Narrator:Takeo and his ships were going to the Sakura Empire, but they went north, and Takeo got very cold, so they decided to take a little break to warm up.

*They arrive at a snowy terrain. Takeo sits down on the floor, and tries to warm himself up*

Takeo:"W-We don't h-have to s-stop."

Ayanami:"The Sakura Empire is the least of our problems now."

Takeo:"H-Huh?"

Z23:"Hey, look over there! There's an igloo."

*Z23 points to an igloo further in the snow*

Takeo:"Let's check it out."

Javelin:"I'll check to see if anyone is inside."

Z23:"I'll come with. Ayanami, carry Takeo to the igloo, and Laffey-"

Laffey:"Zzz..."

*Laffey is asleep on Takeo's lap*

Z23:"How can she even sleep in this place?!"

Takeo:"I wouldn't even q-question it anymore." *Sneezes*

Ayanami:"We need to get the commander to the igloo."

Z23:"Alright, let's check it out first."

*Z23 and Javelin search the igloo, and give a thumbs up to Ayanami. They head back to help carry Takeo and Laffey into the igloo*

Takeo:"Alright, heh...I already feel better in here."

Z23:"I'll check to see if there's anything to warm you up."

Takeo:"Thanks a lot."

Javelin:"I'll look too."

*Javelin and Z23 look around the igloo*

Takeo:"I just hope this doesn't turn into a cold." *Sneezes* "Too late."

Ayanami:"This is my fault, for leading us this way."

Takeo:"Hey, it's fine. On the bright side, we're now in a new nation, one we haven't been to."

Ayanami:"Yeah, I don't remember us going to a snowy region."

Takeo:"I should have prepared more if this was our actual location."

Ayanami:"Just try to warm up."

Takeo:"Alright."

Z23:"Hey, there's only vodka in the fridge here!"

Laffey:"Drink..."

*Laffey gets off of Takeo's lap, and goes to the vodka in the fridge*

Takeo:"Well, at least she's enjoying herself."

Z23:"Ugh..."

*They hear something from outside the igloo. Everyone spawns the weapons and a girl with long blonde hair, and purple eyes enters the igloo with a bottle in her hand*

Takeo:"W-Wait, it's a shipgirl."

???:"Huh? Yay, new friends to drink with!"

Takeo, Ayanami, Javelin, and Z23:"Huh?!"

???:"здра́вствуйте, My name is Grozny and I'm part of the Gnevny-class."

Takeo:"Uh...I'm Takeo. The commander of Azur Lane."

Grozny:"Commander...oh, you're the guy Avrora talked about."

Takeo:"Avrora? Oh, I remember her."

Takeo(mind):The drunk soviet girl.

Takeo:"You know her?"

Grozny:"Yes, we both love our vodka." *Burps*

*Takeo looks over to Laffey drinking a bottle of vodka*

Laffey:*Burps*

Takeo:"Well, there's your new drinking friend."

Grozny:"Yay."

*Grozny goes to Laffey, and they start drinking together*

Takeo(mind):Damn, the one thing I can't do for Laffey...get drunk with her, but I don't think I would be making a good example if I start drinking though.

Grozny:"Oh, I have many other friends coming too."

Takeo:"Huh? What does that mean?"

Z23:"Commander?"

Takeo:"Yeah?"

*Takeo and Z23 look outside the igloo, and they spot a group of girls coming towards them*

Takeo:"W-What the?"

Javelin:"Are those her friends?"

*A girl with long silver hair and red eyes comes inside the igloo*

Takeo:"Whoa!"

???:"Oh, my apologies for startling you."

Takeo:"I-It's fine, it's just..."

Takeo(mind):She looks so familiar. Like someone I know pretty well.

???:"Let me introduce myself, I am Sovetskaya Rossiya. I am the mightiest of the Northern Parliament's battleships. You must've the commander, right?"

Takeo:"Y-Yeah. Takeo Koshiro, Nice to meet you."

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"Da, it appears that you have already been acquainted some of Northern Parliament's might."

Takeo:"Well, so far I've meet 3 of you soviet ships so...yeah, I'd say that I'm sort of acquainted with the Northern Parliament."

Grozny:"Comrade commander has a drinking friends for me."

Takeo:"Comrade commander?"

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"My apologies, again. Since you're so acquainted with Northern Parliament. You are know as comrade."

Takeo:"Huh...ok then."

???:"Hey! The hell is going on?!"

*Takeo spots a girl wi long white hair and red eyes, her face flustered, with a bottle of vodka in her hand*

Takeo(mind):Oh no, is she an 'angry Russian' type of person?

???:"You walk into our igloo like it's your home?! You think I'll let you get away with this?"

Takeo:"W-We're sorry, we just needed a place to stay."

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"Excuse my friend. Her name is Gangut, she's a short tempered person.

Takeo:"I-I can see that."

Gangut:"Huh?! Erg..."

Z23:"We're sorry for intruding your igloo, is it ok if we stay for a bit?"

Gangut:"Ugh...alright, I guess it's fine."

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"You can stay as long as you want."

Javelin:"Really? Thank you so much!"

Takeo:"Yeah, thanks."

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"Oh, wait. There's more you have to meet, comrade commander."

Takeo:"Wait, more? Who else?"

???:"Yoohoo! Right here, commander."

*Takeo looks in the direction of the voice, and sees a girl with long black hair, and pink eyes*

???:"This guy is the commander? Oh well, if he works really hard, doesn't matter how he looks."

Takeo:"Uh...and you are?"

???:"Oh, I am the Pamiat Merkuria! Light Cruiser of the Northern Parliment! Nice to meet ya!"

Takeo:"Uh...nice to meet you too."

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"Well, now that is done. Time for you to meet the rest of Northern Parliament's glorious navy."

Takeo:"R-Right now?!"

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"We can wait for you to prepare yourself for the journey ahead."

Takeo:"T-Thanks."

Grozny:"Comrade commander, wanna drink?"

Takeo:"Um..."

Laffey:"Commander doesn't drink...we don't want him to drink...probably..."

Grozny:"Oh, I see..."

*Grozny looks sad as she continues drinking her vodka*

Takeo:"Ugh!"

*Takeo grabs onto his chest*

Takeo(mind):My heart is now full of sadness, how could I let this happen?! I am such a failure!

Ayanami:"Commander, are you ok?"

Takeo:"No, my heart is as cold as ice now."

Ayanami:"H-Huh?"

*Takeo curls up into a little ball*

Ayanami:"Oh no, commander is sad. W-What should I do?"

*Ayanami panics as Sovetskaya Rossiya looks over at them, and approaches Ayanami*

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"Want to make him less sad, comrade?"

Ayanami:"Uh...yes, please."

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"Hmm...oh, Pamiat Merkuria might have an idea."

Ayanami:"Huh?"

*They approach Pamiat Merkuria, and she gives Sovetskaya Rossiya an idea*

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"Comrade commander, we should head over to the Northern Parliament headquarters right now."

Takeo:"Huh?"

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"However, we should get you something to cover you up."

Takeo:"Y-You don't need to-"

Ayanami:"I can hold a big blanket for me and the commander."

All:"..."

Takeo(mind):What?

Z23:"Oh...r-right. Ayanami is in charge of keeping the commander warm."

Javelin:"Huh?"

Laffey:"Aww...I didn't want to ride on commander's back...not that badly..."

Takeo(mind):That's a lie.

Z23:"We don't mind Ayanami keeping him warm...right, guys?"

Javelin:"U-Uh...N-No, not at all."

Laffey:"I do-"

*Z23 covers Laffey's mouth*

Z23:"S-She said she doesn't mind."

Ayanami:"Alright, count on me."

Takeo:"Uh..."

Takeo(mind):What just happened?

Sovetskaya Rossiya:"Then it's settled, we leave immediately."

Takeo:"W-What?!"

*Everyone gets ready to head out*

Takeo:"Ugh...I can't believe we're going out again."

*Takeo gets a blanket on his back*

Takeo:"Huh?"

Ayanami:"This should keep you warm for now."

Takeo:"Uh...sure, but..."

*Takeo notices the blanket over Ayanami's back as well*

Takeo:"Why are we sharing the blanket?"

Ayanami:"Uh...because I'm keeping you warm."

Takeo:"O-Ok..."

*They head outside of the igloo and start heading towards the Northern Parliament headquarters*
