*Evan's Azur Lane Base

*Evan POV

Noire: See? This wouldn't have happened if you've just listened to me

Noire scolded me as we were inspecting my severely damaged USS Nimitz in the underground port

Evan: Sorry!!

Akashi: It's okay nya. At least you're still alive, Shikikan. Don't worry, leave the Nimitz to us nya. Believe in our skill

Evan: Hai...

Meanwhile, Nepgear was looking around in awe

Nepgear: Those yellow birds are called Manjuus right

Enterprise: Yep. They help around the base and aboard our ships as well, including Evan's ships like the USS Nimitz here

Nepgear: Speaking of Ships, I did see some other ships around. does Evan command those as well

Enterprise: Yes. In the event that Evan's main ship, which is the Nimitz currently, is under maintenance, Evan will use those ships temporary until his main ship is available

Nepgear: so those ships are like the reserve

Illustrious: you can say that. With the Nimitz out of commission for a while, Evan sama will most likely have to use one of those ships until the Nimitz is available again

Enterprise: Or he can stay behind or use one of our production ships instead

Nepgear: I see. Evan. How about I help out in repairing the Nimitz during our stay here

Evan: But you're not familiar with the layout of the Nimitz

Nepgear: Just give me the blueprints and I'll learn

I looked at Nepgear for a moment

Evan: Alright. I'll take a chance with you. Be careful while repairing the Nimitz, especially the nuclear reactor area. I don't want you to get radioactive poisoning or any form of nuclear illness

Nepgear: I won't let you down Evan

Evan: I'll give you the blueprints later. For now let's move on

*Timeskip

During lunch, I was looking at the mystery carrier while Enterprise, Illustrious, Noire and Nepgear went off to eat

Evan: Iris, Vichya and Sardegna huh

I went back to my office, booted up my laptop and went to order some Iris and Vichya Service Dresses. I selected the sizes and was about to press order when a memory flashed into my mind

Royston: Word Of advice Evan boy. Be more careful about who you choose to associate yourself with in the future. Iris Libre, Vichya Dominion and Sardegna Empire are some of the weakest out there.

Evan: Maybe I need more time to think about it

I shut down my laptop and left my office for lunch when I encountered Valiant along the way

Valiant: ah Evan I was looking for you just now

a manjuu pushing a trolley carrying a cardboard box containing wisdom cubes appeared beside Valiant

Evan: hmm?

Valiant: There is something I wanted to ask you

Valiant reached into the cardboard box and took out two wisdom cubes

Valiant: I actually wanted to see Elizabeth again

Evan: Eh?

Valiant: Can you bring Elizabeth back? I want our unborn daughter to have her aunt with her so please. try to bring Elizabeth back

Evan: Valiant...

I looked at Valiant for a moment before nodding my head

Evan: Wakata. But I have no control over who i manage to construct so there's no guarantee that those wisdom cubes you managed to accumulate will be enough to bring Elizabeth back

Valiant: I understand

we made our way to the dock where we made our way to the end of an empty pier

Evan: Jetto Kariba!

I stuck out my left hand before a faint jet engine sound came out of nowhere before becoming louder until my jet caliber flew into view. I caught it with my left hand before gesturing the manjuu to step forward while pushing the trolley containing the wisdom cubes

Evan: Valiant. Help me throw these wisdom cubes into the water. We're beginning the ceremony right here right now

Valiant: Roger!

The two of us threw all of the wisdom cubes inside the cardboard box into the sea. i began charging my jet caliber with my Reminiscence of The Sea

Evan: A ship that is neither a ship, a human that is neither a human – become the blade that shall strike down our foes. May your minds be etched. May history give you form. May your hulls inherit your essence.

My jet caliber began glowing

Evan: ...Open your eyes to the light of creation!!

I slashed my jet caliber at the wisdom cubes, making them spin around and around in a dazzling halo of blue light

*Enterprise POV

I was having lunch with Illustrious, Noire and Nepgear when i noticed a light becoming brighter and brighter at the dock

Enterprise: Noire, Nepgear. I'm heading to the docks for a moment. it looks like Evan is creating more shipgirls currently

*Evan POV

The light from the cubes began to dissipate and we opened our eyes to see some very unfamiliar looking shipgirls. However, their outfits tell me that they are from Ironblood

???: Heehee, it is you that summoned Emden, isn't it, my darling human? I shall make real your every desire if only you surrender yourself. "Heehee. Submit to Emden. Submit to us

Two shipgirls approached me

Evan (Thoughts): I have a bad feeling about this

Meanwhile, Valiant gripped her blade in case the two shipgirls decided to something funny to me
