Maizuru Naval District Anthology, Volume 9, Chapter 12
Title: When She Got Serious
* A reference to Hatsuyuki's night attack and MVP lines. There's also a particle pun here involving wo ヲ (the carrier's name) substituting for wo を (the grammar particle).

Panel 2
Ayanami: H-Hatsuyuki-chan... that head...
Miyuki: It's the head of that Wo-class carrier!
Hatsuyuki: Heavy.

Panel 3
Miyuki: My Miyuki Special made that Wo-class jump in surprise, and by chance her rigging flew off and slipped right onta Hatsuyuki's head!
SFX: Slip
Ayanami: Hurry up and get it off her!
Miyuki: We tried to knock it and pull on it, but it wouldn't come off. And anyway...

Panel 4
Miyuki: This is our lucky break... just imagine what a carrier-destroyer hybrid could pull off!?	* Typo in the original Japanese here, unless Miyuki was really supposed to say "doggie"
Ayanami: That's way too positive a train of thought...

Panel 5
Miyuki: It's all good if ya look at it that way. You'll be fine even if we leave it on, right!?
Right?
SFX: Push

Panel 1
Hatsuyuki: Ah, Miyuki, hold up...

Panel 2
Hatsuyuki: I got a whole bunch of discount karaoke tickets from Ashigara-san.
Wanna go with me when we get the chance?
Miyuki: Huhh!?

Panel 3
Miyuki: No way... Hatsuyuki, who stubbornly turns down any invites to karaoke and, even if you force her to go, won't sing a single song or stop playing her handheld games in the corner... that same Hatsuyuki is inviting ME...
I can't believe it...
Shikinami: She's changed...

Panel 4
Hatsuyuki: With this thing stuck on my head, I always feel like I'm brimming with power...
Having everyone's eyes on me these days feels great...

Hatsuyuki: I hope this lasts forever.

Panel 1
Narration: One Month Later

Panel 2
Miyuki: Hatsuyuki... that thing on your head's no good after all, isn't it?
You've drunk nothing but sea water this past week...
Hatsuyuki: I'm fine... this is the best time of my life...
Wo.

Panel 3
Hatsuyuki: !!

Panel 4
Miyuki: Hey... it'd definitely be better if we got that thing off you somehow...
Shikinami: Yeah! No matter how strong you are, if your body falls apart...
Hatsuyuki: I'm feeling just greaaaaaaaat though.
Wo.
Wo.
Akashi: I heard about what's going on.

Panel 5
Shikinami?: Akashi-san!
Miyuki?: Where'd you come from?
Akashi: Based on what I've seen...
Some kind of signal emanating from that rigging on her head is influencing Hatsuyuki-chan's body...

Panel 6
Akashi: It's likely that her assimilation will continue, and there's a risk both her mind and body will	become like an abyssal's...
Miyuki: S-seriously?
※Hypothetical

Panel 1
Miyuki: I-is there a way to get that thing off her head...?
Akashi: Right, well... the one way that might work...
would probably be dismantling.

Big Text: Dismantling

Panel 3
Miyuki: You... damn... you're a repair ship, shouldn't you have a better solution than that!?
SFX: Gah
Shake, shake
Shikinami: Miyuki!

Panel 4
Hatsuyki: No...
Dismantling... I definitely can't... wo... wo...
Not being able to fight alongside everyone... I can't...
Miyuki: Hatsuyuki...

Panel 5
Hatsuyuki: Even if I become weak! Even if I lose my bright personality! Even if nobody spoils me anymore, it's okay!!
Just... turn me back to normal...!!

A fair-skinned and really beautiful lady... do you know her?
