# Dances with the Dragons
Jushiki, a system for reproducing natural phenomena and paraphysical acts such as the creation of matter, allows humans to wield a power which they once feared as “magic.” Its mastery has brought advancements to all fields of life, while facilitating the extermination of the once-rampant “Dragons” and “Others.” Gaius and Gigina, two combat-type jushiki wielders, run an office in a chaotic frontier town called Eridana, and make a living using their art to solve problems and collect bounties. One day, a dragon-hunting job falls into their laps. But it's just the start of a plot far deeper…

**[03:09] ---**
Don't take it so personally.
**[03:12] ---**
This may be the buffer zone
between us and the dragons,
**[03:15] ---**
but if you eat humans, we have
no choice but to defeat you.
**[03:21] ---**
It's a little late for that, isn't it?
**[03:24] ---**
We're Offensive Jushikiists. That's our job.
**[03:28] ---**
It's a shitty job.
**[03:30] ---**
Battling the dragons is
of the highest honor.
**[03:32] ---**
I'm content with this.
**[03:35] ---**
Sure, maybe to the noble Gigina
Jardi Doruk Meleios Ashley-Bufh,
**[03:42] ---**
a descendant of the noble race of warriors.
**[03:47] ---**
Then would you care to tell me
what that Aini from earlier was?
**[03:51] ---**
What do you mean?
**[03:52] ---**
You didn't generate enough for that distance.
**[03:55] ---**
If I'd been 0.1 seconds later in my
pursuit, you would have been dead.
**[04:00] ---**
I...
**[04:01] ---**
I just decided that buying
time would be effective
**[04:04] ---**
because I knew I could rely on your pursuit.
**[04:08] ---**
Come on, would a dragon killer
give his beloved Draken...
**[04:16] ---**
You're not worthy of speaking
of the Draken people.
**[04:21] ---**
Don't you dare.
**[04:25] ---**
All right, fine.
**[04:27] ---**
What a pain in the ass your people are.
**[04:29] ---**
What a pain in the ass you are.
**[04:35] ---**
I knew it was too easy.
**[04:38] ---**
The reports said there would
be a pair of dragons...
**[04:42] ---**
Formidable enemies in the 500-year class.
**[04:45] ---**
Then we know who we need to destroy.
**[04:53] ---**
A black dragon.
**[04:54] ---**
It's in the 800... no, 900-year class.
**[04:58] ---**
An Altar!
**[05:00] ---**
Brilliant.
**[05:00] ---**
Terrible.
**[05:04] ---**
Arsh Modai... A defensive barrier.
**[06:02] ---**
Proke?!
**[06:10] ---**
It's not going to be as easy as we thought.
**[06:13] ---**
Healing Jushiki...
**[06:15] ---**
Gigina, do you think we can take it?
**[06:18] ---**
I don't know.
**[06:19] ---**
I've never fought an Altar before, either.
**[06:22] ---**
Excellent.
**[06:23] ---**
You people are freaks.
**[06:25] ---**
We don't stand a chance fighting
against that barrier head-on.
**[06:29] ---**
We need a plan.
**[06:33] ---**
All right, let's go.
**[06:36] ---**
Of course we're going!
**[07:39] ---**
It's over.
**[07:56] ---**
Gigina, you were waiting for me
to fall to my knees, weren't you?
**[08:00] ---**
Who could possibly fall to
their knees before you did?
**[08:28] ---**
Are you listening,
you delinquent Jushikiists?!
**[08:32] ---**
Gayus Levina Soleil, is your title
of Viscount just for show?
**[08:36] ---**
I'm a third son, so technically, I'm treated
as a Vice Viscount, Chief Sutherland.
**[08:42] ---**
You're obviously not getting the workers'
compensation that you requested.
**[08:49] ---**
But it was an 800-year-old class!
**[08:52] ---**
It was a black dragon that
could have become an Altar!
**[08:55] ---**
Public funds don't come for free!
**[08:57] ---**
But...
**[08:58] ---**
It looks like you two need to be taught
what it means to be upright human beings.
**[09:05] ---**
I'm going to see if there are any
Jushiki that'll thin his hair out.
**[09:11] ---**
Lowly officials only ever care about adhering
**[09:14] ---**
to precedent and covering their own asses.
**[09:17] ---**
But even knowing that it was a semi-Altar,
**[09:21] ---**
I'm content that I got to defeat it.
**[09:23] ---**
It made me feel confident that
I could defeat a real Altar next time
**[09:26] ---**
Are you getting enough oxygen to your brain?
**[09:29] ---**
You're seriously going to die next time.
**[09:31] ---**
Do you honestly think the two of us
could lose when we're together?
**[09:37] ---**
Well, you know, I don't think
we'd lose to most enemies...
**[09:44] ---**
May you be blessed by
the sword and the moon.
**[09:50] ---**
As I said, the Alsok territory
issue is insignificant.
**[09:55] ---**
We need to be thinking about maintaining our
**[09:57] ---**
coexistence with the
Lapetodes Seven-City Alliance.
**[09:59] ---**
Are you insisting that we give up our
territory to that pathetic, little nation?
**[10:03] ---**
Lapetodes would say the same of us.
We need to avoid unnecessary conflict.
**[10:07] ---**
Give up one thing, and they'll
ask for more and more.
**[10:09] ---**
Compromise is out of the question!
**[10:13] ---**
This discussion will never end.
**[10:15] ---**
How impudent of you, Cardinal Mouldeen.
**[10:19] ---**
Remember that you're the
proxy of the Oujes Emperor.
**[10:23] ---**
What would you suggest, then,
**[10:25] ---**
Queen Xenobia of Ilm?
**[10:29] ---**
The fight over the Alsok territories
with the Seven-City Alliance,
**[10:32] ---**
and the mainstream dragon
kind Vaisen and the Kenryu.
**[10:37] ---**
Both are a headache.
**[10:39] ---**
I'm aware that you're taking action.
**[10:42] ---**
But how do we connect these
two and end them both?
**[10:46] ---**
Not all will appreciate it.
**[10:48] ---**
Assistant Administrator Guzreg of
the Joint Staff Headquarters?
**[10:52] ---**
Be careful, my cousin.
**[10:56] ---**
There are rumors that a faction
of the military is in contact
**[10:58] ---**
with the hardliners within the church.
**[11:01] ---**
They really hate us, don't they?
**[11:03] ---**
The feeling isn't necessarily mutual.
**[11:07] ---**
Your Eminence, we have a report.
**[11:10] ---**
The Great Wise One would like
to see you immediately.
**[11:14] ---**
Pardon me.
**[11:20] ---**
Hey, there, Jokanne.
**[11:22] ---**
That's an adorable outfit.
**[11:25] ---**
*I'm always adorable.*
**[11:28] ---**
*Anyway, hear me out.*
**[11:29] ---**
*Something fun just happened.*
**[11:34] ---**
To think there would be someone who
would bring *that* up at such a time...
**[11:38] ---**
Let them know that our meeting
location will be changed.
**[11:40] ---**
Changed? Where to?
**[11:43] ---**
Let's go somewhere appropriate.
**[11:46] ---**
To the far city of Eridana, where Jushiki and
the conspiracies of countless nations run wild.
**[11:55] ---**
The wrong person again.
**[12:16] ---**
*The matter of the Ninth Holy Land War over
the Holy Land Alsok territorial dispute,*
**[12:19] ---**
*with which talks are ongoing between
the Lapetodes Seven-City Alliance,*
**[12:24] ---**
*appears to be further deteriorating,
with the hardliners and moderates*
**[12:28] ---**
*of the assembly unable to find common ground.*
**[12:32] ---**
*Elder Orkentius, hardliner from the Church,*
**[12:36] ---**
*is expected to demand the deployment
of the imperial military soon.*
**[12:41] ---**
*Meanwhile, Cardinal Mouldeen,*
**[12:44] ---**
*representing the moderates,
maintains his silence.*
**[12:48] ---**
Time to get to work.
**[12:55] ---**
Hey, Horton.
**[12:56] ---**
How's it going?
**[12:58] ---**
Hey, Gayus. Long time no see.
**[13:00] ---**
Business is slow, as usual.
**[13:02] ---**
How about you?
**[13:03] ---**
I'd be having something better than
**[13:05] ---**
deep-fried pollock for breakfast
if I were doing better.
**[13:09] ---**
Ouch.
**[13:10] ---**
Our deep-fried pollock
is the best in Eridana.
**[13:13] ---**
Also...
**[13:15] ---**
You're a regular here.
You get the special service.
**[13:18] ---**
You get to hear this week's
Spicy Horton Fortune Telling.
**[13:21] ---**
No, thanks.
**[13:22] ---**
Your fortune this week...
**[13:25] ---**
Your most fortunate death
will be by hanging.
**[13:27] ---**
You will have little luck in money.
And trouble with women.
**[13:30] ---**
Also, be cosmically aware of reptiles
and clergy being mean to you.
**[13:33] ---**
None of that is believable.
**[13:37] ---**
Arzel?
**[13:39] ---**
Why are you taking pictures of me?
**[13:40] ---**
I heard you took down an Altar.
**[13:43] ---**
Wow, that's amazing.
**[13:45] ---**
A semi-Altar, to be clear.
**[13:50] ---**
Are you interviewing me?
**[13:51] ---**
You should get a better photo of me, then.
**[13:54] ---**
Of course not.
**[13:56] ---**
I just took pictures of you by reflex.
**[13:59] ---**
Besides, if I was going to write an article,
I'd use a picture of your hot partner.
**[14:02] ---**
The newspaper would sell
better that way, too.
**[14:05] ---**
Actually, there's an incident
that I'm pursuing.
**[14:08] ---**
I just came back from investigating.
**[14:11] ---**
What incident?
**[14:12] ---**
I call it the Serial Jushikiist Murders.
**[14:16] ---**
It hasn't gained much traction
in the media yet,
**[14:20] ---**
but three offensive Jushikiists
have been killed so far.
**[14:24] ---**
All three were pretty strong, but they've
all been taken out with a single blow.
**[14:29] ---**
They must be pretty good.
**[14:31] ---**
I suspect that all three murders were
committed by the same person.
**[14:35] ---**
What's creepy is that
**[14:37] ---**
the incidents are getting closer
and closer to the center of town.
**[14:42] ---**
There might be a murderer
hunting offensive Jushikiists,
**[14:44] ---**
coming closer and closer by the minute.
**[14:47] ---**
We hunt down other Jushikiists
who've committed crimes.
**[14:50] ---**
We make a lot of enemies.
**[14:54] ---**
That's for the information.
**[14:55] ---**
All right, you should be careful.
**[15:00] ---**
Want another fortune?
**[15:09] ---**
Morning.
**[15:10] ---**
Want one?
**[15:15] ---**
Sheesh, the princess is so finicky.
**[15:19] ---**
Who do you take after?
**[15:22] ---**
Gigina...
**[15:30] ---**
The usual, again?
**[15:50] ---**
* It's pretty beautiful,*
* when you're just watching.*
**[16:01] ---**
This unsavory aura of poverty... Gayus?
**[16:05] ---**
That's not something I wanted
to hear this early in the morning
**[16:07] ---**
from a god worshiper like you, Gigina.
**[16:09] ---**
The Kudu is a sacred ritual in
which one expresses their wish
**[16:12] ---**
for good fortune in battle
**[16:14] ---**
and their veneration for the
dragon to ancestors and family.
**[16:18] ---**
It's nothing like your petty god.
**[16:21] ---**
Throw out the chairs, dressers, and cabinets
**[16:24] ---**
that you've left neglected
in the office, Gigina.
**[16:27] ---**
Or at least fill them with something
or put something on top.
**[16:30] ---**
They're just taking up space.
**[16:32] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[16:34] ---**
Putting things on top of a chair
**[16:37] ---**
or inside a dresser or cabinet would
rid it of its grace and functional beauty.
**[16:45] ---**
Come down. I need to talk to you.
**[16:50] ---**
What is that?
**[16:52] ---**
315,000 yen owed to Rolca's shop.
**[16:55] ---**
850,000 yen owed to that quack
doctor's Czahn Clinic.
**[16:59] ---**
What the hell do we do with all this?
**[17:02] ---**
Ignore them.
**[17:04] ---**
We Draken people have a saying:
"No hard-working person is ever poor."
**[17:09] ---**
Just so you know, I teach at a
cram school in my spare time.
**[17:15] ---**
I try to make ends meet,
**[17:17] ---**
but how I'm going to make it through the
month is as uncertain as quantum mechanics.
**[17:23] ---**
Say, Gigina,
**[17:25] ---**
what are those ridiculously
unfamiliar gems I see in there?
**[17:31] ---**
Do you like them?
**[17:33] ---**
They're gems made specifically
for offensive Jushikiists.
**[17:36] ---**
ZAM-496 Mk. IV.
**[17:41] ---**
They're spectacular, even compared
to the previous model.
**[17:44] ---**
Oh, the receipt's right here.
**[17:51] ---**
Where are you going?
**[17:52] ---**
I don't care.
**[17:54] ---**
Wait, Gayus.
**[17:56] ---**
Go pick up the Jushiki bombs
I ordered at Rolca's shop.
**[18:01] ---**
The payment's been made to the office.
You just need to pick it up.
**[18:05] ---**
What, does he have an upset
stomach or something?
**[18:11] ---**
Here you go, the item you ordered.
**[18:16] ---**
What's up, Rolca?
**[18:18] ---**
You seem overly friendly today.
**[18:20] ---**
Don't play dumb.
**[18:21] ---**
You took down that semi-Altar
black dragon, didn't you?
**[18:24] ---**
I'm sure you've made a killing.
**[18:28] ---**
Sorry, things came up.
**[18:30] ---**
Could you wait until the end
of the month for me to pay?
**[18:33] ---**
It's starting to add up.
**[18:35] ---**
Sorry.
**[18:36] ---**
By the way, how do you know
about the black dragon?
**[18:39] ---**
Why wouldn't I?
**[18:41] ---**
You're advertising yourselves.
**[18:47] ---**
I don't know about this.
**[18:48] ---**
They were handing them out
in front of the city hall,
**[18:51] ---**
and putting them up everywhere.
**[18:53] ---**
Is Chief Sutherland trying to
mess with us or something?
**[18:56] ---**
You're getting advertised.
**[18:58] ---**
You should be thankful.
**[19:01] ---**
Say, why's the town so lively today?
**[19:04] ---**
Are you serious?
**[19:06] ---**
Tomorrow's the annual Eridana Festival.
**[19:09] ---**
Is it that time of the year already?
**[19:11] ---**
Oh, right.
**[19:18] ---**
Did you really remember?
**[19:21] ---**
O-Of course I did.
**[19:23] ---**
I stood you up last year with work,
**[19:27] ---**
so I made plans a whole month in advance.
**[19:34] ---**
I swear.
**[19:37] ---**
All right, then.
**[19:38] ---**
Now, eat up.
**[19:41] ---**
It's a traditional Alurian dish.
**[19:43] ---**
Pigeon falusi with cranberry sauce.
**[19:47] ---**
Er, Jiv... is Alurian food always like this?
**[19:56] ---**
Yum.
**[19:57] ---**
Come on, Gayus, eat it while it's hot.
**[20:00] ---**
Th-Thank you.
**[20:09] ---**
Pardon me.
**[20:11] ---**
It's you, huh?
**[20:13] ---**
So have we found guards?
**[20:15] ---**
Yes. They should do well.
**[20:21] ---**
Lyunerg Imperial University
Graduate School...
**[20:25] ---**
Too bad he dropped out.
**[20:28] ---**
Did he go to school with you, by any chance?
**[20:31] ---**
Yes, we were friends who studied together.
**[20:34] ---**
He was a top student in
the research facility.
**[20:37] ---**
He could have gone into research, then.
**[20:42] ---**
Were they the ones who took
down the black dragon?
**[20:46] ---**
Yes.
**[20:48] ---**
I see. That's excellent.
**[20:58] ---**
What the hell do you want?!
**[21:08] ---**
What's wrong?
**[21:10] ---**
Oh, nothing. I was just thinking.
**[21:13] ---**
You're always thinking, aren't you?
**[21:16] ---**
Am I?
**[21:17] ---**
Science-oriented offensive Jushikiists
tend to be argumentative.
**[21:22] ---**
That's not what I mean.
**[21:24] ---**
You're always thinking about
something that isn't here or now.
**[21:32] ---**
So you want to know what I was thinking
**[21:34] ---**
while I was looking at my girlfriend's
beautiful ass as she was making coffee.
**[21:41] ---**
Is that right, Jivenya?
**[21:43] ---**
You idiot.
**[21:44] ---**
But do you think there could
be anything better than that?
**[21:57] ---**
How unfortunate.
**[22:00] ---**
Why did this man try to harm me?
**[22:04] ---**
Alas, this is not the right man.
**[22:10] ---**
I will not forgive
**[22:12] ---**
my enemy.

**[00:06] ---**
I've returned.
**[00:08] ---**
Were you successful?
**[00:11] ---**
The clown has determined the
identity of the bishop.
**[00:14] ---**
The bishop intends on allying with
**[00:17] ---**
the Seven Stars in the
City of the Singing Princess.
**[00:20] ---**
Then, Shadow, you know what needs to be done.
**[00:26] ---**
Death to the traitor!
**[00:28] ---**
Praise the glory of God!
**[00:30] ---**
Show them our justice!
**[00:33] ---**
People, we now begin our celebration.
**[00:37] ---**
The apostates will be punished by God.
**[00:41] ---**
For the Holy Land of Alsok!
**[00:43] ---**
For the Holy Land of Alsok!
***SIGN*** The Cardinal's Celebration
**[02:20] ---**
On a scale of zero to a hundred,
how much do you love me?
**[02:26] ---**
That's an embarrassing question to answer.
**[02:29] ---**
Just tell me.
**[02:30] ---**
Oh, all right.
**[02:40] ---**
Gotcha.
**[02:42] ---**
What?
**[02:43] ---**
It's a little game to show me
how great your love is.
**[02:46] ---**
If your hand were closer to zero...
**[02:49] ---**
Say what? That's stupid.
**[02:52] ---**
And your laugh is creepy.
**[02:56] ---**
Hey!
**[02:56] ---**
What?
**[02:58] ---**
Jiv...
**[03:01] ---**
I love you, too, Jiv.
**[03:05] ---**
Hey!
**[03:06] ---**
Aren't we going to the festival today?
**[03:09] ---**
I can't hold in my passion.
**[03:13] ---**
Let's go somewhere else before the festival.
**[03:17] ---**
We can't...
**[03:27] ---**
Jeez.
**[03:31] ---**
Hello?
**[03:34] ---**
What? Who is it?
**[03:38] ---**
Why don't you find
out for yourself, Mr. Soleil?
**[03:51] ---**
You're late.
**[03:54] ---**
Shut up.
**[03:58] ---**
Just how many women do
you have in town, Gigina?
**[04:02] ---**
I don't know.
**[04:03] ---**
They just flock to me.
**[04:06] ---**
You womanizer!
**[04:07] ---**
You're going to get stabbed one day.
**[04:09] ---**
In fact, you deserve to be.
**[04:11] ---**
No, wait...
**[04:13] ---**
How do you even have Jiv's phone number?
**[04:16] ---**
We happened to meet at the library,
and she gave me her name.
**[04:21] ---**
Since I knew her name, I looked
her up in the phone book.
**[04:25] ---**
Are you sure?
**[04:27] ---**
That woman is terrifying.
**[04:30] ---**
She had the nerve to lecture
me, a Draken warrior.
**[04:35] ---**
"Please don't give Gayus any trouble.
I won't ever forgive you if you do."
**[04:41] ---**
She was unusually intense.
**[04:44] ---**
Is she a master of some form of martial arts?
**[04:46] ---**
No, she's an ordinary
half-Alurian office worker.
**[04:50] ---**
How suspicious.
**[04:54] ---**
So, your brain's so light it could fly into
the air, and you were at the library?
**[05:00] ---**
What for?
**[05:01] ---**
I borrowed a book.
**[05:04] ---**
Huh?
**[05:06] ---**
A book called *One Hundred
Ways to Train an Animal*.
**[05:10] ---**
Dunno.
**[05:12] ---**
The PR people must have
put it up on their own.
**[05:15] ---**
How unfortunate.
**[05:17] ---**
That aside, you two have a guest.
**[05:19] ---**
A top-ranking Jushiki officer
from headquarters.
**[05:23] ---**
Be sure not to offend him.
**[05:26] ---**
Long time no see, Gayus.
**[05:29] ---**
Come on, now. It's me.
**[05:31] ---**
Have you forgotten the face of your
toxic friend from your school days?
**[05:36] ---**
Helodel!
**[05:37] ---**
You've changed so much.
**[05:39] ---**
To think the Helodel I knew would be
a top-ranking officer at headquarters.
**[05:43] ---**
I assumed you'd be in the military.
**[05:47] ---**
Ah, sorry.
**[05:49] ---**
I was in the military for a while,
but I did some thinking, and...
**[05:54] ---**
So, what does a bureaucrat
from headquarters want from us,
**[06:00] ---**
all the way out here in Eridana?
**[06:02] ---**
Ah, sorry about that.
**[06:05] ---**
I can't reveal their name here,
**[06:08] ---**
but a prominent figure is
visiting Eridana at the moment.
**[06:12] ---**
I'd like to ask you two to serve as
guides and bodyguards today and tomorrow,
**[06:17] ---**
while said person is here.
**[06:23] ---**
Hello, thank you for coming.
**[06:25] ---**
By prominent figure, you meant
His Eminence Cardinal Mouldeen?
**[06:31] ---**
There's no need for the
stuffy greeting, Gayus.
**[06:35] ---**
I have no fondness for the meaningless.
**[06:38] ---**
Let's just be rational
and get down to business.
**[06:44] ---**
I understand using locals as guides.
**[06:47] ---**
But why did you need to request Offensive
Jushikiists from the outside?
**[06:53] ---**
I thought you have the unrivaled
Offensive Jushikiists,
**[06:56] ---**
the Twelve Winged Generals,
under your command.
**[07:01] ---**
You should have no use for us.
**[07:07] ---**
I can't have them come with me.
**[07:09] ---**
They would ruin my fun.
**[07:14] ---**
I order you two to be my tour guides.
**[07:19] ---**
Now, let's head to the festival.
**[07:21] ---**
Tour? Festival?
**[07:24] ---**
That means...
**[07:26] ---**
I'm sorry, Jiv.
**[07:30] ---**
The Eridana Festival celebrates the
victories of the singing princess Eridana,
**[07:35] ---**
who brought the people of this town
together and guided them to victory
**[07:40] ---**
back when it was occupied by foreigners.
**[07:43] ---**
Since then, this town has
been known as Eridana,
**[07:46] ---**
City of the Singing Princess,
and that brings us to the present.
**[07:53] ---**
Was my request on too short a notice?
**[07:56] ---**
No, not at all.
**[08:02] ---**
You really seem to be enjoying the tour.
**[08:06] ---**
Have you forgotten that you're a person
**[08:09] ---**
of great importance to the
Dragon Empire, Your Eminence?
**[08:13] ---**
That may not be the case.
**[08:16] ---**
* There's nothing to be gained,*
* either for us or for Lapetodes,*
**[08:21] ---**
* in fighting against them for*
* control over the Holy Land of Alsok.*
**[08:28] ---**
That's Genon, one of the
Twelve Winged Generals.
**[08:32] ---**
He's a master of disguise,
**[08:34] ---**
able to take on the appearance
and mannerisms of anyone.
**[08:37] ---**
So he's a double?
**[08:40] ---**
Yes. All told, there are seven
Mouldeens throughout the empire,
**[08:44] ---**
including Genon and myself.
**[08:48] ---**
Their sacrifices have saved
my life quite a few times.
**[08:53] ---**
The more insurance the better, after all.
**[08:56] ---**
It's a bit of a game.
**[08:58] ---**
A game?
**[09:03] ---**
Is that Jushiki, too?
**[09:05] ---**
Yes.
**[09:07] ---**
A first-order chemical manipulation
Jushiki called Lorei.
**[09:12] ---**
It's practically magic.
**[09:13] ---**
It's just technology,
bound by the laws of physics.
**[09:17] ---**
You're quite the pessimist, aren't you?
**[09:20] ---**
I'm just pessimistically optimistic.
**[09:24] ---**
I see.
**[09:26] ---**
So long as there are children
who can smile innocently
**[09:30] ---**
as they happily eat sweets,
I have a positive opinion of this world.
**[09:35] ---**
To that end, I have deceived,
betrayed, and spilled blood.
**[09:41] ---**
And I'll likely continue to do so.
**[09:44] ---**
If that isn't enough,
I'll resort to higher reason.
**[09:47] ---**
And if that isn't enough,
higher reason still.
**[09:51] ---**
Why don't we have lunch?
**[09:54] ---**
Now...
**[09:57] ---**
I know, let's have Urk cuisine.
**[10:00] ---**
It's my favorite.
**[10:03] ---**
Your Eminence! We can't have you making
sudden changes to your itinerary.
**[10:07] ---**
What are you waiting for? Let's go.
**[10:11] ---**
Say no to the Lapetodes City Alliance's
ratification of the Tienlun Accord!
**[10:17] ---**
Say no!
**[10:21] ---**
It's quite unpopular, isn't it?
**[10:23] ---**
The Tienlun Accord is an agreement
between dragonkind's moderates,
**[10:27] ---**
the Vaisen, and the human nations.
**[10:31] ---**
It exists to avoid unnecessary
conflict between the two.
**[10:34] ---**
Yes. The accord, in fact, legally allows
**[10:37] ---**
hardline dragonkind to be eliminated
should they encroach on our territory
**[10:42] ---**
past the buffer zone.
**[10:44] ---**
Speaking of which, it was you two
who defeated the black dragon
**[10:49] ---**
that entered the buffer zone, was it not?
**[10:51] ---**
Yes.
**[10:52] ---**
It comes with some sacrifices,
but it's certain that the accord
**[10:56] ---**
is what's staving off all-out war
between humanity and dragons.
**[11:01] ---**
Do you think they're foolish?
**[11:04] ---**
Well...
**[11:08] ---**
If you're one of the people who's lost
your family and loved ones to the dragons,
**[11:13] ---**
the accord must come across
as an unforgivable compromise.
**[11:17] ---**
Even so, it's irrational to try to move
society based on an individual perspective.
**[11:25] ---**
Your Eminence...
**[11:27] ---**
Let's walk.
**[11:28] ---**
It'll be faster.
**[11:35] ---**
Come on, you slaves of authority,
**[11:37] ---**
give me something that'll
look better on the newspaper!
**[11:43] ---**
Helodel, is the security at the hotel ready?
**[11:45] ---**
It's all set.
**[11:47] ---**
Not to worry.
**[11:48] ---**
Then once we arrive there,
I'll have you leave until the morning.
**[11:54] ---**
But Your Eminence...
**[11:56] ---**
I'm here as a tourist.
**[11:59] ---**
Let's enjoy ourselves tonight.
**[12:01] ---**
But...
**[12:03] ---**
This is an order.
**[12:06] ---**
I'm a great superior, am I not?
**[12:26] ---**
Say, where's Gigina?
**[12:28] ---**
Did I make him uncomfortable?
**[12:30] ---**
Don't talk to me about him.
**[12:32] ---**
You're going to ruin my drink.
**[12:35] ---**
He's probably at the furniture shop
that he spotted earlier in the day.
**[12:40] ---**
Gigina is a 13th grade Offensive Jushikiist,
**[12:45] ---**
an Enlightened, is he not?
**[12:47] ---**
He must be a dependable partner.
**[12:49] ---**
He's a sword dancer who prefers power
types even against biological types.
**[12:54] ---**
Even his brain is made of muscle.
**[12:57] ---**
I'm a chemical manipulation type.
**[12:59] ---**
We're oil and water.
**[13:02] ---**
Still, it's amazing that
you're working together.
**[13:06] ---**
You're already a 12th grade at
your young age, too, aren't you?
**[13:10] ---**
Yeah. I was fortunate enough
to have a great master.
**[13:14] ---**
And I don't mean Gigina.
**[13:16] ---**
I know.
**[13:18] ---**
Oh, by the way, do you remember that Jushiki?
**[13:22] ---**
How could I forget?
**[13:23] ---**
It's one of the most infamous pranks
we pulled when we were in school.
**[13:28] ---**
I bet you could pull it off now.
**[13:32] ---**
Nope.
**[13:33] ---**
It's against the law, and it's dangerous.
**[13:37] ---**
So you've tried it, haven't you?
**[13:42] ---**
Enough about that.
**[13:43] ---**
You've really made it up the
ladder, too, haven't you?
**[13:46] ---**
A headquarters bureaucrat.
**[13:47] ---**
His Eminence Mouldeen's secretary, no less.
**[13:51] ---**
I'm just a babysitter.
**[13:54] ---**
Honestly, I'm a little surprised.
**[14:00] ---**
About Shifaka?
**[14:03] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:10] ---**
Have you gotten over it yet?
**[14:13] ---**
I used to think that being in the military
**[14:15] ---**
and avenging her was the right thing to do.
**[14:19] ---**
But I'm different now.
**[14:23] ---**
Revenge won't save anyone.
**[14:26] ---**
That man is truly great.
**[14:29] ---**
I believe in the path of coexistence
that His Eminence strives for.
**[14:35] ---**
What about you? Have you gotten over
what happened to your sister, Aleciel?
**[14:42] ---**
We shouldn't have asked
each other about this.
**[14:55] ---**
You're finally here.
**[14:58] ---**
Well? Has the messenger arrived
from the Seven Stars?
**[15:02] ---**
Everything is going according to plan.
**[15:04] ---**
Excellent.
**[15:07] ---**
What about the traitors who stole our things?
**[15:12] ---**
They seem to be wandering
in search of a sacrifice.
**[15:15] ---**
They've caused some incidents because
they aren't in their homeland,
**[15:20] ---**
but I've sent a signal.
**[15:21] ---**
They'll find a target soon enough.
**[15:25] ---**
The performance will be a success.
**[15:28] ---**
God and that man will guide us.
**[15:31] ---**
Then we must do our part.
**[15:34] ---**
Yes.
**[15:40] ---**
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories
**[15:42] ---**
and acetaminophen are the two antipyretics.
**[15:47] ---**
The latter has fewer side effects.
**[15:52] ---**
Helodel?
**[15:53] ---**
Are you taking a piss?
**[15:55] ---**
You ought not be drunk on the job.
**[16:00] ---**
"One cannot swing their
blade with a tipped glass."
**[16:03] ---**
Have you forgotten the Draken
people's precious teachings?
**[16:06] ---**
Be gone, demon!
**[16:08] ---**
Pew, pew, pew!
**[16:10] ---**
Poisoning psychokinesis!
**[16:12] ---**
Don't you dare break without my permission.
**[16:15] ---**
We're leaving.
**[16:19] ---**
Long time long see no see, Gigina.
**[16:25] ---**
Thank you.
**[16:29] ---**
Sir, I can say as a connoisseur that
the tables in this establishment are splendid.
**[16:35] ---**
The chairs also have a gentle character,
as well as bewitching legs.
**[16:39] ---**
Take good care of them.
**[16:41] ---**
Yeah, sure.
**[16:44] ---**
But overworking them isn't good.
**[16:46] ---**
Each one must have her time off from
her services and given an opportunity
**[16:50] ---**
to see the mountains and beaches.
**[16:53] ---**
Right...
**[16:56] ---**
Gigina, you dummy!
**[16:58] ---**
You military freak!
**[17:00] ---**
You always spend more money than we earn!
**[17:03] ---**
We're barely getting by, you know that?
**[17:05] ---**
What am I, a housewife?
**[17:07] ---**
I could have been living a simpler
life if you hadn't picked me up.
**[17:14] ---**
I'd be an assistant or researcher
or something at the academy,
**[17:17] ---**
with a cute wife and kids.
**[17:20] ---**
The academic path was already closed
to you when you met me, was it not?
**[17:26] ---**
You also aren't much of a family man.
**[17:31] ---**
Was it?
**[17:33] ---**
Let's continue.
**[17:35] ---**
You and I are partners. We inherited
Diorg's will and office together.
**[17:40] ---**
This is a good time to come clean.
**[17:43] ---**
If you have a problem with me, say it.
**[17:45] ---**
Gigina, you bought more ridiculously
expensive furniture again, didn't you?
**[17:52] ---**
The book that I got from the library,
**[17:54] ---**
*One Hundred Ways to Train an Animal*,
**[17:57] ---**
said that it's good to talk to
an animal once in a while.
**[18:02] ---**
Believe it or not, I'm doing this
for the sake for your mental health.
**[18:05] ---**
I hate you.
**[18:09] ---**
We'll get along swimmingly, then.
**[18:11] ---**
I absolutely loathe you as well.
**[18:19] ---**
Have I made another mistake?
**[18:23] ---**
You humans are hard to tell apart.
**[18:33] ---**
Are you the ones who killed my beloved?
**[18:38] ---**
You can't be...!
**[18:40] ---**
I've finally found you!
**[18:44] ---**
Gigina, she's the rumored...
**[18:46] ---**
Jushikiist killer.
**[18:48] ---**
And to think that it was us she was after...
**[18:50] ---**
I like it!
**[19:05] ---**
She's a gravity Jushikiist.
**[19:09] ---**
This blade, the wavelength of this curse...
**[19:14] ---**
There's no doubt that
you're my beloved's killers.
**[19:21] ---**
I am Nidvork of Urz.
**[19:25] ---**
I came here to avenge
my beloved, Eningiluud.
**[19:36] ---**
I don't know who the hell
you're talking about!
**[19:39] ---**
"Who the hell"? You killed him
without even knowing who he was?!
**[20:12] ---**
Fifth-order gravity Jushiki,
**[20:15] ---**
Behemo.
**[20:17] ---**
Gravity passes through all kinds of barriers.
**[20:20] ---**
There are no effective
ways to defend against it.
**[20:23] ---**
Then...
**[20:40] ---**
Third-order chemical manipulation
Jushiki, Forkalor.
**[20:44] ---**
I may not be able
to cut your skin with a blade,
**[20:46] ---**
but you won't withstand strong acid!
**[20:48] ---**
How dare you...
**[20:50] ---**
How dare you use such a curse?!
**[20:53] ---**
How much...
**[20:58] ---**
must you insult me?!
**[21:21] ---**
That woman... She called
herself Nidvork or something.
**[21:24] ---**
Who the hell is she?
**[21:26] ---**
And who is she avenging?
**[21:27] ---**
I don't know.
**[21:29] ---**
We have plenty of reasons to be despised.
**[21:31] ---**
I know, but...
**[21:37] ---**
What's that?
**[21:42] ---**
Please stay back.
**[22:03] ---**
I'll have their heads someday.
**[22:06] ---**
For now, I'll at least come to you.
**[23:50] ---**
There are two truths that are absolute.
**[23:54] ---**
One is that all people someday die.
**[23:58] ---**
The other is that all
truths have exceptions.

**[00:15] ---**
Yo, hurry up and help.
**[00:17] ---**
I'm going to have you pay for
the inconvenience of having you
**[00:20] ---**
show up in the middle of the
night, as well as for your stay.
**[00:23] ---**
Making money first thing in the morning?
**[00:27] ---**
You still smell like the sewers.
**[00:36] ---**
*Get your ass over here, Soleil, you lowlife.*
**[00:40] ---**
The number you have called is...
**[00:42] ---**
* Our community safety division's*
* evidence storage was raided.*
**[00:46] ---**
* They took documents on fire dragons'*
* and black dragons' heads.*
**[00:50] ---**
I see.
**[00:51] ---**
* Since the evidence is now missing,*
* I'm reducing your reward.*
**[00:53] ---**
*I spilled milk on my shirt this morning,*
**[00:55] ---**
* and my daughter ran away*
* from home and I broke a plate,*
**[00:57] ---**
*so I'm charging you for that, too.*
**[01:00] ---**
What kind of bullshit is that?
**[01:02] ---**
Sounds rough.
**[01:04] ---**
I guess.
**[01:05] ---**
That aside, do you know what this is?
**[01:08] ---**
What's this?
**[01:10] ---**
A shred of clothing from the witch
we encountered last night.
**[01:12] ---**
I've never seen such material.
**[01:15] ---**
A specialist Jushikiist might know.
**[01:19] ---**
Please.
**[01:20] ---**
Make it quick if you can.
**[01:21] ---**
Of course.
**[01:22] ---**
I love actual Jushiki shop work.
**[01:25] ---**
This is a nice gem.
**[01:28] ---**
Of course. It was made by
the great gem craftsman,
**[01:32] ---**
Fleggun of late-age Damascus.
**[01:35] ---**
Its computational ability is enhanced
with specialized equations,
**[01:37] ---**
and the various Jushiki-disabling abilities
that result are great for the front line.
**[01:42] ---**
I see.
**[01:43] ---**
Yo, wait.
**[01:44] ---**
You're supposed to check with the accountant
first. That's the way the world works.
**[01:50] ---**
We're perpetually broke.
**[01:52] ---**
Why would we *ever* buy Jushiki
gear that's worth an entire house?
**[01:56] ---**
Mine was getting old.
**[01:59] ---**
*Was*?
**[02:00] ---**
I've already signed a
monthly installment contract.
**[02:03] ---**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** Weaver of Light
**[03:49] ---**
Coming!
**[03:51] ---**
You really do smell like the sewers.
**[03:53] ---**
Better than perfume, isn't it?
**[03:55] ---**
I wouldn't let such a cheater into my home.
**[03:58] ---**
You actually jumped into a sewer?
**[04:01] ---**
We had our reasons.
**[04:03] ---**
All right, get undressed.
**[04:04] ---**
The bath is ready.
**[04:06] ---**
I'll take my pants off by myself.
**[04:08] ---**
Oh, come on.
**[04:11] ---**
Miss Jivvy...
**[04:13] ---**
I really want to do you right now.
**[04:15] ---**
Not happening.
**[04:16] ---**
You have work this afternoon.
**[04:18] ---**
It's fine.
**[04:20] ---**
No.
**[04:22] ---**
I understand your job is dangerous,
**[04:26] ---**
so I can't let it get any more dangerous.
**[04:30] ---**
Honestly, your work...
**[04:33] ---**
Sorry I couldn't go to the Eridana
Festival with you because of urgent work.
**[04:37] ---**
It's okay.
**[04:39] ---**
Never mind that, Gayus...
**[04:41] ---**
You still smell like the sewers.
**[04:48] ---**
* We have an update on the*
* Serial Jushikiist Murders.*
**[04:52] ---**
*Today, on Wella Street in Eridana City,*
**[04:55] ---**
* Jushiki engineer Lolorf Iscafendler*
* was attacked with offensive Jushiki.*
**[05:00] ---**
*The suspect is still on the loose.*
**[05:07] ---**
*Gayus?*
**[05:08] ---**
Hey, Vinnel.
**[05:09] ---**
*What do you want to know today?*
**[05:11] ---**
Find out about a woman named
Nidvork or something like that.
**[05:16] ---**
Black hair, green eyes.
**[05:18] ---**
A beautiful woman, either Alurian
or from the eastern Seg region.
**[05:21] ---**
She uses gravity Jushiki at an
Enlightened or higher level.
**[05:27] ---**
Her husband is named Eningiluud.
**[05:30] ---**
*That's plenty of information to...*
**[05:34] ---**
*Hmm, she's not coming up.*
**[05:35] ---**
I tried looking her up, too,
but there are no records.
**[05:38] ---**
*A lot of people, even in the Jushikiist Guild,*
**[05:41] ---**
*don't publicize their personal information.*
**[05:44] ---**
* We may have to hack into the guild or the*
* government's data stores to find anything.*
**[05:49] ---**
That's why I'm asking you, information broker.
**[05:52] ---**
*All right. I'll give it a try.*
**[06:03] ---**
Hey.
**[06:04] ---**
Oh, Gayus.
**[06:06] ---**
Deep-fried pollock and
deep-fried bread. Ten each.
**[06:08] ---**
And some of today's specials.
**[06:10] ---**
That's quite an order.
**[06:13] ---**
It's all for Gigina.
**[06:15] ---**
Front line Jushikiists eat like horses.
**[06:19] ---**
Oh yeah, Arzel, you made
a huge splash yesterday.
**[06:22] ---**
You saw?
**[06:24] ---**
From a distance.
**[06:26] ---**
Look, they used my photos and article.
**[06:30] ---**
Although it's under my boss's name.
**[06:33] ---**
"Tienlun Accord Resistance Movement.
**[06:36] ---**
Participants insist that dragons
and humans can never reconcile."
**[06:41] ---**
Read the whole thing.
**[06:43] ---**
I wrote about how the pro-accord
people believe it's the accord
**[06:48] ---**
that keeps an all-out war from happening.
**[06:51] ---**
Are you in favor of the Seven-City
Alliance ratifying the Tienlun Accord?
**[06:56] ---**
In principle.
**[06:58] ---**
But I know how the critics feel, too.
**[07:01] ---**
A lot of people have lost their families
and loved ones to the dragons.
**[07:06] ---**
That aside, do you know anything
about the Serial Jushikiist Murders?
**[07:11] ---**
Nope.
**[07:12] ---**
You might be a target, too, you know.
**[07:15] ---**
It's my time to shine, then.
**[07:17] ---**
Ta-dah!
**[07:18] ---**
It's time for today's exciting
Horton Fortune Telling.
**[07:21] ---**
It's time for you to end it. End it *all*.
**[07:25] ---**
Bam!
**[07:26] ---**
Watch out for cars, glasses!
**[07:34] ---**
I just took some pictures by reflex,
**[07:36] ---**
but this isn't going to
make for a good article.
**[07:46] ---**
You have no trouble riding bikes,
**[07:50] ---**
but you're terrible with cars, Gigina.
**[07:52] ---**
Bikes are like horses.
**[07:54] ---**
But cars make no sense.
**[07:56] ---**
They're the vehicle of demons.
**[07:57] ---**
Hurry up and get used
to civilization already.
**[08:00] ---**
Let's get this over with.
**[08:02] ---**
It's the last day of our
pain-in-the-ass bodyguard duty.
**[08:26] ---**
Thanks for coming so early in the morning.
**[08:29] ---**
Or were we just late?
**[08:31] ---**
To think that Your Eminence would be
thirty minutes late for an arrangement...
**[08:36] ---**
Have you not heard
**[08:38] ---**
the Draken saying, "One cannot
swing their blade without their head"?
**[08:42] ---**
I'm stealing Gigina's line here,
but it seems to be spot on.
**[08:47] ---**
I'd like to imitate you, too, but I'm
going to have to restrain myself,
**[08:50] ---**
seeing as this dog shit has put on
a great performance on the streets.
**[08:55] ---**
That's some big talk for a Draken.
**[08:57] ---**
You even have a picture diary.
**[08:59] ---**
And I know you use "boku" for
your first-person pronoun.
**[09:02] ---**
You!
**[09:03] ---**
How did you unlock the office cabinet?
**[09:06] ---**
It's not hard to open with the technique
that our old bounty taught us before.
**[09:11] ---**
Well, I know that you said you choose
your lewd image storage devices
**[09:15] ---**
more carefully than you'd choose your wife.
**[09:20] ---**
How did you hear that?!
**[09:22] ---**
I was doing repairs inside the dresser
when I heard you muttering to yourself.
**[09:26] ---**
You furniture freak!
**[09:28] ---**
Go get swallowed by a man-eating chair!
**[09:31] ---**
I might want a chair like that.
**[09:34] ---**
Jeez...
**[09:36] ---**
This is some excellent
early morning entertainment.
**[09:39] ---**
Watching you two might even
be more fun than sightseeing.
**[09:44] ---**
Gayus Levina Soleil and Gigina
Jardi Doruk Meleios Ashley-Bufh.
**[09:49] ---**
We're just guards. I'm surprised
you remembered our names.
**[09:53] ---**
Remembering names is the least I can do
for the people I become involved with.
**[10:01] ---**
So, where does His Eminence
the Cardinal wish to see today?
**[10:07] ---**
Right, I've made plans to have tea with a
guest from afar first thing today.
**[10:12] ---**
I expect it'll be quite
a stimulating tea party.
**[10:33] ---**
Do you not believe in God?
**[10:37] ---**
I can't really say,
**[10:39] ---**
but seeing the state of the world,
I don't want to believe He physically exists.
**[10:45] ---**
I won't tell you that those are
blasphemous words to utter
**[10:49] ---**
in front of the guardian of the religion.
**[10:54] ---**
Helodel's fiancée, Shifaka, died
**[10:56] ---**
because of a silly dispute between the
Dragon Empire and the Seven-City Alliance.
**[11:00] ---**
If gods do exist,
**[11:03] ---**
why do they allow people to be killed
by wars, disease, or accidents?
**[11:08] ---**
Why did my sister, Aleciel, have to die?
**[11:12] ---**
Is it wrong to ask for the reason?
**[11:17] ---**
Very well.
**[11:19] ---**
God either does not exist or is merciless.
**[11:25] ---**
But how could we live without deception?
**[11:28] ---**
The dead do not come back to life.
**[11:30] ---**
Miracles don't exist.
**[11:33] ---**
Our world has no real purpose or meaning.
**[11:36] ---**
That's why people have no
option but to close their eyes
**[11:40] ---**
and pretend in order to keep living.
**[11:43] ---**
You ought to be careful about
searching too hard for reasons.
**[11:46] ---**
You, well... All Jushikiists are
attempting to understand this world.
**[11:51] ---**
But *that* is arrogance.
**[11:54] ---**
We can't touch the world directly.
**[11:57] ---**
What are you...
**[12:00] ---**
That's my answer.
**[12:03] ---**
You'll have to come up with your own.
**[12:06] ---**
And pose a question.
**[12:09] ---**
To face a question without an answer
**[12:11] ---**
is the only way we humans can fight reality.
**[12:16] ---**
And of the many paths a human can take,
**[12:19] ---**
it is the most sincere and most venerable.
**[12:23] ---**
Are we done with the word games?
**[12:28] ---**
Appearances aside,
you two get along quite well.
**[12:32] ---**
The only reason I work with him
**[12:35] ---**
is because if you ignore the fact that he's stupid,
obsessed with fighting and furniture,
**[12:38] ---**
and has no sense of personal
financial responsibility,
**[12:41] ---**
he's a good partner.
**[12:43] ---**
You two are complementary.
**[12:45] ---**
Your inability to accept
things for what they are
**[12:49] ---**
must be your limit.
**[12:54] ---**
The guest has arrived.
**[13:05] ---**
Your Eminence, I look forward
to our meeting today.
**[13:08] ---**
Likewise.
**[13:09] ---**
Now, right this way.
**[13:46] ---**
I *really* don't want to hear,
but what's your idea of a good chair?
**[13:51] ---**
What else?
**[13:53] ---**
It has to ooze the quintessence
of a chair. Noble, beautiful...
**[13:58] ---**
Perhaps the pews here
are of a good lineage.
**[14:00] ---**
They're pious and have regal expressions.
**[14:04] ---**
Anyway, Gayus, have you noticed?
**[14:07] ---**
The guest is Representative Azu Bita
of the Lapetodes Seven-City Alliance.
**[14:12] ---**
I know.
**[14:13] ---**
Representative Azu Bita is one of
**[14:15] ---**
the right-hand men of the Seven-City
Alliance House's Supreme Chairman Kai Kuyou,
**[14:19] ---**
and the executive of the
Democratic Liberal Party.
**[14:21] ---**
Why didn't you speak up, if you knew?
**[14:23] ---**
"Don't go near danger."
**[14:25] ---**
"Pretend you didn't see anything."
**[14:27] ---**
That was my dad's...
**[14:30] ---**
Gigina!
**[14:59] ---**
Those guys...
**[15:08] ---**
Gigina!
**[15:09] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:34] ---**
Run!
**[15:39] ---**
I'll take it from here.
**[15:40] ---**
That'd be great.
**[15:42] ---**
What just happened?
**[15:43] ---**
We've got the opposite
of allies on our hands!
**[15:50] ---**
All the other guards are dead.
**[15:52] ---**
Prepare for evacuation.
**[15:54] ---**
How are we supposed to get out of here?
**[15:56] ---**
It's insane that a church that deals with
royalty doesn't have escape routes.
**[16:02] ---**
We've taken care of a few assassins,
but there must be more enemies.
**[16:06] ---**
If Gigina and I can stop them, we will.
**[16:08] ---**
If not, we can at least buy time.
**[16:10] ---**
Our lives are expendable.
**[16:14] ---**
But if you were to die,
**[16:16] ---**
there would be a war between the
Dragon Empire and the Seven-City Alliance.
**[16:20] ---**
If that were to happen, we'd see
that same tragedy happen again.
**[16:23] ---**
I suspect you're right.
**[16:25] ---**
And I'd like to show my respect to
those who speak on their own lives
**[16:28] ---**
more than to those who speak
on the lives of others.
**[16:33] ---**
There's something I want
more than respect or medals.
**[16:37] ---**
If I make it out of here alive,
I would consider no reward too great.
**[16:42] ---**
Then the truth, please.
**[16:45] ---**
As much as you'd like.
**[16:53] ---**
They're coming.
**[16:59] ---**
Relish now the banquet of battle!
**[17:05] ---**
The blades of two lives meet, sending sparks.
**[17:09] ---**
Just for that moment,
the world and I pulsate.
**[17:14] ---**
Now, show me your lives and your limits!
**[17:44] ---**
That about does it.
**[17:59] ---**
I'm impressed that an assassin exists
**[18:02] ---**
who can fight squarely
against a Draken warrior.
**[18:05] ---**
Leave me with your name before you die.
**[18:08] ---**
I can't do that, but I can tell you that I'm
just a ninja who takes care of the Kouga clan.
**[18:17] ---**
What the hell is that?
**[18:19] ---**
Third-order chemical alchemy Jushiki.
**[18:22] ---**
Chilliat.
**[18:24] ---**
She generates hundreds of millions of
monomolecular needles, hurling them at her enemy.
**[18:29] ---**
She can pierce through just about anything.
**[18:31] ---**
I can see that.
**[19:04] ---**
The Kouga always finish their mission!
**[19:09] ---**
Gigina!
**[19:42] ---**
Aleciel! Aleciel!
**[20:18] ---**
*If only I'd died, too...*
**[20:21] ---**
*This is how it's supposed to be.*
**[20:26] ---**
Please, no!
**[20:27] ---**
Please, no!
**[20:47] ---**
Hello.
**[20:50] ---**
H-Hello.
**[20:53] ---**
Is this a hospital?
**[20:56] ---**
Yes.
**[20:57] ---**
This is Eridana Private Hospital.
**[21:01] ---**
This is like a foreign language
textbook conversation.
**[21:11] ---**
Gayus came back to life!
**[21:14] ---**
That hurts...
**[21:15] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[21:17] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[21:39] ---**
It seems that such a powerful spell
is difficult to endure, even for me.
**[21:50] ---**
Am I mistaken, feline?
**[22:01] ---**
You don't fear me, do you?
**[22:08] ---**
My dear, I will avenge you with these hands.
**[23:50] ---**
There are things far more terrifying
than artful, ferocious malice.
**[23:56] ---**
Nothing is more problematic than benevolence
that is sincere to the point of foolishness.
**[24:00] ---**
Nobody can stop a disaster
caused by good will.

Your heart stopped momentarily.
**[00:08] ---**
Your brain waves were also undetectable.
**[00:11] ---**
I'm sorry, I'll try again.
**[00:15] ---**
Are you new?
**[00:16] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[00:17] ---**
My name's Nojé.
**[00:19] ---**
You were in a comatose state that
might as well have been called death,
**[00:23] ---**
and you awoke perfectly healthy...
**[00:25] ---**
I don't know what to call it
other than a miracle.
**[00:28] ---**
A miracle, huh?
**[00:30] ---**
Do you think miracles happen in love?
**[00:34] ---**
You appear fine, Mr. Soleil,

**[00:42] ---**
So that's the end of my vacation, huh?
**[00:44] ---**
* I feel like the black claw brought*

**[00:50] ---**
You're an Offensive Jushikiist,

**[00:54] ---**
Yeah, why?
**[00:56] ---**
There's something I need some help with.
**[00:59] ---**
Sure.
**[01:00] ---**
I'm always up for more work.
**[01:02] ---**
Could you give me your contact information?

*Elder Orkentius has been summoned

*the attempted assassination of Cardinal
Mouldeen and Representative Azu Bita.*

And now the moderates are in control.
**[03:09] ---**
Hopefully it's that easy.
**[03:12] ---**
His Eminence Cardinal Mouldeen.
**[03:17] ---**
Gayus!
**[03:18] ---**
I'm so glad you came back to life.
**[03:22] ---**
That's for getting me mixed
up in this craziness.
**[03:26] ---**
You'd better make it up to me sometime.
**[03:29] ---**
You seem well.
**[03:31] ---**
Helodel, I'd like to speak
privately with Gayus.
**[03:35] ---**
Could you bring the car to the parking lot?
**[03:38] ---**
Right away.
**[03:41] ---**
Nice to meet you,
Your Eminence Cardinal Mouldeen,
**[03:45] ---**
progeny of the royal dragon family.
**[03:48] ---**
That's an odd greeting.
**[03:50] ---**
This is the first time
I've met you, after all.
**[03:54] ---**
The one I was escorting was Genon Kal Darius
**[03:57] ---**
of the Twelve Winged Generals,
infamous master of disguise.
**[04:01] ---**
Correct.
**[04:03] ---**
But when did you realize that?
**[04:07] ---**
I don't have definitive proof,
**[04:10] ---**
but I became suspicious when
"you" said that "you" like Urk cuisine.
**[04:15] ---**
You and Genon are both
right-handed, aren't you?
**[04:18] ---**
When a right-handed person
recalls a familiar location,
**[04:22] ---**
their eyes move to the upper left.
**[04:24] ---**
And when they recall something
to do with voice or sound,
**[04:27] ---**
it's said they move their
eyes to the bottom left.
**[04:30] ---**
When Your Eminence said "you" liked
Urk cuisine, "you" looked down and to the left.
**[04:35] ---**
He must have been recalling
someone telling him what to say.
**[04:41] ---**
So what evidence do you have that who
you're speaking to is the real Mouldeen?
**[04:46] ---**
Genon promised to tell me the truth.
**[04:50] ---**
It wouldn't make sense if someone
who promises to speak the truth
**[04:53] ---**
is supposedly the words of another.
**[04:56] ---**
I haven't gotten to the
core of my argument yet.
**[04:58] ---**
Your Eminence Mouldeen, why did you
try to have yourself assassinated?
**[05:06] ---**
How insightful.
**[05:10] ---**
You're cautious enough to have seven doubles,
**[05:13] ---**
yet the enemy had taken
notice of your movements.
**[05:16] ---**
There must be a traitor.
**[05:18] ---**
You personally leaked the information,
**[05:22] ---**
and had them target a well-defended meeting.
**[05:25] ---**
Too bad.
**[05:27] ---**
You're close, but not quite correct.
**[05:30] ---**
Helodel is the traitor.
**[05:38] ---**
The flowers and fruit that Helodel
got for you must have just exploded.
**[05:43] ---**
It can't be...
**[05:45] ---**
Helodel dies, and Helodel is a traitor?!
**[05:50] ---**
The truth is always boring and mundane.
**[05:55] ---**
I have no interest in eating fruits that
contain high-performance explosives.
**[06:01] ---**
Why?
**[06:03] ---**
Helodel had no reason to betray you... Or me.
**[06:08] ---**
Yes.
**[06:09] ---**
Helodel couldn't let go of
the death of his fiancée.
**[06:13] ---**
By the time he joined the military,
he was already a dog of the hardliners.
**[06:20] ---**
You didn't have to kill him.
**[06:22] ---**
You ought to have brought him to justice.
**[06:25] ---**
You mustn't look away from reality.
**[06:28] ---**
I just saved your life.
**[06:32] ---**
Also, Helodel isn't the only
one who was manipulated.
**[06:36] ---**
It makes sense...
**[06:37] ---**
The assassins were your doing, too.
**[06:40] ---**
Exactly.
**[06:41] ---**
Those ninjas serve me, too.
**[06:44] ---**
I had one of the Twelve Winged
Generals, Curaçao Opte Kouga,
**[06:49] ---**
pass herself off as one of the hardliners.
**[06:52] ---**
The assassination attempt was
planned from start to finish
**[06:56] ---**
and made to fail safely.
**[06:59] ---**
The meeting itself was real, I can assure you.
**[07:02] ---**
And responsibility for the deaths
of the ninjas and guards falls on me.
**[07:06] ---**
I recognize it was an unforgivable act,
even if it was ultimately to save lives.
**[07:12] ---**
This is war.
**[07:14] ---**
The war before the war.
**[07:16] ---**
A war to prevent a war.
**[07:20] ---**
I would never shy away from such a fight.
**[07:24] ---**
A war to prevent a war...
**[07:27] ---**
The meeting was in regard
to the Holy Land of Alsok...
**[07:29] ---**
About the Ninth Holy Land War?
**[07:31] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:32] ---**
It's a long-standing conflict between the
Dragon Empire and the Seven-City Alliance.
**[07:37] ---**
I'll ask for the Alliance's
occupational forces
**[07:38] ---**
to retreat to the Daef Front
of the Holy Land.
**[07:41] ---**
That would only benefit the Dragon Empire.
**[07:45] ---**
What's in it for you?
**[07:46] ---**
Why did you bother using us?
**[07:49] ---**
One purpose was to make the traitor, Helodel,
**[07:52] ---**
believe that his scheme was
progressing according to plan.
**[07:57] ---**
Another was to make the incident more
believable by involving an outsider.
**[08:02] ---**
Thirdly, you're neither foolish nor heroic
enough to stand up to the Empire.
**[08:07] ---**
And lastly, the price that the Empire
will pay to the Alliance...
**[08:12] ---**
is something you'll get to find out later.
**[08:16] ---**
Your Eminence... You're...
**[08:19] ---**
I like to believe that I have
not just the Tsevellen Empire,
**[08:22] ---**
and not just the continent,
but the entire planet in my sight.
**[08:26] ---**
I believe you're a hero.
**[08:29] ---**
But...
**[08:36] ---**
You and I think somewhat alike,
but somewhat differently.
**[08:41] ---**
I feel something akin to affection for you.
**[08:43] ---**
That may be why I chose you as an observer.
**[08:55] ---**
Say, when will I get to try
your home cooking, Curaçao?
**[08:59] ---**
It should be ready.
**[09:01] ---**
I've brought the entire barrel for you.
**[09:06] ---**
That dunce turned a blind eye
to your plan despite having a hunch.
**[09:12] ---**
He isn't as intelligent as he thinks he is.
**[09:15] ---**
He simply wanted to believe in the conviction
that you conveyed through your decoy,
**[09:19] ---**
that you approve of the smiles of children
as they enjoy festivals and sweets.
**[09:24] ---**
I appreciate his kindness.
**[09:26] ---**
That doesn't even begin
to pay for our services.
**[09:29] ---**
My gut tells me that you're a danger.
**[09:31] ---**
I'll have half of your head.
**[09:38] ---**
A high-order Jushiki disruption barrier...
**[09:41] ---**
This is terrifying,
**[09:43] ---**
even knowing I'm protected by
Jushiki master Jokanne's barrier.
**[09:48] ---**
Two people have now noticed
that I'm dangerous.
**[09:50] ---**
But you were the one who took action.
**[09:55] ---**
It's easy to deceive those
who do nothing but think,
**[09:58] ---**
but it's difficult to deal with those
who take action based on instinct.
**[10:01] ---**
You and Gayus both place your lives on
a scale to test your effectiveness.
**[10:09] ---**
Take your silly word games either
somewhere else or straight to hell.
**[10:15] ---**
Now, then, the rambunctious
ones should be here soon.
**[10:25] ---**
Took us forever to get here.
**[10:27] ---**
Right, Brother?
**[10:33] ---**
Okay, I'll see you up ahead.
**[10:41] ---**
What's the point of saying
"bye" from inside the wall?
**[10:52] ---**
I was so worried, you know.
**[10:55] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[10:57] ---**
You keep getting yourself almost killed.
**[11:00] ---**
Making me run to the hospital...
**[11:03] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[11:05] ---**
I'm not really such a dumb girl.
**[11:09] ---**
I was planning on welcoming you home warmly,
**[11:12] ---**
like a real woman.
**[11:19] ---**
From now on, when you're headed off to battle,
**[11:23] ---**
tell me gently.
**[11:27] ---**
That way, I can spare myself half the tears
**[11:31] ---**
when I'm confronted with your corpse.
**[11:34] ---**
Got it?
**[11:35] ---**
Promise me.
**[11:40] ---**
That's starting to seem like a really
embarrassing thing to have said.
**[11:43] ---**
Drink until you don't remember
a word of it, Gayus.
**[11:48] ---**
Fine, fine.
**[12:02] ---**
Things have changed a lot in
Eridana while you were asleep.
**[12:06] ---**
Yeah. I got the gist of it.
**[12:13] ---**
"No Agreement Reached on the Tienlun Accord"?
**[12:16] ---**
"The dragons failed to even show up at
the meeting proposed by the Alliance.
**[12:21] ---**
Senator Yah Wen, who proposed the summit,
**[12:24] ---**
takes a large hit to his reputation."
**[12:28] ---**
Wait, Senator Yah Wen is
Representative Azu Bita's political opponent.
**[12:33] ---**
Cardinal Mouldeen may have
intervened on the dragons' side.
**[12:38] (Flashback) ---**
Lastly, the price that the Empire
will pay to the Alliance...
**[12:43] (Flashback) ---**
is something you'll get to find out later.
**[12:46] ---**
You're overthinking it.
**[12:47] ---**
The Dragon Empire has no bargaining
chips to deal with the dragons.
**[12:50] ---**
Have Rolca or Vinnel
gotten in touch with you?
**[12:54] ---**
Dunno.
**[12:55] ---**
I've shut down communications.
**[12:58] ---**
How you manage to survive in
society is a grand mystery to me.
**[13:07] ---**
Gigina, Vinnel has some
interesting information for us.
**[13:10] ---**
There's no gravity Jushikiist
by the name of Nidvork.
**[13:15] ---**
Then who was it that attacked us?
**[13:18] ---**
I don't know.
**[13:19] ---**
Hey.
**[13:20] ---**
*I knew you'd be alive, Gayus!*
**[13:22] ---**
Let me skip this month's
payment to celebrate.
**[13:25] ---**
*Wait, the connection's getting bad.*
**[13:27] ---**
*Huh?*
**[13:28] ---**
So did you learn anything
about that fragment?
**[13:31] ---**
*Yeah.*
**[13:33] ---**
* It's biological tissue that's had its*
* composition changed by gravity Jushiki.*
**[13:38] ---**
*I just sent it to you.*
**[13:39] ---**
Biological?
**[13:43] ---**
*What the hell is this?*
**[13:45] ---**
*What's going on?*
**[13:46] ---**
Thanks.
**[13:47] ---**
Later.
**[13:47] ---**
*Yo, Gayus!*
**[13:54] ---**
Jushikiist Supreme Advisory Court?
**[13:58] ---**
Apparently they're going to make me
a 13th grade Jushikiist, like you.
**[14:14] ---**
Gayus, do you think they'll come?
**[14:18] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:19] ---**
We could enlist the help of
other Offensive Jushikiists.
**[14:22] ---**
The mighty Largonkin,
the terrible, scarlet Panhaima,
**[14:26] ---**
the wizard and hermit, Imhotep.
We could ask for their help.
**[14:30] ---**
Why the hell would we ask them?
**[14:32] ---**
They'd end up taking our lives instead.
**[14:34] ---**
We could find Cuello.
**[14:38] ---**
We just don't have the money to hire them.
**[14:41] ---**
We aren't close enough to them
to ask them for their help, either.
**[14:44] ---**
We can only save ourselves.
**[14:47] ---**
That's how it's always been.
**[14:49] ---**
I came prepared, at least.
**[14:50] ---**
The problem is that it'll take too long.
And then there's the focusing ratio.
**[14:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:56] ---**
We'll have to draw them near and trap them.
**[15:00] ---**
The Jushiki from before?
**[15:02] ---**
It'll be better than nothing.
**[15:08] ---**
*Help me!*
**[15:14] ---**
Woman, explain what is going on.
**[15:17] ---**
I'm sorry to bring you out so suddenly.
**[15:18] ---**
I discovered some
malpractice at the hospital.
**[15:21] ---**
I informed the president,
and I was told to keep quiet.
**[15:25] ---**
And now you're being chased
by suspicious people?
**[15:34] ---**
I hid evidence of the malpractice here.
**[15:38] ---**
Say, Genon...
**[15:41] ---**
Yeah, I know this is a trap.
**[15:45] ---**
How did you know?
**[15:47] ---**
Your acting and disguise are perfect.
**[15:49] ---**
But as much as I hate to admit it,
**[15:52] ---**
it's unlikely that a beautiful
nurse would take a liking to me
**[15:56] ---**
and ask for my help.
**[15:58] ---**
Besides...
**[16:01] ---**
Hey, Genon...
**[16:03] ---**
I think taking on the name "Nojé"
was a bit too simplistic.
**[16:07] ---**
Your role is finished.
**[16:08] ---**
Leave the rest to us.
**[16:10] ---**
Why don't you at least state your names?
**[16:12] ---**
We're that old man's...
**[16:14] ---**
His Eminence Cardinal Mouldeen.
**[16:16] ---**
Ow!
**[16:18] ---**
My brother hit me!
**[16:22] ---**
I'm the lovable Beldritt Livet Raki.
**[16:25] ---**
The grouchy one next to me is my
fraternal twin, Jesper Livet Raki.
**[16:31] ---**
The Raki brothers?
**[16:32] ---**
The 14th-grade...
**[16:34] ---**
They're brothers? I thought
they were father and son.
**[16:37] ---**
That's what got you?
**[16:38] ---**
Hey, why did you come here
when you knew it was a trap?
**[16:43] ---**
It's better than getting hit while I'm asleep.
**[16:45] ---**
I'mma come kill you, then.
**[16:47] ---**
Try your best to resist.
**[16:57] ---**
This is my friend and servant,
chosen just for you.
**[17:02] ---**
Now, go have lots of fun together!
**[17:15] ---**
So you use a sword...
**[17:37] ---**
You're quite particular.
**[17:39] ---**
I'm simply returning the disrespect
you showed to His Eminence.
**[17:42] ---**
You're controlling your blade with Jushiki.
**[17:46] ---**
All that's left to do is to mince you.
**[17:52] ---**
Make quick work of him.
**[18:01] ---**
You aren't getting away.
**[18:16] ---**
Now, see through my disguise.
**[18:26] ---**
This is an excellent battle.
**[18:28] ---**
Is there faith in your blade?
**[18:31] ---**
It appears that you rely too
much on reason like my partner.
**[18:35] ---**
I require no such thing
when it comes to fighting.
**[18:38] ---**
You won't defeat us with
such a brittle blade.
**[18:42] ---**
See the true manifestation
**[18:44] ---**
of the Nine-Headed Dragon
Fang Blade, and then die.
**[19:30] ---**
Let's do this.
**[19:56] ---**
Ah, you read me, huh?
**[19:59] ---**
I'd better go to my brother.
**[20:05] ---**
They're trying to separate me and Gigina.
**[20:08] ---**
Or...
**[20:11] ---**
What was Genon defeated by?
**[20:14] ---**
Most likely a sixth-order
chemical alchemy called Astarte.
**[20:19] ---**
A devastating Jushiki
that emits an odorless,
**[20:21] ---**
tasteless poison gas within a limited area.
**[20:23] ---**
Its use is prohibited internationally.
**[20:26] ---**
I never would have thought Soleil
had such a trick up his sleeve.
**[20:30] ---**
Jesper seems to be having a hard
time defeating Gigina, too.
**[20:37] ---**
Are you so sick in the head that you'd charge
head-on into the Nine-Headed Dragon Fang Blade?
**[20:40] ---**
I realized that your Jushiki
doesn't increase mass at all.
**[20:43] ---**
It only manipulates metals.
**[20:46] ---**
The damage output of each of the
nine blades is only a ninth.
**[20:49] ---**
It's not lethal if it doesn't hit a vital spot.
**[20:55] ---**
And here I am!
**[20:58] ---**
Brother, this is bad.
**[21:00] ---**
It's fine.
**[21:07] ---**
You should take a break, Genon.
**[21:10] ---**
N-Never.
**[21:13] ---**
It'll take a lot more to kill me.
**[21:16] ---**
His Eminence has ordered us
not to end it too quickly.
**[21:22] ---**
I will dual-wield my Nine-Headed
Dragon Fang Blades.
**[21:24] ---**
Oh?
**[21:28] ---**
This is a happy miscalculation.
**[21:30] ---**
I get to fight on a higher level.
**[21:32] ---**
Gigina!
**[21:34] ---**
Answer me if you're dead,
you Draken piece of shit.
**[21:37] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:38] ---**
I'm less dead than you, who simply
seeing worsens my vision.
**[21:43] ---**
Let's begin the second act.
**[21:49] ---**
This is quite an exciting battle.
**[21:53] ---**
Now, the final actor enters the stage.
**[21:58] ---**
The moment of rebirth, too,
**[22:00] ---**
I was sure would be clear from the
flyers I placed all over town.
**[22:08] ---**
The aesthetics are now in place.
**[22:11] ---**
It's the beginning of the climax leading
to the conclusion of the play.
**[23:51] ---**
Humanity never learns to love wisdom.
**[23:54] ---**
Humanity loves only foolishness.
**[23:59] ---**
Paradoxically, humanity has no
choice but to be that way.

**[00:06] ---**
This is getting fun, isn't it,
fail-faced Gayus?
**[00:12] ---**
A 14th-rank Mechaswordsman and a Trickster...
**[00:15] ---**
And a Protean transformed
into a pseudo-fire dragon.
**[00:20] ---**
There's nothing we can do.
**[00:22] ---**
But for some reason, I don't feel
like I'm going to lose or die.
**[00:24] ---**
Give me the exact equation that'll
turn your hunch into reality.
**[00:34] ---**
Let's go.
**[01:14] ---**
Gigina!
**[01:20] ---**
Gigina!
**[01:32] ---**
Isn't that...
***SIGN*** Goddess of Revenge
**[01:50] ---**
Nidvork...
**[01:51] ---**
You're finally here.
**[01:56] ---**
All that's left to do is to
defeat the witch and take her.
**[02:11] ---**
What?
**[02:36] ---**
This, a dragon?
**[02:38] ---**
Not a chance.
**[02:44] ---**
Begone.
**[02:45] ---**
I have no need for you two.
**[02:50] ---**
*Terrified?*
**[02:52] ---**
*Me?*
**[02:55] ---**
Brother...
**[02:56] ---**
Beldritt, we're sticking to our plan.
**[02:59] ---**
All right, Brother.
**[03:11] ---**
Not done yet!
**[03:17] ---**
Beldritt!
**[03:21] ---**
Not even a Trickster, a manipulator of
probabilities, can escape from gravity.
**[03:25] ---**
This is nothing but troublesome.
**[03:28] ---**
No matter what happens,
**[03:30] ---**
we must complete our mission
for the honor of the Laki family.
**[03:34] ---**
Brother...
**[03:40] ---**
Perish.
**[03:44] ---**
Don't die!
**[03:51] ---**
I won't let you die.
**[03:54] ---**
*The* Laki brothers are taking a beating.
**[03:57] ---**
This is a surprising turn of events.
**[03:59] ---**
I never expected her to have such power.
**[04:03] ---**
Intriguing.
**[04:06] ---**
We're going to need Gayus
and Gigina to hang in there.
**[04:11] ---**
Are you afraid of me?
**[04:14] ---**
No.
**[04:15] ---**
Now, it's the final act of the festival.
**[04:18] ---**
I look forward to the fireworks.
**[04:26] ---**
You saved our lives.
**[04:29] ---**
I can't allow them to kill you.
**[04:32] ---**
I must tear you apart with my own hands.
**[04:35] ---**
Nidvork...
**[04:37] ---**
You're a black dragon
**[04:39] ---**
and the wife of a black dragon
we defeated before, aren't you?
**[04:45] ---**
A gravity Jushikiist with an odd name.
**[04:49] ---**
No human could fly
under the radar with power like that.
**[04:53] ---**
Furthermore, the scrap of your
clothing that was on Gigina's sword
**[04:58] ---**
resembled the scales of a reptile.
**[05:00] ---**
It's an insult to treat us like reptiles.
**[05:02] ---**
Pardon me.
**[05:05] ---**
But why bother to take human form?
**[05:08] ---**
It's a vow.
**[05:09] ---**
I swore to my beloved
**[05:12] ---**
that I would give you
another—your second—death.
**[05:18] ---**
*Stop!*
**[05:20] ---**
No...
**[05:20] ---**
That's right.
**[05:21] ---**
I cast a dragon's spell to bring
you back from the brink of death.
**[05:27] ---**
Why?
**[05:28] ---**
What for?
**[05:29] ---**
Why else?
**[05:31] ---**
To tear you apart with my own hands
for taking my beloved from me.
**[05:37] ---**
It's over.
**[05:38] ---**
Now, I will crush you to avenge my beloved.
**[05:56] ---**
She's coming!
**[06:06] ---**
An Arsh Modai!
**[06:07] ---**
There's no way she could use her
Jushiki to fly, perform powerful attacks,
**[06:13] ---**
and deploy a barrier all at the same time.
**[06:16] ---**
There's no point.
**[06:18] ---**
So long as this gem stays with me.
**[06:22] ---**
Now, are you ready?
**[06:34] ---**
Gayus!
**[06:35] ---**
Gayus!
**[06:36] ---**
Gayus!
**[06:38] ---**
Wake up, you wussy rearguard!
**[06:46] ---**
Was I... Don't tell me I was...
**[06:51] ---**
You were dead for a moment.
**[06:52] ---**
But...
**[06:54] ---**
I won't let you die so easily.
**[06:57] ---**
I'll kill you a hundred times, revive you
a hundred times, and then kill you again.
**[07:02] ---**
Let's go, Gayus.
**[07:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:05] ---**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[07:07] ---**
Go be a wall, you defective
sword-swinging machine!
**[07:10] ---**
It seems we've been making the mistake
of employing anti-human tactics.
**[07:15] ---**
We're fighting against a dragon.
**[07:18] ---**
One with a gem and
unstoppable gravity Jushiki.
**[07:22] ---**
This is laughable.
**[07:23] ---**
A 900 to 1,000-year class.
**[07:26] ---**
Nidvork must be a true Altar.
**[07:29] ---**
What to do?
**[07:30] ---**
Don't ask me.
**[07:32] ---**
Well, sorry, pardon me.
**[07:34] ---**
I asked you to do something
physically impossible.
**[07:36] ---**
How much intellect do you think I have?
**[07:40] ---**
About as much as an insect.
**[07:42] ---**
Are you done with your last words?
**[07:47] ---**
Then here we go.
**[07:56] ---**
They're neutralizing the
Proke acid with Phoneus.
**[08:00] ---**
That's clever.
**[08:01] ---**
That's not all.
**[08:03] ---**
With their streams having connected...
**[08:06] ---**
Now!
**[08:34] ---**
It's over!
**[08:48] ---**
It's finally over.
**[08:57] ---**
Well? Does it hurt?
**[09:07] ---**
This is just the beginning.
**[09:10] ---**
Savor the pain.
**[09:21] ---**
I won't let you die yet.
**[09:23] ---**
My beloved Eningiluud suffered far more.
**[09:33] ---**
Damn it, I can't think of a way to defeat her.
**[09:38] ---**
Here's a question.
**[09:41] ---**
What's the surprising way to do it?
**[09:45] ---**
Send the tax inspectors after a tax officer
who's on the verge of committing suicide
**[09:51] ---**
because of debts and a pending divorce.
**[09:54] ---**
Yeah, that would kill her.
**[09:56] ---**
If you have some cheap plot twist about
having actually being the descendant
**[10:02] ---**
of a demon king or a super-Draken family
or some shit, now would be a good time.
**[10:06] ---**
I'll let you get away with it just this once.
**[10:09] ---**
Unfortunately, it seems that for
my true power to be revealed,
**[10:14] ---**
a friend has to die.
**[10:17] ---**
But...
**[10:20] ---**
Even when you were 99 percent dead just now,
**[10:24] ---**
nothing happened.
**[10:28] ---**
You don't feel anything even when I die?
**[10:32] ---**
Maybe I'll try dying for real, then.
**[10:42] ---**
I won't allow you to escape
into death, even for a moment!
**[10:48] (Flashback) ---**
Oh, by the way, do you remember that Jushiki?
**[10:51] ---**
*Sure I do, Helodel.*
**[10:55] ---**
*I'm a 13th-grade Jushikiist now.*
**[10:58] ---**
*If only you'd been alive...*
**[11:00] ---**
*Revenge is just stupid.*
**[11:03] ---**
Everyone is dumb as hell!
**[11:19] ---**
I'm using your Par Ee Mon, Helodel.
**[11:52] ---**
Die later.
**[12:01] ---**
You win...
**[12:08] ---**
Why did you take that Jushiki head-on?
**[12:16] ---**
She simply couldn't evade it.
**[12:19] ---**
So she would never lose her beloved again.
**[12:28] ---**
It's my beloved.
**[12:33] ---**
I wanted to fight alongside him.
**[12:42] ---**
I want to ask you a question.
**[12:45] ---**
If you want to avenge your husband,
**[12:48] ---**
why didn't you kill my lover, Jiv?
**[12:55] ---**
You knew where she lived.
**[13:00] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[13:03] ---**
It was the two of you who killed my beloved.
**[13:10] ---**
Though it was someone else
who attacked me out of fear.
**[13:17] ---**
No other human,
including the ones you love,
**[13:22] ---**
were responsible in any way, were they?
**[13:26] ---**
I have done enough.
**[13:33] ---**
I want to hold my beloved
close in the afterlife.
**[13:39] ---**
The way we used to.
**[13:46] ---**
But would Eningiluud recognize
me when he meets me?
**[13:55] ---**
I, who has not fulfilled my vow?
**[14:02] ---**
That alone is my fear.
**[14:07] ---**
I'm scared.
**[14:29] ---**
Are you awake, Patient 4970701?
**[14:33] ---**
Czahn.
**[14:34] ---**
That's right.
**[14:35] ---**
Your kind, kind female doctor.
**[14:38] ---**
Kind in all ways except billing.
**[14:42] ---**
That's right, and then...
**[14:46] ---**
Thank goodness, I still have human hands.
**[14:49] ---**
What do you mean by that?
**[14:50] ---**
Are you suggesting that my treatment
could have failed in any way?
**[14:53] ---**
Your healing Jushiki is first-rate.
**[14:56] ---**
But your personality is unhinged.
**[14:59] ---**
Last time, you tried to switch
my nose out with a dog's!
**[15:03] ---**
It was fancy-looking.
**[15:04] ---**
A dog's sense of scent
would be useful, after all.
**[15:09] ---**
Say...
**[15:11] ---**
Will this do this time?
**[15:12] ---**
I'll pass.
**[15:14] ---**
You're in the service sector.
Honor your customers' demands.
**[15:17] ---**
Then shall I perform surgery
**[15:18] ---**
to make your disappointingly average-shaped
and average-sized penis larger?
**[15:23] ---**
A simple operation could
make it 1.35 times larger.
**[15:26] ---**
Your girlfriend would be delighted.
**[15:28] ---**
1.35?
**[15:31] ---**
I'm fine with being average.
**[15:32] ---**
I don't need more than love and technique.
**[15:35] ---**
You look boring, but your
organs sure are beautiful.
**[15:42] ---**
As an organ artist,
I guarantee it, with some jealousy.
**[15:46] ---**
I'm going to get dressed. Go somewhere else.
**[15:48] ---**
Preferably to hell.
**[15:51] ---**
Oh yeah, someone came to see you.
**[15:55] ---**
It was a monster.
**[16:00] ---**
Human towns are nice.
**[16:03] ---**
Chaotic and beautiful.
**[16:07] ---**
Did you come to end me,
Your Eminence Cardinal Mouldeen?
**[16:12] ---**
Of course not.
**[16:13] ---**
Gigina and I went to hell and back
for the sake of your entertainment.
**[16:18] ---**
My Jesper and Beldritt are
critically injured, too.
**[16:21] ---**
Genon is floating in a vat with only
his brain, spinal cord, and heart.
**[16:27] ---**
We took a lot of damage.
**[16:30] ---**
You win this time.
**[16:32] ---**
Congratulations.
**[16:34] ---**
No, it was all according to your script.
**[16:38] ---**
All of the events were connected
**[16:41] ---**
Your true goal is equilibrium
between the Dragon Empire,
**[16:45] ---**
the Seven-City Alliance,
and the dragon kind Vaisen.
**[16:49] ---**
Continue.
**[16:51] ---**
First, you kicked the hardliners, who are
opposed to the Holy Land of Alsok's ceding,
**[16:54] ---**
out of the assembly using your
rigged self-assassination attempt.
**[17:00] ---**
Meanwhile, for the Seven-City Alliance,
**[17:02] ---**
you promised to mediate the once-failed
Tienlun Accord in the future,
**[17:07] ---**
creating favorable conditions
for Alsok's ceding.
**[17:11] ---**
I suspect you masterminded
the first failure, too.
**[17:16] ---**
You traded the needs of
the three powers in order.
**[17:22] ---**
To the Dragon Empire, the Holy Land;
**[17:24] ---**
to the Alliance, the accord;
and to the dragons...
**[17:28] ---**
Looks like you finally found the answer.
**[17:31] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:32] ---**
You paid the dragons back by having
the two Vaisen defectors hunted down.
**[17:38] ---**
Which means...
**[17:39] ---**
Gigina and I were good bait for Nidvork,
**[17:42] ---**
having killed Eningiluud.
**[17:45] ---**
You got us involved under the
guise of making us guards,
**[17:48] ---**
when in fact, you had us dancing in
the palms of the Winged Generals.
**[17:51] ---**
And on the fishing hook you've
attached to us, Mouldeen,
**[17:55] ---**
is the potent poison that is you.
**[17:58] ---**
Poison, huh?
**[18:00] ---**
The dragon's proud sense of revenge
led her to swallow the poison and die.
**[18:05] ---**
This is the exact outcome
that you had plotted out.
**[18:12] ---**
Well done.
**[18:13] ---**
But one thing...
**[18:15] ---**
It's hard to imagine that the only thing
**[18:16] ---**
you've offered to the dragons
was the two of them.
**[18:19] ---**
There must be more.
**[18:19] ---**
I can't tell you about that.
**[18:23] ---**
In any case, the Winged Generals failed,
**[18:25] ---**
but my insurance policy,
you two, was successful.
**[18:28] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[18:29] ---**
Insurance policy?
**[18:30] ---**
Then you're...
**[18:34] ---**
Even if the actors were to improvise,
even if they abandon the script,
**[18:39] ---**
I trap them inside the stage that
is the stage outside the stage.
**[18:44] ---**
A true playwright must make
the entire world their stage.
**[18:49] ---**
Don't you agree?
**[18:52] ---**
Then why did you make me read the script?
**[18:56] ---**
You're an observer.
**[18:58] ---**
An event without an observer doesn't exist.
**[19:01] ---**
A spectacular closing requires
the ambiguity of mystery.
**[19:08] ---**
But why me?
**[19:10] ---**
For what wretched plan are you here?
**[19:14] ---**
Well, Gigina, you seem as well as ever.
**[19:18] ---**
My earnest prayers must have reached God.
**[19:21] ---**
Which God?
**[19:23] ---**
The God that you wish for.
**[19:26] ---**
I should have lopped your head off
and your rotten brain with it.
**[19:34] ---**
There, there, I wanted
to congratulate you two.
**[19:38] ---**
And it's right to provide an excellent
costar with fame and a prize.
**[19:43] ---**
I have no interest in receiving
so much as a molecule from you.
**[19:46] ---**
What about you, Gayus?
**[19:47] ---**
This is unsettling and unpalatable,
but I agree with Gigina.
**[19:51] ---**
That's unfortunate.
**[19:53] ---**
Here, then.
**[19:56] ---**
Your Eminence, that's...
**[20:01] ---**
I'll leave this here as a prize.
**[20:03] ---**
Take it or leave it. It's up to you.
**[20:05] ---**
But it's a truly valuable ring.
**[20:09] ---**
I...
**[20:13] ---**
I don't approve of your methods.
**[20:18] ---**
I won't be defeated.
**[20:22] ---**
If it'll protect the modest
lives of the meek,
**[20:25] ---**
I'll gladly destroy the
dragons and the abhorrent,
**[20:29] ---**
and cackle in the face of any Jushiki curse.
**[20:34] ---**
I'll prove that the weakness
and brittleness of man
**[20:39] ---**
is sufficient for us to live on.
**[20:49] ---**
That we are humans...
**[20:53] ---**
to the ends of the earth.
**[21:01] ---**
Well, then...
**[21:08] ---**
Oh, right.
**[21:10] ---**
Do you two have any interest
in joining the Winged Generals?
**[21:13] ---**
You'll be paid handsomely and
be given excellent benefits.
**[21:16] ---**
Nope.
**[21:18] ---**
That's a shame.
**[21:21] ---**
You've finally begun to stand on your own.
**[21:27] ---**
We'll meet again when
you overcome yourselves.
**[21:32] ---**
May you be blessed by the blade and the moon.
**[21:34] ---**
It's hard not to be wounded by that sarcasm.
**[21:44] ---**
It's really over this time.
**[21:47] ---**
It seems so.
**[21:48] ---**
What the hell did we accomplish, anyway?
**[21:52] ---**
I don't know of a purpose, but I live.
**[21:55] ---**
And so do you.
**[21:58] ---**
That's good enough.
**[22:11] ---**
That's all that matters
to us Offensive Jushikiists.
**[22:16] ---**
Yeah.
**[22:18] ---**
What a blunder, admitting
that you're the same as me.
**[22:21] ---**
People will question my values and dignity.
**[22:25] ---**
Say, Gigina...
**[22:27] ---**
Yes?
**[22:28] ---**
Would you mind dying, like, right now?
**[22:35] ---**
Why would you do such a thing?
**[22:37] ---**
Who do you think I am?
**[22:42] ---**
I'm Zenon of the Aurora Front!
**[22:44] ---**
I'm the leader of your party!
**[22:47] ---**
You're no longer the party leader.
**[22:50] ---**
N-No...
**[22:52] ---**
I thought you were dead.
**[22:56] ---**
You'll be punished for your betrayal.
**[23:01] ---**
Let's make you useful one last time.
**[23:05] ---**
No!
**[23:19] ---**
Najik, Navarro, we'll hereby summon disaster.
**[23:23] ---**
I'll have your lives.
**[23:26] ---**
I'm well-prepared.
**[23:28] ---**
As am I.
**[23:31] ---**
Begin the revenge.
**[23:34] ---**
This is the first call.
**[23:37] ---**
I curse this world, which does
nothing but take from the weak.
**[23:44] ---**
We awaken today.
**[23:45] ---**
The iron hammer comes with the dawn.
**[23:50] ---**
People take no interest in that
which doesn't interest them.
**[23:54] ---**
Praise, slander, obedience, hostility...
**[23:57] ---**
None of this occurs until one is
interested in the object of such.
**[24:00] ---**
Disinterest is perhaps the
best way to destroy a person.

That's when we get to f8.
**[00:18] ---**
The soldier takes the dragon...
**[00:22] ---**
What are you up to?
**[00:25] ---**
I'm playing chells.
**[00:27] ---**
Chells?
**[00:28] ---**
I'm recreating a game that I played against
someone when I was about your age.
**[00:34] ---**
You remember that far back?
**[00:37] ---**
I remember every move I've played.
**[00:40] ---**
No, I remember everything
I've seen, heard, or felt.
**[00:46] ---**
I don't forget.
**[00:49] ---**
Want to play?
**[00:51] ---**
N-No...
**[00:52] ---**
You're a dangerous prisoner.
**[00:55] ---**
My brother Najik will get angry
at me if he knows I talked to you.
**[01:01] ---**
I may be from the Dragon Empire,
**[01:05] ---**
but I wouldn't eat you like a dragon might.
**[01:17] ---**
Hey, what's your name?
**[01:21] ---**
Pardon me.
**[01:23] ---**
My name is Remedius.
**[01:26] ---**
Viscount Remedius Levvi Rahzel.
**[01:29] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[01:33] ---**
What's your name, miss?
**[01:39] ---**
I-I'm Naricia.
**[01:41] ---**
I don't have a title or family name.
**[01:43] ---**
Just Naricia.
**[01:45] ---**
*Naricia.*
**[01:46] ---**
*I won't forget your smile, your voice...*
**[01:51] ---**
*Your everything.*
***SIGN*** Bad Omen
**[03:29] ---**
Gayus Levina Soleil.
**[03:32] ---**
I hereby arrest you on suspicion
of breaching Jushikiist law.
**[03:33] ---**
W-Wait...
**[03:38] ---**
Prepare yourself.
**[03:40] ---**
Huh? Hey...
**[03:42] ---**
How?!
**[03:43] ---**
How did you do that, Gayus?
**[03:48] ---**
H-Hey...
**[03:49] ---**
You aren't getting away now, police lady.
**[03:52] ---**
Hey...
**[03:54] ---**
Is this fun?
**[03:56] ---**
We may be in love, Jiv,
but sex lives need variety.
**[04:02] ---**
This is kind of pervy.
**[04:04] ---**
You say that, but...
**[04:06] ---**
G-Gayus, you idiot.
**[04:08] ---**
Jiv...
**[04:16] ---**
You should get that.
**[04:23] ---**
What are you so cranky about?
**[04:26] ---**
I'm always rational.
**[04:28] ---**
Even if I'm called to negotiate
compensation for facilities
**[04:32] ---**
that you destroyed when you went crazy.
**[04:35] ---**
Even if that causes our agency,
which is already in the red,
**[04:37] ---**
to end up even more cash-strapped.
**[04:39] ---**
I'm totally fine.
**[04:41] ---**
I see.
**[04:42] ---**
So that Jivenya woman is
the cause of your frustration.
**[04:47] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[04:49] ---**
I'm pissed because you always get
in the way when I'm making love to her.
**[04:53] ---**
Are you asking me to know your mating cycles?
**[04:58] ---**
Well, better that than someone
whose fiancée doesn't even care
**[05:02] ---**
if he comes home or not.
**[05:09] ---**
*Where the hell are you?!*
**[05:11] ---**
You assorted bag of useless Jushikiists!
**[05:15] ---**
* There's been a sighting of*
* abhorrents at Jinorei Firehouse.*
**[05:19] ---**
* The county police have responded,*
* but haven't been able to hold them down.*
**[05:22] ---**
* Backup from headquarters won't*
* make it in time, either.*
**[05:24] ---**
*That means you're up.*
**[05:26] ---**
*Get your asses over there.*
**[05:27] ---**
* Hell, get yourselves killed,*
* and you'll make me happy!*
**[05:33] ---**
Journalism is serious business!
**[05:34] ---**
I don't care if it kills me,
just let me report on it!
**[05:36] ---**
You take it from here.
**[05:38] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[05:40] ---**
Is the light gun not here yet?
**[05:42] ---**
Hey, Baylick.
**[05:46] ---**
Shit, they already got wind of it.
**[05:49] ---**
I know the police don't love us, but hi.
**[05:54] ---**
So, what's the situation?
**[05:56] ---**
A firefighter managed
to escape and reported to us.
**[06:00] ---**
There are still nine people stuck inside.
**[06:03] ---**
Premelena was here. A girl with curly red hair.
**[06:07] ---**
I feel like you have women everywhere we go.
**[06:11] ---**
So, what about the Largonkin Company?
**[06:14] ---**
I'd think they would be the police's
first choice of private contractors.
**[06:18] ---**
They left fifteen minutes ago to deal with a
situation at a dentist's office to the east.
**[06:24] ---**
So you asked us, huh?
**[06:26] ---**
I'm grateful.
**[06:30] ---**
What's the matter?
**[06:31] ---**
*H-Help me...*
**[06:34] ---**
Stay calm.
**[06:35] ---**
What's the situation?
**[06:36] ---**
*Th-The enemy is...*
**[06:58] ---**
This is awful.
**[07:01] ---**
This one's been gassed or poisoned.
**[07:04] ---**
Not much point working as a low-paid
cop when you end up dying like this.
**[07:10] ---**
Though at least they get
survivor's pensions, unlike us.
**[07:13] ---**
Your blabbermouthedness is terminal.
**[07:16] ---**
You're talking, too,
so that makes you an accomplice.
**[07:49] ---**
A Magatsushiki of all things!
**[08:12] ---**
It's a Jushiki interference barrier.
**[08:14] ---**
Amusing.
**[08:21] ---**
Gigina, it's a decoy!
**[08:24] ---**
There's a Sieru coming!
**[08:31] ---**
Above!
**[08:40] ---**
Magatsushiki have been called demonic
and diabolical since ancient times.
**[08:43] ---**
Their power is without equal.
**[08:46] ---**
Their properties are limitlessly
evil and devious.
**[08:49] ---**
There's a Jushikiist saying:
**[08:51] ---**
"If you're going to fight dragons,
ancient giants, or Magatsushiki,
**[08:54] ---**
you're better off going home."
**[08:57] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:58] ---**
So I want to go home.
**[09:09] ---**
Say, Gayus,
**[09:10] ---**
couldn't you wait until the plants
consume the dirt and become bigger?
**[09:14] ---**
I'm solving the food security
crisis for the next century.
**[09:19] ---**
If you don't have bread,
you can always eat dirt.
**[09:26] ---**
Now...
**[09:47] ---**
Help me...
**[09:49] ---**
Help me, Gigina!
**[09:52] ---**
Give it up.
**[09:53] ---**
You can't be saved.
**[10:01] ---**
Is... it over?
**[10:03] ---**
Hey.
**[10:06] ---**
Oh. You.
**[10:09] ---**
It's a weak spot that only
an abhorrent would have.
**[10:13] ---**
It couldn't understand
**[10:15] ---**
that we Offensive Jushikiists have
front line and rear line tactics.
**[10:19] ---**
It seems you understand
enough not to drag me down.
**[10:23] ---**
They say the protagonist always
delivers the final blow.
**[10:26] ---**
Sucks to be a supporting character, huh?
**[10:28] ---**
We may need to speak through blades.
**[10:34] ---**
It's still alive!
**[10:36] ---**
Gayus!
**[10:40] ---**
Good grief.
**[10:42] ---**
When you fight a Magatsushiki,
**[10:45] ---**
you need to destroy all of its
brains and hearts, or it won't die.
**[10:57] ---**
Isn't that what Diorg taught you?
**[11:10] ---**
I heard you two were in tears,
and lo and behold...
**[11:16] ---**
Is that how Drakens treat people
who just saved their friends?
**[11:21] ---**
Largonkin...
**[11:22] ---**
You ought to learn to mind your manners, too.
**[11:25] ---**
I was just making an opportunity for you.
**[11:29] ---**
The evening party has already...
**[11:32] ---**
The evening party has already begun?
**[11:35] ---**
What is it talking about?
**[11:42] ---**
Three days ago, it was
the Odal Veterans' Association.
**[11:45] ---**
Today, it was here and the dentist's office.
**[11:47] ---**
All told, there have been four
Magatsushiki incidents this month.
**[11:53] ---**
I hope this isn't the beginning of something.
**[12:00] ---**
The Tsevellen Dragon Empire
is a nice place, huh?
**[12:06] ---**
I only have bad memories of it.
**[12:08] ---**
But unlike here in Urmun, no one
gets killed without reason, do they?
**[12:14] ---**
You won't get killed for talking
bad about important people
**[12:16] ---**
or for not paying your taxes.
**[12:19] ---**
No one dies of hunger.
**[12:21] ---**
Women don't get sold off.
**[12:23] ---**
It sounds like a fairy-tale paradise.
**[12:27] ---**
I want to go to the Dragon Empire someday.
**[12:31] ---**
I'd like to walk beside a river with you.
**[12:46] ---**
"County police defeat creature conjured
by illegal Summoning Jushikiists,
**[12:52] ---**
solve Jushikiists murder case."
**[12:54] ---**
"Gratitude shown to the city's community safety
division, who cooperated quickly."
**[13:00] ---**
That asshole Sutherland...
**[13:02] ---**
There you go.
**[13:06] ---**
And now it's time for today's happy
Horton Fortune Telling.
**[13:10] ---**
Coffee, please.
**[13:11] ---**
Make it really strong.
**[13:13] ---**
Oh, Arzel.
**[13:15] ---**
You seem pretty tired.
**[13:17] ---**
I'm exhausted from working on the
Magatsushiki case from yesterday.
**[13:20] ---**
Want this?
**[13:21] ---**
Yes!
**[13:24] ---**
If you let me do you once.
**[13:26] ---**
Seriously?
**[13:27] ---**
I'm kidding.
**[13:30] ---**
You have a girlfriend, don't
you? Are you always like this?
**[13:33] ---**
Okay, what if I told you we just broke up?
**[13:36] ---**
No way.
**[13:39] ---**
You're just going to go
right back to Jivenya again.
**[13:43] ---**
Take good care of her.
**[13:48] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:49] ---**
Here you are.
**[13:57] ---**
All right.
**[13:58] ---**
All fueled up.
**[14:01] ---**
Are you going to follow up on
the Magatsushiki incident?
**[14:03] ---**
Nah, something else this time.
**[14:06] ---**
I got news that the Aurora Hammer
is on the move here in Eridana.
**[14:09] ---**
Aurora Hammer?
**[14:11] ---**
They're an anti-government organization
from the faraway Urmun Republic, aren't they?
**[14:15] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:16] ---**
We don't know what they're doing in Eridana,
**[14:19] ---**
but the head of state, Dochetta,
is holding a celebration soon.
**[14:25] ---**
Is something fishy going on?
**[14:27] ---**
Dochetta is originally
a Numerical Jushikiist.
**[14:30] ---**
Apparently, he used to care
about the nation,
**[14:33] ---**
but he changed completely
after he won the election.
**[14:36] ---**
He's been oppressing his people
with fear and violence.
**[14:39] ---**
A typical tyrant, along with the
poverty and inequality that follows.
**[14:44] ---**
I wonder what caused it.
**[14:45] ---**
Dunno.
**[14:47] ---**
I'm guessing he gave into despair...
**[14:51] ---**
in the hopeless nation that is Urmun.
**[14:54] ---**
In people.
**[15:00] ---**
What are you making this time?
**[15:02] ---**
A shelf.
**[15:03] ---**
Also known as my son.
**[15:06] ---**
Don't go adding inanimate
objects to your family.
**[15:08] ---**
It'll make your inheritance complicated.
**[15:13] ---**
We have a client coming soon.
**[15:15] ---**
Get the details from them.
**[15:17] ---**
Dude.
**[15:17] ---**
I specialize in fighting.
**[15:20] ---**
You specialize in everything else.
**[15:22] ---**
I specialize in cutting.
**[15:24] ---**
You specialize in receiving pain.
**[15:31] ---**
Whoosh.
**[15:38] ---**
You broke it.
**[15:42] ---**
I'll break you, too.
**[15:44] ---**
How much? One hundred or two hundred?
**[15:46] ---**
Hang on!
**[15:48] ---**
You bought the materials for
that chair at the 100 yen shop!
**[15:52] ---**
That's worth more than your life!
**[15:56] ---**
Then I'll tell you the truth.
**[15:58] ---**
I'm actually Gayus's twin brother, Gayushi.
**[16:03] ---**
Be that as it may, you're
the one who broke my chair!
**[16:07] ---**
You just wondered for a second
if it was true, didn't you?
**[16:10] ---**
Dummy!
**[16:15] ---**
Die!
**[16:17] ---**
Stop!
**[16:22] ---**
Do you want to get cut down, too?
**[16:26] ---**
Jiv...
**[16:35] ---**
First Cuello, and now her.
**[16:37] ---**
You're always hiding behind women.
**[16:49] ---**
That was scary...
**[16:51] ---**
Don't put yourself in danger.
**[16:53] ---**
This happens all the time.
**[16:54] ---**
But he was seriously going to...
**[16:57] ---**
Jiv...
**[16:59] ---**
So who's Cuello?
**[17:01] ---**
Oh, she's a former fellow Offensive Jushikiist.
**[17:07] ---**
She was my woman from way back.
**[17:09] ---**
But now...
**[17:13] ---**
You're the only one for me.
**[17:20] ---**
Come on, you have a guest.
**[17:22] ---**
I'm going to go to work now.
**[17:25] ---**
I got to see you freaking out, too.
**[17:28] ---**
Just don't get yourself into too much trouble.
**[17:37] ---**
I am Egurrd Lasgrissid.
**[17:39] ---**
I'm an Offensive Jushikiist specializing
in negotiation and diplomacy.
**[17:43] ---**
This here is Calpulnia Levvinakes Rahzel.
**[17:46] ---**
The client.
**[17:49] ---**
I'm here representing the Rahzel Foundation.
**[17:54] ---**
The Rahzel Foundation?
**[17:55] ---**
Of Rahzel Company?
**[17:57] ---**
Correct.
**[17:58] ---**
She's the head of Rahzel Company,
**[18:01] ---**
one of the few corporate
giants in the Dragon Empire.
**[18:04] ---**
What would you ask of a
private agency like ours?
**[18:09] ---**
Do you know of my nephew,
Remedius Levvi Rahzel?
**[18:14] ---**
Yes.
**[18:15] ---**
He's the chells genius who became
the continental champion
**[18:19] ---**
at just eleven years old.
**[18:21] ---**
Further, he's known to have been the creator
**[18:25] ---**
of almost all of Rahzel Company's
cutting-edge technology.
**[18:29] ---**
But he...
**[18:30] ---**
Yes.
**[18:31] ---**
On his visit to Urmun Republic two years ago,
**[18:34] ---**
he was abducted by an anti-government
organization known
**[18:37] ---**
as the Aurora Hammer, or the Aurora Front,
as they were known at the time.
**[18:42] ---**
He hasn't come home since.
**[18:44] ---**
But we've been negotiating under the radar,
**[18:47] ---**
and we've finally agreed on a transfer
of ransom money and the doctor.
**[18:51] ---**
The transfer is in two days, here in Eridana.
**[18:56] ---**
The ransom is two billion yen.
**[18:59] ---**
Two billion yen?!
**[19:03] ---**
And what would you have us do?
**[19:06] ---**
We want you to accompany us
as guards to the exchange point.
**[19:11] ---**
Egurrd, I don't recall giving you
permission to smoke next to me.
**[19:17] ---**
Pardon me.
**[19:19] ---**
Our security department lacks Jushikiists
who are accustomed to violence.
**[19:24] ---**
I've heard that you are both 13th-grade.
**[19:29] ---**
We need you.
**[19:32] ---**
Of course, we will promise a
reward fitting of the task.
**[19:44] ---**
No smoking in this room.
**[19:47] ---**
I won't light it.
**[19:49] ---**
My wife set a limit for
the sake of my health.
**[19:53] ---**
The report on the Jinorei Firehouse.
**[19:56] ---**
Did you make me deliver this just so I'd have
to meet with that loner Largonkin there?
**[20:03] ---**
Since Baylick doesn't seem
to want to say it, I will.
**[20:07] ---**
Want to work with us, the Largonkin Company?
**[20:09] ---**
What?
**[20:13] ---**
First, take a look at this.
**[20:16] ---**
These points are where the Magatsushiki
**[20:18] ---**
showed up this past month in Eridana.
**[20:22] ---**
That *is* unusually frequent.
**[20:24] ---**
The mayor personally asked for us
to recruit private Jushikiists.
**[20:30] ---**
We at the Largonkin Company
could deal with it handily ourselves,
**[20:34] ---**
but our headquarters is
on the Alliance side.
**[20:36] ---**
We're enlisting the help of
you guys from the Dragon Empire
**[20:39] ---**
so that we can set up a joint front.
**[20:42] ---**
I wouldn't mind cooperating
as long as we got paid.
**[20:45] ---**
But... too bad.
**[20:48] ---**
We received a request from
a huge corporation *just* before yours,
**[20:52] ---**
and we're really busy.
**[20:53] ---**
We'll accept *any* conditions.
**[20:57] ---**
It's settled.
**[20:59] ---**
The Largonkin agency will
mop up the Magatsushiki,
**[21:02] ---**
and Ashley-Bufh & Soleil will assist.
**[21:06] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[21:16] ---**
It seems our evening party is going well.
**[21:20] ---**
Your scouts were wiped
out by the Jushikiists.
**[21:25] ---**
Now, it's my men's turn.
**[21:28] ---**
Please go easy on me.
**[21:31] ---**
We'll see if I can.
**[21:34] ---**
Now then, the curtains have
risen on our dazzling spectacle
**[21:38] ---**
here in this city of
conspiracy and deception.
**[21:42] ---**
It's the beginning of a happy
play of blood and killing.
**[21:49] ---**
Bloodshed for the sake of bloodshed,
**[21:51] ---**
murder for the sake of murder,
hell for the sake of hell.
**[21:56] ---**
Who will make it possible
to play the first move
**[21:59] ---**
and the last move on a
board of our creation?
**[22:04] ---**
You, me, or him...
**[22:10] ---**
Who will have the last laugh?
**[22:13] ---**
Let us enjoy it!
**[23:50] ---**
Every human is a component.
**[23:53] ---**
If there was a world that could
be saved by the might of one alone,
**[23:58] ---**
it would be a wretched world
which would need only that one.

**[00:02] Zemunn**
To be honest,
**[00:04] ---**
we're having a hard time dealing
with you, Viscount Remedius.
**[00:09] Man**
What are you talking about, Zemunn?
**[00:10] Man**
This bastard's company, Rahzel Company,
is selling Jushiki weapons to Dochetta.
**[00:16] Man**
Urmun is suffering because
of the weapons he invented.
**[00:19] Man**
We ought to kill him in the name of Zhuo Lu!
**[00:22] Person A**
Yeah!
**[00:23] Person B**
Kill him!
**[00:25] Zemunn**
Fools!
**[00:26] Zemunn**
You've abducted him
without thinking it through.
**[00:28] Zemunn**
Do you want the Dragon Empire against us, too?
**[00:31] Person A**
But we can't let him go!
**[00:34] Person B**
Yeah.
**[00:35] Naricia**
Stop it, Navarro.
**[00:37] Naricia**
You too, Najik.
**[00:38] Navarro**
Stay out of this, Naricia.
**[00:40] Navarro**
We need to avenge our people.
**[00:42] Remedius**
Um, with all due respect, that Majouken
will explode if you fire it.
**[00:49] Person A**
Shut your mouth!
**[01:01] Remedius**
Dust had gotten into the contact terminal.
**[01:05] Remedius**
You need to replace them once every three
months in a desert area like Urmun.
**[01:12] Person C**
Check mine, too!
**[01:13] Person D**
Mine, too, please!
**[01:16] Remedius**
Hang on. One at a time.
**[01:21] Naricia**
See? Remedius is awesome, isn't he?
**[01:25] Person A**
Seriously?
**[01:26] Person B**
Wow.
***SIGN*** Invitation to an Evening Party
**[01:38] Largonkin**
Yeah.
**[01:40] Largonkin**
It's already taken care of.
**[01:42] Largonkin**
It's just one after another.
**[01:44] Largonkin**
Damn Magatsushiki...
**[01:46] ---**
When are they going to stop?
**[01:52] Gayus**
Apparently Largonkin's people
**[01:54] ---**
made quick work of the Magatsushiki
that showed up in the subway.
**[01:58] Gayus**
What's wrong?
**[02:00] Gayus**
Is it about Premelena?
**[02:02] Gigina**
I don't care about the girl's life.
**[02:05] Gayus**
You're quite cold.
**[02:07] Gigina**
I gave that woman death as a Draken warrior.
**[02:12] Gigina**
That's all.
**[02:17] Calpulnia**
You're on time.
**[02:19] Calpulnia**
Excellent.
**[02:20] Gayus**
And the person we're negotiating with?
**[02:22] Calpulnia**
They're already here, it seems.
**[02:27] Gayus**
They're extremely well-prepared.
**[02:29] Gayus**
Let's be careful.
**[02:31] Gigina**
I know.
**[02:33] Gayus**
So these are the faces of the Aurora Hammer,
the ones who are trying to take down
**[02:38] ---**
Urmun's terrible dictator, Dochetta.
**[02:41] Zhuo Lu**
Stop there.
**[02:44] Zhuo Lu**
Calpulnia herself came, as was agreed.
**[02:48] Calpulnia**
Where is Party Leader Zemunn?
**[02:51] Zhuo Lu**
He's no longer the party leader.
**[02:53] Calpulnia**
Then who do I negotiate with?
**[02:57] Zhuo Lu**
You'll negotiate with me.
**[02:59] Zhuo Lu**
I'm the leader of the Aurora Hammer.
**[03:02] Zhuo Lu**
The organization calls me Zhuo Lu,
the Man-Eating Dragon of the Sand.
**[03:08] Gayus**
Hey, we said we'd be cautious.
**[03:11] Gigina**
That man is dangerous.
**[03:12] Gigina**
As dangerous as the cardinal's
Winged Generals.
**[03:15] Gigina**
Possibly even more so.
**[03:18] Gayus**
Are you serious?
**[03:20] Zhuo Lu**
Where is the ransom money?
**[03:22] Calpulnia**
We'll see the hostage first.
**[03:24] Zhuo Lu**
You ought to show your hand first.
**[03:35] Calpulnia**
Now it's your turn.
**[03:37] Calpulnia**
Where is my nephew, Remedius?
**[03:56] Zhuo Lu**
Then let's begin the exchange.
**[03:58] Calpulnia**
Not yet.
**[03:59] Calpulnia**
Just based on appearance, I wouldn't be able
to tell if he were a fake who's had plastic surgery.
**[04:04] Egurrd**
Prove it with this.
**[04:08] Zhuo Lu**
A Jushiki wavelength identifier?
**[04:11] Zhuo Lu**
All right.
**[04:17] Machine**
* Confirmed match*
* with 99.9988 percent certainty.*
**[04:24] Calpulnia**
Very well.
**[04:40] Egurrd**
Shit!
**[04:48] Gayus**
Gigina!
**[04:57] Gigina**
Is it another force that just showed up?
**[04:58] Gayus**
Hell if I know!
**[04:59] Gayus**
Just focus on getting out of here!
**[05:13] Gayus**
I can't believe a human being could
produce such a powerful Jushiki barrier.
**[05:17] Gayus**
Impossible.
**[05:20] Zhuo Lu**
Die.
**[05:29] Gayus**
Sixth-order numerical
quantum Jushiki, Sui Tori.
**[05:33] Gayus**
It converts the amino acids throughout
the body with quantum interference.
**[05:37] Gayus**
A demon's Jushiki.
**[05:41] Gayus**
We could have been dead if I hadn't
**[05:43] ---**
defended us with my Phoenic,
and you hadn't healed us with your O Se.
**[05:48] Gayus**
The Sand Dragon...
**[05:50] Gigina**
A ghastly slaughter, as though
the victims had been chewed up.
**[05:55] Calpulnia**
Where's Remedius?
**[05:57] Calpulnia**
My nephew?
**[05:59] Gayus**
Sadly, I believe it's too late.
**[06:04] Gigina**
Either Zhuo Lu or the attackers
left us with an unwanted gift.
**[06:27] (Flashback) Person A**
Drink up, man.
**[06:29] (Flashback) Remedius**
Thanks.
**[06:31] (Flashback) Remedius**
But I'm still a hostage, am I not?
**[06:36] (Flashback) Person B**
I'd like to thank you.
**[06:38] (Flashback) Person B**
You saved our lives.
**[06:40] (Flashback) Person B**
With our Jushiki weapons, too.
**[06:42] (Flashback) Person C**
Mine's in great shape!
**[06:44] (Flashback) Person D**
Mine, too!
**[06:45] (Flashback) Person E**
Thanks.
**[06:46] (Flashback) Remedius**
It's nothing.
**[06:47] (Flashback) Remedius**
I just lent a small hand.
**[06:50] (Flashback) Person B**
We repay those who save
our lives with our own.
**[06:54] (Flashback) Person B**
Use my life, too, when you need it
**[06:58] (Flashback) Person A**
Mine, too.
**[07:00] (Flashback) Person A**
In the name of Zhuo Lu!
**[07:03] (Flashback) Remedius**
Najik, Navarro...
**[07:09] (Flashback) Naricia**
A long time ago, Urmun was under
the control of a bad king.
**[07:15] (Flashback) Naricia**
The people suffered, and cries
of discontent echoed across the land.
**[07:19] (Flashback) Naricia**
The people prayed to God,
but there was no answer.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Naricia**
One woman's husband and children
were killed by the king.
**[07:28] (Flashback) Naricia**
Out of despair, she climbed the
northern Urmun mountain of Derilla,
**[07:32] (Flashback) ---**
known as the Mountains of Hell, in an
effort to take her own life as well.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Naricia**
The woman walked for seven days and nights
**[07:39] (Flashback) ---**
through the mountain of death,
not a blade of grass in sight.
**[07:42] (Flashback) Naricia**
Yet she couldn't die.
**[07:44] (Flashback) Naricia**
Her wailing echoed through
the mountains and valleys.
**[07:49] (Flashback) Naricia**
When the woman came to,
she saw the Sand Dragon, Zhuo Lu.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Naricia**
The woman begged Zhuo Lu for help.
**[07:58] (Flashback) Naricia**
But the dragon had been sealed in the
mountain for the crime of eating people.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Naricia**
It had lost its former powers.
**[08:05] (Flashback) Naricia**
The woman said, "Then eat me."
**[08:09] (Flashback) Naricia**
"Let my blood and flesh become your dragon
strength, and defeat the bad king."
**[08:14] (Flashback) Naricia**
The woman jumped into the dragon's mouth.
**[08:23] (Flashback) Naricia**
The dragon, having regained its strength,
escaped the mountains,
**[08:27] (Flashback) ---**
flew through the deserts,
and descended on the palace,
**[08:30] (Flashback) ---**
where he shredded to death the
bad king and his henchmen.
**[08:34] (Flashback) Naricia**
Zhuo Lu said to the people:
"Give your flesh and blood,
**[08:38] (Flashback) ---**
and I will appear when you need
to consume the enemies of Urmun."
**[08:44] (Flashback) Naricia**
And with a sad howl,
Zhuo Lu vanished into the distant sky.
**[08:49] (Flashback) Naricia**
Now, until it receives blood and flesh again,
**[08:56] (Flashback) ---**
the dragon slumbers somewhere
in Derilla, the Mountains of Hell.
**[09:03] (Flashback) Remedius**
That's a sad story.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Remedius**
The people were never truly
saved from their suffering.
**[09:09] (Flashback) Person A**
This nation is suffering so much that we'd
prefer to place our faith in a fairy tale.
**[09:15] (Flashback) Person B**
That's why I'll be Zhuo Lu.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Person B**
I'll become the dragon that'll
consume the bad king Dochetta.
**[09:25] (Flashback) Person A**
His Highness Dochetta has not
given a fourth-rank citizen
**[09:29] (Flashback) ---**
permission to open a shop here.
**[09:32] (Flashback) Person B**
But...
**[09:34] (Flashback) Person A**
You insect.
**[09:39] (Flashback) Remedius**
That's...
**[09:41] (Flashback) Person A**
What the hell are you doing? Run!
**[09:43] (Flashback) Remedius**
I was told they would be used
to maintain peace, and yet...
**[09:47] (Flashback) Person A**
A weapon is a weapon!
**[09:53] (Flashback) Remedius**
Naricia!
**[09:59] (Flashback) Remedius**
Die.
**[10:15] Calpulnia**
Yesterday's exchange was a failure.
**[10:17] Calpulnia**
The guards are dead, and the enemy
made off with the two billion yen ransom.
**[10:22] Calpulnia**
I lost my nephew, Remedius.
**[10:25] Calpulnia**
Who am I to hold accountable for all this?
**[10:30] Gayus**
It's true that my partner
and I had our failings.
**[10:35] Gayus**
But our mission was to protect you.
**[10:39] Gayus**
I believe we accomplished that.
**[10:43] Gayus**
Can you think of who the attackers might
have been and what their motive was?
**[10:47] Calpulnia**
I've got nothing.
**[10:49] Calpulnia**
The police investigation at the
site turned up nothing, too.
**[10:53] Calpulnia**
And Egurrd has been missing
ever since the incident.
**[10:57] Gayus**
Do you believe Egurrd was somehow involved?
**[11:02] Calpulnia**
I don't know.
**[11:09] Gayus**
What's that?
**[11:10] Calpulnia**
A chells piece.
**[11:12] Calpulnia**
This is the play that won Remedius
the continental competition.
**[11:20] Gayus**
Birds and elephants...
**[11:22] Gayus**
Those are some odd pieces.
**[11:24] Calpulnia**
Yes.
**[11:25] Calpulnia**
This is apparently how it used to be.
**[11:28] Calpulnia**
Nowadays, the elephant is a bishop,
**[11:30] ---**
and the birds and boats are rooks.
**[11:34] Calpulnia**
Come to think of it,
I've been cruel to that boy.
**[11:38] Calpulnia**
I made him give up the game that he
loved for the sake of the company,
**[11:42] ---**
and forced him into research.
**[11:44] Calpulnia**
He had such a strong sense of justice.
**[11:46] Calpulnia**
To think of how much he suffered
**[11:48] ---**
when he learned of how the weapons
of his invention were being used in Urmun...
**[11:57] Calpulnia**
Now, I'd like to make
one more request of you.
**[12:02] Calpulnia**
Track down the Aurora Hammer
**[12:04] ---**
and bring home Remedius, no matter what.
**[12:08] Calpulnia**
That's the only way you can atone to me.
**[12:15] Gayus**
I know it's for the sake of security,
**[12:17] ---**
but it's such a pain in the ass that
they confiscate them before we land.
**[12:24] Gigina**
Stand still.
**[12:25] Gigina**
Just listen.
**[12:28] Gigina**
I sense someone watching us.
**[12:30] Gigina**
In the direction of 3:16.
**[12:32] Gigina**
Pitch of 6.1 degrees.
**[12:34] Gigina**
Approximately 550 merters away.
**[12:38] Gayus**
Where?
**[12:39] Gigina**
Too late.
**[12:40] Gigina**
They're already gone.
**[12:42] Gayus**
Who was it?
**[12:44] Gayus**
One of my insane stalkers?
**[12:47] Gigina**
Distasteful jokes aside, it smells
the same as the last incident.
**[12:55] Gayus**
Mouldeen has nothing to do with this.
**[12:58] Gayus**
Let's get Vinnel to hunt down
the Aurora Hammer.
**[13:02] Gigina**
We might have been better off
turning down this job.
**[13:07] Gayus**
It's too late now.
**[13:08] Gayus**
We're already a part of this.
**[13:16] Gigina**
This is Tarelk.
**[13:17] Gigina**
Isn't it magnificent?
**[13:20] Gayus**
Magnificently in my way.
**[13:22] Gayus**
Also, don't go giving cabinets names.
**[13:24] Gigina**
This child has excellent
storage capabilities.
**[13:28] Gigina**
A person could fit in here.
**[13:32] Gayus**
Not you, Gigina.
**[13:36] Gigina**
Nonsense.
**[13:37] Gigina**
My son can do anything.
**[13:40] Gigina**
Cabinets store limitless potential.
**[13:43] Gayus**
Not happening.
**[13:46] Gigina**
Want to bet a hundred yen?
**[13:50] Gigina**
How's that?
**[13:51] Gigina**
I fit snugly inside.
**[13:55] Gayus**
All right, you win.
**[14:09] Gayus**
**[14:11] Gigina**
Tarelk, that's enough.
**[14:14] Gigina**
Gayus, open up. I'm coming out.
**[14:17] Gayus**
Sir, it'll be a hundred yen to leave.
**[14:22] Gigina**
How about I make some room
between your neck and torso?
**[14:29] Gayus**
Sure, be my guest.
**[14:31] Gayus**
You're free to break out
of your beloved cabinet, sir.
**[14:39] Gigina**
I gave it back.
**[14:40] Gigina**
Let me out.
**[14:41] Gayus**
Not so fast.
**[14:43] Gayus**
It's another thousand yen to open the door.
**[14:47] Gayus**
Further, it'll be another
ten thousand to motivate me.
**[14:53] Gigina**
Gayus!
**[14:58] Gayus**
Gigina, you're way too
badass for me right now.
**[15:03] Gigina**
You'll pay with your life for the
tragedy that has befallen Tarelk!
**[15:08] ---**
Die!
**[15:11] Gayus**
H-Hang on!
**[15:18] Gayus**
Largonkin.
**[15:20] Gayus**
Yeah...
**[15:22] Gayus**
All right.
**[15:28] Largonkin**
Ah, glad you made it.
**[15:31] Largonkin**
Let me introduce you to our top people.
**[15:34] Largonkin**
Iegie.
**[15:36] Largonkin**
Jabeira.
**[15:38] Largonkin**
They're both 12th-rank.
**[15:41] Largonkin**
You know of Vice President Yahkto, don't you?
**[15:46] Iegie**
Huh, so this is that sword dancer...
**[15:49] Iegie**
Old Man Largonkin,
is this guy actually that good?
**[15:57] Iegie**
I'd expect no less of the Draken warrior race.
**[16:00] Iegie**
You're perfectly crazy.
**[16:01] Gigina**
Is that all you've got to say,
inferior Alurian?
**[16:08] Jabeira**
Stop it.
**[16:13] Jabeira**
Did I surprise you?
**[16:15] Jabeira**
Iryu, 12th-order
electromagnetic optics Jushiki.
**[16:20] Jabeira**
Sorry about him.
**[16:22] Jabeira**
He's jealous of your title as
Eridana's top Jushiki swordsman.
**[16:28] Jabeira**
By the way, this isn't a
polite thing to ask, but...
**[16:32] Jabeira**
Gayus, are you in a relationship?
**[16:35] Gayus**
Y-Yeah, I am.
**[16:40] Jabeira**
Damn it, you have a collar on you.
**[16:42] Jabeira**
Go get impaled by a stick, you dog!
**[16:45] Iegie**
Jabeira's personality changes
depending on her mood.
**[16:49] Iegie**
You'll meet the others soon.
**[16:54] Yahkto**
First of all, what is a Magatsushiki?
**[16:57] Yahkto**
One theory suggests they're beings
of information existing in phase.
**[17:03] Yahkto**
It's also said that their
very existence is a Jushiki.
**[17:08] Yahkto**
Thus they create their own bodies
**[17:13] ---**
by taking in matter of this
world and rearranging it.
**[17:17] Iegie**
Too long.
**[17:19] Iegie**
Give us a summary, Yahkto.
**[17:21] Yahkto**
The point is that a Magatsushiki is a
different kind of being from ourselves.
**[17:26] Yahkto**
Their minds and motives are
difficult to comprehend.
**[17:30] Gayus**
Is it just me,
**[17:32] ---**
or are the Magatsushiki emerging
closer and closer to the city center?
**[17:35] Largonkin**
That's right.
**[17:37] Largonkin**
It looks as though there's
some kind of rule or intent,
**[17:40] ---**
but for the time being, it's unknown.
**[17:41] Largonkin**
We're still investing this
and similar incidents.
**[17:45] Person A**
Sir, you mustn't.
**[17:47] Largonkin**
What's going on?
**[17:49] Sarvey**
A-Are you Mr. Largonkin?
**[17:54] Sarvey**
I'm Deacon Sarvey.
**[17:57] Sarvey**
Th-This is for you.
**[18:08] Clown**
This is our gift to you.
**[18:11] Clown**
And now for the happy play.
**[18:16] Clown**
The second act shall be a tragedy.
**[18:32] Gayus**
Deacon Sarvey!
**[18:35] Sarvey**
What impiety towards me, the father of death!
**[18:43] Gayus**
He's eating his Jushiki power.
**[18:48] Gigina**
And he got a promotion from
deacon to father, too.
**[18:51] Largonkin**
All units, fire Fel Fu!
**[18:58] Gayus**
That model itself was a Magatsushiki.
**[19:01] Gigina**
The father is an attacker,
and the box protected him.
**[19:05] Gigina**
It seems the Magatsushiki are learning
the art of warfare as well.
**[19:11] Largonkin**
Iegie, Jabeira, let's take it down.
**[19:14] Jabeira**
All right.
**[19:25] Sarvey**
What irreverence!
**[19:30] Iegie**
You aren't getting away!
**[19:31] Iegie**
Take this!
**[19:36] Iegie**
Gaft poison is pretty powerful.
**[19:50] Jabeira**
All right, your girl Jabeira's
going to finish you off.
**[20:03] Gayus**
It's over.
**[20:08] Clown**
Well, well, what a spectacle.
**[20:12] Clown**
Don't get too serious, would you?
**[20:17] Clown**
I'm just here to say hi for today.
**[20:21] Clown**
Or...
**[20:22] Clown**
Have you not spilled enough blood?
**[20:30] Iegie**
Pops...
**[20:31] Jabeira**
Stop.
**[20:34] Largonkin**
You aren't ordinary Magatsushiki, are you?
**[20:38] Clown**
Correct!
**[20:41] Clown**
I am the grave crawler,
**[20:44] ---**
type 498, Viscount Amupura.
**[20:50] Janahn**
I'm the weaver of war,
type 502, Baron Janahn Ghalan.
**[20:57] Largonkin**
You're numbered...
**[20:59] Largonkin**
You're the rulers of the Magatsushiki,
the Great Magatsushiki?
**[21:02] Clown**
Indeed.
**[21:04] Clown**
You lot were chosen to be on the
board of the evening party.
**[21:09] Clown**
You should be honored.
**[21:12] Janahn**
Wait, Amupura.
**[21:14] Janahn**
See that man's right hand?
**[21:18] Clown**
Oh, dear!
**[21:20] Clown**
An Eye of the Cosmos, taken from the Vaisen.
**[21:26] Clown**
Why does an insignificant
being like yourself have that?
**[21:34] Clown**
I like it!
**[21:35] Clown**
I like it, Baron Janahn Ghalan.
**[21:39] Clown**
How about we change one of the
rules of the evening party?
**[21:45] Janahn**
Yeah. As a forced condition of
victory in the evening party,
**[21:49] ---**
let's bet their heads, and *that*.
**[21:53] Janahn**
The curtain fall draws near.
**[21:56] Janahn**
The final act is at high noon,
three days from now.
**[21:59] Janahn**
Should that time pass,
the board will be destroyed.
**[22:06] Largonkin**
The curtain fall in three days?
**[22:08] Largonkin**
What the hell are those
Great Magatsushiki plotting?
**[23:50] Largonkin**
The most terrifying thing in the
world is an inability to communicate.
**[23:57] Largonkin**
It is a world of endless desert,
**[24:00] ---**
where words and meaning are lost.

**[00:03] Person A**
*We're in position.*
**[00:17] (Flashback) People**
Cheers!
**[00:19] (Flashback) Person A**
We win again!
**[00:21] (Flashback) Person A**
One victory after another!
**[00:22] (Flashback) Person B**
We're undefeatable with Remedius on our side.
**[00:27] (Flashback) Person C**
I didn't think you'd have talent
as a tactical commander.
**[00:32] (Flashback) Remedius**
Thank you, Party Leader Zemunn.
**[00:35] (Flashback) Remedius**
But it's simply because I like chells,
and that happens to have been useful here.
**[00:41] (Flashback) Person C**
Why do you participate in this battle?
**[00:45] (Flashback) Person C**
No one would blame you
for going home to Tsevellen.
**[00:50] (Flashback) Remedius**
Well...
**[00:54] (Flashback) Remedius**
It wasn't until I came to this nation
that I discovered the truth.
**[00:58] (Flashback) Remedius**
Jushiki was supposed to
bring people happiness,
**[01:01] (Flashback) ---**
but it's being used for oppression.
**[01:03] (Flashback) Remedius**
I can't allow such injustice.
**[01:05] (Flashback) Person C**
Injustice, huh?
**[01:07] (Flashback) Remedius**
Talk will change nothing.
**[01:11] (Flashback) Remedius**
That's why action is necessary.
**[01:15] (Flashback) Person C**
But all our actions are based in force.
**[01:18] (Flashback) Remedius**
Yes, but you use force
for the right purposes.
**[01:22] (Flashback) Remedius**
There are no other options.
**[02:56] Yahkto**
Father, I surrender myself to your hand.
***SIGN*** Calm Days and Lonely Nights
**[03:02] Yahkto**
I prepare for anything and accept everything.
**[03:05] Yahkto**
May your soul be in me
**[03:08] Yahkto**
and in all beings of your creation.
**[03:17] Gayus**
What's wrong?
**[03:18] Gigina**
I cannot.
**[03:19] Gigina**
To participate in the rituals of another
religion would be to betray my homeland.
**[03:24] Gayus**
Dude...
**[03:27] Gigina**
You shall drench your abundant
body of dreams in blood,
**[03:32] ---**
and weave a robe of moonlight and stardust.
**[03:36] Gigina**
There, idleness and transience vanish,
**[03:41] ---**
and the pale messengers forget their
need to compare their own ferocity.
**[03:49] Gigina**
Even joyous days are somehow sad.
**[03:53] Gigina**
A child's dream being
made true is not enough
**[03:56] ---**
to end the loneliness.
**[04:00] Gigina**
I believe in love that is
without reason, without words,
**[04:05] ---**
with only passion.
**[04:09] Gigina**
Youth was a scar.
**[04:11] Gigina**
Naivety tumbles from immortality
to the ephemeral.
**[04:17] Gigina**
That fleeting eternity,
**[04:20] ---**
that smile of yours that perished so quietly,
**[04:24] ---**
is all that remains singing in my heart.
**[04:36] Gigina**
It's a silly song that Premelena
sang for a night chat.
**[04:39] Gigina**
It ought to be fitting
for this whiny occasion.
**[04:44] Gayus**
That's it, huh?
**[04:48] Gayus**
Sobbing cheap tears over a coworker's death?
**[04:53] Iegie**
How dare you?!
**[04:54] Jabeira**
I'll kill you!
**[04:55] Largonkin**
You fools!
**[04:57] Largonkin**
Gayus is right.
**[04:59] Largonkin**
Who killed our peer?
**[05:02] Largonkin**
Our enemies are the damn Magatsushiki
**[05:04] ---**
and the Great Magatsushiki who control them,
**[05:06] Largonkin**
Amupura and Janahn Ghalan.
**[05:08] Largonkin**
Am I wrong?
**[05:13] Largonkin**
All right, it's time to stop the tears.
**[05:16] Largonkin**
Who's going to kill them
so our peer can rest in peace?
**[05:20] Iegie**
We are!
**[05:21] Largonkin**
Then what are you waiting for?
**[05:23] Largonkin**
Go to town!
**[05:25] Largonkin**
Hunt down every last damn Magatsushiki!
**[05:27] Largonkin**
Send them back to hell where they belong!
**[05:37] Largonkin**
Sorry you had to play such a shitty role.
**[05:40] Gayus**
That's why you called me, isn't it?
**[05:42] Gayus**
What a pain in the ass you are.
**[05:45] Largonkin**
Say, why don't you take this
opportunity to join our agency?
**[05:50] Gayus**
Huh?
**[05:51] Largonkin**
I'm serious.
**[05:53] Largonkin**
I'm more interested in
you two than you think.
**[05:59] Gayus**
Sorry, Largonkin, but we like this
**[06:01] ---**
master-and-his-pet arrangement we have now.
**[06:04] Gigina**
I agree with the pet over there.
**[06:08] Largonkin**
Am I not good enough to replace Diorg?
**[06:12] Gayus**
Largonkin!
**[06:15] Largonkin**
My apologies.
**[06:17] Largonkin**
Forget I said that.
**[06:20] Largonkin**
Oh, one thing.
**[06:23] Largonkin**
An acquaintance apparently
saw Cuello in Eridana.
**[06:27] Largonkin**
I thought I should let you know.
**[06:33] Gayus**
Why is Cuello here?
**[06:37] Vinnel**
* About the Aurora Hammer*
* research you've requested...*
**[06:40] Vinnel**
*It's quite dangerous.*
**[06:42] Vinnel**
* There's a former Rahzel*
* employee named Parumuwei*
**[06:46] Vinnel**
*who currently sells weapons in Eridana.*
**[06:49] Vinnel**
*Aurora Hammer is in contact with him.*
**[06:55] Gayus**
We just received the same
information from the police.
**[06:58] Gayus**
Are they in Eridana to obtain weapons?
**[07:02] Vinnel**
*That's still hard to say.*
**[07:05] Vinnel**
*I'm still searching for their hideout.*
**[07:08] Vinnel**
* It seems someone up top is*
* keeping control of information.*
**[07:12] Gayus**
Up top?
**[07:13] Gayus**
The police or military or something?
**[07:15] Gigina**
Gayus...
**[07:17] Gigina**
The missing man's on the
other side of the street.
**[07:25] Gayus**
Egurrd.
**[07:39] Egurrd**
So you finally noticed.
**[07:42] Gayus**
That was quite an obvious way to draw us out.
**[07:48] Gigina**
We're getting surrounded a lot today.
**[07:50] Gayus**
The world's just starting to
take notice of my hidden charms.
**[07:55] Gigina**
There are too many.
**[07:56] Gigina**
It's a pain, but should we?
**[07:58] Gayus**
No, wait.
**[07:59] Gayus**
Egurrd, you trapped us without attacking us
**[08:04] ---**
because you have no intention
of killing us, correct?
**[08:08] Egurrd**
The brass will meet with you.
**[08:09] Egurrd**
Come with me.
**[08:13] Gayus**
Egurrd, that's not the right way to ask.
**[08:18] Gayus**
"Please come with me."
**[08:27] Egurrd**
I've brought them with me.
**[08:31] Gohhel**
Welcome, Offensive Jushikiists.
**[08:34] Gohhel**
I'm Lieutenant Colonel Gohhel.
**[08:37] Gohhel**
I'm the director of Dragon's Jaw.
**[08:42] Gayus**
Dragon's Jaw is the special force
**[08:46] ---**
established by Queen Xenobia of Ilm.
**[08:49] Gigina**
No wonder you have the
stench of a military man.
**[08:53] Egurrd**
What?
**[08:54] Gigina**
Only a man who's been in a field battle
**[08:56] ---**
takes a cigarette out of
the bottom of the case.
**[08:59] Gayus**
You should have told me sooner.
**[09:02] Gigina**
You didn't notice? You idiot.
**[09:05] Gohhel**
By the way, there's a reason
we revealed our hand.
**[09:09] Gohhel**
We want you to refrain from
**[09:11] ---**
any further involvement with
Rahzel Company or the Aurora Hammer.
**[09:16] Gohhel**
Our mission is to eliminate the hostile
activities against the Dragon Empire.
**[09:20] Gohhel**
We can't have amateurs getting in our way.
**[09:24] Gohhel**
I hope you understand.
**[09:25] Gayus**
I don't.
**[09:27] Gayus**
Aurora Hammer is intent on taking
down the dictatorship in Urmun.
**[09:32] Gayus**
Dochetta is a thorn even
for the Dragon Empire.
**[09:36] Gayus**
So though the Dragon Empire
might have cause to assist them,
**[09:39] ---**
you have no reason to defeat them.
**[09:41] Gigina**
It is indeed an odd request.
**[09:45] Gayus**
If there *was* a reason,
**[09:48] ---**
it would be because Viscount Remedius
joined the Aurora Hammer.
**[09:54] Gohhel**
Wait.
**[09:59] Gohhel**
You're right.
**[10:00] Gohhel**
The viscount has come to
sympathize with the Aurora Front
**[10:04] ---**
after seeing the misery
in Urmun as a hostage.
**[10:08] Gohhel**
And to make matters worse...
**[10:09] Egurrd**
Colonel!
**[10:13] Egurrd**
As soon as it was learned
that Party Leader Zemunn
**[10:14] ---**
had started moving towards
reconciliation with Dochetta,
**[10:18] ---**
they joined forces with a man named
Zhuo Lu and got rid of of Zemunn,
**[10:21] ---**
creating an even more extreme
organization known as the Aurora Hammer.
**[10:26] Gayus**
A hostage took over an
anti-government organization?
**[10:29] Egurrd**
The viscount is Tsevellen.
**[10:32] ---**
At this rate, it could be perceived
**[10:34] ---**
that the Dragon Empire is meddling
in the internal affairs of Urmun.
**[10:37] Gayus**
I see.
**[10:39] Gayus**
The raid during the hostage
exchange was a distraction.
**[10:42] Gayus**
Your real goal was the assassination
of Viscount Remedius.
**[10:46] Egurrd**
That hostage exchange itself
**[10:49] ---**
was nothing but a show put on by
Viscount Remedius to secure funds.
**[10:53] Egurrd**
We simply took advantage of that.
**[10:55] Gigina**
Did you put poison in the identifier device?
**[11:00] Egurrd**
We thought we could take the opportunity
to destroy Aurora Hammer itself.
**[11:06] Gohhel**
You understand now, do you not?
**[11:08] Gohhel**
Let us deal with it from here.
**[11:11] Gohhel**
This isn't a request.
**[11:13] Gohhel**
It's an order.
**[11:15] Egurrd**
To be clear, even if Calpulnia makes
a tearful request for your help,
**[11:19] ---**
you have no need to oblige.
**[11:23] Gohhel**
That's all I have to say.
**[11:25] Gohhel**
Please don't forget that you're
dealing with the government.
**[11:42] Parumuwei**
That comes to 1,023,420,000 yen.
**[11:47] Parumuwei**
Thank you very much.
**[11:49] Zhuo Lu**
I'm impressed you hid all this, Parumuwei.
**[11:53] Zhuo Lu**
I've heard that you're a
former Rahzel employee.
**[11:56] Parumuwei**
Yes, actually.
**[11:58] Parumuwei**
But how do you intend to
transport all of this?
**[12:03] Zhuo Lu**
That's none of your business.
**[12:09] Parumuwei**
S-Say, um...
**[12:12] Parumuwei**
Are you really going to buy this?
**[12:15] Parumuwei**
If you don't mind me saying,
it's incomplete.
**[12:20] Parumuwei**
Even Rahzel and the military abandoned it.
**[12:24] Zhuo Lu**
I don't care.
**[12:25] Parumuwei**
You don't plan on using it, do you?
**[12:28] Parumuwei**
It's intended to be no more than a threat.
**[12:30] Parumuwei**
Besides, the composition shiki needs
to be completed in order to use it.
**[12:37] Parumuwei**
No...
**[12:38] Parumuwei**
Impossible...
**[12:40] Parumuwei**
You're...
**[12:48] (Flashback) Dochetta**
You look like you don't know
why you've been captured,
**[12:53] (Flashback) ---**
Viscount Remedius Levvi Rahzel.
**[12:58] (Flashback) Naricia**
You murderer!
**[13:01] (Flashback) Dochetta**
Looks like you've still got some life in you.
**[13:03] (Flashback) Dochetta**
It seems the Dragon Empire royalty
has a taste for wild kittens.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Remedius**
Dochetta, what you're doing is wrong!
**[13:17] (Flashback) Dochetta**
And?
**[13:19] (Flashback) Dochetta**
What have you seen with your eyes?
**[13:22] (Flashback) Dochetta**
Fool.
**[13:24] (Flashback) Dochetta**
No high-minded ideals or justice
can save this nation anymore.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Dochetta**
I'll answer your question.
**[13:33] (Flashback) Dochetta**
You're a pestilence, Remedius.
**[13:37] (Flashback) Dochetta**
I'm not the only one who thinks so.
**[13:42] (Flashback) Dochetta**
I'll give you a special punishment.
**[13:45] (Flashback) Dochetta**
Die in the worst pain ever...
**[13:48] (Flashback) ---**
In despair!
**[14:00] Zhuo Lu**
Remedius no longer exists.
**[14:10] Jiv**
Just shut up and have a seat.
**[14:12] Jiv**
First, accounting.
**[14:14] Jiv**
This is practically a kid's allowance book.
**[14:16] Jiv**
You waste too much money.
**[14:19] Jiv**
Next, you're both grown-ups,
**[14:22] ---**
so at least pretend to be on
good terms while you're working.
**[14:27] Jiv**
Jeez, do the two of you
never see eye to eye?
**[14:31] Gayus**
Nope.
**[14:34] Jiv**
Just shake hands and make up.
**[14:37] Gayus**
Huh? But I haven't fought with Gigina today.
**[14:40] Jiv**
Then for the other day.
**[14:46] Jiv**
Do it properly.
**[14:47] Gigina**
This is a Draken handshake.
**[14:49] Gayus**
That's right.
**[14:51] Gayus**
You do say the right thing
every so often, Gigina.
**[14:55] Jiv**
This isn't the right time
to agree on something!
**[14:59] Jiv**
There! Well done.
**[15:02] Jiv**
Oh dear, look at the time.
**[15:04] Jiv**
I have to get to work.
**[15:06] Gayus**
Huh? I thought you had the day off.
**[15:09] Jiv**
My boss and I are going to
Rahzel Company tomorrow.
**[15:13] Jiv**
We have a meeting about that.
**[15:15] Jiv**
I'll be back for lunch.
**[15:17] Gayus**
Rahzel?
**[15:18] Gayus**
You're going to that island?
**[15:20] Jiv**
Yeah.
**[15:21] Jiv**
I'm kind of looking forward to it.
**[15:23] Jiv**
See you at our usual park this afternoon.
**[15:26] Gayus**
Okay.
**[15:27] Jiv**
And be sure to bring Mr. Gigina.
**[15:30] Jiv**
Bye.
**[15:33] Gigina**
You have it quite rough.
**[15:38] Gayus**
Rahzel Company's gem supplement ring,
**[15:40] Gayus**
the Remetogen IV!
**[15:46] Jabeira**
I said no!
**[15:47] Jabeira**
You don't need it in battle, and it's
not covered under work expenses.
**[15:51] Jabeira**
No wasting money.
**[15:55] Gayus**
It's Jabeira.
**[15:58] Jabeira**
Well, if it isn't Gayus.
**[16:01] Jabeira**
Be cursed on the occasion of
this coincidence, you bastard.
**[16:04] Iegie**
Jabeira, your personality
changed mid-sentence.
**[16:10] Jabeira**
You're so nitpicky, Iegie.
**[16:12] Jabeira**
Either way, I ain't allowing that purchase.
**[16:17] Jabeira**
Is that guard ornament furniture
craftsman Toldam's Lion Tooth?
**[16:22] Iegie**
You're pretty well-versed,
for an uncultured Draken.
**[16:25] Iegie**
Do you know which period it's from?
**[16:29] Gigina**
Middle.
**[16:30] Gigina**
In fact, it's from when he was
working with painter Iem Adder.
**[16:35] Gigina**
It's an exceedingly rare piece.
**[16:40] Jabeira**
We both have it rough, huh, nyoro?
**[16:43] Gayus**
You two seem to be doing well, though.
**[16:47] Gayus**
You seem to be happy.
**[16:48] Jabeira**
Are you not happy?
**[16:53] Jabeira**
Well, our agency is like family.
**[16:56] Jabeira**
I divorced my husband and
got fired from my job.
**[16:58] Jabeira**
I had nowhere to go when
Chief Largonkin took me in.
**[17:03] Jabeira**
Iegie's story is similar.
**[17:06] Jabeira**
He adores Chief Largonkin like a father.
**[17:09] Gayus**
Family, huh?
**[17:11] Jabeira**
It's not bad, pyon!
**[17:14] Jabeira**
Iegie, you'll lose money
on that trade, nyoro!
**[17:18] Rolca**
There. Repairs are all done.
**[17:21] Rolca**
Damn, you went all-out
**[17:25] ---**
with seventh-order Jushiki on this thing.
**[17:27] Rolca**
Of course it broke down.
**[17:29] Gayus**
You swapped the engine chamber
out with a Rahzel one, huh?
**[17:32] Rolca**
Yeah, are you upset?
**[17:35] Gayus**
No, good job.
**[17:40] Rolca**
Now, hand over that Majouken.
**[17:43] Gayus**
Isn't that...
**[17:45] Rolca**
You had a part in the Magatsushiki
incident, didn't you?
**[17:50] Rolca**
This is an early investment.
**[17:51] Rolca**
A temporary rental.
**[17:53] Gayus**
Are you sure?
**[17:54] Rolca**
Just don't die on me.
**[17:56] Rolca**
I'll lose out on the tab.
**[17:58] Rolca**
Besides...
**[17:59] Gayus**
What?
**[18:01] Rolca**
Let's talk inside.
**[18:04] Rolca**
Gayus, where did you find this?
**[18:08] Gayus**
It's a rotten gift left
behind by a man I despise.
**[18:11] Gayus**
Apparently it's called an Eye of the Cosmos.
**[18:14] Rolca**
Eye of the Cosmos?
**[18:16] Gayus**
And the results of the analysis?
**[18:19] Rolca**
I didn't find much, but this carving is made
**[18:23] ---**
from the scales of a dragon that's
been alive for over 10,000 years.
**[18:28] Gayus**
Ten thousand years?
**[18:29] Gayus**
That's way more than a 1,000-year class Altar.
**[18:32] Rolca**
Yeah, this dragon far outranks that.
**[18:36] Rolca**
I've tried running this red rock
**[18:37] ---**
through all kinds of analysis equipment,
but it's unidentifiable.
**[18:41] Rolca**
Though there was a report that something's
been seen pulsating within the gem.
**[18:46] Gayus**
What do you mean?
**[18:47] Rolca**
Put simply, this ring is alive.
**[18:52] Gayus**
Alive?
**[18:54] Rolca**
I say this for your sake.
**[18:55] Rolca**
You ought to give this
back to that man you hate.
**[19:05] Person**
Good for you.
**[19:10] Jiv**
It's so peaceful.
**[19:12] Gayus**
Yeah.
**[19:13] Jiv**
Maybe I should have bought
some for Gigina, too.
**[19:17] Gayus**
He says he doesn't want any.
**[19:20] Gayus**
Don't mind him.
**[19:21] Jiv**
I know, but...
**[19:26] Gayus**
Jiv...
**[19:28] Largonkin**
Gayus. What a coincidence.
**[19:30] Gayus**
Largonkin.
**[19:33] Largonkin**
Jivenya, was it?
**[19:35] Largonkin**
What a nice lady.
**[19:36] Gayus**
Yeah, she's a great woman.
**[19:39] Largonkin**
Do you not have plans to
start a family with her?
**[19:42] Largonkin**
Family is great.
**[19:44] Gayus**
I'm not like you.
**[19:48] Gayus**
I don't know when I might die
in my line of work.
**[19:50] Gayus**
I live desperately.
**[19:53] Gayus**
A happy life seems like nothing
but far-off make-believe.
**[19:58] Largonkin**
You're so young.
**[20:01] Largonkin**
Forget about Cuello already.
**[20:04] Gayus**
Largonkin!
**[20:09] Gayus**
Diorg is dead.
**[20:11] Gayus**
Stratos is without a soul.
**[20:15] Gayus**
Cuello is gone.
**[20:17] Gayus**
Gigina and I were left with the agency.
**[20:20] Gayus**
That's all.
**[20:31] Largonkin**
Looks like another Magatsushiki showed up.
**[20:33] Gayus**
Gigina.
**[20:34] Largonkin**
You don't need to come.
**[20:37] Largonkin**
You won't be useful in your current state.
**[20:52] Gayus**
You smell nice.
**[20:54] Gayus**
Desire No. 9 by Algamon?
**[20:58] Jiv**
I don't trust men who
know a lot about perfume.
**[21:02] Jiv**
Doesn't that mean...
**[21:06] Gayus**
It's a requirement of a kind man.
**[21:17] Person**
*I see.*
**[21:21] ---**
*I'm...*
**[21:28] Gigina**
I was thinking about the past.
**[21:32] Gigina**
There was a time that I
considered myself happy,
**[21:35] ---**
when I had people I could call friends.
**[21:38] Gigina**
I'd forgotten until today.
**[21:40] Gigina**
No, I think I wanted to forget.
**[21:46] Person**
Why?
**[21:48] Gigina**
I don't care to answer my prey's questions.
**[21:53] Gigina**
*Cuello... Where did we go wrong?*
**[22:02] Gayus**
Jiv, what's wrong?
**[22:04] Jiv**
What did Largonkin tell you earlier today?
**[22:09] Gayus**
Nothing.
**[22:11] Gayus**
We were just talking about
silly stuff from the past.
**[22:13] Jiv**
It was about that Cuello person, wasn't it?
**[22:15] Jiv**
The person who used to wear
Desire No. 9 before I did.
**[22:18] Jiv**
You called me Cuello in your sleep, Gayus.
**[22:24] Gayus**
Jiv, that's...
**[22:26] Jiv**
Why?
**[22:27] Jiv**
Why won't you look at the here and now? At me?
**[22:31] Jiv**
What are you really looking at?
**[22:33] Jiv**
Is it something we can't share?
**[22:36] Jiv**
Is it something you can share with Gigina?
**[22:38] Jiv**
Or with this Cuello person?
**[22:40] Gayus**
Jiv...
**[22:44] Jiv**
Go home for the night.
**[22:45] Jiv**
Please.
**[22:51] Gayus**
*Badass.*
**[22:53] Gayus**
*You're a real badass, Gayus.*
**[22:54] Gayus**
* You get a few old scars dug up,*
* and look at you now.*
**[22:59] Gayus**
*No matter how hard I try to forget,*
**[23:02] ---**
*my past is still there,*
**[23:05] ---**
*questioning me.*
**[23:08] Gayus**
*Asking if I made the right choice.*
**[23:11] Gayus**
*Damn it.*
**[23:14] Gayus**
*You're so badass, Gayus.*
**[23:18] Gayus**
*You might as well die.*
**[23:32] Person**
I see.
**[23:33] Person**
Well done.
**[23:37] Person**
I can't help but hate myself
on nights like these.
**[23:50] Gayus**
A kind angel flies into the sky,
trying to save the earth.
**[23:54] Gayus**
Because they flew at a height
that people could reach,
**[23:56] ---**
the angel of salvation's wings and
flesh became the people's desire,
**[24:00] ---**
until there wasn't a single feather left.

**[00:08] Jiv**
It's morning...
**[00:17] Jiv**
I have to go to work.
***SIGN*** Revelation of Malice
**[01:59] Yahkto**
I'm impressed you can eat
so much in the morning.
**[02:03] Gigina**
One wouldn't be a proper Offensive
Jushikiist if they couldn't eat this much.
**[02:09] Largonkin**
That's encouraging.
**[02:10] Largonkin**
I used to eat as much as you do.
**[02:16] Gayus**
So...
**[02:17] Gayus**
You didn't call us here just to
have breakfast with us, did you?
**[02:21] Largonkin**
I'm sure you remember,
**[02:24] ---**
but today's the third day that
the Great Magatsushiki promised.
**[02:29] Yahkto**
These are the spots where the Magatsushiki
have emerged in the past month.
**[02:36] Gayus**
They're scattered everywhere.
**[02:37] Yahkto**
Yes.
**[02:38] Yahkto**
So we expanded our investigation
to all similar incidents
**[02:42] ---**
in the past six months.
**[02:45] Gayus**
All this?
**[02:46] Yahkto**
Not all of them are,
**[02:48] ---**
but we ought to assume that the evening party
has been in preparation for quite a while.
**[02:54] Largonkin**
Either way, it's a certainty that we'll
be fighting those two Great Magatsushiki.
**[02:59] Gayus**
But without knowing anything about
the purpose of the evening party,
**[03:03] ---**
or the Jushiki they'll be using,
there's nothing we can do.
**[03:05] Gayus**
What makes the Magatsushiki such a bother
**[03:08] ---**
is that each one has unique
characteristics and abilities.
**[03:13] Gayus**
It's hard to come up with a plan.
**[03:16] Yahkto**
We'd hypothesized in the past
**[03:19] ---**
that the Magatsushiki's very existence
is itself a kind of Jushiki.
**[03:22] Yahkto**
It seems that that was correct.
**[03:24] Yahkto**
They're believed to have originated from
somewhere in high-dimensional phase space,
**[03:28] ---**
the fundamental principle of Jushiki.
**[03:33] Gigina**
They aren't creatures from our dimension?
**[03:37] Yahkto**
For them to appear in our world,
**[03:41] ---**
they need to use something
from our world as a medium.
**[03:46] Largonkin**
In other words, they're using something
or creature from our world as a medium.
**[03:58] Ampura**
Baron Janahn Ghalan,
**[04:00] ---**
this so-called "food" is quite fascinating.
**[04:07] Janahn Ghalan**
Whether it's steel or stone,
I couldn't tell the difference.
**[04:12] Ampura**
Could we not be more quiet at the table?
**[04:18] Ampura**
Sit down.
**[04:20] Ampura**
We aren't here to fight you.
**[04:23] Ampura**
Now that we've begun the evening party,
we won't defy the rules.
**[04:30] Yahkto**
As entities of information,
rules are absolute to them.
**[04:34] Largonkin**
All right.
**[04:36] Ampura**
I heard what you said.
**[04:39] Ampura**
It seems you still haven't figured
out the purpose of the evening party.
**[04:47] Ampura**
I'll give you a hint.
**[04:49] Ampura**
The party itself is a giant Jushiki curse.
**[04:53] Ampura**
If you want to stop the party,
you'll have to defeat the caller.
**[04:58] Gayus**
The caller?
**[04:59] Gayus**
Someone summoned you?
**[05:02] Gayus**
Who?
**[05:03] Ampura**
I can't answer that question.
**[05:06] Janahn Ghalan**
We aren't yet the masters
of our own destinies, either.
**[05:10] Ampura**
The first move is to see
through the law of the party.
**[05:16] Ampura**
Therein lies your hell and your answers.
**[05:24] Ampura**
Oh, right.
**[05:25] Ampura**
Hold on tightly to the Eye
of the Cosmos that you hold.
**[05:36] Largonkin**
Iegie.
**[05:37] Largonkin**
Get Jabeira.
**[05:39] Largonkin**
The Great Magatsushiki appeared.
**[05:40] Largonkin**
We're meeting up immediately.
**[05:44] Gigina**
Shall we go after them?
**[05:46] Gayus**
No.
**[05:49] Vinnel**
*I have urgent information.*
**[05:50] Vinnel**
*How much do you want it for?*
**[05:54] Vinnel**
*I've located the Aurora Hammer's hideout.*
**[05:57] Vinnel**
*The weapons dealer Parumuwei tipped me off.*
**[06:00] Vinnel**
*Of course, by last night, he was a corpse.*
**[06:06] Gayus**
We're here.
**[06:13] Gayus**
Wait.
**[06:14] Gayus**
There might be some traps.
**[06:15] Gigina**
I used Agane.
**[06:17] Gigina**
We're fine.
**[06:18] Gayus**
No, not even a dog can
sniff out a sealed bomb.
**[06:24] Gigina**
I don't smell humans at all through that door.
**[06:27] Gigina**
That's good enough.
**[06:31] Gigina**
Hurry up.
**[06:33] Gigina**
There's a Draken saying that dragons
feast on the slowest one's ass.
**[06:37] Gayus**
There's someone here
**[06:39] ---**
who ought to go meet his fiancée
with as much haste as he speaks of.
**[06:46] Gayus**
We should get going.
**[07:03] Gayus**
Egurrd.
**[07:05] Gohhel**
Why are you here?
**[07:09] Gohhel**
Were you not prohibited from being
further involved in this situation?
**[07:15] Gayus**
Why should I care?
**[07:16] Gayus**
We don't take orders from Dragon's Jaw.
**[07:19] Gigina**
This encounter is more than a coincidence.
**[07:27] Gayus**
What the hell?
**[07:33] Gigina**
Viscount Remedius.
**[07:35] Zhuo Lu**
Thank you, everyone, for your warm welcome.
**[07:42] Eggurd**
Zhuo Lu.
**[07:44] Zhuo Lu**
There's no point in attacking a
three-dimensional optical display.
**[07:55] Zhuo Lu**
Poor Remedius.
**[07:58] Zhuo Lu**
You were the closest thing to me.
**[08:03] Zhuo Lu**
I invited you here to pass
on the words of Remedius.
**[08:09] Eggurd**
His words, you say?
**[08:10] Zhuo Lu**
His death was inevitable.
**[08:13] Zhuo Lu**
Why do you think that is?
**[08:15] Gohhel**
Don't say it!
**[08:16] Zhuo Lu**
Don't say it?
**[08:18] Zhuo Lu**
The truth that the anti-government
organization, the Aurora Front,
**[08:23] ---**
which later became the foundation
of the Aurora Hammer,
**[08:25] ---**
was in fact created by the Dragon Empire?
**[08:28] Gayus**
That's serious foreign interference
in domestic affairs.
**[08:31] Gigina**
The attack during the hostage exchange
**[08:34] ---**
was actually an attempt to cover up
the Dragon Empire's own scandal.
**[08:39] Gayus**
No, that's not it.
**[08:42] Gayus**
If the Dragon Empire was plotting the
overturning of the Dochetta administration,
**[08:46] ---**
Viscount Remedius and the Aurora Hammer
would have indeed been helpful.
**[08:52] Gayus**
The viscount was a civilian,
**[08:54] ---**
which made it possible for him
to hide the empire's scent.
**[08:57] Gayus**
It makes no sense to want to eliminate him.
**[09:04] Zhuo Lu**
Why did the late Remedius
**[09:06] ---**
despise the Dragon Empire and
Rahzel so much that he'd risk his life?
**[09:10] Zhuo Lu**
Why could Dragon's Jaw not explain that?
**[09:14] Zhuo Lu**
That is what you should investigate.
**[09:16] Zhuo Lu**
Dragon's Jaw should know the reason.
**[09:20] Zhuo Lu**
Listen to Remedius's words.
**[09:23] Zhuo Lu**
Feel extreme hatred.
**[09:30] Remedius**
* By the time you watch this recording,*
* I will already be dead.*
**[09:36] Remedius**
* But if it's to acquire the*
* twin Jushiki warheads,*
**[09:40] ---**
*I'll offer my life.*
**[09:43] Remedius**
*The Jushiki that was born of my research,*
**[09:46] ---**
* never to be initialized by anyone*
* before it was sealed away.*
**[09:49] Remedius**
*The Jushiki of Ava Dorn.*
**[09:52] Remedius**
* I assembled an initialization*
* Jushiki that was incomplete.*
**[09:56] Remedius**
* In order to initiate it, it requires the*
* Jushiki power of several dozen people,*
**[10:00] ---**
* as well as computational and Jushiki*
* power comparable an Altar's.*
**[10:04] Remedius**
*It's prepared.*
**[10:06] Remedius**
*Ava Dorn...*
**[10:08] ---**
* The Jushiki weapon that connects*
* the other world to this world.*
**[10:12] Remedius**
*There are two warheads.*
**[10:14] Remedius**
*They will be detonated at high noon today.*
**[10:17] Remedius**
*Their target is Rahzel Island.*
**[10:20] Remedius**
*This is a warning.*
**[10:22] Remedius**
* The Dragon Empire will halt*
* Jushiki weapon exports immediately.*
**[10:27] Remedius**
* This message is being sent simultaneously*
* to Eridana City and the Empire.*
**[10:32] Remedius**
* But should even one person*
* try to escape the island,*
**[10:35] ---**
*the warheads will detonate that very instant.*
**[10:38] Remedius**
* The worst betrayal in the world,*
* the worst backstabbing...*
**[10:43] Remedius**
*I pronounce to Rahzel Company:*
**[10:46] Remedius**
*Die. Die.*
**[10:49] Remedius**
*Die. Die. Die. Die. Die.*
**[11:09] Remedius**
*Die... Die... Die... Die... Die...*
**[11:37] Remedius**
*Go to hell!*
**[11:40] Remedius**
*That alone is my wish.*
**[11:43] Remedius**
* Taste the hell that I've*
* passed on to Zhuo Lu!*
**[11:47] Remedius**
* You at Rahzel Company will receive*
* the despair and suffering*
**[11:51] ---**
*that Naricia endured.*
**[11:59] Zhuo Lu**
What now?
**[12:01] Zhuo Lu**
There's no time.
**[12:03] Zhuo Lu**
Remedius's curse will
obliterate Rahzel in just...
**[12:08] Gigina**
Get out!
**[12:09] Gayus**
Gigina...
**[12:12] Gayus**
That island...
**[12:13] Gayus**
Rahzel Company...
**[12:14] Gayus**
Jiv's there!
**[12:23] Jiv**
*Jivenya here.*
**[12:25] Jiv**
*I'm at Rahzel Company right now.*
**[12:28] Jiv**
*If you need anything...*
**[12:30] Gigina**
It won't make a difference
how many times you call her.
**[12:32] Gigina**
If your woman's on that island,
leaving a message...
**[12:35] Gayus**
I know!
**[12:37] Gayus**
Everyone on that island is a hostage.
**[12:39] Gayus**
Shit!
**[12:41] Gayus**
Why does this happen?
**[12:43] Gayus**
Why do I always...
**[12:44] Gigina**
Stop, Gayus.
**[12:45] Gayus**
I'm like a gear of hell.
**[12:48] Gayus**
I get sucked in and sent to doom.
**[12:51] Gayus**
I make what I think are the best decisions
and end up with the worst results.
**[12:54] Gigina**
Gayus!
**[12:58] Gigina**
I'm not as good with words as you are.
**[13:02] Gigina**
But the past, including all of my decisions,
**[13:07] ---**
are my flesh and blood.
**[13:09] Gigina**
I can't pretend I didn't exist now.
**[13:12] Gayus**
That's way too trivialized.
**[13:14] Gigina**
I'm sure.
**[13:16] Gayus**
Gigina...
**[13:17] Gayus**
What would you do?
**[13:19] Gigina**
Speaking as a Draken, so long as there's
a battle in front of me, I will face it.
**[13:25] Gigina**
Speaking as myself, I'll repay my debts.
**[13:29] Gigina**
That's all.
**[13:32] Gayus**
Yeah.
**[13:34] Gayus**
Let's repay our debts.
**[13:37] Yahkto**
This is a top-secret experiment on
the seventh-order metatheorem Jushiki,
**[13:44] ---**
Ava Dorn, that was conducted
thirteen years ago.
**[13:47] Iegie**
Seriously?
**[13:49] Jabeira**
They put a hole in the dimensions?
**[13:51] Yahkto**
The problem is what happens next.
**[13:54] Yahkto**
From enormous computational capacity...
**[13:57] Yahkto**
This is the Magatsushiki world.
**[13:59] Yahkto**
From the pits of chaos,
**[14:03] ---**
these wretched plague demons were summoned.
**[14:07] Yahkto**
They're simple creatures, not even
worthy of being called Magatsushiki,
**[14:11] ---**
but that makes them all the more terrifying.
**[14:13] Iegie**
No, this can't be...
**[14:20] Yahkto**
Fifty-eight seconds after
the initial plague demon infection,
**[14:23] ---**
its Jushiki causes cell death.
**[14:27] Yahkto**
Then, after 113 seconds, the victim
begins bleeding from every bodily orifice,
**[14:31] ---**
falling into a coma.
**[14:34] Yahkto**
Finally, 137 seconds after infection,
the victim dies.
**[14:37] Yahkto**
There are no treatments.
**[14:40] Yahkto**
The fatality rate is 100 percent.
**[14:45] Yahkto**
Ava Dorn has an effective radius
of roughly six hundred merters.
**[14:50] Yahkto**
If it were to be detonated
above Rahzel Island...
**[14:55] Largonkin**
Say it.
**[14:57] Yahkto**
All 1,205 people on the island
**[15:00] ---**
would die after enduring hellish suffering.
**[15:05] Baylick**
Rahzel Company's facilities
**[15:08] ---**
are currently undergoing evacuations
to outside of the city
**[15:11] ---**
under the pretense of emergency training.
**[15:14] Gayus**
Then the island...
**[15:15] Gayus**
We need to at least contact them
and determine a response.
**[15:18] Baylick**
All communication and transportation
to the island has just been cut off.
**[15:23] Baylick**
Mayor's orders.
**[15:24] Baylick**
We police have no option
but to oblige, either.
**[15:27] Gayus**
So we're going to just abandon them?
**[15:31] Iegie**
We just need to hit it before
the Jushiki warheads are launched, right?
**[15:35] Jabeira**
No one would be sitting here
if we knew where they were.
**[15:40] Largonkin**
But that's the only way to save them.
**[15:46] Largonkin**
Two hours until detonation.
**[15:55] Gayus**
I don't know where you get the nerve to
just sit on a chair during such a crisis.
**[16:01] Gigina**
It's *because* we're in such a crisis.
**[16:04] Gayus**
It looks like the staff evacuation
is going well, at least.
**[16:09] Gigina**
You could do a lot of smuggling right now.
**[16:14] Gigina**
There's a specialist electromagnetics
Jushikiist jamming it.
**[16:17] Gigina**
You won't get through.
**[16:19] Jiv**
*What's wrong, Gayus?*
**[16:21] Jiv**
*I've been getting a lot of messages.*
**[16:23] Gayus**
Jiv!
**[16:23] Gayus**
Where are you right now?
**[16:25] Jiv**
Where?
**[16:26] Jiv**
At Rahzel Island. Why?
**[16:28] Jiv**
Is something wrong?
**[16:29] Jiv**
Oh yeah, there's been some fuss about
people not being able to connect.
**[16:34] Gayus**
Jiv...
**[16:35] Jiv**
*What?*
**[16:36] Gayus**
Sorry about yesterday.
**[16:40] Jiv**
*No, I was being a terrible girlfriend, too.*
**[16:43] Gayus**
Jiv...
**[16:46] Jiv**
*What? What's wrong?*
**[16:49] Gayus**
Jiv...
**[16:55] Gayus**
Just give me a moment.
**[16:58] Gayus**
Gigina.
**[17:00] Gayus**
Couldn't we save Jiv with your flight Jushiki?
**[17:04] Gigina**
It's possible.
**[17:06] Gigina**
But...
**[17:07] Gayus**
Please!
**[17:12] Gigina**
Are you serious?
**[17:15] Gayus**
Yeah.
**[17:19] Gigina**
I'll tell you one of the
greatest of Draken sayings.
**[17:23] Gigina**
"No one can tell apart
**[17:26] ---**
what comes out of one's mouth or asshole."
**[17:31] Gigina**
Don't accept the late Remedius's curse.
**[17:35] Gigina**
It's no different than a pile
of dog shit on the roadside to us.
**[17:39] Gigina**
And you must never accept
the death of your woman.
**[17:47] Gayus**
Jiv, I want to apologize to you in person.
**[17:51] Jiv**
*What's gotten into you, Gayus?*
**[17:53] Jiv**
*You're acting weird today.*
**[17:55] Gayus**
Let's eat out next Sunday.
**[17:58] Gayus**
I found a place that serves delicious crab.
**[18:01] Gayus**
Promise me, please, that you'll go.
**[18:05] Jiv**
*I don't mind, Gayus, but...*
**[18:10] Gigina**
Are you sure?
**[18:11] Gayus**
Yeah.
**[18:12] Gayus**
I don't care who I'm up against.
**[18:14] Gayus**
I'm going to win this fight.
**[18:18] Gayus**
*First, assuming the late chells*
**[18:22] ---**
*master Remedius set up a perfect board...*
**[18:26] Gayus**
*There are two Jushiki warheads.*
**[18:29] Gayus**
* The question is what the*
* detonation condition is.*
**[18:32] Gayus**
* The Jushiki power of a large*
* number of people, Jushiki power*
**[18:34] ---**
* and computational capacity*
* comparable to that of an Altar,*
**[18:37] ---**
*which could be the core of alchemy Jushiki...*
**[18:40] Gayus**
*Two keys to open two warheads...*
**[18:44] Gayus**
* The equation for completing*
* the demon's Jushiki...*
**[18:50] Gayus**
No, wait.
**[18:53] Gayus**
That's right.
**[18:54] Gayus**
I got it.
**[18:56] Gayus**
I know the final scene of this
ridiculously silly incident.
**[19:01] Gayus**
It was Remedius that summoned
Amupura and Janahn Ghalan.
**[19:06] Gayus**
He controls the Great Magatsushiki
**[19:08] ---**
and gathered enough people's Jushiki
**[19:10] ---**
to initialize the Jushiki warheads.
**[19:13] Gayus**
And in the final act,
**[19:15] ---**
the Great Magatsushiki
themselves become the core,
**[19:17] ---**
contributing to the warheads'
detonation conditions.
**[19:21] Gayus**
They called this order of
events "the evening party."
**[19:24] Jabeira**
So the Ava Dorn is really...
**[19:27] Gayus**
If we don't find and destroy the warheads,
**[19:30] ---**
their initiation is inevitable.
**[19:32] Gayus**
But there was one thing that even the
genius Remedius couldn't control.
**[19:37] Gayus**
That was the will of the Great Magatsushiki.
**[19:41] Gayus**
They want to fight us in the
evening party for the sake
**[19:45] ---**
of their own entertainment.
**[19:47] Gayus**
That's why they left us with a hint.
**[19:52] Iegie**
The locations of the Magatsushiki emergence?
**[19:54] Iegie**
What about them?
**[19:56] Gayus**
Human-faced Magatsushiki
appeared at Boshor Point.
**[19:59] Gayus**
Giant fangs at the dental clinic.
**[20:02] Gayus**
At Largonkin's office,
Deacon Sarvey and a model castle.
**[20:06] Gayus**
At the zoo, an elephant.
**[20:07] Gayus**
At the storage facility, a large bird.
**[20:10] Largonkin**
That's right.
**[20:11] Largonkin**
That makes sense.
**[20:12] Largonkin**
I'm starting to get it, too.
**[20:14] Gayus**
Yeah.
**[20:15] Gayus**
The Magatsushiki emergences
had a certain set of rules.
**[20:20] Iegie**
Rules?
**[20:21] Iegie**
What rules?
**[20:27] (Flashback) Remedius**
When the pawn makes it to here,
it becomes a dragon piece.
**[20:31] (Flashback) Remedius**
The key to winning the match
**[20:34] (Flashback) ---**
is to make the most powerful dragon.
**[20:36] (Flashback) Mouldeen**
I've heard that you've memorized
every game you've played to date.
**[20:41] (Flashback) Mouldeen**
Is that true?
**[20:43] (Flashback) Remedius**
Yes.
**[20:44] (Flashback) Remedius**
Not only every move I've played,
**[20:46] (Flashback) ---**
but I remember, in detail,
everything I've seen, heard, or felt.
**[20:54] (Flashback) Mouldeen**
That's a tragedy.
**[20:57] Mouldeen**
*Indeed, that's a tragedy.*
**[21:02] Mouldeen**
You've abandoned humanity and
become a dragon, Remedius.
**[21:08] Gayus**
The old chells pieces looked
different from how they do now.
**[21:14] Gayus**
For example, the bishops we use now
**[21:17] ---**
used to be fangs and elephants.
**[21:19] Gayus**
The castle used to be a ship or a large bird.
**[21:23] Iegie**
I get that the Magatsushiki
were chells pieces,
**[21:27] Iegie**
but how does that indicate the
locations of the Jushiki warheads?
**[21:31] Gayus**
The evening party is an enormous
chells match played out on Eridana.
**[21:35] Gayus**
The pieces—the Magatsushiki—
emerged according to those rules.
**[21:39] Gayus**
And the last move...
**[21:42] Gayus**
It'll be the famous move Remedius used to win
**[21:47] ---**
the continental championship.
**[21:49] Largonkin**
You have the answer, then?
**[21:54] Gayus**
The white king
who will be defeated in battle...
**[21:57] ---**
is here, on Rahzel Island.
**[22:00] Gayus**
And the black dragon piece putting
the other player in check...
**[22:05] ---**
is the Osedek Clock Tower!
**[22:09] Remedius**
There are two warheads.
**[22:11] Remedius**
They will be detonated at high noon today.
**[22:13] Remedius**
Their target is Rahzel Island.
**[23:51] Gayus**
Oh, friend, do not seek eternal paradise.
**[23:55] Gayus**
Drink up the realms of possibility
and set sail into the sea of stars.
**[24:00] Gayus**
For we can never become more than we are.

**[00:10] Gigina**
What a beautiful sky.
**[00:12] Gayus**
Yeah, I guess.
**[00:15] Iegie**
I'm surprised you have the gall to
talk like that in this situation.
**[00:19] Gigina**
Are you scared?
**[00:21] Iegie**
Why would I be?
**[00:22] Jabeira**
Yeah, I'm scared.
**[00:24] Jabeira**
I can't think of how we're
actually going to win.
**[00:26] Iegie**
Do Drakens not feel fear?
**[00:29] Gigina**
We don't fear death as much.
**[00:32] Gigina**
But I don't want to be forced
by fear into making decisions
**[00:36] ---**
that I'm dissatisfied with.
**[00:39] Gigina**
I don't mind dying as a
result of my own choices.
**[00:44] Gigina**
That's why making a decision is a noble act.
**[00:46] Gigina**
What one does and doesn't do
determines their existence.
**[00:52] Largonkin**
That's correct.
**[00:55] Largonkin**
The lives of the 1,200 citizens currently
on Rahzel Island hinge on this battle.
**[01:00] Largonkin**
The enemies are the Great Magatsushiki,
**[01:02] ---**
Janahn Ghalan and Amupura.
**[01:05] Largonkin**
If you want to run, do so now.
**[01:07] Largonkin**
No one will blame you.
**[01:09] Person A**
Chief, we're Offensive Jushikiists.
**[01:12] Largonkin**
Well said.
**[01:13] Largonkin**
Then...
**[01:16] Largonkin**
Let's show them what we're made of.
**[01:19] Largonkin**
Let's send the Magatsushiki away.
**[01:22] Largonkin**
To the depths of hell!
***SIGN*** Guillotine of Spiders • Time of Snakes
**[03:03] Largonkin**
They're coming!
**[03:08] Jabeira**
Go back to the sea of shit in hell!
**[03:18] Gayus**
Make up your mind...
Are you a horse or a knight?
**[03:27] Iegie**
You talk too much.
**[03:28] Iegie**
Keep your mouth shut.
**[03:40] Iegie**
Now it's clear whether
it's a horse or a knight.
**[03:42] Gayus**
Yeah, I guess.
**[03:51] Iegie**
Yo, what the hell is that?
**[03:54] Gayus**
It's the bishop piece.
**[03:55] Gayus**
But this is cheating!
**[04:15] Largonkin**
This is a group tactic.
Don't forget it, Magatsushiki!
**[04:23] Mouldeen**
Remedius Levvi Rahzel.
**[04:25] Mouldeen**
He was indeed a genius.
**[04:28] Curacao**
You've met him before?
**[04:31] Mouldeen**
It was a long time ago.
**[04:32] Mouldeen**
I challenged him on this board once.
**[04:35] Mouldeen**
He won convincingly against me.
**[04:37] Curacao**
You lost?
**[04:38] Mouldeen**
He was one of a kind.
**[04:41] Mouldeen**
If he hadn't been the one to inherit Rahzel...
**[04:47] Mouldeen**
*The decision has already been made.*
**[04:49] Mouldeen**
*But Remedius, your choice...*
**[04:57] Iegie**
They got Weitos.
**[04:59] Iegie**
You piece of shit!
**[05:01] Janahn**
You've finally solved the
riddle and made your way here.
**[05:06] Janahn**
But this wouldn't be a satisfying
end to the evening party.
**[05:10] Janahn**
The air here is stale.
**[05:13] Janahn**
I'm going to dust the place off.
**[05:14] Janahn**
Stand back.
**[05:17] Largonkin**
All retreat!
**[05:30] Largonkin**
Par Ee Mon Jushiki.
**[05:32] Gayus**
And it wove it in an instant.
**[05:35] Gayus**
Its computational ability is off the charts.
**[05:38] Janahn**
Are you not coming?
**[05:40] Janahn**
Then bathe again in the flames of hell.
**[05:44] Gigina**
Amusing.
**[05:50] Janahn**
Well met.
**[05:51] Janahn**
I've been waiting for a hero like you.
**[05:57] Gayus**
Gigina!
**[06:09] Gayus**
Gigina, are you all right?
**[06:11] Janahn**
Welcome to our arena.
**[06:15] Janahn**
Let's make the most of our evening party.
**[06:30] Janahn**
Heroes of hell, fight me!
**[06:34] Baylick**
What in the world is going on?
**[06:36] Baylick**
They can win, can't they?
**[06:39] Baylick**
Tell me they'll win!
**[06:41] Yahkto**
Their current probability of victory is...
**[06:43] Baylick**
No, forget it.
**[06:46] Baylick**
*Please don't let any more people die.*
**[06:53] Janahn**
Iegie!
**[06:54] Iegie**
I guess I'm going to have to change
"Iegie the Dual-Wielder"
**[06:59] ---**
to "Iegie the Lone Sword."
**[07:02] Jabeira**
Be quiet, or you'll make the bleeding worse.
**[07:10] Jabeira**
This is joyous.
**[07:11] Jabeira**
Joyous indeed.
**[07:13] Jabeira**
You're perfectly fit to be prey
for the evening party!
**[07:17] Gayus**
How is his swordsmanship?
**[07:19] Gigina**
People long ago would have suspected
him to be a warrior god.
**[07:23] Gayus**
I have an idea.
**[07:25] Gayus**
Are you in?
**[07:26] Gigina**
I don't trust your personality,
but I trust in your slyness.
**[07:32] Gayus**
Largonkin.
**[07:34] Gayus**
Give me all the cigars you have.
**[07:42] Jabeira**
Pesky tricks...
**[07:47] Gayus**
I have Jiv's and 1,200 other people's
lives at stake!
**[07:51] Gayus**
I don't care about your wannabe warrior talk.
**[07:56] Jabeira**
This is not a place for a weakling like you!
**[07:59] Jabeira**
This is a sacred place of judgment
between sword and shield!
**[08:15] Largonkin**
All attack!
**[08:27] Jabeira**
I-Impressive,
**[08:32] ---**
children of man...
**[08:34] Gigina**
I can't get to like you,
but as a warrior, I didn't hate you.
**[08:50] Gigina**
It wasn't a beautiful victory.
**[08:53] Gayus**
Don't be greedy.
**[08:55] Jabeira**
How did you stop Janahn Ghalan, anyway?
**[08:59] Iegie**
Poison gas Jushiki?
**[09:01] Iegie**
No, that would have been
disabled by that barrier...
**[09:05] Largonkin**
I see. That's why you wanted the cigars.
**[09:07] Gayus**
Bingo.
**[09:09] Gayus**
The chemicals in tobacco used to
be used as a natural insecticide.
**[09:15] Gayus**
Janahn Ghalan's summon mediums were
apparently a human and a spider.
**[09:19] Gayus**
Spiders' respiratory systems aren't
well-equipped to filter out toxins.
**[09:24] Gayus**
Janahn Ghalan inhaled the smoke
without having been accustomed
**[09:27] ---**
to having a physical body.
**[09:30] Gayus**
The burning of cigars is
just a chemical reaction.
**[09:33] Gayus**
His barrier wouldn't respond to it.
**[09:36] Gayus**
It was partly a gamble, but...
**[09:38] Iegie**
Do you always make your
battles so complicated?
**[09:43] Jabeira**
I told you not to talk, dummy.
**[09:45] Largonkin**
You two stay here.
**[09:47] Largonkin**
The rest of us will...
**[09:49] Iegie**
No!
**[09:50] Iegie**
I want to fight with you until the end.
**[09:55] Largonkin**
You're one needy son.
**[09:57] Largonkin**
Take care of him, Jabeira.
**[09:59] Jabeira**
Grandma here is beat.
**[10:01] Jabeira**
You rotten bastards can deal with the rest.
**[10:06] Gigina**
Let's go, Gayus.
**[10:08] Gigina**
There's another freak waiting upstairs.
**[10:31] (Flashback) Naricia**
Remedius...
**[10:33] (Flashback) Naricia**
If I die, you need to eat me...
**[10:39] (Flashback) ---**
so you can survive.
**[10:43] (Flashback) Remedius**
Don't be crazy.
**[10:47] (Flashback) Remedius**
We're make it home alive.
**[10:50] (Flashback) Remedius**
We'll kill Dochetta,
**[10:54] (Flashback) ---**
and bring peace to Urmun.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Naricia**
Remedius,
**[11:02] (Flashback) ---**
promise me that you'll save Urmun.
**[11:08] (Flashback) Naricia**
Make it into a nation
**[11:11] (Flashback) ---**
where no one ends up like we did.
**[11:15] (Flashback) Remedius**
Naricia!
**[11:16] (Flashback) Naricia**
I love you.
**[11:18] (Flashback) Naricia**
More than anyone else in the world!
**[11:23] (Flashback) Remedius**
Naricia!
**[11:35] (Flashback) Person A**
Hey!
**[11:37] (Flashback) Person A**
Answer me!
**[11:38] (Flashback) Person B**
Naricia!
**[11:39] (Flashback) Person B**
Where are you?
**[11:39] (Flashback) Person B**
Remedius!
**[11:40] (Flashback) Person A**
Remedius!
**[11:41] (Flashback) Person B**
Answer me!
**[11:44] (Flashback) Person C**
I understand how you feel,
but there's no way they're alive.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Person A**
That's not true!
**[11:50] (Flashback) Person C**
But in this weather...
**[11:52] (Flashback) Person A**
Hey, there's someone over here.
**[11:56] (Flashback) Person A**
Remedius!
**[12:00] (Flashback) Person A**
Remedius...?
**[12:03] (Flashback) Person B**
Naricia!
**[12:04] (Flashback) Person B**
Where's Naricia?
**[12:06] (Flashback) Remedius**
They're all dead.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Remedius**
But Naricia is inside of me.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Person A**
What do you mean by that?
**[12:19] (Flashback) Remedius**
I ate her.
**[12:21] (Flashback) Remedius**
Naricia gave her body to me.
**[12:25] (Flashback) Person A**
You ate her?
**[12:27] (Flashback) Remedius**
This is the last of her.
**[12:30] (Flashback) Person A**
It can't be...
**[12:32] (Flashback) Person A**
No...
**[12:33] (Flashback) Remedius**
With this, all of Naricia
will be inside of me.
**[12:44] (Flashback) Remedius**
The weak, foolish Remedius is already dead.
**[12:48] (Flashback) Remedius**
Offer to me your flesh and blood,
**[12:51] (Flashback) ---**
and I shall consume the enemies
of Urmun without fail.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Remedius**
That's right.
**[13:01] (Flashback) Remedius**
I'm...
**[13:02] Remedius**
...the avenger.
**[13:04] Remedius**
I'm the demon.
**[13:06] Remedius**
And I'm...
**[13:10] ---**
the Man-Eating Dragon of the Sand, Zhuo Lu.
**[13:15] Remedius**
Zemunn, you've put yourself
to use as the late Remedius,
**[13:19] ---**
and set the board.
**[13:22] Remedius**
This is the final move.
**[13:24] Remedius**
Be gone, vile Rahzel.
**[13:36] Gigina**
Damn it, what a terrible gift to leave behind.
**[13:39] Largonkin**
At least we're alive.
**[13:41] Gayus**
It's Salmak. It consumes the enemy's
Jushiki power and turns them to stone.
**[13:45] Gayus**
And Otis, which necrotizes
the cells with snake venom...
**[13:48] Gayus**
It looks like Amupura's medium was a snake.
**[13:52] Largonkin**
It was definitely teleporting
with that ability.
**[13:55] Largonkin**
We're lucky Amupura was drawn into
the sky, just as we'd expected.
**[14:01] Ampura**
How awful.
**[14:05] Ampura**
Here we go!
**[14:06] Ampura**
A brand new Amupura.
**[14:18] Ampura**
How's that?
**[14:19] Ampura**
Now with 1.46 times more Amupura
than the leading brand!
**[14:24] Largonkin**
I couldn't see him regenerating.
**[14:28] Largonkin**
His teleporting, too... What is this?
**[14:30] Gayus**
Son of a bitch!
**[14:32] Gayus**
I finally get it.
**[14:35] Gayus**
He's using Goarp continuously.
**[14:38] Gayus**
He's turning his body into information and
converting it into subatomic particles.
**[14:43] Gayus**
Then he transfers that as waves.
**[14:45] Gayus**
And at the destination,
he regenerates himself.
**[14:50] Gayus**
His original body and his transferred
body are both the same and not.
**[14:55] Gayus**
He's switching his body out each time.
**[14:59] Ampura**
You guessed it!
**[15:01] Ampura**
Now, let's get to ending the evening party.
**[15:05] Ampura**
Just so you know,
**[15:07] ---**
the Jushiki warheads are still right here.
**[15:12] Gayus**
Here's a question for you.
**[15:14] Gayus**
How do we achieve victory against Amupura?
**[15:17] Gigina**
We'll need a four-eyed redhead
**[15:20] ---**
to get eaten and destroy him from the inside.
**[15:23] Gayus**
I'm the only one who fits that description.
**[15:26] Gigina**
What's your answer, then?
**[15:27] Gayus**
Win virtuously,
by the judgment of a long history,
**[15:31] ---**
unbound by a petty word like "victory."
**[15:34] Gigina**
The only problem is that we'll die now.
**[15:37] Gayus**
I guess.
**[15:41] Gayus**
* If only we could blow this place up*
* along with the Jushiki warhead...*
**[15:50] Ampura**
Well, well, Baron Janahn Ghalan.
**[15:54] Janahn**
It's over for me.
**[15:57] Ampura**
You don't have the Jushiki
power left to regenerate?
**[16:02] Ampura**
What a pitiful sight.
**[16:05] Janahn**
B-By the rules of the evening p-party, eat me.
**[16:10] Ampura**
Indeed.
**[16:16] Gayus**
You ate your own comrade?
**[16:18] Ampura**
We prioritize the survival
of our species' information
**[16:21] ---**
over that of each individual.
**[16:26] Ampura**
In that regard, I admire Remedius.
**[16:31] Ampura**
By ingesting the girl he so loved,
**[16:34] ---**
he inherited her heroic will.
**[16:38] Ampura**
Now, it's the end of the jolly evening party.
**[16:44] Ampura**
Now that I've merged with Janahn Ghalan,
**[16:47] ---**
the conditions for the warheads'
triggering have been met.
**[16:57] Ampura**
It's time.
**[16:59] Ampura**
The gods of death fly into the air
**[17:01] ---**
and circle Rahzel Island
with their black hands.
**[17:07] Largonkin**
I won't let you!
**[17:12] Largonkin**
Eridana is my town!
**[17:14] Largonkin**
I won't let a single person die!
**[17:20] Ampura**
I'm not playing, either.
**[17:23] Ampura**
I can't let you stop it.
**[17:25] Largonkin**
What?!
**[17:26] Largonkin**
Gayus! Do it!
**[17:43] Gayus**
Largonkin!
**[17:47] Gayus**
The evening party and Remedius's
revenge have failed!
**[17:51] Ampura**
That, too, was within Remedius's plans.
**[18:01] Gigina**
After it!
**[18:01] Gayus**
Yeah.
**[18:12] Gigina**
Just so you know, I won't last.
**[18:15] Gigina**
Do you have a way to stop it?
**[18:17] Gayus**
I'll have to take a chance.
**[18:21] Ampura**
I told you, I'm not playing, either.
**[18:26] Ampura**
You have an adorable, ladylike shriek.
**[18:33] Ampura**
Sink.
**[18:39] Gigina**
Gayus, are you alive?
**[18:41] Gayus**
That woke me up...
**[18:50] Ampura**
The evening party is over.
**[18:52] Ampura**
I've fulfilled my contract with Remedius.
**[18:56] Ampura**
Now, come, my family!
**[19:02] Gayus**
His goal was to summon his own kind.
**[19:05] Gayus**
But now that I know how
the teleportation works,
**[19:10] ---**
he isn't immortal or anything.
**[19:12] Gayus**
He's just prey.
**[19:15] Gayus**
You're just a piece on a board.
**[19:16] Gayus**
Squirm all you like, but this is checkmate!
**[19:36] Ampura**
I-I'm...
**[19:39] Ampura**
the ruler of the M-Magatsushiki!
**[19:44] Ampura**
I c-can't allow myself to be defeated now!
**[19:49] Ampura**
The Eye of the Cosmos...
**[20:01] Gigina**
It's over.
**[20:11] Gayus**
Why?
**[20:13] Gigina**
Damn it, Remedius...
**[20:15] Gigina**
He'd conned even the Great Magatsushiki.
**[20:27] Gigina**
*I'm sorry.*
**[20:29] Gayus**
Jiv...
**[20:50] Gigina**
Largonkin had Jushikiists deployed *there*?
**[20:58] Gigina**
By the way, I take back what I said.
**[21:01] Gigina**
If you don't get it, never mind.
**[21:03] Gigina**
Also, one more thing.
**[21:05] Gigina**
I'm out of Jushiki.
**[21:07] Gayus**
You could have said that sooner!
**[21:18] Gigina**
Oh, you're still alive.
**[21:21] Gayus**
I must be if you're still here.
**[21:25] Gayus**
Otherwise, I'd be in heaven,
**[21:27] ---**
and you'd be in hell.
**[21:30] Gigina**
I've come up with the right
words to disappoint you.
**[21:33] Gigina**
Today is the luckiest day of your life.
**[21:36] Gayus**
This is my luckiest?
**[21:39] Jiv**
Gayus, is that you?
**[21:41] Jiv**
Gayus...
**[21:44] Gayus**
Er...
**[21:46] Gayus**
Sorry about last night.
**[21:49] Jiv**
You idiot! You don't have to lie like that...
**[21:53] Gayus**
But, Jiv, I really...
**[21:59] Jiv**
Welcome home, Gayus.
**[22:02] Jiv**
Finally... I finally got to say that to you.
**[22:08] Gayus**
I'm home, Jiv.
**[23:51] Gigina**
The mind is a kind of paradise.
**[23:53] Gigina**
It turns purgatory into paradise
and burns paradise with ease.
**[23:57] Gigina**
There's no way to confirm
**[23:58] ---**
that the world you see and the
world I see are the same world,
**[24:02] ---**
nor ought there be.

**[00:01] Gayus**
So, how did you get tricked into coming here?
**[00:05] Gigina**
I heard there's a secret furniture shop here.
**[00:08] Gayus**
Even a kid would've seen through that lie.
**[00:12] Jiv**
Today's a surprise get-together
to get you two back on good terms again.
**[00:18] Gigina**
Gayus and I have a gentleman's agreement
**[00:21] ---**
that ensures we don't become
friendly with each other.
**[00:24] Gayus**
He's right.
**[00:25] Gayus**
We're cooperating in order
to not get along, which means...
**[00:30] Jiv**
So you're on good terms after all?
**[00:32] Jiv**
Or bad?
**[00:34] Jiv**
Huh?
**[00:35] Jabeira**
Hey, it's Jivenya.
**[00:37] Jiv**
Jabeira.
**[00:39] Jabeira**
Been a while.
**[00:41] Jiv**
It's been ages.
**[00:44] Iegie**
It's the four-eyed loser
and the Draken dumbass.
**[00:48] Jiv**
Huh? What?
***SIGN*** Endgame of Sand
**[02:27] Jiv**
Jabeira helped me out a lot
when I first joined the company.
**[02:32] Jabeira**
You're still adorable,
even though you left us.
**[02:36] Jabeira**
I didn't think *you* would be
her boyfriend though, Gayus.
**[02:41] Gayus**
What? Got a problem with that?
**[02:43] Jiv**
Say, Jabeira, who's this?
**[02:46] Jiv**
Is he your boyfriend?
**[02:49] Iegie**
No!
**[02:50] Iegie**
I'm just a fellow Jushikiist.
**[02:52] Jabeira**
Oh, you're so cold, Iegie.
**[02:57] Iegie**
D-D-Don't touch me when
you're in old fart mode!
**[02:59] Iegie**
Damn...
**[03:01] Gigina**
By the way, how's Largonkin doing?
**[03:04] Jabeira**
He'll be ready to leave
the hospital soon, thanks to you.
**[03:08] Iegie**
My old man isn't croaking that easily.
**[03:11] ---**
Oh? Did someone get hurt?
**[03:14] Jabeira**
Czahn!
**[03:17] Jabeira**
Long time no see.
**[03:18] Jabeira**
Over here.
**[03:19] Gayus**
Czahn...
**[03:20] Gayus**
What's your relationship with her?
**[03:23] Czahn**
Jabeira and I are cousins.
**[03:25] Jabeira**
A multiple personality weirdo
**[03:29] ---**
and a deviant doctor with an organ fetish.
**[03:32] Jabeira**
Your family sure is cursed.
**[03:34] Czahn**
My, how rude.
**[03:36] Jiv**
Hey, I have a great idea!
**[03:39] Jiv**
Since you're here, why not join us?
**[03:45] Jiv**
One, two, three...
**[03:47] Czahn**
Four, five, six...
**[03:49] Czahn**
Is this really supposed to be fun?
**[03:51] Gayus**
You know how it goes with these games.
**[03:54] Gayus**
So... Seven, eight, nine.
**[03:56] Iegie**
Ten, eleven, twelve.
**[03:57] Gayus**
*Jiv probably doesn't know,*
**[03:58] Jabeira**
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen.
**[03:59] ---**
* but nothing good happens when when*
* Offensive Jushikiists get together to drink.*
**[04:00] Gigina**
Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen.
**[04:02] Jiv**
Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one.
**[04:03] Gayus**
* That is to say, eight times out of ten,*
* there's bloodshed.*
**[04:05] Czahn**
Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four.
**[04:07] Gayus**
Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven.
**[04:07] Gayus**
* So, being as clever as I am,*
* I came up with a game.*
**[04:13] Gayus**
*The rules are simple.*
**[04:15] Gayus**
*Each person counts numbers in order.*
**[04:19] ---**
* The person who calls out one hundred*
* loses and gets a punishment.*
**[04:23] Gayus**
*You can call up to three numbers at a time.*
**[04:26] Gayus**
*And the most interesting part of this game...*
**[04:31] Jiv**
Um...
**[04:34] Jiv**
Ninety-seven.
**[04:37] Czahn**
Sorry, my patient.
**[04:39] Czahn**
Ninety-eight, ninety-nine.
**[04:41] Gayus**
Right off the bat?
**[04:45] Gayus**
One hundred.
**[04:47] Gayus**
*Losing is part of my plan.*
**[04:50] Gayus**
* The loser's punishment is chosen*
* at the winners' discretion.*
**[04:55] Gayus**
* Naturally, the game becomes more and more*
* vicious and merciless as it goes on.*
**[05:00] Gayus**
* Which means that the person who loses*
* at the beginning suffers the least.*
**[05:11] Czahn**
And so, Patient 49707015
**[05:17] ---**
will suffer a public display of his organs.
**[05:20] Gayus**
Shoot...
**[05:22] Gayus**
I forgot how unpopular I was.
**[05:28] Gayus**
Agh...
**[05:29] Czahn**
Not to worry.
**[05:31] Czahn**
This is my precious treasure.
**[05:33] Czahn**
It cuts amazingly well.
**[05:37] Jiv**
Hey, what are you doing?!
**[05:39] Czahn**
Oh dear, she's back already.
**[05:42] Jiv**
Gigina, you lied about
my neighbor's place being on fire!
**[05:47] Gigina**
Huh, I must have misheard.
**[05:52] Jiv**
This is mine!
**[05:54] Jiv**
Don't touch it!
**[05:57] Czahn**
By "it," which part do you mean?
**[06:00] Czahn**
His pancreas?
**[06:02] Czahn**
I can vouch for that.
**[06:04] Jabeira**
Nah, Czahn, she cares about
something a bit lower.
**[06:11] Jiv**
That's not the only thing!
**[06:13] Jiv**
It's all important to me, including that!
**[06:16] Czahn**
So everything *including* his penis.
**[06:22] Jabeira**
Okay, okay!
**[06:23] Jabeira**
No lethal weapons.
**[06:25] Jabeira**
Okay?
**[06:26] Czahn**
Shall we move on to the next match, then?
**[06:28] Jiv**
Bring it on!
**[06:30] Gayus**
Hey... guys...
**[06:35] Gayus**
*Now it's time for round two...*
**[06:37] Gayus**
*Time for my revenge.*
**[06:38] Iegie**
Ninety-three, ninety-four...
**[06:42] Jiv**
Are you okay?
**[06:46] Jiv**
Okay, I'll go with ninety-five.
**[06:49] Czahn**
In that case, ninety-six.
**[06:52] Gigina**
You bastard!
**[06:53] Gigina**
You did this on purpose!
**[06:55] Gayus**
Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine!
**[06:58] Gayus**
There! You lose, Gigina.
**[07:02] Gigina**
M-M-M... My... My...
**[07:06] Gayus**
Louder.
**[07:08] Gigina**
M-My bride-to-be is an a-amazing woman.
**[07:14] Gigina**
I-I-I...
**[07:17] Gayus**
"I"?
**[07:19] Gigina**
I love...
**[07:28] Gayus**
*Czahn lost the third round.*
**[07:31] Iegie**
Ninety-four.
**[07:34] Jiv**
Ninety-five.
**[07:36] Gigina**
Ninety-six.
**[07:38] Gayus**
Ninety-seven.
**[07:40] Jabeira**
Ninety-eight.
**[07:42] Iegie**
Don't worry about me.
**[07:44] Iegie**
I'll be fine.
**[07:46] Jabeira**
Ninety-nine.
**[07:48] Jiv**
Jabeira!
**[07:50] Jabeira**
Blame Gayus if you're upset.
**[07:53] Jabeira**
Now say one hundred.
**[07:56] Jiv**
Oink! Oink!
**[07:59] ---**
Oink! Oink!
**[08:01] Jabeira**
You don't sound serious enough.
**[08:04] Jabeira**
Piglets wouldn't have such a scary face.
**[08:07] Jabeira**
Be cuter.
**[08:09] Iegie**
Come on, she's had enough.
**[08:12] Jabeira**
Enough?
**[08:14] Jabeira**
Now!
**[08:15] Jiv**
Oink!
**[08:16] Jabeira**
Squeal some more!
**[08:18] Jabeira**
Cry in the subservience and sorrow
that is the life of an artiodactyl!
**[08:20] Czahn**
M-My precious...
**[08:25] Gigina**
Say, Gayus...
**[08:28] Gayus**
Don't say it.
**[08:30] Gayus**
* As it turns out,*
* Offensive Jushikiists can cooperate,*
**[08:33] ---**
*but we can't get along.*
**[08:36] Gayus**
*The hellish game continued.*
**[08:39] Jiv**
Round ten!
**[08:41] Jiv**
This'll be the last one.
**[08:43] Jiv**
Who's going first?
**[08:44] Iegie**
Are you okay with this?
**[08:46] Iegie**
Your girlfriend's been more than
a little bit messed up ever since...
**[08:50] Gayus**
Piss off, Iegie.
**[08:53] Gayus**
Piss me off, and your penalty
will be public masturbation.
**[08:58] Gigina**
If you're scared, you may as well
shove your head up your ass and cower.
**[09:03] Gayus**
Sadly, the time for games is over.
**[09:07] Gayus**
This place is already a
gambling parlor of hell.
**[09:09] Gayus**
A battlefield.
**[09:16] Jabeira**
Bippity boppity albertacadabra!
**[09:19] Jabeira**
Old hag magical girl Jabby Jabeira
**[09:23] ---**
will grant all of your moronic dreams
and filthy wishes with devious Jushiki!
**[09:29] Jabeira**
Not for free, of course.
**[09:32] Kid**
I'm scared!
**[09:35] Person**
Don't look.
**[09:38] Jabeira**
Why was I even born?
**[09:41] Jabeira**
Is this the peak Offensive Jushikiist
life I've worked so hard for?
**[09:45] Jabeira**
No, absolutely not!
**[09:48] Jabeira**
But... but...
**[09:50] Czahn**
This is cursed.
**[09:52] Gigina**
This is literally hell on earth.
**[09:54] Jiv**
Jabeira.
**[09:57] Jabeira**
Jiv...
**[09:58] Jiv**
That's enough...
**[10:00] Jiv**
of practicing.
**[10:03] Jiv**
The masses need the old hag magical girl!
**[10:09] Czahn**
They're probably going to
need a doctor after this.
**[10:13] Gigina**
Not even my future bride
is that much of a monster.
**[10:16] Gayus**
Still, I'm glad Jiv took everyone with her.
**[10:21] Gayus**
Have you noticed?
**[10:22] Gigina**
Yeah.
**[10:24] Gigina**
The incident is over.
**[10:26] Gigina**
What use would they have for us now?
**[10:40] Gayus**
Now, this invitation comes
on rather short notice.
**[10:43] Gayus**
Are we having a surprise party of some sort?
**[10:46] Xenobia**
Are you the heroes who saved Eridana?
**[10:49] Gayus**
I thought it was about time
for our heroes' welcome,
**[10:53] ---**
Queen Xenobia.
**[10:54] Xenobia**
I thought I'd throw you a belated celebration.
**[10:58] Gayus**
I'm honored.
**[11:00] Gayus**
It was all thanks to the
information that you gave us.
**[11:03] Xenobia**
Information, you say?
**[11:05] Gayus**
Yes.
**[11:06] Gayus**
You were the one who had Parumuwei
the arms dealer report the location
**[11:11] ---**
of the Aurora Hammer's hideout, were you not?
**[11:13] Gayus**
And since Parumuwei was
no longer of use to you,
**[11:16] ---**
you got rid of him, making it look as though
**[11:19] ---**
it was the Aurora Hammer's doing.
**[11:20] Xenobia**
Well, well, what a clever young man.
**[11:24] Xenobia**
I see.
**[11:26] Xenobia**
It's no wonder that Mouldeen
was interested in you.
**[11:29] Gayus**
There's one thing that I've
been trying to figure out
**[11:33] ---**
since I confronted Zhuo Lu at that hideout.
**[11:35] Xenobia**
What's that?
**[11:36] Gayus**
Zhuo Lu said that the Aurora Hammer's
original form, the Aurora Front,
**[11:40] ---**
was established by the Dragon Empire.
**[11:43] Gayus**
In that case, why would
you want to get rid of it?
**[11:47] Gayus**
You created the organization in secret
to interfere with Urmun's internal affairs.
**[11:51] Gayus**
Nothing would have been more convenient
**[11:53] ---**
than to have Remedius,
a civilian, take it over.
**[11:57] Xenobia**
Is that your only question?
**[11:59] Gayus**
No, more than that,
**[12:01] ---**
why was Remedius so spiteful towards
Rahzel and the Dragon Empire?
**[12:04] Gayus**
Saying it's a terrible
betrayal and backstabbing...
**[12:11] Gayus**
No...
**[12:12] Gayus**
It can't be.
**[12:14] Gigina**
So that's what it is.
**[12:16] Gayus**
The Dragon Empire has plans to conspire
with Dochetta... with that demon?
**[12:22] Xenobia**
I trust that you're aware
that the primary industry
**[12:24] ---**
of this nation is in various
Jushiki industries.
**[12:28] Xenobia**
It's not an overstatement to say
**[12:29] ---**
that our economy is held up by
cutting-edge Jushiki technologies.
**[12:33] Xenobia**
But to create those products,
we need resources.
**[12:38] Xenobia**
I'll get to the point.
**[12:40] Xenobia**
The Dragon Empire and
the Seven-City Alliance
**[12:42] ---**
embrace Dochetta's autocratic regime.
**[12:46] Xenobia**
In return, we share mining rights
**[12:49] ---**
to their underground resources:
their rare metals.
**[12:51] Gayus**
Then why not join forces
with the Aurora Hammer?
**[12:55] Gayus**
For a more democratic...
**[12:56] Xenobia**
That's why.
**[12:57] Xenobia**
The Aurora Hammer has declared
**[12:59] ---**
that Urmun's resources belong
to the people of Urmun.
**[13:03] Xenobia**
We have no need for such a government.
**[13:06] Xenobia**
The Dragon Empire won't compromise.
**[13:08] Xenobia**
Therefore, it was imperative
that Remedius die as a hostage.
**[13:13] Gayus**
As a hostage?
**[13:15] Gayus**
What do you mean by that?
**[13:16] Xenobia**
In order to protect our nation's economy
and the everyday lives of our people,
**[13:21] ---**
as royalty of the Dragon Empire,
I will do anything.
**[13:26] ---**
No matter how vile.
**[13:28] Xenobia**
It doesn't matter to me that the people
of another nation may suffer for it.
**[13:32] Xenobia**
I have absolutely no
sympathy for those fools
**[13:35] ---**
who can't solve their own
nation's problems by themselves.
**[13:39] Gayus**
And you call yourself...
**[13:40] Xenobia**
This decision was made by Mouldeen.
**[13:43] Xenobia**
At the secret meeting with
the Seven-City Alliance
**[13:46] ---**
that you escorted him to.
**[13:51] Gayus**
You're... You're Mouldeen.
**[13:56] Gayus**
The whole of the Dragon Empire's
imperial family is a man-eating dragon.
**[14:01] Gigina**
I'll ask one last question.
**[14:03] Gigina**
Why are you revealing the truth to us now?
**[14:07] Xenobia**
For amusement's sake.
**[14:09] Xenobia**
I wanted to see the faces of the men
**[14:12] ---**
who survived that freak's conspiracy.
**[14:16] Xenobia**
But it wasn't as amusing as I thought.
**[14:20] Xenobia**
Damn...
**[14:22] Xenobia**
They left me with some harsh words.
**[14:25] Xenobia**
The young are so tactless.
**[14:28] Person**
Your Highness, it's time.
**[14:31] Xenobia**
All right.
**[14:47] Mouldeen**
How were Gayus and Gigina?
**[14:50] Xenobia**
To be honest, I don't understand
why you think so highly of them.
**[14:55] Mouldeen**
You sure are harsh with your words, my cousin.
**[14:58] Xenobia**
You brought your Winged Generals
to this silly public display?
**[15:03] Mouldeen**
I did.
**[15:06] Mouldeen**
It's about to begin.
**[15:08] Mouldeen**
This ceremony is going to be broadcast
to the Dragon Empire, too, apparently.
**[15:12] Mouldeen**
Now, smile, smile.
**[15:21] TV**
* Tomorrow will bring pleasant,*
* clear skies to Eridana.*
**[15:24] TV**
*It'll be a good day for doing the laundry.*
**[15:26] Gayus**
This is one unsatisfying ending.
**[15:29] Gigina**
We've done what we can.
**[15:31] Gigina**
That's all there is to it.
**[15:33] Gayus**
Yeah.
**[15:37] Gayus**
Zhuo Lu.
**[15:39] Gayus**
So he *is* alive.
**[15:41] TV**
*We're live from the Urmun Republic.*
**[15:43] TV**
* There's a massive celebration*
* for President Dochetta*
**[15:45] ---**
*at the palace parade grounds.*
**[15:51] People**
Dochetta! Dochetta! Dochetta!
**[16:13] Mouldeen**
Are you unharmed, my cousin?
**[16:19] Dochetta**
I've survived such assassination
attempts countless times with Jushiki.
**[16:25] Dochetta**
I am—Urmun is—eternal!
**[16:47] TV**
*Wh-What's going on?*
**[16:50] TV**
*What is that Jushiki?*
**[16:53] Zhuo Lu**
Dochetta will suffer a miserable
death befitting of his actions.
**[16:57] Gigina**
The Ava Dorn Jushiki.
**[17:00] Gayus**
What do you think you're doing?
**[17:01] Gayus**
Wasn't your goal to take revenge
on Rahzel and the Dragon Empire?
**[17:06] Zhuo Lu**
The failure of my attack
on Rahzel was as planned.
**[17:09] Zhuo Lu**
The true goal of launching the warheads
**[17:12] ---**
was to create a distraction as I transferred
**[17:14] ---**
the abundance of weapons bought
from Parumuwei to Urmun.
**[17:17] Zhuo Lu**
To make everyone believe Remedius's
game board was here in Eridana,
**[17:21] ---**
and to play the Great Magatsushiki,
Dragon's Jaw, and you two.
**[17:26] Zhuo Lu**
But Urmun is the true game board.
**[17:34] Zhuo Lu**
The winning condition of chells
is not to defeat the queen,
**[17:39] ---**
but to defeat the king.
**[17:41] Zhuo Lu**
Is it not clear, then, whether
the warhead ought to be used
**[17:45] ---**
on Rahzel or Dochetta?
**[17:49] Zhuo Lu**
With the tyrant defeated,
the people of Urmun will stand,
**[17:54] ---**
and a new nation will be born.
**[17:58] Gayus**
Whose ideology is that, Zhuo Lu?
**[18:01] Gayus**
Or rather, Count Remedius?
**[18:07] Zhuo Lu**
Remedius Levvi Rahzel is my former self.
**[18:11] Zhuo Lu**
But now, I'm nothing but the Man-Eating
Dragon of the Sand, Zhuo Lu.
**[18:15] Gayus**
Man-Eating Dragon, my ass.
**[18:17] Gayus**
You had your own people killed in
your place at the hostage exchange.
**[18:22] Gayus**
Just to save your own life.
**[18:25] Zhuo Lu**
Did you think I would do
such a wasteful thing?
**[18:28] Zhuo Lu**
The corpse that was assumed to be Remedius
**[18:31] ---**
was a traitor with connections
to the Dragon Empire:
**[18:33] ---**
the former leader of the Aurora Front, Zemunn.
**[18:38] Gayus**
Why would you do such a thing?
**[18:39] Zhuo Lu**
Why?
**[18:41] Zhuo Lu**
Are you suggesting that there's
another way to defeat the oppressors
**[18:44] ---**
and take back freedom and peace?
**[18:46] Gayus**
How can you talk about freedom
when you've killed innocent Eridanians?
**[18:50] Gayus**
What do you mean, "peace"?
**[18:52] Zhuo Lu**
Your very existence causes the death
of the exploited people of the desert.
**[18:58] Zhuo Lu**
I won't let you say you aren't responsible.
**[19:00] Gayus**
But...
**[19:01] Zhuo Lu**
Then propose an alternative.
**[19:03] Zhuo Lu**
What other way is there to
save the people of Urmun?
**[19:07] Zhuo Lu**
The men who had their viscera torn asunder
for opposing the establishment...
**[19:11] Zhuo Lu**
The women who were raped by soldiers...
**[19:14] Zhuo Lu**
The children who died of
starvation and disease...
**[19:17] Zhuo Lu**
And Naricia.
**[19:18] Zhuo Lu**
What way... What words are there to save them?
**[19:22] Zhuo Lu**
Tell me!
**[19:23] Zhuo Lu**
How do I erase the hell that
is burned into my retinas?
**[19:30] Gayus**
What you're doing won't save Urmun.
**[19:34] Gayus**
You're just creating more and more Dochettas.
**[19:40] Zhuo Lu**
I'll kill as many of those
enemies as I need to.
**[19:44] Zhuo Lu**
All for Naricia and the people of Urmun.
**[19:49] Gigina**
Don't bother.
**[19:50] Gigina**
He has an Altar-level barrier.
**[19:54] Gigina**
You're objectionable.
**[19:56] Gigina**
You've simply mistaken your
own will for that of others.
**[20:00] Zhuo Lu**
Naricia's will is my will.
**[20:02] Zhuo Lu**
That's the choice I've made.
**[20:05] Zhuo Lu**
You criticize me with impressive words,
**[20:07] ---**
but you will not—nor can you—do anything.
**[20:11] Zhuo Lu**
Such people mean nothing to me.
**[20:15] Zhuo Lu**
You two will not defeat me.
**[20:25] Cuello**
* Your communication with*
* her is my gift to you.*
**[20:29] Cuello**
*You did good work, thanks to that.*
**[20:34] Gayus**
This scent...
**[20:36] Gigina**
What is it?
**[20:37] Gayus**
Oh, nothing.
**[20:39] Gayus**
*Could it be that that lightning was...*
**[20:45] Gigina**
Let's go.
**[20:46] Gayus**
Yeah.
**[20:57] Naricia**
If only there would be no more
fighting in Urmun or in the world,
**[21:01] ---**
and there could be peace and happiness.
**[21:04] Zhuo Lu**
That won't happen.
**[21:06] Zhuo Lu**
No matter what, people fight.
**[21:09] Naricia**
I know.
**[21:11] Naricia**
But you have to wish
for it at first, to pray for it,
**[21:15] ---**
or nothing will change.
**[21:22] Zhuo Lu**
You may be right.
**[21:25] Zhuo Lu**
But the first thing I wish for is for you
**[21:27] ---**
to be able to keep thinking the way you do.
**[21:33] Naricia**
You're so weird.
**[21:35] Zhuo Lu**
That's important to me.
**[21:44] Zhuo Lu**
Nothing matters more to me than
to express to you this wish...
**[21:48] ---**
No, this prayer.
Even if I die and turn to dust.
**[21:59] Zhuo Lu**
So together, let's wish, pray, and speak.
**[22:03] Naricia**
Okay.
**[22:05] Zhuo Lu**
Even if that wish, that prayer,
can never come true.
**[22:11] Zhuo Lu**
Even then, with you...
**[23:51] Gayus**
Our blood and tears will
surely drench the desert
**[23:54] Gayus**
at the end of time on this earth.
**[23:56] Gayus**
We will surely never be complete.
**[23:59] Gayus**
We will surely not be standing in paradise.
**[24:01] Gayus**
And yet, and yet, I...

**[00:09] (Flashback) Gayus**
Shit...
**[00:11] (Flashback) Gayus**
That bastard used me as a meat shield.
**[00:19] (Flashback) Gayus**
A penniless, powerless, novice Jushikiist...
**[00:24] (Flashback) Gayus**
I get used up, and that's it.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Gayus**
This is bullshit.
**[00:28] (Flashback) Gigina**
This is bullshit.
**[00:30] (Flashback) Gigina**
Such a pathetic victory is a
humiliation to the Draken people.
**[00:35] (Flashback) Diorg**
It certainly hurt that we
lost one of the rearguard.
**[00:40] (Flashback) Diorg**
If only there were a good
Jushikiist just lying around.
**[00:44] (Flashback) Cuello**
They wouldn't be lying around if
they were any good, Chief Diorg.
**[00:49] (Flashback) Stratos**
Let's just up and die now.
**[00:52] (Flashback) Diorg**
Hey, now, Stratos, we wouldn't
want to lose even more men.
**[00:57] (Flashback) Stratos**
Too bad.
**[00:58] (Flashback) Stratos**
I'll think of another way to die, then.
**[01:01] (Flashback) Gigina**
Diorg...
**[01:03] (Flashback) Gigina**
I found some trash for you.
**[01:05] (Flashback) Gigina**
Over there.
**[01:11] (Flashback) Gigina**
But he looks to be dead already.
**[01:14] (Flashback) Gayus**
Who are you calling trash, you peabrain?
**[01:20] Gayus**
* This happened back when I had*
* slightly higher aspirations.*
***SIGN*** And Yet, We...
**[03:07] (Flashback) Gayus**
I did it.
**[03:08] (Flashback) Gigina**
Fool!
**[03:10] (Flashback) Gigina**
A rearguard who gets the front line hurt
is even more dangerous than an enemy.
**[03:14] (Flashback) Gigina**
We aren't amateurs here!
**[03:18] (Flashback) Gayus**
You're just too slow to dodge, you slowpoke!
**[03:22] (Flashback) Gigina**
All right, then.
**[03:26] (Flashback) Gigina**
I have no use for an incapable rearguard!
**[03:35] (Flashback) Gayus**
Cuello...
**[03:37] (Flashback) Gigina**
I assume you don't value your life,
if you're standing in front of a Draken's sword.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Cuello**
I value my life.
**[03:44] (Flashback) Cuello**
But I won't allow pointless
killing on my watch.
**[03:48] (Flashback) Cuello**
Never!
**[03:48] (Flashback) Gigina**
Removing useless trash isn't pointless.
**[03:53] (Flashback) Cuello**
That decision is up to Chief Diorg.
**[03:56] (Flashback) Cuello**
As the chief isn't here,
**[03:57] (Flashback) ---**
you'll be taking orders
from the deputy chief—me.
**[04:03] (Flashback) Gigina**
You really are an annoying woman.
**[04:06] (Flashback) Cuello**
I'll take that as a compliment.
**[04:10] (Flashback) Cuello**
Hey, where are you going?
**[04:12] (Flashback) Gigina**
To the furniture shop.
**[04:13] (Flashback) Gigina**
Don't talk to me for a while.
**[04:16] (Flashback) Cuello**
Jeez.
**[04:17] (Flashback) Cuello**
You were the one who picked him up.
**[04:20] (Flashback) ---**
I don't care if he's a Draken or whatever.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Gayus**
Warfare freaks like him ought to
play with their toys in hell.
**[04:29] (Flashback) Cuello**
Take a good look at what you've done.
**[04:34] (Flashback) Cuello**
This is the result of your
foolishness and arrogance.
**[04:47] (Flashback) Gayus**
I hate Gigina.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Gayus**
I'm fundamentally incompatible with him.
**[04:54] (Flashback) Cuello**
Then you ought to make yourself compatible.
**[04:57] (Flashback) Cuello**
Same goes for that attack earlier.
**[05:00] (Flashback) Cuello**
You shouldn't have tried
to fight on your own.
**[05:02] (Flashback) Cuello**
You should have relied on Gigina's assistance
or waited for my lightning Jushiki.
**[05:07] (Flashback) Cuello**
You used a needlessly, excessively huge Jushiki
**[05:10] (Flashback) ---**
just to show off your skills.
**[05:15] (Flashback) Cuello**
Are you listening to me?
**[05:17] (Flashback) Gayus**
Sorry.
**[05:19] (Flashback) Gayus**
I do nothing but cause you grief
because of my inexperience.
**[05:24] (Flashback) Cuello**
It's not really grief.
**[05:25] (Flashback) Gayus**
I was anxious.
**[05:27] (Flashback) Gayus**
I couldn't keep dragging
everyone down forever.
**[05:31] (Flashback) Gayus**
If I don't make myself useful,
I'll be abandoned again.
**[05:35] (Flashback) Cuello**
We don't abandon our own.
**[05:38] (Flashback) Gayus**
Cuello, please don't hate me.
**[05:41] (Flashback) Cuello**
I don't hate you.
**[05:43] (Flashback) Gayus**
Then...
**[05:50] (Flashback) Gayus**
I've always wanted...
**[05:53] (Flashback) Gayus**
to do this.
**[05:55] Gayus**
* To take advantage of a*
* righteous bitch like you*
**[06:00] ---**
*and then throw her out like scrap paper.*
**[06:05] (Flashback) Cuello**
What do you think you're doing?
**[06:09] (Flashback) Gayus**
Do you happen to hate men?
**[06:12] (Flashback) Cuello**
I like men.
**[06:14] (Flashback) Cuello**
They make good Jushikiists.
**[06:17] (Flashback) Cuello**
Especially if they're real men
who won't try to act pathetic
**[06:21] (Flashback) ---**
just to win a woman's pity.
**[06:24] (Flashback) Gayus**
I'd never sleep with you.
**[06:27] (Flashback) Cuello**
The feeling is mutual.
**[06:29] (Flashback) Cuello**
I have no interest in men who
are cowardly and weaker than me.
**[06:40] (Flashback) Cuello**
Yes?
**[06:41] (Flashback) Cuello**
Yes.
**[06:42] (Flashback) Cuello**
Okay.
**[06:43] (Flashback) Cuello**
Understood.
**[06:45] (Flashback) Cuello**
What do I do?
**[06:47] (Flashback) Cuello**
Stratos and the chief are out on business.
**[06:50] (Flashback) Cuello**
And with Gigina's acting the way he is...
**[06:52] (Flashback) Gayus**
What about me?
**[06:54] (Flashback) Gayus**
What a cheap act.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Cuello**
At least you get back on your feet quickly.
**[07:00] (Flashback) Cuello**
So, do you have the guts to come with me?
**[07:06] (Flashback) Cuello**
Our target today is Maslow Gossum.
**[07:09] (Flashback) Gayus**
He's good-looking.
**[07:11] (Flashback) Gayus**
Marriage fraud or something?
**[07:12] (Flashback) Cuello**
A month ago, he attacked a jewelry store
and killed two security Jushikiists.
**[07:18] (Flashback) Cuello**
He made off with a hundred million
yen's worth of merchandise.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Cuello**
He was later arrested by Largonkin's men,
**[07:25] (Flashback) ---**
but he escaped while
out on bail awaiting his trial.
**[07:27] (Flashback) ---**
All before he revealed
the whereabouts of the stolen goods.
**[07:31] (Flashback) ---**
He got bail after committing
murder and robbery?
**[07:34] (Flashback) Cuello**
Yeah.
**[07:34] (Flashback) Cuello**
And to come up with that bail,
**[07:36] (Flashback) ---**
he's borrowed an incredible amount
of money from a bail bond agent.
**[07:41] (Flashback) Gayus**
But if you flee,
the court gets to keep the money.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Gayus**
Does he hope to screw them over?
**[07:47] (Flashback) Gayus**
That's why we were hired.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Gayus**
Our client, the bond agent,
**[07:52] (Flashback) ---**
requested that we capture Maslow before
the police do, during his bail period.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Cuello**
Of course, no killing him.
**[07:59] (Flashback) Cuello**
The problem, though...
**[08:00] (Flashback) Gayus**
Claymore...
**[08:02] (Flashback) Gayus**
He's a chemical manipulation Jushikiist?
**[08:04] (Flashback) Cuello**
He's skilled, too. A 10th-rank.
**[08:08] (Flashback) Cuello**
Want out?
**[08:09] (Flashback) Gayus**
N-No way.
**[08:12] (Flashback) Gayus**
So what's the plan?
**[08:14] (Flashback) Cuello**
First, we'll go through his past
and figure out where he's hiding.
**[08:18] (Flashback) Cuello**
We don't make a scene until then.
**[08:25] (Flashback) Gayus**
One request and you sell out one of your own.
**[08:29] (Flashback) Gayus**
What a time to be alive.
**[08:30] (Flashback) Cuello**
Sadly, humans are ungrateful creatures.
**[08:35] (Flashback) Gayus**
Well, that's how we managed
to find him, though.
**[08:39] (Flashback) Gayus**
I guess it's all good.
**[08:41] (Flashback) Gayus**
Now we just have to catch him or kill him.
**[08:46] (Flashback) Cuello**
I said no killing.
**[08:48] (Flashback) Gayus**
More of your righteous talk?
**[08:51] (Flashback) Gayus**
Killing is part of the business.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Cuello**
I'll go in first and neutralize him.
**[08:59] (Flashback) Cuello**
You're only to serve as my backup.
**[09:03] (Flashback) Gayus**
I know.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Cuello**
Pardon me.
**[09:07] (Flashback) Cuello**
We're from the power company.
**[09:09] (Flashback) Gayus**
We're here for an inspection.
**[09:11] (Flashback) Gayus**
Is anyone home?
**[09:15] (Flashback) Gayus**
He got away!
**[09:20] (Flashback) Maslow**
Die!
**[09:22] (Flashback) ---**
Shit!
**[09:35] (Flashback) Cuello**
Stop!
**[09:41] (Flashback) Cuello**
Shit.
**[09:46] (Flashback) Cuello**
Gayus!
**[09:48] (Flashback) Cuello**
Gayus!
**[09:50] (Flashback) Cuello**
Hang in there, Gayus.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Gayus**
Sorry... I caused you more trouble.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Cuello**
Save your self-loathing
and reflection for later.
**[10:03] Gayus**
*Huh? Am I...*
**[10:05] (Flashback) Cuello**
Stay conscious.
**[10:07] Gayus**
*...going to die?*
**[10:08] (Flashback) Cuello**
Gayus!
**[10:46] (Flashback) Cuello**
Oh jeez, you're awake?
**[10:51] (Flashback) Gayus**
You didn't do anything to me
while I was asleep, did you?
**[10:54] (Flashback) Cuello**
Obviously not!
**[10:58] (Flashback) Gayus**
Why did you save me?
**[11:01] (Flashback) Gayus**
I ignored your orders.
**[11:04] (Flashback) Gayus**
If I'd died, it would've been my own fault.
**[11:07] (Flashback) Gayus**
You didn't have a reason to put
yourself in danger just to save me.
**[11:12] (Flashback) Gayus**
Between a 6th-rank like me
and 11th-rank like you...
**[11:16] (Flashback) Gayus**
Our lives don't have the same worth.
**[11:21] (Flashback) Cuello**
Gayus, you must have been fighting
in a really awful way until now.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Cuello**
It's normal to put your own life
on the line for the people on your team.
**[11:31] (Flashback) Cuello**
That's our policy at Diorg Jushikiist Agency,
**[11:34] (Flashback) ---**
and my own personal belief.
**[11:37] (Flashback) Cuello**
You need to learn to believe in
and depend on people a little, newbie.
**[11:43] (Flashback) Cuello**
You don't need to be ashamed.
**[11:45] (Flashback) Cuello**
I was dragging everyone down at first, too.
**[11:49] (Flashback) Cuello**
I've gotten ahead of myself and screwed up.
**[11:51] (Flashback) Cuello**
I've cried at how powerless I was.
**[11:56] (Flashback) Cuello**
Right now's the time to learn.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Cuello**
As long as you make yourself more
useful over time, it's all right.
**[12:03] (Flashback) Gayus**
Cuello...
**[12:04] (Flashback) Cuello**
Yes?
**[12:07] (Flashback) Gayus**
Thanks.
**[12:10] (Flashback) Cuello**
Well, you can't stay in bed forever.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Cuello**
I had the chief call Gigina in.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Cuello**
We're headed for a rematch
as soon as we meet up.
**[12:20] (Flashback) Cuello**
I've already set up our information warfare.
**[12:23] (Flashback) Gayus**
You're strong.
**[12:25] (Flashback) Cuello**
I'm not strong.
**[12:27] (Flashback) Cuello**
It still scares me that my enemies
and I are trying to kill each other.
**[12:32] (Flashback) Cuello**
But more than my own fear,
**[12:35] (Flashback) ---**
my hatred for those who
hurt others galvanizes me.
**[12:40] (Flashback) Cuello**
I want to do what I can
to protect the people I love.
**[12:46] (Flashback) Cuello**
I don't want to kill my enemies
if I can help it, either.
**[12:50] (Flashback) Cuello**
It may sound like self-righteous hypocrisy,
**[12:54] (Flashback) ---**
but even if I get laughed at,
even if I'm mocked for it,
**[12:59] (Flashback) ---**
I'll never waver in my belief.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Gayus**
Cuello...
**[13:07] (Flashback) Gayus**
The way I feel about you right now...
**[13:14] (Flashback) Cuello**
The way he's ringing the bell,
that must be Gigina.
**[13:21] (Flashback) Gigina**
Oh.
**[13:22] (Flashback) Gigina**
You're alive.
**[13:24] (Flashback) Gigina**
You four-eyed loser.
**[13:28] (Flashback) Cuello**
Die, dim-witted pigs!
**[13:31] (Flashback) Cuello**
Speed!
**[13:32] (Flashback) Cuello**
Everything is about speed!
**[13:34] (Flashback) Cuello**
I'm the queen of speed!
**[13:37] (Flashback) Gayus**
Gigina!
**[13:39] (Flashback) Gayus**
Why didn't you stop her
before she started driving?
**[13:41] (Flashback) Gayus**
Cuello, calm down, please!
**[13:42] (Flashback) Gayus**
Out of the way!
**[13:44] (Flashback) Cuello**
Here comes the massacre demon
of the mountain path!
**[13:53] (Flashback) Gayus**
So, what's the strategy now?
**[13:56] (Flashback) Gayus**
How do we find Maslow?
**[13:57] (Flashback) Cuello**
It's simple.
**[13:59] (Flashback) Cuello**
Maslow is likely on edge
after the incident yesterday.
**[14:02] (Flashback) Cuello**
Even if he isn't, high-dollar gems
are hard to sell in this nation.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Cuello**
In either case, the most
certain course of action...
**[14:10] (Flashback) Gigina**
Is to leave the country.
**[14:13] (Flashback) Gigina**
But for a wanted man like Maslow
to get through border security,
**[14:19] (Flashback) ---**
he would need a fake passport.
**[14:21] (Flashback) Cuello**
Correct.
**[14:23] (Flashback) Cuello**
Remember how I said I'd set up
our information warfare?
**[14:26] (Flashback) Cuello**
Lay down the bait,
**[14:28] (Flashback) ---**
and they'll come to get caught themselves.
**[14:37] (Flashback) Maslow**
Where are you?
**[14:38] (Flashback) Maslow**
I'm here with the passport money.
**[14:43] (Flashback) Cuello**
You should have paid the
forger some hush money.
**[14:49] (Flashback) Cuello**
I doubt you'll get anywhere by resisting.
**[14:54] (Flashback) Maslow**
Who do you think I am?!
**[15:18] (Flashback) Cuello**
Gayus!
**[15:26] (Flashback) Maslow**
You're weak.
**[15:28] (Flashback) Maslow**
Go to hell, you four-eyed scrub!
**[15:33] (Flashback) Gayus**
Are you trying to kill me, asshole?!
**[15:35] (Flashback) Cuello**
Look out!
**[16:08] (Flashback) Cuello**
Well then, now we just tie him up, and...
**[16:13] (Flashback) Gayus**
Gigina?
**[16:16] (Flashback) Gayus**
Wait, Gigina!
**[16:19] (Flashback) Gigina**
Haven't I told you that if you stand in
front of a Draken sword, you're dead?
**[16:25] (Flashback) Gigina**
I'll kill any enemy who
forces me to spill blood.
**[16:28] (Flashback) Cuello**
There's something I can't give up, either.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Cuello**
I'll tell you again.
**[16:33] (Flashback) Cuello**
I won't let you kill anyone.
**[16:37] (Flashback) Gigina**
Your beliefs are nothing but pretty words.
**[16:41] (Flashback) Cuello**
Still, I have my pride.
**[16:44] (Flashback) Cuello**
Just as you do.
**[16:47] (Flashback) Cuello**
If this isn't enough blood for you...
**[16:50] (Flashback) Gigina**
Don't bother.
**[16:51] (Flashback) Gigina**
I don't have a need for your blood.
**[17:04] (Flashback) Gigina**
Cuello, give me your arm.
**[17:15] (Flashback) Gayus**
That's impressive.
**[17:17] (Flashback) Cuello**
Gigina's a master of healing Jushiki.
**[17:20] (Flashback) Cuello**
I'm fine now.
**[17:22] (Flashback) Cuello**
Thanks.
**[17:24] (Flashback) Gigina**
Your strength and intensity are
worthy of a certain kind of praise.
**[17:28] (Flashback) Gigina**
I'd like to fight you to the death someday.
**[17:34] (Flashback) Cuello**
I'm just doing everything I can.
**[17:37] (Flashback) Cuello**
I'll never become a heartless executioner.
**[17:46] (Flashback) Diorg**
All right, everyone, get together.
**[17:48] (Flashback) Diorg**
We're taking a picture
**[17:50] (Flashback) ---**
to commemorate a successful mission
and the addition of a new member to our team.
**[17:55] (Flashback) Gayus**
Wh-Why is the chief all beat up?
**[17:59] (Flashback) Gayus**
Wasn't he out for a meeting?
**[18:01] (Flashback) Cuello**
Apparently, he got caught in an
attempted suicide bombing by Stratos.
**[18:06] (Flashback) Stratos**
I almost had it.
**[18:08] (Flashback) Gigina**
Hurry up and take the picture, damn it.
**[18:12] (Flashback) Diorg**
A little more to the left, Gigina.
**[18:16] (Flashback) Diorg**
And raise your head a little, Stratos.
**[18:19] (Flashback) Diorg**
Okay!
**[18:20] (Flashback) Diorg**
Now, smile!
**[18:26] (Flashback) Cuello**
Come on, look forward and smile.
**[18:28] (Flashback) Cuello**
From now on, depend on us,
and let us depend on you.
**[18:36] (Flashback) Diorg**
All right. Here we go.
**[18:49] Gigina**
You definitely need a shelf.
**[18:52] Gayus**
Did you say something?
**[18:53] Gigina**
You need a shelf to organize all of that.
**[18:57] Gigina**
I know.
**[18:58] Gigina**
I'll make you one.
**[19:00] Gayus**
If you call that giant piece of trash
you made a "shelf," no thanks.
**[19:05] Gigina**
Are you mocking my beloved son Tarelk?!
**[19:10] Gayus**
Yeah. Trash gives birth to trash.
**[19:12] Gayus**
Now, help me out a little!
**[19:13] Gigina**
How dare you, you toxic waste?!
**[19:19] Gayus**
Let's not do this today.
**[19:21] Gayus**
This is never going to get finished.
**[19:26] Gigina**
It's not getting finished because you
waste time reminiscing in silly memories.
**[19:33] Gigina**
It seems Remedius died.
**[19:36] Gayus**
I know.
**[19:37] Gigina**
I see.
**[19:40] Gayus**
* After Dochetta's death,*
* Urmun entered into a nasty civil war.*
**[19:46] Gayus**
* The Dragon Empire deployed the military*
* in the name of peacekeeping.*
**[19:50] Gayus**
* But I doubt that man will*
* do any more than that.*
**[19:56] Gayus**
* So long as Urmun continues*
* to churn in political turmoil,*
**[19:59] ---**
*the Dragon Empire's economy stays stable.*
**[20:03] Gayus**
* It's as rational a conclusion*
* as you could reach.*
**[20:06] Gayus**
*In the end, most of the people of Urmun*
**[20:09] ---**
*never responded to the Aurora Hammer's call.*
**[20:12] Gayus**
* After sporadic regional*
* revolts and resistances,*
**[20:16] ---**
*they, too, fell apart, and Remedius died...*
**[20:22] Gayus**
*As the Man-Eating Dragon of the Sand, Zhuo Lu.*
**[20:26] Gayus**
* His corpse, as it was found*
* outside of the city, was decapitated.*
**[20:29] Gayus**
*It's believed he was assassinated.*
**[20:35] Jiv**
Gayus, are you there?
**[20:38] Jiv**
Come on, hurry up.
**[20:40] Gayus**
Where are we going?
**[20:42] Gayus**
To the seabird shop.
**[20:44] Gayus**
I had us invited to Largonkin's
welcome home party.
**[20:49] Jiv**
Jabeira and Iegie are coming, too.
**[20:53] Gayus**
Wait, does that mean we're...
**[20:56] Gigina**
Do you never learn?
**[21:00] Jiv**
I don't know what you're talking about.
**[21:02] Jiv**
Never mind that...
**[21:04] Jiv**
Crab!
**[21:05] Jiv**
We're going to have crab!
**[21:07] Gigina**
What the hell?
**[21:08] Gigina**
Unhand me, woman.
**[21:09] Jiv**
I'll do no such thing.
**[21:11] Gayus**
*The golden age has passed.*
**[21:15] Gayus**
*The sky I saw then will never return.*
**[21:19] Gayus**
*Still...*
**[21:21] Jiv**
Hurry, hurry!
**[21:22] Gigina**
I'm never saying what I did again. Ever.
**[21:23] Jiv**
*I have a woman I love,*
**[21:27] ---**
*and a partner who has my back.*
**[21:31] Gayus**
* Beneath this sky is the world*
* I both loathe and love.*
**[21:37] Gayus**
*In which case...*
**[21:43] Jiv**
Gayus!
**[21:45] Jiv**
Hurry up already!
**[21:50] Gayus**
Yeah, I'm coming.
**[21:54] Gayus**
*I have all I need.*
**[21:56] Gayus**
*Don't I?*
