(I prefer Minato over Makoto as his name)

Minato Arisato/Commander:

After saving the Azur Lane universe, Minato was brought back because of his friend, Akira. Minato returned and now leads the place again. Minato has improved his personality after all he went through in the second book. When he came back, he had no ring on him. It was transported to Akashi and kept safe. The shipgirls that "married" Minato decided that he should choose his own wife and so, just like that, Minato has no wife,

(so kinda basically divorced but a good way lmao)

Minato is able to pick who he wants to oath. They did this as thanks for saving the universe. Currently, Minato has 1 secretary, Takao. Jintsuu decided she would step down as secretary because she was only a secretary after what happened to Takao. Now, she does sorties and help around the place. Lastly, Enterprise decided she would leave the place and train to get strong for Minato. Will Minato have a new secretary in the future?

(I'm using Akira instead of Ren)

Akira Kurusu/Joker:

A Persona user like Minato, Akira is an ally of Minato and helps him as if he was a secretary. Akira helps Nagato & Mutsu with training and is a very good friend of theirs. Akira is the one who brought Minato back due to him begging for him in the Velvet Room. Akira wields a gun, his weapon, a dagger, and his main Persona, Raoul. (However he can use other Personas)

Yu Narukami:

(Yu can also use multiple Personas)

Richelieu:

The leader of the Iris Libre and the Cardinal. Richelieu finds Minato in need of assistance. Richelieu respects Minato very much and has a little crush on him. Later on, Minato and Richelieu hang out together which Richelieu develops a strong relationship with Minato.

Saint Louis:

After spending a long ass time getting Saint Louis, she finally appears but doesn't appear to be normal. Saint Louis thinks she was told by God to be with  Minato forever. She becomes way to close to Minato with her doing questionable acts to get Minato's attention. She even goes to a point to duel Akira with her big lance.

Jeanne d'Arc:

Jeanne d'Arc will eliminate other girls just to be with Minato with her sword. Yu was caught hanging out with Minato which lead Jeanne d'Arc putting her sword close to Yu's neck with Minato telling her to stop. She tells Minato, if she catches him with Yu, he'll get it.

Le Téméraire:

L'Opinâtre's sister, she appears friendly to Minato but wants him to herself so they can be together and eat sweets together. She even goes far to put something special in the sweets.

As Surcouf first sees Minato she falls for him immediately. Usually Surcouf wouldn't do many things and just laze around. However, if Minato gives her orders, she would do them immediately but would ask for something in return. She starts off with getting a kiss everytime she is ordered. Later on she would ask for something extreme. When she gets close to Minato she puts her watermelons on his head or on the side of his arm. She gets lustful overtime and wants something... inside...

Émile Bertin:

Émile finds out that Minato danced and needs more joy in his life. So, she becomes devoted to give more joy to Minato.
