With the Defeat of the Yorktown sisters. We decided to put them in their own dorms and later, head to the docks. I still couldn't believe Enterprise, Hornet and Yorktown was very devoted for me... wanting us to have a child... and me marrying her... Honestly, if it wasn't for Atago, we could've killed them all, which could've been bad or worse. I remembered the words of my Shadow Self...

"You've made a Good Choice."

Was it right...? Or he was tricking me... I don't know.

Jintsuu: Those girls are insane... how are you sympathetic to them? You don't... actually want to have a... child with them... do you?

Michael: Yeah. I could've just executed them.

Kevin: I don't know... But my heart told me, not to...

Atago: Commander, why did she become that way?

Kevin: Well, when an Rescue Operation of mine, was sabotaged. She tried to help me at the wedding, but lost it when she sawed Sakura Empire and Royal Navy shipgirls in wedding dresses, and about to put the ring on me. We tried to escape by ourselves, but Arizona placed a trap and... Here I am.

Michael: So... What now?

Phoenix: We need to get ready for the Ironblood.

Pennsylvania: Yeah, We'll need shipgirls to be ready against them.

Atago: Oh. Commander, here. Take these.

Atago reached for her pockets and handed me two wisdom cubes.

Kevin: Wisdom Cubes? Why?

Atago: I just wanted to see one construction.

Minato: One construction?

Atago: I... actually want to see Takao again.

Michael: Isn't zhat the girl's dorm that I've stayed in?

Atago: Yes. Now that you're mentioning it, it was probably weird for you to sleep there.

Michael: Vell, I've to hide.

Kevin: Well... if you wanted to see Takao again... Very Well.

Jintsuu: You're unlikely to get that, use a wishing well instead. Just do the construction and then say the name you want to get.

Kevin: I see.

Michael: Let's go then.

An Hour Later...

Kevin: Well, that's finished.

Michael: If this works, where would I sleep?

Kevin: ... Back to my sofa?

Michael: I don't mind.

We then saw the same fox crossing by.

Michael: That fox again?

Kevin: What the hell...? Is it following us?

We just looked at them, it looked back at both of us.

Michael: Vhat does it want?

Kevin: I honestly don't know...

Michael: Anyways, we should get back. It's getting darker...

Kevin: Alright.

???: Haah... Commander... when we're finally together... I'll make it so you love foxes... so much! I need to get rid of that friend of yours...

The Night Arrives...

I decided to go to Enterprise's Dorm. Although I still hold a grudge against Enterprise, She maybe deserve a second chance. Hopefully she's normal now...

I arrived at her door and knocked a few times. And the answer I got it's a door open. 

Enterprise: He- O-Oh... It's you, C-Commander...

I guess she's normal for now. Hopefully it stay the same.

Kevin: Howdy, Enty. I just came here to visit you.

Enterprise: Why... why do you... still want to visit me...? After all I've done... I-I...

She started down at her feet. I could only sighs and talk to her.

Kevin: Let's just continue this inside, it's confidential from anyone.

Enterprise: I-If you insist...

A/N; Just for a little mood.

https://youtu.be/BarNvJhIoI0

I entered her room and we sat down on the bed.

Enterprise: Commander...

Kevin: I just really think... you can turn a new leaf and have a second chance...

Enterprise: That friend of your should've just killed me...

Kevin: *Sighs* I know... But, he didn't kill you, out of my guilt. I just don't want to see your cute face shot... Damn it, what did I said!?

Enterprise's face turned red. She probably feels the same emotions I feel.

I just gave her a headpat.

Enterprise: You're still quite childish, aren't you...?

Kevin: I know. Ahem. Look Enterprise, when I first looked at you, I thought that we could be friends or my half elder sister...

Enterprise: T-That one? P-Please, Commander... you are just trying to make me feel better... I insist you to stop... I'm just useless and unworthy...

Kevin: You're wrong, Enty... I err... I care about you, Enterprise. Even though in the past... I felt aggressive towards you but...that's because you snapped... deep down you truly are something valuable for me.

Enterprise: R-Really...?

She looked at me, our eyes locked. Both my Dark Brown eyes and Enty's Amethyst eyes.

Kevin: I really don't like to say this but... When I was near 17, my Country, Vietnam, was attacked by PLA (People's Liberation Army) of China. My father was killed in a crossfire, while my mother, died by cancer... Because of my father's death, I snapped, and went on a killing spree. Friends and Foes, alike, all I could only see was red. Crimson Red.

Enterprise: So... you snapped before...

Kevin: Yes... When my siblings and I reached to the ferry boat to leave. I choose to stay, letting my little brother and little sister escape. Knowing that will be my last stand, I now sworn my loyalty to... Die and bleed for my country and to atone for my sins. Every painful injuries is a single sin atoned to me. At my last stand in Hồ Chí Minh, As I was about to be shot by a PLA Officer, All I could think, that I'll be free from this cruel world. But, that was where I met my first friend, and my savior.

Enterprise: Was it... Michael?

Kevin: Sadly, no. I haven't met him. His name is Richard Mitchell, an American Mercenary. He gunned down the guy who's about to kill me and carried me to USS Nimitz, CVN-68... Due to the US's Weak Leader, Beijing 'Cowardly' Biden, chose not to send aid to Vietnam, some Admirals were pissed, to the point they conduct their own rescue operation, for us. To which, we honor people like them, not the politicians of the Biden Administration, has caused the country to break like glass... Ended up into the Divided States of America.

Enterprise: Politics aside... He saved your life, didn't he?

Kevin: Yeah. I still owe him a favor. Having joined an another military (Australian Military), after I was honorably discharged, I still hungered for revenge, but the top brass chose to take me to a mental hospital, to prevent me from ending my own misery or going bloodthirsty. They treated me well, though. And then, after me and a couple vigilantes of mine, went on a manhunt against some criminals, I stumble across a Phoenix Project base, abandoned, but still functional. We started from the Phoenix Corporation to the New Phoenix Project by the UN.

Enterprise: From a Private Company to a International Organization... How?

Kevin: ... *sad sighs* Another War...

Enterprise: Hey...

Kevin: Sorry... I've been thinking...

Enterprise: What is it?

Kevin: Whenever I see you, I've a small sense of hope, thanks to you... I have a better sense of morality. And recently, the other girls are more... friendly than their yandere self. Even with Michael.

Enterprise: I'll be honest as well... when I saw you, Commander. I liked you too, but not the yandere way, the normal way.

She put her head on my shoulder, I felt more comfortable...

Enterprise: When I saw those girls in wedding dresses, I didn't know how to feel, I felt like I was forgotten... I snapped after seeing you about to marry many girls... I wish I didn't snapped... I wish I could've been a better sister for my sisters...

I looked at her in shock.

Kevin: Y-You didn't...

Enterprise: I did... I... I influenced Yorktown and Hornet to be the way they look towards you...

Kevin: Well... that's in the past now, I hope they will recover as well...

She tapped me, I turned to look at her.

Kevin: Y-Yes?

Enterprise: Commander... do... do you love me?

What should I say...?

I'm sorry... I can't forgive you...

As a friend of mine, why not? (Current Route)

Yes, I love you, and I forgive you.

Time stopped at a moment...

Shadow Kevin: A pity. But still. A Good choice.

Then time went back to normal... I smiled and said...

Kevin: As a friend of mine, why not?

Enterprise then got up and looked at me.

Enterprise: *crying* T-Thank you, Commander!

She pushed me onto the bed then hugged me and I hugged her back. She's crying, I smiled again, I'm glad that she's redeemed...

Enterprise *muffled* Commander... I want to change for you! I'll fight for you!

Kevin: I'm here, Enty... take your time, my friend.

Time stopped again... Seriously?

Shadow Kevin: My Apologies. Ahem. For you and her, as both of your's and her's loyalty now intertwined together. A Phoenix Commander and An Eagle Leader, now in a common cause. May victory guides both you and Enterprise. For the Glory of Azur Lane and the New Phoenix Project.

Now, she's my Comrade at Arms. Whatever it takes, we'll fight to the end. Enterprise got up and wiped the tears off her face. I felt kinda proud.

Enterprise: Well... it's getting late, I guess you have to leave now. *sniff*

Kevin: Yeah...

Enterprise: Commander... I'm kinda worried...

Kevin: The Ironblood?

Enterprise: Yeah... They could come after me...

Kevin: Enty, I'll do whatever it takes to protect you and everyone else.

She hugged me for one last time, until it's my time to leave.

Enterprise: Goodbye, Commander...

Kevin: Same here, my Friend.

I left the dorm. Still proud of the success.

A/N: You can stop the music.

???: Admitting love to a girl but not me? I see how it is Commander.~ What do you think...?

???: Ahah... he'll be ours eventually.~

As I got to my dorm I laid on my bed just thinking about both, Takao and Enterprise. I then heard knocking on my window.

Kevin: Who there!?

I approached to my window and it was very dark outside. I couldn't see much with the darkness. I looked carefully and I saw... four foxes? Suddenly I saw two figures just standing there. I couldn't see their appearance. I can't risk open my window and confront the storm outside. I decided just to ignore it and go to sleep.

Next Day...

I started to wake up, without any problem, despite sleeping late. I turned just to see Belfast sleeping with me.

Belfast: Already awake honey?

I stared at the ceiling. Then got up.

Kevin: No, I'm still tired. Anyways, I have to do things.

Belfast: Teehee~ I am things~

Kevin: You're an earsore, Belfast...

Belfast: I'm not letting you out this room.~

Kevin: *sighs* Why?

Belfast: I'm going to kiss you.

Kevin: Fine...

She approached me and gave me the kisses on the lips, I returned it.

Minutes Later...

I decided to do one more construction after finally being led free from Belfast. I went to the docks with Michael. A little while later Akagi came.

Michael: So... we can do something while we wait.

Kevin: Like what?

Michael: *Took out a box of empty Magazines and a Box full of bullets.* Restocking our Mags.

Kevin: Good idea.

We stocked our magazines, for the Ironblood's upcoming.

Akagi: What are you guys doing?

Kevin: Stocking up Ammo, for the Ironblood's arrival.

Akagi: Oh, I came here to see why you are here at the docks.

Kevin: Construction.

Akagi: I want to brush your soft hair while we wait.

Kevin: Well, I don't mind.

Akagi: Yes!

Kevin: You sure are excited.

Few Minutes Later...

Akagi: Oh dear... Your hair was always messy?

Kevin: Often busy with other stuff...

Akagi: So... about Enterprise.

After the talk I had yesterday with Enterprise. I'm wasn't happy about girls talking bad about her. I know she did wrong, but I'm sure she can change. It seems everyone knows about what she did.

Akagi: What did she do to you?

Kevin: She only did things to Jintsuu, I fought her... She's a changed girl and I hope that continue...

Akagi: I don't know. I heard she wore bunny suit.

Michael: She didn't. Who told you that!?

Hiryuu later came to see me.

Hiryuu: Hi commander, what are you up to?

Kevin: Just Prepping and Waiting. That's all.

Hiryuu: I see. We heard Enterprise is now loyal to you.

Kevin: Of course, I would never leave a friend behind.

Hiryuu: My sister told me about it.

Kevin: Of course... Typical Souryuu...

Hiryuu: Yeah, I'm glad that you're still ok.

???: Hiryuu, let go of the commander...

Hiryuu stopped hugging, I noticed the voice...

Kevin: Taihou.

Taihou: Commander...

She looked at me disgusted. It's been a long time I haven't seen her.

Taihou: What's that ring on your finger!?

Kevin: I'm a married man, I'm afraid.

Taihou: Why didn't you marry me!?

Kevin: One, You're the only carrier of the Sakura Empire that I hate. Two, you've caused a lot of trouble against Takao and me. And three, why would I trust you? I rather listen to Hiryuu than you.

Hiryuu: You're too kind, Commander...

Taihou: I have to deal with these pests.

Michael: Not if I have anything to say about it!

Taihou: Wha.. What?! 

Pennsylvania and Phoenix: And that includes us!

Taihou: How long was I gone!?

Montpelier: Too long, but good enough for us.

Looks like my Coalition Fleet is rebuilding. Good, that will be helpful against the Ironblood.

Taihou: Doesn't matter... I'll find ways of making you love me for sure~ Fufufufu~

???: K-Kevin?

I looked in the distance and saw who I think it is with white gold uniform and black ponytail. Yep, it's Takao.

Kevin: Takao!?

Takao: Kevin!!!

Just like Enterprise and cause of my height... she hugged me and sobbed on my chest.

Takao: I thought I lost you, Kevin! I missed you!

Kevin: Same here...

Takao: I already know that you're married....

Kevin: I know... It's not pleasant...

Takao: *sighs* Yes. But, it's good to be back here.

Michael: So, you must be Fraulein Takao?

Takao: Oh hello. You're taller than Kevin. I'm Takao, First ship of the Takao-Class Heavy Cruisers. The first secretary of Kevin as well. You?

Michael: I'm Michael Visscher. A Director of a Private Agency and I help the kid from time to time. Also defend him from hostiles and the damnable incoming Ironblood...

Takao: Are you sure...? You're an Ironblood yourself, back there.

Michael: I'm different.

I looked at the window, I remember that Michael have deployed Smart Sea Mines for the Ironblood... The myth of him been a Pro-Ironblood is done for.

Kevin: Michael. Are you ready?

Michael: Ja. Ready and villing.

At somewhere else...

???: It's almost time...

???: Can't wait to finally see him...
