"Darling~~ I had such a hard time today~~" Hood cry her heart out on my lap. It's nighttime so naturally both of us has retreated back into my room so there wouldn't be any chance of someone barging in and seeing Hood in this pitiful state. "That rude Stella force me to entertain everyone that wanted to visit you." Yeah, she kinda did that, didn't she? I look toward the table where gifts from the girls are lined up. The variety of these gifts sure are extreme from one another. "I wouldn't mind if they leave immediately after handing out their gifts but noooooo, they decide to stay a little bit longer." I can sense some heavy sarcasm from her.
"Shuuuussshhh~~~ It's alright~~" Honestly, I would also be crying my eyes out if I have to deal with all the girls. "Do you want to take a bath or do you want to help me finish some of these gifts? I'm one hundred percent certain that I can't finish all of these myself." Especially the alcohol. Those damn Iron Blood and Northern Parliament! They must be a new breed of stupid if they think alcohol is a good gift for a sick friend.
"I want to take a bath with you." That wasn't part of the offer, Gorilla.
"Sorry but I already did that." I pat Hood gently. "Come on now, you have to take a bath. You reek~~" I snuggle my face up her hair and get a whiff of it. Even after an entire day of work, she still smells so nice.
"Don't wanna~~! I want to be bathed by you~~!" The blond lady start throwing tantrum like a child. Sadly, she doesn't have the same level of cuteness as Eldridge so it didn't work as well as when Eldridge did it. She is still cute though. "I'm too tired~~"
"Alright, alright~~ Calm down, you big baby~~" I pull the baby from my lap and stare straight at her face. "You just want to get busy on the bathroom with me, right?" The baby shakes her head and smiles naughtily. Hey! Make up your mind, idiot. "Fufufufufu~~ Well, let's get naked~~ Can't take a bath with clothes on, right?"
.
.
.
"So that dumb green cat isn't tending the store?" Hood shakes her head as she took a sip of her glass of wine. Is it bad to have a little snack and drink just before bed? It is, isn't it? Eh… being naughty once in a while isn't so bad. "I'm going to torture that dumb cat."
"Fufufufufu~~ Please don't be mad, commander." The lady shakes her glass of wine gently before taking another sip. "She did get commander Stella's permission." Well… shit. Can't exactly touch her now that she is under Stella's wings. I hope that Nyui nyui isn't back to the store yet. I told her to get some rest. "Why do you give miss Shiranui a holiday anyway?"
"I was hoping that she might lower the prices of her items if she gets enough rest." Maybe the reason of her prices being high is because she is always grumpy and maybe what she needed is a rest to turn her mood and her prices 180 degrees.
"Hmm… let's hope her holiday work. I also would love it if the price of tea drops a little." Right?! Her prices are just too unreasonable. Hood finish off her wine in a single gulp and wipe her mouth elegantly. "Talking about science department, would you like to visit their HQ, commander?"
The science department HQ?! "Of course!" I would love to see the bullshits that Akashi have been doing all these times. I've only known about her bullcraps through reports so seeing it happening in first person should be a 'good' experience for me. "Where is it anyway?"
"Well… it used to be located on the Iron Blood island," Used to? "but after several… hijinks involving some explosion… it was relocated." That pause though… that suspicious pause before she explained why the science department HQ was relocated is enough to told how severe the bullshits were. "The Iron Blood's girls practically beg commander Stella for the HQ to be relocated." Yeah… I would too if I live right next to a constantly exploding lab.
"So which faction got the short end of the stick?"
"Eagle Union," Oof… "but they would only allow it under the condition that the HQ would be somewhere in the edge of town." Understandable, to minimize potential victims. I would also demand that if the government want to build an ever-exploding lab near my neighborhood. "I understand that experimenting is very important for the science department, but I would love it if they could minimalize the damage." Just build them a bunker and stuffed them in it.
"Ahahahaha… yeah…" If they managed to do that, my workload would shrink by a considerable amount. "…we could only hope…" The only thing that would do that is a miracle from God.
"Ufufufufu~~ It's truly depressing when you think about it." The lady gently places her glass away before coming toward me in a sultry manner. "I believe it's time for sleep, my love. Don't want to be sleepy tomorrow when we visited the science department now, do we?" I guess so. I need every single fiber of my being to be at their peak performances just in case I need to get out of dodge.
"Sure, let me finish this last piece."
XxX-XxX
"So why do you want to visit the science department, Igo?" An understandable concern, my dear girlfriend. "You know what kind of accidents that they have caused, right? Do you realize what kind of danger you're exposing yourself to?" I have read the reports Stella and don't you think you're overreacting? I mean, I got Hood with me.
"Fear not, my dear commander Stella. I shall accompany our dearest boyfriend." Our? Since when did I become your boyfriend, Hood? The last time I check, the only person that have the title of my girlfriend are Stella and Mia. "I promise you, no harm shall befall our love." The lady walks up to me, put her hand on my shoulder and pull me toward her.
"…Since when did we become co-girlfriend? I don't remember allowing you to be a part of our relationship." I don't remember Mia agreeing to have you be my girlfriend, Stella. "Don't do anything stupid or I'll make you the science department's Guinea pig." Is claiming your boyfriend as her own doesn't count as something stupid?
"Fufufufu~~ Don't worry, commander. Igo is in good hands. *Smooch*" Hood proclaim proudly before kissing me in the cheek. "Shall we get going, my love?" You're making it harder for Stella to give me permission, you know?
"Dido… I want you to be my eyes and ears." "YES, master Stella!" The paizuri maid straighten her body and give Stella a salute. Don't you think that's a little bit too much? I thought I already taught her a lesson so why is she forgetting about it? "If Igo ever threatened you to keep you shut, remember that my position is way higher than his." You don't need to rub it in, you know? Bitch…
"Before we go, is there anything you want me to get from the Eagle Union Island?"
"Just punish Akashi while you at it. That's probably the best gift you could ever get me." Got it! One more sex slave here I come!
XxX-XxX
"Welcome to the science department, Hero!" Hero? Who? Me? Is she talking about me? "But may I ask why are you here? I don't remember you making any appointment before." The woman with repulsor gauntlets salutes me. Her light purple eyes are sparkling with admiration and her lips curved into the happiest smile I've ever seen on someone's face. She is Reno, an Eagle Union light cruiser and a member of the science department.
"I'm just visiting out of whim, Reno." I signal her to lower her hand and calm down. Like I said earlier, this woman is wearing a pair of futuristic gauntlet that looks like it belongs to one of Marvel superhero. Sadly, she is only wearing the gauntlet and not the full armor. I would pay a gross amount of money to see her in full ironman armor, not gonna lie. "I want to know what you girls are doing around here."
"Ah! Of course! Let me give you a tour!" There are some girls that I wish I could suck their energy and make it my own, Reno is one of them. She is just so happy and energetic everytime we meet that my rustic self gets jealous from her vigor.
Reno then proceed to give the three of us a tour of the place and I have to say, Stella invest heavily in this department. The technological level of this place is way over my head and it's practically a living building from how automatic everything is. I see a lot of robots moving about in the hallway, or rather, all four us are walking amongst the robots as we are walking down the hallway. It wasn't the robots who are weird occurrences around here, we are.
"This room is an aquarium where we conduct experiment on living fishes and how they would react to wisdom cube." She explained to me before pushing a button in the middle of the walls. The next moment, the square panel in front of me retracted downward and show me what Reno was talking about. "As you see, most of these fishes come from the local environment and we're trying to assess how the wisdom cube would affect them." The sight beyond the glass window in front of me is almost similar to the sight that I see yesterday night when I was walking around with Hood.
"So did you find out anything, miss Reno?" Hood ask as she approaches the window.
"Hmm… for the most part, it appears that it is safe." 'It appears'? "We have conduct this experiment for approximately seven months and we haven't seen anything life threatening on our last checkup." But you did see something, right? It's not dangerous but something did happen to these fishes, right? "What we found was that the fishes' affinity for the wisdom cube increases." Wait what? "It's inline as to what have been generally accepted as common sense regarding the wisdom cube." So the longer someone hang around the wisdom cube, the higher their affinity is? Which mean that Stella should have the highest in the world.
And yet you're the only one that can access me.
Fuck off!
"I see…" Hood places his right hand on her chin and dive deep into her thought while Dido is scribbling something on her note. "If I may know, how much does it increase when compare to before the experiment was conducted?" I assume several percent if they have been doing this experiment for 7 months, right?
"Hmm… If my memory serves me right… it's approximately zero point zero zero seven percent." THAT FUCKING LOW?! It would take years if you want to increase it to even 1% higher than before! "There's another experiment to find out whatever the number of wisdom cube would make the affinity increase faster." Understandable… "Ah! It's time for another check-up." Huh?
As Reno speak up, I hear the sound of something mechanical moving before a small unmanned underwater vehicle in the shape of a submarine was lowered into the aquarium. At first, the UUV swims around in the aquarium as if it was an actual fish before it joins one of the schools of fishes. It then approaches one of the actual fishes before its front side opens up like a mouth and it suck the fish inside.
"Did that thing just eat a fish?" If I was one of the fishes among that school earlier, I would've thought that my friend had just got eaten by a fucking terminator.
"No~~ We just abduct them gently!" I don't know if that is gentle. Getting suck into a metal prison. The submarine then proceeds to surface before a robot hand grab it and take it somewhere. "Look up!" Up? I tilt my head upward and notice the little catwalk above me. How the fuck did I not notice any of that?! It's not just one catwalk, there's a ton of them above me and I didn't notice any of them! "There it is!" Reno point her finger toward one of the catwalk and out come the fish that had just been abducted on the catwalk moving somewhere. Don't worry, the fish was inside a tube full of water. I guess this system is fully automated from what I've seen so far. "How about we continue our tour?"
We then continue walking down the hallway into several other labs and so far, I haven't seen anything that's too dangerous. There are several dangerous experiment but all of them have excellent security measurement and detail standard of procedure. So why do I frequently get a lot of accident reports if everything was so safe like this? It must be… It must be because of her!
"So where's the cat?" I decide to cut to the chase and get straight into the problem. "I heard that she is causing some troubles again." By experimenting that is.
"Ah… Ahahahahaha…" I don't like that troubled laugh, Reno. "Well, she is currently conducting an experiment in one of the labs around here." Oh… so there's a chance for me to die, huh… Alright! I'm in my peak condition right now! So let's do it! "I can take you to her if you want to?"
"Sure!" I need to stop disaster before it happens. Just like they say, prevention is better than cure.
Reno then guide down the hallway before she suddenly stops. We only had just been walking for about 20 minutes. "This is the room that she is currently using." Reno places her hand on a specific space on the wall before she pushes it inward. It was actually a square button that blend extremely well with the wall. After Reno pushed it, a particular section of the wall retracts downward to reveal a door behind it. "Please be mindful. Something bad might happen if we break her concentration." Might? Doesn't it happen everytime?
"Commander, stay behind me." Hood walks in front of me and act as my shield as all 4 of us dwell deeper into the room. "Miss Dido, please be ready to grab the commander and run away." I understand your concern but don't you think that's a little bit too much? I have my fair share of explosions too, you know?
On the other side of the door was a huge room. It is filled with a lot of big equipment that you would expected a lab would have but since this place research about wisdom cube, most of these equipment feel alien to me. I better not touch anything around here or I might be the one that cause the disaster.
"Hmm… Ah! Reno-nya! Why are you here, nya?" The final boss has shown herself. The little green cat looks so much smaller when she is standing in the middle of this room. "AH! Commander IGO! What are nyou doing here?!" That panic… That mean she is doing something bad right now! I NEED TO STOP HER!
"What are you doing, you stupid cat?" I walk past Hood and forward toward the cat. "If I'm correct, I told you to take care of the store, no?" The cat starts to panicking as sweat pour down her forehead and her eyes moves around rapidly.
"I can explain nya!" Then explain it to me. I grab the cat by her armpits and lift her up so that our face would be on the same level. The cat's panic start to become more clearer when I stare at her face from such a close distance. "I was… curious nya…"
"…You know, I'm also curious about something." I brought the cat closer and closer to me until the tip of our noses touch. I can feel Akashi's nervousness from her face. "How it would feel to hug you until you break?" I then proceed to give the cat a bear hug complete with my entire strength behind it. "You stupid adorable cat!" "FFUUNNYYAAA~~~!" I rub my face all over her over-the-top adorable face at the speed of sound. "WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE!?" "UUNNNYYAA~~~!" I WANT TO SQUEEZE THE EVER LIVING FUCK OUT OF HER! WHY IS SHE SO CUTE?! I CAN'T BE MAD AT HER WHEN SHE IS THIS ADORABLE!
"Com-nya-nder~~! You're killing me~~~!" Good! I get to enjoy Akashi overly cute body while she gets punish at the same time. "Sssttoooppp~~! Nnnyyyaaaaaa~~!" NEVER! I get you know and there's nothing that can stop me now!
"Uhmm… excuse me." Huh? A tiny soft kind voice suddenly erupts from behind all of us which make everyone turn around. "Uh…! Ah…! I'm sorry to disturb you!" The voice was coming from a girl with long blue hair and a sad face. "I was informed that Reno is here and… there's something that I was needed for."
"AH! HELENA! I FORGOT!" Reno cry out in panic. "Ah! Please wait here with the other, Helena! I will be right back!" Without saying or explaining anything, Reno dash out of the room with the speed comparable to the small destroyer girls even when she herself isn't small at all.
"Huh…? Wait! Where are you going?" Helena was about to try to ask Reno but she couldn't stop the speeding ship. Don't even try to be a blockade, Helena. Reno is much more developed than you are so you will lose if a collision ever happened. "Uh… Uh… Uh… Uhm… good morning…" Her fidgeting and nervousness really remind me of Dido just without the abandonment issue.
Well someone has to do something unless you want the air to turned awkward and who that someone is, is me. "Come here Helena! Help me punish the stupid cat!" I told her as I shake the small cat in my hands.
"Ah! Of course!" From her earlier words you could easily conclude that this girl is a shy one and just like most, couldn't say 'no' as an answer. It's good for me though because this type is the most entertaining to corrupt.
"Here, hold her tight! I'm going to tickle this tiny demon." I hand over the green cat over to Helena when she is near me.
"No wait nya! Please let me explain what I was doing nya!" The cat moves her limbs wildly in protest when Helena was about to catch her. Goddamn this stupid cat! Stop moving around!
"Ufufufufu~~ Don't you think it's wiser if we let miss Akashi explain herself, commander?" Shut up Hood! Which side are you on?! Don't tell me that you're jealous that I treat Akashi better than I treat you. "It could be interesting." I thought you don't want me to die, Hood?!
"She's right nya!" Akashi keeps moving wildly and she eventually escape from my grips. Shit! Curse this little cat! "Watch over here nya!" The cat jumps around joyously as she pulls on my hand. Where are we going? "See this commander!" The cat girl hands me a tablet.
Hmm…? What's this? I focus my attention toward the tablet and read through the content of it. "Uhh… Hmm…" Interesting… I have no idea what I'm reading about… "Care to explain, Akashi?" Honestly, the data that Akashi had just given to me is probably important and all that but I don't know how to digest it all. Can Akashi cook it for me?
"Sure nya!" This cat is weirdly happy which makes a part of me happy from how cute she is but also concern from all the reports I have read where she is a part of it. "You see nya, I was blablablablablablablabla!" And the cat keeps on meowing without me understanding a single thing that she is saying. I guess I'm just going to wait for the actual report of the experiment. "We have try a lot of thing to this wisdom cube nya and it seems that we're finally getting some respond nya!" The cat hops around again toward the wisdom cube in the middle of the room.
"Helena, stand behind me. Things might finally get out of control." I grab Helena's body and hide it behind me as we approach closer to Akashi and the wisdom cube.
"She is way more durable than you're, commander Igo." Fuck off, grandma!
"Come here nya!" I am! I am! Stop being cute will ya? I'll get diabetes! "Look at this wisdom cube nya!" Akashi proudly showcase to me the wisdom cube behind her as if I know a single shit that is going on around here. The only thing that I can focus on is her cute adorable self. I WANT TO BRING HER TO BED AND CUDDLE WITH HER ALL NIGHT LONG! FFUUUCCCKKK! "COM-NYA-NDER! Are you listening nya?!"
"Ah… yeah…" I'm listening but I don't understand. I walk forward toward the cat and pat her in her head. "I'll wait for your actual report, okay?"
"Nyyyaa~~! Of course nya! Can you help me grab the wisdom cube nya?" Sure! Anything for the adorable little green cat. I grab the wisdom cube off the table and bring it closer to me. "Mhm~~! Let's store it in a safer place, nya!" She is so cute! WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE!? WWWHHHHYYY!? "EH!? What's going on with the wisdom cube nya?!"
"Eh?" I guess I was too absorbed in fanboying over Akashi that I didn't notice the wisdom cube in my hand start glowing brighter and brighter. "SHIT!" What now?! FUCK! Don't tell me that it will explode! I need to calm it down! "GUH!" Cubey! HELP ME! I pour all of my strength onto my palm and try to get the wisdom cube under control using the training I've had. "Ugh!" The wisdom cube glows brighter and brighter until the entire room was enveloped by it radiance until… *POP* "Eh?" It vanishes into thin air.
"What happened nya?!" I also want to ask the same question. What the fuck just happened?! CUBEY! ANSWER ME!
Beat me.
I WILL BEAT YOU!
"Uh… Commander…" Helena? Did something happen to you? I turn around to see the angel behind me with both of her hands in her stomach. "… I feel… warm…" Huh? Why are you telling me this? I mean, thanks for the information… I guess… For me it's cold though. Is she saying that she has a fever?
"You're not feeling well?" I move closer to her and Helena immediately lean her body toward me. Shit! Her body is hot! "Hood! Help me!"
"Yes, commander?" Hood approach us with Dido in tow. "Is something wrong?"
"Helena's body is hot." Wait! Please don't take that out of context! "I'm afraid that this might have something to do with the vanishing wisdom cube." Since Cubey is being a complete deadweight, I have to assume the worst.
But I'm not that heavy though… I don't even have any weight…
YES, YOU ARE! FUCK OFF!
"THE CUBE VANISH NYA!" Shut up, you stupid cat! Stop nitpicking the obvious! "What did you do nya?!" HEY, Deadweight! You might want to answer her! What the fuck did you do?!
"Touch it! How would I know that touching it," And maybe several other things, "would cause it to explode into light like that?!" I should think thrice before making any moves toward a wisdom cube considering weird shits tend to happen whenever I'm near one. "Maybe it was your experiment that cause it." That could actually be the case, right? Let's not be closeminded and blame everything on me now. "How about you found out what really happened, Akashi? Isn't that the science department's job?"
"I don't know nya! This is the first time it happened!"
"And that's why you have to found out about it." My ability to help is significantly depends on Cubey. In short word, highly unstable and untrustworthy.
But I never lied to you though.
"Good luck, Akashi." Now I need to deal with Helena. "Helena, how are you doing?" I gently put my hand on her forehead and check on her temperature. Hmm… her fever has considerably lower which is weird. She was smoking hot just a couple of second ago and now she is just slightly warmer than normal human temperature. The fuck is going on? "Hmm… Helena, are you okay?"
"Ah! AH! YES!" Helena push herself away from me. "I'm sorry! I was just… Uh…" I was just…? I was just what, Helena? Helena looks troubled before she stops and just stares at my face, lovingly. Oookkkaayy…? She is definitely not right in her head. I mean, I love being stared so lovingly like this but not out of nowhere. "Commander…"
"Miss Helena, are you okay?" Hood comes in, grabs Helena's body and put some distance between her and me. I guess we both notice that something is wrong with Helena after that explosion of light. "Perhaps we need to get you to the infirmary?" Good idea, Hood. "Miss Dido, would you please guide miss Helena to the infirmary? I believe she is not in the right condition to be left alone."
"Ah! Yes!" Dido works fast and the next thing I know was that both Helena and Dido was out of the room.
"Now that have been taken care of, would you like to explain what you have done, miss Akashi?" Calm down, Hood. All of us are curious but I doubt any of us has an answer for it. "Or commander Stella will hear about this." Okay! Okay! Okay! Let's all calm down! There's no need to bring out the big gun!
"I DON'T KNOW NYA!" The cat wails and fling her arms around wildly. "How am I supposed to know that this will happen nya!? I've been touching that wisdom cube all the time and this is the first time it happened nya!" Fuck… which mean that this is my fault. "For all I know nya, it could be commander Igo's fault nya!"
"Hmm… could it be because commander Igo is a human?" YEAH! It definitely because of that! I bet if Stella touch that wisdom cube, it would also explode. Yeah…
That is some high grade copium that you're sniffing there. Will you care to share?
SUCK MY DICK!
"We don't know nya! We need to tell commander Stella about this nya!" You want me to get publicly executed, you stupid cat! Stella would question me non-stop if she ever found out about it.
"Hmm… that maybe so. Don't worry about it, miss Akashi. I shall be the one that inform her about this." Maybe I could convince Hood not to tell, Stella…? How would I even do that? Use my position to force her to shut her mouth? "Well then, I supposed we excuse ourselves, miss Akashi. We shall be returning back." I need to tell her NOW!
"Alright then, goodbye nya!" The adorable green kitten waves her hand at us as me and Hood walk out and eventually, away from the room.
We're alone now which mean that this is my chance to convince Hood! "Hood." I grab Hood's hand and stop her in her track. I stare right into her eyes to indicate that I'm being serious. "About what happened just now, I will be the one that tell Stella about it."
"Commander…" Now… WHAT THE FUCK AM I GOING TO DO IF SHE ASK 'WHY'?! I now have her attention and my intention is getting through her but I don't know how to explain it! FUCK! Would she just accept 'Because I want to'?! OF COURSE SHE WON'T! FUCK! Come on! Come on! THINK! THINK! "Alright, I understand." WAIT WHAT!? I mean, THANK FUCK!
"Thank you… for many things, Hood…"
"Hmm?"
XxX-XxX
"Thanks for checking on the science department, Igo." Stellla thanks me as I had just relay to her all the thing that I saw when I was in the science department HQ. Well, of course everything except for the vanishing cube that is. "Hood didn't try to do anything funny, did she?"
"Oh my~~ Do you not have a single trust in me, commander Stella?"
"No." Damn! Straight shot without hesitation whatsoever! "That lady facade of yours have crack a long time ago." And so is your trust on her, huh…
"Fufufufu~~ Can't say that I'm not hurt, commander Stella." Yes, you can. Just say it. "Well, I believe the Admiral of the Navy would need some alone time with her boyfriend to sort some things out."
"Hmm?" Stella's eyebrows raise up and she throws a glance at me before returning her sight to the lady. "Is there?"
"I believe you should ask him yourself, my dear." Can't we delay this any further? Please… "Come now, miss Dido and miss Gloucester. We have to give this pair of lovebirds some private time." Don't make it like I'm going to do something romantic with Stella!
"AH! Yes!" Dido obediently leave the room while Gloucester was hesitant and confuse but still walk out of the room nonetheless. Hood then follow behind both of those maids which mean that Stella and I are the only one left in her office.
"So… We're kissing or what?" God damn you fucking HOOD! You're giving Stella the wrong signal, you piece of shit! "Or does this has anything to do with your visit to the science department?" Fuck! She has good intuition!
"How about… both?"
"Fufufu~~ Alright then~~" Stella seductively stands up from her seat and walk over toward me. God damn do I have a very hot girlfriend! I thought she was about to sit on my lap but I guess it's role reversal time as Stella sit down on the sofa. "Come now, my lap is free." She confidently pats her own lap and invite me over.
"Sigh… It's supposed to be the man who is vulgar, you know? Not the woman." Even though I complained, I still stand up and plant my ass firmly on her lap with my body facing toward her. "Don't you think our role switch, darling?" Stella circles her arms around my body and pull me closer.
"Are you saying that you're pure?" I'm not saying that! "Even after all the adulterous cheating you have done behind your girlfriend's back," I have a sense that she is talking about Mia here. "you still view yourself as pure?" I view myself as the opposite of pure. Stella smiles smugly as she pulls my head closer and press her lips against mine. This virgin really like to test my patience, huh? "I should break up with you and change your rank to toy." So you want to see me getting absolutely fucked out of my mind by the girls? I guess she is into cuckolding.
"Do that and I'll make sure that you'll belly will always be filled with my children." I lovingly snuggle my face onto hers and we then proceed to do diabetes inducing action.
"Stop acting so cute, you stupid slut~~" Then stop acting so lovely, you abusive asshole. "By the way, what was Hood talking about? She said that there is something that you want to talk about regarding your visit." Fuck… why does she have to remember about that!?
"Ah… it's nothing… do you remember what happened when I touch a wisdom cube?" Stella immediately understand my lead. "Well, a wisdom cube somehow vanished after I touch it." And then she immediately lost that lead. Her confused face is so cute though… "If you ask me why, it's probably has something to do with what the cat has been doing to that particular wisdom cube."
"Did the cat do something to it?" I nod my head as an affirmation. "Ah… I should've expect something weird would happen when I put two wild cards at the same room." True, I guess. "Did you tell the cat to find out what happened?" I nod again. "Good… Sigh… you're supposed to be making things easier for me, you know?"
"And did I make some things hard for you darling?" I seductively close the distance of our face while I press both of my index fingers on her nipples. "Ahaha~~ I guess these are hard, huh?"
"You stupid seductive slut~ Let's play~~"
XxX-XxX
Naïve: Alright, does anyone has any information they would like to pass to the head of UN?
Flash: My salary is lacking.
Naïve: Good, eat that. Anyone else?
Four Eyes: Can he gives me some leeway on accessing information?
Four Eyes: I would love to know more about the vanishing Arsenal bird.
Flash: Ah shit, that thing is still missing?
Flash: The hell are those surveillance bodies doing? Partying?
Flash: Where's that pilot anyway? Emo
Naïve: He's probably busy.
Naïve: Why aren't you?
The Best: Because he's a fucking deadweight.
Flash: It seem that you don't own a mirror.
The Best: I'm not a deadweight.
The Best: Watch.
The Best: Four Eyes What your speculation about the Arsenal Bird?
Naïve: Really?
The Best: YEP!
The Best: I'm searching for more information!
Flash: Yeah, he's right. We're researching for more information!
Flash: Four Eyes Spill everything!
Four Eyes: There's no bigger regret in my life than knowing any of you.
Four Eyes: Truth be told, everyone is still brainstorming about it but we still haven't found any good one.
Flash: Seriously?
Flash: Maybe we could just chalk it up to the usual portal bullshit.
The Best: That would just make thing turn from 5 to 100.
Four Eyes: Igo is right. That basically saying that we're 100% fucked.
Four Eyes: Showing to us that they can teleport something so huge and powerful anywhere and anytime is indirectly saying, 'You guys are fucked!'.
Naïve: I mean, aren't we all from the start?
Four Eyes: Not exactly.
Four Eyes: Based on what we known, their portals are confined on the sea. There's a reason why we have bigger chance of winning when we're fighting inland.
Naïve: I see…
Four Eyes: If any of you have any idea that you want me to pass on to the investigation team, I'll give you the time.
Any idea? Hmm… Honestly, my knowledge about camouflage technology is very minimum other than what I have been using on the field that my head is just filled with emptiness when Four Eyes asked me about it. I push myself away from my laptop for a moment and stare at the ceiling. I was hoping that I could shake my brain enough for it to start functioning but it was useless. Nothing comes to mind.
"Is there something wrong, honey?" Ah… the elegant blonde calls out to me, probably because she is worry about me. I turn around and see this angel reading a book clad in pure, almost see through, white fabric sitting on my bed. The glass on her face add more point to her cuteness. "You seem to be troubled."
"Sigh… It's just I got a news that the Eagle Union would start pushing south soon." I'm not ready to give Hood the truth about the Arsenal Bird's disappearance. Since Stella hasn't told her anything about it, so do I. It could also be the fact that the higher up hasn't told Stella about it but if the higher up hasn't tell her, do I have the right to do that? There might be a reason as to why they didn't tell her about it and me telling her would just make thing complicated. "I'm just trying to get a specific date but alas, nothing has come up."
"I see…" The angel looks at me compassionately. "You really are a kind man, aren't you? The God have really blessed Azur Lane." I will shove my dick up your mouth if you don't stop talking like that. "A man who have been through many trials and tribulations and yet still show compassion and kindness to others." Alright, dick time it is! "I believe it is good to worry about others but you shouldn't put too much thought toward something that you have very little control over, my love."
"I'm just trying to find out." There's nothing wrong with seeking more information, no? "Talking about something under my control," Hood's eyebrows slowly raise up as she notices me eyeing her body. "You're one of those things, Ma' Lady."
"I guess nothing is truly perfect." The angel closes her book and place it somewhere safe alongside her glasses. "So, what shall we do, darling~~?"
"Hmm… what shall we do…?" My eyes wander around the room to try to come up with something to do. What shall we do? What shall we do? What shall we do? Hmm… As my eyes travel in random direction, it accidently landed on my phone. "Hey Hood, have I ever taken a naked photo of you?"
"Hmm… Not that I know of." I see, so that means no. "Shall I undress myself, darling?"
"Nope!" I pick my phone up and walk toward the lady. "I want to have a series of photos of you where you slowly but surely get naked over times."
"Sure. Anything for you, honey." This lady should never say that magic words to a perverted asshole like me. Who knows what my future self might make her do. "What shall I do then, darling?"
"Pose in the most elegance way possible and I'll take several pictures of you." The lady nods her head and start posing around. I should let her do her things and wait for her signal. Meanwhile, I should check my phone's camera. I bring my phone up on my eyes level and look at it. I can see myself in the reflection and I'm pretty happy when I see that the left side of my body has fully healed from the burn marks. I turn on the screen and press the camera app. The screen then shows me what on the other side of the phone that was covered by the phone itself.

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! DID I JUST!? HOLY SHIT!
I immediately turn around and pull myself toward my laptop.
The Best: Four Eyes I have something for you to check!
Four Eyes: Yeah? What is it?
The Best: First of all, bring your phone up to your eyes level.
Four Eyes: Eh? Why?
Four Eyes: Sure, I guess.
The Best: Then press on your camera app.
Flash: What are you on about?
The Best: Just do it!
The Best: Four Eyes Did you get it yet?
Four Eyes: I see where you're going at.
Four Eyes: But there would still need for more testing for your theory to be consider as answer.
The Best: Fair.
The Best: But at least, I give you some suggestion.
Naïve: I still don't get it.
Four Eyes: You can see through your phone if you use your camera app.
Four Eyes: The Best are basically saying that the Arsenal bird have big screens on its top side and cameras on the bottom.
Four Eyes: Basically it's showing the satellites what under it.
Four Eyes: Giving us the illusion that there's nothing there.
Flash: Won't we be seeing its shadow?
Four Eyes: I was about to say that but you can just use the flash function and the shadow will disappear.
Four Eyes: And you can also have an AI that process the video to deal with the shade.
Four Eyes: Basically, there's several ways to deal with shadows that even us human can do it easily.
The Best: Cool.
The Best: Don't forget to update us if you have new information.
"I'm ready, darling~~"
The Best: Alright guys, sayonara!
The Best: Gotta eat something before going to bed.
XxX-XxX
"Mmhh…" Fuck… it's so hot… I wake up in the middle of the night with my body feeling like I was in the deepest part of hell. It's unbelievably hot! Why am I so hot?! The weirdest part is that I'm not sweating at all! Even when I feel the black fire inside my stomach! "Ah…" I pull myself out of Hood's arms and sit up. The AC is on so why am I feeling so hot? Maybe I will feel better if I go outside.
"…Hmm…" Thankfully, I didn't wake Hood up as she peacefully sleeps away as I carefully walk toward the door.
I place my hand on the door handle and cautiously pull it down. "Ah…" On the other side was a girl with blue hair that I met earlier in the science department, Helena. "Commander…" She is… She is… so beautiful… enticing… "… Commander…"

I want her.
And this is the day where I would put a ring on its finger.
"My~ My~ It seem that I marry an actress~~ Was it hard to play innocent, honey?"
"Please let me be your baby!"
"Now go and explore the world. You will always know where to look for me."
It's… nostalgic.
