"501st, Head Out To Shop?"

It's payday!

Miyafuji, you've done a great job this month.

Thank you!

Is this right? There's so much in here...

Don't worry about it.

It's your reward for stopping the Neuroi advance.

"Pay"

The Neuroi didn't try to advance a single time in the last month, though.

Take it with pride!

It's the reward for your labor.

All I did was help with the chores.

Keeping everyone in peak condition is an important part of the job.

Nobody's going to complain.

Th-Thank you.

I mean it.

There's a lot of people who really haven't done a damn thing.

Man, I worked really hard this month!

I thought I'd die of overwork.

We're going shopping today. Is there anything you want to buy with your paycheck?

Well... There are some things I'd want. Recipes, some kitchen utensils...

But I would say the number one thing I want is to not be in a car where Charlotte's driving.

I understand, but that's going to be difficult.

Everybody else feels the same way.

Time to start the "Who Rides With Shirley" rock-paper-scissors game!

So Miyafuji and Barkhorn are riding with me, huh?

Please drive safely...

Can I go with you?

Lynne?!

Thank you, Lynne!

It's nothing, Yoshika.

Perk up!

Sorry...

Okay, today's the day I'm going to set a new record!

Record?

Oh, they're gone already?

Yeah, they just left.

Who ended up going?

Miyafuji, Lynne, and Trude.

Well, that's not good...

You forget to ask them to get something?

Shall I make lunch for us, then?

Our chef for the day just left.

N-No, there's no need for that!

It's not a bother at all! I love to cook!

You know, it's been a while since we've had rations for lunch!

Yeah, it'd be just like old times!

Well, I guess that's okay.

I'll make dinner then!

Miyafuji, come back!

You two okay?

I'm slightly regretting coming along...

Aww, you guys are wimps!

I took 30 minutes off our trip time for your sakes!

Yeah, all those cliff jumps and all that river fording probably took some time off.

It's lunchtime already?

There's a really nice café near here.

Want to eat there?

Wow, you really know this place, huh Lynne?

It's so peaceful...

What do you think the others are doing right now?

Probably having fun, like always?

We got through lunch, but I don't see any way of surviving dinner.

We need to do something.

The problem is, there's nobody here who can cook.

What can we do with the cards we have?

I'll just have to look into the future to get us through this.

My savior!

It must be hard to do all the cooking alone, Wing Commander.

I've come to help.

I know exactly what you're thinking.

You're worried because my sense of taste is a little different than yours, right?

You knew?

Miyafuji's Fuso-style cooking has expanded my taste horizons!

Yes! It's taught me that stinky means delicious!

I-Is she just getting worse?

Don't worry.

May I say something, Wing Commander?

What is it?

The stinkier the better, right?

Yeah!

What are you doing?

The stinky beans and fermented bean soup that Miyafuji makes, the stinky fish...

It's all great, isn't it?

The stinkier the better. Perhaps that is the true secret of cooking.

Right? Right?

Someone, come save me!

It's thanks to Miyafuji!

"Surströmming"

And I've got just the thing saved for this!

Canned baltic herring! It smells great!

How great?

Imagine rotting garbage, but more intense.

Somebody save me! Save me!

But canned herring's not too much different than rations, right?

--I've got just the thing to flavor it. --My life is in danger!

"Ammonia"

Ammonia!

Neuroi! Come quick!

When you open the can the liquid bursts out, so be careful.

Let's at least open it outside!

Huh?

The can's swollen up, and I can't get the can opener to work.

That's your chance to stop!

Hmm? The cap on this is stuck, too.

That's God telling you to stop!

I know! Squadron Leader Sakamoto could cut right through the containers!

Yeah! Let's ask her to take care of both of them!

Listen to me...

"Sob"

They were going to open that stuff indoors?

I told them to at least do it outside!

Calm down. I'll tell them no.

Listen...

I'm sure you'll love it!

I know people from Fuso love fermented foods, so I really wanted to try it!

Y-Yeah?

I guess we can open it outside.

Tell them no!

There are things that even I can't say!

Okay, go ahead, Mio.

R-Right.

Good luck, Squadron Leader!

Isn't that a little too far away, Hartmann?

Go! Go! Squadron Leader! Go!

Here I go!

Squadron Leader!

No!

Don't try to stop me!

There's still time to save her!

"Decoy Fishing"

That's called decoy fishing! It's a trap to lure you in!

--This smell... it's like you're being embraced by life itself. --Squadron Leader! Squadron Leader!

And this will make it even better.

Is this everything on the shopping list?

And now, a message from our sponsors.

Attention all members of the 501st who are in town!

Squadron Leader Sakamoto has collapsed!

Please return to base immediately!

We don't know how long we'll be able to evade them!

That was a message from Perrine Clostermann!

Why is Perrine running radio ads?

I don't know, but we need to get back now!

Get in! We're heading back at top speed!

Get in, quickly!

Can we go back in our Striker Units?

Trust me.

Wait, everyone.

With us gone, who do you think will try to cook at the base?

I guess we could head back after dinner.

Can't fight on an empty stomach.

I'll drive safely on the way home!

"Decoy Fishing"

No, Eila!

--Sanya and Eila fighting? That's rare. --I've made my choice!

And Miyafuji is trying to mediate...

Eila, calm down!

What's going on here?

We don't know what'll happen! I should go!

How did this happen?

Think about your condition!

What happened?

Eila, get back to your bedroom and rest!

It seems like something really bad...

Why don't you understand?!

Gulp.

You're not going to stop them?

Listen up. It's time.

Let's go, Yoshika.

Yeah... but wait a second.

Eila, I made you a meal.

Please eat it later.

Oh, that's what the knife was for.

So, why were they fighting?

Well you see..

Eila ?!

I see. A cold, huh?

She's sick, but she's still insisting on going with Sanya on her patrol.

Hmm, how do we help her get better?

That's right. You wanted to be a doctor.

First, let's lower her fever.

Squadron Leader, I'm going to take her clothes off. Help me.

To wipe off the sweat, right?

We strip her naked and throw her outside.

Wait! Wait!

A wet towel... It feels so nice and cold.

Who's that?

Sanya?

You feel much better now, right?

It felt like you had the most wonderful dream, didn't it?

I thought I'd died and gone to the afterlife!

Hey, Squadron Leader.

Was Sanya mad?

Yup.

Want me to tell you an easy way to get back in her good graces?

Yes! Yes!

You already feel like you're at fault, right?

So you've cleared the most difficult hurdle already.

The next step is Ghandi-style non-resistance.

Just let her punch your face in and then run to Miyafuji,

and it'll all be fine!

"Gori.."

That's a little beyond me, I think...

Well, just from looking at you two fighting,

I think you should be a little bit more open about how you really feel.

I'm a pro at that. Want to hear my opinion?

No.

Don't overthink it.

You fought because you both cared so much about each other.

Mina once pointed a gun at me and said it was for my own sake.

But that hasn't put any walls between us.

That's a little beyond me...

She's asleep.

Now we just let her get some rest.

"Mmph... Sanya..."

Should we leave this here so she won't be lonely?

Maybe we should, from the look of things.

Okay, night!

We're back!

Is Eila okay?

Yeah. I think she's still asleep, but go pay her a visit.

Eila, how are you...

Where did Hartmann go?

She was just here, filing a form to go off base...

"Yamakawa Michiko's Strike Witches Classroom"

Hi everybody!

It's time for Yamakawa Michiko's Strike Witches Classroom!

Today I'll introduce you to Shirley, AKA Charlotte E. Yeager.

She's from Liberion,

and once tried to break the world speed record on her motorcycle.

And after she succeeded,

she joined the military to try and break the speed of sound in a Striker Unit.

Almost instantly she became a top ace, and was assigned to the 501st.

She's a genius witch that's head and shoulders above the rest!

Her inherent ability is "Speed Boost."

Even the fastest Neuroi is no match for her!

It's the perfect ability for her, isn't it?

She's known as "Glamorous Shirley" because of her amazing body,

and she's often used for military propaganda posters.

But she's also a witch you can look up to,

who always keeps an eye on the big picture,

and can view things calmly and objectively.

"Yamakawa Michiko's Strike Witches Classroom"

Yoshika's so amazing, the way she gets to be with such an incredible person!

It's me, Yamakawa Michiko from Fuso.

You know about the European festival called "Halloween," right?

I wonder if Yoshika's having a good time?

Next time: "501st, It's Time For Halloween?"

You've never seen witches like these before!
