"You, you, you... Who exactly are you, you fellow!"
To take a Siren's full salvo head-on and not even have a single hair moved.
This kind of visual impact was far more real than the quiet terror of a true God-Slayer.
"Heh heh, you've made a death-wish statement like a villainous clown, Observer."
Jack floated in mid-air with his arms crossed, his pupils glowing golden, looking like an arrogant, peerless deity.
"Let me tell you, I am—"
"The Eternal King of Entara, the Fourth Heavenly Principle of Teyvat, the Original Controller of the Seven Elements, the Liberator of the The End, the Co-Lord of All Demons and All Things, the Helmsman of the Star Sea Fleet, the Creator who Symbolizes Beginning and The End!"
He finally said it.
One word: exhilarating!
Jack had been waiting for someone to ask for his title for a long time, especially in such a frustrated scenario, a question like that of a defeated dog.
It was simply exhilarating!
The Observer stared blankly at Jack.
She really wanted to ask, what were all these titles that sounded so profound but were utterly incomprehensible?
Apart from the 'Helmsman of the Star Sea Fleet' at the The End, which she understood to refer to the Shipgirls and Sirens, she couldn't make any meaningful associations with the others.
But... seeing how happy the Commander was, she decided to hold back her complaints.
That way, her backside might hurt less later, as she couldn't even penetrate his armor; if they were to truly fight, she would likely face a heavily damaged situation.
"No... As expected of the Commander! Observer surrenders."
The Observer very sensibly disengaged her rigging.
And this fellow was quite cunning.
While disengaging her normal rigging, she also made her clothing disappear.
What was then presented before Jack was a pale, forbidden Siren alien body.
"Surrender?"
Jack flew down, "You bombarded me with continuous, saturated gunfire for ten minutes. You had your fun, and now you come to surrender to me?"
"Huh? There was no ten minutes! It was clearly only two minutes!"
"Alright, then let me blast you for two minutes too."
Seven-colored elements intertwined appeared in Jack's hand, then the elements fused, transforming into a distorted energy that was impossible to look at directly.
"!!"
What kind of power is this! If it hits Observer, will Observer even survive?
"Um... Commander~"
The Observer tremblingly grabbed Jack's other hand and rubbed it against her front armor.
Her front armor wasn't thick, and it was cool to the touch, without the slimy feel of tentacles. Overall, it was a skin-to-skin contact that conformed to normal human aesthetics.
"Rubbing, rubbing also counts as an attack, you know."
"..."
The Observer was speechless. She smiled on the surface, but inwardly, she began to curse.
Stinky man! Bad man! A scumbag who only knows how to bully Sirens!
"Alright, still cursing me, are we? That's an additional crime, add another minute."
"Wu..."
"Wu?"
"W-wah!!—Wuwu! You're bullying me! Wuwu—Commander is an idiot! A bad guy! A big bad guy!!—Wuwu, Observer wants to go home, wuwu~~"
The Observer's eyes first widened like a rabbit's, turning red, then her tear ducts burst, and she clung to Jack, hitting and pounding him.
This made Jack, who had originally wanted to tease her a bit more, suddenly feel bewildered.
As a prime example of someone who responds to softness but not to hardness, Jack could only pat the Observer's shoulder and say softly,
"Alright, alright, don't cry. Commander was just responding to your 'joke,' so I made a joke too. If Observer promises to be obedient from now on and be good sisters with the Shipgirls, I promise to give you the same status as the Shipgirls, treating you all equally."
"Wuwu~ R-really?"
"Let's connect to the Mental Network. That way, you'll be able to tell if my emotions are real or fake."
The Observer unhesitatingly dropped her mental defenses and embraced Jack's vast Commander network.
In an instant, as if sinking into a warm ocean, the Observer comfortably hummed.
So... this is what it feels like when Shipgirls connect with the Commander.
The Observer opened her eyes, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.
Jack's hateful face from before had actually become somewhat handsome.
Hmph! It's... it's not love at first sight, no, it's just that she wanted to try what it felt like for those Shipgirls, that's right! As the first Siren, she had to confirm it clearly!
The Observer felt an urge to merge with the Commander welling up inside her and launched a surprise attack on Jack.
With a 'pop' sound, she forcefully kissed him.
