[00:01] Sch
    What?
[00:03] Sch
    Magie went to Bādon?
[00:04] Mond
    Yes, Your Highness. Just a short time ago.
[00:07] Sch
    How dare my aide leave Dōwā
    without my permission?!
[00:12] Mond
    He said he could not let someone
    else handle something again.
[00:16] Magie
    Mochi dessert?
[00:18] Magie
    How could he let food
    distract him from his mission?
[00:21] Mond
    What's wrong, Magie?
[00:24] Magie
    Commander...
[00:26] Magie
    Just rather irritated by an
    incompetent subordinate.
[00:29] Mond
    I see.
[00:30] Mond
    Are you engaged in an important mission?
[00:35] Magie
    Yes, I would say it is important.
[00:38] Mond
    Are you sure you can entrust
[00:39] Mond
    such a task to an incompetent subordinate?
[00:43] Mond
    I am certain he had his reasons.
[00:50] Sch
    Find out who she is.
[00:54] L
    Yay!
[00:57] L
    So yummy.
[00:59] L
    This place has the best pancakes.
[01:06] L
    That was great!
[01:07] Staff
    Come back anytime.
[01:08] L
    I will!
[01:17] Rail
    That uniform...
[01:20] Rail
    You must be with the guy who's
    been stalking Lotta lately.
[01:25] Rail
    Let's hear your intentions.
[01:28] Magie
    I don't care about that right now.
[01:31] Staff
    Seconds... Sorry for the delay!
[01:34] Magie
    This is what I care about right now,
[01:36] Magie
    this "toast" object!
[01:38] Magie
    Crispy on the outside,
    yet fluffy and chewy inside!
[01:44] Magie
    How delicious...
[01:45] Magie
    I must remember this toast type of bread.
[01:48] Rail
    That's sandwich bread.
[01:50] Magie
    Sandwich bread?
[01:51] Rail
    When you grill it, it's called toast.
[01:53] Magie
    It's the first time I've seen one.
[01:55] Magie
    So toast is grilled sandwich bread...
[01:58] Magie
    Dōwā only has tough bread.
    Nothing like this.
[02:01] Magie
    I must make a mental note.
[02:02] Rail
    Uh...
[02:04] Rail
    I've heard of a west-sector bakery that
    specializes in sandwich bread.
[02:07] Rail
    Want to go?
[02:08] Magie
    You'd take me there?
[02:10] Rail
    Sure, I've been wanting to check it out, too.
[03:52] Owl
    How was Suitsu, Jean?
[03:55] J
    The usual.
[03:57] J
    But about their supervisor, Warbler...
[04:00] J
    I know I mentioned that he
    could take on my role,
[04:03] J
    but I don't think he's ready yet.
[04:04] Owl
    Did something happen?
[04:06] J
    Just a feeling after observing him.
[04:08] Owl
    All right.
[04:10] Owl
    Well, even if stepping down
    will be possible for you,
[04:12] Owl
    I doubt it'll be for a good while yet.
[04:14] J
    Once I'm done with the district audits,
[04:18] J
    do you think the brass will finally
    approve my transfer request?
[04:22] Owl
    I'm not sure.
[04:24] Owl
    But, Jean, wouldn't that also
    put you in a tight spot?
[04:29] J
    Not really...
[04:31] M
    You visit every single district.
[04:33] M
    I'd like you to report any information
    you find during your rounds.
[04:37] M
    In secrecy.
[04:40] J
    I can't tell her about the Suitsu fiasco,
[04:43] J
    but I need to make my report.
[04:50] Lilium
    You look pale.
[04:53] Lilium
    Did Crow say something in his report?
[04:57] Gro
    There is nothing to report.
[05:01] Pine
    Crow even infiltrated Suitsu?
[05:05] Lilium
    Most likely.
[05:11] J
    Guess I'll take the bus instead of the subway.
[05:17] Lilium
    Get in.
[05:23] Lilium
    How was Suitsu?
[05:26] Lilium
    I heard you had to stay longer than planned.
[05:28] Lilium
    Did something unusual happen?
[05:31] J
    Nothing in particular.
[05:34] Lilium
    Since Grossular doesn't share information
[05:37] Lilium
    your observer gives him,
[05:40] Lilium
    I decided to ask you myself.
[05:43] J
    Observer?
[05:45] Lilium
    Grossular assigned one to you a month ago.
[05:50] J
    I didn't know I had one.
[05:57] J
    Regarding the coup d'état,
[05:59] J
    you mentioned that Chief Officer
    Grossular is involved.
[06:03] J
    Is that really true?
[06:06] J
    I mean...
[06:07] Lilium
    Go on.
[06:10] J
    I don't see the connection between the
    coup and Chief Officer Grossular.
[06:14] Lilium
    Hmm.
[06:15] Lilium
    Is that your intuition, based on
    your own read of him,
[06:18] Lilium
    and not someone else's opinion?
[06:22] Lilium
    You made me want to ask you that
[06:25] Lilium
    because to us, Grossular is an
    impenetrable, unreadable man.
[06:30] Lilium
    I'll give you the benefit of a doubt
    and try to scrutinize him again.
[06:37] J
    About this observer you mentioned...
[06:40] J
    Is it an ACCA member?
[06:44] Lilium
    Someone with Internal Affairs.
[06:47] Lilium
    Have you sensed anyone watching you?
[06:50] J
    Not at all in the past month.
[06:52] Lilium
    Of course you wouldn't have.
[06:55] Lilium
    You're probably used to being watched
[06:58] Lilium
    by that person.
[07:18] J
    Being watched...
[07:25] Mauve
    He isn't coming...
[07:27] Staff
    Potatoes!
[07:29] Keli
    Let's make microwave potato chips!
[07:31] Staff
    Wow, that'd be great!
[07:33] Knot
    Eider, you came all the way here
    from Fāmasu District?
[07:36] Ei
    Yes, I had paperwork to finish regarding
    my staff's former wrongdoing.
[07:41] Ei
    I thought I'd pay my regards
    to the deputy chief, but...
[07:44] Knot
    Ah.
[07:45] Knot
    Jean left this morning for
    an audit in Birra District.
[07:48] Ei
    I see.
[07:50] Moz
    Oh, what?
[07:51] Moz
    Does Eider have feelings
    for the deputy chief?
[07:53] Ei
    N-No...
[07:55] L
    Yeah, Jean's so busy...
[07:58] L
    He already left for his next audit.
[08:00] L
    Nino, want to grab dinner tonight?
[08:03] Nino
    Sorry, I don't think I can tonight.
[08:06] L
    Nino, you're working too hard, as well!
[08:09] L
    Where are you right now?
[08:10] Nino
    That's a secret.
SIGN    Birra District
[08:16] Nino
    He's staying in Birra's best hotel.
[08:19] Nino
    He's staying for five days,
[08:21] Nino
    longer than in the other districts
    due to the long travel time.
[08:28] Nino
    Hmm?
[08:29] Nino
    He's taking a while to enter.
[08:32] Nino
    Is he thinking of having a smoke out here?
[08:39] Danlin
    Deputy Chief, you'll catch a cold.
[08:42] Danlin
    Please come inside.
[08:43] J
    Right.
[08:51] Nino
    Jean... noticed?
[09:06] Owl
    Since he knows, we have no choice.
[09:09] Owl
    You can tell him what he needs to know,
[09:13] Owl
    while getting a sense for where he stands.
[09:16] Owl
    Of course, you can also leave
    without talking to him.
[09:20] Owl
    This doesn't mean your duties
    are over, however.
[09:23] Owl
    You'll just change roles to only
    be his friend, and continue.
[09:34] D
    Good morning. I'm glad the sun's out!
[09:37] D
    I'm sorry we couldn't provide you with
[09:40] D
    any more than boots yesterday.
[09:42] J
    My arrival was sudden.
SIGN    ACCA Inspection Department  Birra Branch Supervisor  Danlin
[09:44] D
    I've borrowed a whole set of
    warm gear from Birra Branch.
[09:50] J
    They're warm.
[09:52] D
    The branch chief is preparing some
    Birra cuisine for tonight's dinner.
[09:57] D
    Well, let's go.
[10:00] J
    Okay.
[10:01] Bakery
    You must really like sandwich bread,
[10:05] Bakery
    coming here daily, while you visit.
[10:07] Magie
    I'd like the azuki bean, too.
[10:09] L
    Hello!
[10:10] Bakery
    Hi, Lotta.
[10:12] Bakery
    What would you like today?
[10:13] L
    Three two-centimeter slices!
    Walnut, cheese, and chocolate!
[10:17] L
    And...
[10:19] L
    Oh, hello.
[10:22] L
    Have we met?
[10:23] Magie
    Do you like sandwich bread?
[10:24] L
    Of course! Do you?
[10:26] Magie
    Same here, of course.
[10:28] L
    They have really good sandwich bread.
[10:31] D
    Birra Branch is my fourth assignment.
[10:35] D
    Compared to others I've been at, Birra has
    a pretty balanced operation.
[10:39] D
    There's a good amount of trade,
[10:41] D
    so quality of life is much
    better than in Suitsu.
[10:44] D
    Birra isn't as prosperous as Fāmasu,
[10:47] D
    but it's self-sufficient,
[10:50] D
    and things are stable.
[10:53] D
    The district administration
    is a well-oiled machine.
[10:56] J
    Things really are different,
    depending on the district.
[10:59] D
    I agree.
[11:00] D
    Though, everyone really cares about
[11:03] D
    their own districts.
[11:07] Gurusu
    Eider, you're here.
[11:10] Ei
    Yes, but I'm about to leave.
[11:13] Gurusu
    I heard about what happened in Fāmasu.
[11:16] Gurusu
    It must've been difficult.
[11:19] Gurusu
    I know how you feel.
[11:22] Gurusu
    The supervisor is responsible for
    any subordinate impropriety.
[11:25] Gurusu
    But you shouldn't bear it alone.
[11:28] Ei
    That isn't it.
[11:29] Guru
    Oh?
[11:30] Ei
    I've come all the way out here,
[11:32] Ei
    but the deputy chief is on a business trip.
[11:34] Ei
    I have such bad luck!
[11:37] Ei
    Why isn't the deputy chief here?!
[11:39] Gurusu
    Wh-Why not have lunch before you leave?
[11:42] Gurusu
    It's on me.
[11:44] Perry
    I heard you liked wheat bread, so I made
[11:47] Perry
    special arrangements for some today.
[11:50] Perry
    Wheat doesn't grow in this district.
[11:52] Perry
    That applies to the beer you're drinking now.
[11:55] Perry
    We grow some barley,
[11:57] Perry
    but it's mostly for export.
SIGN    Birra District, Branch Chief 
    Perry
[12:00] Perry
    We like drinks that our
    own district produces.
[12:03] Perry
    We have potatoes and rye bread.
[12:06] Perry
    Our wood fires keep us warm.
[12:09] Perry
    That's enough.
[12:11] Perry
    We can support our residents' lives.
[12:14] Perry
    But we aren't oblivious to the
    widening gap between districts.
[12:19] Perry
    Should one district grow in power
[12:22] Perry
    and dominate the nation,
[12:24] Perry
    each district would no longer be assured of
    retaining an equal degree of autonomy.
[12:29] Perry
    To be prepared for such an eventuality,
[12:32] Perry
    we are sure to accept our allotted
    budget and use the oil provided.
[12:37] Perry
    We wouldn't want other
    districts to leave us behind.
[12:41] Perry
    Sorry to bore you with serious talk.
[12:43] Perry
    If you'd like, you're welcome to smoke.
[12:46] J
    Then, I'll do so over there.
[12:57] Bar
    This is for you, from a customer.
[13:11] J
    Is this a cigarette from Birra?
[13:14] Perry
    This district has no cigarette-makers.
[13:17] Perry
    You're the only one who
    wants cigarettes here.
[13:31] Schwan
    What is this, Magie?
[13:34] Magie
    It's called "sandwich bread." Please try it.
[13:44] Schwan
    And?
[13:44] Magie
    Please spread some butter on it.
[13:47] Schwan
    I like tough, dense bread.
[13:50] Magie
    This is walnut sandwich bread.
[13:51] Magie
    I brought this back from Bādon.
[13:54] Schwan
    Are you listening to me?
[13:56] Schwan
    Magie, I haven't forgiven you for leaving
    the castle without my permission—
[14:01] Magie
    The bread's done.
[14:05] Magie
    This is called "toast."
[14:06] Schwan
    What is your goal, Magie?
[14:09] Magie
    Miss Lotta would highly recommend this,
[14:11] Magie
    the same Miss Lotta you find attractive!
[14:14] Schwan
    That's right!
[14:15] Schwan
    Did you learn anything about her?
[14:17] Magie
    She lives in a ritzy apartment building
    in the center of Bādon,
[14:20] Magie
    and she likes sandwich bread.
[14:23] Schwan
    And?
[14:24] Magie
    That is all.
[14:25] Magie
    To win her heart, you will need to
[14:27] Magie
    set up a bakery for sandwich
    bread in Dōwā.
[14:31] Schwan
    That isn't what I was interested in!
[14:35] Schwan
    Wait, you said a ritzy apartment?
[14:38] Schwan
    What do her parents do?
[14:40] Magie
    One moment.
[14:44] Magie
    This is Magie.
[14:46] Magie
    What can you tell me about
    Miss Lotta's parents?
[14:50] Magie
    Please...
[14:51] Magie
    Aren't we fellow aficionados
    of sandwich bread?
[14:53] Magie
    Sharing is caring.
[14:55] Schwan
    Magie, who are you talking to?
[14:57] Magie
    I'll send you the Dōwān cake
    that Miss Lotta likes.
[15:01] Magie
    It will make her happy.
[15:05] Magie
    Hmm, I see.
[15:08] Magie
    Her parents are deceased.
[15:12] Schwan
    I see.
[15:17] D
    That concludes the entire schedule.
[15:19] D
    Well done.
[15:21] J
    I'll treat you to dinner tonight.
[15:23] D
    Are you sure?
[15:24] D
    I figured you must have
    plans to meet a friend.
[15:28] D
    It seemed like you've
    been waiting for a call.
[15:32] J
    It's fine.
[15:35] D
    Thank you for dinner.
[15:37] D
    Goodnight.
[16:05] J
    I thought you'd invite me to
    grab a bite, at least once,
[16:10] J
    like usual.
[16:17] J
    When someone helped me out
[16:20] J
    during the Suitsu riot, I thought
    he looked familiar.
[16:29] Nino
    We don't have time to bother with ACCA.
[16:32] J
    I'd heard the same voice before, too.
[16:35] J
    And looking back,
[16:36] J
    I think there were many
    other similar instances,
[16:40] J
    not just in this past month.
[16:43] J
    Do you work for ACCA?
[16:48] Nino
    That's right.
[16:49] J
    I see.
[16:51] J
    I don't really understand
    my current predicament.
[16:56] J
    Do you?
[16:58] Nino
    You're just someone who always
    gets caught up in things.
[17:02] J
    Here's what I think, Nino.
[17:05] J
    You aren't the kind of guy who'd try
[17:08] J
    to get me into deeper trouble.
[17:16] J
    So just tell me
[17:18] J
    about this someday, when you can.
[17:23] Nino
    This involves you, but you
    don't really give a damn.
[17:27] Nino
    That's just like you, Jean.
[17:30] Nino
    I'm not watching you because
    I work for ACCA.
[17:35] Nino
    For now, that's all I can say.
[17:37] J
    Okay.
[17:39] J
    I'm going back tomorrow.
[17:41] J
    Once I return, I have to make
    sure Lotta gets a good meal.
[17:45] J
    You should come.
[17:49] J
    It really is snowing a lot.
[17:51] Nino
    Jean...
[17:54] J
    Birran liquor?
[17:55] J
    I'm not a strong drinker.
[18:02] J
    Wait a minute.
[18:03] J
    When we drink together,
[18:06] J
    you're always egging me on.
[18:09] J
    Do I tell you things when I'm drunk?
[18:12] Nino
    Like what?
[18:15] Nino
    If it's about Director-General
    Mauve, I've heard lots.
[18:19] Nino
    "The director-general really respects
    Chief Officer Grossular.
[18:24] Nino
    I like him, just as the
    director-general does, too."
[18:33] J
    I said stuff like that?
[18:40] L
    Nino, you know a lot of good places.
[18:43] L
    This is great!
[18:45] L
    It tastes even better when we eat together!
[18:48] Nino
    Oh, Jean...
[18:49] Nino
    Don't you have to go to the
    west-sector bakery for bread?
[18:54] Nino
    After being in districts with hard
    bread, ours must be great.
[18:58] J
    All the bread tastes good to me.
[19:01] J
    I have to go on an audit
    again, starting Friday.
[19:04] Nino
    Too bad, since the rest of the
    world will be on vacation.
[19:09] J
    Nino, while I'm gone,
[19:12] J
    take Lotta out for dinner every night.
[19:17] Nino
    Got it.
[19:18] L
    Really?
[19:20] L
    Yay!
[19:21] L
    Hey, where are you going next?
SIGN    Rokkusu District
[19:26] J
    Rokkusu District.
[19:28] Sandpiper
    I guess we don't get any vacation.
[19:31] J
    Nope.
[19:32] J
    I'll try to minimize smoke breaks,
    so we can wrap up early.
[19:36] Sandpiper
    Oh, really?
SIGN    ACCA Inspection Department  Rokkusu Branch Supervisor  Sandpiper
[19:39] Sandpiper
    If we aren't stopping for smoke breaks,
    we'd go faster on the highway, too!
[19:44] J
    Did you really get top marks in the
    department entrance exam?
[19:48] Sandpiper
    But that's how things are in
    the Inspection Department.
[19:51] Sandpiper
    Not everyone looks competent.
[19:53] Sandpiper
    The same goes for you, Deputy Chief.
[19:56] J
    Let's go.
[19:58] Sandpiper
    Aye aye, sir.
[20:07] Sandpiper
    Did you do a double take?
[20:09] Sandpiper
    Everyone looks like Chief Officer
    Grossular, don't they?
[20:12] Sandpiper
    Most men here have long hair.
[20:15] Sandpiper
    The custom got to me, so I'm
    growing mine out.
[20:20] Sandpiper
    That was the real Chief Officer Grossular.
[20:22] Sandpiper
    He came back yesterday.
[20:24] Sandpiper
    He looks like anyone else,
[20:27] Sandpiper
    but you can tell him right
    away by his presence.
[20:29] J
    Huh...
[20:31] J
    It's the first time I've run into him here.
[20:38] Pastis
    Chief Officer Lilium...
[20:40] Lilium
    Chief Officer Pastis.
[20:42] Lilium
    I thought you flew home yesterday.
[20:45] Pastis
    That was the plan,
[20:47] Pastis
    but I wanted to delay my return by a day.
[20:49] Pastis
    Well, in terms of protecting one's district,
[20:53] Pastis
    not being overly suspicious is important.
[20:56] Lilium
    You said "district," not "nation."
[21:00] Pastis
    I merely thought you might
    not like the nation talk.
[21:02] Lilium
    Did my brother give you ideas?
[21:07] Pastis
    I have pride in my position as
    an ACCA Chief Officer, too.
[21:10] Pastis
    Though not as much as you.
[21:13] Lilium
    Mine pales in comparison to
    Chief Officer Grossular.
[21:16] Lilium
    He's proud of ACCA as an institution,
[21:20] Lilium
    and cares for it more than anything.
[21:22] Pastis
    ACCA has many people like that.
[21:25] Pastis
    Director-General Mauve in HQ is the same.
[21:28] Pastis
    Well, it's a good thing to have pride.
[21:31] Lilium
    Yes, as long as it isn't excessive.
[21:35] Lotta
    Hey, what are you up to, Jean?
[21:39] Lotta
    Oh, I'm not calling about
    anything in particular.
[21:43] Lotta
    Huh?
[21:44] Lotta
    You're going somewhere by train?
[21:47] Lotta
    Oh.
[21:48] Lotta
    Take care, then.
[21:50] Lotta
    Don't forget presents!
[21:53] Lotta
    Okay, let's eat!
[21:56] Nino
    Don't worry.
[21:58] Nino
    After ACCA began managing
    the national railway,
[22:01] Nino
    the number of accidents plummeted.
[22:03] Nino
    Especially in Rokkusu District.
SIGN    Where Pride and Train Tracks Lead
[23:55] Nino
    Next time on ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.,
[23:59] Nino
    Where Pride and Train Tracks Lead.
[24:03] Nino
    You really don't give a damn, do you?
[24:07] Nino
    But I'm glad it was you.
