[00:02] Rumia
    Why,
[00:03] Rumia
    Re=L?!
[00:05] Re=L
    I don't think I wanted to...
[00:08] Re=L
    But if I don't do this, I won't know
    what I'm living for anymore.
[00:17] (Flashback) Ilushia
    Help me.
[00:22] (Flashback) Glenn
    You're...
[00:26] (Flashback) Glenn
    I'm sorry. I was too late.
[00:36] Albert
    You're as resilient as ever.
[00:39] Glenn
    Looks like I owe you big.
[00:41] Albert
    If you want to thank someone, thank Fibel.
[00:43] Albert
    Without her, Reviver wouldn't have worked.
[00:48] Albert
    She has surprising mana capacity.
[00:53] Glenn
    I had a vague inkling already,
[00:55] Glenn
    but white cat, you really are amazing.
[00:59] Glenn
    Impertinent, but amazing.
[01:01] Albert
    We might be able to count on her
    in our fight to protect the princess.
[01:04] Glenn
    Idiot. It's not like that for her.
[01:10] Glenn
    Explain our situation.

[02:44] Glenn
    Jeez, that Re=L...
[02:46] Albert
    I warned you to be careful of her.
[02:50] Glenn
    Did you already suspect that
[02:51] ---
    the Researchers of Divine Wisdom
    were planning to try something?
[02:55] Albert
    Yeah. We had an investigation report
    that showed a suspicious flow of funds
[02:59] ---
    around this white alchemy research lab.
[03:03] Albert
    After probing deeper into it,
[03:05] ---
    we found a distinct connection between
    them and the director, Burks Blaumohn.
[03:09] Glenn
    Then why didn't you say that
    when you made contact with me?!
[03:13] Glenn
    I see. You were planning to use Rumia
    as bait from the very beginning.
[03:17] Glenn
    Was that the army's...
[03:19] Glenn
    No, your superiors' intention?
[03:20] Glenn
    Damn you! Why didn't you stop them?!
[03:23] Albert
    You should know why.
[03:27] Glenn
    Because Re=L's identity
    would have become known.
[03:31] Glenn
    Still, I can't forgive you
    for using Rumia as bait.
[03:34] Glenn
    Don't involve her in this mess
    for your own convenience!
[03:37] Albert
    My superiors are scumbags for ordering it,
[03:40] ---
    and for following those orders, I'm just as bad.
[03:43] Albert
    I won't deny that.
[03:44] Albert
    But at this point, I won't be merciful.
[03:47] Albert
    If Re=L intends to stand in
    our way, I'll eliminate her.
[03:51] Glenn
    No, first we need to correct
    her misunderstanding,
[03:54] Glenn
    then bring her back to us.
[03:56] Glenn
    That's my responsibility,
    since I picked her up two years ago.
[03:59] Albert
    You said her brother showed up?
[04:01] Albert
    Do you think she'll really listen to you now?
[04:04] Glenn
    I'll make her!
[04:05] Glenn
    I'll make her listen, even if I have
    to pound it into her with my fists.
[04:09] Albert
    I'm surprised you can say that.
[04:12] Albert
    You ran.
[04:14] Albert
    You abandoned your comrades
    without a single word.
[04:17] Albert
    The underlying cause for
    Re=L's betrayal is there.
[04:20] Albert
    Do you think you have the right to save Re=L?
[04:24] Albert
    Answer me, Glenn Radars.
[04:27] Glenn
    Everything you've said is a
    sound argument, damn it!
[04:30] Glenn
    Still...
[04:31] Glenn
    I'm her teacher.
[04:33] Glenn
    And right now, Re=L is one of my students!
[04:38] Albert
    You never change.
[04:39] Albert
    But perhaps that's why I continue
    to stake my hopes on you.
[04:47] Glenn
    Damn it!
[04:48] Glenn
    What was that for?!
[04:50] Albert
    With that, I'll forgive you for
    disappearing without a word.
[04:56] Glenn
    This is my...
[04:58] Albert
    I'm going to prioritize
    rescuing the princess.
[05:01] Albert
    If the situation forces me to eliminate Re=L,
    I'll shoot without hesitation.
[05:07] Albert
    And I'll hear no complaints.
[05:09] Glenn
    You're as tricky to handle as ever.
[05:16] Glenn
    You helped me out again, huh?
[05:19] Glenn
    Thanks, Sistine.
[05:25] Kash
    Huh?
[05:26] Kash
    What's Glenn-sensei up to?
[05:28] Kash
    The guy with him... Is that...
[05:34] Sisti
    Sensei?
[05:38] Sisti
    I couldn't protect Rumia.
[05:50] Burks
    Yes! Yes!
[05:52] Burks
    It's working! It's working!
[05:54] ---
    Today, Project Revive Life will be completed!
[05:57] ---
    By my own hands!
[05:59] ---
    Still, to not only gather the three
    elements this project requires,
[06:03] ---
    but to persuade one of our enemies
    and retrieve this Amplifier...
[06:07] ---
    You're quite a talented man, aren't you?
[06:10] Rainer
    You honor me with your praise.
[06:12] Rainer
    Without a researcher
    possessing original magic,
[06:15] ---
    this Amplifier becomes necessary.
[06:18] Burks
    Consider it an honor to be able
    to contribute to this research.
[06:24] Burks
    You still have the energy
    to give us that look?
[06:27] Burks
    Then let me tell you something.
[06:29] Burks
    You probably think the Researchers
    of Divine Wisdom are evil.
[06:34] Burks
    But if you ask me, the Imperial
    Family is far more evil and corrupt.
[06:40] Burks
    It's enough to make me vomit.
[06:44] Burks
    A nation governed by a royal family
    like that deserves a swift downfall.
[06:49] Eleanor
    Burks-sama, that's enough.
[06:52] Rumia
    Wh-What do all of you know?
[07:02] Rumia
    What are you...
[07:11] Rainer
    Re=L, are you all right?
[07:23] Eleanor
    I see. So that's what it was.
[07:31] (Flashback) Glenn
    A magical signal?
[07:32] (Flashback) Albert
    Yeah. After the incident
    at the magic competition,
[07:35] (Flashback) ---
    I enchanted it with a spell that can detect
    the princess's whereabouts at any time.
[07:39] (Flashback) Glenn
    So that's how you knew she was here?
[07:42] (Flashback) Albert
    No, that one was already dispelled.
[07:44] (Flashback) Albert
    But I planted another...
[07:47] (Flashback) Albert
    on Eleanor Chalet.
[07:49] Eleanor
    Impressive, Albert-sama.
[07:54] Rumia
    Sensei!
[07:58] Burks
    I won't let them interfere.
[08:00] Burks
    Instead, I'll have one of my creations
    give them a warm welcome.
[08:03] Glenn
    What, no security?
[08:06] Albert
    This will be quick if that's the case.
[08:17] Albert
    Roar, flame lion!
[08:27] Eleanor
    Did you truly think you could defeat
    them with something like that?
[08:33] Burks
    Curse you!
[08:38] Sistine
    Why did I even undergo training with Sensei?
[08:41] Sistine
    If I can't be useful at a time like this...
[08:46] Wendy
    Sistine?
[08:48] Wendy
    Where's Rumia?
[08:50] Wendy
    Something happened, didn't it?
[08:54] Glenn
    So, that chimera...
[08:56] Albert
    The military was researching them long ago.
[08:59] Albert
    But being so dangerous, they were
    supposed to have been disposed of.
[09:02] Glenn
    That Burks bastard is
    shadier than we thought.
[09:07] Glenn
    Well, I figured that wouldn't be the end of it.
[09:16] Glenn
    This one looks a bit heavy.
[09:24] Burks
    Look at how pathetic they are
    before the jeweled beast!
[09:28] Rumia
    Sensei...
[09:29] Burks
    See that, Eleanor?
[09:31] Burks
    This is the might of my magic!
[09:35] Eleanor
    We'll see.
[09:41] Glenn
    ...the five elements to elements,
[09:43] ---
    and sever the links woven
    between images and truths.
[09:47] Glenn
    Now all of creation ought to perish here,
[09:50] Glenn
    at the distant ends of the void!
[09:52] Glenn
    Blow away!
[09:56] Burks
    I-Impossible!
[09:59] Eleanor
    As expected, Glenn-sama.
[10:01] Eleanor
    That was handled splendidly, indeed.
[10:03] Burk
    Who is this Glenn Radars?
[10:06] Burk
    He's just some magic teacher!
[10:08] Burks
    I'll make him breathe his last!
[10:11] Eleanor
    Take note.
[10:14] Eleanor
    Now, we'll leave the rest
    to your younger sister.
[10:17] Rainer
    Understood.
[10:18] Eleanor
    I cannot perish here, after all.
[10:23] Kash
    What do you mean? I don't get it!
[10:26] Sisti
    Sorry. I can't say more than that.
[10:29] Sisti
    But rest assured,
[10:31] Sisti
    Sensei is going to do something about this.
[10:33] Lynn
    So you say, but...
[10:34] Kash
    Don't tell me both Rumia and
    Re=L won't be coming back.
[10:37] Wendy
    Th-That won't happen.
[10:40] Cecil
    But...
[10:41] Rodde
    Waiting here won't get us anywhere!
[10:43] Ky
    Let's go look for them!
[10:44] Theresa
    No, that's dangerous!
[10:45] Ky
    Are you suggesting we abandon them?
[10:47] Wendy
    She's saying its dangerous to search blindly.
[10:50] Wendy
    We all know that loser is a pathetic bastard,
[10:54] Wendy
    but he's still someone we can
    count on when it matters.
[10:57] Kash
    He's usually a good-for-nothing,
    moronic bastard,
[10:59] ---
    and we know he can prove
    his worth when it counts,
[11:02] Kash
    but do we have any guarantee
    that we can trust him now?
[11:07] Albert
    Re=L and the princess are up ahead.
[11:10] Glenn
    Oh, he's coming out to greet us himself?
[11:13] Burks
    You two!
[11:19] Glenn
    He's even modified his own body?
[11:23] Albert
    I'll handle this man. You go on ahead.
[11:26] Glenn
    Thanks.
[11:27] Glenn
    I'll leave this to you, then.
[11:30] Albert
    Lightning spear!
[11:36] Albert
    I'm your opponent!
[11:40] Kash
    Enough!
[11:41] Kash
    We'll go on our own!
[11:43] Gibul
    Hmph. You're all being dramatic.
[11:46] Gibul
    If Glenn-sensei left without telling
    us anything, then just leave him be.
[11:53] Kash
    That's no way to put it!
[11:55] Kash
    Aren't you worried about him?
[11:57] Sistine
    That's not it, Kash.
[11:58] Sistine
    He's saying we should trust Sensei and wait.
[12:01] Sistine
    Isn't that right, Gibul?
[12:05] Sistine
    I share your worries and fears myself,
    but if we do go after Sensei,
[12:12] Sistine
    what would we be able to do?
[12:15] Kash
    We'd be able to help him, of course!
[12:18] Sistine
    We wouldn't.
[12:20] Sistine
    We'd just be a burden on him.
[12:23] Sistine
    So I think we need to trust Sensei and wait.
[12:27] Sistine
    Please!
[12:28] Sistine
    Trust him!
[12:34] Wendy
    We get it already.
[12:37] Kash
    We're all so worried about him,
    but it might just be something silly.
[12:41] Cecil
    Besides, Sensei will be all right.
[12:44] Cecil
    After all, he's an amazing guy who took
    on all those terrorists single-handedly.
[12:48] Sistine
    Thanks.
[12:51] Wendy
    Sistine, why are you crying?
[12:54] Sistine
    Oh, it's nothing.
[12:59] Rainer
    It's almost complete.
[13:03] Rainer
    Those two will be here soon.
[13:05] Rainer
    You'll defeat them, won't you?
[13:08] Rainer
    For my sake.
[13:09] Re=L
    Of course.
[13:11] Re=L
    That's my reason for living.
[13:13] Rainer
    Good girl.
[13:20] Rumia
    Sensei...
[13:21] Glenn
    Sorry, Rumia.
[13:23] Glenn
    I wound up getting here pretty late.
[13:26] Rumia
    I'm so glad you're safe.
[13:31] Glenn
    Jeez, worrying about me at a time like this?
[13:35] Glenn
    Re=L! Don't just stand there watching!
[13:38] Glenn
    Don't you have anything to say
    after what you did to Rumia?!
[13:42] Glenn
    Hey, you there.
[13:43] Glenn
    You've put my precious student
    into an awfully enticing
[13:46] ---
    and rather fetishist get-up, haven't you? Huh?!
[13:50] Rainer
    That's Burks-san's taste.
[13:52] Glenn
    Quit your stupid babbling!
[13:54] Re=L
    Glenn, don't come any closer to my brother.
[13:58] Rainer
    Re=L... That's my good little sister.
[14:01] Rainer
    Don't let him get in my way.
[14:03] Re=L
    Got it.
[14:04] Re=L
    I beseech creation,
    grant unto my hands a great blade.
[14:11] Glenn
    Hey, Re=L.
[14:12] Glenn
    Do you seriously want to fight?
[14:14] Glenn
    I think your prank's gone
    far enough, hasn't it?
[14:16] Re=L
    Say what you will.
[14:18] Re=L
    I'll fight for my brother.
[14:20] Glenn
    You idiot!
[14:21] Glenn
    You're being tricked!
[14:23] Glenn
    Your brother died two years ago!
[14:25] Re=L
    Be quiet!
[14:26] Glenn
    The dead can't come back to life, idiot!
[14:28] Re=L
    But he's alive!
[14:29] Re=L
    Why would you say that?!
[14:30] Glenn
    Because I'm the one who can say it!
[14:32] Re=L
    Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
[14:35] Glenn
    Damn, it's no use.
[14:37] Glenn
    She's not listening.
[14:39] Glenn
    What do I do?
[14:42] Glenn
    Come, Re=L!
[14:43] Glenn
    Bring it on!
[14:47] Glenn
    That's right.
[14:48] Glenn
    It's my fault for not telling her the truth,
    and for running away without her.
[14:53] Glenn
    Re=L, please.
[14:54] Glenn
    Listen to me!
[14:57] Rumia
    Re=L! Stop this!
[14:59] Rumia
    Don't do this to Sensei!
[15:01] Rumia
    He's a precious teacher,
    to both me and Sistine!
[15:05] Rumia
    And you're our precious friend, too!
[15:09] Rumia
    That's why, back then, we...
[15:12] Glenn
    Now!
[15:13] Glenn
    Hey, Re=L.
[15:15] Glenn
    You really love your brother, don't you?
[15:18] Re=L
    Nii-san is my everything.
[15:20] Re=L
    I've decided to live for him.
[15:34] Glenn
    I'm jealous that he could make his
    own sister say things like that.
[15:38] Re=L
    What are you trying to say?
[15:40] Glenn
    I'd love to grow closer
    to your wonderful brother.
[15:44] Glenn
    So, what's your brother's name?
[15:46] Re=L
    Why would you ask that now?
[15:48] Rainer
    Re=L, hurry up and finish him!
[15:51] Glenn
    Come on, just tell me his name.
    If you can say it, I'll back down.
[15:54] Rainer
    Don't listen to him!
[15:56] Glenn
    Come on, hurry up and say it.
[15:58] Re=L
    His name...
[16:01] Glenn
    What's wrong?
[16:02] Re=L
    My brother's name...
[16:06] Re=L
    Ow.
[16:08] Re=L
    My head hurts...
[16:10] Re=L
    Nii-san's... name?
[16:13] Re=L
    What was his name?
[16:15] Rainer
    What does the name matter?!
[16:16] Rainer
    I'm your brother!
[16:20] Glenn
    Let the plate of order tip to starboard.
[16:32] Glenn
    It was a risky bet.
[16:34] Re=L
    O-Ow...
[16:35] Glenn
    It's futile.
[16:37] Glenn
    This isn't my strength. It's gravity.
[16:40] Re=L
    Gravity Control?
[16:46] Glenn
    Just sit tight for a bit.
[16:47] Rainer
    Get away from my little sister!
[16:49] Glenn
    Shut up!
[16:50] Glenn
    Quiet, you fake!
[16:58] Rainer
    Stop it!
[17:02] Glenn
    You may be acting like her brother,
    but the moment you called her Re=L,
[17:06] ---
    you proved you were fake!
[17:09] Re=L
    Project Revive Life...
[17:13] ---
    Project Re=L...
[17:19] ---
    That's right.
[17:21] ---
    My brother's name was Sion.
[17:26] (Flashback) Rainer
    I decided to give Ilushia's
    copy the name "Re=L."
[17:31] (Flashback) Ilushia
    Re=L...
[17:33] (Flashback) Sion
    Rainer, let's stop this.
[17:35] (Flashback) Sion
    How many innocent people have we
    sacrificed just to create this one child?
[17:40] (Flashback) Sion
    Let's leave this organization already.
[17:41] (Flashback) Sion
    I have a plan to do it.
[17:43] (Flashback) Sion
    The Imperial Court Mage Corps'—
[17:48] (Flashback) Sion
    Rainer?
[17:51] (Flashback) Sion
    Ilushia, run!
[17:55] (Flashback) Rainer
    Ilushia, I don't need you anymore, either.
[17:58] (Flashback) Rainer
    I already have your three elements in hand.
[18:01] (Flashback) Rainer
    You can sleep alongside Sion.
[18:04] Re=L
    That's right...
[18:06] Re=L
    I...
[18:07] Re=L
    I'm...
[18:09] Rainer
    Two years ago, Sion betrayed us and reported
    us to the Imperial Court Mage Corps,
[18:15] ---
    and they raided our research lab.
[18:18] Glenn
    Yeah, I know.
[18:20] Glenn
    I was the one in contact
    with Sion at the time.
[18:23] (Flashback) Sion
    Project Revive Life...
[18:25] (Flashback) Sion
    It can be completed with my original spell.
[18:29] (Flashback) Sion
    If I leave the organization, they
    won't be able to continue with it.
[18:33] (Flashback) Sion
    Glenn-san, I have a favor to ask.
[18:35] (Flashback) Sion
    I have friends I want to save.
[18:37] (Flashback) Sion
    Friends who have shared my pains
    and joys since we were young.
[18:41] (Flashback) Glenn
    What are their names?
[18:42] (Flashback) Sion
    Ilushia and Rainer.
[18:44] Glenn
    After that, we lost contact with him,
    so we raided the research lab,
[18:48] ---
    but Sion was already dead.
[18:52] Glenn
    So was the heavily wounded Ilushia.
[18:56] Glenn
    I then protected the young
    girl who had inherited
[18:59] ---
    her Astral Code, the memories she had
    up to the moment of her death.
[19:07] Re=L
    That's me.
[19:10] Rainer
    I thought I altered your memories to suit my
    needs before you escaped the research lab.
[19:16] Rainer
    I guess junk is nothing but junk.
[19:18] Glenn
    Junk?
[19:20] Glenn
    Hey, you cut that out.
[19:21] Rainer
    Junk is junk.
[19:23] Rainer
    I don't need her anymore.
[19:24] Glenn
    Why, you!
[19:26] Glenn
    Ferocious thunder emperor, pay heed,
    and pierce with your brilliant lance of light!
[19:36] Rainer
    Yes, because I have these girls.
[19:41] Glenn
    No way!
[19:43] Rainer
    Too bad for you.
[19:45] Rainer
    These girls are perfect.
[19:47] Rainer
    I've eliminated troublesome
    emotions from them.
[19:50] Rainer
    They're my very own puppets!
[19:52] Rainer
    Now, go! Put an end to them!
[20:16] Glenn
    Whew, that was close.
[20:18] Re=L
    Why are you protecting me?
[20:21] Re=L
    I don't have anything.
[20:23] Glenn
    Shut up, you idiot!
[20:25] Glenn
    Why would I go out of my way to
    protect someone who had nothing?!
[20:30] Re=L
    But I'm just a doll.
[20:33] Glenn
    Huh?
[20:34] Glenn
    A doll wouldn't make that face.
[20:37] Glenn
    White cat, Rumia, and the rest of our
    class doesn't see you that way, either!
[20:43] Rumia
    That's right, Re=L!
[20:45] Glenn
    There, you see?
[20:46] Re=L
    But I did cruel things to you.
[20:50] Re=L
    And to Sistine and everyone else...
[20:52] Glenn
    Then go apologize to everyone later!
[20:56] Rumia
    Sensei!
[20:57] Glenn
    Ow!
[21:01] Glenn
    Live for something you hold dear!
[21:04] Glenn
    Meaning, value, reasons...
[21:07] Glenn
    Don't strain the brain you don't have
    thinking about those things, idiot!
[21:11] Re=L
    What I hold dear?
[21:17] Re=L
    Sorry, my sisters.
[21:21] Re=L
    It may be selfish, but I'll
    live for all of you, as well.
[21:26] Re=L
    Farewell.
[21:38] Rainer
    Th-This can't be!
[21:40] Rainer
    Ferocious thunder emperor, pay heed,
    and pierce with your brilliant—
[21:45] Glenn
    Too bad. This is my specialty.
[21:53] Glenn
    Sorry, Rumia.
[21:54] Glenn
    Close your eyes.
[21:56] Glenn
    It'll be over in a second.
[21:58] Rumia
    That look...
[21:59] Rumia
    It's just like when I first met him.
[22:02] Rainer
    Please...
[22:03] Rainer
    Don't kill me!
[22:05] Glenn
    Bye.
[22:08] Glenn
    You thought I would?
[22:09] Glenn
    No way, idiot.
[22:12] Glenn
    Well, anyway...
[22:13] Glenn
    Keep your paws off my students!
[22:26] Alber
    Die.
[22:27] Alber
    We won't even read you your last rites.
[22:29] Alber
    Repent for eternity as you burn in
    the crimson flames of purgatory.
[22:33] Burks
    No way...
[22:35] Burks
    I was chosen by Heaven!
[22:45] Sistine
    Rumia!
[22:54] Sistine
    Re=L!
[23:05] Gibul
    Well, in theory, the best
    way to receive the ball
[23:07] ---
    can be determined by its
    angle from the ground.
[23:12] Albert
    Indeed, this is a precious sight.
[23:14] Glenn
    Right?
[23:15] Glenn
    Swimsuits are the best.
[23:17] Glenn
    And most of them have matured nicely.
[23:19] Albert
    Who was talking about swimsuits?
[23:22] Albert
    This is the scene you wanted
    to protect, isn't it, Glenn?
[23:27] Glenn
    Who can say?
[23:31] Eleanor
    Yes, we have it.
