Narrator:Takeo and his ships went to the beach, and they just went to bed afterwards. Timeskip to the next day, in Takeo's office, he got an idea.

*In Takeo's office, his starters ships minding their own business, when Takeo suddenly yelled out*

Takeo:"Let's go back to the Royal Navy!"

Ayanami, Z23, and Javelin:"Huh?"

Dido:"Huh?!"

Laffey:"Zzz..."

Takeo(mind):Ever since I met Cheshire, I've been wondering if there have been any other new ships that I haven't heard of yet. The best place to start out would be none other than the Royal Navy.

Takeo:"Order is final! Effective immediately."

Z23:"Why are you sounding professional so suddenly?!"

Takeo:"I've been wondering what the Queen has been up to anyway. Why not take visit for a bit?"

Javelin:"Alright! Let's go!"

Ayanami:"You agreed to that quickly."

Dido:"B-But master, what about me?"

Takeo:"I promise you this, we will definitely come back before the end of the day."

Dido:"I-I see..."

Ayanami:"I see nothing wrong with going."

Z23:"Ugh...I guess I have no choice."

Takeo(mind):Actually, you do...but I'm not gonna mention it.

*They leave the dock, with Takeo on Javelin, and start heading towards the Royal Navy*

Javelin:"Commander, we are getting close."

Takeo:"How can you tell?"

*Takeo looks over Javelin's shoulder, and spot Belfast and many of the Royal Maids at the docks*

Takeo:"What's this about?"

*They arrive at the dock, and transform back to normal*

Belfast:"Welcome back, master. It's bee far too long since your last visit."

Takeo:"I don't think it's been that long, but ok."

Belfast:"If you'll excuse me, I must inform the queen about your sudden arrival."

Takeo:"Yeah, sorry about it being sudden."

*Belfast bows and leaves*

Cheshire:"Myaster! Welcome to the Royal Navy."

*Cheshire clings to Takeo*

Takeo:"U-Uh..."

Takeo(mind):Cheshire sure is cute, but...

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

*Takeo sees his starter ships glaring at him*

Takeo:"Y-Yeah, Nice to see you again, Cheshire."

???:"Alright, Cheshire. Leave the commander be, you've upset Dido yesterday, remember?"

Cheshire:"Oh nyeah...I forgot about that..."

*A girl with long white hair, and yellow eyes approaches us, and grabs Cheshire*

???:"I apologize for her, commander. Being a new recruit must be difficult for her."

Takeo:"U-Uh...thanks, and who are you?"

???:"Oh goddess, where are my manners. I am Hermione of the Dido class."

Takeo:"Dido class?! You're like Dido's sister?"

Hermione:"That would be me and Sirius, we are both part of the Dido class."

Takeo:"Sirius...oh yeah, I remember her."

Takeo(mind):Barely, but I remember that she's Dido's sister.

Takeo:"Well, it's nice to meet you, Hermione."

Hermione:"Likewise, commander. Please take care of Dido for me."

Takeo:"I will."

*Hermione leaves, dragging Cheshire with her*

Takeo(mind):Well, this is a better welcome back so far.

???:"Ah, you must be my sister's dear servant."

Takeo(mind):Servant?

*Takeo turns around and sees a girl with long white hair, and red eyes*

???:"I, Valiant, will demand to take you as my assistant."

Takeo:"...Are you you talking to me?"

Valiant:"Y-Yes, you. I, Valiant of the Queen Elizabeth class, requests that you'd become my assistant."

*Valiant approaches Takeo, holding a certificate*

Takeo:"Sorry, having Queen Elizabeth and assiatant in the same sentence doesn't sound right to me."

Valiant:"My sister can be a bit stubborn. She knows not of the ways of a leader like I do. Now, I request that you'd become my assistant."

Takeo:"Uh...I only have one question."

Valiant:"Ask, and your question will surely be answered."

Takeo:"Why your assistant? Why not be like your sister, and ask for me to be a servant or something like she did?"

Valiant:"Remember this well, commander. I am the perfect image of a fleet leader, and if you'd be my assistant, you will surely be more worthy of a 'commander'."

Takeo(mind):I can't tell if she's similar to Queen Elizabeth, or just a little bit more mature than her...

Takeo:"Alright then, fine."

Valiant:"Good, I look forward for your service."

*Valiant leaves the dock*

Takeo(mind):Well, I've already met two new ships, just what the hell did I missed?!

Ayanami:"What now, commander?"

Takeo:"We go visit 'your majesty'."

Javelin:"Alright, let's go!"

*They enter the headquarters of the Royal Navy, and enter Queen Elizabeth's room*

Takeo:"Hello, Queen Elizabeth. How's it going?"

Queen Elizabeth:"Ugh...what are you doing here?"

Takeo:"Just dropping by to say hello, and ask when did all these new girls come from?"

Queen Elizabeth:"What new girls?"

Takeo:"Haha, that's a good joke."

Queen Elizabeth:"I'm serious. What new girls are you talking about?"

Takeo:"R-Really? I'm talking about Cheshire, Valiant, and Hermione. Those are the ones I've met so far."

Queen Elizabeth:"Oh, I forgot to introduce you to my sister."

Takeo:"That's your excuse?! What about Hermione and Cheshire?"

Queen Elizabeth:"They may be new to the harbor, but they have always been part of the Royal Navy."

Takeo:"Huh?"

Queen Elizabeth:"They just didn't get reconstructed until recently."

Takeo:"R-Reconstructed?"

Queen Elizabeth:"That's what I said. I'm surprised you don't know that us shipgirls are able to be constructed manually."

Takeo:"H-Huh..."

Takeo(mind):Wait, didn't I learn this before? Oh yeah, Ayanami told me that when I met Amagi!

Queen Elizabeth:"My sister, and those two maids just got their reconstructed into a shipgirl like us."

Takeo:"Huh...I guess that makes sense."

Takeo(mind):I'm not gonna think too much about it, because my mental image will just get worse if I do.

Takeo:"So...what other new ships are there?"

Queen Elizabeth:"Ugh...why do I have to tell you?!"

Takeo:"Well, it was just a question."

Queen Elizabeth:"The Royal Navy is the only region that has gotten new ships for now."

Takeo:"I see."

Takeo(mind):Well, at least I don't need to visit every other factions because they got new ships.

Takeo:"Thanks, Q.E. That's all I wanted to know about, so I'll take my leave."

Queen Elizabeth:"W-What did you just call me?!"

Takeo:"Q.E.? It's a nickname. Since Queen Elizabeth is a long name, and 'your majesty' is too formal."

Queen Elizabeth:"What?! I never asked to be called that!"

Takeo:"I'm sure you'll get used to it."

Queen Elizabeth:"I refuse to accept that! I order you to call me 'your majesty'!"

Takeo:"Aw man, I thought Q.E. was a good nickname."

Queen Elizabeth:"No, I forbid you from call me that!"

Takeo:"Ok, ok. I get it."

Queen Elizabeth:"If that's all you wanted to discuss, then leave."

Takeo:"I was doing that, see ya."

Queen Elizabeth:"Hmph."

*Takeo leaves the room, and Warspite waits for him out the room*

Warspite:"Q.E.? I suppose your majesty really didn't like that nickname."

Takeo:"Yeah, but her reaction was a bit harsher than usual."

Warspite:"Well, your majesty really is a unique person. She expresses her feeling in a harsh manner."

Takeo:"That's 'your majesty' for you."

*They exit the building, where Takeo's ships were waiting for him*

Takeo:"Well, at least I got to see you and your majesty again."

Warspite:"Your majesty enjoys your visits, even despite her attitude. As do I."

Takeo:"That's good to know, makes me want to come by more often. Alright, later, Warspite."

Warspite:"Good day, commander."

Takeo:"Alright, let's head back to the docks so we can go back early."

Javelin:"Aw man, I wanted to eat dinner here."

Z23:"Dido will get worried if we stay any longer."

Javelin:"Fine. Let's go back and eat dinner with Dido."

Takeo:"That's the spirit."

Laffey:"Zzz..."

Ayanami:"Commander, can you carry Laffey now?"

Takeo:"Alright, up you go."

*Takeo puts Laffey on his back, and they head towards the docks to leave, but a familiar girl bumps into them*

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

Takeo:"Whoa, sorry...wait a minute..."

Takeo(mind):I know that adorable voice!

Takeo:"Unicorn!"

Unicorn:"B-Big brother? Big brother!"

*Unicorn hugs Takeo*

Javelin:"It's Unicorn!"

Ayanami:"Hello, Unicorn."

Takeo:"It's been so long."

Z23:"Where's Illustrious?"

Unicorn:"W-Well, I heard from Belfast that you were here, so I ran over to find you all by myself."

Takeo:"Oh, Unicorn..."

Takeo(mind):She tried to find me all by herself, that's so sweet of her.

Takeo:"Well, you've found me. Now let's get you back to Illustrious."

Unicorn:"O-Ok."

*Unicorn holds Takeo's hand as they search for Illustrious*

Illustrious:"My, is that the commander?"

Takeo:"There she is."

Unicorn:"Big sis!"

*Unicorn goes to Illustrious, and thanks Takeo*

Unicorn:"Bye bye, big brother."

Takeo:"Bye, Unicorn!"

Javelin, Ayanami, Z23:"See ya, Unicorn!"

*They head to the docks again, and start heading back to Azur Lane*

Takeo(mind):Now that I think about it, there are regions I haven't visited at all. Maybe I should go to one of those next.

Narrator:Yes, you should! We need to keep this story going! Where will Takeo go next? Find out next time!

Hey bros, it's me, the author! Remember me? Yeah, me neither. I don't like how I kind of rushed the last half of this episode, but I just have to get use to it with school out now, and my new writing schedule is messing with my brain already...I really need to get used to this. Hopefully this new schedule gets better over time...I doubt it will. Oh well, I need to end this chapter on a happy note, so here's the meme of the chapter:

Fun fact: Indy was the second ship I oathed (Aside from Laffey), and the first ship I spent gems to get one of her skins. I wonder why I did that? Hmm...
