Well well well, long time no see fuckers. This is Absol currently speaking and on behalf of the author I wanted to say he apologizes for not updating this sooner because he's to lazy. Oops was I not meant to say that? Well I dont give a shit he told me to tell you all his oh so devoted fans that he will start updating soon as he takes a break from writing to enjoy summer a little but hes finally done this little OVA type chapter to get back in the swing of things so enjoy and I promise I wont kill him
Also this takes place during that five month stint of being in prison for anyone wondering where this takes place
He says he doesn't own kancolle only Montana and me, though I'm nobodies bitch but enjoy either way
"Ah, its so hot!" Absol moaned in my head.
"Wells whose fault is it that broke the air conditioning in the room!" I groaned to him as I layed on the bed stripped down to the bare minimums of just a shirt and loose fitting shorts.
The air conditioning unit in question sat in the window smoking and badly dented. "What that thing was pissing me off! It wasn't working fast enough!" Absol complained back.
"Well those things take time to work they aren't instantaneous in their working, so thanks to you we are stuck in an oven and we are supposed to be cleaning up the Kreigsmarine's room but…"I trailed off as my mind was muddled from the heat.
"Well, we cant cause...it's...to...hot!" Absol moaned. As even he was getting exhausted with the heat.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and sat up as I looked around the mostly cleaned room. The beds were made, the floor was cleaned, the only thing that was left was Bismarcks corner of things. Heaving a sigh I stood up and flattened out the rumpled sheets of Eugens bed. Moving to the bathroom, I did another check and nodded in satisfaction that it was cleaned.
"Well we have some time to kill, so what are we to do?" I asked to no one in particular.
Suddenly, I heard noises coming up from the hall that sounded like running feet. "Now that sounds like something to do." Absol said sounding extremely relieved.
His form came into my view as he looked outside the door and down the hall. I noticed that his hood was down and that it was a little creepy to see an exact image of myself in him, just with black hair and ice blue eyes. He looked back at me with a smile on his face.
"Seems some of the girls are coming this way wearing swimsuits, and I think, they'll want us to join them." He said with a little bit of a mischievous glare in his eyes.
"They're more to come get me." I say and not more than a few seconds later the door opens all the way to reveal Eugen, Bismarck, Arizona, and Fubuki wearing swimsuits and carrying beach umbrellas and towels.
"Montana there you are!" Eugen said happily, "We've been looking for you!" She took a step into the room and almost immediately started sweating. "Heilige Scheiße!" Eugen cried out, "You've been cleaning in this heat!? Why didn't you turn on the air conditioning?"
"Well…" I glanced at the destroyed unit.
"Well we gotta get you out of this heat!" She said reaching into her bag and pulling out some swim trunks. "Put these on and meet us outside, a lot of fleetgirls are going to the beach today." She said with a smile.
"Oh and Montana, what do you think of our swimsuits?" Arizona said with a seductive like smile.
I could feel my face go bright red. "Yeah does this look cute on me and Bismarck?" Eugen asked with an innocent smile on her face.
I chance a look and look at the four of them. Bismarck and Eugen both wear matching grey bikinis colored with black and white camo going up the sides with hints of red. Arizona wore a frilly bikini that had stripes running down it. Fubuki was a little embarrassed as she wore a sailor uniform styled bikini with a blue frilled skirt.
"You guys look….good." I say cautiously trying to stop myself from looking at their chests.
"Thanks Montana! Now hurry up and change or we'll leave you behind." EUgen bounced away followed by Bismarck and Fubuki.
"I know where your eyes were drawn." Arizona said with a slight laugh before following them.
"Well that was a test of your libido." Absol said laughing.
"Shut up asshole." I snapped as I looked at the swim trunks Eugen had brought.
They were a pair of black shorts with a snaking green design going up the sides. "Seems like thats trying to tell us something,"Absol said in a curious tone as he looks at it.
"And what might that be?" I asked.
"Well we do have that sort of personality of a viper or a snake with quick and deadly strikes, but thats probably just me, you're more of a slow moving turtle with your reaction time."
Hey!" I said in protest but he had vanished. "Why does he have to be such a dick." I grumbled as I pulled on the swim trunks and got a towel.
Putting on a pair of sunglasses, i looked myself in the mirror, and nodding in satisfaction, I headed out of the room and out the front doors where Eugen sat waiting.
"Good you showed up, now come on we gotta go get a good spot before all the good ones are taking so come on!" She took my hand and at almost a run led me towards the beach.
The day was near beautiful with the sun shining brightly and clouds. If the heat wasnt so hot it would've been perfect. I saw numerous girls wearing swimsuits and carrying towels heading in the same direction as us. I spotted Shoukaku wearing a white and red frilly bikini. I could feel Absol being drawn to her like a moth to a flame.
"And who was the one who told me about testing my libido" I laughed at him in my head. "The savage beast is crumbling at the sight of the innocent and pure crane."
"If you dont shut up I swear I'll rip your balls off and feed the to you." Absol growled back.
"Wouldn't that be hurting you as well?" I asked smugly as he immediately shut up.
I heard the beach before I saw it as we made our way along a path through some shaded trees. When we broke back through to the sunshine, I had to shield my eyes as they readjusted to the light. When I could see, I was surprised at the amount of girls that were on the beach.
"Well for most guys this is what heaven would look like," Absol said in surprise as he appeared next to me wearing swim trunks and wearing only his cloak. His chest was exposed and I rolled my eyes. "What? I can't actually enjoy the beach?"
"Come on I found a good spot!" Eugen pointed and dragged me over to one of the bare areas where she laid her towel down and set up the beach umbrella.
Bismarck and Arizona set up theirs next to ours while Fubuki went off looking for Yuudachi and Mutsuki. "Seems the lesbo sisters are to our right" Absol said rolling his eyes.
I looked over to my right and saw Ooi putting sun lotion on Kitakamis back "Absol thats really rather rude." I said quietly as Eugen finished setting everything up.
"Alright now theres one thing thats left to do and I'm going to need your help Montana." Eugen said poking me in the shoulder.
"And whats that?" I asked turning around.
"Can you put sunscreen on my back?" She asked laying down.
"W-what?" I asked almost immediately my face getting red.
"Oh man up and do it, and dont do anything risque." Absol said with a sneer as he leaned back in the beach chair. "Go on don't mind me, I just wanna see how this turns out."
I gave him the finger before turning back to Eugen who had undone her bikini and was lying down on the towel. "Come on the bottles right here" she turns her head aand hands me the bottle."
Taking a gulp I kneel next to her and squirt some of it into my hand. It's a little cold. "I can do it, don't think anything bad. Just do it." I said to myself over and over as I lowered my hands and touched her back.
As soon as my hands touched she gasped. "I-I'm sorry!" I said quickly.
"No, no its fine Montana, I was just surprised at how cold it was, you can keep going." Eugen said with a relaxing sigh as my hands rubbed in the sunscreen. "Oh, your hands feel good." She sighed.
It felt like an eternity but it actually lasted a minute, before I finished and tied her bikini again. She sat up and gave me a smile. "You should be a masseuse in my opinion." She said happily. 'Your hands felt really relaxing, but anyways, lets get some sunscreen on you. Take off your shirt."
I look at her and hesitate before a smile from Absol made me take it off. I heard Eugen gasp in surprise. "Is something wrong?" I ask her and I could see her cheeks have some red to them.
"No just this is the first time i've seen you like this and well I didn't know you were so...well built." She said a little embarrassed.
I looked at myself and I didn't really consider myself to be like most guys girls considered hot, as I did have a decent build but not the type girls would flock to. Suddenly I felt her finger trace a scar that ran across my chest. "You have so many scars on you." She said as her finger gently traced another.
"Yes...many battles resulted in these, but I'm fine Eugen ok." I say with a smile and pat her head, "Now didn't you say that you were going to put sunscreen on me?"
She nods and has me turn around as she rubs it on. "There now your done, so lets go swimming!" She jumps up and takes my arm and drags me to the water.
I can feel quite a few of the other girls staring at me as I went by. "Seems you've become a celebrity with that body of yours." Absol snickers as her stands in the water next to me.
"Absol will you ever learn as to control your mouth?" I ask pointedly as Eugen splashes water at some of the other girls as she smiles and laughs.
"Only when you stop building a harem here." He says crossing his arms.
"I've said I don't know how many times I'm not building a harem here!" I give him a glare.
He raises an eyebrow. "Really, uh huh then explain to me Burke, Eugen, Bismarck, Iowa, Arizona, and yes creepy how our former self likes you. For gods sake even the destroyers like you! Like look at Fubuki and god knows who else."
I look at Eugen, at her playing in the water, and to the shore where Burke was helping the destroyers build sandcastles. Bismarck and the battleships were mostly eating or getting tans going.
"Technically your the only guy here and god we have a decent body so yeah building a harem."
"If I could punch you I would, but I would look foolish." I said grudgingly.
"Montana, who are you talking to?" The voice of Shoukaku said behind me.
"Oh Shoukaku!" I say in surprise as Absol wheels around as well. "I was just talking to myself." I say sheepishly laughing, "Is there something you need?"
Shoukaku smiled, "Yes, i was wondering if you would like to come and join us for some watermelons and suikawari?"
"Sure, but whats suikawari?" I ask as I follow her. Absol is on her other side looking at her body and her swimsuit.
"Oh you'll see." She said with a smile as she led me to where she, Zuikaku, Kaga and Akagi sat.
Kaga was restraining Akagi from eating all the food while Zuikaku was building a sand castle. She looked up as we approached. "Oh hello Montana you came to play suikawari?" She asked.
"Still as flat as ever." Absol snickered as he sat between Kaga and Zuikaku.
"Yes and the watermelons." I said.
"Well you have a tough challenger, Kaga is quite good at it as she always hits it perfectly and cracks it." Zuikaku says with a little glare at Kaga who has her usual expressionless face.
"Well I think I can do it." I say rubbing the back of my head sheepishly.
"Well confidence is key as all these girls have tried to beat Kaga but couldn't so your the newest person here so lets see what you have." Shoukaku says as she picks up two melons and places them in the sand. "Alright Kaga you can go first." She hands her a stick and blindfold.
Kaga stands and ties the blindfold on as girls gathered around as she moves toward the melon, her stick raised it as the girls yelled and laughed as she made her way towards the melon and in an almost fluid motion, she slammed the stick down square on the melon with a solid hit causing it to split perfectly. The girls cheered and clapped as Kaga took off her blindfold and handed the stick to me.
"Good luck." She said in her monotone.
"Alright Montana the objective is hit the melon with the stick and split it, but you're gonna be blindfolded and moved a little." Shoukaku says as she ties the blindfold on and moves me. "When your done we can eat the melon. And to beat Kaga you gotta get a good hit as Kaga gets it in one hit most the other girls get it in two or three so good luck!"Her voice has a chipper to it as the girls begin cheering.
"I can do it as I know exactly where the melon is." Absol says.
"You just wanna show off, but fine go ahead," I say relinquishing control to him as I get a third person view of him.
The girls are cheering and yelling at where the melon is as Absol stops and takes a breath before turning and heading straight at the melon. He stops before it and I see his arms tense before he brings it down on the melon with a loud Thwak! The air is still before suddenly I realize he hadn't fully gone finished his swing and was powering through. The ground around diveted down as the force of the impact caught up with it and the melon was pushed deeper into the sand before it almost seemed like the ground itself was cracking and with a monstrous roar sand exploded everywhere as a loud boom emanated from Absols impact, completely evaporating and decimating the melon.
"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ABSOL!" I yelled at him in shock as the sand rained back down on everyone. "You didn't need to go full throttle!" I forcefully pushed him out and took control again as I took off the blindfold and looked at the shocked expressions around me.
"Uh, sorry…" I say embarrassed and sheepishly, while my thoughts yell and argue with Absol.
I look at where the melon used to be and all thats left is a crater with only little bits of melon left. Shoukaku is the first to recover. "Well, that was a surprising show of force." She said laughing and smiling, "I can say that you're now the suikawari champion."
The other girl began to laugh and clap as Kaga gave me a pat and gave me one of her rare smiles. "Come on lets have some melon and enjoy the rest of the day." Shoukaku said handing me a piece as Eugen and the others joined smiling and eating.
The rest of the day was one of the most happiest days as I played with the destroyers in the sand, in the water with quite a few of the girls. Even Absol enjoyed himself in his own way of being around with Shoukaku and at one point I allowed him to take over and spend a little bit with her. As dusk fell the girls gathered on the beach to eat the food they brought and watch as fireworks went up and exploded with flurries of colors. Eugen stood and watched with a smile on her face.
"I wish that we can have many more days like this." SHe said in wonder as the fireworks kept going.
"I do to as well and I hope that these girls stay happy." I say as I watch.
I feel her hand slip into mine. "Thanks for coming today, I really enjoyed it." She said as she looked at me.
"I did to Eugen and thanks for bringing me." I smile at her.
"Hey what do you two think your doing?" I hear Bismarck's voice from behind me.
"Oh boy cat fight." Absol says with a smile.
"Who said you can hold hands with him?" Burke says as she comes up to me and soon I'm surrounded by Bismarck, Eugen Burke and Arizona.
"Uh I can share, uh you don't need to- Wah!" I cry as they topple onto me
The fireworks explode above as I hear Absol laugh and for the first time it sounds like a genuine and happy laugh and I can't help but smile to myself. I wished that happy days like these will always come and happen. And I promised that I would always protect those I cared for.
But war has that way of bringing pain and darkness and I would always think back to that day on the beach in those desperate times and smile with the heartwarming feeling of those girls as I knew inevitably in the future I would face my most challenging opponent. But that memory would always push me forward through hellfire and death and I always will remember their faces and their smiles.
Absol leave you screwed that up in the beginning so much so just go..thats it get out of this room, go on, good little sadistic bastard! I heard that comment!
I'm truly sorry guys, Absols been a bit moody with me not continuing like I used to but unlike him I've had a life of work and school and I wanted to enjoy summer but I've decided to get back in the swing of things so I made this OVA chapter to satisfy you guys and i hope you all enjoy it. And if anyone wants to draw Montana or Absol they can go ahead as Absol really wants some fanart (though hes specific of who it comes from but me personally am happy with anyone)
But Again im sorry guys for not keeping up with things but I'm back into it soi please like comment and favorite me and the story as it boosts Absol's ego and hes actually kind of great when hes happy, Oh also Montana says hi (hes currently arguing with Absol) but I hope to see you guys all in the next chapter
