Azur Lane: Ship of Fate, Unsinkable Bulolo

From Royal To Subordinate

QE: (Screams loudly as Reliant pulls her out with ease, and then put down)

Reliant: (Slaps her hands) Job done. Now, I need to help the 2nd Relief Fleet's ships ready. (Runs off back to the docks)

QE: I better get to my chamber and get properly dressed. Excuse me, ladies. (Walks off with sand covering her royal pyjamas)

AE2: She's going to need quite the shower, ey?

Kormoran: Ja, und a long one too.

Timeskip, a few minutes

After having a nice long and warm shower to remove the sand from her, Queen Elizabeth headed for the dockyard when Nagato (AL) walked by her, having quite the smug on her face.

Nagato (AL): Enjoyed your little night at the beach, Liz?

QE: Naga, please. Don't do it again if you're sent on one of the relief fleets after me. Already got some bruises from this prank of yours.

Nagato (AL): All me and Arashio (AL) was bury you in sand, making sure it was also comfortable. How'd you get bruises?

QE: Ask Reliant if you know how despite her size, she's really strong.

Nagato (AL): Should have thought of that. Anyway, I hope to join you when the next relief fleet is to be assembled. Mata sugu ni o ai shimashou, watashi no itoshī joō-sama. (See you soon, my lovely Queen.)

QE: Until next time, my beloved kitsune.

The two super dreadnoughts, lost in their own world and thinking they were alone, felt that they needed have a nice, long mouth-to-mouth moment. What they didn't notice was Karrabee walking through the hallways as she had nothing to do for the day... until she stumbled into the two kissing each other, which prompted her to tell the one shipgirl who would have a field day. She entered the main office where the other leaders but instead, she was there for her college.

Karrabee: Sorry if I'm interrupting something but... Baragoola, can I have a word with you in private?

Baragoola: Of course. We are Public Transport Commission ferries, even our origins differ. Excuse me, leaders. This is between Sydney ferries.

Enterprise: None taken. She's your college from the same world as you.

Baragoola: Thank you, Enterprise. (Stands up and walks out of the office with Karrabee for somewhere private) Right... what is it, Karrabee? Something important?

Karrabee: Well... it appears this base has an extra couple that we were unaware of, until I might have stumbled into it.

Baragoola: Another couple? Who are the lucky girls?

Karrabee: Queen Elizabeth and Nagato (AL). That smooching they were doing implies that they've been a couple for a long while.

Baragoola: Interesting... I might have an idea for the 3rd Relief Fleet.

Karrabee: That's the Binngarra-class I know.

Baragoola: I'm of the Manly runners. Don't expect less from those of the Port Jackson & Manly Steamship Company.

Karrabee: Don't need to rub the old PJ&MSC in front of me because I'm ex-Sydney Ferries Ltd.

Baragoola: Trust me. I know exactly what to do. (Heads back into the office and to her seat)

Enterprise: What did Karrabee need you for?

Baragoola: Sorry, Enterprise. Sydney ferry business, not a military matter.

Melbourne: That's OK then. Now, what do we do with those ships?

Timeskip, some time later

After a long time of preparation, the 2nd Relief Fleet was ready to depart but it was now a headache as fog had rolled in and given now this was the fifth straight day it had blanket. For Azur Lane, this was just getting annoying as it was now clear that this fog ain't moving anywhere. Whatever the weather, they had to go and thanks to position of the gate now being properly marked, they could head for it aid from just their radar. As the seven ships departed the harbour, Baragoola thought it was time to pounce.
