Chapter 1: An Odd Place

As Néstor opened this "Azur Lane", you two were transported to that world. You didn't hold his hand and because of that, you two have been separated. After that, everything went black for you.

Meanwhile in the distance

???: Hey sis? Is that a person laying on the ground?

???: It seems. We should check on him, he could be hurt.

???: Right!

You are lying on the ground unconscious. You then dream about the Germany vs. Argentina match.

...

...

...

You can hear fans cheering, chanting, and shouting.

Commentator: Agüero with the ball!

You run down the field with the ball. There are two German defenders trying to get the ball from you. You decide to pass the ball to your teammate.

Commentator: Agüero... passes it to Álvarez! Oh, but a slide tackle by Burnić! Oooh that looks like it hurts! No card shown by the referee!

You fall down on the grass. You feel pain and stay on the ground for a while.

After a minute passes after being on the floor... you here cheering.

Commentator: AND STENDERA WITH A GOOOOOOOAL! GERMANY LEAD 1-0 AGAINST ARGENTINA IN THE 118TH MINUTE!

You hear footsteps approaching you.

???: Agüero?? Agü...e...ro....??

The voice fades away...

???: Excuse me, are you in any pain???

You slowly open your eyes to see two blonde girls.

???: You're awake!

???: There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know.

???: Here, give me your hand.

The girl was reaching for your hand. She appears to have American color clothes and a white 'coat' around her neck. The other girl also looks like her but instead of a 'white coat' she has headphones around her neck and shades on her head.

You scratch your head.

Y/N: I'm fine...

You slowly rise up from the ground.

???: Well... I was trying to help...

Y/N: Yeah that's cool and all, but where am I?

???: You're at base! Well... outside of base that is...

???: Oh I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce ourselves.

Cleveland: Names Cleveland! I am the eldest sister of the Cleveland-class. Nice to meet ya!

Columbia: My name is Columbia! I am the second ship of the Cleveland-class light cruisers.

Cleveland: What's yours?

Y/N: ...Y/N... Agüero.

Cleveland: Well Y/N, since you appear to be lost. How about you follow us to go see Shikikan! We have to see him anyway.

Y/N: Skee... can?

Columbia: Not how you'd say it but yeah.

Y/N: Yeah... I don't think I would want to follow you two strangers.

Cleveland: S-Strangers...? We introduced ourselves...! Please trust us!

Y/N: Nah bro, I don't trust someone I literally just met.

Cleveland: B-Bro...?

Columbia: It's fine Cleveland *giggles* Anyway, Y/N. Please trust us, we just want to show you where Shikikan is.

Y/N: Nah, you two probably want me to follow you so you can trap me.

Cleveland: W-Wha!? Why would we even do that!

Columbia: Relax sis... it's only natural that he could be this cautious.

Columbia: Please consider it!

Y/N: Fine... I suppose I'll follow you two.. but if you lead me somewhere else you'll regret it.

Cleveland's thoughts

Cleveland: Sheesh... this guy is seriously overly cautious!

Cleveland: *sigh* Not to mention he called me bro... *sigh* Calm down Cleveland...

End of Cleveland's thoughts

You allow yourself to follow Cleveland & Columbia. The three of you walk together, you watch your surroundings. As you walk farther, you see even more girls. They greet Cleveland & Columbia, they greet them back as well.

Y/N: I don't trust that girl... look at the way she greeted you.

Cleveland: I'm pretty sure that was just a normal greeting...

Y/N: Hmm... she could be an enemy...

Cleveland: *sigh* She's not gonna hurt you...

After walking for a while, Columbia comes up with a small game.

Columbia: Hey guys, how about we race to HQ? It's just straight up ahead!

Cleveland: Yeah! Unless Mr. Cautious over here is worried that he'll get hurt...

Y/N: Nope. I will agree to this.

Cleveland: W-What!? You agree with my sister but when I say something you think of me as your enemy!?

Y/N: Relax bro, I enjoy running.

Cleveland: Ngh... B-Bro...

Columbia: *giggles* Are you blushing sis?

Cleveland: N-No...!

Columbia: Anyways! On 3...

Columbia: 1... 2...

Columbia: 3!

You allow them to run after Columbia said 3.

Cleveland: Heh, I... I thought you said you liked running!

You then started dashing to them.

You pass Columbia and she is left in the dust.

Columbia's thoughts

Columbia: Woah... he's fast... he might be useful...

End of Columbia's thoughts

Cleveland: Heh, this is easy...

Cleveland: Huh?

Y/N: See ya.

Cleveland: H-How!?

A few minutes later

Cleveland: *pant* *pant* How... are you so fast...?

Columbia: You're pretty good Y/N.

Y/N: It was nothing.

Cleveland: I gotta say, your speed is remarkable.

???: Oh, hello Cleveland and Columbia. Here to visit Shikikan I assume?

Cleveland: You bet!

You turn around to see a maid.

Belfast: Oh hello there. My name is Belfast.

She bows and looks at you.

Belfast: Your name?

Y/N: Y/N Agüero... also...

Y/N: Breakfas-

Cleveland puts her hands on your mouth to prevent you from finishing your words.

Belfast: Hm?

Cleveland: Don't mind him... he's a little weird.

Belfast: It's fine *giggles* Let us go see Shikikan.

Belfast leads the way and Columbia follows.

Cleveland then removes her hands from your mouth.

Y/N: Was that necessary?

Cleveland: Was calling her breakfast necessary!?

Y/N: *sigh*

Cleveland: Well, come on. Let's not have them wait on us.

A few minutes later

The four of you are at the door of this Shikikan.

Belfast: Please, don't be shy to enter. I'll be going to get tea.

Cleveland: See ya Belfast!

Columbia: Y/N, are you ready?

Y/N: I'm perfectly prepared. I'm completely ready and prepared for this.

Cleveland: Lol.

Cleveland then knocked on the door.

???: Come in.

The voice sounded familiar.

As Cleveland opened the door you saw what it seemed to be. It's Néstor.

Néstor: Agüero! It's you!

Cleveland: Greetings Shikikan! You know Y/N?

Néstor: He's my childhood friend.

Columbia: That's nice!

Y/N: ...

Néstor: Please, all of you may have a seat.

You sat down on a chair, Cleveland and Columbia sat down on a couch. You see Néstor's desk with some stack of papers.

Néstor: Now, I assume you know why I called you here... Cleveland and Columbia.

Cleveland: No... I forgot actually... my b.

Néstor: It's fine. I called you here for our plans to win the Confederation Cup!

Y/N: Confederation Cup?

Néstor: Yep! I help with the planning. I should explain this to you.

Néstor: Alright! First of all, Cleveland is the team captain of the Eagle Union. Columbia is a left midfielder.

Y/N: Whose the manager of this?

Cleveland: That would be Enterprise!

Y/N: Enterprise?

You looked at Cleveland with confusion.

Cleveland: She's the Eagle Union manager. Last time, we made it to the quarter finals!

Columbia: Yeah... but we lost to the Ironblood... 5-2...

Y/N: At least you didn't lose 7-1.

Néstor: You see Y/N, Ironblood are the current champions. They won two cups. They have a really strong lineup.

Columbia: *sigh* I hope we can do better this time!

You then hear knocking on the door.

Néstor: Come in!

The door opened revealing, Belfast.

Belfast: I have brought the tea, master.

Néstor: Y/N, have you met Belfast?

Y/N: Yeah...

Néstor: She's the largest cruiser amongst the Royal Navy. She is the head maid.

Belfast: No need to praise me, master.

Y/N: Why does she call you master?

Néstor: It's a maid thing. I guess. Hahaha.

Belfast handed tea to Néstor, Cleveland, and Columbia. Belfast then walked over to you.

Belfast: Greetings Y/N. Please accept this cup of tea.

Y/N: This isn't poisoned right?

Néstor: Y/N!

Cleveland: *sigh* Here we go again...

Columbia: Ah... He's done it again, lol.

Belfast: No, it's not poisoned. I wouldn't do that.

Y/N: Hm... then it probably takes long for the poison to kick in.

Belfast: Nope, I swear it is not poisoned. I would not poison my master and his friends.

Y/N: Fine then.

You accepted the tea Belfast gave you. She then left with the empty tray.

Cleveland: Seriously Y/N... you don't have to do that every time you meet new girls...

Y/N: Just being cautious.

Cleveland: *sigh* You and your cautiousness...

Néstor: Alright now where was I? Ah yes! The cup!Eight nations will be competing. Eagle Union, Royal Navy, Sakura Empire, Ironblood, Eastern Radiance, North Union, Iris Orthodoxy, and the Sardegna Empire.

Néstor: Cleveland, Columbia. If you didn't know... Y/N is actually a professional football player.

Cleveland: Seriously?

Columbia: That's nice.

Néstor: He plays for the Argentina National Football Team. He almost won a cup against Germany but lost 1-0...

Cleveland: It seems Ironblood is currently unstoppable.

Y/N: For now... but I'll get my victory. Even if it means winning it here.

Cleveland: But you can only join if you're from that country.

Néstor: Y/N. I would like for you to visit the nations I mentioned. You can go and see their play style and I can put you in one of those teams you know. I have my ways. Obviously not Ironblood... since they probably wouldn't accept you.

Néstor: You should probably get to know this place first.

Y/N: So, that means I can leave?

Néstor: Yes.

Y/N: Alright.

You then get up and headed out the office.

Cleveland: Shikikan... he seems like a great footballer... we should have him on our team.

Columbia: I agree. He's definitely a good player.

Y/N: Yes, I agree. However, he should decide which team he wants to play for.

Cleveland: Yeah... he is different but I would like to know him even better!

Half an hour later

You walk to the place where you first woke up in this world.

Your thoughts

Y/N: Where do I even begin?

Y/N: *sigh* Wish I had google maps for this.

Y/N: Hey... is that... hm... it appears to be a girl sleeping on a bench.

End of your thoughts

You approach the girl sleeping on the bench.

Y/N: Hey you.

???: *yawn* Shikikan? I swear... I'm...... huh? You're not... Shikikan...

Y/N: No, I am not. Who are you?

Laffey: *yawn* My.... name... is................. Laffey...

Y/N: Cool. Can you show me around this place?

Laffey: Laffey... show... you this place?

Y:N: Yes. So can you?

???: Laffey! There you are!

You turn around and see a girl with purple hair running to Laffey.

???: Oh hello, who are you?

Y/N: Y/N.

Javelin: My name is Javelin. I'm from the Royal Navy. I see you found Laffey.

Y/N: Is she normally this tired?

Javelin: Eh... sometimes. May I ask why you are here?

Y/N: I need help getting to know this place. That's all.

Javelin: Oh, I can do that. Laffey wake up.

Laffey: Laffey... is up...

Javelin: Okay Laffey, where do you want to go?

Laffey: Dormitory... *yawn*

Javelin: Come on Laffey... *sigh* might need Z23 to help.

Javelin: Hey, Y/N. Can you help?

Y/N: With what?

Javelin: Carrying her. I suppose.

Y/N: Hm... I'm not sure about that.

Javelin: Please? I'll help you with knowing this place.

Y/N: Guess I have no choice. Alright fine. I'll do it.

You carry Laffey and puts her head on your chest.

Laffey: Mm... Laffey... feels warm...

Javelin: Laffey please wake up.

Laffey rubbed her eyes.

Laffey: Laffey can help... now.

Laffey: But... I feel safe here....

Y/N: Laffey, you should help show me around this place.

Laffey then made you put her down and yawned.

Laffey: Okay... Laffey will help.

Laffey: We can go to the........ training field...

Y/N: Training field?

Javelin: Laffey is apart of the Eagle Union National Team, she is a defender.

Y/N: Interesting... we should go there.

Javelin: Well, sounds fine by me. We should find Z23 there.

The three of you then walk to the training field. There you'll meet many girls from different nations.
