6 Invitation

Aoba already calms a bit and already show her usual smiles towards Uzuki, Yayoi, and Kimura. Together with that, they also start to talk about something else in order to make everything calmer. Until the system says,

"System to the Admiral. We already arrived at the dock."

Kimura then stands up and waiting for the order to docked his ship, especially which part of the dock that the ship will moor. After he gets the permission, he asked the system to move the ship at the designated location until it completely stable for all of them disembarks from the ship.

Right before they leave the command room, Kimura says,

"I will report it to the mechanic regarding your condition."

"Thank you very much, Kimura. Aoba really appreciate it," said Aoba

"Ah... I almost forget. Did you know that I will hold a small party at Ship Girl dormitory?"

"Aoba know about that from Uzuki and Yayoi. Both of them already invite Aoba to join the party."

"Then, I don't need to ask that again, right? But, please make sure that everything is alright first before you join all of us. Especially with that injury."

"Aoba know about it."

Aoba chuckles a bit and they start to walk together and leave the room. When they walking, Aoba remember something and asks,

"Wait a moment..."

"Huh? What is it, Aoba?" ask Kimura

"Did you just said that you will hold a small party at Ship Girl dormitory?"

"Yes, I am."

"Which dormitory?"

"Hmm... I remember that Sendai and Kiso said they will prepare the room at the Cruiser dormitory."

"Cruiser dormitory..."

"But, that doesn't mean the other Ship Girl couldn't join all of us."

"Aoba know about it. The problem is how will you go there? Aoba believes that quite hard for you to go there."

Kimura looks at Aoba for a while and then with a small smile, he says,

"It's a secret."

"Heeeee..."

"But, I believe you will find it out sooner or later."

"Alright... Alright..."

"And before that, I need to make sure one person to join all of us. His face quite stiff and scary, so I need to change his impression in front of the other Ship Girl," said Kimura as he thinking the way to bring that man with him

"Who did you mean by that?"

"That's a secret."

"A secret again."

Both of them then laughs and continues to walk towards the dock. Kimura then asks the mechanic to look after his Ship Girl that injured in the battle and command ship equipment. He then walks towards his superior to report his battle log for further inspection.

After he finished reporting the success, he also gets the report that Viltus' ship also already moored at the dock. He runs towards the ship and could see Viltus gives his report to the other Admiral regarding his finding on the battlefield. After he finished, Kimura walks towards him and says,

"Viltus!"

"Huh? Kimura? It's really rare to see you here after a mission. Usually, you will be wandering off around the base with your trusty camera," says Viltus

"Ahahahahaha... You know I just arrived here too."

Viltus only sighs and then says,

"I already hear it from Harusame, Yuudachi, and Shigure. Did Aoba alright? They said that the injury quite fatal."

"It's not something you need to concern as the injury isn't as bad as the first time I see it," said Kimura

"That's good to hear that. And I'm sorry about some missed information at the battlefield."

"That's alright, I know you already do your best."

Both of them smiles at each other and they start to walk towards the dormitory to take some rest. When they walk, Kimura then ask Viltus,

"Hey, Viltus."

"What is it, Kimura?" ask Viltus

"What about you join me at the party that I will hold this evening?"

"A party you said?"

"Yes."

"Did you know that we are prohibited to leave the dormitory after 1800 hours?"

"Hey, as long no one knows it everything will fine."

Viltus sighs once more after hearing what Kimura just says. He then says,

"This is the reason why they always punish you."

"Ahahahahahaha. So, will you join me?" ask Kimura again

Before Viltus could answer him, both Kimura and he feels someone pats their back. When they look behind, they could see Haruto stands there. He then asks Kimura,

"I hope you didn't cancel today party, Kimura."

"Of course not!"

"Good to hear that."

Both of them looks at Viltus and then Haruto ask Kimura,

"So, did Viltus accept your invitation?"

"Unfortunately, he still not sure yet," answer Kimura

"Who said that I'm not sure yet?" asked Viltus with an annoyed face

"Then what's your answer?" asked Haruto

"My answer is no," answer Viltus

"Oh come on. Please join us, Viltus. If you join this time you could reject the other party," asked Kimura

"Still no."

"We have booze there. A lot of it. So, please join us."

Viltus suddenly stops and looks at Kimura and Haruto that begging him to join them at the party. After a lot of begging, he says,

"Alright. Alright! I will join all of you, but I will not bail both of you if a problem occurs."

Kimura and Haruto then clapping their hand to show that their plan is a success. Before Kimura says anything, Viltus asks,

"So, who will join us? Are Takagi and Megumi also joining that party?"

"No."

"Huh? Then who will join that party."

"Ship Girls," said Haruto

"Huh? Ship Girls?!" answer Viltus with a surprised face

"And the location of that party is..." said Haruto

"At the Ship Girl dormitory." continues Kimura
