After checking the file she gave, I reached into a conclusion.

Me: "So, he's the one who kicked me out from Azur Lane."

Hitomi: "Yes, and according to our intel in field, he use that 'device' to control your subordinates."

Me: *sigh* "And that's why the shipgirl acting strange around me."

Hitomi: "What do you mean, sir?"

Me: "They seem to hold a grudge against me, talking behind my back, and walk away from me. And last, they accuse me for harassing and lewd acts."

Hitomi: *shock* "They're so mean."

Me: "But I can't blame them. After all, they're controlled by that man."

Suddenly someone barged in to my room.

???2: "Sir, you must look at this!" *give a file*

Me: "What's this, Akira?"

Me: "What's this, Akira?"

Akira: "This is the latest condition report at Azur Lane's base."

After I look at the file, I shocked for what happened to Azur Lane. Seems the other commander got expelled too because his scheme, leaving him alone as the sole commander of Azur Lane.

Akira: "If this thing continue, the Azur Lane is gonna fall to Templar's hand. Sir, we must strike them first!"

Me: "No, that's too risky. As long he has that 'thing', he can controlling all of shipgirls there. If we using frontal assault, we all gonna get killed."

Akira: "But sir..."

Me: "Patience, young man. For now, we just wait what will happen. You two, keep an eye on the situation at Azur Lane for me. I must make report to the Hideout. Dismissed you two."

Hitomi and Akira: "Yes, sir!"

They both left my office. Shortly after that, a little girl came.

???3: "Hi, sir. I made some progress on my training."

Me: *smile* "Is that so? Okay, after sending this report, I want to see that, Ayaka-chan."

Ayaka: *cheerful* "Yaay!, thank you sir."
