I ran straight for a long time.
Except for the times I slightly entered the area during lunch or dinner, or when I slept, I seriously just ran straight.
The only time I ate dinner was to grab a bite, but I mostly lived in the car.
This time, I spent so much time in the car that it was actually faster coming back from headquarters than going there.
“Huff…”
“I feel like we’ll arrive soon.”
“I think it’ll be… comfortable soon.”
I was just mindlessly playing around in the car with the commander.
But the problem is, there’s a limit to that.
“My back hurts.”
“I’m lying on a mattress, though?”
“Staying lying down is tiring too, and didn’t some pervert keep touching me?”
“Oh.”
“There’s no way my back wouldn’t hurt.”
It really was someone else’s fault that my back hurt.
Honestly, with such a big thing poking me from behind, it was inevitable my back would hurt.
It wasn’t just a simple poke; using strength while thumping away made it…
“Want me to put on a patch?”
“Yes…”
“…I’m sorry.”
“No need to apologize. I didn’t refuse… either.”
The commander pulled out a patch from somewhere and started sticking it to my back.
It hurt, but technically, I didn’t refuse the commander’s request.
I didn’t even dislike it…
Well, at least one pleasure was thoroughly achieved.
“Huff…”
“Feeling a bit better?”
“I think it’s at least better than a moment ago.”
“Glad to hear that… um… next time I’ll be a bit gentler.”
“No, Commander, you can go ahead and be as vigorous as you like.”
It wasn’t that I didn’t want it.
It was just that I only cared about the muscle pain that would come the next day.
Honestly, when I moved on top, it was… better than when the commander was thrusting from behind.
“…Let’s clean up the car a bit. We should throw away some trash, too.”
“Should we?”
“Yes.”
It was actually clean.
It wasn’t messy to the point of food scattered everywhere, but it needed tidying up.
“…And we should probably take care of the condoms.”
“Oh.”
“…And maybe those underwear lying around…”
“……..”
“…Let’s clean it up now.”
“Okay.”
The commander and I got up from our seats.
We needed to ventilate the place a bit… felt like we had to tidy up in every possible way.
If we didn’t clean this up, it genuinely seemed like it would become hazardous.
Starting from tissues, condoms, and all that… we decided to clean up everything we could.
It felt like a real danger if the agents found out about this.
“Oh, Lindera. Here…”
“…Yes.”
“…”
I received a pair of panties.
Hmm.
Uh…
It felt a bit embarrassing, but I couldn’t just refuse accepting them.
Thankfully, they weren’t stained or anything.
It was just a bit too embarrassing to receive the panties I wore from someone else.
“…Let’s put that in a bag.”
“Okay.”
“And let’s ventilate a bit, just in case.”
You never know.
There are agents with keen noses, and we had been lounging around here for a few days.
“Should we?”
“Yes. We can just open the windows. No need to open the top since it’s sunny.”
So we ventilated a bit.
With this, hopefully, other agents wouldn’t notice anything odd while checking out the car.
We made sure the condoms were definitely used and cleaned up after, so there should be no problems.
“Then… should we lie down again?”
“Yes.”
We laid down again.
It was too sunny to keep sitting while looking outside, and honestly, lying down and playing with the commander on the mattress was just more fun.

“Did you have a good trip?”
“Dolores, did you do well?”
“We all had a great time. We went out for delicious food on the company card every lunch.”
“Glad to hear that.”
After a long time, when I saw Dolores again, she looked happier than the last time we met.
To put it simply… she seemed to have gained a bit of weight?
It seems she really did eat delicious food using the company card.
“Lindera! Did you bring anything back?”
“…Well, I have some chocolate. Would you like some a bit later?”
“Of course!”
Looks like everyone had a good time.
Midori looked the same, and seeing Dolores made me smile.
As soon as I got out of the car, I chatted with the two right in front of it.
“How was headquarters? The party? Huh?”
“I’ll tell you in a bit. First, can we… not stay in the parking lot?”
“Yeah, hanging around here feels a bit weird.”
“Ah…!”
Thanks to the commander speaking up, we managed to get inside.
There were many other agents around the parking lot, and they were all staring at the commander… so that felt a bit uncomfortable.
It felt like they were a bit… obsessive, but I thought there was nothing we could do.
Well… I was in a position where that was understandable.
Finally, after a long time.
It had been almost three weeks since I entered the office.
Seeing my spot and the commander’s place together gave me a warm feeling as I sat on the sofa.
“Did you manage well at work?”
“Uh? Of course we did! We did an amazing job!”
“Good to know.”
“Honestly, there wasn’t much to do. Installing facilities on the ship was done by the people sent from headquarters anyway.”
It was just casual chatter.
We didn’t really have anything significant to discuss.
Plus, there was no work to jump right back into today, right?
“Oh, how did it go? The indoor garden…”
“The indoor garden is complete. The bar is set up too… things haven’t fully arrived yet though. But the facilities themselves are all complete.”
“Wow…”
That was something to look forward to.
Last time we saw it, all they had done was combine a few personal rooms and fill them with dirt.
It was only natural to anticipate the completed version.
Especially now since they even added a bar on the ship.
I couldn’t help but look forward to it even more.
“Um… Miss Lindera?”
“Yes?”
“I saw an article and was wondering…”
“Oh.”
Hmm.
How did they find out?
Of course the article was sensational so I could see how they might know.
But I didn’t expect my coworkers would actually know its content.
“…Yes, that’s right.”
“As I thought…”
“What? What are you talking about??”
“…There’s that.”
I just stated it like that.
It was a bit embarrassing to explain the whole situation in my own words.
I didn’t even know where the embarrassment came from.
It just felt odd to have news about something related to me come up.
Of course, my name wasn’t highlighted or anything, but still, it felt uncomfortable.
While my name, age, and other details weren’t shared, there was still the fact that a loser was rumored to be hitting on a girl.
“Um… if I’m supposed to tell you about this…”
“…Maybe the commander should handle it.”
Well, it didn’t really matter if I told them or not.
Besides, if they just casually searched our company’s name, they would probably come across it anyway.
So the commander took the lead and briefly explained it to Midori and Dolores.
While taking a break at the party, when I briefly stepped away, that jerk had been a nuisance.
Oh, naturally, I didn’t use the word “nuisance.”
I just talked in a normal manner.
He spoke a bit more politely compared to when he usually conversed with me.
“Ugh… what a trashy guy…”
“Yeah, that’s just how it is.”
“But the commander punched him?”
“…Ahem.”
“…Uh, um… just because I can’t do it, doesn’t mean I get hit too, right?”
“…You’re stronger than I am anyway.”
“That’s true!”
Midori had a surprisingly amusing reaction.
Her expression was crumpled with disgust as she spoke about that guy.
He was indeed trashy enough to deserve that.
Thanks to him, I ended up with a sore wrist too.
That made me feel a bit pleased about how he ended up.
Thanks to that, I also got to become closer to the commander and whatnot…
“I thought about asking when the article came out, but… I was worried you’d dislike it.”
“Well… it’s all over anyway. That guy’s already done for, so I’m not worried about it.”
“Ah, I see.”
After a long time, that’s how we chatted.
It was different than only talking with the commander, but this too was nice.
Even though they’re colleagues, I could say Midori and Dolores were the closest friends after the commander.
*
After the commander and Lindera returned to the ship and the evening rolled in.
Dolores entered the car where the two were.
“Where’s the black box…?”
She came in to get the vehicle’s internal records.
Not for any weird reason; she simply wanted to organize the records.
“It should have been right in the front… ah.”
While checking around the car with the steering wheel, Dolores kept looking.
After some searching, she finally found a black box.
It recorded the front camera footage and the interior sounds as well…
Lindera and the commander were completely unaware.
It was their first outing together, and those who usually worked in the office had no idea either.
“Even commanders need to write reports if they want to go out for reasons other than missions… it really is bothersome…”
Dolores simply extracted the storage device containing the black box files.
After all, the black box itself was fixed, so she could just take the device with the files.
‘Neither Lindera nor the commander seems to know they have to write a report, so I bet they’d appreciate if I handled it for them since they must be exhausted from the trip.’
Dolores thought like this without knowing what files and records were stored on that device.
Despite her good intentions… if Lindera and the commander knew about this situation, they would probably be shocked.
Of course, at the moment, they were having a mature time in the commander’s room, but.
