  9. The Story So Far: Gambier Bay, Commandant Teste, and Tashkent learned of a "legendary bar" that once operated on base. But in the process of deepening their knowledge of alcohol, Commandant Teste and Tashkent ended up in an argument. Gambier navigates through twists and turns, her heart filled with resolve to mend their relationship...
  10.  
  11. Their words contradict their feelings...
  12. Chitose: It seems like
  13. things are not going well for those three.
  14.  
  15. Richelieu: ...are you asking what I think?
  16.  
  17. Chitose: I just thought you might be interested.
  18.  
  19. Richelieu: ...it has nothing to do with me.

  29. Gamby: [Thud thud THUD]
  30.  
  31. Littorio: She was so down just a while ago-
  32. Roma: Gambier-chan sure is full of motivation today.
  33.  
  34. Gambier: That's right, Littorio-san!
  35. That's right, that's totally right!
  36. [Thud thud]
  37.  
  38. Gambier: Today's the day I'll call Tashkent-san and Commandant Teste-san to the bar
  39. and definitely set things straight!

  44. Gamby: Hello!!
  45. [Bang]
  46.  
  47. Gamby: Are Tashkent-san or Commandant Teste-san here!?
  48. Gotland: They aren't.
  49.  
  50. Gamby: Hello!!
  51. [Bang]
  52.  
  53. Gamby: Are Tashkent-san or Commandant Teste-san here!?
  54. Kashima: I haven't seen them...
  55.  
  56. Gamby: Hello!!
  57. [Bang]
  58.  
  59. Gamby: Are Tashkent-san or Commandant Teste-san here!?
  60. Isuzu: They ain't here.
  61. Gamby: Also, where is this?
  62. Isuzu: Do you still not know your way around base!?
  63.  
  64. ---
  65.  
  66. Page 85
  67. Gamby: I can't even find them...
  68. [Sad...]
  69.  
  70. Gamby: Actually
  71. Didn't Commandant Teste say that...
  72.  
  73. Coma: If there's something you want to know on base, the first person you should ask
  74. is the secretary ship!
  75. Gamby: Secretary ship Haguro-san should actually
  76. know all the shipgirls' plans...
  77.  
  78. Gamby: But... Haguro-san... the Kurita Fleet...
  79. Talking to her alone is still sc-
  80.  
  81. [Gulp]
  82.  
  83. Gamby: I already told myself things can't go on like this!

  88. Gamby: It'll be fine!
  89. Sign: Admiral
  90.  
  91. Gamby: [Boom]
  92.  
  93. Haguro: Commandant Teste is in the middle of a sortie in the southwestern islands,
  94. and Tashkent-san has been docked.
  95.  
  96. Haguro: I-I think they're free this evening.
  97. But why are you asking about their plans?
  98.  
  99. Haguro: Did something happen?
  100.

  103. Page 87
  104. Gamby: Uhm, the two had a bit of a fight.
  105. Haguro: Oh my.
  106. Gamby: I thought I'd call them and patch things up.
  107.  
  108. Haguro: You, Gambier-san...?
  109. Gamby: Y-Yes.
  110.  
  111. Gamby: Like my usual self, I thought...
  112. I'd just wait until they figured things out on their own.
  113. But I realized I'd regret it later if this kept going.
  114. So I've decided to do what I can now.
  115.  
  116. Haguro: Gambier Bay-san seems
  117. just a little more dependable now.
  118.  
  119. Gamby: Maybe I'm just being nosy.
  120. For someone like me to intrude on...
  121.  
  122. ---
  123.  
  124. Page 88
  125. Haguro: Y-
  126. You're not!!
  127. [Slam]
  128.  
  129. Gamby: Heh?
  130.  
  131. Haguro: You three seemed to be having so much fun together lately.
  132. Tashkent-san and Commandant Teste-san
  133. would both be happy to know you at least wanted everyone to get along again!
  134.  
  135. Haguro: "Someone like me"? I know how you feel, I do,
  136. but that's not being nosy at all!
  137. I'll be cheering you on from here!
  138.  
  139. Gamby: Haguro-san...
  140.  
  141. ---
  142.  
  143. Page 89
  144. Haguro: I-I'm so sorry for raising my voice...!
  145. I couldn't help but see my old self in you, Gambier-san!
  146. Gamby: N-No worries! Uhm... please don't worry about it!
  147.  
  148. Gamby: Haguro-san... Thank you...
  149. [Bow]
  150. Haguro: I haven't seen her face once today,
  151. but do your best, Gambier-san...!
  152.  
  153. Gamby: I can speak normally even with Haguro-san if I use a puppet.
  154. Maybe I really can overcome the Kurita Fleet?
  155. (She even cheered me on.)
  156.  
  157. Gamby: Once the bar's open, I have to make sure as customers they-
  158. ?: [Shake]
  159.  
  160. Gamby: Let me help you with that!
  161. [Hup]
  162. ?: Ohh, you're a lifesaver!
  163.

  167. Maya: Thanks!
  168. (Kurita Fleet)
  169.  
  170. [Drop]
  171. [Crash]
  172.  
  173. Gamby: But I still can't take a surprise attack, I can't I can't I can't~!!
  174. Maya: Oy, get back 'ere!!
  175. Gamby: (I made sure to apologize later.)
  176.

  180. Coma: The bar, tonight...?
  181. Very well, I shall come by.
  182. Will Tashkent-san be with us as well?
  183.  
  184. Tashkent: Alright, tonight then.
  185. Commandant Teste's coming too, right...?
  186.  
  187. Gamby: Okay.
  188. Thanks to Haguro-san
  189. I managed to get the two of them to come to the bar.
  190.  
  191. Gamby: Now's the important part...!
  192. [Clench]

  196. Page 92
  197. Gamby: (I'll do everything I can!)
  198.  
  199. Chitose: Too worried to resist checking in, huh?
  200. Ark/Richelieu: Pipe down, will you?
  201. [Whispering]
  202. Chitose: They never were meek ones...
  203.  
  204. Chitose: But anyway,
  205. what is that girl doing when it's just herself?
  206.  
  207. Chitose: ...! That's...
  208. Ark: Must be Blue Curaçao and an American craft gin.
  209.  
  210. Chitose: She's making a cocktail.
  211. A shaken one, at that.
  212.  
  213. ---
  214.  
  215. Page 93
  216. Gamby: 30 mL of Blue Curaçao.
  217. 15 mL of dry gin and lemon juice each.
  218.  
  219. Gamby: Then add an egg white to the shaker,
  220. and I think the book said to shake then?
  221.  
  222. Chitose: Wait,
  223. does that girl know how to use a shaker?
  224.  
  225. Richelieu: ...don't know.
  226.  
  227. Ark: Well, it seems she has read up on it at least.
  228.  
  229. Ark: Ah...
  230. That face screams that she has no idea how...
  231.  
  232. ----
  233.  
  234. Page 94
  235. Richelieu: Let's write her a note.
  236. Ark: Got it.
  237. Chitose: Again...
  238.  
  239. [Drift]
  240. Gamby: ! That's
  241. the same weird note that saved us with the gin and tonic!
  242.  
  243. Gamby: I'm so thankf-
  244. [Unfold]
  245. Note: How to Hold a Shaker

  250. Gamby: Fweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, I don't understand a thing!
  251. [Sob]
  252. Ark: She's crying.
  253.  
  254. Richelieu: We have no choice. Chitose, hand over that thing you use to tie your hair.
  255. Chitose: Eh?
  256. Richelieu: Let's go, Ark Royal.
  257.

  259.  
  260. Page 95
  261. Gamby: (Noooooooooooo!)
  262. What!? What is this, this!?
  263. I can't see!
  264. Richelieu: Please quiet down.
  265.  
  266. Gamby: [Gasp]
  267.  
  268. Gamby: I
  269. I've got it!!
  270.  
  271. ---
  272.  
  273. Page 96
  274. Gamby: Now I just need to shake it.
  275. ...ah.
  276.  
  277. Gamby: Thank you very much
  278. whoever wrote the memos...
  279. Richelieu/Ark: [Phew]
  280. Chitose: "Phew"? I don't think that's quite...
  281.  
  282. [Chop chop]
  283.  
  284. [Whew]
  285.  
  286. Gamby: I hope Tashkent-san and Commandant Teste-san will enjoy it...
  287.  
  288. Tashkent: Here, Gambier Bay!
  289. Gamby: Ah, okay!
  290.  
  291. ---
  292.  
  293. Page 97
  294. Tashkent: Hey.
  295. It's been a while since I've come down here, huh?
  296. Gamby: Thank you so much for coming!
  297. Coma: You mentioned some... very important business?
  298.  
  299. Gamby: I, I wanted to let you two know what I thought about the bar...
  300. What kind of place I want to run,
  301. What kind of cocktails to make - all of that and more.
  302.  
  303. Gamby: I had a lot of ideas, but in the end I couldn't decide on any.
  304. ...but I know that whatever we go with,
  305. it won't change the fact the three of us need to work hard together.
  306.  
  307. Gamby: So to help me tell you two that, Tashkent-san, Commandant Teste-san,
  308. I made a cocktail.
  309.  
  310. ---
  311.  
  312. Page 98
  313. Gamby: The Blue Lady.
  314.  
  315. Coma: Wow...!
  316. That's such a beautiful cocktail.
  317.  
  318. Tashkent: ...sky blue.
  319.  
  320. Gamby: I worried about what cocktail to make.
  321. To express the three of us being together,
  322. I thought I'd put in a little bit of different things...
  323.  
  324. Gamby: The appearance is like the "sky blue cruiser", Tashkent-san.
  325.  
  326. ---
  327.  
  328. Page 99
  329. Gamby: This is the French Marie Brizard, made from dried orange zest soaked in wine and brandy. After distillation, it's given the coloring that earns it the name Blue Curaçao.
  330. Marie Brizard was founded in 1755 in Bordeaux and is France's oldest distillery.
  331. It's a very storied brand.
  332.  
  333. Gamby: This is an American craft gin.
  334. It's made purely from organic ingredients from contracts with local farmers.
  335. It has the taste of both bitter gin and sour citrus,
  336. making it a gin with a powerful aroma.
  337.  
  338. Gamby: French liqueur
  339.  
  340. Gamby: and American alcohol
  341.  
  342. Gamby: in a beautiful blue cocktail...

  349. Coma: !
  350. The taste is mellow and delicious!
  351.  
  352. Tash: It's sweet, but the sourness from the lemons make it refreshing to drink.
  353.  
  354. Tash: ...there's a star, too.
  355. Gamby: Remember when the three of us made that gin and tonic,
  356. and we cut up cucumbers into star shapes? For some reason that really stuck with me.
  357.  
  358. Tashkent: Sorry!
  359. [Shock]
  360.  
  361. ---
  362.  
  363. Page 101
  364. Tash: I just got stubborn for no reason.
  365. I should've just apologized back then. There's never been a good time since-
  366. Coma: N-No, I should've!
  367. I was all flustered and said something selfish, that I immediately regretted...
  368.  
  369. Coma: I'm sorry!
  370.  
  371. [Puff]
  372. Gamby: Their hats...
  373.  
  374. Tash: And sorry, Gambier Bay!
  375.  
  376. Tash: We were the ones that fought, but you're the one that brought us back together.
  377. And on top of that, you even made such a beautiful and tasty sky blue cocktail.
  378.  
  379. Tash: Honestly, I'm overjoyed.
  380. Thank-
  381.  
  382. Tash: ?!
  383.

  385.  
  386. Page 102
  387. Gamby: Thank goodness...
  388.  
  389. Gamby: Ever since I found the recipe
  390. I was so worried I couldn't pull it off.
  391. Thankfully there were so many people supporting me.
  392.  
  393. Gamby: I was so worried,
  394. I'm glad I came through..
  395.  
  396. ---
  397.  
  398. Page 103
  399. Coma: Oui!
  400.  
  401. Coma: Thanks to you, Gamby-san,
  402. the three of us are back together.
  403.  
  404. Gamby: Commandant Teste-san, did you say "Gamby"...?
  405. Coma: I've always wanted to say it, thought it sounded cute.
  406. Should I not?
  407. Gamby: It's fine!
  408.  
  409. Coma: Did you hear that, Tashkent-san?
  410.  
  411. Tashkent: Right.
  412. It's all been on her lately.
  413. We'd better apologize to Gamby.
  414.  
  415. Tash: Once again, I'm counting on you all.
  416.

  420. [One Giggle]
  421.  
  422. Coma: Fufu, how embarrassing.
  423. Tash: Ahah, we sounded so stupid.
  424. We wanted to open a bar but we fought then got back together in this big loop.
  425.  
  426. Tash: But
  427.  
  428. Tash: that's what friendship is like, isn't it?
  429.  
  430. Tash: Alright then, let's talk things through now then!
  431. Coma: Oui! We've got some delicious alcohol right here too!
  432. Gamby: Ah, let me get the leftover oranges from the cocktail~!
  433.

  436. Page 105
  437. Chitose: Well that fixed itself quickly.
  438. Ark: Ugh, they're so troublesome...
  439. Richelieu: They really are!
  440. They had me all concerned.
  441.  
  442. Chitose: ...
  443. Maybe we should just talk with them, instead of all this hush-hush stuff?
  444. As their bartender senpai.
  445.  
  446. Richelieu: We all agreed to put a stop to the bar, did we not?
  447. Ark: Was that the case?
  448.  
  449. Ark: Then...
  450.  
  451. Tash: Now then, first order of business is getting our revenge on Ark Royal!
  452. Ark: What!?
  453. Chitose: Oh my, do your best!
