**[00:03] ---**
Queen Mercelída,
**[00:05] ---**
I, as well, am honored that you've
taken the time to see me.
**[00:08] ---**
It is mutual, Ambassador Þorhelga.
**[00:11] ---**
I never would have expected you,
the princess of Svarthæð,
**[00:13] ---**
to come here as a Goodwill Ambassador.
**[00:16] ---**
Yes.
**[00:24] ---**
Your country is currently making every effort to emancipate slaves within its borders...
**[00:27] ---**
and restore relations with the various
races of the Monster Realm.
**[00:30] ---**
We view that as very favorable
to our national interest.
**[00:34] ---**
We hope to continue a friendly
relationship between our two states.
**[00:38] ---**
Thank you for your words.
**[00:40] ---**
Also, I believe there was a request
made for your younger brother,
**[00:43] ---**
Prince Sigurð, to transfer to
a school here for foreign study?
**[00:48] ---**
Where is the prince now?
**[00:51] ---**
Um...
**[00:54] ---**
This country's the bomb!
**[01:01] ---**
The food's good and there's all the
well-endowed cutie-pies you could ever want!
**[01:09] ---**
Hey.
**[01:10] ---**
Here you go, Prince.
**[01:12] ---**
Take a bite.
**[01:16] ---**
That's good!
**[01:18] ---**
Hey, you gotta have some of mine, too.
**[01:20] ---**
Okay. Okay. You don't
have to force me.
**[01:24] ---**
Prince!
**[01:26] ---**
Oh, Dora, what's up?
**[01:28] ---**
Why are you out of breath?
**[01:31] ---**
I can't believe you!
**[01:33] ---**
You've only just transferred into a school here!
**[01:36] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[03:10] ---**
**[03:13] ---**
I found it!
**[03:14] ---**
It's the store over there!
**[03:15] ---**
Yippee! Daddy, c'mon!
**[03:19] ---**
Asuha, wait for me!
**[03:26] ---**
This is what's popular, huh?
**[03:28] ---**
Yeah, they sell clothes
and all kinds of other things...
**[03:30] ---**
from a bunch of different countries.
**[03:33] ---**
Welcome.
**[03:34] ---**
Come on. Don't just stand
there. Let's go in.
**[03:40] ---**
They have a lot!
**[03:42] ---**
Lotte, let's try stuff on!
**[03:44] ---**
Y-Yeah, okay, you don't have to drag me.
**[03:48] ---**
How nice.
**[03:54] ---**
Tada!
**[04:00] ---**
Meow.
**[04:10] ---**
They all look good on you!
**[04:12] ---**
They're great.
**[04:13] ---**
Of course. We could be in a magazine.
**[04:22] ---**
Princess?
**[04:23] ---**
Well... Which do you think looks best?
**[04:30] ---**
Hm... Let me think.
**[04:38] ---**
It's a smock!
**[04:39] ---**
I remember those!
**[04:40] ---**
I knew it'd look great on you!
**[04:43] ---**
You remind me of Asuha when she was younger.
**[04:47] ---**
What traditional clothes are these?
**[04:51] ---**
This is a kindergarten outfit
from a country in the East.
**[04:57] ---**
I'm just a kid with a body
that'll never be like my mom's, I guess!
**[05:02] ---**
God, Lady Helga made
the school transfer request herself,
**[05:05] ---**
and you went to a place like that...
**[05:07] ---**
from the get-go? I can't believe you.
**[05:11] ---**
Oh, that.
**[05:12] ---**
I'm supposed to study abroad,
**[05:14] ---**
but I just got back from
the battlefield, you know?
**[05:17] ---**
Battlefield?
**[05:18] ---**
You mean the military academy, right?
**[05:20] ---**
Pretty much the same thing.
**[05:25] ---**
Listen up.
**[05:26] ---**
You need to learn how
to act like a prince...
**[05:29] ---**
and make friends with high-ranking
nobles of other countries.
**[05:33] ---**
Yeah, whatever.
**[05:34] ---**
Are you even listening to me?!
**[05:40] ---**
Hey, watch it! You almost
broke my gorgeous ass!
**[05:47] ---**
I should be one who's mad here!
**[05:51] ---**
If a guy's butt was scratched or broken,
**[05:54] ---**
it wouldn't even be
that much of a problem!
**[05:58] ---**
But, if for some reason,
**[06:00] ---**
I was hurt, me being pure and all,
**[06:03] ---**
exactly how would you take
responsibility for that?
**[06:07] ---**
R-Responsibility?
**[06:09] ---**
Princess!
**[06:10] ---**
Lotte!
**[06:14] ---**
What took you so long?
**[06:15] ---**
Anyway, watch where you're walking!
**[06:20] ---**
Princess, are you okay?
**[06:22] ---**
You're paying for everything today.
**[06:24] ---**
What?!
**[06:26] ---**
Princess!
**[06:32] ---**
Hey, Dora,
**[06:34] ---**
do you think it hurt when
she fell from heaven?
**[06:36] ---**
What?
**[06:38] ---**
Huh? What the hell?
**[06:40] ---**
Does anyone even use that line anymore?
**[06:41] ---**
I've decided. I'm gonna marry that girl.
**[06:44] ---**
Uh... I don't think
she's really your type.
**[06:48] ---**
Besides, she's the princess of
this country, Princess Astarotte.
**[06:54] ---**
How do you think I can get
another chance to see her?
**[06:59] ---**
What...?
**[07:00] ---**
Well...
**[07:07] ---**
I thought I'd get to see Lotte!
**[07:09] ---**
Why the hell are the girls
and guys in separate buildings?!
**[07:12] ---**
I think that's obvious.
**[07:13] ---**
It's so wolves like you
can't get close to them.
**[07:17] ---**
Damn.
**[07:19] ---**
Actually, why are you
wearing a guy's uniform?
**[07:22] ---**
Why? It's 'cause I was asked to watch you.
**[07:28] ---**
Well, good for you.
**[07:30] ---**
I guess you don't have to worry
about anyone finding out, at least.
**[07:33] ---**
Huh?
**[07:34] ---**
Well, you know,
**[07:35] ---**
you're pretty flat.
**[07:39] ---**
Sorry about that!
**[07:41] ---**
Anyway, you better not try to
sneak into the girls' building.
**[07:45] ---**
If you get expelled right
after getting here... Wait.
**[07:49] ---**
Huh?
**[07:53] ---**
That stupid prince!
**[07:57] ---**
What a view.
**[07:59] ---**
Nice.
**[08:02] ---**
That's really nice!
**[08:06] ---**
One, two. One, two.
**[08:08] ---**
Everyone's marvelous.
**[08:15] ---**
Girls with leggings,
**[08:17] ---**
and miraculous breasts.
**[08:21] ---**
Anyway, where's the princess?
**[08:26] ---**
There she is!
**[08:27] ---**
One, two, three, woo!
**[08:27] ---**
That's my Lotte.
**[08:30] ---**
You're cute when you're dancing, too.
**[08:33] ---**
Huh?
**[08:35] ---**
Here you go.
**[08:39] ---**
That guy... Wait. He was
with her in town too...
**[08:43] ---**
Could he be her boyfriend?!
**[08:45] ---**
Maybe he's trying to woo her...
**[08:47] ---**
Damn it. I can't just stand here.
**[08:49] ---**
I can't let a girly-looking guy
like that dude get one over on me!
**[09:01] ---**
This school's security sucks.
**[09:05] ---**
The military academy
trained me pretty well.
**[09:09] ---**
What are you doing?
**[09:11] ---**
Hey. Guys aren't supposed
to be over here.
**[09:14] ---**
Spying on us gets the death penalty.
**[09:17] ---**
Wait a second!
**[09:18] ---**
I just came over here to tell the
girl I fell in love with that I like her.
**[09:23] ---**
That's all?
**[09:24] ---**
Well, good luck.
**[09:26] ---**
Yeah, thanks.
**[09:31] ---**
This is the guy on the poster!
**[09:33] ---**
Oh, you're right!
**[09:35] ---**
Poster?
**[09:36] ---**
Lewd
**[09:45] ---**
Don't move!
**[09:46] ---**
What's going on?!
**[09:48] ---**
I'm watching you, remember?
**[09:50] ---**
Emergency alert.
**[09:51] ---**
Emergency alert.
**[09:53] ---**
Sigurð Svarthæð, a Class-B
threat, has been located.
**[09:59] ---**
Wait!
**[10:01] ---**
Stop him, no matter what!
**[10:10] ---**
Miina will punish any naughty wolf who is after the girls!
**[10:14] ---**
Huh?
**[10:14] ---**
You're surprisingly cute.
**[10:17] ---**
Want me to teach you a hard lesson?
**[10:23] ---**
No fun.
**[10:25] ---**
This won't stop me!
**[10:27] ---**
This won't stop the flames
of love in my heart!
**[10:37] ---**
I've brought some clam chowder I made...
**[10:41] ---**
from Effie's special milk.
**[10:43] ---**
I've been waiting all day for this!
**[10:44] ---**
It looks good!
**[10:45] ---**
The smell alone makes you hungry.
**[10:53] ---**
It's the weirdo from before!
**[10:57] ---**
Lotte...
**[11:15] ---**
I'm the Prince of Svarthæð.
**[11:18] ---**
Sigurð Svarthæð.
**[11:21] ---**
Princess Astarotte.
**[11:23] ---**
I ask for your hand in marriage.
**[11:38] ---**
Queen Mercelída...
**[11:40] ---**
I, Sigurð, am honored you have made room...
**[11:44] ---**
for us at the party tonight.
**[11:47] ---**
Sigurð, can't you introduce
yourself like normal people?
**[11:51] ---**
Oh, it's fine.
**[11:53] ---**
It's not an official function, anyway.
**[11:55] ---**
Today's function is more of an informal party,
**[11:58] ---**
so don't worry about it.
**[11:59] ---**
Thank you!
**[12:01] ---**
It's good to be so energetic.
**[12:02] ---**
I'm sorry about him.
**[12:08] ---**
Úrsúla?
**[12:10] ---**
Yeah, I got it. Work, work.
**[12:13] ---**
What a pain.
**[12:15] ---**
Huh?
**[12:16] ---**
No, it's nothing.
**[12:19] ---**
Anyway, I apologize,
**[12:21] ---**
but I have to take my leave here.
**[12:23] ---**
I believe my daughter, Astarotte,
**[12:26] ---**
will make an appearance soon.
**[12:27] ---**
Roger, mother-in—
**[12:29] ---**
I mean, Queen Mercelída.
**[12:37] ---**
Um, Princess...
**[12:42] ---**
Why have you stopped talking to me?
**[12:50] ---**
Do you not know?
**[12:53] ---**
Why didn't you say anything
when that happened?
**[12:56] ---**
Princess Astarotte.
**[12:58] ---**
I ask for your hand in marriage.
**[13:07] ---**
Th-That's pretty sudden...
**[13:15] ---**
There he is!
**[13:16] ---**
Over there!
**[13:19] ---**
I've accomplished my goal here.
**[13:21] ---**
I'll find my own way out.
**[13:30] ---**
I thought you were a rival,
**[13:32] ---**
but I guess you're just a coward.
**[13:33] ---**
Nothing to worry about, it seems.
**[13:35] ---**
Anyway, Lotte, think about
how you want to respond.
**[13:56] ---**
Well, I didn't sense any
danger towards you, so...
**[14:00] ---**
So, that was all fine then?
**[14:03] ---**
You don't think that's pathetic?
You're a guy, aren't you?
**[14:06] ---**
That guy said all that stuff to you!
**[14:08] ---**
And...
**[14:10] ---**
He was trying to steal me away...
**[14:17] ---**
Princess!
**[14:20] ---**
Princess.
**[14:21] ---**
The guests are waiting for you.
**[14:24] ---**
Let's get going, Princess.
**[14:29] ---**
Whatever! I don't care anymore!
**[14:38] ---**
I see...
**[14:39] ---**
That happened at school, then?
**[14:41] ---**
Right after he transferred...
**[14:44] ---**
I was asked to watch him and
I still let it happen...
**[14:46] ---**
You can't stop him that easily.
**[14:49] ---**
You're right...
**[14:51] ---**
That being said,
**[14:53] ---**
I'm going to be busy trying to
improve relations for a while.
**[14:59] ---**
Lady Helga, I'll do something so that idiot—
**[15:02] ---**
I mean, so the Prince won't do anything else...
**[15:06] ---**
to insult the Princess.
**[15:08] ---**
Thanks.
**[15:09] ---**
That weirdo's here too.
**[15:13] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:14] ---**
If he tries to get close to you again,
**[15:16] ---**
I'll kick him in the balls.
**[15:21] ---**
Thanks. Do that for me.
**[15:33] ---**
Damn, that little brat.
**[15:35] ---**
She's watching me wherever I go.
**[15:38] ---**
I can't even get close to her.
**[15:42] ---**
But love flourishes the
more obstacles...
**[15:44] ---**
are put in the way to prevent it.
**[15:48] ---**
I believe Lotte's green
room is here somewhere.
**[15:54] ---**
There we go.
**[15:58] ---**
Dora's not really trying very hard.
**[16:01] ---**
She doesn't have her eye on me at all.
**[16:04] ---**
Who's there?!
**[16:05] ---**
What are you doing there?
**[16:07] ---**
You're...
**[16:10] ---**
My sweet beloved!
**[16:21] ---**
I never thought you'd
call out to me, Lotte.
**[16:24] ---**
Don't get your hopes up.
**[16:26] ---**
Anyone would yell at someone
suspicious like that.
**[16:29] ---**
Well, I guess you have a point.
**[16:31] ---**
What are you doing here alone, anyway?
**[16:35] ---**
I... thought there
were flowers blooming.
**[16:38] ---**
Flowers?
**[16:41] ---**
They're not out yet, huh?
**[16:43] ---**
I thought I'd be able to calm down a bit...
**[16:45] ---**
by looking at some flowers.
**[16:49] ---**
I see...
**[16:52] ---**
How about we go for a little walk?
**[16:56] ---**
But...
**[17:00] ---**
Being royalty gets tiring after a while.
**[17:03] ---**
We can go out for just a
bit. Just for a change of pace.
**[17:07] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:20] ---**
I wonder why my chest feels so heavy.
**[17:24] ---**
Almost like I can't relax.
**[17:31] ---**
Princess...
**[17:32] ---**
I'd like to talk to you for a second.
**[17:43] ---**
Princess?
**[17:50] ---**
Good atmosphere!
**[17:53] ---**
You're pretty forceful.
**[17:55] ---**
Are you always like that?
**[17:57] ---**
Yeah, sorry if you don't like it.
**[18:00] ---**
I was raised in the military,
**[18:01] ---**
so I guess I'm kinda
rough around the edges.
**[18:03] ---**
Military?
**[18:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:05] ---**
My country has been
in a constant state of war.
**[18:08] ---**
My first memory is of being entered...
**[18:10] ---**
into the military
as an officer candidate.
**[18:14] ---**
Well, in the end, all the
fighting stopped suddenly,
**[18:18] ---**
and I didn't really get
to be much of an officer.
**[18:23] ---**
"A boy becomes a man when he either kills someone...
**[18:25] ---**
or feels a woman's embrace for the first time."
**[18:29] ---**
What's that?
**[18:30] ---**
A saying they have in the military.
**[18:32] ---**
So, I decided on the latter.
**[18:39] ---**
You're pretty forthright.
**[18:40] ---**
You're not that bad.
**[18:44] ---**
Anyway, I don't mean to rush you, but...
**[18:49] ---**
I'd like an answer.
**[18:52] ---**
The moment I met you,
**[18:54] ---**
it was like I'd finally met the
person I've been looking for.
**[18:57] ---**
It was like I knew I wanted
to be with you forever.
**[19:00] ---**
It doesn't really sound right
when I try to put it into words.
**[19:03] ---**
Do you think liking someone is logical?
**[19:06] ---**
It's not logical?
**[19:08] ---**
Yeah. I mean, I'm not sure,
**[19:10] ---**
but you get happy just thinking about the other person,
**[19:13] ---**
and you get mad sometimes, too.
**[19:16] ---**
Anyway, I've fallen in love with you.
**[19:19] ---**
I don't care if we
just start out as friends!
**[19:20] ---**
If that's what you tell me.
**[19:22] ---**
Anyway, please just answer me!
**[19:30] ---**
Naoya...
**[19:32] ---**
Princess!
**[19:42] ---**
Princess... Let's head back.
**[19:46] ---**
Everyone's worried about you.
**[19:50] ---**
Hey, weakling!
**[19:52] ---**
Don't just show up and get in the way of
someone else's lovey-dovey moment.
**[20:09] ---**
Sorry.
**[20:10] ---**
I'm sorry I surprised you.
**[20:17] ---**
Let's go back together.
**[20:27] ---**
Wait.
**[20:34] ---**
It was you.
**[20:36] ---**
I didn't expect you to ask for me.
**[20:39] ---**
Again?
**[20:40] ---**
You're such a shy boy.
**[20:43] ---**
"My beloved" Miina, I'll be waiting
for you at the lake. Your prince.
**[20:43] ---**
Here.
**[20:46] ---**
You're the one who didn't plan.
**[20:49] ---**
Freakin' Dora.
**[20:51] ---**
I didn't think she was
planning on doing anything.
**[20:52] ---**
But she planned this all along.
**[20:55] ---**
Lotte!
**[20:57] ---**
Wait!
**[20:58] ---**
Don't move!
**[21:03] ---**
You're such a bad boy, falling
in love with a teacher.
**[21:06] ---**
But I don't mind that.
**[21:09] ---**
Stop.
**[21:10] ---**
Wait a second.
**[21:11] ---**
S-Stop!
**[21:24] ---**
Um, Princess...
**[21:26] ---**
It's fine.
**[21:30] ---**
You came for me.
**[21:33] ---**
That's enough.
**[21:36] ---**
Understood.
**[21:44] ---**
What?
**[21:46] ---**
No, nothing. Never mind.
**[21:49] ---**
Now I wanna know even more!
**[23:29] ---**
Slight Fever Backslash
**[23:30] ---**
Towels. Suntan lotion.
**[23:32] ---**
A champagne glass, strawberries
and a lounge chair.
**[23:35] ---**
You can't forget this.
**[23:37] ---**
You need a nice shave job.
**[23:40] ---**
You never know what adventure
summer has in store for you.
**[23:44] ---**
