*WARNING* *Reading in a better place will prevent you from getting scoliosis* First this is a mash up fan-fic, a fan-fic created from many component of different origins. There's some from anime, video game, Lovecraftian, SCP, manga, manhwa, manhua and some other stuff put together in one place and voila. I don't really know how to promote fan-fic or stuff like this but... Fu Hua is best girl. At first Mc still got no names, but he'll gain it based from the usual Core Memory stuff. He's also an average Fu Hua admirer who like to drink milk. Beside from the main Mc there're some other important character that help to become the foundation for this story. There's Cera the common 4th wall breaker. Yjor the ruler. And Hylia a lass who likes chocolate ice cream. Those four are OC and got their own personalities, so maybe it'll be hard to read when they appeared or got their scene. The premise of this story is about erasing the tragedy, obliterating the chosen one, confronting the fake happiness, to become someone worthy, regaining dream and hope, as well as to become the champion of their own life. At earlier chapter, I still can't decided what writing style to be used so there're many error to be found. Even now I'm still trying to find another new style to write. And yeah perhaps there's someone who think it'll be a waste of time reading such long synopsis like this but... anyway. *IMPORTANT* There're suicidal thought in this story, so please watch your own thought before reading this as I don't want to make you to commit suicide on your own. Ehe Then there's some different personalities thingy, monster of emotion thingy, and death of cute and kawaii characters thingy. I'm someone with cute aggression behavior you see... Ah yeah... in this fan-fic there's Arknight CoC Genshin Granblue Azur Lane Honkai Gakkou Gurashi Welp so far there're only those, but I do want to add more character and lore from different stuff like Lament from Memento Mori, some game that can't be played anymore (You guys know Sid Story or Eternal City?) and yeah... this is just a plan so there's gonna be a HUGE chance I wouldn't put those in this fan-fic. Why? Who knows, I made this fanfic as a way to find my favorite stories. So anyway, that's the end for today synopsis. ----------- *This is a fan-fic, a work of fiction using some reference and material from other source of work, so credit goes to the original creator.* *Even though some of them are not mine, there's some original or random thing that I've added in this story* *And that cover is Fenghuang Down, don't know whose pict though*

Let the earth shatter pt.3

At the Azur Lane Academy, where the sun had set after he completed his tasks and engagements with many ship girls that day, Sakura Zeimachi decided to enter a new area that had been re-constructed by the Manjuu.

An Onsen, commonly referred to as an open-air hot spring bath, still retains its Oriental ambiance, originating from an Eastern country of Sakura Empire.

Inside the hot spring bath, Sakura Zeimachi immersed himself alone after a day filled with planned routine activities.

"There's one on that island, right? Yeah, a hot spring... Well, those girls and Hylia-san should be fine... I want to let her play like any kid of her age, but you tell me what can I do..."

To alleviate the burden and the thoughts that piled up, the man splashed water on his face using a basin. Gazing at the sky covered in a blanket of dark stars, a sigh filled with anxiety escaped from within him.

"At most, they'll take two days to regroup. During that time, Hylia-san can also learn from the legacy that Cera left for her... We'll proceed according to the plan, yes... The pet? Ah, you mean Fuwa, I've already talked to her."

Letting the burden of thoughts melt away in the warmth of the hot water, some of the anxiety subsided and found its release, bringing a little relief to his breath and soul.

"Don't worry, there's no way I could sleep at a time like this... I'll just, huuuh, rest my eyes for a bit."

However, as he decided to close his eyes and spend the remaining time in the hot spring, a group of ship girls arrived and entered the bath. He wondered to himself why he was blessed with this fortune, but the comfort of the hot water didn't make him too concerned.

"Hmm? I thought they would all be asleep at this hour. Oh well." (Sakura Zeimachi)

True to his words, he's too lazy to use his Feathers.

Thus, he simply leaned his neck on the edge of the bath, covering his head and hair with a white towel available. Whatever the ship girls would do, Sakura Zeimachi wouldn't pay much attention to it.

This scene was then got noticed by one of the ship girls who came closer to him.

"Woof? There's someone?"「Yuudachi」 

While wagging her tails.

The ship girl wearing only a single towel tightly wrapped around her body, playfully ran around the bath like a trained dog. Fortunately she didn't slip, and when she arrived, she curiously unraveled the towel that Sakura Zeimachi had purposely placed on top of his head.

"Oii, are you alive? Hey Shigure, there's someone weird in here."「Yuudachi」 

Her face was very close, to the point where she could feel Yuudachi's playful sniffs.

Furthermore her voice was too loud, audible even outside the hot spring bath, causing the friend she had summoned to quickly and angrily open the bath's door, entering with several other ship girls.

"You little! How many times I need to say no running in onsen you moron?!"「Shigure」 

"Hmph, how childish you are both of you. Running and shouting in a public place, you seriously need to take an example out from this Yukikaze the great over here!"「Yukikaze」 

"Nobody is asking Yuckykaze~"「Shigure」 

They were the luck rival pair, Shigure and Yukikaze.

The reason for the rivalry between them initially stemmed from luck factors. They constantly competed to demonstrate who was better, like rivals wanting to prove their superiority.

Thanks to their regime training having extended into the night, their squadron only found time for a break during the night.

In addition to Yukikaze and Shigure, who wished to use the onsen, several other ship girls later joined, wearing only a towel wrapped around their bodies.

As expected of ship girl figures, they could leave a lasting impression on many. When they immersed themselves in the onsen, there's no doubt they would become even more beautiful and looked younger than before.

"Too much worried thoughts will make you sick Fusou, take this chance to calm your mind."「Tosa」 

"But then again, I'm really worried about Yamashiro."「Fusou」 

"Me too, I want to know why Nagato-nee have become busier this time."「Mutsu」 

The bath was becoming more lively, but on the other hand, Sakura Zeimachi was still being held captive by someone, or more like he's being treated akind to a pool ball by Yuudachi who playfully patted and bit his face.

Nevertheless the man paid no heed to any of it and focused on preparing his response to the ship girls' doubts. He got slightly lost in thought upon eavesdropping the ship girls' conversation.

'Well, even if I die right now, so be it. Tte!?' (Sakura Zeimachi)

And when he finished thinking, Sakura Zeimachi finally stopped his rail of thoughts upon receiving a small nib from the mad dog again.

"*Gnam* See? Even when I bite, he doesn't move. He's so quiet I thought he's dead."「Yuudachi」 

"Quit yapping weird here and there! This is why anyone keep calling you a maddog! Sigh, just who is this weird person anywa- wait, he? Are you sure you're right... in... mind..."「Shigure」 

Shigure who had distanced herself from Yukikaze, pulled Yuudachi to stop behaving like a dog. Unfortunately it was too late, as when she looked at the person's face, it was already covered in fresh bite marks that Yuudachi's recent nibbling.

"E-Eh?"「Shigure」 

It was at that moment that Shigure finally realized that the person continuously bitten by Yuudachi was their commander. The look of surprise on her face elicited a small laugh out of him.

"Ya, keeping the good work till night? Nice nail by the way." (Sakura Zeimachi)

...

....

.....

On the other side, Hylia and Gascogne.

After Hylia left the cave which was a turned out to be a hunting ground for the Skull Crawlers. Along with a ship girl named Gascogne, they continued searching for a safe place until nightfall.

It wasn't that easy for them to settle in one place due to the island's peculiarities, which didn't allow newcomers to find a relaxing spot easily.

"..." (Hylia)

|〈Camazotz Lv.79〉

〈Special attack : Sonic screech | Vampiric drain | Echolocation distortion | Shadow dive〉

|〈Camazotz Lv.83〉

〈Special attack : Sonic screech | Echolocation distortion | Shadow dive | Vampiric drain〉

|〈Camazotz Lv.95〉

〈Special attack : Vampiric drain | Echolocation distortion | Guillotine wing swipe | Shadow dive | 〉

Unlike Sakura Zeimachi who was relaxing in the hot spring, the two of them were still searching for a safe place to spend the night and rest, all the while constantly fending off various creatures that inhabited the island.

|〈Gascogne〉|

〈Race : Ship girl〉

〈Level : 115〉

〈Job : -〉

|〈Power : 4039〉|

"There's a chance... we should be able to." (Hylia)

Just like now, where they were still searching for a more advantageous position to ambush their pursuers. While running, the feasty haired girl also continued to get accustomed to what appeared on her interface screen.

〈Camazotz Lv.95 used Guillotine wing swipe〉

"Waaa?! You stubborn!" (Hylia)

Their situation, especially Hylia's wasn't very good.

Hylia was struggling because her leg injury had yet to heal, and the poison from the previous wound inflicted by the Juvenile Skull Crawler was starting to spread, making it a bit difficult for her to control her movements. 

Despite being able to fight back using her initial weapon, the Thorny Staff, the feasty haired girl still found it challenging.

"Warrior hatha." (Hylia)

However, not everything was bad, because besides becoming somewhat accustomed to the purple screen that appeared in front of her face, her fear every time she saw the levels of those monsters had gradually faded away.

"Target identified, commencing destruction."「Gascogne」

〈Gascogne Lv.115 used Emotion Inhibition Module (Lv.10)〉

Gascogne also joined in the battle.

For her, those monsters had already been marked as her enemies, and all she needed to do was materialize her rigging kansen and fire two rounds of volley directly at the creatures.

〈Gascogne Lv.115 used Precision Salvo Protocol (Lv.10)〉

"Giiiik!"

|〈Camazotz Lv.83 (X)〉

〈Special attack : Sonic screech | Echolocation distortion | Shadow dive | Vampiric drain〉

"Khuuaaekkk!"

|〈Camazotz Lv.79 (X)〉

〈Special attack : Sonic screech | Vampiric drain | Echolocation distortion | Shadow dive〉

Grasping her Thorny Staff tightly in her hand, she stood before the remaining monsters, certain that the cross symbol appearing next to the names of the monsters signified their demise.

Her shots were so overkill that it shattered the two monsters into pieces, making Hylia to be impressed by the firepower Gascogne had displayed.

"Hmm... Precision Salvo Protocol!" (Hylia)

...

"... Eh?" (Hylia)

"..."「Camazotz Lv.95」

Out of curiosity, Hylia intended to replicate what Gascogne had just done, but of course, nothing happened. Fell into a state ready for an air dive, before the monster could sink its fangs into Hylia, Gascogne decided to finish off their last target.

〈Gascogne Lv.115 used Precision Salvo Protocol (Lv.10)〉

"Ghiiik!"

|〈Camazotz Lv.95 (X)〉

〈Special attack : Vampiric drain | Echolocation distortion | Guillotine wing swipe | Shadow dive | 〉

"Destruction of targets confirmed, requesting for damage report."「Gascogne」

Standing with a cold and emotionless gaze, Gascogne extended her arm for Hylia to grasp. Gascogne's accuracy was quite impressive as the ricochets of her shots didn't come close to Hylia at all.

"Damage report? Hmm, mission clear?" (Hylia)

"Affirmative, combat mission complete. Activating emotion module."「Gascogne」

〈Gascogne Lv.115 has deactivated Emotion Inhibition Module (Lv.10)〉

Hylia's interface screen reappeared capturing her attention yet again.

When Hylia turned her gaze back to the ship girl, she noticed that the aura emitted by Gascogne had changed compared to before. She had become somewhat easier to approach or so from what she could perceive.

"Analyzing armaments... Condition: satisfactory. Please inform me if you have more symptoms, young lady."「Gascogne」

"Don't worry! I can still hold out." (Hylia)

It seemed that Gascogne herself couldn't see the interface screen Hylia possessed. On the other hand, Hylia also couldn't see the system screen that Gascogne had.

"Hup! Let's to the go!" (Hylia)

With a raised fist, Hylia once again boosted their spirits.

That's how their usual activities had been since they first met until now.

Run, be chased, fight, and repeat it incessantly, but that's also where the advantage lay, the advantage they would gain through Hylia's experiences.

In the place where perseverance was used to repeat the same actions of eradicating the existing monsters, a worthy reward would also emerge.

Furthermore, as a former adventurer from the city of Orario, Hylia had been taught to always seek opportunities amidst difficulties.

"Ah!" (Hylia)

〈Drop item available〉

"Hold on for a sec." (Hylia)

Sensing that Hylia was about to do yet again something unusual, Gascogne observed attentively as the girl used her Thorny Staff to shatter the monster's body into pieces, turning it into a bloodied mess.

From the remnants of the monster, Gascogne noticed a crystal-like stone that Hylia picked up one by one and placed into her pouch.

〈Mana Stone (E) x3〉

"Got it, now let's go." (Hylia)

What was inside the bodies of those monsters were drop items called Mana Stones, stones that accumulated within the monsters due to the scattered Magical Residue on the island.

She had seen Hylia do this several times before and hadn't been interested. To her, these stones were not much different from regular rocks with a little beauty, so she didn't place much value on them.

Unlike her, Hylia considered those Mana Stones not much different from the Magic Stones commonly found in dungeons, thereby she still collected these drops despite being a little disgusted with monster corpses.

"Unable to determine the meaning of said activity. Why are you frequently collecting those stone?"「Gascogne」

"Alastoru said that by absorbing the energy within these mana stones, my strength will recover more quickly. Interested, Sis Coney? You're the one who defeated them all, so everything should be yours anyway." (Hylia)

Presenting three small blue stones, with her shining eyes Hylia presented the loot she had found.

"Gascogne would like one, as a proof of extermination. Will Master also find joy in this?"「Gascogne」

"I'm not sure but if we collect them, maybe we can make something that Master likes. Ah, by 'Master,' you mean Zei right?" (Hylia)

Gascogne took one of the Mana Stones that Hylia presented as a token of appreciation. When the battle finished, the silence they had hoped for turned into shouts and roars.

"They hear us." (Hylia)

"Attention: preparation for escape has finished. Please grab my hand."「Gascogne」

Rather than staying still and continuing to talk, Gascogne, anticipating the approaching presences, grabbed Hylia's arm and activated her teleportation skill.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from their previous position.

There's no thunderous noise, sound, or shockwave created by the skill's use.

〈Gascogne Lv.115 used Dimensional shift (Lv.3)〉

They managed to escape just in time—truly perfect timing. Because when Hylia and Gascogne disappeared, horrifying monsters emerged, creating a terrifying roar from their mouths.

Intrigued by the commotion that had been stirred up.

...

....

.....

When they reached a safe position, Gascogne and Hylia continued to head south until they finally encountered a wall that stretched from end to end.

It was an old, towering wall, weathered by age but still standing there.

The wall seemed to have been erected as a barrier between the territory of the monsters they had passed through and whatever lay behind it.

 

"Its brittle, let's look for a way in." (Hylia)

Without hesitation, the two of them decided to pass through it by creating their own entrance.

The wind carrying the sea breeze made them feel nostalgic as they looked at the scenery where the waves touched the very sharp edges of the cliffs.

Gascogne realized that the land they had entered was surrounded by a water body that made it impossible for her rigging to set sail.

She's slightly disappointed.

"Map updated, marking this place as South Peninsula."「Gascogne」

As Gascogne added detailed mapping to her algorithm, Hylia who had gone ahead a bit due to her curiosity about her surroundings, noticed signs of past civilization as they ventured further into the peninsula.

"Ohh..." (Hylia)

By using some of her recovered power, Hylia created few fireballs to illuminate her surrounding area.

The settlements resembled a village or the dwellings of ancient tribes on a remote island. Dirty and damp with mud, with rocky pave made of coral stone. The settlement was certainly not a beautiful or typical housing complex.

"Attention: Please don't step to far from Gascogne."「Gascogne」

On the other side, Gascogne who used her ability to pinpoint Hylia's location and track her, followed through the hole she had created in the wall. Maintaining caution as she materialized her spear weapon, ready to defend them both.

"Wahh!? Ahaha, sorry Sis Coney. But..." (Hylia)

It didn't take long for Gascogne to give Hylia's fireball a touch upon arriving behind her. When she arrived and found Hylia frozen in fear, Gascogne also became aware of the unpleasant sight before them.

"Is this, human bone and s-skeleton?"(Hylia)

"Based on the structure analysis, it's highly likely that these bones originate from humans. Further identification is required to improve the analysis report."「Gascogne」

There was a totem made of animal and possibly human skulls, and they also saw many scattered bones as they ventured further into the settlement area.

"We don't need to! Oww..." (Hylia)

Initially, they only wanted to take a look and leave, especially after seeing the unpleasant sight. Unfortunately, luck was not on their side.

A sudden complication arose from the poison in Hylia's body, forcing both of them to stop their escape and spend the night there.

"Please follow me."「Gascogne」

"Uhh, a-alright." (Hylia)

To be honest, Gascogne herself didn't want to make that place their base because her radar showed a multitude of hidden heat presences inside the house-like buildings, just like Hylia, who continued to sense the numerous auras in each house she passed.

But due to the limitations of her teleportation skill that couldn't be used continuously, and to protect the VIP, Gascogne decided to find a place with the least heat presence and lean Hylia against it.

"Uuuhh..." (Hylia)

When she arrived, Gascogne cut down various bone totems that bothered her. She didn't hesitate to destroy various pieces of furniture that disrupted the cleanliness of the area where Hylia lay.

This, of course, was not liked by the inhabitants there.

"Shhhaaaaa..."

"Alert, hostile detected."「Gascogne」

The ship girl heard some sounds originating from her back who then spreading around them. They seemed like roaches moving in a dark room, rustling in the corner, giving out a sense of alertness to anyone nearby.

The ship girl's suspicion was correct when she checked her radar again, there Gascogne saw multitude of heat presences that had moved from their former position and were now surrounding them.

Thanks to the cover of night and their dark skin, they might not be visible to the naked eye, but it was different for Gascogne who could clearly pinpoint their exact locations.

"Numerous hostile detected, and... this presence."「Gascogne」

The situation was becoming slightly dire, and as Gascogne kept an eye on her radar, there's another presence she recognized at a relatively moderate distance.

Unlike many monsters she hadn't seen before, she had marked this figure ever since they set foot on this island towards their objective.

One of her comrades, someone with a high ego yet a determination to overcome her shortcomings. That's what Gascogne understood about this ship girl. Currently, this ship girl was steadily approaching at a considerable speed.

"Shaaaa! Kiikkk..."

So far, all the heat presences that Gascogne had marked were still not moving to attack, except for one point where she saw a little girl with dirty, curly black hair who moved forward with a strange demeanor.

There's no doubt, she's also a part of them.

She continued to advance, her white eyes starkly visible without a trace of darkness. Slowly she raised her finger and pointed directly at Hylia who was gasping for breath, all the while grinning, revealing her yellow teeth.

Gascogne came to the realization that they were targeting Hylia, and it wasn't with benevolent intentions.

"Targets identified, activating subjugation module."「Gascogne」

From Gascogne's hands and legs, armaments emerged in the form of black-clad gauntlets and leg guards. They're vastly different from the stone, stick, and bone weapons wielded by the feral black child along with her tribe's member that keep shouting onto Gascogne.

When one of the settlement's inhabitants shouted while swinging their primitive weapon, Gascogne retaliated against the Islanders' attack.

They seemed eager to finish Gascogne off with their primitive bone weapons and sticks, but her armament wouldn't be easily destroyed by mere swings of sticks or arrows.

"Uhh... what is going on? Uhkk!? Gyaah? Get away!"(Hylia)

Hylia who realized the commotion found it difficult to keep her eyes closed as well.

〈Skull Islander Lv.50~60〉

〈Special attack: None〉

Some Skull Islanders even attempted to capture and bind Hylia's body when she was momentarily distracted. Although her legs and arms were caught a few times, luckily, her strength remained superior to that of the Islanders.

Upon seeing a multitude of human figures surrounding them, Hylia quickly moved to Gascogne's side to inquire about what they should do. Promptly, she received an explanation of their current situation.

"They're the one who grouped on us? Then... are we supposed to kill them?"(Hylia)

There was a sense of shock in her voice.

The girl had never once committed murder against living beings like humans or other humanoid races. Her usual actions involved eradicating monsters, and even those monsters they disappeared when inside the dungeon.

The closest encounter she had was when she fought Siren pawns, but even the Sirens couldn't be considered similar to humans as they exploded upon defeat. That's why she was hesitant to use her Thorned Staff, let alone Alastor's abilities to eliminate them.

"Report: Based on the instructions provided by Master, engaging in activities that involve "killing" human subjects will be interpreted as disqualification. Therefore, Gascogne will incapacitate them without causing harm."「Gascogne」

"Alright, then I'll restrain them." (Hylia)

Relighting the fire to keep them at bay, Hylia understood what she needed to do. However, she couldn't help but ponder Sakura Zeimachi's intentions behind such orders.

Forbidden to kill humanoid-like monsters and the threat of disqualification.

Hylia promised herself that she would seek clarification from the man.

"Notification: Gascogne is slightly concerned about your condition. Let Gascogne handle this."「Gascogne」

"It's okay. Though my right leg is difficult to move, I still have the other one. I won't burden you, Sis Coney." (Hylia)

Gascogne still had her doubts, but she eventually let it be. Similarly, although Hylia is curious about why Sakura Zeimachi had given such an order, she decided to let it go for now.

They continued to work together, using punches, kicks, staff strikes, and the heat of fire to push the Islanders back, preventing them from getting too close.

Sometimes using what was around them to their advantage was also an option, like using rocks for cover against the arrows and darts the Skull Islanders were hurling. 

And despite holding back their strength, it was quite easy for them to subdue the native Islanders. They could render them unconscious or, in the worst cases, inflict a few broken bones.

Although they managed to break a bone or two, there're still over two hundred bones left within their body so it's going to be alright. Additionally, while they inflicted some injuries, those wounds were not too severe.

The real concern was the poison spreading in Hylia's wound.

Time kept passing as the battle between Gascogne, Hylia, VS the Skull Islanders unfolded.

It was undeniable that Gascogne and Hylia had the upper hand, making it clear they would emerge victorious. However, the sheer number of Skull Islander natives was daunting.

It's worrisome to see Hylia's condition as the battle comes to an end, observing her leg turning increasingly blue and difficult to move.

This observation aligned with the assumption made by a ship girl mentioned earlier in Gascogne's conversation. She had just arrived and was looking down from her vantage point on the dividing wall of the peninsula's territory.

"Oh really? Having fun without me?"「Deutschland」 

Deutschland, who had reached the top of the stone wall, looked very pleased with the abundance of enemies available to showcase her abilities.

"Kahahaha! What a perfect timing!"「Deutschland」 

She was already too impatient to remain a spectator from above, so Deutschland decided to leap from the hundreds of meters tall wall and then wreak havoc upon all those beneath her feet.

<Deutschland Lv.75 used Color of Supreme King (Lv.2)>

"Huh?" (Hylia)

Of course, she didn't kill any of them. Truly an impressive feat.

...

....

.....

Azur Lane Academy.

The night is over and morning has come, celebrating this usual occasions, initially Sakura Zeimachi intended to carry out his usual morning routine which was to exercise with the ship girls.

"Now then, what should we do?" (Sakura Zeimachi)

After discussing many things with the girls while soaking in the hot spring, the man felt that he still had to deal with similar matters in the future.

Whether it was being a good listener to their complaints or a motivational advisor who could always solve the ship girls' problems, he couldn't sleep all night consumed by these thoughts.

"Hmm? ... Oh so Deutschland is next. Well not bad, the rest should follow not long after... About her details? Show it to me then." (Sakura Zeimachi)

A screen interface similar to what the ship girls had appeared. He initially didn't understand what the issue was with the ship girl's stats. However, since Als asked him to check, he decided to take a look, just in case.

"Yeah what's wrong with it? ... Believe it or not, those're her accomplishment when she's together with Amour. So I don't think there's any need to nerf her though? ... That's why she's ranked third." (Sakura Zeimachi)

After providing an explanation to one of his persona, Sakura Zeimachi dismissed the interface screen and promptly got up from his desk, heading towards a familiar location.

He also planned to meet with Akashi and inquire about various matters, especially regarding the R&D department and to learn more about their work, both related to the Academy and the data from the Observer's vassal they had stored there.

*Clack*

"Tta!?"「Taihou」

The man stretched his body as he walked through the door, which made a unique sound when it opened. Never had he expected there's someone that had been caught red-handed, peeping from the other side of the door.

"Hah! S-Shikikan-sama! I-It's not like what you think!"「Taihou」

"..." (Sakura Zeimachi)

A sharp gaze was directed at the ship girl, leaving her speechless and unsure of what to say. The longer Taihou received this intense gaze, the more panicked and worried she became.

It was indeed a typical playful act that Sakura Zeimachi often did to others.

"Umm... you see! Uhh ano... etto..."「Taihou」

"Joking dayo, I'm not angry... but well its just a little bit." (Sakura Zeimachi)

Feeling that his warning was sufficient, the man then playfully ruffled Taihou's hair before giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder and bidding her farewell. He couldn't bring himself to punish the girl this time.

"Hmm, now that I think about it... I haven't eat much lately didn't I?" (Sakura Zeimachi)

"!!!"「Taihou」

"Can you please create something for me Taihou-kun? I'll be happy with that. Also the next time you want to meet me, just knock on that door kay? Well if I'm in the office that is."(Sakura Zeimachi)

He waved his hand as he continued to walk towards the corridor to leave the commander's quarter. Allowing Taihou to absorb the words he had spoken, lost in her own imagination.

"Don't do it again, okay~" (Sakura Zeimachi)

"Yes... Shikikan-sama. Taihou, will deliver her best form of love through her bundle of joy!「Taihou」

Her commander, who had heard her slight admission, waved again and soon disappeared. This left Taihou feeling somewhat sad since she couldn't spend her time peeking at her commander through the keyhole.

Nonetheless, she was still happy because her commander had given her the opportunity to deepen their relationship. She continued to think about other ideas, like what type of food she should make, while reveling in the euphoria of the touch her commander had given her.

"Awww my commander, you're really too sweet. Even after what Taihou had done, you're still... ehehe~ Ahhh, I feel like melting... my sweet sweet commander♥"「Taihou」

Whatever it may be, it turned out her intimacy level with him was not that high. Compared to other girls, Taihou could be said to be in a relatively safer rank than those who are head over heels for him.

"For today breakfast... yes! I'll have him eat Taihou instead♥♥♥♥♥"「Taihou」 

Or not.
