Had to be rushed in two hours of so. something will happen next day, so i will be delayed!

Kent at least stopped in the changing room for me to get dressed, Jeez.

Normally i didn't pay any attention but for some reason, this embarrassment was driving me nuts. unfortunately, there wasn't anything that I felt could fit my image since what I shown up with had basically been meant more for winter trekking at hazardous mountainous. I tried chatting with Kent and putting the best of my nai've social skills to work to head back into the baths. considering that now since I was out, I was starting to feel weakness in my legs slowly but surely.

Gaugh. "K-Kent? I can barely stand, Can w-we go back in?"

"No! Can you wait here? We need to get you something that isn't just you being in these clothes over and over!" Well. That went about as well as i expected, She headed out before I could tell her that the mystery about my class could wait until later when I wasn't as tired out and that I should just get something to put me to sleep. So I wouldn't have to be in a constant state of sleep deprivation.

Well, Fuck that. Kent! What the hell!? Since when was that supposed to make good impressions on a ship who had found herself in the rear-end of a war knowing nothing and having no clue what to do!?

So now I waited in the changing room just idling for the athletic british cruiser common-build girl to get back here with something that i hoped wasn't something utterly stupid. I would have started walking around, but honestly I was feeling tired enough that i just wanted to lay down here. Actually, screw that. I wanted to go back to the baths instead.

At least looking in the mirror gave me something to do, My face looked very much like a bored Norfolk and it wasn't messy. so there was that, Still could have been damaged. so there might be a way to go before any healing might take place. Even then, It felt weird to stare at a body that technically didn't belong to me. and yet I was in control of it.

Speaking of which, I wondered if something changed about my eyes if i intentionally used my sixth sense. Would it glow of have a Innovator-like effect? I was curious.

So twiddling my fingers and hugging myself for warmth. Kent returned and had something that would fit me reasonably. and didn't look like fan appeal. Consider me genuinely unamused after all the melon-chasing and big chest oneesans that I know the fanbase gets up to. Granted, I think it could have been refugees clothes considering the encumberment of the shirt. But it was something, and I was not in the mood to walk around with nothing on. I know that I didn't want a repeat of parents undressing their kids in playgrounds just to correct a reversed shirt.

But that meant that I had to get off from the beach I had been sitting on. "Uuuu...uu..." And of course, Kent started pushing me around and off out of the room and into the hallways. I don't know what Kent might be planning, But I didn't dare question her of voice my opinions right now. As it stood I was getting irritated from lack of rest!

I think some of the shipgirls-some familiar. others new were equally surprised as to why I was being moved and tugged around by Kent. when the two of us passed by them, every single one of them gave us confused looks. I made sure to point at Kirishima trying to hint, Some got the memo. others didn't. Then again, given what Kent does and with her thin armor scheme...

Things continued as usual until we turned around a corner and came point-blank with San juan who didn't seem to be happy with what was going. She told Kent that I wasn't supposed to be here as I tried to point at the heavy cruiser with my hands. "H-her!" I squeaked as Kent stopped tugging me along. but only to engage the other cruiser in a argument. and I just realized that San juan probably was the replacement for a Z23 figure judging from what they were saying.

Poke them in the chest, see if that gets you anywhere?

If i could, I would have turned around by now. but as things were going, she would scream at me if i tried that. so there I was. trying not to look scared as Kent and San Juan went at each other, The more this dragged on. the more irritated San Juan got and the more sheepish and worried Kent got. Almost made me wonder about the fragility of two giants. Somewhat.

Eventually San juan told Kent to head elsewhere and turned her gaze onto me... I found myself under pressure as the damn cruiser sure could have scared me!

"Hey! You!" She started first. "Kent tells me that you only know yourself as the Alsace-class. And yet you are Norfolk. Correct?"

"Y-yes." I stammered. startled by what had just happened, She didn't sound as angry as her expression implied. still, I prepared a spell in the back of my mind if anything were to happen.

San Juan just motioned for me to follow. "Come." She turned into the other direction and began walking off. I considered saying something backhanded but i decided against it.

Eventually we went to a door and Juan opened it. I stepped inside and followed behind, It was a office. that i could tell. I briefly wondered if this had been used in the past.

Taiga-clone indicated for me to take a seat as i did so. Honestly, I felt more comfortable being this up close inside my range of my magical girl powers, Too bad I couldn't call on them right now. I like not feeling being tired all the time. Juan wrote something before she looked at me closely. making me shiver a bit in discomfort.

"So, Any theories? Can you tell us your story? What happened?" She said as I blankly looked at her before speaking up.

"Uh... Sure..?" I decided to put on the best one i could. No need to screw this up. "I... don't remember much, Only that I woke up in the water and.. A-and I know i am Norfolk and yet... I am Alsace..."

"HMS Norfolk? Hmm.." She said, looking interested before going back to her writing. "But a Alsace-class? I haven't heard of such a thing happening before, let alone how a shipgirl can possibly be summoned as the wrong class. But this is enough to make an educated guess... For now, It also helps that it acts to identify you." She looked up at me. looking like usual tsuntsun Taiga. "We look you over when you're healthy."

"Oh?" I tilted my head. "Is there anything that will happen from this p-point?"

"Don't know yet, That's the commander's decision." She admitted. "I will let you know what we find in your inspection." She continued. "So, Anything you can recount? Anything from when you woke up?"

I put a hand to rest my head on as I stammered a bit. "W-Well. When I woke up, I... I panicked. It was like I was lost in the middle of n-nowhere, But I began getting m-my bearings and started searching f-for friendly forces. I began s-sending out radio signals asking anyone to respond, I-I ran across a siren squadron and destroyed them. sunk them all."

"Did you know anything about the sirens before your first encounter with them? Were you the only one? Anything else you remember?" Juan asked. checking down her writing as I looked more and more like official Norfolk before I continued my story.

"A-Ah. Well, I don't remember much about them. o-only that I felt t-they would do b-bad things to me," I paused as I took in a breath to calm myself. "I-I was the only one, I don't remember anyone else b-being with me. I remember something faintly a-about my past but... I don't k-know anything beyond that." I half-lied there. Myself of not, I would not risk being found out.

"What did you do after setting course? Attempting to reach friendly fleets? Heading for where you assumed friendly ports were?"

I grunted. closing my eyes briefly before looking at her dead in the eyes. "I.. I simply set course on a random bearing and only changed my direction to avoid enemy fleets or s-submarines. I w-was waiting for someone to respond to my radio signals f-for help. I.. I believed that trying to break out rather than knowing where a friendly fleet was... i-is much more risker." San Juan lifted a eyebrow before nodding. "Can I go out now?" That earned another nod as well.

"A-Anything to help me sleep?"

"No."

Oh, Fuck that!

Well, Good thing is that I got to get back into the bath. It was a huge relief to my stamina and my pain resistance as the longer i stayed in it. the better I felt, And the best part was that aside from someone. I was the only one in these baths. However, It also meant kent was that someone. And she would. not. leave me alone for hell sake!

"H-Hey..." She muttered, looking like she wanted to apologize of something. "I was curious and I thought you would be too and... I guess my curiosity got me... Norfie, I am sorry if i hurt you!"

"I-It's okay." I replied. trying to reassure her. "Just... Next time, don't g-get over excited when I am still in the baths still h-hurting."

"But surely there is something I can do to make it up to you?" She said. "Whatever I did, I must have made you uncomfortable or put a lot of pressure on you throughout the whole ordeal!"

"Somewhat. It's not like I was in constant pain for hours and hours on. e..ehehe!" I giggled again to try and show her i didn't view her the worse for it. "S-Still, If you wanna m-make it up to me. M-maybe you can let me rest here for a bit."

"Hey!" Ouch, that shout. So much for that. She really was a athletic. "Surely there must be something I can do? Norfie?"

Alright, That had done it. If that had to be it. "S-Sure, Can you get me something to look at.. like... mobiles of anything from these cribs to give m-me something to look at?" Huh, Kent wasn't tired out and was very energetic right now. Me. On the other hand? She tried to process what i heard.

"M-Mobile?"

"Yes, S-something like from w-whatever plays that m-music." I repeated while looking up at the ceiling.

"Do we have anything like that around here?" Huh, A militarized port wouldn't be a good place for kids unless they were refugees, Way to point it out. Kent.

"Y-yeah, but it's a form of sleep aid and I don't feel l-like being awake for how long i-it will be until i am released, otherwise I-i will go crazy from how long i need to... wait." I sighed as i brushed my hair. "Can y-you get me the mobile? When you get back here, you can keep quiet and l-let me sleep. Besides. I think your sisters m-must be worried too."

Kent considered this for a moment. "Is there anything else i can do?" Huh, now that i think about it.

"Bring me foooddd to eattt." I emphasized it with a long tone.

"Why would you want me to bring food into the baths? You get water all over it!"

"I... Just..." I cut in. "Just treat me to dinner. o-okay? Maybe w-when I am healthy enough to be released f-from this."

Oh god, She's gone already. Well. Goddamn it... I am not going to have to drag a fast heavy cruiser back in here aren't i?

I managed to drag myself out of the pool and set my destination for the changing rooms. trying to catch Kent before she went out the door. I don't really want to get yelled out by whoever finds Kent for sending her out looking for something that kids used.

I caught her just as she was able to head out. "You don't need to go out! Just hold on!" I began, standing there. "M-Maybe you can visit from time to time and keep me company. you know!"

"But, you asked for food and to leave you quiet!" She protested.

"Yes but, I... It can wait! It's not like I am going to g-go elsewhere! It might only be like a few hours at w-worst!"

"Yes, But I can still go get whatever you want me to do!" She replied. moving over to try and tug me to the baths. "You should rest right now, Norfie! I get your food." After that... Was basically a argument involving me tying to resist my way back into the changing room. That was when i accidentally pulled Kent over with me.

I landed on my back about the same time Kent ended up right on top of me.

Pretty sure something just slipped. too.

I checked it when the other cruiser just stared at me in surprise, And I just noticed I pulled down her suit of whatever it was exposing her chest to my eyes... And she was staring at my chest and everything as well as my undone hair. And I just realized we were in a compromising position. And being a Magical girl meant you had to deal with wehraboos of other magical girls trying to lewd you.

"...HIEEEEEEE!" Pretty sure the entire port heard me scream. God, that sure hurt!
