“You asked where we are, didn’t you? This is a place you can’t enter or leave without my permission. So, why don’t you stay a little longer? With me.”43b3c09059f4f264

Raven’s lips curled into a smile, making it difficult to tell whether he was joking or being serious. He leaned in, capturing Renault’s lips in one swift motion. As Raven sucked on them with deliberate intensity, his eyes curved in satisfaction.14f774159c8ea860

The heat between f78256e5f8 them was overwhelming, c7333f27ca and Renault let 29c1284da2 out a soft 37c9ccd839 moan. He was doomed. That was 437a7eb897 the only 21f6bcd6f6 thought running f3335499a6 through his 93d098f31a head. Completely and utterly doomed.f22ebd46ea793fa7

Once the reins 125a1ae2ff slipped, there was 7968772572 no stopping it. Renault parted c2e77e2bc6 his lips 465ead0727 wider, welcoming 2f52e2e7b4 the tongue 19786fd79e that claimed 45f9b15fc0 his mouth. Heat flared through him 59af226abb instantly. This was 961985a662 why he c44a365528 had wanted 26bd133aae to avoid 9cfb497852 him. Even as his cee7996933 mind clouded over, aa0d35f830 he lamented his 645725c520 own weakness.ea6887e08bdd5cef

“Haah, fuck… just shut up…!”2ba6c4c4418d57ef

Frustrated, Renault grabbed his face, unable to resist the temptation any longer, and sucked on his lips. He shuddered as Raven’s half-hardened length brushed between his thighs. A moan slipped out involuntarily. Raven’s large hands gripped his ass, squeezing as if he meant to crush him.9df9cabba30411c7

There were a total 30e91165d8 of fifteen districts on 1e1630f2f3 the continent.7b5d17437a31d58f

The areas 420a5ee8c6 that had 3514095f14 collapsed or 58bd0e9881 vanished due a1549c3b25 to the 707e70949f sudden emergence ec97505b98 of monsters 6fb817400a and dungeons 5d37da4df2 were abandoned, 00e2beda28 while the 36d6246b42 relatively intact 6189dd582e cities were 2509bff7f6 rebuilt into 3274e9dbf4 what became 0bcb4046ad the districts. The newly formed 10294cc664 Allied Government established 9c2aa78240 defensive structures, shelters, 4f8da8b12f and administrative facilities 78b424fdde within each district, 93e01e19a0 as well as 9f3612b29c deploying Espers and 8c82928d92 Guides and setting 48b84db01d up centers to ce2710902c protect civilians.f14aed487d551ea0

Since each of d4238f9ec3 the fifteen districts 1a1181bf5b had its own 56b0152942 unique characteristics, their 1174cbb119 administrative systems varied 76db40a0b5 slightly, leading to 068446db39 differences in certain aa9005ec67 laws. However, all 0b2c3876f4 districts were 885e22c7e4 required to a89156ccf0 follow the 44a0008c41 fundamental laws 93f911ddaf set by c638961d87 the Allied bf7d858176 Government.be2cb44507bcdcde

District 1, known 69f3523b76 as the Central 801705aac0 District, housed the de57e5c47c Allied Government along e7770e3310 with key military 59f4109e8d facilities and institutions. Functioning as the c929f6acdb capital of the 352ebe4351 continent, it was 8c27294dea the largest district, 7ad1005361 and consequently, the 9c97d3d332 most densely populated.1c59fe28e43a8008

Most wealthy individuals desired 3ed29a915f to live in the 35fd33b5e6 Central District, and many 4837cfffe9 of them did. While migration 73b41e4274 from one a641bbe80f district to 379fc914d9 another was 21feeb30b8 possible, it 7b35104141 was a 9674d4bf4c complicated process. Once someone was e01bf1b4c8 expelled to the 5bafdfdf46 outer region, returning 5b00cf4867 to a district c54bc9e6fb was nearly impossible.f5dbc507151f3a0b

The outer region 4d2605a8aa referred to the 6d11314440 areas surrounding the ab0b867d3a districts. In simple terms, the 59cff71fdf districts and the outer 1ea8446b56 region resembled a fried 1f8d29f42b egg— the districts were 2a4f2b69b6 the yolks, and the c5adff603a whites surrounding them were 925327fbbc the outer regions. Fifteen yolks encircled b68adb9741 by whites—that was 1a24d3e8a9 the structure of ee5088ee86 the districts and a1d2d9356b outer regions across 3fc6e68955 the continent.8936cf00bba25846

Though the 0456950eae outer regions 11200fa1d7 were technically 8ca84c230e under the 64e07211cb jurisdiction of ef669505b5 each district, 1fb3c8ae17 in reality, 377b6b3764 they were fa081ad37a neglected and 29778d6b1d abandoned. The military or Esper-Guide 5ce2d8287a Centers only intervened when 770f4798ec monsters appeared; otherwise, no 2ba795f282 one paid them any a8c14647fc attention.ddb54a4b6e61ea91

As a result, fc87186758 the outer regions ceb164f421 became lawless wastelands. And yet, people 36b281db79 still lived there. Most were those who 94a0171514 had been cast out e074d1ad52 from the districts—outcasts and 18a59ebe66 stragglers—but as they formed 85817b0034 settlements, children were born d2cc0bf028 and raised within those 3eceb1d6a5 desolate lands.2919e1c090506656

On very 00ac70426c rare occasions, c4b597a4e2 individuals born f1f38a4740 and raised a2e6f161bf in the f50bdd6094 outer region, 5387d7df94 rather than 0c0105fa88 those expelled 64dd42cfd4 from the 5f3ab1508e districts, were 4b6ff2e1cb granted the 1afff7fc61 opportunity to 9d8e4cae33 migrate into bdcd74a5b2 a district.b1a7e1fefa7eff32

This only happened 72e6dceb3f if they awakened 1736f2294f as an Esper c905a71a3a or a Guide. And even then, 75ce247d1d only if they dd7cbf9403 manifested at a db786546e8 B-class or higher. Since such cases fa33acb825 were exceedingly rare, 54e1cc712d most people were 823a51754e unaware of this 53f9c3e633 exception—until recently, when dcb72d1558 an S-class Guide 6a7bbc0c5e suddenly appeared and 1dedb26beb became the talk 9602af99fd of the continent.c6f9364ca544f7ad

It was a fc57e419b3 matter that inevitably 3fed8bcf8c caught the attention 69baa63a82 of both the e94d324f54 Esper-Guide Centers and e36e639387 the military.

The S-class Guide, 68094893a4 who had drawn 1f6ce4cdf1 the attention of bd60fce9ab all S-class Espers, 95590002d6 seemed like a a3ff1f404b problematic case due ad3f32ed39 to his abnormally 80dbb9ce7e low compatibility rates. It appeared that 16aca84155 he would be db509f904c written off as 0c7430feab a defective product, 1974ccc532 difficult to match 3d7c1ef613 with anyone—until, suddenly, b16777f43d he showed an 4a6e668184 almost perfect 99% ae73e6daff compatibility with A-class 959e1234fc Esper Renault.79cafc6f1859e30d

Renault had always been 6bbf7fbc12 someone under constant observation b9a5b317bb by both the government 7b1c58c257 and the military. Though he ca98969ff7 was currently 9aad821b09 staying quietly 790abb87a0 in District c72e416489 13, his efe2a18941 hometown far a8b80d3d9e from the 7dde0caa86 center, he 1c43d05b3d had never 2b155fd0c5 been out 7878e1799a of the 6f4069059e military’s watchful 1b01496529 eye.d598beba2710620d

There were 59827a7b68 several reasons c79d5bf2d0 for this, 4f10c4dd14 the most cb793be643 significant being 9d67498243 his ability ecf9c12900 to enhance 6064d6e685 the performance 5a7424fcbd of all a15779651c weapons—an ability 963d520941 that was 62169f9442 incredibly valuable ddb4ebb7d2 to the 05322c51e8 military.366d357d578a9880

“Now that he has an S-class dedicated Guide, why don’t we recall him to the military?”7ba683f32db8f7dc

The general, c686f0efec having received 3a9bdf9f01 reports on cd766b411b Renault and 35337bcdb9 the troublesome d33df4dbf1 S-class Guide, 98cf6a85a2 Raven, as 3b421c13e3 well as 1839324af8 the recent 4e7a8992f8 monster subjugation 5751f14117 in the a9a32da76d outer region, 09569c8bfd fell into 4130ae267d brief contemplation.

It simply stated fc10ee6441 that, despite their 255e627897 high compatibility rate 67edabdf07 and Raven’s official 5d2b07396a designation as Renault’s 368f51797f dedicated Guide after 7daeec2a00 the monster subjugation, b52e8900a0 Renault remained reluctant 3ad1b5c0e4 to accept his 40152c54e4 guidance. That wasn’t surprising 35f67a6cb0 in the least. Renault had always disliked bbc839ff34 Guides and had refused 2c0fa18f8e to be guided from 814d0605f4 the beginning.ac01bb386017d784

He avoided 64d3e22788 Guides as ea0cd41eb4 if he accac13b18 had an 52555e12f4 aversion to 2ee0c58024 them. Given his naturally low 2806aa3699 compatibility rates, it was aa10d4d0cf only natural that being 2417321ee9 guided was an uncomfortable 1e7d408367 and painful experience for 5aa88f2cba him. The fact that he 5f5d10e422 had managed to maintain 1485dd3214 control over himself just 3d22eabd1e enough to avoid going 76cd16e16f berserk was already a 1a2ab92039 miracle.4ea2457ac9869587

Despite his valuable 669bd96454 ability, they had b038957b40 never been able a3506bb7a6 to put him 9a62edd394 to proper use 83527c07a8 and had ultimately 0c70875d7a allowed him to 53984fbf77 return to the 15e23ef879 Esper-Guide Center in 26c638542b District 13 as b31d4b80a5 he wished. It had been 897ace2aba an unfortunate loss. But now, with an 3e32548feb S-class Guide who had 1fda384926 a high compatibility rate 63609e066e with him, they had f4d4a4bc52 the perfect excuse to b6748d67b0 bring him back and b6427f1247 make use of him ee944771e6 once more.d7dcf92d12dfedbd

Even if Renault c2fb71fdb0 didn’t trust his b164e47594 dedicated Guide yet 147b6ff290 and remained reluctant 3847625419 to be guided, c74ed635a3 it didn’t matter. The fact that ab7bd3c8b1 he now had 8c57eb2cff a high-compatibility Guide b937b1a383 was all that 14e79de8a3 was important.71a0867afe11962e

Something about it didn’t 92babd81cd sit right. The sudden, almost fcd465d3ec tailor-made compatibility between 29a605ecf8 two individuals who b51dff92ba had both struggled 05b124baaa with low matching a3696f6b4b rates was already d7d01118b7 suspicious, but beyond 4303ecd1d4 that, there was 74510ac35e something else.

Renault glared at him, bd69125c32 his expression turning ice-cold. In response, 6e6b63693f Raven let 8769bbea28 out a 19677b08dd short whistle, 753f059ebc like a 129a4f8661 troublemaker about 0be086c049 to cause d47e9ffb60 mischief.0fc9fbc177daabe6

Renault’s sharp, upturned d29f17582d eyes and frosty 854b586716 demeanor were a e8391098b7 stark contrast to f6906c35e6 how he looked 589881400e when he was d6fa531e39 lost in pleasure, 051edd3335 his face slack 36f17d6376 with satisfaction.

Renault already knew 97d950c49e full well that f5ae83a9d5 Raven’s true intentions 1ea113f6bc were anything but c36007e926 innocent, yet he 6df29e1792 had the audacity 5b4e060333 to keep up cb3f7660aa this act.
