Everyone continued to remain silent, indicating that they could bear it, because they didn't want to sink so early.
Seeing Laffey backstroke over to his side, Illustrious said happily, "Hmm! Laffey, you're still the best! You're actually still swimming. I understand. To not let down your expectations, when I go back, I'll only make the invincible starry-eyed pie for you to eat, not for them."
Ayanami reminded him, "Admiral, please spare Laffey! She's just asleep and floating on the water to your side; she doesn't actually want to eat the food you make."
"Tch! Boring!" Seeing that he couldn't persuade anyone, Illustrious had no choice but to stop, pout, and quietly soak in the hot spring.
Haman curiously came to Illustrious's side. "Admiral! Those two things of yours are floating in the water!"
Lowering his head and looking at those two big rabbits floating up, Illustrious said calmly, "The density of breast fat is lower than water, and combined with the fibrous structure, it's normal for them to float. Don't make such a big fuss."
"Does that mean as long as you have breasts, they can float?" Haman asked, blinking her cute big eyes.
"It's not just about having breasts! They also need to reach a certain volume standard." Illustrious glanced at Haman's chest and shook his head. "Like your A-cup, they definitely won't float."
The Admiral's words hurt Haman's fragile heart. She pouted and said angrily, "I'll still grow! They'll definitely get bigger in the future."
Illustrious said calmly, "Then you need to work hard. Try drinking milk and eating papaya; I believe they will definitely grow by then."
"Is that why the Admiral grew so big, because you drank milk and ate papaya?" Haman pressed.
Illustrious said softly, "I don't need to! Because I was this big as soon as I was born."
Haman bent her knees and hunched over, feeling dejected. "So I lost at the starting line!"
Seeing Haman's dejected look, Illustrious immediately comforted her, "The great Confucian scholar Confucius once said, 'If the chest is not flat, how can one flatten the world?'" [Confucius: I never said that, but flat chests are indeed the best!]
"So Haman, you don't have to be so sad! You know, flat chests are a rare resource; there are many people in this world who specifically like that sort of thing."
Haman rekindled her hope and asked tentatively, "Then does the Admiral like girls with flat chests?"
Illustrious said seriously, "Nope! I like girls with big breasts, because compared to plains, giant peaks have a better feel and are very soft to touch."
"Waaaaah! Azuma! The Admiral is bullying me." Haman cried and went to Azuma.
Azuma hugged Haman and gently stroked her head. "There, there! Don't cry! Haman, you're a strong girl, you can't be knocked down so easily."
"Admiral! It's wrong for you to bully Haman like this!"
Illustrious rubbed the back of his head, puzzled, and said, "I didn't bully her! I was just honestly stating my preferences. Is that a mistake too?"
The crying Haman calmed down under Azuma's comfort, but after feeling the soft sensation on her face, she immediately pulled away from the "face wash," stared at Azuma's pair of big rabbits that didn't lose to the Admiral's, and Haman started crying again. "Waaaaah! Even Azuma is bullying me."
Scratching her head with her finger, Azuma had beads of sweat on her forehead. "This is really troublesome! Why is she crying again?!"
"Admiral! Look at you, you made Haman cry again. Aren't you coming over to comfort her properly?"
Illustrious sighed. "It seems like you were the one who made her cry this time!"
Azuma immediately gave a death stare. Seeing this, Illustrious gave in. "Sorry! It was me who made her cry this time."
Illustrious went to Azuma's side and comforted Haman, "Haman! You don't need to be sad about your flat chest. You know, some people don't even have an A. Look at Laffey, she's a good example. She doesn't even have an A, but isn't she happy every day?"
If the sleeping Laffey floating in the water were to wake up and hear this, she would definitely retort that this was truly being hit while lying down!
People only have highlights when there is comparison. When one is unfortunate, discovering that others are even more unfortunate leads to self-comfort in one's heart. "Look, they are much more miserable than you." After this comparison, one's mood instantly becomes comfortable.
For Haman right now, she felt the same. When she discovered that Laffey's chest was smaller than hers—ah! No! It should be said that Laffey didn't even have a chest at all. "Admiral! You're right, some people are much more miserable than me, so I should be happier too."
Haman happily hummed a little tune and continued soaking in the hot spring, while Illustrious said triumphantly, "See! You have to comfort them like this."
Azuma was speechless. She hadn't expected that the Admiral's way of comforting would work; it really opened her eyes.
Illustrious looked around and found that one person was missing from the hot spring, and that person was Shokaku. "Zuikaku, why don't I see your sister?"
"She's enjoying herself on the massage chair! I guess she'll come over to soak in the hot spring in a while." Zuikaku said expressionlessly.
Illustrious recalled the feeling of that massage chair. "A massage chair, huh! That thing is indeed very comfortable to sit in."
"Hmm! I seem to have heard someone calling my name. Are you talking bad about me behind my back?"
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Just as Illustrious and the others finished speaking, they saw Shokaku walking towards the hot spring pool with elegant steps.
Shokaku immediately came behind Zuikaku and placed her hands on her chest. "Zuikaku! Tell me, are you talking bad about your sister?"
The ambushed Zuikaku blushed, her legs went weak, and she said, "Stop it, don't touch there! I didn't talk bad about you just now."
"You won't say it, right? Then I have no choice but to increase the intensity." Shokaku seemed dissatisfied with Zuikaku's answer, so she continued to carry out her evil deeds.
"Zuikaku, this part of you has grown quite a bit recently. Sister is very pleased!"
"Sister, spare me! Otherwise, my head is going to start feeling strange."
"If you want me to let you go, that's fine, but tell me quickly who was talking bad about me."
Feeling like something was about to come out between her legs, Zuikaku tightly clamped her legs together. In order not to be attacked by her sister again, she immediately pointed to Azuma. "It was Azuma who talked bad about you. Go find her!"
Shokaku let go of Zuikaku and pounced on Azuma, placing her hands on that pair of towering peaks. "Azuma! Was it you who talked bad about me?"
"I didn't talk bad about you, you have to believe in my character!" Azuma was almost crying. She hadn't expected such an unexpected disaster; it was all Zuikaku's fault.
Seeing Azuma cast a murderous gaze, Zuikaku immediately turned her head away. She thought to herself, "Sorry! Azuma, as the saying goes, better you than me. Rest in peace!"
"It's no good, my body is starting to feel strange. Shokaku, if you keep doing this, I'm going to get angry." Azuma issued a warning.
Shokaku directly ignored the warning. Her hands didn't stop; instead, she used more force. "Oh ho! This part has actually hardened. Azuma, it seems you're starting to feel something."
