**[00:09] Gaff**
Belle.
**[00:10] Belle**
Hmm?
**[00:11] Gaff**
I hear Adonis appeared
in the castle the other day.
**[00:13] Belle**
Adonis did?
**[00:15] Gaff**
Yes. It seems he had a secret
audience with the king.
**[00:19] Belle**
Why are you telling me?
**[00:23] Gaff**
He and I are at odds over
the disposition of a sword.
**[00:27] Gaff**
A treasured heirloom of the
Katakombe's Collins clan, I believe.
**[00:32] Gaff**
I fought Tom Collins to claim it.
**[00:38] Belle**
What kind of sword is it?
**[00:41] Gaff**
It bears a striking resemblance to
my Emoclew, sword of the kingdom.
**[00:43] Signs**
Emoclew
Kingdom
**[00:47] Gaff**
It has this spell engraved on it.
**[00:55] Belle**
So that whole battle was over this sword?
**[01:00] Gaff**
That was our god's command,
**[01:03] Gaff**
though I cannot fathom the intent.
**[01:06] Gaff**
In any case, having seized it,
**[01:09] Gaff**
I'd hoped to pass it to Tom Collins's
youngest son, Adonis.
**[01:14] Belle**
Then just give it to him already.
**[01:17] Gaff**
I've set a condition.
**[01:19] Gaff**
He must surrender every
sword he's taken so far.
**[01:23] Belle**
What?!
**[01:24] Belle**
There's no way he'd ever agree to that!
**[01:27] Gaff**
Unless he does, he can never
take his place as Prince Fatal
**[01:32] Gaff**
and support this kingdom
with me, back to back.
**[01:35] Belle**
Him, become the younger prince?
**[01:37] Gaff**
Yes.
**[01:38] Gaff**
It's the natural conclusion of climbing
the ranks of solists as he did.
**[01:43] Belle**
Wow.
**[01:45] Belle**
"Prince Adonis," huh?
**[01:47] Belle**
I guess that makes you Prince Fortuné.
**[01:50] Gaff**
Hence why I must resolve this matter swiftly.
**[01:54] Gaff**
Belle?
**[01:56] Belle**
Oh, it's just...
**[01:57] Belle**
some stuff's happened between us.
**[02:00] Belle**
But I hear you.
**[02:01] Gaff**
I'm counting on you.
**[02:03] Belle**
I've been meaning to have
another talk with him anyway.
**[02:10] Belle**
He's the kind of idiot who
never wants to admit he's hurt,
**[02:16] Belle**
so I want to teach him what pain is.
**[02:21] Belle**
I think I'm up to it now.
**[03:50] Sign**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[03:52] Sign**
Bye Bye, Earth
**[03:57] Noble 1**
Aren't they...?
**[03:59] Noble 2**
From the Katakombe battle!
**[04:01] Noble 3**
Really? They're petitioning?
**[04:03] Noble 4**
So the rumors say.
**[04:05] Belle**
Remember riding a turtle in these getups?
**[04:09] Bennett**
That was the first time we met, wasn't it?
**[04:14] Gwyn**
I poured all my effort into
stifling my feelings back then.
**[04:19] Gwyn**
Man, how I've changed.
**[04:23] Belle**
Speaking of change...
**[04:26] Belle**
I've changed a bit myself.
**[04:28] Belle**
Can you tell how?
**[04:29] Bennett**
Well...
**[04:29] Gwyn**
What could it be?
**[04:31] Belle**
I've gotten taller!
**[04:33] Gwyn**
Oh?
**[04:33] Bennett**
You don't say.
**[04:35] Belle**
It's true!
**[04:37] Belle**
The designer who tailored
this uniform said so.
**[04:40] Belle**
My bust's gotten a little bigger too!
**[04:43] Gwyn**
Oho!
**[04:44] Bennett**
Well, well!
**[04:47] Belle**
Jerks.
**[04:49] Sherry**
Belle!
**[04:51] Belle**
Hey, Sherry!
**[04:53] Sherry**
You look so gallant, Belle.
**[04:55] Sherry**
It's simply wonderful.
**[04:56] Belle**
You look nice and pretty too.
**[04:58] Belle**
That's a vocalist uniform, right?
**[05:00] Belle**
It looks great on you.
**[05:03] Bennett**
A bold solist and graceful vocalist...
**[05:06] Bennett**
You make a lovely pair.
**[05:07] Sherry**
My.
**[05:08] Gwyn**
Straight out of a swashbuckling tale.
**[05:10] Bennett**
Just imagine if Belle were a man.
**[05:13] Gaff**
We may have contended for the
heart of our singing princess.
**[05:18] Belle**
Huh?
**[05:18] Gwyn**
In that case, we would have to take
the fall for a crime on Belle's behalf.
**[05:24] Bennett**
Such stories always unfold that way.
**[05:32] Gaff**
I see Belle has fine sword friends.
**[05:35] Bennett**
Yes. People we can trust
to watch our backs in a fight.
**[05:41] Gaff**
Is that so?
**[05:42] Gaff**
I applaud your spirit, although you're
as eccentric as the rumors say.
**[05:47] Belle**
I know, right?
**[05:48] Belle**
Gaff, thanks for today.
**[05:50] Gaff**
It was nothing.
**[05:51] Gaff**
Still, you've certainly come
dressed to make a statement.
**[05:55] Gwyn**
I can give you a suit to match, if you'd like.
**[05:58] Sherry**
Oh? Then I'd like one as well.
**[06:01] Sherry**
Please? It would mean so much to me.
**[06:04] Gaff**
I don't know about that, Sherry...
**[06:11] Gaff**
It appears the time is ripe.
**[06:33] Gwyn**
I am Gwyn, middle grade
conductor of solists!
**[06:37] Gwyn**
I have come today by grace of Lead
Solist Gaff to make a humble appeal.
**[06:47] Gwyn**
We wish for the Katakombe
to become neutral ground.
**[06:51] Gwyn**
O King Rawhide!
**[06:53] Gwyn**
Come! Reveal yourself to us!
**[07:02] Gaff**
Your Majesty, please hearken to their
voices, the voices of your people!
**[07:15] Belle**
What's wrong, Bennett?
**[07:17] Bennett**
I can hear them.
**[07:18] Belle**
Huh?
**[07:21] Bennett**
How many hundreds are there
on the other side of that curtain?
**[07:32] Sherry**
No!
**[07:37] Gaff**
Sherry?!
**[07:39] Sherry**
As divine priestess, I relay a message...
**[07:43] Belle**
A divine summons!
**[07:44] Sherry**
In this castle dwells a Nidhogg
**[07:48] Sherry**
who would endanger the people.
**[07:50] Gaff**
What?!
**[07:51] Sherry**
Though dwelling within our god,
he has revealed his wicked nature
**[07:59] Sherry**
and now shatters all bonds.
**[08:03] Sherry**
His name...
**[08:07] Bennett**
Run, Gwyn!
**[08:22] Belle**
Is *that* King Rawhide?!
**[08:35] Belle**
What the hell...?!
**[08:38] Bennett**
Gwyn!
**[08:39] Bennett**
That thing ate Gwyn!
**[08:41] Sherry**
In the voice of god, I command you...
**[08:45] Sherry**
Wield Sagittarius to slay
the maddened Nidhogg king!
**[08:51] Belle**
What does that mean?!
**[08:53] Signs**
Sagittarius
Song of Destruction
**[08:53] Gaff**
It's the name of a song!
**[08:54] Gaff**
A song of destruction that exists
only to destroy all buildings!
**[08:58] Sherry**
To sing, I name Sherry,
**[09:01] Sherry**
divine vocalist and Princess Veronette.
**[09:07] Gaff**
Sherry!
**[09:07] Bennett**
Here he comes!
**[09:17] Belle**
Damn it!
**[09:18] Good King**
Little one...
**[09:20] Belle**
Huh?
**[09:21] Belle**
King Rawhide?!
**[09:23] Good King**
End us.
**[09:25] Belle**
What?
**[09:26] Good King**
You must not allow us to leave this hall...
**[09:31] Good King**
Must not allow the people
to behold this form.
**[09:42] Good King**
End us.
**[09:59] Gaff**
Sherry!
**[10:00] Gaff**
The song of destruction!
**[10:00] Gaff**
Hurry!
**[10:01] Sherry**
No!
**[10:03] Sherry**
I can't. My father...
**[10:05] Gaff**
Sherry!
**[10:06] Gaff**
It will spare him further suffering!
**[10:09] Sherry**
No!
**[10:11] Sherry**
If I do that, I'll...
**[10:14] Sherry**
I'll never sing again.
**[10:16] Belle**
I'll handle this, Gaff!
**[10:18] Gaff**
No! That would go against our god's command!
**[10:20] Belle**
The king asked me to!
**[10:21] Belle**
He said to end him!
**[10:23] Gaff**
No!
**[10:41] Belle**
Damn it!
**[10:42] Belle**
Where do I hit to kill him?!
**[10:45] Bennett**
I found him!
**[10:45] Bennett**
Belle!
**[10:46] Bennett**
Gwyn is still alive!
**[10:48] Bennett**
There!
**[11:02] Belle**
I see it!
**[11:03] Belle**
Runding!
**[11:17] Belle**
What the...?
**[11:24] Young Belle**
Why?
**[11:27] Belle**
Are you...
**[11:30] Belle**
me?
**[11:32] Young Belle**
Why did you have to wake up?
**[11:35] Young Belle**
You should have just stayed asleep.
**[11:38] Young Belle**
Inside that rock. Forever.
**[11:42] Belle**
What?!
**[11:43] Young Belle**
Because you existed, we...
**[11:49] Belle**
Huh?
**[11:51] Young Belle**
* Following survivor confirmation...*

**[11:59] Young Belle**

**[12:49] Young Belle**
Girl of reason,
**[12:51] Young Belle**
because you woke up...
**[12:57] Young Belle**
*Why?*
**[13:08] Belle**
What happened?
**[13:22] Belle**
What the hell did I cut?
**[13:27] Bennett**
Gwyn!
**[13:30] Bennett**
Hey! Are you all right, Gwyn?!
**[13:32] Bennett**
Open your eyes! Gwyn!
**[13:38] Bennett**
Gwyn!
**[13:40] Belle**
He'll be fine.
**[13:41] Bennett**
Belle?
**[13:43] Belle**
He's only dreaming.
**[13:46] Bennett**
Dreaming?
**[13:47] Belle**
The dream the divine tree has.
**[13:50] Belle**
Like I dreamed in that stone egg.
**[13:59] Gaff**
I don't believe it.
**[14:03] Sherry**
How could this...
**[14:07] Sherry**
Father...
**[14:09] Belle**
What?!
**[14:10] Gaff**
Make no mistake.
**[14:11] Gaff**
That is King Rawhide.
**[14:13] Gaff**
He offered himself to the divine tree.
To think we would recover him like this...
**[14:17] Gaff**
Did you do this?
**[14:19] Belle**
Huh? No.
**[14:21] Belle**
I just cut...
**[14:23] Sherry**
Oh, to have the father I know
here like this at the end...
**[14:31] Sherry**
Thank you, Belle.
**[14:33] Sherry**
Thank you.
**[14:35] Belle**
I didn't really—
**[14:37] Adonis**
You sublated his existence.
**[14:39] Belle**
Huh?
**[14:42] Belle**
A...
**[14:44] Belle**
Adonis!
**[14:50] Adonis**
I'm impressed.
**[14:51] Adonis**
You sublated the Nidhogg's very
existence without cutting its body?
**[14:56] Signs**
Sublate
Aufheben
**[14:57] Adonis**
That must be what your curse demands,
**[15:01] Adonis**
the point where it changes into a blessing.
**[15:04] Gaff**
What are you trying to say, Adonis?
**[15:06] Adonis**
God hasn't finished speaking.
**[15:10] Belle**
Sherry?
**[15:12] Sherry**
Within the divine order, I command you...
**[15:16] Sherry**
One has defied the word of god
and swung a cruel sword.
**[15:22] Signs**
Paradox
The Outlawed
**[15:22] Sherry**
You shall deem her a
paradox and imprison her.
**[15:27] Sherry**
Likewise to those whose appeal
has disturbed the divine order.
**[15:33] Sherry**
Oh, Belle!
**[15:37] Gaff**
Sherry!
**[15:41] Belle**
H-Hang on!
**[15:44] Bennett**
Gwyn, was this part of your script, too?
**[15:49] Belle**
Hey, Gaff!
**[15:50] Gaff**
I'll do something for you soon.
**[15:52] Belle**
Huh?
**[15:52] Gaff**
Endure it for now, Belle.
**[15:57] Belle**
Are you kidding me?!
**[15:59] Belle**
Don't you point your swords at me!
**[16:01] Bennett**
Stop!
**[16:02] Bennett**
We should go quietly and—
**[16:02] Belle**
Look at me!
**[16:03] Belle**
Gaff!
**[16:06] Belle**
Adonis!
**[16:10] Belle**
That sword...
**[16:15] Adonis**
Rusty Nail.
**[16:18] Adonis**
Gaff, the divine summons didn't
specify who should fight.
**[16:23] Gaff**
Adonis, do you mean...?
**[16:25] Adonis**
Give me the order.
**[16:26] Adonis**
Do it as a noble of this castle! Hurry!
**[16:30] Gaff**
Adonis,
**[16:32] Gaff**
I leave Belle to you.
**[16:34] Adonis**
I hear and obey, Prince Fortuné.
**[16:36] Belle**
What? Gaff!
**[16:39] Adonis**
Belle,
**[16:40] Adonis**
can you cut me?
**[16:43] Belle**
Move.
**[16:50] Belle**
Do you realize why we're here right now?
**[16:56] Adonis**
No idea.
**[16:57] Adonis**
But it's too late. For anything.
**[17:01] Adonis**
I made sure of that.
**[17:03] Belle**
You...
**[17:04] Belle**
You did this?
**[17:06] Belle**
You caused this mess?
**[17:10] Belle**
You dumb bastard!
**[17:35] Belle**
He's strong...
**[17:38] Belle**
He's holding his sword barehanded?
**[17:45] Belle**
Is that sword your answer?
**[17:49] Belle**
Then here's mine!
**[17:57] Adonis**
*Can you cut me?*
**[17:59] Belle**
Our swords will decide how this ends!
**[18:08] Belle**
*Did I cut it?*
**[18:19] Belle**
Runding?!
**[18:23] Belle**
No!
**[18:24] Belle**
I know I broke it!
**[18:26] Adonis**
This sword is forever withering.
**[18:28] Adonis**
No sword in existence can
destroy Rusty Nail's blade.
**[18:34] Belle**
*It's consumed mine!*
**[18:35] Belle**
*That sword ate Runding's power!*
**[18:40] Belle**
What?
**[18:42] Adonis**
Two swords from the same
maker are resonating.
**[18:46] Adonis**
Your sword is forever being born.
**[18:49] Adonis**
My blade is drawn to Runding's.
**[18:52] Belle**
What?!
**[18:53] Belle**
Damn it!
**[18:55] Belle**
So that's what your curse really does!
**[18:59] Belle**
I guess you finally found
a sword to suit your hands!
**[19:02] Adonis**
And at the same time,
the form of my blessing.
**[19:11] Belle**
You expect me to believe that disgusting
sword is Runding's brother?!
**[19:22] Young Belle**
*Why?*
**[19:24] Adonis**
So that's the form of *your* curse...
**[19:28] Belle**
I've had it with your tricks!
**[19:32] Belle**
I'll hack that thing to pieces,
and you with it!
**[19:35] Adonis**
Can you sublate my existence?!
**[19:56] Belle**
Adonis...
**[20:05] Adonis**
Just what I hoped for!
**[20:07] Adonis**
Surpassing our swords' mortal shells
**[20:10] Adonis**
is the future their makers
entrusted to us, their wielders.
**[20:23] Adonis**
If you can't even sublate me,
**[20:25] Adonis**
how can you sublate a god?
**[20:31] Belle**
It'll die.
**[20:32] Belle**
*Who will?*
**[20:33] Belle**
*What will?*
**[20:34] Belle**
*The sword.*
**[20:35] Belle**
*My sword will die.*
**[20:39] Belle**
*If I lose it, I'll despair and die.*
**[20:44] Belle**
*I'll break.*
**[20:48] Adonis**
Girl of reason!
**[20:54] Belle**
You...
**[21:15] Belle**
Adonis!
**[21:37] Belle**
*A journey...*
**[21:44] Belle**
*Let's go on a journey together, I said.*
