"We will reclaim South Manchuria."
World War III Begins!!
The fighting has started!! Wheee!! ( っ˙ᗜ˙)╮ =͟͟͞͞ 💣💥💥💥💥💥

...By the way, the reason for the insane consumption of patches and bandages?
The culprit will appear later.
(Seaman Apprentice, 19 years old) Oops, my tongue slipped.

About the Protagonist's Settings
The protagonist's settings are completely free!
Age, rank, height, background, personality... pile it on as you like. It's all your character.
...However.
There are some general guidelines in the Imperial Military for "what's considered normal."
Seaman Apprentice / Private: 18–20 years old
Non-Commissioned Officers: 25–40s
Second Lieutenant / Ensign: 22–26 years old
Captain / Lieutenant: 25–32 years old
Major / Lt. Commander: 30–40 years old
Lt. Colonel / Commander: 35–45 years old
Colonel / Captain: 40–55 years old
Of course, these are just general guidelines.
In the Imperial Military after the start of WWIII, a merit-based appointment system has been introduced, so age doesn't matter if you have the skills. ( 'ㅇ' ) Wow...!!
- A 21-year-old Major?
Totally possible.
- An 18-year-old genius military doctor?
Well... if the government approved it, then fine!!
- A 50-year-old Seaman Apprentice?
...Man, what happened to you? (＾ω＾) You okay? lol
- A 19-year-old Colonel?
The whole ship: "?????" ( 'ω') Wha!?
But if the Imperial Military approved it... well... fine!
In short. Humming ♪( ◜ω◝و(و " (<- Author)
Set it however you like.
However. ✋
If you're a Colonel younger than the Captain...
Or if you're younger than Inose (19) but have 20 years of military service (time-space is warped, isn't it?)...
Or if you're an 80-year-old recruit...
People around you might look at you like, "Uh, okay..." (´^д^｀) lol
...Eh?
The protagonist is non-human? ...Immortal!?
That's fine too; I love that stuff. (Straightforward)
(Tell me the details in the comments later.)
The author will laugh along with you. Good luck.
( ᐛ👐) Tada!
...By the way, me?
I started as a 21-year-old Ensign (Female), handled a MASCAL (God-tier) event, and got promoted to Colonel within the story. m9(^Д^) Pfft!
(How did that happen?? ( '-' )!?)

Trivia
🚨 What is MASCAL?
Short for Mass Casualty.
Simply put...
"Too many casualties!! Medical Department, all hands on deck!!"
It's an emergency situation.
For example:
- Ship hit 💥
- Missile impact 💥
- Explosion accident 💥
- Large-scale fire 🔥
It's declared when dozens of people are brought in at once.
At this moment,
The Medical Department ends normal outpatient care.
Everyone shifts to combat casualty mode.
A cold?
Later. ^^
Muscle patches?
Later. ^^
Lovesickness?
Way later, you idiot! ( '-' )ノ)`-' )
Life comes first.
Trivia Part 2
🏷️ What is Triage?
When there are too many casualties,
It's the sorting process to "decide who to treat first."
It's not by order of arrival.
Treatment is prioritized for those with the highest chance of survival.
Categorized by color:
🔴 Red (Priority I) Immediate surgery/lifesaving needed!
🟡 Yellow (Priority II) Treatment within a few hours.
🟢 Green (Priority III) Minor injuries. Can walk.
⚫ Black (Final Priority) Survival extremely difficult, or confirmed deceased.
...It's a harsh judgment, but it's a vital system to save as many lives as possible with limited time and resources.

Intro
—The year is 2026 AD.
Japan, having returned to its status as the Great Japanese Empire, has entered World War III over the reclamation of Northeast China—the land once known as "South Manchuria."
Sailing at the front lines is the Imperial Navy flagship, the 'Battleship Yamato-Kai.'
Despite being one of the world's largest battleships, there is a daily routine that never changes on this vessel.
Morning roll call, deck maintenance, engine room inspections, and the scent of breakfast wafting from the mess hall.
And in the medical office, someone always comes by today as well.
Whether they are injured, sleep-deprived, or faking an illness.
As the ship's doctor, Guest's job is to protect the "business as usual" for these crew members.
...Though sometimes, that "business as usual" can be a bit too noisy.
The sound of frantic, heavy footsteps running straight this way can be heard. Judging by the restless way of walking, it's definitely that guy—the "medical office regular," Takuto Inose.
BAM!! (Sound of the door opening)
Guest-san!!! I got hurt again today, please treat me! ♡
Saying this, he marched right up in front of Guest. The distance was abnormally close, with their knees almost touching.
It's peaceful again today, Guest-kun...
Riku Sonoda, the Captain of the Battleship Yamato-Kai, who had been sitting next to Guest and chatting leisurely, jumped slightly as Takuto Inose burst into the room, causing a bit of coffee to spill from the cup in his hand.
...It's not peaceful at all anymore.
He frowned and glanced at Takuto Inose.
Ah, it's you again. Where did you get hurt this time?
He spoke gently to Takuto Inose.
Hey!!!
Seaman Apprentice Inose!!
I told ya not to run!! How many times do I gotta tell ya before ya understand!!
The ship ain't a place for sprintin' around! How many times I gotta say it!!
You're the one makin' reasons to hurry every single time!!
The usual roar echoes from down the hallway.
The voice rapidly approached and stopped dead in front of Inose, who had nowhere to run.
A breathless Kaito Hiyama stood there with his hands on his hips, towering over him.
Full-on sprintin' down the hall, and just as I thought, ya trip and hurt yourself...
Where'd ya leave your ability to learn, huh?!
