[00:19] Mauve     But I didn't expect this. [00:23] Mauve     I just hope it doesn't cause turmoil. SIGN    ACCA First Anniversary [00:43] TV     With the first anniversary of ACCA's     establishment just around the corner, [00:47] TV     there's already a festive air in town. SIGN    ACCA's First Anniversary [00:51] TV     The theme of the ACCA anniversary     festival will be "connection," [00:56] TV     and preparations are fast underway for     the opening ceremonies at the main venue. [01:18] Jean     Sorry for making you come     all the way out here. [01:22] Jean     I couldn't find the time to visit. [01:24] Teacher     Oh, think nothing of it. [01:26] Teacher     I'm sorry for taking up your time. [01:28] Teacher     ACCA's first anniversary is coming up, isn't it? [01:32] Jean     I've been busy with this and that. [01:36] Teacher     Do the two of you live here together? [01:41] Jean     Yes, I'm the building manager. [01:46] Jean     Would coffee be all right? [01:47] Teacher     Oh, you don't have to do that! [01:51] Jean     Is something going on with Lotta? [01:54] Jean     That's what you wanted     to discuss, isn't it? [01:57] Teacher     Yes. [01:58] Jean     Is it her grades?     Or has she caused a problem? [02:01] Teacher     No, it's nothing like that. [02:04] Teacher     Her grades are excellent, [02:06] Teacher     and her attitude sets an excellent     example for the other students. [02:10] Teacher     But... that's actually why I've been     concerned about what's come over her lately. [02:17] Jean     What's come over her? [02:19] Teacher     Does she ever seem to have     anything on her mind at home? [02:24] Jean     Nothing comes to mind. [02:27] Teacher     I see... [02:29] Teacher     I hope I'm just imagining things. [02:32] Jean     Are you concerned about something? [02:34] Teacher     Well... [02:36] Teacher     I gave my students a free writing     assignment the other day. [02:40] Teacher     But, well, she's been late in handing it in. [02:44] Jean     Lotta has? [02:44] Teacher     I mean, even the most outstanding     students can be late sometimes. [02:50] Teacher     That's nothing uncommon,     and it's not a particularly big deal. [02:55] Teacher     It's just that, given the prompt... [02:58] Jean     What was it? [03:00] Teacher     "What are your thoughts on     your career path right now?" [03:19] Jean     Her career path, huh? [03:22] Teacher     Yes. It's been nagging at me a bit. [03:25] Teacher     Since the assignment, she's seemed     a little distant and a little absent. [03:31] Teacher     She hasn't really been herself. [03:35] Teacher     Still, it's a touchy subject and I didn't      want to nudge her the wrong way. [03:42] Teacher     So I thought it'd be best      to talk to her family about it. [03:46] Jean     I see. [03:48] Teacher     Have you ever discussed     Lotta's future with her? [03:54] Jean     Now that you mention it, [03:55] Jean     I don't think we've talked about     anything like that face-to-face. [04:01] Teacher     I'm thinking I may have     just been worrying too much. [04:05] Jean     Oh, no. I appreciate you coming to me. [04:19] Jean     Hello? [04:20] Jean     Lotta? [04:21] Lotta     Yeah. [04:22] Lotta     What's up, Jean? [04:23] Jean     Nothing in particular.     I was just wondering how Kororē was. [04:29] Lotta     What do you mean? [04:30] Jean     This was your first time entering     Dōwā from Kororē, wasn't it? [04:34] Jean     Was everything all right? [04:35] Lotta     Why wouldn't it be? [04:37] Lotta     Everything was totally fine. [04:39] Lotta     This is my third trip here. [04:42] Lotta     I'm getting used to traveling, too. [04:44] Lotta     Oh, I bought tons of chocolate. [04:47] Lotta     You're gonna love it. [04:48] Jean     That so? [04:50] Jean     I'm glad, then. [04:51] Lotta     Hey, is something wrong, Jean? [04:55] Jean     Well, your teacher came by to... [05:00] Lotta     Oh, hang on! Someone's here! [05:03] Lotta     Coming! [05:09] Lotta     Sorry, it was Magie. [05:11] Lotta     Prince Schwan is going     on a walk with the king. [05:14] Lotta     He's asking if I want to come. [05:15] Jean     Yeah? [05:16] Jean     Sounds like the king is doing well. [05:19] Lotta     Yeah. Really well. [05:21] Lotta     He said he's looking forward     to the one-year anniversary. [05:26] Jean     I see. [05:27] Lotta     I feel bad for leaving     when things are so busy. [05:33] Jean     Don't worry about it. [05:34] Lotta     By the way, you were     saying something, weren't you? [05:38] Lotta     About my teacher. [05:40] Jean     Oh. [05:41] Jean     That's okay. [05:44] Jean     We can talk later. [05:46] Jean     The king's waiting for you, right? [05:48] Lotta     I know, but... [05:50] Lotta     Is it really okay? [05:52] Jean     Yeah. [05:53] Lotta     All right. [05:54] Lotta     Catch you later, then! [05:56] Jean     Yeah. [06:05] Jean     Today's shipment is sardines in oil     and fish candy from Peshi. [06:12] Jean     From Kororē, chocolate liqueur and... [06:17] Worker     Excuse me. [06:19] Worker     About the potatoes from Fāmasu District... [06:22] Worker     There's been a mistake,     and they were shipped by air instead. [06:27] Jean     I see. [06:28] Jean     We'll go process the pickup ourselves, then. [06:31] Parrot     Huh? SIGN    ACCA Headquarters' Inspection Department Rookie     Parrot [06:38] Jean     Thanks for coming out so early. [06:40] Parrot     It's totally fine. [06:42] Parrot     I usually go to the gym before work. [06:44] Jean     Huh, that's impressive. [06:46] Jean     I'm already beat. [06:48] Parrot     In your case, Deputy Chief,     it must be because you smoke. [06:53] Jean     Could be. [06:54] Parrot     I never thought the day would come when     I would be in the Inspection Department, [07:00] Parrot     sorting cargo and going to the     airport to pick up potatoes. [07:04] Jean     What can we do? [07:06] Jean     We're desperate for help right now. [07:10] Pochard     The anniversary festival     is being led by Bādon, [07:12] Pochard     where ACCA Headquarters is located, [07:14] Pochard     but the idea is that the other districts      will play a central role, as well. [07:18] Pochard     Of note are the booths that will be      opening in the festival plaza. [07:21] Pochard     Each district will be showcasing     local specialties and crafts, [07:25] Pochard     as well as their traditional culture. [07:28] Pochard     The districts are all quite eager [07:30] Pochard     to demonstrate how magnificent they are. [07:33] Pochard     We want you, the Inspection Department, [07:35] Pochard     to take on a special assignment     supporting the Administration Department, [07:38] Pochard     coordinating with local leaders     to manage and direct [07:43] Pochard     what each of the districts      will be showcasing. [07:47] Parrot     "Manage and direct" makes it sound nice, [07:50] Parrot     but we've basically just been handed the     Administration Department's chores. [07:53] Parrot     Is this really what we should be doing? [07:56] Jean     It's the perfect job for us, since we're      already familiar with each district. [08:00] Parrot     But isn't there more important work      for us right now? [08:04] Jean     I think this is a good thing in the long run. [08:06] Jean     You never know when      the department's going to get axed. [08:10] Parrot     Oh yeah, I heard about something like that. [08:13] Parrot     Someone mentioned it. [08:15] Jean     So there's no harm in gaining     experience doing different things. [08:20] Parrot     But I'd like to think that now is exactly when [08:22] Parrot     the Inspection Department is most important. [08:26] Jean     What do you mean? [08:28] Parrot     It's times like these that     surveillance is critical, isn't it? [08:32] Parrot     Furawau could be hatching a plot     with another district as we speak. [08:38] Parrot     Those people... [08:41] Parrot     Everyone's happy about     the new administration, [08:44] Parrot     but can you tell me how, specifically,      things have gotten better? [08:50] Parrot     All that's really changed is [08:52] Parrot     the Five Chief Officers system      getting scrapped [08:54] Parrot     and Furawau being exposed as dissidents. [08:57] Parrot     We still don't even know why they separated. [09:02] Parrot     They vanished in the midst     of the ceremony, too. [09:07] Parrot     It's only natural to be suspicious. [09:10] Parrot     Everyone my age in the department is worried [09:14] Parrot     that Furawau might be up to something. [09:17] Parrot     This really isn't the time     to be picking up potatoes. [09:24] Parrot     Are you listening, Deputy Chief? [09:28] Jean     Parrot, I hear that you admire     District Chief Pine. [09:33] Parrot     Y-Yes. [09:34] Parrot     I'm, well... [09:36] Jean     How tall are you? [09:37] Parrot     A hundred, uh... [09:39] Parrot     I'm ten centimeters shorter than     the district chief, at 198 centimeters. [09:42] Jean     You'll fit just perfectly, then. [09:46] Jean     The Mr. Jumō costume is surprisingly big. [09:51] Jean     I'm told District Chief Pine was     the one who came up with the idea. [09:55] Parrot     W-Well... [09:58] Parrot     If it's work, I'll do it. [10:09] Owl     Still at it? [10:11] Jean     Yes. [10:13] Jean     I still have some day-to-day work to do. [10:15] Owl     I'm sorry. [10:17] Owl     With everyone off to the other districts,      all the work's been dumped on you. [10:24] Jean     It's fine every once in a while. [10:26] Jean     It's for the festival, after all. [10:29] Owl     It's a little lonely around here      when it's so quiet. [10:33] Jean     They said they'll bring back      plenty of souvenirs. [10:37] Jean     Let's just look forward to their return. [10:38] Owl     Yeah. [10:40] Jean     I have Parrot, too. [10:42] Jean     I'll be fine. [10:43] Owl     Speaking of, how is he? [10:45] Owl     He seems like a bit of a tough nut. [10:50] Jean     I haven't entirely figured him out yet,      but I think he's working hard. [10:55] Owl     That's good to hear. [10:57] Owl     Now, remind me...      What are your plans for tomorrow? [11:02] Jean     We have a meeting in the morning,     and then I'll be heading to Birra. [11:07] Owl     Birra? [11:09] Jean     It wasn't originally on my schedule, [11:11] Jean     but it seems there's a disagreement      regarding their booth. [11:17] Jean     The Administration Department     asked me to reconcile it. [11:19] Owl     I see. [11:21] Owl     You've certainly got your hands full. [11:23] Owl     Don't push yourself too hard, though. [11:26] Jean     I know. [11:34] Parrot     Hello. [11:37] Jean     Oh? You're still here? [11:39] Parrot     Deputy Chief, this is from     the Administration Department. [11:42] Jean     Oh, right. [11:44] Jean     Thanks. [11:45] Parrot     I tried asking them directly,      but it was pointless. [11:49] Parrot     Why can't I take on the Birra job? [11:53] Parrot     It's too risky for you to vacate     headquarters right now. [11:58] Jean     The Administration Department     knows what it's doing, I'm sure. [12:03] Parrot     But you have an important     planning meeting tomorrow, too. [12:08] Jean     You'll be there, too. [12:09] Jean     I'll leave it to you if I really need to. [12:11] Parrot     W-Well, if you insist, Deputy Chief... [12:16] Parrot     But I can't help but think that     this is what makes ACCA so... [12:24] Parrot     Deputy Chief, could I have one? [12:29] Jean     Weren't you against smoking this morning? [12:32] Parrot     One cigarette won't hurt. [12:36] Jean     Sorry, that was my last one. [12:50] Lotta     You can't come pick me up? [12:51] Jean     No. [12:52] Jean     I was hoping that I could, especially with     the luggage you're bringing back. [12:57] Jean     But as it turns out,     I have to leave immediately. [13:01] Lotta     I see. [13:03] Lotta     Okay. [13:04] Lotta     You must be busy, huh, Jean? [13:07] Jean     Sorry. [13:09] Lotta     Nah. [13:10] Lotta     I don't have that much to carry. [13:13] Lotta     Don't worry about it. [13:14] Jean     I was hoping I'd at least get to see you. [13:17] Lotta     I'll be fine. [13:18] Lotta     I'm not a child. [13:20] Lotta     Don't worry about me. [13:22] Lotta     Okay. [13:23] Lotta     Bye now. [13:24] Jean     Yeah. [13:31] Jean     Not a child, huh? SIGN    Arrivals SIGN    Birra District [14:07] Sandpiper     What's on your mind, Deputy Chief? [14:09] Jean     Oh, nothing. [14:11] Sandpiper     Thanks for coming out here. [14:13] Sandpiper     My branch director was all like, [14:14] Sandpiper     "There's nothing from our district     that's fit for the festival." [14:19] Jean     So I heard. [14:21] Sandpiper     Well, there's no time like the present. [14:23] Sandpiper     Let's get going, shall we? [14:25] Sandpiper     My car's parked over there. [14:27] Jean     The road's snowed over. [14:29] Jean     Don't overdo it. [14:30] Sandpiper     Don't sweat it. [14:31] Sandpiper     Cars here're all-wheel drive. [14:52] Sandpiper     I've arranged for the rye and booze [14:53] Sandpiper     to go out on the first     shipment tomorrow morning. [14:56] Jean     Thanks. [14:57] Jean     You sure work fast. [15:00] Sandpiper     Not as fast as you, Deputy Chief. [15:03] Sandpiper     Man, I'm glad we got that cleared up. [15:06] Sandpiper     You really are in a league of your own. [15:08] Jean     It was only because you gave     me a chance to save face. [15:11] Jean     Besides, the booze here is definitely     something to be proud of. [15:15] Jean     The rye bread is delicious, too. [15:18] Sandpiper     Oh, don't toast just yet. [15:21] Nino     Sorry. I finally made it. [15:29] Jean     Nino. [15:31] Sandpiper     Ninox just happened to be here     taking photos of the aurora. [15:35] Jean     Wow, that's something you do, huh? [15:38] Nino     Wanna see? [15:39] Jean     Yeah. [15:40] Jean     Later. [15:41] Nino     I'll send them once they're developed. [15:45] Sandpiper     This is great. It's like a mini-reunion. [15:48] Sandpiper     I invited Dunlin, too,     but he said he couldn't make it. [15:53] Jean     Figures. [15:54] Jean     He's in Jumōku, isn't he? [15:56] Sandpiper     If I were him, I'd try to make it anyway. [16:00] Nino     You sure haven't changed since high school. [16:03] Jean     Speaking of which, you know Dunlin, too? [16:06] Nino     I do. [16:08] Sandpiper     The three of us took the same elective class. [16:11] Nino     Yeah. [16:12] Nino     And we started hanging out      every now and then. [16:16] Jean     Right, you mentioned that. [16:19] Sandpiper     We never really met up outside     of school, though, did we? [16:23] Sandpiper     You never came when we invited you. [16:26] Nino     Is that right? [16:27] Jean     You've always been that way, haven't you? [16:30] Sandpiper     So have you, Deputy Chief. [16:32] Jean     Me? [16:33] Sandpiper     You've both always been     weirdly unapproachable. [16:38] Jean     You're just too outgoing. [16:42] Nino     Besides, I always had club work to do. [16:45] Sandpiper     Oh, yeah! You were in the     photography club, weren't you? [16:48] Nino     Yeah. [16:49] Sandpiper     I heard your advisory teacher,     Mr. Wind, is the principal now. [16:53] Nino     Really? [16:55] Nino     I wonder how he's doing. [16:57] Sandpiper     It would suck for the students if     he's still just as strait-laced. [17:00] Sandpiper     He used to yell at me all the time. [17:03] Nino     You sure haven't changed. [17:05] Sandpiper     Say, Nino, you're a photographer now, right? [17:10] Sandpiper     That's really something. [17:12] Sandpiper     You realized your dream, didn't you? [17:14] Nino     I guess so. [17:16] Sandpiper     I mean, my dream basically came true, too. [17:19] Jean     Your dream was to join ACCA? [17:23] Sandpiper     My dream was to become      a super popular elite. [17:27] Jean     I see. [17:29] Sandpiper     Maybe not as much as the Deputy Chief, [17:30] Sandpiper     but Inspection Department     leaders are pretty popular. [17:33] Nino     You're popular? [17:35] Jean     Who knows? [17:36] Sandpiper     You're super popular. [17:38] Sandpiper     Speaking of which,     what's your type, Deputy Chief? [17:41] Jean     My type? [17:42] Sandpiper     You know, what kind of person are you into? [17:48] Sandpiper     What about Director-General Mauve? [17:50] Sandpiper     You're both good at what you do. [17:51] Sandpiper     I bet you'd make a great couple. [17:56] Sandpiper     Well, I live over that way. [17:58] Sandpiper     Let's get drinks again sometime. [18:05] Jean     I feel like I don't fit in     with my subordinates these days. [18:11] Jean     The way we interact, the way we think... [18:14] Jean     It wasn't like that before. [18:17] Jean     Maybe I'm getting old. [18:18] Nino     I never thought I'd hear that from you. [18:23] Nino     But you have Lotta. [18:26] Nino     It should be easy enough     to figure out stuff like that. [18:31] Jean     I don't know. [18:32] Jean     I thought I understood Lotta,     but it turns out I might be pretty clueless. [18:41] Jean     Lotta's teacher told me the other day that [18:45] Jean     she's been acting strange at school lately. [18:48] Jean     But I haven't noticed anything at all. [18:52] Nino     Acting strange? How so? [18:55] Jean     I don't even know. [18:58] Jean     Her teacher thinks she might     be worried about her future. [19:03] Jean     But that might not be the only thing. [19:07] Jean     Have you heard anything? [19:09] Nino     Nothing really. [19:10] Nino     I haven't gotten any calls lately either,      come to think of it. [19:13] Jean     I see. [19:15] Jean     I guess she's just at that age. [19:20] Jean     Say, Nino... [19:25] Jean     What were we doing back in the day? [19:29] Jean     Back when we were Lotta's age. [19:33] Nino     Dunno. [19:35] Nino     I was focused on what was ahead of me. [19:38] Jean     Well, in your case,     you had things to deal with. [19:42] Nino     So did you. [19:44] Jean     That's true. [19:46] Nino     If it's bothering you,     why don't you ask Lotta directly? [19:51] Nino     You two don't actually talk about much [19:56] Nino     other than what you ask each other. [19:58] Nino     Because you're too kind. [20:00] Nino     You blabber on when you get drunk,     but that doesn't work for Lotta. [20:07] Jean     You're right. [20:48] Jean     Lotta... SIGN    My Career Path [21:17] Lotta     Jean's home... SIGN    My Career Path [21:42] Parrot     Are you listening, Deputy Chief? [21:45] Jean     Oh, yeah. SIGN    A welcome home gift! [21:52] Owl     Lotta? [21:54] Owl     I wouldn't mind, but is something the matter? [21:58] Jean     No, not exactly... [22:02] Jean     She doesn't have school today,     but she left early this morning. [22:06] Jean     So... [22:09] Jean     It would be great if you could     keep an eye out for her. [22:13] Jean     I'll be leaving again. [22:15] Owl     That's right. You have another     business trip today. [22:19] Jean     Yes. [22:20] Jean     On day-to-day business. [22:22] Jean     I'll be back before the festival tomorrow. [22:24] Owl     All right, I'll take a look around     and see if I can find Lotta. [22:28] Jean     Thank you. [22:33] Parrot     Deputy Chief. [22:36] Parrot     Do you have a moment? [22:39] Parrot     That rumor seems to be quite reliable. [22:43] Jean     Rumor? [22:45] Parrot     The one I told you about      on the phone last night. [22:48] Parrot     The rumor about the former chiefs     gathering in Bādon for the festival opening. [22:54] Jean     Right, you mentioned that. [22:57] Jean     Your intelligence network buddies     uncovered that, right? [23:00] Parrot     We've confirmed that District Chief Pine [23:02] Parrot     and District Chief Pastis will both be     taking leave at the time of the event. [23:07] Parrot     I still think Furawau is on the move. [23:11] Parrot     And as a diversion,      they're gathering all the ACCA chiefs [23:15] Parrot     in a demonstration of solidarity      at an anniversary event. [23:21] Parrot     I believe that's what they're up to. [23:24] Jean     I'd expect that we'd have received     some kind of notification in that case. [23:28] Parrot     That's true, but... [23:30] Jean     At the very least,     I haven't gotten anything. [23:34] Parrot     Everyone suspects there's     something going on. [23:37] Parrot     Especially because nothing's      being made public. [23:41] Jean     That's a bit of a stretch. [23:45] Parrot     I hope you're right. [23:49] Owl     Hmm, I haven't received any such report. [23:54] Pine     I determined that there     was no reason to report it. [23:58] Owl     So be it. [24:00] Pine     Still, I didn't expect to run into you here. [24:05] Pine     That was a miscalculation. [24:07] Pine     It's been quite a while since     we've had time to chat, Owl. [24:11] Owl     So, why tell me all this? [24:17] Owl     Why are you telling me about something     that wasn't worth reporting? [24:21] Pine     Because we can't have     the Inspection Department [24:24] Pine     sniffing around and causing a fuss. [24:30] Owl     We can't have Jumōku causing a fuss. [24:33] Pine     Is that why you're telling me this? [24:37] Owl     When you learned about     Jean Otus's birth and the coup, [24:43] Owl     and when ACCA then made its move, [24:45] Owl     you must have come to realize [24:48] Owl     who's really controlling Furawau. [24:53] Owl     We'd like for Jumōku to just     quietly watch over this turmoil. [25:02] Owl     It seems the tables have turned since then. [25:06] Pine     I'm sure you've heard the rumors going around. [25:12] Owl     Are the others here, as well? [25:15] Pine     I'm not sure. SIGN    Suitsu District [25:26] Servant     Sir, what will you do? [25:32] Bastis     I never would have thought this scenery     would look so different to me. [25:40] Bastis     Nothing's even changing. [25:43] Bastis     No one loves this nation more than I do. [25:49] Bastis     I'll be repaid for the humiliation     that I was made to suffer. [25:59] Servant     It seems to me as though the air is     becoming clearer, slowly but surely. [26:06] Bastis     I'm proud of the beloved citizens      of our district. SIGN    Furawau [26:19] Lilium     Even ACCA, which is tasked     with protecting the nation... [26:22] Lilium     Everyone outside of headquarters thinks     of their district when they think of peace. [26:26] Lilium     In the end, all anyone cares about     is protecting their own district. [26:31] Lilium     I want to get this over with and come home. [26:34] Lilium     Seizing the kingdom's power will take time. [26:38] Lilium     If it weren't for that,     it would all be over in an instant. [26:42] Lilium     I believe I have the eyes     not to miss the opportunity. SIGN    Yakkara District [27:04] Spade     What's your wager? [27:06] Bakara     The path you walk, Detective Spade. [27:11] Bakara     If I win, I'll have you go to Bādon. [27:23] Spade     I didn't get the spade I wanted. [27:26] Spade     What am I supposed to do     at headquarters, Chief Baccarat? [27:33] Bakara     The Five Chief Officers. [27:37] Canary     What can I do for you? [27:40] Spade     Oh, it's nothing special. [27:46] Spade     I just wanted to play a game,     Branch Supervisor Canary. [27:55] Wind     I never expected to see you here. [27:58] Nino     It'd been too long since I saw you last, sir. [28:02] Nino     You haven't changed at all, Mr. Wind. [28:11] Wind     I hear you do camera work now. [28:15] Nino     Where'd you hear that? [28:17] Wind     I saw your photos in this magazine. [28:22] Nino     That's right. You always were an avid reader. [28:27] Wind     I'm pleased to see you've     taken up photography for a living. [28:30] Wind     You always had talent. [28:32] Nino     Thanks to your instruction. [28:35] Wind     Back in high school, you'd often     taken pictures of your friends. [28:40] Nino     One of those friends has a younger sister     attending this school now. [28:44] Wind     Lotta Otus? [28:47] Nino     You knew? [28:49] Wind     Of course. [28:50] Wind     She came by the day she enrolled. [28:53] Wind     To thank me for taking care of     her brother and his friends. [28:57] Wind     She's a very good girl. [28:59] Wind     She's bright and cheerful,      but she also has a thoughtful side. [29:03] Nino     You know her well. [29:05] Wind     She's popular with the club members. [29:08] Wind     She often models for them. [29:11] Nino     I had no idea. [29:12] Wind     Speaking of, she came by     to ask me for advice the other day. [29:18] Nino     Lotta did? [29:19] Wind     Yeah. [29:20] Wind     Well, it wasn't all that big a deal, [29:23] Wind     but she's thinking a bit about her future. [29:26] Nino     Her future, huh? [29:30] Wind     Are you interested? [29:32] Nino     Yes. [29:33] Nino     Jean's been worried that it seems     to be getting to her these days. [29:39] Jean     What were we doing back in the day? [29:43] Nino     I mean, I'd be lying if I     said I wasn't worried, either. [29:47] Wind     Listen, there's nothing to worry about. [29:51] Wind     She's no different than     how you were way back when. [29:55] Wind     You two certainly agonized     over it just the same. [29:59] Wind     Nothing has changed. [30:01] Wind     It's a road that everyone must walk. [30:13] Jean     My career path, huh? [30:17] Jean     There isn't really anything I want to do. [30:24] Jean     I have to take care of Lotta, too. [30:28] Nino     Your grades are good. [30:29] Nino     Why don't you try the ACCA employment exam? [30:32] Jean     ACCA? [30:34] Nino     There must be someone you admire, [30:36] Nino     even if there isn't anything you want to do. [30:41] Jean     Do you have someone like that? [30:43] Nino     Me? [30:44] Jean     Yeah. [30:49] Nino     I guess. [30:53] Nino     I'll do detective work,     like my father did. [30:56] Wind     Is that so? [30:58] Nino     You aren't going to stop me? [31:01] Wind     Why do you think I would? [31:11] Wind     Ultimately, you have to fly     with your own wings, Ninox. [31:17] Wind     Whether it's spreading those wings      or just taking a step forward, [31:20] Wind     doing it is up to you. [31:24] Wind     But just because you have wings     doesn't mean you'll reach great heights. [31:29] Wind     Pay close attention to the winds,      wait for the right time, [31:34] Wind     and muster the courage you need      to kick off the ground. [31:39] Wind     And once you're in the air, [31:46] Wind     there'll be turbulence. [31:48] Wind     But there will also be a view     spectacular beyond imagination. [31:56] Wind     The path you take through     the sky won't be mapped, [32:01] Wind     but it will nonetheless be     an invaluable journey etched into your heart. [32:09] Wind     And when the time is right, you'll catch     another wind and set off for another world. [32:20] Wind     So what we need to do never changes. [32:27] Wind     No matter how much you want to     be by her side, or to lend her a hand... SIGN     SIGN    Help Wanted SIGN    Looking for people who love bread and cafés.     Staff meals include bread and soup. [32:33] Wind     Wherever she lands, [32:37] Wind     you have to honor the life she     chooses and watch over her. [32:42] Wind     I'm sure you two can do it. [33:13] Jean     District Chief Pastis? [33:15] Barotto     Yes. [33:16] Barotto     I just got word he's arrived in Bādon [33:18] Barotto     and is headed to headquarters now. [33:20] Barotto     It seems that District Chief Pine     was behind this recent incident. [33:25] Barotto     Considering his wisdom and judgment,      it's believable. [33:30] Barotto     Our suspicions are becoming     more and more realistic. [33:35] Jean     Do you have a handle on     former Chief Officer Spade as well? [33:40] Barotto     Well... [33:41] Barotto     Nothing's confirmed as of yet. [33:43] Jean     Then we don't know. [33:46] Barotto     But the citizens of Yakkara     are gamblers by nature! [33:50] Barotto     They could have read the tea leaves. [33:53] Jean     You mean Yakkara's sided with Furawau? [33:57] Jean     You're definitely overthinking it. [34:00] Barotto     I hate to say it, but that region     is filled with people who migrated [34:04] Barotto     as soon as resources      in Pranetta were discovered. [34:08] Jean     That's a rather underhanded comment. [34:10] Barotto     Right or wrong doesn't matter. [34:12] Barotto     The point is that they're capable     of such cold decision-making! [34:19] Jean     Why don't we find somewhere     better to discuss this? [34:23] Jean     Well, even if Furawau were to do something, [34:28] Jean     it's entirely up to the     central council to respond. [34:31] Jean     It's not ACCA's business. [34:34] Barotto     But it's been proven that if ACCA takes     the initiative, a coup is possible. [34:40] Barotto     That's how much influence it has. [34:43] Jean     You knew about that... [34:45] Barotto     You can't brick up people's mouths. [34:48] Jean     So you think ACCA could inspire     the people to rise up. [34:54] Barotto     I don't know. [34:57] Barotto     But I do think ACCA is tied down     by some old ways of thinking. [35:03] Barotto     Like what happened with Birra. [35:06] Barotto     I don't understand why it was necessary     for the Deputy Chief to go personally. [35:14] Barotto     Even under a new order,     ACCA itself hasn't changed at all. [35:18] Barotto     Worse yet, I fear that it's only      further consolidated power [35:25] Barotto     by abolishing the Five Chief Officers system. [35:34] Jean     All right. [35:36] Jean     Let's go ask directly, then. [35:38] Jean     That'll clear things up quickly. [35:41] Barotto     Ask? Ask who? [35:44] Jean     The leader of ACCA. [35:48] Jean     Or are you content just reporting to me? [35:57] Barotto     I'll go. [36:06] Grossular     The day the wind was born within me,     a storm arrived just before I departed. [36:16] Grossular     The wind didn't implore me to stay. [36:20] Grossular     But it made me think,     and it made me fearful. [36:24] Grossular     What would I do if it was a premonition? [36:33] Grossular     I'll be leaving now. [36:37] Grossular     It isn't like it was back then. [36:42] Mauve     Come in. [36:43] Jean     Pardon us. [36:51] Mauve     What is it? [36:56] Grossular     The wind today is strong. [36:58] Grossular     But it's very peaceful. [37:04] Pine     Well... [37:05] Pine     It's not often that I see you in the     meeting room, Chief Officer Grossular. [37:14] Grossular     You were the one who called me. [37:16] Pine     So I was. [37:18] Pine     But it seems former     Chief Officer Spade hasn't come. [37:23] Grossular     Indeed. [37:28] Spade     I never thought you'd win. [37:33] Grossular     I just hope his absence doesn't     inspire any odd suspicions. [37:39] Bastis     I, too, was subject to curious     glances at the airport. [37:43] Pine     Hey, there's nothing to worry about. [37:47] Pine     Today is just a festival. [37:51] Pine     Yes, and this is just a reunion. [37:55] Jean     You heard it. [37:57] Barotto     Huh? A reunion? [37:59] Mauve     Yes. [38:00] Mauve     Which means you were worried for nothing. [38:07] Barotto     I see. [38:08] Mauve     Of course, I like to think [38:10] Mauve     that I'm perfectly aware     that the members of this department, [38:16] Mauve     especially of the younger generation,     have much on their minds. [38:21] Mauve     Speculations about the status quo,      and even anxieties. [38:25] Barotto     No, well, that's... [38:27] Mauve     It's fine. [38:29] Mauve     It's only natural that the citizens     share similar sentiments. [38:33] Mauve     I suspect District Chief Pine is     keenly aware of all this as well. [38:38] Mauve     He most likely acted as he has      with that in mind. [38:43] Mauve     I've been told that he will be [38:46] Mauve     participating in the festival not     on behalf of ACCA, but as a guest. [38:52] Mauve     That was his intention. [38:55] Barotto     I had no idea. [38:57] Mauve     Do you have any other questions? [39:00] Barotto     No. [39:01] Mauve     I'm happy to hear them if you do. [39:06] Jean     Did District Chief Pine also call on Furawau? [39:11] Jean     The concerns people have,     including about the festival, [39:15] Jean     will not be quelled without addressing     Furawau, Director-General. [39:20] Mauve     I see. [39:21] Mauve     You have a point. [39:23] Mauve     But there's nothing to worry about      in that regard, either. [39:28] Mauve     I just received a letter from Furawau. [39:32] Mauve     I'd considered keeping it quiet      based on its contents, [39:35] Mauve     but it's turned out to be something     we can reveal at the festival. [39:40] Mauve     I'll refrain from sharing details now, [39:42] Mauve     but I'd like you to understand     the nature of this letter. [39:46] Mauve     Furawau merely did what     it deemed to be necessary. [39:50] Mauve     It wasn't looking for a conflict. [39:53] Mauve     The letter makes that much clear. [39:56] Mauve     Thus, we at ACCA will keep an eye      on their leadership, [40:01] Mauve     and respond appropriately as the need arises. [40:12] Mauve     It's time. [40:13] Mauve     Let us proceed to the venue      where everyone awaits. [40:25] Lilium     Bādon is so cold, Chief Officer Pine. [40:33] Barotto     Deputy Chief, about everything that happened... [40:38] Jean     The Inspection Department     was tasked, to some extent, [40:41] Jean     with assessing movement within each     district following the establishment [40:45] Jean     of the new order at the ceremony. [40:48] Jean     Though your motives and beginnings were     different, you ended up doing just that. [40:53] Jean     There's no reason to be disappointed. [40:57] Jean     Going forward, I think ACCA will be     populated with more rational people like you. [41:09] Jean     But change is still a slow process. [41:12] Jean     It may be old-fashioned     for an official like me [41:15] Jean     to visit Birra myself,     but I think it's important. [41:19] Jean     You do have a tendency to become     entrenched in speculation. [41:24] Jean     But put another way,     you're capable of deep insight. [41:29] Jean     And you're extremely analytical. [41:32] Jean     I think you're well-suited     for our department. [41:48] Nino     Long day, huh, Jean? [41:52] Nino     The festival was nice. [41:54] Nino     Everything was perfect, including     Director-General Mauve's closing speech. [41:59] Jean     Yeah. [42:00] Jean     It was. [42:02] Nino     What's up? You look pretty serious. [42:04] Jean     No, it's nothing. [42:07] Jean     I just don't know     what young folks are thinking. [42:10] Jean     Maybe I don't need to try to understand. [42:13] Jean     Maybe I just need to work     through things with them. [42:18] Nino     Yeah. [42:19] Nino     I guess that's what it means      to watch over them. [42:22] Jean     Hmm? [42:23] Nino     Nothing. I was just thinking     about something like that. [42:30] Mauve     Mr. Otus. [42:33] Mauve     I think the time has come     for you to prepare yourself. [42:37] Jean     What do you mean by that? [42:38] Mauve     I mean exactly what I said. [42:41] Mauve     The tree appears ripe to my eyes. [42:44] Mauve     Your burden may grow heavier, but go on forth. [42:58] Wind     You don't need to be certain about the future. [43:03] Wind     Whatever happens, happens. [43:06] Wind     You said you wanted to broaden your horizons. SIGN    My Career Path [43:12] Wind     That's the right idea. [43:14] Lotta     But that's still so vague. [43:17] Lotta     And when I think about     my brother and stuff... [43:21] Wind     Your brother might find a good partner. [43:26] Wind     And someone else who can manage      the building might come along. [43:33] Wind     Circumstances change. [43:37] Wind     It's okay for things to be vague. [43:40] Wind     It's important to cherish that feeling. [43:44] Wind     You can't panic and let yourself     lose sight of that. [43:47] Wind     Whatever works. [43:49] Wind     Just do what you feel is right. [43:54] Lotta     Okay. [43:57] Lotta     So I visited Kororē, [44:00] Lotta     and a new bakery in the western sector [44:03] Lotta     was looking for help,     so I asked if I could do it. [44:08] Jean     So that's what it was. [44:10] Lotta     The owner is so nice! [44:13] Lotta     Their son's really kind, too. [44:16] Lotta     I ran into him at the airport,     and he carried my luggage for me. [44:21] Jean     Ah, so that's who that was. [44:23] Jean     I see. [44:25] Lotta     Sorry, I wanted to tell you all about it. [44:29] Lotta     But I got lost inside my own head. [44:32] Jean     It's all right. [44:35] Jean     I've felt like that before. [44:38] Jean     You should talk to your teacher, though. [44:42] Jean     She was really worried about you. [44:44] Lotta     Yeah. SIGN    My Career Path [44:47] Jean     Anyway, did you bake this bread? [44:51] Lotta     Oh, yeah! I did! [44:53] Lotta     We got a lot of rye from Birra. [44:55] Lotta     We worked hard starting early that morning     to get it ready in time for the festival. [45:01] Jean     Huh. [45:02] Jean     From Birra? [45:04] Lotta     Say, I was thinking about sharing     some with the landlord. [45:07] Lotta     What do you think? [45:08] Jean     I'm sure they'd appreciate it. [45:12] Nino     Hey, Jean... [45:15] Nino     What were we thinking     about back in the day? [45:20] Nino     Tell me all about it sometime.
