Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Depth Date. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Azur Lane, Shanghai Manjuu, Ximen Yongshi and a few others do.
The ship known as 'Charger le tonnerre' or Charger grunted as the 2-dozen gun ship slowly stood up and looked around.
"My, such an interesting ship, hmm?" He heard and turned to be nearly nose to nose with a girl who looked to be reclining in a shark shaped throne with a trio of tendrils, 2 black and 1 white. She also wore a white top that barely left anything to the imagination. Her gown was also pale as snow but also exposed her stomach and legs which ended with black and white heels which reminded him of fresh snow.
The blue flames, quartet of canons and small guns didn't help as he shuffled backwards only to be grabbed by another set of tendrils.
"Nope, not running away, silly!" Chaser turned only to almost die blushing all he was able to.
While the first girl had at the very least had something covering her. The few clothing pieces she had were very much meant for water. She had a very black and yellow, it cut off on her stomach, the bikini shorts with a dress made more crimson on his cheeks, her 7 or so tendrils grabbed around him.
She also didn't wear shoes, but the fact that her arms, her stomach, her legs were also bare before Charger pulled away for a moment.
"Stop, that's not regulation!" He hissed before Arbiter floated behind the duo. She was flanked by Purifier who sat on her board.
"He looks like a fighter… Hmm, maybe not much." The girl said before charged aimed a canon attached to his arm at the being.
"Both of you back off… He's our guest… I never expected to see a ship made by the Iris Libre and Eagle Union. I didn't see any such ideas in our simulations when we had a war with them." Arbiter tapped at him with his tentacles which he dodged.
A chuckled with amusement before forcing Chaser to sit, Arbiter looked at him as Chaser looked at the ruler of the Sirens with nervousness.
"I am Arbiter, I am leader of the sirens and one of the strongest beings, these are my Lieutenants: Purifier, the one who irons out the flaws in my plans… A? She is my observer who gathers data and is who one of my strongest soldiers." Arbiter stated as Chaser blinked.
"I am Chaser. Super Cruiser and prototype formed from cooperation of the Alliance with the Iris Libre and Eagle Union." He crossed his legs under him.
"I'm a soldier, you're a ruler. I know of you… Saint Louis and Enterprise warned me you can be a skilled liar and thus you are also a skilled strategist." He said. A rolled her eyes and poked him.
"Stop that, your tendrils are wet from sea water. You might like wet seafood, I don't." A rolled her eyes before Charger hummed and pulled away.
"Great, another sense of humor… Isn't like we have enough of that." Arbiter stated. she crossed her arms and looked at the boy who returned her gaze.
"You're not scared being surrounded by Sirens? You know we're pretty tough and can easily kill you…." Chaser looked at A who had curled her tendrils around her.
"If you wanted to kill me? You would have done it when I was passed out from fighting G and T's forces, cuttlefish… So would hang ten over there… I know your stronger than me, but you still want me to study… It's a lot better to have a captive then a corpse, isn't it?" He asked. He got no answer. He didn't need someone else to tell him he was important.
The technologies used to create him were powerful, they had also used by Sirens, they could sense him and he him.
"Yes… A, keep an eye on him along with Purifier, I'm going to see B and Dreamweaver… The Creator has split the sirens apart and I refuse to serve his designs anymore… We were to Shepard Humanity through simulations… not this." She left the room and he turned to A before he hummed.
"So, what's with the baby squid equipment?" He asked as A hummed and chuckled before Purifier reclined on her board while her drones circled him with amusement.
If Chaser was scared or cared? He didn't show it as the two Sirens looked at him with interest.
He smiled at the duo, unaware that Arbiter was jealous slightly of the other sirens showing such attention to Chaser. She just didn't know it and wouldn't until later down the road.
Arbiter also didn't know that Chaser was the center of the war and that the others be after him down the road. They just didn't know he had been engaged in the battle recently.
Arbiter wondered what the others would talk about at the moment.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Chaser isn't meant to be stronger than everyone, he's not unstoppable. Next chapter will be on next Sunday or so and will show Charger bonding with A and Purifier and Arbiter asking to her war council and the other groups. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
Ps: I will end the poll in 2 weeks.
