[00:16] ---
    The fathomless reaches of space...
[00:19] ---
    ...blanketed in darkness,
    without sound or wind...
[00:23] ---
    We were raised in space,
    where there is no wind.
[00:27] ---
    But he was different.
[00:32] ---
    Cleo, you were the wind.
[00:36] ---
    I will never forget the gust of wind that
    blew in from the far end of the galaxy.
[01:20] ---
    I may have a habit of running away
    as soon as anything bad occurs,

[01:27] ---
    but no matter what happens,
    I'm not going to run away now.

[01:34] ---
    I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
    even though I understand it in my mind,

[01:41] ---
    but since I am aiming higher,
    I'm not going to cry now.

[01:48] ---
    I'm tired of hearing that
    things will turn out all right.

[01:50] ---
    Don't bury your head in your hands.
[01:52] ---
    Instead give your positive gauge a clip!
[01:53] ---
    In time it will all feel
    just like it should!

[01:57] ---
    Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
    etched in my mind

[02:03] ---
    that someday, this will all be real.
[02:10] ---
    Both the unchanging mornings
    and the never-ending nights.

[02:16] ---
    I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.
[02:54] ---
    Now then, how about we get going?
[02:57] ---
    We're already going!
[03:01] ---
    W- what was that?!
[03:03] ---
    Its profile doesn't match anything!
[03:05] ---
    We've never seen anything
    with that configuration!
[03:07] ---
    What shall we do?
[03:09] ---
    Isn't that obvious?
[03:10] ---
    Yes, sir!
[03:11] ---
    Open gunports! Shoot it down!
[03:15] ---
    Code deciphered.
[03:16] ---
    Incoming fire from all turrets.
[03:19] ---
    Too late for that!
[03:27] ---
    It's fast!
[03:28] ---
    Haven't you got them yet?
[03:30] ---
    They're too fast.
[03:35] ---
    Shut that little fly up.
[03:47] ---
    You bulky, good-for-nothing fool!
[03:59] ---
    Incredible...
[04:07] ---
    What's the matter?
[04:08] ---
    Don't ask me! Badat, there's not
    enough output! What's going on?!
[04:13] ---
    Looks like that last shot woke me up.
[04:16] ---
    You're so slow!
[04:18] ---
    Wake them up, as well.
[04:20] ---
    You don't have to tell me!
[04:22] ---
    Tenfold return fire!
[04:36] ---
    We're not getting anywhere like this!
[04:41] ---
    Pierce their heart.
[04:44] ---
    I've been waiting for this! You're going
    to show me your sexy dance tonight!
[04:49] ---
    Analyzing soleil location...
[04:57] ---
    Loading coordinates!
[04:59] ---
    Take this!
[05:05] ---
    W- what was that?!
[05:07] ---
    Changeover!
[05:36] ---
    Have they... transformed?
[05:41] ---
    L- let's get Michel-sama out now,
    while we can!
[05:44] ---
    Right!
[05:48] ---
    T- they're coming right at us!
[05:50] ---
    Open all gunports! Full salvo!
[05:58] ---
    Your thrashing about is undignified.
[06:05] ---
    Was that?!
[06:06] ---
    The crest of the royal family?
[06:32] ---
    I've found you...
[06:33] ---
    Total victory!
[06:36] ---
    No it wasn't! Eimer, what happened?
[06:40] ---
    I- it wasn't me! It was Nowy!
[06:43] ---
    You deciphered it wrong!
[06:45] ---
    It wasn't me. It was Eimer's pilot error.
[06:49] ---
    --What?! I dare you to say that again!
[06:51] ---
    --Stop! Stop!
[06:54] ---
    We've done it again, huh? And here I was
    hoping to feed you your fill of soleil.
[07:00] ---
    That's okay, there's still
    one more patsy out there.
[07:04] ---
    Go on, say it again!
[07:06] ---
    Huh?
[07:07] ---
    Michel-sama!
[07:08] ---
    Michel-sama! Are you hurt?
[07:11] ---
    Never mind me, can we get
    any closer to that ship?
[07:13] ---
    Huh?
[07:14] ---
    We've finally found our savior!
[07:17] ---
    Michel-sama?
[07:30] ---
    Let's see now, where's the treasure?
[07:42] ---
    Oh, there are people aboard.
[07:46] ---
    You are the captain, right?
[07:48] ---
    Forgive me for not recognizing you!
    Your tactics, your strategy!
[07:51] ---
    What kind of ship is that?
[07:53] ---
    What is your objective? No,
    let me start with asking who you are!
[07:57] ---
    Who are you?
[08:01] ---
    How rude of me. My name is
    Michel Volban, of the People's Army.
[08:06] ---
    Ah! Is it really Michel Volban?
[08:09] ---
    Oh, the People's Army, huh? What's that?
[08:13] ---
    An antiestablishment movement
    that has been on the rise lately.
[08:16] ---
    But Michel Volban here is
    a sort of symbol to them.
[08:21] ---
    Oh, yeah? Nice going there.
[08:24] ---
    Whatever, just sit here quietly
    while we take your fuel.
[08:30] ---
    Michel-sama, these people are pirates.
[08:34] ---
    You're going to pay for saying that.
[08:37] ---
    I'm going to take this one!
[08:40] ---
    Michel-sama!
[08:42] ---
    Then I'm going to take this girlie!
[08:47] ---
    You ruffian!
[08:49] ---
    You'd be better off not defying us.
[08:51] ---
    Michel-sama!
[08:52] ---
    Stop!
[08:54] ---
    Have you no shame?
[08:57] ---
    Who, me?
[08:58] ---
    Or did you mean yourself?
[09:13] ---
    Vetti-sama, do you like roses the best?
[09:16] ---
    How about you, Ralph?
[09:19] ---
    Hmm... I do think they are pretty,
    but I hate their thorns.
[09:25] ---
    Is that right?
[09:31] ---
    Vetti-sama!
[09:33] ---
    Pain is something
    that accompanies affection.
[09:37] ---
    I'm not sure I understand.
[09:40] ---
    Vetti-sama...
[09:43] ---
    We've received a report
    from Baron Maconnais.
[09:46] ---
    He let Michel get away, didn't he?
[09:48] ---
    Huh?
[09:49] ---
    Those who fail us...
[09:52] ---
    ...must be punished.
[10:08] ---
    We're done.
[10:11] ---
    They were out of soleil, though.
[10:14] ---
    Ha! You've been drinking!
[10:16] ---
    Don't be absurd!
    I just had a little taste.
[10:19] ---
    Oh! That's a '64 Bardeaux!
[10:23] ---
    What savages!
[10:31] ---
    Farewell, people. Farewell forever.
[10:34] ---
    If we ever do meet again,
    we can exchange smiles.
[10:39] ---
    Well, bye-bye!
[10:46] ---
    Wait!
[10:51] ---
    You're going to take us with you.
[10:54] ---
    Are you going to throw us a banquet?
[10:57] ---
    Let's do that!
[10:59] ---
    You keep quiet, boozer!
[11:01] ---
    Now that you have rescued us,
[11:03] ---
    you should see your duty
    through to the end.
[11:05] ---
    We weren't trying to rescue you.
[11:08] ---
    If you leave us here, and we are
    found by the Holy Emperor's forces,
[11:12] ---
    we will all be put to death!
[11:14] ---
    I'm very sorry to hear that.
[11:17] ---
    If it's treasure you want,
[11:19] ---
    then you'll receive a huge reward
    for turning me over to the People's Army.
[11:23] ---
    That sounds good, doesn't it? Supplies will
    be easy to come by from the People's Army.
[11:28] ---
    I second that!
[11:29] ---
    Unfortunately...
[11:32] ---
    ...I hold to only putting
    what I like in my pocket.
[11:40] ---
    Then kill me right here and now!
[11:48] ---
    --Michel-sama!
[11:48] ---
    --Michel-sama!
[11:59] ---
    Hmph. Either take up the sword,
    or take me, is that it?
[12:09] ---
    The wind weeps.
[12:18] ---
    We took intensive return fire
    from the People's Army fleet,
[12:21] ---
    but under the power of the great
    Holy Emperor, we overcame it.
[12:25] ---
    But just as we were one step away
    from victory, by chance,
[12:28] ---
    we were assaulted by a bracered,
[12:30] ---
    and if I do say so myself, we made
    every effort we could to withstand it.
[12:34] ---
    While you were eating supper?
[12:36] ---
    N- n- not at all!
[12:38] ---
    What's more, the bracered
    didn't come upon you by chance,
[12:41] ---
    you were drawn into it hook,
    line and sinker, right?
[12:44] ---
    N-No!
[12:46] ---
    Just before we
    apprehended Michel, this time,
[12:48] ---
    a glass fleet with the crest
    of the royal family appeared.
[12:52] ---
    Oh yeah? So you're calling a
    single small ship a great fleet?
[12:56] ---
    W- well, I...
[12:58] ---
    I deciphered all
    of your codes, you know.
[13:04] ---
    Convey this to the people:
[13:06] ---
    Baron Maconnais personally took
    responsibility by atoning with his own life.
[13:11] ---
    P- please forgive me, Your Excellency!
[13:15] ---
    You should be grateful to me. I am
    protecting your honor, after all.
[13:20] ---
    Vetti-sama!
[13:22] ---
    I gratefully accept your tribute.
[13:25] ---
    No!! I don't want to be purged!!
[13:32] ---
    The crest of the royal family, he said?
[13:36] ---
    It must be a story he fabricated.
    He's a disgrace to the nobility.
[13:42] ---
    What shall we do?
[13:43] ---
    If there is a rose there, it will bloom.
[13:46] ---
    Huh?
[13:46] ---
    Must we investigate
    everything immediately?
[13:50] ---
    Once the snow melts,
    it will appear on its own.
[13:53] ---
    That's what you meant, right, Vetti-sama?
[13:58] ---
    Ralph, you're so smart.
[14:01] ---
    As you wish.
[14:04] ---
    Our fun has been put off again, Michel...
[14:07] ---
    Someday, I will wholly conquer you,
[14:10] ---
    as you lie drenched
    in tears of humiliation.
[14:12] ---
    And at the same time, my dreams
    of galactic conquest will come true.
[14:18] ---
    You were just thinking
    about Michel, weren't you?
[14:24] ---
    Vetti-sama,
[14:26] ---
    I was thinking that Count John Fall
    would be the best man
[14:29] ---
    to send to capture Michel next.
[14:31] ---
    You're pairing a rose with a beast?
    You'll never learn, will you?
[14:39] ---
    Pope Gorna has arrived!
[14:50] ---
    My, my...
[14:51] ---
    for the Pope himself to come in person,
    there must be some sort of urgent matter.
[14:57] ---
    Considering how busy Your Excellency is,
[15:00] ---
    it is only proper
    that I should come to you.
[15:07] ---
    Have you come to a determination?
[15:09] ---
    Oh, about what, now?
[15:14] ---
    I see you enjoy pulling my leg, as usual.
[15:17] ---
    About taking the vows
    with my daughter, Rachel.
[15:21] ---
    We did speak about that, didn't we?
[15:24] ---
    She has come of age, and I am
    looking forward to your answer today.
[15:29] ---
    I believe I told you earlier
    that it is not yet time.
[15:34] ---
    Then when will that time be?
[15:37] ---
    You are aware that a faction
    called the People's Army
[15:40] ---
    is attempting to
    overthrow my empire, correct?
[15:44] ---
    Such things are like an infection. It will
    disappear after two or three days of fever.
[15:50] ---
    The real problem is lovesickness.
[15:53] ---
    It can be difficult. This fever doesn't
    go away after two or three days.
[15:58] ---
    What are you trying to say?
[16:01] ---
    Michel Volban. Why are you so
    particular about someone like him?
[16:07] ---
    I wish to pay him back. That's all.
[16:13] ---
    You've gotten weaker.
[16:15] ---
    that I must attend to.
[16:35] ---
    Welcome to our ship!
[16:38] ---
    W- what is all this?
[16:41] ---
    We've been an all-male crew
    for quite a while, after all.
[16:45] ---
    My glasses! My glasses!
    Where are my glasses?
[16:48] ---
    There's a lady here too, you know!
[16:49] ---
    A lady wouldn't slug me.
[16:52] ---
    I'm a fighting lady! Hey, you!
[16:55] ---
    Where are you going?
[16:56] ---
    Cleaning, laundry, dishwashing-
    there's lots here for you to do.
[17:00] ---
    Why should I have to
    clean up after you guys?
[17:04] ---
    Who else is going to prepare meals
    for Michel-san if you don't do it?
[17:07] ---
    W- well...
[17:13] ---
    Oh, my, you're going to help me?
[17:29] ---
    Are you certain we
    should be joining a group
[17:31] ---
    with such a questionable background?
[17:34] ---
    This is unusual-
    you offering me your opinion.
[17:39] ---
    Please excuse me.
[17:40] ---
    That's okay. But you saw how
    they fought, right? And this ship...
[17:47] ---
    This is precisely what
    the People's Army is lacking.
[17:50] ---
    Still, we know the intentions
    of this pirate-like gang.
[17:55] ---
    Michel-sama, do you really
    believe that man to be our savior?
[18:04] ---
    I'm going to have you guys
    repair your ship.
[18:06] ---
    Out here?!
[18:08] ---
    There's a suitable place
    to do it nearby. Orleans.
[18:12] ---
    You don't mean you're
    going to land on a planet?
[18:17] ---
    Life is an opera that goes on forever,
[18:22] ---
    a gorgeous, luxurious banquet,
[18:24] ---
    soleil draped in a manteau,
[18:28] ---
    turning daytime to night.
[18:31] ---
    O night, night when my love is fulfilled,
[18:32] ---
    Ah, you're like the
    innocent little flower bud.
[18:35] ---
    if love is blind, then may this
    modest night go on forever.

[18:36] ---
    Come with me,
    and with the breath of summer,
[18:38] ---
    let us blossom into beautiful flowers.
[18:40] ---
    I swear on yonder distant Black Cross
    that I will be your love slave until I die,
[18:42] ---
    The purest treasure that mankind
    can have is an exalted birth and fame.

[18:46] ---
    if you will take pity on me,
    and allow me this dance.
[18:50] ---
    If those were to disappear,
    then life would be a mere clump of dirt.

[18:50] ---
    This isn't really my style.
[18:53] ---
    This is how the nobility enjoy themselves.
    Come on, let's go further in.
[18:58] ---
    Wow, would you look over here!
[18:59] ---
    May our ball repeat itself every night,
    an eternal minuet.

[19:00] ---
    Could this be a faerie?
[19:02] ---
    Or perhaps he is a devil.
[19:03] ---
    --I know! He's actually the cupid of love!
[19:04] ---
    --Uh... um...
[19:08] ---
    Life is the scent of honey,
    a velvet false mole,

[19:09] ---
    Ah! Please wait!
[19:11] ---
    No you don't! We're not
    letting you get away!
[19:15] ---
    sweet lips, rose perfume,
[19:19] ---
    spending the night singing arias
    and spreading gossip.

[19:26] ---
    Life is an opera, an everlasting ball.
[19:30] ---
    And daytime will never come...
[19:34] ---
    ...ever again!
[20:01] ---
    It's so foolish.
[20:04] ---
    To have to wear a mask in this world,
    full of untruth as it already is,
[20:08] ---
    and pretend to be someone you're not...
[20:12] ---
    We were well aware of that when we
    came here, weren't we? You and I alike.
[20:18] ---
    True beauty cannot be hidden,
    even behind a mask. That's what I thought.
[20:24] ---
    You said a moment ago that
    this world was full of untruth.
[20:30] ---
    There are times when untruth
    becomes the truth.
[20:34] ---
    Untruth... becomes truth?
[20:42] ---
    Ah! Here's where you are!
[20:45] ---
    Oh, dear, he's found me already.
[20:49] ---
    Well, if you'll excuse me...
[20:53] ---
    Geez, I've been looking all over for you.
[21:02] ---
    If you're going to be
    playing with fire like this,
[21:05] ---
    are you sure you should be going forward
    with talks to marry Pope Gorna's daughter?
[21:09] ---
    My, my, Lord Conrad, does that anger you?
[21:13] ---
    The power of our Holy Empire
    is already absolute.
[21:17] ---
    There's no reason to involve
    the Cross-Star religion at this point.
[21:20] ---
    No, power alone is not enough.
[21:23] ---
    In order to completely control the galaxy,
[21:25] ---
    the masses must also
    pay their respect to us.
[21:28] ---
    To that end, I'm saying it might be best
    if I took the crown upon myself
[21:32] ---
    as the first Holy Emperor.
[21:35] ---
    Ridiculous. They may have a military
    that was trained since childhood,
[21:38] ---
    but they are a cowardly bunch, who are
    very reluctant to get their hands dirty.
[21:42] ---
    If blood is shed, we will only
    incur the hostility of the people.
[21:46] ---
    Well then, what to do?
[21:54] ---
    I will go and ask for an answer.
[22:10] ---
    Are you really that opposed
    to landing on a planet?
[22:13] ---
    No, but there was one thing
    that I wanted to ask you.
[22:16] ---
    Hurry up and ask it.
[22:19] ---
    Why does this ship bear
    the crest of the royal family?
[22:22] ---
    Because I carry the
    blood of the royal family.
[22:25] ---
    You?
[22:26] ---
    Is that so strange?
[22:29] ---
    The royal family was supposed to have
    been wiped out over 20 years ago.
[22:32] ---
    Which is why I'm going to restore it.
[22:34] ---
    Restore it how?
[22:36] ---
    Isn't it obvious? I'm going
    to take over everything.
[22:41] ---
    But what can you do with just one ship?
[22:45] ---
    Good question. For now, I'm going
    to win, and win, and win again.
[22:49] ---
    In time, whoever is strongest
    will come forward.
[22:52] ---
    Once I defeat him, I will be in charge.
[22:55] ---
    Are you serious?!
[22:57] ---
    Hey, would you stop
    calling me "you" already?
[23:00] ---
    That's because you
    won't tell me your name!
[23:04] ---
    That was rude of me.
[23:06] ---
    Remember this. My name is...
[23:11] ---
    Cleo of the Wind.
[23:14] ---
    "Like the Wind"
[23:23] ---
    It's twilight already in the
    glass city of mistaken notions

[23:29] ---
    as we exchange farewells
    among the countless lights.

[23:34] ---
    After making that pinky promise,
    the finger that lied to you

[23:40] ---
    developed a hangnail,
    and still hurts a little even now.

[23:46] ---
    We called each other's names,
    we spoke each other's names,

[23:49] ---
    and the world where you and I
    once met keeps spinning around.

[23:55] ---
    After these tears fall,
    will they be forgotten?

[24:00] ---
    After the sadness melts away,
    will I be able to see?

[24:06] ---
    Quivering and shimmering
    in this glistening world,

[24:12] ---
    they grow cold and dry up
    as I grasp them in my hands.

[24:17] ---
    Even if this world were made of nothing
[24:23] ---
    but lies and nonsense,
    I probably wouldn't care.

[24:28] ---
    Somewhere on this world,
    I am here singing,

[24:34] ---
    so please, may you be
    here on this world, smiling.

[24:50] ---
    The gears of destiny go into motion
    on the garbage heap of a planet Orleans.
[24:54] ---
    What is the meaning of the future
    that the prophet tells of?
[24:57] ---
    Next time on Glass Fleet, "Like Destiny"
[25:00] ---
    "Like Destiny"
[25:01] ---
    The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.
