Main Office,

Right now, Hood has just received the news of the Dragon Empery shipgirls being lost en route to the base.

"You mean that they're stuck in the middle of nowhere?!" Hood yelled, surprised by the news Belfast has shared,

"Yes, milady. In addition, according to the weather report, there should be a storm hitting them as well." Belfast added. Hood then slumps onto her desk, sighing.

"Then we have no choice. Belfast, prepare a fleet for a Search and Rescue. I'm worry that they can't survive the storm."

"Right away." And thus, Belfast left the room in a hurry. Hood clenches her head in worry for their ally's safety.

"I just hope that it's just a storm and not an ambush."

Back to the Arcade,

After another round of playing games, (Y/n), Javelin, and Unicorn are taking a stroll across the shores. Along the way, Javelin is telling a story about a certain incident.

"But then, San Diego tries to swim to the ocean, but suddenly a giant shark appears and she panicked!" Javelin then made a shark biting motion with her hands, earning a laugh from (Y/n).

"Really?! I thought shipgirls are more braver than that!" (Y/n) laughs uncontrollably.

"To be fair, it was unexpected too. Other girls are swimming just fine, but only San Diego that got the attack."

"Well, I hope that she has a shark radar with her the next time she tries to swim." (Y/n) joked, making Javelin chuckled. Later on, Unicorn have to part ways due to her wanting to see her sister, which the other two oblige, leaving with only (Y/n) and Javelin at the beach. At that time, it's almost sunset, so they decided to walk back to the dormitory.

"Thanks for the tour, Javelin. I really enjoyed learning more about this island."

"It's no problem. You'll be staying with us until our higher ups found your home, so in any way, I'm just doing a favor."

On the way, the two passes through a certain white-haired shipgirl, which prompts the boy to notice her.

"Wait, isn't that..." He mumbled, then proceeds to turn around and goes to her. "Excuse me, miss. Are you miss Enterprise?"

The shipgirl turned around and sees the boy. "It's you." She said in a monotone voice.

"Yeah... thanks for saving me back then." He said, which she nods.

"You're welcome." And thus, she continues her walk, leaving him.

"Don't be too mindful about her. She's just... too focused on something." Javelin chimed in,

"I see..." Despite wanting to learn more about her, (Y/n) then continues heading back to the dorm with Javelin.
