Alright. So, Katori-san's got this somewhat crazy idea to have me keep a journal, or as it is, a diary. So, I am. I know you're probably going to read this at one point or another, Akigumo, so I'm sorry to say that I will not be professing my secret deep love for you or anyone else in this book.

Alright, now we've gotten that out of the way, I can finally get starte-

The words are rather jumbled there.

So basically, Akigumo is already kicking into action. I made the mistake of writing in ink, and she shook my hand a bunch, giving you, or me, I don't know, that lovely jumble there.

I am writing in pencil now.

Of course, this wouldn't be a journal without me chronicling things. Bear with me, as I don't really know how to relay the events. Should I write a narrative? Do time stamps? Whatever. In any case, I had an interesting run in with Akashi today, since I'm being prepared for my Kai upgrade. I was messing around with something on the wall, a lever, which in hindsight considering where I was was an absolutely terrible place to do such things. Nothing really bad happened, but I did incur the wrath of Akashi for doing it, and I had a near miss with a can of Neon Blue paint flying in my direction. When I looked over, Akashi was on the other side of the workshop as if nothing happened. I even went so far as to ask her about it, and I got the most vague answer imaginable.

"Hm? I don't see why anyone'd be throwing things if you were behaving yourself."

I felt it was the safe thing to end it there, as I didn't want my sole equipment to be two zuiun catapult launchers.

On another note, Admiral Kobayashi, AKA our fleet admiral, is planning some kind of big offensive, and he told all his subordinate admirals to try to upgrade all possible ships to make for maximum efficiency. I think even the German submarine we have, 511 is going to get a Kai 2 upgrade.

Admiral Miwa, my direct commanding officer is in the hospital as a result of Kongou trying to further herself with her. I asked Hyuuga, in hindsight a terrible move, what had happened, and I got an even more vague answer than Akashi's.

"Kongou is not good at making chocolate."

I said there had to be more to it, but she said I was too young to understand, which tells me quite a bit, to be frank. If they say I'm too young, it's obviously something that would "Be over my head."

Let's just say I'm surprised the Commander hasn't gotten a restraining order.
