[00:01] ---
    When I gaze at the blueness of the skies,
    it makes me long to return to unknown lands.
[00:09] ---
    My soul, drawn in by the blueness of the skies,
    is being tossed and scattered into the distance.
[00:16] ---
    The end—the end of the sky.
[00:19] ---
    At last I've reached it.
[00:21] ---
    My dear child, I await you on Estalucia,
    Island of the Astrals.
[02:52] ---
    Everyone, long time no see!
[02:56] ---
    I've heard the rumors about you!
[02:59] ---
    Despite being led by such a young captain,
[03:02] ---
    you've subdued multiple primal beasts
    and taken on the Erste Empire, no less...
[03:07] ---
    You've really made a huge splash!
[03:10] ---
    We're not that big a deal—
[03:12] ---
    Oh, that was nothing!
[03:13] ---
    We're heading for
    the Island of the Astrals, after all!
[03:18] ---
    So? You didn't come here
    just to flatter us, did you?
[03:22] ---
    Katalina, pass the salt, will you?
[03:24] ---
    Sorry, Sierokarte, but the thing is...
[03:27] ---
    Thanks.
[03:28] ---
    I'm afraid we don't have the funds
    to make it worth your while to do business with us.
[03:31] ---
    No problem, I'm not here to make a sale today.
    I have a job for you!
[03:34] ---
    Lyria! This is so delicious!
[03:37] ---
    A job? What kind?
[03:40] ---
    If you could kindly direct your attention
    to this request form for the details...
[03:43] ---
    Hold up.
[03:45] ---
    First, let's talk money.
[03:48] ---
    Once our captain hears of someone's plight,
[03:51] ---
    he has a way of taking on the job
    without a second thought.
[03:55] ---
    Sorry.
[03:56] ---
    Well, he wouldn't be Gran otherwise.
[03:59] ---
    When you're the captain of a skyfaring crew,
    that just won't fly anymore.
[04:04] ---
    I mean, the skies are teeming with scoundrels.
[04:08] ---
    Here we go again!
[04:10] ---
    Why do old men love lecturing so much?
[04:12] ---
    Who're you callin' an old man?
[04:14] ---
    It's pretty obvious that I'm talking about you!
[04:18] ---
    Io, Rackam, let's calm down...
[04:21] ---
    Expenses aren't included.
    After subtracting commission...
[04:28] ---
    Is that all?
[04:31] ---
    The clients are residents
    of a tiny island, you see,
[04:35] ---
    and this request doesn't seem
    to be particularly dangerous.
[04:39] ---
    This is just my own gut feeling, but...
[04:42] ---
    It just might involve
    some kind of primal beast.
[04:48] ---
    Of course, my gut isn't infallible.
[04:52] ---
    So if you could think of this
    as a genteel service...
[04:55] ---
    The Knickknack Shack would be happy
    to pay for your dinner tonight!
[05:02] ---
    - A thousand apples! No, four!
    - Every bottle of whisky on the shelf there!
[05:02] ---
    - The special grilled beef sampler plate!
    - A fruit tart and a berry danish!
[05:05] ---
    - Along with garlic pilaf and cheese fries!
    - And whatever snacks you've got!
[05:05] ---
    Hey... Come on.
    Haven't any of you heard of restraint?
[05:08] ---
    Plus an orange parfait and lemonade!
[05:08] ---
    Katalina?
[05:11] ---
    Do you think I can have another one of these?
[05:13] ---
    S-Sure...
[05:15] ---
    Make sure you don't leave any leftovers!
[05:29] ---
    Really, it's so good of you to come!
[05:32] ---
    I was certain that no skyfaring crew
    would ever come to an island out here.
[05:36] ---
    I'd all but given up hope.
[05:39] ---
    What's it been, two months already?
[05:42] ---
    We started hearing an odd sound
    coming from somewhere.
[05:46] ---
    Odd sound?
[05:47] ---
    Night and day...
[05:49] ---
    Just when you think it's stopped,
    it starts up again.
[05:52] ---
    Such an ominous sound...
[05:55] ---
    It's creepy.
[05:57] ---
    It's got the cattle spooked, too.
    They're producing hardly any milk now.
[06:04] ---
    It's not like anyone's getting hurt or sick,
    but it's just creepy.
[06:09] ---
    You know, not knowing where
    it's coming from and all.
[06:13] ---
    Which reminds me... A Draph girl
    came to the island on a liner two days ago.
[06:19] ---
    A Draph girl?
[06:37] ---
    Is this the sound they were talking about?
[06:41] ---
    Lyria.
[06:52] ---
    I think so.
[06:54] ---
    There's a primal beast on this island.
[06:58] ---
    So was that the primal beast's voice just now?
[07:01] ---
    I'm not sure. It feels very far away...
[07:05] ---
    Like something is blocking its presence.
[07:08] ---
    Then Sierokarte's gut was on the money.
[07:12] ---
    This doesn't seem like an emergency,
[07:14] ---
    but if there's a primal beast involved,
    I don't think we can just leave it like this.
[07:18] ---
    Right.
[07:19] ---
    We'll need to exercise more caution...
[07:21] ---
    Come on, just give it up!
[07:24] ---
    It's only a toy sword!
[07:26] ---
    It's not a toy!
[07:28] ---
    I'm gonna use that sword to practice
    and become a real skyfarer one day!
[07:34] ---
    Go slow. Watch your back, Gran.
[07:40] ---
    I know.
[07:43] ---
    Th-Thank you.
[07:45] ---
    I never dreamed real skyfarers
    would come to the rescue.
[07:48] ---
    Don't worry about it. Gran's that kind of guy.
[07:53] ---
    That's Gran for you!
[08:00] ---
    Good grief, what a hassle.
[08:05] ---
    It's pretty deep. I wonder how far it goes...
[08:31] ---
    Are you all right, Gran?
[08:34] ---
    We're fine!
[08:36] ---
    Jeez, that gave me a heart attack!
[08:47] ---
    Ahh, I feel so much better!
[08:49] ---
    The villagers wanted you to have this.
[08:52] ---
    Thanks! I was absolutely starving!
[08:57] ---
    It's not as serious as I thought.
[08:59] ---
    You knew to do a breakfall, didn't you?
[09:03] ---
    Going to retrieve a kid's toy,
    and coming back with an injured person...
[09:07] ---
    Really, that's our Gran for us!
[09:11] ---
    So why were you lying around
    in a place like that, lady?
[09:13] ---
    Call me Aliza.
[09:15] ---
    I'm on a journey as part of
    my martial arts training.
[09:18] ---
    I came to this island just because
    something seemed to point me this way.
[09:22] ---
    Good work, guys...
[09:24] ---
    Gran found her.
[09:26] ---
    Huh?
[09:28] ---
    About that sound...
[09:29] ---
    Looks like there's no doubt about it.
    The wind is carrying it from underground.
[09:34] ---
    So there is something underground?
[09:37] ---
    We can't just start digging up the whole place.
[09:40] ---
    It'd be easier if we could narrow it down...
[09:46] ---
    Actually...
[09:48] ---
    I might know something about that.
[09:51] ---
    Since everyone on this island's
    been creeped out by the weird sound,
[09:56] ---
    I've been poking around,
    thinking it could be a monster or something.
[10:06] ---
    And when I tracked the sound...
[10:21] ---
    I tried to run away before it saw me,
[10:24] ---
    but I tripped and ended up
    sliding down that cliff.
[10:40] ---
    A primal beast...
[10:59] ---
    Found it! There it is!
[11:01] ---
    So they dug themselves in
    underneath an obscure island, huh?
[11:05] ---
    Man, the lengths they'll go to...
[11:08] ---
    Lyria!
[11:09] ---
    Are you all right?
[11:12] ---
    Is that the cause?
[11:15] ---
    Dark essence...
[11:17] ---
    No...
[11:18] ---
    I think that dark essence
    only works on the primal beast.
[11:24] ---
    But because of it,
[11:27] ---
    the primal beast's cries are so...
[11:29] ---
    Painful.
[11:32] ---
    Lyria, are you...
[11:36] ---
    We've been waiting for you!
[11:41] ---
    You fugitives.
[11:43] ---
    Pommern!
[11:44] ---
    You know him?
[11:45] ---
    That man's a captain of the Erste Empire,
    as well as our enemy.
[11:50] ---
    I've been keeping an eye on you
    since your arrival to this island, you know.
[11:56] ---
    Here we were,
    checking the results of our research,
[11:59] ---
    when who should show up
    but you fugitives from justice!
[12:02] ---
    Perhaps I'm being rewarded
    for my daily good deeds.
[12:05] ---
    You're one to talk, always sneaking around
    and up to no good!
[12:09] ---
    What the heck
    are you plotting this time, huh?
[12:11] ---
    Stop, there's no need to panic.
[12:14] ---
    The primal beast Tezcatlipoca
    will gladly take you on.
[12:24] ---
    Stop it! Please, stop it!
[12:27] ---
    Since we've finished collecting the data
    on this primal beast,
[12:32] ---
    all that's left to do is let it run berserk.
[12:38] ---
    The Empire's top secret,
[12:40] ---
    the deserter who spirited her away,
    Lieutenant Katalina,
[12:44] ---
    and the captain of the fugitive skyfaring crew
    that continues to protect them...
[12:49] ---
    Today marks the end for you all!
[13:12] ---
    You need to run, too!
[13:14] ---
    Are you kidding?
    I'm past the point of no return!
[13:29] ---
    It's moving!
[13:35] ---
    Evade!
[13:41] ---
    All that's left for you lot
    is to vanish along with this island.
[13:45] ---
    Oh, but we'll be sure to retrieve
    the top secret girl later on.
[14:03] ---
    Aliza!
[14:10] ---
    It's way too fast.
[14:15] ---
    Dark essence.
[14:17] ---
    At the base of its neck.
[14:20] ---
    It'll stop rampaging if we can destroy that.
[14:23] ---
    If we can somehow get it to stand still...
[14:30] ---
    It attacked us,
    even though it couldn't see us!
[14:38] ---
    Gran!
[14:57] ---
    Wait a second...
[14:58] ---
    Heat?
[14:59] ---
    Fangs of the Dragon! Talons of the Phoenix!
[15:08] ---
    It stopped!
[15:10] ---
    Lyria!
[15:11] ---
    Please! I need your help!
[15:49] ---
    Damn!
[16:06] ---
    You're going to be okay.
[16:12] ---
    Thy name is Tezcatlipoca.
[16:51] ---
    Rest well.
[16:55] ---
    All signs of dark essence have vanished.
[16:57] ---
    We can surmise that the primal beast
    has also been subdued.
[17:00] ---
    Send all of the data
    to Agastia's research headquarters.
[17:05] ---
    The prime minister is waiting for it, you know.
[17:17] ---
    You have our utmost gratitude.
    Thanks to you, everyone can now live in peace.
[17:22] ---
    That was great training for me!
[17:23] ---
    Right back at you. Thanks for everything!
[17:26] ---
    When next we meet in the skies...
[17:34] ---
    Let's spar together!
[17:39] ---
    Come back any time you want!
[17:41] ---
    We'll treat you to some of our special cheese!
[17:49] ---
    Anyway...
[17:51] ---
    Gran and his crew were victorious yet again!
[17:57] ---
    As expected of them.
[17:59] ---
    Aren't you going to join
    Gran and the others, Rosetta?
[18:04] ---
    For now...
[18:07] ---
    Let's just say it's up to
    the whispers of the forest.
[18:14] ---
    How long's it gonna take
    to get to the next island?
[18:16] ---
    Well, since the westward currents
    are strong at this time of year...
[18:19] ---
    Two days should be enough.
[18:22] ---
    Take a good look at that red star over there.
[18:24] ---
    It works as a beacon in this season.
[18:27] ---
    Dear Master, how is your lower back
    feeling these days?
[18:31] ---
    Keep in mind how old you are
    and not overdo it.
[18:41] ---
    I have a lot to write about today.
[18:44] ---
    About Aliza, the villagers and the primal beast.
[18:51] ---
    Good on you for not missing a day, Lyria.
[18:53] ---
    I also tried to write one before,
    but it only lasted about a week.
[19:01] ---
    It's because I'm so happy.
[19:05] ---
    To have so many things to write about,
    day after day.
[19:12] ---
    A lot's happened, huh?
[19:13] ---
    Yes, all kinds of things.
[19:18] ---
    Gran, do you remember?
[19:21] ---
    That girl who was with the Black Knight.
[19:27] ---
    Yeah.
[19:28] ---
    I can't stop thinking about her.
[19:31] ---
    Why did she have the same power as me?
[19:37] ---
    Do you think she knows?
    Of what this power is...
[19:42] ---
    And why we both have such a power.
[19:49] ---
    I'm not sure about the girl...
[19:53] ---
    But the fact that I'm on
    this journey right now...
[19:59] ---
    Lyria, it's all thanks to you.
[20:04] ---
    Because you linked your life to mine.
[20:09] ---
    I wanted to follow my father,
    to go to the Island of the Astrals,
[20:12] ---
    to become a skyfarer...
[20:15] ---
    But I couldn't find an opportunity
    to leave the island.
[20:19] ---
    Meeting you set everything in motion.
[20:24] ---
    Gran...
[20:25] ---
    I'm going to the Island of the Astrals.
[20:27] ---
    And there, I'm going to find out
    about my father, about you,
[20:31] ---
    and about this life that links us together.
[20:36] ---
    I'm sure we'll meet that girl again
    if we continue to travel.
[20:41] ---
    Next time, let's definitely talk with her.
[20:44] ---
    I'll do everything I can to make that happen.
[20:50] ---
    Okay.
[20:51] ---
    I want to be friends with that girl.
[21:00] ---
    We hereby offer full amnesty
    to the crew of the Grandcypher
[21:06] ---
    and would like to propose
    a peace negotiation.
[21:08] ---
    The venue shall be at the Albion Citadel.
[21:12] ---
    From, Major General Furias of the Erste Empire.
[21:15] ---
    A peace negotiation?
[21:16] ---
    Does that mean they'll stop chasing after us?
[21:19] ---
    Yeah, a likely story!
[21:22] ---
    Looks like it's do-or-die.
[23:03] ---
    Furias has apparently reached out to
    the Grandcypher crew to negotiate for peace.
[23:07] ---
    Oh? In other words, you know...
[23:10] ---
    I bet Major General Furias
    is gonna cause all kinds of trouble, huh?
[23:14] ---
    So? What do you want us to do?
[23:17] ---
    Nothing.
[23:18] ---
    I'll need them to be capable
    of handling an ordeal of this level.
[23:25] ---
    They'll be useless to me, otherwise.
[23:27] ---
    Let's see which path they choose,
    and what lies ahead...
