This is the building, huh?
I have no time to spare, but I need to have a trump card…
Wait for me a few more moments, Shiori!
Yuudai jumped towards the roof.
---
The golden lance of death thrust forward.
Shiori braced herself.
DOPAANG-
The lance was struck from the side by a small black object and hit the ground instead of its original target.
“Wha-”
It was a kunai.
“Yuu-kun…?”
A silver blade sliced through the top part of the net.
“Sorry for being late, Shiori.”
“Yuu-kun!”
“Oh, huh. You managed to tail Cinder, huh? Good job. But you do realize you’ve walked into my trap, right? I would have preferred to neutralize her first, but this is fine too. I just didn’t think you would be stupid enough to attack us on our home turf without a plan.”
Yuudai stayed silent.
“Just as I thought. All brawn, no brains. Really, you bring shame to your house. Even your parents had a plan when they challenged me.”
“As I thought. You killed them, huh.”
“Yuu-kun… kunai?”
“It was necessary.”
“So I take it that you no longer fear them, Saito?”
“Wrong. They still scare me, but meeting you made me realize it wasn't the kunai that stabbed them and murdered them in cold blood. It was you.”
Unexpectedly, the knight woman- Rina Lebenev began laughing.
“Cold-blooded murder? From you? The son of the duo who murdered my family. in. front. of. my. very. eyes? Thats rich!”
“Do I look like I care?”
The laughing stopped.
“I see. You’re just like me, aren’t you Saito?”
“I don’t care who you are or how justified your actions are. If you dare hurt those I care about, I will kill you.”

“As I thought, you indeed are just like me.”
“First my parents, and now even Shiori nearly died by your hands. Tell me, Miss Lebanev, are you ready to die?”
“My time will come after that of everyone who carries the name of your two houses.”
This isn’t the normal Yuu-kun!
“Wait, Yuu-kun, why are you acting so abnormal all of a sudden! Going on and on about killing and stuff…”
“Shiori. I promised you that I would become strong. This is the realization of that promise. Strong enough to protect you, no matter what it costs.”
“Yuu-kun, I…”
“We’ll get out of this alive, Shiori. Trust me.”
Yuudai turned to his partner.
“I pledge my soul to you.”

In Pursuit of Bark's Finest
On the frontiers of transhumanity’s expansion into the galaxy thousands of light years from the light of Sol, things can get rather chaotic. There are countless millions of nascent interstellar nations securing their interests, pirate ships prospering off plunder and deniable mercenary work, dissidents setting up their own civilizations, and other groups all trying to push an agenda. When these groups crash into each other, the results can become extremely messy and convoluted. Recently, a frontier nation calling itself the Red Star Union has found itself at the focal point of one such complication. A freighter under their protection has been sabotaged, hijacked in interstellar space, and robbed of its cargo. This would be bad enough even if all it were carrying was luxury goods, but the freighter Nebula Plow was carrying more than just normal trade goods. Indeed, her cargo of Non-Orientable Wormholes for use in starship power plants was both very expensive and very, very dangerous. Now the Red Star Union has to worry about a pirate crew running around with several extra devices capable of converting matter into antimatter with negligible energy cost. With those, the pirates could be capable of inflicting untold damage if allowed to leverage their ill-gotten gains into a stronger position, a possibility the Union finds completely intolerable. Unfortunately, all that the Red Star Union has to go on for evidence is two names; that of the captain, and that of the ship. The Captain is going by the possible pseudonym of Fuller, while the ship is named Bark’s Finest. And thus the orders came down to the Union’s Bureau of Starforce Intelligence: find more information on these pirates, conclusively identify them, and figure out where exactly they’ve gone to ground so that the fleet can crush them before they get established. Of the many agents that the bureau assigned to this mission, one would happen to play an important role: Field Agent Madeline Zargosty. This is her story. This story is entirely pre-written, and will have one chapter released per week. If you want to read it all ahead of schedule and get access to some premium-exclusive bonus content, the entire book is available for purchase; links to the appropriate storefront pages will be posted at the end of each chapter. This story is also being posted to Scribblehub.
