Your silence is deafening.
Observer looked into Jack's eyes and said nothing more.
"How about it? Sign the Magical Girl contract, or face destruction. Choose one."
"You're not even pretending anymore, are you?!"
Observer couldn't maintain her composure and looked at Jack in exasperation.
Jack shrugged.
"Who told you to aim your cannons at me without permission? You wanted to kill me, so am I not allowed to fight back?"
"Hmph! No! ╭(╯^╰)╮!"
"Now you're getting tsundere. Let me tell you, it's useless to be tsundere in front of me if you're not my Shipgirl. You're just a woman, and it's not like I haven't fought women before."
Jack remained completely unmoved.
No matter how Observer tried to flirt and tempt him, he wouldn't change the condition of her signing the contract.
A few minutes later.
Observer gave up struggling, lowered her head, and reached for the Maid Charm as if resigning herself to fate.
However, under her eyelids, her eyes darted around, seemingly preparing to find an opportunity to slip away.
"Let me remind you first, I have a slight understanding of spatial abilities. The space-time around here has been disrupted by me. If you run out, you'll fly back from the other end in less than a hundred meters. It's quite fun, isn't it?"
Observer looked up, her mouth twitching slightly.
You call that a slight understanding?
"Damn it, why do you insist on making Observer sign this suspicious contract? Observer promises not to harm you again, alright?!"
"Because this contract is proof of companionship."
Jack's expression softened for the first time since he began to show his fangs.
He gently stroked Observer's hair.
"Actually, my previous speech wasn't a lie."
"Huh?"
The man in front of her had such a drastic change in demeanor that Observer didn't react immediately.
And this feeling... Is he connecting to my intelligent core through the mental network?!
Observer's small face flushed.
This idiotic human! Doesn't he know that suddenly intruding into someone else's mind is perverted?!
Observer was about to stop Jack's actions, but Jack's voice directly sounded in her mind.
"..."
He's in...
Wuwu... Observer... is no longer pure~
[Jack: Shipgirls, Sirens... these two are the same species, both in physical structure and psychological intelligence. I can be a Shipgirl's Commander, so naturally, I can also be... Huh? Miss Siren, your face is very red. Do you have a fever?]
[Observer: N-no, it's not a fever! Idiot human, do you really not know? I'll bite you!]
That hateful human, bullying Sirens just because he has some strength, how shameless!
Observer pouted her small lips.
Jack found her very interesting at this moment, somewhat similar to Yuudachi.
So he couldn't resist pinching her cheek. Observer immediately bit over with an "awu."
Jack quickly pulled his hand back. Observer bit into the air, making a crisp sound of teeth clashing.
What good teeth! It's just a bit dangerous when she bites.
[Jack: Ahem, back to the topic we were just discussing, Siren... Observer, you saw the weapon I just took out.]
[Jack: That is the prototype that devours everything in the world. Even the hurdle that your creators once couldn't overcome is not a big problem in front of it. It's just a matter of slashing a few more times.]
[Observer: Perhaps, but what you're saying is not within Observer's scope of responsibility. What happens to the world, whether it's destroyed or not, has nothing to do with Observer!]
[Jack: Then what do you want?]
[Observer: Fun!]
[Jack: Hmm? Are you also a follower of Aha?]
[Observer: Aha? What's that? Observer is not a follower of any god. Observer wants all sorts of interesting things. The civil wars in the major port areas before were quite fun. If you're willing to do it again, then Observer will reluctantly become your Shipgirl.]
[Jack: That's unnecessary. I won't let the Shipgirls harm each other. How about another condition? I can show you fun from other worlds, how about that?]
[Observer: Other worlds!! I want it! Give it to me quickly!!]
Righteousness, threats... none of these things could move Observer.
Only the simplest thing for Jack, fun from another world, made Observer relent.
She signed the Maid Charm contract without hesitation.
In an instant, a white light flashed.
Jack completely gained his first Siren subordinate.
[Name:???]
[Race: Siren]
[Profession: Observer]
[Level: 350]
This level was higher than a 5th stage dragon.
But that was probably because Sirens as a group could cross worlds.
In terms of destructive power, Jack felt that his noisy pets at home were still more powerful.
However, another detail caught Jack's attention. It was the first time he had seen a subordinate with "?" as a name, so he asked.
"You don't have a name?"
"It seems so... Is a name something that's necessary?"
"Hmm... Not necessarily. Then, should I call you Observer from now on?"
"Yes, Observer is the cutest in the world!"
"Heh, you're quite optimistic. You don't mind signing a 'slave contract' anymore?"
"How could I! Commander is much more interesting than those cold, big iron blocks who only know how to Test Worlds, maintain systems, and clear singularities all day long! Observer loves it!"
Observer simply stopped pretending, exited her mimicry state, and transformed into a white-haired loli, looking at Jack with a pair of big, blinking eyes, full of cuteness.
She really had a childish nature, and she was a child who possessed a dangerous ability like mimicry.
If the system couldn't directly reveal true names, and if this fellow was allowed to sow discord, she could really cause big trouble.
"Commander, Commander! What about Observer's story?"
"I'll tell you later, let's go back to the port first."
"Tsk~ Stingy."
Jack ignored Observer, who had already started acting up, and pulled her back to the Shipgirl team.
Soon.
Everyone gathered, and gazes of subtle hostility fell on the harmless little fellow in front of them.
"Don't worry, she has already contracted the charm and become our companion."
"With all due respect, Commander, Observer is a two-faced existence even among high-level humanoid Sirens. Her current surrender might be part of a larger conspiracy."
"Hmm, Musashi is right. It's better to cut off all her limbs first."
"Ah, this..."
Musashi covered her small mouth, not expecting the Commander to be so extreme.
But at this moment, it was already impossible to stop him.
Jack looked at Observer with an emotionless gaze, which made Observer shiver.
"Waaah! P-please don't cut off Observer's limbs! Observer is very obedient and won't cause trouble~"
"Cuteness is useless! Just come at me!"
Jack summoned an ordinary iron sword and slashed towards Observer.
Just then, Ayanami suddenly rushed over, placing her ship-slaying katana horizontally. The iron sword struck it, but her own katana broke instead.
"Ayanami, you...?"
Shimakaze was a bit confused. Ayanami actually went against the Commander for a Siren.
Ayanami then looked up at Jack: "Commander, stop fooling around. Your sword... has no killing intent."
Jack was silent at first, then smiled and threw the broken sword into the sea.
"I didn't expect to fool Musashi, but not Ayanami. Alright, what do you think of this act, Observer?"
Observer, who had just been trembling in fear, immediately put her hands on her hips.
"Observer is very satisfied! I acknowledge you as Observer's Commander!"
