Beloved Commander [Azur Lane]

Curiosity

After his words went through speaker. Enterprise looks over to Prinz Eugen and Vitterio Veneto. Both Shipgirls chose to stay with the Grey Ghost to see the commercial.

Their interest peeks as they see the Commander burns the classified file and gives them a warning, which made Enterprise feel uneasy.

Then after ten minutes of silence, the door opens and Helena enter the room with a tired expression. She gives Prinz Eugen and Vitterio Veneto pieces of paper.

"He wants a talk." Enterprise tries to get a look on the paper, but both Shipgirls folds the paper together and put it their pockets.

"Just us?" Vitterio Veneto tries to act calm, but her posture shakes a little.

"No, Monarch and myself too." Prinz Eugen looks over to Enterprise and sent a smile as she and the others steps out of room.

"Tell Hipper, her dear little sister is taking a nap."

Enterprise did not say anything, as the whole situation seems to be too private.

Four Shipgirls are inside the living room. The blue-haired lady continues to play with her fingers with the red-haired woman looks at her watch to keep up with the time. Both are sitting on the couch.

The saber wielder keeps her eyes on the painting at the wall while standing and the woman with side-boobs on the armchair drinks the glass of wine in her hand. Seems the calmest of them all.

"Helena, you are up first." The front door opens and he puts his cap down. The Shipgirl's eyes grows in panic and looks over to the others for any advice.

"Okay." They just gesture her to follow him to upstairs. The Italian woman looks over to her German colleague.

"Is your plan doing well?"

"Hmm, maybe?" The British woman scoffs.

And as downstairs' atmosphere is down, Helena's mood is not great either. She steps inside the office and stands in front of the person she have angered.

"Do you know why you are here?"

"N-No." She tries to lie and the man sighs.

"Maybe this will wake some memories." He opens his suitcase and give her a file. She hesitate at first, but take the file.

"Do you recall it now?" Helena drops the file and looks at the man in fear.

"Helena." He stands up and she steps back to the door. Scared of what he will do to her.

"You love Cleveland and that is great. But accident can happen in the future." He strokes her shoulders gently and lead her to the chair.

"I need to know you would not search for that report, okay?" She quietly nods to his word. Fear struck her when she saw her and Cleveland together. She looks at him as she recalls something.

"Does Yorktown know?" He shake his head and Helena looks to the ground to think for a minute.

"Are you threatened too?" The Shipgirl did not get any response than a sigh. She chooses to keep her mouth shut and looks to the ground again.

"Just be careful for the next few days." He tells her and opens the door. She nods and follow him downstairs. Both enter the living room and the Shipgirls sees the worry look on Helena.

"You are free to go. Monarch, you are next." He tells them and red-haired woman checks on Helena for a brief second.

"I am fine." The blue-haired Shipgirl leaves the building and Monarch steps inside the office.
