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.
[23:36] Chaika
    Next week, episode 8:
    "Empire of Consolation."
