[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] ---
