UCT Ch 26
Not long after, they arrived at Diana Green's tent. The woman, holding onto Richard's arm, was dozing off gently. Her head nodding up and down, she seemed to have no tension at all. "Huh, that wretched scoundrel." Richard let out another scoff, now too stunned to even feel anger. The past few days must have been quite a forced march for the lieutenant. Surviving several near-death experiences in an unfamiliar environment and even garnering media attention would have increased her fatigue. In such…-

UCT Ch 25
Bryce and Owen, returning to the bar, were met with a strange sight. Diana was sprawled across the table. Her ears were bright red, indicating she was quite drunk. Richard was smoking a cigarette, looking down at her. '...' Well, saying he was smoking was only half true. The man had a cigarette between his index and middle finger, but it wasn't in his mouth. Instead, he just let the smoke rise while watching Diana. There was something peculiar about his gaze. It was like the face of a…-

UCT Ch 24
"Captain, I think you're actually a kind person." "……." "You're just pretending to be scary, that's all." It had sounded reasonable in my head, but the moment I said it out loud, I regretted it immensely. Richard's cold expression sobered me up instantly. I felt pathetic and foolish beyond words. How could I say something so ridiculous to my superior? No matter how drunk I was, there were things one simply shouldn't say. But the words had already been spoken, and now I had to deal with…-

UCT Ch 23
The place they entered wasn’t as rowdy as The Dancing Mermaid, but it had a warm and welcoming charm—a cozy neighborhood tavern. The sign read Horshill Lounge. Before the war, it had been a gathering spot for the locals, but now, it was a lively hangout for soldiers on leave. There was an odd tension between the four of them as they sat in a quiet corner. Bryce didn’t bother to hide her disapproving gaze, Owen had suddenly clamped his mouth shut, and as expected, Richard made no effort to…-

UCT Ch 22
Suddenly, Parnass’ eyes narrowed as he stared at the photograph and asked, “By the way, is this the man? The one who painted his aircraft completely white?” “So they say. A white paint job on an Exton model….” “A follower of the White Falcon? A Bringerton without mind-melding abilities—what could they possibly know? Ridiculous.” A feeling of indescribable anxiety twisted in the man’s gut. He had killed Fernand Lowell with his own hands. He had taken everything from him…-

UCT Ch 21
Richard stood before everyone, the very image of a perfect soldier. A smile bloomed on the brigadier general’s wrinkled face. He nodded repeatedly as he returned Richard’s salute. “You both may relax. I didn’t call you here to scold you—quite the opposite, in fact.” “……” “If it were up to me, I’d hold a medal ceremony immediately, but there are all sorts of formal procedures to go through first. Instead, I’ve arranged this small gathering to celebrate your…-

UCT Ch 20
Such unexpected words came from Bryce's mouth. Diana clenched her fists tightly. "Obeying a superior's orders is a soldier's duty-" "Pff." Bryce laughed. "If your superior tells you to die, will you die?" When Diana didn't answer, shocked by the question, Bryce sighed and continued. "Right. If it were a rational judgment, you'd follow it, as you say. But orders like the blind charge we had today can't be followed. At least, not by me." "...If it wasn't for the lieutenant's judgment…-

UCT Ch 19
The seemingly endless mission finally came to an end. As soon as Diana returned to the base, she carelessly threw off her wet gloves and pilot's cap. She leaned against the cockpit, catching her breath for a while. The line between life and death had been so thin, like sugar frosting on a cake. The images of burning planes and blood-soaked cockpits lingered before her eyes. Richard's actions were as ruthless as his mind-melding abilities. His aim wasn't just to shoot down; his focus was on killing…-

UCT Ch 18
The two planes approached the swarm of Arke aircraft at the same time with identical maneuvers. Richard's Exton fired its machine guns at one of the Arke fighters escorting the bombers from the rear. An astonishing thing happened. In less than five seconds, blood splattered inside the enemy's cockpit. The fighter immediately plummeted to the ground. The man didn't stop there. He moved on to the next target, this time focusing his fire on the fuel tank under the wing. The plane caught fire after…-

UCT Ch 17
Diana watched the man's hands, observing the movement of his thick knuckles and long fingers. Seeing those rough, strong hands move delicately as if handling a fragile creature, she felt an indescribable emotion, one she didn't want to delve into further. Diana quickly turned her head away, muttering to herself. 'He must be the type who treats his fighter like a lover.' And then, the man, who had been deeply engaged in his inspection, unexpectedly answered a question that wasn't even…-
