Azur Lane: Land To Sea.

4: Ceremony Of Uncertainty

=================

"Are... Are you kidding me?" As Caster stood up from his chair in disbelief.

"No, I'm not. I know this is a bit overwhelming. Like everything, you've seen so far. But I'm afraid you have no choice..."

Caster... In all of his life, he's taught to take care of himself. Never depending on somebody else to do the job for him. As a soldier, initiative was his calling card.

So on that note, he didn't know what to say or what to do. But Belfast was there. Not moving.

Caster just sighed in defeat. He still can't believe that the life he left behind as he got teleported becomes this. Where everything is here. Served to him in a silver platter.

"Aye. Fine. I'm accepting the personal maid thing..." Caster relented to the maid's request.

"Thank you, Master. I'm looking forward to working with you." Belfast bowed down once again to her "Master".

'This life so far is so deceptively easy. I'm sure the hard is just ahead of me. I can't keep getting comfortable.' Caster told himself, which was true. He is getting comfortable. Maybe too much for one's liking.

Again, drawing comparisons to Caster and a typical Commander, they would just happily accept the request and let themselves get too comfortable. However, again, Caster doesn't fit the average mold of a Commander. He's too different.

"First of all, let's set ground rules. What do you do for me?" Caster asked Belfast who was confused?

"I can clean everything, make your food every morning, and you can ask anything from me. I suppose you already know that." Belfast said to Caster. Who just nodded.

"I'm a bit awkward at this... And this is the first time there's someone helping me in my work. So, do forgive me if I get carried away in some situations." Caster sheepishly rubbed the side of his head.

'He's not what I am expecting. I think we finally found a suitable Commander for the job.' Belfast thought...

"Alright. Is that all, Master?" Belfast asked Caster.

"Actually, don't call me 'Master'. Just call me Caster. Wait, did I introduce myself yet to you?" He asked Belfast again. As he sat on his chair.

"N-no. I don't think you have." Belfast answered surprised the conversation went so far without the upcoming Commander telling his name.

"My name is Edrich Caster. Formerly an Army Commander. I don't know why I added that. Just forget I said that."

Caster didn't wanna flaunt his former status to Belfast. He didn't mean to do that. But Belfast heard all of it. And she got really surprised but kept it to herself. Making a poker face even after what Caster said.

"Your name is Edrich Caster. Unique name." Belfast smiled as Caster was a little bit flattered by the compliment.

"Well, I think Belfast is even more unique. A master-mind could only think a name like that." As Caster leans back into his chair. Caster sighed in relief that the chair is flexible. Not stiff like a stick.
