[00:17] ---
Somebody once said that
when people die, they become stars.
[00:23] ---
If that is true, does it mean that
the twinkling of so many shining stars...
[00:27] ---
...is the twinkling of the lives of those
who lived to their fullest,
[00:31] ---
and then passed away?
[00:35] ---
Swallowing up lives one by one,
we continue to fight.
[00:40] ---
People meet, people part.
[00:43] ---
They have pasts,
and presents, and futures.
[00:48] ---
There are moments in their lives
that shine brighter and stronger
[00:52] ---
than the twinkling of stars.
[00:54] ---
That is certain.
[01:07] ---
I may have a habit of running away
whenever anything bad occurs,
[01:14] ---
but no matter what happens,
I'm not going to run away now.
[01:21] ---
I may have a habit of bursting into tears,
even though I understand it in my mind,
[01:28] ---
but since I am aiming higher,
I'm not going to cry now.
[01:35] ---
I'm tired of hearing that
things will turn out all right.
[01:37] ---
Don't bury your head in your hands.
[01:39] ---
Instead give your positive gauge a clip!
[01:40] ---
In time it will all feel
just like it should!
[01:43] ---
Deeply, deeply, it's becoming
etched in my mind
[01:49] ---
that someday, this will all be real.
[01:57] ---
Both the unchanging mornings
and the never-ending nights.
[02:03] ---
I'm off and running for tomorrow's sake.
[02:45] ---
There's an enemy fleet out there.
[02:47] ---
I can see that for myself.
[02:50] ---
Charge them.
[02:51] ---
Okay! Hang on to something,
or you'll fall down!
[02:55] ---
Michel-sama's belongings!
[02:57] ---
Mm-hmm. Michel-sama, if you'll
excuse us for a moment...
[03:05] ---
Did you need something?
[03:07] ---
All righty, off we go!
[03:20] ---
Excellency sir,
[03:22] ---
the Holy Emperor's vessel has completed
a safe withdrawal from the area of battle.
[03:28] ---
Enemy ship approaching.
[03:29] ---
It is evading all of our fleet's attacks!
It has unbelievable maneuverability!
[03:34] ---
Fire. Shoot it down. Blow them up!
[03:38] ---
Unthrift is exquisite.
Stinginess is a sin.
[03:41] ---
Unspent rounds are an embarrassment.
[03:43] ---
Forgive me for saying so, Excellency sir,
[03:46] ---
but according to Ralph-sama's intelligence,
the leader of the People's Army,
[03:51] ---
Michel Volban, is hiding
aboard that enemy ship.
[03:53] ---
His Highness the Holy Emperor's orders
were to capture Volban.
[03:57] ---
I do not believe we should be
shooting the enemy ship down.
[04:01] ---
You are quite a capable little girl.
[04:04] ---
Well then, ourselves and our consort ships
will surround the enemy vessel
[04:07] ---
while continuing to fire,
[04:08] ---
then board their ship
and take Volban into custody.
[04:11] ---
Once the boarding party returns,
we will shoot down the enemy ship.
[04:14] ---
How does that sound?
[04:15] ---
See to it.
[04:17] ---
Yes, sir.
[04:18] ---
Enemy ship within range of main batteries.
[04:21] ---
All ships, open fire!
[04:31] ---
I can't stand it!
[04:33] ---
The soleil is fine form! Sometimes you
have to get a little crazy like this!
[04:38] ---
Cut through them.
[04:39] ---
Yeah!
[04:41] ---
You're not withdrawing?!
[04:42] ---
You must be joking.
They interrupted my fight.
[05:05] ---
What fools those guys are!
[05:08] ---
A fleet of ten ships...
without firing a single shot...
[05:11] ---
1st, 5th, and 8th ships are inoperable.
[05:14] ---
All systems on the flagship are down.
[05:16] ---
Our attacks are unable to
home in on the enemy ship!
[05:20] ---
All right, all right, do not balk.
It is our own fault for being hit.
[05:25] ---
Forgive me for saying so,
[05:28] ---
but we do not have a ship in our fleet
[05:29] ---
with the maneuverability
of the enemy battleship.
[05:32] ---
In that case, we can always
power-up the soleil.
[05:36] ---
Forgive me for saying so,
but our ship is already inoperable.
[05:46] ---
The 2nd ship is inoperable.
[05:47] ---
It's too dangerous to remain
any longer! We must escape!
[05:50] ---
Enemy ship is directly above us.
[05:55] ---
Let's do it, shall we?
[05:56] ---
Don't sell the royal
family's secret technologies short!
[06:15] ---
The glass battleship is too daunting!
[06:18] ---
We cannot go on. We are withdrawing.
[06:31] ---
Take that!
[06:38] ---
That felt great, huh?
[06:40] ---
Yes, well done!
[06:44] ---
That hits the spot!
[06:46] ---
My glasses... my glasses...
[06:52] ---
Are you all right?
[06:53] ---
Yeah.
[07:01] ---
He's in a bad mood, huh?
[07:21] ---
Oh, Excellency,
thank goodness you are safe!
[07:24] ---
Are you all right? We have
a doctor standing by.
[07:28] ---
He can examine you right away.
[07:30] ---
No need.
[07:31] ---
But Excellency,
[07:32] ---
I'm afraid that having the Holy Emperor
going to such a trash heap of a planet,
[07:37] ---
and then engaging in a duel there
has us concerned about your health-
[07:41] ---
You talk too much!
[07:43] ---
Yes, sir.
[07:44] ---
Ralph, you are not fulfilling
your role as imperial guard.
[07:48] ---
This is what happens when you run off to
some dustbin of a planet without our leave.
[08:08] ---
We just received a report
from Count John Fall.
[08:12] ---
Do not talk about work!
Vetti-sama needs his rest!
[08:17] ---
What did the Count say?
[08:19] ---
He was unable to carry out
Your Excellency's orders,
[08:22] ---
and was forced to retreat.
[08:24] ---
The shock was so great that he apparently
took to his bed. Hmph, truly pathetic.
[08:29] ---
He carries a heavy burden,
[08:31] ---
particularly so as long
as Michel is with him.
[08:34] ---
"He"?
[08:36] ---
A scoundrel, by the name of Cleo.
[08:38] ---
The one with the glass battleship
that drove back Maconnais.
[08:43] ---
I am going to disperse that wind someday.
[08:46] ---
Forget about that guy, already.
[08:50] ---
There is one other thing.
[08:51] ---
We received a reply from Pope Gorna.
[08:56] ---
Unfortunately,
[08:58] ---
although Pope Gorna has
gladly given his approval,
[09:02] ---
I regret to inform you that
Rachel-sama said she declines.
[09:05] ---
Indeed, it is the height of disrespect!
[09:08] ---
The princess just doesn't
know the kind of man I am.
[09:18] ---
Keep moving forward
the talks with Pope Gorna.
[09:21] ---
But what about Rachel-sama?
[09:25] ---
This princess is sure to fall for me.
[09:28] ---
Say, let's go to the bedroom.
[09:30] ---
Tonight, Vetti-sama, on a bed
of your favorite scarlet roses,
[09:34] ---
I will wash away the impurity
of that planet for you.
[09:37] ---
Let's sleep, and forget about everything.
[09:40] ---
I'd like to hear your opinions
on what the oracle on Orleans said.
[09:45] ---
--Yes, sir.
[09:45] ---
--Yes, sir.
[09:49] ---
Vetti-sama, you can sleep alone tonight!
[09:53] ---
Ralph...
[09:54] ---
Yes, Vetti-sama?
[09:57] ---
Find out what you can about Cleo.
[10:12] ---
I'm sorry, Michel-sama.
[10:13] ---
We were unable to preserve
your precious teacups.
[10:17] ---
Don't worry about it, Sylua.
[10:21] ---
It smells good today, huh?
[10:23] ---
Yes, I tried adding a little
vervain to the chamomile.
[10:29] ---
Things have been so hectic.
[10:31] ---
Ever since we've come here,
Jean has seemed to be quite indignant.
[10:35] ---
Yes. He doesn't like Cleo-san, after all.
[10:38] ---
I've said nothing of the sort.
[10:40] ---
It's okay, I know. It's just that
after seeing how he fought earlier,
[10:45] ---
I would hate to have to part with
the fighting spirit that this bunch has.
[10:49] ---
Do you think so? There's no way
that a gang like Cleo-san's...
[10:53] ---
...could understand the
significance of the People's Army.
[10:56] ---
They make me want to hurry
back to Cavell territory
[10:58] ---
and disinfect myself
right down to my bones.
[11:01] ---
If I might be so bold,
I do not feel at ease either.
[11:04] ---
When I think of the bad influence that man
might bring upon you, Michel-sama...
[11:10] ---
Cut it out!
[11:14] ---
Oh, so this is where you are?
[11:16] ---
Yeah, we've helped ourselves.
[11:19] ---
Say, what's that you're drinking?
[11:25] ---
What is this?! Do you aristocrats drink
this nasty stuff to be pretentious?
[11:30] ---
My, how rude!
[11:32] ---
Well, I guess it's okay.
I just kissed Michel indirectly!
[11:37] ---
I'm going to have to disinfect again.
[11:40] ---
You sure seem to say
whatever you feel like.
[11:43] ---
Are you aristocrats trying to say
that we're like garbage and germs?
[11:48] ---
You don't like the nobility?
[11:51] ---
There's an interesting story
about the nobility.
[11:54] ---
Do you know about the Robron Egg?
[11:56] ---
Yeah, it was the most highly classified
code of the Allied Nobility, right?
[12:00] ---
Yes, it was said to be a code that
was absolutely impossible to break,
[12:05] ---
and yet I heard that it
was broken by someone.
[12:08] ---
As such, the Allied Nobility's
intelligence was exposed,
[12:10] ---
which was one of the factors behind
the Holy Emperor's force's victory.
[12:14] ---
That boy is the one who deciphered it.
[12:19] ---
As a result, he's on the wanted list.
[12:22] ---
What about you, Eimer?
[12:24] ---
What about me?
[12:26] ---
You're the one who's Queen of the Slums.
[12:29] ---
Queen?
[12:31] ---
There are all kinds of women. Right?
[12:34] ---
There are not!
[12:35] ---
Badat and Heizak are
unusual folks, themselves.
[12:39] ---
There's a story, and I don't
know if it's true or not,
[12:42] ---
that Heizak raided the Cross-Star religion
with homemade weapons.
[12:47] ---
Badat says that he was once the legendary
hero Admiral Gawain's flagship captain.
[12:52] ---
Oh, Admiral Gawain, huh?
[12:55] ---
Badat is just boasting.
[12:57] ---
Still, Cleo is something else.
[12:59] ---
I'm impressed that he put together
such an idiosyncratic crew.
[13:03] ---
He didn't put us together.
We all just follow him on our own.
[13:08] ---
On your own? A dangerous man
such as that?
[13:11] ---
What is so attractive about that man?
[13:14] ---
How happy-go-lucky!
[13:16] ---
In other words, the crew of this ship
are all wanted men, are they not?
[13:22] ---
We are wanted men, ourselves.
[13:27] ---
Eimer, what do you know about Cleo?
[13:32] ---
You want to know?
[13:34] ---
Oh, no...
[13:35] ---
Liar. We don't know about him, either.
He doesn't talk about himself.
[13:43] ---
We get on on our own,
and we get off on our own.
[13:45] ---
Even if one of us were to get off,
it wouldn't concern Cleo.
[14:15] ---
Who is it?
[14:16] ---
It's Michel. I'd like to speak with you.
[14:20] ---
Cleo?
[14:22] ---
Come in.
[14:31] ---
Does it hurt?
[14:34] ---
You should get off.
[14:36] ---
What?
[14:38] ---
Go on back to the People's Army
on your own.
[14:40] ---
You promised to take me with you.
[14:45] ---
I don't remember making that promise.
[14:48] ---
You're planning on going after Vetti, huh?
[14:51] ---
He's waiting for me, too.
I can't go on like this one bit.
[14:55] ---
You're just like a little child.
[14:57] ---
That's what it is to be a man.
Are you any different?
[15:05] ---
I'm the one he's after. If I
make a move, he'll make one, too.
[15:10] ---
He will present an opportunity
for you to settle things between you,
[15:13] ---
without you having to move
around vainly. How does that sound?
[15:16] ---
I should warn you, you won't be
anything to me except for a lure.
[15:21] ---
Don't you speak out against
anything I do on the battlefield.
[15:24] ---
I don't care what you might do.
[15:26] ---
There's only one thing for you
to do on the battlefield.
[15:29] ---
This is your ship. You're the one
who determines which way the wind blows.
[15:42] ---
Deal.
[15:50] ---
Sorry to intrude. Get better soon.
[15:57] ---
That settles which course to set.
[16:00] ---
We've already started heading
that way, while you were asleep.
[16:41] ---
Did I wake you?
[16:43] ---
No. I couldn't sleep without you
by my side, Vetti-sama.
[16:48] ---
Come here.
[16:49] ---
Okay.
[16:51] ---
I'm composing a poem.
[16:53] ---
For that masked woman?
[16:55] ---
You're feeling jealous over nothing.
[16:59] ---
I'm sorry. I won't be jealous anymore.
[17:03] ---
Even if I do take a bride, my heart
will still be together with you.
[17:08] ---
Right.
[17:09] ---
This marriage will secure a firm
power for the Holy Emperor.
[17:15] ---
Nothing more, nothing less.
There will be no love in it.
[17:21] ---
Say, what kind of poem is it?
[17:24] ---
Good question.
[17:27] ---
"My beloved, with face unknown
to me, I had a dream about you."
[17:31] ---
"In my dream, your face is still
unknown to me, yet I know who you are."
[17:37] ---
"Your silken voice, your willowy fingers,
your limpid skin take hold of me,"
[17:44] ---
"and won't let me go."
[17:45] ---
"Ah, your eyes beckon to me
from behind that mask."
[17:49] ---
"Someday, may we wander
together through this dream."
[17:59] ---
Liar.
[18:01] ---
There is nothing more
simple and meaningless
[18:03] ---
than spinning together words of love.
[18:24] ---
Deliver this for me.
Address it to the Cross-Star religion.
[18:33] ---
We will be arriving at
John Fall Territory momentarily.
[18:51] ---
Excellency sir...
[18:54] ---
Commander Kaz,
[18:56] ---
under His Excellency Vetti's command,
along with his doll platoon,
[18:59] ---
are here to pay their respects
upon arriving at their post here.
[19:02] ---
We are positively delighted to have
been appointed to Your Excellency,
[19:05] ---
Count John Fall.
[19:07] ---
Having been ordered by His Excellency,
Holy Emperor Vetti,
[19:10] ---
to serve the Count to the fullest,
[19:13] ---
I, Kaz, and my doll platoon
have arrived with all due haste.
[19:17] ---
You must have had a long and
difficult journey, Commander Kaz.
[19:22] ---
Your dolls are as curious
as I have been told.
[19:24] ---
Thank you.
[19:26] ---
However, Your Excellency's daughters
are indeed beautiful, as well.
[19:30] ---
Yes, I'm proud of my girls. As diligently
well-mannered as flowers and butterflies,
[19:35] ---
they daily seek out the beauty that
ordinary soldiers do not possess.
[19:41] ---
However, Kaz-dono,
[19:42] ---
I would ask you not to make any
unwanted advances towards my daughters.
[19:47] ---
You need not be concerned. My doll
platoon is both human, and not human.
[19:52] ---
They are literally living dolls,
who act only as they are ordered to.
[19:55] ---
You may be assured that we will
be successful in capturing Michel.
[19:59] ---
So, what is your strategy?
[20:02] ---
I will be dressing up my dolls.
[20:11] ---
Hey...
[20:14] ---
Don't forget my reward when
we reach Cavell Territory.
[20:17] ---
Yeah, I know.
[20:20] ---
I'm getting a distress signal.
[20:22] ---
What ship is it coming from?
[20:23] ---
It's not an imperial vessel.
It's a freighter.
[20:27] ---
A freighter, huh?
[20:29] ---
What do we do, Cleo?
[20:31] ---
What choice do we have? We help them.
[20:34] ---
You guys?
[20:36] ---
Excuse me?
[20:38] ---
Oh, nothing...
[21:09] ---
This is a mess.
[21:12] ---
You there!
[21:14] ---
Thank you! You've come
to rescue us, right?
[21:17] ---
Survivors!
[21:20] ---
We were caught in the middle of a battle,
and got hit by stray fire.
[21:24] ---
We still have many
more that are wounded.
[21:26] ---
Could we have them treated
aboard your ship?
[21:29] ---
What are you transporting?
[21:31] ---
I have expenses. You'll have to
share some of your goods with me.
[21:36] ---
Oh, yeah, you got it.
[21:47] ---
Are you all right?
[21:50] ---
Thanks.
[21:54] ---
Brother!
[21:54] ---
"Like a Mask"
[22:03] ---
It's twilight already in the
glass city of mistaken notions
[22:09] ---
where we exchanged farewells
among the countless lights.
[22:14] ---
After making that pinky promise,
the finger that lied to you
[22:20] ---
developed a hangnail,
and still hurts a little even now.
[22:25] ---
We called each other's names,
we spoke each other's names,
[22:28] ---
and the world where you and I
once met keeps spinning around.
[22:34] ---
After these tears fall,
will they be forgotten?
[22:40] ---
After the sadness melts away,
will I be able to see?
[22:46] ---
Quivering and shimmering
in this glistening world,
[22:51] ---
they grow cold and dry up
as I grasp them in my hands.
[22:57] ---
Even if this world were made of nothing
[23:03] ---
but lies and nonsense,
I probably wouldn't care.
[23:08] ---
Somewhere on this world,
I am here singing,
[23:14] ---
so please, may you be
here on this world, smiling.
[23:30] ---
In shining corners of the galaxy,
[23:32] ---
as encounters and farewells
take place again and again,
[23:34] ---
people will continue to play the monster.
[23:37] ---
Next time on Glass Fleet, "Like a Clown"
[23:41] ---
The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.
