"NNNYYYYYYYAAAAAWWWWWNNNNNN~~~! GGGUUUUHHH! Huuuhh…" What a weird freaking dream that was? I'm going to ask Alpha the next time I see her. "Uh?" My face tilted downward to see where the cute snoring was coming from. It was from Monty who's sleeping like a baby. "Hey cutie, it's time to wake up." I pinch her adorable cheek and shake her head.
"Uuuggghhh… Five more minutes. My body is still tired and sore." Yeah, last night wasn't exactly a gentle night for both of us. I keep on pinching her cheek to tease her and force her to get up. "Guuuh! Fine! I'm awake!" She grumbly sits up and stares at me. "Asshole."
"Do you want me to do your ass?"
Monty grabbed her pillow and threw it at my face. "You stupid pervert."
"We both are." Who is the slut that was begging for me to go harder last night? You're still in my range, Monty. I wouldn't talk shit if I were you. "You were loving it though or did I fuck you too hard?"
"MMMMHHH!" That's a cute pout you got there, Monty. "You really have no way with words." The cutie patootie pounced on me and hugged me tightly. "It'll be better if you learn how to shut up."
"If I can, then how am I going to tease my new slut."
"You're simply the worst." Monty dug her face into my chest. "I guess this also means that my taste in men is bad." The slut rubs her face lovingly on my chest. "I hate the fact that I love you."
"So does that mean I'm important to you?"
"Yes." Wow! A serious answer. My number one enemy. "And does that mean I'm also your number one?"
"No."
"Eh?"
"I'm not trying to be another Cleveland. I already know what can be done to you and I don't want any asshole to chime in and steal you from me." With all the sex slaves I'm planning to make, my list of important things will always change to adapt to the current target.
"You're not her! You don't ignore me and–"
"That's enough, Monty." I reply to her hug with my own hug. "I don't like that you're angry at Cleveland because you're not her trusted person."
"..."
"Who everyone's trusted person is a subjective topic, Monty. You have no right nor obligation to be a part of that list." Everyone has their own experiences that we don't know about. Just because you have spent time with someone, doesn't make you their trusted person. "I don't want my cute Monty to care too much about other people."
"Then what do you want from me?"
"I want you to care about yourself first."
"..."
"You care so much for Cleveland that you're angry she doesn't reciprocate. You want her to repay you, no? You want her to care for you like how you care for her, no?"
"Do I really need to answer, dummy."
"Fufufu~~ The only person that can care for you like how you wanted is yourself, Monty. Not even I could care for you better than yourself." That's why I care for myself. Indulging myself in my lust and turning these shipgirls into my own personal slut for my own pleasure. "I don't want to replace Cleveland in your heart, Monty. I want you to put yourself there instead."
"And if I don't?"
"I'm going to fuck Cleveland right in front of you." Monty reacts quickly by chewing on my right nipple. "Ow! That hurt, you slut!"
"I hate you!" That's good! Don't put me on a pedestal! Throw me away! "So you basically want us to be sex friends?"
"That but more intimate."
"You're the most confusing asshole I've ever met." The slut stopped chewing on my nipple but then she started licking that same nipple. "You're aiming for Cleveland, right?"
"Eh?"
"I'll help you turn her into a cock-addicted slut." Am I hearing things? Am I delusional?! "But, I want to be personally involved in breaking her mind. I'll make sure she feels what I felt last night."
"Ohohohoho~~ It seems that I have a supervillainess in my hand."
"You're my catalyst, perverts. It's all your fault." Not going to deny that. Last night was 100% my doing. "You're stinky. Let's go take a bath."
.
.
.
"Igo, you seriously didn't do anything to Monty, right?"
"The fact that you keep pestering me about it pisses me off!" After taking a bath, and some quick bathroom sex, me and Monty go to Stella's office and meet her. The first thing Monty did when she entered the room was proclaiming her resignation from the position of my secretary. "She already said it herself."
"I know but I just need to make sure." To make sure that Monty doesn't grow any parasocial feelings for me, I tell her to resign and calm herself first. It's also an opportunity for her to start my attack on Clevebro. "Sigh… I'll go search for another secretary."
"Thank you, my lovely darling~~"
"His perfect secretary is here!" Eugen suddenly opens the door and walks into the office. "Wouldn't you say so, kommandant Stella?" The pervert walked seductively up to me and then placed her fat ass on my lap. She smells wonderful.
"Hell fucking no!" I don't know what I expected but of course Stella wouldn't allow it. "All both of you will do is just have sex nonstop!" Not gonna lie. That might be true. "That is supposed to be me!" What was supposed to be you?! Are you hallucinating or something?
"I'll let you have sex with my boyfriend if you let me be his secretary." Ah yeah, I do remember that Eugen is now my temporary girlfriend. "How about it?"
"I will have sex with him regardless!"
"If you don't make me his secretary, I'll wet your bed with his sperm." That's a very creative threat, Eugen.
"Eugen, you shouldn't push too hard like that." This time, it's the head maid's time to come into the office. Unlike the useless Eugen, Belfast comes in with a trolley full of food and drink. "The cuckold is enjoying playing hard to get and your effort only makes her happier."
"I fucking hate both of you." I don't think you should insult someone who is making your food. She might put some poison in your food. "Just give me my breakfast and shut up!"
"Why do I even bother following your orders anyway?" Calm down, Eugen. Please don't kill my girlfriend. "Hey Liebling, why don't we just dispose of her and let you lead Azur Lane?"
"I'll be the number one suspect if that happens."
"Not if we can help you."
"I'm going to report all of you!" I'm not a part of this! Eugen is the mastermind and I'm just following her.
"Fufufu~~ I do hope you enjoy this breakfast, master Stella." Belfast brings a plate of carbonara and places it right in front of Stella. She then poured a glass of lemon tea and placed it next to Stella's plate. "Don't worry, I have not put something strange in it."
"That's making it more suspicious, dumbass!"
"Fufufu~~"
"Say something! Just laughing makes it even creepier!"
"Eugen, can you get off my wonderful master's lap?" This cow of mine is really dependable. Unlike Stella, she can actually order Eugen around. "For you, my lovely master, I've prepared the best." The head maid deployed the feet for the trolley so that I could use it as a table. I can tell. The volume of the noodles are bigger but not in a soggy way. It's also not as pale as Stella's noodles as if she had boiled mine not in plain water but in a broth or something. I wonder what kind of cheese she used to make. I wonder if you can get sardegnian cheese like parmesan around here. The meat that she used clearly isn't some run of the mill meat. It's big but not hollow, each of them are perfectly cooked medium rare as if she personally inspected each and every one of them, and the smell is simply divine. "And of course, your favorite drink." She pours a familiar brown liquid into a glass before she whispers into my ear. "I use my breastmilk to make this."
I don't think it's a good idea to make me horny right in front of Stella like this Belfast but either way, "Thank you, my lovely cow. I can't wait to give it a taste." The smell of the chocolate milk is certainly different from normal milk. The first one I taste is the noodles and as expected of Belfast's cooking, it's simply superb. The cheese, egg, meat, noodles, and spices mix together extremely well. There's definitely some liberty in the recipe of this carbonara but hey, there's nothing wrong with that. There's definitely some sort of chili in the dish as I can feel the hotness on my tongue. "Ssshh!" Guess that's why she gave me the milk as I heard it's a good remedy for capsaicin. After finishing the carbonara, I gulp down the chocolate breastmilk. "*GULP* *GULP* *GULP* *GULP* *GULP* Aaahh~~"
"How was it, my lovely master?"
"I love it."
"Do you really need to ask? Did you not see how quickly he finished his breakfast?" It's about the other thing, Stella. I forgive you since you don't know.
"Or you're a slow eater?" That could also be the reason.
"I'm enjoying my food!" Don't talk with food inside your mouth! You're making your table dirty. "Mmmh~~!" I want to punish this baby.
"My master, may I ask about your schedule for today?"
"He'll be coming with me to meet the higher ups." There goes my freedom of choices. I guess I can't put the fault on Stella cause it's the higher up that want it. "I'm going to leave the base to Queen Elizabeth."
"The flat-chested twintail tsundere queen of the Royal Navy?" That's a very detailed description, Eugen. Congratulations for summarizing Queen Elizabeth in a single sentence.
"I can trust her more than I can trust you, Eugen." That's some very harsh tone, Stella! Damn! "Perverted head maid, go make yourself useful and pack our stuff!" You're eating breakfast that she makes, woman! I know she is your maid that is flirting with your boyfriend but be kind.
"Fufufu~~ Affirmative." It must be hard being a maid, huh.
.
.
.
"Thank you for preparing everything for us, Belfast."
"Fufufu~~ Anything for you, my lovely master." All of us are standing in front of the Tateyama train station. There are a lot of girls that will be coming with us. Mostly representatives of each faction since it's most likely that they're going to need to report to their own respectives people. Sadly, Belfast isn't going to come with us since the little queen will likely need her to run the temporary base. "Please take care and be cautious of master Stella."
"The hell is that supposed to mean?!" It means what she meant, Stella. "Don't you have a miniature queen to attend to, headmaid?" Why are you so rude to Elizabeth?! Her maid is the problem, not her.
We bid farewell to the girls that will be staying on the temporary base and board our train. The train that we're taking is nothing like the previous one. It's clear to the naked and untrained eyes that this train has extra protection. Its walls and windows are way thicker than usual as if it was designed to deflect an anti-tank rifle. To pull these carts, the locomotive that was chosen looks like it was coming from the future. It emits this quiet humming tone and has its own ambience light. Since when does the locomotive cart need an ambience light? Not only that, this train also comes with bodyguards. Women in military outfits stand guard all around the train ready to tackle anyone that tries to do anything funny. The air around this train certainly exudes that maximum security vibe.
"This is one hell of a transport vehicle." Add a turret or two and this will be a train tank. We board the train and inside the train is not something that I would expect for something so protected. It's like one of those 5 stars hotels in here. "The hell?" All this luxury hurt my peasant's heart and eyes. "Stella, all these glitters hurt my eyes."
"I thought you had gotten used to seeing explosions." It's an entirely different kind of glitter, Stella. "Go sit down, Igo. The train is about to move." Unlike yesterday's commoner train that has the normal seat on the sides, this train's seats are arranged as if we're going to have a tea party. There are 4 sets of 4 armchairs and a tea table across the cart for us to use. I assume there are more sets in the other carts. "Oh, we're moving."
"Huh? Really?" I don't feel shit. To see if it's true, I looked out the window and Stella was right, we're moving. This train is hella smooth. The usual train usually jerks itself first before moving but I feel nothing on this train. Well, there's nowhere left to go now that the train is moving. Better buckle up and wait. "Hmm?" I place my ass on one of the armchairs and notice that Nagato is sitting next to me. "Morning Nagato, you look cute as always."
"Eh?! Ah! Thank you." Hmm? Does Nagato seem more nervous than usual? Is it because she'll be seeing her higher up face-to-face?
"Is there something wrong, cutiepie?"
"Eh?! Com–commander, we're in public." And what about it?! I'll kill anyone that is trying to get in my way!
"Fufufu~~ Then you better tell me why you are being nervous like this?"
"It's nothing." Liar liar pants on fire. Well, Nagato doesn't wear pants so liar liar panties on fire.
"If that's how you wanna play it then you have to sit on my lap." I stand up and approach Nagato's seat. "I will not accept a 'no' for an answer." I put my hands under her arms and lifted her up off her seat. I then sit back on my armchair and place Nagato on my lap. "Hmm~~ See~~ That feels nice, no?"
"Commander! This is embarrassing." It's cute though! You're definitely one of the cutest beings in the world. "Kawakaze, help!" The cute fox begged her guardian to come in and stop me. The white haired girl is sitting at the last armchair in our set.
"You better not, Kawakaze. I'll kiss Nagato in front of everyone if you decide to chime in." Even if she doesn't, I will still kiss Nagato. Nothing in this world can stop me.
"Understood. Do forgive me, lady Nagato." Good girl.
"Hear that, my cutie. You have no allies here." I submerge my face in Nagato's long silky hair and shake my face around. I love the smell of her hair. "You better tell me why you are nervous now before I start biting on your cute ears."
"Uhn~~ Guh~~! It's nothing serious." I guess people do get nervous when they're meeting with authorities, huh. It's like you're going to have a meeting with your teacher. "I'll be sure to feel better after we arrive."
"Is that so? Then help your darling relax, okay?" I tighten my hug around Nagato's body and let my face rest on her head. "You're just the perfect hugging pillow, Nagato. I wish I could take you into my room."
"Com–commander! That tickles!" It's your own fault for being too cute. "Commander Stella, help me!"
"Zzzzzzzzzzz~~~" It's useless, Nagato. Your other commander has fallen asleep. I hope it's because she is tired and not because Belfast put sleeping pills in her food. I really need her to wake up when we face the higher ups.
"Just surrender yourself to me, Nagato. That's your fate." I was so focused on rubbing myself against Nagato's hair that I did not notice that a waitress was standing right next to us.
"Apologies for interrupting you but do you perhaps want some snacks and tea?" The waitress is pushing a trolley, just like Belfast did, with some stuff on it.
"Sure." She's bilingual, huh. I was expecting to need to wear my translation earpiece but nope. The waitress smiles and nods slightly to my answer. She grabbed a small glass bowl and put it on our table before she poured chocolate squares in it. She then does the same for peanuts, cookies, brownies, and pocky. She then places 4 sakuran tea cups and pour green tea into them. "Thank you."
"You're welcome~~" Sometimes I wonder what's going on behind the smiles of people working in her department. I double she always gets to serve nice and kind people. "Please do not hesitate to call me if you need anything." The waitress bows her head before leaving our table.
"Do you want to drink the tea, Nagato?" My cute fox nods her head and I happily grab her cup and bring it to her. It's still steaming so I hope she doesn't burn her tongue.
This peaceful atmosphere is very nice. Both me and Nagato are calming ourselves down before we meet up with the higher ups. Not gonna lie, I was also a bit nervous. How can I not?! I was about to meet with the higher ups of an all-girl organization as the only male! Well, at least the only one that I know. There's probably some males that work behind the screen. I hope I don't fuck this up cause first impression is everything.
.
.
.
"How tall is this building?" Our entourage has finally reached Nagoya and are now standing in front of a big ass building. How much sand does it take to make all of that glass?!
"Tall enough to hurt your neck if you're trying to look at the top from down here." Well, it's my first time here, Stella. You know I gotta look stuff up. "Oh, here comes Tsuyo."
"Good morning~~ I hope the train ride wasn't too harsh." Hardly feel it's moving to be honest with you. Feel like I'm sitting in an immovable hotel. "I hope Stella hasn't been a pain for you, Igo."
"I'm here, you ass!" It's nice seeing them get along like this. "Come on! Let's get going! I don't want to get yelled at." What have you been yelled at for?
"Agree." Eh? You have been yelled at too, Tsuyo? That's surprising.
Tsuyo leads our entourage inside the massive building. Through glass doors, into the freezing hall, multiple escalators trips up, and we finally reach a meeting room.
"Uugh…" Why am I feeling nervous all of a sudden? I have been meeting with higher ups all of my life so why do I get this feeling like this is my first time? I guess this is my first time. "Do we really have to use such a formal place to hold a meeting?"
"What places have you been using as a meeting spot before this?" I have a track of being in the field more than in an office, Stella. I usually just use a tent or something like that. Hell, I've used a destroyed home as a meeting spot before. "You'll get used to it, Igo."
"Is everything ready?" Tsuyo asked our group as she put her hands on the door. No one said anything to answer her question. "I assume that's a 'yes'. Let's go." Tsuyo pushes the double doors open and we enter the meeting room.
The meeting room has a pretty good lighting situation not like those dark places where evil people gather. There's a bunch of tables in the room that create a big square with an empty center. Behind those tables are office chairs and most of them already have their users. The wall on the other side from the door consists entirely of dark glass where you can see the outside but slightly darken.
"Welcome, Admiral of The Navy Stella and Admiral Igo." The woman who spoke was the one who was sitting right on the opposite side of the door. Her eyes remind me of those people that can read through people. Highly intelligent and sharp and her glass definitely helps that image. She has jet black long hair. "Please sit down. The meeting is about to begin."
"Kay~~" Stella casually answers her and sits down on one of the empty chairs. Of course I follow her lead. Like hell am I going to stand out more than I already did. I'm already the only male in here.
"Our apology but we do not have enough chairs for the shipgirls."
"We understand."
"Now, let's begin with an introduction of Admiral Igo." Eh? "We have read about you from the papers but we believe it'll be better if you introduce yourself."
"I see…" I don't know if this is a prank or not but eh, it's better to play along anyway. I stand up from my seat and prepare my voice. "My name is Igo Johnson. I prefer if you just call me by Igo." Johnson is a common surname so it's likely for more than one person to respond if you call me using that name which is why people start calling me by Igo. "I'm a new Admiral for Azur Lane. I look forward to working with all of you."
"Oh thank god!" Huh? I heard someone whispering under their breath. "I thought he'll be another pain in the ass because Stella was the one who suggested him."
"I HEARD THAT!"
"Fufufu~~" Whoever was whispering isn't exactly being quiet. Probably on purpose for Stella to hear.
"Greetings, Admiral Igo. As a representation of Azur Lane, we formally welcome you to our organization." Kinda late but I guess it's better late than never. "we hope Admiral of The Navy Stella had explain the gist of our organization but just in case if she did not–"
"Which is likely."
"Flan! You! Me! Outside right now! I've been edging to punch someone in the face." Calm down, Stella. I understand what you're feeling but I'm not as close to these people as you are so I can't back you up.
"Miss Flandre, please stop teasing Stella." The woman in the middle calmed down the situation with ease. "Apologies for the ruckus, Admiral Igo. Let's continue. Azur Lane is an organization created to train and deploy the KANSENs effectively." Yeah, the tactic used by Azur Lane is entirely different from everything that has been taught to me. It does have some resemblance to the Army's strategy when you think about it. Cavalry unit if I can be specific. "Do you know the abbreviation for 'KANSEN', Admiral Igo?"
"If I'm not mistaken… Kinetics Artifactual Navy Self-regulative En-lore Node."
"Indeed. Since the SEN series of technology are still in active development, Azur Lane is hidden from public knowledge." SEN series technology? What does she mean by that? "We believe that the public deserve to know about us but that time is not now." That kind of wording makes it as if she doesn't believe that day will actually come. If she did, she would've confidently told me what needs to be fixed before Azur Lane is officially acknowledged to the whole world. "As an Admiral of Azur Lane, you have the duty to make sure that knowledge about Azur Lane's does not spread out to the general public."
"I see…" That's kinda problematic, isn't it? Elizabeth, the granny, kinda already knows about Azur Lane but can she be counted as the public. It's just her alone, a small percentage of the public mass, so is it safe to say that I don't need to do anything about her? I'm gonna assume that. "I shall try."
"Thank you. That concludes the introduction. Do you perhaps have a question?"
"Yes. I believe you said something about 'SEN series technology' earlier, is it safe to assume that there are other girls similar to the shipgirls?"
I can see the edge of the woman's mouth curl upward a little bit after I asked that question. Did I ask the right thing? Is she happy that I asked that question? I didn't know her well enough to determine that smile. "Indeed." A goosebump traveled up my spine. Her voice and tone doesn't change and yet, it feels different somehow. "Believe me when I say that I want to introduce you to the others but some others have not shared the same thought as me yet." 'Yet'? "Do be patient, Admiral Igo. I believe the time shall come. You just need to be tested on several things to assure others' doubt."
"..." I wonder what I will be tested on? If it's about my lust then I'm either going to succeed so good or fail so hard. "Then for my last question." This question it's not as big or important as before but it's been sitting in my mind ever since I made the connection about the shipgirls and the wisdom cube. "Do you call it 'wisdom cube' because it can only summon ships from the past or am I just reading too much into things?" I notice that all of the shipgirls come from WW2 which is in the past. While wisdom comes from experience and experience is always in the past.
For the second time today, a goosebump ran down my spine.
"I need more!"
"Sigh… What an annoying piece of crap."
"Can I get a cold chocolate milk?"
"Basic biology."
"Hey! Look at that! You actually use your brain for once, Stella!"
