Panel 1
Jintsuu: How did this happen...

Panel 2
Naka?: It's the Light Cruisers Finals of the Naval District Shipgirls Mahjong Tournament!
Sendai?: Here we have the first place winner of the Semifinals, player Jintsuu!
Naka?: What a dignified way to put it!
Jintsuu: I found myself playing mahjong.

Panel 3
Naka?: Player Jintsuu! Any comments?
Jintsuu: Uh...
I just found myself here, uhm...
Naka: Well then, let's keep moving!
Jintsuu: Naka-chan!?

Footnote: I'm Aoba! Thank you for your time! Today's the Mahjong Tournament! Today's another lively festival for the naval district! I'll be writing short reports on the event!

Panel 1
Jintsuu: What is this!?
Sendai: As you can see, this is the Mahjong tournament.
Naka: The Light Cruisers Finals!

Panel 2
Sendai?: Here at these Finals, the Data and Intuition Faction and the House of OHKO gather around a single table!
Come to think of it, what faction am I in...?
Naka?: The Fighter Faction!
Jintsuu: Ehh!?

Panel 3
Ooyodo: I've heard you performed quite a feat of valor at KoronePAIkara.	* Pai means tile; Koronehaikara was the Kancolle version (Fall 2015, E-2) of the Battle of Kolombangara [Koronbangara]
But I won't let that happen here,
Jintsuu-san.

Panel 4
Jintsuu: Ooyodo-san...
Ooyodo: Because in my hands, I wield a searchlight.	* Jintsuu's usage of searchlights at Kolombangara proved fatal
Jintsuu: You can't use that in mahjong, can you!?

Footnote: In so-called "Shipgirl Mahjong", using equipment is fine! So this type of mahjong isn't influenced by just luck! I'm... not actually any good at it, but, but! I don't run from it, usually!

Panel 1
Naka: Now let's go see how the heavy cruisers' and battleships' tables are faring!
Sendai: The most talented heavy cruisers are playing here.
Haguro: (My sisters are scary...)
Naka: While it's not very flashy, it looks like many of these girls can land solid hits!?

Panel 2
Sendai: In contrast, the fighting at the battleships' table was fierce!
Bismarck: Hold on! I don't know the rules yet!
Just go easy on me for a bi-
?: Ron!
?: Ron!!
Naka: Merciless, aren't they!

Panel 3
Nagato: In Shipgirl Mahjong, luck is still an important factor after all.
Naka: Nagato-san, who possesses both luck and skill, was the winner!

Panel 4
Nagato: Behold! The power of the Big Seven!
SFX: Slam
Sendai/Naka: That's just chiitoitsu!	* Seven pairs of tiles, not particularly hard to pull off

Footnote: By the way, Ashigara-san fought valiantly at the heavy crusiers' table, but it seems Tone-san prevailed. While she is skilled in her own right, it was playing while having fun that made her stronger, huh~

Panel 1
SFX: Whoosh

Panel 2
SFX: Pow-pow-pow-pow-pow-pow
Shoukaku: Why are we
fighting over air superiority in mahjong!?

Panel 3
Zuikaku: Why? Ask CarDiv 1, Shoukaku-nee!
SFX: [Screech]
Zuikaku: She's the one that started it!

Panel 4
Kaga: The player with air superiority gains the right to take tiles on the field-
It's common sense.
SFX: Pow-pow-pow-pow-pow-pow
Zuikaku: Play normally!

Footnote: Akagi-san stared at the mahjong tiles for some time, but after telling Kaga-san, "my tiles aren't made of bauxite", she ran off with her back hunched...

Panel 1
Bismarck: Goodness, what a rough time that was...
Eugen: Welcome back!
Max: No luck today either...?
Bismarck: Yeah, mahjong really is more fun when you play with people of the same skill level...

Panel 2
Bismarck: Wait,
Admiral!? Why's he here?	* "Admiral" in German, of course
Libe: Shh!

Panel 3
Libe: It seems they're using the office too,
so he doesn't have anywhere to rest.
Bismarck: Wouldn't it have been better not to hold this event then?

Panel 4
Eugen: Probably... it's like we shipgirls
have forgotten war thanks to the allure of a life of pleasure.
Blissfully playing mahjo-
Bismarck: There were carriers with aircraft deployed earlier.
SFX: Smash
Eugen?: I-I suppose they're quite spirited.

Footnote: Actually, it seems mahjong has spread to the homeland of Bismarck and co., but they're not used to the minor differences with our version yet. I'm... I'm sure it's rough on them.	* Any Germans know what she's talking about? Not aware of a German variant of mahjong

Panel 1
Mutsu: Oh my,
we don't meet often, do we?
Sign: Special Invitational
Taihou: So Mutsu-san was invited as well?
Mutsu: Yeah.
I heard there's a special room today.
Well, since they went through all this trouble

Panel 2
SFX: Creak
Taihou: (Indeed)
Mutsu: let's have a nice...

Panel 3
Yamashiro: Welcome,
to the table with an 80% draw rate.	* i.e. nobody wins in 80% of hands
Fusou: The sorrowful table where everyone's seen that luck, too, is an ability, yet none of us here have it, so there's no need to try for it. Welcome.

Panel 4
Fusou: Thank you very much for responding to our invitation today. By all means, let us play mahjo-
Mutsu: I-I think I'll go cheer on Nagato-nee...
Fusou: Er, I beg of you, won't you play even one game with us?
Taihou: T-the carrier aircraft maintenance...
Yamashiro: Such misfortune...

Footnote: Fusou-san and Yamashiro-san often sit together, but I rarely see them playing. I'm looking forward to being able to observe their talents next time! That's all from Aoba~!
