**[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] ---**
