[x] Just enjoy yourself
Come to think of it... you're in Akihabara. Tokyo's mecca for all things nerdy. Why should you obsess over your Admiral's obsession with smooth, gleaming, and exposed hulls? This could be your last day of fun before you sink (again)! You need to have fun!
"Change of plans!" you whirl on Wo, "We're going to have fun today, Wo! Nothing but fun and entertainment! Today is going to be the best god damn day of our lives!"
Wo beams and nods. Excellent! Instead of searching for figurines, you instead spend have tons of fun enjoying things like...
Cat Cafes:
"Wo," Wo smiles happily as multiple kittens dangle off of her. You sit beside her, likewise charmed by the small felines currently laying on and against you. Oh, this is amazing!... and pricey. You can only afford another hour in here. But still!
Maid Cafes:
"Hello Master~" a young woman in a maid outfit greets you.
"Nope," you turn around, dragging Wo out of the place, "Not doing this."
Pachinko Parlors:
"OH GOD IT'S SO LOUD" you scream as the cacophonous din of the pachinko parlor assaults your ears the moment you step through the door, "RETREAT WO RETREEAAAAT"
Gun Cafes:
"Huh," you stare at the rack of BB guns, "I guess getting to use hyper-realistic guns is kind of a novelty in Japan."
"Yes... flagship," Wo nods, "I read... strict gun laws..."
"Welp, we paid for this," you heft a BB tommy gun, "Bet I can outshoot you, Carrier."
You challenge Wo to a competition...
You lose.
Arcades:
Arcades in America are failing establishments, hanging on by the skin of their teeth.
In Japan, however, they are meccas. Amazing community entertainment centers. They are bigger, better, and so much different than American arcades.
Button-mashing, however, is universal in nature.
"GAAAAAHHHHHH" you shout at the screen as you spam a single attack at Wo... who counters and knocks your character out. She smiles happily. How is she doing this?! If she's Hornet, well, weren't arcades after her time?! Seriously!!! You've actually practiced arcade fighting games, how is she so good at this?!
As the sun sets, the two of you wait for the train like the rest of the commuters, and you sigh. Wo bested you at everything... but you had fun. This was good. A last bit of enjoyment before you shuffle off the mortal coil.
The train pulls into the station, and you step forward, only for Wo to stop you.
"Hm?" you look back to your pseudo-Abyssal friend, "What is it, Wo?"
"Flagship... after we win..." she smiles fondly at you, "let's come here... again..."
That's... That's right. You don't have to die. You can still win and come back.
A pipe dream, but... you want dearly for it to come true.
"Yeah," you take Wo's hand as the two of you board the crowded train, "Let's come here again, Wo."
The doors close, and the train lurches out of the station, towards the base.
Towards the end...
Wo sleeps soundly in your room. As for yourself, you sit silently at your desk, the lamp upon it the only source of light in the room. A sheet of paper lies on the surface, blank. A pen is in your hand.
Do warships get wills? You admit, you don't have much personal property as you're technically property yourself, but you do have some things you've collected over the course of your active career as a Shipgirl. Some books, clothes, memorabilia... If you do end up buying the farm this time, you want your stuff to go to...
