SIGN    Chaika the Coffin Princess
[01:34] Guy
    Well, today's the end of
    war anniversary festival...
[01:37] Guy
    Have you seen all the pyrospheres
    going up all over the continent?
[01:40] Guy
    All the wizards are saying they
    need magic fuel to make those,
[01:44] Guy
    so they bought up tons of it.
[01:47] Guy
    This is all I've got left.
[01:49] Toru
    That's it?
[01:51] Chaika
    Very, very little...
[01:52] Toru
    Then, would you be able to
    grind us some fossil fuel?
[01:57] Guy
    Just hang on. When I finish
    with these customers,
[02:00] Guy
    I'll take you to the festival.
[02:05] Guy
    Stop that!
[02:06] Guy
    Grinding it will take some time.
[02:09] Guy
    Could you come back tomorrow?
[02:11] Toru
    Tomorrow?
[02:13] Akari
    Are there any other shops around
    here that sell magic fuel?
[02:17] Guy
    Well, there are...
[02:19] Guy
    But they're most likely all closed today,
[02:21] Guy
    or just as low on stocks as I am.
[02:24] Toru
    That's a problem...
[02:25] Guy
    I guess I can direct you
    to a few of them, though.
[02:30] ---
    Welcome! Hey, there!
[02:36] Toru
    This isn't good.
[02:37] Chaika
    I want enjoy festival!
[02:40] Akari
    They may be circulating wanted posters.
[02:43] Akari
    We'd best not.
[02:44] Chaika
    Extreme disappointment...
[02:46] Akari
    If we could only get a tiny bit of magic fuel
[02:48] Akari
    and there are no rumors of any heroes,
[02:51] Akari
    we may want to think twice
    before rushing blindly ahead.
[02:55] Toru
    I don't expect much,
[02:56] Toru
    but we might as well try these other shops.
SIGN    The Value of Memories
[03:05] Toru
    Chaika,
[03:06] Toru
    how far will the vehicle go on
    the magic fuel we've got left?
[03:12] Chaika
    About half day, probably.
[03:14] Toru
    I see...
[03:15] Chaika
    Little magic fuel...
[03:17] Chaika
    But another way possible.
[03:20] Toru
    Another way?
[03:21] Chaika
    Can use own memories.
[03:23] Toru
    You mean you can use your own
[03:25] ---
    memories as a substitute for magic fuel?
[03:27] Chaika
    Yes.
[03:28] Chaika
    Can operate Gundo, vehicle,
    using thoughts, memories.
[03:32] Toru
    You did mention...
[03:34] (Flashback) Chaika
    Memories missing.
[03:36] (Flashback) Chaika
    Have memories before war.
[03:39] (Flashback) Chaika
    End of war, vague.
[03:42] Toru
    How many of your memories
    did you use before now?
[03:46] Toru
    And when was the last time you used them?
[03:51] Toru
    Before you met me?
    Or have you used them since then?
[03:55] Chaika
    Not after, probably.
[03:57] Toru
    Don't use them again.
[04:00] Toru
    That can't be good for you, right?
[04:05] Toru
    In that case, we should get together
    as much magic fuel as we can.
[04:09] Akari
    Shall we visit the shops we were
    directed to before it gets dark?
[04:13] Toru
    Yeah.
[04:14] Toru
    We'll leave the vehicle and search on foot.
[04:17] Chaika
    Understood.
[04:26] Vivi
    We've got just about everything on the list.
[04:28] Gillette
    Yes.
[04:30] Vivi
    It's been a long time since we went
    anywhere for any purpose besides Chaika.
[04:34] Gillette
    That's true.
[04:38] Vivi
    It looks like suppressing the civil
    disputes up north will take some time.
[04:43] Gillette
    Yes... But if a peaceful solution can be—
[04:46] Woman
    Thief!
[04:53] Vivi
    Stay still!
[04:55] Guy
    You little...
[04:56] Gillette
    Now, return the wallet you
    stole from this woman.
[04:59] Guy
    I didn't steal it! I only took it back!
[05:01] Woman
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[05:03] ---
    That wallet is undoubtedly mine!
[05:05] Guy
    Shut up!
[05:06] Guy
    You squeeze all you can out of us commoners!
[05:09] Woman
    You want to get defiant now?
[05:12] Woman
    Honestly!
[05:14] Guy
    No harm can come of taking a
    little from you damn nobles
[05:17] Guy
    who only care about protecting
    your own cozy, little lives!
[05:21] Guy
    Based on your looks,
    you're a noble, too, aren't you?
[05:24] Guy
    A cavalier, at that?
[05:26] Guy
    You wouldn't understand how we feel!
[05:30] Gillette
    You're right that I don't understand,
[05:32] Gillette
    but your actions make your
    desperation quite clear.
[05:36] Gillette
    If you are struggling with money,
[05:37] Gillette
    then send the Guild a
    request for commercial—
[05:39] Guy
    I did that months ago!
[05:42] Guy
    But there's no decent work
    for a has-been soldier!
[05:47] Gillette
    Still, stealing a wallet is—
[05:49] Guy
    Shut up!
[05:50] Guy
    Hearing that from people like you,
    out here shopping without a care,
[05:53] ---
    just pisses me off more!
[05:55] Vivi
    Be quiet already!
[05:56] Guy
    Ow...
[05:58] Vivi
    Your backtalk and excuses are pathetic!
[06:00] Vivi
    Before you curse your own fate,
[06:02] Vivi
    try searching for the path you should follow!
[06:04] Gillette
    Vivi, let him go.
[06:07] Gillette
    We should be celebrating
    the end of the war today.
[06:12] Guy
    Justice alone won't fill a man's belly!
[06:21] Zita
    His sense of justice?
[06:23] Nikolai
    Yeah. Sometimes, when I'm
    watching the captain,
[06:25] ---
    I get an anxious feeling.
[06:27] Zita
    What do you mean?
[06:28] Nikolai
    It's like he's too straightforward.
[06:30] Nikolai
    You know, no matter who he's up
    against, he faces them head-on.
[06:32] Zita
    That is true...
[06:34] Leonardo
    But it was the captain's straightforward
    nature that saved me.
[06:38] Leonardo
    That's why I decided to work for this team.
[06:41] Zita
    You're being unusually frank, Leo.
[06:45] Leonardo
    I'm a demi-human soldier created for war.
[06:50] Leonardo
    My purpose is to take dangerous positions,
[06:52] Leonardo
    like the front line and ambushes,
    so humans don't have to.
[06:56] Leonardo
    That's the kind of treatment
    I've received all my life.
[07:00] Leonardo
    But the captain is different.
[07:02] Leonardo
    He doesn't force any dangerous
    missions on me alone.
[07:06] Nikolai
    Well, I do agree with that.
[07:09] Nikolai
    Being a mercenary, I spent every day fighting
[07:13] Nikolai
    for whoever hired me, regardless of justice.
[07:17] Nikolai
    The captain's sincerity gives
    people a favorable impression.
[07:21] Leonardo
    But the captain hasn't been himself lately.
[07:24] Zita
    That's true...
[07:26] Zita
    Since he met that Chaika, was it?
[07:28] Zita
    Just recently, he said he was going
    to research Chaika and Emperor Gaz,
[07:31] Zita
    and shut himself in the
    office for a whole day.
[07:35] Matheus
    Maybe his heart is wavering?
[07:38] Leonardo
    Like, his sense of justice is clouded?
[07:40] Matheus
    No, more like vague doubts
    as to what that "justice" is.
[07:46] Nikolai
    Hey, aren't we being unusually serious today?
[07:49] Nikolai
    Especially you, Leo.
[07:51] Leonardo
    I wonder why...
[07:53] Leonardo
    Probably because it's the
    end of war anniversary.
[07:55] Leonardo
    Hey, by the way, where
    are the captain and Vivi?
[07:58] Nikolai
    Zita gave them some time alone.
[08:01] Zita
    I hope Vivi's feelings get through
    to him, at least a little.
[08:04] Leonardo
    It won't happen.
[08:05] ---
    The captain is really
    dense about those things.
[08:08] Nikolai
    You said it.
[08:11] Nikolai
    Curren-san?
[08:14] Curren
    Where's Captain Gillette?
[08:16] Nikolai
    He's not here, but he should return soon.
[08:18] Nikolai
    Is something the matter?
[08:20] Curren
    Urgent orders from Chief Konrad.
[08:26] Vivi
    Gillette-sama?
[08:28] Gillette
    There are those in the world
[08:29] ---
    who can't rejoice in the
    end of war anniversary.
[08:38] Vivi
    Um, I'd like to buy some snacks
    before we return. May I?
[08:42] Gillette
    Yes, that's fine.
[08:45] Vivi
    It's okay every now and then, right?
[08:47] Vivi
    I'll get enough for everyone.
[08:49] Vivi
    Would they like something sweet?
[08:52] Vivi
    "Fortune cookies"?
[08:54] Woman
    Would you like some? They tell your future.
[08:57] Vivi
    Gillette-sama, shall we get these?
[09:00] Gillette
    Okay, we'll take some.
[09:04] Woman
    Please feel free to choose your own.
[09:16] Gillette
    "A sword drawn at night can
    never again be sheathed."
[09:21] Vivi
    That's rather cryptic.
[09:23] Gillette
    Yes...
[09:25] Gillette
    But I'll take this fortune
    to heart and live by it.
[09:29] Gillette
    What does yours say?
[09:31] Vivi
    Mine says...
[09:32] Vivi
    "It is your unchanging love
    that will save your loved one."
[09:38] Vivi
    What does that mean?
[09:40] Gillette
    Whomever you love must be very fortunate.
[09:53] Vivi
    Urgent orders.
[09:55] Gillette
    Let's head back, Vivi.
[09:56] Vivi
    Yes, sir!
[10:10] Akari
    No luck at this shop, either?
[10:11] Toru
    Oh, well. Let's try the next one.
[10:22] Toru
    Excuse me!
[10:25] Guy
    Can I help you?
[10:26] Toru
    Do you have any magic fuel?
[10:29] Guy
    No, I'm already sold out today.
[10:32] Toru
    I thought as much...
[10:35] Akari
    Peddlers, huh?
[10:38] Akari
    That brings back memories.
[10:39] Toru
    Yeah.
[10:41] Chaika
    Toru, Akari, past, peddlers?
[10:43] Toru
    We never had a past like that.
[10:45] Chaika
    What past like?
[10:48] Akari
    When Brother and I were children,
[10:51] Akari
    peddlers like them came to our village.
[10:54] Chaika
    Village? When children?
[10:56] Akari
    Yes.
[10:57] Chaika
    What like when children?
[10:59] Toru
    We had saboteur training every day.
[11:01] Chaika
    Training? What training like?
[11:04] Toru
    What was it like?
[11:11] Chaika
    That result of training?
[11:13] Chaika
    Any other training?
[11:15] Chaika
    What village like?
[11:19] Toru
    We were born in a remote,
    hidden village called Acura.
[11:25] Toru
    Kids there started training
    as soon as they could walk.
[11:31] Toru
    As kids, we dreamed only of proving
    our worth on the battlefield.
[11:36] Toru
    We learned saboteur techniques
    from older mentors, one by one.
[11:44] Toru
    Every day was like that.
[11:54] (Flashback) Shin
    What are you doing?
[11:55] (Flashback) Shin
    Why are you in such a hurry?
[11:58] (Flashback) Toru
    Shin...
[12:01] (Flashback) Toru
    I want to get on the battlefield and
    kill enemies as soon as I can, too!
[12:05] (Flashback) Toru
    I want to—
[12:06] (Flashback) Shin
    And as an inexperienced half-wit,
[12:09] (Flashback) Shin
    you'll be killed by someone even stronger.
[12:12] (Flashback) Shin
    You're not cut out to be a saboteur.
[12:15] (Flashback) Shin
    You'll understand someday.
[12:17] (Flashback) Shin
    I just hope it won't be too
    late by the time you do.
[12:27] (Flashback) Toru
    Ow...
[12:29] (Flashback) Akari
    Brother!
[12:31] (Flashback) Akari
    Brother! Brother! Brother! Brother!
[12:33] (Flashback) Toru
    Akari, get off! Get off me!
[12:37] Toru
    My mentor always said
[12:39] ---
    I was a half-wit who wasn't
    cut out to be a saboteur.
[12:44] Chaika
    Half-wit?
[12:45] Toru
    It means not good enough.
[12:47] Toru
    And he always called her stubborn.
[12:50] Akari
    Don't praise me, Brother.
    You'll make me blush.
[12:53] Toru
    That wasn't praise.
[12:55] Chaika
    Strict, harsh training?
[12:57] Akari
    It was indeed harsh,
[12:59] Akari
    but I competed with Brother in
    many things, and that was fun.
[13:04] Akari
    In the end, I always won.
[13:06] Toru
    Only because you wouldn't let
    a contest end until you won.
[13:10] Akari
    What? You mean you were losing on purpose?
[13:12] Akari
    I can't let this go! Fight me right now!
[13:15] Toru
    I don't think so.
[13:20] Akari
    I see. So you casually soak my clothes
[13:24] Akari
    in a wicked scheme to
    plaster them to my body?
[13:27] Toru
    What are—
[13:29] Toru
    Cut it out, Akari!
[13:30] Akari
    Sorry, but my clothes are not the type
[13:32] ---
    that will turn see-through
    when wet as you desire!
[13:35] Toru
    Huh?!
[13:37] Toru
    You're not making sense!
[13:39] Akari
    Playing dumb won't help you!
[13:40] Akari
    I can plainly see your true intentions!
[13:43] Chaika
    Toru, Akari, look like fun.
[13:47] Chaika
    Many fun memories.
[13:53] Toru
    Yeah, I guess.
[13:58] Toru
    So that's it?
[14:00] Toru
    The sun's going down. We'd better hurry.
[14:02] Chaika
    Right.
[14:04] Akari
    I'm worried about leaving
    Fredrica to watch the vehicle.
[14:07] Akari
    I will head back first.
[14:09] Toru
    Good idea.
[14:10] Akari
    I'll make preparations for dinner, as well.
[14:12] Akari
    Chaika, if Brother should
    transform into a wolf,
[14:16] Akari
    blow this whistle right away.
[14:18] Toru
    Why would you give her a dog whistle?!
[14:21] Akari
    I thought, if you made
    any worrisome movements,
[14:23] Akari
    she could get dogs to eat you.
[14:24] Toru
    Just get going!
[14:29] Toru
    Are they open?
[14:34] Toru
    Damn... What is this?
[14:38] Guy
    I'm sorry.
[14:39] Guy
    It only opens from the inside.
[14:42] Guy
    I didn't think any more customers
    would be coming today.
[14:46] Guy
    So, what is it you're looking for?
[14:48] Toru
    Well, uh... Do you have any magic fuel?
[14:52] Guy
    What do you need it for?
[14:53] Toru
    Gundo ammunition, and a vehicle.
[14:56] Guy
    Ah... One moment, please.
[15:00] Toru
    All the other shops are sold out or closed.
[15:03] Toru
    Today's been hell.
[15:05] Guy
    I'm sure.
[15:07] Toru
    You're not going to the festival, sir?
[15:11] Guy
    Will this do?
[15:12] Chaika
    Yes!
[15:13] Guy
    If you have your cartridges,
    shall I fill them for you?
[15:16] Chaika
    Yes.
[15:18] Chaika
    Please.
[15:20] Guy
    Everyone's so excited over the
    so-called end of war anniversary,
[15:24] Guy
    but I just can't feel the same way.
[15:27] Chaika
    Why?
[15:29] Guy
    I have nothing but bad memories of that time.
[15:31] Guy
    I lost everything in that war,
    including my wife and two sons.
[15:35] Chaika
    Apology...
[15:36] Guy
    Oh, it's nothing you need to apologize for.
[15:39] Guy
    I just can't let go of the past, that's all.
[15:43] Guy
    Give me just a moment.
[15:51] Chaika
    Toru, have bad memories, too?
[15:54] Toru
    Well, I think everyone has a few of those.
[15:58] Chaika
    Like what?
[16:00] Toru
    Like what?
[16:02] Toru
    It was back when I still
    lived in the village.
[16:04] Chaika
    When child?
[16:05] Toru
    Yeah.
[16:06] Chaika
    Training?
[16:07] Toru
    No.
[16:10] Toru
    Peddlers like the ones we saw earlier
[16:13] Toru
    brought all kinds of goods and
    information to the village regularly.
[16:18] Toru
    One of them was a girl named Hasumin.
[16:23] Chaika
    Hasumin...
[16:25] Toru
    For those of us who spent every day training,
[16:29] Toru
    seeing Hasumin and the other peddlers
    was all we had to look forward to.
[16:33] Toru
    Every time I learned a
    difficult new technique,
[16:36] Toru
    I mastered it so I could show it to her.
[16:41] (Flashback) Toru
    Isn't that awesome, Hasumin?!
[16:42] (Flashback) Toru
    I'm gonna slaughter our enemies with this!
[16:46] Toru
    I worked hard
[16:48] Toru
    because I wanted her praise,
    and I wanted to please her.
[16:52] Chaika
    First love?
[16:53] Toru
    I-It wasn't like that!
[16:55] Chaika
    Hasumin-san, praised? Pleased?
[16:58] Toru
    No, she never praised me once.
[17:02] Toru
    She just watched me with a sad look.
[17:05] Chaika
    Then?
[17:09] Toru
    That's the end.
[17:10] Chaika
    End?
[17:11] Toru
    Hasumin died.
[17:14] Chaika
    Why?
[17:15] Toru
    She was killed by bandits.
[17:21] Toru
    Hasumin, her parents, her husband...
[17:23] Toru
    They were all killed.
[17:25] Chaika
    Not one left?
[17:28] Toru
    I still remember clearly
[17:30] ---
    what happened.
[17:35] Toru
    When I heard the caravan had been attacked,
[17:37] Toru
    I ignored everyone trying to stop me
[17:39] Toru
    and went to look for Hasumin.
[17:50] (Flashback) Toru
    Hasumin...
[17:54] (Flashback) Hasumin
    It's all right...
[18:02] Toru
    I don't know if she was
    trying to put me at ease,
[18:05] Toru
    or if she said it because
    my shock worried her.
[18:15] Toru
    After that, the adults of the village
    slaughtered all the bandits.
[18:19] Toru
    Attacking a caravan that regularly
    visited us was the same
[18:23] Toru
    as showing hostility toward our village.
[18:27] Toru
    But, of course, slaughtering the
    bandits didn't make us feel better.
[18:35] (Flashback) Shin
    There's no point in just
    throwing them blindly.
[18:38] (Flashback) Toru
    I can't just sit around!
[18:40] (Flashback) Shin
    You still can't let go of that?
[18:43] (Flashback) Shin
    You really aren't cut out to be a saboteur.
[18:47] Toru
    My mentor was sick of me
    obsessing over Hasumin.
[18:52] Toru
    It wasn't like I wanted
    to cling to her memory.
[18:55] Toru
    But I can't forget.
[18:59] Toru
    I couldn't save Hasumin.
[19:02] Toru
    That awful feeling never...
[19:05] Chaika
    Couldn't save... wrong.
[19:09] Chaika
    Because of what happen to Hasumin,
[19:12] Chaika
    Toru saved me.
[19:15] Chaika
    Unicorn appear, Toru save me.
[19:18] Toru
    I just happened to...
[19:21] Chaika
    Toru, that memory painful, but important.
[19:25] Chaika
    I think, valuable memory.
[19:31] Toru
    Maybe you're right.
[19:33] Chaika
    Have memories... happy thing.
[19:38] Toru
    Yeah... it is.
[19:42] Guy
    Thank you for waiting.
[19:44] Guy
    Will this be all right?
[19:48] Chaika
    Grateful.
[19:49] Toru
    Thank you very much.
[19:50] Toru
    Do you know where I could
    buy it in large quantities?
[19:54] Guy
    Well...
[19:56] Guy
    All the shops will be low for
    two or three more days...
[20:00] Guy
    Ah, you should visit the neighboring
    territory, Duke Gavarni's domain.
[20:04] Guy
    There are mines there.
[20:06] Toru
    How far is it from here?
[20:08] Guy
    You said you're traveling by vehicle?
[20:11] Guy
    I'd say about a day, then.
[20:13] Guy
    Ah, right. They say the lord
[20:15] ---
    of the domain has some of
    Emperor Gaz's remains, too.
[20:18] Chaika
    Has remains?
[20:20] Toru
    Is he one of the heroes?
[20:22] Guy
    Well, there are lots of mines there.
[20:26] Guy
    My friend and I think he may
[20:27] ---
    have bought the remains from some
    hero with the mining profits.
[20:32] Guy
    Still, those things are powerful magic fuel,
[20:35] Guy
    so it must have cost him a fortune.
[20:41] Chaika
    Last shop, big success!
[20:44] Toru
    Yeah.
[20:45] Toru
    I wasn't expecting to find out
    where more remains are, too.
[20:48] Toru
    Let's head straight there.
[20:49] Chaika
    Yes!
[20:59] Chaika
    Pyrospheres with Toru... New memory.
[21:02] Toru
    Yeah.
[21:05] Toru
    Hey... When you use memories
    in place of magic fuel...
[21:09] Toru
    Can you choose which memories to use?
[21:14] Chaika
    Most likely impossible.
[21:16] Toru
    I see. That sucks.
[21:19] Toru
    I think it'd be better to
    save the good memories.
[21:32] Gillette
    The floating fortress Soara
[21:34] ---
    is currently revolving around
    Duke Gavarni's domain,
[21:37] Gillette
    but it seems to anchor at given intervals.
[21:40] Zita
    We could get in during that time.
[21:43] Gillette
    I'm counting on you, Zita and Vivi.
[21:46] Vivi
    Yes, sir. We'll find out what's
    going on inside immediately.
[21:50] Gillette
    But make sure you don't overdo it.
[21:53] Vivi
    Leave it to me!
[23:25] Chaika
    Floating fortress, huge!
[23:27] Chaika
    And creepy!
[23:29] Chaika
    Get remains safely, escape quickly, possible?
[23:33] Chaika
    Toru and I, separated!
[23:35] Chaika
    Full of danger!
