81. Because the Stealth Ability is Too Good

They were not strangers to begin with, and now they were just temporarily sealing the Imaginary Fleet due to strategic needs. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they quickly gathered together and resumed their various nonsensical conversations that only those with nothing to do could have.

"——So, the Commander actually has a small appetite, right?"

Even while doing the backstroke in the pool, Plan Ship No. 1 still had the energy to ask the several shipgirls on the shore. The superhuman abilities of the shipgirls were evident.

"But with the Commander's usual appetite, you guys gave him such a large meal of meat and fish from the start. The Commander definitely couldn't finish it, right? I bet two buckets of oil that the Commander won't be able to finish all that food in the canteen. No, not even a third of it."

"Onee-san, that kind of bet is meaningless."

Lazily leaning against the wire fence, Plan Ship No. 2's dead fish eyes followed the trajectory of her sister swimming, and she said indifferently.

"As I said, the Commander didn't eat much and went straight back."

"Yes, it was my mistake, making the Commander work secretly again."

Pressing her leg joints, No. 111 suddenly sighed and lay flat on the tiled floor, her beautiful face full of sorrow, like a wife who saw her home in chaos and her husband stealing money to gamble.

"Even though the Commander is just a human, he always thinks he is more capable than us. Is it just because of the difference in appearance and gender that he has to be so stubborn?"

"Ah, that's what they call machismo, the romance of men, right?"

And it's said that even at the human headquarters, there are still teams that can't bear to use shipgirls in battle.

After touching the wall of the pool with her fingertips, Plan Ship No. 1 used the force of her fingertips to push herself in a circular motion, creating a white wave in the pool, and then resumed her leisurely swimming, just changing direction.

Where did you get that subtle information from?

Watching Plan Ship No. 1 playfully in the pool, No. 111 shook her head helplessly, then lay on the ground and closed her eyes slightly.

The sunlight before noon shone on her smooth back, making water droplets roll down from her shoulder blades to her waist and onto the ground, adding a touch of moisture to the tiles. Feeling the cold texture against her face, No. 111 sighed softly.

As initially said, the longer one knows the Commander, the more one is gradually attracted to this man. A man who works hard and is dedicated to his career is indeed beautiful, and a man who works hard has his own charm. A gentle and understanding man is even rarer. And all these qualities combined are what make the Commander.

But to say, the Commander's strength and spirit are always subtly concealed. Even though he is now the second-in-command of the naval base, there are still countless mysteries.

"Really, Commander... it's too much..."

Fingering the polished tiles, No. 111's sigh grew even deeper.

Even though he has all the power, he always feels lost.

A layer of mist called time envelops the Commander, bringing him endless secrets and a profound sense. What happened in the past? And that very thing is what made the Commander become who he is now.

But the frustrating thing is, no one knows what it is. Whether it's Enterprise or anyone else, no one knows.

Even if you ask the Commander, he will just smile, pat his head, and deflect the question.

You're not a woman, you know? Women with secrets are charming, but what's the point of a man being mysterious? It's not cute at all, not interesting at all! It just makes people hate you, you damn Commander!

Just thinking about the Commander's smile and his deflection makes No. 111 grind her teeth in anger. If he just said it, it would be fine, what's the need to hide it?

Is there some reason he must hide it?

"Always feel so tired as the flagship..."

Ignoring the others' gazes, No. 111 vented her frustration, lying on the ground and speaking gloomily.

"Always feel on edge, always feel that the Commander has something untouchable, so I have to be careful, how can I be happy!"

"Moreover, even though I've been in this position for almost a week, I feel like there are even more mysteries. The Commander definitely has something wrong, but I can't put my finger on it. Miss DS-1 doesn't say anything, Miss Sara doesn't say anything, what am I supposed to do..."

"Because no one asks me."

"Eek—!"

"That, even if you 'eek' like that, I've been sitting here reading a book from the start? And I was the first one here. You all came later."

The expressionless Sacramento looked at the trembling No. 111 and silently waved the book in her hand. Although her stealth ability is excellent, being caught saying bad things about someone face-to-face still gave No. 111 a considerable shock.

"I've already said, don't look at me like that, it makes me seem like the bad guy."

Seeing No. 111's terrified face, Sacramento smiled bitterly.

"Moreover, the victim is me, right? I've been sitting here the whole time, perfectly completing my task, but because of seniority, I'm criticized by the younger ones."

"Even if I want to say something, I can only keep it in my heart, seeing the younger ones so enthusiastic. Even if I'm misunderstood, even if I'm gossiped about, I can only swallow the bitter feelings. Even if I'm criticized face-to-face, pointing it out will still lead to more criticism—"

"I'm really sorry, Miss Sacramento, please forgive me!"

"Ah, even if you kneel, it won't change anything for me? And it makes me look like the bad guy. I'm not blaming you, you know?"

It's just because my stealth ability is too good.

Although still smiling, Sacramento's sharp words still made No. 111 kneel, facing this completely blameless shipgirl and devoutly lowering her head, expressing her repentance for her momentary slip of the tongue.
