Aa~ww, it's gonna get boring~~

Why do you have to leave~?

Can't be helped. I'm just Shinonome-san's subordinate to begin with.

True~

Say, I've got just one request,

would you care to listen?

You know that shipgirl "Ooi" that I usually hang around with?

Yeah, she's a close friend of yours, right?

Yep yep, we're super close~

Ah, keep this conversation a secret, okay?

Also, since you're close friends with her, it should be okay for you to get in contact with her yourself, isn't it?

Rather than asking me, there are others even more suitable...

Don't mind the small details~

Compared to someone who rarely gets to see her like me, someone closer to her like you would be even more suitable, isn't it?

I've got a photo of her. Wanna see?

Sure. For the heck of it.

Things that are harder to tell to that person exactly because you're close to the person in question,

such things do exist too, don't they?

It's during her light cruiser days though.

She's cute, isn't she?

She's a totally nice person, I tell you~

She cares about her friends, and she gets her work done too.

...She's cute, sure... but...

...So then,

go try tackling her, won't you?

Asakura-san's a serious person, see, your looks aren't too shabby either, and I think you're kind of into Ooicchi too~

I was wondering where you were going with this...

Don't make fun of me.

I'm not making fun of you.

If...... Say if, you really do like her,

She always asks me to let her have a look

Isn't this done a lot between ship girls and their Admirals?
