You were involved in them all!?

If you stay silent, then you may still be saved.

Everything in balance... a naval base that produces such stellar results is simply a nuisance.

I have friends in high places - in politics!

There is no need for trifles like "human rights" for shipgirls!

...you...

YOU UTTER LITTLE SHIIIIIT!!

I have absolutely no desire for this war to ever end! Nay, having it end would be a problem!

This is the collective will of Imperial General Headquarters!

Don't just presume to speak for HQ!

Under the terms of the Shipgirl Treaty, the foreign ships' dorm is a zone that holds diplomatic immunity on par with that of an embassy.

If you're wanting the refugees handed over to you, then please follow the correct procedure and channels.

I was the liaison in all that.

It makes no difference how much power your friends hold within the nation.

Ahhh! Atlanta's abuse and cold stare... très bien!

This is nothing...!

If you were to barge into the dorm without permission, you'd cause an international incident!

...and that's how it is.

Vice-admiral... It's because you don't consider the hearts of the shipgirls... that's why it's like this.

He faked an incident to let Lycoris, who was imprisoned at HQ, escape; and then used her as a conduit to sell information of the inner workings of the military.

Sorry to bring this up so quickly, Katori, but could you tell me what that "ace up your sleeve" is?

So after all that, you're only fond of shipgirls for completely selfish reasons...?

Why would you go so far as to betray humanity itself!?

Abuse of diplomatic rights by Shipgirls... that this very situation is occurring is why we cannot grant Shipgirls human rights...

It would be wonderful if it never ended... don't you think so too!?

So that's why Katori had the whiff of the Abyss to her...

That's not...!!

Commander... as an Admiral, even you adore the shipgirls, no!

And during that time, perhaps the "ace in the sleeve" that Katori has will come into play, hmm?

Damn those foreign countries... Shipgirls... human rights... treating weapons like people...

The worst.

Why are you happy about that?

The foreign ships' dormitory...!?

...so that means... It can't be...!

pshwoo

The "shipgirls"--weapons in the shape of a girl! Having them fight those monsters under my orders... I love that game!!

Don't... don't be ridiculous! I'm a vice-admiral! A vice-admiral!

And to that effect, I shall wipe you all from the face of the earth!!

I don't care how you do it, Kuro Kirishima!

This war! Kancolle!!

Don't, Katori.

Why, it'd bring the war against the Abyssal fleet to a close far too early!

You see... I love it...

You have no need to hold anything back anymore!

...the vice-admiral has been in contact with the Abyssal fleet.

Some... some information way more dangerous than I imagined has just been revealed...

The incident at the Kobe Arsenal, the assault on the base by the I-class robots...

If Katori and the others really were nothing but weapons... then they wouldn't be betraying you, would they?

This war against the Abyssal fleet has already celebrated its seventh birthday!

And we can keep it going on and on! This utterly fruitless war!!
