Chapter 2.4

“…W-what?!”

As soon as her hand left his *rect member, he hurriedly pulled up his pants and asked again.

“Even if everything looks fine on the outside, if there’s inflammation festering inside, it needs to be removed quickly. Even a simple cold, if left untreated, can progress to a serious illness. I’ll step out for a moment, so please collect your s*men in here. Just put the gl*ns inside and do it as much as possible without making a mess. Like this.”

Daphne demonstrated by putting her hand into the beaker as if it were the man’s p*nis. When she handed him the beaker, his face turned bright red. Feeling as if she were making an innocent man do something shameful, a fleeting look of sympathy crossed Daphne’s eyes.

“Just do it as you feel comfortable. Call me when you’re done.”

Thinking it would be best to step out for his peace of mind, Daphne dimmed the lights so he could collect his sample more comfortably. As a finishing touch, she played some soothing music and closed the door.

‘Five minutes should be enough, right?’

Daphne took off her gloves and poured the leftover snacks from the morning into her mouth. As she savored the nutty, sweet flavor, she sat on the sofa and massaged her legs.

They were so swollen that pain shot through her toes every time she curled them. She comforted herself, thinking this would all be over in a few months, and waited for five minutes to pass.

When the alarm rang, signaling exactly five minutes, Daphne knocked on the closed door.

“Are you finished?”

But there was no answer from beyond the door. Unsure if she should open the door or not, Daphne spoke again.

“I’m coming in.”

She opened the door with a click and entered to find him frozen in the same position as before. A gloomy aura of depression surrounded him. Worried that the side effect might be more serious than she thought, Daphne approached him.

“Is it not going well?”

At her words, his shoulders flinched. 

Ah, maybe that was a blow to his pride. 

Daphne shifted her eyes, watching for his reaction.

He didn’t seem particularly hurt in his pride, so Daphne hesitated for a moment. It was now 8:30 while she waited for him. Since she needed to leave soon, Daphne made a suggestion.

“Would it be all right if I helped you?”

He was so taken aback that even she felt awkward for making the offer. But there was no other way. She needed to go home, and he needed a thorough exam, so something had to be done.

“For a precise examination, this is necessary. If I can help, I will. If you’re uncomfortable with this, we can try a different approach.”

As she spoke calmly, his face grew even more distressed. His eyes were full of worry. Just when she thought he would refuse, he nodded with a determined expression.

“Please… I’ll ask for your help.”

In truth, a s*men test was the simplest and most accurate, but it wasn’t the only method. However, since other methods took much longer and she wanted to leave early, his answer was welcome.

Daphne put her gloves back on and positioned herself between his legs.

“Relax your body and lie down comfortably.”

Daphne gently held his member with both hands. She could feel his pulse pounding beneath her palms.

She had seen men’s genitals before, but never touched one like this, so she wasn’t sure what to do. She decided to just try and ask if she didn’t know something.

“If anything hurts or feels uncomfortable, please tell me right away.”

He nodded, his fists clenched tightly. As soon as her hands touched him, his member started dripping fl*id, looking quite intimidating.

It was so large that even with both hands, she couldn’t fully wrap around it. Gathering all the knowledge she’d ever seen or heard, Daphne slowly moved her hands.

Worried she might hurt him if she squeezed too hard, she used as little force as possible, stroking up and down slowly. The thumping pulse tapped against her palm.

Nervous enough to make her hair stand on end, Daphne swallowed dryly and curled her hand around the gl*ns, gently circling.

“Ugh….”

A pained m*an escaped his lips. The clear fl*id made a sticky sound as it rubbed.

Thinking she needed to extract the s*men, Daphne softly squeezed the thick shaft and moved her hand upward. Unable to bear the pleasure, his hand trembled as it gripped her shoulder.

“Ah, wait…!”

Sensing instinctively that he was about to cl*max, Daphne grabbed the beaker she’d set aside and positioned it at his tip.

Soon, his body tensed, and he began to *jaculate. Watching in silence, Daphne felt a strange tickle between her legs and unconsciously clenched below.

There was quite a lot collected in the beaker. He had *jaculated so forcefully that some didn’t make it into the beaker and stained her clothes.

She wiped the s*men from her chest and belly with tissues, then carefully cleaned his still-*rect member.

“Thank you for your effort. I’ll contact you separately with the results. In the meantime, if you notice any problems, please let me know right away.”

Evan’s eyes were brimming with tears. She wondered if she should say something, but stopped, worried it might sound like pity.

“You can get dressed and come out.”

Daphne maintained a professional demeanor until he left, not wanting to add to his emotional wounds. The s*men collection process had been a bit unusual, but it was still a medical procedure.

Daphne looked down at her palm, still feeling the vivid sensation. She hadn’t realized a man’s member could be so hot. Her hand stung as if she’d been burned, so she rubbed her palm against her clothes.

“Anyway, let’s go home. I have to work tomorrow.”

No matter how late she left work, she still had to come in at the same time. Daphne hurriedly packed her bag and dashed out of the infirmary as if fleeing.

“…Deployment?”

“Yes. Isn’t this out of nowhere? I heard the Knight Order was being reorganized, but I didn’t think it would be this abrupt…. Anyway, the new knights are your responsibility, so pack your things in advance. Ugh, I was supposed to go out with the kids this weekend, but now I can’t again.”

Daphne wasn’t the only one flustered by the situation. Hailey, who had been boasting for days about taking her kids to the lake, now looked red and blue in the face. Daphne checked the official notice that had just arrived.

<Imperial Knight Order Competency Certification Exam>

The targets were the newly inducted knights. This exam, designed to assess practical ability, was usually conducted after basic training. However, with the reorganization this year, it seemed they wanted to evaluate the new knights’ abilities and tailor training accordingly.

Training according to each person’s level was much more efficient, but she simply didn’t want to believe they’d have to leave just when things were finally settling down after the contraception procedures.

“At least it’s not far from here.”

“That’s really a relief. Remember last time, when we had to go far? Just loading the supplies was a job in itself. If we run out of something, ordering more is a pain, and getting there takes forever. If it were even closer, we could commute from home, but that’s a shame.”

Hailey pouted, grumbling. Daphne half-listened to her as she turned the page. There were quite a few supplies to prepare.

There were more items than personnel. There were a few odd points, but since these were orders from above, she had no reason to complain. To keep to the schedule, Daphne compared the warehouse inventory to the needed quantities and made a list.
