...it's about to start. Keep quiet.

Practice Battle, start.

However, within the opponents lies Kitakami-san.

I need to watch out...

Opening torpedo salvo!? When did she...!?

I can't avoid them all...

But I can take one practice torpedo at least...!

S-So... the Admiral said that we could kinda just fight however and we'd still win for sure...

So, what should we do?

Hey, Asashio-san?

It's that Admiral, after all. I'm sure there've been some greased palms here, yeah?

They're really all just half-assing it, aren't they...

Yeah...

I'm an idiot...! The Admiral's words caused me to lower my guard!
