[This is a story from when the Naval District was still young and experienced; a time when Hyuuga had yet to become an Aviation Battleship.]

>The construction of Battleship Hyuuga was just completed today.
>What kind of shipgirl is she?!
>Since you're sister ships, in terms of outer appearance she's quite like you.
>Personalitywise, though she only said a few words
>I got the impression
>that she was calm and serious.
>I brought her on a tour of the residence halls, so she should still be there.....of course, she'll be sharing a room with you.
>[Hyuuga...]
>Thanks
>[I want to meet her as soon as possible!]
>Hyuuga--...

>[Butt Naked.]
>You're Ise?
>W-why are you all naked?
>Who allowed ship hulls to be covered in wierd fabric?
>For now just put on some clothes!  Hurry up!
>What is this?
>It doesn't seem like it's watertight.  It'll be inconvenient to wear this kind of thing in battle.  >Don't take it off--
>Right now, Hyuuga
>is a girl, you know.
>Girl...?

>That night--
>Hyuuga--
>Hyuuga!
>Where are you?
>Ise, what's going on?
>Today my sister arrived, but she just vanished right after...
>[Could she have gotten lost in the Naval District?]
>Oh!  In that case
>I feel like she's probably at the dock.
>Eh...
>She's really there!
>What are you doing here...

>Sitting at Anchor
>You can't be thinking of spending the night out here?!  You're supposed to rest in the dorm.
>But my heart cannot be calmed if I cannot see the ocean.
>Whatever, let's go back!
>>[\Guu..../]
>[eh] You still haven't eaten?
>Ise
>I want to drain...(note: "pump out bilgewater" may be a better way to show Hyuuga is relating this to ship terms)
>[uncomfortable...]
>[uwaahh--]
>You can't do it here!!
>[Apart from fuel, it's also necessary to consume other energy sources]
>[Bathhouses, toilets...there's too many necessary facilities.]
>[This body...is really annoying.]
>The futons are ready!

>This will be where Hyuuga will rest~ [hurry over--]
>More cloth...how could this silliness possibly rest my body?!
>Ise... >Once again, we're shouldering the burdens and fortunes of war.
>From here on out, we will face unknown battles of unknown difficulty.
 >Do you feel like that is enough?
>Mmm--....
>Of course, I'm sure there will be struggles and suffering and sad things...
>but, right now

>since I've met Hyuuga, I'm sure I'll be able to do my best!
>What about Hyuuga--have you been happy since you met me?
>Eh, she already fell alseep!!
>Y-you were the one who brought the topic up!
 >Lost to the Futon
>For what reason is the enemy attacking?
>What is waiting for us at the end of this war?
>Carrier group, launching!

>[And for what reason do I fight....?]
>Not bad...those wings of yours.
>Hey! Has Hyuuga gotten used to life here?
>Well/Maah/(Meh would actually be appropriate)....It's alright.
>That's great Dess!
>My sister hyuuga gets scared when she isn't at sea and gets landsick!
 >She doesn't wear clothes, can't take baths on her own...they sure are needy before they get used to their human bodies, huh--!
>Hmph--...
>Your sister's a dumbass.
>[double standard]
>Tell me, Kongou.  For what reason do we exist, here and now?
>I still don't really understand.
>Given the situation

>Why not
>just let my soul rest in the deep....
 >Hyuuga....
>I've already a cause to fight for.
>a cause that can only be pursued with this kind of body.
>[something only shipgirls can do?]
>Then what is it?!
>It is--
>Love dess!
>Love?
>It's that feeling when you really like someone that pushes us to be even stronger!

>Once Hyuuga falls in love too, she'll understand dess!
>[I see...if we are born as shipgirls]
 >[then we should strive to do things only shipgirls can do.]
>Ah, but, the Admiral is already mine, so loving the admiral is a big No!
>[I understand.]
>[What should I do when I fall in love?]
>There are many rivals here.  If you don't get your target's attention, you can never attain victory--
>So take Hyuuga's "love (note: literally "like," but that doesn't really work in English)"
>and convey it allllllll you can!
>In order to love,
>I must find myself a target....

>The strongest person here, right...?
 >I'll check right now.
>Thanks.
>Normally, superheavy battleships Yamato and Musashi would e the strongest.
>But recently our naval district is still inexperienced, and many shipgirls have yet to assume duty.
>Here, the msot seasoned shipgirl is the aircraft carrier Akagi.
>Since it's easy for carriers to get MVP, her level is quite high.
>[Akagi...]
>Is that so.  I understand.
>You will suffice!!  (note: Hyuuga is the original statsfag)
>To study up on one's comrades...what a hardworking person!

>I'm late i'm late~
>You...you saw my panties, didn't you!  Please take responsibility desu yo (note: desu yo is implicitly added, suggesting Hyuuga is speaking unlike herself.)
>Owowow.... >Bread.....
>It's bread--!!
>Akagi-san....don't just randomly pick things up to eat.

>Since you were the one who crashed, please apologi....
>Ah....that way of running sure feels dated...
>[What the hell...]
>nom
>Heh, that should have left a dramatic first impression!
>[*Hyuuga, influenced by Shoujo manga]
>[And like that, Hyuuga's unique way of conveying her "Love" advanced unabated.]
>She put chrsyanthemums and incense in her gifts to me....
>[how scary....hopefully that chrysanthemum is the edible sort...]
>*Flowers and Smells Hyuuga likes
>Is she being bullied?
>It's Hyuuga again...she keeps on staring this way....
>[planning to act as a bodyguard]
>Hyuuga Ranbu (literally: Hyuuga's wild sword dance.  May be a reference to Token Rambo) has started!
>[Although it appears to have caused some side effects]
>What are you planning?

>What do you have against Akagi?
>How could I possible have a grudge against her?
>[\Ah, a mosquito/]
>Rather, I quite like her.
>Huh?!
 >I like Akagi's eyes <3
>Your words and expression don't match.
>But speaking of which...what do you like about Akagi?
 >She is the strongest here.
 >[So that's it...that person's strength can be understood by anyone]
>What else?
>[Hoho...]
 >That's it.
>If you really want to talk about something else....
>Well, I accidentally saw her picture.....
>[W...what...]
>There has to be somthing else!  Something about Akagi's charisma that has caught your heart.
>Her name's first in alphabetical order?  (Literally "in the 50 syllables" of japanese (teh Gojuon-zu), presumably, she's the first, but it fortunately works in English as well)

>I plan to
>continue conveying my love to Akagi.
>It's useless.
>Even if you do that kind of thing
>Akagi will just feel bothered.
>Bothered?  Why would she be annoyed by someone liking her?
>You speak nothing but empty words.
>If you really loved her
>And were seriously thinking about her
>You wouldn't be able to say those words.

>You still have not understood what love truly means.
>[What's going on?]
>It's a little different from what Kongo said.
 >So who is right?  Love....
>What in the world is love---

>You guys haven't fallen in love yet....
>I'm currently deeply in love.
>[sigh...]
>If you're going to write a love poem, could you do it in the privacy of a diary or some shit?  >I like Akagi.  >Is it okay to say something that important to us?
>[We're just some children passing by]
>What if we said it to Ikazuchi and company?!
>[Hawawa]
>It's fine, go and tell the others if you want.
>But...

>Except for Akagi.  You're not allowed to tell her.
>[To be unable to convey your deepest desires]
>[That is true love]
>Absolutely not!
>Does she want us to spread this...?
>\\what are you guys talking about?//
>Hyuuga is in love~!
 >And so
>This information nearly insantaneously spread all over the naval district...
>Hehh--so that's....
>How strange......
>I feel like everyone's looking at me......

>Is there something on my face? [a bit of bean paste or something]
>I'd lke to ask you guys a ltitle something.
 >Speak of the devil!
>[Eh....so it has to do with me?]
>Well, from just a moment ago, why has everyone been looking at me?
>Eh........about that.  Well......?
>Well, we're not allowed to tell you, no matter what [that's what everyone agreed]  >They're forbidden from telling me....
>Why?!
>I...did I do something really rude?  If it's about me palming some food once in a while or eating things off the floor, please forgive me...
>You didn't do anything wrong~ it's nothign like that~

>That Hyuuga, well....?
>[Hyuuga-san?!]
>oyoy, wasn't that hint kind of obvious?!
>[Ufufu <3]
>Ara, how silly of me
>Are you blocking me again, Hyuuga....?
>[What is this secret that cannot be told to me?]
>[Is it something that would make her uncomfortable if I found out?]
>[Could this be--][Ah!]
>[Mamiya's self-serve seconds tickets!!]
>[I want to give these to everyone...]
>[But please keep this secret from Akagi.....]
>[I understand.  Your secret is in my hands.]
>[I'm the only one not allowed to get seconds!]

>Hyuuga, listen--is it true you like Akagi?
>Has word spread that far already?
>Why didn't you ask me, your sister
>for advice?!
>To ask you....have you fallen in love?
>Sorry, no!
>Well--what do you like about Akagi?
>Everyone's asking me this....being the highest levels was the dealmaker.
>Also she's first in the 50 syllables and all.
>While that's quite like Hyuuga, is that really true love?
>When you meet, does your heart skip a beat, or your chest start to feel tight?
>No...nothing at all...isn't chest tightness a disease?
>That's why there's a saying that love is a type of sickness.

>Wishing to convey your love, and yet being unable....
>Chest constricting like a plague....
 >The more I want to know about it, the less I seem to understand what love is about.
 >Isn't that alright?
 >Hyuuga's been born as a shipgirl.
 >There will come a day when you find out someone you know you like, from the bottom of your heart.
>Is that really true?
>That'd be pretty nice.
>It is!
 >So, when that happens

>You'd better tell me first.
>Is it normal to make an agreement like this?
>mmm....why else would they let me be Hyuuga's older sister?
>Factory
>Hyuuga's worked hard to raise her level.
>Is this a shield?
>It's a flight deck.  You've been converted into an aviation battleship.
>After your conversion,
 >you'll have a new piece of equipment, this.
 >This is?

>Reconnaissance Seaplane
 >Zuiun
>My heart is suddenly beating fast
>My chest feels uncomfortable...my body, what's going on?!
>Hyuuga-san?!
>[Uuu....]
>Aww crap
>Akashi, did you reuse old scrap material again?!
 >[Ahaha]
>Was it obvious?
>It wasn't obvious!  What are we going to do!
>This is...

>This is Love....
>Hasn't Hyuuga become a little strange?
 >Hasn't she always been like this?
>We have to report to ise!
>Recently, my chest gets kind of tight whenever I think of Hyuuga.
>[Sigh]
>Muh ticket...
>Akagi, could it be....?!
>[--fin--]

[Postface]
>[Hi everyone, I'm takitaro.  This is a story about battleship Hyuuga.  After finding some old stories I used to think about, I made this Hyuuga doujin, but I've started to wodner whether just randomly making things like this is alright, and now I'm a little regretful.  Since everyone said that Battleship Hyuuga gives off a serious, experienced air, I took extra care not to show Hyuuga's BBV dorkiness.  As expected, it was hard.  (The Hyuuga on the cover is the complete BBV)
>[Although a warship can take human form, some immediately slide into the flow of it, while others have some trouble adjusting at first.  The destroyer children probably have an easier time adjusting, whereas the older and more seasoned battleships have a bit of a harder time in shipgirl form.  Of course, it's all my speculation.  It's basically just like learning English.  Buck naked Haruna or Kirishima must have given Kongou some trouble as well.  All this was probably due to the impact of the anime.  My reason for drawing kongo this time around was just that, because she's cute!!  Many of the side characters seen at the sides were also shown in the anime.]
>[Drawing these out-of-order stories makes me want to draw a story in which battleship hyuuga and BBV Hyuuga are in the same naval district.  Although this is the third story that stars Hyuuga as a main character, I'm thankful for everyoen staying with me until now!  Well then until next time!]
