authors note: I made some changes to the previous chapter, after reviewer feedback. BTW your comments are greatly appreciated.
I okay, this is my room, according to the paper. There's a pair of girls in green dresses making out on the couch. Don't get nervous, Michael. Do not get nervous, Michael. Don't you dare get fracking nervous you idiotic dolt.
"Y-yeah, thi-this is torpedo squadron 6, right?" I said kicking myself for shaking so much.
"5 doors down the hall, to the left," the raven-haired girl said pleasantly. However, the redhead shot me a look that could kill. I got out of there before anything else could happen.
Finally, I got to the correct room. there was a girl in red and white striped stockings, three girls in red dresses, and two in Japanese schoolgirl outfits, one of whom approached me. Then I realized who she was.
"You're the one who saved me! On that island!" I blurted out, hoping I didn't sound too excited.
She blushed a bit "The name's Fubuki, V-170, I presume?"
"That's not my name…"
"Oh, so what is it then?"
"That's the thing. I can't say my name, It just comes out as V-170, no matter what."
"Really? That would explain why you look so American, did you try spelling it?"
"M-I-C-H-A-E-L"
She looked slightly disappointed "That doesn't help me; I don't know my English letters."
"Wait then how are you…"
"You hear English from me, I hear Japanese from you I don't know how this works, I'm just grateful it does."
Okay now let's see if we have it right this time. "So, it this torpedo squadron 6?" good.
"Yep, make yourself at home!"
I had just managed to set my things (school-issued spare clothes) down when Nagato called on the loudspeaker.
"Attention, Exercise match in 10 minutes, the participants will be carrier Kaga, Battleship Kongou, Light cruiser Naka, and Destroyers Yuudachi, Maikaze, and V-170.
A ship girl in a red dress came and took me by the arm and said: "c'mon V, we'll get introductions out of the way later time for your first fight!"
