Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) 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. [05:39] News     Representatives from Peshi and Rokkusu [05:41] News     have been holding a press conference. [05:44] News     While Peshi has focused on     identifying the accident's cause, SIGN    Rokkusu's goal is comprehensive discussion. SIGN    Their differences in opinion     are creating a rift. [05:55] News     Now, a month after the accident, [05:57] News     Peshi and Rokkusu talks     have hit another impasse. [06:01] News     A follow-up interview with Rokkusu Branch     Chief Grossular has attracted attention. SIGN    We must not burden the families SIGN    of victims with quibbling over     who bears responsibility. [06:12] Gro     The Rokkusu district chief agrees [06:14] Gro     and will soon release a statement. [06:17] Gro     I also believe we should     work toward bringing [06:20] Gro     the national rail under ACCA. [06:22] Gro     ACCA's duty is to protect the     livelihood of all citizens. SIGN    ACCA is for the people. [06:30] News     After announcing that Rokkusu     will bear full responsibility, [06:34] News     the Rokkusu district chief is departing     for his tour to visit the victims' family. [06:38] News     Branch Chief Grossular, said to have aided     these developments, accompanies him. [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.
