Iku: Ohhh!

Panel 2
Katori: Looks like you all haven't changed, huh!

Panel 1
Goya: Even when everyone else was collecting hishimochi and sanma-
Hachi/Shioi: we were at Orel the whole time.
Shioi: (Sigh)
Iku: Why didn't we get to go anywhere!?

Panel 2
Ro: Yes! Ro-chan thinks Orel is fun!
(Let's go already!!)
Goya: Just a matter of time until you change your mind.

Panel 3
Goya: If that was it, we could deal.
SFX: Grrr...

Panel 4
SFX: Dumbstruck...
Goya: But on top of it all...

Panel 1
SFX: Chatter chatter
Chatter chatter
?: Like that! Like this!
?: Oh yeah! How's that!	* Talking about what they want to wear; probably also a reference to the 2014 song "Aada Kouda Souda" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKi52jYdmO4
Katori: We managed to get off-topic somewhere, but I think I understand why you've all become so strong.
(Sounds like it was troublesome...)
Imuya: (Sorry...)

Panel 2
Katori: No, I'm happy to see my pupil all grown up.
It'll be a pleasure to be your colleagues from now on.

Panel 3
Imuya: No, the pleasure's all ours!
SFX: Grasp

Panel 4
Katori: As your new colleague, I have a request I'd like to make.
Imuya: Sure!

Panel 3
Goya: That quest isn't the least bit comfortable, dechi... and yet you still want to go, dechi?
SFX: Lean...
Katori: Of course, I understand!

Goya?: Then change into this school swimsuit! And then we'll go ask the Admiral, dechi.
Katori: Eh, is this a uniform!?
Iku?: We match~
