Yamato wakes up with a small headache. She clearly did some drinking with the girls last night. Yamato raised her head up, and looked around the room to only realize she wasn't in her assigned room, but in someone else's, and that someone was the Admiral. Yamato was sleeping on top of him.
The empress tries to get off him, but something was preventing that from happening because Yamato felt something wrapping around her from the back, it was the Admiral's arm. Yamato is stuck until the Admiral wakes up. She looked at his sleeping face, so defenseless, so cute, so peaceful.
"[One kiss won't hurt anyone, right?]" Yamato thought, gently kissing the sleeping Admiral on the lips.

[Location: Somewhere in Tokyo]
[Time: 0900 Hours]
Yamato, and the rest of the shipgirls, who weren't part of the quarter finals, decided to go around Tokyo, the capital city of the rising sun. Japan.
Walking around the most busiest city in Japan was quite hard, especially if you're the empress of the Sakura Empire. Yamato had to be surrounded by the shipgirls to prevent people going near her, and to prevent any kidnapping attempts. Aside from that, they had an enjoyable day going around the massive city.
"Why does Japan have so many vending machines?" New Jersey asked.
"For convenience purposes." Helena asked. "Many workers of Japan have only little time because some of them have meetings to attend, so the government placed so many vending machines to let the workers get something onto go."
"There's only weird vending machines like a vending machine that sells "used" panties." Drake said.
"You gotta be joking, right?" New Jersey asked, but the shipgirls just stared at her. "Bruh, who in the fucking world would buy "used" panties!?"
"Weirdos." The shipgirls said in unison.
The shipgirls continued to walk around until something caught Yamato's eye, it was some kind of dojo next to a cafè. Yamato went to the dojo where a man wearing a traditional samurai outfit was sharpening a katana. The man noticed the empress, then he immediately stood up before bowing to show respect.
"Empress Yamato! Welcome!" The man said.
"What's this dojo?" Yamato asked.
"Oh, this is not really a dojo, Empress. This area is connected to the cafe where customers can win a free drink of their choosing if they manage to cut 5 bamboo sticks with a katana in one swing." The man explained.
"Interesting, may I?" Yamato asked, to which the man repeatedly nodded.
"Sure! Here you go." The man said, giving the katana.
Yamato took the katana from the man's hand then inspected it, the shipgirls watched the empress from behind as they were curious if she could cut the 5 bamboo sticks with one swing. Many people who were in the area curiously watched as well.
"Can I have the sheath of the katana?" Yamato asked, and the man gave it without hesitation.
Yamato sheaths the katana then places it near her left hips, the empress does a fighting stand as her thumb was near the katana's guard. Yamato took a deep breath before exhaling, the empress pushed up the katana's guard with her thumb, and grabbed it by the handle.
"Slay all…" Yamato muttered.
Without even fully pulling the katana out of the sheath, the empress placed it back inside the sheath as everyone who was watching was quiet, and the sound of clicking can be heard.
The 5 bamboo sticks, and the surrounding sticks got sliced in half. Everyone slowly widened their eyes in shock after witnessing what happened. Actually, they were shocked because they didn't know what just happened. It was too fast for a normal human or shipgirl to see with their naked eyes.
"What the fuck just happened?" Cleveland asked.
"Y-you won, Empress!" The man said.
"Sis, what did you just do?" Shinano asked.
"If you use your motivation as raw power, you can do anything that is considered unnatural." Yamato said. "[Vergil, I hope your proud of me.]"

[Location: Back in the hotel]
Yamato got herself some french fries from the restaurant, and she was about to head back to her room to watch some TV all alone because Shinano will be in the hot springs for a while. Yamato turned to the lobby, then she saw the Admiral, and Angela talking with each other.
Yamato retreated back, and hid behind the wall while looking at them. She couldn't hear them talking due to the distance to which her enhanced hearing senses couldn't pick up. Yamato just watched them talking with each other not in a creepy way because she was also eating her fries as if she was watching a drama show or movie.
Yamato sees Angela moving in for a hug while the Admiral didn't do anything, and just stood there not hugging back at all, the empress' blood boiled seeing this shameless cheating woman hugging her Admiral. The Admiral pushed the woman away as he pointed at her as he talked about something.
The guard that was assigned to Angela, dragged the woman away from the Admiral as he placed his hand on his face and fixed his hair. The Admiral was clearly stressed after talking with the woman, the empress came out from her hiding place, and approached the Admiral to wonder what he, and the cheating woman talked about.
"Hey, Admiral. I saw you, and Admiral Angela talking with each other before she got dragged out." Yamato said.
"Oh, sorry you had to see that, Yamato." Justin apologized. "She was being unprofessional because she kept talking about our past which I already moved on from. Angela doesn't stop talking about how we should get back together, and she will be a better wife. I understand that she wants another chance to try to fix everything, but the damage has been done."
"I understand what you're saying." Yamato said. "Do you hate her?"
"You can't hate someone forever, you're bound to forgive that person in your lifetime. Others forgive the people they once hated in their deathbeds or in a life threatening situation, but it really depends on the situation." Justin paused to breathe some air before continuing. "I don't hate Angela, but I hated how she destroyed something we built together, a good, and healthy relationship instantly gone when she did it for the first time. But hey, there's many fishes in the ocean."
Justin chuckled, he pats the shoulder of Yamato as he walks away as the empress watches. Yamato decided to head towards the hot springs, and join her little sister in the calming warm water together as she thought about what the Admiral said.
