Have I misheard him?
To choose what kind of ship I am going to be?
Of course my choice will be the carrier! I will bomb everything while remaining safe.
“Aircraft carrier is my choice.”
“Understood, kid. If you will find that your choice is too much for you, I might change your ship.”
“I doubt it will be necessary.”
“Farewell. Don`t die again.”
[Yeah, I will do my best to avoid such pleasure…]
I opened my eyes somewhere in a forest.
Of course my first reaction was to look around. Luckily neither I found any wolves nor ‘my’ dead body.
I started to check out my new body.
I found long ears on top of my head, and that I have long white hair with metal-grey tips.
I am wearing a blue kimono. It has gorgeous white flowers painted on it. I don`t know what it is made of, appears to be of silk.
And finally… yes, I have a tail. Even two tails, with same white hair and metal-grey tips.
By the looks of it, my body is quite slender. I felt no muscle on my arms, nothing on my legs as well…
And my flight deck is almost perfectly flat. At least it should pass as ‘A’…
What do I have with me?
The same lunchbox I had before. With a sticker on top of it.
‘Meals refresh every 6 hours. They should be enough for you not to die of starvation. Don`t expect too much.’
[Thank you?]
Next I have an umbrella, Japanese styled. I guess it will protect me from raining… raining sunlight? Why is it made of paper? Or this is just me being stupid?
And finally comes my gear.
How can I summon it?
“Erhm… ‘Transform’!”
“Ship mode!”
“Fighting mode!”
…
A lot of time later.
[Appear on me, for God`s sake!]
And it did. An angled flight deck with 3 elevators and 4 catapult rails. I am satisfied with such an outcome.
The deck is completely flat. Literally it is flat. There is nothing, no ship parts underneath. Just the deck itself, and whatever is on it.
In that game to see something you should use ‘Details’?
“Details”
…
“WHAT THE F*?!” Where are my planes?!
Okay… catapu…
Okay… I will have to use guns for now. What are they?
“WHAT THE F*?!” WHERE ARE MY GUNS?!
“WHY THE F* IS THERE ONLY A RIFLE?!”

Okay, it is not the time for panicking. I still have a naginata!
…
“Waaaaaaah!” I AM crying. I have no way to express myself otherwise.
…
A lot of time later.
I have tried out my naginata. The results were… discouraging… to put in in a good way.
I couldn`t even hit a tree. A stationary target.
When I finally hit it, my naginata flew out of my hands and hit me in the face with its pole. Right in my soft little face. I don`t even know how I look and I am already maimed.
In those 30 minutes I managed to: hit a tree ONCE, 13 times drop my naginata, hit myself in the face.
And the main achievement: successfully cry out of hopelessness.
“Just why do you hate me so much, God?”
Let`s look at my stats and skills. I am not acting like a crybaby.

Now everyone should agree that I have all the reasons to cry.
I should look at what I can find in the shop.
Level point – 1 platinum coin.
Upgrade point – 10 gold coins.
Skill upgrade point – 1 gold coin.
Weapon upgrade point – 1 silver coin.
“Oh my. Pay2win?”
Let`s summarize what I have.
I have no aircraft. I have a s* rifle. I have a naginata which I cannot use. I can create little flames. And I even can create little shiny sparks. Am I not a superior being?
I will have to live with that until I find a way to improve my stats. At least my super skill is awesome.
In fantasy novels there is one little cliché, when the hero encounters friends/beautiful girl/fellow adventurers being attacked by evil bad monsters. And of course saves them. Let`s see if this will happen to me, and how fast will I run away before anybody can spot me.
I am in no shape to fight even a bug. Especially if that bug is as big as I am.
I`ve walked in one direction for several hours. The sun is about to set. Either I will find my way out of the forest, or I will repeat my encounter. With consequences much worse than before.
Lucky me, I have found my way outside. I have found a path.
I feel that the last person to walk down this path happened to do so only a few hours ago. Was I ever that observant?
Without minding that, I started to walk in the same direction that person did. I will either encounter them, or walk out of the forest and find civilization.
Let the adventures of a fox-girl begin!

The first chapter? Never thought I'd see the day.
Oh it an actual ship girl huh? Was expecting an actual ship instead...
Major spoiler alert
She is both a ship and a person.
I meant a ship with an Ai or possessed by a spirit or something like that not azur lane ship girl kind of ship
@Watchman Sorry to disappoint. There were no AI units on Bismarck. (Not that there are any shipgirls as well.)
Okay, Type-99 wasn't THAT bad of a rifle. Just severely outdated by WWII. In a fantasy world you're not going to be filled with wholes by M1 "Grands"'s and M1929 "Thomson Army"'s.
This is certainly not a bad rifle.
Just in comparison with 5 inch gun, it is a bit underpowered. She was promised to be a ship.
If Fuji-chan will get some upgrades to her stats - Type 99 might be with her for a long time.
Thanks for the chapter ❤💙😊😎.
Ha ha ha, certainly the preludes hinted at this and I did say the whatever the "option" god was giving would be a slightly smaller stick with hidden thorns. God you are the best.
why am i not surprised kitsune ship was chosen? (im really not, do any poll, any poll at all, and if one option is a fox girl it wins hands down, the genderbender community doesnt care for variety, most readers have a thing for foxes and will always choose foxes even if its the objectively worst option) lol
Yes, I know. I was hoping more people will choose proper all-big-guns idea. Now we have what we have...
@AFP_Writer unless its something you actually want to write its best practice to just never include a fox type option. i have no idea why but this community has a borderline fetish for fox girls
one novel the author wanted to write an arachne novel, made a poll, 90% went foxgirl instead, author was pretty upset about it, and wrote a few chapters more than basically quit
imagine choosing foxgirl over arachne, when arachne novels are very rare and the vast majority of genderbenders are foxgirls, like... damn
@Nari Well, I included Fuji-chan because I was fine with doing novel about her as well. If you read other comments, and my late prechapters you can see, that DDL, BC and CV options were actually the only ones I was going to do.
same
I'm not sure what's going on, this story isn't for me.
Oh how the mighty have fallen
Everything that falls is bound to rise again. Sometimes. With a lot of exceptions.
I need to preface this very important question with this:
I am not a degenerate. Promise.
Now, onto the very important question. Will she become less flat as more stuff gets on her deck?
Again, would like to repeat: NOT a degenerate.
You can expect that she will only have something there if that something is cotton.
