[00:03] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[00:05] ---
    Kei!
[00:06] ---
    Minghua...
[00:07] ---
    Did they hurt you?
[00:08] ---
    Are you okay?
[00:09] ---
    I heard they were going to interrogate you,
     and I got so worried.
[00:14] ---
    I'm fine. Nothing happened.
[00:16] ---
    I know it was a misunderstanding,
    but I'm still sorry we got rough with you.
[00:21] ---
    N-No, I'm sorry for making such a fuss.
[00:27] ---
    See you tomorrow, then.
[00:28] ---
    We'll be waiting.
[00:30] ---
    Right.
SIGN    Komatsu Air Force Base
[00:42] ---
    I'm sorry.
[00:45] ---
    For all that stuff I said.
[00:47] ---
    I was only thinking about myself.
[00:50] ---
    I wasn't thinking about
    how you felt, Minghua.
[00:54] ---
    No, I'm sorry.
[00:57] ---
    I think I went too far.
[00:59] ---
    Anyway, what was that about?
[01:01] ---
    When he said, "See you tomorrow."
[01:03] ---
    I'm going to be working part-time
    at the base starting tomorrow.
[01:07] ---
    Working?
[02:43] (Flashback) ---
    It's late.
[02:45] (Flashback) ---
    Let's talk more tomorrow.
[02:47] (Flashback) ---
    You'll be rewarded for your cooperation.
SIGN    Air Force Academy Handbook
[02:52] (Flashback) ---
    Come back tomorrow. Tell your friend
    you're working here part-time.
[02:56] ---
    Help her fly...
SIGN    Komatsu Rendezvous
[02:58] ---
    I don't know what that means,
[03:01] ---
    but if I can help defeat the Xi,
    I'll do whatever he wants me to.
[03:13] ---
    A teenager in civilian clothes
    stands out pretty bad here.
[03:18] ---
    But the inside of this base is pretty nice.
[03:21] ---
    It's like a university campus.
[03:24] ---
    Hello.
[03:27] ---
    I came to get you.
[03:29] ---
    Where's Y-Yashirodoori?
[03:31] ---
    Not here.
[03:33] ---
    Out.
[03:35] ---
    So I'll work with you today.
[03:37] ---
    Let's go.
[03:38] ---
    W-Wait!
[03:48] ---
    You're the one who shot down the Xi
    off the coast of Shanghai, right?
[03:55] ---
    Do you remember me?
[03:57] ---
    Um... when you crashed...
[04:04] ---
    No.
[04:06] ---
    I was so focused on what I was doing then
[04:09] ---
    that I don't remember when I
    crashed or when I was recovered.
[04:13] ---
    Sorry.
[04:14] ---
    I s-see.
[04:16] ---
    I'm told you saved me.
[04:19] ---
    Thanks.
[04:23] ---
    Tea and food. I'll go get them.
[04:25] ---
    Food?
[04:27] ---
    I haven't eaten breakfast yet.
[04:28] ---
    The tea is for you.
[04:31] ---
    A secret weapon that eats?
[04:34] ---
    I'm back.
[04:37] ---
    Where's my tea?
[04:40] ---
    I'm back.
[04:41] ---
    Don't you need a spoon and some chopsticks?
[04:45] ---
    I'm back.
[04:50] ---
    Listen, are you...
[04:54] ---
    A scatterbrain?
[04:56] ---
    I am not!
[04:57] ---
    You are very wrong!
[04:59] ---
    You don't seem like a weapon at all.
[05:01] ---
    You keep forgetting stuff,
    you talk kind of funny...
[05:05] ---
    It's kind of like...
[05:06] ---
    One more word and I'll get mad.
[05:20] ---
    I'm a little nervous.
[05:23] ---
    I've never talked to anyone from outside.
[05:26] ---
    Is that right?
[05:27] ---
    So I'm just a little nervous.
[05:34] ---
    Narutani Kei.
[05:36] ---
    That's my name.
[05:37] ---
    We haven't introduced ourselves yet, right?
[05:40] ---
    Kei?
[05:42] ---
    So your name's Kei...
[05:45] ---
    What should I call you?
[05:48] ---
    Gripen.
[05:49] ---
    That's the name of an aircraft, right?
[05:52] ---
    JAS39 Gripen.
[05:54] ---
    That's who I am. Nothing else.
[05:57] ---
    Just as humans make no distinction between
    their brain and the rest of their body,
[06:01] ---
    an Anima and a Daughter are
    identical and inseparable.
[06:04] ---
    I'm just a weapon.
[06:07] ---
    So call me Gripen.
[06:09] ---
    Got it. Gripen, right?
[06:12] ---
    So, Gripen, what do we do after this?
[06:16] ---
    What's next on the schedule after breakfast?
[06:20] ---
    You don't have a plan?
[06:22] ---
    What do you want to do, Kei?
[06:24] ---
    I'm not sure how to answer that.
[06:26] ---
    Um... What is it that you usually do?
[06:30] ---
    Here at the base.
[06:32] ---
    Walk.
[06:34] ---
    I wander around.
[06:36] ---
    Also, go on adventures here and there.
[06:38] ---
    You're a free-spirited weapon, huh?
[06:40] ---
    Also, nap.
[06:42] ---
    Are you really that plane I saw?
[06:58] ---
    What's with these people?
[07:01] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[07:03] ---
    That's H3.
[07:04] ---
    H3?
[07:06] ---
    Hangar 3.
[07:08] ---
    The place you were held when
    you were abducted yesterday.
[07:11] ---
    Next to it is H2.
[07:13] ---
    Next to that, H1.
[07:15] ---
    There are also smaller hangars:
    H4, H5, and H6.
[07:18] ---
    This place is pretty big.
[07:20] ---
    This is the only base near the
    Sea of Japan that has any fighter jets.
[07:25] ---
    If the continental coast falls to the Xi,
[07:27] ---
    Komatsu will be a front line base.
[07:30] ---
    Taiwan and the peninsula are still fighting,
     so it's peaceful here now.
[07:34] ---
    But when they fall...
[07:38] ---
    There's one runway.
[07:39] ---
    It's alternately referred to
    as Runway 06 and Runway 24,
[07:42] ---
    depending on the direction
    of takeoff and landing.
[07:45] ---
    One runway?
[07:46] ---
    But don't civilian planes land here?
[07:49] ---
    They use it as well.
[07:51] ---
    What if you need to do an emergency takeoff?
[07:54] ---
    We share.
[07:57] ---
    What's this?
[07:59] ---
    An old bunker. It's not used now.
[08:02] ---
    
[08:06] ---
    I like this place.
[08:09] ---
    I feel like a princess here.
[08:11] ---
    I see.
[08:12] ---
    For an airplane, this is like a
    fancy bed with a canopy, huh?
[08:16] ---
    Yes.
[08:17] ---
    My secret base.
[08:19] ---
    But is that okay?
[08:21] ---
    This is a JSDF base, right?
[08:23] ---
    If you try to make it into your own room,
[08:25] ---
    won't they get mad if they find out?
[08:27] ---
    Haruka said that if you do something bad
    and nobody finds out, it's not bad.
[08:31] ---
    Haruka?
[08:33] ---
    Yashirodoori Haruka.
[08:34] ---
    The director.
[08:36] ---
    Yeah, that sounds like something he'd say.
[08:39] ---
    Come sit.
[08:41] ---
    Sure.
[08:44] ---
    Fui ao jardim da Celeste,
    giroflé, giroflá.
[08:51] ---
    Fui ao jardim da Celeste,
    giroflé, flé, flá.
[08:57] ---
    What language is that?
[08:59] ---
    I don't know.
[09:00] ---
    It was in the default training images.
[09:03] ---
    You were saying something off the
    coast of Shanghai too, right?
[09:06] ---
    Um, Nova Elu... Nove Ere?
[09:10] ---
    Nova Era.
[09:11] ---
    Yeah. That's right.
[09:13] ---
    I don't remember doing that,
     but I know what it means.
[09:15] ---
    "A new era."
[09:18] ---
    Was that in your training images, too?
[09:21] ---
    No, it was there from the start.
[09:24] ---
    The start?
[09:25] ---
    I don't know where I learned it, but...
[09:28] ---
    From the start.
[09:35] ---
    Yes? Roger.
[09:38] ---
    I'm sorry. It's time for checkups.
[09:41] ---
    Checkups?
[09:42] ---
    I need to go back.
[09:43] ---
    I'll walk you to the gate.
[09:46] ---
    See you tomorrow.
[09:51] ---
    Is she really that plane?
[09:56] ---
    Hey, Kei, do you have plans tomorrow?
[09:59] ---
    Yeah, I've got my job at the base.
[10:02] ---
    Two days in a row?
[10:04] ---
    Well, fine.
[10:06] ---
    I'm going to Kanazawa.
[10:08] ---
    Kanazawa?
[10:09] ---
    I passed the review for
    my refugee application.
[10:13] ---
    I was hoping you could come with
    me if you were free, but...
[10:16] ---
    Sorry.
[10:17] ---
    Your grandparents are leaving
    tomorrow morning, too.
[10:21] ---
    Don't bring any girls home!
[10:24] ---
    I won't!
[10:45] ---
    Coming, coming, coming, coming!
[10:48] ---
    Hello, who's there?
[10:51] ---
    Gripen?
[10:53] ---
    Hello, Kei.
[10:55] ---
    What are you doing here?
SIGN    Narutani
[10:57] ---
    Someone from TRDI brought me here.
[10:59] ---
    TRDI?
[11:00] ---
    The Technical Research
    and Development Institute.
[11:02] ---
    So, um... why are you here?
[11:08] ---
    Haruka told me to do whatever
    you told me to do.
[11:12] ---
    Whatever I told you to do?
[11:14] ---
    He said to let you have your way with me.
[11:17] ---
    Don't resist, no matter what you do.
[11:20] ---
    You're a young man, and some
    things are understandable.
[11:21] Background
    Let's have some fun!
[11:23] Background
    Oh no!
[11:26] Women
    Don't resist?
[11:27] Women
    Kids these days.
[11:30] ---
    Kei?
[11:31] ---
    Just get inside!
[11:41] ---
    Barley tea's fine, right?
[11:46] ---
    Is that you?
[11:48] ---
    Yeah.
[11:51] ---
    This is a photo of me and my mom
    when we went flying in China.
[11:56] ---
    I think I was about ten?
[11:58] ---
    She let me take over a little.
[12:01] ---
    You flew?
[12:03] ---
    Through the sky? Yourself?
[12:04] ---
    I've got over a hundred hours
    of flight time, you know.
[12:08] ---
    Wow.
[12:09] ---
    Wow?
[12:11] ---
    You've flown a lot more than me, right?
[12:14] ---
    No...
[12:15] ---
    I can't fly.
[12:19] ---
    You can't?
[12:20] ---
    During tests and during combat,
[12:22] ---
    I always lose control in the middle of
    the flight and am sent back to base.
[12:26] ---
    I'm useless. Defective.
[12:28] ---
    They don't know why?
[12:32] ---
    They keep giving me exams
    and finding nothing.
[12:35] ---
    But...
[12:36] ---
    But?
[12:37] ---
    It feels to me like I'm missing something.
[12:41] ---
    Like what?
[12:42] ---
    I don't know.
[12:44] ---
    But that's how it feels.
[12:47] ---
    How do you fly, Kei?
[12:49] ---
    What can I do to fly right?
[12:52] ---
    Um...
[12:53] ---
    Well, let me think.
[12:54] ---
    When I flew with my mom, she told me that
[12:57] ---
    planes are built to fly, so if
    I was worried about what to do,
[13:00] ---
    I should just do whatever came to mind.
[13:03] ---
    Without worrying about it?
[13:04] ---
    Once you start thinking
    about it, you freeze up.
[13:08] ---
    First, try to fly. Enjoy doing
    whatever you want to try.
[13:11] ---
    Maybe that's what she meant.
[13:15] ---
    Then if I fly with your mom,
    maybe I'll get better.
[13:19] ---
    If she can fly with me and help me,
     like she did with you,
[13:23] ---
    I can feel safer when I'm in the air.
[13:25] ---
    Can you ask her?
[13:28] ---
    No.
[13:29] ---
    Why?
[13:31] ---
    My mom's gone.
[13:33] ---
    She was doing stunts at an airshow when
    her plane was shot down by the Xi.
[13:41] ---
    N-No, it's nothing you need to worry about.
[13:44] ---
    Though I guess I'd be lying if
    I said I was totally over it.
[13:49] ---
    So, um... I'm counting on you!
[13:53] ---
    Get better soon and beat those Xi!
[13:56] ---
    So we can fly again.
[13:59] ---
    So I can avenge my mom!
[14:01] ---
    Okay. I'll do my best.
[14:04] ---
    So... what am I doing my best at?
[14:10] ---
    What is this?
[14:12] ---
    When you're in trouble,
     you ask for divine help, I guess.
SIGN    Uhashi Shrine
[14:16] ---
    Divine help?
[14:17] ---
    Yeah. You pray you'll be able to fly better.
[14:20] ---
    I pray I'll be able to fly better.
[14:23] ---
    You don't need to actually say it.
[14:27] ---
    What did you pray for?
[14:30] ---
    That the Xi will be gone soon.
[14:33] ---
    You don't like the Xi, Kei?
[14:36] ---
    Of course not.
[14:37] ---
    You were made to fight them, weren't you?
[14:41] ---
    Yes, but...
[14:43] ---
    I've lost so many things because of them.
[14:47] ---
    If it weren't for them...
[14:49] ---
    I'll never forgive the Xi.
[14:55] ---
    I pray that the Xi will be gone soon.
[15:00] ---
    You've never really left the base, right?
[15:03] ---
    Yes.
[15:04] ---
    This is all new to me.
[15:06] ---
    At times like these,
    if you just take it easy,
[15:10] ---
    everything will sometimes just work out.
[15:12] ---
    I see.
[15:13] ---
    That's good to know.
[15:14] ---
    Oh, right. What do you want for lunch?
[15:17] ---
    The daily lunch B set!
[15:19] ---
    It comes with one more
    side dish than the A set.
[15:21] ---
    And a deep-fried dish, too, so it's better.
[15:23] ---
    Is that the meal at the JSDF cafeteria?
[15:26] ---
    Yes.
[15:27] ---
    Sorry, but there is no B set in this city!
[15:30] ---
    What about the C set?
[15:32] ---
    No C set, either!
[15:33] ---
    My dreams are crushed.
[15:36] ---
    Don't worry.
[15:38] ---
    I'll give you something even better.
[15:41] ---
    Here you go!
[15:52] ---
    Let's eat.
[15:54] ---
    Okay, let's dig in.
[15:55] ---
    Okay.
[16:08] ---
    It's good.
[16:10] ---
    I'm glad.
[16:21] ---
    You've got soup on your face.
[16:25] ---
    What's this?
[16:26] ---
    Gyoza.
[16:27] ---
    Dip it in the sauce before you eat it.
[16:33] ---
    Hot!
[16:36] ---
    You're not supposed to eat it so fast.
[16:41] ---
    But it's good!
[16:56] ---
    You two are close, huh?
[16:58] ---
    Your sister?
[16:59] ---
    Yes, I guess.
[17:01] ---
    Kei is my teacher.
[17:03] ---
    He teaches me lots of things
    about the outside world.
[17:06] ---
    That's a good brother to have, huh?
[17:08] ---
    As the Chinese civil war escalates,
    what should Japan's response be?
[17:14] ---
    Well, I think it's important
    to understand just what
[17:16] ---
    it is these militants called the Xi want,
[17:18] ---
    and be prepared to sit
    down and talk with them.
[17:20] ---
    Sit down and talk with the Xi?
[17:22] ---
    Is all Japanese media like this?
[17:25] ---
    The Xi, was it?
[17:27] ---
    The weekly magazines talk about them
    like they're some kind of alien invaders.
[17:31] ---
    I wonder if they're going to attack Komatsu.
[17:34] ---
    Don't worry.
[17:35] ---
    If they do, I'll protect the city.
[17:41] ---
    Welcome!
[17:42] ---
    Keep your mouth shut, dummy.
[17:46] ---
    But it's important.
[17:48] ---
    I was made to protect humanity.
[17:52] ---
    Even if I'm unstable during flight,
[17:54] ---
    I need to fight until the very end
     and shoot down the enemy.
[17:58] ---
    I see.
[17:59] ---
    She's trying her best to protect humanity,
    in her own way.
[18:04] ---
    Kei...
[18:06] ---
    I want more gyoza.
[18:22] (Flashback) ---
    The Gripen is an extremely unstable weapon.
[18:26] (Flashback) ---
    The slightest thing causes it to lose
    function and go out of control.
[18:30] (Flashback) ---
    My bosses are telling me they
    don't want to waste any more money
[18:33] (Flashback) ---
    on a prototype without obvious potential.
[18:37] ---
    But as a scientist, I want to keep
    struggling until the very end.
[18:43] ---
    Will you help me?
[18:46] ---
    Help her fly again.
[18:54] ---
    Here.
[18:56] ---
    I didn't know what you liked...
[18:58] ---
    So I just bought something at random.
[19:01] ---
    If you don't like it, you can have this one.
[19:03] ---
    No, yogurt drinks are a favorite.
[19:06] ---
    But I remembered something
    slightly unpleasant.
[19:09] ---
    Unpleasant?
[19:11] ---
    Someone once told me that my body
    wasn't developing properly,
[19:15] ---
    and I should drink lots of dairy products.
[19:18] ---
    If I liked sweets,
    then I should drink yogurt.
[19:21] ---
    It would make my breasts bigger.
[19:24] ---
    It was very rude.
[19:26] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[19:30] ---
    It's good.
[19:32] ---
    Oh, I'm glad you like it.
[19:33] ---
    This may be the first time
    I've ever drank yogurt.
[19:37] ---
    What?
[19:39] ---
    I thought you said it was a favorite.
[19:43] ---
    Hey, Gripen!
[19:45] ---
    What's wrong?
[19:46] ---
    Are you okay?
[19:47] ---
    Don't worry.
[19:48] ---
    She's asleep, that's all.
[19:50] ---
    Yashirodoori...
[19:52] ---
    "Yashirodoori-san" to you, Prince Charming.
[19:54] ---
    I'm older than you, you know.
[19:57] ---
    What are you doing?
[19:58] ---
    Don't worry. They work for me.
[20:05] ---
    What is the point of all this?
[20:07] ---
    Just leaving the two of us
    together with no explanation...
[20:12] ---
    Three hours.
[20:14] ---
    That's how often Gripen
    is awake, on average.
[20:16] ---
    That's usually how long it
    takes before she passes out...
[20:20] ---
    Regardless of whether she's
    in the middle of the air or not.
[20:23] ---
    But today...
[20:25] ---
    That's right. She was up and
    about for over ten hours.
[20:30] ---
    I'm surprised.
[20:32] ---
    And all she did was go on a
    child's idea of a date with you.
[20:36] ---
    You were watching?
[20:38] ---
    We have no idea what it
    is that wakes her up.
[20:41] ---
    I'd like to develop a hypothesis and
    investigate, but we don't have a lot of time.
[20:46] ---
    The date of her test
    flight has been decided.
[20:49] ---
    Her test flight?
[20:50] ---
    Exactly one week from today.
[20:53] ---
    If she can't fly right then,
[20:55] ---
    she'll be scrapped this time.
[20:57] ---
    Scrapped?
[20:58] ---
    I did everything I could.
[21:01] ---
    Well, just take it as a sign that
    Anima cost a lot more than you think.
[21:07] ---
    There's no denying the fact
    that they're inefficient.
[21:10] ---
    But the other Anima keep adding to
    their flight hours with no problems.
[21:15] ---
    It makes sense to just scrap a plane with
    no future and move on to the next one.
[21:20] ---
    But...
[21:22] ---
    If it weren't for her, we'd be dead.
[21:26] ---
    Then it's time pay her back.
[21:29] ---
    Stop whining and help us, Prince Charming.
[21:34] ---
    I've been wondering...
    Why do you keep calling me that?
[21:38] ---
    Because in the fairy tales,
[21:42] ---
    it's always Prince Charming's
    kiss that wakes up the princess.
[21:46] ---
    Even if it's the princess
    who goes in for the kiss first.
[23:28] ---
    Next time on Girly Air Force...
