Strike Witches (ストライクウィッチーズ)

Oh? We're out of rice...

Huh? But no one's sent us any more yet!

Ms. Sakamoto! We ran out of rice!

Everyone gathering all at once was unexpected...

This is a problem.

What should we do?

We happen to need some other provisions too,

so why don't you go shopping for us?

Shopping?

Understood!

Someday, someday I'll be able to fly

through the promised skies with you again

Some nights are so frustrating and painful that you can't sleep

They happen to everyone

Whenever you feel that way, call me-- I'll rush right over

at the speed of sound

Even if it's fate, I'll struggle against it

Because, see, you always give me a smile

Our dreams are still far from coming true

but together we can make it happen, with our unbeatable courage

Your tears sparkle and shine

But if you use the magic of your smile to change them into wings

I'm sure you'll be able to flutter them

So go over the rainbow and further beyond

"Episode 5: My Romagna"

So we must now handle the task of procuring our own supplies.

Shirley can drive the big truck and Lucchini is familiar with Romagna,

-so I leave this mission to you two.

-Huh?

-Understood!

All right! I haven't driven in a good while!

Sorry we can't send more; there's no telling when the enemy might attack.

Yay! A drive! A drive!

I'd been wanting to leave the base once in a while,

so I happily accept this assignment!

Miyafuji and Lynne will also accompany you.

U-Umm, I think I'd prefer to stay on standby...

Huh? How come?

Huh?

Understood. Then you'll accompany them, Miyafuji.

Yes, ma'am!

You'll be their guide, Lucchini.

Just leave it to me!

Miyafuji. Be sure to follow Shirley's instructions during the mission.

Yes, ma'am!

If anyone wants something, tell us what it is.

Something we want? Like new training equipment...?

No, no, nothing like that. Things we need for relaxation.

Relaxation, huh? It is important to train hard and relax hard.

In that case, baths are important for keeping up morale after training.

Is training all you girls can think about?

Does anyone have a more realistic request?

Umm... I'd like some tea.

Yes! Teatime is important!

As for me, I'd like a radio!

But we already have a top-notch Karlsland transmitter.

A radio we can put in here.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all listen to music or the news?

Ah, I see.

I heartily agree. We're counting on you, Miyafuji.

Yes, ma'am! You can count on me!

Tea and a radio!

A piano. I want a piano!

A piano would be far too heavy to carry.

Aww. I wanted to hear Sanya's piano playing, too.

Hey, Sanya. Is there anything you want?

Why don't you ask for something you want, Eila?

How about you, Ms. Barkhorn?

I don't really want anything.

Then how about a souvenir for Chris?

Ch-Chris? Oh, right...

Okay, some c-c-cute clothes...

Huh?

Some clothes!

Got it! What kind would you like?

You decide. She's about the same size as Lucchini. I'll let you choose.

Are you sure?

Y-Yes. I'll be fine with whatever you think is nice.

Understood!

Oh, how about you, Perrine?

I don't need anything.

Oh? But since this is a rare chance...

I said I don't need anything!

Perrine...

Actually, Perrine has been donating all her pay and savings

to the Gallia Restoration Foundation...

Oh!

Oh, Yoshika! Could you get some flower seeds too, along with my tea?

Okay!

Let's see... That leaves Ms. Hartmann...

Urgh! Don't tell me Hartmann's still sleeping!

Get up, Hartmann!

Aww... Just 90 more minutes...

A soldier should be swift and decisive! Get up this instant!

We're just about to go shopping. Is there anything you want?

Sweets!

What you need is an alarm clock!

-Aww! Sweets! Sweets! Sweets!

-Be quiet!

-Sweets! Sweets! Sweets!

So pick up an alarm clock too, if you would.

Y-Yes, ma'am...

Alarm...

Miyafuji!

A pillow!

Huh?

Buy me a pillow!

A pillow?

It needs to be black with a small, red embroidered design.

It needs to be made of velvet, or at least something that feels nice.

It should be filled with down feathers or the small feathers of a water bird.

H-Hold on...!

Got it?

It's hard to get when you say it all at once, Eila.

Fine. I'll write it down. Just don't mess up.

Don't forget, now. You have to get one!

Okay...

Take care!

See you later!

Please come back safely...

Wow!

It's so pretty! Lynne should've come with us!

All clear ahead! No oncoming vehicles!

What's happening?

Here we go!

W-We're going to fall!

This is fun!

What?!

-Go!

-Stop!

Go!

Hooray!

I pulled it off!

I feel sick...

Yoshika! Yoshika! We're in Rome!

Wow! Incredible!

Wow!

Oh, is this your first time here, Yoshika?

Yeah. What's that?

That's an old fighting colosseum.

Wow! What's that?

That's a town hall.

This is amazing, too!

You're like a kid, Yoshika!

Well, Rome is a historic city.

Isn't it, though? Isn't it, though?

It really is a wonderful city! I take it you were born here, Lucchini?

Well, you know how it is...

You were always bragging about Rome when we were in Africa too!

But it really is a great city!

Yes, yes, I know.

You're sure about this place?

Yeah! This shop has just about everything!

Oh, wow!

Let's see...

Here's a radio.

This is for me!

Don't forget about Hartmann!

Here, hold this, Lucchini.

Sure!

Tea, flowers, clothes...

Oh, that really suits you, Miyafuji!

Oh, no, this is what Ms. Barkhorn asked for.

Wh-Wha...?!

She asked for this?!

No! This is for her sister Chris to wear!

I-I can't breathe!

Really! It isn't for her!

I can't believe it! This is too much...!

Let go of me!

Super...

...Lucchini...

...Kick!

And another!

Okay!

U-Uhh...!

Let's go!

Huh?

This way! This way!

Huh?!

W-Wait!

Th-Thank you! Umm, who are you...?

Me?

I'm an upholder of justice who was passing by! Francesca Lucchini!

I'm Maria.

Maria, huh? Nice to meetcha!

Umm, it's nice to meet you!

What was happening back there?

Oh, umm...

Oh, I got it! They're with the Mafia! Aren't they?! Aren't they?!
