[00:15] Mauve
I expected something to happen...
[00:19] Mauve
But I didn't expect this.
[00:23] Mauve
I just hope it doesn't cause turmoil.
SIGN ACCA First Anniversary
[00:43] TV
With the first anniversary of ACCA's
establishment just around the corner,
[00:47] TV
there's already a festive air in town.
SIGN ACCA's First Anniversary
[00:51] TV
The theme of the ACCA anniversary
festival will be "connection,"
[00:56] TV
and preparations are fast underway for
the opening ceremonies at the main venue.
[01:18] Jean
Sorry for making you come
all the way out here.
[01:22] Jean
I couldn't find the time to visit.
[01:24] Teacher
Oh, think nothing of it.
[01:26] Teacher
I'm sorry for taking up your time.
[01:28] Teacher
ACCA's first anniversary is coming up, isn't it?
[01:32] Jean
I've been busy with this and that.
[01:36] Teacher
Do the two of you live here together?
[01:41] Jean
Yes, I'm the building manager.
[01:46] Jean
Would coffee be all right?
[01:47] Teacher
Oh, you don't have to do that!
[01:51] Jean
Is something going on with Lotta?
[01:54] Jean
That's what you wanted
to discuss, isn't it?
[01:57] Teacher
Yes.
[01:58] Jean
Is it her grades?
Or has she caused a problem?
[02:01] Teacher
No, it's nothing like that.
[02:04] Teacher
Her grades are excellent,
[02:06] Teacher
and her attitude sets an excellent
example for the other students.
[02:10] Teacher
But... that's actually why I've been
concerned about what's come over her lately.
[02:17] Jean
What's come over her?
[02:19] Teacher
Does she ever seem to have
anything on her mind at home?
[02:24] Jean
Nothing comes to mind.
[02:27] Teacher
I see...
[02:29] Teacher
I hope I'm just imagining things.
[02:32] Jean
Are you concerned about something?
[02:34] Teacher
Well...
[02:36] Teacher
I gave my students a free writing
assignment the other day.
[02:40] Teacher
But, well, she's been late in handing it in.
[02:44] Jean
Lotta has?
[02:44] Teacher
I mean, even the most outstanding
students can be late sometimes.
[02:50] Teacher
That's nothing uncommon,
and it's not a particularly big deal.
[02:55] Teacher
It's just that, given the prompt...
[02:58] Jean
What was it?
[03:00] Teacher
"What are your thoughts on
your career path right now?"
[03:19] Jean
Her career path, huh?
[03:22] Teacher
Yes. It's been nagging at me a bit.
[03:25] Teacher
Since the assignment, she's seemed
a little distant and a little absent.
[03:31] Teacher
She hasn't really been herself.
[03:35] Teacher
Still, it's a touchy subject and I didn't
want to nudge her the wrong way.
[03:42] Teacher
So I thought it'd be best
to talk to her family about it.
[03:46] Jean
I see.
[03:48] Teacher
Have you ever discussed
Lotta's future with her?
[03:54] Jean
Now that you mention it,
[03:55] Jean
I don't think we've talked about
anything like that face-to-face.
[04:01] Teacher
I'm thinking I may have
just been worrying too much.
[04:05] Jean
Oh, no. I appreciate you coming to me.
[04:19] Jean
Hello?
[04:20] Jean
Lotta?
[04:21] Lotta
Yeah.
[04:22] Lotta
What's up, Jean?
[04:23] Jean
Nothing in particular.
I was just wondering how Kororē was.
[04:29] Lotta
What do you mean?
[04:30] Jean
This was your first time entering
Dōwā from Kororē, wasn't it?
[04:34] Jean
Was everything all right?
[04:35] Lotta
Why wouldn't it be?
[04:37] Lotta
Everything was totally fine.
[04:39] Lotta
This is my third trip here.
[04:42] Lotta
I'm getting used to traveling, too.
[04:44] Lotta
Oh, I bought tons of chocolate.
[04:47] Lotta
You're gonna love it.
[04:48] Jean
That so?
[04:50] Jean
I'm glad, then.
[04:51] Lotta
Hey, is something wrong, Jean?
[04:55] Jean
Well, your teacher came by to...
[05:00] Lotta
Oh, hang on! Someone's here!
[05:03] Lotta
Coming!
[05:09] Lotta
Sorry, it was Magie.
[05:11] Lotta
Prince Schwan is going
on a walk with the king.
[05:14] Lotta
He's asking if I want to come.
[05:15] Jean
Yeah?
[05:16] Jean
Sounds like the king is doing well.
[05:19] Lotta
Yeah. Really well.
[05:21] Lotta
He said he's looking forward
to the one-year anniversary.
[05:26] Jean
I see.
[05:27] Lotta
I feel bad for leaving
when things are so busy.
[05:33] Jean
Don't worry about it.
[05:34] Lotta
By the way, you were
saying something, weren't you?
[05:38] Lotta
About my teacher.
[05:40] Jean
Oh.
[05:41] Jean
That's okay.
[05:44] Jean
We can talk later.
[05:46] Jean
The king's waiting for you, right?
[05:48] Lotta
I know, but...
[05:50] Lotta
Is it really okay?
[05:52] Jean
Yeah.
[05:53] Lotta
All right.
[05:54] Lotta
Catch you later, then!
[05:56] Jean
Yeah.
[06:05] Jean
Today's shipment is sardines in oil
and fish candy from Peshi.
[06:12] Jean
From Kororē, chocolate liqueur and...
[06:17] Worker
Excuse me.
[06:19] Worker
About the potatoes from Fāmasu District...
[06:22] Worker
There's been a mistake,
and they were shipped by air instead.
[06:27] Jean
I see.
[06:28] Jean
We'll go process the pickup ourselves, then.
[06:31] Parrot
Huh?
SIGN ACCA Headquarters' Inspection Department Rookie
Parrot
[06:38] Jean
Thanks for coming out so early.
[06:40] Parrot
It's totally fine.
[06:42] Parrot
I usually go to the gym before work.
[06:44] Jean
Huh, that's impressive.
[06:46] Jean
I'm already beat.
[06:48] Parrot
In your case, Deputy Chief,
it must be because you smoke.
[06:53] Jean
Could be.
[06:54] Parrot
I never thought the day would come when
I would be in the Inspection Department,
[07:00] Parrot
sorting cargo and going to the
airport to pick up potatoes.
[07:04] Jean
What can we do?
[07:06] Jean
We're desperate for help right now.
[07:10] Pochard
The anniversary festival
is being led by Bādon,
[07:12] Pochard
where ACCA Headquarters is located,
[07:14] Pochard
but the idea is that the other districts
will play a central role, as well.
[07:18] Pochard
Of note are the booths that will be
opening in the festival plaza.
[07:21] Pochard
Each district will be showcasing
local specialties and crafts,
[07:25] Pochard
as well as their traditional culture.
[07:28] Pochard
The districts are all quite eager
[07:30] Pochard
to demonstrate how magnificent they are.
[07:33] Pochard
We want you, the Inspection Department,
[07:35] Pochard
to take on a special assignment
supporting the Administration Department,
[07:38] Pochard
coordinating with local leaders
to manage and direct
[07:43] Pochard
what each of the districts
will be showcasing.
[07:47] Parrot
"Manage and direct" makes it sound nice,
[07:50] Parrot
but we've basically just been handed the
Administration Department's chores.
[07:53] Parrot
Is this really what we should be doing?
[07:56] Jean
It's the perfect job for us, since we're
already familiar with each district.
[08:00] Parrot
But isn't there more important work
for us right now?
[08:04] Jean
I think this is a good thing in the long run.
[08:06] Jean
You never know when
the department's going to get axed.
[08:10] Parrot
Oh yeah, I heard about something like that.
[08:13] Parrot
Someone mentioned it.
[08:15] Jean
So there's no harm in gaining
experience doing different things.
[08:20] Parrot
But I'd like to think that now is exactly when
[08:22] Parrot
the Inspection Department is most important.
[08:26] Jean
What do you mean?
[08:28] Parrot
It's times like these that
surveillance is critical, isn't it?
[08:32] Parrot
Furawau could be hatching a plot
with another district as we speak.
[08:38] Parrot
Those people...
[08:41] Parrot
Everyone's happy about
the new administration,
[08:44] Parrot
but can you tell me how, specifically,
things have gotten better?
[08:50] Parrot
All that's really changed is
[08:52] Parrot
the Five Chief Officers system
getting scrapped
[08:54] Parrot
and Furawau being exposed as dissidents.
[08:57] Parrot
We still don't even know why they separated.
[09:02] Parrot
They vanished in the midst
of the ceremony, too.
[09:07] Parrot
It's only natural to be suspicious.
[09:10] Parrot
Everyone my age in the department is worried
[09:14] Parrot
that Furawau might be up to something.
[09:17] Parrot
This really isn't the time
to be picking up potatoes.
[09:24] Parrot
Are you listening, Deputy Chief?
[09:28] Jean
Parrot, I hear that you admire
District Chief Pine.
[09:33] Parrot
Y-Yes.
[09:34] Parrot
I'm, well...
[09:36] Jean
How tall are you?
[09:37] Parrot
A hundred, uh...
[09:39] Parrot
I'm ten centimeters shorter than
the district chief, at 198 centimeters.
[09:42] Jean
You'll fit just perfectly, then.
[09:46] Jean
The Mr. Jumō costume is surprisingly big.
[09:51] Jean
I'm told District Chief Pine was
the one who came up with the idea.
[09:55] Parrot
W-Well...
[09:58] Parrot
If it's work, I'll do it.
[10:09] Owl
Still at it?
[10:11] Jean
Yes.
[10:13] Jean
I still have some day-to-day work to do.
[10:15] Owl
I'm sorry.
[10:17] Owl
With everyone off to the other districts,
all the work's been dumped on you.
[10:24] Jean
It's fine every once in a while.
[10:26] Jean
It's for the festival, after all.
[10:29] Owl
It's a little lonely around here
when it's so quiet.
[10:33] Jean
They said they'll bring back
plenty of souvenirs.
[10:37] Jean
Let's just look forward to their return.
[10:38] Owl
Yeah.
[10:40] Jean
I have Parrot, too.
[10:42] Jean
I'll be fine.
[10:43] Owl
Speaking of, how is he?
[10:45] Owl
He seems like a bit of a tough nut.
[10:50] Jean
I haven't entirely figured him out yet,
but I think he's working hard.
[10:55] Owl
That's good to hear.
[10:57] Owl
Now, remind me...
What are your plans for tomorrow?
[11:02] Jean
We have a meeting in the morning,
and then I'll be heading to Birra.
[11:07] Owl
Birra?
[11:09] Jean
It wasn't originally on my schedule,
[11:11] Jean
but it seems there's a disagreement
regarding their booth.
[11:17] Jean
The Administration Department
asked me to reconcile it.
[11:19] Owl
I see.
[11:21] Owl
You've certainly got your hands full.
[11:23] Owl
Don't push yourself too hard, though.
[11:26] Jean
I know.
[11:34] Parrot
Hello.
[11:37] Jean
Oh? You're still here?
[11:39] Parrot
Deputy Chief, this is from
the Administration Department.
[11:42] Jean
Oh, right.
[11:44] Jean
Thanks.
[11:45] Parrot
I tried asking them directly,
but it was pointless.
[11:49] Parrot
Why can't I take on the Birra job?
[11:53] Parrot
It's too risky for you to vacate
headquarters right now.
[11:58] Jean
The Administration Department
knows what it's doing, I'm sure.
[12:03] Parrot
But you have an important
planning meeting tomorrow, too.
[12:08] Jean
You'll be there, too.
[12:09] Jean
I'll leave it to you if I really need to.
[12:11] Parrot
W-Well, if you insist, Deputy Chief...
[12:16] Parrot
But I can't help but think that
this is what makes ACCA so...
[12:24] Parrot
Deputy Chief, could I have one?
[12:29] Jean
Weren't you against smoking this morning?
[12:32] Parrot
One cigarette won't hurt.
[12:36] Jean
Sorry, that was my last one.
[12:50] Lotta
You can't come pick me up?
[12:51] Jean
No.
[12:52] Jean
I was hoping that I could, especially with
the luggage you're bringing back.
[12:57] Jean
But as it turns out,
I have to leave immediately.
[13:01] Lotta
I see.
[13:03] Lotta
Okay.
[13:04] Lotta
You must be busy, huh, Jean?
[13:07] Jean
Sorry.
[13:09] Lotta
Nah.
[13:10] Lotta
I don't have that much to carry.
[13:13] Lotta
Don't worry about it.
[13:14] Jean
I was hoping I'd at least get to see you.
[13:17] Lotta
I'll be fine.
[13:18] Lotta
I'm not a child.
[13:20] Lotta
Don't worry about me.
[13:22] Lotta
Okay.
[13:23] Lotta
Bye now.
[13:24] Jean
Yeah.
[13:31] Jean
Not a child, huh?

[14:07] Sandpiper
What's on your mind, Deputy Chief?
[14:09] Jean
Oh, nothing.
[14:11] Sandpiper
Thanks for coming out here.
[14:13] Sandpiper
My branch director was all like,
[14:14] Sandpiper
"There's nothing from our district
that's fit for the festival."
[14:19] Jean
So I heard.
[14:21] Sandpiper
Well, there's no time like the present.
[14:23] Sandpiper
Let's get going, shall we?
[14:25] Sandpiper
My car's parked over there.
[14:27] Jean
The road's snowed over.
[14:29] Jean
Don't overdo it.
[14:30] Sandpiper
Don't sweat it.
[14:31] Sandpiper
Cars here're all-wheel drive.
[14:52] Sandpiper
I've arranged for the rye and booze
[14:53] Sandpiper
to go out on the first
shipment tomorrow morning.
[14:56] Jean
Thanks.
[14:57] Jean
You sure work fast.
[15:00] Sandpiper
Not as fast as you, Deputy Chief.
[15:03] Sandpiper
Man, I'm glad we got that cleared up.
[15:06] Sandpiper
You really are in a league of your own.
[15:08] Jean
It was only because you gave
me a chance to save face.
[15:11] Jean
Besides, the booze here is definitely
something to be proud of.
[15:15] Jean
The rye bread is delicious, too.
[15:18] Sandpiper
Oh, don't toast just yet.
[15:21] Nino
Sorry. I finally made it.
[15:29] Jean
Nino.
[15:31] Sandpiper
Ninox just happened to be here
taking photos of the aurora.
[15:35] Jean
Wow, that's something you do, huh?
[15:38] Nino
Wanna see?
[15:39] Jean
Yeah.
[15:40] Jean
Later.
[15:41] Nino
I'll send them once they're developed.
[15:45] Sandpiper
This is great. It's like a mini-reunion.
[15:48] Sandpiper
I invited Dunlin, too,
but he said he couldn't make it.
[15:53] Jean
Figures.
[15:54] Jean
He's in Jumōku, isn't he?
[15:56] Sandpiper
If I were him, I'd try to make it anyway.
[16:00] Nino
You sure haven't changed since high school.
[16:03] Jean
Speaking of which, you know Dunlin, too?
[16:06] Nino
I do.
[16:08] Sandpiper
The three of us took the same elective class.
[16:11] Nino
Yeah.
[16:12] Nino
And we started hanging out
every now and then.
[16:16] Jean
Right, you mentioned that.
[16:19] Sandpiper
We never really met up outside
of school, though, did we?
[16:23] Sandpiper
You never came when we invited you.
[16:26] Nino
Is that right?
[16:27] Jean
You've always been that way, haven't you?
[16:30] Sandpiper
So have you, Deputy Chief.
[16:32] Jean
Me?
[16:33] Sandpiper
You've both always been
weirdly unapproachable.
[16:38] Jean
You're just too outgoing.
[16:42] Nino
Besides, I always had club work to do.
[16:45] Sandpiper
Oh, yeah! You were in the
photography club, weren't you?
[16:48] Nino
Yeah.
[16:49] Sandpiper
I heard your advisory teacher,
Mr. Wind, is the principal now.
[16:53] Nino
Really?
[16:55] Nino
I wonder how he's doing.
[16:57] Sandpiper
It would suck for the students if
he's still just as strait-laced.
[17:00] Sandpiper
He used to yell at me all the time.
[17:03] Nino
You sure haven't changed.
[17:05] Sandpiper
Say, Nino, you're a photographer now, right?
[17:10] Sandpiper
That's really something.
[17:12] Sandpiper
You realized your dream, didn't you?
[17:14] Nino
I guess so.
[17:16] Sandpiper
I mean, my dream basically came true, too.
[17:19] Jean
Your dream was to join ACCA?
[17:23] Sandpiper
My dream was to become
a super popular elite.
[17:27] Jean
I see.
[17:29] Sandpiper
Maybe not as much as the Deputy Chief,
[17:30] Sandpiper
but Inspection Department
leaders are pretty popular.
[17:33] Nino
You're popular?
[17:35] Jean
Who knows?
[17:36] Sandpiper
You're super popular.
[17:38] Sandpiper
Speaking of which,
what's your type, Deputy Chief?
[17:41] Jean
My type?
[17:42] Sandpiper
You know, what kind of person are you into?
[17:48] Sandpiper
What about Director-General Mauve?
[17:50] Sandpiper
You're both good at what you do.
[17:51] Sandpiper
I bet you'd make a great couple.
[17:56] Sandpiper
Well, I live over that way.
[17:58] Sandpiper
Let's get drinks again sometime.
[18:05] Jean
I feel like I don't fit in
with my subordinates these days.
[18:11] Jean
The way we interact, the way we think...
[18:14] Jean
It wasn't like that before.
[18:17] Jean
Maybe I'm getting old.
[18:18] Nino
I never thought I'd hear that from you.
[18:23] Nino
But you have Lotta.
[18:26] Nino
It should be easy enough
to figure out stuff like that.
[18:31] Jean
I don't know.
[18:32] Jean
I thought I understood Lotta,
but it turns out I might be pretty clueless.
[18:41] Jean
Lotta's teacher told me the other day that
[18:45] Jean
she's been acting strange at school lately.
[18:48] Jean
But I haven't noticed anything at all.
[18:52] Nino
Acting strange? How so?
[18:55] Jean
I don't even know.
[18:58] Jean
Her teacher thinks she might
be worried about her future.
[19:03] Jean
But that might not be the only thing.
[19:07] Jean
Have you heard anything?
[19:09] Nino
Nothing really.
[19:10] Nino
I haven't gotten any calls lately either,
come to think of it.
[19:13] Jean
I see.
[19:15] Jean
I guess she's just at that age.
[19:20] Jean
Say, Nino...
[19:25] Jean
What were we doing back in the day?
[19:29] Jean
Back when we were Lotta's age.
[19:33] Nino
Dunno.
[19:35] Nino
I was focused on what was ahead of me.
[19:38] Jean
Well, in your case,
you had things to deal with.
[19:42] Nino
So did you.
[19:44] Jean
That's true.
[19:46] Nino
If it's bothering you,
why don't you ask Lotta directly?
[19:51] Nino
You two don't actually talk about much
[19:56] Nino
other than what you ask each other.
[19:58] Nino
Because you're too kind.
[20:00] Nino
You blabber on when you get drunk,
but that doesn't work for Lotta.
[20:07] Jean
You're right.

[21:54] Owl
I wouldn't mind, but is something the matter?
[21:58] Jean
No, not exactly...
[22:02] Jean
She doesn't have school today,
but she left early this morning.
[22:06] Jean
So...
[22:09] Jean
It would be great if you could
keep an eye out for her.
[22:13] Jean
I'll be leaving again.
[22:15] Owl
That's right. You have another
business trip today.
[22:19] Jean
Yes.
[22:20] Jean
On day-to-day business.
[22:22] Jean
I'll be back before the festival tomorrow.
[22:24] Owl
All right, I'll take a look around
and see if I can find Lotta.
[22:28] Jean
Thank you.
[22:33] Parrot
Deputy Chief.
[22:36] Parrot
Do you have a moment?
[22:39] Parrot
That rumor seems to be quite reliable.
[22:43] Jean
Rumor?
[22:45] Parrot
The one I told you about
on the phone last night.
[22:48] Parrot
The rumor about the former chiefs
gathering in Bādon for the festival opening.
[22:54] Jean
Right, you mentioned that.
[22:57] Jean
Your intelligence network buddies
uncovered that, right?
[23:00] Parrot
We've confirmed that District Chief Pine
[23:02] Parrot
and District Chief Pastis will both be
taking leave at the time of the event.
[23:07] Parrot
I still think Furawau is on the move.
[23:11] Parrot
And as a diversion,

[23:15] Parrot
in a demonstration of solidarity
at an anniversary event.
[23:21] Parrot
I believe that's what they're up to.
[23:24] Jean
I'd expect that we'd have received
some kind of notification in that case.
[23:28] Parrot
That's true, but...
[23:30] Jean
At the very least,
I haven't gotten anything.
[23:34] Parrot
Everyone suspects there's
something going on.
[23:37] Parrot
Especially because nothing's
being made public.
[23:41] Jean
That's a bit of a stretch.
[23:45] Parrot
I hope you're right.
[23:49] Owl
Hmm, I haven't received any such report.
[23:54] Pine
I determined that there
was no reason to report it.
[23:58] Owl
So be it.
[24:00] Pine
Still, I didn't expect to run into you here.
[24:05] Pine
That was a miscalculation.
[24:07] Pine
It's been quite a while since
we've had time to chat, Owl.
[24:11] Owl
So, why tell me all this?
[24:17] Owl
Why are you telling me about something
that wasn't worth reporting?
[24:21] Pine
Because we can't have
the Inspection Department
[24:24] Pine
sniffing around and causing a fuss.
[24:30] Owl
We can't have Jumōku causing a fuss.
[24:33] Pine
Is that why you're telling me this?
[24:37] Owl
When you learned about
Jean Otus's birth and the coup,
[24:43] Owl
and when ACCA then made its move,
[24:45] Owl
you must have come to realize
[24:48] Owl
who's really controlling Furawau.
[24:53] Owl
We'd like for Jumōku to just
quietly watch over this turmoil.
[25:02] Owl
It seems the tables have turned since then.
[25:06] Pine
I'm sure you've heard the rumors going around.
[25:12] Owl
Are the others here, as well?
[25:15] Pine
I'm not sure.

[28:11] Wind
I hear you do camera work now.
[28:15] Nino
Where'd you hear that?
[28:17] Wind
I saw your photos in this magazine.
[28:22] Nino
That's right. You always were an avid reader.
[28:27] Wind
I'm pleased to see you've
taken up photography for a living.
[28:30] Wind
You always had talent.
[28:32] Nino
Thanks to your instruction.
[28:35] Wind
Back in high school, you'd often
taken pictures of your friends.
[28:40] Nino
One of those friends has a younger sister
attending this school now.
[28:44] Wind
Lotta Otus?
[28:47] Nino
You knew?
[28:49] Wind
Of course.
[28:50] Wind
She came by the day she enrolled.
[28:53] Wind
To thank me for taking care of
her brother and his friends.
[28:57] Wind
She's a very good girl.
[28:59] Wind
She's bright and cheerful,
but she also has a thoughtful side.
[29:03] Nino
You know her well.
[29:05] Wind
She's popular with the club members.
[29:08] Wind
She often models for them.
[29:11] Nino
I had no idea.
[29:12] Wind
Speaking of, she came by
to ask me for advice the other day.
[29:18] Nino
Lotta did?
[29:19] Wind
Yeah.
[29:20] Wind
Well, it wasn't all that big a deal,
[29:23] Wind
but she's thinking a bit about her future.
[29:26] Nino
Her future, huh?
[29:30] Wind
Are you interested?
[29:32] Nino
Yes.
[29:33] Nino
Jean's been worried that it seems
to be getting to her these days.
[29:39] Jean
What were we doing back in the day?
[29:43] Nino
I mean, I'd be lying if I
said I wasn't worried, either.
[29:47] Wind
Listen, there's nothing to worry about.
[29:51] Wind
She's no different than
how you were way back when.
[29:55] Wind
You two certainly agonized
over it just the same.
[29:59] Wind
Nothing has changed.
[30:01] Wind
It's a road that everyone must walk.
[30:13] Jean
My career path, huh?
[30:17] Jean
There isn't really anything I want to do.
[30:24] Jean
I have to take care of Lotta, too.
[30:28] Nino
Your grades are good.
[30:29] Nino
Why don't you try the ACCA employment exam?
[30:32] Jean
ACCA?
[30:34] Nino
There must be someone you admire,
[30:36] Nino
even if there isn't anything you want to do.
[30:41] Jean
Do you have someone like that?
[30:43] Nino
Me?
[30:44] Jean
Yeah.
[30:49] Nino
I guess.
[30:53] Nino
I'll do detective work,
like my father did.
[30:56] Wind
Is that so?
[30:58] Nino
You aren't going to stop me?
[31:01] Wind
Why do you think I would?
[31:11] Wind
Ultimately, you have to fly
with your own wings, Ninox.
[31:17] Wind
Whether it's spreading those wings
or just taking a step forward,
[31:20] Wind
doing it is up to you.
[31:24] Wind
But just because you have wings
doesn't mean you'll reach great heights.
[31:29] Wind
Pay close attention to the winds,
wait for the right time,
[31:34] Wind
and muster the courage you need
to kick off the ground.
[31:39] Wind
And once you're in the air,
[31:46] Wind
there'll be turbulence.
[31:48] Wind
But there will also be a view
spectacular beyond imagination.
[31:56] Wind
The path you take through
the sky won't be mapped,
[32:01] Wind
but it will nonetheless be
an invaluable journey etched into your heart.
[32:09] Wind
And when the time is right, you'll catch
another wind and set off for another world.
[32:20] Wind
So what we need to do never changes.

No matter how much you want to
be by her side, or to lend her a hand...

District Chief Pastis?
[33:15] Barotto
Yes.
[33:16] Barotto
I just got word he's arrived in Bādon
[33:18] Barotto
and is headed to headquarters now.
[33:20] Barotto
It seems that District Chief Pine
was behind this recent incident.
[33:25] Barotto
Considering his wisdom and judgment,
it's believable.
[33:30] Barotto
Our suspicions are becoming
more and more realistic.
[33:35] Jean
Do you have a handle on
former Chief Officer Spade as well?
[33:40] Barotto
Well...
[33:41] Barotto
Nothing's confirmed as of yet.
[33:43] Jean
Then we don't know.
[33:46] Barotto
But the citizens of Yakkara
are gamblers by nature!
[33:50] Barotto
They could have read the tea leaves.
[33:53] Jean
You mean Yakkara's sided with Furawau?
[33:57] Jean
You're definitely overthinking it.
[34:00] Barotto
I hate to say it, but that region
is filled with people who migrated
[34:04] Barotto
as soon as resources
in Pranetta were discovered.
[34:08] Jean
That's a rather underhanded comment.
[34:10] Barotto
Right or wrong doesn't matter.
[34:12] Barotto
The point is that they're capable
of such cold decision-making!
[34:19] Jean
Why don't we find somewhere
better to discuss this?
[34:23] Jean
Well, even if Furawau were to do something,
[34:28] Jean
it's entirely up to the
central council to respond.
[34:31] Jean
It's not ACCA's business.
[34:34] Barotto
But it's been proven that if ACCA takes
the initiative, a coup is possible.
[34:40] Barotto
That's how much influence it has.
[34:43] Jean
You knew about that...
[34:45] Barotto
You can't brick up people's mouths.
[34:48] Jean
So you think ACCA could inspire
the people to rise up.
[34:54] Barotto
I don't know.
[34:57] Barotto
But I do think ACCA is tied down
by some old ways of thinking.
[35:03] Barotto
Like what happened with Birra.
[35:06] Barotto
I don't understand why it was necessary
for the Deputy Chief to go personally.
[35:14] Barotto
Even under a new order,
ACCA itself hasn't changed at all.
[35:18] Barotto
Worse yet, I fear that it's only
further consolidated power
[35:25] Barotto
by abolishing the Five Chief Officers system.
[35:34] Jean
All right.
[35:36] Jean
Let's go ask directly, then.
[35:38] Jean
That'll clear things up quickly.
[35:41] Barotto
Ask? Ask who?
[35:44] Jean
The leader of ACCA.
[35:48] Jean
Or are you content just reporting to me?
[35:57] Barotto
I'll go.
[36:06] Grossular
The day the wind was born within me,
a storm arrived just before I departed.
[36:16] Grossular
The wind didn't implore me to stay.
[36:20] Grossular
But it made me think,
and it made me fearful.
[36:24] Grossular
What would I do if it was a premonition?
[36:33] Grossular
I'll be leaving now.
[36:37] Grossular
It isn't like it was back then.
[36:42] Mauve
Come in.
[36:43] Jean
Pardon us.
[36:51] Mauve
What is it?
[36:56] Grossular
The wind today is strong.
[36:58] Grossular
But it's very peaceful.
[37:04] Pine
Well...
[37:05] Pine
It's not often that I see you in the
meeting room, Chief Officer Grossular.
[37:14] Grossular
You were the one who called me.
[37:16] Pine
So I was.
[37:18] Pine
But it seems former
Chief Officer Spade hasn't come.
[37:23] Grossular
Indeed.
[37:28] Spade
I never thought you'd win.
[37:33] Grossular
I just hope his absence doesn't
inspire any odd suspicions.
[37:39] Bastis
I, too, was subject to curious
glances at the airport.
[37:43] Pine
Hey, there's nothing to worry about.
[37:47] Pine
Today is just a festival.
[37:51] Pine
Yes, and this is just a reunion.
[37:55] Jean
You heard it.
[37:57] Barotto
Huh? A reunion?
[37:59] Mauve
Yes.
[38:00] Mauve
Which means you were worried for nothing.
[38:07] Barotto
I see.
[38:08] Mauve
Of course, I like to think
[38:10] Mauve
that I'm perfectly aware
that the members of this department,
[38:16] Mauve
especially of the younger generation,
have much on their minds.
[38:21] Mauve
Speculations about the status quo,
and even anxieties.
[38:25] Barotto
No, well, that's...
[38:27] Mauve
It's fine.
[38:29] Mauve
It's only natural that the citizens
share similar sentiments.
[38:33] Mauve
I suspect District Chief Pine is
keenly aware of all this as well.
[38:38] Mauve
He most likely acted as he has
with that in mind.
[38:43] Mauve
I've been told that he will be
[38:46] Mauve
participating in the festival not
on behalf of ACCA, but as a guest.
[38:52] Mauve
That was his intention.
[38:55] Barotto
I had no idea.
[38:57] Mauve
Do you have any other questions?
[39:00] Barotto
No.
[39:01] Mauve
I'm happy to hear them if you do.
[39:06] Jean
Did District Chief Pine also call on Furawau?
[39:11] Jean
The concerns people have,
including about the festival,
[39:15] Jean
will not be quelled without addressing
Furawau, Director-General.
[39:20] Mauve
I see.
[39:21] Mauve
You have a point.
[39:23] Mauve
But there's nothing to worry about
in that regard, either.
[39:28] Mauve
I just received a letter from Furawau.
[39:32] Mauve
I'd considered keeping it quiet
based on its contents,
[39:35] Mauve
but it's turned out to be something
we can reveal at the festival.
[39:40] Mauve
I'll refrain from sharing details now,
[39:42] Mauve
but I'd like you to understand
the nature of this letter.
[39:46] Mauve
Furawau merely did what
it deemed to be necessary.
[39:50] Mauve
It wasn't looking for a conflict.
[39:53] Mauve
The letter makes that much clear.
[39:56] Mauve
Thus, we at ACCA will keep an eye
on their leadership,
[40:01] Mauve
and respond appropriately as the need arises.
[40:12] Mauve
It's time.
[40:13] Mauve
Let us proceed to the venue
where everyone awaits.
[40:25] Lilium
Bādon is so cold, Chief Officer Pine.
[40:33] Barotto
Deputy Chief, about everything that happened...

The Inspection Department
was tasked, to some extent,
[40:41] Jean
with assessing movement within each
district following the establishment
[40:45] Jean
of the new order at the ceremony.
[40:48] Jean
Though your motives and beginnings were
different, you ended up doing just that.
[40:53] Jean
There's no reason to be disappointed.
[40:57] Jean
Going forward, I think ACCA will be
populated with more rational people like you.
[41:09] Jean
But change is still a slow process.
[41:12] Jean
It may be old-fashioned
for an official like me
[41:15] Jean
to visit Birra myself,
but I think it's important.
[41:19] Jean
You do have a tendency to become
entrenched in speculation.
[41:24] Jean
But put another way,
you're capable of deep insight.
[41:29] Jean
And you're extremely analytical.
[41:32] Jean
I think you're well-suited
for our department.
[41:48] Nino
Long day, huh, Jean?
[41:52] Nino
The festival was nice.
[41:54] Nino
Everything was perfect, including
Director-General Mauve's closing speech.
[41:59] Jean
Yeah.
[42:00] Jean
It was.
[42:02] Nino
What's up? You look pretty serious.
[42:04] Jean
No, it's nothing.
[42:07] Jean
I just don't know
what young folks are thinking.
[42:10] Jean
Maybe I don't need to try to understand.
[42:13] Jean
Maybe I just need to work
through things with them.
[42:18] Nino
Yeah.
[42:19] Nino
I guess that's what it means
to watch over them.
[42:22] Jean
Hmm?
[42:23] Nino
Nothing. I was just thinking
about something like that.
[42:30] Mauve
Mr. Otus.
[42:33] Mauve
I think the time has come
for you to prepare yourself.
[42:37] Jean
What do you mean by that?
[42:38] Mauve
I mean exactly what I said.
[42:41] Mauve
The tree appears ripe to my eyes.
[42:44] Mauve
Your burden may grow heavier, but go on forth.

And when I think about

[43:21] Wind
Your brother might find a good partner.
[43:26] Wind
And someone else who can manage
the building might come along.
[43:33] Wind
Circumstances change.
[43:37] Wind
It's okay for things to be vague.

[43:54] Lotta
Okay.
[43:57] Lotta
So I visited Kororē,
[44:00] Lotta
and a new bakery in the western sector
[44:03] Lotta
was looking for help,
so I asked if I could do it.

I ran into him at the airport,

[44:25] Lotta
Sorry, I wanted to tell you all about it.
[44:29] Lotta
But I got lost inside my own head.

It's all right.

I've felt like that before.
