Hey. do you remember how in episode four of Azur Lane it's mostly focus on the Royal Navy spying on the sakura empire? Yeah, this is for that episode. But because V1 can't participate in that, i decided to make this an extra chapter. This is totaly the reason why there's the fishing with V1 tags (lies), anyway, i hope you enjoy, and don't expect this to be long (it depend if my brain can make a long conversation).












After the Dragon Empery girls talk about the siren that attacked them, everyone left. Except Wales (since it's her office).

Wales.

"Hm...? What is it Terminal-san?": Wales turn to look at the Terminal.

Do you mind showing me where this arcade place is?

"Sure, but, why do you want to know?": Wales.

Well... remember how i said i want entertaiment?

"Is your entertaiment playing arcade games?": Wales.

No.

"Then?": Wales.

Killing

"...": Wales.

But with style.

"...explain": Wales.

I was created with a system called [THE CYBERGRIND] which is a place, where you can fight artificial siren with the help of the mental cube without actual physical damage.

It's originally supposed to be a training ground for machines. But since my connection with the outside world has been cut, and no more machine other than V1 and me has ever been created in that time. i am free to do whatever i want with this system.

"I see... so you want the girls to play this 'cybergrind' for your entertaiment?": Wales.

Yes, that is correct.

"Well... as long as you don't plan on hurting the girls, i don't mind.": Wales.

Suddenly someone open the door.

"What do you want? I literally was about to catch a fish.": V1.

Sorry for interrupting you, but i am not able to move by myself.

"Can you just ask the girls? They are literal ship, they are strong enough to carry you.": V1.

You are faster, i cannot wait.

"Alright fine, where are we going?": V1.

Folow Wales.

Wales then walk out of the office while V1 carry the Terminal.









A minute has passed and they have arrive at the arcade place. And then V1 place the terminal in a pretty big spot in the arcade place.

"Ok that's it jumbo, i'm going back to fishing. Don't interupt me.": V1 said while dashing out of there without giving the Terminal a second to responded.

"Well, i will be taking my leave too, And (insert ship name) will take care of you, Goodbye.": Wales said, then she leave too.

"Um...": the arcade keeper said nervously.

Hello young lady.

"Um... you are Terminal-san right?": the arcade keeper said while slowly examine the Terminal.

Indeed, did Wales told you about me?

"Yeah, well... not just me, Wales-san told everyone about you and V1-san.": The arcade keeper (T.A.K).

Hm... you look like you want to ask something.

"Uhm... well, why are you here?": T.A.K

Ah yes, i haven't told you about the reason on why i am here.

T.A.K nodded.

It's simple really, i just want to entertain(need fixing?) people with my game.

"Your... game?": T.A.K said while tilting her head in confusion.

It's faster for you to understand if you play it. So, do you want to be the first to try out my game?

"Hm... well, i like playing games. So why not.": T.A.K said while smilling.

Great.

A helmet with a wire connected to the Terminal materialized infront of the Terminal screen.

Put this on your head, then i can start the game.

"Ok.": T.A.K said while equiping the helmet.

Well then, Let's start the game.














"Huh? Where am i?": T.A.K.

She is in a red room (not red as in red blood, but red as in red paint.) With two Terminal, the left one is blue the other is the normal yellow Terminal, and in the middle is a path to start the cybergrind.

You are in the preparation area.

"Preparation area? Wait, where are you?": T.A.K said while looking around.

"Your voice doesn't sound like it's from that terminal.": T.A.K said while pointing at the yellow terminal.

This place is my game, my voice can be heard even if you close your ears.

"Creepy...": T.A.K.

Anyway, this place is where you will be before actully playing the game.

"I see...": T.A.K.

Normally if you stay here for more than 60 second, you will automaticly be kicked since there will be people waiting, but since you are my first customer and nobody is waiting, i could make an exception.

"Oh, i understand.": T.A.K.

The terminal on the right is going to be the leaderboard for the longest ship to survive, while the left one is used to change the song to your liking.

"Uhm... question.": T.A.K.

What is it?

"What do you mean by 'change the song to your liking'? And 'for the longest ship to survive'?": T.A.K

I'll answer the second question first if you don't mind.

T.A.K nodded.

The goal of this game is to survive the waves of siren that gets harder the higher the waves is, and there is no time to rest.

"I see.": T.A.K.

But, your action is recorded by me as a way to remember the waves that you're in. So if you die, and you play again, i can identify you and an option will appear, asking you if you want to beat it from the begining or the waves that you failed in. There is a second reason, but it doesn't have any connection with what i'm trying to explaning.

"Hm...? What's the second reason?": T.A.K

...as a way to entertain me.

"Eh, To entertain you?": T.A.K.

Let's not get into any details about that, all you need to know is that this game will entertain both you and me. And i promise, i won't betray any of you.

"Uh... ok.": T.A.K said nervously.

And for your first question, since you will most likely get bored while fighting, i put a song here so that you can fight with full energy. Of course, there is the default song but it depend if you want to listen to them or not.

"I see, so that's why...": T.A.K.

That is all you needed to know, and if you are ready, Go to that door and the game will begin.

"Well, let's go!": T.A.K said while going to the door.

Sooner or later, the Terminal will be known as...
