Look, the ocean is so pretty today.
I've never felt that the ocean is beautiful.
From the moment we were born, the ocean was a place for war.
There's nothing beautiful about that.
Besides, Sister, the ocean is where you...
That's not true.
You're only forgetting.
We are ships, taking on the form of humans.
The beauty of the seas is engraved deep inside our souls.
One day, you'll remember what wishes the people placed in your name.
"Aircraft Carrier Yorktown " One day, you'll remember what wishes the people placed in your name.
Blessings to the azure lanes.
Enterprise, my dear little sister.
Yorktown... My sister...
Oh? You sound cute when you talk in your sleep.
Good morning. Did you sleep well?
You're...
"Light Cruiser Belfast "
I am Belfast, the maid.
Zuikaku!
Zuikaku?
A maid?! What kind of joke is this?!
She's dead serious.
Royal Navy, second ship in the Edinburgh class of light cruisers--Belfast.
She might look like a joke, but she's still a legendary warrior.
Don't underestimate her.
A pleasure to meet you again, Prinz Eugen of Iron Blood.
I must say, it is an unexpected pleasure to see you here.
Indeed. Perhaps it's not a bad idea to settle some old grudges out here,
far away from Iron Blood and Royal Navy.
I have no objections to your proposal, but...
That's...
I must remind you that we would be responding with all of our might.
"Battleship Warspite " I must remind you that we would be responding with all of our might.
"Battleship Hood "
"Light Cruiser Edinburgh " "Light Cruiser Sheffield "
"Battleship Queen Elizabeth "
The main Royal Navy fleet...
So. Have you made your decision?
I guess it's time to quit while we're ahead.
Listen now!
The next time I see you, you'd better apologize for not taking this seriously!
Hrm...
Ayanami.
Bye-bye. See you.
See you again, Azur Lane.
This isn't over, Grey Ghost!
Is something wrong?
I see... You saved me.
I'm sorry to have troubled you.
I am glad no serious harm was done.
Ma'am?
Perhaps you should rest?
These slight injuries are commonplace in wartime.
You were in grave danger.
Yes. I thank you for your assistance.
Breakfast is ready.
I have what I need.
♪ Fish and chips! Fish and... ♪
I'll make it much more delicious for you!
--You put ketchup on my fish and chips?!
--You're not gonna eat? --You put ketchup on my fish and chips?!
--You're not gonna eat? --Try it, it's yummy!
--Oh, sorry... I was thinking. --Try it, it's yummy!
--Oh, sorry... I was thinking. --Vinegar is the only way to eat fish and chips!
Really?
My fish and chips!
Actually, too sleepy. Time to quit.
Bye-bye. See you.
Hey, Laffey, why did you...
--Fish and chips...
--Never mind, it's nothing. --Fish and chips...
--Hey! Stop making a scene! --Fish and chips...
She saved not just the base, but the Hornet fleet, too.
There's no doubt that she is extremely powerful.
But our bad expectations were met, too.
If Belfast didn't intervene, who knows what would have happened...
Are you concerned about her?
She saved Unicorn.
I do not wish to see her get ground down over the course of the war.
In that case, perhaps we should have a word with Her Majesty.
I understand what you have come to tell me.
But isn't that an issue to be dealt with by the Eagle Union?
I don't feel it is appropriate for us to chime in.
That's...
But Enterprise saved me.
Her strength will surely be needed in the upcoming battles.
We cannot let her perish here.
You sound quite determined. May I ask why?
The holy light guides me.
That again?
We can't underestimate her intuition. Don't you agree?
Even if viewed purely as a fighting force, Enterprise is a key factor for this base.
We cannot ignore the issues that she has.
Warspite, what do you think?
I trust in your judgement, Your Majesty.
In that case, I will be the judge!
Let's see what kind of ship Enterprise really is!
Bel!
As you wish, Your Majesty.
Vestal!
Finally, a repair ship arrived!
I'm so relieved...
I'm so sorry to be late.
How is our sister, Yorktown?
She's...
As usual, I guess!
I see...
There!
What are you doing?!
She's my big sister! Don't worry.
So how is Enterprise doing?
You've been quite reckless, Enterprise.
I had no other choice.
Do I have to remind you again to take better care of yourself?
The reason of our existence is to fight.
Enterprise!
Oh, you are such a troublesome girl!
Unicorn would like to have a word with you. I will escort you to her.
Um...
You got me...
Yes! I won!
You're so cute, Saratoga!
How did this happen...?
Javelin, you look worried.
Laffey...
Best solution is to play.
You're kind of the source of my concern...
What is Hammann doing here...?
Come on! Eat well, sleep well, play well!
That's the key to having a good life!
Come on, you can do better, Saratoga!
San Diego?!
--Behind you! Behind you!
--Behin--? --Behind you! Behind you!
A shark?!
No!
Help m--
Stop!
Oh no, she's in trouble! Just wait--I'm on the case! Transform!
Witch-girl idol Saratoga- chan , officially making my debut!
Invincible magic!
Wait, what...?
We're more than just for fighting, you know?
What are they doing...?
Why would you do this so close to the water?!
I understand that relaxation is quite important as well.
We were just attacked.
That's precisely why.
She is calling for you.
Um...
Did you have business with me?
Well... I just wanted to thank you properly.
Enterprise, thank you for saving me!
Oh, you mean during that attack.
There is no need to thank me.
I just fulfilled my duties, as is expected of me.
But...
So pretty...
Look, Enterprise, the ocean is very pretty!
Everyone says the same thing.
I've never felt that the ocean is beautiful.
It reminds me of the roar of artillery, the smell of gunpowder.
The heat of a nearby flame, the cold of the water.
Those kinds of things.
The seas are battlefields. There is no beauty in that...
Are you afraid of the ocean?
Afraid? Me?
Unicorn!
Don't worry about me. Go join them.
Scrub, scrub, scrub!
That hurts!
How long do you intend to stay this way?
Don't you need to be with Unicorn?
It would be more desirable for her to stay with her companions.
I see. So, why are you following me around?
My queen has ordered me to discretely look into this,
but unfortunately, I lack the necessary skills for such subtlety.
What are you getting at?
Allow me to be blunt.
How long do you intend to continue fighting like you did?
It appears to me as though you are weary of fighting.
Meanwhile, however, you seem to be unconcerned with your own safety.
Your way of living is deeply flawed.
If you maintain this course, you will surely lose sight of your reason to fight.
It's starting to look rough...
Wales!
What is it?
I can't believe I have to get wet again...
Sorry about that.
But we can't ignore a distress call.
We should be getting close...
Did they lose their way in this storm?
Maybe...
Wait, Enterprise, what are you doing here?!
Your rig isn't repaired yet!
Do you always begin a mission in that state?
Wait! I see something up ahead!
Sirens, here?!
No, look closely.
They've already gone through battle...
Are the ships that sent out the distress signal fighting the Sirens?
That means we have to hurry! But...
In this storm, we can't even scout for enemies properly. We have to be careful...
Cover my flank.
Huh?
Why...? How...?
Why is she always like this?!
That must be it...
"Light Cruiser Ping Hai " "Light Cruiser Ning Hai "
This outfit...
She must be from the Dragon Empery.
Don't worry, I belong to the Azur Lane. We tracked your distress signal.
Did you defeat the Sirens around here?
Tell me what happened here.
We were being chased by the Sirens...
We beat them all, but my sister protected me...
Ning Hai?!
Ping Hai... Are you all right...?
Good...
Sister!
Don't worry, we're here to save you.
My companions will arrive shortly.
It's still moving?!
Run, Ping Hai...
No! This time, I'm protecting my big sister!
Over here!
I feel that I have a slightly better understanding of who you are.
You are... soft-hearted, Enterprise.
Belfast.
Let's go.
Yeah.
I apologize for this personal remark, but I have become interested in you.
What?
Please allow me to teach you...
...the proper decorum expected from a gentlewoman.
Huh?
The ripples seeing each other
Are messages exchanged with you
Connecting us across this blue ocean
Guideposts of light
Have you met someone nice?
Are your days filled with smiles?
Filling your melancholy eyes with light
When the starshine wanes in them
I'm close to you
Always by your side
you can't see the next day
I am calling out to your heart
Please stay with me
Please don't give up
Until the morning comes when we can hold hands
