"Now, when the roses
are past their season,
[00:22] ---
"what a rose is this,
to know its first bud!
[00:26] ---
"A single stem, with its shining,
belated blossom;
[00:29] ---
"its vibrant colors more than
compensating for its tardiness."
[00:34] ---
That day, I remembered this poem...
[00:38] ---
...when I saw you once again,
riding the wind like a winged horse,
[00:43] ---
galloping across the galaxy.
[00:57] ---
I may have a habit of running away
as soon as anything bad occurs,
[01:04] ---
but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.
[01:11] ---
I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,
[01:18] ---
I'm not going to cry now.
[01:25] ---
I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.
[01:27] ---
Don't bury your head in your hands.
[01:28] ---
Instead give your positive gauge a clip!
[01:30] ---
In time it will all feel
just like it should!
[01:33] ---
Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind
[01:39] ---
that someday, this will all be real.
[01:47] ---
Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.
[01:53] ---
I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.
[02:13] ---
Honey...
[02:15] ---
LaCuree... Birdie...
[02:17] ---
Congratulations...
Now, you are finally free...
[02:22] ---
We won't ever forget you.
[02:25] ---
Or your youth.
[02:28] ---
Admiral, you were indeed legendary.
[02:33] ---
I am proud to have felt
the same wind that you did.
[02:39] ---
Farewell, Admiral.
[02:41] ---
Rest in peace.
[02:50] ---
Nowy, find a course through
the weakest part of the enemy attack!
[02:54] ---
Hold on...
[02:55] ---
Heizak, keep the enemy's attack
at a distance for a little bit!
[02:59] ---
As you command!
[03:05] ---
Can't you shake them off somehow?
[03:06] ---
This is all we've got!
[03:08] ---
There it is! There's one possible
course we can take at 2 o'clock!
[03:12] ---
Where?
[03:14] ---
The garbage heap planet.
[03:15] ---
Right! They won't come near us there!
[03:20] ---
Sylua!
[03:21] ---
Right!
[03:27] ---
Can't we go after
Vetti's ship right now?
[03:30] ---
No way, no way! We'll never
catch up to them in this thing.
[03:34] ---
No matter.
I know where he'll be going.
[03:38] ---
So what do we do?
[03:40] ---
If we go to get our ship back
in this gigantic thing,
[03:42] ---
we'll be too conspicuous.
[03:44] ---
And we're low on ammo, too.
[03:50] ---
Huh? I'm intercepting
a coded message.
[03:53] ---
It's coming from...
the Holy Emperor's forces!
[03:58] ---
Can you decipher it?
[03:59] ---
Let's see, what do we have here?
[04:02] ---
Urgent... support... glass battleship...
[04:09] ---
Cleo!
[04:18] ---
Where is it that you are taking me?
[04:23] ---
Where is my father?
[04:36] ---
This way.
[04:40] ---
What is this?
[04:58] ---
Connection to Côte-d'Or's
soleil complete.
[05:01] ---
Is it possible to operate it from here?
[05:03] ---
There are still several
hurdles in the way.
[05:06] ---
Hurry. If this takes too long,
Vetti will realize what is happening.
[05:11] ---
Father!
[05:13] ---
Oh, Rachel, you're here.
[05:16] ---
Never mind the incident
at the castle the other day,
[05:19] ---
what is going on here?
[05:20] ---
What in the world is this place?
[05:24] ---
I was thinking that it was about
time I told you everything.
[05:35] ---
The light and shadow of the Cross-Star
religion is assembled here.
[05:41] ---
Light and shadow...
[05:43] ---
You do know the final destination
spoken of in our scripture, right?
[05:49] ---
Of course I do.
[05:51] ---
"When ye, and all those who are with
ye after the manner of the flesh,
[05:55] ---
"do pass beyond the dark depths
of the Black Cross,
[05:59] ---
"ye shall obtain
an everlasting galaxy."
[06:04] ---
What about it?
[06:06] ---
The time we have been waiting
for has finally arrived.
[06:09] ---
The time when we will
reach the Black Cross,
[06:12] ---
and obtain immortality.
[06:17] ---
You know, don't you, that the galaxy,
slowly though it may be,
[06:23] ---
is already being drawn
toward the Black Cross?
[06:26] ---
Yes.
[06:28] ---
However, the nobility, who prosper
in the things of this world,
[06:32] ---
content themselves in
the day of their probation,
[06:34] ---
devoted to lining their own pockets,
[06:37] ---
and have forgotten the sublime spirit
of attaining the everlasting galaxy.
[06:42] ---
We cannot wait any longer.
[06:45] ---
We must reach the Black Cross
by our own power alone.
[06:49] ---
So that is why you need
Côte-d'Or's soleil?
[06:52] ---
Yes. We cannot leave it
to Vetti any longer.
[06:56] ---
But you should at least
discuss it with him.
[06:59] ---
If you speak to him, I'm sure that
Vetti-sama will understand.
[07:04] ---
The die has been cast.
[07:11] ---
Behold.
[07:12] ---
What is it?
[07:13] ---
The sword of the last king,
Magnus Corvalle.
[07:17] ---
What is something like
that doing here?
[07:20] ---
I killed the king with this sword.
[07:24] ---
Magnus did not understand
our sublime spirit,
[07:29] ---
and tried to eliminate
the Cross-Star religion.
[07:32] ---
Somebody had to kill him.
[07:37] ---
I committed a grave sin.
Even now, I am tormented by that sin.
[07:43] ---
However, it was all
for the people's sake.
[07:48] ---
The people?
[07:49] ---
Rachel, I commit this sword to you.
[07:58] ---
Are you telling me
[08:00] ---
that I am to bear the responsibilities
of the pope as well?
[08:03] ---
That is your destiny,
as one who was born my daughter.
[08:08] ---
However, this is also for
your beloved Vetti's sake.
[08:14] ---
For Vetti-sama?
[08:18] ---
Have we lost them?
[08:19] ---
Just a minute...
[08:21] ---
Deciphering code...
[08:23] ---
There are still Imperial
forces in front of us.
[08:25] ---
Feels like they're not letting
us get away, no matter what.
[08:30] ---
Full-speed evasive!
[08:31] ---
Roger!
[08:36] ---
With the royal family's
secret technologies,
[08:38] ---
I will knock the enemy off their perch!
[08:45] ---
Sylua, shake off the enemy
somehow and get us out of here!
[08:48] ---
Right!
[08:49] ---
With my beloved piloting us,
[08:52] ---
I will fire away, with you in my heart!
[09:00] ---
U- us not performing in tune
with each other is inopportune.
[09:04] ---
Sorry!
[09:15] ---
Settle down and recover!
[09:17] ---
Right!
[09:22] ---
The glass battleship has fallen silent!
[09:24] ---
Open all gunports!
Finish off the enemy ship! Fire!
[09:34] ---
The Imperial fleet is taking fire.
[09:36] ---
Reinforcements?!
[09:38] ---
Reinforcements? There's no reason
why we would have any right now!
[09:41] ---
What's going on?!
[09:42] ---
I don't know.
[09:43] ---
The attacks appear to be coming from
the other side of the meteor swarm.
[09:46] ---
What?!
[09:55] ---
What an enormous ship!
[09:57] ---
It appears to be an old
royal family warship.
[09:59] ---
What?!
[10:01] ---
N- no, that's...
[10:04] ---
...Admiral Gawain's flagship,
where I once served!
[10:10] ---
But that dauntless way in
which it is fighting is...
[10:14] ---
No, it couldn't be...
He's supposed to be dead...
[10:18] ---
Receiving a transmission
from that huge warship.
[10:21] ---
"Ride... my... wind..."
[10:42] ---
Eimer is there, too!
The two of them are safe!
[10:51] ---
You take it from here.
[10:53] ---
Where are you going?
[10:55] ---
Isn't that obvious? To my ship.
[10:58] ---
No fair! Take me with you!
[11:01] ---
Come hard about
and slip through them.
[11:03] ---
Only you can perform that trick.
[11:11] ---
Cleo is coming here!
[11:13] ---
How is he planning to get here?!
[11:19] ---
H- hey, chief!
[12:01] ---
Cleo!
[12:02] ---
Michel!
[12:09] ---
Cleo! Cleo!
[12:17] ---
Come on! Come on! Shoot at me!
[12:20] ---
Having a target this huge
makes it easy to aim, right?!
[12:32] ---
Isn't Cleo there yet?!
[12:34] ---
You sure seem youthful!
[12:37] ---
Hey! Sorry to keep you waiting!
[12:40] ---
Cleo!
[12:41] ---
We'll skip the greetings.
[12:44] ---
It's been so long,
how about we get going?
[12:46] ---
All right!
[12:48] ---
We're counting on you.
[12:49] ---
Make a run at the center
of the enemy fleet!
[12:52] ---
Badat, maximum power!
[12:54] ---
Right!
[12:55] ---
Nowy, tell Eimer to act as a decoy
toward the center of the enemy fleet!
[13:00] ---
You got it.
[13:01] ---
Sylua, set course 1-5 to starboard!
[13:03] ---
Right!
[13:04] ---
Heizak, don't forget our gifts!
[13:07] ---
As you command!
[13:21] ---
Act as a decoy?!
[13:23] ---
That bastard! That's a real
pickle he's asking us to get into!
[13:27] ---
Still, three flagships
are all that remain.
[13:29] ---
Port cannons are out of ammunition!
[13:32] ---
Same here!
[13:35] ---
All right, let me handle this!
[13:43] ---
Start by disposing of that rustbucket!
[13:45] ---
All ships, get the enemy vessel
into the crossfire point!
[13:50] ---
Pierce their hearts.
[13:51] ---
I've been waiting for this!
It's been a long time!
[13:55] ---
Analyzing soleil location...
[13:58] ---
Sylua!
[13:59] ---
It's all right!
I can pull this off, just watch!
[14:02] ---
Loading coordinates!
[14:05] ---
Take this!
[14:11] ---
Changeover!
[14:39] ---
Sylua...
[14:40] ---
Yes?!
[14:41] ---
Believe in yourself.
[14:45] ---
Right!
[15:05] ---
Yes...
[15:07] ---
Once we reach the Black Cross,
and obtain the everlasting galaxy,
[15:12] ---
maybe Vetti-sama's heart will change.
[15:18] ---
Please come back soon, Vetti-sama...
[15:26] ---
"The box that maketh
the two-headed eagle
[15:29] ---
"doth sleep within the child of stars.
[15:31] ---
"He who seeketh it
shall reawaken it," huh?
[15:35] ---
Yes, that's what Guildy-sama said.
So I'm going to find the star box.
[15:42] ---
For you, Vetti-sama!
[15:44] ---
I'm looking forward to it.
[15:45] ---
Right! Also, I had a thought
about that other prophecy.
[15:52] ---
Vetti-sama, you said that
Rachel was the god of love,
[15:56] ---
but I don't think that's true.
[15:58] ---
Oh? Then who do you think it is?
[16:01] ---
Well... it's probably... um...
[16:06] ---
Vetti-sama, I'm all done.
[16:08] ---
As I anticipated, your wound from
the other day is completely healed.
[16:12] ---
As you anticipated?
[16:13] ---
Yes.
[16:15] ---
The same was true of that man Cleo.
[16:18] ---
The effects of having soleil
within his body
[16:20] ---
gave him surprising
recuperative abilities.
[16:23] ---
So that's it... It was you, after all...
[16:29] ---
You're the one who fills me with
[16:32] ---
the unspeakable loneliness
that pierces my heart.
[16:36] ---
I swear I will defeat you,
and subdue everything about you...
[16:41] ---
Cleo...
[16:48] ---
Eimer!
[16:50] ---
Nowy!
[16:52] ---
--Have you been doing
all right, you little...
[16:53] ---
--Stop it! Cut it out!
[16:57] ---
Huh? My glasses!
Huh? My glasses...
[16:59] ---
--You're the same as ever.
[17:00] ---
--Where are my glasses?
[17:01] ---
Same goes for you, too.
[17:03] ---
Youth!
[17:10] ---
My glasses...
[17:11] ---
We picked up this whole bunch
on that garbage heap planet.
[17:14] ---
Be good to them, will you?
[17:17] ---
By the way, who was it that
was piloting the ship earlier?
[17:20] ---
That was me.
[17:21] ---
You, Sylua?! A brat like you
can pull off heart piercing?!
[17:25] ---
I'm not lying to you!
Everyone here is a witness!
[17:28] ---
They all exploded because you
missed the target, you know!
[17:32] ---
It was pretty good for my first time.
[17:34] ---
What, you want a contest?
[17:36] ---
I was hoping you'd say that!
[17:38] ---
All right! We'll settle this right now!
[17:40] ---
That's fine with me! You think
you're the only one who can do it?!
[17:43] ---
I want to thank you.
[17:46] ---
For getting my ship back.
[17:50] ---
I have something else
to give back to you.
[17:59] ---
Thank you.
[18:00] ---
You've changed a little bit.
[18:04] ---
Have I?
[18:16] ---
Welcome home.
[18:18] ---
You're still awake?
[18:22] ---
It's only right that a wife
awaits her husband's return.
[18:26] ---
I'm tired tonight.
Go sleep in another room.
[18:30] ---
Another room? Why should I,
when we have exchanged vows?
[18:34] ---
Then I will leave.
[18:36] ---
Please wait. I need to talk to you...
[18:42] ---
...about the future of the galaxy...
[18:55] ---
Excuse the interruption
while you are fatigued...
[18:58] ---
Doesn't matter. What is it?
[19:00] ---
The glass battleship, as well as what
is reportedly Gawain's giant warship,
[19:05] ---
have entered Bardeaux territory.
[19:07] ---
Which means that, naturally...
[19:09] ---
Yes. It is still touch-and-go whether
or not B.B. will work with them,
[19:13] ---
but they undoubtedly have
but one objective:
[19:16] ---
the formation of a new People's Army.
[19:18] ---
We don't need to wait for
B.B.'s decision anymore.
[19:21] ---
That old lady can run
to the ends of the world,
[19:24] ---
or provoke antagonism among
the baronage, I don't really care.
[19:27] ---
Crush anyone who opposes us.
[19:29] ---
With that in mind,
I have made ready an elite unit.
[19:37] ---
Excellency, it is a pleasure
to meet you. I am Ulugh Sahne.
[19:45] ---
Michel-sama, thank goodness,
thank goodness you're safe!
[19:48] ---
I'm glad too, Michel!
[19:52] ---
Sorry to worry you.
[19:55] ---
Oh, and you guys, too.
[19:57] ---
Man, that sounded like
an afterthought, huh?
[20:00] ---
So, how go the negotiations with B.B.?
[20:03] ---
She's being as stingy as ever.
[20:05] ---
She doesn't seem to be receptive to us.
[20:08] ---
Which is only natural, when you
consider the people of my territory.
[20:13] ---
Yo! How have you been?
[20:16] ---
It has been too long, wind boy.
[20:19] ---
As it happens, there's something
I need for you to hear, too.
[20:26] ---
You're saying that we humans
came here from another galaxy?
[20:29] ---
Yeah. This galaxy will
perish before long,
[20:33] ---
and be drawn into the Black Cross.
[20:37] ---
You always say the most
fascinating things.
[20:40] ---
Whether you believe it
or not is up to you.
[20:43] ---
There's no way we could believe
a tale like that, is there?
[20:47] ---
In the Cross-Star religion, they preach
that once we reach the Black Cross,
[20:50] ---
mankind will be able to
obtain an everlasting galaxy.
[20:53] ---
Quite correct.
[20:55] ---
That's a load of rubbish.
[20:57] ---
So, what will you do, Cleo?
[21:00] ---
There's not much time.
[21:02] ---
I'm going to unite the whole world,
and say goodbye to this galaxy.
[21:08] ---
Needless to say, I'm not going
to plunge into the Black Cross.
[21:11] ---
We're all going to escape
from this galaxy.
[21:14] ---
For that, I don't mind abandoning my
goal of restoring the royal family.
[21:19] ---
If this is true... Cleo...
[21:24] ---
You sure have raised
your reputation, boy.
[21:29] ---
Now then, what to do?
[21:32] ---
Simple. Ride my wind.
[21:37] ---
Sure enough, you are...
[21:39] ---
"Like a Royal Road"
[21:40] ---
...our savior.
[21:56] ---
In these streets which have lost their color,
[22:02] ---
under my breath, I look at the screen.
[22:09] ---
Searching for the key to the future,
[22:15] ---
I've torn my pocket.
[22:22] ---
Have I any doubts?
[22:28] ---
Will the light shine?
[22:35] ---
What is right?
[22:40] ---
As I struggle, I move into the distance.
[22:47] ---
I am the only one,
[22:49] ---
my drifting heart is as hard as a cocoon,
[22:56] ---
and it protects me,
[23:00] ---
but I am not the only one,
[23:02] ---
and the words that issue forth
[23:05] ---
want to catch
[23:08] ---
going round and round.
[23:14] ---
The shadow of an assassin that
steals in without a sound...
[23:17] ---
What is it that whispers into
the ear of a savior to sway his heart?
[23:22] ---
Next time on Glass Fleet,
"Like a House of Cards..."
[23:25] ---
The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.
[23:25] ---
"Like a House of Cards..."
