So on! So on!

Good morning, Alice.

OK, OK.

We really don't need an alarm clock.

Here you go.

Alice!

When you're done eating, go wake up the sleepyheads!

I'll definitely go into space!

I won't lose!

I won't be beaten!

Oh, you! You're heavy so get off of me!

Oh, Mikaze!

Don't shriek like that this early in the morning!

Oh, you're so loud!

Give me a break from this way of waking up.

Hey, good morning, Admiral.

Always a fine job with your guard duty.

Here! Today's snack.

Argh! This is because you're such a slowpoke, Mikaze!

But I'm still under disciplinary probation.

Even so, there are classes as usual.

Yikes! We're cutting it close!

Miss Ran, we're borrowing the bikes!

We get a lot of penalties as is!

Oh, we're going without breakfast again!

And whose fault is that?!

Mikaze!

Good morning, Commander.

Hm. Good morning.

According to headquarters' observational report...

...the next batch of meteors are mostly being absorbed by Jupiter...

...so, there's little likelihood of needing a pursuit for a while.

I see.

I hope it'll always remain this way from now o...

Hm?

Hurry!

Three minutes left!

I'm so hungry, I can't move!

Shut up and run!

I... I'm sorry!

I'll give them proper guidance later!

Safe by the skin of our teeth!

I can't take this anymore!

Alice, we're about to open the restaurant.

Alice?

Huh? Where has Alice gone?

Grandma, Alice isn't around.

She's probably on patrol around the neighborhood.

I see. Then she'll be back for lunch.

One, two. One, two. One, two. One, two.

Say, what number would you be?

Huh? What are you talking about?

What else?

Among those chicks...

...who do you think is a good one?

Uh... Is that all you ever think about?!

Hey, I tend to my duties.

That second girl from the rear might be...

...the type whose clothes make her look thinner!

Keep that up, idiot.

To receive disciplinary action, at my age...

Miharu!

Miharu, wait!

Miharu!

We were so much in love back then.

Miharu!

Shower Room

Yeesh. I'm drenched in sweat.

Huh? What the...?

At this rate, I'll end up a dehydrated prune.

You have plenty of reserves in your chest and butt.

So there's no need to worry.

Hey, how dare you say that!

Shower Room

A peeping pervert! Aaa! Shower Room

Shower Room

You'll pay for that!

It's hot.

This wasn't mentioned among the list of my penalties.

Not flying and the pay cut are penalties by the organization.

Dishwashing is the penalty from the Shimoji Island base.

Understand?

But this isn't a dish. It's a pot...

Stop complaining, hurry up and clean!

Huh?

Yes ma'am!

Huh!

Admiral? What are you doing here, anyway?

Hey!

What's the matter?

A cat! Cat!

Hold it, hold it.

Teachers' Room

Hey you cat burglar!

Hold it!

I'm the one who's going to get into trouble!

Oh, why is there a cat inside the base?

Mikaze! This is all your doing again, isn't it?

That's not it. She did this all on her own.

Hold it!

Mikaze!

Hold it, you!

You'll pay for this!

Jeez, that good for nothing...

One, two, three...

Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh huh?

It's gone!

One vital data chip...

...is gone!

Pilot candidate Mikaze Honjyo.

Come to the staff room immediately!

I repeat. Pilot candidate Mikaze Honjyo!

If you don't hurry to the staff room...

...your penalties will increase!

Getting Ready. Now serving Cold Chinese Noodles.

Alice isn't coming back.

Well, there are no car accidents on this island...

...so there's no need to worry.

Well, that's true.

Teachers' Room

Oh, what should I do?

What's the matter, Ms. Kisaragi?

An important data chip addressed to the...

...commander from headquarters is now missing!

It's a triple-A rank...

...so they need to be transmitted within three hours.

What should I do?

Hey, hey...

Do you have any ideas?

Well...

Mikaze Honjyo, reporting.

Hey, you! Where did you put the data chip?

Data chip!

Where is it? Say it!

Where's the data chip?!

C... cat, cat. Where's the data chip?!

C... cat, cat.

Cat?!

Emergency situation!

Emergency situation!

Unassigned staff and crew, please join the search!

So why are we...

...searching the base for a cat, anyway?

It's very important to the base!

Stop complaining and just look!

Yeah, yeah.

Admiral!

Where are you!

Admiral!

Hey, I'll give you a snack so please come out!

Come on out while it's still funny!

But don't come out in front of me.

She doesn't seem to be near the vicinity of the runway.

Thanks to her, I'm now treated as a peeping pervert.

That's what you usually are, though.

Hey, come on out!

Geez. Why do I have to dress up like this?

I don't want to either!

We were so passionate about flying...

...that thing together once...

Miharu...

Admiral!

Hey! Come on out you fatass cat!

If you put me through any more trouble...

...you're not getting off easy!

Hey, Mr. Sako. Has Admiral come this way?

Miharu. Why... no...

Haha. I'm just a loser.

I'm just trash... trash...

This isn't working. I'm just trash... trash...

I'm just trash... trash...

Alice, dinner!

What should I do, Grandma?

Well, she might be staying the night somewhere.

I'll go look around the neighborhood.

No need to worry.

She may not look it but she's rather perseverant.

Yeah, you're right.

Admiral... Admiral!

I'm not angry so please come out!

Dressing Room I'm not angry so please come out!

Dressing Room

Hey, you fatass cat!

Where are you?!

Eeek! The peeping pervert! Oh, no!

Uh... I'm cleaning the restroom.

Long time no see, Alice.

As soon as I saw your face, the scar on my ear began to ache.

Humph.

Thought you left the island already, you relentless bastard.

This time, I'll carve a few memories into your face!

Could I have... found them?

Heh.

For someone who's exhausted,

For someone who's exhausted, you sure put up a pointless struggle.

Don't get the wrong idea. You're just a scummy wimp.

Just die already!

Victory is mine!

This is really bad!

Huh? Where, Karin?

O... over there.

Huh? Where?

They were there.

That punk!

She's not getting off so easily!

Shh! Talk too loud and they'll notice!

Hey! Admiral!

Awww... They may be cats...

But they're different cats altogether.

Karin!

Can't you tell the difference between Admiral and other cats?

Well, uh... that's not it...

Oh, no! Time's up!

I'll take responsibility by resigning...

...then go back to attend marriage interviews...

...marry someone I don't want and...

...then live the rest of my life in regret!

A... anyway...

...isn't it best to report this to the commander?

Hey, he might be able to do something.

There's no need to jump to conclusions.

Yeah, you're right.

Hey! Admiral!

Is something the matter, Ms. Kisaragi?

Commander, that cat had the triple-A data chip!

Is this it?

Yes! That! That's it!

She delivered it to me.

Headquarters was in a hurry to get it, so I sent it already.

Was there a problem?

Oh, nothing.

I see.

Excuse me.

Ran, another bottle of beer, please.

All right!

Well, while we didn't know...

...we sure put you through a lot of trouble.

This one's on the house!

Feel free to party!

Lucky!

You're really planning on keeping that cat?

Yeah. I thought about naming it "General".

Oh, you keep playing with the cat, Instructor Iwasaki.

Please play with me too!

Hey, hey.

Miss, I'd like another helping of Oolong tea.

Sir, could you take these plates?

Sure.

To think, I'm receiving punishment at my age.

Why am I not allowed to party?

Disciplinary action and pay cuts are handled by the organization.

Taking care of the party is...

Penalty handed down by the Shimoji Island base.

I know!

Very good!

Now work. Work.

Yeah...

Hey, Miss. Another helping.

Don't call me that, you peeping pervert!

Hey, Miss! Another helping!
