Narrator: Two days ago saw Kawakaze called back to the mainland. The commander finds himself inside of his office with his assistant once again.

Nobuhito: **signs a paper**

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Another boring day ja?

**knock knock knock**

Nobuhito: Come in please.

Narrator: Akagi walks into the commander's office. And she has a serious expression one.

Akagi: Hello Shikikan. I have some good news.

Nobuhito: Oh, what's the good news Akagi-san?

Akagi: Your secretary has arrived, and she has brought a friend as well.

Nobuhito: Oh no, not a friend.

Akagi: Not that kind of friend Shikikan, her daughter.

Nobuhito: Daughter, I see. Where is she again?

Akagi: At the docks Shikikan. I'll go get her, and inform her of the situation as well.

Nobuhito: Thank you Akagi-san.

Akagi: My pleasure Shikikan.

Narrator: Akagi leaves the office and goes to find Shiranui at the docks.

Nobuhito: Phew, I thought something else happened.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: I did as well my friend. Kawakaze departed this morning.

Nobuhito: Understood my friend. **signs another paper**

**knock knock knock**

Nobuhito: Come in please.

Akagi: **opens the door** Shikikan, you have a visitor or two.

Nobuhito: Please, come in.

Narrator: A girl with a black dress, red flames on it, bunny ears, and ruby red eyes enters the commander's office. Another girl that looks just like the first girl also enters the commander's office.

Nobuhito: Hello, I am Nobuhito, the commander. You must be Shiranui correct?

Shiranui: Yes I am. I am your new secretary.

Nobuhito: Understood. May I ask who she is?

Shiranui: This is my daughter, Shiranui-chan. Say high sweety.

Shiranui-chan: H-Hi, Shikikan. **hiding behind her mother**

Nobuhito: You don't need to fear me my friend. Besides, me and my assistant built a play area for the others, just like you. I'd recommend you spend some time with Akagi-chan and Taihou-chan.

Akagi: That isn't a bad idea at all. Should I give them a tour?

Nobuhito: Of course. Also, show her the other little ones please, I'm sure they'll be friends in no time.

Akagi: Understood Shikikan. Follow me please.

Shiranui: Just one more thing commander.

Nobuhito: Hmm?

Shiranui: Shikikan, you have a few more ships waiting for you at the docks.

Nobuhito: Please don't be Yandere's.

Akagi: I'll protect her for the time being.

Nobuhito: Thank you once again Akagi.

Akagi: My pleasure Shikikan.

Narrator: They leave the commander's office and soon, the commander and his assistant do the same.

Nobuhito: I wonder who they are?

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Maybe from different factions. I have done my research and know the weaknesses of many of the ship-girls. As for here, I know everyone's weakness or weaknesses.

Nobuhito: Thank you, that means you are truly loyal to me.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: My pleasure my friend.

Nobuhito: More short ones? Oh no.

Narrator: What is up ahead are two starter destroyers. The two of three in the English servers to be exact.

Nobuhito: **whispering** Get ready.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: **reads his Luger and Saber** Oh I am my friend. I have a firm grip of the Holy Saber of der Fatherland ja?

Nobuhito: Good.

Narrator: They walk up to the girls and confront them in person.

Nobuhito: Um, hello?

???: Huh? **faces the commander** Laffey!!!!

Laffey: Huh? **sees the commander** Oh.

???: I apologize for my friend here, she is almost always sleepy. I am assume you know her name, ja?

Nobuhito: Yes, Laffey correct?

???: Jawohl. I am Z-23, a strong Iron Blood destroyer, or also called Nimi. Please call me Z-23, my code name.

Nobuhito: Understood Z-23. I am Nobuhito, the commander of Azur Lane. I assume you will be calling me Kommandant right?

Z-23: Yes, Kommandant.

Nobuhito: Understood, this is my assistant, Wilhelm.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: I am the son of the German Doctor Wilhelm von Alfred I/ or Doctor A. for his coded name.

Z-23: Oh, I remember him very well.

Author: CUT!!! Don't tell them that okay? Just introduce yourself.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Understood Author.

Author: Good, take 2, ACTION!

Take 2:

Wilhelm von Alfred II: I am Wilhelm von Alfred II, the commander's assistant, refer to me as Wilhelm and nothing else please.

Z-23: Understood Wilhelm. We'll get going. Laffey!!! Stop snoozing around!!

Laffey: Just a few more minutes.

Z-23: Nein!!

Narrator: Meanwhile with Shiranui, they are coming to the end of the tour. Scene shifts to Shiranui.

Akagi: And this is your dorm. Do you have any questions?

Shiranui: No, not at the moment.

Akagi: Understood. Now, the last stop will be the play area, Shikikan and his assistant built it all by hand and decorated it all by hand as well.

Shiranui-chan: W-Will there be anyone there?

Akagi: Yes, Akagi-chan and Taihou-chan. Trust me, they are very nice.

Shiranui: O-Okay.

Narrator: She leads them to the play area and both of them are shocked, even the cold Shiranui is shocked as well.

Shiranui: T-THIS!? The commander did all of this by hand?!

Akagi: Yes, he and his assistant. Within a week as well. Akagi-chan?

Akagi-chan: Huh? Coming mommy! **goes down the slide and runs to Akagi** Yes mommy.

Akagi: This is Shiranui-chan, she is new. Can you show her around the play area dear? She is a little shy.

Akagi-chan: O-Of course I will. Hello Shiranui-chan, I am Akagi-chan. This is my friend Taihou-chan.

Taihou-chan: Hello. **waves and smiles**

Shiranui-chan: Um. **looks up at her mother**

Shiranui: **nods her head**

Shiranui-chan: Okay.

Akagi: Remember, she is new and a little shy.

Akagi-chan: Yes mommy. Follow me Shiranui-chan.

Narrator: She slowly walks into the play area and looks puzzled by the unique inner decoration of the play area.

Shiranui: Well then, I need to get to work. Could you show me to my office?

Akagi: Of course. Follow me.

Narrator: Scene shifts to commander's.

Nobuhito: Well then, that was quick.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Indeed it was my friend.

Nobuhito: **gulps** But Z-23 seemed very serious. If that is her serious side, then I can only imagine what her Yandere side is, if she is Yandere.

Wilhelm von Alfred II: Indeed my friend, indeed.

Somewhere in the docks

Narrator: Z-23 and Laffey are inside of Z-23's dorm. They are thinking about the commander and his assistant.

Z-23's Thoughts

Hehehehe, I will make the Kommandant ours, Lord Bismarck will like him very much. I will have my fun with him and then turn him in to Lord Bismarck. But I need to do something about his assistant. He has a Saber, I saw how stern his grip was on it, ready to slice anyone that tries to get near the Kommandant. I will need some time to study his assistant and see how long he is with the Kommandant before a break, weaknesses, weapons, how he uses them, and etc. Laffey shouldn't be in my way.

End of Z-23's Thoughts

Laffey: Nimi...?

Z-23: Ja?

Laffey: You want commander as well.

Author: No I didn't forget the grammar, she is lazily talking, again.

Z-23: **sighs** I think Bismarck will want him after all.

Laffey: Why don't we lure him to us. I can use my sleepy mood to lure him closer to me over time, then, I can grab him and maybe Chloroform him or use tranquilizer darts.

Z-23: That is a great plan Laffey, but not for now, I want to study that boy that is around the Kommandant. He could be useful, but he is in the way.

Laffey: Okay. **yawns** I could also use my sleepy mood to know more about the commander. I could figure out schedules and who he trusts the most. Say, who is secretary?

Z-23: Um, Kawakaze was called back to the mainland of the Sakura Empire after a failed assassination on Shiranui, the assassin herself was killed. They feared that their flagships would be targeted next, and since Kawakaze is their bodyguard, she was recalled to the mainland to protect them. Shiranui just arrived today with her daughter. She is the Kommandant's new secretary. I have my ways of getting information from people.

Laffey: **yawns** ...okay. Who else is here?

Z-23: Um, Akagi, her sister Kaga, Akagi's daughter, Akagi-chan, Taihou, who tried to kill the Kommandant's assistant but failed to do so, Taihou's daughter, Taihou-chan, Akashi, that scam cat already chased the Kommandant in the eve of night, Shiranui, the Kommandant's new secretary, and her daughter, Shiranui-chan. **looks at Laffey** Hey! Are you even listening!?!?

Laffey: Yes I was.

Z-23: Then repeat what I just said!

Laffey: **yawns** Okay. **inhales** Um, Akagi, her sister Kaga, Akagi's daughter, Akagi-chan, Taihou, who tried to kill the Kommandant's assistant but failed to do so, Taihou's daughter, Taihou-chan, Akashi, that scam cat has already chased the Kommandant in the eve of night because she couldn't handle her Yandere feelings for the Kommandant, Shiranui, the Kommandant's new secretary, and her daughter, Shiranui-chan. **looks at Laffey** Hey! Are you even listening!?!?

Narrator: Laffey imitates Z-23's voice as she repeats everything she said.

Z-23: Huh, I am actually impressed for once from a girl that sleeps all day. We will take our time to find more information on the Kommandant and his assistant.

Narrator: After Laffey takes about five minutes to read the paper completely, she hands it back to Z-23.

Narrator: She takes a shower herself and then lays down in the bed.

Shiranui: **lays down in the bed**

Shiranui's Thoughts

When I arrived, I thought things were going to be out of control. But I was proven wrong for the time being. **yawns** Although, when I first saw the commander's assistant, I felt my heart a skip a beat for some reason. I'm sure it's nothing. Besides, it is getting late, and I have to get up early tomorrow to do my secretary duties.

Shiranui-chan: Okay.
