***SIGN*** *The tragic accident occurred
at 8:18 local time,*
***SIGN*** *at the Peshi-Rokkusu border.*
***SIGN*** *The central council has convened an emergency
session and made the following statement.*
***SIGN*** *We will devote all available resources*
**[00:15] Council**
*to rescuing the passengers and
conducting a speedy investigation.*
**[00:19] News**
*More names of casualties
have been released.*
**[00:24] News**
*We now have sixty-three total casualties.*
**[02:07] Gro**
What do you want?
**[02:10] Gro**
You wouldn't have come here
unless you had a reason.
**[02:13] J**
You're right.
**[02:14] Gro**
Did you finish your audits?
**[02:16] J**
I only have the south sector left.
**[02:19] J**
I'll return to Bādon tomorrow.
**[02:21] Gro**
What are you thinking?
**[02:24] Gro**
Your wandering gaze said you
were thinking something.
**[02:27] Gro**
Rokkusu residents have good eyes.
**[02:32] J**
I was just remembering.
**[02:34] J**
I read an article in Kororē District.
**[02:38] J**
An interview with Director-General Mauve
when she was Kororē branch director,
**[02:43] J**
after she'd been appointed director-general.
**[02:45] J**
Kororē branch had a "Mauve
Avenue" in their offices.
**[02:49] J**
They must have been proud of the first female
director-general being from their ranks.
**[02:53] J**
The article was displayed there.
**[02:56] J**
In it, the director-general spoke of you.
**[02:59] J**
That's what I was remembering.
**[03:02] J**
That's all.
**[03:03] Gro**
That's all?
**[03:05] J**
That's a lie.
**[03:07] J**
I never noticed I had an observer
you'd assigned to me.
**[03:13] J**
But he isn't a straightforward guy.
**[03:16] J**
He may have lied in his reports.
**[03:20] Gro**
What are you trying to say?
**[03:25] J**
My parents died in the train accident
**[03:28] J**
that happened thirteen years ago
**[03:31] J**
on the border between
here and Peshi District.
**[03:35] J**
The responses to the accident by
the districts weren't even close.
**[03:39] J**
Peshi District refused any responsibility.
**[03:42] J**
And to avoid strife, Rokkusu took
full responsibility.
**[03:47] J**
The one who counseled the Rokkusu chief to,
and to bring the national rail under ACCA,
**[03:52] J**
then made it happen
**[03:54] J**
was you, the Rokkusu branch chief.
**[03:56] J**
It's widely known that since then,
the number of rail accidents
**[03:59] J**
has rapidly declined.
**[04:02] J**
You said, "ACCA exists to build
a better nation."
**[04:06] J**
In the article, Director-General Mauve
**[04:09] J**
spoke of her respect for you.
**[04:12] J**
I agree with her sentiment.
**[04:15] J**
I say this, without understanding my situation.
**[04:19] J**
I don't understand what this coup
d'état business is all about,
**[04:22] J**
but I've heard I'm involved, somehow.
**[04:26] J**
I've also heard speculation that
you may be a coup sympathizer.
**[04:31] J**
But just as I am not involved,
**[04:34] J**
I don't think you are involved in any of it.
**[04:38] J**
That's all.
**[04:40] J**
I'm sorry to interrupt your time off.
**[04:48] Gro**
How naïve.
**[04:51] Owl**
Knot...
**[04:52] Owl**
If I remember correctly,
**[04:53] Owl**
isn't Jean supposed to be back today?
**[04:56] Knot**
Yes.
**[04:57] Knot**
He was back earlier, but left right away,
**[05:00] Knot**
after dropping off presents
from his Rokkusu audit.
**[05:07] J**
You haven't gone back home, then.
**[05:10] Mauve**
I was waiting for you to return.
**[05:13] Mauve**
And about what we discussed?
**[05:15] Mauve**
Is there anything you want to tell me?
**[05:18] J**
Nothing of note.
**[05:21] Mauve**
I see.
**[05:23] Mauve**
You are less useful than expected.

**[06:54] Lotta**
Oh, come on...
**[06:55] Lotta**
You'll catch a cold.
**[06:57] Lotta**
Up, both of you!
**[06:59] Lotta**
Wake up already!
**[07:02] Nino**
I hurt all over.
**[07:04] L**
Serves you right, falling asleep like that.
**[07:07] Nino**
Jean drank too much and couldn't get up.
**[07:10] L**
Did something happen to him?
**[07:12] Nino**
He got scolded by a superior officer.
**[07:14] L**
The department chief?
**[07:15] Nino**
Someone higher up.
**[07:19] L**
I'll bring water.
**[07:20] L**
You really shouldn't drink so much.
**[07:23] Nino**
I didn't make you drink this time.
**[07:27] Nino**
You have to work on your reporting skills.
**[07:32] Moz**
Deputy Chief,
**[07:33] Moz**
we have snacks today.
**[07:36] J**
Don't want any.
**[07:37] Knot**
Are you all right?
**[07:38] J**
Mostly...
**[07:40] Knot**
You wrote up the audit report, right?
**[07:42] Knot**
Starting today, the chief's on break, too.
**[07:44] Knot**
Why not go home?
**[07:45] J**
Well...
**[07:47] Atri**
Deputy Chief, you're on break
starting day after tomorrow, right?
**[07:50] Atri**
Do you have any plans?
**[07:52] J**
I'll just be at home.
**[07:54] Moz**
Where do you want to go for
the New Year's countdown?
**[07:56] Keli**
There are a lot of options.
**[07:58] Moz**
I want to toast in the new
year with champagne!
**[08:00] Keli**
Uh, let's see which places
offer drinks like that...
**[08:04] Atri**
This is a really secret hole in the wall.
**[08:06] Keli**
Huh?!
**[08:07] Moz**
Oh, where?
**[08:08] Moz**
Hey... This is the deputy
chief's apartment building!
**[08:11] J**
I don't own the building.
**[08:13] J**
We have a party every year
in our entrance hall.
**[08:16] J**
General managers of big department
stores and stuff live there.
**[08:20] J**
We let them do what they want.
**[08:22] Staff**
Can we come?
**[08:24] J**
Sure.
**[08:25] Keli**
Deputy Chief, you'll also be there, right?
**[08:28] Atri**
You won't sleep through it, right?
**[08:30] J**
I'm sure my sister will be there.
**[08:32] Atri**
But you're the building manager, aren't you?
**[08:34] J**
I don't do anything, though...
**[08:36] Moz**
Knot, why don't you come, too?
**[08:38] Knot**
Sorry, I have kids, so I'll pass.
**[08:41] Moz**
Oh, okay. Too bad.
**[08:43] Knot**
Once they're a little older, I can.
**[08:47] Lotta**
Why don't we have a party at our place?
**[08:50] Lotta**
The little ones can sleep when they get tired.
**[08:54] Lotta**
And we have a spare room,
so people can stay over.
**[08:56] Lotta**
Take the smoking outside, Jean.
**[08:59] J**
That's what she said.
**[09:00] All**
Yay!
**[09:09] All**
Cheers!
**[09:14] J**
Huh?
**[09:15] J**
Mushroomhead's here.
**[09:17] L**
Is he with your department?
**[09:18] J**
No, he works at the branch office.
**[09:20] J**
I've lent him my lighter, though.
**[09:22] L**
Oh, he smokes, too?
**[09:25] J**
Well...
**[09:27] J**
I'm going to have a smoke.
**[09:29] Rail**
Oh, he left!
**[09:30] Rail**
Now's my chance!
**[09:31] Rail**
Hello...
**[09:32] L**
Happy New Year.
**[09:34] Rail**
Right, Happy New Year.
**[09:37] Rail**
Here's a cake from Dōwā. I heard you like it.
**[09:40] L**
Oh, thank you so much!
**[09:42] L**
*Maybe a thank you for the lighter?*
**[09:44] L**
*He went to all that trouble*
**[09:46] L**
*because he knows Jean likes Dōwān cakes.*
**[09:48] L**
*He's just a like a girl!*
**[09:49] Keli**
Oh, it's the chief.
**[09:51] Keli**
He's finally here.
**[09:52] Owl**
Happy New Year.
**[09:53] Owl**
There was a lot of traffic.
**[09:56] Atri**
Knot's family is over there.
**[09:58] Moz**
It's amazing!
**[09:59] Moz**
There's a kids' corner!
**[10:02] Keli**
This means they can relax and
enjoy themselves to the hilt!
**[10:06] Owl**
Lotta...
**[10:08] L**
Oh, Department Chief!
**[10:09] Owl**
Happy New Year.
**[10:11] L**
Happy New Year.
**[10:13] Owl**
The owner of the cafe we went to last time
**[10:13] Rail**
*He's the one who had tea with Lotta before!*
**[10:15] Owl**
baked a cake they eat in Dōwā
to celebrate New Year's.
**[10:19] Owl**
I got one for you.
**[10:20] L**
Oh!
**[10:21] L**
Thank you so much!
**[10:23] Rail**
* He might be an even bigger*
* obstacle than the brother.*
**[10:27] Residents**
Happy New Year, Jean.
**[10:29] J**
Happy New Year.
**[10:31] Residents**
Feel free to smoke here.
**[10:34] J**
Thank you.
**[10:35] Residents**
We received an order from Fāmasu District.
**[10:38] Residents**
They ordered more than fifty
donut vending machines.
**[10:41] Residents**
My company got a massive order, too.
**[10:43] Residents**
From Jumōku District.
**[10:46] J**
That's good to hear.
**[10:47] Residents**
We also got one.
**[10:48] Residents**
I hope you'll continue to help us this year.
**[10:50] J**
Of course.
**[10:51] L**
Amazing!
**[10:53] Staff**
So cute!
**[11:06] Atri**
Wow, you have an impressive guest list.
**[11:09] Atri**
You say you're just the manager,
but you have a great top-floor unit.
**[11:13] Moz**
Has your family been in the business long?
**[11:15] J**
Only starting with my parents.
**[11:17] Atri**
How did they end up in this position?
**[11:19] J**
No idea.
**[11:20] J**
I never really asked.
**[11:22] Moz**
Which one is the landlord?
**[11:25] J**
I don't think he's here.
**[11:27] J**
Actually, I don't know what he looks like.
**[11:29] All**
Huh?
**[11:30] Keli**
You really don't care about details,
do you, Deputy Chief?
**[11:33] Moz**
I thought you were just a private person,
**[11:35] Moz**
but maybe you just don't concern
yourself with personal matters.
**[11:50] Mauve**
It's been a hundred years
since ACCA's birth.
**[11:55] Mauve**
It seems I must be the one
to make a move, after all.
**[12:04] Mauve**
Now, in the hundredth year
following ACCA's creation,
**[12:08] Mauve**
I expect all of you to strive
even harder in your jobs.
**[12:11] Mauve**
Do not forget you are with ACCA.
**[12:15] Mauve**
We protect the citizens' livelihood.
**[12:19] Atri**
That was no different from the other
New Year's all-hands meeting.
**[12:22] Moz**
I thought it'd be different for
ACCA's hundredth year.
**[12:25] Keli**
I hear many people will come to
the centennial from all over.
**[12:29] Atri**
Oh, right.
**[12:30] Atri**
Guess there'll be a ceremony.
**[12:32] Keli**
They might decide next term's assignments
**[12:34] Keli**
for the Inspection Department, too.
**[12:36] Keli**
Everyone will be there.
**[12:38] Moz**
I wonder if the deputy chief
will get his transfer request.
**[12:41] Atri**
I just have this feeling that
nothing will change here.
**[12:44] Keli**
Yeah.
**[12:48] Mauve**
You've all helped me numerous
times since Kororē District,
**[12:51] Mauve**
but your speed still amazes me.
**[12:53] Staff**
We were allowed to come assist you
**[12:55] Staff**
when you were appointed director-general.
**[12:59] Staff**
You said to conduct district inspections
**[13:01] Staff**
to get a lay of the land before
the centennial celebration.
**[13:05] Staff**
But in truth, the coup rumors
were involved, after all.
**[13:08] Mauve**
I did hesitate to involve you all
in this coup d'état matter.
**[13:14] Mauve**
Once you acted, those in the know
might realize what was happening.
**[13:17] Mauve**
I've been forbidden from
my own investigation.
**[13:21] Mauve**
But based on your reports,
**[13:23] Mauve**
we don't seem to be in imminent danger.
**[13:26] Mauve**
The king's health is of concern.
**[13:28] Mauve**
But as we saw the other day,
he seems well enough.
**[13:32] Mauve**
Whether a coup happens will
depend on the royal family.
**[13:36] Mauve**
As for the districts, it seems
to be business as usual.
**[13:39] Mauve**
However, there is one concern.
**[13:42] Staff**
What would that be?
**[13:45] Mauve**
When I went home,
**[13:46] Mauve**
I met with Kororē District Branch Chief
Griese and District Chief Clem.
**[13:51] Mauve**
When I sprang the topic of a
possible coup d'état on them,
**[13:54] Mauve**
there was something odd
about their reaction.
**[13:58] Mauve**
So *something* is going on.
**[14:00] Staff**
We'll look into it.
**[14:02] Mauve**
Please do.
**[14:05] Staff**
What will you do about
the Suitsu coup d'état?
**[14:08] Mauve**
I'd heard of past cover-ups,
**[14:11] Mauve**
but it's the first since I
became director-general.
**[14:15] Mauve**
Not to mention, it happened during
Otus's audit, just a while ago.
**[14:18] Staff**
What an utter failure by the Inspection
Department, given their role.
**[14:22] Mauve**
Protecting their subordinates
probably affected it.
**[14:25] Mauve**
It was to protect the Inspection Department.
**[14:28] Mauve**
He takes his job seriously.
**[14:31] Mauve**
However, he does not seem loyal to me.
**[14:35] Staff**
One more thing, ma'am.
**[14:36] Staff**
This has not been proven,
**[14:39] Staff**
but regarding Grossular's
possible involvement...
**[14:42] Mauve**
Let's hear it.
**[14:46] Gro**
I see.
**[14:47] Gro**
I'll do as you say.
**[14:52] Jean**
I never noticed I had an observer
**[14:55] Jean**
you'd assigned to me.
**[14:58] Gro**
As for why Otus realized
he was being watched...
**[15:07] Pine**
How unusual to see Chief Officer Grossular
**[15:11] Pine**
in the common room.
**[15:12] Spade**
Apparently, various things outside the
norm occur in the hundredth year.
**[15:20] Lilium**
Yes?
**[15:23] Gro**
Why did you leak information
about Crow to Otus?
**[15:27] Lilium**
I wanted him to do something.
**[15:30] Gro**
But it was careless.
**[15:32] Lilium**
My apologies.
**[15:34] Gro**
You are the one taking reckless action,
**[15:37] Gro**
Chief Officer Lilium.
**[15:40] Lilium**
I want you to share all the information
**[15:42] Lilium**
you have on Otus with us.
**[15:46] Lilium**
And I'd like us to formally debate
the appropriate course together
**[15:49] Lilium**
for ACCA's future.
**[15:53] Gro**
I shall set a time and place.
**[16:02] Lilium**
I think I won that round.
***SIGN*** Hare District
**[16:09] BC**
Bring on the dishes!
**[16:11] Staff**
Coming!
**[16:12] BC**
Please dig in, Mr. Otus.
**[16:16] J**
You can just call me Jean.
**[16:18] J**
Did you even call me that
last time, Branch Chief?
**[16:20] BC**
Now, now...
**[16:22] BC**
I'm so glad you came all the way out here.
**[16:24] BC**
We're out of beer!
***SIGN*** ACCA Inspection Department
Hare Branch Supervisor
Pulse
**[16:28] P**
You're really getting the red carpet.
**[16:31] J**
Seems that way.
**[16:33] BC**
Now, now.
**[16:34] J**
Everyone here seems cheerful.
**[16:36] P**
They're pretty happy-go-lucky, but today,
they've been over the top.
**[16:40] J**
They're full of energy.
**[16:41] P**
They have the nation's
highest life expectancy.
**[16:43] P**
The food's really good here, after all.
**[16:45] BC**
Oh, District Chief!
**[16:48] DC**
Hey, sorry to be late.
**[16:50] P**
Wow, even the district chief's here!
**[16:52] P**
What's going on?
**[16:53] DC**
Thank you for coming out here, Mr. Otus!
**[16:55] DC**
I'm Sereno, the district chief.
**[16:58] J**
Nice to meet you.
**[16:58] DC**
You cut quite an impressive
figure, even from afar.
**[17:02] DC**
But you're even more so, up close.
**[17:05] BC**
Oh, indeed!
**[17:07] J**
The people of Hare District
are far more impressive.
**[17:10] J**
Everyone's so energetic.
**[17:11] DC**
Oh, no need for that.
**[17:14] BC**
The district chief is turning 91 this year!
**[17:18] BC**
Doesn't look it, does he?
**[17:19] J**
That's amazing!
**[17:20] BC**
Compared to him, I'm still
green around the ears.
**[17:25] BC**
Many people who went through
the coup a century ago
**[17:28] BC**
are still alive in this district.
**[17:30] J**
*The coup d'état, huh?*
**[17:35] J**
*I really need to return with some information,*
**[17:37] J**
*or I'll be in trouble.*
**[17:39] DC**
So, how's it going?
**[17:41] DC**
How are things progressing?
**[17:43] J**
Progressing?
**[17:43] DC**
Oh, um, you know...
**[17:45] DC**
You're making quite the rounds,
with all your audits.
**[17:48] J**
Oh, this will be my seventh district.
**[17:51] DC**
How are things in the other districts?
**[17:53] J**
Huh?
**[17:54] DC**
Well, you wouldn't want to blabber
about that in another district!
**[17:58] BC**
Indeed!
**[18:01] Lilium**
You're the intermediary for the
rebels planning a coup d'état.
**[18:04] J**
*I see.*
**[18:05] J**
*That's the role I'm said to play.*
**[18:09] J**
*His question just now*
**[18:10] J**
* was to probe how other districts*
* feel about a coup d'état.*
**[18:15] J**
*Then, I might learn something*
**[18:16] J**
*if I act the part and talk to them.*
**[18:21] J**
*But how should I do that?*
**[18:23] J**
Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to pile so much on.
**[18:26] P**
Oh, thanks so much, Deputy Chief!
**[18:29] J**
*Should I just get them drunk?*
**[18:32] J**
*Nino's really good at making me drink.*
**[18:35] J**
Please.
**[18:36] DC**
Huh?
**[18:37] BC**
Oh, please. You first, Mr. Otus!
**[18:39] J**
But I want to pour you drinks.
**[18:41] DC**
Really?
**[18:43] DC**
Then, thank you.
**[18:53] J**
*In the end,*
**[18:55] J**
*I only got bits and pieces out of them.*
**[18:59] BC**
I can't drink anymore.
**[19:01] J**
*Though it's for the director-general,*
**[19:04] J**
* doing things I hate happening*
* to me, to someone else sucks.*
**[19:07] Nino**
Good work.
**[19:09] Nino**
Want a drink?
**[19:11] J**
No, I don't.
**[19:16] J**
*I don't know if the information's useful,*
**[19:19] J**
*but I guess it's better than no information.*
**[19:28] J**
*She isn't coming at all.*
**[19:34] Staff**
Privy Council President Qualm,
**[19:36] Staff**
His Highness, Prince Schwan,
wishes to meet with you.
**[19:42] Sch**
The portrait I had commissioned for
my coming of age is now complete.
**[19:46] Sch**
I would like to display it
**[19:48] Sch**
in the Dōwā family portrait hall.
**[19:51] Q**
Understood, Your Highness.
**[19:52] Q**
I shall have it done.
**[19:54] Sch**
I will decide where it should be put.
**[19:57] Sch**
Give me permission to enter the portrait hall.
**[20:00] Sch**
My grandfather treasures the hall
as the place he finds peace.
**[20:02] Sch**
I was to speak with you before entering it.
**[20:06] Sch**
So I'm not forbidden from entering it, am I?
**[20:10] Sch**
I will hang the portrait myself.
**[20:13] Q**
Understood, Your Highness.
**[20:15] Q**
But only you may enter the hall.
**[20:17] Q**
We, of the Privy Council,
will carry the portrait for you.
**[20:25] Sch**
It's been ten years since
I've been in this room.
**[20:29] Q**
Where should we hang the portrait?
**[20:32] Sch**
Let's put it next to this one.
**[20:34] Sch**
Grandfather always sits there, doesn't he?
**[20:38] Sch**
Let us hang the portrait where he
can easily see his successor, me.
**[20:47] Magie**
How did it go, Your Highness?
**[20:49] Sch**
I put it in a good spot.
**[20:51] Magie**
I'm happy to hear that.
**[20:53] Magie**
What should we do about the
bakery, Your Highness?
**[20:57] Sch**
I don't remember that topic being
a discussion point, Magie.
**[21:01] Magie**
Perhaps you should go to
Bādon once, Your Highness.
**[21:06] Magie**
Broadening your horizons is important.
**[21:09] Sch**
I do want to go to Bādon.
**[21:12] Sch**
As future king, there are many
things I should learn.
**[21:16] Sch**
But the Dōwā family has traditionally disliked
**[21:20] Sch**
for their women and children
to leave their home district.
**[21:24] Sch**
For that reason, I've never
had occasion to leave.
**[21:28] Sch**
All because of that tragedy
thirty-three years ago.
**[21:36] News**
*Our land, sea, and air transportation has*
**[21:39] News**
*now marked two years without accident.*
**[21:42] L**
Wow! ACCA is amazing.
**[21:44] J**
The Transportation Department is
always undergoing improvement.
**[21:47] L**
So is the Medical Department.
**[21:49] L**
The citizens' lives are being improved
in visible ways, so ACCA
**[21:53] L**
will become more popular than ever.
**[21:55] L**
Oh, toast's done!
**[21:57] J**
You made more toast?
**[21:58] L**
I mean, every day, you're buying
sandwich bread from Mugimaki.
**[22:02] L**
Eat one more slice, okay?
**[22:06] J**
*Popular, huh?*
**[22:09] News**
*Flight BD022 to Dōwā is leaving the gate.*
**[22:14] News**
* Passengers, please proceed to*
* Gate 9, as soon as possible.*
***SIGN*** The Truth Emerges in the Night Mists
**[23:55] Nino**
Next time on *ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.,*
**[23:58] Nino**
The Truth Emerges in the Night Mists.
**[24:00] Nino**
The next audit's in Dōwā?
**[24:03] Nino**
He's already on his eighth.
**[24:05] Nino**
Can't you slow down for once?
