[00:18] ---
    Taking up arms,
    standing on the battlefield,
[00:21] ---
    and distinguishing oneself alone
    is not the essence of battle.
[00:26] ---
    In order to survive turbulent times,
    words become powerful weapons.
[00:31] ---
    The resourcefulness to
    manipulate truth and falsehood.
[00:34] ---
    This is yet another weapon.
[00:38] ---
    Perhaps it is not the powerful
    whose names are left to history,
[00:41] ---
    but those who pace about with wisdom.
[00:55] ---
    I may have a habit of running away
    whenever anything bad occurs,
[01:02] ---
    but no matter what happens,
    I'm not going to run away now.
[01:09] ---
    I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
    even though I understand it in my mind,
[01:16] ---
    but since I am aiming higher,
    I'm not going to cry now.
[01:23] ---
    I'm tired of hearing that
    things will turn out all right.
[01:25] ---
    Don't bury your head in your hands.
[01:27] ---
    Instead give your positive gauge a clip!
[01:28] ---
    In time it will all feel
    just like it should!
[01:32] ---
    Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
    etched in my mind
[01:38] ---
    that someday, this will all be real.
[01:45] ---
    Both the unchanging mornings
    and the never-ending nights.
[01:51] ---
    I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.
[02:17] ---
    Michel-sama, return to us safely.
[02:20] ---
    Return to us safely.
[02:23] ---
    We extend a heartfelt welcome
    to you on your visit to our territory.
[02:27] ---
    I shall escort you to
    the Duchess of Bardeaux.
[02:32] ---
    Thank you. Very well then...
[02:35] ---
    I am most grateful.
[02:37] ---
    I will be taking charge of
    your companion's side arm, as well.
[02:41] ---
    What's going on here?
[02:43] ---
    I told you, Bardeaux territory is
    a neutral zone. Disarmament is the rule here.
[02:53] ---
    Hold it!
[02:54] ---
    Just try to lay a finger on my ship.
    You guys will be dead.
[02:59] ---
    Cleo!
[03:00] ---
    this ship will be placed under our control.
[03:06] ---
    Your swords and your ship
    will be returned to you
[03:08] ---
    once all of your business
    in this territory is finished,
[03:12] ---
    so please give your consent.
[03:44] ---
    Before long, a great war
    is going to break out.
[03:47] ---
    My word. How would you know this?
[03:50] ---
    Because the People's Army
    does not desire peace.
[03:53] ---
    My, how frightful.
[03:56] ---
    Yes, they truly are a frightful lot.
    You probably do not know this,
[04:02] ---
    but their violence is
    increasing steadily every day.
[04:07] ---
    They are commandeering territorial ships
    one after the next,
[04:09] ---
    taking them over by force.
[04:12] ---
    To the people, they are
    an object of terror.
[04:15] ---
    This is something that I cannot
    overlook as the Holy Emperor,
[04:18] ---
    so I have delegated Admiral Gerald,
[04:19] ---
    distinguished for having
    once led the Invincible Armada,
[04:23] ---
    to serve as my ace in the hole.
[04:26] ---
    Admiral Gerald is a man who
    has made great contributions...
[04:31] ---
    ...since His Excellency Vetti
    was made Holy Emperor.
[04:33] ---
    My, how auspicious.
[04:48] ---
    Violent resistance is easy to
    anticipate from the People's Army.
[04:52] ---
    Even if you were to use your neutrality
    as a shield to avoid the flames of war,
[04:56] ---
    can your safety really be assured?
[04:58] ---
    It is easy to escape
    the flames of war, Vetti.
[05:03] ---
    You people need only refrain from fighting.
[05:07] ---
    That will not be possible.
[05:11] ---
    Would you please excuse yourselves
    for a moment?
[05:21] ---
    Thank you for waiting.
[05:23] ---
    The Duchess of Bardeaux will see you now.
[06:00] ---
    It is a pleasure to finally meet you.
    My name is Michel Volban.
[06:04] ---
    This is Hector, and this is Cleo.
[06:14] ---
    These are some of the seafood products
[06:15] ---
    which can only be found
    in the lakes of Cavell territory.
[06:19] ---
    We have brought them with us,
[06:20] ---
    hoping that they are to
    the Duchess of Bardeaux's taste.
[06:23] ---
    I do not partake of anything
    that reeks of fish.
[06:29] ---
    It appears to me that
    the Duchess of Bardeaux
[06:33] ---
    is still being persnickety about the past.
[06:34] ---
    Excellency, what do you think?
[06:36] ---
    The aroma of Cassis,
    chocolate, and plums...
[06:42] ---
    Their scent lingers for a long time.
[06:45] ---
    Excellency?
[06:47] ---
    She's just trying to jack up her price.
[06:51] ---
    We cannot bear to overlook
    the penury of the people any longer.
[06:55] ---
    In order for us to overthrow
    the tyranny of the Holy Emperor,
[06:58] ---
    we would like to ask for
    the Duchess of Bardeaux's support.
[07:06] ---
    Duchess of Bardeaux,
    please give us your assistance.
[07:08] ---
    If war does break out, it is likely
    that you will not remain unharmed.
[07:13] ---
    I beg of you, please lend your
    support to the People's Army.
[07:18] ---
    Can you look upon the current state
    of the galaxy and think nothing of it?
[07:22] ---
    If you will give us your cooperation,
    we would consider rewarding you suitably.
[07:30] ---
    I hear you got dumped by Vetti, huh?
[07:38] ---
    You keep a straight face,
[07:39] ---
    but when it's all said and done,
    you got dumped by a man, didn't you?
[07:42] ---
    Cleo!
[07:43] ---
    This is no time to be bringing that up!
[07:46] ---
    All controlling rights and interests
    over the trade zones.
[07:52] ---
    You want to defeat the
    Holy Emperor's forces, don't you?
[07:56] ---
    Would you concede that?
[07:58] ---
    You said it, huh?
[08:00] ---
    Hey, she's taking advantage
    of your position.
[08:04] ---
    Sure, you can have them.
[08:06] ---
    Cleo-san!
[08:07] ---
    My, what a wonderful answer.
[08:11] ---
    Duchess of Bardeaux,
    please excuse us for a moment.
[08:14] ---
    In the meantime, we ask that we
    be allowed to put off our response.
[08:19] ---
    Come on!
[08:21] ---
    I do not mind. I will be expecting
    a favorable answer when you return.
[08:48] ---
    What the hell are you thinking?!
[08:51] ---
    This is going nowhere.
[08:52] ---
    For all of your trying to sound her out,
    she's just black-hearted.
[08:56] ---
    There are other merchants,
    and they won't put up with it!
[09:00] ---
    Then you can just create
    new trade zones, can't you?
[09:04] ---
    It's not that easy!
[09:06] ---
    No, there is some merit to
    what Cleo-san is saying.
[09:11] ---
    If someone as influential
    as B.B. sides with us,
[09:14] ---
    many other aristocrats
    will view B.B.'s decision
[09:17] ---
    as a shift in the balance of power
    in the universe.
[09:19] ---
    What, it's a numbers game again?
[09:22] ---
    Michel, under the circumstances,
    let's accept any conditions she offers.
[09:26] ---
    Our goal is to attain victory over
    the Holy Emperor's forces, is it not?
[09:38] ---
    This year's grape crop is not that good.
[09:45] ---
    I can't have a war breaking out
    on top of that.
[09:51] ---
    The People's Army is the culprit behind it.
    There is only one way to prevent war,
[09:57] ---
    and that is to ally yourself with us.
[09:59] ---
    Our overwhelming force will
    serve as a deterrent to war.
[10:04] ---
    What you want is my name
    and my money. Speak plainly.
[10:10] ---
    What we want is more than that.
[10:13] ---
    Such as?
[10:14] ---
    Peace.
[10:22] ---
    Oh my goodness,
    for you to say such a word!
[10:27] ---
    I wonder if next year's crop
    will be poor, too!
[10:31] ---
    It is no laughing matter.
[10:34] ---
    My, how rude of me.
[10:36] ---
    Still, Vetti, if Bardeaux were to side
    with the Holy Emperor's forces,
[10:41] ---
    what would be in it for me?
[10:43] ---
    As I said, under the protection
    of the Holy Emperor's forces,
[10:47] ---
    --your position would be-
[10:47] ---
    --Oh, I'm sorry.
[10:49] ---
    Perhaps that was too difficult
    for you to understand.
[10:53] ---
    Will you arrange for
    anything that I want?
[10:57] ---
    Very well, whatever you wish.
[11:00] ---
    Really?
[11:08] ---
    You there, cut off Vetti's head
    for me, right here and now.
[11:17] ---
    Just kidding! I don't even want it!
[11:20] ---
    How about this?
[11:22] ---
    Bardeaux territory is neutral,
    and the largest trading power.
[11:27] ---
    What if we offered you the expediency...
[11:29] ---
    ...of being the sole purveyor of
    Bardeaux wine for the Holy Emperor?
[11:31] ---
    All controlling rights and
    interests over the trade zones.
[11:35] ---
    You are asking too much.
[11:37] ---
    In that case, we have
    nothing more to discuss.
[11:40] ---
    May we ask you to postpone your decision?
    We will return to Côte-d'Or,
[11:44] ---
    and offer our response
    after consultation there.
[11:46] ---
    The Emperor himself is here,
[11:49] ---
    yet you haven't the authority
    to give me an immediate answer?
[11:55] ---
    See our guests off.
[11:58] ---
    I will go consider your request
    in the next room.
[12:23] ---
    All rights and interests will
    belong to Bardeaux territory.
[12:27] ---
    If we are in agreement,
    then sign the entente.
[12:47] ---
    Please wait here for me. I will bring you
    a souvenir from Bardeaux territory.
[12:52] ---
    Until then, I will hold this near my heart
    as I sleep, thinking of you.
[13:14] ---
    I wish you victory. May good fortune
    be visited upon us both this day.
[13:21] ---
    Thank you so much.
[13:23] ---
    Have you considered any other means
    besides going to war?
[13:27] ---
    Huh?
[13:29] ---
    Of course we have.
[13:31] ---
    War does nothing but consume,
    and is grossly unproductive.
[13:37] ---
    You are quite correct.
[13:39] ---
    Normally, seeking for peaceful paths,
    and not relying on force,
[13:44] ---
    is the duty that we who lead
    the People's Army consider at all times.
[13:48] ---
    However, there is also something to be lost
[13:51] ---
    by resigning oneself
    to a life of blasé peace.
[13:53] ---
    The words of those who choose war
    are the same, in any age.
[13:58] ---
    Do you deny our need to go to war?
[14:01] ---
    No, it is just amusing how similar
    your respective assertions are.
[14:07] ---
    Our respective?
[14:09] ---
    Then someone else has
    already contacted you-
[14:12] ---
    someone with the same goal.
[14:14] ---
    It's Vetti, isn't it?!
[14:15] ---
    Stop, Cleo!
[14:16] ---
    I must feed my people as well.
[14:20] ---
    My only interest is in which faction
    will be more beneficial to me.
[14:25] ---
    If you wish to go to war, then so be it.
[14:27] ---
    However, if any harm
    comes to my vineyards...
[14:31] ---
    ...that's when you should say your prayers.
[14:36] ---
    Well then, have a pleasant day.
[14:39] ---
    Hold up.
[14:41] ---
    What did Vetti say to you?
[14:44] ---
    Cleo!
[14:45] ---
    You seem to be quite obsessed
    with Vetti Sforza. Why might that be?
[14:51] ---
    I don't know. He just makes my blood boil.
[14:56] ---
    My, how wonderful.
[14:57] ---
    You'll understand for yourself
    if you ever cross swords with him.
[15:01] ---
    What would you like to
    do with Vetti Sforza?
[15:05] ---
    Settle our score.
[15:07] ---
    Is that all?
[15:08] ---
    Yeah, that's all.
[15:10] ---
    Ah... that is all...
[15:14] ---
    Monsieur Volban, you have
    a fascinating partner there.
[15:20] ---
    I beg you,
[15:22] ---
    please marry Vetti-sama.
[15:25] ---
    I am not foolish enough
    to exchange vows with a clown.
[15:30] ---
    Vetti-sama is not a clown!
[15:33] ---
    Oh, dear. Are you okay?
[15:36] ---
    I'm fine.
[15:39] ---
    There are those who express their love
    the way that Vetti-sama does.
[15:43] ---
    What are you to him?
[15:46] ---
    What I am doesn't matter.
[15:48] ---
    Vetti-sama needs you.
[15:52] ---
    Why?
[15:54] ---
    Well, it's...
[15:56] ---
    Tell me why.
[15:59] ---
    Because I'm... not good enough...
[16:02] ---
    You love him, don't you?
[16:05] ---
    You're not being honest with yourself.
[16:09] ---
    Please, agree to marry Vetti-sama.
[16:13] ---
    I'm sure that you will come to know
    Vetti-sama's magnificence, too.
[16:17] ---
    Sometimes, love begins once you are wed.
[16:21] ---
    I'm sorry for intruding.
[16:34] ---
    Will you join me in a toast?
[16:36] ---
    To... what?
[16:38] ---
    Something wonderful has happened,
    though I cannot tell you about it.
[16:47] ---
    You mean that someone
    has met your asking price.
[16:52] ---
    Perhaps.
[16:53] ---
    Perchance, the next thing you will
    be drinking is the wine of blood.
[17:01] ---
    I look forward to it, but it couldn't
    possibly compare to Bardeaux wine.
[17:17] ---
    Excellency!
[17:18] ---
    Please stop, Your Excellency!
[17:24] ---
    My guests will be leaving now.
    Well then, have a pleasant day.
[19:12] ---
    I have resigned myself to the fact
    that I will receive criticism
[19:15] ---
    that this is a political marriage.
[19:17] ---
    I do understand your feelings of hesitation
    about entering into a loveless marriage.
[19:23] ---
    Then why are you so desirous that
    I should marry the Holy Emperor?
[19:29] ---
    Because your happiness
[19:30] ---
    is connected to the happiness
    of the universe as a whole.
[19:34] ---
    My happiness?
[19:37] ---
    There are two kinds of leaders
    who guide their people.
[19:40] ---
    Once kind exercises authority over them.
[19:43] ---
    The other is the kind that
    bolsters the souls of the people
[19:46] ---
    through their teachings, or prayer.
[19:48] ---
    When these two elements become one,
[19:52] ---
    the lives and souls of the people
    are watched over.
[19:55] ---
    Once you wed the Holy Emperor,
    and obtain an unwavering happiness,
[20:00] ---
    you will be doing no less than looking after
    every living being in the universe.
[20:06] ---
    In my responsibilities
    and duties as the one
[20:08] ---
    who presides over the Cross-Star religion,
[20:11] ---
    I must ensure that my own parental
    desires for my daughter's happiness...
[20:15] ---
    ...are linked to the well-being
    of the entire universe.
[20:19] ---
    However, there is one thing
    that I know for certain.
[20:23] ---
    And that is that I love my daughter,
[20:25] ---
    and that I am a faint-hearted father,
    who wants his daughter to be happy.
[20:31] ---
    I hope that you at least
    understand my hope for you.
[20:40] ---
    We have sighted red fireworks
    from His Excellency Vetti's ship.
[20:45] ---
    So the negotiations have
    ended in failure, have they?
[20:49] ---
    In that case, how about we launch a strike
    against them for everything we're worth?
[21:14] ---
    You never change, huh, my boy?
[21:16] ---
    It's an attack!
    The vineyards have been lost!
[21:19] ---
    What could be going on?
[21:21] ---
    Now you've done it, haven't you, Vetti-san?
[21:26] ---
    He's broken the neutral zone accords!
    The Holy Emperor, of all people!
[21:38] ---
    They sure are a crafty bunch, huh?
[21:40] ---
    "Like a Demon"
[21:48] ---
    It's twilight already in the
    glass city of mistaken notions
[21:54] ---
    where we exchanged farewells
    among the countless lights.
[22:00] ---
    After making that pinky promise,
    the finger that lied to you
[22:06] ---
    developed a hangnail,
    and still hurts a little even now.
[22:11] ---
    We called each other's names,
    we spoke each other's names,
[22:14] ---
    and the world where you and I
    once met keeps spinning around.
[22:20] ---
    After these tears fall,
    will they be forgotten?
[22:25] ---
    After the sadness melts away,
    will I be able to see?
[22:31] ---
    Quivering and shimmering
    in this glistening world,
[22:37] ---
    they grow cold and dry up
    as I grasp them in my hands.
[22:42] ---
    Even if this world were made of nothing
[22:48] ---
    but lies and nonsense,
    I probably wouldn't care.
[22:54] ---
    Somewhere on this world,
    I am here singing,
[22:59] ---
    so please, may you be
    here on this world, smiling.
[23:14] ---
    A mask over the heart
    comes loose and falls.
[23:16] ---
    What is it that the young lady
    from the Cross-Star religion,
[23:18] ---
    with the finely honed
    claws of desire, will witness?
[23:21] ---
    Next time on Glass Fleet,
    "Like a Hungry Wolf"
[23:25] ---
    The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.
[23:26] ---
    "Like a Hungry Wolf"
