"Alright. All of these projects are fine and dandy." Stella casually reviewed the project list. I'm glad that I didn't cause her any trouble. "We should try to reuse some of the materials from all the houses. One of these houses must have a water pump or something, right?"
"You want to organize a scavenger team?"
"Yes. I'm sure the sakuran won't mind. It's a bunch of abandoned houses anyway." This woman… seriously… sigh… she's my superior so I better follow her order. "The houses are still standing so that means that the materials are still in good shape."
"Sigh… Monty, can I ask you to create several scavenger teams?"
"I'll try…" Monty looks troubled and sound confused as fuck. Understandable as this is probably the first time Azur Lane has a scavenging team or fleet. Do warships have capability to effectively scavenge for material?
"Hey darling~~ Can you stop paying attention to that slut~~? I'm your girlfriend, remember?" I'm in the slut's office right now, Eugen. And also I need to work.
"After work, darling. So Stella, about the fleets that Enterprise is forming up…"
"Yeah… I need to see them for myself first before giving my sign of approval. I assume she is on her mass-produced ship?"
"Probably. Call her first to make sure that she isn't nearby." I have not seen her since the meeting this morning. Ah… Jeez. I hope I didn't force a difficult task on her. "If you need me, I'm going to walk around and see how the girls are doing." I miss my Sheffy!
"I'm doing fine~~" Of course you are, happy Eugen.
"You know what Eugen, I think I need your help so stay here." Stella fights back. For once, the succubus Eugen gets attacked for not keeping her mouth shut. She is usually so thoughtful about her words, was that a once in a lifetime slip of her true emotion? "I believe we can work great together and there are several things that I want to advise you on. You know, since I'm Igo's ex-girlfriend!" You were the one who bit the bait. You can't be angry at anyone other than yourself.
"I'll be going now." Time for me to make my tactical retreat. Don't want to get involved in whatever is going to happen. Sorry Monty! I'll make it up tonight! "Bye~~ Bye~~ See you darlings later~~" I run toward the door and exit the room. "Sigh…" I let out a sigh of relief and leaned my body against the door just in case any of the girls tried to get out and capture me.
"My lovely master? Is there something wrong?" Bullfast? "You look tired." It's not just the look, Bullfast. I am tired. Will this mean that my next secretary is Eugen? Will Stella even allow it? "Is there perhaps something that I can help you with?" Can I cum in you? I need something to destress myself.
"Can you keep me company? I'm going to walk around and see how the others are doing."
"Anything for you, my love." Then be my wife. That's an order! I won't take 'no' as an answer!
"Alright, let's go. I don't want to be here when the bomb explodes." I grab Bullfast's hand and with her by my side, exit the school building. The outside is filled with girls doing all sorts of things. Pulling out the overgrown grasses, cleaning the pool, carrying building materials, planting some flowers, sweeping the field off trash and many more.
"As you see my sweet cookie, the girls are doing fine." What with that nickname? It's not offensive or anything but it just took me by surprise. "Your compassion for us is truly admirable. It truly is. But please make sure that you take care of yourself before thinking about us."
"Belfast, I'm the master. I get to do what I want." And there's no one that can stop me. "You have no right to tell me that I can't worry about you. Remember your place, my maid." That sound rude as fuck but I mean well. I swear!
"Pfft!" Did I crack the uncrackable Bullfast? The perfect head maid almost burst out laughing. Her elegant image had just been ruined even though it already did ever since the beginning for me. "Fufufu~~ I guess you're correct, my cookie." Again with that weird nickname. I need some time to get used to it. "Then shall I start a revolution?"
"I beg your pardon?"
"Either you take care of yourself or I shall take care of you by force." The fuck does that mean?!
"Ugh… you're just a big dumb pervert. Stop acting like you actually think about anything other than pinning me down!"
"You're correct." Deny me, you stupid bitch! Don't agree with me!
"Commander~~~" This sweet older sister's voice can only come from one person. "Big sister misses you~~" Atago comes rushing toward me with her arms wide open. Like a dog seeing its favorite toy. "Mmmhh~~ I love you so much~~!" The big sister jumps at me and gives me a tight hug. I love the sensation of boobs pressing against my chest,
"Hello Atago, you smell as good as ever." Is it weird to greet people like that? It isn't, right? "How are you doing? Good, I hope?"
"Of course~~!"
"My master, what do I say about taking care of yourself first before others?" That I'm your master and anything I say goes? "My apologies miss Atago but my lovely master isn't doing well." I never said that!
"You're sick, my darling~~?" Are my ears deceiving me? Why am I hearing Eugen's voice from behind me? "Why didn't you tell me~~? I would gladly take care of you myself." I turn my head around and see the succubus at the edge of my eyes. How is she here? What happened to Stella?!
"What did you do to Stella, Eugen?"
"I don't know which should I be angry more, the fact that you care about some random woman more than me or that you think I'm evil enough to do something bad to that homewrecker?" You're my girlfriend, Eugen. You don't get angry at me. "As your punishment, you're going to accompany me on a date."
"Eh?! You both will be going on a date?!" You don't need to be so surprised, Atago. This is also my first time hearing it and you don't see me panicking around. "I can't allow you to go around with such a wicked woman." I agree. Beat her up, Atago.
"Ouchie~~ That hurts." You don't have a heart, you stupid actress. "Hmm… Sigh… Belfast and Atago, mind coming with me for a moment? There's something I need to talk to you that you both would love." Oh no… I don't think I'll like this.
The 3 women gather up and walk away from me. Stella, what have you done? What did Eugen do to you? Are you okay? Should I visit her? I know Stella very well and she wasn't happy with Eugen after what she did so seeing Eugen here is concerning.
"Kommandant~~" The 3 hot women returned back to me after having their little chat. "Everyone agreed to join us on our little date~~" Ugh… Eugen, you bitch!
"Seriously Eugen, what did you do?"
"Fufufu~~ Please change your outfit, my lovely liebling." A date with Atago, Belfast, and Eugen? Is Stella for real? "We meet again here in ten minutes, okay darling?" Eugen sneakily attacks my cheek with her lips before she hops away leaving me with a very wet cheek.
"Please look forward to your big sister's outfit, okay commander~~?" Atago's dating outfit, huh…
"My master, I shall bring out my most beautiful outfit that I own just for you." So you're going naked? I believe it would be troublesome if you do so, Belfast.
"Alright, I'll try using something that looks nice." Which is probably a bad idea since I don't have a good fashion sense. I wave my hands at the girls as I return back inside the school building and climb onto the 2nd story. I get into my room and immediately dig into the pile of clothes in my wardrobe.
Ugh… I don't know what to wear. I'm going on a date with 3 hotties for fuck sake! I need to get my shit together and pick a good outfit! I can't let them down! For once in my lifetime, I need to put work where things really matter! Ugh! I don't know what to do! I randomly grab a T-shirt, a button-up shirt, and jeans. This is mostly my clothing items that are available to me. I picked a dark navy button-up shirt, black T-shirt, and blue jeans. I put these clothing items on me and then look at myself in the mirror.
"Ugh…" Someone please help me. I look completely normal which is bad when I'm surrounded by beauties. I would look completely undeserving to stand beside them if I looked like this. "Guh…" Now that I have time to properly look at myself in the mirror, I question whether I can fit in better with the sakuran people. The burn scar on my left body is still somewhat there. It hasn't healed completely so you can trace which part is the burned one and which one wasn't. I heard sakuran has fair skins with no blemishes at all so I surely would stand out like a sore thumb. Combine that with my ordinary wardrobe… Yeah, people will think I'm the girls' brother or something. "Sigh… Maybe that's for the better." Just in case, I dig into my wardrobe once again to see if I have anything more stylish. Nope. Fuck.
After the disappointing stare down with the mirror, I close my wardrobe and grab the essentials which are my phone and my wallet. It hasn't been 10 minutes but I think it's better for me to be there before the 10 minutes mark. I walk out of my room and travel down the hall and down the stairs. Should I check on Stella? I would if I'm a good boyfriend but I'm currently Eugen's boyfriend… Sorry Stella, but you bring this upon yourself. I blitz my way and leave the building. I don't know what we're about to do but I'm looking forward to it. I don't remember the last time I went on a date. I don't know how the dating world has evolved from back in my days.
Why did you say that like you're an old man?
Oh yeah, I brought him too. Just in case. Dunno what kind of nonsense I'll get myself into and I would like to have him with me as a walking wikipedia.
"My master! Thank you for waiting." Huh? I was taken aback the moment the head maid came walking at me. Holy shit! She is gorgeous! I have said that line many times before but can you fault me when I'm surrounded by nothing but beautiful girls! "Ah! I guess I should start calling you 'my cookie'." You can call me whatever you want as long as you become my wife. My head maid is wearing a shoulderless brown sweater that gives a generous view of her cleavages, black pencil skirt, stockings, black high heels, baggy red beret, a black ribbon just above her left ear, and a red shawl [1]. "My cookie, please close your mouth. The girls are sweeping the field and you might swallow some dust."
"HMPH!" I quickly gave myself an uppercut right at my jaw. Fuck! That hurt but I'm also so flustered that the pain quickly goes away. "Uuhh…" You know the feeling of inadequacy? Yeah, I'm feeling that so hard right now. My head maid is wearing what can only be described as clothes made by Aphrodite herself while I'm wearing clothes you could find in a pawn shop or a garage sale. We don't match at all! FUCK! I want to cry!
"Commander~~" No! Atago is coming to make me feel more like a piece of shit!
"Eh?" Was the only word that exited my mouth. Atago is wearing a sailor uniform with black frilly short skirt, white sweater, black collar, black stockings, and black loafers shoes [2]. Wait! Why is Atago wearing that? Are we spying on actual highschoolers?! Isn't that a crime?
"So~~ How is big sister's outfit?"
"I'm confused. Are we going on a date or going to an actual highschool?" I mean, if Stella told me to then sure. I can just blame it on her when the police asked me but I can't do that if Eugen was the one who wanted to. "Won't we get into trouble?"
"MMouuu~~ Commander you big dummy~~" Huh? "Big sister is wearing this just for you, you know? We're not going to an actual high school." I see… "Is this not to your liking?" Don't attack me with puppy eyes! And don't flap around your dog ears! I'm weak to them!
"Of course you are." I can't say anything when I'm wearing an NPC outfit. Should I start taking note of RPG characters' outfits? They look super rad and I honestly think I should too when I'm going around. Doesn't it fit when a rad man is dating a beautiful girl? "I'm not blind, Atago. I know a stunning girl when I see one."
"Ah~~ You little lady killer." Little? I'm already an adult, Atago. "Who taught you how to talk to women like that?" Alice.
"Oh my~~ It seems that I'm the last one." Now it's time for the most perverted being in the entire universe, the succubus Eugen. "Hallo, mein Liebling." Oh my god… The perverted succubus is wearing a dress. Not your everyday average dress, this one looks classy. Black thin dress that hugs and emphasizes her ever lovely curvy body that teases the onlookers by being open in some parts such as her legs right from the waist bone and the side of her boobs. I completely miss the other small details such as black high heels and the fact that she replaced her hair ornaments with ribbons [3]. "Oh my~~ I assume that this dress suits your taste, mein Liebling?" Is my jaw open again? It's open again, isn't it?
"Can I be blunt and ask where we are going?" I'm wearing an NPC outfit, Belfast wearing a proper outing outfit, Atago is wearing a highschool outfit, and Eugen is wearing a party dress. The fuck are we an adventurer party or something? "We're a mismatch of outfit."
"What are you talking about? We look great." Shut up, Eugen. You know damn well what I'm talking about. "Come now, the more time we spend here the less time we have for our date." Eugen wasn't waiting for any answer, she quickly grabbed my hand and pulled me away. Here we go again!
"Ah! Servant! Where are you going?" Oh hey Elizabeth! Fancy meeting you here.
"Stella told me to buy some stuff so I need to GET GOING. BYE!" I was practically screaming at the last part as Eugen kept dragging me farther and farther away from the highschool. Belfast and Atago are following right behind us.
"Comrade commander? Where are you going?"
"Belorussiya! I'm going on a shopping trip for a moment! Talk to Stella if you HAVE SOMETHING TO REPORT!" Eugen! Let me talk to the girls for fuck sake!
"Uuugghh… This is too slow."
"Eugen, don't!" Like usual, the girl does not care about my opinion. Eugen crouch down and scoop me up in a princess carry. "I can walk dummy."
"I'll let you walk once we get to the city. For now, let me enjoy you to my heart's content." You selfish bitch. With me in her arms, Eugen hasten her pace and starts running. She takes a right almost as if she was trying to stay away from the main road where all the girls are. She takes several more turns but her direction is still consistently north. We go over a broken bridge quite easily with Eugen's physical prowess and then continue running north before suddenly taking a turn toward the east on a cross-intersection. "There it is."
"Can I walk now?" Like Eugen said, the train station is right in front of us. Unlike the other buildings around here, this place looks somewhat maintained. 'Somewhat' is the key here. There are still signs that this building has gone through some shit indicated by some rubles and burn marks but for the most part, it looks better than its peers.
"Sure."
"Eugen! What's the big idea?" Atago is understandably angry at the slut. She looks extremely adorable when she is angry. I want to pet her so bad!
"He's just too slow." You're just too fast. "Let's go." The 4 of us walk into the train station.
"Let big sister handle this." Atago walks up to the ticketing machine and does her magic. A couple of beeps and boops later she came back. "All done!" I followed Atago to the gate and she let the scanner scan her phone which opened the gate. "Please, my commander." I walk past the gate and it immediately closes behind me. "It's big sister's turn." Atago opens the gate again and walks through. "Alright, let's wait for the train, my lovely commander."
"Hey bitch, you are forgetting someone?" Calm down, Eugen.
"Hmm~~" Like the perfect head maid that she is, Belfast scans her phone which opens the gate. "Shall we, my cookie?"
"Belfast, how about you help Eugen first?"
"Aww~~ You do love me." Don't cross me, Eugen. I'm just helping you to get this over with.
"Your wish is my command~~" Belfast once again scans her phone and lets Eugen through. Just in time as the speakers start blaring something in sakuran. If only I could understand them… WAIT!
"I forgot to bring my translator earpiece!" Fuck! The train is coming! I can hear it getting louder and louder. I can't believe I forgot something so important! AAAAGGGHHHH!
"Mou~~ Such a forgetful sweetie~~ Don't worry, big sister would be your personal translator." How do I say that I want to grope your boobs and fuck your sister in sakuran?
"Please do!" I may have watched anime but that doesn't mean I can speak sakuran. I would be at the mercy of Atago. "Uh…" The train comes rolling around as we have our chat. Its sleek shape brings out that sci-fi element of the design and the white color makes it look pure. The doors of the train open up and all of us enter the long tube.
The inside wasn't too noteworthy. A line of seats on either side of the train interior, handlebars on top, and storage compartment above the seat. It is extremely clean though and I can see some cleaning robots stationed in this particular train car. Each car probably has several of these too.
"Sweetie, come sit next to big sister." Since we're the only one that is and will be here, I wasn't particularly in a hurry to sit down but it seemed Atago wasn't sharing my thoughts.
"Uuuhh… Can I not explore this place first?" I use an innocent and child-like voice to ask Atago. I know she is weak to this since she always calls herself big sister. "Please~~" Time to bring out the puppy's eyes. She used it against me now it's my time to use it on her!
"Alright then~~" AHAHAHA! All according to plan. Atago is far too weak for my charm! After getting Atago's permission, I started to walk down the length of the car. Since our car is right next to the engine, I only have one way to go.
"I'll follow him." I can hear Eugen's footsteps behind me as I walk down the car. She is supposed to be my girlfriend, not stalker. Another announcement comes out of the speaker before the doors start closing and the entire train starts moving north. "Don't you think you should stay put when the train is moving, liebling?"
"I would if I'm a coward like you, Eugen." I increase my pace entering the next car knowing that Eugen is coming for my ass. This car is similar to the last one so there's no need for me to linger here.
"Well, this should be entertaining." A sense of dread washed over me as the succubus started giving chase. Holy fuck! We're on a train, woman! Don't use your top speed here! "Come on now, Liebling. I'm right behind you~~~" Fuck! Why can't I tap into the speedforce!? Clearly I need it more than Barry Allen!
I keep on running with Eugen right behind me. I can feel her breathing on my neck. That's how close she is and yet she hasn't tried to catch me or anything. She is playing with her prey. 5 cars in and she is still just hovering behind me. Just tackle me down already! This is exhausting!
"Oh my~~ The car in front of us looks interesting." Huh? "Let's stop here, Liebling." Eugen finally had enough and pounced me down.
"GAH!" I fell face first onto the cold floor. "That hurt…" I know I was the one who started it but can she not catch me in a more gentle way? My face hurt. "Huh?" When I turn around to see the face of my captor, the things around us catch my attention more. They were vending machines. This car is similar to the other cars but just changes the seat with vending machines and no windows at all.
"Liebling, look." Eugen stands up and points at one of the vending machines. It's a completely pink vending machine. Even the glass has a hue of pink on it. "Do you think we should buy it?" I stand up and look at the machine that Eugen is pointing at. I can't read the sakuran writing on the machine but from all the hearts, gender symbols of the male piercing the female's hole, and an image of a pixelated dick being erect, I don't need to. "There's the QR code for the payment."
"Do you really have money to spend on this? We're going on a date, aren't we?" Eugen casually brings out her phone and shows me her bank account. Holy fuck… She is fucking loaded! "Why do you have so much more money than me?! It's not fair!" I understand why but still! They could buy a three story house fully furnished and still have more money than me!
"Aaawww~~ Is my boyfriend broke~~?" Fuck you! I'm not broke but not rich either! I'm in the middle! "Don't worry, I'll be your sugar mommy." Yes please. "So what do you want to buy, dear~~?"
"That one." I immediately point at the vending machine that is selling sodas. "I want the orange fanta please. Three of them." Shits have shrunk ever since the dawn of humanity and now a single bottle of those couldn't quench my thirst like it used to when I was a kid.
"..." Eugen was stunned. She probably expected me to want to buy the product on the sex vending machine but hey, she never specified, right? Technically I'm not wrong. "Fufufu~~ Alright then~~ It's my loss." Yeah, take your L with pride, Eugen. You have been defeated by the number one smartest person in the world. If you read the list from the bottom. "Let's see~~" Eugen scans the QR code which redirects her to a website that showcases the product inside the vending machine. "Three orange fantas, and three beers."
"Really? Beers before our date?"
"It's just a little." You raging alcoholic. The 3 cans of beer and 3 bottles of soda drop down and we gladly grab our things. "This much won't even get me tipsy." Eugen opens one of her cans and takes a big gulp down. "Mmmhh… I guess I can't expect much from cheap beer." Her comment makes me open up one of my bottles and take a gulp. It tastes as good as I remember it to be. HAHAHA! That's 1 for soda!
"Should we go back?" I doubt there's anything interesting. It's probably just more passenger cars.
"Sure."
As we both walk back toward the car where Atago and Belfast are, I bring out my phone to check where we are right now. The next station is called 'Tomiura'. Wait, where are we going again? "Eugen, where are we going?"
"Nagoya." The capital? I zoom out on my map and notice that we're going to be on this train for quite some time. "It'll probably take us about an hour or so." An hour?! Can you not see the distance between where we are and the city of Nagoya right now?!
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Kommandant Stella said that the train will go underground and there is where the speed will ramp up." Ah, I see… Now that I know, an hour sounds more likely. "Tokyo isn't a destination anymore and any train above ground became a target during the first siren war so the sakuran moved it underground." Yeah, that makes sense.
"Oh my~~ You're back." Hello, Atago. "Did you guys buy us some drinks?" Ah shit… I didn't think this through.
"You can have Eugen's beers."
"Eh?"
[1] Belfast's Shopping with the Head Maid skin
[2] Atago's School Traumerei skin
[3] Prinz Eugen's Cordial Cornflower skin
Is this where the sakuran keep their minotaur?
"Now~~ Now~~ I believe you're old enough to learn this kind of thing."
The source of my anxiety comes back to the party.
"The staff said that these costumes have to be worn without underwear."
Are we in a medieval armor store or something?
