As Choko continued to return to the base with Effie, she found their two-person trip had grown as Shimakaze had lined up beside. "H-Hello Shimakaze." She replied, feeling a sad in her mind that her alone time had to end. The meek warship wasn't angry at the smaller ship though, as she was at no fault. It wasn't as if Choko had ever been able to state her feelings for the other heavy cruiser. The meek warship had no idea that the new ship, Bayern, was going to be attending, as she chose to never eavesdrop on her crush's messages. She then continued focus her attention on Effie after they arrived near the abandoned base, excited about the whale footage.
