I'm guessing Akebono wasn't actually in the room but one out of the three others said something to make it seem she was...?
Something like that. The admiral overheard "shitty admiral" and assumed it was Akebono. Then Akebono walked in, demonstrating it was actually one of the other three. Which is why in panel four they won't look her in the eye.
