a Grumman lying in ambush

shot my fuel tank.

That is the closest shave I had

with an enemy plane till date.

At that time...

Izaki, you still don't get it?!

Platoon Sergeant's voice resonated in my mind.

In the next moment I descended rapidly and escaped.

My fuel got used up quickly and I

made an emergency landing on the sea.

I swam for 9 hours in fear of sharks.

I fell into a despair many times but each

time I was saved by Platoon Sergeant's voice.

No matter how hard it is, put

in effort to continue living!

When I was standing at the death abyss, I

finally understood the meaning of his words.

Thanks to that I survived till today.

If not for Platoon Sergeant, my

daughter would not have been born.

Now, I can clearly say.

Having chose to live like that during that era,

Platoon Sergeant is stronger than any other people.

And because he is a strong person, he

is able to persist in living like that.

He is definitely not a coward.

But in the end,

My grandfather did not manage to see my

grandmother and my mother before his end right?

No, there is just this once.

After the Pearl Harbor

attack, Akagi was docked

at Yokosuka Harbor.

Eh?

At that time Platoon Sergeant spoke

about returning back to his hometown.

Miyabe

Dear!

What's wrong?

There is nothing wrong...

If you are coming back, please contact me!

Ahh I am terribly sorry...

Docking in Yokosuka Harbor is

an highly confidential matter.

Where is Kiyoko?

Are you Kiyoko?

Here, here Kiyo chan.

Here, see? It's dad!

She's so small!

Kiyoko.

How is the bath water?

Matsuno! It's terrible Matsuno!

What happened!?

Ah...

I got careless in the bath, but she is such a calm one.

She is enjoying I guess.

Right? Kiyo chan.

It is nice to be in the bath with daddy right?

Goodbye.

I shall be on my way.

Please...

Be safe.

Matsuno.

Definitely...

I will be back.

Even if I lost an arm,

Or even a leg, I will be back.

Even if I am dead,

I will still be back.

Even if I am reborn,

I will definitely be back to you and Kiyoko

It is a promise...

To tell the truth, I am in the last stage of cancer.

Eh?

Half a year ago, my doctor

told me I still have 3 months.

But some how after half a year

until now, I am still alive.

As for why my life has held out till

today, I think I understand now.

It is for me to tell this tale.

For the sake of me telling you the

tale of Platoon Sergeant I guess.

Platoon Sergeant,

I saw your grandchildren.

Platoon Sergeant,

Can you see this?

I... want to know more.

Yup.

I want to know even more!

Yup.

Before being able to return to his wife

and daughter, he gave his all to not die.

I am good with this.

I had just wanted to hear that.
