His First Absence
Panel 1
Akashi: We have to shut down the factory while the Admiral's away!?

Panel 2
Akashi: But I was told to have some development and construction running...
Shigure: It's alright.
The Admiral said to do as I saw fit, and it'd be a drain on our resources.

Panel 3
Shigure: The resources that are going to end up burnt on a big operation...	*Event
Akashi: Shigure-chan, are you upset!?

Panel 4
Akashi: Ah... well, I guess running the factory would be hard to do while he's gone...
(Shigure-chan might be right...)
Ooyodo: It is pretty easy to imagine him panicking over low resources.
Shigure: That's what I told him too.
(Sorry)

Panel 5
SFX: [Sneeze]

Panel 6
TTK: ?

The Conversations and Problems of Warships	*Iffy on the title here, seems almost Chinese
Panel 1
Tone: I was told you had the girls with less combat experience sent to Exercises.

Panel 2
Shigure: Yeah.
Looking at the fleet, there seemed to be gaps in proficiency, so...
SFX: Clack

Panel 3
Tone: No, I'm actually pleased you did.
The fleet composition right now is merely a reflection of the Admiral's tastes.
SFX: Clack

Panel 4
Shigure: ...

Panel 5
Tone: If everyone becomes strong, then this war will certainly...
Shigure: Check.
SFX: Clack

Panel 6
