"Congratulations on your victory.
You may now enjoy a wonderful evening with the Commander.
He has no right to refuse."
Levi could barely hold back the despair swelling inside him.
Javelin pressed a finger against her blushing face. "W-wow…"
Ayanami, equally flushed, sighed in admiration. "So envious… nanodesu…"
Enterprise Junior pouted with regret, her voice full of frustration. "Why wasn't it me who won…?"
"That's how it is." Laffey slapped a large card onto the table with surprising force. Her voice brimmed with energy. "Commander, I won!"
"So… tonight, the Commander belongs to me."
Levi lay on the bed in Laffey's quarters, and at last heard the sweetest sound of the day:
"Mission complete!"
The moment Laffey claimed victory in the board game, the mission's timer had expired.
During that span, Levi had endured temptation after temptation—kisses, hugs, no shortage of playful teasing—but he had held the line.
Which meant the mission was a success. Reward secured.
Hypnosis Ability Lv.1: Light hypnosis on a single shipgirl. Can subtly alter her perception. Duration: up to 1 hour. Cooldown: 24 hours.
One hour. More than enough.
Levi smiled as he watched Laffey step toward him, dressed in a blue bunny-girl outfit.
She had no idea.
From her point of view, the Commander was nothing more than her prize for winning Monopoly. She was today's champion, the hunter who had beaten three rivals, and now she could enjoy her captured prey.
"Commander… you like this bunny suit best, right?"
White bunny ears. A sleek blue bodysuit. Her slightly plump, short legs wrapped snugly in sheer white bunny tights.
On her tray sat a bottle of her favorite Laffey red wine and a tall crystal glass.
Catching Levi's gaze, the corners of her lips curled upward.
"See? There are little bunny prints on my stockings… and even on my shoes… Laffey loves them. Commander must like them too, right?"
Levi nodded.
Of course he liked them.
With every movement she made, the little bunnies on her outfit, tights, and shoes seemed to come alive—bouncing playfully with her every step.
Setting the tray aside, Laffey poured half a glass for him, then lifted the bottle to her lips without hesitation. "Commander, cheers~"
Levi tilted his head back and drank.
Seeing him down it, her smile grew sly, mischievous.
"Commander always keeps his word, right? Since the card said you don't have the right to refuse, that means… tonight, Commander is completely mine."
She pounced onto him.
But without her realizing, the roles of hunter and prey had already reversed.
Like a little white rabbit leaning in close to the big bad wolf, she was offering everything of her own accord.
Levi snapped his fingers, activating his new ability. Hypnosis shimmered across her mind, bending her common sense ever so slightly.
"Master…" Her voice shifted under the spell, her choice of words subtly changing. "Master's been working hard all day, right? Let this maid… help ease Master's fatigue…"
That's right. What Levi wanted was roleplay—Master and Maid.
"Good maid."
He pulled Laffey against him. "So eager to ease your Master's fatigue? That makes Master very happy."
"Today's maid… is a cute bunny maid~" Laffey climbed onto the bed, crouching in front of him with her hands tucked beside her head, imitating rabbit ears. "Bunny maid is here to relieve Master's stress. Please enjoy Bunny as much as you want, Master."
Levi didn't rush. An entire hour was plenty of time to savor her at his own pace.
He slid off her tiny black heels with his own hands, then gently played with the soft, pale "ice cream" beneath.
Yes, they'd kissed before during the board game, but back then, with other shipgirls watching, he'd held back.
Now it was different. Just the two of them here. He could enjoy her however he pleased, taste her however he liked.
"Did you know? In the Dragon Empery, rabbits are considered auspicious creatures."
Laffey lay sprawled across the bed, her gaze hazy. "Auspicious…?"
"Yes. Auspicious." Levi indulged in her sweetness before adding softly, "They symbolize… prosperity and fertility."
"Prosperity… and fertility…" Laffey's face burned hotter than fire. She wasn't sure if it was the wine or something else, but those words kept echoing in her little head, over and over.
"And there's more…"
"M-more…?"
Laffey was already drowning in the overwhelming sensations Levi gave her. She didn't even notice when he gently parted her "bunny's hind legs."
"And that is…" Levi's voice dropped to a tender murmur. "It's said rabbits can… breed year-round."
Laffey's fragile reason snapped.
"Good maid… is that really all you can handle?"
Levi's body had been enhanced once before by the system. Even Saint Louis, the veteran seductress of the base, needed her sister Helena's support to barely cope with him. Laffey, going solo? She had no chance.
Only halfway through the hypnosis's hour, she was already begging for mercy.
"Mmm… p-please…"
But Levi had no intention of showing mercy.
Heh. Now, who's the hunter, and who's the prey?
Weren't you so confident just a while ago?
And now? All that's left is begging?

The Lv.1 hypnosis lasted at most an hour, and intense emotional surges chipped away at its hold. Inevitably, the effect began to fade.
For just a fleeting moment, clarity returned to Laffey's eyes.
But only for a moment.
She was a shipgirl—yet she felt like nothing more than a tiny boat tossed into stormy seas, helpless beneath the crashing waves. All she could do was watch herself be overturned again and again.
Levi never noticed when her breathless murmurs shifted from "Master" to "Commander," and then back again.
All he knew was that he pressed her soft body into countless poses, never letting her twitching bunny tail rest for even a second.
Finally, at her latest plea for mercy, Levi relented—granting forgiveness to this "rebellious girl who dared to challenge her Commander's authority."
Clinging to him like an octopus, Laffey treated Levi as her only safe harbor in the vast, merciless sea.
She whispered sweet, incoherent sounds as sleep overtook her.
And if one listened carefully, her lips kept alternating—between "Commander" and "Master."
