THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
In the Sakura Empire Takao is training with a sword in a training field. She is standing with her eyes closed while gripping the handle of her sword.
When a wind blows several flower petals fall and when one of these petals falls in front of Takao she unsheathes her sword and cuts the petal in half effortlessly. She feels good about the result of her training.
CLAP! CLAP!
At that moment several applause resound and when Takao looks in the direction of the noise she can see Zuikaku who was watching Takao's training.
Zuikaku: I see that on holidays you continue training as always.
Takao: Ah, hello Zuikaku, welcome home, I'm glad you're doing well.
Zuikaku: Yes but I can't say that I did it well. Kaga scolded me because I let the enemy escape.
Takao: I see so you received Kaga's infamous scolding... (It's not surprising that Zuikaku is feeling down I'm aware that Kaga tends to go overboard when she reprimands her subordinates for mistakes) Well Zuikaku let's take a walk for a while.
Zuikaku: Yes.
Two friends walk along a path where there is a beautiful landscape then they pass by a beautiful lake and finally climb up some stone stairs that were built many centuries ago and finally they reach a very high cliff. From here you can see the entire capital city and the sea of the Sakura Empire without any problems.
Zuikaku: In the end we couldn't finish the task entrusted by Commanders Akagi and Kaga. We were fighting with all our might but in a moment of carelessness, we were attacked by a fleet of submarines and the enemy escaped... I can't just stay like this... I have to become stronger to be able to protect Shokaku and the others!
BREAD! Ouch!
At that moment Takao slapped Zuikaku to cheer her up but it seems that she didn't measure her strength so the blow hurt Zuikaku. Zuikaku looks at Takao with a lot of displeasure and Takao is a little surprised.
Takao: I'm sorry... I may not have measured my strike correctly.
Zuikaku: Takao that hurt me a lot...
Takao: I'm sorry but the point I wanted to make is that you shouldn't assume the burdens alone you should also trust us, at least a little more.
Zuikaku: (Moved by Takao's words) Takao...
Takao: (friendly smile) We are colleagues aren't we?
Takao offers her hand to help Zuikaku get up and she accepts. Zuikaku already feels better.
Meanwhile at the Sakura Empire port Shiranui is reviewing the resources that arrived at the port for the construction of Orochi. However she is very upset because the girl who was supposed to do this job is Akashi and since she is not here Shiranui now has to work for both herself and Akashi.
