Our Bonds

With both the Ne-Class Heavy Cruiser Kai and Battleship Demon sunk, the operation can finally carry on. Our main target, the Batavia Princess, is a new, never before seen high-class Abyssal. With 2 Nautili at the sides, she would make a good antagonist from a tentacle doujin. At first, the plan was for us to cooperate with Yokosuka on this mission. As per their latest request, Noshiro, Kawakaze, Yuudachi, Shigure, Suzuya and Ryuujou were to sortie with them. Due to our involvement in the previous 3 missions and in stopping Azur Lane's Zuikaku and Shoukaku, our responsibilities have decreased. Now, all we need to do is to assist in the transport phase and defend the Air Base. After that, Yokosuka will team up with the other Naval Districts while we get to go on a 5 day Onsen Trip! That's real nice of them! Considering the fact the we have been spearheading the first 3 missions, this reward is pretty well-deserved.

"Onsen! Yuudachi wants to go!" (Yuudachi)

"This is like a good Christmas present!" (Suzuya)

"An Onsen trip with Nee-sama... Hehehehe..." (Yamashiro)

"All right all right. I know you girls are excited but we still need to complete this one last job. Here are your equipment setups. Suzuya and Noshiro, you will be using the basic setup. Make sure to bring some seaplanes bombers with you. Shigure, Yuudachi and Kawakaze will be using drums for this round. Ryuujou, Shouhou, Yamashiro, Fusou, Yamakaze and Fubuki will be on Air Support. Yamakaze and Samidare, bring radars with you to track and mark the enemy's location."

"I will do my best!" (Fubuki)

"R-roger." (Yamakaze)

"Fusou and Yamashiro will be fully equipped with Seaplane Bombers. Ryuujou and Shouhou... I don't think I need tell you two what to bring."

"Leave it to us." (Shouhou)

"Zuihou ain't comin' along for this?" (Ryuujou)

"She is grounded. For the latest stunt she pulled."

"..." (Zuihou)

"Ah. I see. Tough luck, eh." (Ryuujou)

"You don't have to remind me! Geez!" (Zuihou)

"I will leave the fleet arrangement to Yokosuka. Once you are prepared, move out to Brunei Anchorage. Further details and planning are held that. Good luck, girls. I'm counting on you."

"Roger!" (All)

As soon as everyone left to get their assigned equipment, Zuihou switched to her childish side and gave a sullen pout.

"Admiral, can I really not go on a sortie?" (Zuihou)

"Again with this? I told you, this is your punishment. And also a break for you. The others need to have battle experience too."

For the past few months after her remodel, Zuihou's growth and attack power has been increasing rapidly, up to the point where she can take out half the enemy fleet during the first air strike. As of now, she is the strongest shipgirl in my district, followed by both Shigure and Yuudachi and then Suzuya. These 4 shipgirls are the ace of Maizuru Naval District.

"But I'm bored! Come on, at least put me on an expedition." (Zuihou)

Zuihou shook me, like a child pestering their parents to buy some candy for them. She is trying act cute, something which the others already good at as well. Still, I need to be firm with this.

"Nope. You are staying on land. Unless you want another type of punishment..."

"Oh I know that face. You are going to do something perverted to me if I agree, right?"

As if reading my mind, Zuihou placed her hands over her chest and inched further from me. What kind of face was I making? And how did she know?

"Your loss."

"I was right. Stop trying to act cool. I can tell."

"You are being real sassy today."

I put my hand under Zuihou's chin and brought my face closer to her.

"Maybe I should punish that naughty mouth of yours."

"W-wait! Not no- mmh..." (Zuihou)

I played around her lips with my tongue. Zuihou flinched a bit, startled by this sudden action. Soon, I can feel the warmth of her tongue on mine as I pulled her closer. Just like on our first night, Zuihou completely submitted her body to me.

"Funyaa~" (Zuihou)

I broke off the kiss. Despite it being cold, I was feeling rather warm. Zuihou must have felt it too. Her face was flushed and she wore this feminine expression on her face.

"Admiral is so unfair..." (Zuihou)
