Kantai Collection – Kankore – Kagerou, Batsubyou Shimasu! Vol 1 Chapter 6.1

Chapter 6 : First Gold

Part 1

The order to wait inside the room literally was, just wait until there's another order . In an emergency, we would be called and dispatched immediately, but there's nothing to do unless it's so .

It's boring time, and the best thing to kill time was 'Lying down' . After that were reading, meditation, muscle training, etc . There were also some betting things .  
The members of 14th DesDiv also stayed in their room and were lying on bed . Pulling the darkened curtain to make a room for themselves alone . Reading a book inside while dozing off . There would be something for them to think of, but it became quiet .
During that time, the curtain of a bed opened slowly so as not to make noise .
It's Kagerou .
She carefully got off from her bed .
Keeping her breath small, keeping it quiet on the verge of stopping her breath .
Walking carefully to not make footsteps .
She looked back with a glance . Satsuki seemed to have been training her muscle just now, but now it's quiet . Quietly, she opened the window and went to outside .
Nobody is here . If those with weekly duty of patrolling were bribed with canned peaches, if it's enough, they wouldn't come . During that time, if I want to wear the equipment then I must head to the port by then .
She hurried herself and speed up her feet .
Suddenly, she heard a voice .

"Where are you going?"

"Hyaaa!"

Ushio has a cold expression behind her . Kagerou jumped up with surprise .

"W-w-why . . . you're . . . !"

Ushio were staring with scornful eyes .

"I intended to keep quiet, but immediately I noticed something . Where are you intending to go?"

"Nah . . . even if you ask where . . . " 

Kagerou became puzzled . Ushio brought her face closer .

"So you're going to help Akebono-chan, aren't you?"

"Eh . . . "
"Isn't it?"

Giving up, Kagerou nodded .

" . . . . . . Yeah . "

"After your heard about Akebono-chan circumstances, did you sympathyzed with her?"
"There's also that, but as expected, that girl isn't a destroyer . She's a friend, isn't she?"
Awkwardly, Kagerou laughed .
"Akebono is an uncooperative girl who has a bad mouth and it can't be helped, but she went to help the fleet . I thought, 'She is definetely a destroyer at heart', so that's why she's one of us . A precious friend . I have to help my friends . "
She furthermore said, "As Ushio has said, if you don't help quickly, Akebono may be sunk . However this is a violation . I can't afford to involve everyone . At least myself alone . . . "
"I will go too . "
Ushio said clearly . Involuntarily, Kagerou replied .
"Didn't just you hear what I said? It's a violation . If it's exposed, you will go to the detention barracks, you know?"
"I am going to help Akebono-chan, whatever the violation . The first to said about to help her is me . "

"No, but . . . "
"Isn't Kagerou-san said by yourself, 'I will never abandon my friends'?"

Ushio looked very serious .

Kagerou opened and closed her mouth in an attempt to persuade her to change her mind . But she realized that any persuasion would be impossible . She nodded instead .
"I understand . "
"What did you understand?"
This time, not only Kagerou but Ushio also jumped up .

Behind them, Satsuki stood while grinning . Next to her was Nagatsuki . Then Arare .
"Ee, this two were going to help Akebono . I'm wondering if they will take us too?"
"Kagerou and Ushio just aren't being frank . You should speak to me . " Nagatsuki said .
"Go . . . Then help . . . Retreating is fine . . . And end it immediately . . . " Arare said .

At last, Kagerou was speechless, then looked at everyone's faces .

On contrary, there's no joking expression among them .

Ushio's usual timid expression has disappeared, and Satsuki's face was no longer laughing .

Nagatsuki showed the appearance of an old samurai, and Arare is . . . same as usual .

There's no question . Everyone's purpose was clear .

We will rescue our friend .

" . . . . . . Alright . "

Kagerou said to cheer up herself and everyone .

"Let's go together . We will help Akebono!"

'Yeah', those words were said quietly as not to be noticed by anyone else .
