Panel 1
Ooyodo: The fleet has returned to port.

Panel 2
Kaga: How was the operation, Ooyodo?
Ooyodo: It seems we succeeded in wiping out the main enemy fleet, at least.

Panel 3
Ooyodo: But the enemy was apparently quite tough, so we took a lot of damage...
Akagi: (What a failure...)
SFX: Tattered...
Kongou: (Shit!)

Panel 4
Kaga: Even if there are operations while the Admiral's gone... it looks like we can't rest on our laurels.
Huh...!?

Panel 2
Asashimo: How do I put it... Yukikaze's damn lucky... as usual...

Panel 3
Asashimo: Sheesh... I can see why they call her the "miracle destroyer"...
Yukikaze: I'm not a miracle!!	* See Yukikaze's intro line
Tenryuu: You don't get to say that line in present tense while performing a miracle!	* Yes, it's technically present progressive tense
(How the hell is that thing standing?)

Panel 4
Mutsu: My, but isn't it thanks to Yukikaze that all our operations go well?
Kiyoshimo: Ah,
Mutsu-san.

Panel 5
Mutsu: Enemy torpedoes especially have an almost eerie tendency to avoid Yukikaze, don't they?
(How mysterious~)
SFX: Boom
Swoosh
Fusou: And so many times after they do, they come right for us.
(Me too~)
Yamashiro: (Me too~)
Kiyoshimo: So wouldn't the torpedoes coming be Yukikaze's fault...?

Panel 1
Yukikaze: ...is Yukikaze making it hard for everyone else...?

Panel 2
Mutsu: Ah, sorry! That's not what I...
Kaga: ...Yukikaze,
that's your gift. There's no need to feel bad about it.

Panel 3
Yukikaze: ...then Yukikaze...
doesn't need something like "luck".

Panel 4
Everyone: Eh?

Panel 1
Yukikaze: The only things I wished for was success in operations and more meat in my curry, but...
I'll use this power [luck] for the sake of everyone's happiness!
Kiyoshimo/Asashimo: (There's no meat...)
Wait, that was you...!?

Panel 2
Tenryuu: Shouldn't we stop that?
SFX: Gya! Gyaa!!
Kaga: ...well, guess it's fine.
(Don't think there's much we can do about her ourselves...)

Panel 3
Narration: ...however,
after that day, change came...

Panel 4
Akashi: Kaga-saaan! B-big news!

Panel 5
Akashi: Look! I somehow managed to build a 51cm turret using just the minimum recipe!

Panel 6
Ikazuchi: We found a huge amount of resources on our expedition, Kaga-san!
SFX: Ta-dah

Panel 7
Kongou: Maruyu got MVP, dess!!
Maruyu: (Sorry, sorry!)

Panel 1
Narration: And then...
Ooyodo: Kaga-san,
the fleet has returned to port!

Panel 2
Kaga: How was the operation, Ooyodo?
Ooyodo: We weren't able to wipe out the enemy, but it was apparently another success.

Panel 3
Ooyodo: While the enemy was quite strong, we took surprisingly light damage.

Panel 4
Kaga: ...I see, our fleet grows stronger by the day.
Huh...!?

SFX: Tattered....
Sob, sob...
Flop, flop

Panel 1
Kaga: This is weird, no question about it...

Panel 2
Tenryuu: Weird!?
Kiyoshimo: What's weird about this!?
Medal: Battleship
Yamato: Sorry for intruding! Battleship Yamato, reporting for duty!
Kaga: All of it.

Panel 3
Kaga: Say what you want, but can't you see just how insanely good everyone's luck is?
Tenryuu: That's... well..

Panel 4
Kaga: Meanwhile, in return...
Yukikaze: Ow!
SFX: Trip

Panel 5
Kaga: Yukikaze's...

Panel 1
Kaga: Yukikaze.

Panel 2
Kaga: Are you alright?
Yukikaze: Kaga-san...

Panel 3
Yukikaze: How is it? Is everyone as happy as Yukikaze was?
(Yukikaze, doing my best!)
Kaga: So you were the cause after all...
(I couldn't believe you could actually pull off something like this...)

Panel 4
Kaga: This is good enough, so please return to normal.
(As soon as you can)
SFX: [Dramatic]
Tenryuu/Kiyoshimo: No way!!
Yukikaze: Eh!?

Panel 5
Yukikaze: B-but, Yukikaze is...
Kaga: Yukikaze.

Panel 1
Kaga: I know you're a kind-hearted kid.

Panel 2
Kaga: And it's because you're a lucky ship...
that when you see your comrades hurt, your heart aches more than anyone else's does.

Panel 3
Kaga: But I think for us to truly be happy-
we have to bring this fighting to an end.

Panel 4
Kaga: And doing so requires your strength.
So,

Panel 1
Kaga: How was the operation, Ooyodo?
Ooyodo: We managed to completely wipe out the enemy fleet, even in the deepest parts of their waters - a huge success!

Panel 2
Kaga: I see.

Panel 3
Kaga: Everyone -
you've done a great job.

Panel 4
Yukikaze: Yes!
Yukikaze's protected the fleet!	* Similar to Yukikaze's Attack line
