AZUR LANE: Reincarnated as JS Izumo.(Translate)

LAST CHAPTER [34]

The fleets of each nation returned to their own bases to prepare reports and assess damages, And time passed. 

One day Izumo is called to Wales' office and when she enters, she sees Wales sitting at her desk. 

Izumo: Good morning? Why did you call me?

Wales: Actually, I have been called by the Sakura Empire. Nagato has told me that they need an additional aircraft carrier to fulfill the duties of the fifth division, and I want you, along with another aircraft carrier of the Casa Blanca class, to take care of that fleet.

Izumo: Substitute functions? Can't the fifth division do that job?

Wales: Due to the investigations into Akagi and Kaga for the crime of treason, currently the fifth division is fulfilling the duties of the Fifth division while the second division is sailing to this base as a diplomatic delegation, so they do not have a suitable aircraft carrier for the role of that fleet.

Izumo: Don't you think it's foolish for two foreign ships to lead your fleet? 

Wales: The peace treaty we signed at the end of the faction war states that it is possible for a foreign ship to lead another country's fleet if the leader and ministers of the faction agree. 

Izumo: I understand, in that case I have no way to refuse.

Meanwhile, Hornet and Hamman went to San Diego to visit Yorktown, but when they arrived at the hospital where Yorktown is, she was not in her bed. Hornet and Hamman quickly went to the reception and asked for Yorktown. The nurse responded that she was taking a walk, so they went to look for her. When they arrived, they were very surprised to see Yorktown standing, and that made both girls very happy.

Meanwhile in the Sakura Empire, Nagato is talking to Shokaku and Zuikaku.

Nagato: We were able to escape this with some sanctions... we were simply very lucky. However, this was a mistake made by everyone in the empire, so we have to regain our honor. We will work hard to restore our image. I want you to replace Akagi and Kaga until all investigations by the judiciary are completed. I hope I can count on you, as the second division is in Pearl Harbor as diplomats.

Shokaku/Zuikaku: Understood! 

Meanwhile, Akagi and Kaga are walking through the academy at the base in the empire. 

Akagi: Do you have the hairpin? 

Kaga: Yes. 

Kaga hands over the hairpin and Akagi places the ornament in Kaga's hair.

Akagi: I already knew that the color matches your hair.

Then both girls continue walking while Kaga is very happy. 

In Iron Blood, Eugen is reporting to Bismark, it's a shame we don't have more minutes of Bismark's scene. 

Eugen: This whole fiasco gives us a bad image for helping the Sakura Empire, all in the name of our country's true ideals...

Bismark: Loyalty is honor... only those with power can save humanity. 

Eugen: By the way, Azur Lane gave us an interesting proposal... 

Bismark: (Interested) A very interesting proposal?

The proposal was that now both factions must share bases like in the old times, the girls are up to their tricks in the base, now all the flags of all nations are flying on the flagpoles.

On the other hand, the scammer Akashi now works as a slave for Shiranui. It seemed that the scamming cat owed a lot of money to Shiranui. It was also seen that many Iron Blood destroyers and empire visitors visited this base. They also kept a close eye on Ark Royal to prevent her from getting out of control.

After some time, the girls gathered to discuss something important. 

Illustrious: Azur Lane and Red Axis sharing a base together... 

QE: It was a very bold move. 

Wales: A new base requires a new commander, someone symbolic who can be a bridge between the two alliances.

Vestal: That sounds very wonderful. 

Hornet: Well, you might not like it very much. It's a headache having her as my older sister. 

Belfast: And a commander like her might need help, so I volunteer to be her secretary. 

QE: (sigh) You just want to be by her side.

Belfast: Hehehehe, I'm not lying to you. 

Meanwhile, Enterprise, who was doing maintenance on her ship alongside Vestal, sneezes loudly. 

Vestal: Bless you, did you catch a cold? 

Enterprise: (Feeling chills) I don't know why, but I feel like something very bad is going to happen to me in the near future.

Vestal: Ah, here we go with the superstitions. 

Meanwhile, in the Izumo Sea, Izumo meets with Bataan. 

Bataan: It's a pleasure to embark on this great adventure. 

I am Bataan, a light aircraft carrier of the Casa Blanca class. Nice to meet you. 

Izumo: Izumo, a multipurpose destroyer of the JMSDF, and I am the leader of my class. Pleasure to meet you. Now let's wait for our eastern escorts before setting sail.

Just at that moment, 4 destroyers belonging to the escort of the fifth division arrived. 

Fubuki: Good afternoon, I am IJN Fubuki, I am the leader of this destroyer fleet and a current member of the fifth division. 

Izumo: JS Izumo, I will act as the leader of your fleet until Nagato-sama says otherwise. 

Bataan: I am USS Bataan, I will be the XO of the fleet until your empress says otherwise, it is a pleasure to work with you.

Izumo: Please rest and tomorrow we set sail. 

Akatsuki: Don't worry, we have already rested on our ships before anchoring in port, we have also eaten, so don't worry, we can leave right now. 

Izumo: Alright, in that case, let's go. And so the fleet began its journey to the empire, Izumo looks excited thinking about the adventures that await her in the future as she watches the sun start to set on the horizon.

The end
