Chapter 0 : Breaking News
22th January 2016. There is less than a month left until the one-year anniversary of the Admiral Ciel's commanding career. Normally, he's celebrating the Setsubun with his shipgirls, and indeed, he was mixed up with the sheningans of his fleet until just now. But then a sudden call come from the least expected caller...

Admiral Ciel : What is it? That was an inconvenient call, as you can hear just now. Intrepid Journalist X : Sorry, but this breaking news is way too urgent to be ignored. Admiral Ciel : Well, I'm already disappointed by the remodelling plan the other day. So what is this month's ranking rewards? Intrepid Journalist X: Hmhmhmm, don't go jaw dropping now. Cuz it is none other than the 16 inch Triple Gun Mount MK7.

(beat)

Admiral Ciel : (plugs a headphone jack into the phone) ...16 inch? Is that an Abyssal cannon or something? Intrepid Journalist X: Ah, you have that "I won't believe it" reaction. You have researched them before, right? The pride of the US Navy, that is. Admiral Ciel : (speaks with a whispering tone) ...the Iowa-class battleships. I would've hardly ever thought that anything remotely of Murican origins would appear in my command. Intrepid Journalist X: Exactly. It's quite a pandemonium out there. Many the admirals out there been talking about the possibility of their masters were reincarnated as shipgirls right about now. Admiral Ciel : So, can I get a visual of it? I won't be convinced by texts and voices alone, you know? Intrepid Journalist X: Allright, allright. But promise me that you'll give me an awesome reaction, okay? Admiral Ciel : You could do with 50% less teasing, could you not? Intrepid Journalist X: Geez, that's so very cold of you. That being said, here you go.

Admiral Ciel : ...Now I got myself a reminder against going at their bad side. Intrepid Journalist X: Feeling a bit of regret now for not pursuing the toplist, eh? Admiral Ciel : And what do you plan to achieve by using live voice calls? Telegrams would serve this news just fine, is it not? Intrepid Journalist X: Well, maybe just for you, I'll spill the beans to your entire fleet. It'll definitely be fun to see how the news unfolding in front of them. Admiral Ciel : I never thought you would need another "lesson" until now, now would we? (Meanwhile, on the other side of the door...) ??? : Lesson? What did he meant by that? (Unbecknownest to Admiral Ciel, he was tailed by one of his commands...) Intrepid Journalist X: That was just a joke. I'm honest. Really, you should lighten up your fleet a bit more, don't you think? Admiral Ciel : I have my own ways to command my fleet. That being said, if you would so much stir a... (suddenly hangs up the line)

Admiral Ciel : (after realized that there's someone behind the door) ! Who's there?!
