A few days later - Salmon Sea Area

My debut battle in Japan! I'll give it my all!

Let's make plenty of bloodshed!

It's my first time on the front lines, but I'm relieved that I have companions here.

Tis' the battlefield, y'know?

Don't be lettin' yer guard down now.

As expected of you! You have Haruna's respect!

Y-yes!!

I-I really don't think that has anything to do with this...!!

We're the 2nd fleet in our test formation, so some score would surely be nice!

I heard that if we pull this off, we'll be operating independently of the 1st fleet from then.

Tis might be a pursuit operation ta reinforce our capabilities, but we ain't gettin' any real-time instructions from the Admiral.
