(A/N) : Here is the new chapter. The results for the vote is that choice number 2 won the poll 4-3. For those who chooses choice number 1, I'm sorry that you haven't been chosen, but I hope nonetheless that you will enjoy this chapter. Without further ado, let's get back into the story.

Charles P.O.V

Toulon's base, 6:36 P.M

We just arrived to Toulon's base after visiting Azur Lane while I kept Richelieu's secret in mind. I have to start to find intel to finally free them. I also need to bring back Iris Orthodoxy together for my Admiral. But, I have to prepare first for my visit to Crimson Axis. After all, they were quite eager to meet me, but is it really for me or for my power ? Only time will tell. As I go back to the guest bedroom, someone was calling me. I looked around for the source of the voice to find it was Jean Bart who called me.

Jean Bart : There you are ! I was looking for you.

Charles : Well, I am here. What can I do for you ?

Jean Bart : I wanted to share some news with you concerning our visit to Crimson Axis !

Charles : Did something happened ?

Jean Bart : I got a message from Ironblood saying that they will go to Sakura Empire to meet you there. So we're directly going to Sakura Empire instead of visiting both factions. And they want to meet you in 2 days from now on.

Charles : Was there a reason for that change ?

Jean Bart : Well, they had a rendez-vous there, and due to your visit coming, they decided it will gain time for you to meet both factions in the same place.

Charles : Très bien. I shall go back to the dorm to rest to be ready for tomorrow then.

Jean Bart : I shall do the same. À demain.

Charles : À demain.

The next morning, 4:36 A.M, Charles's bedroom

I woke up because I have to prepare myself. I have to be ready for 6:30 A.M to leave for Sakura Empire. As I was putting my shirt, my door slammed open, revealing an energetic girl. I assumed she was sent there to wake me up.

???1 : WAKE UP !!! It's time to- *opens her eyes and see you without a shirt and started blushing madly*

Charles : ...

???1 : ...

Charles : ...

???1 : ...

Charles : *loads LMG with religious intent* DEUS VULT !!!

???1 : WAIT WAIT WAIT !!!

Author : STOP !!! I know you want to take back Jerusalem but this is not the time. We start again.

Take 2

Charles : ...

???1 : ...

Charles : ...

???1 : OH GOSH I'M SORRY !!! I'LL LET YOU GET CHANGED !!! *blush madly before slamming the door closed*

Charles : ... Ok.

After getting changed, I opened the door to see the girl waiting while hiding her face in her hands to hide her embarrassment.

Charles : You can look now.

???1 : Phew. My apologies. I was sent by Jean Bart to wake you up but... well... *mutters* oh my god... so embarrassing to see a man bare chest...

Charles : Can I have your name ?

???1 : HA ! I can't believe I forgot to introduce myself ! I am Vauquelin, a Vauquelin-class Destroyer. I see you are ready. I shall tell Jean Bart, then.

Charles : Très bien. I will wait at the harbour for her.

(Timeskip given to you by the Chibi Kent and Chibi Nevada laughing maniacally for showing up in other Shikikan construction pool)

Harbour of Toulon's base, 6:29 A.M

Still Charles P.O.V

I was waiting for Jean Bart to show up. Speaking of the devil, here she is with Vauquelin and another girl.

Charles : Bonjour les filles.

Jean Bart : Salut. Were you waiting for a long time ?

Charles : I have only been here for 5 minutes. And who is that other girl with you ?

???2 : Huh ? Oh, sorry, I was in my thoughts again. I am Tartu, a Vauquelin-class destroyer.

Charles : Nice to meet you. Shall we go ?

Jean Bart : Yeah, let us get ready.

Vauquelin P.O.V

I still can't believe that I caught him changing himself into his attire. Oh no, just thinking about it makes me flustered. Why can't I forget this ? I was interrupted by Tartu.

Tartu : Why are you red right now ?

Vauquelin : W-w-wh-what d-do y-y-you m-me-mean ?!?! *stutters a lot*

Tartu : Well, your face is really becoming red. Did you saw him naked ?

Vauquelin : W-W-WHAT ?!?! KYAAAAAAAA !!! NOOO !!! I JUST SAW HIM CHANGING WHILE HE HAD HIS CHEST EXPOSED !!! *put her hands on her mouth, realizing what she just said* H-H-HOW COULD YOU MAKE ME SAY THAT ?!?!

Jean Bart : ...How many packs he had ?

Vauquelin : H-h-e h-h-h-has a 6-p-p-pack- KYYYYYYAAAAAA !!! WHY DO YOU MAKE ME SAY THAT ?!?! *runs to her ship faster than JoJo doing NIGERUNDAYO while blushing red of embarrassment*

Jean Bart : Nice. I can't wait to feel his abs.

Tartu : I never knew you were that bold.

Jean Bart : *realizing what she said* I-I-I mean... *sighs*... just let us go to Sakura Empire... we can't waste more time.

Tartu : Very well.

Jean Bart P.O.V

I can't believe I'm going back to Crimson Axis. Even though we're supposed to be allies, Ironblood's monitoring is really starting to make me angry. Can't they just let us do what we want without interfering ? I swear I'm going to destroy something if this continues. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't heard Charles calling me until he touched my shoulder.

Jean Bart : Huh ?

Charles : You're okay ? You seem quite tense right now.

Jean Bart : Don't worry. Just angry over the amount of paperwork I have to do.

Charles : ... If you say so. If you need help, call me.

Jean Bart : *smiles* I shall remember that.

Charles P.O.V

I was admiring the view until I looked back at Jean Bart which has a tensed expression, reminding me of Richelieu the other day. I asked if she's okay, answering me with the excuse of paperwork, just like Richelieu. I let it slide for now, but I know she was lying. They really are sister despite their difference of beliefs. I looked back in front of me, as I see the Sakura Empire base in front of me. Not gonna lie, the cherry blossoms make it a sight to behold, but nothing will beat the French architecture. I was so taken by the landscape that I didn't saw that we are already at the harbour. If it wasn't for Jean Bart calling me, I could have stayed for hours looking at the cherry blossoms.

Jean Bart : Hey, stop daydreaming. Ironblood is waiting right now.

Charles : Oh right. Let's go then.

As I got down from my boat, I saw a 2 girls waiting for us.

???3 : Oh my~ So this is the shipboy~. He's quite cute, I might take him for myself.

Jean Bart : *jealous* NO !!! He's not yours !

???3 : Oh, you're meaning that he already belong to you ? Too bad~ But I hope you can share~

???4 : Stop it, Prinz. This is serious business. *mutters* I should have asked Z23 to join me.

???3 : Come on, I'm just teasing~

Charles : May I have your names ?

???3 : My apologies for Prinz Eugen's behavior. I am Bismarck, a Bismarck-class battleship and leader of Ironblood.

???4 : Like Bisko said, I am Prinz Eugen, an Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruiser. Do you like what you see there, big boy~ ?

Charles : ...What Am I supposed to look at ?

Prinz Eugen looked shocked at what I said. But it returned soon to a smirk.

Prinz Eugen : You seem to be one hard but to crack, but I will succeed in embarrassing you.

Charles : You can try so hard, and go so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter.

Prinz Eugen : Be ready. I look forward teasing you again. *leaves the group*

Bismarck : ...Never I would have seen the day when someone can shrug off Prinz Eugen's teasing. But let's go to the meeting room.

Charles : What about the Sakura Empire ?

Bismarck : They are in another meeting between themselves. However, they will meet you tomorrow, so you gotta sleep here for the night.

Charles : I see. Let us not waste time.

Meeting room of the Ironblood dorm, Sakura Empire, 2:45 P.M

Still Charles P.O.V

I just sat down in the front of the table with Jean Bart while waiting for the others to come. I didn't have to wait for long before Bismarck, Prinz Eugen and a few others girls enter the room.

Bismarck: Welcome to the Ironblood's meeting room. Where we have the best engineering in the world.

Prinz Eugen : Hey~ We meet again~ I hope I will have some fun with you later~

???5 : Stop teasing him, Schwester ! Not that you are interesting at all, Blödmann !

Charles : *mind* Great ! A tsundere !

Bismarck *slams the table with her fist* SILENCE !!! *both of the girls shut up* My apologies for them, they're always doing that.

???6 : Calm down, Schwester. Would be bad if you loose your temper in front of our guest. And we don't have much time before we leave, so let's use that time wisely.

Bismarck : You're right. By the way, this is Tirpitz, my sister and also a Bismarck-class battleship.

Tirpitz : A pleasure to meet you.

Charles : Right back at you.

Prinz Eugen : And that chessboard angery blonde twintailed girl next to me is my Schwester, Admiral Hipper. But pay no mind to her, all she does is complaining all day, unlike me, who is more interesting.

???7 : Stop it, I hate you all. Not as much as the Sirens, but I still hate you nonetheless.

Bismarck : And this is Graf Zeppelin, the only Aircraft Carrier from Ironblood.

Graf Zeppelin : Like she said, I am Graf Zeppelin, and I should destroy the world.

Charles : *mind* Is she a genderbent Nazi Sasuke ?

Tirpitz : Don't worry about what she said. Graf Zeppelin is Graf Zeppelin.

Charles : If you say so. I think you know who I am, but I will introduce myself nonetheless. I am Charles or more known as MNF Charles de Gaulle, a Nuclear Aircraft Carrier from the Iris Orthodoxy from the future. Yes, I know, they split up, but in my world, they got back together since a long time.

Tirpitz : You said you were a nuclear Aircraft Carrier, what is the difference between the other Aircraft Carriers ?

Charles : I don't need oil to travel, but a nuclear reactor. I can go anywhere I want without limit for around 20-25 years.

Prinz Eugen : Oh my~ You can last quite long~ I might take you right here right now~

Admiral Hipper : SCHWESTER !!! STOP THAT RIGHT NOW !!!

Prinz Eugen : Ara~ You want to claim him before me~ That won't do~.

Jean Bart : You won't because he's mine ! *authoritative voice*

3rd P.O.V

Everyone stopped and started looking at Jean Bart, who realised what she just said, blushing and embarrassed.

Jean Bart : *stutters, embarrassed* I-I-I m-m-mean, he's under my responsibility, that's it !!!

Prinz Eugen : You're really that bold, aren't you ~?

Jean Bart : Continue like that and I shoot you down !

Charles and Bismarck seemed to have enough and turned their hand into a fist, but Charles was quicker to act.

Charles : SHUT UP !!! *punches the table so hard it broke*... Sorry for the table.

Bismarck: ...Don't worry about it. *in mind* Scheisse, he hits hard, maybe as hard as Roon and Friedrich. I shall not mess with him. *out loud* Have you fought Sirens before ?

Charles : When I came in this world, a huge Siren fleet was approaching me with Purifier leading them. It was a one-sided annihilation to me, I could have killed Purifier if she didn't blind me to cover her escape.

Admiral Hipper : This is totally a lie ! There's no way he could destroy a huge Siren fleet by himself !

Jean Bart : And yet, he did. I was there when he did it. He destroyed the fleet with 3 planes, ONLY 3 PLANES out of the 50 he has !!! He used his cannons and missiles against Purifier. And he looked like he was holding back.

Charles : I had to. The less the enemy know about you, the better it is. If I wanted, I could have gone to start a mass genocide against the Sirens.

Graf Zeppelin was approaching Charles until she was right in front of him.

Graf Zeppelin : ...

Charles : ...

Graf Zeppelin : ZA WARUDO !!!

Author : NOOOOO !!! You weren't supposed to say that. Formidable, She said the L-word to you.

Formidable ... *approaches menacingly*

Graf Zeppelin : Wait, I never said Lumbering-

Formidable : Now, you've done it. ZA WARUDO : DON'T MOVE AN INCH !!!

[We are encountering some technical difficulties. Please stand by.]

Take 3

Graf Zeppelin : Join me in my quest of destroying the Sirens, they shall learn their place. To me, you don't deserve any amount of hatred.

Charles : Seems interesting. I'll keep that in mind for now.

Bismarck : *coughs* Ahem, we have lost already too much time. So, I'm afraid I can only ask one last question. What is your objective in this world.

Charles : Protect my homeland while killing Sirens.

Bismarck : I see. Looks like this all for today. Hipper, could you bring him to his guest bedroom ? After all, Sakura Empire wants to meet him.

Admiral Hipper : Hmph. Fine, but it's not because I want to.

(Timeskip given to you by Chibi Formidable and Chibi Dio Brando drinking some tea)

A hallway of the Sakura Empire dorms

Admiral Hipper : You should be grateful I'm leading you to your dorm.

Charles : *turns around to face Hipper* You are a tsundere.

Admiral Hipper : HUUUUUHHHH ?!?!?!!

Charles : You're putting an act because you desperately want attention.

Admiral Hipper : S-S-SH-SHUT UP AND GET LOST !!!

Charles : Ok. *leaves Hipper alone*

Admiral Hipper : HEY !!! Where are you going ?!

Charles : Getting lost, just like you asked me to do.

Admiral Hipper : B-B-But !!! Hurgh... you're worse than Prinz Eugen...

Charles P.O.V

As we got to my dorm I'm staying in, I opened the door to see
Shtorm and the Russian girls dancing on some hardbass...

Author : Oops, this wasn't supposed to be there. Also, wrong book.

Take 4

As we got to the dorm I'm staying in, I opened the door to see... Prinz Eugen in lingerie waiting on my bed looking with lust at me.

Prinz Eugen : Do you like what you see~ ?

Charles : Who called a stripper in my room ? I'm pretty sure this is not my birthday. (A/N : Guess the reference.)

As I said that, Prinz Eugen's smirk quickly disappeared before she become embarrassed. I also swore that I heard Admiral Hipper snickering behind my back.

Prinz Eugen : ... I got it. I'm leaving.

Charles : Good. I need to rest.

Admiral Hipper P.O.V

I will never forget what he says to my Schwester. Finally, revenge has been served. He managed to embarrass her without any problem.

Admiral Hipper : So, how does it feel to be embarrassed ?

Prinz Eugen : You should know, chessboard.

Admiral Hipper : SHUT UP !!! And why would you do that ?

Prinz Eugen : Because he's cute~ And I can't let you get him~

Admiral Hipper : I-I-I'm n-not in-in-interested in him ! Also, Bismarck told us it's time to go back to our base !

Prinz Eugen : All right. Let's get going then.

(A/N) : And that's it for chapter 5. I hope you have enjoyed it. Feel free to leave your feedback and opinion in the comments.

First, I thank you for reading this book. While I was writing this, I saw that this book got 1K views. I never expected that. I thought this story would stay in the abyss of Wattpad but I guess not. So thank you for reading this, the fact you're reading this keep me motivated to continue this story.

Second, concerning the poll, choice 2 won. But for those who voted for 1, I decided that Charles meeting the 2 factions would be done in 2 chapters, so your vote won't be for nothing.

That is all. Thank you for reading this chapter and see you in the next one.

TheBreizhOne out !
