A beautiful morning... I was sleeping very peacefully... until I woke up for my daily duties as Commander. I woke up and looked around.

Minato: No random girl sleeping with me? No one in my room...? Can it be? Am I finally back to living a normal life again!? Phew, maybe I finally got the respect I deserved...

A few seconds later I heard my door open, the door opened to reveal Belfast. She was holding a tray of pancakes, I wonder if Akira made them... there was also some milk on the side... I hope she didn't put anything in the milk...

Belfast: Here's your breakfast, Master.

I looked at Belfast's face, she looked back with a smile.

Minato: Uh, thanks? Is this... actual food? You didn't put anything in it, right?

Belfast: Of course not Master. That was a one-time thing and I apologize. I now know the great things you've done for us all.

Minato: Wow... thanks, this food does look delicious. I'm also sorry for uh, shooting you in the thigh before.

Belfast: It's fine Master. The past is the past. Anyways, please enjoy your breakfast and make sure to go to your office soon. I heard that someone new is coming to be your new secretary.

Minato: *Mmmmh?* A new secretary, eh? *Hmmh*

Belfast: Here's some tea as well, please do try it, Master.

Minato: Well... I guess it wouldn't hurt to drink tea.

I lifted up the teacup and was about to drink it until Belfast said something.

Belfast: Hehehe, pinky up, Master!

Minato: I'm not doing it...

Belfast: Awwww come on Master!

Minato: *sigh* I guess I'll do it...

I lifted my pinky up and drank my tea.

Belfast's POV:

I can't believe I'm seeing Master drink tea for the first time! He looked back at me but how can I not look at his cute face! Oh Master, if I was your wife, I'd make your life the best. Wait, I can't get sidetracked!

Minato: Hmm... not bad.

Belfast: See, it's nice to drink tea Master.

Minato's POV:

Well, I guess having Takao as my one and only secretary can be tough on her. I suppose having another secretary wouldn't hurt to have.

Belfast: Well then, I'll be going now Master.

Minato: Alright, bye.

Belfast left my room as she closed the door. Wow, these pancakes aren't bad. I guess being a little laidback and starting to be semi-supportive/kind could work.

After I finished eating my pancakes I was ready to do work from HQ. As always, doing work from HQ is still a pain in my ass, *sigh*. However, I'll meet a new shipgirl to be my secretary. I wonder what she'll be like...

As I was walking towards my office, I saw Akira washing dishes with Belfast. He faced me and greeted me.

Akira: Hey Minato! So, new secretary?

Minato: Yeah, I wonder what she's like.

Akira: Maybe it's a girl from a new faction? Do you know who it could be, Belfast?

Belfast shook her head as she was scrubbing the dishes.

Akira: Well, I'll just be in the kitchen then. See ya Minato.

Minato: Bye.

I walked towards my office. I opened the door and... Ah, the awful memories of this hell hole... I remember Enterprise breaking my window... twice. I do miss her though. Enterprise and I have been through a lot. From fighting each other... to fighting together... and saving the world with some of her help...

It sure is dusty here though. I decided to grab a broom and sweep the place.

After a while of sweeping, I heard knocking coming from my door.

???: Commander? May I come in?

I heard a very soft kind voice coming behind the door. Maybe this is the new secretary.

I walked towards the door and opened it.

The girl standing has a book covering her mouth. She has a crown on her head, orangish colored hair, pink-purplish eyes. She looks very polite.

Minato: ...

I was just admiring her that I forgot to introduce myself.

The girl moved her book from her mouth and spoke.

???: You're the Commander, correct?

Usually, I'd say "oh, of course, I'm the Commander who else would?" but my conscience wants to be polite to her. I guess I find her cute... and also I guess since Akira is here the question is probably needed.

Minato: Yes, that is correct.

The girl smiled at me.

Richelieu: Bonjour! I'm Richelieu of the Iris Libre. I am your new secretary, Commander.

French huh? Maybe I should've had Mitsuru teach me, French...

Minato: Well, I'm Minato Arisato. The Commander of this place.

Richelieu's POV:

It's very honorable that I'm the 2nd secretary to serve Minato. Minato really is a legendary Commander. No other commander in the world can compete with him! I know the lord would be proud of me for helping him. I decided to ask him a question.

Richelieu: Sorry for giving you a question straight away but... shouldn't a Commander wear their uniform?

Minato scratched the side of his head.

Minato: Well, I did once. Not my style so I use my normal clothes.

I've got to say... he does look way better in these clothes than a Commander's uniform. Wait,
why am I thinking this? I just met him... I don't want Minato to think I'm a yandere...

Minato: Are you okay Richelieu? You've been staring at me for quite a bit.

Richelieu: My apologies Commander! I've just been spacing out.

Minato: It's alright Richelieu. Also, please, don't hesitate to call me Minato. I allow my secretaries to call me by my name.

Richelieu: If you insist. Then I'll call you Minato!

Minato: You know... I think you'll be a great secretary Richelieu.

Richelieu: R-Really Minato?

Minato nodded his head.

Richelieu: Merci beaucoup, Minato!

Minato POV:

I think this bond between Richelieu and I will be a good one. She's definitely not one of those yanderes for sure.

We suddenly heard some knocking and the door opened. It was Takao. Takao came in with a stack of papers. Great... I know who gave her those...

Takao: Hi Minato and uh... oh it's you! The new secretary, Richelieu right?

Richelieu: Oui. You're Takao correct?

Takao: Yep. Well, I got your papers from HQ, Minato.

Minato: Alright...

Richelieu: It's ok Minato, I'm here to help you.

I looked at Richelieu and she had a smile on her face. I smiled back.

Takao: Woah... Minato... is smiling?

Richelieu: Hm? Is that a rare occurrence?

Richelieu looked at Takao.

Takao: Well you see, there's not a lot of things that can make Minato smile. However, with you just smiling at him, I guess that made him smile back. I gotta, say I'm impressed.

Richelieu: That's nice to hear.

Takao: *ahem* Anyways...

Takao walked towards my desk with the stack of papers.

Takao: Here's all the work left from HQ. I've done some of my part, the rest is yours Minato.

Takao: See ya Richelieu and Minato.

Takao then walked out of the room.

Minato: Well, you ready to start, Richelieu?

Richelieu: Of course Minato!

Alright... I suppose I should start with these exercises against other Commanders. Knowing my strength... this will be easy!

Minato: Alright Richelieu. I want you to get these ships, Akira too. Tell them to ready up for this exercise against a Commander's fleet.

Richelieu: Akira?

Minato: He's another male here. He's not a commander he's just my friend. Akira has black frizzy hair and glasses, he should be in the kitchen.

Richelieu: Understood Minato. I'll make you proud!

Richelieu left the room with the paper I gave her.

Hmm... I should probably do some daily constructions. Oh boy... I forgot how long doing papers from HQ takes...

A few Hour Later...

I was doing some work in my very quiet office. No one was around, only me.

*sigh* This work sure is exhausting... I wonder what Richelieu is doing...

I then heard some noise coming outside the window. I decided to investigate and looked out my window.

I saw my Main fleet and Akira coming back from the exercise.

Akira's POV:

Akira(Joker): Hahahahaha! That was soooo easy! Hey Nagato, you're getting even more stronger!

Nagato: Hehe... well it's thanks to you that I became this strong.

Laffey: I'm... pretty... tired... *yawn*

Akira(Joker): I can carry you on my back if you want, Laffey.

Laffey nodded her head.

Warspite: Do stay focused Joker...

Akira(Joker): What do you mean!? I'm carrying this fleet!

Warspite: No I am!!! You literally almost died because of a MEME FLEET!

Akira(Joker): OK SO WHAT? IM NOT THE ONE WHO SAYS DESPACITO EVERY TIME THEIR SKILL IS ACTIVATED!

Warspite: Grrrr....

Akira(Joker): Grrrr...

Warspite pointed her sword at me and I pointed my dagger at her.

Essex: *sigh* You two always at it...

Akira(Joker) & Warspite: SHUT IT ESSEX!

Essex:

Bremerton: This is getting funny! I need to post this on my Juustagram!

Baltimore: Ehehe... what a unique fleet we have.

Minato's POV:

Well they seem to be having fun.

I then heard a knock coming from my door.

Minato: You may enter.

The door opened revealing Richelieu.

Richelieu: Salut Minato.

Minato: Welcome back Richelieu.

Richelieu: I came back to tell you that everything from HQ should be done, Minato.

Minato: Huh? I thought I had all of them.

Richelieu: Ehhh... well... you did fall asleep...

Crap I did...

Flashback

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Richelieu: Ello? Minato I've finish some of the work. Eh?

Minato: Zzzzzz...

Richelieu: Aw... he's sleeping

I looked at his sleepy face, it sure looks cute...

Richelieu: He... he sure does look very peaceful when he's asleep. Well, I'll just finish most of his work then.

End of Flashback

Richelieu *whispers* I saw ur cute face sleeping...

Minato: What?

Richelieu: *ahem* It is alright though. I took care of your work.

Minato: Wow... thanks Richelieu.

Richelieu: Hehehe~ No problem. Also... one question.

Minato: Go ahead.

Richelieu: Is there a third male with grey hair in this port?

My body then froze.

What could she mean?

Grey hair? A guy?

Minato: Do you know his appearance?

Richelieu: Well... I didn't see him completely. I think he has glasses and he seems pretty tall.

Minato: Narukami...

Richelieu: Eh?

Minato: I know who he is. Do you recall his location?

Richelieu: Hmmm... the last place I saw him was... the kitchen.

Minato: The kitchen? Why would he go there...? AKIRA!

I got up from my seat and walked towards my door.

Richelieu: Can I come with you Minato?

Minato: Yeah, you can come with me.

Richelieu and I then left my office and we walked towards the kitchen.

As we got to the kitchen, I saw Yu.

Minato: Narukami!

I pointed at him

Yu: Arisato!

He pointed at me back.

Minato: Akira?

Akira: Yo.

Yu: Surprised to see me, Minato?

Minato: H-How did you come here?

Yu: Akira told me.

Akira: Hey, the guy heard you saving the world so he decided to check it out. I brought him here.

Minato: Great...

Yu: Heh, don't worry pal! I'll help you. Maybe. I want to do some exploring here myself actually.

Yu: Hey... whose that girl?

Yu pointed at Richelieu.

Richelieu: My name is Richelieu. Pleasure to meet you, Yu.

Yu: Hmm... is she your girlfriend, Minato?

Hearing those words, Richelieu's face started becoming red.

Minato: Well we aren't THAT close. She's just my secretary.

Yu: I see... well... I'll just be exploring this world.

Minato: You're not staying?

Yu: Nah, I'll be solo.

Akira: Suit yourself.

Yu left the kitchen and proceeded outside.

Minato: You okay Richelieu?

Richelieu: *Ahem* Y-Yes. I am alright, he is just... unexpected with his words of choice.

Richelieu: One more thing, Minato. A new ship has been completed at the shipyard.

Minato: Who is it?

Richelieu: One of my allies, Saint Louis.

Akira: Yoooo St. Louis???? She ain't bad not gonna lie.

Richelieu then grabbed a baguette and hit Akira with it.

BONK!

Akira: OW!

Richelieu: Saint Louis, not St. Louis from the Eagle Union.

Minato: Well I'm feeling a bit tired. Why don't we rest up and go check tomorrow?

Richelieu: *yawn* Well I am a bit tired myself. Alright, let's rest then, Minato.

Akira: Hehehe, that sounds like if you two are gonna sleep in bed together!

BONK!

Akira: OW!!!

Richelieu: Pardon, monsieur naughty thoughts.

Akira: Hey! I don't have naughty thoughts! I was just joking!!

Richelieu: Well then, au revoir Minato~

Richelieu walked away and headed to her dorm.

Minato: Tough Frenchie, eh?

Akira: Whatever, I'm going to bed.

Akira then left, I did too.

A few minutes later...

I looked out my window and stared into the moon's light.

Minato: Saint Louis huh... I hope she isn't a yandere. I now have another ally on base, another persona user. I wonder how tomorrow will go... Richelieu and I are deepening our bonds... Akira too with Nagato... I wonder what Yu will do here... well time to rest.
