FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW

While walking with Essex, we talk.

Essex: And that's the reason we were so rude to you.

Me: Well, it couldn't be helped; after all, they were very rude to you.

Essex: We still don't know why out of nowhere they decided to be hostile towards us. We haven't provoked the Empire, but after Sakura and Blood decided to study Siren technology in more detail, out of nowhere they said, "We're separating from your organization and creating our own."

Me: Hmmmm... I see. (It's just like the video game.) Surely, they are preparing to attack us.

Essex: Yes, we also think that. That's why several fleets are coming here as reinforcements, but the forces will arrive in about 2 weeks.

Me: Hmmm, Yes, that is indeed unfortunate.

Essex: Yes, very bad.

Then we continued touring the base. She showed me the dining hall, the gym, the residential area, the commercial area, the port, the factories, the laboratories (excluding the R&D areas), and other less important places.

After going here and there, we returned to the residential area for them to assign me a room. The rooms are divided into two sections, one for Eagle Union and the other for Royal Navy. There are also two residences for the other existing factions, but currently, they are unoccupied because Sakura Empire and Iron Blood have formed an alliance in another coalition. The rest of the factions don't have the time to send diplomatic delegations to other foreign bases because they lack the power to defend their territories.

Essex: Where would you like to go? Eagle Union or Royal Navy?

Me: What do you recommend me?

Essex: I don't know, each dormitory has its pros and cons. In the Royal Navy residence, it's a quite cozy and serious place compared to our residence. The destroyers and some cruisers from our faction are too energetic, and I can't say anything about the NEET Long Island. The Royal's parties are more discreet than ours, but it gets tiring to be elegant and refined throughout the entire party at the queen's gatherings.

Me: Sounds like a headache.

Essex: Tell me about it, once I attended with Sempai, and we could barely endure an hour at most. After that, we discreetly left. The worst part was that the queen forces you to work as her servant.

Fletcher: But I recently heard that the new queen is a bit less egocentric.

Essex: (Doubts) New queen?

Fletcher: Yes, the previous queen had to abdicate because she suffered severe injuries that rendered her unable to use her rigs, and her daughter has taken over the position.

Essex: (Shock) Is it for real!?

Me: Wow, what a plot twist.

Fletcher: That was a year ago. Since you dislike the former queen so much, it's obvious you'd end up ignoring everything about her.

Essex: If that's the case, then it's fine.

Then she guides me to my new room, and after arriving, we say goodbye, and she goes on with her work.

I open the door and enter the room it's a normal British-style room. I'm surprised that it's a personal room. For a base, it's quite luxurious, it seems...

Yamato: (Camera Boss) HOTEL ARIMAZEN!

Me: What!

[Please wait a moment while we resolve this issue.]

I open the door and enter the room it's a normal British-style room. I'm surprised it's a personal room. For a base, it's quite luxurious, almost like a luxury hotel.

I take off my shoes and socks and lie down on the bed. Unlike the bed in the cell, this one is softer and very comfortable. I think I could fall asleep here.

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Ayanami after escaping from Javelin's group of friends, Ayanami takes refuge in a nearby forest to report to the first carrier division.

Ayanami: [Yes, Ayanami reporting in.]

Kaga: [Use the code name we are on a mission.]

Ayanami: [Oh, I apologize... This is Citrus reporting. I've studied the maritime traffic and the base structure. I've sent you all the data via telegram.]

Kaga: [I've received the report. Soon our preparations will be ready. We'll move in 45 minutes.]

Ayanami: [Received]

Ayanami looks at the place with expressions of doubt.

Meanwhile, in the distance from the base, the first carrier division was sailing in Azur Lane waters without permission. So far, they hadn't been detected by any Azur Lane patrol ships, and thus there were no rules they weren't breaking. They sailed in the center of the fleet, flanked by the mass-production Siren fleet.

Kaga: We can move whenever you're ready, Phoenix.

Akagi: Kaga, What do you think is the true meaning of war?

Kaga: I have no idea, Phoenix. By the way, don't forget to call me by my code name.

Akagi: Fufufufu, Okay, Foxy. The answer is War is to hurt, war is to be hurt, war is an endless way of exchanging mutual pain...

At that moment, she sits behind Kaga and hugs her warmly.

Akagi: Through pain, we will understand the feelings of the other side. In other words, war means love.

Kaga looks indifferently at Akagi, and she rises while holding several scrolls in her right hand, and they ignite with an intense blue fire.

Kaga: I don't understand anything about your philosophy I just destroy my enemies... nothing more.

Akagi: (Rising) Fufufu, you're such an unfriendly one...

In that moment, Akagi raises her hand, and a mental cube levitates, colored in intense black.

Akagi: Well, let our war begin...

And so a new war begins...
