Illustrious, holding Shokaku, instantly flew above the aircraft carrier and slowly landed on the deck.
"Admiral, welcome back!" Azuma walked to where Illustrious landed and smiled.
"Mm! I'm back. You must have been worried!" Illustrious smiled in response.
"Sister, are you alright! That's great, we thought we would never see each other again." Zuikaku rushed forward when she saw Illustrious landing with Shokaku in her arms.
"I'm fine! Don't worry!" Shokaku whispered.
"That's good! Now we sisters can be together again!" Zuikaku said happily.
Zuikaku saw Illustrious still holding Shokaku in her arms and was quite displeased. Her sister was hers, so she shouted, "Illustrious, what are you standing there for! Hurry up and release your perverted hands!"
Illustrious had no choice but to release Shokaku from her embrace. As the beauty left her arms, a delicate fragrance lingered on her. She took a deep sniff; it was indeed quite fragrant.
As soon as she touched the ground, Shokaku, seeing Zuikaku's disregard for Illustrious, spoke up to criticize her. "Zuikaku, how can you be so rude? She is our savior! Hurry up and apologize."
Hearing Shokaku's criticism, Zuikaku also felt that she had indeed been a bit excessive. After all, Illustrious had saved their sisters, so it was unreasonable to treat Illustrious like that. "S-sorry."
"It's alright, I didn't take it to heart. By the way, Shokaku, your rigging was sealed, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be swimming in the sea. I'll help you unseal it!" Illustrious said enthusiastically.
"Then I'll trouble you." Shokaku bowed to express her gratitude. To be honest, having her power sealed and becoming like an ordinary person was indeed very uncomfortable.
"What, sister's rigging is sealed? Illustrious, hurry up and help my sister unseal it! How can you bear to let my cute and beautiful sister suffer?" Zuikaku started to urge Illustrious as soon as she heard that her sister's rigging was sealed.
"Alright, alright! Let's begin!" Illustrious directly extended her right hand towards Shokaku's snow-white, plump, and elastic chest, which, to others, looked like Illustrious was about to molest Shokaku by assaulting her chest.
"Beast, stop!" Just as she was about to touch Shokaku's chest, she was interrupted by Zuikaku, whose hand was hit with a burning pain.
"What are you doing!" Illustrious rubbed her reddened right hand, glaring angrily at Zuikaku.
"Beast, you ask me what I'm doing? I want to ask you what you're doing! You can unseal it, but what do you mean by touching my sister's chest?" Zuikaku yelled at Illustrious.
"That's right! Admiral, you already have me, yet you're still not satisfied. Is this what they call 'the grass is always greener on the other side'?" Azuma pulled out a handkerchief and sadly wiped her tears.
"Ah! You've misunderstood me! This seal is in the heart. If I don't touch there, where else would I touch?" Illustrious felt wronged and frantically explained.
"Don't give me that! If you, pervert, dare to have any other ideas, I'll... Ah! It hurts! Sister, why did you hit me!" Zuikaku's head was smacked down by Shokaku with a hand chop, making her squat down, rubbing her head in pain.
"Stop messing around! If you keep this up, sister won't talk to you anymore!" Shokaku said helplessly.
"Damn it! It's all your fault!" Zuikaku glared fiercely at Illustrious.
"Sorry! My sister has made you laugh. So, let's continue!" Shokaku bowed again, then closed her eyes, presenting herself as if ready to be plucked.
"I didn't take it to heart! Let's continue! And Azuma, stop crying. I really don't have any other intentions, besides, you don't have a single tear, it's so fake!" Illustrious nodded, indicating she understood Shokaku's difficulty in teaching her sister, and comforted Azuma on the other side.
Azuma heard this, knowing her fake crying had been exposed, and felt a bit awkward, so she stopped wiping her tears. It seemed it would be better to use eyedrops next time!
Illustrious continued to extend her right hand towards Shokaku's snow-white, plump chest.
Illustrious was now expressionless, making it impossible to see her inner thoughts, as if she were a saintly Buddha without desires or emotions. Therefore, everyone believed Illustrious was a gentleman.
But in reality, Illustrious was overjoyed! Actually, unsealing didn't require physical contact; that's right, she was base, but she was honest. She had long wanted to touch Shokaku's snow-white, plump, and elastic chest!
Closer, closer.
Almost touched.
Ah! So soft!
"Ah... um!" Shokaku's face flushed, and she let out a sound!
Ah, so refreshing! The sensation transmitted from her hand made Illustrious feel like she was soaring to heaven!
A clear current suddenly flowed through Illustrious's entire body, and her consciousness instantly cleared. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. I am a saintly Buddha. Illustrious's entire Ship Girl entered sage mode.
Now Illustrious felt utterly bored with Shokaku's snow-white, plump, and elastic chest, feeling that it was nothing more than two lumps of flesh.
Thinking that the seal had not yet been removed, Illustrious quickly got down to business.
With a light pluck, slow twist, and a skilled rub, Illustrious smoothly used her Silver Prayer Qi to find the location of the seal, and after some manipulation, with a click, the seal was broken!
Because the seal was broken, Shokaku felt completely refreshed. She was so comfortable she wanted to cry out, but to avoid making a fool of herself again, she had to endure it, her face flushing red.
Seeing the seal broken, Illustrious slowly withdrew her hand from Shokaku's snow-white, plump, and elastic chest. "Alright, you can use your power again now!"
The silver sword hovering high above Illustrious's head flickered, then slowly disappeared. With a ding, silver light enveloped Illustrious's entire body. In a blink of an eye, the silver light vanished, and her originally high-slit white cheongsam and blue head ornament reverted to her original white off-shoulder dress and white head ornament.
It seems the time limit for Forbidden Technique: Radiant Profound Command has expired. Fortunately, the main body ship and such can still be used, but don't even think about her launching planes!
Shokaku felt the connection from her rigging, thinking that it was finally unsealed. As a Ship Girl, being sealed and becoming an ordinary person made Shokaku feel a sense of powerlessness, but now that it was unsealed, it was all thanks to Illustrious.
"Thank you! If it weren't for your help, our sisters would have been in big trouble!" Shokaku felt there was nothing she could do to repay Illustrious, so she could only offer verbal thanks!
"Alright! You're already my Ship Girl! Why be so polite with me?" Illustrious waved her hand.
Hearing this, Shokaku's face flushed slightly, and she nodded, feeling that Illustrious was right. She was already her Ship Girl! What was there to be polite about?
"Wait! What do you mean 'your Ship Girl'? What's going on?" Zuikaku pressed Illustrious for an answer.
"What the words mean!" Illustrious said with a smile.
"Ah! You scoundrel! When did this happen? You work fast!" Zuikaku grabbed Illustrious's shoulders tightly and shouted.
