Chapter 20
The Admiral and his Reassuring Comrades

Page 92
Panel 1
TTK:　We’ve sortied there 15 times.

Panel 2
TTK:　Every sortie, we end up on a route not leading to the boss or are forced to withdraw by moderate or heavy damage along the way...
Battleships and carriers’ repairs take a long time and eat up resources too…

Panel 3
TTK: Okinoshima!!
SFX: Pang, clatter
TTK: It's so tough that...

Panel 4
TTK: it’d normally be impossible to do…
but now’s not the time to get on my knees.
(Too bad...)

Panel 5
Ikazuchi: Ah!
SFX: Shock
Inazuma: You musn’t!  * Ikenainodesu

Panel 6
Ikazuchi: Hey now!!
SFX: Tumble
TTK: We’re going to have to lay out some concrete goals!

Panel 7
Sign: Strategy Lecture Room
Kirishima: First, the westernmost route.

Panel 1/2
Blackboard: Okinoshima (Very Big Damage)  * Pun on big, “okii”
Kirishima: ...to start with, this route has 4 battles along the way, meaning fuel and ammo reserves may be exhausted.  * She literally says they depend on “the conditions in the sky”
On the other hand, even if we follow it all the way to the boss, actually sinking the boss then would be hard.
Continuing on, the central route will be handled by Akagi-san.
Nenohi: (How awful~)  *Moderately damaged line

Panel 3
Akagi: This route is guaranteed to end at the boss, but...
the northernmost route has a flagship carrier encounter... confronting her on the way would be dangerous.

Panel 4
Ise: ...which means that
TTK: The A or B routes are the most realistic, huh...

Panel 5
KTKM: But the compass... it never lets down these routes at all, does it…
Why does it always send us to the southwest corner~

Panel 6
KTKM: I'm tired of the flagship carrier there…
Makigumo: Commander-sama!

Panel 6
Makigumo: We shouldn’t rush! Patience is the key, patience!
TTK: Makigumo-chan!

Panel 1
Makigumo: You’ve met lots of shipgirls at the Nansei Islands!   * Map 2
Seems like you found me at the Eastern Orel Sea!  * Map 2-3

Panel 2
Shouhou: We could make a detour...
and even clear some quests, if we go to the Sea of the Bashi Islands, say, or... * Map 2-2

Panel 3
KTKM: Let’s sortie to the Eastern Orel Sea or something too.

Panel 4/5
Narration: The barrier that is Okinoshima...
capturing it slowly came to its conclusion...
TTK: -to get to Okinoshima’s boss, you have to survive a marathon of at least three battles.
TTK: I’ve been making Shouhou and Kitakami, whose max HP are low, fight...
Relying on evasion to advance makes me worry about a lack of consistency...

Panel 6/7
Kirishima: Ah...
Narration: At that moment!
Akagi: You’re...!

Panel 8
Mysterious Figure 1: Hey Kirishima! You served well as the vanguard for us sisters, ne~
From now on I’ll be with you too dess!
Mysterious Figure 2: Along with Akagi-san, I formed the backbone of the First Carrier Division...
and carried the fleet’s main airwing.  * Bit of a paraphrase of her library line

Panel 1
Kongou: Now that I’m here, the enemy fleet will face EXTERMINATION!
Kaga: Kaga, reporting in.
SFX: Ta-da!

Panel 2
Narration: At the Eastern Orel Sea and the Sea of the Bashi Islands, we welcomed our new comrades Kongou-san and Kaga-san, respectively!
TTK: The cool Kaga and the hot Kongou!
My mind's racing and my chest's burning up!
Fubuki: (Great, isn’t it♡)
TTK: I feel like we can do it now!

Panel 3
Okinoshima
SFX: Boom
TTK: Waah, even though it’s only been two battles!

Panel 4
Kaga: The Admiral really went and did it, commanding us to go despite how low our experience is.
Kongou: We can’t show off our POTENTIAL dess!
TTK: I’ll prepare to remodel ASAP…
(Sorry)
