SIGN    Unified Year 1923, Imperial Army Northern Garrison
[00:01] Tanya
    It was a few days after the wounds
    from my first battle had healed.
SIGN    Military Commander's Office
[00:07] Officer
    Second Lieutenant Degurechaff,
    here are your deployment orders.
[00:10] Tanya
    Thank you.
[00:11] Tanya
    Just don't send me to the front lines...
[00:16] Tanya
    The Tactical Instructor Squad back home?
[00:19] Officer
    Only someone accomplished
    enough to earn the Silver Wings
[00:22] Officer
    could be assigned to an instruction
    unit at your age.
[00:25] Tanya
    That's exactly what I wanted!
[00:28] Tanya
    But I can't make my happiness too obvious.
[00:31] Tanya
    This is an honor, but...
[00:33] Officer
    You are dissatisfied?
[00:35] Officer
    If you have a problem with it,
    I can pass it on.
[00:38] Tanya
    No!
[00:39] Tanya
    I am grateful for this incredible honor.
[00:42] Tanya
    But this is a position at the rear,
    where it could be said not much is done.
[00:47] Officer
    Don't worry about it.
[00:49] Officer
    Even if you are an ace,
    deploying you to the front lines
[00:53] Officer
    would be bad for appearances.
[00:56] Tanya
    I guess that settles it, then.
[00:59] Tanya
    Deployment orders received.
[01:01] Tanya
    This is wonderful!
[01:03] Tanya
    Safe, rear-echelon deployments...
    How I love you!

[01:07] Officer
    Very well.
[01:08] Officer
    Then head to the General Supply Staff.
[01:13] Tanya
    Is this for technology testing?
[01:16] Officer
    Yes, they need you to test
    a new type of computation jewel.
[01:21] Tanya
    It's true that testing new equipment falls
    under the instruction unit's duties...

[01:27] Tanya
    May I ask about this new jewel?
[01:32] Officer
    Unfortunately, all I've been
    told that it's a prototype.
[01:37] Tanya
    I understand.
[01:38] Tanya
    Thank you...
[01:39] Tanya
    ...kidding me?!
[01:46] Tanya
    You can't be serious!
[01:47] Tanya
    How is this a safe, rear-echelon deployment?!
SIGN    Cruscos Army Aerial Unit Testing Grounds
[03:29] Radio
    Second Lieutenant Degurechaff,
    are you conscious?
[03:32] Radio
    Second Lieutenant!
[03:34] Tanya
    Oxygen density and body temperature
    are dropping fast.
[03:38] Tanya
    At this rate, I won't last long.
SIGN    Episode 3 Deus Vult
[03:45] Scientist
    Elenium Type-95?
[03:47] Scientist
    By synchronizing four computation jewel cores,
[03:50] Scientist
    this prototype grants revolutionary abilities.
[03:53] Scientist
    It uses tremendous magical energy,
[03:55] Scientist
    but with the amount you have,
    that shouldn't be a problem.
[03:58] Tanya
    There are all kinds of problems!
[04:00] Tanya
    These crystals aren't stable at all.
[04:02] Tanya
    If this keeps up, they'll explode again!
[04:03] Tanya
    If this keeps up, they'll explode again!
[04:05] Radio
    Roger.
[04:07] Radio
    We'll bring this experiment to an—
[04:10] Doctor
    Second Lieutenant! Can't you go any higher?!
[04:13] ---
    Doctor?!
[04:15] Doctor
    Theoretically, you should be able
    to reach 18,000 meters!
SIGN    Imperial Military Technology
    Development Chief Engineer Adelheid von Schugel
[04:19] Tanya
    A standard computation jewel's
    maximum altitude is 6,000!
[04:22] Doctor
    The load is within acceptable parameters!
[04:24] Tanya
    Those are theoretical numbers!
[04:26] Tanya
    For use as military-grade items,
    keep durability in mind!
[04:30] Doctor
    What are you talking about?
[04:31] Doctor
    That would ruin the jewel's
    optimized synchronization!
[04:35] Tanya
    I don't know when this defective
    junk will explode!
[04:38] Doctor
    Defective junk?
[04:40] Doctor
    You called my masterpiece "defective junk"?
[04:43] Doctor
    Take that back now!
[04:44] Doctor
    Take that back now!
[04:50] Tanya
    Even if the Empire is a meritocracy,
[04:52] Tanya
    what's a guy like him doing
    as a chief engineer?!
[04:56] Doctor
    T-Temperature of jewel cores is rising.
[04:59] Tanya
    I'm cutting the magic supply
[05:01] Tanya
    and emergency purging
    the jewel's magical energy!
[05:09] Radio
    Engine has shut down.
[05:11] Radio
    Motive power lost.
[05:13] Tanya
    At least there won't be a
    disaster like last time...
[05:22] Tanya
    I am done with this crap!
[05:24] Tanya
    This thing's as defective as
    an Italian Red Devil!
[05:30] Doctor
    Second Lieutenant Degurechaff...
[05:33] Doctor
    Again? We're doing this again?!
[05:35] Tanya
    That's my question.
[05:38] Tanya
    If the safety hadn't worked, pieces of me
    would be raining down on the base!
[05:42] Doctor
    Wait!
[05:43] Doctor
    ,Where's your report?
[05:44] Tanya
    Talk to me about it later.
    I'm going to the medical room.
[05:46] Doctor
    It's because you're failing to
    concentrate hard enough.
[05:49] Doctor
    ,And you call yourself a soldier?
[05:51] Tanya
    A soldier's job is to use weapons,
[05:54] Tanya
    not spend her time trying to
    get defective junk to work!
[05:57] Doctor
    ,Y-You called it "defective junk" again?
[05:59] Doctor
    ,Didn't she?
[05:59] Scientist
    ,Y-Yes.
[06:00] Doctor
    ,Take that back...
[06:02] Doctor
    ,For this time and the last time, too!
[06:05] Tanya
    The thing's way too fragile.
[06:07] Tanya
    It'd be more at home in an art museum!
[06:09] Doctor
    ,Why?!
[06:10] Doctor
    ,Why don't you understand how revolutionary
    the four-way synchronization is?
[06:13] Tanya
    I'll admit that it's revolutionary.
[06:16] Tanya
    That's why I want you to make
    something that works!
[06:19] Doctor
    ,Theoretically, it works!
[06:21] Doctor
    ,So why can't you get it work properly?
[06:26] Tanya
    They say a thin line separates
    genius and madness.
[06:30] Tanya
    But I didn't think talking to him
    would be impossible.
[06:33] Tanya
    Doctor, anything that can
    go wrong, will go wrong.
[06:40] Tanya
    That's a famous law.
[06:41] Doctor
    ,That's idiotic!
[06:42] Doctor
    ,Who said something so stupid?!
[06:44] Tanya
    If you live a long life, you'll understand!
[06:49] Tanya
    With the way this is going, I'm doomed!
[06:53] Tanya
    I'm better off on the damn front lines!

[07:06] Officer
    ,So, what do we do?
[07:08] Officer
    ,Do we accept it?
[07:11] Officer
    ,I actually have a daughter about her age.
[07:25] Tanya
    "The brass have decided that the Type-95 is
    unreliable and unsuitable for general use.
[07:30] Tanya
    Additional funding has been frozen,
    and the project has been, de facto, canceled."
[07:40] Tanya
    Yeah, nothing beats being proactive.
[07:44] Tanya
    Only incompetents cling to the metaphysical.
[07:49] Tanya
    In a few days, I'll be on the fast track
    in the Imperial capital, coffee in hand.
[08:08] Being X
    This is a serious problem.
[08:11] Being X
    ,You haven't developed even
    the tiniest bit of faith.
[08:14] Tanya
    B-Being X...
[08:17] Being X
    ,Indeed.
[08:20] Tanya
    It's rare to have such an unpleasant reunion.
[08:23] Tanya
    Ten years have passed,
    and you're still just as unreasonable.
[08:27] Being X
    ,It seems you've not grown at all, either.
[08:30] Tanya
    Unfortunately, I'm not desperate
    enough to rely on "God."
[08:35] Being X
    ,Your attitude is as unacceptable as ever.
[08:38] Being X
    ,I'd intended to limit my interference
    to a minimum,
[08:42] Being X
    ,but foolish little lambs need
    to be shown the way.
[08:46] Tanya
    Don't worry about me...
[08:48] Tanya
    I'm not the type to stay fenced in.
[08:52] Being X
    ,Why will you not praise the Creator?s
[08:55] Being X
    ,Long ago, merely speaking to them
    sufficed to make humans worship God.
[08:58] Being X
    ,Sometimes, humanity even called to me.
[09:02] Tanya
    And so, I should pray to some
    traditionally hand-crafted knick-knack?
[09:06] Tanya
    You're kidding me.
[09:09] Being X
    ,Perhaps I should give you a blessing.
[09:13] Tanya
    A blessing?
[09:17] Being X
    ,A miracle.
[09:18] Tanya
    Gonna part the seas or something?
[09:22] Tanya
    Or change water into wine?
[09:25] Tanya
    Miracles are illusions caused by
    insufficient observation and understanding.
[09:29] Tanya
    They're just...
[09:35] Tanya
    glorious misunderstandings.
[09:41] Being X
    ,I don't know about that.
[09:51] Tanya
    A dream?
[10:04] Tanya
    "Deus lo vult."
[10:07] Tanya
    "God wills it"?

    Can we seriously not?

    ,An experiment with magical-energy

    ,transformation and affixation,
    via multilayer interference.
[10:30] Doctor
    ,Since the project's canceled,
[10:32] Doctor
    ,I'll obviously do the experiments
    I'd been putting off, right?
[10:35] Tanya
    If you fail, it could blow up
    the whole proving grounds.
[10:39] Doctor
    ,The march of progress always has victims.
[10:43] Doctor
    ,Of course, it won't be only you.
    I won't move from this spot.
[10:47] Tanya
    To be honest, I'd prefer if you found
    another use for your passion.
[10:51] Doctor
    ,A scientist must be loyal
    to his research, right?
[10:56] Tanya
    I'm a soldier, not a scientist.
[10:58] Doctor
    ,Then I should give you an order.
[11:02] Doctor
    ,Lieutenant, are you ready?

    Lieutenant,
[11:40] Doctor
    no need to worry.
[11:41] Doctor
    Our success is assured.
[11:45] Tanya
    Doctor...
[11:46] Tanya
    Where are you getting that confidence?
[11:48] Doctor
    It's simple.
[11:51] Doctor
    Last night, I received divine inspiration.
[11:54] Doctor
    I heard God's voice, and an idea came
    to me by divine inspiration.
[11:58] Doctor
    The god of inventions revealed himself.
[12:01] Tanya
    Doctor, I thought you were an atheist.
[12:04] Doctor
    I'm a devout believer now.
[12:07] Doctor
    Haven't you also met God, Lieutenant?
[12:11] Doctor
    If we pray to God, he will grant our wishes!
[12:15] Doctor
    Otherwise, we both become martyrs here!
[12:20] Doctor
    Irregularity in energy coefficients.
    They're going out of control.
[12:22] Tanya
    I'm purging the magical energy.
[12:24] Scientist
    No!
[12:25] Scientist
    That will disrupt synchronization
    and destroy the jewel!
[12:28] Tanya
    Damn it!
[12:28] Tanya
    The safety...
[12:31] Tanya
    It's not working?
[12:33] Tanya
    Is this...

    This is a good opportunity, right?

    Let us both pray to God!

    You set me up, Being X!
[13:07] Being X
    I have blessed your computation jewel
[13:10] Being X
    and performed a miracle.
[13:12] Tanya
    A miracle?
[13:13] Tanya
    You call strapping a bomb to me a miracle?!
[13:17] Being X
    Now, you must pray to God
[13:19] Being X
    each time you use your computation jewel.
[13:24] Being X
    And eventually, your heart
    will be filled with faith.
[13:29] Tanya
    Th-That's cheating.
[13:32] Tanya
    You vile piece of shit!
[13:34] Being X
    Go now,
[13:36] Being X
    and spread the name of God.
[13:48] Tanya
    God's miracles are great.
[13:51] Tanya
    Praise the Lord
[13:53] Tanya
    and his worthy name.
[14:20] Tanya
    What did I...
[14:22] Tanya
    Did I just pray?
[14:24] Tanya
    To that thing?!
[14:25] Scientist
    The cores' synchronization stabilized.
[14:27] Scientist
    Magical energy successfully affixed
    to spatial coordinates!
[14:30] Scientist
    I never thought it would actually work.
[14:39] Tanya
    If you just look at the results,
    this thing is amazing...
[14:43] Tanya
    It's amazing,
[14:45] Tanya
    but it's cursed!

    We did it! We did it!

    It worked!

[15:21] Tanya
    First, that unreasonable reincarnation,
[15:23] Tanya
    and now this curse.
[15:25] Tanya
    But I have to use it to survive
    on the front lines...

    What a dilemma.

    L-Lieutenant, is there a problem?
[15:37] Tanya
    No!

    Focus on your work.
[15:40] Visha
    R-Right.
[15:41] Visha
    But the main unit from
    the nation's center has gathered.
[15:45] Visha
    I don't know if we need
    further reinforcements.
[15:47] Tanya
    What did you say?

    As the documents you see state...
[16:07] Erich
    After Second Lieutenant Degurechaff's
    first battle with the Entente Alliance,
[16:10] Erich
    she received the Silver Wings Assault Badge.
[16:12] Erich
    After contributing to development
    of a new computation jewel,
[16:15] Erich
    changes in the military situation led to her
    emergency deployment to the Rhine theater.
[16:20] Officer
    While in the Rhine theater, she wiped out
    an entire enemy mage company on her own...
[16:24] Officer
    And she's still carrying out
    assault missions there?
[16:29] Officer
    She's the ideal soldier.
[16:32] Officer
    Why do you call her a monster?
[16:36] Erich
    I won't deny that she is a talented mage.
[16:40] Erich
    But her personality is extremely unusual.
[16:44] Officer
    Is this about the training school incident?
[16:47] Officer
    Keeping rebellious new recruits in line
    is part of an officer's job.
[16:52] Erich
    She is the only one presently capable
    of using that computation jewel.
[16:57] Erich
    I believe that indicates latent danger, too.
[17:01] Officers
    You aren't mistaken, Lieutenant Colonel?
[17:02] Officers
    She's still ten.
[17:03] Officers
    She's just a kid.
[17:06] Officer
    Lieutenant Colonel Rerugen,
[17:08] Officer
    I'm told that you are very good at your job.
[17:12] Officer
    Your transfer from Personnel to
    Operations was, in part,
[17:15] Officer
    due to your wide range of knowledge.
[17:19] Erich
    You overestimate me, but thank you.
[17:21] Officer
    And because of that,
[17:24] Officer
    I want to respect your opinion
    as much as possible, but...
[17:27] Officer
    We have already decided what to do
    with Second Lieutenant Degurechaff!
[17:39] Visha
    I want to sleep in a comfy bed.
[17:42] Visha
    I want to take a shower.
[17:43] Visha
    I want to eat apple pie,
    even if it's from a can...
[17:48] Visha
    J-Just kidding!
[17:50] Visha
    I have no dissatisfaction with our mission!
[17:52] Tanya
    Just a few months ago, you were so
    new to this, you could barely fly.
[17:56] Tanya
    And now look at you.
[18:00] Visha
    This isn't good.
[18:04] Visha
    I hope I don't end up like Kurst and Harald...
[18:10] Visha
    I spoke to Lieutenant Schwarzkopf and
    recommended you for an officer track.
[18:17] Visha
    I'm going to be an officer?
[18:19] Tanya
    If you don't want to leave the muddy
    and bloody front lines, I won't force you.
[18:24] Visha
    No, no, no, no, no!
[18:25] Visha
    That's not it!
[18:27] Visha
    It just seems too good to be true.
[18:29] Visha
    I'm not sure how to handle it...
[18:32] Tanya
    Head back to the capital
    as soon as you're ready.
[18:37] Visha
    Lieutenant, um...
[18:38] Tanya
    What?
[18:39] Visha
    My new deployment area won't
    be blown up by artillery, right?

    God is real, huh?

    "Second Lieutenant Degurechaff,
    you are hereby promoted to First Lieutenant
[19:06] Tanya
    and are to attend the military academy."
[19:08] Tanya
    This is the second time I can remember
    that I've been to university...
[19:13] Tanya
    I'll get a nice easy job studying at the rear!

    Looks like your ride isn't here yet.

    Lieutenant Schwarzkopf!
[19:24] Schwarzkopf
    You're always so cold.
    You won't even let me see you off?
[19:28] Tanya
    I'm sorry.
[19:29] Tanya
    I didn't feel right about leaving
    the unit and returning to the capital.
[19:32] Tanya
    Is that why you recommended
    Corporal Serebryakov for officer training?
[19:37] Tanya
    She worked directly under me, after all.
[19:40] Tanya
    She's already left.
[19:43] Tanya
    And this makes me look like a superior
    officer who cares for her troops.
[19:48] Schwarzkopf
    I want to thank you again.
[19:51] Schwarzkopf
    Your hard work and new computation jewel
    have really helped us.
[19:55] Tanya
    No, thank you, Lieutenant.
[19:58] Tanya
    Unfortunately, I won't have much chance
    to use this thing at the academy.
[20:03] Schwarzkopf
    Either way, I wish you luck.
[20:07] Schwarzkopf
    God is always with us.
[20:09] Tanya
    W-With u-us!
[20:18] Officer A
    What's the situation in the Rhine theater?
[20:21] Officer B
    Still a stalemate.
[20:23] Officer B
    The main unit made it there.
[20:26] Officer B
    But our pre-war plans are proving useless.
[20:29] Officer A
    So our main force is lacking
    in mobility and adaptability?
[20:35] Officer B
    Our current task is to establish a powerful
    unit that can adapt to any situation.
[20:49] Tanya
    Warm food and an easy life
    await me in the capital...
[20:58] Tanya
    If I can get on the rails
    at the military academy,
[21:01] Tanya
    my future is as good as made.
[21:08] Officer
    A new rapid-response unit, huh?
[21:15] Tanya
    I was worried for a while.
[21:26] Tanya
    But now I feel kind of bad for Being X.
[23:14] Tanya
    A farewell gift?
[23:15] Visha
    Y-Yes, you've done so much for me.
[23:20] Visha
    And so, I wanted to thank you.
[23:22] Tanya
    Looking at it, it's obvious that it won't fit.
[23:26] Visha
    It won't?
[23:27] Visha
    But you're a growing girl.
[23:30] Visha
    It'll fit you soon!
