"There's the option of saying good work you idiot." Your retort gets you a smirk as a reply. "If you're telling me that I did good, then I would say I was doing my job. If you're saying I made a mistake, then I would correct you by saying i'm infantry. You start talking about what-if situations, I'd say they're relevant when it happens and I'd make my choices right then.
Seemingly missing word aside, I like this section. It really speaks to Browning's character: practical, intelligent, and a nice mix of humility and selfishness.

Okay, the Akagi is essentially full of supplies and personnel that they don't have room for an individual room for you. Bunking alone would suck but it's doable, the men's section has only Japanese men so yeah you can imagine, bunking with a girl saves space and has someone watch over you so you don't fuck up or get lost.

On the downside, we're an unmarried, military aged man in the same room as a teenage girl. 40's culture didn't take that too well, especially Imperial Japanese culture. Expect lots of DL gossip and the any hint of not being a perfect gentleman, if you catch my drift, to result in harsh extrajudicial punishment.

Houshou and Mio Sakamoto are unmarried. The implications aren't going away, just changing from cradle robbing to premarital sex and improper relations. However, by staying with Sakamoto, a woman known for her military disciple, skill with a blade, and is held in high esteem by the Imperial Japanese soldiers, we get a voucher for Browning's character. If Mio Sakamoto says that he's on the up-and-up and not acting like the usual oversexed American, people should listen, unless they were already predisposed to dislike her and Browning. And Mio can train Browning on how to use his magic, so double bonus there.
I can't refute @Always Late's words now.
They make too much sense to me, help.

Well, I'm studying to be a historian, and specializing in the 20th century. If I can't make sense talking about WWII, my parents are wasting alot of money.
Speaking of history discussions, I do not envy Browning for taking the Akagi over to England. The thing was a cramped, poorly ventilated powder keg. At least they have one of the best rice chefs in the Imperial Navy onboard, that was the only thing keeping them from acting like Kaga's crew.
Oh right, Yakitori Kaga, huh?
At the very least, the IJN Akagi has experienced aircrews.
Anyway, I'm still thinking of what could possibly happen when you put shipgirls, planegirls Witches and tankgirls tankers, and a lone ground pounder under one roof...

Just as you sigh there's a vibration through out the ship. You look over to Houshou and ask."Are we moving?"
Houshou moves closer and calmly speaks. "That's right. The Captain decided to leave since we finish resupplying earlier than expected even after the 'accident'." She then looks to the girls and addresses them. "Ladies, the standby has been lifted so you're free to go. If you want to go up now's the time." There's cheering from behind and the girls start walking out. As you move aside, most of them pause to give you a bow or nod and move on. When it's over, you, Houshou, the Major, Germans, and Yoshika are left in the mess hall.
"So I guess I'll go topside." You absently say to no one. Before you even move you feel a twist in your stomach bitching about being empty. "Oh, um, Houshou, is there any food that I can eat?"
"At this time no but I'll make something. Could you wait though, I need to show them to their rooms." She indicates the Germans with her eyes.
"Yeah that's fine. I'll be up." As you take a step you're stopped by Mio's hand on your chest.
"Do you know your way out?" She forms a grin when you shake your head vehemently. "Follow me. Miyafuji you coming?"
"Yes!" Yoshika latches to your right arm as you leave. Mio turns around says something to Houshou that you don't understand but you're still moving so it's fine, positively.
After steps and steps upward, you find yourself on the bridge with the Captain and several others. The Captain looks over and nods at you before giving commands in Japanese. You keep following Sakamoto outside to the bridge's balcony where you see that there's people cheering from the shorelines and the base.
You see that the restraints are being removed and the ship is slowly drifting in the water. Before long the ship starts following the river to the exit with cheers coming from everyone. Looking below you see sailors and the the other girls waving at the Americans. You take a look with your binocs to read some of the messages.
"Peace on Earth. Thank You. Go Get Them. Go Japan. Good Luck. Happy New Year."
"That's nice." You hear Yoshika say so you glance over to see Sakamoto and Yoshika waving back. "It like when we left back home. Right Sakamoto?"
"Yeah, almost." Mio stops waving and leans on the railing. "Sergeant?"
"Here." You reply and see Mio turns her head to you.
"Thank you for accepting..." You hold a hand up to stop her from continuing.
"Thank you. You got me out of my unit and a way to Europe. If anything, I'll thank you for what you did. Also you Miyafuji, you helped me right? Thanks." Mio's face is confounded for a time by your answer. Ultimately she goes back to a smile as she remains quiet. Miyafuji however is full of concern.
"Why? Why do you want to go?" As you open your mouth to respond, you hear the door behind you open. Peeking out is Housho and Fubuki carrying something in a cloth bags.
Why does one fight. Why do you fight.(Neutral Answers will not be used, if no answers then I'll write some later.) [] Write-in Paragon [] Write-in Renegade
"Um, Hi." Fubuki weakly waves, her voice uncertain. "We have some, um, onigiri." She unclothes her bag to reveal some rice wrapped in seaweed.
Unable to wait you pick one and bite it in half. Judging by the her reaction she's surprised and freezes in place while Houshou is gently smiling and goes to pass hers out to Yoshika and Mio. You quickly finish it you grab another, then another when that one disappears into your stomach. But it still wasn't enough so you stuff about four more before being satisfied.
You top it off with water from your flask, declaring. "I'm happy now." Fubuki blushes madly and tries to make some words come out of her mouth. Failing to do so she just decides to nibble on a rice ball. Looking to your flank, the others are enjoying their meal and the scenery.
I'm thinking the setting is like Strike Witches and KanColle in that there's hostile alien things trying to end humanity, and the heroes are fighting back?
Then we got family to protect, and now, we got a bunch of comrades.
[X] Mostly? I fight because it is my duty. There's been a Browning in the US military almost since there was a US military. I'm just the latest in a long line. I also have a duty to protect those that chose not to fight, be it from aliens from outer space, abominations from the depths of the ocean, or even from other people.
I took a bit of liberty with the character's background. I also admit that I formulated the answer mostly based on the person asking. I was trying to go for a paladinesque paragon answer, though I think I may have leaned towards the neutral side.
