The office is still a mess as always, it's 07:02 and those except Sendai and Kongou took off from the base. Speaking of office, both Louis and Kongou are face to face by discussing something.

"Listen, Teitoku! I said I was sorry!" Kongou exclaimed, thinking that she'll end up getting scrapped.

"No, it's not that. There's something I wanted to tell you." Louis sighs as she leans back on her chair and shows off her leggings covered legs by relaxing on a damaged table. "I want to know about you, Kongou-san. When was the last time you've been in the United Kingdom?"

"Well, I was born there and was named after a Japanese mountain, a year has passed, so… I forgot. But I am proud of my English heritage!" As proud as she is, Kongou has no shame in showing off her attempts to speak English.

"Heh, as I thought. You see, I remember my holiday to a country where my mother used to live as a visit to my grandparents."

Kongou stopped as she heard what the Admiral meant after relating their past in a different setting with a similar country.

"Mother… A country? Wait, don't tell me! You're English!?"

Finally, Louis takes off her hat and pulls up her glasses as she then introduces herself to a shipgirl. "My real name is Louis Amano, and if I say it in Japanese, then Amano Louis. I'm actually half British, half Japanese due to my parents being a different breed of natives. I also had a little brother."

"Wow, that means we can have tea together just like a couple of Brits! I'll introduce you to my sisters, if they're still around." Kongou's smile didn't last as she's still thinking about her missing sisters.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Sorry… But… Do you speak English, Teitoku?" Asked Kongou.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?" Louis tilted her head after the ship girl's question.

Kongou then blushed, slowly falling for her Admiral who was still interested in Kongou's background.

"It's because- Gh!?" Instantly holding her heart as Kongou never felt this much pain before.

"Huh? Kongou-san?"

Kongou then kneels down and pushes her head down on the floor, grunting in pain.

Just as Louis thought; Kongou must've been sick which could be lucky for her not going out on missions. But unfortunately it isn't.

Yelling as Kongou painfully called out: "Black… TEA! PLEASE!"

"Kongou-san!" Shouted Louis as she proceeded to hug and comfort Kongou who was screaming and was in desperate need for black tea.

Then everything went quiet; no sound was made, the wind breezed through a broken window and the Admiral breathed quietly, knowing that Kongou had calmed down.

"I forgot to answer your question, Teitoku…" Kongou whispered in a very quiet and deeper tone, making her sound like a different person.

"Huh? Kongou?" Louis is letting go of Kongou until a clenched fist pulls up her collar. "GAH!"

"IT'S BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK MORE ENGLISH!" Shouted a different face of Kongou.

"What the!? Kongou-san!? Is that really you!?"

"Yeah, of course it's me, four eyes!" The crazy Kongou answered by tossing Louis aside.

"But how!? Long tongue, weird eyes and your tone as well as your body language are very different! How are you still here!?"

"Duh! Has nobody ever told you what will happen to me!? This is what happens when I don't have my black tea! Everyone, including my sisters and other Teitoku, used to call me the 'Black Tea Demon' before you started working here! It happened to me many years ago and it finally started again! No wonder you're a shitty Admiral!" Demon Kongou pointed out the side effect as her personality had drastically changed, from a cheerful genki girl to a genocidal maniac who hunts abyssals and was desperate for black tea.

"Black Tea Demon!?"

Now Louis is having a hard time trying to scrap Kongou or else she'll be hunted down by Kongou's demon. All she needs is black tea to calm this shipgirl down and turn her mindset back to what it was used to be before.

A door was opened by a certain pink haired girl as she witnessed Kongou standing in front of Louis who was cornering herself.

"Eh? Kongou-chan?" Harusame looked surprised to see Kongou looking different than her usual self.

"Ey! What's up, Haru-chan! Could you do me a favour and give me some black tea, I'm losing my mind right now." Demon Kongou points at her own forehead with a serious face while having that long tongue out.

"We can wait. Right now, Yuudachi nee-san's off to catch up with others." Said Harusame.

"Hm? And why is that?"

"The abyssal fleet, they've strengthened up their fleet and were planning an ambush! That's why I'm here to see Teitoku." Harusame turned towards Louis and approached her without any item.

"Eh? Me?" Pointing at herself as Louis has become confused.

"Please, if you're not a bad Teitoku, then please help us rebuild this base. Our friends and sisters, we kept on driving every other Teitoku away from this base and my sister had started to develop some irrational hate towards Teitoku more often, so please I beg you! Help us!" Harusame, while begging Louis for help, cried that everything she loved was lost, then she received a pat on the head by the Admiral herself.

Louis didn't get it, she never wanted to pity any shipgirls, but was defeated by kindness. Knowing their history as boats are what's hurting them, Louis had no other choice, while still keeping her scrapping plan for the future.

"Alright. Then if that's the case then Kongou-san…"

"I know." Demon Kongou is standing by the broken window as well as watching the daylight mission, caught a glimpse of Yuudachi saving her friends. "When I get back, you shitfaced Teitoku, make sure that my black tea is hot and ready."

"Sure. And make sure that everyone's alive. I may not send you out on a mission, but good luck, Kongou-san."

"Fufufu, AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'll be back!" As Demon Kongou said, she smashed the window by equipping her ship parts and leaped from the wall by hopping on the trees and diving into the ocean and dashing all to the very same direction where Inazuma's group is going.

"Great, there goes my window." Sighed Louis.

Earlier at 07:00, after 6 shipgirls were deployed, a couple of the very same abyssal submarines from yesterday had their heads out of the ocean after they received some bumps on their heads and faces.

"They're gone… Finally! Now's our only chance to invade this base and kill their Teitoku!" Ka-class hissed, as she and her sister, So-class, were swimming towards the docking area. "Yesterday may be a bit of a terrible surprise attack but today, we'll finally kill Teitoku in the morning!"

"I knew you'd never give up, onee-chan!" So-class admired her big sister, watching her making plans as well as assisting for action is always the best moment for her.

"Of course I won't. Now let's prove that bitch Wo that we can play smarter than her!"

As the duo climbed onto the surface, a certain blonde shipgirl slid on the ocean and stopped after catching them before Ka-class pulled So-class up to the surface.

"Oil! Don't move, poi!" Yuudachi pointed her [12.7cm twin gun mount model C Kai 2] cannon at a couple of abyssals who're trying to invade this base.

As Ka-class appears in her swimsuit, So-class barely wears anything.

"Heh. A kanmusu, don't try to stop us, mongrel." Ka-class clicked her tongue while taunting a destroyer.

"Yeah! Onee-chan and I are busy with our own job!" Said So-class.

"What, poi?"

"Killing your new leader, 'poi.' And once we do, then we'll start by liberating the ocean!" Ka-class answered while mocking Yuudachi and pulling out a torpedo.

"And don't forget ruling over mankind!" Laughed So-class.

The submarine duo quickly splitted up; Ko- class dived back into the sea while So-class zoomed up the stairs before Yuudachi hit them.

"Damn it, poi!" Yuudachi grunts as she follows Ka-class by turning around and boosting after the enemy.

"Fufufu… What an idiot. Don't worry, onee-chan, I'll make you proud and we will get promoted!" So-class giggled and stopped by the door once the footsteps were gone.

It's quiet. So-class had a chance to open the door, making her way in. But unfortunately after opening the door…

She encounters Sendai who was singing in her underwear.

"Night ba- Huh?"

"Eh!?"

Then the atmosphere became silent. Only the sound of the waves and birds tweeting.

Sendai's eyes widened while equipping her cannon.

"ABYSSAL!"

"KYAAAAAAAAA! ONEE-CHAN, HELP ME!" Screaming as So-class was able to run away from a half naked shipgirl with cannons, then dive down by equipping herself into an abyssal submarine.

Before landing on water, a wild Kongou appeared by stepping on the tail end of the sub as So-class screamed while spinning with a lot of backflips. Demon Kongou laughed hysterically and then clenched and threw a fist at the abyssal's stomach by sending her away from the base like a certain anime character does to villains.

"ONEE-CHAAAAAAAA-..."

"Ever heard of one punch? Yeah, me neither. And that's what you get for going near a shipgirl who had no tea for days!" Shouted Demon Kongou after shaking her right fist and then turned to Sendai. "Oi, Sendai-chan, if you want to know: I have to follow that blonde mutt who was about to save your sisters."

"Really? What happened out there?" Sendai is now concerned about her sisters that Kongou is about to say.

Since Sendai had no reaction, she already knew about Kongou and her addiction to black tea which is like a drug to her, same goes for her friends that knew about it.

"Those abyssal fucks are planning an ambush on our friends, so I have to catch up to the blonde mutt, Yuudachi-chan, and others before they get themselves killed." Said Demon Kongou while preparing herself by boosting away from the docks.

Sendai remained silent after hearing about her sisters being in danger, then wishing Kongou luck in order to save her sisters.

Sea in Front of the Naval Base

At 07:05, Inazuma, Mutsuki, Kitakami, Ooi, Jintsuu and Naka are moving straight ahead with Inazuma being the flagship this time.

It's eerily quiet and deserted as no abyssals have shown themselves up yet.

"That's strange… I could've sworn that there's some abyssal fleet around here somewhere." Mutsuki said while sightseeing to check if the enemy's around.

"Maybe they gave up after being defeated by the destroyers. Bunch of cowards if you ask me." Ooi concluded.

"But something ain't right…" Jintsuu is getting suspicious about this scenario they're put in.

"How come?" Asked Kitakami.

"Because it feels like we're being followed." Jintsuu worries that she and her friends are being lured into some sort of trap.

It gets to the point that Inazuma pulls out her [12.7cm twin gun mount model A] cannon and searches for a target. Still no target.

"Tch. We've not found an enemy. Let's keep searching until our fuels are low." Inazuma waves her arm and points around to split and search for the enemy.

"Roger!" 5 shipgirls replied as they split up, they won't go as far away from each other as they can.

"Heh, ain't you brats unlucky! You've fallen right into my trap!" The same Ka-class submarine from yesterday had caught all the attention and clicked her fingers by leading an ambush on all 6 shipgirls.

But what stopped her from attacking were some explosives that had caught and blew up the majority of the I-class, Ro-class and Ha-class destroyers, leaving the Ho-class light cruisers unharmed.

"Eh!? What the hell?" Ka-class froze as well as witnessing a silhouette from behind.

"POI!" A voice shouted from a distance.

"Wait, that voice! Yuudachi!" Shouted Mutsuki with excitement.

"You mongrel! How did you know!?" An enraged Ka-class shouted.

"You forgot that I hang out with my sisters all the time, poi! Guess who outsmarted a cheater?"

"Damn kanmusus! Ho-class light cruisers, sink them all!" Ka-class points at all the shipgirls as all 3 of the Ho-class light cruisers roared and pointed their cannons at the surrounded group.

"... -AAAA!"

"Eh!?" Stopped as Ka-class witnessed as a screaming So-class rocketed towards her sister and then crashed while splashing onto each other. "What the… Nee-san?"

As a horde of shells are diving towards a couple of submarine sisters, Ka-class instantly dodges while saving her sister and avoiding a lot of shells after being hit in the head yesterday.

"HAH! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!? YOU KANMUSUS ARE PREDICTABLE!" Cackled as Ka-class forgot that something's incoming.

"BURNING LOVE!" Screamed a loud voice who said it in English, she dive kicked a couple of submarines with the same force as a punch.

"KANMUSUUUUUUUUUUU-..." Ka-class' scream along with So-class' has gotten to the distance where no one can hear them scream.

But Kongou isn't done with the submarine duo as she leaves the rest to the group on the mission.

"Hey, earless mutt, let them finish this. We can handle those abyssal submarines!" Demon Kongou hissed as she's just getting started, resisting the urge to massacre the fleet.

"Poi." Yuudachi understands.

At least she stopped an ambush, Yuudachi then pulled out her thumb to her friends and smiled at them.

"Hawawawa! Kongou-san! This is bad!" Inazuma can obviously tell by that facial expression as well as that behaviour that Kongou gained.

"Yeah. I know I haven't had my black tea for days but listen here, small fry, could you sink those guys right now. Blonde mutt and I are taking care of those dirty cheating bitches!" Kongou and her old friend, Yuudachi are moving towards a couple of submarines that Kongou just kicked away from the battlefield.

Afterwards, 3 of the Ho-class roared as they're enraged by those who foiled their plans as most of the Ha-class and Ro-class destroyers were heavily damaged, leaving the rest as well as every I-class sunk.

"Um… Everyone! Let's finish this!" Inazuma shakes her head as they finally have the advantage to take down stronger enemies.

"Roger!" All 5 shipgirls are now doing an all out attack.

Now it's the shipgirls' turn to counter.

Starting with Kitakami and Ooi.

"Ooi-cchi! Leapfrog torpedo!" Kitakami shouted, then bent over while firing out [61cm quadruple torpedo mount] , letting Ooi leap on her back by shooting out the similar torpedoes.

All these torpedoes are lining up as they're too quick to be shot down.

Most of the Ha-class and the rest of the Ro-class are destroyed and blown up by torpedoes, causing 1 Ho-class to be heavily damaged by a few torpedoes.

"Hrgh! RAAAAA!" A damaged Ho-class roared while firing her cannon towards Ooi.

An explosion occurred which was red, but was blocked by a shipgirl who was now damaged.

"Don't hurt my friends…" Panting as Jintsuu dropped to her knees after protecting both Kitakami and Ooi.

"Now it's our turn, featuring the fleet's idol, Naka-chan!" Naka jumped in front of Jintsuu and the other 2 while pointing her [14cm single gun mount] at those heavily damaged abyssals. "Abyssal goes BOOM!"

Naka blows up a couple of Ha-class destroyers.

"Abyssal goes BANG!"

Then blows up the rest of the Ha-class and a damaged Ho-class' head off.

"What happens to all the abyssals!?" Naka asked by instantly leaping onto a Ho-class who missed a shot and stared at the enemy with those soulless eyes. "Well, they die of course! SINKING BACK INTO THE ABYSS!"

As Naka gave out an answer, she shoved a cannon right into a Ho-class' gaping mouth hole and then fired inside her body.

The abyssal then blew up into a large explosion followed by raining blood.

"And thank you for my performance, ladies and gentlemen, ehe!" Naka said as she then saluted while sticking out her tongue.

As Naka then reached towards the three who already saw the whole thing, Ooi slowly backed herself away and looked at Naka in a way that she feared a little.

"I am never going near you ever again, even if we're in the same formation!"

"You could say the same after you hunted down other Teitoku who're hanging out with Kitakami-chan!" Naka retorted.

"By the way, where's Inazuma-san and Mutsuki-san?" Kitakami asked while picking up Jintsuu by the arms and shoulder carrying her.

"They're over there, chasing the last enemy." Jintsuu answered by pointing at a distance.

The last Ho-class swims as fast as she could before getting herself surrounded by a couple of shipgirls who're beating up a couple of submarines.

"You're not going anywhere, nanoDEATH!" Inazuma booted an abyssal by sending her to Mutsuki, leading Mutsuki to drop kick a light cruiser abyssal down on the water.

Before Ho-class picks herself up, she then sees Inazuma pointing her cannon and Mutsuki pointing it sideways.

At the same time but with Inazuma's 'nanodesu,' both Mutsuki and Inazuma together said: "Jackpot."

Finally firing both cannons at the last abyssal, this abyssal had then blown up and sank down to the bottom of the ocean.

That means they won.

[World 1-1: Sea in Front of the Naval Base

VICTORY!]

"Inazuma-chan! We did it! We won!" Mutsuki cheered and hugged Inazuma.

"Yeah! I knew we could do it, nanodesu!" Inazuma's confidence had increased after they won their first mission with their new Admiral.

"Hey guys!" Shouted Naka as 4 more are waving to both Inazuma and Mutsuki, leading them all to regroup.

While 6 shipgirls are cheering, both Yuudachi and Demon Kongou are watching the celebration as they too have won.

"Looks like they did it, poi." Yuudachi sighed with exhaustion.

"Heh. They sure did, earless pooch." Demon Kongou chuckled while standing like her normal self. "Let's go back home. I bet that four eyed Teitoku prepared some black tea for me."

"Let's hope, poi."

With 8 shipgirls returning back to base, they left a couple of submarines beaten and So-class had a torpedo shoved up her throat.

"This is bullshit! I can't believe these kanmusus; trying to outsmart me like they're better than the abyssal fleet!? As if!" Ko-class shouted as she removed the torpedo out of her sister.

"So Licorice isn't wrong after all, they do have a new Teitoku." A calm voice said.

Ka-class gasped in shock after hearing that familiar voice standing right next to her.

"Wo!? Oh crap!"

"And I heard you were bad-mouthing about me, referring to me as a bitch." Standard carrier Wo-class glared downwards at Ka-class as well as an unconscious So-class that has a foamy mouth.

"No… Maybe a bit."

"Unacceptable. And since you've failed to kill Teitoku as well as killing kanmusus, I'll have you both punished!" Wo-class yanked Ka-class out of the water and pulled So-class out by the back end of the submarine.

"This is why I hate you, Wo! YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANTED, YOU BITCH!" Ka-class yelled out while being dragged by Wo-class, the fellow abyssal she hated so much.

Unknown Naval base

The time is 07:30 and all 8 shipgirls have survived and returned to the docking area.

Sendai dashed towards both Jintsuu and Naka and wrapped her arms around both of her sisters, relieved that Jintsuu survived but was fatally wounded. The Sendai trio embraced each other after Jintsuu and Naka's first mission.

Ooi sighed as Kitakami gave out a bottle of water to her, leading Ooi to instantly drink something touched by Kitakami herself. As Ooi rubbed her face on Kitakami, Kitakami herself giggled while resting on a bench.

Mutsuki then rubbed Yuudachi's head like a dog, Yuudachi enjoyed being petted by her best friend as much as being reunited with Mutsuki.

"I guess I could thank you and Yuudachi-san for stopping the ambush. You two are a big help." Louis smiled at Harusame which was the first time that she actually smiled at a shipgirl.

"No problem, Teitoku. If Yuudachi nee-san and I aren't around, then we might lose more of our friends and the abyssals would've killed you." Said Harusame.

"Come to think of it, why do the abyssal fleet want to kill me in the first place?"

"I don't know."

Then Louis reached her arm towards Harusame with a grin.

"You both are welcome to join the fleet. I wanted more shipgirls to beat those abyssals."

"Then leave the transport missions to me, desu!" Harusame salutes while being determined to assist her old friends once again.

"Oi! Teitoku! Black tea, now." Demon Kongou arrived by opening her palm, waiting for her drug.

"I'm sorry, Kongou-san, but this is the only black tea I had." Louis apologised by giving out a bottle of black tea to Kongou.

"Ah, what the hell, at least it's better than nothing." Shrugging her shoulders, Demon Kongou accepted.

Demon Kongou finally took a swig of a bottle, her tongue shrinks and her eyes change back to their original shape.

"Ah! Finally! I'm back!" Kongou cheered, returning her behaviour to a genki girl again. "Sorry about calling you names, Teitoku, please don't punish me!"

But Louis pat Kongou's shoulder.

"Thank you, Kongou-san. I'm sorry for all the things I did, and you're right about me being a shitty Teitoku." Louis apologised more which could later be learned to never doubt any shipgirls near her.

"It's okay! Does that mean you're not gonna abandon us?"

Louis sighed, realising that she has one job to do and to succeed this headache of a job.

"I won't abandon all of you. Even if I had plans for you in the future, I'll make it up by being a better Teitoku."

"Really!? Thank you, Teitoku!" Kongou then proceeds to hug the Admiral for making a promise.

"Okay, Kongou-san, you can let go now." Louis pushes Kongou a little in order to let loose.

"Someday in the future, Teitoku and I will get married!"

Louis' jaw dropped after hearing what Kongou just said as her reaction was this: "WHAT!? Married!? But we're both girls!"

"I don't care. Regardless of what Teitoku you are, we'll be together and I'll be your housewife!"

"Why… This is so wrong!"

After Louis caught all the attention by crying like a child, every shipgirls laughed, even Inazuma giggled and smiled at the Admiral until it slowly faded.

While every shipgirl apart from Kongou has their family with them, Inazuma couldn't help but think about her own sisters, knowing that they're never coming back unless they're being reconstructed.

The time is now 20:13, as the construction was a success many hours ago.

"Ooh! I can't wait for our new child!" Kongou was hyped for a new ship.

Louis is now uncomfortable about Kongou's regular behaviour as she now prefers the maniacal, no tea Kongou.

"Really? Didn't you say that we're bringing back your sisters?"

"I know, I'm just kidding. I can't believe that Haru-chan and Yuudachi-chan bought us that many resources. Aren't we lucky?" Said Kongou.

"Yeah. And it saves us the trouble for Inazuma-san to keep us from wasting that many resources." Louis then put her finger on the button. "Ready?"

Kongou nodded and also put her finger on the same button as Louis.

As they finally pushed the button, a shining glow flashed as a silhouette of a girl with ship parts was standing in front of the duo.

"Short hair!? It's got to be Hiei-chan!" Kongou has excitedly waited for this moment to come.

"Let's hope!" Unsure about the silhouette, it's Louis' first time crafting a shipgirl as her first crafted one was actually 3 and they're the Sendai sisters, so that means it's her fourth crafted shipgirl.

A footstep has approached, causing both Louis and Kongou to be curious of who that shipgirl is.

"Teitoku, thanks for your hard work. Katori class training cruiser Kashima, checking in! Ufufu."

Unfortunately, it's not any of Kongou's sisters.

Gasping in shock, Louis' luck was very low due to being a normal person. She failed to bring back any of her sisters.

"Hm? Is there something wrong, Teitoku?" Kashima asked which woke up Louis.

"No! It's nothing. Hey, Kongou-san, maybe we should try tomorrow." Louis suggested after failing their first attempt.

But Kongou refused to give up while looking twice as desperate as before.

"Kongou-san, what are you doing?"

"It's okay, Teitoku. Maybe we can try again." Kongou is shivering while trying to consume more resources than before.

"Kongou-san, don't! We can't waste any more resources!"

"But I wanted to see my sisters again."

Before Kongou pushed the button, a hand had caught her wrist, stopping her from crafting again.

"Don't." A voice called.

"Let go…" Kongou grunts as she's trying to move her arm.

"You know you're better than this. Be reasonable!"

"Please, let me go! I wanna see Hiei-chan again! I wanna see Haruna-chan again! I also wanted to see Kirishima-chan again! So, let me go, please!" Kongou is now strained from trying to craft her sisters.

"Haruna-chan and Hiei-chan are still alive! We split from each other after the previous Teitoku left. I'm sorry for never coming back to you, nee-san."

As that voice and tone sounded familiar, Kongou turned towards her hand as another hand had reached to someone's face.

And that someone is the one in glasses, Kirishima.

"Kiri… Shima-chan?" Kongou gasped as her tears were dropping from her face.

"Is the microphone's volume good? Check, 1,2... Okay. We meet again, onee-sama." Smiling as Kirishima is glad to be reunited with her older sister.

Kongou then sniffles as more tears are streaming down from her eyes like waterfalls. Then Kongou dives onto Kirishima's stomach, wailing in a bittersweet tone.

"WAAAAAAAAH, KIRISHIMAAAAAAA!"

"Shh… I'm here, onee-sama." Stroking her older sister's head as Kirishima is comforting Kongou as well as cooling her down.

A few moments later after Kongou cools down in the very same construction room, both Kashima and Louis are seated in front of Kirishima.

"You're Kirishima-san, aren't you?" Kashima is curious to know about more shipgirls.

"That's right. It's nice to meet you two, I'm Kirishima." Kirishima introduced herself.

"Kirishima-san, huh. Then how's Kongou-san?" Asked Louis.

"She's asleep." Kirishima whispers while answering a question.

As Kirishima lets go, Kongou is snoozing on her sister's lap which is warm and comfortable.

"I heard that you guys had won your first mission. That's great." Kirishima is relieved that her friends are going back to fighting against the abyssal fleet.

"Wait, you did!?" Kashima gasped with excitement as the new Admiral had succeeded in her first mission.

"Will you guys stop? This is serious business. The abyssal fleet won't stop until they have my corpse." Louis is now worried that her life is on a tightrope as being assigned to work as an admiral is actually a death sentence.

"You're right. Since my intellectual brain has helped a lot of people, I'll be able to protect you from the abyssals." Kirishima pulled her glasses up, ready to assist the Admiral.

"I'll help you too. If your life's that important, then I'll give my life to you!" Kashima too is willing to risk her life to protect Louis from the abyssals.

"You two…" Louis is glad to have more in the fleet as she has more than enough power to take down the enemy and gain victory in this war.

The battle had already won, but the war had just begun.
