As the Tea room brimmed whit activity with the arrival of that day's happy hour, and the Neural Net live broadcast of that month's Sumo Tournament in the capital, a new pair of customers arrived at the shop.
Seeing the Tea room quite busy, the old looking Naval Forces officer called one of the workers of the establishment to the side, and asked a few things, while the lady accompanying him waited. Soon the waitress guided them to a recently vacated table, and brought up some tea for starters.
The two Naval officers sat down, and from their uniforms one could identify they were fleet officers. The older men was Commander Enomoto, who had recently been promoted to command of one of the Battlecruiser Kirishima operating in the 2nd Fleet. With him was Yuuka Nakazono, former bridge officer of Enomoto, which was promoted to commander of Enomoto's old destroyer Shimotsuki's command.
Enomoto ordered some food for them, and a couple of beers, while he kept listening to Nakazono's retelling of her latest events.
Enomoto: "Well, Takeda-class has difficulties in solo operations, so you shouldn't take it to heart the result as your own fault. You just lack tactical experience to see the dangers, that is all."
Yuuka:"But... transports, sir. For me to be ambushed by a transport raiding party. Our men were in a state of panic since they couldn't decide to reinforce the defenses, or boost the engines for the maneuvers. Those things were dancing all around us."
Enomoto: "Hai hai, I understand what has happened. Saa, let's put that in the past and enjoy some beers to pass the time, like usual." - he said with a faint smile.
