Chapter 7
A Deal With a Snake
(Terumi Pov)
"Hey you worthless bastard say that again and I'll make your head into a damn doormat!" I growled at my new "teammate" "Otherwise the piece of shit who makes that damn vampire look like the life of the party." He scoffed before returning with
"I'm calling it how I see it snake your attitude and methods are unorthodox, a complete waste of time and or a compromisation to the entire security of this mission." I didn't have his name but, I just went with the nickname I elected for him.
"Yeah yeah snowflake keep whining about my plan only thing you're fighting for is your payroll anyway so why does it matter if we compromise our security a bit, sides we do this and Rags'll come running." Relius was watching from the sidelines one of the shipgirls at his side. The girl was sticking to him like my foot to Rags face. "Hey Reliy I get you're the observing type but, can you explain to this moron how my plan will work before I shove my foot so far up snowflake's ass he could be mistaken for being gay." Relius sighed putting a hand to his face before saying
"What my violent ally is proposing is that we should give Ragna a reason to come to us however brutish it may be." That's when snowflake said
"I know that but, why would he come to us it's obvious, it would be a trap." I laughed lightly before saying
"Oh believe me snowflake Rags would kill the entire governmental power in this world to get to me." He looked skeptical but, I knew it was truthful because I was speaking from experience. He sighed before replying
"Fine your plan snake will be a last resort at best for now we will wait for my scout's reports then, we'll make a final decision." I growled annoyed at his aggravatingly boring strategy I commented
"Whatever you sack of annoying shit I could catch him quick and easy if you let me but, no you're going to be a bitchy coward." he gave me a cold glare before replying
"You're lowly to call me a coward when you're willing to throw innocent lives into the fire for your own gain." I returned his earlier scoff before saying
"Really now snowflake I think you forgetting one thing about me." he gave me a curious look before asking me through clenched teeth
"And that would be you snake?" I gave him a sly grin before starting to walk off glancing over my shoulder I said
"I'm not here to take orders from some mercenary stiff, I'm here to beat Rags ass drag him to the imperator and kick every ass I can while doing it." I then walked out of the office kicking the door closed behind me while thinking "What a bastard I guess I'll let this play out for now." as I headed for the top of the ship a voice called out to me
"Heyyyy wait up !" I looked behind me she was up to my chin in height, she had green hair that went down to her stomach in a long single twisted braid,blue eyes that shone with exaggerated innocence, her dress was red with a white undershirt and a blue neck ribbon.
"What do you want if you're here to tell me off about telling your bastard boss that I'm right then you can go fuck off." she nodded no before giving me a friendly smile stating
"Oh no worries I hate him too I find your personality so much more attractive." I raised an eyebrow to her statement. I picked at my ear as if I was taunting little raggy or one of his pesky brat-like ally's commenting
"Oh did I hear you right I think you just said you find my personality attractive you must be one fucked up bitch eh?" she giggled putting a hand to her mouth before the innocent glow in her eyes changed to a sadistic gleam.
"Hehe really Terumi-chan you think I'm fucked up you're the one who keeps such a feral look in your eye, I wonder what you might do to such an innocent girl like me given the chance?" I rolled my eyes before growling out
"I'm a murderer,sadist, manipulative asshole and 7 different types of devilish bastard but, I'm not a rapist there are lines even I won't dare to cross." She then gave me a smirk the innocence returning to her eyes while saying.
"Of course but, you see what I mean is I think you'd lead us a lot better than Kirago-tan can." I gave her a confused look before chuckling out
"Really nice to know but, you see I've got enough on my plate as is I don't need to drag a bunch of whiny bitches around with me." she nodded before switching back to the more cruel looking personality laying her back against the safety rung.
"Oh we can just kill off those that are against your coup d'etat and those that approve of you live hehe." she slipped a knife from her shirt I was about to ask where she kept it when she said"I have a pocket secretly sewn into my undershirt's inside because I have such a moderate bust..if you were interested in knowing." she had a seductive look in her eye as she spoke of her chest.
"Why would ya think I give a rat's ass about your breast size?" I questioned as she giggled going back to her innocent persona saying
"Oh I never said you were Admiral Terumi so are you in on the coup or not?" I thought it over for a few more minutes before complying with.
"Fine if it shuts you up for the moment." I had to wonder however why haven't I just killed this little flirty bitch yet?
(Yuugumo Pov)
I smiled at the admiral to be my plan was going to be perfect. "My name is Yuugumo for reference Admiral Terumi….and about my chest." I smirked as he gripped his head in annoyance before saying
"You may be too much like me for either of our goods Yuu-chan. " I giggled at him he had already awarded me with a pet name I honestly think he's my perfect match he he. He then walked off again probably to go lie down I doubt coming from another world is easy on the body. As I walked away I noticed a shadow scurrying off in the same direction as Admiral so I quickly followed behind it. After a few minutes I jumped on the shadow it seems though my Admiral to be had a similar plan as he had gripped the girl by the neck of her shirt before I could land on her.
"So start talkin you little twerp who are you." my eyes widened it was an abyssal ship at that a Rei class though it was obvious there were modifications to her. Terumi's eyes then turned to me as I was laying on the ground I had a sheepish grin saying
"Hey Terumi I saw this little punk following you so I was gonna stab her in the back." he nodded with a suspicious look before turning his glare back to the abyssal in his hands. She answered without him asking a second time.
"My name is Prototype Abyssal class no.06 Ren my job currently is to hunt and secure the new abyssal admiral through scanning for the unique energy signature released by his right arm." I was surprised before Terumi growled out
"You're shitting me there's another group out for Rags ass joy looks like my job got harder.." I then commented
" or easier Terumi think about it she's programmed to hunt him down right she's the perfect tool for the job no?" he gave me a smirk before saying
"Guess your right so twerp you wanna catch Rags eh fine you help us track his ass and, he's all yours...after I give a good few "words" to him deal?" she nodded before saying
"Deal has been accepted….I shall put my trust in you.. Do not cross me." I mentally whistled she had some bolts loose to say that to both of us. I then thought
"I'll pay her back for such things later after the coup and betrayal...I'll deliver her head straight to Terumi-sama hehe." I may have been blowing my crush out of the proportions but, I have the "all is for my lord" mentality hehe.
"Riiight short stuff just don't go mouthing off to me unless you wanna be scrap metal." she nodded with a smile and I sighed why did he have to accept her so easily isn't he a bastard?
(Terumi pov)
"First this Yuugumo bitch now Ren this just keeps getting better at this point I need 3 more and I can pull a second 6 hero hat trick haha they'll be begging for me to make it quick when I kill em all." ran through my head dryly as I was followed by both an idiot who made a deal with me and a girl who obviously makes a certain vessel of mine look like a nice guy.
(Relius Pov)
I looked at the girl who had persistently followed me silently with a nervous look finally I gave her the attention she either feared deeply or hoped to gain. "Hmm Miss I noticed you've been following me about who might you be?" she blinked before gulping slightly at me. She twirled some of her black hair with her finger before stuttering out
"I'm Shigure Kai a Shiratsuyu destroyer class sir Clover I..I've been trying to talk to you but, I'm a lowly shipgirl ." I looked at her before saying
"Well you're speaking with me now so say what you wish and do let your boss know I apologize for my coworkers approach on telling him his ideals." she nodded before saying
"Y..you you're a scientist right?" I nodded I wondered where she was going with this"Th..then could you m..modify me and make me better?" This was interesting she did seem like a proper subject her lean design and light weaponry could be improved drastically.
"Hmmm I could but, give me a good reason as to why I should?" she blinked before blushing and saying
"Y..you c..can use me as you please afterwards I'll be your pet,slave whatever you may consider me it's better than serving my current admiral." I looked at her before smiling replying with
"Fine that is enough come with me so the experiment may begin." she nodded following close behind me with a shy look.
(Ryo Pov)
I slightly coughed as Ragna gave me a skeptical look this was going to be tough to lie out of this one. "So Ryo why the hell are we back in port already?!" he asked through a growl and I replied with
"Oh you know I thought Shimakaze would like seeing her sister for a bit longer...I also forgot some stuff I ordered right Kongou?" I asked the shipgirl who was forcing me to do this I may be an Admiral but, I'm not suicidal in my judgement after all.
"Yes Admiral forgot some ammunition for me and some others Ragna." he nodded and I mentally sighed and Ragna then commented
"Guess your right and it'll be good for Shirakaze to meet Amatsukaze properly." I nodded before saying
"Hmp your right on that then the three girls can bond and be a very tight sibling group." Ragna nodded I could tell he really cared for the shipgirls it was admirable.
"He sees a chance most people wouldn't with those three becoming a family it's probably because he lost his." I reasoned in my head before telling him "Yeah and since we're here you should go out with Kongou like you said you would." he gave me a wide-eyed look and Kongou gave an approving smile I did my best to mentally apologize.
"W..Well I would but, Shirakaze would go ballistic and let's not forget about the damn bunny leech." I figured he would bring those points up and countered with
"Oh don't worry you forget I'm more than your average Admiral I set up a complete competitive gaming setup and introduced it to them even the pompous vampire princess is under the power of otaku fighting games haha!" I pumped my fist into the air and then he sighed
"Tch fine if that's the case I'll go but, don't expect me to dress up." Kongou then smiled saying
"No need Ragna I don't plan to wear anything fancy in fact we could get going right now!" she hopped up and dragged the white haired rebel out of my office with a smile I just hoped this wouldn't come back to bite me.
"She really is obsessive about the guy for one reason or another to threaten my manga collection yeesh."
(20 minutes later Ragna Pov)
I walked with Kongou around the town for awhile until she finally stopped at a small restaurant it looked pretty fancy for it's size. "Uhh Kongou I don't have any money so?" she giggled before saying
"Admiral got us reservations for the free meal vip so it's fine." I felt like we were being followed as we entered the restaurant. Walking in I could tell we stuck out like sore thumbs between all the rich men and women. Feeling their stares on me I shot cold glares at them to make'em back off as I heard one such giggle from I'm guessing a daughter of one of the pompous bastards
"Wooow that guy's gotta be one of those bad boy type's I mean check out that jacket?" I then heard her friend's response
"Definitely that or he's the bruiser type who acts angry all the time while caring for other people." I heard more of those comments and some piss poor excuses for insults as we went to our table annoying enough in the middle of the room. After ordering I thought
"Great I'm in a restaurant without the ability to jump out of a window with hundreds of rich snobs around me great juuust great." Me and Kongou chatted which helped alleviate the gnawing feeling of throwing a rich ass hat through a wall. A woman had come by with our drinks.
"Ragna are you sure about not trying to champaigne here it's supposed to be legendary?"I nodded before saying
"Yeah me and alcohol don't mix just don't drink too much alright?" she then told me
"I know how to stop drinking!" a few drinks later she had passed out while I thought
"Damn and I thought Noel couldn't hold her drinks." I myself had laid down drinking after Kagura used a personal brew to make me pass out and drag me to where a certain group of fans were."I'll need to pay that bastard back after I kick Jin's ass for making that situation a possibility." I shook in light fear before hearing a voice to my left say
"Your order ." I turned my head to see not a waitress with a tray of food instead it was a girl about half my height with a gun pointed at my head. "You're coming with me my bos has been ordered to capture you." the gun barrel covered her entire arm was it wrong for me to think this was more cute than menacing.
"Can I eat before we go and tear this place apart?" it was a simple question one that made her hesitate for a second before glaring at me.
"Are you stupid you and your ally right there are drunk,disarmed and at the moment being held at gunpoint you've lost." I rolled my eyes Tsubaki was more threatening than this and I half-considered her threats as more of a joke.
"And do you know who you're dealing with?" I asked her she then said
"Doesn't matter you're just one human I could take you down in my augh!' as she went to insult me again I had raised my fist and slammed it into her stomach before doing a heavy kick.
"And your scrap metal." she slammed through two tables and, crashed into the wall making the room go silent. Kongou shot up at the noise while the girl stood up. She pulled a phone out saying.
"Sir I have the target he's at the northern edge of the town at the Emerald Lion." She then dusted herself off as people ran from the building.
"So just who are you?" I asked while adjusting my collar she then corrected her headband before saying.
"I am Natori Kai you're going down Ragna!" I sighed not like I hadn't heard someone tell me that before.
