Narrator: Takeo and his ships, along with some ships from the Northern Parliament, are on their way to the headquarters of the Northern Parliment.

*They are on their way to the Northern Parliment. Ayanami has a blanket over her and Takeo, their shoulders connected, making Ayanami blush*

Ayanami: "C-Commander, are you alright?"

Takeo: "Y-Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks, Ayanami."

Ayanami:"I-It was nothing..."

Sovetskaya Rossiya: "Comrade commander, we have finally arrived."

Takeo:"Huh?"

*Takeo sees a bunch of black buildings, mostly covered in snow*

Takeo(mind): Not surprising that there's this much snow on the buildings.

Takeo: "Is this the Northern Parliment?"

Sovetskaya Rossiya: "Correct. We must head inside, quickly."

All: "Right."

*They all head towards one of the buildings labeled 'общежития/dorms'*

Sovetskaya Rossiya: "We should be warm in here."

Takeo: "Yay. Alright, you can take the blanket off now, Ayanami."

Ayanami: "O-Oh...h-how about a little longer?"

Takeo: "Huh?"

*Takeo notices Ayanami's face blushing*

Ayanami: "..."

Takeo: "U-Uh...alright, fine."

Ayanami: "T-Thank you, commander."

*Ayanami wraps the blanket around both of them*

Takeo: "I-I don't think you needed to do that."

Ayanami: "Let's go."

Takeo(mind): Jeez, what am I going to do with this girl? Not just her...

*Takeo looks at the rest of his ships, and their all staring jealously at him and Ayanami*

Takeo(mind): How did I all of a sudden become this girls' target?

Sovetskaya Rossiya: "This way, commander."

Takeo: "Huh? O-Oh, coming!"

*They walk through the dorms, and they arrive at the cafeteria*

Sovetskaya Rossiya: "We have food and water here, rest before you leave. Got it?"

Takeo: "Oh...ok then, we can leave a little later."

Laffey: "Do you have anything to drink here?"

Grozny: "We can have more vodka, if you'd like?"

Laffey: "Yes..."

Takeo: "Heh...Laffey might wanna stay here forever if you guys have an unlimited supply of vodka."

Gangut: "We do have an unlimited amount of vodka."

Takeo: "I'm sorry, what?"

Pamiat Merkuria: "Why are you acting so surprised? We were gonna offer you some too."

Takeo: "One, I don't drink. Two, how can you have an unlimited supply of vodka?!"

Gangut: "Da, I've got an idea for you, comrade. Come, I will show you vodka supply."

Takeo: "Wait, what are you..."

*Gangut grabs Takeo out of the blanket, and carries him away*

Z23: "Uh...shouldn't we go help him?"

Pamiat Merkuria: "He'll be fine, hopefully..."

Z23: "'Hopefully'?!"

Sovetskaya Rossiya: "I doubt that Gangut would harm comrade commander...but she might do something else to him."

Z23: "'Something else'?! I'm gonna go get him!"

*Z23 starts running after Gangut*

Sovetskaya Rossiya: "They really care about him, huh..."

Ayanami: "..."

Javelin: "Are you ok, Ayanami?"

Ayanami: "Huh? Y-Yeah, I'm fine..."

Laffey: "Ayanami...have drink..."

Ayanami: "Uh...N-No, thanks..."

Grozny: "Laffey is my new drinking friend, yay!"

Laffey: "Grozny is Laffey's new drinking friend...yay..."

*Takeo's ships have lunch in the cafeteria. Meanwhile, Takeo is being carried by Gangut, as she heads towards the vodka supply*

Takeo: "W-What are you gonna do to me?!"

Gangut: "Hahaha, no worry, comrade. You'll only feel the greatness of vodka when we're done."

Takeo: "Help! I don't want to drink!"

*Gangut opens a door, and Takeo sees a ton of bottles labeled 'Vodka'*

Takeo: "Oh no..."

Gangut: "Now, enjoy!"

*Gangut grabs one of the bottles and opens it*

Takeo: "Ah!"

*Gangut gets it up to Takeo mouth, and he starts drinking it*

Takeo(mind): Damn you, Gangut!

*Gangut waits until the bottle is completely empty*

Gangut: "How you feel, comrade?"

Takeo: "Uh...what the hell...Gangut?! Why you make me...drink that!" *Burp*

Gangut: "You must be drunk already, comrade. Good."

Takeo: "How is that...good?!" *Burp* "I never...ask for this!"

Gangut: "Now, we shall head back."

*Gangut goes to Takeo to carry him again, but he pushes Gangut back*

Takeo: "Haha, you made me...drink that entire bottle. I bet you wouldn't even...last this long..."

Gangut: "Comrade, it'll be foolish to challenge me to a drink off."

Takeo: "Bet! You're the one who started it! I bet I can last...way longer than you!"

Gangut: "Very well, challenge accepted!"

*Gangut gets a bunch of bottles next to her and another bunch next to Takeo*

Gangut: "Alright, let's begin."

*One bottle later, Takeo passes out*

Gangut: "Hahaha! You are done, I just need to finish this next bottle!"

*Two bottles later, Gangut passes out. A few seconds later, someone walks by and notices them*

???: "My, Gangut can be too much sometimes. Huh? Who is this?"

*The girl picks up Takeo and Gangut, and she takes them to her dorm*

Z23: "Commander! Are you ok?!"

*Z23 finds a bunch of vodka bottles in the supply room*

Z23: "What the? Commander! Where are you?!"

*Z23 continues looking for Takeo*

???: "Hello? Can you wake up, little boy?"

Takeo: "Ugh..."

*Takeo sees a girl with short blue hair, and purple eyes staring down at him*

Takeo: "Huh? What the?"

???: "Hehehe, did I scare you? Sorry."

Takeo: "U-Uh...who are you? W-Where am I?"

???: "Oh, my name is Chapayev. I'm a light cruiser of the Northern Parliment"

Takeo: "I-I'm Takeo, the commander of Azur Lane."

Chapayev: "So you're the commander? Hehe, I see."

Takeo: "Uh...so where am I?"

Chapayev: "You're in my dorm right now, you looked so cute when you were sleeping, that I just put your head in my lap."

Takeo: "Huh?"

*Takeo puts his hand on what he thought was a soft pillow*

Takeo(mind): T-This girl is using her lap as my pillow?!

*Takeo gets up from Chapayev's lap, his face blushing*

Chapayev: "Hehe, I'm sorry I had to put you in such a position."

Takeo: "U-Uh...n-no, it's fine."

Gangut: *Snore*

*Takeo looks over and sees Gangut still asleep*

Takeo: "What happened to me?"

Chapayev: "I just found you and Gangut on the floor, unconscious."

Takeo: "Huh...ow, my head."

Chapayev: "I also found a bunch of vodka near both of you."

Takeo: "Ugh! It hurts trying to remember."

Chapayev: "Take it easy then, commander."

Takeo: "Ugh..."

Chapayev: "Here."

*Chapayev pulls Takeo in for a hug*

Takeo: "H-Huh?!"

Chapayev: "Try to relax, don't get so worked up yet, got it?"

Takeo: "O-Ok..."

*Takeo relaxes in Chapayev's arms*

Chapayev: "Hehe. When you wake up, you'll get a special gift from me."

Takeo: "H-Huh?"

Takeo(mind): What the heck is she going to do? Ugh...my head hurts too much.

*Takeo ends up falling asleep*

Chapayev: "Hehe, I'll let his mind wonder for a bit more."

*Chapayev places Takeo on her bed, and she gets something from her desk, and places it next to her bed*

Chapayev: "Sweet dreams, commander."

*Chapayev heads out of her room*

Narrator: You thought she was gonna do something? Haha! That's a good one. Well, what did she leave next to Takeo, and will Z23 end up finding Takeo in the end? Find out next time.

Hey bros, it's me, the author! The Northern Parliment event might have been a while ago, but oh well. I'm sure most of you have noticed the small difference in format with the dialogue that I'm testing upon request...not a big fan. It's too much of a mind bending experience for me, so I think I'm gonna go with the format I'm currently used to, and hopefully you all are used to it too. Hope you all are fine with my sudden change in format, but the next chapter is going back to normal. Thank you for understanding, and I'm sorry to TheQuoteMan2 who originally requested this new format, I'm really sorry man, but I tried, I really hope this doesn't get any hate or controversy in the comments...please. Anyway, thank you all for reading, check out the new quiz I made about guessing all your favorite Azur Lane ships. Here's the meme of the chapter:

Shout out to the Azur Lane subreddit, and all the great memes and fanart I find on there! With that said, I'll see you guys next time!
