"So what's for today meeting?"

"It's a weekly meeting so for the most part, it's just to review what happened this week and the plan for the next week." Stella calmly answer my question. We're now inside the meeting room with several maids standing near the walls. The maids have been busy preparing the room from the break of dawn, chairs and tables were lined up side by side making a huge 'U' shaped with the table computer in the middle. Me and Stella are sitting behind a much more expensive looking table on the top of the 'U' shaped tables.

"I believe you said that there's at least thirty pranks and stupid incidents happened each day so today's meeting would go on for a long time, huh?" I jokingly said to her to break the cold atmosphere the air conditioners have brought to us then again, Stella and me doesn't exactly capable of having a heavy atmosphere between us.

"Sigh… we'll skip the trivial part." Stella hold her face on her hands and shakes her head in disappointment. On the table in front of us were several files filled by reports and summaries. "Have you prepare everything on the computer yet?"

"Yep, don't worry." I casually said to her while waving my hand. "When will the meeting start again?" I ask as I light up my phone and check the time. It's 9.15 AM and I believe Stella said the meeting start on 9 o'clock.

"Nine." I guess I was right but that leave the question, where are the girls? "The worst case scenario has happened…" Huh? I turn my face toward Stella. What does she mean by worst case scenario? "Can't believe your presence could change so much, Igo." Huh? Excuse me, me what?

"What do you mean?"

"Sigh… I should've always prepare for the worst." Stop talking to yourself and answer me, woman. Before I could ask Stella further question, the nation's representative start coming into the room. "Good morning, Richelieu, Jeanne, and Algerie."

"Bonjour commander Stella and commander Igo." Richelieu, the cardinal of the Iris Orthodoxy has just walk in carrying a tall polearm with the flag of Iris Orthodoxy tied to its shaft near the edge. Her strong purple eyes command respect and admiration from her fellow shipgirls. Her charismatic face would make even the coldest and harshest heart willingly follow her through the gate of hell. "I am terribly sorry for coming late. I need to prepare the church for tomorrow." The cardinal said apologetically as she takes on of the seat and both of her companion take their position standing next to her.

"It's okay. Did Jeanne forget something again?"

"Commander Stella!" I can't believe someone that was named after a very important historical figure was a clumsy girl. My first impression of her when we first met at the canteen was that she is a cheerful and determined girl before she ask me where her fork is even though it was in her hand. Several clumsy accidents later and she has cemented herself as a klutz in my mind. "I'm not that clumsy." Just like her cardinal, this girl also carries a weapon in the form of rapier while also wearing a minimal amount of pure white armor. The handle of said rapier though… OOoohh boooy! For comparison, I could comfortably retire and send 7 generations of my children through school just by selling that handle alone.

"Mhmm. Algérie, what did Jeanne forgot this time?"

"Sadly for you, commander Stella, Jeanne didn't forget anything this time." The mace carrying woman said in her overly kind and beautiful voice but that's not the only thing that were beautiful about her. Her purple eyes always look like she's ready to pamper you with love and affection, it's similar to how a mother would look at her child. There's also a little mole just below her left eye which always catch your attention whenever you're looking at her face. "Although… yesterday… ehehehehe…" Same like Jeanne and Richelieu, Algerie brought her weapon of choices which a big and long black mace and to compliment her looks, she wears a pair of pure black gauntlets.

"Algérie!?" I wonder what happened yesterday. "It was the meowfficer!" Now I wonder even more. I know Algérie likes meowfficer since she's always hugging one whenever I met her so there's a high chance that what happened yesterday was also Algérie's fault.

*Vibrate *Vibrate *Vibrate

Hmm? Is someone calling me?

I brought out my phone from my pocket and notice what's the vibration is for. An asshole in the chat has just send me a notification message. The chat application that I'm using with those assholes has a feature that will only send notification when someone specifically send a notification message and will ignore normal message. To counteract the chance of spamming notification, the app would only allow someone to send the notification message once in 5 minutes. So you have to use it sparingly just in case you'll get in trouble in the next 5 minute.

What's the problem this time? I open the app, expecting those fuckers to flood in toward the chat and I was right. Everyone immediately went online and ask what is going on. Good, I can leave everything to them and check what's going on once the meeting is over.

The Best: I'm in an offline meeting right now.

The Best: Emo take care of things.

Emo: Sure.

Emo: Raccoon what's the situation?

I turn my phone back off once I got a confirmation. As much as I want to stay and read through all of Raccoon's information, I need to keep in mind that I'll be in front of some very important people. I don't want to give the impression that I don't respect them.

"Who was it?" Stella whispers to me.

"The idiots." I nonchalantly answer her and tuck my phone back in my pocket. "The trash digger ping all of us."

"Hey! I said that you should stop calling them rude names!" Yes but that doesn't mean I would oblige. "They're your friends!" They could even barely scrape the toe of acquaintance yet alone being my friends, Stella. Stella's expression slowly turns from anger to concern as she asks the next question. "Is it important?" Ah… she must be remembering our highschool days.

"Don't worry. Even if it is, I can't exactly go to them now can I?" Just like in the last 7 years. I lean back on my chair and relax my body. "They're stupid but they should be able to take care of themselves." Hey look at that, my biggest compliment to them in the last 13 months.

"… you could finish your business first. I know how important your businesses are."

"Sigh… Stella, I'm not that Igo anymore." I pat her head and ruffle her hair. "I quit after getting conscripted so today, I'm just doing things for my own entertainment." And to tell the truth, I prefer the current status quo then when I'm still employed to Naive's sister. I mean, she did pay me with a shit ton of money but her treatment to me is… fuck up.

"… Sigh… look, your friendship is something that I'm envy off." We kick, punch, and insult one and another so I have no idea what Stella is envying off. "And I would feel very guilty if I was the one that caused its destruction." Stella, you have no idea how much we fight against each other. Some are even more brutal then the other.

"Good morning, my servant!" Here comes the tiny queen of the Royal Navy. The way she walks in and showcase herself to the entire room is typical queen level of act. If only her body is also a typical queen's level. "Queen Elizabeth have arrived." The petite queen walks and sits on her seat with her sister, Warspite and the overly elegant Hood standing next to her.

"Good morning, Queen Elizabeth." Stella immediately greets her. "Thank you for gracing us with your present, Elizabeth but may I ask as to why you're quite late?" Stella's cheerful and polite tone immediately change into a much more pressing one which cause the little queen to recoil back. Man, the little queen just got intimidate by her subject.

"I—I have my own preparation to make this morning!" Warspite let out a loud and tired sigh while Hood just giggle behind the queen. Preparation? I didn't see her bringing anything other than her royal staff. She looks exactly as cheeky as when I met her for the first time a couple of days ago. "So uuhh… you know…it's normal for girls to be late." What's with the queen today? Her mood just did a 180 and travel through the another dimension. She just acts like a cheeky and now she is a blushing baby. Pick your character, woman!

"Commander Stella, this may sound rude but could you not get angry at her majesty." Hood is acting like a mother. Probably from all the experience she had with Abercrombie, that girl is a headache given a human body. The amount of papers that I need to fill in because of her pranks could drown an adult human. "I understand your concern but isn't it a servant's job to support her queen, commander?"

"I will always support Queen Elizabeth but, there is only one thing that I would never support her on." She really doesn't like people being late huh? That one hell of a character development if I ever seen one. "It's war and I will use everything in my power to win." Wait what? Being late is the same as war?! I would expect that to come out of Peter Strasser's mouth not Stella's. "And that goes to you too, Hood and Warpsite."

"I would like to formally ask for a truce, please." Warspite looks extremely tired when she raised her hand. She sounds like a granny when she said that.

"Denied." Elizabeth, Stella, and Hood immediately destroy that idea down but it's not only the 3 of them that shakes their head, I notice on the edge of my eyes that Jeanne, Algérie, and even the cardinal shakes their heads too. Girls really hate being late huh? The tired and old Warspite let out another tired and defeated sigh. I should give her something after this. She seems to be the only logical person around her except for me.

As Stella, Elizabeth, and Hood get into a heated battle regarding time, the time maniac herself arrive. "Pardon me for my intrusion and I would like to apologize deeply for being late." Peter walks in with her 2 companions. The first one is a big boob, happy go lucky girl with long white hair and a black ribbon that gives her the impression like she has a pair of bunny ears while the other one is a gray haired girl with purple eyes behind an eyeglass and a somewhat modest chest compare to her peers. The first one's name is Prinz Heinrich while the other one was Köln. I have met Prinz Heinrich before while I was having a dinner one day but Köln seems to be a busy person. I heard she is a teacher in the academy so it makes sense as to why I haven't meet her up until now.

"Is it Heinrich?" Peter immediately nods her head.

"It wasn't my fault! Eisen is having one of those naughty day." Eisen? Who's that? Her pet?

"Sigh… Once again, I ask for your forgiveness, officer Stella." With a dejected tone, Peter apologize as she takes a seat while the big boob trouble girl start making a fuss behind her. Köln on the other hand, she just stands next to fuming Heinrich with a calm and collected expression and a little to no movement at all. Her experience as a teacher must have forge her patient huh?

"Well, it's Heinrich so it's not a surprise." Stella fan her hand around her face like she was getting rid of cloud of smoke. "What surprise me more is Köln participation. Wouldn't it be better for you to spend your day off to take a break, Köln? Can't Gneisenau take your place?"

"It's okay, commander." Köln answer calmly. "Beside, Gneisenau is busy with Scharnhorst. She… uh…" What did Scharnhorst do? I have met her and have heard a couple of thing about her and she gives everyone the impression that she punches first before asking question and the reports seem to support that. I have met a couple of exercise reports where it was written that Scharnhorst has break something. "You know Scharnhorst."

"Sigh… What did she break this time?"

"One of the AA gun on top of Graf's house." Stella's face immediately sours up and I can hear some of the girls in the room chuckle. "Yes, it's not going to end quick and clean and that's why I wholeheartedly happy to participate in this meeting." So she is basically running away from an annoying problem. I can relate to that.

"Wait! Then why is Heinrich here? Wouldn't it be better for her to be there to lighten up the situation?" I commented in.

"True but it's time for the girls to take things on their own." Peter answers my question. True, Heinrich isn't always on the Iron Blood's island so if there was a fight where Heinrich is away then that mean there's no one to break it up. I guess Peter wants the girls to learn how to break up a fight on their own.

"Cool but Stella, we should prepare just in case the fight gets out of hand." "Which it will if we are talking about Graf Zeppelin." Stella know her girls so well. Oh yeah, I haven't described this Graf fellow. Well, to put it short, she behaved like one of those goth girls that always broadcast how evil, disgusting, stupid, and repulsive this world is and that's she is going to destroy everything. Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Just like me. I am getting used to her rambling and now, her rambling just goes in one ear and out the other.

"Sigh… once again, I ask for your forgiveness, officer." Peter puts her face in her hand. It must be hard for her huh? "Officer Stella, may I ask what's the progress on Bismarck summoning?" Oh wow. She hasn't been summons huh? Both of my eyes immediately turns toward Hood, expecting to see some kind of reaction from her but it seems that I was wrong. There isn't a single change on her facial muscle nor the atmosphere around her. She must have move on.

"Sadly, I don't have any new info on that one. The Iron Blood has been very busy strengthening their supply route with The Northern Parliament to their east." Eastern Europe? Oh boy, do I have some history with that place. I can feel Stella's eyes glancing toward me as I accidently let out a small chuckle. Hey! I can't help it alright! I have some good and bad history with that place. "Glad you're doing okay Igo."

"Years have pass and you gotta move on, Stella." I jokingly said to her as I fix my sitting position to be more comfortable.

"Ah, I forget to say this yesterday." Peter immediately speak up. What is it? "Thank you for your service, officer Igo. The Iron Blood is forever in your debt." Wait! Wait! Wait! That's a little bit too much! And you shouldn't be giving that thanks to me! You should be thanking Robert because it was his decision that cause all of it. "We truly appreciate the sacrifice you make on that faithful day."

"Peter, that's enough." I said as I stretch my hand up and signal her to stop. "Even if the supply route got cut at that day, it wouldn't take a lot to take it back." What we did was pure stupidity even when you see it at that time. Everyone know about it. Every single one of them knew that they're doing something stupid, that there is a better alternative where there is a higher chance of everyone surviving but we take the stupid path and we pay the stupid price. "What we did was nothing more than a dumbass decision. A meaningless sacrifice." All of that because we don't want the supply route to get cut or civilian dying. But hey, at least Robert got indebted to me so that's a win in my book.

"There is no such thing as meaningless sacrifice." Oh look at that, the next party has arrived. It is the Sakura Empire's Empress, the little fox Nagato and her 2 companions, Mikasa and the grey haired fox that was guarding her when I visited the Sakuran castle. I don't quite get the name of that girl so I'm just going to call her grey fox. "Any sacrifice for the betterment of the people should always be honored." This little fox think she can out wise me… fine, our next training will happen after this and I'll make sure to give her one hell of a time.

"It's not that big of a deal." The government just blow it out of proportion for propaganda purpose.

"For you it may not," Peter's voice seems to be shaking as she said that. "but it means a lot for the people of Iron Blood and the Northern Parliament." Is it really though?

"Alright! Alright! Calm down!" I give up. There's no way I'm winning this debate so I better back up now before it gets more annoying. "There's no need to bring the past now that we're living in the present." I should clarify that they shouldn't bring bad past to the current present. "We just do what we must as a soldier."

"Yes and I believe it's the right thing to do to give you a gift." Huh? If you just want to give me a gift then just say it from the start will ya? I will gladly accept it! "As a representative of The Iron Blood, is there anything that you like, officer? I shall give you anything you want."

"Peter that is a bad idea." Shut up Stella. I need to think. Now… what do I need from Strasser? Hmmmmmmm…

"You're giving me such a scary responsibility… I will need to think about this." And all the girls sigh at the same time I finish my sentence. Look, this is important business for me because I can ask her to do anything. "Let's have a date!" Another waves of sighs echo through the room as I brought up the idea. Look, it's the fastest thing that I can come up to mind remembering my date with Weser tomorrow.

"Ahahaha… sur—"

"EH! I don't think Peter want to do that!" Before Peter could even answer my request, Heinrich immediately butts in and run straight toward me. "She always how time wasting having fun is and hanging out so I'm pretty sure she wouldn't like it." Ah… shit, Heinrich is right. She gets in a heated argument with Weser just because we waste a couple of hours walking around the academy so a time consuming activity like a date would definitely be denied.

"Well then, how about with you, Heinrich? Will you take my offer?"

"SURE!" She grabs my hands and shakes my hands like we had just make a deal. She really is a cheerful girl huh? "When do you want to do it? Next week? Tomorrow? After the meeting?" I can't wait to have fun with her. Her aura and spirit is the complete opposite of Sheffy so I wonder how our dynamic will progress.

"Next week. Tomorrow I have a date with Weser." Heinrich furiously nods her head in excitement. "Alright then, it's a deal. Now go back to your post before Peter get angry at us." She nods again and she let go of my hands and walking away while waving her hands at me. Man, if only she can transfer a quarter of that energy to Sheffy and then Sheffy would definitely act like a normal person.

"My… my chance…"

"Hood, please give that Iron Blood girl some wine after this." Queen Elizabeth command Hood in a condescending tone. "She is going to need a lot." Wine? I know I promise not to drink alcohol ever since the Rika Incident but maybe I can drink some here. I mean, the shipgirls could beat the living crap out of me if I ever try to rape them but then again, I shouldn't try to that. Not only is it wrong but it would also ruin my image and our relationship.

"Algérie, please send Dunkerque a message." The cardinal of the Iris Orthodoxy said to her companion. "Bake some sweets. Miss Peter going to need some after this." What?! Wine and now sweets!? Why can I be spoil by such generosity?! The best I've got is a piece of candy from Dunkerque which is good, don't get me wrong, but it can't compare to an actual sweet.

"Ah… the young ones and their youth… such nostalgic feeling." Mikasa… I guess I should start calling her Granny Mikasa from now on. "Nagato, we should give her something to help her in the problem that she is dealing with." What problem? Is there something happening in the background that I'm not aware of? Is Peter going through some shit right now?

"Yes, I shall arrange some sakuran sweets after this." Tch! Peter gets all the love and gifts and here I am, barely even getting anything. The best I get is a ton of works from Stella. "Commander, do you want some to?" Nagato… you do care about me! You're on my best girl book!

"Sure, as long as you're the one who made it." I was only joking when I said that but the little fox took it seriously as she answers me with a determined expression. "I always love to eat a cute girl's hard work." Stella instantly glances at me. It's hard to read the emotions behind those eyes but I can perceive a sense of anger and jealousy. Suck to be you, Stella. Your girls love me more.

"I shall do my best!" The cute fox clenches her hands in front of her non-existing chest. Well… uuhhh… I wasn't expecting this but you know what? Why not? "Please look forward to it!"

"Aww! Nagato you're so cute!" I said in a high octane voice like a mom praising her baby. "Mind sharing some of that cuteness with Stella? She really need some." "Hey!" Shut up Stella. You know I'm right. On the cuteness scale, you're not on it.

"What is this talk about cuteness?" Hmm? Another challenger has arrived! They are the Sardegna Empire representative. "If you want to rate cuteness then you can't start without me, Littorio, now can you?" The narcissistic sister of the Sardegna leader walk in with a prideful aura. High chin, boasted chest, confident walk and 2 flower bouquets in her hands… what with the flower bouquets? "Forgive us for being late, my commanders. I, Littorio, have to personally pick the most beautiful flowers." I'm more wondering for whom did she brought those bouquets for. One is undeniably for Stella but who is the other one? Eh, it's not for me anyway so why care?

Oh yeah, I haven't described this Littorio fellow. She has a long light green hair with a tiny patch of red on the right side of her face similar to Eugen but on the opposite side. To match her charming hair, she was gifted with a face that radiate pure confident. Smug smiles that never leave her lips and that red eyes that could even tame the fiercest lion, what a perfect combo. What a handsome woman.

"Since each flowers convey different message, I take my precious time to pick the flowers and write a specific message with each of these banquet. This flower over here—" This is going to take some time. As this isn't something important or will affect me in any way, I didn't pay any attention to it. I light up the screen of my phone and the first word that caught my attention was 'Arsenal Bird' and it was sent by Emo.

"Arsenal Bird…" I unconsciously whisper to myself. Flying monsters that sour through the sky and one of the biggest clog for humanity's progress. A single one of these flying bird have completely halt the advancement of an entire army and there's 4 known that is spread throughout the world. One guards over Middle America and halt the Eagle Union advance. Another one patrol across the Mediterranean, locking humanity out of Africa. One circles over Middle Africa and another one circles around a patch of the Amazon Rain Forest. No one knows why there are 2 Arsenal Birds that seemingly doing nothing while the other 2 are fucking humanity over. There's a lot of speculation but those remain just that, speculation as humanity is unable to confirm them and can only observe through satellites.

There's used to be 5 of those but a couple of years ago, a pilot managed to downed one. It was Emo, he was the legendary pilot that somehow managed to shoot one of these monster down but it's not without its casualty. That particular Arsenal Bird guarded the South East Asia and halt the advancement of both the Dragon Empery and Sakura Empire so you know the amount of manpower that was there at that time wasn't small. The Arsenal Bird managed to approach the coalition army unnoticed using it's cloaking ability and catch the army by surprise. A hellish battle for survival commenced and in the middle of that, Emo managed to do the unthinkable, shoot an Arsenal Bird down but it didn't go down silently. It crashed and slide on the ground, wiping almost 40% of the army in the first impact before exploding and taking another 45% with it, making it a 95% kill percentage. Is it a win or a defeat? Who knows but Emo still can't forgive himself for that massacre even when people hail him as a hero.

The Arsenal Bird is big. If you look it from above or below, it shapes like a half point of between a crescent moon and a half moon. If you look it from the side, it looks like a droplet with the tail as… well, the droplet tail. I have said that it's big and it's not a hyperbole. It's a mix between a B2 Spirit Bomber and A Zeppelin. Its size reminds you of a Zeppelin from how big it is but its weaponry reminds you of a B2 even when it's so much more advanced and powerful. It's so big that it has its own multiple SAM sites, CIWSs, multiple bombing bays, SSM sites, Laser weaponry and hangars. Yes, you heard me right, hangars. You know shit is amazing when a system that can shoot laser beam is not its greatest features.

These hangars are located on its belly and looks like an inlet where drones can 'tuck in'. These drones aren't as big or powerful as the one that are used by their Air force and Navy but still, a flying aircraft carrier is fucking rad! I know I shouldn't be excited by the enemy weaponry but still! COME ON! It's an aircraft carrier that can drop bombs, shoot laser beam, and FLY!

Back to the topic, if Emo is saying something about the Arsenal Bird then that mean the UN is preparing to take down another one. I don't know if Emo will participate in it though. After taking down an Arsenal Bird and massacring an entire army, Emo was relocated to the EU main land and was 'grounded'. He was prohibited to fight and instead 'promoted' to become a flying instructor, training his own team. The UN probably saw the potential inside of him and would rather him teaching those knowledge and experiences to a lot more people than losing him on a battle somewhere. Not gonna lie, I kinda see their point but Emo wasn't exactly happy with the arrangement as he see it as an obstacle that prevent him to make up for his sin. Don't worry buddy, I understand you now that I got the same kind of forceful 'promotion'.

I was about to open my phone to read the chat but Littorio came up to my desk and surprise me. "And for you, my signore." She places one of the bouquet in front of me which take me by complete surprise. I have never received anything this grandiose but I guess this is my welcoming gift from her. I don't know what to do with it. "I hope you would consider my intention." She said to me in a soft voice and a wink.

"Ah… thank you." SSSHHIIITTT! I wasn't paying attention! What was the message that she tried to convey here?! I don't know flower language! I've never talk with flowers before! How do I respond?! "Ah… I'll… uhh… try…" I glance to my side and notice that Stella was glancing at me furiously. She also has a bouquet of flower in front of her which consist mostly of yellow flowers. Oh shit! Is she trying to take Stella away from me?! You give flower to someone that you like right?! I see now. She wants my permission to take Stella huh? Well… I can't exactly say that I am not jealous or angry at all but I can't hold Stella on myself now, can I? My real girlfriend is Mia after all and if Stella wants to move on from me and be truthful to her subordinate then who am I to say 'no' to her? "Uh… sure." I just hope that she is happier with Littorio if she decides to go that way.

"Grazie, my signore." Her voice shakes my heart. Ah… Stella definitely would be happier with her. With a sense of defeat, I take the bouquet in front of me and tuck in toward me. It's was mostly consisted of red flowers, like red tulips, orange lilies, and dark red carnation. Is this how you say 'You should break up with your girlfriend because I'm better' or 'You better broke up to her or you'll get bloody like this flowers'? "What's with the long face, my signore? Don't worry, I'm better." Okay, you don't have to rub it on my face like that, you fucking asshole! If you want her, just take her and fucking leave me alone! Don't be a fucking asshole like that! What?! You want to make me your enemy?! Your narcissism is going to be the downfall of you, Littorio! Fine! Let's have a duel! Whoever win Stella's heart is the winner! I don't care if I'm going to get beat up for it! I'll stand my ground! Before I could refute, Littorio swipe my bangs and fixes my hair. Eh? She swiftly grabs my right hand and kiss the back of it. "I shall treat you better than signora Stella." Ah… she is aiming for me.

"Littorio!" Stella angrily screech and throw the bouquet of yellow flower back to Littorio's face. "You think you're better than me, his girlfriend?!" Littorio smugly grabs the bouquet in midair and place it on my desk. Oh look, another gift. "I've been with him for years so what's make you think that you are better for him?!" The scent of the flower bouquet is nice though. I wonder if it's the flower's real scent or did Littorio sprays some perfume on it.

"Ahahaha… if you, signora Stella, can do it then so can I." Littorio brings her face closer to mine and make me sorta retreat for a bit. Please don't kiss me. Please don't kiss me. Please don't kiss me! "We both are the most brilliance lights in this dark world so it's natural for us to be rival." Littorio's hand gently scoop a patch of my hair and she takes a sniff of it. "Exquisite." Littorio's face keep creeping closer and closer to my body and eventually, her face land on my hair. I can feel her breaths as her faces slowly drift downward until her hot, wet, and heavy breaths sweep over my ear lobe.

"Hhyyaah!" I pull my face away from hers in surprise. Shit! She just attacked my weakspot!

"Ahahaha… what a delightful noise. Perfect for my prey…" Littorio's smug only grow even more as she looks down on me. This woman… "It's all your fault, signora Stella." Littorio pull back her body from my personal space. "It's a rival job to try to gain everything her rival have and will ever achieve. Your military prowess, tactical mind, and charisma are amongst the other things that I can copy but," Littorio's powerful eyes once again land on me which cause shivers to run down my spine. "There's only one signore Igo and I can't stand that there is something that you have that I don't." Or you know, find another guy who has the same name as me? I bet there are plenty of Igo around the world.

"Don't be stupid! Igo is mine and mine alone!" Said that same words to Mia, would you? Stella moves in closer to me and hug my head. "The only time I'll let any of you have him is after my death." I won't say that if I were you. My eyes scan through the room and notice that Sheffy has summoned her guns. 'DON'T!' is the signal that I send to her through my eyes and thankfully, Sheffy notices me and her guns disappear, slowly. I gotta keep my eyes on that maid.

"Well, the one who shall decide that won't be you, signora. It will be Igo himself." Littorio grabs my right hand again and place her lips on the back of my fingers. She let her lips rest on my fingers until I can feel her lipstick on my skin. "Even if there's a ring on this finger, I shall not back down and conquer you for myself."

"Uuhh…" How do I respond to this? A good respond would be a thanks and move on but I doubt she'll be happy with that but I don't exactly have any other valid answer. "Thank you, Littorio." I said to her as I try to pry my hand off her grasp but it won't move. She is really grasping me hard here. "Littorio," "Please called me 'darling', my signore." "Da—Darling, please return to your sister, the meeting is about to start."

"That's right! Shoo! Vittorio! Get your sister away from MY Igo!" Stella screech at the Sardegna Empire Eternal Flagship which is also Littorio's sister. No, I didn't come up with that tittle, she said it to me when she introduced herself. Sardegnian really have a lot of pride on themselves, huh?

"Sigh… Duca, if you may." The woman with long shiny wavy white hair massages her own temple before telling one of her fellow sardegnian to grab Littorio. Normally, her grey eyes would emit some amount of narcissism even though it isn't on Littorio's level. On her waist is a rapier with an exquisite craftsmanship unlike her sister who carries a gilded sword that almost looks raw except for the handle. She wears a black cape with red inside and it's only attached to her left shoulders unlike her sister who wears a black cape with green inside which she attaches to both of her shoulders. "I apologize for the inconvenience, commander Stella." If you want a solid image of her hair, it's looks like SSJ 5 Goku's hair just not as stiff and not as much as Goku. She still has some hair to cover her forehead.

"Yes…" The girl with light brown bob hair walk up to Littorio and pinch her ear. "Come now. You're embarrassing the eternal flagship." Duca's face almost remind me of Sheffy from how stoic it is. She rarely ever expresses her emotion through her face's muscle but more through her tone. You can also sometimes read what her mood through her solid red eyes. She carries a walking cane that has a big shiny expensive-looking red jewel on top of it. I want to steal it! "I'm sorry commander Stella and commander Igo."

"Ahaha… don't worry. We're just playing around." I jokingly wave my hand to dissipate the atmosphere around me and I push Stella away until she sits down on her seat. "Thank you for the gifts, Littorio." I said as I take both of the bouquets and hide them under the table.

"Anything for you, my signore." She would make a huge cool impression in my mind if only her ear wasn't being pinch and dragged by Duca right now. Now that has been taken care of, let's focus back on to the meeting room.

"Oh my~~ oh my~~ It's so lively in here." The next contenders have arrived. They were from the Dragon Empery. "Good morning, commander Stella and commander Igo." The soft kind voice was accompanied by a kind looking big sister. She has a long straight black hair and caring reddish orange eyes. She wears a sexy white Dragon Empery dress, 2 words that I don't even know can be combined until I met this woman. The dress end just below her critical part while also revealing most of her thighs which cause a question to appear in my head, 'Is she wearing a panty or not?'. There's also the fact that the dress is suffocating her skin that I can see her belly button clearly, I guess that's why she has a boob window so that her breasts can breath.

"Good morning, Yat Sen." The overly kind big sister character has arrived! Now give me a hug! "Good morning, Ping Hai and Ning Hai."

"MMMPMMHH!" "Ping Hai! Stop eating when someone is talking to you!" Aaaww… the twins are accompanying their big sister. That's adorable.

Ping Hai is the younger twin. She has a brown short hair that was accompany by a long thin brown twin tail and a very innocent face even with her dark red eyes. She wears a red dragon empery dress with the same boob window, even though it's useless because she doesn't have any, just like Yat Sen but unlike Yat Sen, her dress continues downward until it covers her knee. I don't know why but she only wears one thigh high stocking on her left leg.

Ning Hai is the older twin. She has a black short hair with a twin tail but instead of having a long one like her twin, she put the end of it back to the beginning so it's looks like she has two circle next to her face. To contrast her innocent sister, Ning Hai has a more serious and diligent looking face with her purple eyes. As if it's a tradition, she wears a purple dragon empery dress with a larger boob window than her twin but thankfully, it's not useless this time as she has something to show unlike Ping Hai. Oh look at that, there's the other half of the thigh high stocking.

"Ping Hai, how many buns have you eaten today?" I said to the little one and she answer using her fingers. She has eaten 2 today, huh? "Do you want some more?" She immediately nods her face furiously.

"NO!" Her twin immediately butts in our conversation. "Commander Igo! Don't spoil her!" Aaaww… come on now. Stella did it too so why can't I?

"Now, now you two." The 'big' big sister finally step in and calm both of her sisters. "Let's not make a ruckus in front of the others, okay?" Man… I want to have her as my big sister now. Yat Sen sit on her chair while both of her sisters stands by her side. Ping Hai was still eating the meatbun by the way.

"Good morning everyone!" Whoah! What a cheerful tone! "The little witch idol, Saratoga~~ Has arrived~~~" Well, she is right with the idol and little part. Saratoga is indeed small both in height and size and she is also a famous idol around the base. I don't know about the witch part though unless being a prankster count as being a witch then yeah, she is a witch. Just like I said, Saratoga is a small girl with cute pink short hair and a cheerful attitude. Gotta admit, she is cute though.

"Oh my~~ Oh my~~ Saratoga, please don't run in the hall." Another big sister has come! Now, let's see who is the superior big sister! "Good morning everyone, big sister Lexington is here." Saratoga's big sister, Lexington has arrived. She wears the same clothes as Saratoga but with one major different, she is a lot more mature. Big boobs, tall, thick thighs, and long pink hair. I wonder whatever they're wearing the same size because Lexington's cloth is tight.

"Have both of you ever consider joining the running club? I can't even catch up to you." Another girl has come and this time, it's a tomboy. Short black hair, confident face, blue jacket with her name on it and a fit body. Baltimore's reputation of being the ace of sports wasn't just a hoax. Although she just admitted that Lexington and Saratoga just outrun her. "Good morning everyone."

"Hey Baltimore. Did you just got beat by a small child and a big sister who is weighted down by two big mountains?" "Commander Igo! How rude!" "Is that how you see me?~~" The little witch idol pouts while the big boob sister tilt her head. Why are they still surprise? Haven't they get used to me now? "Maybe you need some more training."

"Ahahahaha… yeah… I don't know how did I lose though." The tomboy scratches the back of her head and walk into the room. Saratoga sit up on Eagle Union's seat which mean she is the representative. Huh? They pick such a small girl for such a big job but then again, a prankster like her would need to be smart which also perfect for a leader. "Maybe I do need some more training after all."

"Want me to help you with that? I can be your personal trainer or coach."

"Sure!" Never have someone answer my question so fast like that. "That would be great!" I was teasing her at first but now… I can't exactly pull out of it. Sigh… I guess I'm going to be her personal trainer for sometimes.

"You weren't expecting her to answer huh?" Stella whisper to me. Damn, she knew me so well. "I was about to help you but I'm going to let things play out. Just to give you a lesson." Give me a lesson?! You realize if I become her personal trainer, I wouldn't have time to do my admiral's job?! "Alright, I guess it's just Northern Parliament left."

"In which we have arrive, comrade commanders." A gorgeous lady with a bright blue long hair walks into the room. Most of her clothes consist mostly of the color white which is the complete opposite of the Iron Blood's fashion and her dress also has an opening on the lower side like a Dragon Empery dress that show me a generous look at her ample left leg. "Good morning everyone." I know the Northern Parliament live in a cold country but is the whole big fluffy warm white cape really necessary? You guys are living on an island in the middle of the ocean? I know the Northern Parliament's island have a dome where they simulated cold weather but you're now not in that dome. You would be cooked alive if you still insist on wearing that.

"Good morning, Belorussiya. Why are you late? It's very not like you."

"I am sorry comrade Stella but the one who was supposed to attend this meeting was Rossiya but—" "Something fall apart or she forget where she keeps the screw to her rigging, right?" "Yeah…" I rarely see Rossiya but from the very few occasions that I get to talk to her, she seems to be a reliable girl. Can't believe she is actually a klutz. "Nevertheless, I'm here as the representative of the Northern Parliament. We're sorry for the trouble." Belorussiya's blue eyes light up again.

"Wait! I thought Cleveland already give you girls a metal detector! Why are you still having a hard time finding a screw?" Saratoga speak out. A metal detector? For a screw?! That's an over the top way of finding one.

"Yes and we thank you for that but…" But…? Belorussiya let out a tired sigh as she sits down on her seat and continue her sentence. "the amount of screws, coins, and metal bits found in Rossiya's room was… enormous." How enormous? Is it as big as your boobs? "In the end, we have to sieve through the pile of metal parts and the next thing we know, it has become a mess again."

"Ahahaha… that's our beloved Rossiya." Another girl with a lighter shade of blue for a hair commented. Out of the 3 Northern Parliament girls here, she wears the lightest amount of clothing, a white miniskirt and a white long-sleeved shirt with big boob window.

"Chapayev, I thought I told you to keep an eye on her."

"But she is so cute when she is panicking though." This woman is a sadist. "Isn't that right, Tashkent?"

"Mmm…" The cute long purple haired little girl cutely nods her head. She wears the heaviest amount of clothings, a very fluffy-warm looking white fur jacket and underneath that jacket is a yellowish brown sweater. I'm surprise she isn't cooked on the way here considering its summer out there. "Comrade Igo, please don't stare at me like that."

"No, I'm just wondering how are you not cooked yet wearing that clothes in the summer."

"The car was cold." How powerful is that AC? Did they make it -30 degrees Celsius or something? I bet I would get frost bite if I were there and die. "but you're looking at me not because you're concern about me right?" Hmm? Where did that come from? "You're a pervert so it's more likely that you're stripping me down in your imagination." Several girls silently nod their heads in unison. Okay! What kind of rumors has been going around about me!?

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Grow a pair like Lexington or Belorussiya and then we start talking. Before that, don't even consider me being tempted." I proudly said with a loud voice and in response, a wave of disappointed sighs echoes through the room. "Why are you girls getting angry at me?! The little girl over there start it first!" "My name is Tashkent!" "Shut it, washing board!"

"What's wrong with being flat, huh?!" Oh good, now the queen of all washboard is getting on board with this. "Being flat is a symbol of status!" The queen has been sniffing on those premium grade copium. "A flat chest is as good as big one!" I never said it wasn't! I just said that little girl over there was picking a fight with me!

"And how do you know?" "Guh!" Strike! I just attack her where it hurts! "If you want to prove that believe of yours, then I shall—" "… Sigh… good grief… *GRIP*" "AAAAAHH! SHEFFY STOP!" Out of nowhere, my beloved petite maid come and grip my face. She then proceeds to tighten her grips and start crushing my face. *Crack* *Crack* *Crack* "SORRY! SORRY! PLEASE STOP! I'M GONNA DIE!"

"Since everyone is here," "AAAAGGHH!" "and everyone is healthy," "HELP!" "let us start the meeting." "NOOO!"

"SOMETHING IS BREAKING!"

"Let me rest for just a couple more minutes."

Sounds like problem is brewing and it's my cue to run away!

"I'll give you permission to torture her with paperwork."

"You said that I need to clean my fingers right?"

"…so you're okay with anyone as long as she has a small breast, huh?"
