1x3 - A Long Day of Fish
May 31, 2019
Harukaze Squadron visit a sketchy (and expensive) exhibition of a mysterious creature known as a "fish".

1x4 - Chō-Han Bar
July 3, 2019
Three of the Harukaze girls visit a seedy bar, looking for something to eat. They notice some men playing dice with a woman who is effortlessly taking all of their money. Struck with the thrill of winning by luck, Belle accidentally gambles away the squad's food money. It looks hopeless until she uses her emergency cash and rallies, winning it all back and then some. Lola & Fio of the Gekitetsu Family watch on as the losers cry foul right before local police walk in to see the illicit activity. Lola creates a distraction that allows the Harukaze girls to escape... without their money or their food.
1x5 - The Ruthless Girls' Day Out
July 31, 2019
Harukaze Squadron gets hired for guard duty at an airfield. They have no idea what it is they're suppose to be guarding until they come face to face with the famous Kotobuki Squadron. After getting over their initial shock, they start talking about the history of the basin the airfield is situated in and how it used to be a vast ocean with water as far as the eye could see in every direction. From there, the conversation takes a turn for the weird with stories about ancient clothing known as swimsuits and which fighter plane each of the girls best represents.

August 31, 2019
Yuka finally achieves her dream of meeting Reona of Kotobuki Squadron in person. Harukaze Squadron proceed to engage in some very overt hero worship.

Councilor Yuria personally inspects the Hagoromo-maru Mk. II before it disembarks. Meanwhile, Kotobuki Squadron discuss failed (and potential) relationships between colleagues with Ririko at the local saloon - before Yuria walks in to personally inspect the drinks on tap. All is well, except that First Officer Saneatsu is worried that, with all the modifications made to the airship, a close friend's services may no longer be required.

November 30, 2019
