I don't know what I should do.
But!
This is wrong!
I don't like this!
Don't even think about escaping.
"Aircraft Carrier Ark Royal "
We've got an eye on you.
"Aircraft Carrier Ark Royal " But it's not like we're trying to eat you alive or anything.
Is this the Azur Lane base?
You know a lot, as expected. You did your research.
After the battle...
...you were unconscious and we picked you up.
Officially, you're a prisoner of war.
What about those two? How are they?
Worried about them, are you?
Seriously, that was really reckless of you.
A thoughtless charge, in order to save an enemy.
I have to say, it's not something we'd give out medals for.
I'm sorry.
Please wait. I am the one who set them off.
It is I who should be held responsible.
You say that, but...
We need to send the right message to the others.
So it's decided, then.
Laffey, Javelin, as punishment for your actions,
the two of you are assigned to prisoner supervision duties.
Prisoners of war need to be taken good care of. Those are the rules.
So that means...
We're counting on you.
Yes!
I can't believe I let them have such a sweet deal.
Don't overthink it.
That's right.
Coffee, tea, and life in general...
Being sweet makes everything better.
At any rate... This here is the real problem.
The Cube...
Ever since that battle,
the Cube has been behaving quite abnormally.
Unfortunately, there is no way to know what exactly this means.
The Black Mental Cube is the key to Project Orochi...
There is no doubt that this is part of a plot by the Sirens.
This probably has something to do with my sister, right?
How is Enterprise?
We are performing diagnostics on her body and her gear,
but so far, we have not found anything out of the ordinary.
I always thought she was an exceptional ship, but...
Back there, Enterprise was... terrifying.
Oh, there you are.
Your checkups aren't done yet.
You need to stay put.
Yes... Sorry.
Enterprise...
Are you okay?
Yes.
No matter what happens, for now, there is no choice for us but to fight.
Don't you agree?
Enterprise...
I don't understand, Yorktown.
The beauty of the ocean, the emotions placed on my name...
I don't understand a thing.
First off, we have to go buy the things you'll need!
You'll be living here for a while, so you'll be needing things.
The shop has things.
Yeah, let's go!
Hey! Over here!
"Light Aircraft Carrier Borg "
Wow! Cool!
A promising rookie has arrived!
You must be the ship Ayanami.
"Destroyer Charles Ausburne "
"Destroyer Thatcher " "Destroyer Aulick " Yay! A new girl!
"Destroyer Thatcher " "Destroyer Aulick " Yep, that's got to be the one, leader!
That's the girl from Sakura Empire!
"Destroyer Foote " "Destroyer Spence " S-Sakura Empire?!
I heard the stories.
I heard you fought to protect your Sakura Empire friends.
Putting yourself in harm's way to save a friend...
That's justice!
Laffey, Javelin, you two did great as well.
You're an ally of justice, too.
If you need any help, we Little Beavers will be there for you.
Um, thanks.
See you again soon. Justice calls!
E-Excuse me!
Let's play games together sometime!
Don't worry.
Nobody thinks badly of you.
Come on, let's go!
This feels... weird.
Welcome.
What are you doing here, Akashi?
I can do business anywhere in the world as long as there are customers.
Hey, any chance of a discount on this?
Not even in the slightest.
Boo! Stingy!
After Akashi came, the selections got better!
We were all worried about you.
Akagi, with the Sirens...?
Akagi can be scary, but she wasn't the type to go behind her friends' backs.
What's going to happen to the Sakura Empire?
I don't know...
Hey, Ayanami!
Which one do you like?
Come on, pick!
This one, for sure.
Ayanami!
Ayanami... Captured by the enemy...
I'm sorry... I couldn't bring her back.
No, Zuikaku, it's not your fault...
Is Ayanami okay? Are they bullying her?
She's not a lucky ship like I, Yukikaze, am...
So maybe...
--I was supposed to be the rear guard, --Ayanami!
but she saved me instead...
Hey, hey! You all are getting too negative!
What if they weren't feeding her...?
What if she was the only one not being served meat...?
If only I had been stronger...
What is this heavy mood?!
So Akagi did not return.
We lost Akagi, the commander of the entire operation,
and the Black Box remains in Azur Lane's hands.
The situation is quite serious.
Kaga strongly insists on pushing forward with Project Orochi.
Are you suspicious of her?
It's too dangerous to move forward with the project.
Doubting a friend is the last thing I want to do, but...
"Battleship Mutsu "
"Destroyer Kawakaze "
Thank you for waiting.
Things are getting really serious out here.
The Sakura Empire are in a perilous situation.
We Iron Blood are their allies. Shouldn't we be taking action at this time?
Are you suggesting we attack Sakura Empire while they are confused?
Z23, that's very sinister of you.
You know that's not what I meant!
I'm just joking.
You just can't wait to go rescue Ayanami.
You two seemed close... Maybe a bit too close.
I-It's nothing personal like that! It's not!
But she's right that this is the right time to make a move.
What are we going to do?
H-Here is your anmitsu ...
Oh, how cute.
I can eat you whole.
Miss, please refrain!
Pay attention!
Well then.
What to do.
Nice shot.
Impressive as always, Your Majesty.
Nice shot!
What are the Sirens?
Our enemy--from where do they come and what do they seek?
The question we've asked so many times.
There's no way to come up with an answer,
but why do the Sirens interact with humanity?
If their goal was to eradicate humanity, they don't need to be so indirect.
The key to this is Project Orochi, and...
Nice par!
Enterprise, Your Majesty?
Come to think of it, Illustrious always had an eye on Enterprise.
She really has an uncanny wit.
That's why I assigned Belfast to Enterprise.
I wonder if Belfast sees something in her?
What we had feared has come true.
You must have noticed, about Enterprise.
No matter how powerful she is, her heart is still delicate and at risk.
We all know it.
It was unavoidable.
Enterprise must now face herself.
Will she recover?
I cannot say.
I think Enterprise is afraid of the sea.
But still, she saved me.
Yes, you are correct.
Where are we going? Away from the base?
Akashi took care of the daily necessities, so...
Today, we're...
Good day.
Illustrious and Unicorn!
What are you doing out here?
Well, we're...
On a date.
Huh?
It's busy out here as always!
By date, you mean...
We play together.
Come on, Unicorn!
Wow! Looks delicious!
Let's eat!
Let's eat.
Oops.
Behold, the might of the Demon!
Bring it.
Come on, mind your manners.
Can't they be classier?
Priceless...
Ark Royal, your nose is bleeding.
What's the food like in Sakura Empire?
It's the same.
The same?
The grown ups and the younger ones are all friendly together.
Sharing delicious meals.
The same.
Are you okay?!
It's a shallow cut.
D-Don't worry, I will disinfect this...
Million headbutt!
The Orochi awakens, with the wills of countless souls embedded in its body.
The Orochi contains everything.
It has travelled every sea, collecting wills.
Wills...
That's right. Akagi's will is here as well.
You must not let it end.
Yes, that's right.
That's why I...
What is this, an escape?
I'm joking.
Having trouble sleeping?
I don't understand.
Azur Lane is my enemy.
But everyone is so nice to me.
The fighting, Sakura Empire...
The more I try to think about everything,
the less I understand anything.
I've been unable to understand anything for a while now.
Do you still want to fight?
I don't know.
I don't know, but...
I don't like fighting.
I see.
I am the same.
Thanks for finding U- chan that day.
I really didn't do anything.
I was an enemy spy, infiltrating this base...
But that's how we were able to meet.
How did you find such a great spot? You must have skills!
I'm Javelin, and this is...
--Laffey. --Unicorn.
Can I ask your name?
I'm Ayanami.
Nice to meet you.
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
