"Ow my back!" I groan in pain as I sit down on my seat. My back hurt like hell! Why? You see, there were considerable number of shipgirls who have small bodies and some even act like a child,-no a kindergartener to be precise and they want me to lift them up and as a good commander that I am, of course I did lift them up. It was cute but it did strain my back. A lot. "I might need to retire early in this case."

"Told you." Stella snicker behind her mask of compassion. What? Do you think I am stupid enough to be fooled by your fakeness? "If you spoil even just one of them, the others would also want to be pamper as well. The next thing you know, you'll be lifting twenty people or more." Just say it if you're jealous woman. You want to be pamper by me as well, don't you?

"Can I interest you to some coffee, masters?" Belfast come into the room while pushing a trolley that have two teapots, a box of sugar cubes and several ceramic cups on it. I assume one of the teapot was filled with coffee whilst the other with tea.

"I guess I am a bit sleepy so I'll take one cup with two sugar cubes." Belfast nodded and gives me a cup of coffee. I take a little sip and, as expected of Belfast, it tastes good. "Thank you, Belfast." Belfast bops her head with a pleased smile. "Now if only your other commander could actually be as helpful as you are." This statement cause Stella to raise one of her eyebrow and smirks. "What? The only thing you did when the children want to be lifted was laugh at me instead of calming them down, like what Belfast did."

"At least we know that you are a lolicon." Stella, I'm this close to throw you out the window right now. "You should be grateful that I, Stella, allow you to be close to what you love."

"Belfast, do you carry a bat or something, preferably something that would deal maximum amount of damage to her head?"

"Heh…." Stella mockingly scoffs at me. How dare she? "How about I take you on that private tour I mentioned earlier? I can also explain your work at the same time."

"Sure, let me finish this cup first." A tour huh? Just the two of us…..time for my revenge then. She is making this too easy for me, it almost looks like she was aiming for this. Hmmmmm…..Well if she did, I am just going to give it to her and if she doesn't…then I am just going to have my way with her, but wouldn't it be more fun to make her work for it? Yes, I could ask Belfast to come with us so Stella could work hard to make Belfast go away. "By the way Belfast, do you want to join us? I am afraid that Stella will only laugh at me instead of helping me when I am in trouble just like earlier."

"Hmmmm….." Stella grumpy hum could be heard vibrating through the room. Her eyes then darted and firmly stare at Belfast, almost as if threatening her.

"I would love to but it seems that commander Stella would send me to be scrapped if I say 'Yes'. So with heavy heart, I have to say 'no'."

"Awww, that's sad. It's okay Belfast, I'll protect you from that beast over there."

"Igo…" Scary! Scary! That deep tone is hella scary coming from her. "You will take the tour with me alone." YES! YES! I will! Calm down now! You're scaring me!

"Yes, of course! Sorry Belfast, but maybe next time." At this point I am basically screaming at Belfast just so Stella can hear me clearly. Don't want her to get the wrong answer right? "Let's go Stella! The sooner we go, the more time got for ourselves."

"Yes, you're right. Well then Belfast, good bye." Both of me and Stella stand up from our seat and walk out of the room, leaving the holding-a-giggle Belfast alone in the room. "I guess you know about the office and what it's function is, so I don't need to explain that to you. Let's start with the room right next to the office." We walk to the right side of the building. If you're looking at the office building from the fountain outside then the office is the second room on the right side of the stair on the first floor. We are now walking to farthest right of the building. "This is where we keep the administration record. You maybe asking to yourself, why do we need a whole room for that? The thing is, Azur Lane has a lot of members or to be more specific shipgirls and they are basically human that need food, drink, entertainment and more importantly, what separate them from us, ships equipment."

Stella opens the door and pull me in. The first thing I see is rows after rows of brown bookshelves, tables with multiple drawers, some normal tables and chairs. On the bookshelves were hundreds or even thousands of neatly arranged books and papers. I pick one of the books and open it. It just a string of numbers and words, scatters across the paper. Some even doesn't make sense to me but a couple of thing irritate me. Why is there no evidence of Azur Lane buying rockets? SAM? SSM? Anything? "Stella, did Azur Lane ever buy any rockets?"

"Sadly no. Most shipgirl's rigging isn't modern enough to carry rockets."

"Riggings? What's a rigging?"

"The things on their back, with multiple steel arms, turrets, runway and such." Ah, I know! She shows me the picture of the girls when we are on the ship and I recall that each girls have this massive hunk of steel on their back. I guess that is what she calls a 'Riggings'. "I don't exactly know how to add more riggings to a girl and I am afraid if I do something stupid, it'll damage the girl instead of helping them."

"We don't know much about them, do we?"

"Yeah, they are still a puzzle to even me, their Fleet Admiral." Guess they need to add 'Finding the truth about the shipgirls' on our job list. I wonder if its only their riggings that are different from us, how is their psychologically wire in their brains? I mean, as much as I want to believe they are the same with us in the minds, I wonder if their riggings reach up to their brain and alter a few things? I guess the best way to find out is to interact with them. "Just treat them like how you would treat a normal human. Let's go Igo. There's nothing more you could see here."

"Okay." I put the book back in it place and follow Stella to the next destination. Our next destination is on the left side of the office, the room that is just right next to the stairway. I was expecting Stella to open the door so it took me by surprise when she didn't. "Why didn't you open it?"

"I am going to let you open this one. This is your office after all."

"Really?" She nodded with a smile. I put my hand on the doorknob while hearing the loud beating heart in my chest from the anticipation. How is the room going to look like? Did Stella personally decorate the room? With our history, she should know a thing or two about me but since it had been 7 years since we last talk, I am afraid there is some aspect of the furniture that would bring out my dark past or whatever kind of past I got. I slowly turn the knob and open the door like I was trying to open the front door to sneak out in the middle of the night.

"Just open it." Stella, being an ass that she is, kick the door open so hard that it bounces back after hitting the wall. I give her a grunting stare and she just shrugs at me, like she didn't know what I was talking about.

The room inside is similar to Stella's office. Same chairs, same sofa, same table and bookshelf, even if it's currently empty. The differences that I could see are that my Air Conditioners weren't the standing type, it was the one where you mounted on the walls. The windows on the back walls were replace by two giant window doors. She increases the amount of sofas and decrease the bookshelves. There is a considerable upgrade on the numbers of electrical outlets. She probably expecting me to work with the computer and stuff since I hardly see it in her office other than her laptop and some things.

"I'll let you handle the modernization of Azur Lane. Not the girl's riggings, more of the base's technology and such." Guess I was right. "You can start ordering the parts and equipment that you need later on, the UN will pay for it. I am not brave enough to mess around state-of-the-art computers and such." I get what she means. Those stuffs are so expensive and she definitely below me in that area of expertise, but then again, the government is the one who'll pay for it, so shopping spree it is!

"Nice! And is the wall soundproof?"

"It is." Noice. If I am going to work with electronics, I'll probably need soldering irons, some screwdrivers and- "…..I will barge in once in a while and if I see you jerking off instead of working, I'll crush your dick myself." Calm down will you! It's not like I'll be watching porn without using a headphone. That's just crazy.

"Come on! I am just want to work in peace. Electrical things are sensitive beings." Beings? Did I just- Fuck it! Electronics will be considered as living things from now on.

"Sure. I'll be watching you."

I close the door since there is nothing more for us to do here. Both of us walk to the other side of the stairs. There is only one double-door in this side of the stairs but it still has the same size as the right side. Is this a storage room or something? Why is it so big?

"This is the meeting room. As you guess it, it's bigger than the last three rooms." Stella said to me before opening the double door. Inside was a very spacious room with white-ceramic floor, brown wallpapers and white LEDs on the ceiling. There is a wide table in the middle of the room where a large map covered the entire top of the table. Multiple chairs were neatly stack on one corner of the room. There was also a stairway in another corner, that stairs look like it leads to the room above this one. "The room is a bit empty at the moment, but trust me, it will be pack when we are holding a meeting later on."

"What's that stairs there for?"

"The room upstairs is just like this one, the space I mean. We use it to store past expedition records, various intelligences, equipment lists and all the papers and documents related to works, except for administration and a little kitchen that the maids usually use to boil water and make snacks." Ugh, I don't want to see another rows of bookshelves with thousands of books and papers. The kitchen part is…maybe not. Probably the same like other kitchen. "Guess we don't need to see that room since I already told you what it is and you look kind of bored."

"Yes, I kinda am. Thank you for noticing." Stella snickers proudly. Oh wow, you could read my expression, how amazing….. that was sarcasm by the way.

Both of us exit the room and walk up to the second floor. We immediately turn to the right and Stella opens up the first room. It's a cozy bedroom with one big bed on the right side of the room, a wall-mounted AC and a window on the back wall, a big drawer for clothes and a bookshelf on the left side of the room, a wooden table with some drawers and a wooden chair with a brown cushion right next to the back wall.

"This will be your room Igo, right above your office." Wait? This is mine? Really? Wait don't tell me. Did she pick this room because it was next to hers? Is her bedroom next to me, is the question here. Probably.

"Then where is your room?"

"Oh I have another house in this island." Nevermind, I am just getting ahead of myself. "Here is a duplicate key of my house and your own room." Stella reach out her hand and hand me two keys. Why is she giving me key to her house? "I have another key to your room so it's only fair for you to have mine." How about we hand each other our own keys instead? So I am the only one who hold the key to my room while you're the only old to hold the key to your house. "Be careful now, I might invade suddenly." Yeah, give me my key. I want to be the only one who is holding it.

"Two can play that game now." I said to her and she only reply with a taunting smile. Okay, time for my revenge, she is begging for it. Right now I need to get her inside the room. "By the way what kind of books did you put here?" I said to her, trying to tilt her focus in the room while consciously push her inside. "I hope it's not some sort of stupid books or something."

"Of course not." Stella approaches the bookshelf and pull one of the book out. "All of this will teach you how to be a proper admiral because Bla…Bla…Bla…Bla…" Her words were muted in my head as I focus on one thing, trying to get back to her. I silently close the door and lock it behind me. "I know you're not really experience so I bought you these books." I pick up blanket on the bed, wrap it around itself to make a rope and slowly move behind Stella. I move my left arm around her neck and push her face to look right. "Igo, what-!" Before she could ask me, I crash my lips to hers.

At first I could sense her surprise but not long after that she gladly accepts my kiss and push her face towards mine. I release my hand from her chin and use it to smack the book of her hand. The book makes a loud thud sound but none of us pay it any heed as we try to swallow each other mouth. I pull her left arm back gently to not alert her. I pretend to guide her left hand to my bulging pants, in which she gladly strokes it. I use the same tactic with her right hand and it works wonderfully.

I let this moment play out for a minute as to not raise her eyebrow. I don't want her to know that I was planning something and I am also waiting for the right moment where both of her hands are close with each other. Her hands move from the base of my dick and slowly but surely raise up while giving it a delightful massage. When her hands reach the top, Stella's left hand cups the dome while her right hand tickles the hole. Saying that I derive pleasure from these actions is an understatement as I could feel my pre-cum staining my boxer, but thankfully, this is the perfect moment. I quickly seize her hands and use both of my hands to tie it up together.

"Igo, what are you doing?" I kiss her neck and take a sniff of it. Smells nice, can't wait to smell it again after I taint it with sweat. I move my left forearm behind her knees and lift her up bridal style. I carry her toward the bed and place her face up on the bed. "Wait Igo!"

"Wait for what? Do you have some sexy lingerie that you would like to put on before we do this?" I was already unbuckling her belt when I said that. I zip down her pants and pull it down, revealing a wet bright yellow panty. "Oh, looks who has been looking forward to these?" I tease her as my fingers pinch Stella's clitoris. A cute little groan escapes her mouth, almost as if she was trying to hide it. "Aw how adorable. Did I arouse you, Stella?"

"Shut up…you ass." Hohohoho, the little bitch. What is she trying to deny here? Her wet panty and groan of pleasure is clearer the longer I play with her.

"Are you a virgin?" I ask her after slipping down her panty. Her wet, clean shaved, pink pussy was in front of me. Stella slowly nods after throwing her face to the side. "Want me to take it?"

"SHUT UP!" She screams in embarrassment and turn her body around, I almost mistook her action as she showing me her plump ass cheeks. I slap her cheeks multiple times before squeezing them. "Aaaahh! Don't squeeze them to hard will ya?" I snicker at her retort and slap her ass again. "Just take it! Just take my virginity and be done with it!" Hey Stella, you are a waterfall down there. You're really looking forward to this huh? Should I give it to her? Nah… There is another hole anyway.

"You want me to take it so bad that you're literally flowing more water than the Niagara Falls."

"JUST FUCK ME ALREADY! STOP EMBARASSING ME!"

"Calm down, Stella." *SLAP* "You know, I am doing this as a revenge and since you want me to fuck you in the pussy…"

"Noooo….Igooooo….."

"I am going to fuck you in the ass instead." I said to her with a devilish tone. I unbuckle my belt, unzip my pants and unleash my snake. "Sorry Stella, but I don't have a lube for this, so it may hurt a little."

"Wait, how do you know it's going to hurt?"

Should I tell her I have done this with Mia? I probably shouldn't since it would dampen the mood. "You never watch porn? Or do you think they insert it raw?" Her face grows red from embarrassment again and she buries her face deep in my bed. "Oh wait, we have something that would give my dick a lube?" Stella peek her head in confusion and I could only giggle at her pureness.

I forcefully turn her body around and move my body forward. I push the tip of my girth in front of her lips, not too strong that it would bust through her mouth. I could her a loud gulp coming from Stella before she nervously opens her lips and let my dick in. I immediately get that warm and wet sensation on my manhood just like I have been before with other women but the difference is that Stella isn't experienced enough to continue.

"You really are pure huh? As a good boyfriend, I'll handle it from here." She obediently nods and when I put my hand on the back of her head, I could feel how easy it is to move her head. "I am going easy now, okay?" Her head nodded. Should I do it easily or…..HARD. Without warning, I thrust my dick deep inside of her mouth. A wet gurgling sound was soon followed by the sound of her choking as the dome of my dick covers her air tunnel. I let my dick tenderize inside her as I hear the sound of her legs kicking wildly behind me. "Calm down Stella, I am training you. Look there is some length left for you." Stella wasn't even hearing because the sound of her choking and kicking is so loud, that it damps down all the other sound. I could feel her trying to pry her head away but it's useless when she can only use her neck's muscle while I can use two biceps.

Soon, I could hear her kick slowing down and her face getting pale so I decide to pull my dick out of her just before she ran out of air. Stella immediate reaction after being freed was gasping for air and panting.

"You need to prepare yourself more as I still got some rod to spare." I said to her mockingly.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? THAT WAS—" Before Stella could continue her angry rant, I push my penis inside her mouth again. Of course she wouldn't take it lightly, I see her eyes glaring at me. I think she doesn't understand who is in charge here. I let my dick warm up in her mouth again just not too deep this time.

"Okay, I am going to start now." I slowly move her head, which is very heavy, and my waist forward and back. I need to earn her trust again if I want to fuck her face. I make sure to let her breath once in a while, can't earn her trust if she thinks I want to suffocate her. "See. I am for real this time. So calm your neck so it's easier to move your head." She still gives me an intense glare but I can feel her head getting lighter but not light enough. I need to make her trust me more. "I am going to rest my dick inside of your mouth now, so use this chance to train your tongue."

She nods and, since I am a man of my word, I cease my movement. Stella tongue start to…uhm, maneuver? Is that the right word here? What I am trying to say is, her tongue works is sloppy and amateurish. Her tongue moves everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The one thing she manage to accomplish is wetting the rest of pelvic area including my balls, which wow what a tongue. I let out a small moan when her tongue licks the right place, I could see her genuine happiness when I do that.

"I am going to move again. Just focus on your tongue and let me move your head." She nods again and once again, her neck's muscles relax which gives me full authority of her head. I can fuck her mouth now if I want to but I am just going to let her have her moments. I move her head and my waist once again. "Good, keep on perfecting your technique. If you sense my dick throbbing or twitching that means you're doing it right." Stella nods her head like an eager child, an eager child who is giving me a blowjob. I let out multiple groans as Stella's become more and more experienced in this.

Which mean I could use her now. I grip her head tightly and shove my dick as deep as I can, no spare rod this time. Stella was taken by surprise as she starts letting out a choking sound. She probably thinks that this is the same like earlier but nope, I'm going to start moving now. I forcefully move her head and my waist back and move them forward together until my dome hit her throat. I start fucking her mouth with a slow pace and I gradually increase my speed. Her chocking sound was soon accompanied by a rapid gurgling noise as her saliva start piling up in her mouth.

"Ah! Yes Stella! Your mouth is so good!" I scream in pleasure even though I could feel the bed shaking from her kicks behind me. I also could feel her trying to free her head but my grip prevents her. "I told you to let me do it, didn't I? Then what is this resistance I am feeling? A naughty girl need to be punished." My movement start to get even faster and faster. The sound of her wet gurgling was deafened by the sound of her legs kicking wildly. "Stella! I am going to cum!" I slam her head to the bed with my dick and start face fucking her mating press style.

"! GURLG!" Stella sound of desperation could be heard when her saliva start leaking out from the corner of her lips. Her kicks were also getting desperate as she tries to kick me multiple times but legs couldn't reach me at all. I could feel her nose touching my bush every time I stab her.

"DRINK THIS YOU BITCH!" I seal her mouth with my dick and unleash my semen. I let out a long groan, the same length as it takes to let out my sperm. "Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! That's the spot!" I slowly pull out my sword from the stone. It was dripping saliva all over Stella's face when it first surface. "Swallow it, okay?"

"HHHMMMM!" Stella angrily stares at me but nevertheless, do what I say. She slowly swallows her saliva-cum cocktail with multiple gulps before asking. "How could you do that to me?"

"Look at the bright side, my dick is lubed with your natural lube." Sher glares was still as angry as ever. She probably wouldn't turn around if this is the case. I look back and see a huge wet spot on my bed where her vagina is laying. "Look you came right? So you did enjoy it right?"

"There are other ways to make me came!" She angrily shouts at me.

"Aw….. come on, honey."

"Ok! Now you're calling me honey! After you almost choke me to death!" She humph and throw her face away. "Bet you're always doing this kind of thing with Mia."

"Aw, is my little honey darling jealous?" I pinch her pouting cheek. "You are going to change your mind after this. Come on, turn your body around." I lightly slap her chest while trying to turn her around but she wasn't cooperating. "Stop being stubborn!" A loud humph reverbs from her mouth again as she fights back as hard as she can. "Sigh…. How long are you going to be this stubborn?"

"Hmph!"

Good grief….. She's not going to move anytime soon. Well, I still got her boobs to play with. "Fine! If you don't want to do it then I am just going to have my own way." I start unbuttoning her shirt and her bra, letting her big breasts free. I look toward her face and notice her glancing at me. "Don't blame me for this! I am going to be a bad boy because you're being a bad girl." I bite down on her nipple which she definitely enjoys if hearing from the lustful groans that escape her sealed mouth. I then proceed to pinch her nipple between my teeth and rotate them around and pull them.

"Hngg!" Trying to resist are we? Well, try as hard as you want it's useless. I massage her other breast with my left hand and finger her womanhood using my right hand. Her groans turn to moans as I let myself went wild with her body. "Aaaahh! AHN! HAAAH! AAaaaahhhhhh! Igoooo!" See, you're losing your stubbornness. I let go of her nipple and move my mouth to her lower lips. I stretch out her labia and start licking. "AAAAAAHHH! Huuuh! Aahn! IGO! IGO!" She screams in pleasure as her legs wrap around my head and I could see her pulling me deeper into her.

"Beg for it Stella and I'll give you all the pleasure you'll ever need." I pause my tongue movement while my hands rub her thighs gently. "Or do you want to stop here?"

"…please Igo."

"Yes?" I spread her Labia and enter my finger on her peeing hole.

"Aaaaaaaaa… Please Igo. Please give me pleasure."

"Okay, Fleet Admiral." I then use all my experience handling girls which is overwhelming for a first timer like Stella. How do I know? Because not even a minute later, she came right into my face while screaming and bends her body backward from the pleasure. At first I wait for her breath to calm down before doing it again and the result were the same, she came straight at my face a minute later. I try to do the same thing to train her, but she came again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again until her body went limp and she just lay there, letting out a pathetic moan once in a while. "Stella, are you still there?"

"…ah…..ahn…" Guess not, which mean I could fuck her in the ass without any resistance! YES! I turn her body around and she's way lighter than before. "….Igo….don't…." Did anybody hear that? I think I am hallucinating. I lift her ass up and line my dick with her asshole. PREPARE STABBING HER IN 3…..2…1….GOO! I push my dick as deep as I can. "WAAAAaaah!" Stella muffle scream could be felt through the vibrating bed.

"Uwooooh….." I let out a long groan as my Stella's ass wall wrap itself around my dick. I slap her ass once and her ass gets tighter. "Come on Stella, squeeze harder! Raise your ass higher!" I slap her ass again and again until it turns red. "Come on! Still stubborn aren't we? Fine then I AM JUST GOING TO HAVE MY WAY!" I grab her waist firmly and pull my dick back. "One…Two….Three…GO!" I went full throttle on her until I could hear a loud smack from our smashing flesh.

"Uooh!" I start moving my hips slowly before going faster and faster and so did Stella's moans. "Aaah…..AAaaah….Uwoooh…..AAH! AH! AHN! HAHN! HNG! Uooh! IGO! IGO! STOP! AAH! AH! HAH! FUCK!" Stella scream as loud as she can before cuming and wetting the bed. Her body shivers like a wet puppy on a cold day and a low grunt escape her mouth. "Uugggghhhhhh…."

"Why did you cum so early? I am not going to stop just because you've cum you know right?" My hips movement was as fast, hell faster than before because her loud screams energize me. It works so good that we spend an hour fucking, in which Stella came multiple times before I decide that enough is enough and came in her butt, once. *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* "That was great, wasn't it?"

"Uuuuuurrrrgggghhhhh…"

"Stella, answer me…." *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP*

"UUUurrrrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…"

"Come on! *SLAP* *SLAP* It feels like I was talking alone here!" *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP*

"UUUUUURRRRRGGGHHHHHH…."

"Ugh! *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP*You change so much since our highschool days! *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* You used to snap back or answer me all the time! *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* And now you're just staying silent after we have anal sex?! *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* Ugh! *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* *SLAP* I miss the old Stella."

"…..You're going to die after this."

"Hehehehe….." I giggle when after hearing a familiar respond from Stella. I release her hands from the knot and turn her body around. "HAHAHAHA!" You should look at your face!" I couldn't help but laugh when Stella's face, who was still drowning under pleasure, came to view. "I wonder what your younger self would say when she sees your face now. She might say 'I better train my ass! Don't want Igo darling to see me like that!' but you know what, I like a honest woman like you."

"….Iiiiigggooooooo…"

"Yes honey? Is there something that I could help you with?"

"…Please slap yourself."

"Nope, don't be a spoil girl and do it yourself." I slap her thigh once and back away from her. I start dressing myself while eyeing Stella's sexy naked body. I want to do her again but Stella probably doesn't have enough energy to even moan. "Stella, come on now! Get up!"

"….five more minutes."

"No, no, no… get up." I pull her limp body up until she ragdoll forward. "Come now! The tour isn't finish yet." When she wasn't responding to my words, I put my hands on her shoulders and shake her body violently. "Wakey wakey! Wake up Stella! What are you-Bugh!" The limp Stella suddenly delivers a quick jab to my stomach which make me stumble backward from the pain. "I….may deserve that…..guh…."

"You deserve more…..sigh…." Stella step down from the bed and start dressing herself up. "I can't believe you've done that."

"Hey, you have your way with my younger self so I can have my way with your current self."

"That's not how it works! I wouldn't mind if your younger self has his way with me because he is cuter! The you right now are just a big pervert!"

"You are just the same as me!"

"You want to have your way with my younger self?! You pedophile!"

"You're also a pedophile then!"

"I said I'll let your younger self have his way with me not the other way around! Since you like big boobs and all."

"Then do you like small dick?"

"WHAT!?" Stella's face immediately turns red from embarrassment. "NO! I just like your cute face!"

"So you like my dick then? Guh!" Stella gives me another jab.

"Let's stop stalling our tour. I don't want to hear another stupid thing coming out of your mouth."

"Stella! Guh! Stop….punching….me…"

"Then stop saying stupid thing!"

Before I could say anything, Stella take my key and unlock the door. She pinches my ear and pull me out of the room, forcefully. We walk-Well I was pulled but she walk- to the next room. The next room beside is a storage room, at least that what Stella told me, and it take the space of two rooms. The door is made, unlike the other rooms, out of steel and it doesn't have any doorknob but a little panel next to it.

"This room store one of the most important things in this whole archipelago." Stella let my ear go and point at the little panel. "I am going to put in the numbers so watch carefully." I nod at her and carefully watch her hand. She quickly punches in the numbers and the next moment, the steel door immediately moves to the side and vanish. Inside the room are bright blue glowing cubes with a little galaxy in them and the cubes are being stored on rows of shelves.

"What are those?" I ask to Stella from outside the room. I may be new in Azur Lane hierarchy but even I can feel the enormous pressure coming from inside the room. It wasn't scary or anything. It's-Ummm how do I put this feeling to words?-Overwhelming. Very, very overwhelming.

"Those are wisdom cubes, master Igo."

"Belfast? What are you doing here?" Stella ask the maid behind me which I am also surprise. Is she a part-time ninja? I didn't even hear her footsteps ascending the stairs or even walking down the hallway.

"I was wondering if everything was okay since the tour hasn't finish yet." Belfast lift up her skirt a bit and lower her head. "I'll be providing a new bed sheet for commander Igo's room soon."

"! You heard it?!" Stella yelled in surprise and her face turns red once again. Her moans were loud, so I'm not surprise if Belfast heard them.

"I didn't, master Stella." Wait what? Then how did she know? "Master Igo's room is open and I saw a huge wet patch on his bed and both of you are sweating." Both me and Stella touch our skins and yes, they are wet and sticky. "There is no need to be embarrass masters. It is one of the joy you could-"

"STOP! STOP!" Stella suddenly screams and drop her body down. She covers both of the ears with her hands as her scream of embarrassment continue. "DON'T CONTINUE IT ANYMORE! STOP IT BELFAST!"

"You broke her." I whisper to Belfast.

"Oh my….I seem to have accidently," Doubt. "bully my master and my other master is grinning devilishly at her."

"Oh, am I? I can't tell. It's okay Belfast, I am enjoying this. Can you be my tour guide? Since my current tour guide is incapacitated because of someone." Belfast's cute giggle somehow sound louder to my ears than Stella's depress mutterings.

"My pleasure, master. How about we enter the room first?" We both walk past the dark gloomy thing sitting and screaming on the ground and enter the room. The room is dark and cold, like super cold. I don't even need to stand inside the room longer than a second to be shivering like a furless puppy in a rainy day. "Are you okay, my master? I could explain about the wisdom cube in the office if you want."

"No, no it's okay. It'll be better for you to explain while I can observe see them directly." Belfast nods her head in affirmation. "By the way, why do you keep them inside, what basically, a freezer? Will they explode if I touch them?"

"No, they won't explode if master touch them." Thank god. "As to why we keep them in a cold room is because we are planning to study them and we think it best to make sure they aren't deteriorating."

"Oh you mean like preserving it or something like they do on those subjects for experiment?"

"Yes. We are taking precautions." I see. Experiment huh? Do we have scientist here? "We don't know whatever they can deteriorate or not but just in case. It's better to be careful." Understandable, have a good day. "The wisdom cube is the core of us, shipgirl."

"Excusa? What?" Did I hear that right? Did she say this cube thingy is her core? Wait what core? I thought they are human like us but they have riggings. Are they actually robot? Do we humans have core? I never read or learn about human having core though. Do heart count as core? Or does the brain consider as core? Or is it the soul? Do we have souls? Is soul a real thing? Is it a physical object? What the fuck am I asking?

"Yes, master. You hear me right. We, shipgirls, are born from these wisdom cubes."

"How?"

"We still don't know specifically about that yet and we have and will conduct experiments that we hope will shed some light on that topic." The shipgirl herself doesn't know than I assume nobody is, then again, people need a psychologist to learn about themselves so…..fair enough. "Do you want to touch them, master?"

"Sure." I stretch my right arm toward one of the cube. The overwhelming pressure I feel earlier become more and more overwhelming the further I stretch my hand before suddenly the pressure disappears when my hand was hovering above it. Should I do it? Well, Belfast said it was okay soooooo… here goes nothing! I lower my hand slowly until my palm touch the top of the cube. Hmmmm….it feels cold. "Hey Belfast…Belfast….Belfast?" I try to call Belfast multiple times but I don't receive any respond. I turn my head to where Belfast was standing and see that there's nobody there.

Where is she? I turn my head back to the cube that I was touching and, same like Belfast, it was gone. What the fuck is going on?! I put my arms up in front of my chest, lower my center of gravity by bending my knees a little, plant my feet firmly on the ground and keep my eyes and ears open for anything that is moving. Shit! My damage left eye is giving me quite big blind spot especially in this dark room. I turn my head around like a radar searching for its target. I didn't see anyone but I did notice that with each time I take my eyes of something, the next moment I try to look for it, it was gone. The next thing I know is that I am standing in an empty room without any door.

Calm down Igo. Take a deep breath….hold it…release… my heart's beats are normal. I try to walk toward a wall but the moment my first step hit the floor, the entire floor, roof and walls flew away like a bunch of cardboard. My heart almost pop out when I see nothing below, above or around me, only white, unreachable horizon that make me feel weirdly comfortable. I was standing on my feet which are firmly plant on nothing. I crouch down and try to touch the ground but my hand immediately went through what supposed to be a firm ground. I immediately pull my hand up, afraid of what this non-existing surface could be. A hole? A beast's mouth? Trap? I don't know but there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Okay…..my feet are standing on something and that's a fact but how large this something is the question here. Could I be standing on top of a small platform or am I standing on an edge of something. There's no surface in front of me so if this is really an edge that means there should be a surface behind me.

I lift one of my leg up and slowly move it back but I don't plant it down. The world change earlier when I took a step forward so could I reverse it by taking a step back or will the world stay like this or will it even change to something completely different. Should I risk it? Probably yes since I don't have anything to lose anyway. I mean look at this place, nothing but a white canvas. I put my lifted up foot back down and the entire world change.

A large amount of clouds rush in from every side of the horizon, changing the dull white sky to an orange evening with scattered clouds. The next moment, tsunamis barreling down from every direction toward me. I put my guard up again, waiting for the eventual pain the tsunamis will cause but the tsunamis crash into something around me like there is an invisible wall all around me. What happen there? Is there actually a wall in front of me? I try to stretch my hand forward to the place where the tsunamis were stopped but I didn't feel anything, no solid surface, nothing at all.

The fuck is going on? Where am I? What did the wisdom cube do to me? I look down on my feet and see that I am standing on the water,-no I am standing on the surface of a sea. Am I a shipgirl? A shipboy? But I don't have any riggings and I was born out of my mother not a weird cube that transfer people to unknown destination.

I try to look around again. It looks like I was in the middle of the sea on the evening with scattered sky, but still no land or anything that I could use as a landmark. I crouch down and scoop some water using my hands. They are real, I could feel the coldness and wetness from them. I sniff and taste them and feel the saltiness on my tongue and nose, but I also feel, see and taste something. I move my hands around to examine the water carefully. There's little layer of oil on the surface. I think it's also what I smell and tasted earlier. I let the water drop to my shoes but weirdly, it doesn't make my shoes wet and the palm of my hands are also dry even when I feel the wetness from the water earlier.

I take another step forward and the entire world change again. This time the sky was filled by hundreds of propeller planes and if my memory serves me right, those are the planes Eagle Union's carrier used in WW2. There also a lot dark patches of smokes in the sky, not clouds but smokes that was produced by AA bullets. I look at my feet and a thick trail of oil leading behind me or rather, I was leaving a trail of oil behind me.

Where was I going? I look up and see multiple planes diving toward me while carrying bombs under their fuselage. I step back and the world change again. The diving planes vanish in front of me but they were replaced by biplanes coming at me horizontally with torpedoes on their belly. The sky was dark both from the absence of the sun and the atrocious weather.

I take another step back. The world change into peaceful scenery. The sky was bright blue, the wind feels nice on my skin, my nose was also spoil by the fresh air, and there are islands encircling us. Us? I look around and see silhouettes of people standing on the water surface just like me.

"HEY!" I scream at them while waving my hand, but none of those silhouettes even move. I was afraid to walk to them since a step would change the entire world. "HELLO! COULD YOU HEAR ME!?" They aren't moving at all! Shit! Do I have something that I….can….throw? As I was ransacking my pockets, a huge plane shadow followed by the sound of engines roaring high above me. I look up and see a four-engine propeller-driven plane. It's probably huge because I can see the outline of the plane even when it was thousands of kilometers above me. The plane fly above me, dropping something behind it that was getting bigger and bigger. It looks like a bomb,-no, it is a bomb and it's coming at me fast.

I stumble back in fear and the world change again as I plant my foot down. I was expecting a solid footing for my back foot but there was nothing to support it and I fall back. Preparing for the eventual impact of my ass hitting the ground or water in this case, I was surprise when the waterline rises up to a level way above me. The feeling of being submerge and continuously falling fill my heart with great unease and I try to swim up. It was futile and soon, I hit the sandy bottom. I stand up and carefully try not to move my feet as to not change the entire landscape again.

I look around. It was dark, cold, wet and unbelievably calming. I also feel lonely and…..satisfied? What is this feeling? Whatever, I need to know where I am. I scan out my environment and try to make out any kind of outline but there was nothing, not even a rock was present where I am right now. I don't know whatever it was because I could only see a few meters around me or there was actually nothing other than miles of sand.

Where am I? Is there something here or do I wait for something to arrive? How long have I been here? The fall was quick but by the fact that I can't see the surface or even lights at all means that I was hundreds of kilometers under the sea. Is there anything I could do? I ponder and ponder but there is nothing to help me in this lonely place. But suddenly, in the corner of my eyes, a little light moving towards me. It was an anglerfish and it keeps on moving even after it pass me. Should I follow it? If I try to take a step, everything would change and the fish would be gone, right? Well It's not like I'll lose anything anyway. What will I gain from standing on the dark depth? Nothing, so better get going.

I took another step forward and yep, the entire world change again. This time, I am back in the surface at night on some kind of dock near at the edge of a jungle. The dock was surprisingly empty but I could see some puff of smokes rising from the horizon, probably coming from ships. Dunno whatever they are approaching or leaving though.

No way….. I couldn't believe my eyes, The anglerfish from the depth was there, not as an angler fish but as a fireflies. How could I tell that it was the anglerfish, because there is only one of them here, in the beach and moving like the anglerfish earlier. Or maybe I am tripping and that it was just a normal firefly. There could only one way to find out. I take another step while keeping my eyes firefly.

The world change from a peaceful dock to a burning hell. The firefly was replaced by a little floating trickle of burn wood being flown by the wind, but I know better that's not how wind move. It weirdly moves just like the firefly earlier which mean. A CONSTANT POINT!? I start running towards it, slowly gaining my distance with it. The world change with rapidly but I don't care. I need to capture or just touch it.

Rainy evening, stormy dusk, snowy morning, calm night. I keep on running and running. Burn sea, spilt oil, exploding shells, diving planes. There is nothing that can stop me now. I just want that light to be mine!

COME ON! COME ON! At the last stretch I jump and manage to capture it in my hand. The world turns white again just like earlier. Did I reset it? God damn! Do I need to go through all of that again!? Sigh…..guess there is nothing to be gained just by standing here. I take a step forward.

.

.

.

.

Nothing change. Huh? What? Did I break this world? Why isn't it changing? I try to take another step and nothing is changing except that now there is a weird blob, floating in front of me. I take another step and the blob glow larger. I walk towards it and it moves back and growing again. This one isn't like the light, it is keeping it distance. This couldn't end well but again, nothing that I would gained just by standing here. I start walking toward it and it steadily grow until it was my size. It's just become a gray mannequin that is floating and keeping it distance. Will it grow even larger than this?

I take another step and I fucking regret it. The mannequin skin turns to match mine. How do I know? It has the same burnt patch but it was on the left side of it. Same color, same patches and marks. Everything was the same just without the eyes, mouth, nose, ears, everything. It's just a mannequin with my skin. I step back in fear…

.

.

.

.

And it legs start copying mine. I was moving my left leg back and it moves it right leg forward in respond. I took a big leap back, trying to make distance.

.

.

.

.

.

It left eye open up.

Out of nowhere, a slit formed on where the left eye is right now and open up, revealing my crimson eye below the eyelid. It wasn't looking at me per say, but it was still creepy as fuck when what was supposed to be my eye on someone else. There wasn't a light or a hint of humanity in that eye which creep me even further. I accidently step back and it follow me forward and start moving its left hand. If it's going to follow me then I could punch it with my right hand and it would connect with its left hand.

I launch a straight punch with my right arm and as expected, it connected with its left hand. What I didn't expect was how big the feedback was that it managed to push me back. It starts to use its left hand. It's becoming more me.

Calm down….Inhale….Hold it…Release….. I should stay put and think of my next action carefully. I don't want

Complete me…..

"!" A voice ring inside my head. It was mine but I am not the one who's saying that. I step back out of surprise and the mannequin acquires its right eye. I plant my left foot firmly to the ground and swing my right leg towards it. I expect it to swing its left leg, mirroring me but it uses its right leg instead to counter my kick that cause our foot to collided in mid-air.

Shit! I plant my foot back to the ground and the mannequin receive my red hair.

Finish me….

No. I need to think my next move.

Move…

It copies everything I do.

Complete me…

I wonder what it will gain after this?

I am incomplete…..

"SHUT THE FUCK UP WILL YA!? I AM THINKING HERE, YOU BITCH!"

I am not a bitch….

"YES, YOU ARE!" I plant one of my foot forward firmly and it gains my mouth. That's okay, I am not planning to move further anyway and I am running out of options so I just have to go at it. I start throwing punches at the mannequin, trying to create a window of opportunity. Our hands keep on smashing on the air but since my feet was firmly plant on the ground, I wasn't being push back as much like earlier.

No….

What?! "!" The mannequin suddenly grabs my oncoming fist and pull me forward. Its foot trip mine over but I instinctively trying to stay upright and hop forward a couple of times before finally manage to stop.

"Finally….. I am perfect!" My voice. He has my voice! I turn around and see 'me' standing there, scanning around his body. It is wearing my uniform, it's hair was styled just like mine, everything that was mine is now his too. "I have to say, this is quite a nice body."

"Who are you?"

"Hm yeah, that is a good question." He put his fingers on his chin and think for a few second. "Physically, I am you but mentally…I am not?" You don't FUCKING say!? I can tell just by looking with my own eyes. "It may cause confusion if I have the same name as you, so feel free to name me."

"Fucking bastard."

"Other than that."

"Fucker, explain now."

The motherfucker facepalm himself and let out a loud sigh. "Sigh….. I am just going to roll with it." He shakes his head a few times before facing me again. "Before I start explaining the unexplainable, I am going to ask you. Do you know where you are?"

"If I am looking at you, I am guessing Hell."

"That is a no. Okay next question. Do you know what a wisdom cube is?"

"Blue box thing a magic."

"Well, you know it physically, thanks me for that." He punches his fist up celebrating something that I honestly don't care about. I am just staying shut and calm to hear his explanation. "And talking about cube, it seems that someone is coming." He lowers his head and turns it sideway.

A jolt of electricity suddenly run down my neck, causing me to shiver heavily and I immediately turn my face where he is facing. I see a fast growing darkness on the horizon, consuming the light and creeping ever so closely toward me. I face back toward 'me' and said. "Shouldn't you be doing something right now?"

"It's okay." He closes his eyes. The darkness grows and grow even more until it suddenly stops after it consume half of this world. "No harm shall come near you in this sacred place." Hearing that from someone the mannequin I fought earlier is weird. He opens his eyes before saying. "Here it comes."

I face back toward the dark side of the world and see a faint red light in the sky. At first I thought it was a star but I realize that it was growing ever so brighter which mean that it was coming at me fast. I cross my forearms in front of my body in a guard stance and prepare myself. I could feel the cold and wet of the water earlier so I am probably going to feel the immeasurable pain if that star is going to hit me.

"Calm down." The red light suddenly stops in front of me while pushing a massive amount of wind around that I feel like I was in a middle, what I would like to assume, a tornado. "I've said it to you. No harm shall come near you in here." The red light disperses slowly like a dandelion after someone blow it, leaving a black wisdom cube with bright red galaxy inside of it. "Quite an eye-catching way to arrive." The black cube drift slowly toward me before it hovers around 40 centimeters in front of my chest.

Should I touch it? I mean, I was transferred here when I touch the blue one so will it transfer me somewhere else when I touch a black one? And that 'me' said that I would be safe if I was here so what happen when the black cube transfers me? Will I be in danger? Should I ask that 'me'? I mean, I don't know who he is but he looks like he knew more of these stuffs. Can I trust him?

"You can do whatever you want. Touch it, leave it, throw it. It is your choice." Motherfucker ain't making it easy eh?

"Sigh…..before I am going to be transfer somewhere else, fuck you." I take a deep, deep breath and prepare myself for the worst. "Here goes nothing." I slowly stretch my right arm forward. The feeling of unease and nervousness start growing inside my heart as I anticipate for the next tripping-balls journey through worlds. "FUCK IT!" I raise my right hand as high as I can and swing it down hard. I am going to dunk this piece of shit!

Which world am I going to visit? What kinds of scenery am I going to indulge my eye into? Whose perspective am I going to be in? Will it be the same like earlier where I walk through worlds with movement? Or will there be a new way of traveling? This pondering isn't going to get me anywhere if I don't touch the cube. My hand was just about to touch the black cube and…

.

.

.

.

.

The world change. The familiar bright-blue-white-galaxy-filled cube is in front of me and the room is also cold and dark not like the half white half black and temperature-less world earlier.

"IGO!" "MASTER!" Both Belfast and Stella yell in unison while holding my right hand way above the cube. They both look so concern and afraid with cold sweats on their foreheads, slowly trickling down their faces.

"Are you okay?!" Stella immediately hug me tight and pull me out of the room. She then hurriedly scans my body with her hands like those TSA agents on an airport. "Are you hurt somewhere?!" She places her hands on my cheeks and pull me closer. I could feel her eyes scanning my face thoroughly like my face was a spot the difference puzzle.

"Should we go to the clinic, master Stella? I believe Lady Perseus is still there."

"Calm down." I raise both of my hands in front of me like a surrendering robber. "I am okay. It's still me, Igo. We don't need to go to the clinic or anything." I put both of my hands on Stella's shoulders and try to calm her body down.

"Are you sure Igo?"

"Yes, I am." Probably. I genuinely can't tell if I am okay or not. My body feels like it was floating even though my feet was touching the ground. My mind was hazy and it isn't going anyway anytime soon by the feel of it. "My head is just….dizzy….. but I am okay. I am okay."

"How about a warm cup of tea? Belfast."

"Yes master. I shall brew it right away." Belfast immediately walk down the hallway and vanish when she went down the stairs.

"Are you seriously okay, Igo?" Stella ask me again but with more sadness in her voice. I could see tears almost break through her eyes as she glares at me. "It's okay. Just answer me honestly."

"I think I am okay. I am not hurt though. What happen?"

"You don't know?"

"…nnooooo? What happen, seriously?"

"I'll explain later." Stella hug me again and pull me close to her. "I am just glad that you're okay."


"I see….Do you need a hug?"

"No! Belfast don't! I would personally rip whatever stupid clothes you made for Igo."

Most of her color palate is black and white with black dominance over the white.

"Girls, make sure you don't fall for this bastard! He is mine!"

If her clothes line goes any lower, I could probably see her areola.

"Belfast, I am questioning your loyalty right now."

Isn't she the VIP girl that Stella made a special box for?

Belfast just about to say Stella's having a tantrum right?

"Igo shut up! I'll deal with you later!"

"Don't listen to her Stella. Which one do you trust the most, your boyfriend or a maid?"
