"München's Secret"

Part 1

In the Ironblood faction, a secret had been kept hidden from the rest of the world. A new shipgirl, München, had manifested, inspired by the planned M-class cruisers of the German Kriegsmarine. She stood at 5'4" with a slender yet athletic build, her silver-colored hair styled in a short, sleek bob. Her eyes sparkled with a mix of kindness and intelligence, a trait that would soon make her a valuable asset to the Ironblood. München's design reflected her intended purpose as a commerce raider. Her rigging was equipped with a main battery of eight 15 cm L/55 quick-firing guns, perfect for surface engagements. Her anti-aircraft battery consisted of four 8.8 cm L/76 AA guns, eight 3.7 cm AA guns, and four 2 cm AA guns, making her a formidable opponent in the skies. Her propulsion system combined diesel and steam turbines, allowing her to reach speeds of up to 35.5 knots. Despite her impressive capabilities, München felt like an outcast. She was the only one of her class, and the weight of her uniqueness bore down on her. In her diary, she confided in the pages about her feelings of isolation and her desire to prove herself. She even wrote about planning a mission to the Mirror Sea, a place where Sirens like Purifier roamed, with the intention of confronting them head-on. Unbeknownst to München, her diary had been discovered by Z-23, a fellow Ironblood shipgirl. Z-23 had taken the liberty of sharing München's concerns with Bismarck, who had then decided to keep a close eye on her. The Ironblood faction, led by Bismarck, made sure München was subtly watched over, with ships like U-556, Roon, and Z-23 keeping tabs on her from a distance. Roon, in particular, took it upon herself to care for München. She would often stay in München's dorm, checking on her and reporting back to Bismarck. München, however, remained oblivious to the attention, too dense to notice the subtle care being shown to her. Prinz Eugen, another prominent Ironblood shipgirl, had developed a crush on München. She would often tease München, hinting at her feelings, but München remained unaware of Prinz Eugen's affections. As the days passed, München continued to serve the Ironblood faction, her skills in combat and navigation proving invaluable. However, her sadness and withdrawal persisted, hidden beneath a façade of kindness and sweetness. One day, while on patrol, München received a message from Bismarck, assigning her to an escort mission. München didn't suspect a thing, but unbeknownst to her, this was just another attempt by the Ironblood faction to keep her safe. As she set off on her mission, München couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She was being watched, and not just by the Sirens. The Ironblood faction was keeping an eye on her, waiting for her to make a move that might put her in harm's way. Little did München know, her life was about to take a dramatic turn, one that would challenge her perceptions of herself and the world around her. The Sirens were closing in, and München's unique abilities made her a prime target. The question was, would she be able to cope with the pressures of being a shipgirl, or would her secrets tear her apart? The mission ahead of her seemed straightforward, but München couldn't shake off the feeling that she was walking into a trap. The sea was full of dangers, and she was about to face them head-on. With her guns at the ready and her heart full of determination, München steamed forward, into the unknown.
