"Keep gradually sending our mass produce ships to try to slow it's advance!" Stella screams into the comms as our entire force retreat as fast as we can. "Don't try to do anything stupid like going to fight it by yourself!" Does she have an experience with those kinds of people? Dumbass who rushes into fight without thinking?
The thing that we're running away from, the Arsenal bird, is hot on our tail. Not too close to directly attack us but close enough for everyone's comfort. When you can see it's silhouette on the horizon, it means that the Arsenal bird is too close. To make things worse, we discover that the white ginormous crescent moon-shaped aircraft on the horizon over there is being escort by a fleet 10 times larger and formidable than the one that was escorting the Orochi.
"Aoba! Inform everyone on the base to evacuate!" Eh?! Evacuate!? The entire base!? To where?! "Igo, I'm going to call the higher ups, you coordinate everyone." Stella immediately devise a strategy to retreat as soon as she saw the Arsenal Bird coming right for us. The strategy was to distract or cause the Arsenal Bird to slightly alter its course, not too much that it'll notice but enough to give extra second. The Arsenal Bird is a huge thing so a little turn to the left or right would need a solid 10 seconds to do and if we do that enough times, it could even buy us several hours but of course we need to sacrifice enough mass produce ship too.
"Ah, yes!" Stella throws me her table as she storms inside the command ship. Aoba also storms inside the command ship to use the stronger communication system there. I'm all alone on the deck of the ship the heaviest responsibility on my shoulders. "Uh... Hmm…" Shit! What do I do?! How many mass produce ships do I send each time?! When do I send the mass produce ships!?
"Commander Igo, what do we do?" Yes, that's a good question. What do we do?
"Hmm…" I look on the radar and see the actual situation. You might not be able to see the Arsenal Bird visually but the radar can and damn does it look fucking dreadful. "The Arsenal Bird are facing one o'clock so the next wave of mass produce ship must be sent to our six." I'm afraid of sending the ships on our seven because it might be too drastic of a turn that the Arsenal bird might ignore. Its target is us and it'll destroy anything in its path as long as it doesn't lose sight of us. Stella did test the parameter earlier and it seem that the window of distraction that we can use effectively is between five to seven o'clock. Pretty small if you ask me. "Send them… now!" And I see several green blips on the radar breaking off from our formation toward their impending doom. "Sigh… this is annoying."
What to do? What to do? What to do? It's so irritating when you're being chase by death and you have so very little option. Either death or slow it down that we have a chance to—whatever Stella is planning to do. If I don't do anything, we'll arrive at our own base's doorstep and that'll be hella bad!
"Comrade commander Igo," Hmm… Belorussiya? "Your command." Already?! Didn't we just send a fleet of mass produce a minute ago? Did I fucking fall asleep or something?!
"Uh… Oh… yeah… sorry…" I scrub my eye and look down on the tablet. Hmm? Wait! The mass produce ships that we sent earlier are still there so why is Belorussiya ask for my command? Did she perhaps get impatient and want to send another wave just in case? "The mass produce ships are still there so we should—"
"Comrade Igo," Eh? "I'm asking for your command." My… command… My command, huh… What would my command be...?
"Don't act tough. If you're tired then immediately hop onto the command ship or one of the hospital ships." I'm not a braindead moron that'll tell my entire fleet to march to certain death. I wouldn't be a leader of a troop if I can't assess the situation properly. "There's no island for us to maneuver against so our only option now is to keep moving at this pace."
"Come now comrade, all of us know that you were devising a plan or two. You're not that good at hiding your expression." Fuck you! You girls are just too good are reading my mind!
"Well good news to all of you is that I'm not the 'fuck-around-and-find-out' kind of commander." Well sometimes I'm but not when a lot of lives are on my hand and also dealing with an arsenal bird plus a large fleet of ships. "The only plan that doesn't involve us fucking around is the current one."
"But we couldn't just retreat like this, commander." KGV butts in. "We'll arrive at the base sooner and the evacuation isn't done yet." True. Stella did order Aoba to tell everyone at the base to evacuate just a moment ago and it's not like they can snap a finger and the preparation is complete. "It would be best for us to give everyone at the base some more time even if it's just a little bit."
"Uuuuuuggggghhhhhhhh…" I groan loudly at the comms. I know George, I know but I also need to think about everyone that is here! Like I said earlier, fucking around and find out has its place and now is definitely not the place. "You girls are annoying!" You girls are beautiful but your sense of risk is broken! I know that they're stronger than me by a fucking mile or five but that doesn't make it so that they have the right to be a moron! "Look, let's wait for Stella to come back before doing anything."
"Boo~~ Kommandant is a coward~~~" The high-class way of talking and the smug tone… This must be Elbe. "Can't you not do anything without Kommandant Stella?"
"I can but I rather not to considering that Stella is planning something with the higher ups right now." I wonder what's she planning? Whatever it is, she's taking her sweet ass time. "But then again, I can just shove the blame to Elbe, right?"
"Of course you can, kommandant." Thank you for the affirmation, Peter. "I shall help you."
"NO!" Several chuckles echo through the comms. I wonder how many people were about to talk when Elbe scream at the top of her lungs. "It's your command so you're the one to blame!"
"But you're the one that force me to do it, Elbe."
"BUT THE OTHERS DID IT TOO!" Yeah but you're the easiest to tease, Elbe.
"Ugh… can't you all stop screaming at the comms." Hmm… The woman of the hour is here. My girlfriend walks out to the dock while holding her head in her hand. "I almost lost an ear or two because of that." The woman looks super tired for some reason. You just enter the room like 5 minutes ago, why do you look like a grandma? "So what's the situation with the Arsenal Bird?"
"Uh… Well… It had just turn and now are hiding straight for us." I look down on the tablet and see the green blips that we sent earlier start disappearing. Surprisingly, they took 3 siren ships with them so good for us! "It's time for us to send another batch of bait."
"I'll do it." Eh? Stella swiftly takes the table away from my hand. Why? Did I do something wrong? Is she disappointed in me? Was she expecting me to do something when she was away? "No! No! NO! I'm not mad at you or anything!"
"Oh my~~ Is kommandant Stella angry at my darling for no reason?" Eugen's iconic voice speak out of the comms. "Can you not make things harder than it already is, kommandant Stella? We're getting chase by a flying apocalypse, you know?" That's the reason Eugen, she wants me to do something against the big flying apocalypse. I was being polite and waiting for her instruction but I guess she said that I need to take control and do something much more than just follow her command. Just like Enty said, Stella is a fan of ol' improvisation route and she probably expected me to do the same. "Now I have to go there and console my darling."
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING YOUR DALLING, BITCH!?" Stella said to not scream at the comms and now she is the one that is screaming through the comms. "Look Igo, I think you're misunderstood something." Misunderstood what? Your words and actions are clear to me, Stella. You're disappointed in me. "I'm so sorry for my wording and I'm not mad at you or anything." You're not?
"Yes she is."
"Fuck off, Belfast. You're not helping!" Stella screams again through the comms. "I should be telling you about the plan first before doing anything, huh…" Yeah about the plan? What is it? Didn't you just contact the higher ups earlier to talk about it? "We're evacuating to the Sakura Empire."
"EH?!" Nagato usually a very reserve little girl but this time, her voice was bursting out of my earpiece. "If I may be so rude but I would like for you to consider other options, commander." Understandable reaction from the Sakura Empire faction leader. I would also do that if Stella said that we'll be going to my family home with death on tow.
"Calm down, Nagato. I understand your concern but listen to me first." Stella tenders voice flow through the comms like a mother trying to calm her children. "I already talk with the Empress and the prime minister, Nagato. We'll only bring the Arsenal Bird near the Sakura Empire. They said that they have been developing a long-range ultra-endurance drone for quite some time and the arsenal bird is a good test subject." THEY'RE GOING TO FIGHT IT?! WHAT THE FUCK!? "They want to test whatever the drone can be used as a bait." Oh so that's what she meant…
"Did you tell them that there is a giant fleet escorting the arsenal bird?" I'm afraid that the drone would be destroyed before it even gets close to the Arsenal bird.
"Yes, don't worry. That's an important detail and there's no way I wouldn't tell them about it." Good. I'm afraid of that. "Now, we need to split this fleet into two group. One will distract the Arsenal Bird while the other will go to the base and help evacuate." I see. Stella will be the one that distract the Arsenal Bird while I—"Igo, I'll task you to take control and evacuate the base."
"Okay! Do you want me to immediately go to the Sakura Empire?"
"No, we'll meet up at Midway Atoll at six PM." 6 PM huh… Estimating how long it'll take for us to go to the Midway Atoll from the base and packing stuffs… It should be doable especially if we amped up the fleet's speed. "If I don't come to the Midway Atoll until 6 PM, you'll go to the Sakura Empire, immediately."
"That's a death flag you're waving there, dumbass."
"True, but I also want to try a thing or two against that thing so I might get too excited and forget the time." What are you a child? "I'll list the group that will help with the evacuation so listen closely, morons. Second and third single-focus aircraft carrier groups, third and fourth focus battleship groups; first, second, and third torpedo-focus teams; third AA-focus teams; first, second and fourth gun-focus teams; second and fourth support-focus teams; first and third tank-focus teams; all of the auxiliary ships, and all of the submarine groups except for the first and second."
"Did you purposely didn't choose the second tank-focus team because you don't want to leave the kommandant Igo with me, kommandant Stella?" You're thinking too much into it, Eugen. Stella is a mature woman who doesn't—
"Yes." Nevermind then. I guess I'm the only mature person here. "Aoba, I'll give you permission to princess carry Igo to the base." Can I not hop onto one of the mass-produced ships?
"Alright!" Without waiting for me to be ready or not, Aoba scoops me up from my feet and princess carry me. I can feel that this will be happening a lot pass this point of my live so let's call it prince carry instead. "Let's go, commander!" The journalist hops over the command ship's railing and summon her riggings halfway before we slammed onto the water.
"Please warn me before doing that…" I said to the girl as my arms instinctively hug around her neck. Alright Igo… take a deep breath in… hold it… and then let it out… let's calm down… You're not going to fall off and splatter to the ground into a puddle of ketchup. "I'm still new to the whole jumping off ship stuffs."
"Ah! Sorry! Sorry! It's my muscle memory!" Yeah… kinda get that feeling when Hood did this to me too. I guess I'm the one that should get used to this. "Let's go, commander!" And then she uses her fast-as-fuck paparazzi's speed straight toward the base.
.
.
.
"Bugh… Ugh… Uuuhhh…" My stomach… it's so mixed up… I don't feel so good… Ugh… I was on all four on the dock where Aoba touched down. This is the first time I've been sailing on a shipgirl's arms and gotta say, it's an experience. Might need some repeatance to get used to it.
"Get up commander. Don't you have to coordinate the evacuation?" Uh… Can you girls do that on your own for a moment, Montpelier? I need some time alone to please my upset stomach. "Sigh… what did big sis see inside of you?" I assume physical form? Unless you girls have some sort of X-ray vision that I don't know about. Par for the course I guess.
"I assume my handsome face."
"Big sis is more handsome than you." She is going to cry. She is going to outright cry if she heard her sister call her more handsome than a man. "You need to do a lot of work if you ever want to stand a chance against my big sis." Stop! I can hear her crying somewhere! You're going to kill her, Montpelier!
"Just because she is more handsome than me, doesn't exactly make me ugly right?" There can be 2 handsome men… a handsome man and a handsome woman existing in a single time, Montpelier. "You're just shy, don't you? You know that I'm handsome but you're shy that I'll tease you for it, right?"
"I wish I have your amount of confidence." It's easy actually. The less dangerous the woman, the more fun it is to tease. "Come on, you're wasting time."
"Ugh… but I need your help, Montpelier. My stomach is still not in the right place."
"Sigh… fine."
With Montpelier help, I manage to coordinate the shipgirls, the meowficers and the manjuus. Well, I hardly have to do anything other than telling them where to store stuffs and what stuffs do we need to carry up the ships. Combine that and the fact that the girls could carry like tons at a time make the evacuation efforts seems easier than it actually is.
"Commander, one of my mass-produced ships have been filled with food supply."
"Uh… thank you, Kashino." Kashino is a munition ship so filling her mass-produce version with food supply is impressive. That should be enough to feed everyone for some time. The water isn't a problem since all mass-produce ships are equipped with desalination station so all those weight on Kashino mass produce ship are nothing but food. "Most of them are MRE right?"
"Yep!" Good. As much as I want to carry fresh produce like vegetable and stuffs, Kashino-class aren't exactly equipped with a giant freezer to store them. They'll rot before we even reach the Sakura Empire. On the other hand, what are we going to do with the supply that we left here?
"Monty, do you have any suggestion regarding the food that we left here? They're definitely going to rot."
"Can't we just throw it out onto the sea for the fishes?" The brute force way, eh? Not that I hate it. We're going to go for a long time, I assume, so the electricity would electricity would need to be turn off and that also mean most of the food would rot. So it better to let the fishes eat them rather than letting them rot away. "Also, don't call me Monty when my big sis is near us." So I can do it as long as she is not here? Do you have any idea how much power you have given me, Monty? Do you know how much teasing I can do to you now? I can do so much teasing especially when Cleveland is near us.
"Alright, my lovely cutie beautiful Monty." Montpelier elbow my stomach but my body had gotten used to it that it did little to no damage. "Can I ask you to talk with Nyui Nyui about the food situation, darling Monty?" Another elbow to the stomach. Stop that or I'll brainwash you by raping you until you forget about your big sis! "If you elbow me again, I'll kiss you in front of Cleveland."
"Do it. Every threat coming from you is just an empty one!" Ohohohohohohoho! Is that so? I had just acquired another mission and I'm going to personally make sure that it gets accomplished. "I'm going now, weirdo." I was charging my arm to slap Monty's ass when she turned around but a wild hand come out of nowhere and stop me in my track.
"…find a new target, I see." Tch! Why do you have to get in my way, Sheffy?! I know you're jealous but wait for your return like a good maid would. "… I advise you to help me take care of the documents, pervert." How hard is it to ask me to some alone time, Sheffy? "…Don't think about doing something stupid, jerk." Stop reading my mind!
.
.
"Sheffy, just admit it. You just want some alone time with me, right?" There's practically no reason for me being here. Everything has been handled perfectly by the manjuus and the shipgirls. Also, didn't Stella ask the maid to digitalized the documents? I guess they're not done with it yet. "We can have some alone time after we're done evacuating, Sheffy."
"... your confidence is worthy of envy, fool." Sometimes you just have to do it Sheffy and not think about what others thought about it. "… if you don't like being with me then just leave me alone." I never said that! I just want you to be honest with me, pervert.
"Sigh… where did you even get that thought from, love~?" I approach Sheffy from her back and give her expose nape a light kiss. "You really think I don't want to be with you even after all that we've been through?" I'm not done turning you into a slave yet, Sheffy. There's some works that I need to do before you can reach your maximum potential as my sex slave.
"…Don't you have a child with miss Helena? … Don't you want to spend some time with both of them?" Oh so this is about that, huh… "… why don't you spend more time with your precious family, liar…" Well I guess they're my family. Should I use the word 'were' instead of 'are'? I promise to Helena that we'll act like husband and wife but that doesn't make us a legal husband and wife.
"Sigh… Sheffy, you know already know the truth behind Lena and Helena, right? I'm not exactly Helena's husband anymore." At the very least not until we get properly married again. Until then, I'm a free man. "I can't be Lena's father too considering that she has no biological connection with me." I can be her stepfather though but I need to do some legal stuffs for that. I don't have legal immunity or something like that, you know? "And even if I was Helena's husband, it won't stop me from caring about you, Sheffy." There's nothing wrong with caring about another woman when you already have a wife, right?
"…playboy." Damn straight! "… sigh… I should really get myself check… I'm unquestionably sick for falling in love with you." So you're going to a psychologist? Is there one in the base? "… sigh… so you want my honest answer, right?" I snuggle my face against Sheffy's hair as I move my face up and down. I love her smell so much. "… I just want to be with you." AAAAAAWWWWWW~~~! She is so fucking cute!
"I also want to be with you too, Sheffy!" I hug Sheffy's little body super tightly. I just want to princess carry her, slam her onto my bed, and fuck the living shit out her for an entire week.
"… I know it's selfish and now isn't the right time but," There's no need to apologize for it. Do you have any idea how much more selfish the other girls are? Belfast cucked her own master and Eugen forces me to drink before blackmailing me. At this point, you're the tamest considering that I also done some horrible things to you. "… I have always been doing some horrible selfish thing when I'm with you." Yeah, that's my bad influence on you Sheffy. "… sigh… go, I'll finish up over here."
"Don't be like that, darling. I don't like seeing you sad like this."
"… I'm not sad."
"Stop lying and I'll give you a reward after we managed to escape the Arsenal Bird."
"… that's a death flag, moron." I know. Stella said some earlier so I just want to raise some too. "… you already know the answer so why do I have to say it." I wish we weren't in an emergency state so that I could fuck Sheffy and force her to say the answer.
"Fufufufu~~ I know~~ *Smooch* I'll be handling some other things outside, okay? So meet me when you're done sulking."
"…I'm not sulking." Then what's these bubbling cheeks that I'm seeing on your face, cutie? I tease Sheffy by pushing Sheffy's bubbling cheek with my index finger. "…stwop!" Fufufu~~ She is so adorable!
.
.
.
"Everything is ready, commander." Arkhangelsk, a northern parliament shipgirl, reported to me as I was checking the checklist on my phone. "We could depart now if you want to." Arkhangelsk is woman with a bob cut light blue hair and yellow eyes and since she is a northern parliament girl, her uniform is mostly consisted of the color white.
"Have you triple checked everything?"
"Yes, just like you asked me to." Good. That mean our only objective now is to go to Midway Atoll and wait until 6 PM. "Commander Igo, if I may ask?"
"Hmm?"
"Why would the entirety of Azur Lane need to evacuate? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to bait the thing away from us?" That's a logical question.
"I believe that's what Stella is doing right now." She did say that she is going to try a few things so I assume luring the Arsenal bird away from us is one of them. "If I have to guess, she probably wants us to be ready just in case it didn't work."
"Yeah, that's just like her." Arkhangelsk said as she opens a flask of, what I can only assume, vodka. "Hmm? What's wrong, commander? Do you want my tea?" So that's tea, huh… sorry for holding you onto a stereotype, Arkhangelsk. "Oh! Were you expecting this to be filled with vodka? Ahahahahaha! Sorry to disappoint you, commander!" Why would she need to be sorry for? I'm the one who is supposed to apologize. "You see, before I become a northern parliament shipgirl, I was a royal navy one." Nevermind, I guess she is stereotypical, the royal navy kind that is.
"I never seen someone using flask to store tea before." Even the people form the Royal isles that I've met earlier in my life carry alcohol in those. If there are some people that do that, this is the first time I'm meeting them. "It's not your fault anyway, it's mine. Shouldn't judge others to quickly like that."
"Fufufu~~ There's no need to be so mad at yourself like that, comrade." Arkhangelsk come to me and put her arm over my shoulder. "Human's ability to judge something based on their look have save humanity for over billions of years so there's no need to be shy about the result of evolution." That is true, I guess… Human's ability to recognize pattern have always been credited to be one of the reasons as to why we're so successful as a species. "You're not being racist by thinking about someone in a horrible way, commander. It's by action and words." Eh? "You can think of me in the most horrible way possible but if you act and converse with me like I was just your average woman, I wouldn't feel offended, no?"
"That's true, I suppose."
"So don't be mad at yourself, commander. If it makes you feel any better, I also judged you when commander Stella told me about her plan to recruit you." Eeeehhh, that's normal. A man being recruited into an all-girl organization should be questioned. That man needs to be watch 24/7 if you have to. "At first I thought you're a womanizer that managed to seduce commander Stella to allow you to come here," I'm a slut if any of the girls' words have anything to go by so I guess I'm a womanizer. And how can I convince Stella to allow me to come here when I don't even know this organization exist before Elizabeth, the grandma, told me about it. "I'm glad that, at the very least, you're a reasonable person." Honestly… debatable.
"I understand what you mean, Arkhangelsk." As long as I don't act or say that I'm going to turn these girls into my sex slaves, nobody would have any chance of stopping me. Isn't that right?!
Seriously dude… you need some help…
No, I don't. Fuck you! Shut up!
"Fufu~~ How about we share this tea of mine as a memorandum of understanding?" Arkhangelsk lift her flask right in front of my face. I can smell the iconic smell of tea coming from her flask.
"Sure." I grab Arkhangelsk flask and take a gulp of the content. Yep, it's tea alright. I know that taste from anywhere.
"Fufufu~~ We just indirectly kiss, commander." I have fucked girls before, Arkhangelsk. An indirect kiss is nothing.
"Do you want me to give you a direct one?"
"Fufufu~~ Maybe after all of this is over, commander." Why do people keep rising death flag here and there? The world isn't going to explode, right? "So how about we start departing?"
"Yeah. Tell the first wave to start moving toward the Midway Atoll, the second wave will follow after ten minutes." The first wave of consist mostly of fast-moving vanguard ships. They would act like a scout just in case there are other siren fleets in our way. The second wave are the one that is tasked to destroy those scouted siren fleets. "The main group will follow ten minutes after the second wave while the back will go five minutes after the main one." Putting too much distance between our flank and its protector would just be a dumb move but putting too little distance would risk a collision of the mass-produce ships. People underestimated just how fast a ship could gain distance in a short amount of time so shipgirls whose top speed are superior to normal ships wouldn't have a lot of trouble closing in. Actually, they have more trouble keeping distance.
"Got it!" With this, my first part is done. Now to wait for Stella.
.
.
"This place doesn't look as bad I thought it would…" I commented as the sight of the islands come into view. I have seen what the siren are capable of so I was expecting the islands on Midway to be wrecked beyond recognition but no, it look pretty good.
*Thump*
"The siren might possess an incredible power but they're not stupid to use it on an empty island, commander." That's fair but leaving an island that can be use by humanity to build a base is also bad in my opinion. Without these islands, humanity would have a harder time to build a solid foundation to work on in the pacific sea so destroying these islands until it's unusable is pretty logical to me. "What shall we do, commander?"
*Thump*
"Stella told me to wait so as long as we're here, the objective has been completed." And it's not like she has any other instructions for me other than wait until 6 PM. "Waiting isn't fun and I doubt the little ones will be happy," Especially from how stressed out the current situation is. "so why don't you and the others take a little picnic on the island? It's going to be long journey from here and out so I want everyone to have their fun tank filled before we go."
*Thump*
"Are you sure, commander?"
*Thump*
"Morale is the most important resources, Arkhangelsk. It could turn the tide of war but the most crucial part is that you can't gain it easily." Not everyone is as nonchalant as I am. Just give me Sheffy and I'll be content for the entire trip. "We have stock up on materials resources, now time for the mind one."
*Thump*
"Fufufu~~ I get it. Well, I'll be going now, commander." Mmhhhmmm… now that's taken care of, I guess I need to address the other thing that have been going on for several times now. What is that thumping that I'm feeling?
Took you long enough to acknowledge it.
*Thump*
Kinda hard to when I have some more important thing to do, no? So why are you thumping?
*Thump*
That's not my doing. It's the wisdom cube's own will...
*Thump*
The hell? The fuck do you mean by that?
*Thump*
Or rather, whoever is resting here.
*Thump*
She is calling for you, Igo.
*Thump*
Can you hear her heartbeat?
*Thump*
She is begging for you to come to her embrace
*Thump*
Her heartbeat? I don't understand what you're saying! Who is she?!
*Thump*
You can find that out yourself, right?
*Thump*
Huh?! I brought up the tiny wisdom cube in my pocket and just like Cubey said, it's beating.
*Thump*
The wisdom cube brightens up with every thump before cooling down into a normal state. Just like a heartbeat huh… I can see that… but I still don't understand this.
*Thump*
'Her heartbeat'… Whose? Considering that this is a wisdom cube that we're talking here so it gotta be a shipgirl, right? But who?
*Thump*
"Hey Hammann~~ Why are carrying those flowers? Are those for the commander?" Hmm… Hammann? I look down from the ship to see an eagle union destroyer girl carrying a bunch of flowers in her arms. She is a young girl with long straight white hair and weirdly enough, a pair of cat ears. She is also wearing a maid outfit. Pick a side girl, do you want to be an eagle union, a sakura empire, or a royal navy ship?!
*Thump*
"Wh—what?! Why would Hammann give the stupid commander flowers?!" Ow, that hurts. Being called stupid by someone so cute is hurting my empty soul. "Hammann just want to give it to big sister Yorktown." Yorktown? Isn't that one of Enty's sister? I thought we haven't summoned her yet? Wait! Could it be…
*Thump*
The thumping is from her! She is here, isn't she?
*Thump*
Well, you have to summon her to find out.
*Thump*
Yeah, that might not be possible at the current moment. I've read the documents and the amount of power needed to summon a shipgirl is astonishingly big. Either we need to build a power plant or bring a giant battery here and I don't see a plausible way of doing either of those now.
*Thump*
Well, you're right about not being to summon the shipgirl now but not for that reason. It's more of you don't have the ingredients necessary to summon her.
*Thump*
Eh? The energy isn't a concern? Why?
*Thump*
I thought you knew what it takes for a wisdom cube to be created or grow. Or did that thick skull of yours forget about it already?
*Thump*
Oh… Wait! Then why did the documents said that they need a lot of energy?
*Thump*
If I have to put it into a comparison… It's like filling a water balloon with more water until it burst. They force the wisdom cube to act. Just like most science experiment I guess.
*Thump*
But you'redifferent. You can 'talk' with the wisdom cube and mold them into a shipgirl without forcing them to burst. Just gather the ingredient and then see what happen.
*Thump*
Can I force them to love me right from the get go?
*Thump*
Sigh… no… You need to seduce them like how you did it to the others. God, why does it have to be you?
*Thump*
Maybe it's because of my lewdness that I was chosen for this position. Have you ever thought about that?
*Thump*
God no… please no…
*Thump*
.
.
.
.
.
*Thump*
Is there a way to stop the beating by the way? It's getting quite annoying.
"Th—this is no—nothing to me."
"Shouldn't we start with something small?"
"This is the fate of little kids that seduce adult!"
"Do you want to spend some time with me, cutie~~?"
"It is a beautiful night, commander."
