[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] ---
