Chapter 43

Erin and you caught the boat just in time. As you ran towards the harbor, the sails spanned and te boat took off. "Faster!" You urged Erin. The boat was now about 20 meters out of the harbor, so you didn't see any other solution. You grabbed The Vice Admiral by the collar, and swung him with all your strength and made him fly towards the boat. You didn't check if he landed safely, before you jumped and used geppo to launch yourself in the air. You landed unseen next to Erin on the upper deck, that was currently empty. "You didn't have to throw me. I can use geppo too!" Erin hissed to you, rubbing his back. Apparently his landing was a bit rougher than yours. "You could have told me that earlier! I strained a few muscles by throwing you!" You hissed back, while massaging your wrist. You breathed deeply in and out, before pulling out a map from under your skirt. "Let me see..." You murmured, scratching your nose, as you looked down at the ships blueprint. You narrowed your eyes as you tried to make out the lines in the spare light. "You can't read a map?" Erin asked, while snatching the map. "Give that back!" You yelled, while you pulled at one corner. The fragile paper slowly started to tear as you two pulled back and forth. "You know what, this ain't gonna work." You said, before kicking Erin's legs away, flooring him, grabbing the map and put his head in a hold with your legs. You definitely surprised him with that. While he struggled to free himself, you got a closer look on the drawings. "Do you have a light?" You asked, while you tried to read the words on the plan. Reading in the dark is not convenient, you thought. Erin's answer was inaudible, while his face started to turn red. "If I am choking you, just tell me." You said, while you searched for a match.

You found one, also hidden in your skirt. In fact, it wouldn't surprise you if a complete household would hide down there; it would at least explain why it was so heavy. You lit it, and held it close to the paper. "Interesting..." You murmured. "Hmmmpf!" Erin managed to utter. "Ssht!" You said. "Go somewhere else, you lovebirds!" A deep voice suddenly yelled. It gave you a fright, and the match fell out of your hands...on the map. You screamed, as you tried to get away from the flames in your hands, and you let the burning ashes fall down. On Erin's face. He screamed even louder now. While you both tried to extinguish the fire, you bumped with a loud crash into each other. You fell backwards on the wooden deck, and Erin fell over you... and landed with his face first on your chest. You let out a huff as the weight crashed down on you. You didn't turn red. But he did. As he looked up from between your boobs, and realized where his head was...let's just say a radish has less color. It didn't help you were still in the Eastern-dancer-outfit, only containing a bikini top on your upper body...But something else caught your attention. "You are wearing the ring!" you exclaimed happily. You grabbed the lace with his ring and compared with your own, that happened to be also tied around your neck. "That's cute!" You said, a happy grin on your face. "Could you please let me go?" he stuttered. The poor boy. He must never been this near with women before, you thought. "What happened to your face?" you said, ignoring his plea. Half of his eyebrow was singed. "You burned it down!" he yelled, before remembering where he was. You smiled angelic, hoping he would forget that it was your fault he had one and a half eyebrow left. The redness on his face assured your success. He jumped up, backing away, until his back pressed against the bar. "Don't come near me!" he managed to squeak. You started laughing; you couldn't help it. "you're shier than a school boy!" Tears streamed down your face, while you amused yourself with a deeply ashamed Vice Admiral. You patted on his arm when you had calmed down. He shrieked away from your touch. "honestly, you don't have to take such detours if you want my attention." You said mockingly. His face turned red again, this time from anger. "Burning my face is NOT seeking attention! And who wants yours anyway!?!" You smiled knowingly. "Some questions are better left unanswered, Erin-kun. But I hold the record for receiving the most presents on Valentine's day in the Navy Head Quarters, you're free to check if you want to put numbers on it." You strolled away, towards the stairs on the other side of the deck, leaving the Marine Officer flustered behind. You didn't tell him what Hina did with them after that. You were just happy you could save the pralines by putting them in your mouth like a hamster and invariably deny every involvement. "What are you going to do?" Confused Ezrin yelled behind you. "Kick some ass." You said. "Without a map?" You saved the trouble to turn back and glare at him. "I remembered it all." You heard his running footsteps catching up with you. "Do you have a plan?" he asked. You grinned. "If improvise on the spot counts, then yes." "How did you even survive until this day?" He muttered silently. Your grin grew even wider. "Watch and learn, buddy, watch and learn."
