[00:19] ---
    One day, a boy asked the
    great ruler of the monsters...
[00:25] ---
    "You always scowl at the
    world with such a sad look.
[00:29] ---
    Are you always going to be that way?"
[00:33] ---
    The ruler replied,
[00:36] ---
    "If you promise to grant
    my wish, I will stop being sad.
[00:46] ---
    But, if you break your
    promise, I may devour you."
[00:59] ---
    Just a dream?
[01:07] ---
    What's the matter?
[01:08] ---
    Don't give me that!
    Why are you in my bed again?!
[01:15] ---
    What is that?
[01:18] ---
    It... represents a promise.
[01:21] ---
    A promise?
[01:22] ---
    Yeah...
[01:27] ---
    Oh, yeah. Princess. Was someone here just--
[01:31] ---
    Sheesh.
[01:50] ---
    nee kimi wa oboeteiru
[01:56] ---

[02:44] ---
    ano hitomi ga itoshii
[03:06] ---
    On the left-hand side,
[03:09] ---
    we have a finite number of primes
    as a result of "reductio ad absurdum."
[03:12] ---
    At the same time, because the
    right-hand side is a harmonic series,
[03:15] ---
    it diverges into positive infinity.
[03:17] ---
    This is a contradiction.
[03:19] ---
    This demonstrates the postulation
    that primes are finite is incongruous,
[03:25] ---
    therefore indicating that the
    opposite of the postulation is true:
[03:28] ---
    that there exist an infinite number of primes.
[03:33] ---
    Quod erat demonstrandum.
    My proof is complete.
[03:37] ---
    That was flawless, Princess...
[03:40] ---
    "Mina" will do. I am a mere
    student while in the classroom.
[03:53] ---
    I-I'm sorr--!
[03:56] ---
    Sorry.
[03:59] ---
    Th-That's okay...
[04:13] ---
    They treat you like some rare animal.
[04:15] ---
    I'd say I'm more of a vicious beast.
[04:18] ---
    You say so yourself?
[04:20] ---
    I am the ruler of the vampires.
[04:22] ---
    My ability would be in doubt if
    I did not elicit at least some awe.
[04:28] ---
    Regardless of how adorable
    I appear on the outside.
[04:32] ---
    You say so yourself?
[04:34] ---
    The guys are playing soccer next!
[04:37] ---
    Go ahead. Run around to your heart's content.
[04:41] ---
    I will be fine on my own.
[04:43] ---
    But...
[04:44] ---
    Oh? Are you worried about me?
[04:46] ---
    I'm worried about those around you.
[04:48] ---
    Silence. Right now, I am here as a student.
[04:52] ---
    As such, I will successfully make it
    through the day as a regular student!
[04:58] ---
    Today you will be making simmered
    meat and potatoes with fried eggs.
[05:07] ---
    But, are you familiar with cooking, Princess?
[05:11] ---
    Call me Mina!
[05:12] ---
    And don't worry about me.
    I know a thing or two about cooking!
[05:17] ---
    Do you know what this is?
[05:19] ---
    A razor.
[05:20] ---
    How about this?
[05:21] ---
    A tea whisk. A rather inelegant one, too.
[05:26] ---
    Umm, does anyone want to be Mina's partner?
[05:35] ---
    I'll be Mina's partner.
[05:50] ---
    Sorry to inconvenience you.
[05:52] ---
    No, I wanted to try talking
    with you anyway, Princess.
[05:56] ---
    Just call me "Mina."
[06:00] ---
    So, where do we begin?
[06:02] ---
    Hmm, could you crack an egg for me?
[06:06] ---
    Egg, egg...
[06:09] ---
    Okay!
[06:15] ---
    Princess...
[06:17] ---
    Th-They shatter that easily?! What feeble eggs!
[06:22] ---
    Especially for shells meant
    to protect newborn lives!
[06:26] ---
    You've never cooked before, have you?
[06:29] ---
    Nonsense! There is nothing I cannot do!
[06:31] ---
    It's your first time, isn't it?
[06:35] ---
    Yeah.
[06:38] ---
    That's not fair...
[06:41] ---
    Okay, the trick to cracking an egg
[06:43] ---
    is to hit it on a flat
    surface rather than a corner!
[06:49] ---
    Oh! Well done!
[06:52] ---
    Did you know that fried egg is
    Akira's--Kaburagi's favorite food?
[06:58] ---
    What?! Then I must work very hard on it!
[07:01] ---
    But how do you know that?
[07:04] ---
    Because... w-we're classmates.
[07:08] ---
    Oh. Then let us begin.
[07:13] ---
    Here I go!
[07:17] ---
    This was my very first
    conversation with Princess Mina.
[07:21] ---
    She was a mysterious girl, full
    of arrogance and overconfidence,
[07:27] ---
    but sometimes she revealed a
    very lovely and ephemeral side too.
[07:31] ---
    But, at the time, I still
    hadn't realized her true terror
[07:38] ---
    or her true sorrow...
[07:52] ---
    Chairwoman's Office
[07:54] ---
    Go on!
[07:55] ---
    Eat up!
[08:13] ---
    It's good!
[08:14] ---
    Really?!
[08:15] ---
    Did you really make this, Princess?!
[08:17] ---
    Of course I did!
[08:18] ---
    Try the meat and potatoes! It's my masterpiece!
[08:22] ---
    Don't mind if I do! All that
    running around has made me hungry!
[08:32] ---
    It's me.
[08:34] ---
    What? The TV?
[08:37] ---
    Opposed!!
[08:37] ---
    P.M. Mizoguchi ready for showdown
[08:37] ---
    In a speech just now,
[08:40] ---
    Prime Minister Mizoguchi asserted his adamant opposition
[08:43] ---
    to the bipartisan coalition's Special Zone Establishment Bill.
[08:46] ---
    He also said he is prepared to dissolve the assembly if need be.
[08:50] ---
    In response, the bipartisan
    coalition's representative, Mr. Isurugi--
[08:56] ---
    Understood. I'm on my way.
[08:58] ---
    Oh, yes. Call Alphonse too,
    just to be on the safe side.
[09:01] ---
    Understood, Vera?
[09:04] ---
    I'll be leaving early today.
    I must attend to pressing business.
[09:08] ---
    Okay. I'll make preparations at once.
[09:10] ---
    No, I'll be going alone.
    You will remain here and attend class.
[09:15] ---
    This is politics. You'll be of no use.
[09:18] ---
    But...
[09:20] ---
    Do you want to see?
[09:28] ---
    Not here...
[09:30] ---
    What isn't?
[09:31] ---
    Akira asked me to find a ring he lost.
[09:36] ---
    A ring?! Are you serious?
[09:38] ---
    Don't tell me he was planning
    to give it to the princess
[09:41] ---
    or anything like that, was he?!
[09:45] ---
    Nella.
[09:46] ---
    Yes?
[09:47] ---
    Lord Alphonse wishes to see you.
[09:52] ---
    Really?
[09:53] ---
    Yeah. I've been watching all day.
[09:56] ---
    Akira's been stuck to that vampire like glue.
[09:59] ---
    I've seriously lost all trust in him.
[10:01] ---
    Then we students will just
    have to protect ourselves,
[10:07] ---
    to prevent a repeat of
    what happened to Shinonome.
[10:09] ---
    Wait! That's only a rumor!
[10:12] ---
    I understand how you feel, Kuze.
[10:15] ---
    But can you still say that after seeing these?
[10:21] ---
    The student council received them
    this morning from an anonymous source.
[10:26] ---
    Okay. I haven't much time.
    Finish your business with me at once.
[10:32] ---
    Business?
[10:34] ---
    You have something to tell me, don't you?
[10:37] ---
    Can I ask you something?
[10:38] ---
    What is it?
[10:39] ---
    About Nanami Shinonome,
    the student council president...
[10:43] ---
    They say she's skipping school,
    but is that really the case?
[10:47] ---
    What are you trying to say?
[10:49] ---
    It's only a rumor, but people are saying
[10:51] ---
    that she actually went missing
    after vampires attacked her...
[10:56] ---
    Oh? And you suspect me of being behind it?
[11:02] ---
    Yes.
[11:04] ---
    You're a lot braver than you look!
[11:10] ---
    That ring...
[11:12] ---
    What about it?
[11:14] ---
    That's the ring I gave Akira...
[11:17] ---
    Why do you--?
[11:18] ---
    Akira gave it to me, as a sign of loyalty.
[11:21] ---
    You're lying! He wouldn't do that!
[11:23] ---
    How can you be so sure?!
[11:24] ---
    I... I gave it to Akira last year as a present!
[11:29] ---
    It... represents a promise.
[11:31] ---
    I see. So it was...
[11:36] ---
    So it was you?
[11:38] ---
    Akira would never just give
    away something someone gave him!
[11:44] ---
    So why do you have--
[11:45] ---
    Be quiet, girl!
[11:47] ---
    You seem to know Akira
    well, so I'll tell you this...
[11:52] ---
    Akira is mine!
[11:54] ---
    Akira was born and raised to serve me!
[11:58] ---
    Every drop of blood, every muscle,
    every bone in his body is mine!
[12:04] ---
    Now begone with you! I am busy!
[12:13] ---
    She's as impossible to figure out as ever...
[12:16] ---
    Stop...!
[12:17] ---
    No violence!
[12:18] ---
    Shut the hell up!
[12:28] ---
    Kaburagi!
[12:30] ---
    What are you guys doing?!
[12:32] ---
    An executive officer!
[12:36] ---
    You okay? What was that about--?!
[12:38] ---
    Stay away!
[12:41] ---
    W-We'll get beat up again if
    people see us talking to you!
[12:45] ---
    You idiot! Don't defy Kaburagi!
[12:47] ---
    Yeah! Or else they'll get us next time!
[12:50] ---
    Just like they did with the class president!
[12:51] ---
    What?! What do you mean,
    "Just like they did with the class president"?
[12:56] ---
    You mean you don't know?
[12:59] ---
    Look!
[13:04] ---
    The class president?!
[13:06] ---
    She's been absent all
    this time. Or so we thought.
[13:10] ---
    But that's what really happened.
[13:12] ---
    Look closely. It's in the student council room.
[13:15] ---
    It's been destroyed pretty badly too,
[13:17] ---
    but it was fixed the next day,
    like nothing had happened.
[13:20] ---
    Who could possibly do that?
[13:22] ---
    Who's able to control vampires as they see fit?!
[13:25] ---
    Despite this, are you still on
    the vampires' side, Akira Kaburagi?!
[13:35] ---
    Does something worry you?
[13:37] ---
    No.
[13:39] ---
    Do you think Mizoguchi will
    really dissolve the assembly?
[13:43] ---
    Most likely.
[13:44] ---
    As things are now, it is
    clear that the bill will be passed
[13:48] ---
    by the legislators we have won over.
[13:51] ---
    And if he goes through with it
    and causes a new general election?
[13:54] ---
    Securing the same number of
    seats again will be quite difficult.
[13:59] ---
    So what do we have?
[14:00] ---
    This is the prime minister's
    five year old grandson.
[14:03] ---
    Despite how the prime minister seems,
[14:05] ---
    at home he's a kind grandfather
    who dotes over his grandson.
[14:08] ---
    Alphonse. We may need your
    services sooner than expected.
[14:13] ---
    Of course. Just give the word.
[14:16] ---
    The school and those behind Mizoguchi...
[14:20] ---
    These will be what determine success or failure.
[14:32] ---
    Don't you feel pissed,
    being used by those idiots?
[14:38] ---
    So let me help you...!
[14:43] ---
    That city almost seems like an illusion.
[14:46] ---
    But it's a reality. One not even
    I or the humans can escape from.
[14:51] ---
    What does that mean? That makes
    it sound like you're different from us.
[15:00] ---
    Was the food good?
[15:01] ---
    Yeah. It tasted way better than it looked!
[15:05] ---
    That's good. The princess
    worked really hard on it...
[15:10] ---
    Thanks, Yuki.
[15:13] ---
    You seasoned it, didn't you?
[15:15] ---
    It tasted like your cooking,
[15:18] ---
    plus vampires don't have a
    sense of taste like people do.
[15:22] ---
    There's no way she can possibly cook.
[15:27] ---
    But knowing her, she probably
    refused to say she couldn't do it
[15:32] ---
    and probably didn't even thank you.
[15:36] ---
    You must know her really well...
[15:42] ---
    No...
[15:54] ---
    These guys...!
[16:03] ---
    Vampires!
[16:10] ---
    Those are our uniforms!
[16:17] ---
    So you absolutely refuse to agree?
[16:19] ---
    That's right.
[16:21] ---
    I know trying to talk sense
    into you might be pointless,
[16:25] ---
    but leased territory in
    Japan, in this day and age?
[16:28] ---
    Belonging to vampires, of all things?
[16:30] ---
    How can you expect me to agree to that?
[16:33] ---
    We have prepared more than
    enough collateral for this country...
[16:38] ---
    Despite that--no, because of that very fact--
[16:42] ---
    I am obligated to dissolve
    the assembly to determine
[16:45] ---
    if the public wants this or not
    and if it will be beneficial or not.
[16:49] ---
    Ask the public, huh.
[16:51] ---
    That sounds good, but is the act
[16:53] ---
    of an inept policymaker who
    refuses to make real decisions.
[16:56] ---
    Oh?
[16:57] ---
    If we back out now, Japan
    will be plunged into a depression
[17:00] ---
    the likes of which it has never seen before.
[17:04] ---
    You will never be able to recover from it.
[17:06] ---
    So? If that's what the people choose, so be it.
[17:14] ---
    Come to think of it,
    isn't your term up in a year?
[17:18] ---
    Yes.
[17:19] ---
    So what happens afterward
    is no concern to you?
[17:23] ---
    I see.
[17:24] ---
    Standing up to these "monstrous" vampires
[17:27] ---
    and protecting the sanctity
    of the Japanese people
[17:31] ---
    will ensure your name is
    celebrated even long after you're dead.
[17:35] ---
    You are a very imaginative girl.
[17:39] ---
    Hypothetically speaking--and
    hypothetically only--
[17:42] ---
    that could indeed make the
    Mizoguchi family an important fixture
[17:46] ---
    in this country's government
    for generations to come.
[17:55] ---
    Scum.
[17:57] ---
    What was that?
[17:58] ---
    Prime Minister. We are the
    monsters you make us out to be.
[18:02] ---
    We could use power and fear to have our way.
[18:06] ---
    But I'm talking with you instead.
    Why do you think that is?
[18:12] ---
    It's because we're following the
    rules of this country--of human society.
[18:17] ---
    We have gone out of our way
    to show respect for you humans.
[18:21] ---
    If you'd rather make light of us,
[18:23] ---
    we can always go back
    to doing things by our rules.
[18:28] ---
    A-Are you threatening this country?!
[18:32] ---
    I am talking with you at the moment.
[18:35] ---
    What does that mean?!
[18:36] ---
    How dare you act so
    rudely to Katsuichi Mizoguchi!
[18:40] ---
    You're the rude one.
[18:42] ---
    Don't push your luck, you damn girl!
[18:44] ---
    I guess that's that.
[18:49] ---
    Do it.
[18:50] ---
    As you wish.
[18:52] ---
    Nella.
[19:02] ---
    Our conversation is finished.
[19:04] ---
    I am truly regretful it had to end
    this way, Prime Minister Mizoguchi.
[19:31] ---
    Akira!
[19:42] ---
    It really worked!
[19:44] ---
    Whadya think, Fido? Is silver powder tasty?!
[19:47] ---
    You're an eyesore. It's time for
    you to quit clinging to the princess!
[19:58] ---
    Die!
[20:17] ---
    You!
[20:22] ---
    Leave this to me!
[20:28] ---
    Akira!
[20:29] ---
    Just get out of here!
    You'll only get in the way!
[20:44] ---
    They were wearing our uniforms!
[20:47] ---
    Damn! How could vampires
    sneak their way into our school?!
[20:51] ---
    I have to tell the princess right away!
[20:54] ---
    Even at a time like this, you
    think more about Mina than yourself...
[21:04] ---
    Do you remember the day
    I suddenly collapsed in the schoolyard?
[21:08] ---
    She came all by herself to try to find me,
[21:12] ---
    after I lost my memory and became useless.
[21:16] ---
    Just for some measly
    promise I made when I was little,
[21:20] ---
    even though her own life was in danger.
[21:23] ---
    So, I...
[21:25] ---
    She wasn't alone...
[21:29] ---
    I saw you and Mina running away that day...
[21:34] ---
    And all those guards who
    were secretly following you two,
[21:39] ---
    protecting you from the shadows...
[21:43] ---
    Are you serious?!
[22:05] ---
    Princess...
[22:06] ---
    I'm sorry, but let me be
    by myself for a while longer.
[22:26] ---
    Akira...
[22:36] ---
    Mina Tepeş
[22:36] ---
    Akira. What are you up to?
[22:38] ---
    Oh, nothing. What about you?
[22:41] ---
    Nothing really. I just...
    wanted to hear your voice, that's all.
[22:47] ---
    Tell me, Princess. I can trust you, right?
[23:05] ---
    Yes.
[23:15] ---
    Trust me.

[24:50] ---
    The princess gave us her
    homemade meat and potatoes meal!
[24:53] ---
    We'll do rock-paper-scissors to see who gets it!
[24:55] ---
    What about Nella?
[24:56] ---
    Her loss!
[24:57] ---
    Ready, set, go!
[24:59] ---
    I win!
[25:00] ---
    You went afterward!
[25:01] ---
    I can't help that I'm slow!
[25:02] ---
