More than ten minutes later.
Jack had taken care of the situation in the bathroom, and with the help of Amagi and Akagi, he put on the Commander's uniform from the lounge wardrobe.
A white shirt and a white Navy suit coat.
"So, Nagato, is there something you came to see me about?"
Jack sat back in the Commander's chair and began to pick up the documents on the desk and read them.
Nagato's mind was still stuck on the chaotic scene she had witnessed in the bathroom earlier.
She still couldn't equate this spirited, general-like Commander with that person.
"Ara, it seems our Nagato has been charmed by Commander~"
Amagi brewed a cup of tea for Jack, then quietly stood behind him.
"Cough cough! I am not those shallow little girls! Commander, I came to inform you about the details of the dinner."
"Dinner? Aren't we eating at the Navy Cafeteria?"
"It is the Navy Cafeteria, but for the dishes, we need to prepare something special for you, after all, before you came, there was no human food prepared here."
"No matter, I can eat with you all. It's just oil; I can digest it too."
Eating, to put it plainly, is just supplementing the energy needed for individual life activities.
Machines can move by burning alkanes in internal combustion engines, and Jack, the Creator, also had a way to decompose organic or even inorganic matter into the necessary energy.
Jack had already eaten Shipgirl food, and in terms of taste, it was actually not much different from human food.
"Commander can even do this now…"
Nagato expressed her shock.
However, thinking about the 1v5 in the bathroom just now, and now he was full of energy looking at documents, this stamina also indirectly demonstrated their Commander's inhuman nature.
"I understand. I will prepare Commander's meals according to the same standard as everyone else. Then, Commander, I won't disturb you any further."
"Wait!"
Nagato retracted her foot that had stepped out and waited for his command.
"You should still go to the lounge. I already know about Laffey and Ayanami's matter. Although your original intention wasn't bad, you still need to personally apologize for causing trouble for your companions."
"Yes, I… understand."
Nagato didn't feel wronged; instead, she let out a sigh of relief.
After she went in, Amagi's gaze followed her.
Jack waved his hand: "If you're worried, you can go too. I'll note down any problems with these documents and ask you about them all at once after you're done."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, My Lord."
Amagi bowed apologetically, then also walked towards the lounge, where the three little ones, tired from the discipline, were resting on the bed.
With that, only Akagi remained on site.
She was clad in a single garment, sitting on the sofa, propping her chin with her hands, staring at Jack without blinking.
Indeed, a serious Commander is also very handsome!
Akagi stated that she would definitely be a good girl in Commander's eyes from now on and would no longer cause trouble by conflicting with Taihou.
After all, only good girls get rewards.
...
"Achoo!"
At the seaside aircraft carrier training ground, Taihou, who was undergoing military exercises, sneezed.
Her companion Zuikaku patted her shoulder with concern.
"Are you alright, Taihou? You've sneezed several times this afternoon. Are you catching a cold?"
Taihou shook her head: "No! It's not a cold. Ever since I left the main building and came out to train, I've had a restless feeling, like someone stole something I cherish."
"Something you cherish, that would only be Commander, right? No, Commander isn't a 'thing'… Uh, that's not quite right either. Anyway, you think someone bothered Commander while we were all away?"
"Yes, yes! That's exactly what Taihou means!"
Zuikaku started brainstorming and immediately began to advise Taihou.
Who exactly would disturb Commander's peace when Amagi was serving as Secretary Ship?
Who could it be? So hard to guess~
"What are you two doing? Aren't you training?"
Shoukaku walked over and saw Zuikaku whispering with Taihou.
"Shoukaku, I have a serious question for you!"
Slap!
"Call me Big Sister!"
"Ugh… Okay, Shoukaku-nee."
"Say whatever you want to ask. If it's not something important enough to interrupt the parade five days from now, then prepare for extra training tonight!"
Zuikaku swallowed, and cautiously said, "Shoukaku-nee, do you think the Shipgirls in our port district, upon learning of Commander's return, would try to secretly dedicate themselves in a special way?"
Zuikaku's question stumped Shoukaku.
A red shadow surfaced in her mind.
No, no, no! Even if she usually didn't get along with the idiotic seniors of the First Carrier Division, she wouldn't maliciously speculate about others to that extent!
Shoukaku once again patted Zuikaku's head.
"What are you thinking about?! Amagi is the Secretary Ship right now, and with her prestige in the port, who would dare to mess around? Don't overthink it, hurry up and train!"
The Secretary Ship not only took on the responsibility of assisting the Commander with his work.
She also had the responsibility of fending off other "vixens" for the Commander.
Therefore, regarding Nagato directly replacing her Secretary Ship, Amagi, with the Commander's Secretary Ship, everyone, while a little disappointed it wasn't them, was very convinced.
However, having said that.
Taihou held a different opinion.
After all, her old rival, Akagi, was Amagi's younger sister. The idea of approaching the Commander under the pretense of visiting her sister, and then seducing the Commander, was something she herself would do.
She decided to ask Akashi about the situation afterwards.
Taihou thought for a moment and decided to take out some benefits from her personal stash to bribe the well-informed Akashi, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sleep well for the next few days.
...
As the sun set, night fell.
In Sakura Empire Port, countless neon lights illuminated once again, decorating the plain and desolate port into a warm and prosperous harbor.
Navy Cafeteria.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Shipgirls, Jack arrived with Amagi and others.
"You've arrived."
"Yes, I've arrived."
"They said you were in Sakura Empire, and I thought I hadn't woken up from a dream."
"And now?"
"I can feel it, this is not a dream."
The one conversing with Jack was none other than Shinano, Inazuma's top combatant, the legendary carrier.
"It seems Shinano didn't lie. Commander, you really did spend a wonderful time with her in a dream. It's… a bit enviable and jealous~"
Musashi's words carried a natural wifely charm. Today, she wore a dignified gown, with a pair of full, round breasts seemingly ready to burst forth, and her entire being exuded a benevolent aura.
"That was indeed an unforgettable time, but from now on, I believe every Shipgirl present and I will create unforgettable memories."
"What an impeccable answer, my dear Commander~"
One sentence calmed the restless hearts of all the Shipgirls present.
Such a person was born to have a harem; they didn't have to worry about anyone falling out of favor, because even the timid ones waiting in the corner would receive favor.
Musashi, satisfied, released Jack, allowing him to gradually separate from the group of Shipgirls and, guided by Amagi, walk to the main seat in the hall.
After sitting down, Jack looked around.
On his left were all destroyers and cruisers, mostly petite but charmingly cute, their sweet smiles reminding one of first love.
On his right were all carriers and battleships. Except for a few like Nagato's second ship, most had ample assets, smiled gently and kindly, and exuded the aura of older sisters.
He raised his cup of sake and addressed everyone.
"From today onwards, you will no longer be lost, for I will become a guiding star, illuminating your future!
In the eternal future, no Shipgirl will ever be left behind. We will create countless beautiful and fervent memories!
May this scene be eternal!"
