The azure sky, the blue sea, and a flock of seagulls flying freely in the air.
A warship docked at the port area of a small island, and two young women with graceful figures slowly stepped off the vessel.
Stepping onto the ground and breathing deeply, the air here felt fresh! It was very comfortable and pleasant.
The scenery on this small island was exceptionally beautiful, filled with a quiet aesthetic, like a paradise away from the world.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Seeing Illustrious's satisfied expression, Enterprise spoke to her in a calm tone.
Illustrious said happily, "This place is wonderful!"
"Illustrious, this will be your Naval Base from now on. Congratulations on becoming an honorable Admiral," Enterprise congratulated her.
"Enterprise, thank you for taking care of me all this time. I will do my best to become an excellent Admiral." Illustrious was also very happy; after waiting so long, she finally had her own Naval Base.
"However, you should reconsider being the Governor's Ship Girl." Enterprise hadn't given up and wanted to try persuading her again.
Becoming an Admiral wasn't easy. First, you needed a "soul network," something not everyone possessed.
Only one in a hundred thousand people had a soul network. Furthermore, soul networks ranged from Grade C to Grade S. Most people with one were Grade C, a small portion were Grade B or A, and there were legendary six people who were Grade S.
In the entire world, there were only six people with a Grade S soul network—no, now it was six people plus one ship, and that ship was Illustrious.
Enterprise was shocked at the time. Illustrious was a Ship Girl! Why did she have a soul network, and a legendary Grade S one at that?
"Enterprise, don't try to persuade me anymore. Being an Admiral is my dream, and I won't give up." Illustrious directly rejected Enterprise's kindness.
Hearing Illustrious's unhesitating answer, Enterprise felt incredibly sad. Did she really not want to stay by her side that much? However, she always kept a straight face and hid her feelings well.
Enterprise said solemnly, "Since you're so persistent, I won't try to persuade you further. Take care, Illustrious."
After saying that, Enterprise turned around quite coolly and walked toward the escort ship.
Illustrious chased after her and shouted, "Enterprise!"
Hearing Illustrious's shout, Enterprise stopped and slowly turned around. "What is it?"
A soft sound rang out.
Enterprise's eyes widened in disbelief. She had actually been forcibly kissed by Illustrious, and her body began to struggle desperately.
How could Illustrious let her go? She used all her strength to hold Enterprise's body tightly, her eyes gazing affectionately at her.
Gazing into Illustrious's affectionate eyes, Enterprise gave up her struggle.
Ten minutes passed before the two ships separated reluctantly.
"Don't be so unhappy. It's not a life-and-death parting. If you want to see me, you can find me anytime," Illustrious said with a smile.
"My... my first kiss, it's gone," Enterprise whispered.
"Huh... what? Speak up, say it again." Illustrious pretended she couldn't hear clearly and asked Enterprise to repeat herself.
"My first kiss is gone!" Enterprise shouted, her face flushed red.
Wait, what was wrong with her? Why was she acting like a girl in love acting spoiled with the boy she liked? Enterprise cried out inwardly that this was bad.
No, no, she was the cool and majestic Enterprise! How could she be like this? Enterprise immediately straightened her face and hypnotized herself: I am a robot, I have no emotions... Enterprise solemnly glanced at Illustrious and saw the half-smile on her face. She immediately understood—this girl had definitely heard what she whispered earlier.
Enterprise's composure shattered, and she lunged directly at Illustrious.
"You bastard, making a fool out of me! I'll fight you!"
Enterprise circled behind Illustrious and locked her neck tightly under her arm.
She thought Illustrious would admit her mistake, but instead, Illustrious sniffed and said, "Enterprise, your body scent is so fragrant! And your chest is so soft!"
Heavens! This girl was beyond saving. Enterprise tightened her grip on the neck lock.
Illustrious couldn't take it and cried out, "I'm... I'm dying! I... I surrender! Spare... spare me!"
"Do you dare do it again?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Illustrious added in her heart: I'll dare do it again next time.
Hearing Illustrious admit her mistake, Enterprise, being the bigger person, slowly let her go.
Huff, huff... Illustrious caught her breath and looked at Enterprise resentfully. "I almost got killed by you."
"Hmph! If you dare tease me again next time, I'll choke you to death," Enterprise threatened, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Choke me to death? Would you really have the heart?" Illustrious smiled.
"I..." Fine! Enterprise couldn't bear for Illustrious to die. If you died, I wouldn't want to live either, she thought. But her mouth refused to admit it: "Do you want to try and see if I have the heart?"
"No, no, no!!!" Illustrious waved her hands.
"That kiss just now was also my first kiss~ See? I gave my first time to you!" Illustrious said, staring intently at Enterprise.
"Alright, it's really time to say goodbye now. Bye-bye!" Illustrious headed toward her Naval Base. "Enterprise, when you go back, say hello to that perverted big-breast-obsessed loli Governor for me."
"Got it, Illustrious. And remember to call me often!" Enterprise shouted at Illustrious's back.
"I know!" Illustrious raised her hand and waved it in the air.
Having received a reply, Enterprise stared at Illustrious's back for a long time before reluctantly turning to walk toward the escort ship... Far away in the Governor's office within the Pacific Governors Mansion, a loli sat on a chair reviewing documents. She signed her name 'Lilith' on a file and stamped it.
Lilith had long, golden twin-tails, wine-red eyes, cherry-colored small lips, and flawless fair skin.
Unfortunately, she was as flat as an ironing board, only 1.4 meters tall, and twenty-one years old—a legal loli.
"Achoo!" Lilith sneezed.
"Someone must be talking bad about me behind my back." Lilith looked around left and right. Also, why did she feel like her head was a bit green?
An illusion, an illusion, it must be an illusion. How could her own Ship Girls do anything to betray her?
"I wonder if Illustrious and the others have arrived yet." Lilith looked in a certain direction—the direction of Illustrious's Naval Base.
Speaking of which, that girl Lexington actually left me so many documents. I'm just a child! I haven't even finished my manga! I was just getting to the good part when I was dragged here to slave away.
Let me see how many are left... Oh my god! How is there still more than half! Wuwuwu! How long is it going to take me to finish these!
