The morning appeared to be a gray one as clouds cover the majority of the sky. The man stared at it silently from the window while changing clothes in his room, he still feels defeated but he tried to rationalized all of what happened in the last days, he couldn't sleep much because of this. His will was almost gone, but still imagine that this was the way things will be from now on.
-Hey there… I thought I gave you a schedule… you are not free at this hour so get moving- a voice came from the other side of the door.
-But this is part of what I´m supposed to do as secretary…- A second voice replied, as she did the last days, she started to feel way better and was quality time with her Admiral.
-Not anymore so… get moving. Now- The first voice answer changing her tone, a bit loud and bad-mannered, but still tried to not shout.
After that the man heard footsteps that left the building.
A gentle knock came from the door afterwards.
-Wakey Wakey Admiral!- Kashima´s voice came with a joyful tone and she started to knock on the door again yet this time following a tune, perhaps a song she heard before.
The man immediately felt disgusted by how she treats her secretary, but as he discovered the day before, he was also at her disposal and it wasn't a very pleasant feeling.
-Good morning Kashima- he opened the door revealing that his new "supervisor" was waiting outside as if nothing happened before, but he was pretty sure she already knew that he was awake and did it on purpose.
-Oh Admiral, I gave you the chance to wake up this late because you looked sooo tired yesterday, but just for today, hehehe ~- she said and smiled again, she brought with her the schedule again and mark some of that day´s activities.
-Thank you, I will do a good job today- he answers even if he didn't mean it. He came to realize that the only way to keep on with his life as an Admiral will be to follow her rules and try to smile once in a while as if he was enjoying her stay, at least until she leaves the base, him and all the ship girls alone.
-That was a nice reply Admiral, I will give you a treat later if you really mean it, ufufu~- she smiled as she realized he was not going to fight her back and if it continued like that then she will be able to do other things herself, knowing that the man will not try to defy her again–But first Admiral, it's now 0900.Shall we begin the practices for today? Have you confirmed the status of the expedition before?- she started with her usual introduction to the basic report, as she send expeditions, the resources should be accounted for and put some ships in training.
-I think we can check upon the schedule in the office- he answers, it appears that he got not much to choose now, so it seems that this day will be another day of paperwork.
-That´s true! Hehehe~- Kashima laugh a bit and both started to walk to the main building. As they walked near the factory a lot of activity could be heard on and also on the cafeteria, as they ate something light.
-Admiral the base will receive a pair of ships for training, I know it's quite rushed but believe me, the navy has no time to waste- She tell the man as he was finishing his breakfast, she took off a note from her schedule and realize that it was that day, she already knew the names of some ships that will be transferred to the base.
-When will they arrive? - the man initially thought that the navy would wait until the base was done with the changes and all the training areas to be complete, but it appears that they really want to start as fast as they can.
-Exactly… in fifteen minutes- Kashima check out her small wrist clock –I think it´s enough time for you to receive them, in the meantime I´ll get things ready here- Kashima state and stand up, the man followed.
-Yes I will receive them, will they do something today? - he was used to do that by now, he also was receiving orders but it didn't matter to him anymore, the faster he can get rid of her the better.
-Now that you ask, yes- Kashima was happy with that question as she thought of a good idea –But first can you stay with them and then I will then test them with a few things- she asked him, as she needed to do something else before, in the meantime she was sure he can take care of them.
-Fine I will- he accept gladly, this will be his new and possibly only plan to deal with Kashima, as he got no real power anymore.
The man went to the port then, to the same place where the Shiratsuyu ships arrive, and then he waits. At first he could not see anyone approaching but slowly a pair of figures appeared at the distance, however they came slower than any other girl before.
-Hello girls, welcome to the base- the man greet them, he wasn't sure what to think, two small child-like ships appeared and the man couldn't believe how little threatening both actually look. These pair are just girls with a sailor uniform, even with their outfits they were not really something to fear, instead they just look kind of cute.
-Commander good day, I'm Akatsuki! Treat me like the fully-fledged lady that I am!- The first of the two salute the man and present herself, she was using a simple sailor-like uniform, got a black hat with a distinctive symbol on it.
-I'm Hibiki. I'm also referred to as "The Phoenix" from my exploits- The second showed less expression in her voice, but somehow she seems to be pleased with the man in front of him.
Both look like innocent children really, it was amazing how such young girls got the inner power to fight the abyssal army, but he imagined then that both are quite weak, if they were sent here.
-Here we are Commander! S-show us how to fight please!- Akatsuki salute the man with respect and a bit of shame, as she didn't really experience any battle or even shoot any of her equipment before.
-Please show us- Hibiki also raise her hand, she didn't stay in water a lot, actually the contrary, as before they were most of the time in the ground, doing other stuff or just playing around the base.
-I´m pretty sure you will learn how to battle properly, but first can you sail a little faster around the port, don't go too far, I want to know something- he immediately realized something weird about the way both girls stand above the water so he wanted to know if they were complete beginners.
-Eh! I-I mean y-yes sir! - Akatsuki quickly answer and started to go travel faster around the port, Hibiki was behind her but as they move both were not able to maintain balance at those speeds and kept moving in zigzag, instead of a simple line.
The admiral realized that after watching her fleet training before, a simple way to know how experienced a fleet girl is, it's only needed to watch how it moves in the water. After a few laps they also started to look tired.
-You are testing them now? - Kashima talked to the man from a few meters away, she saw their moves and already know how unexperienced they were –Good Idea-She was also wearing her outfit and after smiling again to the man, jumped into the water and moved pretty fast to meet them.
-Hello girls! Your teacher has arrived! - Kashima presents herself and both Akatsuki and Hibiki stopped their movement, but the black haired girl was not good enough to reduce her speed, so she stumbled and fell into the water.
-I-I´m not concerned- she said fast after her sister helped stand up. She was all red in shame as it was really the first time that she moved that fast, however she tried to keep her elephant appearance instead of crying as the fall really hurt.
-You are so cute!- Kashima rapidly traveled to her side and pat her head to comfort her after that crash, Hibiki did the same. Akatsuki felt really ashamed but the pats somehow helped her to recover.
-Here I will teach you all about basics formation, also how you will fight in the fronts, but of course first you need to properly move in the water. I heard you were left on ground for some time, am I right? - both girls only replied by affirming with their head. Kashima the proceed to imagine a simple route around the port so the man can watch them easily.
-Yes, our last admiral said he wanted us to learn to behave as ladies before sending us to the sea- Akatsuki explained why she was such a novice, she and her sisters were convinced that they needed to be more ladylike before traveling into the sea. Such a simple thing let her remain at bay mostly.
-We did so little- Hibiki didn't really mind then, somehow she preferred to remain with her sister instead of fighting, as if she didn't want to lose the chance to remain with her again.
-I see, then I will show you all about being a lady as well, heheh~- She smiled again and started to do her beloved job -But first follow my lead alright- as she moved in the water, slowly gaining speed, she traced a perfect line, while both Akatsuki and Hibiki had a hard time to keep up with her.
-Ufu, you need to maintain some balance on your waist- she moved her hips left to right in a circular way, all while balancing her entire outfit and swinging her short skirt. She turned to look at the admiral and wave her hand at him.
The man just made a thumbs up gesture to show his approval, she was doing really good, in fact it was like looking at someone that teach another how to ride a bicycle for the first time, she took her time and only smiled as the girls fall over or went the other way entirely. As the man watched that, he realizes that Kashima may be a terrible person, but was an amazing teacher, he felt like learning a lot just by watching her.
This class continued for a pair of hours.
After that first introduction class, all three girls came back to the shore and into the factory to leave their outfit to be updated by Akashi, then all return to where the Admiral was.
-Commander! How did we do? Am I a lady prepared for combat? – Akatsuki was excited to prove that she was capable of doing her best, even if it was her first time at sea and most of what she did in class was just to fall into the water over and over.
-You need improvement but I´m sure you will be great fighters pretty soon- saying that hurt a little as he knew those girls will leave eventually and he will not be able to watch them fight.
-Of course they need, that´s why this place will help them improve- Kashima stated as a truth, this was basically the idea of every girl that will came here, all will train until they have enough experience and then will retransfer to the front or to any base required by the coalition –But today´s training is not over yet. Admiral I left some uniforms for both trainees in your office, can you help them? - she said and smiled at them –After you are ready you can rest for a while if you want and then meet me at the cafeteria, I have a surprise for you all, hehehe~- she giggle and turned around to prepare for the next step in her schedule.
-I will, don't worry about it- those were the last words the man said before showing the base to both girls. To them it was a much bigger place than her last base, they both came from a western base that was used as one of the different guard points, a base that was made to contain the abyssal in that area and to push them back if any appear, however it was a peaceful base were not much ever happened and mostly was on patrol in case of any weird event.
After they reach the main building, again, Akashi´s shop was closed as she was busy with her new schedule and of course the communication room was also empty, as all the fairies were helping Ooyodo with her chores too. So they were the only ones left in the building, as the rest of the fleet left on expedition, a risky move, but Kashima was pretty sure nothing will happen those days and their missions are not very far.
Both girls went ahead and checked upon the office, they liked it immediately, they were amused with their sudden transfer. The man went in the room and close the door behind him, realizing much to his surprise that Akatsuki and Hibiki were on the sofa, slowly taking off their clothes.
-Are you going to change here? - The man asked quickly and thought of leaving to give them some privacy yet for some reason he didn't move from his place. As both are wearing similar uniforms, they started to unknot their uniform´s red handkerchief. Both started to remove their clothes, Akatsuki started to slowly pull off her pantyhose as the water from the sea tends to stiffen them against her nymph thighs.
-S-sure Commander, a lady can change clothes anytime needed- Akatsuki tried to reply in a careful yet rich manner, she was clearly blushed as this was the first time they change at this office, of course she was nervous but didn't mind him watching, as she imagined he was a good man that will take care of them.
-Commander, will you change too?- Hibiki started to unzip her skirt partially revealing her white underwear all while staring directly at him expectantly.
-Wait, why are you changing so fast, while I´m still here- The man´s blood started to boil pretty fast and his mind started to fly to some dangerous places.
-What's wrong? Our last admiral insisted to stay when we changed clothes. He bought us all kinds of pretty dresses to wear. Will you buy us new clothes too?- Akatsuki commented with her childish innocence as she didn't understood the true intentions behind the act. Her last boss was an old man, one of the few remaining officers with some history in the navy beyond the ones in charge of the main headquarters, but that is all the good one can tell about him. He used to be a lazy officer and a perverted man with a weird fetish.
-Don't worry Commander, change too- Hibiki removed her skirt now, also took her hat off and pulled off her sleeved uniform revealing that she got no bra underneath. As her late Admiral was a man that liked mostly to watch and was turned on by little girl's clothes, he got a lot of relieve out of his body just by using both girls used dresses. Because of this misbehaving of young ship girls he was taken to court martial, but as he didn't touch too much of any of the small girls in his fleet, it took him a while to be discovered, as all the child-like ships thought it was a normal behavior to let their Admiral "borrow" their clothes as he would buy them new ones quite often, it was this fact that raised the alarms and got him locked up. Up to this day there were some officers and staff members that complained about his dismiss from the navy, as they didn't mind their attitude towards ship girls, at the very end most of them only imagine them as tools, and whichever use their current officer give them is up to them to decide.
The commander in charge of the new training base got a well-known pulsating feeling inside his pants. Right at that time, a lot of thoughts passes in mind at great speed.
As the seconds started to feel like hours, the man started to enter a trance-like state where he was recording this image inside his memory with outmost detail. At that moment his mind started to focus only on one thing and one thing alone, so it started to find just the perfect excuse to act.
"Is it really worth it to remain an officer?… I mean is not all that well paid and I can die any day if an enemy attacks…"
"Yes, and above that I will not be in charge anymore, that Kashima girl can look after the base… Yes, yes, I would not mind if she takes my place after this…"
"…I don't mind how they look now, I´m pretty sure they can endure it and will continue to follow my command if I convince them that is an order"
"Yes I´m pretty sure it will fit in once both are…"
-Commander, if you gaze so intently at me, I... I...! - Akatsuki took off her sleeved uniform revealing her black underwear, but started to feel strange by the direct stare from the man, she was used to be look upon but somehow she felt unease by his gaze intensity and the weird grin he got.
-Eh?- her sudden words awoke him from this state and returned him to reality –Yes Akatsuki, now I am- he could not believe he stayed there while imagining all of that and could not do anything but question his own sanity, as the number of beautiful girl grows and he remained the only man in the island, his own mental prowess will clearly diminish.
One simple man cannot remain a stoic hero in such circumstances.
-Commander, where are our new uniforms? - Hibiki stated blushing a bit as she could still sense his gaze all over her body and started to feel strange too.
-Ah yes… I'm pretty sure they are somewhere around here- he started to walk slowly towards them, he could no longer resist the urge, as both girls were like two gorgeous love dolls, with porcelain skin and soft bodies, that he can use to release all that grow-up frustration inside him.
What better chance than to take advantage of these little girls, all alone in his office with him, he is a young man with terrible thoughts right now.
With each step the admiral started to imagine how easy it would be to let his suppressed male instinct free and let loose of all his frustration in these small ship girls. It was such a perfect opportunity as they were almost naked and waiting inside this lonely building, it was as if life told him to enjoy this gift, he was sure no one will hear them scream as the other ship girls are away in expedition or busy doing their chores with the new schedule. He would first go for the innocent Akatsuki as she would be easy prey for him with their size and strength difference, and the silent Hibiki would follow his command if forced to so no one would bother them for some hours.
The Admiral was about to lose his mind because of all the stress he´s been having in the last days and wanted to commit a terrible crime just to ease his carnal needs.
It was then when he heard footsteps from the other side of the door and a voice singing, it was Kashima. As fast as he could humanly do, the admiral moved fast to the door right at the time she was about to open it and locked the door swiftly with an almost devilish perfect timing.
-Uh? The door is locked- Kashima stared at the door and wondered what happened –Admiral, are you there? - she tried to push the door to see if it was jammed but to no use.
-Ye-yes- He almost fell as if his heart stopped right there, all that adrenaline rushing his body almost leave him without voice.
-Good, I left you a uniform on your desk too. I'll be waiting at the Cafeteria in an hour or so- she talked fast, smiled again and went back to Mamiya, where she prepared the surprise.
The man slowly turns his face into his desk and then realized that the "uniforms" Kashima talked about were simple kitchen aprons… but then he imagined them both naked just wearing them.
-It appears there was a mistake, so use these on top of your regular uniforms- he said after feeling that his life almost left his body but slowly returned after watching the pair of temptations the devil sent him to test his resolve -If you are tired you can sleep there- those words appeared out of nowhere from his mouth, clearly he was affected by all of this.
-Um can you sit next to us? Our last admiral used to stay with us when we rested- Both girls sit down in the sofa and put on her clothes again, as they used to do, sleeping with pretty dresses, in reality many of those were revealing clothes and kinky costumes.
-Err… Very well I´m kind of tired too- His heart was pierced with those simple words; this must be some kind of hardcore test to show him how to behave in this kind of situation and not fall like many did in the past.
Both girls smiled and happily sit next to the man, Akatsuki at his left rest her head against his shoulder and Hibiki used his lap as a pillow, both girls slowly fall sleep as the training they got was exhausting and did not have much energy to remain awake, it was clear that they were quite naïve, spoiled, and all this time were treated like children.
It took him all the strength in his body to endure the torture of such stressful day, but somehow he focusses just in one spot in the ceiling and stare at it, while his mind imagined all types of terrible things and his body reacted naturally to those, he surpasses his own instincts and reaches an illuminated state… for an hour or so.
After the time passed, the man recovered his consciousness before it traveled to far off regions of space and return to his normal self, at both sides the destroyers were slept and slowly started to wake up. His body ached and felt painful as he remained in the same position all that time, so it took him a pair of minutes to stand up.
They all recovered and get ready, then went to Mamiya´s Cafeteria where the training supervisor was waiting with her big idea. Kashima was also wearing an apron and was with Mamiya talking about her plan and why it will work here and in other bases as well.
-Glad to see you here Admiral- Mamiya was happy as everyday was getting heavier to do this all by herself, she was most of the day in the kitchen preparing food and cleaning around.
-From now on there is a new kitchen rule, every ship girl will have its share of work helping with the dishes. Every week will change so everyone will have the chance to cook for all the base- she declared proudly -I´m sure this will help with the morale and discipline of everyone, plus we all will know each other better, so extra points for increasing affection, ufufu~- she was really excited with this idea as she have been thinking of it for a long time and she prepared for it accordingly -Everyone must know about cooking and how to manage rations, this way you all can be of help in any base if needed, isn't it great?- she explained why her idea was such a good one, even if the admiral thought of something similar before and was kind of implemented already, he would not reply to her anything bad, instead he smiled as if this was the best idea ever.
"Yeah great now everyone will have less free time but at least they will learn the secrets of Mamiya´s food so every girl will be a perfect candidate for marriage" he thought then, as all girls prepare for this new trial, Akatsuki and Hibiki were quite excited about it, just like kids that will play a new game.
As they start both Mamiya and the admiral stayed behind just watching how Kashima manages the kitchen, it was a nice thing for a change. As Kashima prepares the ingredients, the man can't help but to notice something different in Kashima left hand, but he didn't put much attention to it, as she started to clean the rice with some water. It appears she got quite experience in the kitchen even if she didn't look like it.
-Here, Akatsuki try this- she gave the bowl with rice to the black haired child and teach her how to properly clean it –Hibiki, here help me with this- Kashima now got the white haired child and showed her how to prepare the eggs in the small rectangle pan.
-Is this enough? - Akatsuki showed her messy rice, this was also the first time she did something like this, but was enjoying learning something new.
-Do it again please, as there are still plenty to clean, hehe~- her instructor didn't mind that the rice wasn't even well soaked, she knew that both will need time to learn but she was willing to teach all she can to both -Hibiki, be careful not to cut yourself- she caught the little girl moving around a large knife that was in the table.
-Sorry- she was only playing, to her cooking was something different from what she was used to, so everything looks interesting to her.
She skillfully takes some of the rice and started to shaping it in an elliptical shape, then delicately cut some dried algae to decorate it, use the fried egg to give it form and to encase it. And while it was done everyone noticed how she made a rice ball in the shape of a cute dog, after that she took some vegetables and also cute them in different shapes to decorate the rest of the dish… It was so nicely done that Mamiya herself was so amazed that took note on how she did it.
Extremely cute rice balls that you can't possibly eat without remorse, all prepared with fine cut vegetables, some in hearts or star shapes. This was the love-filled food everyone will taste; such a thing was a luxury few men would ever experience in their life.
Watching her taking care of those little girls and how much fun they seem to have, makes the Admiral think… "Maybe, just maybe, being in a training base will not be all that bad."
They all kept doing their respective job until they finished and the food was ready. Now that its finished all the other girls should be returning to the base. And just in time, everyone reached the base exhausted from a series of expeditions, as with Kashima´s schedule they should return and leave in time, at least twice a day.
The day continued as expected, everyone helped, eat, clean and then continue with their next chores in their respective schedule. It was hard for the ones that were not accustomed to follow a timetable, but if every day they would eat such dinner, it may be worth the time.
It was late that day, after they helped with the kitchen and leave, the man returned to his office to continue with his last activity, he was having difficulty to continue doing his job, as his mind was busy with lewd ideas. At that moment the now cooking teacher appeared from the door.
-I see you are keeping your good job- she saw him with that vacant gaze and thought that he was tired from being so busy again. She didn't mind and walked beside him -Here´s your reward- Kashima thanks the admiral, pat his head and kisses him in the cheek.
-…!- this sudden display awoke the man from his loose imagination and just watch her –Wha… I thought… - he was surprised by this as it was not the reaction he ever imagined from her –What does this mean?- he just say it out loud, as he can't understand this girl at all and perhaps was doing it to make him go crazy.
-Good things come to boys who wait… Oh, is that wrong?- she wink her eye and smiled sarcastically –Just keep it up!- she laughed and leave the office without saying anything else
-Damn I will not be able to retain my sanity like this- he saw her leave and felt his heart racing again. He got no more choice but to find a way to release all of this, he will not be able to hold on for longer and he will eventually make a bad decision and ruin his life, even if he take care of it by himself, he knew it would still not be enough, he needs something else, or in this case the help of someone else to achieve it.
He came with an idea and of course the only girls he can ask for such a favor was the pair of girls he knew the most. So he wrote in a piece of paper what he wanted, as he was kind of ashamed for it, and went straight ahead to the factory.
-Admiral what are you doing here this late?- Ooyodo was waiting for her friend outside of the entrance, it appears the man just reached it in time, before both return to their respective rooms.
-Sorry Admiral! We have been so busy we haven't seen each other much- Akashi smiled to see him even at this time, more because he took the time to seek them at this hour.
-Akashi, Ooyodo, I´m glad to see you both, can you do me a favor?- the man wave his hand quickly and go directly to the point.
-Of course Admiral, What is it?- Both girls were surprised with this sudden event, as the man have not ask them anything special since they met.
-I need something…- he give them a piece of paper with some words one in as he was still ashamed –I know its selfish, that you are busy and tired but I really will need you to help me with this- he wanted this so much as the stress in his body have been building up since he came to the island, also he was sure Kashima will probably laugh and misunderstand it if he asks her, even if it´s for his own health.
-Admiral I…- Ooyodo read those words and didn't imagine that he could ask such a thing, it was knew that the officers in the navy got different reputations and backgrounds.
-I guess I can help you with this but…- Akashi was amazed with the request -We will only be able to do this at night… you know since we all need to fulfill the daily schedule- he did saw the admiral and realize he was quite fit and got some muscles below the uniform, and couldn't help but wonder how he look without shirt, this of course make her blush.
-It´s alright- Ooyodo said firmly, she imagined doing something like that someday anyway, so she was interested in that idea and was willing to participate.
-Can we start today, my body really need it…- the Admiral was anxious to release all that energy and stress and was eager to start quickly, he imagine that he can endure at least an hour straight just to feel better.
-Tonight, but where? - Akashi felt the sudden rush was a bit too much, she was tired alright, and do this will leave her exhausted. She couldn't help but wonder where to go, the base was big and got plenty of space, just maybe adequate it a little and it may work.
-We can use an empty building nearby, most have space and few will notice- he answer thinking fast –Here we can use the large one around the next corner- he thought of one building he visit when looking around the base, it was a large place and got quite a few things inside, and because it was on the other side of the main road, few will notice they are inside the place.
-B-but we don't have… I mean we need to prepare first and ask for those things as supplies to HQ- Ooyodo immediately thought of the basic thing they need. Being at night doing such a thing can be dangerous and of course need to be safe as she doesn't want any accident to happen.
-I'm sure nothing bad will happen this time- he imagined a few things he can do, the next days he will ask for more supplies and be sure to include what he need. Ooyodo and Akashi accepted to help the Admiral with this night project, even if they were tired maybe the exercise will help them out, feel more relaxed, sleep more deeply and wake up feeling refreshed.
