It's a fourth wall joke. Akitsushima just idly talked about how they need to gain levels and such, revealing she understands her world is just a game, while Asashio, and until then, Ooshio thought they were in a real life-or-death struggle for the fate of the world.

It's a double-layered joke. The main one is that Akitsushima got assigned to grinding the Admiral's characters in a game he was playing (likely some sort of mobile/webgame). The usual "useless little Kamo" gag. Most people in the Pixiv comments section picked up on this, and Goma's responses confirms this interpretation.

The second one is a meta joke, as noted by NWSiaCB. One of the comments mentions that the comic can be read as Akitsushima being the one playing Kancolle, i.e. she's grinding the 'shios. Goma confirms that this interpretation is also valid — he deliberately drew it that way.

(That's what Ooshio meant in the comic — it's strange for various reasons. The main oddity is a shipgirl being assigned to 'game-playing' duty, but the other one is meta.)

Likely the commentary is Goma highlighting the more subtle part of the joke.
