[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.
