The Princess and The Pirate.
Episode Description:
The stowaway reveals herself as Gruier Serenity, the seventh princess of her royal family, and is shocked to find out that Marika is the new captain of this spaceship. After introducing Gruier to the crew of the Bentenmaru, Gruier requests Marika to help her find a golden ghost ship. While Gruier claims that her officials are aware where she is, a recent official news report says Gruier is reported missing, much to everyone's suspicions. Suspecting a plot, Gruier becomes a transfer student at Hakuoh, using her popularity to prevent anyone from kidnapping her. Misa does some investigation upon the matter. When Marika is called for an emergency job with Gruier tagging along, the Bentenmaru learns six ships from the royal defense force are heading toward their star system, but all of them are in battle mode and five of them are chasing a damaged scout ship. Gruier believes the scout ship has the item she requested and the other ships are trying to prevent it from delivering it to her. Now knowing what to do, the Bentenmaru prepares to meet the royal ships.
