Naval Fleet to Remnant

Chapter 47

Evan: I saw that. Good job Valiant

I ended the transmission as illustrious sent more planes to attack the outpost while we steamed closer towards it

We attacked the outpost as we steamed closer towards it until we reached a point where i felt that it's time to commence the 2nd phase of the mission

Evan: Everyone dismantle your production ships and summon your riggings!! It's time to commence phase 2 of the operation

I spoke to all of my shipgirls using the communicator aboard illustrious production ship

Evan's shipgirls except for illustrious (transmission): Ryokai/Roger!

Illustrious: Should I do it now?

Evan: Not yet. I need to get ready first

Illustrious nodded and I left the bridge to go to the Commander's Quarters. Once inside I put on a bulletproof vest and some leg armor before going back to the bridge. i may be able to tank offensive magic due to my high Resistance, it is offset by my low defence making me unable to tank physical attacks hence the bulletproof vest

Evan: I'm ready, illustrious. You can start dismantling your production ship now

I was about to leave and go to the flight deck to fly off either using my jet caliber or Mir when Illustrious stopped me

Illustrious: Wait!

Evan: Huh?

Illustrious: I have a special request Evan sama

Evan: eh?

*timeskip

Illustrious and I are standing on the edge of the flight deck holding each other's hands. The others have finished dismantling their production ships and are now sailing towards the outpost

Illustrious: It's just us now. We're the last ones

Evan: Yeah

The cold, silent winds of the night blew against us, trying to blow off Illustrious' summer lady hat and my white peaked cap. I felt illustrious gripping my hand tighter to endure the cold

Illustrious: So cold

The sea was quiet as the others have finished dismantling their ships and have already left

Illustrious: I wish I could do this with you longer Evan sama. However, we're on a mission so there's no more time to waste. Let's do it and leave before the environment here becomes too cold and silent for your warmth to overcome

Evan: Ladies first

Illustrious giggled before closing her eyes and her production ship began to glow blue

Illustrious: Ready when you are Evan Sama

With Mir on my shoulder as usual, the two of us prepared to jump into the sea

Evan: I'm counting on you illustrious

Illustrious: Hai

Evan: One... two... three!

Illustrious and I ran and jumped off the flight deck of Illustrious' production ship, still grabbing onto each others hands before a swordfish torpedo bomber took off from it just before the production ship dismantled / transformed / deconstructed / exploded / whatever you want to call it, into wisdom cubes. As I was falling into the sea, I felt my body being held in a bridal position and I saw illustrious, with her riggings active, holding me in a bridal position
