[00:21] ---
    I'll protect you...
[00:34] ---
    Princess!
[00:53] ---
    This... can't be...
[00:55] ---
    I'm going to kill you...
[01:01] ---
    I'm going to kill you...
[01:09] ---
    What was that?!
[01:11] ---
    Did you have a bad dream?
[01:13] ---
    No, it was--
[01:14] ---
    Wait! What are you doing?!
[01:16] ---
    I've been so busy that we
    haven't been able to talk,
[01:20] ---
    so I went out of my way to see you.
[01:22] ---
    But you had the nerve to be asleep,
[01:27] ---
    so I decided I would watch and admire.
[01:30] ---
    Watching me sleep is fun?
[01:33] ---
    Yes. It is!
[01:35] ---
    You've grown a lot, but when you sleep
[01:38] ---
    you still look the same as you
    did when we first met long ago.
[01:44] ---
    Say, Princess. You know those
    flowers blooming in that greenhouse?
[01:50] ---
    Cleomes.
[01:51] ---
    I had a splendid flower
    garden in my secret place.
[01:55] ---
    The flowers in the greenhouse
    were transplanted from there.
[01:59] ---
    Cleomes...
[02:01] ---
    Tell me, Akira. Are you free this weekend?
[02:04] ---
    Why?
[02:06] ---
    Well, umm... The bund is
    finally getting underway and all.
[02:11] ---
    I should be able to take a few days off now.
[02:16] ---
    Won't you come see them with me?
[02:19] ---
    Sure, sounds-- Wait!
[02:21] ---
    Sorry, I can't this weekend!
[02:24] ---
    What?!
[02:25] ---
    N-Next week, I promise!
    I'll go wherever you want!
[02:29] ---
    You really promise?
[02:31] ---
    Yeah.
[02:47] ---
    The day we exchanged a kiss
[02:53] ---
    I wasn't even able to see my mother's face
[02:59] ---
    We gathered up the coins in our pockets
[03:04] ---
    and counted our dreams one by one
[03:11] ---
    Look, there's their secret hideout
[03:18] ---
    their secret memories, oh
[03:23] ---
    Where did it fall apart, oh friends
[03:29] ---
    When we gazed at each other on downcast days
[03:35] ---
    and held hands, oh friends
[03:41] ---
    it felt like time had stopped
[04:07] ---
    It happened on a peaceful afternoon
    after the terrorism turmoil had ended

[04:11] ---
    and everything appeared to
    have calmed down in the bund...

[04:17] ---
    Not too shabby, is it?
[04:19] ---
    But is it really okay for us to join you?
[04:23] ---
    The princess has told us to act as her friends
[04:26] ---
    when not on duty, so it's no problem at all.
[04:30] ---
    Class President Shinonome
    started living with Yuzuru in the bund

[04:34] ---
    and started working for Princess Mina as a maid.
[04:37] ---
    She was also able to return to the academy.
[04:42] ---
    Are you accustomed to it now, Yuzuru?
[04:44] ---
    Yes. I'm very grateful to you and Akira.
[04:49] ---
    Thanks to you, we're...
[04:53] ---
    How passionate! It's almost hard to watch!
[04:56] ---
    We started to believe that
    peaceful life had finally returned...

[05:02] ---
    Where is Akira, anyway?
[05:05] ---
    He apparently left to take care of something.
[05:08] ---
    He even turned down my invitation.
[05:12] ---
    But the tale took a cruel new turn...
[05:16] ---
    Forget about that loner!
[05:19] ---
    Let's have a lot of fun today!
[05:21] ---
    Yeah!
[05:23] ---
    The events that unfolded between
    then and the following morning

[05:27] ---
    would become unforgettable wounds
    for me, Princess Mina, and Akira...

[05:36] ---
    Still...
[05:40] ---
    It was just like you to come here
    obediently when I called you, Akira!
[05:46] ---
    You're the one who told me
    to come, saying I owe you a lot.
[05:52] ---
    So, you felt indebted to me?
[05:55] ---
    I guess.
[05:56] ---
    Plus, there's a lot I want to ask you anyway.
[06:00] ---
    From the top, 83, 58, 85.
[06:06] ---
    Huh?!
[06:09] ---
    I also happen to be a virgin.
[06:11] ---
    Virg--?!
[06:12] ---
    You don't believe me? How unexpected.
[06:15] ---
    Want to see for yourself then?
[06:18] ---
    Sh-Shut up! It's the
    middle of the day, you know!
[06:21] ---
    Night would be better for you? Pervert!
[06:23] ---
    Who're you calling--?!
[06:28] ---
    Good?
[06:29] ---
    Why, you!
[06:34] ---
    Catch me if you can!
[06:36] ---
    Dammit!
[06:49] ---
    This feels great! Why don't you join me, Akira?
[06:52] ---
    Man...
[06:56] ---
    Looks like I win our game of tag.
[06:59] ---
    Whatever.
[07:02] ---
    Mei Ren! You're...!
[07:04] ---
    Huh?
[07:05] ---
    Whoops...
[07:13] ---
    You idiot. Why aren't you
    wearing anything underneath?!
[07:16] ---
    You can see right through it!
[07:19] ---
    You caught me.
[07:20] ---
    Just be quiet.
[07:26] ---
    Geez. Don't you have any sense of decency?
[07:31] ---
    I didn't expect to get yelled
    at for giving away a little peek.
[07:35] ---
    Oh! Or were you jealous of
    other guys getting a look-see?
[07:41] ---
    I think you've toyed with me enough now.
[07:44] ---
    Let's get down to business.
[07:46] ---
    That's something someone
    accustomed to being teased would say.
[07:50] ---
    Shut up, will you?
[07:56] ---
    These flowers...
[08:00] ---
    I recognize them. Cleomes.
[08:03] ---
    They bloom from evening to
    late night during the summer.
[08:06] ---
    They bloom at night?
[08:14] ---
    These flowers have another name, actually.
[08:18] ---
    Don't they look like something?
[08:26] ---
    They look like flowers
    with butterflies on them...
[08:29] ---
    That's why they're called Butterfly Flowers.
[08:34] ---
    There's a sad legend about them.
[08:39] ---
    There was once a butterfly.
[08:42] ---
    One day, the butterfly
    found a very beautiful butterfly
[08:46] ---
    and fell in love.
[08:49] ---
    But the butterfly he loved
[08:52] ---
    remained perfectly still on a
    flower, not even moving an inch.
[08:56] ---
    Even so, he continued to woo it day and night,
[09:00] ---
    while his life slowly slipped away.
[09:03] ---
    Even when it eventually ran
    out of strength, fell to the ground,
[09:08] ---
    and its beautiful wings fluttered in the wind,
[09:11] ---
    it still looked like a butterfly,
    though it wasn't a butterfly at all.
[09:15] ---
    It was a flower that simply stood
    there, its petals swaying in the breeze.
[09:22] ---
    A Butterfly Flower, huh...
    That almost reminds me of...

[09:26] ---
    Are you enjoying yourself?
[09:28] ---
    Yes!
[09:29] ---
    I know it's too much to ask,
[09:31] ---
    but it would be even
    nicer if we were in the sun!
[09:34] ---
    That isn't too much to ask.
[09:36] ---
    This building was built to
    allow sunbathing in any room at all!
[09:43] ---
    Don't tease me like that!
[09:46] ---
    Stop!
[09:57] ---
    Wow. Does becoming a vampire
    make everyone more curvy?
[10:02] ---
    Is that some sort of remark about me?
[10:05] ---
    N-No! When you're transformed you're--!
[10:10] ---
    I asked you never to speak of that.
[10:15] ---
    I have remained in this form for a long time.
[10:19] ---
    As a result, that lousy Akira
    sometimes treats me like a child
[10:22] ---
    even though he knows I'm not.
[10:26] ---
    That loner doesn't
    understand a girl's mind at all.
[10:31] ---
    But surely someday you'll--?
[10:33] ---
    Yes.
[10:35] ---
    I sometimes dream about it.
[10:37] ---
    I dream of being a size that matches him
[10:41] ---
    and of us loving each other
    and embracing each other.
[10:45] ---
    But, although I am sometimes
    grateful for this body, never do I detest it.
[10:51] ---
    Because my being like this
    is what lets me be with Akira.
[10:56] ---
    Princess...
[11:00] ---
    What?!
[11:02] ---
    Princess! An emergency
    message from the Port Authority!
[11:06] ---
    Three ships--the Abokyu,
    the Kremlin, and the Sanssouci--
[11:09] ---
    are approaching the bund!
[11:14] ---
    I learned something today.
    You really know a lot.
[11:30] ---
    It was the favorite flower of the
    person most important to me, you see...
[11:35] ---
    But given that you didn't say
    anything after seeing those flowers,
[11:39] ---
    I guess your memory isn't fully back.
[11:44] ---
    One reason I asked you here
[11:47] ---
    was to see how much of your memory has returned.
[11:50] ---
    Why?!
[11:51] ---
    I can't say why. But when
    you remember, blood will flow.
[11:59] ---
    Mei Ren... Who are you?!
[12:03] ---
    I told you before.
[12:04] ---
    I don't believe that!
[12:06] ---
    Then don't.
[12:08] ---
    But I understand you more
    than anyone else in the world.
[12:13] ---
    More than any human...
[12:15] ---
    More than any vampire...
[12:17] ---
    I'm someone who understands you.
[12:19] ---
    What are you--?
[12:21] ---
    Very soon, you will be faced
    with your greatest ordeal yet.
[12:26] ---
    But I want you to survive, if possible.
[12:32] ---
    So...
[12:37] ---
    The Three Clans?
[12:38] ---
    Yes.
[12:40] ---
    Family lines of "true bloods."
[12:43] ---
    Long ago, one hundred vampire clans
[12:46] ---
    ruled the land and prospered far and wide.
[12:50] ---
    Only three of those family lines remain...
[12:53] ---
    Li, Ivanovic, and Rozenmann.
[12:57] ---
    They are my blood relatives and my subjects.
[13:01] ---
    And... my nemeses!
[13:03] ---
    Nemeses?
[13:04] ---
    An internal feud of sorts has
    been going on for centuries now.
[13:09] ---
    Because we live lengthy lives,
    our quarrels do not easily abate.
[13:15] ---
    What do you think of my fighting outfit?
[13:19] ---
    Fighting?
[13:20] ---
    Worry not. They have no
    intention of harming me directly.
[13:25] ---
    There is a reason they cannot.
[13:27] ---
    That is the reason for the plotting,
    the intimidation, the deception...
[13:35] ---
    Another word for "ruler" is "trickster."
[13:40] ---
    Then at least wait until Akira is back!
[13:43] ---
    No!
[13:44] ---
    I cannot let him get involved in this.
[13:48] ---
    Why not? This is why he--
[13:50] ---
    If he comes with me, he will learn my true form,
[13:53] ---
    even if he doesn't want to.
[13:57] ---
    Don't worry. I will not lose.
[14:03] ---
    Princess...
[14:09] ---
    What?!
[14:10] ---
    She told me not to tell you. But...
[14:16] ---
    This is the ordeal?
[14:18] ---
    But you're going to go anyway, aren't you?
[14:22] ---
    Yeah.
[14:23] ---
    Tell me. Why are you always so fixated on her?
[14:27] ---
    Because I made a promise.
[14:28] ---
    Is that all?
[14:30] ---
    No...
[14:32] ---
    I see.
[14:35] ---
    Don't forget.
[14:36] ---
    No matter how much the butterfly wishes for it,
[14:38] ---
    it can never be with the flower...
[14:48] ---
    How good of you to come to my new home.
[14:54] ---
    Please forgive our sudden, unannounced visit.
[14:57] ---
    We so looked forward to being
    invited to the housewarming party
[15:03] ---
    that our impatience got the better of us.
[15:06] ---
    My sincerest apologies.
[15:08] ---
    It's been one troublesome
    incident after the other, you see.
[15:12] ---
    Telomere?
[15:14] ---
    The world has been changing
[15:16] ---
    while you glare at each other in
    your castles where time has stopped.
[15:22] ---
    Using those insects as
    your excuse is ridiculous.
[15:26] ---
    I think you are simply continuing
    to ignore us, your guardians,
[15:30] ---
    as you move things forward.
[15:33] ---
    Oh? You're saying I should ask you
    for permission for everything I do?
[15:39] ---
    Though we are blood relatives,
    we are still master and servant.
[15:41] ---
    I ask that you do not interfere.
[15:43] ---
    Enough of your impudence, girl!
[15:46] ---
    Even if it is a direct true blood line,
[15:48] ---
    the royal family's power means little now!
[15:50] ---
    Your little act as ruler of the
    vampires can no longer go on without us!
[15:56] ---
    You're the ones who mean little now.
[15:59] ---
    Then let me ask you this.
[16:01] ---
    Why have you permitted this
    to become the Tepeş royal castle
[16:05] ---
    and allowed me to live here?
[16:08] ---
    It is true that you have always
    constrained me and stood in my way.
[16:14] ---
    Yet, the castle was built.
[16:16] ---
    Why was that?!
[16:18] ---
    And now, I am here!
[16:21] ---
    This, more than anything,
    is proof of my rule over the vampires.
[16:24] ---
    Absolutely no one can rule over me!
[16:31] ---
    I see you've become quite the spitfire.
[16:35] ---
    Yes. Perhaps no one here can control you.
[16:41] ---
    But not even you can defy
    the principles of our lineage.
[16:46] ---
    You haven't forgotten, have you...
[16:49] ---
    ...wife-to-be?
[16:52] ---
    What do you mean I can't?!
[16:53] ---
    Direct orders from the princess herself.
[16:56] ---
    Akira Kaburagi is not allowed on the island.
[16:58] ---
    Urgh!
[17:00] ---
    Talk about stubborn!
[17:01] ---
    Then I'll just call someone--
[17:16] ---
    Vera. What does he mean, "wife-to-be"?
[17:19] ---
    Surely you haven't forgotten
[17:23] ---
    the responsibility of the
    head of the royal family?
[17:27] ---
    We are duty-bound to partner
    with a noble of the same blood
[17:30] ---
    and produce a child to keep
    the line of true blood intact.
[17:35] ---
    We four are the only true vampires
    left with blood from ancient times.
[17:41] ---
    And the only one among us who
    can carry a child is you, Princess Mina.
[17:47] ---
    You will marry one of us and bear his child.
[17:51] ---
    That is our lineage's
    long-held responsibility and fate.
[17:57] ---
    I am well aware of that.
[17:59] ---
    Should I find a way for this
    immature female body to bear a child,
[18:06] ---
    I will gladly go forth and wed one of you.
[18:10] ---
    So you have continually said.
[18:13] ---
    All the while, we have continued
    to circle around you in a deadlock.
[18:18] ---
    But we've grown tired of that, you see.
[18:21] ---
    So we decided to make a bet.
[18:25] ---
    A bet?
[18:28] ---
    We heard that you've had
    a pup by your side lately.
[18:34] ---
    Rumor has it you're quite fond of him indeed.
[18:37] ---
    What of Akira?!
[18:41] ---
    I'm told the dog is in
    Corridor ♪4. Put us through.
[18:45] ---
    I know you're watching.
[18:52] ---
    Do you hear me, dog?
[18:55] ---
    Immediately upon our arrival,
[18:57] ---
    we each unleashed an assassin to hunt you down.
[19:11] ---
    Our strongest and our
    most vicious subordinates...
[19:21] ---
    None of their prey has ever survived.
[19:27] ---
    Those voices! The Three Clans?!
[19:33] ---
    Yes, you are the target,
    beloved wolf pup of the princess...
[19:45] ---
    The master of the assassin who slays you by dawn
[19:48] ---
    shall be the princess' husband.
[19:52] ---
    Dog. You will take on this honorable role...
[19:58] ---
    ...and die.
[19:59] ---
    Damn it!
[20:05] ---
    Let the dog hunt begin!
[20:17] ---
    Stop! Call back your assassins at once!
[20:20] ---
    Why are you so upset? It's only a single dog.
[20:23] ---
    He is not a dog! He is my--!
[20:26] ---
    Your beloved?
[20:37] ---
    He is but a werewolf.
[20:40] ---
    You are completely separated by
    status, lineage, and even lifespan.
[20:45] ---
    Just like all the rest,
    he is of the other world.
[20:52] ---
    You need to realize that we
    four are the only ones of this world.
[20:56] ---
    Only we four live in the same world.
[21:00] ---
    There is no other place for you.
[21:07] ---
    Akira...
[21:14] ---
    Don't forget.
[21:16] ---
    No matter how much the butterfly wishes for it,
[21:19] ---
    it can never be with the flower...
[21:22] ---
    Don't let their words get
    to you! Hang on, Princess!
[21:41] ---
    If you've finished with your business,
    perhaps you would take a break?
[21:44] ---
    We're not finished.
[21:57] ---
    As I doze in the darkness, black shadows
[21:57] ---
    As per the ancient pact and the request of the Three Lords,
[22:02] ---
    dig their nails into soft skin
[22:03] ---
    we will now hold a purity inquiry!
[22:08] ---
    Drunk from pleasure, the ignorant ones rush
[22:18] ---
    Sweet, unrestrained impulses
[22:24] ---
    The pointlessness only incites them even more
[22:30] ---
    Now dress up with the cloth that
    swallows all the light of the night

[22:35] ---
    and dance
[22:42] ---
    Clumsy nails touch a heart about to break
[22:47] ---
    and creep to the top of the throat
[22:53] ---
    A world that needs protecting
    and a purity I want to protect...

[22:59] ---
    I'll bear the momentary pain
[23:04] ---
    and then fall fettered again
[23:18] ---
    Dance with the Vampire Maids!
[23:19] ---
    You're all worthless!!
[23:20] ---
    Part 10!
[23:21] ---
    You're weak! You can't
    shine silverware like that!
[23:24] ---
    R-Right!
[23:25] ---
    Say "sir" before and after you reply!
[23:27] ---
    Sir! Yes, sir!
[23:28] ---
    What are you?!
[23:30] ---
    A c-cute girl with glasses!
[23:31] ---
    Is that all?
[23:32] ---
    A cute girl with glasses and big boobs!
[23:34] ---
    How old is your boyfriend?!
[23:35] ---
    How old?!
[23:36] ---
    Thirteen!
[23:38] ---
    Call his name!
[23:39] ---
    Yuzuru...
[23:40] ---
    Louder!
[23:41] ---
    A once-in-a-century catch!
[23:43] ---
    The Maid Squad is unstoppable now!
[23:44] ---
    Unstoppable?
