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.

SIGN    Inspection Department
[13:47] Grus
    Excuse me.
[13:52] Grus
    Everyone's here early.
[13:54] Rocks
    Maybe you're too lax because
    you're so close, Agent Grus.
[13:59] Grus
    The only ones who aren't here yet
    are Warbler, Pulse, and Eider...
[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.
[14:11] Pulse
    Hi!
[14:12] Eider
    Hi, all.
[14:14] Moz
    Pulse! Eider!
[14:16] Passer
    Hey, Eider! I've been waiting
    for you to show up!
[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,
[14:36] Eider
    but now, well...
[14:39] Dan
    Girls really like talking about relationships.
[14:41] Canary
    How cute.
[14:43] Staff
    What?!
[14:44] Staff
    You're dating Agent Grus?
[14:47] Eider
    Um, he was a really good listener.
[14:51] Eider
    And um, one thing led to another,
[14:53] Eider
    and yes...
[14:54] Passer
    Bādon and Fāmasu!
[14:56] Passer
    It's super far!
[14:58] Sandpiper
    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.
SIGN    Director-General's Office
[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.
[20:29] News
    Important district figures
    have come to Bādon.
[20:32] News
    Prince Schwan has just arrived from Dōwā.
[20:36] R
    Huh? Magie?!
[20:36] News
    He did not seem fatigued by his journey,
[20:37] R
    He was one of the Dōwā
    family's personal guards?
[20:39] News
    as he left his plane for the tarmac.
[20:41] L
    The boy who loved sandwich bread!
[20:41] News
    After exchanging greetings with
    important district figures,
[20:43] L
    So Agent Rail's friend from
    Dōwā must've been...
[20:45] News
    he gave a press conference.
[20:48] Lil
    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...
[22:18] M
    Are you all right?
[22:23] Gro
    Yes.
SIGN    Where the Bird Flies
[23:55] N
    Next time on ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.,
[23:58] N
    "Where the Bird Flies."
[24:00] N

    where you choose to go.
[24:04] N
    Just let me watch over you
    for a little while longer.
