Amagi took the initiative and linked her arm with Jun Hao's.
"But tonight... my Lord, you belong to me alone."
Faced with Amagi's slightly cunning gaze, Jun Hao raised an eyebrow.
"What? Didn't you get enough at the victory banquet?"
Amagi rested her head against his arm, appearing both spoiled and shy at the same time.
"My Lord, you are the most delicious sweet I've ever tasted in my life. There will never be a day when I'm full of you or tired of you. My Lord knows... that after recovering my health, I've become a very gluttonous little fox."
Her voice was soft, but the content of her words was surprisingly bold, making Jun Hao find her utterly adorable.
"By the way, Amagi, since you came out to find me all by yourself, don't Akagi and Kaga have any objections?"
Hearing the question, Amagi replied without hesitation.
"Akagi and Kaga are very sensible children. They won't mind their older sister coming out for an occasional extra meal."
Seeing her matter-of-fact and confident expression, Jun Hao didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Was it really that they had no objections, or was it simply that they didn't dare to object?
Still, he had no intention of dwelling on the matter.
Allowing Amagi to hold his arm, he walked beside her toward the harbor.
The two chatted casually, enjoying the cool night breeze and the scenery around the harbor. Eventually, Jun Hao took the initiative to steer the conversation back on track.
"Back to the point, Amagi. You had Belfast deliver that letter because there was something you wanted to know no matter what, right? What exactly is it?"
"Given the 'world-shaking wisdom' you displayed during the exercise... can you really not guess what I want to ask?"
Amagi gently shook his arm, as though blaming him for asking a question he already knew the answer to.
Jun Hao smiled and said, "True. You want to know how I commanded that exercise, right?"
"Yes, My Lord is correct. I want to know exactly where I lost."
Amagi nodded firmly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. As they spoke, the two arrived at the temporary command room used during the exercise.
After opening the door, several Manjuus maintaining the equipment noticed Jun Hao and Amagi and immediately understood the situation. They activated the tactical projection device.
A sea chart appeared before them. The red and blue forces were clearly displayed, perfectly recreating the previous battlefield layout.
"Come on, Amagi. Enough talk. Let's start the review directly. You'll still command the blue side, and I'll take the red side."
Hearing Jun Hao's words, Amagi nodded, her gaze fixed on the projection.
"Then let the review begin. By the way, Amagi, this time you can learn from the previous battle and make whatever adjustments you want."
Seeing Jun Hao so confident, Amagi's competitive spirit was immediately stirred.
"My Lord, if you underestimate your enemy too much, you'll suffer for it."
"Haha, I won't. Feel free to change whatever you like. It's fine."
With that, both sides began issuing commands. The images within the projection shifted, and the models representing the red and blue fleets started moving across the map.
It had to be said that, in Jun Hao's opinion, Amagi's deployment was practically flawless.
At that moment, he suddenly understood the immense pressure Elizabeth faced as a commander.
Whether it was luring the enemy deep into a trap or splitting her forces for a surprise attack, every move was textbook-perfect.
Unfortunately for her, he was both a Commander and her husband. He wouldn't be much of either if he didn't have a few tricks up his sleeve.
Then, Jun Hao once again placed the piece representing Lion into Sector B.
"My Lord, please don't look down on me. Do you really think the same method will work against me when I'm using different tactics?"
In response to Amagi's skepticism, Jun Hao waved a hand dismissively.
"No, I think it's quite the opposite. It's you, Amagi, who underestimated Lion."
Amagi frowned slightly.
"I didn't underestimate her. I'm well aware of Lion's strength, which is why I sent Miss New Jersey to suppress her. And just to be safe, I tightened the encirclement so I could support Miss New Jersey at any time."
She paused, confidence clear in her expression.
"Based on that, I devised the strategy of splitting my forces."
"So here's the question, Amagi. How many Sakura Empire girls do you think it would take to completely take down a tough nut like Lion?"
Faced with Jun Hao's question, Amagi was stunned.
Her reaction was exactly what Jun Hao had expected, and he continued.
"Five? Ten? That's actually not important. What matters is that you only treated her as a powerful 'unit,' a 'pawn' that needed to be pinned down with an equivalent force. From beginning to end, you never treated her as a 'person,' a person with wisdom and judgment."
As Jun Hao spoke, his fingers moved rapidly across the console.
Meanwhile, following her own reasoning, Amagi began tightening the encirclement around Sector B, where Lion was stationed. Unknowingly, the defenses in the other sectors gradually thinned.
Then a scene that shocked her unfolded.
Her current situation was exactly the same as it had been during the exercise.
Jun Hao once again used the same tactic to effortlessly tear through her defensive line. Even though she had paid special attention to force distribution this time, the result remained unchanged.
She tried to find patterns in Jun Hao's actions. She tried to understand the logic behind his commands.
But she discovered that his command style seemed to have no fixed logic at all.
Fine beads of sweat began to form on Amagi's forehead.
She had the unsettling feeling that everything she did was following a script and that, no matter what choices she made, she could never escape its predetermined ending.
"Why... why is it like this...? I've done my best to patch every loophole from last time, and I even anticipated every possibility... Why... do I still lose?"
At that moment, even she couldn't understand what was happening.
She looked up at Jun Hao beside her, her face filled with confusion.
Jun Hao smiled and stopped operating the console. The battle projection instantly froze.
"To put it simply, Amagi, my so-called 'base-swapping tactic' isn't actually a tactic in the strict sense. It's an open scheme. An inevitable 'law' derived from the participants, the environment, and all the variables present in this war."
His tone remained calm.
"Even if I told you this 'law' in advance, you still wouldn't be able to prevent it from occurring. That's why you lose, no matter what."
After saying that, Jun Hao suddenly turned around, presenting his back to Amagi.
Moonlight streamed through the command room window, illuminating his upright figure.
Jun Hao walked to the window and gazed up at the night sky.
"The decisive factor in war is people, not fixed tactics. And Amagi... you overlooked that."
Amagi stared at the silhouette bathed in moonlight, momentarily entranced.
When she finally came back to her senses, she realized her hands had unconsciously drifted away from the projection controls.
This time, she didn't try to hide anything and openly admitted defeat once more.
"I've lost, my Lord. I've lost to you once again."
"Mhm. Well, since you've lost again, a Defeat CG is a must~"
Hearing Jun Hao's words, the Manjuus immediately left the command room.
What remained were the sounds of passionate intimacy.
