The New Commander (Azur Lane x Male Commander)

Episode 17: The New Rank

Narrator:Takeo is now heading towards the library to study with Z23.

*Takeo arrives at the library and sees Z23 waiting for him*

Z23:"Jeez...took you long enough."

Takeo:"Uh...my bad."

Z23:"Whatever, come on."

Takeo:"O-Ok then."

*Z23 gives Takeo a stack of books*

Takeo:"Oh god..."

Z23:"You're gonna have to read all of these by tomorrow."

Takeo:"Wait, tomorrow?!"

Z23:"Correct."

Takeo(mind):What the hell?!

Takeo:"Ugh...alright then, fine."

*I grab the book at the top and realize the cover*

Takeo:"Uh...Z23? Why am I reading a book about you?"

Z23:"W-Well, don't you want to know more about me?"

Takeo:"That's not what I meant. Why am I reading a book about you when I can just ask you?"

Z23:"Huh?! I-I didn't really think of that..."

Takeo(mind):Even a smart girl like Zed misunderstands stuff?!

Takeo:"Alright, if you want me to learn about you, tell me about yourself."

Z23:"Ah! You really want to know?"

*Z23's face blushes a bit*

Takeo:"Sure, you were the one who said I should learn more."

Z23:"O-Ok, but if you laugh at something funny about me, I'm gonna slap you."

Takeo:"O-Ok."

Takeo(mind):Jeez, what's with this hostility.

*Z23 talks with Takeo, and they read about other ships as well*

Takeo:"Alright, anyone else we should look at?"

Z23:"How many have we read so far?"

Takeo:"We've read 5 books about different ships, and they were all in the Iron Blood section."

Z23:"Oh yeah, which ones caught your eye?"

Takeo:"Well...whoever this Prince Eugene is, she sounds like a ship I would think would dominate on the battlefield."

Z23:"Uh..."

Z23(mind):The battlefield wouldn't be the only she'll dominate.

Z23:"I-I don't really recommend having her on the fleet though."

Takeo:"Huh? Why?"

Z23:"U-Uh...is there anyone else that interested you?"

Takeo:"What about...Admiral Hipper sounds like a cool ship."

Z23:"Ugh..."

*Z23 hits Takeo on the head*

Takeo:"Ow! What was that for?!"

Z23:"You wouldn't like either of them."

Takeo:"Why?! Is it because of their personalities, or something?"

*Takeo starts reading about the Iron Blood ships' personalities*

Takeo:"Oh..."

Takeo(mind):I've changed my mind...I don't wanna meet them!
