[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] ---
    Act 5
[21:52] ---
    Act 5 | In a Fog
[23:31] ---
    Act 6
[23:32] ---
    Act 6: "Six Paths of Transmigration."
[23:35] ---
    Yet again, a young man placing faith
    in ideals offers his life to Ibuki.
[23:41] ---
    Reunions are not always a blessing...
[23:45] ---
