SIGN    Chaika the Coffin Princess
[01:42] Abarth
    So you did come.
[01:44] Abarth
    You work for the Kliemann
    Organization, don't you?
[01:48] Abarth
    It seems you are quite unhappy that
    I sent you away this afternoon.
[01:52] Toru
    What are you talking about?
[01:54] Abarth
    No matter.
[01:55] Abarth
    I was just thinking what a shame
[01:57] Abarth
    it was that I never had a
    chance to use my treasure.
[02:01] Abarth
    Damned thief.
[02:08] Toru
    You're a wizard?!
[02:11] Abarth
    I'm nothing like the greenhorn
    cavalier that you answer to.
[02:21] Akari
    Brother!
[02:24] Toru
    Stay away! He's a wizard!
[02:26] Chaika
    Wizard?!
[02:27] Toru
    Don't show yourself!
[02:37] Abarth
    No...
[02:39] Abarth
    It can't be...
[02:41] Abarth
    You should be dead!
[02:47] Abarth
    I know I killed you back then!
    Are you a ghost?!
[02:51] Chaika
    Ghost?
[02:59] Abarth
    Why is the magic girl here?
[03:02] Abarth
    I'm sure we killed her back then!
[03:05] Abarth
    Well, it makes no difference.
[03:08] Abarth
    Whether she is real or an imitation,
[03:11] Abarth
    I won't let anyone have the treasure.
[03:14] Toru
    What's the deal with that wizard?
[03:17] Toru
    He used magic without any incantations!
[03:19] Chaika
    Gundo... mansion itself.
[03:23] Chaika
    Possible, wizard one with mansion.
[03:26] Akari
    Would that mean he can control
    everything in the mansion at will?
[03:30] Toru
    How do we fight him?
[03:32] Chaika
    Gundo itself, destroy.
[03:34] Toru
    Where's the Gundo?
[03:36] Chaika
    Center of mansion.
[03:37] Chaika
    Likely... same as important thing.
[03:41] Chaika
    Center of mansion.
[03:43] Chaika
    Magic, two places at once, impossible.
[03:45] Chaika
    Chance to win.
[03:47] Toru
    All right. Let's split up again.
[03:50] Toru
    I'll draw him away.
[03:52] Toru
    You destroy his Gundo while I'm doing that.
[03:55] Toru
    Then we'll claim this important thing.
[03:58] Toru
    Okay?
[04:01] Toru
    Let's go.
SIGN    The Lazy Man's Choice
[04:14] Toru
    I am steel.
[04:16] Toru
    Steel knows no fear. Steel knows no doubt.
[04:20] Toru
    When faced with my enemy, I hesitate not.
[04:24] Toru
    I am a weapon to destroy these.
[04:27] Toru
    Iron-Blood Transformation!
[04:40] Abarth
    I've seen that technique on the battlefield.
[04:42] Abarth
    That's the secret saboteur
    technique of the Acura, isn't it?
[04:46] Toru
    Get off my case.
[04:47] Abarth
    Brat.
[05:16] Akari
    This is the center of the mansion.
[05:17] Akari
    Can you tell where the nerve
    center of his Gundo is?
[05:21] Chaika
    Unclear.
[05:22] Akari
    You don't even have an idea?
[05:24] Chaika
    No.
[05:38] Akari
    Damn... Where is it?
[05:49] Chaika
    Something!
[05:51] Chaika
    Akari, there!
[05:52] Akari
    All right!
[05:55] Chaika
    Barrier?
[06:02] Chaika
    That which forbids, release.
[06:04] Chaika
    The Breaker!
[06:12] Chaika
    Removal, success!
[06:17] Akari
    All right...
[06:18] Chaika
    Don't! This, important thing!
[06:20] Chaika
    I want this!
[06:22] Akari
    This?
[06:24] Chaika
    Yes.
[06:37] Abarth
    Got him, eh?
[07:07] Abarth
    So you're a saboteur whose
    only talent is fighting, eh?
[07:10] Toru
    So what?
[07:12] Abarth
    Our present world must be
    terribly boring for you.
[07:15] Abarth
    Saboteurs are of no use, after all.
[07:18] Abarth
    You're a saboteur who's turned
    into nothing more than a petty thief.
[07:22] Abarth
    No matter. Before you die, I, the hero,
[07:26] ---
    will teach you what a real battle is.
[07:29] Toru
    Heroes must be a pretty big deal, huh?
[07:33] Abarth
    A mere saboteur is hardly in
    a position to talk back to me.
[07:36] Abarth
    The item you seek right now is the proof.
[07:40] Abarth
    I earned that treasure along
    with my glory as a hero.
[07:44] Abarth
    It's not something that just
    anyone can get their hands on.
[07:47] Abarth
    You understand that, don't you?
[07:49] Abarth
    It is an unparalleled source of magic fuel.
[07:53] Abarth
    Its power permeates every
    last corner of this mansion.
[07:57] Abarth
    This entire mansion is a part of my body!
[08:09] Abarth
    Too bad for you, little rat.
[08:12] Abarth
    Don't worry.
[08:14] Abarth
    I'll make sure that girl I failed
    to kill before follows you into death.
[08:19] Toru
    Cut the crap! What are you talking about?!
[08:22] Abarth
    I see.
[08:23] ---
    You're just a petty thief being
    used without even knowing why.
[08:27] Abarth
    Poor boy.
[08:29] Toru
    I don't need a reason to do my job!
[08:40] Abarth
    What?!
[08:52] Abarth
    Damn you!
[08:53] Toru
    I pronounce the battle over.
[08:56] Toru
    I am man.
[09:01] Toru
    Looks like your treasure's been destroyed.
[09:04] Abarth
    Impossible! Is that girl a wizard, too?!
[09:07] Toru
    Yep.
[09:08] Chaika
    Toru! Withdraw! Withdraw!
[09:11] Chaika
    Goal achieved!
[09:15] Abarth
    Wait!
[09:17] Abarth
    What are you going to do with
    that once you leave here?!
[09:20] Abarth
    In the wrong hands,
    it will only bring disaster!
[09:24] Abarth
    You don't know what it's worth!
    What would you do with it?!
[09:28] Abarth
    You want to sell it?
[09:29] Abarth
    If that's the case, I'll buy it here and now!
[09:33] Abarth
    How much?! How much do you want?!
[09:36] Abarth
    Please! Give it back!
[09:55] Toru
    That was pretty sloppy,
    but I guess we made it out.
[09:57] Akari
    We haven't done such things in
    a long time. We can't help that.
[10:01] Toru
    So that's your "important thing"?
[10:03] Chaika
    Yes. Important thing.
[10:06] Chaika
    If Count uses, magic fuel.
[10:08] Toru
    Is that a real severed hand?
[10:12] Toru
    Whose is it?
[10:15] Toru
    Why is something like that so important?
[10:20] Toru
    He seemed to know that we were coming.
[10:23] Toru
    It sounded like he knew you, too.
[10:25] Toru
    What's going on?
[10:35] Chaika
    Toru. Akari.
[10:42] Toru
    You're paying us here?
[10:44] Chaika
    Grateful.
[10:45] Chaika
    Got important thing.
[10:47] Chaika
    Job done.
[10:50] Toru
    Are you telling us to have
    no more to do with you?
[10:53] Chaika
    Grateful.
[11:20] Toru
    Who are you?
[11:21] Gillette
    What is your connection to that girl?
[11:24] Toru
    What?
[11:25] Gillette
    You are a saboteur, aren't you?
[11:27] Gillette
    If you're only under her
    employ for the money,
[11:30] Gillette
    do not involve yourself further.
[11:32] Gillette
    It's for your own sake.
[11:34] Gillette
    We only need her and that hand.
[11:38] Gillette
    If you hand them over quietly,
    you'll be charged with no crime,
[11:41] Gillette
    and we will not pursue you.
[11:43] Vivi
    Gillette-sama, it's no use
    talking to a saboteur.
[11:46] Nicolai
    I agree.
[11:48] Nicolai
    There's no negotiating with them.
[11:50] Toru
    You sure like to talk.
[11:51] Toru
    I don't see why I need to
    let you people belittle me.
[11:54] Gillette
    It doesn't matter what he is.
[11:57] Gillette
    Someone who was merely
[11:58] ---
    hired, with no knowledge of the
    circumstances, is guiltless.
[12:01] Toru
    Merely hired? What do you mean, guiltless?
[12:05] Gillette
    Now, leave the girl and
    the tube here, and go.
[12:28] Nicolai
    You won't get away!
[12:39] Toru
    Akari, carry the coffin and go with her.
[12:42] Toru
    Leave the hand to me.
[12:43] Akari
    Got it.
[12:43] Chaika
    This important! Won't give!
[12:46] Toru
    Listen. We haven't received our money yet.
[12:49] Toru
    Our job isn't over until
[12:51] ---
    you get away from them safely,
    with your important thing.
[12:56] Toru
    Until then, I won't let anyone have it.
[13:00] Chaika
    Okay...
[13:01] Chaika
    Agreed.
[13:03] Chaika
    Important thing, Toru, trust.
[13:26] Guy
    Turn right!
[13:59] Nicolai
    Hold it right there!
[14:00] Nicolai
    Give that to me!
[14:50] Nicolai
    Don't touch that!
[14:52] Nicolai
    If you touch it, something
    terrible will happen!
[14:55] Toru
    Yeah, to you!
[15:18] Vivi
    Nikolai!
[15:20] Gillette
    Was it you who defeated him?
[15:23] Toru
    Who can say?
[15:24] Toru
    Just so you know, he's still alive.
[15:28] Gillette
    I'll ask you again.
[15:30] ---
    Do you know what that girl is?
[15:34] Toru
    Do you know?
[15:36] Gillette
    We have received requests
[15:38] ---
    from many countries,
    and our actions are right and just.
[15:40] Gillette
    We are acting with full awareness
    of what it is we pursue.
[15:44] Girl
    We're not like you!
[15:46] Gillette
    We act in the name of justice.
[15:51] Toru
    Justice, huh?
[15:52] Gillette
    You don't know, do you?
[15:54] Toru
    What are you talking about?
[15:56] Gillette
    About her.
[15:59] Gillette
    I don't know how much she paid you,
[16:02] Gillette
    but don't do anything stupid.
[16:04] Gillette
    You'll gain nothing good from helping her.
[16:07] Gillette
    On the contrary, you'll turn
    the whole world against you.
[16:10] Toru
    That doesn't really give
    me any basis to judge her.
[16:14] Akari
    Chaika?
[16:16] Chaika
    Yes. Chaika.
[16:18] Akari
    Chaika.
[16:21] Gillette
    Very well.
[16:23] Vivi
    Gillette-sama, that information
    is highly classified.
[16:28] Gillette
    What you hold is the hand of Emperor
    Arthur Gaz of the Gaz Empire.
[16:36] Gillette
    Emperor Gaz ruled for 500 long years,
[16:40] Gillette
    during which he exposed the continent
    of Verbist to many dangers.
[16:45] Gillette
    The demon king, the taboo
    emperor, the great sage,
[16:49] ---
    the mad warlord, the wise emperor...
[16:52] Gillette
    Known by many names,
[16:54] ---
    he was said to be the most
    powerful wizard of all.
[16:58] Gillette
    The emperor was defeated in the battle
    for the capital five years ago,
[17:03] Gillette
    but it is said that his daughter escaped.
[17:09] Gillette
    The girl with silver hair and purple
    eyes who hired you is Chaika Gaz,
[17:15] Gillette
    daughter of Emperor Gaz.
[17:17] Toru
    The emperor's daughter?
[17:19] Gillette
    Not even we know in detail
    what Chaika Gaz has been doing
[17:25] ---
    in the five years since the war ended.
[17:28] Gillette
    In any case, we cannot let her go free.
[17:32] Toru
    Why?
[17:34] Gillette
    There are still many devoted to Emperor Gaz.
[17:37] Gillette
    Some even wish to lift up Chaika Gaz
[17:39] ---
    and use her to rebuild the Gaz Empire.
[17:43] Gillette
    Even after his death,
[17:46] ---
    the emperor's remains are
    still a mass of vile thoughts,
[17:48] Gillette
    as well as a source of great magic power.
[17:51] Gillette
    They say that magic could even be used
[17:53] ---
    as an enormous weapon of unfathomable power.
[17:56] Gillette
    In other words, Chaika Gaz may be
     the calamity that brings war again
[18:01] ---
    to this peaceful world
    that we finally obtained.
[18:05] Gillette
    We cannot allow her to gather
    the emperor's remains.
[18:20] Toru
    That suits me fine.
[18:23] Toru
    Bring war again, huh?
[18:25] Toru
    That sounds good.
[18:27] ---
    What?
[18:27] Toru
    War is fine with me!
[18:29] Toru
    Why don't we let her bring
    back the age of war?
[18:34] Gillette
    Are you...
[18:35] Toru
    I'm a saboteur!
[18:37] Toru
    This peaceful world pisses me off!
[18:40] Gillette
    You're saying you wish for war?
[18:42] Toru
    Yeah!
[18:51] Akari
    Chaika!
[18:52] Chaika
    Burst with brilliant light.
[18:53] Chaika
    The Blind!
[19:07] Gillette
    Wait! You're...
[19:29] Toru
    Akari.
[19:30] Akari
    Yes, Brother?
[19:32] Toru
    Just so you know, you don't
    have to come along with me.
[19:36] Akari
    Don't be silly, Brother.
[19:38] Akari
    I am with you to the ends of the world.
[19:42] Toru
    You...
[19:44] Akari
    If you die without my knowledge,
    I can't have you stuffed.
[19:48] Toru
    Too bad for you.
    When I die, it'll be by explosion.
[19:56] Toru
    Got all your stuff?
[19:57] Akari
    Yes.
[19:58] Toru
    Good.
[19:59] Toru
    Ready to go, then?
[20:00] Chaika
    Toru, Akari... why?
[20:03] Toru
    We've been seen by both parties now.
[20:05] Toru
    We can't stay in this town.
[20:08] Chaika
    But I am daughter... of taboo emperor.
[20:12] Toru
    I told you. War is fine by me.
[20:16] Chaika
    I... I...
[20:18] Chaika
    I only want to gather.
[20:21] Chaika
    Father's remains, scattered.
[20:23] Chaika
    I want to gather.
[20:26] Chaika
    Want that. Only that.
[20:28] Chaika
    I only give Father funeral.
[20:30] Chaika
    What I must do.
[20:32] Toru
    Okay. I'll help you achieve that goal.
[20:36] Toru
    If that'll let me break
    free of this boring life...
[20:39] Toru
    I don't see how it could be so bad.
[20:43] Chaika
    Grateful... from heart.
[21:02] Karen
    Chief Konrad.
[21:04] Konrad
    What is it?
[21:05] Karen
    According to the report
    from Gillette's group,
[21:08] Karen
    Chaika has stolen some remains of the
    emperor from Count Abarth and fled.
[21:14] Karen
    What shall we do?
[21:16] Konrad
    What can we do but entrust
    it to Gillette's group?
[21:20] Konrad
    Five years after the war,
[21:22] Konrad
    the world should be in better shape,
[21:24] ---
    but it's filled with the unrest of the
    people who too strongly expected peace.
[21:28] Konrad
    Rebellions, plagues, ethnic conflicts...
[21:32] Konrad
    We, the Postwar Restoration Agency,
[21:35] Konrad
    have no time to become
    seriously involved in matters
[21:38] ---
    which may become a threat.
[21:41] Karen
    Understood. I will relay that.
[21:44] Akari
    So, do you have a destination
    in mind, Brother?
[21:47] Toru
    Well, I think we should start
    by crossing this mountain.
[21:52] Akari
    In other words, you don't.
[21:55] Toru
    Don't worry. It'll work out.
[21:57] Chaika
    Yes! Can only move forward!
[21:59] Chaika
    Clear sailing!
[23:25] Chaika
    Found vehicle!
[23:26] Chaika
    I can drive!
[23:28] Chaika
    Journey smooth!
[23:29] Chaika
    Sometimes, frustrating.
[23:30] Chaika
    Reason, Toru and Akari, can't drive.
[23:33] Chaika
    I am exhausted.
[23:34] Chaika
    Need substitute driver!
