Enterprise ignored them and beckoned Enty-Chan to the shipgirl.
Enterprise: "Go, pick her up. We are returning to the base,"
Enty-Chan dutifully picked up the shipgirl, and then toppled over, landing with an 'oof' on her bottom.
Enty-Chan: "Why oh why must she be so heavy?"
Enterprise shook her head and sighed. She went forwards and lifted the white-haired shipgirl and carried her.
Enterprise: "There, I've carried her,"
Just then, another shell exploded just a metre away from the group, spraying them with boiling water. Enty-Chan felt a scrap up her knee and looked down, noticing shrapnel which had hit her knee. She winced as the blood from her knee dripped out onto the sea, making crimson swirls and flowers on it. Cleveland noticed that and tugged at Enterprise, who was about to launch an F4U Vought Corsair at the Mass Produced Siren Ships.
Cleveland: "Let's go!"
Ping Hai, Enty-Chan, Nimitz, Enterprise (who was carrying that shipgirl) and Cleveland (who was carrying Ning Hai) glided through the mass-produced Siren ships and fled the scene.
~~At the Azur Lane Base~~
They returned to the base, with Prince of Wales and Hood waiting for them. Their eyes travelled from Ping Hai to Cleveland, who was holding Ning Hai, then to Enty-Chan. Finally, their eyes rested on Enterprise and the shipgirl she was carrying. Hood gasped.
Hood: "That's... that's Bismarck's sistership!"
Prince of Wales just looked absolutely shocked.
Enty-Chan, who had learnt a bit of history during her days at sea, inhaled.
Enty-Chan: "That's... Tirpitz, the second of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Germany's Kriegsmarine before and during the Second World War. Named after Grand Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, the architect of the Kaiserliche Marine, the ship was laid down at the Kriegsmarinewerft Wilhelmshaven in November 1936 and her hull was launched two and a half years later. In February 1941, she was commissioned into the German fleet. Like her sister ship, Bismarck, Tirpitz was armed with a main battery of eight 38-centimetre guns in four twin turrets. After a series of wartime modifications she was 2000 tonnes heavier than Bismarck, making her the heaviest battleship ever built by a European navy, right?" (copied from Wikipedia)
The group looked at her, confused. Prince of Wales nodded slightly, which sent the young ship girl happily jumping in circles, humming a tune, delighted to be acknowledged by one of the renowned ships of Royal Navy. Nimitz muttered something under her breath, but she could not hide her expression of pure awe and contempt.
Vestal and Akashi arrived with the Elite Manjuu Repair team. Akashi commanded the Manjuus to go fix the ships. However, the capitalist cat greedily pestered Prince of Wales for a hefty payment of 100 gems. They fixed Ning Hai and Tirpitz, while Vestal carefully removed the shrapnel on Enty-Chan's knee and used disinfectant to wash her knee. Enty-Chan whispered a 'sorry', then upturned the bottle of disinfectant onto Vestal. Vestal shook her head and carried Tirpitz and Ning Hai away, to the infirmary.
Enty-Chan: "Can we follow them, please, Kaa-san?"
Enterprise nodded and directed Enty-Chan to the infirmary. When they reached, they realised Ning Hai had already woken and was biting into a baozi, which Ping Hai had given Vestal. Tirpitz had also woken up to a plate of currywurst, which she was wolfing down.
Tirpitz looked up and saw Enty-Chan and Enterprise. Through a mouthful of currywurst, she pointed at them and spoke.
Tirpitz: "The Big E and The Little E,"
