    Mother?
[00:06] Isla
    What are you two doing here?!
[00:08] Maria
    We don't know!
[00:09] Caria
    We were just with our king.
[00:12] Caria
    H-How did we...
[00:22] Takuto
    They vanished?
[00:24] Takuto
    That shouldn't be possible.
[00:27] Takuto
    Caria, can you hear me?
[00:31] Takuto
    Caria, Maria, Isla!

[02:50] Isla
    O great and mighty king!
[02:52] Isla
    Our leader, Ira Takuto!

[02:58] Maria
    Is everything okay?
[02:59] Caria
    What should we do?
[03:02] Isla
    You needn't worry.
[03:04] Isla
    Let's start by getting out of here.
[03:26] Maria
    Huh?
[03:28] Isla
    No way!
[03:38] Flamin
    Sucks for you!
[03:40] Flamin
    I ain't going to die here!
[03:43] Isla
    How?!
[03:44] Isla
    I'm certain I killed you!
[03:47] Flamin
    You can't kill me now.

    Hell, I'm already dead anyway!

SIGN    Gyahahahaha! You thought you won,

[04:15] Flamin

    Fool!
[04:22] Isla
    Be quiet!
[04:23] Maria
    Mother...
[04:25] Isla
    My, my, you're such a worrywart.
[04:28] Isla
    It's all right.
[04:29] Isla
    I won't allow him to lay a hand on you two.
[04:33] Flamin
    How tear-jerking.
[04:35] Flamin
    Such heartwarming love.
[04:38] Flamin
    Don't be so mad now.
[04:40] Flamin
    Let's enjoy this time like
    the dumbasses we are.
[04:45] Isla
    Wha?!
[04:46] Flamin
    I've been through this
    over and over like a fool.
[04:51] Flamin
    Always this same shitty script!
[04:54] Isla
    What are you two doing?!
[04:56] Isla
    Take cover behind me!
[04:58] Maria
    H-Huh? It's not us!
[05:01] Caria
    How?! My legs are moving on their own!
[05:03] Isla
    Stop!
[05:04] Isla
    Please, get back!
[05:08] Flamin
    Can't fight it, can you?!
[05:10] Flamin
    Can't defy it, can you?!
[05:12] Isla
    Is this one of those RPG mechanics
    Master warned me about?!
[05:16] Flamin
    Now you get a VIP seat to watch
    as those brats die right here!
[05:24] Takuto
    After the fight against Flamin 
    in the Brave Questus RPG...
[05:32] Maria
    Mother... Wh-What do we do?!
[05:35] Caria
    H-Help us!
[05:39] Isla
    Don't you dare think you
    can fetter me with this!
[05:43] Flamin
    Struggling won't help you!
[05:47] Flamin
    I'll tell you something good though.
[05:49] Flamin
    I call this goddamned mechanic
[05:52] Flamin
    a "scripted event."
[05:56] Maria
    I'm scared!
[05:57] Caria
    No! I don't want to die!
[05:59] Isla
    It's all right.
[06:00] Isla
    I promise, I promise I'll save you!
[06:08] Flamin
    Ahh, every last one of you are damn fools!
[06:11] Flamin
    You all mistakenly believe that you're
    acting of your own damn volition!
[06:16] Flamin
    The Heroes! The Demon Lord!
[06:18] Flamin
    Everyone and everything!
[06:19] Flamin
    We're all just pawns in a game,
[06:21] Flamin
    and none of you get how
    easily we're thrown out!
[06:25] Flamin
    Hey! You're out there
    somewhere listening, right?!
[06:28] Flamin
    "You can be free if you
    conquer the world," my ass!
[06:32] Flamin
    You deceived both me and
    the Demon Lord, dammit!
[06:34] Flamin
    You never planned on granting
    us that from the start!
[06:37] Flamin
    You're just as bad! King Ira Takuto!
[06:40] Flamin
    You're another Player too, aren't you?
[06:42] Flamin
    I bet you thought, "I need to upgrade
    my gear once I defeat this boss,"
[06:46] Flamin
    as you fought me too, didn't you?
[06:48] Flamin
    Well, fuck you!
[06:50] Flamin
    I'm here, and I exist!
[06:51] Flamin
    So I'm going to kill your little favorites
    now in my greatest act of spite!
[06:57] Isla
    Hold on a moment!
[06:59] Isla
    Wait!
[07:00] Flamin
    Hell no!
[07:02] Flamin
    I hate the whole lot of you.
[07:05] Both
    Mother...
[07:06] Isla
    Maria! Caria!
[07:19] (Flashback) Caria
    Is this the spot?
[07:21] (Flashback) Maria
    Yeah!
[07:34] (Flashback) Caria
    You found a wonderful spot, Big Sis.
[07:38] (Flashback) Caria
    You can really see all of
    our king's nation from here.
[07:42] (Flashback) Maria
    Our king said that his nation
    is also everyone's nation!
[07:47] (Flashback) Maria
    So it's everyone's nation!
[07:49] (Flashback) Caria
    Then that means it's our nation too.
[07:52] (Flashback) Maria
    Yeah!
[07:53] (Flashback) Maria
    And Mama Isla's too!
[07:55] (Flashback) Caria
    Uh-huh.
[08:03] (Flashback) Both
    Wow.
[08:10] (Flashback) Maria
    Look, Caria!
[08:13] (Flashback) Caria
    It's so big and bright.
[08:15] (Flashback) Maria
    The moon is pretty, isn't it?
[08:18] (Flashback) Caria
    It is, but...?
[08:20] (Flashback) Maria
    Our king told me.
[08:21] (Flashback) Maria
    When you say, "The moon is pretty, isn't it?"
[08:24] (Flashback) Maria
    it means "I love you."
[08:28] (Flashback) Caria
    I've never heard of that before!
[08:29] (Flashback) Caria
    Our king knows so much!
[08:32] (Flashback) Maria
    I hadn't heard of it before, either.
[08:34] (Flashback) Maria
    Our king knows everything.
[08:36] (Flashback) Caria
    That's not fair!
[08:38] (Flashback) Caria
    When did you get our king to teach
    you something so wonderful, Big Sis?
[08:54] (Flashback) Maria
    Caria. The moon is pretty, isn't it?
[09:02] (Flashback) Caria
    Big Sis, the moon is pretty!
[09:06] (Flashback) Caria
    Next time, we should bring
    Mama Isla with us too.
[09:10] (Flashback) Caria
    Everyone's nation looks so pretty from here.
[09:13] (Flashback) Caria
    Then we can both tell her, "The
    moon is pretty, isn't it?!"
[09:18] (Flashback) Maria
    Yeah! Let's do that!
[09:20] (Flashback) Caria
    The night of the full moon would be best!
[09:22] (Flashback) Caria
    So, on the next full moon!
[09:24] (Flashback) Maria
    Yeah! We'll keep it secret until then!
[09:27] (Flashback) Caria
    That's right, Big Sis!
[09:35] Maria
    Huh?
[09:36] Caria
    Huh?
[09:53] Maria
    N-No!

    Mother! Mama Isla!
SIGN    I'll take you down with me!
[10:07] Isla
    A-Are you two okay?
[10:12] Maria
    Mother! Mother!
[10:15] Isla
    You stayed safe then.
[10:19] Isla
    Thank goodness.
[10:21] Isla
    Truly, thank—
[10:23] Maria
    Mother, I'm worried about your injuries!
[10:26] Caria
    W-We need to get you to the
    king and the birdbrains fast!

    Hurry!
[10:41] Maria
    Get here quick!
[10:42] Isla
    There's no need for treatment.
[10:47] Isla
    I-I need you two to listen to
    what I'm about to say carefully.
[11:00] Isla
    I'm sure you two already understand,
[11:02] Isla
    but I won't survive.
[11:05] Isla
    So there's something I wish
    to entrust to you two.
[11:11] Caria
    No! We'll be good girls!
[11:13] Caria
    So... So don't—
[11:15] Maria
    T-There has to be some
    way to save you, Mother!
[11:19] Isla
    I'm afraid there isn't.
[11:22] Caria
    It's all because we were weak!
[11:24] Caria
    It's all because we thought
    we could find happiness!
[11:27] Caria
    That's why we're being punished!
[11:29] Maria
    Why?!
[11:30] Maria
    Why does everyone always die?!
[11:32] Maria
    We just wanted to live with our mother!
[11:35] Maria
    Have we really done something
    bad enough to deserve this?!
[11:39] Isla
    You two have done nothing wrong.
[11:42] Isla
    I was simply too weak.
[11:47] Maria
    Mother, let us die with you.
[11:49] Maria
    I can't stand this pain anymore.
[11:51] Caria
    There's no point in living anymore.
[11:55] Caria
    Nothing good ever comes out of life.
[11:58] Isla
    Please listen to my last words.
[12:12] Isla
    Please forgive your mother
    for passing on before you.
[12:16] Isla
    Now, this is my final request...
[12:20] Isla
    Please eat me,
[12:22] Isla
    and live on.
[12:25] Maria
    No!
[12:26] Maria
    No, no!
[12:27] Caria
    Why?!
[12:29] Caria
    Why must we do that again?!
[12:31] Isla
    Master.
[12:32] Isla
    Please forgive my selfish action.
[12:35] Isla
    I used the experience I acquired
[12:37] Isla
    to learn the skill "Royal Succession."
[12:41] Isla
    Maria, Caria.
[12:44] Isla
    I'm handing down all of my power
    to the two of you.
[12:49] Isla
    Please live your lives as you
    wish, my precious daughters.
[12:55] Isla
    I love you!

    Mother!

    You don't need to
     come with me, you know.
[13:10] Moltar
    That's not true.
[13:13] Moltar
    Our king ordered me to march alongside you
    and destroy the Demon Lord's stronghold.
[13:22] Atou
    I need to make haste back
    to King Takuto's side!
[13:27] Atou
    And yet this trash...
[13:34] Atou
    What a pain.
[13:38] Atou
    N-No way!
[13:42] Moltar
    Is something the matter?!

    What happened?

    Isla was...
[14:21] Takuto
    No, that's impossible!

    What's going on, King Takuto?!
[15:46] Takuto
    Isla was defeated.
[15:48] Takuto
    She got caught in a death scene.
[15:51] Atou
    That's impossible?!
[15:53] Atou
    Dammit! That attack!
[16:01] Atou
    What a grave blunder!
[16:03] Atou
    I failed to report a crucial detail!
[16:08] Atou
    Isla's defeat is an emergency.
[16:10] Atou
    I'll return to the capital at once.
[16:12] Takuto
    I know, but hold on.
[16:15] Atou
    Why, my king?!
[16:16] Takuto
    Isla is dead.
[16:18] Takuto
    Unfortunately, that's a fact.
[16:21] Takuto
    However, the twins have survived.
[16:24] Atou
    Why are you bringing up the twins?
[16:27] Takuto
    They're moving south toward
    the enemy's stronghold.
[16:30] Takuto
    I imagine they're planning
    to exact vengeance.
[16:32] Atou
    But those girls can't—
[16:34] Takuto
    Isla used Royal Succession
[16:37] Takuto
    to allow those two inherit her Hero status.
[16:41] Takuto
    We can't afford to lose any
    more Hero Units at this point.
[16:45] Takuto
    My orders won't reach them either,
[16:47] Takuto
    so I need you to retrieve them.
[16:50] Atou
    If I may be so bold as to object,
[16:52] Atou
    these RPG mechanics are a threat!
[16:54] Atou
    I beg you to reconsider
[16:56] Atou
    and grant me permission to protect you!
[16:59] Takuto
    I see.
[17:00] Takuto
    Even so, please go.
[17:02] Takuto
    Isla entrusted them to us.
[17:04] Atou
    We can't afford to expose you
    to danger over sentimentality!
[17:07] Atou
    King Takuto, you're my—
[17:09] Takuto
    Atou, this is an order.
[17:11] Takuto
    You're the only one I can ask.
[17:17] Atou
    As you command, my king.
[17:20] Takuto
    Thank you, Atou.
[17:21] Takuto
    I trust you.
[17:25] Moltar
    Lady Atou?
[17:26] Atou
    You all are to return to the capital.
[17:30] Atou
    I forgot something very important.
[17:33] Atou
    King Takuto was the greatest 
    player of Eternal Nations*.
[17:37] Atou
    I just need to have faith in him and obey.
[17:42] Gia
    My king!
[17:43] Gia
    We'll soon be finished mopping up*
    the survivors that entered our land.
[17:47] Gia
    Shall we begin pursuing the others?

    All noncombatants will remain
    evacuated until tomorrow morning,
[17:53] Emle
    at which point we'll begin repairs
    on the damaged facilities.
[17:56] Takuto
    You don't need to take action on your own.
[17:58] Takuto
    I'll issue the necessary
    orders at the necessary time.

    Please forgive my rudeness!
[18:03] Emle
