[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...
