- Various memories come and go on an early afternoon...
- Tashkent: Hey, Gamby.
- Was looking for you.
- Coma: I made some baguette sandwiches.
- Would you like to have lunch today, Gamby-san?
- Gamby: Yay! Can I?
- [Chitter-chatter]
- Haguro: Those three sure get along, huh?
- Ark: Ah, right...
- Ark: (When exactly are those three going to get their "revenge" on me?)
- (Makes me nervous.)
- I'd prefer the sooner the better.
- Haguro: Eh, sooner what?

- The Story So Far: Gambier Bay, Commandant Teste, and Tashkent learned of a "legendary bar" that once operated on base. But in the process of opening their own bar, Commandant Teste and Tashkent clashed over a trivial matter. In the end, Gambier's persuasion reunites the three of them stronger than ever. Their next objective is to get Ark Royal, who knows about the former bar, to acknowledge them...
- Gamby: Commandant Teste-san's baguette sandwiches are so good...!
- Coma: Merci! Please, eat up.
- Tash: I brought jam and black tea.
- Let's have Russian tea, everyone.
- Coma: That's black tea with jam added, right?
- Tash: Yep!
- Gamby: Sharing baguette sandwiches and hot black tea under the blue sky...
- Tash: We've been so busy lately with sorties and the bar.
- Gamby: This is so relaxing...
- Tash: The bar.

- Page 96
- Gamby: Speaking of the bar,
- we'd better speak with Ark Royal soon.
- Gamby: We still haven't decided what to do.
- Coma: That's true. We should invite her to the bar again...
- Tash: But when she orders,
- we'll be in trouble if we don't know how to make it.
- Ark: (That drink is made by doing that, then this, then that, and finally that other thing!)
- Coma: C'est vrai (True)...
- Gamby: Come to think of it,
- Gamby: When I was making that cocktail for you two,
- I was just thinking how wonderful it was to make cocktails for someone.
- It's like choosing presents.
- ---
- Page 97
- Gamby: So what if we make a cocktail we think'd make Ark Royal-san happy?
- Coma: A cocktail that would make Ark Royal-san happy?
- Tash: Good point. We worked hard,
- but we might not have put much thought into what kind of drink would actually make our customers happy...
- Coma: Then let's go with Gamby-san's idea!
- [High-five]
- Tash: So...
- ---
- Page 98
- Tash: What kind of cocktail are we actually going to make?
- Gamby: Uhmm, Ark Royal-san brings to mind
- Swordfish,
- black tea,
- Coma: roses...
- Gamby: Roses!
- A beautiful, rose-tinted cocktail.
- I remember seeing one in our cocktail research, back when we had calvados together.
- Gamby: Uhm, uhm, which one was it...
- [Flatter]
- Bay Alcohol Notes
- Gamby: There, there it is!
- This is it! Jack Rose!
- Tashkent-san: Tashmi, Tashko, Tashdai, Tashken
- Commandant Teste-san: Coma, Tes, Cote, Coma-chan, CT, Coma-chan-san, Tecchan, Tocchan
- [Ta-dah]

- Page 99
- Tashkent: What, you were thinking up nicknames for us?
- Gamby: Huh?
- Gamby: [Realize]
- Gamby: Kyaaaaaaaaaa, I got the page wrong, please don't look!!
- Coma: Oh, it's too late for that.
- Gamby: Well, I mean, you guys started calling me "Gamby"!
- I just wanted to have a nickname for you guys too!
- [Squeaaaaal]
- Tash: Gamby sure can be cute.
- Coma: I think I like "Coma-chan-san"!
- (It's cute!)
- Tash: Hm, then
- what should I go with?
- [Serious]
- Gamby: Please stop lookinggggg!!
- ?: Uhm, excuse me.
- Sorry for intruding at such a late hour.

- Mamiya: We're looking for the bar run by Gambier Bay-san and her friends.
- Is this the right place?
- Tash: Mamiya-san, Irako-san!
- Tash: What is it, do you need something?
- Mamiya: Sorry for the short notice.
- Mamiya: Irako-chan and I tried our hands at a dried fruits platter.
- But we ended up with much more than we had anticipated.
- Mamiya: We asked Haguro-san, and she thought you folks at the bar would be happy to have some.
- so we brought them here.
- Bar: Thank you, Haguro-san...!
- ---
- Page 101
- [Excited]
- [Clatter]
- [Beep]
- Mamiya: These're handmade so they're a little large. Do you think we can use these for anything?
- Coma: (Gasp)
- Oui! Of course!
- Coma: They're already good to eat as is,
- but we could mix them with cheese or butter to make fruitcake and such.
- Coma: Here we go.
- Coma: Dip them halfway in chocolate melted in hot water
- then let them cool off.
- Coma: And now you have a snack that pairs very stylishly with drinks! ...
- ...
- Irako: Ww, you sure can do a lot with it. Looks great...!
- Coma: ...
- Irako: Oh, Commandant Teste-san?
- Coma: ...
- Tash: Hey! That face!!
- [Shock]
- Irako: Hyaaa!?
- ---
- Page 102
- Tash: That's the face Commandant Teste makes when she's filled with the urge to make something!
- Irako: What on earth is that!?
- Tash: By the way, the last time she made that face, she made a mountain of croquettes and made us eat it until we were bursting at the seams!
- Coma: (There's still more where these came from!)
- Irako: That sounds kinda scary!!
- Coma: S-Seeing such delicious dried fruits,
- I can't contain myself any longer!!
- Coma: Uwaaaaaaa
- Coma: aaaaaaaa
- Coma: aaaaaaaa!
- [Pouuuur]
- ---
- Page 103
- Coma: Waaaaaaaaaa!
- [Oven mmmmmmmmmrm]
- [Puff]
- Irako: She popped out this golden-brown pound cake in the blink of an eye...
- Mamiya: I need a genius like this making our western snacks...
- Tash: Are you good?
- Coma: Oui❤
- ---
- Page 104
- Coma: Would you like one?
- Mamiya: Oh my, are you sure?
- Mamiya: (Thank you very much~!)
- Tash: Well, we don't have to worry about snacks anymore, thanks to Mamiya-san and Irako-san.
- Tash: Pound cake, fruitcake, chocolate...
- Coma: And that thing you mentioned Gamby-san, Jack Rose?
- If we have a cocktail with a calvados base, it would go well with dried fruits.
- Gamby: Alright, I'll get them all ready!
- Tash: Can we have some of the pound cake?
- Coma: Of course, please do.
- Coma: But I don't think we can finish everything in one sitting.
- [Lots]
- ---
- Page 105
- Coma: We need to narrow it down to one.
- The counter'll be a mess otherwise.
- Gamby: Hmmm...
- They're all so tasty, it seems like such a waste to have just one.
- Tash: A waste,
- huh...
- Ark Royal: You want to change the formation?
- Littorio: For the sortie tomorrow, yes.
- I was planned to be part of the formation too, yes?
- ---
- page 106
- Littorio: I've already asked and gotten approval from the Admiral to switch with Roma.
- I just wanted you, the flagship, to hear it straight from me.
- Ark: Understood.
- Tash: Ah, there you are, Ark Royal!
- Tash: Sorry for the interruption, this will be quick!
- I just wanted to ask, would you mind coming to the bar again tonight?
- Tash: We really want your help, Ark Royal.
- We want another chance.
- Ark: A-Alright.
- Tash: Really!? Спасибо (Thanks)!
- Tash: Alright, thanks for your time!
- (We'll be waiting!)
- Littorio: That was a little pushy, huh.
- Tashkent-chan and the others... they're running a bar?
- ---
- Page 107
- Ark: Well, they happened upon that bar, apparently.
- Okay, so substituting Roma, right...
- !
- Ark: This sortie we're changing,
- Richelieu's...
- Littorio: This has nothing to do with Richelieu-chan.

- Page 108
- Kongou: Okay, Jervis!
- Please eat up❤
- Jervis: Yay~!
- Kongou: Have you gotten used to things here in the naval district yet?
- If you're worried about anything, just tell us straight away, 'kay?
- Hiei: Oh, oneesama is always so dependable...!
- Jervis: I'm not worried about anything, really~
- Kongou: Then if you want anything...
- Jervis: Maybe destroyer friends?
- (I want more~♪)
- ---
- page 109
- Kongou: Are there no destroyers over there!?
- It doesn't matter who, just find me a destroyer, dess!!
- Hiei: Leave it to me, oneesama!
- [Grasp]
- Hiei: Hiei will immediately find-
- [Open]
- Tash: I'm the destroyer leader Tashkent.
- Nice to meet you!
- (How did this...)
- Jervis: You too, Tashkent!
- Kongou: Please eat up~!
- * Jervis was also a destroyer leader.
- ---
- Page 110
- Tash: Well, might as well enjoy while I'm here.
- Do you guys all have tea often?
- Kongou: Hmm, well usually...
- our fast battleship comrades also come.
- Tash: Oh, that sounds nice.
- Tash: !
- This black tea is great!
- Jervis: Right? I love black tea too!
- The scones are great too.
- Tash: Ah, guess I'll have one then...
- [Reach]
- ---
- Page 111
- Tash: This is it!
- Tash: Sorry, have to go!
- I'll be taking this.
- [Rattle]
- Hiei: But you just got here!?
- Tash: Next time, I'll bring
- a really tasty pound cake my friends made!
- [Pop]
- [Slam]
- [Pitter-patter]
- Kongou: She was gone in an instant, dess.
- But she did say she'd be back♪
- ---
- Page 112
- Gamby: Ta-dah!
- Coma: Ooh, that way you hold it is so cool!
- Gamby: Ehe, someone taught me recently.
- Tash: No way! Who?
- Gamby: I have no idea.
- Gamby: I think it's probably the same mysterious people that leave us notes.
- Tash: I see.
- Maybe if we get Ark Royal to acknowledge us, we can get her to tell us who!
- ---
- Page 113
- Tash: To make Jack Rose, we add lime juice to calvados,
- then shake in grenadine syrup.
- Tash: Calvados and lime juice, huh?
- Refreshing, it must be tasty.
- (We all tried the calvados, right?)
- Coma: Grenadine syrup... is that pomegranate?
- Gamby: Yep, that's right!
- Gamby: Shake it,
- [Shake]
- Gamby: then pour...
- [Pop]

- Tash: Wow, that's a beautiful rose color...!
- Gamby: In America, we calle apple brandy "applejack",
- That's where the name for the rose-colored cocktail "Jack Rose" comes from.
- Coma: How about we decorate it with a little rose and ribbon, like the western clothes Ark Royal-san wears?
- (I gave it a shot!)
- [Cut cut]
- (2 AM last night)
- Tash: Oh, nice!
- Gamby: ...we have drinks and snacks ready.
- Will this be enough...?
- ---
- Page 115
- Tash: Even if it isn't, we did the best we could.
- Alright, ladies, my bartender comrades!
- Everything is ready!
- Gamby: Good evening, Ark Royal-san.
- Thank you very much for coming!
- Ark: ...Tashkent invited me here.
- Ark: So, what do you have for me?
- Gamby: Somehow
- her expression is different from last time...
- Right!
- ---
- page 116
- Gamby: Your Jack Rose.
- Gamby: We chose it for the appearance at first,
- but its refreshing bittersweet taste does seem to suit you, Ark Royal-san.
- Ark: Suit me...?
- Gamby: Yes! It's a cocktail we chose based on our impression of you, Ark Royal-san.
- Ark: ...
- Tash: We also have some snacks as well.
- [Clatter]
- ---
- Page 117
- [Ting]
- Ark: ! This...
- Tash: We tried to make it like afternoon tea.
- Tash: Commandant Teste made a lot of things with dried fruits.
- They're all quite tasty, so please give them all a try.
- Ark: ...
- [Sip]
- [Bite]
- [Clench]
- ---
- Page 118
- Ark: Fufu.
- Gamby: Eh?
- Ark: I was wondering just what you all would come up with.
- To think you came up with all this.
- Ark: This was somewhat of a surprise, but the alcohol and snacks were good.
- And...
- Ark: I'm very happy.
- ---
- Page 119
- Ark: I'll cooperate with you all.
- Tash: R-Really!?
- Ark: Ahh, I can't always be around, but I'll teach you occasionally about cocktails and basic skills and such.
- Ark: And with that, excuse me a moment.
- [Stand]
- Tash: Eh?
- [Close]
- ---
- Page 120
- Tash: Eh, she's already gone?
- Why?
- Coma: But why...?
- Gamby: B-But!
- Gamby: She said she'd work with us...! I'm so happy!
- Tash: Now we'll be able to learn so many new cocktails!
- Coma: We're so much closer to opening the bar now!
- Bar: Operation Jack Rose
- is a big success!
- [Yay]
- [Step]

- Page 121
- Ark: Sorry about that.
- Ark: It's been a while since I wore this.
- Ark: Took a little longer than it should've.
- ---
- Page 122
- Ark: I won't go easy on you.
- You'd better be prepared.
- Bar: Roger!
- Narration: Huge progress made toward opening the bar!
