SIGN    Chaika the Coffin Princess
[01:33] Driver
    Careful, now. It's going to get a bit bumpy.
[01:53] Guy
    Why do they have a coffin?
[01:54] Guy
    That's bad omen...
[01:55] Woman
    Don't look!
[01:59] Chaika
    Toru, face, strange.
[02:01] Chaika
    Everyone looking.
[02:03] Toru
    Actually, the one they're looking at is you.
[02:06] Chaika
    Shocking truth!
[02:10] Akari
    That's my Brother.
[02:12] Akari
    Everyone's eyes are riveted to
    your face brimming with madness.
[02:15] Toru
    It's not brimming with anything!
[02:19] Toru
    We got on this thing to
    escape somewhere far away,
[02:21] Toru
    but things aren't looking good.
[02:23] Toru
    We need some wheels of our own.
SIGN    The Forest Where the Hero Dwells
[02:36] Akari
    I'll go stock up on food and medicines.
[02:39] Toru
    Okay, thanks.
[02:41] Chaika
    Akari! Careful, no lost!
[02:43] Toru
    You're one to talk.
[02:50] Toru
    We've gotta do something about this thing.
[02:54] Toru
    That should do it.
[02:56] Chaika
    Coffin, sacred!
[02:58] Chaika
    No playing!
[02:59] Toru
    It beats having everyone
    stare at us, doesn't it?
[03:03] Toru
    Guess we should secure transportation first.
[03:05] Toru
    Also, Chaika, about our next job—
[03:09] Toru
    Huh?
[03:12] Toru
    Hey!
[03:13] Chaika
    Cute! Need get!
[03:16] Toru
    Are you serious?!
[03:17] Toru
    Save that for later!
[03:19] Toru
    I told you, later!
[03:21] Toru
    You're totally being a tourist now, aren't you?!
[03:26] Toru
    Hey, what's our next job?
[03:29] Toru
    You're our employer,
    so you need to explain it.
[03:32] Chaika
    Mwee?
[03:32] Toru
    Don't "mwee" me!
[03:35] Chaika
    Muh...
[03:36] Toru
    I give up.
[03:39] Chaika
    Akari return!
[03:43] Toru
    Why don't we get some food?
[03:56] Matheus
    Gillette-sama!
[03:57] Gillette
    Oh, Matheus.
[03:59] Gillette
    We've got a message from Chief Konrad.
[04:05] Matheus
    What does it say?
[04:06] Gillette
    "Unfortunately, we do not have enough
    personnel to send reinforcements,
[04:10] Gillette
    but I expect fine work from you.
[04:12] Gillette
    Also, I have sent all documents
    concerning Chaika to our branch."
[04:19] Leonardo
    It's likely that they
[04:21] ---
    crossed the mountains and
    headed for the city of Ipsom.
[04:24] Zita
    It can't be easy for them to travel
    on foot carrying a coffin...
[04:28] Gillette
    That's true... which means their next
    action may be to secure transportation.
[04:34] Nikolai
    If they had some leaving here,
    they've probably reached the town by now.
[04:37] Gillette
    Yes...
[04:39] Gillette
    Nikolai, how is your injury?
[04:41] Nikolai
    It's just a little scratch.
[04:44] Vivi
    That's a serious injury.
[04:45] Vivi
    I can't believe you let
    someone like him beat you.
[04:48] Nikolai
    That's harsh...
[04:50] Zita
    Still, if he was able to hurt Nikolai,
    he must be very skilled.
[04:55] Vivi
    He's just a coward.
    He's a saboteur, you know.
[04:58] Gillette
    All right, we set off immediately.
[05:01] Gillette
    When we reach the town,
    we'll split up and ask around.
[05:03] Vivi
    Yes, sir! We'll capture him, no matter what!
[05:06] Gillette
    I'm counting on you, Vivi.
[05:08] Vivi
    Yes, sir!
[05:13] Chaika
    Big servings! Cheap!
[05:15] Chaika
    And delicious!
[05:19] Toru
    Are you seriously the daughter
    of Emperor Arthur Gaz?
[05:24] Chaika
    Actually princess. Must respect.
[05:26] Toru
    And who's the hero with the remains?
[05:30] Toru
    Do you know where to find them?
[05:35] Toru
    So that's where we have to start?
[05:38] Toru
    But you heard about
    Count Abarth from someone, right?
[05:41] Chaika
    Have informant.
[05:43] Toru
    Who is it?
[05:44] Chaika
    Unknown person.
[05:47] Toru
    It's not the people that
    Gillette guy was talking about,
[05:50] Toru
    who want to lift you up and use you
    to rebuild the Gaz Empire, is it?
[05:56] Akari
    That sounded like a bunch of lies.
[05:58] Toru
    Do you even realize that you're at the
    center of something huge right now?
[06:04] Toru
    Is it okay for you to be like that?
[06:07] Akari
    That puts you and me in the
    same boat, as well, Brother.
[06:11] Toru
    You're right...
[06:13] Toru
    We're being chased by that pesky bunch now...
[06:17] Toru
    Seconds, please!
[06:18] Chaika
    Toru, eat?
[06:22] Toru
    I guess I spoke too soon...
[06:25] Akari
    I heard someone say earlier
    that the ruler of this town
[06:29] ---
    is one of the eight heroes.
[06:31] Chaika
    Hero?
[06:32] Toru
    You should've said so sooner, Akari!
[06:34] Akari
    I was waiting for a chance to tell you.
[06:36] Toru
    What "chance"?
[06:37] Toru
    So, where is this ruler?
[06:40] Woman
    Nobody knows where the ruler lives.
[06:44] Woman
    No one here has even seen the ruler's face.
[06:47] Toru
    Really? But there must be rumors, right?
[06:51] Toru
    They say it's a female cavalier who's
    signed a contract with a dragoon.
[06:55] Toru
    A dragoon cavalier?
[06:57] Woman
    You've never seen a dragoon before?
[07:00] Woman
    They're the most terrifying of all the Fayla.
[07:03] Woman
    It's said that they eat any
    human who lays eyes on them!
[07:06] Toru
    Have you seen one?
[07:08] Woman
    Well, no...
[07:09] Woman
    But they say the ruler controls a dragoon!
[07:14] Woman
    Hey, do you boys know
    anything about the ruler?
[07:17] Guy
    Not really.
    There are a lot of rumors, though.
[07:20] Guy
    Since the ruler's being lenient right now,
[07:23] ---
    the administrators aren't too hard on us.
[07:25] Guy
    And taxes are low!
[07:27] Guy
    This is a pretty nice town to live in.
[07:30] Woman
    Well, I'm sure it means nothing
    to a traveler like you who
[07:34] ---
    seems to have no job.
[07:37] Toru
    That's true...
[07:40] Woman
    But to make an innocent girl
    like her carry that huge thing,
[07:44] Woman
    and to even make her pay...
[07:46] Woman
    Something tells me you're
    a failure in many respects.
[07:52] Toru
    For the record, I have started working!
[07:54] Chaika
    Ruler, meet, right away!
[07:56] Toru
    Yeah...
[07:57] Toru
    But we don't even know where she is.
[08:02] Toru
    Why don't we look for lodging first?
[08:06] Toru
    What the hell?
[08:07] Toru
    They could've let us stay for one night!
[08:11] Toru
    And what do they mean,
    they don't allow coffins?
[08:13] Toru
    This is a problem...
[08:15] Chaika
    Coffin not allowed, unfair!
[08:18] Akari
    And I was all a-flutter at the thought of
[08:20] ---
    spending a dazzling night in a canopy bed
[08:22] ---
    with Brother tonight.
[08:24] Toru
    Don't flutter over that!
[08:29] Zita
    What? Just now?
[08:30] Guy
    You're sure it was a coffin?
[08:32] Vivi
    Zita, they should still be nearby!
[08:35] Zita
    Thank you very much!
[08:39] Zita
    Vivi! There!
[08:45] Vivi
    Wait right there!
[08:49] Zita
    I'm sorry! Wrong person!
[08:51] Vivi
    Then where are they? Which way?
[08:54] Zita
    Where could they have gone?
[08:56] Vivi
    That saboteur...
[08:58] Vivi
    I'll capture him,
    no matter what I have to do!
[09:00] Zita
    Come on, settle down, Vivi.
[09:03] Vivi
    But he defied Gillette-sama!
[09:06] Vivi
    I'll never forgive him!
[09:10] Zita
    So that's it...
[09:12] Vivi
    Wh-What are you saying, Zita?!
[09:16] Toru
    That vehicle...
[09:22] Toru
    Damn! They caught up to us already?
[09:24] Akari
    Since it's come to this,
    should we steal an automobile and flee?
[09:27] Toru
    No, we don't want to cause a ruckus here.
[09:30] Toru
    We'll have to leave this
    town as soon as we can.
[09:32] Guy
    Hi.
[09:40] Toru
    No way!
[09:41] Guy
    That's what I'd like to say.
[09:43] Guy
    You slashed at me out of nowhere.
[09:45] ---
    Did you sense something?
[09:47] Guy
    If that's the case, then that's
    a fortuitous thing she's found.
[09:52] Chaika
    Information again, grateful!
[09:54] Toru
    Huh?
[10:03] Toru
    You know this kid?
[10:04] Chaika
    Remains, informant.
[10:07] Toru
    Oh...
[10:08] Toru
    This kid?
[10:11] Toru
    Who are you?
[10:13] Guy
    I cannot come up with a response
    that would satisfy you.
[10:17] Guy
    Still, not having a name is inconvenient.
[10:20] Guy
    Please, call me Guy.
[10:23] Guy
    You might say I am a
    collaborator to Chaika Gaz.
[10:27] Toru
    Are you one of the people
    devoted to Emperor Gaz?
[10:29] Guy
    I must deny that.
[10:30] ---
    I am merely helping her
    find the remains she seeks.
[10:35] Toru
    Helping?
[10:36] Guy
    All I can do is provide her with information.
[10:41] Toru
    How am I supposed to trust
    someone who talks like that?
[10:44] Guy
    Then, to prove it...
[10:46] Guy
    It was I who gave her the information
    about the hand she carries in that coffin.
[10:53] Toru
    Is that true?
[10:54] Chaika
    Yes.
[10:55] Guy
    Well, whether you believe
    me or not is up to you.
[10:59] Guy
    Isn't it inconvenient for
    you to not have an automobile?
[11:03] Chaika
    Yes! Want automobile!
[11:05] Guy
    Then I will give you my
    information right away.
[11:08] Guy
    If you leave town and walk south
    a bit, you'll find a forest.
[11:12] Guy
    Within it is a small spring with several
    vehicles abandoned by its bank.
[11:18] Guy
    Long ago, there was a
    great battle in this area.
[11:22] Guy
    And one more thing:
[11:23] Guy
    The hero who possesses the
    emperor's remains can be
[11:26] ---
    found in the forest,
    half a day's drive from here.
[11:29] Guy
    Her name is Dominica Scoda.
[11:31] Guy
    She is the ruler of this area.
[11:33] Toru
    The dragoon cavalier?
[11:34] Guy
    Find out with your own eyes.
[11:39] Akari
    What sort of trick was that?!
[11:41] Toru
    I don't know...
[11:45] Leonardo
    Thank you.
[11:50] Akari
    Can we trust what that Guy person said?
[11:53] Chaika
    Not liar!
[11:55] Toru
    But vehicles are powered by magic.
[11:58] Toru
    Akari and I can't drive one.
[12:00] Toru
    Will you be okay?
[12:02] Chaika
    No problem!
[12:09] Chaika
    Found!
[12:10] Chaika
    Vehicle found!
[12:27] Chaika
    Operate, possible! Success!
[12:29] Akari
    What he said was true.
[12:33] Toru
    Yeah.
[12:35] Chaika
    Need clean.
[12:38] Chaika
    Need change parts.
[12:59] Toru
    That should do it.
[13:02] Toru
    Oh, she got it to move.
[13:10] Toru
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
[13:12] Toru
    Hey!
[13:16] Chaika
    Test drive, perfect!
[13:22] Chaika
    Aimul... Iai...
[13:24] Chaika
    Delza... Tolg... Ilug...
[13:26] Chaika
    Fifa... Axom...
[13:28] Chaika
    Eksebs... Les...
[13:28] Akari
    You could just cook it over the fire.
[13:31] Toru
    See? We've got a pot.
[13:33] Chaika
    Cook, magic, less time!
[13:35] Chaika
    Bubble and boil, The Boiler!
[13:45] Akari
    That exploded quite nicely.
[13:47] Toru
    Yeah.
[13:52] Toru
    So...
[13:53] Toru
    Hear me out a bit. While you eat is fine.
[13:58] Toru
    About gathering the remains...
[13:59] Toru
    I think we should work out a
    policy to follow from here on.
[14:04] Toru
    What?
[14:05] Akari
    Brother is taking charge!
[14:07] Toru
    I have to! It's not like we
    can count on our employer!
[14:11] Toru
    I meant you, you know!
[14:14] Toru
    We'll meet this Dominica Scoda
    that Guy told us about
[14:17] ---
    and negotiate for the remains.
[14:19] Akari
    I'm impressed.
[14:20] Toru
    By what?
[14:21] Akari
    How many years has it been?
[14:23] Akari
    No, this may be the first time
[14:26] Akari
    that I've heard you sound so motivated.
[14:29] Toru
    Why does that not feel like a compliment?
[14:31] Chaika
    Hero, has remains, very likely.
[14:35] Toru
    But if she's a dragoon cavalier,
[14:39] ---
    it means there's a dragoon with her, right?
[14:41] Toru
    Which means she's real trouble.
[14:45] Akari
    So no matter how strong you are,
    you're likely to end up stuffed...
[14:51] Akari
    I've heard rumors about this dragoon.
[14:54] Akari
    They say it's a very fierce,
    cunning creature.
[14:57] Akari
    Here's one story I heard...
[14:59] Akari
    An explorer and his companions
[15:01] ---
    entered a limestone cave
    from a lake in a small boat.
[15:05] Akari
    Then they heard strange whistling noises.
[15:09] Akari
    They were all terrified,
[15:11] Akari
    but they had no choice but to
    believe their leader's insistence
[15:14] ---
    that it was just the wind.
[15:16] Akari
    However, it was only temporary consolation.
[15:19] Akari
    Because that limestone cave...
[15:23] Akari
    was the inside of a dragoon's mouth.
[15:26] Akari
    The whistling noises were
    the dragoon's breaths.
[15:32] Akari
    Here's another story I've heard.
[15:35] Akari
    A boater looked down into the lake,
[15:37] Akari
    and found the water's
    surface rippling intensely.
[15:41] Akari
    Then a dragoon appeared from the water
[15:44] ---
    and swallowed the entire boat whole.
[15:47] Akari
    Crunch... crunch... crunch...
[15:51] Akari
    And it devoured the whole thing.
[15:53] Chaika
    Akari, stop! Toru scared!
[15:56] Toru
    Don't blame it on me!
[16:00] Toru
    I don't suppose she'd just hand over
[16:01] ---
    the remains if we asked for them...
[16:06] Akari
    This is also a rumor,
[16:07] Akari
    but they say the dragoon sleeps at night.
[16:10] Akari
    If you're going to talk to the ruler,
    perhaps you should do it then.
[16:14] Toru
    Which means we should get going
    as soon as we finish eating.
[16:21] Matheus
    We've received reports
[16:22] ---
    that three people matching their
    descriptions were seen in town.
[16:26] Zita
    There was no indication
    that they lodged anywhere
[16:29] ---
    in the city, or took any automobiles.
[16:32] Matheus
    But going into the forest
    would mean their deaths.
[16:36] Nikolai
    No leads, huh?
[16:39] Gillette
    In that sense, the same goes for these.
[16:42] Zita
    Are those the documents on
    Chaika that headquarters sent?
[16:45] Gillette
    Yes. They're so lacking in
    information, it's shocking.
[16:49] Gillette
    All the Chaikas that have been captured
    previously lacked credibility,
[16:53] Gillette
    and some of the ones captured by other forces
[16:56] Gillette
    took their own lives to escape questioning.
[17:00] Gillette
    That's all it tells us.
[17:02] Matheus
    We've captured two false
    Chaikas in the past, too.
[17:07] Nikolai
    So of all the Chaikas that have
    been captured, none were real?
[17:11] Vivi
    Doesn't it seem like there's
    too much we don't know?
[17:14] Matheus
    I agree.
[17:15] Zita
    Well...
[17:17] Zita
    Something tells me that we've been
    mistaken about Chaika herself.
[17:22] Gillette
    Mistaken?
[17:24] Zita
    Yes. We have been attempting
    to capture Chaika
[17:26] Zita
    and gather the emperor's remains
    under the agency's orders,
[17:30] Zita
    but doesn't the claim that Chaika will
[17:33] ---
    bring about disaster if she
    gathers the demon king's remains
[17:35] ---
    seem a bit too abstract?
[17:37] Nikolai
    But the remains of an emperor said
    to have lived for over 500 years
[17:41] Nikolai
    would clearly be a powerful
    source of magic fuel.
[17:45] Nikolai
    If such power were to be abused,
    there would be trouble.
[17:47] Zita
    But is there any organization
    that would actually use
[17:52] ---
    that magic fuel as a weapon?
[17:54] Leonardo
    Actually...
[17:55] Leonardo
    There's something more
    fundamental that's bothering me.
[17:59] Nikolai
    What?
[18:00] Leonardo
    Did the emperor even have a
    daughter in the first place?
[18:13] Toru
    Is everything okay? Be careful!
[18:15] Chaika
    Okay. Okay.
[18:19] Chaika
    Toru... grateful.
[18:22] Chaika
    Next destination, accompany, very grateful.
[18:25] Toru
    Look out!
[18:30] Chaika
    No look side while driving...
[18:34] Toru
    I can't believe you survived
    on your own for so long.
[18:37] Chaika
    No particular problems.
[18:40] Toru
    You know, collecting your
    father's remains would make you
[18:44] ---
    the standard-bearer for the
    survivors of his empire.
[18:47] Toru
    That Gillette guy and his
    troops are after you, too.
[18:52] Chaika
    And who knows what that Guy kid
    we met today is thinking about?
[18:57] Chaika
    Haven't you actually been
    treated really badly up to now?
[19:02] Toru
    How did you escape the Gaz Empire?
[19:06] Toru
    It must have been difficult
    to run from a whole nation.
[19:09] Chaika
    Was outside nation from start.
[19:11] Toru
    What? So you were already outside
    the nation when the war ended?
[19:15] Chaika
    Yes.
[19:16] Toru
    By yourself? No one was with you?
[19:19] Chaika
    Yes. Alone, from start.
[19:23] Chaika
    When realized, war already over.
[19:26] Chaika
    Father, dead.
[19:28] Toru
    Are you saying... you don't
    remember what happened?
[19:32] Chaika
    Yes. Memories missing.
[19:34] Toru
    Missing? You mean there's
    a gap in your memory?
[19:37] Chaika
    Have memories before war.
[19:40] Chaika
    End of war, vague.
[19:42] Chaika
    Only clear memories, past year.
[19:46] Toru
    I see...
[19:48] Chaika
    Apologize for not tell.
[19:50] Chaika
    Missed chance to explain...
[19:54] Toru
    This is all a big mess.
[19:58] Akari
    Brother.
[19:59] Toru
    I know.
[20:01] Akari
    I forgot to tell you earlier,
[20:02] Akari
    but many people go missing here,
    so even locals rarely come here.
[20:08] Toru
    I see... These things killed them all.
[20:11] Toru
    Also, you should've said that sooner!
[20:13] Chaika
    Dogs?
[20:14] Toru
    They're not dogs. They're Orthros.
[20:16] Chaika
    Fayla?!
[20:19] Toru
    They're not that scary on their own,
[20:21] Toru
    but with so many of them...
[20:24] Toru
    Chaika, count to five.
[20:26] Toru
    Pick up as much speed as you can
    in that time, then cut the power.
[20:30] Toru
    Otherwise, you'll be hit
    by an electric shock.
[20:34] Chaika
    Okay!
[20:37] Chaika
    One, two, three, four, five...
[20:45] Toru
    Akari, look after Chaika!
[20:56] Toru
    Go! Get back! Get back!
[21:00] Chaika
    Toru!
[21:01] Toru
    Go ahead! Don't worry about me!
[21:03] Orthros
    Korukerun... Beie.. sebue...
[21:08] Orthros
    Herukerun... Unzerun...
[21:24] Toru
    Not good...
[21:44] Dominica
    Get lost, you mutts!
[23:25] Chaika
    Hero Dominica, like hermit.
[23:29] Chaika
    Part of Gaz Empire subjugation?
[23:32] Chaika
    Dragoon gone. Chance?
[23:34] Chaika
    Or trap?
[23:36] Chaika
