SIGN    Chaika the Coffin Princess
[01:43] Toru
    What is this weird feeling?
[01:47] Toru
    Something just feels off about this town.
[01:51] Toru
    Everyone's looking at us.
[01:53] Toru
    They have been since we came into town.
[01:55] Chaika
    Coffin drawing attention?
[01:56] Toru
    I don't think that's it.
[01:59] Toru
    Chaika, they're looking at you.
[02:01] Chaika
    Me?
[02:02] Toru
    I mean, your appearance
    does kind of stand out...
[02:05] Toru
    But still, it's not like this is
    their first time seeing a girl.
[02:13] Chaika
    Toru?
[02:15] Toru
    That's it...
[02:17] Toru
    I get it.
[02:19] Toru
    There are no girls here.
[02:22] Guy
    Here's the powdered fossil
    fuel for your Gundo.
[02:27] Chaika
    Only this?
[02:31] Guy
    Uh, y-yes...
[02:33] Guy
    This is all that I can—
[02:35] Chaika
    This, fossil fuel production area!
[02:37] Chaika
    Highest yield in Wiemac Kingdom!
[02:40] Guy
    Yes...
[02:41] Toru
    We heard that the town of Iveco
[02:43] ---
    was the biggest fossil fuel marketplace
    in Duke Gavarni's domain.
[02:47] Chaika
    Have money!
[02:49] Guy
    Oh, no, you see...
    there isn't much in stock for sale.
[02:53] Guy
    Once you take out the
    amount used by the town,
[02:56] ---
    this is the most I can sell to an outsider.
[02:58] Toru
    Have the mines had a poor yield lately?
[03:00] Guy
    No, not at all.
[03:02] Guy
    It's just that the amount we must present
    to the domain lord has increased.
[03:08] Toru
    The lord? Duke Gavarni?
[03:12] Guy
    Y-Yes.
[03:15] Toru
    What's he using it for?
[03:16] Guy
    Well, that's...
[03:18] Guy
    Hey, look there.
[03:19] Guy
    W-Well, anyway, that's all I have, so...
[03:23] Toru
    By the way, I didn't see
    any young women in town.
[03:26] Toru
    Is there some reason?
[03:30] Guy
    Every few days, the duke takes all
    the girls in the town to his mansion.
[03:35] Guy
    He uses his own soldiers
    and takes them by force.
[03:39] Toru
    By force?
[03:40] Guy
    The girls he takes never come back.
[03:44] Guy
    No one even knows if they're alive.
[03:46] Guy
    Some have fled the town in fear,
[03:50] Guy
    but they may have been captured and killed.
[03:52] Guy
    You two should leave here quickly, as well.
[03:55] Guy
    There's no telling when he'll
    come hunting girls again...
[03:59] ---
    And, well...
[04:01] Guy
    It's not good for my business
    if a fight breaks out here...
[04:04] Toru
    Oh, of course.
[04:06] Toru
    Chaika, let's pay him and go.
[04:08] Chaika
    Right.
[04:10] Toru
    Hasn't anyone gone to the
    mansion to check on the girls?
[04:13] Guy
    That's not possible.
    The lord's current mansion...
[04:17] Guy
    is that.
[04:27] Toru
    A floating fortress?
SIGN    Fortress in the Sky
[04:38] Akari
    Oh? So that's the lord's palace?
[04:42] Toru
    The floating fortress, Soara.
[04:44] Toru
    One of two floating fortresses deployed
[04:46] ---
    out of the kingdom of Wiemac
    in the battle for the capital.
[04:50] Toru
    On its way home, it was hit by a
[04:52] ---
    magic attack and made an emergency landing,
[04:54] Toru
    and Gavarni's domain has been saddled
    with managing it ever since.
[04:57] Akari
    So they fixed it and started driving it around?
[05:00] Akari
    What is this lord thinking?
[05:02] Toru
    Who knows?
[05:04] Toru
    It looks like the reason they
    gather so much fossil fuel
[05:06] ---
    is to power that enormous fortress, too.
[05:09] Toru
    And all those girls are getting kidnapped...
[05:11] Toru
    There are several things
    wrong with this picture.
[05:13] Akari
    But that adds further validity to
    the rumor we heard, doesn't it?
[05:18] Akari
    We couldn't figure out why Duke
    Gavarni might have acquired
[05:21] ---
    the emperor's remains.
[05:23] Toru
    As a magic source to power
    his floating fortress, huh?
[05:27] Toru
    It makes sense.
[05:28] Toru
    Anyway, as long as there's a
    rumor that he has the remains,
[05:32] Toru
    we need to go in there and find the truth.
[05:35] Toru
    Chaika,
[05:36] Toru
    would it be impossible to fly using magic?
[05:39] Chaika
    Difficult. Need specialized Gundo.
[05:42] Toru
    That means we'll have to rely on her again...
[05:47] Fredrica
    No.
[05:48] Toru
    You're the only one who can fly!
[05:50] Toru
    Please, Fredrica!
[05:51] Fredrica
    If I do, will you fight me?
[05:53] Fredrica
    I've been waiting all this time!
[05:56] Toru
    Fine.
[05:58] Toru
    But only after we get the remains from there.
[06:00] Fredrica
    Promise!
[06:01] Fredrica
    That's a promise, no matter what!
[06:04] Chaika
    Toru, promise, important.
[06:06] Toru
    Look, you try being the one
    who has to fight an immortal.
[06:10] Fredrica
    I'm not immortal!
[06:11] ---
    If you destroy my brain, I die!
[06:14] Toru
    I'd die before I could get to it!
[06:16] Akari
    Fredrica.
[06:17] Akari
    I don't mind if you kill Brother,
[06:19] Akari
    but please avoid leaving any large
    wounds, as I intend to have him stuffed.
[06:23] Fredrica
    Okay! Got it!
[06:24] Toru
    Don't make agreements like
    that without my input!
[06:33] Toru
    Fredrica, go in closer.
[06:36] Chaika
    Remains definitely inside!
[06:38] Chaika
    I know!
[06:39] Chaika
    Toru, Akari! Enter! Enter!
[06:41] Toru
    No, we only came to take a look.
[06:44] Toru
    We'll go in after checking it out thoroughly.
[06:55] Akari
    I don't see a good place to enter.
[06:57] Toru
    Yeah.
[06:58] Toru
    If it were that easy to get in,
    they couldn't call it a fortress.
[07:02] Chaika
    Toru, enter, hurry!
[07:04] Toru
    We just said we can't get in!
[07:06] Akari
    What will we do, Brother?
[07:08] Toru
    Let's turn back.
[07:10] ---
    Looks like it will only open from the inside.
[07:13] Akari
    From the inside...
[07:19] Grad
    Attention.
[07:21] Grad
    This is an enlistment.
[07:23] Grad
    Those who wish to serve should step forward.
[07:26] Grad
    Repeat: Those who wish 
    to serve, step forward.
[07:34] Girl
    Mom!
[07:36] Guy
    Stay away!
[07:49] Grad
    Welcome.
[07:51] Grad
    I am a wizard and advisor to 
    the house of Duke Gavarni,
[07:54] Grad
    Grad Lancia.
[07:56] Grad
    You will wait in another room for the moment.
[07:59] Grad
    Further instructions will follow.
[08:26] Vivi
    It's all storage and empty rooms.
[08:28] Vivi
    Is the control room higher up?
[08:29] Zita
    Yes. Considering the
    structure, that is likely.
[08:32] Vivi
    Is that where Duke Gavarni would be?
[08:38] Zita
    The closer we get to the top floor,
    the tighter the security is.
[08:43] Vivi
    So we force our way in.
[08:44] Zita
    Don't rush things, Vivi.
[08:46] Zita
    Let's take our time so we can send
    Gillette-sama a proper report.
[08:51] Vivi
    Right...
[08:52] Cizeta
    What did I tell you?!
[08:54] Cizeta
    If we had resorted to hard-line
    measures when the emissary was killed,
[08:58] Cizeta
    we could have taken the wind
    out of the enemy's sails!
[09:01] Cizeta
    If we continue to waste time,
[09:02] Cizeta
    Duke Gavarni will come to
    invade Cadwell, as well!
[09:06] Konrad
    Please wait.
[09:07] Konrad
    Units under my command are currently
[09:09] ---
    working to gather information
    and confirm facts.
[09:13] Konrad
    If we just wait until their report arrives...
[09:16] Cizeta
    How can you take this so lightly?!
[09:18] Cizeta
    We must form a punitive force immediately
[09:20] Cizeta
    and strike with the greatest
    military strength we have!
[09:24] Guy
    Indeed, at this point,
    armed conflict may be unavoidable.
[09:28] Guy
    Your Majesty, what is your decision?
[09:30] Guy
    Your Majesty!
[09:32] Wiemac
    We have no choice.
[09:34] Wiemac
    The allied forces will organize a
[09:37] ---
    punitive force around the
    floating fortress Stratus.
[09:40] Wiemac
    Subjugate Duke Gavarni.
[09:44] Zita
    Scheduled update: report on
    the floating fortress Soara.
[09:49] Zita
    Other than soldiers making
    periodic patrol rounds,
[09:52] Zita
    there are almost no people inside,
    and the place is surprisingly quiet.
[09:57] Zita
    Duke Gavarni has not shown himself once
[10:00] ---
    since we infiltrated the fortress.
[10:03] Zita
    It appears that business here is conducted
[10:05] ---
    by a wizard called Grad Lancia.
[10:08] Zita
    I once saw a boy who appeared to
    be of nobility with Grad Lancia.
[10:13] Zita
    A relative of Duke Gavarni, perhaps?
[10:16] Zita
    The girls who entered the fortress
    with us were moved to a waiting room,
[10:20] Zita
    then split into smaller
    groups and moved elsewhere.
[10:25] Zita
    Where does Duke Gavarni's true motive lie?
[10:28] Zita
    Why is he operating this floating fortress?
[10:31] Zita
    We will continue our investigation.
[10:34] Gillette
    "Vivi Holopainen and Zita Brusasco."
[10:38] Matheus
    Captain!
[10:40] Matheus
    Urgent transmission from Chief Konrad!
[10:45] Konrad
    Captain Gillette, we've got trouble.
[10:49] Gillette
    What is it?
[10:50] Cizeta
    Foden, is the entourage ready?
[10:54] Foden
    The vanguard has already begun its
    march toward Duke Gavarni's domain.
[10:58] Foden
    Now we only await Your Excellency's orders.
[11:02] Cizeta
    Attention, all forces!
[11:04] Cizeta
    The floating fortress Stratus
    and the Sixth Western Legion
[11:10] Cizeta
    will henceforth subjugate
    the traitor Duke Gavarni!
[11:13] Cizeta
    Rise!
[11:14] Guy
    Rising!
[11:45] Cizeta
    Our fortress is trembling with joy.
[11:50] Gillette
    Stratus has mobilized?!
[11:52] Gillette
    B-But that will...
[11:54] Konrad
    I tried to persuade them to stop...
[11:57] Konrad
    But I couldn't overturn the decision.
[12:00] Konrad
    The punitive force will arrive
    in Gavarni's domain by morning.
[12:04] Konrad
    The attack will begin then.
[12:07] Konrad
    Instruct our two members inside
    Soara to escape on their own.
[12:14] Gillette
    Understood.
[12:17] Matheus
    We're counting on you, Fuchan.
[12:19] Nikolai
    I hope they can both get out of there.
[12:22] Leonardo
    But if they're in the sky,
    where there's nowhere to run to...
[12:37] Toru
    Take it slow.
[12:38] Toru
    Fly in carefully.
[12:40] Chaika
    Toru, careful, important!
[12:42] Toru
    Yeah, I know.
[12:45] Toru
    Right on time...
[12:46] Toru
    Get closer.
[12:59] Fredrica
    Here we go.
[13:00] Toru
    Okay, do it!
[13:09] Chaika
    T-Toru, no problem?
[13:11] Toru
    Yes, problem!
[13:14] Fredrica
    There!
[13:15] Fredrica
    Fredrica's infiltration is successful!
[13:17] Toru
    An armory?
[13:19] Toru
    Akari.
[13:21] Toru
    Good work.
[13:22] Toru
    Did you get to check out the inside?
[13:24] Akari
    I didn't see anything
    conspicuous in this area.
[13:27] Akari
    If there are remains here,
[13:28] ---
    they'd be in the control
    room on the top floor.
[13:30] Toru
    I see...
[13:33] Toru
    Okay, ready to go?
[13:50] Toru
    What is this?
[13:52] Toru
    A support column?
[13:55] Chaika
    Probably Gundo.
[13:57] Toru
    A Gundo? This giant thing?
[13:59] Chaika
    Need Gundo to move floating fortress.
[14:02] Chaika
    Huge magic power.
[14:04] Chaika
    Huge Gundo.
[14:05] Toru
    I get it...
[14:07] Toru
    So it consumes massive
    amounts of fossil fuel.
[14:14] Akari
    This is the elevator.
[14:16] Akari
    It can take us straight to the top.
[14:18] Fredrica
    Are we getting in?
[14:20] Toru
    But if we're surrounded
    the moment we step out,
[14:22] ---
    there'll be nowhere to run.
[14:23] Toru
    Is there another way?
[14:30] Fredrica
    Huh?
[14:34] Toru
    Fredrica!
[14:37] Toru
    Chaika!
[14:38] Toru
    Akari, split up!
[14:40] Akari
    Understood!
[14:43] Toru
    Can you still run?
[14:44] Chaika
    Yes.
[14:48] Toru
    Chaika!
[14:54] Toru
    They're gone?
[14:55] Chaika
    Toru, Fredrica...
[14:57] Toru
    Yeah...
[14:58] Toru
    Well, dragoons have the
    ability to heal themselves.
[15:00] Toru
    I doubt that'll be enough to kill her.
[15:04] Toru
    She knows it's the remains we're after.
[15:07] Toru
    If we all head up, we should meet
    Akari and Fredrica somewhere.
[15:11] Toru
    But...
[15:13] TOru
    Those soldiers weren't normal.
[15:17] Chaika
    Not normal?
[15:19] Toru
    Their movements were too
    perfectly controlled.
[15:21] Toru
    And when attacked, they didn't cry
    out, or appear in pain at all.
[15:44] Vivi
    It's awfully noisy out there.
[15:46] Vivi
    So? Can we use it?
[15:48] Zita
    It's an old model, but yes.
[15:50] Vivi
    Do you think we can take
[15:52] ---
    advantage of the ruckus to
    investigate the top floors?
[15:54] Zita
    Really, Vivi...
[15:56] Zita
    I understand that you want
    to help Gillette-sama,
[15:59] Zita
    but we need to be more careful.
[16:01] Vivi
    I... don't really...
[16:04] Zita
    So how'd it go?
[16:05] Zita
    When you were alone with him the other day?
[16:08] Vivi
    How was it? I told you, I don't really...
[16:12] Zita
    It's not time for our scheduled update yet...
[16:20] Grad
    You caught the mouse, eh?
[16:22] Grad
    I've been watching you from here.
[16:24] Grad
    That was quite a struggle you put up.
[16:27] Grad
    Here we are, in the eleventh hour,
[16:28] ---
    and such interesting folks have joined us.
SIGN    Oh, you caught the intruder?
SIGN    Nice to meet you. I'm Ricardo Gavarni.
[16:39] Akari
    The son of Duke Gavarni?
SIGN    Yep, I'm his youngest son.
SIGN    Did you come in here under the  order of the allied nations?
SIGN    But there are so few of you.
SIGN    Or are you just spies,  here to take a look around?
SIGN    You saw what happened to the  emissary you guys sent, right?
SIGN    This will be my first time  dissecting a saboteur...
SIGN    I wonder what color your heart is...
SIGN    See, I have this hobby.
SIGN    I love slicing people's bodies apart.
SIGN    Into tiny little pieces.
SIGN    But don't ask me why.
SIGN    That's just who I am.
[17:24] Akari
    You're a brat with bad taste.
[17:25] Akari
    I'd love to see your father's face.
SIGN    My father? Oh, you mean Duke Gavarni?
SIGN    You can't see him.
SIGN    My mother and father,  older brother and older sister...
SIGN    I took them all apart.
[17:38] Grad
    Ricardo-sama.
[17:40] Grad
    This girl has superior physical
    ability and excels in battle.
[17:45] Grad
    I believe it might be wiser to use
    her in the capture of the intruders.
SIGN    Too bad...
SIGN    But this is a crucial time, after all.
[17:53] Akari
    So you are the mastermind here?
SIGN    I guess so.
SIGN    But the one who's actually moving  this fortress is Grad here.
SIGN    The three of us are just working  together because we share a goal.
[18:05] Akari
    Three?
[18:06] Grad
    You will help us capture your companions.
[18:09] Akari
    I refuse.
[18:19] Grad
    That's it. Inhale nice and deep.
[18:24] Grad
    To manipulate a person with magic,
[18:26] Grad
    you must invade their mind and
    maintain constant control.
[18:30] Grad
    But that makes it incomplete.
[18:33] Grad
    If you create a relay point to give orders
[18:35] Grad
    and manipulate them while maintaining
    their original personality,
[18:39] Grad
    it's possible to bring an entire
    army under your command.
[18:46] Grad
    Ulu suei, innu turun, im contu, naikt muei...
[18:50] Grad
    Luwai ulkait, ennu, ortz zuin, kohku
    ahl, auyu atsuro, sib tolug...
[18:58] Grad
    This is a magic technique I've perfected.
[19:02] Grad
    Consider it an honor.
[19:06] Grad
    Appear, to take and subdue!
[19:16] Chaika
    Akari, worried.
[19:18] Chaika
    Alone, not good.
[19:19] Toru
    Yeah... We'll have to meet up soon.
[19:23] Toru
    I don't like how quiet it is...
[19:26] Toru
    But I guess that helps us.
[19:32] Toru
    Who's there?!
[19:33] Layla
    I-I just... wanted to see
    what's outside the room...
[19:37] Toru
    I'm sorry!
[19:39] Toru
    One of the girls who were brought here?
[19:41] Chaika
    Yes. Town girls, taken by force.
[19:44] Layla
    Who are you?
[19:46] Toru
    Well, I guess you could call us...
[19:48] Toru
    thieves.
[19:49] Layla
    Did you come in here from outside?
[19:51] Toru
    Yeah.
[19:52] Layla
    Um... Is there a way to get out of here, too?
[19:56] Toru
    Huh?
[19:58] Layla
    Please get us out of here.
[20:00] Layla
    Many of us have been captured.
[20:02] Toru
    Uh, sorry, but...
[20:03] Layla
    Please!
[20:04] Chaika
    Toru, want rescue!
[20:06] Toru
    Huh? Now, look...
[20:09] Toru
    Damn it. Only after we've
    done what we came to do!
[20:12] Toru
    For starters, take us to the room
    where they're keeping you all.
[20:16] Layla
    All right.
[20:17] ---
    This way.
[20:19] Toru
    Is it close to here, um...
[20:21] Chaika
    Name?
[20:25] Layla
    I'm Layla.
[20:28] Vivi
    What is this about?!
[20:29] Zita
    The floating fortress Stratus has mobilized.
[20:32] Zita
    The attack will begin in the morning.
[20:34] Vivi
    How are we supposed to get out
    of here in only a few hours?!
[20:38] Vivi
    We're in the sky!
[20:40] Zita
    I guess, if we can't get out,
    we'll have to share Soara's fate.
SIGN    The allied nations must be  heading this way by now.
SIGN    I wonder if they'll use  the floating fortress.
[20:57] Grad
    I have no doubt.
[20:59] Grad
    We will soon be ready to mobilize, as well.
SIGN    It's finally time, huh?
[21:04] Grad

[21:32] Layla
