Location: Atlantic Ocean

Cleveland, St Louis, Takao, Atago, Zara, Pola, Pamiat, Murmansk, Prinz Eugen, Nimi, Ning Hai, Ping Hai, Jeanne D'Arc, Forbin, Le Malin, Dunkerque, Illustrious, and Sirius are going to the path towards the Harbor. For a while now, no one has uttered a single word.

"Say, what is everyone's opinion on the Commander?" Cleveland starts to say. The rest didn't say anything. Cleveland laughs nervously, having a tint of red due to becoming embarrassed because no one answered her.

"What about you?" Dunkerque finally asks.

"Huh?"

"What's your opinion on the Commandant, Cleveland?" Le Malin asks.

"W-Well...I think he is the best Commander we have. I mean, have you ever seen someone with some supernatural powers? And, yet with all of that power. He is gentle, caring, strong, and not selfish, and he doesn't even threaten us with his powers."

"Not yet..." Eugen muttered to which Nimi heard it.

"Eugen!" She shouted. Eugen looked at Nimi and glared. Everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Do you actually trust him? Nimi, don't be naive. All humans are the same. They are greedy, cruel, and will do anything to get what they want. Hell, even Chancellor Bismarck actually started to skip a beat when she sees him."

"What are you saying, Lady Eugen?" Illustrious asks. Eugen scoffs.

"All I'm saying is that some of you really give your trust easily to the Kommandant. If he wants to, he can start threatening us by using his powers."

"But...he isn't though. I don't see the problem." Cleveland said trying to understand Eugen's argument.

"See? That is the problem, all of you don't SEE the problem. Do none of you wonder why he is doing all of this?" Eugen asks. "Why he never asks for anything in return? I believe what he is doing is trying to let our guards down before...doing the same thing as those previous commanders."

*SLAP*

Suddenly, Eugen was slapped in the face, leaving a small red handprint on her face. Everyone is shocked to see who did it.

"Heh, to think the day has arrived you finally release all that built-up anger...Nimi." Eugen smirked.

"BE. QUIET. EUGEN." Nimi ordered with a dark tone in her voice while aiming her rigging at Eugen. "You don't know the Kommandant as I do."

This shocked the girls as they always see Nimi as this strict yet caring and composed girl. It takes a lot to make her pissed off and now...Prinz Eugen seems to have struck a nerve.

"O-O-Okay...girls. J-J-Just...calm down, o-okay? No m-more f-fighting, p-please?" Cleveland said trying to calm down the situation. But both Ironblood Kansens ignored her.

"Don't know the Kommandant as you do? Open your eyes, Nimi." Eugen said.

"OPEN MY EYES!? OPEN MY EYES TO WHAT!? AN ACTUAL COMMANDER WHO GENUINELY CARES FOR US AND DOES NOT SEE US AS TOOLS NOR AN OBJECT TO BE USED AS MASTURBATION MATERIAL!? TELL ME, EUGEN! WHAT IS IT I CAN'T SEE BUT YOU CAN IN THE KOMMANDANT!?" Nimi shouted with anger.

"BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN! HE WILL BECOME LIKE THEM!" Eugen finally snapped. Nimi who was still angry was a bit taken back but retaliated. 

"HE WILL NOT BECOME LIKE ONE OF THEM!"

"And how do you know that!?"

"BECAUSE IF HE HURT ONE OF US!" Nimi said as she went into her pocket and brings out the same knife that Jasper gave her when they first met, surprising the girls. " HE SAID I HAVE THE RIGHT TO STAB HIM IN THE HEART!"
