[preface (note: I have been using "forwards" and "afterwords" wrong this whole time, preface is the more appropriate one except for doujins with two writers such as Over QMR)]
>Hi everyone, I'm Takitaro (note: I just google translated it, original is 滝太郎).  This is the third doujin in the BBV series.  The last doujin was released last summer.  To be honest i feel like I should draw a little more, but I didn't want to use the "BBV~" moniker for doujins that only featured the Ise class, only featured the Fusou class or just didn't feature all four of the BBVs.
>This story stands on its own, so new readers need not know about any of the contents of previous doujins.  The tone of this doujin is relatively lighthearted, the kind where everyone gets into conflicts because of trivial things.  Since the kancolle anime's 6th episode was about making curry, I figured i wouldn't have anything to do with making curry this chapter.  Well then, see you in the postface.

>Sortie Assignment....
>[Sortie assignment - The two ships of the Nagato class and the two ships of the Fusou class are to form the "Second Squadron" and set sail as a four-battleship main fleet!  Please deploy a fleet centered around the 2nd Squadron into the curry sea and eliminate the enemy surface forces through repeated attacks! (note: Quest B31)
>With the Nagato-class...ehhhhhhhh!?
>[why...]
>Ara, we're going?
>W-ww-w--wWhat are we going to do, onee-sama?!
>(note: on top of the display case:) Assignment Overview
>It says we're going with the Nagato-class!
>They're part of the world's Biggu Seben!
>It's fine, Yamashiro....
>Deploying together with them....if I get taiha/severely damaged or have to retreat, it'll be all over!
>Mutsu is in the Nagato-class...
>She's just like us, an "unlucky ship!"

>Even though her luck is really low, she doesn't make people feel unlucky.
>She's cool and ladylike and she's strong on the inside, and she has a model's beauty... >I hate that....
>If my misfortune makes trouble for her...I'd rather just disappear...
>Yamashiro....
>You want to make friends with Mutsu, don't you?
>N....why would....I....
>Ohoho....you don't need to try to hide it!
>Soemone like me wanting to make friends with her...who do I think I am?  My misfortune's definitely going to infect her....
>Now now, don't be silly, you're my lovely little sister.  I'm sure you'll become good friends just fine.

>Thank you everyone for coming here.
>I'll be your colleague in the 2nd Squadron, Nagato
>I'm Mutsu.
>Pleased to meet you.
>I'll be in your care.
>Let's take care of each other, Yamashiro~<3
>Heeughghh

>W-ww-w-w-what am I going to do....I freaked out too much and now my hands are all sticky with sweat....
>There's no way I can shake her hand like this.
>[Whaa--...]
>Am I hated....
>Uwaooohhhhhhhh
>Yamashiro?
>Before we start the strategy meeting, I figured we should all get to know each other.  >This is our first time forming a unit with Aviation Battleships, after all.
>Thank you for your concern...this way we can relax a little as well.
>These are...my home-baked Financiers (Chinese translator's note: a French dessert, a cake made from almonds)
>Let's have a cup of tea or two and socialize a little, alright?
>I can smell the buttery aroma
>[delicious]

>Yamashiro, how does it taste?
>[Mutsu's handmade... F...F...Fanancier (note: she seems to be mispronouncing it)]
>[*Yamashiro is actually really happy]
>[what a scary expression...]
>[she doesn't look like she plans to eat the Financier at all...]
>She even hates cakes?  So is anything I make not okay?
>So she's really avoiding me....
>If you don't plan to eat it, give it to me!
>Well--... this
>Actually, we also prepared snacks as well... [please enjoy]
>Ara, what is it?
>Ahh!

>This Botamochi looks really good!
>[please enjoy!] I made this one.
>What's on the lower level then?
>[\\Delicious//]
>The second level was made by Yamashiro...
>Golden desserts.
>...I I don't know whether it's because my luck is bad, but the enemy always attacks me.  >Even when everyone is at light damage, I'll be the only one with heavy damage...that's normal for me...
>That's why I've had to retreat more than several times.

>I know I've brought everyone a lot of trouble...so I hope you all can eat this
>and forgive me even if I'm severely damaged!
>We can't take a gift like that!  And plus, that happens to everyone, don't worry about it too much
>I...am I that scary?
>This needs a bit more sugar.  [not sweet enough!]
>Nagato!
>Why did this happen...

>[Hyuuga...]
>Why...would they group up with the Nagato-class....
>I want to eat Botamochi too!
>[Ah, with Fusou and company...]
>Like the saying "Mochi made in a mochi shop is tastiest (note: I don't know if this expression even exists)" says, BBVs are best paired with BBVs!
>Hyuuga, could you be...
>Jealous?
>What are you talking about baking?
>I'm talking about Mochi (note: this is related to a term for jealousy in Japan, "やきもちを　やく"/Yakimochi o Yaku, which etymologically comes from  焼き餅 (yakimochi), baked Mochi).  The term means "Baking the Mochi," so Hyuuga thinks Ise is talking about baking.
>[Ohhh] I really was thinking about Mochi [and also Botamochi]
>As expected~ of course I know, I'm Hyuuga's onee-san after all~
>To begin with, how should we position the fleet?
>This operation with us four battleships....
>Ahhh, sorry...rather, two BBVs....
>It's fine, there's not a huge difference between battleships and BBVs, it's fine to consider them one and the same.

>Speaking of which, it appears that apart from the Fusou-class there's another class of BBVs. >If I recall correctly, they're called...hyuuga and Ise.
>Who are...those?
>Don't know them....we don't have relatives like that...
>Does that mean the Ise-class still hasn't remodeled yet?
>We still have two empty spaces in the fleet, we need to hurry up and figure out what to put there.
>If we have a standard carrier to wipe out the enemy destroyers, we'll have a much easier time.
>The problem is whether we can attract some high-level carriers to this kind of temporary fleet.
>Leave that kind of thing to me.

>The Aircraft Carriers
>I'll bring them here.
>Yamashiro...?
>Can you?
>Well then we'll leave it to you, Yamashiro.
>We'll meet again at three tomorrow, here, and we'll officially start the strategy meeting. It's a bit rushed...so we'll leave this to you.
 >Alright...
>Yamashiro...is this alright?
>Do you have someone you had in mind?

>No....I just wanted to look good in front of Mutsu and comapny....
>Ahhh...so it was the case after all.
>How are you going to pull this off by tomorrow?
>Gehhh
>We don't have any carriers among the shipgirls we're familiar with....
>If we greet them, will they be willing to come with us...
 >[(Shigure:) Just leave it to me!]
 >[(Mogami:) Sure, I'll help. ]
>[(Michishio:) Huhh?! Why me... ]
>[Let's go! ]
>[Why not bring me along? ]
 >Nooo!  We can't go with those guys!
>[Ahhhhhhhh] >Don't interrupt my train of thought!
 >Youse guys seem to be in a bit of trouble here (note: see later on, but it might be better to keep RJ's accent as I wrote it, or to make one of your own).

>If it's carriers, I know one or two.  Want me to ask around a little for ya?
>Could we trust you with that?
>But, uh~ to do sometin' like this
>I might need a little something for my services...
>...how about this
>Is this enough?
>Although the first layer's empty, the second layer....
>[This!! This!!] I'll make sure to call over Akagi or Kaga or Taihou--
 >Well then, for tomorrow's strategy meeting...
>Huh?  What's this?
>This is the Bento Hiei wanted me to give to Kongou.  It seems like there's curry inside.

>What is she thinking, putting curry into a multi-level Bento box?  [the curry sauce is just going to leak out]
>As expected of Hiei, what an idea full of vigor!
>Make sure Onee-sama eats it all!
>Fusou and Yamashiro and also
>That distinctive sihlouette...
>You...can I ask you something?
>What were you talking about with the Fusou-class?
>[What] do i look like someone who wud tell you free of charge?
>How brazen....hmph

>Don't you have sometin' nice over here?
>Well then, how about we exchange this for your information?
>Is she hungry?
>[is this alright?]
>I'll aplogize to Hiei afterwards...
>It seems like this second squadron is short two ships, and they need two standard carriers.
>So dose two asked me, RJ, wit all my contacts and all, to ask around... rather, to introduce to them a standard carrier!
>Their strategy meetin' starts tomorrow at 3 in the afternoon in the meeting room, so this is actually pretty urgent if ya know what I'm talkin' about
 >[but] this ain't got nuttin' to do with youse
>This is a huge problem!
>Why didn't they come to us with something as urgent as this?!

>The next day
>meeting room
>Why haven't they come yet?  It's clearly the agreed time...!
>I heard yesterday that one of the shipgirls got hospitalized after eating some curry.
>Do you two know something about it?
>Apparently, she reported that her sypmtoms were that "I'm pissin' water over here doc (note: "My piss is thinner than water" is what RJ says, but Yamashiro and FUsou recognize her from her accent, so it may be better that you keep the accent on this and RJ's previous words)"
>[Ey what's this, this is a real bento ain't it]
>[Curry?  Whatevuh, I'm starvin' here]
>[Eh...Setsuko?  (note: that's what it literally says, I don't know how that relates)]
>That accent...
>Onee-sama...isn't this RJ?
>Doesn't that mean that she didn't call over any carriers.... (note: in small text) Eh, sure, Kuroshio talks like that too, but with our luck it's best we don't keep our hopes up....
>What happened to all that enthusiasm yesterday?  What are we going to do now?!
>Sorry for the wait!

>Let's start the committee
>[Soo--rry] We had lunch, so we're a little late.
>Arara
>Whaaa?!
>Didn't you say you were going to bring carriers?
>Will the Admiral agree...
>to a fleet made only of Battleships?
>[Battleships...?]
>We are no ordinary battleships!
>We're Aviation Battleships!

>Well, then, let's decide who gets to be the flagship.
>Majority rules.
>Understood.
>Those who would like Nagato to lead, please raise your hands!
>I chose Nagato a long time ago!
>[Choosing Nagato isn't bad...]
>[but that's the same as always, so boring.]
>I was once the flagship of the combined fleet.  Leave it to me, everyone!
>[Nagato - 2 votes]
 >Well then, votes for Mutsu--
 >[Mutsu - 1 vote]
>[Fusou chose Nagato and Yamashiro chose Mutsu...?]

>[uwahh--you were willing to choose me~]
>I'm so happy <3
>If you're the flagship, we can all protect you....
>Even if you're at medium damage, we can continue to advance.
>Even if you
>Even if you EXPLODE
>I will still protect you [ohoho]
 >[She already brought up Explosions?!]
>I won't explode!!
>Well then, next up, votes for Fusou
>[Fusou - 0 votes]
 >When Yamashiro doesn't vote for me, this is what happens....
>Sorry, onee-sama, but just this time....
>[Here<3]
>[\\well then I'll vote for Yamashiro too!//]
>[Yamashiro - 1 vote]
>And here I thought Hyuuga would vote for me
>[Ise - 0 votes]
 >Lastly-- >Hyuuga

>[Here!!]x4
>[Hyuuga - 2 votes]
>Even if you bring out all the Hyuuga we built in LSC, you all still only count as one.
>Currently Nagato and Hyuuga are tied with the same amount of votes.  Next up we will commence the runoff
>Please wait
>Theres one thing I want to amke sure.
>Do you know how to use "Zuiun"?
>Zuiun?  Ahh...the recon planes?  Of course I can.
>As long as they're equipped, we can do double attacks in daytime....
>Zuiun doesn't just do that.  It can also do an Opening airstrike.
>[What?!]
>We're battleships, you know?!  We're not Carriers, how.....
>It's possible.
>Aviation Battleships can make the impossible possible.

>Nagato...you are very powerful.  One of the world's most powerful battleships.
>I will admit that.
>However...you do not have Zuiun.
>For you
>It is still far too early for you to use ZUiun.
>Zuiun...what in the world is it....
>So this is why Fusou and Yamashiro chose this kind of setup.  I see....
>Victory in the Curry Sea campaign lies within....
>Well then, we now begin the runoff vote.  Those in favor of making Nagato the flagship, please raise your hands.

>Eh....just me?
>Well then...next up, those in favor of Hyuuga.
>[\\mm, as expected!!//]
>Mm, in the end it was like this.
>Hyuuga's so cool!
>She seems really happy!
 >Here <3
>Well then, show us

>The true power of Aviation Battleships!
>Yamashiro...in the end, you figured that I was best suited to be a flagship, huh.
 >What's with you guys?  Why didn't you come to us at the start?
>Well, we didn't want ot trouble you...
>I only voted for you that time because Mutsu voted for you, Hyuuga.
>What?!
>You're so wierd, choosing the Nagato-class over fellow BBVs.  What do you like so much about someone who doesn't know how to use Zuiun like mutsu?!
>It's not like that!
>You keep mentioning m-m-mutsu!  I don't like her at all!
>Ara ara, that's just too bad.

>I...wanted to be good friends with Yamashiro too.  Is that not alright...?
>It's not alright!?  Of course not!
>It's not...not alright....ummm
>Blarf

>Sorry, my sister isn't very used to good things happening to her. So whenever something makes her happy
>She starts vomiting in happiness~
>Is that alright?  [in more ways than one]
>Zuiun...I can't wait to see it!
>Is that so....you know, isn't me being the flagship a great joy in itself?
>What?!  A 2BB4BBV setup?  Don't go squandering my resources like that!  Make a new lineup!
>This era requires a 4BBV2CAV Zuiun Squadron!
>In the end, the setup was rejected by the admiral.

[Postface]
>[That was the story of the aviation Battleships that never attacked the Curry Sea.  When this quest emerged, I was shocked to see that it was my favorite Nagato-class and Fusou-class...?!  And then I figured that I'd fill up the rest of the spaces with the Ise-class wwwwwww.   I racked my head on how I would honorably complete this quest.  In the end I was a little too stingy, and even now I have yet to complete that mission.  Recently I figured that since I wanted to use this setup that I wouldn't deploy until these shipgirls were properly trained, and as a result I accumulated a lot of incomplete quests.  They've all piled up...even though I want the reward so mcuh...!]
>[Yamashiro's worship of mutsu is my personal wish...because onee-sama always wishes that Yamashiro would make some exceptional friends who aren't the Ise-class they pretend to get along with.  When I wanted to draw the Ise-class I wanted to bring along Mogami and the Fusou-class and then write a story about the Nishimura Fleet.  Of course, I also wanted to draw a story about these four BBVs.  Well then, peace out!]
>[Recently I had some really delicious Financier from a shrine, so the ones Mutsu made taste like that. - Takitaro]
