Chapter 78: Take-Off, Towards The Planet Of Visero!

Chapter 78: Take-Off, Towards The Planet Of Visero!

“It’s taking too damn long.” An annoyed Roka muttered as she hit the desk in front of her. “Rea. Go check on them.”

“Oh, who cares...” Raya waved her hand in a completely carefree fashion. “There are only eight of us. We might as well-”

“No.” The Commander interrupted. “We still need to maintain order. We need to have a proper schedule, and to stick to it.”

“Always so tense. You’re not commanding a hundred-people unit anymore.” Raya whispered.

“No. The numbers don’t change anything. Rea. Go check. Now.”

“I’d... Uh...” Rea scratched her head. “I would rather not.”

“Ha? You’re the one who said we needed to delay take-off.”

“Can’t you send someone else? I need to prepare for take-off.” Rea lied. “How about you, Liz?”

“Oh, fuck no.” Liz almost shouted.

“Ugh, whatever...” Raya lazily pushed herself off her seat. “I’ll go.”

“I’ll come with you.” Kris hurriedly stood up, following her.

“Sure, sure.”

They pushed the door leading to the vault open and,

“Oh.”

“What took so long?” Kris asked.

In front of them stood the Paru, three steps away from being through the stairway.

‘I really took my time, huh?’ He thought to himself before shrugging.

The Paru walked up to the door, and handed the key to Raya.

“Well, I can’t blame you.” Kris scratched his head. “It must be stressful for her, with the seat belts and all...”

“Oh, yeah.” Raya placed the key into one of her coat’s pockets. “Didn’t think of that. Being restrained like that for the first time must be extremely stressful, especially when left alone and...” She drifted off, her gaze lingering on the Paru’s swinging member. “Since she’s used... To being free and all... In the wild.”

“Yes.” Kris nodded. “I feel guilty, to be honest. We’re already taking her from her native Planet... She came because she wanted to, but still...”

The Paru walked beyond them and scratched his chin.

‘That was so fucking good...’ He thought to himself.

The female Granilith had been left alone, but she didn’t mind.

She knew that her mate would soon come back.

The Paru, having already experienced take-off, knew that using all of the belts wasn’t necessary. They were only needed in the event of an accident or turbulence.

The female Granilith pushed her butt back until it touched the back of the chair, raised her legs to place her hills at the edge of her seat, and wrapped an arm around her legs.

Being restrained like that for the first time must be extremely stressful, especially when left alone and...

He walked towards the closest seat, made it rotate, and clicked on the button below it.

“Unscrewing it? Why?” Kris asked in a low voice.

Raya chuckled before standing up and walking to Al.

She extended a hand, and it took a bit for him to understand and hand her the key.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake.” Roka cursed as the two exited the room.

“That’s pretty heavy, you know?” Raya muttered as the door closed behind them.

The Paru shrugged.

“Can’t leave her alone, huh? That’s nice. Take-off would be pretty stressful.”

They walked quietly for a bit, heading for the vault.

“It’ll take a bit for us to get to our destination. You won’t have to stay down there the whole way... Hopefully, she won’t have to either.”

Raya walked in front of him, with her hands inside her lab coat’s pockets.

“The place we’re going to is trouble. The Viscero can use and manipulate electricity, almost like magic. They can shoot it like lightning bolts. It’s sort of crazy, really.”

‘That does sound crazy.’ The Paru thought to himself. Crazy cool.’

“Alright,” Raya placed the key on top of the seat he was holding. “You can give it back whenever. Take off in five minutes. Make sure you’re both buckled up by then.”

The Paru nodded and started walking down the stairs.

‘Lightning bolts, electricity, magic... I can’t be sure if he understands what I’m talking about, but if he does then it obviously goes beyond intelligence. Even concepts like minutes he understands...’ Raya stared at the stairway for a bit. ‘He’s as interesting as he is arousing.’

...

The noise, the shaking, the sensation of the ground below one’s feet moving.

It was all too much for the female Granilith.

She clung to him tightly with her shaking arms while keeping her eyes closed and her face pressed against his chest.

In front of the Paru was an empty seat. Thankfully, the belts could be adjusted.

She was sitting on his lap. This way, he could hold her, and she could hold him.

It was the first time that the female Granilith felt the ground below her move.

Having her mate close made it much more bearable.

He was the strongest.

As long as she was with him, nothing bad would happen.

She held onto him tightly.
