Beloved Commander [Azur Lane]

Quiet Day

Y/N, the Command drink his morning coffee while standing over the latest reports. The Sardegna Empire have returned to their headquarter while HMS Monarch has been by herself on an island not far away from the base.

He subtly raises an eyebrow and looks up to the Shipgirl in front of him. The woman has a darkened look, her complete overshadowed by the information.

"Why?"

"Greater good, of course."

"How can that be greater good!?" She slams her hands to the desk. Shaking by the raw feeling of disgust. She thought the former Commander was a bastard.

But that man in front of her is someone far worse than the old Commander.

"I do not know. The HQ says it is, so it must be."

Y/N looks outside at the base from the window. The lonely Azur Lane is just sad to watch. Since the decrease of Shipgirls, as they leave for their Factions, the base has become quiet.

"Are you human?! You fiddle your fingers around-"

"I am no human. I lost my humanity since the Sirens." The Commander put his cup down and open his box of pills.

"I had two choices. I did it to save Y-" The Shipgirl slap him. The red mark of the hand takes a great form on his cheek.

"You are just bound to the HQ! You never had two choices! You are the biggest Miststück in the world!"

"Bastard... I see. Will you tell the others? The information is higher than any of you."

"Tch. I will make Iron Blood leave Azur Lane- No, I will make every Shipgirl leave this disgusting place and its inhumane bastard."

The woman smacks the door and Y/N looks back to his box. The red pill and the blue pill. The dilemma he have since Vestal starts giving the opportunity to take the red pill.

"Perhaps you choose the third option."

The Commander hums by the voice and looks over to the gun on his desk. It would be nice.

"Commander!" Enterprise pushes the door in hurry due to a situation and stops when she sees the man is holding his gun in an odd way manner.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing." He put the gun on the desk and quickly take a handful of blue pills. Grey Ghost looks at him in unease.

"What can I help you with?" Y/N loose his tie and finish his coffee with a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Prinz Eugen have deported Azur Lane without any authorization. The other Iron Blood members have followed her."

"I gave her permission." The Commander looks outside at the sea as he faintly sees the figures of the Iron Blood Shipgirls.

"Please take care of the base while I check on Monarch." Enterprise salutes as Y/N walk past her. She put her arm down as the footsteps disappear.

She looks on the desk, knowing Prinz Eugen would not leave Azur Lane without any reason.

"HQ has requested Commander Y/N's presence for the court-martial against Iron Blood? What is going on?" She takes the file and runs after the person she can trust with it.

Monarch drops to her knees and looks down in defeat. The small beach area is blown into layers of sectors now, yet she does feel any progress.
