Target destroyed.

Mission completed.

...return immediately!

There's no time! Hurry!

Roger!

OK! That's all.

You hurry, too.

Sure.

I'll leave the rest to you.

Roger.

Hurry!

Sorry to keep you waiting!

We're counting on you, Mr. Pilot!

Sure.

Please wait.

Huh?

Kouchin

Oh...

Feels so good!

Really, this feels like I'm coming back to life.

A mission and a pleasure trip on the same day.

For a moment, I wondered what would happen.

Huh?

Bon a petit.

Huh?

Hey, hey, Karin!

What are you doing, anyway?! Stop it!

Welcome Shimoji Island Intercept Base Pleasure Trip What are you doing, anyway?! Stop it!

Welcome Shimoji Island Intercept Base Pleasure Trip

Welcome Shimoji Island Intercept Base Pleasure Trip Ahhhh. Hot springs are delicious.

Welcome Shimoji Island Intercept Base Pleasure Trip

Welcome Shimoji Island Intercept Base Pleasure Trip If you're going to say anything...

If you're going to say anything...

...you should say it's fun instead!

Bleah.

The first group who headed off to the...

...company pleasure trip should have arrived.

They're probably relaxing by taking a...

...bath about now.

Bleah.

We need to wait another two days.

It's a company pleasure trip...

...but why are we going as two separate groups?

Are you stupid or something?!

We can't just leave the base empty!

Oh, I see.

By the way, sir.

Isn't this a good time to do something?

Heh. You mean this?

Yeah! Yeah!

I'm scheduled for procurement of supplies.

What about you?

There's a cute girl among the trainees and...

Yeah?

I'm thinking about talking to her later.

Really, really?

You guys up to your usual tricks again.

Don't say that.

Yeah!

It's the once a year company pleasure trip.

It's natural to want to have fun with a girl.

You dolt.

Haven't you seen the list?

All the women left as a part of the first group.

What? That can't be!

Crud, it's true!

What do you think of this, Mr. Sako?

Heh heh heh.

Hot springs brings back memories.

Huh?

It was the first fall we spent together after getting married.

The grand prize luckily won in a...

...lottery at the business district...

...Kusatsu's hot springs, where we could be alone.

Miharu coming out of the bath was so beautiful...

...you'd think she's not of this world.

Miharu!

What ever happened to that sweet person?!

What happened to me?!

Oh, boy.

Wow.

How beautiful.

We just came in earlier, but...

The sight is certainly a lot different.

Really...

It's just what the pamphlet says.

They say high temperature makes your skin look pretty.

I'll have to scrub myself down!

Planning on getting a boyfriend?

Huh?

Eh?

Wh... why are you all here?!

This is the men's bath!

That's a lie! This is the women's bath.

You're both right.

What?

The bath turns into mixed bathing at a certain time.

So, now is such a time.

Mixed Bathing

Mixed Bathing Mixed bathing?!

Ahem. I'm going out first...

So... that's to say...

Could you look the other way?

There's nothing to be concerned about.

What?!

It's not as though we're strangers.

We should take a bath together.

What?

Could Instructor Iwasaki and Miss Ran have been in...

...that kind of relationship?

What? Don't get the wrong idea!

That's not the case.

It just means I was looked after...

...at Kouchin, when I was a student!

A... anyway, nothing went on!

Oh, darn.

I was looking forward to it a little.

But the way he denies things...

...while getting angry arouses suspicion.

Instructor Iwasaki seems to have...

...some feelings for Miss Ran, too.

They might have even kissed, or something.

Smoooooch!

Hey! Give it a rest already! Smoooooch!

Hey! Give it a rest already!

Oh, no. He's blushing.

Hey, it seems a bit lively here.

What happened?!

Whoa.

I'm sorry!

How do I get into these predicaments?

Whoa, awesome love triangle.

Everyone should just take a bath together.

Instructor Iwasaki!

Will you please come with me?

I have something of importance to discuss.

Now...

Excuse me for not being able to join your fun.

This is some serious business concerning our mission.

Hey, Miss Kisaragi! Hey!

Wow. So much to do on a company pleasure trip. Hey, Miss Kisaragi! Hey!

Wow. So much to do on a company pleasure trip.

That was not pleasant.

Geez, that's not like you at all.

Now, what did you want to talk about?

Well...

It's about the inquiry board that investigated Mikaze.

What?

Their behavior towards the girls after...

...having failed a mission was too unnatural.

Yeah. I was concerned about that as well.

That's why I gathered some information on my own.

Did you discover anything?

Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything in general.

Though...

...the Cosmic Emergency Management Agency...

...is making some alarming moves.

This is no more than a guess, but...

They're definitely trying to hide something.

That's the only only thing I can think of.

Have you said anything to Mikaze and the others?

I've avoided speaking to them about this.

That's how it should be.

I don't want to drag them into this mess.

I agree.

I want them to go into space with a...

...pure heart like they have right now.

Anything about the inquiry board...

We'll keep it only at our level.

Of course.

We're loved. Quite a bit.

Saying so yourself, you're being far too outspoken.

Karin?

What's the matter? Karin?

See? I told you so.

You're really telling the truth, right?

You didn't see anything, is that right?

Really. Really. We didn't peep in the open-air baths.

Right! Right!

The steam fogged up everything and everything...

...looked all mosaic, so we didn't see anything.

Right right right!

So you were peeping, after all!

Why don't you let them off the hook?

They did say they couldn't see anyth... iiing!

He he hehey, Kariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin...

By the way, what are you doing?

That discussion earlier concerned me.

Earlier discussion?

With the instructors?

This is it!

What's... that?

Is that... a person?

That thing's true identity is Majestic Twelve!

No...

...it's a secret agent working for an organization which...

...plots to take over the world from South America!

...and so!

Concerning the comet...

...there's a lot of information jumping around on the 'net...

Stories of the government's secret operations...

...stories of alien lifeforms...

...and suspicious religious cults...

...are saying God is making a descent.

What do you think?

That's what I thought.

Getting back on topic...

...stories about the...

Cosmic Emergency Management Agency covering up vital...

...details of series of comets was talked about ages ago!

What?

Is that so?

The SS group separated into Comet Blasters and Meteor Sweepers...

...because of power struggles within the organization.

In addition...

...rumors say that the Comet Blasters are aiding in the coverup.

The Comet Blasters?

So I'm telling you it's a secret agent!

No it's not! Greys are behind this...

...by secretly combining forces with the United States!

They were involved with the assassination of Kennedy!

Oh, give it a rest already!

Talking to you guys will make me stupid!

But it's true.

Still talking?!

Delicious.

Delicious.

So? Since when?

I don't know.

But when I realized it, that's how she was.

What's the matter?

Betty's...

Chris...

What?

Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.

I see.

Could Chris be... as well?

Welcome Shimoji Island Intercept Base Pleasure Trip

And now...

...in appreciation of everyone's work on a daily basis...

A toast!

A toast!

Here, commander.

Commander, don't you prefer Scotch?

Well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

At a Japanese dinner party...

...it's customary to go with this instead.

You're right.

Say say say...

...what do you think happened between those two?

Could they have done the inevitable?

I don't think so with the way things are going.

Oh, I think I've drank too much!

Think I'll drink some tea.

Hey! What gives!

You saw me naked in the open-air bath, after all!

Th... that's...

Now I can't get married!

Instructor Iwasaki, please take responsibility!

He... hey!

You'll give people the wrong idea!

I think I'll have seconds on rice.

Oh, Ran!

Even though he's loved by such people.

Yeah.

I'm done.

Hey! My egg custard!

I wanted to eat the egg custard last!

My slices of raw fish are gone, too!

So is my deep-fried chicken!

Hey, Karin!

Karin, is it delicious?

It's delicious.

Karin's got quite a big appetite lately.

I wonder what happened to her?

I don't know much but this is for certain.

She'll get fat by eating that much.

Well said.

This feels so good!

Hey, Mikaze.

What immaturity you're displaying at your age!

It's natural to romp around during a trip.

How dare you!

Now I won't forgive you!

Take that and that and that and that...

Hey, people will get mad at us for being noisy. Take that and that and that and that...

Hey, people will get mad at us for being noisy.

Oh, how dare you!

I'm going to bathe, everyone.

Again?

Well...

...the open air bath at night is really something else.

Is that right?

No idea.

The open air bath at night is great, too!

See? What did I tell you.

It's true. The stars are so pretty!

I want to go to outer space someday.

What is it?

Uh... nothing.

Miss Ran, I'm going to excuse myself.

All right.

Ahhh, that felt good.

Oh Ayamo...

...yeah but...

You guys are still here?!

Perfect timing!

We got some awesome information just now!

So you say.

It's probably some outrageous lead.

No, it's from the Cosmic Emergency...

...Management Agency's official homepage!

This is a graph showing the number of shuttles...

...launched to dock with the orbital station.

So what of it?

The question is this!

See?

The number of launches have taken a sudden jump here, right?

Definitely.

There's a story...

...which says various equipment and technicians...

...are being sent to cultivate alien life forms which attach...

...themselves to comets.

Alien life forms?

But these shuttles are food supply transport crafts.

Cultivating alien life forms, my butt.

I'm ashamed of myself for being a little surprised.

There was probably some trouble with...

...the station's reserve food supply equipment.

Then, then, how's this?

The comet was a craft for people from the future!

No good?

I've got a much better one!

Here. "The comet is a type of a spirit."

This will be the clincher!

"The comets are planetary bombs sent to destroy humanity!"

Space aliens...

What, got a cold?

Oh, no way, no way!

Is this a planet of only men or something?

Not to mention the personnel we got here...

...magnifies the emotions of feeling pathetic.

Oh, wait. I want to take that back.

Hey! I told you to cut that out!

Oh, don't make such a big deal.

It's not as though I'm cheating.

Hah! You're really screwing up the pace of this game.

This is a bit brutal.

Hey! You just mocked me!

You're just a cat so how dare you mock my hand!

Hey! It's General!

While Mr. Iwasaki is gone, we're taking care of him.

Job well done of holding down the fort.

Here's a little gift.

Kouchin Here's a little gift.

All right! Got to hand it to you, Miss Rin!

You were concerned about us!

Sorry to cause you the trouble.

All right. I can finally eat a decent meal.

Hey, Kei! What the heck did you just do?!

Hm? Oh, nothing.

Why you! I told you not to do that!

Do it again and you're going to get a bald haircut!

What? I don't want to be bald anymore.

Then you're going to get stripped naked!

Gotcha!

Hey, brat! Give it back!

Oh, come on. I'm starving!

Is that the kind of attitude to show towards your elders!

If we starve to death, then our lives are over.

Let go of me!

Oh, stop it already!

I'm fed up with being on such a dismal standby!

Well, well.

They're children no matter how much time passes.

Are humans always this stupid?

No. These guys are special.

Huh?

Where's Karin?

I thought she went back to the room.

Where could she have gone?

Could she have gone outside alone?

What?

She couldn't have...

Karin!

Hey, babe! Have a drink with me!

Grrrr! Karin!

Karin!

Karin.

Karin...

Oops...

Don't "oops" me.

Why did you leave without saying anything?

Sorry.

Are you mad?

The four of us makes a team...

...so you shouldn't act independently.

Yeah.

But I'm not angry anymore.

Shall we go back holding hands?

Uh... Yeah!
