"It was me, Souryuu. I made your sister and commander fall in love with each other so that YOU—" "GUGH!" "—would be heartbroken! And use that small chance when you're depressed to destroy your precious base!"

"W—why?!"

"They fall in love with each other?" "UGHK!" "Because he sees you nothing more than a horny rabbit!"

"What!?"

"Remember when you're making out for the first time with your commander and you came just as he insert his finger.? IT WAS ME, Souryuu! I jerk you off at super speed so it seems you nutted at just a man's touch!"

"TESTER!"

… What… the fuck?

I opened my eyes and see Sheffy's face in front of me but even with one of the world most beautiful face, I can't brush off the confused expression on my face. What the fuck did I just dreamed about?!

I believe it was about Souryuu and… someone else. Who was her name? SHIT! I forgot! Who was it!? I can't pull any images from my memory! Fuck! This isn't how it usually goes!

Huh…

This isn't how it usually goes…

I lift my upper body from the mattress and calmly assess my condition. I was still inside the hotel room with Sheffy sleeping next to me and Souryuu on the other mattress. Both of them are still sleeping soundly which indicate that it's still night time and that suspicion is further proof by the fact that there's no sunlight outside.

The other thing is, my head isn't ringing or in immeasurable pain like usual. Did something happen to Observer? Normally we would instantly meet right after I fall asleep but I don't remember meeting her after I close my eyes last night. I remember the earlier meeting we had when the siren Empress barge in but that's all. Maybe she could only come into my dream once every night? Either that or she get in trouble with the Empress herself.

I carefully pick Sheffy's arm from my body and move it away. "… Mmmmhhh… idiot." Is she dreaming of me? Aaaaww but also ouch! She is still adorable even when she is mocking me. Geez… I wish I can get angry at that face but of course I can't when she is THIS cute. "… Mmmm… I love… you…" GGGUUUHHH! That's not fair!

"Sigh… I love you too." I brush her cheek with my fingers before giving that same cheek a kiss. She smiles after I did that, a very contented smile.

I slowly and quietly slid out of my mattress and walk toward the huge window on the back side of the room. I slide the window with extreme caution because it makes a ridiculously loud sound. The early morning wind sweep pass my face as it rushes into the room. It was wet, cold and salty. It was refreshing especially since just a couple of hours from now on, it will get way hotter. That is summer for you.

I take a deep breath, filling every inch of my lungs with the wet, cold air. "Sigh… Hmm?" When I breath in the air, I manage to glimpse of someone in the darkness. I squint my eyes just to try to see more clearly as to who she was but it's too dark. At least I manage to confirm that there is someone there.

"… master…?" Ah that voice. It could only come from a single person. "… where are you?"

"I am here, darling." I walk toward her and pat her head. She purrs when I did that. It is adorable but sadly, we're not the only one in this room. "Ssshhuuussshh… Souryuu is still sleeping." She glances toward the mound of sleeping meat next to us with an annoyed expression. "Come on… let's go outside, I want to walk with you."

"… yes…" Sheffy slide out of her mattress naked. Ah shit… I forget that last night I pluck the night gown off her body. "… do you want me to go naked?"

"Wear something… or I might lose control and attack you." I whisper to her ear before I nibble on it. Her body jump and a cute squeal exit her mouth. "Adorable… Ehehehe… I'll wait outside." *Slap* I slap her cute butt before making my way toward the hallway.

"… jerk…" My ears catch that little glimpse of grumble growl before I walk pass the doorway and wait outside. I was expecting to have to wait for quite sometimes but Sheffy was thinking different. It didn't take long before Sheffy shows up from the sliding door, wearing the same night gown that she wore last night.

"We're going to walk outside Sheffy… or you already know about this and that perverted brain of yours enjoy exhibitionism, huh?"

"… the only one I serve is you… and you love it, right? Pervert?" Sheffy smiles smugly and she walks toward me. What a beautiful and arrogant maid. Can't wait to break that particular smile. She walks right up to my face and give my dry lips a kiss. "… a certain snake seems to enjoy the view." You know it!

"But it seems not to be the only one, two peaks are very solid right now." We both giggles after my remark. "Let's go. The sun will rise anytime soon." She nods and we make our way toward the front door. As we walk side by side, my eyes seem to not be able to move from one spot. "Does it tickles when your nipples rubbing against the fabric like that?" Sheffy's face slowly turn toward me with a 'seriously?' expression. What? I am just asking.

"… Sigh… sort of." Hmmm… I grab the flaps of her gown, pull it left and right so that it would rubs against her nipples. "… you're the absolute worst… Sigh…" What were you expecting? You know your master, Sheffy. "… we arrive at the front door… I suggest you to stop, pervert."

"Fiiiiiineeee…" I reluctantly let go of her clothes. I SuGgEsT yOu To StOp and yet she was the one who teased me earlier. What a hypocrite. Sheffy walks in front of me and I take a glance on her ass. "Hehehehe… *SLAP* Nice ass, Sheffy!" I slap that cute butts of her hard before I wear my shoes and run outside.

"… you're just the worst…" Sheffy grumble before she catches up with me. "… have you ever consider being a somewhat decent commander?" GUH! A psychological attack?! Why? A physical attack should only be repay with another physical attack! That's the rule! "… Sigh… Why am I hoping for something that would never happen?" GAH! UH! FUCK! I'm wounded! Someone call the medic! "… lets go." Sheffy grabs my hand and pull me down the road. She is so rude and so cute at the same time. GGGUUUHHH! It's not fair! I can't be mad at that face!

I exhale a tired breath before hasten my pace and walk beside her. We both talk and tease each other as we stroll through the misty morning and I notice something. It maybe just me or is Sheffy has become more expressive? I mean, I already master how to read the smallest change of Sheffy's emotion through her face muscle so that maybe why she seems more expressive to me. I guess I need a third party to confirm this.

We continue our walk until my ears catch a certain sound in the air. It's a blunt sounds or more specifically, you know the noise when something made out of wood smash against the same material? Yeah, that's what it sounds like. I wonder what it is. "Hey, want to find what makes that sound?" "…. No." "Well, sucks to be you then. Let's go." I grab Sheffy's hand and forcefully drag her toward where the sound is coming from. I heard Sheffy mumble something behind me but I ignore her.

We run pass some bushes before we arrive at a dirt field among the grasses. Standing on that small patch of dirt was a girl wearing a bright yellow tracksuit. On her hand was a wooden sword that looks exactly like her katana and in front of her is a wooden mannequin. Either she has been doing this for years or she is a monster because that mannequin looks hella broken. "Ah… Good morning commander…." Hey, she notices me. "And… EEH! W—W—WHAT'S WI—WITH THA—THAT SHAMELESS CLOTHES!?" Ah, she notices Sheffy too.

"Good morning Takao and don't worry, this is just Sheffy's normal sleeping gown." I wave my hand at her and try to calm the situation down. Atago is your sister right? I would've thought you get used to this kind of stuff. "She is beautiful, right?" I grab Sheffy's head and smash it into my chest.

"…Ouch…" Yeah I feel that too. That's a little bit too hard on my part.

"D—Do you like t—th—that sort of clo—clothes?!" Takao's face turns beet red. She is very different from Atago huh? I thought siblings would have something in common but I guess that's familiarity ends in the outer shells when it comes to Atago and Takao.

"Well, I like beautiful girls and Sheffy is one of them." I complimented Sheffy with prideful voice. I don't know why did I say that with so much pride but eh… Sheffy seem to like it when I complimented her so why not. "What you wear isn't something that really matter to me. As long as you like it."

"I—I see." Well I am glad that she calm—

"… but he loves the more revealing clothes." When Sheffy drops that bombshells, I pull her head from my chest before smashing it again. "… Ooowww…"

"A—A—Ah… Uh—Uhm… We—Well you are a ma—man after all!" Oh good job, Sheffy! Look at what you've done! "As long as your maid is okay with it, I guess it's fine." I notice that Sheffy was trying to say something and I prevented that from happening by squishing her face into my chest so that she can't open her mouth.

"… *Sniff*…" I'm going to ignore that.

"So what kind of training are you doing? I would've thought shipgirls would train using their rigging and not a wooden sword."

"Well, we do." Oh thank god, she isn't angry at me. I thought that question was kinda rude. "This is just something that I do to exercise and train myself." Takao waves her sword in the air almost like a child showing off the awesome stick he found. "It's a warrior duty to keep her body fit and ready for everything and under all of my rigging, I still have a human body after all." Well yeah, that's what differentiate a ship from a shipgirl, right?

"I see… but with your strength, wouldn't the mannequin be destroyed in a single hit? And isn't that sword to brittle to be used by a shipgirl?"

"Yeah…" Takao's shoulders lump down and her lips curved into a wry smile. Did I perhaps bring out a bad memory? "But it's okay, I know how to control my strength now." Now? How recent was that 'now'?

"Really? Can I see that sword?" Takao's happily hand over her sword to me. I can feel it that this wasn't made by your everyday wood, it feels… powerful… unbreakable… magnificent. Whoever made this must have one hell of a skill because the craftsmanship is marvelous and this is my first time touching it. "This is an amazing sword." I sway the sword around and the only word I can think of is 'amazing'. It didn't hurt my wrist. The weight distribution is perfect. I want one.

"Thank you, commander." Takao scratches the back of her head and her smile turn into a ridiculous one. She is very honest with her emotion huh? Unlike some other maid…

"… achoo…"

"But Takao, how do you train yourself to take damage?" A battle where only one side attack isn't exactly a battle, isn't it? No matter how weak the enemies are, they will always launch some kind of counter attack, either physical or psychological. "Do you hit yourself with this?" If the answer is 'yes' then I am going to brand her as a masochist… which mean she is Atago's sister, just different kind of lewd.

"Of course not." Oh thank god. "If a shipgirl hit me with that sword, it will break before it manages to do any kind of damage to me." This little doggo is getting quite arrogant. "Do you want to test it on me, commander?" Alright, that's a death sentence for you, young lady.

"Sure, but if I manage to make you feel something, I can take somethings from you."

"And if you lose, I will…" I will? "Nevermind! Challenge accepted!" Huh? I will what?! What will you do?! This just make me more nervous! FINE! I guess the only way of making sure I'll never know what the continuation of that sentence is to win, which I will do.

"Fine but you need to close your eyes. I don't want you to anticipate where my attack will be coming from." Like an arrogant doggo she is, Takao proudly close her eyes and boast her chest forward. Man, it must be hard for Sheffy to be looking at such an amazing pair of breasts. Talking about Sheffy.

"… Hm?" I handed the sword to Sheffy and signal her to be quiet. She nods at me with a very confused expression. I understand where that expression is coming from but watch this.

I quietly approach Takao and circle around her, toward her back. I know that I would never ever be able to hurt a shipgirl by pure strength alone but thankfully, I have a very big brain and since I am a pervert, I wouldn't be shy to use any kind of method. Hehehehe… that's your fault for thinking I am decent man, Takao.

Of course when I am positioned behind a woman, there's only one thing that I am seeking of, HER ASS.

.

.

That's sounds so wrong…

I carefully inspect Takao's double back mountain. It looks juicy and delicious. Heck, now that I am looking at it closer, her body is extremely curvy. She really is winning on the genetic game huh? But Atago's body isn't exactly thin either. Hell, I believe her body is more bombastic. So both of these sisters are winning in body roulette.

"I am ready whenever you're, commander." Takao's words bring me back to reality. Yes, it's time to bring shame into her mind. I advance closer to her and hover my hands near the waist band of her pants. Alright, I need to do this quickly because Takao will undoubtedly scream in the first millisecond.

"TAKE THIS!" "HYAH!" *SSLLAAAP* "KKKKKYYYYYYYAAAAAAAA!" Everything was moving at speed beyond normal human comprehension. In what seems like a moment of ascended state, I pull Takao's pants down which reveal her enormous ASS that was covered by a black fabric. I almost forget what I was doing when I have those beauties in front of me but a miracle happened and my body instinctively move to slap those beauties.

It was the hardest slap I ever did in my entire life. My entire body bend, my arm swing from the top to the bottom, my hand steeled itself for the upcoming impact and my eyes never waver from the target.

When it hit, it fucking HIT. The sound it makes echo through the misty sky. The vibration travel through my arm and into my body, shaking every organ inside of me. The amount of force being transferred from my hand make the fat in Takao's ass moves like a wave. The pain I feel on my palm feel like hell but seeing the shape of my hand engraved on that ass make the pain goes away almost immediately.

"GUH! Ugh….! …Fuck!" I grumble while holding my hand. My palm was redder than Souryuu's face last night but it was worth it. I would love to squeeze her ass instead but beggars can't choose, right? Beside, seeing Takao rubbing her red butt is a good entertainment.

"You! You!" Yes? What am I, Takao? "GGGUUHH! YOU JERK!" Takao wailed at me. She pulls her pants up before she charges at me. SHIT! SHE IS GOING TO KILL ME! "HOW CAN YOU DO THAT!?" I start running on the opposite direction and start my morning exercise but this time, I will die if I stop.

"WAIT!WAIT!WAIT!WAIT!WAIT!WAIT! STOP!" I beg Takao with every air in my lungs. She's going to kill me! "SHEFFY! HELP!" I scream her name but Sheffy just stand there, watching her master get chase by a dangerous beast. Her expressionless face somehow feels more annoying now than ever. I am going to punish that son of a bitch after this!

"COME HERE!" SHIT! Takao is catching up! Come on, IGO! THINK SOMETHING! "STOP RUNNING AND BE A COMMANDER!" What do you mean by that?! Do being a commander mean you need to give yourself up?! I don't want to be mauled by a doggo!

"SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" I keep running and running but she keeps coming closer and closer. Alright, time to do something different! I change my course toward the mannequin. That thing is the only ally I have! "TAKAO! STOP!" The closer I got to the mannequin, the closer Takao is getting until eventually, I am in her striking distance.

"COME HERE, YOU!" When she screams that, I drop myself to the ground. I don't care if it'll hurt or I'll get dirty, I know she jump at me and I'll get hit if I try to look back. "WAIT!" Takao soar above me, hit the mannequin and fall in front of me. "Uuugghh…" Takao whines but I ignore her pained noise. I hurriedly get up and lay my entire body on her back. "AH! COMMANDER!? What are you doing?!"

"Shuusshh… I am taking my prize." I climb her body until my face is on the back of her head.

"EEH!? What do you mean!?"

"You said I can take anything, right?" I wriggle my hand underneath her body and grab the zipper of her jacket. "So why are you complaining?" I pull the zipper down and freeing her body off the sweaty track suit.

"AH! AH! What are you doing!?"

"Calm down… Like I said earlier, I am claiming my prize." I whisper seductively on her ears. "I am going to take your virginity. Ehehehehe…" Takao's body immediately stiffen and her face glows brighter than the morning sun. MY EYES! FUCK! IT HURTS! Because Takao stop moving, it was easier for me to push her jacket over her head. "Can't wait to have a taste of these." I grope her breasts and they are as plump as it looks.

"EH! COMMANDER!? WH—WHAT!?" My hands move down and push her pants down again. This time, she won't be pulling it up. "HIII! Please! Not here!" So it's not like 'she doesn't want to' but more of 'this is not the right place', is that right?

"Aw, come on darling. You'll enjoy it." Takao start whimpering when my hands slip beneath sport bra and squeeze her breasts. I feel the peaks harden on my palms as I keep massaging the lump of fat on my hands. "Well look at that, you're enjoying, aren't you?"

"Uh—Nho… I—Uhn… commander…" Has Atago never train her sister before? "Ple—Please not here." I stop groping her chest which calm her down but it was a temporary thing as flip her body and sit on her stomach. "Com—Commander?! Please don't… I'm not ready…" Takao weakly begs me while she covers her face with her hands.

"Don't what, darling?" I move my face closers to hers and pull her hands away. "Come on… I want some answer. What do you not want me to do?" I lick my own lips before I give Takao's left cheek a wet kiss. "You better speak up, darling. The time is still ticking."

"Uh—Ahh—Huh—Uhm—Noo…" I couldn't hold the smug smile inside. Seeing the strong Takao breakdown under my pressure is satisfying. I giggle and pull my head away from her face. "Than—Thank y—HHYYAAHH!" Aaaawww… look at that… she was expecting me to release her. That light on her eyes were adorable but of course, I'm me. I grab the strap of sport bra and push it up and release her huge boobs from their shackles.

"… Uuuuoooohhhh…" My mouth moves without even me thinking. The sight of those fatty mountain bouncing around was the best refreshment for my eyes. I can feel my saliva drooling down my face as Takao's nipples tease me more and more. I WANT TO SUCK ON IT! "… AAaahhmm…" You know the noise a child would make when they are going to eat something, that's the exact noise that come out of my mouth.

"… Ehem…" Uh… the first wife is watching me.

"Well, how about this? I am going to take your sport bra and your wooden sword instead of your virginity." I said to her as I pull the sport bra, the one that I'm talking about, over her head. It's somehow really easy to pull her bra for some reason, almost as if she wants me to do this.

"Wa—wait commander! I haven't said yes yet!" Well your body already did. I mean, look at what I have in my hand, it's her bra and it's already off her body. "KKYYAAA! Com—commander! Why!?" The one who you're supposed to be asking is your own body, Takao.

"Do you want me to take your virginity instead?" Takao's face immediately shakes left and right. It shakes so fast that it starts to act like a fan instead. "Then we have a deal." I stand up from Takao's body and walks toward Sheffy while triumphantly carry Takao's sport bra in my index finger.

"Yo—You jerk!" I am worse than that but sadly, Sheffy is here. She would kill me if I get wilder than this. "Give that back!"

"Hohohoho… Get stronger Takao and challenge me again. I'll give this back once you manage to defeat me." …why did I said that in such a villainous tone? And why said that while walking away from her? "But if you lose… Ehehehehehehe… I'll take your panty next." …again, what's with the villainous tone? Am I villain? "Let's go, Sheffy." I said to Sheffy as I pass by her.

"… yes, master." Sheffy… Why the villainous tone? Don't make me an example! I am a very, very bad example! "… Good bye for now, pathetic weakling." Sheffy! DO NOT! CALL! HER! THAT! "… you are not and will never reach my master's level." Oh whatever… I am going to let her. "… Ohohohoho…" Hahahahaha… That's a stupid laugh! AHAHAHAHA!

Both me and Sheffy keeps walking away from Takao until I can't hear her tiny whimper. Should I feel bad about this? I should, shouldn't I? I just take a bra from a girl and left her braless in the wild and yet, I don't feel bad at all. This satisfaction inside of me… could it be… I am sadist?

"Sheffy…"

"…yes?"

"If I ever cross a dangerous line … please… stop me… at all cost…"

"… yes?"

XxX-XxX

"How was your vacation, darling?"

"It was amazing!" I am now sitting right in front of Stella with Sheffy standing beside me and Belfast standing behind Stella. It is just after breakfast before we both continue our office work. "I have so much fun with my Sheffy." I grab Sheffy's waist and pull her toward me. She instinctively sits on my lap even when I don't tell her to.

"That's adorable…" I know right! Sheffy is the best thing this world has to offer. "By the way Sheffy," Don't be jealous that I give her a cute nickname. "can you tell me your thought about the vigorous master that you're sitting on?" HEY! Vigorous?! Sheffy did this on her own! I didn't force her to sit on my lap!

"… can I be honest?" Stella nods her head. I don't like where this is going… "… he is the most perverted, nasty, forceful, rude, corrupted, useless, and bizarre living being that have and will ever be born." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! GGGGAAAAHH! THE UNRELENTING ATTACK FROM SHEFFY IS TOO MUCH! SOMEONE! THIS IS A GENOCIDE! "…but he still is… a decent human being…" Ah… Thank you! Anymore and I would jump out of the window and kill myself.

"Really? Dare to tell why?"

"… he may be useless but at least he has potential… unlike you, master Stella." "GUH!" Yeah, eat that! Taste your own medicine! "… master Igo is still pure while master Stella has been tainted because Belfast has spoiled you rotten." "AAGHH!" I also want to be spoil! "…master Igo may have the same usefulness as a driftwood but master Stella doesn't have any usefulness at all." "AKH!" Man, Sheffy is ruthless. She is just throwing jabs at Stella without even letting the last one chill down.

"Sheffield… what have I done wrong?!" Yeah I wanna know what Stella have done to Sheffy to receive that amount of punishment.

"… everything." That's a little bit too broad if you ask me. "… you let Belfast mold you into a lump of non-combustible trash." OOFF. It's still hurts me even if I wasn't the focus of the attack. Note to self, don't piss Sheffy off. Stella seems to have an out-of-body experience from Sheffy's insults hence no answer from her.

"Oh my… Sheffield, it's not good to be too honest to your master." Isn't it bad to lie too? So which one should she do, Cowfast? And didn't you hear all of Sheffy's insults? You're also part of the problem.

"… That's the reason why she'll never improve." Oohh… 2 maids fighting. This should be interesting. "… I've told you multiple times and yet you never listen." It's best if she never listens, I don't know how Stella would handle 2 Sheffy at the same times. And I also like the variety of personalities that these girls provide, not only the bodies.

"You may be correct about master Stella." Which side are you on? "But it's our job to help our master." Sigh… that's combination of words again. "No matter how absurd their commands are, it's our duty to help them." What kind of things have Stella asked them to do? There are some emotions behind those words and I'm not sure it's the good kind.

"… and those absurd commands happened because you're not strict." Again, what kind of commands did Stella asked them? "… I've decided… to prevent more deterioration of Azur Lane high command, I'll be master Igo's secretary." Nice one, Sheffy! But why did you murder Stella? The only person that can decide whatever you will be my secretary or not.

"That's an interesting proposal but I am afraid, you'll be too strict with master Igo." Oh don't worry, she won't. Just let her be my secretary, Bel. "What do you think, master Igo? Which one do you want to be your secretary, me or Sheffield?" Stop proudly bouncing your breasts! You're converting me from team Sheffy to team Belfast!

"… MMMMM…" Sheffy grabs my head as she grumbles in annoyance. Why is she letting out on me? I was about to ask her but Sheffy pull me and bury my face in her hair. …alright, I understand what she wants me to do. I rub my face against Sheffy's hair just like she instructed me to do. "… Hmph!" And now the little girl is puffing her chest. You'll never win against Belfast on that department, Sheffy.

"Master Igo, please lift your face. I would like to have your answer." I want you to say that while inside Sheffy's hair. It's so comfortable and nice! I shake my face left and right. "… I shall ask master Stella then." Ooooooh… someone is sulking. Didn't get enough attention from your master? Aawww… that's adorable. "Master Stella, please wake up." *Bonk*

"Ah! Huh! I'm not sleeping!" When Belfast has to bonk your head for you to respond then you're sleeping. "It's nice, isn't Igo? Two lovely ladies are fighting over you." God damn it is! It would be better if you join in. "Hmm… it doesn't matter which one I choose, Igo would definitely enjoy it and I don't want that." FUCK YOU! How could you do that to your 'boyfriend'?! "Hmm… I know, how about both of you be his secretary?"

"No." "…no." Wow, her suggestion got turned down immediately. Who would've seen that one coming? Honestly, I wouldn't mind but I don't think I can do some 'special' time if there are more than 2 people in the room. Can you imagine Sheffy looking at both me and Belfast fucking without intervening? No, of course you can't.

"Alright! Then it settled, both you will be Igo's secretaries!" Okay, I now know what Sheffy and Belfast mean by absurd command. "And I don't want to hear any complaint from any of you, especially Igo." Why do you hate me so much?! What have I done to you?! "Now go inside the meeting room the three of you, the package that you order has arrived and don't forget to digitalized the reports from the last seven days."

"Alright, dictator." I scuff at her before standing up and carry the cute little maid in my arms. "Goodbye and I hope you don't have a good day." I walk out of the room with Sheffy dangling in my arm and I hear Belfast's footsteps behind me.

"A bit excessive but alright, goodbye." That was the last words I heard from Stella before Belfast close the door behind her.

"She can be quite a handful, huh?" I commented and both Sheffy and Belfast nods their heads. I hope she acts more like Sheffy. I mean, I'm carrying her in my arm and I haven't heard a single complaint from her.

We three then arrive at the meeting room and was greeted by a lot of boxes. I know this table have a lot of components but it shouldn't be separated to this extend. The only thing that make sense is that Stella bought some unneeded extra. Sigh… I better start now because this thing would take an entire day to setup.

"… can you put me down, lo—my master?" Ah… sorry about that Sheffy. I carefully place Sheffy on the ground. "…should we start?"

"Yeah, we better start now. Let's start by opening these boxes. Can you girls lift the biggest one here?" Belfast and Sheffy nods their heads. Sheffield and Belfast moves toward the piles of boxes, lift the smaller ones out the way and carry the biggest one to me. Their strengths aren't something that I should underestimated and the fact that they did it without breaking a sweat mean it's not their max.

"Where should we put these, my master?" Belfast ask a good question. The answer is probably near where we would assemble it but we should see whatever this is the table computer.

"Open it first. If it is the table we're looking for then place it anywhere near the middle of the room." Both of them place the boxes to the ground and carefully open it. Sheffy then cutely nods at me which mean that it was the box. "Sheffy, can I ask you to reorganize the boxes on the middle and place it somewhere else?" Sheffy's face bop up and down and quickly get to work. "Belfast, can you carry it on your own?"

"Don't worry, my master. This is nothing." Belfast calmly said to me as she lifts the huge box with one hand. This mean that she can carry heavier stuffs and there's a possibility for Belfast to carry me in her hand and I would like to try that. "I believe here would be good?" I nod at her question and she place the box down carefully in the place where Sheffy just clear up.

"Yes and while you're at it, can you unbox it too?" Belfast nods and carefully lifts out everything. A single beefy black pillar, a thick top, some cables and the others necessary parts. "Hmm… Sheffy, can you search for a duct tape? The cables would definitely need to be secured." Sheffy immediately dive into the piles of boxes. So we order some?

"My master, I am sorry to ask, but could you help me secured the top with the leg?" She asks while holding the huge top above the pillar. Belfast really work fast huh? I haven't even say anything and she's already done it. "Don't worry, I have read the instruction." A fast reader too.

"Sure." I crouch down under the table, grab the screwdriver and the screws and start to work. I was expecting to only need to screw 4 screws but in reality, it was 8. If they're worry about it falling down then they should just use 4 legs instead. "Can you try shake it, Belfast?"

"Please keep your head down, my master." I did and Belfast start to shake the table, trying to get the top off. I was afraid that her shipgirl's strength would just rip the top off but thankfully, it didn't. "I believe this is sophisticated." Mhmmm… now time to get out from under here. "Hyah!" The exit that I took was Belfast's skirt. I lift her skirt up, molest her thighs before running out and I do all of that, in a blink of an eye. "What a naughty master~~"

"I don't know what you're talking about?~~" Of course I was playing dumb. Stella thought I can't have fun with 2 maids but she thought—

"…a naughty master, huh?" "OW! OW! OW!" Sheffy moves in silently and pull on my ear. "…please do your work, properly." Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm sorry! Sheffy let go of my ear and shows me the duct tape.

"Ah… thanks. Here's the power cable Sheffy! Can you plug it into a power cord or something and tape the cables to the floor?" She cutely nods but before she walks away, I pat her head and kiss her forehead. "Sorry, I know you're jealous."

"…dummy." Sheffy pouts before shaking her entire head violently and run away from me. She's adorable!

I turn to Belfast and notice that the envy in her eyes. All you need to do was asked you know? I place my hand on Belfast's head and pat her. "Just say it, I'll give it." At first Belfast was surprise but she turns her opens mouth into a smile.

"Interacting with Sheffield seems to be a good thing for you, isn't my master?" You don't need to say that out loud, Belfast. Everyone already know that. "Both for you and Sheffield." For Sheffy? Are you sure? I would expect Belfast to be a lot more observant but even the perfect maid can't see that her workmate has been corrupted by her master.

"…Ehem!"

"Ah!" I was startled when I hear the loud fake coughing from Sheffy and instinctively lift my hand from Belfast's head. Yes, yes! I'll work! Jeez, can you see that Belfast is jealous of you? "Bel, is there a drill somewhere that I can use? We're going to need to drill some holes to fit in the support." Belfast nods and then walk into the piles of boxes just like Sheffy. How many things did we bought?

"…can you try turning it on, my master?" I give Sheffy a thumbs up as I turn on the table computer. All of the screen start glowing in a bright blue color before it turns back to black and then the only screen that was glowing was the uppermost screen. It was displaying the default front image of a grassy hill.

I place my finger on the screen and swipe it up and the screen then show me the default desktop. I was about to check the applications but was interrupted by a voice. "I am sorry my master, but could you please move your feet?" It was Belfast with a drill in her hand. The supports were already place on the ground and all she needs to do now was drill the floor and place in the screw. How the hell didn't I hear anything before this?! Is she a maid or a ninja?

"Ah! Sorry about that!" I retreat my feet back and Belfast immediately return back to her work and so am I. I tap the screen 3 times quickly and the main menu open up. Let's see what kind of things this thing come with. I see the usual apps like word, calculator, photoshop, map, browser and etc but also some unusual things like camera? On a table computer!? HOW?! I know there's an external camera but it would only fill up space if you decide not to buy one. Hmmm… maybe Stella bought one.

"…what is this?" Sheffy rise up from beneath the table in front of me.

"Can you use the screen on the side too?" Belfast joining in from beside me. Wait, you're done?! That's fast.

"Yes, you can." I open the control panel, look at the display options and start rummaging through the option. There's a shit ton of mode for the display, VHS, Dark, Autumn, Spring and all sort of nonsense. Why would I need theme?! Who bought this just to fuck around?! This thing is not fucking cheap and it's filled with garbage! Now I know why the Navy only buy the cheaper one. "Hmm… let's see."

"…my master?"

"Wait a sec Sheffy, I need to dig deeper because this thing is full of crap. While I am doing this, why don't both of you search for RAMs and Hard drives? I believe I bought a couple of them with their appropriate casing." Sheffy and Belfast nod again and move toward the pile of boxes. I hear them ruffling around those boxes, reading the label, searching for the right boxes.

Sigh… this is a lot more complex than I anticipated. I drag the control panel to the left and open the file explorer on the right side. If I want to make this faster then I better multitask.

This computer isn't as barren as I was expecting. There's a considerable amount of copyright free music and videos. I play one of the video to check on the audio and it was fucking loud. "Sorry!" I immediately mute the video. I have used a table computer before but I wasn't expecting this much difference in audio.

"…too loud." Yeah, I know. "… here's the RAMs." Sheffy brings me a box in her arms.

"Place them down and assemble them." Sheffy carefully set the box and open it. Piles of RAMs and 4 RAM casings are what inside of that box. "Here Sheffy, let me teach you." I crouch down and grab one of the RAM casing. "Open the casing from the side panel and then insert the RAMs. Each casing can hold ten RAM."

"…I see." I handed Sheffy the casing and then she begins inserting more RAMs into it.

"My master, here is the hard drive that you're asking for." Belfast brought me another box that's considerably bigger than Sheffy's.

"Good. Since you read the manual earlier, I assume you can insert them on your own?" Belfast's face bop and she crouch down under the table. She presses a button before pulling a side of the pillar open. Glad I can leave that up to her.

Now to focus back on my task. I close the file explorer window and focus on the control panel window. It didn't take long for me to find the display setting that I was looking for and I immediately turn it on. Each side screens were compromised of 2 tablets and you can pop them out. It was mainly use as a virtual keyboard but you can use them to remotely control and access this table.

I try to pop one of them out and it immediately changes the display to the same default background with the upper screen, just way smaller. I open the file explorer just to make sure it was connected and yep, it did. I see the same copyright free stuffs in the tablet screen.

*Knock *Knock *Knock

"Huh?" Someone's knocking on the door. "Come in." Whoever it was, it definitely isn't Stella because she would just barge in.

"Good morning, commander." It was Weser… and someone else. I can tell that she is from the Iron Blood based on her clothing which is dominantly black and red. Long black twintail, walking cane that looks more like an axe and of course, a cape. Why do shipgirls love cape?

"Greetings officer, I believe this is our first official meeting." Official? What does she mean by that? How do you officially meet someone? "I am Peter Strasser. An Aircraft carrier from the Iron Blood. It's my pleasure to meet you."

"Ah, the pleasure is mine. I'm Igo."

"Yes, I believe everyone already know your name." Dunno how am I supposed to react to that? Should I be flattered? "You've been quite the talk amongst the shipgirls from all the factions." What kind of things have they been talking about me? Please tell me it's something good.

"I hope it's something good?" Strasser smiles at my question. Is that good or bad? "By the way, is there something that I can help you with?"

"I was here to search for some records and documents but Weser insist on visiting."

"Is this about the date?" Weser slowly nods her head. Eh? She wants to do it now? "Didn't you say that we'll do it on the weekend?" She nods again. But it's Friday though. "Do you consider Friday as a weekend?" She shakes her head. Then why?

"A date?" Peter speaks out in surprise. "I now understand your excitement and your rashness, Weser." Weser glance to her side at Peter with an annoyance look. "For a person who likes to excessively waste her time like you to be acting like this, you must be very concerned aren't you?" Waste her time? What does she mean by that?

"Don't you have somewhere else to be."

"I was but," Peter walks into the room and stands on the other side of the table from me. "I have found something else that's worth my time." Why is she looking at me? Is the thing that worth her time is me? It's me isn't it? I believe it's me because she is looking at me while saying that. Aww… I'm flattered… but I would be more interested by the table computer if I were you. "Officer, may I ask you to guide me on how to use this?"

"Sure… but I am going to need some help with the hardwares." I said as I point at the still-massive pile of boxes. "Stella kind of buy more thing than I actually need." Either that or the UN have some kind people that bought some things for us.

"Okay." Weser and Peter walks toward the boxes, pick something and brings them to me. "Is this part of it?" Weser ask me as she brings a cube size cardboard box. I read the label and it says that it was a projector. A cube projector? I've never seen one.

"Open it." Weser did it and my confusion was further deepen by the fact that this thing doesn't look like any kind of projector that I've seen. "Is there a manual, Weser?" Weser brought up a book up to my face. "Let's see…" Bla Bla Bla Bla… separated the corners of the cube and place it on corners of the room you wish to use as a projection space… Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla… place the corners back on the cube and plug the power cord to a power supply to recharge the projectors. "Hmmm…" How do I pair it?

"Commander?" I speed read through the entire book until the pairing instruction come into view. Let's see… Press the power button on the cube, wait for it to boot up and finally, you can pair it with your device after the power button turn blue. That's easy.

"Weser, can you push the power button on the side of the cube?" Weser nods and she rubs her hands against the side of the cube until she finds the button. She presses it and the cube instantly emits a mechanical sound. "Weser, tell me once the power button turns blue, okay?" She nods.

While we're waiting at for the hardware, I am going to look for the cube projector on the computer. I open the connection setting to see whatever the projector would show up but it still hasn't. On the other hand, there's a wifi network called 'Azur Lane' but I don't know the password.

"Can you teach me how to use this?" Peter have sneakily walk next to me. What's with this shipgirls and their stealth?! How can I be so deaf and blind at the same time?! Why didn't I hear her boobs bouncing around?! Probably because the belt under her breasts.

"But you already know though." I hear Weser mumble from beneath me.

"I know the password." Good.

"Sure." Peter move closer to me when I agree. "This whole thing is just basically a giant smartphone." I can see Peter slowly nods her face on the corner of my eyes. "Normally, a virtual keyboard would pop out when you touch the column but I've configure it earlier to show the keyboard on the side screen."

"So that's why it's leaning…" Yeah, the upper part where the screen is smaller than the bottom part where the top meets the pillar. It's both for easier typing on the side screen and so that's the side screen wouldn't fall off.

Peter brings her hand forward and touch the column where you'll insert the password. The moment her finger touches the screen, the side screen where she is standing shows a virtual keyboard. "See, you can use that."

"Yes." Peter instantly change to the numerical keyboard and type in something. The password was… interesting. It reminds me of something about me.

"Did Stella create the password?"

"Yes. It's your birthday, right?" Peter sends me a naughty smile as she asks that. Hey, give that smile to Stella not me. "I always wonder why did officer Stella use this particular string of numbers frequently." That idiot… "I now know after I read your file. So how does it feel, officer? To be so treasured by someone."

"… I treasure him more." Sheffy, focus on your job.

"I'll make him fell more treasured." You too Belfast.

"Flattered, I guess." Mia does the same thing so it's not really a surprise for me but I guess when you accounted for the fact that me and Stella hasn't meet in years, it's a surprise. "I kinda forget her birthday though which kinda make me feel bad."

"Don't worry, she never brags about your memory anyway. She probably already knew that you forget her birthday." Aw and Ouch. It's sweet that she knows me so well and even brags about me but it's also hurt the fact that she knows about me too well that she predicted something so correctly.

Weser tugs on my pants which instantly causes me to look down. "It's done." She said as she shows me the cube. I check on the computer and yep, there's the projector which I immediately pair with the computer.

"Weser, can you pull the corners out? We need to place them on the corners of the room." She nods and did what I told her to. The corners that she pulls out looks like a three sided pyramid without the bottom. "Cool, now we need a ladder."

"There's no need to." Weser said to me as she stands up. What? Shipgirls can move item with their brains now? Are you guys connected to The Force or something because I didn't see how else are we supposed to attach these to the corners. Weser summon her rigging which almost destroy everything because of how big these are. "Please hop on." The riggings?!

Because she is an aircraft carrier, most of her riggings consist of flat spaces where her plane can take off and also 3 mechanical dragon heads(?). That's awesome and also dangerous because of how sharp those teeth are. Can she use those in battle? Those heads look like it can only be use in close range whilst she is an aircraft carrier who, in normal and most circumstances, should never be in any range of an enemy gun. Eh… each ship with their own style I guess.

"I object." Belfast arise from the depth of under-table. "I can't let you put my master in danger." Aaawww… that's so sweet.

"I'll let you catch him if he ever falls."

"Alright then. Proceed." Never mind, fuck her.

"Sigh… to avoid that from ever happening, I'll help with my riggings too." Peter summon her riggings and manage to push the pile of boxes and make it fall over. Stella gonna fucking kill me. "… That should make it easier to unload." Yeah, no.

"Alright, after this, new rule. No rigging summoning inside building." Weser and Peter shifts their face away from me while nodding. "Now, lower your riggings." Weser's and Peter's riggings line up next to each other. I pull my feet from my shoes and socks, both because I don't want their riggings to be dirty and I want to increase drag force because my feet are way rougher.

I carefully place one of my feet on the riggings and it immediately remind me of the time I landed on one of siren's destroyer. I thought it was because these shipgirl are out-of-the-world existence for me just like the siren but I quickly notice, that was not the only thing. This feeling… the palm of my feet remember it too well. 'It welcomes me'… that was Observer said and coincidentally, the heads of Peter's and Weser's riggings purr at me. Much like a cat to their owner.

"My master?" Belfast call me out. Probably because I wasn't moving after my foot landed on the rigging. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, it was nothing."


Ah… the chocolate milk it's good too."

FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTAND THE GREATNESS OF CHOCOLATE MILK!

"…over my dead body."

"Let me have my time, Sheffield."

"Alright, hand over your underwear to me."
