Vanguard. The Head Guard of the Royal Navy Palace guard, A Woman known to be a serious, Elegant woman with large dedication of Serving her Faction and Queen. However even she, has secrets.

Azur Lane Port, Royal Navy's Gardens 3:30 AM

You were currently walking along the Gardens that the Royal Navy had, it was a stark contrast to the Mountains of Paperwork inside your office. It was the perfect place to relax and refresh your brain.

Then you heard the sound of pages being flipped somewhere. Letting curiosity led you. You followed the sound, only to find yourself in a Gazebo, inside was a Beautiful Woman. Her Blonde Hair kept neatly with a Black bow to keep it together, her Blue eyes reflecting the oceans, and her Sabre was placed next to her as the Woman sat on a chair with a small bowl of Snacks on the small table next to her. Taking a closer look, she looked reading what looked to be Manga about a Female Knight and a Prince.

Vanguard looked to be extremely focused on reading the book that she didn't notice your presence. She muttered silently to herself.

"Ah~ the new book is so delightful! I'm at the edge of my seat from this! I wonder if the Heroine will save the Prince.."

Vanguard was currently imagining herself being the Heroine and.. a certain someone being the Prince, however she was pulled out of her daydreaming when she noticed something.

"!!"

In the corner of her eye she saw a familiar silhouette and Quickly cut herself off as she abruptly stood up and hid the Manga behind her as the Battleship smiled nervously at you, a faint blush adorning her cheeks.

"S-Shikikan!? What're you doing here!?" Vanguard asked as she tried to act like her Serious and Elegant-Self. Which was failing due to her embarrassment and her body being stiff as a statue. Which was understandable considering you just found out the Shipgirl's secret hobby of being an Otaku.
