*Philippine Sea

*Evan POV

As I staggered around, trying to reach the bridge of my Charles De Gaulle, my Communications Keypad began buzzing in my pocket. I took it out, opened it and saw that Admiral Kenneth is trying to contact me. I tapped some of the buttons on one of the screens and accepted the call

Kenneth: Evan. Are you alright? You used Ryuusei No Bifrost to finish off Roon.

Evan: I'm fine. Just feeling a little dizzy

Kenneth: Understood. once you get back to your base, rest well

Evan: Roger

Kenneth: For now, get your fleet back to your base. Jabir, Mashkur and I are now going back to our respective bases

Evan: Roger

Admiral Kenneth ended the call and I continued making my way to the bridge. Once I arrived, I picked up my jet caliber to communicate with my shipgirls

Evan: Everyone return to base. There's nothing much to do here now

Evan's Shipgirls: Roger!

We reversed our course and started heading back to our base. Meanwhile, I headed into the Admiral's Quarters to rest

Shinano: Hello again Evan

Evan: ah Shinano

Shinano: congratulations on your victory

Evan: Thanks. So is Roon permanently gone? I did finish her off with Ryuusei No Bifrost

Shinano: yes

Evan: Yatta!

Shinano: However, the Centipede King is making his move as we speak

Evan: Him? What is Royston Up to this time?

Shinano: He is looking for something called the Crown of Holy See

Evan: Crown of Holy See...

Shinano: It's a Legendary Artifact related to the Iris Orthodoxy that has the potential to destroy both the Iris libre and Vichya Dominion should it fall to the wrong hands

Evan: Oh no! Where is this Crown of Holy See then? We need to protect it from Royston and his siren goons

Shinano: That even I don't know. However, some of the Iris and Vichya girls back at base may know something

Evan: Dammit. Well at least we have some leads on where this Crown of Holy See is so that we can thwart Royston's plans for acquiring it

Shinano: Fortunately, there's no need to rush because I foresaw Royston failing in his quest

Evan: Haha. That's good to hear

Shinano: and you have the element of surprise because Royston Still doesn't know you're still alive

Evan: Yosh

Shinano: I believe it's time for you to go back to your world now Evan. See you next time

Evan: Bye Shinano

I managed to say goodbye to Shinano before I woke up in the Admiral's Quarters of my Charles De Gaulle and found out that we had arrived at my base. I Grabbed my belongings and left the Charles De Gaulle as it made its way into the underground port for repairs

Evan: I better prepare for the upcoming battle against Royston. I have a feeling I'll be meeting him soon

I hurried back into my office to work on my projects, most notably either a retrofit for Valiant or new guns for her. I also need to give Nepgear the blueprints of the Nimitz so that she can help out with the repairs

Evan (Thoughts): I believe Shiranui sells one set of the Richelieu class main guns per month

In his office, Kenneth picked up the phone at his desk and started dialing a number

Kenneth: Hello? Yes, I would like to order a few sets of Iris and Sardegna male Service Dress uniforms for one of my subordinates

*Philippine Sea

*Third Person POV

Back at the Philippine Sea, Roon's dead body was drifting around before it was picked up by a Humanoid Siren

Humanoid Siren: Grand Admiral. Here you go

The Humanoid Siren placed the dead body in front of Royston who is standing on the flight deck of his Queen Class Siren Production Carrier

Royston: Good

Royston then turned to the zombified Richelieu Corpse he reanimated beside him and frowned

Royston: as for you

Royston opened his centipede tome and impaled the zombified Richelieu corpse with a centipede leg, killing her "again"

Royston: Okay. Rape you next week

He then kicked the Richelieu corpse away and it flew to the other end of the Queen Class Siren Production Carrier

Royston: Out of my way trash!

Royston made his way to the bridge of his siren production carrier and the siren task force departed
