Though many girls are all knowing that the upcoming Valentine's Day coming up tomorrow. Caster, being way too busy and rightfully focused, is already overlooking the romantic implications that this day could have with him and everyone in the fleet. And everyone is planning to do something at least unique to Caster if they can even get up to him on that day.

But one particular cruiser is already made up her mind on what approach she would take for the coming day.

"Eugen, who are you giving those chocolates to?" A very curious U-556 tip-toed to see over the table which she saw a bowl that she can't see what's inside, but also being aware with tomorrow, she made a very precise assumption.

The little submarine had to wait for a response as the cruiser was still picking her choice flavors for the sweets she's making.

"I think you can piece together, can you?" She came back and started to mix in the extra stuff she brought with her. With a cute cube pattern apron around her usual uniform, it was Prinz Eugen of the Iron Blood.

U-556 nodded and already knew that Eugen was a pretty 'sweet' person herself when it comes to people she very much trusts. Years in the Iron Fortress only confirmed her observation. But she pondered why the Commander would get such an early gift from Eugen.

She looked around the kitchen, as they were the only 2 on the right side, but the other factions mingling on their left, working hard, and working together. Putting all their feelings in their creation, she gets why the girls that she was gazing upon would make chocolates for him since well, they were with him longer than 'them'.

Meanwhile, they have barely known him as a person, and yet here she is working hard on her own, fully independent, and nothing else to help her. Only her hands and her resolve.

A tug behind the submarine made U-556 turn around to see Eugen point a spoon full of sweet, syrupy cocoa at her face.

"Say ahh~" she instructed, in which the submarine abided, and putting the spoon in her mouth.

Needless to say, it made U-556 feel very happy and she was already feeling tired because of how sweet it was.

The submarine looked back up to see Eugen looking at her smiling, seeing the adorable reaction that the submarine gave to her chocolate creation.

'The Commander better be thankful for this chocolate...' The U-boat thought as she phased out looking at Eugen continuing her chocolate making.

Valentine's Day has arrived, everyone was excited to give their injured and yet hard-working Commander something to remind him that his hard work will never go unnoticed.

A man could only dream of the experience that Caster just had for this particular day. Because after gift, after gift, after gift, there was still no end in sight for the affection he's getting showered upon by the girls.

Due to his still badly injured state he can only muster up a few dozen smiles to the girls that were very kind enough to give him many gifts, mainly chocolate for this day. And fortunately unlike some stupid anime protagonist, Caster is appreciating every single one of them and repeatedly telling the girls that he'll try to eat all of them in the next coming days.

And this day of affection sure made him not regret that decision. Even though in hindsight, it would be a bad idea in general.

Because of too many sweets, equals, probably a lot of dead teeth. (Assuming he washes of course LOL.)

It's night-time, Caster is already tired and the maids have let him go for the day since he can do most things on his own now. So he's very much alone walking into his office...

...And locking it.

Since the injury, the maids have been really trying to keep the obsessive girls away from Caster for a little bit so he can get his own peace when in his room/office. To ease him a lot more and to try to recover even quicker. So in precaution, the maids always lock the door to his office before as soon as he gets in the room, of course with Caster's condition a bit better, he volunteered to lock it himself. So that's what he did.

At this point, Caster is borderline sleep-walking. Just wrung out of his entire energy for a day. And can't wait to slam himself to his bed and doze off.

He did just that but felt something's off.

"Aw... Huh...?" He opened his eyes. "Huh?!"

He raised his head to see Eugen's face.

Caster was just shocked that he took a step back. But he wasn't overreacting. And frankly, he was curious about what she's doing here. As he just now noticed that he didn't see any Iron Blood members give him any confectioneries.

But he was also immediately embarrassed as he looked away from Eugen's attire for the night as she was nearing full-nude. As ribbons were wrapped around her *'sensitive'* parts... And that's basically it. Nothing else. But something else, on her chest, was a small, heart-shaped chocolate that was about to melt and sink into Eugen's bosom.

Eugen finally got the reaction that she was looking for from the somewhat stoic Commander and was satisfied with that reaction alone. But... She wanted to take it further...

"Oh, Commander... Don't waste this chocolate, look." She pointed at the chocolate about to melt.

'Tch...' He closed his eyes to think about it...

He then suddenly pushed Eugen by the shoulder back on his bed. Eugen was startled by the act.

"You know what...?"

He nabbed the chocolate straight from her bosom and put it in his mouth.

"I won't." As he gulped the chocolate.

And the night... Well, could be left to your imagination.
