# Chapter: The Unseen Ironblood

München, a shipgirl of the Ironblood faction, stood on the deck of her ship, gazing out at the vast expanse of the ocean. Her silver-colored hair fluttered in the gentle breeze, and her piercing blue eyes seemed to hold a deep sadness. She was a kind and sweet soul, known for her exceptional cooking and baking skills, which often brought joy to her fellow shipgirls. However, München's life wasn't without its challenges. As the only shipgirl of her class, she struggled with feelings of isolation and loneliness. Her diary, filled with her innermost thoughts and feelings, was a testament to her emotional turmoil. In it, she wrote about her desire to sail to the Mirror Sea, a place where the Sirens roamed, and confront them, particularly the Purifier, who had become a symbol of her pain. Unbeknownst to München, her diary had been discovered by Z-23, a fellow Ironblood shipgirl, who had taken it to Bismarck, the leader of the Ironblood faction. Bismarck, concerned for München's well-being, had decided to keep a close eye on her, subtly assigning other shipgirls to watch over her. Prinz Eugen, a charismatic and teasing heavy cruiser, had developed a crush on München, often hinting at her feelings when teasing her. However, München, oblivious to Prinz Eugen's affections, remained focused on her duties as a shipgirl. One day, München decided to go on a solo patrol, unaware that she was being watched by a group of Ironblood shipgirls, including Roon, Graf Zeppelin, Friedrich der Große, U-556, Prinz Hipper, and Odin. They had been tasked by Bismarck to ensure München's safety, knowing that she had planned to sail to the Mirror Sea. As München set off on her patrol, she was met with a mix of emotions. She was determined to confront the Sirens, but also anxious about the potential dangers that lay ahead. Meanwhile, her watchers followed her from a distance, ready to intervene if needed. The question was, for how long would they continue to follow her, and what would be the reasons behind their actions? Would München's solo patrol lead to a confrontation with the Sirens, or would she return to the safety of her base? As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that München's manifestation was a secret known only within the Ironblood faction. Azur Lane, the opposing faction, remained unaware of her existence, but their intelligence suggested that Ironblood had acquired a new, powerful shipgirl. The implications of München's existence were significant, and Azur Lane's leadership, including Queen Elizabeth, Enterprise, Warspite, Belfast, Hornet, New Jersey, King George V, and Sheffield, gathered to discuss the little information they had about her. They knew that München's design was based on the cancelled M-class cruisers, a class of ships that had been planned but never built. With this new information, Azur Lane decided to increase their patrols in the Atlantic Ocean and North Sea, hoping to catch a glimpse of München and understand her capabilities. The Royal Navy, in particular, began to scan the seas for any sign of the mysterious Ironblood shipgirl. As tensions rose, München's actions became more critical. Would she become a game-changer in the conflict between Azur Lane and Ironblood, or would she remain a secret, hidden from the prying eyes of the enemy? The fate of München, and the consequences of her existence, hung in the balance. The story of München, the unseen Ironblood shipgirl, was only just beginning. Her journey, filled with danger, uncertainty, and self-discovery, would take her to the depths of the ocean and test the limits of her strength and courage. To be continued...
