Chapter 11 - 10
It's dark. My body hurts. I can't move my arms and legs. Did I sunk? Is this my end? Aww~ I wanted to live a little longer. There are so many things I wanted to do. So many things I wanted to do with Admiral.
Wait a minute. It feels like something is holding my arms and legs together. I tried to wiggle my arms and felt something rubbing against them.
I'm tied up!
So I didnt sink. Thank god! I'm so glad! But where am I? How long has it been since I'm here?
"

I can hear voices, but I can't understand them. English?
Did I just hear them say Sakura?
I tried struggling from my restraints, but I can't get out.
What are they saying? I can't understand a single thing.
I can feel a hand reach out to my face and behind my head. Light slowly enters my vision as I try to adjust my eyes. I knew it. My hands and feet are bound by ropes. My clothes are torn and I can't find my equipment anywhere. It looks like I'm in some kind of cave. In front of me were 4 girls. I recognize three of them. The one with the bow, the white lady with humongous jugs, how enviable, and the one who used the spear to attack me. They were part of the fleet which attacked us. I don't recognize the last one. Her hair was purple and, like the busty woman, wore a white dress. She is even clutching a unicorn plusher in her hands. What is a child doing here? The four them just stood there staring at me. An overwhelming wave of terror suddenly washed over me.
Why? Why are they scaring me so much? I want to go home! Admiral, save me!
I can feel something wet flow down my cheek. Before I knew it, more came flowing down.
The white lady, the spear girl and the archer lady seem to be quarrelling about something. I don't care! I want to get out but I can't move! All I can do is just sit here and tremble in fear.
"uuuggghhhh...."
I don't know what the archer lady is saying, but she is getting too close to me!! "Waaahhh!!!" Another one appeared!! This time it's the one in the maid outfit. "Eeeeek!!!" The archer lady approached me once again ,arms outstretched. "No!! Stay away from me!!!" I shut my eyes, bracing for whatever that was going to happen. ... Hmm? I don't feel any pain. Instead, my hands are legs feel free. I slowly open my eyes. The ropes tying me hands and feet together have been removed. The white girl with the unicorn doll came and gave me a blanket. Eh? Am I free now? No. They must be up to something This must be a ploy to make me lead them back to the naval base. As much as I want to get out of here, I have to endure. For the sake of everyone else. The spear girl handed me a packet of tissues. I think she asking me to wipe my face. I took a few pieces and blew my nose. She had a excited look on her face All of them seem excited all of the sudden. What's going to happen? The four of them led me outside the cave. After passing through some plants, we reached what looks like a hut. In front of it was a a large table and six chairs. They went ahead I took a seat. The girl with the unicorn doll looked at me and pat the seat beside her. I think she is asking me to sit next to her. Once we were all seated, the maid came out with a tea cart. She placed some cakes in the middle of the table, set up the cups and poured some sweet smelling liquid into the cups. It smells like the English tea Kongo used to make before she transfer to Sasebo. The unicorn girl blew on the the cup before pretending to bring it up to her mouth. The maid sat across the table, opposite me. She held a bunch of placards. "Hello, my name is Belfast. What's yours?" Suddenly the maid spoke in Japanese. So there is someone who I can communicate with. "Zuihou." "Alright Zuihou. I'm going to ask some questions, alright? Just try to answer them. Understood?" (Belfast) "Where am I?" "I'll answer your questions later. For now, just answer mine." (Belfast) Looks like I don't have a choice. The first picture she showed me was a some kind of logo. It looks like a Cherry Blossom. "Do you know what is this?" (Belfast) "A Cherry Blossom?" "You're not wrong. This is the Sakura Empire emblem. Are you from the Sakura Empire?" (Belfast) The Sakura Empire? What is that? Sounds like some kind of shady cult. "No. I'm not." "Ok. Next. Do you know is this?" (Belfast) The next picture was some kind of black ship. It reminds me of those large cruise sh.i.p.s. I want to ride one someday. "A ship?" "Hmm... ok. Do you know who this lady is?" (Belfast) The next picture was a lady with in red kimono dress. She has long brown hair and red eyes. The part that really caught my attention was the nine tails on her back. Is she a kitsune? "A kitsune?" "Kitsune?" (Belfast) "Erm... A fox ghost." I don't know how to explain what a kitsune is to her. Heck, I don't think she fully understands me. This will take a while.
