Ears flick. A huff escaped her lips. "Don't."

It gets stuck on her fox ears. . .

The empress should be careful—! Now the light cruiser is trapped. Would be rude to refuse it too.

The long ears lowered, flat to the head. Might help a little.

Sendai would allow it. . . But that's why she doesn't wear hats—

A smaller one, to fit between her ears? Maybe, maybe.

! ! ! The blonde's fluffy ears and tail perked up from surprise. How the fu—

💢 "Oi—!" Grabs at the wrist. Short-tempered, as always.

Not really her style. . . But she might give it some thought.

"Lady Yamato, this is a bit—" Trying to politely get out of the embrace. But it would be possible only if the battleship allows it.

She can sense a fellow blonde ship—

Naturally, no one would dare to get between the massive battleship and an object of affection. "I am glad to see you in good health too, my lady." The blonde was relieved, no longer in a strong embrace of the empress.

Or might need to get a special hat, for the Sakura ships.

Ow— This is not how you treat your senior!

Squint— The touch was not approved. ". . . Hm?"

"Hate it—" As if this one was not a source of a headache already. Now she has this.

Not at all. But the position she was in, did make her feel flustered. A little. "If you want me to join, then—" It would be impolite to refuse, really.

No need to ruin her personal hats. Can always get one from a specific shop.

". . ." The blonde squinting, glaring at her. "Yeah? Maybe we should test it out." Even if she is probably right.
