League of Nations Air Force Aviation Magic Band Luminous Witches

Retreat. The 1st Squadron will return to base.

First Lieutenant Grace! But the Neuroi are still...!

She's right! And so many of our allied forces are still...!

We're out of time.

We won't be able to get home.

It's not like we're giving up. Don't get me wrong.

First Lieutenant...

As long as there is even one fellow soldier remaining,

then we'll come back any number of times.

WONDERFUL WORLD

Nice to Meet You -

March 1944 Britannia

Whoa!

So that's London!

I think...?

Jeez... Come on, Moffy.

All you do is take naps.

City of London

U-um...

Uh...

Aira-sama...

Let's see, to go to Albert Hall would be...

Huh?

I'm hungry...

You know, Olivier?

Huh?

Olivier? Where'd he go?

H-help!

D-don't pull!

Olivier!

Help!

Who're you?

I-I'm Inori Shibuya!

Let her go, Olivier!

Whoa!

That's an unusual name. Are you Fusoan?

Oh! Thank you very much!

Sorry about my familiar.

I'm Lyudmila Andreyevna Ruslanova.

Lyu... Lyudolila...?

Lyudmila!

I'm fine with Milasha.

This is perfect.

I want to get to a place called Albert Hall, but can you tell me how?

I don't get why this is perfect at all.

You're a witch, right?

W-well, yes, but why...?

Olivier is my familiar.

The fact that you can see him means that you're a witch too, right?

Then, Ludolila-san, you too...?

It's Lyudmila!

Well, I'm asking as a fellow witch.

If you're going to ask for directions, it doesn't have to be a witch...

I'm not good at it...

What?

Well, I'm not good at being in a place where there are lots of people I don't know.

I see...

My unit has people of the same generation as me, so I did get used to them after all, but...

I get it. So that's why, Milasha-san, this one tried to bring me to you.

You're a good boy.

He's Olivier, a Borzoi.

Where's your familiar?

What a heartless one, even when one's partner is asking for help.

That's true. I wonder where it went...?

What's that cry...?

Moffy, wait!

What is that?

Okoge!

Olivier, sit!

Behave yourself, Okoge!

You shouldn't fight!

Ouch!

Ellie!

Ellie!

Ellie, you there?

I'm here.

Why're you here?!

Why have you changed clothes?! What about seeing off the guests?!

I'm sure it's fine, you know?

Here's some tea.

Thanks.

No, that's not it.

This is part of the job too! It's a duty!

Nobody really cares about us, you know.

That's...

Well, even if we greet them, they don't say anything about how the dresses are,

or how the accessories are this or that, or about the songs, but...

That's right.

And something like our singing is probably just another accessory,

to the higher-ups and the rich folk, but...

Right?

Don't make me do all the talking!

I'm the same as you, Aira.

Even I would still be on the front lines if I wasn't injured...

It's not like I want your sympathy, you know!

I haven't said anything, you know.

Even though today was the first show in a while...

Where did the Commander go...?

Now that the battle with the Neuroi has prolonged to the present day,

we will also be required to help the people who have supported us.

I have sought out that role in music.

Although it is currently small-scale,

the musical band has continued activities for over a half year now,

but I am thinking of wanting to expand this more.

Now is the time!

The power of music is being sought after!

Hey, what is that thing?

She's Moffy.

That's not it. Like, is she is a Borzoi or a calico cat, or...?

I don't know.

What?!

Probably a bird... Right?

This is the first time I've met people who can see Moffy.

I'm Virginia Robertson.

Call me Ginny.

I'm Lyudmila Andreyevna Ruslanova.

Lyudmila-chan? Nice to meet you.

You memorized it on the first try?!

I'm fine with Milasha.

I'm Inori Shibuya.

Hey, is that your familiar?

"Familiar"?

Or rather, you're a witch too, right?

"Witch"?

Familiars are spirits that don't have a physical form,

so only a witch can see them, but...

So then, even though you're a witch, you don't belong to any military, at your age?

Where are you from?

Um, up north.

Much much farther away than here...

Apparently, she seems to be quite the country bumpkin...

So, can your unit win against the Neuroi?

What?

So, that is not what I am talking about-

We are talking about defeating the Neuroi.

Can we defeat the Neuroi with singing?

I... I think it would be useful for the people who don't fight...

Major Grace Maitland Steward?

Y-yes!

That would be me, but...

Thank you for helping my grandchild at the Dunkirk Evacuation.

You were an excellent witch,

but in terms of negotiations at places like this, you're quite the amateur.

Yes...

Although it's been over two years since I retired from the front lines.

There's not readily a place to fit in, for a witch who has lost her wings, so...

You must give yourself more credit.

It's said that a witch loses her magic, around the time she's twenty years old, but...

One's life afterwards is a lot longer than that, so...

The present you is the future figure of all the witches who follow after you.

You should shine even more and show them.

Shine...?

I hadn't even thought of it in that way.

Because we're in a time like this,

I agree with your opinion that the people need peace of mind.

It's just that it won't be an easy thing, to think ahead of the times and act.

Yes... To be honest, I am struggling.

First of all, you need to create an excuse.

Something that will let us support all of you.

Yes ma'am. But how do I...?

That is also something you will have to find.

What you are doing may just be a little light,

but if you can gather more, it will shine even more beautifully.

Gather the light...

Flocke... Is it morning?

I... I did it...

I, Maria, was able to wake up two hours earlier than usual...

But if I'm not at least another hour earlier, then I will not make it to training...

Britannia: Essex County, Harwich

Romagna Air Force: 56th Air Wing Detachment

Why is that?!

Why is my name not on the sortie list for this time as well?!

Well, that's...

There shouldn't be any problem with my abilities.

Please include me in the battle lines!
