**[00:07] M**
There we go.
**[00:12] M**
Good morning!
**[00:13] M**
Working hard again today, huh?
**[00:16] F**
Yes!
**[00:18] M**
You okay?
**[00:19] F**
Yes! I'm going to run another lap!
**[00:21] M**
Bye!
**[00:25] M**
Almost done.
**[00:26] M**
Guess I should work hard, too.
**[00:32] (Flashback) F**
Remodeled?
**[00:33] (Flashback) N**
Yes. The admiral called you back to
**[00:36] (Flashback) N**
the Naval District to undergo
a significant remodel.
**[00:39] (Flashback) N**
He said you'd be vital to the next battle,
**[00:42] (Flashback) N**
and absolutely irreplaceable.
**[00:47] (Flashback) F**
The commander needs me?
**[00:56] F**
I'll do my best!
**[00:57] F**
I'm going to get remodeled!
**[01:00] F**
One more lap!

***SIGN*** Let's Do Our Best!
**[02:33] N**
I see. So you lost sight of them?
**[02:36] H**
Yes,
**[02:37] H**
we confirmed one of them
**[02:39] H**
was a Wo-Class with red eyes.
**[02:41] S**
It was definitely the carrier group
that bombed the Naval District, but...
**[02:45] S**
I'm sorry.
**[02:47] M**
Well?
**[02:48] O**
Unfortunately, that intel isn't enough
**[02:50] O**
to tell us where they came from.
**[02:52] N**
I see.
**[02:54] N**
"Use the full power of our combined fleet
**[02:57] N**
to strike Abyssal Base AF,
**[02:59] N**
lure in the enemy carrier
group, and eliminate them."
**[03:03] S**
That's the plan the admiral left for us?
**[03:06] H**
Base AF.
**[03:08] M**
I think the admiral used a code
**[03:10] M**
to prevent information leaks.
**[03:13] M**
Any ideas?
**[03:15] S**
Do you have any?
**[03:16] H**
No...
**[03:20] N**
Where is it?
***SIGN*** Destroyers
**[03:26] Y**
The desk is a little low.
**[03:29] Ak**
I-I think mine's a little low, too.
**[03:32] I**
Yours is fine.
**[03:34] F**
Anyway, what else was there?
**[03:37] ---**
Um...
**[03:38] Y**
Nothing special.
**[03:41] F**
Nothing you did that made you
feel you'd improved your skills?
**[03:44] M**
Questioning her again?
**[03:46] F**
I still don't have enough training!
**[03:48] F**
I need to do more.
**[03:52] M**
You're doing even more?
**[03:53] F**
I have to!
**[03:55] F**
Akagi-senpai told me that
the way to get remodeled
**[03:57] F**
is to increase your skill level.
**[04:05] T**
Next! Go!
**[04:07] F**
Right!
**[04:22] F**
Again, please!
**[04:24] T**
Go!
**[04:32] I**
She's gotten really good.
**[04:34] M**
Yeah.
**[04:43] Y**
Okay, I'm leaving, then.
**[04:44] F**
Yeah. See you tomorrow.
**[04:46] M**
Good luck with your training!
**[04:49] M**
Oh, right.
**[04:50] M**
Mamiya-san's café is officially reopening!
**[04:53] F**
Really? That's great.
**[04:55] M**
Yeah. Want to go?
**[04:57] F**
Not today.
**[04:59] F**
I've got more training to do,
**[05:02] F**
and if I eat too much, I get sleepy.
**[05:04] F**
Tell Mamiya-san I said hi, though.
**[05:08] M**
Yeah.
**[05:09] F**
Bye!
**[05:12] F**
Oh, Akagi-senpai!
**[05:14] F**
Excuse me! Bye!
**[05:15] A**
Yeah...
**[05:17] K**
That's rare. She saw you
**[05:20] K**
and just ran right by.
**[05:29] J**
The MI Theater?
**[05:31] N**
Yes. I'd like you to confirm the situation.
**[05:34] M**
But, don't go in too deep.
**[05:36] M**
And watch out for fires.
**[05:39] J**
Right.
**[05:40] N**
Your mission is only to
determine which Base is AF.
**[05:43] Sh**
It's cold!
**[05:43] N**
*I've already sent other squads to*
**[05:46] N**
*the northern and southern zones.*
**[05:49] N**
There's no doubt that the carrier group
**[05:51] N**
that bombed the Naval District
is the enemy's primary force.
**[05:54] N**
If you get close,
they'll definitely take action.
**[05:57] F**
In short, if we get near
a base and they react,
**[05:59] F**
that means the carrier group is close.
**[06:01] M**
That's right.
**[06:03] N**
That's all.
**[06:04] N**
Head out!
**[06:08] M**
Is something bothering you?
**[06:10] ---**
No...
**[06:10] N**
I was wondering why the admiral chose her.
**[06:14] M**
Fubuki-chan?
**[06:16] M**
He was the one who brought her
back to the Naval District, right?
**[06:20] N**
She's the name ship of the
Special Type Destroyers,
**[06:23] N**
but she's not particularly better-equipped
or faster than the other ships.
**[06:27] N**
Even if she undergoes a major remodel,
**[06:29] N**
she won't change that much.
**[06:32] M**
Are you jealous of her?
**[06:35] N**
Don't be stupid.
**[06:36] N**
I'm just wondering.
**[06:38] M**
The admiral has strange ideas sometimes.
**[06:40] M**
I mean, he made you the secretary ship, after all.
**[06:43] N**
What are you saying?
**[06:45] M**
There's nothing wrong with being jealous.
**[06:47] M**
I'm jealous of the admiral,
**[06:49] M**
for making the girl I care
about so much the secretary ship.
**[06:55] N**
Care about so much—
**[07:05] J**
Don't do that, Naka-chan.
**[07:06] J**
Pay attention.
**[07:08] N**
I'm bored, though.
**[07:10] Y**
What about the recon planes?
**[07:16] S**
They're not picking anything up.
**[07:18] M**
The sea's quiet, too.
**[07:20] S**
That means this isn't—
**[07:22] F**
Look!
**[07:29] S**
They're definitely found us.
**[07:30] N**
You need to get permission from
the District to take photos of me!
**[07:33] J**
We'll leave this area immediately.
**[07:44] J**
Keep an eye out, everybody.
**[07:49] F**
Enemy ships sighted!
**[07:50] S**
Looks like they circled around us.
**[07:52] N**
Give it up already!
**[07:54] Y**
Our only choice is to
start a wonderful party.
**[07:57] J**
No!
**[08:00] S**
Jintsuu!
**[08:02] J**
How many of them are there?
**[08:03] M**
Four destroyers, and two light cruisers!
**[08:06] S**
If that's all...
**[08:07] N**
Let's do it!
**[08:09] J**
We don't have a choice.
**[08:11] J**
Torpedo Squad Three, prepare for combat!
**[08:17] F**
If I defeat them here,
my skill level will...
**[08:22] M**
Fubuki-chan...
**[08:23] F**
I'm going on ahead!
**[08:26] F**
Watch me, Commander.
**[08:28] F**
I'm going to get them!
**[08:33] F**
Close! Next!
**[08:37] F**
I hit them!
**[08:47] M**
Fubuki-chan!
**[08:51] M**
Fubuki-chan!
**[08:52] S**
Get back, Special Type Destroyer!
**[08:55] F**
I'm fine.
**[08:56] F**
You get the enemy destroyers!
**[08:59] F**
They're damaged, too.
**[09:01] F**
If I can get one more hit in...
**[09:07] M**
Fubuki-chan!
**[09:08] F**
One more...
**[09:20] F**
I'm still okay.
**[09:22] F**
If I can defeat them...
**[09:25] F**
I'm sure... I'm sure...
**[09:28] M**
No, Fubuki-chan!
**[09:30] F**
This is it.
**[09:39] F**
No way...
**[09:55] F**
Huh?
**[09:57] F**
A dream?
**[09:59] S**
Oh, you're awake!
**[10:04] F**
Mutsuki-chan...
**[10:06] F**
Thank goodness... I'm so glad...
**[10:08] F**
Um, I...
**[10:11] F**
You were lucky. That last
attack just missed you.
**[10:14] F**
If it had hit, you would've sank.
**[10:17] F**
Then...
**[10:18] F**
Mutsuki-chan.
**[10:19] F**
Did I beat that Abyssal?
**[10:23] M**
Fubuki-chan...
**[10:24] S**
Unfortunately, you missed, too.
**[10:28] F**
I see.
**[10:30] F**
I thought I almost had them.
**[10:33] M**
That doesn't matter.
**[10:37] M**
Fubuki-chan, you almost sank!
**[10:40] F**
Mutsuki-chan...
**[10:42] M**
You can't act like that!
**[10:45] M**
If you sink, you don't come back!
**[10:48] M**
You can't fight, or walk,
**[10:51] M**
or talk with everyone,
**[10:53] M**
or do anything!
**[10:55] M**
You won't even be able to regret it...
**[10:57] M**
You'll just disappear into the sea!
**[11:02] F**
But...
**[11:03] M**
I don't want that to happen again!
**[11:05] M**
When I think I about losing you
**[11:07] M**
like I lost Kisaragi-chan...
**[11:09] M**
I couldn't take that again!
**[11:13] F**
Mutsuki-chan!
**[11:15] S**
You need to think a little
about how she feels.
**[11:23] N**
If Torpedo Squad Three took
the worst counterattack,
**[11:27] N**
Base MI is the real target.
**[11:30] M**
Isn't it a little early to
jump to that conclusion?
**[11:33] N**
I know.
**[11:35] N**
I want something that proves it.
**[11:37] O**
Jeez, what is this?
**[11:40] M**
What is it?
**[11:41] O**
I've been in contact with Chitose,
**[11:45] O**
but it looks like the lines
are getting crossed.
**[11:49] N**
Ooyodo!
**[11:51] O**
Yes?
**[12:06] F**
Mutsuki-chan...
**[12:07] F**
I need to talk to you.
**[12:17] O**
I'm all alone with Kitakami-san
in a dark place like this!
**[12:21] K**
Ooicchi.
**[12:22] O**
Y-Yes?
**[12:23] K**
Can I hold your hand?
**[12:26] K**
It's dark, and I can't see that well...
**[12:28] K**
No?
**[12:30] O**
O-Of course!
**[12:31] K**
I see. Guess that's a no.
**[12:35] O**
No! I mean, yes!
**[12:38] O**
I agree! Definitely, yes! Please!
**[12:40] K**
I don't really understand, but okay...
**[12:48] K**
It got light.
**[12:50] K**
I can see now. Let's go.
**[12:55] O**
Stupid moon!
**[12:57] O**
I'll sink you to the bottom of that ocean!
**[12:58] K**
Ooicchi, why are you yelling at the moon?
**[13:01] O**
It's nothing!
**[13:08] F**
I'm sorry.
**[13:09] F**
It's just that too much happened at once.
**[13:12] F**
I can't think about it all.
**[13:14] M**
No, I think I understand how you feel.
**[13:18] M**
I'm sorry.
**[13:20] F**
No...
**[13:23] M**
I just get so scared.
**[13:32] F**
You know...
**[13:33] F**
The commander talked to me here.
**[13:37] F**
I was sitting like this,
I heard footsteps behind me,
**[13:40] F**
and when I turned around, he was there.
**[13:44] F**
I'd just come to the Naval District,
**[13:47] F**
so I was really nervous.
**[13:49] F**
I didn't know why I was brought here.
**[13:52] F**
Since I can't do anything...
**[13:54] F**
So, I decided to just ask him.
**[13:58] F**
"Why me?"
**[14:01] F**
"Why did you bring me here?" I asked.
**[14:04] M**
Did he answer?
**[14:06] F**
He said he saw me in a dream.
**[14:10] F**
It was like I was talking
**[14:12] F**
to him with all my heart.
**[14:21] (Flashback) F**
I love you, Commander!
**[14:23] (Flashback) F**
Yes, I trust you!
**[14:27] M**
That's all?
**[14:29] F**
Yeah.
**[14:30] F**
He told me he wanted to start here.
**[14:34] ---**
And so...
**[14:35] F**
And so, I decided to start, too.
**[14:38] F**
To have a dream, and head toward it.
**[14:41] M**
What's your dream?
**[14:43] F**
To be useful to someone.
**[14:47] F**
It doesn't matter how much...
**[14:50] F**
I want to help everyone.
**[14:52] M**
Then, that's why you want to be remodeled?
**[14:55] F**
Yeah.
**[14:56] M**
I see.
**[15:03] F**
I'm sorry.
**[15:13] F**
Mutsuki-chan?
**[15:17] F**
I'll never leave you.
**[15:19] F**
I promise.
**[15:23] M**
Yeah.
**[15:28] A**
The admiral once told me something.
**[15:32] A**
He told me to pick my own escort.
**[15:36] K**
Akagi-san...
**[15:41] M**
The number of enemy forces has increased?
**[15:43] M**
You're sure?
**[15:45] O**
Yes. The Seaplane Tenders,
Chitose and Chiyoda, confirmed it.
**[15:50] N**
I thought so.
**[15:52] M**
If it's an important base, they'll be sending
a lot of in and outbound communications.
**[15:56] N**
Considerable enemy air power
is gathering there, too.
**[16:00] N**
It has to be...
**[16:01] M**
But, it's just a possibility.
**[16:03] N**
I know. But...
**[16:07] N**
I'm declaring MI to be the
**[16:10] N**
Abyssal Base AF in our mission orders.
**[16:18] F**
Okay!
**[16:26] F**
That's...
**[16:28] A**
Good morning, Fubuki-san.
**[16:30] F**
Akagi-senpai!
**[16:32] A**
Well? Think you'll uncover a new you?
**[16:35] F**
Well, I'm trying my best.
**[16:38] A**
I see.
**[16:40] A**
Actually, I have a request.
**[16:45] F**
Your escort?
**[16:47] A**
Yes.
**[16:48] A**
Will you do it?
**[16:50] F**
Me?
**[16:51] K**
Akagi-san.
**[16:53] A**
Kaga-san?
**[16:55] K**
I'd like to respect your wishes, Akagi-san...
**[16:58] ---**
However, to me—
**[17:00] K**
no, to the whole fleet,
**[17:02] K**
you are the irreplaceable
Fleet Carrier of Group One.
**[17:06] K**
Fubuki-san.
**[17:08] K**
I'd like to be allowed to test
you, and see if you have
**[17:11] K**
the power to protect Akagi-san.
**[17:14] K**
If you think you can't,
**[17:16] K**
then refuse her, now.
**[17:18] A**
Kaga-san...
**[17:23] F**
I'll do it.
**[17:25] F**
Please, let me try!
**[17:31] K**
The upcoming battle will be a fight
between carrier groups.
**[17:36] K**
To escort her, you'll need to
be able to handle AA defense.
**[17:39] F**
Right!
**[17:40] K**
We're going to launch some practice planes.
**[17:43] K**
Destroy them while dodging their attacks.
**[17:46] F**
I'm ready!
**[18:02] K**
I can't let you escort Akagi-san like that.
**[18:06] K**
One more time.
**[18:08] F**
Right!
***SIGN*** Destroyers
**[18:09] Y**
Did you do your homework?
**[18:11] I**
Fubuki-chan? She's not here?
**[18:14] M**
She went out to train and never
came back, so I thought...
**[18:17] Y**
Is she still running?
**[18:21] S**
Trouble.
**[18:23] S**
I just passed by the training grounds,
and Fubuki-chan was there....
**[18:31] K**
One more time.
**[18:32] A**
Right!
**[18:41] M**
Fubuki-chan!
**[18:45] A**
Stand up, now. Or are you giving up?
**[18:48] F**
I'll do it!
**[18:49] M**
No...
**[19:14] M**
She can't do this anymore!
**[19:15] M**
Stop—
**[19:16] F**
No!
**[19:17] M**
Fubuki-chan...
**[19:19] A**
I want to be Akagi-senpai's escort.
**[19:23] A**
I want to be useful to someone.
**[19:25] ---**
Fubuki-chan...
**[19:27] F**
Please, one more time...
**[19:30] F**
One more time...
**[19:33] K**
Fubuki-san.
**[19:35] A**
Here I go.
**[19:36] A**
Stand.
**[19:37] A**
Your efforts until now far exceed this!
**[19:42] F**
Senpai...
**[19:43] A**
I know
**[19:45] A**
how you couldn't even
travel through the water,
**[19:48] A**
and how you kept going forward: good,
**[19:51] A**
unashamed, and hard-working.
**[19:54] A**
You can do this!
**[19:56] A**
Now, stand!
**[20:10] M**
Fubuki-chan...
**[20:12] (Flashback) F**
I want to be useful to someone.
**[20:29] M**
You can do it! You can do it!
**[20:31] F**
Hit...
**[20:39] M**
Just one more!
**[20:40] M**
Let's do our best!
**[20:42] F**
Please hit!
**[20:51] F**
Go!
**[21:10] M**
Fubuki-chan!
**[21:13] M**
Are you okay, Fubuki-chan?
**[21:15] A**
You did great.
**[21:18] F**
I did it...
**[21:22] A**
Looking good.
**[21:23] A**
Head to the factory, quickly.
**[21:26] F**
Right!
**[21:30] F**
Well? Ready?
**[21:31] M**
Yeah, let's see!
**[21:38] F**
This is my remodeling?
**[21:48] F**
Huh?
**[21:51] F**
Huh?!
**[21:52] Y**
You didn't really change?
**[21:54] M**
I'm glad.
**[21:55] F**
I'm not!
**[21:57] F**
Maybe they didn't remodel me, or something?
**[21:59] M**
No way!
**[22:01] M**
Look! You've got long 10 centimeter guns,
**[22:04] M**
and your outfit's a little different.
**[22:05] M**
They say sometimes you don't look different.
**[22:09] F**
Really?
**[22:15] F**
I almost feel like all
that effort was wasted.
**[22:19] F**
Akagi-senpai!
**[22:20] A**
Fubuki-san, as promised,
**[22:22] A**
I'll make you my escort
for the next mission.
**[22:27] A**
You'll accept, right?
**[22:36] F**
Yeah!
**[22:38] N**
I see.
**[22:39] N**
Good work.
