird.” As a ninja, she had witnessed far too many male officers’ treatment of women on this base. If those men were “normal,” then it was only natural for her to see Nagato as “strange.”

“Those men… Kuratova… To put it mildly, are scum…”

“Scum…”

“Exactly…”

The Commander declared firmly.

“Trash who can’t even approach women without using the law as a shield… They have no value as men… No, not even as human beings… To build proper relationships between people, regardless of gender, you have to patiently accumulate words, actions, and time… Only then can trust be born… and sometimes even love…”

After saying this, the Commander faltered slightly under Kuratova’s gaze. Those clear blue eyes were staring at her too directly. It felt as if they were seeing through to the depths of the idealism she had just spoken.

She cleared her throat with a small ahem.

“In any case… Nagato’s approach may seem roundabout, but I don’t think it’s wrong… At least, that’s what I believe… If someone tried to force you to do those ‘hentai’ acts you mentioned… you would resist too, wouldn’t you?”

“W-Wait a second…”

Kuratova, who had been melting into the darkness, stepped forward into the light of the desk lamp.

“T-Then… it was okay… that I didn’t… lick him…?”

“Lick…? Kuratova… You were worried about that before too, weren’t you…”

Watching the visible part of her eyes rapidly turn red beneath the black hood, Commander Asagiri frowned.

“Could it be… that someone tried to force that kind of act on you…?”

“They didn’t…!”

The kunoichi interrupted the woman she had sworn loyalty to once again.

“Nothing like that… happened… I would never… let anyone do that…”

“I… see…”

The Commander didn’t fully believe her, but decided not to press further.

“Well… as long as you’re safe, that’s what matters to us…”

Kuratova shook her head vigorously. She seemed desperate to insist that nothing had happened.

“By the way…”

The Commander changed the subject.

“I hear the Infantry Unit has a night march training tomorrow…”

“Daa…”

Kuratova’s eye color changed. It became the same freezing gaze as Intelligence Unit Commander Himuro Madoka’s — the kind that could freeze anyone who looked into it.

“What about Yamimaru…? I heard it came up in the meeting too…”

“I heard… I’m looking forward to it…”

Even her smile was ice-cold. The trace of the girl her age from moments ago had completely vanished.

“Looking forward to it… huh. It might turn into actual combat, you know…”

“Daa…”

It was unmistakably the smile of a warrior.

Chapter 60: Night March Training (Transfer ①) – To the Black Hair Mountains

More than 90 minutes had already passed since they departed from the base. They would likely arrive at the trailhead of Mount Kurokami in about another hour.

A long column of EV trucks snaked its way along the deep green mountain slopes like a giant accordion.

The female soldiers, who had been chatting excitedly in whispers with a picnic-like mood at the start, were now mostly silent and sullen.

It wasn’t that any trouble had occurred. The road conditions were simply too terrible.

The roads had been left abandoned and unrepaired for many years. Signs of aging were everywhere, along with the vivid scars of past enemy bombings.

Anticipating this, an advance team led by Infantry Unit Commander Hihino Chiharu had departed four hours earlier than the main force. Their job was route clearance — removing debris and repairing road collapses.

Thanks to their efforts, the nearly battalion-sized main force had been able to proceed toward the destination with relatively few major delays.

However, the advance team’s work was only emergency-level. Their role was not to create comfortable driving conditions like those on urban driveways near Central Command. As long as the rubble-filled, pothole-ridden roads were barely passable, they were left as-is. Most of the route so far had been exactly like that.

Due to fuel constraints, most training outside the base had previously been conducted within a one-hour driving radius from TSUGARU. For many soldiers, this long-distance movement was their first experience since being assigned to TSUGARU itself.

On top of that, the terrible road conditions left even the hardy Infantry Unit members unusually quiet.

The cargo bed of the EV truck carrying Lieutenant Kawana Rin was just as quiet as the others. Even the usually noisy soldiers, including Private First Class Mita, were silently staring down at the dark floor.

Despite Nagato being in the same space, the severity of the journey was clear.

“How much longer…?”

The soldiers sitting across from Lieutenant Kawana whispered to each other.

“Probably… about another hour…”

“Ehh…! That long…? I might be in trouble…”

“Me too… And the road’s getting worse and worse, isn’t it…?”

She was right. The column of EV trucks had entered the mountain roads of the Black Hair Mountain Range.

They had chosen this inland mountain route rather than the coastal one to avoid sections of road that had suffered fatal damage from bombings. However, the winding mountain path violently disturbed the soldiers’ semicircular canals.

To endure the torment, the only option was to minimize unnecessary movement and suppress the shaking as much as possible. Still, on these hard, cushionless seats where more than a dozen people sat side-by-side, there was a clear limit to what they could do.

First Platoon Leader Lieutenant Kawana Rin also remained silent, simply letting the truck’s shaking move her body. However, her silence was not caused by motion sickness.

Thanks to her naturally excellent sense of balance, she had never experienced motion sickness even once. She had once dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot using this ability. Unfortunately, by the time she entered officer academy, HINOMOTO’s air force had already been disbanded.

Her silence wasn’t due to reminiscing about that frustration either. Her thoughts were mostly occupied by the Unit Commander and that “Yamimaru.”

“Lieutenant…”

Sergeant Narumi, sitting to her right, called out with a worried expression.

“Are you okay…? Your complexion doesn’t look very…”

Lieutenant Kawana unintentionally let out a bitter smile.

『Good grief… If even she’s worrying about me… I really must be finished…』

“Sorry… for making you worry…”

But she realized this kind-hearted woman was probably concerned about her, including what happened yesterday. So she honestly expressed her gratitude.

“N-No, not at all…”

That response seemed unexpected for the Sergeant. Narumi’s cheeks flushed red, and she quickly looked away.

“I-I’m sorry… It was presumptuous of someone like me to…”

She had probably been prepared to be scolded. Sergeant Narumi was muttering excuses under her breath.

“Hey… Narumi…?”

“Eh…?” She looked back at Lieutenant Kawana.

“Are you okay with this shaking…? Doesn’t bother you?”

The Sergeant’s expression softened.

A gentle smile. Seeing it, Kawana Rin became newly aware that Narumi Yui was a woman more than five years older than her.

While Narumi explained how resistant she was to motion sickness, Lieutenant Kawana continued staring at her subordinate’s face. Even she herself couldn’t quite explain why she was doing so.

“Um… Lieutenant…”

Narumi spoke with an embarrassed smile.

“Why are you looking at me like that…? It’s embarrassing… Actually, everyone seems a little different from usual today. Even the Unit Commander…”

Unit Commander…

The moment that word left Narumi’s mouth, the Lieutenant’s expression hardened. Noticing this, the Sergeant fell silent.

“Narumi…”

Lieutenant Kawana leaned close to her ear so the other female soldiers wouldn’t hear. The EV truck’s noise was minimal even on the bad road.

“You noticed it too…?”

“Y-Yes…”

The ticklish sensation, combined with the feeling of a bird’s feather brushing across her lower abdomen, made Narumi instinctively close her eyes.

“What did you think…?”

“W-What do you mean…”

Her cheeks were flushed and her breathing had grown rough — she was aware of it herself. To suppress it, Narumi tilted her head, trying to pull her ear away from the Lieutenant’s lips.

“Didn’t she seem… kind of withdrawn…? Like something was weighing on her?”

“N-Now that you mention it…”

The Lieutenant’s lips drew close to her earlobe again. Every time she felt the Lieutenant’s breath and body heat — this woman whose beauty could captivate even other women — Narumi felt an unbearable sensation.
