I flipped through the updated intel report again. Thanks to Akagi's and Shoukaku's reconnaissance, those guys at Intel were able to create, compile and update all the necessary information we need for this transport operation. HQ has also established the operation order and roles of each Naval District. Maizuru will be participating in EO. The enemies in the area, fleet compositions, phases, and routes have all been planned out and confirmed.
I flicked the Donald Duck bobblehead on my table lightly and watched it nod like a mad duck. The girls bought some souvenirs for me from their Disneyland trip. Zuihou gave me this Donald Duck bobblehead, the Woody one from Shigure, and the Beast one from Shioi. The other girls bought some for me as well but they are mostly T-shirts, keychains and other small trinkets. The three bobbleheads I can place on my desk as decorations and play with to distract me from work from time to time. When the seven of them returned, I listened to them talk about how fun it was, the rides, the hotel room, the plane ride, basically their entire experience. It's great that they loved it. Seeing Yahagi acting all childlike as she talked about the trip was a rare event.
"The operation will begin three days later. Our resources are in the green so we are all set. And we are not up till EO so there is still time to stockpile if necessary. I have a choice between a Light Composition or Heavy Composition. I can go for the Heavy option. Either way, I can assign Zara and Pola to this."
It will be their first major operation with us. If what Prinz Eugen said was correct, I'm sure they can work well with the others.
Prinz Eugen... I haven't really been able to talk to her this past week since then. It was only small talk and our two new shipgirls are always with her. I really want to know what was she doing that day. Does she love me? Hehe. Nah. Dream on, Keita. That's impossible. As far as I know, I haven't done anything to earn her affection. Or maybe it's a kind of German greeting? If it was she won't be acting like that afterwards. Think carefully, Keita.
...Dumbass. Why didn't you just send her a message? That way, I can arrange a meetup and talk to her. It was so simple.
A knock on my door jolted me out of my self-proclaimed deep thought. The door opened slightly and a cute girl with brown hair poked her head in,
"Admiral, you're still awake?" (Zuihou)
"Right back at you. It's already past lights out."
Zuihou entered and closed the door behind her. Her hair is down, a bit fluffier than usual, and she was wearing her night yukata. Sometimes I wonder, who designed it and does she even wear panties under that. It's so short, fully exposing her thighs, and the material looks thinner than it really is. Just cut it a bit more and I will be able to see her bottom half.
That is a dangerous outfit... Okay, the other me down there, calm down. No need to start pitching a tent so quickly. Just the mere thought of pulling off that obi, watching that yukata slip off her, exposing her naked body before having night battles with her is enough to get me aroused?
Apparently, yes! The tent has been pitched! Why am I having this kind of thoughts?
"Admiral, it's a little embarrassing if you stare that much." (Zuihou)
"Ah. My bad."
Down, boy! Down!
"What are you doing?" (Zuihou)
Zuihou walked over to me. Act natural.
"Nothing."
Natural! Not dumb!
She narrowed her eyes and stared at me,
"Are you hiding something? What are you reading?" (Zuihou)
"J-just the Intel booklet for the upcoming operation. I'm deciding on our fleet composition."
"Oh. That's it? I thought it was something perverted. Like one of those doujinshis from your collection." (Zuihou)
"Why would I read one in the open?"
...
"Ah." (Zuihou)
"What the hell?! How did you know about my doujinshi collection?!"
I know I had it hidden in a secret compartment in my wardrobe. There is no way anyone would be able to find it!
"Erm..." (Zuihou)
She looked away, eyes shifting and getting flustered. I grabbed her shoulders,
"How did you manage to find my collection?"
"Admiral! Your eyes! They are scary!" (Zuihou)
After a little coercion and cheek pulling, Zuihou revealed that she accidentally stumbled across my collection while looking through my shirts in the wardrobe. Why? I have no idea. But the thought of her wearing nothing but my shirt in a provocative pose...
Anyway, while shirt-hunting, she accidentally pushed the button which opened the secret compartment for my immoral thin books.
And that's how she discovered it.
"I should have known Admiral is into women with big breasts..." (Zuihou)
Why are you depressed all of a sudden?!
"That's not true. I have a bunch of them featuring girls who are flat or with small chests just like you. Furthermore, I don't read them for the character's breast size. I read them for the plot!"
"Oh yeah. I remember seeing some with sma- Hey! So mean! You know I'm conscious about my chest size!" (Zuihou)
She puffed her cheeks like some angry hamster.
"You are the one that brought up in the first place! And it looks like the myth about having smaller breasts increases one's sensitivity. Since you are always moaning everything I mess with you."
"I can report you for sexual harassment, you perverted Admiral!" (Zuihou)
"And I can punish you for searching through my personal belongings without permission! Two can play at that game."
"Stupid! Pervert!" (Zuihou)
"Takes one to know one! You're a pervert too. Sniffing my shirt and reading my doujins!"
"I can't help it! I like your smell and I want to know what you like!" (Zuihou)
"...Eh?"
"...Ah." (Zuihou)
What did she just say? And was she really sniffing my shirts? I just said all that on impulse.
"That's- Umm...Let's forget this conversation ever happened. Okay? I-I'm going to bed now. Good nig-" (Zuihou)
Something clicked within me. Before she can walk away, I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me. Zuihou landed on my lap, just as planned, and I locked her in,
"Kyaah?! Admiral?!" (Zuihou)
"Let's talk more about that in detail, shall we?"
"EHHH?!" (Zuihou)
"So, tell me. You like my smell, right? You must be happy being this close to me."
"That's..." (Zuihou)
"I can show you the things I like as well..."
My hands moved across her body. I can feel her entirety through that thin-looking piece of fabric on her. Her hips, her stomach, her cute, petite chest...
"Ahn? Nn! Fua." (Zuihou)
Her breathing is getting heavier and she is letting some rather lewd noises. As expected, her chest is extremely sensitive.
I want to hear more of Zuihou... Feel more of Zuihou...
"Admiral, s-stahp... This is... Nhaa! Ah!" (Zuihou)
I continued my onslaught. The room is filled with nothing but Zuihou's voice. My hands are too busy messing around with her body to hold her down. She isn't trying to escape either...
"Admiral! Really! Nnh! Any...more... Nkh! I'm going... to... Aaahhh!" (Zuihou)
Zuihou suddenly swung her head backwards, hitting me square in the chin.
"Ouch!"
Zuihou arched her back as her body twitched for a while before slumping forward. I quickly caught her before she can fall off my lap.
Crap! No matter how you look at it, I took it too far!
"Sorry, Zuihou. I went too far. I'm so sorry."
"..." (Zuihou)
This is bad! She is ignoring me!
"Zuihou. I'm really sorry."
Zuihou leaned against my body, motionless. Eh?
"Zuihou?"
I pat her cheek gently. No response. Her eyes are closed and she is breathing normally.
She is sleeping?
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Hm? Why am I feeling relieved?
My trousers feel wet for some reason. I gently lifted Zuihou up from my lap, careful not to wake her up. I can see some kind of thread connecting the wet spot of my trousers to her panties.
That is not pee... And she does wear panties underneath this outfit of hers.
Wow. Did that just happen?
Okay. Let's put her to bed first. I carried Zuihou to my bedroom. I should probably take off her soaked panties. Is that alright? I should be fun if I just don't look. I reached under her yukata. It's really soaked. I pulled it off. Should I wipe her as well?
No. Anymore than that and I will definitely lose my sense of reason. In the first place, I think I lost it for a while back then.
I will sleep on the sofa tonight.
I head to the bathroom to get changed. Before I go to bed, there is still one last thing to take care off.
My son is not going down at all. I need to release him if I'm going to get any sleep tonight.
I take a look at the soaked panties in my hand...
