Kagerou, Batsubyoushimasu! Volume 1 Chapter 7 : Second Gold

Part 2

Kagerou and the rest returned to Yokosuka port.
First, to land Akebono and took her straight to the dock. According to Kongou, "Because everything has become less crowded, you caaan be at ease," so she said.
 
They didn't receive any applause, but it's natural. Much less an orchestra performance. It didn't change the fact that they rushed out while violating order. However, the fleet girls came to see Kagerou by turns, and they were relieved, greatly nodded, and had a guts pose. [1]

The special exercises were canceled on the way, consequently, the ranking became unsettled.
Some fleet girls were relieved that they no longer had to call Atago "Big Sis".

After resting for a while, Kagerou and others were called before Atago.
Atago was waving the Equipment Utilization Permission written application that was being held in her hand.

"Your strange sincerity is your both merits and demerits. Thanks to this I was able to help you guys."

She caught a glimpse of the fluttering sheet of paper. Atago’s usual smiling and weird mood were the same, so it's somewhat really terrifying. Kagerou was sweating on her back.

"Ah, errr..."
 
"I went ahead to rescue because I noticed it earlier, however I also found that you all violated my order. If I didn't notice it, there wouldn't be any violation of order, but you guys would be scraps of ocean seaweed [2] by now."

"Yes..."

Kagerou cast her eyes downward.
Atago put the sheet of paper on the desk.

"Well, and then your treatment..."

"I will accept it," Kagerou immediately said.

"Because I am the lead ship of the 14th Destroyer Division, I have to take all of the responsibility. So, I will enter the detention barrack."

"No! I'm the one who said to help Akebono-chan! So, it's my responsibility!"

Ushio said and pushed Kagerou aside. Nagatsuki stepped forward as if to cover those two up.

"If you don't protect your companion, you can't say you're a fleet girl. I will bear all the blame, even dismantling or whatever as you want."

"Me me, I will enter it! Because I once wanted to go to the detention barrack!"

"...As for me... let alone detention barrack, even at prison, it's OK..."

Satsuki waved her arms, even Arare self-asserted herself.
Atago was making an expression that's saying 'This is troublesome.'

"Oh well, the original source of all of this was Akebono-san's unauthorized sortie, that's it... "

At that remark, all of them responded with the same line.

"Akebono has nothing to do with this!"

Atago's drooping eyes, drooped further.

"Geez..."

Kagerou straightened her back.

"Please punish us."

"...Oh well, you're under house arrest for a while. I will permit going in and out inside destroyer dormitories and the dock, but don't go anywhere aside from that."

"Yes. And then?"

"That's all."

Kagerou blinked her eyes at Atago remark.

"Errr... What about the detention barrack trial?"

"Do you want to get a trial?"

"N-No. For a such thing, certainly not."

"Well then, that's it."

Each one of the 14th DesDiv member were staring in puzzlement as it was. Atago gave them a warning.

"It's only this time. Next time if you do it again, I won't let you call me 'Big Sis' again."

Kagerou wanted to say something about it separately. Atago looked up with a glance at the wall clock.

"Well then, shall we go?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Looks like the people of the convoy fleet want to give a letter of thanks to the brave destroyer and the destroyer division where that destroyer belong. They said their gratitude again and again, you know?"

Then Atago grinned.

"You did well, right? After all, destroyers are our pride."

At that compliment, Kagerou barely kept it from jumping and rejoicing.

Note :  [1] 'Guts Ishimatsu' pose. He is a former boxing world champion from Kanumashi, Japan. The word comes from the peculiar pose he struck after winning fights, where he would pump his fist up and down in the air.

 [2] Metaphor, meaning death at sea, or simply, Atago meant "You would be dead by now."
