***SIGN*** Chaika the Coffin Princess
**[01:51] Akari**
That's far enough, Brother.
**[01:53] Toru**
What are you doing, Akari?
**[01:56] Akari**
I know that you have the most active
libido of anyone on this continent.
**[02:01] Akari**
However, I cannot allow you
**[02:04] Akari**
to disregard your sister and violate Chaika.
**[02:08] Toru**
I don't even know where
to begin correcting you...
**[02:10] Toru**
But I'm not doing anything improper.
**[02:12] Akari**
You're too modest, Brother.
**[02:14] Akari**
A defenseless girl sleeping before you
**[02:16] Akari**
is like raw meat before a wild beast.
**[02:20] Toru**
What do you think I am?
**[02:28] Toru**
Oh, it's you, Guy.
**[02:29] Guy**
You remember me? I commend you.
**[02:32] Chaika**
Unknown person!
**[02:33] Toru**
Well? Did you come with some
information for us again?
**[02:37] Guy**
I have information on the next hero.
**[02:40] Guy**
Simon Scania, a wizard of
the Koenigsegg Empire.
**[02:45] Guy**
His existence was last
verified four years ago,
**[02:48] Guy**
in the town of Rademio,
about three days from here by vehicle.
**[02:52] Toru**
Four years ago?
**[02:54] Guy**
That may be a clue to help you locate him.
**[02:57] Toru**
You actually know all there
is to know, don't you?
**[03:00] Guy**
About what?
**[03:01] Toru**
The locations of the remains.
**[03:02] Guy**
I, at least, do not.
**[03:06] Guy**
I am no more than a messenger.
**[03:09] Toru**
I'm getting the unpleasant feeling
that we're being deceived.
**[03:12] Guy**
Do you? That's good.
**[03:14] Guy**
You should feel untrusting and concerned.
**[03:17] Guy**
That is desirable.
***SIGN*** The Valley of No Return
**[03:27] Merchant**
Come on up and have a look!
**[03:29] Merchant**
We've got magic fuel of the
**[03:30] ---**
highest purity, freshly dug
up from the southern mines!
**[03:35] Chaika**
Magic fuel, so many!
**[03:38] Chaika**
Buy this, and this!
**[03:40] Toru**
The Valley of No Return?
**[03:42] Guy**
It was always a place where
fog tended to gather,
**[03:45] Guy**
but since about four years ago,
it no longer clears.
**[03:49] Akari**
Four years ago?
**[03:50] Toru**
And people who enter that
valley never return?
**[03:53] Toru**
Are there Fayla there?
**[03:55] Guy**
I've never heard anything about that.
**[03:57] Guy**
People who go there to
find out never come back.
**[04:01] Guy**
No one knows if they're alive or dead.
**[04:05] Gillette**
Missing? Simon Scania?
**[04:08] Konrad**
*Yes. He was a wizard employed by the army,*
**[04:12] Konrad**
*but he disappeared right after the war ended.*
**[04:15] Gillette**
But a man who was called
a hero, disappearing?
**[04:19] Gillette**
After the recent matter with Count Abarth,
**[04:21] Gillette**
and and the revelation that
Dominica Scoda died of illness...
**[04:24] Gillette**
Something seems off about
what became of the eight
**[04:27] ---**
brilliant heroes after the war.
**[04:29] Konrad**
*That's true.*
**[04:30] Konrad**
There are even rumors that they
were cursed by Emperor Gaz.
**[04:34] Gillette**
*Cursed?*
**[04:35] Konrad**
There were many dubious legends
**[04:37] ---**
about him, such as that he lived 500 years
**[04:39] Konrad**
or that he had the magical
talents of a monster.
**[04:42] Gillette**
*Rumors aside,*
**[04:44] Gillette**
*from a financial perspective, as well,*
**[04:46] ---**
* Emperor Gaz's remains are unparalleled*
* as magic fuel of the highest purity.*
**[04:50] Gillette**
* Might obtaining them cause one*
* to lose his better judgment?*
**[04:55] Konrad**
It may be possible.
**[04:56] Gillette**
Regardless, if Chaika's group hopes
to make contact with Simon Scania,
**[05:01] Gillette**
they are bound to show up here in Rademio.
**[05:05] Gillette**
We will continue the investigation.
**[05:07] Konrad**
*I'm counting on you.*
**[05:09] Nikolai**
Don't!
**[05:11] Nikolai**
He's using Fuchan to search the area.
**[05:13] ---**
Don't interrupt.
**[05:14] Vivi**
That's why I'm testing to
make sure he's concentrating!
**[05:17] Nikolai**
Well, don't test him by stabbing
his head with a needle!
**[05:21] Gillette**
Vivi.
**[05:22] Vivi**
Yes?
**[05:23] Gillette**
What is a needle to you would
be a sword to me, correct?
**[05:28] Vivi**
Yes.
**[05:29] Gillette**
Then you shouldn't point
it at someone so easily.
**[05:31] Gillette**
Weapons can help people,
but they can also harm them.
**[05:35] Gillette**
You must be careful in
choosing when to use them.
**[05:37] Vivi**
Yes, sir.
**[05:38] Matheus**
Found them! Gillette-dono!
**[05:40] Matheus**
Oh, Gillette-dono...
**[05:42] Matheus**
I've located Chaika Gaz and the saboteurs.
**[05:44] Gillette**
Where?
**[05:45] Matheus**
On the opposite side of the town from here.
**[05:50] Chaika**
Simon Scania location, Valley of No Return?
**[05:53] Toru**
Yeah. It fits the timing
of his disappearance.
**[05:56] Toru**
I'd say it's possible.
**[06:03] Toru**
Chaika, make ready your Gundo
to fire at any time.
**[06:07] Chaika**
Right.
**[06:08] Toru**
Come out!
**[06:21] Gillette**
I'm impressed you could
detect us at this distance.
**[06:24] Akari**
Four...
**[06:25] Toru**
One of them should be a wizard.
**[06:27] Gillette**
Surrender.
**[06:29] Gillette**
We're not interested in a meaningless fight.
**[06:30] Toru**
In your dreams!
**[06:33] Gillette**
Chaika Gaz, I ask of you:
**[06:36] Gillette**
What do you intend to do with
the remains of Emperor Gaz?
**[06:39] Chaika**
Father, funeral.
**[06:41] Gillette**
A funeral?
**[06:42] Gillette**
That's... That's all you wanted to do?
**[06:48] Vivi**
We mustn't believe her.
**[06:49] Vivi**
It's just a ruse to get away from us.
**[06:52] Toru**
Akari, will you look after Chaika?
**[06:55] Toru**
I'm taking out Gillette.
**[06:57] Toru**
Not much chance I'll win, though.
**[06:58] Akari**
Understood.
**[07:01] Gillette**
You intend to fight, no matter what?
**[07:04] Gillette**
Then I will devote all my
strength to settling this.
**[07:08] Gillette**
I, Cavalier Albéric Gillette,
declare war on you!
**[07:13] Toru**
Let's go!
**[07:46] Chaika**
Toru!
**[07:49] Fredrica**
What? What's going on here?
**[07:52] Fredrica**
What are you guys doing?
**[07:54] Fredrica**
Wait, are you killing each other?!
**[07:57] Fredrica**
No fair, Toru! Let me in on it!
**[08:09] Gillette**
A dragoon?!
**[08:10] Nikolai**
It's on their side?!
**[08:12] Toru**
We're not doing this for fun!
**[08:13] Toru**
We want to escape! Help us!
**[08:16] Dragoon**
Huh? What about killing?
**[08:18] Toru**
You don't want me to be killed
by someone else, do you?!
**[08:22] Dragoon**
Oh, fine.
**[08:36] Dragoon**
Okay, here we go.
**[08:45] Gillette**
I never expected a dragoon...
**[08:48] Toru**
You saved our skins!
**[08:49] ---**
Any later, and we would've been in trouble!
**[08:51] Akari**
Chaika, is something wrong?
**[08:53] Chaika**
All magic fuel, left behind...
**[08:56] Toru**
Just buy some more.
**[08:57] Dragoon**
Well? Want to go back by vehicle?
**[08:59] Toru**
No, with them around,
I don't want to go near the town.
**[09:03] Toru**
Head north.
**[09:05] Toru**
Beyond the forest, there should
be a valley of deep fog.
**[09:13] Chaika**
Efun... Heluste... Ru...
Belguil... Fai... Sev...
**[09:17] Chaika**
Come, resounding perception.
**[09:19] Chaika**
The Locator!
**[09:30] Chaika**
Unclear.
**[09:31] Toru**
What?
**[09:32] Chaika**
Search magic ineffective.
**[09:34] Chaika**
Probably also magic.
**[09:35] Toru**
Magic? You mean the fog?
**[09:38] Chaika**
Yes.
**[09:39] Toru**
Is that even possible?
**[09:40] Chaika**
Possible in theory.
**[09:42] Chaika**
But great power. Magic source needed.
**[09:46] Akari**
Remains?
**[09:47] Chaika**
Yes. Possible.
**[09:48] Toru**
But why?
**[09:50] Toru**
I guess we can't just head
down there carelessly.
**[09:53] Toru**
Fredrica.
**[09:54] Toru**
I want to take a look from above.
**[09:56] Toru**
Can you carry us and fly over the valley?
**[09:59] Fredrica**
I don't want to.
**[10:01] Fredrica**
Because you won't keep your promise to me.
**[10:04] Fredrica**
Last time, you said you'd
fight me if I helped you, too.
**[10:08] Toru**
But that was...
**[10:09] Toru**
I never said I wouldn't fight you! Someday—
**[10:12] Fredrica**
When is "someday"? Today? Tomorrow?
**[10:14] Toru**
Just... someday, okay?
**[10:16] Akari**
Brother, are you okay with this?
**[10:18] Toru**
Huh? Hey! What are you doing?!
**[10:20] Chaika**
Remains down here! Search!
**[10:24] Toru**
Oh, come on...
**[10:25] Toru**
Now I have no choice.
**[10:33] Toru**
Chaika!
**[10:35] Toru**
Hang on!
**[10:36] Akari**
Brother!
**[10:41] Toru**
You should be fine now.
**[10:43] Chaika**
Grateful!
**[10:45] Akari**
Uh-oh.
**[10:46] Akari**
Brother, what do we do?
**[10:47] Toru**
There's nothing we *can* do!
**[10:49] Toru**
Damn it!
**[11:22] Chaika**
Is something wrong?
**[11:25] Toru**
I had that dream from before again.
**[11:29] Toru**
I still think about it sometimes.
**[11:32] Toru**
When we fell from that cliff,
**[11:34] Toru**
Akari should've been the
one to survive, not me...
**[11:38] Chaika**
Toru, don't blame yourself.
**[11:41] Toru**
I know.
**[11:43] Chaika**
I was able to come this far
because you were always with me.
**[11:48] Chaika**
You're more important to me than anyone.
**[11:54] Toru**
I feel the same.
**[11:55] Toru**
If I hadn't met you, my days
wouldn't have felt so complete.
**[12:01] Toru**
Because you were with me, I...
**[12:05] Toru**
I'm grateful to you.
**[12:06] Chaika**
Toru...
**[12:14] Fredrica**
What is this?
**[12:16] Chaika**
Incomprehensible.
**[12:17] Akari**
Chaika, maybe I should've gotten
rid of you sooner, after all.
**[12:22] Chaika**
Akari, please, calm!
**[12:24] Chaika**
Me, here! That, not me!
**[12:26] Akari**
Then what is that?
**[12:29] Chaika**
Details unclear. Only possibility, magic.
**[12:33] Akari**
Magic?
**[12:34] Chaika**
Illusion. Mind control. Multiple effects.
**[12:38] Akari**
An illusion...
**[12:40] Fredrica**
So you're saying Toru is seeing
his own fantasies as reality?
**[12:42] Toru**
Hey, wait up!
**[12:44] Chaika**
Right. Mind influences, fog transforms.
**[12:46] Toru**
Wait!
**[12:51] Toru**
Here. Say, "Aah."
**[12:52] ---**
Aah.
**[12:56] Chaika**
Stupid Toru! Stupid, stupid!
**[12:58] Fredrica**
That Chaika and the building are all fog?
**[13:02] Akari**
But the fact that he's
seeing illusions like those
**[13:05] Akari**
must mean that such desires
exist in Brother's heart.
**[13:10] Akari**
Unforgivable.
**[13:11] Akari**
We must wake him immediately.
**[13:14] Akari**
Chaika, remove this barrier.
**[13:17] Akari**
I'm going to save Brother.
**[13:19] Chaika**
Danger... I think.
**[13:21] Chaika**
Me, Akari, Fredrica only safe
inside protective barrier.
**[13:26] Chaika**
Remove, contact with fog immediately.
**[13:28] Chaika**
Minds controlled, like Toru.
**[13:31] Fredrica**
We can't breathe the fog in?
**[13:33] Akari**
So we just have to stand here and watch?
**[13:36] Chaika**
Only one way.
**[13:38] Chaika**
Toru, come here. Chance come.
**[13:40] Chaika**
Remove magic, grab Toru,
activate magic again.
**[13:47] Chaika**
Our journey will be over soon, won't it?
**[13:50] Toru**
Yeah. Only one of your
father's remains is left.
**[13:53] Toru**
Once we defeat Albéric Gillette
and take it, it's over.
**[13:56] Chaika**
Can you win?
**[13:58] Toru**
It won't be easy.
**[13:59] Toru**
But there's no other choice.
**[14:01] Chaika**
It doesn't matter anymore, Toru.
**[14:04] Chaika**
Gathering the remains doesn't matter anymore.
**[14:07] Toru**
Doesn't matter?
**[14:08] Toru**
What do you mean?
**[14:10] Chaika**
I mean...
**[14:19] Gillette**
Whoa!
**[14:22] Gillette**
I've come for you, Chaika.
**[14:24] Chaika**
Albéric!
**[14:26] Toru**
"Albéric"?
**[14:30] Chaika**
I'm going to marry Albéric!
**[14:32] Toru**
What? Marry?
**[14:34] Toru**
But what about the remains?!
**[14:36] Chaika**
Well, if I join Albéric,
I'll get the last one, right?
**[14:40] Gillette**
Here. For you.
**[14:42] Chaika**
Oh, I'm so happy!
**[14:43] Chaika**
We're holding the ceremony
after Father's funeral is over.
**[14:47] Toru**
But, you and I were...
**[14:49] Gillette**
When you're the princess of a kingdom,
**[14:51] Gillette**
you have to choose a marriage
partner of proper lineage.
**[14:54] Gillette**
You can't hang around with the
likes of a saboteur forever.
**[14:58] Chaika**
You said it.
**[15:00] Chaika**
Well, thanks for everything, Toru.
**[15:03] Chaika**
Goodbye!
**[15:04] Gillette**
So long!
**[15:11] Toru**
Wait... Wait, Chaika!
**[15:14] Toru**
Chaika! Wait!
**[15:16] Toru**
You're... You're just going to leave me?!
**[15:21] Fredrica**
Toru's coming this way.
**[15:23] Akari**
Chaika, remove the barrier.
**[15:25] Chaika**
R-Right!
**[15:25] Toru**
Chaika! Don't leave me alone!
**[15:35] Toru**
Chaika!
**[15:38] Toru**
Chaika?
**[15:40] Akari**
Brother, snap out of it!
**[15:44] Toru**
Akari?
**[15:46] Fredrica**
Hey! Snap out of it!
**[15:51] Toru**
H-Huh?
**[15:54] Toru**
It was all an illusion?
**[15:56] Toru**
Sorry for the trouble.
**[15:58] Fredrica**
When you all fell, you were
the only one I couldn't catch.
**[16:02] Akari**
So, what do we do now?
**[16:04] Toru**
If we leave the barrier,
we'll get trapped in illusions again.
**[16:07] Toru**
We can't move...
**[16:09] Chaika**
Move, possible.
**[16:11] Chaika**
Shoot interference magic into fog.
**[16:13] Chaika**
Partially obstruct opponent's magic.
**[16:16] Toru**
So we'd be able to walk through
areas where you fire that magic?
**[16:20] Chaika**
Right.
**[16:21] Chaika**
Use magic, move, repeat.
**[16:23] Akari**
I see. From there, we'd only need
to destroy the opponent's Gundo.
**[16:27] Toru**
Okay, let's try it.
**[16:29] Fredrica**
But what do you suppose the
wizard is using this magic for?
**[16:35] Toru**
We just have to catch him and ask...
**[16:37] Toru**
If he's alive.
**[16:40] Chaika**
Ruler that controls...
**[16:42] Chaika**
Come, The Commander!
**[16:49] Toru**
Let's go!
**[16:54] Chaika**
Eim... Halmus... Rom...
**[16:57] Chaika**
Ruler that controls...
**[16:58] Chaika**
Come, The Commander!
**[17:22] Toru**
*That's it!*
**[17:23] Toru**
Chaika! Can you see it?
**[17:24] Chaika**
Yes!
**[17:25] Chaika**
Naint, milta, ru...
**[17:27] Chaika**
Fly, blade!
**[17:28] Chaika**
The Ripper!
**[17:54] Akari**
Looks like the magic has been undone.
**[17:57] Toru**
Where is Simon Scania?
**[17:59] Akari**
Brother.
**[18:03] Toru**
Is that...
**[18:05] Simon**
Who's there?
**[18:09] Simon**
Sheesh. Barging into people's
houses like that...
**[18:14] Toru**
Are you Simon Scania?
**[18:15] Toru**
You live here?
**[18:17] Simon**
It broke...
**[18:19] Simon**
Useless piece of junk.
**[18:21] Simon**
Magic ain't worth jack when it really counts.
**[18:27] Simon**
Want some?
**[18:28] Toru**
No, thanks.
**[18:30] Toru**
You're Simon Scania, right?
**[18:32] Simon**
Simon? No.
**[18:35] Simon**
I'm not Simon.
**[18:37] Fredrica**
It's definitely him.
**[18:38] Fredrica**
One of the eight heroes looked like this guy.
**[18:41] Fredrica**
He's changed a lot, though.
**[18:43] Simon**
I won't go back to the army. No way in hell.
**[18:47] Simon**
The enemy discovered my unit's location.
**[18:49] Simon**
I almost died.
**[18:51] Toru**
Almost died?
**[18:52] Simon**
They all died, other than me.
**[18:55] Simon**
I know who it was...
**[18:57] Simon**
It was Marco!
**[18:58] ---**
He sold us out to the enemy!
**[19:01] Simon**
That bastard pretended to be my friend!
**[19:04] Akari**
So it was Marco's fault.
**[19:05] Toru**
Yeah. It was that bastard Marco.
**[19:07] Toru**
He's probably talking about the war.
**[19:10] Simon**
He even took Elena, my beloved wife, from me!
**[19:15] Simon**
Every damn one of them! All traitors!
**[19:18] Simon**
Die!
**[19:19] Toru**
I get it.
**[19:20] Toru**
He was betrayed by his friend and his wife,
**[19:23] Toru**
so he deserted the army and came
to this valley to live alone.
**[19:26] Akari**
Then what was that magic before?
**[19:30] Simon**
Anyone who gets deceived is a fool.
**[19:32] Simon**
They all cry, lose hope,
and waste away to bones.
**[19:38] Toru**
He tries to show people illusions
of friends betraying them
**[19:41] Toru**
to put them through what he went through.
**[19:44] Toru**
Like what happened to me.
**[19:47] Chaika**
Return remains.
**[19:50] Chaika**
Me, daughter of Gaz.
**[19:53] Simon**
Gaz's daughter?
**[19:56] Chaika**
Father, funeral. Need remains.
**[19:59] Simon**
His remains?
**[20:02] Simon**
Those are the most useless
pieces of junk in this world!
**[20:04] Simon**
Just take the damn thing!
**[20:21] Toru**
Hey.
**[20:23] Toru**
We'll be taking this.
**[20:26] Toru**
What? You want it?
**[20:28] Simon**
N-No! I don't need that thing!
**[20:31] Simon**
Take it!
**[20:34] Toru**
Hey, is climbing the cliff
the only way back to Rademio?
**[20:58] Toru**
It just doesn't feel like it's over.
**[21:01] Toru**
He was called a hero and obtained
a fortune, plus the remains.
**[21:06] Toru**
Not a very happy ending.
**[21:09] Toru**
Guess it does no good for me
to worry about it, though.
**[21:12] Chaika**
Toru, nice.
**[21:13] Toru**
Nah, I wouldn't say "nice"...
**[21:17] Chaika**
Toru...
**[21:19] Chaika**
Illusion... Toru and me, together...
**[21:23] Toru**
Oh, that?
**[21:25] Toru**
Yeah, well... Don't worry about it.
**[21:28] Chaika**
I no betray. Never.
**[21:32] Toru**
That'd never happen anyway, right?
**[21:34] Toru**
Me and you being, well... Right?
**[21:37] Toru**
It couldn't possibly happen.
**[21:39] Toru**
I mean, I guess I saw you
because Akari and Fredrica were
**[21:42] ---**
out of the question...
**[21:47] Akari**
Brother, why am I out of the question?
**[21:50] Toru**
Huh? Well, you are, aren't you?
**[21:52] Toru**
Right, Chaika?
**[21:54] Toru**
Chaika?
**[21:55] Chaika**
Driving.
**[21:57] Toru**
Wait... Are you upset?
**[21:59] Chaika**
Driving!
**[22:01] Toru**
Huh? Hey...
**[22:06] Toru**
What?!
**[23:25] Chaika**
Empire of mountain pass?
**[23:27] Chaika**
Simple people, princess.
**[23:30] Chaika**
And all from same homeland.
**[23:32] Chaika**
But me, almost no memories of empire.
