Artist's commentary
Ikazuchi: “Up at this point, it should be alright...”
Kiso: Aaah, we’ve lost already haven’t we
Inazuma: Ikazuchi~! Kiso-san~! Are you alright~?!!
Ikazuchi: That’s... Inazuma. Hibiki too. They’ve waited for us haven’t they
Kiso: It would have been good if you returned to the guardian prefecture.
Inazuma: Kiso-san, that wound... . You fought your best alone, so I was worried. It is great that you are back.
Kiso: It’s only natural. Only that much is no problem.
Ikazuchi: What are you talking about. You were all wrecked and worn-out weren’t you?
Kiso: . . .
Ikazuchi: Please don’t be reckless anymore, okay?
Kiso: . . . You too. Because I’m a flagship, you should listen properly to what I say.
Ikazuchi: At that rate, if I had left Kiso-san alone, Kiso-san would have... Would have sunk, wouldn’t you...!
Kiso: . . .
Inazuma: I also beg you. Kiso-san might not be able to come back, so I was afraid.
Hibiki: I also thought the same thing. And it seems that when one attacks on their own, when they are all beaten up and unable to move, I wonder if you'll really even bother to come back? [*stares*]
Kiso: . . .
Ikazuchi: Seriously now...
Kiso: ...You didn’t tell me either, if that guy didn’t come to intervene, you would be a sea grave with me by now.
Ikazuchi: Ugh-
Hibiki: Even though Inazuma and I have tried to stop you....
Ikazuchi: It’s alright in the end, isn’t it... Nevertheless, I wonder if that person is alright... She gave cover for us all alone, receiving attacks by the enemy a lot of times.
Hibiki: “That person”?
Ikazuchi: Yeah, she came so suddenly, helping me and Kiso-san. Kiso-san, that person, is not one of our guardian prefecture’s fleet girls, is she? I wonder who she is
Kiso: I don’t know... (That guy seems like an acquaintance of the enemy. She didn’t fight back against the enemy at all. Can’t become teammates very easily, huh)
Ikazuchi: That person, I wonder if she’s okay all alone.
Kiso: It’s okay, right. I don’t know from which friendly forces she is, but to bother saving us both would need a lot of courage.
Ikazuchi: . . . I’m worried about her.
Kiso: . . . Huh?
Ikazuchi: That person had been shot so much like crazy, it shouldn’t be alright. If she had helped us, then if she would become all tattered like Kiso-san . . .
Ikazuchi: No good. That’s absolutely no good. Kiso-san, I’ll go to have a little look
Kiso: Hey, wait a minute! Ikazuchi, don’t go!!
Inazuma: She has gone...
Kiso: (Darn it, I could’ve stopped her if only my legs can move)
Kiso: That person, even if she have just told me not to be reckless, she’s-!
