“She's amazing,” Kongou says flatly. “She stood up against TWO battleships that drove me off...” she lets her head donk against the desk again. “And she stays by your side quietly... always with you... never annoys teitoku, never gets scolded, is always a good girl...” Kongou's hands slip from yours and flop on the desk limply. “...operated on by teitoku personally, helps teitoku with paperwork in his office, rescues teitoku from Kongou sisters-”

“Uh, Kongou-”

“-rides in a nice boat with teitoku, watches teitoku sleep and he tdoesn't even scream when he wakes up and sees her and she gets to sleep on teitoku's chest without giving him a special drink first-”

“KONGOU!”

Kongou covers the back of her head with her hands, her back shaking slightly as she sniffles. Haruna strokes her hair gently, giving you a sad smile of apology.

“Is... that what a teitokou wants?” Kongou asks quietly. “A g-good girl? A quiet girl?”

You feel your heart sink as Kongou's bubbly presence pops before your careless question. “You really love him, don't you?”

Kongou sniffles louder and scrunches up a bit more. Haruna gives you an even sadder smile and nods affirmation, a tear trickling down her cheek.
You sigh, then lean forward, bracing on your elbows, picking your words carefully. “Kongou, my first thought was to tell you not to come in so hot-”

“BURNING! LOVE!” Kongou exclaims, sitting bolt upright so fast that her long hair whips you in the face. She slams her fists into the desk, making the tea service rattle. Her eyes are red and puffy, tears streaming down her face. “MY LOVE IS BURNING. LOVE! WHY CAN'T HE SEE THAT?”

You hold up a palm for calm, no stranger to impassioned pleas from young ensigns who discovered their True Love at the last port call. “So are you trying to win his heart every time you kick down his door?”

Kongou crosses her arms, her mouth curled downward in a miserably sad little quavery frown. “M-m-my e-endless d-d-evotion w-w-ill-”

“Kongou,” you cut her off. “Why can't you leave him alo-”

“BURNING LOVE!” she roars, beating the desk again. “BURNING. LOVE. BURNING. LOVE. BURNING. LOVE-” she begins alternating fists, tears streaming down her face as the tea service rattles dangerously. You feel your heart sinking again - you have always, *always* been terrible with women, never knowing what to say to keep it light, and when you need to say it straight you always end up too blunt, too raw. “Kongou, please stop-”

“I C-CAN'T S-STOP, Y-Y-YANKEETOKU M-M-MADE M-M-ME C-C-RY,” she sobs. Haruna holds out a teacup and Kongou accepts it automatically, but only manages to sob into it. “YANKEETOKU M-M-MAKES ALL THE G-”

“Kongou if Goto sees you crying it'll break his heart,” you say.

Kongou shuts off the waterworks so abruptly you wonder if she shut her seacocks. She stares at you, her mouth hanging open in suprise.

“Seriously, Kongou. Has he ever called you out on the carpet and dessed you down good and fucking proper for all the shit you pull, or does he just bitch and moan every time you kick his door down, knowing damn well it won't stop you from doing the exact same thing tomorrow?”

Kongou emits a tiny, startled hiccup.

“Sure, you're a real pain in his ass-” you rub your hair with a sigh, thinking of Sammy and all the shit SHE'S pulled - “-but that doesn't mean he doesn't like you. I can't betray his confidence, but he speaks pretty highly of you when you're not in the room.”

She makes a squeak so high you're scarce sure you heard it.

“If you went around dead silent trying not to show emotion, he'd think he made a mistake, or did something to hurt you, and that'd just kill him, Kongou. It'd kill him. Trust me. But if you just want to spend more time with him-”

Kongou nods so vigorously her tea sloshes to and fro in the tiny cup.

“-just find something he needs done. You know his secretary?”

She nods.

“Is she pulling for you?”

She nods quickly.

“Have her assign some paperwork for you to do, something just important enough that if Goto knows about it he won't dare let you out of his sight.”

Kongou looks a bit uncertain. “B-but he'd just s-s-cold me and-”

“Tell him you're going to help him no matter what. Then ask him if the PX sells crayons.”

She looks at you blankly. “That works, desu?”

You try not to snigger. “Oh, yeah. That'll work. I swear upon my honor as Yankeetoku.”

Kongou sets her tea down in shaking hands. “I- I have to go. I have to go!” She springs off her boxes and dashes out the door, only to dash back in before anyone can take a breath. “EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” she squeals, leaning over the table and hugging your head against her chest excitedly before dashing out in a blaze of white streamers.

“... what the hell was that?” you marvel.

“Free food,” Harder mumbles, helping himself to a scone.

“Thank you, yan- Admiral Settle,” Haruna says with another smile (she hardly ever seems to stop smiling, in fact.) “We've been trying her to take a... a quieter approach for a while now, but she just starts in with that Burning Love stuff every time.”

“What's up with that?” you ask.

“The Kongou is bongos,” Harder opines as he washes down his scone.

“Kongou...” Haruna brushes her hair back over her shoulder. “You... you all promise not to repeat this?”

“I swear,” you say solemnly. Willie just vibrates a bit behind your back, but Harder returns Haruna's impassive gaze solemnly. You give him a Look, and he rolls his eyes and raises his right hand. “I hereby swear upon my stack of imaginary bibles-” he holds out his flattened hand in midair- “not to repeat a word of what makes Kongou so fucking bongou.”

Haruna deems this acceptable with a cool nod, and continues. “Sister isn't very confident,” Haruna confides. “She's the oldest of all the kanmusu - shipgirls, I'm sorry - and after Arizona-san saved her in that last battle she's been almost in a panic, thinking Admiral Goto will retire her from front-line combat. She... she thinks if she shows him how burning her love is, he'll forgive her lackluster armor belt...”

Well. That sure is something. You file that away for later - honor as a teitoku is one thing, but there is also honor *among* teitokus - you can't wait to see Goto's face when you relay that gem. “Well, hopefully we can break her of that impression.”

Haruna avoids your eyes. “I hope so, yank- Admiral Settle.”

“So, that's why she's upset over Arizona?”

“Oh no, no!” Haruna says, clutching her hands to her breast in alarm. “She loves Arizona-san! She's just, I mean, everyone's off-balance after you and her showed up, it's nothing, it'll pass!”

AHAHA HE GOT IT! Nice.

Kongou kept up full speed after taking multiple torpedo hits from Sealion, desperate to clear the area and avoid any follow-up torpedoes. The high speed forced a lot of water into her and battered down multiple bulkheads.

So much for all you people placing the original quote and feeling superior. HAH!

>>43476475
She got torp'd by Sealion.

>>43476475

Cos the bitch can't get a sentence in without the phrase DESS somewhere, so it'd be FULL SPEED AHEAD, DESS THE TORPEDOS or some fucking shit like that.

How is the Japanese shipsluts being "off balance" at the presence of an American contingent not a problem?

>>43476503

Kinda startling how easily Kongo could have avoided her fate ain't it.

>>43476503
The parallel goes further than that. Farragut ran the Tecumseh right into a sea mine. They took the forts, but it cost them.

A startling amount of Japanese war(!)ships were sunk by American submarines. The number is comparable to, if not exceeding the rest of the navy's kill tallies. In raw tonnage, the submarine service far and away exceeds the surface and air combatants.

>>43476526
>Because literally anyone could guess that in their sleep.

Good show. Now how exactly to you address the root of the problem?

Hint: It's not by making broad assumptions and never bothering to verify them or get details on what the parties involved think.

Addressing this in a thorough manner is probably more important than running around piling up yet more sidequests and gossips.

>>43476539

The joke's really in how keeping full speed ahead (damn the torpedo damage) actually sank her but w/e

Oh wait.

>>43476576
Given that Sealion did come around for another attack, but didn't catch up until it was clear she wasn't going to make it, it seems like this is a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't."

>>43476584
>well yeah, it's pretty fucking hard to see a submarine
That's not quite it. It's more that the Submarines had so much more coverage and opportunity than the surface fleet, on top of the advantage of being ambush predators. They used to say that by the end of the war you could walk from Australia to Tokyo to Midway on the periscopes of American submarines.

>>43476866
No, I'm saying we already know about the immediate problem and can take steps to deal with it, though perhaps not as effectively as otherwise, and that gaining more knowledge could lead to learning of a more pressing problem that we must prioritize. If we'd knew shigure had been in such a bad state earlier, for example, we may have been able to do something less disastrous than what we did. If we don't learn of anything important, well, we've got something else to work on.

>>43476892

Well given that our collective attention span is more limited than that of the damned corgis, it's pretty likely anything we neglect to act on immediately will be forgotten and left in the background until such time as you need more salt and tears for your coffee.

>>43476973
Speaking of, what about the corgis that attacked Shigure? We caught them, so have we determined if they were from the pack that Hate had put in the kennel, or do we now have proof they randomly manifested?

>>43476994
And then Harder walks in and tries to send over DC teams and it somehow ends in awkward hormonal shipsex?

>And that's why none of the choices matter in a planefag quest, because it's all up to the whimsy of a fat, drunk greek.

Our choices do matter, just not in the way that gets you the perfect ending and waifu in exactly the way you want.

>>43476994
I'd still like to get our shit worked out with the person/ship that's supposed to be watching our administrative back, while Arizona watches our literal back. God only knows what kind of paperwork was supposed to be generated that we don't have now that Naka has resigned. That may not seem like a big deal, until we realize we didn't get something really important ordered for our girls because the paperwork wasn't processed.

“Haruna is okay!” she says with another sunny smile.

“And how's everyone else?”

“Well...” She looks down at her tea again, which must be getting cold by now. “Yuudachi is really upset - she found out about Shigure last night and she went right to the brig this morning to try and see her. She hasn't poi'd in almost twelve hours. Kitakami and Ooi seem to have broken up - Nui threatened to beat her up if she was mean to Ooi again. Jintsuu was so upset this morning she didn't even look when Kongou dessed at her. And Kongou desses really loud!

But the Iku situation is better-”

“-there's an Iku situation?”

“-hasn't been seen off-base without permission for almost three weeks and we've checked her usual spots and didn't find anyone chained up so maybe she's getting it under control and...”

“Well?”

“... everyone's scared,” Haruna says quietly. She meets your eyes hesitantly, but holds your gaze. “When we first started, we thought, if only we had more ships... if only we had all our sisters with us, things wouldn't be so desperate...” she looks down at her tea again. “But now we're just trying to cover the whole ocean, and we didn't have enough ships for that job the first time around.”

“That's why we're here,” you remind her.

Haruna bites her lip and squeezes her teacup in her hands - apparently this doesn't comfort her much. “There's... never been a battle like the Bonin Islands, either. The battleships are all excited, and the carriers - you know, decisive battle? But most of the destroyers and cruisers were lost in skirmishes, and it's been nothing but till now, and now the big fights are starting, just like last time, and they're thinking - I think they're thinking this is it, you know?” Haruna sips at her cooling tea for something to do - her perennial smile is faltering fast. “But there's nothing they can do about it, and if you cry you just scare your friends.”

She seems to shrink before you.

“It's... just like last time.”

You absorb that for a long, painful moment.

“Does Goto know?”

She thinks quietly, then nods. “He always knows.”

Sendai's last kick takes you square in the gut, folding you in half and launching you clear into the far wall. Your back hits the mats with a familiar slap and a whoomph that runs through your chest.

"You've stopped trying to avoid my blows, sister," Sendai murmurs quietly, adjusting her gloves.

You laugh--through the taste of copper and your lungs screaming their displeasure, you laugh. "Aha, you saw right through me," you lilt playfully, pulling yourself back upright, ignoring the grind of your bones as they crack back in line. "I just can't dodge Sendai-chan, so I thought I would stop trying."

She shoots you an unusually sharp look--which deflects off the side of your mask and flies right past as you smile. "We are light cruisers, Naka. Those who seek injury in combat will surely find it. Having the heart of a lion does not excuse having a head full of straw."

"Ahahaha," you laugh, punching yourself in the side of the head again. "Guilty as charged, guilty as charged~"

"Why can I not reach you, Naka?" she asks, more to herself than you, eyes cast down to the padded floor. "I don't understand. Your scores on the range are better than mine. You've stopped registering any signs of pain. But you're getting slower. Performing worse." Her gaze snaps back up to you. "Again."

I did not see this coming.

Thanks for the run, Boss! Looking forward to Sea Salt-flavored Naka-time.

>Akagi seems to be calling an American pilot a lot,
No! Why, Planefag? Why did you diminish Parker's harem?

You practically walk into her outstretched arm as she throws a palm forward, stopping me dead in your tracks, for the thousandth time. She swirls around to your left, grabbing your arm and levering it back harshly as she sweeps out your leg. Down you go. Up you get, with pep in your step. "Again!"

She doesn't even wait for you to set up--she barrels in, cracking you across the chin with the blade of her elbow, before you feel her seize you around either shoulder and bring you forward into her knee, slamming it into your aching gut. She powers through, lifting you both and letting go at the apex of her jump, letting your back make friends with the wall again... a moment before she spins and slams her heel into your ribs with a crack that reverberates through you. She pins you to the wall that way for a moment before jerking her foot back, letting you sink to the ground.

...And you come up with a flourish, all smiles, ignoring the warm trickle of what feels like blood down your front.

"What... ARE you...?" Sendai murmurs, her normally placid expression clouding over at your grin.

"It's just me," you reassure her, flourishing grandly. "Naka-chan. I just decided I should... stop trying to fight it, that's all."

That was not the answer Sendai was looking for. She digs two fingers into your solar plexus as she falls on you like a hammer, a new explosion of pain threatening to shatter your mask from the inside. You don't let it, even as she grabs a handful of your uniform and yanks you forward, her skull meeting yours with another sharp crack that leaves you seeing stars. You feel the lurch of movement as she swings you around and hurls you clear of the wall.

Ahhhhhh! So, we really ought to ask for some additional personnel. Surely we can get some senior NCOs and a few experienced officers to back us up. On that note, where the hell is our chief? As a newly promoted RA, we should have a experienced chief to keep us from fucking up too badly...

>>43477381

And no, not "fucked" in that way PERVERT.

1. Talk with Goto about the morale problem, and with information on each specific problem below and potential solutions.
2. We need to talk to Zuikaku to work out her problems so that the Kaga problem doesn't blow up.
3. We can then deal with Yuudachi, and potentially Shigure if she's awake.
4. Sendai, because it's probably related to Naka.
5. Naka
6. Kitakami, Shiranui, and Ooi. Probably with Ooi first, then getting the rest of the situation from Shiranui and Kitakami separately.

Dealing with the awkwardness of Americans being here among IJN ships can be the last thing we tackle after those.

>>43477367
I... well, ok, I didn't think she'd be hiding and crying, but I knew she'd be super sad about Naka

>>43477400
We don't. If we try to fix everything, we will only wind up fixing nothing.
What we need is some psychologists.

>>43477370
Because BatLead earned his way into Akagi's heart.

Mostly by risking his life going above and beyond the call of duty for her, then trusting her and her crew to save his while he was bleeding out.

That builds a serious foundation of trust for a relationship, I think.

>>43477389
The Navy doesn't trust anyone around Ship Girls.

is.... is this why sendai's crying?

I don't blame her.

"You dishonor your crew with this--display, Naka!" she roars, her voice like thunder. Your vision clears just in time to see her palm lash out, snapping your head up with a sharp blow to the chin before an unseen double kidney punch drives you double around her fists.

"Stop LYING to yourself, Naka!" Sendai howls into your ringing ears. "Stop lying to ME! I know it hurts! Show me that it hurts!" You stumble backwards as she throws you off, tumbling back as your feet fail to hold your weight for a few steps before your heel finally catches. You look up at her, your hands shaking.

You grin.

She fills your vision in an eyeblink, a second before twin explosions around your head as she claps your ears, dazzling you. Your brain thrums with the ringing until it fades enough to hear her screams. "--ILING STOP SMILING STOP SMILING STOP SMILING STOP STOP STOP--"

She hammers a few more blows home, driving you across the gym mats, falling away constantly under a rain of fists that she will not let you flee from. You run out of room before the staccato tempo breaks, as she exhausts herself simply ... hurting you. The strikes weaken, the new bursts of pain coming fainter and fainter as the old ones course and grow and throb outwards without fresh competition. Sendai pants raggedly, having worn herself out, her hands feebly clutching at your torn dress.

"Please stop," she whispers, sweat beads rolling down her face.

"I--" Your voice almost falters--your lungs have no air, even trying to draw a breath sending ripples of agony through your whole body. "I thought this was what you wanted."

Silence. For almost thirty seconds, silence, broken only by Sendai panting for breath, as the ache claws its way up your ankles and calves, your whole body trying to fall to the floor like a puppet with broken strings.

"Naka... " Sendai finally pants, defeated, "I can't save you."

Your eyes widen in recognition--your dream. She grew despondent, then angry, then...

You covertly tilt your chin up, providing better access to your throat.

... only to feel something warm and wet splash across your collar. You blink until your eyes focus... looking up as another tear drips down onto your shoulder.

...

"Please stop," she repeats miserably, tears rolling.


>You did save me, Sendai. I know what I have to do now.
> Wow, it only took three days to make you sick of me.

So what are the chances that Parker and Hate will be beside each other in the sickbay in traction after their pelvises are shattered?

>>43477444

And if she realizes it, maybe Naka can salvage herself.
