100 "Retire from the Sailor Soldier!? Minako's Concerns"

During this episode Minako asks Haruka if she ever gets lonely because ordinary happiness is so far away, not realizing they are so alike. Haruka wonders if Minako is sacrificing some ordinary happiness. Haruka seems to understand when Minako doesn't respond.

Despite the life Haruka leads at that moment, she thinks she is closest to her true self right then. No matter what she does she can only live they way she is living right at that moment. In that dialog she phrases it as, "Tenoh Haruka, who fell in love with motor sports... can only live in this manner, no matter what she does. I have something more valuable than 'ordinary' happiness."

While she notes the motor sports, it is obvious she really means her duty as a soldier. No matter what she does, she will always be a soldier because it is more important than her own personal interests. She has resigned and accepted that, because should she not, she would be running away from something that is a part of her.
