Azur Lane: The Commander Who Dreams of Saving the World

Shipgirl:

I know I'm weak, nowhere near as strong as the veterans.

Every time I go into battle, he plays a game with me.

The rules are simple:

"Whoever opens the door first loses."

Before he leaves, he tells me he'll be standing quietly outside the door, watching my every move.

So I have to stay focused.

And yet, I always win.

He looks dejected and tells me I've won again.

So...

I absolutely won't lose this time, either. He'll give in, he'll just have to... open this door.

"It's just taking a little longer than usual this time, but that's all right."

I can wait forever.
