- Dream of Taiie, Motoyoshi Channel on Jiyuu III
The Dream of Taiie
Motoyoshi Channel, Off the Coast of the Jiyuu-jō
Early YE 43 (New Year's Vacation)
The Dream of Taiie bobbed up and down on the gentle waves that pushed up the Motoyshi Channel, the private island where Jiyuu-jo's towering form stood in the background with the rise of skyscrapers lurking in the distance as the Old and New Tokyo cities stretched towards the blue sky and fluffy white clouds. The sub-tropical weather of the Tokyo region on Jiyuu III didn't have the snow that Kyoto had, but that made for pleasant days to sail around the harbors. The Galleon owned by Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko was among the many boats and pleasure craft in the harbor, they had spent two days already in the Hideyo Islands prior.
Yuka stretched out a bit on the sunny bow of the ship, and let out a lazy yawn as she reached for her margarita and took a sip. "Ayano-chan, are you awake?" she asked, as she yanked the string on her bikini top to sun her upper half without the worry of tan-lines.
"Yeah, I was just thinking, last year was crazy. This is the first chance I've had to even let it all soak in," the black-haired NH-33 Chujo sat up and followed suit to take off the upper part of her bikini. "I didn't think I would ever end up commanding a Star Fortress, especially not Gemini."
Yuka chuckled, it had been years since she left the Star Army to take over the reins of the clan's corporate ventures. "What are you going to do when you end up in the command chair of the YSS Tokyo? Running the whole fleet when Katsuko goes to pursue things beyond the Star Army?" she asked, she had tried to fit the question in several times during their trip, this was the first she felt it was most natural.
Ayano reached for her drink, Yuka's words soaking in as she drank. "What do you mean beyond the Star Army? I couldn't see Katsuko doing anything else."
Yuka reached for the sun lotion and squirted some out onto her hand, she moved behind Ayano and began to apply it to her shoulders. "Come on, Ayano. Surely you're not that naive. Katsuko has had us all working hard to restore the Clan, the Bakufu, expand the Corporation, and our influence. I could see her running for the Senate, or maybe even Primier. What would you think of that?"
The off-duty Chujo shrugged and leaned back into the massaging hands of Yuka, "Katsuko entering politics again, I mean...I would support her, but why do you think I would get command of the Fleet?" she asked, curious as to what Yuka was thinking.
Yuka handed the bottle of lotion over Ayano's shoulders, "Think about it, Eri will follow her wherever she goes. Kaoru is still a Taisa and you're commanding the Fleet's Headquarters. You're being groomed for her spot," she suggested as they switched positions.
Ayano shook her head and shrugged, "I will go wherever Katsuko and the Star Army needs me to."
Yuka laughed again and downed the rest of her Margarita as Ayano rubbed the lotion over her, "So humble Motoyoshi-Yamada Ayano, so humble and I'm only being theoretical of course. You never know what the future will bring. I just think you should be ready to look at new opportunities. You've been a Chujo for a long time, and you've been loyal to Yamatai and to Katsuko, you're not muddied with the tainted past some of us are."
