The light beaming through the stained glass catalyzed the creation of a curtain of colors that showers the altar and everyone on it. The beautiful music decorating the hall that bring peace, happiness, tranquility, and joy to everyone that hear it. The thousands who have gathered and willingly take the role of the witness for this ceremony. I couldn't be more happier for how perfect everything is but nothing could beat the happiness from the fact that I was marrying her, the love of my life.
"Do you both pledge to share your lives openly with one another, and to speak the truth in love? Do you promise to honor and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together, through sorrows and joys, hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives?"
""We do.""
The priest's speech is nothing more than a background noise as me and my soon-to-be wife tenderly look each other at the eyes. That purple eyes suck every fiber of my being in its beauty making me almost forget her other beautiful features. Her long gorgeous blue hair could be seen running down her back through the white transparent veil that she is wearing. The white wedding dress that she wears hide and yet, at the same time, showcase her amazing figure. [1]
Simply put it, I'm the luckiest being that have and will ever live.
"Do you pledge to share your love and the joys of your marriage with all those around you, so that they may learn from your love and be encouraged to grow in their own lives?"
""We do.""
The only wish I have right now is to have this same feeling everytime I wake up next to her. To feel the same love, the same gratitude, the same happiness, and the same feeling of completeness… is my one and only wish. Never in my life do I feel so perfect, so calm, excited, privileged, happy, joyful, enthusiastic, elevated, thrilled, fortunate or gifted other than when I'm next to her.
"May these rings be blessed as a symbol of your union. As often as either of you look upon these rings, may you not only be reminded of this moment, but also of the vows you have made and the strength of your commitment to each other."
These rings… I could recall the time I show her these rings… I could remember my nervousness… My fear of being rejected… being denied… and most importantly, being alone. I could remember the sleepless nights I had to go through just because this pair of precious accessories was in the same room as me. I could only laugh at that me for his cowardice as I am now standing a couple of months in front of him.
I wonder what will happen if I chicken out at that time?
Heh… Who cares for that man… he isn't me anyway…
"Igo, please repeat after me..."
For a brief moment, I turn my attention elsewhere.
"I, Igo, promise to love and support you, Helena, and live each day with kindness, understanding, truth, humor, and passion. With this ring I thee wed."
I bring out the rings and grab Helena's elegant left hand. Her hand, clads in the purest whitest silk, was perfect. The size, texture, temperature, and more importantly, its owner is perfect. I almost want to put it away because of how different her hands were compare to mine but I knew she wouldn't like it. This is the hands that comfort me, push me through the hardest of times, and pull me up whenever the world punch me down.
And this is the day where I will put a ring on its finger.
I carefully push the finger onto her finger as I recite the vow. With each word that came out of my mouth, the same feeling that I got this morning keep resurfacing itself. I don't know if there's a word for it but if I have to put it into a sentences…
"I couldn't believe that this is happening." "I couldn't believe I would be marrying her." "This is not a dream right?!" "What am I going to do?!" "Will she accept me as the person that I am?!" "Will everything turn out alright?!" "THANK YOU, GOD AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE CREATED!"
"Helena, please repeat after me..."
Unlike me, Helena never averted her eyes from me. It makes me feel sinful for even taking a brief look away from her earlier.
"I, Helena, promise to love and support you, Igo, and live each day with kindness, understanding, truth, humor, and passion. With this ring I thee wed."
Helena repeat everything but with more elegance and kindness. My eyes couldn't leave the ring that is slowly drifting inward. All the pushes, the cheers, the kicks, the punches, the laughs, the tears, the yells… All of that is behind me now. I could never say it out loud or even think about it, but… I'm glad that I had those assholes as my friends.
"Go now in peace and live in love, sharing the most precious gifts you have-
the gifts of your lives united. And may your days be long on this earth.
I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
I carefully move closer to her and brings my face an inch ever so closer. I have done this times and times again and yet, why is my heart beats faster than it ever has? Was it because everyone was watching? No, I have kiss her in front of everyone before. So why?
"…It's okay, darling…" Helena? "I have said it once and I will say it as much as needed." Yeah, the magic words that she uses to push me forward. "I love you… I love you from the deepest part of my heart…" Yeah and it's my duty to return the favor.
"I love you too, Helena." With that final push, we finally kiss as husband and wife.

""Congratulation!"" Cheers erupt in unison. Ouch… I think my ears were damaged on that blast. Still, for everyone to come to my wedding… I must be lucky. Honestly, I was afraid that only a few people could make it but now I'm afraid that I have enough of everything to accommodate everyone.
"Congratulation Helena!" The first one to approach the bride was her sister or should I say, my sister-in-law, Louis. She was wearing a very… let's just say grand… dress. Grand from the materials that it used and from how little does the dress cover. [2] "And you too, com—Ah! I should start calling you Igo from now on, no?"
"You can call me whatever you like, Louis." I know how hard it is to erase habit especially the one that you have been doing for a very long time. I wouldn't deny her the right to call me her commander because for a long time, that is what I was to her. "You're my sister now."
"Ahahaha… yeah, I guess Helena win the war, eh?" Yeah, I know it's sad for you but I would never apologize for loving Helena. She was the one for me. "There's no bigger happiness for me than knowing that my sister has grown to be such a perfect woman," I couldn't agree more, Louis. "and her victory is the biggest prove of that."
"Louis…" Helena sounds like she was about to cry.
"It's okay," Well, Louis is more mature than Helena is so of course she can take it. "I can always be commander's side woman anyway." I should've expect that from her.
"Louis!" Ahahaha~ Helena is still a teasable angel that she is.
"Fufufufu~~" Soon, more girls approach us to either congratulate us or just strike some friendly banter. It was exhausting but it was worth it. It's not everyday that I can talk to everyone like this.
"Congratulation!" This time it was Stella, my ex-girlfriend. "That suit looks nice on you, Igo." It was awkward at first after our break up but honestly, right now our relationship is in the friend level. "Now that you're married, don't go cheating on her, okay?"
"Come on, Stella. I wouldn't do that if Helena doesn't allow me." I mean, she could've stop me from cheating behind her back but she didn't. "But I would call you if she ever said 'yes'." The fact that we can joke around like this mean that our relationship has recover to a healthy degree, sort of…
"Ahahaha~~! Sure! I'll be waiting for your call then." I could tell that she still has some lingering feeling in her heart from her eyes but I couldn't bring myself to ask her. I have already accepted the fact that she will probably marry another man but some part of me want us to return back to the good old day. Will I accept her feeling after this? Will I reject her? What would my answer be? I couldn't decide on a concrete answer so I'm really afraid if she ever reveal her feeling again. "Well, I shouldn't be holding the line. I'll be with the others if you need me." Stella pats me on my shoulder as she walks away from us. I could only watch her back as she walks farther and farther away from me.
"Do you still have some feelings for her, darling?" Of course Helena would notice my feeling. I could only answer my wife's question with a weak nod. "It's okay if you want to spend some time with her to sort things out. I know how close both of you were." Thanks Helena. Maybe I'll take her on that offer but not right now. Not on my wedding day.
"…Thanks Helena."
"Mmhhmm~~"
XxX-XxX
"Mmmhhmmm~~ Helena~~ Mmhmmmm~~~" We're finally going to spend our first night together as husband and wife. I have to be honest and say that I'm so excited right now! We get to finally have sex as a partner bounded by marriage… and maybe something else if Helena wants to do something steamy tonight. "Mmhhmm~~ Helena~~"
"Darling~~ Mmhhmm~~ Please stop~~ Mmhhmm~~ Or we wouldn't have enough time~~"
"Are you inviting me, Helena?" I tease my wife and she could only smile naughtily and press on my nose. "Fufufufu~~ All right then, it is my duty as your husband to fulfill your wish anyway." I delicately start undressing my wife like I was opening a gift for christmas. I start from the veil, sleeves, wedding dress, and finally her underwear. I have seen this body multiple times before but there's something special tonight that it makes her body 1000000000 times more beautiful.
"Please let me undress you, darling. I would be doing this from now on so I should start from now." I guess she is right. I let pull my hands away and let Helena undress me. It didn't take long for Helena to strip me down until there's not even a single strand of fabric on our body.
"So… normal or do you have any fantasy that you want to fulfill, my love?" I push Helena down onto the bed and loom over her. I couldn't believe my wife's gentle face will be tainted by carnal pleasure tonight. The gap in expression would be unreal.
"Let's do a normal one round and then… fufufufu~~ You can do whatever your heart desire, honey." My wife pull herself upward and make herself comfortable on our bed. Not only comfortable, but also seductively inviting.
"My~ My~ It seem that I marry an actress~~ Was it hard to play innocent, honey?" I climb up the bed and loom over my wife again. "Fufufufu~~" I place my hand on her knee and gently move it upward. Helena's body jolt when my hand reaches her succulent thighs. "Come now, you don't need to act pure when you're with me?" I keep pushing my hand up and reach the heaven's gate. "Oh my~~ Look at how wet this place is~~?" She really looks forward to this, huh… "The priest said that 'Do you both pledge to share your lives openly with one another, and to speak the truth in love?' so why aren't you being honest to me?"
"Mmhh~~ Ahn~~ Because there's nothing else for me to tell you, darling~~" Helena pulls my face and plant her lips on mine. "Because you understand me, right darling?" Of course I do. That's the reason you marry me, right?
"Then open your mouth and let me hear your beautiful moans~" My face travels down and stop right above her boobs whose nipples are pointing toward me. "Ahahaha~~ Why can't you be more honest like your body, honey?" At first, I did a playful nibble on her right boobs before fully committing to it.
"Ah~ Ahn~~ Ah~~ Uh~~" I could finally hear her cute yet sexy moans as she let herself free. Helena wraps her arms around my head and pull me tighter into her. "Ahn~~ Uh~~" I nibble on her nipples, leave some bite marks all over her boobs, smear her body with my saliva and generally just being a horny freak. "Fufufufu~~ Are you really satisfied with just my breasts, darling?"
"Hmm? Why don't you say what you really meant, honey?" I don't like that I'm the only one who is honest to himself. She has it in herself, the perverted side of hers. Although not as bad as mine, she is there. "Come on now, what do you want me to do, honey?"
"Mou~~~ You're a naughty boy~~" I am. "Alright then, if that's what you wanted." Helena pushes my head away from her body and bring it near her face. With a face full of lust, my wife whisper to me her magic words. "Fuck me in my pussy, darling~~" I can't believe those words just come out of my pure wife's mouth.
"I guess it is my duty as your husband to fulfill your wish." I joke around and fix my position. I pull my upper body away from Helena and straighten my body. "Slowly or would you want me to just jam it in?" Helena didn't answer me. She just playfully sticks her tongue out to mock my confusion. Alright then, no more mister nice husband. I position the tip right in front of her labia. "Oh my~~ My wife is being disobedient~~ I guess I should CORRECT HER!" I jam it in as deep and hard as I can and by how my wife's body jerk up, I can tell that she is feeling it.
"AAAHHNN~~"
"My~ Are you not going to DEFEND yourself~~?" I pull my waist and then ram it forward just like how I did earlier. Once again, my wife's body react violently from the sensation. I know where her G-spot is and I make sure to stimulate it everytime I ram my penis in. "You're being PUNISHED, you know?"
"AAAHNN~~ AHN~~ AAH~~ AH~~" I guess no vanilla play. It's hardcore time.
I pull my snake out of his rightful nest for now, turn Helena's body around before inserting my snake back into her. I then lay my body on her back and keep myself tight above her by circling my left arm around her neck and my right hand on her head. "Time for your disciplinary lesson, darling."
The bed creaks and croaks like there was no tomorrow. Several times while I was punishing my wife, I was worry that the bed would just collapse under our intense mating session. I'm certain that we would need to buy a new one after this because this bed would be in a state of utter destruction after our first night if we keep going at this pace.
Well… the one that I should be more impress is my wife. She was still able to keep herself conscious. Although, I'm using the term 'conscious' here, very loosely. She was grunting, moaning, screaming, and cumming as if her life depends on it. Her body crook, twitch, vibrate, quake, and sweating that it takes me almost all my concentration to just keep my body on top of her. I believe that my wife is threading the line between staying awake and cumming-herself-to-sleep.
I, myself, was also having the time of my life. My one and only goal right now is to fuck Helena so hard that she won't be able to walk at all tomorrow. Not only that, I also make a deposit several times on her sperm bank, namely her womb, and making sure that my sperm would fill every inches of her womb.
That night, we mate all night long. Yes, I know what I said. We MATE. What we did all night long was so animalistic that the word 'mate' is the only appropriate word to describe it. I wouldn't be surprise if there was a hidden camera from The National Geographic Channel somewhere in this room, recording our mating session, and then they'll broadcast it while having David Attenborough narrating our entire action.
That would be fun.
XxX-XxX
"…Sigh… please let me be your baby, Igo." My ex-girlfriend is now crying her eyes out next to me. I can't believe that she is saying that to me. "I'm just so fucking busy all the time that I just want to—AAAAAAHHH!" She suddenly stands up from the sofa which cause me to flinch.
"Calm down~~ Calm down~~" I rub Stella on her shoulder to try to calm her down. I slowly pull her down and convince her to sit back down. "At least you get to go around the world for free, right?" I mean, we did kinda do that a lot in the war too but HEY! I'm trying to calm her down, okay?! "Remember all the fun things you got to do while going around the world?"
"All… the fun… things…" Stella slowly lower her ass back to the sofa but even when her big ass was as endearing as ever, my attention was mostly focus on her face. That empty, pale expression that she is wearing tell me everything that I need to know about what is going on her head. "UUUWWWAAAAHHHH! IIIIGGGOOO!" I open my arms unconsciously and Stella instantly dive into my lap. How many times have I done this before that I subconsciously open my arms whenever Stella looks sad? Well, I was her boyfriend for a long time so I shouldn't have asked that question. "THEY'RE SO MEAN TO ME!"
"Ssshhhuuuussshhh~~ Calm down, Stella~~" Never in my life do I feel gratitude for being conscripted instead of officially joining the military. Several months after the war has ended, the top brass of the UN's military decided to let the conscripts, people like me, decide their own fates. They can either officially join the military or just go home and receive pension funds. Of course the amount of money isn't a lot so people do need to get a money-earning job but it's not so little that at the very least, people can live happily while having a minimum-wage job. "I know you're tired and all but crying would just make you more tired." At that time, I decide to leave the military behind me.
"Why do you have to leave?! At the very least, I can enjoy having you by my side as I get tortured going around the world." That would also torture me, woman. Talking about me leaving, saying it was super extremely hard is understatement. The Navy was very reluctant on letting me go that they were willing to pay me literal stacks of golds just to keep me with them. Truthfully, I was thinking about it but decided not to. "Please let me be your baby!" They probably want my reputation as 'The Commander' or something like that. I forget all the nicknames they gave me but that sticks to me for some reason.
"I will kill you if you try to get into Helena's stomach." During the war, the existence of shipgirls was revealed to the public and along that was my existence too. I remember how troublesome everyone was at that time and I'm glad that I'm off the hook now. Being a high-profile individual, my opinions mean a lot to people and I mean, a fucking a lot. I remember one time I was telling the press about my opinion on cheese and people were debating it like crazy for like, months! "Sigh… can you ask them to like, give you some holidays?"
"I DID TRY!" Ooopps... Seems like I step on a landmine. "But they always say that they need my reputation and words to help their cause!" Fufufufu~~ I understand what she meant by that. That same reason is the same reason why I decide to leave the military after all. A single word from our mouth would weight more than 10000 words coming out of anyone's mouth to the point that the UN literally pays me monthly fee to basically shut the fuck up about politics and all sort of sensitive matter. Honestly, the UN doesn't need to pay me to shut up because that's my initial plan anyway but hey, money is money! "I mean, I understand they want me to be there to calm people down as they try to rebuild part of the world but still, can't they at least let me get like, a week or two to rest?!"
"Alright, alright~~ How about we stop talking the bad part about this and start talking the good part, hmm?" Stella weakly nods her head. "Fufufufu~~ So how is the girls doing?"
"Hmm…" Since I decide to settle down, the only way I get to know about the others' situation is through their Juustagram posts, DMs, and the girls' frequent visit but that's it, unlike Stella who always goes around the world and meet the girls personally. "To put it simply, everyone is doing what they wanted to do." Glad to hear that.
As we were talking to each other and was submerged in the atmosphere that we created, Helena walks into the room while sleepily rubbing her eyes. "Oh… Ah! Stella!" My wife was just sleeping when Stella came so of course she would be surprise about her being here. "AH! I'll make some drink!"
"Don't worry, Helena. I already did that." I signal my wife to sit next to me, on the opposite side of Stella. "Come here and sit down. Didn't I tell you not to push yourself?" Helena nods her head and then sits down next to me and rest her head on my shoulder. "How are you feeling today? Do we need to go to the doctor? We can use Stella's car."
"Sure, but it's a sport car Igo. Do you think it's safe for Helena?"
"Not if you suck at driving." Stella pinch me in my waist for that. "Ouch!"
"Ahahahaha~~ Both of you is as close as ever." All thanks to you, my love. If Helena doesn't give me time to sort things out with Stella then we might not be this close right now. "I'm okay, darling. Lena has been a good kid." My wife said as she strokes her big belly.
"Lena? So that's the baby's name, huh?" Stella brings out her phone. "Mind if I take a selfie and post it on Juustagram? I want to inform the other." I turn my head toward Helena and she just shrug her shoulders while smiling.
"Sure."
"Cool!" Stella position her phone so that all 3 us would be on the frame. "Smile!" She takes the photo and then post it on Juustagram with the caption 'Meet Lena today! Hopefully she doesn't take after her father!'. This bitch! "There!"
"So Stella, how has the other been doing lately?"
"Well," Stella then start telling us stories about all the shipgirls that she met lately. After the war, Hood said that she would like to collect antique and unique books from all around the world and now she is doing that while being accompany by several royal girls like Repulse, Renown, and Victorious. Prinz Eugen owns a winery on the South of Iron Blood where she is trying to engineer the perfect cup of wine. The process is so scientific that it should actually be called a laboratory instead.
Enterprise is doing a tour across the Eagle Union on her bike and I believe she is accompanied by Essex, Bache and several other Union girls. They posted the map and what places they will be visiting on Enty's Juustagram not too long ago and one of those places is my home. Guess I should start preparing for their arrival. Littorio decide that she would like to see more 'splendor' of the world, whatever that is, and decide to go on a tour of art museum across the world. Don't worry, Stella said that Duca, Pola, Zara and several other Sardegnian girls are with her so she wouldn't cause that much of a problem.
Atago and Takao decide that they would like to experience high-school life and enroll into one. I'm pretty sure that was Atago's idea though and Takao was just dragged into it. The last time Stella checked, Richelieu was still doing her cardinal jobs at the Iris Orthodoxy while her sister, Jean Bart, was hanging around on the South of Iris Orthodoxy. I have no idea what Jean Bart is doing down there but if she is enjoying herself, then sure.
The Northern Parliament girls are still busy transforming their country though. They learn that the biggest strength of the Northern Parliament was the Siberia wilderness that help them so much in the war. The Northern Parliament are now focusing their rebuilding and development on that side of the country. The Dragon Empery girls are also on a world tour but for foods. They said that they want to taste all kinds of foods from all around the world. That's a task that won't be finish for a long, long time.
In conclusion, all the girls are now starting to enjoy being a 'human' for the first time after having to be a 'weapon' for almost their entire life. This could happen only because they've been 'decommissioned' from the Navy. This mean that the girls aren't allowed to use their riggings outside of self-defense but then again, only dumbass would try to attack a shipgirl knowing how easy it is for them to crush a human skull using their strength.
"Fufufufu~~ I guess everyone has been busy lately."
"From the look of it, so does you two." Stella was looking down on Helena's belly. Well, we were busy before I knew that Helena was pregnant. After that, it was only me who was busy. "Well, I guess I should get going now before those fuckers start calling me again." Stella stands up and then she stretches her body while moaning. Can you not? The 3 of us walks toward the front door and immediately get shower by the salty wind of the sea. Oh yeah, I forget to tell you that I'm settling down on a beach on the west coast of Eagle Union. This way, the girls could easily visit us using their riggings.
"That's an expensive car you got there. Who paid it?" I tease her while smirking.
"Of course who else but the UN." Can't believe she is saying that so confidently and smugly like that. Stella opens the door of her car, which goes up BTW, but before she gets in her car, she turns around and say. "Igo, thank you for being an anchor for all us. There's no words or even rewards that I could give you to represent how thankful I am for having you by my side all this time." …I already have the greatest gift next to me, Stella. "But, can I ask you to keep being an anchor for us? A place for us to return to?"
"Heh, there's a reason why I'm not moving around the world, no?" I'm here not only for my and Helena's purpose but also everyone else. This home isn't only for me and Helena, but also for everyone to come and meet.
I'm the anchor that everyone can come to everytime they feel lost.
I'm the anchor that everyone can go to when they feel sad.
I'm the one that they can come to when they feel alone.
I was, I am, and I will always be Azur Lane's anchor.
"Now go and explore the world. You will always know where to look for me."
"Yeah… Goodbye~" Stella gets into her car and waves at us before she starts the car and ride the car to god-knows-where. It doesn't matter where she is going, what matter is where she will return and that will be this place.
XxX-XxX
Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!

It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time! It's time!
I keep chanting to myself while walking in a circle around the room. It's finally here! The day has come and it feels like I can burst any moment now! What should I do?! What should I do?! WAIT! What I'm supposed to be asking—"What am I going to do?! What am I going to do?!"
"Master Igo, Master Igo, Calm down~ Let's calm down~~" The head maid of the royal maids grabs my shoulder and try to calm me down. Belfast, how could I do that?! My wife is giving birth on the other side of this door right now! By the way, nice clothes you got there. You almost convince me to cheat on Helena with that revealing brown sweater and black pencil skirt. [3] "I understand how you're feeling right now, all of us are but we need to let the doctors do their things and beside, Vestal, Stella, and Louis are with her."
There's no way any of you understand how I'm feeling right now! And talking about everyone. "Can I ask why all of you are here?" I ask to the massive gathering of shipgirls in front of me. I've never see so many shipgirls in one place since the day that Azur Lane was deactivated. Every single nations representative was here.
"You should be grateful that I'm here, servant!" You're as cute as ever, Elizabeth. Do you want to be my adopted daughter? You still got the school uniform that you once used, no? [4] "And I also rent this entire hospital just for you." That's legal?! HOW THE FUCK IS THAT LEGAL!? And also, that's why I don't see any other people here other than us.
"Here commander." KGV comes up to me and hand over a glass of something. The top is clear yellow and the bottom is thick red while the middle is the gradient of the 2 colors. "I have been learning how to make drinks too other than just foods. I hope this could calm you down." Man… she can cook and she can make beverages! She's the complete package. Also…
"They allow you to bring that sword?" I thought hospital doesn't allow weapon and here George walking around with a sword on her hip. I took a sip of the beverage and BOY! Does it taste good!
"It's for safety and formality, commander." She is still calling me commander, huh. I guess I should've expected that coming from a Knight Commander. "For instances, I need to get ready just in case some drunkards decide to make a scene." KGV's eyes were squinting toward a particular group of people.
"Hey~ Why don't you say out loud what you really meant by that?" I hurriedly walk over to these drunkards and snatch the bottle of one of their hands. "Hey! I brew that fair and square!" Shut the fuck up, Eugen! I don't want alcohol to be the first thing my baby smell! Go outside if you want to drink!
"Don't even bother, Igo." Shut up, Wales. You're also drinking from it. I grab her glass and place it on the table. "It doesn't taste that good. You should really go back to making beer, Eugen." I don't give a fuck what she is making, don't drink it here!
"Now~ Now~ Don't be so rude, Wales. Let's give Eugen some time to fix this monstrosity." I grab the glass from Hood's hand and put it on the table. "It's just a tiny bit, Igo." I don't care! I just don't want any of you to drink around here! Also, nice dress that you're wearing there, Hood. Do you have some sort Gala that you'll attend after this or something? I'm surprise she isn't afraid of staining her dress with wine especially from how white it is. [5]
"Come on now, ladies." Yat sen walks into the scene with cute Sheffy behind her carrying a tray with a tea set on it. "It's inappropriate to be drinking alcohol in a hospital, no?" THANK YOU, YAT SEN! Finally, someone with common sense. Sheffy lay the tea set in front of the drunkards and pour the tea on every cups. "Please have a taste. We specifically pick the best quality tea leaves to make this tea."
"The best you say~?" Oh no, here come the Mosshead. Littorio comes over to the table and grab a cup. "I would like to taste the best that the Dragon Empery have." I thought that she is going around the globe to see art but I guess tea brewing is also art depending on who you ask. "Hmm~~ I see~~~"
Now that the drunkard problem has been solved, I can get back to being a nervous wreck. "Igo," Hmm? I turn around and see Richelieu with Algérie standing behind me. "I understand your nervousness so please allow me to help." Richelieu grabs my hand and drag toward and empty sofa before all 3 of us sit down. "Do you remember what you teach me, Igo? About how to calm ourselves down?" I did and it's not like I didn't try! It didn't work BTW!
"Allow me to give you a massage, Igo." Algérie walks behind me and start massaging my shoulders. "Can I be honest, Igo? It feels weird saying your actual name instead of calling you 'commander'." Is it? It's been a long time since the days that she needs to call me that so I assume she has gotten used to it.
"Fufufu~~ I concur Algérie's statement," Really? But she just called me by my name so casually just now. "and I believe everyone is also having that trouble." Both of us turn our heads toward the scenery in front of us.
It's… nostalgic. Seeing everyone gather in one big room, talking, playing, chatting, drinking, and generally interacting with each other like this… It reminded me of those days. It reminded me when I was still an Admiral of Azur Lane. Can't believe I'm actually wishing for everything to go back to those days even knowing how horrible it was for humanity during that war.
"You can call me whatever you want, Richelieu." I was their commander and maybe, I will always be their commander. "I won't be mad at you for calling me 'commander'." It's just a name.
"Thank you, commander~~" Man… fuck! Can't believe I'm actually hoping for the war to return back.
"IGO!" Stella suddenly barges out of the room with a body drenched in sweat. "YOUR BABY IS HERE!"
XxX-XxX
"Oh you look so cute! How about you try this one!" "And pair it with this!" "Oh! Oh! Oh! How about wearing this!?" "Here! I bought you something Lena!" "How about we add this!?" "No~ No~ A beautiful signora like Lena has to wear this!"
"I'm starting to feel bad for Lena." I said out loud I'm watching the girls play dress-up with the now grown Lena. "Hey! Don't push her if she doesn't like it!" I scream at the girls and they reply with a loud and unified 'Okay!'
"That's not good, Igo~~ You sounds like an old man, you know~~~?" What's that Pamiat, your back hurts again and you want me to snap your body in half? Is that what you asked of me? "How about you copy me and try to act like today's kids?" I'm going to break her back like how Bane broke Batman's.
"We're here!" "Here's the Kimono that you order! How about you wear it, Lena?" "You have to apply the foundation properly before we can even move to the other part." "Please wear this glasses, miss Lena. This will give you a look of politeness and elegance." "Master Lena, please stand still." "Give me the blush, Belfast! You don't know shit about applying make-up!" "Oh please, master Stella~~ We both know that you just want to touch Lena's cheeks."
My home has turn into another Naval Base. Not that I'm complaining though. "Hey, if you really as young as you said you are, how about you join them, Pamiat?" I whisper to the granny next to me who was, like me, watching the entire thing from a 3rd person POV.
"Then how about you, commander~~?"
"I'm doing what a commander do."

This is not a dream!
Dido was carrying a silver tray with a complete tea set on it.
You're saying it like this is something bad or something.
A mirage of hopes and wishes that is nothing more than a fleeting dream.
My wife is next to me! AND SO IS MY GIRLFRIEND!
