[00:20] ---
    Satelli, Ma'am! Rana!
[00:24] ---
    You must not yet get up!
[00:27] ---
    Okay. Thank you...
[00:30] ---
    I'm sorry. I went meddling,
    when I was no use at all...
[00:34] ---
    That's right!
[00:36] ---
    You showed up, but couldn't do anything!
[00:39] ---
    You couldn't solve a thing--
    just came barging in! If that...
[00:44] ---
    If that... had caused you
    to get even more hurt...

[00:47] ---
    Kazuya was...
[00:49] ---
    He came charging in to help you, Satellizer.
[00:54] ---
    Surely you should not speak like that.
[00:59] ---
    Satelli!
[01:04] ---
    You were brave, Kazuya.
[01:07] ---
    I am coming to like you more and more!
[01:11] ---
    One day, I will surely be
    bound to you in baptism!
[01:15] ---
    But I--
[01:17] ---
    For now, I do not mind that
    my feelings are one-sided.
[01:21] ---
    Just... for now.
[01:26] ---
    Why?
[01:29] ---
    The truth is, that made me happy, but...
[01:34] ---
    Kazuya...
[01:47] ---
    Tomaru koto o yurusarenai nara
[01:50] ---
    Kono mama arukitsuzukeyou
[01:52] ---
    "Oboete ite hoshii, hitori ja nai koto"
[01:58] ---
    Furikirenai omoi o dareka ga
[02:01] ---
    Yowasa to waratta to shite mo
[02:04] ---
    Kamawanai. Tsutaetai, massugu ni kimi e
[02:09] ---
    Keep the faith
[02:10] ---
    Fukai kaze no naka
[02:20] ---
    Ari no mama ni ikiru koto
[02:29] ---
    Yakusoku shita kara
[02:32] ---
    Oh, true color
[02:35] ---
    Sumiwataru sora
[02:38] ---
    Jiyuu ni iro o nurikaeru you ni
[02:44] ---
    Oh, true color
[02:46] ---
    Tashika na keshiki nante nai
[02:50] ---
    Shiawase na mainichi demo
[02:55] ---
    Wasurenaide ite
[03:08] ---
    "Prom"? What's that?
[03:09] ---
    All the students get together at the
    auditorium at the center of campus
[03:14] ---
    and have a dance party!
[03:16] ---
    This will be the first time
    we first-years participate,
[03:19] ---
    but it's a tradition, held once a year.
[03:21] ---
    You can strengthen the bonds
    of affection between partners
[03:24] ---
    or find a partner who suits you.
[03:26] ---
    That's the basic premise,
[03:27] ---
    but apparently it's basically
    a party for us to take a break.
[03:31] ---
    Yeah. And the star of the
    prom is the Pandora Queen.
[03:36] ---
    Yup, yup.
[03:37] ---
    Pandora Queen?
[03:38] ---
    It's a beauty contest, decided
    by votes cast by the students.
[03:41] ---
    Last year, Miss Elizabeth was chosen queen.
[03:47] ---
    She's beautiful,
[03:49] ---
    and has a grace that makes it
    fitting she be called "queen."
[03:52] ---
    It's only reasonable.
[04:08] ---
    She certainly is a striking lady...
[04:11] ---
    Kazuya! Should you be gawking at other women?
[04:15] ---
    Are things going well with
    the Untouchable Queen?
[04:18] ---
    Uh... I guess.
[04:21] ---
    Things have felt sort of strained since then,
[04:23] ---
    and I haven't talked to her at all...
[04:28] ---
    Elizabeth! You're just going
    to leave Satellizer be?!
[04:35] ---
    Both our fifth-ranked...
[04:38] ---
    ...and even our fourth-ranked
    students were unable to solve this.
[04:41] ---
    I'm sorry.
[04:41] ---
    I suppose we must accept it:
[04:44] ---
    her power and our powerlessness.
[04:50] ---
    So you're acknowledging our defeat?
[04:52] ---
    Rather than victory or defeat,
[04:54] ---
    think of the unknown
    power of those two girls,
[04:57] ---
    which you say you saw.
[04:59] ---
    The possibilities of that power intrigue me.
[05:10] ---
    Sister Margaret said,
[05:12] ---
    "These peaceful days may not last long."
[05:18] ---
    This is no time for Pandora
    to be fighting one another.

[05:20] ---
    A great calamity may be approaching.
[05:25] ---
    You're saying to preserve
    military potential we can use?

[05:28] ---
    How very like you.
[05:30] ---
    Satellizer certainly has grown
    immeasurably since she and I fought.
[05:36] ---
    That is a different matter altogether
[05:39] ---
    from the issue of how to punish her.
[05:41] ---
    Still, seeing as how we lost...
[05:46] ---
    Hmph! So you're going to hang
    your heads and back down?
[05:50] ---
    Don't tell me...
[05:51] ---
    ...you would go against Elizabeth's will?
[05:55] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[05:57] ---
    We don't have to fight her
    just to teach her a lesson...
[06:04] ---
    Yes. This would go away if I just
    said, "I went too far. I'm sorry."

[06:09] ---
    When I see Kazuya, I should--
[06:12] ---
    Kazuya! I have found you!
[06:17] ---
    I was searching for you, Kazuya!
[06:20] ---
    Me?
[06:20] ---
    Yes! I have heard that a dance
    event will be held next week.
[06:25] ---
    I would like it if we danced together!
[06:29] ---
    Oh. Have you already promised
    to do so with Satellizer?
[06:33] ---
    N-No. Not yet. That is...
[06:40] ---
    Then let us go together!
[06:41] ---
    Um, well...
[06:45] ---
    Satelli!
[06:50] ---
    W-Well, I guess I'll be going...
[06:52] ---
    Ah, I've just remembered an errand!
[06:56] ---
    You're leaving me?!
[06:58] ---
    U-Unfortunately, Kazuya is
    already dancing with me.
[07:03] ---
    Huh?
[07:04] ---
    Oh, my. But Kazuya said, "Not yet."
[07:08] ---
    You two, you can't fight here...
[07:10] ---
    We are not fighting.
[07:12] ---
    Unlike Satellizer, I know when
    the place is appropriate.
[07:17] ---
    Yes, there's no need to fight.
[07:19] ---
    I'm his partner, so Kazuya will
    of course be dancing with me!
[07:24] ---
    Oh, dear...
[07:26] ---
    I'm sorry, Rana.
[07:28] ---
    The truth is, I was about to ask Satelli.
[07:34] ---
    Oh, is that so?
[07:36] ---
    This time, defeat is mine.
[07:39] ---
    "Defeat"?
[07:40] ---
    But I shall not give up.
[07:54] ---
    Kazuya! Come get me on
    the night of the prom.
[07:57] ---
    It's a promise!
[07:59] ---
    O-Okay!
[08:02] ---
    "Pandora Queen"
[08:08] ---
    How goes the ballot tally?
[08:09] ---
    Approximately 70 votes from the first-years.
[08:12] ---
    A reasonable number.
[08:14] ---
    Many of the first-years are without partners,
[08:17] ---
    so enthralling them will be easy.
[08:19] ---
    There are a solid 60 votes
    from the second-years.
[08:22] ---
    I'm very sorry.
[08:23] ---
    Elizabeth carries great weight
    with the third-years.
[08:26] ---
    There are still less than 20 votes...
[08:27] ---
    Silence!
[08:27] ---
    Firm up the female votes,
    no matter what it takes!
[08:31] ---
    Y-Yes, Ma'am. I'll do my best.
[08:33] ---
    Use any means.
[08:35] ---
    If I did not at least
    place among the finalists,
[08:37] ---
    I, Miyabi Kannazuki, could
    not live with myself!
[08:42] ---
    I don't think this is right, either!
[08:47] ---
    I swear! That Kazuya...
[08:51] ---
    Getting all spacey over something like that!
[08:53] ---
    If I wanted to do that...
[08:56] ---
    If I wanted to...
[08:58] ---
    ...I... could do a lot better.
[09:01] ---
    What am I thinking?!
[09:06] ---
    Oh, no! It's going to start!
[09:09] ---
    Okay, I'm coming!
[09:17] ---
    Wh-What's the matter?
[09:20] ---
    I got a little flustered...
[09:28] ---
    Well, shall we go?
[09:30] ---
    Okay.
[09:31] ---
    As chummy as always, aren't you?
[09:33] ---
    Who's there?!
[09:36] ---
    The sixth-ranked third-year...
[09:38] ---
    The Architect of Evil, Attia Simmons!
[09:48] ---
    Now that I've won the top spot
    in my year at the Carnival,
[09:51] ---
    I will apply that energy to becoming
    this year's Pandora Queen!
[09:55] ---
    Ganessa, Ma'am, you're beautiful
[09:57] ---
    and have a grace that makes it
    fitting you be called "queen."
[10:00] ---
    You're sure to be selected!
[10:05] ---
    I should worry more about
    finding a good man for myself!
[10:08] ---
    Say, isn't Aoi here yet?
[10:11] ---
    Well then, it's been a year already!
[10:14] ---
    And now it begins, what you've waited
    for: The West Genetics' Promenade!
[10:18] ---
    Let's get this party started!
[10:24] ---
    I hope it concludes without
    incident this time...
[10:28] ---
    Every year, five or six people are
    taken to the nurse's office, huh?
[10:31] ---
    Chiffon, is Sister Margaret not attending?
[10:34] ---
    I invited her, but...
[10:37] ---
    Oh. I thought so.
[10:38] ---
    You thought so?
[10:39] ---
    These past few days,
[10:41] ---
    there have been frequent dimensional
    fluctuations on a scale we've never seen.
[10:44] ---
    Dimensional fluctuations?!
[10:45] ---
    Could that be related to
    an appearance by the Nova?
[10:48] ---
    We still don't know.
[10:50] ---
    Sister Margaret has been busy,
[10:52] ---
    holding extended meetings with Chevalier
    and the military about that.
[10:56] ---
    You all be sure to enjoy the party for her.
[10:59] ---
    Understood, Miss Yumi Kim.
[11:03] ---
    It's been decided that the
    third-years' punishment
[11:05] ---
    of Satellizer el Bridget will be suspended.
[11:08] ---
    Suspended?
[11:09] ---
    Therefore, this is not as an upperclassman,
[11:12] ---
    but as Attia Simmons, an individual:
[11:14] ---
    I propose a duel with you!
[11:15] ---
    A duel?! P-Please stop this!
[11:19] ---
    Kazuya!
[11:20] ---
    I'm sorry.
[11:22] ---
    Even if you tell me not to
    interfere, or yell at me...
[11:26] ---
    ...I can't just stand by when
    you're faced with danger.
[11:29] ---
    If I didn't feel that way, I would
    be a failure as your partner.
[11:34] ---
    That's what I think.
[11:36] ---
    Kazuya...
[11:38] ---
    It looks like you both have the wrong idea.
[11:42] ---
    I've had it with seeing
    blood spilled on prom night.
[11:47] ---
    Then what do you mean, "duel"?
[11:49] ---
    For the crown of Pandora Queen!
[11:51] ---
    Enter the Pandora Queen contest
[11:53] ---
    and battle for the number of votes received!
[12:03] ---
    What shall you do? If you
    object, you can always refrain,
[12:06] ---
    but that will mean your defeat in this duel.
[12:09] ---
    That's just ridiculous!
[12:12] ---
    Very well.
[12:14] ---
    I will accept your duel!
[12:16] ---
    S-Satelli?
[12:19] ---
    No matter what form of duel...
[12:22] ---
    ...I will not lose!
[12:26] ---
    I-I look forward to it!
[12:29] ---
    And by the way, you can't win on chest alone!
[12:33] ---
    Chest?
[12:38] ---
    And up next is entry No.
    7, the Angel of Binding,
[12:43] ---
    second-year Ganessa Roland!
[12:45] ---
    Call me "queen"--
[12:48] ---
    the Pandora Queen!
[12:49] ---
    As is natural.
[12:51] ---
    Yes! Ganessa, you're the greatest!
[12:54] ---
    Entry No. 8, the Releaser of Chastity,
[12:58] ---
    third-year Miyabi Kannazuki!
[13:09] ---
    Come on.
[13:14] ---
    Um, Ma'am?
[13:16] ---
    I said I would give this
    my all, but sure enough,
[13:19] ---
    I can't go through with
    this kind of humiliation!
[13:23] ---
    Oh, man. But you've already entered...
[13:25] ---
    Satellizer? Will you be
    participating as well?
[13:32] ---
    Rana! What's with that outfit?!
[13:34] ---
    An arrangement of clothes
    from my home country.
[13:37] ---
    What do you think?
[13:40] ---
    U-Um, not bad. I think...
[13:43] ---
    Entry No. 11, the Pulsating Stomach Flesh,
[13:46] ---
    third-year Maruki Ton!
[13:50] ---
    Oh. A duel to become Pandora Queen?
[13:52] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[13:57] ---
    Oh, my. Admitting defeat before
    the duel has even begun?
[14:02] ---
    I do not wish to be beaten by you either.
[14:08] ---
    She's a tough one, too!
[14:10] ---
    Well, be sure to do your best!
[14:12] ---
    Entry No. 13, the Architect of
    Evil, third-year Attia Simmons!
[14:17] ---
    Coquettish!
[14:18] ---
    Cute!
[14:20] ---
    A woman's appeal doesn't lie
    in the size of her chest.

[14:23] ---
    I will make you understand that.
[14:28] ---
    Whoa, she's getting a good reaction.
[14:31] ---
    Next, it is my turn!
[14:33] ---
    Satellizer...
[14:36] ---
    Honor won by a Pandora
[14:37] ---
    is honor shared by her partner,
    her Limiter, is it not?
[14:41] ---
    With that in mind, I could do
    anything, no matter how hard.
[14:49] ---
    Moving on, entry No. 14,
    the as-yet-unnicknamed
[14:54] ---
    mysterious transfer student,
    second-year Rana Linchen!
[15:08] ---
    Perhaps I have shown
    compassion to my enemy...

[15:12] ---
    You're almost up. Please get ready.
[15:16] ---
    Satelli?
[15:17] ---
    I-I'm going out.
[15:20] ---
    You don't have to if you don't want to...
[15:22] ---
    I don't. I don't want to go out, but...
[15:26] ---
    ...Kazuya, I have to do it for you.
[15:29] ---
    For me?
[15:31] ---
    Bridget, it's time.
[15:36] ---
    Yes. Because right now,
    all I can do for Kazuya...

[15:40] ---
    ...is this right here.
[15:42] ---
    Up next, entry No. 15...
[15:46] ---
    I-It's the Untouchable Queen,
    second-year Satellizer el Bridget!
[15:52] ---
    What'd he say?
[15:54] ---
    The Untouchable Queen is doing this?!
[16:00] ---
    Oh, my. Strange things can happen, eh?
[16:03] ---
    Previously, she wouldn't even
    attend an event like this...
[16:08] ---
    It's Kazuya Aoi.
[16:11] ---
    Sister!
[16:13] ---
    Satellizer seems to have
    gotten a good partner.
[16:19] ---
    Frozen in place, huh?
[16:21] ---
    There's no way she can beat Attia like that.
[16:24] ---
    In fact, I think she has
    more fundamental problems...
[16:30] ---
    I didn't think about what I
    should do on stage at all!

[16:34] ---
    What do I do?!
[16:35] ---
    That's... nice, huh?
[16:38] ---
    Yeah. It's, like, innocent.
[16:40] ---
    The Untouchable Queen
    that everyone's scared of
[16:43] ---
    seems so fragile and delicate!
    The disparity is...
[16:47] ---
    Swoon!!
[16:50] ---
    That was so embarrassing!
[16:52] ---
    Satelli...
[16:56] ---
    You were great out there.
[16:59] ---
    And now, the final entry:
    last year's Pandora Queen,
[17:04] ---
    the Executor of Ingenious Schemes,
    third-year Elizabeth Mably!
[17:28] ---
    Turns out I couldn't find a partner...
[17:31] ---
    There will be other chances.
[17:34] ---
    Yes. There will be other
    duels besides tonight...

[17:38] ---
    The queen will be announced soon.
[17:42] ---
    I ended up just standing there,
    unable to do anything...
[17:47] ---
    You pushed yourself and
    did your best just for me.
[17:51] ---
    That's what made me happiest.
[17:57] ---
    K-Kazuya? Um...
[18:00] ---
    Yes?
[18:01] ---
    I-If you like... That is...
[18:05] ---
    What is it?
[18:07] ---
    You and I could formally...
[18:10] ---
    Now it's time to announce the results!
[18:12] ---
    We'll begin with our fifth-place winner!
[18:17] ---
    In fifth place...
[18:20] ---
    ...Miyabi Kannazuki!
[18:23] ---
    A foregone conclusion!
[18:26] ---
    Uh, about Miss Kannazuki, we've
    discovered an irregularity...
[18:31] ---
    What'd he say?!
[18:33] ---
    Shoot!
[18:34] ---
    Miss Miyabi Kannazuki has been disqualified.
[18:37] ---
    Thus, fifth place goes to Ganessa Roland!
[18:40] ---
    You did it! You ended up placing!
[18:43] ---
    Somehow, I am unable to be happy.
[18:47] ---
    In fourth place, Rana Linchen!
[18:50] ---
    Kazuya! I did it!
[18:54] ---
    C-Congratulations.
[18:56] ---
    In third place, with 127 votes...
[18:58] ---
    ...third-year Attia Simmons!
[19:02] ---
    Attia came in third?
[19:04] ---
    So you have to place second or first to win.
[19:08] ---
    Excellently done, Ma'am.
[19:10] ---
    Well, it's only reasonable.
[19:12] ---
    In second place, with
    198 votes, third-year...
[19:16] ---
    ...Elizabeth Mably!
[19:19] ---
    Miss Elizabeth didn't come
    in first? Then who did?
[19:23] ---
    Did anyone capable of beating
    Elizabeth even participate?
[19:26] ---
    Beats me...
[19:28] ---
    And the winner is...
[19:33] ---
    ...with 568 votes...
[19:36] ---
    ...second-year Satellizer el Bridget!
[19:42] ---
    What?!
[19:45] ---
    Y-You did it.
[19:48] ---
    Well, there's something I can do about that!
[19:51] ---
    Ma'am! Where are you going?
[19:52] ---
    Miss Satellizer, congratulations!
[19:55] ---
    Aoi looks proud, too!
[19:57] ---
    I could have lost to anyone but you! Grarr!
[20:01] ---
    Hmm. I suppose one would call
    this an unexpected victory.
[20:06] ---
    You really want to use this?
[20:08] ---
    Yes. Our approach this year
    was for more visual impact,
[20:12] ---
    so Elizabeth prepared this.
[20:14] ---
    Miss Elizabeth did?
[20:16] ---
    But unfortunately victory escaped her,
[20:19] ---
    so she cannot wear it, can she?
[20:21] ---
    Therefore, she definitely wants
    this year's queen to have it.
[20:24] ---
    Well, in that case...
[20:27] ---
    Understand? To do otherwise would
    be an affront to Elizabeth!
[20:30] ---
    The queen must wear this!
[20:32] ---
    Y-Yes, Ma'am.
[20:35] ---
    Please, this way.
[20:37] ---
    Huh? Wh-What...?
[20:39] ---
    You have to change into your queen's outfit.
[20:41] ---
    Outfit?
[20:42] ---
    And now, presenting this
    year's Pandora Queen!
[20:51] ---
    Th-This outfit...
[20:53] ---
    It took everything just to
    show myself in that dress!

[20:59] ---
    That outfit is your doing?
[21:01] ---
    It's not an outfit; it's
    a gag gift for couples.
[21:05] ---
    Gag?
[21:06] ---
    Yes. It reacts to body
    heat. And bit by bit...
[21:11] ---
    H-Hey!
[21:13] ---
    Are you kidding me?!
[21:21] ---
    Satelli, Ma'am! What's going on?!
[21:24] ---
    I don't know.
[21:25] ---
    The color fades and it becomes transparent!
[21:29] ---
    Finally, we were able to teach
    that impudent girl a lesson!
[21:34] ---
    Why would Attia own something like that?
[21:36] ---
    She has her abnormalities, that one...
[21:39] ---
    Help me, Kazuya!
[21:45] ---
    Hurry! Come on.
[21:54] ---
    So even she can get like this, huh?
