**[00:01] ---**
Yoshika Miyafuji, heading out!
**[00:07] ---**
Go for it, Miyafuji!
**[00:13] ---**
Yes! I'm flying!
**[00:15] ---**
Looking good, Miyafuji!
**[00:23] ---**
I guess I'm still not tough enough.
**[00:26] ---**
I don't think it's a matter
of you being tough.
**[00:29] ---**
But Sakamoto told me that you can solve
most of these problems by running.
**[00:34] ---**
I'll go for a run!
**[00:36] ---**
I'll join you!
**[02:11] ---**
"Episode 5:
Queen of Nederland"
**[02:20] ---**
Why won't my magical pressure stabilize?
**[02:23] ---**
I'm not good for anything like this.
**[02:28] ---**
It's so cold!
**[02:30] ---**
What's wrong, Miyafuji?
**[02:33] ---**
Did that cool your jets a little?
**[02:35] ---**
That's so mean, Perrine!
**[02:37] ---**
You're working yourself too hard.
**[02:38] ---**
Are you willing to let yourself collapse
before you fix your magical pressure?
**[02:45] ---**
Come with me.
**[02:54] ---**
Where are we going, Perrine?
**[02:56] ---**
Nederland.
**[02:58] ---**
The cyclamen and clematis
are supposed to be in bloom.
**[03:02] ---**
I could use some clematis for my medicines.
**[03:04] ---**
Um, Officer Clostermann.
**[03:07] ---**
Did we ask for leave just to go see flowers?
**[03:10] ---**
That's part of it,
**[03:11] ---**
but I was also summoned by
the Queen of Nederland.
**[03:15] ---**
The queen?
**[03:21] ---**
Preparations for Operation Southwind
are still running behind.
**[03:24] ---**
I'm worried.
**[03:26] ---**
Supplies to the front lines
are taking too long to arrive.
**[03:29] ---**
So I have a request for you.
**[03:31] ---**
For me?
**[03:32] ---**
This operation is going to need more help
from the nations of Europe than ever.
**[03:37] ---**
Especially those with port cities.
**[03:39] ---**
So I want you to go speak with the people
of Nederland and their royal family.
**[03:44] ---**
What do you want me to say?
**[03:46] ---**
The royal family has just
asked for help from a witch.
**[03:50] ---**
The royal family?
**[03:52] ---**
Will you help?
**[03:55] ---**
Then can I take Miyafuji?
**[04:00] ---**
The palace is in Den Haag, though.
**[04:02] ---**
They've come close to the border
to help maintain morale.
**[04:06] ---**
There it is.
**[04:08] ---**
That's the Kasteel de Haar.
**[04:15] ---**
It's beautiful.
**[04:16] ---**
It really is.
**[04:17] ---**
Could I get a few to make
medicines and herbal tea?
**[04:24] ---**
Those are some big birds.
**[04:26] ---**
No, those are witches.
**[04:28] ---**
So we'll finally be able
to make them bloom...
**[04:36] ---**
There're chandeliers!
**[04:38] ---**
What a palace...
**[04:42] ---**
Blue tulips?
**[04:44] ---**
Is that impressive?
**[04:46] ---**
Blue tulips weren't supposed to exist.
**[04:50] ---**
So these are the legendary tulips?
**[04:56] ---**
That's the symbol of our country.
The Queen of Nederland.
**[05:01] ---**
Your highness!
**[05:03] ---**
Welcome.
**[05:07] ---**
The Queen of Nederland.
**[05:09] ---**
It was our nation's pride and joy,
beloved by all our citizens.
**[05:13] ---**
And those're the blue tulips?
**[05:16] ---**
Yes.
**[05:17] ---**
They first bloomed 20
years ago in this palace,
**[05:20] ---**
and gradually grew in number.
**[05:22] ---**
But the Neuroi destroyed the greenhouses.
**[05:26] ---**
The bulbs we managed to get out
safely haven't bloomed.
**[05:31] ---**
We've recovered our homes,
**[05:34] ---**
but our people have still lost hope.
**[05:38] ---**
And to get it back, we need
the Queen of Nederland.
**[05:43] ---**
Let's do it, Perrine!
**[05:45] ---**
Miyafuji...
**[05:46] ---**
But why us witches?
**[05:49] ---**
The first time these flowers bloomed,
a witch was there to help.
**[05:54] ---**
Please, help us once more.
**[05:56] ---**
No, please don't bow to us!
**[05:59] ---**
We'll do everything we can!
**[06:03] ---**
We've been waiting for you.
**[06:05] ---**
The queen told us everything.
**[06:08] ---**
Now, cast your magic on the queen!
**[06:11] ---**
I'm not sure what kind of magic you mean...
**[06:13] ---**
Should I try some healing magic?
**[06:16] ---**
With your magical pressure unstable,
is that safe?
**[06:20] ---**
What are you waiting for?
**[06:24] ---**
Very well.
**[06:26] ---**
I'll do it.
**[06:28] ---**
You'll do it?
**[06:30] ---**
You can do it, Perrine!
**[06:37] ---**
Please, bloom.
**[06:56] ---**
It fell.
**[06:57] ---**
Why?
**[06:58] ---**
I told you. You can't count on witches.
**[07:02] ---**
Their magic had nothing to do with it, huh?
**[07:04] ---**
I'm so disappointed.
**[07:06] ---**
You girls shouldn't think that you can do
anything just because you're witches.
**[07:10] ---**
Leave!
**[07:12] ---**
We have an important mission:
recovering Berlin from the Neuroi.
**[07:17] ---**
We shouldn't even be here!
**[07:20] ---**
--Then--
--But the queen asked us for our help.
**[07:24] ---**
So we'll make the flower
bloom no matter what.
**[07:25] ---**
Witches always keep their promises.
**[07:29] ---**
What matters in this room is experience.
**[07:32] ---**
An amateur can't do anything.
**[07:34] ---**
It's a waste of time. Leave.
**[07:37] ---**
It's not like you ever
managed to make it bloom.
**[07:40] ---**
What?
**[07:41] ---**
What do you mean, "what"?
**[07:43] ---**
What do you mean, "what do you mean, 'what'"?
**[07:44] ---**
What do you mean, "what do
you mean, 'what do you mean'"?
**[07:47] ---**
But even after all I said, where do we start?
**[07:51] ---**
What did the last witch do?
**[07:54] ---**
Shouldn't we start there?
**[08:00] ---**
It's late.
**[08:01] ---**
Let's start tomorrow.
**[08:11] ---**
Good morning.
**[08:13] ---**
What? You're still here?
**[08:16] ---**
What are you doing out here this early?
**[08:18] ---**
We need to get ready for next year
before the frost falls.
**[08:23] ---**
I'll help you!
**[08:29] ---**
She's putting her hips into it.
**[08:33] ---**
We used to farm yams back home.
**[08:40] ---**
I wondered where she was...
**[08:43] ---**
That's just like her.
**[08:45] ---**
I'll go help, too.
**[08:47] ---**
That's not part of our mission...
**[08:50] ---**
I'll help, too!
**[08:51] ---**
You there! Help, too.
**[08:54] ---**
If you can't even prep a field there's
no way you can make a queen bloom.
**[08:59] ---**
Fine!
**[09:03] ---**
What's with that weak swing?
**[09:05] ---**
The witch that used to help us
wasn't like that at all!
**[09:09] ---**
I'll surpass that witch, whoever she is,
with just another few hours of practice.
**[09:14] ---**
Well, you talk big at least.
**[09:15] ---**
Get to hoeing, then.
**[09:17] ---**
It's crazy to try and plow a field
this big without any heavy machinery.
**[09:21] ---**
We've got heavy machinery.
**[09:26] ---**
This is...
**[09:27] ---**
Well, it's a heavy machine, yes, but...
**[09:30] ---**
It used to belong to the army.
**[09:32] ---**
But nobody can make it move.
**[09:35] ---**
Oh, fine...
**[09:42] ---**
This is great.
**[09:44] ---**
Why am I doing this?
**[09:46] ---**
Okay, Shizuka!
**[09:47] ---**
Let's get to work, too.
**[09:50] ---**
We don't have time for this, do we?
**[09:57] ---**
That's a lot further than we
expected to get today.
**[09:59] ---**
It's all thanks to you.
**[10:01] ---**
It's nice to have young help!
**[10:05] ---**
Okay, that's all for today.
**[10:07] ---**
Let's eat!
**[10:08] ---**
Okay!
**[10:12] ---**
This is great!
**[10:14] ---**
Fuso miso soup, huh?
**[10:16] ---**
It really warms the bones...
**[10:18] ---**
If I were just 50 years younger
I'd ask you to marry me.
**[10:24] ---**
It's okay, I guess.
**[10:27] ---**
Now then...
**[10:29] ---**
Where are you going?
**[10:31] ---**
The greenhouses.
**[10:34] ---**
It's gotten cold,
so we need to light the boiler.
**[10:38] ---**
It's hard to keep the temperature
right for the queens.
**[10:41] ---**
At this time of year, you need to keep it
right at 20 degrees at night or they'll wilt.
**[10:46] ---**
Twenty degrees?
**[10:48] ---**
If it works, they should bloom
at dawn in two days.
**[10:52] ---**
I hope they bloom this year...
**[10:55] ---**
Okay, get back to your rooms.
**[10:58] ---**
But...
**[10:59] ---**
We take turns sleeping.
**[11:02] ---**
So leave this to us.
**[11:04] ---**
Dawn in two days...
**[11:11] ---**
No, the temperature's dropping.
**[11:15] ---**
Blasted old thing...
**[11:25] ---**
Oh, no!
**[11:39] ---**
What was that sound?
**[11:41] ---**
It was like an explosion?
**[11:43] ---**
Over there!
**[11:45] ---**
That's the...
**[11:46] ---**
The direction of the greenhouse!
**[11:56] ---**
Are you okay?
**[11:58] ---**
I just hurt my back a bit...
**[12:00] ---**
What's important now is the temperature!
**[12:01] ---**
Don't let it drop!
**[12:03] ---**
It's gotten below 15 in the room!
**[12:05] ---**
The boiler's not responding, either.
**[12:07] ---**
It really blew.
**[12:08] ---**
We need to raise the temperature fast.
**[12:10] ---**
The queens are starting to wilt.
**[12:12] ---**
But with the boiler broken...
**[12:14] ---**
It's going to take a while to repair it.
**[12:17] ---**
Is there nothing we can do?
**[12:19] ---**
Can't we use that heavy machinery?
**[12:21] ---**
The Sherman?
**[12:22] ---**
That's impossible for us.
**[12:25] ---**
I know what we could use!
**[12:30] ---**
We can use this to power the boiler?
**[12:32] ---**
This is a striker unit, right?
**[12:34] ---**
I've never seen anything like this.
**[12:37] ---**
This is a Gallian Nouveauport.
**[12:39] ---**
It's about 30 years old.
**[12:42] ---**
A Nederland witch once used this.
**[12:46] ---**
But it was eventually obsolete,
so we made it into a back-up boiler.
**[12:50] ---**
Will you help us, ma'am?
**[12:53] ---**
Oh, fine.
**[12:55] ---**
I'll do it!
**[12:56] ---**
But your magic pressure...
**[12:58] ---**
If I can't fight, I at least want
to be useful at a time like this!
**[13:02] ---**
Miyafuji...
**[13:04] ---**
Let's let her do it.
**[13:06] ---**
Thank you, Perrine!
**[13:21] ---**
It started!
**[13:26] ---**
That's just right!
**[13:29] ---**
It's up to 20 degrees!
**[13:30] ---**
Okay, keep her stable!
**[13:33] ---**
Okay!
**[13:34] ---**
Stable... stable... stable...
**[13:38] ---**
...23... 24...
**[13:40] ---**
It's gotten too high!
**[13:43] ---**
If it's too high, that means
the pressure's too high.
**[13:47] ---**
But how do I adjust it?
**[13:49] ---**
This is bad...
**[13:51] ---**
Twenty! Keep it at 20!
**[13:53] ---**
Twenty degrees...
**[13:55] ---**
How many degrees is that?
**[13:56] ---**
Miyafuji, 20 degrees is
the temperature of that shower!
**[14:00] ---**
Remember!
**[14:01] ---**
Shower!
**[14:03] ---**
It's cold!
**[14:05] ---**
That temperature!
**[14:06] ---**
Got it!
**[14:11] ---**
Focus... focus...
**[14:14] ---**
Focus...
**[14:16] ---**
The temperature... of that shower...
**[14:25] ---**
It stopped going up...
**[14:27] ---**
You did it, Miyafuji!
**[14:30] ---**
Okay, just keep focusing...
**[14:35] ---**
It's stabilized.
**[14:38] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:49] ---**
Oh, no! We fell asleep!
**[14:50] ---**
Where are the queens?
**[14:53] ---**
They survived!
**[14:56] ---**
We can count on them blooming, I bet!
**[14:59] ---**
They survived the night.
**[15:01] ---**
It's thanks to you.
**[15:04] ---**
Thank you.
**[15:07] ---**
You're welcome.
**[15:08] ---**
We'll be fine until night.
**[15:14] ---**
You really kept it going
the whole night, huh?
**[15:17] ---**
We brought you breakfast.
**[15:20] ---**
Thank you...
**[15:27] ---**
Good work.
**[15:40] ---**
Okay, time to work till morning again!
**[15:43] ---**
They'll bloom, right?
**[15:45] ---**
Theoretically, yes.
**[15:48] ---**
But every year, something is missing.
**[15:52] ---**
What it is...
**[15:57] ---**
If we work hard, they'll bloom!
**[16:04] ---**
It's finally time.
**[16:09] ---**
Just a little more.
**[16:10] ---**
Yup!
**[16:11] ---**
Perrine, this sandwich is great!
**[16:15] ---**
Anybody can make a sandwich!
**[16:19] ---**
I'll get some water!
**[16:26] ---**
Huh? It's not moving!
**[16:37] ---**
It moved!
**[16:44] ---**
Neuroi?
**[16:50] ---**
Where is it going?
**[16:54] ---**
The greenhouse!
**[17:12] ---**
Get back!
**[17:13] ---**
Officer Clostermann!
**[17:32] ---**
Neuroi!
**[17:33] ---**
That's a Neuroi!
**[17:34] ---**
It's heading for us!
**[17:35] ---**
Get out of here!
**[17:38] ---**
But the tulips...
**[17:39] ---**
My shield won't hold...
**[17:45] ---**
It was hiding in the soil...
**[17:47] ---**
What a rude Neuroi.
**[17:50] ---**
It needs to be punished!
**[17:59] ---**
It's using them as a shield?
**[18:02] ---**
This is the last one left...
**[18:04] ---**
It's almost dawn, too!
**[18:12] ---**
Miyafuji!
**[18:13] ---**
Take care of him, Shizuka!
**[18:15] ---**
Roger!
**[18:24] ---**
The evacuation's complete!
**[18:27] ---**
You're going to pay for that.
**[18:29] ---**
Tonnerre!
**[18:34] ---**
Did that get it?
**[18:43] ---**
It flew!
**[18:52] ---**
It's so fast!
**[18:55] ---**
How dare you...
**[18:57] ---**
How dare you hurt those tulips?
**[19:06] ---**
Concentrate. Concentrate.
**[19:09] ---**
Stabilize your magic pressure...
**[19:17] ---**
Miyafuji?
**[19:23] ---**
Miyafuji?
**[19:26] ---**
Take this!
**[19:32] ---**
That's enough!
**[19:34] ---**
Tonnerre!
**[19:49] ---**
We did it!
**[20:13] ---**
Everybody! The queen!
**[20:25] ---**
So this is the legendary...
**[20:27] ---**
...blue tulip...
**[20:28] ---**
It's beautiful...
**[20:30] ---**
But why?
**[20:32] ---**
It had some kind of lightning around it...
**[20:37] ---**
I get it... What it lacked was the lightning!
**[20:41] ---**
Lightning?
**[20:43] ---**
My Tonnerre?
**[20:44] ---**
Tonnerre?
**[20:46] ---**
A special type of lightning magic
unique to the Clostermanns.
**[20:50] ---**
Clostermann?
**[20:52] ---**
I think the first witch to make these bloom
was Penelope Clostermann.
**[20:59] ---**
My grandmother?
**[21:01] ---**
That's my grandmother.
**[21:09] ---**
Now the people will remember the time
when their lives were at peace,
**[21:13] ---**
and regain hope.
**[21:15] ---**
On their behalf, I thank you.
**[21:19] ---**
No, it's thanks to all of you!
**[21:27] ---**
They gave me a whole bunch of herbs.
**[21:30] ---**
I'm sure they're great herbs,
**[21:31] ---**
but the most important part of our trip
was that you're able to fly again.
**[21:36] ---**
Who would've thought that keeping
the temperature steady in the greenhouse
**[21:39] ---**
would help you learn to control
your magic pressure?
**[21:41] ---**
It's because Perrine made the shower cold!
**[21:45] ---**
Is that sarcasm?
**[21:51] ---**
"To Be Continued"
**[23:25] ---**
Hartmann, clean your damn room!
**[23:29] ---**
I'm just making sure I'm ready for anything!
**[23:32] ---**
No excuses! We're getting to work now!
**[23:34] ---**
Next time on Strike Witches,
"Hounds of Vengeance."
**[23:38] ---**
"Episode 6:
Hounds of Vengeance"
**[23:39] ---**
Just ten more minutes...
**[23:41] ---**
**[23:43] ---**
