After putting Akira in the hallways, after he 'snapped' and him almost killing both Nagato and Mutsu, we started preparing for the Ironblood. One good thing that came out of this, is that both Nagato and Mutsu are willing to help us against the Ironblood.

I'm expecting to get two shipgirls, one from an exchange and one from construction. Once Akira wakes up, I'm sure he'll be back to normal. If not... he'll be targeting Nagato and Mutsu. He definitely won't rest until he kills them. I suppose I'll have to protect them... Akira is my friend... but I have to protect my Kamerad's... wives...? I'm not sure how that works but then again, I was forced to marry 10+ shipgirls...

I went to my office and decided to work on paperwork HQ left for me. After a while, Belfast showed up with a tray of breakfast.

Minato: Belfast? What are you doing here?

Belfast: Checking on my master and serving you breakfast. That's all~

Minato: *sign* I forgot you still call me that...

Belfast: Here, I'll put it on the side of your desk.

Minato: You didn't put anything in it... right?

Belfast: Of course not, master. After all, you are oathed to me... so no need for that~

Minato: *sign* Don't bring it up...

Belfast got closer to me and gave me a smooch on the lips when I wasn't expecting it.

Minato: Mm!? (Did she really just do that?!)

Belfast: Mmm~ (I love you, master~)

After a few minutes of her smooching me, she let me go.

Minato: ...Was that necessary...

Belfast: Fufufu~ Just showing my love for you~

Belfast: Well, goodbye master~

Minato: *sign* Bye... I guess.

Belfast left my office. The breakfast actually looks good. I grabbed my fork and knife, I cut the pancakes in half and ate one piece of it. Hm... it is pretty good not gonna lie. I then heard a knock on my door.

Minato: Come in.

The door opened revealing Jintsuu.

Jintsuu: Hello, Minato.

Minato: *takes bite out of pancake*

Jintsuu: Oh, you're eating. Well... I came here to talk about the Ironblood faction.

As I finished eating my first pancake, I looked at Jintsuu.

Minato: What about them?

Jintsuu: I'm starting to think that knocking them out with tranquilizers won't be effective. Ironblood shipgirls are crazy. One mistake and you're done.

Minato: I think we can handle them. Once Akira is back to normal... he would be our wildcard, they definitely won't see it coming.

Jintsuu: Yeah, I guess... however, not to be rude but... don't you think we shouldn't rely that much on Akira?

Minato: I know. That's why I plan on going to the Velvet Room to get some stronger Personas so I won't just use Thanatos all the time.

Jintsuu: A what room?

Minato: It's... something from my world. It's hard to explain.

Jintsuu: Oh, as I was saying. We probably have to fight them... Nagato and Mutsu agreed to join us, right?

Minato: Yes, they're currently resting in their dorm.

Jintsuu: What "Personas" are you bringing...?

Jintsuu looked at me with confusion.

Minato: I'll bring... Satan, Lucifer, Orpheus Telos, and Ananta. I'll also be changing my Mother Saber. I'll be using the weapon "Lucifer's Blade", it's very strong.

Jintsuu: I don't really know what that means but I hope you can do it!

Minato: Yeah... that's what people say when they have no clue of what Persona or Shin Megami Tensei is... thanks...

Jintsuu then left my office. I finished up my breakfast and finished up some work. After that I headed to the velvet room, a place only I can see.

One hour later

After many attempts of trying to fuse personas to get the personas I wanted, I finally done it. I also got the weapon, Lucifer's Blade.

As I left the Velvet Room, I decided to check on Enterprise since I haven't seen her in a hot minute.

I knocked on Enterprise's door.

Enterprise: Who...?

It was nice to finally hear Enterprise answering the door instead of just opening it.

Minato: It's me.

Enterprise: Oh, Commander!

Enterprise unlocked her door and opened it.

Enterprise: Hello Commander, how can I help?

Minato: You sure seem happy.

Enterprise: It... it was thanks to you that I can be strong and happy.

Enterprise started blushing, it was... it was cute...

Enterprise: Is that a new weapon you have?

Minato: Yep, it's called Lucifer's Blade.

Enterprise: Why did you change weapon?

Minato: *sign* Ironblood... they're coming.

Enterprise: Oh...

Minato: Don't worry... I'll protect you...

Enterprise: T-Thanks... Commander. Anyway, who will we be encountering?

Minato: I have no clue. All I know is that one is from construction and the other is because I used my points from an event to get that ship.

Enterprise: How long is the construction?

Minato: I think it's six hours.

Enterprise: That sure is a long amount of time...

Enterprise: When did you start it?

Minato: Like an hour ago.

I suddenly saw something outside. Enterprise also seem to have spotted someone too.

Minato: *whispers to Enterprise* You hear something outside?

Enterprise: *whispers back* It sounds like two girls...

It was easy to hear the girls talking since it was quiet outside.

???: Where's the Commander, sis?

???: I don't know. Perhaps he is scared to see us.

Enterprise: *whispers* You don't look scared.

Minato: *whispers back* Cause I don't feel scared.

???: I heard this Commander is very different from other Commanders.

???: How so, sis?

???: Well... one he doesn't waste currency for skins/outfits for shipgirls... second he doesn't show much emotion like other commanders... three he has a different way of fighting... basically he's very different.

???: That makes me want to find him even more.

I peeked at the window and saw a blonde girl walking around. I saw another girl standing there, but I couldn't see her completely. I think she saw me. Enterprise looked at me.

Enterprise: Drats, she knows where you're at.

Minato: Perhaps.

I took another peak and a white haired shipgirl walked towards me. The shipgirl came closer and closer to the window.

Enterprise: What do we do?

The shipgirl made it to my window. I decided to lift up the window.

???: There you are Commander.

Minato: And you are?

Tirpitz: Tirpitz, "Lonely Queen of the North". I don't really remember anything when I came here. Hm... those clothes are very different then what a Commander would wear. You sure you're the Commander?

Minato: Hundred percent. You should probably come to my office, you know? It's weird talking though the window, like if I'm some fast food worker.

Tirpitz: My bad.

She left the window and headed to my office. I need to head to my office before she does because I'm in Enterprise's room, not my office.

Enterprise: She sounded serious. Commander, you need to be careful. I don't know what I'll do if something happened to you...

Minato: I'll be fine. If you want, you can join me.

Enterprise: Thanks, Commander.

We left her dorm and headed to my office before Tirpitz could make it in time.

Minato: You know... I've been thinking, Enterprise...

Enterprise looked at me as we were walking.

Enterprise: What is it, Commander?

Minato: Would... would you like to be my 3rd Secretary...? Or once again have your role as protecting me? Well it'll probably be vise versa...

Enterprise: I think we have grown stronger together, I think I can be your 3rd Secretary... Commander.

Minato: Would you like to call me Commander or Minato?

Enterprise: I'll call you Minato, when it's just you and me. I have a lot of respect for you. You did spare my life after all.

I feel like my bond with Enterprise has grown even stronger.

As we got to my office we saw Tirpitz already in my office.

Tirpitz: Hmph, I thought I'd take longer since I have to walk from outside to your office. But it appears I came first before you. What were you doing that made you take so long?

Tirpitz's face looked serious.

Minato: I... I got lost.

Tirpitz: Lies, you know this place. You were just with that  girl...

Tirpitz pointed at Enterprise. She looked at her disgusted.

Enterprise: I... I was helping the Commander... to find his friend! Yeah, that's it.

Tirpitz: Finding his friend... pssh... that's the best lie you can come up with?

Tirpitz: Hmph, anyway... My sister Bismarck and I, came from a long trip.

Damn I kinda don't care... I wasn't paying attention to anything Tirpitz was saying and I was just looking at her ships with fangs, it confused me of how that's possible.

Tirpitz: Commander? Hm? Did these get your attention?

Minato: Uh, yeah. I guess.

Tirpitz: Just ignore them.

I don't know why but the ships with fangs started growling at me.

Tirpitz: I assume Hood is here, correct?

Minato: Yes, why's that?

Tirpitz: *whispers* So we can make her disappear once again...

Minato: What?

Tirpitz: Nothing, anyway... that girl next to you is Enterprise, correct?

Minato: Yeah, she's my secretary.

Enterprise: Hello... Tirpitz...

Tirpitz: You're not dating her... right?

Minato: Not yet.

???: What was that?

I turned around and it appears to be a blonde shipgirl.

???: Found you...

She was taking deep breathes.

Minato: You're Bismarck, correct?

Bismarck: Correct, you are a good hider as well...

Minato: Hider?

Tirpitz: She plays those childish games...

Bismarck: It's fun though!

Minato: I didn't know I was playing.

Tirpitz: Anyway, we'll be leaving. For now.

Minato: Ok?

They both left my office but I then heard Bismarck whisper somthing.

Bismarck: *whispering* I'll find you again, you will be mine and we can have some fun together...

Enterprise then looked at me concerned.

Enterprise: Minato, how do you feel when these types of girls act... weird with you? Or just have an obsession with you? You don't seem like the sissy type.

Minato: Well... I'm fairly calm and passive, in the past I may have seemed like a person who wants to kill others but, I don't really feel like killing... only when I have to. (The only shipgirl I did kill was Amagi... I wonder if Akagi knows...)

Minato: I might not look like it but I'm sometimes drowsy or tired. I sometimes only talk when I'm addressed... so basically when someone starts the conversation. I'm not really the guy to talk much... only with people I feel comfortable with... like you...

Enterprise: O-Oh... M-Minato... um, when you said drowsy or tired... you reminded me of Laffey.

Minato: Well, I did pick her as my starter ship since she is kinda like me.

Enterprise: That's nice.

Minato: Is it fine if I go check on Takao? I haven't checked on her for a while.

Enterprise: Yes, go ahead Minato. I'll start my duty as your secretary!

Minato: Well see ya soon.

Enterprise: You too commander!

Enterprise gave me a hug and I hugged her back.

Timeskip

As I was walking in the hallways I heard footsteps behind me.

I got out my Lucifer's Blade.

Tirpitz: Visiting another girl instead of me, huh?

Minato: Well... yeah, I guess.

Tirpitz: I see... hmph, you spend to much time with that Enterprise... she's a lover thief...

I looked at Tirpitz.

Minato: Did you do something to her?

Tirpitz: I told her to get away from you.

Minato: You little...

Tirpitz: You see Commander, she was nothing but a pest for you. I don't want you to leave me here. You will like us Ironblood girls. Forget the Eagle Union... join us~

She started tugging on my arm and making me try to come with her.

Minato: I have a blade in my hand and I won't hesitate to use it.

She let go.

Tirpitz: Hmph, I wouldn't mind having to hurt you for love...

She charged at me with her flag spear weapon. My weapon is so powerful that it snapped her spear in half.

Tirpitz: Wha...?!

Minato: Just let me visit who I want to visit.

Tirpitz: Never! You're staying with me!

I think she snapped. She then used the broken spear and used them both as if they were swords. I managed to knock both of them out of her hands.

Minato: Had enough already?

Tirpitz: Ha... this... is just the beginning...

I was then attacked from behind. These Ironblood girls sure are tricky, I must take note of this.

Bismarck: Found you, Commander~

She grabbed me tightly and lifted me up. I could feel her two things on my back. I dropped my blade.

Bismarck: Finally got you where I want you to be!

Minato: Ugh... you'll pay for this...!

I then heard a gun noise. I saw Tirpitz fall on the floor, unconsious. Bismarck then let go of me.

Minato: Akira?!

Akira: I'm not late.

Akira was staring at Bismarck, Nagato and Mutsu were behind him. Bismarck then pointed her cannons at Akira.

Akira: Nagato... Mutsu... help Minato. I'll take care of Bismarck...

Nagato & Mutsu: Yes, Akira!

They both rushed to me to see if I'm okay.

Nagato: Commander? Are you okay?

Minato: Yeah, I wasn't hurt though.

Mutsu: Commander, here is your weapon.

Mutsu handed me my weapon.

Bismarck: You... you'll pay for what you have done! With you're blood!

Bismarck fired on Akira.

Bismarck: Ahahaha... DIIIEEE!!!

Bismarck was watching Akira who was on the floor. Akira then got up.

Akira: Call an ambulance, call an ambulance.... but not for me!

Akira then shot Bismarck on the foot, making her fall on the floor.

Akira: Your turn, Hood!

Bismarck: Ow... H-Hood!?

Hood: Thank you, Joker...

Minato: You're getting revenge on Bismarck? Hood?

Hood: Indeed... I'll teach Bismarck a lesson.

Bismarck: Noooooo!!!!

She dragged Bismarck away. I then saw Nagato and Mutsu return to Akira.

Minato: You three seem like best friends.

Nagato: You bet!

Mutsu: Akira-kun told us he'll help us become even stronger than before!

Minato: So, that medicine wore off?

Akira: Yep, I apologized a lot to them for almost killing them. I made them tea, curry... a lot of things to have them forgive me. Now we're friends.

Mutsu: Haha, you didn't have to do all that, Akira-kun.

Nagato: It's getting late, Mutsu-nee.

Minato: Well that's good to hear. So... what do we do about Tirpitz?

Akira: Huh... I don't know... oh well. I guess she didn't see it coming.

Minato: Wait she's dead?

Akira: No. I just used a really strong tranquilizer. If I killed her... someone who has Tirpitz as their waifu would get mad. You know?

Minato: Stop breaking the 4th wall...
