Wow!
We're finally here.
Yeah!
We should see it any minute!
There it is.
Amazing...
This is the 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 6
The Holy Spring
What a sight!
The angel's rings!
Isn't it amazing?
Yeah...
It really is.
In the beginning, there was a single drop of rain.
The drop fell for seven days and seven nights,
and on the eighth, it fell upon a flagstone.
Isn't that the legend of Saint Aldista?
Yeah.
The flagstone pitied the rain as it fell,
and Saint Aldista granted its wish.
She created the Holy Spring, which shoots water high into the sky.
I thought it was just a myth.
I never imagined it was real.
I wish my father could have seen it.
And my mother.
I have returned.
Isla's true voyage begins.
Who knows what we'll find?
The enemy air force, shooting at us.
You lack a sense of romance, Amelia...
It wasn't listed under the job requirements.
Very well, Foreign Secretary.
Has the captured pilot told us anything of this enemy air force you speak of?
The Sky Clan's linguistic system is very similar to that of Balsteros.
It didn't take long for us to communicate.
That of Balsteros?
Yes.
But at this point, all we know
is that they will attack anyone who enters the Holy Spring.
Which means that we can't avoid combat...
They're simple barbarians.
I've been enjoying the view with the foreign secretary.
Thank you for the invitation,
Commander Leopold and Finance Secretary Marx.
The Council of Four is all here.
I was just speaking with the foreign secretary about the Sky Clan.
What have we to fear from an enemy still using high-wing monoplanes?
We cannot fight an enemy that we know nothing about.
I'd like you to send out recon planes.
We're already flying through uncharted territory.
I don't want to frighten people.
If you are so keen on scouting, why not use trainees?
They may be barbarians, but I don't think the students—
Among the trainees is Nina—
Claire Cruz.
Then simply don't send her.
Come one, come all!
I'd heard that the pilot trainees were running a restaurant.
It's delicious!
If you don't eat it, you'll be sorry!
What kind of restaurant is it?
It's an Ari-men restaurant!
Ari-men?
Th-This is...
A wonderful broth, with a rich, subtle taste,
perfectly matching the succulent noodles!
It's delicious!
Is this Ari-men?
The line ends here!
H-Here you are.
Welcome!
I'll read your order back to you.
Three more Ari-men!
Got it!
When making noodles, firmness is key.
Who's that?
We're in the same class, and you still don't know my name?
I'm best friends with my bro, Wolf!
I'm Marco!
Who?
The Ari-men is really popular.
And we're making a lot of money.
We won't be lacking anything for a good while.
We've sold more than 1,500,000 quills.
It's incredible.
Is the roast pork ramen ready yet?
Kal-el—
Huh? Where's Kal-el?
We've finally made it this far.
I wonder what the End of the Sky is like.
Ow!
Kal-el, quit slacking!
I am not!
Everyone else is working hard.
So get back in there.
We're running out of flour.
And eggs and green onions.
Okay, Sharon.
Find someone who's free, and go with them.
Want me to go?
You're in charge of cooking the pork.
It's like a huge festival.
There used to be festivals like this in Benares, remember?
The Summer Solstice?
Oh, the memories...
Hi there!
Oh, you must be with Cadoques High.
Are you in the flight school?
Yes.
Then you flew over the Holy Spring?
Yeah...
Oh, right.
It's rumored that once you reach the Holy Spring, the Sky Clan will attack.
Is that true?
Please take this, also.
Um...
You look really good.
A-Are you all right?
Oh no!
Did you hurt yourself?
No, I'm sorry.
What's wrong?
Ari, get Claire patched up.
Got it.
Can I leave this to you for a while?
I don't mind.
But aren't you the only one who can cook the noodles?
Um...
I'll do it!
I've seen her make Ari-men since she was a kid.
I think I can do it!
You guys go and take it easy.
Fine.
You're in charge now!
Okay!
There we go.
Thanks.
Since all that was new to you, you must be tired.
Oh, I'm sure not as much as you.
You're so amazing.
You can do anything.
Nah, it's nothing.
My older sisters taught me.
I wonder how everyone is doing right now.
I'm sure they're fine.
They're looking forward to you two coming home!
You're right.
I'm worried about Kal, so I'm going to head back.
Do you need some more rest?
No.
I'll go back, as well.
You should take it easy.
I'm on my last legs too.
How did this happen?
But I'm happy that the Ari-men is so popular.
It's just so delicious!
I know I messed up back there,
and I know I don't live at the dorm,
but since everyone else is working so hard for the sake of the dorm,
I'll also do my best!
Then let's go back together.
Again?
Huh? That isn't right?
It's exactly what we all expected...
What's wrong?
The line of customers keeps increasing.
And people are complaining that the noodles are too soft.
Fine...
Step aside, amateur!
I'll show you how it's done.
J-Just let me do it.
Move.
I didn't know you were here.
Your sister dragged me here.
Don't bother.
It's impossible.
I was watching her as I washed plates.
I have the basics down.
It's perfect.
You're really talented, Ignacio!
Amazing, Igna!
If we do this together, we can knock it out in a flash.
Yeah, you're really good!
Kal,
we don't need you here anymore, so get out there and go help the customers.
Claire, show him the ropes.
First, get everyone a pair of chopsticks and a glass of water.
Say, "Welcome",
take their order, and return.
When it's ready, bring it out.
And when they finish, ask, "May I take this?"
Was that hard to understand?
Nope.
Crystal clear.
Want to try it, then?
Yeah!
Serenading a Certain Pilot
Thank you!
The food was great.
Thank you!
Sharon said the people in town were talking about a rumor.
About what?
They said when we enter the Spring, the Sky Clan will attack us.
Well, we all thought they were just a fairy tale, so boy was I surprised when they actually showed up.
But I heard they just use dingy old machines.
It'll be just fine.
Two Ari-men coming up.
One large, right?
Here you are.
Be careful, it's hot.
Enjoy.
Admiral?
I'm glad to see you're having fun being a student.
The Ari-men is really good...
Enjoy yourself.
The curfew has been lifted for tonight.
I've spoken to Countess Ulshyrra.
Have fun.
Thank you very much!
Why, hello there.
It's been a long time.
Bandereas, what are you doing?
Navigation Officer Luis!
Navigation Officer? Ha!
He's a coward who was terrified by the sound of guns and played dead—
I am Sonia Palez, an instructor here!
Honored to meet you, Admiral Luis.
The pleasure is mine, Instructor Sonia.
Would you please stop saluting?
Make the pain stop!
I'm here incognito.
If someone learns who I am, there'll be trouble.
I'm sorry, sir.
I've known this gorilla since we were naval trainees, back in our teens.
I don't need any fancy greetings. Just have a seat.
Thank you, sir.
Here you are, instructor!
We haven't ordered yet.
It's on the house.
Enjoy!
Let's eat, then.
Yes, let's.
Thank you, come again!
Difficult to believe a student made this.
It is indeed surprising.
Sonia, are you okay?
Y-Yes, Admiral.
You looked as if something had stolen your heart away.
It was wonderful.
I'd like a chance to learn more about you.
You haven't changed, you slimeball!
And have you? Are you actually doing your job?
I'm sure it won't be long before you punch the principal or a student in the face and get fired.
I don't punch people!
You knocked out a rear admiral when you were a low-ranking officer.
I could see you punching anyone.
You knocked out a rear admiral?!
In his defense, the gorilla did have a point.
The admiral had ordered a series of long-range bombings without escort
that cost the lives of many pilots.
He'd gone to ask the admiral to reconsider, but...
He wouldn't talk to me, so I had no choice.
The only reason he wasn't executed was that he happened to be
the Royal Air Defense's ace.
You were an imperial ace?!
That's all history!
I'm more interested in how you'll be using my students for recon missions.
Commander Leopold's "suggestion".
Even if the enemy uses outdated equipment, you'd still send students into a war zone?
I'm praying it won't become one.
You don't believe the Sky Clan to be mere barbarians, do you?
That's why I reinforced Isla's defenses.
I'd rather not use a bunch of youngsters likely to be as crazy as you.
Tell the student who made it that the Ari-men was delicious.
Total sales for the evening are 1,786,500 quill.
What a night!
Wow!
Everyone worked really hard.
Right?
Making the noodles was very tough.
My face is stuck in a smile...
But it's all thanks to Ari, isn't it?
Good work today, Ari.
I'm never making Ari-men ever again.
Huh? Why?
Because I want to be a pilot.
At this rate, I'm likely to end up a ramen chef.
Right, Chiharu?
Y-Yeah.
You're amazing... You can do anything.
I can't do anything!
Your practical scores are better than mine, Chiharu.
Um, Chiharu...
No, it's thanks to my partner.
Not at all.
I'm the one who needs help.
Mitty knows all about airplanes and machine guns and stuff...
And he's good at using them.
He's great to have around!
Good to hear.
I don't see it...
I think Chiharu would get along with anyone she was paired with.
That isn't true!
Only with Mitty!
Because Mitty is amazing.
Chiharu?
Come on, he's just way too into airplanes.
He isn't funny, and he's fat.
That's the only thing he's good at.
It's amazing that he has even one thing he's good at.
I don't have anything I'm good at...
I...
Chiharu?
This isn't like you.
U-Um...
Is something wrong?
Kal!
Listen...
All I did was say Mitsuo was an airplane geek and then...
Yeah, he is.
Isn't he?
He knows more about airplanes than anyone,
and his piloting and recon skills are amazing!
N-No...
Eh? What?
Did I say something weird?
No...
I don't even feel like being mad anymore.
Okay, then let's have a party of our own!
Yeah!
How did I end up looking like the bad guy?
What? Why?
Damn it, you don't understand anything!
Kal isn't so bad himself.
Even when he couldn't do it, he took my place.
Mitty?
Want to sit down?
Sure.
Oh, thanks for what you said earlier.
For defending me.
I just said what I believed.
You really are amazing, Mitty.
I don't have anything that makes me special.
That's not true...
Your piloting's a lot more stable now.
And you work really hard.
Thanks.
You're the first person to ever say that.
My mom always used to tell me I was no good.
Even though my older and younger brothers could do anything.
So I thought that if I could fly, it would be nice!
That's why I came to Isla.
Kind of a lame motive, isn't it?
Like I'm running from something.
That isn't true!
I came here because it lets me do the only thing I'm good at.
I'm...
...really glad you came.
I tried to cheer you up,
but you ended up turning the tables on me.
I'm glad we could see the Holy Spring together.
Yeah, it was amazing.
Just seeing it made coming here worth it.
But they say that, once we reach the Holy Spring, the Sky Clan will attack.
That's the rumor going around, isn't it?
Will we have to fight them?
I'll be there!
Like everyone says,
all I'm good at is piloting and shooting, so...
Hold my hand.
Your hand is warm...
So is yours.
I hope we can all fly these skies forever.
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.
We've been given the order to launch.
His mission is AA support.
Well, if that idiot went out there, he'd just get in—
