[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...
SIGN    And Yet, We...
