As far as I know, Washington and South Dakota are battleships. Nothing I've been though before. As Jintsuu and I returned back to my office, I sat down and thought of what to do. As I sat down I decided that I would construct new ships with the remaining wisdom cubes I have left. I was only able to do three. One of them lasts for 4 hours and 50 minutes, what a pain. Enterprise is probably trying to make this a hell journey for me. I will prevail though, I won't go without a fight.

Jintsuu came to my office, later on, to inform me about some news.

Jintsuu: HQ is back with some papers for you.

Minato: *sign* Let's get this over with then.

Atago arrived to visit a few minutes later.

Jintsuu: I'll be getting the papers, be right back.

Jintsuu left the office, Atago looked at my eyes. Both of our eyes look at one another's.

Atago: Commander, when I first met you, you looked so cute.

Minato: Thanks? I guess...?

Atago licked her lips and kept staring at me.

Atago: Ara ara~ Your eyes are so beautiful. It's like an ocean.

Minato: And your appearance... is... cute...?

I didn't know what to say so I just said what came to my mind.

Atago: Aww, thanks.

Jintsuu came back with some papers. It looked it was half stacked.

Jintsuu looked at Atago disgusted.

Jintsuu: What's with her?

Minato: I don't know.

Jintsuu: There are two new ships waiting for you. One came from construction.

Minato: Alright, just tell them I'll be there in a few minutes.

I started on the paperwork and I listened to Mass Destruction while Atago was looking at me work. While I was working on my work, Akagi and Kaga came to see me.

Akagi: Commander~ Akagi is here for you~

Minato: Thanks... I have work to do though.

Kaga: You're cute when you work hard, Commander.

Minato: Thanks...?

Akagi: Just visiting you, husbando. Fate put us together, this time it's real. Akagi loves you~

Minato: Yeah... I also... l-love you...?

Akagi and Kaga gave me kisses on my cheek and then both of them headed back to their dorms.

A few moments later

I decided to stop on my work and get up. I headed to the construction docks. I saw in the distance, there were two girls sitting on a bench. I approached them, without any weapons since I forgot to tell Atago about my gun and sword.

Washington: Hello Commander.

She smiled at me.

South Dakota: South Dakota, I'm ready to protect and take care of you for now on.

Minato: I can defend myself thank you very much.

Washington: Commander, why don't you smile?

I looked at Washington.

Minato: Who cares?

Washington: I care for you to smile...

Minato: Whatever, I'll be with my secretary for a while now.

Washington: Don't leave us, I want to play~

Minato: Play? Play what...

Washington: Play with me Commander~

Minato: *sign* I have work to do anyway.

Washington: Play with me all you want... I'm yours.

Minato: Not right now, how about later?

Washington: Don't forget about it my love~

South Dakota: I'll be with you at all times.

Minato: *sign* since you're not going to do anything because I can defend myself... you can come with me I suppose.

I headed to my office with South Dakota following me. I heard a noise, it sounded it came from Washington. I couldn't hear it since I was listening to music but whatever.

Washington: Commander doesn't smile at all? Well, I'll force him to smile with me as a happy couple. Hehehehehe~ HEHEHEHE!

???: Hmmm... this place sure is weird... this bush is big enough to hide me. I have to find him though. Without being seen....

A few minutes later

I arrived at my office to find Atago sleeping like a cat. South Dakota observed my office and looked at my collection of metals I revived, filled with dust and emptiness.

South Dakota: Commander, are concerned with Washington?

Minato: No, not really.

South Dakota: It's okay, I can handle her. I'm glad you choose me to protect you.

Minato: I never did though...

Minato: Anyway Jintsuu is busy and Enterprise is well... Enterprise.

South Dakota: I see, and why are you always with Jintsuu?

Minato: Does it matter?

South Dakota: Just asking. Nothing personal, Commander.

Jintsuu arrived a few minutes later. She looked at me, confused.

Jintsuu: Uh, what's with the new shipgirl?

Minato: You mean Washington?

Jintsuu: Yeah, her.

South Dakota: She's happy to see the commander, that's all.

Jintsuu: She's smiling creepily at me outside.

Minato: *sign* I'll go check. Just wait a moment, South Dakota.

South Dakota: Alright.

I headed outside of my office and I closed the door after leaving.

Washington: Commander~ Is it play time?

Minato: What? No. It's about your smile.

Washington: What about it?

Minato: It's creeping out my secretary. That is why.

Washington: I'm happy to see you, that's all.

Her smile slowly faded.

Washington: Commander, why aren't you smiling?

Minato: I... can't smile. I don't care anyway...

Washington: Come on, smile with me!

I shook my head in denial.

Minato: Look... I can't... just accept it.

Washington: *laughs* You're so silly Commander, no one wants a commander like you.

Minato: Explains why I've been toss out multiple times...

She then came on me which opened the door, the door busted and we both fell on the ground with her on top of me.

Washington: Smile... for me, please?

South Dakota: Sis, get a hold of yourself!

South Dakota came to protect me, I denied but she hesitates and wraps her arm near my chest.

South Dakota: Washington, what's up with you?

Washington: Commander is not smiling.

Minato: Does it matter though...

Washington: Commander! Smiling is good for you!

South Dakota: Get away from the commander, he's mine.

Minato: Wait, what.

She looked at me with her eyes.

South Dakota: Eyes on me Commander.

It's not like I was looking anywhere else...

South Dakota: Don't worry about Washington, you're mine and I will always take care of you...

Minato: Yeah whatever, I'm not smiling.

Washington's smile faded and turned into an evil sinister grin.

Washington: No, he's mine to keep. I will force him to smile with me. We will become a happy couple~

I got back up from South Dakota.

Minato: I may not have anything to defend myself, but my two weapons are my brain and fists. I won't hesitate to fight you shipgirls.

Washington: *blushes* You want to play commander?

South Dakota pulled out handcuffs.

Washington: I want to play all night~

South Dakota: I'll use these, so you won't run away.

South Dakota: Maybe we can use this so the three of us can have some fun~

I then saw a tall figure in the background. It wasn't a shipgirl. It looks like a guy. He has black hair... wait... it can't be... Akira?!

Akira: I'll reveal your true form!

Washington & South Dakota: Huh?

The two Shipgirls turned around and were shot with tranquilizers by Akira. They collapsed and fell in the floor.

Akira: Wow Minato! You sure are lucky with these girls.

Minato: Wha... how... I have so many questions...

Akira: Go ahead ask!

Minato: How did you tranquilize them?

Akira: Oh, I 'borrowed' Akechi's tranquilizers and just put it in this gun.

Minato: How did you make it to this world?

Akira: Short story; Ryuji told me about Azur Lane, I teleported to the world, everyone was nice and friendly, they all got along, I'm not married to anyone cause I find them all equal, I went to the velvet room, Igor told me about you, he made me come here, and that's what's going on now.

Jintsuu: Um... Minato?

Minato: Oh yeah... this is Jintsuu.

Jintsuu: Who is this guy?

Minato: This is Akira... he's from my universe but not really.

Akira: Greetings, Jintsuu.

Jintsuu: Oh wow, he sure is taller than you.

Minato: Whatever...

Suddenly Akira got me from behind.

Minato: W-what? Stop... A-Akira...

Akira: Haha, she's not lying though!

Jintsuu: Heh, you two seem close.

Minato: W-We're not...!

Akira: It's fine Minato... I'm just here to be with you. Nothing wrong with two bros together.

Minato: The way you put it sounds weird...

Akira: I didn't mean to.

Jintsuu: What should we do with these two girls?

Minato: Okay... that sounds weird.

Minato: How about we take them to their dorms?

Akira & Jintsuu: Alright.

Akira picked up South Dakota and I picked up Washington.

Minato: Lead the way Jintsuu.

We carried Washington and South Dakota back to their dorms respectively. Well then, two down.

I was then suddenly surprised by Akira.

Minato: Wha? What are you doing Akira?

Akira: We won! As I like to celebrate by running in circles!

Minato: Oh geez...
