Sakura Empire Market

I finish talking with Atago at my warship about Ion and now I'm at the market area to see what they have to offer, but the problem is I don't have any money on me or at least the currency they use in this world which means I need to find a job. I was about to head to one of the markets until I bump into someone with fox ears and wearing a shrine maiden outfit.

Relege: "Sorry about that."

???: "That's okay and you're that destroyer that Akagi was talking about at the meeting."

Relege: "NMS Relege Ferdinand at your service."

???: "I'm IJN Nagato the leader of the Sakura Empire."

This cause me to salute to her since she is the leader of the nation so it's disrespect to not salute her which Nagato calm down after seeing me salute.

Relege(salute): "Sorry madam."

Nagato(worry): "Don't be. What are you doing here?"

Relege: "I was looking at the market, but the problem is I don't have any currencies to buy something so I was hoping for something to work with."

Nagato stare at me and walking around to examine me which she got a lightbulb on her head which means that she has an idea.

Nagato: "I got an idea; we're thinking of recruiting a mentor or a teacher for some times now to teach our young kansens to learn how to fight against the Sirens or at least a military trainer."

That cause me to be happy since I only learn about military, but the question is why that lightbulb is still there which Nagato notice the lightbulb on top of her until someone arrive to grab that lightbulb.

Kansen: "I was wondering where that lightbulb went. Thank you Lady Nagato."

We both feel confuse, but decide to let it go and head to the Sakura Empire school where the young kansens are learning about tactics and military attacks against a Siren including fighting against other kansens.

Time Skip
Sakura School, Sakura Empire

We head to a school building where I can see a bunch of kansens learning katana fight while others is learning about tactics which means they are the future soldiers and officers of the Sakura Empire which brings back good memories of Romania since we have good tradition with military which takes us back to the country of Dacia who fought against the Roman Empire. We can a couple of kansens practice against each other in a duel which reminds me of fighting against Takao which I promise her of more training later today.  We enter the school and see a couple of kansens who is talking about what kind of food they like; your typical student life in high school. Nagato observe the situation while one of the teacher who have a long rabbit ears with glasses on her face which she looks intelligent.

???: "Lady Nagato; I didn't expect to see you."

Nagato: "Hello Souryuu and no this is unexpected arrival since I found someone who will help you with teaching kansens to fight. This is NMS Regele Ferdinand."

Souryuu: "I remember; you're with Akagi and her fleet."

I nod and I didn't remember her been there, but probably because I got dragged away by Ayanami and her friends without introduction to the others. I salute to her while she is reading the book of any destroyers within the world of Azur Lane, but she can't find any information on me since Romania doesn't exist in this world.

Souryuu: "I don't see your name on the list of factions."

Regele: "That's because I'm a Romanian destroyer and they don't exist in this world which is sad."

She wrote my name and my nation down on her notepad so she can study and want permission to study more on my warship which I agree.

Souryuu: "Can I examine your ship for further studies?"

Regele: "Sure thing."

She was happy and decide to head out while I have to study with the kansens which one of them came up to me.

???: "You're that destroyer that was spending time with my sisters including training with Takao."

Regele: "You are?"

???: "Sorry about that; I'm Maya the sister of the Takao-Class."

I don't see any similarity of her and her sisters because they wear a military style outfit while she wears some strange outfit that doesn't suited of a military; however I decide not to be rude and start the class which I tell them my name and introduce of loyalty to your nation.

Time Skip

It was getting dark and I decide to back to the inn where I'm staying at for the time being until I get enough money to earn a place to live and I notice Takao waiting outside which greet her.

Regele: "Waiting for your sister Maya?"

Takao: "So you met her? Yea and we're going out for dinner."

I was about to talk until alarm is start ringing out which means trouble have approach so we both head out to the port and see what the commotion is.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time Skip
Sakura Port, Sakura Empire

We head to the port to see a couple of maids running away with a green hair neko which I notice they aren't ours and they wear the same maid outfit as Belfast so that means that they belong to the Royal Navy. Me and Takao chase after them to the entrance of the port which I engage one of them while Takao provide support until we can see a maid that is driving a burning torpedo boat heading our way.

Takao(scare): "WAIT!"

Regele(worry): "Not good."

I defend Takao with my body from the explosion which I took heavy damage from it, but at least that we're still alive, but I'm out of commission for a while.

Takao: "Are you alright?"

Regele(pain): "This isn't much."
