Beloved Commander [Azur Lane]

Short Prison Time

"Wake up, my beloved Commander."

Y/N's eyes widened in fear. The voice of someone familiar reached his ear. The white ceiling quickly confirmed where he is right now. Not the cell, but the Azur Lane Base.

"Someone tricked Hermione to use this. Please do not hold any grudges against her. It only works on humans, which is why she never felt different by test eating it."

Vestal shows the bag with the bottle of special sauce. Y/N sits up and takes a look at the bag. He checks the other side and sees the label on it.

"This is..."

"I have already checked on that shop dealer and her goods." Belfast steps over to the bed and Vestal gives her the clipboard, showing the condition of the Commander.

"I see, I will find who did this and have them punish." Belfast turned around and walk through the door to find the ones responsible.

"While Belfast takes care of that, why do you not rest here today. We can not have any assassin to kill while unsupervised." Y/N gulps and Vestal breaks out in laugher.

"I was joking. Take them on and soon you do, you can leave." The Commander thanks Vestal for her work and the medical nun leaves to change. Y/N looks outside as he feels an intense gaze on him.

"Must be my imagination." He starts putting his clothes on and knows no normal people would use their time to stalk him. Keywords, normal people.

"So innocent~" The Kansen lower the binocular down and quickly disappear before anyone would notice her begin with.

The Kitsune steps into the wall, as the other Kitsune, punches the wall beside her head. The metal wall got a bugle and the little sister starts to sweat in fear. The eyes of her dear Nee-sama are burning.

"Ara, is my dear poisoning our Shikikan?"

"I do not know what you are talking about, now please let me get our meal. Are you not hungry, Nee-sama?"

"Fufufu." The red Kitsune laughs and slams her arm over the white Kitsune's head. Making everyone else in the cafeteria stare at them.

"You are making a scene, Nee-sama. Please sit down and let me ge-"

"Do not lie to your Nee-sama, Kaga!" Kaga flinches at her sudden outburst.

"You had the audacity to poison Shikian! Do you know the consequences!?" She yells into Kaga's face. Too angry at her own blood would do something like that.

"I do! And I will gladly take them! Humans should die! Especially Shikikan! They are too fragile!"

Kaga pushes her Nee-sama away and both Kitsune stare at each other. Heated stare-down competition. Until a clap from a particular Head Maid echoes the entire cafeteria.

"Everyone with clearance certificate 4 and under leave." A huge portion of Shipgirls quickly left their meal and Belfast with the Maid Corp surrendered the Kitsunes.

"Belfast, what is going on?" The Grey Ghost enters the cafeteria after seeing almost everyone leave.

"It appears Miss Kaga is the culprit of Commander's poisoning."

"Let me take her, Miss Belfast." Hermione takes pair of handcuffs out. Particularly made for Shipgirl like themselves. Kaga snarls and lifts her wrist up to the maid.

"Please take her to the holding cell number ten."

"Belfast!" The older Kitsune and Enterprise look at the maid in shock.

"Of course, Miss Belfast." Hermione and the rest of the Maid Corp take Kaga in tow and head over to another building, on the opposite side of the island.

"Is this not too much, Belfast?" Enterprise asks her. The Kitsune nods, as one of the only times both, agree on the same thing.

"She poisoned Commander. By the protocol, Miss Kaga will spend eight months in the maximum-level prison cell. Unless the Commander himself has other plans with her."

"No! Please do not take my Kaga away, Belfast!"

The Kitsune threw herself over the maid.

"Sorry Miss Akagi. But the protocol is protocol. If you want her back so badly, get an appointment with Commander." The maid coldly leaves the cafeteria and Enterprise watches Akagi falling to her knees.

———

It has been hours since Kaga got imprisoned in the holding cell. It looks boring and she has nothing other than sleeping or reading a book of two. However, that is her new home for eight months.

She could rat out someone else, but it feels better to take the blame for herself. The feeling of pride in her grew large.

And as the lights got switched off, Kaga finds the man she poisoned in front of her. He dares to face after the poisoning, quite bold in her opinion.

"First Carrier Division of Sakura Empire, Kaga"

"Sailor to Shikikan, Y/N." She crosses her arms and narrows her eyes at him. She has a feeling something will happen soon.

"The meal tastes great, except for the sauce, of course. But you already know why right?"

He put the chair down and sit in front of Kaga's cell. The white Kitsune ignores him, not wanting to give the human the attention he seek for.

"I see." Kaga throws the cover over her head with her tails sticking up.

"I understand your anger, but it is not a good thing to let it out against someone else."

"..."

"Trust me, I have tried something similar. I did something reckless and got innocent people hurt." Y/N recalls the time he attacked the high council and accidentally killed the janitor and injured many more.

"Just know your Kohais from Fifth Carrier Division, Shoukaku and Zuikaku are coming back in three months. I got the report from Mikasa and North Carolina." He opens the cell and puts the report on the small desk.

"I am sorry for what happened, Kaga. I understand your hatred for humans. I hate my race sometimes too." Kaga keeps staring into the wall. Even the presence of the Commander disappears. The Kitsune keep staring into the wall like a painting.

———

She glares at him. Not understanding why she is sitting at the same table with him. But the one beside seems to be in the opposite mood.

"Shikikan, please open your mouth!" The older Kitsune hold herself on the cheek and feed the Commander with breakfast.

"It tastes great, Akagi." The Kitsune tries to hide her blush. The little sister's eye twitches by the scene. But keep eating her breakfast in silence.

Until the Commander looks over to her. "Did you sleep well last night? It must be rough to sleep in the cell alone. I heard from Akagi you normally sleep with he-" The younger Kitsune stuff his mouth with her food. Hiding the flustered face and not wanting anyone to know the secret of her sleeping manner.

"Shut up."

"Kaga." Akagi looks at her, but Y/N holds his hand out for her. Reassuring he is okay and not the slightest hurt by her Kaga's action.

And as the older Kitsune is giggling and feeding the Commander while the younger one tries to eat without being a part of the conversation, but fails miserably.

The white-haired Shipgirl steals some glances at them from her seat. Finishing the MRE bar, by the moment her eyes make eye contact with the Commander.
