My Experiences with a Shipgirl

by Leadway001

I've never seen a shipgirl before nor has interacted with one. I am just a simple foot soldier from a foreign country that was unfortunately blockaded when the abyssals arrived. Well that was four years ago that is, now I am currently staring at the sea with a certain shipgirl in front of me. Tell you what, how about I tell you a story about my experiences with a shipgirl?

2. Blue, blue as the seas

Blue, blue as the seas.

These hideous black creatures arrived out of nowhere. Some were colossally huge and some were small, almost human sized. These monsters had jaws that were large as fuck and they easily tore depleted uranium armor.

Some had large gun barrels sticking out of their jaws and were powerful enough to penetrate modern battleship armor. They were quicker than a jet ski and more agile than an airplane.

They blockaded their country and I was stuck on that country because my retrieval ship was destroyed when it was sailing across the pacific. The blue sky was packed full of these monsters that the locals call Abyssals, the sea is their domain, even on land they we are still no match against them.

So I ask you this—

How do you fight them?

You see, during the time when things went from fine to total shit storm humanity depended on its ability to adapt to the recent changes to make things easier. When that plan backfired, humanity was forced to perform hideous things to undo the things that made the shit storm into a total cluster fuck.

And when they did apply those hideous things, something else came.

Using things like summoning is pretty dangerous since you do not know what kind of creatures you might accidentally summon.

It could be a monster from a different parallel world, or even worse than that.

But during the first test on the Kanto region in Central Japan something….something was summoned.

It was a girl….no, a woman, wearing a large blue coat and a blue navy cap. This woman was not just a mere normal human, oh no, she had these large gun barrels sticking out from her back. No, to be specific these gun barrels were bolted down on a metallic object that was attached on the woman's lower back.

She did not fall down from the weight nor make an awkward standing pose, she was standing perfectly.

After that the woman widened her eyes in realization. The searchlights were surrounding her, tank barrels pointing, machine guns at the ready and soldiers awaiting orders.

And I was there when the first shipgirl arrived on Yokosuka Harbor.

"Panpakapan~! Second ship of the Takao-class heavy cruiser, Atago!" The woman shouted with a smile on her face.

And just like that, out of instinct. I fired my gun at her.
