A/N: Okay this is my first time posting fanfic here. Honestly, I am an amateur writer although I want to share my love of writing stories. But big shoutout to my fellow SKKs Conway , Maikeruu and Lio who helped me writing this story (This is out of fun btw).

"Ugh! Chapter 3-4, why won't you drop Akagi?!" A man with short hair and 5ft. height groaned out loud inside the closed restaurant, he was almost in a near begging state just to get the character he wanted in the game.

"Well it took me a month before I even got Akagi, like literally after I got my 100 affection Enterprise, she dropped during my lunch break." A woman with medium sized hair and 5'4ft. height said as she wipes the table where the man's arms are leaning on. He groaned out loud for not getting Akagi for the past 25 months.

"How many Kagas did you get?" The woman asked while she's washing the towel, she seemed to have an intention to give her condolences for his painful experience in the 3-4 map.

"Enough to limit break nine Kagas." He answered then their attention went to the opening of the main door where two men went inside wearing their own respective casual clothes.

"Yo, it seems our Maikeru boy got unlucky again." A man wearing his usual blue hoodie pat Maikeru's back out of sympathy for his pain while retaining his snarky smile. Then he sits down to a stool then raised his hand, "A glass of Jack Daniel's, Hrist."

"I am not a bartender, bro and we don't serve alcohol here otherwise, I'm dead." Hrist humoredly replied as she served him a glass of water then resumed her cleaning of other glasses, "Cole and Rein, how's life?"

"Dead." Cole answered straight to the point as he finished a whole glass of water like chugging a whole bottle of alcohol. Meanwhile Rein cooly sits down to another stool next to Cole in which Mirani serves him a glass of water.

"Well apparently I've been busy writing new stuff."

"As usual, you're a dedicated writer. Meanwhile Cole here, perhaps busy with his gun." Hrist said as she cleaned up everyone's glass before removing her white apron, "Gimme 5 minutes, then we'll go."

"Humph!" Maikeru stretched his arms high as they left the restaurant and proceeded to go somewhere to hang out. Cole as usual placed his hands to his pockets and Rein pulled out his phone to play the mobile game Azur Lane.

"So, Hrist, planning to spend another cash for Azur Lane? I mean those new Ironblood skins were hmhmm spicy." Rein asked while his attention was on his phone playing.

"I don't think so. I need to save up to get the bed I want." Hrist answered as she counted her money from her wallet. She didn't make any visible expressions regarding her budget, "Besides, I've spent more than I could imagine already. However, I must wait for more elegant skins like the party dresses. But- TEMPTING!"

"How about you Cole? I know you're more into hulala spicy." Rein smirked as he slap Cole's back.

"No money, unless my waifu, I am willing to spend." Cole replied then he suddenly rubbed his hands together, "I don't mind spiciness." If only he could unleash his red laser eyes that is the best explanation they could imagine to his reaction.

"Guys, where are we going to hang out? Rein's house?" Hrist asked as she turned her gaze to him waiting for his answer.

"Want it guys? Sure, we'll just order some pizza and even bottles of alcohol." Rein agreed with the idea and the guys nod in agreement while Hrist she's just way deadpan. Anyway, as long as they would enjoy the rest of the evening, they don't mind.

After hours of enjoyment, they bid each other farewell before heading to their own separate ways.

Hrist's POV

xxxx

Since I lived around Rein's neighborhood it's easy for me to get home without a hassle. I could hear the sound of the owls as I walked along the streets then I reached my humble home. It's a small house but it's livable, so once I entered the house turned on the lights and I was greeted by my good cat.

"Good to be back. Since tomorrow is my day off, why not a whole day's slack off?" I mumbled as I pet my cat then I put down my things to its proper place, took a quick bath and wore my sleepwear. But before I head to my room, I opened my phone to play Azur Lane just to finish the dailies for the moment and see my secretary kansen named Duke of York.

I wonder why I picked her, cause damn she's too charming even though she speaks strange words and has some monopolizing tendencies, can't help but to understand it. Although at the same time, I could run for my life if I even interacted with one of her sisters. Also, she's a vampire… Huh… Now, I mentioned it, I like mornings more than evenings, but knowing vampires- Well enough of mulling! Hrist, stop imagining things and finish what you need to start and sleep.

Maikeru's POV

I went to the train station since it's my only transportation on my way home around this hour since it's already midnight. I opened my phone to play Azur Lane as I wore my earphones while I'm waiting for the train to come. Once I passed the Main menu of the game, I was greeted by Ark Royal, my current secretary well thanks to Hrist changing it. I kept on telling her I'm not a lolicon, I am simply getting spooked by lolis out of nowhere.

But anyway, I'll just change it back to Prince of Wales since she's my shipfu. The reason why I like Wales, it's because she's cool and beautiful also she's been my first SSR in the game so can't deny that. Although, I know she likes Eugen and is subtle about and- Geez, Hrist, control your Ironbloods more!

Then I can hear the train come by to pick up some passengers left, so I went inside and sat somewhere away from the small crowd. Thanks to my work, I could only play Azur Lane around evening and sometimes weekends. Hopefully I will stay f2p as long as I can.

Cole's POV

It seems Maikeru didn't see me since we're only on the opposite side of the seat. Geez, Maikeru, you completely ignored me! But anyway, I'll just open the game and hopefully I can get Jintsuu at this point. However- all my ships are still unprepared for auto. Hopefully my manual play could do it.

Then I just realized, I have forgotten to ask Rein about the next chapter of his writing. Meh, I'll just ask him tomorrow through text. Then my stop is here. I got out of the train and went on my way home.

However, since I was greeted by Howe. It is time to be MOTIVATED! Once I reached my house and dropped all my things, I proceeded to play AL before I headed to bed.

Rein's POV

xxxx

Well after the hangout, I took a bath and wore my sleepwear afterwards I went to my laptop to do my writing. I know, I have no time to do my AL since I've been busy doing my work. Geez, how many days since I last played? A week? I can't clearly remember sadly, but I just hopefully they're fine. Also, why not I request Hrist to handle my account for awhile in AL since it's been a very long time-maybe that should do. I'll just let her screenshot the letter from Akashi.`

So I messaged Hrist about it, she's fine with it- she'll be using another device for my account. Thank goodness, I know she's reliable with this kind of situation. However, all my kansens please forgive me for not being with you for the past few days. However, I can't deny- what if the kansens went to this world and surprised us.

I hope to see that one day and hopefully we could share the same shipfu or not. Whatever maybe, I'll just write this idea on a piece of paper. That also reminds me I need to discuss with Hrist about some theories from AL as well before I go to sleep.

Somewhere afar in the ocean, there are alien ships clad in black with sinister glowing red lights appearing from a portal and starts chasing the girls wearing similar outfits with rigging on their backs who just got out from the same portal they went through. They keep firing their shells and AAs to defend themselves from being chased.

"We've been separated from the rest of the fleet, damn, if only our commanders knew of our current situation at this point." Prince of Wales muttered as she mustered her strength to dodge the enemy shells as possible while her rigging was visibly damaged.

"Wales, do not fret. We can pull this through." King George V encouraged her while they're still fighting the enemy, she understood that her sister isn't good at defending herself from planes. Without any escort, they are very vulnerable to other attacks.

"Big sister George, I found an island up ahead, if we succeed in repelling the Sirens, we could stay there to recuperate!" Howe said then George looks up ahead and it's true, there is an island for them to stay for a while to relieve some strength. Then George smiles for her little sister's suggestion.

"Very well, let us proceed then. Yorkie, I suppose you could aid me, correct?"

"Yes, I shall help thou for they have not left us for an hour." Duke of York agreed then she looked back to see a few Sirens left to chase them; this made her grin, "Perfect." she pointed her turrets to the Sirens. They all roared their shells upon their enemies even the Siren planes were obliterated, until after half an hour, they confirmed they were safe.

They sheltered themselves to the island up ahead and checked all their ammunition, luckily they have at least good for two skirmishes but their rigging's condition clearly needs some repairs. They discarded their riggings to manifest their ships somewhere concealed to help them relax for a bit. They're currently on the beach side from the other side of the island.

"Should we send out some distress signal?" Howe asked as she prepared to give out their location to a certain frequency.

"It is not wise to execute, we are in a foreign territory. As well, it is peculiar yond the Sirens hath us here." Duke of York said as she looked around to their surroundings, they concluded they're around a tropical island.

"Alright… I'll stand by then." Howe replied as she discarded the action from earlier then George still pondering where they are since she's still standing still. Meanwhile Wales is sitting down to the beach's sand and sighs.

"Well, if we're lucky- our distress signal could reach the base or someone from our fleet." Wales said then George overheard her and spoke.

" I do want to do that however- I don't think it's possible and-" before she could finish her comms rang then clears her throat, "Please excuse me."

George went to her vessel and checked on the terminal who messaged her despite being in a foreign land or possibly in an alien world disguised as a human world. She checked the details only to see the location of her commander which made her confused. Without a recon plane or even help from their fleet it will be hard time for them to search and to analyze their situation. However, she also deduced it is a safe signal as well.

"It is possible that my commander has been taken away since he hasn't been in the office for 30 days…" She frowned as she thought of her commander's disappearance, "Commander L30N- huh… How did this happen…? Is this really his signal…?" She doesn't know whether to take the risk or not as well she's confused. Not before long, Wales called her.

"George, we have received a strange signal-" Wales boarded George's vessel and extended her the notes regarding the signal they've been receiving. George examined the whole notes and it became very clear to her that they're receiving the same signals but with their own respective commanders.

"We've been receiving a rather similar case. Perhaps- if this signal will bring us to our commanders then-we could assume that they're closely related to each other." George deduced that made Wales nod to her assumption.

"What shall we do? Shall we risk going in there?" Wales asked she's also skeptical about this, however she has complete faith with her sister whenever she decides to do this mission.

"I think we should. Even though this is a very dangerous mission however we cannot risk them to be taken by the Sirens as well." George said as she put her hand to her chin then she looked to Wales with a determined look, "Let us tell this with our sisters."

Once they meet up with the rest, Duke of York seems to anticipate them after all, they took their time.

"Forsooth our sisters took their time." Duke of York remarked as she saw Wales and George arrived. She crossed her arms, "Doth some one hath a courage wend towards the signal?"

"We will go there together if we anticipate it's safe." George said this made Duke of York raised her brow.

"Why? isn't all's hither alien? There art nay safe land lest we hast explored and mingled with the masses. Belike, from there we shall hast our answer."

"In the end, it's a risk for us to take, George. I believe Howe thinks the same, right?" Wales assumed as she looked at Howe who is currently silently listening to their conversation.

"Umm… I believe big sister Yorkie is correct. We should take the risk to go to the signal. Otherwise, we'll remain here until help has arrived. However, I don't think staying will be a viable option after all, we couldn't contact them." Howe expressed her opinion then George finally reached her conclusion since their arguments were right, they couldn't stay in one place for long.

"Very well, we will approach this signal. However, we must know where to dock our ships without raising suspicions." George said, "Have we all reached an agreement?"

"Aye!" The three agreed in unison which made them all make their preparations before heading towards the unknown.
