**[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?

**[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.
