"Huhu hu... Everyone, I'm so excited." Illustrious panted, "So girls soaking in hot springs is this stimulating? Please, by all means, increase the intensity."
Azuma's face flushed crimson. She said flusteredly, "How, how can you slander my innocence for no reason? That part of me hasn't hardened, and I don't feel anything at all."
Shokaku smiled mischievously, "Being stubborn is useless! After all, your body is telling me that you want it!"
Seeing Shokaku acting like a wolf, Azuma was terrified. She immediately called out to the Admiral for help. "Admiral! Don't just stand there watching! Come and save me!"
Illustrious ignored Azuma's plea for help; he even had the urge to pounce over and join in.
"It's useless! Look at the Admiral; it's already good enough that he hasn't pounced over." Shokaku blew a breath of hot air into Azuma's ear, "Azuma, relax, and give your body and mind to me. I'll make you even more comfortable."
The intense stimulation coming from her sensitive ear area made Azuma's body go limp. "If you dare to mess around, I guarantee I won't let you off."
"Saying things like that again, it seems I have to give you a little punishment." Shokaku slowly reached her right hand between Azuma's legs.
Illustrious's breathing became even more rapid. Just when Shokaku was about to succeed, Illustrious's nose suddenly sprayed blood, and he finally fell into the water. "To be able to see such beautiful scenery, this life of mine has been worth it." Illustrious sighed inwardly, and finally fainted.
Seeing Illustrious faint, Shokaku immediately stopped her hand movements. She immediately carried Illustrious back to Illustrious's room.
Seeing that she had been saved, Azuma was moved. "Admiral! You must have fainted to save me. Thank you. Without your help, I might have almost fallen."
Azuma forgave Illustrious for not saving her earlier; she now had a lot more favorable impression of the Admiral's actions just now.
...
Two hours later, Illustrious finally woke up. "Hmm! An unfamiliar ceiling."
"Admiral! You're awake! How is it? Are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Shokaku, who was accompanying Illustrious, asked.
"Hospital? No need, I'm completely fine! Even if it were a cow, I could beat it to death with one punch right now." Sitting up, leaning against the wall, Illustrious smiled and showed his fist.
"It's good that you're fine, but you still need to take care of your body! Honestly, suddenly having a nosebleed and all, it really scared me to death." Shokaku patted her chest, saying with lingering fear.
Looking around, Illustrious asked, "Where are the others? Why don't I see them?"
Shokaku brushed her hair. "Seeing that you hadn't woken up for two hours, I told the others to go eat first. After they finish eating, everyone will take turns looking after you."
"I didn't expect I'd slept for so long." Rubbing the back of his head, Illustrious said embarrassedly, "Sorry! I let you go without eating, and instead, you stayed here to take care of me."
Shokaku tilted her head. "You don't need to apologize to me! If anything, being the first one to see the Admiral wake up is simply lucky!"
Illustrious blushed a little. "Is that so? So that's how it is! I understand, but I still have to say thank you. Thank you for taking care of me while I was unconscious."
Shokaku suddenly approached Illustrious. Illustrious couldn't help but step back a little, and seeing Illustrious step back, Shokaku moved closer, until finally, Illustrious retreated to the wall. "Just saying thank you isn't enough! I want you to give me a practical reward."
Looking at how there was only 0.01 centimeters between his lips and Shokaku's lips, Illustrious had beads of sweat on his forehead. He said flusteredly, "Then, then how about I buy you a nice piece of clothing?"
Shokaku smiled faintly. "Nice clothes are indeed good, but that alone won't satisfy me."
"Then what else do you want? If it's cosmetics, beautiful bags, jewelry, or a sports car, I can satisfy you." Illustrious said with the air of someone wealthy.
Shokaku lifted Illustrious's chin and smiled. "I don't need any of those. What I want is—"
"— — You!"
"Eek! Me? Wait, don't do that..."
Before Illustrious could react, Shokaku kissed him forcefully, pushed him down onto the bed, and then pressed her entire body onto the Admiral.
Shokaku blew a breath of hot air into Illustrious's ear, then licked his face with her small tongue. "The Admiral's taste is truly delicious! No wonder Taihou goes to your room to find you once a week."
"That's a misunderstanding. Taihou and I didn't do anything. Really, you have to believe me." Illustrious lied and blushed a little. In reality, in order to resolve the fire of desire produced by Taihou's Fiery Phoenix body, he and Taihou had done everything.
"Admiral! Do I look like an idiot to you?" Shokaku's expression suddenly turned serious.
Illustrious said softly, "No, you're so smart. If you were an idiot, then everyone in the world would be an idiot."
Shokaku suddenly smiled. "That's right. You and Taihou have definitely done everything. You can lie to the other Ship Girls, but you definitely can't lie to me, because I am the person who understands you best."
Illustrious looked disbelieving. "Really? Then what is my favorite food?"
"It's strawberry cream cake, right?!"
"What! You even know this."
Shokaku said confidently, "Of course! As long as it concerns the Admiral, I know everything. For example, I also know about the little picture book under the bed."
Illustrious was shocked. "You even know that? No, wait, I don't have a little picture book. That was stuffed there by someone else. I'm a decent person; I absolutely don't look at any little picture books."
"Fine! I'll just take it as that." Shokaku tempted him, "Hey! Admiral! Do you want to do it with me?"
Illustrious started playing dumb. "Do what? I don't know what you're talking about! I think your current state is very strange. Do you want to go wash your face and sober up?"
"I feel very clear-headed right now, so stop playing dumb." Shokaku said with a serious face. "No matter what, I won't back down today. Although this might hurt someone, I have to do it, because if I hesitate any longer, I'm afraid I'll lose you."
"So you're that infatuated with me! I never expected that!" Illustrious had thought only Azuma liked her.
Shokaku suddenly became agitated. "That's only because you only have eyes for Azuma and haven't noticed the feelings of us other Ship Girls toward you."
Taking a deep breath, Illustrious said seriously, "I understand. I will correct this in the future, but could you please get up first!"
"No. No matter what happens today, I must have you." Shokaku gripped Illustrious's arms tightly.
"Shokaku! Don't be like this. We should take it slow; this isn't something that can be rushed." Illustrious tried to persuade her.
"Why not! Didn't you even sleep with Taihou? Sleeping with me sho
