“Spade-nim. You might not believe it, but you don’t need to take off your panties and show them every time you greet someone, and there are even cases where people don’t have sex even after their butt is patted.”

“Huh… what? That’s impossible. That’s ridiculous.”

“Are you saying you don’t believe me?”

“……I believe you. Because I believe you, that’s why I came to Apple for advice like this….”

For now, it seemed that was the case.

Spade felt unconvinced, but she couldn’t deny Apple’s words, so she decided to accept them willingly.

Besides that, Apple pointed out and taught several things that Spade should remember.

She realized that some of what she had considered common sense until now had been manipulated by Number 13 and turned into fake common sense, which shocked her in many ways.

“Trash… scumbag… worst… lowest… How could he be so shameless…!”

She felt like slamming her hand down on the table with all her might, but if she did that, not only the table but even the floor wouldn’t be safe.

She couldn’t commit such a rude act in Apple’s room, so Spade barely managed to hold back with superhuman patience.

“Anyway, it’s a big problem in many ways. I never imagined Spade-nim’s common sense would be distorted to this extent… Though I don’t even know how much my own common sense can be trusted.”

“That’s true too… Brainwashing is annoying.”

What she called brainwashing was Apple’s conjecture.

Or perhaps they were under some kind of psychic attack.

Apple told her that because of it, their perception was currently distorted.

Of course, both of these were in the realm of conjecture; there was no definite evidence. Spade didn’t even know how Apple had arrived at such a conclusion, or whether that conclusion was right or wrong.

She just trusted Apple, so she believed.

And besides, before consulting with Apple, she had only felt a sense of unease and hadn’t noticed or done anything.

Even if it was a false lead, the fact that there was any progress at all was a good thing.

By the way, hypnosis… no, was it brainwashing?

For Spade, who preferred to tackle things head-on rather than overthink them, this was a bad match in many ways.

She wondered if it would be better to simply subdue Number 13 directly, but Apple, upon hearing her plan, strongly dissuaded her.

Why was that? Challenging Number 13 to a sex match to subdue him, subduing him with my righteous vagina… From any angle, it seemed like a plan with no problems whatsoever.

Indeed. He might not agree to an unfavorable match, and other allies might be taken hostage… It might be a wise thought.

“For now, that is the immediate policy. Let’s avoid acting rashly until we accurately grasp the situation. You’ll also need to continue acting as usual. Can you do that?”

“Yes, no problem. I’ll make sure he never finds out.”

Spade said with enthusiasm.

After that, they continued to exchange some dialogue, sharing new information and discussing future policies, before their consultation concluded.

After finishing their discussion, they enjoyed the sweet latte Apple had made, as always.

Since Spade doesn’t drink black coffee much, Apple takes care to add milk and sugar, making a very delicious latte for her.

There was always artistic latte art with different designs, making it a delight to the eyes every time.

“Thank you always, Apple. I don’t really know much about coffee taste, but I’ve never had such a delicious latte outside.”

“Hehe, I’m grateful you say so.”

Apple stirred the latte in front of her with a muddler, smiling happily at Spade’s compliment.

Drinking coffee and enjoying snacks in Apple’s room like this, prepared by her… The matter with Administrator Number 13 almost felt trivial.

She had thought this peace would last forever, but the existence of that man who tried to disrupt it truly infuriated her.

That man cannot be forgiven. I will definitely teach him a lesson.

Along with Villain Number 13, Administrator Number 13 was also added to Spade’s internal list of those who absolutely had to be killed first.

“…Come to think of it, that child Aria also liked lattes.”

Villain Number 13, Administrator Number 13, and latte.

Thinking about this and that, she suddenly remembered another operative she had forgotten about.

She hadn’t seen her for several months, so she had almost completely forgotten.

At Spade’s murmur, Apple surprisingly showed interest.

“Aria-nim? I’ve never seen her.”

“Oh? Hasn’t it been about a year since Apple came to this unit?”

“Yes. At that time, Aria-nim had already been dispatched to headquarters.”

“Since Aria was dispatched almost a year ago… you just barely missed each other. Still, she had visited this unit a few times.”

“Each time, the timing was bad, so I couldn’t meet her. I was either away on a business trip or simply not at my desk.”

“I see. It seems you two weren’t meant to meet.”

Spade, who was sipping her latte, exclaimed “Ah” as if a good idea had come to her.

“It seems it’s about time for Aria to return, so it’s actually good. If we protect Aria before the Administrator’s evil reach extends to her, we might find a way to deal with this situation.”

“That’s right. If the Administrator’s influence hasn’t touched her, then her common sense and way of thinking will certainly be normal.”

“That too, but there’s something even more important!”

Operative Aria possesses a very special ability.

As she belongs to the 『Divination Department』, she possesses precognitive abilities.

However, Aria’s precognition isn’t merely about foretelling future events.

It’s said to be an almighty power that can also reveal unknown ongoing matters.

If we utilize her precognition, we might even find a way to overcome the current situation.

“If only Aria returns, we might be able to solve everything…! Apple, what do you think?”

“…I don’t know much about Aria-nim. I think it would be good if that happened, but with such a powerful ability, wouldn’t there be some kind of burden or drawback?”

“Perhaps~ I’ve never actually seen Aria use her abilities either. For now, seeing Aria comes first.”

Spade’s eyes sparkled with newfound hope.

Apple covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled at Spade, who seemed happy for the first time in a while.

…………………. ………….. ……

“Hmm….”

Villain Number 13 had been feeling something strange lately.

That sense of unease was becoming clearer with each passing day.

It was a complex feeling, wondering if he should truly leave it as is, yet also thinking it might not be a bad thing.

The source of the unease he felt was in his penis.

More precisely, the problem was the frequency of his penis getting rock hard at all times lately.

Of course, he thought it was understandable.

After all, all the Heroes of Unit 7 were beautiful and attractive, and even dressed, they were all provocative and alluring enough.

Moreover, whether it was due to the side effects of the brainwashing drug or the ongoing conditioning by Number 13, even those who had no experience with men now exuded sex appeal in every ordinary daily action.

He thought it was unavoidable that his penis couldn’t calm down and kept standing up, seeing such Heroes every day and sexually harassing them without fail every time he encountered them.

However, lately, he had gradually started to notice something strange, as his penis would randomly stand up even in empty places, or show no sign of calming down even after ejaculating quite a bit.

Even when he tried to sleep at night, his penis would spontaneously get rock hard, forcing him to self-pleasure until late hours, and only after ejaculating several more times could he finally fall asleep.

Number 13 was also an Awakened One. Furthermore, as a result of taking the powerful Heroes of Unit 7 and seizing their magic, his stamina was replenished, so he didn’t feel particularly exhausted.

However, he felt that this continuous state was becoming a bit problematic. It seemed to be getting worse with each passing day.

He wondered if he had had too much sex, to the point where something in his mind or body had gone wrong.

He thought he should perhaps exercise a little self-restraint… but if he tried to hold back, his penis would only get even more painfully erect instead of calming down, causing trouble.

‘Boss also scolded me for not being able to concentrate lately….’

Even when he tried to hold a meeting or write a report, his penis kept getting stiff, so he couldn’t possibly concentrate properly.

Furthermore, the Boss was a bit of a conservative person.

It was also awkward to expose his erect state in front of such a Boss, often leading to suspicious behavior.

Shouldn’t he do something about this?

But what should he do?

Perhaps he had no choice but to seek Dorothy’s help. Nothing else came to mind.

“Administrator Number 13-nim, good morning.”

“Yes, good morning, Club.”

As he was embarrassedly staring at his crotch, which was bulging beyond his pants due to another erection in the hallway, Club, who was passing by at that moment, spoke to him.

Instead of saluting, Club flipped up the skirt of her uniform, revealing her pristine white thighs and panties.

It was a foolish sight, but Club didn’t seem to question greeting with her panties instead of a salute in the slightest.

To her, this was a perfectly normal action and a natural courtesy that ought to be performed.

‘Oh….’

Perhaps it was because his penis had become frustratingly erect.

Even though it was a sight he had seen several times, Club’s appearance today seemed even more appetizing. His mouth watered. His crotch began to throb.
