The Troubled Admiral Forgets

Page 84
Panel 1
TTK: It's hard... too hard...

Panel 2
TTK: My head's burning up!
(Aaah!)
Hatsuyuki: (Ugh... let's just stay inside?)  * She uses the root word for Hikikomori of course
Bag: 12.7cm Spinach Ramen
TTK: The fleet comp...

Panel 3
TTK: While we were leveling up at the Bashi Islands, we got new comrades one after the other!
After Kirishima, we quickly got more battleships too!
Even though they finally joined us, they pitifully haven't had their debut yet...

Panel 4
TTK: But I can't bear to go on without the shipgirls that have been trying so hard for me until now either!
SFX: Flap, flap
Kuma: You're overthinking it kuma~

Panel 5
Kirishima: The Eastern Orel Sea...  * Map 2-3
when we checked out the enemy force there before the event, how did the Commander react?

Panel 6
TTK: Back then, Kirishima had just arrived...
uh... right, it seemed doable then.
Sign: Eastern Orel Sea Capture Fleet Composition Planning
Kirishima: Afterwards, we got stronger through the event.

Panel 7
TTK: I see... there's a lot of comrades here, so I might as well enjoy the wide selection, right!
SFX: Bang
Tone: (I am Tone! Who might have called upon me?)
TTK: I'll think up a comp that includes both veterans and rookies!

Panel 1
TTK: After much thought...
we're sortieing out to capture the Eastern Orel Sea with this fleet, including newcomers while maintaining combat strength!

Panel 2
TTK: The core attack force, Kirishima and Akagi!
Her first time in a fleet, battleship Ise! She's Level 1, but she already has the firepower!
And new light carrier Ryuujou and heavy cruiser Mogami!

Panel 3
TTK: Of course, the flagship is Fubuki, as always!
Crowd: See you guys later!
TTK: Let's sortie!!
Huh... I feel like I'm forgetting something...

Panel 4
TTK: Ah!?
Kitakami!?
KTKM: (See ya later~)

Panel 5
TTK: Since I was thinking by ship class when swapping out members, I accidentally forgot... Kitakami!
Fubuki: (We can't go back now!)
TTK: (Aah, CLTs!!)
KTKM: Eh... was I forgotten?

Panel 6
TTK: ...ah, I'm always relying on Kitakami, so why would I go and forget her...
(Damn...)
Kuma: It's 'cause you didn't think it through properly kuma

Panel 1 and 2
TTK: A rematch with the Eastern Orel Sea!
The route we're taking to the boss had one battle and two resource nodes - pretty easy!

Panel 3
Fubuki: Commander, the main enemy fleet!
TTK: Two Wo-class carriers... one's an elite, and there's a Ru-class battleship too!
It's a bit scary, but it'll be fine!! Because of...

Panel 4
Ryuujou: Me! That many carrier-based aircraft is dangerous, you know!
Akagi: First Carrier Division, Akagi! I'll minimize the damage from air combat!
SFX: Swoosh

Panel 5
Kirishima: Kirishima! I got a huge boost in firepower from remodeling!
SFX: Bam
Ise: Battleship Ise! Right turret, firing!  * Battle start line

Panel 6
TTK: As expected of battleships! Even with the Crossing the T penalty, they dealt a huge blow to the enemy!
The only notable damage on our end was Mogami, moderately damaged!
Next, night battle!
Mogami: Wait, only I ended up in a position like this!?
(Even though it's my first battle!!)
TTK: (D-don't worry about it!)

Panel 1
TTK: Fubuki's strength during night battle is well-tested!!
SFX: Ka-boom!
TTK: Eastern Orel Sea, captured with an S-rank victory!!

Panel 2 and 3
TTK: I feel so wonderfully fulfilled with this fleet!
Turned out there's some flexibility in the fleet composition too, isn't there!
Fubuki: But Commander, the next map is finally the last in the Sea of the Nansei Islands... * World 2

Panel 4
Fubuki: Okinoshima.  * Map 2-4

Panel 5
TTK: True, I've heard a lot of rumors...
it's a barrier that has caused suffering for many admirals and shipgirls!
SFX: Serious
TTK: But with all the shipgirls that have fought with me up until now, I'll definitely show that we can do it!
SFX: Creak
KTKM: You say that...

Panel 6
KTKM: But you said you forgot me, didn't you... Admiral?
(Heh...)
TTK: Geh... Kitakami!?

Panel 7
KTKM: It wasn't that you decided not to include me in the composition...
You. Just. Forgot. Me!

Panel 8
KTKM: How about I turn you into a bloody pulp!
TTK: (Uwaaaa!)
I don't have any CLTs other than Kitakami yet...
I didn't mean to offend you~
Fubuki: He realized that earlier, huh
