The Steampunk Kingdom (Azur Emblem Book V)

Chapter 4

*Evan's Azur Lane base

*Evan POV

Enterprise: Admiral Kenneth is coming with you?

Evan: Yes

Illustrious: at least Evan sama safe now as Admiral Kenneth is coming along as well

Evan: I guess that's true

That night, I was at the canteen discussing about what happened during the naval exercise with some of my shipgirls

Glorious: so what are you going to do now Evan?

Evan: I'll set up a volunteer list for shipgirls who want to accompany me to Askr. I'll select only six shipgirls so if there's more than six candidates, I'll select randomly

Enterprise: I see

Evan: For now let's rest up for tomorrow

Enterprise: Roger/Ryokai

Evan: Also, how's the babies you three?

I turned my attention to Glorious, Lexington and Valiant

Glorious: They're doing alright

Valiant: just a few more months before we go into labour

Evan: alright

Valiant: Let's finish our tea before it gets cold

Evan: Right

We then spend the rest of the night chatting about the naval exercise until it was time for bed

*Timeskip

The next morning, I woke up and continued my routine of getting ready before going into my office. Once I'm in my office, I instructed a manjuu to deliver the list I have made for volunteers who wanted to accompany me to the kingdom of Askr to investigate what is going on over there. The manjuu nodded before leaving with the list. After the manjuu left, I made my way to the canteen to have breakfast. Once I have reached the canteen, I grabbed my food and sat alone until Glorious, Valiant, Lexington, Nepgear and my two secretary ships, Enterprise and Illustrious, sat around me. Noire went back to Lastation as there's an emergency happening over there and she needs to go back

Glorious: Good morning Evan

Glorious greeted me as she set her food down on the table

Lexington: Did you have a good sleep last night?

Lexington asked me with a lustful smile for some reason

Evan: Good I guess

Enterprise: What's happening today evan?

Enterprise asked me as we dug into our food

Evan: I've set up the volunteer list for those who wanted to accompany me to Askr. If you're interested write your name down on the list

Illustrious: I see Evan sama

Evan: it's at the news board around the anchor fountain

Enterprise: Right

Evan: however, if you both write your names down on the list, only one of you will go. The other will have to stay behind and lead the others in my absence since you both are my secretary and vice secretary ships

I said, looking at Enterprise and Illustrious

Enterprise: Understood

Illustrious: mou

Illustrious pouted a little before going back to her smile

Valiant: How many days will you give us?

Valiant asked me and I pondered for a moment
