The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

ON the military base of Emperor Star, there was a certain area that most ordinary soldier avoided.  Not because they were not allowed to enter it, but because it was the area dedicated to Fenris Squad. 

Everyone knew how most people in that army was a battle maniac.  They had learned in a hard way that if they ever tried to argue with the people from that army, they would be the one who would regret it in the end.  Because those guys didn't care about anyone's identity.  They're not afraid to be punished.  Probably because they knew that if they were in the right, their general – the White Wolf of Alluna – would definitely help them.

This particular area was given the name 'Fang'.  Not only to allude the name of the squad, but because the shape of this area was almost akin to the shape of a sharp fang.  Maybe because this area was made specifically for the Fenris Squad.

The Fenris Squad didn't have its own military base.  Because, unlike the other four armies, they didn't have their own territory to protect.  But in turn, they were allowed to have an area dedicated for them at every military base of each galaxy.

Because Fenris Squad was currently at the capital for an indefinite period of time, the Fang was currently occupied. 

This area had their own cafeteria, training area, and medical bay.  They even had a separate dormitory where most of its soldier stayed.  Not very surprising.  Since most member of this army were orphans or from the poorest part of the Empire.

Hildred just woke up from his nap and was on his way to the cafeteria to have dinner.  While walking, he was looking through his [Cyberspace].  It was kind of a habit.  Because he enjoyed reading the gossips of famous people.  It's like eating melons for free.  Especially when its about those hypocritical nobles.  Once he saw one, he would join in the fun using his troll account.

He was swiping on the hot topic list when a particular topic attracted his attention.

It was a clip of a teenager removing his cap and eyeglasses.  It might not attract the attention of people if not for the color of the teenager's hair and eyes.  Which was both black. 

He stared at the teenager and his brows wrinkled for a second.  Wasn't this the boy from planet Delryria?  According to the comments he read, there was some incident in some mall at one of the city centers of the capital.  And this teenager was involved in it.  Wait- more importantly, what was this boy doing in the capital? 

Should he report this to Wulf?

He remembered when Wulf asked his opinion about that recording that showed the boy crying and being scared shitless.  Wulf seemed to be very concerned about the boy.  It was the first time he saw him asking someone's opinion about another.  Because usually, with Wulf, people were just either tolerable or unlikable.  And then, there was a special category of 'interesting'.  Once Wulf's curiosity was fed, those he found interesting would still fall on the usual category of tolerable or unlikable. 

So, he thought that Wulf probably found that boy 'interesting'.  After all, the other had the looks to attract attention.  But since Wulf showed him that recording, he guessed that their general most probably lost any curiosity he had with the teenager.  Because Wulf disliked people crying and blatantly showing weakness.  His guess was further proven by the fact that after Wulf showed him that recording, the other never talked about his experience at Delryria again.  As if it never happened.

So, now, he's wondering if showing this trending topic to Wulf would even matter.

Before he could answer that, he saw Edmund walking ahead.  He turned off his Terminal and dashed forward.  Then he jumped on the other's back.  The topic he was thinking just now completely forgotten.

----------

Astrid and Reas just finished eating dinner.  They spent the whole afternoon unpacking and cleaning.  The mattress he ordered for Reas already arrived alongside the groceries.  He bought a week-worth of groceries.  But there's still a lot of things that he needed to buy.  One of which was the housekeeping robot.

He was still not decided on what model to buy.  Since there's a ton of them out there.  He just wanted something simple but had all the important functions.  It would even be better if it wasn't that expensive.  Although he had money, he didn't want to waste it on useless purchase.

"Maybe you should buy a medical cabin," Reas suddenly said.

Yup, like that one.  A useless purchase.  "Why did you suddenly think of that?"

Reas shrugged.  "It would be helpful if you suddenly get injured."

Astrid looked at his brother amusedly.  "If I remember correctly, you're the military student.  Not me.  First-aid kit will suffice for me."  He saw that the other still had something to say, so he sat down beside him and said, "Let's just call Mom and Dad and tell them that we arrived here safely."

Reas reluctantly nodded.

Astrid dialed his mother's number on his Terminal.  Soon, his call was picked up and their mother's beautiful face appeared on the virtual screen.

"Hey, Mom," he and Reas greeted.

Emmy looked at her babies and let out a sigh of relief seeing that the two seemed to have arrived at the capital with no problem.  "Are you two at Astrid's apartment?"

"Yes.  Does Mom want me to tour you around?"

"Yes, please do so," Emmy didn't hesitate to say.  This would be Astrid's home for quite a while.  She had to see if it was good enough for her baby.  "Oh, wait- let's wait for your Dad.  That guy would surely complain if we left him out."

"Is Dad still in the farm?" Astrid asked.

Emmy nodded.  "Harvest season is near, so, everyone is starting to get busy."

They didn't have to wait long because after about 15 minutes, Gage arrived.  And so, Astrid's virtual tour of his apartment started.  That lasted for almost half an hour.  Because his parents just wanted to see everything.  At the end, the two were satisfied with what they saw.

After the 'tour', the family of four talked for another hour before saying goodnight to one another.

"It looks like the news about that hostage taking didn't reach Mom and Dad," Reas commented, seeing as how his parents didn't even mention it.

"That's natural.  The Grimaldis certainly wouldn't want that incident to be on the top news considering it involved their young master," Astrid said.  "But let me check [Cyberspace].  Maybe someone posted about it."

But what he didn't expect was that he would actually find himself on the top 50 trending topic list.
