"Alright Igo, I'm here. There's no need to panic."

"Fix your outfit first, woman." If I was the one who picked you up, people would think that we just had sex. It doesn't help that she was also sweating like crazy. "The current situation is that we have just enteredthe mirror sea. I can't afford the time to stay put with the Arsenal Bird on our ass." I was thinking of trying to go around the mirror sea at first but it was too big that we would need to dramatically change our course. I was afraid that the Arsenal Bird might catch up if I did that.

"I see… Well, this is going to be annoying without our instruments," Yeah… I tried our navigation and communication earlier, they're not exactly accurate as of now. I can't communicate with the outside world while the compass can't make up its mind as to where we're heading. "and it's also foggy outside. Hmm… they sure don't make it easy for us."

"Thankfully, we can still see each other using our radars." Eeehh… sort of. It's glitching in and out every so often so you can't depend on it 100%.

"Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting." Said the last person to arrive. All the nation representatives had arrived a couple of minutes ago, Stella. "I propose we keep going forward."

"We don't exactly know what forward is, Stella." For all we know, we may be heading northeast.

"What commander Igo said is true." Thank you, Richelieu. "We might be heading back toward the Arsenal Bird." In that case, we transported our head from a boiling pot of cooking oil and went straight into an active volcano. "Perhaps we should look around first before making our decision. Maybe there would be something that might guide us."

"But the threat of the Arsenal Bird doesn't just come after we exit the mirror sea, it might enter the mirror itself to search for us." A valid point from Enty and considering that the Arsenal Bird is a siren construct, it might be more powerful in this place.

"And only an idiot wanders around an enemy territory carelessly." You don't need to insult your sister's idea like that, Jean Bart. Just saying that it's not good to carelessly wander around is enough. "But staying still is worse." Who are you complimenting here, me or your sister?

"But which way?" Belorussiya plays with a ship figure that was placed on the table in the middle of the room. On the table is a huge circle with the ship in the middle of it as a representation of our current condition. All of this is just speculation though. The mirror sea could be a cube shaped, oval shaped, ball shaped, or etc. Not only that, our position and heading were also only a speculation. "For all we know, we might be on the north side of the mirror sea heading south."

Mirror sea is one hell of an annoying phenomenon, huh… We enter the mirror sea from the west side but we don't know if we are on the west side. It's like opening a door to the living room but after walking through the door, instead of arriving at the living room, you enter the kitchen through the refrigerator's door. Not only that, you don't know where you're facing. Before entering the room, you were facing north but after walking through the door, you were facing southwest.

"Maybe we should send some scout planes first?" Hmm… Scout planes, huh… Not a bad idea, Nagato. "It might also trigger any siren's trap which would make it safer for the fleet."

"That might help us with our immediate surroundings but it still wouldn't give us any direction to go." Yat Sen has a point but information is still information. It's better for us to know rather than not. "But I believe that it might be our best course of action for now."

"Hmm… I guess so…" Stella presses her earphone and talks to the mic. "Tell the carrier to send some scout planes around us and tell me if they find anything noteworthy." I wonder what the sirens are planning. We have entered the mirror sea for some time now but we still haven't met any siren force yet. Not even the Arsenal Bird is anywhere nearby by the looks of it even though it was right on our tail just a couple of moments ago. What is going on? "Alright then, I guess our only option is to keep moving forward until we find something." So still our original plan but with an addition. "Alright girls, get out there and find me something interesting."

"Hey woman, is that a way to talk to your soldiers?" I know that's their job but still, say it in a good way, will ya? "One of these days, one of them will stab you in the back."

"That's right, servant! You should choose your words carefully when speaking to me!" See!? You make the flat queen angry! You're causing the maids a lot of problems, you know?!

"Fufufu~~ 'One of these days' you say? I suggest we do it now." Eugen, calm down. There's no need for violence. Everyone is under pressure. "It wouldn't be a surprise if kommandant Stella somehow died in the middle of a battle, no? Besides, we already have a better replacement for her here." Don't drag me in this, bitch!

"I'm going to tie you onto an anchor and drop you off, asshole."

"Alright, let's calm down both of you, we're still in mortal danger, you know?" It seems that I have to step up and be a better commander than Stella. "Eugen, stop teasing Stella. She is not as tolerant as I am to your joke."

"You're lucky Igo is here to stop me, bitch." I said calm down!

"Why are you defending that abusive woman, darling? Am I not a better lover?" Stop! Why is no one listening to me?!

"That's enough." Jean Bart finally had enough and stepped in… and grabbed me? "We're wasting too much time." Why are you grabbing me?! The one who is fighting are these 2 bitches, not me! I was trying to defuse the situation just like you. "Your effort will be much better used outside rather than here." Ah… so that's what she meant. I guess she is right. It's better for me to yell at where my voice will be heard. BUT!

"Eh? Are you sure? Are you not mistaking me for Stella?" This is not an exercise where I can make mistakes, Jean. This is the real deal and not only that, this is a mirror sea. Fucking up would result in immediate death. "I think I still need more time before I'm ready to tackle a mirror sea, Jean."

"Don't worry, I'll be by your side." Is that a proposal? Sounds like one and I'm going to act like it was one. "Come on. We need to be on the deck." Jean Bart drags me out of the room, leaving no room for me to retort or reject.

"Hey, don't be so rough. You'll rip my arm off." Part of me is glad that I was pulled away from that disaster of a room filled with human-shaped gunpowder kegs. I wouldn't be surprised if the room suddenly erupts in one enormous explosion the moment I walk away. "Say Jean Bart, how many mirror seas have you taken care off before?" I doubt Stella takes everyone with her to exterminate these mirror seas.

"Several. I don't remember." Jean, I need a number. 'Several' is a subjective word that can mean differently to each person. 3 mirror seas sound like several to me but to Stella it's probably a few. "Don't worry. Just stay behind me and you'll be okay." I know that. The thing is, I need experience and knowledge to effectively command a unit and truth be told, I'm lacking in both of those right now. I can lead humans pretty well but not shipgirls.

"I'm glad that I have a very reliable girl beside me but don't you think I'm still unreliable to lead you girls in battle." It would be better off if Stella was here instead of me. I will gladly lift the flag if this was an exercise and maybe your everyday skirmishes but not mirror sea. That's where I draw the line. "I still need some more training before I'm ready to lead you girls in battle."

"Then this will be a good place for you to learn." Not when life is in danger. "You either learn or someone's blood will be on your hand." That's what I want to avoid, Jean.

I keep trying to complain about Jean's decision but she rebuts me every single time and before I know it, we arrive at the deck of the command ship. Cold misty air was among the first things I noticed about our surroundings. It's the middle of summer and yet the air was lower than 15 degrees Celsius. It certainly is not freezing level but it's definitely not summer level.

"Brrrrrr~~~~" Was the first thing my mouth uttered when my feet stepped out of the ship. Should've brought some sort of jacket for sure! "Say Jean Bart, do you really think we can fight in this kind of weather?" It's foggy. Sure you'll still be able to see the silhouette of distant things but you can't exactly figure out whether they're enemy or friend. The radar systems aren't exactly in their top condition either so this will surely be one hell of a fight.

"It will be hard but not impossible." I assume that means she has experience in fighting in a foggy battlefield without the help of a modern-day radar before because that is our condition right now. A fog would be a disturbance for sure but it's mostly on human's eyes. "And the radar isn't broken. It's the accuracy that is affected." Still! If your friend and enemy are in close proximity to each other, a slight miscalculation could spell disaster.

"GUH! FINE! But I'll blame it on you if anything happens." This is a bad idea. This is a bad idea. This is a bad idea.

"Hey moron, you forget your tablet." Huh? Out of nowhere, Monty suddenly pops up behind me and hands me a tablet. Ah shit! Thanks Monty! "You're not like us who can use our own radar so don't forget about your tablet, moron." I get it. I get it! Geez! It's not my fault that Jean Bart suddenly pulls me out of the room without warning. If she had at least given me 10 seconds then I would grab my tablet with me.

"Thanks Cutie." I grab the tablet off Monty's hand and give her head a good pat. "I know I can count on you." I turn the tablet on and it shows me the radar HUD. Alright so… Hmm… Jean Bart is right. I can still see the shipgirls in the HUD but the screen is glitching like crazy. It's like someone had just spit on it and tried to wipe it off. "Ah yeah… this is going to be annoying." I could hardly do it when it was normal but now, I had to do it while having the worst screen in the world.

"You seem to think that we, shipgirls, are the same with the mass-produced ships." Huh? What do you mean Jean Bart? "We're not slow. We can dodge shots coming directly at us." Ah… I guess she is right about that. One of the main advantages of shipgirls compared to normal ships is that they're more agile. I have seen these girls dodge shells several centimeters from their face so maybe I shouldn't be so concerned about these girls launching shells at each other even accidently.

"I don't like getting looked down on by you , of all people." I don't look down on you girls! I'm just concerned, okay?! "Don't think that we're on the same level, pervert. You're a pervert who spends all day jerking off to girls' bodies and forcing himself on others. Of course you're not as fit as we are." Hey! That's our secret! Don't spill it out in public!

"Is that so?! How about I force myself onto you, right now?!" Time to force my dick inside the spilling mouth! I give Jean the tablet and turn my body toward Monty. "It seems that something is missing from your mouth, Monty. Want me to help?" I grabbed Monty's shoulders firmly and tried to close the gap between us but Monty was not having it.

"Stop! Don't get any closer!" Monty uses both of her arms to try to push me away but the boost from my lust manages to slightly overpower her. "Not in public, moron!" You were the one who started it! We wouldn't be tangled in this death dance if you can keep your mouth shut! "GUH! Keep it in your pants, asshole!"

"Stop that, dumbass." *BONK*

"AAAAAAGGHH!" Jean Bart, being the pirate that she is, backstab me by smacking me in the head with the tablet that I just gave her. I thought that she was a good pirate but instead she is good at being a pirate. "That hurt… Jean…" That thing… is sturdy. Gotta give prop to the maker, they make shit hard.

"Serve you right." Why am I the only one who gets smack?! Monty was the one who started it! "Now focus or I'll smack you again."

"You think I'll let you smack me again!?" I turn my body around and put my arms up in front of me. "I'm not that stupid, alright!" The reason she managed to hit me earlier was because my back was turned on her. I bet she won't be able to do it again! "I'll dare you to try that again." With confidence I taunt her, thinking that there would be no way for her to smack me so easily like before. BUT, like usual, karma bites me in the ass. "Eh?" Monty, who was the target of my lust before, suddenly kicked my knees from the back which caused me to lose my footing and fall down. She then quickly held my arms behind my back and locked me from using them to protect myself. "Ah… Jean… Please don't…"

"…" *BONK*

"AAAAAAAAAGGGHH!" My plea for mercy was ignore coldly by the pirate as she brings down the tablet of judgement on my face. It hurts like hell! "Why?! AAGH!" Give this woman a newspaper please! For the sake of my handsome face!

"My condolences. It must be hard being his secretary." The one who you're supposed to be sad about is me, Jean! Not Monty!

"Sigh… It seems that life has thrown me its sourest lemon." Shut up, you spicy mango. "At the very least, it's easy to bait this dummy." No, it's not. I dare you to bait me, Monty! "Come on, Idiot. Stop playing around. I know it's not that painful." Let me smack you in the face with that tablet and then you can talk like that, Monty.

"No. Don't wanna!~~" I fortify my ass to the deck, making sure that I won't move even in the fiercest of storms. "Bwe~~"

"Ugh… Why do you… Sigh…" Not that easy now is it, Monty? Maybe you should learn to choose your words carefully. "Can't believe I'm going to do this…" If you're going physical then I would scream and alert everyone. You have to explain to them, Monty. I then hear an unzipping sound of a Velcro? "…Stop acting like a kid and I'll let you grope my breast." The unzipping noise was her cape being undone.

"…naked."

"Fucking… FINE! BUT THAT'S IT!" Fufufu~~ You may know how to bait me but I know how to push the bar, Monty.

"And I also want to do it to Jean Bart too."

"What?!" Why are you so bewildered? I have done it to you before! Well, I've photographed you before but that's the same. "Don't be stupid! Why would I let you?" You smack me in the head and face using a tablet, you bitch. You have to take responsibility here!

"What? So you're going to chicken out and let Monty take all the blame here?!" I bring out my other superpower, gaslighting people. "You smacked me in the head and face and now you're going to act like it was all Monty's fault!" Jean Bart's face shows me how perplexed she is. "Fine! Monty, I'm going to need to grope you below too to make up for Jean Bart's little irresponsibility."

"WAIT!" Jean Bart roars and grabs my shoulder. "…Fine… you can grope my breast too…" Fufufu~~ These girls are so easy to manipulate. They care for each other so much that it's easy for me to take advantage of them. "But you need to fulfil your half of the contract first. Be a good commander."

"You got it!" I got up from my seated position, snatched the tablet off Jean's hand, and took the position of the commander. "Alright, let's see what we're working with." I've increased the number of shipgirls in the water so I think our defence is fine. The scout planes that were sent earlier also help with our poor vision. "Jean, our best course of action is to minimize skirmishes with the siren and exit the mirror sea ASAP. From your experiences, is it faster to destroy the mirror sea or sail to the edge and get out of it?"

"Hmm… I don't know about the latter one. My experience with them has always been dispelling the mirror sea." This all-girl organization works with their brawn more than with their brain. "Why are you so concerned about us? We can handle ourselves just fine. Identify where the core of the mirror sea is and I'll do my job."

"And how long does it take for you to destroy the core?" And no one was answering my question. "I would gladly let you fight under normal circumstances, Jean. Sadly, we're not in one. We're racing against time." It's a miracle that the Arsenal Bird isn't here yet. Not having it anywhere in our field of view is calming while also making me anxious at the same time. It's like being in the middle of the forest and hearing a bear's growl. "Say, do you carriers have any experience of your planes leaving the mirror sea?"

"Yes. We'll lose contact and control of our planes the moment they go over the mirror sea walls." I see… Sending scout planes with the hope of hitting the walls is one way of dealing with this situation. We can have several carriers send their scout planes straight with one carrier responsible for one direction. The faster a shipgirl loses contact with her plane, the shorter our distance to that side wall of the mirror sea.

"Alright, I'm going to need eight carriers. Come to the deck of the command ship." I was expecting to have to wait for some minutes but the very next second after I turn my mic off, 3 girls suddenly leap out of the water and onto the deck. They are Akagi, Taihou, and Junyou. "You girls sure are fast." Can you not wait like a few seconds for me to prepare myself? I know I called but people usually respond with 'I'll be right there' not knocking on the door.

"When your childhood friend called, of course you have to respond as quickly as possible, no?" I don't know. It's been some time since my childhood friends texted me. Junyou is another Sakuran Aircraft Carrier so of course she has a few screws loose in her head. She has purple hair that she tied in a side ponytail style. And of course she has big boobs too, that's a staple for a sakuran carrier. She is carrying a short sakuran sword on her waist like every other sakuran ship. Do they use that sword in combat or is that an emblem or some sort?

"I'm always ready for you, my commander." Too ready if you ask me, Akagi.

"I'll do anything and everything for you, my commander." 'Anything' Taihou? Are you sure? Are you free tonight?

"Sigh… let's wait for the others and I'll tell you the plan." Several minutes later, the rest arrived. They are Graf Zeppelin, Lexington, Kaga, Formidable, and Illustrious. "Alright, hear me out. Stella said that we don't have a lot of time in our hands so she decides that our best course of action is to run away instead of dealing with the mirror sea."

"Well, for commander Stella, commander Igo's safety come first, I suppose." I don't think it's just my safety, Lusty. I think it's our safety in general. "So what's the plan, commander?"

"Alright, open your ears." I then proceed to tell these girls the plan. "So each of you will have to take responsibility for one direction. Gather several ships as your escort just in case you get ambushed and can't protect yourself."

"Not that bad of an idea. No matter where we are or what shape the mirror sea is, this plan will surely get us to the closest wall." Thank you for the compliment, Kaga. I appreciate it. "But I think it's better for us to deal with the problem head on." Shut up, musclehead.

"I agree." Don't play on her side, Graf. Please think more about our current circumstances. There's absolutely no way for you girls to win against the Arsenal Bird. "Letting these cretins go could be the cause of your future downfall, kommandant Igo." We're only letting them go for now. We're an evacuating party not an invading force.

"Sigh… look, comply with my plan for now and I swear I'll let you take care of this mirror sea in the future." I never specified when so I can procrastinate as much as I want. "Our main objective is to get out and reach the Sakura Empire. The longer we went missing the more alerted the people outside were." I don't want to deal with a lot of angry, important people. "Not only that, the longer you shipgirls go missing, the bigger the paperwork that I need to fill."

"So in the end, it's for your own benefit anyway." Yes! Do you have any problem with that, Graf? How about you sit on Stella's seat for a day and deal with all the paperwork you girls create, huh?

"Come now, commander Igo and Stella aren't that selfish." I actually am, Lexington. Please don't look up to me. Please look up to a much more respectable person.

"Indeed. The commanders' paperwork correlates directly to the shipgirls' well being." Thank you, Formidable. Her being Illustrious's sister has caused me some worries when we first met. I was afraid that she might be as airheaded as her big sister but nope, she seems to be much more normal. "It's their own way of saying that they care for us." Thankfully, she inherits Illustrious's body plan. Extremely gifted breast, slender limbs, polished white skin, silky gray extremely long hair that she tied in a twintail style and let me say it again, BIG BOOBS. "Isn't that right, commander?" The other thing that differentiates her from Illustrious is her clothings. She is wearing a black shoulderless dress that stretch down to her knees. Completely different from her sister who wears white and end on her thighs. The only same thing about their dress is that they give a generous view of their boobs.

"Well, kind of." You girls create paperwork by just breathing. "Just follow my order for now, we're racing against time here. I'll listen to your complaint after we reach the Sakura Empire. For now, Go!" Thankfully, no one complained and all of them departed the command ship peacefully. I look at the tablet in my hand and notice 8 groups of shipgirls moving toward their post. Glad that the other girls can cooperate.

"Hmm… you did surprisingly well…" That hurt, Jean. I guess that is to be expected when I've always acted like a pervert in front of her.

"Sigh… he's always like this when you bait him." You didn't bait me, I let myself be baited.

"Fufufu~~ Prepare your breasts girls~~ I'm going to mark it as my own~~ AHAHAHAHA!" Hmm… Maybe I should ask Eugen if she has any aphrodisiacs with her. Knowing her, that will probably be one of the things she brought with her. "Or, do you want to do it now?~~"

"My sister would send her shell right at you if she sees you touching me inappropriately." It's not just you, Jean. Your sister would kill me if she sees me groping another woman's breast other than Stella's. BUT, I'm not me if I'm not thrill seeking, right?

"Alright, let's see your sister inside, shall we?" Both Jean and Monty were shocked by my proposal. Of course they would. Richelieu is known to be very… conservative when it comes to some stuff. One of them is the relationship between man and woman. "What? Can't back up your claim? Afraid that you might be wrong?"

"I'm just afraid that you might not come out in one piece." Aaaawwww~~ Jean~~~ You do care about me. That warms my heart.

"Fufufu~~ Alright, Monty, hold my tablet. I'm going to need both of my hands to molest you girls." I throw the tablet toward Monty and she haphazardly catches it in her hands. "Alright, let's make a bet. If I can molest both of you in front of Richelieu, I can grope every inch of your body and you have to be buck naked without even a single string on your body."

"Ahahahaha~~ Sure commander. I appreciate your bravery though." A laughing Jean Bart… that's a rare thing to see. "Let's go, the sooner you get hurt the sooner we end this delusion." Jean grabs my hand and pulls me inside. Jean was giggling all the way through. It's very uncharacteristic of her but I'm glad that she is enjoying herself.

.

.

.

"Oh hey, Jean. You're back." Oh hey, Stella. It seems that you have made peace with the demon (Eugen) inside this room. "Hmm, are you planning to return Igo? Don't worry, you're still eligible for a refund." You piece of shit!

"Why didn't you say that from the very beginning, stupid?" Monty butts in all grumpy for some reason. Are you angry that I'm interacting more with Jean Bart than you?

"Sorry Monty, but you're his secretary. No refund for you." I know I'm nothing more than an object to you girls but fuck you! "What brings the three of you here? If you want to file a complaint about Igo molesting you girls then go grab the paper. I'll burn it like all the rest." Wait what?! There's someone who is complaining?! Tell me who! I'm going to teach them a lesson! My plan to conquer Azur Lane could be in jeopardy!

"It's really disturbing how both of you complement each other." We are boyfriend and girlfriend, Monty. We won't be one if we aren't compatible with each other.

"Fufufu~~ Please now~~ Commander Igo wouldn't do that." Richelieu… Please look at the truth. I'm as tainted as they come. "It does make me jealous though, you both match each other so well." I don't know whether that's an insult or a compliment to Stella knowing what kind of a person I am.

Well, since Richelieu is here. Might as well start with my play. "Oh~~ Is that so, Richy?~~"

"!" Jean's body tense up as she feels my hand land gently on her butt. She is wearing very tight brown leather shorts. Saying that shorts was kissing her ass was an understatement. It feels as if there was nothing between my skin and hers. "Ugh…" She knew that what was happening to her was her own fault so instead of running away from my hand, she came to it. She must be hoping that I get too reckless and alert Richelieu. But too bad for you Jean Bart, I'm far too experienced in this to take that bait.

"If you're jealous about my relationship with Stella, maybe we can build something alike with you and I~~~"

"You are a brave one, kommandant Igo." Thank you, Eugen. I'm an admiral, you know? I need to be brave.

"Igo, your girlfriend is in front of you, you know?" Mia isn't here, Stella. She is in Eagle Union.

"Fufufu~~ That is an interesting proposition, commander." I know, right? Why can't Stella open her mind and see the positive side of my proposal? The closer I'm to the girls, the better it is for my job. "I wouldn't mind having tea or dinner with you."

"You're making a mistake, Cardinal of Iris Orthodoxy." Monty, it's a mistake to speak up and catch my attention. I did say that I'll molest both of them, didn't I? Well, time to put my money where my mouth is. "! …asshole…" Monty's shorts wasn't as tight as Jean Bart's but it was no problem for the professional that is me. Her ass was mine to play with.

"Is that so~~? Well, I shall be the judge of that then." I wonder what would happen to a religious person like Richelieu when I break their mind? The thought of her worshiping my cock excites me! "You say that he is a bad person but both you and Jean Bart seem comfortable around him."

"..Yeah… Hnn…" Your sister has a bad idea of what a comfortable person looks like, Jean. I was just rubbing my palms around both of the girls' asses but I raised the level by digging my fingers into their lovely peaches. "Uhn…" It was extremely easy to grasp Jean's ass since she was wearing the tightest leather shorts that I've ever seen while Monty's shorts was a bit more loose so it's a little bit more difficult but it was nothing more than a hurdle for my hand.

"I've warned you, Cardinal. Don't come crying to me if he does anything bad to you." You know Monty, I think your front mouth is opening too much. I'm going to give Monty a piece of my mind by punishing her back mouth. "!"

"!" My condolences Jean Bart but you get caught in the crossfire. I just want to be fair with my girls. Belorussiya asked me to. I moved my hands accordingly on their asses so that my middle fingers were hovering right above both of their assholes.

"Is there something happening between you and the commander, Miss Montpelier? Perhaps you see me as a rival or something?" Maybe? Who knows?

"Guh!" To the others, it may look like Richelieu has struck something inside Monty but in reality, I was teasing her and Jean's assholes like crazy. I graze my middle fingers around the hole, tickling and teasing the outer edge. "I don't care!" Time to shut her up! I stop teasing and instead start pushing my middle fingers inside. "!" I start shallow with my nail but slowly push in deeper and deeper until the first segment of my middle fingers are all the way inside their asses.

"Richelieu…" Jean Bart's body is shaking intensely. Her face was red from both anger and embarrassment. Is she embarrassed because of my action or is she embarrassed that she is wrong about our bet? Either way, I've come on top.

"Jean… Is there something wrong?" You are a bad sister, Richelieu. How do you not notice your sister is in danger?

"I hate you." Jean had enough. She grabs my arm and then pulls me away. We're running toward the deck once again but more importantly, away from her sister.


"Don't even try to bitch about it. You deserve that."

"…so your progress of character is by becoming more cocky, huh… pervert."

I would've laughed at her words if it wasn't for her massive guns pointing at me.

"I promise to guard you and I intend on keeping my promise."

"Seems like the one behind us is growing in mass."
