# Brave Witches
In September of 1944, thanks to the actions of the Allied Forces, with the 501st Joint Fighter Wing "Strike Witches" at their center, the Neuroi nest in the skies above the Republic of Gallia was eliminated, ensuring the security of western Europe. The Allied Forces took advantage of this victory to plan to take their resistance to central and eastern Europe in earnest. At their base in Petersburg in the Empire of Orussia, the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing "Brave Witches" prepared to receive orders to deploy...

Good morning!

Dad!

Here's your lunch.
**[03:57] Dad**
Oh, thanks.
**[03:59] H**
Well? Did you fix the receiver?
**[04:01] Mizunuma**
Yeah, he had it fixed in a jiffy.
**[04:04] H**
Great!
**[04:05] H**
That's my dad for you!
**[04:07] Mizunuma**
No telling when we might get
an important message...
**[04:10] Mizunuma**
Engineer Karibuchi is our savior.
**[04:12] H**
This transceiver station can reach all the

**[04:16] Mizunuma**
Yes, it's Fusou's tallest radio tower.
**[04:19] H**
Wow!
**[04:21] Engineer**
Sub-lieutenant Mizunuma, a message.
**[04:24] Mizunuma**
A message?
**[04:26] Mizunuma**
I see.
**[04:28] Mizunuma**
The Third Carrier Division will

The Third Carrier Division?

That's my big sis!

Yeah, Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi Takami,
the hero of Sasebo, is returning home.
**[04:38] H**
All right!

**[05:24] Mom**
Takami?
**[05:25] Mom**
Things are always so sudden with that girl.
**[05:27] H**
Because of her mission. She can't help it.

**[06:04] Gi**
I heard Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi is returning.
**[06:07] Hikari**
Yeah, from Allied Naval Training.
**[06:09] Hikari**
It's been three months.
**[06:10] Gi**
She's so amazing.
**[06:11] Gi**
I can't believe they assigned
her to a carrier division!
**[06:15] Gi**
Oh, yeah...
**[06:16] Gi**
The next movie they're producing is based
on her time in Europe, isn't it?
**[06:20] Gi**
That's right!
**[06:21] Gi**
She held off the enemy forces alone
during the retreat from Libau!
**[06:25] Gi**
She really is the hero of Sasebo!
**[06:29] Misumi**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi must be really sad
to have a failure of a sister like you.
**[06:35] Gi**
Misumi-san...
**[06:36] H**
What? What does that mean?!
**[06:38] Misumi**
Just what I said.
**[06:39] Gi**
Next! Misumi!
**[06:41] M**
Right.
**[06:45] Gi**
Don't let her get to you, Hikari.
**[06:47] Gi**
Yeah.
**[06:51] H**
A corkscrew maneuver!
**[06:52] Gi**
That's an upperclassman's maneuver!
**[06:56] Gi**
All right!

Right.

Hikari!

Ow...

Are you stupid?!
**[07:21] Gi**
What moron falls from a
sky without enemies?!
**[07:23] Gi**
Give me twenty laps!
**[07:25] H**
Right!
**[07:26] Misumi**
Pathetic.
**[07:28] Misumi**
I can't believe you're the little
sister of Karibuchi Takami,
**[07:32] Misumi**
the hero of Sasebo.
**[07:33] Misumi**
You get Fs for grades.
**[07:35] Misumi**
Do you really think you can join a Witch unit?
**[07:37] H**
I do! Is that wrong?
**[07:40] H**
I'm going to be a Witch, like my sister!

You're an overly optimistic idiot.

Right.

I'm back, Hikari.
**[08:46] H**
Welcome back, Sis!
**[08:52] Gu**
Takami-chan's late.
**[08:54] Gu**
I want to hear her talk about Libau again...
**[08:57] Gi**
There she is.
**[08:58] Gu**
What a nice car!
**[09:00] Gu**
Well, she is the hero of Sasebo.
**[09:06] Gi**
Hikari!
**[09:08] H**
I'm back...
**[09:11] T**
I'm home.
**[09:14] Gu**
That's Takami-chan for you!
**[09:18] Gi**
Sorry for all the fuss.
**[09:21] Gi**
I'm sure you want to relax.
**[09:23] T**
No, it's easier for me to relax like this.
**[09:25] H**
Look at this, Sis!
***SIGN*** The Hero of Libau
**[09:27] H**
Ta-dah!
**[09:28] H**
They're articles about you!
**[09:30] Gi**
She saved them all.
**[09:33] T**
That's embarrassing...
**[09:35] Gi**
No, it isn't.
**[09:37] Gi**
It's proof that you're doing
a great job as a Witch
**[09:40] H**
Oh, right! I have to check today's paper.
**[09:43] ---**
**[09:43] H**
An article on Witches!
**[09:45] Gi**
"Lieutenant Commander Sakamoto
fights hard as a member
**[09:50] Gi**
of the 501st Joint Fighter Wing,
the Strike Witches."
**[09:54] H**
Sis, do you know Lieutenant
Commander Sakamoto?
**[09:57] T**
I was with her during the retreat from Libau.
**[10:00] T**
She was tough, but someone
you could really respect.
**[10:01] ---**
**[10:08] H**
Is she a Fusou Witch, too?
**[10:10] T**
I don't know...
**[10:12] T**
If a Fusou Witch were deployed
to a Joint Fighter Wing,
**[10:16] T**
it should have made the news...
**[10:22] T**
It's been so long since I could relax in a bath!
**[10:26] H**
Water is precious on a ship, right?
**[10:28] T**
Yes.
**[10:29] H**
Hey, Sis, show it to me...
**[10:33] T**
Again?
**[10:38] T**
Is it that fun to look at a scar?
**[10:41] H**
But you got that scar fighting to protect
everyone during the Libau retreat, right?
**[10:45] H**
It's so cool!
**[10:47] T**
That tickles!
**[10:51] H**
Oh, yeah, Sis.
**[10:52] H**
A new parlor opened near the station!
**[10:55] H**
Your expedition's over, so you'll be
in Sasebo for a while, won't you?
**[11:00] H**
What's wrong?
**[11:02] T**
Actually, Hikari,
**[11:03] T**
when I got to port today,
I received new orders.
**[11:07] H**
Orders?
**[11:10] T**
I'm being deployed to Europe.
**[11:16] H**
Europe?
***SIGN*** Witch
The general term for girls who can use magic.
Once they obtain that power,
they grow ears and tails of animals and birds,
and their powers and strengths varies.
These abilities first appear in their teens,
and decreases as they become adults,
so the image of them being girls is rather strong.
However, there are very rare cases
where some can continue to use
their powers after becoming adults.
**[11:32] T**
Good morning, Mom.
**[11:35] Mom**
Morning.
**[11:36] T**
Where's Hikari?
**[11:45] T**
I'm being deployed to Europe.
**[11:50] H**
*Sis is going away again.*
**[11:55] T**
Hikari!
**[11:59] H**
Sis!
**[12:08] T**
Try leaping off the air, before you
feel the water on your feet.
**[12:20] T**
Hikari?
**[12:24] H**
That was close...
**[12:32] Gi**
Everyone...
**[12:34] Gi**
As you know, the situation in Europe is grim.
**[12:38] Gi**
They need more Witches,
and they need them now.
**[12:41] Gi**
Thus, our school will take a volunteer
for deployment to Europe.
**[12:47] H**
Deployment to Europe?
**[12:49] Gi**
Since you will be a student, you won't
be deployed to the far front lines.
**[12:54] Gi**
But the mission won't be easy.
**[12:56] Gi**
If you're interested, raise your hand.
**[13:01] Gi**
You're the head of the first-year class...
**[13:04] M**
Misumi Miya.
**[13:06] M**
I'm only a first-year student, but I
believe my skill will more than suffice.
**[13:11] H**
I volunteer, too!
**[13:13] H**
First-year Karibuchi Hikari!
**[13:17] M**
You?
**[13:18] H**
I want to go to Europe, too!
**[13:21] Gi**
Very well.
**[13:22] Gi**
In three days, we'll hold a selection
exam to see who is best qualified.
**[13:28] T**
A selection exam?
**[13:30] H**
That's right.
**[13:31] H**
If I beat Misumi-san there,
I can go to Europe!
**[13:35] Dad**
But are they that desperate for Witches?
**[13:38] Mom**
You aren't even out of school yet.
**[13:41] Mom**
Even Takami waited until she was out
of school to join the military.
**[13:46] H**
But by my age, she'd graduated!
**[13:49] Mom**
Because she was given special promotions.
**[13:51] H**
Aren't you always telling me a Witch
should strive to serve others?
**[13:56] H**
Why can't I go?!
**[13:59] H**
I'm a Witch, too!
**[14:02] T**
Hikari...
**[14:05] Mom**
Wait, you two!
**[14:17] T**
Hikari...
**[14:20] H**
Every day, I've been running the
same course that you ran.
**[14:24] H**
I've been doing the same training.
**[14:27] H**
I thought if I could cross the sea like you,
**[14:30] H**
maybe I could catch up to you.
**[14:33] H**
If I flunk the exam, I'll give up.
**[14:36] H**
A weak Witch in Europe will just
cause problems for everyone.
**[14:40] H**
But I don't want to give up
without doing anything!
**[14:45] T**
Sure, good luck, Hikari.
**[14:51] Gi**
We will now begin the exam to
determine who goes to Europe.
**[14:55] Gi**
The exam is modeled on an actual battle.
**[14:58] Gi**
Both participants will be given weapons
**[14:59] Gi**
and asked to complete tasks
within the allotted time.
**[15:04] Gi**
If you can't pass through the checkpoints
**[15:06] Gi**
or clear the exam in time, you will fail.
**[15:10] Gi**
If both participants pass,
**[15:12] Gi**
the faster one will be chosen for deployment.
**[15:19] Gi**
Ready!
**[15:34] Gi**
I don't like those clouds.
**[15:36] T**
European skies aren't exactly gentle.
**[15:40] Gi**
That's true.
**[15:43] M**
This exam's a waste of time.
**[15:45] M**
There's no way you can
beat me, and you know it!
**[15:48] H**
We won't know that until we try!
**[15:51] M**
Then, I'll make you understand!
**[16:08] M**
Not even close.

Almost... Almost!

If I don't decrease the magical power
I'm using, she'll catch up.

surface and build some lift!

**[04:57] H**
I wanted to be like my sister,
**[04:59] H**
so I did lots and lots of running,
and not much else.
**[05:02] Gu**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi, huh?
**[05:04] Gu**
I was born in Sasebo, too,
**[05:06] Gu**
and I'm proud of it.
**[05:08] Gu**
Are you going to be in her unit?
**[05:10] H**
No, I'm going to Kauhava base in Suomus.
**[05:14] Gu**
The country next to Orussia?
**[05:17] Gu**
Kauhava base is an important base
for the Suomus air force.
**[05:20] Gu**
It's not the front lines right now, but...
**[05:22] Gu**
So you're with a rear unit?
**[05:25] H**
That's right.
**[05:27] H**
I'm still not close to being strong enough.
**[05:30] Gu**
Rear support is an important mission.
**[05:32] Gu**
Resupplying and sending messages and stuff.
**[05:34] H**
Right!
**[05:35] H**
But someday, I want to fight
on the front lines, like my sister.
**[05:40] H**
So I'm going to practice a lot...
**[05:44] Gu**
Clear the runway!
**[05:45] Gu**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi
is doing her training flight!
**[05:54] T**
Let's go, Chidori.
**[06:06] Gu**
I never get tired of watching that.
**[06:19] T**
You're being a good girl again today, huh?
**[06:30] Gu**
Here you go.
**[06:34] Gu**
Well?
**[06:36] T**
It's burnt into a nice color.
**[06:38] Gu**
Okay, break time.
**[06:40] T**
Good work.
**[06:44] H**
That's so great.
**[06:46] H**
I wanted one of the new Units, too.
**[06:49] T**
Sorry. The Shiden Type-4 is a prototype.
**[06:53] H**
You're the test pilot, right?
**[06:56] T**
Yup.
**[06:57] T**
I think they'll be distributing
the mass-produced Units soon.
**[07:00] T**
I hope you get one.
**[07:03] H**
Hey, why do you call it Chidori?
**[07:06] T**
A chidori, or plover, is a migratory bird that
crosses through lots of different countries.
**[07:11] T**
So it needs the whole world to be at peace.
**[07:15] T**
Once we defeat the Neuroi
and bring the world back to peace,
**[07:19] T**
I want to travel with Chidori.
**[07:23] H**
I want to go with you!
**[07:26] T**
Want to try it a little?
**[07:37] H**
It's not spinning right!
**[07:47] H**
It's not like the ones at school at all!
**[07:52] T**
Hikari!
**[07:53] T**
Did you listen to Chidori's voice?
**[07:56] H**
Chidori's voice?
**[08:12] H**
Sis...?
**[08:13] T**
Can I sleep with you?
**[08:20] H**
Hey, can you hear Chidori talk to you?
**[08:24] T**
Yeah.
**[08:25] T**
I always listen to its voice as I fly.
**[08:29] H**
Really?
**[08:32] T**
We aerial Witches entrust everything to
our Units as we fly through the sky.
**[08:37] T**
A Unit is a Witch's soul.
**[08:39] T**
Someday, you'll be able to understand
what your Unit is feeling.
**[08:45] H**
Will I be able to fight with you then?
**[08:51] T**
I believe that you'll be an amazing Witch.
**[08:56] T**
Your efforts will pay off.
**[09:03] T**
You won't know until you try!
**[09:18] T**
An alarm?
**[09:20] Gu**
Neuroi detected to the SSW!
**[09:22] Gu**
Distance, 30,000 meters!
**[09:24] Gu**
Prepare for AA combat!
**[09:25] Gu**
All air Units, take off!
**[09:34] H**
Sis, I'll fight, too!
**[09:37] T**
No.
**[09:38] T**
Get back to your quarters!
**[09:39] H**
Why? I'm a Witch, too!
**[09:42] T**
You can't fight yet.
**[09:45] H**
Sis...
**[09:47] T**
Next time, okay?
**[10:03] Gu**
Neuroi sighted.
**[10:04] Gu**
Ten medium-sized Units.
**[10:05] Gu**
Thirty small-sized Units!
**[10:06] Gu**
They're heading straight for us.
**[10:09] Gu**
Neuroi are supposed to act alone.
**[10:11] Gu**
Why are they in a pack?
**[10:12] Gu**
I hadn't heard anything about that.
**[10:15] Gu**
Evasive maneuvers!
**[10:16] Gu**
Hard to port!
**[10:18] Gu**
Request reinforcements
from the 502nd's Witches.
**[10:24] T**
Those are all Neuroi?
**[10:26] Gu**
Sub-lieutenant, we didn't
expect to see so many.
**[10:29] Gu**
Hold them off somehow until
reinforcements arrive.
**[10:32] T**
Roger.
**[10:34] T**
Let's go, Chidori.
**[10:47] T**
Only the mid-sized Units have cores.
**[10:49] T**
You can handle the smaller ones.
**[10:51] Gu**
Roger!
**[11:01] T**
There's one!
**[11:13] T**
Next!
**[11:18] H**
This is a real fight!
***SIGN*** Striker Unit
Equipment created from science and magic
that only Witches can use.
The engines inside
amplify the Witches' powers,
and they are able to gain
powerful flight and attack abilities.
The technology behind these Units
were based on the technology
originally created by Miyafuji Ichirou,
a professor from Fusou.
**[11:20] ---**
**[11:57] N**
The *Kishinami!*
**[12:01] H**
Sis...
**[12:09] Gu**
The aerial unit has lost 30% of its planes!
**[12:12] Gu**
Please...
**[12:13] Gu**
Just hold them off.
**[12:29] H**
There are too many!
**[12:32] Gu**
That's crazy, Hikari-chan!
**[12:34] Gu**
That Unit isn't for combat!
**[12:36] H**
I know!
**[12:37] H**
But it can fly anyway!
**[12:50] H**
The Unit...
**[12:57] H**
The Neuroi...
**[13:01] T**
I won't let you go!
**[13:09] T**
I have to use it...
**[13:19] T**
Absolute Eye!
**[13:27] T**
Initial targeting lock.
**[13:31] ---**
Ow...
**[13:33] T**
Adjusting targets.
**[13:36] T**
Targeting lock complete!
**[13:53] Gu**
Th-The enemy formation has been wiped out!
**[13:58] Gu**
She took them all out instantly?
**[14:00] Gu**
What happened?
**[14:04] Gu**
She did it!
**[14:06] Gu**
That's Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi for you!
**[14:08] H**
Sis!
**[14:15] H**
Sis!
**[14:26] H**
Sis!
**[14:29] Gu**
What is this?
**[14:30] Gu**
What happened?
**[14:31] Gu**
Neuroi on the northern coast!
**[14:33] Gu**
It's...
**[14:35] Gu**
...a Neuroi nest!
**[14:38] Gu**
What?
**[14:40] H**
Sis!
**[14:41] H**
Sis, are you okay?
**[14:43] T**
I'm fine.
**[14:45] T**
You're not hurt, are you, Hikari?
**[14:47] H**
I'm sorry, Sis...
**[14:49] H**
If I'd been stronger,
I could've fought with you.
**[14:56] H**
Sis!
**[14:59] Gu**
We lost the *Okinami*, too.
**[15:00] Gu**
There are more Neuroi inbound!

Pilot Officer Georgette Lemare

Nao-chan, you look really excited today.

Pilot Officer Kanno Naoe
Flight Sergeant Nikka Edvardine Katajainen
Flight Sergeant Shimohara Sadako
**[15:15] N**
A Witch she knows is coming from Fusou.
**[15:18] N**
I think her name is... Karibuchi?
**[15:21] K**
Yeah.
**[15:22] K**
Takami is my best friend.
**[15:24] K**
By the time we get there,
**[15:26] K**
there might not be any Neuroi left!
**[15:29] ---**
Flight Lieutenant Aleksandra Ivanovna Pokryshkin
**[15:29] K**
I hope she's cute.
**[15:34] S**
One more time, please.
**[15:36] S**
Yes.
**[15:37] S**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi is out of the fight?
**[15:40] K**
Takami was defeated?
**[15:46] Gu**
Sergeant, are you sure you want to do this?
**[15:49] H**
I'm doing it.
**[15:50] H**
If I can buy us even a second...
***SIGN*** Chidori
**[15:56] H**
Karibuchi Hikari, heading out!
**[16:02] H**
*Chidori...*
**[16:03] H**
*Lend me your power!*
**[16:15] Gu**
Is that Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi?
**[16:17] Gu**
No.
**[16:18] Gu**
It's her younger sister.
**[16:19] Gu**
Her younger sister?
**[16:25] H**
*Just like you did it in training!*
**[16:32] H**
It's regenerating!
**[16:33] H**
I have to hit the core!
**[16:45] H**
*It's my fault.*
**[16:47] H**
*It's because I'm weak!*
**[16:53] H**
* Sis fought many more times*
* this number of enemies...*
**[17:09] H**
That's...
**[17:12] H**
It missed!
**[17:46] Gu**
Those are...
**[17:47] Gu**
...Witch reinforcements!
**[17:49] Gu**
The 502nd!
**[18:02] Gu**
They took out two Neuroi
in a single instant.
**[18:04] Gu**
That's the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing,
the "Brave Witches."
**[18:15] K**
Takami!
**[18:17] K**
I knew they couldn't beat you—
**[18:21] K**
Who the hell are you?
**[18:33] ---**
Orussia Novo-Kholmogory
**[18:38] Gu**
I am Itou of the
European Expeditionary Force.
**[18:42] G**
Gundula Rall, leader of the
502nd Joint Fighter Wing.
**[18:45] G**
So, how is Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi doing?
**[18:53] Gi**
I was able to seal up her wound.
**[18:55] Gi**
That's all I can do.
**[18:58] H**
Sis!
**[18:59] Gu**
Her temperature is 22 degrees.
**[19:01] Gu**
Her pulse is ten beats a minute.
**[19:02] Gu**
How can she be alive?
**[19:04] Gu**
It's like she's hibernating.
**[19:07] Gu**
She suddenly used all her
magical power at once.
**[19:10] Gu**
She's using what's left for life support,
**[19:14] Gu**
and just barely clinging to life.
**[19:19] H**
Sis...
**[19:22] R**
Then... we don't know when she'll wake up?
**[19:26] Gi**
That's right.
**[19:28] Gi**
It could be tomorrow, or...
she may never wake up.
**[19:33] R**
Commander, the report said
her hair was glowing red.
**[19:39] R**
It can't be...
**[19:40] R**
Did she use that?
**[19:42] Sa**
What do we do?
**[19:43] Sa**
With that new nest here,
**[19:45] Sa**
we won't be able to use
this sea corridor much longer.
**[19:48] Gu**
The best option would be
to return to Fusou by ship.
**[19:52] R**
I see.
**[19:54] R**
Understood.
**[19:57] R**
As soon as supplies are unloaded,
**[19:59] R**
let's send Takami back to Fusou.
**[20:01] Gu**
Understood.
**[20:02] K**
Wait!
**[20:04] K**
She came here to fight with us, right?
**[20:08] R**
I'm upset, as well.
**[20:10] R**
But she can't fight anymore.
**[20:14] H**
I have a request.
**[20:20] H**
Please...
**[20:21] H**
Please let me join the 502nd!
**[20:25] R**
Who are you?
**[20:27] H**
Karibuchi Hikari!
**[20:29] R**
Karibuchi?
**[20:30] H**
I'll fight in her place!
**[20:33] R**
Takami's little sister?
**[20:35] R**
Little sister?
**[20:37] K**
You...
**[20:39] K**
I don't know if you're
Takami's sister or what,
**[20:41] K**
but you can't even fight, so shut up!
**[20:44] H**
I'll fight!
**[20:45] H**
I'm a Witch!
**[20:46] K**
Hell, no!
**[20:47] K**
If it weren't for us, you'd be dead!
**[20:50] H**
Then...
**[20:52] H**
Then... just let me join you until I die!
**[20:59] H**
My sister told me she wanted to defeat
the Neuroi and bring peace back to the world.
**[21:06] H**
So I'll fight, too!
**[21:09] R**
Sasha, your thoughts?
**[21:11] S**
She has zero combat capabilities.
**[21:14] S**
But she lasted five minutes against
two mid-sized Neuroi until we arrived.
**[21:20] R**
She survived, huh?
**[21:23] R**
And your thoughts, Sensei?
**[21:27] R**
You've made your choice already, right?
**[21:34] R**
Karibuchi Hikari.
**[21:37] R**
I'll be accepting you as a member
of the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing.
**[21:45] R**
But if you want to fight,
you have to get stronger.
***SIGN*** To Be Continued
**[21:52] R**
Okay!
**[21:54] ---**
**[23:26] R**
What's with that Hikari girl?
**[23:27] R**
If you can't fight then get
your butt back to Fusou!
**[23:30] R**
Now, now, Kanno.
**[23:31] R**
Don't say that. Let's be friends.

Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi Takami's
younger sister from Fusou
**[02:02] Ro**
is joining us in her stead.
**[02:05] H**
I'm Karibuchi Hikari.
**[02:07] H**
I'll do my best in my sister's place.
**[02:11] G**
I'm Gundula Rall, the commander of the 502nd.

My rank is flight leader.

I am Flight Lieutenant Aleksandra

**[02:22] K**
Flying Officer Waltrud Krupinski.
**[02:25] K**
Will you call me "Countess"?
**[02:27] H**
Countess? Are you really important?
**[02:30] Ro**
Feel free to ignore her jokes.
**[02:33] K**
That's terrible, Sensei.
**[02:35] Ro**
Sensei?
**[02:36] E**
I'm Flight Sergeant Edytha Rossmann.
**[02:39] E**
I'm the wing's instructor.
**[02:42] G**
Georgette Lemare. I'm a pilot officer.
**[02:46] Gi**
Shimohara Sadako. I'm a pilot officer.
**[02:49] Gi**
Hey, it's your turn, Kanno.
**[02:51] K**
I don't care.
**[02:55] N**
Um, next to me is Pilot Officer Kanno Naoe.
**[02:59] N**
I'm Flight Sergeant Nikka Edvardine Katajainen.
**[03:02] N**
Call me "Nipa."
**[03:04] Ro**
Okay, introductions are finished.
**[03:05] Ro**
Let's eat.
**[03:08] K**
Hey, Karibuchi-san.
**[03:10] K**
Can I call you Hikari-chan?
**[03:12] K**
Huh?
**[03:16] Gi**
She's asleep...
**[03:18] K**
The little kitty must be really tired.
**[03:22] Gi**
What's so funny?
**[03:26] H**
A core?
**[03:29] H**
I'm sure I saw a core...
**[03:33] H**
What was that?
**[03:38] H**
Good morning, Sis.
**[03:40] H**
I'll do my best, okay?
**[03:45] H**
Okay!
**[03:53] Gi**
It's gotten pretty cold.
**[03:55] Gi**
Has it?
**[03:57] Gi**
I shouldn't have asked a Suomusian.
**[03:59] Gi**
Huh?
**[04:00] Gi**
Someone's running up ahead.
**[04:03] Gi**
It's Karibuchi-san.
**[04:04] Gi**
Let's pass her.
**[04:10] H**
Good morning!
**[04:11] Gi**
Morning!
**[04:12] Gi**
Training?
**[04:13] H**
Yes.
**[04:13] Gi**
You're slow, Nipa!
**[04:15] Gi**
What's your problem? Jeez.
**[04:21] Gi**
Karibuchi-san's following us.
**[04:24] Gi**
A beginner can't keep up with our pace.
**[04:30] Rall**
Karibuchi?
**[04:31] Ro**
Yes.
**[04:34] Gi**
I can't go on...
**[04:37] Gi**
Damn it!
**[04:40] Gi**
Hey! You!
**[04:44] Gi**
I refuse to accept it!
**[04:46] Gi**
You can't take Takami's place!
**[04:50] Gi**
She and I were going to
destroy the Neuroi nest!
**[04:53] Gi**
But because you were weak...
**[04:56] H**
You're right.
**[04:57] H**
It's my fault.
**[04:59] H**
It happened to my sister because I was weak.
**[05:01] H**
But I'll work hard and get stronger!
**[05:04] Gi**
If working hard were all it took
to get stronger, it'd be easy!
**[05:08] Gi**
Right now, we need someone ready to fight.
**[05:10] H**
We won't know until we try!
**[05:12] Gi**
Hey, you two.
**[05:14] Gi**
No fighting.
**[05:16] Gi**
We're all comrades.
**[05:17] Gi**
We are not!
**[05:18] Gi**
The weak put others in danger, too.
**[05:21] Gi**
If you want to befriend someone,
go back to Fusou already!
**[05:24] Gi**
Kanno!
**[05:27] Gi**
I-I'm sorry.
**[05:28] Gi**
She can be really mean, but she
isn't a bad person.
**[05:32] Gi**
It's like... In her own way,
she's struggling hard.
**[05:35] H**
I know.
**[05:37] H**
If only I were stronger...
**[05:41] Gi**
By the way, Karibuchi-san, are you
a marathon runner or something?
**[05:45] H**
No.
**[05:46] H**
I just used to run to bring my dad his lunch.
**[05:50] Gi**
Lunch?
**[05:51] H**
Yes.
**[05:54] Gi**
That's funny.
**[05:57] Gi**
You fell asleep while eating yesterday, right?
**[06:00] Gi**
It's almost breakfast time. Let's go back.
**[06:01] H**
Um, Nipa-san...
**[06:04] H**
Thank you for saying that we're comrades.
**[06:09] Gi**
Let's go.
**[06:12] Ro**
It seems she has a lot of basic stamina.
**[06:20] Gi**
You eat a lot.
**[06:22] H**
I need to eat a lot and get strong.
**[06:25] Gi**
Is the taste to your liking?
**[06:27] H**
It's delicious.
**[06:28] H**
Did you make it, Shimohara-san?
**[06:30] Gi**
Yes.
**[06:31] Gi**
There's a cooking crew,
**[06:33] Gi**
but I like to cook.
**[06:35] Gi**
These penny buns go well with
the butter, don't they?
**[06:39] Gi**
Nipa-san picked them in Shuvalov Park.
**[06:44] Gi**
Maybe we'll have chanterelles
or truffles next time.
**[06:47] Gi**
Truffles...
**[06:48] Sa**
But if you break another Unit, I'll forbid
you from mushroom hunting.
**[06:53] Gi**
That isn't fair!
**[06:55] H**
Um, are there seconds?
**[06:57] Gi**
Yes, there's plenty.
**[07:00] K**
Girls who eat a lot are cute.
**[07:04] H**
Cute?
**[07:07] Ro**
Right now, we're looking at our
former primary targets,
**[07:12] Ro**
Neuroi nests Anna and Vzsily.
**[07:15] Ro**
There's also the new nest in the White Sea...
**[07:18] Sa**
Another bad spot....
**[07:20] Ra**
Very well, we will name
the new nest "Grigori."
**[07:24] Ro**
The area affected by Neuroi emerging
from Grigori is expanding rapidly.
**[07:29] Ro**
It threatens to cut off our supply lines.
**[07:32] Ro**
If our supply lines are cut, we will be
forced to withdraw from this base.
**[07:36] K**
Well, that sucks.
**[07:38] K**
This is pretty dire news, huh?
**[07:40] Ro**
That means we need to neutralize
Grigori at once.
**[07:47] Gi**
Um...
**[07:48] Gi**
Is it possible to defeat a Neuroi nest?
**[07:51] Ro**
You were told that the 501st
wiped out the Gallia nest.
**[07:55] Gi**
But how?
**[07:58] Ra**
Supposedly, it's top secret.
**[08:00] Ra**
Damn it.
**[08:01] Ra**
But if the 501st can do it, so can we.
**[08:06] Gi**
I'll crush it.
**[08:08] Ra**
That's the spirit, Kanno.
**[08:10] Ra**
Karibuchi...
**[08:10] H**
Y-Yes!
**[08:12] Ra**
You start training this afternoon.
**[08:14] Ra**
Until then, have someone show
you around the base.
**[08:16] H**
Yes, ma'am!
**[08:17] ---**
Ah...
**[08:19] Ro**
Georgette-san, can you do it?
**[08:22] Gi**
U-Um, I have something to do.
**[08:26] Ro**
I see.
**[08:27] Ro**
Nipa-san, then.
**[08:29] N**
Sure.
**[08:30] Ra**
All right.
**[08:31] Ra**
Everyone, follow the duty schedule.
**[08:55] H**
What a view!
**[08:57] N**
This is the area's tallest building.
**[09:00] H**
What a big town!
**[09:02] N**
Before the Neuroi came, two million
people lived in Petersburg.
**[09:06] H**
That many?
**[09:08] N**
But everyone has evacuated now, except the
soldiers needed to maintain this base.
**[09:13] N**
This is a front-line base against the Neuroi.
**[09:16] H**
A huge town like this...
**[09:19] N**
It's Kanno.
**[09:23] H**
Kanno-san...
**[09:24] N**
She must have been really upset
that Karibuchi-san outran her...
**[09:29] N**
Never mind.
**[09:30] N**
You shouldn't try to copy her.
**[09:32] N**
Rossmann-sensei has instructed
us all to avoid overwork.
***SIGN*** The 501st Joint Fighter Wing
Strike Witches
The first joint fighter wing to be put together.
Wing Commander Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke
was their commander, and they were
stationed in Britannia. Though there
were a few changes in the beginning,
in the end, there were 11 members.
They were the first to attack a Neuroi nest,
and after they recovered Gallia, they disbanded.
(As of October, 1944)
***SIGN*** Chidori
**[09:52] H**
Chidori, I'm about to start training.
**[09:54] H**
Let's do our best together!
**[09:56] H**
I'll do my best, too!
***SIGN*** Chidori
**[09:58] H**
Is that how she'd talk?
**[10:00] Ro**
What are you doing?
**[10:01] H**
U-Um, my sister told me to
listen to my Unit's voice.
**[10:05] Ro**
You seem to have a lot of endurance.
**[10:09] Ro**
You have completed basic
and intermediate training.
**[10:12] Ro**
Your grades are F-rank.
**[10:14] Ro**
This document is useless.
**[10:16] Ro**
Put on your Unit.
**[10:18] H**
Yes!
**[10:24] Ro**
Start engine.
**[10:27] .**
Magical power mixture at 9:1.
**[10:29] .**
Keep RPMs at 1,500.
**[10:32] H**
Right!
**[10:34] Sa**
Your base and peak RPMs are 1,000 apart.
**[10:37] Sa**
Focus more on training.
**[10:39] Ro**
This is terrible.
**[10:40] Sa**
Increase them to 2,000.
**[10:41] H**
Yes!
**[10:44] Sa**
This is Fusou's latest model.
**[10:46] Sa**
2,000 hp and a top speed of 600 km/h.
**[10:49] Sa**
Its operational distance is in
the 2,000-kilometer class.
**[10:51] Sa**
I can't wait to see how it flies.
**[10:53] Sa**
Take off!
**[11:03] Ro**
I thought she increased them to 2,000.
**[11:05] Sa**
She isn't accelerating well.
**[11:08] Ro**
Go to an altitude of 300, and do a
lap around the base's exterior.
**[11:12] Ro**
Then pass over the runway
airspace at top speed.
**[11:14] H**
Yes!
**[11:20] Ro**
Is Fusou's new Unit defective?
**[11:23] Sa**
It isn't the machine's fault.
**[11:25] Sa**
She simply lacks the requisite magical power.
**[11:28] Ro**
That's fine.
**[11:29] Ro**
Come back.
**[11:30] H**
Already?
**[11:31] Ro**
That's right.
**[11:32] Ro**
I've seen enough.
**[11:35] H**
Yes.
**[11:37] Ro**
Try spinning it at full power.
**[11:39] H**
Yes!
**[11:43] Sa**
I knew it.
**[11:44] Sa**
You don't reach the magical
power this Unit requires.
**[11:48] H**
That's strange...
**[11:49] H**
I was able to fly with it.
**[11:51] Ro**
You weren't.
**[11:52] Ro**
It was letting you fly.
**[11:55] Gi**
This is Takami's new Unit, right?
**[11:57] Gi**
An amateur can't control it.
**[11:59] Gi**
I'll use it.
**[11:59] H**
No!
**[12:00] H**
Chidori belongs to my sister and me.
**[12:02] Gi**
What the hell is Chidori?
**[12:03] Gi**
Shut up!
**[12:04] Sa**
We'll issue orders later regarding
assignment for the new Unit.
**[12:09] Gi**
I'm sure she can't use it.
**[12:11] H**
We don't know that!
**[12:13] Gi**
What are you talking about?
**[12:14] Gi**
You can't even spin the engine!
**[12:16] H**
That's...
**[12:18] Gi**
I have to get stronger.
**[12:21] Gi**
Takami isn't here, and there's a new nest.
**[12:24] Gi**
In this situation, an amateur like
her will just be a handicap!
**[12:28] Ro**
Squadron Leader Rall will make that decision.
**[12:32] Gi**
Damn it!
**[12:33] Ra**
So, how did it go?
**[12:35] Ro**
Right now, she isn't ready for combat.
**[12:37] Ro**
It would be best to send
her back immediately.
**[12:40] Sa**
I agree.
**[12:42] Sa**
This base doesn't have room for a novice.
**[12:46] Ra**
It's unfortunate.
**[12:47] Sa**
They were probably after the Fusou supplies.
**[12:50] H**
Um!
**[12:50] H**
I saw a Neuroi core in the last fight!
**[12:54] ---**
What?
**[12:55] Ro**
If that's true,
**[12:56] Ro**
it explains how you survived
the Neuroi for five minutes.
**[13:00] Ro**
If she's the sister of Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi,
the one with magic eyes, it's possible.
**[13:03] Ra**
Interesting.
**[13:05] Ra**
Sensei, take a look.
**[13:07] Ro**
Roger.
**[13:10] Gi**
Emergency sortie!
***SIGN*** Chidori
**[13:16] Sa**
The enemy is a single medium-size.
**[13:18] Sa**
It's heading toward us from Grigori,
at an altitude of 3,000 meters.
**[13:21] Sa**
Its speed is 300 km/h.
**[13:23] Sa**
Fifteen minutes until arrival.
**[13:25] Sa**
Flying Officer Krupinski will be my wingman.
**[13:27] Sa**
Kanno and Nipa will take the front.
**[13:29] Sa**
Shimohara and Georgette will stand by here.
**[13:31] Sa**
Hikari-san, you launch, too.
**[13:35] H**
Yes, ma'am!
**[13:36] Gi**
Why her?
**[13:37] R**
It's part of her training.
**[13:39] R**
I authorize it.
**[13:41] Gi**
Roger...
**[13:42] Ro**
Obey my orders, and do not leave the
second position for any reason.
**[13:47] H**
Yes, ma'am!
**[13:55] Sa**
Enemy sighted!
**[13:56] Sa**
All Witches, charge!
**[13:58] All**
Roger!
**[14:03] Ro**
Hikari-san, can you see the core?
**[14:07] Ro**
Well? Can you?
**[14:08] Ro**
Can't you?
**[14:11] H**
I can't...
**[14:13] Ro**
I see.
**[14:14] Ro**
That's enough.
**[14:15] Ro**
Fall back.
**[14:17] H**
Yes.
**[14:20] Ro**
Watch out!
**[14:24] Ro**
Karibuchi-san!
**[14:27] Ro**
Run, fool!
**[14:35] H**
Kanno-san!
**[14:36] Gi**
Are you trying to get killed?
**[14:38] Gi**
You should have listened!
**[14:39] Gi**
Nipa!
**[14:40] Gi**
Roger!
**[14:50] Gi**
Take this!
**[15:04] H**
Kanno-san!
**[15:06] H**
Thank you for saving me.
**[15:08] Gi**
I didn't save you.
**[15:09] Gi**
I just don't want the new Unit destroyed.
**[15:12] Sa**
Kanno-san and Nipa-san,
**[15:14] Sa**
search the area for more enemies.
**[15:16] Sa**
Everyone else, head back.
**[15:18] All**
Roger.
**[15:20] Ro**
It seems what you saw wasn't a core, was it?
***SIGN*** Chidori
**[15:34] H**
Hey, Chidori...
**[15:35] H**
I know what I saw was a core.
**[15:38] H**
But why was I able to see it?
**[15:40] Ra**
Well?
**[15:41] Ro**
Unfortunately...
**[15:43] Ra**
I see.
**[15:45] Ra**
Sergeant Karibuchi Hikari.
**[15:47] H**
Yes, ma'am!
**[15:48] Gi**
Commander Rall, Flight Sergeant
Nikka collapsed again.
**[15:51] Gi**
The cause was a locust swarm getting
into her coolant unit again.
**[15:54] Ra**
What?
**[15:55] Ro**
She has the worst luck.
**[15:57] Ro**
Where's the recovery team?
**[15:59] Gi**
They say it's hard to pinpoint her crash point.
**[16:01] Gi**
And it will take time to locate
her from the ground.
**[16:04] Ra**
She probably won't make it in time for dinner.
**[16:06] H**
I'll go help her.
**[16:08] Ro**
Even if you go...
**[16:09] H**
Very well.
**[16:10] H**
I permit it.
**[16:11] H**
Thank you!
**[16:13] Ra**
Pilot Officer Kanno is currently
above Lake Ladoga.
**[16:16] Ra**
Go with her.
**[16:18] H**
Yes, ma'am!
**[16:22] Ro**
Was that a good idea?
**[16:24] Ra**
There's no harm in letting her
take home some memories.
**[16:27] Ra**
Get the paperwork ready to
send her back to Fusou.
**[16:30] Ro**
Yes, ma'am.
**[16:31] ---**
Lake Ladoga
**[16:33] Gi**
You again?
**[16:35] Gi**
What are you doing here?
**[16:36] H**
I'll look for Nipa-san, too.
**[16:38] Gi**
You'll slow me down.
**[16:39] Gi**
I'm better off on my own.
**[16:41] Gi**
No fighting.
**[16:43] Gi**
We're all comrades.
**[16:45] H**
We're comrades.
**[16:46] H**
I have to help her.
**[16:52] Gi**
She should be around here.
**[16:54] Gi**
She should build a fire
or something, at least.
**[16:57] H**
Nipa-san!
**[16:58] H**
Where are you?
**[17:02] Gi**
Oh, no... My eyes are getting blurry.
**[17:05] H**
Nipa-san!
**[17:07] Gi**
She has lots of stamina, even if
that's all she has.
**[17:10] H**
Nipa-san!
**[17:14] H**
I found her!
**[17:15] Gi**
You did?
**[17:19] Gi**
Nipa!
**[17:20] H**
Nipa-san!
**[17:22] Gi**
Hey, Nipa, are you okay?
**[17:26] H**
She's fine.
**[17:27] H**
She's alive.
**[17:29] Gi**
Good... You worried me.
**[17:32] Gi**
Wh-What?
**[17:34] H**
Nothing.
**[17:38] Gi**
Oh... Kanno.
**[17:40] Gi**
What do you mean by, "Oh... Kanno"?
**[17:42] Gi**
I was worried about you.
**[17:43] H**
I'm glad you're safe!
**[17:45] Gi**
You were late, so I fell asleep.
**[17:49] Gi**
I broke another one.
**[17:51] Gi**
There's kneeling waiting for me at home, huh?
**[17:54] H**
Kneeling?
**[17:55] Gi**
Just come on.
**[17:56] Gi**
Let's return before it gets late.
**[17:59] Gi**
I'm hungry.
**[18:01] Gi**
Let's hurry.
**[18:02] H**
Right!
**[18:04] H**
Kanno, below us!
**[18:05] H**
What?
**[18:08] H**
Neuroi!
**[18:09] Gi**
Damn it!
**[18:10] Gi**
Where did they come from?
**[18:11] Gi**
The nest is nearby.
**[18:13] Gi**
It might be a new attack wave.
**[18:14] Gi**
I'm the only one who can fight, huh?
**[18:16] Gi**
You take care of Nipa!
**[18:18] Gi**
Hey, Kanno!
**[18:19] Gi**
You go home!
**[18:21] H**
Kanno-san!
**[18:25] H**
She's so high....
**[18:26] Gi**
At least ten thousand meters.
**[18:28] Gi**
There isn't enough air up there!
**[18:33] Gi**
Damn it!
**[18:34] Gi**
The engine!
**[18:40] Gi**
Damn it!
**[18:41] Gi**
At this height, the Unit won't listen to me!
**[18:44] Gi**
I can't breathe, either!
**[18:49] Gi**
This is bad.
**[18:51] Gi**
The Neuroi is stopping Kanno
from coming back down!
**[18:54] Gi**
Damn it all! Work! Work!
**[18:57] H**
Nipa-san...
**[18:59] Gi**
Where are you going, Karibuchi-san?
**[19:01] H**
I'm going to save her!
**[19:03] Gi**
Carrying me, you won't be able to!
**[19:05] H**
But I'm going, anyway!
**[19:18] Gi**
Let's get rid of my Unit.
**[19:19] Gi**
That'll make it a lot lighter!
**[19:21] H**
No!
**[19:22] H**
I won't let you!
**[19:28] Gi**
If I can just distract it for one second...
**[19:34] Gi**
Kanno!
**[19:35] Gi**
You guys!
**[19:45] Gi**
Now!
**[19:50] Gi**
*Tsurugi Issen!*
**[19:57] Gi**
You did it!
**[20:07] Gi**
I see one pair of wing lights!
**[20:10] Sa**
One?
**[20:15] Gi**
I can see them!
**[20:16] Gi**
All three are there!
**[20:17] Sa**
Good.
**[20:18] Sa**
Everyone's safe.
**[20:19] Gi**
Yes! We're here!
**[20:22] Gi**
Good grief...
**[20:23] H**
I'm hungry, aren't you?
**[20:33] Gi**
They fell.
**[20:35] Sa**
All three of you, kneel!
**[20:41] Gi**
What are you looking at?
**[20:42] H**
It's so amazing that you punched a Neuroi!
**[20:45] Gi**
You can't have it.
**[20:46] H**
I didn't ask that.
**[20:48] Gi**
I've used this to defeat all kinds of Neuroi.
**[20:51] Gi**
I won't give it to anyone.
**[20:54] Gi**
Anyway, Kanno, don't you have
something to say to Hikari?
**[20:58] Gi**
Well, it appears you have stamina and guts.
**[21:01] H**
Really?
**[21:02] Gi**
Is that all?
**[21:03] Gi**
Shut up!
**[21:04] Gi**
That's all she has!
**[21:06] Gi**
I refuse to accept her.
**[21:08] Gi**
After she saved you, you don't
need to say that!
**[21:11] Gi**
What?!
**[21:12] Gi**
What?
**[21:13] Gi**
No fighting!
**[21:15] Sa**
Pilot Officer Kanno to the command room!
**[21:19] Ra**
You three worked together to shoot it down?
**[21:21] Gi**
Maybe.
**[21:23] Gi**
But I'm sure I would have won without her!
**[21:26] Ro**
I see.
**[21:28] Ro**
In the end, she was useful.
**[21:31] Gi**
Yeah...
**[21:32] Gi**
But I would have beaten it without her.
**[21:35] Ra**
Sensei, you can have her for a week.
**[21:38] Ro**
Yes, ma'am.

**[00:00] ---**
Helsinki, Suomus
Allied Forces Northern Headquarters
**[00:00] R**
That concludes my report, Marshal Mannerheim.
**[00:05] Gu**
I'll get to the point, then.
**[00:05] ---**
Empire of Karlsland Army
Marshal Erhard von Manstein
**[00:05] ---**
Suomus Commander-in-Chief
Marshal Klaus Mannerheim
**[00:06] Gu**
A new army group will be formed at Petersburg.
**[00:10] Ro**
A Petersburg army group?
**[00:12] Gu**
We've decided to bring the Allied Forces'
might to bear against the Grigori nest.
**[00:17] Gu**
Thus, we need a new army group.
**[00:19] R**
So it's finally time for a counterattack?
**[00:22] Gu**
Suomus will be helping, as well.
**[00:24] Gu**
But you, the 502nd, will be the primary force.
**[00:29] R**
Our unit?
**[00:30] Gu**
Yes.
**[00:31] Gu**
I'll brief you on details at a later date.
**[00:33] Both**
Roger.
**[00:35] Gu**
By the way, that Brave Witch from Fusou...
**[00:39] Gu**
Um, Karibuchi?
**[00:41] R**
Lieutenant Karibuchi Takami.
***SIGN*** Episode 4
"If You Want to Fight, Get Stronger!"
**[02:19] Ro**
You're sure you don't want to tell
them about Karibuchi-san?
**[02:23] R**
You mean that she isn't
with us. It's her sister?
**[02:26] R**
If I tell them, the Fusou supplies
will be cut off, correct?
**[02:30] Ro**
Very sly.
**[02:32] R**
Call it "strategic."
**[02:40] S**
Finally time for the counterattack?
**[02:42] R**
We've learned that we can destroy a nest.
**[02:45] R**
Of course.
**[02:46] S**
But we still haven't been told how the
501st destroyed the nest, have we?
**[02:52] Ro**
Krupinski is writing a letter to the
501st's Hartmann right now
**[02:56] Ro**
for more information.
**[02:59] R**
All that's left is our own strength.
**[03:04] H**
Okay!

One.
**[03:13] H**
Two.
**[03:15] H**
Three!
**[03:18] H**
Yes!
**[03:19] Ro**
You're doing something interesting.
**[03:21] H**
Yes!
**[03:22] H**
It's a training exercise my sister
used to do all the time.
**[03:35] H**
The way you're doing it isn't very stylish.
**[03:37] H**
If you have better control over your magic,
**[03:40] H**
you can cross like this, too.
**[03:43] H**
Please tell me how to do it, Rossmann-san!
**[03:45] Ro**
First, I shall test you to see if you're
worthy of receiving my training.
**[03:50] H**
Test me?
**[03:51] H**
All right, Rossmann-sensei!
**[03:53] Ro**
But if you cannot pass in a week,
**[03:56] Ro**
you will go back home.
**[03:59] Gi**
One week, huh?
**[04:03] Gi**
Wake up, Kanno!
**[04:04] Gi**
An enemy attack?!
**[04:05] Gi**
No! Hikari is...
**[04:09] Gi**
A week, huh?
**[04:11] Gi**
But what will Rossmann-sensei do for a test?
**[04:15] Ro**
Now, spin it up.
**[04:16] H**
Yes!
**[04:17] Ro**
Keep the RPMs at 1,500.
**[04:19] H**
Right!
**[04:31] Ro**
Your Unit seems displeased.
**[04:34] H**
Chidori isn't happy?
**[04:35] Ro**
No. Because of you, it cannot
bring its full power to bear.
**[04:40] H**
Because of me?
**[04:48] Ro**
Just as I thought.
**[04:50] Gi**
We're having Orussian-style zakuski today.
**[04:54] H**
It looks so good!
**[04:55] H**
I've never had anything like this!
**[04:59] Gi**
Hey, I heard...
**[05:01] Gi**
You've only got a week left.
**[05:03] Gi**
Don't say that!
**[05:05] Gi**
I'm not here for a week.
**[05:06] Gi**
I'll be here forever!
**[05:07] Gi**
So you're getting shipped back, huh?
**[05:13] Gi**
All right, set it to semi-automatic
and hit that target.
**[05:16] H**
It's so small...
**[05:17] Ro**
Ready.
**[05:18] H**
R-Right!
**[05:19] H**
* Hold the gun close, and support*
* it with your shoulder.*
**[05:23] H**
*Silently pull the trigger.*
**[05:25] H**
*And shoot!*
**[05:28] Ro**
Your magical energy is weak.
**[05:30] Ro**
You cannot absorb the recoil, can you?
**[05:33] Ro**
Take five steps forward.
**[05:35] H**
R-Right!
**[05:39] Ro**
Ready.
**[05:42] Ro**
Fire.
**[05:44] Ro**
Five more steps.
**[05:45] H**
Right.
**[05:47] R**
Five more steps.
**[05:48] H**
Right!
**[05:50] R**
Five more steps.
**[05:51] H**
Right!
**[05:53] H**
I did it!
**[05:54] Ro**
I didn't expect it to be so bad.
**[05:57] Ro**
You have an overwhelming
lack of magical power.
**[06:00] Ro**
You're nowhere near the base level
at which I can teach you.
**[06:03] H**
Then, the test...
**[06:05] Ro**
You fail.
**[06:06] H**
In that case, I'll run twice
as much in the morning!
**[06:09] H**
And my magical power will get—
**[06:11] Ro**
No, it won't.
**[06:13] Ro**
Magical power is something you are born with.
**[06:15] Ro**
It isn't something you can change later.
**[06:17] H**
But I still have a week, don't I?
**[06:19] H**
Let me continue the testing, please!
**[06:23] Ro**
Come this way, then.
**[06:24] H**
Right!
**[06:25] Gi**
Maybe it is impossible, after all...
**[06:27] Gi**
See?
**[06:28] Gi**
It's just as I said.
**[06:30] Gi**
Kanno, when did you get here?
**[06:35] H**
It's so tall!
**[06:43] Ro**
Go and fetch that.
**[06:44] H**
Right.
**[06:45] H**
I'll go get my Unit.
**[06:47] Ro**
No flying.
**[06:49] H**
Then, how?
**[06:51] Ro**
I'll show you.
**[06:54] Ro**
Redistribute your magical power to your front,
**[06:56] Ro**
and then distribute it appropriately
to your hands and feet.
**[06:59] Ro**
If you properly control the parts that
touch the wall, you can climb.
**[07:02] H**
W-We didn't learn that in school!
**[07:08] Ro**
If you cannot do it, go home.
**[07:10] Ro**
If you cannot pass this test, I refuse
to let you participate in the attack.
**[07:15] Ro**
What will you do?
**[07:16] H**
I'll do it!
**[07:17] H**
*That's right.*
**[07:18] H**
*I have to try!*
**[07:20] H**
*I can't give up before I've even tried!*
**[07:28] H**
Ow...
**[07:32] Ro**
If you get it, bring it to me.
**[07:36] Gi**
Is that really a test?
**[07:39] Gi**
It doesn't matter. If she fails, she's done.
**[07:45] R**
That is an interesting idea.
**[07:47] R**
But can she get it?
**[07:50] Ro**
Probably not.
**[07:51] Ro**
But it's better for her that she
understands that she cannot.
**[07:56] R**
It's the least you can do, huh?
**[07:58] R**
What do you think, Flight Lieutenant?
**[08:00] S**
If nothing else, she has more than
enough guts and enthusiasm...
**[08:04] S**
But her magical power is
fundamentally too weak.
**[08:07] S**
She has lots of stamina, but she
isn't cut out for fighting.
**[08:11] R**
Then she's useless here, on the front lines?
**[08:14] S**
Yes.
**[08:16] H**
My hands are numb...
**[08:18] Gi**
What's your problem?
**[08:20] Gi**
If you aren't going to eat that, I will.
**[08:23] H**
I will eat!
**[08:27] Gi**
Hot!
**[08:28] H**
I'm sorry!
**[08:30] ---**
Second Day
**[08:32] Gi**
Hey, is she doing better than yesterday?
**[08:34] Gi**
Anyone could improve with a full day of work.
**[08:37] Gi**
You're worried about her?
**[08:38] Gi**
No way.
**[08:42] H**
What?
**[08:46] H**
Ow...
**[08:48] Gi**
Hikari?
**[08:48] Gi**
Are you okay?
**[08:49] Gi**
There's a bird's nest up there!
**[08:52] Gi**
It's a chidori.
**[08:53] Gi**
The chicks are preparing to leave the nest.
**[08:55] H**
A chidori?
**[08:59] Gi**
You don't get it?
**[09:01] Gi**
Rossmann-sensei is telling you to give up.
**[09:04] H**
But if I get the hat off the top...
**[09:07] Gi**
Idiot! There's no way you can get that!
**[09:10] Gi**
Can you do it?
**[09:12] Gi**
It's easy.
**[09:18] Gi**
Wow!
**[09:20] Gi**
Huh?
**[09:24] Gi**
Even if you can do this, it's useless!
**[09:28] H**
But I have to do it.
**[09:33] Gi**
Just do it yourself!
**[09:34] H**
*Rossmann-sensei could do it!*
**[09:44] Gi**
That's enough for today, right?
**[09:46] Gi**
You look tired.
**[09:47] Gi**
Let's hit the saunas.
**[09:49] H**
The saunas?
**[09:50] Gi**
When you're tired, the sauna is the best place.
**[09:52] Gi**
Close the doors!
**[09:54] Gi**
You're lowering the temperature!
**[09:55] H**
Right!
**[09:57] K**
I heard sensei's giving you a hard time.
**[10:01] K**
Nao-chan's worried about you.
**[10:04] Gi**
I am not!
**[10:05] Gi**
Hey, Karibuchi.
**[10:06] Gi**
Throw some water on the rocks
to raise the temperature.
**[10:08] H**
Right!
**[10:15] Gi**
So cold!
**[10:16] Gi**
That was deliberate, wasn't it?!
**[10:17] H**
No!
**[10:24] H**
Third Day
**[10:25] H**
I'm sorry...
**[10:26] H**
I'll stay away from you.
**[10:38] Gi**
She doesn't learn.
**[10:40] R**
She is still at it.
**[10:41] Ro**
She made it farther up than yesterday.
**[10:44] R**
What will you do if she pulls it off?
**[10:48] R**
She fell.
**[10:50] R**
Fourth Day
**[10:52] H**
I know!
**[10:56] R**
So that's her plan?
**[10:58] Ro**
She fell.
**[11:00] ---**
Fifth Day
**[11:01] Gi**
What's wrong, Hikari?
**[11:03] Gi**
Why aren't you eating?
**[11:05] H**
I thought if I were a little
lighter, I could go higher.
**[11:08] Gi**
You're a *Dreadnought*-class idiot, aren't you?
**[11:10] H**
No good...
**[11:12] H**
I'm too hungry to do it...
**[11:16] H**
Sixth Day
**[11:18] H**
I need to eat a lot!
**[11:22] Gi**
She's getting really tired.
**[11:24] Gi**
She's been using all her magic power for days.
**[11:27] Gi**
That isn't normal.
**[11:28] Gi**
She stopped.
**[11:34] Gi**
Hikari!
**[11:38] Gi**
She fell asleep.
**[11:42] Gi**
Jeez, now she's making us work.
**[11:46] Gi**
What's the point of that test?
**[11:48] Ro**
Are you worried about her?
**[11:50] Gi**
No, but...
**[11:53] Gi**
What?
**[11:54] Ro**
I promised that if she could
get the hat off the tower,
**[11:57] Ro**
she could join the attack.
**[11:59] Ro**
If she cannot do even that, she would
die in combat, if she joined.
***SIGN*** Neuroi
The mysterious enemy that threatens mankind.
From ancient times, there were beings called "monsters,"
which were strange-looking creatures that would appear
from time to time. However, a new "monster" appeared during the war in 1914.
This new "monster" with metallic armor came to be known as the "Neuroi."
They have various shapes, sizes, traits, and methods of attack.
Their goals and strategies are an absolute mystery, but if you
are able to find and destroy their "core," they can be destroyed.
**[12:12] ---**
**[12:17] H**
Huh?
**[12:19] H**
What am I doing in my room?
**[12:22] Ro**
You're starting at this hour?
**[12:24] H**
Rossmann-sensei!
**[12:25] Ro**
Come with me.
**[12:30] Ro**
Hikari-san, what kind of
Witch do you want to be?
**[12:33] H**
What kind?
**[12:34] H**
I want to be a great Witch, who helps
everyone, like my big sister!
**[12:38] Ro**
That's impossible.
**[12:40] H**
Why?
**[12:41] Ro**
I once taught a girl like you,
**[12:44] Ro**
who wanted to fight, no matter what.
**[12:47] Ro**
She was very serious and
very enthusiastic, but...
**[12:51] H**
Her magical power was weak?
**[12:53] Ro**
Yes.
**[12:54] Ro**
I knew she wasn't cut out for combat.
**[12:57] Ro**
But I gave in to her enthusiasm,
and let her fight the Neuroi.
**[13:01] H**
What happened to her?
**[13:06] Ro**
She was never able to fly again.
**[13:08] Ro**
On the battlefield,
people lacking combat ability
**[13:11] Ro**
bring only sadness to themselves
and those around them.
**[13:15] H**
But was she really sad?
**[13:18] H**
Sensei, if I'll cause problems for
others, I'll go back to Fusou.
**[13:22] H**
But if I can help, even a little,
**[13:26] H**
I want to stay here!
**[13:27] Ro**
Then...
**[13:28] H**
I know!
**[13:29] H**
I have to get the hat, right?
**[13:31] H**
Let me try until the last minute!
**[13:35] Ro**
Do as you want.
**[13:36] H**
Okay!
**[13:38] ---**
Seventh Day: The Final Day
**[13:40] Gi**
The wind's strong.
**[13:42] Gi**
And today is her last day.
**[13:43] Gi**
She has bad luck.
**[13:53] Gi**
Hikari!
**[13:59] Ro**
What?
**[14:01] H**
I'm glad I didn't hit the nest...
**[14:04] Gi**
Hey, are you okay?
**[14:06] H**
The nest is fine!
**[14:08] Gi**
Jeez.
**[14:16] H**
Ow...
**[14:18] H**
Higher up, the wind is stronger.
**[14:20] Gi**
Hikari...
**[14:21] Gi**
Hey, you can't do it in this wind.
**[14:23] Gi**
Ask Rossmann-sensei for another day—
**[14:25] Ro**
No. There will be no extensions.
**[14:28] H**
Rossmann-sensei...
**[14:29] Ro**
There isn't much time left.
**[14:31] H**
Right!
**[14:34] Ro**
Stop.
**[14:35] Ro**
And let your legs hang there.
**[14:37] H**
I'll fall!
**[14:38] Ro**
Just do it.
**[14:39] Ro**
Focus the magic power your feet
were using into your hands.
**[14:43] H**
Okay!
**[14:44] Gi**
Is that possible?
**[14:46] Gi**
What are you thinking, Sensei?
**[14:48] H**
*Focus on my hands...*
**[14:53] H**
I did it! I did it!
**[14:55] Ro**
Now let your left hand go.
**[14:58] Ro**
You don't have the magical power to
distribute throughout your body.
**[15:01] Ro**
But you can focus it in one spot.
**[15:05] H**
Right!
**[15:10] Gi**
Wow, she's only using one hand?
**[15:12] Ro**
Put your magical power in your left hand,
and then switch before you fall.
**[15:16] Ro**
Use only your hands to climb.
**[15:17] H**
Okay!
**[15:20] Gi**
She...
**[15:21] Ro**
Now, right.
**[15:22] H**
Okay!
**[15:23] Ro**
Left.
**[15:23] H**
Okay!
**[15:24] Ro**
Right.
**[15:24] H**
Okay!
**[15:25] Gi**
Wow.
**[15:27] Gi**
She's climbing... She's climbing!
**[15:29] Gi**
She's using just her hands.
**[15:35] Ro**
What?
**[15:36] R**
Weren't you going to make her give up?
**[15:39] R**
True, given her lack of magic
power, this is all she has.
**[15:43] R**
But even if she uses this to pass your
test, it will be hard from now on.
**[15:48] Ro**
She just doesn't know when to give up.
**[15:51] R**
I see...
**[15:52] R**
And you like that in a student?
**[16:02] Gi**
You can do it, Hikari!
**[16:04] H**
*It's so cold, my hands are becoming numb.*
**[16:11] R**
The Suoyarvi base, north of Lake Ladoga,
**[16:13] R**
has detected a medium-sized
Neuroi coming from the east.
**[16:17] R**
All Witches, prepare to sortie.
**[16:18] H**
Neuroi?!
**[16:23] Gi**
I wish I could've gone with her.
**[16:27] H**
I'm so close...
**[16:31] Gi**
I forgot something.
**[16:32] Gi**
H-Hey, Kanno!
**[16:36] H**
I'm out of energy...
**[16:40] Gi**
Hey, you!
**[16:43] H**
Kanno-san?
**[16:44] Gi**
How long are you going to stay at base?
**[16:46] Gi**
You're pissing me off!
**[16:48] Gi**
You know there isn't any way you
can make it into the 502nd!
**[16:52] H**
We can't know until we try!
**[16:53] Gi**
We do know.
**[16:55] Gi**
If you try hard and fail, you'll fail
the rest of your life!
**[16:57] H**
I'm not a failure!
**[16:59] Gi**
I said that you're a failure!
**[17:01] H**
I'm not a failure!
**[17:02] Gi**
You are!
**[17:03] H**
I'm not!
**[17:04] Gi**
Give up and return to Fusou, you failure!
**[17:07] H**
I'm not a failure!
**[17:08] Gi**
You're a failure!
**[17:08] H**
I'm not a failure!
**[17:09] Gi**
You're a failure!
**[17:10] H**
I'm not a failure!
**[17:11] Gi**
You're a failure!
**[17:11] H**
I'm not a failure!
**[17:13] H**
I'm not a failure!
**[17:14] H**
I'm not a failure!
**[17:15] H**
I'm not a failure! I'm not a
failure! I'm not a failure!
**[17:17] H**
I'm not a failure!
**[17:18] H**
I'm not a... failure!
**[17:25] Gi**
You did it, after all.
**[17:31] H**
Kanno-san...
**[17:33] Ro**
You passed.
**[17:35] H**
Sensei!
**[17:36] Ro**
We're sortieing. Get ready.
**[17:41] H**
Right!
**[17:46] H**
Launching!
**[17:51] H**
Chidori's totally different than before.
**[17:53] H**
It sounds happy!
**[17:55] Ro**
That is the true form of the Shiden Kai.
**[17:57] H**
Sensei!
**[17:58] Ro**
Let's go.
**[17:59] ---**
Right!
**[18:02] Ro**
Neuroi sighted.
**[18:03] Gi**
Kanno, heading in first!
**[18:05] S**
Forwards, attack.
**[18:07] S**
Flying Officer, support them!
**[18:08] K**
Roger!
**[18:10] Gi**
Okay... Let's go!
**[18:17] Gi**
You're too far forward!
**[18:25] Gi**
Where's the core?
**[18:29] Gi**
It's no good. I can't see it.
**[18:31] Gi**
Huh?
**[18:32] Gi**
It's Hikari!
**[18:33] Gi**
She did it!
**[18:36] Gi**
You're late.
**[18:41] Ro**
Hikari-san...
**[18:43] Ro**
You cannot be your sister.
**[18:46] Ro**
Keep dodging the attacks until you're
close enough to hit the enemy.
**[18:51] Ro**
Be yourself.
**[18:54] H**
Okay!
**[18:59] H**
Right!
**[19:02] H**
Left!
**[19:05] H**
My body's moving the way I want.
**[19:07] H**
I've become one with Chidori!
**[19:12] Gi**
Wow!
**[19:13] Gi**
She's dodging it!
**[19:15] Gi**
The Shiden Kai is spinning like it should.
**[19:17] Gi**
She's concentrating her power in the Unit.
**[19:19] Gi**
Is it thanks to her training?
**[19:21] Gi**
That's Rossmann-sensei for you.
**[19:37] H**
I can see the core!
**[19:45] Ro**
The core?
**[19:46] Gi**
Hikari found the core!
**[19:47] Gi**
Now that we know where the core is...
**[20:05] Gi**
Wow, Hikari!
**[20:07] Gi**
Beginner's luck, I guess.
**[20:09] Ro**
You saw the core?
**[20:10] H**
Yes, I did.
**[20:11] H**
I saw it when we collided,
just like last time.
**[20:14] Ro**
When you collided with it?
**[20:19] R**
You're sure?
**[20:20] Ro**
Yes.
**[20:20] Ro**
It seems she can see the cores by
making contact with the Neuroi.
**[20:24] R**
I've heard rumors of this.
**[20:26] R**
Karibuchi Hikari, it appears you have
the unique magic of Contact Eye.
**[20:30] H**
Contact Eye?
**[20:31] R**
But never use it.
**[20:34] H**
Why?
**[20:35] H**
If I have magic eyes—
**[20:35] R**
Don't throw away your life.
**[20:37] R**
Why do you think Takami used that technique?
**[20:40] H**
Which technique?
**[20:41] R**
The Absolute Eye. You haven't heard of it?
**[20:44] H**
The Absolute Eye?
**[20:46] Ro**
She didn't want to worry you, huh?
**[20:48] R**
I heard the story during the Battle of Libau.
**[20:50] R**
It's a powerful technique, which lets
you see multiple Neuroi cores,
**[20:55] R**
or special-type cores, in an instant.
**[20:58] Ro**
But it heavily stresses mind and body,
**[21:01] Ro**
and it badly weakens your shields.
**[21:04] Ro**
So using it without support is suicide.
**[21:07] Ro**
Don't let the sacrifice Takami made to
protect you and the fleet be wasted.
**[21:12] Ro**
Sis...
**[21:14] Ro**
So that's what she did.
**[21:16] R**
Listen.
**[21:17] R**
No using the Contact Eye.
**[21:18] R**
Got it?
**[21:20] H**
Understood.
**[21:24] H**
Sis... Chidori...
**[21:26] H**
I made it into the 502nd.
**[21:33] Gi**
Hikari, congrats!
**[21:36] Gi**
I'm disappointed I didn't get the Shiden Kai.
**[21:40] H**
I'll become stronger!
**[21:45] Ro**
You need to keep flying.
**[21:48] Ro**
And to become your own person.

The temperature keeps dropping!

-20... -30...
**[23:30] Ro**
How could it get cold so quickly?
**[23:32] Ro**
Is that a Neuroi?

**[00:05] Gi**
Georgette, that's your fifth bowl
today, and it isn't even dinner.
**[00:09] Gi**
But, Sada-chan, I'm taste testing.
**[00:13] Gi**
Right, right.
**[00:15] K**
Georgette-chan...
**[00:16] K**
Why not let me taste test you?
**[00:20] Gi**
Here, try some and see how it tastes.
**[00:25] K**
That isn't fair, Shimohara-chan!
**[00:28] H**
Morning!
**[00:30] K**
Morning, Hikari-chan.
**[00:31] Gi**
Good morning.
**[00:32] Gi**
Um, I have somewhere to be...
**[00:37] H**
Georgette-san!
**[00:39] H**
Does she dislike me?
**[00:42] Gi**
No, she just...
**[00:44] K**
She's just very shy.
**[00:47] K**
She won't even respond to the
feelings I have for her!

**[02:33] H**
*Georgette-san ate alone, before we did.*
**[02:38] H**
This kasha is great!
**[02:40] Gi**
I used buckwheat.
**[02:42] Gi**
The soup's great, too!
**[02:44] R**
In Orussia it's called "shchi."
**[02:46] S**
Kasha and shchi... Our daily bread.
**[02:50] S**
One of Orussia's most famous
home-cooked meals.
**[02:54] H**
Shimohara-san, you can cook good
Orussian food, too, can't you?
**[02:58] Gi**
I'm glad you liked it.
**[03:00] K**
Shimohara-chan's cooking skills are the best!
**[03:03] R**
Orussian cooking is good, but isn't Fusou
cooking also delicate and wonderful?
**[03:08] R**
Can you make anything, Hikari-san?
**[03:10] H**
I like the navy curry my sister makes!
**[03:13] Gi**
That wasn't the question!
**[03:15] K**
Hikari-chan really is cute.
**[03:17] Gi**
*I'm the best chef, huh?*
**[03:18] SBackground**
I'd love to try that curry, though.
**[03:24] H**
I'm so full...
**[03:28] H**
It's all clean again!
**[03:31] H**
Who...
**[03:42] H**
Georgette-san?
**[03:44] Gi**
Karibuchi-san...
**[03:45] H**
You were the one cleaning
my room, weren't you?
**[03:50] Gi**
Um, my family runs a boardinghouse.
**[03:54] Gi**
So I thought I could make everyone's
beds and tidy up the rooms.
**[03:58] H**
I see! Thank you!
**[04:03] ---**
**[04:05] H**
So many books!
**[04:07] Gi**
What are you doing here?!
**[04:09] H**
Kanno-san?
**[04:11] H**
Is this room...
**[04:12] Gi**
It's my room!
**[04:13] Gi**
What are you looking at?
**[04:15] H**
Nothing!
**[04:17] H**
You like books, don't you?
**[04:19] Gi**
So you were looking at my stuff!
**[04:21] H**
Let me borrow a book sometime!
**[04:23] Gi**
Shut up! Get out!
**[04:24] Gi**
You stupid girl!
**[04:27] Gi**
Ow!
**[04:29] Gi**
The corner... The corner...
**[04:31] H**
Are you okay?
**[04:33] Gi**
Wait.
**[04:37] Gi**
Will that do?
**[04:40] Gi**
Yeah, thanks.
**[04:44] H**
Georgette-san, your face is red.
**[04:48] Gi**
It's just when I use healing magic,
my body warms up a little.
**[04:52] Gi**
B-Bye...
**[04:59] Gi**
What are you doing?
**[05:01] Gi**
You get out, too!
**[05:05] R**
The Neuroi advance has
stopped at Lake Ladoga,
**[05:10] R**
but we believe once the lake starts
to freeze, they'll swarm south.
**[05:14] R**
In other words, heading this way.
**[05:17] K**
The lake freezes in early December, right?
**[05:20] R**
We have less than a month, then.
**[05:22] R**
So we need to wait for resupply, and then
construct a new defensive perimeter.
**[05:28] R**
Who's on recon patrol for the day?
**[05:32] R**
I'm expanding the patrol area to Lake Ladoga's
northeastern side, to Petrozavodsk.
**[05:37] R**
If you see anything, tell us all that you can.
**[05:40] All**
Roger.
**[05:41] R**
Hikari-san, you go, as well.
**[05:43] R**
It's a good chance to practice
long-distance flight.
**[05:46] H**
Right!
**[05:47] H**
Thank you for having me.
**[05:48] Gi**
Of course. Thanks for coming.
**[05:50] Gi**
Th-Thanks for coming...
**[05:53] ---**
Lake Ladoga
**[05:56] Gi**
It's nice and sunny today, isn't it?
**[05:59] Gi**
But a cold front's moving in, so I
heard it'll snow by nightfall.
**[06:03] Gi**
We'll be back by evening. Don't worry.
**[06:09] H**
Didn't I do it like this?
**[06:12] H**
Huh?
**[06:13] H**
I didn't touch it... I slammed into it, right?
**[06:16] Gi**
Karibuchi-san?
**[06:17] H**
Yes?
**[06:18] Gi**
What are you doing?
**[06:20] H**
*That's right...*
**[06:21] H**
* I'm not supposed to tell them*
* about the Contact Eye!*
**[06:24] H**
U-Um... I was doing stretches!
**[06:30] H**
So, Shimohara-san,
where in Fusou are you from?
**[06:34] Gi**
The land of Aki.
**[06:35] Gi**
No, I mean Onomichi, in Hiroshima.
**[06:38] H**
Onomichi?
**[06:39] H**
Onomichi is famous for its hills, isn't it?
**[06:41] H**
I'm from Sasebo, in Nagasaki. But there
are lots of hills, just like Onomichi.
**[06:45] H**
I used to run up and down them all the time!
**[06:48] Gi**
I loved those hills, too.
**[06:50] H**
You're so amazing, Shimohara-san.
**[06:54] H**
You've been with the 502nd forever!
**[06:56] Gi**
No, I'm not much use to the unit.
**[07:01] H**
That can't be true!
**[07:02] H**
Everyone loved the food
you made this morning.
**[07:06] Gi**
My cooking skills don't matter.
**[07:08] Gi**
Because I'm in this unit, I need
to fight the Neuroi and win.
**[07:15] Gi**
Compared to the others, I still
have a long way to go.
**[07:20] Gi**
I must work harder and fight the Neuroi!
**[07:24] Gi**
You're plenty good enough, Sada-chan!
**[07:28] Gi**
W-We're crossing Lake Ladoga.
**[07:31] Gi**
Let's concentrate on the mission.
**[07:33] Gi**
Yes.
**[07:34] H**
Right!
**[07:40] H**
It's snow... Snow!
**[07:42] Gi**
It seems the cold front's moving
faster than expected.
**[07:44] Gi**
Let's finish our recon and get back.
**[07:50] Gi**
It's snowing hard. Are you okay?
**[07:53] H**
I'm fine.
**[07:54] Gi**
We'll be going back soon. Hang in there.
**[07:57] H**
Right!
**[07:58] Gi**
This doesn't make sense.
**[08:00] Gi**
We should be reaching Petrozavodsk by now.
**[08:05] H**
It's so cold...
**[08:07] Gi**
I can see the town.
**[08:10] H**
Look!
**[08:12] H**
The town...
**[08:14] Gi**
Petrozavodsk is frozen?
**[08:17] Gi**
But how?
**[08:25] Gi**
A Neuroi is above the clouds!
**[08:28] H**
I can't see anything.
**[08:30] Gi**
Sada-chan has the ability
to see distant things.
**[08:33] Gi**
Let's go.
**[08:34] H**
Right!
**[08:46] Gi**
There it is!
**[08:47] Gi**
This is Georgette. We've found a Neuroi.
**[08:49] Gi**
Come in, 502nd base!
**[08:53] Gi**
The radio isn't getting through.
**[08:55] Gi**
What do we do, Sada-chan?
**[08:57] Gi**
*I can do this.*
**[08:59] Gi**
Let's fight.
**[09:01] Gi**
You stay behind, Karibuchi-san.
**[09:02] H**
Right!
**[09:08] Gi**
Sada-chan, we shouldn't do anything reckless!
**[09:11] Gi**
I'm a Witch of the 502nd, too.
**[09:13] Gi**
I'll defeat as many Neuroi as I can!
**[09:20] Gi**
Karibuchi-san!
**[09:22] H**
I'm okay!
**[09:32] Gi**
No way.
**[09:33] Gi**
My gun's frozen...
**[09:37] Gi**
What do we do, Sada-chan?
**[09:39] Gi**
Karibuchi-san?
**[09:40] H**
My gun isn't frozen!
**[09:42] H**
I'll try it!
**[09:44] Gi**
No, Karibuchi-san!
**[09:47] Gi**
Her Unit's also frozen!
**[09:49] Gi**
No way!
**[09:50] Gi**
The Neuroi is emitting cold air
and lowering the temperature?
**[09:53] Gi**
Karibuchi-san, get back!
**[09:58] Gi**
Karibuchi-san!
**[10:02] H**
My body...
**[10:04] H**
w-won't move...
**[10:09] Gi**
Karibuchi-san!
**[10:12] Gi**
The engine...
**[10:13] Gi**
It stopped!
**[10:24] Gi**
Are you all right, Georgette?
**[10:26] Gi**
Yes, I'm fine. And you, Sada-chan?
**[10:29] Gi**
I'm okay.
**[10:32] Gi**
What about Karibuchi-san?
**[10:35] Gi**
There she is!
**[10:44] Gi**
Karibuchi-san, hang in there!
**[10:47] Gi**
She's so cold!
**[10:48] Gi**
She's starting to get frostbite!
**[10:51] Gi**
What should we do? It's my fault!
**[10:53] Gi**
I was so focused on beating the Neuroi...
**[11:02] Gi**
Sada-chan, you can blame yourself later.
**[11:04] Gi**
We must save Karibuchi-san first!
**[11:08] Gi**
Yes, you're right, Georgette.
**[11:17] Gi**
Stay strong, Karibuchi-san.
**[11:23] R**
It's been four hours since we lost contact.
**[11:27] K**
I hope my cute, little kitties are all right.
**[11:30] Gi**
Jeez, those guys are making us worry.
**[11:33] Gi**
What a pain.
**[11:34] Gi**
Yeah, what a pain!
**[11:36] Gi**
You were the first to get into your Unit.
**[11:39] Gi**
Sh-Shut up!
**[11:40] S**
We aren't going out to look for them.
**[11:43] Gi**
We aren't? Why not?
**[11:45] S**
Look at this.
**[11:47] Gi**
With this visibility, we cannot go out.
**[11:51] S**
Everyone, stand by for further orders.
**[11:54] S**
That is all.
**[11:55] Gi**
Damn it!
***SIGN*** Magic
The general term for the magical powers that the Witches use.
The kind of power, size, and total amount are hereditary,
but by training and learning effective ways of using it,
they can use abilities beyond their normal powers.
There are also characteristic magical powers that
only exist in certain Witches like magical eyes that allow them to see far or see through
certain things, or healing powers
that can cure injuries and illnesses.
**[12:04] ---**
**[12:13] H**
So warm...
**[12:18] H**
Georgette-san?
**[12:21] Gi**
Karibuchi-san, I'm so glad you're okay!
**[12:23] Gi**
Georgette, any more will put you in danger.
**[12:28] H**
Um... Guys, your clothes...
**[12:33] H**
Me, too?!
**[12:35] Gi**
We took off our clothes
to directly share our body heat.
**[12:42] Gi**
Georgette used heat from her healing
magic to warm you all night.
**[12:46] H**
I'm sorry...
**[12:48] H**
I went ahead, without listening to all of you.
**[12:52] Gi**
No...
**[12:53] Gi**
I'm the one who should apologize.
**[12:57] Gi**
Looking at you always hurt me
**[13:02] Gi**
because I couldn't cure Takami-san.
**[13:04] H**
Georgette-san...
**[13:06] Gi**
I should have apologized at the start,
but I lacked the courage.
**[13:11] Gi**
I was running away from you.
**[13:14] Gi**
I don't think this is enough for
you to forgive me, but...
**[13:18] Gi**
I'm sorry!
**[13:19] H**
No, my sister only survived
because you were there.
**[13:24] H**
I'm really grateful!
**[13:28] Gi**
Karibuchi-san...
**[13:33] Gi**
You're both friends now, aren't you?
**[13:49] H**
Can't we start a fire?
**[13:51] Gi**
We couldn't find anything to burn...
**[13:54] Gi**
Are you cold?
**[13:55] H**
No, I'm fine.
**[13:57] Gi**
I found your gun, but...
**[13:59] H**
The barrel...
**[14:00] H**
We can't shoot it like that, right?
**[14:02] H**
What about the Neuroi?
**[14:04] Gi**
It seems there aren't any close.
**[14:06] H**
Did it head toward the base?
**[14:08] H**
We need to hurry and tell them!
**[14:10] Gi**
But the radio isn't working...
**[14:13] Gi**
And we can't move in this blizzard.
**[14:17] Gi**
We just have to survive and tell
the base about the Neuroi!
**[14:22] Gi**
I found something interesting nearby.
**[14:24] Gi**
Let's head there.
**[14:26] Gi**
A tank?
**[14:27] Gi**
It must have been destroyed
in the battle with the Neuroi.
**[14:33] Gi**
It's really cold, though...
**[14:34] Gi**
Oh, I just found these.
**[14:37] Gi**
White birch bark.
**[14:39] Gi**
It contains oil, so it will
burn, even when wet.
**[14:49] Gi**
It's so warm!
**[14:50] Gi**
Shimohara-san, you can even start fires?
**[14:53] Gi**
My father was a scientist, and we
used to go camping often.
**[14:57] Gi**
I learned a lot.
**[15:02] H**
Come to think of it, we haven't
eaten since yesterday, right?
**[15:06] Gi**
That's right!
**[15:07] Gi**
I have some biscuits!
**[15:09] Gi**
Let's share them.
**[15:10] H**
Really?
**[15:11] Gi**
Yeah, of course!
**[15:14] R**
What is this?
**[15:16] S**
It's soup, isn't it? Probably.
**[15:22] K**
Well? Good, isn't it?
**[15:24] K**
I made it with love, from the best
ingredients that sensei found.
**[15:28] R**
What?!
**[15:35] R**
The rare Orussian caviar I
spent a year gathering...
**[15:40] R**
Damn you, you fake countess!
**[15:43] Gi**
What is this?
**[15:44] Gi**
We really do need Shimohara to cook...
**[15:47] Gi**
W-Wow, Flight Leader.
**[15:49] Gi**
You're calm, even at a time like this.
**[15:52] R**
This is terrible.
**[15:56] H**
It isn't stopping at all.
**[15:59] Gi**
Who'd have thought a Neuroi
could emit cold air?
**[16:02] Gi**
It's using the cold air to stimulate
the cold front, causing a blizzard.
**[16:07] Gi**
By now, Petersburg must be
under a terrible blizzard, too.
**[16:10] Gi**
Does the base realize the snowstorm
is a Neuroi attack?
**[16:13] Gi**
I doubt they'd expect that.
**[16:15] H**
Then, we should hurry and tell them!
**[16:17] Gi**
But how?
**[16:19] Gi**
For now, we have to wait
for the blizzard to stop.
**[16:26] R**
Any word from the ground-based search teams?
**[16:28] S**
Not yet.
**[16:30] S**
You two really think this blizzard is
somehow related to the Neuroi?
**[16:35] R**
The air seems strange.
**[16:44] Gi**
Karibuchi-san, get up.
**[16:47] Gi**
The snowstorm has stopped!
**[16:55] Gi**
Petersburg is pitch-black.
**[16:58] Gi**
Looks like a terrible
blizzard is surrounding it.
**[17:00] Gi**
If the blizzard around
here has stopped, then...
**[17:03] Gi**
The Neuroi moved, right?
**[17:05] H**
Then, I'm sure the base must have
realized and begun their attack!
**[17:09] Gi**
I don't know about that.
**[17:11] Gi**
The Neuroi is hidden in the clouds.
**[17:13] Gi**
You can't see it from the base...
**[17:15] Gi**
It also may not show up on radar.
**[17:18] Gi**
And they can't fly in a blizzard that strong.
**[17:21] Gi**
Which means that we are probably the
only ones who know about the Neuroi.
**[17:26] H**
Then, let's defeat it together!
**[17:28] Gi**
But if we're close, the cold
air will freeze us again.
**[17:34] Gi**
Nothing is impossible for a Witch.
**[17:37] Gi**
My commander used to often say that.
**[17:39] Gi**
Right? Let's try!
**[17:43] H**
If we warm our Units, they can fly.
**[17:46] H**
But we have no usable guns.
**[17:47] H**
What do we do?
**[17:49] Gi**
Use heat to shatter it.
**[17:51] H**
Heat?
**[17:52] Gi**
If you put hot water in a cold glass,
**[17:55] Gi**
the temperature difference
makes it easier to break.
**[17:57] H**
In other words, if we warm it quickly,
it'll be easier to shatter?
**[18:02] Gi**
Yes, we'll use fuel to do it fast.
**[18:04] H**
Wow!
**[18:05] H**
But where can we find fuel?
**[18:08] Gi**
Yeah.
**[18:10] Gi**
Right here.
**[18:11] Gi**
But what about the core?
**[18:14] H**
Let's just punch it, like Kanno-san!
**[18:17] Gi**
We can't do that.
**[18:19] Gi**
But...
**[18:21] Gi**
I have a good idea.
**[18:38] Gi**
This will make the cold a bit more bearable.
**[18:41] Gi**
I put small aluminum fragments
in the diesel fuel we gathered.
**[18:44] Gi**
That'll make it a simple combustion agent.
**[18:47] H**
Right!
**[18:48] Gi**
All right, let's go.
**[18:50] Gi**
Roger!
**[18:55] Gi**
Look.
**[18:57] Gi**
Lake Ladoga is...
**[18:59] H**
It's frozen solid!
**[19:01] Gi**
It's getting colder...
**[19:04] Gi**
There's no doubt.
**[19:05] Gi**
The Neuroi is inside those clouds.
**[19:07] Gi**
Let's head into the clouds!
**[19:15] H**
I-It's cold!
**[19:18] Gi**
Sada-chan, we need to hurry!
**[19:22] Gi**
Begin the attack.
**[19:28] Gi**
Burn!
**[19:40] Gi**
The core is there!
**[19:41] Gi**
Right!
**[19:48] Gi**
No! It's already started to freeze!
**[19:50] H**
I'll support Shimohara-san!
**[19:52] H**
You warm your Unit!
**[19:54] Gi**
No good! I can't use healing magic
unless someone's injured!
**[19:59] H**
Then...
**[20:01] Gi**
Karibuchi-san?!
**[20:04] H**
Will that do?
**[20:06] Gi**
Yeah.
**[20:13] Gi**
Now, we can fly a little more.
**[20:15] Gi**
Thanks, you two.
**[20:18] Gi**
Go!
**[20:31] H**
We did it!
**[20:32] H**
We did it, guys!
**[20:33] Gi**
We did it, Sada-chan!
**[20:35] Gi**
Thanks, you two!
**[20:37] Gi**
Now, let's return to base. I'm hungry.
**[20:40] Gi**
Yeah.
**[20:44] R**
I'm so glad you three are all safe.
**[20:47] Gi**
If a blizzard like that were enough
to kill you, it'd be pathetic.
**[20:50] K**
You're such a terrible liar, Nao-chan...
**[20:54] R**
Still, who would have thought a
Neuroi was behind the blizzard?
**[20:58] R**
That was some impressive work, girls.
**[21:02] Gi**
No, we only did our job.
**[21:05] Gi**
That looks good!
**[21:06] Gi**
Today, I tried making Fusou-style cooking.
**[21:11] Gi**
Shimohara-san's cooking
is really amazing, huh?
**[21:16] Gi**
Oh?
**[21:17] Gi**
This chawanmushi...
**[21:19] Gi**
Yes, there was some caviar left over
in the bottom of the cans,
**[21:22] Gi**
so I used it.
**[21:24] R**
You really know how to use caviar!
**[21:26] Gi**
Totally different than
a certain fake countess.
**[21:30] K**
Caviar's just salty. I don't
know why it's so great.
**[21:33] Gi**
That's why you're a fake countess!
**[21:35] Gi**
Isn't this great?
**[21:37] Gi**
It's great to win on the battlefield,
**[21:39] Gi**
but this is also nice, right?
**[21:47] Gi**
The power of food is amazing, isn't it?
***SIGN*** To Be Continued
**[21:52] R**
It's good.
***SIGN*** Petersburg is silent and empty.
***SIGN*** When I went looking for the Neuroi, I found...
***SIGN*** Memories of a lost past? Or an illusion?

**[00:00] S**
Imagine yourself flying,
and keep your balance.
**[00:03] H**
Right, Sensei!
**[00:05] S**
Hey, wait!
**[00:07] H**
Nipa-san...
**[00:09] Gi**
I'm sorry!
**[00:10] S**
Wait!
**[00:12] R**
Balance!
**[00:18] H**
Nipa-san!
**[00:21] Gi**
Why is there an oil can on the ground?
**[00:23] S**
Nipa-san?
**[00:26] Gi**
S-Sasha-san?
**[00:31] Gi**
Kneel right there!
***SIGN*** Episode 5
"Good Luck"
**[02:08] S**
You wrecked another Unit.
**[02:11] H**
Is your head okay, Nipa-san?
**[02:14] Gi**
I'm fine, yeah...
**[02:16] Gi**
My inherent magic is Super Recovery.
**[02:19] Gi**
I can't heal anyone else...
**[02:23] Gi**
But see!
**[02:24] Gi**
I'm fine.
**[02:25] H**
Wow!
**[02:26] H**
You can crash as many times as you want, huh?
**[02:28] R**
Keep dodging.
**[02:30] R**
Neuroi attacks are a lot tougher than this.
**[02:32] H**
Right, Sensei—
**[02:34] Gi**
"Crash as many times as I want"?
**[02:37] S**
Let's see...
**[02:38] S**
What got damaged this time?
**[02:46] S**
I found it.
**[02:47] S**
I can easily fix this myself.
**[02:50] Gi**
That's my Sasha-san!
**[02:52] Gi**
With you, even if I crash again—
**[02:53] S**
Again?
**[02:54] Gi**
Safety first...
**[02:56] H**
Can Sasha-san tell how to fix
a Unit just by looking at it?
**[03:00] R**
Her inherent magic is Image Memorization.
**[03:04] R**
She can remember everything,
**[03:05] R**
from complicated technical plans
to her breakfast ten years ago.
**[03:09] R**
If she uses her magic to remember
something, she'll never forget it.
**[03:12] H**
Wow!
**[03:14] Gi**
Sasha-san, you're the combat leader.
**[03:17] Gi**
I wish you could use your power
for things other than repairs.
**[03:21] Gi**
Sorry.
**[03:57] Gi**
Neuroi have attacked the
northeastern observation post.
**[04:00] Gi**
Anyone who can launch, please do.
**[04:02] Gi**
I have to go!
**[04:03] Gi**
You stay here, Nipa-san.
**[04:05] Gi**
The repairs aren't finished yet.
**[04:08] Gi**
No fair!
**[04:14] Gi**
What's the situation?
**[04:15] S**
According to soldiers who saw the
attack, only one shell was fired.
**[04:18] S**
They said it came from the
outskirts of Petersburg.
**[04:21] Gi**
Damn it.
**[04:22] Gi**
They finally made it close to town, then?
**[04:25] Gi**
Until now, Lake Ladoga has kept
the land-based Neuroi away,
**[04:29] Gi**
but a short while ago, it froze.
**[04:31] R**
Captain, your orders.
**[04:33] R**
I leave it to you, Sasha.
**[04:35] K**
So, Combat Leader? Your orders?
**[04:38] S**
W-We'll split up and search
the surrounding area.
**[04:43] S**
Put special emphasis on the
area around Lake Ladoga.
**[04:45] All**
Roger!
**[04:47] Gi**
Sasha-san... How long
am I supposed to do this?
**[04:53] Gi**
I'm losing feeling...
**[05:00] Gi**
This is...
**[05:01] Gi**
This is Shimohara and Georgette's unit.
**[05:03] Gi**
Point A, nothing unusual.
**[05:05] Gi**
Point B, nothing strange.
**[05:07] S**
Roger.
**[05:08] S**
Return to base, please.
**[05:09] H**
We still haven't found the Neuroi.
**[05:12] S**
We'll have the ground-based Witches
search for the Neuroi.
**[05:16] S**
Rossmann-san, please go on
ahead with Karibuchi-san.
**[05:19] S**
I will make one more trip around.
**[05:22] Gi**
Roger.
**[05:23] Gi**
We're going back, Hikari-san.
**[05:25] H**
Roger.
**[05:48] S**
The Neuroi!
**[06:04] S**
It got away...
**[06:07] R**
This is Rall. They got Warehouse #1.
**[06:10] S**
It can't be.
**[06:11] S**
They were targeting
the town from the beginning?
**[06:15] Gi**
First the observation post,
and now a warehouse?
**[06:18] R**
We're already low on supplies.
**[06:20] R**
Losing that warehouse hurts.
**[06:22] S**
I'm sorry...
**[06:24] S**
I lowered my guard, and it escaped.
**[06:27] Gi**
Everyone fails occasionally.
**[06:31] R**
Once again, only a single shot was fired.
**[06:33] R**
An ultra-long-range, pinpoint attack
from a hidden artillery unit
**[06:37] R**
in a snowfield, 88 kilometers from Petersburg.
**[06:39] K**
That's a surprise.
**[06:41] K**
It's a first-rate artillery fighter, then.
**[06:43] R**
Even the Neuroi cannot fire a pinpoint
strike from that range.
**[06:49] R**
But...
**[06:51] Gi**
The observation teams say that before
both attacks, they detected
**[06:54] Gi**
a small electromagnetic signal
from the targeted facilities.
**[06:58] Gi**
What does that mean?
**[07:00] R**
It means a Neuroi is serving as a
marker, guiding the artillery.
**[07:04] Gi**
Then, the Neuroi... are inside the town?
**[07:09] R**
So we split the unit in two.
**[07:11] R**
Edytha, Krupinski, Kanno,
Shimohara, and Georgette
**[07:15] R**
will find and destroy the artillery Neuroi.
**[07:19] R**
Sasha, Nipa, and Karibuchi will locate and
destroy the marker Neuroi in town.
**[07:25] R**
You two are from Orussia and Suomus.
**[07:28] R**
You must have some sense of the city layout.
**[07:29] S**
But I was born in the South.
I don't know this city.
**[07:33] R**
Well, you can figure something out.
**[07:36] S**
It isn't that easy...
**[07:38] Gi**
I'm with you, Sasha-san!
**[07:41] Gi**
Let's both do our best!
**[07:43] S**
Yes.
**[07:51] Gi**
I know what Flight Leader Rall said,
**[07:53] Gi**
but I only came here once, for some
shopping when I was little.
**[07:57] Gi**
I really don't know this place well.
**[08:00] H**
What did you buy?
**[08:02] Gi**
Watch out!
**[08:04] Gi**
Are you all right, Hikari?
**[08:06] H**
I guess!
**[08:08] H**
Um, Sasha-san?
**[08:10] S**
Yes?
**[08:11] H**
Do you know a lot about this town?
**[08:14] S**
I said this yesterday,
but I was born in the South.
**[08:18] S**
I guess my grandmother lived here
before she had to evacuate.
**[08:21] Gi**
Then, it's important to you, isn't it?
**[08:24] Gi**
We'll do our best to protect
it from the Neuroi!
**[08:27] S**
No one is here,
**[08:29] S**
so defending the town is pointless.
**[08:32] Gi**
But your grandmother's house...
**[08:34] S**
I have no personal memories of it.
**[08:36] S**
I never came to visit her here, not even once.
**[08:42] Gi**
Sasha-san?
**[08:43] S**
Instead of defending an empty town,
**[08:45] S**
our job as Witches is to defeat the Neuroi.
**[08:48] Gi**
B-But...
**[08:50] S**
Don't let yourself be distracted
by irrelevant things
**[08:53] S**
and destroy the Unit I just fixed, please.
**[08:57] Gi**
Right...
**[08:59] R**
The observation team has picked up
another signal from Warehouse #2.
**[09:03] R**
Head there immediately.
**[09:05] S**
Roger.
**[09:09] Gi**
We didn't make it in time.
**[09:11] H**
No...
**[09:12] S**
Split up.
**[09:13] S**
The marker Neuroi may still be nearby.
**[09:16] Gi**
Right!
**[09:20] Gi**
Damn it. Where is it?
**[09:26] Gi**
Jeez, today isn't my day...
**[09:30] Gi**
There it is! It was disguised!
**[09:32] S**
A Neuroi that can disguise itself?
**[09:34] S**
We follow it!
**[09:35] S**
After me!
**[09:36] All**
Right!
**[10:00] S**
Jeez, what are you doing?
**[10:21] S**
Here!
**[10:22] S**
Huh? How can I fly without
wondering where I'm going?
**[10:51] S**
What was that?
**[10:53] Gi**
Sorry we fell behind, Sasha-san!
**[10:55] Gi**
Where's the Neuroi?
**[10:56] S**
I do know this town.
***SIGN*** Petersburg Base
A base located in Petersburg, Orussia,
and it is the 502nd Joint Fighter Wing's point of operations.
They used a stronghold that was originally
built around the 18th century, and the obelisk that
towers around the center makes it stand out.
It is a strategic position for the Eastern front,
but because securing supply lines are difficult,
every fight with the Neuroi puts them in a difficult position.
**[11:06] ---**
**[11:11] R**
According to the analysts, the artillery shell
was created from the Neuroi's cells.
**[11:16] R**
It can only fire three rounds per day.
**[11:19] Ra**
So we're safe for the rest of the day?
**[11:22] Ra**
Still... The marker Neuroi in the
town can disguise itself?
**[11:27] Ra**
Another pain to deal with.
**[11:28] R**
Yes.
**[11:30] Ra**
What's wrong, Sasha?
**[11:32] S**
Nothing.
**[11:33] S**
I-I'm sorry.
**[11:34] S**
If I'd only taken it out...
**[11:37] Ra**
It happens.
**[11:39] Ra**
Get back out there tomorrow.
**[11:43] S**
What was that?
**[11:56] S**
I don't remember ever recording that.
**[12:01] S**
But why could I remember it so clearly?
**[12:05] S**
What am I thinking about?
**[12:07] S**
I need to defeat the Neuroi,
not protect the town!
**[12:16] S**
Nipa-san?
**[12:17] S**
What are you doing here?
**[12:19] S**
That's my Unit, right?
**[12:22] Gi**
I-I-It's nothing!
**[12:26] S**
Wh-What are these scribbles?
**[12:28] Gi**
U-Um, this is...
**[12:30] S**
That's going too far for a prank!
**[12:33] S**
It's true that I've been hard on you.
**[12:37] S**
But that doesn't mean you can...
**[12:39] Gi**
No, that isn't it! This is—
**[12:41] S**
I'm not hard on you because I want to be!
**[12:45] S**
But...
**[12:46] S**
I'm the combat leader. I must
take care of everyone.
**[12:50] Gi**
S-Sasha-san...
**[12:52] S**
Forget it.
**[13:16] H**
Sasha-san's going off on her own today, huh?
**[13:20] H**
Nipa-san?
**[13:22] Gi**
Oh, Sasha-san, right?
**[13:25] Gi**
She said she wanted to focus
on memorizing the town.
**[13:28] H**
The whole town?!
**[13:30] Gi**
She isn't going that far.
**[13:32] Gi**
To smoke out the Neuroi, she's memorizing
areas they're likely to attack, she said.
**[13:39] Gi**
I made her mad, huh?
**[13:40] H**
Nipa-san, in front of you!
**[13:43] H**
Are you okay, Nipa-san?
**[13:45] Gi**
Again?
**[13:47] Gi**
A statue, up here?
**[13:52] H**
We've found the marker Neuroi!
**[13:54] H**
In pursuit!
**[13:55] S**
Where is it?
**[13:56] Gi**
North of the naval district...
**[13:58] Gi**
Nipa-san slammed head-first
into a street light!
**[14:01] Gi**
Nipa-san, hang in there!
**[14:03] S**
Jeez, that girl...
**[14:05] S**
I'm not sure if she's lucky or not.
**[14:18] S**
Over there!
**[14:21] S**
That one's obvious!
**[14:52] Gi**
We smoked it out!
**[14:53] Gi**
Way to go, Sensei.
**[14:54] Gi**
After all that artillery fire,
**[14:56] Gi**
we can narrow down its location a little.
**[15:00] Gi**
Now, let's finish it.
**[15:02] All**
Roger!
**[15:16] S**
What just happened?
**[15:22] S**
This is...
**[15:31] S**
I knew it...
**[15:34] S**
I knew it. I've...
**[15:39] H**
Sasha-san!
**[15:40] Gi**
Are you okay?
**[15:41] Gi**
You aren't hurt?
**[15:44] S**
*I know this town.*
**[15:48] S**
*I have been here!*
**[15:52] S**
*That's right.*
**[15:53] S**
* When I was still little, my mom and*
* I came to Grandma's house.*
**[15:59] S**
* And I played with the*
* children in town, when...*
**[16:05] S**
*I used my magical power for the first time.*
**[16:15] S**
*I was terrified of how everyone would react.*
**[16:21] S**
*I cried and started to run.*
**[16:27] S**
*And...*
**[16:31] S**
*I ran to Grandma's house, didn't I?*
**[16:36] S**
*Orussia was a superstitious place,*
**[16:38] S**
*so I was scared of being treated as a Witch.*
**[16:41] S**
*And scared of myself for being one.*
**[16:43] S**
* I was so scared of it, I*
* sealed those memories.*
**[16:47] S**
* Maybe that's why I didn't care*
* what happened to this town.*
**[16:56] S**
* When I came back in tears, Mom and*
* Grandma held me tight, didn't they?*
**[17:05] H**
U-Um...
**[17:06] H**
What's wrong, Sasha-san?
**[17:13] S**
I'm sorry. Let's get back to the mission.
**[17:17] Gi**
We received word from Kanno.
**[17:19] Gi**
They found the Neuroi and are engaging.
**[17:21] S**
I see.
**[17:22] S**
I hope we can locate the Neuroi soon, but...
**[17:26] Gi**
Darn it...
**[17:27] Gi**
There's a comms tower up there,
**[17:29] Gi**
so this might be the next target.
**[17:32] H**
Um, sorry!
**[17:34] H**
That building looks really bright.
**[17:37] H**
Why is that making me sneeze?
**[17:39] Gi**
That's weird...
**[17:40] S**
No.
**[17:44] S**
* I hated this town so much,*
* I sealed off my memories.*
**[17:47] S**
*It's ironic that those memories
would prove so useful.*
**[17:53] S**
That church doesn't have a steeple.
**[17:56] Gi**
Sasha-san, you mean the thing on top, right?
**[18:00] S**
You think you've hidden yourself?
**[18:05] H**
There it is!
**[18:08] S**
No!
**[18:12] S**
It's marked the area!
**[18:16] Gi**
Core located!
**[18:17] Gi**
Let's finish this!
**[18:24] Gi**
What?
**[18:28] K**
Give it up.
**[18:34] Gi**
I'm sorry, Sasha-san.
**[18:36] Gi**
It fired the shell.
**[18:37] Gi**
It will hit in fifty seconds!
**[18:40] S**
Roger. We'll evacuate at once.
**[18:42] S**
This area won't withstand the attack.
**[18:45] H**
But this area is where your—
**[18:47] S**
I told you.
**[18:48] S**
There's no need to defend an empty town.
**[18:51] S**
This is an order.
**[19:14] H**
Nipa-san?
**[19:15] S**
What's wrong?
**[19:24] H**
Nipa-san!
**[19:26] S**
What are you doing?
**[19:27] S**
Hurry and run away!
**[19:28] Gi**
N-No!
**[19:34] S**
Nipa-san!
**[19:39] S**
Nipa-san...
**[19:40] S**
Nipa-san?
**[19:42] S**
Nipa-san, hang in there!
**[19:45] S**
Nipa-san, I'm so glad you're all right...
**[19:50] Gi**
Sorry, I broke another one.
**[19:52] S**
I'm more worried about you!
**[19:55] Gi**
I'm fine.
**[20:00] Gi**
See? Look.
**[20:03] S**
Why did you do something so crazy?
**[20:06] Gi**
I don't know the details, but...
**[20:09] Gi**
This town's really important to you, isn't it?
**[20:13] Gi**
When I thought that, my body
moved on its own...
**[20:17] S**
Why?
**[20:18] S**
I'm always so hard on you...
**[20:23] Gi**
I saw it...
**[20:25] Gi**
Here, inside my Unit.
**[20:30] Gi**
This is...
***SIGN*** Good Luck
**[20:34] Gi**
I was really happy.
**[20:37] Gi**
So I did the same thing to your Unit.
**[20:41] Gi**
You know how ladybugs are thought
to be good luck in Europe?
**[20:47] S**
Th-That was a ladybug?
**[20:52] Gi**
If I can protect my comrades and
the things they care about,
**[20:55] Gi**
just by getting hurt a little,
**[20:58] Gi**
that's great, isn't it?
**[21:01] Gi**
Sasha, there's no need to be scared
or afraid of being a Witch.
**[21:08] Gi**
Because it's a wonderful power that will
let you protect what you care about.
**[21:20] Gi**
Sasha-san?
**[21:22] Gi**
Huh? What? Wait!
**[21:23] S**
You dummy!
**[21:27] S**
Dummy!
**[21:29] Gi**
I-I-I'm sorry!
**[21:31] Gi**
Hikari! Stop watching and do something!
**[21:35] S**
*Just wait.*
**[21:37] S**
* I'll protect this place so that, someday,*
* we can see each other here again.*
**[21:41] S**
* Using the Witch's power that*
* you were so proud of.*
**[21:48] S**
*Along with my comrades!*

Late December, 1944
**[00:04] H**
It's so cold!
**[00:12] H**
Right.
**[00:19] H**
The river's frozen!
**[00:30] Gi**
Morning, Hikari!
**[00:33] Gi**
Hey!
**[00:34] Gi**
Over here!
**[00:36] Gi**
Come here!
**[00:38] H**
Nipa-san and Kanno-san?
***SIGN*** Episode 7
"On a Holy Night"
**[02:15] H**
I-It's cold, huh?
**[02:17] Gi**
The river's frozen.
**[02:19] Gi**
Of course it's cold.
**[02:20] Gi**
The Neva River freezes every December.
**[02:24] Gi**
Actually, it's later than usual this year.
**[02:25] Gi**
Is it a warm winter?
**[02:27] Gi**
How is this a warm winter?
**[02:28] Gi**
This is the problem with Suomusians.
**[02:30] H**
So, what are you doing?
**[02:33] Gi**
The river's frozen,
**[02:35] Gi**
so I thought playing with a sled might be fun.
**[02:37] Gi**
You're weird.
**[02:39] H**
Recently, the sun's been
rising really late, huh?
**[02:42] Gi**
Sunrise in Petersburg is at 10:00 AM,
and sunset is at 4:00 PM.
**[02:48] Gi**
In northern Suomus, they have
what's called the "polar night."
**[02:50] Gi**
Sometimes, the sun never comes out.
**[02:54] H**
I wouldn't know when to get up!
**[02:57] All**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[02:59] Gi**
Me?
**[03:00] Gi**
I can't push it like this.
**[03:01] background**
Me first!
**[03:02] Gi**
Guess I'll have to remove these.
**[03:03] Gi**
Jeez.
**[03:07] Gi**
Here, I go!
**[03:11] H**
It's so cold...
**[03:13] H**
Yay!
**[03:18] Gi**
This feels so good!
**[03:20] Gi**
Having fun, Hikari?
**[03:22] H**
I am...
**[03:23] Gi**
I'm not!
**[03:27] Gi**
It's sunrise!
**[03:34] H**
The river's frozen,
**[03:35] H**
the sun is rising so late...
**[03:37] H**
It's so different than Sasebo!
**[03:39] Gi**
Of course it is!
**[03:41] Gi**
We're more than 7,000 kilometers from Sasebo.
**[03:43] Gi**
Winter's cold around here,
**[03:46] Gi**
but there's lots of fun to have.
**[03:47] Gi**
There's a festival, too.
**[03:49] H**
A festival?
**[03:50] Gi**
Okay, who's next?
**[03:53] Gi**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[03:55] H**
I lost...
**[03:57] H**
Here, I go.
**[03:58] H**
This is fun!
**[04:00] Gi**
I'm going to die!
**[04:02] Gi**
Kanno, look.
**[04:04] Gi**
What's that?
**[04:05] Gi**
It's wet.
**[04:06] Gi**
The ice is thinner there!
**[04:08] Gi**
Karibuchi, stop!
**[04:10] Gi**
I tripped!
**[04:12] Gi**
Screw you!
**[04:25] H**
I'm sorry...
**[04:27] Gi**
That was bad luck, huh?
**[04:29] Gi**
Don't get me caught up in it!
**[04:31] Gi**
I couldn't help it!
**[04:33] Gi**
This was your idea!
**[04:34] Gi**
Hikari, save me!
**[04:36] H**
Huh?
**[04:38] H**
Kanno-san, your face looks weird.
**[04:41] Gi**
Are you picking a fight?!
**[04:44] Gi**
Hikari!
**[04:51] R**
A cold?
**[04:52] Gi**
Yes.
**[04:53] Gi**
I gave her first-aid,
**[04:55] Gi**
so I think her fever will be down by tomorrow.
**[04:58] K**
I heard you two dropped
her into a frozen river?
**[05:02] Gi**
No, we got dropped!
**[05:03] Gi**
Um, Witches don't usually get colds, do they?
**[05:07] R**
No.
**[05:08] Gi**
Witches are protected by their magic,
**[05:11] Gi**
so they rarely get injured or ill.
**[05:14] S**
But when physical and mental
exhaustion builds up,
**[05:17] S**
even a Witch can get sick.
**[05:19] Gi**
Exhaustion...
**[05:21] Gi**
Because I dragged her out,
early in the morning?
**[05:24] R**
That isn't the only reason.
**[05:26] R**
To begin with, Hikari-san didn't
have a lot of magic power.
**[05:29] S**
I think the biggest factor is all
our recent difficult missions.
**[05:34] S**
I should have kept that more in mind.
**[05:37] R**
We're fortunate it is only a cold.
**[05:40] Gi**
Hikari...
**[05:42] Gi**
The food's ready.
**[05:47] K**
Shimohara-chan, what is this?
**[05:51] R**
It's similar to gnocchi.
**[05:55] R**
Is this fully cooked?
**[05:58] K**
It isn't a pierogi, is it?
**[06:00] Gi**
Pelmeni without filling?
**[06:09] Gi**
Suiton soup?
**[06:11] Gi**
I'm sorry.
**[06:12] Gi**
With the ingredients we have,
it's the best I can do.
**[06:17] S**
Supplies from Murmansk Port
have been cut off,
**[06:20] S**
and the artillery strikes on our
warehouses a few days ago
**[06:24] S**
destroyed our food storage.
**[06:26] R**
What about Suomus resupplying us?
**[06:28] R**
I've asked, but their only supply line left
is land-based, via the North Sea,
**[06:33] R**
and they can spare nothing.
**[06:35] R**
We're devising a plan to
restore our supply lines,
**[06:38] R**
but we simply don't have enough food.
**[06:41] K**
So we're gonna have to eat
that stuff for a while, huh?
**[06:44] K**
Um... chinton?
**[06:46] Gi**
Suiton soup.
**[06:47] R**
So we have no way to fix this now,
**[06:50] R**
and we'll just have to wait for the
supply situation to improve?
**[06:53] Gi**
Tomorrow is the base's annual
Saturnus Festival.
**[06:57] R**
We'll have to call it off.
**[06:59] Gi**
Huh?!
**[07:03] Gi**
No...
**[07:04] Gi**
Never mind...
**[07:10] Gi**
What was that "Huh?"
**[07:12] Gi**
You were planning to use the festival
to cheer Hikari up, right?
**[07:15] Gi**
If you knew, then you should
have spoken up with me.
**[07:18] Gi**
We can't do it. We have no supplies.
**[07:25] Gi**
Oh, you're up.
**[07:26] Gi**
Hikari!
**[07:27] H**
Huh?
**[07:28] H**
What's wrong?
**[07:32] H**
I collapsed from a cold?
**[07:34] Gi**
I'm sorry, Hikari...
**[07:36] Gi**
It's my fault for inviting you sledding.
**[07:38] H**
No, I was just slacking.
**[07:41] Gi**
It isn't your fault!
**[07:43] H**
I'm useless, anyway.
**[07:46] H**
I can't believe I collapsed from a cold...
**[07:48] Gi**
Get better and let's fly together again!
**[07:57] Gi**
We don't have fuel to run the base's heater.
**[08:00] Gi**
Keep warm and sleep.
**[08:02] H**
Kanno-san...
**[08:05] Gi**
That's nasty!
**[08:07] H**
I'm sorry...
**[08:14] Gi**
Let's do the Saturnus Festival.
**[08:17] Gi**
I thought you'd say that.
**[08:18] Gi**
I want to cheer up Hikari, even just a little.
**[08:22] Gi**
I want her to be glad she came to the base.
**[08:26] Gi**
Jeez.
**[08:27] Gi**
But the flight leader canceled it.
**[08:30] Gi**
And there's nothing but suiton in the base.
**[08:33] Gi**
But let's do what we can!
**[08:36] Gi**
I don't know...
**[08:38] Gi**
I know! Let's ask all the others!
**[08:41] S**
I see.
**[08:42] S**
Then, you want to put on the Saturnus
Festival for Hikari-san's sake?
**[08:46] Gi**
Can you keep it a secret
from the flight leader?
**[08:49] Gi**
Understood.
**[08:50] Gi**
It would be so nice if Grandpa Winter and
the Snow Girl could bring her a present.
**[08:56] Gi**
Grandpa Winter?
**[08:57] Gi**
A snow woman gives her a present?
**[08:59] Gi**
The Snow Girl!
**[09:00] Gi**
It's an Orussian legend.
**[09:03] Gi**
Um, is there any present we could give her?
**[09:09] Gi**
Let me see...
**[09:11] Gi**
Once, I woke up in the morning and
found a wooden doll on my pillow.
**[09:16] Gi**
I'm sure my grandmother made it,
**[09:20] Gi**
but it made me really happy.
**[09:21] Gi**
Could we make one for tomorrow night?
**[09:24] Gi**
Yes, a full day is plenty.
**[09:26] Gi**
I'll get everything ready,
**[09:27] Gi**
so tomorrow morning, let's make it together!
**[09:30] Gi**
Saturnus?
**[09:32] Gi**
In Gallia, we eat a sweet
called "bûche de Noël."
**[09:35] Gi**
It's a cake that looks like a log.
**[09:39] Gi**
A log?
**[09:40] Gi**
You can eat it?
**[09:41] Gi**
It's just how it's shaped.
**[09:43] Gi**
I'm looking, but we don't have ingredients
to make a cake anymore.
**[09:47] Gi**
What else...
**[09:49] Gi**
At my house, we put carrots under the tree.
**[09:52] Gi**
They were presents for the reindeer.
**[09:54] Gi**
Reindeer eat carrots?
**[09:58] Gi**
We don't have any carrots...
**[10:00] Gi**
I'm trying to please Hikari, not the reindeer.
**[10:03] Gi**
I want to do something for Karibuchi-san,
**[10:06] Gi**
but we don't have any supplies.
**[10:08] Gi**
Hey, what about those mushrooms
that Nipa-san's good with?
**[10:11] Gi**
I think you could find some in the forest.
**[10:14] Gi**
That might work.
**[10:16] Gi**
I'll think up a recipe tonight!
**[10:18] Gi**
Yay!
**[10:21] Gi**
We have food and a present.
**[10:23] Gi**
Is there anything else we can do?
**[10:26] Gi**
Should we ask Krupinski-san?
**[10:28] Gi**
Her, huh?
**[10:33] K**
You want to win Hikari-chan's
heart at the festival?
**[10:38] Gi**
That isn't what I said!
**[10:40] K**
Then, I'll tell you something interesting.
**[10:43] K**
On the night of this base's Saturnus Festival,
**[10:46] K**
a silver-haired fox woman appears.
**[10:49] Gi**
A fox woman?
**[10:50] K**
151cm tall.
**[10:53] K**
She says she's 19,
**[10:55] K**
but she's actually an old fox,
who's lying about her age.
**[10:58] K**
Every night she comes to suck
the blood of young Witches...
**[11:01] Gi**
The blood...
**[11:03] Gi**
There's no such thing!
**[11:05] Gi**
She's right behind you!
**[11:11] R**
I've never heard a legend like that before!
**[11:15] K**
Th-The fox woman...
***SIGN*** Saturnus Festival
A festival to celebrate the God of Agriculture, Saturn,
that is usually held from 12/17 to 12/23 to include
the Winter Solstice.
Because the sun and earth are revived
during the Winter Solstice, during that period,
the people decorate an evergreen tree to symbolize that.
They would then merrily eat and drink
and exchange small gifts they made.
**[11:33] R**
Nipa-san and Kanno-san are
trying to put on a festival.
**[11:34] ---**
Day of the Saturnus Festival
**[11:37] R**
Then you can keep them off duty for the day.
**[11:40] R**
That's very nice of you.
**[11:41] R**
That isn't it.
**[11:42] R**
Right now, we're even cutting patrols
**[11:44] R**
because I want to save supplies
for the next mission.
**[11:47] R**
Oh, I was sure you'd be interested
in the festival.
**[11:52] R**
As for punishment, I'm giving Flying Officer
Krupinski for spreading unfounded rumors.
**[11:58] R**
A fir tree...
**[12:00] R**
You need a tree for Saturnus.
**[12:09] K**
Foxes are scary...
**[12:11] ---**
I Spread False Rumors.
**[12:19] S**
You haven't told Hikari-san
about the Saturnus Festival?
**[12:23] Gi**
No, I want it to be a surprise.
**[12:26] Gi**
All right.
**[12:28] Gi**
Is it done, Kanno-san?
**[12:30] Gi**
A masterpiece, if I do say so myself!
**[12:32] Gi**
You're good, Kanno!
**[12:34] Gi**
That's a cute cat.
**[12:36] Gi**
It's a dog.
**[12:37] H**
Morning!
**[12:38] Gi**
It's Hikari... Oh, no!
**[12:40] Gi**
Hide everything! Quick!
**[12:41] Gi**
There's no time!
**[12:42] Gi**
Kanno-san, kneel!
**[12:44] Gi**
Yes, ma'am!
**[12:45] backround**
We're short on supplies, and you
keep crashing your Unit!
**[12:46] Nipa**
Hikari, you need to lie down!
**[12:48] backround**
Do you feel bad about it?
**[12:49] backround**
I do!
**[12:50] H**
I'm fine!
**[12:51] H**
My fever's gone down.
**[12:54] Gi**
You still have a little fever.
**[12:57] Gi**
Get back to your room.
**[12:59] H**
But I need to do my training.
I was in bed all yesterday.
**[13:09] K**
I finally got it back here...
**[13:12] K**
I brought the biggest one I could find.
**[13:14] K**
Oh, Hikari-chan! Look!
**[13:16] H**
No, Flying Officer!
**[13:18] K**
This tree is for Hikari-chan.
**[13:22] Gi**
That idiot...
**[13:23] H**
A tree? For me?
**[13:27] Gi**
See? You need to stay in bed!
**[13:38] H**
A festival for me?
**[13:40] Gi**
Yeah.
**[13:41] Gi**
The flying officer and Rossmann-san
are going to get yummy mushrooms.
**[13:45] ---**
I Leaked Information.
**[13:45] Gi**
Look forward to it.
**[13:52] H**
I don't really know anything
about the Saturnus Festival.
**[13:56] Gi**
It's said to be a festival collecting legends
and traditions from across Europe.
**[14:02] H**
But why are you doing all this for me?
**[14:08] Gi**
Well, you see, I joined the 502nd
just over a year ago.
**[14:13] Gi**
When I was in Suomus I had many
friends my age with whom I fought.
**[14:18] Gi**
So when I first joined the 502nd, I was
so nervous, I couldn't fit in at all.
**[14:23] H**
I can't believe you were once like that!
**[14:26] Gi**
But about a year ago, they held
the Saturnus Festival at the base.
**[14:34] Gi**
What is it?
**[14:35] Gi**
It's the same as it was in Suomus...
**[14:38] Gi**
In Suomus, my friends and I always lit candles.
**[14:43] Gi**
So when I realized this place celebrated
the same way, it cheered me up.
**[14:47] Gi**
Ever since then, I think I've been
able to fit into the 502nd.
**[14:52] H**
I love festivals, too.
**[14:54] Gi**
I think festivals have a strange power
to connect people's hearts.
**[14:59] Gi**
That's why I want you to enjoy
the Saturnus Festival, too.
**[15:03] H**
Thank you.
**[15:05] H**
You're so kind, Nipa-san.
**[15:07] Gi**
N-No...
**[15:08] Gi**
I wonder if those mushrooms are here yet!
**[15:11] Gi**
I'll go look!
**[15:21] Gi**
Wh-What's wrong, everyone?
**[15:24] Gi**
We cooked the mushrooms and...
**[15:28] Gi**
These are laughing mushrooms!
**[15:30] Gi**
Why did you pick these?
**[15:31] Gi**
Krupinski-san said they'd be delicious...
**[15:39] K**
I'm sorry, Nipa-kun.
**[15:40] K**
I ruined your festival.
**[15:45] Gi**
No...
**[15:46] Gi**
But then, the festival...
**[15:49] Gu**
A single mid-sized Neuroi
is approaching the base.
**[15:52] H**
A Neuroi?
**[15:53] Gi**
A Neuroi, at a time like this?!
**[15:56] Gi**
Kanno! Sasha-san!
**[16:02] Gi**
You, too?
**[16:04] R**
Nipa, can you hear me?
**[16:06] Gi**
Flight Leader?
**[16:07] R**
You're the only one who can launch.
**[16:09] Gi**
Roger.
**[16:16] H**
Nipa-san!
**[16:17] Gi**
Hikari?
**[16:18] Gi**
Leave it to me.
**[16:19] Gi**
No following me.
**[16:21] Gi**
That's your superior officer's order!
**[16:24] H**
Roger.
**[16:30] H**
The tree!
**[16:33] Gi**
Damn it...
**[16:34] Gi**
You'll pay for that!
**[16:36] R**
The delay in discovering the enemy was
due to some kind of ability it used.
**[16:40] R**
Be careful.
**[16:41] Gi**
Roger!
**[16:43] Gi**
I'm glad she's still okay.
**[16:50] Gi**
Damn it... Where are you?
**[16:53] Gi**
Is that it?
**[17:07] Gi**
Camouflage?
**[17:09] Gi**
Damn it! Where are you?
**[17:16] H**
Nipa-san!
**[17:17] Gi**
Hikari?
**[17:18] H**
Eleven o'clock!
**[17:20] Gi**
That way?
**[17:27] Gi**
Where are you?
**[17:28] Gi**
Hikari, it isn't here.
**[17:30] H**
I can see it!
**[17:34] Gi**
Maybe...
**[17:40] Gi**
There it is!
**[17:41] Gi**
It's only camouflaged on top!
**[18:01] Gi**
It got stuck!
**[18:06] H**
Nipa-san!
**[18:08] H**
Why is my luck so terrible?
**[18:16] H**
Who shot that?
**[18:23] Gi**
Core sighted.
**[18:32] Gi**
What happened?
**[18:35] Gi**
Hey, Nipa!
**[18:38] Gi**
Il!
**[18:41] Gi**
Enemy downed.
**[18:43] Gi**
All green.
**[18:44] Gi**
Sanya-san!
**[18:45] Gi**
It's been a while, Nipa-san.
**[18:48] H**
Who are they?
**[18:49] Gi**
Flying Officer Litvyak and Pilot Officer
Juutilainen, from the 501st.
**[18:53] Gi**
What's with those flashy outfits?
**[18:55] Gi**
Kanno-san! Sasha-san!
**[18:57] Gi**
Are you okay now?
**[18:59] Gi**
You picking a fight?
**[19:01] Gi**
We didn't eat much.
**[19:04] Gi**
L-Look at that.
**[19:08] Gi**
What is that?
**[19:10] Gi**
An NKL-16.
**[19:12] Gi**
A transport sled?
**[19:15] Gi**
It's a Saturnus present.
**[19:18] Gi**
Have you been a good girl, Nipa?
**[19:29] Gi**
Ham!
**[19:30] Gi**
And apple jam!
**[19:34] Gi**
Look, Hikari!
**[19:51] Gi**
What do you think, Hikari?
**[19:52] H**
It's so pretty!
**[19:58] K**
Sensei picked the mushrooms, too...
**[19:58] ---**
I Committed Sabotage.
**[20:01] K**
Why am I the only one punished?
**[20:04] K**
The Suomus military has completed
its resupply mission to the 502nd.
**[20:08] K**
Accepted.
**[20:10] R**
I heard things are bad for them, too.
**[20:13] Gi**
Eila and the other Suomus Witches got
stuff together to help Nipa-san.
**[20:18] S**
It's a big help, Flying Officer Litvyak
and Pilot Officer Juutilainen.
**[20:22] Gi**
Nah, it was nothing...
**[20:30] Gi**
Hey, Karibuchi!
**[20:32] H**
Yes?
**[20:34] Gi**
It's so cute!
**[20:36] Gi**
It's an Orussian doll called a matryoshka.
**[20:39] Gi**
It's for you.
**[20:41] H**
Thank you!
**[20:42] Gi**
You can open it in the middle.
**[20:48] Gi**
You can open it more.
**[20:53] H**
It's a cute piggy!
**[20:55] Gi**
It's a dog.
**[20:57] K**
I can smell it.
**[20:58] K**
I can smell it.
**[21:00] K**
This scent that's calling me.
**[21:04] K**
It was you, champagne-kun?
**[21:07] K**
Flight Leader?
**[21:08] R**
Would it be more fun if I shook it?
**[21:11] Gi**
I think so.
**[21:21] H**
It's so pretty!
**[21:23] Gi**
Yeah.
**[21:24] K**
My champagne!
**[21:27] Gi**
I was a little worried...
**[21:30] Gi**
About Nipa-san?
**[21:31] Gi**
Yeah, I thought she might not
be fitting in with the 502nd.
**[21:39] Gi**
Seems there's no need to worry.
**[21:41] Gi**
Yeah, worrying was a waste of time!

Petrozavodsk
**[00:06] Gi**
We did it, Sada-chan!
**[00:07] Gi**
This is Shimohara.
**[00:09] Gi**
We have eliminated the Neuroi
from Petrozavodsk.
**[00:13] R**
We have finished securing
the Petrozavodsk area.
**[00:19] K**
Everyone's working hard!
**[00:21] R**
This will restore the supply lines
between Murmansk, right?
**[00:25] R**
A large supply train, with new types of Units,
is en route to Murmansk from Britannia.
**[00:31] R**
Yes.
**[00:32] R**
We've been ordered to support Operation
Russelsprung by escorting the supply train.
**[00:36] R**
Strange... That area should be secure.
**[00:40] R**
Perhaps they are transporting
something very important.
**[00:43] R**
Besides the Units?
**[00:44] K**
Grape juice, maybe?
**[00:45] R**
No.

"Grape Juice for Your Eyes"
**[02:21] Gi**
There's still one present from
Il we didn't open.
**[02:24] Gi**
Let's open it up.
**[02:27] H**
I hope there's something yummy inside!
**[02:29] K**
Is there grape juice?
**[02:33] K**
Aw, weapons?
**[02:35] Gi**
Too bad...
**[02:37] Gi**
There's even a Liberator in here.
**[02:39] Gi**
What? There aren't any bullets.
**[02:41] H**
It's so cute!
**[02:42] H**
What is it?
**[02:44] Gi**
C-Cute?
**[02:45] Gi**
Are you stupid?
**[02:47] K**
This, kitty, is a Celtic magic talisman.
**[02:51] K**
See how it's shaped like a rune?
**[02:55] H**
A rune?
**[02:57] K**
Yep.
**[02:58] K**
It has a spell on it to keep enemy
bullets from hitting you.
**[03:02] H**
It's like one of Fusou's
Hamaya good luck charms!
**[03:05] H**
That's so nice!
**[03:06] H**
I want it!
**[03:07] K**
If you go on a date with me, you can have it.
**[03:10] H**
Then, I don't need it.
**[03:12] K**
Just kidding...
**[03:13] K**
You can have it, Hikari-chan.
**[03:15] H**
Yay!
**[03:16] Gi**
Hikari believed her.
**[03:18] Gi**
She's a real moron.
**[03:24] Gi**
What's this?
**[03:25] Gi**
It says "To Krupinski."
**[03:27] K**
Is it special grape juice, then?
**[03:30] K**
Open it up.
**[03:32] K**
They're snacks!
**[03:34] K**
Aw, I guess not...
**[03:37] K**
What is this?
**[03:39] Gu**
They hid microfilm inside the candy?
**[03:42] Gu**
It must be something really important.
**[03:45] K**
I almost lost a tooth.
**[03:48] K**
I see.
**[03:49] K**
This is top-secret info.
**[03:51] R**
What do you mean?
**[03:53] R**
Look.
**[03:54] S**
What is it?
**[03:57] K**
The Warlock?
**[03:58] R**
A weapon that uses a Neuroi core?
**[04:05] R**
I guess they think it takes a
Neuroi to beat a Neuroi.
**[04:09] R**
Who'd have thought they'd devise that?
**[04:11] S**
But in the end, didn't it go out of control?
**[04:15] S**
And the 501st had to deal
with it, didn't they?
**[04:18] S**
Even if they were able to defeat it,
we won't be able to recreate it.
**[04:23] R**
But the information does tell us one thing.
**[04:26] R**
There's a limit, even
to the number of Neuroi.
**[04:28] R**
If we can keep defeating them,
the nest will empty someday.
**[04:31] Gi**
If Marshal Manstein learned about this,
**[04:35] Gi**
he'd concentrate our firepower on
the Neuroi, in a war of attrition.
**[04:39] R**
Probably so.
**[04:41] S**
Does that mean...
**[04:43] R**
Yes.
**[04:44] R**
Among the supplies
**[04:46] R**
being transported to Murmansk is
our trump card against Grigori.
**[04:50] R**
That's why we're escorting it?
**[04:52] K**
Is there gonna be grape juice?
**[04:54] R**
No.
**[04:59] K**
Shimohara-chan,
**[05:01] K**
what's for dinner?
**[05:02] Gi**
Reindeer stew.
**[05:04] K**
It's been forever since we've
had something that good!
**[05:07] Gi**
It's all thanks to Eila-san and Sanya-san!
**[05:10] K**
But without grape juice, it'll taste flat.
**[05:14] Gi**
I'll take seconds!
**[05:15] Gi**
Sure thing.
**[05:18] R**
Stay seated and listen.
**[05:20] R**
I'll share the mission plan.
**[05:23] R**
A large-scale supply fleet is heading
from Britannia to Murmansk.
**[05:28] R**
Our mission is to defend that fleet.
**[05:32] R**
The area is safe, but stay sharp.
**[05:34] R**
We launch early tomorrow morning.
**[05:37] R**
Four members of the 502nd will
participate in the mission.
**[05:40] R**
Flying Officer Krupinski will have command.
**[05:44] K**
Wait...
**[05:45] K**
I'm going?
**[05:46] R**
There is a single Britannia Witch
aboard, in case of emergency.
**[05:51] K**
S-So cute...
**[05:53] K**
I'm going!
**[05:54] R**
The flight officer will select the others.
**[05:57] R**
Also, upon arrival, you
will equip your new Units,
**[06:00] R**
and perform your escort with them.
**[06:03] Gi**
New Units?!
**[06:04] Gi**
I'll go! I'll go!
**[06:05] K**
All right, then the other three
can be Nao-chan,
**[06:08] K**
Nipa-kun, and Hikari-chan.
**[06:10] H**
Me, too?
**[06:12] Gi**
Murmansk, huh?
**[06:13] Gi**
That's far away...
**[06:18] R**
So you're training secretly?
**[06:20] R**
You really want to impress them, huh?
**[06:22] K**
Hey, Sensei.
**[06:23] K**
Here to invite me for a late-night date?
**[06:25] R**
Why did you choose those three?
**[06:29] K**
How much longer do you think we can fly?
**[06:32] R**
Where is this coming from?
**[06:35] K**
We've been fighting since the war's start.
**[06:37] K**
No, in your case, since Hispania.
**[06:40] K**
We have more than enough
experience, don't we?
**[06:43] R**
You're right.
**[06:44] R**
I woke one day, and I'd
been fighting forever.
**[06:47] K**
If we were to leave, what would
happen to the base?
**[06:52] R**
It's hard to imagine.
**[06:55] K**
So I want them to get as much combat
experience as possible.
**[07:00] R**
I understand Kanno-san and Nipa-san,
**[07:03] R**
but why Hikari-san, too?
**[07:04] K**
Nao-chan and Nipa-kun are both forward types,
**[07:07] K**
so she's perfect as support, right?
**[07:10] K**
You've taken an interest in Hikari-chan.
**[07:13] K**
Which is enough for me, you know?
**[07:16] K**
And I know that you know.
**[07:20] K**
She's pretty great, isn't she?
**[07:29] Gi**
Hey, is that thing okay?
**[07:32] Gi**
Please last a thousand kilometers for me...
**[07:36] Gi**
You're taking that?
**[07:39] H**
It's great, isn't it?
**[07:40] H**
You can't have it!
**[07:42] Gi**
I don't want it, anyway.
**[07:47] H**
Since she was chosen as commander,
**[07:49] H**
even Krupinski-san's taking this seriously.
**[07:52] Gi**
Is she?
**[07:53] Gi**
She's probably thinking of bad things, right?
**[07:56] K**
Stars in the night sky.
**[07:58] K**
No, a rose with a huge flower.
**[07:59] K**
That isn't right...
**[08:01] K**
What goes before "For your eyes"?
**[08:05] K**
Hey, Hikari-chan—
**[08:06] R**
Count.
**[08:08] K**
S-Sensei, this is, um...
**[08:23] ---**
Barents Sea
**[08:26] Gu**
Captain, the Witches for the escort
mission have left the 502nd's base.
**[08:31] Gu**
Transmit our present coordinates.
**[08:33] Gu**
Aye aye, sir!
**[08:36] Gu**
Four Witches, though?
**[08:39] Gu**
They aren't satisfied with the
Britannia Witch alone?
**[08:42] Gu**
Whatever is on that ship must
be extremely important.
**[08:52] K**
I can't wait to meet that Britannia kitty!
**[08:56] H**
You sound like you're
having fun, Krupinski-san.
**[08:58] K**
Of course, you're also cute.
**[09:01] K**
But she's a type we don't have at our base...
**[09:05] Gi**
She's been like that the whole time.
**[09:07] Gi**
Damn it, I wanna punch her.
**[09:11] H**
Oh, everyone!
**[09:13] H**
It's time to rest.
**[09:15] Gi**
We've finally come three
hundred kilometers, huh?
**[09:17] H**
We're a third of the way there!
**[09:19] Gi**
I could get there quick on my own.
**[09:23] ---**
Petrozavodsk Base
**[09:40] K**
Nao-chan's so harsh...
**[09:42] Gi**
Take your damn job seriously!
**[09:44] K**
I'm always very serious.
**[09:48] K**
At least toward cute girls.
**[09:50] Gi**
I knew it.
**[09:53] H**
It's the sea!
**[09:54] Gi**
We've finally made it to the White Sea.
**[09:56] K**
We should hurry.
**[09:58] Gi**
Why?
**[09:59] K**
Over there.
**[10:00] K**
You can't see it from here.
**[10:02] K**
But Grigori, the Neuroi
nest, is past the horizon.
**[10:06] K**
But supposedly, this area is safe.
**[10:09] Gi**
Damn it... I'd like to just
rush in and destroy it!
**[10:12] K**
Don't be in such a hurry.
**[10:14] K**
That's our final goal.
**[10:16] K**
For now, the mission is our priority.
**[10:35] Gi**
It didn't last, after all...
**[10:37] H**
Nipa-san, grab on.
**[10:38] Gi**
Jeez, you're a mess.
**[10:41] K**
Look!
**[10:42] ---**
Murmansk Base
**[10:44] Gi**
It's the Murmansk base! Lucky us!
**[10:46] Gi**
Not lucky us.
***SIGN*** Joint Fighter Wing Personnel
The Joint Fighter Wing is a completely standalone
fighter wing with Witches at its center,
so they are able to carry out intelligence gathering
and pursuit missions on their own.
Because of that, every joint fighter wing has units
other than the Witches such as a management unit,
engineering unit, communication unit, and a
maintenance unit, equaling to about 1,000 personnel
that support the Witches from the shadows.
**[11:01] K**
That was so long...
**[11:02] Gi**
A thousand kilometers is a long way.
**[11:05] H**
I can keep going!
**[11:08] Gi**
Then keep flying, all the way back to Fusou!
**[11:12] K**
Look at all this stuff...
**[11:15] Gi**
There's even more, isn't there?
**[11:18] K**
Yeah.
**[11:19] K**
This is just a little bit of it.
**[11:22] Gi**
Hey, what's that big thing?
**[11:25] Gi**
Wow!
**[11:27] Gi**
Are they making a battleship or something?
**[11:28] K**
That's...
**[11:30] K**
I found cute ground-based Witches!
**[11:33] K**
I love it, I love it!
**[11:34] Gi**
Again?
**[11:37] K**
I think this is where the new Units are...
**[11:40] K**
There, they are.
**[11:41] Gi**
All right!
**[11:42] Gi**
My Shiden Kai!
**[11:44] Gi**
With this, the Neuroi are mine!
**[11:47] Gi**
It's so shiny!
**[11:49] K**
This K-Type is mine.
**[11:51] H**
What are the other boxes?
**[11:54] K**
Those are for Flight Leader Rall
and Rossmann-sensei.
**[11:57] Gi**
It's so nice that you get new Units...
**[12:00] K**
Then, you use this, Nipa-kun.
**[12:03] Gi**
But that's yours, isn't it?
**[12:05] K**
Yours broke, so we have no choice.
**[12:08] K**
More importantly, I get...
**[12:16] Gi**
Kanno, heading out first!
**[12:17] Gi**
Katajainen, here I go!
**[12:19] H**
They said we're just making sure they
work, so don't push it too hard!
**[12:23] Gi**
I know that...
**[12:28] K**
This is the stuff!
**[12:34] Gi**
The magical power buildup
is completely different!
**[12:39] Gi**
Kanno, this K-Type is super fast, too!
**[12:45] Gi**
Its climbing and descent capabilities
are completely different.
**[12:49] Gi**
Damn it, this is what Hikari's
ridden all this time?
**[12:53] H**
How is it?
**[12:55] Gi**
I won't let you get a swelled head again.
**[12:58] H**
Huh? What's wrong with my head?
**[13:04] H**
Krupinski-san, what are you drinking?
**[13:07] K**
This is especially delicious grape juice.
**[13:11] H**
Juice! I want some, too!
**[13:14] K**
It's adult grape juice, so no.
**[13:16] H**
Adult grape juice?
**[13:18] Gi**
Can I really have that K-Type?
**[13:22] K**
Sure thing!
**[13:24] K**
Grape juice after a battle is delicious!
**[13:28] Gi**
You didn't do anything!
**[13:30] Gi**
Hey, is that...
**[13:32] H**
Is that really grape juice?
**[13:35] Gi**
I wanna punch her...
**[13:38] Gi**
I'm tired, so I'm going to bed.
**[13:41] H**
Goodnight.
**[13:43] H**
Krupinski-san hasn't come back?
**[13:47] Gi**
Eh, leave her.
**[13:50] Gi**
Night...
**[13:58] H**
It's almost time to go...
**[14:00] H**
Where's Krupinski-san?
**[14:01] Gi**
She's late.
**[14:03] Gi**
There, she is!
**[14:07] K**
I feel sick...
**[14:09] Gi**
I knew it.
**[14:10] H**
What's wrong?
**[14:11] H**
Your face looks weird!
**[14:14] K**
You're so cute again today, Hikari-chan...
**[14:17] Gi**
We're about to go escort that fleet...
**[14:20] H**
You should rest.
**[14:22] K**
No, I'm going, no matter what!
**[14:25] Gi**
Flying Officer...
**[14:26] K**
I have to see the cute girl from Britannia!
**[14:30] Gi**
Let's throw her in the sea.
**[14:38] K**
My head's spinning...
**[14:40] Gi**
You should rest at base.
**[14:42] K**
But the cute girl from Britannia...
**[14:46] Gi**
I wanna punch her twice!
**[14:49] K**
Nao-chan, your flying is rougher than usual.
**[14:53] K**
Think the settings are off?
**[14:55] Gi**
Shut up!
**[15:00] Gu**
Message to the fleet.
**[15:02] Gu**
Code H.
**[15:03] Gu**
Forward ships, prepare for AA combat.
**[15:06] Gu**
Why are Neuroi in this zone?
**[15:10] Gu**
Deploy our Witch!
**[15:13] Gu**
Send an emergency message to
the 502nd Witches in transit.
**[15:16] Gi**
Emergency message!
**[15:17] Gi**
Neuroi are attacking the fleet!
**[15:19] H**
I thought Neuroi weren't supposed to be here!
**[15:22] Gi**
If they're here, they're here.
**[15:23] Gi**
Let's hurry.
**[15:26] Gi**
What's the hurry?
**[15:28] H**
They said the girl from
Britannia is in danger.
**[15:31] Gi**
We'll go, too.
**[15:36] Gu**
The *Middleton* is severely damaged!
**[15:44] Gu**
Captain, the Witch escorting us
has been shot down!
**[15:48] Gu**
Damn it...
**[15:50] Gu**
We must protect the cargo aboard
the *Ellsworth*, no matter what.
**[15:53] Gu**
Full speed!
**[15:55] Gu**
We'll use our ship as a shield.
**[15:56] Gu**
Aye aye, sir!
**[16:09] K**
This is Flying Officer Krupinski, of the
502nd Joint Fighter Wing!
**[16:14] K**
We will proceed to escort your fleet.
**[16:18] Gi**
It split!
**[16:21] K**
Nao-chan, Nipa-kun, attack
the one on the left.
**[16:24] Gi**
Roger!
**[16:25] K**
Hikari-chan, follow me.
**[16:26] Gi**
Roger!
**[16:29] Gi**
There are so many!
**[16:31] Gi**
Let's go.
**[16:36] Gi**
We let it escape!
**[16:37] Gi**
Leave it to me!
**[16:40] Gi**
Wow, this is easy.
**[16:42] Gi**
Thanks to our new Units!
**[16:47] Gi**
It's back.
**[16:48] Gi**
You take the right!
**[16:48] Gi**
Roger!
**[16:52] Gi**
It accelerates totally differently
than the Type-0!
**[17:01] K**
Hikari-chan, you watch my back.
**[17:03] K**
Stay close.
**[17:05] H**
Right!
**[17:11] H**
Wow.
**[17:12] H**
It's taking everything I have just to keep up!
**[17:19] H**
You take them, Hikari-chan!
**[17:21] H**
Right!
**[17:30] K**
Jeez...
**[17:31] K**
There's no end to them.
**[17:33] Gu**
These are the famous Brave Witches?
**[17:35] Gu**
Get the fleet into Murmansk
Port while we can.
**[17:38] Gu**
We'll back up the Witches!
**[17:49] Gi**
You ain't getting past me.
**[17:53] Gi**
Damn it! More!
**[17:55] Gi**
I'm running low on ammo!
**[17:57] Gi**
You handle this!
**[18:06] Gi**
Get lost, crane fly!
**[18:10] K**
I think that's all of them.
**[18:11] H**
The big one is the last!
**[18:14] Gi**
Bad news!
**[18:15] Gi**
The big one got past me!
**[18:16] Gi**
The smaller ones are keeping
me from catching up!
**[18:19] K**
Hikari-chan, can you go help
Nao-chan and Nipa-kun?
**[18:24] H**
But what about you?
**[18:26] K**
Don't worry about a thing...
**[18:27] K**
I'll make it work out on my own.
**[18:30] H**
Then, take this charm!
**[18:34] K**
Thanks, Hikari-chan.
**[18:36] K**
With this, I'm invincible!
**[18:38] H**
Okay, bye.
**[18:42] K**
A gun without bullets is a
good luck charm, huh?
**[18:45] K**
Now, then...
**[18:46] K**
No matter what, I can't let
them get through, huh?
**[18:50] K**
I tried to play it off,
**[18:52] K**
but this may get a little tough.
**[18:54] K**
Anyway, I'll have to do it.
**[18:57] K**
Magic Boost!
**[19:06] Gu**
Keep firing! Give it all we have!
**[19:08] Gu**
Melt the barrels if you have to!
**[19:14] Gi**
Hikari? Why?
**[19:16] Gi**
What happened where you were?
**[19:17] H**
Krupinski-san said to back you up!
**[19:21] Gi**
Then, she's alone?
**[19:23] Gi**
She's fighting another thing
like this on her own?
**[19:25] Gi**
Damn it... She's such a show-off!
**[19:34] K**
Just hang in there a little more...
**[19:52] Gi**
Out of the damn way!
**[20:07] H**
Got it!
**[20:07] Gi**
Wait, there wasn't a core, right?
**[20:10] Gi**
Which means...
**[20:11] Gi**
That's the real one?
**[20:24] K**
The core!
**[20:36] K**
No—
**[20:57] K**
Thanks, Hikari-chan.
**[20:59] K**
You saved me.
**[21:03] R**
The fleet has reached Murmansk Port.
**[21:06] R**
The damage?
**[21:07] R**
The cargo is fine, but...
**[21:09] R**
The four we sent as escorts?
**[21:13] H**
I'm glad it was nothing bad!
**[21:17] Gi**
Damn it!
**[21:19] Gi**
On her own, that woman took out one
of those things we barely handled!
**[21:22] Gi**
Now, now...
**[21:25] H**
Krupinski-san!
**[21:27] Gi**
It's so amazing that you defeated
that strong Neuroi by yourself!
**[21:30] K**
No, I'll always be there for you.
**[21:34] Gi**
Here, say, "Aah."
**[21:36] K**
Aah...
**[21:37] K**
What's wrong, everyone?
**[21:40] Gi**
I really do wanna hit her!
***SIGN*** To Be Continued
**[23:26] Gi**
The reason I fight
**[23:28] Gi**
is to defeat the Neuroi!
**[23:30] Gi**
That's why I must be strong!
**[23:32] Gi**
Stronger, stronger, stronger than I am now!
**[23:35] Gi**

**[00:04] H**
A Neuroi attack during our test flight?!
**[00:08] Gi**
It's tough...
**[00:09] Gi**
This'll be fun!
**[00:14] Gi**
Fight my fists!
**[00:18] H**
She flew straight in!
**[00:21] Gi**
One more time...
**[00:30] Gi**
*Tsurugi Issen!*
**[00:37] Gi**
Well?
**[00:38] Gi**
Now that I have the Shiden
Kai, I'm invincible!
**[00:44] Gi**
Seriously?
**[00:47] H**
Kanno-san!
***SIGN*** Episode 9
"Break Witches"
**[02:25] ---**
Kanno-san, kneel over there.
**[02:33] Gu**
Due to the Neuroi fragments
that got in the intake,
**[02:36] Gu**
the magic turbine was damaged.
**[02:38] S**
You're a flying officer now, Kanno-san.
**[02:40] S**
You need to take better care of your Unit.
**[02:42] Gi**
My rank doesn't matter!
**[02:44] Gi**
My one job is to defeat the Neuroi.
**[02:49] S**
Hikari-san?
**[02:50] H**
Yes?
**[02:51] S**
Don't you start taking after
the Break Witches, okay?
**[02:55] H**
The Break Witches?
**[02:58] S**
Three girls who always do crazy
things and break their Units.
**[03:02] S**
First, Nipa-san.
**[03:04] Gi**
I... I don't break my Units.
**[03:07] Gi**
They break on their own.
**[03:08] S**
Also, Kanno-san.
**[03:10] Gi**
I'm destroying Neuroi, right?
**[03:12] Gi**
I'm fine with breaking things!
**[03:14] S**
And Krupinski-san, who's recovering.
**[03:16] ---**
Idiot!
**[03:16] ---**
Get better soon!
**[03:18] R**
Do you have a cold now?
**[03:20] K**
A cute girl's talking about me.
**[03:24] R**
Thanks to you, our supply lines are restored.
**[03:27] R**
Good work.
**[03:28] K**
I ended up like this, though.
**[03:30] R**
It seems that Neuroi was powerful.
**[03:32] K**
Yeah...
**[03:34] K**
If Hikari-chan hadn't given
me this, I'd be dead.
**[03:37] R**
I see.
**[03:39] R**
If they're strong enough to injure you,
**[03:41] R**
I'd like to fight them sometime.
**[03:44] K**
Your own wounds still haven't healed.
**[03:46] K**
You never learn, do you?
**[03:47] K**
I'll pass.
**[03:49] R**
A large-scale operation
will be starting soon.
**[03:53] R**
Focus on healing, so you'll be ready for it.
**[03:56] K**
It's finally time?
**[03:58] R**
Yes.
**[04:05] Gi**
I'm still numb...
**[04:10] Gi**
Karibuchi?
**[04:12] Gi**
What's she doing at this hour?
**[04:18] H**
Chidori...
**[04:20] H**
I haven't heard anything.
**[04:22] H**
Is my sister okay?
**[04:24] Gi**
Don't worry.
**[04:26] Gi**
Takami won't die that easily.
**[04:29] H**
Kanno-san!
**[04:31] Gi**
She's super strong.
**[04:34] Gi**
The first time I saw her at
Kure Naval Academy,
**[04:36] Gi**
I thought to myself that she was
the only one to be my partner.
**[04:40] H**
Your partner...
**[04:42] H**
Can I be your partner?
**[04:45] Gi**
You?
**[04:47] Gi**
Yeah, right. No way.
**[04:48] H**
Then, what can I do to be your partner?
**[04:51] Gi**
That's simple.
**[04:52] Gi**
Just get stronger.
**[04:54] Gi**
Like Takami.
**[04:56] H**
My sister said that
**[04:59] H**
when we defeat the Neuroi and
bring peace back to the world,
**[05:02] H**
she wants to go on a trip with Chidori.
**[05:06] Gi**
That's just like her.
**[05:08] H**
What's the reason you fight?
**[05:11] Gi**
What else?
**[05:13] Gi**
Doesn't it piss you off, these guys coming
from nowhere and messing stuff up?
**[05:18] H**
That's just like you.
**[05:20] Gi**
But that's why I have to get strong.
**[05:23] Gi**
A lot stronger than I am now!
**[05:26] H**
You're really strong now, though!
**[05:29] Gi**
No!
**[05:31] Gi**
Krupinski's much stronger than I am...
**[05:33] Gi**
But I'm going to be stronger than
she is, and wipe out the Neuroi!
**[05:39] Gi**
As fast as I possibly can!
**[05:40] H**
Right!
**[05:41] H**
I'll do my best, too!
**[05:43] Gi**
Dummy.
**[05:45] Gi**
I'm not counting on your power.
**[05:49] H**
Well, hmph!
**[05:56] Gi**
Kanno seems a little on edge today.
**[05:59] H**
She wants to defeat the Neuroi
as fast as she possibly can.
**[06:02] Gi**
Why?
**[06:04] R**
As our first step toward destroying Grigori,
**[06:07] R**
military HQ has ordered us to destroy
the Neuroi appearing here
**[06:11] R**
and heading for Petrozavodsk.
**[06:13] H**
Petrozavodsk... Weren't we just there?
**[06:16] Gi**
We finally took it back.
**[06:18] H**
Which means that unless
we defeat this Neuroi...
**[06:21] Gi**
Our supplies will be cut off again...
**[06:24] H**
No!
**[06:25] H**
Krupinski-san got hurt
protecting those supplies!
**[06:28] Gi**
All we have to do is defeat it.
**[06:29] Gi**
Right, Flight Leader Rall?
**[06:31] R**
Yes, you're right.
**[06:34] Gi**
*I'll get experience in actual combat.*
**[06:36] Gi**
* I'll defeat as many as*
* I can, and get stronger!*
**[06:39] S**
Kanno-san,
**[06:40] S**
just because you're used to your new Unit,
don't do anything stupid.
**[06:43] Gi**
Yeah, I know.
**[06:47] Gi**
Neuroi sighted.
**[06:48] Gi**
It isn't moving.
**[06:50] Gi**
Kanno, I'm going in first!
**[06:57] S**
Everyone, keep your distance.
**[06:59] Gi**
She who hits first, wins!
**[07:00] Gi**
I'm charging right in!
**[07:06] Gi**
Hikari!
**[07:07] Gi**
What is she doing?
**[07:10] Gi**
It's like we poked a beehive!
**[07:12] Gi**
There's no time to attack!
**[07:15] R**
This attack pattern...
**[07:17] R**
Maybe...
**[07:22] R**
I knew it!
**[07:23] R**
The core!
**[07:25] R**
It was attacking to keep that area protected.
**[07:27] Gi**
Way to go, Rossmann-sensei!
**[07:29] S**
Kanno-san...
**[07:30] Gi**
Yeah, leave it to me!
**[07:35] Gi**
It's firing so heavily.
**[07:36] S**
Kanno-san, fall back.
**[07:39] Gi**
I'm fine!
**[07:40] Gi**
I'm heading in!
**[07:41] S**
Kanno-san!
**[07:42] Gi**
*Krupinski defeated that Neuroi on her own.*
**[07:46] Gi**
*I can do it, too!*
**[07:53] S**
Kanno-san!
**[08:02] Gi**
Sasha! Sasha!
**[08:06] Gi**
Sasha! Hey, Sasha!
**[08:11] Gi**
Sasha!
**[08:30] Gu**
Her heart rate's steady.
**[08:32] Gu**
It's fine now.
**[08:35] Gi**
Isn't that great, Georgette?
**[08:36] Gi**
Yeah.
**[08:42] H**
Kanno-san?
**[08:46] Gi**
It was my fault.
**[08:48] Gi**
I was too reckless, and Sasha...
**[08:51] Gi**
It isn't your fault.
**[08:55] R**
Tomorrow, we'll launch another
attack on that Neuroi.
**[08:58] R**
Until then, be sure to get enough rest.
***SIGN***
**[09:06] H**
Kanno-san...
**[09:08] Gi**
Karibuchi?
**[09:10] Gi**
What do you want?
**[09:11] H**
I was worried about Sasha-san.
**[09:18] S**
Kanno-san... Hikari-san?
**[09:21] Gi**
Sasha!
**[09:22] H**
Sasha-san!
**[09:23] S**
Kanno-san... You're safe.
**[09:27] Gi**
Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks to you!
**[09:30] S**
I'm glad...
**[09:31] S**
Thanks, both of you.
**[09:34] S**
I'm all right now.
**[09:36] Gi**
Sasha, I'm sorry! It was my fault!
**[09:40] S**
I made a mistake, not giving
you enough cover fire.
**[09:44] S**
It isn't your fault.
**[09:46] Gi**
No, if I hadn't rushed in on my own...
**[09:51] S**
That's who you are.
**[09:53] S**
So don't blame yourself.
**[09:57] Gi**
Sasha...
**[09:59] S**
I'm certain you can defeat that Neuroi.
**[10:02] S**
So do your best.
**[10:04] Gi**
Yeah, I promise I'll defeat it!
**[10:08] S**
Hikari-san?
**[10:09] S**
You help, as well, okay?
**[10:11] H**
Yes.
**[10:12] Gi**
Stay in your place!
**[10:13] H**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Witch Ranks
Unless there is a special reason, when Witches join the military,
they are appointed to the NCO rank of sergeant.
They start at a higher rank than normal military personnel,
but that is due to the fact that they are essential
to protecting the world. However, this is also done
so they won't be treated unfairly by the regular soldiers,
since they are all young women.
Also, because Witches can only fight for about
10 years at most, they also get promoted much faster.
**[10:30] Gi**
Why are you slacking off?
**[10:32] Gi**
That isn't even a warm-up!
**[10:35] H**
Okay...
**[10:36] H**
I won't lose at running!
**[10:41] R**
According to the information
we just received,
**[10:43] R**
the Neuroi hasn't moved from
that spot yesterday.
**[10:48] R**
If we can't eliminate it,
**[10:50] R**
our supply lines will be cut off
again, and we'll starve.
**[10:54] Gi**
No!
**[10:55] Gi**
We can't fight on empty stomachs.
**[10:58] H**
Let's beat that Neuroi.
**[11:00] H**
For Krupinski-san and Sasha-san's sake, too!
**[11:02] Gi**
Of course!
**[11:04] Gi**
I ain't letting that thing get
away with this any longer!
**[11:06] R**
Kanno, as a flying officer,
**[11:08] R**
you're the highest ranking person here.
**[11:11] Gi**
I'm the combat leader?
**[11:13] R**
No, Edytha will be in charge of that.
**[11:16] R**
That's all right, yes?
**[11:18] Gi**
Yeah, got it.
**[11:20] R**
Then, here's our plan.
**[11:22] R**
Based on yesterday's attack and the
area's observation team reports,
**[11:27] R**
the enemy can unleash powerful
attacks from the front,
**[11:30] R**
but not as much from the back.
**[11:33] R**
So we'll split into two groups and attack.
**[11:37] R**
Shimohara-san, Georgette-san, and I
**[11:39] R**
will head to the front and draw
the Neuroi's attention.
**[11:42] R**
During that time, Kanno-san, Nipa-san, and
Hikari-san will approach from the rear,
**[11:47] R**
and destroy the core at the center.
**[11:51] Gi**
Neuroi sighted 30 kilometers ahead!
**[11:54] Gi**
It hasn't noticed us yet.
**[11:56] R**
Let's split up here.
**[11:58] All**
Roger!
**[12:01] Gi**
Nipa, Karibuchi,
**[12:03] Gi**
let's make sure we finish this.
**[12:05] H**
Yeah!
**[12:05] Gi**
Right!
**[12:10] R**
Begin the attack!
**[12:21] R**
I'm counting on you girls.
**[12:27] Gi**
It's begun.
**[12:28] Gi**
Let's go.
**[12:29] H**
Right!
**[12:33] H**
They were right.
**[12:34] H**
It isn't attacking at all!
**[12:36] Gi**
We know where the core is, too.
**[12:37] Gi**
We can do it!
**[12:39] Gi**
Yeah, let's make this quick.
**[12:48] Gi**
What?
**[12:54] Gi**
It split?
**[12:59] R**
Change the plan.
**[13:00] R**
Intercept the split-off Neuroi.
**[13:02] Gi**
It noticed our plan!
**[13:04] Gi**
Stay calm!
**[13:05] Gi**
If we take out the core, we win!
**[13:13] H**
It changed shape!
**[13:14] Gi**
Damn it!
**[13:15] Gi**
We don't know where the core is!
**[13:16] Gi**
That isn't fair!
**[13:20] H**
We were so close!
**[13:23] Gi**
What?
**[13:26] Gi**
It's running!
**[13:28] H**
Kanno-san!
**[13:29] Gi**
The core!
**[13:30] Gi**
As long as we can find the core...
**[13:31] H**
The core's location...
**[13:48] Gi**
Unless we destroy the core,
we'll never be done!
**[13:50] H**
We're running out of magical power and ammo!
**[13:53] Gi**
Flight Leader...
**[13:54] R**
There's no choice. Withdraw.
**[13:56] H**
Wait!
**[13:58] H**
What about our supplies?
**[14:00] R**
For now, we'll have to give up.
**[14:02] H**
No...
**[14:08] H**
Captain Rall, let me use my Contact Eye!
**[14:12] R**
Sergeant Karibuchi!
**[14:13] Gi**
Contact Eye?
**[14:14] Gi**
What's that?
**[14:15] R**
Stop it, Sergeant Karibuchi.
**[14:17] H**
Please!
**[14:19] H**
If I don't use it now, when will I?
**[14:21] H**
Flight Leader Rall!
**[14:23] Gi**
What are you saying?
**[14:26] Gi**
What are you talking about, Hikari?
**[14:27] H**
If I touch a Neuroi, I can
tell where its core is!
**[14:31] Gi**
If you touch it?
**[14:33] Gi**
If you touch it... Are you stupid?
**[14:35] Gi**
That's so dangerous, it isn't useful at all.
**[14:37] H**
It is useful!
**[14:38] H**
I'll make it useful!
**[14:39] Gi**
That's impossible!
**[14:40] Gi**
Are you listening?
**[14:43] R**
Very well.
**[14:45] R**
Kanno, provide support for Karibuchi.
**[14:47] R**
Get her to the Neuroi.
**[14:49] Gi**
You're letting her do it?
**[14:51] Gi**
Flight Leader?
**[14:52] R**
That's an order, Flying Officer Kanno.
**[14:55] R**
Karibuchi will locate that core,
**[14:57] R**
and Kanno will destroy it.
**[15:00] R**
Are you listening, Flying Officer Kanno?
**[15:02] Gi**
Got it!
**[15:03] Gi**
I just have to get her there, right?
**[15:05] Gi**
Kanno!
**[15:05] Gi**
You'd damn well better not screw this up!
**[15:08] H**
Understood!
**[15:10] Gi**
Let's go!
**[15:11] All**
Roger!
**[15:15] Gi**
*Is she really planning to touch a Neuroi?*
**[15:21] Gi**
Kanno!
**[15:25] Gi**
Nipa!
**[15:28] Gi**
Pay attention!
**[15:42] Gi**
Kanno?
**[15:43] H**
Kanno-san?
**[15:45] Gi**
It's no good.
**[15:46] Gi**
This plan is stupid.
**[15:49] Gi**
It's going to fail.
**[15:51] Gi**
The mission is canceled.
**[15:54] H**
Kanno-san!
**[15:56] Gi**
What?
**[15:57] H**
You're acting weird.
**[15:59] H**
What's gotten into you?
**[16:01] Gi**
I can't do it...
**[16:05] Gi**
I can't protect you, like
Krupinski or Sasha could.
**[16:09] H**
What are you saying?
**[16:10] H**
This isn't like you!
**[16:12] H**
If we leave now, our supply lines...
**[16:14] H**
What happens to the 502nd?
**[16:16] GI**
I know!
**[16:18] GI**
I know that!
**[16:19] H**
With my Contact Eye and your ability
to break through its defenses,
**[16:22] H**
we can win!
**[16:23] Gi**
Shut up!
**[16:24] Gi**
You don't know a damn thing, you newbie!
**[16:26] H**
Then, why did Krupinski-san
and Sasha-san get hurt?!
**[16:30] H**
Wasn't it to protect our supply lines?
**[16:32] H**
Wasn't it to protect the people at base?
**[16:35] H**
Will you let their battles go to waste?
**[16:37] H**
I refuse to!
**[16:39] Gi**
H-Hey, you two...
**[16:42] H**
We're going to defeat
that Neuroi, right here!
**[16:46] H**
We have to!
**[16:47] H**
We can't just sit here!
**[16:50] H**
So take me to that Neuroi!
**[16:53] H**
Please!
**[16:54] H**
Don't say you can't do
it, before we even try!
**[16:58] H**
Please!
**[17:01] H**
Kanno-san, remember what you said?
**[17:04] H**
You said that this time,
we'd beat that Neuroi!
**[17:07] H**
So why are you getting scared now?
**[17:10] H**
There's no way you can be my
sister's partner like that!
**[17:14] H**
Can you really say
**[17:16] H**
you're one of the Break Witches?!
**[17:28] Gi**
Fine, I'll do it!
**[17:30] Gi**
I'll do it!
**[17:31] H**
Kanno-san...
**[17:33] GI**
Don't cry.
**[17:34] GI**
You think you can touch a Neuroi like that?
**[17:37] H**
I'm not crying!
**[17:38] Gi**
Let's go, Karibuchi.
**[17:39] Gi**
Stay right behind me.
**[17:42] H**
Right!
**[17:46] Gi**
What's the plan?
**[17:47] Gi**
I'll ram right into it.
**[17:50] Gi**
You follow after me.
**[17:52] H**
Got it!
**[17:53] Gi**
Nipa, you watch her back.
**[17:56] Gi**
Ah... Roger!
**[18:02] Gi**
*That's right.*
**[18:03] Gi**
*Why are you getting scared, Kanno Naoe?*
**[18:06] Gi**
*You can't stop here!*
**[18:10] Gi**
Kanno, something big is coming!
**[18:12] Gi**
Let's keep going!
**[18:29] Gi**
Now! Go, Karibuchi!
**[18:41] H**
There!
**[18:49] Gi**
It's there.
**[18:50] Gi**
It's really there!
**[18:54] H**
It split again!
**[18:58] Gi**
If we know where it is, it's ours.
**[19:11] Gi**
Die!
**[19:13] Gi**
*Tsurugi Issen!*
**[19:33] R**
What?
**[19:34] Gi**
They destroyed the core.
**[19:41] H**
We did it!
**[19:43] H**
We did it, Kanno-san!
**[19:45] Gi**
Yeah, we did it, partner!
**[19:49] H**
What did you say?
**[19:51] Gi**
Oh, nothing!
**[19:53] H**
You did say it!
**[19:55] H**
You said I was your partner!
**[19:56] Gi**
No way!
**[19:58] Gi**
You can't be my partner!
**[20:00] H**
You said it!
**[20:02] Gi**
I did not!
**[20:03] H**
You did!
**[20:05] Gi**
She did say it.
**[20:06] R**
Yeah.
**[20:09] R**
This is Edytha.
**[20:11] R**
We've eliminated the Neuroi.
**[20:13] R**
I see.
**[20:14] R**
You did it.
**[20:16] R**
You have good students.
**[20:18] R**
They're bad for my stomach.
**[20:24] Gi**
Huh?
**[20:27] Gi**
No way.
**[20:36] S**
Kanno-san, Nipa-san, Hikari-san.
**[20:38] S**
Kneel right there!
**[20:41] K**
Now Hikari-chan's a true member of the 502nd.
**[20:45] K**
And also of the Break Witches.
**[20:48] H**
Really?
**[20:49] H**
All right! Yay! Yay!
**[20:52] S**
Why are you so excited, Hikari-san?
**[20:55] S**
You kneel, too, Krupinski-san.
**[20:58] K**
Why?!
**[22:39] Post Credits**
Hikari?
**[22:42] Post Credits**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi!
**[22:44] Post Credits**
You're awake, aren't you?
**[22:46] Post Credits**
I'm glad!
**[22:48] Post Credits**
Who are you?
**[22:50] Post Credits**
I'm a Witch with the Fusou Naval Reserve,
**[22:52] Post Credits**
Miyafuji Yoshika.
**[22:54] Post Credits**
Miyafuji-san, do you know where...
**[22:57] Post Credits**
my sister, Hikari, is?
**[22:59] Post Credits**
Your sister?
**[23:01] Post Credits**
No, I don't know anything about that.
**[23:03] Post Credits**
I see...
**[23:07] Post Credits**
Where am I?
**[23:08] Post Credits**
A Witch hospital in Maizuru.
**[23:11] Post Credits**
You were badly wounded in the Arctic Sea,
**[23:14] Post Credits**
and you've been out for three months.
**[23:19] Post Credits**
Three months?

**[00:07] Gi**
It's been three weeks since you woke up.
**[00:10] T**
Admiral...
**[00:11] Gu**
I'm so glad that you made it in time
for this critical operation.
**[00:15] Gu**
I'm sure they're waiting for you.
**[00:18] T**
Thank you.

***SIGN*** Episode 10
"Big Sister and Little Sister."
**[02:08] Gi**
Let's go, Hikari!
**[02:10] H**
Right!
**[02:21] H**
The core! It's where the right wing attaches!
**[02:24] Gi**
Got it!
**[02:28] Gi**
*Tsurugi Issen!*
**[02:36] H**
We did it, Kanno-san!
**[02:38] Gi**
Yeah, you did great.
**[02:41] H**
Yeah, and I'm you're partner!
**[02:44] Gi**
No way are you my partner...
**[02:48] H**
But that's what you said last time!
**[02:51] Gi**
N-No, I didn't!
**[02:52] H**
You did!
**[02:54] Ni**
You two make a great pair.
**[02:55] K**
I'm a little jealous.
**[02:57] Gi**
Sada-chan, I'm hungry...
**[02:59] Gi**
Maybe I'll make waffles when we get back.
**[03:02] S**
All right, let's return to base.
**[03:04] S**
Before Nipa-san crashes.
**[03:06] Gi**
Huh? I'm crashing less now, right?
**[03:09] S**
Wrong.
**[03:10] Gi**
Huh? That's strange.
**[03:13] H**
Oh? What's that?
**[03:18] H**
That's...
**[03:24] Gi**
Salute Field Marshal Manstein.
**[03:32] Gu**
Right, be seated.
**[03:35] Gu**
Sorry for coming so suddenly,
Squadron Leader Rall.
**[03:38] R**
Not at all.
**[03:39] R**
And what brings you here today?
**[03:41] R**
I confidentially told some of you about this.
**[03:44] R**
But the forces at Petersburg
**[03:47] ---**
will be executing Operation Freyja
to take out Grigori.
**[03:50] R**
It's time, then.
**[03:51] H**
What's Freyja?
**[03:53] Gi**
It's one of the gods here.
**[03:55] Gi**
She's said to be the fertility goddess.
**[03:58] Gu**
With our supply lines restored,
morale has greatly improved.
**[04:02] Gu**
And we've officially decided to
execute Operation Freyja.
**[04:06] Gu**
And we will be asking the 502nd to participate.
**[04:12] Gi**
At last, huh?
**[04:13] R**
Is this mission based on the 501st
Strike Witches' victory at Gallia?
**[04:20] R**
If so, don't you think it's too risky?
**[04:25] Gu**
I see news travels fast among Witches.
**[04:27] Gu**
Don't worry. The Neuroi technology
is too powerful for us to use.
**[04:31] R**
Then...
**[04:33] Gu**
The plan is a simple one.
**[04:35] Gu**
The Petersburg troops are presently
gathering at Murmansk,
**[04:39] Gu**
where the whole force will strike at Grigori.
**[04:42] Gu**
And our success will mean...
**[04:44] R**
The loss of ability to produce new Neuroi.
**[04:47] Gu**
Correct. And then we'll enter
the undefended Grigori
**[04:51] ---**
and use an ultra-large railgun
to destroy the core.
**[04:55] Gi**
Is that what you were carrying on the ship?
**[04:59] Gi**
How do you plan to locate the core?
**[05:09] H**
Hmm?
**[05:10] Gu**
In addition, we have already selected
the Witch who will be responsible
**[05:14] ---**
for locating the core.
**[05:16] Gi**
Wait!
**[05:17] Gi**
You aren't going to make Hikari do
something so dangerous, are you?
**[05:20] Gi**
No! No, no!
**[05:22] H**
Huh? Me?
**[05:24] K**
They finally learned about it, huh?
**[05:26] R**
Calm down, Kanno-san, Nipa-san.
**[05:29] Gi**
But, Sensei! You really think
this wimp can go inside
**[05:32] ---**
a Neuroi nest and make it out okay?!
**[05:34] R**
There is still a month until the operation starts.
**[05:38] R**
If I can train Hikari-san during
that time, it will be fine.
**[05:43] Gu**
Unfortunately, the operation is in seven days.
**[05:48] Gi**
Seven days?
**[05:49] R**
What is the meaning of this?
**[05:51] R**
I was told it would be a month.
**[05:55] Gu**
Grigori has started to move.
**[05:58] S**
Grigori...
**[06:00] R**
...has started to move?
**[06:06] Gu**
If we lose our supply lines again,
the front will collapse.
**[06:10] Gu**
We can't afford to wait a month.
**[06:13] Gu**
Now is our only chance.
**[06:18] H**
U-Um—
**[06:19] Gi**
Screw you!
**[06:20] R**
Stop it, Kanno.
**[06:21] Gi**
No, I won't stop!
**[06:23] Gi**
Why aren't you
**[06:25] Gi**
telling her she doesn't have
to obey a suicide order?!
**[06:28] H**
Kanno-san...
**[06:30] Gi**
I'm opposed to this, too!
**[06:32] Gi**
I can't let my comrade be put in danger!
**[06:34] S**
Is there no other way?
**[06:37] K**
After all, I can't let my little kitty go alone.
**[06:40] Gi**
If you insist...
**[06:42] Gi**
We'll go with her.
**[06:45] Gi**
You guys...
**[06:46] Gi**
Everyone...
**[06:50] Gi**
I'll do it!
**[06:51] Gi**
I'll make sure it works!
**[06:53] Gi**
You idiot, what are you—
**[06:54] Gu**
You seem to be mistaken about something.
**[06:58] Gu**
We aren't using Sergeant Karibuchi
for this mission.
**[07:03] H**
Then...
**[07:05] Gu**
I suppose it's about time.
**[07:08] Gu**
She's here?
**[07:10] K**
Here?
**[07:11] Gu**
She arrived from Murmansk right on time.
**[07:14] Gu**
Just what I'd expect, I guess.
**[07:20] Gi**
Wh-What was that?
**[07:22] Gi**
A Witch, right?
**[07:25] ---**
That's...
**[07:29] Gi**
Hikari?
**[07:30] S**
Hikari-san?
**[07:34] Gu**
Now, the 502nd will be what it should.
**[07:38] Gu**
You've done well on your own
this far, Squadron Leader Rall.
**[07:43] R**
Thank you, sir.
**[07:44] Gu**
Dismissed.
**[07:49] R**
Sly old bastard.
**[07:51] R**
So there won't be any punishment for
**[07:54] R**
having Hikari-san stay with the 502nd, it seems.
**[07:57] R**
Instead, I think we'll have a
bit of a mess on our hands.
**[08:04] H**
I knew it!
**[08:06] H**
That's... That's...
**[08:08] H**
My sister!
**[08:10] H**
Sis, I did my best!
**[08:13] H**
I did my best to fly with you!
**[08:28] H**
Sis, you're better!
**[08:31] T**
Hikari.
**[08:33] H**
Sis?
**[08:35] T**
What are you doing here?
**[08:38] H**
You were supposed to be
at the Kauhava base.
**[08:41] H**
What are you doing here?
**[08:43] H**
Um, well...
**[08:45] T**
Hikari, you don't belong here.
**[08:50] H**
Sis...
**[08:53] ---**
Grigori
**[08:55] Gu**
Is it really moving?
**[08:57] Gu**
It's so big, it's hard to tell. But yeah.
**[09:00] Gu**
I hope the operation is in time.
***SIGN*** The Petersburg Forces
A new group of troops that was formed
in order to battle the Neuroi nest, Grigori,
that appeared northeast of Petersburg.
Field Marshal Manstein of the Empire of Karlsland
is the commander, and with the help of Suomus's
Field Marshal Mannerheim, they came up with "Operation Freyja."
They are currently preparing to execute that operation.
**[09:19] T**
Hikari,
**[09:21] T**
you don't belong here.
**[09:24] H**
But I'm a lot stronger than I was in Fusou.
**[09:28] H**
I can even fly with Chidori!
**[09:30] T**
That isn't what I'm saying.
**[09:34] T**
Get your stuff together, and go
to Kauhava at once.
**[09:38] T**
This is an official order.
**[09:41] H**
No way!
**[09:46] H**
Sis...
**[09:50] Gi**
Takami!
**[09:51] Gi**
You're finally here.
**[09:52] Gi**
You made me wait, damn it.
**[09:54] T**
Seems you haven't changed, Kanno-san.
**[09:56] Gi**
I don't change that easily.
**[09:59] Gi**
But your little sister's gotten pretty good.
**[10:04] Gi**
Takami?
**[10:07] Gi**
I am Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi Takami.
**[10:10] Gi**
As of today, I'll be joining the 502nd.
**[10:13] Gi**
I haven't seen you since Libau,
Flight Leader Rall.
**[10:16] R**
Yes, it's been a long time, Takami.
**[10:18] Gi**
She really made it back to the front lines.
**[10:20] Gi**
Isn't that great, Georgette?
**[10:22] S (Background)**
Flight Leader Rall told me all about you.
**[10:22] Gi**
Hey, where is she?
**[10:26] Gi**
There you are, Hikari!
**[10:29] Gi**
What are you doing here?
**[10:31] Gi**
Takami's finally back, after all this time.
**[10:35] Gi**
Hikari?
**[10:51] K**
You're heating this up, Takami-chan.
**[10:56] K**
*Gotcha!*
**[10:57] T**
*Not yet!*
**[11:03] Gi**
Wow...
**[11:04] Gi**
She's on a par with Krupinski-san.
**[11:07] S**
Krupinski-san has more talent,
**[11:10] S**
but she's more in tune with her Unit.
**[11:11] R**
Impressive.
**[11:13] R**
All that time in rehab, and she
hasn't missed a beat.
**[11:15] R**
It's good to have her around, isn't it?
**[11:21] Gi**
What is this? It's great!
**[11:23] T**
It's called "sara-udon." It's soul
food from my hometown.
**[11:27] Gi**
Man...
**[11:28] Gi**
She's pretty, she's strong,
and she can even cook.
**[11:30] Gi**
Takami-san's perfect!
**[11:33] Gi**
Right, Hikari?
**[11:34] Gi**
Hikari?
**[11:35] H**
Huh? Oh, yeah...
**[11:38] H**
Thanks for the food.
**[11:42] Gi**
Hikari?
**[11:55] R**
Seems she can't stay put.
**[11:57] R**
She's probably worried.
**[12:00] Gi**
It's kinda weird...
**[12:03] Gi**
What is?
**[12:04] Gi**
Hikari.
**[12:06] Gi**
It feels like she's avoiding Takami-san.
**[12:09] Gi**
Come to think of it,
**[12:10] Gi**
I heard the two of them got along well.
**[12:13] Gi**
Maybe she's nervous, after having
not seen her for a while?
**[12:16] Gi**
I don't know.
**[12:18] Gi**
I hope so, but the mission's really soon.
**[12:21] S**
About that...
**[12:22] S**
Hikari-san seems to have been issued
a transfer order to Kauhava.
**[12:29] Gi**
Wait!
**[12:30] Gi**
Why is Hikari leaving us?
**[12:32] S**
This was an irregular situation to begin with,
**[12:35] S**
and she was originally assigned to Kauhava base.
**[12:38] Gi**
But isn't this next mission really important?
**[12:42] Gi**
They can't fight together?
**[12:45] S**
It's a direct order from Field Marshal Manstein.
**[12:48] S**
Unfortunately.
**[12:49] Gi**
But...
**[12:51] Gi**
I don't want her to leave.
**[12:55] Gi**
But maybe this is for the best.
**[12:57] Gi**
What? Why?
**[12:59] Gi**
Well, the Contact Eye is really dangerous.
**[13:03] Gi**
Maybe she'd be better off in Kauhava...
**[13:05] Gi**
Huh? Even you, Georgette-san?
**[13:07] K**
What do you think, Nao-chan?
**[13:09] Gi**
Huh? Me? Why?
**[13:11] Gi**
You always said
**[13:13] Gi**
you were going to fight with Takami, right?
**[13:18] Gi**
The one thing I know for sure
is that you want to be
**[13:22] Gi**
on the battlefield with the stronger person.
**[13:29] T**
Hikari.
**[13:34] H**
Sis...
**[13:35] T**
Stop wasting time,
**[13:37] T**
and prepare to report to Kauhava.
**[13:40] H**
I'm not wasting time!
**[13:42] H**
I've worked so hard to get closer to you!
**[13:47] H**
At first, the 502nd refused to accept me.
**[13:51] H**
But I worked and worked! And now
they say I'm one of them!
**[13:55] H**
And I can use the Contact Eye, too!
**[13:59] H**
I used it to beat lots
of Neuroi with Kanno-san!
**[14:03] T**
I know all of that.
**[14:05] T**
But even so,
**[14:06] T**
you cannot stay here.
**[14:08] H**
Sis...
**[14:22] T**
Flight Leader Rall...
**[14:24] R**
Why not just say that you love your sister
**[14:27] R**
and don't want to see her in danger?
**[14:31] R**
Removing your sister from the front lines...
**[14:34] R**
Was that the deal you made
with Field Marshal Manstein?
**[14:37] T**
So you knew.
**[14:39] R**
She's already received an official order.
**[14:41] R**
Why are you putting so much pressure on her?
**[14:45] T**
Because she...
**[14:47] T**
Hikari isn't the type to ever give up.
**[14:50] T**
It's the only way.
**[14:53] T**
What I really...
**[14:55] T**
What I really want to do is give her a big hug
**[14:58] T**
and say I'm proud of how hard she's worked.
**[15:01] T**
But all I can do is hurt her!
**[15:06] R**
Both of you are bad at saying what you feel.
**[15:12] R**
The recon team monitoring
Grigori was just wiped out.
**[15:17] S**
Wiped out?
**[15:18] R**
The report states it was the orb-type Neuroi
**[15:21] R**
that appeared earlier in the Barents Sea.
**[15:25] K**
That's impossible!
**[15:26] K**
We defeated it!
**[15:29] R**
But it's true.
**[15:32] K**
That Unit...
**[15:34] K**
That's mine!
**[15:35] K**
I destroyed its core. So why...
**[15:37] R**
Don't get so worked up.
**[15:40] K**
Flight Leader, you don't mean to...
**[15:42] R**
If you couldn't defeat it, I'll have to go.
**[15:47] R**
Let's go, Takami.
**[15:48] R**
This will be a good warm-up before our mission.
**[15:50] ---**
Yes.
**[15:52] H**
Wait!
**[15:53] Gi**
Hikari?
**[15:54] T**
What are you doing here?
**[15:55] H**
Let me fight, too.
**[15:57] T**
How many times must I say it's impossible?
**[15:59] H**
We won't...
**[16:00] H**
We won't know until we try!
**[16:06] R**
Very well.
**[16:08] T**
Flight Leader Rall?
**[16:09] R**
If your Contact Eye can beat Takami,
**[16:13] R**
I'll do whatever it takes to
keep you in the 502nd.
**[16:17] H**
Really?!
**[16:19] R**
However, if that happens,
Takami will go to Kauhava instead.
**[16:26] R**
Even if you win,
**[16:28] R**
you will not get your wish
of fighting with Takami.
**[16:31] R**
Will you do it, anyway?
**[16:33] H**
I will!
**[16:35] H**
Because I am
**[16:36] H**
a member of the 502nd!
**[16:39] T**
Hikari...
**[16:41] ---**
You...
**[16:42] R**
Excellent.
**[16:44] R**
What will you do, Takami?
**[16:47] T**
Fine!
**[16:48] T**
Let's see who really belongs in the 502nd.
**[16:52] H**
Yeah, let's do it!
**[16:55] S**
Everyone, the Neuroi is heading
toward Murmansk.
**[16:59] R**
We can safely assume
**[17:00] R**
it's after the forces that are
gathering for Operation Freyja.
**[17:05] R**
Takami and Hikari, find the core,
and pass its location to me.
**[17:09] R**
The one who finds it fastest and
most accurately is the winner.
**[17:12] ---**
Roger!
**[17:17] Gi**
Hikari's always wanted to fight
alongside Takami-san.
**[17:20] Gi**
Why is she doing this competition?
**[17:23] Gi**
Takami-san can see the core from
range, and Hikari-san can't.
**[17:27] Gi**
There's no way...
**[17:28] R**
Yes, her chances of winning
are extremely slim.
**[17:32] ---**
Sensei?
**[17:33] R**
But regardless, she bet on that tiny chance,
**[17:37] R**
so she could fight with us
**[17:39] R**
and to show her big sister how she's grown.
**[17:43] Gi**
Hikari...
**[17:45] Gi**
Neuroi, eleven o'clock.
**[17:50] K**
It was true. It's regenerated.
**[17:53] R**
Let's go!
**[18:04] T**
I'll end this fast!
**[18:06] T**
Core spotted. Location H4699 T9326.
**[18:11] R**
Fast.
**[18:15] T**
I did it!
**[18:17] T**
Huh?
**[18:20] T**
The core...
**[18:22] T**
The core regenerated?
**[18:24] ---**
What did you say?
**[18:25] Gi**
Then, how do we defeat it?
**[18:27] T**
No, wait.
**[18:29] T**
Something is moving inside the core!
**[18:31] T**
It's like there's a core inside the core!
**[18:34] R**
So that was the trick?
**[18:36] R**
That's probably its real core.
**[18:38] H**
Its real core?
**[18:40] R**
We have to target that.
**[18:43] Gi**
It split?
**[18:49] T**
I can't focus on my Eye!
**[18:55] T**
Hikari!
**[19:04] H**
I'm not done yet!
**[19:05] Gi**
You can do it, Hikari!
**[19:07] S**
There are too many of them!
**[19:10] Gi**
Karibuchi-san!
**[19:11] Gi**
Hikari-san!
**[19:20] R**
Seems it's time for remedial lessons.
**[19:24] R**
Remember...
**[19:26] R**
What you've gained here!
**[19:28] R**
How you learned to fly!
**[19:30] H**
Rossmann-sensei...
**[19:32] H**
Yes!
**[19:37] H**
Right!
**[19:38] H**
Left!
**[19:38] H**
Right!
**[19:40] H**
Get out of my way!
**[19:41] Gi**
Hikari...
**[19:51] T**
Initial targeting lock.
**[19:55] T**
Go, Hikari!
**[20:00] T**
Adjusting targets.
**[20:05] T**
Final adjustment!
**[20:11] T**
Targeting lock complete!
**[20:13] T**
Grid H1588! T1127!
**[20:17] H**
Here!
**[20:31] H**
Was it me... or Sis?
**[20:43] T**
Hikari!
**[20:58] H**
Sis...
**[21:08] T**
Hikari...
**[21:10] T**
You've gotten so much stronger...
**[21:21] R**
You both located the core accurately,
**[21:25] R**
but Takami was slightly faster.
**[21:28] R**
Thus, as planned, Takami will
remain in the unit.
**[21:32] R**
That is all.
***SIGN*** To Be Continued
**[23:26] ---**
This is how it should be, Hikari.
**[23:28] ---**
I'll fight for you, as well.
**[23:31] ---**
To protect you and everyone
else... That's my wish.

**[00:08] H**
Chidori, this is goodbye, huh?
**[00:12] Gi**
Yesterday, that was a close thing.
**[00:15] H**
Kanno-san!
**[00:17] GI**
For a minute, I thought you might win.
**[00:21] H**
Were you cheering for me?
**[00:24] Gi**
Of course not.
**[00:25] Gi**
Yesterday, you just had a lucky day.
**[00:28] Gi**
To begin with, you're no match for Takami.
**[00:32] H**
Yeah.
**[00:36] Gi**
What?
**[00:37] Gi**
Doesn't it bother you?
**[00:39] Gi**
You really wanted to be strong.
**[00:42] H**
It bothers me, but I did what I could,
**[00:45] H**
so I feel satisfied.
**[00:46] H**
My sister really is amazing!
**[00:49] Gi**
Hikari...
**[00:52] H**
Chidori, thanks for everything.
**[00:56] H**
Do your best with my sis.
**[00:58] Gi**
Hey!
**[01:02] H**
These gloves...
**[01:04] Gi**
You wanted them, right?
**[01:06] Gi**
A farewell gift.

**[02:43] Gi**
Are you really going to Suomus, Hikari?
**[02:47] H**
Yeah.
**[02:48] Gi**
Don't break your Unit when you get there.
**[02:51] H**
Yeah.
**[02:52] H**
I'll be sure that they don't make me kneel.
**[02:55] Gi**
I made you rice balls.
**[02:57] Gi**
And something to drink.
**[02:58] H**
Shimohara-san...
**[03:00] H**
Georgette-san.
**[03:01] H**
Thanks for everything!
**[03:03] R**
Hikari-san...
**[03:04] R**
Everything you did here didn't go to waste.
**[03:08] H**
Sensei...
**[03:09] R**
You were moving pretty well yesterday.
**[03:13] H**
Thank you very much, Rossmann-sensei!
**[03:18] K**
Hikari-chan...
**[03:20] K**
It's best that you have this.
**[03:24] H**
Th-That good luck charm!
**[03:26] H**
I heard about it from Nipa-san.
**[03:28] ---**
This is actually a weapon, isn't it?
**[03:30] K**
You found out?
**[03:32] K**
It'll feel more like a good luck charm
if it has at least one bullet.
**[03:37] H**
Thanks, Krupinski-san.
**[03:44] H**
Everyone, stay safe!
**[03:48] Gi**
Hikari!
**[03:52] Gi**
Hikari!
**[03:54] H**
Nipa-san...
**[04:02] Gi**
Hey.
**[04:03] Gi**
The strategy meeting is starting.
**[04:05] Gi**
Why aren't you chasing after her?
**[04:08] Gi**
Will chasing after her change anything?
**[04:10] Gi**
She's one of us, right?
**[04:12] Gi**
Wasn't she your partner?!
**[04:16] Gi**
My partner is Takami.
**[04:21] Gu**
Aren't you cold?
**[04:22] Gi**
N-No, I'm just fine.
**[04:25] Gu**
I'm honored to be able to carry
a Witch of the 502nd.
**[04:30] Gi**
But I'm not in the 502nd anymore.
**[04:39] R**
Hikari left.
**[04:40] T**
How was she doing?
**[04:42] R**
If you were concerned, why didn't
you see her off?
**[04:49] T**
It's covered with scratches...
**[04:51] R**
Those scratches prove that Hikari was here.
**[04:54] T**
I can't believe she was able to fight
on the front lines like this.
**[04:59] T**
She worked really hard, didn't she?
**[05:02] R**
Yeah, she really did.
**[05:05] R**
But what I want is a strong Witch
who can complete the mission.
**[05:10] R**
That's all.
**[05:12] T**
I shall fulfill that role. I promise!
**[05:17] Gu**
As you know, Grigori is moving
southwest at 5km per hour.
**[05:22] Gu**
Its target is Petersburg and the 502nd base.
**[05:28] Gu**
We're changing our normal strategy
of responding to enemy attacks,
**[05:31] Gu**
and launching our own major counterattack.
**[05:34] Gu**
That is Operation Freyja.
**[05:38] Gu**
The northern armies have succeeded
in scouting inside of Grigori.
**[05:42] Gu**
At the center of the cloud
lies a massive main body.
**[05:46] Gu**
That is where the Neuroi are coming from.
**[05:49] Gi**
A Neuroi factory, huh?
**[05:52] Gu**
Our ultimate goal is destruction
of that main body.
**[05:56] Gu**
And this is our trump card.
**[06:00] Gu**
The ultra-large railway cannons
Gustav and Dora.
**[06:04] Gi**
Those?
**[06:05] Gi**
They're huge.
**[06:06] Gu**
Karlsland Engineering Labs has developed
**[06:09] Gu**
an 800mm-caliber artillery piece,
the largest in the world.
**[06:14] Gi**
800mm?
**[06:16] Gi**
I didn't know you could make
something so big.
**[06:18] Gu**
Gustav will fire first,
**[06:23] Gu**
launching a newly developed HE round.
**[06:27] Gu**
We'll use this to destroy the
cloud that hides the nest.
**[06:32] Gu**
Dora will then destroy the exposed main body.
**[06:36] Gu**
Dora has been loaded with an
anti-Neuroi magic AP round.
**[06:40] Gi**
Magic AP round?
**[06:42] Gu**
This magic AP round contains the magical power
of several hundred ground Witches.
**[06:48] Gu**
We'll pound it right into the
enemy core and end this.
**[06:53] Gu**
But to accurately strike Grigori, which is
several hundred meters off the ground,
**[06:58] Gu**
we must get within a minimum
of several dozen kilometers.
**[07:01] K**
That's inside the enemy attack area?
**[07:06] Gu**
502nd Joint Fighter Wing,
**[07:08] Gu**
your mission is to escort the railway
cannons inside the firing area.
**[07:15] Gu**
And then, Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi
will ID the core's location!
**[07:23] Gu**
You'll take the train from here.
**[07:23] ---**
Suomus Station, Petersburg
**[07:26] Gu**
I'll be on my way.
**[07:27] H**
Yes, thank you very much!
**[07:33] H**
Let's see...
**[07:38] H**
Someone's supposed to come from Suomus.
**[07:41] Gi**
Hey!
**[07:45] H**
Eila-san! Sanya-san!
**[07:47] H**
You came to meet me?
**[07:56] R**
Listen up.
**[07:58] R**
Don't think about leaving
until Grigori is down.
**[08:01] R**
502nd Joint Fighter Wing, head out!
**[08:04] All**
Roger!
**[08:15] T**
Hikari...
**[08:23] Gi**
Nipa-san said she wanted us to meet you.
**[08:27] H**
Nipa-san said that?
**[08:29] Gi**
She was so worried about you!
**[08:35] Gi**
Sanya?
**[08:37] Gi**
The sky...
**[08:44] Gi**
The 502nd took off?
**[08:47] H**
Yes!
**[08:48] H**
That's the flight leader!
**[08:49] H**
That's Sasha-san!
**[08:51] H**
And Rossmann-sensei,
**[08:53] H**
Shimohara-san, and Georgette-san!
**[08:55] E**
I'm amazed you can see them...
**[08:57] H**
To the left is Krupinski-san,
**[08:59] H**
Nipa-san, and Kanno-san!
**[09:01] H**
And...
**[09:03] E**
Your sister?
**[09:05] H**
Yes.
**[09:06] H**
You can do it, Sis!
**[09:09] Gi**
Don't get so down.
**[09:11] Gi**
Look!
**[09:14] Gi**
When you're feeling down,
**[09:15] Gi**
you can have yummy sweets
to cheer you right up!
**[09:21] H**
Chocolate!
**[09:23] H**
Thanks!
**[09:24] E**
It isn't chocolate.
**[09:26] E**
It's salmiakki.
**[09:27] E**
S-So much!
**[09:30] H**
It's good...
**[09:36] Gi**
H-Hey, Hikari!
**[09:38] Gi**
Hikari-san!
**[09:44] Gi**
Takami.
**[09:48] Gi**
You beat Hikari to become my partner.
**[09:51] Gi**
We have to win.
**[09:54] Gi**
We have to!
**[09:56] T**
Right!
**[09:57] T**
Of course, Kanno-san!
**[10:09] R**
Gustav and Dora sighted.
**[10:12] R**
They're what we're protecting?
**[10:15] R**
Ten o'clock.
**[10:16] R**
Grigori sighted.
**[10:20] Gi**
It's here?
**[10:22] Gi**
That's Grigori?
**[10:24] Gi**
I'll send you crashing
to the bottom of the sky!
***SIGN*** Ultra-large Railway Cannon
Giant artillery pieces that the Engineering Labs
of the Empire of Karlsland created.
They are giant weapons measuring 47 meters long,
weighing 1,300 tons, with a 800mm-caliber barrel
and run along a rail.
Currently, two of these weapons, Dora and Gustav,
are at Murmansk Base and are a part of Operation Freyja.
**[10:55] Gi**
That's a huge force...

**[11:44] Gi**
Right.

Gustav and Dora will enter enemy
combat range in thirty seconds!
**[11:54] H**
That surprised me...
**[11:55] Gi**
Are you okay?
**[11:56] Gi**
Good stuff, right?
**[11:58] Gi**
Looks like it's started.
**[12:00] Gi**
You can't see it from here.
**[12:04] Gi**
I wish we could go, too...
**[12:06] Gi**
The Suomus force is backup, isn't it?
**[12:09] H**

**[12:12] Gi**
Ta-dah!
**[12:13] H**

**[12:15] Gi**
Just wait...
**[12:19] Gu**
Air Wing 8 has engaged ten small-sized
Neuroi in Zone B05!
**[12:27] S**
We're inside enemy attack range.
**[12:29] R**
They're coming!

No matter what, protect the railway cannons
until they reach the firing area!

How are there so many beams?
**[12:47] R**
It just means the enemy's serious.

Your quota is one every five seconds!
**[12:54] K**
No need to tell me!
**[13:17] Gi**
Those two are amazing!
**[13:18] Gi**
They're in perfect harmony!

firing range in one minute.

Stay away from us!

The impact's incredible.

The super HE device activated successfully.
**[14:56] Gu**
The clouds around Grigori have dissipated.
**[14:59] Gu**
It worked!
**[15:01] Gu**
So far.
**[15:04] H**
Huh?
**[15:05] Gi**
It was just getting good...
**[15:08] S**
There's so much jamming.
**[15:13] T**
That's the enemy's main body?

The barrel's melted, and we can't fire!
**[16:45] Gu**
What? We can't fire?
**[16:51] Gu**
Then use Gustav!
**[16:52] Gu**
Prepare the spare round!

Roger.
**[17:00] Gu**
Grigori has initiated movement
toward Petersburg!
**[17:04] Gu**
What?
**[17:05] Gu**
How long until we can fire?

We need twenty minutes to
finish deploying the spells.

That's too long!

If it leaves firing range, we're finished!
**[17:14] Gi**
What's going on?
**[17:16] H**
Sis...
**[17:19] R**
The attacks have stopped.
**[17:21] K**
So it isn't interested in us now, huh?
**[17:23] Gi**
If we wait twenty minutes,
it'll move out of firing range...
**[17:27] Gi**
Our weapons can't touch it!
**[17:29] Gi**
What do we do?!
**[17:32] Gi**
Takami?
**[17:41] R**
That's...
**[17:42] R**
The magic AP round?
**[17:44] R**
She can't mean to...
**[17:51] R**
She's going to carry it!
**[17:53] R**
And slam it straight into the enemy?
**[17:55] S**
That thing weighs close to a ton...
**[17:59] Gi**
I-It's impossible!
**[18:00] T**
This is what Hikari would do...
**[18:03] T**
So I can't give up!
**[18:06] T**
Ever!
**[18:07] Gi**
Dummy...
**[18:10] Gi**
You can't do it alone.
**[18:12] Gi**
That's right.
**[18:13] T**
Kanno-san! Nipa-san!
**[18:16] T**
Georgette-san!
**[18:20] T**
Everyone!
**[18:21] K**
I'm better on offense than defense.
**[18:24] S**
This is more likely to succeed.
**[18:26] S**
You're just like your little sister.
**[18:28] Gi**
They're both dummies, huh?
**[18:33] R**
I don't mind idiots...
**[18:36] Gu**
The 502nd plans to directly strike
the enemy with the AP round.
**[18:40] Gu**
It will take more time to fire Gustav!
**[18:43] Gu**
They're our only hope now!
**[18:46] Gu**
Ready...
**[18:54] Gu**
It came up! Yes!
**[18:56] Gu**
Let's go!
**[19:01] K**
Never thought I'd go into battle
hauling something like this...
**[19:05] Gi**
They haven't seen us yet!
**[19:08] Gi**
They think this'll be easy.
**[19:10] Gi**
Let's show them they're wrong!
**[19:12] S**
We're 600 meters above the enemy.
**[19:14] S**
We've arrived at the location.
**[19:16] T**
Core location remains the same!
**[19:17] T**
Target lock!
**[19:19] R**
Drop!
**[19:24] T**
Let go!
**[19:29] Gi**
What are you doing, Takami?
**[19:31] T**
I'll make sure it hits!
**[19:35] R**
Did they find us?
**[19:40] Gi**
Let's go, Takami!
**[19:41] T**
Kanno-san!
**[19:42] T**
Right.
**[19:45] T**
Go!
**[19:59] Gi**
We did it, Takami!
**[20:00] T**
Yes!
**[20:06] Gu**
Grigori is still functional!
**[20:07] Gu**
It's regenerating!
**[20:09] Gu**
Grigori's regenerating?
**[20:10] Gu**
Why?
**[20:12] Gu**
Didn't we destroy the core?
**[20:16] T**
That's...
**[20:17] T**
I c-can see a core inside the core!
**[20:19] R**
What?
**[20:20] R**
It has a true core inside its core, too?
**[20:24] Gu**
Unless we strike the true core
directly, we can't defeat it?
**[20:27] Gu**
Gustav is ready to fire!
**[20:29] Gu**
This is our last attack.
**[20:31] Gu**
We won't get another!
**[20:32] Gu**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi,
can you see the true core?
**[20:36] T**
I can! Grid H66—
**[20:40] R**
What's wrong, Takami?
**[20:45] T**
I-It disappeared!
**[20:47] T**
I can't detect it!
**[20:48] T**
I can't see the true core!
**[20:50] R**
What?
**[20:51] T**
The core is blocking my Absolute Eye!
**[20:58] Gu**
What do you mean, Sub-lieutenant?
**[21:00] Gi**
There it is!
**[21:00] Gu**
You can't locate the true core?
**[21:03] Gi**
The true core?
**[21:05] Gi**
What's that? What's going on?
**[21:07] H**
Sis is going to use that...
**[21:11] Gi**
Use what?
**[21:16] Gi**
Hey, Hikari!
**[21:18] H**
I have to stop her!
**[21:23] H**
Where's my Unit?
**[21:25] Gi**
I told you, the cargo train is different...
**[21:28] H**
I'm going!
**[21:30] Gi**
Going how?
**[21:33] Gi**
And without a Unit, even if you go—
**[21:35] Gi**
We won't know until we try!
***SIGN*** To Be Continued
**[23:26] Gi**
Take flight. And fly to where you go.
**[23:28] Gi**
Believe and jump, as high as you can!
**[23:31] Gi**
All the way to the sky, from your
promise on that day.

**[00:02] R**
Drop!
**[00:04] T**
Let go!
**[00:15] Gu**
Grigori is still functional! It's regenerating!
**[00:18] Gu**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi,
can you see the true core?
**[00:21] T**
I can't detect it!
**[00:22] T**
I can't see the true core!
**[00:24] R**
What?
**[00:25] T**
The core is blocking my Absolute Eye!
**[00:30] H**
I have to stop my sister!
***SIGN*** Episode 12
"Shining with Light..."
**[02:35] Gu**
Defensive line 6 has been breached.
**[02:37] Gu**
The enemy has changed course,
heading for Gustav!
**[02:41] Gu**
It's realized what we're after?
**[02:45] Gu**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi!
**[02:46] Gu**
What do you mean, you can't
see the true core?
**[02:48] T**
The outer core is acting as a
shield, blocking my Eye.
**[02:53] Gu**
What?
**[02:54] Gi**
Can't we use the old position?
**[02:57] T**
The true core is moving...
**[02:59] T**
It isn't where it was.
**[03:01] Gi**
Then, we don't know how to attack it?
**[03:06] T**
*I'll...*
**[03:07] T**
*I'll have to use that technique.*
**[03:10] H**
*My sister will try to use the Absolute Eye!*
**[03:13] R**
It's a powerful technique, which lets
you see multiple Neuroi cores,
**[03:18] R**
or special-type cores, in an instant.
**[03:20] R**
But it heavily stresses mind and body,
**[03:23] R**
and it badly weakens your shields.
**[03:27] R**
So using it without support is suicide.
**[03:31] H**
I have to stop her!
**[03:41] H**
Sis!
**[03:45] Gu**
There's no time, Marshal Manstein.
**[03:53] Gu**
What is that?
**[04:00] Gu**
A Witch is running along the water!
**[04:06] S**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi is
approaching the Neuroi.
**[04:09] R**
Wait, Takami!
**[04:10] Gi**
No! Takami!
**[04:14] Gi**
Takami!
**[04:15] R**
Don't do anything hasty, Takami!
**[04:17] T**
There's no other way, Flight Leader!
**[04:20] R**
You idiot!
**[04:25] T**
Activating Absolute Eye!
**[04:31] H**
Red light...
**[04:33] H**
No! Sis!
**[04:41] T**
Locating core.
**[04:42] T**
The true core...
**[04:44] T**
Where is it?
**[04:51] T**
My shield isn't going to last!
**[05:02] T**
Everyone...
**[05:05] Gi**
I knew you'd do that.
**[05:07] Gi**
Rossmann-sensei briefed us
on the Absolute Eye.
**[05:12] S**
She said you'd use it, for sure.
**[05:14] R**
After all, you're Hikari-san's big sister.
**[05:17] Gi**
You can't just go off alone. It isn't fair.
**[05:19] Gi**
Let's all do this together.
**[05:21] R**
I told you not to do anything hasty.
**[05:24] T**
Everyone...
**[05:26] T**
Thank you.
**[05:29] T**
*Absolute Eye!*
**[05:39] T**
Final adjustments.
**[05:43] T**
Targeting lock complete!
**[05:45] T**
True core... Grid H58954!
**[05:54] R**
No!
**[05:55] T**
T87449...
**[05:59] Gu**
T87449. Roger.
**[06:02] Gi**
Takami!
**[06:06] Gi**
*Hikari...*
**[06:18] Gi**
It's so warm.
**[06:23] Gi**
Takami!
**[06:36] Gu**
Grid coordinates input to Gustav.
**[06:39] Gu**
Targeting complete.
**[06:40] Gu**
Fire!
**[06:46] K**
They've fired it.
**[06:51] R**
We've done all we can.
**[07:06] Gu**
Countdown to impact. Ten. Nine. Eight.
**[07:10] Gu**
The clouds around the Neuroi are returning!
**[07:13] Gu**
What?
**[07:19] Gi**
The clouds stopped that AP round!
**[07:22] R**
Are the clouds acting as a barrier?
**[07:28] Gi**
The AP round!
**[07:34] Gi**
No...
**[07:36] K**
That isn't fair.
**[07:38] Gi**
Damn it!
**[07:39] Gi**
Damn it!
**[07:41] R**
We failed.
**[07:52] Gu**
All AP rounds, including spares,
have been destroyed.
**[07:56] Gu**
We're out of options, huh?
**[08:00] Gu**
Tell all forces to retreat.
**[08:10] H**
Sis!
**[08:13] Gi**
Hikari!
**[08:16] K**
Hikari-chan?
**[08:17] R**
Hikari-san?
**[08:18] R**
Hikari!
**[08:18] Gi**
Hikari-san?
**[08:19] Gi**
Hikari-san...
**[08:21] Gi**
Karibuchi-san...
**[08:22] Gi**
You're back?
**[08:23] H**
Sis!
**[08:24] H**
Hang in there, Sis!
**[08:26] H**
Don't die!
**[08:28] K**
It's all right, Hikari-chan.
**[08:30] H**
Huh? But she used the Absolute Eye...
**[08:33] R**
While she was vulnerable, we all
protected her with our shields.
**[08:37] R**
And Georgette's healing magic took
care of her physical damage.
**[08:41] Gi**
Her pulse and temperature
are in normal ranges.
**[08:44] Gi**
Don't worry.
**[08:45] R**
But we couldn't block all the attacks,
**[08:48] R**
and she was injured.
**[08:51] R**
I'm sorry.
**[08:53] H**
You all saved her, didn't you?
**[08:57] H**
Thank you!
**[09:01] T**
Hikari...
**[09:02] H**
Sis!
**[09:04] T**
I'm sorry, Hikari.
**[09:06] T**
I couldn't beat the enemy.
**[09:07] H**
No...
**[09:08] H**
Why are you apologizing?
**[09:10] S**
It isn't your fault.
**[09:12] Gi**
That's right...
**[09:13] Gi**
You did all you could.
**[09:14] Gi**
Damn it!
**[09:15] Gi**
Takami risked her life to find that core!
**[09:18] Gi**
Can't we do anything else?
**[09:21] K**
Look!
**[09:36] Gi**
We have to sit here and watch
as Petersburg falls?
**[09:45] H**
You don't know where the true core is, do you?
**[09:49] H**
Let me use my Contact Eye.
**[09:52] H**
I'll fight, too!
**[09:54] T**
Hikari?
**[09:56] K**
I understand how you feel, but...
**[09:58] S**
Without the trains or the AP rounds...
**[10:02] Gi**
Me, too!
**[10:03] Gi**
I want to fight, too!
**[10:05] Gi**
I'm still in top shape!
**[10:07] Gi**
I also have magical power left.
**[10:09] Gi**
Till there's nothing left, I don't want to give up.
**[10:13] Gi**
If I don't have any shells, I have my fists.
**[10:16] Gi**
I'll punch it!
**[10:18] Gi**
That's impossible.
**[10:19] Gi**
Grigori is a Neuroi nest.
**[10:23] R**
Flight Leader?
**[10:24] R**
My old wounds feel strangely warm...
**[10:28] R**
I sense something over there.
**[10:34] R**
This is it.
**[10:36] R**
The AP round's shattered core, huh?
**[10:39] R**
It still has magic power left inside.
**[10:43] Gu**
Members of the 502nd, you did well.
**[10:47] Gu**
But we no longer have any way to fight.
**[10:52] Gu**
Retreat.
**[10:54] H**
Retreat?
**[10:55] R**
Wait, Marshal.
**[10:57] R**
We have a plan.
**[10:59] Gu**
What?
**[11:01] R**
Kanno.
**[11:03] R**
You're getting your wish.
**[11:06] R**
Go punch it.
***SIGN*** 502nd Joint Fighter Wing
After "Operation Barbarossa" was completed with the forces
of the Empire of Karlsland at its center,
this joint fighter wing was formed and centered in Petersburg
to follow the 501st for future counterattack measures.
With Flight Wing Commander Gundula Rall as their squadron leader,
they are very strong as an offensive squad, but their waste
and attrition rate of ammunition is also very high.
Currently, they have nine members including
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi Takami from Fusou, but...
**[11:13] H**
Punch it?
**[11:14] K**
Grigori?
**[11:15] Gi**
How?
**[11:17] S**
Flight Leader...
**[11:18] R**
Are you serious?
**[11:19] Gi**
Now, I'm getting excited!
**[11:29] R**
There isn't time.
**[11:30] R**
Let's do this!
**[11:32] Gu**
I see.
**[11:33] Gu**
Understood.
**[11:35] Gu**
Is that even possible?
**[11:37] Gu**
They're our only hope now.
**[11:41] S**
The impact did this to it, but there's
still magical power inside.
**[11:46] GI**
With it in pieces like this, what can we do?
**[11:49] R**
We move it to Kanno's hand.
**[11:51] Gi**
Huh?
**[11:52] S**
More specifically, we transfer the
magic power to Kanno-san's glove.
**[11:57] Gi**
My gloves?
**[11:58] Gi**
Oh!
**[11:59] Gi**
No...
**[12:04] H**
Here, Kanno-san!
**[12:07] Gi**
Ready for anything, huh?
**[12:09] Gi**
I'm borrowing these, Hikari.
**[12:24] H**
Wow!
**[12:25] R**
Her right hand has become the AP round itself.
**[12:29] R**
Hey! I found it!
**[12:34] R**
The core of the super HE round.
**[12:36] R**
It was shattered, too.
**[12:39] K**
This is all we can use.
**[12:41] R**
Perfect.
**[12:45] K**
Nao-chan's amazing, huh?
**[12:47] K**
She's really going to punch it.
**[12:49] R**
Listen. You only get one strike.
**[12:52] Gi**
One strike is all I need.
**[12:54] Gi**
Right, Hikari?
**[12:55] H**
Huh?
**[12:56] Gi**
Don't "Huh?" me.
**[12:58] Gi**
You're my partner, right?
**[13:01] H**
Kanno-san!
**[13:02] Gi**
For starters, I can't punch the true
core without your Contact Eye.
**[13:11] H**
Right!
**[13:17] H**
Sis...
**[13:19] T**
You cannot afford to fail.
**[13:21] T**
Can you do it?
**[13:23] H**
Well...
**[13:25] H**
But...
**[13:27] H**
We won't know until we try!
**[13:37] Gi**
I thought you'd say that.
**[13:44] T**
Hikari, use Chidori.
**[13:47] T**
Okay!
**[13:54] R**
All right, let's go punch this thing!
**[13:57] T**
Roger!
**[14:03] T**
It's true.
**[14:05] T**
You won't know if you can
do something or not until you try
**[14:09] T**
But maybe I was afraid of something
so obvious when it came to Hikari.
**[14:16] Gi**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi...
**[14:18] T**
Now, our only choice is to believe in her.
**[14:21] T**
*You can do it, Hikari.*
**[14:28] R**
During the last battle, Takami was
the first to find the true core.
**[14:34] R**
But it was Hikari whose location
was the more precise.
**[14:40] R**
If we only have one chance, I'll bet
all my chips on Hikari.
**[14:45] R**
Only an idiot would gamble on this, though.
**[14:50] K**
I like that.
**[14:51] K**
I'm in.
**[14:53] R**
Hikari-san, you weren't a very good student.
**[14:57] R**
But you worked harder than anyone else.
**[15:00] R**
Show me the result of all your efforts.
**[15:04] H**
Right, Rossmann-sensei.
**[15:09] S**
Analyzing my memories of the
way the clouds formed,
**[15:13] S**
I've confirmed that grid H2223
T3358 is the weak point.
**[15:19] R**
Roger.
**[15:20] Gi**
12,000 meters to Grigori.
**[15:23] R**
At its current speed, it will swallow
Petersburg in fifteen minutes.
**[15:28] R**
We'll finish this in five.
**[15:30] R**
Go!
**[15:30] All**
Roger!
**[15:44] Gu**
We're counting on you, Brave Witches.
**[15:57] ---**
There it is!
**[16:05] R**
Now...
**[16:07] S**
Arrow formation.
**[16:16] K**
Don't get in my way!
**[16:21] H**
Let's go, Chidori.
**[16:35] S**
Break!
**[16:40] S**
Hang on until we get Kanno-san and
Hikari-san to the main body, no matter what!
**[16:45] Gi**
My Unit is going to scream!
**[16:46] K**
Promise not to get mad if I break it?
**[16:51] S**
As long as those two get there!
**[16:53] Gi**
The enemy attacks are thinning
to the upper left.
**[16:56] K**
*Magic Boost!*
**[17:07] K**
Almost there!
**[17:08] Gi**
Go!
**[17:26] H**
Over there!
**[17:35] Gi**
Not bad.
**[17:37] Gi**
Never thought the day would
come where I'd be following her.
**[17:48] H**
Here!
**[17:52] Gi**
*Tsurugi Issen!*
**[17:59] Gi**
Break!
**[18:11] H**
Almost there!
**[18:12] H**
One more punch, Kanno-san!
**[18:18] Gi**
I've got nothing left.
**[18:20] H**
Kanno-san!
**[18:30] H**
* Concentrate your power*
* into your right hand...*
**[18:34] H**
And shoot!
**[19:08] T**
Hikari...
**[19:22] T**
Hikari!
**[19:25] Gi**
Hup!
**[19:26] T**
Hikari!
**[19:29] H**
Ow...
**[19:31] H**
Sis!
**[19:32] T**
You did it, Hikari!
**[19:34] T**
You really did get stronger...
**[19:36] T**
You're amazing.
**[19:37] T**
You're really amazing!
**[19:39] ---**
You did a great job.
**[19:40] H**
No, it wasn't me.
**[19:43] H**
It was thanks to everyone.
**[19:48] Gi**
Kanno!
**[19:52] Gi**
I'm so glad...
**[19:54] Gi**
Are you hurt?
**[19:58] Gi**
That hurt more than anything else.
**[20:01] Gi**
G-Georgette!
**[20:02] Gi**
I'm out of magical power.
**[20:05] K**
Whew, it's done!
**[20:11] R**
Good work.
**[20:12] R**
You, too.
**[20:16] Gi**
Look!
**[20:17] S**
The clouds are disappearing.
**[20:18] Gu**
We did it, Marshal.
**[20:20] Gu**
Yes, thanks to them.
**[20:25] Gu**
The 502nd Joint Fighter Wing,
the Brave Witches.
**[20:31] Gu**
Blessings be upon the Witches
of the battlefield.
**[20:38] T**
It's pretty, huh?
**[20:39] H**
Yeah.
**[20:40] S**
Even here, spring is about to come.
**[20:43] Gi**
A peaceful spring, huh?
**[20:47] Gi**
Hungry?
**[20:49] Gi**
Yeah, my stomach feels empty
enough to stick to my back.
**[20:52] H**
Mine, too!
**[20:56] Gi**
Oh, no!
**[20:57] S**
Nipa-san, did you break it again?
**[21:02] S**
Wait... No.
**[21:05] K**
After that battle, none of the
Units are in good shape.
**[21:09] H**
Then, we all kneel, don't we?
**[21:13] R**
Jeez...
**[21:14] R**
We're going home, Break Witches.
**[21:16] All**
Roger!

*March, 1945.*
**[21:31] Narr**
* The complete destruction of the Orussian*
* Neuroi nest, Grigori, is confirmed.*
**[21:37] Narr**
*And the 502nd Joint Fight Wing...*
**[21:51] H**
It's warm today, huh?
**[21:53] T**
Is it?
**[21:54] H**
Yeah, the water in the cup didn't freeze.
**[21:59] T**
You used to hate the cold, Hikari.
**[22:03] H**
I'm used to it now.
**[22:08] Gu**
Sub-lieutenant Karibuchi,
we're about to head out.
**[22:11] T**
Right.
**[22:12] Gu**
What will you do, Sergeant?
**[22:14] H**
Huh?
**[22:18] H**
I...
**[22:24] Gi**
The Brave Witches, huh?
**[22:26] Gi**
With Grigori's defeat, they're being deployed
to the next battle, without a break.
**[22:31] H**
Yes.
**[22:32] H**
So they need all the Witches they can get!
**[22:37] H**
Sis...
**[22:40] T**
Get going.
**[22:42] H**
Right.
**[22:49] Gu**
She's giving herself a trial to overcome?
**[22:53] T**
She's found it.
**[22:54] T**
Hikari's found the place where
she can shine the brightest.
**[22:59] Narr**
*March, 1945.*
**[23:02] Narr**
* Sergeant Karibuchi Hikari becomes*
* an official member of the 502nd,*
**[23:09] Narr**
*and flies off to a new battlefield.*
