    Episode 11 Mireille Grangeon
[02:03] Ars
    Um... You're Mireille Grangeon, right?
[02:07] Mireille
    Wow, you've heard of me?
[02:09] Rietz
    Mireille Grangeon? It can't be...
[02:12] Pham
    Yeah.
[02:13] Pham
    The name of the former advisor to the late
    governor of Missian, Amador Salamakhia.
[02:20] Mireille
    Yeah, that's right!
    I lived with that old guy.
[02:23] Charlotte
    Wow, she seems awesome.
[02:26] Ars
    Advisor to the late governor of Missian?
[02:28] Ars
    What's someone that important doing here?
[02:34] Ars
    Rosell? What's the matter?
[02:36] Rietz
    Lord Ars.
[02:38] Rietz
    You must not hire this woman.
[02:41] Rietz
    Her name is infamous.
[02:43] Rietz
    Though she was once served the late governor,
[02:47] Rietz
    they say she was driven from the castle.
[02:50] Mireille
    Oh, yeah? Is that what they say about me?
[02:54] Rietz
    Most importantly, she has a younger brother...
[02:57] Rietz
    Thomas Grangeon, right hand
    to our enemy, Lord Vasmarque.
[03:04] Rietz
    He's said to be a great general,
     with skills that surpass his elder sister's.
[03:09] Rietz
    Mireille, his own flesh and blood,
    might well be passing information to him.
[03:14] Ars
    S-So she might be a spy?
[03:17] Mireille
    What, give his stupid ass intel?
[03:19] Mireille
    No way! We don't get along at all.
[03:22] Mireille
    So, wait, my brother's with that dude now?
[03:25] Rietz
    That's enough out of you.
[03:27] Mireille
    Ooh, scary guy.
[03:30] Mireille
    Hey, Lynn. I'm not really
    feeling a warm welcome here.
[03:34] Mireille
    I dunno if these guys are gonna hire me.
[03:38] Pham
    What'll it be?
[03:44] Rietz
    Lord Ars.
[03:45] Rietz
    I'm sorry, but please turn her away.
[03:47] Rosell
    Yes.
[03:48] Ars
    All right.
[03:50] Ars
    I'll hire you!
[03:53] Rietz
    L-Lord Ars?
[03:55] Rietz
    Did you just say you would hire her?
[03:57] Rosell
    It's far too dangerous!
[03:59] Ars
    Nevertheless, she has genuine skill!
[04:02] Ars
    I guarantee it!
[04:06] Ars
    Like with Licia, I don't know exactly
    what her Ambition stat represents.
[04:11] Ars
    I can't be sure it means
    she's likely to betray.
[04:15] Ars
    And as for her other stats...
[04:17] Ars
    Having her on our side is worth the risk!
[04:20] Ars
    She's just that talented!
[04:22] Mireille
    Aw, I'm not that good.
[04:24] Mireille
    Shucks, I'm blushin' here.
[04:27] Ars
    We need good people right now.
[04:30] Ars
    Please!
[04:32] Charlotte
    You heard him.
[04:33] Rietz
    If Lord Ars insists...
[04:38] Ars
    Thank you, everyone!
[04:39] Mireille
    Does that mean I got the job?
[04:44] Mireille
    Pleasure to work with ya!
[04:49] Rietz
    Lord Ars! Lord Ars!
[04:52] Rietz
    I can't take this any longer!
[04:56] Rietz
    I realize that my saying so is
    the height of impropriety...
[05:00] Rietz
    But I do not believe Mireille
    is fit to be your retainer.
[05:04] Rietz
    I caught her neglecting her duties
    to sleep the day away yet again!
[05:08] Rietz
    There are multiple complaints
    from the training hall
[05:11] Rietz
    that she has no interest
    in giving instructions!
[05:14] Rietz
    And when I advised her to straighten up...
[05:17] (Flashback) Mireille
    Sometimes you just don't feel like it!
[05:19] Rietz
    She had the nerve to say that to me!
[05:23] Rietz
    She's a blemish on House Louvent
    in absolutely every respect!
[05:27] Ars
    Not this again...
[05:30] Rosell
    I don't want Mireille tutoring me anymore!
[05:34] Ars
    What now?!
[05:36] Rosell
    She said something like, "No more books,"
    then took me outside and made me run!
[05:41] (Flashback) Rosell
    Is there any point to this?!
[05:44] (Flashback) Mireille
    That's for you to figure out!
[05:47] Rosell
    What is that even supposed to mean?!
[05:50] Rosell
    I think she's just picking on me!
[05:52] Rosell
    I'm no good at running!
[05:55] Rosell
    What does a strategist even need to run for?!
[05:59] Rosell
    I'm exhausted!
[06:00] Ars
    I-I'm sure there's a method to her
    madness, but I'll talk to her just in—
[06:07] Ars
    Wh-What's that sound?!
[06:09] Gatos
    What was that?
[06:10] Marcus
    Are we under attack?!
[06:12] Millais
    Prepare for combat!
[06:15] Mireille
    Say, you've got a real talent for magic!
[06:19] Mireille
    Color me surprised.
[06:20] Charlotte
    When I really let loose, I can do way better.
[06:23] Mireille
    Wow, I wanna see!
[06:25] Ars
    Hold it right there. What are you two doing?
[06:28] Charlotte
    Big Sis Mireille said she wanted
    to see my spells, so I cast one.
[06:32] Ars
    Could you at least try to restrain yourself?!
[06:35] Mireille
    Aw, it's no fun if she holds back.
[06:38] Ars
    Then at least warn us
    before you start casting!
[06:41] Mireille
    Yeah, shoulda done that. My bad.
[06:45] Ars
    I'm just glad it wasn't an enemy attack.
[06:48] Ars
    Honestly, please be more careful—
[06:53] Gullar
    You're not taking this seriously enough.
[06:55] Gullar
    Can't you try to straighten up?
[06:58] Alice
    You're making more work for us!
     We can't take it!
[07:00] Maids
    That's right!
[07:02] Mireille
    Huh? I'm just doing what comes natural.
[07:06] Mireille
    I mean, it's kinda hard to change
    once you reach a certain age...
[07:11] Mireille
    What do you think, kiddo?
[07:12] Ars
    U-Um...
[07:16] Ars
    I-I want us all to work together!
[07:19] Ars
    If this keeps up,
    I might have to do something!
[07:22] Mireille
    Aw, really? That's tough.
[07:26] Mireille
    I really don't wanna leave this place...
[07:28] Ars
    She doesn't want to leave?
[07:30] Ars
    Despite the hostile environment
    with all the complaints?
[07:35] Ars
    Why not?
[07:37] Mireille
    No one's taken me in with as much
    gusto as you did since the old guy.
[07:46] Mireille
    I mean, there's lots more to it,
[07:48] Mireille
    but I guess I gotta prove myself
     if I wanna stay here.
[07:54] Mireille
    So, how's about a mock battle?
[07:57] Mireille
    It's kinda hard for me to show
    my stuff outside a proper fight.
[08:02] Mireille
    If I impress you in a mock battle,
    I want your stamp of approval as a retainer.
[08:05] Ars
    This is all a bit sudden...
[08:08] Rietz
    I like it.
[08:10] Ars
    No, please, Rietz...
[08:12] Rietz
    Let's see what a one-time advisor to
    the governor of Missian has to offer.
[08:22] Ars
    Wh-What should I do?
    This is really getting out of hand!
[08:29] Ars
    Well...
[08:32] Ars
    Why are you here again, Licia?
[08:35] Licia
    Your most recent letter said you
    were going to hold a mock battle,
[08:39] Licia
    so I dropped by to cheer you on!
[08:42] Ars
    Y-You just "dropped by"?
[08:44] Mireille
    Hey, so you're the legendary fiancée?
[08:47] Mireille
    I've heard tons about you.
[08:50] Licia
    Oh, and Lord Ars has told me
    all about you in his letters!
[08:55] Licia
    "A strategist who eats our food and
    does no work in exchange," I believe.
[08:58] Mireille
    Aw, Ars, that's mean!
[09:01] Ars
    I didn't say that! I didn't!
[09:03] Ars
    Though I did say I was struggling with
    all the complaints from everyone...
[09:07] Mireille
    'Course not!
[09:09] Mireille
    You're the only one who
    really wanted me here.
[09:12] Mireille
    How's about we get married?
[09:14] Ars
    N-No, Mireille, please! You're drunk!
[09:21] Ars
    What was that noise she just made?!
[09:23] Rosell
    L-Lord Ars, we should probably get started.
[09:25] Ars
    I-I will now explain the rules!
[09:30] Ars
    The mock battle will be held
    between two teams of fifty each.
[09:35] Ars
    The location will be a region
    of the eastern forest.
[09:38] Ars
    It will last until sunset.
[09:40] Ars
    Whichever side "slays" more soldiers wins.
[09:44] Ars
    That said, taking out the enemy general
[09:47] Ars
    or wiping out the entire unit
    will mean instant victory.
[09:51] Ars
    We'll be using blunt wooden
    swords for our weapons.
[09:55] Ars
    You're "slain" if struck in the head or chest,
     so kindly retire from the game after that.
[10:01] Ars
    That should cover it. Any questions?
[10:04] Charlotte
    Can we use magic?
[10:06] Ars
    Flame spells are not allowed.
[10:09] Ars
    That would end the battle instantly.
[10:11] Charlotte
    Aw, then what'm I supposed to do?
[10:14] Ars
    Instead, I'm handing out a few vials
    of aqua magia for you to make use of.
[10:20] Charlotte
    Sound-type and light-type aqua magia, huh?
[10:25] Rosell
    These are safer, since you can't attack
    people directly with them, but...
[10:32] Rosell
    Don't just go and use them!
[10:34] Charlotte
    I didn't. I just held it a little
    too tight, and it went off.
[10:40] Ars
    Now, how shall we divide the teams?
[10:43] Ars
    I want to see what Mireille can do,
    so I'd prefer to be on her side, but...
[10:53] Ars
    Why are the rest of you siding with him?!
[10:55] Rietz
    The outcome was inevitable.
[10:57] Rosell
    Uh-huh!
[10:58] Licia
    One must drive out an unwanted presence!
[11:02] Licia
    Correct?
[11:02] Rietz/Rosell
    Uh-huh!
[11:03] Charlotte
    I wanna try going up against Big Sis!
[11:06] Eis
    If Lord Ars loses, Mireille gets fired.
[11:10] Eis
    So you newbies can join his team.
[11:13] New Soldier
    That's not fair!
[11:14] Veteran Soldier
    Shut up!
[11:16] Ars
    Hang on...
[11:17] Ars
    Mireille, please, say something.
[11:20] Mireille
    Eh, sounds fine to me.
[11:22] Ars
    You're drinking again!
[11:24] Ars
    Where did you even get that?!
[11:26] Eis
    Sheesh. Is she even taking this seriously?
[11:30] Mireille
    Can I get me a refill?
[11:33] Ars
    The point of this mock battle was
    to get everyone to accept her...
[11:36] Ars
    But I think she's just driving
    an even bigger wedge!
[11:40] Ars
    Well, let's take our positions.
[11:42] Mireille
    'Kay!

[11:56] Wren
    One, two...
[11:57] Wren/Kreiz
    Do your best!
[11:59] sign
    Rietz's Team
[12:03] Charlotte
    Gotta say, these teams are super unbalanced.
[12:05] Charlotte
    You sure this is okay?
[12:07] Rietz
    The strength of House Louvent is its unity.
[12:10] Rietz
    We're better off without a
    disruptive force like her.
[12:13] Soldiers
    Uh-huh!
[12:14] Charlotte
    You think so?
[12:16] Charlotte
    I think Big Sis Mireille is
    pretty awesome, personally.
[12:22] sign
    General Rosell
[12:22] Rosell
    Charlotte and Licia are
    domineering enough as it is...
[12:27] Rosell
    If Mireille joins them, our female
    faction is gonna be way too scary!
[12:34] Rosell
    Rietz! Let's do our best!
[12:37] sign
    Mireille's Team
[12:39] sign
    General Ars
[12:40] Ars
    All right, everyone! Let's give this our all!
[12:43] Mireille
    Sure!
[12:47] Ars
    Do you really think we'll be okay?
[12:49] Ars
    The other team has Rietz...
[12:51] Mireille
    Oh, that kid?
[12:54] Mireille
    I saw him in training.
    That Rietz kid is a real monster!
[12:58] Mireille
    Gotta wonder what he's doing
    out here in the sticks.
[13:01] Mireille
    Oh, and Charlotte's really
    something else, too.
[13:05] Mireille
    I bet she could take out
    a whole squad in a second.
[13:08] Mireille
    How'd you score talent like them?
[13:11] Ars
    I just asked them to become my retainers.
[13:14] Mireille
    Oh? Nice work!
[13:18] Ars
    Anyway, we're at quite a disadvantage
    against them, aren't we?
[13:24] Mireille
    And we've got a team full of greenhorns.
[13:28] Mireille
    There's no way we'd win
    under normal circumstances.
[13:33] New Soldier A
    You didn't have to come out and say it!
[13:35] New Soldier B
    We know we're at a disadvantage!
[13:37] New Soldier C
    We're doing our best!
[13:39] New Soldiers
    Yeah! Yeah!
[13:41] Mireille
    Aw, sorry.
[13:43] Mireille
    It's just the truth, though, you know?
[13:48] Ars
    Mireille.
[13:49] Ars
    You shouldn't talk like that.
[13:52] Ars
    It's true that we have our weaknesses...
[13:55] Mireille
    Oh, yeah, we got nothing but weaknesses.
[13:58] Mireille
    But we're also gonna win.
[14:01] Mireille
    We can't change our army,
    but we've got infinite strategy.
[14:06] Mireille
    We're up against a strong opponent
    and have no sense of teamwork.
[14:10] Mireille
    At a glance, everything's against us, but...
[14:13] Mireille
    In another sense,
    we've been dealt a lucky hand.
[14:18] Mireille
    I don't care that you guys hate me.
[14:20] Mireille
    It's not a strategist's job be loved,
    but to get you that win.
[14:30] Wren
    It's starting!
[14:32] Licia
    It appears Lord Ars's army
     has signaled combat first.
[14:39] Rietz
    Is it all set up?
[14:40] Rosell
    Just as you asked.
[14:42] Veteran Mage
    We'll know the second the enemy
    enters our route of advance.
[14:49] Rietz
    Then let's go over the plan once more.
[14:52] Rietz
    In normal combat, our opponent
    stands no chance of victory.
[14:55] Rietz
    So there's a strong chance they'll try
    to use projectiles and ambush tactics.
[15:01] Rietz
    Which is why we'll follow standard combat
    theory and attack their weak force directly.
[15:06] Soldiers
    Sir!
[15:07] Rietz
    We'll divide into two units.
    My unit will march first.
[15:12] Rietz
    The other unit, led by Rosell, will follow
    behind us, maintaining a certain distance.
[15:19] Rietz
    If Mireille mounts an ambush on you,
    use sound magic to call us back.
[15:24] Rietz
    We'll be faster than they are,
[15:26] Rietz
    so we'll catch up before you're
    wiped out and defeat them.
[15:33] Rietz
    That's our plan.
[15:35] Rietz
    Anything to add?
[15:37] Rosell
    Nothing.
[15:40] Rietz
    We've survived many battles together.
[15:43] Rietz
    If we fight as we always do,
     we'll be just fine.
[15:46] Rietz
    And, as we always do...
[15:48] Rietz
    Let us seize victory!
[15:51] Veteran Soldiers
    Yes!
[15:53] Kreiz
    They're moving out!
[15:55] Jean
    They're splitting in two?
[15:58] Jean
    That's quite cautious of them.
[16:00] Licia
    That caution has surely led House
    Louvent to victory many times before.
[16:07] Licia
    What will Mireille do in response?
[16:13] Rietz
    First, let's ascertain the enemy's
    formation and position.
[16:15] Ben
    Yes, sir!
[16:23] Ben
    They triggered it already.
[16:25] Rietz
    That was quick.
[16:35] Jil
    Ah, R-Rietz!
[16:38] Rietz
    You're from Mireille's team...
[16:41] Jil
    E-Er...
[16:42] Jil
    Do you think I could join your side?
[16:46] Ben
    Join our side? This has gotta be a trap.
[16:50] Jil
    I can tell you Mireille's strategy.
[16:53] Rietz
    I'll hear you out, for now.
[16:56] Jil
    Yes, sir!
[16:58] Jil
    Here's her plan.
[17:00] Jil
    Mireille predicted you'd split
    your troops into two units.
[17:04] Jil
    She was going to make her soldiers call out
    that a real enemy attack was happening,
[17:10] Jil
    to get you right where she wants you...
[17:16] Ars
    Grin!
[17:17] Jil
    ...then ambush the other unit
    when they rushed in to help,
[17:21] Jil
    and use all she's got to take out your general.
[17:27] Jil
    That's her entire plan.
[17:30] Henry
    Lord Ars really went for that?
[17:31] Dawson
    He didn't object to it?
[17:34] Jil
    He didn't.
[17:36] Jil
    Please, let me join your team!
[17:43] Rietz
    That's not possible.
[17:44] Rietz
    As persuasive as Mireille may be,
[17:47] Rietz
    Lord Ars would never accept such a plan.
[17:51] Rietz
    Do you think so little of him?
[17:55] Jil
    Of course not! I was totally lying just now.
[18:00] Jil
    You're absolutely right, Rietz.
[18:02] Jil
    Mireille just asked me to pretend to betray
    her to get you where she wants you.
[18:06] Rietz
    Why admit that to us, your enemy?
[18:10] Jil
    I hate Mireille.
[18:12] Jil
    She comes late to training
    and pushes her busywork on us!
[18:17] Jil
    I've never once seen her do any decent work!
[18:20] Rietz
    I sympathize.
[18:23] Jil
    I know it's not good to hate your allies.
[18:26] Jil
    But I've sworn my loyalty to Lord Ars.
[18:31] Jil
    That's all the more reason I can't
    abide her slovenly attitude.
[18:35] Jil
    I want to betray Mireille.
[18:38] Jil
    So I'll tell you her real plan.
[18:44] Rietz
    I see.
[18:45] Rietz
    She wants to lure us here and attack us on
    both sides with her unit and Lord Ars's.
[18:51] Jil
    Please pretend to fall for the plan.
[18:54] Jil
    I'm supposed to use sound magic
    to signal the attack.
[18:57] Jil
    If I don't, her plan will fail.
[19:01] Jil
    Please make wise decisions,
    for Lord Ars's sake.
[19:07] Rietz
    All right.
[19:08] Rietz
    Let me hold your catalyzer just to be safe.
[19:12] Jil
    Take it.
[19:16] Rietz
    Detain him.
[19:21] Jil
    Hey! What's this all about?!
[19:24] Rietz
    The conspicuousness of your catalyzer
    makes me suspect ulterior motives.
[19:30] Henry
    He's got another catalyzer!
[19:34] Rietz
    You were planning to lure us there,
[19:37] Rietz
    then use your hidden catalyzer to trigger
    the sound magic when we arrived.
[19:41] Jil
    N-No! I wasn't—
[19:48] Jil
    Yes. You're right.
[19:50] Freddie
    He almost had us fooled.
[19:52] Rietz
    But he's also simplified things for us.
[19:55] Rietz
    They won't send their soldiers here
    without the sound magic signal.
[20:00] Rietz
    Let's get around behind them and strike.
[20:03] Veteran Soldiers
    Sir!
[20:07] Alice
    They're on the move!
[20:09] Wren
    They're so fast!
[20:20] Ben
    Are Rosell and his men keeping up?
[20:23] Rietz
    We're moving swiftly, but I'm sure they are.
[20:37] Rietz
    If we take out Lord Ars here, we win.
[20:43] Rietz
    Now!
[20:52] Mireille
    Hey, nice work!
[20:54] Mireille
    Just like I expected.
[20:57] Mireille
    Great performance, kid.
[20:59] Gullar
    Wh-What's the meaning of this?!
[21:01] Ben
    Where are the other soldiers?!
[21:05] Mireille
    You're so loyal and talented.
[21:06] Mireille
    And extremely predictable.
[21:08] Rietz
    What are you smiling about?
[21:11] Rietz
    I don't know what your plan was here...
[21:14] Rietz
    But this still ends when
    I take out your general.
[21:18] Rietz
    Did you really think you could escape me?
[21:22] Ars
    He's angry! Rietz is out
    of his mind with rage!
[21:25] Mireille
    Oh, how scary.
[21:27] Mireille
    But I've got faith in my speed and stamina.
[21:32] Rietz
    Interesting. We've got that in common.
[21:35] Mireille
    Okay, then...
[21:38] Mireille
    Time to start a game of tag!
[21:41] Rietz
    All men... charge!
[21:45] Ars
    I really feel like you're driving
     that wedge deeper!
[23:25] Ars
    W-We're playing tag with Rietz?!
[23:27] Ars
    There's no way we're gonna win!
[23:29] Mireille
    Aw, what's wrong, Ars?
[23:31] Ars
    Mireille! Are you sure this
    plan is going to work?!
[23:34] Mireille
    Yeah, no idea.
[23:36] Ars
    So it might not?!
[23:36] sign
    Next Time Oath
[23:37] Ars
    Next time: "Oath."
