Flugzeugträger Graf Zeppelin, construction halted.

The hull will be scuttled.

...in the end, I wasn't needed by anyone.

Unable to be even born.

Sunk to the depths without so much as a fight...

Just maybe... if it's possible to be born again, into another life...

Wait... Admiral.

It would just be a waste of a bucket, right...?

But...

It would be my wish...

...to be born into a life where I was needed by someone...

Hey there... Admiral.

I'll put in the application to use the high-speed repair materials immediately!

Don't worry about me... we're not in a large-scale operation right now.

I'm fine.

Oh, what's this?

It couldn't be that you actually care about me to the point

where you're actually worried?

...as if-

Ah! Hey, don't get up!

That's why you said it!

No... I mean, yes, everyone is important to me, but...

How do I put this...

Just the very thought that you might not be there by my side anymore...

...no... that's...

You just rest up.

Sorry for all the ruckus.

I really blundered there...

You mustn't get lost in thought when you're on the battlefield, after all...

The docks...

They'll be packed with the just-returned 4th fleet, won't they!

There has never been a reported case... of a shipgirl dying while waiting landside for a dock to open up... at this point in time...

Am I wrong...?

...what's got you so worked up? It's not like you at all...

So why am I the one getting special treatment?

...you're quite right. It's not good to play favorites.

Geez, Admiral.

Please don't agitate the patients!

Sorry...

You're the kind of guy who would move heaven and earth for his shipgirls!

You don't mean that I'm the special one at all! I see right through you!

It drove my anxiety off the charts!

So putting it another way, when you are there, I feel at ease... that's just how I've been feeling these days...

Even if so... you could always just use a bucket if there was still a waiting list for the dock, right?
