In that case...

It can't be helped. I'll permit you that.

But it's embarrassing, so I'm only doing it once?

I'll do it! Please allow me to do it!

If you don't listen to my request, I'll spread rumors around the naval base that are part truth and part lies. But you wouldn't mind that? Would you?

Are you acting rebellious~? Do you have some sort of grudge against me?

...Commander

Even if you tell me to suddenly make a serious expression, it's difficult. Also... it's kind of embarrassing.

The admiral always folds when she's pressured. Good luck.

No matter what the admiral may be like, I...

I want to see...

Okay~... Then, please pretend that this is the command room and make a super serious expression!

Unless there's some special reason, the rules say that except for Ooyodo-san, ship girls are not allowed to enter, so... you can't.

Ah, I know! Next time, can I come to the command room to gather information?

I'm just trying to act like I always do...

Dignified?

I don't think so? Though there's no mirror in there, so I can't say for sure.

Sorry, I misspoke. I heard it from a friend who's a comm officer. I heard that you always have a dignified expression on your face, but is this true?

U, uh, it's because when I'm in the command room, I'm in the middle of strategizing...

I know this sudden, but Commander? It seems like when you're in the strategic command room, you always have a serious look on your face.

Umm...

Are you mocking Aoba?
