**[00:37] ---**
What organization are you bastards from?
**[00:48] ---**
Hey there, buddy! You find any notable intel?
**[00:52] ---**
You tell me.
**[00:54] ---**
Why not ask the head of the
house over there yourself?
**[01:05] ---**
I can give chase. Want me to?
**[01:07] ---**
No need to right now.
**[01:11] ---**
Man, that guy's tough.
**[01:13] ---**
If we're talking in terms of
Status, he was your equal.
**[01:19] ---**
How's Lord Elsnes?
**[01:22] ---**
He's dead.
**[01:28] ---**
Mercy of an Assassin
**[01:30] ---**
The "canbells," inside which
the city blocks are housed,
**[01:34] ---**
are connected by glass tubes.
**[01:45] ---**
Humankind's last-standing city-state -
the world within the lantern - Flandore.
**[01:53] ---**
Within the unending darkness outside,
**[01:56] ---**
lurk monsters gnawed at away by
the night called "lancanthropes."
**[02:41] ---**
Feels like a brainy place.
Feels like a brainy place.
**[02:49] ---**
We said the same exact thing!
**[02:51] ---**
Yeah, talk about a coincidence.
**[02:56] ---**
Take my hand, milady.
**[02:57] ---**
Wh-what a gentleman!
**[03:00] ---**
Th-thank you.
**[03:04] ---**
It's only natural to show a little courtesy.
**[03:06] ---**
I wish I could escort you all
the way to your destination...
**[03:09] ---**
Don't be silly!
**[03:15] ---**
I'd been terribly anxious
being all on my own...
**[03:18] ---**
So I'm glad to have met you!
**[03:20] ---**
I get the feeling everything's
gonna keep going smoothly for me!
**[03:23] ---**
I'm happy to hear that.
**[03:25] ---**
Well then, I hope to run
into you again sometime.
**[03:27] ---**
Yeah, see you later!
**[03:30] ---**
Definitely, definitely meet up with me again!
**[03:35] ---**
See you!
**[04:25] ---**
Mr. Kufa Vampir, I presume?
**[04:27] ---**
Pleased to meet you.
**[04:29] ---**
I look forward to working alongside you.
**[04:31] ---**
I'm Aimee, the head maid of this residence.
**[04:35] ---**
Likewise, I'm looking forward
to working alongside you.
**[04:38] ---**
Well then, allow me to show
you around the mansion.
**[04:52] ---**
Starting today, this is where you'll
be working for the next three years.
**[04:57] ---**
I believe milady is already waiting for...
**[04:59] ---**
Oh?
**[05:16] ---**
L-Lady Melida?!
**[05:50] ---**
Are you alright, milady?
**[06:17] ---**
A-are you my instructor?
**[06:20] ---**
Yes. The name is Kufa.
**[06:24] ---**
I look forward to spending the
next three years together.
**[06:28] ---**
I'm so glad you're safe!
**[06:29] ---**
Milady!
I'm so glad you're safe!
**[06:30] ---**
Milady!
You really shocked me!
**[06:31] ---**
You really shocked me!
**[06:37] ---**
Any injuries?
**[06:42] ---**
N-nice to meet you, Instructor.
**[06:44] ---**
My name is Melida Angel.
**[06:58] ---**
Milady, it's time to get
going to the academy.
**[07:01] ---**
Please get ready.
**[07:02] ---**
Kufa, please look after milady,
even while she's attending the academy.
**[07:06] ---**
Huh? Y-you'll be coming
with me to the academy?
**[07:10] ---**
Yes. Were you unaware of that?
**[07:13] ---**
Milady, while I am in charge of your instruction,
I am also your attendant,
**[07:16] ---**
so I have received special
permission to enter the grounds.
**[07:32] ---**
You're finally here!
**[07:34] ---**
You're late, you know, Melida.
**[07:39] ---**
G-good morning, Nerva.
**[07:42] ---**
I thought you were playing hooky.
**[07:45] ---**
And who might he be?
**[07:47] ---**
Ah... He's my private tutor,
who has just arrived today.
**[07:51] ---**
Hmm... Is he going to instruct
you in your studies?
**[07:55] ---**
Or...
**[07:56] ---**
in the use of mana?
**[07:59] ---**
W-well...
**[08:02] ---**
Oh, dear!
**[08:04] ---**
We don't have time to
waste talking like this.
**[08:07] ---**
Right, Melida?
**[08:09] ---**
Come and be my training partner.
**[08:13] ---**
A power that grants various
unusual talents to its users
**[08:16] ---**
and elevates their physical abilities
beyond those of ordinary humans...
**[08:20] ---**
"mana."
**[08:22] ---**
It is a gift that has been granted
to only the chosen noble class.
**[08:26] ---**
Generally speaking, this power
awakens around the age of seven.
**[08:31] ---**
Oh... She has beautiful form.
**[08:39] ---**
While she was born into the House of Angel,
**[08:43] ---**
with its title of "Paladin" as one of
the three big aristocratic Houses...
**[08:46] ---**
she has been unable to manifest any mana
whatsoever up through this very day.
**[08:56] ---**
An incompetent talented girl.
**[09:07] ---**
That is the limitation of
the mana-less Melida Angel.
**[09:10] ---**
Hey, Melida.
**[09:12] ---**
You going to be able to
achieve your dream like that?
**[09:15] ---**
Oh, she has a dream?
**[09:17] ---**
Whatever are you talking about, Nerva.
**[09:21] ---**
I hear that from a young age it's been
this girl's dream to join Crest Legion
**[09:25] ---**
and become the people's sword of hope!
**[09:28] ---**
When I learned it was the much-talked-about
**[09:30] ---**
"incompetent talented girl"
who was saying such a thing,
**[09:32] ---**
I found it quite amusing...
**[09:38] ---**
How funny!
**[09:44] ---**
Oh, right, the new tutor Elise secured for herself
is an elite member of Crest Legion, you know?
**[09:51] ---**
You're here, huh, Elli...
**[09:55] ---**
We are talking about Elise,
who ages ago awakened her Paladin class,
**[10:00] ---**
so if she receives guidance
from a tutor like that...
**[10:02] ---**
she'll end up joining Crest
Legion in no time, you know?
**[10:11] ---**
I...
**[10:14] ---**
Having been born into a branch
family of an aristocratic House,
**[10:17] ---**
that is Lady Melida's cousin...
**[10:20] ---**
Elise Angel, huh?
**[10:31] ---**
Why're you coming chasing after me?!
**[10:37] ---**
You're also gonna tell me there's
no way I can do it, right?!
**[10:45] ---**
You know, Lita, I-
**[10:47] ---**
Don't be all friendly calling
me "Lita" like that!
**[11:33] ---**
This incompetent talentless girl's goal is to join
Crest Legion, the most eminent guild.
**[11:40] ---**
What a bad joke that is.
**[11:45] ---**
Lady Melida's grandfather, Lord Mordrew,
has doubts as to whether Melida,
**[11:50] ---**
who has yet to awaken the power of mana,
is a true child of the House of Angel.
**[11:55] ---**
So, you mean to say that Lord Elsnes had an
affair with Lady Melida's mother, Lady Melinoa?
**[12:02] ---**
Tough to say.
**[12:03] ---**
We're left in the dark now
that he's ended up like this.
**[12:07] ---**
And so...
**[12:08] ---**
that means it's finally your
turn to spring into action!
**[12:12] ---**
Hm?
**[12:13] ---**
Your first mission is as follows:
**[12:15] ---**
Become Lady Melida Angel's
private tutor, guide her,
**[12:19] ---**
and foster her into a battle maiden
befitting of an aristocratic House.
**[12:23] ---**
If approaching it from the outside isn't
working, go at it from the inside, eh?
**[12:27] ---**
So, you see, the use of a specialist
instructor has become necessary now.
**[12:35] ---**
I've now observed her for a full day, and I see
no sign of Melida Angel possessing any aptitude.
**[12:41] ---**
Conclusion: She is not the biological
daughter of the knight-duke, Felgus Angel.
**[12:47] ---**
Consequently, I will carry out my second
mission: the assassination of Melida Angel.
**[12:56] ---**
Properly speaking, the deed
shouldn't be done so soon.
**[13:00] ---**
Nevertheless...
**[13:02] ---**
I can't stomach watching Melida Angel.
**[13:06] ---**
A child who's the product of a mother who,
**[13:08] ---**
although vastly wealthy,
came from the commoner class
**[13:10] ---**
and the man with whom she had an affair.
**[13:13] ---**
She may boast the Angel family name,
but she lacks the qualities to be a Paladin.
**[13:20] ---**
Without knowing any of that,
she straightforwardly believes in her own talents.
**[13:27] ---**
What a pitiful girl.
**[13:30] ---**
Her life is full of suffering.
**[13:34] ---**
And she will continue to keep on suffering.
**[13:37] ---**
The day that all suffering is
finally rewarded will never come.
**[13:43] ---**
That being the case, promptly severing
that chain of events is called for.
**[13:49] ---**
It's the mercy of a professional killer...
**[13:52] ---**
an assassin's pride.
**[14:01] ---**
I'm not picking up her presence?!
**[14:31] ---**
What the hell's with you guys?!
**[14:49] ---**
This anima...!
**[15:09] ---**
Lancanthropes?!
**[15:10] ---**
Why're they in a city block
on a layer this high up?
**[15:13] ---**
I hear Lord Mordrew often
tries to pressure her,
**[15:18] ---**
but it apparently never
produces a positive effect.
**[15:22] ---**
So this is that pressure...
**[15:25] ---**
So he intends to awaken her mana
by forcing her into combat, eh?
**[15:51] ---**
You little...!
**[16:02] ---**
Why doesn't she call for help?
**[16:07] ---**
Stop that! Don't touch my hair!
**[16:09] ---**
Hands off! Let go of it!
**[16:13] ---**
It's something I remember my mother by!
**[16:15] ---**
My departed mother had the same blond hair.
**[16:18] ---**
If it's taken away from me,
I'll no longer be able to recall my mother!
**[16:23] ---**
If she was to call for help,
**[16:25] ---**
a guild out on patrol
would rush to the scene.
**[16:28] ---**
They'd easily dispatch these
lowest of lancanthropes.
**[16:31] ---**
So, why then...?
**[16:33] ---**
I have to treasure and
take good care of my hair!
**[16:36] ---**
I have to join the ranks of Crest Legion!
**[16:40] ---**
Otherwise...
**[16:42] ---**
No one will even acknowledge...
**[16:45] ---**
that I'm a child of the House of Angel.
**[16:49] ---**
So she doesn't call for help because doing so
would mean she doesn't possess any mana,
**[16:54] ---**
and it would be seen as her admitting she's
not a child of the House of Angel... huh?
**[17:00] ---**
Aah, it truly is...
**[17:04] ---**
a bad joke.
**[17:15] ---**
Don't lay a finger on my employer.
**[17:21] ---**
"Save me"...?
**[17:23] ---**
What made you think you could
come out of this alive?
**[17:39] ---**
Phantom-Blade Trident...
**[17:41] ---**
Void Fang!
**[17:56] ---**
Instructor...?
**[18:04] ---**
I'm sorry it took me so
long to get here, milady.
**[18:09] ---**
I-it's no problem.
**[18:15] ---**
I'm sorry for having caused you trouble.
**[18:20] ---**
Oh, I see...
**[18:22] ---**
She's always on her own.
**[18:25] ---**
I'd like to see it with my own two eyes...
**[18:28] ---**
The moment this precious girl,
who's been fighting with all she's got in this cruel world,
**[18:32] ---**
is someday acknowledged.
**[18:37] ---**
Milady, please allow me,
at least, to save you.
**[18:44] ---**
I want to lend you my support.
**[18:48] ---**
No matter the storm you may find yourself in,
**[18:51] ---**
I will not fail to respond to your call.
**[19:02] ---**
Milady, will you entrust me with your life?
**[19:07] ---**
It's a risky gamble, but there is one -
and only one - way to awaken your mana.
**[19:14] ---**
There's no guarantee it
will be successful, though.
**[19:16] ---**
If it fails, beyond just lasting aftereffects,
it may even result in death.
**[19:22] ---**
I can't force you to go through with it.
**[19:25] ---**
What will it be?
**[19:37] ---**
I'll do it.
**[19:47] ---**
My Little Lady.
**[19:57] ---**
Milady, just as you have entrusted your life to me,
I have staked my life on you.
**[22:08] ---**
Look, Instructor!
**[22:14] ---**
Amazing! Simply amazing, Lady Melida!
**[22:16] ---**
Whenever did you become
able to do such a thing?!
**[22:20] ---**
Milady has at long last used mana!
**[22:27] ---**
Aimee, Grace, Nietzsche, Myra...
**[22:32] ---**
I'm sorry for causing you all
nothing but worry for so long.
**[22:37] ---**
If you hadn't all been here,
I couldn't have endured until now.
**[22:42] ---**
Thank you.
**[22:45] ---**
Alright! Tonight, we're
having a party to celebrate.
**[22:49] ---**
Party!
**[22:53] ---**
Well... I suppose there's
no turning back now.
**[22:58] ---**
I can't let milady know about
her mother's illicit affair.
**[23:02] ---**
And, of course, me being an
assassin must remain a secret.
**[23:06] ---**
At the same time, I must conceal her true lineage
and the substantial support I'm giving her
**[23:12] ---**
from our client, Lord Mordrew,
and from my guild, White Night.
**[23:19] ---**
If I err in regard to any of this,
both of us will be meet an instant death.
**[23:26] ---**
So, please, My Little Lady,
don't make me have to kill you, okay?
**[23:36] ---**

**[01:32] ---**
When the Girl's World Changes
**[01:37] ---**
This is a very necessary checkup.
**[01:40] ---**
You've weathered out the drug and
acquired the ability to use mana,
**[01:45] ---**
but we can't discard the possibility that
you've developed physical abnormalities.
**[01:50] ---**
Now, lie face up.
**[02:01] ---**
Instructor...
**[02:04] ---**
You don't seem at all mindful of the fact that I'm a girl.
**[02:09] ---**
I wouldn't say that.
**[02:11] ---**
You know, I actually feel embarrassed doing this.
**[02:14] ---**
It's just that I've trained myself
not to let my feelings show.
**[02:18] ---**
I-if you really are embarrassed,
then why do something like this?
**[02:22] ---**
You might find this strange seeing as we've just met,
but I'm doing it because I care about you.
**[02:30] ---**
When I think about the possibility - however tiny it
may be - that what I did has caused you bodily harm,
**[02:38] ---**
the thought of it is so dreadful I can't even sleep at night.
**[02:43] ---**
Now, there is just one thing I wish for...
**[02:46] ---**
That, milady, you remain healthy and full of vigor.
**[02:50] ---**
That's all I ask.
**[02:57] ---**
My apologies, Instructor.
**[02:59] ---**
If there are any areas you need to check,
please feel free to touch me there.
**[03:04] ---**
Thank you.
**[03:08] ---**
By the way, there's one more important
thing I need to speak to you about.
**[03:14] ---**
To tell the truth, milady, the class you've
attained is unfortunately not Paladin.
**[03:21] ---**
Huh?
**[03:23] ---**
So, then...
**[03:25] ---**
Your class is Samurai - the same as mine.
**[03:29] ---**
"Samurai"...
**[03:34] ---**
I see.
**[03:35] ---**
Although it's a bit unfortunate
I couldn't become a Paladin...
**[03:40] ---**
I'm happy to share the same class as you, Instructor.
**[03:43] ---**
I'm glad you've come to terms with it.
**[03:46] ---**
It might be advisable for you to keep this
matter secret from everyone for the time being.
**[03:51] ---**
Why is that?
**[03:53] ---**
Because, given your position, there would surely
be someone who starts unsavory rumors about you.
**[04:01] ---**
Seeing as I shared my mana with her,
this is the natural outcome.
**[04:06] ---**
But, I just hope milady can establish a track
record befitting a member of an aristocratic House.
**[04:14] ---**
This is the sole path forward that will
allow milady and me to survive.
**[04:19] ---**
Instructor, if that's what you think is best, I'll do it.
**[04:24] ---**
You're all done now.
**[04:26] ---**
In every respect, both internally and externally,
your body is free from aftereffects.
**[04:30] ---**
That's a relief.
**[04:37] ---**
Instructor...
**[04:40] ---**
Am I going to be able to become your pupil?
**[04:46] ---**
Milady, it is my great pleasure
to already count you as my pupil.
**[04:55] ---**
I'm looking forward to going to school.
**[04:58] ---**
After all, now I have mana!
**[05:00] ---**
I've been designated with a great Class, too!
**[05:01] ---**
I'm not the least bit different from
everyone else at school now!
**[05:04] ---**
I forgot to tell you...
Friends! Friends!
**[05:06] ---**
Until the public tournament one week from today,
**[05:08] ---**
I'm forbidding you to use any mana
outside of your lessons with me.
**[05:12] ---**
Huh?
**[05:17] ---**
The tournament is coming up soon.
**[05:19] ---**
Ah, I'm getting nervous about it already.
**[05:21] ---**
Well, we've got Nerva on our side, so we'll be fine.
**[05:26] ---**
My, my...
**[05:28] ---**
You know, I've been wanting to read this book.
**[05:34] ---**
What? It's fine if I have it, right?
**[05:36] ---**
After all, the two of us are friends.
**[05:41] ---**
Come on, Melida, hurry up and get changed.
**[05:43] ---**
We're going to go train.
**[05:46] ---**
I, uh...
**[05:48] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[05:50] ---**
Fine, then.
**[05:52] ---**
You've saved me some trouble - that's one less burden.
**[05:55] ---**
Seems that lessons with her tutor are
more important to Melida than her friends.
**[06:01] ---**
She's quite heartless, isn't she?
**[06:02] ---**
Sure is!
**[06:02] ---**
No kidding!
**[06:11] ---**
It's a shame considering I'm finally able to use mana now.
**[06:14] ---**
You've only just awakened your ability,
so it's currently still imperfect.
**[06:17] ---**
I know that...
**[06:19] ---**
The fateful day is a week from now.
**[06:21] ---**
Until then, keep giving even your school
friends the wrong idea about you.
**[06:28] ---**
If you can do that, those girls will witness an
unprecedent miracle before their very eyes.
**[06:33] ---**
Understood, Instructor.
**[06:35] ---**
Be that as it may...
**[06:37] ---**
Do you people over there spying on us
have some kind of business with milady?
**[06:44] ---**
Hi there.
**[06:46] ---**
Elli...
**[06:48] ---**
Um, about before...
**[06:55] ---**
Seems we meet again, Mr. Perfect Gentleman!
**[06:58] ---**
So it was you, huh?
**[07:01] ---**
Uh, Instructor, who might that be?
**[07:04] ---**
Nice to meet you!
**[07:06] ---**
I'm Rosetti Pricket, and I've recently
become Lady Elise's private tutor.
**[07:12] ---**
"Rosetti"... Are you truly THAT Rosetti Pricket?!
**[07:17] ---**
Wow, you say that just like I'm famous.
**[07:21] ---**
Not "just like" - you actually are famous.
**[07:25] ---**
That's because, despite being born in
the lower-social-stratum living quarters,
**[07:27] ---**
she awakened her mana at a very young age.
**[07:30] ---**
And not only did she succeed in being
the youngest ever to join Crest Legion,
**[07:33] ---**
she was also granted the special title of
Career Marquess by His Majesty the King.
**[07:39] ---**
People are always exaggerating my achievements,
**[07:41] ---**
but don't mind any of that and just
call me "Rose," Lady Melida.
**[07:45] ---**
O-okay!
**[07:49] ---**
Actually, I've also heard a bit about
you from Lady Elise, Mr. Kufa Vampir!
**[07:55] ---**
Seeing as we're both employees of the
House of Angel and both private tutors...
**[07:59] ---**
I hope we can get along!
**[08:05] ---**
Huh?!
**[08:07] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[08:09] ---**
But I cannot afford the luxury of getting along with you.
**[08:11] ---**
Wh-why?!
**[08:14] ---**
Because a blithe woman such as yourself would
have a bad influence on Lady Melida's education.
**[08:19] ---**
What do you mean "blithe"?!
**[08:21] ---**
I don't believe this - last time we met
you were so kind and gentlemanly!
**[08:25] ---**
Not only the young ladies, but also those in charge
of their education are subject to public comparison.
**[08:29] ---**
Hmph!
**[08:31] ---**
I'll show you!
**[08:33] ---**
My young lady is going to trounce
your Lady Melida at the tournament!
**[08:40] ---**
You got that?
**[08:43] ---**
Instructor Rose...
**[08:46] ---**
Come on, let's head home, milady.
**[08:59] ---**
The big day has finally arrived.
**[09:03] ---**
Instructor... I'm scared.
**[09:07] ---**
I want to get out of here.
**[09:09] ---**
It will be alright.
**[09:11] ---**
After all, you've trained thoroughly leading up to today.
**[09:14] ---**
But, there's such a huge crowd of people...
**[09:22] ---**
Father...
**[09:41] ---**
I... don't have any confidence in myself.
**[09:45] ---**
Milady, it is about time for me to head to the stands.
**[09:50] ---**
What is to be done?
**[09:52] ---**
As things stand, she can only
manifest half her power at best.
**[09:55] ---**
Oh, Melida!
**[09:58] ---**
I heard the news.
**[09:59] ---**
It seems Yuffie's unit took you on.
**[10:03] ---**
Y-yeah.
**[10:06] ---**
I pity your family.
**[10:09] ---**
To think they have to watch as you embarrass
yourself in front of a crowd and get laughed at!
**[10:16] ---**
Seriously, why is a girl like you
even a student at our academy?
**[10:20] ---**
You're so unsightly that, as a friend,
I can't bear watching you.
**[10:25] ---**
Lady Nerva.
**[10:28] ---**
With all due respect, I have a favor to ask.
**[10:32] ---**
Why, Instructor, please go
ahead and ask anything of me.
**[10:37] ---**
Thank you.
**[10:38] ---**
In that case...
**[10:40] ---**
My ears can't take any more of your jabbering,
so can you please shut up?
**[10:44] ---**
You monkey girl.
**[10:47] ---**
How dare you say something like that to me!
**[10:50] ---**
You don't know the first thing about Lady Melida.
**[10:53] ---**
Has a nameless noble like yourself gotten
carried away now that he's employed by a duke?
**[10:58] ---**
Hmph!
**[10:59] ---**
You call yourself a private tutor.
**[11:02] ---**
But I bet you just read her picture
books and collect your salary!
**[11:11] ---**
He's the very best tutor around!
**[11:13] ---**
I'm not about to let you get away with mocking him!
**[11:16] ---**
I'm gonna completely destroy you in the tournament!
**[11:20] ---**
Now you've gone and said it! You hopeless failure.
**[11:24] ---**
Well then, I'm looking forward to this.
**[11:37] ---**
I've gone and done it now!
**[11:39] ---**
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
**[11:41] ---**
Seems milady...
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
**[11:43] ---**
Is the type who's able to summon
her strength not for own sake,
**[11:45] ---**
but for the sake of others.
**[11:50] ---**
Look, even Sir Felgus Angel is in attendance.
**[11:54] ---**
And next to him... Is that Lord Mordrew?
**[11:57] ---**
That's her grandfather - Lady Melida's, I mean.
**[12:00] ---**
Ah, the girl who rumor has it can't use mana...
**[12:09] ---**
To put it in the extreme,
**[12:11] ---**
depending on the results of this tournament...
**[12:13] ---**
it is possible that both milady
and I will end up being disposed of.
**[12:18] ---**
Seems you're feeling the pressure,
Mr. Black-Hearted Sham Gentleman.
**[12:22] ---**
Ah, if it isn't Ms. Prick.
**[12:24] ---**
My name's "Pricket," okay?!
**[12:25] ---**
Something I can do for you?
**[12:29] ---**
My Lady Elise was concerned...
**[12:32] ---**
About Lady Melida, that is.
**[12:34] ---**
Melida, there's no need for you to do anything, okay?
**[12:36] ---**
Just leave everything to us.
**[12:39] ---**
B-But...!
**[12:47] ---**
And now...
**[12:49] ---**
I present the St. Friedeswiede Girls' Academy
end-of-semester public tournament...
**[12:53] ---**
Let the first match begin!
**[12:57] ---**
Charge!
**[13:03] ---**
Melida...?
**[13:10] ---**
Instructor, please watch me now!
**[13:19] ---**
I'm so happy that it's YOU who
is the first to come greet me!
**[13:23] ---**
If you want to stand out that badly, I'll help you out!
**[13:27] ---**
By making this the final stage of the
"incompetent talented girl"!
**[13:30] ---**
I'll pummel up each of your limbs and
make you shamefully grovel before me!
**[13:53] ---**
Melida Angel...
**[13:55] ---**
Can use mana?!
**[13:58] ---**
Lady Melida just used mana!
**[14:01] ---**
That right there is the warrior
who you all called worthless!
**[14:06] ---**
Why are you acting all proud of yourself?
**[14:09] ---**
The little baby simply learned how to use a tool is all!
**[14:16] ---**
Just because your opponent has a weapon doesn't
mean that's necessarily what they'll attack with.
**[14:21] ---**
Y-you little...!
**[14:34] ---**
I, of all people...
**[14:36] ---**
I, of all people...
**[14:38] ---**
ending up like this!
**[14:40] ---**
It's Melida Angel we're talking about here...
**[14:42] ---**
It's just Melida Angel...
**[14:44] ---**
Just Melida Angel...
**[14:46] ---**
It's only that damn Melida Angel!
**[14:54] ---**
Garrick Hammer!
**[15:20] ---**
Dear me, was that too intense for a wee
babe who's only just learned to use mana?
**[15:28] ---**
But, we are friends, after all.
**[15:31] ---**
If you surrender, I'll spare you further suffering.
**[15:38] ---**
...were more frightening.
**[15:39] ---**
Huh? Say what?
**[15:41] ---**
Sorry, but I didn't catch a word of that.
**[15:47] ---**
I'll hear what you have to say in the nurse's office.
**[15:57] ---**
I said, "Instructor's attacks were more frightening."
**[16:07] ---**
She must be in pain, right?
**[16:08] ---**
Yes.
**[16:10] ---**
However, compared to the pain
she's experienced up till now...
**[16:14] ---**
it might hardly register.
**[16:20] ---**
Don't mess around with me...
**[16:22] ---**
you damn incompetent talented girl!
**[16:38] ---**
The mana's been used up?!
The mana's been used up?!
**[16:42] ---**
You got too cocky!
**[16:48] ---**
Funny, isn't it, Melida?!
**[16:50] ---**
That's right!
**[16:51] ---**
Turning tail and running away like that really suits you!
**[17:01] ---**
"Instructor's attacks were more frightening"...?
**[17:05] ---**
Take that back!
**[17:06] ---**
In truth, I'm the one who's frightening, right?
**[17:09] ---**
You dared defy me of all people,
so now repent as you wail out!
**[17:15] ---**
You don't frighten me.
**[17:16] ---**
Huh?
**[17:17] ---**
You can't begin to compare with my instructor!
**[17:21] ---**
You little...!
**[17:23] ---**
You're just Melida... Just Melida... Just Melida...
**[17:26] ---**
Why the hell did you awaken to mana now of all times?!
**[17:32] ---**
That's the girl, right?
**[17:34] ---**
Oh, that's who everyone's talking about.
**[17:37] ---**
So you're that much-talked-about
"incompetent talented girl," huh?
**[17:42] ---**
It's alright if you don't have mana.
**[17:44] ---**
I'll still be your friend for good.
**[17:50] ---**
Happy to hear it! Thanks!
**[17:55] ---**
You should've just stayed exactly like that!
**[17:57] ---**
You should've remained my
friend and not kicked up a fuss!
**[18:01] ---**
That was what...
**[18:02] ---**
That was just what you deserved!
**[18:13] ---**
I'm going to make it so that
you can't even lift up a spoon.
**[18:17] ---**
Garrick Ham-
**[18:20] ---**
Phantom-Blade Flash...
**[18:23] ---**
Wind Fang!
**[18:40] ---**
That was a phantom-blade technique!
**[18:42] ---**
She did that after watching me use such a skill just once?
**[18:45] ---**
So she trained over and over again in secret, did she?
**[18:51] ---**
I'll be borrowing this.
**[18:52] ---**
I don't think so!
**[18:56] ---**
Go now, Melida Angel!
**[18:57] ---**
We'll handle things here.
**[18:59] ---**
Not so fast!
**[19:02] ---**
Quickly now!
**[19:03] ---**
Go, Melida!
**[19:25] ---**
Ah, Instructor!
**[19:27] ---**
Did you see that?!
**[19:29] ---**
I...
**[19:33] ---**
Brilliantly done, milady.
**[19:35] ---**
You exceeded my expectations.
**[19:37] ---**
I-Instructor! I'm no longer a child, you know.
**[19:46] ---**
F-Father...
**[19:50] ---**
Father!
**[19:52] ---**
I-I won!
**[19:54] ---**
For the very first time, I won!
**[19:57] ---**
I was watching.
**[20:00] ---**
Don't get too excited after a single victory.
**[20:03] ---**
Before saying such a thing,
**[20:05] ---**
first prove yourself all-conquering
in a match against another school.
**[20:19] ---**
Milady, aren't you glad?
**[20:23] ---**
No, not really.
**[20:29] ---**
Please, think about what just happened.
**[20:31] ---**
Today, you worked up the courage
to speak to the master of the house.
**[20:36] ---**
And, although his response wasn't the one you desired,
**[20:39] ---**
he did indeed respond to you.
**[20:42] ---**
That is a big step forward.
**[20:45] ---**
Instructor...
**[20:47] ---**
Melida Angel!
**[20:49] ---**
Nerva?!
**[20:55] ---**
I've finished reading this, so I'm returning it.
**[21:00] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[21:10] ---**
Leaving that aside, isn't the next match starting soon?
**[21:13] ---**
Ah! Oh, dear!
**[21:24] ---**
That's Lady Elise for you.
**[21:26] ---**
You must be joking. In a mere 13 seconds?!
**[21:29] ---**
So this is the power of a Paladin?
**[21:37] ---**
Elli...?
**[23:16] ---**
Oh, boy... good grief.
**[23:18] ---**
This place stinks of Nectar, and I'm growing sick of it.
**[23:28] ---**
Melida Angel...
**[23:32] ---**
That girl's no Paladin.
**[23:36] ---**

**[01:31] ---**
"Circlet Night"?
**[01:33] ---**
It's a festival to wish
for the peace of the city
**[01:33] ---**
Going Beyond the Limit
**[01:36] ---**
that will be held for two
days over the weekend.
**[01:38] ---**
That sounds like fun.
**[01:41] ---**
Instructor, do you like festivals?
**[01:43] ---**
Hmm, can't really say.
**[01:46] ---**
Jeez, what's wrong with just telling me?!
**[01:49] ---**
You know my body in and out,
**[01:51] ---**
so it's quite unfair that I know hardly
anything about you, Instructor!
**[01:56] ---**
M-Milady...
**[01:57] ---**
Well, that's the truth.
**[02:05] ---**
To be honest, I don't know
much about festivals.
**[02:09] ---**
Huh?
**[02:10] ---**
I do hail from the land of
eternal night, after all.
**[02:13] ---**
You mean the lower-social-stratum
living quarters?
**[02:16] ---**
Further out beyond there.
**[02:19] ---**
Rather than saying I lived there,
**[02:20] ---**
it was more like I somehow
managed to survive there.
**[02:24] ---**
O-oh, I see.
**[02:27] ---**
Anyway, what's with that dress?
**[02:29] ---**
Ah, right.
**[02:31] ---**
This is the costume for
the festival's parade.
**[02:34] ---**
All the St. Friedeswiede's students will
wear it and join in a parade, you see.
**[02:39] ---**
Please try it on and let me have a look.
**[02:41] ---**
I-I can't do that!
**[02:44] ---**
For a long time now,
**[02:46] ---**
I've looked forward to wearing the
same outfit as Elli and joining the parade,
**[02:49] ---**
so I don't want to spoil the big day.
**[02:53] ---**
Oh, is that right?
**[02:55] ---**
That sounds nice, milady.
**[02:57] ---**
Yeah!
**[02:59] ---**
Um...
**[03:00] ---**
Instructor...
**[03:02] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[03:04] ---**
I-if it is alright with you,
**[03:07] ---**
wh-when they have the campfire...
**[03:10] ---**
I was thinking I'd really like
for you to dance with me...
**[03:14] ---**
I'm afraid I can't.
**[03:16] ---**
Due to a commitment related
to a previous assignment,
**[03:18] ---**
I must return to the Holy Monarch District.
**[03:22] ---**
Huh?
**[03:23] ---**
Is that so?
**[03:25] ---**
However...
**[03:26] ---**
I'll be able to come back
on the festival's final day.
**[03:29] ---**
So would you do me the pleasure
of dancing with me then?
**[03:34] ---**
I'll be sure to keep my hand open
so that it's ready for you to take!
**[03:37] ---**
Oh my, what an honor.
**[03:42] ---**
Your performance at the match the
other day was most splendid.
**[03:48] ---**
Milady, the masters of the
house were also most pleased.
**[03:53] ---**
Yes. I'm happy.
**[03:56] ---**
However...
**[03:57] ---**
you were in a bit too much of
a rush to clinch the match.
**[04:01] ---**
Had you given Lady Melida a sound beating and
**[04:03] ---**
made her kneel before you
with the spectators watching,
**[04:07] ---**
which of you is worthy of being the legitimate
successor of the House of Angel
**[04:10] ---**
would have been clear for everyone to see.
**[04:16] ---**
Mrs. Othello.
**[04:17] ---**
A costume has arrived from the academy.
**[04:20] ---**
Ah, must be the one for the festival.
**[04:27] ---**
Dear me!
**[04:28] ---**
What in the world is this
shabby piece of cloth?!
**[04:31] ---**
We certainly cannot allow Lady
Elise to wear such a rag!
**[04:36] ---**
We shall prepare a new costume for you.
**[04:38] ---**
One that will make it easy for us to
show you aren't like the other children!
**[04:49] ---**
Melida, over here!
**[04:55] ---**
How beautiful!
**[04:57] ---**
This cloth is made from flame-bird feathers!
**[05:00] ---**
And that gem is a fire-starter stone!
**[05:03] ---**
Lady Elise, where did you get that outfit?
**[05:07] ---**
My family had it made for me.
**[05:10] ---**
What do you think of that?
**[05:11] ---**
I don't care whether she comes
from a Knight-Duke House or not.
**[05:15] ---**
These are precious costumes that've been
handed down by our seniors at this school,
**[05:19] ---**
but it seems even that doesn't matter to her!
**[05:23] ---**
No! Elli isn't self-centered like that!
**[05:27] ---**
Lady Elise, where are you going?
**[05:30] ---**
Elli...
**[05:36] ---**
I'd been wanting to wear it...
**[05:38] ---**
I'd been looking forward to it...
**[05:40] ---**
I can't stand being the
only one wearing this.
**[05:43] ---**
If only I could've worn what I wanted...!
**[05:46] ---**
Elli...
**[05:51] ---**
Elli...?
**[05:53] ---**
E-Elli...
**[05:55] ---**
Um...
**[05:59] ---**
What?!
**[06:00] ---**
Who the hell are you guys?!
**[06:02] ---**
Do I look like Prince Charming?
**[06:09] ---**
You...
**[06:12] ---**
Lita!
**[06:13] ---**
NOO!
**[06:21] ---**
Wh-what is this...?
**[06:24] ---**
Wh-where am I?
**[06:25] ---**
Oh, you're awake.
**[06:27] ---**
You're that guy from before!
**[06:33] ---**
It's no use.
**[06:36] ---**
You're a lancanthrope, aren't you?
**[06:39] ---**
Why're you hanging around with humans?!
**[06:42] ---**
Say, you're not a Paladin, are you?
**[06:46] ---**
Despite being a member of the
Knight-Duke House of Angel...
**[06:50] ---**
Wh-what're you talking about?
**[06:52] ---**
I'm a human, you know.
**[06:54] ---**
Well, I am half-lancanthrope, though.
**[06:58] ---**
A being reborn as an artificial lancanthrope
**[07:01] ---**
when a certain organization transplanted
the night gene-factor into him
**[07:04] ---**
in the hope of obtaining the
power to compete with mana users...
**[07:08] ---**
That's what I am.
**[07:10] ---**
By the way, our organization
goes by the name "Guild Grimfice."
**[07:14] ---**
Heard of us?
**[07:15] ---**
Wh-why me?!
**[07:18] ---**
You used your power in a flashy
way during that match the other day.
**[07:27] ---**
Elli!
**[07:29] ---**
Whoa now, Melida Angel.
**[07:31] ---**
I am going to forcibly mutate
your class to Paladin.
**[07:36] ---**
I will transplant Elise
Angel's ability into you.
**[07:40] ---**
That said, the success rate is low,
**[07:42] ---**
and even if it goes well you might
end up tantamount to a cripple.
**[07:51] ---**
This place is a museum...?
**[07:54] ---**
This whole area has been blocked
off by members of the guild,
**[07:58] ---**
so no one will be coming to your rescue.
**[08:01] ---**
That'd be hard for someone without
connections to a Knight-Duke House...
**[08:05] ---**
Father...?!
**[08:10] ---**
Elli!
**[08:11] ---**
I see you're finally awake!
**[08:12] ---**
People with sheltered upbringings
lack a sense of danger, huh?
**[08:17] ---**
No!
**[08:18] ---**
NO!
**[08:19] ---**
Elli...
NO!
**[08:19] ---**
NO!
**[08:20] ---**
NOOO!
**[08:24] ---**
I'm scared.
**[08:28] ---**
You're alright, Elli.
**[08:30] ---**
I'm right here next to you.
**[08:34] ---**
That's why I knew that
I had to become strong.
**[08:38] ---**
And yet...
**[08:39] ---**
Hey, hold her down!
**[08:41] ---**
No! Stay back!
**[08:49] ---**
How weak of me to have been
waiting for Elli to save me!
**[08:52] ---**
I'm going to protect Elli!
**[08:54] ---**
What in the world are ya doing?
**[08:56] ---**
No matter how much noise you make,
there's nobody anywhere around here, remember?
**[09:02] ---**
Elli, this way!
**[09:17] ---**
Looks like there's an emergency
exit toward the back of Area No. 3.
**[09:20] ---**
Let's go.
**[09:21] ---**
Don't cry, Elli!
**[09:24] ---**
But, it's all so...
**[09:26] ---**
Look, I'm right here next to you!
**[09:28] ---**
Okay?
**[09:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:33] ---**
Alright!
**[09:36] ---**
Hey, those are weapons, right?
**[09:39] ---**
But, I don't feel a divine
nature coming from any of them.
**[09:42] ---**
I don't think they'll work
against lancanthropes.
**[09:46] ---**
We can't use our mana.
**[09:47] ---**
So getting our hands on weapons that
have a divine nature would be nice.
**[09:52] ---**
Oh, I know!
**[09:54] ---**
Sorry about this, Elli!
**[09:55] ---**
Lita...?
**[09:57] ---**
Ah, that's right.
**[09:58] ---**
This dress has fabric made from flame-birds.
**[10:02] ---**
My tutor taught me something:
**[10:04] ---**
"Keep in mind all the possible options your
surroundings offer when you fight.
**[10:08] ---**
Do whatever's necessary to survive,
even if it means tearing the world apart."
**[10:14] ---**
I'll be borrowing this, too.
**[10:17] ---**
The fire-starter stone and flame-bird
feathers are imbued with a divine nature.
**[10:21] ---**
So, if we use this...
**[10:24] ---**
Lita!
**[10:30] ---**
Lita!
**[10:56] ---**
Get away from Elli!
**[10:58] ---**
Here! I'll give you a taste of this, too!
**[11:01] ---**
Your eyeballs are wide open to attack!
**[11:08] ---**
The likes of you all don't
scare me a bit anymore!
**[11:13] ---**
Lita, that was amazing.
**[11:16] ---**
Y-you haven't seen anything yet!
**[11:19] ---**
Ah, there's the emergency exit!
**[11:20] ---**
You're a shockingly tough
little princess, aren't you?
**[11:25] ---**
Hey, Melida.
**[11:26] ---**
Here I am offering to make you a Paladin,
so why're you running?
**[11:31] ---**
I already have the same respectable
Class as my instructor!
**[11:34] ---**
I don't need what you offer!
**[11:40] ---**
You're out of your league.
**[11:46] ---**
Lita!
**[11:50] ---**
Don't try to put up a fight.
**[11:52] ---**
I actually find holding back enough
to not kill you rather difficult.
**[12:02] ---**
Lita...
**[12:06] ---**
You girls...
**[12:16] ---**
Change of plans.
**[12:18] ---**
We're going to dispose
of these two right here.
**[12:21] ---**
B-but...!
**[12:22] ---**
If we let them live,
**[12:24] ---**
there's no question they'll become
a threat to us in the near future.
**[12:28] ---**
There was no expectation for them
to survive the procedure anyway.
**[12:31] ---**
We can think up an excuse.
**[12:42] ---**
Bye now.
**[12:57] ---**
Sorry we took so long, milady.
**[13:01] ---**
I received a message from my guild as I
was traveling and hurried back here.
**[13:05] ---**
You all, say your prayers!
**[13:07] ---**
Forget the kids - kill those knights!
**[13:15] ---**
Rose!
**[13:23] ---**
Scarlet Phoenix: Kagura.
**[13:27] ---**
Elle Adora Avalanche!
**[13:43] ---**
Amazing...
**[13:45] ---**
This feeling...
**[13:46] ---**
This sense of unity...
**[13:48] ---**
Is a first for me.
**[13:49] ---**
Please see to the young ladies.
**[13:51] ---**
Ah, wai-!
**[13:53] ---**
Jeez!
**[14:02] ---**
I suspected it was you.
**[14:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:05] ---**
Well, you were given the job
first but you've left it undone,
**[14:08] ---**
which is probably why my
guild was mobilized, right?
**[14:11] ---**
Just as I thought, Lord
Mordrew is behind this...
**[14:14] ---**
I won't allow you to keep meddling
in the young ladies' affairs.
**[14:31] ---**
This is our trump card.
**[14:49] ---**
That thing's...
**[14:53] ---**
A man-made lancanthrope...
**[14:56] ---**
"Haunted Chimera."
**[14:58] ---**
The development concept was,
**[15:00] ---**
"a monster that humans are
absolutely no match for."
**[15:03] ---**
The secret to that lies in maxing
out all of its abilities.
**[15:09] ---**
Well then, let's pick up from
where we left off last time.
**[15:17] ---**
I see you're as quick as ever!
**[15:19] ---**
Same goes for you.
**[15:23] ---**
What bothersome bandages...
**[15:25] ---**
Over there, huh?!
**[15:27] ---**
You reacted well, but...
**[15:35] ---**
Ultimate Unsheathing...
**[15:37] ---**
Radiant-Night War-Storm!
**[15:49] ---**
You damned monster!
**[15:56] ---**
You finally left yourself open to attack.
**[15:58] ---**
I won't be letting you use any mana.
**[16:10] ---**
Ah, humans are so fragile...
**[16:22] ---**
You got a blow in, huh?
**[16:24] ---**
I thought I had sealed off your mana...
**[16:29] ---**
Nevertheless...
**[16:32] ---**
You no longer have any future as a warrior.
**[16:36] ---**
Is that girl really worth all
you've done to protect her?
**[16:39] ---**
I believe so.
**[16:41] ---**
Sooner or later milady will surpass me,
**[16:43] ---**
defeat every last fierce fighter around,
**[16:46] ---**
and come to stand atop all of Flandore.
**[16:49] ---**
Although previously disdained as an
"incompetent talented girl,"
**[16:53] ---**
her gallant figure will become a source of hope
for all those who lead thankless existences.
**[16:57] ---**
And thus, here I stand.
**[17:02] ---**
Risking my life, I WILL nurture that girl!
**[17:06] ---**
You felt it too, didn't you?
**[17:08] ---**
In that case.
**[17:09] ---**
I can't waste any time crushing
the both of you at all costs!
**[17:27] ---**
In the end, he didn't even make a move, huh?
**[17:32] ---**
Well, I'm feeling better now.
**[17:35] ---**
Next, it's time to go kill Meli-
**[17:47] ---**
Ridiculous!
**[17:48] ---**
That thing is fully maxed out!
**[17:50] ---**
There's no way a human could rival it!
**[17:53] ---**
"Maxed out," huh?
**[17:55] ---**
Sorry to say, but...
**[17:57] ---**
I'm currently breaking the limits!
**[18:33] ---**
What the...?
**[18:45] ---**
Impossible!
**[18:46] ---**
Don't tell me that power is...
**[18:54] ---**
A vampire!
**[18:59] ---**
What's the strongest type of lancanthrope
doing in a place like this?!
**[19:07] ---**
I'm also half human.
**[19:10] ---**
Much like you, I'm not fully one thing.
**[19:14] ---**
Relax, I'm not going to kill you.
**[19:17] ---**
Wh-what?!
**[19:19] ---**
You were attempting to mutate
Melida Angel's Class.
**[19:23] ---**
However, just before you tried it,
she exhibited Paladin-like power.
**[19:28] ---**
And, with that, it's virtually confirmed that
she's a descendant of a Knight-Duke House.
**[19:33] ---**
"Just how would Melida Angel's life or
death affect your own position?
**[19:38] ---**
After giving it ample thought,
consider your future course of action."
**[19:43] ---**
Pass that on to your client.
**[19:45] ---**
You got that?
**[19:47] ---**
U-understood.
**[19:49] ---**
Alright.
**[19:57] ---**
Do you really intend to train Melida Angel
into the ultimate warrior?
**[20:01] ---**
If that girl fully develops,
it might be you who becomes the hunted!
**[20:10] ---**
If that time comes, I will
gladly stick out my neck.
**[20:21] ---**
This is a report on the act of terror
recently carried out by Guild Grimfice.
**[20:28] ---**
There's quite a lot in it
that's hard to make sense of.
**[20:31] ---**
Black Madia.
**[20:33] ---**
Make contact with Melida Angel, who's at
the center of this, as well as Kufa Vampir,
**[20:37] ---**
and find out what it is they're hiding.
**[20:47] ---**
If he turned down the mission,
shall I take him down?
**[21:00] ---**
Looks like a fun carnival is about to begin.
**[21:06] ---**
Huh?! My father, you say?!
**[21:08] ---**
Yes.
**[21:08] ---**
He noticed something off with the way the
stationing of the guards had changed,
**[21:12] ---**
and he assisted in determining
the location of you girls.
**[21:27] ---**
Milady, may I have the
pleasure of this dance?
**[21:33] ---**
Yes!
**[21:39] ---**
Instructor...
**[21:41] ---**
how long will you keep on being my tutor?
**[21:46] ---**
What's this all of a sudden?
**[21:49] ---**
I feel like it's not natural for you to be
at the side of someone like me.
**[21:55] ---**
But...
**[21:58] ---**
I want to be together with
you forever, Instructor!
**[22:01] ---**
Right now, I'm still a
little lady, but one day
**[22:04] ---**
I'll stand by your side as
a lady who's worthy of you!
**[22:07] ---**
That's why...
**[22:09] ---**
I want you to wait for me, you see...
**[22:20] ---**
Rest easy, milady.
**[22:23] ---**
That's what I'm here for.
**[22:25] ---**
I will lead you to far
greater heights than these.
**[22:30] ---**
You have not a thing to worry about.
**[22:35] ---**
And that's because I can say with pride:
**[22:39] ---**
You are my pupil.
**[23:35] ---**

**[00:16] ---**
Mother... where are you?
**[00:28] ---**
Get away from Elli!
**[00:37] ---**
Lita!
**[00:39] ---**
It's alright now, Elli!
**[00:50] ---**
Oh, come on.
**[00:51] ---**
It's hard to walk when you
cling on me like that.
**[00:53] ---**
But, it's just...
**[00:54] ---**
Elli, you're such a baby, you know that?
**[00:57] ---**
We're going to be second-graders soon.
**[01:00] ---**
We'll be the big girls among
the lower-grade students,
**[01:02] ---**
so you have to shape up.
**[01:05] ---**
There's no need to.
**[01:07] ---**
Elli, you can already use mana, right?
**[01:09] ---**
Forget about that!
**[01:11] ---**
I just want to stay your
"little sister" forever, Lita.
**[01:13] ---**
That's okay, isn't it?
**[01:15] ---**
Oh, Elli...
**[03:14] ---**
Oh, come on.
**[03:14] ---**
Two Young Ladies Assemble
at the Chained Castle
**[03:15] ---**
It's hard to walk when you
cling on me like that.
**[03:18] ---**
Well, it's because I'm happy.
**[03:19] ---**
Starting today we're going to be
together all the time for a week, Lita.
**[03:22] ---**
Well, I'm happy about too...
**[03:26] ---**
Those two act just like
actual sisters, don't they?
**[03:29] ---**
Yes, but...
**[03:31] ---**
What is this here?
**[03:33] ---**
Huh?
**[03:35] ---**
How many times do I need to tell you?
**[03:37] ---**
Me and you are, respectively, tutors for a
head family and a branch family of that House.
**[03:40] ---**
We are rivals to each other.
**[03:43] ---**
I don't think it's a problem!
**[03:44] ---**
After all, the two young
ladies get along great!
**[03:47] ---**
Even if that's the case,
**[03:49] ---**
the issue is how our clients
would feel about it.
**[03:52] ---**
At the very least, the head maid of your
residence doesn't seem to share your opinion.
**[03:58] ---**
I hear she strong-armed her own
name onto the visitors' list.
**[04:03] ---**
She said they couldn't depend on me alone.
**[04:05] ---**
Oh my, sounds like it will be a "fun" week.
**[04:09] ---**
Well, anyway...
**[04:12] ---**
Nonetheless...
**[04:14] ---**
we have but one mission...
**[04:17] ---**
To protect the enjoyable school
life of our respective charges.
**[04:23] ---**
Who do you think the
cadets will be this year?
**[04:26] ---**
Naturally, there's no doubt
President Christa will be one.
**[04:29] ---**
She's already vowed that this is the
year she'll seize the title of "Luna"!
**[04:33] ---**
Well, there's no question who
the other girl will be, either!
**[04:36] ---**
Last year's Queen, Shenfa Zwitoque!
**[04:39] ---**
How lovely the both of them are!
**[04:41] ---**
As the pride of St. Friedeswiede,
the names of those two are sure to be up there!
**[04:45] ---**
Our school will surely secure the
title of Luna again this year!
**[04:48] ---**
A match against a sister school
gets everyone fired up, doesn't it?!
**[04:52] ---**
Seems the cadets are chosen from among the most
outstanding students in the higher grades, huh?
**[04:58] ---**
Join my unit?
**[05:00] ---**
A-am I asking too much?
**[05:03] ---**
I-I get it.
**[05:04] ---**
For one thing, Elli, there's too much
of a disparity between our Statuses,
**[05:08] ---**
and, as for our actual abilities...
**[05:10] ---**
But...!
**[05:11] ---**
If...
**[05:12] ---**
If I could somehow fight alongside you,
it would be just wonderful.
**[05:22] ---**
Good morning, Melida.
**[05:26] ---**
Good morning, Nerva.
**[05:32] ---**
Lita...
**[05:32] ---**
Good morning, everyone.
**[05:35] ---**
Elli, let's go.
**[05:38] ---**
At long last, today marks the start of this
year's Luna Lumiere Selection Tournament!
**[05:44] ---**
As you know,
**[05:45] ---**
the Luna Lumiere Selection
Tournament is a joint event
**[05:49] ---**
conducted with our sister school,
St. d'Autriche Girls' Academy.
**[05:54] ---**
With the title of "Moon Goddess: Luna Lumiere"
on the line, the cadets representing each school
**[05:59] ---**
will confront a harsh trial.
**[06:02] ---**
The "Luna Lumiere Selection Tournament"...
**[06:04] ---**
With two students selected from each school,
there's a total of four students who compete.
**[06:08] ---**
Furthermore...
**[06:09] ---**
During the weeklong period
when the tournament is held,
**[06:11] ---**
all contact with the
outside world is cut off.
**[06:14] ---**
The trial that the cadets will undertake takes
place on the final day of the tournament.
**[06:18] ---**
However, that alone does not
determine the tournament's outcome.
**[06:22] ---**
For the next seven days,
**[06:23] ---**
your conduct within the school,
**[06:25] ---**
the effort you show with
regard to the trial...
**[06:27] ---**
All of those are things
you may be judged upon.
**[06:31] ---**
Your performance in the trial,
**[06:32] ---**
as well as the votes cast by everyone...
**[06:35] ---**
Based on those results,
the cadet who receives the most points overall
**[06:39] ---**
will officially receive the
distinction of "Luna Lumiere"!
**[06:46] ---**
That surprise you, Salacha?
**[06:49] ---**
Keira...
**[06:51] ---**
They're the Valkyries who
guard this glass palace.
**[06:55] ---**
No one will be allowed entry to the palace
without having received permission!
**[06:59] ---**
If you desire to enter,
**[07:01] ---**
present proof that you have
bene given permission!
**[07:04] ---**
Fascinating, aren't they?
**[07:05] ---**
Yeah...
**[07:10] ---**
Keira Espada...
**[07:12] ---**
along with the rest of the group from
St. d'Autriche Girls' Academy.
**[07:15] ---**
We have received permission.
**[07:17] ---**
Allow us to pass.
**[07:21] ---**
It would seem they are
being allowed to enter.
**[07:24] ---**
Now, let us greet our friends!
**[07:32] ---**
Welcome!
**[07:33] ---**
Sure enough, one of d'Autriche's
cadets is Keira.
**[07:37] ---**
She's d'Autriche's "Prince"!
**[07:39] ---**
Who's that next to her?
**[07:40] ---**
It seems to be a first-year student...
**[07:42] ---**
Now that you mention it, I've heard of her.
**[07:44] ---**
Word is they've got this
amazing first-year girl...
**[07:46] ---**
She's cute, isn't she?
**[07:57] ---**
And now, moving right along,
allow me to present our academy's cadets.
**[08:02] ---**
The cadets are...
**[08:06] ---**
They must be kidding, right?
**[08:13] ---**
The cadets are...
**[08:14] ---**
Melida Angel and Elise Angel.
**[08:18] ---**
But why...? This can't be happening...
**[08:21] ---**
The two of you, come up here.
**[08:31] ---**
Quiet down!
**[08:33] ---**
We now assembled together the
cadets from both academies.
**[08:36] ---**
Next, allow me to unveil
details of the trial.
**[08:39] ---**
In this commemorable 50th year of the
Luna Lumiere Selection Tournament,
**[08:44] ---**
the trial will be held right
here in Glassmond Palace.
**[08:48] ---**
The trial is a round-robin battle royal between
groups of three students, each led by a cadet.
**[08:55] ---**
Each student will have a medal
like this pinned to their chest,
**[08:59] ---**
and the team that captures the most of them
within the time limit will be declared the winner.
**[09:03] ---**
Without further ado...
**[09:05] ---**
Let us have the cadets each
select two of their schoolmates.
**[09:09] ---**
Melida Angel, we will start with you.
**[09:13] ---**
Who will fight alongside you?
**[09:16] ---**
W-well...
**[09:21] ---**
Melida?
**[09:23] ---**
I will!
**[09:32] ---**
Well then, I'll be the other teammate.
**[09:44] ---**
Listen here, all I did was take responsibility
as your former Blumen teammate.
**[09:48] ---**
I look forward to teaming up, Melida.
**[09:51] ---**
Y-yeah...
**[09:53] ---**
The cadets and their units, who together will
be taking on this year's trial, have assembled.
**[09:58] ---**
And now, from this very moment,
let the selection tournament begin.
**[10:02] ---**
Chained Castle!
**[10:12] ---**
There's something suspicious about that
"incompetent talented girl" being named as a cadet.
**[10:16] ---**
It was really painful seeing the
disappointment on President Christa's face.
**[10:20] ---**
There's gotta be some kinda ploy at work...
**[10:21] ---**
Yeah, I bet she secretly
switched the stained glass!
**[10:24] ---**
How horrible!
**[10:28] ---**
I...
**[10:29] ---**
I didn't do it!
**[10:31] ---**
I...
**[10:34] ---**
Milady...
**[10:36] ---**
Even if the whole world
harbors suspicions about you,
**[10:38] ---**
I alone will stand by you.
**[10:41] ---**
Instructor...
**[10:43] ---**
So please, milady.
**[10:45] ---**
Believe in me.
**[10:47] ---**
Especially when I say that I believe in you.
**[10:51] ---**
Okay.
**[10:56] ---**
Garrick Hammer!
**[10:59] ---**
Impartation Unsheathing!
**[11:05] ---**
You need to work the timing
of that sword draw!
**[11:07] ---**
Understood.
**[11:09] ---**
Hey!
**[11:10] ---**
Could you at least make
my weapon a bit lighter?!
**[11:14] ---**
If Melida gets injured, it will
cause problems for all of us.
**[11:17] ---**
No can do.
**[11:18] ---**
That would reduce the sense of tension.
**[11:21] ---**
When you're able to amp it up to 120 percent,
you'll finally be able to use it in the actual match.
**[11:26] ---**
At least let us take a little break.
**[11:28] ---**
I'm asking for my own sake too, Instructor.
**[11:31] ---**
I suppose there's no helping it.
**[11:33] ---**
Milady, let's take a short rest.
**[11:37] ---**
O-okay.
**[11:45] ---**
The way things stand,
**[11:46] ---**
no way I can go toe-to-toe
in combat with Elli...
**[11:52] ---**
How do you do, Melida Angel?
**[12:01] ---**
The "incompetent talented
girl" of Friedeswiede.
**[12:05] ---**
You're famous, you know.
**[12:06] ---**
Two young ladies from the House of Angel,
**[12:08] ---**
one from the head family and
one from the branch family...
**[12:10] ---**
It's quite ironic that the both of
you were selected as cadets.
**[12:16] ---**
In part for the sake of publicly showing that
you're a genuine descendant of a Duke House,
**[12:21] ---**
you must come out victorious...
**[12:23] ---**
...over Elise Angel.
**[12:25] ---**
But that's not something I...
**[12:27] ---**
If you have such power, you must not waver.
**[12:30] ---**
It is through the display of it that
people will come to trust you.
**[12:34] ---**
If you want to accomplish something,
**[12:35] ---**
you must demonstrate that you
have that power within you...
**[12:40] ---**
Demonstrate... my power...
**[12:45] ---**
I'll be cheering you on, Melida.
**[12:48] ---**
Uh, um...
**[12:56] ---**
Milady.
**[12:58] ---**
Instructor...
**[12:59] ---**
Who was that student just now?
**[13:01] ---**
Um, let's see...
**[13:03] ---**
She's from d'Autriche...
**[13:06] ---**
but I failed to get her name.
**[13:23] ---**
I see you're burning the midnight
oil to destroy evidence.
**[13:30] ---**
Wh-what are you talking about?
**[13:37] ---**
Excuse me...
**[13:39] ---**
Wha-?!
**[13:43] ---**
This is... a shard from the
stained glass, isn't it?
**[13:47] ---**
For someone of your high standing,
you were quite careless.
**[13:50] ---**
I-impossible!
**[13:52] ---**
I made sure to check
myself over this morning.
**[13:53] ---**
Ah, I see. So you made the
swap last night, then.
**[13:57] ---**
You let the cat out of the bag.
**[14:00] ---**
This glass shard isn't from
the stained glass you broke.
**[14:04] ---**
I brought it here myself.
**[14:07] ---**
And that's the score, young ladies.
**[14:10] ---**
Mrs. Othello...
**[14:11] ---**
L-Lady Elise! I was simply...
**[14:15] ---**
Why?
**[14:15] ---**
"Why," you ask?
**[14:17] ---**
Needless to say, for your sake, milady.
**[14:20] ---**
If the two of you vie with one
another in a public setting,
**[14:22] ---**
people will inevitably see which of you
has the qualifications to be an Angel.
**[14:25] ---**
So, you did this in order to make the two
young ladies compete directly against each other?!
**[14:29] ---**
Precisely.
**[14:31] ---**
I've exhausted my patience!
**[14:33] ---**
The idea of that "incompetent talented girl"
standing beside Lady Elise as an equal is too much!
**[14:37] ---**
Being all friendly and acting
like close schoolmates...
**[14:39] ---**
Ah, it makes me sick to my stomach!
**[14:41] ---**
But even so...!
**[14:43] ---**
Elli and I are tied together by precious,
irreplaceable bonds!
**[14:49] ---**
If you want to accomplish something,
**[14:51] ---**
you must demonstrate that you
have that power within you...
**[14:55] ---**
So, please acknowledge me!
**[14:57] ---**
If... If I manage to triumph
over Elli in the trial...
**[15:01] ---**
If I prove that I'm not "incompetent"...
**[15:04] ---**
please permit me to form
a unit together with Elli!
**[15:10] ---**
Lita...
**[15:19] ---**
Excellently done back there.
**[15:21] ---**
Huh?
**[15:27] ---**
That was... I was caught up in the moment...
**[15:29] ---**
That's the kind of thing
that makes you my pupil.
**[15:31] ---**
Catching your opponent off their guard and
hammering them with an unexpected attack...
**[15:36] ---**
You did a really great job.
**[15:38] ---**
Instructor...
**[15:42] ---**
Well, it would be nice if you could
nail the transition from the
**[15:45] ---**
Impartation Unsheathing to the
Feather Slash that skillfully, though.
**[15:48] ---**
Oh, come on!
**[15:50] ---**
Good night.
**[15:52] ---**
Good night, Instructor.
**[16:11] ---**
I never imagined that Mrs. Othello
would do something so wildly reckless.
**[16:20] ---**
It's the first time I've seen
milady looking so distressed.
**[16:38] ---**
An emissary of the White Night.
**[16:43] ---**
What is this all about?
**[16:51] ---**
It's been a while.
**[16:53] ---**
I figured it had to be you...
**[16:54] ---**
Black Madia.
**[17:10] ---**
Elli...
**[17:13] ---**
What have you come here to do?
**[17:16] ---**
They think the report was
incomplete last time.
**[17:20] ---**
Your loyalty is under question.
**[17:21] ---**
I did nothing more than
frankly report the facts.
**[17:24] ---**
There are no grounds for doubting me!
**[17:27] ---**
Nothing hidden?
**[17:30] ---**
Of course not!
**[17:32] ---**
Bring me the blood of Melida Angel.
**[17:37] ---**
Why didn't the mana awake until now?
**[17:40] ---**
It needs further researching.
**[17:44] ---**
Stop it with this nonsense!
**[17:45] ---**
I'm currently an employee
of the House of Angel.
**[17:48] ---**
I can't do anything that would
threaten my position with them!
**[17:52] ---**
I will harvest it myself, then.
**[17:54] ---**
As if I'd let you!
**[18:09] ---**
Exposed your true colors?
**[18:12] ---**
Is it fine if I interpret it like that?
**[18:14] ---**
I currently serve as milady's attendant.
**[18:17] ---**
And I will do my duty!
**[18:25] ---**
What do you mean by "lose on purpose"?
**[18:27] ---**
Just what it sounds like.
**[18:29] ---**
I'll lose to you in the trial, Lita.
**[18:32] ---**
If I do that, Mrs. Othello will be
forced to acknowledge your ability.
**[18:36] ---**
But that... wouldn't be
my real ability at all!
**[18:39] ---**
That's alright.
**[18:40] ---**
What matters is the way it looks.
**[18:44] ---**
Elli, you...
**[18:50] ---**
What's the matter with you?
**[18:55] ---**
I'm filled with excitement
for the first time in ages.
**[18:56] ---**
Cut the crap!
**[19:04] ---**
Rosetti.
**[19:05] ---**
I've already gone and notified
the academy director!
**[19:08] ---**
Didn't I tell you there was
no need for you to come?
**[19:10] ---**
That wasn't going to fly with me.
**[19:12] ---**
Who the hell is that?!
**[19:14] ---**
Carrier Marquis.
**[19:18] ---**
The protector of the other Angel.
**[19:19] ---**
Wh-what's with this girl?!
**[19:22] ---**
Well, never mind that.
**[19:23] ---**
Any who dare disturb the peace
of the academy shall be ejected!
**[19:30] ---**
She's got two weapons?!
**[19:38] ---**
What the hell?!
**[19:40] ---**
Just who are you?!
**[19:45] ---**
The girl is in good hands.
**[19:51] ---**
Is that girl perhaps the one...?
**[19:54] ---**
Playtime is over.
**[20:00] ---**
Instructor Kufa!
**[20:01] ---**
Are you somewhere over there?
**[20:03] ---**
Where's the suspicious individual?
**[20:05] ---**
Could they be over that way?
**[20:06] ---**
Let's hurry now.
**[20:07] ---**
I assume you'd like to avoid
being spotted by them.
**[20:10] ---**
Beat a retreat.
**[20:14] ---**
Don't forget.
**[20:17] ---**
I'm the shadow.
**[20:23] ---**
A shadow will always be...
**[20:25] ---**
behind you.
**[20:28] ---**
The way she fought... Never
seen anything like it.
**[20:31] ---**
Just what the hell is she?
**[20:34] ---**
Her Class is Clown.
**[20:37] ---**
Fencer, Gladiator, Samurai,
**[20:40] ---**
Maiden, Gunner, Wizard, Cleric...
**[20:46] ---**
With the ability to imitate
all seven Classes...
**[20:53] ---**
she is the strongest
Clown in all of Flandore.
**[20:56] ---**
Elli... so you're saying I
have no chance of beating you?
**[21:00] ---**
You can't... right?
**[21:06] ---**
I will lose during the
trial one week from now.
**[21:10] ---**
If I do that, we can form
a unit together, Lita...
**[21:14] ---**
Am I wrong?
**[21:15] ---**
Still, the very idea of it...
**[21:17] ---**
It's not for your sake, Lita.
**[21:19] ---**
I'm going to do it for my own.
**[21:23] ---**
Elli...
**[21:25] ---**
There's nothing left to say.
**[21:27] ---**
Good night, Lita.
**[21:40] ---**
Hey, Lita...
**[21:43] ---**
I want to stay being your
"little sister" forever.
**[21:48] ---**
So that's why...
**[23:35] ---**

**[00:18] ---**
The Luna Lumiere Selection Tournament
will go ahead as planned.
**[00:22] ---**
Suspending it is unthinkable.
**[00:25] ---**
However, Black Madia is a hired killer who's
well known even in the Holy Monarch District.
**[00:29] ---**
She's an infiltration professional who can
act the part of all manner of people.
**[00:34] ---**
No doubt she has disguised herself as a
student and snuck her way into the academy.
**[00:39] ---**
She is a person of special ability,
**[00:41] ---**
and with the exception of higher-rank Classes
like Paladin, there is no Class she can't imitate.
**[00:47] ---**
Leaving the situation as it
stands is simply too dangerous!
**[00:51] ---**
The academy has made its decision!
**[02:29] ---**
The Golden Princess and the Silver Princess
**[02:49] ---**
Milady, did, uh... something happen
between you and Lady Melida?
**[02:54] ---**
I mean, until recently the two of you were
together all the time, just like close sisters!
**[03:02] ---**
Milady-
**[03:03] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[03:05] ---**
Isn't the situation obvious to you?
**[03:08] ---**
Why must Lady Elise be together with that
"incompetent talented girl" in the first place?
**[03:14] ---**
But, as cadets they're the same-
**[03:16] ---**
"Same"?!
**[03:17] ---**
How are they in any way the same?!
**[03:19] ---**
In terms of wits, ability, and all else it is only
Lady Elise who is worthy of being a cadet.
**[03:23] ---**
The truth is that's the way
you all feel about it, right?!
**[03:31] ---**
The two Angels...
**[03:32] ---**
A battle for the family name, huh?
**[03:36] ---**
I'd rather they don't tarnish the honorable
selection tournament by bringing that into it.
**[03:41] ---**
In the trial...
**[03:43] ---**
Each individual should play fair
and square and give it their all.
**[03:47] ---**
In my case, no matter who you are,
**[03:49] ---**
I will not hold back, Salacha.
**[03:52] ---**
Understood.
**[04:01] ---**
Milady.
**[04:05] ---**
If you're frustrated, then you should
just make a forceful counterattack.
**[04:09] ---**
Nerva...
**[04:10] ---**
This seat happened to be open is all, okay?!
**[04:12] ---**
My, my.
**[04:14] ---**
You say that...
**[04:16] ---**
But who is it that ends up sitting
next to Melida day after day?
**[04:19] ---**
W-well, that's...
**[04:24] ---**
I get the feeling that this unit of ours will
be able to cooperate well when we do battle.
**[04:30] ---**
Y-yeah, I'll try my best.
**[04:44] ---**
Three Days Ago
**[05:00] ---**
Two Days Ago
**[05:13] ---**
One Day Ago
**[05:36] ---**
That's just proof of the hard work
you've put in over the last six days.
**[05:41] ---**
Here's some hot milk.
**[05:43] ---**
Thank you.
**[05:44] ---**
It will warm you up.
**[05:52] ---**
I-it's tasty.
**[05:56] ---**
Did something happen between
you and Lady Elise?
**[06:00] ---**
After the incident with Mrs. Othello on the
first day of the selection tournament, I mean.
**[06:06] ---**
If something I'm not
aware of happened to you,
**[06:10] ---**
that's the only time it could have occurred.
**[06:14] ---**
Putting it the other way around...
**[06:16] ---**
We've been sticking close
the whole time besides then.
**[06:21] ---**
W-well that...
**[06:23] ---**
Can you please just talk to me?
**[06:25] ---**
Milady, I can no longer silently stand by
when something is clearly troubling you.
**[06:31] ---**
Instructor.
**[06:34] ---**
The truth is...
**[06:37] ---**
"Lose on purpose"...?
**[06:40] ---**
To think Lady Elise would
propose such a thing...
**[06:42] ---**
Elli was the kind of child
who would really fawn on you.
**[06:47] ---**
She was a cute "little sister" who was always clinging
to my back and would never leave my side.
**[06:53] ---**
But maybe I was the only one
who felt that way about it.
**[06:58] ---**
Despite being an underachiever,
**[06:59] ---**
by always acting like a big sister I
ended up hurting Elli emotionally.
**[07:05] ---**
I ended up driving her into a corner.
**[07:07] ---**
Which is why Elli did such a thing...
**[07:11] ---**
If that's the case, then it's
just as Mrs. Othello says...
**[07:13] ---**
Remembering my place when
associating with Elli is–
**[07:15] ---**
Milady.
**[07:18] ---**
In my opinion, you shouldn't
bother to know your place at all.
**[07:24] ---**
And what Lady Elise should do is
to explain herself in more detail.
**[07:29] ---**
By presuming that you fully understand
her even if she hardly says a thing,
**[07:33] ---**
she's being emotionally
dependent on you, milady.
**[07:35] ---**
On me...?
**[07:37] ---**
Yes.
**[07:38] ---**
Which is why...
**[07:40] ---**
When you meet with Lady
Elise during the trial,
**[07:43] ---**
discuss things with her until
you reach a full understanding.
**[07:46] ---**
Don't hold back and really
pour out your feelings to her.
**[07:51] ---**
But...
**[07:53] ---**
Milady, do you care for Lady Elise?
**[07:57] ---**
I love her.
**[07:59] ---**
Then, it will be fine.
**[08:01] ---**
No matter what happens during the trial,
**[08:03] ---**
the relationship you two have won't crumble.
**[08:06] ---**
When people like one another,
things go well between them.
**[08:09] ---**
Just like with you and me, milady.
**[08:16] ---**
Tomorrow is the big day.
**[08:35] ---**
At long last, this day has arrived.
**[08:38] ---**
You're not going to stay and see the
young ladies in their moment of glory?
**[08:43] ---**
You intend to use that sword to settle
things with Black Madia, don't you?
**[08:48] ---**
I'm coming with you.
**[08:50] ---**
No, you stay here.
**[08:53] ---**
Just who Madia has disguised
herself as is still an open question.
**[08:58] ---**
And so, Rosetti, I'd like you to remain
at the ready here just in case.
**[09:06] ---**
Understood.
**[09:08] ---**
Quiet, please.
**[09:10] ---**
The trial the cadets are tasked with is a
round-robin battle royal between the four units.
**[09:16] ---**
The one that captures the most
medals will be declared the victor!
**[09:22] ---**
The entirety of this here
Glassmond Palace will act as the stage.
**[09:26] ---**
All the action can be viewed
through these binoculars,
**[09:31] ---**
which have already been distributed to you.
**[09:35] ---**
Well then, it appears the cadets
have arrived at their posts.
**[09:53] ---**
I'll be cheering for you, milady.
**[09:58] ---**
It is finally time for the trial to begin!
**[10:01] ---**
O young ladies who have
assembled in the glass palace,
**[10:04] ---**
demonstrate your pride to Luna Lumiere.
**[10:09] ---**
Show proof.
**[10:12] ---**
I permit you to enter the palace.
**[10:14] ---**
Step forward, O chosen ones.
**[10:25] ---**
Stop.
**[10:28] ---**
It's Priss.
**[10:29] ---**
How lucky we are to have the Gunner from
Lady Elise's unit come from over that way.
**[10:47] ---**
Elli...
**[10:48] ---**
Let us handle things here.
**[10:51] ---**
What're you doing standing
there? Hurry up and go!
**[10:57] ---**
Elli, it's game time.
**[11:09] ---**
Checkmate.
**[11:30] ---**
You can't run away anymore, Elli.
**[11:33] ---**
Fight me.
**[11:46] ---**
Elli...!
**[11:50] ---**
Your sinister plot ends here and now, lady.
**[11:54] ---**
I'm in a real fix now.
**[11:56] ---**
And here I was thinking
I did quite a good job...
**[11:59] ---**
Don't put up a fuss and just hand
over what you've harvested.
**[12:05] ---**
Or else...
**[12:06] ---**
What will happen otherwise?
**[12:12] ---**
Men sure are overbearing creatures.
**[12:17] ---**
Hey...
**[12:18] ---**
My heart is racing for some
reason all of a sudden.
**[12:22] ---**
Having such a thing done to me by a man...
**[12:26] ---**
I wonder just what kind of
punishment I'll be given.
**[12:30] ---**
Just how long do you plan
to keep up this act for?
**[12:35] ---**
If, however, you turn a blind eye...
**[12:37] ---**
I'll do my best to serve you.
**[12:40] ---**
Surely, you jest.
**[12:49] ---**
Ah, that's a pity.
**[12:52] ---**
An absorption attack that whittles away at
and gobbles up an opponent's mana.
**[12:56] ---**
Such a magnificent super-human ability is...
**[12:59] ---**
Excuse me!
**[13:00] ---**
Can I please get your name?
**[13:03] ---**
My name is Mule la More.
**[13:05] ---**
I inherited my Diabolos Class as a member of
one of the three big Knight-Duke Houses...
**[13:10] ---**
I'm a daughter of the House of La More.
**[13:13] ---**
Madia is only able to imitate the
abilities of lower-ranked Classes!
**[13:17] ---**
Which must mean...
**[13:22] ---**
Lady La More, I ask that you please
forgive my sudden rude behavior.
**[13:30] ---**
Phew, that was scary!
**[13:33] ---**
I thought he was going to kill me.
**[13:36] ---**
But...
**[13:38] ---**
what a relief...
**[13:40] ---**
It's not broken.
**[13:47] ---**
Elli, why do remain silent?!
**[13:49] ---**
If there's something you want to say,
just give it to me straight.
**[13:53] ---**
Lita, you're weak, aren't you?
**[14:00] ---**
Hey, Lita, why do you think it is I
ran away from fighting you?
**[14:06] ---**
Huh?
**[14:08] ---**
During both the first term's public
tournament as well as now...
**[14:13] ---**
It's because I don't want to know
that you're weaker than me.
**[14:18] ---**
Elli...
**[14:19] ---**
I don't want to be on equal footing with you.
**[14:26] ---**
I prefer being below you, Lita.
**[14:30] ---**
I dislike being number one.
**[14:32] ---**
I dislike attracting everyone's attention.
**[14:34] ---**
And most of all I dislike the me
that must do those things.
**[14:39] ---**
I like being second best.
**[14:40] ---**
Someone who is sparkling brightly...
**[14:42] ---**
I want to stay behind you, Lita.
**[14:45] ---**
And be shined upon by you.
**[14:48] ---**
So, you're not angry then, huh?
**[14:51] ---**
About me acting like your big sister, I mean.
**[14:54] ---**
Why?
**[14:56] ---**
That's just what I want, and yet...
**[14:58] ---**
Back then, now, and always I want
to be your "little sister," and yet...
**[15:07] ---**
I'll take that challenge!
**[15:10] ---**
In that case, so be it!
**[15:12] ---**
After all, Lita, you're weaker than I am!
**[15:16] ---**
Divine Rise!
**[15:21] ---**
It's futile.
**[15:23] ---**
Lita, you...
**[15:24] ---**
can't beat me!
**[15:30] ---**
Impartation Unsheathing...
**[15:33] ---**
Feather Slash.
**[15:36] ---**
Who are you calling weak?
**[15:40] ---**
You're not keeping your
distance from your opponent!
**[15:53] ---**
Watch this, Elli!
**[15:55] ---**
It is I who am stronger than you!
**[15:59] ---**
Elli, even if you are a Paladin and no
matter how strong you become in the future...
**[16:06] ---**
I will...
**[16:08] ---**
always be there just a step in front of you.
**[16:13] ---**
So, when it comes to me alone,
rest easy and fawn on me all you want.
**[16:18] ---**
Lita...
**[16:21] ---**
When it comes to things
you just can't stand...
**[16:23] ---**
Know that I'll...
**[16:26] ---**
shoulder all of that for you.
**[16:29] ---**
Lita...
**[16:33] ---**
Lita...
**[16:35] ---**
I...
**[16:36] ---**
always...
**[16:37] ---**
and forever...
**[16:38] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:40] ---**
There's no need to worry
about anything anymore.
**[16:43] ---**
Ah, I see.
**[16:44] ---**
I saw the whole thing, you know.
**[16:48] ---**
Melida Angel.
**[16:51] ---**
What a foolish misapprehension...
**[16:54] ---**
Only cadets are able to
enter into the palace.
**[16:57] ---**
If so, then Madia is...
**[17:00] ---**
Milady...
**[17:02] ---**
The way you fight is just
like a Samurai Class.
**[17:06] ---**
Exactly the same as your instructor.
**[17:10] ---**
That's not Nerva's mana.
**[17:12] ---**
Who are you?!
**[17:21] ---**
Wha-?!
**[17:24] ---**
What?!
**[17:29] ---**
What in the world... is going on?
**[17:32] ---**
Lita, who is that person?
**[17:35] ---**
Don't know.
**[17:45] ---**
It will be alright, Elli.
**[17:47] ---**
I refuse to lose at a time like this.
**[17:49] ---**
After all, I'm Elli's "big sister."
**[17:53] ---**
Besides, I'm my instructor's pupil!
**[18:13] ---**
I can't be bothered.
**[18:15] ---**
Good effort out there.
**[18:19] ---**
Rogue who has not received permission!
**[18:21] ---**
Plotting against us is utterly outrageous.
**[18:24] ---**
Tch! How impertinent!
**[18:28] ---**
Oh, dear.
**[18:30] ---**
V-vexing!
**[18:35] ---**
Tough luck!
**[18:39] ---**
My thanks for destroying the sentries.
**[18:42] ---**
Instructor...
**[18:50] ---**
W-wait!
**[18:52] ---**
Oh?
**[18:54] ---**
I see. So, that's your true form, is it?
**[18:58] ---**
Y-you savage!
**[19:00] ---**
Your real face, physique, and mana
have all been exposed by me.
**[19:05] ---**
I-it's not like I've actually lost yet,
**[19:10] ---**
and, as things stand, I can't
return home to the Lodge.
**[19:18] ---**
Give this to "Father."
**[19:20] ---**
To Papa?
**[19:21] ---**
It's a supplementary report.
**[19:23] ---**
I'll leave it up to Father to make
his own judgment upon reading it.
**[19:27] ---**
Now, go.
**[19:28] ---**
With that in hand, I'm sure
you won't get reprimanded.
**[19:40] ---**
In the end,
**[19:41] ---**
based on the performance in the
trial and results of the student vote,
**[19:43] ---**
the victory in the Luna Lumiere Selection Tournament
was captured by Keira Espada.
**[19:49] ---**
Of course...
**[19:50] ---**
It goes without saying that, taking advantage
of the confusion of the trial's final stages,
**[19:55] ---**
the Black Madia incident
was swept under the rug.
**[19:59] ---**
The festival has come to an end.
**[20:02] ---**
However...
**[20:04] ---**
one question still remains.
**[20:06] ---**
As Mrs. Othello is not a mana user,
she is, by nature, unable to enter this palace.
**[20:15] ---**
If so, then who in the world guided her
and had her swap out the stained glass?
**[20:27] ---**
This year's selection tournament was
interesting in more ways than one.
**[20:32] ---**
Jeez, Muu, I went through a lot, you know!
**[20:36] ---**
And besides...
**[20:38] ---**
Oh, that?
**[20:39] ---**
It's a mana analyzer.
**[20:42] ---**
"Analyzer"?
**[20:43] ---**
It has a record of the mana information for all the
students who were registered at Glassmond Palace.
**[20:50] ---**
Including Melida, of course.
**[20:52] ---**
I'm sure it will provide some
rather intriguing results.
**[20:55] ---**
So that's what you were doing?
**[20:57] ---**
It will make a nice gift for the older
brother of the Shicksal family.
**[21:01] ---**
Don't you think, Dragoon-Class
Salacha Shicksal?
**[21:08] ---**
Hey, Elli. I'm thinking
about creating a new unit.
**[21:14] ---**
My own unit that I'm the leader of.
**[21:17] ---**
I won't let anyone tell me I'm unworthy.
**[21:22] ---**
You will join my unit, won't you, Elli?
**[21:26] ---**
Y-yeah.
**[21:30] ---**
Lita, please let me in your unit.
**[21:34] ---**
Alright.
**[23:12] ---**
Jeez, "If you can't sneak in the
back try the front," he says...
**[23:16] ---**
Even Papa can be unreasonable.
**[23:19] ---**
I can't believe he told me to
become an instructor here...
**[23:25] ---**
You know, nothing written in that report was
of any great importance in the first place.
**[23:30] ---**
If he thinks he can get rid of me with something like that,
he's got another thing coming!
**[23:36] ---**

**[00:10] ---**
Hey...
**[00:14] ---**
Come on in.
**[00:15] ---**
You know what?
**[00:17] ---**
What is this about?
**[00:23] ---**
I heard about something incredibly shocking...
**[02:01] ---**
The Gray Witch
**[02:44] ---**
The venue is on the other side of that waterway.
**[02:47] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[02:49] ---**
What's over there?
**[02:51] ---**
A library.
**[02:53] ---**
And over there,
**[02:54] ---**
there's no worry of running into
the house mother out on patrol.
**[03:33] ---**
To all of you students representing d'Autriche,
**[03:36] ---**
I am grateful you accepted the invitation
**[03:38] ---**
from
St. Friedeswiede and are here with us this evening.
**[03:42] ---**
The feeling is mutual.
**[03:46] ---**
Thank you for inviting us.
**[03:51] ---**
Well then, everyone, raise a glass.
**[03:54] ---**
We shall now hold the unofficial closing
party for the Luna Lumiere tournament!
**[04:00] ---**
Alcohol...?
**[04:01] ---**
How indecent.
**[04:02] ---**
It's juice, of course.
**[04:06] ---**
It's good.
**[04:13] ---**
All of you new students,
**[04:15] ---**
even more so than the storied social
gathering hosted by the academy,
**[04:19] ---**
this unofficial closing party that we
ourselves put on is worth your while.
**[04:25] ---**
Take it all in and see for yourselves.
**[04:27] ---**
Keira is just lovely!
**[04:30] ---**
Much like the official gathering,
with its long-standing history,
**[04:34] ---**
this night party is also a traditional event,
**[04:36] ---**
that has been continuously handed
down by our seniors at the school.
**[04:41] ---**
Shenfa is once again looking
even more beautiful tonight.
**[04:58] ---**
I had no idea.
**[04:59] ---**
Never imagined that there was
an unofficial closing party...
**[05:02] ---**
Secrets make my heart race with excitement, you know?
**[05:09] ---**
You enjoying yourselves?
**[05:13] ---**
The two Miss Angels.
**[05:22] ---**
You know, my victory this time wasn't a
show of praise for my actual ability.
**[05:26] ---**
I can't call it a true victory.
**[05:29] ---**
Next time, I will sear into all of your minds a result that is
**[05:33] ---**
clear as day for any who witness it.
**[05:36] ---**
I-I see.
**[05:38] ---**
With all due respect, Keira...
**[05:40] ---**
Speaking as a lover of numerous novels,
**[05:44] ---**
talking with so much confidence about a
match that is still in the distant future
**[05:50] ---**
is something one should be most careful about.
**[05:53] ---**
Is that so?
**[05:55] ---**
Well, when one makes a declaration of their own victory,
**[05:57] ---**
it livens things up all the more, right?
**[06:05] ---**
That Keira isn't the type to belie expectations, you know?
**[06:09] ---**
I wonder how things will turn out next year...
**[06:11] ---**
No matter what situation we find ourselves in,
I'll do a great job of supporting you, Lita.
**[06:20] ---**
Thank you, Elli!
**[06:30] ---**
It's no use thinking about next year at this time.
**[06:34] ---**
Right now, it's okay to just kick
up your heels for the moment.
**[06:38] ---**
You do have a point.
**[06:45] ---**
What do you wanna do for fun?
**[06:47] ---**
Cards?
**[06:48] ---**
A pillow fight would also be a standard way to go.
**[06:52] ---**
After all, I'd be too embarrassed to
do that back inside a dorm room.
**[06:54] ---**
Ahem! Shouldn't we be a bit more ladylike?
**[07:00] ---**
As far as what's done at times like this,
**[07:03] ---**
the answer is... talking about our love lives.
**[07:06] ---**
Huh?
**[07:07] ---**
"Love"?
**[07:08] ---**
Alright, you go first, Melida.
**[07:10] ---**
U-uh, well...
**[07:13] ---**
A partner like that is something...
**[07:15] ---**
I've never had so far.
**[07:27] ---**
"So far"...
**[07:30] ---**
Uh, what about yourself Mule?
**[07:32] ---**
Naturally, I'm in the same boat as you.
**[07:35] ---**
And you, Sala?
**[07:37] ---**
I'm shy around people I don't know well,
so romantic love is a bridge too far...
**[07:43] ---**
I guess things aren't about to get exciting, after all.
**[07:45] ---**
Why aren't you asking me?
**[07:48] ---**
Let me see...
**[07:49] ---**
Then, let's talk about one of the other standard topics:
**[07:52] ---**
Scary stories.
**[07:54] ---**
Uh, my "little sister" isn't good with that kind of stuff.
**[07:59] ---**
Relax.
**[08:00] ---**
While what I have in mind is a scary story,
it's also a sorrowful love story, you see.
**[08:08] ---**
This story is famous in
Aquarimus Heavenly-Mirror District,
**[08:11] ---**
which is renowned as the city of water.
**[08:16] ---**
Oh, that story...
**[08:20] ---**
A long time ago,
**[08:21] ---**
there was a husband and wife who moved
to Aquarimus Heavenly-Mirror District.
**[08:26] ---**
Fleeing the land of eternal night,
they came to Flandore seeking a fresh start.
**[08:31] ---**
However, due to groundless prejudice,
the people of Flandore repeatedly attacked them.
**[08:37] ---**
The husband, who was unable to find adequate employment
**[08:39] ---**
and was driven into a corner day after day,
**[08:42] ---**
ultimately came to treat his wife harshly.
**[08:46] ---**
Even so, the wife endured it all with selfless devotion.
**[08:50] ---**
However, one particular day...
**[08:52] ---**
the husband, who had at last lost his mind,
**[08:55] ---**
slashed his wife to death with a knife,
**[08:57] ---**
and proceeded to cut out her heart!
**[09:01] ---**
Having by now calmed down,
**[09:03] ---**
the husband became terrified of what he had done,
**[09:05] ---**
and he ran off with the heart he had dug out.
**[09:09] ---**
However, while he was on his way he stumbled
and ended up dropping his wife's heart.
**[09:16] ---**
At that moment, a voice said, "My dear, are you hurt?"
**[09:20] ---**
Believe it or not, the heart had spoken to the man!
**[09:23] ---**
The man finally came to his senses.
**[09:26] ---**
It was then that he understood...
**[09:28] ---**
just how very much his wife had loved him...
**[09:32] ---**
and just how much he had done
something that can't be undone.
**[09:37] ---**
The man embraced his wife's heart,
**[09:40] ---**
and he then proceeded to throw himself into the water.
**[09:44] ---**
Then, it is said, the two of them departed this life.
**[09:49] ---**
That's a pretty sad story...
**[09:51] ---**
That's your very best scary story?
**[09:54] ---**
No...
**[09:55] ---**
As a matter of fact,
**[09:58] ---**
there is a second half to this tale.
**[10:02] ---**
It was okay up till the man and his
wife's heart had set off for heaven,
**[10:08] ---**
but the body of the wife,
who had lost her heart and been abandoned,
**[10:12] ---**
harbored a deep-seated grudge
and began to move around.
**[10:16] ---**
The woman...
**[10:17] ---**
Who was only wandering around
the city to look for her own heart,
**[10:21] ---**
at some point came to be called the "Gray Witch."
**[10:25] ---**
"The Gray Witch"...
**[10:29] ---**
It's said that night after night she roams about,
**[10:31] ---**
attacking pretty young women and
then cutting their hearts out.
**[10:38] ---**
Even now...
**[10:39] ---**
and always!
**[10:44] ---**
G-get a hold of yourself, Elli!
**[10:47] ---**
Don't leave me all on my own!
By the looks of how much you enjoyed it,
**[10:49] ---**
it seems telling the story was worthwhile.
**[10:52] ---**
B-b-but, it's nothing more than a made-up story, right?!
**[10:55] ---**
I can't believe a heart could actually talk...
**[10:58] ---**
Is that what you think? To tell the truth...
**[11:01] ---**
All around Flandore there's been a string of appalling
**[11:05] ---**
murders where the victims had their hearts dug out.
**[11:08] ---**
Are they simply crimes committed for kicks by
someone who was inspired by the tale?
**[11:12] ---**
Or...
**[11:18] ---**
What the...?
**[11:23] ---**
I wonder if there's some wind blowing in from outside.
**[11:25] ---**
Pina, bring me some matches.
**[11:28] ---**
Pina!
**[11:29] ---**
Pina is nowhere to be seen.
**[11:30] ---**
She's vanished!
**[11:32] ---**
"Vanished"?
**[11:33] ---**
That can't-
**[11:38] ---**
Who are you?!
**[11:39] ---**
And how did you get inside here?
**[11:50] ---**
The Gray Witch...?
**[12:02] ---**
Th-the Gray Witch!
**[12:04] ---**
She's come to cut out all of our hearts!
**[12:14] ---**
Everyone, flee for safety!
**[12:16] ---**
I'll buy some time!
**[12:33] ---**
Oh, that's right!
**[12:34] ---**
Not all weapons are things made of steel.
**[12:37] ---**
Isn't that right, Instructor?!
**[12:39] ---**
Everyone, use the shawls!
**[12:44] ---**
Now! Run for it!
**[13:08] ---**
It seems she's not chasing after us.
**[13:10] ---**
Do you think everyone's alright?
**[13:13] ---**
In any case, let's head back to our dorm.
**[13:15] ---**
Good idea.
**[13:23] ---**
Could it really be that the woman with
the pointy hat is the Gray Witch?
**[13:28] ---**
I don't know.
**[13:30] ---**
But, Keira got defeated quite easily.
**[13:33] ---**
So what's clear is that it was no ordinary person.
**[13:36] ---**
For heaven's sake!
**[13:38] ---**
"Witches" are pure fiction.
**[13:41] ---**
So there's no way one actually exists, right?
**[13:45] ---**
If we talk to Instructor Kufa,
**[13:47] ---**
he of all people will know what we're dealing with...
**[13:55] ---**
Wh-what's wrong, Melida?!
**[13:57] ---**
I-I stepped on something.
**[14:00] ---**
Something fell from above... and it's squishy.
**[14:02] ---**
What is it?!
**[14:03] ---**
I-I don't know.
**[14:05] ---**
It's soft, cold, and springy...
**[14:09] ---**
Human skin?
**[14:10] ---**
Er, is it perhaps actually...
**[14:14] ---**
entrails...
**[14:17] ---**
or the like?
**[14:23] ---**
Let's get out of here ASAP! Hurry!
**[14:31] ---**
Oh no! I-I stepped on something!
**[14:33] ---**
I-I did, too!
**[14:35] ---**
Lita, I can't go on any longer.
**[14:36] ---**
Elli, get a grip!
**[14:39] ---**
My feet feel slimy!
**[14:40] ---**
There's more and more of it!
My feet feel slimy!
**[14:41] ---**
There's more and more of it!
Elli, pull it together!
**[15:04] ---**
The waterway...
**[15:05] ---**
If we can just make it out the end of the waterway...
**[15:17] ---**
If my instructor sees me looking like this...
**[15:23] ---**
How embarrassing!
**[15:25] ---**
Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope!
**[15:38] ---**
I can't be bothered with this anymore.
I'm taking it off!
**[15:41] ---**
Elli, don't do anything rash!
**[15:44] ---**
Ah, right in my cleavage...
**[15:46] ---**
Oh my, you're in a real fix now, huh, Sala?
**[15:49] ---**
I'll help you out.
**[15:51] ---**
I will, too.
**[15:53] ---**
The fruit of betrayal... peach hunting.
**[15:56] ---**
That can't be any fun, right?
**[15:58] ---**
I'll get it all off without leaving a single shred,
**[16:01] ---**
so come on and move your
hands out of the way already.
**[16:04] ---**
You're all scaring me!
**[16:19] ---**
Th-the Gray Witch...
**[16:22] ---**
Don't tell me... the older girls...
**[16:25] ---**
got wiped out.
**[16:28] ---**
I won't let you meddle with any of them!
**[16:44] ---**
Sala!
**[16:48] ---**
Elli?
**[16:49] ---**
Live a good, strong life for me, Lita.
**[16:52] ---**
What are you saying, Elli?!
**[16:55] ---**
Don't resign yourself to losing.
**[16:56] ---**
I'm going to fight alongside you.
**[16:59] ---**
Lita...
**[17:06] ---**
Phantom-Blade Flash...
**[17:08] ---**
Wind Fang!
**[17:14] ---**
She's powerful.
**[17:15] ---**
She's really powerful.
**[17:17] ---**
Run!
**[17:18] ---**
Everybody, hurry and get out of here!
**[17:34] ---**
If we can make it out of this waterway...
**[17:43] ---**
Just a bit farther...
**[17:44] ---**
A bit farther...
**[17:45] ---**
Almost there.
**[17:46] ---**
If we head to the dorm, my instructor will save us.
**[18:06] ---**
She won't pursue us out here?
**[18:08] ---**
Instructor Kufa...
**[18:11] ---**
Instructor?
**[18:13] ---**
Hello there, young ladies.
**[18:16] ---**
Instructor, we're in some serious trouble!
**[18:18] ---**
Something terrible has happened!
**[18:19] ---**
I won't say bad things about you anymore,
so please save us!
**[18:22] ---**
Please, Instructor Kufa!
**[18:23] ---**
When this is over, I'll serve you as much as you like!
**[18:27] ---**
I'm actually in a bind myself right now.
**[18:30] ---**
Will you help me search for something?
**[18:34] ---**
"Search for something"?
**[18:36] ---**
Yes. I am...
**[18:39] ---**
looking for my ripped-out heart.
**[18:56] ---**
Have you reflected on your conduct, young ladies?
**[19:00] ---**
Is that...?
**[19:01] ---**
It's tomato sauce.
**[19:05] ---**
I can't believe all of the instructors found
out about the unofficial closing party.
**[19:13] ---**
I heard about something incredibly shocking...
**[19:16] ---**
Word is it takes place after the
housemother finishes her patrols.
**[19:21] ---**
What does?
**[19:23] ---**
They say that students from Friedeswiede and d'Autriche
**[19:26] ---**
gather together and hold some
kind of unofficial closing party.
**[19:30] ---**
And... why are you telling me this?
**[19:33] ---**
Now that you've heard about it,
you can't just ignore it, right?
**[19:37] ---**
Well, right she was.
**[19:38] ---**
After all, it is the role of a private tutor to see that you young ladies
**[19:42] ---**
maintain order in the academy.
**[19:44] ---**
Uh, well... So then, who was the
Gray Witch who appeared in the corridor?
**[19:49] ---**
I had a hunch...
**[19:51] ---**
That was Rosetti.
**[19:54] ---**
She disguised herself and even used face paint.
**[19:57] ---**
In a sense, perhaps she's the one who
most enjoyed the disturbance tonight.
**[20:01] ---**
What were those weird squishy
things that fell into the waterway?
**[20:08] ---**
That was pixie-gem.
**[20:10] ---**
Do you know what that is?
**[20:12] ---**
"Pixie-gem"?
**[20:14] ---**
It's a toy, you see.
**[20:16] ---**
S-so then...
**[20:18] ---**
You're the one who made it rain down
from the ceiling like that, Instructor?
**[20:22] ---**
Ah, um... I'm sorry about that.
**[20:25] ---**
I never thought it would end up causing such a panic.
**[20:40] ---**
Instructor, you're dirty-minded!
**[20:42] ---**
Doing such a thing to innocent female students...
How distasteful!
**[20:44] ---**
I can't believe you saw me like that...
**[20:47] ---**
Perv, lecher, brute!
**[20:49] ---**
I'm going to tell on you to Instructor Rose!
**[20:50] ---**
Ahem! Which one of us do
you suppose would get scolded?
**[20:54] ---**
You are all now free to return to your rooms.
**[21:12] ---**
M-my legs...
**[21:14] ---**
I can't stand up.
**[21:19] ---**
Excess excitement and fear, as well as tension...
**[21:22] ---**
Your legs are numb after sitting on
your heels for a long time, huh?
**[21:26] ---**
What a predicament.
**[21:28] ---**
Jeez, don't you get the picture?
**[21:30] ---**
You're going to take responsibility for this, aren't you?
**[21:33] ---**
Instructor...
**[21:55] ---**
Instructor...
**[22:00] ---**
Looks like I'll be staying up all night.

**[00:11] ---**
How can you bring yourself to go that far?
**[00:16] ---**
Because I want her to be happy.
**[00:18] ---**
Big... brother.
**[00:28] ---**
G-good morning, Instructor.
**[00:31] ---**
Good morning.
**[00:33] ---**
Milady, you reacted quite well.
**[00:35] ---**
Jeez!
**[00:36] ---**
Haven't I told you not to wake me
up like you're trying to kill me?!
**[00:40] ---**
This is also part of your training.
**[00:43] ---**
Well now!
**[00:45] ---**
The academy's training trip starts today.
**[00:48] ---**
Have you finished packing your bags?
**[00:51] ---**
Sure have.
**[00:52] ---**
Please don't treat me like a child.
**[02:42] ---**
No Guidance Above nor Below
**[02:44] ---**
In the first place, Instructor, I don't think
you show enough consideration to ladies!
**[02:49] ---**
If you're going to come, then you have to tell me so!
**[02:51] ---**
I have to get myself dressed and ready and so on!
**[02:54] ---**
What's with the leisurely attitude?
**[02:56] ---**
You think an assassin will wait for you
to get dressed and ready?
**[03:00] ---**
But it's not like you're an assassin, Instructor, are you?!
**[03:03] ---**
That's a drug with a dose for just one person.
**[03:05] ---**
Think carefully before using it.
**[03:09] ---**
Instructor?
**[03:10] ---**
No, you are quite right, milady.
**[03:13] ---**
Ah! There you are!
**[03:15] ---**
I was just looking for you!
**[03:17] ---**
Do you have some business with me?
**[03:19] ---**
Er...
**[03:20] ---**
I wouldn't say "business."
**[03:22] ---**
But uh...
**[03:24] ---**
sure enough,
**[03:26] ---**
um...
**[03:27] ---**
I was thinking you're the only one for this!
**[03:30] ---**
Huh?
**[03:31] ---**
Hey, Kuu...
**[03:33] ---**
What do you say about marrying me?
**[03:41] ---**
In short...
**[03:42] ---**
your father went and decided
on a husband-to-be for you,
**[03:46] ---**
and in order to decline you said,
**[03:47] ---**
"I already have a lover who I've promised my future to."
**[03:49] ---**
Right?
**[03:50] ---**
Exactly!
**[03:52] ---**
In Papa's mind, you see,
**[03:53] ---**
we're already living together and
kissing about 100 times a day.
**[03:58] ---**
Have you considered you're taking this too far?
**[04:01] ---**
Well, uh...
**[04:03] ---**
Once I started exaggerating, I became unable to stop.
**[04:08] ---**
"L-l-living together"?
**[04:10] ---**
Lita, calm down.
**[04:12] ---**
I owe Papa a debt of gratitude
so big I could never repay it,
**[04:16] ---**
so I didn't feel free to just refuse.
**[04:19] ---**
So, please!
**[04:20] ---**
For the time being, pretend to be my lover!
**[04:25] ---**
I suppose I have no choice.
**[04:27] ---**
Fine, then.
**[04:28] ---**
Really?!
**[04:29] ---**
That's great!
**[04:31] ---**
Thank you, Kuu!
**[04:33] ---**
There's nothing at all great about it!
**[04:40] ---**
Kuu, you've got such muscular arms!
**[04:42] ---**
I-I'd say they're clinging to each other a bit too tightly!
**[04:45] ---**
Agreed.
**[04:46] ---**
Instructor Rose is getting carried away!
**[04:48] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry, Lady Melida and Lady Elise.
**[04:52] ---**
For now, I'm in the leading role.
**[04:54] ---**
Right, darling?
**[04:55] ---**
Yeah...
**[04:56] ---**
Hup!
**[04:59] ---**
Milady?
**[05:00] ---**
Ah!
**[05:01] ---**
Lady Melida, he treats you affectionately at the mansion -
isn't that enough?!
**[05:05] ---**
How deplorable!
**[05:08] ---**
What a corruption of public morals!
**[05:10] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[05:11] ---**
Making eyes at him in a licentious manner like that...
**[05:14] ---**
That's Ms. Stachie from the board of directors...
**[05:16] ---**
Hmph.
**[05:24] ---**
Pleased to meet you, Miss Elise Angel.
**[05:27] ---**
I have heard a great deal about
your exploits as a Paladin.
**[05:32] ---**
Completely unlike that "incompetent talented girl"...
**[05:36] ---**
with her shabby Status that is unbecoming of a Paladin.
**[05:39] ---**
In addition...
**[05:40] ---**
To think the attendant she's brought is
a man of marriageable age.
**[05:44] ---**
Director Stachie, he is-
**[05:53] ---**
A garden of sweet-smelling young ladies!
**[05:56] ---**
I've again found myself at the doorway
to as-yet-unknown heroic tales!
**[06:04] ---**
Marquis Blossom Pricket!
**[06:08] ---**
Oh, Rosetti!
**[06:09] ---**
My beloved daughter!
**[06:13] ---**
C'mon, stop it, Papa.
**[06:14] ---**
You're embarrassing me.
**[06:18] ---**
Thank for taking the trouble to come, Lord Pricket.
**[06:23] ---**
Why, of course!
**[06:25] ---**
For this particular training trip,
**[06:26] ---**
there can be no guide more suitable than myself!
**[06:31] ---**
Instructor Rose, why is your father here at the academy?
**[06:34] ---**
Because the destination for the training trip is Shangarta.
**[06:37] ---**
Shangarta is Instructor Rosetti
and Marquis Pricket's hometown.
**[06:42] ---**
Hey, why do you know that, Kuu?!
**[06:45] ---**
Due to my line of work.
**[06:47] ---**
Speaking of Marquis Blossom Pricket,
**[06:50] ---**
there's no one in the field who doesn't know him.
**[06:51] ---**
After all, he's an authority on genetic engineering.
**[06:54] ---**
What a remarkable man...
**[06:57] ---**
By the way, my beloved daughter,
I have some happy news.
**[07:00] ---**
What is it?
**[07:01] ---**
It has been decided that during this training trip
St. Friedeswiede is going on,
**[07:04] ---**
our town will play host to your wedding ceremony!
**[07:09] ---**
WHAT?!
**[07:11] ---**
Wait?!
**[07:12] ---**
When did that come up for discussion?!
**[07:14] ---**
I never heard a thing about it!
**[07:16] ---**
I do not intend to get married!
**[07:18] ---**
Oh, Rosetti... my lovely minx of a daughter!
**[07:22] ---**
I'm dating my Kuu over here!
**[07:26] ---**
Don't just ignore my feelings on the matter!
**[07:28] ---**
It's just as she says, Marquis Pricket.
**[07:30] ---**
So you're the guy?
**[07:31] ---**
How dare you seduce my daughter!
**[07:36] ---**
Are you...?!
**[07:37] ---**
Pa-Papa...?
**[07:38] ---**
No, I'm mistaken!
**[07:39] ---**
There's no way that could be!
**[07:41] ---**
What's the matter, Lord Pricket?
**[07:46] ---**
Excuse me.
**[07:47] ---**
You bear a striking resemblance to
someone I knew who's now dead.
**[07:50] ---**
A dead person?
**[07:53] ---**
It was about seven or eight years ago...
**[07:55] ---**
There had just been an atrocious
mass murder in our town.
**[08:00] ---**
Something like that happened there?
**[08:01] ---**
Ah, I see...
**[08:03] ---**
You have no recollection of that time.
**[08:05] ---**
The mastermind of the crime was considered
to be a boy who was 12 at the time.
**[08:10] ---**
I can see the face of that boy in this man here.
**[08:19] ---**
Come now!
**[08:20] ---**
The briefing for the training trip is about to begin!
**[08:23] ---**
Please head to the great hall immediately.
**[08:24] ---**
Understood.
**[08:26] ---**
Lord Pricket.
**[08:27] ---**
We'll be heading over this way.
**[08:29] ---**
Ah, excuse me.
**[08:35] ---**
Instructor, we should be going, too.
**[08:37] ---**
I'm very sorry, milady.
**[08:40] ---**
Huh?
**[08:41] ---**
I'm not feeling great.
**[08:43] ---**
So I will be excusing myself from the assembly.
**[08:46] ---**
Um, Instuctor?
**[08:48] ---**
Are you perhaps letting the things Director Stachie
and the Marquis said bother you?
**[08:52] ---**
No, milady.
**[08:58] ---**
You see...
**[08:59] ---**
So long as you acknowledge
and appreciate me, milady...
**[09:02] ---**
I'm able to believe in my own worth.
**[09:07] ---**
Well, then...
**[09:13] ---**
Instructor...
**[09:22] ---**
Something about Instructor's
demeanor back there seemed a bit off.
**[09:27] ---**
I think it was bothering him, after all.
**[09:29] ---**
Lita, what's wrong?
**[09:32] ---**
You've looked spaced out for a while now.
**[09:35] ---**
I wonder why my instructor won't
talk to me about anything...
**[09:41] ---**
Lita...
**[09:45] ---**
It seems I can't help but worry about my instructor.
**[09:49] ---**
I'm gonna try and catch up with him!
**[09:54] ---**
Good grief...
**[09:56] ---**
Why do I have to be an instructor at the academy?!
**[09:58] ---**
It's all that damn brute's fault!
**[10:02] ---**
Hey, Angel, where you going?
**[10:04] ---**
The assembly's still in session, you know.
**[10:06] ---**
Ah, Instructor Laqua...
**[10:08] ---**
Stay back!
**[10:10] ---**
Hey, what's wrong?
**[10:12] ---**
N-nothing...
**[10:14] ---**
Damn Infernal Blue-Fire Ice King!
**[10:17] ---**
Huh...?
**[10:18] ---**
What was that voice?
**[10:20] ---**
"Voice"?
**[10:21] ---**
What're you talking about?
**[10:23] ---**
Instructor Laqua, you didn't hear that just now?
**[10:26] ---**
NOO!
**[10:38] ---**
She's only fallen unconscious -
there are no external injuries.
**[10:42] ---**
Instructor?!
**[10:43] ---**
What in the world's going on?
**[10:45] ---**
I don't know.
**[10:47] ---**
I myself arrived here a moment ago.
**[10:50] ---**
Lord Pricket...
**[10:51] ---**
All of you onlookers, move further back!
**[10:54] ---**
It is important to preserve the scene!
**[10:57] ---**
Now, allow me to show you
some of my very finest magic.
**[11:02] ---**
"Magic"?
**[11:04] ---**
This is one of my revolutionary inventions:
**[11:07] ---**
A volatile agent that traces back to any sign of mana.
**[11:10] ---**
That is to say...
**[11:12] ---**
It will reproduce for us whoever it
was that was present at the scene.
**[11:36] ---**
This is the mana of the culprit!
**[11:40] ---**
That color is...
**[11:42] ---**
This mana is... Yes, it comes from a male.
**[11:46] ---**
One who's around the age of becoming an adult...
**[11:48] ---**
No, one in their teens.
**[11:56] ---**
The one thing I can say is...
**[11:59] ---**
as for ways to prove my innocence...
**[12:02] ---**
I have none.
**[12:24] ---**
Lita...
**[12:25] ---**
What do you think it is the culprit wants to accomplish?
**[12:29] ---**
You mean the blue-flamed culprit?
**[12:31] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:32] ---**
They said that schoolgirl lost consciousness
but didn't have any visible injuries.
**[12:38] ---**
What was it the offender wanted to do?
**[12:41] ---**
I don't know...
**[12:49] ---**
First time seeing an aurora and lightening,
is it, my little birdies?
**[12:54] ---**
That sight is one of the things my town is known for.
**[12:57] ---**
Is it possible the lightening is getting so dangerous
the train won't be able to head back home?
**[13:26] ---**
Now this is Shangarta!
**[13:28] ---**
It's a paradise in the depths of the earth.
**[13:33] ---**
Due to the gene-manipulation
technology I've brought forth,
**[13:37] ---**
this subterranean land is now
brimming with a variety of greenery.
**[13:43] ---**
Rare flowers!
**[13:45] ---**
Tenacious crops!
**[13:48] ---**
You can't see these back in Flandore!
**[13:50] ---**
We've allowed them make their way inside!
**[13:53] ---**
They've made it all the way here, have they?
**[13:56] ---**
As a side effect of the experimentation,
a huge forest has taken...
**[13:56] ---**
The sound of water...?
**[14:01] ---**
That voice I heard was coming from
the far side of this boulder...
**[14:07] ---**
Milady, have you grown tired of the lecture?
**[14:11] ---**
Instructor...
**[14:13] ---**
No!
**[14:14] ---**
Stay away from there!
**[14:17] ---**
This area is a mystery spot!
**[14:19] ---**
It's a world in which conventional
wisdom does not apply!
**[14:22] ---**
"Mystery spot"...?
**[14:23] ---**
Due to a strong kink in the magnetic field,
**[14:26] ---**
there is a spot that produces an uncanny
effect that goes against all common sense.
**[14:30] ---**
Blossom!
**[14:32] ---**
Oh, Dick! My future son!
**[14:35] ---**
You've come at a great time.
**[14:37] ---**
This here is the true fiancé of-
**[14:39] ---**
M-more importantly, Blossom...
**[14:41] ---**
Someone else has come down with it!
**[14:46] ---**
No!
**[14:47] ---**
Carnell! Carnell!
**[14:50] ---**
Those not versed in these things, step back!
**[14:53] ---**
Carnell!
**[14:58] ---**
Pathology Progression A.
**[15:00] ---**
It's too late for him.
**[15:01] ---**
Provide him with salvation!
**[15:09] ---**
No!
**[15:10] ---**
Stop!
**[15:14] ---**
Carnell!
**[15:14] ---**
And with that, his soul's been saved!
**[15:17] ---**
Lord Pricket!
**[15:18] ---**
What is the meaning of this?!
**[15:20] ---**
Conducting a public execution is a serious crime.
**[15:23] ---**
An execution?
**[15:25] ---**
Far from it!
**[15:27] ---**
This is salvation.
**[15:28] ---**
He was stricken with a disease.
**[15:31] ---**
"A disease"?
**[15:32] ---**
It's a rare illness that has been raging here in Shangarta.
**[15:34] ---**
One loses their rational faculties and is reduced
to a monster that desires only to slaughter.
**[15:39] ---**
Therefore...
**[15:41] ---**
We promptly put down any individuals
the diseases has progressed in.
**[15:48] ---**
This town is rather...
**[15:51] ---**
bizarre.
**[15:59] ---**
Papa is also the administrator of this place.
**[16:02] ---**
Sorry for dragging you into this whole ordeal.
**[16:05] ---**
I thought you'd for sure turn down
playing the role of my lover.
**[16:11] ---**
Why did you help me out, anyway?
**[16:15] ---**
"Big Sis" Rosetti!
**[16:17] ---**
Welcome home!
**[16:18] ---**
Oh, you little rascals!
**[16:20] ---**
Have you been good children?
**[16:21] ---**
Yes!
**[16:23] ---**
Quite a merry family you've got there.
**[16:25] ---**
Well, Papa doesn't discriminate when
it comes to kids who've lost all relatives.
**[16:29] ---**
"Big Sis"!
**[16:30] ---**
How long you staying this time?
**[16:32] ---**
Come play with us!
**[16:35] ---**
You know...
**[16:36] ---**
My memories from my childhood are pretty vague.
**[16:40] ---**
But, I've been told I lost my family.
**[16:45] ---**
Given the kind of place Shangarta is though...
**[16:48] ---**
Such a thing isn't uncommon.
**[16:52] ---**
Papa takes in children who, like me, have no
relatives, and he provides them with a new family.
**[16:58] ---**
That's a quite fine thing, I'd say.
**[17:00] ---**
Yeah, I think so, too.
**[17:04] ---**
Apparently, Papa himself lost
his own wife a long time ago.
**[17:08] ---**
"Big Sis" Rosetti, who's that man?
**[17:11] ---**
My fiancé!
**[17:14] ---**
Your big sis has brought her boyfriend back to our home!
**[17:22] ---**
Seems you had a leisurely fun time, huh, Instructor?!
**[17:26] ---**
Are you angry with me?
**[17:28] ---**
About what?
**[17:29] ---**
Here's a question for you, Instructor.
**[17:31] ---**
What do you think it is I'm mad about?
**[17:34] ---**
Could it be because I left you here by
yourself and headed out somewhere?
**[17:38] ---**
Instructor.
**[17:40] ---**
Please take out some socks and put them on me.
**[17:58] ---**
You're not mindful of the fact that I'm a girl anyway,
**[18:00] ---**
so I might as well have you help me change clothes.
**[18:02] ---**
After all, I'm just a child in your eyes.
**[18:05] ---**
Milady.
**[18:07] ---**
What is it?!
**[18:08] ---**
What do you say to going out
on a date with me right now?
**[18:13] ---**
"A d-date"?
**[18:21] ---**
I'm out on a middle-of-the-night date with my instructor!
**[18:37] ---**
I really wanted to show you this place, milady.
**[18:48] ---**
Actually, this limestone cave has an interesting trick to it.
**[19:09] ---**
This is one of the so-called mystery spots.
**[19:12] ---**
The surrounding rocks are strongly magnetized,
**[19:15] ---**
and within a certain area they produce
something much like weightlessness.
**[19:19] ---**
"Magnetized," you say?
**[19:20] ---**
Weightlessness also makes for
an effective training environment.
**[19:25] ---**
Is that right?
**[19:27] ---**
You see, in order to maintain your balance,
**[19:28] ---**
you rely on muscles you normally don't use.
**[19:31] ---**
Even in your room, it's possible to recreate something
like weightlessness by using a hammock.
**[19:36] ---**
How about we give it a try when we return home?
**[19:43] ---**
Instructor, why is that you know about this place?
**[19:48] ---**
I've previously come to this town for a mission.
**[19:51] ---**
"A mission"?
**[20:19] ---**
Instructor, will you take me on a date again sometime?
**[20:24] ---**
Any place is fine...
**[20:26] ---**
so long as it's together with you.
**[20:28] ---**
Milady...
**[20:29] ---**
I'm sorry for being selfish earlier today.
**[20:32] ---**
I just... wanted to pester you a bit.
**[20:38] ---**
I guess I'm a bit odd.
**[20:41] ---**
I want to be the only one who's acquainted with you.
**[20:44] ---**
I know it's a childish and selfish...
**[20:59] ---**
You're the first person to ever
feel that way about me, milady.
**[21:05] ---**
Which is why...
**[21:07] ---**
I'm not sure what I should do.
**[22:56] ---**
What is this place?
**[22:58] ---**
Instructor, where are you?
**[23:00] ---**
I want it... I want it...
**[23:03] ---**
I want blood!
**[23:05] ---**
That voice...
**[23:07] ---**
Give me your blood!
**[23:09] ---**
What was that dream just now?
**[23:11] ---**
I feel very unwell.
**[23:13] ---**
Lita! Lita! Are you awake?!
**[23:15] ---**
Elli? You can come on in.
**[23:18] ---**
Lita! Someone has been attacked again!
**[23:20] ---**
By that blue-flamed criminal!
**[23:36] ---**

**[00:09] ---**
Oh my god!
**[00:11] ---**
Who would do such a horrible thing?!
**[00:27] ---**
Although they don't have any
pronounced external injuries...
**[00:30] ---**
Sure enough...
**[00:31] ---**
Their vitality has been sucked up.
**[00:34] ---**
It bears a great resemblance to whatever the
student from our school was preyed upon by.
**[00:42] ---**
Melida.
**[00:44] ---**
Let's see what your private
tutor has to say about this.
**[00:47] ---**
Th-the thing is...
**[00:50] ---**
I haven't been able to find him
since I woke up this morning.
**[00:55] ---**
There's no doubt that young man is a key
person of interest in relation to this incident!
**[01:00] ---**
Track him down and bring him before me!
**[01:05] ---**
If that's what you ask of us, Blossom!
**[01:07] ---**
Yeah, right on!
**[01:11] ---**
Hey, Lita.
**[01:12] ---**
There's something I want to tell you about.
**[01:16] ---**
Sorry, Elli.
**[01:17] ---**
I want to be alone right now.
**[01:22] ---**
Lita...
**[02:55] ---**
The Last Testament of a Certain Skeleton
**[02:59] ---**
Why would Instructor Kufa do that?
**[03:01] ---**
Did he really?
**[03:04] ---**
Attention everyone!
**[03:05] ---**
We may have experienced
a heartbreaking event,
**[03:08] ---**
but try not to let it get to you.
**[03:11] ---**
Let's press on and continue
our studies and training here.
**[03:17] ---**
Can't say I'm impressed.
**[03:20] ---**
To think a top student like
yourself is trying to escape!
**[03:23] ---**
I bet you were thinking,
**[03:25] ---**
"If no one is going to believe him,
**[03:27] ---**
then I need to take my instructor's
side and stand by him."
**[03:30] ---**
Am I right?
**[03:32] ---**
W-well...
**[03:37] ---**
Pretty foolish, aren't you?
**[03:38] ---**
I'm seeing you in a new light.
**[03:40] ---**
Maybe you have the right idea.
**[03:42] ---**
Seems a lot more worthwhile than some
boring investigation of historic ruins.
**[03:49] ---**
In the first place, Angel...
**[03:50] ---**
Have you started to get an idea of what
it is we should be investigating?
**[03:54] ---**
I don't know.
**[03:56] ---**
But I can't just stand around and do nothing.
**[04:00] ---**
The mystery spots.
**[04:02] ---**
Kufa was talking about them.
**[04:04] ---**
He said in recent years there's been an unnatural
surge in the number of mystery spots in town.
**[04:09] ---**
Instructor Kufa said that?
**[04:11] ---**
He asked a favor of me.
**[04:13] ---**
He said, "If anything should happen to me,
I'd like you to watch over Lady Melida."
**[04:19] ---**
Jeez, he goes and asks me of all people...
**[04:22] ---**
My instructor did such a thing?
**[04:24] ---**
We're gonna go around town
and ask some questions now.
**[04:26] ---**
But, I stand out too much.
**[04:29] ---**
Being an instructor at my age and all...
**[04:31] ---**
Ah, so that's why you're disguising
yourself as a student?
**[04:35] ---**
What do you think?
**[04:36] ---**
Does it suit me?
**[04:40] ---**
Oh...?
**[04:41] ---**
You're still inside the hotel?
**[04:43] ---**
Shouldn't you be attending to your studies?
**[04:48] ---**
My little sister left something
behind in the room!
**[04:50] ---**
She was being a big baby saying,
"I can't go back unless my big sis is with me,"
**[04:54] ---**
which is why we're here together!
**[04:56] ---**
I-I love my kindhearted big sister!
**[05:00] ---**
Oh my, the two of you certainly are close.
**[05:05] ---**
Here's some chocolate for you.
**[05:09] ---**
Y-yay!
**[05:16] ---**
Hey, Angel, I'll get even with you for that.
**[05:21] ---**
In any case, let's start
gathering some information.
**[05:23] ---**
Okay, I'll give it a shot!
**[05:27] ---**
Hey now, Angel!
**[05:29] ---**
Excuse me!
**[05:30] ---**
Oh, a cute little schoolgirl.
**[05:33] ---**
Something I can help you with?
**[05:34] ---**
Actually, there's something I'd like to
ask people from this town about...
**[05:37] ---**
What is it?
**[05:39] ---**
You see, I'm looking into
this town's mystery spots.
**[05:46] ---**
They scolded me harshly, saying,
"Don't go near them on a lark."
**[05:51] ---**
I did get a piece of candy, though.
**[05:54] ---**
I award you zero points.
**[05:57] ---**
I'll show you how it's done.
**[06:00] ---**
Big Sis, buy me some flowers!
**[06:03] ---**
Huh?
**[06:04] ---**
S-sure.
**[06:06] ---**
What an unusual scent and shape...
**[06:08] ---**
Big Sis, what's this flower called?
**[06:11] ---**
Uh, let me see...
**[06:13] ---**
Well, you see...
**[06:15] ---**
It's a selectively-bred variety that might as well
be called a Shangarta brand, young ladies.
**[06:20] ---**
Amazing!
**[06:22] ---**
Being able to enjoy colorful
flowers in an arid land like this
**[06:25] ---**
is one of the many things
that's all thanks to Blossom.
**[06:28] ---**
Ma'am, as a matter of fact,
we're doing some research.
**[06:33] ---**
Oh, about what?
**[06:34] ---**
About the great achievements of
Marquis Blossom Pricket!
**[06:39] ---**
Well that's just wonderful, isn't it?!
**[06:41] ---**
Yes!
**[06:42] ---**
Speaking of Marquis Blossom's achievements,
there's the development of new crop varieties...
**[06:46] ---**
and also - let's see...
**[06:49] ---**
The identification of mystery spots, right?!
**[06:51] ---**
Thanks to which there are far fewer people
who end up getting injured these days!
**[06:55] ---**
What's a "mystery spot"?!
**[06:57] ---**
I've heard they're dangerous places...
**[07:04] ---**
Well done indeed, Instructor Laque!
**[07:06] ---**
What can I say?
**[07:07] ---**
Although for now I've resigned myself
to the position I temporarily hold...
**[07:10] ---**
The true me is...
**[07:13] ---**
Pretty amazing like that, you know!
**[07:14] ---**
Extracting intel during the course
of a spontaneous conversation...
**[07:17] ---**
is only the beginning of what I can do.
**[07:19] ---**
The mystery spots that old
lady mentioned were...
**[07:22] ---**
"The Whirlpool Forest,"
**[07:24] ---**
"The Zero-Gravity Cave,"
**[07:26] ---**
and...
**[07:27] ---**
The most suspicious of all
was "The Crooked House."
**[07:30] ---**
That must be it!
**[07:36] ---**
Blossom Pricket was especially strict about
forbidding anyone from entering this area.
**[07:45] ---**
There's nothing here.
**[07:51] ---**
Just as I suspected.
**[07:53] ---**
This place isn't a mystery spot.
**[07:55] ---**
Huh?
**[07:56] ---**
This log cabin didn't become
crooked over time...
**[08:00] ---**
It was built that way from the start.
**[08:03] ---**
But why?!
**[08:04] ---**
By hiding something within
another "product of nature,"
**[08:07] ---**
the aim was probably to make sure people
and their prying eyes kept their distance.
**[08:12] ---**
There it is.
**[08:20] ---**
Hey, Angel.
**[08:21] ---**
There's no telling what
might happen down there.
**[08:25] ---**
Stay close by at all times.
**[08:34] ---**
I bet this is meant to prevent intruders.
**[08:38] ---**
If it was just an ordinary cellar,
**[08:39] ---**
there'd be no need to construct
it so deep underground.
**[08:42] ---**
And not putting on lamps on the
stairway is also quite absurd.
**[08:45] ---**
By instilling a sense of fear and anxiety,
**[08:48] ---**
the aim is to deter people from
heading further inside, you see.
**[08:53] ---**
To put it the other way around,
**[08:54] ---**
it speaks to the fact that
venturing inside is unadvisable.
**[09:01] ---**
Seems we've arrived.
**[09:05] ---**
A dungeon?
**[09:32] ---**
Instructor Laque, who are those people?
**[09:35] ---**
Judging from their clothing,
they're likely residents of Shangarta.
**[09:39] ---**
Moreover, those aren't regular old corpses.
**[09:41] ---**
Huh?
**[09:43] ---**
Loup-garous...
**[09:44] ---**
Humans affected by the "night gene-factor"
who weren't able to fully transform,
**[09:50] ---**
would-be lancanthropes...
**[09:52] ---**
Those corpses are failed loup-garous.
**[09:57] ---**
Look at that man's arm.
**[10:05] ---**
That's the man who...
**[10:08] ---**
"Rare illness"? Yeah, right!
**[10:10] ---**
The thing raging around
this town is no disease.
**[10:13] ---**
The residents are being used
for some sort of experiment.
**[10:17] ---**
The Marquis is starting
to look pretty suspicious.
**[10:20] ---**
Marquis Blossom?
**[10:22] ---**
The specimens he collected that
he professed as diseased
**[10:25] ---**
were likely carried to this place that's hidden from
public view and then used in his experiments.
**[10:32] ---**
And I suppose that's why he deliberately
increased the number of mystery spots.
**[10:36] ---**
How half-hearted!
**[10:39] ---**
It's not enough...
**[10:40] ---**
Blood! Show me some blood!
**[10:42] ---**
Kill them! Go on and kill them!
**[10:45] ---**
Hey, Angel, are you listening to me?
**[10:48] ---**
That voice...
**[10:52] ---**
There's going to be another incident!
**[10:54] ---**
Hey! Angel?!
**[10:57] ---**
Why...
**[10:59] ---**
Do I know where the next incident
is going to take place?
**[11:05] ---**
They say someone's been attacked again.
**[11:07] ---**
This time it was a school kid...
**[11:09] ---**
She's dead... DEAD!
**[11:16] ---**
Headmistress!
**[11:18] ---**
Miss Angel, where have you been?
**[11:25] ---**
Why...?
**[11:26] ---**
Why did this happen?!
**[11:29] ---**
Elli?!
**[11:30] ---**
Hang in there, Elli!
**[11:33] ---**
She's breathing...
**[11:35] ---**
What a relief.
**[11:38] ---**
Elli isn't wounded...
**[11:40] ---**
So, where's this blood from?
**[11:44] ---**
Rosetti, why did you die?
**[11:48] ---**
Why was it that you had to be murdered?!
**[12:04] ---**
Instructor Rosetti...
**[12:06] ---**
Is dead?
**[12:08] ---**
Headmistress?
**[12:10] ---**
When we rushed over here after being notified,
we arrived to the same scene you did.
**[12:15] ---**
Miss Angel.
**[12:17] ---**
You didn't take part in the
training session either, right?
**[12:20] ---**
C-correct.
**[12:22] ---**
It would seem Elise noticed your absence,
became concerned, and then headed back here.
**[12:28] ---**
Elli did that?
**[12:29] ---**
It's probable that Instructor
Rosetti then accompanied her...
**[12:34] ---**
So long as she went along with her,
I gave my tacit approval,
**[12:37] ---**
but it turned out to be most careless of me.
**[12:41] ---**
There are signs that Instructor
Rosetti put up a fight.
**[12:44] ---**
Assuming she was overpowered
and wrestled to the floor,
**[12:48] ---**
the culprit is no average joe.
**[12:50] ---**
Must be that man!
**[12:53] ---**
I bet he's a soldier!
**[12:54] ---**
Hail the town folk for me!
**[12:57] ---**
It's that man with the military
uniform and the black hair!
**[12:59] ---**
He's the guy who killed Rosetti!
**[13:02] ---**
Drag him before me ASAP!
**[13:06] ---**
Ah, Marquis Blossom...
**[13:08] ---**
My daughter's soul is still here with us!
**[13:11] ---**
I'll attempt to bring her back to life!
**[13:12] ---**
Marquis, is it right to handle
Lady Rosetti so roughly?
**[13:16] ---**
What the hell would a school kid know?!
**[13:19] ---**
I'm a man who's been called a sage!
**[13:21] ---**
I shall overcome even the
state between life and death!
**[13:46] ---**
Soundly defeating a Paladin and the
Carrier Marquis at the same time, huh?
**[13:50] ---**
There aren't too many people
capable of pulling that off.
**[13:56] ---**
Excuse me, Instructor Laque.
**[13:59] ---**
Could you please give me a
little time alone with Elli?
**[14:05] ---**
In any case...
**[14:06] ---**
We're not going to be able to leave this
town until the lightning outside subsides.
**[14:12] ---**
There can be no more jumping
the gun and acting rashly.
**[14:23] ---**
I'm sorry, Elli.
**[14:25] ---**
If I hadn't gone off on my own like that...
**[14:28] ---**
You never would have gotten wrapped
up in that incident, you know?
**[14:32] ---**
Hey, Lita...
**[14:33] ---**
There's something I want to tell you about.
**[14:37] ---**
Elli...
**[14:40] ---**
Back then...
**[14:42] ---**
What was it you wanted to tell me?
**[15:02] ---**
Elli...
**[15:03] ---**
I'm weak, so lend me your strength.
**[15:07] ---**
Get that student!
**[15:08] ---**
The pupil of that uniform-clad man!
**[15:10] ---**
Hurry up!
**[15:10] ---**
What?!
**[15:11] ---**
Avenge Rosetti!
What?!
**[15:11] ---**
Avenge Rosetti!
Melida!
**[15:12] ---**
You need to get out of here right away!
**[15:14] ---**
Shenfa, did something happen?
**[15:17] ---**
This time Marquis Blossom was attacked!
**[15:21] ---**
Apparently, the culprit wounded the Marquis
and then made off with Rosetti's corpse.
**[15:26] ---**
At the scene of crime,
there were some flames of blue mana left behind.
**[15:30] ---**
Even the academy director is no longer
capable of standing up for your instructor.
**[15:36] ---**
She in there?!
**[15:37] ---**
That blond student!
**[15:42] ---**
Open up!
**[15:43] ---**
Wh-what's going on?
**[15:46] ---**
The townspeople have become aware
of your connection to Instructor Kufa.
**[15:50] ---**
They're saying that if they take you hostage
they'll be able to lure out the culprit.
**[15:56] ---**
Let's break down the door!
**[15:57] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:58] ---**
Make a run for it, Melida!
**[16:00] ---**
Hurry!
**[16:01] ---**
Okay!
**[16:11] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[16:13] ---**
Shenfa.
**[16:15] ---**
Elli.
**[16:16] ---**
Headmistress.
**[16:17] ---**
Instructor Laque.
**[16:19] ---**
Instructor Kufa.
**[16:23] ---**
I'm going to get to the bottom of this!
**[16:25] ---**
For the sake of Elli and Instructor Rosetti.
**[16:28] ---**
And, above all, in order
to save Instructor Kufa!
**[16:37] ---**
Sure enough, I can hear it...
**[16:39] ---**
The sound of water.
**[16:42] ---**
Milady, have you grown tired of the lecture?
**[16:45] ---**
Instructor...
**[16:47] ---**
No!
**[16:48] ---**
Stay away from there!
**[16:51] ---**
This area is a mystery spot!
**[16:53] ---**
It's a world in which conventional
wisdom does not apply!
**[16:57] ---**
I now know based on my investigation
with Instructor Laque...
**[16:59] ---**
Mystery spots include more than just
places affected by magnetic fields.
**[17:04] ---**
Besides...
**[17:05] ---**
Instructor Kufa was also trying to keep me
away from this boulder for some reason.
**[17:23] ---**
"Mystery spot"? I think not!
**[17:26] ---**
There's definitely some
trickery at play here.
**[17:46] ---**
A spiderweb?
**[18:17] ---**
Is that...
**[18:18] ---**
Marquis Blossom's signature?
**[18:25] ---**
And here, too... and here... and here...
**[18:28] ---**
The writing in all of them regards
research on the "night gene-factor"
**[18:32] ---**
and its extraction and transplantation?
**[18:35] ---**
"From lancanthropes, the basis of the curse,
**[18:37] ---**
the night gene-factor,
must first be extracted."
**[18:40] ---**
Then, infect humans with it.
**[18:43] ---**
In theory, it should be possible.
**[18:46] ---**
However, there can be no expectation that
such a dreadful experiment will succeed.
**[18:53] ---**
In fact, seven years ago I failed
to control the night gene-factor.
**[19:04] ---**
I can sense it.
**[19:05] ---**
Someone has crept inside my old haunt.
**[19:09] ---**
I currently lack the sense of sight...
**[19:11] ---**
Who the hell are you?
**[19:14] ---**
I-I'm a young Paladin
girl named Melida Angel!
**[19:18] ---**
Now, what about you?
**[19:19] ---**
Show yourself!
**[19:21] ---**
A Paladin...?
**[19:24] ---**
I see.
**[19:25] ---**
You'll make for a very useful
specimen in the experiments.
**[19:29] ---**
A bright idea just occurred to me.
**[19:31] ---**
What...?
**[19:44] ---**
Instructor Rosetti?!
**[19:46] ---**
So you're still alive, then!
**[19:54] ---**
I want it...
**[19:56] ---**
I want...
**[19:57] ---**
Blood.
**[19:59] ---**
Give me your blood!
**[20:11] ---**
Blue... mana?
**[20:14] ---**
This is the mana of the culprit!
**[20:17] ---**
Lita!
**[20:17] ---**
Someone has been attacked again!
**[20:20] ---**
By that blue-flamed criminal!
**[20:22] ---**
Instructor Rosetti, did you...
**[20:24] ---**
Was all of this your doing,
Instructor Rosetti?!
**[20:35] ---**
Now, drink!
**[20:36] ---**
This time, suck the very
life out of your prey!
**[20:38] ---**
Present me with the sweet smell of blood!
**[20:42] ---**
His pupil shall be the first one sacrificed!
**[20:53] ---**
Instructor...?!
**[20:54] ---**
Snap out of it, Rose!
**[20:58] ---**
So you've shown yourself, Ice King!
**[21:14] ---**
Rose!
**[21:16] ---**
You're not an inhabitant of the darkness!
**[21:18] ---**
Your memories of the time you spent as a
human should act to constrain you now!
**[21:24] ---**
Remember!
**[21:25] ---**
Remember all the people who love you!
**[21:37] ---**
It's futile.
**[21:39] ---**
There's no defying seven
years' worth of thirst.
**[21:42] ---**
Just sit back and watch the repulsive sight
of that woman fall under my control.
**[21:56] ---**
Instructor...
**[21:59] ---**
What's with your appearance?
**[23:36] ---**

**[00:07] ---**
Don't come near me.
**[00:10] ---**
Wh-what'll happen if I do?
**[00:21] ---**
I-Instructor, what're you doing?!
**[00:24] ---**
Milady...
**[00:25] ---**
I will now completely freeze any recollection
of me within your memories...
**[00:31] ---**
And confine it deep down in your heart.
**[00:35] ---**
With my anima,
**[00:37] ---**
such a thing's not beyond my capabilities.
**[00:40] ---**
There will be no pain or aftereffects.
**[00:43] ---**
However, it will be like reverting
back to the day we first met...
**[00:46] ---**
As we start over again
from, "Nice to meet you."
**[02:20] ---**
I-I don't want that!
**[02:23] ---**
Rest easy.
**[02:24] ---**
An Eternal Pact
**[02:25] ---**
No matter how much you might forget,
**[02:28] ---**
I will not quit being your private tutor.
**[02:30] ---**
Instructor!
**[02:32] ---**
No one has ever accepted
me when I look as I do now.
**[02:38] ---**
It frightens me when you look at
me the way you are right now.
**[02:43] ---**
Please forgive me, milady.
**[02:45] ---**
This isn't about either my duty or mission,
**[02:49] ---**
but only my own ego.
**[02:54] ---**
Instructor...
**[02:57] ---**
No matter how the wider world may view you,
**[03:02] ---**
I alone will always be on your side.
**[03:09] ---**
So please, Instructor, believe in me.
**[03:12] ---**
Especially when I say that I believe in you.
**[03:18] ---**
Your white hair.
**[03:21] ---**
Your ears.
**[03:22] ---**
Your nearly-translucent skin.
**[03:24] ---**
I think they're all lovely.
**[03:28] ---**
Like this...
**[03:34] ---**
I admire you to the point
I can't help kissing you.
**[03:38] ---**
M-milady...
**[03:39] ---**
What do you think you're doing?
**[03:41] ---**
You're the one who pinned me
down on the ground, Instructor.
**[03:44] ---**
But I'm not like you.
**[03:46] ---**
After all, I was born and raised in
the barbarous land of eternal night.
**[03:51] ---**
Instructor...
**[03:54] ---**
I'm half lancanthrope, which
is to say your natural enemy.
**[04:14] ---**
Not bad.
**[04:15] ---**
I think I'll make this the staple of my diet.
**[04:19] ---**
The children...
**[04:21] ---**
The children are...!
**[04:22] ---**
This is why I put an end to it!
**[04:25] ---**
There's no way such a dreadful
experiment could succeed!
**[04:28] ---**
Shut up!
**[04:29] ---**
It is indeed true we failed to
control the night gene-factor.
**[04:32] ---**
However, your beloved emitted the
miasma and continues to live on.
**[04:36] ---**
Isn't that right?!
**[04:39] ---**
From now on, loup-garous will
occur frequently in this land.
**[04:43] ---**
That simply means you will have a
periodic supply of new test subjects.
**[04:49] ---**
A d-dead body did what?!
**[04:52] ---**
A half vampire, huh?
**[04:54] ---**
I failed to notice earlier.
**[04:56] ---**
It's impressive that you managed to
mix in among all the church children.
**[05:02] ---**
Sorry, Rose.
**[05:06] ---**
So you intend to make her
into one of your vampire Kin?
**[05:11] ---**
But by doing so that girl will be
plagued with an urge to suck blood.
**[05:15] ---**
She'll be reduced to a
monster who feasts on huma-
**[05:20] ---**
Oh?
**[05:21] ---**
Kill it!
**[05:39] ---**
You've got me...
**[05:40] ---**
Didn't know ya were a damn Testament class.
**[05:42] ---**
You've got some nerve wounding
me like that, mana user.
**[05:46] ---**
But I've found the next thing
to experiment with: mana!
**[05:50] ---**
And you shall be the first sacrifice!
**[06:03] ---**
I can't see! I'm blind!
**[06:12] ---**
So long, you monster!
**[06:30] ---**
I think...
**[06:31] ---**
My days in the field may be over now.
**[06:38] ---**
Just what are you trying to do, kid?
**[06:41] ---**
I'm putting her memories to sleep.
**[06:42] ---**
What?
**[06:44] ---**
If she forgets all about me,
**[06:46] ---**
she should also lose her
awareness that she's Kin!
**[06:48] ---**
Doing this will mean she won't
suffer from a thirst for blood.
**[06:53] ---**
So, I have a favor to ask.
**[06:55] ---**
Can you at least let Rose go?
**[06:58] ---**
You're a solider of Flandore, aren't you?!
**[07:01] ---**
Sooner or later that girl will regain
her awareness that she's Kin,
**[07:05] ---**
and there's no guarantee
she won't attack humans.
**[07:09] ---**
I will keep an eye on her.
**[07:11] ---**
And in exchange for this I'll become your
subordinate and pledge my loyalty to you.
**[07:16] ---**
If I take you up on that offer,
you must never unseal her memories.
**[07:22] ---**
That girl can never again
remember who you are.
**[07:25] ---**
I'm okay with that.
**[07:27] ---**
She won't be grateful to you.
**[07:29] ---**
She won't pay you any thought.
**[07:31] ---**
You'll be all alone,
**[07:32] ---**
remaining frozen as you merely
gaze at her from afar.
**[07:36] ---**
I'm prepared for that.
**[07:38] ---**
How can you bring yourself to go that far?
**[07:43] ---**
Because I want her to be happy.
**[07:51] ---**
Big... brother.
**[07:57] ---**
It'll be alright, Rose.
**[08:00] ---**
I'll always be watching over you.
**[08:03] ---**
So, go on and rest easy now.
**[08:10] ---**
As things stand...
**[08:11] ---**
There's nowhere in Flandore that would
accept a half-human half-lancanthrope.
**[08:16] ---**
If my lineage were to come to light...
**[08:18] ---**
I'd likely be executed.
**[08:20] ---**
My God!
**[08:22] ---**
Can you promise to never let slip a single
word about what we've just discussed?
**[08:30] ---**
It's a promise, alright?
**[08:31] ---**
If it turns out you're unable to keep it...
**[08:35] ---**
I'll go like this and kill you, okay?
**[08:41] ---**
U-understood.
**[08:42] ---**
I'll keep the secret till the day I die.
**[08:46] ---**
Good.
**[08:48] ---**
The issue now is Rosetti.
**[08:50] ---**
Someone is trying to pry open the door
behind which I sealed her memories.
**[08:55] ---**
You mean the lancanthrope
whose voice I heard earlier?
**[08:59] ---**
Yes.
**[09:01] ---**
The one responsible for sowing the seeds of
a nightmare in Shangarta seven years ago...
**[09:06] ---**
Naqua.
**[09:08] ---**
To think that he somehow
managed to survive...
**[09:12] ---**
He has partnered up with Marquis Brosum,
**[09:14] ---**
in what I believe is a bid to secure a large
number of followers to act as his military force.
**[09:19] ---**
Toward that end, they chose
a fiancé for Rosetti,
**[09:22] ---**
in hopes of growing the family
tree of mana users in town.
**[09:25] ---**
That's why they brought
Instructor Rosetti here?!
**[09:28] ---**
Yes.
**[09:30] ---**
And when Rosetti draws out her power,
**[09:33] ---**
my true nature ends up
getting dragged out, too.
**[09:35] ---**
So even just showing my face in
public means that I'm taking a risk.
**[09:40] ---**
If that wasn't so, I never
would've left you alone, milady.
**[09:44] ---**
Instructor...
**[09:46] ---**
The way that guy hurt Instructor Rosetti and
Elli and is causing you such distress...
**[09:53] ---**
It makes my blood boil!
**[09:55] ---**
I feel the same way.
**[09:57] ---**
There is, however, one scheme capable
of laying waste to his ambitions...
**[10:02] ---**
So, what's the problem?
**[10:04] ---**
It's not something I can do on my own.
**[10:07] ---**
So, milady...
**[10:09] ---**
Will you allow me to
entrust you with my life?
**[10:13] ---**
Instructor...
**[10:15] ---**
My life is always bound together with yours.
**[10:28] ---**
That's Sir Brosum for you!
**[10:30] ---**
To think he healed Lady Rosetti
despite her being injured so gravely...
**[10:35] ---**
Don't you think there's something
off with Instructor Rosetti?
**[10:38] ---**
I wonder if it's because she
hasn't made a full recovery yet...
**[10:42] ---**
Now, pledge your loyalty as man and wi-
**[10:45] ---**
Put a stop to the wedding!
**[10:52] ---**
Wh-who the hell are you?!
**[10:55] ---**
Instructor Rosetti!
**[10:56] ---**
I'm not about to let you
back out of our competition!
**[11:01] ---**
If you're going to get married,
then please acknowledge it right now.
**[11:04] ---**
When it comes to love for Instructor Kufa,
yours is no match for mine!
**[11:08] ---**
Ku...
**[11:09] ---**
Kuu...?
**[11:12] ---**
H-hey, Rose...
**[11:15] ---**
Instructor Rosetti,
**[11:16] ---**
my instructor and I have
already kissed twice!
**[11:28] ---**
Instructor Rosetti!
**[11:30] ---**
Don't do anything to upset Elli
and I more than you already have!
**[11:37] ---**
K-kissed, you say?!
**[11:42] ---**
I haven't been able to
do that yet, you know?!
**[11:45] ---**
There's no way I can let this slide.
**[11:47] ---**
I had a feeling the time would come when
I'd have to settle things with you, Melida.
**[11:52] ---**
Same here!
**[11:54] ---**
I'm about to show you the strength of the
bond between mentor and apprentice!
**[11:58] ---**
Which of us is worthy of standing
by Instructor Kufa's side?!
**[12:01] ---**
Which of us has stronger feelings for Kuu?!
**[12:04] ---**
You're on!
**[12:05] ---**
Polka Spanish!
**[12:09] ---**
Phantom-Blade: Fledging Divine Power!
**[12:16] ---**
Was her attack overly weak?
**[12:25] ---**
Too hot!
**[12:28] ---**
You're going to die if you don't put a fight.
**[12:36] ---**
You've really gone and
done it now, Melida Angel!
**[12:40] ---**
The one truly responsible for
attacking the children...
**[12:43] ---**
is that lancanthrope right there!
**[12:46] ---**
A lancanthrope?!
**[12:47] ---**
No way... This bastard
caused those incidents?!
**[12:51] ---**
It seems I underestimated you, Melida Angel.
**[12:56] ---**
I am most delighted to see you.
**[12:59] ---**
My name is Naqua.
**[13:00] ---**
I am a lancanthrope and an arachne.
**[13:03] ---**
Take him down!
**[13:14] ---**
Not so fast!
**[13:18] ---**
Why are you looking so
courageous all of a sudden?
**[13:21] ---**
Have you finally remembered?
**[13:22] ---**
Yes, I remember now!
**[13:25] ---**
About everything you
forced me to do, that is!
**[13:40] ---**
Lady Elise...
**[13:42] ---**
This time, suck some blood!
**[13:45] ---**
You're thirsty, aren't you?
**[13:50] ---**
N-no.
**[13:53] ---**
Lady Elise is...
**[13:54] ---**
In that case, die, bitch!
**[14:01] ---**
It was you back then, too!
**[14:03] ---**
You were behind the catastrophe
that occurred when I was child!
**[14:06] ---**
So you remember even that now, do you?
**[14:11] ---**
Having hindered my plans to the extent you have,
you leave me no choice.
**[14:15] ---**
As a mana user,
I'll have you provide me with your flesh alone!
**[14:27] ---**
Get away from my little sister!
**[14:33] ---**
Kuu?!
**[14:34] ---**
Ice King!
**[14:36] ---**
Awaken, Rose!
**[14:46] ---**
Rose, we're gonna kill that bastard.
**[14:48] ---**
Yeah!
**[14:50] ---**
Kill me?
**[14:54] ---**
I'm an arachne...
**[14:56] ---**
One of the grand lords who
rule over the night world!
**[15:17] ---**
How insolent of you, Rosetti!
**[15:35] ---**
Where are you?!
**[15:39] ---**
Grimstrom!
**[15:52] ---**
A zero-gravity rocky tract?!
**[15:56] ---**
Damn it, I can't move.
**[16:23] ---**
It's futile!
**[16:25] ---**
Given I possess the ability to break apart,
you can't fully annihilate me!
**[16:30] ---**
At this rate, he'll just rise again!
**[16:31] ---**
This time's different than seven years ago.
**[16:37] ---**
Wha...?!
**[16:38] ---**
Reduce every last one to ashes!
**[16:40] ---**
Phantom-Blade: Fledging Divine Power!
**[16:55] ---**
This was your plan all along, wasn't it?!
**[16:59] ---**
Our intertwined fate ends here.
**[17:03] ---**
W-wait!
**[17:05] ---**
Stop it!
**[17:18] ---**
I remember everything now.
**[17:21] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[17:23] ---**
About you!
**[17:25] ---**
About way back then!
**[17:26] ---**
All of it!
**[17:31] ---**
I've wanted to see you for so long now.
**[17:34] ---**
Huh?
**[17:39] ---**
I'm going to seal up your memories again now.
**[17:44] ---**
No!
**[17:45] ---**
I don't want that!
**[17:47] ---**
In exchange for sealing off
your awareness of being Kin...
**[17:50] ---**
You can remain in public society.
**[17:53] ---**
That's the pact I made with my guild.
**[17:57] ---**
Please understand.
**[18:00] ---**
I...
**[18:02] ---**
Want to live alongside you!
**[18:05] ---**
It's cold over here.
**[18:07] ---**
I want you to smile in the sunshine, Rose.
**[18:11] ---**
I don't want to forget about you!
**[18:15] ---**
It'll be alright.
**[18:17] ---**
I'll always be by your side keeping watch...
**[18:21] ---**
Over you, Rose, forever and always...
**[18:26] ---**
Big... brother.
**[18:30] ---**
So please...
**[18:32] ---**
Go on and rest easy now.
**[18:49] ---**
Ah, Carmilla...
**[18:52] ---**
What am I supposed to do now?
**[18:55] ---**
You never once let me
into this room, did you?
**[19:02] ---**
Are you...?!
**[19:04] ---**
Is this woman here your wife?
**[19:08] ---**
She has begun to turn into a lancanthrope.
**[19:11] ---**
You used Naqua's abilities
to stop the process.
**[19:13] ---**
Didn't you?
**[19:15] ---**
Saving her was part of the
deal you made with Naqua.
**[19:21] ---**
What else was I to do?!
**[19:24] ---**
If I hadn't had Naqua lend me his power,
there was nothing I could've done.
**[19:31] ---**
Do you remember, Marquis?
**[19:34] ---**
As a young boy,
**[19:36] ---**
when my mother and I were persecuted in this
town and it seemed we'd die in the gutter,
**[19:40] ---**
you welcomed us and took us into your church.
**[19:43] ---**
And you attended my mother on her deathbed,
**[19:46] ---**
and then gave me a new family
after I was orphaned.
**[19:50] ---**
That was all just...
**[19:51] ---**
Me acting on a whim!
**[19:55] ---**
This is a drug that returns a partial
lancanthrope back to being fully human.
**[20:02] ---**
Consider this the one and only
time I show you filial piety.
**[20:20] ---**
Carmilla!
**[20:22] ---**
My beloved Carmilla!
**[20:27] ---**
Farewell, Father...
**[20:35] ---**
Did you hear?
**[20:36] ---**
They say he turned himself
in to the authorities.
**[20:38] ---**
Marquis Brosum, I mean.
**[20:40] ---**
Sir Brosum was also responsible for the
lancanthrope and that "rare illness" in town, right?
**[20:45] ---**
I also hear that his wife,
who has just returned,
**[20:47] ---**
will take over looking after the
church and all the children.
**[20:49] ---**
I'm glad you woke back up, Elli!
**[20:53] ---**
I wasn't about to leave
you all on your own, Lita.
**[20:55] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[20:56] ---**
You say that like I can't stand being alone!
**[20:59] ---**
Am I wrong?
**[21:02] ---**
Well, maybe you're right.
**[21:04] ---**
I've come to realize something...
**[21:06] ---**
I can't achieve anything all by myself.
**[21:10] ---**
Lita, did something happen
while I was sleeping?
**[21:13] ---**
N-nothing all that major.
**[21:18] ---**
You're acting suspicious!
**[21:19] ---**
I'm gonna tickle you to till you come clean!
**[21:23] ---**
Cut that out.
**[21:23] ---**
I'll tickle you back!
**[21:26] ---**
For some reason my memory of
my time in town's pretty vague...
**[21:31] ---**
I don't think there's any need to
try forcing yourself to remember.
**[21:34] ---**
You think so?
**[21:37] ---**
Are you sure you're okay with
not staying there a bit longer?
**[21:40] ---**
It's fine.
**[21:41] ---**
After all, although Papa may
not be around anymore...
**[21:43] ---**
Mom came back.
**[21:46] ---**
Besides, I have my own job to take care of.
**[21:49] ---**
I mean, wasn't staying in your hometown
and living a laid-back life an option?
**[21:56] ---**
To be honest, I've never
told anyone about this,
**[22:00] ---**
but I had a goal in mind when
I decided to join Crest Legion.
**[22:04] ---**
"A goal"?
**[22:05] ---**
There's someone I want to see again.
**[22:07] ---**
When I was little,
**[22:09] ---**
I feel like they were
by my side all the time,
**[22:11] ---**
but now I can't seem to remember
either their name or face...
**[22:17] ---**
So, anyway, my plan's to become famous!
**[22:21] ---**
If I can do great things as part of Crest Legion
and become known to people all over Flandore...
**[22:25] ---**
...then the other person
will find you instead.
**[22:27] ---**
You've got it!
**[22:29] ---**
Instructor...
**[22:35] ---**
No fair!
**[22:36] ---**
The seat next to Kuu's is mine!
**[22:38] ---**
And why is that?
**[22:40] ---**
I thought you're done pretending to
be lovers now, aren't you?
**[22:44] ---**
But, but, but...!
**[22:46] ---**
Besides, my instructor and I have the sort of
relationship where we've already kissed.
**[22:50] ---**
Yeah, now that you bring it up...
**[22:53] ---**
What is the deal with that?!
**[23:36] ---**

**[00:03] ---**
Can anyone here explain the characteristics
of the eight basic Classes
**[00:05] ---**
and their superiority and
inferiority from a strategic perspective?
**[00:11] ---**
Well then, go ahead, Melida Angel.
**[00:12] ---**
Okay!
**[00:14] ---**
When used effectively,
the Samurai Class with its superb agility,
**[00:18] ---**
can basically achieve a three-way deadlock
**[00:19] ---**
when facing the Fencer Class,
which excels in defense,
**[00:23] ---**
and the Gladiator Class,
with its superior strength.
**[00:26] ---**
On the other hand...
Lady Melida,
**[00:28] ---**
has been displaying remarkable growth.
**[00:35] ---**
To the point that it has far exceeded
my expectations, in fact.
**[00:46] ---**
Melida, this book was quite interesting,
**[00:49] ---**
so if you'd like I'll make an
exception and lend it to you.
**[00:51] ---**
Thank you!
**[00:52] ---**
In exchange, I'll lend you one of my books.
**[00:54] ---**
However...
**[00:56] ---**
The fact remains there are many
people who aren't pleased
**[00:58] ---**
about the rapid progress of the
"incompetent talented girl."
**[02:33] ---**
It is already nearly the
end of the school year.
**[02:33] ---**
Labyrinth Library
**[02:37] ---**
The day third-year students
leave this academy and head out
**[02:39] ---**
into the world is fast approaching.
**[02:42] ---**
However, there is a major event before that.
**[02:45] ---**
The Vibria Goat Librarian
Certification Exam is still to be held.
**[02:49] ---**
Hm?
**[02:52] ---**
What is "Vibria Goat"?
**[02:55] ---**
Hmm...
**[02:56] ---**
It's the general name for the
massive labyrinth that lies
**[02:59] ---**
within the central part of Flandore.
**[03:01] ---**
The place is best imagined
as a kind of library.
**[03:06] ---**
From books of ancient times -
when the sun and moon were still present -
**[03:10] ---**
to reproductions of letters
and confidential documents,
**[03:13] ---**
it contains all kinds of texts,
totaling more than several hundred million.
**[03:17] ---**
Amazing!
**[03:18] ---**
So the ones who examine and dig up
those texts are Vibria Goat librarians...
**[03:23] ---**
Is that right?
**[03:24] ---**
Exactly!
**[03:26] ---**
The certification exam is rather difficult,
and it's also dangerous.
**[03:29] ---**
Oh, really?
**[03:31] ---**
Rest easy.
**[03:33] ---**
Only second-year students
and up take the exam.
**[03:38] ---**
Melida, Elise.
**[03:41] ---**
Do you by chance feel like taking part
in this year's certification exam?
**[03:47] ---**
With all due respect, Headmistress...
**[03:49] ---**
The young ladies are still
first-year students...
**[03:53] ---**
The two of you were this year's cadets in the
Luna Lumiere Selection Tournament, though.
**[03:58] ---**
To convince all involved,
**[04:01] ---**
I want to prove that you two,
although first-year students,
**[04:04] ---**
were indeed worthy of being Luna cadets.
**[04:08] ---**
I am not concerned with
whether you pass the exam.
**[04:11] ---**
This year, if you'd be willing to just stroll
around the relatively risk-free first layer...
**[04:17] ---**
The opportunity for it came during the
Luna Lumiere Selection Tournament.
**[04:22] ---**
I examined the mana of all the students.
**[04:26] ---**
And, compared to Elise Angel, I determined
that the mana Melida Angel carries
**[04:33] ---**
is widely different.
**[04:36] ---**
This is a matter of grave concern.
**[04:39] ---**
Lady Melida Angel,
**[04:41] ---**
despite her lineage from a Knight-Duke House,
**[04:43] ---**
carries mana different
from that of a Paladin.
**[04:46] ---**
As for what that means...
**[04:49] ---**
The rumors were true!
**[04:51] ---**
That "incompetent talented girl" is not
a child of the House of Angel!
**[04:54] ---**
Her mother truly did have an affair!
**[04:56] ---**
How immoral!
**[04:58] ---**
I've had my suspicions
for quite some time now.
**[05:01] ---**
The House of Angel...
**[05:02] ---**
Nay! The entire nobility's prestige is
affected by this massive scandal!
**[05:10] ---**
I believe that the secret of
this "incompetent talented girl"
**[05:13] ---**
should be disclosed to all
the people of Flandore.
**[05:17] ---**
Right you are!
**[05:19] ---**
Indeed.
**[05:19] ---**
Such good judgment is to be expected of
Duke Serge Shicksal, Flandore's pride and hero!
**[05:28] ---**
I had a feeling you would
all be in agreement.
**[05:31] ---**
However, the question is how to bring it to light
in a manner such that
**[05:35] ---**
the masses are convinced.
**[05:38] ---**
I know a great way to do that.
**[05:40] ---**
We should produce a little show.
**[05:44] ---**
This calls for one of the
assets of Vibria Goat...
**[05:47] ---**
The magical text called "Anders' Codex."
**[05:50] ---**
In it we will chronicle in detail the events
in the area as they occur.
**[05:55] ---**
Using this book,
**[05:56] ---**
we shall make Melida Angel's
blunders known to the world.
**[06:00] ---**
That settles that.
**[06:02] ---**
For the sake of all the people of Flandore,
I shall become
**[06:06] ---**
the sword that brings about a revolution.
**[06:09] ---**
Now, this is the opening of the
supreme show that shall expose
**[06:13] ---**
the deceit that has grown
rampant in the House of Angel!
**[06:24] ---**
Is something the matter, Salacha?
**[06:26] ---**
Big Brother...
**[06:30] ---**
Is what you're doing really
what's best for Melida?
**[06:34] ---**
Listen here, Salacha.
**[06:36] ---**
This needs to be done by somebody.
**[06:39] ---**
Right now in Flandore,
**[06:41] ---**
there are many machinations swirling
around concerning Melida Angel.
**[06:45] ---**
In such a harsh environment,
**[06:47] ---**
making her continue to fight
on would not be to her benefit.
**[06:50] ---**
And so, we need to put
an end to that suffering.
**[06:57] ---**
You... might be right.
**[07:01] ---**
Oh, almost forgot.
**[07:03] ---**
Salacha, here's a good-luck charm for you.
**[07:05] ---**
What is it?
**[07:07] ---**
It's a bequest from someone who was said
**[07:09] ---**
to have previously been a
great librarian at Vibria Goat
**[07:12] ---**
that is called "Alternate Fountain Pen."
**[07:16] ---**
I'm sure it will lend you courage, Salacha.
**[07:18] ---**
Big brother...
**[07:23] ---**
Who the hell are you?!
**[07:25] ---**
Oh?
**[07:25] ---**
There's quite a fuss going on.
**[07:28] ---**
Hold up!
**[07:29] ---**
By no means I am the least bit suspicious!
**[07:32] ---**
I've simply come to see my daughter.
**[07:34] ---**
Your daughter?
**[07:35] ---**
Th-that's right!
**[07:37] ---**
I'm telling the truth!
**[07:38] ---**
Surely, she's around her somewhere...
**[07:41] ---**
Oh!
**[07:42] ---**
I found you!
**[07:43] ---**
I've been wanting to see you, Melida!
**[07:45] ---**
My daughter!
**[07:48] ---**
I thought that Lady Melida's
father was Sir Felgus?
**[07:51] ---**
Felgus!
**[07:53] ---**
That guy's a fiend!
**[07:54] ---**
He tore to shreds my and
Melida's close ties to each other
**[07:57] ---**
and stole away the fruit of the union I had!
**[08:01] ---**
Ah, Melida!
**[08:03] ---**
You must've endured such hardship!
**[08:06] ---**
Wh-who are you?
**[08:07] ---**
Pleased to meet you.
**[08:09] ---**
I'm your papa.
**[08:10] ---**
Now, let me get a better look at your face.
**[08:13] ---**
Stop it right there!
**[08:20] ---**
My daughter Melida!
**[08:21] ---**
I was happy to see you
for even just a moment!
**[08:23] ---**
But that violent boyfriend
of yours troubles me.
**[08:47] ---**
"On a night of the thirteenth month,
the false soldiers will come crawling out.
**[08:52] ---**
The golden fledgling is sought at the altar.
**[09:02] ---**
One cannot dance with only one shoe."
**[09:21] ---**
Ah!
**[09:23] ---**
I'm very sorry about that.
**[09:26] ---**
Instructor.
**[09:28] ---**
Were you thinking about what happened
at the academy this morning?
**[09:31] ---**
You could tell, huh?
**[09:34] ---**
The day I inspected your mana like this for
the first time we talked about it, right?
**[09:39] ---**
About how someone who starts unsavory
rumors about you will surely appear.
**[09:44] ---**
It appears someone's trying to impair
the dignity of the House of Angel.
**[09:49] ---**
I... believe that...
**[09:52] ---**
the man from this morning has no
connection to either me or my mother.
**[09:58] ---**
I'm of the same mind.
**[10:01] ---**
However, the enemy likely has
more tricks in store for you.
**[10:05] ---**
Instructor, is there anything I can do?!
**[10:14] ---**
Well then, let me give you an exam.
**[10:18] ---**
"An exam"?
**[10:19] ---**
I will have you take Vibria Goat Librarian
Certification Exam and pass it.
**[10:23] ---**
Huh?!
**[10:24] ---**
But isn't it supposed to be
really hard and dangerous?
**[10:28] ---**
It's the perfect stage to make them
recognize how ready you are.
**[10:33] ---**
Both the public and your enemies, I mean.
**[10:37] ---**
But if I'm unable to pass the exam,
what will happen then?
**[10:46] ---**
Instructor, will you...
**[10:48] ---**
end up leaving this mansion for good?
**[10:58] ---**
Let me see...
**[11:00] ---**
I will see that you receive punishment.
**[11:03] ---**
"P-punishment"?
**[11:06] ---**
What kind exactly?
**[11:08] ---**
That's a bit frightening.
**[11:10] ---**
That's a secret for now.
**[11:12] ---**
So you've got to try to push forward
without being scared, okay?
**[11:16] ---**
Jeez, you're being mean, Instructor.
**[11:21] ---**
So, if I do pass the exam,
**[11:24] ---**
will you at least give me a r-reward?
**[11:26] ---**
"A reward"?
**[11:28] ---**
Well, yes, uh...
**[11:31] ---**
I look forward to seeing just what selfish
request you're going to trouble me with.
**[11:44] ---**
Thank you for coming along with me, Elli.
**[11:46] ---**
Well, you are the leader of our unit, Lita.
**[11:49] ---**
I'm excited to go on a quest with you.
**[11:52] ---**
Let's definitely pass the exam, okay?!
**[11:55] ---**
Hey, you two.
**[11:57] ---**
Getting fired up is fine,
but don't overexert yourselves, okay?
**[12:00] ---**
Okay!
**[12:20] ---**
Right this way.
**[12:21] ---**
Well then, Instructor,
I'll do my best in there.
**[12:25] ---**
Take care, milady.
**[12:27] ---**
I'll be awaiting your return.
**[13:24] ---**
Now everyone.
**[13:25] ---**
You do get the general idea of
the certification exam, correct?
**[13:31] ---**
In accordance with the grade of your exam,
**[13:33] ---**
please proceed to the reading
room on the applicable layer,
**[13:36] ---**
obtain your proof of passing,
**[13:39] ---**
and safely return to the first layer
before the hourglass runs out.
**[13:44] ---**
Vibria Goat is prowled by the ghosts of
the librarians who formerly worked there,
**[13:50] ---**
and they keep a sharp eye out for intruders
who try to take books without permission.
**[13:55] ---**
The lower the layer one descends to,
the more powerful the ghosts become.
**[13:59] ---**
So, don't carelessly descend to lower lay-
**[14:04] ---**
What?!
**[14:04] ---**
What's going on?
**[14:06] ---**
Vibria Goat should still
be a bit farther down!
**[14:10] ---**
Are you alright?
**[14:17] ---**
Oh my!
**[14:28] ---**
You and Lady Melida sure seem to get on well.
**[14:31] ---**
Excuse me!
**[14:33] ---**
I-is the academy director around?
**[14:36] ---**
She left just a moment ago to
head to the certification exam.
**[14:40] ---**
What unfortunate timing!
**[14:42] ---**
Ah, I'm in a real jam now.
**[14:44] ---**
I can't keep our guest waiting...
**[14:47] ---**
Oh, that's it! Instructor Kufa!
**[14:49] ---**
Will you please attend to the guest?!
**[14:52] ---**
Huh?
**[14:53] ---**
I-if you're okay with me
doing it, then I don't mind.
**[14:56] ---**
Who is this guest, anyway?
**[14:58] ---**
Melida Angel's father, Duke Felgus Angel.
**[15:06] ---**
I'm sorry I failed to
introduce myself sooner.
**[15:10] ---**
I am Lady Melida's private
tutor, Kufa Vampir.
**[15:17] ---**
So, what's going on with Melida
and Academy Director Blancmange?
**[15:21] ---**
They are currently heading to take on the
Vibria Goat Librarian Certification Exam.
**[15:26] ---**
Despite being a first-year student
Melida is taking the exam?
**[15:30] ---**
Oh, I get it.
**[15:31] ---**
She's only nominally participating, eh?
**[15:35] ---**
With all due respect, Your Lordship,
**[15:37] ---**
in order to obtain a qualification
as a labyrinth librarian,
**[15:41] ---**
Lady Melida and her cousin Lady Elise
**[15:44] ---**
are currently earnestly
exploring Vibria Goat.
**[15:47] ---**
Melida has no need for a
labyrinth-librarian qualification.
**[15:52] ---**
Bring her back here at once.
**[15:53] ---**
"No need," you say?
**[15:57] ---**
This is a notice of Melida's
withdrawal from school.
**[16:01] ---**
At the end of the school year,
I will remove Melida from St. Friedeswiede
**[16:06] ---**
and take her back to our principal residence.
**[16:08] ---**
I thank you for your work up until today.
**[16:11] ---**
Please wait, Duke Felgus.
**[16:13] ---**
Why now choose to close off her path forward?
**[16:17] ---**
I have heard about the suspicious individual
who entered academy grounds yesterday.
**[16:22] ---**
It was my own mistake.
**[16:25] ---**
I knew that putting that
girl in public view would
**[16:28] ---**
give those with ill will
a chance to do us harm.
**[16:32] ---**
If you can at least wait one
more year, Your Lordship,
**[16:35] ---**
I'm confident I'll be able to report
results that are to your satisfa-
**[16:39] ---**
It seems you hold a very high
opinion of Melida's potential,
**[16:43] ---**
but isn't it the case the girl herself
doesn't accurately grasp her own ability?
**[16:51] ---**
I understand what you mean.
**[16:53] ---**
Currently, milady is still inexperienced.
**[16:56] ---**
However, I can sense the
unlimited potential in her.
**[17:02] ---**
I...
**[17:04] ---**
I am confident in this much.
**[17:06] ---**
No one in the world understands
Lady Melida better than I do.
**[17:15] ---**
Instructor Kufa! Instructor
Rosetti! This is serious!
**[17:17] ---**
Th-this was sent to the school office.
**[17:22] ---**
That is the emblem of...
**[17:24] ---**
Guild Grimfice.
**[17:27] ---**
Give it here!
**[17:31] ---**
What does it say on the back of the card?
**[17:33] ---**
"The fiends' hunger has peaked.
**[17:35] ---**
The books written in the young ladies'
blood will fill the boundless library."
**[17:42] ---**
The young ladies are in danger!
**[17:58] ---**
So... where are we?
**[18:01] ---**
Amazing...
**[18:02] ---**
This is the massive labyrinth, Vibria Goat.
**[18:06] ---**
Where're the older girls?!
**[18:07] ---**
And what about the academy director?!
**[18:09] ---**
Look at this!
**[18:13] ---**
You think maybe the certification
exam has already started?
**[18:17] ---**
I don't really get what
just happened, though.
**[18:21] ---**
Let's push forward, Lita.
**[18:28] ---**
I wonder what layer we're in...
**[18:30] ---**
If I recall,
**[18:31] ---**
the grade-six exam we're taking
should take place on level five.
**[18:36] ---**
It's not all that deep or danger-
**[18:48] ---**
Ghosts!
**[18:51] ---**
You alright, Elli?
**[18:52] ---**
If you can't handle it, I'll
take them both down myself.
**[18:55] ---**
I'm okay!
**[19:19] ---**
Don't be frightened and watch carefully.
**[19:22] ---**
Yes, although it's scary,
thoroughly analyze it!
**[19:28] ---**
This is fun!
**[19:36] ---**
Instructor's teachings, Instructor's movements,
Instructor's words...
**[19:48] ---**
All the aspects of Instructor
Kufa are propelling me now.
**[20:04] ---**
So long as Instructor is with
me, I can keep on going!
**[20:07] ---**
I can keep on fighting and fighting!
**[20:09] ---**
Instructor!
**[20:20] ---**
We won!
**[20:24] ---**
At this rate, we can do this!
**[20:25] ---**
Even if the academy director isn't around,
we can pass the exam.
**[20:28] ---**
Let's keep on pressing forward.
**[20:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:32] ---**
Huh?
**[20:33] ---**
What's wrong?
**[20:35] ---**
I can't believe it's in this kind of
shape after just one battle.
**[20:39] ---**
If instead of just two ghosts,
four were to appear at the same time...
**[20:45] ---**
I-it's no use imagining
bad scenarios, right?!
**[20:48] ---**
G-good point.
**[21:04] ---**
Y-you've gotta be kidding.
**[21:17] ---**
Once Upon a Time!
**[21:37] ---**
Wh-what was that?
**[21:51] ---**
Mule... Salacha...
**[21:55] ---**
I feel like it's been quite a while.
**[21:58] ---**
I'm sure you were dying
to see me again, right?
**[23:36] ---**

**[00:01] ---**
Is it true that they're
targeting the exam takers?
**[00:05] ---**
Yes.
**[00:06] ---**
However, there's no need to worry.
**[00:08] ---**
I will bring all of them back without fail.
**[00:10] ---**
Are you really going on your own?
**[00:12] ---**
Yeah.
**[00:13] ---**
If anything unexpected should happen back here,
I'm counting on you, Rosetti.
**[00:16] ---**
Got it.
**[00:17] ---**
Please, be careful.
**[00:19] ---**
Okay.
**[01:51] ---**
So, Mule, are you two also here for
the labyrinth-librarian certification exam?
**[01:51] ---**
Messengers of Death
**[01:55] ---**
That's right.
**[01:56] ---**
We might as well all take
the test together, right?
**[02:00] ---**
Is that kind of thing okay?
**[02:03] ---**
Sure it is!
**[02:04] ---**
Besides, it's their fault for tossing us first-year
students in here without a guide.
**[02:09] ---**
I would hope they'd at least be okay with
little birdies like us supporting each other.
**[02:13] ---**
Sala, you think it's a
good idea too, don't you?
**[02:16] ---**
Uh, I-I...
**[02:20] ---**
It's settled, then!
**[02:22] ---**
This is the first joint quest with the four daughters
of the three big Knight-Duke Houses!
**[02:26] ---**
Wh-when you put it that way,
this is actually pretty exciting.
**[02:30] ---**
Right, Elli?
**[02:31] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:33] ---**
Hold on a second.
**[02:35] ---**
I'm going to check the map.
**[02:37] ---**
Once Upon a Time!
**[02:42] ---**
Seems we're in the second layer.
**[02:45] ---**
The exam is on the fifth layer,
so let's take the stairs.
**[02:48] ---**
Wh-what's that book?!
**[02:51] ---**
"Maeterlinck's Survey Map."
**[02:53] ---**
It's a magical text that,
when used inside Vibria Goat,
**[02:56] ---**
informs you of your current location
and displays a layer map.
**[02:59] ---**
"A magical text"?
**[03:00] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:01] ---**
It's one of the assets of Vibria Goat.
**[03:04] ---**
But there's a limit to how many times it can be used,
so we can't use it excessively.
**[03:08] ---**
It's no fair that you have a map.
**[03:10] ---**
I'd say it's far more unreasonable to order us to
**[03:13] ---**
explore this sprawling labyrinth without a map.
**[03:15] ---**
Since we're all gathered here,
I'll fill you in on some stuff.
**[03:19] ---**
In order to bewilder looters,
this place is full of tricks.
**[03:23] ---**
One of them is the magical texts.
**[03:26] ---**
Try reading this book.
**[03:27] ---**
O-okay...
**[03:30] ---**
Wh-what's with these letters?!
**[03:34] ---**
Unless you hold the corresponding
grade of librarian qualification,
**[03:37] ---**
you can't tell what effect
a magical text will exhibit.
**[03:40] ---**
You can still use them, though.
**[03:43] ---**
You sure know a lot about this.
**[03:44] ---**
Even though this should be your
first time taking the exam...
**[03:47] ---**
Well, Miu comes from a family
of Vibria Goat researchers.
**[03:51] ---**
The la Mores are a family of scholars
**[03:52] ---**
who have maintained a research room
in Vibria Goat for generations.
**[03:57] ---**
This really is unfair.
**[03:59] ---**
O-oh dear.
**[04:00] ---**
I don't believe there was any rule
prohibiting bringing things with you.
**[04:03] ---**
Leaving that aside,
**[04:04] ---**
we need to try out the
effect of the magical text.
**[04:07] ---**
Even though we don't know
what effect it will produce?
**[04:11] ---**
That's all the more reason we
need to test it and see, right?
**[04:14] ---**
The incantation is "Once Upon a Time."
**[04:18] ---**
I have butterflies in my stomach.
**[04:21] ---**
"Once Upon a Time"!
**[04:25] ---**
Wh-what's going on?!
**[04:26] ---**
Dear me.
**[04:27] ---**
L-Lita, where are you?
**[04:28] ---**
I feel a cold draft for some reason?!
**[04:32] ---**
My outfit changed?!
**[04:34] ---**
When did that happen?!
**[04:36] ---**
That magical text was "Diva's
Collection of Poems."
**[04:40] ---**
It has magic that can infuse the power
of characters from old tales into you.
**[04:44] ---**
Melida, seems you're "Cinderella."
**[04:48] ---**
As for the effect, you'll receive all kinds of
divine protection until the time limit is up.
**[04:53] ---**
I think that was it, anyway.
**[04:54] ---**
That's nice and all...
**[04:56] ---**
but it's hard to walk!
**[04:58] ---**
Well, what about me?
**[05:00] ---**
Elli, you're so cute!
**[05:02] ---**
Elise, seems you've been
given the role of "Ruby."
**[05:04] ---**
As for the effect, the wildness
of the wolf resides in you.
**[05:09] ---**
Lita, you taste great!
**[05:11] ---**
That tickles!
**[05:13] ---**
Jeez, you sure are flaunting it.
**[05:15] ---**
Mule, what role were you given?
**[05:17] ---**
Seems to be "Abracadabra," doesn't it?
**[05:19] ---**
I can use the genie's power
a total of three times.
**[05:22] ---**
Miu...
**[05:25] ---**
W-wow!
**[05:27] ---**
"The Little Mermaid" is a
very rare role to receive!
**[05:30] ---**
I can't stand up!
**[05:34] ---**
Salacha's a first-year
student like us, isn't she?
**[05:37] ---**
Yeah... That's the fruit of betrayal...
**[05:40] ---**
The forbidden fruit that rips
apart the ties between us.
**[05:43] ---**
I wanna touch them.
**[05:44] ---**
Huh? What?!
**[05:46] ---**
Actually, that's my exclusive right,
but I'll make an exception and let you.
**[05:51] ---**
Now, enjoy them to your heart's content!
**[05:54] ---**
Y-you can't just give them permission!
**[05:56] ---**
Er, eek!
**[05:58] ---**
Wow, they're wrapping around my fingers!
**[06:01] ---**
They're springy and soft.
**[06:03] ---**
Just like pancakes!
**[06:05] ---**
That's quite enough already!
**[06:10] ---**
We changed back.
**[06:11] ---**
Ah, that's too bad.
**[06:13] ---**
Magic has a time limit to it, you see.
**[06:15] ---**
That goes for the exam, too.
**[06:17] ---**
Oh, that's right! We need to hurry!
**[06:19] ---**
I wanna head home already.
**[06:22] ---**
Oh dear, you can't just yet.
**[06:23] ---**
After all, the best is yet to come.
**[06:33] ---**
That's where the exam's held!
**[06:39] ---**
Wh-what's that?!
**[06:41] ---**
It says, "Will you take the exam"?
**[06:43] ---**
Y-yes.
**[06:47] ---**
The exam starts now.
**[06:49] ---**
It entails the "mending" and
"orderly arrangement" of the books.
**[06:52] ---**
"Mending" and "proper arrangement"?
**[06:54] ---**
Maintaining the books with care is
one of the jobs of the librarians.
**[06:58] ---**
So we just have to tidy up those books, huh?!
**[07:05] ---**
Wh-what's that thing?!
**[07:07] ---**
A demon that eats through
books called a "bore imp."
**[07:09] ---**
If we eradicate that thing, the books will be
"mended" back to their original condition!
**[07:13] ---**
Leave the "mending" to me!
**[07:15] ---**
Everyone else, take care of
the books' "proper arrangement"!
**[07:18] ---**
Got it!
**[07:25] ---**
I did it!
**[07:36] ---**
Girls, let's get these books tidied up.
**[07:39] ---**
I'll handle those little guys!
**[07:45] ---**
Wh-what's with that?!
**[07:46] ---**
Mule, what's going on?
**[07:48] ---**
I-I don't know!
**[07:50] ---**
My mother never said anything about th-
**[07:55] ---**
I got one in over here.
**[07:59] ---**
I get it!
**[08:00] ---**
This is a puzzle!
**[08:03] ---**
"A puzzle"?!
**[08:04] ---**
I'm going to try to decipher
it, so buy me some time!
**[08:07] ---**
These books are written
using just 25 symbols.
**[08:11] ---**
The meaning of the content is unclear,
**[08:13] ---**
but all the combinations that can be
expressed with the 25 symbols are present.
**[08:18] ---**
If we consider that no two
books here are identical,
**[08:22] ---**
then there's a book in here somewhere that's
the same as this besides a single character.
**[08:27] ---**
Supposing that is the case,
**[08:29] ---**
the writing in one book should clarify
the position of another book, so...
**[08:35] ---**
I've deciphered it!
**[08:37] ---**
Give me a hand!
**[08:38] ---**
Fourth bookcase, second shelf!
**[08:40] ---**
Got it.
**[08:41] ---**
Elise, second bookcase, fifth shelf!
**[08:43] ---**
Okay.
**[08:45] ---**
Hey!
**[08:46] ---**
Third bookcase, third shelf!
**[08:48] ---**
Sixth bookcase, seventh shelf!
**[09:02] ---**
Over there!
**[09:05] ---**
That's the final one!
**[09:08] ---**
Melida!
**[09:09] ---**
Got it!
**[09:18] ---**
Melida!
**[09:23] ---**
Lita!
**[09:41] ---**
Thank you, Salacha.
**[09:43] ---**
We did it!
**[09:44] ---**
We sure did, Melida.
**[09:46] ---**
We passed the exam!
**[09:47] ---**
Lita!
**[09:48] ---**
I did my best, you know.
**[09:50] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:50] ---**
We all gave it our all!
**[09:52] ---**
We scored a major victory!
**[09:57] ---**
What in the world...
**[10:00] ---**
is that?
**[10:03] ---**
This is...
**[10:05] ---**
...our proof of passing.
**[10:07] ---**
Now we just need to get back.
**[10:08] ---**
Yeah!
**[10:09] ---**
Oh, right.
**[10:10] ---**
What about the time limit?!
**[10:12] ---**
We're fine.
**[10:13] ---**
We have plenty of time left.
**[10:15] ---**
That's a relief.
**[10:16] ---**
Let's hurry on back!
**[10:18] ---**
Melida, you two were actually
serious about passing, huh?
**[10:22] ---**
Considering it's a difficult exam for
first-year students, why exactly?
**[10:26] ---**
Well, uh...
**[10:27] ---**
Mule, doesn't the same go for you two?
**[10:29] ---**
Well, you know, we are top
students at St. d'Autriche.
**[10:38] ---**
To be honest,
**[10:40] ---**
I want to be acknowledged as
a child of the House of Angel.
**[10:43] ---**
By everyone at the academy.
**[10:44] ---**
My father.
**[10:45] ---**
And also people around town.
**[10:47] ---**
And because of that my instructor
gave me an assignment.
**[10:50] ---**
Ah, I see.
**[10:51] ---**
So this was an order from that
cool instructor of yours.
**[10:55] ---**
But, while it may be true you passed,
**[10:57] ---**
does that actually act as proof you're
a child of the House of Angel?
**[11:06] ---**
Oh my, I'm sorry.
**[11:08] ---**
I'll escort you back to the academy.
**[11:10] ---**
I know a shortcut.
**[11:12] ---**
Let's go, Lita.
**[11:14] ---**
O-okay.
**[11:21] ---**
S-Salacha?!
**[11:23] ---**
I-I'm sorry.
**[11:25] ---**
But...
**[11:27] ---**
My, my.
**[11:29] ---**
Sala, aren't you carrying
your mischief a bit too far?
**[11:34] ---**
Give the book back to her.
**[11:37] ---**
It belongs to Melida.
**[11:42] ---**
This exam is a trap!
**[11:49] ---**
Shenfa!
**[11:54] ---**
Headmistress!
**[11:56] ---**
Miss Zwitoque.
**[11:57] ---**
So, everyone here is safe, then?
**[11:59] ---**
Headmistress!
**[12:00] ---**
There's nothing to fear now.
**[12:03] ---**
Please tell me...
**[12:05] ---**
What in the world happened to us?
**[12:08] ---**
That vegetation that suddenly
covered the entire elevator...
**[12:11] ---**
It was an illusion brought about by the
magical text "Perona's Trompe L'oeil."
**[12:16] ---**
"Magical text"?
**[12:17] ---**
Yes.
**[12:18] ---**
And due to its effect we got carried
deep within the labyrinth.
**[12:22] ---**
Why did such a thing happen?
**[12:24] ---**
Let's save an investigation
into the details for later.
**[12:28] ---**
For now, we should just get everyone
safely back to St. Friedeswiede.
**[12:33] ---**
I don't see the first-year students anywhere.
**[12:35] ---**
Indeed.
**[12:36] ---**
We need to alert the academy of
this freak incident and call in help.
**[12:40] ---**
Not a single soul here will
be able to return home.
**[12:45] ---**
Were you the ones who set
that trap in the elevator?
**[12:49] ---**
What in the world are you up to?
**[12:52] ---**
Oh, dear.
**[12:52] ---**
I have no idea what you're talking about.
**[12:56] ---**
Don't play dumb!
**[12:57] ---**
I'll handle one of them.
**[12:59] ---**
Keep your wits about you, Miss Zwitoque.
**[13:02] ---**
Got it!
**[13:22] ---**
So you finally show yourself.
**[13:26] ---**
I'm glad to meet you,
Academy Director Charlotte Blancmange.
**[13:31] ---**
Crodoll is my name.
**[13:34] ---**
An apostle of Guild Grimfice,
an eminently-sinister militant organization,
**[13:39] ---**
I am an artificial lancanthrope who indulges
his reputation as a necromancer.
**[13:45] ---**
"Guild Grimfice"!
**[13:47] ---**
Why are you targeting my school's students?
**[13:50] ---**
Dead men tell no tales, Headmistress.
**[14:06] ---**
Here you are!
**[14:12] ---**
NOO!
**[14:18] ---**
Having to protect them is onerous, isn't it?
**[14:24] ---**
There are some things I will
risk my life to protect.
**[14:27] ---**
And that is a point of pride for me!
**[14:30] ---**
I won't let the likes of
you lay a finger on them!
**[14:40] ---**
Headmistress!
**[14:47] ---**
Damn you...!
**[15:22] ---**
Headmistress!
**[15:26] ---**
Please... take care of the students.
**[15:30] ---**
Please forgive us, Headmistress!
**[15:33] ---**
We were the ones who read from
"Perona's Trompe L'oeil" on the elevator.
**[15:38] ---**
Why would you do such a thing?!
**[15:41] ---**
M-my father ordered us to!
**[15:44] ---**
We never thought that things
would turn out like this!
**[15:53] ---**
N-no way!
**[15:55] ---**
This is my secret art of discarding the flesh
and coming back as the Undead King.
**[16:03] ---**
Now, my ghosts, hurry and
assemble before your king!
**[16:06] ---**
Tear to pieces anything that exhibits life!
**[16:14] ---**
"A trap"?
**[16:15] ---**
What do you mean by that?
**[16:16] ---**
Lita, it wasn't the grade-six
exam that we passed.
**[16:21] ---**
It was one higher - grade-five!
**[16:23] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:25] ---**
Why did you deceive us?
**[16:31] ---**
What's that?!
**[16:34] ---**
Miu!
**[16:39] ---**
"Melida Angel.
**[16:41] ---**
Class:
**[16:44] ---**
Samurai."
**[16:48] ---**
I have to inform the older brother
of the Shicksal family of this.
**[16:56] ---**
Lita, we've gotta catch her!
**[16:59] ---**
Yeah...
**[17:09] ---**
Everyone, run!
**[17:13] ---**
The gate to St. Friedeswiede!
**[17:18] ---**
Go now! Smash them to bits!
**[17:30] ---**
I... can't take on a force of
this size in my human form.
**[17:34] ---**
Instructor Kufa!
**[17:45] ---**
Why?!
**[17:46] ---**
I'd no longer be able to be by her side...
**[17:48] ---**
That alone is enough to cause this?!
**[18:00] ---**
So you managed to make
it in time, Williams Gin.
**[18:02] ---**
Just barely, it seems.
**[18:09] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[18:12] ---**
It's futile.
**[18:13] ---**
My bandages suppress super-human abilities.
**[18:16] ---**
Bastard!
**[18:17] ---**
You're a traitor, Gin!
**[18:19] ---**
You'll pay dearly for this!
**[18:21] ---**
My name is "Williams."
**[18:34] ---**
I didn't think you would actually come.
**[18:36] ---**
You have my thanks.
**[18:37] ---**
Well, as they say, "One can't
dance with only one shoe."
**[18:41] ---**
Besides, if you go away,
my plan will be ruined.
**[18:46] ---**
Instructor Kufa, who is that man?
**[18:48] ---**
Isn't he a lancanthrope?!
**[18:54] ---**
None of that matters.
**[18:57] ---**
We owe our lives to this man.
**[18:59] ---**
On behalf of us all,
**[19:01] ---**
allow me to offer you our heartfelt thanks,
**[19:03] ---**
Sir Bandage Knight.
**[19:07] ---**
It was nothing special.
**[19:14] ---**
I'm glad we averted that crisis,
**[19:17] ---**
but there might still be
in real trouble back there.
**[19:19] ---**
What do you mean?
**[19:21] ---**
Guild Grimfice invaded the academy.
**[19:24] ---**
The criminal threat was sent for the
purpose of keeping you away from there.
**[19:30] ---**
This time their target isn't Melida.
**[19:33] ---**
Their actual target is...
**[19:35] ---**
...the lives of all the academy's students.
**[19:39] ---**
Before the matter involving her
imposter father is made public,
**[19:41] ---**
they're attempting to silence
all of the eyewitnesses.
**[19:46] ---**
It would seem leaving those
girls behind was the right call.
**[20:02] ---**
Instructor Kufa...
**[20:04] ---**
Put your minds at ease.
**[20:05] ---**
I'll bring the other
young ladies back safely.
**[20:08] ---**
Oh, there you are!
**[20:10] ---**
Hi there.
**[20:12] ---**
You must be Williams Gin.
**[20:14] ---**
I hear you wish to join our guild?
**[20:16] ---**
No, I hope to exchange information.
**[20:19] ---**
Oh...
**[20:20] ---**
And what is it you want to know?
**[20:22] ---**
If you'll share the results of your research on how
to turn a lancanthrope back into a human,
**[20:28] ---**
I'll act as a spy and regularly provide
you with intel on criminal activity.
**[20:33] ---**
Whaddaya say?
**[20:34] ---**
Am I right in thinking you'd
like to return to being human?
**[20:37] ---**
Your question is beside the point.
**[20:39] ---**
Give me a "yes" or "no."
**[20:41] ---**
Let's wait and see.
**[20:43] ---**
I'll judge whether you're useful to me based
on your performance going forward.
**[20:47] ---**
Okay?
**[20:48] ---**
Yeah, that'll do for now.
**[20:51] ---**
So, what brings you here, anyway?
**[20:53] ---**
We received some information from Duke la More,
who administers this place.
**[20:58] ---**
He said that unexpected movement was observed
at two of the gates that lead into Vibria Goat.
**[21:04] ---**
One of them is the gate managed by the
Mordrew Arms Association of Commerce.
**[21:08] ---**
The other's the gate managed by the Shicksals,
one of the three big Knight-Duke Houses.
**[21:12] ---**
That gate is on the 18th layer.
**[21:15] ---**
As far as investing the matter, Kufa,
**[21:18] ---**
you're the right man for the job.
**[21:20] ---**
Alright.
**[21:23] ---**
Got you!
**[21:25] ---**
Give it to me straight, Mule!
**[21:26] ---**
I thought we had become friends?!
**[21:29] ---**
Why're are you doing this?!
**[21:33] ---**
Because I like you, Melida.
**[21:37] ---**
Once Upon a Time.
**[21:42] ---**
Run away, Melida!
**[21:43] ---**
Lita!
**[21:47] ---**
What is it that the House
of Shicksal is after?
**[21:49] ---**
Milady's secret?
**[21:51] ---**
Her life?
**[21:53] ---**
If the time comes when
milady's life is taken...
**[22:02] ---**
That is a job for me alone!
**[23:35] ---**

**[00:06] ---**
Ah, that much-talked-about...
**[00:10] ---**
You're telling me to disgrace myself?
**[00:13] ---**
You best just give up.
**[00:17] ---**
"Incompetent talented girl."
**[00:43] ---**
Perhaps they've gotten lost.
**[00:59] ---**
Where am I...?
**[01:02] ---**
My outfit has changed yet again.
**[01:05] ---**
Welcome to "Walter's Illusory Tale."
**[01:08] ---**
Mule!
**[01:09] ---**
Can you keep quiet and behave yourself?
**[01:12] ---**
It's about to begin.
**[01:14] ---**
"Begin"?
**[01:18] ---**
Lita...
**[01:20] ---**
Elli!
**[01:24] ---**
Quiet, please.
**[01:33] ---**
What is all this?
**[01:35] ---**
Welcome to the Queen of Hearts' court.
**[01:38] ---**
I presume you're Melida
Angel, the girl in question.
**[01:43] ---**
Yes, "Big Brother."
**[01:45] ---**
That is without question the daughter
of the head House of Angel.
**[01:49] ---**
Very good!
**[01:51] ---**
Then, let the trial now begin.
**[01:56] ---**
Pride of an Assassin-Instructor
**[02:03] ---**
"Trial"?
**[02:07] ---**
That man is the judge as well as the
ringleader behind this conspiracy.
**[02:12] ---**
It was under his instruction that I lead
you and the others here, Melida.
**[02:19] ---**
I see...
**[02:21] ---**
I don't know who you are
or where you come from,
**[02:24] ---**
but I won't bow my head to a king
**[02:26] ---**
who hides his face with a mask and
is unwilling to reveal his lineage.
**[02:31] ---**
We're still in the middle of our certification exam,
so I'll be going now.
**[02:36] ---**
You cannot flee,
imposter daughter of the House of Angel.
**[02:41] ---**
Clerk, please prepare to start recording.
**[02:45] ---**
Once Upon a Time.
**[02:48] ---**
"Anders' Codex" here is
a magical text that will
**[02:52] ---**
accurately chronicle all
the events as they unfold.
**[02:54] ---**
So you best be careful about your
choice of words of here.
**[02:59] ---**
Otherwise you'll end up delighting the public
with a Knight-Duke House-related scandal.
**[03:06] ---**
There is a single charge against you.
**[03:09] ---**
The defendant, Melida Angel, in spite of having
no qualification to be in a Knight-Duke House,
**[03:15] ---**
is suspected of laying claim
to the Angel family name
**[03:17] ---**
and deceiving the people of Flandore
over the course of 13 years.
**[03:22] ---**
You damn "incompetent talented girl"!
**[03:24] ---**
Such a thing is unforgivable!
**[03:26] ---**
Precisely!
**[03:28] ---**
However, the time to shed light on
her crimes has finally come.
**[03:33] ---**
The man who says he is her true father
has appeared and taken center stage.
**[03:39] ---**
And furthermore...
**[03:42] ---**
We have here proof that the
defendant's lineage is improper.
**[03:45] ---**
That's my...
**[03:47] ---**
"Name: Melida Angel."
**[03:50] ---**
Her Class is...
**[03:52] ---**
Oh my...
**[03:55] ---**
"Samurai."
**[03:57] ---**
I knew it!
**[03:58] ---**
So, that girl really is...
**[04:00] ---**
While it may be true my Class is Samurai,
**[04:03] ---**
that's not evidence that I'm
not my father's daughter.
**[04:07] ---**
My instructor taught me that.
**[04:10] ---**
Even when one is born
into a Knight-Duke House,
**[04:12] ---**
there are cases in which they
don't inherit a higher-ranked Class!
**[04:15] ---**
You are indeed correct.
**[04:18] ---**
However, there is something I just
can't wrap my head around.
**[04:21] ---**
Why is it that you were an "incompetent talented girl"
who didn't have any mana?
**[04:26] ---**
And why only now at the age of 13 did
your mana suddenly awaken?
**[04:31] ---**
Th-that's because...
**[04:34] ---**
That's because what?!
**[04:35] ---**
Why did your mana manifest all of a sudden?!
**[04:38] ---**
If anyone finds out about what happened...
**[04:41] ---**
See! She can't offer a reply!
**[04:42] ---**
She has a guilty conscience, after all!
**[04:45] ---**
Th-that's not true!
**[04:47] ---**
Sure about that?!
**[04:48] ---**
Deep down even you know, don't you?
**[04:51] ---**
That, having been labeled an
"incompetent talented girl,"
**[04:53] ---**
you're unworthy of being
part of a Knight-Duke House!
**[04:56] ---**
It's clear as day now!
**[04:57] ---**
Melida Angel's father is not Duke Felgus!
**[05:01] ---**
This is absolutely unbearable!
**[05:03] ---**
When the two of them married,
**[05:05] ---**
Duke Felgus had people from all
quarters running him ragged.
**[05:08] ---**
What a little hussy she was
to betray that devotion!
**[05:12] ---**
Sure enough, shouldn't the
vulgar commoners be expelled to
**[05:15] ---**
the lower-social-stratum living quarters
**[05:17] ---**
and Flandore kept as the
domain of us nobles alone?!
**[05:21] ---**
Shut up...
**[05:23] ---**
SHUT UP!
**[05:26] ---**
Don't you speak ill of my mother and father!
**[05:29] ---**
I remember it all.
**[05:31] ---**
My mother sincerely loved me and my father!
**[05:35] ---**
I refuse to believe I'm
the product of an affair!
**[05:38] ---**
Then, why is your mana-
**[05:39] ---**
I will prove that to you!
**[05:42] ---**
I'll get more and more
powerful, join Crest Legion,
**[05:46] ---**
become the kind of child of the
House of Angel who's acknowledged
**[05:48] ---**
by people all over the country,
**[05:50] ---**
and attest to the love that
my mother and father shared!
**[05:54] ---**
Lita...
**[05:56] ---**
I will absolutely not give in!
**[06:00] ---**
I'll be damned if I lose to you all!
**[06:10] ---**
Then you should prove it to us.
**[06:13] ---**
Let's see whether you're truly a match for
someone from a Knight-Duke House.
**[06:21] ---**
Salacha...?
**[06:23] ---**
Go now, my loyal knight Jack!
**[06:26] ---**
Expose the deception that has grown
rampant in the House of Angel!
**[06:30] ---**
If possible, I wanted to put a stop
to this before it went this far...
**[06:36] ---**
Wait!
**[06:37] ---**
Cut it out, Salacha!
**[06:39] ---**
Lita!
**[06:42] ---**
Thanks!
**[06:46] ---**
Now that it's come to this,
I'm left with no choice.
**[06:49] ---**
At best I can end this
quickly by my own hand.
**[06:53] ---**
I can at least take pride in that!
**[06:59] ---**
Lita!
**[07:01] ---**
Please don't put up a struggle.
**[07:03] ---**
I have no desire to see your blood.
**[07:06] ---**
How very kind of you.
**[07:08] ---**
But you best not underestimate
the Samurai Class!
**[07:21] ---**
The Dragoon ability of flight...
**[07:25] ---**
Springily Rain!
**[07:28] ---**
Lita!
**[07:31] ---**
She seems to be trying her best, at least.
**[07:33] ---**
Too bad Melida doesn't have a
chance in a million of winning.
**[07:37] ---**
I mean, right from the beginning she's getting
pinned down by Sala, a Dragoon Class.
**[07:44] ---**
She's not a Paladin Class,
and if moreover she suffers an overwhelming defeat
**[07:49] ---**
to a fellow daughter of a
Knight-Duke House who's her same age,
**[07:51] ---**
there will be no one left who believes she's
descended from the House of Angel.
**[07:56] ---**
You reek of lies.
**[08:00] ---**
Lita boasted about you to me.
**[08:02] ---**
She said she had gotten to
know a really pretty girl.
**[08:06] ---**
She said she felt like you might
become a special kind of friend.
**[08:09] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[08:11] ---**
But, I bet she hates me now.
**[08:13] ---**
That's your real intention.
**[08:17] ---**
So long as she has a friend like you by her side,
I'm sure Melida will be fine.
**[08:22] ---**
You really like Lita, don't you?
**[08:26] ---**
If you think of Lita and look down on her,
**[08:29] ---**
I will stand behind her and support her.
**[08:32] ---**
I take pride in that!
**[08:37] ---**
She's dominating.
**[08:39] ---**
Take a look at that!
**[08:40] ---**
How unsightly it is to be unable to
do anything more than run away!
**[08:44] ---**
Those with addled eyes see that
and think she's dominating?
**[08:49] ---**
Just who the hell is he?
**[08:51] ---**
That man who trains her...
**[08:57] ---**
No, Salacha!
**[09:04] ---**
No more taking refuge in the sky!
**[09:09] ---**
Sala!
**[09:11] ---**
Lady Salacha lost?!
**[09:15] ---**
Now, you all listen to me!
**[09:20] ---**
I take pride in being Samurai Class!
**[09:24] ---**
It is because I'm a Samurai that
I was able to pick myself up,
**[09:27] ---**
and it's because there's
someone I want to catch up
**[09:29] ---**
with that I can find the
courage to push forward.
**[09:32] ---**
Staying true to myself,
**[09:34] ---**
I'll get everyone to accept me just as I am.
**[09:39] ---**
I am a Paladin of the House of Angel!
**[09:48] ---**
U-uh, If... by any chance at all...
**[09:52] ---**
Lady Melida truly is the
daughter of Duke Felgus
**[09:55] ---**
and the late awakening of her mana and
difference in Class was simply bad luck...
**[10:00] ---**
Wouldn't it mean we've done
something extremely treasonous?
**[10:06] ---**
Once she's backed into a corner,
she's of no use at all.
**[10:10] ---**
I suppose I'll make it as
if this never happened.
**[10:23] ---**
Is that...?!
**[10:37] ---**
Melida!
**[10:42] ---**
What's that?!
**[10:44] ---**
An "Alternate Fountain Pen"!
**[10:46] ---**
It's a super-rare non-standard item that
can rewrite the effects of magical texts!
**[10:50] ---**
What's Sala doing with something like that?!
**[11:04] ---**
What should we be doing now?!
**[11:06] ---**
We're mana users, you know!
**[11:12] ---**
Melida is absolutely right.
**[11:15] ---**
Playtime is over now.
**[11:18] ---**
Okay!
**[11:22] ---**
Everyone in the gallery, this is the way out!
**[11:25] ---**
Hurry, everybody!
**[11:26] ---**
Get on the other side of the door!
**[11:32] ---**
Mrs. Othello?
**[11:33] ---**
Uh, I-I...
**[11:37] ---**
Please quickly take refuge.
**[11:39] ---**
Elli will be troubled if you don't
return home to the mansion.
**[11:53] ---**
Quickly, now! We need to go, too!
**[11:58] ---**
Come, come...
**[12:00] ---**
beautiful princesses!
**[12:10] ---**
Isn't it about time for the
finale of this fairy tale?
**[12:14] ---**
You're...!
**[12:17] ---**
My current role is not as "Melida
Angel's imposter father."
**[12:22] ---**
It is as "complete unadulterated evil."
**[12:25] ---**
Sure enough, you are an imposter!
**[12:26] ---**
How dare you torment Lita like you did!
**[12:35] ---**
It's eroding it?
**[12:37] ---**
It's time to put an end to this!
**[12:39] ---**
Elli!
**[12:45] ---**
Lita...
**[12:47] ---**
Elli, I'll protect you.
**[12:50] ---**
Now let me hear...
**[12:52] ---**
the despair-filled shriek of a young lady!
**[13:05] ---**
Instructor...
**[13:08] ---**
Sorry I took so long, Lady Melida.
**[13:11] ---**
Leave the rest to me.
**[13:17] ---**
No, Instructor.
**[13:19] ---**
I am also going to protect everyone!
**[13:24] ---**
That's the kind of thing
that makes you my pupil.
**[13:32] ---**
Let's do this, milady!
**[13:34] ---**
Okay!
**[13:36] ---**
I suspected that you would come,
**[13:39] ---**
private tutor of Melida Angel.
**[13:43] ---**
As if I care.
**[13:45] ---**
Now, scram.
**[13:56] ---**
When did you...?!
**[14:08] ---**
Too slow.
**[14:09] ---**
It's taking you three seconds
to unleash your mana.
**[14:11] ---**
Understood.
**[14:15] ---**
What's a bastard like you gonna-
**[14:17] ---**
Don't make light of the Samurai Class.
**[14:44] ---**
Thousand Blade: Brilliant Severing-Petal!
**[15:09] ---**
Instructor!
**[15:45] ---**
Miu...
**[15:47] ---**
Oh my, how careless of me.
**[15:53] ---**
Those two are so passionate
they couldn't resist.
**[16:05] ---**
Damn it! Ouch! It hurts!
**[16:08] ---**
Stop making a fuss and being so unseemly.
**[16:11] ---**
Duke!
**[16:12] ---**
Though it happened within a tale,
you suffered death, so you bet it hurts.
**[16:19] ---**
Save me, Duke!
**[16:23] ---**
I get it.
**[16:26] ---**
Thank you for your service.
**[16:31] ---**
Why...?
**[16:33] ---**
I thought I'd give you one
last role to play, you see.
**[16:42] ---**
The unforeseen ability and determination
of the "incompetent talented girl"...
**[16:45] ---**
The skill of her private tutor
and his hidden background...
**[16:50] ---**
It would seem there is still
much that I have to do.
**[16:56] ---**
Lady Elise!
**[16:59] ---**
Instructor Rose!
**[17:00] ---**
I was so worried!
**[17:02] ---**
Any injuries? You okay?
**[17:05] ---**
I'm alright.
**[17:06] ---**
Welcome back, Instructor Kufa, Melida.
**[17:10] ---**
I'm so very glad you're safe.
**[17:12] ---**
I'm sorry to have worried you.
**[17:14] ---**
Melida, you did a great job, too.
**[17:16] ---**
Thanks!
**[17:17] ---**
Truly.
**[17:32] ---**
In the following days, a number of people
claiming to be Lady Melida's true father
**[17:37] ---**
wrote in to the various newspapers.
**[17:40] ---**
Regarding the incident that had secretly
shaken the Cardinals' Scholarship District...
**[17:45] ---**
The matter was resolved by
Knight-Duke Serge Shicksal,
**[17:49] ---**
who had moved forward with
an independent investigation.
**[17:53] ---**
The culprit behind the incident was a
member of Crest Legion named Bijou Niese.
**[17:59] ---**
The young elite knight is considered
to have perpetrated the act of violence
**[18:03] ---**
due to harboring doubts about
the current state of the nation.
**[18:07] ---**
But he has gone into hiding and the
truth of the matter remains in the dark.
**[18:12] ---**
To deal with the aftermath of this crime
unprecedented in the history of Crest Legion,
**[18:16] ---**
the commander of the unit, Duke Felgus Angel,
is briefly staying with Lady Melida.
**[18:27] ---**
Come on, get back up.
**[18:29] ---**
Thanks.
**[18:31] ---**
Lita?
**[18:35] ---**
Now, now...
**[18:47] ---**
Father!
**[18:57] ---**
Regarding your Class that was shown on your
certificate for passing the labyrinth-librarian exam...
**[19:03] ---**
In your great-grandmother's generation,
there was a relative who was Samurai Class...
**[19:08] ---**
If I'm remembering correctly.
**[19:13] ---**
You very much resemble Melinoa.
**[19:18] ---**
Father...
**[19:34] ---**
I leave the rest to you.
**[19:35] ---**
Understood.
**[19:49] ---**
I'm happy for you, Lady Melida.
**[21:27] ---**
Ah, look at the time!
**[21:29] ---**
We have to hurry!
**[21:30] ---**
It's the opening ceremony,
so we must get ready, too!
**[21:32] ---**
Milady, it's time to go.
**[21:35] ---**
Alright.
**[22:00] ---**
You're the same color as
my instructor, you know.
**[22:11] ---**
You're always together, aren't you?
**[22:23] ---**
Milady.
**[22:25] ---**
Instructor!
**[22:37] ---**
For my reward for passing the certification exam,
will you hear out my selfish request?
**[22:44] ---**
Go right ahead.
**[22:50] ---**
I'd like you to see it...
**[22:53] ---**
The moment this world, which could be said to be cruel,
acknowledges me someday.
**[23:01] ---**
Then, rather than entrusting my life to you,
I'd like to risk my life for you.
**[23:09] ---**
Ah, sure enough...
**[23:16] ---**
She is my little lady.
**[23:24] ---**
Oh, dear! If we don't hurry we'll be late!
**[23:29] ---**
Let's go, Instructor.
**[23:31] ---**
You are, after all, my one and only...
**[23:35] ---**
pride as an assassin.
