I can say this honestly, ever since that girl became a human, she's been able to live a normal life.

Pl-Please stop!

Mogami-san!

I haven't done anything that warrants this praise...

I really did nothing special...

As for now, we are a family. Spending our days with that girl, that girl's existence; there is nothing better in this world.

But, the days with that girl keep piling up.

That was all there is...

This and that and everything - You, as the Admiral, guiding those girls...

for protecting this world...

All I ever did was see them off as they went to the front and wait.

Greet them when they exhaustedly return with their injuries.

And then send them off to the front again...
