[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] ---
