The Valkyries finished their work without any incidents. It was another peaceful day, something that had been the ordinary with very few Calamities showing in the area guarded by the forty sixth Resistance base.
Returning home the first thing the three weapons would do is go through the daily examination. Even if they encountered nothing during their outing it was their duty to undergo the procedure just in case the initial scan performed upon their return had missed something.
"I see you've faced no problems today." Sam said as he checked the tablet in his hand.
"Nothing out of the ordinary." Nine said, but then her eyes went wide as she remembered something important. "Ah! We managed to reach a new city this time."
"This one was still intact!" Zero Three said, sharing Nine's enthusiasm. "There isn't a single building destroyed! It's as if the Calamities never touched it!"
"It's quite rare-" what Sam found more amusing was that the young Valkyrie was talking to him normally instead of expressing her annoyance at everything he does. "Though I've heard of such a thing before. Apparently places that were evacuated entirely before the Calamities arrived are always left intact."
"Really?" Zero Three asked.
"Yes. As you already know, the Calamities only target humans. Apparently they don't bother with anything else. Though we still don't know why they paint everything red."
The red substance covering most of the territories under the Calamities' rule was a mystery. A closer inspection revealed that it's composed mainly of something closely resembling a virus which only affected humans.
At the moment there was no way to fight it once it infected someone, and because it did nothing to other living creatures it was decided to consider it as another type of Calamity.
"Hey, how long would it take go get the city back to what it was?" The young Valkyrie asked, looking at Sam with eyes eyes filled with excitement.
"Sadly, I can't say for sure." Sam replied, feeling a little bad for stepping on her hopes. "It's relatively peaceful around here so one would think it's the best place to rebuild, however it's still too far from the other settlements and the resistance doesn't have enough resources to allocate to this area."
"Is that so…"
"That said, we might be able to convince the HQ to send over a Cleanser. If we retrieve enough farmland and prove its usefulness it would only be a matter of time before normal civilians move here."
At the moment there are only a few Valkyries who have the power to remove the red virus. Those are called Cleansers and the only time they get deployed is when the Calamities get pushed back and the Resistance regains more land. Their only job is to completely eradicate the red virus to make the land habitable for humans.
"So the lack of Calamities alone isn't enough?" Zero five asked.
"Even if everything has been peaceful, well, except for the other day, we are still in the frontline. Until we're completely sure everything is safe we can't risk bringing civilians here."
Noticing that the three weapons didn't seem too happy about what he said, Sam decided to move on telling them to get into Eir.
Each Valkyrie entered her container and soon enough the viscous green liquid filled them. However one had yet to close.
"Nine, could you come here for a moment."
When she heard the Doctor call her, Nine got nervous thinking something wasn't right.
Leaving her container she went back to the previous room where the man was waiting for her. Standing in her usual spot she began by asking if she did anything wrong.
"No, I just had a few questions." Sam said as he walked over to her. "It's about Zero Three."
"Ah! Did she perhaps say more mean things to you?" The blond Valkyrie asked.
"The opposite, actually. She apologized earlier this morning. I suspected that it had something to do with the fight you two had."
"Yes, the other day she just started badmouthing Doctor out of nowhere. When I asked her what's wrong she told us about the conversation you had with her." As she spoke, Nine looked rather infuriated. "Even though Doctor just wants the best for us. I can't believe she would be so rude to you."
"Well, she already apologized. I doubt she would discard her sharp tongue any time soon, but don't be too hard on her. That's just the way she is."
"I see…"
Feeling that the conversation had come to an end Nine expected the man to tell her to return to her container, however what happened next came as a complete surprise.
"E-eh!? D-Doctor!!?"
Without a warning Sam reached out with his right hand and grabbed one of her breasts. A moment later he was squeezing the second one as well.
"Doctor! What are you doing!?" Looking up from the hands playing with her chest, Nine tried to question Sam worried that he had just gotten them both in some really big trouble. "You are forbidden from touching us, remember? Won't we get in trouble because of this?"
Taking his focus off the giant melons for a moment, Sam looked the blond Valkyrie in the eyes.
"You don't have to worry about that." He said. "I've learned that, as your physician, I'm given some permissions others don't have."
"I-is that so…"
Nine found it difficult to believe. She looked down at Sam's hands. It was weird to have him touch her like that, however soon she found herself enjoying the sensation. A smile spread on her lips and a moment later something clicked in her mind.
"Doctor! Does that mean we can try that?"
Sam knew what she was referring to right away. He smiled back at her as if to confirm her guess, he then brought his face close to her stole her lips without hesitation.
For a moment Nine was frozen still, however in the next she learned the pleasure of kissing and began to desire more and more. Sam didn't hold back using his tongue right from the get go. Before he knew it the Valkyrie already had her arms around his neck, her chest pressed flat against his.
A minute or so passed before the two separated, however that didn't last as the Valkyrie pulled him in and started kissing again. He could get his fill making out with her at another time though. Intending to use what little they have right now for something else, Sam pushed the Valkyrie away and as she pouted he explained to her what's going on.
"Today we will be doing an experiment. We don't have a lot of time so…" Sam said, holding the Valkyrie by the shoulders to prevent her from suddenly jumping on him. "How about we try what we saw that time in the library?"
The moment he mentioned it Nine's eyes widened and her excitement spiked. Not wasting any second she immediately went down to her knees. In front of her face was Sam's crotch, a large bulge having formed on it.
