"Igo, Wake up Igo. It's your time now."

Saya's voice entered my ears like a warm tea in the morning. I welcomed them more than anything, especially as something that you heard the first thing after you wake up. Her soft, caring and warm voice heats up my cold body almost like she is wrapping me under a blanket. She wanted me to get up but her voice somehow makes me even sleepier. Maybe it's okay to sleep again-

"Hey, I know that you're actually awake. Come on now…" I don't even need to open my eyes and I know that she is pouting right now. I want to wake up and see that cute face of her but a part of me wants to tease her more. And the best part about not waking up right now is the warm pillow on my head, or her laps if you're wondering. It is soft, plump and I have to do my best not to just burrow my face between her thighs.

If you're wondering why I am sleeping on her lap, I wasn't… At first. If I remember correctly, this evening I was leaning on her shoulder to sleep and not her lap. She probably lifted my head and placed it on her lap, not that I am complaining though. Her thighs remind me of Mia's thigh just a little bit bigger than Mia's. I am sorry Mia but fact is a fact.

"Do you still feel sleepy? You just need to answer me if you still want to lay around." She poked my cheek with her finger, trying to make me open up my eyes. Well, two can play that game. I shake my head in retaliation and I hear her giggling at my reaction. I turn my head and burrow my face on her thighs. "Ah… So that is your answer…. I think you can sleep for another five minutes." I felt her hand rubbing the back of my head and I could feel myself slipping back into the dream world.

Ah… It feels sooooo goooooood… Well until the grandma comes in.

"Hey, wake up now!" She commanded me while pinching my ass. Her pinch stings right through my meat and I immediately get up and shake her hand away. "See, that's how you wake him up Saya."

"You know what grandma. I prefer Saya's way to wake me up rather than yours." I said to her rather frankly while glaring at her. How dare this woman separate me from my pillow. "You're just jealous are you?"

"Yes." She said confidently with a daring smile. "I don't like seeing you sleeping peacefully while I have to think about annoying things."

This bitch! Sigh… Whatever. "Come here Saya, it's your time to sleep." I said to her while patting my lap. She gave me a shocked face, I assume she wasn't sure if I was really hinting what she thought it was. "Yes, what you're thinking is right. Come rest your head on my lap. It's payback for what you-Guh!" Before I could finish my words, Saya dived straight for my lap and hit my side with her shoulder in the process. "Calm down now." I said while rubbing her hair. "It's not like someone is going to take it away from you." I glanced at Elizabeth.

She raised her eyebrows with a grinning smile and said. "Well, don't mind if I do." She got up from her seat and walked toward me. "Come now Saya, move aside."

"Sigh… again…" Saya said as she got closer to her side of the wall. I then proceed to move toward her and allow Elizabeth to sit beside me. I chuckled at Saya's tired sigh, guess Elizabeth is a pain for both of us huh? My hand instinctively patted her head and once in a while ran my fingers through her hair. She purred when my fingers reached her neck, probably from being ticklish there. "Eheheheh~~" I purposely ran my fingers on the back of her neck and made her giggle a couple of times.

"Hey, I thought you wanted to make her sleep." Elizabeth commented at me. She is right, Saya was supposed to sleep. I retract my hand from behind her neck and decide to just rub her head. I could hear a little grumpy pout from Saya. Hey, don't blame me! Elizabeth is the one who told me! "Don't complain, Saya." Elizabeth slowly lowered her upper body and rested her head on my other thigh. "You need your rest. Igo can spoil you the next day." Look who's talking grandma.

Now that both of my thighs are occupied, I couldn't resist to run my fingers on both of their hair. It feels nice to have both of them on my thighs, purring calmly from the sensation of my hand on their scalps. A small smile formed on my face as I let my hands do their things. Their warm body, the small yelp they did whenever I touch a ticklish zone on them and their calm breath is comforting to me. It's almost addicting. I could honestly sit here with both of them for weeks without getting bored.

I lift my head from looking at them to my surroundings. If Elizabeth's schedule is to be believed, the bus had driven non-stop for 3 days straight. A slow and calming jazz whistled through the bus, almost as a damper and a calming drug for the whole passenger. I could see the first driver, sleeping on the seat next to the front door whilst the second driver completely focused on the road. The green LED clock on the dashboard showed that it was 0025 AM. 6 or so hours before we reach the port where our true assignment starts. Couldn't believe that it has been 7 days since I parted with Mia, I wonder how she is doing today. Probably still asleep inside a bus like me or something, the journey from the fort to Northern Parliament isn't exactly quick. Better send her a message.

I lower my head and examine both flowers on my thighs. They are currently fast asleep. Oh how calm and cute their faces are when they are sleeping. I pull up my phone from my chest pocket. Oh yeah, I was wearing a casual shirt after taking a bath this afternoon, I forgot about it. I opened up my phone, and there was a message from Mia. I look at the time she sent me the massage, it was 2000, 4 hours ago. Guess I need to apologize for replying late.

I opened up her message and immediately regretted it. It was a picture of her inside of a toilet, wearing very sexy lingerie under her clothes. Fuck! My dick is becoming hard! Damn you Mia! Couldn't you understand what kind of situation I am in right now?! Probably not huh.

"I don't think you need lingerie to be sexy, honey. Showing me your normal underwear would've done the job, you know? I hope nobody notices what you're wearing." I sent her the reply, fully knowing that she is probably sleeping right now. Some part of me wishes she wasn't so that I could scold her for making me hard. I waited for her reply just in case but like I was expecting, it wasn't coming. Glad she was taking care of herself. But now, how am I going to ease my dick.

A thought emerged from my mind and my eyes immediately wandered down. Elizabeth or Saya. Both of them are currently sleeping peacefully, should I really do it? I mean I am pretty sure that this is considered molesting but me and Elizabeth have done something even worse than this so this shouldn't be a problem right? Right? Saya on the other hand, I haven't really had a sexy time with her but our skinship is basically at that point that it wasn't normal for friends to do. So should I?

Aaaaahhhh! Just this once… Just this once! I am sorry Elizabeth! I am sorry Saya!

I look around, the driver is completely focused so I hope he wouldn't look behind him. I look to my side and see the person sitting behind us sleeping. The jazz should deafen both Saya and Elizabeth in case both of them moan when I do my dirty deeds. Okay, this should be good.

I lower my hand and focus on Saya and Elizabeth cloth. Saya is wearing a black tank top that exposes her upper boobs whilst Elizabeth is wearing a white T-shirt with a somewhat loose collar. First, I slowly moved my hand on Saya's neck, waiting for a few seconds for her reaction. After 5 nervous seconds, I am sure that Saya was in deep sleep after she didn't move or make any kind of noise from my fingers on her neck.

Time for the next phase. I move my hand down toward her collarbone, slowly going down before making my way to her cleavage. Saya's boobs size is D-cup, slightly bigger than Mia's. My hand went deep inside Saya's breasts, feeling the warmth of her boobs on my fingers. I was surprised when I didn't feel a bra covering her then I remember, Mia once said that it was more comfortable to not wear bra when she sleeps, I guess Saya also likes to do that. I open my palm and wrap my fingers around her left boob. The feeling of her soft, plump, virgin breast was something that took me back a couple of years ago. It reminded me of the first time I groped Mia's breasts. I massage her breast a couple of times while moving to search for her nipple.

Oh wow… is the only response I could muster when I feel her erect nipple on my palm. She is enjoying this, right? Her erect nipple means she likes this, right? Yeah, guess it was my job to help her, giving her the most pleasure I can. I move my other hand toward her tank top and slip the laces down her shoulders. I pinch the upper tank top and slip down her chest, exposing her chest to the whole world.

I gulp the moment I see her breasts escape their confinement. Even in the dark environment, I could clearly see her erect nipples, like a flag on top of a mountain. Both of my hands move to their respective nipples, pinching it between my index fingers and my thumbs. I look at her face, waiting for any kind of reaction, the only things that came out are a bunch of quiet moans. She is enjoying this. I tightened my pinch on her nipples, twisting them clockwise and counterclockwise, pulling them up-down-right-left and tried to milk her. Her moans grew rapidly and became more and more stimulating as the time went on. SHIT! IT'S ONLY MAKING ME HARDER!

I turn my head toward Elizabeth, she and I have a more sexual relationship than me and Saya. Time to test your breast, grandma. I didn't waste my time like I did with Saya, both of my hands worked fast to slip her shirt down her body. Her C-cup chest jumped out and I immediately massaged them. Even when she was 50 years old, her breasts weren't saggy. It also feels kind of new, maybe because nobody had touched them in years. Her erect nipples weren't as grand as Saya, but the moans she produced were more experienced in giving me excitement than Mia's and Saya's. A widow is really amazing.

There are two pairs of nice tits in front of me. It would be a waste to just let them air out and not do anything. And I wouldn't be fair to the other one if I only focus on one pair of breasts. Guess it's time to use my mouth.

I use my hands on Elizabeth's breasts while sucking on Saya's. The moans they emitted from their mouth weren't loud but it was still very erotic. I occasionally bite Saya's nipple between my teeth, pulling them, sucking them hard, nibbling on her breast and wetting the hill with my saliva. Her moans were absolutely beautiful and gorgeous for a virgin, can't wait to do the same with Elizabeth. I change the role once every 5 minutes, my hands moving to Saya's breast whilst my mouth bit on Elizabeth's nipple and sucked on them. I feel a wet sticky liquid in my pants, indicating that I had cum a couple of times because of the sensation on my mouth, hands and ears. I continue my play until the clock strikes 0200 AM.

Now, how am I supposed to explain this to both of them? Sorry I was horny and decided to molest both of you without your consent… Yeah like hell I could say that… You know what? I am going to go with the classic, you move a lot and accidently lower your clothes. Don't worry, I didn't suck or play on them…

Yeah, let's do that… Time to make that more believable for them. I open my shirt and lay it over Saya's chest. I open my T-shirt that was under my shirt and lay it on top of Elizabeth, covering her exposed breast from anyone. Yeah, this plan doesn't have a hole in it at all, no sir! Sometimes my genius is almost frightening…

Now it's time to wait… In this cold bus… Without any cloth covering my upper body… Fuck….

My body starts shivering the moment I notice the cold air. Damn it! Why is the world punishing me for molesting two women while they are sleeping!? That was sarcasm by the way.

"Sigh…" I just accept that I will be freezing cold for another 4 hours. I whipped out my phone and wasted my time on the internet, trying to find something interesting but got distracted by short 15 second videos on Youtube and before I knew it, the sunlight was shining through the front window, illuminating the inside of the bus. I scan on Saya's and Elizabeth's chest, fixing my cloth to fully conceal their breasts.

I looked at the clock, it was 0524 AM, I should try waking them up. I have to wake Elizabeth first because she would be blushing like crazy if Saya she's her in her current condition.

I carefully shake Elizabeth's shoulder, trying to shake her body but not too rough so that my T-shirt would fall down. "Eliz, time to wake up…"

"Mmmmmmm….." A little purr escaped her mouth. Damn this kitten! I suddenly held on to my T-shirt the moment she stretched her body. Her stretch would've been very tempting if it was her shirt that was covering her breasts and not mine. She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was a naked me, stretching my hand toward her body. "…what are you doing?"

"…you move your body so much when you're asleep that your shirt slips down your shoulders. So I have to use my T-shirt to cover your chest." I said rather quickly like a robber being chased by the police.

"…" she silently looked down on the end of my arm. She let out a long sigh and replaced my hand by holding on to my T-shirt. She got up and shot me a lecherous stare. "Did you enjoy the view?"

"Yes, but I didn't touch it or anything…."

She raised one of her eyebrows at me. One of her hands went inside and I could see it rummaging on her chest area. "If you didn't do anything other than looking, then what is this?" She said, bring out her fingers that were wet from my saliva.

"…your sweat?"

"Sure Igo, sure~~" She smiled at me rather mischievously. She gives me a light peck on my cheek. "Wait here for a little bit, okay. I am going to take a bath." She said as she fixed her shirt. I stretch my hand waiting for her to return my T-shirt back to me. "I said wait, didn't I?" I nodded with a puzzled look and she just left with my T-shirt toward the back of the bus. Wait my T-shirt!? What the fuck is she going to do with my T-shirt!?

Ugh whatever… She is already too far away for me to grab her and I don't want to wake everybody up by screaming at her, guess all I can do is wait. In the meantime, Saya is still sleeping soundly. I should wake her up because we are supposed to be near the port already.

"Saya… Saya… It's time to wake up." I whisper to her while gently shaking her body. Her free breasts jiggle around like a water balloon under my shirt. I have to be honest, her jiggling boobas make me want to grope them. "Hey Saya, come on now! It's already morning."

"Mmmmmmmmmm! Fine…" Saya suddenly gets up, making me lag behind and can't hold the shirt to cover her breasts. Her breasts jiggle in front of me up and down. Thank you for the early breakfast Saya… Wait no! I need to cover her! I quickly pick up my shirt and cover her upper body. "Hmmm? What is it?"

"You move a lot when you sleep last night and your tank top slips off your shoulders so I have to use my shirt to cover you."

"Ah!" She took over my hand role to hold my shirt. "Thank you Igo! Did you take a peek?" Her shy face was hella cute. It smitten my heart and almost made me forget that I actually have a girlfriend. I shake my head, trying to preserve my innocence in her mind. "Do you want to?"

Not gonna lie, some part of me just wants to scream 'YYYYEEEESSSS!' but another part of me wants to say 'Yes!' so in conclusion. "Yes."

She giggled at me, probably from the expression I am making right now. She slowly opens the shirt, showing me the plumps and nipples that I massaged last night. I want to squeeze her breasts and suck on her nipples some more but the morning sun is already up, I don't want to risk someone seeing me milking her. "So how was it?"

"Thank you for the meal and it's probably best if you hide it now. Don't want people to see it right?" She looked at me before giggling again. She fixed her tank top and wore my shirt? *Inhale* Sigh… guess I am not getting my shirt back too. Karma never forgets.

"Igo, why are you naked?" Saya asked me with an innocent face. Saya, darling, you're wearing my shirt.

"Because he gave it to me." Elizabeth suddenly came up from behind me wearing my T-shirt. "Here Igo, I believe this is yours." She threw me her old T-shirt. Wait, which one of these is more expensive? I mean, thanks for giving me your T-shirt but you also took mine so I should really think which one of these is more pricey than the other. Well, it beats shivering cold in this bus. I wore her shirt and took a deep sniff when my head was inside of it. It smells like her. "Pervert." Elizabeth whispers teasingly. I smiled smugly at her, lifted her T-shirt up in front of my nose and took a deep breath. "Ahahahaha… How lucky am I to have a pervert as my subordinate."

Elizabeth returns to her seat but she is now more leaning toward us rather than a couple days ago. It's one of the proofs that we have become closer as we spend days after days, stuck together. We casually return to our daily routine of talking nonsense with Elizabeth occasionally commenting on us. We talk, talk, tease and play and before we know it, the forest had changed from a thick natural wood forest to a more man-made one filled with coconut, defense tower, radar, defense bunkers, sea walls, defense artilleries and street lights. Elizabeth said we would be driving for a week and it's already been 7 days, which means we are close.

"There it is." Elizabeth exclaimed as she pointed forward. Me and Saya turned our heads toward where she was pointing. It was the sea, bright blue and sunny. If I have to say for myself, it's a perfect beach day, but we aren't here for that. We are here for what is docked on that beach. Rows of warships, each different in size lining up while proudly showcasing their main gun. Next to those ships are the dormitory, dark blue colored box shaped buildings almost like a shoe box, all tightly packed to use the most available space as possible. I recognize those buildings as they were almost the same size and structure as the one I used when I first enlisted in the army.

We passed the gate and the walls and our eyes were greeted by a bustling camp with hundreds of people going here and there. All of them were wearing navy uniforms but most of them are like us, newly redeployed or newly enlisted personnel that have no idea what they are going to do. Most of them were following a sort of teacher or guide like how Elizabeth was to us.

"Guess we are the last to arrive." Elizabeth commented to no one in particular. Guess she was muttering to herself. Our bus drove for 5 minutes before reaching a parking spot and park there. "Let's go men! Don't do anything foolish! Follow me!" Elizabeth screamed at everyone. She grabbed my arm and pulled me. Wait! I picked my bag, grabbed Saya's hand and pulled her with me. Both of us exit the bus behind Elizabeth and without wasting a single minute, Elizabeth guides us to a big dark green tent.

"Welcome Ma'am!" The people inside the tent immediately stood up and saluted Elizabeth the moment she entered the tent. Inside the tent, there are 3 people, a man and two women. There are three traditional wooden chairs and a single long wooden table. On one side of the table is a huge pile of documents and papers, I manage to peek a bit on a paper and I see a photo with a light description of the person next to the photo. Perhaps those papers are filled with the newly enlisted descriptions and photos.

She pulled me forward. "The uniform for our batch." Wait, I am not the only one. I immediately pull Saya forward and stop her next to me.

"Yes ma'am!" A navy sailor picks up a bunch of papers, searches for our description and clothes sizes, examines it before handing me and Saya our uniforms from big aluminum boxes behind her. "Changing room is on the back." She said while pointing behind her with her thumb. I move my head to the side to look behind her. There are five changing rooms behind her and every single one of them was covered by a thick brown blanket.

"Don't be slow." Elizabeth whispered to me before leaving the tent. I hear her screaming outside, probably at the members of our convoys. Me and Saya walk toward different changing rooms and change our clothes as quickly as we can. Elizabeth was serious and I don't want to get on her bad side and I assume Saya was thinking the same thing as me. The uniform we are wearing is a dark uniform consisting of long pants and a short sleeved shirt. Both the pants and shirt have a bunch of pockets sewn to them. There is a name tag sewn onto my right chest on top of the right chest pocket. It didn't take long for us to finish changing. We both managed to exit the changing room at the same time. I look at Saya, wondering whether they have a different version for man and woman and I see her wearing the same kind of uniform as me. Guess there isn't any different at all, except the chests area.

We exchanged greetings with the persons that were being given the uniforms just like us earlier. "That is the exchange rooms, behind those blankets." I said to them and they just nodded and moved along their way to the changing rooms after they checked their uniform.

Me and Saya exit the tent and Elizabeth tells us to make a line and wait for the others. Elizabeth was serious but there's also a relaxed atmosphere around her. Is it because we are close? Probably, as much as she likes to deny it, our relationship would probably change how we see and act toward each other even in the line of duties. Not that I hate it, I hope her reputation didn't get tainted because of me. It seriously put another burden on me to not fuck things up because it is not going to be just my good name alone that got tainted.

We wait for an hour before all of the members of our convoy have changed into their outfit and line up behind us. Elizabeth told us to count out loud to count our numbers. There were 379 people. A pretty low number of people if you ask me, but nonetheless it was the number we could muster for the redeployment from where we were. "Guess that is all. Follow me." Elizabeth said before walking toward the beach. All of us follow her behind, walking ever so slowly while looking at our surroundings. We passed tents after tents each with different contents. There are some of them that were sheltering a bunch of ammunition, rations, clothes, and a bunch of boxes that I presume were either primary goods or whatever the navy needs are.

I walk absentmindedly and before I know it, I have reached the port and in front of me is a giant battleship with two quadruple turrets, one on the stern side of the ship and one in the front, and a smaller double turret on the front. The second armaments weren't as grand as the primary but god damn aren't they dreadful to look at if it was pointing at you. I have no idea what class battleship this is but it sure is intimidating to look up close and yet I was awestruck to its beauty that my mouth is gaping wide. Saya giggled at me and inserted her index finger inside my mouth, teasingly touching my bottom and upper lips. I slowly closed my mouth with Saya's hand still inside and in the end I was sucking on her finger. We stop doing that the moment we feel Elizabeth's deadly gaze on us.

"Everyone," She said rather sternly while gazing dagger at me specifically. Okay, it wasn't me, grandma. Saya was the one who started it. "walk through the walkway and board the ship one by one." Elizabeth said to us as she was standing in front of a bridge. After making sure that everyone was here, Elizabeth without a word walked on the bridge to the ship and all of us naturally followed after her.

Because it took a couple of minutes for us to walk through the walkway to the ship, my mind calmed down and finally I was able to focus on something else. The first thing it focused on was the strong smell of salt in the air. "Ugh…" I grumble to myself when I feel a headache striking me. The smell of salt is nauseating to me, probably because it had been years since the last time I had been near a beach or a salty body of water.

"Are you okay?" Saya asked me. Her concern expression was beautifully nice and almost acted like a placebo for my headache.

"Yeah, I just need to adapt a bit. Don't worry, it'll be quick." I whispered to her trying to muster the most reassuring voice I could. I glance forward and see Elizabeth peeking at me. I smiled at her and shook my head to indicate that I was okay. I hope she understands what my shaking head means because I could only see her frown grow deeper before she turned her head forward and slowed down her walking pace. "Don't worry Eliz, I am okay. I am serious." I whisper to her but I don't get any reaction from her. I hope she can hear me.

We finally reached the deck of the ship. There were, I don't know, hundreds of sailors all lined up on both sides, making a small pathway for us. All of the sailors lift their hand to salute the moment Elizabeth walks down the pathway. Each of their faces are, how do I say this, rather sturdy? Even the woman's face looked like they were made out of steel or something.

"Okay everyone lined up!" Elizabeth screamed and everyone, and I mean everyone including the saluting sailors and the newly enlisted, straightened up their body and lined up in front of her. "Everyone that is posted on the bridge, go to your post and tell all the members of the task force that we will be going in 30 minutes!"

""YES MA'AM!"" 20 Sailors scream in unison before walking off to the structure of the battleship.

"The other who doesn't have an immediate job, take the new enlisted to a tour of our ship. Don't use this chance just to get close to the opposite sex! I don't want any of you to use your position to take advantage of the newly enlisted! Got that!?" She screamed and the remaining sailors could only say yes, I don't know out of fear or what. The experienced sailors diffuse the atmosphere and initiate a couple of talks with the newly enlisted. Some of them went straight to the point of taking a tour while some had a small chat first. "Igo, Saya, both of you with me."

"Okay." I walk forward toward her and stop the moment her brow furrows at me. "What is it?" I asked her, confused.

"Are you seasick kid?"

"No, I am not. It is just this is the first time for me to go to the beach after years spent in the dusty earth." I said to her, once again reassuring her to just let me be. "Give me a couple of hours and I will be okay."

"I'll give you two hours and if your condition doesn't get better, I'll drag you to the infirmary." She said to me flatly, even though I could hear a slight concern in her tone. "Let's go to your room first."

"Okay." I followed her as she was walking and I grabbed Saya's wrist. "By the way, why did we immediately board the ship without any sort of preparation?"

"Learning from experts is the best course of action we currently have." She said in a matter of fact way. "I know you understand what I mean, right?"

"Damn straight!"

XxX-XxX

"Six months and a couple of days after I was redeployed in the navy." I said to my phone in a harsh voice. "The conditions are hard. Fresh waters are getting rarer and rarer the longer I survive. I don't know how long I could keep my sanity at bay." I swiped the cold sweat off my forehead. I can't believe I survived this long to be honest with you.

"What are you doing?"

I lifted my head, that voice… That's Elizabeth's voice… but where is she? I scanned the deck searching for her, but I didn't even see a single strand of her hair. "Oh no! I am losing it! I just heard the hag voice out of nowhere! For everyone who finds this recording! Please tell my mother that I am sorry! And could you-Atatatatata! Ow!"

"Again, what are you doing?" Elizabeth asked me while pinching my ear from behind me. Shit she attacked me where I was the weakest!

"Ow! Ow! Stop!" I cry out in pain. "I'll explain it to you so please stop!"

"Yeah ma'am, you should stop." A brown person next to me said in my defense. His name is Gandhi and from what I heard, he has 9 children. His short spiky dark brown hair was complemented by somewhat orange pupils. He has your typical friendly face and attitude with a tiny bit of mischief sprinkle on top of him. He and I have been friends for the last three weeks and got to say, there is a reason why most people are fond of him. He is easy to talk to, understands personal space and is the go to person whenever you have some problem you need to talk to.

"Gandhi, if you interrupt again, I swear I'll lock you down inside the boiler room!" Hah, is that the best threat you could muster grandma? Gandhi, wouldn't be afraid of those kind of-

"Yes ma'am, I am sorry!" You bitch! You traitor! How could you betray me like this, Gandhi?! I thought we were friends!

"Now young man…." Elizabeth pulled me closer to her. "Let's go, we got some part of the ship we need to check." She pulled me by the ear out the hatch like door. I hear giggles echoing from the bridge, probably laughing at my pathetic state.

"Grandma stop it! My ear is going to pop off!"

"Then will you explain, what were you doing?" Ah…. She finally let out my ear. Although it was still stinging from pain, it was feeling significantly better than when Eliz was pulling on it.

"I was recording my voice, woman!" I said to her proudly. "What are we going to do when we suddenly disappear leaving this battleship alone? Huh? What are we going to leave behind as a clue when a strange entity attacks and erases all of us from this ship?!"

"… You need to stop interacting with Star…" She murmured as she facepalm herself. *SMACK*

"What are you talking about? Do you know where we are right now?" Woman, how could she not know where we are right now, she has gone through the same place over and over as her patrol route. "We are in the strait of Malacca. The place where the tragedy of SS Ourang Medan happened!"

"Sigh…" Elizabeth facepalmed herself again. *SMACK*

"Star told me how creepy the stories were! How the victim's bodies were found."

"Sigh…" *SMACK*

"How the ship exploded the moment they tried to tow it to land!"

"Sigh…" *SMACK*

"Don't you see! I want to make voice notes in case the same thing happens to us."

"Sigh…." *SMACK*

"Does that hurt, smacking your face so many times?" I asked her after seeing her forehead turn bright red.

"Yes, very much…" She answered before pinching both of my ears and pulling them harder than before. "I FORBID YOU TO TALK WITH STAR EVER AGAIN!"

"OWOWOWOWO! That hurt, you hag!" I cried out and try to pry her arms away. "Stop that!" I finally able to release my ears from her torture after slapping her arms away. The stinging feeling is back on both of my ears. I bet if I have a mirror right now, I could see my red ears throbbing out of pain. "It hurts, grandma!"

"Ugh… I can't believe I trust you to be the next captain of this battleship." She disappointedly shook her head. "Whatever. Let's go. We need to patrol the ship." She turned her body and walked away from me. I quickly followed her with a tablet in my hand, being her assistant, learning from her how to manage the ship. Elizabeth's teaching method is showing more and telling less, that's why I am almost always physically close with her. This teaching method wasn't just being practiced by me only, a lot of redeployed and newly enlisted people were also doing the same thing.

Currently, I have spent months on this ship and doing multiple missions which mostly consist of escorting a batch of container ships from the Bay of Bengal, through the strait of Malacca and dock at the southeast Dragon Empery before returning with another batch of container ships. The type of battleship that I am currently boarding is the mass-produced version of the KGV-class battleship. You may wonder what is the difference between the mass-produced version and the normal version of KGV right? All I can tell is that the mass-produced used less materials, there are some parts of the blueprint that they change to make it easier and faster to build the ship and it's heavily automated. Like really heavily automated. The two quadruple turrets, single double turrets and second primary are mostly manned by two people, a gunner and their apprentice, and on two shifts, night and day meaning it took 4 people to manned each gun. The reloading, elevation and turning mechanism has been automated, that the gunner's job list is to aim, follow the captain command, teach their apprentice and fire the turrets.

I glanced out the window of the superstructure and saw the stern main turret rotating clockwise like a carousel in an amusement park. Elizabeth noticed me glancing and seeing where my eyes were going. "Good grief…" She mumbled to herself as she massaged her forehead. "Igo, remind me to punish Hoggan after this…." I couldn't contain my giggle as I edited her schedule.

Oh yeah, one of the things that I didn't notice when I boarded this battleship is that it had an 80 Side Launch System or the SLS, 40 on each side. This system allowed the ship to fire rockets from the side of the ship either from a vertical wall or a diagonal one. You can't notice them from the outside like the Vertical Launch System but there are panels on the side of the superstructure that are actually the SLS. Every time we want to fire the rockets, the SLS would emerge from the side with the rockets already loaded, the SLS would rotate toward its targets whatever they are on the front, back or even up. The only problem about these systems is that we can't fire the rocket to a target that is right next to us, we could program the rockets to turn around but it would take longer than just shooting them with the turrets.

We walk down the stairs toward the bowel of the ships where the ammunition and the engines of the ships are. This place is where most of our men are stationed. The boilers of the ships have been replaced from the traditional boilers that used the product of crude oil to hydro power stations that produced electricity that was used to turn water into steam and turn the turbines. Because of this new piece of modern technology as the propulsion, this battleship was able to reach the maximum speed of 50 knots and the cruising speed of 30 knots. This piece of modern technology also needs a lot of upkeep and these Hydro power stations are and will always be the most monitored piece of equipment in this ship. Any wrong move or reading and it could paralyze the whole ship and make us a sitting duck.

Elizabeth and I talked to the head engineer of this place. He was sitting in a viewing platform just above the power stations. The platform hosted 5 long tables each having three screens with a hundred of buttons and levers on them. Don't even ask me to say what each of them do, a single sight of those tables and my head is already throbbing in pain. "Is there anything wrong with the readings?"

"Not that I know off. I am ninety nine point nine percent sure that everything is okay." The head engineer answered Elizabeth's question. He pressed a couple of buttons and the screens in front of him showed different perspectives of the power stations and a hella lot of readings, consisting of ever changing diagrams and numbers. I shut my tired eyes and I think the head engineer saw me. "Do you want to learn this, Igo?"

"Show me some mercy, would ya?" I deny his invitation which he replies with a small laugh. He definitely knew that I was in pain just by looking at his screen. "Doubt I'll last for even a day in this place."

"And yet, she will make you the captain of this place. Your pain will only grow, man."

"That's enough. Let's go Igo." Elizabeth protested and immediately exited the room with a very audible footstep.

"Aaaahhh… you piss her off." I said to the head engineer, I heard his dry laugh behind me as I approached the door and exited the room. I quickly ran and caught up to Elizabeth, I don't want her to be angry at me. We both walked up a stair into the helicopter hangar.

The helicopter hangar was also used as the helipad. This hangar is situated behind the stern turret but under deck. Whenever we want to fly the helicopters, the ceilings of the hangar would open up sideways, making enough space for all of the helicopters to exit the hangars. Currently we have 5 multi-purpose helicopters and I see a bunch of people inspecting them. Guess they are making our job easier. We talked with the mechanics to check if there is something wrong with the helicopters and I am glad to announce that there is nothing wrong with helicopters. We say goodbye to the mechanics and walk up the stairs again to the deck.

The deck was made out of fireproof metal just like most of the ship. At first I was surprised that the deck didn't make any kind of sound when I jumped on them, I honestly expected it to make a loud Thunk noise like when you hit an empty barrel. Guess they used some sort of sound absorbing materials below the deck to deafen the sound. There are a bunch of people on the deck, mostly filled by people who were looking for fresh air and one of those people is Saya.

"Saya!" I called her name grumpily. She turned her head at me and waved her hand at me. "Why are you here? You're supposed to be sleeping. You are on the night shift right?"

"Ehehehehe… yeah." She laughed at me like a guilty child after her parent found out what she was doing. "Well, I was sleeping… but I woke up and I feel like having some fresh air on my face. You know what kind of feeling is that right? Beside…" She put her hands on her waist and pouted at me. "Why are you getting angry at me for? If we are talking about not sleeping when they are supposed to, aren't you even worse than me? Last night I saw you playing cards with the others until two AM!"

"She is right , you know?"

"Not now, old hag!" I snapped at her. "You are supposed to support me here! Your underling is not sleeping here when she's supposed to!"

"No! Grandma Elizabeth should punish you for the same reason as well!"

"Well—"

"Since when did you become this rebellious Saya?!"

"It's not fair that I am the only one who is being scolded! You're also at fault here!"

"Why you little!?" I grabbed her waist with both of my hands and started tickling her.

"Ahahahahahahaha! Stop! Ahahahahahahaha!" She laughed out loud as my fingers did their job. I pull her body closer to me until our chests touch. I then wrap my left arm around her back to lock her in place while my right hand is free to explore her waist. "Ahahahahaha! I am begging you! Stop! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I give up! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"There we go." I retreat my right hand and wrap around Saya's back. I tighten my hug around her and pull her even deeper in me. I took a deep breath, sniffing her aroma into my nose. "You smell nice."

"And so do you." She hummed quietly at me. She may be older but there wasn't much difference in our height so we can smell each other's necks when we hug.

"Okay both of you friends, it's time to separate from each other." Elizabeth's jealousy pushes us apart. "Come on Igo, we still have some things to check. Go bring Saya to her room first if you want to."

"Sure old hag…. you don't need to be jealous or anything. Ow!" Elizabeth pinched my waist in retaliation. Ugh… this grandma… I should plot my revenge for later and focus on putting Saya to sleep first. "Let's go Saya." I pull on Saya's wrist and walk with her and Elizabeth toward her room. She happily followed behind me while Elizabeth was just following behind us, crossing her arms in front of her.

The living compartments were just below the deck and above the storages and the machines. Because of the current technology, the amount of crew needed to operate this battleship is lower than the WW2 version of the ship, which also caused an expansion in the living compartments where each person got a single room instead of sleeping in a barrack with bunk beds. Each room has a bed, a bedside table, a wooden chair and a wardrobe. The doors are also so bland that it caused the most confusion for the newly deployed. This and the fact that the normal room feels kind of eerie is what motivates people to decorate their room to basically mark their territory. As we were walking down the hallway, I could see doors after doors, decorated by stickers, drawings, and posters from one end of the hallway to the other almost like a sign that said 'THIS IS MY ROOM'.

One of the most interesting doors was where a NSFW poster of an anime girl was on display. This room is where the '18+ dealer' sleeps and I couldn't deny nor confirm that I have been inside this room multiple times. Hey, that's a biological thing to do okay!? I couldn't help but glance at the poster whenever I walk in front of his room and this action causes me to be slapped by Elizabeth. "What was that old hag?!"

"Keep your eyes straight." She said to me with a little pout on her cheek. That pout would've smited my heart if I didn't know that this woman is a hag. I look at the other side toward Saya and see her glaring jealousy at me. If you don't want me to gaze at other people's boobies then why don't you show me yours?!

We continue to walk before we stop in front of Saya's room. Her door wasn't as decorated as the others in the hallway, just a small cluster of stickers on the upper right corner and all of those stickers looked like the stickers you got from children's snacks. I slowly opened the door and Saya's fragrance filled my nostrils almost immediately. "Your perfume is very strong, Saya."

"Ehehehehehehe, but you like it, don't you?" She happily said to me.

"Yeah kind of… Now go to sleep." I said to her, I closed the door after Elizabeth went inside the room. I put my right hand on Saya's back and pushed her toward the bed. She happily followed my lead and walked toward the bed, but instead of laying on the bed, she sat on the side of the bed. "Come on now, lay on the bed…" I commanded her rather confusedly.

"The pillow is too stiff! I want to use a softer pillow!" She cried like a spoiled child. Sigh… Good grief… I really spoiled her rotten.

"Okay, what do you want?" I asked her even though I already knew what she wanted.

"Your lap!" She cheerfully told me. She patted on the head-side of the bed with a high enthusiasm. Sigh… guess there is no choice. I walked up to her bed and crawled on her bed until I was perfectly placed on her bed. I straighten my legs and pat on my thighs, wordlessly saying to Saya to come here and lay down. She enthusiastically dived and hugged my left leg and lay her head on my left thigh. "It smells and feels so nice!"

"Calm down now." I said to her as I intimately stroke her hair. I hear her purring comfortably and I couldn't help but make a little smile on my face. I then turn my head to the grandma that is sitting on the wooden chair. "I still have a free leg you know…" I patted my right thigh. At first she showed me a surprised face but in a quick change of mind, her face turned to a pleasant smile. She walked toward the bed and lay beside Saya, hugging my right leg. Mind you that my knees are just below their breasts and it feels nice.

"Mmmmm… grandma! You're getting in my space!" Saya said almost like a small child. I stroke both of their heads slowly.

"It's okay, there's enough of me to share." I said to Saya. She hugged my thigh even tighter after I said that. "It's okay Saya. I am not going to abandon you for grandma or something."

"Huh, yeah right…." The grandma said sarcastically. "You're just happy that you have two beautiful flowers on your thighs right?"

"Yeah, 'flowers'. A spoiled flower and a withering flower." I said to them and I heard their giggle vibrating through my legs. "Now shuuush… Saya have to sleep now." I affectionately stroke their faces and move the hair that was covering their faces. They glanced up at me, happily smiling. I smiled back at her and pushed their head down.

Now that Saya is trying to sleep and Elizabeth is resting, I could finally get some alone time. I opened up my tablet and drowned myself in the content inside my tablet. This battleship is officially named MP-KGV-0178. MP stands for Mass produced, KGV is the ship class and 0178 is the ship number as this is the 178th KGV class the navy built. I don't know how much they built the KGV-class but just by looking at mine, there's probably more than 200 or so.

I don't think I need to explain that this is a flagship of a fleet if the rear admiral is on board. We are part of the First Malaccan Fleet and just like I said earlier, our main task is to guard and escort container ships whenever they are going through the strait of Malacca. The fleet consisted of 3 Battleships, 10 Light Cruisers, 15 Heavy Cruisers, 30 Destroyers and a bunch of small ships consisting of frigates and corvettes. Those ships are also heavily automated just like this one, only needing a handful of people to operate them. Hell, the corvettes and the frigates are basically giant Remote Control Vehicles at this point.

You may wonder why are we escorting these ships in the world busiest strait? No, it's not because of pirates, that would've been easier for us to deal with. It's because most of the people that used to live here are dead. Komodo Republic, Kingdoms Union and Merlion Domain have all but collapsed under the invasion. The Komodo Republic was the biggest archipelago nation, the Kingdoms Union was a maritime nation and The Merlion Domain was a city state, you could guess how badly all of these factors stack up when the enemy came from the sea. The Merlion Domain was quickly overwhelmed by the ridiculous number of enemies coming at them and, I don't know whether it was the Merlion Domain people who did it or the enemy but the whole island sinks a couple of meters under the sea level. At the present time, you could only see the surviving high-rises, looking like they come forth from the bottom of the sea. The Kingdoms Union on Borneo island couldn't do much but retreat to the forest as the enemy lands on their shore whilst the Peninsula side of Kingdoms Union got cut off from mainland Asia after the enemy basically blitzkrieg their way from the beach. The Komodo Republic had the worst of it, their big archipelago nation meant that the enemy could basically land anywhere and everywhere. Most of their big islands crumbled to dust when the enemy attacked from every single shore of the islands. I don't know much about the smaller islands though, probably having the same fate.

The situation wasn't exactly better off around the world. Everything on, slightly above and below the equator are basically gone, like dusty dust gone. The South America Continent is burning, well I guess South America is always burning, but this time, the one that burns is the human settlement and not the trees. The whole continent of Africa shines brighter than before when we see them from space, probably because the enemy tanks are emitting bright light like an angler fish, also did you see what I did there, Africa shines brighter? Because Africa is hot and the sun shines bright there? Eh? Got it? No? Okay. The whole African continent is basically overrun by the enemy. The Australia Continent has the same fate as Africa just with more deadly animals and plants. The whole southeast Asia and Oceania are dead since most of them consist of islands where the enemy is the strongest.

Good grief… humanity got absolutely owned huh? From 7.7 Billion populations worldwide to a mere 2.6 Billion people. Never have humanity numbers go so low from a non-natural disaster, but then again, I don't know anything about the enemy at all, for all I know they could be an advanced civilization from the deepest part of the sea, seeking vengeance because humans polluted the world. I wouldn't even be surprised if they are actually an ancient species being mutated by nuclear waste or something.

"Sigh…" An exhausted sigh escaped my mouth. I put down my tablet and slump down my shoulders. Good God, it's kind of hard to think positively when the fate of humanity is still undetermined. I believe if the enemy decides to do an invasion like they did on the first time they appeared, humanity wouldn't stand a chance. God damn it… I wonder what is the enemy's motivation to attack humanity? If they want to exterminate us, they could just do it a million times over. It's like they are toying with us just like a human playing with ants.

I shake my head and inhale a deep breath. There's no use trying to predict the enemy's mind, it's the higher ups job to do that. All I need to focus on is the task in front of me, which are these two beautiful flowers. The corners of my lip curled up, forming a warm smile on my face as I slowly stroked their hair. Couldn't believe I got two beautiful women sleeping on my legs while another one out they're going home, is this a dream? I hope it's not. Better check on them.

My hands move down from their head toward their faces. My fingers slowly caress their faces, like I was examining a masterpiece. The sensation of their smooth, soft skin on my fingers was an affirmation to me that this is not a dream. My hands opened up until the palms of my hands touched their cheeks. It feels nice and calming. Such pretty faces on a gorgeous body. I retreat my hands back toward their heads and stroke their hair again. Their purring and soft breathing heal me mentally, I hope we can stay like this forever.

Really, dead flag again? I am really talented at raising them, huh?

"What a perverted old lady I have here."

She is like that lonely nerd that finally finds a friend that she can talk to.

"I am going to report you to the police."

I start humming to get my mind off Elizabeth, it's the least I could do.

"We are dead and so are the container ships behind us. Period."
