Family is Stronger Than this Feud

Rirakkusu

Yamato: Umm...Kurfürst-sama?

Kurfürst: Yes Yamato?

Yamato: Can I ask why you're doing this?

Kurfürst: Hmm...no

On their way home, Yamato tried to force herself to go faster, as to get the injured home quicker without her slowing down the rest of the fleet. Thanks to that however, she blew out an engine and couldn't move her rudders at all.

Yamato:*blushing* Can it at least not be so embarrassing?!

If you're wondering, Kurfürst is carrying her on her shoulders, despite the empress being as tall as her sister, Kurfürst didn't mind the weight and only enjoyed the motherly bonding time.

Maya:...

Chitose: This is such a weird day...

Maya: Agreed

Yamato: Put me down!!

Kurfürst: Nein!
——

Chitose: It feels so good to be home again

Maya: I agree...I'm not sure about the Empress though

Despite the many cries of protest, Yamato was still held on Kurfürst's shoulders, her embarrassment getting the better of her, covering her face as many of the girls watch the scene.

Kurfürst: Looks like everyone's safe, so me and Yamato will report in. You all rest well ok?

They saluted and went their separate ways.

Kurfürst:*sigh* They need to lighten up sometimes

Yamato:*still hiding her face* For once, we agree

Kurfürst: I will drop you

Yamato stayed quiet after that. Soon enough, they were inside the shrine and going to the garden area, knowing it was Mutsu's favorite spot.

...

Kurfürst: Mutsu!

Mutsu: You're back!...umm-

Yamato: Don't.Even.

Kurfürst put Yamato down before sitting down herself.

Kurfürst: Well, the fleet was taken down, Maya and Chitose took some damage, while Fubuki is completely fine, albeit a bit scruffed up.

Mutsu: That's good, no major injuries. So how did Yamato do?

Kurfürst: I just told her to observe since she doesn't have actual experience yet

Mutsu: So you decided to tell her huh?

Yamato:*blushing* Shut up!

Kurfürst: Anyway, I'm sorry to say Mutsu, but I have to leave soon

Mutsu: What?! But...no, never mind

Kurfürst: You...accepted that quick

Mutsu: I know how busy you can be, so I don't want to have to keep you

Kurfürst: Thanks for understanding that, but I'll be leaving tomorrow, so I don't mind spending some time with you today

Mutsu: Really?! You will?!

Kurfürst: I will

Mutsu's tails were waving in the wind with her excitement, it was adorable to watch.

Kurfürst: Yamato, Care to join us?

Yamato: Well, I don't want to intrude-

She looked over to Mutsu, who was giving her puppy eyes.
