Marika
didn’t tell Gruier and Grunhilde about the club’s plans because she’s reluctant
to have them along on anything dangerous given their royal status, but they snuck
on board the Odette II anyway. Grunhilde reminds her that neither of them is
particularly interested in the latter and they’re useful to have around. They
set the ship on autopilot and take the launch to the Bentenmaru.
At the
hospital, Misa snoops around and finds out that the crew’s stay is being
extended two weeks, which makes them worry about their licence. Then a
monitoring camera on the ship picks up something and they discover that the
Yacht Club isn’t going on that
practice cruise Marika told them about. Misa calls Marika to mess with her a
little but doesn’t trick her into admitting anything since she must have her
reasons for not saying anything. Then they realize a bunch of amateurs are
going to try and fly their tricked-out, heavily modified ship...
Show calls
the Bentenmaru with the user manual he conveniently ‘found’ – secretly whipped
up in a panic by the bridge crew – and they’re able to get the engines working.
But now the Stellar Military is on the way to investigate their accidental
firing of the ship’s cannons, and there’s nothing in the manual on how to do an
FLT jump. Fortunately, they’re able to figure it out and get away on their own.
Chiaki,
Gruier, and Grunhilde spot and destroy the camera on the bridge, agreeing not
to tell Marika to avoid hurting her pride. Since Marika and the Club figured
out how to do an FTL jump on their own, the bridge crew decides they’ll be
fine.
Thoughts
Yeah,
another set-up episode and I really don’t have much to say. It did have a few
amusing moments (like Chiaki’s expression when the princesses brought out the sweets
– if the others don’t bribe her with sweets, or something like a coupon for a
free chocolate parfait, before the series is over, I’ll be very surprised), and
I liked the expression on Grunhilde’s face when she and Gruier came up to the
bridge – she was saying one thing, but her expression said ‘you’re not getting
rid of us that easily.’ She’s
sneakier than she looks, so in other words she’ll fit right in.
…Yeah, I
think I’ll just move on.
