Narrator:Takeo has a ceremony to be in, but he's taking a little walk around Azur Lane, since he's got plenty of time. Enterprise, Cleveland, along with others prepare the event.

Takeo:"Hmm..."

Takeo(mind):Ok, so there's a spot to here there, there, and there...there's a store at almost every corner...what the? A little catgirl managing a store?!?! What the hell...the people here are so...unique, I've never seen anyone like this.

*Takeo accidentally bumps into a girl with purple hair and green eyes*

???:"Ah! I'm so sorry!"

Takeo:"Oh, i-it's fine."

???:"Huh? A boy?!"

Takeo:"Uh..."

*I see another ship next to her, she has white pigtailed hair, and reddish brown eyes, and she's holding a bottle*

???:"Javelin...what's wrong?"

Javelin:"Ah! N-Nothing."

???:"Who's the guy?"

Javelin:"Uh...I've never met him before. What's your name, mister?"

Takeo:"Uh...my name's Takeo Koshiro."

???:"Oh...Takeo is gonna be Laffey's new commander."

Takeo:"Huh?"

Javelin:"You're gonna be the new commander?! Ah! Please forgive me for my rudeness!"

*The purple haired girl bows repeatedly*

Takeo:"Uh...you don't need to apologize, I'm just new to all this."

Javelin:"Oh...well, I'm Javelin, and this is my friend, Laffey."

Laffey:"Hey..."

*Laffey takes a gulp of what's in her bottle*

Takeo:"Uh...what's that?"

Laffey:"Booze..."

Takeo:"Oh...wait, what?!?!"

Takeo(mind):She looks like she's 12!!!

Takeo:"You really shouldn't drink that."

Javelin:"Don't worry, this is normal for her."

Takeo:"Normal?!?!"

Laffey:"Does Takeo want some?"

Takeo:"No! I'm a minor!!!"

Laffey:"Oh..."

*Laffey continues to drink*

Takeo(mind):This girl...is the weirdest I've seen this entire day...She's like a drunk bunny.

Laffey:"Laffey is feeling tired..."

*Laffey bobs her head up and down*

Takeo:"My god...well, nice meeting you two!"

*Takeo walks away from the two girls*

Laffey:"Bye bye..."

*Laffey waves goodbye to Takeo, and he waves back*

Javelin:"Hehe, he seems like a good person."

Laffey:"Takeo is gonna be Laffey and Javelin's favorite commander?"

Javelin:"Yeah...he seems way nicer than the last one, the new commander might even let us go on missions again."

Laffey:"Yay..."

Javelin:"...I really hope he doesn't become someone like the old commander..."

Laffey:"Javelin...feeling down?"

Javelin:"Huh? N-No...I'm fine."

*Takeo continues to walk around Azur Lane, until he runs into Enterprise, finishing the preparations for the ceremony*

Enterprise:"Oh, there you are."

Takeo:"Hey Enterprise, you were looking for me?"

Enterprise:"We need you around for the ceremony."

Takeo:"Good point, sorry."

*Takeo gets ready for the ceremony*

Enterprise:"Here."

*Enterprise hands Takeo a uniform*

Takeo:"Is this all you have?"

Enterprise:"It's what the old commander wore."

Takeo:"Really? Well...not to mean any offense to the old commander, but I think I'd like to pick a different outfit."

Enterprise:"Oh, that's fine."

*Takeo goes to change and comes back in his chosen uniform*

(Just remove the dagger and the water canister)

Takeo:"Alright, how do I look?"

Cleveland:"Nice, now you look like a real commander!"

*Cleveland gives Takeo a thumbs up, and starts going into the audience*

Takeo:"Thanks."

Enterprise:"...Come on, everyone is waiting for you."

Takeo:"Huh?! Am I supposed to say give a speech?! What should I say?!"

Enterprise:"We don't have much time, so hurry up and think of something."

Takeo:"O-Ok, fine."

Takeo(mind):Ok...it's their first impression of me, I have to act professional, yet kind hearted.

Takeo:"Ok...I'm ready enough."

Enterprise:"Ok, good luck."

*Enterprise goes into the audience*

Takeo:*Inhales* *Exhales*

Takeo(mind):Heh...who knew that I'd be doing this right after almost being blown to bits...

Takeo:"Alright, here we go."

*Takeo goes out on the stage, and sees all the people who arrived*

Takeo(mind):Wait...there's only girls here?!?!

Takeo:"O-Ok then..."

*Takeo gets everyone's attention*

Takeo:"Hello everyone! My name is Takeo Koshiro, I'm gonna be your new commander."

*The crowd is silent*

Takeo(mind):Well, jeez...tough crowd.

Takeo:"Ok, um...I hope you all would welcome me as not just as a commander, but as a friend too. I-If you don't wanna be my friend, that's fine too...I won't force anyone to do something as ridiculous as that. Now, do any of you have questions about me, or who I am?"

*A familiar girl raises her hand*

Laffey:"Laffey has question..."

Takeo:"Y-Yes?"

Takeo(mind):It's that drunk bunny girl from earlier!

Javelin:*Whispers* "Laffey?! Don't ask something like that!"

Laffey:"Takeo, are you like the old commander?"

Javelin:*Whispers* "Laffey! What are you thinking?!"

Laffey:"Laffey wanted to ask question..."

Takeo:"Well...I-I've only heard that there was a old commander, and I was given the chance to wear his old uniform, but I respectfully declined. T-To answer your question, Laffey...I don't really know what the old commander was like, nor do I mean any disrespect to him, but I'll strive to be my own person, and take command all of you in my own way too."

Javelin:*Gasps*

Laffey:"Ok, thank you..."

Takeo:"Ok...anymore questions?"

*A number of people start raising their hands now*

Takeo:"Wow, ok...um...you there."

*Takeo points to a girl with red pigtailed hair, and blue eyes*

???:"Hey! The one and only San Diego here! What do you think of the Grey Ghost?"

Takeo:"Huh? Are you talking about Enterprise?"

Enterprise:"..."

San Diego:"Yes! What do you think of Grey Ghost?"

Takeo:"Well, she's been helpful to me when I first got here, so I think she's a good person."

San Diego:"Great! Thank you very much!"

*San Diego bows*

Takeo:"Uh...ok, anyone else?"

*Takeo points to a girl with long green hair and golden eyes, with cat ears*

???:"Hello-nya! My names Akashi-nya. How often are ya gonna be around the harbor...nya."

Takeo:"Uh...W-Well, since I got nowhere else to go, and I don't even know where I am, I'll probably stay here for as long as my life, maybe."

Akashi:"Nya, nya! One more-nya! Are ya gonna be out and about around the harbor-nya, like are ya gonna visit the shops-nya?"

Takeo(mind):This girl looks like a cat and talks like a cat too?!

Takeo:"Uh...y-yeah, I hope that I'll be going around the harbor, buying some things."

Akashi:"Ok, thank nya!"

*Takeo answers a few more questions*

Takeo:"Alright, that's all I could answer for now, I look forward to working with you all!"

*The crowd cheers as Takeo walks off the stage*

Takeo(mind):I think that went better than I expected! Hell yeah!

*I get approached by Enterprise*

Enterprise:"Nice job."

Takeo:"Uh...thanks."

Enterprise:"Just a little heads up."

Takeo:"Yeah?"

Enterprise:"Flattery like that won't get me to like you more."

Takeo:"Huh? Oh...ok then?"

Enterprise:"Why are you questioning?"

Takeo:"Well...I've never done something like this, I don't understand a comment like that."

Enterprise:"...Never mind."

Takeo:"Uh...ok then..."

Enterprise:"Anyway, I'm gonna show you to your new quarters."

Takeo:"Right, ok then."

*Enterprise takes Takeo to a part of the harbor that was closed off*

Enterprise:"This way."

Takeo:"Ok."

*Enterprise takes Takeo to an empty office*

Takeo:"Huh..."

Takeo(mind):This is a pretty big room.

Enterprise:"We've taken out all of what the old commander had, so you can put whatever you want in it."

Takeo:"Perfect, thank you."

Enterprise:"If you want, we could start the decorations immediately."

Takeo:"Hmm...ok, I appreciate that a lot, please."

Enterprise:"Alright, I'm call some assistance, and we'll be done by the end of the day."

Takeo:"Roger that."

*Takeo helps Enterprise, along with assistance, decorate his office*

Takeo:"Alright, that'll be it. Thank you."

Enterprise:"Not a problem."

*Takeo takes a look around his new office*

Takeo:"Alright, this looks amazing!"

Enterprise:"I'll leave you be."

Takeo:"Oh, alright, thank you for everything."

Enterprise:"Yeah, no problem."

*Enterprise leaves and Takeo sits down and looks at his computer*

Takeo(mind):So...I'm an actual commander...that sure came up out of nowhere, but hopefully it gets better from here.

Narrator:So Takeo is now officially a commander, and is now in charge of Azur Lane.
