[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    Yakkara District Chief Baccarat
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
    to bring you a special news bulletin.
[19:30] News
    His Majesty has had to retire in the
    midst of an award ceremony,
[19:33] News
    due to poor health.
[19:35] News
    We have an update.
[19:37] News
    According to the Privy Council,
[19:39] News
    His Majesty has yet to recover
    and will not attend
[19:42] News
    any political functions, starting tomorrow.
[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.
