Moon, Laika, and the Bloodsucking Princess Episode 9 English Subbed

Arnak manages to successfully launch a chimpanzee into space and recover it safely, showing that they are quickly catching up to Zirnitra in the space race. The worried Zirnitran government puts additional pressure on Korovin to get their first manned flight ready as soon as possible. At LAIKA44, Lev is chosen as one of the three cosmonauts along with Mikhail Yashin and Roza Plevitskaya that will participate in their first manned space flight. However, training continues as the regimen is adapted according to data gained from Irina’s flight, and there is still the question of who will be designated the lead cosmonaut, though Mikhail is the expected frontrunner. During a parachute training test, Roza loses focus and enters a dangerous spin, which Lev risks his life to save her from. Afterwards, Roza confides in Lev that she had to become hypercompetitive in order to overcome her male rivals, which earned her the nickname “The White Rose of Sangrad”. Irina sees Lev talking with Roza and decides to avoid him, and narrowly avoids being run over by a rogue Zirnitran agent who is secretly caught and executed by Natalia. The next day, Lev visits Irina who reveals she will be transferred to Sangrad in two days, so they agree to meet one last time for a farewell party the next evening.
