Minato meets his ex-girlfriend

………………

21: 00.

"..."

"Is it really okay?"

"Ah, it's okay... No, it's not..."

Next to the commander was Katsuragi, who was sitting on the bed, looking extremely nervous.

Even the commander became nervous.

If he had to do it, Katsuragi himself might not be able to adapt.

The commander himself was a little uncomfortable.

After all, it is the Saratoga of the Sakura Empire.

Anyway, let me explain the situation.

After talking about color in the restaurant, we went to the stage of Tank Road, a spot recommended by Katsuragi, and enjoyed the feeling of a date.

I didn't expect that Katsuragi, a carrier with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray the interests of the navy and go to the Tank Lane.

We went to see the hotel that was hit by a shell in the Tank Drive movie, and the real hotel actually replicated the marks of the shell.

Katsuragi burst out laughing and said he couldn't help laughing no matter how many times he saw it.

Then, under the guidance of Katsuragi, we toured the small city.

Then we came to Katsuragi's house and had dinner.

After taking a shower, I changed into new clothes, and that's it until now.

"……that."

"what happened?"

Katsuragi suddenly greeted the commander.

The commander was puzzled.

"So, why are you so calm?"

"Why... this..."

It's probably the strength of hundreds of thousands of tons of shipboard experience. After counting, it seems that there are already five.

But the commander would never say such a thing.

"You are really skilled..."

Katsuragi muttered to himself.

The commander was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Some time passed in silence.

"Shokaku and the others said...it will be painful at first."

"Eh?"

"To be honest, I'm a little scared... so I'm a little nervous. It's not that I hate doing that with you, but I heard it hurts..."

"Katsuragi..."

It turned out to be the case.

"Huh!? Wait? Katsuragi, what are you doing?"

"I'm taking off my clothes! I can just do it in one go, right?!"

"Hey Hey hey!"

Although this kind of restlessness is understandable, please don’t rush over all of a sudden, it’s really scary!

"Hold me quickly!"

"...Calm down for a moment."

"I'm calm! Come on, please, I'm really ready!"

“…Is it really okay?”

As a precautionary measure, the commander finally confirmed.

"I'm really fine... so... just hold me."

"……I see."

The commander hugged Katsuragi gently, trying to calm her down.

Katsuragi's uneasiness was gradually relieved, and he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry I'm a troublesome woman."

And then――

"Well, are you okay?"

"It's not as painful as I thought it would be. I always feel nervous like I'm doing a bill."

After that, at Katsuragi's request, he came several more times.

Then--

“Hmm…”

Katsuragi sleeps very sweetly.

The commander was also a little sleepy, as he was physically exhausted after running all day.

What a peaceful day.

Compared with the past, the South China Sea Port area is now much more peaceful and has never been attacked so far.

"Well... dear..."

Katsuragi, who was lying next to him, muttered in his sleep.

It still looks pretty cute.

The commander is also very sleepy. He has to go back to the port to work tomorrow and cannot let lack of sleep affect his work.

"Goodnight, Katsuragi."

As he said this, he fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 381: I don't know what's in the mirror

Five days later.

Nanhai Port Area, factory.

"Ms. Katsuragi."

“—Huh?”

"Are you okay? Your face is red."

"Nothing, nothing! Yes, nothing's wrong!"

Katsuragi answered in panic. There was no other way. She was still thinking about what happened five days ago, the date with the commander.

Because I was very nervous, I took off my clothes like crazy at the beginning.

I might be considered a nympho by the commander, so I couldn't help but stare blankly.

I wanted to explain it afterwards, but I didn’t know where to start, which was really frustrating.

Her face turned red because she thought about that incident. Yubari probably said that because he was worried about her.

"Anyway."

In order to change the subject, Katsuragi said, "Hurry up and take down the things installed on my deck."

That's right, this is why she came to the factory.

Yubari inexplicably installed something on her deck, something for close combat.

What the hell? Using the deck for close combat is weird, isn't it?

"But if the opponent is a deep-sea ship or an exercise target, with this thing, we can have new countermeasures, right? This can increase the survival rate. This is what the more the better!"

"Before the enemy approaches, or before I approach, the machine gun can handle the close-range attack, so there is no need."

"Eh!? Why is that? Miss Katsuragi, please use it just once..."

"No, it's impossible!"

I don't want to do it at all. I don't like the thought of it. The feeling of having my hands covered in the blood of the enemy is too disgusting.

"Then can we use blades and nails instead?!"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Then let's add something new to the ship's equipment..."

"No, no, no!"

Facing Yubari's nagging, Katsuragi was going crazy.

"…What are you doing?"

At this time, a passing ship girl asked a question.

Katsuragi looked towards the source of the sound and saw that it was Little Swan.

When Yubari was forcing him, Little Swan came.

"I'm here to get the ship's equipment operation data that I asked Yubari to test... Let me ask again, what are you doing?"

Little Swan asked again, so Katsuragi explained the whole story.

Then the little swan's cold eyes fell on Yubari -

"Are you forcing Miss Katsuragi to join the new fleet even though she clearly doesn't want to?"

After hearing the explanation, Cygnet decided to side with Katsuragi.

This girl had always been a trouble maker in the South Sea Port area, but since she started dating the commander, she has become a very steady and serious ship girl, returning to her very decent healing attitude.

If the little swan was still the black-bellied goose, it would probably stand on Yubari's side, right?

“…I think it’s very ordinary.”

"Your normality is different from Katsuragi's normality. You can't force it on others, right?"

"...Ha...Okay, I won't do it. I was planning to let Miss Katsuragi debut in close combat."

Yubari finally calmed down.

While complaining, Yubari helped Little Swan get the ship girl's operating data.

"Ms. Katsuragi, are you okay?"

"Ah, thanks to the little swan, I'm fine now. Thank you."

Katsuragi thanked him quickly.

If it weren't for Little Swan, her ship outfit would probably have become Yubari's new toy.

"..."

"Little Swan, are you okay?"

Katsuragi noticed a pained look on Cygnet's face.

When you make this kind of expression, it usually means you are hallucinating.

So――

The day after Katsuragi's date with the commander, he called her to his office and asked her if she had any auditory hallucinations.

According to the commander, anyone who dates him will definitely experience auditory hallucinations the next day.
