Commander's POV
____________________

with the Peacekeeper of the Sakura Empire secured.we helped around to calm the island people as Spearhead isle almost went into turmoil with the awakening of the giant leviathan creature from before

once everything had settle down,the island people could see and think clearly as the elderly put their eyes on,who we know as IJN Emperor,the 2nd ship of the Peacekeeper Class and the supposed god of Spearhead Isles

the people of the islands bowed in his presence,whether they be a normal islander,one of the Shrine Maidens,one of the mayors or the 3 Wise Tortoises.many had thought the stories and legends were merely myth and that the old men who told these stories simply gave a good plot,yet before them was the very being that gave them the islands they stood on now

Me and the fleet,along with Blitz,simply watched from the sidelines as Emperor conversed and interacted with the islands.though he was seen as a god,he acted very human like.he said nothing about his titles and didn't boast about any of his accomplishments.his humility was everything to be expected about from a Sakura Empire ship and his modestness is something to be admired

like any Sakura Empire as well.he was calm and seemed rather conservative.he said only what needed to be said and did only what was needed to be done,no more,no less.if the factions were modeled after the Peacekeepers,then it is no wonder why the Sakura Empire is one of the most calm and strategic factions in Azur Lane

Commander:so this is the Sakura Empire Peacekeeper huh

Blitz:don't let the face fool you,underneath the smile is a tongue that could make you spill your darkest secrets without trying but I'm sure you're more than prepared for that

Commander:I deal with Akagi and Taihou,how hard could it be

Blitz:their rookies in comparison,you're not going to be ready when you need to be

Blitz seemed very cautious about his fellow Peacekeeper but in hindsight,I should be taking his warnings seriously as any of them could consider Me unworthy to be leading the fleet and take actions into their own hands

if Blitz is right,then Emperor would try to interrogate Me using nothing but the flow of a conversation.he'd ease Me up with a simple conversation and slowly direct the talk to a more sensitive topic without Me realizing,making Me spill secrets I shouldn't be saying out loud

I watched Emperor from afar as he spoke with the 3 Wise Tortoise.the 3 old men seemed to be giving their respects up front and seem to be returning the gifts that were bestowed upon them by Emperor,to which were declined by said supposed god and were left in their continued care

I had a word of shared thanks with the mayor as both the safety of the islander were secured and we had gotten what we had come for.we were given an assortment of gifts for our return to base,like local delicacies,beautiful jewelry,hand sewed clothes and many more,all before we gathered up at the docks and set out back to base,after we gave our last goodbyes to the islanders

now,we were back out at sea as we headed back towards the base with an extra Peacekeeper with us.once we were far out enough at sea,I had everyone gather onto Blitz's ship,were both Peacekeepers were already at as they both stood at the bow of the ship,conversing about something that we didn't catch on our arrival

both of them took notice to our presence as they turned to look at us,abruptly ending their conversation as they both gave us their undivided attention.fully knowing that there were many questions that would be asked again

Blitz:Commander

Commander:did we interrupt something?

Emperor:not at all,I am sure you all have many questions and just like Blitz,it is my solemn duty to answer the ones that I can,so please,ask away
