>The World has entered the age of Shipgirls/Kancolle...!
>It's an age where countless Admirals and the shipgirls they command fight day and night.
>But in this world there is also a war few people know about, a war fought by a certain group.
>They are those who fight daily to sustain the acitivities that bely the world of shipgirls--the Kantami (The translator uses the word "艦民"/Kantami, people of the ships instead of Fairy)...!
>The Hardworking Kantami [Kill] (I think)

>Kantami
>So this is this is company that manages the logistics of the shipgirls, huh...
>I am Siegfried Aranami, currently looking for a job.
>I need to do my best for this interview!

>Come and explain how things work here to the newbie.
>How should I say it....it's a job with a lot of work ethic!
>It's a job that revoles around young people, very unrestrained!

>[Holiday Work]
This world has already entered the age of Shipgirls/Kancolle...!
>A new challenge has emerged in the Admirality's constant battle
>LSC!
>That is Kancolle's brightest beacon of hope, and....
>its darkest shades of despair.

>The Kantaimi, dispatched to cleanup naval districts whose admirals have ran out of luck, call their work "Holiday Work."
>Kantaimi/Fairy Work Corporation
>Ahhh, so irritating...unpaid overtime day after day.
 >How many times has it been this month where we've been called in on our off days?
>The 8th.
>And once we get to the year's end and the new years there'll be no time for a break...
>Well, this is the vital time where we will find out whether Kancolle is a passing fad or here to stay
>(words are really small, may be wrong) [All these various ideas are coming together at this time]
>Let's just suck it up and get through it, folks
>[Let's go let's go!]

>Hm?
>This--what the hell?!  [Our workplace has been completely messed up!]
>Naka-Chang?!  [She clearly hasn't been dismantled yet (TL note: could also mean "the order to dismantle her clearly hadn't been given yet")
>Oy!  Look over here!
>[Scratch Marks]
>[Pawprints]
>They did it...!  [At this busy time....]

>I'm going to fuck them up!
>Oy!  What the hell did you guys do?
>[Uuuuu x 8]
>(Chinese Translator's note: From right to left, we have the second generation cat girls, the fourth generation and the third generation.)
>Eh?!  Are you alright?!  Oy...what happened?!

>Anyhow, you guys sit down here and explain to me.
>What happened?
>....Cats...The cats...they stopped listening to our orders and rebelled.  It was like Oshio Heihachiro's rebellion (apparently a historical novel in Japan)...
>Heihachiro's job involved taking care of cats?  [Wasn't his issue the famine?]
>Wasn't there that one fellow who was really good at wrangling these cats?
>[Boss-->]
>Boss, she....went out on an errand....so the cats took the opportunity...
>BOSS!  COME BACK--!
>[What a conundrum...]

>Ara ara, to think that in the time I was gone....
>[I'm really fast]
>You guys got jobbed by those kids
>[Shimakaze just took me back...very rough (TL note: most likely talking about the ride, but could be referring to the otehr girls' experiences)
>BOSS!
>If Boss is back we don't have to be scared!
>She's proof magic and miracles exist!
>Thanks to the boss, the cat's rebellion was quickly suppressed.
>After this they were all finally subjected to a painful lesson. (TL note: maybe this whole story is related to Heihachiro's rebellion?)

>[I'm the Fleet's Idol, Naka-Chang]
>Naka Chang?!
>I told Naka-chang all the problems in the workplace, and she just say there, listening to me vent.
>Although it's obvious that this alone wouldn't be enough to solve my problems, but after venting, I began to feel that my worries seem to have lifted somewhat.
>Naka-chan will be living in that shed for a while.  If you have any troubles, just come over and tell me about them!
>Thank you Naka-Chang!

>From that day on, I frequently went over to Naka-chang's to find her.
>Hmhmhm...I guess I'm here again.
>Naka-Chang~~

>...Eh?  Naka-Chang.....
>How odd.  Is she sortieing today?  I guess I'll come next time
>[I always feel relaxed after work...want to go get a drink after this?]
>[sounds good]
