TTK: What's Libeccio up to?
Ayanami: I heard she's working on her Japanese by helping out Houshou-san.

Panel 2
Ayanami: She's also learning more about the Naval District, so it's like killing two birds with one stone.
TTK: I guess.

Panel 3
TTK: I appreciate her enthusiasm.
But...

Panel 4
TTK: Why does it have to be my office?
Houshou: Sorry, this was the only room left...

Weak Point
Panel 1
Houshou: Well, only Akashi-san would know if you could really become a battleship...
(Uhhm...)
Libe: Eh~
TTK: Ah, she dodged the question.

Panel 2

Pft.

Panel 6
Libe: Could this turn ships into battleships?
(Prototype flight deck!)
Houshou: No, it can't.

Panel 7
Houshou: We don't have a Prototype Flight Deck Catapult in the first place, so...

SFX: Ta-dah
Can: Tasty Hardtack	* Hardtack and Flight Deck are both pronounced "kanpan"
Libe: What's with the bad puns, today Houshou-san!?

Ayanami: T-thank you very much.
SFX: Steam
Ayanami: But my cooking's no match for Houshou-san's.

Panel 6
TTK: (Hmm)
I guess each person's cooking is unique, even if they all put their love in.
Speaking of which, Houshou-san's cooking has, how do I put it...

Panel 7
TTK: the heartwarming taste of a mother's cooking, I'd say.
SFX: Shock

Panel 8
Ayanami: T-the Commander didn't mean anything by that...
(And Houshou-san's still young...)
Houshou: It's alright, I still feel young...
