(Can anyone guess which ship girl will be the next one built?)

Finally, one more wave: "Please give flowers," "Please give rewards," "Please add to favorites," or "Please give monthly tickets."

Chapter 162 Senior

"Admiral, it seems like a strange power is appearing in our bodies." After the electric current flowed into Mikami Hiroyu's back, it immediately took over most of the ship girl's power.

"Electricity, don't be afraid, this is magic. I never thought that you would become the second batch of magical ship girls in our Maizuru Naval Base after Yamato and Taihou," said Mikami Hiroyu with emotion.

This isn't surprising, as Xiao and her companions' affinity with Yuu was originally between 89 and 88. What they saw and heard during this expedition filled them with gratitude towards Yuu, deepening their loyalty. Therefore, after Xiao and her companions personally informed Yuu of the successful completion of the expedition, their affinity with him naturally reached 90 points. This fulfilled the most basic requirement for becoming Magic Ship Girls; through the Soul Network's modifications, Xiao and her companions successfully transitioned from ordinary destroyer ship girls to Magic Ship Girls.

"Admiral, does that mean we can use magic like Yamato-senpai and the others?" Akatsuki asked hopefully after hearing Mikami Hiroyu say that the power appearing in their bodies was the magic that elevated Yamato and the others' combat power to another dimension.

"Yes, just like Yamato and the others. But I still need to build one, so I can only teach you how to use magic later," Mikami Hiroyu said regretfully.

Hibiki, usually so calm, showed a flicker of excitement upon learning that she possessed magic within her that could rapidly boost her combat power: "Admiral, let's start building first, there's no rush."

“Yes, Hibiki is right. The magic is right behind us now, we can’t escape. As a proper lady, we should wait for our fleet comrades to come out first,” Akatsuki said happily.

"Alright, since you all say so, let's set off now to welcome our fleet's newest member." Mikami Hiroyu waved his left hand and immediately led the way towards the construction room.

Akatsuki and the others followed behind Mikami Hiroyu, leaving only Nagato and Iowa at the scene.

"Iowa, you didn't expect this, did you?" Nagato said with a wicked grin as he looked at Iowa.

"Yes, I didn't expect that the destroyers who joined the naval base just yesterday could reach a friendship level of 90 with the admiral today. They've become magical ship girls after Yamato and Taihou," Iowa said with a complicated expression.

Iowa was the first to join Mikami Hiroyu's Maizuru Naval Base. Iowa wasn't surprised that Yamato and Taihou reached a 90-point affinity with Mikami Hiroyu. After all, Yamato and Taihou were completely devoted to Mikami Hiroyu; the Admiral was everything to them, so their affinity quickly reached 90. It wasn't surprising that Akatsuki and the others reached 90 points with the Admiral within two days either. After all, the Admiral was their savior; their initial affinity with him was 88 and 89 respectively. During today's expedition, Akatsuki and the others probably saw and sensed the outsiders' attitude towards the Maizuru ship girls, and naturally their affinity rose to 90 points upon their return.

Iowa's affinity with Mikami Hiroyu is 89 points, just one point away from the crucial 90-point threshold for a ship girl's attitude towards the admiral. But that tiny difference is preventing her from reaching it. Actually, 89 points of affinity is very high, no, extremely high. But as Mikami Hiroyu's starting ship, it's one thing for Iowa to be surpassed by Yamato and the others, but to be surpassed by a ship girl who only joined two days ago is something Iowa can't understand. Is she disloyal to Mikami Hiroyu? That's the only question Iowa can think of right now.

"Iowa, how about we make a bet?"

"bet?"

“Yes, it’s a bet. We’re betting on who can reach a 90-point intimacy level with the Admiral,” Nagato said with a smile.

"What's the bet?" Iowa was a little angry. She hadn't expected Nagato to dare to make such a bet with her. As the starting ship of Mikami Hiroyu, Iowa couldn't explain it.

"I haven't decided yet, but that won't stop the bet from going ahead."

“Okay, I’ll bet you. Whoever gets to 90 or 10 points in intimacy with the Admiral first will become the new Magic Ship Girl of the fleet,” Iowa said confidently.

"Okay, it's decided then."

When Nagato and Iowa arrived at the construction room, Mikami Hiroyu had already put the resources into the construction machine, and then Mikami Hiroyu pressed the start button.

When Yu Shenhaoyu checked the construction time again this time, he actually let out a surprised "Eh".

"What's wrong with the Admiral?" Xiao asked curiously.

"Nothing much, just a bit of a surprise." Yu Shenhaoyu looked at the time displayed on the construction machine: eight hours, the same time it took to build Musashi.

Yamato promptly handed over the rapid construction tool. Mikami Hiroyu took it from Yamato and said curiously, "I want to see who will emerge from this construction."

However, after Yu Shenhaoyu used the high-speed construction, the construction machine's time quickly returned to zero.

As the gate of the construction machine opened slightly, Mikami Hiroyu felt as if he had arrived in Germany during World War II. He wondered if the ship girls being built this time would be German.

A blonde, blue-eyed ship girl who looked somewhat like a Persian cat, with a prominent Iron Cross on her chest and wearing a German naval uniform, appeared before Mikami Hiroyu.

"Nice to meet you, Admiral. I am Bismarck, the first battleship. Bismarck is here to report to you." The newly built ship girl Bismarck gave Yukami Yukami his first report.

"Well, Maizuru Naval Base welcomes you. Please take care of me in the future," said Mikami Hiroyu with a smile.

"Senior Bismarck!" Prinz Eugen, a fellow German ship girl, exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the German battleship Bismarck.

"Is that Eugen? Are you also at the Admiral's naval base?" Bismarck asked upon seeing his junior, the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, also in the same naval base.

"Yes, Bismarck-senpai, I am now a ship girl serving at the Maizuru Naval Base."

Looking at Bismarck catching up with Eugen and Musashi standing behind Yamato, Mikami Hiroyu was speechless. This time, he'd actually received two super battleships: Musashi, the second Yamato-class battleship, and Bismarck, the first Bismarck-class battleship. But why were all the ships that came fleets of Yamato, or sister ships or shipgirls related to Prinz Eugen?

Overall, the construction went very smoothly. The main task of the naval base now is to quickly upgrade Musashi and Bismarck's levels and combat capabilities, at least to catch up with Iowa and Nagato. However, the naval base has ample resources, and in a short time, Musashi and Bismarck can achieve a considerable level of combat strength.

(Okay! You all guessed it!!)

Chapter 163 Akagi = Overstuffed

Riding the wave of producing only super battleships, Mikami Hiroyu built another one, using a formula similar to the previous one. However, perhaps wanting to collect all the sister ships of the fleet's ship girls, after Mikami Hiroyu used the high-speed construction, Akagi, who had a comradeship with Kaga, emerged from the construction machine.

Yes, it's Akagi, the lead ship of the Akagi-class regular aircraft carriers. Akagi was the second ship of the Amagi-class heavy aircraft carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the flagship of the First Air Fleet, and the first large aircraft carrier built for the First Air Squadron. As Japan's largest aircraft carrier (excluding Shinano) and the first large aircraft carrier built, Akagi has always been regarded as the symbol of the mobile force: the Imperial Navy formed the First Air Squadron with Akagi as its flagship in 1928, and the Second Air Squadron with her as its flagship in 1934. In 1941, when the First Air Fleet was established, Akagi once again existed as the flagship of the entire mobile force, and it can be called the cradle of the Japanese naval air force.

At the same time, Akagi and Kaga, who was in the same First Carrier Division as Mikami Hiroyu, were very close. Because they were quasi-equivalent ships created due to the Washington Naval Treaty, and as the absolute mainstay of the aircraft carrier force, they had been partners for more than ten years.

Initially, Akagi had a very good impression of Mikami Hiroyu. She had a Yamato Nadeshiko appearance similar to Yamato, and her tone was very gentle. She was practically the epitome of long, straight black hair, and the combination of a mature woman and white stockings made Akagi's Yamato Nadeshiko appearance almost indistinguishable from Yamato's.

Looking at Akagi, who was now truly feasting, and Kaga, who was actually serving Akagi food, Mikami Hiroyu was somewhat speechless. This was exactly like Yamato before she gained magic power and relied on resources for energy – she could eat, she could eat a lot, she could eat an enormous amount. Fortunately, Akagi had a ship girl contract with Mikami Hiroyu, and could rely on the support of Mikami Hiroyu's soul network to reduce Akagi's excessive resource consumption.

Fortunately, she didn't appear before Yamato and the others. Otherwise, let alone developing his Maizuru, the sheer amount of resources he would have to provide for Akagi would have left Mikami Hiroyu in despair. Maizuru currently has abundant resources, but it would be best to quickly raise Akagi's affection level to 90 and make her a magical ship girl. Otherwise, Mikami Hiroyu's resources might not be enough to sustain Maizuru on par with the Abyssal Fleet. The General Naval Base can only offer him minimal assistance now.

We could have sent Xiao and the others on an expedition, but after they returned, their affinity with me reached 90 points, and they developed magical powers. Sending them on another expedition would be like using an anti-aircraft gun to swat flies.

Mikami Hiroyu still remembers what Akagi said to him when she came out: "Admiral, it's nice to meet you. I am the first ship of the Akagi-class regular aircraft carrier, 'Akagi.' As the flagship of the First Carrier Division, I will work with Kaga, who is also from the First Carrier Division, to offer our honor as the First Carrier Division to our naval base."

Mikami Hiroyu initially had a very good first impression of Akagi, after all, the fleet also included Kaga, a fellow First Carrier Division commander, who had made significant contributions to the development of Maizuru. Kaga's performance in the Admiral's Drama Tournament and her massive output in conquering the Abyss had greatly satisfied Mikami Hiroyu. As the flagship of the First Carrier Division, Akagi was probably about the same level as Kaga, and being the flagship, she couldn't possibly be inferior to Kaga!

However, Akagi's next sentence completely overturned Mikami Hiroyu's perception of Akagi.

"Um, Admiral, could I get some supplies?" Akagi asked shyly.

At first, Mikami Hiroyu didn't think anything was wrong. Although Akagi was the first ship girl to ask for supplies as soon as she was built, Mikami Hiroyu still smiled and agreed.

However, Mikami Hiroyu quickly noticed Akagi's enormous energy expenditure, leading him to think that Akagi could perhaps also be called "Overeating," with the same pronunciation. Moreover, "Overeating" better reflected Akagi's character.

Mikami Hiroyu maliciously imagined that if he ordered Akagi to sortie, Akagi would probably say, "First Carrier Division, Akagi, sortie!" That translates to, "Carrier Division, Akagi (overeats), sortie (sleeps)!"

At that moment, Yu Shen Haoyu felt the malice emanating from the world. World, are you sure Akagi won't hold Maizuru back? Yu Shen Haoyu even had a feeling that the world's consciousness was deliberately teasing him.

However, seeing Kaga's previously expressionless face soften with a faint smile as she served rice to Akagi, and the happiness emanating from her body, Mikami Hiroyu was certain that Kaga and Akagi's relationship was more than just that of comrades in the First Carrier Division; there was definitely a deeper connection. Mikami Hiroyu dared not think any further, because he was now directly experiencing the malice of the world.

If a lily were to bloom in his Maizuru Garrison, Yu Shen Haoyu was certain that he would be a true legend for all time.

Yu Shen Haoyu discovered that the ship girls he was building this time were indeed related to the ship girls in his fleet. For example, there was Musashi, the younger sister of Yamato; Bismarck, the predecessor of Eugen; and now Akagi, a comrade of Kaga. If he continued building, whose older sister, younger sister, or comrade would be next?

Yu Shen Haoyu still didn't believe it. If he was so capable, he should really give him another ship girl who was related to the fleet's ship girls. That way, Maizuru could hold a get-together and properly celebrate the reunion of the ship girls' family and friends.

Iowa and Taihou are now seriously discussing the three coincidences that occurred during Mikami Hiroyu's recent construction. They're practically immune to Mikami Hiroyu using the destroyer formula to build battleships, regular aircraft carriers, and rare ship girls. However, thinking about their admiral, who's been playing around with different tactics today, producing battleships, regular aircraft carriers, and sister ships of rare ship girls—basically, related ship girls—Iowa thinks that her admiral truly can achieve anything if you set your mind to it. But how can she break through 89 and reach 90 points with her admiral? That's a real problem.

"Admiral, are you still going to build it?" Taihou asked as she saw Mikami Hiroyu carrying resources and walking towards the construction machine.

"Yeah, I want to see whose sister ship or comrade-in-arms ship girl will be built next. I don't believe it," said Mikami Hiroyu, unconvinced.

Upon hearing what Yushin Hiroyu said, the ship girls present were filled with anticipation. They also knew that the ship girls their admiral had built today all had some kind of connection to the ship girls in the fleet. So, next, which ship girl would their admiral build that had a connection to which ship girl?

(So, can you guess what happened next?)

Chapter 164 The World's Joke

Just as Iowa and the others were speculating about whose sister ship Mikami Hiroyu would build, Mikami Hiroyu had already put the construction resources into the construction machine.

"I can't do it. If you're so capable, give me another ship girl with weird attributes. Then I'll truly admire you," said Mikami Hiroyu before pressing the start construction button, still unconvinced.

But the world played a cruel joke on Yushin Hiroyu. If he had a second chance, he would never have said those words. But it's too late to say anything now.

After Mikami Hiroyu used the high-speed construction, the gate of the construction machine slowly opened. This time, Mikami Hiroyu was paying close attention to the construction machine, eager to see what ship girl would emerge. If Akagi's appearance before hers felt normal to Mikami Hiroyu, then this ship girl's appearance felt very strange to him—yes, very strange.

Because Yuu felt a feeling that had nothing to do with ship girls and war, like a shut-in girl who had no motivation and only wanted to stay at home.

Yu Shen Haoyu wondered if a girl who lacked motivation and only wanted to stay at home could be associated with ship girls. However, the ship girls that were built soon refreshed Yu Shen Haoyu's understanding of ship girls.

The ship girl before Yushin Hiroyu wore the same German naval uniform as Bismarck and Prinz Eugen, and bore the Iron Cross, clearly representing Germany. It was obvious she was a German ship girl; her twin 406mm gun turrets confirmed she was a German battleship, and a very powerful one at that.

Based on Yu Shenhao's limited knowledge of German battleships during World War II, Germany only possessed the Bismarck-class battleships. However, the Bismarck, the lead ship of the Bismarck-class, was only recently completed. Therefore, the German battleship in front of them could only be the second ship of the Bismarck-class, the Tirpitz.

However, the Bismarck-class battleship Tirpitz, as understood by Yu Shenhaoyu, was the second ship of the Bismarck-class battleships in the Nazi German Navy. The Tirpitz was named after Alfred von Tirpitz (1849-1930), known as the "Father of the German Navy" and Grand Admiral of the Imperial German Navy. The ship was once called the "Lonely Queen of the North" by the Allies.

As a warship, the Tirpitz also had a commendable record. The Tirpitz tied down the Royal Navy's North Sea fleet and two-fifths of its strategic air force, preventing the Royal Navy from deploying troops in other operational directions. The Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Air Force, together, launched 13 major air raids on it, totaling 600 sorties. In the summer of 1944, the British commissioned a super bomb, codenamed "Tallhouse," weighing approximately 12000 pounds (nearly 5.5 tons), specifically designed for the Tirpitz. Finally, on November 12, 1944, 29 modified Lancaster bombers, led by British Colonel Forrest, sank her in Lingenfjord near Tromsø, Norway.

But the one standing in front of Yu Shen Haoyu now has beautiful pink hair and an adorable ahoge (cowlick). Wearing headphones that have nothing to do with ship girls, she exudes a strong aura of a lazy, otaku girl, with a touch of naivety.

"Um, I'm the second ship of the Bismarck class—the battleship Tirpitz. Tirpitz, that's me~ Ugh, so troublesome... I need to finish up and head back to port to rest." The newly built ship girl, the battleship Tirpitz, said lazily.

Bismarck, the older sister of the battleship Tirpitz, couldn't stand it when she heard her younger sister speak to the admiral like that. She walked up to Tirpitz and began to scold her: "Tirpitz, you are too rude. How can you speak to the admiral like that?"

When Tirpitz saw her sister Bismarck, she knew things were going badly. Before she could even salvage the situation, Bismarck's lecture had already begun.

Looking at the two ship girls with such different personalities, Mikami Hiroyu couldn't understand why there was such a difference between them, even though they were both Bismarck-class battleships. As the older sister, she had the seriousness and earnestness of a German soldier, but this younger sister... Mikami Hiroyu really couldn't imagine that such a lazy ship girl could be the sister of the serious Bismarck.

"Admiral, please excuse my sister. Due to historical reasons, she is now behaving in such an unseemly manner," Bismarck said apologetically to Mikami Hiroyu after lecturing his sister.

Upon hearing Bismarck's words, Mikami Hiroyu seemed to recall Tirpitz from history. Perhaps it was similar events at other times that turned Tirpitz into a recluse, exuding a lazy aura.

Due to the sinking of the Bismarck and other surface ship failures in attacks on merchant ships, Hitler lost faith in the surface fleet, and the ship remained in a state of "restricted operation" for a long period. In March 1942, the British Royal Marines raided the large dry dock in Saint-Nazaire, France, destroying the only large dry dock in the Atlantic capable of repairing the battleship Tirpitz. The Tirpitz was forced to move to the waters north of Norway, where it spent most of World War II.

Afterwards, Tirpitz remained a mainstay of the Royal Navy fleet in the northern waters of Norway, but primarily served as a deterrent, shuttling between various Norwegian ports to contain the Royal Navy. While in Norway, Tirpitz made three sorties, but only had the opportunity to fire upon the enemy once, in 1943. Due to these actions, the Norwegians gave her the nickname "The Lonely Queen of the North." A lonely, reclusive woman of the North, or simply a "Northern Homebody." She spent her days idly in Norway, or simply crouching and waiting for the RAF to drop bombs.

The lonely homebody from the North, or simply "Northern Homebody." Yu Shen Haoyu felt this ship girl, who resembled a homebody, was a perfect fit. However, Yu Shen Haoyu was currently pursuing ship girls with powerful combat capabilities, ship girls capable of fighting in the deep sea.

But the world's consciousness seemed determined to play tricks on him. Of all the ship girls built this time, only the Bismarck battleship, with its serious, German-sounding personality, satisfied Mikami Hiroyu. The other two were lucky if they didn't hold Maizuru back; one was a huge eater, the other a huge homebody, and neither had anything to do with combat.

Yuuji Mikami has given up on the idea of ​​building another one; who knows what kind of bizarre ship girl will emerge from the next attempt? However, Yuuji Mikami is quite satisfied with Bismarck. Overall, the construction was a success, as it added a super battleship to the fleet. Bismarck will be able to unleash her formidable combat power in a short time.

Chapter 165 Two Fleets

Although now that Yamato and the others have become magical ship girls, when they conquer the deep sea, they can take them out with one shot, and then there is basically nothing else to do but organize resources.

Even the Harbor Princess, one of the flagships of the Abyss, couldn't withstand a serious shot from Yamato, let alone the heavy cruisers of the Ne-class and light carriers of the Abyss. However, to prevent the fleet from developing abnormally, Mikami Hiroyu still planned to build a few ship girls that were actually aircraft carriers. But Mikami Hiroyu didn't have that plan right now. One must take things one step at a time; if he built them but didn't have time to train them, it would just be a waste.

Now, regarding the reorganization of the fleet, after discussions between Mikami Hiroyu and his secretary ship Yamato, it's decided that Maizuru's ship girls can be divided into three fleets: a first attack force, a second attack force, and a third attack force. Currently, Maizuru has a total of twenty-three ship girls; excluding the supply ship Mamiya, there are twenty-two left. This allows for three fleets, each with seven members. The extra girl will be randomly assigned to one of the fleets by Mikami Hiroyu.

It's the same conference room, but the difference is that, apart from Admiral Hiroyu Mikami, there were only Yamato, Taihou, and Maizuru Naval Base of Iowa at the beginning, but now there are twenty-three ship girls.

Following Yamato's notification, the fleet's ship girls arrived at the conference room early, knowing that the meeting was about the reorganization of the fleet. Before Mikami Hiroyu arrived, Iowa and the others were discussing who they would be paired with in their fleets.

Although Iowa and the others knew that Yamato, as the secretary ship, might know the specific divisions of the fleet, none of them asked. After all, they were ship girls, not students.

When Mikami Hiroyu arrived at the conference room, he found that all his ship girls were already there. After a brief opening remark, Mikami Hiroyu got down to business.

This fleet reorganization was made to take into account the possibility of ship girls joining Maizuru in the future, and the deep sea areas that Maizuru currently faces in 3-1 and 3-4. Mikami Hiroyu considered several factors and thus made this reorganization.

"The first attack force will still be led by Yamato as the flagship, and the fleet members will be the battleship Nagato, the battleship Mutsu, the aircraft carrier Akagi, the destroyer Yuudachi, and the destroyer Shigure. These individuals will form the first attack force, responsible for conquering the 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas of our Maizuru Naval Base. After you have conquered the 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas of our Maizuru Naval Base, I will give you the first attack force. So, are you confident in conquering the 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas of our Maizuru Naval Base?" Mikami Hiroyu asked with a smile after reading out the members of the first attack force and their tasks.

"Admiral, rest assured, our first attack force will complete the mission of conquering the 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas of our Maizuru Naval Base!" Yamato said with great confidence.

Nagato: "Admiral, don't worry, I'll let those Abyssal Fleet know the strength of Maizuru. Don't underestimate the power of the Big Seven!"

作为刚被御神浩宇拿出来放进第一攻击部队的赤城来说，这次战斗仅仅是证明她的存在价值。跟重要的是，御神浩宇把攻略舞鹤的镇守府负责的3-1海域和3-4海域的任务交给，第一攻击部队，这便是对第一攻击部队每一位舰娘的认同。赤城现在都能清楚的感觉到来自除第一攻击部队的舰娘的羡慕的眼神了。在她们看来，哪怕攻略其镇守府负责的3-1海域和3-4海域100个，都不入攻略一个自己提督负责的3-1海域和3-4海域。

Akagi said very seriously to Mikami Hiroyu, "Admiral, please wait patiently at the naval base. We will bring back the good news of victory. Kaga and I will show you the glory of the First Carrier Division!"

As a newcomer to Maizuru, Shigure has significantly increased her power with the help of Mikami Hiroyu's soul network. However, Shigure hasn't yet adjusted to her previous mindset. She had participated in the fleet's conquest plan at the previous naval base, but was mercilessly crushed by the Abyssal Fleet. Not to mention that Mikami Hiroyu is now having her conquer the even more terrifying 3-1 and 3-4 sea areas.

Shigure hesitated for a moment before saying, "Admiral, can I really be in the First Attack Squadron? I'm just a destroyer!"

With a smile, Mikami Hiroyu encouraged him, saying, "Shigure, you must have full confidence in yourself. Believe that you can do it. Remember this: you are now Maizuru's ship girl, and no matter who the Maizuru ship girl is, she is the strongest!"

Encouraged by Mikami Hiroyu, Shigure quickly rallied and confidently declared, "Admiral, I've got it. I'm now a Maizuru ship girl, and Maizuru ship girls are the strongest! Destroyer Shigure, sortie!"

"That's right, the Admiral is right. Once you get to the 3-1 area, you'll see that what the Admiral said is absolutely true! So, let's have a splendid party! poi!" As Shigure's sister ship, Yuudachi also cheered Shigure on.

Seeing Shigure's newfound confidence, Mikami Hiroyu was quite pleased. This was also why he assigned Shigure to the First Attack Squadron; Shigure was currently extremely insecure, and Mikami Hiroyu intended for her to find that confidence during the upcoming campaigns in areas 3-1 and 3-4. As for why Akagi was in the First Attack Squadron, it's simple: Maizuru currently only has three carrier shipgirls, so a simple calculation is: one carrier per fleet. Taihou and Kaga have both brought Mikami Hiroyu considerable honors, so their combat strength is undeniable. As for Akagi, it's best to let her level up in the First Fleet first.

Now that Yamato has broken through level 100, although she hasn't undergone a full upgrade, it's more worthwhile for her to use that time to practice magic usage, as this would result in a greater increase in combat power. Since becoming a magic-wielding ship girl, Yamato practices magic usage whenever she has free time. She can now execute the combat power that Mikami Hiroyu unleashed while controlling her that night with great skill.

It can be said that a single Yamato could make the area under the jurisdiction of the Harbor Princess enter and exit seven times.

The reason why the first and second Nagato-class battleships, Nagato and Mutsu, were both in the First Attack Squadron is quite simple. Nagato, needless to say, aside from a few magical ship girls, is among the top five strongest of the Maizuru ship girls!

The reason Mutsu was placed in the First Attack Squadron was similar to that of Shigure. It was simply to build Mutsu's confidence; a battleship doesn't need that, so Mikami Hiroyu didn't need to worry about her confidence. The reason Mutsu was placed in the First Attack Squadron was to let her learn from Maizuru's combat methods in conquering the Abyss.

(I managed to finish Chapter Two, so please give me some flowers and rewards, everyone!!)

Chapter 166 Harbor Attack!

However, after Mikami Hiroyu finished reading out the members of the First Fleet, Akagi realized that Mikami Hiroyu did not intend to assign her to the First Fleet. This meant that she would not be able to continue fighting alongside Kaga. Although she was a little disappointed, Akagi believed that they could still fight together in the future.

But after Mikami Hiroyu announced the Second Fleet, Akagi still hadn't received his name, and he started to panic. Just then, Den spoke up, offering Akagi a glimmer of hope. However, Mikami Hiroyu's next words left Akagi somewhat disappointed.
