You wanted to what!?It'd be for the best.But with more and more idiosyncratic shipgirls being posted, the problems on the base skyrocketed.No matter how good the battle results, the day where your supervisory responsibilities will be questioned is surely closing in.And at such time, I will have my position of Admiral stripped from me.Afterwards... I'm sure that the right man for the job, one who can command shipgirls personally, will take my place, It's a roundabout method and it does cause trouble for Nagato and the others, but...So... he's afraid of shipgirls getting injured or sunk as a result of his orders?And thus your hands-off policies giving the shipgirls free rein - that's due to your feelings of guilt over leaving the command of the fleet to them...Certainly seems like one aspect to it.Yeah... I just don't have what it takes to be a commanding officer, y'know...?Nor did I have the wherewithal to see those girls as either military personnel or weapons.You're going to tell me the reason as to why you're not involved in fleet management, just as I asked before.After all that, I headed to HQ, with the hope of them allowing me to resign as an Admiral.Even though you got into some heavy stuff there!As to what you're going to do for me...So?You actually remember the bargaining point from all the way from the start...?The point where Nagato's lot will no longer be able to manage it by themselves is fast approaching.Before my very eyes, I saw a shipgirl die....It was from before I came to the base.That's right.Combined Fleet's Flagship's CharismaUTTER DUMMKOPF!!!YOU...!I can't help but remember what happened to that girl.I was terrified, but I had no choice in the matter...But I... I just couldn't bring myself to send such young girls into the fields of battle so easily.And now whenever I give any of you commands...But!!Our battle results improved, and somehow I had been given all the credit for that as their superior officer.Whilst I was withdrawn from the Naval Base, Nagato performed magnificently as the interim Admiral!!It became increasingly obvious that they would never let me leave the Admiralty!!A lot of things happened after that, ending up in me being voluntold into the position of Admiral through the harassment of a former direct superior.
