- Mogami: What exactly are we training on ice for?
- You've got permission from the Admiral and secretary ship?
- Nachi: Let me explain clearly.

- Maruyu: T-Training on ice?
- [Secretary Ship]
- Nachi: Yup, we need to save resources for the large-scale operation, right?
- I happened upon some ice skates the other day in the warehouse.
- I believe we can use them to train without sortieing or doing exercises.
- Maruyu: U-Understood. If it saves resources I think we can permit it.
- I'll report this to the Admiral when he returns, yes.
- Mamiya Rice Paddy
- Nachi: And so we got permission to fill the paddy with water and let it freeze.
- By training on ice you can acquire the good sense of balance that is so critical to shipgirls.

- Nachi: Additionally, it provides an opportunity to observe your posture as shipgirls.
- I hope you can also learn to project a sense of grace and elegance no matter the angle.
- [Flick]
- Mogami: Ice skating's a little scary, huh.
- (Whisper)
- Mikum: Y-Yeah.
- Mogami: Mikuma...?
- Nachi: There is nothing to be afraid of. It's no different from sailing at sea.
- In fact, it's simpler, as there are no waves on ice.
- [Crunch]
- Nachi: I shall serve as your role model! Behold!

- SFX: Flip
- Mogami: Nachi-saaaaan
- Nachi: Kuhhhhh...
- [Shaking]
- Hibiki: [Swoosh]
- Hibiki: [Slide]
- [Screech]

- Hibiki: Are you alright?
- Mogami: Hibiki-kun's a pretty good skater.
- Inazuma: Cool, nanodesu!
- Hibiki: Take it easy.
- Narration: Hibiki took Nachi's place in leading the training on ice.
- Hibiki: The drag from skating on ice is a little different from what you feel at sea.
- Without your rigging to drive you, you have to adjust how you propel yourself forward.
- First, you need to keep in mind your center of gravity while moving, or you'll lose balance. Be careful.
- [Gingerly]
- Ikazuchi: (It's line ahead.)

- Mogami: Nachi-san, that's pretty far from what I'd call elegant~!
- Nachi: What-
- [Pout]
- [Clench]
- Nachi: Oh!
- [Fwoosh]
- Nachi: S-Sorry...
- [Crash...]
- Ikazuchi: (Jeez jeez jeez!)
- Inazuma: (Hawawa...)
- Hibiki: Don't strain yourself too much, Nachi-san.

- Mogami: Mikuma,
- we should skate too.
- (Ahaha...)
- Mikuma: I-I don't want to!
- Don't get any closer, Mogamin!
- Mogami: (Eh?)
- Mikuma: We mustn't collide again. We should keep our distance.
- Mogami: ...
- R-Right...

- Page 94
- Mikuma: Ahh, Kumarinko, you dummy, dummy, dummy!
- Why'd you word it like that, you probably hurt Mogamin!
- Mogami: Mikuma... still haunted by that collision with me in the pa-
- DD: Mogami-saaaan!
- Raiden: Move, move!
- Mogamin: [Waaaaaah!]
- SFX: [Whoosh]

- page 95
- Mogami: That was clo-
- Nachi: Mogamiiiiiiiiii
- Nachi: S-Save meeeeeee!
- Mogami: Jeez, why's everyone diving toward me!?
- Nachi: Sorryyyyy!
- [Slam]
- Mogami: Wah!!
- (Mikumaaa!)
- Mikuma: Mogamin... I'm sorry.
- Eh!?
- [Slam]

- Page 96
- Mogami: Owowow...
- Mogami: Sorry... we collided again.
- Mikuma: [Snicker]
- Mikuma: Even when we try to stay apart, it's our destiny to come back together, huh, Mogamin?
- Mogami: Hah!
- Where's that from?
- Mikuma: (Ahaha)

- Page 97
- Houshou: Everyoooooone
- It's almost time to eat~!
- Nachi: Alright, that's it
- for today's training on ice.
- Inazuma: Okaaay!
- Mogami: I need to take a bath soon, or I'll be covered in bruises~!*
- (Whew)
- Nachi: Training on ice was quite worthwhile.
- Mogami: I guess~
- Mikuma: Mogamin!
- * This is a Japanese old wives' tale. Please use ice or cold water for fresh bruises, not heat.

- Mikuma: Let's go back together.
- Mogami: (Fufu.)
- Mogami: (I guess so.)
- Narration: And so the smiles came back to base.
- Narration: On the other hand, secretary ship Maruyu cried.
- Maruyu: This was supposed to save resources~
- (Waaah.)
- Nachi: Sorry, have some sweets.
- Maruyu: (Oh, yay!)
- Narration: But her mood quickly recovered.
