From http://www.kcyuri.com/read-722.html

>Really now!! | Agano-nee just dropped her rigging equipment again.
>How many times have I told her!
>Snore--
>S... | she's already fallen sleep...
>[Admiral Diary <3]
>[Agano] >Admiral dairy....?
>..... | N.... Nono....
>I can't look at this kind of thing.
>Well, even though peeking isn't right...
>[Badump badump...]
>Sorry, Agano-nee...

>November 20th | My first time being the Admiral-san's secretary ship!
 >Agano has decided to give it her all in order to do her part for the Admiral!  |  From here on out, I will start taking down a diary!
>Salute!
>...As mentioned above, I was so excited that i couldn't fall asleep, and as a result,
>I overslept on day one.... | by about two hours.
>Though the Admiral forgave me, laughing after I apologized profusely.
>[Sorry!!]
>Eh?!  She got off so easy!! (noshiro)
>I won't discuss this any further!
>He seems to be treating Agano like a bit of an idiot!
>....a bit?
>Well....I understand.  |  IT's not like there's anything pressing going on at the moment.
>I have to protest against this!
>I must make him know the power of his newest elite warship!
>[Clench x2...]
>It's nothing.  It's nothing.

>Truly, the first impression is the most important, whether in work or in meetings!  |  In accordance to that, I immediately gave the Admiral a sound lecture!
  >Thanks in no small part to my hard work, the Admiral was made to realize Agano's excellence.   |  As the Commander, that's only to be expected!
>................ | The Admiral doesn't have it easy either.
>But after this, Admiral-san
>Treated me to Anmitsu at Mamiya's.
>So I forgave him!
>[Ahhhhhhh~]
>Truly, food tastes the best after hard work!
>The Admiral sure is clever!  |  Forced into a corner, he could only bribe me with Anmitsu!
>[Haha...]
>Because of this, | I'm going to sleep extra early for the Admiral-san's sakes!
>I am the secretary ship, after all!

>November 25th | In the morning, I went to Admiral=san's office to take a look.
>I figured she'd be late again...
>And I ran into Yahagi, reporting for her first time!
>The third sister of the of the new, elite Agano-class Light Cruisers!
>So you are Agano-nee?
>That is to say, she's Agano's sister.
>She gives offa  reliable aura.  |  As her older sister, I truly feel proud!
>[Ohhhhh!]
>Pleased to meet you!
>But, I still kind of feel
>that we have met before, even if this is our first meeting.
>Why is this...
>As expected of myself, to have noticed this!
>I'll be in your care, Yahagi!
>Cool and Suave!
>As the coolest Older sister and as a Senpai,
>You can call me Nee-san if you want!
>Eh....ah, alright....
>I have to guide her well!  |  I can't wait!

>December 1st | My first time training with Yahagi!
 >I'll be in your care, Yahagi!
>Likewise!
>Since I'm a senpai of the same class, I shall take on the duties of guiding her.
>I'll demonstrate for you. | Just follow my movements!
 >Noshiro, she
>Really.... | Such a rare chance to show the power of the eldest sister
>[Hah, hah]
>[woosh, woosh]
>But Yahagi, she

>Evade!
 >Yes!
>Quickly adapts to any obstacle and learns every skill before her.
 >[Shocked]
 >Even Agano is shocked!
 >Is it because Noshiro taught her well?
 >Not bad at all.  It isn't easy stuff, you know!
 >....that is to say, | Agano, who was the one who taught Noshiro, is truly an excellent teacher!
>Truly, this is the case!
 >[But I was the first to assume duty here...]
 >As expected of myself!

>December 13th | Yahagi failed a sortie for the first time.
 >Because she was sortieing with Yamato-san, she got overly excited.
>Although Yahagi looks reliable on first sight,
 >But even she sometimes makes her mistakes.
>As an older sister, I have to comfort her
>Yahagi!
>Agano-nee....
>Anyhow, in order to calm her nerves,
>Everyone fails once in a while.
>I brought everyone a lot of trouble when I first started to!
>I told her a few of my experiences!
 >And then, Yahagi, she
>Agano-nee, thank you....
>I'm fine now.
>Although she said that, is she really okay....?

>Just as I was thinking that,
>...Is it okay if I sit here?
>Yamato....
>As I was leaving, Yamato-san appeared to have followed over as well.
>Although it's a good thing that Yahagi's spirits are revived,
>Huh?
>But, hold on?
 >Ahaha
>Isn't her response a little different from the one she had with me?
>Compared to my comfort, does Yamato's concern make her even happier?  >Is Yamato-san more of a sister to her than Agano?!
 >This is....
>As the older sister, I can't give up here!
>[ps (Noshiro): It was I who came to this base first, I!]

>December 14th | as stated before, today,
>I will be observing Yamato-san in order to learn how to be a proper older sister.
 >10 in the morning.
>I found Yamato in Admiral-san's office.
 >She seemed to be saying a lot of difficult words.
>Considering the danger, the Northern dispatch....
>Well, among our more experienced ships, there's....
 >As expected, an older sister needs to wake up early...
>12 Noon.
>Admiral, time for lunch!
>This curry is the pride of the Yamato hotel!
>Yamato-san made lunch for the Admiral.
 >Yamato-san's appetite is huge, as expected of a huge battleship!
 >Ahh....I'm not a hotel!
>As an older sister, an older sister needs to eat huge lunches after all!
>2 in the Afternoon
>Even Yamato-san is starting to doze.
>After finishing lunch, Agano generally wants to sleep too.
>Evening, 6 pm
>Yamato-san finishes the remaining work with the Admiral.
>Please convey this to all the other ships.
>understood.
>Mm!  My condition is perfect at this time too!  |  As the newest elite, if I show my true potential, I definitely won't lose!

>Evening, 10 pm | Yamato-san is in the docks....rather, she's taking a bath!
 >Although she's usually wearing chest armor, what's remains is still truly befitting of a Battleship!
 >[squish squish]
 >But in this area, too, Agano has a lot of confidence!
 >Look!  The body of a thousand trials!
>Even the Admiral would be knocked breathless at the sight!
>[rub] [rub]
>Actually, I might get knocked breathless by this sight as well.....
>Evening, 11 PM
 >It looks like today's work has concluded.
>Goodnight, Admiral!
>Ahhh, | Thanks for your work!
>I'm beat!  | So Agano is going to sleep as well!
 >Hm...I was thinking before bed.
>The stuff she does doesn't seem that different from what Agano does.  |  To put it simply, do I just need to wake up early?
>Is that it...
>......................my head hurts.

>March 2nd | Today, the three of us sisters all have today off.
>So we all decided to get lunch together!
>By the way, Sakawa.....
>Without really noticing, we started discussing our youngest sister, Sakawa.
 >Ehh.......?
 >Sakawa is our sister?
 >Yep | although she hasn't taken up duties here yet.
>Agano-nee and I haven't seen her yet.
>[eating like it has nothing to do with you......although it's not that important.]
 >Has Yahagi seen Sakawa before?
>Yep, I've met her.
 >Even though that's true as ships, I still can't imagine how she looks as a shipgirl.
 >Hm~
>She must be like Agano | Super cute, with galmorous proportions and a gentle demeanor!
 >[Sakawa Concept Art, t. Agano]
 >Agano nee-sama....

>Yeah, it'd be quite a shock for everyone around us if she were like Agano-nee.
 >Right?
>Agano has finally seen my appeal, then~ | Really, it took yo so long.
>Yes, yes | Right, it's my fault, sorry, Agano-nne.
 >To see things in that kind of light to this extent is a skill in itself...
>Regarding Sakawa,
 >She wasn't able to sortie one last time with me, so.....
>[Yahagi-chan, I didn't get to sortie with you either....]
 >She must have felt lonely.
 >It might not be right to say "as a replacement,", | but this time, allow me to take care of you.
 >Ehhh---
>She definitely learned that from Yahagi......
 >Confidence!

>April 6th | On the way back from the bathroom
>[yawn]
 >Mmm
>I found Yahagi, in the throes oa nightmare!
 >Yahagi's in dream trouble!
>Uuu....
>N....o.....
 >This is Agano's moment!
>As fellow sisters in the New Elites, I should be able to enter her dreams and help her!
>Haaaah..... haaaah
 >Right now, Nee-san will save you!
>Yahagi ate too much, so it seems like her throat is clogged up.
 >It's great that I can help her!
 >Ah, also | in the dream I got to eat.....some kind of meat between bread?
>[nom nom]
 >THank you Agano-nee!  |  I'll give you a burger!
>it was really good <3

>Even though I did that, Noshiro lectured me hard once I woke up.
>I was late to my secretary ship work too....something like that.
>But it couldn't be helped this time!
>After all, Yahagi is my younger sister | I had to take care of her!
 >After I explained this to Admiral-san, | the Admiral rewarded me for saving Yahagi with Mitsumame (note: probably wrong, but it's some kind of japanese snack so whatever.  The chinese word is豆沙京果 , which only says that there are fruits and azuki paste involved.)
>How does she manage to unironically say this stuff ...
 >Really, Agano-nee....
>[snore--]
 >What a busybody.
>But, well..... | at least
>it seems like Agano-nee really is worried about Yahagi...

>[Nya]
>Noshiro.......
>Get it together....
>Ahh.....
>Good night
>Agano-nee.

>Ahhhh....speaking of which....she only really talked about the Admiral in the beginning, didn't she?

>[Pyaaaaah] [Who is that ?!]
>[Although the imaginary Sakawa showed up to suit the story, that kind of gentleness and type really doesn't suit the Agano-class's uniforms...]
>[Although I really want to draw the real Sakawa, but it wouldn't have fit well wit hteh rest of the story....Guhmhm (note: what the fuck is this meant to indicate?  Just leave it out if anything)]

>[Postface]
>[Hi and pleased to meet you, I'm an Abo.]
>[It's almost time for the season of pollen.  As I write this postface, I am already consumed by hay fever.  Don't forget your facemasks when you head out.]
>[My Yahagi doujin started selling in early April.  Its position made it hard to control myself.  I've said this on twitter a lot, but I really can't resist the Agano-class's beautiful bodies.  I drew the original draft at this under the light of Yahagi's armpit.]
>[Right, the title this time seemed to be about a story based around Agano-nee and the Admiral.  But in reality, this is a story about the Agano-class sisters.  It's been a long time since I've made a warm slice of lice story like this.  I've made Agano a complete airhead who brings everyone around her trouble.]
 >[If you read Last Year Witner Comiket's Yahagi Doujin, "Beyond the Wake, Part 1," you may already have noticed, the things that occur in that doujin and this one are a little related.  Although they're not in perfect continuity, but it's a bit of an expansion to the original Yahagi doujin.  If you haven't read it, pelase consider reading "Beyond the Wake".  (If I get selected, I plan on releasing the sequel in Summer Comiket).  Make sure to read it!]
 >[Well then, may we meet again.]
