*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.
