We don't have any business,
So, what shall we do?
If there's any place you want to see, I'll take you.
Don't worry about me.
Besides, isn't there someone else you want to see?
Hey, hey!
I see him!
That's him!
This way!
Almost time.
Right on schedule.

I didn't expect to come all this way
at an event held this morning...
Vice Admiral Yang Wen-li was in attendance
a war advocate, Vice Admiral Yang.
Now it looks like you came to support
That's what they were after.
"They"?
The bunch that sent me here.
Probably at Trunicht's suggestion.
do something like that?
Would the defense chairman
Yeah...
Command Academy's anniversary ceremony,
I thought it was strange that they'd invite me to the
on the verge of flunking out!
seeing as I was always
only one who didn't welcome me.
Except, that little girl was the

That's what her eyes were accusing me of.
for what I needed to say to her.
And I, as a survivor, had no words
as a prop for an election...
And besides that, using a child like that
Politicians are such...
Vice Admiral, shall I make us some tea?
that would make it even better.
Yes, and if there's any brandy,
I'll go look.
I'll get it.
Who are you?!
Please stop!
Wen-li's inside, isn't he?
You... Yang Wen-li!
Some "Hero of El Facil"!
You're nothing but a warmonger!
Bastard!
Coward!
I'll kick your ass!
Traitor!
Stop it!
Hi.
This is security! Is anything wrong?
Sorry!
and somebody drank a little too much.
We're having a party,
Adults can really be slovenly, huh?
Well, thank you!
Does it hurt?
No, it's nothing serious.
I'm really sorry.
I rushed after them, but...
When I heard they were going to break in here,
Your timing was perfect.
I couldn't have gone to the ceremony tomorrow.
If they'd given me any more of a beauty treatment,
You're still going?
Orders from on high.
It's part of my salary.
I see...
But you can't do what you did today.
You understand, right?
Yeah...
Our anti-war movement group
in this special election for representative.
is putting up our own candidate
The movement's growing,
and we had a good chance of winning.
But then you suddenly show up,
of all people!
shaking hands with the opposition candidate,
on TV and in the newspapers...
The sight of you, broadcast through the district
in campaign headquarters.
I wish I could show you the panic
Our lead was reversed in a single stroke.
You are "Miracle Yang," after all.
No wonder your friends are angry.
Now I see how careless I was.
then don't go to tomorrow's ceremony!
If you think that,
Jessica...
It's unreasonable, isn't it?
of being in the service, huh?
This is also the sad reality
Jean used to say it all the time.
From my heart, I apologize for my friends.
Thanks for not making it public.
Goodbye.
Jessica!
Um...
Never mind.
Goodbye.
Vice Admiral Yang, she's gone.
Right...
Why didn't you tell her?
"I came to see you..."
Julian...
Yes?
Is the tea ready yet?
What do you think? Nice restaurant, isn't it?
It's great, considering your tastes, Vice Admiral.
Really delicious!
But can you afford this?
when I was in the academy.
I came here all the time
The prices are pretty reasonable.
Vice Admiral Yang Wen-li?
Yes?
were hoping for your autograph.
Those customers over there
I'm sorry, but this is my private time, so...
Yes, but Vice Admiral...
Thank you very much.
Liberty stands for freedom
Oh, hail the flag that set us free
Long live Vice Admiral Yang!
Standing righteous, symbolic of strength
Should we leave?
Yeah.
a hot contest, doesn't it?
This special election looks like
Great, all these things do is spoil the city's looks.
Is it a fight?
Sounds like it.
The Patriotic Knights Corp!
Stop! What are you doing?!
Pull out!
Hey, are you okay?!
on Arnold Street.
Get me to the Anti-War People's Coalition HQ,
Gotcha, hang on!
Julian, give me a hand.
Right!
Julian, go back to the hotel...
and get to bed!
Yang Wen-li?!
Peter!
What have you done to Peter, you bastard?!
Don't jump to conclusions!
I didn't do it!
Yang?!
He was attacked by a gang of PKC.
He's hurt bad, but no bones are broken.
you saved our campaigner, didn't you?
Vice Admiral Yang,
I'd like to thank you on his behalf.
It was nothing.
I'm James Thorndike.
Yang Wen-li.
Stop that!
Jessica!
it will give the warmongers a fit!
If we publish that picture,
We're not like them!

Besides, Vice Admiral Yang
Mr. Thorndike seems like a nice guy.
Yes.
after he lost his three sons
He joined the anti-war movement
in the second operation to capture Iserlohn.
but he hates war from the bottom of his heart.
He's a gentle person,
This brings back memories, huh, Yang?
Yeah...
But whenever I pass this way, it rekindles the pain.
C'mon, let's go in.
Will you be okay?
Today, I'm not alone.
Strange, isn't it?
yet you became soldiers.
You and Jean didn't like war at all,
We had our reasons.
All sorts of them...
Hup, two! Hup, two!
Hup... Hup... Hup, two...
Hup, two...
Figured you would be here.
What's up?
Don't "What's up?" me.
You skipped Simulations again.
The teacher hit the roof.
Running is all the military training I can take.
Besides, I don't like Simulations that much.
the great prodigy Wideborn should be saying that.
I don't think anyone who gets beaten by
That was just a fluke.
didn't you, Yang?
You originally wanted to be a history student,
If I had money, I wouldn't be in a place like this.
Me, neither.
we can get a free education.
The Command Academy's the only place
It's like paradise for us poor people.
you have to repay the full tuition.
Except, if you don't become a soldier,
That's the seed of our sorrow, huh?
Never mind that.
Come with me!
H-hey, I haven't seen them all yet!
So what? History isn't going anywhere.
Well? Isn't she gorgeous?
Is she a music instructor?
The headmaster's daughter.
Old Baldy's?!
Like they say, a black hen can lay a white egg.
She's attending a music school.
The music school's having a dance party tonight.
She'll be there, too, of course.
You in?
Yeah, of course.
Now's our chance.
Call it.
Heads.
Tails.
Sorry, Jean.
Um, would you like to dance?

No, it's okay.

Sorry about that.
I think you need a pinch hitter, Yang.
I'm Jean Robert Lapp.

Great, I should have practiced
I'm still a pretty terrible dancer.
I was so conceited.
I thought you'd ask me again.
I would have danced with you if you had.
But you didn't ask...
Because Jean was head-over-heels about you.
The bond of male friendship, huh?
Well, kind of like that.
Jessica!
Please...
Just let me cry.
Election headquarters is that way!
Excuse me! Pardon me!
It's horrible!

You who shoulder the burden of

Each of you, plant that mission
The glorious history of the Alliance forces...
Nice job, Vice Admiral.
Yeah, it was a real chore.
Vice Admiral Yang!
the Anti-War People's Coalition Headquarters?
What do you think of last night's bombing of
It's a blasphemy against republican government.
Nothing more than that.
It's believed the perpetrator was a war advocate.
I think so, too.
Excuse me, I don't have time for this.
Ex-excuse me, but do you have any opinions on

Frederica, invite Vice Admiral Yang

Don't look so surprised.
