I was upset at the fact that Guin and Milady Kihel sent Sochie out to fight.
As a result, I didn't even care who this new enemy that appeared was.
However, I did come to understand just how powerful the White Doll is.
The Visit To a Grave
l don't understand this...
Milady...
Milady, please...
I configured this device to recognize your voice.
You simply need to ask for whatever item you wish to read up on.
I don't even know what those things would be, so it's of no use to me.
I'm not of the Moonrace.
That has nothing to do with it...
I was saved by one of them.
I never wanted that!
I'm sorry...
Don't apologize!
They won't simply give up and return to the moon easily, will they.
Either they don't want to...
...or they're unable to.
There are probably several different factors.
Regardless...
Master Guin Rhineford, allow me to make a request.
What is it?
l want to borrow Miss Kihel Heim from you.
Borrow? That's a strange thing to ask...
...Ambassador Miran.
Ahh, there you are, Loran! Sit it down to hide the White Doll beneath the tree line.
It looks like something scraped it.
Did the Milita's mechanics arrive here yet?
Thank you very much, Mr. Sid, Mr. Joseph.
It's because of the sword of light in the shoulders...
...that we were able to make it out of there alive.
Sword of light?
It's amazing. It cut right through the enemy's metallic baton.
That's what Mr. Ladderum was saying.
This manual mentions that it's called a "Beam Saber".
That thing's called a "computer notebook", correct?
Do you know about it?
Well, I am a scholar of the Dark History after all.
We should make a copy of that unit's image and print it for the others. Then we'll make our way back to the excavation site.
I've already asked Guin for more man power.
There are differences in what's written on both sides.
But you only use one side.
Look, it's the same image on the other side, only reversed due to the projection.
So the technology of the moon works like this, Loran?
Yeah, you could say that.
What about it?
Nothing. We're lucky that the Militia has a person like you.
This "Computer"... I want to see everything that's within it.
Consider this the continuation of our party.
After you.
Welcome. Pardon me for calling you on such short notice.
It's an honor to be invited here.
I am Kihel Heim.
I have arrived here, just as you requested.
You're both so polite and obedient that it's almost unnerving for me.
Please, make yourself comfortable.
Yes, Queen Dianna.
Yes, this is Sochie-
What's wrong, Jessica?
Lady Sochie, the Madame has been...
Mother? What's wrong?
She's keeps going on and on about how lonely she feels... I feel the same way.
Lady Sochie...
Please get Lady Kihel and return and visit us at once!
Is your mother not doing well?
Well, Jessica asked me to visit and cheer them up.
I see.
I wonder if Sam has built a good tomb stone for my father yet...
I'm terribly embarrassed.
From the looks of it, none of my orders reached the forces who arrived on Earth ahead of me.
With all of your military's advanced technology...
...I can't believe there'd be so much miscommunication over orders.
The sights of Earth's marvelous beauty overwhealmed many of us.
A lack of proper communications only contributed to that trance like state.
As long as you personally have peaceful intentions...
I believe that the current situation can still be changed.
You can expect no less from us, Master Guin Rhineford.
Why would you have an airship land at this castle?
l am using it to investigate the damaged caused by the fighting.
And for the sake of helping the victims.
I see.
Will it be flying soon?
Queen Dianna?
It, in fact, will be. Would you like to accompany us on the observations?
The view from the airship is a beautiful and breath-taking sight to behold.
Beautiful and breath-taking scenery.
l've not yet had the chance to survey such beauty.
Nor the damage from this war.
I don't like it.
Surveying the damage is necessary...
And I have always wanted to fly in an airship.
In that case, I'll prepare the ship for your welcome.
That is, if you would find it permissible, Sir Miran.
I prefer it if you'd allow our forces to escort the ship.
If that is what you wish.
Miss Kihel, as I prepare things...
...please stay here with Dianna.
Of course.
Then I will have Lieutenant Harry prepare to lead the guard.
Very well.
In the meantime, why don't we converse over a cup of tea?
Are you left handed?
No. I am like a mirror before you.
My My, Queen Dianna.
The two of us look exactly the same.
I must admit, I'd noticed the exact same thing.
Have the Kapool dig the left leg out from there.
Those working on the right, help those on the left.
Here's the cash we promised.
It should be enough for you to buy the building.
Thank you, Sir.
I never expected your discovery to be so impressive.
That's right, it is pretty large.
Will you help us operate this?
What?
No. I want to use this money to expand my bakery.
Indeed. I guess I'll order the plane mechanics inspect and learn to operate it.
I suppose so.
Still, you'll be fine.
It should have a manual with it.
Loran... Fran...
I'm going to become a great baker!
I've always wanted to wear a dress like this.
What do you think?
I'm not quite sure how you'd feel about it, but since we'll be riding the airship soon...
It may be better to dress casually.
Really...
Well, then these designs may be a bit simpler.
But what color would be more suitable?
Hmm... well, Miss Kihel...
...can I have you model this for me?
You mean me?
What do you think?
Miss Kihel...
Could I have you try on my outfit as well?
You want me to wear your gown, Queen Dianna?
That's right, please do.
Sure.
That's the last piece.
Could you please turn around for me?
I see...
...so that's what I look like from behind.
You HAVE seen yourself in pictures, right?
But that's not quite like seeing the real thing.
I'm relieved to finally see it for myself.
Miran, let us continue surveying the sights. Please accompany me.
That was great, Miss Kihel.
Queen Dianna...She must have been very lonely.
What is it?
It's Ambassador Miran. I'm here to pick up Her Majesty.
You may enter.
Queen Dianna?
From this point on...
...Kihel will be Dianna Soriel....
And I will be Kihel Heim.
What should we do if someone discovers the truth?
If that happens, then we'll apologize to them for it.
Queen Dianna, Ambassador Miran is here.
My my, Queen Dianna...
Dianna Counter's mechanical dolls will escort the ship for us.
Issue the command that nobody is to fire upon them.
Will it be okay to fly to Vicinity?
There route won't have anything more than a few wrecked long ranged artillery remnants.
Mr. Guin, someone is here to see you.
Who is it?
Loran Cehack and Sochie Heim.
Laura and the lady, you say?
Allow them in.
Half of the castle is to be made serviceable for the Queen.
Are our arrangements proceeding as planned?
So, what is it?
This is Mr. Sid's report, and also...
And also, About my sister...
...she doesn't have time to be hanging around the Moonrace.
I'm here to inform her that mother's health is deteriorating and request that we both return to Vicinity.
"Beam Saber", is it?
You used a thing like that to cut into the enemy's mechanical dolls?
While you may want to see it as a sword of light, it actually uses highly condensed super-heated particles.
Guin Rhineford!
The Airship is already prepared.
You can ride it to Vicinity.
Soldier, show them onto the Airship.
Sir.
Metallic particles, even?
Thank you very much, Sir.
Your sister and I will follow soon.
Yes.
Aren't you glad we came?
Try not to look below you.
After you.
Miss Kihel, Go ahead.
I board with gratitude.
So, is this the gondola?
This is also my first time standing inside this thing.
Be careful how you speak. Remember, you are Dianna Soriel.
You have to carry yourself with grace.
With grace, huh? You mean I need to use a more authorative tone?
I'm not sure if I can do it.
Please do not worry.
This airship is well suspended in the air.
I follow you.
Queen Dianna, I think there's a seat in the back back meant for overseeing the view.
Shall we take it, then?
- Dianna? - Sister?
Loran? Sochie?
Sochie Heim?
I'm very sorry, I was not aware that...
Her Majesty, Dianna Soriel would be here on the airship.
How do you do. It looks like you already know my name.
Your sister spoke of you to me.
Mr. Loran, please make yourself at ease.
Thank you, your Majesty.
Sister, Mother was crying because she's been feeling extremely lonely.
Mr. Guin said that this airship...
...would by flying around Vicinity, and then returning here.
Perhaps we could stop there for a while.
Yes, l would like to do that as well.
If that would be permissible, Sir Guin Rhineford.
If you wish.
Miss Kihel, please prepare a pot of tea for us.
Of course.
I'll do it. The tea set's right over here.
You idiot. That's my sister's job.
We'll head out as well.
It's so beautiful.
Yes. Today's view is magnificent.
As Sir Guin has said...
...we should not allow this war to ruin this scenery.
Yes. The flames of war cannot be allowed to destroy this.
Miss Kihel...
Haven't you seen these sights before?
Yes, of course I have.
Don't you mean to say that the view on earth changes day by day, Kihel?
A different view every day.
The landscape on the moon is always the same.
It won't endure any noticable changes after even an entire century passes, Queen Dianna?
Y... Yes, that's correct.
There is never any change.
However, the view here on earth is awe inspiring.
That one's a SUMO Mobile Suit from the Royal Guard, right?
The Dianna Counter's...
...mechanical dolls are usually called Mobile Suits.
"Suits" are strange things.
A biplane has a far more elegant appearnce to it, does it not, Queen Dianna?
It truly is a vehicle design one could only see here on the earth.
Two pairs of wings is a beautiful sight.
What's that?
It was caused by a bomb.
Nocis city was also badly damaged.
It looks like it was burned.
It does nothing but destroy such beauty...
...and cause food shortages for those who live there.
Honestly...
- Miss Kihel... - Yes?
Sir Miran, Queen Dianna...
I would like to borrow Lady Kihel.
As you wish.
- Follow me to the cabin. - Right.
Do you have any extra clothing with you?
I'm sorry, I don't.
How about you, Sochie?
What do you mean?
Queen Dianna is dressed rather oddly.
I would like her to wear something a bit more normal...
...in order to avoid being targeted by the Militia's solders.
My sister's room survived the fire, so we could visit there when we get home.
Why couldn't she just use some of her items?
Wouldn't that work?
Well, I was hoping...
I could find some clothes on this ship that would work.
You idiot, there wouldn't be any around here!
There is nothing to be done until we land, then.
If we do go to your home, may I borrow your clothing, Kihel?
You both seem to have the same body shape, so I wonder if she'll fit them?
They would fit her as though they were tailor made.
Why are you so excited?
She's the leader of our enemy.
Are you glad to lend your clothing to such a person?
Our father died because that woman decided to come to Earth!
They're the reason that our mother has lost her senses!
Why should we help protect someone like her!?
Please understand, Milady Sochie.
But... I'm right, aren't I?
Yes, you are right, Milady Sochie.
You must understand.
l'll make sure that it works out.
Until then, I'm asking you for this, Sochie Heim.
Harry, I hope this all works out.
l cannot agree.
Vicinity hosts a large number of the Militia's currently active guerilla factions.
What if something were to happen?
That's what you said...
...before we came down to earth, Ambassador Miran.
However...
If anything bad were to happen to you...
Regardless of the friends or enemies we may encounter...
We must see how their citizens live for ourselves.
- Now, Pull! - One, two, Pull!
Our path has to be kept a secret, understood?
Her Majesty Dianna is in the second truck.
Watch it closely.
The Militia army is always active in this area.
- Shall we go? - Please
- Follow the car ahead of us. - Right.
Was the tunnel where the White Doll's hammer was uncovered buried beneath this rubble?
No. Now, the entire area has been destroyed...
The war has even spread to a remote village like this one...
Lady Kihel! Lady Sochie!
You finally made it back! It's been so long and you've been so busy...
Lord Guin, Your Majesty!
Thank you so much for bringing the ladies back to us.
It's no problem, Jessica.
I thank you.
Lady Kihel, your mother has been waiting to see you.
If you'd like to step inside...
...I'm sure they'd be willing to let you in.
Would that be alright?
If Queen Dianna Soriel has come to see the people...
l don't see a problem with you doing so.
Laura, lead me in.
Yes.
Sorry for interrupting, it's Queen Dianna Soriel.
Please come in.
This summer holiday's been a long one, hasn't it?
Yes it has.
There's been too much homework, so l couldn't make it back before this.
It's fine, Sochie.
I am just happy to see your face again.
Right, Jessica?
Ma'am, Lady Kihel has returned as well.
Mother.
Is everything going well at your University?
Of course. I've made several friends there.
I'm sorry to have called you all the way back here.
No.
Mother...
In this big house, Sam and Jessica are all I have left.
Your father left for the mountains to try and improve productivity in the mines.
For the sake of our leader...
The war I've insigated is against people like this...?
Your hands are warm, Kihel.
Thank you very much, mother.
Sister, it's time for us to go say hello to our father.
Sure.
Tell your father not to worry himself over us.
Yes.
Lady Kihel?
Oh father, I'm so very sorry!
I'm sorry it took so long for me to come back...
It's just that I have been kept so very busy by my work.
I really am terribly sorry, father. Please understand this and be at peace...
L- Lady Kihel...
Dianna Soriel...
Thank you so much.
That...That really did come from deep within your heart, didn't it?
As mechanical dolls continue to...
...be excavated from the Mountain Cycle...
The Militia army battles against the Soleil.
During the attack, the Soleil launches to retreat.
While she's on the ship, Milady Kihel suggests that the negotiations continue...
However...
The Mountain Cycle ends up being attacked as well.
Next time... on TURN-A GUNDAM...
The Destruction of Nocis
"The winds of negotiation will become still."
The Destruction of Nocis
