Azur Lane: Silent Service
Chapter 28 - Future Plans

In my precious spare time. My useless activities were filled by reading the report papers piled up in the Eagle Union command room. The paper contains requests for training on the use of Mark-50 torpedoes in anti-submarine warfare. The owner and developer of the weapon was a shadow company controlled by my childhood friend. I'm just a freight service provider selling it through my childhood friend.

The graph of numbers listed on the report paper penetrated the units of numbers that have been determined and skyrocketed upward.

In other words, this business idea has filled my wind-filled wallet into a cash-strapped mess.

Demand for the Mark-50 torpedo soared rapidly after purchase recommendations were given to Eagle Union ships.

“Excuse me, Commander Altair. There's a letter addressed to you.”

Right beside me, Helena gave an official letter engraved with the Azur Lane emblem with a blue ribbon as a letter seal.

“Who sent it?” my many.

“One of the destroyers of the Iron Blood faction gave the letter to me. Behind the letter was the name of the recipient from the Eagle Union faction. Looks like Commander Altair became a hot source of gossip for the other factions” Helena replied.

I looked at the back of the letter. The recipient of this letter is me as Helena said.

*Sraaac!!

When I opened the letter, an elegantly composed handwriting asked me to fill in one of the subjects discussing anti-submarine combat. The special class is located in Lecture Hall on the main island of Azur Lane.

“Don't you guys have your own submarine hunting tactics?” I said as I squeezed the letter into a lump of paper ball and threw it in the trash.

“Altair, they just want us to share tactics to fellow alliance Azur Lane” said my childhood friend.

“Good plan, but it will destroy all the plans I'm making.”

“You really want to do that?” ask my childhood friend in a small tone who doubts my plans.

“Of course! I don't want to work as their research doll!” myrag.

Well, that's just bullshit. The past this body has experienced is not important to me. I'm just a wandering soul who just happened to possess this body. Removing the burden of life that binds this body is like cleansing the new soul to a new body! Because this body is mine!

“In theory.. It can be done. But you must do it perfectly to deceive them. Eagle Union superiors will send special units to search for the whereabouts of the Seawolf submarine and the wreck of your body.”

“I know that, that's why I use sea waters that have uncertain depths with extreme weather conditions around it.”

“Aah.. I understand your plan, Barents Sea, don't I? The distance between the main base of Azur Lane and Barents Sea is very far! Can't you think of a closer place for your funeral?”

“Barents Sea is a suitable habitat for submarines! With the ice sheet sitting on its surface it becomes an effective protection that reflects sound back into the ocean. Best place to disappear and escape for submarines.”

“I know that, but the depth of the sea in this place is enough to bury Seawolf's submarine and your tragic death. I have set up a backup account and fake identity if needed.”

“K-You really want to see me die, huh?” I said with a cynical tone.

“Isn't that your request?” reply to my childhood friend.

Yep, that was my request based on the Quest I received.

Until now, the Quest I was running was still running without any time restrictions. While carrying out the funeral procession of the USS Seawolf, I developed the design of a replacement submarine. The third generation of Seawolf-class and Ohio-class submarines, based on the theory that I have in my head, are a combination of SSBN and SSGN types of submarines. In terms of weaponry, I can use ballistic missiles or heavy-destroying missiles against surface ships. Before becoming an SSGN submarine, the Ohio-class used a Vertical Lauching System containing Trident I or Trident II. After undergoing changes to the type of submarine, Ohio-class SSGN changed its main weapon to Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. One ballistic missile is replaced with seven Tomahawk Cruise Missiles and if totaled based on the number of Vertical Launching System his becomes 154 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles for one SSGN type submarine.

A submarine carrying such heavy weaponry.

Feels very Over Power, doesn't it?

“My small question answer, Altair. After you're dead, how do I contact you? Are you going to disappear like any other Seawolf unit?” that important question was asked from my childhood friend.

In response to that question, I laid my body on the sofa and thought hard to answer it. My goal in this world is not to destroy the siren or to work like a horse in a race but rather my hidden desire to see the ship girl up close.

I mean, this is the perfect world for a ship maniac like me. There are some boats that are still untouched and have a legal child look outside.

Waitaminute! There's no FBI in the world, right? It's still relatively safe, isn't it?

Age, they're an old ship!

That meant.. I have a great opportunity to satisfy my pent-up desire for the ship girls. Moreover, there were several large ships that caught my attention. Their large assets exposed like allowing me to touch it. As a healthy adult man, I must get that huge asset in my hands!

This ambition..

I don't know why it feels dejavu.

When was the last time I was like this?

Ah, true! The same ambition to raise money before drowning in the ocean.

A quail! If only I hadn't fulfilled my ambition. Perhaps, I am still a NEET staring at the beloved Waifu Live 2D screen.

But thanks to that death. I entered the world of Azur Lane which contained kawaii ships.

Kukuku's.. It is not bad to come back to life and possess the body of another. Moreover, the torpedo shape of this body was larger than before. NTR will feel easier and more fun with my torpedo attack.

No ship is safe for torpedo attacks!

I think it's time I think about the next step. For that, I will set my personal goals above all else!

“A-What are you planning, Altair?” the voice of doubt rang out from the mouth of my childhood friend.

“Do I look like someone who has a plan?” reply brief.

“K-You know, people like you are so hard to guess! Reports of your actions breaking Eagle Union rules became everyday food! You've been troubling Eagle Union's chain of command non-stop!”

“That's why I want to leave the Eagle Union faction. You will not be troubled anymore.”

“You really want to leave the Eagle Union faction, huh?”

“Yes, Admiral! When do you want to question such a clear answer?”

“You don't want to change your mind? Isn't the position offered by Admirality Code very tempting?”

“Such a position is not suitable for myself.”

“Alright, I understand your wish. It's just.”

“Yap, I know. You have to take care of my incident report naturally without engineering. You should also practice, Helena.”

“Eh? A-I?” helena said stammeringly.

“Lies will be quickly uncovered if there are two reports that break the sequence of events. So, I leave everything to you!” I said as I walked towards the exit.

*Ctaaaaak!

After closing the door of the Eagle Union command room, I walked down the Eagle Union building and stopped at the wide-open glass window. The wind blew out and the waving curtains showed a long white hair stuck between the glass windows.

This hair..

Isn't this..

At that instant, I felt the smell of tea flying in the wind and the presence of someone behind me..

“What are you doing, Belfast? Oho! Should I mention your full name while on duty, HMS Belfast?” I said while pulling the white hair stuck in the glass window.

Behind me came the sound of footsteps approaching me. From the reflection of the window glass, I saw the figure of Maid girl wearing a mask on her face.

“Kurasa, this thing is no longer useful” said the girl while opening her face mask.

“Mr Altair, you get an invitation to dinner with Queen Elizabeth. Does Mr Altair have free time to attend?”

The Maid in front of me was my first wife when I had the first ring in the Azur Lane game. His special body shape and Maid uniform are a deadly combination for me.

So, with the free ring given by Yostar. I thoughtlessly married this girl before Yostar took out another Maid-Maid that hooked me into marrying Maid.

Hm.. If I join the Royal Navy. That means I have a Maid kingdom that always serves its Master?

Whatisthis? Why does anyone stand up but not justice?

I don't want to waste this great opportunity and..

“Can I touch your chest?”

“Eh?”

Upps.. It seems I was too excited and said my hidden intentions.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Altair. But it was a disrespectful act to do in a public space. If Mr. Altair wants to do so, I am ready to serve that need in a private room.”

What The HELL!!

I got the green light for this?!

Thank You My First Wife!!

Without thinking any longer, I pulled Belfast's hand and took it to my private room. For reasons I don't want to tell you about, we're just talking about a business relationship in my private room.

Yep, business cooperation between myself and the Royal Navy faction.

B-Not that means we're doing extreme scenes that are draining or something.

We were only joking with heavy breaths that adorned my personal space.

Speaking of private space, Sofia volunteered to join in this small battle. We are working together to defeat the light cruiser of the Royal Navy with very satisfactory results.

After that little battle, I realized that Belfast had a safety that had not been broken by its Admiral. That meant.. My wife is too faithful to wait for her husband?
