The number 3 compartment is flooded!
Captain, at this rate...
No, we have to draw the enemy in.
Enemy torpedo, distance: 800!
700!
We can't hold out any longer, Captain.
600!
Not yet.
Yes, Just a little bit closer...
500!
400!
300!
Now!
Launch counter-measures.
Hard to port!
Emergency blow!
Didn't you hear that, Mardukas-?
Tessa, thank you for everything.
S-Sagara-san?!
To me, you're someone very precious...
It's true, Tessa.
I like you. I love you.
Tessa, I like you. I love you.
Oh my, you're... It's so embarrassing.
Torpedo is going to impact!
Where's the torpedo?
Someone, please report...
Danaan...
Where did everyone go?
Damage report?
All right. Battle scenario G-54 completed.
Next, we'll run the H-55 simulation.
Roger.
Commencing H-55.
Three enemy AS units have been detected at the displayed positions.
Use of main weapon, as well as ATD is recommended.
Try it.
Roger.
A new high-threat target approaching.
Ah! Sagara-san!
C-Captain?!
Sagara-san!
C-Captain!
I do not understand the situation!
Situation...?
Oh, who cares.
The situation is ---
Shut up!
Please call me Tessa like before...
This is like being in a dream,
and I want to feel happy every once in a while.
D-Dream?
I'm sorry, I do not understand.
Damage to the chest.
You shut up!
Geez, Sagara-san, you meanie...
What should I do to make you call me Tessa?
The situation is dangerous.
I would do anything for you.
T-Then... Tessa!
I mean, Captain.
I'll call the medic over immediately.
Please get a hold of yourself!
Medic...?
Abnormalities detected in enemy behavior.
A-Are you hurt?!
No!
N-No, that wasn't what I meant to do!
I didn't go insane.
I was just half asleep and...
Oh no! I'm so...!
Captain?
A-Are-Are-Are you hurt?!
Fine! Fine! I'm absolutely fine!
Don't tell anyone else!
Please!
I'm sorry!
What was that all about?
Enemy has retreated.
You're losing a chance to pursue.
Shut up!
And? You approached you subordinates while half asleep,
Merida Island Base Hangar
...tripped, and ran away?
That's just absurd.
You're no different than an old, senile person.
O-Old, senile person?
You know, even if you were drowsy from sleep,
who walks around a ship half naked?
You're quite lucky that the Danaan is docked so no one was around.
Don't worry.
Sousuke isn't the type who'd tattle such things to others.
I'm depressed because it was Sagara-san who saw me!
He probably detests me now.
More importantly, Tessa, you don't seem very busy today.
Yes, I worked hard yesterday to clear everything.
It's rare for Sagara-san to be back here,
so I wanted to spend today getting closer to him.
That said, I made such a mess of things this morning!
I-It's...
All is lost!
Besides, why were you sleeping on the Danaan's bridge in the first place?
Weren't we both rooming at the base yesterday?
Yes, I remember that, but...
When I came back exhausted,
you were drunk and I joined you for a bit but soon fell asleep.
So that would mean that after I went back, you left the room by yourself and somehow wandered aboard the docked Danaan.
Yes. And when I went back to my room this morning,
my favorite stuffed animal was missing.
Ah, that.
I must have dropped it somewhere on the base while sleepwalking.
All right, pull! Don't loosen it!
Melissa, do you know anything about it?
Nope.
You were still hugging it when you fell asleep drunk.
I just left you as you were and went back.
Wait a minute.
By "drunk" you mean...
Yeah, what you had wasn't just juice, but a cocktail.
You gave me alcohol?!
It's fine, isn't it?
No it isn't! Alcohol destroys brain cells!
If you want to stay in this line of work for a long-!
Man, stop talking like a certain blockhead!
It's ready!
Everyone, step back!
Got it!
What have you been doing this whole time?
I did send you a project scheme, didn't I?
We're researching the M9's movement patterns.
To be able to perform more advanced movements while unmanned.
Yes, but I'm not sure I understand the "advanced movements" part.
Well, just sit back and watch.
What's with that skirt?
Mood! It's all about the mood!
Yeah! Success!
All right, all right, all right!
Tango?
Well, isn't it amazing?
Erm...
I'd rather you didn't play around with the latest multi-million dollar machines.
How should I say this, as a commanding officer...
All right, here it comes!
Are you listening?
Right there..
Okay!
She's not listening at all, is she...?
We can win the entertainment tournament with this!
Ah... Another failure.
Don't be so disappointed.
Cheer up, Melissa!
Tessa...
Pay cut.
Submit letters of apology from the entire team and damage assessments by tomorrow, okay?
Did you lose something?
Yes...
Did you receive anything between last night and this morning?
Quartermaster's Office
I'll check immediately.
But Captain, you needn't have come down personally...
You could have simply given us a call.
I-It's something very personal...
Since I was nearby, I decided to stop by and ask.
My apologies!
And, what is this item you are looking for?
That is... Um...
Mornin'! Got a minute?
Eh? Why, if it isn't Tessa...
Weber-san!
Did you lose something?
Like a bento box or a sweatsuit?
It's not one of those grade-school-like items...
It's just a small personal item.
Anyway, are you in charge of lost and found items?
Yes, sir! Though actually, I'm the supply manager.
I see.
I found this.
Is it a lost item?
Yeah.
Those are...
It's anime.
It's from Japan.
I found it in the locker area.
Someone's probably looking for them so please give them back to him for me.
Understood.
Then, could you please sign the record book?
Sorry, I'm in a hurry!
Sergeant?
Take care of the rest for me!
Seriously, these are the regulations...
It's all right. Besides, these aren't exceedingly expensive items anyway.
Thank you.
So, regarding the Captain's lost item...
No one's reported anything since yesterday.
I see.
What did you lose?
I'll inform you if someone brings it in later.
N-No, it's fine. I'll come again.
Captain!
Good morning.
Ah, Grouseaux-san.
Have you lost something as well?
And you look rather tired too.
I've stayed up way too many nights.
But I've finally finished everything.
So I plan to take a good rest today.
I see. That's great.
I was planning to watch a few movies in my cabin.
But the video media went missing.
Video media?
Yes. They were delivered yesterday.
I had placed them in the locker room, but...
If that's the case, they were brought in here just moments ago.
Right?
Yes. It's right here.
Is that it?
Y-Yes. Indeed, these are mine.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Isn't it great, Grouseaux-san?
Huh? Yes.
Captain...
Yes?
Umm...
If it's possible,
could you please not tell anyone I like to watch such movies?
Sure, but why?
I'm Uruz-1, the leader of the Special Response Team.
Yes.
To rein in my subordinates, I must set an example.
It'll be a problem if they think I'm a sentimental person.
Is that so?
Yes, it definitely is!
Nevertheless, I watch this genre occasionally to relax myself.
And in order to obtain the latest information, I secretly subscribe to Newtype USA!
If my subordinates knew about this...
it would be exceedingly inconvenient!
It would affect morale.
B-But it doesn't really matter, does it? It's just anime...
No, it is not!
It's not that I am concerned about what people think of me.
But in the interest of my squadron's morale, I beg of you...!
If it's such a concern,
how about not watching them anymore?
What?!
That's...
I-If that is the...
C-Captain's orders...
I-I'll obey...
No, b-but t-this is... t-too...!
First Lieutenant, it's just a joke!
I won't tell anyone, so please rest assured!
Oh... Thank you very much, Captain.
Same goes for you, Second-Class Private!
Don't tell anyone about this.
Y-Yes, sir!
Now, if you will excuse me.
To think that he, of all people...
So Captain, what is it that you lost?
N-No, it's all right!
Just where did I drop my stuffed animal?
Normally, I would just stay asleep where I am.
Why did I leave the room?
Oh... the telephone!
Somone called me!
That's right! Kalinin-san!
After taking the call, I left the room,
and then...
What happened?
Officers Quarters
Yes.
Captain...
Um, Kalinin-san...
I'm sorry to intrude on your day off.
If I'm interrupting anything...
No, do come in.
Please.
Then, excuse me...
Captain, have you had lunch yet?
I was just making a special Borsch.
Kalinin-san's cooking?
Yes.
Then I'll have some.
It's my honor.
Let's ask Sergeant Sagara-san to join us while we're at it.
It's me, Sergeant.
I happened to make the Borsch again.
How about joining us?
Yes.
What's wrong? Your voice has changed.
No.
Really? I understand.
Unfortunately, he already has another appointment.
I see...
Then, please wait a moment.
Approximately 245 seconds to completion.
Huh?
242 seconds.
Kalinin-san...
You called me last night, right?
Affirmative.
What did we talk about?
My memory is slightly blurred...
Ah, that matter.
I wanted to conduct a simple test of the base's early warning system...
...and I sought your approval to conduct the test.
Ah!
You approved it right away.
You said that you would come to watch the test.
and that you would be a little late, so we should proceed without you.
I began the test upon your approval.
Later, I received news that the Captain would...
...would not attend.
I assumed you must have been tired from the day's demanding work,
so we ended it.
I see. Then, who contacted you?
Commander Mardukas.
M-Mardukas-san?!
Yes, at 0300H.
Which means I bumped into that noisy mother hen, staggering about drunkenly and dressed horribly.
This is bad. What should I do?
Cooking?
It's done.
This is my best attempt at the dish so far.
Best attempt?
This is my deceased wife's specialty.
I kept experimenting to recreate the taste.
That's what Borsch is.
I finally completed it here today with my hard work.
What the previous Borsch attempts lacked were...
Cocoa powder and Miso paste.
Huh?
Cocoa powder and Miso paste.
It's a Borsch, right?
Yes, cocoa powder and miso paste are vital.
Now, please go ahead, Captain.
I-It's d-delicious...
I'm so glad.
Yes, this is it. Delicious.
T-This is it? I-It's d-delicious?
Yes, this is indeed how she used to make it.
My wife often scolded me because I was frequently away on military missions.
But whenever I returned after completing my mission,
my wife never complained and she would make me this Borsch.
She always doubted me whenever I said it was delicious.
But now she's...
No, I'll stop with the story there.
Wasn't she just trying to get even with him?
What did you say?
No, nothing!
I see.
Please, have some more.
I made enough for five people.
Now I understand why Sagara-san excused himself.
I-I thought I was going to die.
Next is Mardukas-san's place.
I don't feel up to it...
Weber-san?
Move aside!
Umm...?
Tell him I ran that way. Thanks.
Grouseaux-san?
Captain! Have you seen Sergeant Weber anywhere?!
He ran that way.
Thank you!
Please wait, Grouseaux-san!
What happened?
That's...
It's about the...
...video media!
I was watching them in my room earlier.
Someone tampered with the video?
Yes! It was a magnificent psychological tactic.
My emotions were ravaged!
But I know the culprit.
I will make him pay for the sin of defiling a masterpiece!
If you will excuse me!
Finally I've gotten my revenge for the other day.
Um, this is...
Ah, well,
I just tampered with them a bit before delivering them to the Lost & Found.
I added some shocking footage to the touching moments.
Weber-san, that's going too far.
Really?
Really.
Everyone has something they treasure.
Please apologize properly to him later.
That's an order.
But, you know, I don't think that First Lieutenant will... so easily...
Weber!
There you are!
Sergeant Kurz Weber.
Your sin is deeper than the sea.
There are some things things one can do and some that one absolutely cannot.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Even if it indeed was me, what are you going to do?
I'll kill you!
Bring it on!
I will never forgive you!
Is this something a real man should be serious about?!
No! Please stop-!
Stop it, you two!
Geez, I said stop it! Stop!
Stop right there!
Mardukas-san.
When I came out to see what this ruckus was about...
Didn't you hear the Captain's orders?!
First Lieutenant Grouseaux, as an officer you're supposed to set an example! What is this?!
Yes, sir! I have nothing to say! I will reflect on my actions deeply!
That's right, reflect deeply, man.
You shut up too, Sergeant!
Fighting in a place like this is outrageous!
Why don't you realize that your behavior is a great waste of your capability?
Haven't you thought that your energy is better spent elsewhere?
Youth is an asset!
What are you doing wasting your precious youth on trifling fights?
When I was your age, I worked hard to learn various knowledge and techniques.
I was so busy studying that I didn't have time to be fighting!
Call it a boring youth if you want.
To sum it up, that's about it. Understood?
Yes.
Good. Then you're dismissed.
My, my, they're really quite a handful.
Our unit is full of young people.
They are talented but their egos are too big.
Captain, are you feeling all right?
No, it's about last night.
I'm really sorry.
As the commander of so many people,
I realize that it was an unacceptable action.
It won't happen again.
Huh?
I don't fully understand.
The fact that you couldn't attend a simple test of the early warning system...
Was missing it such a big problem?
B-But weren't you the one who told Kalinin-san I couldn't attend.
Yes. That is what I was told too.
"The Captain is tired and will not be able to come today."
and, "Please also tell Major Kalinin that too."
I relayed that to the Major word for word.
Oh. I see...
Captain, is there a problem?
No! There is no problem at all!
There is no problem. You're dismissed.
But let me confirm one thing.
Who told you I wouldn't be attending?
That was...
Sergeant Sagara.
Come to think of it, it's about time for him to return to Tokyo.
Yes, it was Sagara-san.
I was drunk and wandered into the docking area where the Danaan was harbored.
Captain.
Sagara-san...
Captain, are you all right?
I said many awful things.
Leave me alone!
Surely Kaname-san is more important to you, right?
No, there is no such thing.
When he said he would walk me to my room,
I said "My home is here" and even ordered him.
There I fell asleep in the commander's seat...
He is going back soon!
I must apologize to him! I must thank him!
I must properly tell him how I feel about him!
Sagara-san!
Captain.
It seems like I caused you a lot of problems.
I would like to apologize.
Sagara-san, I'm sorry.
I... But... Um...
I love you! Please don't hate me!
I am sorry, Captain.
I hate it.
You shouldn't say you love alcohol in front of your subordinates.
What?
Alcohol destroys brain cells!
If you want to stay in this line of work, you should ease off on the alcohol!
All right, Tessa?!
This is my advice as a friend!
Please don't drink anymore!
I'll keep last night's event a secret!
W-Wait!
Sergeant, we're taking off!
Understood.
Sagara! I wasn't talking about alcohol!
I gave your stuffed toy to Mao earlier, so don't worry!
Please listen to me!
You've got it all wrong!
Wait a minute, why did it turn out like this?!
I can't believe it!
That guy really is good-for-nothing!
And after I gathered all my courage too!
Well, maybe you weren't pushing it enough, since that blockhead was your target.
You're acting as if none of this has to do with you.
Really?
It all started because you made me drink alcohol!
Sorry.
I'm off to bed.
Tessa?
Yes?
How was your day?
It was a horrible day!
I see.
But... I wish that every day was like today.
I think so, too!
Well, good night!
Good night, Tessa!
Yes!
