Amphitrite's Guide to the Orca

Part 1. An Angel of the Kitchen?!

Salacia:

Big Sis, this is su~per good!

Amphitrite:

Mmmhmm. Here's take mine too, Cia.

Salacia:

*Mumble mumble...* but what about you?

Amphitrite:

I'm pretty full.

Sowan:

How's the food.

Amphitrite:

Ah, yes! I haven't tasted something as good in my entire life. Thank you for looking after us.

Salacia:

*Yum yum...*

Sowan:

You should thank my Master, he specifically told me to take extra care of you both.

Amphitrite:

Ah...the Commander did...

Still, we'd like to say how thankful we are to you too, Chef.

Sowan:

*Chuckles...* is that so.

Speaking of...may I...ask you a little "Favour"...?

Amphitrite:

Ah...yes! Of course. Anything after having this delicious meal. Please, ask away.

Sowan:

...

Ahem. Thank you. See, I wanted to -

Salacia:

Big Sis, this is su~per good too!

Amphitrite:

Right? Our Chef over here prepared it for us.

Salacia:

Uhm...is the Chef a higher rank than the Commander...?

Amphitrite:

She's not, but nonetheless, she's someone we should thank for.

Salacia:

Wow...! Ehehe. Thank you, Chef!

Sowan:

...D, don't mention it. Then...may I continue?

Amphitrite:

Ah, my apologies. You wanted to ask a favour, please, continue.

Sowan:

*Chuckles*, it's really not a big deal. I just -

Salacia:

Aw, I finished it...

Big Sis...Cia is still hungry...

Amphitrite:

C, Cia, one moment. I'm talking to the Chef right now.

F, forgive her. Cia is a little young...

Salacia:

But it was su~per good...

Sowan:

...

Amphitrite:

I'll give you some hardtack when we get back to our room. Just wait a bit, okay?

Sowan:

...There's no need for that.

Amphitrite:

Yes...?

Sowan:

I was about to ask you to try out the new course menu I came up with and give me feedback.

Since Miss Cia over here is still hungry, allow me to serve you.

Salacia:

Yay~!

Amphitrite:

W, would...it be okay? At this rate, we'd be in your debt endlessly...

Sowan:

The best way to reward someone who devoted one's life to cooking is by showing me your smiles when I serve you.

Amphitrite:

...Well, then...

M, may I please...have some more, too...?

Sowan:

*Chuckles*, of course. Just give me a few minutes.

Salacia:

Ehehe. Big Sis, it worked out, right~

Amphitrite:

...?

Salacia:

Big Sis?

Amphitrite:

Ah, yes, Cia. You can eat as much as you want. The Chef is okay with that.

Salacia:

Yay~

Amphitrite:

...Is this what becoming soft feels like?

Part 2. Window Shopping

Amphitrite:

So...this is the Saman Industry Shopping Mall...I see a lot of different things...

Special opening sale of the Svalbard Venue...? Ah, that's why...

Wraith:

We failed yet again...master...

Phantom:

We should have gotten here earlier...

Wraith:

The limited-edition cup noodles...will we ever get the chance to taste it...?

Amphitrite:

Limited-edition...ah, I see a sample here. Let's see...

It looks super spicy but tasteful. I, I'd like to...

I, I shouldn't. I'm here to buy a gift for the Commander who took very good care of us.

Leanne:

Aren't you going a little ham?

Miho:

Hmm...I think we can finish it all, no?

Leanne:

...Thought you said you gained weight lately.

Miho:

Urgh.

...I should be fine. I think.

Amphitrite:

It even has an endless supply of snacks...Cia would love them...

Alright. I think I should buy one for Cia.

But what's good...? I never tried any...

Emily:

This one...

Amphitrite:

Yes? This is...

Emily:

This one's...good...

Amphitrite:

Ah, you recommend it. Thank you.

It was Miss Emily...right?

Emily:

Yeah...

Amphitrite:

...

Emily:

...

Amphitrite:

...Ah! I'm Amphitrite. I'm under the command of General Dragon.

Emily:

Yeah...Amphi...this one's good too...

Amphitrite:

Thank you - Oh? Isn't this the limited-edition...

Emily:

I've tried one before...

Neodym:

Emily. Kaen is waiting.

Emily:

Okay...

Well...bye...

Amphitrite:

Ah...uhm...!

Thank, you...

...Everyone's so nice here...

I should remember them and send my gratitude later. Anyways, back to getting a gift...

1 and a half an hour later

Amphitrite:

What...should I choose...? My options are either food or feminine products...

Sleipnir:

We good?

Muse:

N, not yet...I was trying to see if there's something more subtle...

Sleipnir:

Please. When you get the chance, you should choose the most promiscuous one that would make Commander lose his mind!

Like this one.

Muse:

T, that one barely covers anything...

Sleipnir:

That's my point!

Hmm, well, I'll give you credit for thinking through about this. It is a gift, after all.

Amphitrite:

...?!

Uhh, excuse me.

Muse:

Ah, hello...

Amphitrite:

D, does... the Commander...wear those...kind of underwear...?

Doesn't that make him a complete perv...

Sleipnir:

Huh? No! Obviously, we would wear it for him. We. Would.

Amphitrite:

But didn't you just say it's going to be a gift...?

Sleipnir:

It is. I would be wearing this sexy outfit and seduce Commander?

If this isn't a gift, what is~

Muse:

S, Sleipnir...

Sleipnir:

Hey now, enough thinking. This is the one.

Muse:

T, this...!

Sleipnir:

Hmm...I think you should wear it under what you're wearing right now.

I read it somewhere where it's super effective when a sexy lingerie would appear like bam! Underneath something boring, like the one you're wearing right now.

Muse:

H, hold uuuuuuuuup...

Sleipnir:

Alright, paid.

See you later~

Amphitrite:

G, goodbye...

...

I suppose this is the best course of action...

I know it's a little bit too early...but the Commander is an attractive man...

The price...alright, I'd be able to pay for it.

Well then...!

Part 3. I. Am. The. Present ♥

Commander:

As I was desperately brainstorming what I should do when I'm not working over a cup of coffee, someone knocked on my door.

Come in. (Choice)

Amphitrite:

H, hello, Commander.

Commander:

Hey. Are you used to Orca yet?

Amphitrite:

I'm getting by, thanks to you, Sir...

Commander:

...? (Choice)

She was avoiding my eye contact.

Is everything okay? (Choice)

Amphitrite:

Uhn...my sister and I are forever in debt to you, Sir. So...

In hopes of showing our gratitude...I, I prepared a little gift...for you.

Commander:

Oh...(Choice)

I couldn't help myself but make a smile at how embarrassed Amphitrite was.

You don't have to. Salacia shouldn't have as well. (Choice)

Amphitrite:

But...

...Excuse me?!

Commander:

Ah, Salacia gave me a gift as well. (Choice)

Amphitrite:

Erk.

Commander:

It felt really good. (Choice)

Amphitrite:

Ehhhhh...?

Commander:

Salacia told me she felt su~per good too. (Choice)

Amphitrite:

Ahh...?!

Commander:

Uhh...what's wrong? (Choice)

Amphitrite:

...Nothing. I shouldn't be the one judging you. But...

I wanted to protect...Cia...

Commander:

And Amphitrite finished her sentence, she slowly...

Lifted her skirt up.

Pfft-! (Choice)

Amphitrite:

This is...the little gift I prepared...

Now that I heard about Salacia...I won't be able to focus...bu...t...?

Commander:

*Cough!* *Cough...!* (Choice)

Amphitrite:

C, Commander?!

Amphitrite:

...An electronic massager?

Commander:

Yeah. I'd been thinking about getting one. (Choice)

Amphitrite seemed to be bummed out as she stared at the vibrating massager.

So Salacia gave me a massage using this, and I gave her one...and, well, that was it. (Choice)

Amphitrite:

...

Commander:

Uhh, well...would you like one too, Amphitrite? (Choice)

Amphitrite:

N, no...I'm good, thank you.

Commander:

See...you don't have to give me anything. (Choice)

Amphitrite:

But...

Commander:

I couldn't help myself stare at her legs after what just happened.

When Amphitrite noticed it, she quickly covered her legs and asked carefully.

Amphitrite:

Are...you sure?

Commander:

Yeah. Especially when it is this kind of a gift. (Choice)

Amphitrite:

But I heard Miss Muse and Miss Sleipnir were preparing something like this for you...

Commander:

Ah...w, well, that's a little different... (Choice)

I tried my best to convince her that the two and I have confessed to one another how we felt, and they're just planning a special 'event' for me.

Amphitrite:

I, I see. My apologies.

Well...Uhm...I'm good at crafting...

So...would it be okay if I knitted a sweater or a scarf since it's getting colder...?

Commander:

Absolutely. I'll look forward to it. (Choice)

Amphitrite:

...Yes. It won't take long.

A, and...I heard the lingerie I bought earlier was a final sale. So...

P, perhaps another time...

Commander:

Amphitrite left the room after saying something that made me wear my thinking cap.

...I'll definitely look forward to it. (Choice)

Honestly, from the short glance I just had, what Amphtrite was wearing was hitting the right spots for me.

END.
