Illustrious couldn't wait until they got back to go to Azuma's room for that kind of thing tonight! Illustrious decided she wanted it right now.
"Ah! Admiral, what are you trying to do!" Azuma cried out, asking Illustrious in confusion.
"What am I doing? Doing you, of course!" Illustrious said bluntly.
"Azuma, is it okay?" Illustrious wasn't the type of Ship Girl to force others; if Azuma was unwilling, Illustrious wouldn't force her.
Hearing Illustrious's words, Azuma understood instantly. How could she not know that Illustrious wanted to do that kind of thing right here? Her face flushed crimson in a flash. "If it's the Admiral... it's okay~"
"'If it's the Admiral, it's okay~' Ah! What beautiful words," Illustrious said with emotion in her heart.
Letting go of her last bit of hesitation, just as Illustrious was about to start undressing Azuma, her heart skipped a beat. A cold, refreshing current flowed through her entire body, making her shudder.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
The entire ship suddenly entered a state of being void of all desire, as if the whole world had become dull and tasteless.
Azuma, in her black bunny girl outfit, was so beautiful, moving, sexy, and mature—enough to make anyone want to push her to the ground and go wild.
Just moments ago, she was impatient, but now Illustrious suddenly lost interest. She withdrew her right hand, which had been reaching for Azuma's chest, and said calmly, "Azuma, I'm sorry! I actually wanted to do that kind of thing to you; I almost caused a major incident!"
Azuma's eyes were misty and her face was flushed; she was clearly in the mood. She called out to Illustrious in a sweet, cloying voice, "Admiral~"
Hearing such a passionate call, Illustrious couldn't muster any interest at all. She said expressionlessly, "Azuma! Buy all the clothes you like, don't be polite with me. Change back into your clothes. If there's nothing else, I'll head out first."
Azuma was stunned after hearing Illustrious's words, not understanding what was happening; just a moment ago, Illustrious seemed possessed by a pervert, wanting to push her down and do that kind of thing.
Illustrious pulled the fitting room curtain aside and walked out, leaving Azuma dazed on the spot.
Azuma only reacted after watching Illustrious walk out. Feeling a bit sad and indignant, she bit her handkerchief and said, "Darn it, do I really have no charm at all? Otherwise, how could the Admiral not have the slightest interest in me? But I won't give up just like this. Admiral, you are mine; I won't let you escape from the palm of my hand."
After Azuma changed back into her own black high-slit cheongsam, she also slowly walked out of the fitting room. Seeing Illustrious waiting for her in the shop, Azuma gave Illustrious a huff and turned her head away; it seemed she was angry because Illustrious had stood her up just now.
Azuma took all the clothes she wanted to buy. There were many: Maid Outfits, Office OL Outfits, black bunny girl outfits... anyway, she bought every style the shop had. There were over a dozen outfits in total, making Illustrious feel a bit panicked; this was going to cost a lot of money! Illustrious's wallet was going to bleed heavily today.
Illustrious went to the female shop manager to settle the bill and found her still buried in her game. Frowning, Illustrious shouted loudly, "Boss, check out! Take a look, how much is the total?"
Upon hearing this, the female shop manager didn't even look up, saying calmly, "Alright! Alright! Just wait a moment."
As the female shop manager played, she would occasionally curse, swearing at her pig teammates.
One teammate said the kindergarten teacher suddenly ran down from the stage, scaring him into quitting the game.
Another teammate said his wife suddenly came to catch him in an affair, and he had to hide the beautiful secretary next to the bed, so he couldn't play anymore and quit directly.
Yet another teammate said the baby's head was coming out! She had to push, and after saying that, she quit the game and threw her phone aside; all that could be heard from the phone was, "Push, deep breaths..."
By the end, the teammates had all run away one by one. Truly, you never know what your teammates are up to.
The female shop manager was so angry she cursed like a sailor. It seemed there was no hope of reaching Platinum rank. She put the phone down, intending to collect the money.
Seeing the clothes in Azuma's hands, the female shop manager's eyes lit up. She wasn't looking at the beauty, but saw Azuma as a fat sheep to be fleeced; her eyes were filled with currency symbols. "Hello! Sorry to keep you waiting. Will it be card or cash?"
"Card, please!" Illustrious handed a bank card to the female shop manager. Several times she wanted to argue with this manager who had been playing games the whole time, but she was stopped by Azuma each time.
The female shop manager happily took the bank card. Oh yeah! Now she could buy skins for her game characters!
"Customer, here is your bank card back, and this is a membership card. Next time you come, you can enjoy a ten percent discount!" The female shop manager gave both the bank card and the membership card to Illustrious. The clothes were also packed and handed to Azuma, who immediately put the packaged clothes into her Ship Girl space.
The female shop manager looked at the packaging bags that suddenly vanished into thin air, her expression showing surprise for a moment before returning to normal. So they were Ship Girls! Only Ship Girls could possess such world-shaking beauty.
Meanwhile, Illustrious, having taken back the bank card, glared at the female shop manager, cursing inwardly, "I'm never coming back! You profiteer, selling clothes so expensively, my poor little money."
After buying the clothes, Illustrious and Azuma walked out of the Meow Meow 2D Clothing Store, planning to go see a movie.
Azuma noticed people gathered in a circle ahead and, not knowing what was happening but feeling curious, she took Illustrious's hand and rushed inside together.
Being dragged along, Illustrious had a helpless look on her face. Girls really do love to join in on the excitement!
"Excuse me, let us through. Excuse me, let us through. Excuse me..."
"Who is it! Why the hell are you pushing! Whoa! So beautiful! I... I actually saw a goddess! She even spoke to me. If only she could be my girlfriend!"
Azuma kept pulling Illustrious's hand as they pushed through the crowd. People were shoved aside; some with bad tempers wanted to lash out at Azuma, but the moment they saw she was a great beauty, their anger vanished instantly, and they fell into their own delusions.
After Azuma and Illustrious broke through the crowd, they found a man and a woman confronting two other girls.
The man was in his twenties, with long legs and a short torso, a pointed head and a large face, a small mouth with thick lips—the very image of a traitor. He looked extremely sleazy, but he was dressed in flashy, expensive clothes and covered in jewelry. Moreover, he had a female bodyguard-like figure standing behind him; one look and you could tell he was a rich second-generation heir.
The female bodyguard had a delicate face, long blonde hair draped over her right side, a sun hat decorated with a ship bridge, and was wearing a blue robe.
Illustrious glanced at the woman; she possessed a Royal Navy aristocratic style coupled with a unique temperament. Illustrious felt like she had seen her somewhere before. Where was it? No matter how she tried, she couldn't remember. Forget it, if she couldn't remember, she wouldn't think about it.
