**[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.
