Are you mocking Aoba?

Umm...

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.

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

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?

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

Dignified?

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

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

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.

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

I want to see...

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

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

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

...Commander

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

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?

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

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

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

In that case...
