I see.
Very well.
What do you want to ask?
I'd like you to tell me about Yuuya Bridges.
He interests me.
You're kidding me!
Wanderer's Whereabouts
You're interested in Ensign Bridges?
As an Eishi.
I know he's considered be a talented Eishi.
But I don't believe that to be the case.
I was disappointed in the results of our joint exercise.
There was nothing to see in him.
Well...
That's my fault for forcing him to use a TSF I knew he wasn't familiar with.
Your development plan is having problems, I'm told.
And the fault lies with him.
You believe that to be the case as well?
That's...
Does he have some kind of special talent?
Is he really worthy of his reputation?
What does he have?
If you're that interested in him, you should ask him yourself.
Fortunately, he's on the island right now.
It's not me who's interested in him.
What does that mean?
It's Inia.
Ensign Sestina is interested in him?
Why?
I don't know.
I don't know, which is why I'm asking you.
This has never happened before.
And it's all since he came.
What does Ensign Sestina say about him?
I can't...
I can't ask that.
She's different.
I can't...
No, I can't! I just can't!
What's wrong?
She... She...
Calm down, Ensign Barchenowa.
What happened?
I'm fine.
I'm sorry I acted that way.
Don't worry about it.
You're not feeling well, you can't help it.
She...
She's delicate.
She's...
Lieutenant!
What's wrong?
It looks like the boat was washed away.
When dawn comes...
When dawn comes let's go to the beach and get a beacon and signal flare ready.
We should set up a watch.
We should also search the base of the river, and see where we might find food.
I have a question.
I want to know how long you believe it will take before the search teams find us.
This island isn't too far from Guadalupe base.
If we're lucky, almost immediately.
Even in the worst case only a week or so.
A week...
I'm sure she's worried.
She just collapsed yesterday.
The rain's slowed down. I'll go get some sticks.
Wait, Ensign.
I'll help you.
It's fine.
You can't move, can you?
I'll be right back.
I'll go with you.
You're still not back to full strength, are you?
Just lie down and re-
It will be fine. I won't embarrass myself like that anymore.
How can you be sure?
Because it's my own body.
Jeez, you're talking like you know why that happened.
Hey, are you listening?
It's alright, right Lt.?
You should ask him yourself.
I see now...
I'll allow it.
But don't separate from each other.
Are you serious?
Stay with Ensign Bridges at all times.
And don't strain yourself.
Understood?
Yes.
Hey...
What?
Um, are you really okay?
You're being annoying.
And I never asked you to believe me.
What's that for?
Did Stalin tell you it's wrong to worry about a comrade's safety?
Or maybe Lenin?
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Do you know you two are called the Scarlet Twins in the west?
I do.
You have a terrible reputation on our side.
And now I know why.
Your personality is damaging your reputation.
I understand that.
Enough talk about me.
Listen...
More importantly, what do you think about Inia?
What does that mean?
Just what I asked.
I'll change the question then.
Why are you asking me that?
I don't know why.
But Inia thinks about you a lot.
This has never happened before.
As her partner, I need to learn more about you.
I barely know anything about you.
And I don't know what to tell you anyway.
I'm the same way.
I don't know anything about you beyond what's in the base's database.
So in accordance with Lt. Takamura's orders, I'm asking you.
What did the Lt. say?
Anything I wanted to know I should ask you personally.
It makes sense.
That bitch...
That's it.
Of all the things I know, that's the one I have the most trouble understanding.
I've seen it several times since the beginning of this mission.
You and Lt. Takamura have clashed repeatedly.
What about it?
You and she are both Japanese.
Why do you both fight with each other so much?
But today...
I'm not Japanese.
You read the database.
Never make that mistake again.
Do you have some dislike of Japan?
I still don't understand.
An Eishi should be calm at all times.
For you to be so upset over something so small.
Anybody else might see it as small, sure.
But to me it's deadly serious.
You must have something you don't want to say to others,
or have said about you.
Do I?
Hey...
I never talk about myself out of honor.
Honor?
Not my own.
The motherland's. The party's. My squad's.
And that seems pretty stupid to me.
What?
You need to worry about yourself before you can worry about others.
First there's the person, then the group, then the country.
The opposite is impossible.
My own personal matters aren't...
Don't touch me!
Hey!
Are you okay?
Stay away from me.
Why do you keep forcing yourself?
Forcing myself?
You collapsed yesterday because you were putting too much stress on yourself right?
What do you think would've happened if the two of you had been caught in that storm alone?
I don't know what's so important to you,
but you might've gotten both of you killed back there.
I'm scared.
I'm scared of the sea.
The sea?
It scares me.
Both Inia and I have never seen the ocean, the real ocean, up close before.
You'd never seen it before?
Just looking at it is one thing.
I'm fine if I'm in a TSF.
But when I set out in a boat it felt like I was going to be dragged down into it...
What are you two doing?
Hmm... the rain's not stopping.
Is your leg okay?
It looks like you can walk with a stick...
I think you've got the wrong idea here, Lt.
What are you talking about?
I didn't do anything wrong, okay?
I was just...
I know.
Does something bother you then?
Nothing.
The mood in here is terrible.
Give me a break.
You're the one who told her to ask me anyway.
You just look like a kid sulking because they got left out.
Did you say something, Ensign?
Were you talking about me?
I didn't say who in specific.
Wait, is that how you see yourself?
Sulking?
Why would I be sulking?
Calm down, Lt.
Calm down?
Lieutenant!
I had a very worthwhile discussion with Ensign Bridges.
What?
It was a good opportunity.
I was only able to do so because of your suggestion.
Was it not what you intended?
N-No.
Lieutenant?
What is it that's bothering you?
I know you've had a problem with my attitude.
That's not the issue.
Then what is?
Y-You don't have a problem getting along with anybody who isn't Japanese.
Thus, as a Japanese person you and I will never get along.
Hey now!
I'm just confirming something I already knew.
That is all.
We'll sleep in shifts.
When it's my turn wake me up.
Lieutenant?
Just so I'm sure here...
Did you want to get along with me?
I-I didn't really mean it that way.
I'm sure.
Any communication or friendliness I showed you is simply for the sake of the plan.
Yeah.
I've got no intention of getting along unless I have to.
Don't misunderstand me.
In everything the clan comes first, and the mission comes first, huh?
Just like dear old Dad.
Do you mean your own dad?
Yeah.
I'd imagine that has something to do with your dislike of Japanese people.
Is your father Japanese?
Did your father do something bad to you then?
He left.
Before I was born.
Left?
I was raised by my mother in my grandparent's house.
But...
The Japs are sly and cowardly!
He used you and then threw you aside when you got in the way!
That's not true.
And you don't know the good parts of the Japanese!
They're humble and polite.
And diligent...
Wake up already!
In other words, you feel something similar to disgust and hatred for the father who abandoned you.
Is that right?
My father was a total asshole.
I never learned anything like that.
Aren't parents to be respected?
I don't really know myself.
Whether you hate them or they disgust you...
I think you're lucky you have parents at all.
What's this sound?
Cryska!
Inia?
That's them!
Look, look!
I hope we weren't interrupting anything!
Wait a second.
Maybe we should've waited till morning to come.
Those guys...
We're saved, huh?
Hmm, Lieutenant.
You're not going to come this far and back out, are you?
Well, no...
Everybody will watch over you, okay?
Now come on and give us a big reveal!
Lieutenant.
Going halfway actually makes you look sluttier.
You're the one who said you'd take responsibility
for getting shipwrecked yesterday, Lt. Takamura.
But I never thought I'd be ordered to do this...
We've been given permission to observe as part of our training.
Please don't worry about us, and get started.
Looks like they're ready over there already.
Geniune school swimsuits?
Those are vintage!
You're looking pretty good there, Scarlet Twins.
Look, the bear's got a swimsuit too!
So cute!
Is Lt. Takamura wearing a classic swimsuit like that?
Now let's start the photo shoot.
Will this do?
Indeed it will!
It's so cute how embarrassed Princess Yui is.
The gap between that and how she normally is is wonderful.
Right, Yuuya?
I don't...
Ensign Bridges!
You were involved in the accident too.
There's no need for you to observe.
Return to your post immediately!
But I was told to observe too...
Just get out of here.
Don't look at me.
What? After all that?
You're not going to tell me you're embarrassed, are you?
After all that?
You don't understand a thing, Yuuya.
That's not something you should say right now.
What are you talking about?
You've shamed a girl.
You really are such a child.
You're misunderstanding the situation.
That's right.
We didn't do...
Yes, we know Lieutenant.
You two decided you were going to act like nothing happened, right?
No!
Inia?
Hey, Cryska.
You were looking at Yuuya and Yui, weren't you?
Do you want to be friends with Yuuya, too?
I told you it's not like that!
We get it. We get it.
No, I'm not interested.
Can you feel it, Yuuya?
This is how the air feels on a battlefield.
Your beloved 94 Second will make it back unharmed. I promise.
All units, weapons free!
