"Enterprise, SG told me an unidentified vessel appeared in the Sea ahead, it might be a Siren."
On the deck of the Eagle Union flagship Yorktown II, Helena, sensing an anomaly in the sea area, came to inform Enterprise.
Enterprise nodded, saying, "Understood, I'll handle it."
"Wait!"
Yorktown, also enjoying the breeze nearby, called out to Enterprise, who was about to free-fall into the sea.
"Helena, are you sure there's only one ship?"
"Y-yes! SG didn't detect any accompanying vessels, but the possibility of a submarine cannot be ruled out."
Radar mapping is ultimately based on the patterns returned by electromagnetic wave collisions; objects beneath the surface require other types of equipment, such as sonar detection devices.
"What's wrong, Sister? Are you worried about an ambush?"
"Hmm, it's a bit strange for just one ship to be sailing at sea. If it's a Siren, at this distance, we should also be exposed to their view."
"So, if it's an enemy, they're confident they can deal with our fleet, which is why they're constantly approaching?"
Enterprise frowned. Sirens always appeared with several times the force of Shipgirls.
This situation was indeed rare.
"Um... could it be friendly forces? Like a lone Shipgirl or something? Look, didn't Commander just return recently? Maybe it's a ship from our Northern Parliament or Iron Blood comrades?"
"Helena is right; we can't rule out the possibility of it being friendly forces. Alright, Enterprise, call Belfast to go with you. Whether it's friend or foe, you'll have each other's backs."
"Okay, Sister."
...
Soon.
Enterprise found Belfast on the Royal flagship Warspite and explained her purpose.
"Understood. It seems we'll be fighting side by side again, Miss Enterprise."
"Ah, I'll be in your care."
"Hehe."
Belfast smiled elegantly, then turned to report her departure to her Senior.
"Senior Warspite, please take care of everyone for a while."
"Go, and don't disgrace the Royal."
"Yes! Senior Warspite!"
...
On the vast, boundless ocean, Enterprise and Belfast walked side by side.
One was primarily offensive, the other defensive; they were the best-matched pair in the current sortie fleet.
After sailing for more than ten minutes, a familiar-looking aircraft carrier appeared before them.
"That emblem... it's Sakura Empire!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this ship is the Sakura Empire's Yamato-class aircraft carrier, Shinano?"
The two exchanged glances, simultaneously thinking of an incredible conjecture.
Shinano had returned to the Sakura Empire Port with the main force of the Sakura Empire.
And the satellite phone call a few days ago had confirmed the Commander's presence in the Sakura Empire.
Now seeing Shinano, did it also mean their Commander was on that ship?
"Should we send a signal?"
"I don't think it's necessary anymore; someone is coming towards us."
From afar, Enterprise saw several dark figures leap from the ship; one of them floated in the air, while the others, like them, walked on the water's surface.
2000m... 1000m... 500m...
The distance grew shorter, and the figures became clearer.
Enterprise and Belfast's speed of advance also increased.
Eventually, upon seeing the young man flying at the front of the group, their speed of gliding across the water directly cut out two small tidal waves on the sea surface.
Whoosh! —
With an abrupt stop, Enterprise and Belfast halted in front of the young man.
"Yorktown-class aircraft carrier, Ship No. 2, Enterprise, reporting to you, my Commander!"
"Greetings, Master (sama, translated as 'Adult'), Edinburgh-class light cruiser, Belfast, reporting to you~"
One resolute and brave, the other elegant and meticulous.
With just a single sentence, Jack perceived the full scope of their character from their actions and demeanor.
They were all individuals with distinct personalities.
"Welcome, Enterprise, Belfast. Join me back to the fleet."
Jack opened his arms to them.
The two rushed into his embrace like swallows returning to their nest.
Although their bodies were warmed, they still carried a hint of doubt.
"Sorry, Commander, we heard we'd meet in about two days, but we didn't expect to now..."
"Hmm, to see my lovely Shipgirls sooner, your Commander took a shortcut, just to give you a surprise."
"A surprise, huh..."
Enterprise felt her heart connected to Jack's, that long-unsettled rapid heartbeat, she truly didn't know whether it represented "shock" or "joy."
Subsequently, despite having a myriad of questions, the two obediently allowed Jack to carry them onto the ship, Shinano's ship.
...
Inside the ship's lounge.
"Come, as per custom, I'll give you your Charms first."
Jack handed the Maid Charms to Enterprise and Belfast.
"And then the gods eye."
The two foolishly accepted the gods eye.
"Finally, a kiss of reunion and an oath to answer most of your questions."
Jack leaned his body towards the valiant young girl Enterprise, who hadn't yet reacted, and she tilted her head back, falling directly onto the sofa.
"Eh?"
After a cute sound of confusion, Enterprise showed a side of herself she had never revealed before, charming and demure, responding to Jack's every move with both innocence and passion.
Mmm~ *smooch*~
A few minutes later.
Enterprise felt a large amount of knowledge buzzing in her mind, sweet and overwhelming.
"Next is Belfast."
"Wait! Master, can Belfast change positions?"
"What position do you want?"
Belfast stood up, tiptoed, and draped her arms around Jack's neck, whispering, "Like this, is it okay?"
Her breath brushed his face, carrying a faint scent of black tea.
Jack closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, feeling quite tipsy.
"Good, very elegant."
Compared to Enterprise, who was pressed onto the sofa and passionately kissed, Belfast was much more proactive.
That somewhat questionable maid skill was put into practice for the first time, even making Jack, an experienced veteran, feel quite aroused from the kiss.
After a long while, their lips parted.
*Clap clap clap!*
Musashi, who had come to watch the fun, clapped her hands.
"As expected of the Head Maid, you are the first person I've seen who didn't fall behind in their first 'battle' with the Commander."
Clearly, Belfast must have practiced this hypothetical scenario many times, otherwise, she wouldn't be so skilled.
In response.
Our Head Maid gently took out a handkerchief to wipe away the saliva remaining on Jack's lips. After putting it away, she clasped her hands in front of her lower abdomen and bowed slightly.
"Miss Musashi, you flatter me. Serving Master, dedicating oneself to Master, is merely a compulsory course for every Royal Maid."
Every... compulsory course... that's too exaggerated!
Musashi smiled on the surface, but inwardly, she began to feel a sense of crisis.
One could only say that it was indeed the Royal; their awareness in this regard was far ahead of the Sakura Empire's.
While the Sakura Empire Shipgirls were still immersed in individual operations of yandere-like possessiveness (I'm talking about you, Taihou, Akagi), others had already been planning as a group for so long, and so deeply.
They were practically losing at the starting line!
Musashi hurried away.
It seemed she was preparing to find Nagato to discuss major plans that could affect the future direction of the Sakura Empire.
Jack watched this scene with interest. Just now, Belfast's actions had tickled his curiosity, and his interest in this aspect was no less than Musashi's.
"A maid's essential course? Interesting. Can you tell me more?"
Belfast, on the other hand, revealed a mysterious smile: "My sister Sirius is currently with the welcoming fleet. Once our sisters are reunited, Master will be able to experience what true Royal Maid skills are~"
