Part 1: Kaga

Page 5
Panel 1
Narration: Those children have it all...


Panel 3
Everything I wanted.


Panel 4
They're real sisters. They were designed so that they would launch as the most state-of-the-art carriers of their time, superior to their predecessors...
Kaga (thought): I, on the other hand... in the end, I'm just a replacement.

Page 6
Panel 1
Kaga (thought): Originally, Amagi was the one that was supposed to be here, but...
*Note that Amagi is glossed "ano hito" in this line to emphasize Kaga's discomfort

Kaga (thought): That'd be meaningless, even if productivity weren't an issue(?)

Narration: I know I hate thinking like this, and yet...


Panel 2
Kaga: Low speed, poor fuel economy...

Narration: On days like this, I only think of my bad points...
It gets more and more painful


Panel 3
Kaga: I really am useless...

Narration: But...

Akagi: Found you!

---
Page 7
Panel 1
Akagi: Kaga-san!

Panel 2
Kaga: ...

Panel 3
Kaga: Something the matter?
Akagi: Lend me your ear for a moment!

Panel 4
Narration: She said..."she likes me".

---
Page 8
Panel 1
Narration: Ah, I hate this!
*Iyada, kiraida!

Panel 2
Narration: For both of our sakes...

Panel 3
Narration: I musn't get carried away(?). She's not speaking seriously.

Panel 4
Narration: She's so nice, clever, and bright...
From my appearance, she must've realized...

Panel 5
the words I wanted to hear and said them to me.

Kaga: You're always teasing me like that...
Akagi: Eeeh!?

---
Page 9
Panel 1
Akagi: I'm serious, you know!
Akagi: I like you, Kaga-san! Really!

Panel 2
Kaga: You're just saying that because I looked depressed, right? I appreciate it.

Panel 3
Akagi: Ugh, I wonder how I could get you to believe me.
Kaga: You say it so frequently to me that...
(Well, how could I believe you?)
Akagi: Eh!?

Panel 4
Akagi: I wish you'd believe me. But rather than getting my feelings across to you...
Akagi: I've said the same thing so often it's become trite...is that what you're saying? I see...

Narration: Ah, I hate this...

---
Page 10
Panel 1
Narration: She's always so straightforward...
Akagi: I wonder if I should I be a bit more prudent...

Panel 2
Narration: I should pretend to believe her...

Panel 3
Kaga: Akagi-san is so clever...
Akagi: Eh!? Eh!? What are you suddenly...
Kaga: So,

Panel 4
Kaga: You actually understand right? That I'm uncomfortable around you...
Narration: No, this isn't what I actually wanted to say...

---
Page 11
Panel 2
Narration: Wrong, wrong...
These aren't the words I wanted to say..

Panel 3
Akagi: ...sorry.
Kaga (thought): Wro-
SFX: Surprise

Panel 4
Akagi: Even so, I still like you, Kaga-san.

Panel 5
Kaga: Oh...

---
Page 12
Panel 1
Narration: I hate it, I hate it.
She's so clever and bright, she must have noticed how I really feel.
It hurts...

Panel 2
Kaga (thought): But I mustn't show it...!
Kaga: "Uncomfortable"...was just a figure of speech.
Sorry.
Akagi: Is that so? Great!
SFX: I see~

Part 1: End

Part 2: Prayers

Page 15
Panel 1
SFX: Clap Clap (Shinto prayer)
Akagi: ...
Kaga: Akagi-san...what are you doing?

Panel 2
Akagi: I want to become closer to Kaga-san!
Kaga: Okay...?

Panel 3
Akagi: Well, you see, Ooi-san said...
Ooi: It seems that Kaga-san's predecessors set up some kind of shrine for divine match-making fulfillment(?).

Panel 4
Ooi: So every day I pray towards Kaga-san to get even closer to Kitakami-san♥~
Akagi: ...is what she said.
Kaga: ...

Panel 5
Kaga: Sometimes I'm still impressed by the level of Ooi-san's obsession.
*Talking something about Ooi's "sweets reception", I have no idea.

---
Page 16
Panel 1:
Akagi: I wonder if my wish will come true...
Kaga: Well...

Panel 2:
Akagi: Ah, right! Since we're already so close, maybe I should change my wish!
Kaga: ...I'm looking forward to it.

Panel 3:
Akagi: Then, how about this?
I wish I could marry Kaga-san!

Panel 4:
Kaga: ...

Panel 5:
Kaga: Please don't tease people so much...
You're going too far

Akagi: Hey, I'm being serious~

Part 2: End

Part 3: A Change in Feeling

Page 17
Panel 2
Kaga: You're quite delighted...
Akagi: Yeah!

Panel 3
Akagi: Taking part in victory really is a great feeling!
Kaga: Akagi-san...aren't you always MVP?

Panel 4
Akagi: Arrogance is our greatest enemy!
We should always strive to be vigilant and improve ourselves.
That way, nothing is hard to bear...that's how I became MVP!

Panel 5
SFX: Content sigh

---
Page 18
Panel 1
Akagi: Ah!
Kaga: ?
SFX: Surprise

Panel 2
Akagi: Kaga-san was smiling just now!
Kaga: Huh?

Panel 3
Kaga: I-I smile sometimes too...

Panel 5
Akagi: Good, good! Oh, I know...
Kaga: ...?

---
Page 19
Panel 1
Akagi: Let's celebrate tonight!
Kaga: Again with that talk...you're overreacting.

Panel 2
Akagi: I am NOT overreacting~
Kaga: Right, right...

Part 3: End

Part 4: Misconception
Page 21
SFX: Exhaustion
SFX: Konk

Panel 2
Akagi: A little pick-me-up.
Kaga: ...Akagi-san...

Panel 3
SFX: Waves

---
Page 22
Panel 2
Akagi: Kaga-san...

Panel 3
do you dislike me?

Panel 4
Kaga: ...

Panel 5
Akagi: Well, even if you do, it's fine.
Kaga: Huh?

Panel 6
Akagi: You see, if it's not a problem...I just wanted to know why.

---
Page 23
Panel 1
Kaga: Well, you see, it's because you're carefree, beautiful, quick-witted...perfect.

Panel 2
Akagi: Uh...you're praising me...?

Panel 3
Kaga: So when we're together, I always have the misfortune of seeing how worthless I am.
>implying it's not actually the Dr. Pepper can talking

Panel 4
Kaga: I don't dislike Akagi so much as I dislike myself...is what I think.

Panel 7
Kaga: ...on top of that, I have no excuse for a gloomy person like me, who only sees herself in such a negative light, to be by your side.

---
Page 24
Panel 1
Akagi: Hmm...that's all because you see me as perfect...right?

Panel 2
That would just be because I only show my good side to you.
Kaga: ...

Panel 3
.....

Panel 4
Akagi: Hmm...

Panel 5
Right...what Kaga-san stated is indeed depressing...uh...
Negative, huh? You know, I already concluded I wanted to support you where you seemed most fragile.

Panel 6
That is to say...it's good that you showed your dark side(?).
In hindsight, at least.
Kaga: ...
SFX: Waves

---
Page 25
Panel 2
Akagi: Or rather, I like you, Kaga-san, even your gloomy side.

Panel 4
Akagi: That's how it is.
Kaga: Then, it was right of me to explain...
Akagi: Yeah!

Panel 5:
Kaga: Ugh, no, it hurts...

---
Page 26
Panel 1
SFX: Crack

Panel 2
Kaga: A person like this...
SFX: Crack, crack...

Panel 3
SFX: Embarassed

Panel 4:
SFX: Crush
Akagi: Kaga-san!?
Kaga (thought): Isn't this talk of liking me just unreasonable!?
Kaga: Oh...

Part 4: End

---
Part 5: Reasons

Page 27
Panel 2
Akagi: Is something the matter? You look troubled...
Kaga: No...nothing's wrong.

Panel 3
Akagi: When you don't say anything, it usually means there's something the matter, right?
Kaga: ...
Akagi: Won't you confide in me?

Panel 4
Kaga: Well, actually...

Panel 5
Someone: Why we...fight?

Panel 6
Kirishima: Yeah!

---
Page 28
Panel 1
Kaga: The enemy overcomes all conventional weapons. There must be a reason.

Panel 2
Akitsumaru: Kaga-san has a surprising amount of brain mass!
Kaga: Brain...mass...?
*Akitsumaru means Kaga has put a surprising amount of thought into this

Panel 3
Akigumo: Oh, don't worry about it.
Kaga: ?

Panel 4
Kirishima: Let's return to the topic at hand!
Right...so Kaga-san thinks something is strange?

Panel 5
Kaga: ?

Panel 6
Imuya: Well, weapons that look like girls are being used to kill creatures that look like girls, right?

Panel 7
Akigumo: Ah, I see we've jumped to ethics or something?
Seems interesting.
SFX: Whoa, whoa

---
Page 29
Panel 1
Akitsumaru: The thing is, we also have to take into account attacking those girl-like creatures with armies or weapons.
If we're talking ethics, that is.
*Akitsumaru says something about "visual", but searching that only turned up visual kei so I have fucking idea.
Akigumo: Well, yeah...

Panel 2
Kaga: I always have my hands full with my own matters...but everyone has put a lot of thought into this, huh...

Panel 3
Kirishima: Regardless, there must be a reason why us shipgirls are necessary, right?
SFX: Shine

Panel 4
Kaga: And, that reason is...?
Kirishima: Hm? Who knows?
Kaga: Eh!?

Panel 5
Akigumo: It's because we don't know that we're considering various people's opinions you know~
Kaga: I-I see...

---
Page 30
Panel 1
Akitsumaru: At first glance, the Abyssal ships are the same lifeforms as us.
In fact, we resemble projections of thought - that is to say, "ghosts".
If we weren't so similar, searching and destroying them would be impossible.

Panel 2
However, my hypothesis is that we're not truly the same kind of projection.
Instead, we shipgirls are the embodiments of the regrets of fleets of times past...
It's a little romatic, I think!
SFX: Entranced

Akigumo: Well..you certainly look the part...
You have the delusional thinking down too...

Panel 3
Akigumo: Actually, if that were the case, wouldn't the alternative be cooler?
That we were made using Abyssal ships as the base?
Akitsumaru: Interesting...

---
Page 31
Panel 1
Akigumo: We'd have the form of girls because our base is the Abyssal ships.
Of course we wouldn't be so different from them; we're just knockoffs!
SFX: What about this?

Panel 2
Kirishima: Then is there an explanation for why our forms resemble past fleets?

Panel 3
Akigumo: There...is. It'd have to be something Eve-like.
Kirishima: Eba?
Akigumo: It'd be like an armored version of the origin of life, Eve.

Panel 4
Imuya: If that were true, then would the Abyssal Fleet correspond to Adam or Lilith?
Kaga: A...

---
Page 32
Panel 1
Kaga: Adamu?
Kirishima: Ririsu?
Akigumo: Ah, uh...

Panel 2
Well, we first talked about what the abyssal fleet was.

Panel 3
Kaga: Right.
Kirishima: Indeed, we don't even know why they came and attacked.
Akigumo: Right?

Panel 4
Imuya: Invaders from space? Ancient Weapons once submerged in the seabed?
How're those?

Panel 5
Akigumo: Yeah, yeah! How romantic...

Panel 6
Akitsumaru: I'd actually like to explain the Abyssal fleet, returning to my theory that we embody the regrets of past fleets!
Akigumo: Oh?

---
Page 33
Panel 1
Akitsumaru: It's the Abyssal shipgirls that are the regrets of sunk fleets, carrying on today as grudges!
Kaga: ...
Akigumo: Nice! I like this even more than your spirit theory from earlier!

Panel 2
Kaga: To summarize, the enemy was born from past ships, and we were born from the enemy...right?
Akigumo: Right~

Panel 3
Kaga: Uh...
Akigumo: Don't worry too much about it, these were just our idle thoughts~
Kaga-san is so studious!

Panel 4
Akigumo: But if our roots were really so, then, going back to the beginning of our conversation...
Girls killing girls...don't we lack a sufficient ethical reason to do so?
I wonder?

---
Page 34
Panel 1
Akigumo: For the most part, the Abyssal girls that serve as our base would have no idea...right...
*Abyssals here glossed as "the other party"

Panel 2
Imuya: Hey!
Akigumo: Yeah...sorry.

Panel 3
Imuya: In our position, we can't think like that, can we?
Akigumo: Basically, it'd be better to fight without thinking?
Imuya: Yeah.
(Our conversation came to this...)

Panel 4
Akigumo: B-but thinking more and more about this really does become a burden, huh~

Panel 5
Akitsumaru: If you think about it...
People like us and organs that look like us(?)...
if you include that knowledge...
might it serve as an advantage to us, in our role as weapons?
Akigumo: R-right!

---
Page 35
Panel 1
Akigumo: Kirishima-san, what do you think!?
Kirishima: Ah, well, if the mind and body...that is, if the system that accepts orders is directly connected to the part that executes them...
The response time would be improved by an order of magnitude...
Superior combat performance both above and below water...
One could determine whether Abyssal ships are present...
All of that could be done...I guess?

Imuya: Right...

Panel 2
Imuya: Well, rather...
what if we're actually virtual existences, without any true purpose - girls that fight for entertainment and offer contentment?

Maybe we're like yachts, made to console the filthy rich...

Panel 3
Akigumo: That! That's good!
Imuya: Right?

---
Page 36
Panel 1
Kirishima: What do you think of that, Kaga-san?
Kaga: Eh!?

Panel 2
Kaga: Eh, uh...

Panel 3
Akagi: ...I see.

Panel 4-5
Kaga: The discussion was certainly preposterous and full of outlandish ideas...
It seems that we can't find a reason to fight from discussion.

---
Page 37
Panel 1
Kaga: Akagi-san...what do you think?

Panel 2
Akagi: ...

Panel 3
...well...

Panel 4
What Akigumo-san suggested makes some sense...
That we were built from the Abyss, or that we originate from past fleets, or that we're externally armored or something?
*Akagi doesn't really get it.
Kaga: Yeah.

---
Page 38
Panel 1
Akagi: I just think that, despite the fact we're weapons of war...

Panel 2
we can think about these things and feel.

Panel 3
...are we actually creatures without a sense of self?
*The kanji for creatures here is glossed as "things".

---
Page 39
No, that can't be right.
Irregulars born with a sense of self...
You might say that such defections would be kept isolated at this very Naval District...

---
Page 40
Panel 1
Kaga: What you just said was hypothetical...right?
Akagi: Yeah, I don't really think that's the case.

Panel 2
Kaga: Despite all this unrealistic talk...

Panel 3
I have this strange sense of foreboding...

Panel 4
because I know that Akagi-san isn't the type to say meaningless lies and jokes.

(Part 5) End

Omake: Back on Subject

Page 42
Panel 1
Kaga: It seems like everyone avoids me in the summer
(Not unreasonable...)

Panel 2
But...
SFX: Glance

Panel 3
SFX: Smile
Kaga: ...

Panel 4
Akagi: During the summer, I get Kaga-san for myself!
Kaga: I don't...dislike summer

Box: Winter
Akagi: My Kaga-san is a popular person!
Bottom Text: Anyway she's naive about love (throughout the year)
