[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? [22:06] Anna     Hold it! [22:12] Anna     Think about it. [22:16] Anna     That girl... Ernesta... [22:22] Anna     is a demon!
