*Good morning!*
**[00:05] TV**
*We're here at Bādon Broadcasting Station
with the morning news.*
***SIGN*** His Majesty's 99th Birthday
**[00:09] TV**
*His Majesty is celebrating his*
**[00:13] TV**
*99th birthday at Dōwā Castle.*
**[00:15] L**
Huh?
**[00:16] L**
I didn't know he was that old.
**[00:16] TV**
*Various festivities to celebrate
His Majesty's birth*
**[00:18] TV**
*will be held nationally,
including in Dōwā itself.*
**[00:23] J**
Just goes to show how peaceful our nation is.
**[00:25] L**
Jean, you need to hurry up.
**[00:29] J**
Yeah, yeah.
**[00:31] J**
That reminds me, Lotta...
**[00:33] J**
I'm going on a business trip today.
**[00:35] L**
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
**[00:37] L**
I need time to get things ready!
**[00:40] L**
Here.
**[00:43] L**
I'll be looking forward to a souvenir.
**[00:47] L**
Oh.
**[00:47] L**
Your cigarette case!
**[00:51] L**
*You can't forget to take your trademark,*
**[00:55] L**
*"Jean the Cigarette Peddler."*
**[00:59] Man**
Jean...
**[01:02] Man**
How about a cigarette?
**[02:43] Ppl**
Look, a cigarette.
**[02:44] Ppl**
Wow... That's such a luxury.
**[02:50] [Messenger] Sign**
Report to HQ ASAP.
***SIGN*** Bādon District
ACCA Headquarters
**[02:55] Moz**
Everyone, our ten o'clock snack is roll cake
***SIGN*** Inspection Department
**[03:00] Moz**
from Hachikuma, on 3rd Avenue!
**[03:02] K**
Yay!
**[03:03] A**
It isn't ten yet, but who cares?
**[03:07] Knot**
Hello.
**[03:08] A**
Chief, please have some cake.
**[03:10] O**
I will, once it's ten.
**[03:14] M**
Deputy Chief, I heard you'd be out of
the office, so I didn't get you any.
**[03:18] Knot**
Is something wrong?
**[03:23] J**
Our department's getting shut down.
**[03:27] P**
As you know, the Dōwā Kingdom is a federation
**[03:30] P**
comprised of thirteen autonomous districts.
***SIGN*** ACCA Deputy Director-General
Pochard
**[03:35] P**
ACCA was created as an entity,
independent of the state,
**[03:38] P**
with various agencies that are
vital to our citizens' lives.
**[03:42] P**
These include police and fire departments,
and medical services.
**[03:46] P**
ACCA has allowed each district branch
**[03:50] P**
to operate autonomously, as well.
**[03:54] P**
We, at ACCA Headquarters,
have been tasked with
**[03:57] P**
the oversight of the thirteen
branches for many years.
**[03:59] P**
And for what reason was your Inspection
Department created at headquarters?
**[04:05] O**
To monitor the day-to-day
operations at each branch.
**[04:09] P**
That's right.
**[04:10] P**
Approximately one hundred years ago,
when we were politically unstable,
**[04:15] P**
your Inspection Department was created
**[04:18] P**
to monitor the outlying districts.
**[04:20] P**
Members of your department were
**[04:21] P**
stationed at each ACCA branch to oversee
data output on a daily basis.
**[04:26] P**
Further, senior officials also
conducted random audits.
**[04:30] P**
The Inspection Department's raison d'être was
**[04:33] P**
rooted in times of chaotic instability.
**[04:36] P**
And for that reason...
**[04:37] Knot**
I see, we're finally being shuttered.
**[04:40] M**
I figured it'd happen eventually.
**[04:42] A**
We aren't really necessary.
**[04:45] Owl**
We'll be split up.
**[04:50] A**
No!
**[04:53] Owl**
That's right, Jean...
You'll still go out today.
**[04:56] J**
Huh?
**[04:57] Knot**
The next flight is in an hour and a half.
**[05:03] P**
I've notified the Inspection Department
of their termination!
**[05:06] Spade**
Well done.
***SIGN*** ACCA Five Chief Officers
Spade
**[05:14] Spade**
ACCA will finally be rid of the
Inspection Department.
***SIGN*** ACCA Five Chief Officers
Pastis
**[05:18] Pastis**
Was this the right move?
**[05:20] Gro**
We've merely trimmed excess fat
to streamline the budget.
**[05:24] Gro**
That's all.
**[05:26] Li**
I wouldn't call it "excess."
***SIGN*** ACCA Five Chief Officers
Lilium
**[05:28] Li**
From our perspective, it's an
important department
**[05:31] Li**
that exposes what lies in shadow.
**[05:33] Li**
It's quick to identify any brewing unrest.
**[05:35] Gro**
In these times, there is no brewing unrest.
***SIGN*** ACCA Five Chief Officers
Pine
**[05:38] Pine**
A watchful inspector can have
**[05:41] Pine**
the effect of tightening regional operations.
**[05:44] Gro**
That is all in the past, as well.
***SIGN*** ACCA Five Chief Officers
Grossular
**[05:47] Gro**
Now, it is important for HQ to demonstrate
trust in the outlying regions.
**[05:51] Li**
Trust...
**[05:54] Pine**
Well, the matter's been decided.
**[05:56] Pine**
At a later time, we can discuss
how things will look.
**[05:59] Spade**
Indeed.
**[06:01] Gro**
Excuse me.
**[06:09] Pastis**
When he steps out, it just
makes it easier to breathe.
***SIGN*** Fāmasu District
**[06:19] J**
This district is endless.
***SIGN*** ACCA Inspection Department Fāmasu Branch Supervisor Eider
**[06:35] Ei**
Thinking that we're in the
middle of nowhere?
**[06:38] Ei**
It's just that many people aren't
out because the harvest's over.
**[06:42] J**
Uh-huh.
**[06:44] Ei**
The district's primarily agricultural.
**[06:46] Ei**
Do you know how much produce
comes from Fāmasu?
**[06:49] Ei**
Ninety percent of national produce! Ninety!
**[06:51] J**
I think the crime rate's low here, too.
**[06:54] Ei**
That's right!
**[06:57] Ei**
There are lots of really nice people
here, so I have it easy.
**[07:00] J**
You like it here?
**[07:02] Ei**
Yes!
**[07:03] J**
I'm glad to hear it's a great place,
**[07:05] J**
but our department's being shut down
at the end of the month.
**[07:09] Ei**
Huh?!
**[07:12] J**
Eyes on the road, all right?
**[07:14] Ei**
What do you mean, we're getting shut down?
**[07:17] J**
The Inspection Department is a fossil, see?
**[07:21] J**
Given how peaceful times have been,
**[07:23] J**
everyone was wondering how long
the department would last.
**[07:26] Ei**
I didn't...
**[07:29] Ei**
What's going to happen to us?
**[07:32] J**
Well, given that you're a supervisor,
I'm sure you'll be fine.
**[07:37] Ei**
We can't fire our people!
**[07:39] Ei**
They all do great work!
**[07:42] J**
Let's finish up here.
**[07:45] J**
Technically, my job includes looking
into subordinates' performances.
**[07:55] Ei**
Feel free to examine every nook and cranny.
**[07:57] Ei**
I doubt you'll find anything
to complain about!
**[08:00] J**
I'll admit it's well organized.
**[08:03] Ei**
Okay, the next stop is...
**[08:05] J**
Wait.
**[08:06] J**
I'll take care of my other task
**[08:09] J**
while the branch director is still here.
**[08:14] BC**
Otus, you still carry a lot of catalogs
around with you, eh?
**[08:18] J**
You're welcome to keep
any you take a liking to.
**[08:20] BC**
Hmm!
**[08:21] BC**
This is a catalog for donut
vending machines, isn't it?
**[08:23] BC**
Very nice.
**[08:25] J**
Feel free to peruse them to pass the time.
**[08:31] Ei**
What was all that about?
**[08:34] J**
A company president I know
asked me to do it.
**[08:37] J**
I guess I'll start making the
station rounds tomorrow.
**[08:39] J**
The district's huge, so it'll be
tough to get around.
**[08:45] Ei**
What's wrong?
**[08:47] J**
HQ.
**[08:49] M**
Oh, Deputy Chief!
**[08:50] A**
Don't forget to bring back presents!
**[08:52] J**
Yeah, yeah.
**[08:54] J**
Is Knot there?
**[08:55] Knot**
Is something wrong?
**[08:57] J**
Send me the Fāmasu inspectors' shift
**[09:00] J**
and computer-use logs, will you?
**[09:02] Knot**
Got it.
**[09:06] J**
Thanks.
**[09:09] J**
Here. October 3rd.
**[09:12] Ei**
Y-Yes?
**[09:14] J**
The time stamp of the data transfer
from the west station
**[09:18] J**
is off by five minutes on this day alone.
**[09:23] J**
This data's been tampered with.
**[09:26] Ei**
No way!
**[09:28] Ei**
That's impossible.
**[09:30] J**
How long from here to the west station?
**[09:33] Ei**
About an hour and a half by plane.
**[09:36] J**
We still have time.
**[09:49] Inspector**
Well, this is always a surprise.
**[09:52] Inspector**
And there's a festival going on in town, too.
**[09:56] Ei**
We'll be done soon enough.
**[09:58] J**
Are Constables Maïs and Beets here?
**[10:01] J**
Of course not.
**[10:02] J**
Festivals are the best time
for black market deals.
**[10:09] J**
On October 3rd, due to an
anonymous citizen's tip,
**[10:12] J**
the constables went to search
a warehouse on the outskirts.
**[10:16] J**
But there's no record of that here.
**[10:19] J**
Why is that?
**[10:21] J**
I believe the two caught the
criminals red-handed,
**[10:23] J**
but let the illegal cigarette makers go
**[10:26] J**
in exchange for cuts of future deals.
**[10:29] J**
They then came to you
**[10:31] J**
and asked you to modify their
shift logs, didn't they?
**[10:35] Inspector**
Wh-Wh-What?
**[10:37] J**
Since you're responsible for compiling
data, you were torn
**[10:40] J**
about modifying and sending
their shift logs to HQ.
**[10:43] J**
Resulting in a five-minute delay from
your usual transmission time.
**[10:46] Inspector**
W-Wait a minute, Deputy Chief!
**[10:49] Inspector**
What makes you so sure?
**[10:50] Inspector**
It's just five minutes.
**[10:54] Ei**
It isn't unheard of to fall behind by
five minutes for health reasons.
**[10:58] J**
Did you confirm that was the case?
**[11:01] Ei**
You don't trust your
subordinates, Deputy Chief?
**[11:06] J**
The anonymous tip about the
cigarette makers was still
**[11:10] J**
in the report from the day before.
**[11:14] J**
I guess no one thought to scrub
the previous day's data.
**[11:18] Inspector**
You're wrong!
**[11:19] Inspector**
I only did what they asked...
**[11:23] J**
Is that right?
**[11:26] J**
I can smell tobacco on you.
**[11:33] Ei**
Both Constables Beets and Maïs
admitted to the wrongdoing.
**[11:37] J**
At the very end,
**[11:39] J**
I guess we ended up smearing our own name...
**[11:44] Ei**
I'm so sorry.
**[11:48] J**
I try not to think of
subordinates as exceptional.
**[11:54] J**
After all, doubting them is my job.
**[11:58] J**
Now, I can finally leave this behind.
**[12:02] J**
Traveling around isn't easy.
**[12:10] Ei**
I wonder what will happen to ACCA from here.
**[12:13] Ei**
Will each branch become more distinct
without Inspection Department oversight?
**[12:17] Ei**
Or will they simply fall
under HQ's leadership?
**[12:22] J**
I doubt that.
**[12:24] J**
Each district wants to
retain its own character.
**[12:29] J**
In part, that's what maintains
**[12:31] J**
peace in this country, too.
**[12:35] J**
Besides, ACCA is a unified front in name only.
**[12:38] J**
Each of the thirteen has its own uniform.
**[12:41] J**
Just as this district has its unique look,
**[12:43] J**
each ACCA branch has adopted
a form that suits their locale.
**[12:47] J**
That's what I like about ACCA.
**[12:51] J**
If you don't want to return to HQ,
why not request a transfer?
**[12:55] J**
You could stay here for work.
**[12:56] Ei**
I'll go back to headquarters.
**[12:59] Ei**
I want to learn a lot from you, Deputy Chief!
**[13:06] J**
Eh?
**[13:07] J**
We aren't getting shut down?
**[13:09] Owl**
That's what we were told this morning.
**[13:12] J**
What?
**[13:13] J**
But we learned some of our staff was corrupt.
**[13:16] J**
I thought we'd be shut down
immediately or something.
**[13:19] Knot**
Well, all's well that ends well, right?
**[13:25] Spade**
True, the Inspection Department
was at fault in this matter.
**[13:28] Spade**
More importantly, one of the districts
was harboring corruption.
**[13:31] Spade**
The Inspection Department is
**[13:33] Spade**
precisely the kind of agency that can
uncover such corruption early.
**[13:36] Spade**
As such, the department will
no longer be terminated.
**[13:39] Spade**
I can understand that reasoning.
**[13:41] Pine**
Still, it is mystifying why Grossular,
who first proposed the termination,
**[13:45] Pine**
was so quick to concede.
**[13:48] Pine**
Don't you agree?
**[13:51] Lilium**
Few can understand what goes
on in that man's head.
**[14:01] Gro**
I want Jean Otus monitored.
**[14:07] Fire**
This way!
**[14:15] J**
Another fire... There have been lots.
**[14:19] Rail**
Smoking is a pastime of the rich.
**[14:23] Rail**
You shouldn't just do it on the street.
**[14:26] Guy**
Hey, let's go, rookie!
***SIGN*** Inspection Department
**[14:37] A**
Check of yesterday's data from
the Peshi Branch complete.
**[14:40] A**
Forwarding to Data Management Department.
**[14:45] Keli**
It's snack time!
**[14:47] Keli**
Today, we have flan! A five-pack!
**[14:49] AM**
Yay!
**[14:50] AM**
Flan! Flan!
**[14:52] Moz**
Huh?
**[14:53] Moz**
Deputy Chief, aren't you off duty today?
**[14:55] J**
I forgot my lighter.
**[14:58] Knot**
What's that?
**[15:00] J**
A draft of the audit schedule for
the second half of the year.
**[15:03] Knot**
Oh, it's already that time?
**[15:06] Knot**
Hey, this is good!
**[15:08] Keli**
It's a five-pack, so it'd also be perfect
to buy for home, Knot!
**[15:12] Knot**
Five would mean squabbles
over the extra one.
**[15:14] Keli**
Huh?
**[15:15] Keli**
But you have three children and your wife...
**[15:19] Knot**
Well, my wife ran off.
**[15:21] Girls**
What?!
**[15:24] J**
Chief, isn't this a bit much?
**[15:28] J**
Currently, each branch is randomly audited
at least once every two years.
**[15:31] J**
But according to this,
**[15:33] J**
I'm now supposed to hit all
thirteen in six months.
**[15:37] Owl**
It's a directive from the Five Chief Officers.
**[15:39] J**
The Five Chief Officers?
**[15:41] J**
Have I done something to make
them have it out for me?
**[15:44] Owl**
Who knows?
**[15:45] Owl**
Maybe they feel we need to
**[15:47] Owl**
tighten things up because we recently
uncovered that corruption.
**[15:57] J**
"Tighten things up," huh?
**[16:01] Man**
What are you looking at?
**[16:02] Rail**
Jean the Cigarette Peddler.
**[16:05] Man**
Again?
**[16:06] Rail**
Hard to believe he puffs through
that expensive stuff like air.
**[16:09] Rail**
I heard he lives in a ritzy apartment
building in the town center.
**[16:13] Rail**
And on the top floor, at that.
**[16:15] Rail**
Maybe he was born with a
silver spoon up his ass.
**[16:17] Man**
You sure know a lot about him.
**[16:19] Rail**
Rumors about people you don't
like are easy to come by.
**[16:34] L**
The light bulb in the entrance, got it.
**[16:36] L**
I'll make sure it's switched right away.
**[16:39] Man**
Thank you, building manager.
**[16:41] L**
Welcome back. Huh?
**[16:44] L**
Weren't you going drinking with Nino?
**[16:46] J**
For some reason, I felt I was being watched.
**[16:49] L**
What do you mean?
**[16:50] J**
I just feel restless.
**[16:52] L**
Hey, smoke outside.
**[16:54] J**
Yeah, yeah.
**[17:00] J**
* I guess I wouldn't feel watched*
* all the way up here...*
**[17:05] J**
*If anyone were watching,*
**[17:06] J**
* it'd either be God up high*
* or an ACCA chopper.*
**[17:11] J**
*The Five Chief Officers, huh?*
**[17:18] TV**
*We're here at the Bādon Broadcasting
Station with the morning news.*
**[17:18] L**
Maybe the brass has something
against you now...
**[17:21] J**
You think so, too?
**[17:22] L**
Hitting all the branches in six months?
**[17:24] TV**
*Yesterday evening, there were
fires of suspicious origin,*
**[17:25] L**
Maybe you should just quit.
**[17:26] TV**
*such as a dumpster fire in a
Bādon District apartment.*
**[17:27] L**
We have the family business,
managing this building.
**[17:29] TV**
*Police believe the fires may be linked*
**[17:30] L**
So, when do you start making the rounds?
**[17:31] TV**
*to an arson chain and continue to investigate.*
**[17:33] J**
Today.
**[17:34] L**
Crap!
**[17:34] TV**
*Last night, according to the East
Bādon police, around midnight...*
**[17:35] J**
Oh, you don't need to pack catalogs today.
**[17:38] L**
Why not?
**[17:41] J**
Because I'm auditing the local branch.
**[17:44] Bread**
Thank you!
**[17:46] J**
Their sandwich bread is really soft.
**[17:49] Knot**
Oh, I had no idea.
**[17:51] Rail**
An elite from headquarters,
**[17:53] Rail**
buying bread here, of all places?
**[17:56] Rail**
I thought you lot got your food at the town
center's upscale shopping district.
**[18:01] J**
This bakery's good.
**[18:03] J**
Isn't that why you guys come all
the way here for your donuts?
**[18:08] Rail**
Branch staffers are really good at
finding cheap, tasty eats.
**[18:12] Rail**
I'm surprised elites would
even know of this place.
**[18:16] J**
You know you branch guys
**[18:18] J**
get paid better than we do, right?
**[18:22] R+Man**
Huh?
**[18:22] Knot**
Yeah, it's true.
**[18:25] J**
Our entrance exam is harder,
but our salary is lower.
**[18:29] J**
It's one of the seven wonders of ACCA.
**[18:34] Knot**
Someone you know?
**[18:35] J**
Nope, but he can't seem to leave me alone.
**[18:38] Rail**
Damn him, looking like it all
just fell into his lap...
***SIGN*** ACCA Bādon Branch
**[18:43] Gurusu**
I'm surprised to hear
***SIGN*** ACCA Inspection Department
Bādon Branch Supervisor
Grus
**[18:45] Gurusu**
there's an audit today.
**[18:47] Gurusu**
It's too sudden.
**[18:48] J**
An audit is pointless unless it's sudden.
**[18:51] Gurusu**
I feel my life shorten each time...
***SIGN*** ACCA Director-General
Mauve
**[19:01] Mauve**
Tell the branch director that I'm here.
**[19:04] Mauve**
Do it now.
**[19:05] Man**
Yes, ma'am!
**[19:09] Mauve**
You're here for an audit, too, Otus?
**[19:14] Mauve**
Good work.
**[19:15] Man**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[19:18] Man**
This way, please.
**[19:21] J**
Me, too, huh?
**[19:25] Gurusu**
The director-general is personally
conducting an unannounced audit?
**[19:28] Gurusu**
Has something happened?
**[19:30] J**
Who knows?
**[19:32] J**
I finished my rounds at the west station,
**[19:34] J**
so I'll go to the east station next.
**[19:36] J**
Maybe the north station tomorrow.
**[19:39] Gurusu**
Deputy Chief, you always smoke in the
center of the central plaza, don't you?
**[19:44] J**
The brass doesn't caution you about that?
**[19:48] J**
Nope.
**[19:51] J**
Let's swing by the café at headquarters.
**[19:56] Pine**
Hello, Otus.
**[20:00] J**
Oh, hello...
**[20:04] Lilium**
Conducting an audit?
**[20:06] J**
Yes.
**[20:08] Pine**
Your department managed to avoid termination.
**[20:12] J**
Thanks to your decision.
**[20:14] Lilium**
Grossular changed his mind.
**[20:17] Lilium**
He was pro-termination,
**[20:19] Lilium**
but he took my opinion into account.
**[20:22] Pine**
Those two always butt heads.
**[20:25] Lilium**
I've just never shared the
same opinion with him.
**[20:28] Lilium**
Not once.
**[20:30] Lilium**
It's hard to discern what
he really thinks, as well.
**[20:34] Lilium**
Indeed, he's just like you, Otus.
**[20:39] J**
I'd have cast my vote with
Chief Officer Grossular, also.
**[20:42] Lilium**
Hmm?
**[20:44] J**
I've submitted a request for
transfer many times...
**[20:48] J**
That doesn't change the Inspection
Department's irrelevance, does it?
**[20:52] J**
Or are you saying something is about
to happen in this peaceful world?
**[20:57] Lilium**
We don't know that for sure.
**[20:59] Lilium**
And if something were to, the Inspection
Department might be the first to know.
**[21:05] Pine**
Hmm?
**[21:07] Pine**
It's Director-General Mauve.
**[21:09] Lilium**
She was apparently out on an audit.
**[21:11] Pine**
Oh?
**[21:12] J**
You didn't know?
**[21:15] J**
I assumed she was acting on the
Five Chief Officers' behalf.
**[21:17] Lilium**
Well, given that she's the one acting,
**[21:20] Lilium**
I'm sure there won't be any mistakes.
**[21:27] Lilium**
Well, excuse us.
**[21:29] Pine**
Thanks for the cigarette.
**[21:30] JG**
Take care.
**[21:31] JG**
Take care.
**[21:33] J**
Well, then...
**[21:36] Gurusu**
There really are a lot of fires lately.
**[21:39] Gurusu**
I wonder if that's another arson.
**[21:42] J**
It's already four o'clock.
**[21:44] J**
I'll go to the east station tomorrow.
**[21:45] Gurusu**
Huh?
**[21:46] J**
I'm supposed to go drinking with a friend.
**[21:49] Gurusu**
I... I see.
**[21:56] Rail**
You know, these days,
**[21:58] Rail**
it's unusual for someone to carry
**[22:00] Rail**
something that could start a fire.
**[22:10] Nino**
Is something wrong?
**[22:12] J**
No.
**[22:15] Gro**
That's an intriguing rumor.
**[22:19] Gro**
A coup d'état in these peaceful times, you say?
***SIGN*** The Partner in Crime's Name Is Nino
**[23:55] ?**
Next time on *ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.,*
**[23:59] ?**
The Partner in Crime's Name Is Nino.
**[24:01] Nino**
I see...
**[24:03] Nino**
It's finally my turn.
**[24:06] Nino**
You're really hopeless without me, Jean.

**[00:01] Gro**
That's an intriguing rumor.
**[00:04] Gro**
A coup d'état in these
peaceful times, you say?
**[00:07] M**
Yes, sir.
**[00:08] Gro**
And that's why you've been making the
rounds, auditing various branches?
**[00:13] M**
ACCA was created for a reason, sir.
**[00:16] Gro**
And hence, the endless rumors.
**[00:19] M**
Then, it's only a rumor, sir?
**[00:21] Gro**
The Five Chief Officers will discuss this.
**[00:27] Gro**
However...
**[00:30] Gro**
I will say that our nation is at peace now.
**[00:34] Gro**
ACCA is the symbol of peace itself.
**[02:16] L**
You're going to the western sector today?
**[02:20] L**
Please buy tomato sandwich
bread from Mugimaki.
**[02:25] L**
This is what happens when
you drink too much.
**[02:31] Teacher**
Okay, all eyes on our tour guide!
**[02:34] Guide**
Hi, everyone.
**[02:35] Guide**
Do you know about ACCA?
**[02:37] Guide**
You learned about it in social
studies class, right, Acca?
**[02:41] Acca**
Huh? Oh, um...
**[02:43] Guide**
ACCA was established ninety-nine years ago.
**[02:47] Guide**
A hundred years before its creation,
**[02:50] Guide**
this kingdom was divided
into thirteen nations.
**[02:53] Guide**
The nations were united
by the current king's...
**[02:58] Acca**
Great-grandfather!
**[03:00] Guide**
That's right!
**[03:02] Guide**
But with the passage of time,
**[03:04] Guide**
we entered the era of the
current king's father,
**[03:07] Guide**
and the twelve districts united against Dōwā
**[03:11] Guide**
and attempted a coup d'état.
**[03:14] Guide**
However...
**[03:16] Guide**
His Majesty's father was a peaceful man,
**[03:19] Guide**
so he held talks with
district representatives,
**[03:21] Guide**
and averted the coup d'état by
granting each district autonomy!
**[03:28] Guide**
The negotiations resulted in moving the
capital, establishing a central congress,
**[03:32] Guide**
as well as the creation of an
independent, civilian organization.
**[03:37] Guide**
That organization was ACCA.
**[03:41] Guide**
ACCA was named for a symbol of peace,
**[03:43] Guide**
a species that went extinct the
year ACCA was created.
**[03:46] Acca**
The bird, acca!
**[03:48] Guide**
That's right!
**[03:50] Guide**
The symbol of peace, acca.
**[03:52] Guide**
Acca is what protects our peace!
**[03:57] Knot**
My kids will be on that tour next year, too.
**[04:01] J**
They're that old already?
**[04:16] Rail**
Where's the fire?
**[04:18] Man**
The north sector.
**[04:20] Rail**
North, huh?
**[04:24] Rail**
*If it isn't in our jurisdiction,*
**[04:26] Rail**
*it'll be hard to set him up as the arsonist.*
**[04:31] J**
All good... The audit's complete.
**[04:34] Guru**
That was fast.
**[04:35] J**
That's because this branch is competent.
**[04:42] J**
Another fire?
**[04:44] Guru**
Looks like a robbery, not a fire.
**[04:46] Guru**
A tobacco store was robbed.
**[04:49] J**
Hmm...
**[04:50] J**
Lots of tobacco theft lately, too.
**[04:52] Guru**
With the high taxation, it's a luxury good.
**[04:56] Guru**
Not everyone gets theirs for free
like you, Deputy Chief.
**[05:00] Guru**
By the way, did you find your lighter?
**[05:03] J**
No.
**[05:05] J**
But I've probably found it.
**[05:09] Radio**
* One of the thieves is in*
* block 8, fleeing north.*
**[05:12] Radio**
*We've lost the other one.*
**[05:15] Men**
Know where the rookie is?
**[05:17] Men**
No.
**[05:18] Men**
Damn it! He's gone off on his own again!
**[05:24] Boy**
Help me...
**[05:28] Rail**
Damn, a brat.
**[05:31] Rail**
Brats complicate trials.
**[05:35] Rail**
Just leave what you stole and go.
**[05:38] Rail**
Just go, I said!
**[05:40] Boy**
Okay!
**[05:55] J**
"You shouldn't just smoke on the street."
**[05:58] J**
You're no stranger to smoking.
**[06:02] J**
Agent Rail,
**[06:03] J**
they have high hopes for you, a rookie with
top arrest numbers after three months.
**[06:08] J**
But you've also pocketed and fenced
confiscated goods four times.
**[06:12] J**
You have dealings with criminals.
**[06:16] J**
And now, you're in the middle of plotting
some scheme with my lighter.
**[06:20] J**
In addition,
**[06:21] J**
you've taken the entrance exam
for ACCA Headquarters.
**[06:25] Rail**
The Internal Affairs Department knows that?
**[06:28] J**
Oh, I wouldn't know.
**[06:32] J**
There's a special route, you see.
**[06:35] Rail**
There you go again!
**[06:38] Rail**
Can you even understand
**[06:40] Rail**
how miserable it is to pour blood,
sweat, and tears into something
**[06:43] Rail**
and get nothing in return?!
**[06:46] Rail**
I worked my ass off,
**[06:48] Rail**
but guys with money and connections
sabotaged me!
**[06:52] Rail**
I had no choice but to drop a rank
**[06:54] Rail**
and join a branch I wasn't interested in!
**[06:59] Rail**
You couldn't possibly understand!
**[07:02] J**
What a waste...
**[07:04] J**
Those are expensive.
**[07:05] Rail**
Hey, are you even listening?!
**[07:07] J**
Even if I did, I wouldn't get it.
**[07:09] J**
I don't have money or connections.
**[07:12] Rail**
Right, just look at where you live.
**[07:15] J**
I'm only the building manager.
**[07:18] J**
Now that I know why you keep
pestering me, I feel better.
**[07:21] J**
Since you just hate rich people,
I guess I'm no longer a target.
**[07:25] J**
Anything else you want to say?
**[07:28] J**
No?
**[07:31] J**
Okay, I'd like my lighter back.
**[07:35] J**
I don't think the Internal Affairs
Department's noticed anything.
**[07:39] J**
Be more careful from now on.
**[07:42] Rail**
Trying to get me to owe you?
**[07:44] J**
I'm with the Inspection Department.
**[07:46] J**
Our job is to monitor the headquarters
staff stationed in regional branches.
**[07:50] J**
The actions of branch staff
**[07:54] J**
are outside our jurisdiction.
**[07:59] J**
Uh, the tomato sandwich
bread in two-centimeter slices—
**[08:03] Mauve**
The usual, please.
**[08:06] Mauve**
You live around here, Otus?
**[08:10] J**
No, my sister asked me to get bread
here, so I stopped by after my audit.
**[08:14] Mauve**
I see. Where's the next one?
**[08:17] J**
Jumōku District.
**[08:19] Mauve**
Their bread leaves quite an impression.
**[08:21] Mauve**
Try the fast food place called "Basswood."
**[08:25] Mauve**
It's popular now.
**[08:27] J**
Where is your next audit, Director-General?
**[08:30] J**
I heard you were also conducting audits.
**[08:33] Mauve**
There will be no further audits.
**[08:35] Mauve**
The Five Chief Officers have decreed it.
**[08:39] Mauve**
Did you just smile?
**[08:42] J**
No, I didn't.
**[08:46] Mauve**
Well, good luck with your audits.
**[08:55] Nino**
How was Mushroomhead?
**[09:03] Nino**
Glad to see that.
**[09:05] Nino**
It's supposed to symbolize peace,
**[09:06] Nino**
but it sure flies off at the drop of a hat.
**[09:09] J**
Can I ask you something else?
**[09:11] J**
Lately, I feel I'm being watched.
**[09:15] Nino**
The Inspection Department being watched?
**[09:21] Nino**
Okay. I'll look into it.
**[09:24] Man**
Good work, rookie.
**[09:27] Rail**
I wonder if he was trying
to set fire to this condo.
**[09:30] Man**
Probably.
**[09:31] Man**
He's the arsonist.
**[09:34] Man**
Now you owe Otus one.
**[09:37] Rail**
Heh.
**[09:38] Man**
Oh, I think that's Otus's little sister.
**[09:46] Rail**
She's cute!
**[09:48] Man**
Hey, let's get going!
**[09:55] Nino**
Hey.
**[09:56] L**
Nino!
**[09:57] Nino**
A chocolate sundae.
**[10:00] L**
You and Jean went drinking
the other day, right?
**[10:02] L**
He isn't really a drinker,
so don't overdo it, okay?
**[10:06] Nino**
Sure.
**[10:08] Nino**
What are you up to?
**[10:10] L**
Breaking down our building expenses.
**[10:12] Nino**
You're totally ready to get hitched.
**[10:14] L**
I want a husband who'll join the family.
**[10:16] Nino**
Oh?
**[10:17] L**
Even if Jean quits ACCA,
**[10:20] L**
he can't manage the building by himself.
**[10:24] Nino**
He won't quit...
**[10:26] Staff**
Thank you for waiting.
**[10:30] L**
But he doesn't like his job at
the Inspection Department.
**[10:33] L**
I wonder why he won't quit.
**[10:35] L**
Being a building manager's a pretty stable job.
**[10:38] L**
Besides, the ACCA pay is low.
**[10:41] L**
Do you two ever talk about things like that?
**[10:44] Nino**
Actually, no.
**[10:45] L**
Next time, try it.
**[10:47] Nino**
Got it.
**[10:48] L**
How's work?
**[10:50] Nino**
Busy...
**[10:51] Nino**
I got a good tip, so I have to
run around for a while.
**[10:55] L**
I guess you're a PI-turned-journalist.
**[10:58] L**
Does being a freelance reporter pay?
**[11:02] Nino**
Do you only care about money?
**[11:07] L**
Want to eat dinner sometime, the three of us?
**[11:09] Nino**
You cooking?
**[11:10] L**
No.
**[11:12] Nino**
We'll see.
**[11:14] L**
Then, once stuff quiets down for
you two, it'll be a dinner party.
**[11:17] L**
I'll cook.
**[11:19] Nino**
I'll work hard for that.
**[11:22] Lilium**
As for the coup d'état, it'll just
be a rumor, like usual.
**[11:26] Pastis**
But Director-General Mauve taking
direct action is worrisome.
**[11:30] Spade**
I concur.
**[11:32] Pine**
It's hard to imagine that rumors would
lead one such as she by the nose.
**[11:37] Lilium**
That's true.
**[11:39] Lilium**
But, Chief Officer Grossular,
**[11:41] Lilium**
were you not aware of these rumors in advance?
**[11:45] Lilium**
Those rumors partly led you
to change your opinion
**[11:47] Lilium**
about the Inspection Department's
continued existence.
**[11:52] Gro**
That's right.
**[11:54] Gro**
These rumors of a coup d'état
aren't likely to be just talk.
**[11:58] Gro**
I have obtained information with
more credibility than a rumor.
**[12:03] Gro**
Deputy Chief Jean Otus,
of the Inspection Department...
**[12:06] Gro**
He is involved in this coup d'état plot.
**[12:09] Spade**
The smoker's involved?
**[12:11] Gro**
Weren't some of you also concerned by him?
**[12:16] Gro**
I have already ordered Director-General
Mauve to end her investigations.
**[12:22] Gro**
We, the Five Chief Officers,
shall deal with this.
**[12:26] Lilium**
So, when he goes out to
the districts for audits,
**[12:29] Lilium**
we suspect Otus contacts
coup d'état sympathizers?
**[12:33] Lilium**
It isn't implausible,
**[12:35] Lilium**
but he mentioned that he's requested
a departmental transfer many times.
**[12:39] Gro**
But there is no actual record of that
man ever submitting said requests.
**[12:48] J**
*I don't feel anyone watching me.*
**[12:50] J**
*Good work, Nino.*
**[12:52] Gro**
We allowed the Inspection Department
to continue and had him watched,
**[12:56] Gro**
but he is more cunning than anticipated.
**[12:59] Gro**
We must assign superior eyes to him.
**[13:04] Gro**
There is a suitable undercover agent
**[13:06] Gro**
within the Internal Affairs Department.
**[13:09] Gro**
Undercover agents fall under our supervision.
**[13:11] Gro**
No one else knows who they are,
**[13:15] Gro**
not even the Internal Affairs Department.
**[13:19] Gro**
That includes Otus, of course.
**[13:25] Gro**
Come in.
**[13:32] Gro**
Moving forward, Crow will
**[13:34] Gro**
handle surveillance of Jean Otus.
***SIGN*** Jumōku District
**[13:41] Hotel**
You're in room 406.
**[13:44] Hotel**
When should we bring your breakfast?
**[13:47] J**
Don't worry about it. I'll come
down to the dining hall.
**[13:50] Hotel**
We'll bring your breakfast.
**[13:53] J**
Okay, at eight.
**[14:03] J**
This isn't the room I booked.
**[14:06] Hotel**
We received orders to give you that room.
**[14:19] Koruri**
Good morning,
**[14:21] Koruri**
Deputy Chief!
***SIGN*** ACCA Inspection Department
Jumōku Branch Supervisor
Koruri
**[14:22] J**
Good morning.
**[14:25] J**
After I'm through here—
**[14:27] Koruri**
About that...
**[14:29] Branch Chief**
Otus,
**[14:31] Branch Chief**
welcome to Jumōku.
**[14:33] J**
Branch Director, thank you for
your hospitality with the hotel.
**[14:39] BC**
Let me know if there are any problems.
**[14:48] Koruri**
So, our main systems have been
down since this morning...
**[14:52] Koruri**
We've been trying to get them back up.
**[14:55] J**
This is pretty old stuff.
**[14:57] Staff**
We'll figure something out by evening.
**[15:00] J**
I'll go buy everyone lunch, then.
**[15:03] J**
From Basswood.
**[15:05] All**
Huh?!
**[15:08] Staff**
In this district, agricultural produce
is 2.5 times larger than average.
**[15:12] Staff**
So the dishes are all mega-sized, too!
**[15:15] Staff**
What sets Basswood apart is that
their food's super tasty!
**[15:20] J**
I guess that explains it.
**[15:22] J**
In the six months you've been here,
you guys have all gotten bigger.
**[15:26] Koruri**
Apparently, the average height of district
youths has increased again.
**[15:31] Koruri**
I hear it's 2 meters, 22 centimeters.
**[15:33] J**
Wow.
**[15:36] Staff**
Would you like some cake, too? Here you go.
**[15:40] J**
Well, I'll try this, then.
**[15:48] Nino**
It's way too big.
**[15:51] J**
Nino...
**[15:53] J**
Here for an investigation?
**[15:55] Nino**
Yeah.
**[15:55] Nino**
I came on a local's recommendation,
only to find you here.
**[16:02] J**
Since I mentioned it to you, I haven't
felt anyone watching me.
**[16:05] J**
Thanks a lot.
**[16:07] N**
That's good to hear.
**[16:09] N**
It was just some thug.
**[16:11] N**
Maybe Mushroomhead was involved?
**[16:13] J**
Oh, I see.
**[16:15] Nino**
I'm sure everything is fine now.
**[16:18] J**
You always look out for me.
**[16:20] Nino**
It's nothing new.
**[16:22] J**
Right.
**[16:24] Nino**
Want to grab dinner somewhere?
**[16:26] J**
I'll call you.
**[16:28] Nino**
Okay, thanks.
**[16:32] Koruri**
We just received word that
**[16:35] Koruri**
we can't get our systems back online today.
**[16:38] J**
Oh.
**[16:40] J**
Then, let's go somewhere else today.
**[16:43] Koruri**
Sorry...
**[16:49] J**
Well? Are the systems back online?
**[16:53] Koruri**
We didn't manage, after all.
**[16:56] J**
I see. I guess that's that.
**[16:58] Koruri**
I'm so sorry.
**[17:00] J**
Are backup systems available?
**[17:02] Koruri**
Yes, but they don't perform daily backups,
**[17:06] Koruri**
so we have to manually enter the missing data.
**[17:12] J**
I'll help.
**[17:15] Owl**
Sorry to make you come along after school.
**[17:19] Owl**
I was asked to get something for my staff,
**[17:22] Owl**
but I couldn't figure out where the store was.
**[17:24] Lotta**
This is the place for a cake with nuts.
**[17:27] Lotta**
I've been wanting to come here, too!
**[17:31] Lotta**
Delicious.
**[17:32] Owl**
Dōwā District is famous for this
kind of rustic, simple cake.
**[17:39] Owl**
I hear His Majesty likes it.
**[17:41] Lotta**
Really? I'd love to go there!
**[17:43] Owl**
I've never been there, either.
**[17:47] Owl**
I do feel bad for you and Jean.
**[17:50] Owl**
All the district branches in six months...
**[17:53] Owl**
I'd prefer to do some of them myself,
**[17:57] Owl**
but I'm not too good with planes,
trains, and things like that...
**[18:02] Owl**
Motion sickness.
**[18:04] L**
Oh, don't worry about it.
**[18:06] L**
My brother enjoys making rounds, so it's fine!
**[18:09] Rail**
Crap, what are they talking about?
**[18:12] Rail**
I want to have tea with her, too!
**[18:15] Rail**
She's so cute.
**[18:17] J**
Thanks.
**[18:18] Koruri**
Thank you.
**[18:20] Koruri**
Thanks to your help, Deputy Chief,
**[18:23] Koruri**
I think we'll wrap up earlier than expected.
**[18:27] J**
We're almost there.
**[18:29] J**
Let's do our best.
**[18:30] Koruri**
Okay!
**[18:33] J**
Sorry.
**[18:36] Nino**
Run into trouble?
**[18:37] J**
Yeah.
**[18:39] Nino**
Cheers.
**[18:44] J**
And you?
**[18:45] Nino**
Almost done.
**[18:47] J**
I'm envious...
**[18:48] Nino**
Want to switch careers and help me out?
**[18:51] J**
I don't want to travel everywhere...
**[18:54] J**
Besides, you're a lone wolf.
**[18:57] J**
Wait a sec.
**[18:58] J**
Do you even have friends besides me?
**[19:01] Nino**
I don't have time to hang out and stuff.
**[19:04] Nino**
In my free time, I prefer riding my motorcycle
**[19:07] Nino**
and drinking with you, I guess...
**[19:10] J**
You haven't changed at all.
**[19:14] J**
We've known each other for
what, almost fifteen years?
**[19:16] Nino**
Yeah.
**[19:18] J**
You can be a bit aloof.
**[19:21] Nino**
Really?
**[19:22] J**
You've been that way ever since we
met, after starting high school.
**[19:27] J**
You just stood out from the crowd.
**[19:30] Nino**
Look who's talking.
**[19:31] Nino**
You were pretty standoffish, too.
**[19:37] Nino**
We were kind of alike.
**[19:39] Nino**
That's probably why we got along.
**[19:43] Nino**
Besides, Jean, you haven't changed, either.
**[19:47] Nino**
I thought you might get a bit stuffy
after joining ACCA, but not at all.
**[19:53] J**
The Inspection Department has
good people, but yeah...
**[19:56] Nino**
You really don't like your job there, do you?
**[19:59] J**
No.
**[20:00] J**
Not my thing.
**[20:02] Nino**
But you won't quit.
**[20:04] Nino**
You have a reason you can't quit.
**[20:06] J**
A reason?
**[20:08] J**
For example?
**[20:10] Nino**
Like I'd know.
**[20:13] Nino**
You complain, but won't quit.
**[20:15] Nino**
Anyone would think you have a reason.
**[20:19] J**
Well, even if I quit...
**[20:21] Nino**
I've never seen that brand before.
**[20:24] J**
Oh, this?
**[20:27] J**
It's my first time, too.
**[20:30] Nino**
Want wine?
**[20:33] Nino**
Still buying presents for someone?
**[20:36] J**
I told you already!
**[20:38] Nino**
Oh, that.
**[20:41] Crow**
Jean Otus received cigarettes
in Jumōku District.
**[20:45] Crow**
Also, assigning surveillance
for me is pointless.
**[20:49] Crow**
I'm repeating myself, but my
surveillance is the best.
**[20:54] Crow**
And here, I thought you had faith in me.
**[21:00] Crow**
You took your time to decide.
**[21:04] Gro**
Of course.
**[21:06] Gro**
You are Jean Otus's friend, Crow.
**[21:10] Crow**
Jean Otus noticed your man watching him.
**[21:15] Crow**
I wouldn't make that mistake.
**[21:18] Crow**
I believe the other chief officers will soon
realize that the rumors were true.
**[21:25] Crow**
I'll call again.
**[21:29] Nino**
He's never noticed me watching him.
**[21:34] Nino**
Not once in the thirty years I've known him.
**[21:38] Atri**
Oh, my god!
**[21:40] Atri**
Potato chips and bread from Jumōku District!
**[21:42] Atri**
So huge!
**[21:43] Knot**
Where to next?
**[21:45] J**
Suitsu District.
**[21:47] J**
In two weeks.
**[21:48] Knot**
Guess you can unwind a little.
**[21:51] Nino**
So that's where the meeting is tonight.
**[21:57] Mauve**
We meet again, Otus.
**[22:01] J**
Director-General, would you like some?
**[22:03] Mauve**
Hmm? Oh, sandwich bread
from Jumōku District!
**[22:06] J**
I got ahead of myself and bought too much.
**[22:09] Mauve**
Then I accept.
**[22:11] Mauve**
Thank you.
**[22:15] Mauve**
Otus...
**[22:17] Mauve**
Are you free this weekend, in the evening?
***SIGN*** The Swirling Smoke of Rumors in the Castle

Next time on *ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.,*
**[23:58] Narr**
The Swirling Smoke of Rumors in the Castle.
**[24:02] Nino**
Jean appears to still be oblivious.
**[24:06] Nino**
Well, he can't escape me, anyway.

**[00:00] Keri**
Wow, I didn't think you'd come with
gifts while off-duty, Deputy Chief!
**[00:05] J**
Is there a dress code for the restaurant
**[00:08] J**
called Vert, on 7th Avenue?
**[00:09] Knot**
Vert?
**[00:10] Atri**
There are ten cream puffs in here!
**[00:12] KM**
We get two each?
**[00:13] Knot**
Oh, the sister restaurant of the upscale
restaurant in Kororē District.
**[00:17] Knot**
I wouldn't be surprised.
**[00:19] J**
Right...
**[00:25] Pastis**
Do you really believe what
they said back there?
**[00:28] Spade**
It isn't entirely implausible.
**[00:31] Pine**
What do you think?
**[00:33] Lilium**
Grossular isn't exactly being a team player.
**[00:37] Lilium**
We cannot give him sole control over Crow.
**[02:12] L**
Jean's having dinner with a colleague.
**[02:15] L**
And I was looking forward
to our dinner party, too.
**[02:19] L**
Nino, did you talk to Jean, like I asked?
**[02:22] Nino**
Huh?
**[02:23] Nino**
Oh... I forgot.
**[02:24] L**
Jeez, you're like twins with stuff like that.
**[02:28] Nino**
Sorry, sorry.
**[02:29] L**
Be sure you don't forget to ask him next
time about why he can't quit ACCA.
**[02:33] Nino**
Got it.
**[02:34] Nino**
Well, either way, he won't quit.
**[02:38] Nino**
Not ever.
**[02:43] Mauve**
I'm sorry for forcing you to come
to such an uptight venue.
**[02:47] Mauve**
I wanted to eat food from my homeland.
**[02:57] J**
I'm so glad I stuck it out with ACCA...
**[03:01] Nino**
The Dōwān cake was that good?
**[03:05] L**
Yeah!
**[03:06] L**
It was chock full of nuts.
**[03:07] L**
So delicious!
**[03:09] Nino**
Good.
**[03:10] L**
Dōwā District, huh?
**[03:12] L**
I wish I could go.
**[03:17] Mail**
We have a delivery!
**[03:19] L**
Okay!
**[03:21] L**
Thanks!
**[03:22] L**
Nino!
**[03:26] Nino**
What?
**[03:27] L**
It's heavy. Can you carry it for me?
**[03:32] Nino**
You got it, Princess.
**[03:36] Nino**
From Fāmasu District?
**[03:38] L**
It's for Jean, so maybe it's
from someone in ACCA?
**[03:41] L**
Oh, potatoes!
**[03:45] L**
I'll make a potato gratin!
**[03:47] L**
It'll be great on toast!
**[03:49] L**
Jean loves that, too.
**[03:54] L**
What?
**[03:55] Nino**
Oh, just thinking you haven't
changed a single bit.
**[03:59] Nino**
You've always been the type
to get caught up in things.
**[04:06] Mauve**
Do you have an aversion to alcohol?
**[04:09] J**
I'm not a strong drinker, so I
try not to drink too much.
**[04:11] Mauve**
It's a private dining room.
**[04:12] Mauve**
You can go off the rails without any
damage to your reputation.
**[04:15] J**
I doubt that.
**[04:18] Mauve**
True.
**[04:19] Mauve**
I wouldn't want you to get drunk.
**[04:21] Mauve**
I wouldn't want you to forget tonight.
**[04:23] Mauve**
Otus, this is a business engagement.
**[04:28] Mauve**
The kind where you arrange a good meal and
try to recruit someone to your faction.
**[04:32] Mauve**
If word got out that I'd entertained
a powerful figure, it'd cause a stir.
**[04:36] Mauve**
But you wouldn't raise an eyebrow.
**[04:39] Mauve**
However, where I stand now,
**[04:41] Mauve**
you are more powerful
an ally than any other.
**[04:45] Mauve**
What's wrong?
**[04:46] J**
Nothing.
**[04:48] Mauve**
Are you getting drunk?
**[04:49] Mauve**
That won't do. You can have my water, too.
**[04:52] J**
No, I'm fine.
**[04:54] J**
*I'm so embarrassed...*
**[04:56] Mauve**
It's about the coup d'état.
**[04:59] J**
A coup d'état?
**[05:01] Mauve**
You haven't heard the rumors?
**[05:04] J**
No, nothing worth bringing to your
attention, Director-General.
**[05:08] Mauve**
I pay close attention to any
rumors of coup d'états.
**[05:12] Mauve**
Through my investigations, I have confirmed
**[05:15] Mauve**
that it isn't just a rumor this time.
**[05:18] Mauve**
However, Chief Officer Grossular
**[05:20] Mauve**
has forbidden further investigation.
**[05:24] Mauve**
I would like your help.
**[05:27] Mauve**
You visit every single district.
**[05:30] Mauve**
I'd like you to report any information
you find during your rounds.
**[05:33] Mauve**
In secrecy.
**[05:35] J**
A coup d'état?
**[05:38] J**
Could something like that actually
happen in this peaceful nation?
**[05:42] Mauve**
Peaceful?
**[05:43] Mauve**
Are you being serious?
**[05:48] Mauve**
Do you not know?
**[05:50] Schwan**
A coup d'état?
**[05:52] Schwan**
That's ridiculous. It's just another rumor.
**[05:55] Magie**
But if we only get concerned after one
happens, Dōwā Kingdom is finished.
**[06:00] Schwan**
Finished?
**[06:02] Schwan**
Impossible.
**[06:03] Schwan**
Not as long as I am the next king.
**[06:07] Pastis**
Prince Schwan's Coming of Age
Commemorative Ceremony...
**[06:11] Spade**
Talk about last minute.
**[06:14] Pine**
Attendees requested ACCA headquarters
include the Five Chief Officers,
**[06:18] Pine**
the director-general, and the
deputy director-general.
**[06:20] Pine**
Also, two from the Inspection Department.
**[06:24] Owl**
So, Jean...
**[06:26] Owl**
Sorry to ask this of you right before
your departure for Suitsu District.
**[06:31] Owl**
And about the second invitation...
**[06:34] Owl**
I don't do airplanes, so...
**[06:38] Owl**
I'm thinking of asking Knot to fill in for me.
**[06:43] Owl**
Will you go for me?
**[06:44] Knot**
Oh, but I have my kids...
**[06:47] J**
It will be winter break by then.
**[06:49] J**
Maybe they can stay with your parents.
**[06:51] Knot**
I see.
**[06:53] Knot**
It'd only be about two days...
**[06:55] Owl**
Yeah.
**[06:55] Knot**
Then I'll go.
**[06:58] Knot**
Dōwā, huh?
**[07:00] Knot**
Guess I'll have a story to tell my kids.
**[07:04] Mauve**
As you well know, the king did
not produce a male heir.
**[07:09] Mauve**
His Majesty sired only daughters.
**[07:12] Mauve**
As such, the only claim to the throne
**[07:14] Mauve**
is Prince Schwan, born to the
king's youngest daughter.
**[07:19] J**
He's coming of age soon, isn't he?
**[07:22] Mauve**
Yes.
**[07:23] Mauve**
He will become the official
heir to the throne.
**[07:27] Mauve**
When he ascends the throne, we will
not be at peace as a nation.
**[07:30] Mauve**
He is a complete idiot.
**[07:32] J**
You don't mince words.
**[07:34] Mauve**
I believe the current coup
d'état movement involves
**[07:37] Mauve**
powerful figures in outlying districts,
who fear this outcome.
**[07:42] Mauve**
Even ACCA branch staff is suspect.
**[07:46] Mauve**
I know this goes beyond the
scope of your position.
**[07:49] Mauve**
But I'd like you to do this as a favor.
**[07:51] J**
This is a serious request.
**[07:54] Mauve**
That's right.
**[07:55] J**
Did you consider the possibility
I might refuse?
**[07:59] Mauve**
I do not wish to go against the Five's will.
**[08:04] Mauve**
I'd like to fulfill my responsibilities
as ACCA director-general.
**[08:08] Mauve**
ACCA was founded to serve
the people of this nation.
**[08:12] Mauve**
Though ACCA may have to
confront this nation's issues,
**[08:16] Mauve**
it cannot allow a coup d'état
to ravage the country.
**[08:20] Mauve**
ACCA is not the symbol of peace.
**[08:24] Mauve**
It's the protector of order, one that
will guide the nation to peace.
**[08:29] Mauve**
You understand ACCA's role.
**[08:31] Mauve**
That is my assessment.
**[08:34] Mauve**
Like me, you desire order.
**[08:39] Mauve**
Will you help me?
**[08:46] J**
I understand.
**[08:49] J**
I accept your request.
**[08:54] J**
I mean, when she smiles at you like that...
**[08:57] Nino**
Jean, you're drinking too much.
**[09:01] J**
Hey, look who's pouring me another.
**[09:05] Nino**
And you'll get to see her again
in Dōwā, won't you?
**[09:09] J**
Yeah.
**[09:10] Nino**
Good thing you didn't quit ACCA, huh?
**[09:13] J**
Yeah!
**[09:15] Nino**
I'll be there, too. In Dōwā.
**[09:17] Nino**
It's for a story, given how
big the festivities will be.
**[09:23] Nino**
I'll see you there.
**[09:31] Nino**
Well, let's get going.
**[09:33] Nino**
They've started boarding already.
**[09:36] L**
Okay!
**[09:55] Magie**
Regarding tomorrow's ceremony,
**[09:56] Magie**
I've requested the attendees
wear formal attire.
**[10:00] Schwan**
All right.
**[10:02] Schwan**
I have no desire to see any ACCA uniforms.
**[10:05] Schwan**
After all, tomorrow will be a historic day.
**[10:07] Schwan**
My grandfather will announce his retirement,
**[10:09] Schwan**
and my succession claim
will be formalized, Magie.
**[10:13] Schwan**
After my ascension is announced,
**[10:14] Schwan**
I shall stand before the people
**[10:16] Schwan**
and speak respectfully of my
joy at having come of age.
**[10:21] Schwan**
Then, to conclude, I shall say the following.
**[10:24] Schwan**
On the day of my ascension,
ACCA is to be disbanded!
**[10:30] Schwan**
ACCA, the symbol of peace?
**[10:32] Schwan**
The Dōwā family, my family,
is the symbol of peace.
**[10:36] Schwan**
As in,
**[10:38] Schwan**
me.
**[10:40] Magie**
Nothing is final yet.
**[10:42] Schwan**
Of course it is!
**[10:44] Schwan**
He invited all these people. Grandfather did!
**[10:48] Magie**
It wasn't His Majesty.
**[10:49] Magie**
It was his aide, the president
of the Privy Council.
**[10:52] Schwan**
That's basically the same thing!
**[10:55] Schwan**
Stop talking already!
**[10:58] Schwan**
Listen, Magie... After disbanding ACCA,
**[11:01] Schwan**
my next act will be to shut down
the central congress for good!
**[11:05] Schwan**
Then I shall place the Privy Council
back under royal jurisdiction!
**[11:08] Schwan**
Right?
**[11:10] Schwan**
What's your response?
**[11:11] Schwan**
You may speak!
**[11:13] Magie**
Yes.
**[11:13] Schwan**
All you have going for you are looks!
**[11:16] Magie**
I am honored by your praise.
**[11:20] Magie**
But are you not forgetting one further thing?
**[11:23] Magie**
What about the Privy Council
president's replacement?
**[11:27] Schwan**
Idiot.
**[11:28] Schwan**
The president will retire with Grandfather.
**[11:31] Schwan**
That is entirely in line with the virtues
**[11:34] Schwan**
the president speaks so highly of.
**[11:43] Pastis**
I hear this sudden call for formal
attire came from the prince?
**[11:48] Spade**
Who else could it be?
**[11:50] Pastis**
He sure likes us dancing to his tune.
**[11:54] Mauve**
May I join you?
**[11:56] Spade**
Very well.
**[11:58] Mauve**
All the branch chiefs have arrived.
**[12:02] Mauve**
We are to dine with them tonight.
**[12:04] Mauve**
Should we include the Inspection
Department staff?
**[12:08] Spade**
That won't be necessary.
**[12:10] Mauve**
Understood.
**[12:11] Pine**
Why was the Inspection Department
**[12:13] Pine**
invited to tomorrow's ceremony?
**[12:16] Mauve**
They have in-depth knowledge
of all the districts.
**[12:18] Mauve**
The royal family can ill
afford to ignore them,
**[12:21] Mauve**
given the unsavory rumors of late.
**[12:25] Mauve**
The royal family has made
no formal request
**[12:27] Mauve**
to meet with Inspection Department staff.
**[12:29] Mauve**
But they may put out feelers
at tomorrow's celebration.
**[12:34] Gro**
So even the royal family is
manipulated by the rumors.
**[12:38] Mauve**
Yes, just like I was.
**[12:42] Mauve**
Of course, the Five Chief
Officers are impervious.
**[12:45] Mauve**
All thirteen district chiefs,
**[12:47] Mauve**
members of the central congress,
all ACCA branch chiefs,
**[12:51] Mauve**
and the Five Chief Officers...
**[12:53] Mauve**
Such powerful figures being
assembled in one place is rare.
**[12:58] Mauve**
I wonder what will be announced
at tomorrow's ceremony.
**[13:04] Q**
That concludes the overview
of tomorrow's events,
**[13:06] Q**
from the ceremony to the celebration.
**[13:08] King**
I see.
**[13:10] Q**
Is there any issue with giving the address
at the ceremony, Your Majesty?
**[13:13] King**
Have I ever had any issues with
**[13:16] King**
anything you've informed me of?
**[13:18] Q**
I am honored by your words.
**[13:20] King**
Which sweets will be served
at the celebration?
**[13:23] Q**
I believe you will find them worthy.
**[13:26] King**
And fruits?
**[13:27] Q**
We've not been remiss.
**[13:29] Staff**
President of the Privy Council,
**[13:30] Staff**
His Highness has apparently prepared his
own remarks for the address tomorrow.
**[13:35] Staff**
What do you advise?
**[13:37] Q**
Just let him be.
**[13:39] Q**
It's going as predicted.
**[13:41] Q**
He can do whatever he wants.
**[13:43] Q**
At least for now.
**[13:55] Mauve**
Would you like this bread, too?
**[13:57] L**
Oh.
**[13:58] Mauve**
Are you from here?
**[14:00] L**
Um...
**[14:02] Nino**
She's on my team for a story.
She's my assistant.
**[14:05] Mauve**
I see.
**[14:10] L**
She's beautiful.
**[14:21] Knot**
You're still half asleep?
**[14:24] Mauve**
All of the bread was great.
**[14:34] Knot**
You're eating all that?
**[14:36] J**
Let's split it 50-50.
**[14:46] Guard**
His Majesty has arrived!
**[14:54] King**
I am overjoyed that my grandson,
**[14:57] King**
Schwan, has come of age,
**[15:01] King**
and that I can share this joy with all of you.
**[15:07] King**
I ask that you all enjoy yourselves
to your heart's content.
**[15:13] Schwan**
Is that it?
**[15:15] King**
Yes.
**[15:16] Schwan**
But what about my ascen—
**[15:17] King**
Hmm?
**[15:19] Magie**
It appears His Majesty is not abdicating.
**[15:27] Q**
Everyone is waiting for you
to speak, Your Highness.
**[15:34] Schwan**
I am gladdened to have such an occasion
**[15:36] Schwan**
to welcome my coming of age day.
**[15:42] Schwan**
Those of you who represent our
loyal subjects, I appreciate
**[15:45] Schwan**
that you have come here today.
**[15:48] Schwan**
I trust you will continue your
efforts to contribute
**[15:50] Schwan**
to Dōwā Kingdom's continued prosperity.
**[15:57] Spade**
That was awful.
**[16:01] Mauve**
So there will be no
announcement of an abdication...
**[16:05] Mauve**
Why were so many of us called in, then?
**[16:13] J**
I want to have a smoke.
**[16:15] J**
Can I get out?
**[16:17] Guard**
A smoke?
**[16:18] Schwan**
Very well.
**[16:20] Guard**
But, Your Highness...
**[16:22] Schwan**
As the guest of honor today, I permit it.
**[16:27] Schwan**
What a joker, smoking in this castle.
**[16:32] Schwan**
Cigarettes are scarce in this nation
**[16:35] Schwan**
because the Privy Council's
president became concerned
**[16:38] Schwan**
for the health of my grandfather, a smoker.
**[16:40] Schwan**
And yet, that man...
**[16:42] Schwan**
How curious.
**[16:48] Magie**
She looks like your taste
in ladies, Your Highness.
**[16:54] Schwan**
Find out who she is.
**[16:56] Knot**
That girl looks like Lotta.
**[16:58] J**
Huh?
**[17:01] J**
Lotta.
**[17:04] L**
Nino brought me as his assistant!
**[17:08] Nino**
She said she wanted to go to Dōwā,
so I killed two birds with one stone.
**[17:11] J**
How are you helping him, anyway?
**[17:13] L**
Um, like carrying luggage...
**[17:16] J**
You aren't carrying anything.
**[17:17] L**
Nino said it wouldn't go with my dress!
**[17:20] J**
Uh...
**[17:21] Nino**
Well, let's take a commemorative photo.
**[17:23] L**
Okay!
**[17:25] ---**
Come on.
**[17:35] Knot**
Wow. They all look delicious.
**[17:38] J**
The king does like his sweets.
**[17:42] J**
The strawberries are amazing, too.
**[17:44] Audience**
This was supposed to be a
celebration for His Highness.
**[17:47] Audience**
But all this is to His Majesty's taste.
**[17:50] L**
They look so good...
**[17:52] Nino**
I recommend that one.
**[17:53] Nino**
His Majesty has a particular
fondness for them.
**[17:56] L**
Wow...
**[18:10] Attendant**
Please.
**[18:15] King**
Do you like sweets?
**[18:17] L**
Yes!
**[18:18] King**
Have as much as you'd like.
**[18:25] L**
Did you take a photo of me with the king?
**[18:28] Nino**
Of course.
**[18:34] Pine**
So was what Grossular said true?
**[18:41] Nino**
Director-General Mauve,
**[18:43] Nino**
a comment on today's ceremony, please.
**[18:47] Mauve**
You are one of Otus's friends?
**[18:50] Nino**
Yes.
**[18:50] Mauve**
Hmm, I didn't know that.
**[18:54] Nino**
"That"?
**[18:55] Mauve**
I do my best to know everything
about everyone in ACCA.
**[19:00] Nino**
The Director-General knows who I am.
**[19:04] Gro**
And after that, what of Otus?
**[19:06] Nino**
Nothing of note, but...
**[19:10] Nino**
Have you noticed the president
of the Privy Council?
**[19:13] Nino**
He's paying close attention to Jean.
**[19:16] Nino**
Right now, there are enough
influential people
**[19:19] Nino**
gathered here to overthrow this nation.
**[19:22] Nino**
And everyone's focused on the
man who's entrusted with
**[19:26] Nino**
the responsibility of keeping it together.
**[19:28] Nino**
I guess that about sums it up.
**[19:32] Nino**
Jean may accept his third and
fourth cigarette tonight.
**[19:40] Nino**
Excuse me.
**[19:44] Nino**
Yes? Yes, it's fine.
**[19:49] J**
I'm going for a smoke.
**[19:51] Knot**
Okay.
**[19:53] Nino**
It's all going smoothly.
**[19:55] Nino**
I believe you'll be satisfied.
**[20:03] Lilium**
That's bold, smoking in Dōwā.
**[20:09] Lilium**
Personally,
**[20:11] Lilium**
I find Dōwā's night breeze rather harsh.
**[20:14] J**
Sure you can afford to be here?
**[20:16] Lilium**
Yes.
**[20:17] Lilium**
I'd like to spend more time
chatting with my brothers,
**[20:20] Lilium**
but I'm here on official business.
**[20:22] J**
Your brothers?
**[20:23] Lilium**
My older brother is chief of Furawau District,
**[20:25] Lilium**
and my younger brother
is an ACCA branch chief.
**[20:28] J**
Oh, that's impressive.
**[20:31] Lilium**
You didn't know?
**[20:32] J**
No.
**[20:35] Lilium**
I can tell when someone's lying.
**[20:37] Lilium**
I think of you as an honest,
likable young man.
**[20:43] Lilium**
Are you here to get away from
everyone's eyes on you?
**[20:47] J**
Yes.
**[20:48] Lilium**
You look confused about why that is.
**[20:51] J**
Then, do you know why, Chief Officer?
**[20:56] Lilium**
You're the intermediary for the
rebels planning a coup d'état.
**[21:01] Lilium**
That is what they believe about you.
**[21:04] Lilium**
Those with power and influence among
the thirteen districts, that is.
**[21:08] Lilium**
Rumors have spread throughout the nation.
**[21:11] Lilium**
That's why everyone's looking at you.
**[21:15] J**
Well, that's a bother.
**[21:19] Lilium**
As I thought, you aren't the one.
**[21:21] Lilium**
I believe Grossular
**[21:24] Lilium**
started these rumors.
**[21:27] Lilium**
He desires for ACCA to have absolute power.
**[21:32] Lilium**
It's obvious.
**[21:34] Lilium**
He is the one plotting the coup d'état.
**[21:38] Lilium**
Without realizing it, you're being
made into his puppet.
**[21:48] Lilium**
Of course, I won't let Grossular get his way.
**[21:52] Lilium**
ACCA may suffer internal turmoil, but I'll
be sure to protect order in this nation.
**[21:57] Mauve**
Like me, you desire order.
**[22:01] Lilium**
And for that,
**[22:02] Lilium**
I want your help, Otus.
**[22:07] Lilium**
To preserve peace in this nation.

**[00:01] L**
Wow!
**[00:03] L**
Thank you so much, Nino!
**[00:06] N**
Jean's away for work again?
**[00:08] L**
He left as soon as he returned from Dōwā.
**[00:11] N**
What's with that box?
**[00:13] L**
Oh...
**[00:14] L**
I send gifts to the owner, along with
our monthly reports.
**[00:18] L**
I'm not sure what he likes, so I
end up sending lots of things.
**[00:21] N**
Didn't you say you've never met him?
**[00:24] L**
Yeah, and I only know his post office box.
**[00:27] N**
Huh...
**[00:29] N**
Thanks for the cake.
**[00:31] L**
Leaving already?
**[00:32] N**
I'll take the package to the
post office for you.
**[00:35] N**
I have to mail something, too.
**[00:39] N**
I'll send you the report.
**[00:42] N**
I'm going to Suitsu District tonight.
**[00:45] N**
Oh,
**[00:46] N**
and Lotta's present will be
included with the report.
**[00:50] N**
Enjoy.
**[00:52] N**
Also...
**[00:53] N**
Apparently, people working for the
prince are sniffing around Lotta.
**[00:58] N**
Jean's about to get sucked in even more.
**[01:02] N**
It's okay.
**[01:04] N**
Just don't call me out of worry
like you did before, please.
**[01:08] N**
Excuse me.
***SIGN*** Suitsu District
**[01:17] Man**
You can use that?
**[01:19] J**
There's no signal, so I can't.
**[01:21] Woman**
Hey...
**[01:22] Woman**
Could I touch that?
**[01:28] Others**
Wow, it's real.
**[01:29] Others**
Hey.
**[01:30] Others**
I'll give you the money...
**[01:31] Others**
Next time you visit, can you bring
me something like that?
**[01:34] J**
In Suitsu District, they're forbidden by law.
**[01:37] Man**
How much do you want?
**[01:39] J**
It isn't about the money.
**[01:41] Man**
Then, what do you want?
**[01:44] J**
Hmm...
**[01:45] J**
Maybe cigarettes.
**[01:47] Others**
It's a cigarette!
**[01:48] Others**
I've never seen one before.
**[01:51] Staff**
If you're eating here, eat at your own table!
**[01:54] Staff**
I told you not to talk to outsiders!
**[01:58] Biscuit**
I'd like to request that you not
frequent places like this.
**[02:01] J**
The food just smelled so good.
**[02:03] J**
I couldn't help it.
**[02:05] Warbler**
Deputy Chief...
**[02:07] Warbler**
You didn't arrive as scheduled,
**[02:10] Warbler**
so I've come to get you.
**[03:46] J**
How long have you been stationed here?
**[03:50] W**
Four years.
**[03:52] J**
A long time.
**[03:53] J**
This is a difficult assignment,
and not many are a good fit.
**[03:57] J**
That tends to extend appointments here.
**[04:00] J**
Isn't living here inconvenient, though?
**[04:02] J**
Unless you're a district citizen,
**[04:03] J**
you can only eat or shop
in designated areas,
**[04:07] J**
so you don't bring in outside influences.
**[04:11] J**
If you call it preserving tradition,
it may sound like a good thing.
**[04:15] J**
But I wonder what the residents think.
**[04:18] J**
I can't really tell. It's an interesting district.
**[04:22] J**
You were stationed in Dōwā
District before, right?
**[04:24] J**
How does this one compare?
**[04:26] W**
It's isolated.
**[04:28] W**
One can freely come and go from Dōwā.
**[04:31] J**
Yeah, gaining entry here is a
pretty complicated process.
**[04:34] J**
Have you been back to Bādon at all?
**[04:36] W**
No.
**[04:37] J**
Next term, you will likely be reassigned.
**[04:40] W**
All right.
**[04:42] J**
All locations in Dōwā are important,
**[04:44] J**
with complex relations to maintain
with local populaces.
**[04:48] J**
I think I can trust you to carry
on my responsibilities,
**[04:51] J**
but my transfer request never goes through.
**[04:54] W**
I couldn't possibly do your job.
**[04:57] W**
I'm not as skilled at staying on good terms
**[05:00] W**
with the brass.
**[05:06] W**
You can use the terminal there
to communicate with HQ.
**[05:10] W**
For personal communication,
you can use the phone.
**[05:12] J**
Only being able to communicate with people
in select places is inconvenient.
**[05:17] W**
Here's the schedule for your audit.
**[05:20] J**
I've always said that I decide the schedule.
**[05:23] W**
Tomorrow morning, I'll pick
you up at eight o'clock.
**[05:30] W**
Please refrain from smoking.
**[05:35] Branch Chief**
I received reports that HQ's
**[05:37] Branch Chief**
Inspection Department made
contact with the locals.
**[05:39] Branch Chief**
Be more careful.
**[05:41] W**
My apologies.
***SIGN*** 5 Chief Officers' Meeting Room
**[05:49] Spade**
What did you just say?
**[05:50] Lilium**
Jean Otus has no connection to
any coup d'état sympathizers.
**[05:54] Lilium**
That is my conclusion.
**[05:57] Lilium**
It is a personal one,
**[05:59] Lilium**
and I do not ask you all to accept it.
**[06:02] Lilium**
But I am his ally.
**[06:05] Spade**
Where is Otus now?
**[06:07] Pine**
In Suitsu District.
**[06:09] Pastis**
My beloved homeland.
**[06:11] Pastis**
It is its own country...
**[06:14] Pastis**
An independent nation,
located within a country.
**[06:26] W**
The south station is next.
**[06:29] J**
Let's walk there.
**[06:34] W**
The north sector
**[06:35] W**
is among Suitsu District's most isolated.
**[06:39] W**
Please refrain from taking
any personal actions.
**[06:42] J**
Isolated, huh?
**[06:45] J**
It's just a sector without any
nobles living here.
**[06:48] J**
It isn't particularly dangerous.
**[06:56] J**
What's that?
**[06:57] W**
Who knows? They probably committed theft.
**[06:59] J**
It's already two o'clock. Let's eat.
**[07:02] W**
We can't go to any restaurants here.
**[07:04] W**
I'll buy something.
**[07:06] J**
Then—
**[07:06] W**
As long as it's bread, you don't care, right?
**[07:10] W**
Please return to the carriage.
**[07:24] Man**
Hey, I'm glad you're safe.
**[07:26] J**
Oh, the man from earlier.
**[07:31] Men**
An ACCA Headquarters uniform!
**[07:32] Men**
Damn.
**[07:34] Men**
What should we do? He heard us.
**[07:39] Men**
Don't move!
**[07:41] Men**
Now that you've overheard us,
we can't let you leave!
**[07:44] J**
Overheard what?
**[07:45] Man**
Don't play dumb!
**[07:46] Man**
We were talking about the coup!
**[07:53] Carriage**
I saw him
**[07:54] Carriage**
taking photos there, but...
**[07:59] W**
*If you'd actually vanished into thin air,*
**[08:02] W**
* it wouldn't trouble me in*
* the least, Jean Otus!*
**[08:08] Men**
You're crazy, bringing someone
like him here!
**[08:10] Men**
This is an important meeting place!
**[08:12] Men**
He learned about our plans for the coup.
**[08:15] Men**
We had no choice but to bring him!
**[08:16] Men**
You should have discussed it with us.
**[08:18] Woman**
It isn't my fault if Biscuit gets angry at you.
**[08:21] J**
Biscuit?
**[08:23] B**
You guys captured someone
from headquarters?
**[08:26] Men**
Biscuit!
**[08:29] J**
It's you.
**[08:31] B**
You guys brought trouble.
**[08:34] Men**
Biscuit, look!
**[08:35] Men**
There are lots of photos on his device!
**[08:39] J**
I was asked to take them.
**[08:40] Men**
These photos are around the meeting place.
**[08:42] Men**
Are people investigating us?
**[08:46] B**
Everyone, quiet!
**[08:49] B**
Now that he knows, we can't let him leave.
**[08:54] L**
I asked Jean to send me photos of Suitsu,
**[08:58] L**
but I guess he's busy.
**[09:02] L**
Thanks for the food!
**[09:07] Maggy**
You lost her?
**[09:09] Sub**
I'm sorry, sir!
**[09:10] Sub**
The restaurant's mochi
dessert was so tasty that...
**[09:14] Maggy**
Idiot! You can get desserts
like that in Dōwā!
**[09:20] Knot**
The deputy chief?
**[09:22] Knot**
We've received no particular word.
**[09:24] Knot**
Has something happened?
**[09:26] W**
No, I'll contact you later.
**[09:29] W**
Damn it!
**[09:31] W**
Where'd he go?
**[09:36] B**
You're very calm.
**[09:39] J**
You guys haven't given me
**[09:41] J**
any reason to be nervous.
**[09:43] B**
You think we're meeting
like this as a hobby?
**[09:48] B**
We do want to change Suitsu.
That isn't a lie.
**[09:52] B**
This nation is wrong.
**[09:54] J**
By "nation," you mean Suitsu District?
**[09:57] B**
This is its own nation!
**[09:58] B**
Although it's within the larger
nation known as Dōwā,
**[10:01] B**
how can one area be so isolated?
**[10:03] B**
We may have been granted autonomy,
**[10:06] B**
but nothing has changed in nearly a century.
**[10:09] B**
We want to make Suitsu into a real
district, under Dōwā Kingdom!
**[10:13] J**
*As suspected, their goal is different than*
**[10:15] J**
* the coup d'état the chief officers*
* and director-general spoke of...*
**[10:20] J**
By "coup d'état," you mean you plan
to occupy the district office?
**[10:24] B**
That's right.
**[10:25] J**
And what will you demand after doing so?
**[10:28] B**
We have two demands.
**[10:30] B**
First, to remove restrictions on
the transportation network.
**[10:33] B**
Once we can go freely between
here and other districts,
**[10:35] B**
this district will change.
**[10:37] J**
Many people want that.
**[10:41] J**
If that demand is granted,
**[10:42] J**
I can introduce you to people who'd
want to help with your reforms.
**[10:46] B**
You're just saying that so we'll let you go!
**[10:49] J**
It isn't a lie.
**[10:51] J**
In my briefcase, back at the hotel,
I have something I received.
**[10:54] J**
It's in room 301, the hotel across
from the ACCA Suitsu Branch.
**[11:01] B**
Our other demand
**[11:03] B**
is to have Suitsu's representative
congressman, Beurre, resign.
**[11:08] B**
I guess ACCA's so removed from
politics, you don't know why.
**[11:11] B**
When Dōwā granted autonomy
**[11:13] B**
to the districts, the central congressional
system was established.
**[11:17] B**
District representatives were
to gather as an institution.
**[11:19] B**
The idea was to leverage each
district's unique advantages
**[11:23] B**
for developing the nation as a whole.
**[11:26] B**
In the hundred years since, while other
districts maintained a balance
**[11:29] B**
with each other and continued to develop,
**[11:32] B**
Suitsu was different.
**[11:35] B**
Thanks to nobles who wished to
preserve "tradition and formality."
**[11:39] B**
Then Beurre rose to prominence,
promising to change Suitsu's bad habits.
**[11:44] B**
Though a commoner like us,
**[11:47] B**
he obtained a title and even
became our representative.
**[11:50] B**
He was our hope.
**[11:52] B**
And yet...
**[11:53] B**
He's never once returned to Suitsu from
his congressional seat in Bādon.
**[11:58] B**
"Change Suitsu"?
**[12:00] B**
How would he know how things
are, if he never comes back?
**[12:03] B**
In the end, Beurre was only
after fame and glory.
**[12:07] J**
It seems like Chief Officer Pastis
often comes back here.
**[12:11] B**
He isn't a politician.
**[12:13] B**
He doesn't even consider changing Suitsu.
**[12:17] B**
He merely likes Suitsu as the nation
built on tradition and formality.
**[12:22] B**
After all, he's of noble blood.
**[12:26] B**
For now, forget about Pastis.
**[12:28] B**
But Beurre must be brought down!
**[12:31] B**
We need a new district representative!
**[12:36] Boule**
Hello, Chief Officer Pastis.
**[12:39] Pastis**
Oh...
**[12:41] Pastis**
I didn't know you also frequented
this place, Congressman Beurre.
**[12:44] Boule**
Of course I do.
**[12:45] Boule**
For anyone with a name worth
knowing in Bādon, it's a must.
**[12:49] Pastis**
Have you returned recently to Suitsu?
**[12:51] Boule**
I just returned from there the other day.
**[12:53] Boule**
I used my personal jet.
**[12:55] Pastis**
I see.
**[12:56] Pastis**
How was it?
**[12:58] Boule**
The same... It's a beautiful place!
**[13:02] Pastis**
I couldn't agree more.
**[13:04] Boule**
Well, I hope to see you soon.
**[13:10] Pastis**
District Chief Lilium...
**[13:12] Pastis**
I didn't know you were in Bādon.
**[13:14] LBro**
I had business with the central congress.
**[13:17] Pastis**
Then you should have invited
your younger brother along.
**[13:20] LBro**
He wouldn't come to a place like this.
**[13:23] Pastis**
True.
**[13:25] Pastis**
Beurre asked you for a favor, didn't he?
**[13:28] Pastis**
To become a member here?
**[13:29] LBro**
He did.
**[13:31] Pastis**
A most entertaining man.
**[13:32] Pastis**
He seems quite proud to get a referral
from Furawau District's
**[13:35] Pastis**
prestigious Lilium family.
**[13:39] Pastis**
But in Suitsu, he'll be a very different man.
**[13:42] LBro**
You are a count.
**[13:44] LBro**
He's a commoner who bought
a title to become a baron.
**[13:47] Pastis**
He has never gone back to Suitsu.
**[13:50] Pastis**
I have full access to Transportation
Department records.
**[13:54] Pastis**
But he is better off not returning.
**[13:57] Pastis**
If he does, he'll be burned at the stake.
**[14:00] Pastis**
He said he would change the district,
**[14:02] Pastis**
but he only changed himself.
**[14:08] B**
Untie him.
**[14:11] B**
Biscuit!
**[14:12] B**
We're back!
**[14:17] J**
The majority of businessmen
in my apartment complex
**[14:19] J**
wish to do business with Suitsu.
**[14:22] J**
There are many who would
help Suitsu open its doors.
**[14:26] J**
All are influential men who can fund
things being done in the district.
**[14:31] B**
Why would you do things like this?
**[14:33] J**
I get cigarettes as payment...
**[14:36] B**
You mean this?
**[14:38] B**
They found this in your hotel
room's doorframe.
**[14:43] Men**
Biscuit!
**[14:48] B**
What's wrong?
**[14:50] W**
Sorry, I was looking for someone—
**[14:54] J**
Warbler?
**[14:56] W**
What's going on here?!
**[14:57] B**
He learned our plans, so we
had to secure him.
**[15:00] W**
You...
**[15:01] Men**
We have an emergency!
**[15:02] Men**
ACCA discovered our meeting
place in the west sector!
**[15:05] Men**
Those who escaped say
**[15:06] Men**
it's just a matter of time before
the others are found out!
**[15:10] Men**
They're taking action tonight!
**[15:12] B**
Crap! No one gave them the go-ahead!
**[15:16] Cop**
Don't let them enter the district office!
**[15:18] Cop**
If you encounter resistance,
weapon-use is authorized!
**[15:23] Men**
What should we do, Biscuit?
**[15:24] Men**
We have no choice now!
**[15:26] Men**
Yeah! We have to do this!
**[15:28] B**
We have no choice.
**[15:30] B**
We must go, too.
**[15:31] B**
Men, follow in your brothers' footsteps!
**[15:36] J**
This coup d'état in Suitsu District...
**[15:39] W**
It's only one of many which have occurred
between the district and commoners.
**[15:44] J**
You're the one telling them about
**[15:47] J**
Congressman Beurre's actions
in Bādon, aren't you?
**[15:52] W**
I'm worried about the
Inspection Department.
**[15:54] W**
Let's take back roads.
**[16:13] W**
People are coming into the back roads, too.
**[16:16] W**
Please be careful.
**[16:20] W**
Deputy Chief!
**[16:21] W**
Where are you?
**[16:24] Mob**
Hey, look...
**[16:25] Mob**
This one's with ACCA.
**[16:26] Mob**
He's trying to hide among us!
**[16:28] Mob**
Wha—
**[16:30] Nino**
We don't have time to bother with ACCA.
**[16:33] Nino**
Our enemy is the district office!
**[16:35] Nino**
That's right.
**[16:36] Nino**
Let's go!
**[16:40] W**
Deputy Chief!
**[16:42] W**
Are you all right?
**[16:44] J**
I'm fine.
**[16:45] W**
Let's wait until things calm down.
**[16:48] J**
Yeah.
**[17:04] W**
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
**[17:06] W**
The Inspection Department is fine.
**[17:09] W**
The area is cordoned off, so we
can't get back in for a while.
**[17:13] J**
I don't care for now.
**[17:16] J**
You saw how they were doing, right?
**[17:19] J**
Well?
**[17:21] W**
Some got away, but the leaders
were all captured.
**[17:27] W**
Biscuit included.
**[17:28] J**
He's with ACCA.
**[17:30] W**
Yes.
**[17:32] J**
Warbler, you'll be charged
with being an accomplice.
**[17:37] W**
After being stationed in Suitsu,
I've opened my eyes.
**[17:40] W**
In this kingdom, there are shadows
I didn't know about.
**[17:45] W**
It's just a fiction that we're at peace.
**[17:49] W**
You often say, "This kingdom is at peace."
**[17:53] W**
During audits, you must have seen
how things stood in this district.
**[17:57] W**
What can you call "at peace"?
**[18:01] J**
I never had any chance to see how
the district citizens were feeling.
**[18:05] W**
That's right.
**[18:06] W**
ACCA's presence here is different
from that in other districts.
**[18:12] W**
The majority stationed at ACCA's
Suitsu Branch are commoners,
**[18:14] W**
but the more senior ranks are
dominated by lesser noble families.
**[18:20] W**
They do anything
**[18:21] W**
the more powerful noble families
in the district office tell them.
**[18:25] W**
In the past, there were other coups.
**[18:29] W**
But word never got out that
they even happened.
**[18:34] W**
That's Suitsu District for you.
**[18:36] W**
I met Biscuit and the others here,
**[18:38] W**
and I wanted to help their coup succeed.
**[18:42] W**
They're a ragtag bunch,
**[18:43] W**
but they really love their district.
**[18:46] W**
This is all very unfortunate!
**[18:49] J**
Then, being stationed here
**[18:50] J**
for the long term was working out for you.
**[18:55] W**
I guess I'll be fired.
**[18:58] W**
Will you let me run?
**[19:01] W**
Once I leave this district,
**[19:03] W**
I can never come back.
**[19:08] W**
You made it out!
**[19:10] W**
The other women and children?
**[19:11] GF**
They're all okay.
**[19:13] W**
Thank goodness...
**[19:16] Branch Chief**
Issue a gag rule!
**[19:17] Branch Staff**
What about the inspector from HQ?
**[19:19] Branch Director**
Who could've expected a
coup during an audit?
**[19:21] Branch Director**
Branch Director, what do you want to do?
**[19:24] Branch Director**
Jean Otus...
**[19:26] Branch Director**
We don't want to be on his bad side.
**[19:27] Branch Chief**
Huh?
**[19:30] BD**
I'll talk to him.
**[19:32] BD**
Call him to my office.
**[19:33] BC**
Yes, sir!
**[19:36] BD**
I'd prefer to take
**[19:38] BD**
this opportunity to talk to you
about a different coup d'état.
**[19:44] BD**
But I'd like to ask you not to
mention what's happened here.
**[19:48] J**
A gag rule, then.
**[19:49] BD**
We can't let you leave until you agree.
**[19:54] J**
May I have a smoke?
**[19:55] BC**
You bastard!
**[19:56] BD**
Go ahead.
**[20:03] J**
I have a condition for my not
**[20:05] J**
mentioning the coup elsewhere.
**[20:09] BD**
Let's hear it.
**[20:10] J**
I want you to release everyone arrested
**[20:13] J**
in the coup.
**[20:16] BD**
Very well.
**[20:17] BD**
We'll look the other way this time.
**[20:19] BD**
But the ACCA staff member, their leader,
**[20:22] BD**
will be fired.
**[20:25] J**
He is under your purview.
**[20:29] J**
No ACCA staff, ordered to quell the coup,
**[20:33] J**
used weapons against the people.
**[20:37] J**
None of them
**[20:39] J**
could harm their own flesh and blood.
**[20:44] J**
Word of this will not get out.
**[20:47] J**
Meaning this won't be reported to HQ.
**[20:50] J**
You will retain your position.
**[20:55] W**
Next term,
**[20:56] W**
when I'm reassigned, I'm going
to leave my post here.
**[21:00] W**
Until this district changes,
they will keep rising up.
**[21:04] W**
I wish to see that through.
**[21:08] J**
In my audit,
**[21:09] J**
I must admit you received the
lowest marks, unfortunately.
**[21:14] J**
You didn't fulfill your
supervisory responsibilities.
**[21:17] J**
During my audit, you disregarded
your responsibilities to focus
**[21:21] J**
on events occurring in the district.
**[21:24] J**
You were staring out the window.
**[21:29] J**
Earlier, I said you could be the one
to take over my responsibilities,
**[21:32] J**
but back to square one.
**[21:34] J**
After recent events, this assignment has
become more difficult than ever.
**[21:39] J**
You'll be staying here.
**[21:48] GF**
Warbler, you can stay?
**[21:52] Men**
All right!
**[21:54] Men**
I'm happy for you, Warbler!
**[21:56] ---**
Yeah.
**[22:06] Gro**
Indeed.
**[22:07] Gro**
I have also heard reports that Otus
received a cigarette in Suitsu.
**[22:12] Gro**
Wait...
**[22:13] Gro**
Can we not meet and talk about this?
***SIGN*** Overlapping Footprints in the Distance
**[23:55] Nino**
Good work, Jean...
**[23:58] Nino**
I know what you did.

**[00:01] Sch**
What?
**[00:03] Sch**
Magie went to Bādon?
**[00:04] Mond**
Yes, Your Highness. Just a short time ago.
**[00:07] Sch**
How dare my aide leave Dōwā
without my permission?!
**[00:12] Mond**
He said he could not let someone
else handle something again.
**[00:16] Magie**
Mochi dessert?
**[00:18] Magie**
How could he let food
distract him from his mission?
**[00:21] Mond**
What's wrong, Magie?
**[00:24] Magie**
Commander...
**[00:26] Magie**
Just rather irritated by an
incompetent subordinate.
**[00:29] Mond**
I see.
**[00:30] Mond**
Are you engaged in an important mission?
**[00:35] Magie**
Yes, I would say it is important.
**[00:38] Mond**
Are you sure you can entrust
**[00:39] Mond**
such a task to an incompetent subordinate?
**[00:43] Mond**
I am certain he had his reasons.
**[00:50] Sch**
Find out who she is.
**[00:54] L**
Yay!
**[00:57] L**
So yummy.
**[00:59] L**
This place has the best pancakes.
**[01:06] L**
That was great!
**[01:07] Staff**
Come back anytime.
**[01:08] L**
I will!
**[01:17] Rail**
That uniform...
**[01:20] Rail**
You must be with the guy who's
been stalking Lotta lately.
**[01:25] Rail**
Let's hear your intentions.
**[01:28] Magie**
I don't care about that right now.
**[01:31] Staff**
Seconds... Sorry for the delay!
**[01:34] Magie**
This is what I care about right now,
**[01:36] Magie**
this "toast" object!
**[01:38] Magie**
Crispy on the outside,
yet fluffy and chewy inside!
**[01:44] Magie**
How delicious...
**[01:45] Magie**
I must remember this toast type of bread.
**[01:48] Rail**
That's sandwich bread.
**[01:50] Magie**
Sandwich bread?
**[01:51] Rail**
When you grill it, it's called toast.
**[01:53] Magie**
It's the first time I've seen one.
**[01:55] Magie**
So toast is grilled sandwich bread...
**[01:58] Magie**
Dōwā only has tough bread.
Nothing like this.
**[02:01] Magie**
I must make a mental note.
**[02:02] Rail**
Uh...
**[02:04] Rail**
I've heard of a west-sector bakery that
specializes in sandwich bread.
**[02:07] Rail**
Want to go?
**[02:08] Magie**
You'd take me there?
**[02:10] Rail**
Sure, I've been wanting to check it out, too.
**[03:52] Owl**
How was Suitsu, Jean?
**[03:55] J**
The usual.
**[03:57] J**
But about their supervisor, Warbler...
**[04:00] J**
I know I mentioned that he
could take on my role,
**[04:03] J**
but I don't think he's ready yet.
**[04:04] Owl**
Did something happen?
**[04:06] J**
Just a feeling after observing him.
**[04:08] Owl**
All right.
**[04:10] Owl**
Well, even if stepping down
will be possible for you,
**[04:12] Owl**
I doubt it'll be for a good while yet.
**[04:14] J**
Once I'm done with the district audits,
**[04:18] J**
do you think the brass will finally
approve my transfer request?
**[04:22] Owl**
I'm not sure.
**[04:24] Owl**
But, Jean, wouldn't that also
put you in a tight spot?
**[04:29] J**
Not really...
**[04:31] M**
You visit every single district.
**[04:33] M**
I'd like you to report any information
you find during your rounds.
**[04:37] M**
In secrecy.
**[04:40] J**
*I can't tell her about the Suitsu fiasco,*
**[04:43] J**
*but I need to make my report.*
**[04:50] Lilium**
You look pale.
**[04:53] Lilium**
Did Crow say something in his report?
**[04:57] Gro**
There is nothing to report.
**[05:01] Pine**
Crow even infiltrated Suitsu?
**[05:05] Lilium**
Most likely.
**[05:11] J**
Guess I'll take the bus instead of the subway.
**[05:17] Lilium**
Get in.
**[05:23] Lilium**
How was Suitsu?
**[05:26] Lilium**
I heard you had to stay longer than planned.
**[05:28] Lilium**
Did something unusual happen?
**[05:31] J**
Nothing in particular.
**[05:34] Lilium**
Since Grossular doesn't share information
**[05:37] Lilium**
your observer gives him,
**[05:40] Lilium**
I decided to ask you myself.
**[05:43] J**
Observer?
**[05:45] Lilium**
Grossular assigned one to you a month ago.
**[05:50] J**
I didn't know I had one.
**[05:57] J**
Regarding the coup d'état,
**[05:59] J**
you mentioned that Chief Officer
Grossular is involved.
**[06:03] J**
Is that really true?
**[06:06] J**
I mean...
**[06:07] Lilium**
Go on.
**[06:10] J**
I don't see the connection between the
coup and Chief Officer Grossular.
**[06:14] Lilium**
Hmm.
**[06:15] Lilium**
Is that your intuition, based on
your own read of him,
**[06:18] Lilium**
and not someone else's opinion?
**[06:22] Lilium**
You made me want to ask you that
**[06:25] Lilium**
because to us, Grossular is an
impenetrable, unreadable man.
**[06:30] Lilium**
I'll give you the benefit of a doubt
and try to scrutinize him again.
**[06:37] J**
About this observer you mentioned...
**[06:40] J**
Is it an ACCA member?
**[06:44] Lilium**
Someone with Internal Affairs.
**[06:47] Lilium**
Have you sensed anyone watching you?
**[06:50] J**
Not at all in the past month.
**[06:52] Lilium**
Of course you wouldn't have.
**[06:55] Lilium**
You're probably used to being watched
**[06:58] Lilium**
by that person.
**[07:18] J**
*Being watched...*
**[07:25] Mauve**
He isn't coming...
**[07:27] Staff**
Potatoes!
**[07:29] Keli**
Let's make microwave potato chips!
**[07:31] Staff**
Wow, that'd be great!
**[07:33] Knot**
Eider, you came all the way here
from Fāmasu District?
**[07:36] Ei**
Yes, I had paperwork to finish regarding
my staff's former wrongdoing.
**[07:41] Ei**
I thought I'd pay my regards
to the deputy chief, but...
**[07:44] Knot**
Ah.
**[07:45] Knot**
Jean left this morning for
an audit in Birra District.
**[07:48] Ei**
I see.
**[07:50] Moz**
Oh, what?
**[07:51] Moz**
Does Eider have feelings
for the deputy chief?
**[07:53] Ei**
N-No...
**[07:55] L**
Yeah, Jean's so busy...
**[07:58] L**
He already left for his next audit.
**[08:00] L**
Nino, want to grab dinner tonight?
**[08:03] Nino**
Sorry, I don't think I can tonight.
**[08:06] L**
Nino, you're working too hard, as well!
**[08:09] L**
Where are you right now?
**[08:10] Nino**
That's a secret.
***SIGN*** Birra District
**[08:16] Nino**
He's staying in Birra's best hotel.
**[08:19] Nino**
He's staying for five days,
**[08:21] Nino**
longer than in the other districts
due to the long travel time.
**[08:28] Nino**
Hmm?
**[08:29] Nino**
He's taking a while to enter.
**[08:32] Nino**
Is he thinking of having a smoke out here?
**[08:39] Danlin**
Deputy Chief, you'll catch a cold.
**[08:42] Danlin**
Please come inside.
**[08:43] J**
Right.
**[08:51] Nino**
Jean... noticed?
**[09:06] Owl**
Since he knows, we have no choice.
**[09:09] Owl**
You can tell him what he needs to know,
**[09:13] Owl**
while getting a sense for where he stands.
**[09:16] Owl**
Of course, you can also leave
without talking to him.
**[09:20] Owl**
This doesn't mean your duties
are over, however.
**[09:23] Owl**
You'll just change roles to only
be his friend, and continue.
**[09:34] D**
Good morning. I'm glad the sun's out!
**[09:37] D**
I'm sorry we couldn't provide you with
**[09:40] D**
any more than boots yesterday.
**[09:42] J**
My arrival was sudden.
***SIGN*** ACCA Inspection Department Birra Branch Supervisor Danlin
**[09:44] D**
I've borrowed a whole set of
warm gear from Birra Branch.
**[09:50] J**
They're warm.
**[09:52] D**
The branch chief is preparing some
Birra cuisine for tonight's dinner.
**[09:57] D**
Well, let's go.
**[10:00] J**
Okay.
**[10:01] Bakery**
You must really like sandwich bread,
**[10:05] Bakery**
coming here daily, while you visit.
**[10:07] Magie**
I'd like the azuki bean, too.
**[10:09] L**
Hello!
**[10:10] Bakery**
Hi, Lotta.
**[10:12] Bakery**
What would you like today?
**[10:13] L**
Three two-centimeter slices!
Walnut, cheese, and chocolate!
**[10:17] L**
And...
**[10:19] L**
Oh, hello.
**[10:22] L**
Have we met?
**[10:23] Magie**
Do you like sandwich bread?
**[10:24] L**
Of course! Do you?
**[10:26] Magie**
Same here, of course.
**[10:28] L**
They have really good sandwich bread.
**[10:31] D**
Birra Branch is my fourth assignment.
**[10:35] D**
Compared to others I've been at, Birra has
a pretty balanced operation.
**[10:39] D**
There's a good amount of trade,
**[10:41] D**
so quality of life is much
better than in Suitsu.
**[10:44] D**
Birra isn't as prosperous as Fāmasu,
**[10:47] D**
but it's self-sufficient,
**[10:50] D**
and things are stable.
**[10:53] D**
The district administration
is a well-oiled machine.
**[10:56] J**
Things really are different,
depending on the district.
**[10:59] D**
I agree.
**[11:00] D**
Though, everyone really cares about
**[11:03] D**
their own districts.
**[11:07] Gurusu**
Eider, you're here.
**[11:10] Ei**
Yes, but I'm about to leave.
**[11:13] Gurusu**
I heard about what happened in Fāmasu.
**[11:16] Gurusu**
It must've been difficult.
**[11:19] Gurusu**
I know how you feel.
**[11:22] Gurusu**
The supervisor is responsible for
any subordinate impropriety.
**[11:25] Gurusu**
But you shouldn't bear it alone.
**[11:28] Ei**
That isn't it.
**[11:29] Guru**
Oh?
**[11:30] Ei**
I've come all the way out here,
**[11:32] Ei**
but the deputy chief is on a business trip.
**[11:34] Ei**
I have such bad luck!
**[11:37] Ei**
Why isn't the deputy chief here?!
**[11:39] Gurusu**
Wh-Why not have lunch before you leave?
**[11:42] Gurusu**
It's on me.
**[11:44] Perry**
I heard you liked wheat bread, so I made
**[11:47] Perry**
special arrangements for some today.
**[11:50] Perry**
Wheat doesn't grow in this district.
**[11:52] Perry**
That applies to the beer you're drinking now.
**[11:55] Perry**
We grow some barley,
**[11:57] Perry**
but it's mostly for export.
***SIGN*** Birra District, Branch Chief
Perry
**[12:00] Perry**
We like drinks that our
own district produces.
**[12:03] Perry**
We have potatoes and rye bread.
**[12:06] Perry**
Our wood fires keep us warm.
**[12:09] Perry**
That's enough.
**[12:11] Perry**
We can support our residents' lives.
**[12:14] Perry**
But we aren't oblivious to the
widening gap between districts.
**[12:19] Perry**
Should one district grow in power
**[12:22] Perry**
and dominate the nation,
**[12:24] Perry**
each district would no longer be assured of
retaining an equal degree of autonomy.
**[12:29] Perry**
To be prepared for such an eventuality,
**[12:32] Perry**
we are sure to accept our allotted
budget and use the oil provided.
**[12:37] Perry**
We wouldn't want other
districts to leave us behind.
**[12:41] Perry**
Sorry to bore you with serious talk.
**[12:43] Perry**
If you'd like, you're welcome to smoke.
**[12:46] J**
Then, I'll do so over there.
**[12:57] Bar**
This is for you, from a customer.
**[13:11] J**
Is this a cigarette from Birra?
**[13:14] Perry**
This district has no cigarette-makers.
**[13:17] Perry**
You're the only one who
wants cigarettes here.
**[13:31] Schwan**
What is this, Magie?
**[13:34] Magie**
It's called "sandwich bread." Please try it.
**[13:44] Schwan**
And?
**[13:44] Magie**
Please spread some butter on it.
**[13:47] Schwan**
I like tough, dense bread.
**[13:50] Magie**
This is walnut sandwich bread.
**[13:51] Magie**
I brought this back from Bādon.
**[13:54] Schwan**
Are you listening to me?
**[13:56] Schwan**
Magie, I haven't forgiven you for leaving
the castle without my permission—
**[14:01] Magie**
The bread's done.
**[14:05] Magie**
This is called "toast."
**[14:06] Schwan**
What is your goal, Magie?
**[14:09] Magie**
Miss Lotta would highly recommend this,
**[14:11] Magie**
the same Miss Lotta you find attractive!
**[14:14] Schwan**
That's right!
**[14:15] Schwan**
Did you learn anything about her?
**[14:17] Magie**
She lives in a ritzy apartment building
in the center of Bādon,
**[14:20] Magie**
and she likes sandwich bread.
**[14:23] Schwan**
And?
**[14:24] Magie**
That is all.
**[14:25] Magie**
To win her heart, you will need to
**[14:27] Magie**
set up a bakery for sandwich
bread in Dōwā.
**[14:31] Schwan**
That isn't what I was interested in!
**[14:35] Schwan**
Wait, you said a ritzy apartment?
**[14:38] Schwan**
What do her parents do?
**[14:40] Magie**
One moment.
**[14:44] Magie**
This is Magie.
**[14:46] Magie**
What can you tell me about
Miss Lotta's parents?
**[14:50] Magie**
Please...
**[14:51] Magie**
Aren't we fellow aficionados
of sandwich bread?
**[14:53] Magie**
Sharing is caring.
**[14:55] Schwan**
Magie, who are you talking to?
**[14:57] Magie**
I'll send you the Dōwān cake
that Miss Lotta likes.
**[15:01] Magie**
It will make her happy.
**[15:05] Magie**
Hmm, I see.
**[15:08] Magie**
Her parents are deceased.
**[15:12] Schwan**
I see.
**[15:17] D**
That concludes the entire schedule.
**[15:19] D**
Well done.
**[15:21] J**
I'll treat you to dinner tonight.
**[15:23] D**
Are you sure?
**[15:24] D**
I figured you must have
plans to meet a friend.
**[15:28] D**
It seemed like you've
been waiting for a call.
**[15:32] J**
It's fine.
**[15:35] D**
Thank you for dinner.
**[15:37] D**
Goodnight.
**[16:05] J**
I thought you'd invite me to
grab a bite, at least once,
**[16:10] J**
like usual.
**[16:17] J**
When someone helped me out
**[16:20] J**
during the Suitsu riot, I thought
he looked familiar.
**[16:29] Nino**
We don't have time to bother with ACCA.
**[16:32] J**
I'd heard the same voice before, too.
**[16:35] J**
And looking back,
**[16:36] J**
I think there were many
other similar instances,
**[16:40] J**
not just in this past month.
**[16:43] J**
Do you work for ACCA?
**[16:48] Nino**
That's right.
**[16:49] J**
I see.
**[16:51] J**
I don't really understand
my current predicament.
**[16:56] J**
Do you?
**[16:58] Nino**
You're just someone who always
gets caught up in things.
**[17:02] J**
Here's what I think, Nino.
**[17:05] J**
You aren't the kind of guy who'd try
**[17:08] J**
to get me into deeper trouble.
**[17:16] J**
So just tell me
**[17:18] J**
about this someday, when you can.
**[17:23] Nino**
This involves you, but you
don't really give a damn.
**[17:27] Nino**
That's just like you, Jean.
**[17:30] Nino**
I'm not watching you because
I work for ACCA.
**[17:35] Nino**
For now, that's all I can say.
**[17:37] J**
Okay.
**[17:39] J**
I'm going back tomorrow.
**[17:41] J**
Once I return, I have to make
sure Lotta gets a good meal.
**[17:45] J**
You should come.
**[17:49] J**
It really is snowing a lot.
**[17:51] Nino**
Jean...
**[17:54] J**
Birran liquor?
**[17:55] J**
I'm not a strong drinker.
**[18:02] J**
Wait a minute.
**[18:03] J**
When we drink together,
**[18:06] J**
you're always egging me on.
**[18:09] J**
Do I tell you things when I'm drunk?
**[18:12] Nino**
Like what?
**[18:15] Nino**
If it's about Director-General
Mauve, I've heard lots.
**[18:19] Nino**
"The director-general really respects
Chief Officer Grossular.
**[18:24] Nino**
I like him, just as the
director-general does, too."
**[18:33] J**
I said stuff like that?
**[18:40] L**
Nino, you know a lot of good places.
**[18:43] L**
This is great!
**[18:45] L**
It tastes even better when we eat together!
**[18:48] Nino**
Oh, Jean...
**[18:49] Nino**
Don't you have to go to the
west-sector bakery for bread?
**[18:54] Nino**
After being in districts with hard
bread, ours must be great.
**[18:58] J**
All the bread tastes good to me.
**[19:01] J**
I have to go on an audit
again, starting Friday.
**[19:04] Nino**
Too bad, since the rest of the
world will be on vacation.
**[19:09] J**
Nino, while I'm gone,
**[19:12] J**
take Lotta out for dinner every night.
**[19:17] Nino**
Got it.
**[19:18] L**
Really?
**[19:20] L**
Yay!
**[19:21] L**
Hey, where are you going next?
***SIGN*** Rokkusu District

Rokkusu District.
**[19:28] Sandpiper**
I guess we don't get any vacation.
**[19:31] J**
Nope.
**[19:32] J**
I'll try to minimize smoke breaks,
so we can wrap up early.
**[19:36] Sandpiper**
Oh, really?
***SIGN*** ACCA Inspection Department Rokkusu Branch Supervisor Sandpiper
**[19:39] Sandpiper**
If we aren't stopping for smoke breaks,
we'd go faster on the highway, too!
**[19:44] J**
Did you really get top marks in the
department entrance exam?
**[19:48] Sandpiper**
But that's how things are in
the Inspection Department.
**[19:51] Sandpiper**
Not everyone looks competent.
**[19:53] Sandpiper**
The same goes for you, Deputy Chief.
**[19:56] J**
Let's go.
**[19:58] Sandpiper**
Aye aye, sir.
**[20:07] Sandpiper**
Did you do a double take?
**[20:09] Sandpiper**
Everyone looks like Chief Officer
Grossular, don't they?
**[20:12] Sandpiper**
Most men here have long hair.
**[20:15] Sandpiper**
The custom got to me, so I'm
growing mine out.
**[20:20] Sandpiper**
That was the real Chief Officer Grossular.
**[20:22] Sandpiper**
He came back yesterday.
**[20:24] Sandpiper**
He looks like anyone else,
**[20:27] Sandpiper**
but you can tell him right
away by his presence.
**[20:29] J**
Huh...
**[20:31] J**
It's the first time I've run into him here.
**[20:38] Pastis**
Chief Officer Lilium...
**[20:40] Lilium**
Chief Officer Pastis.
**[20:42] Lilium**
I thought you flew home yesterday.
**[20:45] Pastis**
That was the plan,
**[20:47] Pastis**
but I wanted to delay my return by a day.
**[20:49] Pastis**
Well, in terms of protecting one's district,
**[20:53] Pastis**
not being overly suspicious is important.
**[20:56] Lilium**
You said "district," not "nation."
**[21:00] Pastis**
I merely thought you might
not like the nation talk.
**[21:02] Lilium**
Did my brother give you ideas?
**[21:07] Pastis**
I have pride in my position as
an ACCA Chief Officer, too.
**[21:10] Pastis**
Though not as much as you.
**[21:13] Lilium**
Mine pales in comparison to
Chief Officer Grossular.
**[21:16] Lilium**
He's proud of ACCA as an institution,
**[21:20] Lilium**
and cares for it more than anything.
**[21:22] Pastis**
ACCA has many people like that.
**[21:25] Pastis**
Director-General Mauve in HQ is the same.
**[21:28] Pastis**
Well, it's a good thing to have pride.
**[21:31] Lilium**
Yes, as long as it isn't excessive.
**[21:35] Lotta**
Hey, what are you up to, Jean?
**[21:39] Lotta**
Oh, I'm not calling about
anything in particular.
**[21:43] Lotta**
Huh?
**[21:44] Lotta**
You're going somewhere by train?
**[21:47] Lotta**
Oh.
**[21:48] Lotta**
Take care, then.
**[21:50] Lotta**
Don't forget presents!
**[21:53] Lotta**
Okay, let's eat!
**[21:56] Nino**
Don't worry.
**[21:58] Nino**
After ACCA began managing
the national railway,
**[22:01] Nino**
the number of accidents plummeted.
**[22:03] Nino**
Especially in Rokkusu District.

You wouldn't have come here

You're right.
**[02:14] Gro**
Did you finish your audits?
**[02:16] J**
I only have the south sector left.
**[02:19] J**
I'll return to Bādon tomorrow.

What are you thinking?
**[02:24] Gro**
Your wandering gaze said you
were thinking something.
**[02:27] Gro**
Rokkusu residents have good eyes.
**[02:32] J**
I was just remembering.
**[02:34] J**
I read an article in Kororē District.
**[02:38] J**
An interview with Director-General Mauve
when she was Kororē branch director,
**[02:43] J**
after she'd been appointed director-general.
**[02:45] J**
Kororē branch had a "Mauve
Avenue" in their offices.
**[02:49] J**
They must have been proud of the first female
director-general being from their ranks.
**[02:53] J**
The article was displayed there.
**[02:56] J**
In it, the director-general spoke of you.
**[02:59] J**
That's what I was remembering.
**[03:02] J**
That's all.
**[03:03] Gro**
That's all?
**[03:05] J**
That's a lie.
**[03:07] J**
I never noticed I had an observer
you'd assigned to me.
**[03:13] J**
But he isn't a straightforward guy.
**[03:16] J**
He may have lied in his reports.
**[03:20] Gro**
What are you trying to say?
**[03:25] J**
My parents died in the train accident
**[03:28] J**
that happened thirteen years ago
**[03:31] J**
on the border between
here and Peshi District.
**[03:35] J**
The responses to the accident by
the districts weren't even close.
**[03:39] J**
Peshi District refused any responsibility.
**[03:42] J**
And to avoid strife, Rokkusu took
full responsibility.
**[03:47] J**
The one who counseled the Rokkusu chief to,
and to bring the national rail under ACCA,
**[03:52] J**
then made it happen
**[03:54] J**
was you, the Rokkusu branch chief.
**[03:56] J**
It's widely known that since then,
the number of rail accidents
**[03:59] J**
has rapidly declined.
**[04:02] J**
You said, "ACCA exists to build
a better nation."
**[04:06] J**
In the article, Director-General Mauve
**[04:09] J**
spoke of her respect for you.
**[04:12] J**
I agree with her sentiment.
**[04:15] J**
I say this, without understanding my situation.
**[04:19] J**
I don't understand what this coup
d'état business is all about,
**[04:22] J**
but I've heard I'm involved, somehow.
**[04:26] J**
I've also heard speculation that
you may be a coup sympathizer.
**[04:31] J**
But just as I am not involved,
**[04:34] J**
I don't think you are involved in any of it.
**[04:38] J**
That's all.
**[04:40] J**
I'm sorry to interrupt your time off.
**[04:48] Gro**
How naïve.
**[04:51] Owl**
Knot...
**[04:52] Owl**
If I remember correctly,
**[04:53] Owl**
isn't Jean supposed to be back today?
**[04:56] Knot**
Yes.
**[04:57] Knot**
He was back earlier, but left right away,
**[05:00] Knot**
after dropping off presents
from his Rokkusu audit.
**[05:07] J**
You haven't gone back home, then.
**[05:10] Mauve**
I was waiting for you to return.
**[05:13] Mauve**
And about what we discussed?
**[05:15] Mauve**
Is there anything you want to tell me?
**[05:18] J**
Nothing of note.
**[05:21] Mauve**
I see.
**[05:23] Mauve**
You are less useful than expected.

Wake up already!
**[07:02] Nino**
I hurt all over.
**[07:04] L**
Serves you right, falling asleep like that.
**[07:07] Nino**
Jean drank too much and couldn't get up.
**[07:10] L**
Did something happen to him?
**[07:12] Nino**
He got scolded by a superior officer.

Someone higher up.
**[07:19] L**
I'll bring water.
**[07:20] L**
You really shouldn't drink so much.
**[07:23] Nino**
I didn't make you drink this time.
**[07:27] Nino**
You have to work on your reporting skills.
**[07:32] Moz**
Deputy Chief,
**[07:33] Moz**
we have snacks today.
**[07:36] J**
Don't want any.
**[07:37] Knot**
Are you all right?
**[07:38] J**
Mostly...
**[07:40] Knot**
You wrote up the audit report, right?
**[07:42] Knot**
Starting today, the chief's on break, too.
**[07:44] Knot**
Why not go home?
**[07:45] J**
Well...
**[07:47] Atri**
Deputy Chief, you're on break
starting day after tomorrow, right?
**[07:50] Atri**
Do you have any plans?
**[07:52] J**
I'll just be at home.
**[07:54] Moz**
Where do you want to go for
the New Year's countdown?
**[07:56] Keli**
There are a lot of options.
**[07:58] Moz**
I want to toast in the new
year with champagne!
**[08:00] Keli**
Uh, let's see which places
offer drinks like that...
**[08:04] Atri**
This is a really secret hole in the wall.
**[08:06] Keli**
Huh?!
**[08:07] Moz**
Oh, where?
**[08:08] Moz**
Hey... This is the deputy
chief's apartment building!
**[08:11] J**
I don't own the building.
**[08:13] J**
We have a party every year
in our entrance hall.
**[08:16] J**
General managers of big department
stores and stuff live there.
**[08:20] J**
We let them do what they want.
**[08:22] Staff**
Can we come?
**[08:24] J**
Sure.
**[08:25] Keli**
Deputy Chief, you'll also be there, right?
**[08:28] Atri**
You won't sleep through it, right?
**[08:30] J**
I'm sure my sister will be there.
**[08:32] Atri**
But you're the building manager, aren't you?
**[08:34] J**
I don't do anything, though...
**[08:36] Moz**
Knot, why don't you come, too?
**[08:38] Knot**
Sorry, I have kids, so I'll pass.
**[08:41] Moz**
Oh, okay. Too bad.
**[08:43] Knot**
Once they're a little older, I can.
**[08:47] Lotta**
Why don't we have a party at our place?
**[08:50] Lotta**
The little ones can sleep when they get tired.
**[08:54] Lotta**
And we have a spare room,
so people can stay over.
**[08:56] Lotta**
Take the smoking outside, Jean.
**[08:59] J**
That's what she said.

No, he works at the branch office.

I've lent him my lighter, though.
**[09:22] L**
Oh, he smokes, too?
**[09:25] J**
Well...
**[09:27] J**
I'm going to have a smoke.
**[09:29] Rail**
Oh, he left!
**[09:30] Rail**
Now's my chance!
**[09:31] Rail**
Hello...
**[09:32] L**
Happy New Year.
**[09:34] Rail**
Right, Happy New Year.
**[09:37] Rail**
Here's a cake from Dōwā. I heard you like it.
**[09:40] L**
Oh, thank you so much!
**[09:42] L**
*Maybe a thank you for the lighter?*
**[09:44] L**
*He went to all that trouble*
**[09:46] L**
*because he knows Jean likes Dōwān cakes.*
**[09:48] L**
*He's just a like a girl!*
**[09:49] Keli**
Oh, it's the chief.
**[09:51] Keli**
He's finally here.
**[09:52] Owl**
Happy New Year.
**[09:53] Owl**
There was a lot of traffic.
**[09:56] Atri**
Knot's family is over there.
**[09:58] Moz**
It's amazing!
**[09:59] Moz**
There's a kids' corner!
**[10:02] Keli**
This means they can relax and
enjoy themselves to the hilt!
**[10:06] Owl**
Lotta...
**[10:08] L**
Oh, Department Chief!
**[10:09] Owl**
Happy New Year.
**[10:11] L**
Happy New Year.
**[10:13] Owl**
The owner of the cafe we went to last time
**[10:13] Rail**
*He's the one who had tea with Lotta before!*
**[10:15] Owl**
baked a cake they eat in Dōwā
to celebrate New Year's.
**[10:19] Owl**
I got one for you.
**[10:20] L**
Oh!
**[10:21] L**
Thank you so much!
**[10:23] Rail**
* He might be an even bigger*
* obstacle than the brother.*
**[10:27] Residents**
Happy New Year, Jean.
**[10:29] J**
Happy New Year.
**[10:31] Residents**
Feel free to smoke here.
**[10:34] J**
Thank you.
**[10:35] Residents**
We received an order from Fāmasu District.
**[10:38] Residents**
They ordered more than fifty
donut vending machines.
**[10:41] Residents**
My company got a massive order, too.
**[10:43] Residents**
From Jumōku District.
**[10:46] J**
That's good to hear.
**[10:47] Residents**
We also got one.
**[10:48] Residents**
I hope you'll continue to help us this year.
**[10:50] J**
Of course.
**[10:51] L**
Amazing!
**[10:53] Staff**
So cute!
**[11:06] Atri**
Wow, you have an impressive guest list.
**[11:09] Atri**
You say you're just the manager,
but you have a great top-floor unit.
**[11:13] Moz**
Has your family been in the business long?
**[11:15] J**
Only starting with my parents.
**[11:17] Atri**
How did they end up in this position?
**[11:19] J**
No idea.
**[11:20] J**
I never really asked.
**[11:22] Moz**
Which one is the landlord?
**[11:25] J**
I don't think he's here.
**[11:27] J**
Actually, I don't know what he looks like.
**[11:29] All**
Huh?
**[11:30] Keli**
You really don't care about details,
do you, Deputy Chief?
**[11:33] Moz**
I thought you were just a private person,
**[11:35] Moz**
but maybe you just don't concern
yourself with personal matters.
**[11:50] Mauve**
It's been a hundred years
since ACCA's birth.
**[11:55] Mauve**
It seems I must be the one
to make a move, after all.
**[12:04] Mauve**
Now, in the hundredth year
following ACCA's creation,
**[12:08] Mauve**
I expect all of you to strive
even harder in your jobs.
**[12:11] Mauve**
Do not forget you are with ACCA.
**[12:15] Mauve**
We protect the citizens' livelihood.
**[12:19] Atri**
That was no different from the other
New Year's all-hands meeting.
**[12:22] Moz**
I thought it'd be different for
ACCA's hundredth year.
**[12:25] Keli**
I hear many people will come to
the centennial from all over.
**[12:29] Atri**
Oh, right.
**[12:30] Atri**
Guess there'll be a ceremony.
**[12:32] Keli**
They might decide next term's assignments
**[12:34] Keli**
for the Inspection Department, too.
**[12:36] Keli**
Everyone will be there.
**[12:38] Moz**
I wonder if the deputy chief
will get his transfer request.
**[12:41] Atri**
I just have this feeling that
nothing will change here.
**[12:44] Keli**
Yeah.
**[12:48] Mauve**
You've all helped me numerous
times since Kororē District,
**[12:51] Mauve**
but your speed still amazes me.
**[12:53] Staff**
We were allowed to come assist you
**[12:55] Staff**
when you were appointed director-general.
**[12:59] Staff**
You said to conduct district inspections
**[13:01] Staff**
to get a lay of the land before
the centennial celebration.
**[13:05] Staff**
But in truth, the coup rumors
were involved, after all.
**[13:08] Mauve**
I did hesitate to involve you all
in this coup d'état matter.
**[13:14] Mauve**
Once you acted, those in the know
might realize what was happening.
**[13:17] Mauve**
I've been forbidden from
my own investigation.
**[13:21] Mauve**
But based on your reports,
**[13:23] Mauve**
we don't seem to be in imminent danger.
**[13:26] Mauve**
The king's health is of concern.
**[13:28] Mauve**
But as we saw the other day,
he seems well enough.
**[13:32] Mauve**
Whether a coup happens will
depend on the royal family.
**[13:36] Mauve**
As for the districts, it seems
to be business as usual.
**[13:39] Mauve**
However, there is one concern.
**[13:42] Staff**
What would that be?
**[13:45] Mauve**
When I went home,
**[13:46] Mauve**
I met with Kororē District Branch Chief
Griese and District Chief Clem.
**[13:51] Mauve**
When I sprang the topic of a
possible coup d'état on them,
**[13:54] Mauve**
there was something odd
about their reaction.
**[13:58] Mauve**
So *something* is going on.
**[14:00] Staff**
We'll look into it.
**[14:02] Mauve**
Please do.
**[14:05] Staff**
What will you do about
the Suitsu coup d'état?
**[14:08] Mauve**
I'd heard of past cover-ups,
**[14:11] Mauve**
but it's the first since I
became director-general.
**[14:15] Mauve**
Not to mention, it happened during
Otus's audit, just a while ago.
**[14:18] Staff**
What an utter failure by the Inspection
Department, given their role.
**[14:22] Mauve**
Protecting their subordinates
probably affected it.
**[14:25] Mauve**
It was to protect the Inspection Department.
**[14:28] Mauve**
He takes his job seriously.
**[14:31] Mauve**
However, he does not seem loyal to me.
**[14:35] Staff**
One more thing, ma'am.
**[14:36] Staff**
This has not been proven,
**[14:39] Staff**
but regarding Grossular's
possible involvement...
**[14:42] Mauve**
Let's hear it.
**[14:46] Gro**
I see.
**[14:47] Gro**
I'll do as you say.
**[14:52] Jean**
I never noticed I had an observer
**[14:55] Jean**
you'd assigned to me.
**[14:58] Gro**
As for why Otus realized
he was being watched...
**[15:07] Pine**
How unusual to see Chief Officer Grossular
**[15:11] Pine**
in the common room.
**[15:12] Spade**
Apparently, various things outside the
norm occur in the hundredth year.
**[15:20] Lilium**
Yes?
**[15:23] Gro**
Why did you leak information
about Crow to Otus?
**[15:27] Lilium**
I wanted him to do something.
**[15:30] Gro**
But it was careless.
**[15:32] Lilium**
My apologies.
**[15:34] Gro**
You are the one taking reckless action,
**[15:37] Gro**
Chief Officer Lilium.
**[15:40] Lilium**
I want you to share all the information
**[15:42] Lilium**
you have on Otus with us.
**[15:46] Lilium**
And I'd like us to formally debate
the appropriate course together
**[15:49] Lilium**
for ACCA's future.
**[15:53] Gro**
I shall set a time and place.
**[16:02] Lilium**
I think I won that round.

Please dig in, Mr. Otus.

You can just call me Jean.

Did you even call me that
last time, Branch Chief?

You're really getting the red carpet.
**[16:31] J**
Seems that way.
**[16:33] BC**
Now, now.
**[16:34] J**
Everyone here seems cheerful.
**[16:36] P**
They're pretty happy-go-lucky, but today,
they've been over the top.

They're full of energy.

Hey, sorry to be late.

Wow, even the district chief's here!
**[16:52] P**
What's going on?
**[16:53] DC**
Thank you for coming out here, Mr. Otus!
**[16:55] DC**
I'm Sereno, the district chief.
**[16:58] J**
Nice to meet you.
**[16:58] DC**
You cut quite an impressive
figure, even from afar.
**[17:02] DC**
But you're even more so, up close.
**[17:05] BC**
Oh, indeed!
**[17:07] J**
The people of Hare District
are far more impressive.
**[17:10] J**
Everyone's so energetic.
**[17:11] DC**
Oh, no need for that.
**[17:14] BC**
The district chief is turning 91 this year!
**[17:18] BC**
Doesn't look it, does he?
**[17:19] J**
That's amazing!
**[17:20] BC**
Compared to him, I'm still
green around the ears.
**[17:25] BC**
Many people who went through
the coup a century ago
**[17:28] BC**
are still alive in this district.
**[17:30] J**
*The coup d'état, huh?*
**[17:35] J**
*I really need to return with some information,*
**[17:37] J**
*or I'll be in trouble.*
**[17:39] DC**
So, how's it going?
**[17:41] DC**
How are things progressing?
**[17:43] J**
Progressing?
**[17:43] DC**
Oh, um, you know...
**[17:45] DC**
You're making quite the rounds,
with all your audits.
**[17:48] J**
Oh, this will be my seventh district.
**[17:51] DC**
How are things in the other districts?
**[17:53] J**
Huh?
**[17:54] DC**
Well, you wouldn't want to blabber
about that in another district!
**[17:58] BC**
Indeed!
**[18:01] Lilium**
You're the intermediary for the
rebels planning a coup d'état.
**[18:04] J**
*I see.*
**[18:05] J**
*That's the role I'm said to play.*
**[18:09] J**
*His question just now*
**[18:10] J**
* was to probe how other districts*
* feel about a coup d'état.*
**[18:15] J**
*Then, I might learn something*
**[18:16] J**
*if I act the part and talk to them.*
**[18:21] J**
*But how should I do that?*
**[18:23] J**
Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to pile so much on.
**[18:26] P**
Oh, thanks so much, Deputy Chief!
**[18:29] J**
*Should I just get them drunk?*
**[18:32] J**
*Nino's really good at making me drink.*
**[18:35] J**
Please.
**[18:36] DC**
Huh?
**[18:37] BC**
Oh, please. You first, Mr. Otus!
**[18:39] J**
But I want to pour you drinks.
**[18:41] DC**
Really?
**[18:43] DC**
Then, thank you.
**[18:53] J**
*In the end,*
**[18:55] J**
*I only got bits and pieces out of them.*
**[18:59] BC**
I can't drink anymore.
**[19:01] J**
*Though it's for the director-general,*
**[19:04] J**
* doing things I hate happening*
* to me, to someone else sucks.*
**[19:07] Nino**
Good work.
**[19:09] Nino**
Want a drink?
**[19:11] J**
No, I don't.
**[19:16] J**
*I don't know if the information's useful,*
**[19:19] J**
*but I guess it's better than no information.*

*She isn't coming at all.*
**[19:34] Staff**
Privy Council President Qualm,
**[19:36] Staff**
His Highness, Prince Schwan,
wishes to meet with you.
**[19:42] Sch**
The portrait I had commissioned for
my coming of age is now complete.
**[19:46] Sch**
I would like to display it
**[19:48] Sch**
in the Dōwā family portrait hall.
**[19:51] Q**
Understood, Your Highness.
**[19:52] Q**
I shall have it done.
**[19:54] Sch**
I will decide where it should be put.
**[19:57] Sch**
Give me permission to enter the portrait hall.
**[20:00] Sch**
My grandfather treasures the hall
as the place he finds peace.
**[20:02] Sch**
I was to speak with you before entering it.
**[20:06] Sch**
So I'm not forbidden from entering it, am I?
**[20:10] Sch**
I will hang the portrait myself.
**[20:13] Q**
Understood, Your Highness.
**[20:15] Q**
But only you may enter the hall.
**[20:17] Q**
We, of the Privy Council,
will carry the portrait for you.
**[20:25] Sch**
It's been ten years since
I've been in this room.
**[20:29] Q**
Where should we hang the portrait?
**[20:32] Sch**
Let's put it next to this one.
**[20:34] Sch**
Grandfather always sits there, doesn't he?
**[20:38] Sch**
Let us hang the portrait where he
can easily see his successor, me.
**[20:47] Magie**
How did it go, Your Highness?
**[20:49] Sch**
I put it in a good spot.
**[20:51] Magie**
I'm happy to hear that.
**[20:53] Magie**
What should we do about the
bakery, Your Highness?
**[20:57] Sch**
I don't remember that topic being
a discussion point, Magie.
**[21:01] Magie**
Perhaps you should go to
Bādon once, Your Highness.
**[21:06] Magie**
Broadening your horizons is important.
**[21:09] Sch**
I do want to go to Bādon.
**[21:12] Sch**
As future king, there are many
things I should learn.
**[21:16] Sch**
But the Dōwā family has traditionally disliked
**[21:20] Sch**
for their women and children
to leave their home district.
**[21:24] Sch**
For that reason, I've never
had occasion to leave.
**[21:28] Sch**
All because of that tragedy
thirty-three years ago.
**[21:36] News**
*Our land, sea, and air transportation has*
**[21:39] News**
*now marked two years without accident.*
**[21:42] L**
Wow! ACCA is amazing.
**[21:44] J**
The Transportation Department is
always undergoing improvement.
**[21:47] L**
So is the Medical Department.
**[21:49] L**
The citizens' lives are being improved
in visible ways, so ACCA
**[21:53] L**
will become more popular than ever.
**[21:55] L**
Oh, toast's done!
**[21:57] J**
You made more toast?
**[21:58] L**
I mean, every day, you're buying
sandwich bread from Mugimaki.
**[22:02] L**
Eat one more slice, okay?
**[22:06] J**
*Popular, huh?*

*Flight BD022 to Dōwā is leaving the gate.*

**[00:08] J**
Can I have a smoke?
**[00:09] A**
If it's in this room.
**[00:11] A**
Please don't let Dōwā residents
see you smoking.
**[00:19] J**
*If I go by what I heard in Hare District,*
**[00:22] J**
* by now, all the districts have*
* heard about the coup plot*
**[00:26] J**
*and that I'm traveling as an intermediary*
**[00:28] J**
*for coup sympathizers.*
**[00:31] J**
*None of the districts have much activity.*
**[00:33] J**
* Perhaps they're waiting*
* to see what happens.*
**[00:36] J**
*I wonder what the situation is...*
**[00:40] J**
*High-ranking officials in every district*
**[00:42] J**
*think me part of the coup d'état.*
**[00:45] J**
* Chief Officer Grossular is monitoring me*
* because he thinks I'm a sympathizer.*
**[00:49] J**
*But some disagree with that assessment.*
**[00:52] J**
*That's right.*
**[00:54] Lilium**
I believe Grossular
**[00:56] Lilium**
started these rumors.
**[00:59] Lilium**
He is the one plotting the coup d'état.
**[01:02] J**
* Chief Officer Lilium believes that*
* I'm innocent. He's on my side.*
**[01:08] J**
* But he also worries that Chief Officer*
* Grossular is part of the coup.*
**[01:12] J**
*That's why he asked for my help.*
**[01:16] Lilium**
ACCA may suffer internal turmoil, but I'll
be sure to protect order in this nation.
**[01:22] J**
* Director-General Mauve asked*
* me to investigate the coup.*
**[01:27] M**
I would like your help.
**[01:29] J**
*But she doesn't seem*
**[01:30] J**
* to be aware of the rumors that I'm*
* the sympathizers' intermediary.*
**[01:36] J**
* I don't know what the other*
* chief officers believe,*
**[01:38] J**
*but it seems that high-ranking officials*
**[01:40] J**
*share the same perspective on the coup.*
**[01:43] M**
It isn't just a rumor this time.
**[01:46] J**
* Chief Officer Grossular ordered*
* Nino to observe me.*
**[01:54] J**
*Never mind Nino...*
**[01:56] J**
*I don't really get it.*
**[01:59] J**
*Everything hinges on Dōwā's royal family.*
**[02:03] J**
* On how much longer His Majesty*
* King Falke can retain the throne.*
**[02:08] J**
*Wait.*
**[02:10] J**
* What's the point of setting me up as*
* an intermediary in the first place?*
**[03:47] Qualm**
I'm counting on you for security tomorrow.
**[03:50] Mond**
Understood.
**[03:53] Mond**
I see how relaxed you are
**[03:55] Mond**
because tomorrow's outing
doesn't involve you, Magie.
**[03:58] Mond**
Tomorrow, when you stay behind, be sure
you take good care of His Highness.
**[04:02] Magie**
Yes, sir.
**[04:03] Mond**
If anything were to happen to His Highness,
**[04:05] Mond**
you are to stay by him.
**[04:07] Magie**
Just like thirty-three years ago.
**[04:11] Mond**
Hmm?
**[04:11] Magie**
I was just speaking of the
incident to His Highness.
**[04:14] Mond**
Ah.
**[04:16] Mond**
We exist to protect the royal family of Dōwā.
**[04:20] Mond**
But at times, things beyond
our control may occur.
**[04:26] Mond**
The ship sank,
**[04:28] Mond**
taking His Majesty's prized possession and
our beloved brother-in-arms with it.
**[04:33] Magie**
His Highness wishes to go out into the world.
**[04:37] Mond**
Oh?
**[04:38] Magie**
His position as sole heir
**[04:40] Magie**
seems to be motivating that line of thought.
**[04:44] Mond**
I see.
**[04:46] Mond**
If it ever comes to pass,
Magie, you must stay by his side,
**[04:51] Mond**
no matter what.
**[05:02] J**
Even more black clothes than usual.
**[05:05] N**
The wind is cold in Dōwā.
**[05:08] J**
Huh.
**[05:09] N**
Taking a cake back as Lotta's present?

No, she asked for this.

**[05:19] J**
and she heard about it.
**[05:21] Lotta**
I didn't see that!
**[05:22] Lotta**
I want to try it!
**[05:23] J**
So, yeah.
**[05:24] J**
We bought them at a morning market,
**[05:26] J**
and I don't know where the actual store is.
**[05:29] N**
It's just up ahead.
**[05:31] N**
It's closed now, so I'll bring you tomorrow.
**[05:34] N**
Where's your audit tomorrow?
**[05:36] J**
His Majesty is making an outing,
so I've put things on hold.
**[05:40] J**
I'm free all day.
**[05:42] N**
How about three o'clock, then?
**[05:44] N**
They have a great cake, so we can try it.
**[05:46] J**
Chocolate cake again?
**[05:48] N**
Nope, apple cake.
**[05:50] J**
Choosing a cake without
chocolate, that's rare.
**[05:53] N**
It's great.
**[05:54] N**
You haven't heard?
**[05:55] J**
You sure know a lot.
**[05:58] N**
Leave your uniform behind tomorrow.
**[06:00] N**
It makes you stand out.
**[06:03] J**
Uh, I didn't bring anything else to wear.
**[06:05] N**
Jeez.
**[06:09] J**
I wonder if it'll snow tomorrow.
**[06:15] L**
Oh, my god! Snowballs!
**[06:16] L**
Huge, too!
**[06:18] L**
So many!
**[06:18] L**
I'm so happy!
**[06:23] L**
I want to try them now...
**[06:30] L**
Jean, you'd better not have forgotten.
**[06:35] L**
Oh!
**[06:36] L**
It's snowing!
**[06:44] J**
Hey.
**[06:45] J**
Is there someone you're trying
to avoid running into?
**[06:48] N**
You have good instincts.
**[06:49] J**
I can tell.
**[06:51] N**
I don't get along with the owner here.
**[06:58] J**
Lotta will be over the moon.
**[07:01] N**
Which cake will you order for yourself?
**[07:03] J**
I'll take this snowball.
**[07:05] N**
I hear His Majesty likes them, too.
**[07:07] N**
The royal family orders from here.
**[07:10] J**
He really likes sweets, huh?
**[07:13] N**
I'll have the white chocolate cake
and the apple cake for here.
**[07:17] Staff**
This time, His Majesty is taking
his rest stop here.
**[07:22] Staff**
Oh, you didn't know?
**[07:24] Staff**
Every time he goes on an outing,
**[07:26] Staff**
he visits a pâtisserie he likes.
**[07:28] J**
Then we should leave.
**[07:30] Owner**
That won't be necessary.
**[07:32] Owner**
Please take a seat.
**[07:33] Owner**
His Majesty requests that
we do business as usual.
**[07:38] Owner**
He enjoys spending time with customers.
**[07:42] Owner**
The farthest seat in back is
reserved for His Majesty,
**[07:44] Owner**
but you can sit anywhere else.
**[07:47] J**
The owner seems like a nice person.
**[07:49] N**
I'm sure he's in a good mood
because the king will be visiting.
**[07:52] Owner**
You'll need to remove your
hat and sunglasses.
**[07:57] Mond**
That man...
**[07:59] Mond**
Isn't he with ACCA HQ's
Inspection Department?
**[08:02] Guard**
Did he come here because he knew
about His Majesty's visit?
**[08:07] Mond**
We only learned of it this morning.
**[08:09] Mond**
It must be a coincidence.
**[08:11] Mond**
But he has some nerve to be present.
**[08:15] Mond**
Who is the other man?
**[08:20] Mond**
Well, should there be any risk to His Majesty,
**[08:23] Mond**
Privy Council President Qualm will signal us.
**[08:28] J**
This is good.
**[08:30] J**
Can I try your cake, too?
**[08:33] N**
You have nerves of steel, you know.
**[08:35] J**
What?
**[08:36] N**
Right now, most people wouldn't
be able to say a single word.
**[08:41] J**
But they said to act like nothing is unusual.
**[08:44] J**
I'm sure it's fine, as long
as we aren't too loud.
**[08:46] King**
Is it good?
**[08:49] J**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[08:50] King**
Is that a snowball?
**[08:52] J**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[08:53] Q**
He is with the Inspection Department
at ACCA headquarters.
**[08:56] Q**
Is that right?
**[08:57] J**
Yes.
**[08:58] King**
He seems to be wearing clothes from Dōwā.
**[09:01] J**
Well...
**[09:02] J**
I only brought my uniform,
**[09:04] J**
so he lent me these.
**[09:06] King**
You are the photographer from
the coming of age ceremony.
**[09:11] N**
Thank you for allowing me to take
photographs, Your Majesty.
**[09:14] N**
I was able to get some good shots.
**[09:17] King**
No, I should thank you.
**[09:21] N**
You honor me, Your Majesty.
**[09:24] King**
Would you like to join us?
**[09:27] King**
I cannot eat so much alone.
**[09:29] J**
Um...
**[09:30] N**
He's telling you to come over.
**[09:32] N**
You shouldn't refuse.
**[09:35] Q**
Over there.
**[09:37] N**
May I take photos?
**[09:40] N**
They won't be seen by anyone
outside of here.
**[09:42] King**
Very well.
**[10:00] J**
That was quite a day.
**[10:03] N**
Yeah, it was.
**[10:07] N**
It isn't every day that you get thanked.
**[10:10] J**
I always thank you, and so does Lotta.
**[10:14] N**
I meant in my line of work.
**[10:16] J**
*He's drunk. That's rare.*
**[10:19] N**
When your supervisor praises you,
doesn't it feel good?
**[10:22] J**
Do you have one in your job?
**[10:25] N**
Yeah.
**[10:26] N**
I've never gotten any praise, though.
**[10:28] N**
When I see him, he usually tells me off.
**[10:30] N**
He did that last time.
**[10:34] N**
If I keep talking to you like this,
**[10:37] N**
I bet he'll grab me by the collar again.
**[10:39] J**
Do you like what you do, Nino?
**[10:44] N**
It isn't about whether I like it.
**[10:47] N**
I'm not supposed to like it.
**[10:49] N**
But I guess...
**[10:51] N**
I do.
**[10:54] N**
That's why I get told off...
**[11:00] J**
*Nino fell asleep.*
**[11:09] King**
This is good art, Schwan.
**[11:14] Schwan**
Grandfather, which painting do you like?
**[11:24] King**
All of them.
**[11:29] Staff**
This is our new mugwort walnut bread.
**[11:31] Staff**
Try it, if you'd like!
**[11:33] J**
Thanks.
**[11:34] Staff**
I guess the director-general isn't coming...
**[11:44] J**
*Is she avoiding me?*
**[11:47] L**
It's chock full of flour!
**[11:49] L**
It's delicious!
**[11:50] L**
The powdered sugar and white chocolate
**[11:52] L**
really make it look like a snowball!
**[11:55] L**
Oh, right! It snowed the other day!
**[11:58] J**
It also snowed in Dōwā.
**[12:00] L**
Huh...
**[12:00] L**
I'd love to go to Dōwā when it snows, too.
**[12:03] L**
I bet everything looks super cute then.
**[12:05] J**
You seem really into Dōwā.
**[12:08] L**
Yeah, I love it!
**[12:10] L**
What about you?
**[12:11] L**
You go to all the districts.
**[12:13] L**
Which one do you like most?
**[12:15] J**
Hmm.
**[12:17] J**
I like Dōwā a lot, too.
**[12:19] J**
But I think my favorite is Bādon.
**[12:21] L**
I'm sure I'm the same.
**[12:24] L**
And so is everyone...
**[12:25] L**
I bet they all like their home districts best.
**[12:28] L**
Where are you going on your next trip?
**[12:30] L**
It's soon, isn't it?
**[12:31] J**
Yeah.
**[12:32] J**
I'll have Nino take you out—
**[12:34] L**
Nino's also busy, isn't he?
**[12:37] L**
The department chief and I have plans
**[12:39] L**
to go and thank the café owner
for the New Year's cake!
**[12:43] L**
So I won't be lonely.
**[12:45] J**
Oh, okay.
**[12:46] J**
That's good.
**[12:47] L**
So where are you off to?
**[12:49] J**
Kororē District.
**[12:50] L**
Bring back chocolate for me!
**[12:51] J**
Yeah, yeah.
**[12:52] L**
Kororē's known for chocolate!
**[12:54] J**
*Chocolate, huh?*
**[12:56] J**
*Nino will definitely show up.*
**[13:00] N**
Notable figures in Hare District
seem proactive about the coup.
**[13:06] N**
Kororē is never influenced by what
happens in other districts,
**[13:09] N**
so there may be movement.
**[13:11] N**
I'll follow up in a later report.
**[13:19] N**
Thank you.
**[13:20] N**
I've finished my report to
Chief Officer Grossular.
**[13:24] N**
I'll be going to Kororē tomorrow.
**[13:27] N**
Dōwā?
**[13:29] N**
It went quite well.
**[13:31] N**
I sent over the report and photos.
**[13:35] N**
I'm fast, aren't I?
**[13:37] N**
I haven't slept a wink after
getting back from Dōwā.
**[13:41] N**
It's becoming harder to
shake off the fatigue.
**[13:44] N**
I need to eat some good chocolate, for sure.
**[13:47] N**
Yes, and Kororē is next.
**[13:51] N**
I understand.
**[13:52] N**
I'll talk to you later.
**[13:56] N**
Thirty years, huh?
**[13:59] N**
I've grown old.
**[14:04] Staff**
Why did the director-general entrust
him with such an important mission?
**[14:09] Staff**
Sir! Ma'am!
**[14:12] Staff**
Keep your voice down.
**[14:13] Staff**
My apologies.
**[14:14] Staff**
Look at this.
**[14:17] Staff**
Connections to coup d'état sympathizers?
**[14:19] Staff**
I knew it!
**[14:22] Staff**
Wait a minute...
**[14:26] Mauve**
I see.
**[14:28] Mauve**
So Jean Otus is...
**[14:30] Mauve**
He's currently in Kororē, isn't he?
***SIGN*** Kororē District
**[14:34] J**
*Hmm...*
**[14:37] J**
*They could've been staring*
**[14:40] J**
* because they heard the rumors*
* that I'm a coup sympathizer.*
**[14:46] J**
* I wonder if I'll have a chance to explain*
* myself to the director-general*
**[14:49] J**
*when she hears them.*
**[14:51] BC**
Welcome to Kororē District.
**[14:54] J**
Branch Chief Griese...
**[14:58] BC**
You must be exhausted.
**[15:01] BC**
You should try to get some rest in Kororē.
**[15:04] J**
Um...
**[15:04] BC**
I'm sure other districts give
you an extended welcome,
**[15:07] BC**
but we won't go to such lengths here.
**[15:10] BC**
The district chief and I have
made our decision.
**[15:13] BC**
We will never take a roundabout approach
**[15:16] BC**
like men in other districts.
**[15:19] J**
* Uh... It didn't feel like the right time*
* to probe into the coup situation.*
**[15:24] Larrousse**
Deputy Chief,
***SIGN*** ACCA Inspection Department
Kororē Branch Supervisor
Larrousse
**[15:26] Larrousse**
I've made transportation arrangements for
your sector audits, starting tomorrow.
**[15:30] J**
Thank you.
**[15:31] J**
As usual, you're efficient.
**[15:33] J**
In Kororē, men feel inferior.
**[15:37] Larrousse**
It's simply due to women
being slightly superior.
**[15:39] Larrousse**
There are many competent men here.
**[15:43] Larrousse**
By the way, about Dōwā...
**[15:46] Larrousse**
Is His Majesty in good health?
**[15:49] J**
He looks like he is.
**[15:51] Staff**
Everyone is worried
**[15:54] Staff**
about ACCA's future.
**[15:57] Staff**
What will happen when the
next ruler takes the throne?
**[16:02] Aunt**
My, Schwan...
**[16:04] Aunt**
How unusual for you to come visit.
**[16:08] Schwan**
I hope you are well, Aunt.
**[16:11] Aunt**
Why are you here?
**[16:12] Schwan**
To hear a story of the past.
**[16:15] Aunt**
The past?
**[16:17] Schwan**
The incident happened when
my mother was still young,
**[16:21] Schwan**
so I wished to hear about it
from you, her older sister.
**[16:27] Schwan**
Please tell me about your younger sister,
**[16:31] Schwan**
the second princess, who passed
away thirty-three years ago.
**[16:38] J**
There are so many shops,
**[16:40] J**
I can't tell which one's good.
**[16:46] J**
*Isn't Nino around?*
**[16:48] J**
*I wish he'd tell me where to go.*
**[17:01] M**
I received a report concerning you, Otus.
**[17:04] J**
Director-General, about that...
**[17:07] J**
It's only rumors. Or, um...
**[17:10] M**
You are royalty.
**[17:12] M**
You are first in the line of succession.
**[17:17] M**
As I suspected, you didn't know.
**[17:20] M**
Let us walk as we talk.
**[17:25] M**
I learned from a subordinate's report
**[17:27] M**
that you are an intermediary
for coup sympathizers.
**[17:30] J**
That's...
**[17:32] M**
And from another report that
you are of royal blood.
**[17:37] M**
In that moment of revelation,
**[17:40] M**
I suspected, "Jean Otus is being used."
**[17:44] M**
I try not to overestimate my intuition,
**[17:48] M**
but that is what I thought.
**[17:50] M**
And I don't think I am far from the truth.
**[17:54] M**
Well?
**[17:55] M**
Aren't you just being set up
as this intermediary?
**[17:59] J**
That's right.
**[18:01] M**
I believe you.
**[18:03] M**
I know that you are incapable of lying.
**[18:09] M**
Earlier, when I said you were useless,
**[18:13] M**
I was overly harsh on you.
**[18:15] M**
You are in the thick of things.
**[18:17] M**
What I wanted from you
was beyond your reach.
**[18:21] J**
It's true that I had nothing to report.
**[18:24] M**
No, there was.
**[18:28] M**
For example, the matter in Suitsu.
**[18:32] M**
You specifically chose not to tell me about
Chief Officer Grossular, did you not?
**[18:38] M**
I've heard you often spend
time at Mauve Avenue.
**[18:41] M**
Because you knew of my respect
for the chief officer,
**[18:44] M**
you chose not to inform me that he was
suspected of being a coup sympathizer.
**[18:49] M**
Am I right?
**[18:50] J**
When you put it like that, it's hard to deny.
**[18:55] J**
You're right.
**[18:56] M**
Had you reported it to me, it would've been
a major accomplishment, too.
**[19:00] M**
You chose not to out of consideration.
**[19:03] M**
But such consideration is unnecessary.
**[19:07] J**
There is a different reason why
I didn't report it to you.
**[19:11] J**
I don't believe Chief Officer
Grossular is involved.
**[19:14] J**
That's why I didn't report it to you.
**[19:19] J**
Director-General, it wouldn't have
been an accomplishment.
**[19:29] M**
You don't ask any questions about yourself.
**[19:35] M**
Did you suspect the truth?
**[19:37] J**
No, I'm still half doubtful.
**[19:40] M**
You're calm.
**[19:42] J**
I wouldn't say that.
**[19:45] J**
But I must ask someone for the truth.
**[19:47] Schwan**
Travel outside the district?
**[19:49] Schwan**
Why should I?
**[19:50] Magie**
I thought you wished to go to Bādon,
to broaden your horizons.
**[19:53] Schwan**
My horizons are broad enough.
**[19:56] Schwan**
I said I wanted to go to Bādon
**[19:59] Schwan**
because I wanted to learn more about the girl.
**[20:01] Magie**
I didn't know you felt so strongly
about Miss Lotta.
**[20:04] Schwan**
That isn't it!
**[20:06] Schwan**
It was to determine if she
would stand in my way.
**[20:11] Schwan**
After listening to my aunt's
tale, I believe I get it now.
**[20:15] Schwan**
I believe that girl is related
to the second princess.
**[20:19] Schwan**
Did the princess really die
thirty-three years ago?
**[20:23] Schwan**
That girl looks just like the princess,
**[20:26] Schwan**
in her portrait at age 16.
**[20:30] Schwan**
Well, even if she's related, she's a girl.
**[20:34] Schwan**
My line of succession remains unaffected.
**[20:37] Magie**
Miss Lotta has a much older brother.
**[20:40] Magie**
The disrespectful man
**[20:41] Magie**
who was smoking on castle grounds,
the day of the ceremony.
**[20:45] Schwan**
This is the first I'm hearing of this, Magie!
**[20:47] Magie**
Is that so?
**[20:48] Magie**
If necessary, I can return to Bādon and
**[20:52] Magie**
conduct a full investigation into Miss Lotta—
**[20:54] Schwan**
I don't care about that girl!
**[20:57] Schwan**
Go look into her brother!
**[20:59] Magie**
Wait, I cannot.
**[21:01] Schwan**
Why not?
**[21:02] Magie**
I cannot leave you, Your Highness.
**[21:06] Magie**
I was ordered to stay by your side, just like
the guard who disappeared
**[21:11] Magie**
into the sea with the princess,
thirty-three years ago.
**[21:14] Schwan**
The guard...
**[21:16] Schwan**
What was his name?
**[21:17] Magie**
Abend.
**[21:19] Magie**
You won't find any guard who
is ignorant of that name.
**[21:23] Magie**
He was said to have had beautiful white hair
**[21:25] Magie**
that caught the eye of the
beautiful second princess,
**[21:29] Magie**
who was as beautiful as snow herself.
**[21:30] Magie**
He should be remembered for his loyalty.
**[21:36] N**
Jean has learned the truth.
**[21:38] N**
Director-General Mauve informed him.
**[21:40] N**
I don't know the exact nature
of their conversation.
**[21:44] N**
Jean will come to me,
**[21:46] N**
and I will tell him.
**[21:49] N**
Now that he knows why he's
being involved in all this,
**[21:51] N**
isn't it okay to tell him the truth?
**[21:54] N**
Well?
**[21:55] N**
Do you wish to tell him yourself?
**[21:57] N**
You don't have time to consult
Privy Council President Qualm.
**[22:00] N**
He is here now.
**[22:02] N**
I understand.
**[22:03] N**
Excuse me.
**[22:05] J**
You don't need to stay on the call, Nino?
**[22:08] N**
No.
**[22:10] N**
Did you finish buying presents?
**[22:11] J**
Not yet.
**[22:13] J**
Tell me if there are any good places to go.
**[22:16] N**
All right.
**[22:18] N**
It's going to be a long story.
**[22:22] J**
Tell it to me.

Hearing the Privy Council's
district summary reports
***SIGN*** Second Princess of Dōwā Kingdom Schnee
**[00:22] Schn**
is the same as relying on rumors.
**[00:26] Q**
Ever since she returned from her
Kororē study abroad program,
**[00:30] Q**
Her Highness has taken a great
interest in national affairs.
**[00:35] King**
She always was interested in many things.
**[00:39] King**
She wants to go to the capital, Bādon, next.
**[00:42] Q**
She has contacts among the city's
revolutionary youths, as well.
**[00:47] Q**
She's reading books on philosophy
and political science.
**[00:51] Q**
Your Majesty, if you don't end this soon,
**[00:54] Q**
her actions will cast a shadow
on the Dōwā family.
**[00:57] Q**
And over the nation, given time.
**[01:00] King**
It would be a great pity
**[01:03] King**
to clip her wings.
**[01:17] Q**
There is another way.
**[02:58] Abend**
You summoned me, Privy Council
President Qualm?
**[03:02] Q**
You are Princess Schnee's aide.
**[03:06] Q**
Abend, this is an order, but you
can refuse to obey it.
**[03:12] Abend**
An order that I can refuse to obey.
**[03:17] Abend**
So I can refuse, if I agree to relinquish
my role as Her Highness's aide?
**[03:21] Q**
I will have you sign this sworn statement.
**[03:24] Q**
If you break this oath, know that
your life is forfeit.
**[03:28] Abend**
It must be a grave mission.
**[03:30] Abend**
I will hear it now.
**[03:33] Q**
Princess Schnee, the second princess,
**[03:35] Q**
is to be removed from the
Dōwā family registry.
**[03:38] Q**
She will become a commoner.
**[03:41] Abend**
Removed from the registry...
**[03:42] Abend**
Such a thing is possible?
**[03:45] Q**
Publicly, this nation's law
would not permit it,
**[03:49] Q**
but we can make it happen...
**[03:51] Q**
His Majesty, the princess, you,
and I. The four of us.
**[03:56] Q**
After the 7th, Her Highness will go on
a scheduled tour of Peshi District,
**[04:00] Q**
where she will traverse its
various islands by boat.
**[04:04] Q**
She will desire to board a small craft.
**[04:08] Q**
Only you will accompany her aboard.
**[04:12] Q**
That boat will sink.
**[04:15] Q**
You will take Her Highness to Bādon.
**[04:19] Abend**
Is this for the good of Her Highness?
**[04:20] Q**
It is for the good of the nation.
**[04:22] Q**
The princess's presence will
cast a shadow on the land.
**[04:26] Q**
However, what motivates your
decision is of no matter.
**[04:29] Q**
You are Princess Schnee's aide, after all.
**[04:32] Abend**
I accept the order.
**[04:35] Q**
Thank you.
**[04:37] Q**
There is one more thing I wish to ask of you.
**[04:44] Abend**
I understand.
**[04:46] Abend**
Will you allow me
**[04:48] Abend**
to take a family servant with us?
**[04:53] Abend**
As I swore fealty to the Dōwā family,
**[04:56] Abend**
this man has pledged fealty to mine.
**[04:59] Q**
Does he have any family?
**[05:01] Abend**
A young son.
**[05:03] Q**
Will he be able to leave him?
**[05:06] Abend**
I will compel him.
**[05:10] Abend**
We will be of use to His Majesty. I swear it.
**[05:19] NDad**
I will come with you.
**[05:21] Abend**
I thought you would say that,
**[05:22] Abend**
so I already have the privy council
president's permission.
**[05:26] Abend**
We can never return to Dōwā.
**[05:28] Abend**
You must lose everything.
**[05:33] NDad**
I will.
**[05:34] NDad**
You are losing your rank, your family,
**[05:37] NDad**
and everything, in order to serve
your master, the king.
**[05:42] NDad**
By accompanying and serving you,
I simply do the same.
**[05:47] Abend**
You should prepare.
**[05:50] NDad**
First, may I go to Honig Avenue
one last time?
**[05:56] NDad**
I'd like to let my son have some cake...
**[06:00] NDad**
The apple cake he loves
so much, one last time.
**[06:04] Abend**
Are you sure you can leave him behind?
**[06:07] NDad**
We have distant relatives,
**[06:09] NDad**
so he will want for nothing.
**[06:11] NDad**
He will suffer the misfortune
of not having any parents,
**[06:13] NDad**
but that cannot be avoided.
**[06:17] Abend**
Go.
**[06:19] NDad**
Thank you!
**[06:27] NDad**
You heard all that...
**[06:29] N**
You'll leave me, once I eat the cake?
**[06:35] NDad**
Hey!
**[06:38] N**
I'll go, too!
**[06:41] N**
For His Majesty.
**[06:44] Abend**
Go eat some apple cake, both of you.
**[06:48] Abend**
Before we leave.
**[06:55] Sch**
I was already thinking I wouldn't
mind leaving the family,
**[06:58] Sch**
if staying would prevent me from
seeing the outside world again.
**[07:02] Sch**
Thank you, Father.
**[07:04] Sch**
Thank you for letting me take
flight into the world.
**[07:08] King**
The outside world is not easy.
**[07:10] Sch**
That is why I'm leaving.
**[07:14] Sch**
Breaking this nation apart is not my wish.
**[07:17] Sch**
I shall learn, by my own experience,
what is necessary for this nation
**[07:22] Sch**
to remain at peace in the future.
**[07:24] Sch**
Not as a member of the Dōwā
family, but as a citizen.
**[07:28] Sch**
My hope is that I shall, one day,
be of help to you, Father...
**[07:36] Sch**
Qualm has never advised anything
that would harm you.
**[07:41] Sch**
This must be what is best for you.
**[07:46] Sch**
I only wish I did not have to involve Abend...
**[07:51] King**
Everyone has made their own choices
**[07:55] King**
from the available options, Schnee.
**[08:01] King**
You may feel uncertain,
**[08:03] King**
but you must not feel regret.
***SIGN*** Peshi District
**[08:10] Citizens**
Princess Schnee's boat has sunk!
**[08:13] Citizens**
There's no sign of the boat.
**[08:15] Citizens**
We urged her to take a ship...
**[08:18] Citizens**
Now, she rests at the bottom of the sea.
**[08:29] Abend**
Your Highness?
**[08:30] Sch**
It's a wig.
**[08:33] Sch**
You should wear a hat.
**[08:36] Sch**
Your hair stands out, even more than mine.
**[08:42] Sch**
Abend...
**[08:47] Sch**
Now, let's go to Bādon.
**[09:03] Sch**
Give me my luggage.
**[09:07] Sch**
Abend, take off your hat.
**[09:14] Sch**
Don't think about doing
things for me anymore.
**[09:17] Sch**
Live your own life.
**[09:20] Sch**
I will never see this white
hair of yours again...
**[09:25] Sch**
You'll go that way, and I'll go this way!
**[09:27] Sch**
We won't watch each other go or look back.
**[09:31] Sch**
Thank you, Abend.
**[09:34] Sch**
And farewell.
**[09:48] Abend**
*For the princess.*
**[09:57] NDad**
Princess Schnee is captivated
by sandwich bread.
**[10:00] NDad**
I like sandwich bread, too.
**[10:02] NDad**
But I'm more distracted by the
chocolate sweets available in Bādon.
**[10:06] NDad**
Today, I ran into a strange one...
Chocolate-coated rice crackers.
**[10:11] NDad**
That's for you to try.
**[10:12] NDad**
Try them, Ninno.
**[10:14] N**
It's Nino.
**[10:15] NDad**
Sorry, sorry.
**[10:17] NDad**
Names are hard...
**[10:19] NDad**
But we did abandon ours from Dōwā.
**[10:22] NDad**
Informing His Majesty about the
princess is a most honorable duty!
**[10:31] NDad**
The princess met a young man
at a sandwich bread store,
**[10:34] NDad**
and they fell in love.
**[10:35] NDad**
But he's poor.
**[10:41] NDad**
The master will take action.
**[10:43] NDad**
The young man now has a job!
**[10:46] NDad**
The master will use his private funds
**[10:47] NDad**
to build an apartment complex
in the middle of the city.
**[10:50] NDad**
He's been trusted with being
the building manager.
**[10:53] NDad**
The young man is over the moon
about this stroke of good fortune!
**[11:01] NDad**
The princess may have her suspicions.
**[11:08] NDad**
I wonder if it'll be a prince or a princess.
**[11:15] NDad**
Off, I go!
**[11:16] NDad**
Thanks for the sandwich.
**[11:18] NDad**
I'll be late, so go to bed without waiting up!
**[11:24] NDad**
Yes, master.
**[11:26] NDad**
I'll prepare the photographs right away
**[11:27] NDad**
and send them with the report.
**[11:45] N**
A chocolate shop that sells by
weight. They say it's good.
**[11:49] NDad**
It's all the way in the northern sector.
**[11:51] NDad**
Why go all the way there?
**[11:53] N**
I just happened to run into it.
**[11:59] N**
Did you send everything to the master?
**[12:01] NDad**
On the afternoon flight.
**[12:04] NDad**
The photos are with the report.
**[12:06] NDad**
I'm just bad at writing reports.
**[12:09] N**
Because you try too hard to
write them like a story.
**[12:12] NDad**
Don't you think that makes His
Majesty happier to read them?
**[12:17] NDad**
And when His Majesty is happy,
**[12:19] NDad**
so is the privy council president!
**[12:22] NDad**
That makes our master happy,
**[12:25] NDad**
and therefore, makes us happy.
**[12:28] NDad**
This is great chocolate!
**[12:30] N**
Is it?
**[12:32] NDad**
I'm glad you're with me...
**[12:35] NDad**
I'm really glad the master
allowed you to come.
**[12:41] NDad**
I'm still in awe that you never blamed me
**[12:43] NDad**
for trying to leave you behind,
**[12:45] NDad**
but accompanied me.
**[12:47] N**
You had no choice.
**[12:49] N**
Serving the master was your duty.
**[12:53] N**
That means it's my duty, as well.
**[12:56] NDad**
I see...
**[12:58] N**
Why are you crying? You're overreacting!
**[13:00] NDad**
Yeah,
**[13:01] NDad**
I just don't know where I'd be
if you hadn't been around...
**[13:05] NDad**
The master's all alone.
**[13:08] N**
That's the path he chose, Dad.
**[13:24] NDad**
Nino, how was the prince today?
**[13:27] N**
He was playing in the park.
**[13:29] N**
And Princess Schnee?
**[13:30] N**
Did she have bread-making class today?
**[13:33] NDad**
It's already been a month
since she started the class.
**[13:36] NDad**
Today, she brought a whole
pile of bread home,
**[13:39] NDad**
with a big smile on her face.
**[13:41] NDad**
I'm sure the prince will be happy, too.
**[13:44] NDad**
I wonder what kind of bread.
**[13:46] N**
Dad, I've been thinking...
**[13:49] N**
Maybe we should stop
calling him the "prince."
**[13:52] NDad**
That'd mean we should stop
calling her the "princess."
**[13:56] NDad**
Maybe we call her the "princess"
because she's beautiful like one,
**[13:59] NDad**
and we call him the "prince"
because he's noble like one!
**[14:02] NDad**
Well?
**[14:04] N**
Do what you want.
**[14:06] NDad**
The princess has given birth
to another princess!
**[14:12] N**
Just call them "Lady Schnee"
and the "little miss."
**[14:15] NDad**
Okay.
**[14:17] NDad**
The prince is still the "prince," Nino.
**[14:21] NDad**
It's been several decades since a prince
was born to the Dōwā family.
**[14:26] N**
A few years ago, the youngest
princess gave birth to a son.
**[14:30] N**
He will be the heir.
**[14:33] NDad**
Our prince is ten years older than he is.
**[14:37] NDad**
But I guess they're no longer
part of the Dōwā family!
**[14:40] N**
Yeah.
**[14:43] NDad**
Nino!
**[14:45] NDad**
Our prince will finally become
a high school student!
**[14:49] N**
Right.
**[14:50] NDad**
I'm giving you an official mission.
**[14:55] NDad**
Attend the same high school.
**[14:57] N**
Huh?
**[14:58] NDad**
Stay near him and protect him.
**[15:00] NDad**
You'll join the photography club.
**[15:02] NDad**
Take tons of photos from nearby!
**[15:04] NDad**
I'm sure His Majesty will be pleased.
**[15:06] N**
But...
**[15:07] NDad**
Just as His Majesty longs for my photos,
**[15:10] NDad**
he'll long for yours.
**[15:12] NDad**
Become friends with the prince,
**[15:15] NDad**
so that you're invited home and can
eat Lady Schnee's homemade bread.
**[15:18] NDad**
I'll have you write a report about its taste.
**[15:21] N**
But this year, I turned 25.
**[15:23] NDad**
Glasses!
**[15:25] NDad**
If you hide how your eyes look,
you can disguise your age!
**[15:28] NDad**
This is from the master to you.
**[15:36] NDad**
A camera.
**[15:38] NDad**
The glasses are from me.
**[15:52] [SONG] ---**
I'm sure it'll go well
In the chill morning light
**[16:00] N**
I'm Nino.
**[16:01] N**
Nice to meet you, Jean.
**[16:02] [SONG] ---**
A red bird sings
It says the time is now
**[16:11] [SONG] ---**
Feel uncertainty, just not regret
**[16:21] [SONG] ---**
Everything will be all right
Even lonely nights
**[16:30] [SONG] ---**
Are preludes to an eventual dawn
**[16:38] [SONG] ---**
Ah everything I see I hold dear
**[16:46] [SONG] ---**
It's my life
**[16:51] NDad**
The prince loves bread, too!
**[16:54] [SONG] ---**
You sent me forth like it was nothing
**[16:55] NDad**
I wonder about the little miss.
**[16:57] NDad**
Does she like bread, as well?
**[17:03] [SONG] ---**
to the door opening to a new tomorrow
**[17:12] [SONG] ---**
Holding that thought close to my heart
**[17:20] [SONG] ---**
I will take an important step forward
**[17:37] N**
I'm home.
**[17:39] NDad**
Welcome back.
**[17:40] NDad**
How were the prince and
the Otus household?
**[17:46] NDad**
Hmm?
**[17:47] NDad**
I smell something good.
**[17:49] N**
Yeah.
**[17:57] NDad**
If we send it priority express,
it should be okay.
**[18:01] NDad**
It isn't like it's summer now.
**[18:02] N**
Probably.
**[18:04] NDad**
Maybe I'll get scolded for overdoing it.
**[18:07] N**
If you don't meet face-to-face,
there's nothing to worry about.
**[18:10] NDad**
You're right.
**[18:11] NDad**
Let's have the report on the bread's flavor.
**[18:16] NDad**
Did Lady Schnee recommend
how it should be eaten?
**[18:19] N**
She said with lots of butter.
**[18:21] NDad**
"With lots of butter." Got it...
**[18:29] News**
* The tragic accident occurred*
* at 8:18 local time,*
**[18:33] News**
*at the Peshi-Rokkusu border.*
**[18:36] News**
* The central council has convened*
* an emergency session*
**[18:38] News**
*and made the following statement.*
**[18:43] N**
Hello.
**[18:43] Abend**
Did you see the news?
**[18:45] N**
I'm watching it right now.
**[18:46] N**
Any news of Lady Schnee and her husband?
**[18:49] Abend**
Their train fell into the ravine.
**[18:52] Abend**
Your father was probably
also in the accident.
**[18:56] Abend**
Knowing him,
**[18:57] Abend**
he'd have arranged it so that
anything connecting him
**[19:00] Abend**
to the Dōwā family would be out of reach.
**[19:03] Abend**
Go to Rokkusu immediately.
**[19:06] Abend**
Retrieve what your father
left there, and then return.
**[19:12] Abend**
It was for a day like today
**[19:14] Abend**
that you allowed my father to
take me with him, wasn't it?
**[19:19] Abend**
You knew I was standing outside the door.
**[19:25] Abend**
I didn't choose to help you for His Majesty.
**[19:31] Abend**
It was for your father, wasn't it?
**[19:33] N**
Yes.
**[19:34] N**
In other words, it was for my own sake.
**[19:38] N**
The same goes for you.
**[19:40] N**
You didn't choose this for His Majesty
or for the privy council president.
**[19:44] N**
You chose this for Princess Schnee.
**[19:47] N**
Because her happiness is yours.
**[20:18] N**
What I must make sure you understand
**[20:21] N**
is that Lady Schnee was removed
from the Dōwā family register.
**[20:24] N**
You have no claim to the throne.
**[20:28] J**
I don't care about that.
**[20:31] J**
When I lost my parents,
**[20:33] J**
you cheered me up, remember?
**[20:39] N**
You also have a little sister, right?
**[20:41] N**
Just call me if you need anything.
**[20:44] N**
I'm a better cook than you.
**[20:52] N**
We chose to watch over you and Lotta,
**[20:55] N**
my supervisor and I.
**[20:58] N**
I'm sure you dislike being watched.
**[21:01] N**
But as long as His Majesty lives,
you'll have to put up with it.
**[21:06] N**
I won't mess up again and
get noticed, though.
**[21:20] L**
Welcome back!
**[21:22] L**
You bought this much?
**[21:24] L**
That makes me happy.
**[21:27] L**
But can I give some away?
**[21:30] L**
To Nino.
**[21:32] J**
Oh...
**[21:34] J**
He might not come around for a while.
**[21:38] L**
He's busy?
**[21:40] J**
Well...
**[21:43] J**
I guess you could say that.
**[21:45] L**
Okay.
**[21:47] L**
Oh, that reminds me...
**[21:48] L**
When the chief and I went to the café
to thank the owner for the cake,
**[21:52] L**
he gave me another one.
**[21:56] J**
You're starting to look like Mom.
**[21:59] J**
Maybe you always did, since you were little.
**[22:02] L**
I am?
**[22:09] L**
We don't have a photo of
her as a girl, I guess.
**[22:14] L**
Hey, you'll also eat some, won't you?
**[22:22] L**
It's apple cake.

**[00:01] Mond**
Come with me, Magie.
**[00:06] Mond**
I heard Prince Schwan has been
visiting the first princess.
**[00:11] Magie**
Only twice, but yes.
**[00:13] Mond**
Until now, he hadn't visited
her since childhood.
**[00:17] Mond**
Twice is enough.
**[00:19] Mond**
What ideas has His Highness put in her head?
**[00:23] Mond**
The first princess's personal guard
is acting in a suspicious manner.
**[00:27] Mond**
Is Prince Schwan involved?
**[00:29] Magie**
I'm hard pressed to believe
that he isn't somehow.
**[00:32] Mond**
At any event, I will have to report this
to Privy Council President Qualm.
**[00:36] Sch**
Wait.
**[00:37] Sch**
My involvement is a regrettable
misunderstanding.
**[00:40] Sch**
Once I've learned the truth from my aunt,
**[00:43] Sch**
I shall have Magie report to you.
**[00:46] Sch**
Qualm can wait until afterward.
**[00:51] Aunt**
If what Schwan said is true,
**[00:54] Aunt**
the Otus siblings will eventually
become obstacles to our plan.
**[00:58] Aunt**
My beloved daughter...
**[01:00] Aunt**
I'd thought Schwan was the only
one who stood in our way.
**[01:03] Aunt**
Any complications must be seen to.
**[01:06] Aunt**
Go to Bādon.
**[01:09] Magie**
Perhaps the first princess intends to
send assassins after the siblings?
**[01:14] Sch**
I merely shared my speculations.
**[01:16] Sch**
My aunt is a dreadful woman, so perhaps
it is possible... she will do that.
**[01:22] Sch**
Once the snow stops, I shall visit her.
**[01:26] Sch**
By then, I may be too late, however.
**[01:30] Sch**
My aunt does as she pleases.
**[01:33] Sch**
If it happens, it happens.
**[01:56] Magie**
This is Magie.
**[01:57] Magie**
I have information regarding Miss Lotta.
**[03:36] J**
Chief, thank you for taking Lotta out
**[03:40] J**
while I was gone.
**[03:42] Owl**
Oh, she was the one who agreed
to keep me company.
**[03:45] J**
May I ask you a favor?
**[03:48] Owl**
What would that be?
**[03:50] J**
I have three more trips, back-to-back.
**[03:54] J**
During that time, could you take Lotta
out again, like for tea and such?
**[03:58] Owl**
That's fine by me, but are you
sure I'm the best person?
**[04:03] J**
When she talks about her outings with
you, she always seems very happy.
**[04:07] J**
I'm thinking of asking Knot
and the others, too.
**[04:10] Owl**
Of course I don't mind.
**[04:12] Owl**
I'll ask those three which
places Lotta might like.
**[04:17] J**
Thank you.
**[04:19] Owl**
You'll be on a long trip.
**[04:21] J**
Yes, the farthest one is first, Peshi District.
**[04:24] J**
From there, I'll fly to Yakkara,
**[04:27] J**
and then continue to Pranetta District.
**[04:30] Owl**
Jean, be careful.
**[04:33] J**
I'll be fine.
**[04:43] Guards**
Even among the masses, she stands out.
**[04:46] Guards**
She is undeniably of royal blood.
**[04:49] Guards**
The brother is currently not in Bādon.
**[04:51] Guards**
We'll take care of the sister first.
**[05:06] L**
Wh-What's this about?
**[05:09] R**
Shh!
**[05:11] L**
You're with ACCA...
**[05:12] R**
Your life is in danger!
**[05:15] L**
Why?
**[05:17] R**
I don't know why,
**[05:20] R**
but you're in danger.
**[05:22] R**
And suspicious people were following you.
**[05:24] R**
A friend, who lives far away, told me.
**[05:29] R**
I'll have to send him a ton of
sandwich bread as thanks.
**[05:33] R**
Let's take the subway to ACCA HQ.
**[05:35] R**
You'll be safe there.
**[05:40] R**
I don't really understand what's going on.
**[05:42] R**
It seems to be something that
can't be made public.
**[05:47] R**
But I'll protect you!
**[05:51] L**
Thanks.
**[05:56] R**
It's them.
**[05:58] R**
Let's blend in with the people
changing lines and get off.
**[06:09] R**
We're at the Central Marketplace Station.
**[06:11] R**
We can take the bus to the branch office,
**[06:13] R**
but they may have anticipated it.
**[06:17] L**
Maybe it'd be better if we went to my
place to see what's happening.
**[06:21] R**
It's true that your apartment
building has great security.
**[06:24] R**
But they know where it is.
**[06:31] L**
The café owner...
**[06:34] Cafe**
Why aren't you in school?
**[06:39] L**
They're the same sweets that Jean
brought me last time as a present!
**[06:43] Cafe**
It's also a traditional sweet from Dōwā.
**[06:46] Cafe**
I'll make some tea. Take a seat.
**[06:50] L**
You said your friend lives far away.
**[06:52] L**
Where does he live?
**[06:54] R**
Dōwā.
**[06:55] L**
I have a friend in Dōwā who
loves sandwich bread, too!
**[06:59] L**
He said he was really impressed
by how soft the bread is here.
**[07:05] L**
My mom was also like that.
**[07:07] L**
I'm told she came from another district,
and got into sandwich bread.
**[07:12] L**
I wonder if she was from Dōwā, as well...
**[07:15] Cafe**
They say Dōwā, Kororē, and Suitsu
**[07:19] Cafe**
have a lot of folks with blond or blue hair.
**[07:22] R**
My friend also has blue hair.
**[07:27] L**
Blue hair, huh?
**[07:31] R**
Hey, about this Dōwān friend of yours—
**[07:33] L**
Hey, my place is around the corner.
**[07:36] L**
Can we stop by, real quick?
There's a back entrance.
**[07:39] L**
I want to change clothes.
**[07:40] L**
This uniform really sticks out.
**[07:43] Cafe**
Don't play hooky too often, okay?
**[07:48] R**
*Oh, my god... Oh, my god!*
**[07:51] L**
I'll go change, so hang on.
**[07:53] R**
O-Okay.
**[08:02] R**
*She really does look like her mother.*
**[08:05] R**
*She must be from Dōwā...*
**[08:09] R**
Miss Lotta's in danger?
**[08:11] Magie**
Assassins are heading your way.
**[08:14] R**
Assassins?
**[08:15] Magie**
I can't give you many details,
**[08:18] Magie**
but since you were kind to me in Bādon,
**[08:21] Magie**
I'm giving you this information.
**[08:23] R**
How are you and Miss Lotta connected?
**[08:26] Magie**
No connection in particular.
**[08:29] Magie**
But if we are fortunate enough
to see each other again,
**[08:33] Magie**
I would like to have another lively
discussion about sandwich bread.
**[08:37] R**
Okay, I trust you.
**[08:40] R**
*I'll protect Lotta!*
**[08:44] R**
But why would her life be in danger?
**[08:48] L**
Jean's in Peshi District,
**[08:51] L**
and Nino's... He's busy.

I did not wish to cause further damage

**[09:37] J**
How does Peshi District view ACCA?

Do they feel it may as well not exist?
**[09:43] Herring**
No, ACCA must continue.
**[09:47] J**
Isn't there something you

Let's hear it.

Peshi District stands with you.

Oh, I should take some chocolate.
**[10:11] R**
It isn't a picnic, you know.
**[10:15] Security**
*Intruder alert. Intruder alert.*
**[10:18] R**
It's them!
**[10:19] L**
I'll try to contact security on the first floor!
**[10:23] R**
Lotta, they're already here!
**[10:27] R**
Let's go.
**[10:29] L**
Oh, please don't break the windows.
**[10:30] L**
The wind will get in.
**[10:31] R**
We don't have time!
**[10:34] R**
Can the staff elevator make other
stops than the ground floor?
**[10:37] R**
They may have others waiting downstairs.
**[10:39] L**
Yeah.
**[10:40] L**
Let's get to the basement machine
room, and take the stairs up.
**[10:43] R**
The police department must
have been notified,
**[10:45] R**
so I'm sure they'll dispatch a patrol car.
**[10:47] R**
But there's traffic at this time of day...
**[10:50] R**
I'm out of options.
**[10:51] R**
I'll ask someone I know for help.
**[10:54] R**
He'll look kind of shady, but don't mind him.
**[10:57] L**
Okay.
**[10:58] R**
But who were they, anyway?
**[11:01] L**
It's scary that we don't even know why.
**[11:05] L**
And Jean isn't here...
**[11:09] R**
I'll protect you.
**[11:12] Residents**
What's that alarm about?
**[11:14] Residents**
Is it a malfunction?
**[11:17] R**
As I thought, it's caused a huge commotion.
**[11:20] R**
Good timing, though.
**[11:21] R**
We can get out, using the crowd as cover.
**[11:27] R**
There he is!
**[11:28] R**
Good.
**[11:29] L**
Oh, the police are here, too.
**[11:31] R**
Really? Then it's better to
go under their protection.
**[11:35] R**
Hey!
**[11:38] Police**
Oh? I think he's a wanted fugitive.
**[11:41] Police**
Wait!
**[11:42] R**
Hey!
**[11:50] R**
What the hell are they doing?
**[11:53] R**
Oh, well.
**[11:54] R**
Let's just—
**[11:55] Guard**
We need you to get into the car.
**[12:06] Guards**
A traffic jam...
**[12:07] Guards**
There's no need to hurry.
**[12:09] Guards**
We have the target.
**[12:13] L**
Why me?
**[12:15] Guard**
It's your blood.
**[12:19] L**
You want... my blood?
**[12:21] L**
I don't think my blood type
is anything unusual.
**[12:24] Guard**
We must extinguish one of the
Dōwā family bloodlines.
**[12:28] L**
Eh?
**[12:29] R**
Oh!
**[12:30] R**
I see.
**[12:32] R**
Huh?!
**[12:33] L**
I'm of royal blood?
**[12:37] Guard**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[12:41] Guard**
It is unfortunate that we must extinguish
the life of someone so innocent,
**[12:45] Guard**
but it is an order—
**[12:49] Owl**
Apologies, the crowd has made me ill.
**[12:52] Owl**
May I rest here a short while?
**[12:55] L**
Chief?
**[12:56] Owl**
Miss Lotta!
**[12:58] Owl**
What a relief.
**[13:00] Owl**
Oh.
**[13:01] Owl**
Why do people from Dōwā have Miss Lotta?
**[13:04] Owl**
The black tie means that you work
for the first princess, doesn't it?
**[13:10] Owl**
Hmm...
**[13:11] Owl**
I work for ACCA Headquarters'
Inspection Department.
**[13:16] Owl**
How strange...
**[13:17] Owl**
We received no word that emissaries from
the royal family would be visiting.
**[13:22] Owl**
I'll have to confirm this with Dōwā Branch.
**[13:25] Guard**
Wait!
**[13:27] Owl**
Oh, you don't wish to make this public?
**[13:30] Owl**
You are welcome to go, if you
release the Bādon residents
**[13:34] Owl**
from your custody.
**[13:38] L**
Thank you, Chief.
**[13:40] Owl**
You're very welcome.
**[13:42] R**
You saved our lives.
**[13:45] R**
I'm sorry, Lotta.
**[13:46] R**
I wasn't strong enough.
**[13:49] L**
No need to apologize.
**[13:51] L**
You made me feel a lot better
while it was happening.
**[13:54] L**
Thank you!
**[13:58] Owl**
So, what is actually going on?
**[14:02] L**
Oh...
**[14:04] L**
I don't really understand it, either...
**[14:08] Owl**
I'll check on the ACCA side.
**[14:11] Owl**
Once Jean returns from his audit,
we'll have a proper chat.
**[14:15] L**
Okay.
**[14:16] L**
What were you doing here, Chief?
**[14:18] Owl**
I was going to ask if you
wanted to go for lunch.
**[14:22] Owl**
Would you like to come, as well?
**[14:24] Owl**
My staff will be joining us.
**[14:27] L**
Let's all go!
**[14:28] L**
The more, the merrier.
**[14:30] R**
I'm happy to accept, then.
**[14:37] L**
Please don't tell anyone else about that.
**[14:41] R**
Okay.
**[14:47] R**
*I'm sharing a secret with Lotta!*
**[14:52] Staff**
We've received a report from

**[14:54] Staff**

**[14:58] Staff**
were acting strangely in Bādon District.
**[15:01] M**
Forward the report to the
Five Chief Officers, also.
**[15:05] M**
So the royal family has finally learned
**[15:08] M**
that Otus has royal blood,
**[15:11] M**
after it's been rumored for six
months, across the districts?
**[15:16] M**
Anything else?
**[15:18] Staff**
An emergency meeting of the Five Chief
Officers tomorrow, at two o'clock.
**[15:23] M**
I see.
**[15:32] Gro**
If things do not go as planned, what then?
**[15:38] Passer**
Deputy chief, this is a gift
from the district chief.
**[15:41] Passer**
His secretary brought it here.
**[15:44] Passer**
Starting tomorrow, you'll be

**[15:46] J**
Yeah.
**[15:47] Passer**
How nice!

**[16:18] Falco**
Heads, we take the right route...
**[16:24] Falco**
Tails.
**[16:26] Falco**
We'll take the left route, then.
**[16:29] J**
They've really embraced the local culture...

When a place is this unique, you have
no choice but to embrace it.

That's what this nation's about, isn't it?

There are thirteen unique characteristics,

That's one of our national virtues.
***SIGN*** 5 Chief Officers' Meeting Room
**[16:47] ---**
Today, it seems we'll finally
hear what's going on.
**[17:02] Lilium**
Please begin, Chief Officer Grossular.
**[17:08] Gro**
I will tell you about Jean Otus.
**[17:12] Gro**
As you all must have heard,
via various channels,
**[17:16] Gro**
there is a rumor that the
man is of royal blood.
**[17:20] Gro**
I first heard it right after
**[17:23] Gro**
our initial decision to terminate
the Inspection Department.
**[17:26] Gro**
Upon investigation of that rumor,
**[17:28] Gro**
I found it to be true.
**[17:31] Gro**
As you well know,
**[17:32] Gro**
in recent years,
**[17:34] Gro**
each district has been suspected
of having pro-coup elements.
**[17:39] Gro**
I believe there should be a coup,
spearheaded by ACCA.
**[17:45] Gro**
I suggested the Inspection
Department's termination
**[17:48] Gro**
to minimize any obstacles for
those working toward a coup.
**[17:53] Gro**
However, then I learned that an
Inspection Department member,
**[17:56] Gro**
Otus, was of royal blood.
**[17:59] Gro**
I decided using him was more strategic,
**[18:01] Gro**
so I agreed to allow the Inspection
Department to continue.
**[18:04] Pine**
Then, your claim
**[18:05] Pine**
to information that Otus was acting as an
intermediary between sympathizers was...
**[18:10] Gro**
Correct.
**[18:11] Gro**
I did not obtain that information.
I created the rumor
**[18:14] Gro**
that Otus, who is of royal blood,
**[18:16] Gro**
sought districts that shared "his" goals.
**[18:21] Gro**
Once Otus was situated as an intermediary,
**[18:23] Gro**
I assigned Crow, from Internal Affairs,
to observe him,
**[18:26] Gro**
so Crow could report how each district's
notable figures reacted to the rumor.
**[18:31] Gro**
I want you all to think hard about this.
**[18:33] Gro**
Prince Schwan,
**[18:35] Gro**
soon to be King Schwan, wishes to
abolish ACCA and create an autocracy.
**[18:39] Gro**
To prevent his ascension,
and to preserve order,
**[18:43] Gro**
we will trigger a coup d'état.
**[18:46] Gro**
Otus is an upright individual, who desires
to preserve peace in this nation.
**[18:50] Gro**
If he is the next king, the nation
will continue to be at peace.
**[18:55] Gro**
But because he is no longer on
the Dōwā family register,
**[18:59] Gro**
we cannot achieve that by normal means.
**[19:02] Gro**
That is why I linked him
to the coup movement,
**[19:05] Gro**
to garner sympathizer support
for his claim to the throne.
**[19:09] Gro**
This is for the future of ACCA.
**[19:12] Gro**
What say you all?
**[19:14] Gro**
This poses no danger to the people.
**[19:16] Gro**
ACCA serves to protect the people,
and ACCA will lead the coup d'état.
**[19:21] Lilium**
Chief Officer Grossular,
**[19:23] Lilium**
why didn't you present this plan
to us at the very beginning?
**[19:28] Gro**
I had to first observe how each district felt
**[19:32] Gro**
about a potential coup.
**[19:34] Gro**
Only once the majority of districts
supported a coup
**[19:37] Gro**
could it even be a possibility.
**[19:39] Gro**
And that has come to pass.
**[19:42] Gro**
Chief Officer Lilium,
**[19:45] Gro**
do you find my argument
unsatisfactory, as usual?
**[19:48] Lilium**
No.
**[19:51] Lilium**
I side with Chief Officer Grossular.
**[19:55] Lilium**
I agree.
**[19:58] Pastis**
This is the first time the two of you
**[20:00] Pastis**
have agreed on something, isn't it?
**[20:03] Lilium**
Some aspects of the plan require
further refinement,
**[20:06] Lilium**
but ACCA's continued existence
safeguards this nation's future.
**[20:10] Lilium**
And if this is the only means
of protecting ACCA...
**[20:14] Lilium**
What do the rest of you think?
**[20:16] Pine**
This means that ACCA will take the lead
**[20:19] Pine**
in the coming coup, right?
**[20:22] Pine**
Your opinions have aligned...
**[20:25] Pine**
I see no reason to object.
**[20:28] Pastis**
As long as I can protect Suitsu's beautiful
scenery, I have no preference.
**[20:33] Lilium**
And you, Chief Officer Spade?
**[20:36] Spade**
It's true, I would take no pleasure in
standing by, while that idiot prince ascends.
**[20:41] Spade**
Then, let's stake our bet on preserving ACCA.
**[20:46] Spade**
Chief Officer Grossular,
**[20:48] Spade**
you started us down this path.
**[20:51] Spade**
I'd hope that you would not try to take
back the cards you laid on the table.
**[20:56] Gro**
I merely dealt the cards.
**[21:04] Lilium**
See? Nothing to worry about.
**[21:07] Lilium**
Though, perhaps "I merely dealt
the cards" was a tad much,
**[21:11] Lilium**
Chief Officer Grossular.
**[21:13] Lilium**
Let's have a toast.
**[21:17] Lilium**
Didn't things proceed just as I said?
**[21:21] Lilium**
It was simple, yes?
**[21:24] Lilium**
This is why
**[21:26] Lilium**
I opposed you at every turn
before those three.
**[21:31] Lilium**
There's no need to look at
me that way now.
**[21:35] Lilium**
From now on, we have to stay
in agreement, remember?
**[21:39] Lilium**
We must make this an entertaining game.
**[21:42] Lilium**
Otherwise, Chief Officer Spade
and the others will tire of it.
**[21:46] Lilium**
Ensuring Director-General Mauve
stays quiet is our next step.
**[21:50] Gro**
That will be the most difficult challenge of all.
**[21:53] Lilium**
We'll manage.
**[21:54] Gro**
I wonder.
**[22:01] Lilium**
You... will manage.
**[22:06] Lilium**
She will listen to you.
**[22:09] Lilium**
Am I wrong?
**[22:12] Lilium**
It will be fine.
**[22:13] Lilium**
Don't worry, Chief Officer Grossular.

You merely need to do as I say.

Starfall in a City Without a Sky.
**[24:01] N**
A city without a sky, huh?
**[24:03] N**
Even if it's all dark,
**[24:04] N**
I can always see
**[24:06] N**
the glimmer of the cigarette.

**[00:00] Falco**
The branch chief is making room
for you at the table tonight.
**[00:05] Falco**
Their love for poker is well known.
**[00:09] Falco**
It will be a long night.
**[00:14] J**
You aren't going to play poker?

***SIGN*** ACCA Yakkara District, Branch Chief Kino
**[00:18] B**
Before we start, I'll give you this.
**[00:26] B**
It's a cigarette from Yakkara.
**[00:29] B**
It should be good.
**[00:32] B**
Yakkara is a gambler who's
always chasing dreams.
**[00:36] B**
We'll place our bets on you,
**[00:38] B**
the one who should sit upon the throne.
**[00:42] J**
That's a huge wager.
**[00:44] B**
When you dream, dream big.
**[00:47] B**
Wouldn't you agree?
**[02:23] M**
I'm here.
**[02:29] Gro**
When you became director-general
**[02:31] Gro**
and stood here for the first time,
**[02:33] Gro**
what were your thoughts?
**[02:34] M**
Probably the same as yours, Chief Officer.
**[02:38] Gro**
Were they?
**[02:40] Gro**
When I saw the neat rows of staff
from each district branch,
**[02:45] Gro**
I felt the need to further unify ACCA.
**[02:50] Gro**
*The uniforms seem to*
**[02:52] Gro**
*symbolize the current organization itself.*
**[02:58] Lilium**
*How fragmented...*
**[03:06] Lilium**
Each district's characteristics are important,
**[03:08] Lilium**
but ACCA mustn't overemphasize them.
**[03:13] Lilium**
What can be unified, should be.
**[03:16] Lilium**
Weren't you thinking along the same
lines, Chief Officer Grossular?
**[03:22] Gro**
ACCA could be said to symbolize
the nation's very order.
**[03:25] Gro**
It needs to be strengthened.
**[03:28] Lilium**
Worrisome rumors also never cease.
**[03:32] Gro**
You mean about a coup?
**[03:34] Lilium**
It won't be long until Prince Schwan
will ascend the throne.
**[03:39] Lilium**
Self-preservation instincts have
been roused in every district.
**[03:44] Lilium**
A coup d'état will occur.
**[03:47] Lilium**
There is no doubt.
**[03:49] Lilium**
I am all for it.
**[03:51] Lilium**
However, it shouldn't be
to preserve the districts.
**[03:54] Lilium**
But to preserve order and
the lives of the citizenry.
**[03:58] Lilium**
If ACCA leads the coup,
that will be possible.
**[04:02] Gro**
Won't that be a difficult feat?
**[04:05] Lilium**
I don't hear you opposing my viewpoint,
**[04:08] Lilium**
Chief Officer Grossular.
**[04:10] Lilium**
That means we are of the same mind.
**[04:13] Lilium**
Why don't we try a small ruse?
**[04:17] Gro**
If ACCA can protect this nation,
**[04:22] Gro**
I will agree to your proposal.
**[04:27] Lilium**
The ruse is quite trivial,
**[04:30] Lilium**
but it may prove effective.
**[04:32] Pine**
The two of you really are such opposites.
**[04:36] Pastis**
I doubt we shall ever have
a unanimous decision.
**[04:42] Lilium**
I don't want to quash pro-coup
stirrings in the districts now.
**[04:45] Lilium**
The Inspection Department is our concern
because they audit all the districts.
**[04:50] Lilium**
If Jean Otus is of royal blood,
**[04:52] Lilium**
the coup will gain the added justification
of putting him on the throne.
**[04:58] Lilium**
Mauve is looking into the
coup d'état rumors.
**[05:01] Lilium**
We must stop her.
**[05:03] Lilium**
It'll be fine.
**[05:06] Lilium**
You can do this, Chief Officer Grossular.
**[05:10] Lilium**
There is nothing for you to worry about.
**[05:13] Lilium**
Everything will go well...
**[05:17] M**
You wish to speak with me
about the coup, correct?
**[05:24] M**
If that is your decision,
**[05:27] M**
I have no objection.
**[05:29] M**
If that is the only way to protect
ACCA and this nation.
**[05:37] M**
However,
**[05:38] M**
we don't yet know if we will
be able to convince Otus
**[05:42] M**
to join the coup.
**[05:47] Lilium**
Thank you for coming all the way here.
**[05:50] Lilium**
ACCA will lead the coup, Brother.
**[05:53] LilBro**
Oh?
**[05:55] Lilium**
This nation has begun to move
as our family desires.
**[05:59] Lilium**
So that our Furawau District will
obtain everything in its grasp.
**[06:07] Moz**
Assorted cookies from Hachikuma!
**[06:10] Atri**
I've brought...
**[06:11] Atri**
butter cake!
**[06:15] Knot**
Where's the chief?
**[06:17] Keri**
With the rain, maybe he's running late.
**[06:20] Atri**
Agent Rail, you don't have a sweet tooth?
**[06:23] R**
It isn't that.
**[06:24] Moz**
Hey, I know you're a good person
at heart, so a word of advice.
**[06:27] Atri**
If you want to keep working at ACCA,
**[06:30] Atri**
it's now or never to turn over a new leaf.
**[06:32] R**
Huh?
**[06:33] Moz**
Internal Affairs may have an eye on you,
**[06:36] Moz**
you know?
**[06:37] Keri**
If this doesn't ring any bells, it's fine.
**[06:42] Keri**
Lotta, isn't the uniform of
the Bādon Branch cool?
**[06:46] L**
Yeah.
**[06:47] Moz**
Especially the police uniform!
**[06:50] L**
It's really cool!
**[06:51] Atri**
By the way, Lotta, do you
have someone you like?
**[06:54] L**
Not right now, I guess...
**[06:57] Keri**
You mean you used to?
What was he like?
**[06:59] L**
More someone I looked up
to than someone I liked.
**[07:02] L**
A friend of my brother's.
**[07:04] Atri**
Tell us more!
**[07:06] R**
*Maybe she means that blue-haired dude.*
**[07:10] Owl**
Yes,
**[07:11] Owl**
I doubt that was the end of it, either.
**[07:15] Owl**
Stay vigilant.
**[07:17] Owl**
The Dōwā family's involvement
is unfortunate,
**[07:20] Owl**
but don't let it affect how you
handle things. Very well.
**[07:25] Owl**
Pranetta's next, eh?
***SIGN*** Pranetta District
**[07:29] J**
Yeah, my bus just reached the border.
**[07:33] J**
I hear people are inviting you
to stuff everywhere, Lotta?
**[07:36] L**
Yeah, we couldn't do a barbecue
because of the rain today,
**[07:40] L**
so I hosted a dessert party at our place.
**[07:43] J**
I see.
**[07:45] J**
It's bone dry here...
**[07:48] L**
Be careful.
**[07:51] J**
Okay.
**[07:56] Ro**
Deputy Chief, thank you
for coming out here.
**[07:59] J**
Hmm?
***SIGN*** ACCA Inspection Department
Pranetta Branch Supervisor
Rocksterra
**[08:00] Ro**
I adjusted my uniform to the locale.
**[08:06] Ro**
I have a message from the branch chief.
**[08:08] Ro**
Unlike other districts,
**[08:10] Ro**
we have no special welcome
for you, Deputy Chief.
**[08:15] Ro**
The district chief agrees.
**[08:18] Ro**
We understand it may be disrespectful
toward one of royal blood.
**[08:22] Ro**
But this is how Pranetta operates.
**[08:25] Ro**
Please get in.
**[08:27] Ro**
We have water,
**[08:28] Ro**
but please drink sparingly.
**[08:30] Ro**
It's a scarce resource.
**[08:51] J**
Down here is much better than up there.
**[08:56] Ro**
Let's drop your baggage off
**[08:58] Ro**
before we start the rounds.
**[09:03] J**
Here?
**[09:05] Ro**
We apologize that we can't
provide actual lodging.
**[09:07] Ro**
This is our night duty room.
**[09:09] Ro**
You'll find everything you need there.
**[09:11] J**
A big group in town or something?
**[09:14] Ro**
They're filming a drama series,
**[09:16] Ro**
so the film crew has booked
all the nearby lodgings.
**[09:19] J**
Huh...
**[09:21] J**
* I thought he wouldn't be able to*
* follow me all the way out here,*
**[09:26] J**
*but I bet he's watching from somewhere.*
**[09:31] Staff**
Deputy Chief, thank you for coming.
**[09:34] J**
Thanks.
**[09:35] Staff**
I retrieved all the reports from yesterday.
**[09:38] Staff**
I'll input them now.
**[09:40] Ro**
Thanks.
**[09:43] Ro**
We should also get going.
**[09:45] Ro**
Where would you like to go first?
**[09:47] J**
For this district,
**[09:49] J**
I think going in order is best.
**[09:51] Ro**
Then, let's start at the north
sector and go clockwise.
**[09:54] J**
Okay.
**[09:59] Ro**
Are you already done?
**[10:01] J**
Yeah, there aren't any issues.
**[10:04] J**
This district is pretty problem-free.
**[10:06] Ro**
Yes, it gives us an easy time of it.
**[10:10] Ro**
And he should be done entering
the reports into the system.
**[10:13] Ro**
I'm going back to send them.
**[10:16] J**
I'll come with you.
**[10:21] J**
Four o'clock, huh?
**[10:23] J**
The bells are handy...
**[10:26] Ro**
This place makes you lose track of time.
**[10:30] Ro**
But it is different from living in sunlight.
**[10:35] Ro**
This is a hard place to live, really.
**[10:37] Ro**
Basically, TV is our only entertainment.
**[10:40] J**
But no one looks down on it.
**[10:43] J**
Especially around this time,
when the guys come back
**[10:46] J**
from the excavation sites.
**[10:49] Ro**
They're chasing a dream, after all.
**[10:54] J**
It's inconvenient that you can't
send reports from here.
**[10:58] J**
If only you could set up an antenna...
**[11:02] Ro**
The signal could interfere with
TV broadcasts, you see.
**[11:05] Ro**
We can't disturb the sole
source of entertainment
**[11:08] Ro**
for district citizens, just for our convenience.
**[11:12] H**
But it does help you get exercise.
**[11:16] H**
When I was at the Jumōku Branch,
I gained a ton of weight.
**[11:18] H**
But I lost it all after I came here.
**[11:22] Ro**
Please ensure that, after Jumōku,
**[11:25] Ro**
Agent Koruri is assigned here, too.
**[11:28] J**
I'll talk to the department chief.
**[11:33] H**
The signal is bad today.
**[11:36] Ro**
Should we try another spot?
**[11:38] H**
It might be better in the east.
**[11:43] Ro**
A storm may be coming.
**[11:51] J**
You can't see anything...
**[11:54] Ro**
Nothing we can do.
**[11:56] Ro**
Looks like it'll take time,
so let's have dinner.
**[12:01] Ro**
But I'm afraid it'll have to
be emergency rations.
**[12:04] J**
I haven't had hardtack in ages.
**[12:07] Ro**
I'm sorry we're making you eat this.
**[12:12] J**
It's fine.
**[12:13] J**
You seem to be worried
about offending me.
**[12:17] J**
But I'm just like you guys.
**[12:23] J**
This is good!
**[12:25] J**
Can I open the pistachios, too?
**[12:27] H**
You like nuts, Deputy Chief?
**[12:30] H**
We have snacks today, too...
**[12:31] H**
Popcorn from Jumōku!
**[12:33] H**
Caramel and cheese!
**[12:36] J**
They say it's hard to live
in Pranetta or Suitsu,
**[12:41] J**
but Pranetta is different from Suitsu.
**[12:44] J**
People and goods freely come and go.
**[12:48] Ro**
While Suitsu has a wide gap between
nobility and commoners,
**[12:51] Ro**
the district itself is not impoverished.
**[12:54] Ro**
The administration is the problem.
**[12:56] Ro**
Pranetta is actually poor.
**[12:59] Ro**
Although the district is vast,
no crops can grow,
**[13:02] Ro**
and we have limited goods.
**[13:05] Ro**
But the district residents choose
to pursue their dreams
**[13:09] Ro**
over material improvements.
**[13:13] J**
You mean the mining industry.
**[13:16] Ro**
Yes.
**[13:17] Ro**
They allocate the majority of the budget
from the central council for that.
**[13:22] Ro**
There haven't been any huge finds.
**[13:25] Ro**
Perhaps nothing really is there.
**[13:28] Ro**
But the district residents still
haven't given up,
**[13:30] Ro**
and no one complains about
the administration.
**[13:34] Ro**
That's the difference between
here and Suitsu.
**[13:37] Ro**
The only discomfort Pranetta citizens
feel from living underground
**[13:41] Ro**
is that they don't live under the sky.
**[13:49] Ro**
I'm glad the storm subsided
faster than expected.
**[13:54] J**
Huh?
**[13:55] J**
I hear a noise outside.
**[13:57] J**
I wonder if they're filming.
**[13:59] Ro**
No, it's residents.
**[14:02] Ro**
This time of day is comfortable
enough to go above ground,
**[14:04] Ro**
so they're enjoying the outside air.
**[14:08] Poll**
Hi, Agent Otus...
**[14:11] Poll**
Thank you for coming all the way out here.
**[14:13] J**
It's been a while, Branch Chief.
**[14:16] Poll**
How about it?
**[14:17] Poll**
Walk with me to enjoy the dusk?
**[14:20] J**
Certainly.
**[14:24] Poll**
District Chief,
**[14:25] Poll**
everyone from the Inspection
Department is back, safe and sound.
**[14:28] Kid**
Here you go.
**[14:29] J**
Thanks.
**[14:31] DC**
The storm must have made things tough.
**[14:34] J**
Yes,
**[14:35] J**
this place is really something.
**[14:39] J**
But everyone looks so cheerful.
**[14:45] DC**
Do you have any cigarettes?
**[14:47] J**
Yes.
**[14:48] DC**
May I have one?
**[14:50] J**
Of course.
**[14:52] J**
Please.
**[14:58] DC**
Our lives will probably remain the same,
**[15:02] DC**
regardless of the coup's success.
**[15:06] DC**
Unlike other districts,
we have nothing to protect.
**[15:10] DC**
That is why Pranetta chose not
to participate in the coup.
**[15:15] DC**
But when we told her that, she said that,
**[15:19] DC**
should we chance upon underground
resources and become wealthy,
**[15:23] DC**
there could be war.
**[15:27] DC**
That is, if ACCA
**[15:29] DC**
dissolved with this nation's order.
**[15:32] DC**
While insisting that we pursue dreams,
**[15:35] DC**
we must have never thought
we'd ever realize them.
**[15:39] DC**
After all, we never considered
what would happen if we did.
**[15:42] DC**
Instead of Prince Schwan,
who wishes to terminate ACCA,
**[15:46] DC**
we will support you, the one
with ACCA, for the throne.
**[15:50] DC**
That's what the coup is for, isn't it?
**[15:54] DC**
If so, we haven't much to offer,
**[15:58] DC**
but here is a cigarette.
**[16:03] Ro**
I hope the district residents
**[16:06] Ro**
can someday lead lives that let them
see the sky when they want,
**[16:10] Ro**
but look as cheerful as they do now.
**[16:14] Ro**
Deputy Chief,
**[16:16] Ro**
what will you do?
**[16:21] J**
I wonder...
**[16:25] O**
You must be tired from the trip, Jean.
**[16:27] O**
When is the next one?
**[16:30] J**
Two days from now.
**[16:31] O**
Oh, right...
**[16:32] O**
You have to finish everything
**[16:35] O**
before the centennial ceremony.
**[16:38] J**
It's all good.
**[16:39] J**
It seems the ceremony
will be pretty grand.
**[16:41] O**
Yes.
**[16:42] J**
The king will attend, as well.
**[16:45] O**
That reminds me, Jean.
**[16:47] O**
When you get home, make time
to talk to Miss Lotta.
**[16:51] O**
Though you may often talk,
**[16:54] O**
without my having to say such things.
**[16:57] J**
Has something happened?
**[17:04] L**
You're okay with herbal tea, aren't you?
**[17:06] J**
Thanks.
**[17:10] J**
Can you tell me what happened
**[17:13] J**
while I was gone?
**[17:16] L**
Okay.
**[17:22] M**
* Today, of all days, I suppose*
* he wouldn't come.*
**[17:24] M**
*If he reports in, it'll be tomorrow.*
**[17:29] Poch**
Director-General...
**[17:30] M**
Oh, hello.
**[17:31] Poch**
What a coincidence.
**[17:32] Poch**
Well, I'm totally addicted to
the sandwich bread here.
**[17:37] Poch**
Oh, this is new.
**[17:40] Staff**
Please try it.
**[17:42] Poch**
Delicious!
**[17:43] Poch**
I'll have some of this.
**[17:44] Poch**
This one is new, too...
**[17:48] M**
It's me.
**[17:50] M**
Understood.
**[17:51] M**
I'll be right there.
**[17:53] Poch**
An emergency?
**[17:54] M**
Yes.
**[17:55] M**
ACCA command is in uproar tonight.
**[18:01] J**
I see.
**[18:03] J**
That must have been scary.
**[18:05] J**
I'm sorry I couldn't be here.
**[18:07] L**
No, it isn't your fault.
**[18:10] L**
You had work.
**[18:13] J**
I'm glad you're okay.
**[18:15] J**
I'll have to thank the department chief.
**[18:18] J**
And Agent Rail, too.
**[18:20] L**
Jean,
**[18:22] L**
was Mom royalty?
**[18:26] J**
Apparently.
**[18:27] J**
I only heard recently, too.
**[18:30] J**
From Nino.
**[18:32] J**
Lotta,
**[18:33] J**
Nino serves Dōwā's royal family.
**[18:37] J**
He's been watching over us
**[18:39] J**
under orders from the Privy
Council president.
**[18:43] L**
I see.
**[18:44] L**
Actually, I was thinking there
was something up with him.
**[18:48] L**
You know, I once told him that
I was going to marry him.
**[18:53] L**
A really long time ago.
**[18:54] L**
But then, Nino got all serious
**[18:59] L**
and said he couldn't do that...
**[19:02] L**
Even though I was just a kid, I knew
there was something up with him.
**[19:08] L**
So I'm not surprised.
**[19:09] L**
Even though we know the truth,
**[19:11] L**
it won't change things with Nino, will it?
**[19:16] J**
I'm not sure about that...
**[19:19] J**
Let's go out to eat.
**[19:21] L**
Okay, I'll get ready.
**[19:26] News**
*We interrupt this broadcast*
**[19:27] News**

**[19:48] Mob**
Yes, immediately.
**[19:50] Pastis**
There's no point in panicking.
**[19:53] Lilium**
Indeed.
**[19:54] Lilium**
Right now, we can only
wait for news to come.
**[19:57] Lilium**
More importantly,
**[19:58] Lilium**
what we should hasten to discuss
**[20:01] Lilium**
concerns the plan.
**[20:03] Lilium**
I was just discussing it with
Chief Officer Grossular.
**[20:08] Gro**
Indeed.
**[20:09] Pine**
True,
**[20:10] Pine**
His Majesty may abdicate.
**[20:15] Spade**
And that idiot prince may
ascend the throne.
**[20:17] Pastic**
Oh?
**[20:18] Pastic**
Wouldn't we trigger the
coup d'état before that?
**[20:21] Spade**
But we have limited time.
**[20:24] Spade**
Before we can refine the plan,
**[20:26] Spade**
we must deal with ACCA's
centennial ceremony.
**[20:30] Spade**
Important figures will arrive
from every district.
**[20:33] Spade**
We can't change our plans now.
**[20:36] Spade**
We can only pray that
His Majesty pulls through.
**[20:39] Lilium**
The anniversary ceremony...
**[20:42] Lilium**
Couldn't we use it to our advantage?
***SIGN*** Director-General's Office
**[20:50] Poch**
Oh, Chief Officer Grossular!
**[20:52] Gro**
Excuse the intrusion.
**[20:53] Gro**
May I have a word with
Director-General Mauve?
**[20:56] M**
I would have come to you,
if you had only asked.
**[21:01] Gro**
It's fine.
**[21:03] Gro**
Have you spoken with Otus?
**[21:06] M**
No.
**[21:07] Gro**
Didn't you order him to report to
you about each district's status?
**[21:11] M**
Yes.
**[21:12] M**
He didn't show up today.
**[21:15] Gro**
I see.
**[21:16] M**
Otus leaves for his final audit,
in Furawau District,
**[21:19] M**
the day after tomorrow.
**[21:21] Gro**
If he continues to fail to report in,
**[21:25] Gro**
what do you think his reasons may be?
**[21:28] M**
I doubt he has forgotten.
**[21:31] M**
He may simply be busy.
**[21:34] M**
Or he may have a specific reason.
**[21:39] Gro**
I will wait for your report.
**[21:41] M**
Understood.
**[21:45] Princess**
Should Father pass away,
**[21:49] Princess**
Schwan will take the throne!
**[21:51] Princess**
And that isn't all...
**[21:53] Princess**
Keep in mind Schnee's children in Bādon.
**[21:56] Princess**
Especially the man who was absent
during the previous attempt.
**[22:00] Princess**
There can be no further mistakes.
**[22:03] Princess**
End them, without fail.

***SIGN*** Furawau District, District Office
**[00:03] LilLBro**
It is an honor to receive someone
of royal blood in our district.
**[00:08] LilLBro**
This is a glorious day for
the Lilium family.
**[00:11] LilLBro**
Wouldn't you agree, Brother?
**[00:13] LilBro**
Indeed.
**[00:19] J**
Um,
**[00:20] J**
I've come here as part of my duties for
the ACCA Inspection Department.
**[00:26] LilBro**
So you must go to work, then.
**[00:29] J**
My subordinates are waiting.
**[00:31] LilBro**
At least have some tea.
**[00:33] LilBro**
It's herbal tea, made from
flowers grown in Furawau.
**[00:39] J**
There really are a lot of flowers
blooming here. It's beautiful.
**[00:42] LilBro**
They are our district's pride and joy.
**[00:45] LilBro**
Furawau is a beautiful place,
where many flowers bloom.
**[00:50] LilBro**
Our people are the same way.
**[00:52] LilBro**
The residents are just like those
flowers, cheerful and elegant.
**[00:57] J**
The Furawau District councilor
also seems quite cheerful.
**[01:00] J**
Is he family?
**[01:03] LilBro**
He is a good subordinate.
**[01:07] J**
The district chief seems more relaxed
**[01:10] J**
than he does when I've seen him in Bādon.
**[01:12] LilBro**
I'm sure it has to do with being here.
**[01:14] J**
When he's home, does Chief Officer
Lilium change, as well?
**[01:18] LilBro**
Hmm, I'm not sure about him.
**[01:21] LilLBro**
He takes things so seriously.
**[01:24] LilBro**
He stands out from the siblings.
**[01:26] LilBro**
There is a different air about him.
**[01:29] LilBro**
He chose to leave for the capital himself.
**[01:32] LilBro**
But he cares about this nation
more than any among us.
**[01:38] Canary**
Thank you for coming out here.
**[01:40] J**
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
***SIGN*** ACCA Inspection Department Furawau Branch Supervisor Canary
**[01:44] Canary**
Oh, it was fine.
**[03:30] J**
*The residents look really upbeat,*
**[03:33] J**
*but it's more a show of bravado than cheer.*
**[03:37] J**
*It's different than what I saw in Pranetta.*
**[03:41] Canary**
Is something wrong?
**[03:43] J**
You really fit in here.
**[03:44] Canary**
Oh?
**[03:45] J**
You're always smiling.
**[03:47] Canary**
Probably from spending time in a
place with flowers everywhere.
**[03:51] Canary**
It makes you feel peaceful.
**[03:55] J**
* Yakkara is to be his next assignment.*
* I wonder if he'll be okay.*
**[04:04] Assassins**
This way!
**[04:08] Assassins**
Where is the target now?
**[04:10] Assassins**
Dining at the district chief's estate.
**[04:12] Assassins**
He may stay the night, rather than
return to his hotel.
**[04:17] Assassins**
Then, we haven't time to try to
lure him to an isolated spot.
**[04:21] Assassins**
Right, we don't know when
we might be interrupted.
**[04:24] Assassins**
We mustn't overlook any opportunities.
**[04:27] Assassins**
There can be no more mistakes!
**[04:33] LilLBro**
Where were you before?
**[04:35] J**
Pranetta.
**[04:37] LilBro**
Ah, right next door, then.
**[04:39] J**
Next door, but the scenery
is completely different.
**[04:43] LilBro**
Even in Furawau District, the area
bordering Pranetta is desert.
**[04:48] LilBro**
Once you're out that far, nothing
worthwhile can be mined there.
**[04:53] LilBro**
Most likely, resources are concentrated
in the southwest, under the seabed.
**[04:58] LilLBro**
I can offer only my sincere condolences
to Pranetta's citizens.
**[05:03] LilLBro**
Had the central council's budget been
allocated to improve their cities,
**[05:07] LilLBro**
by now, Pranetta would have
become friendlier to live in.
**[05:10] LilBro**
Perhaps it was their leaders' arrogance.
**[05:13] J**
No, I believe all the residents
wanted the same thing.
**[05:16] LilBro**
I see.
**[05:18] LilBro**
There is something all Furawau
residents desire, as well.
**[05:23] J**
What would that be?
**[05:26] LilBro**
More than ninety percent of all
oil distributed to the districts
**[05:30] LilBro**
is produced in Furawau.
**[05:33] LilBro**
What our residents want
**[05:36] LilBro**
is the practical use of our resources.
**[05:40] LilBro**
For us, supporting the nation
of Dōwā is a point of pride.
***SIGN*** If we do find resources,
***SIGN*** of course we'd want to share them with the districts.
***SIGN*** But seizure against our will would cause hardships.
***SIGN*** Furawau's resources were flowing to Dōwā Kingdom before
***SIGN*** the founding of our current political system.
***SIGN*** In a way, their resources were taken from them.
***SIGN*** Are they satisfied with what happened?
**[06:12] LilLBro**
Well, District Chief...
**[06:13] LilLBro**
Perhaps it is time to give it to him?
**[06:16] LilBro**
Are you finished with your meal?
**[06:19] J**
Yes.
**[06:20] LilBro**
Then, let us change venues.
**[06:31] J**
Furawau is leading the coup d'état, isn't it?
**[06:35] LilBro**
It is my understanding that
you will rise up with us?
**[06:45] Assassins**
Okay, there's the car.
**[06:47] Assassins**
It's back.
**[06:49] Assassins**
Let's go when he exits the vehicle.
**[06:51] Assassins**
If we fail, our lives are forfeit!
**[06:56] Assassins**
We'll place our bets on killing
him and making it out alive.
**[07:02] Assassins**
There's someone in the way...
**[07:03] Assassins**
Just shoot!
**[07:04] Assassins**
We can't avoid collateral damage!
**[07:07] Assassins**
Kill him now.
**[07:17] N**
Jean!
**[07:31] J**
Nino!
**[07:32] Canary**
He's been shot...
**[07:34] Canary**
Get him to the hospital now!
**[07:35] Staff**
We must first contact the branch
chief and request instructions.
**[07:38] Canary**
That can wait!
**[07:39] Canary**
There's no time to lose!
**[07:41] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[07:45] Canary**
Why?
**[07:47] Canary**
You were targeted, Deputy Chief.
**[07:50] Canary**
Why do we have to keep this a secret?
**[07:55] J**
We have no choice.
**[07:56] J**
It was the district chief's decision.
**[07:58] J**
I'm sure he had his reasons.
**[08:02] Nurse**
The patient's awake.
**[08:08] J**
Talk about the devil's luck.
**[08:11] J**
If it had been the group
that attacked Lotta...
**[08:14] J**
It must have been the Dōwā family again.
**[08:17] N**
Yeah.
**[08:18] J**
I was told the attackers killed themselves.
**[08:21] N**
There must be more than two.
**[08:22] N**
I wonder if they got away.
**[08:25] J**
Maybe.
**[08:27] N**
This is my first time here...
**[08:29] N**
For some reason, my supervisor
never let me come to Furawau.
**[08:35] N**
This time,
**[08:37] N**
due to the Five Chief Officers' orders to
**[08:39] N**
ACCA Agent Crow, I was allowed to come.
**[08:42] N**
I even followed the directive
not to harm anyone
**[08:45] N**
affiliated with the Dōwā family.
**[08:47] N**
I'm sure I'll be praised for my actions.
**[08:50] J**
You're talkative today.
**[08:52] N**
Hey, Jean...
**[08:54] N**
These days, when I look at you,
**[08:57] N**
I can't tell if you're getting
dragged into things,
**[09:01] N**
or if you're prying into the whole mess.
**[09:04] N**
I won't tell you what to do.
**[09:06] N**
My job is simply to watch over you.
**[09:11] J**
To watch over me?
**[09:13] J**
You should stop already, Nino.
**[09:16] J**
You don't exist to serve the Dōwā family.
**[09:20] J**
Neither Lotta nor I want that.
**[09:30] LilBro**
Jean, I'm glad you are all right.
**[09:33] J**
I was hoping to avoid being
dragged into royal politics.
**[09:38] J**
But the people wouldn't
want ACCA to disband.
**[09:43] J**
I'll accept your earlier offer.
**[09:47] LilBro**
Now that His Majesty has collapsed,
**[09:49] LilBro**
time is of the essence.
**[09:52] LilBro**
Once you return to Bādon, please meet
with our younger brother.
**[09:57] Sch**
Me, go to Bādon?
**[10:00] Sch**
I refuse.
**[10:01] Magie**
As successor to the throne,
**[10:04] Magie**
you can attend a national ceremony
His Majesty was meant to attend.
**[10:10] Sch**
What's the occasion, anyway?
**[10:12] Magie**
ACCA's centennial anniversary.
**[10:17] Sch**
There will be no scheduled meetings.
**[10:19] Sch**
I shall attend the ceremony
and depart right after!
**[10:22] Magie**
In Bādon, I'll be able to serve you
authentic sandwich bread.
**[10:28] Sch**
I don't want any!
**[10:56] Lil**
I heard that Crow protected you.
**[10:59] Lil**
How is he?
**[11:01] J**
He'll remain in Furawau until he
recovers from his injuries.
**[11:05] J**
If he wants to, that is.
**[11:07] Lil**
I see.
**[11:09] Lil**
I've heard he may have
other responsibilities.
**[11:12] Lil**
I shall not pry, though.
**[11:15] Lil**
Either way, I am glad to hear that
you have come to a resolve.
**[11:21] Lil**
How many cigarettes have you accepted?
**[11:24] Lil**
I spread word that
**[11:26] Lil**
intent to join the coup would be indicated
by handing a cigarette to the "heir."
**[11:31] Lil**
So thirteen...
**[11:33] Lil**
Even Dōwā District gave you one.
**[11:34] J**
The branch chief probably decided.
**[11:37] J**
I doubt the Privy Council's
president is involved.
**[11:40] Lil**
We won't know until the
day of the ceremony,
**[11:44] Lil**
when we see how many guards
are with His Highness.
**[11:47] Lil**
What do you think?
**[11:49] Lil**
Everyone is longing for you
**[11:51] Lil**
to ascend the throne.
**[11:54] J**
It doesn't even have to be me,
as long as it isn't the prince.
**[11:58] Lil**
But it does have to be you.
**[12:00] Lil**
It is only you
**[12:02] Lil**
who can protect ACCA and the people.
**[12:06] Lil**
If we ensure the coup's success and
put you on this nation's throne,
**[12:11] Lil**
the people can continue living
their lives as before.
**[12:16] Lil**
But first, a successful coup.
**[12:20] Lil**
You needn't worry.
**[12:22] Lil**
You have us.
**[12:25] Lil**
You needn't worry.
**[12:29] J**
Sorry for asking you to look after Lotta.
**[12:33] R**
It's no big deal.
**[12:35] R**
But I was surprised when you
asked, out of the blue.
**[12:40] J**
Could you look after Lotta
while I'm in Furawau?
**[12:44] R**
Huh?
**[12:46] R**
Nothing happened on our end.
**[12:49] J**
Thanks.
**[12:51] R**
What will you do?
**[12:52] J**
Hmm?
**[12:53] R**
You're of royal blood, right?
**[12:58] R**
You're older than that idiot prince.
**[13:00] R**
Maybe you can sit on that throne.
**[13:03] J**
And if I do?
**[13:05] R**
Maybe you'll be better than that idiot.
**[13:08] J**
Huh...
**[13:09] J**
Then, maybe I will.

**[14:04] Atri**
Hare and Fāmasu are both faraway districts!
**[14:07] Sandpiper**
In Suitsu, just leaving takes a long time.
**[14:09] Grus**
You let your hair grow out.

Hi!

Hi, all.

Pulse! Eider!

Hey, Eider! I've been waiting

**[14:19] Passer**
Come here.
**[14:22] Eider**
What's this about?
**[14:23] Passer**
Eider, do you have feelings
for the deputy chief?
**[14:26] Eider**
Huh?
**[14:27] Eider**
Th-That isn't—
**[14:28] Keli**
Why bother trying to pretend otherwise?
**[14:30] Moz**
You visited, just to try to see him.
**[14:32] Eider**
Sure, that did happen before,

You're dating Agent Grus?
**[14:47] Eider**
Um, he was a really good listener.

And um, one thing led to another,

and yes...
**[14:54] Passer**

Well, well, Agent Grus.
**[15:00] Grus**
Oh, please.
**[15:01] Grus**
After our next assignments, I do
hope we'll be a little closer.
**[15:05] Falco**
Speaking of assignments,
**[15:07] Falco**
maybe the deputy chief position
will open up soon.
**[15:10] Falco**
Then Warbler will become deputy chief...
**[15:13] Falco**
There will also be fluctuations
amongst the leadership,
**[15:17] Falco**
including demotions.
**[15:19] Falco**
Not to mention, a coup.
**[15:23] Falco**
Huh?
**[15:24] Atri**
Don't! We can't talk about it!
**[15:26] Falco**
Huh?
**[15:26] Falco**
But it's going to happen, right?
**[15:28] Keli**
Well, sure, but...
**[15:31] Warbler**
What are we talking about?
**[15:33] Warbler**
A coup d'état?
**[15:34] Falco**
See, being in Suitsu leaves
you behind on the news.
**[15:39] Falco**
Maybe Warbler won't be able to handle
being the new deputy chief.
**[15:43] Sandpiper**
Then, maybe it'll be me.
**[15:45] Sandpiper**
I'm the smart one, after all.
**[15:47] Warbler**
Knot, what's this about a coup?
***SIGN*** Meeting Room
**[15:52] Warbler**
ACCA? Leading a coup?
**[15:55] Knot**
Yes.
**[15:56] Knot**
To avoid chaos, ACCA will lead it
in conjunction with the districts.
**[16:00] Warbler**
Wait a minute.
**[16:02] Warbler**
For what reason?
**[16:03] Knot**
To protect ACCA, or so they say.
**[16:08] Knot**
Prince Schwan has stated he'll
disband ACCA when he ascends.
**[16:12] Knot**
By pulling off a coup, ACCA will prevent that.
**[16:17] Knot**
If ACCA survives, the citizens'
lives will be protected.
**[16:21] Knot**
That about sums up the rationale.
**[16:24] Warbler**
But how do you make the
logical leap to a coup?
**[16:28] Warbler**
No one thinks it's odd?
**[16:30] Owl**
Warbler, if I may?
**[16:34] Warbler**
Chief...
**[16:37] Owl**
The Five Chief Officers
**[16:38] Owl**
and the director-general have made
their decisions on this matter.
**[16:43] Owl**
A coup is going to happen
in the near future.
**[16:45] Owl**
Given that, ACCA should be at the
helm, to prevent utter chaos.
**[16:50] Owl**
That's their line of thought.
**[16:53] Warbler**
Going to happen?
**[16:55] Warbler**
Impossible.
**[16:56] Warbler**
Each of the thirteen districts
may have complaints,
**[16:59] Warbler**
but they'd see far greater benefits
to being under Dōwā family rule.
**[17:05] Warbler**
Even the talk about disbanding ACCA
is only coming from the prince.
**[17:10] Warbler**
He may be a fool, but will he be a dictator?
**[17:13] Warbler**
It's more likely that he'll just
follow the Privy Council!
**[17:17] Warbler**
The Dōwā royal family is aware of
how much power they're worth.
**[17:22] Warbler**
They wouldn't try
**[17:23] Warbler**
an autocratic rule now and risk
breaking the current system!
**[17:28] Warbler**
I doubt "protecting ACCA" would
withstand scrutiny as a rationale.
**[17:32] Owl**
We can't be sure he won't disband ACCA.
**[17:35] Owl**
Nothing is more frightening than
having a fool of a ruler
**[17:38] Owl**
who wouldn't think twice of tightening
the noose around his own neck...
**[17:44] Owl**
ACCA needs to persevere.
**[17:47] Owl**
That is what the people want.
**[17:50] Warbler**
You're too biased toward ACCA.

**[17:53] Warbler**
Everyone has gone mad!
**[17:56] M**
You haven't gone to buy
sandwich bread lately.
**[18:00] J**
I don't think so, no.
**[18:02] J**
Evidently, the cigarettes I was getting
**[18:04] J**
indicated the districts' willingness
to participate in the coup.
**[18:08] M**
I've heard there were thirteen.
**[18:11] M**
The Five Chief Officers told me that.
**[18:13] J**
I informed Chief Officer Lilium of this, yes.
**[18:17] M**
Before informing me, I see...
**[18:21] M**
What were you instructed to do?
**[18:23] J**
"Instructed" may not be the word.
**[18:26] M**
I see.
**[18:28] M**
You needn't report to me anymore.
**[18:31] J**
Excuse me.
**[18:35] M**
Otus...
**[18:37] M**
You're all right, aren't you?
**[18:39] J**
Yes.
**[18:47] J**
Warbler?
**[18:49] Warbler**
So, the pro-coup faction wants
you to be the next king?
**[18:55] Warbler**
If we're pitting the king's grandchildren
against each other,
**[18:59] Warbler**
the unpopular Prince Schwan loses
to you, the one with ACCA,
**[19:02] Warbler**
the people's pride and joy.
**[19:03] Warbler**
Unless the Privy Council intervenes,
there are no roadblocks.
**[19:07] Warbler**
The coup will occur without objection.
**[19:10] Warbler**
You'll go along with this.
**[19:13] Warbler**
You aren't even interested
in the throne, are you?
**[19:15] Warbler**
Is it for ACCA?
**[19:17] Warbler**
You don't find this ludicrous?
**[19:19] J**
I'd really like you to take my post...
**[19:24] J**
But there needs to be one final push.
**[19:30] J**
The prince is a real headache, you know.
**[19:39] Magie**
By the way, Your Highness.
**[19:40] Magie**
Are you sure you shouldn't
see your cousin?
**[19:43] Sch**
My cousin?
**[19:44] Magie**
Yes, the one in Bādon.
**[19:46] Sch**
I only have cousins in Dōwā!
**[19:49] Sch**
I see.
**[19:50] Sch**
So he survived.
**[19:52] Magie**
You're still pretending ignorance?
**[19:54] Sch**
Who cares?!
**[19:55] Sch**
Who cares if he lives or dies?
**[19:57] Sch**
It doesn't matter to me!
**[20:00] Magie**
Your Highness, perhaps you should
**[20:02] Magie**
show more interest in the
people and the nation.
**[20:07] Magie**
Try to be liked by your relatives, at least.
**[20:09] Sch**
If you want to distance us, go ahead!
**[20:12] Sch**
It isn't like you're even useful!
**[20:16] Sch**
I'm not talking about you!
**[20:18] Magie**
I understand.
**[20:24] Sch**
It doesn't matter...
**[20:26] Sch**
I'm going to be the king of Dōwā.

*Important district figures

Huh? Magie?!

*He did not seem fatigued by his journey,*

He was one of the Dōwā

Tonight is the final meeting with
various district representatives.
**[20:53] Lil**
The coup will succeed,
**[20:55] Lil**
and Otus will become the new king.
**[20:59] Lil**
Tomorrow is the day on which we finally
see the bright, shining future.
**[21:03] Lil**
The Lilium family has waited
a very long time for this.
**[21:11] Gro**
You said, "The Lilium family."
**[21:16] Lil**
I did.
**[21:19] Lil**
You have also been waiting for this.
**[21:21] Lil**
Everyone has.
**[21:23] Lil**
Am I wrong?
**[21:25] Gro**
That's enough.
**[21:26] Gro**
Just tell it like it is.
**[21:29] Lil**
Put Otus in power.
**[21:31] Lil**
Then control Otus, to control the nation.
**[21:35] Lil**
By the time anyone notices,
Furawau will have total control,
**[21:38] Lil**
and everyone will have to accept
it as the new reality.
**[21:43] Lil**
That's right... Just as you are doing now.
**[21:47] Lil**
Though people know things
cannot continue this way,
**[21:50] Lil**
why are they unable to resist?
**[21:54] Lil**
Because they stand against the Lilium
family of Furawau nation.
**[22:02] M**
You are not joining the meeting?
**[22:06] ---**
No.
**[22:08] M**
Otus appears to be meeting privately
with Chief Officer Lilium.
**[22:12] Gro**
So it seems.
**[22:14] M**
Chief Officer...

Are you all right?

Yes.

**[00:01] King**
Has Schwan left?
**[00:04] Q**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[00:05] King**
It's cruel to do to that child,
but we have no choice.
**[00:08] Q**
I regret that this is the only way
to protect the kingdom.
**[00:14] King**
The fault for spoiling him is ours,
mine and my daughter's.
**[00:19] King**
You have served the house of Dōwā
to the best of your ability.
**[00:23] King**
Thank you
**[00:24] King**
for allowing me to meet Schnee's
children while I still live.
**[00:28] King**
He is like me.
**[00:31] Q**
You will see them again, Your Majesty.
**[00:33] Q**
Here in Dōwā, in this room.
**[00:39] Lilium**
Due to ill health, Chief Officer Grossular,
**[00:42] Lilium**
who is spearheading the plan,
**[00:44] Lilium**
could not attend, so I shall coordinate.
**[00:48] Lilium**
This will be our final meeting
before we proceed.
**[00:51] Lilium**
I'd like to confirm we're on the same page
about what will happen tomorrow.
**[00:55] Lilium**
Today, we also have Prince Jean with us.
**[00:59] Lilium**
Now, the fate of ACCA
**[01:01] Lilium**
and the thirteen territories
rests upon this coup.
**[01:04] Lilium**
We cannot alter the plan,
**[01:06] Lilium**
but we can still cancel it.
**[01:10] Lilium**
No one here, sharing our goals,
wishes to do so, yes?
**[01:15] Lilium**
Very well, let us proceed
with final confirmation.
**[01:19] Cop**
Your role, as patrolling beat cops,
**[01:22] Cop**
is crowd control, in case of chaos.
**[01:24] Guy**
We're really going ahead with this.
**[01:26] Cops**
I think we'll succeed, though.
**[01:28] Cops**
I hear the prince will only have
around fifteen guards.
**[01:32] Cops**
They say the Privy Council knows of the
coup and doesn't support the prince.
**[01:36] Cops**
But who'll become king instead?
**[01:37] Cops**
If the replacement wants to
abolish ACCA, what then?
**[01:40] Cops**
You have a point...
**[01:43] R**
* When will they announce that the*
* Otus family has royal blood?*
**[01:47] R**
*I wonder if Lotta's doing okay.*
**[01:49] R**
* When the press rushes over,*
* I'll protect her from them.*
**[01:53] J**
If I may?
**[01:56] J**
The plan calls for the prince
to swear an oath to
**[02:00] J**
concede his claim, right after
he's been taken into custody.
**[02:03] J**
But couldn't that wait till later?
**[02:06] J**
I mean,
**[02:07] J**
I don't think I should force my way
to center stage tomorrow.
**[02:11] J**
I feel that will make the prince stubborn.
**[02:15] J**
I worry that things won't go smoothly.
**[02:19] Pine**
You may be right.
**[02:22] Pastis**
It's His Highness, after all.
**[02:24] J**
So when you speak to
the prince tomorrow,
**[02:27] J**
I'll leave it up to you, Chief Officers.
**[02:29] J**
Once we reach an agreement
with the prince,
**[02:31] J**
please delay announcing my royal lineage
**[02:35] J**
until a later date.
**[02:37] Lilium**
Then, let us do that.
**[02:39] Lilium**
Is everyone else in agreement?
**[02:42] J**
I believe this will be a success.
**[02:51] J**
That's tomorrow's schedule, isn't it?
**[02:55] Gro**
Are you all right with this?
**[02:57] J**
Please don't look at me like that.
**[03:01] J**
What do you think would
be best for this nation?
**[03:06] J**
I've always wanted to talk to you
about this, Chief Officer.
**[03:09] J**
About ACCA and this nation.
**[03:12] Gro**
Even if we talked until dawn,
it wouldn't be enough.
**[03:19] Magie**
Yes, Commander. We are fine here.
**[03:22] Magie**
The prince is sulking a bit,
but that is his fault.
**[03:26] Mond**
* You're rather harsh toward*
* your master, Magie.*
**[03:29] Magie**
But I do wonder whether
we have enough guards.
**[03:32] Mond**
*His Highness did not want them.*
**[03:34] Mond**
* He said there was no need to*
* arrange theatrics for ACCA.*
**[03:37] Mond**
*The Privy Council president approved it.*
**[03:42] Sch**
I thought you were going to serve
me sandwich bread, Magie.
**[03:48] N**
Something's different...
**[03:50] N**
I can sense the tension in the air,
even so early in the morning.
**[03:54] Abend**
*How are you feeling?*
**[03:56] N**
I'm fine.
**[03:58] N**
At the least, I can protect
Lotta from the crowd.
**[04:02] N**
Jean should be safe, as well.
**[04:04] N**
He's under ACCA's protection.
**[04:06] N**
I'm just not that worried
in general, I suppose.
**[04:10] N**
I wonder why.
**[04:12] J**
You should stop already, Nino.
**[04:15] J**
You don't exist to serve the Dōwā family.
**[04:19] N**
I'm doing this because I choose to.
**[04:22] J**
Then stop saying things like,
"I'm not supposed to have fun."
**[04:28] J**
I've always had fun.
**[04:30] J**
Even now.
**[04:33] J**
Maybe I'll get scolded for that, too.
**[04:37] N**
Perhaps because it's about Jean...
**[04:40] Lil**
Well, it's time.
**[04:45] J**
Yes.
**[05:00] L**
Huh?
**[05:01] L**
Jean's all the way up there.
**[05:05] People**
It's the prince!
**[05:23] Sch**
What's the schedule?
**[05:25] Magie**
After the anthem, the chief officers
and the director-general
**[05:27] Magie**
will address the crowd,
**[05:29] Magie**
followed by Your Highness's
speech and then—
**[05:31] Sch**
I don't care what follows.
**[05:34] J**
*The only ones here*
**[05:36] J**
*oblivious to the coup d'état are*
**[05:39] J**
*the prince and his people.*
**[06:22] Sch**
What's the meaning of this?
**[06:24] Sch**
How dare you treat me in this manner?!
**[06:31] Lil**
It is to protect ACCA and the nation
**[06:35] Lil**
from the heir who wishes
to disband ACCA.
**[06:41] Lil**
We are not the only ones.
**[06:43] Lil**
I doubt anyone wants you
to ascend to the throne,
**[06:47] Lil**
not even the Dōwā family.
**[06:50] Crowd**
What's going on?
**[06:50] Crowd**
Disband ACCA?
**[06:52] Crowd**
The prince isn't thinking about the nation.
**[06:54] Crowd**
If one like that is king, there'll be war.
**[06:57] Crowd**
I'm against his ascension!
**[06:58] Crowd**
Not my king! Not my king!
**[07:02] Sch**
It's the ACCA coup I've heard about.
**[07:05] Sch**
They seek to ruin me,
**[07:07] Sch**
and put another on the throne.
**[07:11] Sch**
Someone who will protect ACCA.
**[07:15] Sch**
Why are you over there?
**[07:17] Sch**
Why will you not step forward?!
**[07:21] L**
Jean...
**[07:33] M**
Silence!
**[07:38] M**
In this nation,
**[07:39] M**
there is but one prince,
Your Highness Prince Schwan.
**[07:44] M**
Please refrain from referencing
wild speculation.
**[07:48] M**
ACCA will protect the nation.
**[07:51] M**
It is the same as protecting the Dōwā
family, the nation's symbol.
**[07:55] M**
The nation has enjoyed constant
development and prosperity
**[07:58] M**
under Dōwā family rule.
**[08:01] M**
The Dōwā family's continued peace
**[08:03] M**
assures peace for this nation, in turn.
**[08:06] LilLBro**
I do not believe this was
a part of the schedule.
**[08:10] M**
We would like you, the family heir,
**[08:12] M**
to take better care of yourself.
**[08:16] M**
We are honored that
ACCA has your trust.
**[08:20] M**
However, we would still prefer
that you not attend functions
**[08:24] M**
with such a small guard detail.
**[08:28] M**
We understand, of course, that your
guards are highly trained elites.
**[08:32] M**
But we wished for you to realize that,
**[08:36] M**
as you just experienced, a gun may
**[08:38] M**
be pointed at one any time.
**[08:40] M**
To that end,
**[08:42] M**
we incorporated a highly theatrical
exercise into the ceremony itself.
**[08:48] M**
Please forgive our insolence.
**[08:50] M**
Your thoughtfulness in avoiding
a brazen show of power will
**[08:54] M**
surely be admired by the people.
**[08:56] M**
The Dōwā family avoids conflict.
**[08:59] M**
That is why we have peace.
**[09:01] M**
Rulers who favor shows of power
will not bring peace to the nation.
**[09:06] M**
That is why the Dōwā family
symbolizes peace.
**[09:09] M**
Under the Dōwā family, ACCA will
continue to protect the nation.
**[09:14] M**
We entrust the future
to you, Your Highness.
**[09:29] Sch**
I would like ACCA
**[09:31] Sch**
to safeguard the nation for posterity.
**[09:39] Magie**
Your Highness, your hand.
**[09:44] M**
Thank you, Your Highness.
**[10:03] L**
Nino?
**[10:05] LilLBro**
This is...
**[10:07] LilBro**
It seems that Furawau alone
**[10:10] LilBro**
was not informed of this farce.
**[10:13] Spade**
Evidently, you relied on trickery too
much to win such a major wager.
**[10:18] Spade**
Will Furawau continue the game?
**[10:23] L**
You were involved, too.
**[10:28] L**
Then, it was you?
**[10:33] J**
Once Director-General Mauve
**[10:35] J**
told me about my royal heritage,
**[10:38] J**
we strategized in Kororē,
to prepare for today.
**[10:42] J**
So that your game would
become ACCA's game.
**[10:46] J**
And now, we've won.
**[10:48] J**
In this game, a win for
Furawau would look
**[10:52] J**
different than a win for ACCA.
**[10:54] J**
For us, a win is to have ACCA's
continued existence assured.
**[10:59] J**
But for you and Furawau,
that wasn't the case.
**[11:04] J**
ACCA's preservation was mere
pretext and justification.
**[11:07] J**
Your true win would be for you to
usurp the Dōwā family's position.
**[11:11] J**
Fear that local autonomy
would fall with ACCA
**[11:14] J**
bred self-preservation in each district.
**[11:17] J**
If you could take advantage of it,
**[11:19] J**
attainment of your goal
wouldn't be impossible.
**[11:22] J**
But if ACCA won first,
**[11:25] J**
Furawau's game would be
over, then and there.
**[11:29] Lil**
You acted on speculation?
**[11:31] Lil**
No, you didn't.
**[11:35] J**
Director-General Mauve has
**[11:36] J**
conducted a thorough investigation
of Furawau's internal affairs.
**[11:39] J**
She has testimony from the
Furawau representative
**[11:42] J**
in the central council.
**[11:44] Lil**
I knew no one outside the Lilium
family could be trusted.
**[11:49] J**
What will you do now?
**[11:50] J**
Will you still play the game
with another strategy?
**[11:57] Lil**
Furawau will leave the game.
**[12:00] Lil**
The game called "Dōwā Kingdom."
**[12:08] Gro**
This was your feat of strength,
Director-General Mauve.
**[12:12] Gro**
The Five Chief Officers are
no longer needed in ACCA.
**[12:15] Gro**
The five leaders, central to ACCA's
creation a century ago,
**[12:20] Gro**
became its chief officers.
**[12:22] Gro**
We are their remnants.
**[12:24] Gro**
I believe we can abolish the position now.
**[12:29] Gro**
You are the leader.
**[12:34] Gro**
Last night, Otus briefed me on the plan.
**[12:37] Gro**
Today, I was hesitant to stand here
as one of the Five Chief Officers.
**[12:42] Gro**
To me, the thirteen different
uniforms look like
**[12:46] Gro**
the symbol of solidarity now.
**[12:51] Gro**
Thank you.
**[13:11] Cop**
An exercise kept secret, even from us.
**[13:14] Cop**
The director-general is quite the leader.
**[13:18] L**
Jean!
**[13:22] J**
Sorry to worry you, Lotta.
**[13:24] L**
Nino was with me!
**[13:26] L**
But when I looked for him, he was gone.
**[13:29] J**
I see.
**[13:35] L**
Um, thank you for telling
me about the danger
**[13:39] L**
when my life was at risk.
**[13:42] Magie**
I told her.
**[13:45] Sch**
Then you should thank him.
**[13:46] Magie**
Yes, His Highness was worried
about both of you
**[13:49] Magie**
and ordered me to warn you.
**[13:54] Sch**
You both should come to the castle.
**[13:56] Sch**
I'm sure Grandfather would be pleased!
**[14:01] Rocks**
So, in the end, not even their
royal lineage was publicized.
**[14:05] Rocks**
That was well done.
**[14:06] Warbler**
Yeah.
**[14:07] Owl**
So, though matters have been resolved,
**[14:10] Owl**
tensions will remain high in
each branch for a while.
**[14:15] Owl**
We return to our important work
of monitoring each district.
**[14:20] Owl**
First, we have a staff dinner tonight.
**[14:22] Owl**
I'll have your next assignments then.
**[14:25] Sand**
Here it comes.
**[14:26] Passer**
I'm so nervous!
**[14:29] Eider**
Chief, what's in that envelope?
**[14:32] Owl**
Jean's normal transfer request.
**[14:38] Nino**
* For ACCA, the ceremony marked*
* a transition to a new system.*
**[14:44] Nino**
* The positions of the Five Chief*
* Officers were abolished,*
**[14:47] Nino**
* and Director-General Mauve became*
* the highest-ranking official.*
**[14:52] Boy**
Question!
**[14:53] Guide**
Yes, young man?
**[14:54] Boy**
Why does ACCA's symbol
still have a thirteen,
**[14:57] Boy**
even though there are twelve districts?

**[15:38] N**
* applied for residency,*
* to pursue their dreams.*
**[15:41] N**
* In particular, a growing number of*
* young applicants from Yakkara.*
**[15:46] Spade**
Of course you bet on the winning horse.
***SIGN*** Former ACCA Chief Officer
Spade
**[15:48] Spade**
Anyway, I'm retired now...
**[15:51] Spade**
Just an ordinary citizen,
so never mind me.
**[15:55] Nino**
*With ACCA's transition,*
**[15:57] Nino**
* the other chief officers left for*
* their own destinations.*
**[16:03] Pine**
As Jumōku's district chief,
my goal is obvious.
***SIGN*** Jumōku District Chief
Pine
**[16:06] Pine**
To spread our specialty goods
throughout the nation.
**[16:09] Pine**
Naturally, that includes Suitsu.
**[16:11] Nino**
*In Suitsu, for the first time,*
**[16:15] Nino**
* residents will be able to elect*
* their next representative.*
**[16:19] Pastis**
My reasons?
**[16:20] Pastis**
Just look at this beautiful scenery.
***SIGN*** Suitsu District Chief
Pastis
**[16:24] Pastis**
I've realized that all residents love
this beautiful land of Suitsu.
**[16:29] Pastis**
That is all.
**[16:31] Warbler**
Who knew you'd be nominated
for the council?
**[16:35] Biscuit**
Suitsu will change from being
a nation to a district!
**[16:38] N**
*Suitsu's development was*
**[16:40] N**
* welcome news to citizens who were*
* shaken by Furawau's secession.*
**[16:48] LilBro**
So ultimately,
**[16:49] LilBro**
where did the leak regarding
Jean Otus's bloodline originate?
**[16:53] Lil**
Who knows?
**[16:54] Lil**
It doesn't matter now.
**[16:57] Lil**
Nothing to do with the Lilium family.
**[16:59] Lil**
Or with Furawau Kingdom.
**[17:09] Magie**
Your Highness, Miss Lotta
has arrived from Bādon.
**[17:16] L**
This is a present, sandwich bread!
**[17:18] Sch**
I accept.
**[17:19] L**
This is for Magie, from Agent Rail!
**[17:23] L**
You really care for your friends!
**[17:28] L**
Oh, and this is for the first princess,
**[17:31] L**
to thank her for telling me
so much about my mother.
**[17:34] Sch**
She tried to have you killed.
**[17:39] N**
* "Because the first princess*
* apologized," she said.*
**[17:41] N**
* And above all, because*
* she was her mother's older sister.*
**[17:48] Sch**
Grandfather is waiting.
**[17:58] N**
Well done.
**[18:00] Abend**
Everything was Privy Council
President Qualm's orders.
**[18:03] Abend**
We had to eradicate
**[18:05] Abend**
the Lilium family's plots before
Prince Schwan's ascension.
**[18:09] Abend**
Even if that meant involving
the Otus siblings.
**[18:11] Abend**
I would never have conceived
of such a thing.
**[18:14] N**
But you supported his plan
by insisting that Jean
**[18:18] N**
would never want the throne himself.
**[18:22] N**
And for the past six months,
you guided Jean's actions.
**[18:26] N**
In terms of orchestration,
an impressive feat.
**[18:29] Abend**
It was nothing so grand.
**[18:31] Abend**
You know that better than anyone.
**[18:37] Abend**
His Majesty no longer needs photos.
**[18:40] Abend**
You are released from your duties.
**[18:43] Abend**
You are free.
**[18:44] Abend**
Live as you see fit.
**[18:47] N**
I will do so.
**[18:50] Abend**
It's time...
**[18:51] Abend**
I'm leaving.
**[18:52] Abend**
In any case, we'll meet again.
**[18:55] Abend**
After all, you and I will live as we want.
**[19:08] Driver**
Where to?
**[19:10] Abend**
To Beak Beauty Salon, in the east sector.
**[19:13] Abend**
Can you make it quick?
**[19:16] Abend**
Dyeing my hair blond is such a hassle.
***SIGN*** Inspection Department
**[19:39] Atri**
Welcome back, Deputy Chief.
**[19:40] Moz**
You must be tired from your trip!
**[19:42] J**
I'm not that tired, actually...
**[19:45] J**
The schedule's relaxed this time of year.
**[19:47] Atri**
Your previous rounds
were just too tough.
**[19:49] Atri**
Is coffee all right?
**[19:50] J**
Sure.
**[19:53] Keri**
Hey, I saw them again in
the downstairs café,
**[19:55] Keri**
Director-General Mauve and
Chief Officer Grossular!
**[19:58] Keri**
Don't you think they're a great pair?
**[19:59] Moz**
I do! They'd be wonderful together!
**[20:05] J**
My parents died in the
Peshi-Rokkusu train accident.
**[20:11] J**
Due to the accident, I once met Chief
Officer Grossular back then.
**[20:17] J**
He came to meet with bereaved families.
**[20:20] J**
He laid a hand on my shoulder,
**[20:22] J**
and looked at me, without a word.
**[20:25] J**
If I really do have royal blood,
**[20:28] J**
I believe the chief officer may have
already known, even back then.
**[20:32] J**
But if he did, he never
spoke of it to anyone.
**[20:37] J**
I think that's the kind of man
Chief Officer Grossular is.
**[20:41] J**
I became interested in ACCA
**[20:44] J**
because I sensed how proud he was of it.
**[20:47] M**
You really like him, don't you?
**[20:52] J**
And in time, another who shared the
chief officer's perspective emerged
**[20:56] J**
and became director-general.
**[21:00] J**
I know my feelings will be unrequited.
**[21:07] M**
You are the same way.
**[21:09] M**
I have boundless respect for
the chief officer, as well.
**[21:19] Atri**
Here.
**[21:22] J**
There's enough for me?
**[21:23] Moz**
Yes.
**[21:24] Moz**
It was for Knot,
**[21:26] Moz**
but he left early.
**[21:27] Keri**
His wife contacted him.
**[21:29] Keri**
He's going to the airport to pick her up!
**[21:32] Keri**
By the way, Deputy Chief,
isn't Lotta traveling now?
**[21:37] Keri**
Have you been eating okay?
**[21:38] Keri**
We can all go out for dinner.
**[21:40] J**
I'm fine.
**[21:42] J**
Even if I were drinking by myself,
**[21:45] J**
my partner in crime would just wander in.
**[23:35] N**
Are you having fun, Jean?
**[23:37] J**
Having fun at prom?
**[23:39] N**
Well, it was all unfortunate...
**[23:41] N**
In many ways.
**[23:42] J**
And why are you ditching the queen?
**[23:44] J**
You were voted prom king, right?
**[23:48] N**
Isn't it hilarious?
**[23:49] N**
It's more suited to you.
**[24:05] J**
We really haven't changed, have we?
