AZUR LANE: Reincarnated as JS Izumo.(Translate)

MONOLOGUE [12]

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Meanwhile, at the anchor base, an Eagle Union ship docks. This ship is the USS Vestal. After the ship anchors, the woman in command of this ship disembarks from the ship via a boarding bridge. In the port, Hornet and Hamman are the only ones who receive her.

Hornet: (Happy) Vestal!

Hornet runs and hugs Vestal, Hornet is very happy to see Vestal, on the other hand, Hamman is somewhat worried.

Hornet: Finally you're here, I missed you so much.

Vestal: (smiling) I apologize for the delay, but the repairs of the ships at another base took longer than I expected.

Hamman: (Worried) How is Yorktown?

Vestal, not knowing how to respond, stutters a bit, but Hornet understands how Yorktown's health is, so she is the one who responds.

Hornet: I guess as always...

Hamman: (Depressed) I see.

Hornet walks backwards and lifts Hamman's skirt so that Hamman can regain her true tsundere girl personality.

Hornet: There it goes!

Hamman regains her personality and she blushes and yells at Hornet very annoyed.

Hamman: AAHHHHHH! What are you doing?!

Hamman runs and hides behind Vestal.

Hornet: She is my older sister, don't worry.

In response to Hornet's words, Hamman pouts.

Vestal: Changing the subject, what about Enterprise?

Hornet: There, for sure she is doing very well.

Vestal: I need to see the Enterprise ship, could you tell me where it is?

Hornet: Port 4 is on the left where the Wales battleship is anchored.

Vestal: I see it now, well I will go to Enterprise right away.

Hornet: Ok. 

Then Vestal goes to see the Enterprise ship with Hamman and Hornet. When they arrived, Vestal was able to see that the Enterprise aircraft carrier was in good condition and without any scratches on the paint.

Vestal: (About to touch nirvana) It's the first time I see the Enterprise ship in such a state, it's a miracle brought by the Lord.

Hornet: Vestal? Why does your skin turn white?

Hamman: Ahhhh! She started to disintegrate!

The girls panicked and tried to prevent Vestal from leaving this world, in the end they succeeded.

Enterprise: Well, I haven't had the chance to engage in combat all these days.

FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW

I am near the beach as I look around, surely the girls were very excited to be able to enjoy a day off to relieve stress from this war. I would like to practice my sword skills underwater, but I can't. The main reason is that the beach is full of kansen who are enjoying their day off, and two... I wouldn't like to wear a bikini or a feminine swimsuit, that goes against my manhood.

I look and feel my abdomen, during these days I have overlooked it due to the fatigue of this war, but since I had a lot of time today, I was able to take a calm bath to analyze my body and discovered that I have scars all over my body and a very large one on my abdomen. The shape is almost identical to the scar that Senator Steven Armstrong has, the only difference is that the location is not on my chest, the scar is on the left side of my abdomen.

Belfast: Worried about something?

Me: I'm just focused on my internal monologue.

Belfast: What worries you? Aren't you going to have fun with them?

Me: My hobby is something very unconventional, I would like to practice with my sword underwater, but it seems that it will be impossible for me.

Belfast: You could use a wooden sword and train somewhere away from the beach.

Me: Are you saying that with Sandy randomly swimming in the bay? What would happen if I accidentally hit her if I didn't notice Sandy's presence? Also, training outside the bay sounds very dangerous.

Belfast: You may be right.

I am watching the beach volleyball match.

Me: It seems like the Baltimore team gave a beating to the Lexington team.

Belfast: Baltimore has always had an enviable physique.

Belfast: But you could simply join in playing in the sea with the girls.

Me: I know, I don't mind showing my body at the beach, but I'm worried that the girls might feel uncomfortable with my physique.

Belfast: What do you mean? You have a very nice body, you should show it off.

Me: You haven't understood me, maybe it's not noticeable with my clothes, but...

In that moment, I lifted my blouse, showing my large scar on my abdomen.

Belfast: (Worried) Where did you get that?

Me: Incompetence and underestimating the enemy, it was supposed to be an easy fight. My fleet was facing a fleet of destroyers and cruisers. My fleet consisted of cruisers, battleships, and aircraft carriers. We had the superiority in every aspect. I was the only one who survived, but I almost bit the dust. I managed to exterminate the enemy before they killed me, then I don't remember anything since I was unconscious... according to my allies... I was adrift for several days until they rescued me, and I was like that for several weeks.

Belfast: (Sad) I'm sorry to hear that.

Me: Don't worry, I've already moved on... after a while, you get used to seeing your comrades die.

Belfast: How many people did you see die?

Me: Enough to not want to count them. The only thing that keeps me going is living for those who were left behind, living a worthy life, after all, I have a pride that I must maintain.

Belfast: I understand now... you are truly strong.

Me: Strong me?

Belfast: For seeing so many people die and still remaining sane, in the past there were several kansens who witnessed the death of their friends and went mad. Many of them were locked up in asylums, some were able to recover, and others couldn't. Some who went insane during a mission escaped to other places, and when they returned, they came back even crazier than before and mercilessly attacked humanity.

Me: Wow, they became psychopaths.

Belfast: That word falls, short they were worse than psychopaths as they did much more macabre things. Those ship girls were designated as META, they were like a kind of Berserker guided by endless madness to kill and assassinate their victims in the worst possible way. They are also powerful. A few years ago, New Jersey, North Carolina, Enterprise, Allen, Cleveland, Denver, and Perseus were almost eliminated by Hunter META. She single-handedly tore through the Azur Lane fleet. If it weren't for Hunter stumbling, they would be dead by now.

Me: (Are the META kansen really that powerful? I should be careful if I encounter them)
