Chapter 75: The Führer and A Present
December 25, 305 Yamato Calendar.
It was a relief that we annihilated the Dark Elf army in the previous Battle of Pudding Highlands.
It seems that they too, didn’t expect to lose 90,000 troops.
I was so surprised that they also pulled back the reinforcements they had sent out and instead showed a stance of defending their home territory. It seems that they won’t be attacking our territory from their side for a while.
Now my only enemy is the Luna Empire.
All that is left is to beat them and it will be over…
After a short break that is.
The main reason I say this is because the retaliation weapon isn’t ready yet. Indeed, these kinds of important weapons have to be made perfectly.
For that reason, I returned to our base, Truk Island, aboard the Führer’s ship, Fugaku, for a break.
Until recently, Truk Island was a fantasy world, but last year’s transformation has turned it into a miniature version of the naval city of Yokosuka, with its stylish red-brick cityscape.
There is a large airfield in the center of the island… It seems to be capable of functioning more than adequately as a military base.
Of course, the infrastructure is as good as on the mainland, and the monsters on the island have already been eliminated.
Just like on the mainland, the environment has become comfortable even for the people of the 21st century.
Nh, being able to live a normal life is happiness.
I am already satisfied just by having the electricity and water supply. There was no such thing in the United Kingdom of Albatross.
Fighting the elves was really hard.
I had half given up on living a normal human life.
Because there are no roads large enough for large vehicles, Ayame-san’s camping trailer could not be used…
Anyway, the infrastructure was so bad that I doubted whether light tanks could be operated, and opted for using tankettes instead.
Things like showers, I only take them at Heydrich-san’s shop.
I am concerned about the smell, and Ayame-san goes into heat every time she smells my scent…
Let’s prepare at least the minimum necessary infrastructure when we go to Albatross next time.
And then.
I have arrived at the port of Truk Island.
Looking at the pier, the Second Fleet of the Imperial Navy, which is mainly composed of four pre-dreadnought class battleships, is anchored. It’s always impressive no matter when I look at it.
So, let me tell you what I came here for…
“What do you say, Eryu-san? Did you like it?”
“Yeah, I liked it! I love you too, Ayame-san!”
“Ahh! Eryu-san, if you hug me so strongly… I might get infatuated.”
……I’m not doing anything strange.
Just, that… I simply hugged Ayame-san out of happiness. Well, this is just the usual behavior of Ayame-san, so it doesn’t count.
So, as for what I’m happy about…
“The new Führer’s ship, Akitsushima. I made it at my own expense for Eryu-san… I also had the Navy contribute a little money, too.”
A new ship had come to the harbor.
A huge ship docked at the pier in front of me, the Führer’s exclusive ship, Akitsushima. It is the successor ship to Fugaku.
Today is Christmas, December 25th. And then, Ayame-san and I… It’s the anniversary of that.
That’s why Ayame-san prepared a new ship for me as a present.
“Standing displacement: 45,000 tons. The main armament is four 38.1 cm twin-mounted cannons with a total of 8 barrels. Eight 12,7cm dual-purpose guns with a total of 16 barrels for secondary armament. It’s a high-speed battleship with a maximum speed of 30 knots.”
“Nh, thank you for the explanation. Yozakura-san.”
The Führer’s exclusive ship, Akitsushima.
Its appearance is… I think it resembles the British battlecruiser Hood. While there’s a vague Bismarck-style atmosphere, yup, it feels British.
The hull of the ship is a long forecastle design, similar to a British battle cruiser, and the clipper-shaped bow has a gentle sheer that is also beautiful.
Armed with 38,1cm cannons, which is the biggest cannon the Empire has ever adopted… It’s so powerful.
The secondary armament consists of 12.7 cm dual-purpose guns, four on each side. The anti-aircraft seems to be perfect as well.
And most of all, the size of the ship itself is amazing.
The total length is more than 240 meters, it is so big that it makes a nearby 10,000-ton class cruiser look like a small protected cruiser.
It is truly a monster ship.
It is a huge battleship far surpassing the largest battleship in the Navy, the Fuji-class battleship.
I have no recollection of making such a monster during the game. Therefore, it was something that was built and completed after coming to this world.
Even though it hasn’t been two years since we transferred to the other world, it was well-constructed, wasn’t it?
Rather, she said she made this at her own expense, but what kind of wallet do you have? Doesn’t it cost about 100 billion yen?
I became curious and looked into Ayame-san’s face… Say, what’s the matter, Ayame-san? Are you in a bit of a bad mood?
“Don’t talk to that big-breasted woman, and only look at me today, okay?” You don’t like me talking to Yozakura-san?
Well, it can’t be helped.
Understood, normally I’d ask Ayame-san to endure, but today is our anniversary.
So, with that said, Yozakura-san, could you please step back a bit… Please don’t make a sad face, I’ll play with you next time.
“Ehehe… I had it made in a hurry because I wanted to give it to Eryu-san as a present on Christmas. Look, you mentioned before that you wanted to ride on a battleship.”
Come on, let’s get on right away, I’ll escort you, Ayame-san extends her hand.
Nh, I love it.
“Aaahh… Good grief, despite the Führer’s monopoly being against the constitution, yet Ayame-dono is…”
Yozakura-san is letting out a sigh… Isn’t it fine, even if we flirt a little.
Oh, Ayame-san, please cross your arms. Yes, more closely…
After that Ayame-san guided me inside the Akitsushima ship…
“This is the bedroom. Look, Eryu-san, it’s a new bed. Please try and check the comfort of the bed.”
“Nnhー”
……I lay down on the fluffy bed.
Since it’s a ship based on a battleship, I thought it wouldn’t be very comfortable to live in, but it seems that only my living quarters have been made luxurious.
Looking around at the bedroom, it is about the same as that of Fugaku… Well, the window is small.
“…Ayame-san, what are you doing? The sun hasn’t gone down yet, you know?”
Yes, I understand.
This is what will happen if I get into the bed in front of Ayame-san. Ayame-san gets on top of me, who was lying on the bed…
Well, it’s fine.
I was also expecting it a little bit.
But, Ayame-san.
“…What’s that thing you’re holding in your hand?”
“I haven’t received a present from Eryu-san yet. I will receive it this way.”
A mysterious potion? She holds what appears to be a bottle in her hand.
What’s a present… I don’t have anything that I could give Ayame-san as a present, you know? I mean, Ayame-san manages all of my personal belongings, so she would know about it.
“No, isn’t it here, something you can give me as a present? It’s Eryu-san’s first time.”
“Huh?”
“Why do you think I went to the Albatross Union knowing the danger?”
“That’s to drive off the elves…”
“Incorrect. It is to acquire this medicine that exists only in the fantasy world. This is a medicine that can grow something. What will grow? it’s secret.”
Huh? You mean, growing, um, could it be that…
“Have you prepared yourself, Eryu-san? You will conceive my child, won’t you?
W-wait a minute…! Um, Ayame-san, I don’t want to conceive yet… Not that, it’s not about who gets pregnant, It’s the one who impregnates…
Eh? I am starting to not understand the situation.
Anyway, you shouldn’t drink any suspicious medicine from a dirty glass bottle. See, please give it to me.
Because I’m going to dispose of it.
“I will not. Since it’s our anniversary, so please listen to my selfish request.”
Oh no, it’s hopeless.
Yozakura-san! Miike-san! Anyone is fine, please come help!
This is bad! Please stop Ayame-san!

A huge ship was built because the Führer said she wanted to board a battleship. The exterior of the ship resembles the British battlecruiser Hood, but there are also some aspects that are similar to the German battleship Bismarck.
Although the ship belongs to the Imperial Guard, as it is the Führer’s exclusive ship, the Navy, which has been unable to build large battleships due to budget cuts caused by the transfer to another world, is involved in the construction of the ship.
