[00:26] ---
    Miyafuji Yoshika has joined
    the 501st Joint Fighter Wing,

[00:30] ---
    commonly known as the "Strike Witches."
[00:32] ---
    She spent day after day training with
    Lynette Bishop, another new recruit.

[00:38] ---
    However, for some reason, Lynette
    wouldn't open up to Miyafuji.

[00:42] ---
    This was because she thought she was useless,
[00:46] ---
    but with Miyafuji's help,
    she won her first battle.

[00:48] ---
    And thus Miyafuji made another new friend!

    Chris!
[03:17] ---
    Why am I dreaming about that now?
[03:24] ---
    "Episode 4: Thanks"
[03:29] ---
    Hey, Yoshika! Did you hear?
[03:31] ---
    The Kauhava base went into
    action to find a lost child!
[03:35] ---
    Really?! We even do that sort of thing?!
[03:38] ---
    That's incredible!
[03:39] ---
    Yeah! All just for one kid!
[03:43] ---
    But I guess if we can't help
    people one at a time like that,
[03:47] ---
    then we can't possibly help everyone, huh?
[03:50] ---
    That's true!
[03:51] ---
    Helping everyone...
[03:54] ---
    That's nothing but a pipe dream.
[03:57] ---
    Huh? What did you say?
[03:59] ---
    Sorry. Just talking to myself.
[04:03] ---
    Morning...
[04:04] ---
    Good morning!
[04:06] ---
    What is this?!
[04:13] ---
    What's wrong, Trude? Why the long face?
[04:16] ---
    You don't seem to have an appetite, either.
[04:18] ---
    That's not true!
[04:20] ---
    You usually never skimp on eating,
[04:23] ---
    but you haven't even touched your food...
[04:31] ---
    What's wrong?
[04:33] ---
    Oh, it felt like someone was watching...
[04:37] ---
    Who?
[04:39] ---
    Must've been my imagination!
[04:41] ---
    Seconds!
[04:43] ---
    Coming!
[04:46] ---
    U-Umm, was it not to your liking?
[04:56] ---
    Hurry with my seconds!
[04:58] ---
    Oh, right! Just a minute!
[05:00] ---
    It's not only Captain Barkhorn;
[05:03] ---
    I doubt anyone would find these
    rotten beans edible at all!
[05:08] ---
    Natto is good for you,
[05:10] ---
    and even Ms. Sakamoto said she likes it!
[05:12] ---
    "Ms." Sakamoto?! Call her "Major"!
[05:16] ---
    Not even I'm... on such friendly terms...
[05:21] ---
    At any rate, regardless of how
    much the major may like it,
[05:24] ---
    I absolutely cannot put up with this stench!
[05:28] ---
    Thirds!
[05:30] ---
    Oh, right!
[05:38] ---
    Wow! Amazing!
[05:43] ---
    It's Captain Barkhorn
    and Lieutenant Hartmann!
[05:53] ---
    She's out of sync...
[05:55] ---
    Yes, she keeps falling behind...
[05:58] ---
    Barkhorn's a perfectionist.
    This isn't like her.
[06:01] ---
    Maybe we should take her off the next shift?
[06:04] ---
    Having an ace you can't rely
    on is kind of distressing.
[06:07] ---
    Yes. Even though we can count on others now,
[06:10] ---
    they lack firepower.
[06:12] ---
    Did she overexert herself
    and make herself sick?
[06:15] ---
    I think something has been bothering her...
[06:19] ---
    Ever since Miyafuji arrived.
[06:21] ---
    Miyafuji?
[06:22] ---
    Yes.
[06:26] ---
    Should we try pairing them up?
[06:36] ---
    You...!
[06:38] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[06:43] ---
    Use this to...!
[06:44] ---
    No, thank you!
[06:47] ---
    Honestly, now! You can't
    focus on anything whatsoever!
[06:58] ---
    U-Umm...
[07:01] ---
    Hold on, Miyafuji!
[07:03] ---
    Listen when people are talking to you!
[07:13] ---
    Why is this all coming back now...?
[07:20] ---
    We've taken care of her external injuries,
[07:21] ---
    but she must've had quite a shock.
[07:24] ---
    She shows no signs of
    regaining consciousness.
[07:27] ---
    I see...
[07:29] ---
    This town is going to fall soon, too.
[07:32] ---
    Your sister and I will be on
    the next ship to Britannia.
[07:37] ---
    Is that really all right with you?
[07:39] ---
    Yes. Thank you.
[07:44] ---
    Chris...
[07:47] ---
    Trude...
[07:54] ---
    Where could Yoshika be?
[07:57] ---
    Sorry! I'm late!
[08:00] ---
    What happened? I was worried!
[08:03] ---
    Sorry! This place is so big
    that it's tough to clean!
[08:07] ---
    Okay! I'll help you now!
[08:11] ---
    Say...
[08:11] ---
    Yes?
[08:13] ---
    Do you think Barkhorn hates me?
[08:17] ---
    Huh? What makes you think that?
[08:19] ---
    Oh, I somehow get the feeling
    that she's avoiding me...
[08:23] ---
    It's your imagination.
[08:25] ---
    Captain Barkhorn acts that way with everyone.
[08:31] ---
    Well, not with the commander
    or Lieutenant Hartmann, though.
[08:35] ---
    Huh?
[08:35] ---
    I heard the three of them have been
    together ever since the fighting started.
[08:40] ---
    Oh?
[08:43] ---
    According to the strategy room's report,
[08:44] ---
    we're scheduled to have a
    sortie the day after tomorrow.
[08:47] ---
    So please relax today and
    restore your spirits, everyone!
[08:52] ---
    Oh, Miyafuji and Lyn, you
    have training after this.
[08:57] ---
    Yes, ma'am! Understood!
[09:03] ---
    My! How ill-mannered...!
[09:06] ---
    Huh?
[09:07] ---
    Yoshika!
[09:08] ---
    You're supposed to drink
    tea without making a sound!
[09:24] ---
    Urgh... Why does Major Sakamoto
    favor that girl so much?

[09:49] ---
    What will it be this time?
[09:51] ---
    Do the same as usual with it.
[09:53] ---
    You should really keep at least some on hand.
[09:56] ---
    Except for food, clothing, and
    shelter expenses, I don't need any.
[10:04] ---
    Miyafuji!
[10:05] ---
    Yes?
[10:06] ---
    Come here for a moment!
[10:10] ---
    Lyn. Mina just gave me a pay packet,
[10:14] ---
    but I was surprised because
    I didn't expect to get paid!
[10:19] ---
    That's just like you, Yoshika!
[10:21] ---
    By the way, how much is one pound worth?
[10:26] ---
    If I remember, the Fuso Empire uses...
[10:28] ---
    It uses yen.
[10:30] ---
    Let me think... The latest rate was...
[10:33] ---
    One pound is currently worth 19.6 yen.
[10:36] ---
    I-I didn't know you were here, Ms. Sakamoto!
[10:40] ---
    Yes. The fact that you didn't notice
    means you lack attentiveness.
[10:44] ---
    Yeah...
[10:46] ---
    19.6 yen is about enough
    to buy a bag of rice...
[10:51] ---
    So 10 pounds is 4,000 bowls of rice!
[10:54] ---
    Oh, is that so?
[10:57] ---
    Make sure you use it carefully.
[10:59] ---
    That was only half a month's pay, by the way.
[11:02] ---
    Huh?! Why do we earn so much, Ms. Sakamoto?!
[11:07] ---
    Well, we are constantly
    standing on the front lines.
[11:11] ---
    With that comes the danger of
    possibly dying on any given day.
[11:15] ---
    So...
[11:17] ---
    So...?
[11:19] ---
    So the hope is we won't
    have any regrets later on;
[11:21] ---
    or at the very least, we won't
    have to worry about money.
[11:25] ---
    I can't believe they're
    in the same bathtub...

[11:27] ---
    She doesn't deserve such an honor!
[11:36] ---
    If that's what the money is for,
[11:38] ---
    then I don't want it.
[11:40] ---
    I'm grateful for it, though. Now
    I can send money to my family.
[11:45] ---
    You send it?
[11:46] ---
    I have lots of siblings, you see...
[11:49] ---
    Oh! Maybe I should send money
    to my mom and grandma, too!
[11:59] ---
    Miyafuji! Do you not have any tact at all?!
[12:05] ---
    I've had enough of your antics today!
[12:09] ---
    You serve rotten beans for breakfast!
[12:11] ---
    You hit me in the face with a mop!
[12:13] ---
    You slurp as you drink your tea!
[12:15] ---
    And on top of all that, you
    go and bathe with the major?!
[12:18] ---
    You little raccoon dog!
[12:21] ---
    Little raccoon dog?!
[12:22] ---
    That's right!
[12:23] ---
    If you don't like it, then
    how does "mongrel" sound?!
[12:26] ---
    That's mean!
[12:27] ---
    What gives you the right
    to talk to me that way?!
[12:30] ---
    A bumpkin like you, acting so
    friendly with the major...!
[12:33] ---
    Bumpkin? I come from the same
    country as Ms. Sakamoto, you know.
[12:37] ---
    How many times do I have to
    tell you?! Call her "Major"!
[12:41] ---
    I call her "Ms." because she told me to!
[12:46] ---
    Okay, that's enough!
[12:48] ---
    Fighting is strictly forbidden!
[12:50] ---
    Do it again, and your punishment...
[12:54] ---
    ...will be a week of toilet-cleaning duty!
[12:58] ---
    Now what do you say?
[13:00] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[13:02] ---
    Good! Then you're dismissed!
[13:05] ---
    Mom, Grandma...
[13:08] ---
    I've joined the Witches,
    but it's hard being here.

[13:12] ---
    Lyn is a good friend to me,
[13:14] ---
    but there are still lots of people
    I don't get along with well.

[13:18] ---
    I need... to try... even... harder...
[13:30] ---
    What's wrong? Your lights aren't even on...
[13:34] ---
    Were you thinking about your sister?
[13:39] ---
    That wasn't your fault.
[13:41] ---
    No, Chris wouldn't have been caught up in it
[13:46] ---
    if I'd been able to attack
    the Neurois sooner.
[13:49] ---
    You slowed the enemy's invasion
[13:51] ---
    and gave the citizens time to evacuate!
[13:53] ---
    It's a fact that I couldn't
    protect my country!
[13:56] ---
    You aren't alone when it comes to that.
[14:00] ---
    Sorry.
[14:01] ---
    I know! You have plenty
    of leave time saved up!
[14:04] ---
    Why not take some time off for a while?
[14:07] ---
    You haven't gone to visit her, right?
[14:09] ---
    There's no need!
[14:11] ---
    I've given this life to the Witches.
[14:14] ---
    The sister that Chris knew died on that day.
[14:17] ---
    Please let me participate
    in the next operation!
[14:36] ---
    Today we will be conducting
    formation flying exercises.
[14:39] ---
    Lyn, you will be my second.
[14:41] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[14:42] ---
    Miyafuji, you will be Barkhorn's second.
[14:46] ---
    Miyafuji! Where's your response?!
[14:48] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[14:51] ---
    You seconds will simply follow your leaders.
[14:54] ---
    Don't watch anything else.
[14:55] ---
    If there's a change of course, then follow.
[14:58] ---
    If orders to fire are given, then shoot.
[15:00] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[15:01] ---
    The leaders will give precise
    instructions to the seconds
[15:04] ---
    while constantly keeping an eye on the enemy.
[15:07] ---
    So follow along without worry!
[15:08] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[15:10] ---
    This pair formation is called a Rotte,
[15:13] ---
    and two Rottes is a Schwarm, or a "flight."
[15:16] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[15:17] ---
    For this exercise, my team will flee
    and Barkhorn's team will pursue!
[15:23] ---
    What's wrong, Barkhorn?
[15:25] ---
    Do you not read me?
[15:26] ---
    I'm fine. Go on ahead.
[15:29] ---
    All right, Lyn! Follow me!
[15:31] ---
    Here we go, new girl.
[15:33] ---
    Right!
[15:36] ---
    That little raccoon dog!
[15:39] ---
    Huh? What?
[15:43] ---
    Enemy attack!
[15:45] ---
    You can't be serious!
[15:46] ---
    The enemy?!
[15:49] ---
    It's a Neuroi! Grid East
    07, altitude of 15,000!
[15:55] ---
    They've been breaking from their
    usual attack cycle lately.
[15:59] ---
    They've apparently been active in Karlsland,
[16:02] ---
    but I don't know the details...
[16:04] ---
    Karlsland?!
[16:05] ---
    What's wrong?
[16:06] ---
    No, it's nothing...
[16:09] ---
    All right, change of formation!
[16:12] ---
    Perrine will be Barkhorn's second,
[16:15] ---
    and Miyafuji will come with me.
[16:17] ---
    Again?!
[16:25] ---
    Enemy sighted!
[16:27] ---
    Barkhorn team! Charge!
[16:29] ---
    Roger!
[16:30] ---
    Major! Cover them!
[16:31] ---
    Roger! Follow me, Miyafuji!
[16:35] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[16:46] ---
    Why can't I keep up...?!
[16:51] ---
    That little raccoon dog, fighting
    alongside Major Sakamoto!
[16:56] ---
    Something is wrong!
[16:57] ---
    Huh?
[16:58] ---
    I mean Barkhorn!
[16:59] ---
    She always keeps her second
    in her field of vision!
[17:03] ---
    But she's going off all by herself today!
[17:08] ---
    Aim there!
[17:10] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[17:16] ---
    You're staying too close, Barkhorn!
[17:32] ---
    Captain!
[17:34] ---
    Barkhorn!
[17:39] ---
    Damn you!
[17:45] ---
    Captain!
[17:51] ---
    It's my fault! What do we do?!
[17:53] ---
    She's bleeding badly!
[17:55] ---
    We can't move her. It'll only make it worse.
[17:58] ---
    I'll have to tend to her here!
[17:59] ---
    Please! Help her!
[18:08] ---
    Stay calm. Easy does it... Concentrate...
[18:19] ---
    You have that kind of power?!
[18:25] ---
    I'm going to heal you now!
[18:27] ---
    It's dangerous for you
    two to stay here with me!
[18:32] ---
    Get away from here.
[18:33] ---
    Just forget about me.
[18:35] ---
    Use your powers on the enemy...!
[18:38] ---
    No! I will save you!
[18:41] ---
    We're on the same team!
[18:42] ---
    Beat the enemy...
[18:44] ---
    I don't care if my life
    is sacrificed doing that!
[18:48] ---
    You can protect many more people
    than I can if you live through this!
[18:55] ---
    I can't. I can't protect everyone...
[19:00] ---
    I can't even protect one person...
[19:04] ---
    Just go. Forget about me.
[19:08] ---
    Maybe we can't protect everyone!
[19:11] ---
    But I can't just abandon someone who's hurt!
[19:15] ---
    I want to protect as many people as I can.
[19:17] ---
    Even if it's just one more person!
[19:22] ---
    Hurry! I can't hold on much longer!
[19:26] ---
    Just a little more... Just a little more...!
[19:29] ---
    This should...!
[19:40] ---
    Chris...
[19:42] ---
    My power... Even if it's
    just one more person...

[19:45] ---
    This time, I will protect people!
[19:49] ---
    The core!
[19:50] ---
    Bark... horn...
[20:25] ---
    Mina!
[20:27] ---
    What were you thinking?!
[20:29] ---
    What would we have done if we lost you, too?!
[20:33] ---
    We may have lost our homelands
    and everything else,
[20:35] ---
    but we're a team!
[20:37] ---
    No, we're family!
[20:38] ---
    Everyone in this unit is!
[20:43] ---
    I'm sure your sister Chris
    will get better, too!
[20:46] ---
    So don't be in a hurry to die!
    For her and your new comrades!
[20:53] ---
    We Witches are the only ones
    who can protect everyone!
[20:58] ---
    Sorry. I forgot that we're a family...
[21:04] ---
    Can I...
[21:07] ---
    Can I have some time off?
[21:09] ---
    I think I'll go visit her.
[21:13] ---
    Looks like she's finally feeling up to it.
[21:22] ---
    I didn't manage to do anything in the end.
[21:24] ---
    That's not true.
[21:26] ---
    I don't know...
[21:34] ---
    Thanks.
[21:37] ---
    I just wanted to thank you. But that's all.
[21:41] ---
    Okay!
[21:42] ---
    Miyafuji! I hear you saved Trude?!
[21:46] ---
    Trude?
[21:48] ---
    She means Captain Barkhorn.
[21:50] ---
    No, I'm the one who was saved...
[21:54] ---
    Thanks so much!
[21:57] ---
    They're back!
[22:13] ---
    Welcome back!
[22:24] ---
    Barkhorn! Your ride is here!
[22:28] ---
    Okay! I'll be right there!
[22:35] ---
    I'll need to thank her sometime...
[22:46] ---
    "To Be Continued"
[22:46] ---
    Thanks.
