[01:45] Vanessa
    I see.
[01:46] Vanessa
    So you're also investigating
     Lord Pravas' resurrection, lord dragon?
[01:52] Dragon Veg
    That's right.
[01:53] Dragon Veg
    Is that why you're here as well?
[01:55] Vanessa
    I'm glad.
[01:57] Vanessa
    I'm encouraged to have you with me.
[01:58] Vanessa
    Let's find the truth together.
[02:01] Vanessa
    Let's go.
[02:06] Dragon Veg
    Oh, good.
[02:11] Dragon Veg
    It seems like she wants to
    move past the incident in the basement.
[02:24] Dragon Veg
    So this is Lord Pravas' grave.
[02:26] Dragon Veg
    Unlike the others, it's rather grand.
[02:29] Vanessa
    Here in Asga, every year
[02:31] Vanessa
    we hold a ceremony at this grave to honor him
[02:36] Vanessa
    to remind ourselves to be grateful.
[02:40] Vanessa
    But Rosetta...
[02:42] Vanessa
    tried to destroy this grave.
[02:45] Dragon Veg
    She didn't dig it up, right?
[02:50] Vanessa
    No. After destroying the gravestone, she left.
[02:57] Dragon Veg
    That's odd.
[03:00] Vanessa
    You think so as well?
[03:03] Vanessa
    A resurrection requires the dead
    to crawl out of the earth.
[03:07] Vanessa
    But there are no signs of that.
[03:11] Vanessa
    Which means
[03:13] Vanessa
    the Lord Pravas we saw was...
[03:16] Vanessa
    an impostor!
[03:24] Dragon Veg
    I-I thought I heard a voice.
[03:35] Vanessa
    Help!
[04:00] Vanessa
    It's a monster!
[04:02] Vanessa
    I'll let you handle it, lord dragon!
[04:05] Dragon Veg
    But I...
[04:08] Dragon Veg
    Reiko, come back soon!
[04:14] Reiko
    You're useless!
[04:15] Reiko
    How could you allow the precious
     magic stones to be stolen?!
[04:18] Fidèle H 1
    We're sorry!
[04:20] Fidèle H 1
    No one can beat that woman!
[04:24] Reiko
    I failed the mission lord dragon gave me.
[04:28] Fidèle H 1
    Actually, Miss Reiko...
[04:35] Fidèle H 1
    Only some of the stones were stolen.
    Most of them are safe.
[04:41] Reiko
    You deserve praise for that.
[04:44] Fidèle H 1 + Reiko
    – Thank y—
    – But don't get ahead of yourself.
[04:46] Reiko
    At this rate,
[04:47] Reiko
    the number of fake followers and impostors
     of lord dragon will only increase.
[04:52] Reiko
    As those who serve lord dragon,
[04:54] Reiko
    we must chase off the impostors
    and defend lord dragon's dignity!
[04:59] Reiko
    As his primary follower, I shall train you
[05:03] Reiko
    so you don't embarrass lord dragon!
[05:14] Vanessa
    Lord dragon, the monster transformed.
[05:18] Dragon Veg
    That's...
[05:21] Dragon Veg
    The saint was right.
    That's a monster that feeds on corpses.
[05:25] Vanessa
    A monster that feeds on corpses?
[05:28] Dragon Veg
    Normally that's a low-level monster.
[05:31] Dragon Veg
    In reality, it's a skeleton.
[05:33] Dragon Veg
    Its own magic power is weak,
    but by consuming a person's corpse
[05:36] Dragon Veg
    it can take on their appearance
[05:39] Dragon Veg
    and imitate the properties
     of their magic power.
[05:51] Pravas
    Where am I?
[05:53] Pravas
    I thought I was in the basement.
[05:57] Vanessa
    You revealed your true identity!
[05:59] Vanessa
    Don't play dumb, foul monster!
[06:03] Pravas
    How dare you?!
[06:04] Pravas
    Kneel when you greet a great mage!
[06:10] Dragon Veg
    That's not an act.
[06:13] Dragon Veg
    After eating a corpse, the monster
    takes on not only the person's appearance
[06:17] Dragon Veg
    but their behavior, personality,
[06:17] SIGN
    Memories...
[06:20] Dragon Veg
    and memories as well!
[06:23] Dragon Veg
    It believes it is Pravas.
[06:27] Pravas
    Hey! Show some respect!
[06:31] Pravas
    Looking at you makes my blood boil!
[06:35] Pravas
    I brought prosperity to Asga,
    and this is how you repay me?
[06:40] Pravas
    If I'd known this would happen,
[06:42] Pravas
    I never would've created that tunnel!
[06:47] Dragon Veg
    He's really mad.
[06:50] Dragon Veg
    Look at the grave behind you and you'll see.
[06:53] Dragon Veg
    Pravas' body
[06:57] Dragon Veg
    is still buried there.
[06:59] Dragon Veg
    Try to remember.
[07:15] Vanessa
    But desecrating our ancestors'
    graves is going too far!
[07:19] Rosetta
    You understand how I feel?
[07:21] Vanessa
    I do!
[07:23] Vanessa
    Feared as an outcast,
[07:25] Vanessa
    you've suffered greatly, right? But—
[07:28] Rosetta
    You don't understand!
[07:31] Rosetta
    It doesn't matter what others think of me.
[07:35] Rosetta
    Everything I do,
[07:36] Rosetta
    I do for the evil dragon.
[07:38] Rosetta
    With this power I inherited,
    I want to summon the evil dragon!
[07:43] Rosetta
    I don't care if I'm an outcast!
[07:50] Dragon Veg
    He seems to have remembered.
    What should we do?
[07:54] Pravas
    Wait!
[07:56] Pravas
    How dare you?!
[07:58] Pravas
    You mistook another's grave for mine!
[08:02] Pravas
    You'll pay for this!
[08:04] Vanessa
    It's true that all the people
     of Asga were confused...
[08:07] Vanessa
    B-But that doesn't give you
     the right to be angry at us!
[08:11] Pravas
    I...
[08:12] Pravas
    possess the memories and magic power
[08:15] Pravas
    of Pravas himself.
[08:18] Pravas
    I am Lord Pravas the great mage!
[08:27] Pravas
    Stop that!
[08:28] Pravas
    Who do you think I am?
[08:31] Pravas
    I am Lord Pravas!
[08:34] Vanessa
    Give it up. A great mage
    wouldn't be this weak.
[08:37] Pravas
    I'm the real Lord Pravas!
[08:40] Dragon Veg
    He's quite stubborn...
[08:43] Dragon Veg
    In my case, the more I deny it,
[08:46] Dragon Veg
    the more severe everyone's confusion becomes.
[08:52] Pravas
    King of Asga, I can create an evil dragon.
[08:56] Pravas
    Untie this rope,
    and I'll make Asga a powerful—
[09:02] Vanessa
    I don't need your help.
[09:05] Vanessa
    Even if you could control an evil dragon,
[09:09] Vanessa
    we mustn't trample other nations underfoot.
[09:13] Vanessa
    What I seek is peace.
[09:19] Dragon Veg
    If we keep him restrained,
    then no evil dragon will be created.
[09:23] Dragon Veg
    That settles this matter.
[09:28] Vanessa
    Oh, right! I must explain
    the situation to Rosetta.
[09:49] Rosetta
    Lord Pravas?
[09:55] Messager H 1
    I've been waiting for you,
    Princess Rosetta.
[10:00] Rosetta
    Who are you?
[10:05] Rosetta
    I read your letter that was in the basement.
[10:08] Messager H 1
    Soon the evil dragon will descend.
[10:12] Messager H 1
    Finally, it is my time to act.
[10:15] Rosetta
    Lord Pravas must be here as well.
[10:18] Rosetta
    In order to summon the evil dragon,
[10:21] Rosetta
    we need Lord Pravas' magic power.
[10:24] Messager H 1
    We don't need him.
[10:26] Messager H 1
    The magic power we need...
[10:28] Messager H 1
    is right here.
[10:31] Rosetta
    What do you mean?
[10:45] Messager H 1
    Everything is in order.
[11:08] Messager H 1
    It's time for the final movement.
[11:11] Messager H 1
    Let the music commence!
