Hah?

That's right...

I don't have a single thing that could turn this situation around...

If we rely on the wrong person, if we make a mistake, then everything we know will be over...

In order to secure victory over the vice-admiral, I can be the ace up your sleeve and...

Katori is different from Kashima - she can actually run the numbers.

If she's willing to double-cross someone with as much authority as the vice-admiral, then she's likely got something suitable ready to go.

So when she said she was my "ace up my sleeve", then she should have a strong weapon that can counter him!

A girl that's usually on the S side tied up like that... that's pretty lewd too...

All the issues that the vice-admiral pointed out about this base are absolutely true - they're irrefutable!!

So while it might be underhanded, I've got no choice but to grab ahold of the vice-admiral's weakness and use it to make a deal!!

So to that end...

No matter what it costs, I have to win Katori's heart...!
