Azur Lane: Land To Sea.

8: Taken Back

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

After the events yesterday, a new day is here. And new more craziness waiting to happen. This time, Akashi is in Caster's office to talk about the "sci-fi lego blocks" that Caster was thinking about since yesterday.

At this point, Caster already explained his definition of "sci-fi lego blocks" to Akashi who sat there really confused since his explanation was very convoluted. It's not that rare for Caster to mess up explanations anyway. Akashi in no one's surprise, she kinda chuckled because the explanation was so bad.

But she knew what he was talking about. It's the:

"Wisdom Cubes," Akashi replied to Caster. "It's not the whatever you said earlier nya." With a trace of laughter within her tone. 

"Wisdom Cubes... At least I don't have to call it something that it isn't... What does it do?" 

"It can revive fallen ships nya." She answered in a simple, concise manner. But however, this wasn't enough for Caster. Actually, he was confused. 

'Revive?! Now, that's possible?! Now, that's a resource we could definitely use a lot of.' He stroked his chin... 

"Also nya, you told me to research the new weapons yesterday right?" 

"Yeah, what about it?" Caster asked.

"That has a fee." Akashi's face turned into a slightly greedy expression. 

In no one's surprise, Caster paid a price for the tech research. A steep one at that. Akashi assured Caster that the tech will be brought back to him in three days. Akashi excused herself since she has more business to do outside the office. And she left Caster there alone doing more reading.

The books he was plowing through was giving him more and more knowledge and about the ship classes that exists here. And so he isn't limited to only knowing Destroyers and Cruiser ships. Good for him.

But as he was about to finish a book about Essex-class ships, he was greeted by Belfast and came into the room looking like she needs something.

"Master, we need you in the cafeteria. It's a meeting..." Belfast bowed to Caster in which he stood up.

'Oh, how wonderful... I was about to finish the book.' He mentally groaned. 'What is it this time?' 

If you didn't know already, he was getting irritated by the sheer amount of disruption he has getting since the start of his tenure as Commander of Azur Lane. Every day was eventful, and him getting injured ALL THE TIME. It's no surprise he was getting very exhausted by it and his stress will only get worse if it keeps going.

Belfast escorted Caster to the cafeteria in which it was empty.

"Why the cafeteria empty?" Caster looked at Belfast.

"It's a meeting... I can assure you it won't be long, Master." Belfast helped Caster sit down on one of the seats. 

The two were alone in the cafeteria and Caster was getting confused and impatient at the same time. But after a little bit, Enterprise and Hornet came into the cafeteria and the 2 sat across from Caster. From what he had read, these two are included in the "Yorktown-class" Aircraft Carriers.

"Good afternoon you two..." Caster greeted the two and Belfast bowed to Enterprise and Hornet too.

"Good morning, Commander." Hornet nodded to Caster.

Enterprise, however, didn't respond to the greeting. Another silent girl... He really can't get any of the girls' attention even if he spells it out to them that he wants to talk. He already misunderstood one thing with the survey thing. Now, this misunderstanding now.
