Geez, I can't believe he didn't see through the trick.
Some people are really retarded.
Don't tell me-
Don't!!!
It was just me?
One per person!
Only one per person!
Here you go.
Where's Oreld?
Oreld?
I'll go find him.
Only one per person.
Oh, come on, what are you doing here?
What do you mean?
I'm doing my job.
Come, come, all women line up over here.
You're pretty cute, so I think I'll give you two sheets.
And you can have my address.
I'll be waiting!
O-Oh... Wrong person...
Excuse me...
Ah, sorry, sorry.
Huh?
We're home!
We're back!
Oreld!
What time do you think it is?
You can only take the girls out for two hours.
My bad, my bad.
If anything were to happen to these girls,
how would you compensate me for it?
We bought some sausage, everyone!
Not listening, huh?
I shall be leaving first, then.
Okay.
Have some before you go.
She's...
Was she here before?
You mean Hannah?
She's been here.
Welcome.
You coming two days in a row, that's rare.
Unfortunately, Mary and Kathy have off today.
Darn, really?
Then I'll keep myself happy with you, Madam.
Hmph, a little arrogant, aren't we?
Something wrong with Hannah?
Oh, just that she's really been here.
You did say something like that yesterday.
Is she always like that?
Something about her aura seems different.
It's like she's not really smiling or something.
Perhaps.
She came here when she was only seventeen.
When she lost her parents and had nowhere to go,
the owner here took her under his wing.
Even if it's to survive, this job is too painful for a seventeen-year old girl.
Also, she's waiting for her boyfriend who hasn't come back from the war yet.
War? The one with the Republic?
He was sent to the Neugelitz front four years ago.
His buddies dragged him over here the night before they left.
The guy looked like a kid.
See over there?
Those two just quietly held hands and sat there.
Captain Hunks, coffee for you.
Oreld, let's work hard today.
Oreld?
Is something wrong with Oreld?
I don't know either.
He's been like that the entire morning.
All men, prepare to sortie.
Today's mission is a patrol of the Haupt District.
Yes, sir.
Oreld!
Oreld, are you listening?!
Oreld, she's calling you.
WHAT?!
WHERE?! WHERE?!
Oh, it's just the LT.
"It's just the LT"?
Oreld!
What's with your attitude?!
C-Calm down, please!
You've been too lax this morning!
That's why they all mock us as the cheery unit!
Shape up already, dammit!
Calm down, please!
Oreld!
Gosh!
You want to take Hannah out?
Yeah.
Oh, here it is!
The presentation of this spaghetti may be bad, but the taste is wonderful.
Sorry if the presentation is bad.
Oh, go ahead and eat.
This is the fork, and this is the spoon.
You didn't enjoy your time with me?
Oh, no, I did.
Here.
I got leftovers today.
Hey.
Oreld!
What? What are you doing here?
Just dropping by.
Umm, umm...
Let's eat together?
She's not living.
Oreld said that?!
So something did happen.
You guys really haven't heard anything?
He didn't even tell you?
Then this must be a rather serious issue.
Why don't we ask him directly?
Ah, but he doesn't feel like talking about it.
He might be waiting for us to ask.
I'll ask him.
You can't!
If he wants to talk about it, he'll do so himself.
But he seems troubled.
Let's continue to look after him.
Machs!
Yes, sir!
Could I borrow some money?
Stekkin.
Ma-
-chs?
You couldn't sit still either, huh?
You, too?
Let's go.
Yes, sir.
This is...
Here he is.
Where are they going?
What do you think?
It feels good, right?
Let's go for another round!
In love?!
I'm pretty sure of this.
And the girl is an unfortunate call girl who has to sell herself to men in order to survive!
Your form by the window~
~that I see~
For this is an impossible affair~
Him in love...
The entirety of Section III should support him!
Is Oreld here?
He took out an army bike without permission!
The motor pool is furious!
Sorry, I asked him.
I forgot to file the papers for it.
So, yeah.
Right?
It's been a while.
Come here.
See? A wonderful scene, right?
The Imperial Army S.S. is over there,
and the Gelstow district is over there.
When I don't feel happy, I used to just come here as a kid.
Just being here makes me feel better.
I snuck this away from the army.
This drink is good, I tell ya.
Oops, there.
A toast as we watch over the Imperial City.
Why are you doing so much for me?
Why, you ask?
Hannah, you were standing on the Mainz Bridge, right?
You had a very sad look on you.
Just forget him... the guy that went to the war.
There's no point in thinking about a guy that'll never come back.
It's not like I don't understand your faith in him, but...
It's been three years since the war ended...
...and if he were alive, he'd be back already-
Frank will come back!
Frank will come back.
He promised me he would.
That may be, but...
At this rate, you'll-
Just leave me alone.
Damn it.
What a piece of shit.
What do you want?
Sorry, but I'm Hannah's customer!
What?
Now, there, Oreld.
Oh, I see.
You're the famous...
Don't worry, my dear.
I'll take care of things.
I'll take care of everything for you, Hannah.
Oreld!
What are you doing?!
Scum!
Hey!
Stop it!
Someone, someone come here!
That'll be enough, kiddo.
Don't interfere with me!
Save your energy, boy.
Damn, that hurts.
Gosh, that was a big mess you've caused.
Sorry.
I just got angry and...
But, where'd you pick up those bouncers?
There's a lot of relentless people like you,
so I need to hire people like them.
I just wanted Hannah to smile.
I wanted her to smile from her heart.
Don't get too conceited.
You want to make Hannah smile?
You think you can do that?
You have that ability in you?
Now, that's funny.
You can't accomplish that.
Neither can I.
No one can.
Hannah will smile from her heart when her boyfriend comes back...
...as empty as that may be.
The guy's dead already.
He's dead?
One letter that informed her "your boyfriend is dead"...
Who would accept that?!
Of course, she wouldn't accept that!
Right?!
He was killed in action?
That's how it is.
Her heart is forever shut.
Leave her alone if you understand.
That's what it means to be considerate.
A woman that keeps on waiting, huh?
There's a woman... that's still waiting for a man that went to the war to come back.
The problem is he's dead.
Why does she have to think about a dead guy so much?
To the point of becoming an empty shell, even.
But I can't leave her alone,
even though it's not like there's something I can do.
I think it's because it's not over yet.
The war is not over yet.
So, nobody can move on.
I was like that, too.
I couldn't accept the fact the war was over.
But, lately, I've been able to acknowledge that notion.
Bit by bit, though.
It was after I joined Section III.
So, I'm sure she's...
It's not over yet, huh?
Don't worry.
I will be back.
I will.
I promise you.
Frank!
You came back?
Frank!
Neugelitz was a battle that would decide the outcome of the war back then.
The Republic planned to strike the Imperial City right after taking Neugelitz.
The Imperial forces at Neugelitz were low on men and equipment.
Stop...
The Empire sent reinforcements from the Imperial City,
Please, stop!
the troops that were sent included the 7th Company-
Stop!!!
Frank is not dead!
There's no way he'd die...
Why is that?
Why do you not try to understand it?
He fought with his life...
...for this country...
...to protect you...
You must listen, Hannah.
You must know with what feelings he fought the war...
...what feelings he died with...
...so that you can live his part, as well.
The 7th Company departed the Imperial City and arrived at Neugelitz on February 5th.
The forces there were nearly all wiped out.
The Republic had three battalions, including one tank battalion.
In a temperature of -15 degrees Celsius,
the battleplan the 7th Company adopted was...
...an exhaustive trench warfare.
Without regard for the serious disadvantage,
they continued to fight.
Their supplies would run out three days later, though.
They did consider retreat,
but without knowing that reinforcements were on the way,
the 7th Company continued to fight.
Five days later, half of the men died from hunger and frost.
Yet, they still continued to fight...
...in order to protect... those they loved.
Later, the 7th Company would gain a temporary advantage,
but on February 15th,
the Republican Army's 3rd Battalion of the 4th Division arrived at Neugelitz.
Suddenly, the 7th Company was at a disadvantage again.
However, reinforcements were just fifty kilometers away from Neugelitz.
Just two more days...
No... if they could hang in there for one more day, there could be a chance of winning the battle.
By betting all their chances on this,
they continued to fight.
Their ammunition began to run out,
and only a third of the company was left.
They just needed to hold for one more day.
However, already depleted, the 7th Company was completely isolated.
And...
At 1400 on February 17th,
the entire company launched a final attack...
Heartbroken?
Me, heartbroken?
That's not it?
You're all into your work, unlike yesterday.
What are you guys thinking?!
I just can't leave those kind of women alone.
So, it's not about love?
Of course not.
I see.
Everyone's here, right?
Okay, let's go and give all we've got for war relief!
I got dumped... eh?
Mer-kun, do you know the meaning of Pumpkin Scissors?
The origins to the formation of S.S. III will now be told!
Please look forward to it!
Next time, "Pumpkins and Scissors".
Come get us if you're not scared!
