***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!
