The lost battleship of the southern trench

Chapter 25

Southern POV, time skip 7 hours, location Trench Abyssal base Palora

So after our meeting with Southern Trench, her little sister Eastern War Princess showed us around a little. Though it was getting late, so we weren't able to get the full tour or meet anyone besides a few Ei-class and Xi-class. The place was big, when we came across a map that was posted around, there seemed to be three levels to the base.

The bottom was used as storage and overall and armory for the base, as well as the main hanger for all of the monster Abyssals. The second was the dorms where everyone had bedrooms, three kitchens, several bathrooms as well showers, and a few recreational areas like a gym, and such. The third seemed to be a command center and was the smallest out of the three levels. It had a communications room, a deciphering room, war room, factory control room, and so on. There was also a factory off to the northern side of the base that connected to the factory control, and the main hanger. It was actually kind of overwhelming to see such a big base even from just a map.

Though soon after we saw that map Eastern said that it'd be best if we went to bed, and continued the tour the next day. So she led us to the second floor and showed us a room we could stay in. The room was decently sized, having two large beds beside each other, a small tv across from the beds, and a small table with two chairs. It kind of reminded me of the hotel rooms back at Guam, but smaller. When we went to sleep, I had Sunshine sleep on a different bed than me. Because in all honesty I feared that if I slept on the same bed as her, I would roll over and suffocate her. Instead I slept on the other bed with Blue.

The night was uneventful, except for Sunshine not wanting to go to sleep for several minutes, but once she was asleep, the night just seemed to skip by without any problems. Now it was morning, and Blue and I were getting dressed. Sunshine was currently wrapped up in a ton of blankets, as she said it was warm and she didn't want to get out. But at least while we were getting dressed that was fine.

But then we finished getting dressed and I had to get her out. "Come on Sunshine, we need to go. Eastern is going to show us around today" I said, as I stared at the mound of blankets she was in.

Then I heard her speaking in a muffled voice to me. "No, it's warm in here"

"Sunshine, I can't let you stay here alone, so you have to come with us"

"No, I want to stay here!"

I let out a sigh as I saw that I'd need to use force "well, Sunshine, no to me isn't supposed to be in your vocabulary" I said as I now grabbed the blankets and pulled them upwards. Soon Sunshine was unraveled from what looked to be two large blankets and a sheet.

She whined as she now laid on her stomach, on the bed. "Mommy is a meany"

"Perhaps, But come on, we need to go. Eastern is going to expect us. And don't try to refuse, or you'll get a punishment worse than just not playing"

Now she looked surprised at me as she said in a curious voice "there's a punishment worse than not playing?"

"Yes, and if you continue to not listen to me, then you'll get that punishment alongside not being able to play. Considering how you've acted so far, I'd say you wouldn't be allowed to play for two days. Maybe more if you continue" she looked directly at me for a moment then to Blue, who was sitting on our bed, to see if she could get help from her.

But Blue chuckled slightly seeing what was happening "I can't help you out" Sunshine whined slightly and pouted, as she slowly slided off the bed onto the floor. It took her a few seconds to get onto her feet, as it seemed she wanted to stay in the relaxed position she was in. But now she stood up and walked over to me, she was still pouting.
