(Warning, this entry this time contains some Gratituous Italian so please do not mind me)

''Buongiorno-- I believe this will be my actual first time being given a highlight to write about the current operation our base is undertaking right now. Italia, reporting. ... Even though I'm mostly in charge of directing support fire for our front-lining girls... But, but, I guess I'll get my turn later... Aquila is so lucky, the Admiral treats her so nicely. In fact, out of all of us in the foreign capital ships circle, she gets to be made secretary a lot. Even during times off operations, she gets to do work. I guess eating less while being a capital ship of all things does help one get noticed...''

A-anyway, I suppose I should start talking about the operations now.

Commence Recross Operation
''Intel came in rather early, so we had a chance to check on what lies in wait for us in our first part of the operation. From images provided it seems we now have a miniature version of the usual Submarine Princess that's usually sent as an advance guard. According to Headquarters, this particular Abyssal Princess is called New Submarine Princess... on another note, she looks so cute! I would feel bad if I had to go out with the fleet to fight against her...''

"I... won't let you... go through..." (T/N: Rough translations I interpreted from her corresponding page, since her lines aren't translated there yet. Don't use these translation.)

"Eat this... in spades!"

"It hurts! ... Stop IT!"

"I'll... come again... IHIHIHIHIHIHIHI...."

Isuzu: "Sorry to interrupt your moment of getting enamored with cute appearances, Italia-san; but would you listen to what she was saying and run your comment by me again?" (cynical grin)

''I'm sorry... I'm sorry!! Anyway as we inched closer towards being able to finish her off (I still feel sorry for her, though) the enemy's air power was getting more intense every encounter, and surface enemies made it more difficult for everyone to safely track the Abyssal Princess so we exchanged Taiyou for Zuihou to concentrate on taking out more surface enemies and securing the airspace. We eventually managed to finish her off, but...''

"You'll see... another me... in another place... soon... IHIHIHIHIHIIIIII..."

Isuzu: "How about now?" (cynical grin)

''I get it, I get it!! Just don't run that by me again~!!!''

Crossing the Stebian Sea
''For this mission, Haruna leads the fleet towards the Stebian sea alongside Akagi. ... Speaking of Akagi I sometimes hear her murmuring things that sounded like, "Am I just plain not good enough...?" as I cross paths with her in the walkways. Maybe it was just my imagination, though.''

''To put it short, having to pit a fleet of six against an enemy Combined fleet is kind of pushing it... but that was the directive from the Headquarters. Being on the receiving end of a Combined Fleet counterattack while commanding a fleet of six including yourself would have to take a lot out of you if you want to make it through. But Haruna and  Akagi was amazing. I guess, on Haruna's part, the power of the ring really shows itself. Or maybe that was just placebo...?''

After several sorties which had us forced into unfortunate encounters against submarine ambushing us right before we make it to the enemy's main fleet, the Admiral soon grew sick of having to be done in like that.

Admiral: "I'm not going to have any more of this. Sendai, you're up."

Sendai: "He~hee. Well, you gotta promise me we'll night battle lots later on, okay?"

Admiral: (sighs) "Ask Haruna first."

Sendai: "Tch, I'd rather have you say 'yes' directly than having to ask her."

''N-night battles... with the Admiral!? Dio mio! I know the ladies in this base are kind of... forward... but hearing this kind of exchange directly... geez, I can feel my face turning hot. A-anyway! With Sendai in the fleet we finally managed to make our journey towards the main enemy fleet much easier.''

''And onwards towards the finisher of this mission... Akagi really showed her mettle here, not just once but twice. Haruna was also really impressed with that too I reckon. Come the mission debriefing later...''

Akagi: (smile)

Admiral: (sweating profusely)

Akagi: "A one-day date, shall we?" (smile)

Admiral: "Y-yes... understood."

''It goes without saying that Akagi spent the day being much more cheerful than her usual self. ... Maybe, someday, I'd like that kind of treat... just kidding.''
