[00:35] ---
    Agnese...?
[00:39] ---
    Wait!
[00:40] ---
    I wish you would wait just a moment!
[00:43] ---
    What are you two doing around
    the Queen of the Adriatic Sea?
[00:47] ---
    Oh... we just happened to
    end up on the ship by chance.
[00:51] ---
    Is the "Queen of the Adriatic Sea"
    the name of this ice fleet?
[00:57] ---
    The fleet's name
    is the "Queen's Fleet."
[00:59] ---
    This ship is one
    of the escort vessels.
[01:02] ---
    Apparently, you really
    don't know anything, do you?
[01:04] ---
    What exactly are you doing here?
[01:08] ---
    I'm helping to
    search for intruders.
[01:11] ---
    However, I never imagined the
    intruders would be you two.
[01:16] ---
    I might be able to take
    advantage of this.
[01:18] ---
    We just barely got roped into all of this.
[01:20] ---
    If you're going to keep
    yammering like that, I'll scream.
[01:23] ---
    You'd best not get on my bad
    side if you want to get out of here.
[01:30] ---
    For now, we have
    no choice but to obey her.
[01:33] ---
    Just what is in it for you
    if you allow us to escape?
[01:38] ---
    Compensation. As long
    as I get that, we'll be fine.

    #15 Queen's Fleet
[03:17] ---
    What exactly is this "Queen's
    Fleet" in the first place?
[03:21] ---
    Well, it's a fleet built to
    patrol the Adriatic Sea.
[03:27] ---
    I had never heard of it before.
[03:30] ---
    There are only a very few
    departments that do know about it.
[03:35] ---
    We were attacked out of nowhere
    by the guys on this boat.
[03:39] ---
    Are you sure this fleet
    was instituted just for patrolling?
[03:42] ---
    Maybe you literally got
    caught by one of the patrols.
[03:46] ---
    Hmm?
[03:47] ---
    You are the people who ruined
    the Roman Orthodox Church's project.
[03:51] ---
    Moreover, one of you is here
    from Japan, and the other from London.
[03:56] ---
    Well, all pretense aside,
    this is actually a kind of labor camp.
[04:01] ---
    It's where they gather offenders like me,
[04:04] ---
    and have us work off the
    losses that we have incurred.
[04:07] ---
    That's why about the only ones
    on this ship are my squad--
[04:09] ---
    or rather, my former
    squad of Sisters.
[04:13] ---
    Anyway, to get to the point,
[04:15] ---
    in return for letting you two get away,
[04:18] ---
    I want you to find
    Sister Lucia and Sister Angelene,
[04:20] ---
    and rescue the two
    of them from this place.
[04:23] ---
    By rescue, you mean...
[04:25] ---
    Those two used a
    magic spell to outfox the scouts,
[04:29] ---
    and broke out of the lockup.
[04:31] ---
    The two of them were
    apparently planning to rescue us,
[04:34] ---
    once they had
    their preparations in place.
[04:43] ---
    So, the two of them were brought back,
[04:46] ---
    and had the book thrown at them?
[04:48] ---
    Preventing their
    breakout spell must come first.
[04:51] ---
    They'll probably be processed to
    keep them from using the spell again.
[04:55] ---
    Processed?
[04:56] ---
    Are you talking about having
    their powers of thought taken from them?
[05:00] ---
    Meaning, the violation
    of their brain structure?
[05:04] ---
    I want you to rescue them before
    that happens. That's my request.
[05:09] ---
    Doing so will also give
    you the spell to escape, right?
[05:12] ---
    Yes, but isn't the spell already
    known to the Roman Orthodoxy?
[05:17] ---
    The Queen's Fleet has a
    major operation ahead of them.
[05:20] ---
    They can't afford to be distracted
    by a couple of people breaking out.
[05:24] ---
    I will head to the
    flagship as a diversion.
[05:28] ---
    While I'm gone,
    please come up with something.
[05:30] ---
    Are you saying you're helping us?
[05:32] ---
    Not helping you, just using you.
[05:34] ---
    But you're caught too, right?
    Run away with us.
[05:38] ---
    What the overseers are afraid
    of is an uprising by the laborers.
[05:42] ---
    I'm something of a mental safety
    device to guard against that,
[05:46] ---
    if you can call it that.
[05:47] ---
    I have the authority to walk
    around freely aboard the ship,
[05:50] ---
    and am also exempt from the labor.
[05:53] ---
    It's surprisingly comfortable
    living aboard here.
[05:56] ---
    Sisters Lucia and Angelene have
    nowhere to go, though.
[06:00] ---
    They should have just gotten away themselves.
[06:05] ---
    If you are lucky enough to get out of here,
[06:06] ---
    be sure not to get involved with
    the Roman Orthodox Church again.
[06:10] ---
    I know. But now that
    we're so vastly outnumbered,
[06:13] ---
    I'm not so sure
    we're getting out of this.
[06:15] ---
    Oh? Is that something the
    guy who earlier went up against
[06:18] ---
    so many Sisters
    singlehandedly would say?
[06:24] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[06:34] ---
    Your habit--
[06:36] ---
    it was specially adorned to provide
[06:39] ---
    a magical restraining effect, was it?
[06:44] ---
    Shh!
[06:47] ---
    If that is the Queen's Fleet,
[06:50] ---
    then it won't do any
    good for me to go alone.
[06:56] ---
    There is no one here, is there?
[06:58] ---
    No. Agnese did say
    it was mostly unmanned.
[07:03] ---
    That's the room where
    Lucia and Angelene are.
[07:08] ---
    What's that?
[07:09] ---
    Is something the matter?
[07:13] ---
    Stand back, Orsola!
[07:24] ---
    This suit of armor is like a
    robot that runs on magic, is it?
[07:28] ---
    Yes. It appears to be part
    of this ship, in an altered form.
[07:40] ---
    Don't move!
[07:43] ---
    How do you think we destroyed that?
[07:46] ---
    Whoops, I spoke in
    Japanese without thinking,
[07:50] ---
    but you still understand me, right?
[07:51] ---
    If you choose not to heed my warning,
[07:53] ---
    I will just have to use this.
[07:58] ---
    We have come to rescue you.
[08:00] ---
    Do you really think we
    will believe what you say?
[08:04] ---
    Well, you see...
[08:06] ---
    As far as what Agnese told us,
[08:08] ---
    you guys can perform the magic
    we need to get us out of here.
[08:11] ---
    So she told us to rescue you
    and get you to cooperate with us.
[08:14] ---
    S-Sister Agnese, you say?
[08:17] ---
    Consider for a moment
    the possibility that this is a trap!
[08:20] ---
    This is the enemy stronghold.
[08:22] ---
    I cannot imagine any
    reason why we would go so far
[08:25] ---
    as to even use Sister Agnese's
    name just to rescue you.
[08:30] ---
    Sister Lucia...
[08:35] ---
    All right. There is some
    logic to what you're saying.
[08:40] ---
    By the way, how is it that we escape?
[08:43] ---
    It would take too long to explain.
[08:44] ---
    Sister Angelene...
[08:46] ---
    Oh, um...
[08:54] ---
    Awesome!
[08:56] ---
    A subclass of the magic
    that uses ice to build ships
[08:58] ---
    can open up voids within them.
[09:00] ---
    By taking advantage of this,
    we can solidify seawater
[09:03] ---
    to create seabed coasters.
[09:07] ---
    What's wrong?!
[09:08] ---
    I-It looks like our restraint
    clothing is also equipped
[09:11] ---
    with a kind of
    countermeasure spell.
[09:14] ---
    If we follow the right procedure
    and break apart the seams,
[09:16] ---
    we can disrupt part of
    the restraint functionality.
[09:18] ---
    Disrupt?
[09:21] ---
    Then look, there's a
    quicker way for me to--
[09:25] ---
    Now, now, don't tell me you
    mean to strip them bare naked, too.
[09:50] ---
    What's going to happen to us now?
[09:53] ---
    More importantly...
[09:55] ---
    ...there's something about
    tonight's supper that bothers me.
[09:58] ---
    What do you mean?
[10:00] ---
    Nothing in this world is
    more important than the Lord.
[10:02] ---
    I-It bothered me, too.
[10:05] ---
    Three days in a row now,
    they used olives as the secret ingredient.
[10:08] ---
    Oh, and the baths
    are a little too hot, too, huh?
[10:11] ---
    Secret ingredients
    don't make any difference!
[10:13] ---
    And also, the baths
    are lukewarm, if anything!
[10:16] ---
    Y-You think so?
[10:18] ---
    It's true, the grown-ups do not
    seem to pay it too much mind...
[10:22] ---
    Which would mean...
[10:26] ---
    Is something the matter?
[10:27] ---
    I-If you're going to have a word
    with them, I'll come with you.
[10:31] ---
    Yes, indeed...
[10:32] ---
    That might not be a bad idea.
[10:38] ---
    When can we join
    up with Sister Agnese?
[10:42] ---
    Sorry.
[10:44] ---
    Agnese probably won't be coming.
[10:47] ---
    She said she would act as a
    diversion so you could be rescued.
[10:51] ---
    It sounds like she went
    to the Queen's Fleet's flagship.
[10:54] ---
    You've got to be kidding!
[10:55] ---
    The Queen's Fleet
    has some large-scale magic,
[10:58] ---
    meant to protect the Queen
    of the Adriatic Sea ritual grounds!
[11:01] ---
    Queen of the Adriatic Sea?
[11:02] ---
    All I know is, it's held on
    the flagship of the same name.
[11:06] ---
    The key to activating it involves
    a spell of a different name,
[11:10] ---
    known as the Rosary
    of the Appointed Time.
[11:12] ---
    Also, Sister Agnese is used for
    the Rosary of the Appointed Time.
[11:17] ---
    W-What's going to happen to Agnese?
[11:21] ---
    Not even we know all the details.
[11:23] ---
    However, at the least,
    her brain will certainly be destroyed,
[11:27] ---
    and she will be left so
    that only her heart is beating.
[11:32] ---
    The Queen's Fleet has a
    major operation ahead of them.
[11:35] ---
    They can't afford to be distracted
    by a couple of people breaking out.
[11:42] ---
    A-An attack! But from where?
[11:47] ---
    It can't be.
    From one of their own ships?
[11:57] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[12:03] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[12:09] ---
    The holy cannon fire of Saint Barbara?
[12:11] ---
    Just what are they aiming at?
[12:13] ---
    You don't know, Sister Agnese?
[12:18] ---
    Bishop Biagio...
[12:21] ---
    Ship number 37 has been sunk.
[12:24] ---
    Any further fire may
    be interference from land.
[12:27] ---
    Let another department
    deal with any public attention.
[12:30] ---
    That is beyond my purview.
[12:34] ---
    If anything were to happen to you,
    there would be no undoing the harm.
[12:38] ---
    How ironic.
[12:40] ---
    The Rosary of the Appointed Time...
[12:42] ---
    Imagine, an apostate like you,
[12:44] ---
    being the only
    one appropriate for this spell.
[12:49] ---
    Bishop Biagio,
    we have an emergency!
[12:51] ---
    What?
[12:52] ---
    We are reading a giant
    structure underneath Ship number 37!
[12:56] ---
    It appears to be retrieving the wreckage!
[12:59] ---
    A submersible spell...
[13:09] ---
    Orsola and the others...
[13:12] ---
    This isn't good...
[13:16] ---
    I really... could die here...
[13:26] ---
    Toma!
[13:29] ---
    Index...
[13:30] ---
    Do you feel okay, Toma?
[13:33] ---
    Yeah...
[13:41] ---
    T-Tatemiya Saiji?
[13:43] ---
    Yeah, deputy pope
    of the Amakusa Church.
[13:47] ---
    Although nowadays, we tack
    on "of the English Puritan Church."
[13:51] ---
    Here.
[13:54] ---
    Oh, thanks.
[13:55] ---
    Not at all.
[14:01] ---
    Wait, what am I doing here?!
    Where are Orsola and the others?!
[14:04] ---
    Oh, we managed to take all of you in.
[14:07] ---
    We're speaking with the
    men elsewhere, however.
[14:11] ---
    I see. So, is this something
    like an Amakusa secret base?
[14:17] ---
    This isn't a building.
[14:19] ---
    Huh? You don't mean...!
[14:24] ---
    I'd like to say you're aboard a submarine,
[14:28] ---
    but it's not quite as
    high-performance as that.
[14:30] ---
    At best, you could say
    it's close to being a wooden ship
[14:32] ---
    that is equipped with submersible
    capability. It's a diving boat.
[14:36] ---
    You bring along something
    like this to help with a move?
[14:41] ---
    It's only natural that we'd
    have a weapon close at hand.
[14:44] ---
    Besides, naval warfare
    is what we excel at most.
[14:48] ---
    Paper is made from wood,
    and wood is what boats are made from, too.
[14:57] ---
    Agnese...
[14:59] ---
    W-What?
[15:00] ---
    Nothing. Whatever you're going to do next,
[15:02] ---
    you first have to
    tell me what it is, in detail.
[15:05] ---
    In that case, shouldn't you
    be talking to Lucia and Angelene?
[15:09] ---
    Huh...?
[15:14] ---
    Looks like you made
    it out safely, too. Hmm?
[15:17] ---
    Oh, you do not
    have to embarrass them so.
[15:21] ---
    Huh?
[15:22] ---
    The habits these two were
    wearing were restraint clothing,
[15:24] ---
    provided by the
    Roman Orthodox Church, you see.
[15:27] ---
    Yeah?
[15:27] ---
    In order to destroy them,
[15:29] ---
    they had to use your right
    hand while you were unconscious.
[15:33] ---
    Eh?
[15:37] ---
    So you're saying...
[15:39] ---
    Yes, that's what I'm saying.
[15:44] ---
    Toma...!
[15:46] ---
    F-For you to be upset by that...
[15:49] ---
    ...isn't reasonable!
[15:51] ---
    Oh, that's right! This is
    no time to just be standing around!
[15:55] ---
    U-Um, Sister Agnese is still--
[15:57] ---
    We still have an objective to carry out.
[16:13] ---
    Itsuwa, now's your chance! Do it!
[16:15] ---
    Give him a smooch right on the earlobe!
[16:17] ---
    Could you tell them what's going on?!
[16:19] ---
    Oh, my...
[16:19] ---
    This is starting to get interesting.
[16:21] ---
    Please, just listen to me!
[16:25] ---
    Pay attention!
[16:36] ---
    S-Sister Angelene...!
[16:38] ---
    I-It was always like
    this in our squad, wasn't it?
[16:42] ---
    So, um, I did what I always do.
[16:46] ---
    Always?
[16:48] ---
    Rather than coffee or tea,
    I'd like to have cioccolata con panna.
[16:53] ---
    What's that?
[16:54] ---
    You pour lots of fresh
    cream over a chocolate drink--
[16:58] ---
    Sister Angelene, a follower of
    the cross does not obsess about food.
[17:01] ---
    Now, now...
[17:02] ---
    Um... here.
[17:06] ---
    Oh, thanks.
[17:08] ---
    Not at all.
[17:12] ---
    Again with the wet
    towel operation, Itsuwa?
[17:14] ---
    Wow, you're sure taking your time.
[17:15] ---
    No, not making too much headway
    is one of Itsuwa's charms, isn't it?
[17:21] ---
    So then, how did the Queen of
    the Adriatic become the spell's name?
[17:25] ---
    Long ago, Venice and
    the Roman Orthodox Church
[17:28] ---
    were on fairly poor terms.
[17:32] ---
    The Queen of the Adriatic
    was the thing that they prepared
[17:36] ---
    to bury Venice with one strike.
[17:39] ---
    Bury? Is it like a bomb or something?
[17:42] ---
    It doesn't just destroy;
[17:44] ---
    it even steals all of the town's
    culture and history, as well.
[17:48] ---
    All of it?
[17:49] ---
    I'm sure Sister Agnese
    doesn't know any of this.
[17:53] ---
    If she knew, there's no way she
    would just stand by doing nothing.
[17:56] ---
    So in short, we're saying
    to bring back Agnese Sanctis
[18:00] ---
    before this magic can be activated.
[18:03] ---
    Anyhow, it's an awful can of worms.
[18:07] ---
    Even so, we have to go.
[18:09] ---
    Unless we do something,
    Sister Agnese will be crippled.
[18:13] ---
    Would you have us just
    sit back and watch it happen?!
[18:15] ---
    I was always being helped
    out by Sister Agnese,
[18:20] ---
    so there is no way I can say
    goodbye to her without paying her back!
[18:23] ---
    But our enemy is a real problem.
[18:25] ---
    If we surround them with seabed coasters,
[18:27] ---
    we might be able to stop the fleet!
[18:29] ---
    You don't think that all
    it takes to deal with them
[18:31] ---
    is to stop them from moving, do you?
[18:33] ---
    W-Well, I...
[18:36] ---
    Look, Tatemiya,
    you've said enough, haven't you?
[18:40] ---
    Huh?
[18:41] ---
    What we should be arguing over
[18:43] ---
    isn't just about whether or not
    we want to rescue Agnese, is it?
[18:49] ---
    She deliberately threw
    away her own chance to be saved,
[18:52] ---
    to let her friends get away instead.
[18:54] ---
    If we don't do something,
    her mind is going to be destroyed
[18:57] ---
    with her feelings still exploited.
[18:59] ---
    The question is,
    why wouldn't we rescue her?
[19:01] ---
    Doing so would
    prevent the destruction of Venice,
[19:03] ---
    and everything else, right?
[19:06] ---
    In that case, there's
    only one thing to do, isn't there?
[19:09] ---
    Don't you want to rescue her?
[19:11] ---
    If not, I'm going there alone!
[19:15] ---
    Geez, for our part,
    we were past that from the word go.
[19:19] ---
    We've had a plan ready to go to begin with.
[19:22] ---
    Eh?
[19:22] ---
    I just wanted to hear if
    you were ready for this or not.
[19:27] ---
    Tatemiya...
[19:29] ---
    Listen up!
[19:30] ---
    Now that we're heading
    off to the battlefield,
[19:32] ---
    let's be sure to come back alive!
[19:34] ---
    What teaching did we
    receive from the Priestess?
[19:37] ---
    The hand of redemption
    to the irredeemable!
[19:45] ---
    Here, for you.
[19:47] ---
    Oh, my.
[19:48] ---
    I can't use it,
    so maybe you'd better hold onto it.
[19:54] ---
    W-What is it, Index?
[19:57] ---
    Nothing.
[20:00] ---
    All right, let's get started.
[20:06] ---
    Bishop Biagio!
[20:08] ---
    Reading between
    thirty and fourty craft approaching!
[20:11] ---
    They're just under fifty seconds
    from the ship's coordinates.
[20:13] ---
    Can you sink them?
[20:15] ---
    Acknowledged.
[20:24] ---
    They haven't fired a
    single shot. You don't mean...
[20:27] ---
    All hands, defensive positions!
[20:31] ---
    What's happening?
[20:32] ---
    They're fire ships!
[20:33] ---
    It's an unmanned fleet,
    designed to self-destruct!
[20:40] ---
    Giant structure at
    a depth of forty meters!
[20:42] ---
    Probably a submarine!
[20:48] ---
    Confirmed hit on the submarine!
[20:50] ---
    Enemy forces on Ship number 29!
[20:52] ---
    It's the Amakusa!
[20:53] ---
    It couldn't be!
    The submarine was a decoy?!
[20:56] ---
    Don't think about taking over each ship!
[20:58] ---
    All you have to do is think
    about crushing their main force!
[21:01] ---
    You guys head toward
    the Queen of the Adriatic Sea.
[21:04] ---
    Yeah!
[21:08] ---
    Hurry!
[21:10] ---
    Index!
[21:27] ---
    This way!
[21:28] ---
    All right!
[21:30] ---
    You idiots!
[21:31] ---
    Why aren't you helping
    to rescue Sister Agnese?!
[21:40] ---
    They're starting to shoot!
[21:41] ---
    They are planning to
    sink us along with the ship!
[21:44] ---
    They're aiming directly at us!
[21:46] ---
    They wouldn't!
[21:47] ---
    Come forth, one of the 12 Apostles,
[21:49] ---
    publican, smiter of magicians,
    and humble servant!
[22:00] ---
    Not good!
[22:06] ---
    Come forth, one of the 12 Apostles--
[22:10] ---
    Look out!
[22:18] ---
    Sister Angelene!
[22:19] ---
    Sister Angelene!
[22:47] ---

    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    To keep the Queen of the Adriatic Sea from activating,
[23:58] ---
    we storm the flagship.
[24:00] ---
    As more and more new mysteries
    are revealed, Index steps up.
[24:03] ---
    Next time, "Rosary of the
    Appointed Time."
[24:05] ---
    When science and magic cross
    paths, the story begins.
