Our Bonds (A Kantai Collection Fanfic) - Chapter 227

Ehh~ So that happened. That sounds terrible.” (Shigure)

“Yeah. They are so overpowered, it should be illegal.”

“No wonder Yahagi-san and the others looks so dejected when they got back.” (Shigure)

“Yeah. Apart from being distractions, they couldn’t do much. In fact, it was already great that they were able to be distractions, but they probably wanted a more active role in that mission.”

Shigure laid on her stomach and listened as I talk about the events that occurred in the afternoon. At that time, she was training with Murasame and Shiratsuyu, under Akashi’s watch.

After Tester Alpha took off with Ash and Ember, Akagi spoke to the other two shipgirls. Aside from capturing Ash and Ember, they also had orders to recruit the other two. That’s when I learned their names, Ark Royal META and Hiryuu META. Even though it’s just one extra word, it sounds so cool. The two of them are from the same world as Ash and Ember, but instead of joining the Sirens, they chose to carry on their dead Commander legacy. Not sure what it is though. Before disappearing, they told Akagi to prove that their Commander is worthy. Worthy to lead and use their power. Akagi was exasperated, naturally, and tried to attack them. Luckily, Baltimore held her back. That fox is extremely overprotective of her beloved Commander, especially so after the Black Inferno incident.

I’m not sure how he is going to prove his worthiness, maybe through that weird operation I read the other day. Operation Siren, which takes place in a newly designated danger zone in the North Atlantic Ocean. From the report, the entire area is blanketed in black. No sh.i.p.s are able to pass through that area, not even our shipgirls. However, Azur Lane’s shipgirls were able to enter. Thus, the whole area is now under their jurisdiction, and was dubbed Operation Siren. The rest of the details are classified.

“I want to hurry up and get back to doing sorties.” (Shigure)

I placed a hand on Shigure’s head,

“No need to rush. I will reinstate you back to the fleet once you are ready. Until then, you can just stay by my side.”

Shigure moved closer and snuggled against me. The blanket covering her n.a.k.e.d body slipped off when she moved, revealing her silky white skin. We just did it a while ago. Our night battle.

“Come on. Puts some pajamas on. You are going to catch a cold if you sleep n.a.k.e.d.”

“Admiral, can we do it one more time?” (Shigure)

“Eh? Are you sure? You have practice early in the morning. Will you be able to wake up?”

“I’ll be fine. Beside, Admiral looks like you are raring to go for another round.” (Shigure)

Shigure said that as she glanced at my pitched tent. Sorry, my body is way too honest.

“Can I leave the lamp on?”

“Erm… That’s a bit…” (Shigure)

Shigure prefers to do it in dark. Probably because she is embarrassed to let me see her expressions. She is so cute though. What a shame.

“Alright. I turning it off.”

I turned off the night lamp and threw the blanket over us. Her sweet m.o.a.ns entered my ear as our bodies combined.

———————————————

…I kind of regret helping Azur Lane out now…

“Wait, Ooyodo. A 20 page report?! What am I supposed to write? Everything that happened yesterday will only fill up 10 pages.”

“This is what HQ demanded. And everything that happened is more than 10 pages. It’s the same as what you do all the time. Writing stories and other bullshit.” (Ooyodo)

This is so troublesome. HQ is asking me to write a 20 page report of yesterday’s battle. Are they crazy? How can I write that much? Even though I’m good at falsifying reports to protect myself and my girls, this is too much work for me.

“No no no. This is different. I have more freedom when writing those ‘cos HQ doesn’t know the truth. This time, they will want the battle records. I will have to match it. In fact, why can they just watch the recording? Whatever they are asking me to write is the same as the recording.”

“They want your outlook on the matter as well. Seems like HQ is taking this seriously. Anyway, do your best. They want it by tomorrow.” (Ooyodo)

“Tomorrow?! You got to be shitting me! There is no way I can do this by tomorrow!”

“Do your best~” (Ooyodo)

“Ooyodo! Oi! Don’t run!”

Ooyodo hurriedly left the office.

You got to be kidding me! How can I fill up 20 pages? What do they think I am? Some kind of super human?!

I can see Zuihou slowly tiptoeing towards the door,

“Oi!”

“Gh…” (Zuihou)

Zuihou flinched as I call her name. She slowly turned around to face me.

“Where did you think you are going?”

“Umm… Hiryuu-senpai called me to practice. I need to go now.” (Zuihou)

“Oh, I see. Then, good luck with your practice. Yeah, right! You are staying here and helping me with this! Don’t even think of running off!”

“Noooo!” (Zuihou)

And so, Zuihou and I spent the whole day writing the report. It was just another day at Maizuru Naval Base.
