"If… Mikasa, are you planning to deceive…"
"Amagi!!"
Mikasa roared, then looked at the scene of Taihou and Akagi's fierce battle, her voice softening: "A strategist needs logic, a leader… does not!"
Amagi bowed: "Understood. Then, Mikasa, what is the topic you wish to discuss?"
"Time spent with the Commander."
"Do you intend to use this as a reward to restrict their daily actions?"
"Precisely."
"In that case, we can set up an assessment system: those who perform well get bonus points, those who perform averagely remain unchanged, and those who perform poorly get deductions. To preserve their future time with the Commander, I believe they will surely restrain themselves somewhat."
"That's not enough! If they were truly so easy to manage, it would be great. We need something that will be a decisive blow!"
"A decisive blow…"
Amagi pondered for a long time but couldn't find anything that could strike directly at the hearts of those two.
Until Unzen, who usually remained silent but surprised everyone when she spoke, reminded her.
"Exclusive possession."
"!!"
A piece of information flashed in Amagi's mind: "That's right, exclusive possession!!
We can treat time spent with the Commander as a kind of 'currency' equivalent. Accumulating a certain amount can be exchanged for special items, such as rewards like 'enjoying an exclusive day off with the Commander.'
This way, even if it's a loan of non-existent future time, they will restrain themselves for a short period for the sake of this anticipation!"
At this point, Mikasa was satisfied with the answer.
"We have the basic framework, but we still need some assistance."
She looked at Musashi.
Musashi smiled: "Is there anything you need me to do?"
"This rule cannot originate from the Sakura Empire, otherwise its effectiveness on the two of them will be too low."
"So, Mikasa, you mean to…"
"Borrow the power of Shinano's dream."
"No problem, I'll go notify my sister."
…
Thus, the future time allocation bill for the Commander was transmitted in the form of Shinano's dream prophecy.
Mikasa used "advance notification" as a reassurance, giving it to the two yandere Shipgirls to consume.
Coupled with the presence of Unzen, the mystical Grand Sage, by her side.
Although Taihou and Akagi couldn't be sure if it was true or false, they adopted the principle of rather trying than missing out, and finally settled down.
The two carefully calculated their points, looking forward to converting them into a real day after the Commander's return.
…
"So that's it, there's such a story behind this."
Jack looked at Nagato and Amagi with relief, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.
"It's been truly hard on you all, taking care of the Sakura Empire family while I was away."
"Fool! Why do I need such sentimental words from you?! Besides, you already have that kind of ability, making us, who meticulously planned everything, look like idiots!"
"Oh my, Nagato-chan is shy. Commander, you can say more, she loves to hear it."
"Ama! Gi!"
"Yes, yes, I won't say more. The Flagship-sama certainly has a lot of authority, don't you think so, my dear Commander-sama ~wink☆~"
Taihou shrieked.
Her fox-spirit radar detected Amagi releasing another charm attack on the Commander.
Jack.
"Wow, Mikasa-senpai, you have a successor!"
Zuikaku nudged Mikasa's shoulder.
"Haha! As expected of Taihou, she's certainly got the spirit!"
Mikasa's unintentional words stirred Taihou's competitive spirit.
Despite her reluctance, she forced herself to move forward.
"Cough, cough!"
Finally, Taihou, with great effort, managed to get through it.
!!
Amagi and Nagato's eyes widened, completely shocked.
What's going on?! This is unbelievable...
Jack lifted Taihou's chin, meeting her tear-filled eyes.
"They're lying to you. No one has ever done this before; you... are the first."
"Commander-sama~~"
Taihou was incredibly moved.
The Commander is truly amazing. Although it wasn't exactly what she imagined, it's clear that only she, Taihou, is the most compatible with the Commander!
She threw herself into Jack's arms again and started crying.
In a short period of time.
Taihou, this yandere girl, had already been made to cry three times.
"Um... Nagato, can Taihou exchange the accumulated time for more opportunities to serve the Commander?"
After crying for a short while, Taihou's rationality suddenly returned, and she asked the Flagship for permission.
"You mean that? Although it hasn't been fully announced yet, the original Commander Time Allocation Protocol is already a Abandoned."
"??"
Taihou froze for a moment, then her expression visibly twisted: "Hehehe, so that's how it is, was it all just to deceive the Shipgirls?!"
"You misunderstood my meaning."
"I don't want to hear it!"
Taihou covered her ears, and all the happy moments she had fantasized about being alone with the Commander shattered in her mind.
"Dai..."
"Let me do it."
Nagato still wanted to explain something, but a warm, gentle voice came, immediately calming everyone present.
Jack picked up Taihou, using vines to gently restrain her.
Ah!
Taihou's pupils dilated.
Her entire being instantly softened.
"Commander~"
"Can you listen properly to what Commander has to say now, my Taihou?"
"Mm? N-no, Commander, you... mmm~... speak~"
Taihou placed her hands on Jack's shoulders, her body trembling slightly.
Snap!
Nagato clenched her fists.
She felt as if she was being NTR'd right in front of her.
But then she remembered Jack's ability to create worlds and manipulate time, and she calmed down.
There will be opportunities later.
At that time, she must make the Commander understand why a Battleship is a Battleship (referring to endurance and combat power).
On the other side, Jack wanted to convey knowledge to Taihou through a kiss.
He wanted to elaborate on the Creator's abilities he had explained to everyone earlier, because Taihou had been so focused on him that she probably hadn't listened at all.
But Taihou covered his mouth.
"No... don't! Just now, Taihou was feeling a bit embarrassed..."
"Heh heh, do you think I'd be disgusted by these things?"
His divine body was never described as dirty or impure.
Even the essence of plants was a great tonic, rich in elemental nutrients.
Ignoring Taihou's protest, Jack kissed her.
Then, knowledge began to flow.
Creator, other worlds, independent time, the ability to give everyone a chance to be alone with the Commander...
All sorts of information streams impacted Taihou's worldview.
Then, under Jack's mending, it slowly took shape.
Two minutes later, Jack released her lips and looked at Taihou gently.
"Do you understand now why Nagato and Amagi want to abolish the Commander Time Allocation Protocol, which they spent so much effort creating?"
Taihou nestled against Jack like a small bird, her eyes shining with understanding.
"Taihou... mmm~... understands!"
This was simply the best era.
She didn't have to compete with Akagi, Roon, and others.
Every Shipgirl could have her own exclusive enjoyment... no, her own exclusive time to accompany the Commander.
