**[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.
**[23:36] ---**
