《Kantai Collection: Two Front War》Sink!

Kongou has reused her outfit from the first time the group as a whole went out, but since this was going to be a personal outing Jack was going to need an outfit besides his admiral's uniform.
"Nothing that I can't work through." Jack chuckles as he fishes through his closet and finds a good outfit. When Jack is finished changing he gazes into a mirror and admires his casual look: a simple button up paired with slacks, keeping his normal shoes and he completes this whole outfit with a navy trench coat. "Now I look good." Jack chuckles again as he heads outside the naval base and finds Kongou waiting for him.
"You shouldn't keep a lady waiting like that teitoku~" Kongou giggles. "It's all right, I would have taken more time honestly, but could you ever find an outfit that doesn't make you look like you just came out of the military?"
"I guess I just can't escape that style." Jack chuckles before they both burst out into laughter.
"So, where are we going?" Kongou asks.
"It's almost like western food but at the same time it's not, you'll understand when we get there." Jack replies, looking at his watch. "We can take our time, admire the sights, hopefully nobody will look at you weird."
"I decided to ditch the cannon for this one." Kongou says, showing that she has a more normal looking purse on her. "I have something a little more discreet."
"And what is that?" Jack asks.
"I may or may not have borrowed Haruna's pistol." Kongou replies sheepishly as she pulls out the pistol, the number clearly engraved on it.
"So wait does that actually fire shells or just normal bullets?" Jack asks. "I don't want you to have to pull it out and then suddenly you destroy an entire building with it. I'm sorry I never asked."

"It's essentially one of our main guns compacted into this little thing here." Kongou replies. "Sure it won't destroy an entire building but since we're shipgirls, and thus tougher, the bullets fly out just as fast."
"So I couldn't fire it?" Jack asks.
"You'd break your arms if you tried to shoot this thing teitoku, and if it hit your head with all that recoil I don't think you'd be able to think about much else." Kongou chuckles as she stashes the pistol in her purse and the two begin walking around. "Not that you'd need to anyway, you're already deadly enough to start!"
"I guess you make a point there." Jack laughs as Kongou joins in. Eventually the two reach a robata restaurant and as they head in they notice that the place is pretty packed and there are only two spots left. "Well lucky we are!"
"Yes you two are very lucky." The host chuckles. "Pay and those two spots will be yours for the night." Jack doesn't even want to risk losing those two spots so he quickly forks over some money and the two stroll over to the empty spots. The chefs are quick to notice the newcomers, as are a group of men that appear to be just a few years younger than the admiral.
"Hey, you look familiar!" One of the men says to Jack. "Aren't you the admiral of the Imperial Navy?"
"You could just me mistaking me, any ol' man, for that admiral!" Jack chuckles.
"Nice joke teito- I mean JACK." Kongou says, quickly catching herself, and with that the two begin enjoying some barbecued seafood, veggies, and whatever other crazy ideas both of them have in their minds.
"So, you with the lady here?" The chef chuckles as he skillfully tosses some barbecued crab onto Jack's plate.

"For sure DESS!" Kongou giggles.
"I think she speaks for herself." Jack chuckles and the chef laughs as he tosses some crab onto her plate.
"You two remind me of when I was young you know?" The chef chuckles. "I don't know if I can ever relive those good old days."
"Time flies you know?" Jack says as he and Kongou continue eating. As they eat though Jack notices Kongou shifting in her seat. "Hm? Something up?" He quietly asks.
"It's those guys." Kongou whispers. "They haven't stopped ogling me since we got here..." That's when both of them discreetly eye the group and sure enough they've been staring at Kongou for quite some time before Jack turns his head to face them, and they immediately look the other way.
"I know you were staring at her, and I don't think she likes it." Jack says sternly as they continue eating. Unfortunately the guys don't let up, and their shot glasses are being refilled every now and then. "Oh that's just great..." He mumbles as he and Kongou continue eating. Eventually Jack hears one of the guys get out of his seat and his footsteps get closer and closer until finally they stop. Just out of the corner of his eye Jack sees one of the young men start to reach for Kongou, and he intervenes with lightning speed, knocking the young man's arm away with a karate chop hard enough to make him shout in pain.
"OW!" The young man yells.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
