Dreaming Butterfly

Chapter 37

*Evan's/My Azur Lane Base

*Evan/My POV

The next day, I went on my usual routine. Doing paperwork, planning on my upcoming wedding and trying to guess who's the Royal Navy Shipgirl that Shinano is trying to warn me about.

"Ark Royal?" I asked myself. Ark Royal loves destroyers. But Valiant is a battleship. Besides Ark Royal, I can't think of anyone else. I was deep in thought when Enterprise entered my office.

"New paperwork from HQ." Enterprise placed a stack of papers on my desk.

I snapped out of my thoughts and started doing the paperwork.

"Still thinking about Shinano's warning." Enterprise asked me.

"Yes." I admitted.

"Maybe you should ask Admiral Kenneth for help." Enterprise suggested but I shook my head.

"No. I don't think Admiral Kenneth can help much." I replied.

"Yeah. We still don't know anything about this shipgirl besides the fact that she is from the Royal Navy." Enterprise remarked.

"True." I commented. As I was about to go back to my paperwork, someone who I don't want to see currently arrived at my office.

"Shikikan-Sama. You've been a very bad boy yesterday. Time for Taihou to punish you." Taihou stood outside the doorway to my office.

"What did I do?" I asked.

"Ignoring me." Taihou replied.

"Just that?" I asked as I grabbed a Silver Sword from under my desk.

"Time for your punishment Shikikan-Sama!!" Taihou lunged at me but I dodged her.

"You miss." I remarked as Enterprise went for her bow.

Taihou was frustrated and she lunged at me one more time but I dodged it again.

"Grr. Stay still." Taihou growled.

"You're outnumbered Taihou. Give it up." Enterprise got her bow and aimed it at Taihou.

"Such arrogance." Taihou commented before running at Enterprise but I pushed Enterprise out of the way and blocked Taihou's attack with my Silver Sword.

"Get out of the way Shikikan-Sama!" Taihou told me in an angry tone but I ignored her.

"No. It should be you who should get out of the way." I replied as I pushed Taihou away from me. 

*Third Person POV

Taihou glared at Evan.

"How rude. Is this how you treat a woman?" Taihou asked.

"You sound like Akagi." Evan replied.

"Then Taihou will punish you harder." Taihou replied.

"Watch out Evan." Enterprise warned Evan.

"Don't worry." Evan assured Enterprise.

"Tenno Heika." Taihou is about to execute a banzai attack.

"Here it comes." Enterprise informed Evan.

"Banzai!" Taihou charged at Evan but at the last minute, Evan jumped out of the way and Taihou hit a wall.

"Why would you treat your wife like that?" Taihou asked as she rubbed her head. She then stood up and prepared another banzai attack.

"Another Banzai attack?" Evan asked as he readied his Silver Sword.

"Shut up! Tenno Heika Banzai!" Taihou charged at Evan again

"Watch out Evan!" Enterprise alerted Evan.

Evan waited and waited until Taihou got close enough. Once Taihou got close enough, Evan jumped out of the way and Taihou hit a wall again, this time knocking her out.

"You alright Evan?" Enterprise rushed to Evan.

"Yes." Evan replied.

*Timeskip

*Evan/My POV

Valiant and Vauquelin were waiting in my office after I came back from the medical bay.

"Commander! Guess what?" Vauquelin asked me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Valiant. You tell him." Vauquelin nudged Valiant and said.

"Vauquelin and I have purchased our wedding dresses." Valiant told me.

"Really? Where are they?" I asked.

"It's a secret." Vauquelin put a finger to her lips and replied.

"Have you got your suit already Commander?" Valiant asked me.

"Oh shit." I thought. "No I haven't." I admitted.
