Spoiler: Being Mafuyu is Suffering pt3 (click to show/hide)

: Houshou-san! We're here!
: Oh, Akashi?
: Good Morning Akashi.
: Oh my, Mutsu? Shiranui? What brings you here so early?
: Houshou-san asked us to come out here, something about training with Mafuyu.
: It's a few minutes past the appointed time, but Houshou-san has yet to appear.
: It's unusual for her to be late... I wonder what she's planning.
: By the way, where is Mafuyu?
: Huh? She was right behind me!
: I see her, see the figure trying to open the porta-potty door?
: So that's why Houshou-san asked us to lock it!
: Mafuyu-chan! You wet yourself several times during reconstruction, so I'm sure there's no reason you need to use the restroom again!
: Ah... Akashi's "high-speed reconstruction".
: That poor girl...
: Is it really okay for her to be moving?
: Side effects were pretty mild: Uncontrollable sobbing, screaming, and loss of bilge port control.
: C'mon now! This is no time to be dragging your feet!
: "Mild" she says.
: When I underwent high-speed reconstruction I was bedridden for a week...
: ...
: Are you quite sure she's alright?
: I don't know, the screaming and loss of bilge port control stopped after treatment; the sobbing should've stopped then too.
: Should we tell her?
: I think anything we say would only have the opposite effect. I say we leave it as it is.
: Agreed.
: I see that you're all here.
: Ah! Houshou-san!
: My apologies, the preparations took longer than I originally anticipated, but now that we're all here we can start.
: Mafuyu-chan?
: ...
: Mafuyu-chan? One should answer properly when addressed.
: ...

*FWIP*

*SPAK*

: Unacceptable.
: I see that Ryuujou's training was sorely inadequate. I will have to discuss this with her later.
: H-Houshou-san why-
: Be Silent.
: ...
: The base has done all it can to prepare you for your duties, but from where I stand I see you have a long way to go.
: Three hours until breakfast. Time is short...
: That's why. For the sake of your future. For the sake of your fleet. And for the sake of your own health and security...
: We are beginning your intensive training effective immediately! Mother knows best: fall in line and no back-talk!
: Err. B-
: Where's my "Yes Ma'am!"!?
: Y-Yes Ma'am!




: Is Mafuyu's equipment really up to this?
: It's diamond-weave, but this is Houshou-san we're talking about...
: There might not be anything left of Mafuyu if it doesn't!







: We'll be focusing on the basics of motherhood*: Cooking, Cleaning, and Childcare. We're going to drill and drill until you're drilled dry understand?!
: But what does that have to do wi-
*The Kanji for Aircraft Carrier literally reads "Aircraft Mother Ship"

*CRASH*

: Ear- Earthquake?!
: No, it came from Houshou-san!




: What did I say about back-talk?
: Yes Ma'am!



: First is Cooking! The basic of all basics!
: The tenets of family cooking are as follows:
: Quantity! You must be prepared to fill your family's bellies as well those of guests, invited or otherwise!
: Time! Hunger can strike at any time, thus you must be prepared to counterattack as swiftly as possible!
: Presentation! For children, being interested in the food is as important as eating it!
: Taste! The enemy that is bland and overseasoned food looms over us! Serving that enemy is treason! Treason deserves nothing less than death!
: Nutrition! Calcium for bones, Vitamin A for eyes, B2 for growth, Glocomannan, Phosphorous, Potassium, Unsaturated Fatty Acids, and for girls, Iron!
: Cost! All of this must be done with as little waste as possible!
: As a carrier, fuel must be mixed precisely, ammo be loaded promptly, morale of crew and pilots must be maintained, and launch and retrieval must also be done quickly and efficiently!
: One who cannot meet these tenets is a failure as a mothership!
: Where's my "Yes Ma'am!"!?
: Yes Ma'am!
: Akashi, Shiranui, Mutsu, may I ask you to be judge the taste?
: Happily!
: It'd be rude to refuse.
: We're rooting for you Mafuyu!
: Just remember that breakfast is coming soon afterwards, so don't spoil your next meal.
: Mafuyu, I have prepared a suitable station for you along with ingredients, your task is to prepare a simple meal for these three. Begin!
: Ingredients, ingredients...Eggplant... Braised eggplants and bell pepper? Maybe miso-eggplant? But there's other vegetables here so maybe tempura?
: I haven't had noodles in awhile, so... fried noodles? No, tempura and fried noodles together might be too heavy; curry noodles? but wait there's buckweat noodles here too...
: Maybe I should just go with a one-pot-

*Cut*

*In*

*Attack!*

DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!!!
DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!!!
note: You can't actually do cut-in attacks with AA guns.

: Aaaaaaaaah!
: Too slow! Can't you even make a simple meal on time?! A mothership has no business dallying!
: First, boil the water! Then, cut the vegetables! Now!
: Yes Ma'am! Ah-

*Splash*
DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!!!
DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!!!

: Waaaaaaaah!
: Stop wasting water! Over the ocean, fresh water is life. If you spill water, you may as well be spilling your own blood!

*Chop* *Chop* *Chop* *Chop* *Chup*
DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!!!
DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!!!

: Waaaaaaaah!
: Your cutting is sloppy! If you don't cut the food in equal pieces they won't cook evenly!

*Sizzle*
DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!!!
DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!!!

: Waaaaaaaah!
: Why are you doing the frying first?! It'll be cold by the time the rest of the food is done!
: And where's my "Yes Ma'am!"!?
: Yes Ma'am!

*Later*

: That meal was... acceptable, now we move on to the next section.
: I thought it was actually pretty good.
: I think I found a piece of... something in mine.
: Oh that's... I think I can just sew that back on later.
: I thought I was going to die...
: Next is cleaning! Cleanliness is next to godliness!
: It falls on you to preserve the state of your household!
: But I already clean everyd-
: Naive! You've been lulled into a false sense of security.
: For example, Look at this room and tell me if it's clean!
: It looks clean...
: WRONG!

DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!!!
DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA!!!

: Waaaaaaaah!
: Look at that neglected corner! The dust accumulating in the corner of the windowsill! The trash swept under the furniture and ignored!
: Failing to properly clean after a meal will bring in ants! Failing to destroy any surviving enemies will draw in enemy reinforcements to you and your fleet!  As a carrier you must be able to spot these elements and sanitize them!
: Dust and dirt are not your only enemies! Fold and stack the bedding neatly! Line the cushions when not in use! Beat the rugs at least once a weak! Through proper maintenance and thorough examination, you'll be able to notice even the smallest of changes! The slightest disturbance in your surroundings may be a precursor to an enemy assault!
: Now begin!
: Yes Ma'am!

*swft swft swft swft swft swft swft swft swft*
*click! click! click! click!*

: Ah!
: Oh, it appears that I've run out of ammunition.
: Thank goodness...
: Mutsu, may I ask you to take over?
: Okay!
: Huh?!
: Listen Mafuyu, I like you and all, but I can't really say no to Houshou. So...

"It's nothing personal, okay?"

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

: Waaaaaah!
: If you don't keep cleaning I'll keep firing!
: I'm cleaning! I'm cleaning!
: And where's my "Yes Ma'am"?!
: Yes Ma'am!

*swft swft swft swft swft swft swft swft swft*

: Mutsu?
: Gotcha.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

: You're not sweeping properly! You're just pushing dust everywhere!
: Yes Ma'am!

*schlp* *splt* *splt* *shff* *shff* *schlp*

: Mutsu?

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

: Mopping the floor! You're supposed to be mopping the floor, not wetting the floor!
: Yes Ma'am!

*Later*

: ...
: Look, I'm really sorry alright? I haven't been able to let loose like that and forgot myself.
: And finally, Childcare!
: You must be able to plan for circumstances that will, by definition, be out of your control! However, no matter those circumstances, there are several things you can control! Only through proper discipline and proper planning can you survive those situations! Begin!

: What? How does this even work?! Why is one of the squads named "The Throbbing Shafts"?! Why does the help menu have a help menu?!
: This interface makes so little sense that it's scary!

*THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK*


*Obtained Drum Canister x 4*
note: Mafuyu only has 2 unlocked equipment slots, so technically she can only hold 2.
note kai:  Carriers can't actually equip drum canisters anyway.

: Wha! They're Heavy!
: Do you think you have time to stand around while planning?!
: But why do thes-
: The number one thing a mother needs is strength! Number two: Strength! Three, Four, and Five: STRENGTH! If you can't be called upon to run with your fleet on your back you have no business being called a carrier!
: Oh I remember... How nostalgic.
: Indeed, Houshou-san towed me back to base when my turbines were damaged.
: Houshou-san towed me back to base when her turbines were damaged.
: Shiranui, may I ask for your assistance?
: Understood.
: Mafuyu, as thanks for the meal this Shiranui will give her all!
: It's okay! It's fine if you don't!
: Torpedo Barrage, Empty the racks!

: And where's my "Yes Ma'am"?!
: Yes Ma'am!






: Uhh... Is it this thing that I'm supposed to choose?!
: Wait no! That menu thing made that other menu thing have slightly fewer things! Is that a good thing or a bad thing?!
: Hit any key? Which one is the "any key"?!
: Mafuyu-chan behind-

*squish*

: Oops.
: That looked like it hurt.
: This won't do at all, we still have more to practice.
: Akashi, may I ask that you assist me?

"Yes Ma'am!"






CRUNCHVRRWHIZZSLAMTHUNKCLANGBANGPOWBZZZTCRASH!!!





There was lots of practicing afterwards.

[uber pye]

I escaped! thank you Blaze!

Relivant to Mafuyu's predicament.

[Sirus]

Shipgirl training is ridiculous. Poor Mafuyu .__.

[IronyOwl]

Why does the help menu have a help menu?!

I'm not sure if this or the pink-haired yes ma'am was my favorite part.

[n9103]

Mafuyu-kun has experienced the Eldritch Horror.
Weep for her sanity, but prepare the aqua vitae.

Really, there's a giant leap in alcoholism among dwarfs following the day the military screens are covered in school.

[i2amroy]

Definitely fun to read.

That said I'm back in for Fault: Milestone One again.

[Shadowlord]

Definitely fun to read.

QFT

Poor Mafuyu!

I'll enter for Valkyria Chronicles again. ($19.99 still) (Edit: Withdrawn to vote)

[Sirus]

One last shot at Homeworld Remastered Collection on Steam.

[Bouchart]

I guess I'll take a shot at The Original Strife: Veteran Edition.  Steam $10.
