'My life as a Teitoku start here...!'

I shout in my head as I face the sea near my new naval base. I don't want to suffer sore throat as well as don't like people see me in happy state.

Oh! Yes, the naval base daily life stories I promised start here, too. I wish.

I find the way to my new office in the map. There, I will met Inazuma who is my secretary ship. Why my secretary is a ship? And what is secretary ship in the first place? Well, whatever.

And here! I reach the naval base gate. Let me absorb this feeling a minute. The feeling of an employee who got promoted and just finished moving into a more comfortable new office. Ah... What a big lovely naval base. What a goodness. What a ...

"Commander-san!"

I immediately stop my train of thought. A girl's voice? I look around and found that voice's owner. What? What should a middle school girl do in a place like this? Is she lost? Oh, I must help her though I just reach here and don't know the way. I can read a map and I am an adult after all.

"Commander-san?"

Was that girl calling me? I turn around and look. No one is around here. I turn back to face her.

"Are you talking to me?" I ask.

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"U-um..." She compose her sentence in her head. "Um... Are you commander-san?"

I don't know. What should I answer? I only know that I am a Teitoku... What is Teitoku in the first place?

"I have no idea." Crap. I hate my way of talking. Well, I'm an adult. I shouldn't lie, should I?

She looks hesitant and lost. Crap. Should I just lie?

"Um... What can I do to help you? Who are you?" I still hate my way of talking.

"I'm Inazuma. I'm looking for my commander." She gives me a paper from her hands. Surprisingly, it has my information and picture in it. Wait, did she just say Inazuma?

"Oh..." What should I say in this situation?

"If you happen to be the person in that information, please follow me. If you-"

"Oh..." Crap, I really hate my way of talking.

- author note -

Author is here. Inazuma, too. Not hard to guess who is my starter ship, right?

Teitoku - Shireikan - Shirei, what an intricate name? I will use 'admiral' for 'Teitoku' and 'commander' for 'Shireikan' and 'Shirei' when the shipgirl talk to her. But use Teitoku as the nickname of the Kancolle admiral position. Why? Of course, because foreign language is way too cool! Why Bismarck zwei instead of kai ni? It's the same reason.

Look forward to your support. Until next chapter!
