The Suicide Squadron and Milady Sochie fought against the powerful squad of FLATs.
Meanwhile, I was trying to persuade the one single person who refused to flee the battlefield, the old woman, Anis.
That was when I discovered that she was related to the baker who employed Keith.
It was quite a shock to me.
Dianna's Desperate Fight
Is that a Pigeon?
Ahh, it's our little Blue Bishop.
You're pretty smart if you can deliver a letter to us like that.
Loran, we've received a message.
Is it bad?
Just the opposite.
Miashei's been sent to the war hospital, they say it's nothing to worry about.
Thank goodness.
On the other hand, it looks like Dianna Counter is on the move to attack the ship at Kingsley.
I knew it.
Do you think the hospital might also be in danger?
You mean they can't just move the hospital?
That would require moving a lot of sick and wounded soldiers.
What if we launched an attack on the Soleil before they attacked us?
What do you mean?
The one who strikes first is often the one who wins, right?
The Soleil's trapped and can't move right now. It's the best time for an attack.
That might be, however...
Sochie, please think that through first.
I did think it through.
Regardless of whether it's a hit and run attack, or all out war, our enemy's not just mindless machines.
You have to think of the people living there.
We can't just charge in there and kill everything indiscriminately...
Sister, you've been acting strangely!
Lady Sochie...
Sister, have you forgotten?
Our father was murdered by the Moonrace!
How could you spout such idealistic crud!?
My Sister is...
You've become soft and weak ever since you started hanging around Loran!
l'll never forget our father's death!
Milady! I will find a way to protect the hospital...
...and also a way to win the battle!
Damn it!
What Sochie says isn't exactly wrong...
But there's not much she can do about it at this point.
Queen Dianna...
Boss!
What's up, you guys?
We're friends of the Captain. We'd like to come on board and work here.
Friends of the Captain?
We're pleased to be at your service and meet you.
Pleased to meet you as well. I am Horace, the lead technician.
l am Jacop, and that jerk is Bruno.
Pleased to meet you.
Shit... We can't even use a ladder to climb down from here...
The White Mustache's wandering around outside right now.
Couldn't we just take control of the ship?
There's nobody here...
They're way too relaxed.
Now's our chance... why don't we just activate and steal the entire hovercraft?
Idiot...
What are you guys doing here?
Is that Captain Loran?
We met you at that donkey and old granny's house.
What are you doing here?
Our buddy Horace said that if we didn't have any place to go...
That we could stay here and work.
You're friends with Mr. Horace?
He said that the captain was just about to leave and that we should take the helm for him.
That'd be great!
Damn you!
Piece of shit...!
Couldn't you say something when you're sitting there like that?
That's really rude.
I'm sorry, Sochie.
You have to consider the geopolitical factors in our situation.
Are you saying that we should consider land structure and climates as a factor in our politics?
Precisely.
If you closely follow the territorial borders we've marked on our map, our intent should become obvious to anyone.
Can you honestly say that now, after making that speech?
Our plan was progressing too rapidly and recklessly, so it became a necessity.
Am I right?
Our opponents still intend to fight, despite my attempts.
That's where you've been.
What's going on?
It's our duty to protect you and to keep bad things from happening.
We'll escort you back to your room.
I'd like to speak to Lieutenant Harry.
Are you telling me that, after I entrusted Genganam to him, Agrippa Maintainer and his followers betrayed us?
The times started changing ever since our operation to return here began.
It seems that Agrippa Maintainer and his followers also changed their way of thinking.
Regardless of anything else, it seems like those who maintain the moon's hibernation capsules have changed their attitude.
After being on the moon for so long, perhaps his own fighting instincts have reawakened.
In that case, they must feel that a person like myself is no longer important.
It is true that on the day of Dianna's Speech,
There was an attempt to assassinate you.
And then there was Corin.
That might also be connected to the assassins who were trying to sneak in.
Would it?
These people who do not want to come to earth... Why would they want to expand the war?
They may be trying to increase the general sentiments against you here.
If that's true, I'll need to consider this matter carefully.
Yes.
One more thing, Harry. Let me ask a favor of you.
Yes?
The guardsmen on duty around my room, replace them with women.
It looks as though you've overlooked something.
Ah... right.
It doesn't matter how much time goes by, I am still a woman.
It's depressing to always be surrounded by stoic male guards.
Would it be alright for me to enter the hospital first?
Be aware, the manager will yell at you if you make too much noise.
Just keep going, the hospital is straight ahead.
Sochie!
Miashei!
Some people here are on the road to heaven, keep your voice down!
Oh, sorry.
Forgive us, we're not familiar with these kinds of things.
You came to see me!
Of course I would!
I don't think she should be this energetic...
It's nothing but a broken bone, there's no need for such noise.
Cecily, come here and make this pumpkin calm down.
Don't yell!
This place is its own battlefield.
We're lucky that we do our fighting 'inside' the Kapools.
I can see...
Ahh, I see. So you've already visited the hospital camp Miashei's being kept in?
That's right. And we also wanted to see how things were coming along here.
That's the reason we all came here.
As you can see, we've set up some security measures around here,
but our defenses simply are not very strong.
When Guin Rhineford comes...
l intend to ask him about setting up a stronger guard.
Will he be coming here?
In that case, let me speak to him as well.
It's here!
I had no idea Lily Borjarno would also be meeting us here.
Now that all of the ladies are here, we should have a party, shouldn't we?
But unfortunately, since our spaceship is still buried...
We can't throw a party in the sky just yet.
Sir Guin, show me around the inside.
Guin Rhineford...
l'd like to speak with you about moving and guarding the hospital.
Let's hold off the talks about the war until after Lady Lily has left us, Laura.
Right.
You should all join us.
She's way out of line.
Out of line?
As the Duke's daughter, her behavior's not the least bit appropriate.
Amazing! There are so many pretty lights!
Laura, what do you think?
l believe this artifact might be from an era before the White Doll's time.
That's exactly what I thought.
This is amazing.
I wonder how school teachers are going to teach their students history now?
That's a good thought.
Do you believe that it will really fly?
Our technicians from the Moonrace have promised us so. This will become our most valuable weapon.
Valuable weapon? Aren't you thinking a bit rashly?
You think so?
Perhaps I should just call it reckless.
It's said that the first steps to all changes in history are like that.
Sir Guin, I'd like you to oversee our emplacements.
Chief Ladderum, come with me. You as well, Laura.
Right!
Come to think of it, I've never asked you your name.
Oh, I'm Kihel Heim.
So your the Miner's daughter?
Right, but I've never seen them excavate a ship like this!
- You're fairly cocky, aren't you. - Hmm?
Naturally. What status do you have that gives you the right to act so familiar with Sir Guin?
My status?
That's right. You should try showing more discretion and just focus on doing more work.
Doing work?
Is there anything you need me to do for you?
Well, let's see, what exactly are you good at?
Are you a great typist, or mathematician?
Nothing like that...
That's no good, then...
I have an idea! Why don't you go and volunteer for the hospital?
The hospital?
I don't know anything about medicine.
That has nothing to do with it.
They need more people there.
Their doctors and nurses are overwhelmed by the influx in wounded soldiers.
They don't even have time for food.
Thank you so much, Lady Lily Borjarno!
You've shown me something that's very important!
I've been such a fool, I wasn't able to figure out something even as simple as this!
Please, Chief Nurse.
Do you have an experience in nursing?
l don't even know how to cook a fish...
That's a shame.
I'd like to refuse, but I guess it can't be helped.
Throw this garbage into the hole in the valley.
Yes.
Cecily, dress this girl properly...
...and show her how to handle the laundry.
Sure!
Wash this as well, and return it to its place.
Yes.
Thanks for the help. Now, your dress...
And your job is to avoid giving us even more injured people!
Right!
Pull that off, and we might finally be able to go home.
I will do my best!
Your hair will only get in the way of your job.
Now we'll head over and change the sheets.
Right.
Alright!
Don't give me more work to do!
I'm sorry!
I can't even do this very well...
Hey Mr. Horace, the electricity...
The electrical voltage has been fixed.
Did you find the open circuit between numbers 23 and 25?
We set the voltage to a fixed rate, so it should be stable now.
That makes sense.
Those two people are hard workers.
Yeah. Now in order to be sure if we can start up the I-Field...
...we'll need to know what capacity the electrical circuits can handle to be sure it'll even work at all.
l switched it just as it said in the manual.
The nano-skin has kept this thing perfectly intact, possibly for well over a thousand years.
It's possible that the machine itself might even have that self repair function. It could even move on its own someday.
It's full of glass vials, so it's heavy.
Right.
The medicine is extremely valuable. Don't drop it.
Alright, next.
Who exactly are you?
I am the daughter of this hospital's sponsor.
You mean you're the daughter of Luzianna's Duke?
That's right.
l've come to ask about the girl who came to work for you today.
Has Kihel Heim done something wrong?
No.
She feels that she's not being pushed hard enough.
The minor tasks you've given her won't help her to advance her potential nursing career.
Although, perhaps I'm asking too much of you.
- That's enough! - You can't do this!
- Are you ready? - Yes!
Please, don't! No, stop this!
Get him more whiskey.
Don't give me more sake! Just get me the anesthetic!
Prepare an anesthetic injection.
Right.
- Tie down his arms and legs and then clear the room. - Right.
- It's the one on the right. - Okay.
- I'll do anything! Just let me go! - Cecily, hurry it up.
Sorry, I couldn't find the bucket for the blood.
- Tie his hands up. - Right!
Get his legs ready.
I love this leg, please let me go!
Alright! Don't worry, once we give you the anesthetic, you won't feel a thing.
The injection! Now!
What are you doing, girl?
Nurse, cut away his pants.
I'll even treat my mother better. Please don't do this!
- I'll leave it to you, Doctor. Do it delicately. -You can count on me.
Mother!
- Place that bucket under his bed. - Right.
Alright, we'll begin the operation to amputate his leg.
She's only carrying dirty laundry?
I guess I was wrong. This seems to have gone as planned...
Kihel- Kihel Heim!
Another team's soiled linens are ready for you...
We'll need them to be prepared by tonight.
Got it, ma'am.
Wow, that cart's totally full!
I wonder if she'll make it by tomorrow...
That miner's daughter is pretty strong.
I think we'd be better off just burning them all.
Don't be a fool.
Who knows when more supplies will come in again.
Do I have to finish them all today?
Use the cart to move them.
And it's fine if you get them done by tomorrow.
Done by tomorrow.
The doctor told me...
...that the reason why there's dirty things soiled with blood and sweat...is because these people are still alive.
l never thought of it in that way.
Hmm? What is it?
Queen Dianna...
Nice legs, lady!
What in the world are they making you do!?
Just look and you'll understand.
- Let me help you! - This is something I must do.
And it would destroy Miss Kihel's reputation if I were to quit now.
B-but...Is that batch all that you have to get done?
You have to finish all of that, right?
That's exactly right.
I'll get it done by tomorrow if I work the whole day, Right?
Loran Cehack?
Right...
Because this is for the sake of those who are still alive...
There'll be even more dirty clothes tomorrow.
That's right...
l need to finish it by morning.
Damn fool!
Loran?
Hey, Loran, what are doing, Loran?
Gallop, I'm just going to take White Doll for something,
But it's not a battle.
Loran sent us a transmission.
He's taking off?
I'm just going off to do some laundry.
Loran, if there's no enemy, don't bother using the White Doll!
Machines are supposed to be used to help people.
Fighting isn't the only thing they're used for.
Milady, use this as a washing machine.
A washing machine? What are you talking about?
Hop on shore.
Are you going to use White Doll's hands?
That's exactly it. I can even put the bucket it.
I wish we had some soap powder in there.
It might overflow, so please get back.
Right!
It can spin backwards, and move the water in all directions.
Bubbles?
Did you put in some soap?
No, I didn't know about it. The soap had to be in the cart.
The person who gave me the load must have thrown some in with it.
That might be it.
But how about this... perhaps after seeing all of your efforts, Milady...
...God decided to reward you for them!
Do you think that could have happened to me, Loran Cehack?
Of course it could!
What's with you and the "Lady"...
I've been informed that Commander Phil just deployed,
With a large attack squadron, and he intends to destroy their spacecraft.
That appears to be true.
There is a girl named Kihel Heim who may be on that ship.
Yes.
I'd like her to be brought here.
Are you officially requesting me to do it?
I believe you're the best man for the job.
Understood.
I wish you success.
Such beautiful colors...
Dianna Counter intends to destroy the Spacecraft being excavated by the Militia.
Lieutenant Harry is told of this...
...and posing as a technician, comes to take back Queen Dianna.
However, it does not turn out as he had desired...
...and Milady Kihel's idea fails.
Next time... on TURN A GUNDAM...
