We're done down here.
Claire, give it a go!
Okay.
It seems fine!
What's wrong, Ari?
Nothing.
It's been four months since Isla left the Balsteros Republic.
All right!
We're starting to look a bit like real pilots.
At least, I hope so.
Morons!
Your rotors are wide open, greenhorns!
Chiharu, drop altitude.
We're failing at recon.
Roger.
Everyone has a different look in their eyes compared to before.
It's summer.
And we've nearly reached the legendary Holy Spring.

I had nowhere to run
Gazing out from my window
Was all I could handle
I never had the faintest inkling
Of what you were trying to tell me back then
As we lived our lives in a world
Clouded over in despair
The winds of change started blowing
I felt like I could fly anywhere with you
Grasping at the newfound freedom I had
I was still living in a world where ignorance was bliss
Under an all too immature
Azure sky
Episode 5
The Girl Who Calls the Wind
Everyone, line up at attention.
On the double!
You'll never become real pilots like that.
Question, sir.
Why are we training like this?
We're pilot trainees.
Ground combat is a part of pilot training.
You won't always be fighting in the air.
But...
Is that the only question?
Then we'll begin water training.
And for me...
Well? Wondrous, isn't it?
Muscles!
Charge!
Everyone, keep up!
If any of you drop out, everyone has to do a hundred push-ups!
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Make it stop...
Those two are monsters...
Training's over.
You are dismissed for today.
Thank you.
As we approach the Spring, the knights stand by.
Once in a while, you guys should also get a chance to relax!
Anyone who wants to stay and have fun is welcome to do so.
If you're hungry, go catch a fish!
Anyone who doesn't want to go home, practice making camp.
Got it?
We get to camp out here!
Thank you, Mr. Bandereas!
Ari, have you become one of them?
Her endurance is amazing.
I'm gonna do it...
I'm gonna have fun...
...with a girl in a swimsuit.
Right, come on, Noripii!
Yeah, this might be fun.
All we've been doing these days is train.
Then it's settled.
We'll all camp here.
Let's go, Mitty.
Y-Yeah.
What do you want to do, Benji?
I'm the type of person who follows the crowd.
What about you, Wolf?
Me too.
Let's go, Claire!
But my curfew...
It's fine.
There's still plenty of time.
Claire!
See? Ari's calling for you.
Yeah.
This is stupid. We're leaving.
Tickle, tickle, tickle!
Ari! That tickles!
Having fun, Mitty?
Yes.
Tickle, tickle, tickle, tick—
Ari!
I knew I'd find you there!
What?
You're always off to the side, secretly watching us.
If you want to join in the fun, just say so, Igna.
Hey, come on.
Wait, I...
Come on!
Is there any spicier bread?
No...
I'll get this, too!
Don't see that often.
I guess you can't turn down a girl, either.
You ignoring me?!
I think he might have the right to ignore you.
Noripii's so silly, no one does anything he says.
He's got the depth of a puddle.
What the heck?!
No one's as deep as I am!
Benji's a bookworm.
A bookworm?
Mitsuo's a geek.
Geek?
Wolf's a muscle gorilla.
A muscle gorilla!
That isn't a compliment.
And Kal's a dork, so I'm the closest we've got to a leader.
Then what's Igna?
An emotional fraud?
You ignoring me again?!
Ain't much of a leader...
He's more of an extra than a leader.
He just doesn't stand out.
Shut up!
Don't treat me like an extra!
Right, right.
See you later, irrelevant guy.
H-Hey, don't call me that!
What was Ari thinking, bringing Ignacio over?
Kal-el, can I ask you something?
Go ahead.
I have the feeling we've been going in circles...
I thought you knew the way.
I was following you...
L-Let's just get back to camp.
Or we'll get stranded again!
Ow...
S-Sorry, Claire... Are you okay?
Fine, and you?
No, I didn't mean to...
Claire...
Dork.
RA?
Oh, I'm sorry. Don't mind me.
I do mind you!
When did you get here? Why?!
Every day, I take an evening stroll around the lake.
How was I supposed to know that?
Come on, let's go.
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.
What's her problem?
Jeez...
Claire?
Come on, just let me walk you home.
I'm fine.
I'll see you at school tomorrow.
Y-Yeah, see you tomorrow.
Are you leaving too?
I'm not here on Isla to pretend to be people's friend.
Are you, Kal-el Albus?
Thank you, Michael.
I will definitely return.
I'll find the End of the Sky, and become a great pilot.
I was telling the truth, but...
I understand...
So the new government figured it out a long time ago.
Only a very small number are aware of Karl La Hire's survival.
But if it's discovered...
I'll end up a political tool?
Do what you want, but count me out.
We have a suggestion.
We'd like you to participate in the Isla Project.
Me?
Why?
Nina Viento will also be on Isla, as governor.
We thought you might be interested in an opportunity
to live on the same island as her.
What the hell is wrong with you?!
He's in the new government's way,
so you're sending him to the End of the Sky?
This is just a way to get rid of him!
Dad...
Tell me more.
Nina Viento...
What do I want to do here?
On Isla?
The Luna Barco has recharged its hydrogen battery stack.
It will return to Isla in fifty minutes.
We're nearly at the Holy Spring.
I suppose we've reached the first major obstacle.
Even if you're right, so what?
Our home country has abandoned us.
Even if we finish our journey, we've nowhere to return.
Yes, I am a doll that is no longer needed.
Nina Viento.
Ever since that day, nine years ago.
Serenading a Certain Pilot
I grew up in a village on the outskirts of Balsteros.
For as long as I could remember,
I had a strange power.
But because of it...
Get out!
Witch! Witch!
Get out of the village!
No, please...
I can't give my daughter to the moneylenders.
Then you want your whole family to die homeless?
Get out, witch!
The wind's blowing up from the ground?
Wind-calling?
Did you know
that Saint Aldista was born from the wind?
Yes.
Originally, Saint Aldista was a wind god.
"Witch" is just slander.
You are blessed by a god.
Please lend us your power.
We need you.
You need me?
The Empire was already a step away from destruction.
The people sought salvation.
But...
That day, six years ago...
Nina...
Nina Viento!
...I realized what a sinner I was.
Excuse me.
This is—
Hello!
I am Isla's admiral.
Next year, I'll be traveling to the End of the Sky.
My name is Luis de Alarcon.
Would you like to come and fly with me?
I wanted to show you this.
What is your name?
Claire Cruz...
Claire...
A good name.
Who gave it to you?
My mother.
She was a very weak person, but I loved her.
Do you like the sky, Claire?
Yes.
Then I'd like to make a request of you.
I want you to come to Isla.
You've lost the power to call the wind,
so I hate to ask another difficult task of you.
But even still, we need you.
Claire.
Claire...
I'm sorry.
If Kal-el really is Karl la Hire...
Then I...
We'll be using paintballs.
A one-on-one mock battle?
A fair dogfight, just like classic Balsteros chivalry!
You're getting too excited, Mitty.
Claire, um... About earlier...
I'm sorry for what happened at the camp!
If you're mad at me...
No, I'm not.
It was my fault...
Have you seen the match lineup?
It looks like—
Get lost, Fausto.
Right now, I'm talking to Claire.
Seriously, why don't you guys split up?
Begin combat!
Kal-el! Claire!
You can do it!
Am I imagining things, or are they moving more unevenly than usual?
Drop our speed, and get them in front of us.
Claire!
Claire...
I'm sorry, I...
Claire, I want to stay your partner.
I don't know what will happen in the future,
but right now, I want to fly these skies with you at my side.
Is that all right?
Same here.
I want to fly with you, Kal-el...
If I could, I'd stay like this forever.
I want to stay who I am...
You are who you are.
Let's go.
Right!
H-Hey, look at them.
They're back to normal!
They're doing well.
Yes, they work better together than almost anyone else.
What's wrong, Ari?
Oh, it's nothing!
You can do it, guys!
Now, Kal-el!
We did it!
Emergency landing.
Hurry!
This is not a drill!
The Sky Clan?
The Guardians of the Holy Spring
from the Myth of Saint Aldista?
I had no idea they really existed.
How stupid.
They're mere barbarians time has left behind.
Shoot them down.
Every single one!
Yes, sir.
Kal-el, I'm taking us down!
G-Got it!
What's going on?
Sweet whispers of love aren't enough
To quell these unspoken feelings that stir within me
Armor is too heavy a burden for my body to bear
As I look for the key to unlock my imperfect heart
If there was ever a reason for me to fight
It could only be one thing
I can't leave you trembling alone
So I promise to come pick you up
I know how warm your body can feel
And so does the wind
It's me, Ignacio.
Lately, his sister's been calling me "Igna" for some reason.
It's irritating.
But she is a good cook.
Ari—
