[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] ---
