I'm Souya. I was built as an ice-proof cargo ship. As an IJN special operations ship, I particiapted in many operations like Operation MI[3]. I was also deployed to that fierce battle in the Solomons[4]. I took on missions like surveying, landings and transporting. After the war, I repatriated everyone[5] before becoming a lighthouse tender... After an extensive remodel, I became an Antarctic research vessel and sailed those seas in the Showa era. |
| 耐氷型貨物船として生まれた、宗谷です。海軍特務艦として、MI作戦など様々な作戦参加。激戦のソロモン方面へも展開。測量や揚陸、輸送などの任務に付きました。戦後は皆さんの帰還、そして灯台補給船…さらに大改装され、南極観測船として、昭和と言う時代と、その海を駆け抜けました。 | |

| Secretary 2 Play |
"The Miraculous Ship"? Oh no, I'm not... That's just...[6] |
| 「奇跡の船」ですか？いえ、いえいえ…そんな… | |
| Secretary 2 Play |
"Guardian of the Seas"? ...No, that's not... I was just doing my job.[7] |
| 「海の守り神」ですか？…いえ、そんな…働くだけです。 | |
| Secretary 2 Play |
"The ship that makes the impossible, possible"? No, all I did was do the best I could.[8] |
| 「不可能可能にする船」？いえ、精一杯頑張るだけです。 | |
| Secretary 3 Play |
Yes, I worked very hard during the Showa era... I was originally ordered by foreigners[9] but... A lot of things happened and I was assigned to Yokosuka Naval Base[10]. I even went to that fierce battle in the Solomons. |
| はい、昭和と言うを時代を精一杯働きました…もともとは外国から発注されたんですが…色々あって、横須賀鎮守府所属となりました。激戦のソロモンにも行きました。 | |
| Secretary 3 Play |
Yes, I worked very hard during the Showa era... "The Santa Claus of the Sea"[11]? Oh no, no. But I'll carry anything you need. For all your sakes. |
| はい、昭和と言うを時代を精一杯働きました…「海のサンタクロース」？いえいえ。でも、運びますよ。皆さんのために。 | |
| Secretary 3 Play |
Yes, I worked very hard during the Showa era... Showa Station[12], ramming through the ice[13], blowing up the ice[14], going on so many Antarctic research expeditions... I remember everything fondly. This peaceful Odaiba[15] in the Reiwa era is also nice. |
| はい、昭和と言うを時代を精一杯働きました…昭和基地、チャージング、氷の爆破、幾多の南極観測隊…何もかも皆懐かしいですね。令和の時代の静かなお台場も、いいものです。 | |
| Idle Play |
That's right. I did surveys-in-force and landings at Saipan, Truk, Rabaul, and that fierce battle at the Solomon Islands. My home port was Yokosuka, but... I ended up going all over the place. Now that I think about it... It's probably a miracle that I made it back in one piece. |
| そうですね。サイパン、トラック、そしてラバウル、あの激戦のソロモン諸島で強行測量や揚陸なども行いました。母港は横須賀だったんですけど…色々なところに行きましたね。今考えると、無事に帰ってこれたんのは…たしかに奇跡かも。 | |
| Idle Play |
Being a lighthouse tender is an important job. I kept the lighthouses around the country running by delivering essentials and supplies to the lighthouse keepers. That's right, they called me a Pri[16]... I mean, the "Santa Claus of the Sea". It was important work. |
| 灯台補給船は大事な仕事でした。全国各地の大切な灯台を守る、灯台守の皆さんに、生活物資や補給物資を贈りしました。そうですね、ひ…いえ、海のサンタクロースっと呼ばれたこともありました。大切なお仕事でした。 | |
| Idle Play |
Charging? That's so nostalgic. I think I can still do it... It's called "Ramming" now? "Ice-Melting Deluge System"[17] ...That sounds so convenient... No, I'm fine. If worst comes to worst, I can just blow myself free... Huh? That's going overboard? |
| チャージング航行？懐かしい。まだ行けるかしら…今は、ラミング航行っていうの？融雪用散水装置？…便利なもがあるですね…いえ、大丈夫。最悪、爆破で進めば…えぇ？強引すぎます？ | |
| Secretary Married Play |
Are you tired, Capt... Sorry, I mean, Admiral? I'll get you some coffee. I don't have much but I have some delicious food. Would you like some? |

Umm, what's this? ...Are you serious? ...Really? ...Th-th-thank you very much. I'll treasure this. I really will! |
