The Self-loathing Admiral

Chapter 2.5

Hachiman sighs before straightening his body as he sees a big futuristic gate. He stops in front of a scanner and first scans his retina, his thumb, then plucks a strand of hair to deposit into a shoot that lets out a ding sound.

He steps into the room, then looks around with a bored expression, even though the room has all sorts of highly advanced gears and inventions lying around the place, "Akashi. Report," He loudly says into the room, prompting for a startled hiss to respond.

A short female with floor-length light-green hair, wearing a white sailor outfit that ends at her thighs, comes out of a room while holding a wrench, "Nya! Who dares to disturb the great Aka-"

She stops as she sees him standing with his eyebrow raised, prompting her to widen her eyes and raise her arms to the sky, "Nya, I mean, what brings the Admiral here?" She accidentally lets go off the wrench, which hits her head.

Hachiman sighs as he watches her rubbing her head with her eyes glistening, "You told me that you wanted me to be here." He frowns as he slightly squints his eyes at her.

Akashi freezes before awkwardly smiling, "Nya? I did tell Admiral to come here but..." She uses her sleeves to scratch her cheek.

He shakes his head, "I am here now. Tell me what you wanted to say?"

"Um... Wait a moment, nya." She quickly goes back into the room without looking back, prompting him to sigh again.

He shrugs then goes to a nearby stool to sit, "Hmm... The main expedition team should arrive today... might as well go greet them since I'm out here." He makes a thinker pose while using his other hand to lightly tap on his thigh.

Akashi bursts out of the room while carrying a metal object, "I finished Admiral's request nya~" She proudly shows him the object, which turns out to be an advanced looking black anti-material rifle, "Though, nya, I don't know why Admiral requested for a sniper that can kill Sirens?"

Hachiman broadly smiles as he stands up, "So that I can kill them with my own hands." He slowly walks to her, though she takes a step back, prompting him to scowl, "Let me take a look."

She shakes her head, "Nya, this is for your own self defense or when the base is being attack, Admiral... If Admiral goes out there, Admiral can die." She hugs the sniper tighter while frowning at him.

He glares at her before sighing, "...I know. But... I want to kill them all by my hands." He tightens his hands into a fist while gritting his teeth, "It's... Not enough to see them dead. I want to inflict the pain she must have felt when those bastards killed her. I –"

She interrupts him by dropping the gun, which makes a loud clunk noise, then launches herself to hug him, "Admiral... Please... Stop..." She mutters into his clothes.

He glares at her then quickly lifts his hand up and brings it down on her, though abruptly stops in the air. His rage filled eyes slowly give way to clarity as he looks at his hand then he slowly unclenches to put it on her head.

"Don't throw your life away, nya... Please..."

Hachiman sighs as he slowly rubs her head, "...We'll see, Akashi... I'm going to the docks to greet the expedition team, unless there is something else to talk?" He gently shoves her away from him.

Akashi frowns at him with her shoulder sagging, "Nya, nothing else, Admiral..."

He grimaces before sighing, "Alright, alright, I promise that I won't do some reckless shit that will get me killed." He puts his hands under her armpits then lifts her up, prompting her to let out a startled meow.

He holds her in the air while gazing right into her eyes, "Now stop being a sad cat before I decrease the funds you get."

She widens her eyes and thrashes around, "NYA ANYTHING BUT MY GEMS!" She wiggles, trying to get out of his hold, prompting him to snort then unceremoniously lets go. She lands on her foot then looks at him with her sad kitten face.

He shakes his head with a small smile gracing his lips, "Relax, I won't do it until you give me a reason to." He glances at the gun laying on the floor, "Bring the gun to my office, Akashi."

"Nya! I am not –"

"I'll pay you a thousand gold coins."

"Right away Admiral, nya!"

Hachiman snorts before quickly leaving the room, "See ya Akashi." He lazily waves behind him as the door closes.

"Ah, Admiral, fancy seeing you here~"

Hachiman tears his eyes away from the ocean to see a female with waist-long white hair, styled into twin tails with a red metal holding it in place and has a red streak on the right side of her hair, wearing a very short black dress with long red and grey sleeves that got cross at the end of the sleeves, black thigh-high tights and red boots that have the German Cross of the Nazi Germany, and another German Cross at her neck, walking to him with a small teasing smile.

"Prinz Eugen." He nods at her before going back to looking at the ocean from his position at the pier.

Eugen pouts, "Admiral~ what is with that bland greeting~!" She whines as she slowly stops to stand beside him.

He glances at her then back to the ocean without saying anything, prompting her to cross her arms together, which emphasizes her big breast even more, "Admiral~!"

She sighs as she sees no reaction from him, "du bist nicht witzig(You're no fun)... Why are you here, Admiral?"

"Waiting for the main expedition team to come back after finishing up my business at Akashi's lab," He curtly says without looking at her, "Why are you here?"

"Same as you, Admiral. I need to greet my little old sister from her long~ Arduous~ Journey after all."

"...You're going to relentlessly tease her again."

"It's a secret~"

Silence descends on them as they have run out of things to say, prompting her to join him in watching the ocean as they wait.

*AN*

Welp, I used google for the German language part, but eh, decided to put it in there for fun. So, Akashi and Prinz Eugen have been introduced! Not exactly how I planned but whatever, just need to improvise and all.
