Panel 1
Kinugasa: Hey, hey, Admiral!
Anything interesting going on at the base for Christmas today?

Panel 2
TTK: I heard Zara-kun and Prinz-kun were making the Christmas meals this year.
Kinugasa: Oh, wonderful!
Arashio: Italian and German ships? What a surprising combo.
TTK: They happened to meet while Christmas shopping, apparently.
Kinugasa: It's more than surprising. I don't think I've even seen the two of them talk before.
Hatsukaze: You think it'll work out?

Panel 1
TTK: It'll be fine, it's Christmas!
(Mhm)
Kinugasa: Yeah, yeah, it's Christmas!
Can't wait to feast~
Hatsukaze: How easygoing...

Panel 3
Prinz: Whew...
We bought a lot!
Zara: Yup!
Thank you for your assistance in making shopping in Japan a success, Prinz-san.
Who knows how things might have turned out without Prinz-san...
SFX: [Piled]

Panel 4
Zara: If it wasn't for Prinz-san's kindness, I might not have purchased anything at all...
(All these tomatoes...)
Prinz: It sure is tough dealing with Japanese and Yen, right~?

Panel 5
Prinz: Come to think of it,

Panel 6
Prinz: Why the politeness?

---

Page 44
Panel 1
Zara: Why, because Prinz-san is my senpai here, of course.
The German ships also project a cool image, so I felt speaking casually would be inappropriate...

Panel 2
Prinz: Cool?
(Including me!?)
Zara: Cool, yes, cool!
All of the Germans.

Panel 3
Prinz: Ahaha! Maybe compared to the Italian ships.
You guys have quite a loose image.
Zara: That's not all we are!

Panel 4
Prinz: Let's put that aside...
Even if we're from different countries, we're both heavy cruisers, so no need to be polite!
Kay?

Panel 5
Zara: Y-Yes...
I mean, sure!
SFX: Rattle

Panel 1
Italia: Is Zara-chan alright?
Roma: Why'd I get dragged into peeping...?
Bismarck: What're they saying? I can't hear a thing, so could you keep quiet?
SFX: Squeeze

Panel 2
Roma: Is she going to make Zara stuff her cooking with potatoes?
Bismarck: No way that's happening.

Panel 3
Bismarck: Prinz is usually a good girl.
Italia(?): So's Zara, then.
Bismarck: Two versus one isn't fair. I should call Graf.
SFX: Noise, noise
Kinugasa: !?

Panel 4
Prinz: You can't have a German Christmas without Stollen!
Second is probably spiced Lebkuchen, I suppose.
Zara: Tasty!
SFX: Beep, beep, beep

Panel 1
Zara: Is it done baking?

Panel 2
Prinz: Wow, roasted chicken!
Zara: We bought some very high quality chicken, after all.
Prinz: I guess we just had to roast it, then.

Panel 3
Zara: Next is Pasta Al Forno!
Made by baking pasta with meat sauce in the oven, then cooling it. It's delicious.

Panel 4
Zara: Now for roast beef.
SFX: Smug
Prinz: Wow, that looks luxurious!

Panel 5
Zara: Let's see if it's baked properly.
Prinz: (Shock)

Panel 6
Prinz: Ahh!?
Zara: [Shock]

Panel 7
Zara: What's the matter?
Prinz: The mashed potato's gotten really thick...

Panel 8
Prinz: What'll I do!? These are the potatoes Bismarck-neesama put so much effort to get shipped in!
Kinugasa: Shipped...
Potatoes...

Panel 1
Zara: Don't worry!
SFX: Slump

Panel 2
Zara: Leave these
potatoes to Zara!

Panel 3
Zara: If the mashed potato's gotten too thick,
it might not make for a good side anymore.
But you can put it on pizza dough like this,

Panel 4
Zara: add lots of veggies and cheese, and bake.
Now you've got a potato and veggie pizza!
See?
SFX: Ta-dah

Panel 6
Prinz: Wahhhh, thank you!
SFX: Hug

Panel 7
Zara: Don't worry.
You helped me a lot today.
I'm glad I could be of hel- er, I mean, I'm glad.

Panel 1
Prinz: But I didn't do anything!
Zara: You invited me to join you this morning, didn't you?
I actually always wanted to talk with you, but I never did get the chance.
So I'm really happy you invited me to help throw a party.
You could call it a Christmas gift from heaven.

Panel 2
Zara: Oh? Is something the matter?
Prinz: N-Not really.
I'm thankful as well.
(Typical Italians...)
SFX: Blush

Panel 3
Prinz: I-It's almost time for dinner!
Zara: Woah, you're right.
We need to call everyone.

Panel 4
Kinugasa: Wow, incredible!

Kinugasa: Did you two make all of this!?
TTK: A gift.

Chitose: (Shochu)
Pola: (Whiskey)

Panel 2
Kinugasa: Looks delicoius~

Panel 3
Italia: Looks like the two've really opened up to each other.
Guess there was nothing to worry about.

Everyone: Yeah!

Panel 5
?: Well then,
Merry Christmas!
