We can't change much with our current comp...

I've got the lowest experience in the fleet... right?

Even then, we managed to break through at Shortland.

Cause Furutaka did her best to cover me.

Kako...!

Let her go!

And I'm getting way too sleepy...

So that's that.

Damn, so pathetic...

If... if only I fought harder...

No...!

If I had just gotten Kako more experience...!

H-Huh? It's sorta become a big deal...

Personally... I could never bear to withdraw from the frontlines.

Blaming it on sleepiness...

I know how she feels...

I'll allow Kako to pull back... no further consideration!

Nachi... We're counting on you!

Stepping back to secure victory for the fleet...

That itself is her fight!

Even now... Kako is fighting her own way!

Our seventh sortie!

Let's go!

Yeahhhh!!

Er... I didn't mean anything that serious... but...
