I don't know how to best translate the remaining onomatopoeia and text box. The "jiwa" seems to indicate that she's on the verge of crying, perhaps? If you look closely, this is also reflected in the change in facial expressions between the second and third panels. You can just barely see tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
The text box explains that in Germany, the males give females gifts on Valentine's day (contrary to Japan, where it is the other way around).
Also, as a side-note: Bismarck refers to the admiral as "atmiral" in this comic, rather than the Japanese term "teitoku" used by most of the cast. I looked it up in the KanColle wiki and I found out that she uses "teitoku" just like everyone else in almost all of her quotes. The only exceptions where she uses "atmiral" are her marriage quotes.

Yes, *jiwa* is SFX for tears welling up.

It's the German word Admiral (capitalized such, as is the case with all German nouns). Spelled the same as the English equivalent (except for the mandatory capitalization), but pronounced as /at.mi'ra:l/ ("aht-mee-RAHL"). Notably the /d/ sound is devoiced to a /t/, despite the spelling.
Valentine day in Germany, both male and female give gifts to each others, different from East Asian countries that female give chocolate to male and waiting for return back in White Day. And actually, not many German interesting in Valentine day. Valentine day is not a special day in Germany, so don't expect many German doing some special things or romantic stuffs.
