- As Akeno becomes worried about Moeka's distress call, the Harekaze intercepts a message reporting the ship's alleged mutiny. Later that night, the ship comes across the I-201, a submarine from Toumai marine boys' high school and attempts to send a message to them, only to once again come under attack. As the girls try to evade the submarine's torpedoes, the rescued German pilot, Wilhelmina Braunschweig Ingelner Friedeburg, wakes up and helps the crew fight off the submarine. After managing to escape, Wilhelmina informs Akeno that something on the Spee caused her crew to stop obeying orders.

- While sailing out of the fog, the Harekaze encounters another ship of their school. Initially assuming to be the Musashi, it turns out to be the Hiei. The school orders the ship to monitor the Hiei while avoiding being hit as reinforcements from the Blue Mermaids were deployed, arriving in four hours. The crew realizes that their course was leading to a residential area and worries that the infection will spread from the Hiei to the residents. Meanwhile, Mashimo visits her mother, the principal at the school explaining the source of the infection and how it began. Meanwhile, Akeno devises a strategy and receives permission from the principal to execute it in order to stop the Hiei.

Remember her last encounter with the Spee, Akeno, Wilhelmina, and some others take skippers to sneak aboard while the Harekaze distracts it. As Akeno's group make their way past the infected Spee crew, Wilhelmina faces off against her captain, Thea Kreutzer, and Kaburagi manages to administer with the vaccine, stopping the Spee's attack.

Later, Minami discovers that the cause of their electrical equipment malfunctioning was the rodent, which was carrying a virus that caused Shima to act the way she did earlier. The Harekaze soon finds itself surrounded by mines, prompting the crew to do some minesweeping. When the two skipper crew, Kayoko Himeji and Ritsuko Matsunaga, get caught up in an underwater explosion, Rin manages to convince Mashiro to let her and Akeno set out to safely rescue them. Meanwhile, Minami decides to try an antibody she created for the virus on herself. (en)

Along the way, however, they come under pursuit from the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee. Faced with unfavorable battle odds, Akeno comes up with the idea to use the smoke from the ship's funnel as a smokescreen in order to get a shot in. During this, a small craft leaving the Graf Spee gets hit in the crossfire, prompting Akeno to set out and rescue its pilot. After the Harekaze gets to safety with the pilot in tow, Akeno receives a distress call from Moeka, telling her that the Musashi is in danger. (en)

Despite Mashiro's warning, Akeno goes off on her own to rescue Moeka, but crashes her skipper just as she gets near. (en)

The Harekaze soon learns of a stranded mall ship and are sent to help evacuate its passengers. As Mashiro and Wilhelmina lead a rescue party, Mashiro gets caught up in a flood while rescuing a cat named Tamonmaru. Just as Mashiro laments her bad luck, she is rescued by the Blue Mermaids, who take Minami's antibody with them, while Tamonmaru's owners deciding to let him stay with Mashiro aboard the Harekaze. After the rescue mission, the Harekaze sails through a fog not knowing another ship was just near them. (en)
