Original subtitles

Sorry I'm late.

If you were fighting General Logi's subordinates,

then I guess it couldn't be helped.

By the way... I said I'd prefer you'd come alone if possible.

It seems you're a popular guy. Nobody wanted to stay behind.

Oh, bother... Then I'll tell you what I've found out so far.

Okay.

TOWARDS THE GREAT BLUE SKY

The woman you're after, the one who smells like flowers,

is named Delphinium.

And she's a member of Grankingdom Intelligence.

The mayor's wife, maro?

No, a member of intelligence. In other words, she's a spy.

What's a spy, maro?

A spy conceals their identity,

infiltrates the enemy and searches for information.

Is it different from a master informant like you?

We have all sorts of freedom, but they have no choice but to follow orders.

So do you think she is following Nene's orders?

I'm not sure just yet.

What else do you got?

After obtaining the Extra Seven from Jibral Castle,

she got onboard a Grankingdom Army air destroyer.

The name of the ship is the Norg.

Where did the ship go?

That's unknown...

What does that mean?

There should be records left in the Army database.

Were those records erased?

That's exactly right.

All the flight data from after Delphinium boarded with the Extra Seven

has been erased from their database.

It's a run-down old vessel about to retire.

There are several unclear things with the other records as well.

Then let's go to that ship.

We should board the ship and check out the records directly, right?

Just a minute, Shu.

Do you intend to infiltrate a Grankingdom ship?

Yeah. That's the only way, right, Homeron?

Things aren't that simple.

Are those Grankingdom battleships?!

Have we been found, maro?!

Don't panic.

They're not Grankingdom.

They're the battle fleet from the Sabaru Kingdom.

They used to be allied with Grankingdom.

They have the same type of battleships because they received military aid.

Used to be?

Sabaru rebelled against Nene's ambition to rule the world and renounced the alliance.

And now, Grankingdom has dispatched a fleet to counter the uprising.

What? Then is this going to turn into a war?!

We should get out of here quick then! Right, Shu?!

If the Grankingdom fleet is heading this way, that means...

That's right. The Norg should be in that fleet somewhere.

Then all the records will be gone if the Norg is destroyed.

That means we need to hurry.

Yes. It's not just the Norg data.

The data concerning Delphinium is rapidly being erased as well...by someone.

Let's go to that Norg ship, Homeron.

Hold it, Shu. I'd like to check out the Sabaru fleet first.

We're going to help out Sabaru?

That's right.

You know, that could be a good idea.

Engine Room! What's happening?!

We'll crash at this rate.

Get off my back!

I'm doing the best I can!

It's pointless if this is the best you can do!

What?!

It's okay, Deputy Officer. This isn't anything new.

But Captain...

It's okay.

It was absurd that this Norg was ordered to this front in the first place.

It's a good chance for us to distinguish ourselves in battle.

The Grankingdom Army has plenty of other battleships.

They don't expect much from a run-down ship like this.

Orders are orders.

Orders, huh?

The fleet headquarters didn't issue the orders.

It's the same as that time when we transported that woman...

Orders are orders.

Not again, Deputy Officer.

What do you mean, Sergeant Major?

You won't last if you get that pumped up before we even get to the battlefield.

Here, have some of this.

Oh, thanks.

Engine room! Up the power!

I don't want to go down in a place like this either!

Oh, man...

Take some drinks to the engine room too.

That sounds good.

The Sabaru fleet will show up if we don't get a move on.

What's the meaning of this?

Actually...

We would like to be included in the battle against the Grankingdom Army.

With those children?

Don't underestimate us.

We're Shadow Wielders!

And defenders of justice, maro!

Wha—?

We have fought against the Grankingdom with the power of Shadows.

We want you to give us a ride in one of your ships.

Please?

It's okay, right?

Oh, come on!

That's mean!

We're powerful, you know!

The enemy fleet is presently flying 350 km to the east by southeast heading northwest.

Our fleet will confront them head-on.

But was it okay to turn them away?

The likes of Shadow Wielders are of no use in a fleet battle.

Well, it's going according to plan.

Come on, hurry it up.

Hey.

Yes, sir?

I'm going to borrow this ship. Move out of the way, you guys.

Yes, sir...

I thought you just left on a sortie...

Kluke.

Leave it to me.

We'll be borrowing this, maro.

Who're you guys?

Sorry 'bout that.

Who're you?

Hurry.

I guess this is kind of an assault ship?

Hey, can you fly this thing?

I'm good at stuff like this. Didn't you know that, Homeron?

I didn't get that information.

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

Here we go!

Air Destroyer Norg, rendezvous with the Second Torpedo Unit.

Roger.

The torpedo unit... means they want us at the front lines?

We have no choice!

Hmm...

Reduce vessel speed.

R-Reduce vessel speed.

Yes, this is the Norg.

Due to an engine malfunction, we cannot keep up with the rest of the fleet.

Wha—?!

We'll do our best to keep up. Over.

What's the meaning of this, Captain?

It's okay. All crew members! Get in first battle position!

G-Get in first battle position!

We will do the best we can with this vessel.

That's all.

Yes, sir.

Can we catch up with them?

Just leave it to me!

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat. When is it okay for me to fire, maro?

Shu, I want to fly like this on our honeymoon.

Well, this isn't exactly a vacation.

Under normal circumstances,

a run-down ship like the Norg would never be ordered into battle.

The Grankingdom is building new ships left and right.

So there must be a reason why they're going to the trouble

of sending a ship that's virtually a pile of scrap to Sabaru?

Yes.

You think they're trying to get rid of it?

I wonder who's trying to hide what?

It's the work of the one ordering Delphinium. That person has the Extra Seven.

That's just a guess, right?

You know master informants only discuss facts, right?

We're catching up!

It's the Grankingdom fleet!

What?! They're here already?!

Leave it to me, maro. Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat.

What're you doing, Marumaro?!

It's not my fault, maro!

Hold it, are we going to go into that?

Let's go, Kluke!

Hey, that's crazy!

I'm telling you, let's go back. Please, Shu?

I'll shoot them all down, so it'll be okay, maro.

Here we go!

What?!

Heh. Now that's our Kluke.

Go!

First Torpedo Unit, prepare to charge!

You idiot! Not yet!

That's the unit reported to have been stolen by Shadow Wielders.

Those guys, huh?! What do they intend to do?

D-Dodge that, Kluke!

Hey, keep it down, will you?!

Kluke, get us out of here quick!

Kluke, missiles. Fire some missiles or something.

Hang on a second. Let me check the manual.

- We're done for! - Fire the missiles!

Keep quiet!

What're you doing, Marumaro?! Hurry up and counterattack!

Leave it to me, maro!

I'll nail them with every shot! Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

The gun won't fire, maro!

It seems the safety circuit activates if the gun is fired too much

and the barrels overheat.

These are the missiles.

Lock on, Kluke.

I'll give it a shot!

Firing missiles!

All right!

Which ship is the Norg?

It's a small ship. It has an ID number written on the body of the ship.

There are a bunch of small ships.

Isn't that it over there?!

It's so far away I can't see the number.

The Norg is a rickety old ship, right?

That's the only ship that's moving along slowly.

Kluke, try approaching it.

Got it.

How're you going to get inside?

I just have to jump over there.

Homeron, I'll send you over!

Send me? Don't tell me...

That's right. With Blue Dragon.

ID number 214. No mistake, that's the Norg.

Here we go!

There's an enemy ship approaching from the port side!

Fire anti-aircraft!

Fire anti-aircraft!

Kluke, take us up!

Roger!

Here we go, Homeron!

R-Right. I'm counting on you, Shu.

Here we go.

The Norg's getting away.

Don't let them get away, Blue Dragon!

Hold it right there!

Good work. Here's fine.

See you around.

- Oh! - Oh!

All right!

It's a success.

What do we do now?

We'll keep a distance from the Norg and stand by.

We'll pick Homeron up once he signals us.

Got it.

Maro! Kluke! Up front, maro!

What?!

I can't believe that ship earlier would just charge in solo like that.

They must've been out of their minds.

Hmm...

We might've been targeted.

No way...

Have we been hit?!

I can't control it!

I can't see ahead. It's totally white up ahead, maro.

You sure picked a great place to land, maro!

I didn't land here because I wanted to!

What should we do? It won't move.

We've got to repair it quickly! I'm counting on you, Kluke.

Right.

I'll help.

It's the enemy!

What?

Maro!

Was that a direct hit?

We've been hit on the port side. Fire has broken out!

Oh my. I guess that's enough for now.

We still haven't even brought down one ship!

It's okay. Otherwise we'll go down first.

But now that we've entered the battlefield...

Get down!

Deputy Officer, increase our altitude. We'll crash at this rate...

No good. This is the best I can do.

Who're you?! What happened to the Deputy Officer?

I made it somehow...

We're withdrawing from this battle.

I agree with that idea.

But who are you?

My name's Homeron. I'm a master informant.

Homeron? I've heard that name before.

That's nice to hear.

What's the world's best master informant doing on this rusty old ship...

A ship that's about to go down...

Are you a Sabaru spy?!

It seems we don't have much time, so I'll be brief.

I'm on the trail of a woman named Delphinium.

It seems you know her...

You let her board this ship near Jibral Castle, right?

I want to know where you took her.

For some reason, there's no information about that

in the army's database or in this ship's database.

I don't recall erasing it... But I have no intention of telling you.

Well, soon you won't be able to even if you wanted to.

What're you getting at?

Somebody is attempting to conceal where Delphinium went from Jibral Castle.

Now that all the data has been erased, the only ones who know are...

That's right...

Only you guys, the crew of this ship that actually transported her...

No...

Doesn't it seem strange that a decrepit old ship like the Norg was sent to the front?

It's true... Just us being here is a liability for the whole fleet.

So you're saying the plan was to have the Norg participate in this battle

and have us go down with it?

Don't talk nonsense!

We're done, Captain! This ship won't hold on any longer!

I guess this is it...

You're going to help us out. We're getting off of this ship.

Captain...

It's okay. We're helping each other.

If what he's saying is a lie, we just won't send him back alive.

Fine with me.

It's General Logi.

We sent that woman to General Logi.

Captain, that's classified information.

General Logi...

The general of the Grankingdom who's after Shu and the others...

Indeed, with Logi's abilities,

it's possible to provide Delphinium with resources.

Then everything makes sense...

Crushing Nail!

Let's take out this entire ship, maro!

Shall we, Marumaro?!

Don't be reckless. We'll lose our footing.

Here they come!

Oh no! A whole bunch more have come. Kluke, hurry up.

It's this pipe here! This is the problem!

It doesn't look like there are any replacement parts.

I'll patch it up for now.

I'll close this system and stop a portion of the engine.

Oh, look!

Isn't that the ship Homeron boarded?!

Homeron!

Damn it!

Shu and the others head off to rescue Homeron,

but encounter a herd of savage monsters.

There's way too many of them, maro.

Shu, let's beg for our lives together, maro.

Huh? Okay, got it.

Here goes, maro. Life, maro.

Spelling out a word with your body?! How do I do it?
