Narrator:Takeo has sent the certificates to Enterprise to claim Cleveland and her sisters. The next day, in his office, Enterprise visits him.

Takeo:"Good morning, Enterprise."

Enterprise:"Morning. I've got guests that want to properly introduce themselves."

Takeo:"Oh, ok then."

*I see Cleveland come into my office*

Cleveland:"How's it going, Takeo?"

Takeo:"Hey, Cleveland. I'm doing pretty good, how about you?"

Cleveland:"I'm doing good."

???:"So this is the new commander?"

*A girl with long peach colored hair, and reddish eyes walks into the office*

???:"I'm Columbia."

Takeo:"Uh...I'm Takeo Koshiro."

Cleveland:"This is my younger sis."

Takeo:"Huh...so you're Columbia, got it."

Columbia:"That was quick."

Takeo:"Well, it shouldn't be that hard to remember someone's name."

Takeo(mind):Then again, I almost didn't remember Cleveland's name before.

Takeo:"Ok...I didn't think you were gonna introduce me to your sisters already."

???:"We didn't need to meet you, but big sis told us to, so here we are."

*Another girl with long white hair and red eyes enters Takeo's office*

Takeo:"And you are?"

???:"Montpelier."

Takeo:"Ok, I'm Takeo."

Montpelier:"..."

Takeo:"...Alright, who else is there?"

Cleveland:"One at a time, Takeo. One at a time."

Takeo:"Oh, fine."

*Another girl with short white hair, and light blue eyes enters Takeo's office*

???:"Nice to meet you, commander."

Takeo:"And who are you?"

???:"Can't you tell?"

*She points at her cape, There's a word that Takeo notices*

Takeo:"Denver. That's your name?"

Denver:"Correct."

Takeo:"Ok, I'm Takeo."

Denver:"Nice to meet ya."

Takeo:"Wow...you're the nice one, I bet."

Cleveland:"Hey!"

Takeo:"O-Oh, you're nice too, Cleveland."

Columbia:"Wow...big sis can even threaten the commander!"

Montpelier:"Big sis, you're amazing."

Denver:"You really are so strong, big sis."

Cleveland:"Uh...w-well...thanks."

Takeo:"Heh."

Cleveland:"Huh? What's so funny?"

Takeo:"Oh, it's just..."

Cleveland:"...Huh?"

Takeo:"I can relate to you...in a way."

Cleveland:"Huh?"

Takeo(mind):I was admired by my little sister too, Cleveland.

Takeo:*Whispers* "Maybe we are more alike than I thought."

Cleveland:"What did you say?"

Takeo:"...Nothing. Is that everyone?"

Cleveland:"Uh...no, there's one more."

*The last girl comes in, she has short red hair, and red eyes*

Takeo:"Ok, the last one. If I remember from the certificates, your name was...Birmingham, right?"

Birmingham:"That is correct."

Takeo:"Takeo, nice to meet you."

Birmingham:"Likewise."

Takeo:"Alright, that's everyone, right?"

Cleveland:"Yep. That's everyone."

Takeo:"Great, well...nice to meet you all."

All:"..."

Takeo:"...Ok...I guess that's it...I don't really know what else to say."

Cleveland:"Hey, can you all wait outside, I have a question for Takeo."

Montpelier:"Are you gonna fight him?"

Cleveland:"What?! No!"

Montpelier:"Aww man..."

Takeo:"I think I should be scared of her, right?"

Denver:"She's was kidding..."

Takeo:"Really?"

Montpelier:"Yeah...it was a...terrible joke..."

Denver:*Whispers* "You were kidding, right?"

Montpelier:*Whispers* "I don't even know anymore, we're talking about our sister. Either it's totally a fight, or the exact opposite."

Denver:"...We'll be outside!"

Montpelier:"Knock him out, big sis!"

Columbia:"Yeah! No mercy!"

*Birmingham and Denver drag Montpelier and Columbia out of Takeo's office*

Takeo:"Haha...your sisters sure are wild, huh?"

Cleveland:"Yeah, you could say that...um...listen, about what happened before."

Takeo:"Huh? What happened before what?"

Cleveland:"Before Birmingham introduced herself, my sisters were complementing me, saying that I could even boss you around, you laughed a little and you said something under your breath, what did you say?"

Takeo:"...I said, that we are more alike than I first thought."

Cleveland:"Huh? How, exactly?"

Takeo:"Do you not know anything about me?"

Cleveland:"I know you're the commander now, but if you're talking about your personal life, then no."

Takeo:"Well...let me enlighten you about what my family was like."

Cleveland:"You make it sound like its gonna be long."

Takeo:"Well, I'll keep it short. Like you, I had a younger sister, her name was Aoki, and she used to think of me as some kind of savior...I guess your sisters reminded me a lot of her..." *Sniff*

Cleveland:"Takeo...s-sorry, I meant, commander..."

Takeo:"Don't worry about it...it's fine." *Sniff*

*Takeo's eyes start watering*

Cleveland:"Commander?"

Takeo:"I'm fine, really...I just...need a minute..."

Cleveland:"...Ok then."

*Cleveland leaves Takeo's office, as he sits at his computer*

Takeo:*Sniff* *Sobs*

Takeo(mind):Damn it...battleships took my sister...now here I am...a commander of a navy called Azur Lane...why haven't I questioned this yet?!

Takeo:"What would Aoki think of me now..."

Takeo(mind):She always thought I was a savior...

*Takeo imagines what Aoki would think of his situation*

Takeo(mind):Yeah...she would think that I'm so cool, or something like that...

Takeo:"Heh..."

*Takeo turns on his computer, and sees a notification*

Takeo:"Huh? Oh yeah, it's the relationship reports.

*Takeo looks at the reports*

Takeo(mind):Javelin...20%, ok then. Laffey...30%, wait, did it go down?! Ayanami...15%, hey, that went up. Lastly, Z23...20%, ok then.

Takeo:"Huh..."

Takeo(mind):There's one thing I want to do.

*Takeo sends a message to one of the girls*

Takeo(mind):Now I have to wait for her...

*A few minutes past, and she arrives*

Takeo:"Come on in, Z23."

Z23:"Yes, sir. Did you need something, commander?"

Takeo:"Yeah, um...I heard that there was a place where I can study, right?"

Z23:*Gasps* "Wunderbar! There is a place, I can show you...i-if you want, sir."

Takeo:"Alright then, let's go."

Z23:"Yes sir!"

*Z23 and Takeo go to the library*

Takeo:"Ok, what do they have here?"

Z23:"Well, sir. Since this is a navy, we only have navy books."

Takeo:"So, basically...information about ships?"

Z23:"More or less, yes, sir."

Takeo:"That could actually be useful, I could learn more about you."

Z23:"W-Well, yeah...but sir, with all due respect, you could learn already learn about us on the internet."

Takeo:"I'd just wanna see what they have here. You never know anything without figuring it out."

Z23:"Ah! Y-Yes, sir."

Takeo:"Heh...you don't need to be so tense. Relax, the library is your well-known environment."

Z23:"O-Ok, sir..."

*Takeo pats Z23 on the shoulder, and she blushes a bit*

Z23:"Ah!"

*Takeo and Z23 look around the library, for a few hours*

Takeo(mind):Wow...this place has information about skills the girls have, and they have a section within the books where it says what their personality is like too, these are things I won't find online.

Takeo:"Z23?"

Z23:"Yes, sir?"

Takeo:"What are these labels?"

Z23:"Oh, those labels are to tell what classes the ships are in."

Takeo:"Classes?"

Z23:"You don't know that?!"

Takeo:"No...not really."

Z23:"Well, us ships are divided into nations, then into types of ships, and within those types of ship groups, we are divided into classes."

Takeo:"Huh..."

Z23:"Some of our classes are groups of sisters."

Takeo:"Really? So that's why I see this."

*Takeo points at a label that says 'Cleveland-Class' on it*

Z23:"The Cleveland-Class? That's the one with a group of about 3 to 4 sisters, right?"

*Takeo looks at the Cleveland-Class section*

Takeo:"Let's see...there, Cleveland."
