Narrator:Takeo is now heading towards the library to study with Z23.

*Takeo arrives at the library and sees Z23 waiting for him*

Z23:"Jeez...took you long enough."

Takeo:"Uh...my bad."

Z23:"Whatever, come on."

Takeo:"O-Ok then."

*Z23 gives Takeo a stack of books*

Takeo:"Oh god..."

Z23:"You're gonna have to read all of these by tomorrow."

Takeo:"Wait, tomorrow?!"

Z23:"Correct."

Takeo(mind):What the hell?!

Takeo:"Ugh...alright then, fine."

*I grab the book at the top and realize the cover*

Takeo:"Uh...Z23? Why am I reading a book about you?"

Z23:"W-Well, don't you want to know more about me?"

Takeo:"That's not what I meant. Why am I reading a book about you when I can just ask you?"

Z23:"Huh?! I-I didn't really think of that..."

Takeo(mind):Even a smart girl like Zed misunderstands stuff?!

Takeo:"Alright, if you want me to learn about you, tell me about yourself."

Z23:"Ah! You really want to know?"

*Z23's face blushes a bit*

Takeo:"Sure, you were the one who said I should learn more."

Z23:"O-Ok, but if you laugh at something funny about me, I'm gonna slap you."

Takeo:"O-Ok."

Takeo(mind):Jeez, what's with this hostility.

*Z23 talks with Takeo, and they read about other ships as well*

Takeo:"Alright, anyone else we should look at?"

Z23:"How many have we read so far?"

Takeo:"We've read 5 books about different ships, and they were all in the Iron Blood section."

Z23:"Oh yeah, which ones caught your eye?"

Takeo:"Well...whoever this Prince Eugene is, she sounds like a ship I would think would dominate on the battlefield."

Z23:"Uh..."

Z23(mind):The battlefield wouldn't be the only she'll dominate.

Z23:"I-I don't really recommend having her on the fleet though."

Takeo:"Huh? Why?"

Z23:"U-Uh...is there anyone else that interested you?"

Takeo:"What about...Admiral Hipper sounds like a cool ship."

Z23:"Ugh..."

*Z23 hits Takeo on the head*

Takeo:"Ow! What was that for?!"

Z23:"You wouldn't like either of them."

Takeo:"Why?! Is it because of their personalities, or something?"

*Takeo starts reading about the Iron Blood ships' personalities*

Takeo:"Oh..."

Takeo(mind):I've changed my mind...I don't wanna meet them!

*Takeo and Z23 continue to research the ships of Iron Blood*

Takeo:*Yawns* "Crap, it's that late already?!"

Z23:"Huh? It is?!"

Takeo:"Even you didn't know?"

Z23:"U-Uh..."

Takeo:"Of course, you didn't. Alright, how about we start heading back to the dorm."

Z23:"R-Right."

*They start walking back to the dorm*

Takeo:"See ya tomorrow, Z23."

Z23:"Yeah...you didn't have to walk me to my dorm, you know."

Takeo:"I know, I wanted to."

*Z23's face blushes*

Z23:"W-Well, thanks...but you better remember that we're going to the Iron Blood tomorrow. We can meet up at the dock."

Takeo:"Alright, you've got it."

Z23."Just the two of us!"

Takeo:"Yes, I know..."

Takeo(mind):Wait, just me and Zed?!

Z23:"Ok then, see ya tomorrow, commander."

Takeo:"Uh...y-yeah, see ya."

*Z23 heads into her dorm, and Takeo starts walking back to his house*

Takeo:"Jeez..."

Takeo:"Now I've only got one more problem to deal with tonight..."

*Takeo goes home, and gets tackled by Dido*

Dido:"Master!"

Takeo:"Ugh!"

Takeo(mind):There's my problem...

Dido:"I have dinner all set! Let's have it together!"

Takeo:"Ugh! O-Ok, can you please get off of me?!"

*Dido gets off of Takeo, and they start eating dinner*

Takeo:"Thank you for the meal, Dido!"

Dido:"Anything for you, master."

Takeo:"So...are you gonna sleep in my room again tonight?"

Dido:"Yep! Unless you don't want me around..."

Takeo(mind):Don't make me feel bad again, please!

Takeo:"N-No, I don't mind."

Dido:"Great."

Takeo:"...Ok then, I'm gonna head into the shower."

Dido:"Alright, I'll get ready for bed myself."

*Takeo takes a shower, and gets ready for bed. He heads into his room, and sees Dido in her little bed, facing towards him*

Takeo:"Heh...goodnight, Dido."

Dido:"Goodnight, master."

*Takeo turns off the lights, and gets in his bed*

Takeo(mind):Alright, now I have to find a way to tell Dido that I'm going to Iron Blood tomorrow, without her trying to go with me, and without hurting her feelings.

Takeo:"..."

*Takeo hears Dido moving around in her bed, and he looks over to see her tossing and turning in her sleep, he notices something on the edge of her bed*

Takeo(mind):Wait, isn't that...a doll?

*Takeo gets out of his bed, and goes to the side of Dido's bed that the doll is on*

Takeo:*Whispers* "...Here, Dido."

*Takeo grabs the doll, and puts it in Dido's arms. She wraps her arms around the doll*

Takeo(mind):There, problem solved.

Dido:"Zzz...master..."

Takeo(mind):Aww...she thinks the doll is me, that's kind of cute.

Takeo:"Heh..."

*Dido starts squeezing the doll*

Takeo:"Uh..."

Takeo(mind):Isn't she holding onto that doll a little too hard? I'm pretty sure I'd die if that was actually me...

*Takeo goes back into his bed, and faces towards Dido*

Takeo(mind):She didn't have to stay with me, and I don't really need someone to look over my house, but...she's part of my fleet. If she wants to stay here, I'll gladly take her in.

*Takeo goes to sleep. The next morning he wakes up and goes to his office, and turns on his computer to check the daily reports*

Takeo(mind):Alright, Dido is now 75%. Well, I guess if you have a girl at your house, they will start getting close to you, not to mention that it's Dido we're talking about here.

Takeo:"Huh? Wait, what's up with Javelin's rank?"

Takeo(mind):'Promise'? What does that mean?

*Takeo goes back to the manual*

Takeo(mind):Ok, 'instead of the Lover rank, you can also promise the ship that you will never leave it's side. The Promise rank makes the ship completely loyal to said commander. You can promise as many ships as you can. The promised ship has to go wherever said commander goes'...great...

Takeo:"So much for just me and Z23 going to Iron Blood..."

Takeo(mind):Anyway, Z23 is at 95%, oh boy. Ayanami and Laffey are at 100%, I bet I have to promise them soon. Unicorn is at 85%, great.

*Takeo looks at the rest of the daily reports*

Takeo:"Well, I guess that's all of them."

Takeo(mind):Since Dido is still asleep, I'll put a note next to her bed saying that I'm going somewhere, and that I probably won't return until dinner, so she could prepare dinner, and keep the house clean until I get back.

*Takeo writes the note, and puts it on Dido's bed without waking her up*

Takeo:"Ok, now to go meet up with Z23."

*I leave the house and meet up with Z23 at the dock*

Z23:"Good morning, commander."

Takeo:"Uh...yeah, good morning. Hey, Z23? Do you always where your outfit?"

Z23:"What do you mean? I always wear this outfit."

Takeo:"Hmm..."

Z23:"W-Why are you looking at my outfit anyway?"

Takeo:"Oh, sorry."

Z23:"Jeez...you're so hopeless."

Takeo:"Ok, wow...that kind of hurt."

Z23:"Ugh...whatever, are we going to Iron Blood, or not?"

Takeo:"Ok, ok. Let's get going then-"

*Takeo hears someone calling his name*

Javelin:"Takeo!"

Takeo:"J-Javelin?! What are you doing here?"

Javelin:"Well, Z23 told me you two were going to Iron Blood, so I wanted to join."

Takeo:"Oh, is that ok, Z23?"

Z23:"Hmm..."

Javelin:"Please, Z23?"

Z23:"Oh, fine. You can come with us."

Javelin:"Yay! Thanks, Z23!"

Takeo:"Alright then, now let's get going."

*Takeo heads into his ship, Javelin and Z23 transform, and they head to Iron Blood*

Narrator:Takeo is now gonna visit Iron Blood with Z23 and Javelin. What ships will he visit this time? Find out next episode.

Hey bros, it's me, the author! Oh boy, I'm gonna have a lot of fun with the Iron Blood ships, and remember when I said last episode that I have bad luck when it comes to the event construction...well...I have all the Northern Parliament ships now, except for Avrora.

Well, anyway! Thank you all for reading, and I'll see you guys next time!
