We only killed one Ironblood shipgirl, hopefully it stays that way. The girls from that faction are sure different from the ones I experienced. After the battle against Roon, Akira returned to normal after the medicine Atago gave him in the fight.

Minato: Well, we won. I guess.

Akira: *pant* Yep... phew... I'm beat.

Jintsuu : We aren't completely done.

Akira: Yeah... I should prepare for whoever comes next.

Takao: So, who will be next?

Minato: No clue. I guess it depends who I construct or get from a drop.

Takao looked at me and scratched her head.

Minato: I might do another construction and probably grind a bit. However... after being forced to oath those girls, it made my life harder than it was before.

Enterprise: What do you mean, Minato?

Jintsuu: He's oathed to 10+ shipgirls. Being oathed forces him to check on them.

Minato: Yeah I have to visit them all... *sigh* just when I thought life could've been slightly better...

Takao: I guess you should hurry up. You don't want to upset them.

Minato: I suppose...

Takao: Well, we'll take Roon to Akashi.

Minato: Alright, bye.

I left the docks and headed inside. The first girl or girls I should say, would be Akagi and Kaga.

I walked up to their dorm room and knocked on the door.

Akagi: Greeting, my Commander~

Minato: Hey. Uh, how are you and Kaga?

Akagi: We're doing fine, you?

Minato: I suppose I can be better.

Kaga: I made you some chocolates, Commander. I hope you accept them...

It's weird that I was given chocolate since it's not Valentine's Day, but hey it's chocolate might as well.

Akagi: Anything else you need Commander? Me and Kaga will going out of town to get some weapons.

Minato: Weapons? Why do you need weapons?

Kaga: I scent there will be trouble in the future... we must be prepared for the inevitable.

Minato: Well, I'll be going now.

Akagi: Take care, Commander~

I left and headed to the next girl. Hmm... this might be a long process...

A Few Hours Later

After many minutes wasted by spending time with girls and doing their needs and also getting a heck ton of chocolates, I was able to construct two ships. I waited a while and Takao came to visit me. Her face doesn't seem to be happy, then again I'm no different.

Takao: Any sorties that require me... uh... why do you have so many chocolates?

Minato: I visited all of my 'oathed shipsgirls' and I received a chocolate by all of them...

Takao: But it's not Valentine's Day?

Minato: I know. Anyway...

I looked at my papers.

Minato: Yeah, you're going with Jintsuu, Atago, Akira, Kaga, and Akagi.

Takao: Minato? I've been wondering... why do you let Akira in sorties? He's not a ship.

Akira: He may not be a ship but is definitely stronger than one.

Takao: Yeah... I guess you do have a point. He did almost kill Nagato and Mutsu...

Minato: Besides, he'll get stronger too.

Takao: Well, leave it to me Minato. Won't let you down.

I nodded my head.

Takao left my office with her weapons equipped. Enterprise came later with some news for me.

Enterprise: Minato, someone wants to meet you at the docks.

Minato: *sigh* Probably is another German ship...

Enterprise: You might be right...

Minato: You feeling okay? I don't mind you taking a break right now.

Enterprise: Y-Yeah... I am kinda tired... *yawn* I'm going to my dorm.

Enterprise left my office. I left my office as well and headed to the docks. I was walking to the docks with my hands in my pockets. As I was walking to the docks, I heard footsteps coming from behind me. I heard the footsteps getting louder, I then heard a little girl's voice.

???: It's you father!

Minato: Eh? Father?

The girl was hugging my leg.

I then saw another female. I bet a lot of people would first look at her... you know... but I looked at the weird robot parts she is sitting on. I then got out my Lucifer's Blade in case.

???: Nice blade, father. Um, what's with the gun?

She was looking at my pouch I have my Evoker in.

Minato: It's an evoker, it is similar to a gun.

???: Evoker...? What's that, father?

Minato: It is a 'gun', that when I put it to my head and pull the trigger... I summon this thing called a 'Persona' that gives me more strength.

???: Wa! I-I don't want you to die!

Minato: I... don't die. It's not a real gun. However, I do have a real gun in my second pouch.

Minato: Anyways, who are you?

Zeppy: Oh, my bad *giggles* I'm Zeppy. The daughter of the legendary Graf Zeppelin!

Minato: ...Graf Zeppelin? Is that the shipgirl over there?

I pointed at the shipgirl with my blade.

Zeppy: Yep! That's my mother! Aaaannnndddd you're my father!

Minato: *sigh* I'm not a father.

The shipgirl in the distance then approached me.

Graf Zeppelin: You're the Commander? I'm Graf Zeppelin. I see you met our daughter. Since it appears that all the conditions have met, let us commence the final movement.

Minato: I'm confused.

Graf Zeppelin: ...It's my destiny to accomplish Zeppy's wish, lay death, and destruction on pathetic pests.

Minato: Hmm... death and destruction... reminds me of the Death Arcana and Mass Destruction.

Zeppy: You should dye your hair to match our hair, father!

Minato: I'm not dying my hair to whatever color your hair is...

Zeppy was still hugging my leg while Graf Zeppelin was staring at me.

Minato: Why is your daughter still hugging my leg?

Graf Zeppelin: My daughter? I think you mean our daughter.

Minato: She's not my daughter.

Graf Zeppelin: Don't think of running away. We have to begin the symphony of destruction together. Just you and me...

Zeppy then let go of my leg.

Zeppy: *sniff* Father! Please don't leave mommy! I won't be happy if you do! I love you!!

Minato: *facepalm*

Zeppy: Father? Are you okay...?

Minato: ...I... don't know... I just feel... this empty void inside of me... I guess I never felt this before... Ugh, just... stop calling me father, okay?

Zeppy: But you can be my father! You can marry mother!

Minato: Er... I just met her and plus I don't really care for marriage.

Graf Zeppelin: Explain that ring on your hand then.

Minato: This? I was forced to marry 10+ shipgirls...

Graf Zeppelin: Pssh... yeah you probably oathed them so you can get better stats...

Minato: Hm... I did forget oathing girls makes them slightly stronger...

Graf Zeppelin: Commander, you look capable of being my love for the rest of our lives...

Minato: I... I just met you.

Zeppy: Father can I show you this drawing I made?

Zeppy handed me a piece of paper and I flipped it to see the drawing.

Zeppy's 'Drawing':

The picture seems to be Zeppy, Graf Zeppelin, and me together as if we were some family.

Minato: That sure is something.

Zeppy: D-Do... you like it...?

As I was going to give my answer, Graf Zeppelin was staring at me.

Minato: It looks great...

Graf Zeppelin: Commander. I would like to test your strength. You are different than an average commander, yes?

Minato: Yeah? I guess?

Graf Zeppelin: Walk back.

I walked backwards.

Minato: Is this fine?

Graf Zeppelin: More.

Minato: ?

Graf Zeppelin: Little more.

At this point I shouted.

Minato: IS THIS GOOD?

Graf Zeppelin: YES.

Graf Zeppelin: Very well, Zeppy? Are you ready to test your father's strength?

Zeppy: Yes. We won't hurt him too bad... right?

Graf Zeppelin: Of course not. If I see him weeping and crying I suppose I'll stop.

I saw the two talking but I couldn't really hear them. I got my Evoker ready.

Minato: I'm prepared...

They both sent out planes flying towards me. Hm... are they trying to trick me? Well... I guess even if it is, I'll try my best.

Minato: Orpheus Telos!

I pointed my Evoker to my head and pulled the trigger.

Zeppy: Woah. Father just shot himself...?

Graf Zeppelin: Interesting...

As the planes got closer I used Aeon Rain, a move that attacks all enemies.

Minato: Aeon Rain...

The move destroyed all the planes in one blow.

Zeppy: W-Woah... that... that thing next to father... is that what he explained was his... Per...sohh.. nah?

Graf Zeppelin: It is. This is one interesting male...

A few minutes later

After many rounds of the planes attempting to attack me, they failed. After that, they both stopped. I decided to walk over to them.

Zeppy: *pant* Heh, you're stronger father!

Graf Zeppelin: Ahaha... you are stronger than I expected... I like that...

Minato: Are we done?

Graf Zeppelin: Yes, you proven yourself that you can be with me forever~

Minato: Um... okay?

Zeppy: Mother? Can I spend some time with father?

Graf Zeppelin: Of course you can, dear.

Zeppy then ran to me. Graf Zeppelin then headed inside to have lunch.

Minato: Um, why do you want to come with me? Shouldn't you be with your mother?

Zeppy: I want to be with you father!

Minato: *whispers* still calling me father... *sigh*

Minato: Fine... where do you want to go?

Zeppy: Hm... I have a lot planned!

Minato: Hoo... boy...

Three hours later

After spending some 'Father and Daughter time', we headed inside. I took Zeppy to the play area, she played with some of the destroyer girls. No Ark Royal. We had lunch together, a lot of things she considered fun. For me... I was tired and sleepy.

Minato: *yawn* I can't believe I'm letting you ride on my back... just don't accidentally kick my face... *yawn*

Zeppy: Father... y..you... seem... tired.... zzz...

She laid her face on my head.

Minato: *sigh*

As I walking, I encountered Akira.

Akira: Minato?

Minato: Oh hey.

Akira: Why is there a girl sleeping on your head?

Minato: She thinks I'm her father.

Akira: Oh. Anyway, I was the MVP in the sortie! I'm cool.

Minato: Good for you.

Minato: Have you seen Jintsuu by any chance?

Akira: She went to buy weapons.

Minato: Why weapons?

Akira: I guess she's preparing for something.

Akira: Well it's getting late. I'm going to make me some curry.

Minato: Alright, I'm going to put this kiddo to her dorm.

Akira: Peace.

We went our own ways. I walked to an available dorm and carefully placed Zeppy on the bed.

Minato: Wow... she's definitely tired after all that. Well, night Zeppy.

I closed the dorm room and left. I headed to my dorm as well and called it a day.

Later that night

I was sleeping peacefully until I was disturbed by someone's voice. I opened my eyes and saw Graf Zeppelin on top of me. She barley had any clothes on.

Minato: What the hell are you doing?

Graf Zeppelin: Ahaha... you're strong... you're useful...

Graf Zeppelin then came closer to my ear and whispered.

Graf Zeppelin: Commander~ Lets have some fun... and we can give Zeppy a sibling... ahahaha~

Minato: You're crazy. I told you already. She's not my daughter.

Graf Zeppelin: We can change that~

Minato: Just no.

Graf Zeppelin: Just behave and I'll make you have a great night...

Minato: Where's Zeppy?

Graf Zeppelin: She's sleeping. Why? Ahaha... you care for her. Don't you?

Minato: ...

Graf Zeppelin: Think about it... if you and me were together... we'd be unstoppable. We will always win!

Minato: With your current personality, it would just be teaming up with a weakling.

Graf Zeppelin then looked at me. Her pupils shrank, she snapped. She then pulled a knife out of no where. She started laughing insanely.

Graf Zeppelin: AHAHA!! Me? USELESS?!?! Ahahahahah! If I can't have you.... NO ONE CAN!

My door then swung opened.

Akira: You're mine!

Akira shot a tranquilizer, like the one he shot at Tirpitz, and hit Graf Zeppelin, with her falling on top of me. My face was covered in her marshmallows. *sigh*

Akira: You okay, Minato?

Minato: *muffled* No.

I moved Graf Zeppelin away from me and looked at Akira.

Minato: Thanks for saving me.

Akira: I heard some girl yelling so I came here.

Minato: Oh.

Akira: Anyways, why is she half naked?

Minato: She wanted us to do something together.

Akira: You should've done it...

Minato: What.

Akira: Hey it's dark. I'll let you sleep.

Minato: What about her???

Akira: She'll wake up tomorrow late. She won't wake up when you wake up. If that makes sense.

Minato: I guess I'll trust you.

Akira left my dorm and closed the door.

I went back to sleep with Graf Zeppelin still on my bed unconscious. Well, at least Zeppy was semi-normal.
