Macross Delta (マクロスΔ（デルタ）)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR- RRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Good morning, Messer.

How is your wound?

Just fine. I'll be back on the job by tomorrow.

I've lost count of how many times you've saved us.

It's my duty.

Still. Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Since then, the military stopped importing Windermerean galaxy apples

and using water from the ruins.

When they tried to track down the suppliers, they found nothing but dummy corporations.

Furthermore, research has revealed

that the seidznole produced by the reaction between the water and those apples

aids the growth of fold bacteria and thus accelerates the spread of Var.

The Var Syndrome is likely caused by such fold bacteria infecting the cells responsible for

emitting and amplifying powerful emotions by means of subspace,

resulting in turning people into a violent mob.

All members of Walküre have been selected because we possess so-called fold receptors,

which are capable of suppressing the activity of fold bacteria.

Huh? Me too?

That's right. You included.

That's how we are capable of calming the Var.

Walküre auditions are how we try to find people who possess fold receptors.

Hayate Immelmann.

You are also one such person.

Hayate's one?

Sorry.

I never found a good time to break it to you until now.

During the battle on Voldor,

Hayate's receptor values skyrocketed.

Looks like you and Freyja resonate with each other.

Hayate and me?

Resonate, huh?

Hold on.

If people with fold receptors are less prone to the Var,

then what about us who don't have them?

You have the songs.

As long as you're directly listening to my song, you'll be safe.

What about the people who've already been infected by the Var?

There's no perfect treatment yet.

They might also be affected by Windermere's song of the wind.

Two years ago, the Var wiped out a planet called Alfheim.

I heard you're from the town of Marienburg but survived.

Cpt. Arad saved you from the verge of death, supposedly.

Could it be you were infected there already?

Should I tell the captain then about what happened to you?

You are correct.

I've turned Var once before.

The captain knows that.

He does?

All he talks about is jellyfish.

Does he also know you're showing symptoms again?

What are you gonna do?

Return to service.

But you can't!

Enough. Return to base.

Lieutenant!

Let's go. He ain't gonna listen.

Don't touch that!

Is that Walküre?

I've never heard this song.

This is Kaname's voice.

Don't tell anyone about me.

But...

Please.

First Lt. Messer...

What do we do?

Good question.

Another year without a hot date to take me to the jellyfish festival.

Look at that!

Huh? Haya-Haya and Mira-Mira?

Ah, wistfully gazing into the sunset together, words unneeded!

I heard Hayate brought her into his room at Ragnyanyan before.

His room?!

Maria's intel has never been wrong!

Did they then...

What? What do you mean?

Lovers living separately.

L-L-L-Lovers?!

I'm back.

Oh, welcome back!

Where's Kaname?

She's not back yet.

Oh.

Um!

Yeah...

Good night!

But it's only 8pm...

I'm back.

Hey, welcome back.

This feels good.

What is it?

You're the one who sings Axia, right?

Ah. That's before when Mikumo joined.

I was the lead vocalist back then.

You know, before I joined Walküre, I had a short career as an idol.

Solo.

But things didn't work out and I retired.

Even then, I couldn't give up on my dream and kept trying to make something happen.

Then my fold receptors got me into Walküre.

That's the last song we recorded with me as the lead vocalist of Walküre.

The last?

Yes. Now, Mikumo's the face of Walküre.

There's Freyja too.

I don't have the talent to be in the center.

Might be weird to say so myself, but apparently I'm good at dragging people along as their leader.

I see.

Yup.

Argol Petra, the Protoculture ruins on this planet, didn't react to our singing.

But those on Voldor did.

Yes.

Protoculture ruins can be found on a number of occupied planets.

All of them have energy shafts toward the planets' cores.

Then again, we know nothing of how they work or are related to songs.

Messer!

Messer, are you all better?

First Lt. Messer Ihlefeld, reporting for duty.

We can't even hit him when it's three against one?!

I think I know what this is about!

Messer's using us to train for the White Knight.

He wants to fight him again.

Dammit!

Delta 3, 4, and 5 have been taken down.

Quite a sad show.

Your point?

The real war is only about to begin.

Should a commander not worry about his forces' ability?

Lovers... Just the two...

The two of them...

Wait, is that Hayate and Mirage?!

They really are alone together!

Ahhhhh!!!!

For what reason would Messer go so far?

Whatever it may be, we should stop him.

Easier said than done.

What's wrong?

Sorry.

I'm so pathetic.

We should be worried about the lieutenant,

but I'm concerned about myself too.

I have no fold receptors.

I might turn Var anytime.

We've got Freyja.

As long as she sings, we're safe.

That's right.

As long as she... As long as Walküre sings.

No need to worry.

We've supplied them with more than enough apples and water already.

They found out about the ruins too.

So what? Without the Wind Singer, they're just rocks.

Where are you going?

To investigate.

We're short on time.

Don't worry.

The song of the wind won't be necessary.

What was that wind I felt there?

What's this feeling?

My rune is so restless.

We should talk to the captain about this.

I can't let that happen.

So you're gonna keep flying in your condition?

I have yet to deal with the White Knight.

So you're saying we're not good enough to take him down?

You might fall under enemy control!

If that happens, kill me.

Why does it have to come to that?

I ordered you to kill the enemy without failure.

And I'm saying that you shouldn't let it get to that point!

Is this about Kaname?

Now where did that come from?!

That bracelet only has that one song by Kaname.

That song...

That voice is what saved me...

when I ran amok.

It returned me to my senses.
