Chapter 3:
"Oh now how did I aim the turret or launch the planes, or even fire the turrets?"
"Hey Nusantara! What are you doing?"
Surprised there is someone else at the dock, I look back and yes there is someone there, but it's not Irian because she not tall and she probably a destroyer.
"Who?"
"What? I am Soerapati a Imam Bondjol class destroyer! Are you forgot or something?"
"Oh you Soerapati. So for your question yes I am, so I'm trying to figure out my rigging right now"
"Well just to imagine what you going to do! And get the hang of it! But didn't fire your gun! We are in low stock of ammunition so we need to reserve it!"
"What? we are in low reserve of ammunition?"
"Yes!"
I jump out and unequip my rigging on the jump to the platform ask get closer to her.
"How severe is our ammunition?"
"Well we can go to 4 or 5 fight against siren with our current fleet and the ammunition stock is gone!"
I surprised.
"I didn't expect it to be that severely..."
'I need to talk with Irian and changed the plan'
"Soerapati did you know where Irian is now?"
"Well she supposed to be at the cafeteria! Why you asking?"
"I need to talk to her a bit because I only heard about the ammunition stock now. Do you know where is the cafeteria?"
"Of course I know! I will guide you!"
"Thanks"
"No problem!"
Don't know the way I follow Soerapati to the cafeteria on the way there I also look around the path to get me there. There is a park not far from the dock, also not far from there exist an abandoned shopping district from the look of it.
'maybe because there no more merchant or supply shipgirls that can't get into this base that this place is abandoned...'
And then I finally arrived at the cafeteria and Irian is standing in the middle of crowd seems to be talking about something. I called her name out loud.
"Irian"
All of them including Irian sweep their attentions toward me, and there few seconds delay before Irian talked.
"What's is it Nusantara? As you know currently I trying to pick who to go"
"Cancel that's plan"
"Can I ask why?"
"Do you know that our ammunition stock is in low?"
"Yes I am"
"Then why didn't tell me that?!" frustration
Everyone look surprised by tone I just used and look at me a bit scared.
"sigh sorry let me say again what just I said in calmer tone... Why you didn't tell me about it firsthand?"
"I was about to tell you tomorrow"
"Change of plan, we all depart tomorrow, no objection. I'm tired of all this problem, I will take my leave as I need a rest. If any of you had others opinion tell me tomorrow morning if not then prepare for depart at 7 AM"
I get out of the cafeteria and decided to take a night walk one more time bit more slowly as I trying to calm my mind down and just enjoy the peaceful environment. Then without me knowing it's already midnight when I arrived at my room lying down and then reality kick in.
'Wait a minutes, I just transported into this world today right? Then how can I be this calm about everything and can make a judgment right on the spot? Is it god interference that I can do those or it just the habit or the mindset of this body? Talking about this body I never take a look at myself since I been here and now I just remembered that my voice is different by a lot. First of all my voice sound like children, now my height let me use you a bit wall, oh nevermind there a mirror right at the corner of my room'
I get up from my bed and get closer to the mirror and look at the reflection.
"yep definitely a child, around 150cm in height if I guess it correctly, long black hair, black eyes, and cute I guess"
And I look at certain part.
"And this will not grow and that is not there anymore... Guess I'm flat, wait why did I just get depressed by what I just said? Well whatever I need to sleep now or never"
I changed my clothes, jump to my bed and lying down. Searching for perfect position or pose to sleep which takes really long times before I can get into my slumber.
I opened my eyes to a red sea filled with destroyed siren and fire, and there is a person not far with her back facing me, short white hair wearing coat, on her left hand there is a bow and on right there a flight deck.
"Who are you?" I asked
"War... War never change... No matter the time..."
And then I wake up to real world.
"Well that's a weird dream"
Looking at the clock above the door on my room the clock is 5 AM.
"I have a bit of time, I shall wait in the dock for everyone else prepared to leave today"
Getting up of my bed and changed my clothes after that leave my room and walk to the dock.
"Nusantara"
"Oh Irian good morning"
"Good morning, Nusantara we didn't know the location of the base of interest, are you sure we can arrive there in few days?"
"I am, but for making sure we will sended few of our destroyers to scout ahead far from us"
"Well then"I and Irian talk a bit until we arrived and the dock and see a busy dock, there a shipgirls running from one end to another and it's now is already 6 AM.
We all decided to eat first before going as it will probably be a few days until we arrived at land. Which now I just remembered I didn't eat yesterday and only eat today, and wonder how I didn't get a stomach hurt but it's probably didn't matter for now to be thinking of. After eating we all standing on each ship, before set sail I said.
"We go to the North East direction, few destroyers I hope for you to scout ahead and if you find a unknown base or shipgirls, ask them what faction they belong to and make sure we are talking to either Royal Navy or Eagle Union. Now set sail!"
