[00:19] Mangetsu
    Huh? Wha...
[00:21] Mangetsu
    What?!
[00:23] Mangetsu
    What, what?! What's going on?!
[00:25] Mangetsu
    What is this? Wat eez dees?
[00:30] Shingetsu
    You're awake?
[00:33] Mangetsu
    Who are you?
[00:40] Mangetsu
    Shingetsu-chan?
[00:42] Shingetsu
    Do you want to take a bath?
[00:52] Mangetsu
    It's morning already...
SIGN    GRANBELM
SIGN    The Two Princeps
[02:25] Cop
    At the moment, there doesn't seem
    to be any criminal activity at play,
[02:28] Cop
    but if anything happens, contact us here.
[02:30] Mom
    All right...
[02:31] Dad
    Thank you.
[02:34] Kibou
    Onee-chan...
[02:36] Mangetsu
    This is bad! This is so, so bad!
SIGN    Mom Mom Mom Kohinata Kibou Mom Mom Kohinata Kibou Kohinata Kibou Mom
[02:44] Mangetsu
    I guess that's no surprise...
[02:46] Shingetsu
    What's so bad?
[02:48] Shingetsu
    We came back here last night,
[02:50] Shingetsu
    but you were so deeply asleep...
[02:53] Mangetsu
    You should've woken me up!
    No matter how deeply asleep I was!
[02:56] Mangetsu
    Then again, it was the middle of
    the night, so it'd still be bad...
[03:00] Shingetsu
    Your sister is crying.
[03:02] Shingetsu
    Shouldn't you hurry over there?
[03:05] Mangetsu
    I know! If I do, everyone will be so happy!
[03:08] Mangetsu
    They'll all cry and hug me!
[03:10] Mangetsu
    But the problem is what comes after that...
[03:13] Shingetsu
    It is?
[03:16] Shingetsu
    What?
[03:17] Mangetsu
    I have... a favor to ask!
[03:22] Mom
    So this girl was sick, and you fell
     asleep while looking after her?
[03:27] Mangetsu
    Yep!
[03:28] Mom
    And your phone?
[03:28] Mangetsu
    I had it in silent mode!
[03:30] Mangetsu
    I didn't want to wake her up, you know?
[03:37] Kibou
    Still, you could've called just once...
[03:40] Mom
    Well, it's all right. You're back now.
[03:42] Kibou
    I guess that's true.
[03:44] Kibou
    I think I'll take a nap.
[03:46] Mangetsu
    I can't believe I got away
    with an excuse like that!
[03:49] Mangetsu
    Even I felt like that was pushing it...
[03:52] Shingetsu
    I manipulated the magnetic field.
[03:54] Shingetsu
    To calm them down, I turned the yin to yang.
[03:59] Mangetsu
    Is that like... magic?
[04:02] Shingetsu
    It's nothing fancy.
[04:04] Shingetsu
    But all descendants of mages
    have the simple ability
[04:08] Shingestu
    to manipulate magnetic fields,
    even with no magical power.
[04:13] Mangetsu
    Like this?
[04:15] Mangetsu
    That's kinda cool!
[04:18] Shingetsu
    You really don't know anything about mages?
[04:21] Shingetsu
    Your grandparents never
    mentioned these things to you?
[04:26] Mangetsu
    Nope, never.
[04:27] Shingetsu
    And last night was your first time
    appearing in that space, wasn't it?
[04:38] Mangetsu
    What... What?
[04:41] Shingetsu
    Don't worry.
[04:43] Shingetsu
    I'm only replaying your memories as a video.
[04:49] Shingetsu
    It's true... I don't sense any
    relationships to mages.
[04:53] Mangetsu
    You see?
[04:56] Shingetsu
    But...
[05:00] Shingetsu
    Well, normally, the only ones
    who can enter that space
[05:03] Shingetsu
    are those who wish to fight in GRANBELM
    and undergo the ritual to do so.
[05:08] Shingetsu
    I've never heard of
     anyone joining mid-battle.
[05:11] Mangetsu
    None of that means anything to me!
[05:13] Mangetsu
    There must be some mistake, right?
[05:16] Shingetsu
    Do you have your magic stone?
[05:17] Mangetsu
    Huh? Oh...
[05:21] Mangetsu
    This?
[05:26] Shingetsu
    It seems very pure.
[05:28] Shingetsu
    Where did you get it?
[05:31] Mangetsu
    I'm not really sure...
[05:35] Mangetsu
    It's true! I really don't know!
[05:42] Shingetsu
    Well, anyway, you have no
    desire to fight, correct?
[05:44] Mangetsu
    Well... no...
[05:46] Shingetsu
    And no desire to obtain that magical
    power and become the Princeps mage?
[05:50] Mangetsu
    Not really.
[05:52] Shingetsu
    Understood.
[05:54] Mangetsu
    What're you doing now?
[05:55] Shingetsu
    I'm going to erase all memories you
    have of GRANBELM and the mages.
[05:58] Mangetsu
    Oh...
[06:00] Mangetsu
    Wait, what?!
[06:02] Mangetsu
    W-W-Wait!
[06:04] Shingetsu
    Wh-What is it?
[06:05] Mangetsu
    Why would you erase them?!
[06:07] Shingetsu
    Well, you don't need them, do you?
[06:09] Mangetsu
    No, no! That's not the issue here!
[06:11] Shingetsu
    The ritual to enter GRANBELM is known
    only to those born into mage bloodlines.
[06:16] Shingetsu
    It's nothing you should
    involve yourself with!
[06:18] Mangetsu
    Bu... Wai—
[06:34] Mangetsu
    I see it.
[06:52] Shingetsu
    The technique didn't work...
[06:57] Mangetsu
    What?
[06:58] Shingetsu
    Just who are you?
[06:59] Mangetsu
    I told you... I'm just what I look
    like, an ordinary high school girl.
[07:06] Mangetsu
    Oh, come on!
[07:07] Mangetsu
    I told you I wouldn't mention this to anyone!
[07:10] Mangetsu
    Just teach me already!
[07:15] Shingetsu
    What will you do with the knowledge?
[07:16] Mangetsu
    I dunno, but I have a right to hear it, don't I?
[07:27] Mangetsu
    So, does that mean you're the
    descendant of a mage, too?
[07:31] Shingetsu
    Yes.
[07:32] Shingetsu
    To those of us descended from mages,
[07:34] Shingetsu
    being a mage is our identity.
[07:37] Shingetsu
    Now that magical power has
    vanished from the world,
[07:39] Shingetsu
    there's no way for anyone to become a mage
[07:44] Shingetsu
    except to become the one
     and only Princeps mage.
[07:48] Shingetsu
    And so, once every several decades,
[07:51] Shingetsu
    when the moon's power is at its fullest,
[07:53] Shingetsu
    descendants of mages from
    around the world gather
[07:56] Shingetsu
    and perform the ritual to
    call forth Magiaconatus,
[07:59] Shingetsu
    which signals the start of GRANBELM.
[08:03] Shingetsu
    Our dream is to become that lost mage.
[08:09] Shingetsu
    You look as if you're having
    trouble believing this.
[08:11] Mangetsu
    That's because I am having
    trouble believing it.
[08:15] Shingetsu
    Well, it doesn't matter.
[08:17] Shingetsu
    Either way, it doesn't
    concern you any longer.
[08:21] Mangetsu
    Huh? But the battle won't end
    until only one remains, right?
[08:25] Shingetsu
    You can simply refrain from participating.
[08:28] Shingetsu
    The battle is held on
    the night of the full moon.
[08:31] Shingetsu
    If you miss the ritual and
    refuse to enter that space,
[08:34] Shingetsu
    you lose your right to fight.
[08:37] Mangetsu
    I see...
[08:40] Mangetsu
    What?
[08:41] Shingetsu
    Your magic stone.
[08:44] Mangetsu
    What're you gonna do?
[08:46] Shingetsu
    Dispose of it.
[08:49] Shingetsu
    What's the matter?
[08:51] Mangetsu
    If you do that, I'll never be able to enter
    that Magia-whatever thing again, right?
[08:56] Shingetsu
    And?
[08:57] Mangetsu
    That robot... WHITE LILY, was it?
[09:00] Mangetsu
    What'll happen to it?
[09:02] Shingetsu
    It will disappear, of course.
[09:04] Shingetsu
    An ARMANOX is a magical doll created
[09:07] Shingetsu
    when the magical power filling
    Magiaconatus responds to the user's will.
[09:12] Shingetsu
    The same is true of my VIOLA
    KATZE and Anna's ACONITE GRIS.
[09:17] Shingetsu
    It's basically your body double.
[09:20] Mangetsu
    I see...
[09:36] Mangetsu
    I ended up bringing it home.
[09:42] (Flashback) Mangetsu
    W-Well, there's still a month
    until the next full moon, right?
[09:46] (Flashback) Mangetsu
    I'd like to give it a little more thought...
[09:49] (Flashback) Shingetsu
    And what will you do after that?
[09:51] (Flashback) Mangetsu
    Well, I mean...
[09:55] Mangetsu
    What do I want to do?
[10:11] Suishou
    Gate, close!
[10:19] Rosa
    Wait! I can still keep going! I'm still—
[10:22] Anna
    Rosa.
[10:24] Anna
    You understand, don't you?
[10:26] Anna
    Now that your magical power has been
    taken from you, you are worthless.
[10:36] Suishou
    Oh, my...
[10:37] Suishou
    It's a piece of junk! Bids start at zero yen!
[10:39] Rosa
    Shut up!
[10:41] Anna
    What do you expect to do with this?
[10:49] Anna
    Just get out of my sight,
[10:51] Anna
    loser of GRANBELM.
[10:53] Suishou
    Bye-bye!
[11:06] Anna
    Bring me a rose tea.
    As cold as you can make it.
[11:09] Suishou
    You got it!
[11:15] Anna
    Ernesta...
[11:28] (Flashback) Anna
    Die!
[11:31] (Flashback) Shingetsu
    You cannot defeat me.
[11:38] Anna
    Hot...
[11:41] Anna
    It's so hot...
[11:47] Kibou
    Onee-chan really tries hard.
[11:53] Kibou
    Morning!
[11:54] Nene
    What do you want?
[11:55] Kibou
    Just wondering if you didn't
    get enough sleep again.
[11:58] Nene
    Shut up! Unlike brats like you,
     I have things to do at ni—
[12:02] Nene
    That hurt...
[12:04] Kibou
    Are you okay?
[12:05] Nene
    Did I not just say it hurts?!
[12:09] Kibou
    You never change, Nene-chan.
[12:12] Nene
    I swear, Nana and Mimi are both the same!
[12:14] Nene
    Can't tell if they're laid-back or just slow!
[12:17] Kibou
    Nana and Mimi? The little sisters from
    Hong Kong that you mentioned before?
[12:21] Nene
    Yes!
[12:22] Kibou
    Are they coming here?
[12:23] Nene
    They're still in Hong Kong.
[12:25] Kibou
    Then maybe I'll come sleep
    over at your place sometime.
[12:28] Nene
    Why?!
[12:29] Kibou
    I can't?
[12:33] Nene
    I mean... I guess I don't care.
[12:47] Kibou
    Is that fashion?
[12:48] Nene
    Just stupidity.
SIGN    Japanese OK
[12:56] Nana
    Oh, it's Onee-chan!
[12:58] Mimi
    Really?
[12:59] Nana
    Hello?
[13:00] Nene
    I told you to start the process
    for getting me out of middle school!
[13:04] Mimi
    We can't help it. It's mandatory in Japan.
[13:08] Nene
    And I've told you that I'm an adult!
[13:11] Mimi
    Don't be so selfish, Nene-nee.
[13:14] Nana
    Just look in the mirror.
[13:15] Nana
    You don't look like anything
    but a middle school girl.
[13:18] Nene
    And I asked you two to
    explain that to the school!
[13:22] Mimi
    We're hanging up.
[13:24] Nana
    Should you have done that?
    Nene-nee will be mad.
[13:27] Mimi
    It's fine. If she wants
    to argue, I won't lose.
[13:32] Mangetsu
    Here.
[13:33] Girl
    Thanks!
[13:34] Girl
    I'll bring the box back when I'm done, okay?
[13:36] Mangetsu
    Okay.
[13:40] Mangetsu
    A technique, huh?
[13:48] Mangetsu
    Of course...
[13:51] Girl
    What's that?
[13:55] Teacher
    Okay, take your seats.
[13:58] Teacher
    Before we start today, I'm
    introducing a transfer student.
[14:08] Shingetsu
    My name is Shingetsu Ernesta Fukami.
[14:11] Shingetsu
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[14:17] Shingetsu
    Why didn't you tell me those
    were for grade school children?
[14:21] Shingetsu
    Didn't I tell you that I lived in Germany
[14:23] Shingetsu
    and only came to Japan when I was younger?!
[14:26] Mangetsu
    Well, I never expected you
    to transfer into my school.
[14:30] Shingetsu
    I did it because you won't make up your mind!
[14:33] Mangetsu
    Me?
[14:34] Mangetsu
    Wait, you did this because of me?
[14:37] Shingetsu
    I have no guarantee that
    you won't tell anyone,
[14:39] Shingetsu
    and I'm sure you're
     confused after all of it...
[14:43] Shingetsu
    And...
[14:44] Mangetsu
    And?
[14:47] Shingetsu
    Nothing.
[14:53] Mangetsu
    Want some?
[14:54] Shingetsu
    N-No, I'm really not...
[14:57] Mangetsu
    It's okay. I made a bunch.
[15:00] Shingetsu
    In that case, okay...
[15:02] Mangetsu
    Sure!
[15:04] Shingetsu
    Have you made up your mind?
[15:06] Mangetsu
    About what?
[15:07] Shingetsu
    GRANBELM.
[15:09] Mangetsu
    Oh... well...
[15:10] Girl
    Mangetsu-chan!
[15:11] Mangetsu
    What's up?
[15:13] Girl
    Do you have an extra lunch?
[15:16] Girl
    There's one more girl saying she wants one.
[15:21] Girl
    Oh, if you don't, it's okay!
[15:23] Girl
    Sorry about that.
[15:25] Mangetsu
    Wait!
[15:25] Mangetsu
    I haven't started eating this one yet.
[15:29] Girl
    Huh? But...
[15:31] Mangetsu
    It's fine. I'm on a diet, anyway.
[15:34] Mangetsu
    This must be a message from
    above to lose more weight.
[15:36] Mangetsu
    Here.
[15:37] Girl
    Thanks!
[15:40] Teacher
    Decide among yourselves
    how to divide up the work.
[15:42] Teacher
    You'll present your results next week.
[15:44] Mangetsu
    You can do the presentation, Kaori-chan.
[15:46] Kaori
    Okay.
[15:47] Girl
    I'll buy the stuff we
    need for the experiment.
[15:51] Kaori
    Who's going to collect the
    bug poop from the mountain?
[15:54] Girl
    We've gotta do that, too?
[15:57] Mangetsu
    Okay, I'll do that part.
[16:00] Kaori
    Are you sure?
[16:01] Mangetsu
    Yeah! The mountain's not far from my house.
[16:04] Kaori
    Really? Great, thanks!
SIGN    Fujita Kitamura Tozaki Decided
[16:11] Mangetsu
    There, all done.
[16:15] Shingetsu
    You're not even on duty today.
[16:17] Shingetsu
    The other kids aren't bullying you, are they?
[16:20] Mangetsu
    Huh? Not at all. Everyone's really nice.
[16:23] Mangetsu
    I just said I'd do it.
[16:26] Shingetsu
    Why?
[16:29] Mangetsu
    Because there's nothing
    else I can do, really.
[16:34] Mangetsu
    I'm not good at studying or sports,
[16:38] Mangetsu
    so nothing good happens
    when I try to butt in.
[16:41] Mangetsu
    I just hold everyone back in jumping
    rope and class relays and stuff.
[16:47] Shingetsu
    And that's why you volunteer to do this?
[16:50] Mangetsu
    Yeah.
[16:53] Mangetsu
    But... I kinda want someone
    to notice, you know?
[16:58] Mangetsu
    That I'm here, I mean.
[17:04] Mangetsu
    When you told me I might
    be the descendant of a mage
[17:09] Mangetsu
    and was recognized as a participant
    in GRANBELM, I was really surprised.
[17:14] Mangetsu
    I couldn't even imagine it. For me of all
    people, it just didn't seem possible.
[17:20] Mangetsu
    I mean, I'm... me.
[17:23] Shingetsu
    Why do you feel that way?
[17:25] Mangetsu
    Because... I don't have anything.
[17:29] Mangetsu
    So if I have the power to
    control that weird robot
[17:34] Mangetsu
    or to become this one and only
    Princeps mage you told me about...
[17:42] Mangetsu
    I kind of want to go for it!
[17:49] Shingetsu
    I thought you might say that.
[17:52] Shingetsu
    You weren't willing to give me your
    magic stone, so I suspected as much.
[18:08] Mangetsu
    Amazing...
[18:09] Shingetsu
    Do you think so?
[18:11] Shingetsu
    It's a simple technique that made
    these flowers bloom so beautifully.
[18:15] Shingetsu
    But in my doing so, the flowers lost the
    ability to bloom when they were meant to.
[18:21] Shingetsu
    I disturbed their fate.
[18:24] Shingetsu
    And magical power can't
    even be compared to this.
[18:27] Shingetsu
    Its strength diverts things from
    the paths they were meant to follow,
[18:31] Shingetsu
    makes what should be impossible possible,
[18:34] Shingetsu
    and makes things that shouldn't
    exist come into being.
[18:38] Shingetsu
    Gaining that kind of power is not
    a wonderful thing, by any means.
[18:45] Mangetsu
    Still, it's better than having nothing.
[18:48] Shingetsu
    There aren't any humans who have nothing.
[18:51] Mangetsu
    That's not true.
[18:53] Shingetsu
    There isn't. That's just what
    you've made yourself believe.
[18:56] Shingetsu
    Every human—
[18:57] Mangetsu
    I have nothing!
[19:00] Mangetsu
    I seriously have nothing.
[19:04] Mangetsu
    It's not that everyone around me is mean.
[19:08] Mangetsu
    I'm not trying to isolate myself, either.
[19:11] Mangetsu
    But no matter where I go,
[19:14] Mangetsu
    it wouldn't really matter
    whether I was there or not.
[19:19] Mangetsu
    Everyone's nice,
[19:21] Mangetsu
    but even if I wasn't around,
    I'm sure they'd all be just fine.
[19:25] Mangetsu
    I sort of feel like I'm invisible.
[19:29] Mangetsu
    That's why...
[19:34] Shingetsu
    That's why you'll fight.
[19:38] Shingetsu
    That's why you say you'll
    try to become a mage?
[19:41] Shingetsu
    When you know nothing?
[19:44] Mangetsu
    I don't know...
[19:46] Mangetsu
    But I have the right, don't I?
[19:49] Shingetsu
    The ones who participate in
    GRANBELM are descendants of mages.
[19:53] Shingetsu
    Each one wishes so strongly to become a mage
    that they would give their lives for it.
[19:57] Shingetsu
    I don't believe you could win.
[20:14] Shingetsu
    One with such a pure heart
    should not strive to be a mage.
[20:34] Mangetsu
    But still!
[20:38] Mangetsu
    But still, I...
[20:44] Shingetsu
    It's pointless.
[20:45] Mangetsu
    That's fine!
[20:46] Mangetsu
    I'm doing something only I can do,
[20:49] Mangetsu
    something no one else can do!
[20:52] Mangetsu
    That's amazing to me!
[20:55] Mangetsu
    I wouldn't trade it for anything!
[20:57] Shingetsu
    Mangetsu...
[20:59] Mangetsu
    So if I give up on that from
    the start... if I let it go...
[21:03] Mangetsu
    I know I'll regret it.
[21:05] Mangetsu
    I'll keep thinking about it
    until the day I die!
[21:10] Shingetsu
    But...
[21:18] Shingetsu
    This is...
[21:52] Mangetsu
    Can't I...
[21:58] Mangetsu
    Can't I do it?
