Chapter 6 : First Gold
"......Yeah."
"After your heard about Akebono-chan circumstances, did you sympathyzed with her?"
"There's also that, but as expected, that girl isn't a destroyer. She's a friend, isn't she?"
Awkwardly, Kagerou laughed.
"Akebono is an uncooperative girl who has a bad mouth and it can't be helped, but she went to help the fleet. I thought, 'She is definetely a destroyer at heart', so that's why she's one of us. A precious friend. I have to help my friends."
She furthermore said, "As Ushio has said, if you don't help quickly, Akebono may be sunk. However this is a violation. I can't afford to involve everyone. At least myself alone..."
"I will go too."
Ushio said clearly. Involuntarily, Kagerou replied.
"Didn't just you hear what I said? It's a violation. If it's exposed, you will go to the detention barracks, you know?"
"I am going to help Akebono-chan, whatever the violation. The first to said about to help her is me."
Kagerou opened and closed her mouth in an attempt to persuade her to change her mind. But she realized that any persuasion would be impossible. She nodded instead.
"I understand."
"What did you understand?"
This time, not only Kagerou but Ushio also jumped up.
Behind them, Satsuki stood while grinning. Next to her was Nagatsuki. Then Arare.
"Ee, this two were going to help Akebono. I'm wondering if they will take us too?"
"Kagerou and Ushio just aren't being frank. You should speak to me." Nagatsuki said.
"Go...Then help...Retreating is fine...And end it immediately..." Arare said.
At last, Kagerou was speechless, then looked at everyone's faces.
On contrary, there's no joking expression among them.
Ushio's usual timid expression has disappeared, and Satsuki's face was no longer laughing.
Nagatsuki showed the appearance of an old samurai, and Arare is... same as usual.
There's no question. Everyone's purpose was clear.
We will rescue our friend.
"......Alright."
Kagerou said to cheer up herself and everyone.
"Let's go together. We will help Akebono!"
'Yeah', those words were said quietly as not to be noticed by anyone else.
