Capturing a tough British ship!?

The Story So Far: Gambier Bay, Commandant Teste, and Tashkent stumble upon a "legendary bar" that once operated on base. While spreading word around the base that they have started their own bar, the three of them began to deepen their knowledge of alcohol... This is the story of their struggle to revive with their own hands this place where people once mingled and made memories.

Gamby: G-Good evening, Ark Royal-san.
Would you like something to drink?

Ark: Whatever you can make...
What do you have?

Gamby: I can make a gin and tonic, Commandant Teste-san can make a gin and tonic, or Tashkent-san can make a gin and tonic.
Ark: I don't care who, just get me the gin and tonic then.

Ark: Anyway, you sure have tidied the place up.
Tashkent: Eh?

Tash: So you've seen this place before we cleaned up?
Do you know about the legendary bar then, Ark Royal?

---

Ark:　I do not. * typo in the raws?
[Bam]
Tash: Uh, what?

Coma: Thank you for waiting.
Your gin and tonic.

Ark: A star-shaped cucumber...
Did you learn this recipe from someone?
Tash: Er, yeah!
So you do know about the legendary bar...

Ark: If you were taught the recipe, that must mean you already know the shipgirls ran a bar here.

Ark: I see...
Yes, I knew it well.

---

Ark: A bar's a bar, even if it's on base.
A bartender must deepen their knowledge of drinks and cocktails and their distinctive tastes to provide delicious drinks.
You girls don't know your alcohol well and can't make anything beyond the gin and tonic someone had to teach you.

Ark: When I heard you were opening a bar,
I considered working with you if this bar could be as good as before...
but in this situation

---

Ark: there is nothing I can teach you right now.
Thanks for the drink.

[Door shut]

Gamby: Ark Royal-san was right...
Coma: We were being naive, weren't we...

Tash: She really hits where it hurts...
Hey, Gambier Bay, Commandant Teste.

---

Tash: Let's drink.

[Let's Drink]

Coma: Ahh.
Oiu! Drink like a fish.
Tash: Not like that!
(Like a fish!?)
Coma: Meaning drowning our sorrows.

Tash: We don't know much about alcohol.
And there's no way we can serve drinks we don't know about.
I think we really ought to taste them for ourselves.

---

Coma: That does make sense.
Gamby: But there's so many types, where do we begin...?

Tash: What if each of us brings something we want to drink?
Coma: That sounds fun! Count me in.

Tash: Then let's do it!
Meet up at the lounge tomorrow!
Gamby: O-Okay!

Arsenal

---

Richelieu: French alcohol?

Coma: Oui!
Before we open the bar,
I'd like us all to get to know our drinks better.
What would you recommend?

Richelieu: Is wine no good?
Coma: Yes! We already drank it earlier.

---

Richelieu: You rarely drink anything besides wine.
Coma: Well, it's part of my bartender studies! ...oh, by the way

Coma: Richelieu, do you know about the legendary bar?

Coma: THE LEGENDARY BA
Richelieu: I do not.
I. DO. NOT!!

Coma: I see...

Coma: I made everyone matching Western uniforms.
Please drop by some time!
Akashi: (I will, I will!!)
Richelieu: Can't tell her I already saw...

---

Richelieu: Then how about calvados?
I have some in my room if you want.

Coma: Oui! Great idea!
Akashi: "Calvados"?
Richelieu: It's a brandy made from apples.

Richelieu: I'll go fetch them for Commandant Teste, please wait a moment.
Akashi: Understood!
Richelieu: Come with me, Commandant Teste.

Coma: Merci, Richelieu!
You'll be first on the invite list when we open the bar!

---

Richelieu: ...right.

Coma: Bonsoir, everyone!
I brought drinks as promised!
An apple brandy, made in France since the 16th century.
Gamby: Wow, there's an apple inside!
Tash: Hoh...

---

Coma: In the 19th century, France's vineyards were devastated by a grape infestation, making calvados a popular replacement for wine...
Tash: How did they get the apple in?

Tash: Like this!
(1) Encase the apple in a bottle before it grows
(2) Let it grow
Tash: Hoh...

Coma: Just as only sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region can be called champagne,
only apple brandy produced in the Normandy region is named calvados.

Coma: It gives off a wonderfully deep apple scent.

Gamby: It really does!

---

Coma: Without further ado,
cheers!

Gamby: ! Delicious!
[Yay]
Once you drink it, the scent of apples really blows up...!

Tash: It's sweet and delicious!
[Pop]
The mouthfeel is smooth and spectacular.

Coma: Calvados's great smell makes it a good dessert as well.
For example...

---

[Drizzle]
Tash: Ah, over ice cream?

[Nom]
Coma: I paired it with baked apples. GIve it a try.

Gamby: Delicious...
[Sob]
Coma: Calvados also pairs well with apple pie.
(I'll make it next time.)
Tash: It's almost criminally good...

Coma: Tashkent-san, what kind of drink did you bring?
Tash: Me?

Tash: Well I...
[Yesterday, Outside Naval Base Store]

---

Tash: I was the one that proposed this, but what should I even get?

Tash: If we're all drinking,
I guess it should be vodka? * водка?
I guess I'll ask Gangut.
Gamby: Tashukentosaaaaaaan

Tash: Did someone call for me just-
now!?
Gamby: Please save me, Tashkent-san!
Tash: Whaaaaaaaa-what, what, what!?

Gamby: I went to ask Iowa-san what we should all drink together
[Sob sob]
but that shipgirl was there, so I couldn't get close...
Tash: "That shipgirl"?

---

Tash: Someone from the Kurita Fleet, judging by your reaction?

Gamby: That's right!
She's with Yamato-san!

Tash: Why not try speaking with them normally?
Heeey, Yamato, Iowa!
Gamby: [Scream]

---

Tash: Yo! That's some fancy Sunday Best you two have there.
Iowa: Hi, Tashkent!
It's New Year's, so I figured the two of us could dress up.
Tash: You two look great!
By the way, we're looking for a drink right now...

Yamato: You, and who else...? It's just you, Tashkent-san.
Tash: ? What're you talking about, Yamato?
There's an escort carrier right-

Tash: here...
Scarecrow: Sorry Sorry Sorry

Tash: Eh- wait, Gambier Bay, where are you!?
Gamby: Over here, I'm alright.
Sorry... Kurita Fleet... too scary...
Tash: This doll-thing is way more scary!!

---

Tash: Sorry, the other one was far away.
Gambier Bay wanted to ask you about American alcohol, Iowa.
Iowa: American alcohol?

Iowa: Well, that'd ahve to be bourbon, I suppose?
I'll give it to Gambier later.
(When she's not so far)
Tash: Bourbon! American whiskey, right?

Yamato: If you're drinking, please enjoy these senmai-zuke.
Tash: Senmai-wha...?
Yamato: Ah, uhm...

Yamato: Pickled turnip.
It's a wonderful snack for drinking when paired with smoked salmon.
Tash: Ohh... that sounds delicious! Spasiba, you two! * Спаси́бо

Tash: So we ended up getting a ten year vintage Eagle Rare from Iowa
and senmai-zuke from Yamato.

---

Gamby: The Eagle Rare bottle is cool too, with an eagle and stars.
Coma: There really are!

Tash: This does smell great too
Coma: Something vanilla-like, very fragrant.

Tash: There's a slight sweetness to it. It's smooth, but there's a final crisp aftertaste.
Aha, this one's good and easy to drink!

Coma: The pickled snacks Yamato gave us are really good!
The smoked salmon and senmai-zuke go great together.

---

Coma: Having good drinks and snacks is the best, isn't it...
Gamby: Happiness...
Tash: Starting to feel sorta warm and fuzzy.

Gamby: [Bourbon Notes]
(By the way)
American whiskey production was started in the 18th century by Celtic immigrants from Scotland, Ireland, and such.
[Iowa State]
[Kentucky State]
One type of American whiskey, bourbon, is produced primarily in Kentucky.
There are various requirements, such as the grain mixture being at least 51% corn and the aging be done in new barrels.
Coma: Hehhh?

Coma: So talkative,
and yet you're that bad with the Kurita Fleet, Gambier Bay.
Gamby: Uh-

Coma: Ufufu, even though they're such good people.
Gamby: Ugh... I know, but...

---

Tash: Don't worry, you'll overcome it in time.
No need to rush.
Gamby: Tashkent-san...

Gamby: But but, I'm almost on good terms with Haguro-san!
Tash: Well isn't that wonderful!

Gamby: I can even greet her now
if I use my body double doll!
[Clench]
(Good Morning)
Tash: I told you, that thing's horrifying!

Coma: Coming up with all these ways just to greet someone.
You're so cute!
[Giggle]
[Giggle]
Gamby: Jeez, I'm being serious!
Tash: You can only say that cause you haven't seen that doll yet, Commandant Teste!

Tash: You wanna see it!?
Coma: Kyaaaaaaaaa, please stop!!!!!

---

Gamby: I didn't realize until now
Drinking good alcohol
with someone
is really fun.

Tash: Hey, next time I'll bring vodka.
Coma: We'd best start training on cocktails.
Gamby: I'll search for what we can make with these.

---

Ark: Heh.

Ark: Goodness, Richelieu, you spoil them so.
They wouldn't have gotten anywhere if I hadn't pushed-
Nelson: What're you smiling to yourself for?

Nelson: No way.
In the hallway?

Nelson: Is there something in the lounge?
Ark: Ahh, nothing, nothing!
Let's just go, okay!

Coma: Ufufu, so fun, isn't it~❤
Gamby: I can't anymore, I can't....
zzz...
Tash: Are you two calling it quits already? Can I have the rest?
Narration: A day spent deepening their knowledge♪
