Chapter 7:

the sea is burning, the ship are sinking, the dream comes to my mind again looking at this scene.

"Am I the one who's did-"

"Nusantara! Irian is calling for you!"

I look at the one calling my name.

"Soerapati..."

"Oah... Looks like there no siren escaped! Good job Nusantara!"

"... yeah... definitely..."

"hmm? Nusantara are you okay? Is there anything troubling you?"

"Eh?! Ah it's nothing! Let's get to Irian now shall we? She definitely has been waiting for quite a time now"

"to Irian it is!"

I'm I the one who did it, Is what I thinking about so deeply, and I scared by the possible power I hold. But keep thinking about this right now will not do anything good for me, let's just keep note on this in my head.

"Nusantara?"

"Yes yes, I'm moving"

"Oh yeah, by the way how you meet them?" I asked as we start moving.

"Them?"

"Yeah those a- ehem, other shipgirls"

"Well, when I and the rest on our way finding the faction you mentioned, we got attack for the third time by siren and finished them off. Not long after that, there a fog with a silhouette of them so we got closer to it and they did as well, then it's revealed that it were them. But before we can do full conversation another siren group attacked us, that was the summary!"

"Oh, so that how"

I look around and see our fleet talking to two of new shipgirls I see, from the look of it and characteristics of both of them, the white hair sleepy girl probably Laffey and the light purple maybe color hair and with spear like that, it's probably Javelin. So episode 1 probably has passed now, which mean Azur Lane is declaring a war against Red Axis, oh wait is it Azur Lane the one declaring or Red Axis, my memories become hazy lately.

"....tara .....santara Nusantara!"

"Uah?! Wha what?"

I look up as somehow when I thinking I was looking down.

"I-Irian...."

She looks mad, can I escape this later on is what goes through my mind in this moment.

"Hah.... Nusantara.... do you know these two people?"

Irian show me the shipgirls behind her, in which I almost getting surprised but I hold my face to not make anything dumb. I observe both of this new shipgirls I see with my own eyes, white hair with flight deck, maid with white hair, both together and kinda tall for me, so this is the real Enterprise and Belfast, fascinating. But I need to play not knowing so Irian didn't suspect me more when we got this far already.

"Who may you both be?" I asked.

"Good day to you, I am Belfast"

"Enterprise"

So Enterprise and Belfast already know each other, but where that's put us in the story. Fog and only selected shipgirls with her, it narrow down to only a few episodes but which one is still unknown now, it can be either the SOS one or they going to help their fleet that in transfer and getting attacked midway. But now I thinking about it again the higher one probabilities is the SOS one right now, but I may be wrong.

"I'm Nusantara, nice to meet you both"

I take a glance at Irian and she nodded to me.

"Now let's back to the topic in discussion and give Nusantara quick recap when she not here yet. First of all, we apologies for the trouble Nusantara has made and any friendly damage will be compensate by us if not by the fact that our base is destroyed and we are currently on the move for new base. So now to the recap of discussion, after I give them the story of our condition, they offering a temporary alliance by joining Azur Lane. In which they will provided temporary base, supplies, and more, in exchange for our power in helping them to-"

"Stop right there Irian"

"Nusantara, my I heard your excuses why to stop me summary of our talk before you came in?"

"They said in exchange for our power they want us to cooperates with them, right?"

"Yes, you're correct"

"Then I asked you Azur Lane, why you need our cooperation and how you'll gonna use our power?"

"To defeated siren"

"Enterprise, can you guarantee it's only to defeating siren?"

I accidentally slipped my thoughts.

"...."

"Nusantara, care to explain it to them?"

"What I want to said is, we will agree with your offer but we had conditions to keep cooperating with us. We will only helping with fighting against siren, and against another shipgirls we will be neutral of it and see from the side. But of course our faction will send each operation one of us to observe"

I look at Irian and she seems happy with my judgement with those smile, good I decided on something great for the first time in this life.

"That conditions, will need to be thinking about thoroughly. So why not we just get back to our base now and talk think further there?"

Belfast giving us a great suggestion, I need to thinking it with Irian if we should following them back to their base, and it seems Irian also want to talk about it as well.

"Nusantara what do you think about that?"

"Hmmm, I guess it's fine but I don't really trust your alliance that much right now. What can you offer if something goes south?"

"We will compensate it"

Irian looked at me and nodded at me, I guess we doing it, first time going to real Azur Lane base.

Few moments later, when we are currently on the move to the base something important hit my mind. Is there Shikikan in this world? Is Shikikan already in Azur Lane base? Is Shikikan exist? Do Shikikan exist? Since when Shikikan exist? Why Shikikan exist? And most important questions, is Shikikan he or she in this world?

Pov Narator

On an island somewhere, exist a military harbor base, in this harbor you can find a warship docked on the port, many shipgirls everywhere, this base under a alliance called Azur Lane has been made to be a base houses the Eagle Union and Royal Navy shipgirls in mind.

And there this one person, sitting on chair looking at the outside from the window at the office on the white building. 

A knock can be heard from the door.

"Get in"

Shipgirls entered the room.

"Wales and Hood, is there anything you need about?"

"We have an unusual case"

"An unknown faction appeared and headed towards this base"

"Are they friendly?"

"For now at least"

"Enterprise and Belfast has been negotiate with them, and it's currently being in hold, as condition from the other party is quite tricky"

"Hmm, ok I will participate in the meeting"

"Thanks you, Shikikan"

"No problem Wales"
