>I...I'm the flagship, Heavy Cruiser, Haguro.  I, too, will commit what little power i have...!
>Hmm (note: can also be read as "hmph"...Haguro-san....so she's that timid, huh--
>[Alright]
>Well then, leave it to the Fleet's Idol, Naka-chang, to heat this sortie up!
>Leave protecting everyone's backs to me!
>[Sortie!]
>She's cooler than I imagined.

>I heard we were going to take a group photo?  Here--Naka-chang will take the center--
>[let me see]
>We're still waiting on the Myoukou-class's....
>Haguro-san?  Naka-chang just saw her over there before~I'll go and call her.
>Eh? A photo? I-it's okay not to have me in it...
>How is that okay?
>T-then please give me a nice corner...
>Really now, you! Someone so cute needs a little more self-confidence! Come and stand with me at the center!
>[To]I heard that those who stand at the center of photos Die Faster![ne]
>Being an Idol is tough enough, trying to rake in popularity before youth runs out...
>But could it be that the momentary joy of the center comes at the cost of life itself?
>Won't it be fine if we have an even number?
>[Nobody at the center]
>At the end of it, it's just superstition.
[When cameras made their debut in Japan, sayings like "he who has a picture taken will also have his soul taken" and "he who stand at the center of the photo will die early" circulated widely.

>[Maah/well--but]
>No matter how you look at it, these superstitions will be blown away by Naka-chang's smile power~
>[Ahaaaa]
>Amazing....she really does her best to stay upbeat.
 >[If my personality could also make people around me happy like hers]
>[I'd also be able to lighten the load on everyone and the commander...]
>[but...how could someone shy like me be like Naka-san....]
>By the way, Haguro-san should smile a little more too.
>[just like Naka-chang!]
>Smiles are a young girl's secret good luck charm!
>...mmm
>Right?
 >They got a little closer.

>[Naka's song]
>[I twirl a little here...]
>N-n-n-nee-sama it's n-nn-n-not like that, Naka-chan was just singing at the mess hall and then, uh
 >No need to be so frantic...

>[After docking]
 >Ah, Haguro-san, kyahya--
>Aaaaaaahhhhh
>Do you have to scream that frantically? After a day of damage, Naka-chang was just maintaining her skin!
>S-sorry, I was just a little shocked...
>[Nagato]
>Haguro-chan, do you normally not put on facial masks?  You need to take good care of your skin~ ah, do you want me to give you one to try?
 >[this just game out recently, it's really effective--]
 >Eh?  No, I'm fi....
 >[skin quality deteriorates--]
>[what's going on, Souryuu?]
>What, what--I want some too--
>[Admiral] >[Inspection Results]
>Recently it seems everyone's morale is sparkling high?
>It's just that our skin improved a little.
>[Idols walk on the front lines of trends]

>March 24th is Naka-chang's Launch day--
>Yukikaze as well!
>Same for I, Haguro...
 >The CL-hime S-ranks just keep coming--!
>Not only are the enemy torps all awry, they're duds--!
 >What in tarnation--
>I feel the kiss of the Goddess of Fortune!
>[Luck 60]
>We're just too unbeatable
>This is the power of smiles...!
>[Straightforwards]

>Haguro-san, congratulations on your Kai ni--!  That smile's not bad at all!
>Thank you!  Is it really?  It's all thanks to Naka-chan.  From here on out, I'll keep working hard...!
>No, we'll keep working hard together!
>Perhaps I, Naka-chang, have talents as a producer as well.
 >[snore--]

>Your Kai ni uniform's pretty cool, huh....but I feel like Haguro-san suits a frilly, girlier uniform instead.
>How could I fit something like that....that kind of thing fits Naka-chan way more.
 >[*Please refer to the insert from "The Admiral's Winter Break"]
 >Ah, that's right, do you want to try out my uniform?
>[I'll lend you my spare]
>U...um...
>Don't....don't stare at me....
>Photographer, get the fuck over here--
>Naka-saaannn

>Ufufufu, the weather's quite nice.
>Ah, look over there.
>That cloud looks kind of like Naka-chan.
 >Ahhh, as expected of I, Naka-chang, to be so resplendent even as a cloud!
>They get along pretty well, eh
>They get along so well~
>Several minutes later
>It's gone
 >It disappeared~
>Everyone who has supported me until now....I will never say goodbye...!
>[Retirement]
>Well then, please listen to one last song....
>Naka-chan, don't retire!
>That's pretty nice~ (note, same as what Tatsuta says, except slightly differently.  Can mean wonderful, energetic or exciting)
>How wonderful~

>Naka-chan is as lively today as always--how cute~
>Thank you for your support--! After all, I am the fleet's Idol!
>Naka-chan-san (note: yes, that's what it says) do your best this sortie!
 >WHen you return, remember to sing a song for us!
>No problem, you all just wait for my return!
 >It's great that I'll be able to sortie with you today.
>I, Haguro, will make sure to protect Naka-chan, so please fight as much as you like...!  >[heartbeat]x2 I, Naka-chang, belong to everyone, you know.
 >Eh, um, sorry, did Haguro say something strange?
 >Nah, it's not you, it's me.

>[Thank you everyone for buying this doujin.  It's thanks to the official two-year anniversary picture that I could finish this Naka and Haguro doujin. ]
>[How should I describe these two's smiles?  Just looking back at past inserts makes me want to explode.  In a really nice way.  Haguro and Naka's new world is quietly opening its gates before us.]
>[I definitely won't tell everyone about the fact that this was initially meant to be a 32-deep page story that was eventually pared down into 16-page 4koma. I'm a little unhappy about it, so from ehre on out I'll definitely release more Naka-Haguro doujins.]
