"But I called you senior, and you responded, didn't I expect you to start using double standards when discussing age... You are so irresponsible, senior~"
"You white-haired chicken--!!"
"What's it called? Canines!!"
[Ahem… two, two guests, please calm down a little, meow. My small business cannot afford the consequences of firing a cannon, meow…]
Seeing that the two aircraft carriers finally shut up and stopped arguing, the profiteer wiped his cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. He really wanted to beat himself to death for deciding to create a paid program.
Why? Why does my brain have to be so smart?
Nagato just wanted the members of the Sakura Empire to live in harmony and suggested that the two of them talk it out. Why did he rush to take on the job?
They said things like "mediation programmes are widely watched" and "a TV station has been established for internal use in Hong Kong", and even came up with the lame excuse that "after watching the programmes, everyone will try to help with mediation".
The most outrageous thing was that Commander Su actually agreed to her proposal, asked Yubari to set up an internal TV station, and sponsored funds and equipment.
When seeing the signature on the document, Ming Miao admitted that he was extremely happy at that time.
Venue? You can just clear out the warehouse and use it for filming. It doesn’t cost any money.
Staff? Isn't Shiranui quite free? There's no need to adjust the angles of view for four or five cameras. Half are close-ups and half are panoramic views. Isn't it enough to just cut the pictures? It doesn't cost any money.
Post-production editing? That would be too much trouble. Live broadcast not only has more highlights and attracts the ship girls to pay to watch, but also saves the expense of hiring technical personnel, and it costs no money.
As for the original intention? What was that?
Anyway, the program requires a one-time payment to unlock the viewing. What does the content of the program have to do with her, an innocent host, after the payment is made? And there is no refund policy.
"No matter how you look at it, this deal is a sure win!" The unscrupulous businessman once thought.
But now, it took a lot of effort just to invite these two to the stage to perform. Shokaku was okay, just give him some performance fee, but Akagi said he didn't want to be on the same stage with Shokaku no matter what, and in the end it was the little commander who came forward to agree.
As the secretary ship, Amagi was busy with work and could not be a special guest. Nagato was too nervous and could not keep a straight face in front of the camera. Mingmiao had to ask around before finding someone who was willing to go on stage to mediate.
[Um…what does our gold medal mediator say? Will it be difficult?]
"Ah? They haven't even started talking yet, and I don't know how to judge the grudges. By the way, have you paid for the snack coupons for a year? I'm afraid you'll default on it."
The host Ming Miao was furious. He took out his notebook and wrote a few words crookedly. He tore it off neatly and handed it to Changdao, who was wearing a T-shirt with the words "Retirement First" printed on it.
"Take it, meow! Do it for me, meow!"
Nagashima glanced at the extremely sloppy [Snack Free Coupon] and happily put it away. "Wuhu~Okay, okay. Uh...well, how about Shokaku first? Why do you always quarrel with Akagi?"
"How could this be? Is there some misunderstanding? My relationship with my senior is actually pretty good, right, senior?"
Changdao pouted and complained, "Look, she ignored you, how could it be a misunderstanding? If you don't say anything, I will turn around and ask her. If I have a preconceived idea at that time, I might think it's your fault, okay?"
Shokaku was slightly annoyed and glared at the arrogant mediator, but Nagashima, who had the [Snack Coupon] in his pocket, glared back confidently, "Why? It was Nagato and Susu who ordered this. I have a backer, right? Any objection?"
"......Humph." Shokaku retracted his gaze and glanced at the camera. He remembered that he was now facing all the ship girls in the port area, so he had to restrain his emotions and said:
"...It's like this. I think she didn't live up to her responsibilities as a senior. She acted recklessly and childishly. All she could think about was insecticide and scratching people. As a junior, I just couldn't stand it."
Nagashima nodded pretentiously, "Hmm... well-founded and convincing."
Akagi flicked her tail and talisman papers came out, forming a large fox behind her, which glared fiercely at the mediator who was talking nonsense.
"I don't believe it, haha..." Nagashima knew that Akagi might really do something, so he quickly changed his words, not daring to pick on this tough guy, "Well, what do you think, Akagi?"
"Heh... Hasn't this girl been targeting me since I showed up? Every time I get along with the Commander, she always butts in. Now she's blaming me? She's turning the tables, huh?"
"Oh~ You're butting in... Why do I feel like something's not right?" Nagashima lifted up his shirt and scratched his belly in an ungraceful manner.
Shokaku immediately retorted, "Crouching outside the open-air bath and trying to peek, how can this be considered getting along? That's why I said she's not up to the task... For a senior like her, it's understandable that I say harsh things, right?"
(Da Feng, who was watching the show at home, immediately jumped up and down, "What's wrong with peeping? How can you look down on us peepers just because of this? You don't even dare to peep, and you still have the nerve to say you love her?!")
"Huh? How do you explain those sneaky photos of me in your album? Aren't you doing the same thing? You even uploaded them to the group. What right do you have to criticize me?!"
"I want to expose your evil deeds. If you don't produce evidence, you will definitely deny it, right? If you are a little thinner than the hair on a bald tail, I won't have to worry about it."
"It's grown! It's hairy!!"
"Oh... Is the hair growth agent effective for KanColle? Who endorses the brand? The one from [du ang~]? Then I'll have to prepare a few more boxes for you~"
[Well, wait a minute, don’t bring up off-site factors, meow.] The profiteer wiped his sweat, looking like a stingy person, [What should I do if they ask me for copyright fees, meow…]
Changdao, who had someone to back him up, found the fun in it instead. He immediately slammed the table and stood up, "Wait a minute! She peeked at the commander, and you took a picture of her. This is a vulgar one-way arrow love!!!"
Shokaku & Akagi: "Ahh!!!"

Chapter 807 Golden Mediation 2 (Part )
The unscrupulous businessman's show was very crude, with a makeshift stage, a piece of cloth as the backdrop, sofas moved in nearby, and even the questions were made up on the spot.
Such simple conditions are extremely perfunctory for TV broadcasting, but the ship girls who are in a dormant period have too much free time.
They are not as busy as Su Xin, who worries about interacting with strangers every day. When they are bored, they can watch a gossip show with acquaintances for a small fee. Of course they are happy to do so.
Rather than paying attention to the quality of the program itself, they care more about the guests on the show. This innate bonus of "my friend is on TV" makes them very excited, so the ratings are rising rapidly.
At this time, the host on the field was obviously immersed in the "clattering" sound of the money arriving in his sleeves and couldn't extricate himself.
[Drink hehehe…money, my money, money…so much money meow, send it meow~~]
The conflicting parties who were left out in the cold and the hastily invited mediator all cast their eyes towards her. Seeing that the host was lost in the ocean of prompt sounds, they had to bypass each other and start to play freely.
The mediator Changdao stood up and walked behind Ming Miao, snatched the microphone away, grabbed the other party by the back of the collar, and threw this profiteer to Shiranui in the temporary studio under the stage.
【Well, what…audience friends, let’s continue. 】
Changdao sat back in the middle seat between the enemies, thought for a moment, took out a carrier-based aircraft and slammed it onto the table. [Pah! Sheng-tang—]
"..........
....."
Seeing that the two aircraft carriers had no intention of cooperating, she had to dub for herself.
[Well, well, I just suddenly wanted to give it a try. Don’t mind me, don’t mind me. Where were we talking about…? Oh, right, a one-way relationship.]
"I think you need to think more carefully about your words." Shokaku's eyes were gentle, but his words were very direct. "I am not participating in the show for reconciliation. As for teasing... this is not a variety show, right?"
[Ahahaha… It’s definitely not a variety show, otherwise I would have let the two of you share a pocky stick right now.]
After saying this, Nagashima tried to ignore the vicious look from Akagi, swallowed his saliva and continued the process, [Well... the next one is the one that should be... uh, she didn't give me the script!]
[Then, how about a confrontation? Each person has one minute to describe the reason for the disagreement, and then the person will be replaced. The other party cannot interrupt during this time. ]
[Well... you guys should stop distorting the facts. I am the gossip group leader and I know a lot. If you lie, I will deprive you of the remaining speaking time. So who will go first?]
"...Why should I listen to you?" The fox stood up, not really wanting to cooperate.
Changdao had anticipated this, and immediately took out a non-commissioned officer's hat and put it on the table, puffing out his chest and saying, "I have a hat bestowed by the current emperor of Hong Kong. Seeing the hat is like seeing the person. Why don't you retreat quickly!"
Akagi pouted and sat back in her seat, not very impatient. The commander had already given out four rings, but she was still here, wasting time on some crappy show with her annoying juniors.
Shokaku thought it was interesting and was quite enthusiastic. "Well... shall I go first? After all, judging from the look on Senior's face, he'll probably need some time to think about how to arrange me~"
[Okay, then you go first, start the timing - eh? Doesn't this show have a clock effect? Tsk, wait for me to adjust it... Okay, start the timing!]
"I was born in a time when Sakura Empire was in urgent need of combat power. I used the most advanced design at the time to build it. It should have had unlimited possibilities. I didn't expect that my senior's hasty exit would put my sister and I under tremendous pressure."
"Even though the two of us fought hard and were seriously injured in the battle, we still couldn't get recognition from others and the evaluation we received was still not as good as that of our predecessors in the First Carrier Fighter."
"This is unfair. Are only those who leave the stage quickly and elegantly enough recognized by everyone? How much of the honor of the seniors is real and how much is fake? How much better is it than me and my sister who are carrying the burden forward?
[Stop! Time's up!] Nagashima resets the stopwatch on his phone, [Well, you can add punctuation marks next time. Although there are subtitles, it will be uncomfortable for the audience to hear you speak so fast... Uh, do we have subtitles?]
Shiranui sat in the makeshift studio, shaking her head at the interested Nagashima. What a joke! How could the boss be so stingy, and set up subtitles?
Besides, this is a live broadcast. If you really want subtitles, you might as well find a ship girl in the port area to be a translator. Using barrage translation will be more reliable.
Oh, there is no barrage function yet, so what are you doing here?
Nagashima was looking for trouble. He pouted and looked at the calm Akagi, "Then let's see what the other party has to say. The timer begins!
The camera gave a close-up, but time was clearly passing, but the fox with her legs crossed still looked calm, and the tip of her tail twitching made her look very comfortable, and she didn't even have the slightest intention of speaking.
If they don't cooperate, then the show won't be effective. S, who was just watching the show, immediately became anxious and urged: [Akagi? Don't you have anything to refute?]
"......Heh." Akagi crossed her chest and snorted, "She wants to blame the Akagi aircraft carrier from the First Carrier Battle in her previous life. What does it have to do with me, the ship girl Akagi?"
Shokaku was immediately furious, and Nagashima immediately grabbed the carrier-based aircraft and slammed it on the table, raising his eyebrows and exclaiming: [Oh my, what a great move!]
"What's so wonderful about that?" Shokaku frowned and retorted, then looked at the leisurely Akagi across from him, "Just think of me as being stingy and unable to forget those days in the past."
"But you, Senior, are actually using sophistry? My sister and I, who are still relatively inexperienced, were able to severely damage the Enterprise twice, and the famous First Fleet was defeated so easily?"
Facing the doubt, Akagi shook his ears and didn't care much, "Victory and defeat are common in the military. Besides, don't you think your performance was among the best in the world at that time?"
Xianghe smiled, "So, Senior, do you admit that you are not as good as me? Then I will -
"Five Carriers, as a junior, you should act like a junior... Otherwise, as a First Carrier, I will have no choice but to correct you."
Xianghe: (Xo日o)
Akagi: (Troubled√SevenX)
The two men confronted each other for a moment, neither willing to admit what the other said about themselves, and finally they could only turn their gazes to Nagashima who was watching the show.
Shokaku & Akagi: "Tell me! Whose problem is it?"
[Uh, I… I can’t do that. I’m just a host…]
"Hehe, but your position says [Specially Invited Mediator]. When my mentally retarded senior and I couldn't continue the conversation, you should have stepped in to break the deadlock," Shokaku corrected with a smile.
Akagi and the ferocious fox behind him also looked over, threatening: "I came here for the commander's sake. If you are useless...
[Ahem, well, at times like this, we have to apply for off-site assistance. Wait a minute, I'll check the contact person... ah, got it.]
【beep-】
【beep--】
[Hello? Nagashima? Are you talking about me as the off-field supporter? But I definitely support my sister. Although I don’t have such a deep obsession with my senior, my sister is a very good—]
"Zuihe! That's enough!" Shokaku shouted from a distance to the speakerphone, "Watch your words, everyone is listening."
[Drink? Ah… So I am also in the cast?! Uh… Hello everyone?]
Nagashima burst out laughing, thinking that Zuikaku was much cuter than the two ancestors on the field.
However, for the sake of the show's effect, she certainly hoped that Zuikaku would tell the truth, so Nagashima, who was the host, mediator, screenwriter, and director, made a gesture to the audience.
"Zuihe, everyone is listening, and everyone hopes that the port area can become peaceful. We are solving the problem now. Only if you reflect the true situation, we can find a way to help, right?"
[Uh... my sister will be angry, right?]
"It's okay. I asked you. You can't hear her voice now. That means she agrees that you can tell the truth."
Xianghe on the sofa frowned and shouted, only to find that his microphone had been cut off. It would be impolite to grab the phone in front of the whole Hong Kong area, so he had to take out his phone and start dialing.
Zuikaku on the other end believed it and immediately began to respond to Nagashima's questions.
[Why do you think my sister hates seniors so much? Uh... I don't think she hates them, right? In fact, I think she wants to get the attention of seniors... Is my sister really not angry?]
Nagashima glanced at the paper fox that pounced over and suppressed Shokaku, confirmed the camera with Shiranui, and made sure to give a close-up of Akagi who was sitting quietly with her chest crossed, and then began to talk nonsense.
"Oh, yes. If she gets angry, she will definitely come to grab the phone. Go on. Doesn't she usually want Akagi to be embarrassed? I heard that she kept a lot of photos?"
[…I heard? This is what you spread, right?]
"Ahahahaha, don't pay attention to these details, so is it true or false?"
[Embarrassing myself… counts as that, right? Because it was really hard back then. Every time we went out on an attack together, my sister was always the one who got hurt. She was also said to have average achievements, and I couldn’t find anyone to vent my anger to, so I had to hold it in. That’s why I got angry, right?]
[Actually, my sister is a very nice person, gentle and pretty, and her breasts are bigger than mine.]
"Well, let's get to the point. The destroyers will also watch this show, so try to avoid using those... uh... overly specific descriptions."
[Oh, sorry, I forgot you were filming. Anyway, she is a good sister, and she is not as bad to the senior as she looks. You see, last time the senior didn’t know how to put on makeup, the sister ran out early in the morning to help—]
"boom--!"
“Woo—!”
"Da da da!!!"
[Uh… what happened? Why is it so noisy all of a sudden?]
Nagashima ducked his head to avoid the fast-moving fighter jet, then grabbed the carrier-based plane on the table and detonated the bomb dropped by Shokaku, and signaled Shiranui to move the camera as close as possible to avoid including the battle scene in the film.
