**[00:13] ---**
I've...
**[00:15] ---**
...decided...
**[00:19] ---**
...which friend to kill...
**[00:22] ---**
...and in turn...
**[00:26] ---**
...what is to be protected.
**[00:48] ---**
Imperial Era 3015
**[00:51] ---**
Nil Kamui - Shuka outskirts | Orphanage
**[00:55] ---**
Mashiro, is the food ready?
**[00:58] ---**
I'm starving!
**[01:00] ---**
Hold on, just a second!
**[01:00] ---**
Starving!
**[01:02] ---**
Can you line the plates?
**[01:17] ---**
Hm?
**[01:21] ---**
Kai, stop with the violence.
**[01:23] ---**
But Ibuki, this brat...
**[01:28] ---**
...was saying that our country was defeated!
**[01:35] ---**
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
**[01:38] ---**
It's a small island country.
**[01:41] ---**
One day, the covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
**[01:47] ---**
and plundered a third of the land.
**[01:51] ---**
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
**[01:55] ---**
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
**[01:59] ---**
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
**[02:03] ---**
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
**[02:08] ---**
Furthermore, the island's guardian deity,
Red Dragon, suddenly went mad
**[02:13] ---**
and began indiscriminately
burning villages and killing people.
**[02:18] ---**
If we accept our defeat...
**[02:20] ---**
...there's no way we can face...
**[02:23] ---**
...our fathers and everyone else!
**[02:25] ---**
Even so, violence is wrong.
**[02:30] ---**
Come now, Kai.
**[02:32] ---**
If you say so, Ibuki.
**[02:35] ---**
I was wrong.
**[02:37] ---**
Sorry.
**[02:40] ---**
Now then, it's time to eat!
**[02:42] ---**
Yay!
**[02:46] ---**
Isn't the first huge market in a
long time being held tomorrow?
**[02:51] ---**
How about we go shopping together?
**[02:53] ---**
Thank you.
**[02:55] ---**
But Kai, you alone would be...
**[02:57] ---**
Ah, Kai alone isn't enough
to carry the load, right?
**[03:00] ---**
C'mon, I can handle myself.
**[03:04] ---**
Thank you, Ibuki.
**[03:10] ---**
Same day, same time
Nil Kamui | Shuka naval port
**[03:18] ---**
Hurry it up, you lazy bums!
**[03:22] ---**
We need to leave Shuka tomorrow.
**[03:27] ---**
Damn, Kouran...
**[03:35] ---**
The people of this country
are quite the laggards.
**[03:39] ---**
They boldly complain, despite not being
able to make decisions on their own.
**[03:48] ---**
Please, spare me!
**[03:49] ---**
Do not worry...
**[03:51] ---**
Your life will serve for the better
of this item of greater importance--
**[03:54] ---**
Kohretsu.
**[03:57] ---**
There are no problems in transporting
our "means" against Red Dragon, yes?
**[04:02] ---**
Yes, Lady Kohkaku!
**[04:04] ---**
No delays whatsoever!
**[04:05] ---**
Hurry them up.
**[04:07] ---**
Kouran is apparently planning to deploy
an expedition for the Red Dragon.
**[04:13] ---**
Which means we must stop
Red Dragon before them,
**[04:15] ---**
lest we be branded as incompetent.
**[04:18] ---**
We are the rulers of this island,
and not those back in our country.
**[04:25] ---**
Nil Kamui | Shuka
Temple in Kouran's territory
**[04:29] ---**
I'm surprised to see you here.
**[04:32] ---**
So, about this "Red Dragon expedition"...
**[04:35] ---**
I see you came up with
something interesting again.
**[04:39] ---**
Why, of course.
**[04:41] ---**
Red Dragon is quite a nuisance to Kouran, see?
**[04:47] ---**
And I figured you would be
a perfect fit for this, Lou.
**[04:53] ---**
Scary, scary...
**[05:00] ---**
The next day | Nil Kamui | Shuka outskirts
**[05:05] ---**
Cave near the orphanage
**[05:26] ---**
Please listen to our earnest prayers...
**[05:30] ---**
Purify and cleanse us of our sins...
**[05:36] ---**
May the divine blessing of
Red Dragon be upon you all!
**[05:44] ---**
Where might he be?
**[05:46] ---**
He's at the orphanage's training hall.
**[05:49] ---**
I see...
**[06:16] ---**
Fugaku?!
**[06:21] ---**
Why lower your sword?
**[06:23] ---**
It's because I'm not training to fight.
**[06:28] ---**
You haven't changed a bit.
**[06:32] ---**
So, you have no intention of
succeeding your father after all.
**[06:38] ---**
Nil Kamui doesn't need a king anymore...
**[06:43] ---**
If a king...
**[06:45] ---**
If someone from the Imperial lineage
**[06:47] ---**
rose to power, that power would
bring conflict along with it.
**[06:50] ---**
I understand your take on the matter, but...
**[06:52] ---**
Ibuki!
**[06:54] ---**
Sorry for the wait!
**[06:55] ---**
Huh? Is it time already?
**[06:58] ---**
Are you going to the market?
**[07:00] ---**
If so...
**[07:04] ---**
...at least for today...
**[07:06] ---**
...take this with you.
**[07:08] ---**
Your father would be pleased.
**[07:10] ---**
But why wear the Ryugatou now?
**[07:14] ---**
Even if you won't rise as king, I'd like
to see you dressed for the affair today.
**[07:20] ---**
Understood.
**[07:22] ---**
Fugaku, will you be coming to the market, too?
**[07:24] ---**
Hm? Well, yes...
**[07:27] ---**
Then I'll be heading out ahead with Mashiro.
**[07:30] ---**
Let's meet there.
**[07:31] ---**
Excuse us.
**[07:37] ---**
Forgive me, Ibuki...
**[07:41] ---**
I will be plunging you into battle...
**[07:57] ---**
Whoa! This place is so lively!
**[08:00] ---**
It hasn't been like this in ages!
**[08:02] ---**
Yup, you look good with it after all.
**[08:05] ---**
Huh?
**[08:07] ---**
The Ryugatou.
**[08:10] ---**
You're really starting
to take after your father.
**[08:15] ---**
Those days are over already.
**[08:21] ---**
You're really kind, Ibuki.
**[08:28] ---**
I-I'm so sorry.
**[08:30] ---**
Apologies from me, too. Are you okay?
**[08:34] ---**
Yes.
**[08:35] ---**
We're really sorry.
**[08:38] ---**
No problem at all.
**[08:39] ---**
Well, if you'll excuse us...
**[08:49] ---**
So, this is Nil Kamui?
**[08:52] ---**
Everything I see here is new to me.
**[08:54] ---**
Awesome!
**[08:55] ---**
This island is filled with so many things
I haven't seen before.
**[08:59] ---**
Ah, the air is so fresh, isn't it, Meryl?
**[09:01] ---**
Sir Sweallow...
**[09:03] ---**
May I ask that you please read the situation
instead of just breathing the air here?
**[09:09] ---**
Please listen. The tension of war
still lingers in this country, and--
**[09:15] ---**
You're so kind, Meryl.
**[09:17] ---**
Uh, I wasn't trying to be kind.
**[09:20] ---**
Um, Sir Sweallow?
**[09:24] ---**
Are you seriously going to join the Red Dragon
expedition and bear their mission?
**[09:30] ---**
Of course!
**[09:31] ---**
That is my contract
with Black Dragon, after all.
**[09:37] ---**
Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be fun.
**[09:48] ---**
Just a bit more!
**[09:49] ---**
I'll buy in bulk, so will you
please drop the price a bit more?
**[09:55] ---**
I give up.
**[09:56] ---**
Hm?
**[10:00] ---**
Move aside!
**[10:02] ---**
Kouran's Leader of Five-Thousand
will pass through shortly!
**[10:08] ---**
Kouran's troops...
**[10:19] ---**
If our march weren't so hurried, we wouldn't
have had to pass through this slum.
**[10:26] ---**
This treasure, the Dragon Eye,
allows sharing of thoughts with the Dragons
**[10:29] ---**
and is our means against Red Dragon.
**[10:35] ---**
So bear this march, Kohretsu.
**[10:37] ---**
Understood, Lady Kohkaku.
**[10:48] ---**
What's the matter, Ibuki?
**[10:51] ---**
One fit to be the king of Nil Kamui...
**[11:05] ---**
Th-This is...?
**[11:08] ---**
Pledge yourself to me.
**[11:12] ---**
Achieve that which you desire.
**[11:22] ---**
Nil Kamui | A small island country located between
two great opposing countries, Kouran and D'natia.
**[11:24] ---**
The island is noted for its tropical weather,
vast wasteland, jungles, and ruggled volcanic areas.
**[11:27] ---**
Listen all!
**[11:30] ---**
Making grace here is Kouran Jinrai
prefecture's Shinbu Shogun!
**[11:34] ---**
Leader of Five-Thousand, Lady Kohkaku!
**[11:37] ---**
Lady Kohkaku has graciously
organized a force to hunt down
**[11:42] ---**
the giant lizard Red Dragon thriving
in this savage country, Nil Kamui!
**[11:47] ---**
As you all know,
the last war marked the start
**[11:51] ---**
of Red Dragon's brutal attacks
upon the people and towns.
**[11:54] ---**
But do not fear!
**[11:56] ---**
We will destroy it with the Dragon Eye
**[12:00] ---**
and bring peace back to this island!
**[12:03] ---**
The Dragon Eye?
**[12:04] ---**
Seriously?
**[12:05] ---**
That's supposed to be Nil Kamui's treasure...
**[12:07] ---**
And so...
**[12:14] ---**
You there, boy.
**[12:17] ---**
Are you referring to me?
**[12:21] ---**
Why do you still wear a sword on you?
**[12:24] ---**
The peace treaty enacted forbids
citizens of Nil Kamui to wield swords.
**[12:30] ---**
This island is now under
the protection of Kouran.
**[12:33] ---**
Swords are not needed anymore, yes?
**[12:36] ---**
The Ryugatou...
**[12:38] ---**
...is worn as a courtesy.
**[12:40] ---**
I am not questioning the purpose of the blade.
**[12:43] ---**
I am telling you to discard the sword.
**[12:45] ---**
Don't do it, Ibuki!
**[12:46] ---**
Don't ever get rid of the Ryugatou!
**[12:49] ---**
It's the very soul of Nil Kamui!
**[12:53] ---**
A sword is just...
**[12:56] ---**
...a mass of iron.
**[12:57] ---**
Mashiro!
**[13:00] ---**
What's the matter, boy? Can't get rid of it?
**[13:04] ---**
Is that mass of iron you have
of greater importance than your life?
**[13:11] ---**
Ibuki...
**[13:12] ---**
It's okay.
**[13:14] ---**
That's right.
**[13:16] ---**
Pride without strength is of no use.
**[13:27] ---**
I...
**[13:30] ---**
What's the matter?
**[13:35] ---**
We don't need a king anymore...
**[13:42] ---**
Can't discard it, can you?
**[13:44] ---**
I was going to assign you as my attendant,
but at this point, you leave me no choice.
**[13:54] ---**
What is it?
**[13:57] ---**
Divine punishment!
**[14:00] ---**
Set the flames of revolution!
**[14:06] ---**
The time has arrived, Lord Ibuki!
**[14:09] ---**
Armed savages have appeared from the rear!
**[14:12] ---**
Is it the rebels?!
**[14:25] ---**
A Bounded One?!
**[14:27] ---**
Leave it to the savages to use ones so lowly!
**[14:40] ---**
All that move are to be treated as rebels!
**[14:44] ---**
Heed my words! Kill all those of Nil Kamui!
**[15:04] ---**
No... Why is this happening?!
**[15:12] ---**
Val, let's begin.
**[15:26] ---**
If you don't move aside, you'll die.
**[15:29] ---**
What haughty words coming
from the likes of a rebel!
**[15:43] ---**
Ibuki...
**[15:49] ---**
At least for today, take this with you...
**[15:52] ---**
Your father would be pleased.
**[15:54] ---**
Fugaku...
**[15:56] ---**
Did he plan for this?
**[16:11] ---**
Ibuki!
**[16:16] ---**
I see!
**[16:18] ---**
So, you were seeking the Dragon Eye all along.
**[16:24] ---**
How dare you bring this about,
you lowly savage?!
**[16:28] ---**
What do you mean, "savage"?!
**[16:34] ---**
One fit to be the king of Nil Kamui...
**[16:41] ---**
Kai! Run!
**[16:52] ---**
Mashiro!
**[16:57] ---**
This can't be...
**[17:03] ---**
I'll make you pay for what you did to Mashiro!
**[17:09] ---**
Kai!
**[17:12] ---**
What a nuisance...
**[17:36] ---**
What should I do?
**[17:39] ---**
I thought becoming a king
would bring about war again...
**[17:45] ---**
They're still inside!
**[17:46] ---**
Your father and family are already...!
**[17:48] ---**
Kouran's army is closing in!
**[17:51] ---**
Now hurry!
**[17:52] ---**
I thought Nil Kamui
didn't need a king anymore...
**[17:57] ---**
I thought the existence of a king
prevented war from ending...
**[18:00] ---**
But war followed me...
**[18:09] ---**
Am I again unable to do anything?
**[18:13] ---**
Pledge yourself to me, Imperial.
**[18:19] ---**
Present me an offering,
and pledge yourself to me.
**[18:23] ---**
Etch into the world what you desire.
**[18:27] ---**
Pledge...
**[18:28] ---**
Your pledge, Imperial.
**[18:31] ---**
With your resolve, I shall grant
you the powers of the dragon.
**[18:37] ---**
Pledge...
**[18:39] ---**
If I enter into contract with you...
**[18:41] ---**
Will everyone... Will Mashiro be saved?
**[18:49] ---**
Yes.
**[18:50] ---**
If that is what you so desire.
**[18:55] ---**
I...
**[18:57] ---**
...want to...
**[18:59] ---**
...change this world!
**[19:01] ---**
Your wish will be granted.
**[19:13] ---**
Am I...
**[19:15] ---**
...going to die?
**[19:17] ---**
I'll never let that happen!
**[19:21] ---**
Ibuki...
**[19:22] ---**
Red Dragon! Hurry!
**[19:25] ---**
Hurry and save Mashiro!
**[19:32] ---**
My hand...
**[19:34] ---**
Offer to me an equivalent
**[19:38] ---**
and achieve your desire.
**[19:41] ---**
N-No!
**[19:43] ---**
Wh-Why do I...?!
**[19:47] ---**
You made a pledge with Red Dragon.
**[19:52] ---**
Mashiro...
**[19:54] ---**
This is what it means to make
a pledge with Red Dragon.
**[19:57] ---**
I'm so happy.
**[20:00] ---**
I'm able to offer my life to you, Ibuki.
**[20:04] ---**
A Child of Contract converts the souls
of those they are bonded to into a blade,
**[20:08] ---**
delivering countries from crisis.
**[20:11] ---**
It's exactly according to legend...
**[20:16] ---**
Stop!
**[20:17] ---**
Stop! Please stop!
**[20:20] ---**
Don't cry...
**[20:22] ---**
Don't worry...
**[20:23] ---**
Ibuki, I'll always be on your side, so...
**[20:30] ---**
...please be a good king...
**[20:41] ---**
The pledge has been fulfilled.
**[20:47] ---**
I shall accept you as
Nil Kamui's Child of Contract.
**[20:55] ---**
Found you, brat!
**[21:13] ---**
You monster!
**[21:19] ---**
Silence!
**[21:22] ---**
In the name of the Child of Contract
and of Red Dragon...
**[21:29] ---**
...perish!
**[21:34] ---**
Th-This is a Dragon's...!
**[21:46] ---**
Young girl, this battle
will be placed on hold for now.
**[21:55] ---**
That's...
**[21:57] ---**
I see...
**[22:00] ---**
I think I understand a bit more
about why I was called.
**[22:03] ---**
Black Dragon is quite a trickster.
**[22:07] ---**
My lord, that is an Imperial...
**[22:10] ---**
The one who carries the blood
of the king of this country.
**[22:13] ---**
I can see that, Lou.
**[22:15] ---**
It seems quite delicious...
**[22:17] ---**
Indeed...
**[22:19] ---**
To find prey such as that
on this island was unexpected.
**[22:44] ---**
Did Mashiro die?
**[22:48] ---**
Who are you?
**[22:49] ---**
I'm Eykha...
**[22:51] ---**
...a member of the revolution.
**[22:53] ---**
Who are you?
**[22:55] ---**
I'm Ibuki.
**[22:59] ---**
This island's...
**[23:03] ---**
Mashiro...
**[23:10] ---**
I...
**[23:15] ---**
...will become king of this island.
**[23:20] ---**

**[00:15] ---**
Child of Contract...?
**[00:17] ---**
A Child of Contract...
**[00:18] ---**
A Child of Contract has finally appeared...
**[00:25] ---**
We'll protect him until he rises to the throne.
**[00:31] ---**
We are the members of the revolution
seeking independence for Nil Kamui.
**[00:35] ---**
Please, use us to your will, Child of Contract.
**[00:38] ---**
Fugaku...
**[00:40] ---**
Why did you make me wear the Ryugatou?
**[00:43] ---**
You knew Kouran would go through the market.
**[00:46] ---**
Why...?
**[00:47] ---**
I did not expect this result.
**[00:50] ---**
But... I have heard your
will to rise as king, and--
**[00:53] ---**
Why did Mashiro have to die?!
**[00:57] ---**
You're the one who killed her!
**[00:59] ---**
He's no Child of Contract!
**[01:01] ---**
He's... He's just a murderer!
**[01:03] ---**
He killed my sister, Mashiro!
**[01:07] ---**
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
**[01:10] ---**
It's a small country.
**[01:11] ---**
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
**[01:16] ---**
and plundered a third of the land.
**[01:19] ---**
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
**[01:22] ---**
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
**[01:26] ---**
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
**[01:29] ---**
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
**[01:32] ---**
Our guardian deity, Red Dragon,
didn't protect the land.
**[01:38] ---**
Imperial Era 3015, September...
**[01:41] ---**
Our country was no longer ours.
**[03:16] ---**
Nil Kamui | Shuka revolution army quarter
**[03:24] ---**
I-I'm not afraid of any Bounded One.
**[03:27] ---**
Back in the old days, the likes of you
wouldn't even be able to speak with us!
**[03:32] ---**
Are you acquainted with Mashiro?
**[03:35] ---**
You know my sister, Mashiro...?
**[03:38] ---**
No...
**[03:40] ---**
She's not actually my real sister, but I really...
**[03:44] ---**
...liked her?
**[03:47] ---**
That's not it...
**[04:02] ---**
How marvelous...
**[04:04] ---**
My lord's authority makes even
the most mindless of beasts kneel.
**[04:09] ---**
I thought this place to be
a petty island of little value,
**[04:12] ---**
but this place is quite... interesting.
**[04:15] ---**
Mashiro was a shrine maiden
of the Child of Contract?
**[04:18] ---**
That's what I heard.
**[04:20] ---**
That means Ibuki was at the castle, too.
**[04:23] ---**
So why'd he kill Mashiro, then?!
**[04:25] ---**
Don't the shrine maidens serve the
Imperials who came from the line of kings?
**[04:31] ---**
Mashiro told me...
**[04:34] ---**
Long, long ago, Red Dragon made a promise.
**[04:37] ---**
If the Child of Contract, the king,
made a suitable offering,
**[04:41] ---**
Red Dragon would lend its blade in return.
**[04:43] ---**
Offering?
**[04:45] ---**
A bonded soul.
**[04:48] ---**
There are a number of interpretations of this,
**[04:50] ---**
but I think it means to
offer everything to the king.
**[04:55] ---**
An equivalent exchange of
the life of someone precious
**[04:58] ---**
for the life of one who may get in the way...
**[05:01] ---**
What an ingenious scheme.
**[05:04] ---**
So, you're telling me that Mashiro offered
her soul to Ibuki by her own accord?
**[05:09] ---**
Mashiro eagerly awaited
the arrival of such a day.
**[05:13] ---**
But...!
**[05:14] ---**
But that's wrong...
**[05:17] ---**
Kai, you heard how Red Dragon went mad
and destroyed villages around the area, right?
**[05:24] ---**
Are you saying that this is all
because Red Dragon went mad?
**[05:27] ---**
Kai...
**[05:29] ---**
What, so you weren't responsible for killing
Mashiro because Red Dragon is insane?!
**[05:36] ---**
Lord Ibuki.
**[05:38] ---**
There you are.
**[05:41] ---**
While this country went
without a king, the council...
**[05:41] ---**
Nil Kamui | Shuka revolution army quarter
**[05:44] ---**
...or should I say, the provisional government,
**[05:47] ---**
along with D'natia and Kouran, usurped us.
**[05:50] ---**
Now is the time for us to regain this country.
**[05:53] ---**
Did I really become a Child of Contract?
**[05:57] ---**
The power you exhibited
to defeat Kouran's general
**[06:00] ---**
is no doubt the power of Red Dragon.
**[06:03] ---**
We will move ourselves
somewhere safe tonight.
**[06:09] ---**
Kouran's reinforcements
should arrive by daybreak.
**[06:12] ---**
We'll leave at once.
**[06:14] ---**
Oh, c'mon. That's not going to help me.
**[06:17] ---**
Who are you?
**[06:19] ---**
Hey there! We pretty much came from D'natia.
**[06:22] ---**
What do you mean "pretty much"?
**[06:24] ---**
You're that...
**[06:29] ---**
D'natia?!
**[06:30] ---**
You've got some nerve coming here now!
**[06:32] ---**
Sir Black Dragon Knight...
**[06:35] ---**
Yup, I'm Sweallow Clazzvali
of the Black Dragon Knights.
**[06:41] ---**
My name is Meryl Sherbet.
**[06:43] ---**
I am an attendant to Sir Sweallow.
**[06:46] ---**
Black Dragon Knight...
**[06:48] ---**
A mighty soldier said to have received
**[06:50] ---**
the power of D'natia's
guardian deity, Black Dragon...
**[06:54] ---**
I heard there are only thirty like him
out of D'natia's force of 300,000.
**[06:58] ---**
I can't believe one of them...
**[07:00] ---**
Hm? "One of them" what?
**[07:03] ---**
Has the look of an idiot.
**[07:05] ---**
Whoa... That's gonna hurt me bad, Meryl.
**[07:08] ---**
So... What is a great person
like you doing here?
**[07:11] ---**
Come now, you're the great one, Ibuki.
**[07:14] ---**
You're this country's runner-up for king.
**[07:17] ---**
By request of Nil Kamui's council,
**[07:19] ---**
we would like to bring you on as a member
of the expedition for Red Dragon...
**[07:23] ---**
...or at least that's what I heard.
**[07:25] ---**
I was selected to be a
member of the expedition, too.
**[07:28] ---**
Red Dragon... expedition?
**[07:33] ---**
Nil Kamui | Shuka prison
**[07:39] ---**
I can't believe you called me at this hour...
**[07:41] ---**
I am truly sorry for bringing you here.
**[07:44] ---**
But there was no way we
could let him out of here...
**[07:51] ---**
Welcome to this filthy prison.
**[07:56] ---**
It looks like the current rulers
of Nil Kamui are here.
**[08:00] ---**
I didn't notice you here...
**[08:02] ---**
Agito... Kouran's forces were
attacked by the revolutionary army.
**[08:06] ---**
Ah, in town, right?
**[08:08] ---**
Are you the one who gave the order?
**[08:10] ---**
Listen carefully...
**[08:11] ---**
We need to confirm the rumor
of Red Dragon going mad.
**[08:16] ---**
But moving a country's force will
bring about unwanted confusion.
**[08:21] ---**
Hence, Kouran...
**[08:24] ---**
...D'natia...
**[08:25] ---**
...and the rebel army...
**[08:27] ---**
Correction... "The revolutionary army."
**[08:30] ---**
The three countries are to send their elite
to form the expedition for Red Dragon.
**[08:35] ---**
That was our agreement.
**[08:38] ---**
In order to bring Ibuki aboard the expedition,
he needed to have his eyes opened a bit.
**[08:43] ---**
Are you telling me that Kouran and the
revolutionary army were sacrificed for that?
**[08:49] ---**
That's fine... I'll treat this as if
it was an unfortunate accident.
**[08:54] ---**
But I won't let you do such a thing again
**[08:58] ---**
until after the combined
expedition finds Red Dragon...
**[09:03] ---**
Shuka outskirts | Kouran force's camp site
**[09:03] ---**
Unfortunate accident?!
**[09:05] ---**
I could care less about
the combined expedition!
**[09:08] ---**
Nil Kamui's rebels are the ones
who caused the commotion!
**[09:10] ---**
When are the reinforcements going to arrive?!
**[09:13] ---**
Return at once...
**[09:15] ---**
There's no way I can heed such an order!
**[09:17] ---**
I will get back the stolen Dragon Eye!
**[09:21] ---**
Lady Kohkaku.
**[09:24] ---**
Are you certain that this "Child of Contract"
was the one who killed Kohretsu?
**[09:28] ---**
Yes, everyone is saying that it
was by the power of Red Dragon.
**[09:32] ---**
Why would one from the king's
lineage reside at an orphanage?
**[09:35] ---**
It is true. After all, he came to our stall
a number of times to make purchases.
**[09:40] ---**
I thank you for your information.
**[09:42] ---**
Now, please return to us our child
whom you have summoned!
**[09:46] ---**
Ah, I see.
**[09:47] ---**
That handsome-looking boy
was your son, was he?
**[09:51] ---**
But you're too late...
**[09:53] ---**
What?
**[09:54] ---**
A special spell of the Kouran
allows one to burn life onto a seal.
**[09:59] ---**
Your son's life is now a part of me,
to protect me from harm...
**[10:06] ---**
Mom...
**[10:11] ---**
And so we really need your
power to find Red Dragon, Ibuki.
**[10:19] ---**
D'natia and Kouran, who are in
conflict over dominion of this island,
**[10:22] ---**
forming a combined expedition in goodwill?
**[10:25] ---**
That's hard to believe.
**[10:26] ---**
Besides us, I heard that there is a participant
from the revolutionary army as well.
**[10:30] ---**
That is news to me.
**[10:32] ---**
In the first place, where is
Kouran's representative?
**[10:34] ---**
We're supposed to meet up somewhere in
this town, but I haven't met the person yet.
**[10:38] ---**
They're supposed to have
something like this on them...
**[10:41] ---**
Huh? Wait a minute.
**[10:42] ---**
Unlike Kouran, D'natia and
Nil Kamui have always been allies.
**[10:47] ---**
We're like friends... Right?
**[10:49] ---**
It seems you've forgotten, so make sure
this gets through that thick skull of yours.
**[10:54] ---**
D'natia was allied with this island's royal family,
**[10:58] ---**
but when Kouran's forces invaded Nil Kamui,
**[11:01] ---**
our country defended only the towns
where our military bases were stationed.
**[11:05] ---**
Huh? Then what happened to the king?
**[11:08] ---**
The king was assassinated during the turmoil
with Kouran during the Seven Year War,
**[11:12] ---**
and as a result, Nil Kamui accepted a treaty
which signified complete surrender.
**[11:16] ---**
Whoa... That was a terrible
move by our country.
**[11:20] ---**
Excuse me...
**[11:21] ---**
...but I...
**[11:23] ---**
The Kouran force...
**[11:25] ---**
The Kouran force is laying siege to the town!
**[11:29] ---**
So, their reinforcements arrived already.
**[11:31] ---**
No, it's actually the remnant
force from earlier today.
**[11:33] ---**
If that's all there is,
we can fight them on our own!
**[11:38] ---**
Please wait!
**[11:39] ---**
There are children in the town!
**[11:43] ---**
I'm assuming it's futile to try to stop you...
**[11:46] ---**
You know, you really are the best
attendant I could have, Meryl.
**[11:55] ---**
Mashiro...
**[11:57] ---**
I said horrible things to Ibuki.
**[12:00] ---**
But...
**[12:11] ---**
Let the flames dance until they reach
the eyes of this "Child of Contract!"
**[12:15] ---**
Cry until they reach that one's ears!
**[12:19] ---**
Bound One | A slave whose body
has been linked to that of a monster.
**[12:28] ---**
You're unfit for this.
**[12:29] ---**
Let me go! Who are you?!
**[12:31] ---**
Ibuki...
**[12:33] ---**
Yes... I hear he's able to convert the souls
of those precious to him into power.
**[12:39] ---**
There must be something you can do, too...
**[12:42] ---**
My... soul?
**[12:51] ---**
We'll go all out on them!
**[12:52] ---**
Open the gates!
**[12:54] ---**
Nah, if you open the gates, everyone will die.
**[12:57] ---**
What's this about, Black Dragon Knight?
**[12:59] ---**
Now, now. I think this is about
the only way to gain your trust.
**[13:03] ---**
Besides, I don't want to see
any children get killed...
**[13:07] ---**
Right, Meryl?
**[13:13] ---**
Finally... but only one of them?
**[13:16] ---**
Hm? He's not one of the rebels.
**[13:20] ---**
Die!
**[13:22] ---**
Oh, well...
**[13:34] ---**
My debt to Meryl's going to increase again.
**[13:38] ---**
What's with that move?!
**[13:40] ---**
Who cares? Charge!
**[13:44] ---**
Guess it can't be helped...
**[14:03] ---**
What's with his battle style?
**[14:06] ---**
Any instrument he wields falls apart.
**[14:10] ---**
That's the curse he was born with.
**[14:17] ---**
But the moment it falls apart...
**[14:19] ---**
...that instrument is capable
of exerting all of its power.
**[14:26] ---**
Now then...
**[14:28] ---**
I wonder how much he's
planning to waste on this battle.
**[14:38] ---**
That direction...
**[14:40] ---**
Could it be...?!
**[14:41] ---**
Where are you going?
**[14:43] ---**
Fugaku asked for you to stay here.
**[14:46] ---**
Eykha, was it?
**[14:48] ---**
Please...
**[14:49] ---**
Please?
**[14:51] ---**
You're saying that to me, a Bounded One?
**[14:53] ---**
Please...
**[14:55] ---**
...let me ride on your friend's back.
**[15:00] ---**
Sure.
**[15:06] ---**
I knew it!
**[15:07] ---**
Could everyone still be inside?
**[15:08] ---**
I'll distract her, so you go on in.
**[15:19] ---**
Is anyone around...?!
**[15:22] ---**
Ibuki!
**[15:23] ---**
Ibuki!
**[15:26] ---**
Thank goodness! It'll be all right.
**[15:29] ---**
You came back to save them?
**[15:31] ---**
Yes... You protected them, didn't you, Kai?
**[15:35] ---**
Thank you.
**[15:51] ---**
Bite it to pieces, Val!
**[15:53] ---**
I hold more than one life!
**[16:05] ---**
Eykha!
**[16:08] ---**
This isn't good...
At this rate, we'll all be killed!
**[16:12] ---**
We need to defeat her.
**[16:18] ---**
I'll use that power once more...
**[16:21] ---**
Answer me...
**[16:22] ---**
...Red Dragon!
**[16:37] ---**
Imperial...
**[16:39] ---**
So, you desire the flames I possess?
**[16:42] ---**
The contract was enacted.
**[16:44] ---**
You forced the offering from me.
**[16:47] ---**
A person that was precious to me...!
**[16:50] ---**
Indeed.
**[16:51] ---**
If so, bring about that flame once
more and get rid of the enemy!
**[16:55] ---**
If that is what you desire,
then offer me an equivalent.
**[17:00] ---**
I already paid for that...!
**[17:03] ---**
I...
**[17:04] ---**
One life, one soul... Scales are impartial.
**[17:10] ---**
One life, one soul?
**[17:15] ---**
What's with that nonsense?!
**[17:16] ---**
Ibuki...
**[17:18] ---**
It's my turn now!
**[17:19] ---**
What are you saying, Kai?!
**[17:21] ---**
Red Dragon seeks the soul of
someone you're bonded to, right?
**[17:24] ---**
Couldn't that also mean
someone who's your friend, Ibuki?
**[17:29] ---**
What are you...?
**[17:30] ---**
Kill me, just like you did Mashiro!
**[17:33] ---**
Then go and beat that monster!
**[17:36] ---**
Stop it! Please... stop!
**[17:39] ---**
I killed Mashiro with my own hands.
**[17:41] ---**
I won't let another...
**[17:44] ---**
You're a king, right?!
**[17:45] ---**
You're going to become a king, right?!
**[17:47] ---**
Are you going to let all of them
die in front of you?!
**[17:51] ---**
No... I can't...
**[17:53] ---**
I'm not good enough? Am I not
your friend anymore, Ibuki?!
**[17:57] ---**
Kai.
**[17:58] ---**
You're my...
**[18:04] ---**
Ibuki!
**[18:05] ---**
I can't believe you can use such a terrifying
move with that cute face of yours.
**[18:09] ---**
Where is the Dragon Eye?
**[18:11] ---**
There it is!
**[18:17] ---**
Out of my way!
**[18:23] ---**
Kai...! Kai!
**[18:25] ---**
The equivalent has been received.
**[18:28] ---**
Red Dragon! What are you saying?!
**[18:30] ---**
I didn't kill Kai!
**[18:32] ---**
He has the birthright to be king, yet could
not stop what occurred in front of his eyes.
**[18:36] ---**
That is called abandonment,
and is akin to murder.
**[18:40] ---**
Ah... So that's how a dragon sees it.
**[18:43] ---**
Souls hold that much weight,
and thus are sweet.
**[18:47] ---**
Indeed, my lord...
**[18:50] ---**
Thank goodness...
**[18:52] ---**
Kai...
**[18:54] ---**
Red Dragon acknowledged...
**[18:56] ---**
...that I'm still your friend, Ibuki...
**[19:01] ---**
I said a lot of horrible things to you... Sorry...
**[19:04] ---**
I was... jealous...
**[19:08] ---**
...of you and sis...
**[19:11] ---**
...Mashiro...
**[19:16] ---**
Do as you desire, Imperial.
**[19:21] ---**
I couldn't protect him...
**[19:23] ---**
That's the same as killing him...
**[19:26] ---**
That's what you want to say,
isn't it, Red Dragon...?
**[19:31] ---**
He's fused with the Dragon Eye?
**[19:33] ---**
Steel Form, release!
**[19:36] ---**
I'll gouge the Dragon Eye from you!
**[19:38] ---**
Young boy, if you're going to curse anything,
**[19:40] ---**
curse your misfortune in being
born on this island of savages!
**[20:10] ---**
In the name of the Child of
Contract and Red Dragon...
**[20:15] ---**
...perish!
**[20:42] ---**
Are you sure about this?
**[20:44] ---**
Yes... I'll join your combined expedition.
**[20:50] ---**
If I stay here, I'll lose more
of those precious to me...
**[20:54] ---**
What?
**[20:55] ---**
I want to meet Red Dragon.
**[20:58] ---**
And I want to return this power.
**[21:03] ---**
No... This curse!
**[21:07] ---**
Got it.
**[21:08] ---**
Let's go, then.
**[21:09] ---**
Fugaku, please take care of the children.
**[21:23] ---**
Ibuki!
**[21:34] ---**
You're...?
**[21:35] ---**
Kouran's representative.
**[21:37] ---**
She's...
**[21:43] ---**
So we finally meet, Ibuki.
**[21:45] ---**
Will you be my friend?
**[21:50] ---**
Act 2
**[21:52] ---**
Act 2 | Antinomy
**[23:31] ---**
Act 3
**[23:31] ---**
Act 3: "Three as One."
**[23:35] ---**
The motive behind the three countries
seeking the dragon dyes Ibuki's life in black.
**[23:41] ---**
And now, the final player
takes a seat at the table.

**[00:06] ---**
Nil Kamui | Orphanage on
the outskirts of Shuka
**[00:12] ---**
Friend? Me?
**[00:15] ---**
Yes.
**[00:16] ---**
My name is Lou Chun Wah.
**[00:18] ---**
I hope to be of assistance.
**[00:20] ---**
I'm...
**[00:22] ---**
Ibuki, right?
**[00:24] ---**
You were recommended to
the Red Dragon expedition.
**[00:27] ---**
I see!
**[00:29] ---**
So you're the other member of the expedition.
**[00:38] ---**
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
**[00:41] ---**
It's a small island country.
**[00:43] ---**
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
**[00:48] ---**
and plundered a third of the land.
**[00:51] ---**
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
**[00:53] ---**
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
**[00:58] ---**
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
**[01:00] ---**
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
**[01:04] ---**
Our guardian deity, Red Dragon,
didn't protect the land.
**[01:10] ---**
Imperial Era 3015, September...
**[01:13] ---**
Our country was no longer ours.
**[02:49] ---**
Nil Kamui | Orphanage on
the outskirts of Shuka
**[02:52] ---**
Now, then! The time to begin our
combined expedition is finally here!
**[02:57] ---**
Um, tomorrow we'll leave Shuka and head
**[03:00] ---**
to the city of Haiga, where there's supposed
to be someone familiar with Red Dragon!
**[03:05] ---**
Right?
**[03:07] ---**
Exactly.
**[03:08] ---**
I'm surprised you didn't forget that.
**[03:10] ---**
Yeah, my memory is pretty good!
**[03:13] ---**
By the way, I feel like we should
improve our intercommunication.
**[03:18] ---**
How about we grab something to eat in town
here in Shuka before we go on our mission?
**[03:21] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[03:22] ---**
Huh?
**[03:23] ---**
There's someplace I want to go,
so please head to town ahead of me.
**[03:32] ---**
I am sorry, but I feel we are not in a position
to associate with you in such a manner as yet.
**[03:37] ---**
Now, if you'll excuse us.
**[03:45] ---**
Why, I'd be happy to join you.
**[03:50] ---**
Good for you, Sir Sweallow.
**[03:53] ---**
Meryl, I'm not trying to
get to know her personally.
**[03:58] ---**
It's for the mission.
**[04:00] ---**
I understand.
**[04:02] ---**
While I go drinking with her, see what
you can find out about her, will you?
**[04:11] ---**
Understood.
**[04:12] ---**
Now, then...
**[04:13] ---**
And...
**[04:15] ---**
Huh?
**[04:21] ---**
I'm sorry, but could you lend
me money to pay for the drinks?
**[04:28] ---**
Enjoy your time with her.
**[04:35] ---**
Mashiro... Kai... May you rest in peace.
**[04:40] ---**
Fugaku went to see Agito.
**[04:42] ---**
Agito?
**[04:44] ---**
He's the leader of the revolutionary army.
**[04:46] ---**
And I'm your escort.
**[04:49] ---**
Revolutionary army...
**[04:53] ---**
Shuka | Urban district
**[04:58] ---**
Lou... was it?
**[05:00] ---**
I wanted to ask, but is that large and
important-looking piece your weapon?
**[05:07] ---**
Weapon?
**[05:08] ---**
No, not quite.
**[05:10] ---**
It is a weapon, and yet it's not.
**[05:13] ---**
This here is my life.
**[05:15] ---**
Then, in other words, it's a weapon
you can't use carelessly.
**[05:18] ---**
Is it some sort of heirloom, or...
**[05:25] ---**
Does it interest you that much?
**[05:27] ---**
Ah, no.
**[05:35] ---**
Well, I just don't do well with tools.
**[05:40] ---**
Nine out of ten times...
**[05:45] ---**
No... Ninety-nine out of a hundred times,
they break if I try to use them.
**[05:52] ---**
I see.
**[05:54] ---**
I've never been attached to any tool before.
**[05:57] ---**
That's why I wanted to know why
you said that it was your life, Lou.
**[06:05] ---**
It just crossed my mind, that's all.
**[06:08] ---**
People don't choose tools.
**[06:13] ---**
Tools choose the people.
**[06:15] ---**
Are you telling me that your weapon chose you?
**[06:20] ---**
It seems you don't know
the joy of being chosen...
**[06:23] ---**
Could it be that the tools do not like you?
**[06:29] ---**

Meanwhile... Shuka | Business district
**[06:48] ---**
Is this your store?
**[06:51] ---**
Yes, it's a Sherbet Company branch store
**[06:54] ---**
under my operation.
**[06:56] ---**
I thought you were Sweallow's attendant.
**[07:00] ---**
Technically, yes, but there's more
to it than being an attendant.
**[07:04] ---**
I'm actually managing Sir Sweallow's
assets after he went bankrupt.
**[07:13] ---**
Now then, I'll have the rest
of the luggage transported.
**[07:16] ---**
Let's have something to eat before we return.
**[07:18] ---**
Yes, that's...
**[07:21] ---**
Thank you, but I'll return to the inn by myself.
**[07:36] ---**
Like, y'know, I told 'em that...
**[07:39] ---**
Ow! The hell...
**[07:41] ---**
The heck ya doing...?!
**[07:42] ---**
Hey, stop it. That's a Bounded One.
**[07:45] ---**
Nothing to be gained from
getting involved with them.
**[07:47] ---**
Besides, they got stuck with monsters,
so it's not like they got much time to live.
**[07:54] ---**
The owner shoulda thrown
her in a cell or somethin'!
**[08:00] ---**
Shuka | Front of the main gate
**[08:07] ---**
Look at 'em!
**[08:09] ---**
We're going to be riding them, right?
**[08:10] ---**
Indeed.
**[08:11] ---**
Yeah, amazing!
**[08:13] ---**
See, Ibuki? Those elephants
are called Gadanans.
**[08:18] ---**
I see...
**[08:20] ---**
Ah, um... Did I say something bad?
**[08:24] ---**
Maybe he's discontent
with joining the expedition.
**[08:29] ---**
Well, he's the one who said he wanted to join.
**[08:32] ---**
So, where are we supposed to go again?
**[08:34] ---**
Have you already forgotten
what you said yesterday?
**[08:36] ---**
I'm good at forgetting things!
**[08:46] ---**
Right now, we're here in Shuka.
**[08:49] ---**
Our destination is towards the south--
the neutral city of Haiga.
**[08:53] ---**
There's a certain person there that
is said to be the friend of Red Dragon.
**[08:58] ---**
His name is Ka Grava, also known
as the "Undead Merchant."
**[09:04] ---**
Haiga is owned by him.
**[09:06] ---**
Actually, five percent of all the wealth
in this world is supposedly owned by him.
**[09:11] ---**
In any case, we need to extract
information from him about Red Dragon.
**[09:25] ---**
Now then, I'll leave the rest to you, Miska.
**[09:27] ---**
No problem!
**[09:28] ---**
Good.
**[09:30] ---**
The combined expedition departs now!
**[09:34] ---**
Shuka | Prison
**[09:36] ---**
Wouldn't joining forces with Kouran and D'natia
**[09:39] ---**
make us vulnerable to their manipulation?
**[09:44] ---**
Kouran won't exterminate Ibuki so
long as he's part of the expedition.
**[09:49] ---**
That buys us time to prepare ourselves.
**[09:53] ---**
You're being too optimistic.
**[09:55] ---**
And once the expedition gets on its way...
**[09:58] ---**
...Ibuki will naturally be drawn closer to
Red Dragon--in other words, to his roots.
**[10:04] ---**
Trust me here.
**[10:06] ---**
Please support Ibuki.
**[10:08] ---**
Understood.
**[10:14] ---**
Now then... I wonder who will be
burned by Red Dragon's flames.
**[10:39] ---**
Nil Kamui | Yuunagi Village
**[10:49] ---**
Red Dragon did this throughout the land...?
**[10:53] ---**
I need to hurry and do something about this.
**[11:12] ---**
Val!
**[11:18] ---**
Eykha!
**[11:19] ---**
Run!
**[11:21] ---**
But your friend is hurt!
**[11:23] ---**
Just get out of here!
**[11:25] ---**
Behind you!
**[11:40] ---**
Eykha...
**[11:41] ---**
The next time you're in danger,
raise your voice.
**[11:45] ---**
My job is to protect you, after all.
**[11:51] ---**
Is it only because Agito told you to do so?
**[11:55] ---**
Please let me ride on your friend's back...
**[11:59] ---**
That's not the only reason.
**[12:03] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[12:09] ---**
The Two Great Countries | The ancient country
of Kouran is known as the origin of civilization.
**[12:23] ---**
It's okay, Meryl...
**[12:26] ---**
This isn't a marriage fraud
like the other girl before... Ow!
**[12:28] ---**
Please wake up, Sir Sweallow.
**[12:32] ---**
Isn't it normal to wake someone up by saying
something instead of just hitting them?
**[12:37] ---**
I've put together a report
regarding Lou Chun Wah.
**[12:41] ---**
Let's see now...
**[12:43] ---**
"An assassin associated with Kouran's
secret society, the Eight Claw Clan.
**[12:46] ---**
As an assassin, she is highly skilled..."
**[12:49] ---**
Oh, come on... Her title is way unfitting
to be part of the Red Dragon expedition.
**[12:55] ---**
What shall we do? We'll be entering
Kouran territory by tomorrow.
**[12:58] ---**
Now is the time to do something about it.
**[13:00] ---**
What to do, eh?
**[13:03] ---**
It's not like Lou is against us, you know?
**[13:07] ---**
Besides...
**[13:09] ---**
...in terms of having an unfitting title,
we're not any better.
**[13:13] ---**
I do have orders from Black Dragon, after all.
**[13:17] ---**
To kill Red Dragon...
**[13:24] ---**
Lou, this island is filled with
worthy prey to feed off of.
**[13:29] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[13:30] ---**
I will most certainly offer to you
the best among the prey.
**[13:34] ---**
The Child of Contract, the Black
Dragon Knight, and finally...
**[13:39] ---**
...Red Dragon...
**[13:49] ---**
Nil Kamui | Jinrai prefecture
**[13:57] ---**
Guess we'll be staying here overnight.
**[14:00] ---**
Jinrai is the acting base for
Kouran's occupation forces.
**[14:04] ---**
Lou is gathering information,
so let's wait for her return.
**[14:09] ---**
That's right...
**[14:11] ---**
Ibuki, can you please take this meal to Eykha?
**[14:15] ---**
Me?
**[14:17] ---**
She's like your friend, right?
**[14:21] ---**
Friend...
**[14:27] ---**
No, she's not...
**[14:41] ---**
I brought you some food.
**[14:43] ---**
I'm fine with the same thing Val eats.
**[14:46] ---**
Same...? But you're a human.
**[14:49] ---**
That's not what the others say.
**[14:51] ---**
A Bound One refers to a
human bound to a monster.
**[14:54] ---**
I'm the revolutionary army's weapon.
**[14:56] ---**
Right now, I'm your blade.
**[14:59] ---**
But that's so wrong...
**[15:02] ---**
You're saying the same
thing that Mashiro told me.
**[15:05] ---**
It's not like those like me live for very long.
**[15:09] ---**
Mashiro...
**[15:12] ---**
This was back when I joined
the revolutionary army.
**[15:19] ---**
I'm sorry, but this is all I have right now.
**[15:23] ---**
Thank you...
**[15:25] ---**
But I can't repay you.
**[15:30] ---**
Eykha, you're strong, right?
**[15:33] ---**
If so, please join me in protecting my friend.
**[15:37] ---**
You're Mashiro's friend, so I'll protect you.
**[15:43] ---**
But I killed Mashiro...
**[15:48] ---**
Red Dragon sought your friend...
**[15:51] ---**
...and so Mashiro responded.
**[15:54] ---**
If that's the case, I'm not going
to make friends anymore...
**[16:08] ---**
So Haiga is surrounded
by Kouran's forces, it seems.
**[16:11] ---**
A bit of a bother, don't you think, Lou?
**[16:13] ---**
I'm a member of the expedition, my lord.
**[16:16] ---**
The military's intention is not my concern.
**[16:22] ---**
Oh, my, who could it be?
**[16:24] ---**
Lou Chun Wah, I presume.
**[16:26] ---**
I've come to take vengeance
for my lady, General Kohkaku.
**[16:30] ---**
No matter what secret assignment you have,
it doesn't change the treason you've committed!
**[16:35] ---**
What timing, Lou.
**[16:37] ---**
I was starting to feel the pangs of hunger.
**[16:40] ---**
Yes, my lord...
**[16:42] ---**
It is quite vexing to have ones
such as them barring our way.
**[17:01] ---**
Satisfy yourselves...
**[17:02] ---**
This is the last blade you
will be seeing in your life.
**[17:11] ---**
So beautiful...
**[17:13] ---**
It's mine...
**[17:17] ---**
That blade is worthy of me...!
**[17:21] ---**
No.
**[17:22] ---**
My lord is mine alone...
**[17:39] ---**
Ah, that was quite satisfying, Lou.
**[17:42] ---**
That is good to hear.
**[17:58] ---**
Nil Kamui | Haiga outskirts
**[18:01] ---**
Lady Gakusho,
**[18:02] ---**
it seems the city of Haiga still has ample supplies.
**[18:02] ---**
Kouran force encampment
**[18:05] ---**
On the other hand,
**[18:07] ---**
our supplies are starting to dwindle.
**[18:09] ---**
It's been about a month
since we surrounded them.
**[18:12] ---**
We better do something about this
before D'natia gets involved.
**[18:16] ---**
Then let us take Haiga before that happens.
**[18:19] ---**
Yeah, we've got to pay back
what's due to the Undead Merchant.
**[18:23] ---**
I'll drill him full of holes!
**[18:27] ---**
It looks like Haiga is completely surrounded.
**[18:31] ---**
I thought that city took a neutral stance?
**[18:33] ---**
From what I garnered at Jinrai,
**[18:35] ---**
it seems they are suspected of
helping to fund the revolutionary army.
**[18:38] ---**
That's not all.
**[18:40] ---**
Word is that D'natia's forces led
by Lady Ulrika are headed here.
**[18:46] ---**
In other words, it's only a matter of time
until the city turns into a battlefield.
**[18:51] ---**
Our country's concern for its
social standing isn't going to help.
**[18:54] ---**
That said...
**[18:56] ---**
Word is that the Undead Merchant's manor
is located near Haiga's precipitous coastline,
**[19:00] ---**
making it much like a fortress.
**[19:02] ---**
That means we'll need to come up
with a plan to get into the place.
**[19:06] ---**
One, we can wait for conflict to arise
between D'natia and Kouran's forces,
**[19:09] ---**
then make our way into the city.
**[19:12] ---**
Isn't that a bit bothersome?
**[19:14] ---**
Two, we can try to negotiate
earnestly through company venues.
**[19:18] ---**
If that brought results, Kouran would've
resolved the conflict by now.
**[19:22] ---**
Then three would be infiltration.
**[19:25] ---**
That I can do, so long as I move alone.
**[19:28] ---**
Ah! Can you take me with you?!
**[19:32] ---**
You, Ibuki?
**[19:34] ---**
Yes!
**[19:35] ---**
If an Imperial with strong ties
with Red Dragon is there,
**[19:39] ---**
the Undead Merchant may
listen to what we have to say.
**[19:42] ---**
So, please!
**[19:45] ---**
I see... Well, let's go, shall we?
**[19:48] ---**
You and me are friends after all, right, Ibuki?
**[19:52] ---**
W-We're not friends, really...
**[19:59] ---**
I need to meet Red Dragon as soon as possible.
**[20:03] ---**
I'm not going to let anyone else
get dragged into misery...
**[20:09] ---**
Well, now, here we go.
**[20:11] ---**
Huh?
**[20:12] ---**
Wha--?!
**[20:15] ---**
W-Wait! Please put me down!
**[20:17] ---**
I can scale the wall myself!
**[20:19] ---**
No talking, or else you'll bite your tongue.
**[20:39] ---**
Nil Kamui | Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
**[20:48] ---**
What is this place...?
**[20:49] ---**
Structurally speaking, I believe this is
supposed to be this manor's lord's room.
**[20:54] ---**
Such an unusual room...
**[20:55] ---**
Living room
**[20:56] ---**
It doesn't feel like anyone lives here.
**[21:02] ---**
Didn't something move just now?
**[21:05] ---**
I didn't notice anything.
**[21:12] ---**
Lou!
**[21:13] ---**
Yes?
**[21:14] ---**
Um, well...
**[21:17] ---**
Ibuki, it's not good to tease adults.
**[21:28] ---**
Good morning, strangers.
**[21:32] ---**
I am Ka Grava-Rai Fuu-Durham Stahl.
**[21:36] ---**
You're...
**[21:38] ---**
The Undead Merchant?
**[21:40] ---**
Hm, indeed.
**[21:44] ---**
Now then, why don't you
both join me for breakfast...?
**[21:48] ---**
Sounds good, yes?!
**[21:50] ---**
Act 3
**[21:52] ---**
Act 3
Three as One
**[23:32] ---**
Act 4
**[23:32] ---**
Act 4: "Amid Enemies."
**[23:35] ---**
Haiga is about to be engulfed in warfare.
**[23:38] ---**
The time draws near for the
anguished Ibuki to make a new choice.
**[23:42] ---**
Who will he kill, and who will he save?
**[23:45] ---**

**[00:12] ---**
Good morning, strangers.
**[00:15] ---**
I am Ka Grava-Rai Fuu-Durham Stahl.
**[00:20] ---**
You're...
**[00:21] ---**
The Undead Merchant?
**[00:24] ---**
Hm, indeed.
**[00:27] ---**
Now then, why don't you
both join me for breakfast...?
**[00:31] ---**
Sounds good, yes?!
**[00:35] ---**
Can you please be a bit quieter?
**[00:39] ---**
Even with your Wu Xing Ti, my fists are
capable of destroying you from the inside.
**[00:43] ---**
P-Please wait!
**[00:45] ---**
We came here to speak
with you about Red Dragon!
**[00:49] ---**
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
**[00:52] ---**
It's a small island country.
**[00:54] ---**
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
**[00:59] ---**
and plundered a third of the land.
**[01:02] ---**
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
**[01:05] ---**
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
**[01:09] ---**
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
**[01:12] ---**
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
**[01:16] ---**
Our guardian deity, Red Dragon,
didn't protect the land.
**[01:23] ---**
Imperial Era 3015, September...
**[01:26] ---**
Our country was no longer ours.
**[03:06] ---**
And you folks are?
**[03:08] ---**
Huh? Can't you make an educated guess?
**[03:11] ---**
Ah, nice to meet you! My name
is Shaddy, and this here is Sol.
**[03:15] ---**
We came here to greet you
by order of Lord Ka Grava.
**[03:20] ---**
Are you both Bounded Ones?
**[03:22] ---**
Shaddy is.
**[03:24] ---**
Sol is a human-monster half-breed.
**[03:27] ---**
He's a Mixed One.
**[03:28] ---**
A Bounded One and a Mixed One are acting
as messengers for the Undead Merchant?
**[03:32] ---**
Yes! Lord Ka Grava treats
everyone without discrimination!
**[03:37] ---**
Oh...?
**[03:39] ---**
Stop with this prattle.
**[03:40] ---**
We need to hurry so that we're not found
by the Kouran forces surrounding the city.
**[03:44] ---**
Ah! I'm so sorry! Sol is always like this.
**[03:48] ---**
Um, let's go to the city for now, shall we?
**[03:51] ---**
Okay.
**[03:55] ---**
I'm sorry to disturb you.
**[03:59] ---**
This better be worth waking me up...
**[04:02] ---**
Yes!
**[04:04] ---**
Well, Ka Grava...
**[04:06] ---**
He was asleep?!
**[04:08] ---**
Yes! Over there...
**[04:19] ---**
During the one month we surrounded him,
that tin can was sleeping all along?!
**[04:28] ---**
Lord Ka Grava!
**[04:32] ---**
Lord Ka Grava!
**[04:39] ---**
Ta-daaaa!
**[04:53] ---**
Lord Ka Grava!
**[04:56] ---**
They're here!
**[04:58] ---**
Oh? So you're members of
the combined expedition, yes?
**[05:02] ---**
Now, come on board!
**[05:04] ---**
Let's have a nice chat at my manor!
**[05:09] ---**
Finally shows up, eh?
**[05:12] ---**
Today's the day I'm gonna get back
at you for making a fool out of me!
**[05:27] ---**
Gotcha!
**[05:28] ---**
I killed Ka Grava!
**[05:31] ---**
We're gonna crush Haiga by force
before D'natia intervenes!
**[05:35] ---**
Yes!
**[05:37] ---**
Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
**[05:51] ---**
The overhaul took one
whole month, and now look!
**[05:58] ---**
Shaddy!
**[05:59] ---**
Alley-oop!
**[06:07] ---**
Well, now, I kept you waiting!
**[06:08] ---**
I must say, Gakusho shows great taste
in aiming for my costliest part!
**[06:14] ---**
Gakusho, as in the Kouran general?
**[06:17] ---**
Why, yes! She was hailed as a master
sniper during the Seven Year War.
**[06:22] ---**
She seems to have a grudge against me,
even after I sold her guns and gunpowder.
**[06:29] ---**
There's no sense having all these guns
if we don't have the gunpowder for them!
**[06:33] ---**
The price for gunpowder has been inflating
in Nil Kamui and even in our country!
**[06:37] ---**
There's no doubt that Ka Grava
is cornering the market!
**[06:40] ---**
That bastard!
**[06:41] ---**
He inflated the price of gunpowder
after he sold the guns for cheap!
**[06:49] ---**
Retreat!
**[06:50] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[06:51] ---**
He's gonna pay for this...!
**[06:56] ---**
Kouran's forces will lay siege to this city,
**[06:59] ---**
believing that you're helping
to fund the revolutionary army.
**[07:02] ---**
Hm... It seems it will be difficult
to maintain Haiga's neutral position.
**[07:08] ---**
This is the current image of Haiga's main gate.
**[07:12] ---**
Looks like Kouran's pride,
the steam tank brigade, is in position...
**[07:15] ---**
I doubt even Haiga's walls
would hold more than a day.
**[07:18] ---**
It seems Kouran is going on the offensive,
knowing that D'natia is closing in.
**[07:23] ---**
I know!
**[07:24] ---**
After battle commences in the city,
we can draw D'natia's forces in,
**[07:28] ---**
and once confusion arises among the forces,
we can just assassinate both of their leaders!
**[07:35] ---**
Nah, that's, you know...?
**[07:37] ---**
I do think it's the simplest approach.
**[07:39] ---**
No! We need to find a way to
prevent this without hurting anyone!
**[07:44] ---**
For example?
**[07:45] ---**
Why not speak with them once more?
**[07:49] ---**
Ibuki, it's a bit too late for that,
don't you think?
**[07:51] ---**
Certainly! I think that idea's fine, too.
**[07:55] ---**
If we speak with them, I'm sure they'll listen...
**[07:57] ---**
Hm... Well, how about this, then, Ibuki?
**[08:00] ---**
If you're able to avoid this
battle through negotiation,
**[08:04] ---**
then I'll acknowledge you as being
worthy to hear Red Dragon's message.
**[08:13] ---**
Lord Ka Grava?
**[08:14] ---**
You're there, aren't you?
**[08:17] ---**
Oh? What is it, Lou?
**[08:19] ---**
I wanted to give you some
information regarding Ibuki.
**[08:24] ---**
Oh?
**[08:25] ---**
He holds mysterious powers
as a Child of Contract.
**[08:28] ---**
Yes... He has the power to kill anyone in front
of him in exchange for the life of another.
**[08:35] ---**
Hm... And that's why you
agreed with Ibuki's idea?
**[08:39] ---**
That's a harsh way to "negotiate," though.
**[08:44] ---**
It's all for him to decide...
**[08:49] ---**
I'll go, even if I have to go by myself.
**[08:51] ---**
Oh, no! One person alone
isn't enough to carry the burden.
**[08:55] ---**
Then, I'll go with him.
**[08:58] ---**
Take this with you.
**[09:00] ---**
This is...?
**[09:01] ---**
It's my letter of apology to Gakusho.
**[09:04] ---**
Apology?
**[09:05] ---**
Yes, an apology for the
one month I've been asleep.
**[09:08] ---**
In any case, if an Imperial takes this letter of
apology to her, I'm sure she'll at least listen.
**[09:14] ---**
I'd like to avoid war, too.
**[09:17] ---**
I hope that you will be able to
find a way to get through to her.
**[09:21] ---**
Yes!
**[09:23] ---**
That's the spirit, Ibuki! Spirit! Spirit!
**[09:29] ---**
I see... So this is what you
were preparing for, Lou...
**[09:33] ---**
Yes...
**[09:35] ---**
If he uses that power again,
**[09:39] ---**
we may be able to determine the
true nature of Red Dragon's power.
**[09:43] ---**
We must investigate them thoroughly.
**[09:49] ---**
Wu Xing Ti | The Wu Xing Ti, a technique
allowing the replacement of human parts.
**[09:55] ---**
Lou Chun Wah, this is as far as you will go.
**[09:58] ---**
And to think I guided him here...
**[10:01] ---**
Scary, scary...
**[10:03] ---**
I'll save you no matter what happens.
**[10:06] ---**
I won't abandon my friend.
**[10:10] ---**
I'll be going.
**[10:22] ---**
I heard Ka Grava's messenger was a descendant
of the Imperials, but all we got was a kid.
**[10:27] ---**
That sword...
**[10:52] ---**
Now, no one can bother us.
**[10:55] ---**
Come in.
**[10:59] ---**
We'll have to ask you to enter alone.
**[11:01] ---**
I'll be waiting.
**[11:04] ---**
Remember that.
**[11:13] ---**
I'm not big on formalities with my superiors.
**[11:16] ---**
They scare me!
**[11:17] ---**
Oh, hush...
**[11:20] ---**
Besides, we need to buy as much time
as possible while Ibuki is in negotiation.
**[11:28] ---**
I'm the one who wants to sigh...
**[11:28] ---**
Haiga outskirts | D'natia force's camp site
**[11:31] ---**
Hello?
**[11:33] ---**
Um, I'm looking for a certain person...
**[11:36] ---**
Where is Lady Ulrika?
**[11:41] ---**
So we finally meet...
**[11:43] ---**
...Sir Sweallow Clazzvali.
**[11:46] ---**
I'm the acting subleader for the third corps
of the Black Dragon Knights, Ulrika Ledezma.
**[11:54] ---**
I'm the Leader of One-Thousand,
General Seisha of Kouran, Gakusho.
**[11:59] ---**
My name is Ibuki.
**[12:01] ---**
I bring to you a letter from
Ka Grava Rai Fuu Gramstahl.
**[12:05] ---**
What...?
**[12:06] ---**
It's a letter of apology from Ka Grava.
**[12:08] ---**
Ka Grava?!
**[12:13] ---**
Wh-What are you doing?!
**[12:17] ---**
Stop this farce at once.
**[12:20] ---**
I'm only meeting you
because you're an Imperial.
**[12:24] ---**
Are you really going to attack Haiga?
**[12:27] ---**
Can't you tell?
**[12:28] ---**
I need to crush the source of
the revolutionary army's funds.
**[12:31] ---**
Even so, you're going to kill
innocent people just for that?!
**[12:35] ---**
I lost a lot of comrades myself.
**[12:39] ---**
Even General Kohkaku,
who took good care of me.
**[12:42] ---**
This will even everything out, kiddo.
**[12:47] ---**
I wonder if Ibuki has noticed by now...
**[12:50] ---**
Gakusho has no intention
of reading my letter...
**[12:53] ---**
...and is in no way willing to talk.
**[12:57] ---**
In other words, he...
**[12:58] ---**
...only has one choice...
**[13:00] ---**
He needs to kill Gakusho to stop the war.
**[13:04] ---**
With her gone, the remaining soldiers and
D'natia's forces won't be fighting in Haiga.
**[13:12] ---**
So what? Don't you have anything
else up your sleeve, Imperial kiddo?
**[13:17] ---**
Ka Grava and the others knew this was
going to happen from the beginning...
**[13:21] ---**
Is killing her my only choice...?
**[13:24] ---**
But in order to do that, I need to
offer a friend to the dragon again...
**[13:29] ---**
But that's...!
**[13:34] ---**
What's with that look of yours?!
**[13:39] ---**
Wha--?!
**[13:40] ---**
Eykha!
**[13:40] ---**
Ibuki!
**[13:42] ---**
That other brat?!
**[13:45] ---**
You savages are out of your minds!
**[13:48] ---**
Shoot me.
**[13:51] ---**
Shoot me with that.
**[13:53] ---**
Eykha...?
**[13:55] ---**
Just like Kohkaku, you will be scorched
by the dragon's flame, Gakusho.
**[14:01] ---**
What is she saying...?
**[14:04] ---**
Hurry!
**[14:05] ---**
If you kill me, Gakusho will die too.
**[14:08] ---**
But... But you're...
**[14:13] ---**
...not my friend!
**[14:15] ---**
Killing me will determine that.
**[14:17] ---**
Wait!
**[14:19] ---**
If she dies, I'll die?
**[14:23] ---**
Is that how they were able
to defeat the general?
**[14:27] ---**
Gakusho is aware of General Kohkaku's demise.
**[14:31] ---**
That will lead her to believe
in the power that Ibuki holds.
**[14:36] ---**
So, doubt begets doubt.
**[14:40] ---**
What should I do?
**[14:42] ---**
Do you seek power, Imperial?
**[14:51] ---**
No!
**[14:52] ---**
If my flames are what you desire,
then offer me an equivalent.
**[14:57] ---**
Ibuki?
**[14:59] ---**
No...!
**[15:00] ---**
I don't want to kill anyone!
**[15:02] ---**
Killing others won't solve anything!
**[15:06] ---**
He's serious...
**[15:08] ---**
He seriously thinks he can kill me.
**[15:10] ---**
Ibuki!
**[15:12] ---**
There... There has to be a way!
**[15:16] ---**
Ka Grava?!
**[15:18] ---**
The overhaul took one
whole month, and now look!
**[15:22] ---**
He inflated the price of gunpowder...
**[15:25] ---**
It's my letter of apology to Gakusho.
**[15:28] ---**
Stop this farce at once.
**[15:32] ---**
I see!
**[15:34] ---**
She thinks Ka Grava died...
**[15:38] ---**
In that case, notifying her that he's alive
may lead me to a different choice!
**[15:47] ---**
General Gakusho, I beseech you!
**[15:50] ---**
Please read that letter!
**[15:52] ---**
That was written by
Ka Grava himself! He's alive!
**[15:56] ---**
What...?
**[15:57] ---**
Even if he's some machine,
I shot him in the head...
**[16:01] ---**
Wait... Could he truly be,
as his name suggests, undead?
**[16:05] ---**
You know what to do!
**[16:07] ---**
Please, if you want to
save yourself, listen to me!
**[16:11] ---**
What now...?
**[16:12] ---**
If Ka Grava is alive,
there's room to negotiate, but...
**[16:17] ---**
After she reads the letter, then what...?
**[16:19] ---**
What's to negotiate...?
**[16:21] ---**
But if this isn't done, I'm going to
end up killing Eykha and Gakusho...
**[16:27] ---**
Bring it, now!
**[16:29] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[16:32] ---**
The stamp looks authentic...
**[16:35] ---**
But...
**[16:37] ---**
I see now... That shrewd bastard!
**[16:41] ---**
It's no use conducting a war after seeing this!
**[16:43] ---**
Um, excuse me?
**[16:45] ---**
Isn't it a letter of apology...?
**[16:47] ---**
Apology?
**[16:50] ---**
It's a peace treaty!
**[16:52] ---**
I've got no complaints with
the conditions written here.
**[16:55] ---**
Then...!
**[17:04] ---**
Send word to our forces!
**[17:06] ---**
Haiga has accepted our demands!
**[17:09] ---**
Moving forward, we will enter
Haiga as an occupying force!
**[17:14] ---**
Be forewarned that if there are any rioters,
I'm gonna drill them full of holes!
**[17:21] ---**
Ka Grava must have set something up...
**[17:25] ---**
During my sleep...
**[17:26] ---**
No, during my overhaul, an unfortunate
misunderstanding has occurred,
**[17:30] ---**
and for that, I would like to apologize.
**[17:32] ---**
It was definitely not my intention
to dismiss your advancement.
**[17:36] ---**
The government of Haiga
will stop any further resistance
**[17:41] ---**
and will regrettably accept abidance
under the rules of Kouran's security.
**[17:44] ---**
In addition to the costs of being stationed here,
I will provide the expected concessions.
**[17:49] ---**
I look forward to your
sound and right decision...
**[17:52] ---**
Stationed...?
**[17:54] ---**
That's right...
**[17:55] ---**
I don't mind fighting, but killing
and plundering isn't my thing.
**[18:01] ---**
I have a personal grudge
against Ka Grava, but...
**[18:04] ---**
...for now, I'll forget about that.
**[18:07] ---**
Thank goodness...
**[18:09] ---**
Well, if you'll excuse us.
**[18:11] ---**
Just a sec, Ibuki.
**[18:13] ---**
Huh?
**[18:14] ---**
At least you're different from
the other spineless savages.
**[18:18] ---**
Wha--?!
**[18:19] ---**
Ibuki is going to become king of this island.
**[18:22] ---**
Looks like you're going to be
one tough king to deal with!
**[18:28] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[18:31] ---**
Speaking strictly of results, killing Gakusho
**[18:33] ---**
or sealing the negotiation by
having her read the letter...
**[18:36] ---**
Those were the only two choices
you had from the very beginning.
**[18:40] ---**
The latter choice was very difficult
to achieve based on the situation,
**[18:44] ---**
but even when you were at a loss,
you held to your ideal to the very end.
**[18:50] ---**
Ibuki...
**[18:52] ---**
I will acknowledge you as a person
worthy of imparting my knowledge to.
**[18:56] ---**
But the result was Haiga
being occupied by Kouran...
**[19:01] ---**
I'm merely having them stationed
here for security purposes.
**[19:05] ---**
Besides, Kouran isn't the only one
who will be stationed here.
**[19:07] ---**
Huh?
**[19:09] ---**
D'natia's ambassador should arrive shortly.
**[19:13] ---**
Who is this ambassador?
**[19:15] ---**
Oh, someone you know very well.
**[19:19] ---**
Sweallow...?
**[19:21] ---**
Kouran and D'natia...
**[19:23] ---**
By bringing them in at the same time,
the balance of powers can be kept...
**[19:26] ---**
I guess we were all
manipulated by you all along...
**[19:31] ---**
But this is just a temporary fix.
**[19:34] ---**
Their forces led me to
surrender Haiga's independence.
**[19:38] ---**
This is fact.
**[19:40] ---**
That's about all a petty merchant can do.
**[19:43] ---**
Now then, can you gather everyone?
**[19:45] ---**
As promised, I'll talk about Red Dragon.
**[19:48] ---**
Yes!
**[19:52] ---**
And I did have a promise with Red Dragon...
**[19:57] ---**
To help the Imperial that would,
one day, come in search of me.
**[20:07] ---**
Why didn't you kill me?
**[20:10] ---**
Is it because I'm not your friend?
**[20:12] ---**
Or is it because I am your friend?
**[20:15] ---**
You're... my friend, Ibuki.
**[20:20] ---**
Th...
**[20:23] ---**
Thank you...
**[20:26] ---**
Now then, Red Dragon, was it?
**[20:29] ---**
I have a message from him.
**[20:32] ---**
A message from Red Dragon?
**[20:34] ---**
But before that, we need
to listen to Eykha's story.
**[20:38] ---**
Me?
**[20:39] ---**
Yes, about the revolutionary
army's first expedition...
**[20:44] ---**
...that was destroyed while attempting
to hunt Red Dragon, who went mad.
**[20:49] ---**
Eykha...
**[20:50] ---**
That's right... I didn't talk about that.
**[20:54] ---**
Maybe I wanted to forget about it...
**[21:12] ---**
Izun was the leader of the first expedition,
and a Bounded One bonded with a Stone Giant.
**[21:19] ---**
He initially thought he
could persuade Red Dragon.
**[21:45] ---**
That's Red Dragon...?
**[21:51] ---**
Act 4
**[21:52] ---**
Act 4 | Amid Enemies
**[23:32] ---**
Act 5
**[23:32] ---**
Act 5: "In a Fog."
**[23:35] ---**
The undead revived from the abyss stand
in the way of those seeking Red Dragon.
**[23:42] ---**
Is there no place where
one can gain happiness?!

**[00:14] ---**
Val!
**[00:19] ---**
Red Dragon...
**[00:21] ---**
Everyone believed in you...
**[00:23] ---**
That you would fight alongside
the revolutionary army.
**[00:27] ---**
But instead, you're going to kill us?
**[00:33] ---**
At the core of the first expedition
**[00:35] ---**
was Izun, a Bounded One bound
to a gargantuan Stone Giant.
**[00:39] ---**
Our fate was sealed the
moment he fell so easily.
**[00:48] ---**
Izun!
**[00:51] ---**
Izun, what are you trying to tell me...?
**[00:53] ---**
Stop it! Don't die!
**[01:12] ---**
Red Dragon will not save us...
**[01:17] ---**
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
**[01:20] ---**
It's a small island country.
**[01:22] ---**
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
**[01:27] ---**
and plundered a third of the land.
**[01:30] ---**
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
**[01:33] ---**
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
**[01:37] ---**
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
**[01:40] ---**
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
**[01:44] ---**
The island's guardian deity,
Red Dragon, suddenly went mad
**[01:48] ---**
and began indiscriminately
burning villages and killing people.
**[01:53] ---**
Imperial Era 3015, September...
**[01:56] ---**
Our country was no longer ours.
**[03:31] ---**
Nil Kamui | Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
**[03:34] ---**
Ah, now I know the meaning of this message.
**[03:38] ---**
Back then, the predecessor of red told me this...
**[03:48] ---**
Friend...
**[03:49] ---**
There will come a day when I am greatly
changed from how I have been in the past.
**[03:54] ---**
No... It will be worse than that.
**[03:57] ---**
What do you mean?
**[03:59] ---**
When this comes to pass,
can you visit Ogani Volcano?
**[04:04] ---**
That volcano will likely be the last place left
where I can maintain my sense of reason.
**[04:13] ---**
Are you trying to tell me that you'll
leave something at Ogani Volcano?
**[04:40] ---**
That was Red Dragon's message...?
**[04:43] ---**
But back then, Red Dragon
showed no sense of reason.
**[04:47] ---**
I'll let you all decide
whether you believe it or not.
**[04:59] ---**
Hey, so where's the bath supposed to be?
**[05:05] ---**
G-Gakusho?!
**[05:08] ---**
Well, well...
**[05:10] ---**
Kouran's stationing was agreed on,
so I came right away to take a bath, but...
**[05:15] ---**
Damn, this place is huge.
**[05:18] ---**
I'll lead you there.
**[05:20] ---**
Hurry up and follow me.
**[05:22] ---**
Oh, a Mixed One? Looking cute there.
**[05:26] ---**
I'll stab you.
**[05:30] ---**
Is that the Leader of One-Thousand,
General Gakusho?
**[05:37] ---**
Kouran sure is diverse...
**[05:42] ---**
Me, speak with General Gakusho?
**[05:45] ---**
Yes, in regards to establishing coexistence
between the forces here in Haiga.
**[05:49] ---**
That is an important subject.
**[05:52] ---**
But... isn't that your job as ambassador?
**[05:55] ---**
Ah, well, about that...
**[06:00] ---**
My Master only recently arrived in Nil Kamui,
so he isn't aware of the situation here.
**[06:05] ---**
Ah, yeah! That's it!
**[06:08] ---**
I forgot that this all came
together on Ka Grava's whim.
**[06:12] ---**
Understood.
**[06:16] ---**
Do your best, Ulrika!
**[06:23] ---**
Sir Sweallow Clazzvali.
**[06:27] ---**
Um, you're...?
**[06:31] ---**
I am the military force's bishop,
Father Enumael Meschwitz.
**[06:36] ---**
May I borrow you for a moment?
**[06:40] ---**
Uh, sure...
**[06:47] ---**
Damn, this feels great...
**[06:51] ---**
So, why are you folks in here with me?
**[06:54] ---**
They said this bath was open during
the morning for the ladies, so...
**[06:58] ---**
That wasn't what I was asking.
**[07:01] ---**
Oh, come now, General Gakusho.
**[07:04] ---**
I do believe I know your "tastes."
**[07:07] ---**
I would be honored to become
better acquainted with you...
**[07:11] ---**
Lady Gakusho...
**[07:14] ---**
Lady Kohkaku promoted me
to my current position!
**[07:18] ---**
Kohkaku...
**[07:21] ---**
I heard a rumor that Lady
Kohkaku was finished off
**[07:25] ---**
by someone from Kouran,
not the revolutionary army.
**[07:29] ---**
Impossible! That can't be!
**[07:31] ---**
Lady Kohkaku was planning on exterminating
Red Dragon before the expedition.
**[07:37] ---**
After what happened, I plan to
carry out her will in her place.
**[07:41] ---**
My main force will be heading
out to Ogani Volcano tomorrow.
**[07:45] ---**
Sorry, but that's that.
**[07:47] ---**
It's not that I want to take a bath!
**[07:50] ---**
But I was told to bring you in here!
**[07:54] ---**
Wait! Don't touch my armor!
**[07:57] ---**
But it'll rust! Right?
**[07:59] ---**
There!
**[08:05] ---**
Ah, so you're Ulrika.
**[08:08] ---**
Um, Leader of One-Thousand, Gakusho...?
**[08:10] ---**
I asked for an unofficial meeting...
**[08:12] ---**
Well, thereÕs no better
place than here, is there?
**[08:16] ---**
But there are others here...
**[08:19] ---**
You know they're part of
the combined expedition, right?
**[08:23] ---**
Sir Sweallow's party members?
**[08:26] ---**
Why, yes, we're quite close.
**[08:35] ---**
Notification was sent to Kouran and D'natia
**[08:37] ---**
to withhold all military activity until
the combined expedition finds Red Dragon.
**[08:42] ---**
Why did you attack Haiga?
**[08:44] ---**
Because rumor had it that Ka Grava
was backing the revolutionary army.
**[08:49] ---**
But it was just a misunderstanding.
**[08:51] ---**
According to our pact, D'natia and Kouran
won't conduct any battles in Haiga.
**[08:57] ---**
Sounds okay, right?
**[08:59] ---**
That's it for our unofficial meeting.
**[09:03] ---**
Please wait.
**[09:04] ---**
Huh?
**[09:06] ---**
Moving forward, our countries'
approach in Haiga should...
**[09:08] ---**
C'mon, I'm not good with politics...
**[09:13] ---**
Ah... I'm sorry.
**[09:15] ---**
Well, well, if it isn't the Imperial.
**[09:17] ---**
Imperial?
**[09:19] ---**
So, he's part of the expedition?
**[09:22] ---**
Excuse me. I was looking for Eykha, and...
**[09:25] ---**
I was close to being
assassinated by this kiddo here.
**[09:29] ---**
N-Not at all!
**[09:31] ---**
But, if that power you spoke of
is true, don't ever use it again.
**[09:38] ---**
Or is there something you want to gain,
even if it means losing everything?
**[09:42] ---**
I don't know...
**[09:44] ---**
Honest, aren't you?
**[09:49] ---**
Gakusho...
**[09:51] ---**
The hostility she exhibited
earlier is gone now...
**[10:00] ---**
Sir Sweallow, what are you
going to do with this?
**[10:04] ---**
A power that can paint everything in black...
**[10:08] ---**
It's called the "Black Dragon's Scale."
**[10:12] ---**
It can't be!
**[10:13] ---**
I heard alchemists created it from
D'natia's source of magic, Black Dragon.
**[10:21] ---**
Black Dragon...
**[10:25] ---**
Here in Nil Kamui, the power
of the Black Dragon Knights
**[10:28] ---**
and Kouran's magic aren't as effective
as they are back in their homelands.
**[10:32] ---**
You are aware of that, yes?
**[10:34] ---**
Yeah, I heard about that before.
**[10:38] ---**
Ever since coming to this island,
I haven't really been in my groove.
**[10:41] ---**
That's because this land is greatly
affected by Red Dragon's power.
**[10:46] ---**
But...
**[10:48] ---**
...with this single scale, the land's magical
property will shift to that of Black Dragon.
**[10:55] ---**
If used properly, this entire island can be
placed under the power of Black Dragon.
**[11:02] ---**
But this island's water, crops, and nature itself
are harmonized through Red Dragon's power.
**[11:09] ---**
If that is forcibly changed, then...
**[11:11] ---**
That is something a mere attendant
should not worry about.
**[11:15] ---**
"If it is to defeat Red Dragon,
its use can't be helped."
**[11:19] ---**
So says our Emperor...
**[11:22] ---**
So, it's our secret weapon
to defeat Red Dragon?
**[11:26] ---**
I have faith that you will lead
D'natia to a bright future.
**[11:34] ---**
Magic | Magic is a systematic art which controls
the world's energy through human will.
**[11:41] ---**
I'm going to Ogani Volcano.
**[11:44] ---**
Does that mean you trust my information?
**[11:49] ---**
Yes.
**[11:50] ---**
I need to see Red Dragon as soon as possible.
**[11:54] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[11:56] ---**
If it's painful to you, Eykha, then...
**[11:57] ---**
Ibuki, if that's how you feel, then I'll go too.
**[12:00] ---**
I have no objections at all.
**[12:04] ---**
If I have to use that scale, then this isn't
something I want to move forward with...
**[12:08] ---**
Is the good knight from D'natia in opposition?
**[12:11] ---**
You need to go through the desert
to get to Ogani Volcano, right?
**[12:14] ---**
Danger is dangerous!
**[12:15] ---**
Not to worry. We will accompany you to
Fort Rosweisse, situated near the volcano.
**[12:20] ---**
Ah, uh... Okay...
**[12:23] ---**
Good for you, gaining yet
another beautiful companion.
**[12:27] ---**
Meryl...
**[12:30] ---**
Well then, it's settled.
**[12:32] ---**
Can I leave the rest to you, Shaddy? Sol?
**[12:36] ---**
Yes.
**[12:37] ---**
Will you be accompanying us, Lord Ka Grava?
**[12:39] ---**
Didn't I say Red Dragon was my friend?
**[12:42] ---**
I can't turn my back on my friend in need.
**[12:44] ---**
Besides, don't you folks have needs to cover?
**[12:47] ---**
Oh!
**[12:49] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[12:50] ---**
But due to a certain someone,
we will need plenty of dishware,
**[12:54] ---**
so my company will prepare it.
**[12:57] ---**
C'mon, Meryl...
**[13:09] ---**
Is it okay, leaving General Gakusho behind?
**[13:12] ---**
She isn't in Haiga anymore.
**[13:16] ---**
It seems she headed to
Ogani Volcano with her associates.
**[13:19] ---**
Well, isn't that a coincidence?
**[13:21] ---**
As you know, I have little awareness
of what the forces are up to.
**[13:25] ---**
Where's Ibuki?
**[13:26] ---**
He said something about wanting
to speak with Ka Grava.
**[13:29] ---**
I see.
**[13:30] ---**
Ka Grava... Were my father and all the previous
kings granted this power from Red Dragon?
**[13:38] ---**
Hmm... So, your power lets you take
one's life with the flames of a dragon
**[13:44] ---**
by offering another one's life to the dragon?
**[13:49] ---**
The offering must be someone
who is precious to me...
**[13:52] ---**
It seems to mean the life of a friend...
**[13:55] ---**
Hmm... I've never heard of such a thing before.
**[13:59] ---**
Is Red Dragon's lack of sanity the
reason I've been cursed like this?
**[14:04] ---**
History makes note of a
certain king of the dead.
**[14:08] ---**
King of the dead?
**[14:09] ---**
The power that Imperial held allowed him
to raise those he killed as Returned Ones.
**[14:17] ---**
Returned Ones...!
**[14:19] ---**
Those who come back from
the dead to assault others?
**[14:22] ---**
But that's just a legend...
**[14:25] ---**
I haven't met any Returned Ones before.
**[14:27] ---**
But legend says that those
killed by the king of the dead
**[14:31] ---**
will always rise as Returned Ones, forming
a force said to be in the tens of thousands.
**[14:35] ---**
Is that a power granted by Red Dragon, too?
**[14:39] ---**
The dragons have the power to
revive as many times as needed
**[14:42] ---**
and the power to take the lives of others.
**[14:44] ---**
Killing and reviving... I feel this
is originally the same in power.
**[14:50] ---**
If they're supposed to be the same,
I'd rather have the power of revival...
**[15:04] ---**
Hey! This is supposed to be two
days' worth of water for everyone!
**[15:08] ---**
Sorry...
**[15:09] ---**
I just wanted to have a
drink with my own hands.
**[15:12] ---**
Sir Sweallow's "just" is
a matter of life or death.
**[15:15] ---**
Hm, my Ka Grava Car has a bit of reserve,
but most of the water was loaded there.
**[15:22] ---**
If that's the case, I'll go on ahead
to look for an oasis around the area.
**[15:27] ---**
If you'd like, we can just meet up later.
**[15:30] ---**
Are you okay going by yourself?
**[15:31] ---**
Yes...
**[15:33] ---**
Alone...
**[15:41] ---**
Where are you headed, Lou?
**[15:43] ---**
I won't let anyone get in the way of
my offering Red Dragon to you, my Lord.
**[15:56] ---**
Ogani Volcano | isolated village near the base
**[15:59] ---**
No more...!
**[16:00] ---**
What's this about?
**[16:02] ---**
We're not sure what happened, but many
like him have come from the volcano.
**[16:09] ---**
Returned Ones...
**[16:11] ---**
They were... Returned Ones...
**[16:13] ---**
They walked through the lava
as if it was nothing!
**[16:18] ---**
Returned Ones...?
**[16:20] ---**
Do they really exist...?
**[16:23] ---**
Question them and see if we can
get information on Red Dragon.
**[16:25] ---**
Yes!
**[16:44] ---**
You...
**[16:46] ---**
So, that's what you're looking for...
**[16:49] ---**
Even if you're in debt to Kohkaku,
**[16:53] ---**
there's no way a clear-headed person like
yourself would willingly hunt Red Dragon.
**[16:57] ---**
If so, this must be your "reason."
**[17:01] ---**
Lady Kohkaku's research finally
arrived from our homeland.
**[17:06] ---**
The Gold Wedge.
**[17:10] ---**
With that, we're supposed to be able to shift
the land's magic property to that of Kouran.
**[17:16] ---**
In other words, all magic
besides that of Kouran,
**[17:19] ---**
such as D'natia's and Nil Kamui's,
will lose its power.
**[17:21] ---**
Of course, Red Dragon as well...
**[17:24] ---**
What a frightening item...
**[17:27] ---**
If you want it, take it.
**[17:29] ---**
Well then, I will.
**[17:31] ---**
Wait.
**[17:32] ---**
That alone won't do any good.
**[17:34] ---**
Take this...!
**[17:37] ---**
Just as rumored, I see you have no hesitation
in assassinating even allies, Lou Chun Wah!
**[17:42] ---**
I have no idea what you had planned, but you've
made a mistake in killing my subordinate!
**[17:54] ---**
That sword...
**[17:56] ---**
Beautiful...
**[17:58] ---**
Hand it over...!
**[17:59] ---**
You have that rifle of yours.
**[18:03] ---**
I don't want this...!
**[18:05] ---**
That sword is mine...!
**[18:14] ---**
It seems she had a counter skill ready.
**[18:18] ---**
She diverted my strike by a bit.
**[18:20] ---**
One more strike should finish her off!
**[18:22] ---**
Let's not do this, Lou...
**[18:24] ---**
She won't make it anyways.
**[18:26] ---**
Leave her paltry soul... I'd rather you not
let that female Black Dragon Knight get away.
**[18:31] ---**
Black Dragon... Meaning Ulrika?
**[18:33] ---**
Yes, I'm sure her soul is quite wonderful...
**[18:46] ---**
Lady Gakusho!
**[18:47] ---**
Lady Gakusho...!
**[18:48] ---**
Hurry and get the medics!
**[18:52] ---**
What...? What are you trying to say?!
**[19:00] ---**
The next day...
**[19:00] ---**
D'natia territory | Fort Rosweisse desert outskirts
**[19:02] ---**
A little farther until Fort Rosweisse.
**[19:04] ---**
That means Ogani Volcano is close, too!
**[19:07] ---**
Ah...
**[19:08] ---**
I'm sorry for that, everyone.
**[19:10] ---**
I guess I'll have you feed me after all, Meryl.
**[19:16] ---**
It seems like whatever tool
Sir Sweallow uses always breaks.
**[19:20] ---**
It can't be...
**[19:21] ---**
It's like a curse that I've had since I was a kid.
**[19:25] ---**
I'm used to it by now.
**[19:27] ---**
Since childhood?
**[19:28] ---**
If it's a curse, don't you want to get rid of it?
**[19:33] ---**
Well... In all honesty, I'd like to get
rid of it, no matter what it takes.
**[19:39] ---**
Could it be that you think your
power is a curse, too, Ibuki?
**[19:42] ---**
Ah, yes...
**[19:44] ---**
That's why if there's a way to get rid--
**[19:46] ---**
You can't be serious about letting
such a wonderful power go to waste!
**[19:49] ---**
Hey, now hold on there!
**[19:51] ---**
Speaking of, we haven't heard anything about
Ibuki's power, but do you know something, Lou?
**[19:58] ---**
How about you, Eykha?
**[19:59] ---**
Excuse me.
**[20:01] ---**
We decided to hurry ahead to Fort Rosweisse.
**[20:04] ---**
I will leave my guards with you.
**[20:06] ---**
That's fine, but did something happen?
**[20:09] ---**
The Returned Ones...
**[20:12] ---**
Villagers nearby escaped to the fort.
**[20:16] ---**
They claimed that
Returned Ones had appeared.
**[20:18] ---**
You mean this island's
legend of the dead rising?
**[20:22] ---**
Yes... I do believe it is a mistake, but...
**[20:25] ---**
...I still need to investigate.
**[20:27] ---**
Now, then.
**[20:44] ---**
Stop it!
**[20:46] ---**
I said stop!
**[20:56] ---**
Could they be the Returned Ones...?!
**[21:10] ---**
No!
**[21:11] ---**
Ibuki! Sir Sweallow!
**[21:22] ---**
Gakusho...?
**[21:32] ---**
It can't be...
**[21:35] ---**
She's a Returned One...?!
**[21:50] ---**

**[00:11] ---**
Ibuki!
**[00:15] ---**
Why didn't you call me earlier?
**[00:17] ---**
Wait, Eykha!
**[00:19] ---**
That's Gakusho!
**[00:23] ---**
Eykha!
**[00:25] ---**
Val, again!
**[00:34] ---**
Is she really dead?
**[00:48] ---**
Are you certain this was Gakusho's unit?
**[00:52] ---**
It seems they were headed to Ogani Volcano.
**[00:55] ---**
What happened...?
**[00:57] ---**
Subleader!
**[00:58] ---**
We found one of the villagers.
**[01:00] ---**
A Returned One... did all this...
**[01:03] ---**
Many villagers escaped to our fort saying
that they were attacked by Returned Ones.
**[01:09] ---**
That's why we came to investigate.
**[01:11] ---**
Please tell me... Did the Returned Ones
really appear in your village?
**[01:16] ---**
It's not only our village...
**[01:17] ---**
What?
**[01:18] ---**
Kouran's general was killed...
**[01:21] ---**
She took a hit to the neck...
**[01:23] ---**
General...?
**[01:24] ---**
Could it be...? Lady Gakusho?
**[01:27] ---**
Then she revived...
**[01:29] ---**
As a Returned One?
**[01:31] ---**
The general killed everyone,
and then they all revived too!
**[01:36] ---**
It's exactly like what happened in my village!
**[01:38] ---**
I've never heard of any instance
**[01:40] ---**
where those killed by a
Returned One became Returned Ones.
**[01:43] ---**
So, where could Lady Gakusho
and her unit of Returned Ones be?
**[01:50] ---**
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
**[01:52] ---**
It's a small island country.
**[01:54] ---**
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
**[01:59] ---**
and plundered a third of the land.
**[02:02] ---**
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
**[02:05] ---**
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
**[02:09] ---**
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
**[02:12] ---**
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
**[02:16] ---**
The guardian deity,
Red Dragon, attacked the people,
**[02:19] ---**
and the Returned Ones
of legend began to appear.
**[02:23] ---**
Imperial Era 3015, September...
**[02:26] ---**
Our country was no longer ours.
**[04:09] ---**
You all right?!
**[04:15] ---**
Is that the Kouran general?
**[04:17] ---**
What happened?!
**[04:29] ---**
Are you okay, Ibuki?
**[04:59] ---**
Hm, even if they are undead,
destroying their brain seems to stop them.
**[05:05] ---**
Pretty good, aren't you?
**[05:29] ---**
Everyone, I recommend we retreat for now.
**[05:35] ---**
Gakusho!\
**[05:36] ---**
Ibuki!
**[05:39] ---**
Ibuki, it seems you took a liking to Gakusho,
despite getting to know her only recently.
**[05:46] ---**
She... taught me the true meaning of resolve!
**[05:50] ---**
But look at her.
**[05:52] ---**
She's a Returned One now.
**[05:55] ---**
There are no instances within legend of any
Returned Ones regaining their former selves.
**[06:02] ---**
That means that the only thing we can do
for her now is to make her rest in peace.
**[06:08] ---**
Don't worry, I'll do it.
**[06:13] ---**
We can't just defeat her and leave it at that!
**[06:29] ---**
I do recall this flavor...
**[06:33] ---**
It's similar to that of a dragon.
**[06:36] ---**
So, the Returned Ones and Red Dragon...
**[06:39] ---**
...are probably connected.
**[06:41] ---**
Don't worry, Lou.
**[06:43] ---**
Returned Ones wounded
by me will never revive.
**[06:47] ---**
After all, whatever residual souls
remain of them are contained within me.
**[06:51] ---**
Yes, my lord...
**[06:53] ---**
That wound on her neck proves
that Gakusho was killed by someone.
**[06:58] ---**
Killed...? But why?
**[07:00] ---**
Not "why," but "Who was able to kill
someone so skilled as Gakusho?"
**[07:08] ---**
Red Dragon...
**[07:11] ---**
Answer me...!
**[07:15] ---**
Gakusho was someone precious to me...
**[07:19] ---**
Someone who could have become my friend.
**[07:21] ---**
Thus, she can be taken as an offering.
**[07:25] ---**
Indeed.
**[07:26] ---**
Do you seek power, Imperial?
**[07:29] ---**
I want to use your dragon flame to
incinerate the person who killed Gakusho!
**[07:34] ---**
Are you going to kill Gakusho again
to kill the person who killed her?!
**[07:40] ---**
This is the only thing I can do now...!
**[07:43] ---**
Oh...? Quite an interesting
idea he came up with.
**[07:48] ---**
Is the dragon's power that versatile?
**[07:52] ---**
The Returned Ones are
connected to Red Dragon.
**[07:55] ---**
In that case, I wager that Red Dragon knows
that you were the one who killed Gakusho.
**[08:02] ---**
I don't mind taking on that wager,
**[08:07] ---**
but I would lose the means to please
my lord if I were incinerated.
**[08:15] ---**
My flames will reach any,
no matter where they are.
**[08:19] ---**
Understood. Accept the equivalence!
**[08:25] ---**
At this distance, I can kill him
using my Bai Bu Quan.
**[08:29] ---**
There's no telling what
could happen, after all...
**[08:33] ---**
How unfortunate, Child of Contract...
**[08:38] ---**
Lady Ulrika.
**[08:40] ---**
Report on the expedition.
**[08:42] ---**
It seems as if one of them,
the Kouran female...
**[08:45] ---**
...is targeting the expedition members,
in an attempt to kill...
**[08:48] ---**
Members...?!
What is going on?! Answer me!
**[08:54] ---**
Looks like you were too focused
to sense his presence.
**[09:27] ---**
I am sorry to have arrived so late, my lord.
**[09:30] ---**
Hien...?
**[09:34] ---**
Yes, it is I, Hien.
**[09:36] ---**
Agito has ordered me to guard you again.
**[09:41] ---**
Gakusho...
**[09:42] ---**
How dare she try to take our Child of
Contract's life using the truce as a cover?
**[09:51] ---**
You idiot!
**[09:52] ---**
Wh-What are you saying?
**[09:55] ---**
Gakusho...
**[09:57] ---**
Gakusho was...
**[09:59] ---**
...a friend.
**[10:01] ---**
Nonsense!
**[10:03] ---**
Please stand up, Lord Ibuki.
**[10:05] ---**
Our citizens would misunderstand if they
saw you kneeling with your head down
**[10:08] ---**
over the corpse of one from Kouran.
**[10:10] ---**
Hien, you can't be friends with Ibuki.
**[10:14] ---**
Friends?
**[10:16] ---**
I'm merely a loyal subject
of the Child of Contract.
**[10:22] ---**
Returned One | Legendary beasts of mythology
that were said to have laid waste to Nil Kamui.
**[10:28] ---**
D'natia territory | Fort Rosweisse
**[10:31] ---**
Excuse me for calling you all here.
**[10:34] ---**
Sorry, but the fort houses
a lot of military secrets,
**[10:39] ---**
so we can't let the revolutionary
army or Kouran see its insides.
**[10:43] ---**
Why, of course.
**[10:47] ---**
Lady Lou Chun Wah?
**[10:49] ---**
Yes?
**[10:50] ---**
By any chance, did you meet
one of my subordinates?
**[10:53] ---**
One of them is currently missing.
**[10:56] ---**
I heard there is an item used in
D'natia that allows communication
**[10:59] ---**
with someone from afar, similar to
Kouran's communication seal...
**[11:03] ---**
He didn't respond...
**[11:05] ---**
That must be quite troubling...
**[11:07] ---**
Unfortunately, I don't know anything.
**[11:14] ---**
Gakusho and her unit weren't
the only Returned Ones?
**[11:18] ---**
There were many villages scattered
around the foot of Ogani Volcano.
**[11:22] ---**
They were attacked by Returned Ones,
**[11:24] ---**
and those attacked in turn
became Returned Ones themselves.
**[11:27] ---**
In the first place, where did
the Returned Ones appear from?
**[11:31] ---**
According to the villagers,
**[11:33] ---**
the first Returned Ones to appear
wore the revolutionary army's attires.
**[11:39] ---**
Are you trying to place blame on us?
**[11:41] ---**
Wait.
**[11:43] ---**
Were they from the first expedition...?
**[11:46] ---**
Yes. I heard that a unit
from the revolutionary army
**[11:49] ---**
headed to Ogani Volcano about a month ago.
**[11:54] ---**
Everyone rose as Returned Ones...?
**[12:04] ---**
What's this about, Ka Grava?
**[12:06] ---**
If that's true, that means the Returned Ones
are those who were killed by Red Dragon.
**[12:12] ---**
So you think my friend's message about leaving
something at Ogani Volcano is questionable?
**[12:18] ---**
Even so, we have to go to Ogani Volcano...
**[12:21] ---**
One moment. I must inform you
**[12:24] ---**
that the Black Dragon Knights' third
corps leader, Simeon, is headed this way.
**[12:28] ---**
Simeon...?!
**[12:30] ---**
Oh?
**[12:31] ---**
So, that...
**[12:33] ---**
Uh, who is that again?
**[12:35] ---**
He's the leader of the Black Dragon
Knights who were sent to this island.
**[12:39] ---**
He's third in rank among
the Black Dragon Knights.
**[12:41] ---**
Ah, and what was my rank again?
**[12:44] ---**
Why, the lowest of them all, of course.
**[12:47] ---**
You're ranked thirtieth.
**[12:50] ---**
No matter what happens, our leader
Simeon can make things right.
**[12:54] ---**
That's some faith you have in him.
**[12:56] ---**
Yes. So please leave the rest to us.
**[13:05] ---**
Are you still going to go to Ogani Volcano?
**[13:08] ---**
I'm sorry, but I don't want to see
any more people become like Gakusho.
**[13:15] ---**
Well then, at least let my unit accompany you.
**[13:19] ---**
Ulrika...
**[13:20] ---**
I believe I was sent to
protect this island's order.
**[13:25] ---**
I can't turn my head away from
the suffering of its citizens.
**[13:28] ---**
Lord Ibuki.
**[13:36] ---**
I know of your power, Lord Ibuki.
**[13:39] ---**
Hien...
**[13:40] ---**
Please kill me near Simeon!
**[13:44] ---**
Are you telling me to incinerate
Simeon with the dragon's power?
**[13:47] ---**
That flame will become a beacon to spread
the revolution throughout the land!
**[13:51] ---**
All in the name of ousting D'natia and Kouran!
**[13:56] ---**
I won't kill you or Simeon.
**[14:00] ---**
Also, Hien... You and everyone else
are getting this all wrong.
**[14:06] ---**
No matter what I do to you,
nothing will happen.
**[14:10] ---**
Lord Ibuki, you can offer the
citizens of Nil Kamui to Red Dragon
**[14:15] ---**
to gain the dragon's power.
**[14:17] ---**
That's not it, Hien.
**[14:19] ---**
Lord Ibuki, you are too kind.
**[14:23] ---**
A part of me died when I lost my family--
my young sister--during the Seven Year War.
**[14:31] ---**
No one will be saddened by my death.
**[14:34] ---**
Having my life taken by the Child of Contract
is the one and only happiness left to me.
**[14:39] ---**
Please, use my life as you see fit!
**[14:42] ---**
That's not the issue...!
**[14:44] ---**
Ibuki? Hien?
**[14:46] ---**
It looks like they're ready.
**[14:47] ---**
Okay...
**[14:51] ---**
Stop with your discourtesy, Kouran!
**[14:54] ---**
Oh?
**[14:55] ---**
In every respect, Lord Ibuki
is the successor to the throne.
**[14:58] ---**
I ask that you treat him as such!
**[15:00] ---**
How rude of me.
**[15:03] ---**
"Lord" Ibuki... was it?
**[15:07] ---**
Ogani Volcano | Mountain path
**[15:15] ---**
Lord Ibuki.
**[15:17] ---**
Did Hien tell you to call me that?
**[15:20] ---**
Please stop.
**[15:21] ---**
Really? How about we take the middle
ground and call you "Sir Ibuki"?
**[15:28] ---**
Meryl told me you said that if you killed
Gakusho, you could incinerate the culprit.
**[15:34] ---**
Not me, but Red Dragon.
**[15:36] ---**
So then in exchange for someone's life,
you can gain the dragon's power to--
**[15:40] ---**
Why don't we drop the
subject already, Sir Sweallow?
**[15:44] ---**
You knew, didn't you, Lou?
**[15:46] ---**
Why, of course not.
**[15:48] ---**
Such a frightening thought...
**[15:49] ---**
I see...
**[15:51] ---**
I think I know why you called it a curse.
**[15:53] ---**
You mind if I ask you something?
**[15:56] ---**
Do you really want to get rid of that power?
**[15:59] ---**
But you're going to become
Nil Kamui's king, right?
**[16:03] ---**
If so, that power may be
something you need as king.
**[16:07] ---**
A friend of mine died trusting in me...
**[16:11] ---**
That's why I want to become king,
so that I can put an end to sorrow.
**[16:15] ---**
But...
**[16:17] ---**
I don't know what I need to do...
**[16:19] ---**
I see.
**[16:21] ---**
In any case, I'm for the idea of
getting rid of that power of yours.
**[16:25] ---**
Why, yes... After all, that power
is a major threat to D'natia.
**[16:30] ---**
Is that how you see it?
**[16:37] ---**
There was a village here, but...
**[16:40] ---**
The place is just a pool of lava now.
**[16:47] ---**
Look...!
**[16:48] ---**
No matter how you take this...
**[16:52] ---**
...it sure doesn't look like they're
survivors waiting to be rescued.
**[16:56] ---**
Men, forward!
**[16:58] ---**
Hey now, what are you planning to do, Hien?
**[17:02] ---**
We will handle the Returned Ones.
**[17:04] ---**
Leave us be!
**[17:05] ---**
What are you saying?!
**[17:07] ---**
It seems like most of them
were from the revolutionary army.
**[17:11] ---**
We will deliver our friends by our own hands.
**[17:14] ---**
Hien!
**[17:15] ---**
Please move on ahead, Child of Contract!
**[17:18] ---**
And please pray for their
calm and eternal slumber.
**[17:25] ---**
Rest in peace, friends!
**[17:37] ---**
Well then, let's graciously accept his offer.
**[17:41] ---**
After all, we are supposed to be
an expedition for Red Dragon.
**[17:54] ---**
It is Izun...
**[17:57] ---**
Izun?
**[17:59] ---**
Izun is in there?
**[18:04] ---**
Now then, everyone, what should we do?
**[18:07] ---**
We do have the option of leaving this place
**[18:09] ---**
and letting Leader Simeon
take care of the rest.
**[18:12] ---**
Sir Sweallow...
**[18:14] ---**
Oh, come on, we're not going to stand
a chance against that huge thing!
**[18:19] ---**
I agree with you this time.
**[18:22] ---**
We can't take any risks that
could jeopardize Ibuki or Eykha.
**[18:26] ---**
Right?
**[18:27] ---**
I'm staying behind.
**[18:29] ---**
Eykha...
**[18:30] ---**
Izun would probably want me to kill him.
**[18:34] ---**
Besides, look over there.
**[18:37] ---**
That's...?
**[18:38] ---**
I believe it's Red Dragon's claw.
**[18:41] ---**
Izun fought Red Dragon by himself to save us.
**[18:46] ---**
So that must have lodged itself there then.
**[18:48] ---**
I see... So my friend left behind...
**[18:52] ---**
Oh, it looks like that claw is still alive.
**[18:56] ---**
By that, you mean...?
**[18:57] ---**
There is way more life energy
**[18:59] ---**
contained in Red Dragon's claw and
that giant than in any normal person.
**[19:04] ---**
This is a first for me as well.
**[19:07] ---**
So then...?
**[19:08] ---**
Feed me...!
**[19:10] ---**
As you wish.
**[19:12] ---**
Let's attack it from both sides.
**[19:15] ---**
I can cross the lava to the other side.
**[19:18] ---**
I will attack from behind.
**[19:20] ---**
We'll go from the front.
**[19:22] ---**
Before we strike...
**[19:24] ---**
...please let me confirm whether
or not Izun has really lost his sanity.
**[19:29] ---**
Ibuki...
**[19:30] ---**
It's possible that he still has his sanity
despite becoming a Returned One.
**[19:37] ---**
Got it.
**[19:39] ---**
Lou...
**[19:40] ---**
Sweallow...
**[19:42] ---**
Please help!
**[19:44] ---**
Well, I'll just try to stop it, then.
**[19:51] ---**
Is stopping it your only plan?
**[19:53] ---**
If I can move to a dead angle,
I can hide you from their sight, my lord.
**[19:57] ---**
Ah, I see...
**[19:58] ---**
I suppose you're serious about feeding me.
**[20:10] ---**
Meryl, hand it over...
**[20:13] ---**
I believe you may have forgotten,
so I'll say it once more.
**[20:17] ---**
This will disrupt the order of this island--
**[20:27] ---**
Ahem...
**[20:28] ---**
Well then, let us both head in from the front.
**[20:32] ---**
No, Lady Ulrika.
**[20:34] ---**
I'd like to ask you to take care of Meryl.
**[20:36] ---**
Please watch us from behind.
**[20:39] ---**
It's not that I'm underestimating
a newcomer such as yourself, but...
**[20:42] ---**
I know you're strong.
**[20:44] ---**
That's why I'd like you to stay behind.
**[20:47] ---**
And when we reach our limit, I'd like you
to at least have those children escape.
**[20:55] ---**
In the end, Sir Sweallow isn't attached to me.
**[20:59] ---**
To him, what needs to
be protected is the future.
**[21:03] ---**
Are you saying you're willing to offer
your life for the expedition's mission?
**[21:09] ---**
You know, it was the first time
someone asked me for help.
**[21:16] ---**
Keep one thing in mind.
**[21:17] ---**
Do not place trust in that nun, Lou.
**[21:22] ---**
Don't worry. I'm used to
being tricked by females.
**[21:28] ---**
Quite a fine master you have there.
**[21:31] ---**
He's... just a good-for-nothing.

**[00:32] ---**
I thought I told you not to come in here!
**[00:35] ---**
Do you want that to happen to you?!
**[00:39] ---**
He's my child.
**[00:42] ---**
I will raise him by my own hand.
**[01:02] ---**
It's only natural that my parents feared
the unfortunate curse I had from birth
**[01:09] ---**
of breaking the tools I used.
**[01:24] ---**
All the books I enjoyed
crumbled as I read them.
**[01:28] ---**
And I hardly ever touched anyone.
**[01:31] ---**
I wonder what would have happened
if I'd handled someone like a tool.
**[01:40] ---**
Once counted among the richest in D'natia,
my family was headed to ruin before I knew it.
**[01:53] ---**
Shark.
**[02:04] ---**
I won't touch you, I promise.
**[02:16] ---**
When I lost my close friend,
that's when I finally understood...
**[02:21] ---**
Tools can be broken, and lives lost,
even if I don't come in contact with them.
**[02:27] ---**
That was what I took as truth in this world.
**[02:37] ---**
I heard rumors of the Clazzvali Family's fall.
**[02:51] ---**
His suffering should end on this island.
**[02:55] ---**
Are you referring to his
contract with Black Dragon?
**[02:58] ---**
So long as his bad habit doesn't surface...
**[03:00] ---**
Bad habit?
**[03:03] ---**
The name of this island is Nil Kamui.
**[03:06] ---**
The land where the great
and ancient country Kouran
**[03:08] ---**
and our homeland, D'natia,
are in conflict for supremacy.
**[03:13] ---**
Empire Era 285, September...
**[03:17] ---**
The great ancient country, Kouran...
**[03:20] ---**
...our country, D'natia...
**[03:23] ---**
...and the revolutionary army
representing Nil Kamui
**[03:26] ---**
came together to form
the Red Dragon expedition,
**[03:29] ---**
whose ranks I joined.
**[03:33] ---**
All so that I can part ways with my absurd fate.
**[05:08] ---**
Ogani Volcano
**[05:13] ---**
It's me! You remember me, don't you?!
**[05:43] ---**
Hien...
**[05:45] ---**
The Child of Contract...
**[05:48] ---**
Get a hold of yourself!
**[05:49] ---**
You're a mighty warrior of the Hyakki Force!
**[06:00] ---**
He's a Returned One now...
**[06:04] ---**
I will sacrifice anything in the
name of the one to become king.
**[06:13] ---**
Wait for me...
**[06:24] ---**
Let's hit it four times, shall we?
**[06:29] ---**
P? Shn!
**[06:39] ---**
What nectar, Lou!
**[06:41] ---**
Never before have I savored
such a soul as that.
**[06:47] ---**
That is quite pleasing to hear.
**[06:51] ---**
Izun...
**[06:54] ---**
Izun, can you hear me?!
**[06:56] ---**
I'm one of the Imperials, Ibuki!
**[07:02] ---**
Ibuki!
**[07:16] ---**
Are you really Izun...?
**[07:31] ---**
There...!
**[07:33] ---**
How's that?
**[07:36] ---**
What are you trying to do here?
**[07:38] ---**
Ibuki...
**[07:40] ---**
Uh, Sir Ibuki, was it?
**[07:42] ---**
I'm trying to buy him time so that
he can try to talk sense into him.
**[07:45] ---**
Once a person becomes a Returned One,
they will never regain their sanity.
**[07:50] ---**
So it is with Izun.
**[07:53] ---**
Um, what are you planning to do?
**[07:57] ---**
I will offer my life to
bring down the Stone Giant.
**[08:02] ---**
I don't think he'll comply with your wish...
**[08:15] ---**
I don't need to borrow
my lord's power for this!
**[08:20] ---**
Fng ZhÎn!
**[08:32] ---**
So that's the power of a Black Dragon Knight...
**[08:52] ---**
Ibuki!
**[09:02] ---**
Those kids still have room to grow.
**[09:06] ---**
They need to be protected by someone
until their time to break arrives.
**[09:31] ---**
Dragon | The dragons are the
primordial beings of this world.
**[09:38] ---**
What is this...?
**[09:40] ---**
My lord?
**[10:05] ---**
Lady Meryl...?
**[10:08] ---**
It was back when he was ten years old...
**[10:12] ---**
He insisted on a Mixed One as a slave.
**[10:19] ---**
Supposedly, Bounded Ones
and Mixed Ones didn't age...
**[10:23] ---**
...so they wouldn't break.
**[10:25] ---**
Or at least that's what he thought.
**[10:30] ---**
That Mixed One wasn't brought in as a slave,
but was instead adopted by a steward.
**[10:42] ---**
Years later, she was involved in a kidnapping,
which left her on the verge of death...
**[10:53] ---**
I see.
**[10:57] ---**
So, that peculiar phenomenon
of yours drew me here.
**[11:03] ---**
Do you wish to save her?
**[11:06] ---**
Yes!
**[11:09] ---**
If so, then I will shift her wounds onto you.
**[11:21] ---**
All things go to ruin without exception.
**[11:24] ---**
He knows that very well, and yet...
**[11:30] ---**
Such a bad habit...
**[11:34] ---**
Val!
**[11:54] ---**
Izun!
**[12:19] ---**
I'll absorb all that it has!
**[12:38] ---**
It's still full of life!
**[12:41] ---**
I'm truly sorry!
**[12:42] ---**
I will protect you, my lord!
**[12:49] ---**
Lou!
**[12:56] ---**
Izun...
**[12:58] ---**
I'll kill you...
**[13:01] ---**
I'll follow you shortly after.
**[13:06] ---**
If she keeps that up, Eykha will kill Izun...
**[13:10] ---**
Killing a friend...
**[13:13] ---**
No one else...
**[13:16] ---**
...needs to go through that!
**[13:19] ---**
Ibuki!
**[13:22] ---**
Hien!
**[13:25] ---**
He turned into a Returned One?!
**[13:33] ---**
Hien...
**[13:35] ---**
You too...?
**[13:47] ---**
Please kill me...
**[13:50] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[13:52] ---**
I'll offer you as a sacrifice to Red Dragon!
**[14:03] ---**
Hurry...
**[14:04] ---**
Red Dragon's power...
**[14:07] ---**
Hien...!
**[14:08] ---**
His sanity...
**[14:09] ---**
No, he wasn't a Returned One
in the first place?!
**[14:13] ---**
No...!
**[14:14] ---**
Then, those eyes were...?!
**[14:21] ---**
If I wasn't a Returned One...
**[14:24] ---**
...you would not have used my life, Lord Ibuki...
**[14:31] ---**
You are a kind person, after all...
**[14:36] ---**
What of Red Dragon...?
**[14:40] ---**
Hurry, the Stone Giant must be...
**[14:46] ---**
Red Dragon, the offering has been made.
**[14:49] ---**
Lend me your flames!
**[14:54] ---**
Finally, you will use... my life to...
**[15:02] ---**
Red Dragon! Your power!
**[15:04] ---**
Lend me your power!
**[15:06] ---**
Hien!
**[15:07] ---**
I offered Hien's life...!
I offered it to you just now!
**[15:11] ---**
Answer me!
**[15:13] ---**
Please answer me!
**[15:19] ---**
Ibuki, we need to get out of here!
**[15:23] ---**
Why...?
**[15:25] ---**
The Dragon Eye isn't shining...
**[15:28] ---**
That means...
**[15:29] ---**
...Hien's life isn't considered
to be an equivalent exchange.
**[15:34] ---**
I suppose that's the line of reasoning.
**[15:37] ---**
But...
**[15:39] ---**
I was told to offer those precious to me...
**[15:46] ---**
S-Sweallow...?
**[15:49] ---**
Don't worry... I've got something I need to do.
**[15:54] ---**
I knew Hien wasn't a Returned One...
**[16:00] ---**
None of the other
Returned Ones were moving at all.
**[16:04] ---**
But there was no way I could tell them
about the Black Dragon's Scale...
**[16:09] ---**
Because of that, Hien...
**[16:13] ---**
All of this is my sin to bear...
**[16:17] ---**
Months ago
D'natia | Clazzvali Family manor
**[16:25] ---**
Please don't touch.
**[16:27] ---**
At least let me get some tea.
**[16:29] ---**
No.
**[16:30] ---**
This mansion and all its belongings are
under seizure by the Sherbet Company.
**[16:37] ---**
I really appreciate it, my dear creditor.
**[16:40] ---**
You're about the only one to support
the bankrupt Clazzvali Family.
**[16:46] ---**
By the way, it's about time, Sir Sweallow.
**[16:50] ---**
Do I really have to go?
**[16:56] ---**
Oh, all right, I'll go...
**[17:00] ---**
Hours later...
D'natia | Shrine of the Black Dragon
**[17:31] ---**
I see.
**[17:34] ---**
I suppose it can be called
a curse of destruction.
**[17:39] ---**
It's exactly how you saw it, Black Dragon.
**[17:42] ---**
Do you wish to remove that curse?
**[17:45] ---**
If possible.
**[17:47] ---**
As you can tell, it's just absurd living with this.
**[17:52] ---**
You are aware that one of the Seven Dragons,
Red Dragon, resides in Nil Kamui, yes?
**[17:59] ---**
That one, Red Dragon, has gone mad.
**[18:03] ---**
I want you to join the combined
expedition among the three countries...
**[18:07] ---**
...and exterminate Red Dragon
with your very own hands.
**[18:13] ---**
Is that the condition placed
on the removal of my curse?
**[18:16] ---**
The scar placed upon you shall
again seal your contract with me.
**[18:33] ---**
This scar saved Meryl...
**[18:38] ---**
I have nothing else to say.
**[18:40] ---**
I appoint you, Sweallow Clazzvali,
to the Black Dragon Knights.
**[19:00] ---**
Contract seal, release!
**[19:02] ---**
I bring the tyranny of Black Dragon!
**[19:13] ---**
This power is supposed to be saved
for finishing off Red Dragon...
**[19:19] ---**
But this is my sin too...
**[19:22] ---**
Black Blade...
**[19:27] ---**
My contract and your curse are connected.
**[19:32] ---**
When differing powers of humans
and dragons come together as one...
**[19:41] ---**
Izun...!
**[19:56] ---**
I know of the Black Blade which
the Black Dragon Knights use,
**[20:00] ---**
but that is not quite the same...
**[20:03] ---**
I can't believe how graciously
he uses his swords to ruin...
**[20:08] ---**
I wonder how he would use me.
**[20:11] ---**
My lord...
**[20:12] ---**
My greatest joy is to offer all of the living
blood flowing within me to you, my lord...
**[20:27] ---**
Ibuki, are you okay?
**[20:31] ---**
I... couldn't kill Izun.
**[20:35] ---**
Ibuki?
**[20:39] ---**
I...
**[20:41] ---**
Hien...
**[20:47] ---**
It seems as if this is the clue that
my friend Red Dragon has left behind.
**[20:52] ---**
I suppose it's only fair that the
rights to it belong to Sweallow.
**[20:59] ---**
I recall an ancient legend saying
that only dragons can kill dragons.
**[21:05] ---**
Hello...
**[21:08] ---**
Excuse me, but it seems something
odd is happening in Haiga.
**[21:12] ---**
Haiga, you say?
**[21:15] ---**
Ah, um... Hello, Shaddy?
**[21:18] ---**
Ah, Lord Ka Grava!
D'natia's bishop is in the city, and...!
**[21:23] ---**
Why don't you send an image to me?
**[21:26] ---**
Ah, yes!
**[21:28] ---**
Behold, citizens of Nil Kamui!
**[21:31] ---**
The one you see here is the
true Imperial of Nil Kamui!
**[21:35] ---**
The one to become queen!
**[21:37] ---**
Lady Inori!
**[21:41] ---**
Inori?!
**[21:42] ---**
Do you know her?
**[21:46] ---**
She's...
**[21:48] ---**
...my younger sister.
**[21:51] ---**
Act 7
**[21:52] ---**
Act 7
Ups and Downs in Life
**[23:32] ---**
Act 8
**[23:32] ---**
Act 8: "Perfect Serenity."
**[23:36] ---**
Inori's return releases Ibuki from his fate.
**[23:41] ---**
Who is it that doesn't want that to happen?
**[23:44] ---**

**[00:07] ---**
Two years ago...
Nil Kamui | Shuka outskirts
**[00:12] ---**
I'm sorry, but this is all I have right now.
**[00:15] ---**
Thank you...
**[00:18] ---**
But I can't repay you.
**[00:23] ---**
Eykha, you're strong, right?
**[00:26] ---**
If so, please join me in protecting my friend.
**[00:30] ---**
Me...? Protect...?
**[00:37] ---**
I don't think I can protect Ibuki by myself.
**[00:46] ---**
Fine, it's a promise.
**[00:49] ---**
Thank you, Eykha...
**[00:51] ---**
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
**[00:54] ---**
It's a small island country.
**[00:56] ---**
Three years have passed since this country
fell to the great country Kouran.
**[01:01] ---**
Our ally, D'natia, kept its distance,
and our guardian deity, Red Dragon, went mad.
**[01:07] ---**
I lost everything in this war,
called the Seven Year War...
**[01:12] ---**
Our castle that ruled over the country,
my parents, and my sister Inori...
**[01:18] ---**
Imperial Era 3015, October...
**[01:21] ---**
We still can't regain control of Nil Kamui.
**[02:59] ---**
Didn't all your family members die, Ibuki?
**[03:02] ---**
I was the only survivor when the castle fell.
**[03:07] ---**
Or that's what I thought...
**[03:10] ---**
In any case, you'll need to meet her firsthand.
**[03:14] ---**
Lou!
**[03:17] ---**
I am a member of the expedition.
**[03:19] ---**
I won't die because of this...
**[03:22] ---**
We need to get you treated, now!
**[03:26] ---**
D'natia territory | Fort Rosweisse
**[03:39] ---**
Ogani Volcano erupted?!
**[03:41] ---**
But there were no signs of activity
during the investigation...
**[03:44] ---**
This isn't good... If this keeps up,
the fort is going to be in danger.
**[03:49] ---**
Open the gate!
**[03:59] ---**
Um, that's...?
**[04:01] ---**
You can't be serious?
**[04:03] ---**
That's the leader of the
third corps, Lord Simeon.
**[04:05] ---**
O-Of course I remember!
I'm confident in my memory...
**[04:18] ---**
Contract seal, release!
**[04:47] ---**
He averted the lava flow!
**[04:49] ---**
Lord Simeon is a powerful one indeed.
**[04:52] ---**
Unbelievable...
**[04:57] ---**
The power granted by Black Dragon should
be more than halved here on this island...
**[05:16] ---**
Haiga | Main gate area
**[05:20] ---**
Dear Brother!
**[05:23] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[05:25] ---**
I-Inori...?
**[05:29] ---**
I missed you!
**[05:31] ---**
Well, now, I don't do well in these situations.
**[05:34] ---**
I know that...
**[05:35] ---**
Meryl, are you crying?
**[05:38] ---**
No, I'm not!
**[05:39] ---**
It's really you, Inori...
**[05:42] ---**
Why, yes...!
**[05:44] ---**
That's right, dear Brother!
I wanted to present someone to you.
**[05:55] ---**
Ibuki...
**[05:59] ---**
Mashiro...?
**[06:01] ---**
I met her at Shuka.
**[06:03] ---**
I wanted to bring her to you as
soon as possible, dear Brother.
**[06:09] ---**
Wasn't she...?
**[06:15] ---**
Mashiro?
**[06:20] ---**
Mashiro?!
**[06:22] ---**
Mashiro...
**[06:26] ---**
Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
**[06:29] ---**
Mashiro died.
**[06:31] ---**
I also heard that Inori died.
**[06:34] ---**
But Lady Inori was alive.
**[06:38] ---**
By order of Agito, I was the one
who brought Lady Inori here.
**[06:41] ---**
So, Agito was sheltering her all along?
**[06:46] ---**
They're still inside!
**[06:48] ---**
Your father and family are already...!
**[06:50] ---**
Kouran's army is closing in!
**[06:52] ---**
Now hurry!
**[06:54] ---**
But...!
**[06:56] ---**
Agito!
**[06:58] ---**
I'll save Lady Inori...!
**[07:07] ---**
After some time had passed,
I went to Shuka's prison...
**[07:11] ---**
It can't be... Lady Inori?
**[07:14] ---**
Kouran would be spurred to action if
they found out both Imperials were alive.
**[07:20] ---**
I needed to hide her until the time was ripe.
**[07:24] ---**
Kouran is in a state of confusion
with the loss of General Kohkaku.
**[07:27] ---**
Now is the time to act.
**[07:29] ---**
I wasn't aware at all.
**[07:32] ---**
Let's fight together from now on.
**[07:35] ---**
We will make Inori our king,
and free this island.
**[07:38] ---**
If that happens, then what of Ibuki...?
**[07:40] ---**
It was heart-wrenching deceiving you all.
**[07:44] ---**
But this is all for the sake
of regaining our country.
**[07:50] ---**
I didn't know that...
**[07:52] ---**
Agito put that much thought into this?
**[07:55] ---**
Lady Inori would like to
meet you again at the embassy.
**[07:59] ---**
Okay, I'll meet with her.
**[08:01] ---**
Wait.
**[08:02] ---**
What about Mashiro?
**[08:03] ---**
Ibuki, didn't you kill her?
**[08:07] ---**
Right...
**[08:08] ---**
I killed her...
**[08:10] ---**
But...
**[08:12] ---**
I was only told of Lady Inori's survival.
**[08:17] ---**
You should speak with Mashiro.
**[08:20] ---**
By the way, where's Hien?
**[08:23] ---**
He died for me...
**[08:27] ---**
I see. I'm sure he went honorably...
**[08:32] ---**
Haiga | D'natia embassy
**[08:33] ---**
Amazing...
**[08:35] ---**
Ka Grava really built an embassy for us.
**[08:38] ---**
It doesn't matter, since it will be in shambles
after you use it for a month, Sir Sweallow.
**[08:43] ---**
Did you call for me, Your Excellency?
**[08:50] ---**
So, Bishop Enumael...
That girl, Inori... Who is she, really?
**[08:55] ---**
She is the true Child of Contract,
and the true ruler of Nil Kamui.
**[09:00] ---**
Our country will protect Lady Inori and help
her regain the dynasty she so truly deserves.
**[09:06] ---**
In other words, it's going to be
ruled by a puppet government?
**[09:09] ---**
I would prefer that you acknowledge it as a
sister country led by D'natia's grand teachings.
**[09:14] ---**
I see...
**[09:17] ---**
Speaking of which, could Inori
by any chance be a Returned One?
**[09:23] ---**
How absurd.
**[09:28] ---**
We just fought the walking dead a while ago.
**[09:32] ---**
Now we're told that a supposedly
dead Imperial has appeared.
**[09:36] ---**
Wouldn't you be suspicious, too?
**[09:38] ---**
Surely you jest! We're not that foolish.
**[09:43] ---**
When Lady Inori came under our
protection from the revolutionary army,
**[09:46] ---**
we used magic to thoroughly
evaluate her background,
**[09:48] ---**
along with the possibility
of her being a Returned One.
**[09:52] ---**
Well, I do believe she is fit to lead
the dragon-revering savages.
**[09:59] ---**
After all, miracles are adored by the ignorant.
**[10:02] ---**
What you're saying can apply
to us Black Dragon Knights, too...
**[10:08] ---**
Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
**[10:09] ---**
I examined the Yellow Dragon's wedge.
**[10:13] ---**
Did it pique your interest?
**[10:16] ---**
The magic we use is affected by
the magic that dwells within each land,
**[10:19] ---**
also known as the country's
"State Magic Territory."
**[10:23] ---**
You could approach it as a
"home" or "away" concept,
**[10:26] ---**
but it seems as if this wedge can
tilt the balance towards Kouran.
**[10:31] ---**
It looks like there's value in
working a deal out with you.
**[10:36] ---**
Why, of course.
**[10:37] ---**
Now then, please do
arrange for my artificial arm...
**[10:40] ---**
Understood.
**[10:41] ---**
Humans are about nothing but
using and abusing one another.
**[10:47] ---**
Beyond that, all that's left is whether
or not they can feel good about it.
**[10:51] ---**
Don't you think that's why a
trusting relationship holds meaning?
**[10:56] ---**
Is this really okay, Lord Ka Grava?
**[10:58] ---**
Regardless of D'natia or Kouran,
if the wedge is used,
**[11:02] ---**
the balance of Nil Kamui's
State Magic Territory will crumble,
**[11:04] ---**
and the land will suffer,
even with respect to its magic.
**[11:08] ---**
That's why we need to nip them
in the bud wherever we can.
**[11:12] ---**
Lord Ka Grava...
**[11:14] ---**
I made a promise to my deceased wife
that I would protect your future.
**[11:19] ---**
Don't you worry.
**[11:23] ---**
Haiga | D'natia embassy
**[11:32] ---**
Good work guarding Ibuki.
**[11:35] ---**
Leave the rest to us now.
**[11:43] ---**
Welcome, dear Brother.
**[11:53] ---**
Even if you go now, I doubt your
thoughts will get through to Ibuki.
**[12:01] ---**
State Magic Territory | The range around a country
in which its magic reached its full potential.
**[12:09] ---**
Mashiro offered her life to Ibuki.
**[12:13] ---**
Mashiro should be dead, as an equivalence.
**[12:20] ---**
Well, I haven't seen Ibuki's power before...
**[12:24] ---**
That's why...
**[12:25] ---**
That's why there's value
in confirming your suspicion.
**[12:29] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[12:33] ---**
You're the one who built the embassy, right?
**[12:35] ---**
Isn't there a way to see inside?
**[12:37] ---**
Oh, come now! Even I wouldn't--
**[12:40] ---**
I'll set it right up!
**[12:46] ---**
I knew it...
**[12:51] ---**
Dear Brother, you must
have gone through a lot.
**[12:54] ---**
You too, Inori.
**[12:57] ---**
We were born as twins, and according to
ancient tradition, I was determined to be king.
**[13:06] ---**
That's right.
**[13:08] ---**
That's why there's nothing
for you to worry about.
**[13:17] ---**
But the revolutionary army
fought to have Ibuki rule as king.
**[13:24] ---**
I can leave you with Mashiro, if you'd like.
**[13:27] ---**
Huh? That's not...
**[13:30] ---**
Ibuki...
**[13:38] ---**
I still can't believe it.
**[13:41] ---**
You're really alive, Mashiro...
**[13:44] ---**
We're protected by Red Dragon.
**[13:48] ---**
Let's all live together forever--
dear Brother, Mashiro, and myself.
**[13:52] ---**
I'll be the king, and dear Brother will help me.
**[13:56] ---**
I'm sure we'll make a wonderful country.
**[14:02] ---**
D'natia territory | Fort Rosweisse
**[14:04] ---**
Our Emperor has ordered us to head to
Haiga to guard Bishop Enumael and Inori.
**[14:12] ---**
Were you aware of that girl
called Inori, Sir Simeon?
**[14:16] ---**
Not at all.
**[14:19] ---**
Bishop Enumael will be
questioned in regards to her.
**[14:23] ---**
But if we depart, our mission
of being stationed here...
**[14:26] ---**
In regards to that, we have proper
support to fill our positions.
**[14:30] ---**
Enter.
**[14:35] ---**
That emblem...
**[14:37] ---**
We are the Emperor's
personal order of cavaliers.
**[14:40] ---**
We will take position here in Nil Kamui.
**[14:42] ---**
Much appreciated.
**[14:44] ---**
I will be heading towards Haiga.
**[14:46] ---**
I assign Tricolor and Black Tongue to
handle the colonial towns towards the rear.
**[14:51] ---**
Ruby and Blenheim will head towards Shuka.
**[14:55] ---**
Sir!
**[14:56] ---**
Let's go, Ulrika.
**[14:58] ---**
Sir!
**[15:02] ---**
Weren't you going to be
the king of this island, Ibuki?
**[15:05] ---**
It's all okay now, Eykha.
**[15:07] ---**
After all, Mashiro was alive.
**[15:11] ---**
...please be a good king...
**[15:15] ---**
Mashiro was alive.
**[15:18] ---**
I didn't kill her...
**[15:21] ---**
Mashiro offered her life for you.
**[15:26] ---**
Just because Mashiro was alive doesn't
mean your promise to her is gone.
**[15:32] ---**
You're going to become
the king of this island, Ibuki.
**[15:35] ---**
I'm the sword to bring that about.
**[15:43] ---**
We received multiple reports from Shuka of
Inori appearing and taking Mashiro with her.
**[15:48] ---**
But the details are unknown.
**[15:51] ---**
Thank you for your effort.
**[15:55] ---**
Mashiro died.
**[15:57] ---**
We even made a grave for her.
**[15:59] ---**
It's difficult to confirm death,
even for an experienced doctor.
**[16:03] ---**
There are cases of the dead
reviving after their burial.
**[16:06] ---**
But her heart was pierced...
**[16:09] ---**
Or maybe she's just a stand-in.
**[16:12] ---**
It could also be possible
that's her long-lost twin.
**[16:16] ---**
And as you can see,
there's nothing unusual about her.
**[16:20] ---**
She's been sitting there the whole time.
**[16:22] ---**
The whole time...
**[16:25] ---**
She's just sitting there
without eating or sleeping...
**[16:29] ---**
Isn't Mashiro...
**[16:31] ---**
...a Returned One?
**[16:37] ---**
If so, Ibuki is in danger.
**[16:39] ---**
What are the odds of there being
a Returned One possessing sanity?
**[16:42] ---**
But Izun was...!
**[16:48] ---**
That alone isn't proof of anything.
**[16:52] ---**
I understand...
**[16:53] ---**
I have to get proof then, right?
**[17:02] ---**
I came as Lord Ibuki's messenger.
**[17:04] ---**
I have a message for Lady Inori's
waiting maid, Mashiro.
**[17:08] ---**
No problem. You want to see her
somewhere out of view, right?
**[17:21] ---**
Do you remember the first time we met?
**[17:27] ---**
I promised you that I would
protect Ibuki, right?
**[17:32] ---**
Mashiro, you and Ibuki didn't throw
rocks at Bounded Ones like myself.
**[17:37] ---**
You both treated me as a normal human.
**[17:40] ---**
I'm sure Ibuki will spread
such feelings across the island.
**[17:47] ---**
I'm bonded to Val, so I don't
have many years left to live.
**[17:51] ---**
But I've decided I'll use whatever
remaining time I have to protect Ibuki.
**[17:55] ---**
It's the same for you too, right, Mashiro?
**[17:57] ---**
You offered your life to Red Dragon
with the wish of having Ibuki become king.
**[18:02] ---**
That's why Ibuki kept his
promise to you, Mashiro,
**[18:05] ---**
and saved the children at the orphanage,
at the cost of Kai's life.
**[18:11] ---**
It was then I thought that
Ibuki should become king.
**[18:17] ---**
Mashiro...?
**[18:20] ---**
Ibuki...
**[18:22] ---**
Huh?
**[18:30] ---**
You don't remember a thing, do you?
**[18:35] ---**
I'll protect Ibuki...
**[18:37] ---**
I'll protect our king.
**[18:40] ---**
So...
**[18:41] ---**
So don't smile using my friend's face!
**[18:49] ---**
What in the world is this about?!
**[18:53] ---**
I can't believe you made me
bring this waiting maid here!
**[18:57] ---**
I'm terribly sorry about that.
**[18:59] ---**
And where would Lady Inori be?
**[19:01] ---**
She is still at rest.
**[19:03] ---**
I see. Well then, let's get started, shall we?
**[19:06] ---**
If you will, Eykha.
**[19:07] ---**
Eykha...? What's this about?
**[19:11] ---**
Mashiro is... a Returned One.
**[19:14] ---**
What's this all of a sudden? Is this supposed
to be Nil Kamui's excuse for a joke?
**[19:18] ---**
Mashiro died once at Shuka.
**[19:21] ---**
But she came back to life.
**[19:23] ---**
That's what I thought... She was killed
by Ibuki, and now she's here in front of us.
**[19:27] ---**
Good, my memory isn't fleeting.
**[19:30] ---**
Eykha...? But Mashiro is here with us...
**[19:33] ---**
True, there are a number
of suspect things, but...
**[19:35] ---**
It's simply that she was
saved by Lady Inori's magic.
**[19:39] ---**
I don't see the fuss.
**[19:40] ---**
True. In my early years,
**[19:44] ---**
I would often think I had killed someone
when in fact they were just unconscious.
**[19:48] ---**
Turns out that you have to
behead them to make sure.
**[19:50] ---**
Ah, that's not what we're talking about, Lou...
**[19:52] ---**
If you're going to accuse
her of being a Returned One,
**[19:54] ---**
you should at least show some form of proof.
**[19:57] ---**
Eykha?
**[20:01] ---**
I killed Mashiro last night.
**[20:06] ---**
And your point is?
**[20:08] ---**
Mashiro was killed by me last night...
**[20:12] ---**
And now, she's come back
to life and is in front of us.
**[20:15] ---**
That means...
**[20:16] ---**
Calm down for a moment, Eykha.
**[20:18] ---**
Remove Mashiro's clothes!
**[20:20] ---**
Ah, I see...
**[20:22] ---**
She should have two scars--
one from when Ibuki killed her,
**[20:25] ---**
and another from when
Eykha killed her last night.
**[20:30] ---**
That isn't proof of anything!
**[20:34] ---**
Moreover, taking her clothes off
would be outrageous!
**[20:37] ---**
Well, why don't we decide
after we take a look at this?
**[20:56] ---**
I-Impossible...
**[20:58] ---**
It's an image that was recorded
by Haiga's security system.
**[21:02] ---**
As you can imagine, there is no human
who could survive what you just saw.
**[21:07] ---**
So, there's only one reason why
she would be here in front of us.
**[21:10] ---**
It can't be...
**[21:12] ---**
Mashiro is...
**[21:15] ---**
I don't think I need to explain
the dangers of a Returned One.
**[21:18] ---**
As the one who oversees Haiga,
I can't let this go unnoticed.
**[21:22] ---**
N-No, but...
**[21:24] ---**
What's with the commotion, everyone?
**[21:27] ---**
Mashiro is indeed a Returned One,
but are there any problems with that?
**[21:32] ---**
Huh?
**[21:33] ---**
Lady Inori?!
**[21:34] ---**
Mashiro is a precious person
to my dear Brother.
**[21:38] ---**
That's why...
**[21:41] ---**
...I raised her from the dead...
**[21:47] ---**
I-Inori...
**[21:50] ---**

**[21:52] ---**

Perfect Serenity

**[00:07] ---**
Three years ago...
**[00:08] ---**
Agito!
**[00:09] ---**
I'll save Lady Inori...!
**[00:15] ---**
Agito! Please save Inori!
**[00:20] ---**
Dear Brother...
**[00:23] ---**
Dear Brother, Ibuki...
**[00:25] ---**
Look at these treasures!
**[00:28] ---**
Did they really leave all these behind?!
**[00:30] ---**
The Child of Contract designated
as the future king was killed.
**[00:33] ---**
Nil Kamui has already lost the spirit to fight.
**[00:37] ---**
This war's been going on for seven
years now, but it's finally at its end.
**[00:40] ---**
Father...
**[00:42] ---**
Why did this happen...?
**[00:48] ---**
We don't have much time. Get out!
**[00:51] ---**
You're the one who said we could
take anything in the treasure vault!
**[00:54] ---**
This castle is about to...
**[00:57] ---**
Hurry it up! Who cares about that old box?!
**[01:00] ---**
Yeah, I know!
**[01:04] ---**
I'll take this if you don't want it.
**[01:07] ---**
This is Nil Kamui's greatest
of treasures--the Dragon Eye.
**[01:12] ---**
There's supposed to be two of these,
**[01:15] ---**
and one was offered to your
"spiritual mother" at the start of this war.
**[01:20] ---**
Princess...?
**[01:23] ---**
You...!
**[01:24] ---**
Why... Why did you do that to Father...?!
**[01:36] ---**
Pain...? It hurts...
**[01:38] ---**
Dear Brother, help...
**[01:41] ---**
Please, save Inori...
**[01:48] ---**
Pledge yourself to me, Imperial.
**[01:52] ---**
Bond with me and seek my powers.
**[02:03] ---**
I heard Red Dragon's voice.
**[02:05] ---**
"Pledge yourself to me..."
**[02:07] ---**
I felt like I was waiting all
this time to hear those words.
**[02:11] ---**
That's why I took the pledge.
**[02:18] ---**
Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
**[02:22] ---**
What is it you'd like to speak with me
about in private, dear Brother?
**[02:25] ---**
Is it true, Inori?
**[02:28] ---**
About Mashiro being a Returned One?
**[02:30] ---**
I thought I already said so.
I figured everyone knew already.
**[02:34] ---**
Not that!
**[02:36] ---**
I'm talking about you being
the one that brought her back.
**[02:39] ---**
That's the power Red Dragon gave me.
**[02:43] ---**
Red Dragon gave you...?
**[02:46] ---**
You were given the power to take lives
as an aide to the king, dear Brother.
**[02:51] ---**
I was given the power to
bring about life, as the true king.
**[03:00] ---**
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
**[03:03] ---**
It's a small island country.
**[03:05] ---**
Three years have passed since this country
fell to the great country Kouran.
**[03:10] ---**
Our ally, D'natia, kept its distance, and our
guardian deity, Red Dragon, simply looked on.
**[03:17] ---**
I lost everything in this war,
called the Seven Year War...
**[03:23] ---**
Our castle, my pure body, and even
my dear Brother, whom I so loved.
**[03:30] ---**
Imperial Era 3015, October...
**[03:32] ---**
Nil Kamui will soon return to our hands...
**[05:08] ---**
Oh, how unclean!
**[05:11] ---**
I can't believe I'm in the same
room with a Returned One.
**[05:14] ---**
Oh? But, weren't you the one who
brought Lady Inori here, Bishop?
**[05:19] ---**
I don't have the time to be
concerned over her attendant.
**[05:21] ---**
Mind your own business!
**[05:24] ---**
Agito was the one who sent word saying
he found Lady Inori in the first place!
**[05:28] ---**
The revolutionary army's Agito?
**[05:31] ---**
That's odd.
**[05:33] ---**
The revolutionary army's goal
**[05:35] ---**
is to chase D'natia and Kouran out
and regain independence of the island.
**[05:40] ---**
Agito was put in prison as
the revolutionary army's leader.
**[05:45] ---**
As such, he asked for D'natia
to support Lady Inori.
**[05:48] ---**
With D'natia supporting the king,
Kouran could be chased out.
**[05:53] ---**
Agito would support the king and
maintain the revolutionary army.
**[05:56] ---**
Both sides win.
**[05:58] ---**
But I didn't know Mashiro
was a Returned One until now.
**[06:02] ---**
I heard that the dragons can revive,
even after death.
**[06:06] ---**
If so, the creation of a Returned One
may demonstrate the power of a dragon.
**[06:12] ---**
So then Inori was really chosen by Red Dragon?
**[06:17] ---**
Oh, nooo!
**[06:19] ---**
Hiding cameras in his own room?
**[06:23] ---**
What is he thinking?!
**[06:27] ---**
Right?
**[06:35] ---**
It doesn't matter whether they hear us or not.
**[06:37] ---**
They're all precious companions to me.
**[06:41] ---**
Does that apply to Inori, too?
**[06:44] ---**
After the castle fell, I was all alone.
**[06:47] ---**
I ran, by myself, and even
did many things I can't say...
**[06:52] ---**
I-I'm sorry...
**[06:53] ---**
I'm sorry, Inori... Even after I said
I would always protect you...
**[06:58] ---**
The only person I trust is you, dear Brother.
**[07:01] ---**
It's the same for you with Inori, right?
**[07:05] ---**
Don't trust the combined expedition.
**[07:07] ---**
Inori...?
**[07:08] ---**
Their objective is to destroy Red Dragon.
**[07:12] ---**
That way they can gain
full control of this island.
**[07:15] ---**
Are you going to let
that happen, dear Brother?!
**[07:21] ---**
Ibuki!
**[07:23] ---**
Ibuki...
**[07:24] ---**
Are the two of you done talking?
**[07:26] ---**
Yes. Mashiro really is a Returned One.
**[07:31] ---**
So, Inori creating her is...
**[07:34] ---**
How absurd!
**[07:36] ---**
I don't recall allowing you to do such a thing!
**[07:38] ---**
Now come!
**[07:40] ---**
I have some words for you...!
**[07:45] ---**
I wonder where all that "Lady Inori"
treatment from yesterday went...
**[07:50] ---**
At day's end, we are simply tools being used
to set up D'natia's puppet government.
**[07:54] ---**
If you'll excuse me...
**[07:56] ---**
So, what are we going to do now?
**[08:00] ---**
I will get rid of Mashiro.
**[08:02] ---**
No!
**[08:03] ---**
Ibuki?
**[08:05] ---**
Please, give me some time...
**[08:08] ---**
My mind isn't settled yet...
**[08:14] ---**
D'natia embassy
**[08:20] ---**
What...? The contract seal
feels like it's burning...
**[08:26] ---**
Sir Sweallow...! Sir Sweallow...!
**[08:28] ---**
Sir Sweallow!
**[08:30] ---**
This is...
**[08:32] ---**
Sweallow Clazzvali...
**[08:35] ---**
Cursed child...
**[08:37] ---**
Your work has shaken Nil Kamui
and the land has been colored in black.
**[08:44] ---**
That's because of the
Black Dragon Scale's power.
**[08:46] ---**
Indeed. Soon Nil Kamui
will be painted over in black,
**[08:51] ---**
and I will rule that land
as if I resided there myself.
**[08:55] ---**
Of course, in order to do that, I will need
to bring the power of the red one under me.
**[09:01] ---**
I will be eagerly waiting
for you to bring that about.
**[09:05] ---**
One question.
**[09:07] ---**
Once the State Magic Territory
is overtaken by D'natia,
**[09:10] ---**
what will happen to Nil Kamui's citizens?
**[09:13] ---**
They will not be decimated.
**[09:16] ---**
But they will lose all of their magic.
**[09:19] ---**
Twisted beings born from the binding of beasts
and humans will come about no more.
**[09:25] ---**
I'm assuming that's supposed to be good.
**[09:28] ---**
I shall grant you a reward.
**[09:30] ---**
I will grant you temporal
protection against any blade.
**[09:35] ---**
I shall refer to it as the "Black Curtain."
**[09:45] ---**
Sir Sweallow!
**[09:50] ---**
So... You sensed that, too?
**[09:54] ---**
Was it Black Dragon?
**[09:55] ---**
But we're in Nil Kamui...
**[09:58] ---**
Looks like he really likes me or something...
**[10:03] ---**
I think he knows about how
I'm trying to protect Ibuki, too...
**[10:06] ---**
It can't be...
**[10:07] ---**
Meryl, if you're anxious,
then at least you can return...
**[10:13] ---**
You good-for-nothing...
**[10:19] ---**
Dear Brother, please agree with me.
**[10:23] ---**
I wasn't planning on
becoming D'natia's puppet.
**[10:27] ---**
If I rise, then the revolutionary
army will rise in revolt as well.
**[10:32] ---**
Please, come with me!
**[10:35] ---**
What am I supposed to say
to the expedition members?
**[10:38] ---**
Don't you see? They're our enemies.
**[10:41] ---**
First they will need to be killed,
or else you will be killed, dear Brother.
**[10:46] ---**
Lies... She has to be lying...
**[10:48] ---**
Oh? Called for my presence, have you?
**[10:52] ---**
A child of that one, are you, Imperial?
**[11:00] ---**
Black Dragon Knight
The order of D'natia's greatest of soldiers.
**[11:05] ---**
Red Dragon...?
**[11:09] ---**
I didn't call for you!
**[11:10] ---**
I am one of the seven dragons associated
with Red Dragon, whom you humans revere.
**[11:16] ---**
My body is in D'natia, and what
you are hearing are my thoughts.
**[11:20] ---**
Black Dragon...?
**[11:23] ---**
Your wish is to have this island
returned to how it once was.
**[11:28] ---**
Only D'natia can fulfill that.
**[11:32] ---**
What?!
**[11:33] ---**
Kouran seeks to dominate this island.
**[11:37] ---**
The revolutionary army fights against that.
**[11:40] ---**
No matter the outcome, the blood
of many will continue to pour.
**[11:44] ---**
That is not your wish.
**[11:47] ---**
We will not harm the citizens of Nil Kamui.
**[11:51] ---**
Side with D'natia...?
**[11:52] ---**
That will also save you.
**[11:56] ---**
You are troubled with the
cursed power you have gained.
**[12:01] ---**
Red Dragon's power...
**[12:04] ---**
You are aware of what a
"State Magic Territory" is, yes?
**[12:08] ---**
This island's state is currently
shifting greatly towards D'natia.
**[12:13] ---**
As a result, Red Dragon will lose its power
and you will finally be freed from your curse.
**[12:19] ---**
Wait, did Sweallow...?!
**[12:23] ---**
It is your choice, Imperial!
**[12:34] ---**
D'natia... Kouran...
**[12:37] ---**
They all say what they want.
**[12:40] ---**
But they don't say anything
about what to do with Mashiro...
**[12:52] ---**
Where's Mashiro?
**[12:53] ---**
That bald geezer came
back here all of a sudden.
**[12:58] ---**
Something about D'natia interrogating her,
and restraining her in the embassy.
**[13:04] ---**
Why didn't any of you help her?!
**[13:06] ---**
We were told she was "Inori's attendant."
That didn't leave us with much of a choice.
**[13:11] ---**
Even if she's a Returned One,
she's still Mashiro.
**[13:16] ---**
You're so kind.
**[13:18] ---**
I understand well what it's like
to be so fixated on something.
**[13:22] ---**
But once something is gone,
it will never return to its original form.
**[13:27] ---**
It's about time you learned that some
things can never be brought back,
**[13:31] ---**
and that's what makes them so beautiful.
**[13:44] ---**
Ibuki!
**[13:47] ---**
Perfect timing!
**[13:50] ---**
Sweallow is with D'natia, too...
**[13:54] ---**
Huh? Hey, Ibuki!
**[13:59] ---**
Hey now, what's going on?
**[14:01] ---**
I-I'm sorry, but can you please help me?!
**[14:08] ---**
D'natia, eh?
**[14:09] ---**
So, interested in chasing
young boys' butts or something?
**[14:11] ---**
Ah, well, sure, it may look like that, but...
**[14:14] ---**
Please deny it more forcefully!
**[14:16] ---**
Sorry, but my nature calls me to
side with a kid looking for help,
**[14:21] ---**
rather than some adult I've never met.
**[14:23] ---**
Really?
**[14:24] ---**
It's okay, he's a good guy!
**[14:27] ---**
That's not what this is about...
**[14:29] ---**
Sir Sweallow?
**[14:31] ---**
Ulrika?
**[14:33] ---**
Ulrika Ledesma? Of the Black Dragon Knights?
**[14:36] ---**
You know very well of the peace treaty.
**[14:39] ---**
So, what are you...
**[14:40] ---**
Ah, wait... He's a good guy, and...
**[14:43] ---**
We don't know that for sure.
**[14:46] ---**
Sir Byakuei!
**[14:47] ---**
Where are you?!
**[14:49] ---**
Hey, over here!
**[14:50] ---**
I got lost in the crowd!
**[14:54] ---**
Byakuei...?
**[14:55] ---**
Could it be...?
**[14:56] ---**
Apologies for not introducing myself earlier.
**[14:58] ---**
As the new representative of Kouran,
**[15:00] ---**
I'm on my way to Fort Roseweisse to
speak with the Black Dragon Knights.
**[15:05] ---**
Huh? So then he's...
**[15:07] ---**
...the Leader of Ten-Thousand, Sir Byakuei.
**[15:09] ---**
And if so, he's one of the six
great generals of Kouran's force.
**[15:16] ---**
I want to meet Enumael!
**[15:17] ---**
By order of the Bishop,
we are not to allow anyone through!
**[15:18] ---**
D'natia embassy
**[15:21] ---**
Move!
**[15:22] ---**
Do not get in the way of
an Imperial of Nil Kamui!
**[15:27] ---**
Mashiro!
**[15:28] ---**
Where are you, Mashiro?!
**[15:35] ---**
Ka Grava's so hilarious!
**[15:37] ---**
Seriously, he hid way too many wiretaps.
**[15:41] ---**
Mashiro should have been brought here.
**[15:43] ---**
Ah... Don't worry.
**[15:46] ---**
What do you mean "don't worry"?!
**[15:47] ---**
Bishop Enumael wants to
make you the king, right?
**[15:50] ---**
There's no way he would allow a
Returned One to stay at your side!
**[15:54] ---**
Even if Enumael kills her,
I'll just revive her again.
**[16:00] ---**
So feel free to use that
power of yours, dear Brother.
**[16:04] ---**
Ah, that's right!
**[16:06] ---**
How about we burn that girl, Lou?
**[16:10] ---**
She wields a sword that prevents
Returned Ones from reviving again.
**[16:16] ---**
Besides, I wanted to see your power that
you got from Red Dragon, dear Brother.
**[16:22] ---**
I won't use that power ever again.
**[16:25] ---**
Besides, if Lou dies, Ka Grava
and Sweallow won't let that go.
**[16:30] ---**
Then we should just kill them, too.
**[16:33] ---**
The expedition is merely a means
to kill Red Dragon anyways.
**[16:37] ---**
Ah, but if there's someone you particularly like,
I can bring them back to life later.
**[16:42] ---**
Inori...
**[16:44] ---**
I've already done enough of that already...
**[16:48] ---**
I see...
**[16:50] ---**
You're clearing my anger and sorrow
in my place, aren't you, Red Dragon...?
**[16:58] ---**
More...
**[16:59] ---**
Even more...
**[17:01] ---**
Destroy more... Burn more...
**[17:03] ---**
Bring more upon those who took everything
from me and those who live on idly!
**[17:07] ---**
All who have directed their wrath
towards us will be incinerated!
**[17:12] ---**
And then, if we bring only those
we like back as Returned Ones,
**[17:15] ---**
a world that is kind to us will be born.
**[17:18] ---**
That will be our new Nil Kamui.
**[17:22] ---**
She thinks Red Dragon
went on a rampage for her...
**[17:26] ---**
Is Red Dragon's madness controlling Inori, too?
**[17:30] ---**
At this rate, Inori will really kill everyone...
**[17:36] ---**
I understand, Inori.
**[17:38] ---**
But let's first go and meet Agito.
**[17:41] ---**
Huh?
**[17:42] ---**
We'll officially place you upon the throne.
**[17:45] ---**
Since D'natia won't support us any more,
we need to get Agito out of Shuka's prison.
**[17:49] ---**
I'm so happy, dear Brother!
So, you will come with me?
**[17:54] ---**
Of course!
**[17:57] ---**
I've been protected by everyone
in the expedition until now.
**[18:02] ---**
Lou even lost one of her arms...
**[18:05] ---**
I won't let anyone harm them, ever...!
**[18:18] ---**
Don't come in, Ibuki!
**[18:22] ---**
What's going on here?
**[18:24] ---**
Mashiro...?
**[18:39] ---**
Dinner is ready.
**[18:41] ---**
Sir Ibuki?
**[18:42] ---**
Ibuki hasn't returned yet?
**[18:45] ---**
It would seem that way.
**[18:48] ---**
Haiga outskirts
**[18:50] ---**
Fugaku,
**[18:51] ---**
what happened?
**[18:53] ---**
It was... a horrible sight.
**[18:56] ---**
Enumael kept haranguing in front of Mashiro.
**[19:00] ---**
He cried heresy, called us savages,
and pressed to have Mashiro exterminated.
**[19:06] ---**
The commotion apparently
stirred Mashiro, and...
**[19:43] ---**
S-Stop...!
**[19:47] ---**
Holy spirit, appear!
**[19:58] ---**
Lady Inori watched in silence
until the bishop stopped moving.
**[20:04] ---**
Dear Brother, let's go to Shuka!
**[20:07] ---**
Before that... Mashiro...
**[20:09] ---**
If you want to speak with her,
we'll have time later...
**[20:12] ---**
Ibuki, what are you doing?!
**[20:14] ---**
Dear Brother...?!
**[20:22] ---**
Dear Brother...
**[20:24] ---**
She won't die from that.
**[20:27] ---**
And...
**[20:29] ---**
Red Dragon...
**[20:31] ---**
Red Dragon, you mentioned that a
Returned One can be taken as an offering.
**[20:39] ---**
I will offer my dear Mashiro again.
**[20:43] ---**
Even if she is a Returned One,
her life is still precious.
**[20:46] ---**
Isn't that so?!
**[20:47] ---**
Indeed.
**[20:49] ---**
I will accept her as an equivalent exchange.
**[20:52] ---**
You're not thinking of...!
**[20:53] ---**
In the name of the Child of Contract,
and of Red Dragon...
**[20:59] ---**
...incinerate every bit of Mashiro's soul
so that she will never rise again!
**[21:26] ---**
Mashiro...
**[21:28] ---**
Do you remember what you told me...?
**[21:32] ---**
...please be a good king...
**[21:36] ---**
I...
**[21:38] ---**
...haven't forgotten...

**[00:14] ---**
The beasts are disappearing from the forest...
**[00:17] ---**
Yes...
**[00:18] ---**
The beasts have all gone
away within the past few days.
**[00:22] ---**
It's possible that the Magic Territory
on this island is changing.
**[00:26] ---**
A country is rooted to the magic
residing within the land.
**[00:29] ---**
Soon the water's flow, the land's bounty,
and even the air itself will be affected...
**[00:37] ---**
Agito is planning to place
Lady Inori upon the throne.
**[00:41] ---**
You were simply used to
cover up his intentions!
**[00:46] ---**
I'll try and talk with Agito.
**[00:48] ---**
Let's hurry to Shuka.
**[00:50] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[00:52] ---**
I thought we had gotten
separated, dear Brother!
**[00:55] ---**
Please don't let go of me again.
**[01:04] ---**
Meanwhile... | D'natia embassy
**[01:07] ---**
Bishop.
**[01:08] ---**
Bishop Enumael.
**[01:10] ---**
Inori is nowhere to be found.
**[01:13] ---**
Sir Sweallow...
**[01:15] ---**
I'm sorry I haven't greeted
you yet, Ambassador.
**[01:18] ---**
I received orders from our
country to bring Sir Enumael
**[01:22] ---**
and the Imperial to Shuka immediately.
**[01:25] ---**
Where's Ibuki?!
**[01:26] ---**
What's this monster doing here?
**[01:27] ---**
She's a member of the combined expedition.
**[01:30] ---**
Ibuki is the name of the other Imperial.
**[01:33] ---**
Ibuki isn't around, either?
**[01:37] ---**
Close this structure immediately!
**[01:39] ---**
Yes.
**[01:42] ---**
What's the matter?
**[01:45] ---**
The name of this country is Nil Kamui.
**[01:47] ---**
It has been three years
**[01:49] ---**
since this very small island country was
invaded by the great country Kouran.
**[01:52] ---**
Despite being Nil Kamui's ally,
**[01:54] ---**
D'natia avoided direct conflict with Kouran
and maintained a stance of neutrality.
**[01:59] ---**
After the Seven Year War ended,
**[02:02] ---**
peaceful rule of the land between the two
countries was established, with D'natia
**[02:06] ---**
keeping a watchful eye on
Kouran's occupation of Nil Kamui.
**[02:09] ---**
But one day, this island must
be returned to its rightful owner.
**[02:14] ---**
Holy Era 285, October...
**[02:18] ---**
Conflict is about to begin again for Nil Kamui...
**[03:55] ---**
Weren't those found near Bishop Enumael...?
**[03:59] ---**
A Holy Spirit...
**[04:00] ---**
It's a seal given by the Church
to protect its bearer from attack.
**[04:06] ---**
Sir Sweallow has you for a partner,
so he probably doesn't need one.
**[04:11] ---**
The Holy Spirit is valuable,
so I'm sure he just sold it.
**[04:14] ---**
I, on the other hand, am free to use.
**[04:16] ---**
Being close to someone may
prevent you from seeing the obvious.
**[04:21] ---**
He really thinks of you...
**[04:24] ---**
...as someone precious...
**[04:29] ---**
So, Mashiro--
**[04:30] ---**
No... A Returned One killed Bishop Enumael?
**[04:34] ---**
In that case, it makes sense
**[04:35] ---**
Haiga | Ka Grava's mansion
**[04:36] ---**
that Inori and the others have disappeared.
**[04:39] ---**
Does this clear the doubt placed upon us?
**[04:44] ---**
Like I was saying, this is Agito's scheme to
make Kouran and D'natia confront each other.
**[04:50] ---**
Leader of Ten-Thousand, Byakuei, was it?
**[04:54] ---**
The moment you arrived in Haiga,
our bishop was killed.
**[04:59] ---**
It seems too timely...
**[05:01] ---**
Nah, I don't think he's a bad...
**[05:04] ---**
...person...
**[05:06] ---**
Sir Simeon.
**[05:07] ---**
Our spiritual mother
would like to have a meeting
**[05:11] ---**
with D'natia's representative in
regards to the rulership of Nil Kamui.
**[05:15] ---**
You mean the legend who ruled
Kouran for over 3,000 years...?
**[05:19] ---**
Legend?
**[05:21] ---**
Not at all. In fact, she's here right now
in the capital of this island, Shuka.
**[05:24] ---**
I don't think it's right for the fate of Nil Kamui
to be determined by those two countries.
**[05:28] ---**
Your presence is, of course,
requested as well, Sir Ka Grava.
**[05:34] ---**
The leader of the revolutionary army, Agito...
**[05:37] ---**
...is controlling the two Imperials
for his own purposes...
**[05:41] ---**
D'natia was tricked by him once before.
**[05:45] ---**
This is not the time for Kouran and
D'natia to be competing for power.
**[05:49] ---**
As soon as I get approval from our country,
we will have the meeting in Shuka.
**[05:54] ---**
W-Wait a minute!
**[05:56] ---**
A meeting in Shuka?
**[05:58] ---**
So what about the combined expedition?
**[06:00] ---**
Kouran... D'natia... The revolutionary army...
**[06:02] ---**
We believed having these three forces join the
Red Dragon expedition would lead to peace.
**[06:08] ---**
But with the revolutionary army plotting
in secret, there's no meaning to it anymore.
**[06:16] ---**
Between Haiga and Shuka | Woodlands
**[06:23] ---**
As things stand now, there's no way Kouran
or D'natia would approve Inori as king.
**[06:27] ---**
Then...
**[06:30] ---**
Both of you, please stay behind!
**[06:33] ---**
Go...!
**[06:52] ---**
Val! What's the matter, Val?!
**[06:55] ---**
Unable to exert your power,
and feeling sick as well, aren't you?
**[06:58] ---**
So the attendants were Returned Ones too?!
**[07:01] ---**
It's because our State Magic
Territory was tainted.
**[07:05] ---**
The beast you're bonded to is weakened, too.
**[07:09] ---**
Dear Brother, this is how they're invading us.
**[07:13] ---**
The real purpose of the combined expedition
is to take Red Dragon's power away.
**[07:18] ---**
But it is a fact that Red Dragon went mad.
**[07:21] ---**
It incinerated the people and the villages!
**[07:24] ---**
Well, they deserved it.
**[07:26] ---**
Red Dragon is angry.
**[07:28] ---**
Angry at the powerless citizens who
gave Nil Kamui over to the invaders.
**[07:40] ---**
Kill me!
**[07:45] ---**
How sad...
**[07:47] ---**
You're no king!
**[07:48] ---**
Only Ibuki can use Red Dragon's flames!
**[07:52] ---**
That's right... It's important to you
that dear Brother become king.
**[07:59] ---**
Only because Ibuki is fit to become king.
**[08:01] ---**
You were created as a worthless
Bounded One, and your days are numbered.
**[08:08] ---**
But you're offering your life to
dear Brother as something precious.
**[08:13] ---**
Only then can you say in satisfaction that you
lived and died as the king's sword and friend.
**[08:21] ---**
Huh? What? Are you trying to make me laugh?
**[08:25] ---**
No matter how much you adore dear Brother...
**[08:28] ---**
No!
**[08:29] ---**
Dear Brother only sees you
as a mere attendant.
**[08:33] ---**
That's why your life isn't
worth offering to Red Dragon.
**[08:38] ---**
N-No...
**[08:40] ---**
You'll just have a pitiful death!
**[08:43] ---**
You'll die... for nothing!
**[08:49] ---**
Dear Brother, you should kill her.
After all, it's her--
**[08:51] ---**
Stop it already!
**[08:53] ---**
Eykha, go back to Ka Grava.
**[08:56] ---**
Ibuki, you didn't kill me the last time, either.
**[09:00] ---**
Is it because... you think my life has no value?
**[09:06] ---**
Eykha...
**[09:15] ---**
I don't consider you to be my blade.
**[09:25] ---**
I want to protect you...
**[09:28] ---**
But... I don't have the right to do that.
**[09:33] ---**
Ibuki...!
**[09:37] ---**
Haiga | Ka Grava's mansion
**[09:40] ---**
Quite impressive...
**[09:42] ---**
It's the best Wu Xing Ti that Kouran has.
**[09:45] ---**
The item you gave me is that valuable.
**[09:48] ---**
And this...?
**[09:50] ---**
It's the dragon's claw.
**[09:54] ---**
I'm sure it's the best weapon
available to defeat Red Dragon...
**[09:59] ---**
It's unusual to see you showing
interest in someone else's property.
**[10:04] ---**
You may be right.
**[10:09] ---**
Thank goodness. It looks like
the operation was a success.
**[10:12] ---**
And...?
**[10:13] ---**
Ah, well...
**[10:16] ---**
The combined expedition
was just to buy time...
**[10:18] ---**
...and behind it was the political
posturing of all the countries involved.
**[10:24] ---**
But that kind of behind-the-scenes
stuff doesn't concern us, right?
**[10:28] ---**
Yes... We just have to continue our mission.
**[10:32] ---**
Well, let's go, then.
**[10:33] ---**
Yes...
**[10:35] ---**
To save Ibuki.
**[10:35] ---**
To find Red Dragon.
**[10:36] ---**
Huh?
**[10:36] ---**
What?
**[10:39] ---**
I didn't understand what you said just now...
**[10:42] ---**
Depending on the results from the peace
meeting in Shuka, Ibuki may be in danger.
**[10:46] ---**
We should find and protect him before then.
**[10:47] ---**
But our goal is to find Red Dragon...
**[10:51] ---**
No... I'll be upfront with you.
**[10:54] ---**
Don't we need to kill it?
**[10:56] ---**
Yeah...
**[10:57] ---**
Well, it's clear that killing
Red Dragon would benefit me, too.
**[11:03] ---**
But if I was asked whether the benefit
was worth ruining a single child's fate,
**[11:09] ---**
my answer would be "no."
**[11:12] ---**
Honestly speaking, I haven't been attached
to any single thing my whole life.
**[11:16] ---**
That applies to Red Dragon's life, too.
**[11:19] ---**
Quite an interesting person, isn't he, Lou?
**[11:22] ---**
But if we stay with him, I'll be able to consume
the Imperials and Black Dragon Knights...
**[11:28] ---**
I think I said this before, Lou,
but I can't casually touch you...
**[11:33] ---**
Sir Sweallow, I will kill Red Dragon.
**[11:37] ---**
I don't get it.
**[11:39] ---**
Why are you so persistent in
going after Red Dragon? That's...
**[11:44] ---**
That is like asking me why my heart is beating.
**[11:49] ---**
In other words, you're the opposite of me--
you form very strong attachments.
**[11:55] ---**
Well, I have known you were
like this ever since we first met.
**[12:00] ---**
I think I was looking forward to having similar
emotions grow within me from being with you.
**[12:06] ---**
Your expectations will not be betrayed...
**[12:10] ---**
If you'd like, we can...
**[12:12] ---**
...do it here...
**[12:14] ---**
Lou Chun Wah.
**[12:16] ---**
Did I bother you?
**[12:18] ---**
No... Is there something you need
from me, Leader of Ten-Thousand?
**[12:21] ---**
Yes... I have a message from L´ng MÔ.
**[12:29] ---**
Are you all right, Sir Sweallow?!
**[12:31] ---**
Ah, um, it's not what you think, and...
**[12:34] ---**
I understand.
**[12:36] ---**
You're going to protect Ibuki even if it
gets in the way of lifting your curse, right?
**[12:42] ---**
Oh, shoot. Did Meryl say
something weird again?
**[12:47] ---**
You've suffered more than enough,
even in your childhood.
**[12:52] ---**
And yet...
**[12:54] ---**
That's why I don't want to
see any more children suffer.
**[13:05] ---**
Be safe.
**[13:09] ---**
Holy Spirit | A spirit-like existence which
is born from D'natia's 'Creation Magic.'
**[13:15] ---**
You were planning to kill that
Black Dragon Knight, were you?
**[13:18] ---**
Is there a problem?
**[13:20] ---**
I guess the rumors are true.
**[13:22] ---**
You became a cold-blooded assassin
after you stole that sword of yours
**[13:26] ---**
from a general that favored you.
**[13:30] ---**
Supposedly, it has something
to do with L´ng MÔ...
**[13:35] ---**
It's said to be so sharp that the previous owner
tested its blade against his subordinates.
**[13:42] ---**
There's no telling what would happen to me.
**[13:51] ---**
Will you be the one to entertain me...?
**[13:57] ---**
I want you...
**[14:04] ---**
I heard you were charmed by
the sword and became its slave...
**[14:10] ---**
I'm surprised that the Leader of
Ten-Thousand would believe such a rumor...
**[14:16] ---**
I have word from L´ng MÔ.
**[14:21] ---**
Even if you are the only one left,
take Red Dragon's life.
**[14:29] ---**
Ah, the dragon's claw...
**[14:30] ---**
We didn't tell anyone we were heading
to Shuka, so we can't go back to get it now.
**[14:35] ---**
It could be a problem if it gets in Lou's hands.
**[14:38] ---**
Nah, I don't think she cares
about other people's weapons.
**[14:42] ---**
To be safe, let me secure it.
**[14:46] ---**
Thanks, but...
**[14:48] ---**
Sir Sweallow.
**[14:49] ---**
I believe it's in everyone's
interest to live in happiness
**[14:54] ---**
without intolerance among
Kouran, D'natia, and Nil Kamui.
**[14:58] ---**
Such thinking would make me unfit
to be a member of the force...
**[15:01] ---**
Not at all.
**[15:02] ---**
I thought the combined expedition
would lead the way to such an ideal.
**[15:06] ---**
But that wasn't the case for Lou Chun Wah!
**[15:09] ---**
She is... evil.
**[15:12] ---**
Ulrika...
**[15:21] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[15:22] ---**
I want to move quickly, so I only need
the bare minimum to be on board.
**[15:25] ---**
Yes, we understand.
**[15:28] ---**
Would this be the item you've asked for?
**[15:31] ---**
Yes, it is...
**[15:33] ---**
Dragon's claw...
**[15:35] ---**
So, making it seem like they parted ways,
**[15:37] ---**
only to converge later with
that Black Dragon Knight...
**[15:51] ---**
I'm worrying too much...
**[16:03] ---**
Your fate is sealed, even if
you are a Black Dragon Knight!
**[16:08] ---**
Smiling, I see...
**[16:11] ---**
Lou! The shadow!
**[16:15] ---**
A familiar?!
**[16:19] ---**
That's...?!
**[16:26] ---**
I didn't expect she would harbor
such a monster in the shadows!
**[16:44] ---**
I sensed nothing from it...
**[16:47] ---**
Dark, Lou.
**[16:50] ---**
The Black Dragon's attribute is "Dark."
**[16:52] ---**
Its divine protection is
greatest during the night.
**[16:55] ---**
We should hurry.
**[16:57] ---**
The sun is about to set.
**[16:58] ---**
If that happens...
**[17:00] ---**
Everything will be covered in dark...
**[17:34] ---**
Contract seal, release!
**[17:38] ---**
Bring upon me the power of Black Dragon!
**[18:04] ---**
Well, well...
**[18:06] ---**
None can resist your charm, my Lord.
**[18:14] ---**
You can't hold back your
desire for this sword now.
**[18:19] ---**
Right?
**[18:27] ---**
Enjoy the soul of the Black
Dragon Knight Ulrika Ledesma!
**[18:32] ---**
She's mine!
**[18:41] ---**
My Lord!
**[18:42] ---**
She has a Holy Spirit on her.
**[18:46] ---**
Holy Spirit?
**[18:49] ---**
It can take a blow of death.
**[18:52] ---**
In other words, it's like a sacrifice.
**[18:55] ---**
She has more than one life...?
**[18:58] ---**
So the pain made you
regain your consciousness.
**[19:01] ---**
But my Lord's charm can't be lifted so easily.
**[19:06] ---**
Then I just have to increase the pain...
**[19:11] ---**
You'll go to such lengths to refuse my Lord?!
**[19:15] ---**
Now!
**[19:21] ---**
I won't be charmed by such trickery!
**[19:25] ---**
Because I already saw the most
beautiful thing in this world!!
**[19:31] ---**
His fate to lose all that comes
within his grasp allows him
**[19:35] ---**
to put his life at stake for the future of others...
**[19:39] ---**
If he will protect the children, then I will...
**[19:44] ---**
You love him that much?
**[19:46] ---**
It's not like he can even touch you...
**[20:15] ---**
The Magic Territory of this ocean
has greatly shifted towards Kouran.
**[20:21] ---**
Being from D'natia, you must
be very uncomfortable now.
**[20:30] ---**
So, still trying to protect your master?
**[20:36] ---**
How admirable...
**[20:56] ---**
There is nothing more beautiful than my Lord.
**[21:20] ---**
Sweallow...
**[21:31] ---**
We've been had.
**[21:33] ---**
The dragon's claw must have
been sent through other means...
**[21:38] ---**
She sacrificed herself...?
**[21:41] ---**
I see... You wanted to
become his Holy Spirit...

Nothing can escape the dragon's flame...

Shuka | City suburbs
**[00:13] ---**
That's right...
**[00:15] ---**
Yes...
**[00:16] ---**
I just verified...
**[00:19] ---**
Judging by the armor and body stature,
I believe you're right...
**[00:24] ---**
It looks like we were able to confirm the identity
of the body we believe to be Lady Ulrika.
**[00:30] ---**
Believe to be...?
**[00:33] ---**
We couldn't find the head...
**[00:39] ---**
There aren't many on this
island who could kill Ulrika.
**[00:44] ---**
It probably is Lou Chun Wah's doing...
**[00:49] ---**
So you're finally accepting
that this is Kouran's bidding!
**[00:53] ---**
She has nothing to do with the Kouran forces!
**[00:57] ---**
We're supposed to believe that?!
**[00:58] ---**
As one of the Six Greats of Kouran,
no lie will come from me!
**[01:03] ---**
The combined expedition has been disbanded.
**[01:09] ---**
In truth, both D'natia and Kouran sought
the extermination of Red Dragon...
**[01:16] ---**
...while the revolutionary army prepared
an alliance with D'natia in secrecy.
**[01:25] ---**
But Lady Ulrika believed
in the expedition's ideal...
**[01:33] ---**
...that Kouran and D'natia would join hands
**[01:37] ---**
to save Nil Kamui's
guardian deity, Red Dragon.
**[01:44] ---**
Thus, as the final member
of the combined expedition,
**[01:47] ---**
I, Ka Grava Rai Fuu Gramstahl, have an
obligation to carry on Lady Ulrika's will.
**[01:54] ---**
I will not let any conflict between
Kouran and D'natia occur in my presence!
**[03:34] ---**
Shuka | Outskirts road
**[03:40] ---**
Her ride is on the house.
Think of it as charity.
**[03:45] ---**
Setsuren? What a nice name.
**[03:48] ---**
Thank you.
**[03:49] ---**
So, you must be the Sherbet Company person.
**[03:52] ---**
And big brother here is the newest member
of the Black Dragon Knights, right?
**[03:56] ---**
You're well known.
**[03:57] ---**
Are you the daughter of
some wealthy merchant?
**[04:03] ---**
Okay, we can go with that.
**[04:05] ---**
Go with...?
**[04:07] ---**
Say, say, Sweallow?
There's something I want to ask you.
**[04:13] ---**
Ah, what is it?
**[04:15] ---**
Did you find what you were
looking for on this remote island?
**[04:22] ---**
It's true that I'm looking for something.
**[04:25] ---**
Do you know what that "something" is?
**[04:29] ---**
Not really...
**[04:30] ---**
But let's see... Maybe something
that will never break?
**[04:40] ---**
You're right...
**[04:41] ---**
Anything that I try to hold dear
to me breaks no matter what.
**[04:48] ---**
No...
**[04:49] ---**
I guess it's more like anything in this world...
**[04:52] ---**
You know, what if there was someone
**[04:54] ---**
who could live thousands of years
without a change in their appearance?
**[04:59] ---**
Would that be the "something"
that big brother is looking for?
**[05:04] ---**
I may be able to give
that "something" to you...
**[05:10] ---**
Who are you?
**[05:22] ---**
Hey, everyone! We're about to
arrive in the capital city of Shuka.
**[05:28] ---**
I see...
**[05:30] ---**
The beast isn't healing its
wounds as quickly as usual,
**[05:33] ---**
and in turn, it's draining
the life to which it's bounded.
**[05:37] ---**
It must be because of the
Magic Territory shift to D'natia.
**[05:41] ---**
Do you have any last words?
**[05:43] ---**
If I see Ibuki, I can relay your words for you.
**[05:46] ---**
I can't... die yet.
**[05:50] ---**
Ibuki needs to...
**[05:52] ---**
He doesn't desire that anymore.
**[05:54] ---**
He's planning to make
his younger sister the king.
**[05:57] ---**
It doesn't matter...
**[05:59] ---**
I've decided to make Ibuki king...
**[06:03] ---**
I see...
**[06:07] ---**
If you use this, the pain in your body
can be neutralized with Kouran's magic.
**[06:14] ---**
But using this wedge will only
extend your life for a few days.
**[06:20] ---**
Do you still want it?
**[06:26] ---**
Okay, here...
**[06:36] ---**
Capital of Nil Kamui | Shuka
**[06:44] ---**
Guest house
**[06:47] ---**
What is the reason for expediting
the execution of Agito?
**[06:52] ---**
It's the condition we gave for Kouran's
attendance at the peace meeting.
**[06:55] ---**
Ka Grava!
**[06:58] ---**
Leader Simeon!
**[06:59] ---**
You have some gall to show yourself here
after you left without any notice.
**[07:06] ---**
Speaking of which, is Lady Ulrika
attending the peace meeting?
**[07:10] ---**
I see. So you haven't heard yet...
**[07:13] ---**
Um, we overheard something
about executing Agito...
**[07:19] ---**
This is Sir Krama.
**[07:21] ---**
He is the representative of
the provisional government.
**[07:25] ---**
Sir Sweallow, was it?
**[07:27] ---**
Agito, who led the rebel army,
is being held in prison here in Shuka.
**[07:32] ---**
Recently, we found that he conspired to place
a false king named Inori upon the throne.
**[07:38] ---**
Because of this, we decided
to execute him without trial.
**[07:40] ---**
But the revolutionary army is supported
by the citizens of Nil Kamui.
**[07:44] ---**
Not "revolutionary army."
**[07:46] ---**
That's "rebel army," big sister Meryl.
**[07:50] ---**
Setsuren...?
**[07:52] ---**
Sir Byakuei?
**[07:53] ---**
If it was that kid Ibuki, then I'd let
him proclaim himself to be king...
**[07:58] ---**
...but not Inori.
**[07:59] ---**
You know why, right?
**[08:01] ---**
This is Kouran's representative, Lady Setsuren.
**[08:05] ---**
Representative?
**[08:07] ---**
Why, yes.
**[08:08] ---**
Back in my country, I'm also known
as the "spiritual mother," Líng Mǔ.
**[08:11] ---**
Um, but why would the ruler come here?
**[08:14] ---**
You would know...
**[08:16] ---**
Where is Lou Chun Wah?
**[08:20] ---**
Sir Simeon...?
**[08:21] ---**
Where is she?!
**[08:25] ---**
Shuka | Prison
**[08:31] ---**
Please speak with Agito directly.
**[08:39] ---**
What's the meaning of this, Fugaku?
**[08:43] ---**
Agito asked to speak
with Lord Ibuki in private.
**[08:54] ---**
I am Blenheim, a member of the Emperor
of D'natia's personal order of cavaliers.
**[09:02] ---**
I need to question you about the deaths
of Bishop Enumael and the temple soldiers.
**[09:10] ---**
If Agito is going to be executed,
Inori and Ibuki are sure to come to Shuka.
**[09:16] ---**
They'll then summon Red Dragon to save him.
**[09:19] ---**
Summon? I believe Red Dragon
went on a rampage of its own accord.
**[09:24] ---**
That's so unlike you, great merchant.
**[09:27] ---**
A young girl is always sighted
before Red Dragon goes on a rampage.
**[09:32] ---**
And that's Inori...?
**[09:34] ---**
Say, big brother Sweallow?
**[09:37] ---**
If Red Dragon appears,
can you please leave it alone?
**[09:43] ---**
How come?
**[09:44] ---**
If we leave it alone, this city is going
to be in a whole lot of trouble.
**[09:48] ---**
But if big brother Sweallow kills it,
**[09:51] ---**
the power of Red Dragon is going
to be absorbed by Black Dragon.
**[09:55] ---**
After all, Black Dragon and big
brother are bonded by contract.
**[09:59] ---**
That's a bit of a problem for me.
**[10:03] ---**
Your country once defeated a dragon and
built an advanced civilization with its power.
**[10:09] ---**
Why, yes! Humans should be the ones
to use the power of dragons.
**[10:14] ---**
So what does Sir Sweallow get in return?
**[10:18] ---**
Didn't I make it clear that I know
what big brother wants?
**[10:23] ---**
Yes, something everlasting,
that would never break...
**[10:34] ---**
I'm able to stay in this
youthful form until I die.
**[10:38] ---**
I can bring about the same
for your precious someone, too.
**[10:42] ---**
Give them an existence that would never break.
**[10:45] ---**
How about it?
**[10:51] ---**
Why don't you ask him, too?
**[10:53] ---**
Say that you want to stay in your form forever.
**[11:00] ---**
Then maybe he'll actually touch you...
**[11:05] ---**
Whoops...
**[11:06] ---**
That's my answer, Líng Mǔ.
**[11:10] ---**
I can now say I value the concept
**[11:13] ---**
that with everything that breaks,
something new is born.
**[11:18] ---**
If you like, I can try to break you.
**[11:23] ---**
Sweallow Clazzvali...
**[11:28] ---**
Líng Mǔ | An aggregate form of wisdom from
all the kings that have ever ruled Kouran.
**[11:34] ---**
You've grown well, Ibuki.
**[11:39] ---**
Thank you for coming down here.
**[11:43] ---**
Teacher...
**[11:46] ---**
Agito...
**[11:48] ---**
There's something you need to do
before you can become king.
**[11:52] ---**
I thought you wanted Inori to become king?
**[11:57] ---**
Kill Inori with your own hands.
**[12:01] ---**
That will establish your right to become king.
**[12:12] ---**
Fugaku, do you know what you're doing?!
**[12:14] ---**
This is all going according to Agito's plan.
**[12:17] ---**
Agito informed us that you
would come to this prison.
**[12:22] ---**
I assume it's his way of pleading for his life.
**[12:24] ---**
Agito...
**[12:25] ---**
That's right... Agito...
**[12:27] ---**
Agito went and...
**[12:29] ---**
Inori was cursed like me by Red Dragon.
**[12:33] ---**
She went mad because of it.
**[12:35] ---**
I want Inori back the way she was.
**[12:38] ---**
Killing her is...!
**[12:39] ---**
You've got it wrong.
**[12:41] ---**
Inori made Red Dragon go mad.
**[12:45] ---**
What...?
**[12:46] ---**
Half a year ago, Inori was
hiding in a certain village.
**[12:51] ---**
But they found out who she was,
and in fear of being chased by Kouran,
**[12:55] ---**
the villagers tried to kill her.
**[13:12] ---**
Then, from within Inori...
**[13:24] ---**
...Red Dragon appeared.
**[13:34] ---**
By the time we arrived, we found Red Dragon
burning down the village at Inori's command.
**[13:42] ---**
It was then I knew she had gone mad.
**[13:53] ---**
Red Dragon?!
**[13:55] ---**
Agito...!
**[13:57] ---**
How dare you kill Father and Mother?!
**[14:01] ---**
Finally remembered, did you?
**[14:03] ---**
The death of your parents, the king and queen,
three years ago wasn't because of Kouran...
**[14:10] ---**
I killed them!
**[14:13] ---**
The king was planning to bring
about a false state of peace
**[14:17] ---**
by offering Nil Kamui to D'natia and Kouran.
**[14:20] ---**
That is not the kind of country I desire!
**[14:22] ---**
That's why I killed the king!
**[14:25] ---**
Agito... It can't be...
**[14:28] ---**
But when I met Inori in that village,
she smiled at me...
**[14:32] ---**
That's how I found out that Inori
wasn't the same as before.
**[14:38] ---**
I won't forget this time...
**[14:40] ---**
Red Dragon... Kill Agito!
**[14:46] ---**
Ibuki! Kill Inori!
**[14:48] ---**
That is the only way to stop Red Dragon!
**[14:51] ---**
And then you will become known as
the king who defeated Red Dragon!
**[14:58] ---**
Agito!
**[15:06] ---**
Fugaku!
**[15:10] ---**
Ibuki... Hurry and use Red Dragon's power...!
**[15:14] ---**
If you still see me as your friend...
**[15:17] ---**
Of course you're my friend, Fugaku!
**[15:19] ---**
Offer my life, and stop Inori...!
**[15:26] ---**
Red Dragon! Grant me your power!
**[15:34] ---**
Red Dragon approved of me! That's why
your voice won't be heard, dear Brother!
**[15:39] ---**
Now, come with me.
**[15:41] ---**
Stop, Inori! Fugaku is going to...!
**[15:43] ---**
Hmm... What to do...
**[15:46] ---**
I can let him live as a Returned One,
since he is your precious friend...
**[15:52] ---**
Ibuki!
**[15:54] ---**
Or maybe not...
**[15:58] ---**
Fugaku...!
**[16:06] ---**
There you are.
**[16:08] ---**
Simeon and the others
are looking all over for you.
**[16:12] ---**
Did you do something?
**[16:13] ---**
Maybe, maybe not...
**[16:15] ---**
That aside, I heard that
our Líng Mǔ spoke with you.
**[16:19] ---**
Yeah...
**[16:20] ---**
She told me to leave Red Dragon alone.
**[16:23] ---**
I assume you're not going to listen...
**[16:26] ---**
To be honest, I don't care who defeats
Red Dragon as long as Ibuki's curse is lifted.
**[16:32] ---**
That being the case, wouldn't it
be better if we joined forces?
**[16:35] ---**
That would defeat the purpose...
**[16:37] ---**
That dragon's life is for my lord...
**[16:44] ---**
Our powers will cancel each other out
and we'll be on even ground.
**[16:48] ---**
Only this island will suffer.
**[16:50] ---**
We're not equals in the first place!
**[16:55] ---**
Now, Lou!
**[16:56] ---**
He still doesn't know of Ulrika's death.
**[17:12] ---**
Sweallow...!
**[17:14] ---**
So, Ulrika died...
**[17:18] ---**
Things will always break.
**[17:21] ---**
That fact is obvious to him.
**[17:24] ---**
That's why he sees things as precious,
and tries to stop them from breaking...
**[17:27] ---**
But there's no time for him to look back
on things which are already broken.
**[17:32] ---**
Contract seal, release...
**[17:36] ---**
It came...! It finally arrived!
**[17:40] ---**
What?! What's going on?!
**[17:50] ---**
Inori... What have you done?!
**[17:53] ---**
Today's going to be our day of independence!
**[17:57] ---**
And then, dear Brother and I
are going to bond as one!
**[18:00] ---**
What are you saying?!
**[18:02] ---**
A king can do anything they want, you know?
**[18:09] ---**
I see...
**[18:11] ---**
So, my old friend is being
controlled by Inori after all.
**[18:17] ---**
I will release my contract seal!
**[18:20] ---**
All those still alive, leave at once!
**[18:22] ---**
After all that talk about making me king...
**[18:25] ---**
You're such a liar, D'natia!
**[18:27] ---**
Contract seal, release!
**[18:30] ---**
Black Blade!
**[18:35] ---**
Is that it?
**[18:36] ---**
Wow, lame...
**[18:38] ---**
Simeon!
**[18:42] ---**
I'm the one who'll defeat Red Dragon...
**[18:45] ---**
Black Dragon!
**[18:47] ---**
I beseech you for your
divine protection twice over!
**[18:52] ---**
Two contract seals?!
**[19:01] ---**
Black Dragon!
**[19:16] ---**
Dear Brother...
**[19:18] ---**
Do I have to kill her...?
**[19:21] ---**
Red Dragon...
**[19:23] ---**
Red Dragon...!
**[19:25] ---**
It won't answer me...?!
**[19:27] ---**
Don't worry...
**[19:29] ---**
Red Dragon is right here.
**[19:34] ---**
Ibuki!
**[19:37] ---**
Eykha!
**[19:38] ---**
You don't have to dirty your hands!
**[19:40] ---**
I'm your sword!
**[19:44] ---**
Eykha!
**[19:45] ---**
You're not my sword!
**[19:47] ---**
You're the one I care for the most!
**[20:00] ---**
Red Dragon is inside me.
**[20:03] ---**
Neither I nor Red Dragon can be destroyed.
**[20:08] ---**
Ibuki...
**[20:09] ---**
Please listen to my song...
**[20:13] ---**
The Song of a Bonded One...
**[20:15] ---**
A magic that changes one's
life force into attack power...
**[20:20] ---**
So, she's prepared to die...
**[21:03] ---**
Red Dragon!
**[21:12] ---**
Red Dragon will continue to revive...
**[21:16] ---**
...so long as Inori is alive.
**[21:19] ---**
But no attacks can reach her because
of Red Dragon's divine protection...
**[21:24] ---**
This isn't good...
**[21:26] ---**
I will bring down Red Dragon for my lord...
**[21:32] ---**
Please use my life...
**[21:35] ---**
...Ibuki.
**[21:37] ---**
I can't hear Red Dragon's voice anymore...
**[21:42] ---**
But...!
**[21:44] ---**
Imperial Era 3015, November...
**[21:47] ---**
I... decided...

**[00:50] ---**
Eykha, that's enough!
**[01:02] ---**
Eykha!!
**[02:38] ---**
Sorry I'm late!
**[02:43] ---**
Red Dragon can be defeated with this, right?
**[02:47] ---**
The dragon's claw...
**[02:49] ---**
Can we really count on this?
**[02:52] ---**
What do you mean?
**[02:54] ---**
The dragon will continue to revive
so long as Inori is around.
**[02:58] ---**
So even if we defeat the dragon
with this, there's no meaning to it.
**[03:03] ---**
Maybe...
**[03:04] ---**
...it's the key to restoring Red Dragon's sanity?
**[03:07] ---**
If so, the person to wield this should be
someone related to Red Dragon, not me.
**[03:15] ---**
But Ulrika sacrificed her life to
entrust the dragon's claw to you...
**[03:21] ---**
She's no longer with us...
**[03:26] ---**
There's only one person to whom
the dragon's claw should be entrusted.
**[03:30] ---**
Now, Lou! The dragon!
**[03:32] ---**
Let me savor the supreme life ruling this world!
**[03:37] ---**
Why, of course, my Lord!
**[03:39] ---**
All our travels have led up
to this very moment!
**[03:54] ---**
Th-This is...?!
**[03:59] ---**
The State Magic Territory
has shifted to that of Kouran!
**[04:02] ---**
Even Red Dragon will lose its power!
**[04:05] ---**
One! Two!
**[04:13] ---**
This... This is it, Lou!
**[04:15] ---**
Indeed, my Lord...
**[04:19] ---**
I'll kill you...!
**[04:21] ---**
All you outsiders tainted Nil Kamui!
**[04:33] ---**
Kouran residential district
**[04:37] ---**
What business do you have here,
Black Dragon Knight?!
**[04:39] ---**
Um, well, I came to...
**[04:42] ---**
Hold your fire, and open the way!
**[04:45] ---**
What's the matter, Sweallow?
**[04:48] ---**
Can the rumored Qilin Chuán
be mobilized now, Byakuei?
**[04:53] ---**
Where did you hear of that?!
**[04:54] ---**
It can't be deployed so easily!
**[04:57] ---**
Ka Grava and I came up with a plan.
**[05:00] ---**
A plan?
**[05:04] ---**
Either you choose to listen,
or I make you listen by force...
**[05:09] ---**
Which do you prefer?
**[05:11] ---**
Let me hear it.
**[05:14] ---**
Seventy-one!
**[05:16] ---**
Seventy-two!
**[05:20] ---**
You're wonderful, Lou!
**[05:22] ---**
You're the greatest user there is!
**[05:26] ---**
My Lord...!
**[05:35] ---**
Eykha...
**[05:43] ---**
Lou?!
**[05:45] ---**
Are you all right?!
**[05:47] ---**
I'm going to kill Red Dragon.
**[05:50] ---**
I won't let anyone get in my way!
**[06:02] ---**
So, it seems Lou changed the Magic Territory...
**[06:05] ---**
That's why I wanted to borrow the Qilin Chuán.
**[06:08] ---**
With the Magic Territory shifted to Kouran,
we can now face Red Dragon.
**[06:15] ---**
We know this is an
absurd request, but please...!
**[06:20] ---**
Líng Mǔ has ordered that the Qilin Chuán
be used for Kouran's escape.
**[06:29] ---**
But I can't abandon the citizens,
even if they are from another country...
**[06:37] ---**
Then...!
**[06:38] ---**
I, the Leader of Ten-Thousand, Byakuei...
**[06:40] ---**
...will disobey my country's
orders for the first time.
**[06:47] ---**
In the name of the heavenly Lord,
I request the dispatch of the Qilin Chuán!
**[06:52] ---**
Jí jí rú lǜ lìng!
**[07:21] ---**
Hmm... Is Byakuei planning to ram
Red Dragon with the Qilin Chuán?
**[07:27] ---**
Could it be...?
**[07:28] ---**
Ka Grava?
**[07:33] ---**
He must have a plan...
**[07:36] ---**
Eykha...
**[07:39] ---**
Where are you...?
**[07:51] ---**
Red Dragon, hear my words
as the Child of Contract!
**[07:55] ---**
Child of Contract...
**[08:00] ---**
The despair your sibling bears
is darker than dark itself,
**[08:04] ---**
and her flames of wrath are burning strong...
**[08:07] ---**
Even my consciousness is about
to be swallowed by her anger...
**[08:18] ---**
That's...?!
**[08:20] ---**
Ibuki...!
**[08:21] ---**
The dragon's claw...!
**[08:28] ---**
You're the one who should be using it!
**[08:31] ---**
I'm counting on you!
**[08:33] ---**
Will he understand the meaning of that claw?
**[08:36] ---**
All we can do now...
**[08:39] ---**
...is believe in him.
**[08:44] ---**
But even if Red Dragon regains its sanity,
in order to truly defeat Inori...
**[08:50] ---**
He has his equivalent exchanges.
**[08:52] ---**
There's Ka Grava, Lou, and me.
**[08:55] ---**
There are many on this battlefield
whom he holds precious.
**[08:59] ---**
What in the world are you saying...?
**[09:10] ---**
Please protect yourself with the Black Curtain!
**[09:13] ---**
I can only use that barrier once a day...
**[09:15] ---**
I'll save it till the very last!
**[09:17] ---**
Of all the times to be stingy!
**[09:20] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[09:23] ---**
Ibuki, I know you're going to
struggle now and in the future...
**[09:28] ---**
Let me help you just a bit more...
**[09:32] ---**
We are friends, after all...
**[09:35] ---**
Val...?!
**[09:36] ---**
Eykha!
**[09:38] ---**
Eykha...!
**[09:40] ---**
Please, answer me...!
**[09:43] ---**
Eykha!
**[09:47] ---**
My travels began when I met Eykha...
**[09:51] ---**
You're not my sword...
**[09:53] ---**
You're precious to me.
**[09:55] ---**
So, I won't let you die, Eykha...!
**[10:04] ---**
I-Ibuki...
**[10:07] ---**
Eykha!
**[10:11] ---**
My life is about to end...
**[10:16] ---**
So, I want to use it for you, Ibuki...
**[10:21] ---**
I won't let you become a victim of all this!
**[10:24] ---**
Wait for me here...
**[10:25] ---**
Ibuki...
**[10:29] ---**
Red Dragon...
**[10:31] ---**
I...
**[10:35] ---**
Qilin Chuán | The 'Qilin Chuán' is Kouran's
final weapon brought in to defend Nil Kamui.
**[10:44] ---**
Hello there, dear Brother...
**[10:47] ---**
I'm sorry I couldn't protect you...
**[10:50] ---**
But let's stop all this already...
**[10:52] ---**
This isn't the kind of thing a king does.
**[10:55] ---**
A king is allowed to do
such things, dear Brother...
**[11:00] ---**
Inori!
**[11:02] ---**
If you die and become a Returned One,
**[11:04] ---**
you'll go back to being the kind,
dear Brother I used to like...
**[11:09] ---**
That's right! Why didn't
I figure that out before?!
**[11:12] ---**
Isn't that right, my Red Dragon?
**[11:21] ---**
Incinerate him!
**[11:27] ---**
Ka Grava...!
**[11:32] ---**
I'm pretty sturdy, you know?
**[11:39] ---**
I can't control it!
**[11:40] ---**
Wh-What are you doing, Sweallow?!
**[11:43] ---**
Whatever I use breaks.
**[11:46] ---**
But at the moment it does,
I can draw out all of its power!
**[11:50] ---**
That doesn't change, even for warships.
**[11:52] ---**
M-My clan spent 100 years building this ship!
**[11:57] ---**
If it breaks, make it again!
**[11:59] ---**
Wha--?!
**[12:00] ---**
New things are only born from destruction!
**[12:03] ---**
You're planning to expend it
just for that one moment?!
**[12:07] ---**
That's the sin we humans carry...
**[12:12] ---**
I see...
**[12:13] ---**
So that's what my curse is about...
**[12:20] ---**
Damn it!
**[12:22] ---**
I'm going to punch you later!
**[12:23] ---**
Be ready!
**[12:24] ---**
Byakuei...!
**[12:27] ---**
I believe we need to survive in order for
you to be properly punched, Sir Sweallow.
**[12:33] ---**
Meryl...
**[12:45] ---**
Before the Black Dragon Knight
gets in our way,
**[12:48] ---**
let me drink Red Dragon's life dry, Lou.
**[12:52] ---**
No, my Lord...
**[12:55] ---**
Sweallow...!
**[12:59] ---**
Wait, Lou!
**[13:00] ---**
Now is the time to kill Red Dragon!
**[13:03] ---**
Now is the time to defeat him!
**[13:08] ---**
Lou?!
**[13:09] ---**
What is she up to?!
**[13:10] ---**
At this rate...!
**[13:21] ---**
Hey there, Lou.
**[13:23] ---**
--What?!
--Huh?!
**[13:24] ---**
I thought you were going
to defeat Red Dragon.
**[13:27] ---**
First, I'm going to kill you.
**[13:30] ---**
My life's purpose would
be denied if I let you be!
**[13:35] ---**
Well, that's quite an honor.
**[13:37] ---**
But you're a bit too late.
**[13:42] ---**
Sweallow...!
**[13:44] ---**
Contract seal, release!
**[13:46] ---**
Eat this!
**[14:05] ---**
Sir Sweallow...!
**[14:09] ---**
Sweallow...!
**[14:11] ---**
Lou!
**[14:12] ---**
Out of my way!
**[14:14] ---**
Black Dragon! I call upon the Black Curtain!
**[14:29] ---**
Sir Sweallow...!
**[14:52] ---**
Now then...
**[14:54] ---**
It's my turn, Ibuki.
**[14:57] ---**
So you were planning this all along...?!
**[15:00] ---**
Your words should reach Red Dragon now.
**[15:08] ---**
What are you saying?
**[15:12] ---**
Red Dragon is immortal!
**[15:22] ---**
Val! Eykha!
**[15:24] ---**
Why...?!
**[15:27] ---**
I want to be your sword until the very end...
**[15:32] ---**
No! That won't do!
**[15:37] ---**
Wait... Maybe...
**[15:51] ---**
Answer my voice, Red Dragon!
**[15:54] ---**
Recover your soul as Nil Kamui's guardian!
**[16:05] ---**
So, you brought me back
from my state of madness...
**[16:08] ---**
You have my gratitude.
**[16:10] ---**
You truly are the king of Nil Kamui.
**[16:16] ---**
What is your desire?
**[16:21] ---**
I traveled long and far so that
I could return to you this curse.
**[16:25] ---**
Curse...?
**[16:27] ---**
You wish to return to me the
power granted by our contract?
**[16:31] ---**
No... Right now, I need this power.
**[16:35] ---**
That's why I'll live with this curse.
**[16:40] ---**
But I want to sever this sad chain of events...
**[16:43] ---**
If so, offer me an equivalence...
**[16:48] ---**
My equivalence...
**[16:54] ---**
I understand...
**[16:56] ---**
I will offer you the life of
the one most precious to me...
**[17:01] ---**
But I want you to promise me one thing.
**[17:08] ---**
How dare that monster...?!
**[17:11] ---**
Red Dragon, burn them to ashes!
**[17:16] ---**
What's the matter?!
**[17:22] ---**
Throughout our travels,
**[17:24] ---**
Lou, Ka Grava, Sweallow, and Eykha
have sacrificed many precious things...
**[17:33] ---**
Losing things made us move forward.
**[17:37] ---**
But I didn't want to lose anything...
**[17:40] ---**
I tried not to take anyone's life
or lose anything precious...
**[17:46] ---**
But that only meant I continued to live while
taking something precious from someone else.
**[17:54] ---**
I decided...
**[17:55] ---**
...which friend to kill, and in turn,
what was to be protected.
**[18:02] ---**
Now do it, Ibuki!
**[18:06] ---**
I will offer Eykha's life to Red Dragon!
**[18:12] ---**
Ibuki!
**[18:13] ---**
Eykha...
**[18:16] ---**
I understand...
**[18:17] ---**
S-Stop, dear Brother!
**[18:22] ---**
Red Dragon! Destroy them!
**[18:32] ---**
Listen to me, Eykha...
**[18:35] ---**
I'm going to do something horrible to you...
**[18:37] ---**
You probably won't forgive me for this...
**[18:40] ---**
Ibuki...
**[18:45] ---**
Even so, I will protect you...
**[19:00] ---**
Inori, I promise you...!
**[19:02] ---**
No...
**[19:04] ---**
I won't repeat the sorrow you went through!
**[19:07] ---**
No...
**[19:08] ---**
I'll make a country without sorrow!
**[19:11] ---**
Dear Brother...
**[19:12] ---**
Please, no...!
**[19:23] ---**
Good night, Inori...
**[19:28] ---**
Dear... Brother...
**[19:36] ---**
Not a bad ending at all...
**[19:39] ---**
I will reward you for your work.
**[19:43] ---**
Uh, if you mean lifting my curse,
don't worry about it.
**[19:47] ---**
Oh?
**[19:48] ---**
This "curse" of creating and breaking
is something we humans bear.
**[19:54] ---**
I want to see what the
future holds for this curse.
**[20:03] ---**
Sir Sweallow...!
**[20:07] ---**
Well, it looks like Black Dragon
still wants me to live...
**[20:17] ---**
You... lowlife...!
**[20:20] ---**
Ouch...!
**[20:22] ---**
Lowlife! Lowlife! Lowlife!
**[20:25] ---**
Oww!
**[20:49] ---**
Looks like we can have fun again, Lou...
**[20:52] ---**
Yes, my Lord...
**[21:00] ---**
One month later... | Shuka Government
**[21:04] ---**
Our spiritual mother has approved
of Nil Kamui's new system.
**[21:09] ---**
We were finally able to receive
approval from our country as well.
**[21:13] ---**
Now we can focus on the restoration.
**[21:15] ---**
Then, is it final that both D'natia and Kouran
officially approve of the new king?
**[21:22] ---**
There are no objections from the council.
**[21:25] ---**
Now then, let us bring in the new king-to-be.
**[21:29] ---**
Uh, I'm sorry...
**[21:32] ---**
Ibuki asked that we delay
the crowning ceremony.
**[21:44] ---**
I will offer you the life of the one
most precious to me... Eykha.
**[21:50] ---**
But I want you to promise me one thing.
**[21:52] ---**
I want you to give a part of
Val's remaining life to Eykha.
**[21:57] ---**
Can you do that?
**[21:59] ---**
Yes.
**[22:00] ---**
But that would mean that two lives
would come together as one anew.
**[22:07] ---**
Even if she gains a new life, her soul, memory,
and mind will not be the same as before.
**[22:16] ---**
Are you all right with that?
**[22:19] ---**
Both Eykha and Val have little time to live.
**[22:22] ---**
I'm going to protect Eykha...
**[22:26] ---**
...by offering her as a sacrifice.
**[22:28] ---**
Even if Eykha becomes someone completely
different from the Eykha I know...
**[22:33] ---**
...I want her to live!
**[22:40] ---**
Last of the Dragon Shrine Maidens...
**[22:44] ---**
I have given you a new body and soul...
**[22:51] ---**
I...
**[22:54] ---**
...feel like I need to see someone...
**[22:57] ---**
If so, then go...
**[23:08] ---**
I'll...
**[23:18] ---**
...travel with you again...
