CHAPTER 49/CHAPTER 50


POV FIRST PERSON

The day ended and it got dark, strangely when I was inside the baths, I talked a lot with the girls from the Eagle Union, the Royal Navy and with my only American partner, time passed very quickly and now I think I decided to leave the thermal baths since I started to feel dizzy and I didn't want to pass out, so I left the bathroom, when I left I dried off and got dressed, outside I could see that the girls drink bottled milk and I was surprised.

Me: Girls, what are you drinking?

Eldride: It's milk. In the Sakura empire they have the custom of drinking milk after coming out of a hot spring.

Me: Really?

Norfolk: Our Majesty had imported all this from the empire.

Suffolk: Sure, we're talking before this war starts.

Me: And does milk last that long?

Suffolk: Yes, also in the Sheffield mission, Edinburg had bought another batch, so we will have this type of milk for another month.

Me: I understand, thanks for the information.

Suffolk: No problem, if you have any questions feel free to ask me.

I understand.

Without giving the matter any more thought, I took one of the bottles and drank it, without a doubt I already understand why the girls drink it, this milk has a very pleasant taste and has just the right touch of sweetness, without a doubt a high quality drink .

Me: Geez, this is really good.

Burke: Yes, it's very rich.

Me: where did you come from?

Burke: I just got out of the baths (Expression of pleasure) Yes, having a human body is very good, I can enter places that were impossible for me before.

Me: That's true.

TIME SKIP THIRD PERSON POV

At night the girls do what they like the most, others are talking to each other in the restaurant, others do gardening, others read books in the library or others play video games.

Meanwhile, in Javelin's room, Laffey and Unicorn have a sleepover party, they talk about Ayanami, the girl from the Sakura empire they met in the first chapter of the anime.

Unicorn: Ayanami? Ah, she's that girl we met that day the empire declared war on us.

Javelin: I know we're enemies and what I'm about to tell you may sound absurd, but... I want to be her friend!

Unicorn: I knew you would say that (Smile) I also want to be her friend, (melancholic tone) But this war is absurd, I met Enterprise in the past, she talked while laughing with Nagato, the two of them got along, right? Why did the war break out out of nowhere?

Javelin: I guess it's greed or power, war is always triggered by those things.

Laffey: I'm sick of this too (Eats a potato chip), I don't like fighting against an ally.

Javelin: Yes, before we were all allies, why did this happen?

Unicorn: You just said the reasons.

Javelin: Ah, that's right... Whatever! I'll make friends with Ayanami, even if it costs me my life!

THIRD PERSON POV TWO YEARS BEFORE

Enterprise is next to her sister Yorktown, Yorktown is sitting on her bed as she recovers from her injuries.

Yorktown: Someday you will remember again the hope that people placed in your name.

??????????

In that Enterprise wakes up, she looks at the clock and it's midnight.

Enterprise: I've woken up 3 times, I think I can't sleep.

Enterprise determined to clear her mind of the memories of Yorktown, she decides to take a night walk, she walks to the beach and she sees the night landscape, it is a very clear night so you can see the stars and constellations, you can also see the full moon high in the sky, without her knowing there was someone sleeping in the sand on the beach.

Enterprise: The sky is beautiful. Hey? WAAAA!

???: It hurt!

Enterprise bumps into the girl sleeping in the sand and Enterprise falls on top of the girl.

Enterprise: (Getting up quickly) Oh, sorry, I didn't see you, huh? Enty!? What are you doing here!?

Me: (groaning in pain) Ouch, that hurt a lot, I'm sorry mom, I was looking at stars to relax and it seems I fell asleep here, (uncomfortable laugh) Hahaha. And you? Couldn't you sleep?

Enterprise: I felt the sea calling me.

Me: (Without understanding anything) Haaa?

Enterprise: It's a joke, I didn't mean it, I just couldn't sleep that's all.

Me: The vestiges of war, I have survived many combats in my world, I have seen brave sailors and pilots die, from time to time I hear their voices in my head that prevent me from sleeping.

Enterprise: So what are you doing?

Me: I come to a beach away from civilization and lie down on the sand and look at the stars, the sound of the sea relaxes you a lot and I can fall asleep. This is the reason why I am sleeping here today.

Enterprise: How many men did you see die?

Me: (Sad tone) Enough not to count them.

Enterprise: I understand...

Me: and you?

Enterprise: I've only seen one die, it was the commander and my husband.

Me: I understand, that's why you're like this.

Enterprise: Actually after 4 months I was able to overcome the death of my beloved, but when my sister was seriously injured, I think my heart can't stand to see my sister bedridden, it's a very difficult sight for me to see, my sister suffers because of me.

Me: I don't think your sister is suffering because of you, last time when I traveled with Vestal to the San Diego base, I had the opportunity to see my aunt Yorktown, she was very happy to meet me and also asked about you, she cares a lot about your health and she wants you to get back that cheerful spark you used to have.

Enterprise: I'm trying! (Low voice) I try, but seeing my older sister is impossible, I remember that day over and over again and I can't...

Me: An old friend of mine once told me...

Enterprise: (hears Enty)

Me: The duty of a survivor is to live for those who couldn't survive, Enterprise, you have to live for those lives that couldn't be saved, you have to smile and have fun for them. In addition you have to fight and defend innocent lives that are defenseless against a threat from the enemy.

Enterprise: It's very easy to say, but it's very difficult to do. I prefer death.

Me: Dying is easy, you can grab a gun or a knife and blow your brains out and that's it, but living with a great responsibility or burden is not easy.

Enterprise: (sigh) You're absolutely right.

Me: Okay, enough with these emotional conversations and let's have a more fun conversation.

Enterprise: Fun conversation?

In that Enty throws a bottle of beer at Enterprise.

Me: We drink some liquor to liven up the moment.

SAKURA EMPIRE

Elsewhere on one of the rooftops Akagi looks out towards the sea with a wistful and hopeful expression.

Akagi: Soon, soon we will see each other again Sister Amagi.

A strong wind hits her along with several cherry blossom petals.

On another side of the empire base, Ayanami looks at the full moon and holds out her hands as she thinks of Javelin and her friends, she is very confused about it.

Ayanami: What can I do?

CHAPTER 50

POV ENTERPRISE

Enterprise: (Scared) What are you doing? Why are you doing this?

I could see that my body does not obey me and it moves on its own, my body attacked anything that moved, in that I saw the 5th carrier division in front of me and my body deployed hundreds of bombers to Zuikaku and Shokaku, I was surprised because I didn't expect that I could load an absurd number of bombers.

Entreprise: No! do not do it!

¡BBBBOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!

In that my bombers were shot down easily and I breathed a sigh of relief, in that I see my daughter, she was the one who shot down my planes and I was glad for that, I still don't understand why my body moves on its own.

In that my body loads an arrow and points it towards my daughter.

Entreprise: No! Do not do it! She's my daughter! Do not shoot! Obey me!

In that my body shoots the arrow, the arrow flew at supersonic speed and hit my daughter in the chest, a lot of blood splattered from the wound and then she falls inert to the sea.

Enterprise: (Terror) ¡NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

???????

In that I wake up quickly, when I look closely I find myself in my bed, sunlight filters from the curtain so it's already dawn, my breathing is agitated and I'm drenched in sweat, next to me is Enty sleeping, she is asleep in chair while her head is resting on my bed so I stroke her head she smiles in her sleep so I inadvertently felt good too it seemed like that spark of mine was re-igniting but at that moment she wakes up and I instinctively removed my hand.

Me: Good morning.

Enterprise: (awkward laugh) Good morning.

Me: How did you sleep?

Enterprise: Well, by the way, what are you doing sleeping in my room?

Me: Ah... well, yesterday you got drunk and passed out, so I brought you here.

Enterprise: Hmm, I understand, thanks, but my head doesn't hurt, (Thoughtfully) That's weird.

Me: Well, I'll go to breakfast.

Enterprise: I understand, I'll wait for Belfast.

POV FIRST PERSON

Today I have work in R&D, thanks to Lolisabeth, I'm working every day in the laboratory since we are analyzing that mental black cube.

Me: (Disgust) How I hate this.

I do hate this job, but work is work and you have to do it

TIME SKIP

The girls at Azur Lane work 10 hours a day and we barely make 0.0001% of the analysis.

This thing is made with 25 chemical compounds and of the 25 chemical compounds, there are 20 chemical compounds that don't exist in the periodic table and for that reason we can't do anything, well I don't blame them for this delay, but that 0.0001% is a great valuable track.

Langley: This thing is very mystical.

Ranger: You'd have to apply the legends to explain this thing.

Me: But the good thing is that this thing works like a battery, it stores an energy that is strange and mysterious to us.

Ranger: There's no progress on this job, maybe we should drop this.

Akashi: Azur Lane and the world depends on analysis.

Me: But what could we do? We've been working for 2 weeks now and haven't found anything other than that this thing works like a battery.

¡TONCK!

[This is a notice for Enty-san, please report to the command office]

Me: (disgust) Now what?

Ranger: You can go, we'll take care of the rest.

Me: okay.

TIME SKIP

I showed up at the office, when I arrived all the high-ranking girls were here.

Wales: Please sit down.

Me: Hm.

I sat down and the meeting began.

Wales: We have recently received a report of a scouting fleet, the Sakura Empire is sailing to the base.

At that they all tensed.

Me: again? It seems that they are not satisfied with the beating of the first time.

Wales: It seems that their first target is Midway, in Midway there is a forward base that is in the process of being remodeled.

Enterprise: Yes, if the imperial fleet attacks that base, the remodeling project would be canceled and thousands and billions of dollars would be lost, in addition, that base is currently unprotected, the only fleet is the Missouri and Iowa fleet.

Wales: The empire is aware of the weakness of the base's defenses and would seize any chance of victory.

Me: That's right, we have currently defeated the empire in two matches and they only have one victory against us.

Wales: For that reason, to prevent further damage to our alliance, we are going to deploy a strike fleet against the Red Axis fleet and intercept them before they reach the island, it will be at coordinates **** 350 km to the west of Midway. Did you understand?

All: Yes!

Wales: Get ready, we leave tomorrow morning, that's all, later the girls who will participate in the mission will be reported.

All: Understood!
