***SIGN*** Chaika the Coffin Princess
**[01:51] Toru**
You're on Gavarni's side now?
**[01:53] Toru**
On the battlefield, a saboteur
does whatever it takes.
**[01:56] Toru**
I'm not going to complain.
**[01:58] Toru**
But why did you betray Chaika?
**[02:00] Toru**
If you abandon your master,
you're no longer a saboteur!
**[02:03] Toru**
You're just an outlaw!
**[02:23] Toru**
You're not going to argue?
***SIGN*** The False Princess
**[02:43] Chaika**
Toru...
**[02:44] Layla**
This way.
**[02:46] Chaika**
Right.
**[02:50] Chaika**
Other town girls not here?
**[02:53] Layla**
So it seems.
**[02:54] Layla**
They may have been moved to another room.
**[02:57] Layla**
You're a thief, aren't you?
**[03:00] Layla**
What did you come to steal?
**[03:03] Chaika**
Remains. Father's.
**[03:05] Layla**
Remains?
**[03:07] ---**
Why?
**[03:08] Chaika**
Father, funeral.
**[03:10] Layla**
A funeral? I see...
**[03:13] Layla**
So for you, that's the goal.
**[03:16] Layla**
Please tell me your name.
**[03:19] Chaika**
Chaika Trabant.
**[03:22] Layla**
Wait here.
**[03:25] Layla**
When I return, let's talk.
**[03:35] Grad**
Ah, Layla. We'll be taking off soon.
***SIGN*** Where've you been?
**[03:40] Layla**
Capturing the leader of the intruders.
***SIGN*** Really? The leader is the girl?
***SIGN*** Can I carve her up later?
**[03:49] Layla**
As you please.
**[03:59] Gillette**
The troops accompanying Stratus
should be on their way here first.
**[04:03] Gillette**
I'm going to try negotiating
directly to delay their attack.
**[04:07] Gillette**
I'll leave things here to you.
**[04:08] Matheus**
Count on us.
**[04:09] Nikolai**
Captain, don't do anything rash.
**[04:11] Gillette**
I know.
**[04:13] Gillette**
More importantly, be ready in
case Vivi and Zita send for you.
**[04:17] Nikolai**
Got it.
**[04:18] Gillette**
We're going, then.
**[04:22] Vivi**
We can't get out using levitation magic?
**[04:25] Zita**
We could float in the air,
but getting down from this height...
**[04:36] Vivi**
Those guys...
**[04:37] Vivi**
What are they doing here?
**[04:59] Vivi**
Why did you save him?!
**[05:01] Zita**
I have an idea.
**[05:04] Toru**
I never expected to see you guys here.
**[05:07] Toru**
Are you working with Duke Gavarni?
**[05:09] Vivi**
What? With the Duke?
**[05:11] Toru**
I bet you're the ones who spread
the rumors of the remains, too.
**[05:14] Zita**
I see...
**[05:16] Zita**
You infiltrated Soara because
you heard rumors that
**[05:18] ---**
there were remains here.
**[05:20] Zita**
Hey... Why don't we trade information?
**[05:24] Vivi**
Zita, what are you saying? He's—
**[05:26] Zita**
I know.
**[05:27] Zita**
But since you got in here,
**[05:30] Zita**
you must have a way out, as well, right?
**[05:33] Vivi**
You want to have the enemy help us escape?
**[05:35] Zita**
Right now, our duty is to
return to our team alive.
**[05:39] Zita**
That's what Gillette-sama would want.
**[05:43] Toru**
Escape? What are you talking about?
**[05:48] Toru**
An allied nations punitive force?
**[05:50] Zita**
Yes. The attack will begin in the morning.
**[05:53] Zita**
Our plan was to wait for this fortress to
**[05:56] ---**
descend into the town and disembark...
**[05:59] Toru**
But your plan's out of whack now, huh?
**[06:01] Zita**
Yes.
**[06:02] Vivi**
If you understand, then tell
us how to get out of here!
**[06:06] Toru**
Well, the circumstances aside,
I do owe you for saving me.
**[06:10] Toru**
I don't mind telling you,
but we can't use it now.
**[06:13] Toru**
We got separated.
**[06:15] Toru**
I have a suggestion, though.
**[06:17] Toru**
You guys help me.
**[06:19] Vivi**
What?!
**[06:20] Zita**
Help you?
**[06:21] Toru**
I'm looking for Chaika and my other friends.
**[06:23] Toru**
Once we're all together,
we'll get you guys out of here.
**[06:27] Vivi**
Do you even realize the position you're—
**[06:29] Zita**
Vivi, I don't think there's any other way.
**[06:36] Zita**
We understand. We'll help you.
**[06:41] Zita**
So, do you have any idea
where your friends are?
**[06:45] Toru**
Since we fell all the way to the bottom,
**[06:47] Toru**
there's only one way to go.
**[06:51] Toru**
Up.
**[06:55] Grad**
Ricardo-sama, everything is ready.
**[06:58] Grad**
Give the order.
***SIGN*** Okay!
***SIGN*** Then, let's go!
***SIGN*** To create a new age!
***SIGN*** Our target is the capital of the Wiemac Empire: Cadwell!
**[07:18] Toru**
It's moving?
**[07:20] Nikolai**
Hey! Where's it going?!
**[07:23] Matheus**
That's the direction the
punitive force is coming from.
**[07:25] Nikolai**
Our only choice is to follow it!
**[07:31] Chaika**
Toru...
**[07:33] Layla**
Here.
**[07:41] Layla**
The coffin princess, Chaika...
**[07:43] Layla**
The princess without a nation, Chaika...
**[07:47] Layla**
And gathering remains
**[07:49] Layla**
is your only reason for living, correct?
**[07:53] Chaika**
Layla?
**[07:55] Layla**
You said you wish to give
your father a funeral,
**[07:58] Layla**
but are those truly your
feelings toward your father?
**[08:01] Layla**
Or are you just a creation,
and that's what you want to believe?
**[08:05] Chaika**
N-No!
**[08:08] Layla**
Your joy, your sadness, your anger...
**[08:12] Layla**
All to gather the remains?
**[08:14] Layla**
Or were they just added to you
later for consistency's sake?
**[08:18] Layla**
To gather remains...
And nothing else? Nothing?
**[08:21] Chaika**
No!
**[08:23] Layla**
You still don't know why you are alive,
**[08:27] Layla**
why you were born.
**[08:30] Layla**
When you find out,
**[08:31] Layla**
you'll be able to feel despair
from the depths of your heart.
**[08:35] Toru**
But why would they cut the emissary
into pieces and send them back?
**[08:40] Toru**
Do they really want a war
with the allied nations?
**[08:42] Zita**
I don't know.
**[08:43] Vivi**
They must enjoy killing. Just like you.
**[08:46] Toru**
Isn't it assassins who specialize in killing?
**[08:49] Vivi**
I didn't become an assassin
because I wanted to!
**[08:51] Toru**
Same here.
**[08:53] Toru**
For me, killing is not a goal. It's a means.
**[08:57] Toru**
Don't you have anyone you
would take a life to protect?
**[09:01] Vivi**
Mind your own business!
**[09:04] Vivi**
What is it, Zita?
**[09:06] Zita**
Wh-What is that?
***SIGN*** This is so exciting!
***SIGN*** To be honest, I never thought this day would come.
**[09:18] Grad**
I agree.
**[09:19] Grad**
When the war ended, my new
magic technique was useless.
**[09:25] Grad**
If I hadn't met Layla, I'm sure I would
have lost sight of where I belonged.
***SIGN*** Same goes for me.
***SIGN*** During the war, death was part of the daily routine.
***SIGN*** Anybody could die at any time.
***SIGN*** I was free to kill or carve up as many people as I wanted.
***SIGN*** Those days were like a dream...
***SIGN*** You and I are the same, Grad.
***SIGN*** It was Layla who brought us together and made us realize
***SIGN*** that all we had to do was start another war.
**[09:58] Layla**
This floating fortress is on its
way to attack Cadwell, the capital.
**[10:03] Layla**
That will be the signal to begin the war.
**[10:06] Layla**
It seems we're going to plunge the
world into the warring states era again.
**[10:10] Layla**
That is the dream of
Ricardo-sama and Grad-sama.
**[10:14] Layla**
I am only supporting them from the shadows.
**[10:17] Chaika**
L-Layla, who are you?
**[10:19] Chaika**
Kidnapped, lie?
**[10:22] Layla**
Yes, it was a lie.
**[10:24] Layla**
I'm not one of the girls who were kidnapped.
**[10:27] Layla**
The girls aren't here.
**[10:29] Layla**
You condemn me for lying?
**[10:31] Layla**
You, whose very existence
is nothing but lies?
**[10:34] Chaika**
Not lies!
**[10:35] Layla**
It is a lie.
**[10:37] Layla**
Your feelings and emotions,
**[10:39] Layla**
and the idea that you are
Emperor Gaz's daughter.
**[10:41] Chaika**
No! No!
**[10:43] Layla**
You don't want to believe it, do you?
**[10:45] Layla**
I didn't, either.
**[10:53] Layla**
But I know.
**[10:55] Layla**
Because I am Chaika, as well.
**[11:07] Toru**
The girls who were kidnapped...
**[11:10] Toru**
How many of them are in here?
**[11:13] Girl**
Help...
**[11:15] Toru**
Hey! What happened? Who did this to you?
**[11:18] Zita**
Hang in there! We're going to help you!
**[11:20] Girl**
Ricardo Gavarni... killed them all...
**[11:26] Girl**
I want to... go... home...
**[11:34] Vivi**
Ricardo... I think that's
Duke Gavarni's youngest son.
**[11:39] Toru**
But what is he trying to do?
**[11:42] Zita**
It's most likely for magic fuel.
**[11:45] Toru**
All this?
**[11:46] Zita**
The source of magic is the accumulated
memories of living things.
**[11:50] Zita**
Human corpses are a more
than sufficient source.
**[11:54] Zita**
The denser the memories,
the better its quality...
**[11:58] Zita**
Intense pain, agony, and fear are
easily etched deep in our memories...
**[12:03] Zita**
All the more so in sensitive young girls.
**[12:06] Toru**
So that's why he took all those
girls and did this to them?
**[12:09] Toru**
No one sane could do that.
**[12:11] Zita**
He shouldn't need that many magic sources
just to power a floating fortress.
**[12:16] Zita**
He has some other goal.
**[12:18] Vivi**
Ricardo Gavarni and the
wizard, Grad Lancia...
**[12:21] Vivi**
It looks like those two are behind all this.
**[12:25] Toru**
There's another one, a girl.
**[12:26] Vivi**
A girl?
**[12:27] Toru**
Yeah. She took Chaika.
**[12:31] Toru**
Her name is Layla.
**[12:33] Layla**
Is this your first time
seeing another Chaika?
**[12:36] Chaika**
F-Fake...
**[12:38] Layla**
Sorry, but I'm real.
**[12:41] Layla**
I'm the true Chaika Gaz.
**[12:43] Chaika**
Real one, me!
**[12:44] Layla**
Yes, as are you.
**[12:47] Layla**
You're missing some of
your memories, aren't you?
**[12:50] Layla**
The human will can be controlled,
**[12:52] Layla**
with drugs or magic.
**[12:54] Layla**
Even memories can be fabricated.
**[12:56] Layla**
So why do you believe
you are the real Chaika?
**[12:59] Layla**
If your memories of childhood connect you to
**[13:02] ---**
who you are now, then why?
**[13:04] Chaika**
I...
**[13:05] Layla**
"Chaika" is
**[13:07] Layla**
someone meant to gather
Emperor Gaz's remains.
**[13:10] Layla**
You were only given the title of
"princess" to make that possible.
**[13:15] Layla**
Who do you think gave you that title?
**[13:18] Chaika**
Gave?
**[13:20] Layla**
Was it God?
**[13:21] Layla**
Or...
**[13:25] Chaika**
No! No!
**[13:26] Chaika**
Fake! Joke!
**[13:29] Layla**
Like you, I awakened as "Chaika" one day,
**[13:33] Layla**
though I have forgotten
what caused it to happen.
**[13:37] Layla**
Violent emotions raged within me,
**[13:41] Layla**
and I started to walk...
**[13:43] Layla**
focused solely on the goal
of gathering his remains.
**[13:48] Layla**
In my case, I seemed to have
a talent for mixing drugs.
**[13:52] Layla**
I used aphrodisiacs to make men
my allies, one after another.
**[13:56] Layla**
But then, one day, I learned the truth...
**[14:01] (Flashback) Kraken**
The taboo emperor, Arthur Gaz...
**[14:04] (Flashback) Kraken**
His daughter shall be his successor,
**[14:08] (Flashback) Kraken**
as well as the one to bear
the burden of destiny.
**[14:12] (Flashback) Layla**
Destiny?
**[14:14] (Flashback) Kraken**
The existence of Chaika
is merely the beginning.
**[14:18] (Flashback) Kraken**
A destiny surpassing the imagination
of all men lies ahead.
**[14:23] (Flashback) Kraken**
You are no more than a tool
to set that destiny in motion.
**[14:29] (Flashback) Layla**
A tool?
**[14:30] (Flashback) Kraken**
Your body and soul exist
only to fulfill a purpose.
**[14:33] (Flashback) Kraken**
Your worries, your fears,
and your sorrow, as well.
**[14:37] (Flashback) Layla**
No! That's not true!
**[14:39] (Flashback) Layla**
I'm not a tool—
**[14:52] (Flashback) Layla**
That is... the truth?
**[14:59] Layla**
We are all merely tools
to gather his remains...
**[15:02] Layla**
The Chaikas, as well as those who help us.
**[15:05] Layla**
The saboteur, in your case.
**[15:07] Chaika**
Toru, not tool!
**[15:09] Layla**
You are kind...
**[15:10] Layla**
But that's just another of
your qualities as a tool.
**[15:14] Layla**
You must be the type that acts
like a fragile young girl
**[15:17] Layla**
to win people's sympathy and get
them to help you gather the remains.
**[15:20] Layla**
You're very good.
**[15:22] Layla**
Some are warlike, others calculating...
**[15:26] Layla**
And adding in skills like magic,
combat, and chemistry
**[15:32] Layla**
makes it possible to have Chaikas gather
remains from various perspectives.
**[15:37] Layla**
It is logical... Logical and cruel.
**[15:41] Layla**
When I learned that,
I chose to stop being Chaika.
**[15:50] Toru**
Run!
**[15:52] Vivi**
Why are you guys fighting among yourselves?!
**[15:55] Toru**
That's what I want to know!
**[15:57] Zita**
It's just a guess,
**[15:58] ---**
but do you think her will is
being controlled by magic?
**[16:02] Toru**
By magic?
**[16:03] Zita**
It's possible to make people
less aware using drugs.
**[16:06] Zita**
I suspect the other soldiers are
being manipulated in the same way.
**[16:10] Toru**
Drugs...
**[16:13] Layla**
When I saw you come in here,
I felt it was destiny.
**[16:18] Layla**
I wanted to know how
**[16:19] ---**
a Chaika would face the despair
of learning the truth.
**[16:33] Fredrica**
Aww... I wanted to hear a little more.
**[16:37] Layla**
A dragoon?
**[16:38] Chaika**
Fredrica! Safe?!
**[16:40] Fredrica**
Yep.
**[16:40] Fredrica**
Hey, you...
**[16:42] Fredrica**
Where are the remains?
**[16:44] Fredrica**
Would you hand them over now?
**[16:46] Layla**
I'm sorry. Those are not for you.
**[16:54] Chaika**
Fredrica!
**[16:56] Chaika**
Fredrica!
**[17:02] Layla**
A dragoon's weakness is its brain, correct?
**[17:06] Chaika**
Why?
**[17:07] Chaika**
Stopped being Chaika...
**[17:09] Chaika**
So why not give up remains?
**[17:12] Layla**
I use the remains as magic fuel,
**[17:17] Layla**
until none is left.
**[17:18] Layla**
All to fulfill the goal of
Ricardo-sama and Grad-sama.
**[17:22] Layla**
That is my revenge on the ones
who orchestrated all this.
**[17:29] Guy**
As I thought, a few have come into
the fray with unexpected actions.
**[17:34] Guy**
I guess there are pros and
cons to ensuring diversity...
**[17:37] Zita**
Um, T-Toru-san...
**[17:41] Zita**
Pardon me...
**[17:43] Toru**
Please, just hurry up!
**[17:48] Vivi**
Looks like we can get through
here without being seen.
**[17:51] Toru**
Okay, let's go.
**[17:57] Gillette**
So that's it?
**[18:05] Soldier**
Halt!
**[18:08] Gillette**
I know you are the punitive
force against Duke Gavarni!
**[18:12] Gillette**
I am a cavalier of the Wiemac Empire,
**[18:14] Gillette**
Albéric Gillette of the
Kliemann Organization.
**[18:18] Gillette**
I bring vital information
concerning this punitive mission.
**[18:21] Gillette**
I wish to speak with your commander!
**[18:25] Setra**
Lower your swords!
**[18:27] Setra**
I am the cavalier Theobald Setra,
**[18:30] Setra**
captain of the first vanguard
unit of the punitive force.
**[18:33] Setra**
You said you are Sir Gillette
of the Kliemann Organization?
**[18:36] Gillette**
Yes. I bring vital information
concerning this punitive—
**[18:41] Setra**
What business does the Postwar
Restoration Agency have here?
**[18:44] Gillette**
Part of restoration is preventing
war from arising again.
**[18:47] Gillette**
It is necessary to avoid
**[18:49] ---**
militaristic conflict and reach a
solution through reasonable means...
**[18:51] Setra**
Laughable!
**[18:53] Setra**
This punitive mission has been
sanctioned by His Majesty the King.
**[18:57] Setra**
You have no say in this battle.
**[18:59] Gillette**
But—
**[19:00] Setra**
Above all, this is merely a subjugation of
**[19:03] ---**
a domain lord who is planning a rebellion,
**[19:05] Setra**
not a war between nations.
**[19:07] Setra**
Stand aside!
**[19:08] Gillette**
Two of my subordinates
**[19:10] Gillette**
are inside that fortress
on a reconnaissance mission.
**[19:13] Gillette**
Please, at least delay your
attack until they have escaped!
**[19:16] Setra**
You ask an entire army to stop its advance,
**[19:20] Setra**
only to save the lives of a spy or two?
**[19:24] Setra**
If you continue to impede us,
**[19:26] Setra**
I will be forced to eliminate you as
a traitor to His Majesty the King.
**[19:29] Gillette**
But...
**[19:31] Leonardo**
Gillette-sama...
**[19:32] Setra**
Stand aside,
**[19:34] Setra**
Cavalier Albéric Gillette!
**[19:42] Toru**
Wait.
**[19:46] TOru**
Get back! Run!
**[19:54] Vivi**
Ouch...
**[19:57] Toru**
Damn! They were keeping a
guard dog like that here?
**[20:00] Zita**
Looks like a manmade creation
born of a magic experiment.
**[20:05] Zita**
Come, that which pierces!
**[20:09] Toru**
We can't take the ventilation
ducts or the stairs?
**[20:12] Toru**
That leaves...
**[20:15] Zita**
This is dangerous! Please stop!
**[20:18] Toru**
I've had training in wall climbing.
**[20:21] Toru**
You guys wait here.
**[20:22] Vivi**
We can't trust you to—
**[20:33] Vivi**
Why...
**[20:34] Toru**
We're even now, right?
**[20:37] Vivi**
You're not like a saboteur at all.
**[20:43] Vivi**
We'll take her on.
**[20:45] Vivi**
We can't have you holding back.
**[20:47] Toru**
Are you stupid? I wouldn't...
**[20:49] Vivi**
Just start climbing!
**[20:50] Zita**
Leave this to us.
**[20:53] Toru**
Thanks. Take care of my sister.
**[20:55] Zita**
Right!
**[21:02] Setra**
Stand aside! Can you not hear me?!
**[21:05] Gillette**
Sir Setra, you won't delay
your attack, no matter what?
**[21:09] Setra**
You're wasting our time!
**[21:11] ---**
What if we lose the opportunity to strike?
**[21:14] Gillette**
You want war that badly?
**[21:17] Gillette**
I...
**[21:20] Gillette**
I...
**[21:24] Setra**
Wh-What do you think you're doing?
**[21:28] Gillette**
I will have you delay your
attack by any means necessary!
**[21:42] Chaika**
Fredrica...
**[21:44] Chaika**
Akari...
**[21:46] Chaika**
Toru...
**[23:25] Layla**
You're so desperate to gather the remains...
**[23:28] Layla**
Chaika, even after learning the truth,
