[02:06] M
    What's wrong, Fubuki-chan?
[02:09] F
    This is my first mission briefing,
[02:13] F
    so I'm a little nervous.
[02:15] Y
    Fubuki-chan, are you feeling weird again?
[02:18] F
    Am I acting strange?
[02:20] Y
    You didn't notice?
[02:23] M
    It's okay.
[02:24] M
    Now, let's go inside.
[02:32] Ki
    Mutsuki-chan!
[02:33] M
    Kisaragi-chan!
[02:35] M
    Are you participating in this operation, too?
[02:39] Ki
    Yes!
[02:40] M
    It's been so long since
    we've been together!
[02:42] Ki
    Right!
[02:43] Mi
    Even among us sister ships,
[02:45] Mi
    those two are always
[02:47] Mi
    extra close.
[02:49] Y
    I'm not... jealous.
[02:53] Y
    Is this your first time
     meeting them, Fubuki-chan?
[02:58] Mi
    I'm Mochizuki!
[03:00] Y
    I'm Yayoi.
[03:02] Y
    Don't worry about me.
[03:05] F
    I'm Fubuki.
[03:07] F
    Nice to meet you.
[03:15] Se
    Salute!
[03:19] N
    I'm the Secretary Ship Nagato.
[03:22] N
    I have a mission from the
    admiral for you all.
[03:26] N
    I believe you're aware that all
    abyssal bases in the area are gone
[03:29] N
    after the discovery and destruction of
[03:33] N
    the enemy base several days ago.
[03:35] F
    Several days ago...
[03:41] N
    Because of this,
[03:42] N
    we believe the order for a large-scale
    counterattack will be issued in a few days.
[03:47] N
    This mission will be a test
    for that operation.
[03:51] N
    This is the target.
[03:53] N
    W Island.
[03:56] N
    I'd like you to wipe out
    the enemy torpedo squadrons
[03:59] N
    guarding this base,
    in a surprise night attack.
[04:02] Se
    All right! I've been
     waiting for a night battle!
[04:05] J
    Sister...
[04:06] N
    The basic plan is
[04:08] N
    Torpedo Squadron Three
     will lure the enemy out
[04:10] N
    and then change course.
[04:12] N
    They'll lead them to the area where
    Torpedo Squadron Four is waiting,
[04:16] N
    and both units will fight together.
[04:18] N
    If we can capture W Island,
[04:20] N
    we can move our patrol lines forward
    and execute additional operations.
[04:25] N
    Are you ready?

    A sneak attack at night?
[04:36] F
    I'm so nervous.
[04:38] Y
    Fubuki-chan, you look really pale.
[04:41] M
    You don't need to worry so much.
[04:44] A
    You're going on a mission, right,
    Torpedo Squadron Three?
[04:49] I
    We heard it's a night battle.
[04:51] I
    In that case, we want you
     to eat this, Fubuki-san.
[04:56] F
    Thanks. Are these...
[04:58] H
    Blueberries.
[05:00] Ak
    They're said to be good for your eyes.
[05:01] Ak
    Now you'll be just fine
    during a night battle!
[05:04] A
    Fubuki-chan!
[05:05] A
    You're going on a mission?
[05:07] F
    Ah, yes!
[05:09] A
    Ta-da!
[05:11] A
    Here, have this.
[05:14] F
    A charm?
[05:15] T
    It's a good luck charm to keep
    enemy shots from hitting you.
[05:18] T
    Actually, inside it is Atago-chan's—
[05:20] A
    Takao-chan!
[05:23] T
    We'll be praying for your safety, too.
[05:26] F
    Thank you.
[05:29] Ma
    Here you go.
[05:30] Ma
    Eat a lot, okay?
[05:33] F
    I didn't order—
[05:34] T
    It's from me!
[05:36] T
    Eat up, so you have no regrets!
[05:39] T
    I'll be praying for your safety!
[05:41] F
    Th-Thank you...
[05:45] Ak
    I'm glad she liked it.
[05:50] Y
    You seem really popular, Fubuki-chan.
[05:52] F
    Actually—
[05:53] Oi
    Out of the way. You're
    in Kitakami-san's way.
[05:56] F
    I'm sorry!
[05:58] Kt
    Oh,
[05:59] Kt
    they brought you a bunch of stuff, huh?
[06:02] O
    She's the one who's most likely
    to get hit in the next battle,
[06:05] O
    isn't she?
[06:07] M
    Hang in there, Fubuki-chan.
[06:10] Kt
    Well, no sense in freaking out now.
[06:13] Kt
    Just take it easy, okay?
[06:15] O
    Listen.
[06:16] O
    Kitakami-san took time away
    from being with me to teach you,
[06:20] O
    so get in at least one hit, okay?
[06:23] F
    Right.
[06:26] F
    I'm going to practice.
[06:29] Y
    No!
[06:31] Y
    We were told to get
[06:33] Y
    some rest for tomorrow!
[06:35] F
    But, I'm going
[06:37] F
    to slow everyone down.
[06:40] M
    That's not true!
[06:43] F
    Mutsuki-chan!
[06:45] M
    It's okay! You can do it!
[06:47] M
    You trained so hard, Fubuki-chan!
[06:52] F
    But...
[06:55] M
    I believe in you!
[06:56] M
    Have faith in yourself!
[06:58] M
    You'll be fine!
[07:01] F
    Mutsuki-chan!
[07:04] F
    Yeah!
[07:16] Y
    Fubuki-chan, are you okay now?
[07:19] F
    Yeah, thanks to Mutsuki-chan.
[07:22] M
    I just remembered how Kisaragi-chan
[07:26] M
    once told me she believed in me, too.
[07:29] M
    It really cheered me up.
[07:33] F
    Kisaragi-chan did?
[07:35] M
    Listen, I'm the
[07:37] M
    name ship of the Mutsuki class.
[07:40] M
    But, Kisaragi-chan actually
[07:41] M
    entered service just before
    me, so she's my big sister.
[07:45] Y
    That's kind of rare!
[07:49] M
    Right after I arrived at the Naval District,
[07:52] M
    there was a battle.
[07:55] M
    The older girls finished everything
    before I could do anything.
[07:59] M
    But, I was slightly damaged.
[08:04] M
    And so Kisaragi-chan stayed
    with me the whole time
[08:06] M
    and helped me get better.
[08:11] M
    She cheered me up.
[08:15] M
    I'm really grateful.
[08:21] F
    It's just like you and me!
[08:25] M
    I'm not that special...
[08:27] F
    That's not true.
[08:29] F
    I was able to do my best
    because you were here!
[08:34] M
    Fubuki-chan!
[08:37] Y
    Am I just in the way?
[08:39] F
    Of course, I'm really grateful
    to you, too, Yuudachi-chan!
[08:44] Y
    It doesn't sound like you mean it!
[08:47] F
    It's true!
[08:48] Y
    You're lying!
[08:49] F
    It really is true!
[08:51] ---
    You're lying.
[09:16] A
    You're working hard, aren't you?
[09:19] F
    Akagi-senpai!
[09:22] F
    I just wanted to review everything.
[09:25] F
    Everyone helped me train, and I...
[09:31] A
    Would you watch this?
[09:55] F
    That's amazing!
[09:58] A
    There's a saying that goes,
    "Shoot true, never miss."
[10:02] A
    Meaning, if you keep the correct
[10:05] A
    posture when shooting,
[10:07] A
    the arrow will be certain to strike.
[10:10] A
    I think it means that if you train,
[10:12] A
    it'll be sure to pay off.
[10:15] F
    "Shoot true, never miss."
[10:17] A
    If you think you've trained enough,
[10:20] A
    then just do what feels right.
[10:22] A
    Your body is sure to remember it.
[10:27] F
    Right!
[10:32] F
    By the way,
[10:33] F
    what are you doing up
    so early, Akagi-senpai?
[10:43] M
    Good morning.
[10:45] A
    I happened to get up early,
[10:46] A
    and she was in front of my door,
    deciding whether or not to knock.
[10:50] M
    I just thought that it was what
[10:54] M
    Kisaragi-chan would do.
[10:56] F
    Mutsuki-chan...
[10:59] A
    What's wrong?
[11:01] F
    Mutsuki-chan has done so much for me...
[11:04] F
    I don't know how I can repay her.
[11:08] M
    I'm fine.
[11:12] M
    But...
[11:13] M
    I thought the same thing.
[11:17] M
    How can I pay back Kisaragi-chan
[11:19] M
    and the other older girls?
[11:24] A
    Nobody wants you
[11:27] A
    to repay us.
[11:31] A
    Just say, "Thank you."
[11:33] A
    Say what you think.
[11:37] M
    Is that all?
[11:41] M
    We fleet girls are fated to fight from
[11:45] M
    the moment we're born.
[11:48] M
    If the counterattack operation begins,
[11:51] M
    the battles will get tougher.
[11:53] M
    Who knows how many of the fleet girls
[11:56] M
    in this Naval District will be okay.
[11:59] M
    But... I'm still glad I'm a fleet girl.
[12:03] M
    I can protect the people I care about.
[12:06] M
    I can fight with the people I love.
[12:13] M
    My steel rigging is for fighting.
[12:16] M
    My passionate blood is for protecting.
[12:20] M
    My hidden heart is to love.
[12:23] M
    Thank you. I love you.
[12:26] M
    You're wonderful. I'm so happy.
[12:29] M
    Don't hesitate to tell the people
[12:31] M
    you care about the feelings
    you have for them.
[12:35] M
    Because they may not
[12:37] M
    be there tomorrow.
[12:40] F
    Right!
[12:50] F
    Thank you, Mutsuki-chan!
[12:52] F
    I love you!
[12:53] M
    I love you, too!
[13:00] F
    And um...
[13:02] F
    Akagi-senpai!
[13:04] F
    I really respect you!
[13:08] F
    I want to fight in the same
    fleet as you someday!
[13:12] A
    Thank you. I'll be waiting!
[13:17] F
    Okay!
[13:23] Se
    Okay!
[13:24] Se
    Night battle! Night battle!
[13:26] Se
    I can't wait!
[13:28] J
    My body feels warm, too.
[13:31] Na
    Leave it up to us to draw them out.
[13:33] Na
    I'll seduce everybody with my charms.
[13:37] K
    I'm worried about that, kuma.
[13:39] Yu
    Don't leave me behind, okay, everybody?
[13:41] T
    It's okay, nya. Nya-o problem.
[13:45] M
    Hey, Kisaragi-chan.
[13:50] Ki
    What is it?
[13:51] M
    Um...
[13:53] M
    Once this operation is over
[13:55] M
    I want to tell you something.
[13:57] Ki
    Oh my.
[13:58] Ki
    A confession of love?
[14:00] M
    No!
[14:02] M
    Well, maybe...
[14:04] M
    But... Um...
[14:09] Ki
    Okay.
[14:12] Ki
    It's a promise!
[14:16] M
    Yeah!
[14:21] O
    It's time for the operation to begin.
[14:25] N
    The operation to capture W island begins.
[14:28] N
    Torpedo Squadrons Three and Four,
[14:31] N
    head out!
[14:32] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[14:41] N
    Found 'em!
[14:43] J
    They haven't seen us, have they?
[14:45] N
    Yeah!
[14:46] N
    We're here in secret today!
[14:49] J
    The plan is for us to watch
[14:51] J
    the enemy and wait until nightfall.
[14:54] J
    Sister, get your Type 0 Recon Seaplane!
[14:56] Se
    Right!
[15:02] J
    I'm counting on you.
[15:06] Se
    Go!
[15:16] J
    Fubuki-chan, Yuudachi-chan, Mutsuki-chan.
[15:20] J
    I want you three to
[15:22] J
    take turns patrolling.
[15:24] ---
    Yes!
[15:30] M
    Hey, Yuudachi-chan.
[15:33] ---
    Yuudachi-chan, I...
[15:36] M
    ...love you!
[15:41] Y
    That was too sudden!
[15:43] Y
    Did you get so nervous that you broke?
[15:46] M
    No!
[15:49] M
    Actually, this morning...
[15:53] Se
    Our scout planes haven't come back.
[15:56] N
    Is it taking them a while
    to finish recording?
[15:58] J
    I'm a little worried.
[16:02] M
    That's what Akagi-senpai said.
[16:06] Y
    I see.
[16:09] Y
    That's kind of nice.
[16:11] M
    Isn't it?
[16:12] M
    And so I realized that
[16:14] M
    I hadn't really said that to you.
[16:18] Y
    Then, I guess I haven't really, either...
[16:22] Y
    You guys, I really...
[16:26] F
    No way!
[16:28] Se
    What is it, Special Type Destroyer?
[16:30] F
    Ten o'clock!
[16:32] F
    Enemy planes!
[16:35] J
    No!
[16:36] J
    There were no movements offshore...
[16:38] J
    Where did they come from?!
[16:39] Se
    More importantly, if their
    scouts have found us...
[16:42] N
    The enemy fleet's heading out!
[16:46] Se
    Send a message to HQ!
[16:49] N
    Impossible.
[16:50] N
    What do we do?
[16:51] N
    Now that the enemy's found
     Torpedo Squadron Three,
[16:54] N
    a surprise attack is impossible.
[16:56] N
    Should we bring in Squadron
     Four for a head-on assault?
[16:59] N
    No, send back Squadron Three.
[17:02] N
    Tell them to withdraw from
    the area at top speed.
[17:07] Mu
    But, there's only two Light
    Cruisers and four Destroyers.
[17:12] Mu
    I think we could defeat them with two units.
[17:15] N
    If that's all there is.
[17:18] J
    Sister, look!
[17:29] Y
    No way!
[17:30] N
    Two Nu-Class Ships?!
[17:31] Se
    They've seen us!
[17:36] J
    Diamond formation! Prepare for anti-air combat!
[17:44] Se
    Open fire!
[17:49] M
    I'm going back with everyone!
[17:53] Mu
    Two Carriers?
[17:55] N
    I knew it.
[17:56] Mu
    At this rate,
[17:58] Mu
    the enemy torpedo squad will
    catch up to Squadron Three,
[18:01] Mu
    and they'll be trapped!
[18:02] N
    I won't let that happen.
[18:04] N
    Contact Squadron Four.
[18:06] N
    Tell them to stall the enemy torpedo squad.
[18:10] Mu
    But, what do we do after this?
[18:12] Mu
    Even if we send reinforcements,
    they won't make it in time.
[18:15] N
    No, there's still a way!
[18:21] Ku
    I found the enemy torpedo squad, kuma!
[18:23] Y
    Prepare for surface combat!
[18:27] Ki
    Mutsuki-chan...
[18:28] Y
    Everybody, we'll stop them here!
[18:37] N
    Naka-chan belongs to everybody!
[18:40] N
    Don't attack me so much!
[18:44] Y
    They're flying around so
    much they're hard to hit!
[18:50] M
    Listen, Fubuki-chan!
[18:52] M
    Let's make sure we go home together!
[18:56] F
    Right!
[19:09] Se
    Mutsuki, torpedoes!
[19:11] Se
    You can hit them from that position!
[19:13] Mu
    Fire!
[19:38] Y
    Mutsuki-chan!
[19:52] Mu
    Fubuki-chan! Torpedoes!
[19:54] Mu
    "Shoot true, never miss!"
[20:00] F
    Believe in yourself...
[20:03] F
    Please, hit!
[20:17] J
    Now, everyone!
[20:23] Se
    Fire!
[20:36] Mu
    We did it!
[20:40] Se
    Don't let your guard down!
[20:41] Se
    The enemy is still...
[20:51] Se
    Type 3 shells?
[20:52] Se
    From beyond the horizon?
[20:55] N
    They made it in time, huh?
[21:04] Hi
    All gunports, fire!
[21:15] F
    Wow...
[21:16] J
    That's right. I knew it!
[21:19] J
    That's the Second Fleet,
    they were out on an expedition!
[21:22] Y
    I see, so they came back to this area.
[21:26] Ku
    Look, kuma!
[21:28] Ku
    The enemy is retreating, kuma!
[21:41] Ki
    I'm glad... It's okay now.
[21:48] Ki
    Oh no... my hair will get messed up.
[22:02] Mu
    Just wait, Kisaragi-chan!
[22:25] Ki
    Don't forget...
[22:27] Ki
    ...about Kisaragi...
[22:45] T
    I heard you got the gold star!
[22:47] T
    Well done, Fubuki!
[22:49] I
    Wow!
[22:51] K
    Khorosho!
[22:54] F
    It's thanks to all of you!
[22:55] F
    Thank you so much!
[22:58] ---
    You really are amazing!
[23:00] F
    Thank you!
[23:01] M
    Is Torpedo Squadron Four not back yet?
[23:05] T
    No, not yet.
[23:07] M
    Okay!
[23:10] F
    Mutsuki-chan, where are you going?
[23:12] M
    The cape!
[23:13] M
    I want to be the first one to welcome
    Kisaragi-chan and the others back!
[23:18] F
    Wait, I'll go, too!
[23:20] M
    And I'm going to say,
    "I love you. Thank you!"
[23:24] M
    I'm sure she'll be surprised at first.
[23:29] M
    But, I'm sure after that, she'll blush,
[23:32] M
    and then smile!
[23:40] T
    You won't tell them?

    It's not certain yet.
[23:45] J

[23:50] T
    Sometimes that's the crueler
     thing to do, though.
[23:55] N
    Admiral, I have a report.
[23:59] N
    Today at 1542,
[24:02] N
    56 kilometers off the coast of W Island,
[24:05] N
    the destroyer Kisaragi was badly damaged,
[24:09] N
    and set on fire by an enemy bomber.
[24:12] N
    The other members of her
    squad searched for her,
[24:15] N
    but they decided there was no hope,
[24:17] N
    and gave up the search 11 minutes ago.
[24:23] N
    She has sunk.
