Narrator:Takeo doesn't want to stay while everyone else was planning to, let's see how this works out.

Javelin:"Why can't we stay, commander?"

Takeo:"Well, we were only here to visit my ships, and our job here is done."

Takeo(mind):It isn't, but I don't wanna meet up with Taihou...she'll kill everyone here.

Z23:"But commander-"

Takeo:"I think we'll only be a bother if we stay the night."

Ayanami:"Not unless we all sleep together."

Takeo, and Z23:"N-No way!"

*Z23 starts blushing*

Laffey:"Commander can stay with doggy girls..."

Takeo:"You mean Atago and Takao?"

Takeo(mind):Atago will most likely suffocate me.

Takeo:"H-How about we just head back to Azur Lane?"

Ayanami:"No, commander hasn't even met the head of Sakura Empire, like with the other regions."

Takeo:"W-Wait, who's the head of the Sakura Empire again?"

Ayanami:"Oh, her name is Akagi. I thought you would remember her."

Takeo:"Yeah, rather not meet her. Is there someone that is person second-in power? Like Wales or Cleveland?"

Ayanami:"Hmm...I think that would be Nagato."

Takeo:"Wait, who?"

Ayanami:"Nagato, she technically has more power than Akagi does, but she's very hard to get a hold of."

Takeo(mind):So she's like the emperor of the Sakura 'Empire'?

Takeo:"Well, is there a way I can meet her?"

Ayanami:"You would have to ask someone with high command to ask her to come, but there are only a few that can actually call her."

Takeo:"Please don't tell me Akagi is the only one who can call them..."

Ayanami:"No, of course not. There are plenty of others that can contact her."

Takeo:"Well, anyway...we've got to go back to Azur Lane."

???:"Huh? Hey, it's milord!"

Takeo:"I know that voice."

*Takeo turns around to see Yamashiro, and another girl with long black hair and blue eyes, with cat ears like Yamashiro*

(Best girl's sister!!!)

Takeo:"Oh, it's Yamashiro."

Yamashiro:"Milord!"

*Yamashiro trips herself and falls on the floor. The other girl helps her, and they approach Takeo*

Takeo:"Uh...hey, Yamashiro."

Yamashiro:"Hello, milord. It's so good to see you again."

Takeo:"It's good to see you too."

???:"It's an honor to meet you, milord."

Takeo:"Uh...Nice to meet you too, are you Yamashiro's sister? You two look alike."

???:"Why yes, my name is Fusou, or the Fusou class, same as Yamshiro here."

Takeo:"Well, pleasure for meet you, Fusou."

Fusou:"Likewise, milord."

Yamashiro:"Oh, milord! Are you going to stay for a bit? There's this bakery nearby, and it has amazing cakes."

Takeo:"A bakery?"

Javelin:"A bakery?!"

Fusou:"I didn't know you'd be that much of a foodie, Yamashiro."

Yamashiro:"Wha?! Of course I'm not, I just want to spend time with milord and his ships."

Javelin:"Come on, commander. Let's check out the bakery!"

Takeo:"U-Uh...what about everyone else?"

Z23:"I don't mind."

Laffey:"Zzz..."

Ayanami:"Sure, let's go."

Takeo:"Ugh...alright. We'll stay a bit longer."

Yamashiro:"Yay!"

*Yamashiro jumps up and accidentally lands on her butt*

Yamashiro:"Owie..."

Takeo:"Heh, let's go, Yamashiro."

*Takeo holds his hand out to Yamashiro, and he helps her up*

Yamashiro:"Thank you, milord!"

Takeo:"No problem. Now, let's go to that bakery."

All:"Right."

*They start heading back to the plaza, and they arrive at the bakery*

Javelin:"Now, what to get..."

*Laffey taps Takeo's back*

Takeo:"What's up, Laffey?"

Laffey:"Laffey is ready to order..."

Takeo:"Oh, ok then. You go first then, we still need time."

*Takeo heads to the front, and bends over for Laffey to order*

Laffey:"Give Laffey the best bottle you've got..."

Takeo(mind):Jeez...an alcoholic drink? Oh yeah, I almost forgot, she's an alcoholic.

???:"N-Nya? We don't have any alcohol here, nya."

Takeo(mind):Wait, why do I feel like I've heard that voice before?

???:"We do have really good sweets though, nya. As long as you can afford it, we'll give it to, nya."

Takeo(mind):Where have I heard that voice?

Laffey:"Laffey will pass..."

???:"W-Wait, nya! C-Can you just buy something, nya?"

Laffey:"Why does green cat want it so bad?"

Takeo(mind):Green cat?! Who was someone that was green, and is a cat? Maybe she just has cat ears.

???:"W-Well, nya...y-you see, I'm part of the new commander's fleet, nya...a-and I need to get the money so that I can take care of my dear commander, nya..."

Takeo:"Hold up..."

*Takeo straightens his back, and sees the green haired cat girl with golden eyes. The cat girl gets shocked by Takeo's sudden appearance*

???:"H-Hello, commander, nya...I-I didn't see you there...funny, I was just talking about you, nya..."

Takeo:"You were using me as an excuse to make her pay for something."

???:"Nya! I-I'm sorry, nya! I'm just so poor..."

Takeo:"Ugh..."

Takeo(mind):I remember her now, she's that cat girl during the ceremony, back when I was becoming the commander, and she asked me if I was going to visit the store. What was her name again?

Takeo:"Whatever, we're just going to get some dessert. We won't bother you too much."

???:"T-Thank you, nya."

*They get their dessert, and sit down at a table*

Ayanami:"Akashi can be a bit much."

Takeo:"Who?"

Ayanami:"The cat girl in the bakery."

Takeo:"Akashi is her name?"

Z23:"Yeah, she quite the bargainer."

Takeo:"Oh boy..."

Yamashiro:"Mmm! This cake is so good!"

Fusou:"Yamashiro, slow down. You'll choke if you eat too fast."

Yamashiro:"Ok!"

Takeo:"Heh, you two are adorable."

Fusou:"Huh? Oh, pay no mind to us, milord."

Takeo:"Alright, sorry for staring."

*They all finish eating, but they don't leave yet*

Takeo:"Crap, it's getting late now."

Javelin:"Well, guess we have to stay here..."

Takeo:"Why do you sound excited?"

Javelin:"No reason..."

Z23:"He's not gonna have a sleepover with us, Javelin."

Javelin:"Aw man...I always wonder what's it's like to have a fun little sleepover with the commander."

Laffey:"Laffey wonders that too..."

Z23:"Oh, come on! Ayanami, do you think that?"

Ayanami:"W-Well..."

Z23:"Ugh..."

Takeo:"I'm sorry, girls."

Javelin, Laffey, and Ayanami:"Aww..."

Takeo(mind):Jeez...only me and Nimi understand what's wrong with that!

Z23:"I guess we'll have to look for a girl that you have to stay with."

???:"Commander..."

Takeo:"Huh?"

Takeo(mind):Why do I hear Jaws music in my head?

*Taihou appears from behind Takeo*

Taihou:"Commander...hah..."

Takeo:"No! I refuse!"

Taihou:"W-What? I didn't even ask you anything...commander..."

Takeo:"I did not sign up for this! I'm not gonna have another shower incident with you, Taihou!"

Z23:"I'm sorry...a what?!"

Takeo:"I'll explain later..."

Takeo(mind):Now I wish I didn't say that last part...

Taihou:"Why don't you want to stay with me?"

Takeo:"Because, I wasn't planning to stay here in the first place. Why would I want to stay with someone who tried to kill me?!"

Taihou:"...Commander..."

Takeo:"I'd really appreciate it if you'd just leave me alone."

Taihou:*Gasps* "...I see...ok then..."

*Taihou starts walking away*

Takeo:"Huh?"

Z23:"I think you might have pushed her down a bit too much, commander."

Takeo:"So what, she's still a crazy person. I'd rather swim all the way back to Azur Lane than stay with someone as crazy as her."

Javelin:"What about Dido..."

Takeo:"She's not as crazy as she is, Dido just feels abandoned now."

Laffey:"Laffey is sleepy...where are we going?"

Takeo:"I'll leave Laffey to you girls, I'll just have to find someone on my own this time."

Ayanami:"I can help."

Takeo:"Thanks, Ayanami...but you and the others need to sleep. I'll be fine, ok?"

Ayanami:"Ok..."

Javelin:"Hopefully you'll find someone who would like you to stay with them."

Z23:"Best of luck, commander."

Takeo:"Thanks, but if I don't find anyone who wants me to stay with them, then I'll go to your dorm, ok?"

Z23:"O-Only if it's a last resort, I guess it'll be fine."

Takeo:"Alright, I'll see you all tomorrow."

Laffey, Javelin, Ayanami, and Z23:"Goodnight, commander."

*Takeo heads to the dorms to look for a ship who would let him stay for the night*

Narrator:Well, it looks like Takeo is going to be at the Sakura Empire for a bit longer. I wonder who's going to let him spend the night with her too? Stay tuned to find out.

Hey bros, it's me, the author! So funny story, I originally had this chapter done a day ago, but I thought it would've been too quick to post another episode a day after I posted the previous one. So I kept it and started writing for the next chapter, hopefully it was still good. Anyway, here's the meme of the chapter:

Replace Azuma with Seattle, and you've got my current situation now. Anyway, I'll see you guys next time!
