Our Bonds (A Kantai Collection Fanfic) - Chapter 243

Purifier… One of the Siren elites… Why was she at the center of the Mirror Sea? And what was her goal?

During the operation two days ago, we managed to deal a huge enough blow on the Siren fleet to force the mastermind out of hiding. Little did we expect the Purifier to make an appearance. However, instead of putting up a fight like we expected her to, she simply destroyed the Mirror Sea herself, along with the rest of the Siren fleet, before disappearing through a portal. She didn’t even say a word. She just showed up all of a sudden, destroyed the remaining Siren sh.i.p.s and clones, shattered the Mirror Sea, and left as quickly as she came. Everyone was flabbergasted by her behavior. It’s good that we didn’t suffer any heavy casualties though.

“It doesn’t make any sense. Why would one of the elite Sirens show up just to help us?”

“Maybe it’s a tactic to trick us into letting our guard down?” (Zuihou)

“I don’t know about that. Her main goal in life is to purify abnormalities in their so-called experiments. Why would she interfere in one?”

Zuihou cupped her hands together and started squirting some water,

“Maybe she is a clone herself.” (Zuihou)

“Impossible. Elite Sirens can’t be cloned.”

Or can they? Nah. That’s just ridiculous.

“Well, no use thinking about it now. Let’s just enjoy our bath.” (Zuihou)

Zuihou stretched her hands high up, letting a few lucky droplets of water flow down her armpits. I can’t tell if she is trying to seduce me or she is really enjoying her bath.

After an entire day of work and a few hours of overtime, I have finally finished my work. The weather is starting to heat up, with summer approaching pretty soon, so worked up quite a sweat. Nothing like a good relaxing bath with my girlfriend to end the day.

I cupped my hands against Zuihou’s c.h.e.s.t and massaged those tiny hilltops.

“Ahn! Wait. Admiral?! What are yo- Nh! Ahn!” (Zuihou)

“Admiral… Wait… Ahn! Why are you doing this… Nn! all of a sudden…?” (Zuihou)

I licked the nape of her neck and watched her shiver in response,

“You are pretty s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e today.”

“If you do this… of course… I would be… Nh! Nn! Ahn! Wait! If you do that now…!!!” (Zuihou)

I slowly traced her body from her c.h.e.s.t to her bottom levels and played with her most s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e area. Zuihou arched her back and let out a loud, s.e.xy m.o.a.n. She let her body collapsed back into my arms, breathing heavily. That was fast. Faster than usual.

“Haah… Haah… What’s with you all of a sudden?” (Zuihou)

“I just felt like it.”

“Geez…” (Zuihou)

“Of course, I’m not going stop there. Not until I’m satisfied.”

“I guess there is not choice, you pervert of an Admiral~” (Zuihou)

Our lips touched and our tongues explore each other’s mouths.

Another day, another experiment… What is my sweet little Empress up to now? Everyone is gathered in my room.

“Your highness, the result were as you predicted. Those girls have been assimilated into Azur Lane.” (Observer)

Doing a great job as always, Observer-chan. Just like I built you to do.

“There was a slight deviation, but we still managed to obtain the d.e.s.i.r.ed results. The phase ‘third time’s the charm’ really holds true here.” (Empress)

“Hmph. Why are we bolstering their forces? We should crush them right now. In fact, we should have just killed that Commander right then and there. We had three chances.” (Strength)

Always the muscle head, Strength. Come on, use that brain a little, would you? I know I created you to be physically stronger than the rest but that doesn’t mean everything can be solved with physical strength and violence. Experiments take time. You can’t brute force your way through.

“Come on, Strength. We already discussed so many times.” (Temperance)

“Enough, both of you. We shall begin preparation for the next experiment tomorrow. You all are dismissed.” (Empress)

My girls left the room one by one according to rank. The Arbiters left first, followed by my elites. Just like how I taught them.

“Zero, wait.” (Empress)

Zero turn around,

Keep an close eye on Purifier, would you? Her behavior has been rather… abnormal as of late. Inform me immediately when you see signs of corruption. I will fix her myself.” (Empress)

What did you do this time, Purifier-chan? I accessed the memory logs and looked at the latest recordings. Ah. I see. That is certainly uncharacteristic of you.

“Your highness, you don’t have to take such menial task upon yourself. Purifier is part of the Elites. We will deal with her on our own.” (Observer Zero)

“No. I can’t risk a corruption among your ranks. I will deal with her myself. Not to mention, this is not the first time she helped our subjects.” (Empress)

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Purifier-chan was the one who gave those self-proclaimed goddesses their equipment. Maybe she got corrupted again.

“Understood, your highness.” (Observer Zero)

“You are dismissed.” (Empress)

Zero-chan left, leaving only me and my baby in the room. Empress-chan touched the tube where my remains are contained. I mustered enough power to move my hand, or what’s left of it, to where her hand is. Despite the glass between us, I can feel her warmth.

“Ahh~ My darling Creator~ Just a while more. I will definitely restore you. Believe me.” (Empress)

I believe you…

My beloved daughter…
