Kagerou, Batsubyoushimasu! Volume 1 Chapter 7 : Second Gold

Part 3

In the dock where the Fleet Girls Exclusive Injury and Sickness Medical Treatment Facility was located. Kagerou and the rest gathered inside a patient room that has a 'Spring' written on it.
The owner of this room was Akebono. Kagerou and the rest were coming to visit her.

"Aren't you bored by coming and seeing only my face day after day?"

At Akebono's remark, Kagerou replied with a friendly grin.

"I'm not bored at all. Because you're cute."

"Hmph. Stuuupid," she said that while her face turning red.

The patient room was cramped with bouquets and fruits.
Some were sent from the convoy who was rescued, battleships, cruisers, and even from aircraft carrier girls.

Most visit from another Destroyer Division came with a message card. 'Good luck for entering the dock! Get well soon!' 'Proud for your perseverance!' 'In the commemoration of the heavily damaged. Dedicated to the heroic destroyer.' And so on, such were written, they sensed the destroyers peculiar affection.

A brave Fleet Girl was always respected.
Akebono was the same.

Kagerou looked around.

"Akebono is appealing than I thought."

"There's no such thing. If you really thought about it seriously, you shouldn't use the instant bucket repair, right?"

"Because we want to make Akebono rest with ease."

"I thought that it's decided that everyone would be disappointed because I didn't sink."

Akebono looked away to hide her embarrassment.

"I don't think so..."

At that remark, Akebono turned her face more and more.

"That's a stupid thing to do. You guys who are coming to chase me also an idiot."

"If we weren't idiot we wouldn't save Akebono..."

"You can say something like that now, eh? Destroyer somehow really are just twisted and bad-mouthed."

While she was laughing, everyone looked at her.

"By the way, we are being asked 'What kind of battle was it? Tell us!' by the other destroyers."

Nagatsuki coughed to clear her throat and said.

"Which impression is good, I wonder? After all, I think it's good to mainly talk about Akebono's great efforts..."

"Don't do anything unnecessary. A foolish destroyer who fought alone and became tattered, if it become a laughingstock, isn't it fine?"

"That's a falsification. At any rate, we must be accurate about the facts."

“Don't be frank about the facts, what if we become a laughing material in a banquet?”

Shortly after that, Satsuki raised her hands.

"Yeah, yeah! I can imitate that time, you know?"

Satsuki lied on her back on the floor, then she kicked and strugled.

"Won't Kagerou and others will die!? I don't want everyone to die!"

"Huh!?"

Akebono, who should have been an injured person, jumped up.

"What does that mean!?"

Nagatsuki nodded while folding her arms.
 
"It's Akebono who said to lie down[1]. Because we can match everyone's memories, we can reproduce it very accurately. I think I want to show you something centered around this."

"Stop it!"

"This imitation, the feet movement is excellent."

Satsuki was still rattling on the floor. Her impression of a whimsical girl who's throwing a tantrum was, strangely, skillful.

"My beloved everyone is dead! Even though I loved them!"

"Did I say such a thing!?"

"It's something called an 'Entertainment' with some exaggeration, more or less."

Nagatsuki responded seriously. Ushio, while laughing, joined and took Satsuki's hands.

"Akebono-chan, can't you hear what you say?"

"Don't die! Don't die!"

"The way you grab Ushio's arms here is wonderful."

"Idiot!!"

When Akebono shouted while flushed red to the ears, she covered her head with the blanket. Kagerou and Arare were holding their sides while laughing and looking at the situation.

"Hey Akebono, from here it's the masterpiece."

"Annoying! This is why I hate to hang out with destroyers! They're idiot! Acting over-familiar! Start talking at once to companions and friends as well! At any rate... somehow I..."

A very-thin voice came from inside the blanket.

"Even so, thank you."

Those words, naturally was heard by everyone.

Note  [1] : A pun. Earlier, Akebono said 'laughing stock' (warai no neta). This time, Nagatsuki said 'to lie down' (neta o shiro) and can also read as 'to joke'
