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. [13:14] News     Many important figures from all     districts are here in Bādon [13:18] News     to attend the ACCA centennial ceremony. [13:22] News     The ceremony is planned for this weekend [13:26] News     at the central district branch plaza. [13:26] L     His Majesty won't be there, right? [13:27] News     ACCA headquarters and various     Bādon Branch departments [13:29] J     Prince Schwan will attend in his place. [13:32] News     are making final preparations... [13:32] L     The ceremony... Civilians can attend, right? [13:36] J     Hmm... [13:38] L     Jean, you look stressed out. [13:43] J     I'm just tired. 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     It will be fine, no matter     where you choose to go. [24:04] N     Just let me watch over you     for a little while longer.
