[00:01] ---
    Barkhorn and the others defeated
    the Neuroi around Hamburg,
[00:05] ---
    so the route to Kiel is clear.
[00:08] ---
    The operation to take back Kiel
    by the Western Theater forces
[00:11] ---
    is about to begin, right?
[00:13] ---
    At this rate, maybe we'll be having
    the Saturnus Festival in Berlin!
[00:17] ---
    We shouldn't be thinking
    that far ahead, Eila.
[00:20] ---
    I know.
[00:22] ---
    We need to get Kiel back, right?
[00:27] ---
    It's gotten foggy.
[00:29] ---
    The fog is thick.
[00:33] ---
    Eila!
[00:34] ---
    Neuroi?
[00:35] ---
    Ahead of us. Distance: 500!
[00:44] ---
    Him, huh?
[00:47] ---
    It's running.
[00:48] ---
    Let's follow it.
[00:50] ---
    Oh, no!
[00:54] ---
    Jerk!
[00:57] ---
    Damn it! I can't see
    anything with this fog.
[00:59] ---
    Where'd it go?
[01:00] ---
    It's not in detection range.
[01:02] ---
    It seems to have fled.
[01:04] ---
    Did this fog come from that Neuroi?
[01:08] ---
    Seems like it.
[02:41] ---
    "Episode 8:
    The Fog"
[02:45] ---
    Neuroi around Kiel, too?
[02:47] ---
    Yes. They seem to have
    the ability to create thick fog.
[02:51] ---
    I'm sorry, they escaped.
[02:55] ---
    I thought it would be easy
    to get Kiel back, but...
[02:59] ---
    Understood. I'll tell HQ immediately.
[03:03] ---
    Thank you.
[03:06] ---
    Miyafuji?
[03:08] ---
    A letter for Eila?
[03:10] ---
    Yes. But I can't find her anywhere.
[03:15] ---
    Fine. I'll help you look.
[03:17] ---
    Thank you.
[03:19] ---
    By the way, was this tree always here?
[03:23] ---
    Oh, that's for the Saturnus Festival.
[03:26] ---
    Saturnus Festival?
[03:28] ---
    It's a winter festival, right?
[03:30] ---
    They cover it with
    decorations and celebrate,
[03:34] ---
    so that everyone can
    have a happy new year.
[03:40] ---
    Oh, Sanya!
[03:43] ---
    Sanya!
[03:45] ---
    Do you know where Eila is?
[03:48] ---
    We're looking for her and can't find her.
[03:51] ---
    Eila?
[03:54] ---
    This way, I think.
[03:57] ---
    I think she's here.
[04:00] ---
    This is Yeager and Lucchini's room.
[04:05] ---
    Come in!
[04:07] ---
    Excuse us.
[04:10] ---
    That's her.
[04:11] ---
    Oh, Sanya!
[04:12] ---
    Wow.
[04:13] ---
    Did you know she was here, Sanya?
[04:15] ---
    No. I just guessed.
[04:18] ---
    You have a letter, Officer Juutilainen!
[04:20] ---
    It's from Nipa.
[04:22] ---
    What's that, Eila?
[04:25] ---
    This? It's called a himmeli.
[04:27] ---
    It's a good-luck charm in Suomis.
[04:31] ---
    That's a neat shape!
[04:33] ---
    It's almost time for the
    Saturnus Festival, right?
[04:35] ---
    I'm making a lot of them
    to help decorate the tree.
[04:38] ---
    And there's all the tools
    she needs here, so...
[04:42] ---
    What do you think, Sanya?
[04:45] ---
    It's cute.
[04:48] ---
    We will now have an emergency meeting.
[04:50] ---
    Everyone to the briefing room.
[04:52] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[04:57] ---
    You're aware that the western theater forces
    will be launching an attempt
[05:00] ---
    to recover Kiel port, right?
[05:02] ---
    They're launching a pinpoint air attack
    on the cannon emplacement Neuroi, right?
[05:07] ---
    That was the plan,
    but look at this recon photo.
[05:11] ---
    What's that? It's pure white.
[05:13] ---
    This is Kiel right now.
[05:15] ---
    It's covered in thick fog, and you can't see
    further than five meters, even in the day.
[05:19] ---
    Could it be...?
[05:20] ---
    The Neuroi we saw?
[05:22] ---
    Yes. We can't launch a
    pinpoint attack like this...
[05:26] ---
    So the attack's called off?
[05:27] ---
    No. The brass wants Kiel back no matter
    what, for the assault on Berlin.
[05:33] ---
    So in two days they'll be
    launching a saturation strike.
[05:38] ---
    A saturation strike?
[05:39] ---
    If they do that...
[05:41] ---
    It will do serious damage
    to Kiel's port facilities.
[05:44] ---
    Wait!
[05:46] ---
    What about Operation Southwind?
[05:48] ---
    And the attack on Berlin?
[05:50] ---
    We'll have to wait for
    the port to be rebuilt.
[05:52] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
[05:53] ---
    Calm down, Trude.
[05:55] ---
    Are you okay with this, Hartmann?
[05:57] ---
    Of course not.
[05:58] ---
    This is the brass's orders.
[06:03] ---
    So Barkhorn, Yeager, Hartmann,
[06:07] ---
    Clostermann, Lucchini, and Lynette,
[06:10] ---
    you'll be joining the
    bombers as an escort.
[06:14] ---
    Get ready.
[06:16] ---
    You'll be leaving for a
    Britannia airport at 1400.
[06:19] ---
    Then you'll be standing by at the airport.
[06:21] ---
    Roger!
[06:27] ---
    Are you really okay with this, Mina?
[06:28] ---
    Of course not.
[06:30] ---
    But it's the army's decision.
[06:32] ---
    We don't have a choice.
[06:33] ---
    But even if we get Kiel back,
    if we lose the port...
[06:37] ---
    Operation Southwind will
    be postponed past spring.
[06:41] ---
    And when that happens,
    both you and I will be 20!
[06:44] ---
    The limit of our magic power
    could come at any time--
[06:46] ---
    I know that!
[06:48] ---
    I want to take Berlin back
    with my own hands.
[06:52] ---
    But it's an order.
[06:53] ---
    There's no other way!
[06:57] ---
    I'm sorry. You're right.
[06:59] ---
    If we had more time...
[07:05] ---
    I hope the god of Saturnus gives us time...
[07:18] ---
    Oh, Sanya?
[07:19] ---
    What do you think?
[07:26] ---
    Sanya?
[07:34] ---
    All we can do is wait.
[07:37] ---
    Yeah.
[07:38] ---
    Can we talk, everyone?
[07:42] ---
    You want to defeat the Neuroi
    creating the fog yourself?
[07:46] ---
    Yes.
[07:47] ---
    Eila and I saw it here.
[07:50] ---
    And Kiel is here.
[07:52] ---
    Given the radius of
    the fog, the Neuroi is...
[07:55] ---
    Somewhere in a 20-kilometer
    radius around Kiel.
[07:59] ---
    So we'll get close enough
[08:01] ---
    to use my wide-area detection
    to track down its location...
[08:07] ---
    And we can find it!
[08:09] ---
    But the fog's so thick
    you can't see each other.
[08:12] ---
    Don't worry. We'll start training.
[08:18] ---
    You won't be able to see
    a thing inside the clouds.
[08:21] ---
    So I want you to practice maintaining
    this arrowhead formation
[08:25] ---
    by recognizing the engine sounds
    and magic power of your wingmates.
[08:29] ---
    Shizuka, are you there?
[08:30] ---
    Yes. I'm here!
[08:32] ---
    Okay, turn to two o'clock!
[08:34] ---
    Two! Roger!
[08:37] ---
    What are you doing?
[08:39] ---
    I can tell where Sanya
    is to the millimeter.
[08:43] ---
    Sorry!
[08:44] ---
    I'm embarrassed!
[08:46] ---
    Let's try again.
[08:48] ---
    The two of you are too close.
[08:50] ---
    Both of you get 0.8 apart.
[08:52] ---
    O-Okay.
[08:55] ---
    Now get closer, 0.2 again.
[08:58] ---
    Okay!
[09:00] ---
    Oww!
[09:05] ---
    Target at 11 o'clock!
[09:08] ---
    Three, two, one!
[09:11] ---
    Fire!
[09:16] ---
    Only Eila hit?
[09:18] ---
    You're amazing, Officer Juutilainen.
[09:20] ---
    Sanya's magic is perfect.
[09:23] ---
    Do what she says and you'll never miss.
[09:26] ---
    Well, Sanya?
[09:27] ---
    With this...
[09:28] ---
    Yeah, I think we can do it.
[09:31] ---
    "The Next Day"
[09:34] ---
    We'll make this work, Wing Leader Mina.
[09:37] ---
    You're not too tired?
[09:39] ---
    Don't take any dumb risks, okay?
[09:41] ---
    Yeah. I'm fine.
[09:47] ---
    Miyafuji, how's your magic power?
[09:49] ---
    I have plenty left. Don't worry.
[09:52] ---
    There's the fog.
[09:54] ---
    Stay in formation, everybody.
[10:00] ---
    I really can't see a thing!
[10:04] ---
    We're going in deeper.
[10:05] ---
    One o'clock.
[10:06] ---
    Roger!
[10:18] ---
    Are you tired, Sanya?
[10:20] ---
    I'm fine.
[10:23] ---
    Twelve o' clock.
[10:24] ---
    Distance 2,000!
[10:25] ---
    Signal detected!
[10:26] ---
    Neuroi?
[10:27] ---
    Wow! I can't see a thing!
[10:29] ---
    Way to go, Sanya!
[10:30] ---
    Let's get closer quietly.
[10:32] ---
    Don't shoot until I say it's safe!
[10:35] ---
    Roger!
[10:38] ---
    One thousand, left...
[10:41] ---
    ...500!
[10:50] ---
    Sanya, watch out!
[10:53] ---
    Eila?
[10:55] ---
    Huh?
[10:56] ---
    Officer Juutilainen!
[10:57] ---
    Eila, what are you doing?
[11:05] ---
    We're out of formation?
[11:06] ---
    What do we do, Officer Litvyak?!
[11:08] ---
    Don't shoot! You'll hit your allies!
[11:11] ---
    Everyone, fall back!
[11:12] ---
    Roger.
[11:15] ---
    That was close.
[11:17] ---
    An enemy you can't see is rough.
[11:19] ---
    Eila, why did you fire?
[11:22] ---
    You shot off in a random
    direction without my okay,
[11:24] ---
    and that's why we failed!
[11:26] ---
    Wait!
[11:27] ---
    You were about to be shot!
[11:29] ---
    Shot? By what?
[11:31] ---
    The Neuroi!
[11:33] ---
    It was over there!
[11:34] ---
    You saw that?
[11:35] ---
    I didn't see it, but I felt it!
[11:37] ---
    I didn't feel anything!
[11:39] ---
    There was nothing there!
[11:42] ---
    No, it was there!
[11:46] ---
    Eila, you won't believe me?
[11:49] ---
    And you won't believe me?
[12:01] ---
    What's her problem?
[12:05] ---
    We failed.
[12:06] ---
    I'm sorry.
[12:08] ---
    No, you did well.
[12:10] ---
    Thanks. Get some rest.
[12:13] ---
    The Neuroi also took my...
[12:17] ---
    No, please.
[12:19] ---
    Let me try again.
[12:20] ---
    There's still time before morning.
[12:22] ---
    No, it'll be dangerous if you're
    caught up in the saturation strike.
[12:26] ---
    This time we'll make it work.
[12:30] ---
    I'll get rid of the uncertain element.
[12:45] ---
    So?
[12:46] ---
    So you know, Sanya and I, uh...
    things got weird back there.
[12:52] ---
    So...
[12:54] ---
    So you got in a fight
    and you want to make up?
[12:57] ---
    Don't just come out and say it!
    It's embarrassing!
[13:01] ---
    It's your fault for firing
    against her orders!
[13:07] ---
    You!
[13:10] ---
    Above average.
[13:13] ---
    Above average...
[13:15] ---
    I know what I felt.
[13:17] ---
    There was something.
[13:19] ---
    But orders are absolute.
[13:22] ---
    You won't believe me, either?
[13:25] ---
    I believe you!
[13:27] ---
    Your intuition is usually right!
[13:30] ---
    Miyafuji, you...
[13:35] ---
    That didn't help at all.
[13:43] ---
    I know! The himmeli!
[14:03] ---
    You're going again?
[14:04] ---
    Yes.
[14:05] ---
    Okay. I'll go, too.
[14:07] ---
    Eila.
[14:09] ---
    You stay here.
[14:11] ---
    Why?
[14:13] ---
    Mina and the others don't have time.
[14:15] ---
    What do you mean?
[14:17] ---
    We can't fail this time.
[14:20] ---
    So I can't take you.
[14:23] ---
    Sanya...
[14:25] ---
    I'm sorry.
[14:30] ---
    Huh? Where's Eila?
[14:32] ---
    I took her off the mission.
[14:35] ---
    Why?
[14:37] ---
    She defied orders.
[14:39] ---
    It's her own fault.
[14:41] ---
    But...
[14:42] ---
    Let's go. It's time.
[14:47] ---
    Maintain Delta formation.
[14:50] ---
    Roger.
[14:51] ---
    Roger...
[14:55] ---
    Oh, jeez!
[15:00] ---
    Initiating search.
[15:01] ---
    Eleven o'clock.
[15:05] ---
    It's done.
[15:08] ---
    I need to put it up now that I made it.
[15:14] ---
    Eila, what are you doing?
[15:17] ---
    Putting this up.
[15:19] ---
    I was taken off the mission,
    so I don't have anything to do.
[15:23] ---
    You're worried about them, aren't you?
[15:26] ---
    Sanya's strong.
[15:28] ---
    I'm not worried.
[15:31] ---
    Hey, Commander Mina.
[15:33] ---
    Do you not have time or something?
[15:37] ---
    Sanya was saying something about that.
[15:39] ---
    She was?
[15:42] ---
    I see.
[15:44] ---
    Sanya lost her homeland, too.
[15:47] ---
    So she knows how we feel.
[15:52] ---
    We want to take back Berlin
    while we're still witches.
[15:56] ---
    She's a kind girl, so she thinks of this
    like it's her own problem, I think.
[16:02] ---
    If she'd just told me...
[16:07] ---
    She wanted you to understand, I bet.
[16:15] ---
    Sanya...
[16:32] ---
    I didn't feel anything!
[16:34] ---
    There was nothing there!
[16:37] ---
    If there was an enemy her
    wide-area detection couldn't see...
[16:40] ---
    What's wrong?
[16:41] ---
    Sanya's in danger! I have to go!
[16:43] ---
    Eila!
[16:46] ---
    We've flown a long way.
[16:48] ---
    It's not around here.
[16:52] ---
    It's right in front of us!
[16:53] ---
    Quietly approach and then launch
    an all-out attack on my command.
[17:01] ---
    Now!
[17:07] ---
    We did it! We did it!
[17:18] ---
    It came back!
[17:20] ---
    Then that's...
[17:22] ---
    A drone?
[17:23] ---
    Then it's got a controller somewhere?
[17:31] ---
    That's...
[17:33] ---
    The Neuroi controller?
[17:41] ---
    No! I couldn't detect it at all! Why?
[17:45] ---
    We have to fight it!
[17:48] ---
    Miyafuji!
[17:49] ---
    Yoshika, your magic?
[17:51] ---
    I-I'm sorry...
[17:53] ---
    It's too dangerous to try
    and fight two Neuroi like this.
[17:56] ---
    Let's retreat.
[17:57] ---
    Roger.
[18:05] ---
    It got ahead of us!
[18:10] ---
    Our shots went through!
[18:11] ---
    No!
[18:14] ---
    I finally understand.
[18:15] ---
    My detection waves
    will slide right through it.
[18:19] ---
    I was detecting the smaller unit.
[18:23] ---
    But Eila felt this one!
[18:31] ---
    Eila!
[18:39] ---
    --Eila!
    --Eila!
[18:42] ---
    I made it!
[18:44] ---
    Eila, I...
[18:46] ---
    We can talk later!
[18:47] ---
    For now, let's handle it!
[18:50] ---
    You won't get away!
[18:51] ---
    Eila!
[18:53] ---
    Shizuka, let's take the other one!
[18:55] ---
    Roger!
[19:00] ---
    So that's the core?
[19:01] ---
    We can't take that out the normal way.
[19:03] ---
    So...
[19:07] ---
    Eila, where are you?
[19:12] ---
    There!
[19:17] ---
    Gotcha!
[19:21] ---
    Sanya!
[19:25] ---
    Eila!
[19:26] ---
    You can tell where I am, right?
[19:29] ---
    Shoot at me!
[19:32] ---
    What are you saying? I can't do that!
[19:34] ---
    Believe in me! Shoot!
[19:43] ---
    Take this!
[19:52] ---
    Eila!
[19:57] ---
    It self-destructed!
[19:58] ---
    No! They took out its controller!
[20:01] ---
    Eila! Eila!
[20:04] ---
    Sanya!
[20:08] ---
    Sanya!
[20:11] ---
    Eila...
[20:13] ---
    We did it, Sanya.
[20:15] ---
    Yeah.
[20:22] ---
    We're almost to Kiel.
[20:25] ---
    Look, everyone!
[20:27] ---
    The fog!
[20:28] ---
    It disappeared!
[20:29] ---
    Change of plans.
[20:31] ---
    We will now launch a precision strike
    on the Neuroi cannon emplacements.
[20:34] ---
    Witches, continue your escort.
[20:37] ---
    Trude, did you hear that?
[20:38] ---
    Yeah! Roger!
[20:43] ---
    I just got word.
[20:44] ---
    Kiel was taken back unharmed.
[20:47] ---
    Thank you, Sanya.
[20:54] ---
    We got Kiel back unharmed!
[20:57] ---
    That's the best present imaginable!
[20:59] ---
    Now we can finally take back Berlin!
[21:01] ---
    Yeah.
[21:03] ---
    It's another good

    A present?
[21:13] ---
    L-Look at that himmeli!
[21:17] ---
    Which one?
[21:18] ---
    H-Huh?

    I made the one on the far right.
[21:24] ---
    I made the one on the left.
[21:26] ---
    Then the one next to mine is...
[21:30] ---
    I made it.
[21:32] ---
    As a present for you.
[21:34] ---
