Sign: Currently Away
Don't touch!
- Akashi

Panel 3
Tokitsukaze: There!
SFX: Clink

Panel 4
Amatsukaze: Is it jammed?
Tokitsukaze: Mmm...
Amatsukaze: Did it go "clink"?
Tokitsukaze: Yup, yup.

Panel 5
Satsuki: Quintuple mounts really are big...
Yayoi: Seems heavy.
Satsuki: You should just have Akashi-san fix it properly...

Amatsukaze: It'd be pretty pathetic
not to be able to fix something like this.
(Here.)
Satsuki: You're not even doing it yourself.

Panel 2
Yayoi: I think it'd be better to get it properly adjusted...
Amatsukaze: You're not mad, right?
Yayoi: I'm not.

Panel 3
Amatsukaze: See, it's fine.
It's moving.
SFX: Whir, whir
Pitter-patter

Panel 4
SFX: Clang

Panel 5
Amatsukaze: ? Did you hear that?
Tokitsukaze: Didn't hear nothin'.
SFX: Smush

Panel 6
Tokitsukaze: By the way, I personally
agree with Yayoi-chan, I guess?
Amatsukaze: Traitor!

Panel 1
Uzuki: Aren't there
"back" and "thigh" groups, pyon?

Panel 3
Uzuki: U-chan's got long hair.
It'd be big trouble if it got tangled on my back, pyon.

Panel 4
Amatsukaze: What are you...
Ah!
You're talking about this, aren't you?
Satsuki: I see.

Panel 5
Amatsukaze: Doesn't putting it on your leg make it even harder to move?
Feels like you wouldn't get a steady aim.
Yayoi: That's not the case...
(Once you get used to it.)

Panel 6
Amatsukaze: I've seen one girl
hit it and drop her gun a lot.
Satsuki: There is, there is...
Mutsuki: (Oyo!?)
SFX: Bang
Splash

Panel 1
Satsuki: I'd still prefer something light,
or easy to handle, I guess.
Amatsukaze: I think I'd prefer whichever has the most torpedoes.
That's something you can't make up for with training.
SFX: Baaang
Akashi: Hey!!
Don't go touching things!!

Panel 2
SFX: Mya~ [Seagull]

Panel 3
SFX: Spray

Panel 5
KTKM: What's this now?
A bunch of noise means...
Oh no...
Must be the destroyers.

Panel 1
KTKM: Ha-ha-ha.
Noisy, noisy!
Don't come!
Go away~
SFX: Chitter-chatter
Amatsukaze: What is this...

Panel 2
Amatsukaze: ...is this alright?
It's pretty obvious she doesn't like us around.
Yayoi: I wonder...

Panel 3
KTKM: If you keep being so noisy,
Ooicchi will come!
DDs: Gyaaa!
Amatsukaze: ...

Panel 4
KTKM: So,

Panel 5
KTKM: Why're you here?
Uzuki: We came to talk to an expert, pyon.
(Just sorta happened.)
KTKM: Oh?

Panel 6
Uzuki: You, of course, know all there is to know about torpedoes!
Overdoin' it with 40 torpedoes to either side!
You're a pro torpedoman, pyon!!
KTKM: Too much.

Panel 1
Satsuki: What're you growing here?
KTKM: Oh, this?

Panel 2
KTKM: Torpedo fruits~
Satsuki: Torpedo fruits!?

Panel 3
KTKM: I've been trying it for myself, see.
I guess you could say I'm obsessed with growing stuff now.
The sharpness of fresh stuff is just something else...
Uzuki/Tokitsukaze: Really...!?

Panel 4
KTKM: The flowers bloom in summer, and they're ready to harvest around fall.
The weather's been good this year,
so my dream octuple mount might finally bear fruit...
I'll have massive, 40 times 8 torpedo racks!
Tokitsukaze: No way!
Uzuki: Woah!

Panel 5
KTKM: There'd be a huge explosion if these things hit.
Enough to split the earth in two!
Uzuki/Tokitsukaze: Awesome!
Amatsukaze: Hey, what on earth is she saying?
Yayoi: It says "gourd" over here.

Panel 1
SFX: Waves

Panel 2
SFX: Nom-nom
KTKM: The best way to use torpedoes?

Panel 3
Amatsukaze: It's not easy landing hits.
Yayoi?: (Yeah.
It's tough.)

Panel 4
Tokitsukaze: Even after all that work carrying those heavy things,
they run past enemies allll the time.
It's a real downer~
Uzuki: Puuu~
KTKM: Well,
that's just how it goes.

Panel 5
KTKM: ...actually, hold up. Do you girls
always talk about so seriously?
Amatsukaze: No...
Not really...

Panel 6
KTKM: ...

Panel 1
Tokitsukaze: Woah...
Wooooooah...
SFX: Stagger
Shaking

Panel 2
Tokitsukaze: Torpedo...!
U-chan is now
an oxygen torpedo...!!

Panel 3
KTKM: How is it?
Are you starting to understand how a torpedo feels?
Tokitsukaze?: Oo... Ooph...?
Uzuki: I'm sorta
sorta getting how it feels, pyon...!!
KTKM: That so? Wow...

Panel 4
Tokitsukaze: To-Torpedo! Hey, torpedo!
Where do you want to go...!?
Uzuki: There!
Over there, pyon!
Tokitsukaze: Got it!

Panel 5
Tokitsukaze: Oryaaa!!
SFX: Fwump

Panel 1
KTKM: Well,
normally you don't understand.
the torpedo's feeling or anything.
Amatsukaze: Figures.

Panel 2
KTKM: Rather,
Get used to your torpedoes,
take care of them,
and live a life with torpedoes in your heart. That might be the secret.
Amatsukaze: I don't really get it...
(What you mean...)

Panel 3
KTKM: You aren't a torpedo cruiser like myself, built for preemptive torpedo salvos from extreme range.
You bustle about and destroy on the frontline.
That lifeline of yours
is in your names, destroyer.

Panel 4
KTKM: When the time comes,
I doubt you'll have the luxury to think,
"It's alright to miss."

Panel 2
Amatsukaze: I think I'll
have Akashi-san adjust it tomorrow after all.
Tokitsukaze: Ooh.
How motivated, Amatsukaze.

Panel 3
Amatsukaze: I'm not sure I got what she was saying...
But in the end,
whether I land hits or not is part of my daily life.
I think.

Panel 4
Amatsukaze: So I should do my best to always get it right.
Something like that.
Tokitsukaze: Is that really what she meant...?

Panel 5
Amatsukaze: Do your best in exercises too,
Rensouhou-kun.
Tokitsukaze: Fufun.
Shall I join you~?
SFX: Waves
