A Small Promise

1. At a Certain Sortie
U-556: Hmmm ... it's been a while since I started patrolling, but I can't find any targets.
U-556: I haven't seen anything other than icebergs - not even whales, and I think the information is a little wrong after all
U-557: Even our Ace Submarine came back without Military gain sometimes. Whether or not we can find the target----- it depends on luck too, doesn't it.
U-556: Well, you mean it might have been my bad luck? Everyone in Ironblood are always saying I am lucky.
U-556: This is My First sortie! I can't go back without a Trophy for my Big sis Bismarck! mm-hmm...
U-557: Nah, It seems Luck is on our side today. Check sonar.
U-556: Where where!?
U-557: Target transport ship ahead, approaching at speed 040.
U-557: Prepare for diving.
U-556: This will be the the first hunt of the brilliant submarine Ritter(Knight), U-556!
U-556: OOOOHH! Somehow I'm getting hyped up!
U-557: Quite down-----it's time to go in and find out.
U-556: Yeah!(Whisper) U-556, diving.

2. The First Battle
U-556: Ehehe that was easy easy~
U-557: This was just a small transport fleet. And there were no anti-submarine escort ships either.
U-557: ....U-556 really is blessed with luck ...
U-556: Alright, I'm going to become an ace with performance like this, will get a Eichenlaub Ritterkreuz Badge and then I'll get complimented by Big Sis Bismarck!
U-556: Fufufufu ~
U-557: Not going to happen, because this transport fleet was only about 1000 tons...
U-556: A thousand tons! It-it was that much ...?
U-557: In fact it's a rather small amount ... all the seniors who became Aces have about 100,000 tons in their service history...
U-557: If you want to became the Ace of Aces, you may need as much as 200,000 tons ...
U-556: Ah..su-suddenly I feel as if the road to my goal became really long...
U-556: ………
U-556: But it's alright! The goddess of fortune is on my side!
U-556: The torpedoes I have remaining will be enough -I, 557- will do my best!

3.
U-556: Phew... We made it somehow. ehehe~.
U-557:Enemy fleets around this area are getting stronger... if we sink too many transport fleets then the enemy submarine hunters may come for us soon...
U-557: We are out of torpedoes, lets head back to port, shall we...?
U-556: mmm? Just now I caught a strange SOS signal..
U-557: Same here... though scrambled with the Ironblood cipher, I cannot confirm who sent the signal...
U-557: Strange... if our codes are already deciphered... but that cant be true...
U-556: And with such a timing, maybe something bad has happened to Big Sis Bismarck...?
U-556: I cannot just sit and wait! I am going to go check on her!
U-557: Wait 556, we are out of torpedoes, if this SOS signal is a trap we will be in serious trouble...
U-556: No way! I promised my Big Sis Bismarck! 557, go back to the port first without me!
U-557: ...if you insist. Be extra careful and dive as quickly as possible if you encounter the enemy.
U-556: Ehehe, don't worry! I have the Goddess of Fortune on my side!

1. とある出撃にて
U-556: ふう・・・出撃してだいぶ経ったのに、なんにも襲撃目標が見つからないなんて
U-556: 流氷以外はクジラさんすら見てないし、やっぱり情報がちょっと間違ってるんじゃないかな
U-557: エースでも手ぶらで帰ってくる時があるよ。目標が見つかるかどうかは・・・・・運だよね
U-556: えじゃああたしの運が悪いってこと?鉄血のみんながあたしは運がいいっていつも褒めてくれるのに
U-556: 初出撃で戦果がないと、ビスマルクのアネキに見せる顔がないよ!・・・むう・・・
U-557: ううん、どうやら今日はついているみたいよ。ほら、ソナーを見て
U-556: どこどこ!?
U-557: 前方に目標輸送艦、速度040で接近中
U-557: 潜航用意
U-556: これは華麗なる海底のリッター、U-556の初戦!
U-556: おおお!なんか盛り上がってさたよ!
U-557: 声が大きい・・・・・そろそろ潜らないと見つかっちゃうよ
U-556: うん!(小声)U-556.潜航かいし

2. 初戦果
U-556: えへへ楽勝楽勝~
U-557: 今のは小型の輸送艦隊よ。しかも対潜の護衛艦もいなかったし
U-557: ・・・U-556て本当に運に恵まれてるのね・・・
U-556: よし、このままエースになって、柏葉勲章も手に入れて、ビスマルクのアネキに褒めてもらうぞー!
U-556: ふふふふふ~
U-557: 無理だよ、今の輸送艦隊って千トンぐらいしかないから・・・
U-556: 千トン!そ、そんなに多いの・・・!?
U-557: むしろ少ないよ・・・カンレキ的にエースとなった先輩方はみんな10万トンぐらいかな・・
U-557: エースの中のエースになると20万トンは必要かも・・・
U-556: な、なんか目標が急にすっごい遠くなった気がする・・
U-556: ………
U-556: でも大丈夫!こっちには幸運の女神さまがついているからね!
U-556: 魚雷の残数も十分だし、557、もっと頑張ろうよ!

3.
U-556: ふぅ…なんとかなったね。えへへ～
U-557: この海域の敵も強くなってきたね…輸送艦隊がこうも沈められたら潜水艦狩りの艦隊がそろそろ来るかも…
U-557: 魚雷もなくなったし、もう母港に帰還しない…？
U-556: うん？今、変な救援信号を受信したけど…
U-557: こっちも…鉄血の暗号で暗号化されてたけど、発信者がわからない……
U-557: なんだろう…もし暗号が解読されてたら…まさかそんなわけ……
U-556: それにこのタイミング、もしかしてビスマルクのアネキに何かあったんじゃ…
U-556: こうしちゃいられない！様子を見てくる！
U-557: 556、待って…こっちの魚雷はもうないよ？この救援信号が罠だったら大変よ…？
U-556: ダメ！あたし、ビスマルクのアネキと約束したから！557は先に母港に戻ってて！
U-557: …じゃ、じゃあ絶対に気をつけてね？敵に出会ったらすぐ潜るのよ？
U-556: えへへ、大丈夫！こっちには幸運の女神さまがついているんだから！
