What to read after Full Metal Panic! Volume 6?

What could be more romantic than Christmas Eve on a cruise ship? That's what Kaname is thinking when her school decides to schedule a make-up class trip... at least, until Sousuke declares that he's made other plans. He'll soon find that he's needed, though, as the ship finds itself beset by half-hearted terrorists, killer robots in the hold, and worst of all—a wannabe hero who's seen too much Die Hard! With the specter of Amalgam hanging over everything, can Sousuke probe the mystery behind them, while also keeping Kaname safe from harm?
