**[00:00] Belle**
What's a "Paradise Shift"?
**[00:03] Gwyn**
A term I learned from the traveling
Rabbitia when we fought Tiziano.
**[00:08] ---**
Paradise Shift
Alteration in the World
**[00:09] Gwyn**
It means a change in the world.
**[00:12] Gwyn**
It's not fair, Gin Buck.
**[00:15] Gwyn**
I started out just a run-of-the-mill libretto.
**[00:20] Gwyn**
But then I burned the
Katakombe's flowers with you,
**[00:24] Gwyn**
and you used that as a pretext
to make me do things
**[00:28] Gwyn**
that should have been a job
for someone like you.
**[00:32] Gwyn**
You're trying to make me question how
the people ought to be from now on.
**[00:38] Belle**
Gwyn?
**[00:40] Gwyn**
In her madness, Tiziano wrought
tragedy in the Katakombe.
**[00:45] Gwyn**
But why did she come to the Katakombe at all?
**[00:49] Gwyn**
How is it the divine summons
anticipated a battle there?
**[00:56] Belle**
Does something here go against god's will?
**[02:24] Signs**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[02:26] Signs**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[02:31] Gwyn**
There are two reasons
the castle despises the Katakombe
**[02:36] Gwyn**
and the Katakombe guards its entrances.
**[02:38] Gwyn**
The raven blossoms...
**[02:40] Belle**
Wait, the ravens?
**[02:41] Gwyn**
...and the way they seem
to refute the division
**[02:44] Gwyn**
between Topdog and Underdog, good and evil.
**[02:49] Gwyn**
Every late subject is to be offered to a
place under the castle called "Root Land."
**[02:56] Gwyn**
I only learned this upon making conductor.
**[02:59] Gwyn**
The people of this land have
no right to handle the dead.
**[03:04] Gwyn**
When we die, the blue
priests of the throne room
**[03:07] Gwyn**
bury us with due ceremony
and we become part of the divine tree.
**[03:13] Gwyn**
I think...
**[03:15] Gwyn**
we become sacrifices for when
our god makes sacred ashes.
**[03:19] Belle**
You're saying the ashes that heal us
are made out of dead people?!
**[03:23] Gwyn**
Gin Buck and I reached that conclusion.
**[03:26] Gwyn**
And if it's true, these raven blossoms
that convey the will of the dead
**[03:31] Gwyn**
usurp the dominion of death from our god.
**[03:36] Bennett**
If you want those dear to you
to know of your passing,
**[03:40] Bennett**
you must be buried here and not Root Land.
**[03:44] Bennett**
Here, in the Katakombe
where the ravens bloom.
**[03:48] Gwyn**
And such a place can never
be allowed to stand.
**[03:52] Gwyn**
What are raven blossoms, anyway?
**[03:55] Gwyn**
Where did they come from?
**[03:57] Gwyn**
Why do they host the will of the dead?
**[04:00] Gwyn**
Why do they only bloom
here in the Katakombe?
**[04:03] Gwyn**
And who started the Katakombe's creed:
**[04:06] Gwyn**
"Be neither good nor evil, only outside"?
**[04:13] Belle**
I think Tom Collins said...
**[04:16] Belle**
that good and evil are god's Law of Theme.
**[04:19] Belle**
Who knew something like this
could shake god's order?
**[04:23] Colonel**
What purpose does it serve
to reveal such here and now?
**[04:29] Gwyn**
I'm calling out to everyone here.
**[04:32] Gwyn**
Do the good and the evil accept
the ban on funeral rites?
**[04:36] Gwyn**
Will you end your lives as mere
sacrifices to the divine tree?
**[04:42] Gwyn**
The Katakombe, and no other place,
governs Paradise Shifts in Schwert Land.
**[04:47] Gwyn**
To guard it is to become a stone
in the foundation of a new order.
**[04:54] Gwyn**
I want to give my life to that!
**[05:05] Colonel**
Allow me to gratefully accept
your love for the Katakombe.
**[05:12] Gwyn**
You mean...
**[05:14] Colonel**
I have a condition.
**[05:22] Colonel**
Behold the heirloom sword of Taurus.
**[05:25] Colonel**
It bears the spell Ecnes, which shows
sympathy for both life and death.
**[05:28] Signs**
Ecnes
Sympathy
**[05:31] Gwyn**
A sword of the Katakombe?
**[05:33] Gwyn**
Didn't...
**[05:34] Colonel**
Yes.
**[05:35] Colonel**
In the recent battle, the forces
of good launched another assault
**[05:39] Colonel**
and stole the treasured sword
of Aion from Tom Collins.
**[05:44] Gwyn**
They took the other sword?
**[05:52] Signs**
Tixe
Escape
**[05:52] Colonel**
Its spell, Tixe, means "escape."
**[05:56] Colonel**
It forms a pair with Emoclew,
the sword of the kingdom.
**[05:58] Signs**
Emoclew
Kingdom
**[06:00] Colonel**
That is the why the Katakombe
and the castle can form a pair as well.
**[06:06] Colonel**
Reclaim the sword of Tixe
and return it to our hands.
**[06:11] Colonel**
Do that, and the Katakombe will welcome you
**[06:15] Colonel**
as one who shows us an unprecedented
crossroads of destiny.
**[06:22] Gwyn**
Yes, Colonel Collins.
**[06:26] Gwyn**
I will.
**[06:27] Gwyn**
I will!
**[06:41] Belle**
*A "Paradise Shift," huh?*
**[06:45] Belle**
* I feel like all that talk*
* could teach me something.*
**[06:52] Mist**
Hey! Move it!
**[06:54] Evil Minotaur 1**
You must be Belle Lablac.
**[06:55] Mist**
What's this about?
**[06:57] Belle**
Oh, right.
**[06:59] Bennett**
Friends of yours?
**[07:01] Belle**
I broke all their swords.
**[07:03] Gwyn**
*All* of them?
**[07:05] Evil Minotaur 1**
We wish to challenge Belle Lablac.
**[07:08] Mist**
Excuse me?!
**[07:10] Sheep-eyes Youth A**
We had our swords broken. Now we want
another chance to test our skill.
**[07:15] Sheep-eyes Youth A**
You have our word it'll be a grudge-free duel.
**[07:18] Mist**
That's bullshit!
**[07:20] Mist**
You think you can win
if you all gang up on her?
**[07:23] Mist**
Are you trying to ruin my reputation?
**[07:25] Evil Minotaur 1**
Check that pride of yours, Mist.
It could get someone hurt.
**[07:31] Mist**
Listen, you—
**[07:34] Belle**
That's a nice sword.
**[07:35] Mist**
H-Hey!
**[07:37] Belle**
You don't get that from just any swordwright.
**[07:40] Belle**
It should be worth growing.
**[07:42] Evil Minotaur 1**
Y-Yeah.
**[07:44] Evil Minotaur 1**
I never would have gotten this sword
if you hadn't broken my old one.
**[07:49] Belle**
I'm glad to hear you're not holding a grudge.
**[07:52] Cloud**
What's all this ruckus?
**[07:55] Belle**
Hey, Cloud!
**[07:57] Belle**
Your leg...
**[08:00] Cloud**
Oh, yeah.
**[08:02] Cloud**
I'm just lucky it's still attached.
**[08:04] Belle**
Is this from the fight in the Katakombe?
**[08:06] Cloud**
Don't sweat it.
**[08:08] Cloud**
It seems like this job suits me better anyway.
**[08:10] Belle**
What job?
**[08:12] Cloud**
I made all their swords.
**[08:15] Belle**
I don't believe it.
**[08:17] Belle**
You did a great job, seriously.
**[08:19] Cloud**
Thanks for the compliment.
**[08:22] Mist**
What are you talking about?!
**[08:23] Belle**
Huh?
**[08:24] Mist**
I've had it with this farce.
**[08:27] Belle**
Mist?
**[08:31] Cloud**
She's being stubborn.
**[08:34] Cloud**
I ended up like this,
and Mr. Gin Buck is dead.
**[08:38] Cloud**
We can't go back to the way things were.
**[08:52] Belle**
Who's next?
**[08:56] Belle**
Next!
**[08:59] Sheep-eyes Youth E**
I was first!
**[09:00] Sheep-eyes Youth B**
No, I was!
**[09:01] Belle**
Don't make a big deal out of it.
**[09:03] Belle**
I can keep this up all night if I have to.
**[09:11] Mist**
What a nice sound.
**[09:14] Mist**
It almost makes me jealous.
**[09:16] Mist**
I want to go out there with a sword myself.
**[09:20] Gwyn**
Times like this make me
really miss what I've lost.
**[09:24] Mist**
What?
**[09:25] Gwyn**
My hand. For holding you.
**[09:29] Mist**
So the one you've got left is
just for your sword?
**[09:41] Gwyn**
What a work of art.
**[09:44] Gwyn**
It transmits my will straight
to other solists' swords.
**[09:50] Gwyn**
Should I really be the one to wield it?
**[09:53] Mist**
Why not?
**[09:54] Mist**
That's what Mr. Gin Buck wanted.
**[09:58] Mist**
Are you sure you won't become an Underdog?
**[10:02] Gwyn**
You wouldn't become a Topdog either.
**[10:05] Mist**
Because you don't really want me to.
**[10:08] Gwyn**
Listen, Mist.
**[10:10] Gwyn**
I'm going to make a way to be just
outside, neither good nor evil.
**[10:16] Gwyn**
For that, I'll...
**[10:18] Mist**
God won't allow it.
**[10:21] Gwyn**
The Katakombe gives me grounds to hope.
**[10:24] Gwyn**
And so, well...
**[10:28] Mist**
What?
**[10:30] Gwyn**
I'll keep looking for that
so I can really be with you.
**[10:35] Mist**
Silly.
**[10:37] Mist**
You should've said that in the first place.
**[10:40] Mist**
Why do you need so many excuses?
**[10:43] Gwyn**
Mist...
**[10:45] Mist**
I won't wait.
**[10:47] Mist**
Drag me into your script.
**[10:50] Mist**
Me and my army.
**[10:54] Mist**
If I die in battle, I want it
to be part of your script.
**[11:01] Gwyn**
All right.
**[11:08] Belle**
Whew! That was a blast.
**[11:12] Bennett**
You've improved again.
**[11:14] Belle**
Thanks.
**[11:15] Belle**
And thanks to Cloud the swordwright, too.
**[11:18] Belle**
He enabled some good fights.
**[11:20] Bennett**
I'd like to talk with you.
**[11:23] Belle**
About Gwyn?
**[11:24] Bennett**
Sharp as ever.
**[11:26] Belle**
You know the whole deal, right?
**[11:28] Bennett**
Well, more or less.
**[11:30] Bennett**
Our tactician plans to petition the throne
to make the Katakombe neutral.
**[11:35] Belle**
Add me to that petition.
**[11:39] Bennett**
Belle...
**[11:39] Belle**
Won't you have an easier time negotiating
if I talk to Gaff in person?
**[11:44] Bennett**
I can't help feeling reluctant
to get you involved.
**[11:49] Bennett**
Gwyn will be thrilled, though.
**[11:53] Belle**
A Paradise Shift...
**[11:54] Belle**
I'm curious too.
**[11:57] Belle**
Will this whole land accept Moonwork someday?
**[12:01] Belle**
I want to know.
**[12:03] Bennett**
Moon... what?
**[12:04] Belle**
Moonwork. "To do as the moon."
**[12:04] Signs**
Moonwork
To do as the moon
**[12:07] Belle**
It's the spell carved
into the key to journeys.
**[12:10] Belle**
It means something like always changing
and returning at the same time.
**[12:14] Bennett**
Like the colors of an o'crock?
**[12:17] Belle**
I'm still having trouble with it, though.
**[12:20] Bennett**
I was wondering if you, well,
were trying to repay a favor.
**[12:25] Belle**
That's probably part of it.
**[12:27] Belle**
But more than that,
**[12:31] Belle**
I think you could say I'm homesick
for the land where I was born.
**[12:37] Bennett**
Homesick?
**[12:39] Belle**
I want to know if I can do something here
before I leave on my journey.
**[12:46] Bennett**
Belle?
**[12:47] Belle**
Sorry, Bennett.
**[12:49] Belle**
And thanks.
**[12:52] Bennett**
Huh?!
**[12:53] Belle**
See you! I'm gonna fight
another round or two.
**[13:00] Bennett**
I'm always getting jerked around.
**[13:12] Kitty**
Dear me. I'm already running late.
**[13:17] Kitty**
Goodness! You've shattered my formulae?
**[13:22] Kitty**
That good fellow has sent quite
a remarkable wolf my way.
**[13:26] Kitty**
May I ask you one question, Adonis?
**[13:30] Kitty**
What reason do you have
to turn your blade on me?
**[13:34] Adonis**
Ask my blade.
**[13:36] Adonis**
With your body.
**[13:43] Kitty**
In my land,
**[13:45] Kitty**
everyone knows that the bloodthirsty
receive the sad wages of karma.
**[13:51] Kitty**
Radiance of infinite density!
**[14:10] Kitty**
What?!
**[14:18] Kitty**
You haven't won yet!
**[14:25] Kitty**
Curse you...
**[14:35] Adonis**
Rusty Nail.
**[14:47] Adonis**
Sian.
**[14:49] Sian**
How did it go?
**[14:51] Adonis**
Here.
**[14:53] Sian**
Well done.
**[14:54] Sian**
By the way, did he open his watch?
**[14:57] Adonis**
No.
**[14:59] Sian**
I see.
**[15:01] Sian**
The castle is home to one who has bathed
in those deadly ashes to the limit,
**[15:06] Sian**
maintaining his personality
while melding with its god.
**[15:11] Sian**
Shower him in more than he can take.
**[15:15] Adonis**
Your own older brother?
**[15:17] Sian**
That's right.
**[15:20] Adonis**
I'll be waiting...
**[15:22] Adonis**
for you to come die at my hands.
**[15:37] Adonis**
Your Majesty, hold a moment before
you return to your god's inner world.
**[15:42] Good King; Evil King**
Have you learned nothing?
Have you come to doubt this land again,
**[15:48] Good King; Evil King**
Adonis the Question?
**[15:52] Good King**
The ashes that bring death...
**[15:54] Adonis**
Someone taught me that
the Ashes of the Tried
**[15:57] Adonis**
bear your god's hunger by dying a death.
**[16:02] Evil King**
You were taught?
**[16:04] Good King**
We see.
**[16:05] Good King**
So in the end, you, too...
**[16:10] Evil King**
...have abandoned yourself to darkness.
**[16:13] Adonis**
I offered myself, and this land as well.
**[16:17] Good King; Evil King**
You would offer the darkness your fellows,
**[16:20] Good King; Evil King**
as well as the girl of reason,
for whom you burn with passion?
**[16:27] Adonis**
The world only reaches out to make
peace with me after it's too late.
**[16:33] Good King**
What have you carved into your face?
**[16:37] Adonis**
This is god's blind spot.
**[16:40] Adonis**
Darkness swollen with those who
couldn't perish if they tried.
**[16:43] Evil King**
So you've shouldered a spell
of vengeance against this world?!
**[16:48] Adonis**
"Vengeance" is too weak a word.
**[16:52] Adonis**
I've got a message
from the former Prince Fatal.
**[16:55] Adonis**
When you abandoned yourself
to the divine tree,
**[16:58] Adonis**
this land was already on the path to ruin.
**[17:02] Adonis**
And now, a new flower will bloom
from the seed of its corpse.
**[17:06] Adonis**
You are the seedbed.
**[17:09] Adonis**
Of course, what blossoms will be the darkness
of eternal return that she and I create.
**[17:16] Good King; Evil King**
Doubting one...
**[17:18] Good King**
Bear a message to Sian.
**[17:22] Good King**
Tell him our failure to recognize
our brother prince's crimes
**[17:27] Good King**
is our true failing.
**[17:30] Adonis**
I'll tell him your last words.
**[17:43] Adonis**
I'll show you...
**[17:44] Adonis**
your god's hunger.
**[17:54] Belle**
Hmm?
**[17:57] Belle**
Hey!
**[17:58] Belle**
What happened to you?!
**[18:06] Belle**
The food's not going anywhere.
**[18:09] Belle**
First, let's get your clothes—
**[18:11] Belle**
Huh?!
**[18:14] Belle**
Hey...
**[18:17] Belle**
Talk about convenient.
**[18:22] Belle**
Oh well.
**[18:24] Belle**
Eat up.
**[18:27] Gaff**
A petition to make the Katakombe neutral?
**[18:30] Gaff**
All I can do is properly approve your
appeal to the king and guide you to him.
**[18:36] Belle**
That's plenty. It's a huge help.
**[18:39] Gaff**
But Belle...
**[18:41] Gaff**
What are you planning?
**[18:44] Belle**
Me?
**[18:45] Gaff**
In the worst case, the petitioners
could be imprisoned in perpetuity
**[18:50] Signs**
Paradoxes
The Outlawed
**[18:51] Gaff**
as paradoxes who have violated
the divine Law of Theme.
**[18:55] Belle**
I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
**[18:57] Belle**
Don't worry.
**[18:58] Belle**
I know where my will comes from.
**[19:02] Belle**
That's what going on a journey means.
**[19:04] Belle**
This petition is one of the things I need
to get out of the way before I go.
**[19:10] Gaff**
I see.
**[19:11] Gaff**
In that case, I have nothing more to say.
**[19:13] Belle**
Thanks, Gaff.
**[19:15] Gaff**
By the way, Belle—
**[19:16] Sherry**
Shandy, are you there?
**[19:20] Sherry**
Your wounds may have healed, but you
shouldn't be up and about so soon.
**[19:24] Belle**
Does anyone else get
to talk to you like that?
**[19:29] Gaff**
She *is* our king's one and only daughter.
**[19:32] Gaff**
I can hardly fault her manners.
**[19:34] Belle**
Oh, come on.
**[19:36] Belle**
Don't let Sherry hear you
say anything that cold.
**[19:38] Gaff**
I wouldn't if we didn't care for each other.
**[19:41] Belle**
Oh yeah?
**[19:42] Sherry**
Belle!
**[19:45] Belle**
Hi, Sherry.
**[19:48] Belle**
Sherry?
**[19:50] Belle**
Huh?!
**[19:51] Sherry**
I'm so sorry.
**[19:53] Sherry**
I'm so sorry, Belle.
**[19:55] Sherry**
What an awful thing I did to you.
**[19:59] Gaff**
She means your duel with Kir.
**[20:02] Belle**
Oh.
**[20:03] Sherry**
I spoke the divine summons for you to fight.
**[20:08] Belle**
Don't let it bother you, Sherry.
**[20:10] Sherry**
But...
**[20:11] Belle**
Kir and I are both solists.
**[20:14] Belle**
I'm proud of that duel.
**[20:17] Sherry**
Oh, how underhanded I am,
making you say that...
**[20:23] Sherry**
I could never give you a real apology.
**[20:28] Sherry**
That would mean denying the word of god.
**[20:33] Sherry**
Please forgive me, Belle.
**[20:39] Belle**
Just hearing you say that is enough for me.
**[20:42] Belle**
Thanks, Sherry.
**[20:52] Belle**
That reminds me...
**[20:54] Belle**
What happened to Kir's body?
**[20:57] Belle**
I'd like to give him a funeral if I could.
**[20:59] Gaff**
The blue priests of the chronicle
interred him in accordance with custom.
**[21:04] Belle**
So he was buried in...
What's it called? Root Land?
**[21:10] Gaff**
How do you know about that?
**[21:12] Belle**
I heard about it from Gwyn.
**[21:15] Belle**
You think I could visit it?
**[21:18] Gaff**
No.
**[21:20] Gaff**
Only certain nobles of the castle
may set foot there.
**[21:22] Signs**
Nobles
**[21:24] Belle**
Oh, no big deal then.
**[21:26] Belle**
I was just curious.
**[21:27] Gaff**
I'm sorry.
**[21:29] Belle**
It's fine.
**[21:34] Belle**
*So they even monopolize death...*
**[21:37] Belle**
* Does that mean they rule*
* everything about their subjects?*
**[21:41] Belle**
* And anyway, if I died, I'd want*
* to be buried like Gin Buck was.*
