[00:05] Iku
    I'll answer your question...
[00:08] Iku
    You wanted to know why I'm here?
[00:11] Iku
    I came to take you, Yatori,
[00:16] Iku
    from this land without a future.
SIGN    A Stormy Encounter
[01:59] Kusu
    Ikta.
[02:00] Kusu
    Ikta!
[02:04] Kusu
    Wake up, Ikta!
[02:07] Iku
    What do you want, Kus?
[02:09] Kusu
    You're boarding a ship to go to an island,
[02:11] ---
    so you can't just run
    there at the last second!
[02:17] Girl
    Yatori-sama!
[02:18] ---
    Are you headed for the
     high-level officer exams?
[02:22] Yato
    Yes. I haven't seen all of
     you since our graduation.
[02:27] Person
    Her relatives live in the east of Katjvarna.
[02:31] Person
    The eastern garrison is fighting
    the Kioka Republic's invasion, right?
[02:36] Person
    They're having a hard time
    with the new enemy forces,
[02:39] ---
    but the garrison's commander is the famous
[02:41] ---
    Lieutenant General Hazaf Rikan.
[02:44] Ikuta
    Every hero dies from overwork.
[02:48] Ikuta
    You should get those
     relatives out of there.
[02:51] Ikuta
    That place is going to fall to the
    Kioka army in less than a month.
[02:55] Girl
    Ikta Solork?
[02:57] Girl
    Hey, what do you mean by that?
[03:02] Iku
    Exactly what I said.
[03:03] Guy
    Lieutenant General Rikan's
    garrison is fighting
[03:06] ---
    with everything they have right now!
[03:08] Rando
    A defeatist like you would never
    understand, though, would you?
[03:16] Iku
    You've got me there.
[03:18] Guy
    How dare you!
[03:22] Yato
    Now, now.
     Calm down, everyone.
[03:24] Yato
    It's almost time, so I must get going.
[03:28] Yato
    I'm relieved that you actually showed up,
[03:30] Yato
    and also that you didn't
    slack on the first exams.
[03:35] Iku
    Well, you said you'd get me
    an easy job as a librarian
[03:38] ---
    at the national library with
    your family connections.
[03:43] Yatori
    So, you think it will fall?
[03:46] Iku
    The garrison may have defense,
    but they're not an offensive threat.
[03:51] Iku
    All because the emperor and cabinet have
    no real intention of going to war—
[03:55] Yato
    That's enough.
[03:57] Iku
    Still, asking me to take the second exam
    and rig it so you do well?
[04:02] Iku
    It's pretty sneaky, and totally unlike you.
[04:04] Yato
    As the eldest daughter of the Igsem family,
[04:06] ---
    I need the honor of passing
     at the top of my class.
[04:10] Ato
    I hear that my rival in this race
    is the Remeon family's youngest,
[04:14] ---
    so it's best to be cautious.
[04:16] Ikuta
    Yeah, yeah, I'll do my best.
[04:20] Iku
    This is the last time I want to
    have anything to do with the army.
[04:26] Yato
    Right. That's the kind of guy
    you've always been.
[04:35] Haro
    Igsem?
[04:37] Haro
    Like the Field Marshal?!
[04:39] Haro
    M-My name is Haroma Becker.
[04:43] Haro
    This is my partner, the water spirit Mil.
[04:46] Haro
    It's nice to meet you,
    Igsem-san and Solork-san.
[04:50] Yato
    People using my family name
    makes me queasy,
[04:53] ---
    so just Yatori is fine.
[04:55] Haro
    In that case, please call me Haro.
[04:58] Yato
    As you wish, Haro.
[05:01] Yato
    You're trying to become a combat medic?
[05:03] Haro
    That's exactly right.
[05:05] Haro
    Embarrassingly enough, this is
    my third attempt at the exams.
[05:08] Matt
    Ikta Solork.
[05:10] Matt
    What are you doing here?
[05:12] Iku
    So you passed, too?
[05:14] Yato
    Matthew Tetdrich.
[05:16] ---
    His partner is the wind sprite Tsu.
[05:18] Yato
    He also went to school with us.
[05:21] Yato
    If you've heard of the Tetdrichs,
    let him know.
[05:24] ---
    It'd make him very happy.
[05:26] matt
    What kind of introduction is that?!
[05:28] ---
    Whether one's heard of us or not,
[05:29] Matt
    we Tetdrichs have been a distinguished
    military family for generations!
[05:33] Haro
    T-Tetdrich, is it?
[05:37] Haro
    Um, I think I've heard of it,
     or maybe not...
[05:43] Iku
    Oh, come on, Matthew.
[05:45] Iku
    We can't tell if you're famous or not,
    and that's the perfect position for you.
[05:48] Iku
    It's not like comedians need
    to be known everywhere.
[05:50] Haro
    Um... Is Ikta-san from
    a noble family, as well?
[05:51] Mat
    Who're you calling a comedian?!
[05:53] Ikuta
    Solork is the name of an orphanage.
[05:58] Iku
    Not only am I a commoner,
[06:00] ---
    I don't even have a father or mother.
[06:02] Iku
    I was found passed out
    on the roadside
[06:04] ---
    by Kus, who used to work at
    the Solork Orphanage at the time.
[06:08] Haro
    I'm so sorry...
[06:10] Ikuta
    Please call me Ikkun,
    as a mark of our friendship.
[06:13] Haro
    O-Okay... Um, my hand...
[06:15] Iku
    Oh? It appears that your
    fingers are a bit rough.
[06:19] Iku
    Do you do housework often?
[06:21] Haro
    I have five younger brothers,
    and I'm the oldest sister...
[06:25] Haro
    Please don't pinch my ear lobe!
[06:27] ---
    Please leave my hair alone!
[06:30] Yato
    Try to pick up girls
    some other time, Ikta.
[06:33] Yato
    Are you all right?
[06:35] Yato
    Ikta has this bad habit.
[06:37] ---
    If you don't stop him,
    he'll fondle your boobs
[06:39] ---
    and try to take you to bed.
[06:40] Yato
    B-Boobs?!
[06:44] Tor
    It looks like I'm in this room, too.
[06:46] ---
    May I come in?
[06:48] Iku
    Of course you can't.
[06:49] Tor
    Huh?
[06:50] Iku
    Go back to your own turf, pretty boy.
[06:53] Yato
    Please, come in.
[06:55] ---
    We were all just introducing ourselves.
[06:58] Tor
    My name is Torway Remeon.
[07:00] ---
    This is the wind sprite Saphy.
[07:03] ---
    Pleased to meet you.
[07:04] Tor
    It's a difficult exam,
     but let's all do our best.
[07:08] Yato
    I see... So you're...
[07:12] Y
    I'm Yatorishino Igsem.
[07:14] Y
    This is Shia, my partner.
[07:16] Y
    That's all I need to say, isn't it?
[07:19] T
    I see. That flame-colored hair...
[07:22] ---
    You're the Igsem family's eldest!
[07:25] M
    Don't get cocky, you two.
[07:28] M
    The Igsem infantry and
    the Remeon gunners
[07:31] ---
    aren't where it's at anymore!
[07:33] M
    Don't get haughty because
     your families are famous!
[07:36] T
    Um, who are you?
[07:40] M
    Matthew Tetdrich!
[07:41] M
    Don't forget that name,
    youngest of the Remeons!
[07:44] T
    I'm good at remembering people's names.
[07:47] T
    May I call you Ma-kun?
[07:49] M
    Huh?!
[07:51] T
    And you are?
[07:52] M
    There's no need for two hunters
    at one hunting ground.
[07:56] M
    You were brought before appearance court,
    and they declared you guilty!
[08:00] ---
    The charges were:
[08:02] ---
    being too sexy!
[08:04] T
    Uh...
[08:05] T
    It is written in the scriptures
    of the Aledelans...
[08:07] T
    Suffer not a hottie to live!
[08:11] Y
    That could get you tried
     for heresy, you know.
[08:15] Y
    This is Ikta Solork.
[08:17] Y
    He habitually tries to scare off
     any handsome man he sees.
[08:20] Y
    Don't let it bother you.
[08:21] T
    Are you two friends?
[08:24] Y
    We've just known each other
    for a long time.
[08:27] T
    Nice to meet you, Ikta.
[08:29] T
    May I call you Ikkun?
[08:30] I
    Nope!
[08:31] I
    She's the only one who can call me that.
[08:34] H
    Huh? Me?
[08:36] I
    Her name is Haroma Becker.
[08:38] I
    She wants to command a medic squad
[08:41] I
    and has five younger brothers at home.
[08:44] I
    She's a very good girl. I guarantee it.
[08:46] H
    Th-That introduction's likely to
     cause a misunderstanding...
[08:50] T
    I see.
[08:52] T
    I get it now.
[08:53] H
    What do you "get"?
[08:56] H
    Solork-san!
[08:57] Y
    Now that we've finished our introductions,
[08:59] Y
    let's make ourselves at home.
[09:05] M
    Damn it! I lost again!
[09:07] M
    Why did I lose?
[09:09] T
    Um, I think it was...
[09:11] I
    Twenty-one moves ago,
    my dear friend Matthew.
[09:15] I
    When you forced your riflemen
    into the enemy lines.
[09:18] T
    You memorized the whole match, Ikkun?
[09:21] T
    You can't even see the board from there.
[09:24] I
    Don't call me that!
[09:26] H
    Tea's ready, everyone.
[09:32] Y
    It's rocking a lot.
[09:34] H
    Thank you, Yatori-san.
[09:37] Y
    So you're playing Military Chess, huh?
[09:40] Y
    How many times did Matthew lose?
[09:41] M
    Why are you assuming I lost?!
[09:44] Y
    Does it matter?
[09:46] Y
    A master chess player isn't
    necessarily a master general.
[09:48] I
    That's right.
[09:50] I
    And if actual soldiers are playing,
[09:51] I
    it should be blindfolded chess.
[09:53] T
    Ikkun, why is th—
[09:56] I
    No calling me Ikkun!
[09:58] I
    In a real battle,
[10:00] ---
    can a general get a
    bird's-eye-view of the battlefield?
[10:02] T
    No, most of the time he has to estimate
[10:05] ---
    the location of the enemy
    based off limited information.
[10:08] Y
    Even the soldiers under his command
    may not faithfully execute his orders.
[10:13] I
    That's right.
[10:14] I
    What a soldier needs is imagination,
[10:16] ---
    which allows him to use fragmented
    information to envision the whole.
[10:21] I
    Blindfolded chess can at least
    create the base for that.
[10:25] H
    Have some tea before it gets cold.
[10:26] I
    Thank you, Haro!
[10:29] M
    Ow, that's hot!
[10:32] Y
    Is someone there?
[10:37] Y
    Are you okay?
[10:39] Y
    You don't look like
    you're here for the exam.
[10:42] Gi
    E-Excuse me!
[10:45] Y
    There shouldn't be any
    civilians aboard this ship.
[10:49] Y
    What do you think, Ikta?
[10:52] I
    Five to six years before
    she's ready to eat,
[10:55] I
    and maybe fifteen before
    she's fully ripe?
[10:58] Y
    I wasn't asking about
     your personal preferences.
[11:09] H
    Wh-What was that?
[11:17] Y
    Grab only what you really need
    and head to the deck.
[11:20] Gu
    Obey the sailors' orders
    and get on the lifeboats!
[11:24] Y
    Everyone, stay calm and move forward.
[11:26] M
    Did we really run aground?
[11:28] M
    Seriously?
[11:32] Y
    What a terrible storm.
[11:33] I
    So, who's got the bad karma?
[11:34] Background
    Get the ones here on the lifeboats!
[11:36] Y
    You, without question.
[11:38] Gu
    Okay, lower it!
[11:44] M
    Y-You're kidding me!
[11:46] M
    In this storm?
[11:48] M
    Ma-kun, get to the right.
[11:50] M
    And Becker-san, to the left.
[11:51] I
    Yatori, that's the girl.
[12:05] I
    That's not good. She's going to die.
[12:07] I
    Kus, if you can still see her,
    light her up with your high-beam.
[12:11] Sprite
    Ikta, it's dangerous.
[12:13] I
    Please.
[12:20] Y
    Ikta?
[12:22] Y
    If you let go, I'll come back to haunt you.
[12:25] Y
    Hey, Ikta!
[12:26] M
    That's crazy!
[12:26] T
    Ikkun!
[12:30] S
    Oh...
[12:32] S
    Am I going to die here?
[12:37] S
    I still have things to accomplish...
[13:03] H
    Are you awake?
[13:06] S
    Who are you?
[13:08] Y
    Princess, forgive us for
    meeting you in such a manner.
[13:13] S
    Raise your heads.
[13:15] S
    Tell me what's going on.
[13:18] Y
    As you wish.
[13:26] Y
    The six of us barely made it
    on a lifeboat in time,
[13:29] Y
    and now we have sought refuge
    in a cave by the sea.
[13:34] S
    I see.
[13:36] S
    It wasn't a dream, after all.
[13:41] S
    You kept me warm, then?
[13:44] Y
    Haroma Becker and I, Yatorishino Igsem,
    did so without your permission,
[13:49] Y
    but we were left with no choice.
[13:51] Y
    We beg your forgiveness and mercy.
[13:52] H
    A-And mercy!
[13:55] S
    I am deeply grateful for your kindness.
[14:00] S
    You said your name was
    Yatorishino Igsem, correct?
[14:04] H
    Yes, ma'am.
[14:05] S
    It was eight years ago when I visited
    your home along with the emperor.
[14:13] Y
    You remembered?
[14:15] Y
    You were only four years old then...
[14:19] S
    And you were ten.
[14:22] S
    You didn't recognize me.
[14:25] Y
    Your growth surpassed my expectations.
[14:31] Y
    If not for the Eternal Spirit Tree's ring,
[14:33] Y
    I wouldn't have been sure.
[14:36] S
    Indeed.
[14:37] S
    I am the third princess
    of the Katjvarna Empire,
[14:41] S
    Chamille Kitra Katjvanmaninik.
[14:46] S
    Where are the others?
[14:48] Y
    They've gone out to
    survey our surroundings.
[14:51] M
    P-Princess,
[14:53] ---
    my name is Matthew Tetdrich.
[14:56] M
    May I-I... speak?
[14:59] S
    Your family commands
    a garrison in Ebdorck, right?
[15:03] S
    Speak freely.
[15:04] M
    I-If you've sufficiently warmed,
[15:08] M
    may I have my jacket back?
[15:12] S
    Oh, my apologies.
[15:14] H
    Ah, d-don't!
[15:16] H
    You're in your underwear
     right now, Princess.
[15:24] T
    What was a princess doing on our ship?
[15:29] I
    I think it's better not to pry into
     the imperial family's matters.
[15:38] I
    You'll end up a mess,
    and that's if you're lucky.
[15:41] I
    Still, I'm impressed.
[15:44] I
    The ship was about to sink,
[15:46] I
    and you still brought that along.
[15:50] T
    You mean the air gun?
[15:52] T
    It's my third most important belonging,
     after my comrades' lives and Saphy.
[15:58] I
    Anyway, I'm hungry.
[16:03] I
    No way...
[16:04] I
    Even if we were swept by
    the currents, we can't be...
[16:08] I
    We can see the empire's eastern border
    to the west from our position.
[16:13] I
    Which means...
[16:14] Y
    This is Kioka Republic territory, then?!
[16:19] M
    We're in enemy territory?
[16:22] I
    I think it's important that
    we're all on the same page now.
[16:28] I
    We've got two choices:
[16:30] I
    One, surrender to the Kioka army,
    and ask to be treated as prisoners of war.
[16:34] I
    That one's pretty safe.
[16:36] I
    The other is to break through the border
    and return to the empire.
[16:41] I
    That one's a gamble.
[16:43] M
    Even if we're taken prisoner,
    our safety is assured, right?
[16:48] Y
    That's being too optimistic.
[16:49] Y
    There are people here who can be
    used as diplomatic bargaining chips.
[16:54] H
    Not just the princess,
[16:56] H
    but Yatori-san and Torway-san, too, right?
[17:00] Y
    Well, basically, even if
    we're taken prisoner here—
[17:04] S
    Never.
[17:06] S
    I will never be taken prisoner!
[17:08] S
    I don't have time to waste here.
[17:11] S
    We must break through
    the borders, no matter what.
[17:14] S
    I'll give you any reward you—
[17:17] I
    Shut your mouth for a moment, Princess.
[17:20] I
    No matter how much you scream,
[17:22] I
    you won't make the impossible possible.
[17:26] I
    Imperial history alone should be enough
[17:31] I
    to teach you tha—
[17:35] Y
    Your Highness, I'm terribly sorry.
[17:39] Y
    Please, forgive him just this once.
[17:41] Y
    He was the one who jumped
    into the sea to save you.
[17:49] S
    You were...
[17:51] S
    Th-That's enough.
[17:52] S
    Let him go.
[17:54] S
    You're right. I'd lost control of myself.
[17:58] Y
    Be thankful for Her Highness's mercy,
[18:01] Y
    and go outside to calm yourself a little.
[18:03] I
    Sure thing.
[18:08] Y
    That's not like you.
[18:10] Y
    The Ikta Solork I know is a sarcastic ass,
    but he never gets worked up like that.
[18:16] I
    I didn't think that just because she's
     a member of the imperial family
[18:21] I
    it would be so infuriating
    to see her lose control.
[18:25] Y
    So that was it.
[18:28] I
    I thought I'd given up
    on it long ago, though.
[18:31] Y
    This may be rude to say,
[18:34] ---
    but Princess Chamille is acting her age.
[18:37] I
    That's right.
[18:38] I
    She's only lived two-thirds
     as long as I have,
[18:42] I
    so why am I expecting so much from her
[18:44] ---
    just for being part of the imperial family?
[18:47] I
    Oh, can I borrow your main gauche?
[18:51] Y
    Chip it, and I'll kill you.
[18:57] M
    It's been two days since
    I've had a real meal!
[19:00] H
    Not bad, considering we just
    grabbed what we could find!
[19:03] Y
    We can't have a constructive discussion
    on an empty stomach.
[19:08] I
    Yup.
[19:09] I
    I got a huge haul today,
    even if I do say so myself.
[19:15] H
    The meat is so good!
[19:17] M
    My air gun is...
[19:21] I
    Princess.
[19:29] S
    As for what we do now,
[19:31] S
    it's true that my cries
    will make no difference.
[19:35] S
    We cross the border by ourselves,
[19:37] S
    or surrender and become prisoners of war.
[19:39] S
    I want you to think long and hard
     before making a decision.
[19:44] Y
    The princess is right.
[19:46] Y
    They won't find us easily here.
[19:49] Y
    We can take a day or two to think.
[19:57] Y
    All set here.
[19:58] Y
    Next is...
[20:05] S
    Is there anything I can help with?
[20:08] I
    No, there's no need.
[20:10] I
    Please, relax.
[20:12] S
    I-I see.
[20:14] M
    Your air gun has a long barrel.
[20:17] T
    I need to aim as far as possible.
[20:23] S
    Solork, is there anything I can do?
[20:28] I
    Can you help me?
[20:30] I
    I'm weaving these.
[20:35] S
    A net?
[20:37] I
    No, something that's a much bigger
    necessity for a human lifestyle.
[20:44] S
    Is this a bed?
[20:46] I
    A navy-style bed.
[20:49] I
    It's called a hammock.
[20:51] I
    It's great once you get used to it.
[20:55] I
    Try it out!
[21:01] I
    Wow!
[21:03] I
    You got on it all right.
[21:04] S
    C-Can you really sleep on these?
[21:07] I
    Try relaxing.
[21:30] S
    I see.
[21:32] S
    This is indeed very relaxing.
[21:34] I
    A good day starts with a good bed!
[21:42] S
    Solork, what's that?
[21:54] I
    That's a blimp.
[21:55] I
    A Kioka air unit.
[21:57] S
    Kioka's new weapon, the one that caused
    massive damage to the eastern region?
[22:02] I
    Yes,
[22:03] I
    but it's alone, which means
    it's on a scouting mission.
[22:07] I
    We'll head into the caves for
    a while so it doesn't find us.
[22:20] S
    I can't take it anymore.
[22:30] S
    I'm not used to doing it outside...
[22:33] I
    Is someone there?
[22:39] ---
    Wake up, everyone.
[22:40] ---
    Something's tripped the warning line.
[22:46] I
    Torway, get your weapon ready.
[22:49] T
    I'm ready whenever.
[22:50] H
    Huh? Where's the princess?
[22:53] Y
    If we don't come back,
[22:55] Y
    surrender to them immediately.
[23:01] Gu
    What's wrong, Irick?
[23:02] Gu
    I heard something over there.
[23:05] Gu
    If someone's there,
    put your hands up and come out.
[23:08] Gu
    We have guns.
[23:14] Gu
    There!
[23:15] Gu
    Hey, stop right there!
[23:19] Gu
    Solork?
[23:23] Narr
    Year 905 on the Imperial Calendar.
[23:27] Narr
    This man, Ikta Solork,
[23:28] Narr
    would later come to be known
[23:33] ---
    as the Invincible Lazy General.
[23:37] ---
    Next time: "An Unwanted Medal of Honor."
