The Male Zerg Only Wants to Be a Space Pirate

I'm badly stuck on the plot and sorting things out. I'll resume the other novel once I've finished this one.

Free novel. Chuunibyou and heroism. If you have strong likes or dislikes, read at your own discretion.

An Fei hides his male zerg identity and grows up in a space pirate crew.

As the pampered young master, with plenty to eat and drink, his only wish is to become a famous wandering hero, punishing the wicked, helping the weak, and robbing the rich to help the poor.

Space pirate crew: Great! Applause!

It sounds like a fantasy, but as long as the young master is happy, that's what matters!

Nice words, but they're still space pirates, so long-running clashes with the military are unavoidable.

Then one day, the military female who'd been relentlessly trying to wipe them out suddenly went quiet.

An Fei (hands on hips): Obviously, he's finally given in to my persistence! I've lost again and again, but kept coming back, and now he doesn't dare oppose us anymore!

Space pirate crew: Applause!

It doesn't sound very convincing, but just play along!

The space pirate captain, who knows some of the truth: ...

Should I tell the kid that his endlessly discussed archenemy is close to death?

Xie Guan is a military female who has spent years fighting in the field, always tasked with wiping out the space pirate crews that cause trouble.

Then, after an accident, Xie Guan angers the authorities, is exiled and demoted to female slave, and is about to be sold at auction. His life is about to be buried in the abyss.

On the auction stage, the harsh glare of a cheap spotlight shines on him, forcing tears from his eyes that he can't control.

The crowd below roars, and the bids keep climbing.

Through the blur, he seems to spot a familiar zerg. It looks like the enemy he's faced countless times since he began fighting the space pirates.

The same person he can't let go of, hidden deep in his heart.

If he hadn't happened to learn the other's gender, if he hadn't fallen for him over their many encounters...

Would that esteemed gentleman even realize that the commander facing him now was a different zerg?

As An Fei approaches adulthood, he needs a female to help him through his hormone heat. The space pirate captain drags him to an auction to pick one out.

An Fei is bored and nodding off when the sudden commotion wakes him.

Space pirate captain: The kid woke up at just the right time. He must be interested in this one. Buy him!

An Fei: That description sounds so familiar...

Wait.

Isn't this the zerg who's always been on our tail, causing trouble?

*

Since he'd already bought him, An Fei had no choice but to stick to his original plan and train the other into his personal bodyguard.

"The space pirate crew doesn't keep useless zergs. You'd better survive your trial period."

Xie Guan, once a space pirate hunter and now an unclaimed female slave, lowered his head and knelt respectfully before his former enemy. His once-proud bearing was nowhere to be seen.

"It would be my honor, Your Excellency."

To meet you again is the greatest fortune of my life.
