Two weeks since the 1st Relief Fleet arrived, things had gotten quiet around the Hiroshima base and its surrounding waters. This was interpreted by the Azur Lane girls that the Abyssals don't like the cold weather around Winter, or that they're just letting the girls just mark off the end of the year with some peace. The local girls were in full festive mood and even the ships were dressed for the occasion to as lights and decorations lined the vessels and that night was the night of their Christmas feast with Lakonia hosting with the local shipgirls free to join at their own will. Even better for them was that while still not fit to return to combat, Jervis (KC) had healed enough to walk again following being heavily wounded. Just like the others, she wanted to still know more about the Azur Lane girls.

Jervis (KC): It's good to be out again. I don't know how much longer I was going to stand in that room. Why couldn't an instant repair bucket be used? The admiral here run out?

Javelin (KC): It was too risky. Even we know when an instant repair isn't a good idea.

Jervis (KC): Oh. By the way, what about these girls that use those ships? Who are they?

Janus (KC): They're from another world and go by an alliance known in theirs as "Azur Lane". Javelin (KC) even met her counterpart.

Javelin (KC): Can confirm. She's not like me. A little more cheery and energetic, bit like Janus (KC).

The three sisters walked through the snow covered reaches of Hiroshima base. Many of the local girls were in their kimonos as was tradition and when they reached the edge of the pier, the fallen snow had hardened the water into ice. Many of the girls were playing games, some even ice skating and due to the water flowed around the base, there was no fear of their ships suffering damage unless they just bump into their hulls. It was then the J-class sisters (KC) noticed a girl dressed warmly in white. She was just about shorter in stature to them.

Lakonia: Geia sou. (Hello.) Haven't met yous yet. My name's Lakonia, cruise ship while serving for Azur Lane.

Jervis (KC): Sounds a bit like a Greek name.

Lakonia: I am Greek, but I was originally Dutch. Who might you three be?

Javelin (KC): I'm Javelin (KC) and these are my sisters Janus (KC) and Jervis (KC), the latter just been released following that incident two weeks ago.

Lakonia: You're from the fleet that old Aquitania saved. I do say it's interesting to see another version of our Js in Azur Lane.

Javelin (KC): I can tell as I've met my counterpart. I'm just on my way to introduce Jervis (KC) to her.

Lakonia: Ah. She's just with her friends out near the Jervis. Tonight's going to be quite the night, given I'm hosting.

The cruise ship walked away in a rather cheerful mood. The three sisters just looked at each other with confusion, then shrugged it off and went to a J-class destroyer anchored among the ships. Jervis (KC) identified it as the ship as they were told it was "the Jervis" as the vessel displayed the pennant number "G00". They noticed nine girls around the starboard of the destroyer with three appearing to wear maid outfits.

Laffey: Javelin (AL), your counterpart is here.

Javelin (AL): Huh? (looks to see the J-class sisters (KC) walking towards them) Oh. Hi!

Javelin (KC): Told you that she's the opposite of me, Jervis (KC).

Jervis (KC): So you must be my sister's counterpart? I'm Jervis (KC), "Lucky Jervis" as everyone calls me, even if I wasn't lucky that day.

Z23: So you're der wounded one that Aquitania brought back with her?

Jervis (KC): You sound like Bismarck (KC), Prinz Eugen (KC) and Graf Zeppelin (KC) with that accent. You from Germany?
