After leaving Jordan seething with anger Sam felt somewhat refreshed as he headed for the library.


    The base he was stationed in had many recreational facilities where soldiers could go to unwind, after all the stress of not knowing when the monsters would attack built quite fast.


    One such facility was the library. In this day and age everyone preferred the much more convenient ebooks, however Sam took a liking to the good old paper and ink. After the Cmities ran rampant through the world a lot of libraries were destroyed and books were lost. The ones on the military bases are what''s still left intact, found by the soldiers who would bring back a few when they go out scavenging in the abandoned cities.


    Sam entered the building and a smile immediately formed on his face. As usual, the entire ce was empty. Very few came here which made it the best ce to rx and read. For someone who had very few friends this was a sanctuary where one can hide from the unpleasantness of the Human Resistance''s military bases.


    This is heaven! He thought as he took a deep breat enjoying the scent of peace.


    The first thing in order was to find another book for Shizuru. He went to theputers ced near the entrance and searched the author''s name. A list appeared showing all the books that had been recovered.


    "Alright then…"


    Picking a title at random he was about to go to its ce on the shelves to retrieve it, but as he got up he noticed someone entering the building, a Male soldier he didn''t recognize, though from the way he carried himself he didn''t seem to be that much into books.


    Letting out a sigh Sam decided to ignore the stranger and went on with what he came for. First he got the book he had picked earlier, then he would go around checking random titles to see if anything sounds interesting, but the next moment he stopped in his tracks.


    "Valkyrie… smash…?"


    Right beside the book he had just picked was a rather thin and small paperback with a strange title. He reached for it out of curiosity, checking the cover to see what it''s about.


    To his surprise it was something printed rather recently which was strange in this world were scarce resources didn''t allow for such luxuries.


    Sam quickly flipped through the pages and just as expected it was one of those eroticas where the main character gets his hands on the humanoid weapons and does what he wants to them.


    It was obvious that such things would be made at some point. The Valkyries were treated as idols by a lot of people, and they were all extremely gorgeous women. He was sure fanfiction sites are flooded with this type of stories.


    "Damn, this guy''s writing sucks."


    Just from the few first pages alone Sam began to notice typos and spelling mistakes. The whole thing looked like something made by someone who''d learned a little bit of English and went directly to writing novels. From theck of editing Sam began to wonder if this was just one of those fanfics in print format. What he didn''t understand was why they''d do something like this for such a worthless work?


    "This is disgusting…" he said with a smile.


    "What is?" Someone asked.


    Startled by the voice Sam jumped away, almost losing his bnce and falling.


    "Huh? N-Nine!? What are you doing here?" He said feeling blood draining from his face.


    Standing in front of him was someone he had never expected to meet outside hisb; the blond haired Valkyrie Nine.


    "Well…" she started, shifting her gaze awkwardly. "I had some free time so…"


    "Aren''t you supposed to be on standby in case of an attack?" Sam asked.


    "I got bored so I decided to take a walk."


    Once again Sam found himself faced with another strange urrence. While they didn''t have feelings, being androids and all, the Valkyries had preprogrammed personalities that dectated how they''d behave. The patterns of their actions were predictable once one got enough time to observe them, and that''s what made it so strange when they diverge from what they usually do.


    Going to the library wasn''t something Nine would do. Whenever she has free time she''d take care of a small garden beside the Valkyries'' residence or hide in her room, drinking tea and eating snacks. He''d never heard of her passing time in any other way.


    So far she had never had an interest in books. Hering all the way here was a problem in more than one way.


    "You know you can''t be moving around like this." Sam said while checking his surroundings. "What''ll you do if someone sees you?"


    While they had ess to almost all parts of the base, the Valkyries were told to limit themselves to their own residence which was restricted to normal staff and soldiers. Celebrities walking around like they''re normal people would cause a lot of chaos that''d hinder the proper way the base worked.


    "Don''t worry." Nine said, proudly puffing her enormous chest with her hands on her hips. "As you can see, I''ve made sure to disguise myself."


    Sam stared at her for a few seconds trying to figure out what part of what she did could be considering as a disguise.


    She wore one of the female military uniforms, most likely stolen as shown by how tight the chest area looked. Her long golden hair was made into one big braid and the final touch was the pair of sses on her face.


    "Nine, you realize this won''t be fooling anyone, don''t you?"


    He couldn''t believe someone could be so stupid, especially a superputer with a highly advanced AI capable of mimicking human behavior almost perfectly.


    "Eh!? It won''t!?" The Valkyrie backed away looking utterly shocked.


    "What did you expect?" Putting a hand on his forehead, Sam leaned against the bookcase. "Even if you change your clothes and hairstyles, people would still recognize you from a mile away from your silhouette alone."


    After all such erotic body can''t be mistaken. Sam thought, his eyes on the gigantic breasts fighting to free themselves from the tight uniform.


    "I… I see…" Nine said with a nervous smile, her eyes sliding from one corner to the other. "G-d I made sure so stay out of sight, then…"


    "Really?"


    With Sam''s suspicion filled eyes on her, the Valkyrie nodded repeatedly trying to convince him she was saying the truth.


    "I stayed out of sight just in case the disguise doesn''t work. I''m positive no one saw me on the way here."


    "If that''s the case then… it''s fine, I guess. Just make sure you don''t get caught."


    After thinking about it for a moment Sam realized that there is nothing wrong with hering here as long as no one found out. Still it felt somewhat uneptable for a weapon such as her to be moving around unsupervised.


    Still, I got to see something nice…


    The uniform Nine wore was a little small for her. It truly clung to her body emphasizing her curves, especially her huge melons and thick thighs which were covered in stockings.


    If it weren''t for the restrictions that would lead to his death Sam would''ve taken her to some corner around here and did all sort of things to her. Just imagining it caused his wood to rise.


    "Yay!"


    Nine hopped in her ce with a joy filled expression. The movements of her bouncing chest were hypnotizing but thankfully they stopped as she noticed she''d been making too much noise.


    "By the way, Doctor." Taking a step toward him, Nine leaned down peeking at the books in his hand. "What were you reading?"


    Backing away, Sam hid the books behind his back. The first one was fine, but he couldn''t just tell her about the one where her kind get used as sex dolls even if she is incapable of understanding those things.


    "They''re some mystery books I''ve been enjoying recently." He said. "What about you? If you came all the way here then you must have something you want to read, right?"


    Though it''d be strange for her to suddenly start reading books, it''s not as if she''s incapable of doing so. Though since it''d be a problem if the data collected through reading affected their programming, the things Valkyries are allowed to collect data from were limited with anything that doesn''t meet certain criteria being censored or blocked. That meant even if she does pick a book and read it, depending on the contents she might not be able to decipher it at all, failing to understand it no matter how many times she tries.


    Same goes for other media, be it sound or image. One way people could differentiate between humans and Valkyries is by asking certain questions which Valkyries wouldn''t be able to answer even if they''re told the answer beforehand.


    "Well, I usuallye here because not many people are around." Said Nine with a beaming smile. She then put a hand in front of her face and whispered. "Howevertely I''ve found something interesting to watch."


    Raising an eyebrow, Sam wondered what could it be that managed to catch the Valkyrie''s interest so much that she''d starteding here.


    "Come, Doctor." Turning around, the blond Valkyrie waved for him to follow her. "I will show you."
