I hope you haven't been a burden to the Shiratsuyu class.

Hell no I haven't! You know I've been busting my ass out there!

Considering how skilled Shigure and Shiratsuyu are, I can understand why Hatsuharu would worry.

Still, Ariake's been keeping up, and depending on the genre, she's even outperformed them at times.

I thought she'd be more rowdy, but she's been paying attention and working together while we're operating.

Yeah, I get the urge to be rowdy, sure...

But I can't go and hurt Shira's gut like that... She's older than me, besides...

R-Right...

Indeed. Show her compassion.
