Holding up her end of everything, Shiho told everyone that she was holding a celebration for the Anglerfish girls and their schoolmates. The celebration was to be held at the school, as the grounds were large enough to accommodate all of the students and staff. She ordered five star catering for everyone to enjoy. All of the ladies would also get to show how well refined their manners and etiquette had become.

Anglerfish were the guests of honor, who were seated at the head table with Shiho, Maho and Captain Chono. Festivities began and everyone took their places at their assigned seats. As part of their tankery classes included place setting and proper dinner etiquette, everyone dined displaying manners and charm expected of high society.

Shiho felt the need to address the situation again. "Ladies, I've acted a fool. I almost did something terrible. I almost pushed my daughter away because of who she is."

"You've made amends, mom. We'll be okay now." Miho said.

"It's not that simple. Just because you and Miss Akiyama want to be together, I almost..." Shiho continued, closing her eyes as her voice started breaking slightly. "Well, you know. I can't apologize enough for this."

"Really, you've apologized to both of us personally. We both accepted. You're fine." Yukari said.

"I can't just say I'm sorry and think everything is okay. Not after how I treated the two of you, or gays as a whole. The only thing really different from you two and heterosexual couples is that you're both girls. Other than that, there's no difference."

"I've gotta say, I'm loving this side of you." Captain Chono said with a smile.

"I actually have something more to offer the two of you in apology. After you've finished school, I would like to invite the two of you to stay at the family estate together."

Everyone stopped on a dime as Shiho inviting anyone to the family estate, even for just a visit, was very rare. But to be invited to live there never happened. "But... Mom... You've never invited anyone to live there." Miho said in shock.

"One of the cornerstones of being a proper lady is humility. You must know when you've done wrong, and you must do everything you can to make things right. Simply apologizing isn't enough, at least not to me."

"Don't forget the other thing,v Miss Nishizumi." The Captain added.

"Of course. When you two decide to tie the knot, you can have the wedding at the estate. I'll cover everything."

Miho took Yukari's hand and they both smiled. "We look forward to that, mom." Miho said.

...

Captain Chono paid Shiho another visit at her office. She wanted to make sure Shiho wouldn't soon change her mind, as her previous position was fairly solid. She went to the office and sat across from Shiho. "It's really nice to see how far you've come. You used to be so against homosexuality, and now you seem okay with it."

"Seeing... What you asked me to see helped change my stance. I was heavily opposed to it, but I really don't want to see either of my daughters in that position." Shiho replied.

"I don't suppose the kiss had anything to do with it?"

"No, not really. I knew you only really wanted to try and help Miho. Besides, I think it would've served me right to have everyone see that footage."

The Captain placed a DVD on Shiho's desk. "This is the only remaining copy of the footage. You can do with it what you want."

Shiho looked at the disc for a moment, but didn't take it. "I don't know what to do. If I take it, it just seems like I haven't learned anything."

"Will you stop beating yourself up over this? You apologized, publicly. Not only to your daughter, but to her girlfriend. You offered for them to live at your family's estate. You've even said they can get married, and you'll pay for it. You've made great strides. Don't keep putting yourself down."

"I just keep thinking back to those two girls at the police station. It feels to me like the more I do to make it up to Miho and Yukari, the further away from that situation they'll be."

The Captain stood up and walked over to the window to look out over the city. "I guess I can look at it that way. But if you want to destroy that disc, it's all yours."

Shiho picked up the disc and walked over to join the Captain. "I don't need to. I would like you to hold onto this."

"I don't need to. But if you're making the request, I can keep it." The Captain said, taking the disc and putting it in her pocket. "If you'd really like everyone to know you've changed, I've got an idea."

"Whatever it is, I'll do it."

"Go out on a few dates with me."

Shiho stopped cold with the captain's suggestion. "Um, go out with you?"

"It'll be more of a show of compassion and solidarity. The public sees us together, and they'll know you've genuinely changed."

"Some people will probably think I'm faking it. But... If you think it'll help, I'll go out with you."

Captain Chono smiled at her response. "Good! But hey, if they think you're faking, there's always one thing you can do."

"What's th-"

The Captain interrupted Shiho by kissing her again. "If people see us do that, they'll get the idea that you're interested."

Shiho was still blushing from the surprise kiss. "Eh, I guess it'll help. Okay, we can go out then."

"Good to hear. I'll call you and we can set something up." Captain Chono said, giving Shiho a light smack on the butt before leaving.

"Went from hating gays to going on a date with another woman." Shiho thought to herself.
