Chapter #8: The eagle's journey to the rising sun
Two weeks after the sinking of Dragon Fleet #1 was given the order to pack minimal personal belongings and set sail towards Iwo-to, the main base of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
The plain ocean was the only thing they saw until Hawaii. There they got resupplied and continued their voyage to the IJN base. Sometimes dolphins and seagulls followed them for shorter distances. At the two third of their way...
''Have I seen too much water or do you see that blue patch as well?'' Iowa asked.
''I see it!''
''Me too!''
''Looks like that thing is real.'' Montana said. What they saw was a bright blue line ahead of them.
''If we stay here any longer we fail the deadline of arrival. And I don't want to have a bad start at the Japanese Navy. Do you?''
They were quiet. With a little hesitation the rest of the fleet shook their heads. So they went on.
Two more days flew away until they arrived at the Iwo-to base. Two people stood at the pier, a man in navy suit and a kanmusu.
''Welcome to Japan and the main base of our naval forces.'' The man said, in English. ''My name is Takeda Haremo, but everyone here calls me Admiral, please call me that way. The kanmusu next to me is Nagato, the leader of the girls.''
''Thank you for the warm welcome. My name is Montana, I'm the flagship of this fleet. Let me introduce you the rest of the fleet: battleship Iowa, destroyer Fletcher and carrier Midway."
''Let me ask you a question. USN fleets supposed to have 5 members. Why do you have only 4?"
''She isn't with us anymore."
''I'm sorry to hear that. But where did I put my manners. You must be exhausted. Please go to the docks, put your gear down. Nagato will lead you to the repair station. If you've relaxed a bit, you can go to the cantine to eat something. We've already prepared your room so you don't have to make it."
''Thank you for your hard work, we'll do as you said."
With Nagato in the lead, the girls went first to the docks, then to the repair station. When they stepped into the main room, there was already someone. She stood up and bowed towards the group.
''The USN exploration fleet if I'm not mistaken. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Yamato."
''Hello. My name is Montana and yes you're right, we're the exploration fleet. We came here to find the answer to the abyssal transformation theory."
The girls excused themselves, and after undressing they went back to the bath. They've had a little chat with Yamato and after the refreshing bath the group headed for a small restaurant. After the warm welcome of the mistress, Mamiya, the five kanmusu with the lead of Nagato entered the building.
As they stepped in the restaurant, the clinging of glasses and cutlery stopped while all eyes were focused on them. Nagato showed their seats then went back to the HQ. Mamiya took their orders and headed back to the kitchen.
Some time passed by, their food got served but the other kanmusu were still watching them.
''A bit annoying isn't it?"
''I know what you're saying, Mii, but what would you do if a group of KSM kanmusu would just show up while you're eating?"
''Good point. Look, three of them are approaching."
Indeed, three girls were coming towards them. One with brown hair, one with brown hair and reddish hair ends and one with white hair and pinks hair ends.
''Umm… Excuse me but are you the foreign kanmusu the HQ was talking about?"
''Yes we are."Iowa let out a small snicker''My name is Iowa, she is our flagship Montana, the girl before me is Fletcher, and the shy one in the corner is Midway."
''It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Fubuki, next to me is Mutsuki and on the other side of her is Yuudachi."
''Nice to meet you."
''Nice to meet you-poi!"
A conversation started between them with more and more kanmusu joining the group. This went on until everybody went to their respectful places. The Americans were lead to their rooms where they settled in and stayed there for the rest of the day.
