Can't sortie...right?

I feel you, Z23.

As instruments of war, we cannot do what we were built for.

The frustration can be quite unbearable.

However,

on the other hand, don't our leisure and idleness prove...

..that the sky is still calm, and the sea is still peaceful?

Conserving strength is also a part of our job.

Nevertheless...

Come find me for games when you feel like it!

Be it tabletop board games or model-making,

I sure know a lot of indoor funs!

Long Island: Really?

Huh?

Oh, Z23 sortied.

She wasn't retrofitted, was she?

That's exactly the reason the Commander wanted her.

A trip of gluttony

Z23 is a strange case. Her skill offers Full Barrage, and she can also equip the weapons of a light cruiser.

Therefore, she can be used for speed runs even without retrofitting.

Another normal drop!

I must get myself a super rare drop, so the Commander can praise me!

On second thought, if we actually got one, wouldn't that rob us of our chances of sortieing?

Although Z23 still has a long way to go before reaching the top of the fleet...

...as long as she doesn't give up, that day will eventually come.

Fight on! Z23! Fight for the top of the fleet!

Fight on, Z23 Chapter End
