Fubuki Ganbarimasu: Tankoubon Omake

Chapter 204 has forced our hands, so now you guys will be getting all the omake from the past and into the future. We do it for free™
For those who have never seen the 4koma tanks in person or ripped, they also include appendices with historical references. Nowadays I include TL notes when pertinent, and definitely not worth the effort of going back and doing the old ones.

Raws are available through these shitty links:

Battleship Hyuuga

Ise... are you reading manga?
Hm? This? No, I'm just looking into the large-scale event coming up.

Is that snow that's falling!? Hail!? The Fubuki-class!?
Is it that strange of me!?

---

Fubuki-class
"Falling Fubuki-class" would be...
Covered in "Hatsuyuki", dancing "Shirayuki" and falling "Arare" too...
D-Dance...?
I can do a Bon dance...

A blowing "Yukikaze" with "Fubuki"...
Put more strength in it!!
Yes!

Snow slowly piling up into "Miyuki"...

Choreographing a dance with ship names... wouldn't be half-bad!?
Not that I really care... but isn't the last one just sleeping?
* Hatsuyuki=First Snow
Shirayuki=White Snow
Arare=Hail
Yukikaze=Snowy Wind
Fubuki=Blizzard
Miyuki=Deep Snow

Results of the Investigation
So what are you looking into, anyway?
You know how we're headed from the southwestern operational area to the west?
Guide to the South

There's going to be quite a large amount of movement, so I thought I should look into the climate, geography, and food of the various regions.

Indeed, our operations would do us no good if we fail to maintain our physical condition...!
Ise... How unusually diligent of you...!!

I have to investigate deeply and get a firm grasp... of the vacation potential for each area...!!

Alright! I shall assist in your research!
Eh? Really!? Thanks!!

---

Division of Labor
This would be your share of the materials...
My, my...

A guidebook!?
Bali
Gourmet
Special Beach RESORT Edition

Wait... guidebooks contain not only basic outlines of a region but also maps, climate patterns, and local foodstuffs...!!

... this truly is important information...!
Right!?
Souvenirs

Specialty Equipment
It might be better to wear swimsuits, given that the southwestern operational area is in the tropics.
Hmm... it could look unprofessional, but arguably it's a more appropriate look for the region...

We need to prepare some specialty equipment...
Specialty?
Yeah, Mizuho's in charge...
Mizuho... the seaplane tender...

Lifebuoy
Zuiun

That would be important!
Right?
Beach

It seems they cultivate rice on terraced paddies on Bali.
I thought they mainly grew fruit.
So there's plenty of rice.

It's Indica rice though.
Indica Rice
Japonica Rice
Hm... I have heard that long-grain rice is less sticky and has a distinct flavor...
Don't worry!!

Destroyer Naganami
It's perfect for fried rice and pilaf!
Light Cruiser Agano
Ohh!

But the shrimp is No Good, so I will not go to Phuket!
It seems lobster is popular there.

Preparations

Hm... I'd better sharpen my blade...
I'd be happy to do it for you later.

Thanks! I'll go practice to get ready then!
Sword practice...?

That night
Hyuuga! I brought some food!
Leftovers from practice...

What kind of practice was...?
Fruits...?

---

Strange Food
So if the western contact operation is successful, we're slated to go to North Africa and the Italian peninsula...
Operational Plans
There's not much information here on North Africa.
I couldn't find any guidebooks...
I figure it's warm, since it's on the Mediterranean and all.

Food includes... "cous cous"...?
According to Libe-chan, it's a form of rolled wheat flour.

...soup dumplings?
No, much smaller, like rice grain-sized?

...wouldn't it be better to just eat rice then...?
Wouldn't have to go to the trouble of making it.
That's besides the point.
It's not a replacement for rice.
It seems to be one of those things you have to try for yourself to understand.

Operation Complete!!
If we get as far as the North Atlantic off Europe, all that's left (for our main fleet) is to go all out and destroy the enemy fleet
Ah... yes... going all out...! (including us)

Then victory will have been carved on the dawn horizon of the North Atlantic...

and our European Vacation
and our European Relief
Operation will be a success! A great victory!!

---

Worries
Still, I'm worried...
About what?

If we're headed westward, we need to figure out the most efficient way to travel to (and have fun at) the best location (for vacation).

If we get that far west, we need to figure out the most efficient way to travel to (and fight at) the best location (for combat)...!

I get it...! Indeed, it has to be the perfect place we can put all our efforts toward!
Right?

Bright Idea
If you're that concerned about which area to sortie to, why don't we sortie to all of them?
I thought of that, but isn't that impossible?

I have an idea.
Eh, what is it!?

It's...
Ah! I get it!!

Good ool' Hyuuga! We'll do that!!
Just what was this idea that lets them sortie to all the areas...?
Find out in the next volume!!

Special project!
Visiting the shipgirls' rooms
Part 14!!

Thank you for helping with this, Iyo-senpai!
Mhm!
Leave it ta me, I-14!

So we just need to go around the dorms and show off the rooms?
You should've been calling subs for anything to do with numbers
Aneki and Hacchan said they wanted to help too
Yes, that's right.
Thank you very much.
Understood!

Aight, let's go!
but first, let's get fired up with a bottle-o'-

You can't do that!!
Maybe it would've been better to to get ships that're 14th of their class, like Tanikaze-chan or Okinami-chan...

---

Fumizuki
First of all is Fumizuki-chan's! And wow, she's growing a Chinese Lantern.
Destroyer Fumizuki
Wow, very seasonal~

What do you do with it after it dies off?
Winter and all.
Wither...
Cut
New!
It's a perennial, so the rhizome will overwinter.

Actually, I've also been able to grow them in this net-like form.
So stylish!!

...right?
Hehe...
Destroyer Matsukaze
Matsukaze-chan!?
They ran into each other during morning exercises, apparently.

Nagatsuki
Destroyer Nagatsuki
Hmm... Part 14... so I-14...
That's right~

Next will be Part 15... meaning Nowaki, the 15th ship of her... or perhaps DesDiv 15... wait...

If any connection to the number will do, putting Fumizuki and I together would get 15, would that work?
That's OK too, of course.
Are you that interested in visiting the shipgirl rooms?

No...? I was just trying to figure out the rule behind it.
Don't particularly want to do it myself
Seems diligent at first glance, but not really!!

---

Suzutsuki
Next is Suzutsuki-chan... is that a futon out!?
Destroyer Suzutsuki
I'm sorry, we were on night shift not long ago so we planned on taking a nap...
Ohatsu-san's already asleep.
Ehh? We're the ones who came at a bad time then, sorry! (Whisper)
Don't worry, we promised to host, after all.
Hey, guys.

Suzutsuki-chan's futon... it's so thick... isn't that the down futon I've heard of, where you can't even feel the weight?

No wait, it's super heavy!!
Sorry! That's just because I stacked two of them...
Sleeping in heavier futons apparently has a calming effect.

Suzutsuki and Hatsuzuki
I normally feel at ease underwater, so something heavy like that is a no-go for me~
Pretty sure the water pressure is way heavier...

Oh?

You guys play Go and stuff? How minimalist.
I would say we only just started...

We need to be able to play against Miyuki-san and her friends in Go and Othello...

Group character archetypes!!

---

Coastal Defense Ship Dorms?
Next are the Coastal Defense Ships of the Auxiliary Ship Dorms...
wait, Asakaze-chan!?

Destroyer Asakaze
Why're you here?
I have a convoy escort mission with the Surface Escort Division today.

And you're pouting cause you don't want to go?
Pout
Pout
No! Matsukaze deserted me during morning exercises again!

Oh I see, no wonder she was at Fumizuki-chan's place-
Matsukazeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Dash

Sado & ...
Coastal Defense Ship Sado
Huh? Have you seen Asakaze-san?
She went looking for Matsukaze-chan in the Destroyer Dorms...
She was just here though.

Ehhhh, we're just about to sortie, how're we-
Why don't you bring her back with that scary look of yours?
Coastal Defense Ship Etorofu
It's comforting having so many escort ships.

Coastal Defense Ships Hiburi, Matsuwa
I-I guess that's true!! Right!? Matsu!? Hifu!?
Why're you all stuttering and and slowly backing away!?

Subs are... scary...

But we're part of the same navy!?

Matsuwa
I can't help being nervous... whenever I see torpedoes... from submarines... even allies... sorry...

Do you have your torpedoes equipped?
Eh? No? I don't have 'em on me...

But then those cylindrical bulges on your back... aren't they torpedoes...?
Ah, those're...

Sake bottles, don't worry!!
That's not alright, for another reason!!

Submarine Dorms
So we couldn't visit the Coastal Defense Ships' rooms.
Stuff like this happens.

Last is the submarine dorm!!
Sure!!
This one's my family so leave it to me!

Submarine Dorm
Submarine I-13
Did Iyo-chan cause you any trouble? We should apologize as the two Cruiser submarines type AM sisters...
No worries! She's been providing a lot of support!

Although we were surprised she was hiding sake bottles on her back...
On behalf of the two Cruiser submarines type AM sisters... I do apologize...!!

---

Numbers
Submarines I-401, I-400
Iyo-chan for Part 14, right?
Then it's a long way to go for us, huh~

Submarine I-19
I'm not far away, nano!
Submarine I-26
We'd need double the parts to get to Nimu...

Submarine U-511
Yuu-chan is the furthest away, even more than Ro-chan...
The second furthest is Go-cha-

Lui-chan!!
Submarine UIT-25

Mission Complete
Uhmmm, we couldn't even do the submarine dorms...
It's okay, we'll do it another time.
That completes today's mission.

Yay! Well then, one bottle as congrats!
I figured!

Jeez! I told you not to!
It's fine, fineeee!
Well, the mission is complete, so celebrating is fine...

I'll have juice then...
Sure, sure~! Let's party our hearts out!
Iyo-senpai got pretty wild afterward, but Hitomi-senpai said it was pretty normal. I thought that was pretty incredible, in several ways...

Graf-san (Teaches the) Way of the Barista
Aircraft Carrier Graf Zeppelin
You want me to teach you about coffee?
Sure, but why now...?

Light Cruiser Naka
Naka-chan's currently on idol sabbatical, so I wanna pick up some new things!
I see.
So I thought I'd learn about coffee, come to like it...

And become Barista Idol Naka-chan!!
Barista?

So please teach me!
Shouldn't "the fleet's idol" want to learn about something else...?
She thought, but left unsaid.

---

The Land of █████
That said, does coffee have anything to do with those big ballistae thingies?
It's "barista", not "ballista".

Imagined
Baristas stand at bar counters and serve coffee.

A "bar"... I think I heard that word in the Land of Pasta...
Right.
In our country, we drink coffee at a "cafe" instead.

Did I get the countries mixed up...?
I thought you were from the Land of Beer...
No no no! It's often said that more people drink coffee than beer in my country!!

---

While Drinking Coffee
Well then, let's start with basic knowledge.
Please drink my coffee and listen.
Okaaaay.

So you see, coffee beans...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nod... nod...

Now there are several ways to roast...
Like this, or that...
Sip...

You are definitely drinking to stay away now.
Startled

---

Demonstration
If classroom teaching isn't stimulating enough, let's try a practical demonstration instead.
Aircraft Carrier Aquila
Ooph... Libe's tired of it too!
Destroyer Libeccio

If you're tired of just talk, let's try making it ourselves.
We'll try drip coffee, which my country invented... and I already got out earlier.
Ohhh.

Heavy Cruiser Zara
It's said every household in our country has one.
Heavy Cruiser Pola
And with a moka pot, you get espresso~!

So the Land of Pasta is really the land of...
The coffee from Graf-san's place is also good~

Moka Pot
This is a "mo ka pot"?
It's covered in something like soot...
We do it over an open fire.

And the inside is...
Black!!

You guys... don't wash these...?
No-nooo~  You just rinse them, so that the coffee stains can build up and add flavor~

Look, even Roma-san's is pitch black...!
In that case...
That's some incredible trust from Roma.

---

Europe
Next is the French press.
It's a simple system, that really brings out the distinct flavors of each bean.
Press the filter down
Extracted coffee
Coffee grounds
Extracted fluid and coffee grounds are separated
Filter
I've used those with black tea!
It was originally for coffee!

Next is Nel drip coffee.
Flannel filter
Coffee grounds
That thing's cloth!
It's rougher than paper filters, so you end up with a more mellow flavor.

And that's what the Admiral uses!
Hot water rises up
Extracted coffee falls down
It's easy to get a consistent flavor, and it looks interesting, so it's often used in cafes.
It produces quite a delicate taste.
It looks like a food experiment~

So there's a buncha girls, each with their own character... it's a lot like idols after all...
I don't know about that...


██ Idol
...so, are you satisfied?
Yeah! There's no way I can remember so many different methods in one go...

But the coffee was good and it was interesting!!
Thanks!

I see.
I... don't really understand idols, but I'm just glad they can appreciate coffee.

Then how about becoming a sommelier next?
We can taste as many as you'd like...
Heeeey!!

* Murakumo was flagship of DesDiv 12.

Murakumo: Couldn't you have done something like 12 backwards is 21, or 1 plus 2 is 3?

Destroyer Matsukaze
Matsu: I've been waiting for you two!
Look at the time! How about lunch?

Fubuki: Thanks. We were invited by Kamikaze-chan and the rest too...
Murakumo: I heard Miyuki eats breakfast with Asakaze pretty often too.
Matsu: Asakaze-aneki eats barley and rice like a starving man.
In contrast, I prefer superb dishes!

SFX: [Tadah]
Matsu: Look! Canned beef and white rice!
Doesn't it look tasty?

Murakumo: You girls are all the same, I guess...
Matsu: Ehhh? The Akizuki-class loved it though!
Fubuki: Yeah... we'll have the canned beef.

Fubuki: (No worries)
Kamoi-san only said she'd make it if she could.

Shimushu: It's not our room-su, but if you're talking about Kamoi-san and the auxiliary ship dorms, you can't ignore this-shu!

Murakumo: ...a stack of wooden crates?

Shimushu: We took some unused wooden crates and built a jungle gym-shu! It's really fun-shu!

Light Cruisers Jintsuu, Snedai
Sendai: Ahh, think I've heard that term before.
Jintsuu: I get the impression they're really unique...
Aircraft Carrier Kaga
Kaga: Which idols would these be, exactly?

Naka: First of all, underground idols are...
Kaga: I see, I see.
Sendai: Kaga-san's assuming they exist...

---

Above and Under
Naka: "Underground idols" rely more on live performances than on media, so they're closer to their fans.
They're also called "indie idols" or "live idols"...

Kaga: (Question!)
Why "underground"?
Naka: I believe it is because many of them perform in small, underground venues.

Kaga: I see... we're all close to the others on base,
but as shipgirls, we're "aboveground" idols or singers
Naka: True, Abyssal idols would be...

Kaga/Naka: !!

Abyssal Idol
Hoppou: I'm... Northern Princess...
I've been... telling you... not to... come... go home...!
Crowd: We don't want to!!

Jun'you: Hoppou-chan! Gimme a karate chop!

Hoppou: Leave me... a Zero... Leave me... a Reppuu...
Ryuujou: Here! A present!!

Naka: ...not bad...
Kaga: Yeah...

Opportunity
Kaga: In that case, Battleship Demon is more like a "gravure idol"...
Naka: She's the sexy type!

Jintsuu: Could we call Light Cruiser Princess a "masked idol"?
Naka: Pretty unique!

Sendai: Supply Depot Princess seems like a downer but is actually really good at live shows?
Naka: The type that surprises you!

Naka: [Shock]
Well, I've drafted the proposal, but what should we do with it...?
Sendai: You already went through the trouble of making it, why not throw it in the ocean and see?

Do It or Not
