Narrator:Takeo makes it back to Azur Lane with the rest of his ships, but little does he know, that someone is waiting for him.
*Takeo says goodbye to his ships, and goes back to his house*
Takeo:"Alright, hopefully today is a normal day in my house at night."
Takeo(mind):Because I've been getting nightmares back from those nights...
*Takeo turns on the lights in his house, and sees Dido in his room*
Takeo:"Ah! D-Dido?!"
Takeo(mind):Oh no, you've got to be kidding me!
Dido:"Master...I'm sorry for the intrusion, but I just don't want you to forget I'm here for you, and I can help you whenever you need."
Takeo:"O-Ok..."
Takeo(mind):Totally not gonna ask how you got in here...
Takeo:"Quick question...how the hell did you find where I live and brake into my house?!"
Dido:"Belfast told me where you lived on the port, so I decided that I should be master's personal maid."
Takeo:"Oh, that's it?"
Takeo(mind):Well, ignoring all the weirdness about her, having a personal maid could be good for both of us. I get the house cleaned, and she will never feel like she'll be abandoned.
Takeo:"That's all you want, right?"
Dido:"Yes, I just want master's love."
Takeo:"Uh...love is a bit of an exaggeration. I think you just want my attention."
Dido:"That too."
Takeo:"Ugh...fine, you can be my personal maid."
Dido:"Really? Thank you so much, master."
Takeo(mind):This is gonna be a bad idea.
Dido:"So master...what would you like? Your dinner, your bath, or maybe..."
Takeo:"I'm not even gonna let you finish that sentence!"
Takeo(mind):This was definitely a bad idea.
*Takeo goes to the bathroom, and quickly takes a shower*
Takeo(mind):Alright, no Taihou so far...
*Takeo gets out of the shower, and looks out the window in the bathroom*
Takeo(mind):Alright, no Taihou. God, I can't even take a shower properly now without being paranoid!
*Takeo goes to his room, and gets dressed and ready for bed*
Takeo(mind):Might as well say goodnight to Dido.
*Takeo goes to his living room*
Takeo:"Alright, Dido. Goodnight."
Dido:"O-Oh, you're going to sleep?"
Takeo:"Yep, I kinda need a break anyway."
Dido:"A-Alright, you have a good rest, master."
*Takeo goes up to his room, and heads to sleep*
Takeo(mind):So I need to head back to the Royal as soon as everyone is ready.
*Takeo hears a knocking on his door*
Takeo:"U-Uh...y-yeah?"
*Dido opens the door*
Dido:"I-I just came to check on my master before he goes to sleep."
Takeo(mind):Why do I think that she's lying?
Takeo:"Ugh...do you just want to sleep in my room?"
Dido:"Yes! I-I mean...if my master insists."
Takeo(mind):Ok, she said yes in two different ways.
Takeo:"Alright, I'll get a separate bed and you can sleep on that, ok? Don't want anything weird happening."
Dido:"O-Ok..."
*Takeo gets a spare bed out from his closet*
Takeo(mind):Enterprise gave me this, saying it was for my 'secretary', who is supposed to be with me at all times. I don't think I really need one, but it sure would be nice to have one.
*Takeo sets the bed up*
Takeo:"Alright, that's where you are going to sleep, is that ok?"
Dido:"Y-Yes. thank you, master."
*Dido lays down on the bed*
Takeo:"Alright. Goodnight again, Dido."
Dido:"G-Goodnight, master."
*Dido smiles happily as she head to sleep*
Takeo(mind):Ok, hopefully that's good enough.
*Takeo hears a knock on his front door*
Takeo(mind):Of course there's more...
*Takeo gets out of bed, and goes to the front door*
Takeo:"Yes?"
*He opens the door, and sees Javelin outside his door*
Takeo:"Oh, Javelin? What's up?"
Javelin:"O-Oh, I've just got someone who I think you would like to meet. She's a heavy cruiser from the Royal Navy."
Takeo:"Ok, who is she?"
???:"Hey, commander!"
*Takeo looks behind Javelin, and sees a girl with short purple hair, and red eyes*
Takeo:"Oh, h-hello."
???:"I'm Kent! How's it going?"
Takeo:"Uh...I-I'm good, thank you."
Kent:"Nice to meet ya. Javelin has told me all about you."
Javelin:"Ah! K-Kent?!"
*Javelin's face blushes*
Takeo:"U-Uh...well, nice to meet you too."
Javelin:"By the way, commander. Belfast told me she was going to your house tonight, is she still here."
Takeo:"Yeah, but she's asleep in my room right now."
Javelin:"Wait, what?!"
Takeo:"Relax, she's sleeping on a floor-bed."
Javelin:"O-Oh, ok then..."
Kent:"Haha! You almost broke a sweat there, Javelin!"
Javelin:"W-What?! No, I didn't!"
Takeo:"W-Well, anyway...nice to meet you, Kent. Goodnight, you two."
Javelin:"W-Wait, Kent wants to give you something."
Kent:"R-Right."
*Kent hands Takeo a few certificates*
Takeo:"Another certificate? Are you sure you want to be part of my fleet?"
Kent:"Well, not just me. But the whole team as well."
Takeo:"The whole team? What do you mean by-"
*Takeo looks at one of the certificates, and recognizes the name*
Takeo:"...I'll get a pen."
Kent:"You'll sign it? Right on!"
*Takeo goes into his house, and gets a pen to sign the certificates*
Takeo:"Alright, we've got...Kent, London, Sussex, Shropshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk. Now I see what you mean by the whole team."
Takeo(mind):That's almost all of the heavy cruisers from the Royal Navy at once.
Takeo:"Why did all of you decide to come to me?"
Kent:"Heh...it was Suffolk who told us about you. She said you seemed like a nice guy, so we all decided to join ya."
Takeo:"Wow...tell Suffolk I said thanks."
Takeo(mind):That's just incredible.
*Takeo hands Kent the certificates, and they start leaving his house*
Kent:"Alright, nice to be a part of your team, commander!"
Takeo:"Yeah, glad to have you!"
Javelin:"I-I'll see you tomorrow, commander."
Takeo:"Right. See you too, Javelin."
*They leave Takeo's house, and he goes back to his room*
Takeo:"Dido?"
*Dido is fast asleep when he closes the door*
Takeo(mind):I'm glad I didn't wake her.
*Takeo gets into his bed, and goes to sleep. He wakes up the next morning*
Takeo:*Yawns* "Ugh..."
Takeo(mind):Wow...what a crazy dream.
*Takeo looks next to him, and sees Dido asleep on the floor-bed*
Takeo(mind):Oh, that wasn't a dream?!
Takeo:*Yawns*
Takeo(mind):I need to check the daily reports.
*Takeo gets dressed, and goes to his office, he checks his computer*
Takeo(mind):Alright, we've got...oh my god! Javelin, Laffey, and Ayanami are all 100%?! What does that even mean?! Wait, I'm still the rank of Crush to them?! Wait, can I still marry them?! Hell no, I'm not even old enough to get married!
*Takeo spots a explanation to marrying a ship*
Takeo:"Oh, to hell with that!"
Takeo(mind):'The ship-marriage law...age doesn't matter, it isn't illegal to marry any ships that said commander have signed a certificate for'?! Tell that to the police! If they were old enough I would marry them, but since they look like 12 year olds, hell no!
*Takeo goes back to the reports*
Takeo(mind):Anyway, Z23 is 90% now, alright then. Dido is 50%, already?! My god.
*Takeo checks the rest of the reports, and Dido wakes up, and goes down to his office*
Dido:"Good morning, master."
Takeo:"Good morning, Dido. How'd you sleep?"
Dido:"Just fine. How about you, master?"
Takeo:"I slept pretty well, so what's up?"
Dido:"Do you want to have breakfast, master?"
Takeo:"O-Oh, I'm actually planning to have breakfast with Javelin, Laffey, Ayanami, Z23, and Unicorn. If that's ok."
*Takeo messages Javelin, Laffey, Ayanami, and Z23*
Dido:"O-Oh...I see...w-well, you have a good time, master."
Takeo:"...Are you gonna be alright here, by yourself?"
Dido:"Y-Yeah, it'll only get lonely...very lonely, without you, master."
Takeo:"I-I'm sorry, Dido."
*Takeo pats Dido on the head, and she blushes*
Dido:"Ah! M-Master..."
Takeo:"I'll come back by the end of the day, ok?"
Dido:"Y-Yes, master."
Takeo:"Alright, I'll be back."
Dido:"B-But master...I want to stay with you, at all times."
Takeo:"Well, Dido...not at all times."
Dido:"O-Oh...master doesn't want me around..."
Takeo:"What? N-No, that's not what I said-"
Dido:"Master wants to throw me away, right? Please, don't throw me away, I'll do anything."
*Tears start welling you in Dido's eyes*
Takeo:"D-Dido, I-I never said I was gonna get rid of you."
Dido:"Master...please don't abandon me."
Takeo:"I won't, I never said I will."
Dido:"Then please, let me come with you, master."
Takeo:"Ugh...alright. You can come with me, and hang out with everyone else."
Dido:"R-Really?! Thank you, master!"
*Dido hugs Takeo*
Takeo:"O-Ok, ok...Dido, let's get going."
Dido:"Yes, master."
*Takeo and Dido leave his house*
Narrator:Well, Takeo now has a personal maid, and now has many new ships. What else is in store for him? Stay tuned.
