SIGN    Chaika the Coffin Princess
[01:33] Dominica
    Get lost, you mutts!
[01:38] Dominica
    Are you all right?
[01:40] Dominica
    Didn't they tell you in town
    that this area is dangerous?
[01:45] Dominica
    Who are you?
[01:50] Toru
    I'm a traveler. My name is Toru.
[01:53] Toru
    I sort of got lost...
[01:55] Dominica
    I see. I'm Dominica Scoda.
[01:58] Toru
    Thank you for saving me.
[02:02] Dominica
    There'll be trouble if
    the Orthros come back.
[02:04] Dominica
    If it suits you, why don't
    you come to my mansion?
[02:07] Toru
    Thank you.
[02:09] Toru
    Damn...
[02:11] Toru
    We have to steal the remains from her?
SIGN    The Dragoon's Wish
[02:29] Akari
    Not very well guarded,
    for a ruler's mansion...
[02:32] Toru
    With a dragoon, it wouldn't have to be.
[02:35] Toru
    And she's no weakling herself.
[02:38] Toru
    Now that she's seen our faces,
    a surprise attack won't work.
[02:42] Toru
    What?
[02:43] Chaika
    Ask for lodging.
[02:45] Chaika
    Peaceful sleep, bath, request!
[02:48] Toru
    Have you forgotten why you came here?
[02:51] Toru
    What about gathering the remains?
[02:54] Chaika
    Remember! Of course, remember!
    Forget, impossible!
[02:58] Toru
    You did forget, didn't you?
[03:13] Chaika
    Surprise... Transformed...
[03:15] Toru
    Is that the dragoon's magic?
[03:17] Akari
    That's handy.
[03:21] Dominica
    By the way, what connection
    do you kids have?
[03:24] Toru
    Ah... um...
[03:26] Akari
    I'm not surprised you asked that.
[03:29] Akari
    We're actually siblings.
[03:32] Akari
    And, though we are related by blood,
[03:35] Akari
    we've fallen into unforgivable,
    forbidden love.
[03:37] Toru
    Wha—
[03:38] Akari
    But, of course, there's no way our family
[03:41] ---
    would permit such immoral love.
[03:44] Akari
    The more they oppose us,
    the stronger the flames of passion burn.
[03:48] Akari
    Ah, they burn stronger and stronger...
[03:50] Akari
    Roaring, roaring...
[03:52] Toru
    Hey...
[03:54] Akari
    We couldn't bear to be apart,
[03:56] Akari
    so we decided to be
    together forever in death,
[03:58] Akari
    and came up with a suicide pact,
    but we couldn't go through with it.
[04:02] Akari
    So we joined hands and
    resolved to elope.
[04:05] Akari
    To shake off our pursuers,
[04:07] Akari
    we decided to pass through this
    forest, knowing it was dangerous.
[04:13] Toru
    Uh... Actually...
[04:15] Dominica
    Forbidden love, huh?
[04:17] Dominica
    I wouldn't mind experiencing what
    that sort of yearning feels like.
[04:20] Toru
    Eh?
[04:21] Chaika
    Forbidden love?
[04:23] Dominica
    If that's the case, you should stay
    here until your pursuers are gone.
[04:30] Chaika
    Toru and Akari, forbidden love, didn't know!
[04:35] Toru
    Come on, cut it out.
[04:37] Toru
    We are siblings, but not by blood.
[04:40] Toru
    We just grew up together.
[04:41] Akari
    Brother.
[04:49] Dominica
    I can't offer much hospitality,
    but use the rooms as you like.
[05:01] Toru
    I don't like this place.
    I feel like we're being watched.
[05:05] Akari
    She seems quite fond of herself.
[05:08] Toru
    I don't see anyone else around, though.
[05:11] Toru
    Does she live here by herself?
[05:13] Akari
    Shall we look around?
[05:15] Toru
    Yeah. Chaika, wait here and—
[05:19] Chaika
    Stay alone, can't!
[05:22] Chaika
    Creepy... Scared...
[05:28] Toru
    Doesn't look like it's been used.
[05:30] Akari
    No food, either.
[05:38] Akari
    Not even a mouse to be found.
[05:40] Toru
    Yeah. Hard to believe a
    ruler would live this way.
[06:02] Toru
    A magic projector?
[06:04] Akari
    A person can only be so narcissistic.
[06:12] Chaika
    Cat!
[06:13] Chaika
    Cat found!
[06:16] Chaika
    Cat, not scared.
[06:18] Chaika
    Cute!
[06:21] Akari
    So it looks like there really
    are no other people here.
[06:24] Akari
    Nor any sign of a dragoon.
[06:27] Toru
    Dominica used magic, didn't she?
[06:29] Toru
    So it must be close by...
[06:32] Akari
    Could it be hiding
    somewhere in the mansion?
[06:34] Toru
    If it's not, that works out for us.
[06:37] Toru
    Chaika, what do we do?
[06:38] Chaika
    Do? Unclear. Need explanation.
[06:41] Toru
    I intend to start by asking her
    up-front to give us the remains.
[06:46] Toru
    If she resists, we'll take it by force.
[06:48] Toru
    Is that okay?
[06:51] Chaika
    Saved from Orthros. Gave shelter.
[06:55] Chaika
    Dominica, good person. No fight.
[06:57] Toru
    Yeah.
[06:58] Chaika
    Use force, not good. Ungrateful.
[07:02] Toru
    That is true, but aren't you
    forgetting something important?
[07:07] Toru
    Dominica is your enemy.
[07:11] Toru
    And as I see it, how good she is and
[07:15] ---
    what the circumstances are don't matter.
[07:18] Toru
    My objective is to fulfill your wishes.
[07:21] Chaika
    Toru, I...
[07:24] Toru
    I'll think of a way to do it,
[07:26] Toru
    but as our employer,
    it's your job to decide.
[07:29] Toru
    Master, we need you to keep it together.
[07:37] Chaika
    Tenmu... An... Gulv...
    Iyaf... Oul... Alou...
[07:41] Chaika
    Bring warmth, The Boiler!
[07:53] Toru
    Dominica is your enemy.
[07:58] Chaika
    Toru, correct. Me, mistake...
[08:02] Chaika
    I want remains.
[08:06] Chaika
    Suicide pact, complicated...
[08:09] Chaika
    Dominica, savior.
[08:12] Chaika
    I don't want fight...
[08:18] Chaika
    Akari...
[08:27] Akari
    You got the spiderweb out, I see.
[08:30] Akari
    Chaika, Brother and
    I are both saboteurs.
[08:33] Akari
    So our master's word is our command.
[08:36] Chaika
    Already know.
[08:39] Akari
    Brother is thinking only of fulfilling
    your objective as our master.
[08:45] Akari
    That's why he presses
    you for a decision.
[08:48] Akari
    He's not trying to make
    things difficult for you.
[08:50] Akari
    Please understand that.
[08:54] Akari
    I'm going to rinse you off.
[09:03] Chaika
    Akari...
[09:05] ---
    grateful.
[09:25] Akari
    Okay.
[09:48] Dominica
    It's delicious.
[09:50] Akari
    I don't know if it suits your tastes.
[09:52] Dominica
    No, I spent a very long
    time on the battlefield,
[09:56] Dominica
    so I'm not a picky eater.
[09:59] Toru
    I've heard that you're
    a dragoon cavalier.
[10:03] Toru
    Where is the dragoon now?
[10:05] Dominica
    Oh, that? It's not here now,
    for various reasons.
[10:09] Toru
    I see...
[10:11] Dominica
    But that must be ideal for you.
[10:14] Dominica
    I'm sure you'd have a
    hard time relaxing with a
[10:17] ---
    dragoon roaming around.
[10:20] Toru
    You're right. That would be scary.
[10:23] Toru
    On that subject,
    there's something I'd like to ask you.
[10:27] Toru
    You are one of the eight heroes who
    subjugated Emperor Gaz, aren't you?
[10:32] Dominica
    Yes.
[10:33] Toru
    Then you have some of
    his remains, right?
[10:38] Toru
    Could I trouble you to give them to me?
[10:41] Dominica
    Why would you want those?
[10:44] Toru
    To fulfill the objective
    of someone precious to me.
[10:50] Dominica
    Not your own?
[10:52] Toru
    My objective is to fulfill
    that person's wishes.
[11:07] Dominica
    Now I understand.
[11:08] ---
    I thought you seemed like no amateur.
[11:11] Dominica
    I do indeed have some of
    the emperor's remains.
[11:15] Dominica
    If you want them, you'll have
    to defeat me and take them.
[11:18] Dominica
    It just so happens I've been
    looking for someone to fight.
[11:28] Akari
    Someone precious... Someone
    precious... Someone precious...
[11:30] Toru
    Akari, what's with you?
[11:32] Akari
    Someone precious... Someone precious...
    Someone precious...
[11:40] Toru
    Okay, I'm sorry for turning the
    discussion toward fighting!
[11:44] Toru
    What choice did I have?
[11:46] Toru
    I doubt you ever would have made
    the decision to fight Dominica.
[11:52] Toru
    If we dawdle around here,
[11:53] ---
    that cavalier called Gillette
    may catch up to us.
[11:59] Toru
    What?
[12:00] ---
    Aren't you angry that I
    volunteered us to fight?
[12:03] Chaika
    N-No!
[12:05] Akari
    Brother.
[12:06] Toru
    Oh, Akari! About our battle strategy...
[12:09] Akari
    You like that flat-chested,
    waistless little stump?
[12:14] Toru
    What are you talking about?
[12:15] Akari
    I don't understand you.
[12:17] Toru
    I don't understand you.
[12:20] Toru
    Oh, yeah... When I said
    "someone precious to me,"
[12:24] ---
    it was just a figure of speech.
[12:25] Akari
    Figure...
[12:27] Akari
    Yet another body you're chasing?
[12:29] Toru
    No!
[12:30] Toru
    I mean... Chaika gave
    me a goal to strive for.
[12:34] Toru
    I thought I was just
    a washed-up saboteur,
[12:37] Toru
    doomed to rot away for the rest of my life,
[12:39] ---
    never using the techniques I learned...
[12:41] Toru
    Plus, I feel like I owe her.
[12:44] Toru
    That's all.
[12:47] Chaika
    Toru...
[12:49] Chaika
    Love... confession?
[12:51] Toru
    You need to learn to listen!
[12:59] Chaika
    Toru... About last night...
[13:02] Chaika
    Apology.
[13:05] Chaika
    Said... use force, not good, ungrateful.
[13:10] Toru
    Oh... it's okay.
[13:11] Toru
    I'm sorry.
[13:13] Toru
    I was a little harsh, too.
[13:20] Toru
    Okay,
[13:21] Toru
    shall we work out a plan, then?
[13:23] Chaika
    Yes!
[13:32] Dominica
    Did you wait long?
[13:33] Toru
    Not at all. Ready?
[13:35] Dominica
    Anytime.
[13:36] Toru
    We may end up killing you by mistake.
[13:40] Toru
    Would you tell us where
    we can find the remains?
[13:44] Dominica
    Don't worry.
[13:45] ---
    I won't be killed by kids like you.
[13:48] Dominica
    You saw the magic projector
    in the courtyard, didn't you?
[13:50] Toru
    Yeah. The thing projecting
    your image, right?
[13:54] Dominica
    They're inside that.
[13:55] Toru
    Understood.
[13:57] Dominica
    Now, let us fight in earnest.
[14:02] Toru
    I am steel.
[14:03] Toru
    Steel knows no fear. Steel knows no doubt.
[14:07] Toru
    When faced with my enemy, I hesitate not.
[14:10] Toru
    I am a weapon to destroy these.
[14:13] Toru
    Iron-Blood Transformation!
[14:17] (Flashback) Akari
    Something strange about Dominica?
[14:19] (Flashback) Toru
    Yeah. That thing isn't Dominica.
[14:22] (Flashback) Toru
    If she's one of the eight heroes,
[14:24] (Flashback) ---
    why wasn't she surprised
    to see Chaika alive?
[14:28] (Flashback) Toru
    Remember, Count Abarth was shocked.
[14:31] (Flashback) Akari
    You have a point.
[14:33] (Flashback) Toru
    Chaika, how'd your
    magic investigation go?
[14:35] (Flashback) Chaika
    Magic investigation, inside mansion.
[14:37] (Flashback) Chaika
    Something big here.
[14:40] (Flashback) Akari
    That can't be right.
[14:41] (Flashback) Akari
    We searched every corner of the mansion.
[14:44] (Flashback) Toru
    That's exactly why it's strange.
[14:58] Dominica
    Well-dodged.
[15:00] Toru
    Was that not supposed to be fatal?
[15:09] Dominica
    As I expected, you leave no openings.
[15:12] Toru
    I could say the same for you.
[15:13] Dominica
    Too bad for you, though.
[15:21] Akari
    Her power allows her to heal
    instantly when wounded.
[15:26] Toru
    The dragoon's magic, eh?
[15:28] Dominica
    My weak point is my forehead. Aim here.
[15:31] Dominica
    However, just stabbing
    me is meaningless.
[15:34] Dominica
    Unless you gouge deep enough to
    destroy my brain, I can heal.
[15:38] Toru
    You sure you should be telling me that?
[15:40] Dominica
    It's not as if you can do anything
    with that knowledge, anyway!
[16:08] Toru
    Chaika!
[16:28] Toru
    This thing's gotta go!
[16:33] Dominica
    What are you doing?!
[16:38] Dominica
    No! Stop!
[16:40] Toru
    I thought you were just
    a narcissist at first.
[16:43] Toru
    But your reaction proves that
    you're exactly what I imagined.
[16:47] Toru
    How long are you going
    to keep up the human act?
[16:49] Toru
    Where's the real Dominica?!
[16:51] Toru
    Did she leave you after the war?
[16:55] Toru
    Maybe she abandoned you,
[16:57] Toru
    but you still can't forget that
    Dominica fought by your side,
[17:00] Toru
    so you live surrounded
    by your master's image?
[17:03] Toru
    Poor creature!
[17:05] Dominica
    You're wrong!
[17:09] Toru
    How am I wrong?!
[17:15] Chaika
    Go now, suffering creature
    taking refuge inside.
[17:19] Chaika
    The Intruder!
[17:47] Toru
    So that's your true form?
[17:50] Dragoon
    No... This is the form you sought.
[18:19] Akari
    Looks like it's finally starting to work.
[18:21] Toru
    Your body can't move anymore.
[18:24] Toru
    The poison Akari planted in you
    should be starting to take effect.
[18:28] Dragoon
    Poison can't affect me!
[18:31] Chaika
    Fly, blade! The Ripper!
[19:02] Toru
    I am man.
[19:09] Toru
    You said your forehead was
    your weak point, right?
[19:12] Toru
    Where's the real Dominica?
[19:14] Dragoon
    She's dead.
[19:16] Toru
    Did you kill her?
[19:18] Dragoon
    No. She was ill.
[19:21] Dragoon
    The end of the war changed us.
[19:24] Dragoon
    Left with no purpose after the war,
[19:26] ---
    Dominica prematurely died of illness.
[19:28] Dragoon
    I was left alone.
[19:32] Dragoon
    The dragoon that was so
    sought-after during the war was
[19:35] ---
    no longer wanted by anyone.
[19:48] Dragoon
    I didn't want to forget
    the sight of Dominica,
[19:53] ---
    the one person who needed me.
[19:57] Dragoon
    Dominica longed to fight,
    even until her final moments.
[20:02] Dragoon
    And that's why you wanted to fight, too?
[20:04] Dragoon
    Yes.
[20:06] Toru
    If you wanted to fulfill Dominica's wish,
[20:10] Toru
    that must have become your purpose.
[20:16] Toru
    I'm very much the same.
[20:19] Dragoon
    Why won't you finish me off?
[20:21] Toru
    The point of this fight
    wasn't to kill you.
[20:24] Toru
    As promised, I'll be taking the remains.
[20:45] Toru
    Let's go.
[20:57] Fredrica
    Really, I wonder what I should do now.
[21:01] Fredrica
    I'd like to have something
    to live for, you know?
[21:04] Fredrica
    So, Toru, I've decided that my
    new goal will be to kill you.
[21:09] Fredrica
    At any rate, I am no longer Dominica,
    but Fredrica. It's a pleasure!
[21:15] Toru
    Ow!
[21:17] Toru
    Huh?
[21:18] Fredrica
    I'll heal your wounds for now,
[21:20] Fredrica
    so I can beat you fair and square later.
[21:27] Toru
    Wait, doesn't that mean she
    overheard everything we said?!
[21:32] Chaika
    Toru, cat, innocent.
[21:34] Toru
    That's not a cat! It's Fredrica!
[21:39] Toru
    And why is someone who said
    she'd kill me riding with us?
[21:43] Chaika
    More company, journey twice as fun!
[23:25] Chaika
    Fredrica, new friend!
[23:27] Chaika
    Dragoon, strongest!
[23:29] Chaika
    Double encouraging!
[23:30] Chaika
    But Fredrica, very willful.
[23:33] Chaika
    Sometimes, wanders off alone.
