Even if it's just brushing yourself up on shipgirl info and battle tactics...

Your personal life, frankly, is a mess.

How you show thoughtfulness is clumsy and lacks direction.

Just going throw me away in the end too?

As an "Admiral"...

So let's not talk of resignation... I want you to continue on.

You - the base that you made - I'm sure it will become crucial.

For all the shipgirls that will be posted here in the future...

would be nothing less than a complete betrayal of the trust the shipgirls in this base have in you.

For you to abandon your post...

That means you... and I think everyone else pretty much knows that too, right?

I was found out!?

Certainly, you are a coward that's unable to face a shipgirl head-on.

It's all my fault.

...are you...

That's...

And yet, not realising I am also needed...

Saying that "I need you"...

SELF-LOATHING

As a result, he saved the Naval Base from a crisis - but also had piping-hot oden shoved into his face.

With this advice from Graf, the Admiral gradually involved himself in shipgirl operations from the shadows.

You really do have some impetus to involve yourself in the running of the base, don't you?

Why don't you give supporting the shipgirls from behind the scenes a go to start with?

If you're still lacking in courage, and can't bring yourself to command directly...

But all we ask for is an officer that takes care of us, that treats us well.

You have a perverted streak of sneaking a peek at any shipgirl with large breasts...

Are you, having raised my hopes so high...

Nagato, Ooyodo, Sazanami... Do you think that they want that kind of ending? That anyone here does?

Who even asked for you to resign?

But that's a story for another day...

Supporting... from behind the scenes, huh?

I was being thoughtless.

I'm thinking of you girls here!

Zeppelin...

I'm sorry, really I am...

Yeah, I promise.

You won't go anywhere?
