User blog:Mystia Lore./The earliest days - A new adventure is about to start

The arrival - 1st day at the naval base
The sun was high in the cloudless sky, and yet the two guys still stand despite the intense heat. One of them fiddles his laptop frantically.

Myschin : Say, how many time we have to wait again ?

Suna : A long time ! Now I'm still searching a way to make it quicker !

Myschin : Man, this heat is killing me !

Suna : Wait a minute, I have something... ... ... Yes ! You're nominated to took command of a naval base !

Myschin : Finally... Wait, what are you doing ?!

Suna has took Myschin's hand to force his friend to follow him while he start running.

Suna : We have no time to spare ! If we can't reach the base within 5 minutes, you will have to wait again before getting another chance !

Myschin : How can you run so quickly with this heat ?!

Suna : Experience my friend ! I'm planning to go to the Comiket one day ! By the way, did you choice your Starter ship already ?

Myschin : I have, she might currently wait in the base now, but please slow down !

Suna : No way !

Meanwhile, in front of said naval base, a lone girl still waited nervously.

Inazuma : Awawawa ! I can't calm down-nanodesu ! The commander might be there in any second now...

Myschin : LOOK OUT !!

Surprised, Inazuma made a leap forward, just in time to avoid a collision with the falling-from-the-sky newly assigned admiral, who failed to land correctly.

Inazuma : Uwaaah, are you alright mister ?!

Myschin : Ouch, I think I am... Why did you throw me like that ?!

He yelled at Suna who came by walking

Suna : You made it just in time you know ? 5 seconds later and it would have been too late ! Trust my experience I say !

Inazuma : hmm, excuse me... Are you the new commander ?

Myschin : Ah yes... Yes I am.

Immediately, she perform a military salute.

Inazuma : Fourth ship of the Akatsuki-class Destroyers ! I'm Inazuma, I'll be in your care-nanodesu !

Myschin : Yes, pleased to meet you too Inazuma... Could you stop with the military formalities please ? It bothers me a little...

Inazuma : Y-Yes commander !

Suna : OK, now that you are the admiral of this naval base, follow me, we have little time to spare !

Again Suna grabbed Myschin's hand and force his friend to follow him. Inazuma followed them as best as she could. Inside the base, the three people meet a twin-tailed brown-haired little girl who was holding a white cat by its front legs.

Tutorial Musume : Hello and welcome in your brand new naval base !

Suna : It's poorly decorated as always...

Tutorial Musume : The Headquarters didn't allocate much money for that in the first place... Anyway admiral, here is your first task : Go to the construction dock and craft a new shipgirl !

Myschin : Okay...

At the construction dock...

Myschin : So, I have to choose the number of ressources I want to put in the recipe ?

Suna : Yes, you can put any amount of ressources in.

Myschin : Let's see... What ?! We only have 300 of each ressources ?!

Tutorial Musume : Well, we are currently in a time of crisis...

Suna : Whatever, just put some ressources in the Recipe and do the construction !

Myschin : ... Don't tell me we are in a hurry again ?

Suna : Unfortunately, yes we are. We need to complete some other paperworks and everything else.

Myschin : Come on, give me a break, I didn't even talk that much with Inazuma !

Suna : Just input your recipe !

Myschin : Ok, ok...

He decided to put 30 of each ressources in the recipe.

Myschin : Okay, now what ?

Suna : Launch the construction by pressing this button, then a timer will appear. It's show how much time is left until the construction is finished.

Myschin : OK... The timer indicate 1 hour...

Suna : Which mean you will get at least one Light Cruiser. Now we have to hurry.

Myschin : Wait a second please. Give me some times and then I'll follow you without complaining OK ?

Suna : As long as you do your thing quickly, okay.

Myschin : Thank you. Inazuma ? Come here please.

Inazuma : Yes commander... What do you want from me ?

Myschin : Can I ask you a favor ?

Inazuma : Y-Yes I suppose-nanodesu...

Myschin : I have to go and I can't bring you with me... So could you stay here while I'm out and wait until I'll return ? I'll make it as quick as possible...

Inazuma suddenly displays a sad face.

Inazuma : Does... Does it mean that you will never come back and left me here all alone-nanodesu ?

Myschin : Of course not ! I didn't went through all thoses formalities to abandon you just like that. But still I'm sorry for the situation... At least you have this Tutorial Musume here with you...

Tutorial Musume : I really don't have any other choice because you need to do 4 others tasks before taking full command of this base, admiral.

Inazuma : B-But still, I have heard scary stories about admirals who abandon their base.

Myschin : ... OK, hold your hands for a second.

Then the admiral gives something to the Destroyer.

Inazuma : Is that a... Card ?

Myschin : Not an ordinary card.

Myschin snap his fingers and the card suddenly transform into a shining green bird. Inazuma remain speechless.

Inazuma : Wha... What is that-nanodesu ? So pretty...

Myschin : You see, this little creature is called Birds of paradise. It's a rare specimen of bird that can only be found in foreigns worlds... This one in particular is the rarest I've never tamed. I lend it to you as a proof that I will return as soon as possible.

Inazuma : What ? But I don't know how to take care of it-nanodesu !

Myschin : Don't worry, you don't have to take care of it, it can survive without eating much longer than you think. If you really worry about it, just feed it with some seeds or bread, he will like it. Also, I'll give you something else.

Myschin gives a... Nintendo 3DS to Inazuma.

Inazuma : Hu ? You are a magician and you give me something like that-nanodesu ?

Myschin : We have to kill time with something sometimes... Anyway, I also give this to you so will not get bored over time.

Inazuma : But I'm really bad at video games-nanodesu...

Myschin : Don't worry, you can take your time to improve your skills * Wink *. Now excuse me Inazuma, but I have to go...I'll return quickly, I promise. I treasure this bird and my 3DS more than you can imagine, do you really think I'll just left thoses things here and never come back ?

Inazuma : OK, I'll wait commander... But will you get angry if I broke your 3DS without noticing it ?

Myschin : I'm a magician right ? Don't you think that I have put a magic spell on it in order to prevent accidents like that ?

Inazuma : Ah...

Suna : Myschiiin ! Please hurry !

Myschin : I'm coming ! Anyway, see you later Inazuma.

Inazuma : Have a safe trip-nanodesu.

The first comrades
2 days have passed until Myschin finally return to the naval base. Inazuma was sleeping in the entrance hall with Tutorial Musume. The admiral emit a light whistle to recall his bird, and Inazuma finally woke up.

Myschin : I'm back for good now... Good morning Inazuma.

Inazuma : Welcome back-nanodesu... AH ! I'm so sorry commander. For you to see me sleeping in such an embarassing place-nanodesu !

Myschin : Wait, don't you have a room somewhere in this naval base ?

Inazuma : There are some, but they are all locked and I didn't find the key...

Myschin : By any chance, did you just try to search a key in this base ?

Inazuma : ... No, because I didn't know if the commander would allow me to do so before he visit the whole place first-nanodesu.

The admiral sighed.

Myschin : Oh dear, I think I will have to establish some rules here... But before that...

Tutorial Musume : Yes, don't forget that I'm still here. In order to let you do the second task, you need to welcome the shipgirl who was built earlier.

Myschin : Crap, it has been 2 days now ! I hope she will not get angry !

The three of them immediately went to the construction dock, then the admiral opened the Recipe. A lot of smoke came out, then...

Kuma : Kumaa. Nice to meet you, kuma ! Although you took your time to open the Recipe kuma !

Myschin : Ah sorry, stuff happened... * That ahoge is freaking HUGE !! *

Kuma : Meh, I don't mind at all kuma !

Inazuma : Welcome in our naval base Kuma-san.

Kuma : I will be in your care kuma.

Then the admiral looked at Tutorial Musume.

Myschin : Now what ?

Tutorial Musume : Follow me to your office, here you will organise your first fleet.

The small group soon arrive in a large empty room where there was only 3 cardboards.

Tutorial Musume : This is your new office admiral !

Inazuma : So empty-nanodesu...

Kuma : I wonder if I can play with those cardboards kuma ?

Myschin : ... Suna was right when he said that the HQ don't allocate money for decorations... Wait, there is still a TV screen. I wonder why it is here ?

Tutorial Musume : I'll explain this later. Now you just have to annonce which shipgirls will join the first fleet.

Myschin : Ah hmmm... Then Inazuma as the flagship, and Kuma as the escort.

Inazuma : See how Inazuma is when she's serious !

Kuma : Kuma ! Setting off ! kuma !

Tutorial Musume : Good ! Now I can give you this !

The little girl gave a TV Remote Control to the admiral.

Myschin : Yes ? I suppose this is the remote for the screen here ?

Tutorial Musume : Please turn on the screen.

The admiral does so. Then a black-haired girl with glasses appears on the screen of the TV.

Ooyodo : Hello admiral. My name is Ooyodo. My role here is to assist you in your quests management.

Myschin : Wait a minute, aren't you suppose to be inside the naval base Ooyodo ?

Ooyodo : No, I'm not until you find me when you go out on mission.

Tutorial Musume : Anyway, you have completed your first quest : to have 2 ships in your main fleet.

Ooyodo : Yes, and as a reward for completing your first quest, we will assign a new girl to your base.

Myschin : And who is this girl I wonder ?

Ooyodo : It's Shirayuki. She will be there in few minutes, you can wait for her on the dock behind your office.

And soon after that, a boat from the Headquarters arrives at the dock, with a little brown-haired girl with short twin-tails on the deck.

Shirayuki : I'm Shirayuki. Thanks for having me. You can call me "Eternal third ship" if you want...

Myschin : Why I would do such a thing ? Welcome to our new naval base. We will take care of you.

Tutorial Musume : Good, now you can participate in your first mission ! You can send all of the 3 girls in if you want.

Myschin : Yes, I think that is a good idea, right Shirayuki ?

Shirayuki : If you say so... Everyone, let's do our best together.

Tutorial Musume : Do I need to explain what await you at this point ?

Myschin : No, I know what await us. A looong battle with the abyssal fleet...

The admiral sighed while watching the horizon that stretched out of sight above the sea.

Myschin : I just hope that I could find and help her soon...

Inazuma : Who are you talking about commander ?

Myschin : I'll explain after you come back. Good luck to you.

Inazuma : 1st Fleet, 1st Torpedo Squadron, sortie.

Tutorial Musume : You can follow their progress on the screen you know ?

Myschin : That's good to know. Let's watch this !

The admiral return to his office to watch the progress of the fleet. Soon, the 3 girls meet their first ennemy, a Destroyer I-class. Despite the fact that it was a battle of 3 VS 1, the I-class managed to deal some damages to Shirayuki. It was minor and the girl still can fight well.

Tutorial Musume : There is a microphone so you can speak to your shipgirls.

Myschin : Thank you. Let's try it... Hello there ? Anyone can hear me ?

Inazuma : Awawa commander it that you ?

Myschin : Yes, don't worry. I can watch the situation from my office. Shirayuki are you OK ?

Shirayuki : Yes commander ! It's minor damage so nothing to worry about.

Kuma : Wait a minute kuma, I spotted someone here kuma. It's a new shipgirl !

Inazuma, Kuma and Shirayuki went to meet a brown-haired girl with a ponytail who seemed to be lost.

Shikinami : I'm Shikinami. I'll be in your care. And I think I've lost my way.

Inazuma : Don't worry, we will lead you to our naval base after the end of the mission-nanodesu.

Shikinami : Oki doki, I'll follow you.

But then a laugh was heard by everyone

???? : Not so fast shipgirls ! Without us, you can't do anything on those seas !

Inazuma : Oh no, this voice...

Kuma : It's the devil incarnate !

Suddenly, 4 little girls with a huge compass appears out of nowhere.

Compass Girls : We are the almighty Compass Girls ! Our Great Artifact, the Compass will show you the way to the abyssal's lair !

The 4 shipgirls and even the admiral looking at them with an awful expression.

Myschin : Yeah yeah, I know that too, you are just the trolls of this world, doesn't you ?

Compass Girls : How dare you ! Nobody can insult us ! The Compass will deliver his judgement now !

Then the 4 little girls spin the Compass, who indicate soon... The North path.

Myschin : Wait ! The abyssal's lair is in the south !

Compass Girl : Silence ! There is also one in the north ! The Compass never lies !

Myschin : ... They took a point but still it's the wrong route.

Inazuma : We can't have any other choice-nanodesu...

Myschin : Fine, please be careful then !

Kuma : Don't worry about that kuma !

And then the fleet meet 2 Destroyer I-class. They managed to deal moderate damages to Inazuma and Shirayuki but the shipgirl win in the end.

Myschin : Good, now please come back to the base.

Inazuma : Wait a minute-nanodesu, we found someone else.

The fleet meet a black-haired girl with yellow eyes.

Mikazuki : You're a new fleet, right ? I'm Mikazuki. I hope you welcome me warmly into your fleet.

Inazuma : Yes we will, I'm sure the commander will be to see you.

In his office, the admiral was pensive.

Myschin : Mikazuki right ? A sister of Nagatsuki... Yes, I'm relieved.

Tutorial Musume : Alright, I only need to let you do one more task then you will take full command of this base.

Myschin : OK

The fleet soon return with their two new comrades.

Inazuma : It looks like the fleet has returned.

Myschin : Welcome back everyone.

Shikinami and Mikazuki intensely watched the admiral.

Myschin : Y-Yes ?

Shikinami : You're totally the kind of admiral that I like !

Myschin : Is that so ?

Mikazuki : Say admiral... Will you welcome me warmly in your fleet ?

Myschin : Of course I will, but before I think we had something else to do...

Tutorial Musume : Yes ! Here is your final task : you have to resupply your shipgirls !

Myschin : ... Wait what ?! I hope that you mean that I have to resupply them with ammo and fuel right ?!

Tutorial Musume : Ohoh, did you were thinking of something else ?

Myschin : Knowing your malice yes, I've watched Fate/Stay Night so I know.

Tutorial Musume : Tchh, you're right, but anyway, the amount of ressources needed to resupply your shipgirls is automatically calculated by some other fairies. The supply room is located in a room next to your office.

The admiral let Inazuma, Kuma and Shirayuki go into that room and they return soon after.

Tutorial Musume : Now my job here is done. I hope you will lead your shipgirls to a great destiny. Before I have to go, here are the keys you need : 2 of them for the repair docks, and thoses one are for the dormitory. Currently you can host 100 shipgirls here. If you want to expand the space and slots, or open more repair docks, you have to ask Akashi on the TV Screen. It's not free, just to say it. If you need anything else, just ask anyone on the screen, we will help you again.

Myschin : Thank you Tutorial Musume.

Tutorial Musume : It was my pleasure. I hope we will meet again. Until then, farewell.

And then the little girl who holding the cat left the base to return to the Headquarters.

Myschin : All right ladies. I will explain to you why did I choose to become an admiral and I will also settle some rules for explaining how this naval base will work for now. But just before that... Inazuma and Shirayuki, please go and take a good rest in the repair docks.
