[00:10] ---
The Gran Chaos Empire lies at
the western end of the continent.
[00:14] ---
"Gran Chaos Empire"
Across the entire continent, it occupies
the greatest amount of territory--
[00:17] ---
"Gran Chaos Empire"
the great empire's population,
military might,
[00:19] ---
technology, and affluence of its people
[00:22] ---
were unmatched by any other
country on the continent.
[00:26] ---
Then, roughly ten years ago, an incident
came about which altered the situation.
[00:31] ---
"Demon Lord's Domain"
It was the formation of
the Demon Lord's Domain.
[00:34] ---
"Demon Lord's Domain"
Faced with a surge of monsters
who appeared without warning,
[00:37] ---
"Demon Lord's Domain"
the cries for solidarity
among mankind rang out.
[00:41] ---
Thus, it was the Gran Chaos Empire that
was bidden to take the lead of mankind.
[00:49] ---
The one currently standing at the top
of the empire is Maria Euphoria.
[00:55] ---
The Mankind Declaration,
which Maria put forward,
[00:58] ---
was more than just a coalition
to battle the Demon Lord's forces.
[01:02] ---
It was a sublime pact to put a stop
to warring and ethnic discrimination.
[01:08] ---
Further,
[01:09] ---
owing to her beautiful appearance
and kindheartedness
[01:12] ---
toward all races,
both rich and poor alike,
[01:16] ---
at some point, the people started
referring to her as...
[01:19] ---
...the "Saint of the Empire."
[01:26] ---
"Gran Chaos Empire,
Imperial Capital, Valois"
[01:27] ---
"Gran Chaos Empire,
Imperial Capital, Valois"
Come in.
[01:29] ---
"Gran Chaos Empire,
Imperial Capital, Valois"
Please excuse me, sister.
[01:35] ---
I, Jeanne Euphoria, am now heading up
a detachment of the army
[01:39] ---
and departing for Van,
in the Principality of Amidonia.
[01:42] ---
Ah, yes. You're going to meet
with the hero king in question.
[01:46] ---
Yes. I am reluctant to be taken
advantage of by Amidonia like this,
[01:51] ---
but I suppose I must negotiate
for the return of the occupied Van.
[01:56] ---
I realize that the Principality
of Amidonia is the one at fault,
[01:59] ---
but allowing any trespass
of the Mankind Declaration
[02:02] ---
would affect the prestige of the empire.
[02:05] ---
It is an agonizing decision.
[02:07] ---
I am sorry for placing
this difficulty upon you.
[02:10] ---
What are you talking about?
[02:12] ---
Sister, you are the one who
is most heartbroken by all this.
[02:16] ---
I promise you that Julius Amidonia will
receive his just reward for this someday.
[02:21] ---
I hear that this new King Souma of
the Elfrieden Kingdom is a brilliant man.
[02:26] ---
I believe that if you talk things
through with him, he will be reasonable.
[02:30] ---
Do you think so? I, on the other hand,
believe we will be like oil and water.
[02:35] ---
Oil and water, you say?
[02:37] ---
Yes. Sister, you are an idealist,
while the king is a realist.
[02:42] ---
I believe the two of you are facing
completely opposite directions.
[03:00] ---
"Never mind, face forward,"
[03:05] ---
my heart just cried until it was hoarse
[03:11] ---
When you lose something,
is that the end of it?
[03:16] ---
Is there no putting things back
the way they were?
[03:22] ---
Just as a line of clouds
moves off somewhere
[03:28] ---
when you take your eyes
off of them for a moment,
[03:33] ---
so does everything else
[03:38] ---
I never thought there was a version of me
[03:45] ---
that the world would have a need for
[03:50] ---
But when I believed in what I believe,
[03:56] ---
I found myself as I truly am
[04:02] ---
Hello, yes, the first step
I take after nodding
[04:07] ---
Hello, yes, is toward
the yet-unseen horizon
[04:19] ---
"To Fight and Conquer in All Our Battles
Is Not Supreme Excellence"
[04:20] ---
"To Fight and Conquer in All Our Battles
Is Not Supreme Excellence"
Why don't you get a room
of your own already?
[04:23] ---
I'm up to my neck in work
from sunup to sundown.
[04:25] ---
Even if I had my own room,
I'd only go there to sleep.
[04:28] ---
For heaven's sake, taking over Van
has just increased my workload, too.
[04:34] ---
It pains me not to have
a proper bureaucracy.
[04:36] ---
Quit your complaining.
[04:38] ---
Here's the next document.
[04:40] ---
Wait, another request to use the plaza?
[04:43] ---
There's a lot more requests coming,
too. There's open-air concerts, right?
[04:48] ---
Plus plays, circuses,
and seed-spitting contests.
[04:52] ---
Have I opened up Pandora's Box here?
[04:55] ---
I'm not sure what that is,
but ever since your broadcast,
[04:57] ---
the people of Van seem to have had
an awakening of self-expression.
[05:01] ---
That should tell you
how sensational it was.
[05:03] ---
The harder someone is oppressed,
the greater they bounce back, I guess.
[05:07] ---
This truly is a renaissance!
[05:09] ---
Huh?
[05:11] ---
Nothing, never mind.
[05:20] ---
They really are getting
down and dirty, huh?
[05:22] ---
Everything my old man took from the people
was suddenly given back to them.
[05:27] ---
I'll bet my brother's hopes of being
reinstated are dashed now.
[05:30] ---
Excuse me, Princess, but what exactly
did Prince Gaius take from them?
[05:35] ---
Why, their freedom, of course, Colbert.
[05:39] ---
Freedom costs nothing. Souma's no
worse off for giving it to them for free.
[05:44] ---
But then, if anyone tries to take it
away again, there'll be a backlash.
[05:47] ---
Even if my brother uses the influence
of the empire to stage a comeback,
[05:50] ---
do you think he'll be able to do anything
while they have their freedom?
[05:53] ---
Are you saying that Souma had that in mind
when he made that broadcast?
[05:57] ---
Not to mention his lowering taxes
and increasing distribution of goods.
[06:01] ---
Have you ever seen any fabric as
spectacular as this in Amidonia before?
[06:07] ---
Colbert, we have to hurry
and get ready, ourselves.
[06:11] ---
It seems that Souma is
moving faster than we imagined.
[06:15] ---
After provoking us like that, I'm not
letting you quit while you're ahead.
[06:19] ---
You're going to answer for what
you've done, so you just get ready.
[06:25] ---
We have to get ready, huh?
[06:26] ---
Yes, sire.
[06:27] ---
A force of 50,000 from the empire
has already started their march.
[06:31] ---
How long before they reach Van?
[06:34] ---
The main force will take a while longer,
[06:36] ---
but the advance party should
be arriving at any time now.
[06:40] ---
All right. If there is any new activity,
report it to me at once.
[06:44] ---
As you wish.
[06:48] ---
E-Excuse me, Your Majesty,
but do you have a moment?
[06:51] ---
Is something the matter?
[06:53] ---
Y-Your Majesty, there is something
here that you should see.
[06:58] ---
You wanted to show him a flower?
[07:00] ---
Y-Yes! This flower is known
as a "beguiling lily," yes.
[07:05] ---
Ah, so I can see that it's a lily.
But what's the "beguiling" part?
[07:10] ---
As it happens, this flower's pollen
has a powerful hallucinatory effect,
[07:14] ---
so if you inhale it,
you become like a sleepwalker.
[07:17] ---
Yikes.
[07:19] ---
Hey, would you mind not bringing
that thing in here, then?
[07:22] ---
I-It's all right! The pollen has
been thoroughly removed, yes.
[07:26] ---
Besides, the pollen
is just something extra.
[07:29] ---
What I wanted Your Majesty to see
[07:31] ---
is its rhizome.
[07:33] ---
The lily's bulb? Oh, lily root!
[07:36] ---
Why the sudden interest?
[07:37] ---
Lily root is a high-value food product!
[07:40] ---
But I guess that doesn't
explain it, does it?
[07:43] ---
Are they edible?
[07:44] ---
Yes. The root has no
hallucinatory effects, yes.
[07:48] ---
So, how's the flavor?
[07:49] ---
They are fluffy and delicious
when steamed.
[07:52] ---
And these beguiling lilies
grow in huge clusters
[07:55] ---
in the mountainous areas of
the Principality of Amidonia.
[07:58] ---
That's terrific.
[08:00] ---
As I recall, lily root is rich
in carbohydrates.
[08:02] ---
They can be the main dish,
just like a potato.
[08:05] ---
This could be the breakthrough that
solves the principality's food shortage.
[08:08] ---
Oh, but you can't get near them
because of the pollen, right?
[08:12] ---
Yes, sire. Also, you have to harvest
them when they're pollinating,
[08:16] ---
or their toxicity will
spread into the bulb.
[08:19] ---
Well, I guess that's that.
[08:21] ---
Edible or not, if they can't be harvested,
then there's no point.
[08:24] ---
Wait a second, how did you
get this one here?
[08:28] ---
There are people who live in the
mountains of the Gran Chaos Empire
[08:31] ---
that harvest beguiling lilies
and eat them as a staple, yes.
[08:36] ---
So there is a way to harvest them?
[08:38] ---
You use an orangutan.
[08:40] ---
An orangutan? You mean the kind
of monkey that likes getting tipsy?
[08:43] ---
Apparently, orangutans routinely eat
the rhizomes of beguiling lilies, yes.
[08:49] ---
The people who live in the empire's
mountains have tamed them,
[08:52] ---
and have them do the harvesting.
[08:54] ---
I get it now. They use animals for
harvesting. That's using their heads.
[08:58] ---
Do they have these orangutans in Amidonia?
[09:01] ---
Yes. I already asked Tomoe to negotiate
with the orangutans there.
[09:06] ---
If we give them saké barrels regularly,
instead of wages,
[09:09] ---
I believe that they will
gladly work for us, yes.
[09:13] ---
All right, Poncho. Start increasing
production right away.
[09:16] ---
Y-Yes, sire!
[09:20] ---
Lily stew rations are being
served over here, yes!
[09:28] ---
Th-There are lily root
dumplings over there
[09:32] ---
that you can take home with you,
as well. Please take some with you,
[09:35] ---
and try to make them at home, yes.
[09:40] ---
There is plenty to go around,
so remain calm.
[09:43] ---
Please form a line over here.
[09:49] ---
It's a nice day, isn't it, Big Brother?
[09:51] ---
That it is, Tomoe.
[09:53] ---
Wow, there sure are a lot of shops, huh?
[09:57] ---
If you see one that you're interested in,
we can go look inside.
[10:00] ---
Right!
[10:04] ---
Is that all right with you, Juna?
[10:06] ---
Sure.
[10:11] ---
Um, what are you...?
[10:12] ---
Oh, do you object?
[10:14] ---
No, it's not that I object.
[10:17] ---
I thought you said you were going
to keep me safe covertly, though.
[10:21] ---
I am keeping you safe. Right now,
there are several elite marines
[10:25] ---
who are guarding us from the shadows.
[10:31] ---
Your Majesty, do you dislike me
holding on to your arm?
[10:34] ---
No, of course I don't dislike it.
Knock yourself out.
[10:39] ---
Thank you very much.
[10:40] ---
Well now, where should we go? There isn't
really anywhere I want to go see.
[10:47] ---
What if you got some nice clothes
for Tomoe as a present?
[10:51] ---
She is your younger sister now, so you
could call it a gift from a family member.
[11:00] ---
What sort of article are you looking for?
[11:02] ---
Well, let's see. Do you have anything
that would look nice on my sister?
[11:07] ---
Huh? B-Big Brother...
[11:09] ---
If you see anything you like, just say so.
[11:12] ---
Um... but...
[11:15] ---
I'd like you to let me do something
brotherly once in a while.
[11:19] ---
Let's have a look around.
[11:21] ---
Right.
[11:22] ---
What do you think of this?
[11:24] ---
Wow, it's lovely.
[11:26] ---
Here, look at this one.
[11:27] ---
Wow, it's so cute!
[11:36] ---
Sir...
[11:37] ---
There is something I would
like to ask you, if I may?
[11:41] ---
What is it?
[11:43] ---
Suppose that on the battlefield,
[11:44] ---
all of your generals were gathered
together for a war council,
[11:48] ---
and that the first plan
put forward was a good one.
[11:51] ---
Would you implement this plan immediately?
[11:56] ---
No, I wouldn't. I would wonder
if there wasn't an even better plan.
[12:01] ---
But suppose that you
were one of the generals,
[12:04] ---
and you wanted your plan to be adopted.
[12:06] ---
It would be better for you to withhold it,
and then only carefully propose it
[12:09] ---
after the debate has reached a standstill.
[12:12] ---
Hmm...
[12:14] ---
What I am trying to say is that
bargaining between men and women
[12:18] ---
is another kind of battle.
[12:27] ---
I may think that these
would look good on Tomoe,
[12:30] ---
but perhaps I should wait a bit longer.
[12:34] ---
You are a magnificent strategist.
[12:37] ---
I am honored by your praise.
[12:39] ---
You used a war council
in your example just now.
[12:42] ---
Is there some greater
significance as to why?
[12:44] ---
I beg your pardon.
[12:46] ---
I had been dealing with some
rather distinguished people
[12:48] ---
up until a few days ago.
[12:50] ---
Were these distinguished people
military men, then?
[12:53] ---
Oh, no. One was a very charming,
albeit cunning little devil.
[12:59] ---
Princess Roroa, a lady should
not sneeze in that fashion.
[13:03] ---
Oh, who cares? Once means
someone is talking about you--
[13:06] ---
twice means someone has fallen for you.
[13:08] ---
I wonder when that second one is coming.
[13:11] ---
Uh-huh...
[13:13] ---
Kazuya...
[13:17] ---
What do you think?
[13:18] ---
Oh...!
[13:24] ---
Tomoe, want me to carry that?
[13:26] ---
That's okay. These are what
you bought for me, after all.
[13:29] ---
Then would you like
to carry these, as well?
[13:39] ---
Th-Thank you very much, Big Brother.
[13:46] ---
I will treasure these.
[13:49] ---
Oh, and Juna, please accept this.
[13:55] ---
Huh? Um, is that...?
[13:57] ---
Juna, you're always doing so much
to help me, so this is to thank you.
[14:01] ---
Oh, my. I am not worthy
to receive something like this.
[14:08] ---
It looks very nice on you, Juna.
[14:12] ---
Your Majesty, if you are
going to offer us presents,
[14:16] ---
then you should give something to
the princess and company, as well.
[14:19] ---
It's all right. I have something
prepared for Liscia and Aisha, too.
[14:24] ---
By the way, Juna...
[14:26] ---
Yes, what is it?
[14:27] ---
It's not "Your Majesty,"
it's "Kazuya," remember?
[14:31] ---
Kazuya, you're more spiteful
than I expected.
[14:34] ---
Am I?
[14:37] ---
Yes. And you also have
a knack for flirting.
[14:43] ---
Big Brother, there are so many
little shops opening up.
[14:47] ---
All of these stalls in so short a time...
[14:50] ---
This is the center of entertainment,
after all.
[14:52] ---
Sir, how about something for your wife?
We have steamed lily dumplings.
[14:58] ---
Big Brother, I am hungry.
[15:00] ---
All right, how about we
buy something at this stall?
[15:02] ---
Yes!
[15:05] ---
Oh, it's delicious, Big Brother!
[15:09] ---
These lily root croquettes
are pretty good, too.
[15:11] ---
They're also delicious when fried.
[15:14] ---
Though I might burn myself
on the soft-boiled center.
[15:25] ---
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
This is Chris.
[15:27] ---
--I wish days as peaceful
as this could go on forever.
[15:29] ---
--Here is today's weather forecast...
--I wish days as peaceful
as this could go on forever.
[15:31] ---
Elfrieden and Van will be sunny today,
[15:34] ---
--perfect for washing clothes.
[15:36] ---
--I never expected to see a Gemstone
Broadcast being used like this.
--perfect for washing clothes.
[15:46] ---
"Principality of Amidonia, Capital, Van
Since military affairs have taken precedent
over everything, arts andentertainment
have not been developed."
[15:49] ---
"Jeanne Euphoria
A talented military leader, she is bold
enough to slip into the enemy camp
to personally size them up."
[15:59] ---
The imperial forces are this deep
into hostile territory?
[16:06] ---
It's a system I'd like to introduce
into my own nation.
[16:09] ---
I'll look into it once I return.
[16:13] ---
I bear you no ill will,
Juna the songstress.
[16:17] ---
Who are you?
[16:19] ---
I am Jeanne, sister of Maria Euphoria,
Empress of the Gran Chaos Empire.
[16:25] ---
It's quite audacious of you to come
strolling into Van while I'm occupying it.
[16:30] ---
I just wanted to see whom I would be
dealing with for myself.
[16:34] ---
You can't really make that
determination based on rumors alone.
[16:38] ---
Rumors?
[16:39] ---
Rumors such as being a wise ruler,
[16:41] ---
who turned the finances of a kingdom
on the edge of bankruptcy around.
[16:45] ---
Who devised ways of preparing foods
that nobody was accustomed to eating,
[16:48] ---
thus rescuing them from a food shortage.
[16:51] ---
I have also heard stories that
you are egregiously lecherous.
[16:55] ---
Just a minute!
What are you talking about?!
[16:57] ---
That despite being engaged to
the former king's beautiful daughter,
[17:01] ---
you are gathering the kingdom's beauties
[17:02] ---
and selecting your consorts, or some such.
[17:05] ---
C-Consorts, you say?
[17:07] ---
I was aware that such stories
were making the rounds, but...
[17:11] ---
Seriously?
[17:12] ---
If the rumors are false,
I guess it rules doing that out.
[17:16] ---
Doing what out?
[17:17] ---
I figured that if you
were a lascivious king,
[17:19] ---
then if I had my beautiful sister
welcome you in and plead with you,
[17:22] ---
it would be very easy to get you
to accept our demands.
[17:25] ---
You were going to have
the Saint of the Empire do what now?!
[17:28] ---
My sister does not personally
seem to like the title of "Saint."
[17:34] ---
But perhaps it does a little
something for the gentlemen.
[17:37] ---
W-Well, I wouldn't say I deny that.
[17:41] ---
What, the title? Does "Songstress"
do anything for you?
[17:44] ---
Juna, why are you starting in, too?
[17:47] ---
Oh, I couldn't help myself.
[17:50] ---
You are a more amusing fellow
than I had imagined.
[17:53] ---
Well, it's not as though we're
trying to be entertaining.
[17:56] ---
Not at all. A king being
so close with his officers
[17:59] ---
is evidence that the kingdom is stable.
[18:01] ---
In that regard, in the empire,
my sister is called a saint,
[18:05] ---
and everyone remains distant. Moreover,
she is so invested in being the empress
[18:09] ---
that she treats everyone equally,
and as a result,
[18:11] ---
it leaves her in a position where she
is always guarded toward everyone.
[18:15] ---
That goes for this matter, as well.
[18:17] ---
We have nothing to gain by assisting
the Principality of Amidonia,
[18:21] ---
once they ignored
the Mankind Declaration, and yet...
[18:24] ---
Hmm? For being the sister of Maria,
who embraces ideals,
[18:29] ---
you have quite a realistic way
of thinking, don't you?
[18:32] ---
When the older sister is a dreamer, the
younger sister has to be more grounded.
[18:37] ---
Anyhow, the way you're using your
Gemstone Broadcast is amazing.
[18:40] ---
--The kingdom's forces

--Would it be all right if I
copied it in my country?
--The kingdom's forces

from doing so anyhow.

put forward such progressive ideas?

I wish to apologize for that.

[19:08] ---
Huh?
[19:09] ---
For the hero summoning, I mean.
I beg your forgiveness.
[19:13] ---
No, please lift up your head.
What's done is done.
[19:16] ---
Yes, but...
[19:17] ---
The empire has no reason to
want a hero. Isn't that right?
[19:22] ---
This was the empire's way of
showing consideration, right?
[19:25] ---
Toward a kingdom that couldn't come up
with financial aid for the war effort?
[19:29] ---
Yes.
[19:30] ---
I knew it.
[19:32] ---
I was a human sacrifice.
[19:35] ---
The Elfrieden Kingdom is far removed
from the Demon Lord's Domain.
[19:38] ---
What's more, it never signed on
to the Mankind Declaration.
[19:41] ---
In the member nations' view, we were
being protected by the declaration,
[19:45] ---
even though we weren't
providing any funding.
[19:48] ---
You had them perform the hero summoning
[19:50] ---
to create the appearance that they
were providing support, right?
[19:55] ---
Just a moment. Since we aren't even
signatories to the Mankind Declaration,
[19:59] ---
we never had any obligation to provide
support in the first place, did we?
[20:02] ---
We were beneficiaries of the bulwark
provided by the Mankind Declaration.
[20:07] ---
So for us to not fulfill our duty
[20:09] ---
would invite backlash
from the signatory nations.
[20:12] ---
Oh, my...
[20:13] ---
In order to placate the signatory nations,
[20:15] ---
you also requested war subsidies
from the non-signatory nations,
[20:19] ---
or else some other, equivalent sacrifice.
[20:23] ---
I don't know what I can tell you.
[20:25] ---
In all honesty, you didn't think the hero
summoning would work, did you?
[20:31] ---
The empire figured that the fact that
the summoning was carried out at all
[20:35] ---
would be enough to persuade
the signatory nations.
[20:38] ---
You are correct. However, you ended up
being summoned as a result.
[20:44] ---
And after being called here and having
the throne yielded to you by Albert,
[20:49] ---
you made every effort to turn
the country around,
[20:51] ---
and even contributed your funding.
[20:54] ---
Like I said before, what's done is done.
[20:57] ---
After learning what the circumstances
were, I bear you no blame. Besides...
[21:05] ---
...I've found a family here
that I want to keep safe.
[21:08] ---
Still, if it bothers you enough that
you'll accept my jurisdiction over Van,
[21:12] ---
that would be nice, too.
[21:14] ---
Unfortunately, I have a family
that I must protect, as well.
[21:18] ---
I see. In that case,
we'll just have to "negotiate."
[21:22] ---
Yes. And when we do,
I hope you'll go easy on me.
[21:32] ---
These negotiations sound like
they're going to be difficult.
[21:39] ---
Look at this!
[21:40] ---
Big Brother bought it for me!
[21:42] ---
Isn't that nice?
[21:44] ---
Aisha, if you like, this is for you.
[21:47] ---
Ah, Your Majesty! I am positively
delighted to get a gift from you!
[21:52] ---
Oh...!
[21:54] ---
Good for you, Aisha.
[21:56] ---
Yes, Juna! I will try to be
more feminine with this lipstick.
[22:00] ---
And I will try my hardest to ensure that I
can always remain at His Majesty's side!
[22:04] ---
Liscia, of course,
I have something for you, as well.
[22:10] ---
Thank you!
[22:17] ---
Well? How do I look?
[22:20] ---
Big Sister, you look great!
[22:22] ---
--Yes.
--Very nice, Princess.
[22:23] ---
Empire or not, come whomever may,
I am going to keep moving forward.
[22:29] ---
To protect Liscia and the others--
those whom I consider my family.
[22:38] ---
Seeking the courage to keep on choosing
[22:42] ---
the outcome of an ever-meandering morrow,
[22:47] ---
I never want to fear change
[22:51] ---
or doubt the blueness of the sky
[22:55] ---
More than any dreams I once had
[22:57] ---
and beyond any future I've imagined,
[23:00] ---
I want to keep on drifting along
[23:04] ---
within this transcendentally beautiful
moment I'm spending with you
[23:08] ---
If I can make that come true...
[23:12] ---
I shoot up through the blue
to the sky where we connect
[23:16] ---
Grasp my destiny and reel it in
[23:20] ---
And through our joined hands,
[23:25] ---
you feel my helpless wish for eternity
[23:29] ---
Even if this is only an illusion
[23:31] ---
taking place within someone's dream,
[23:34] ---
I'll still take this blowing wind
[23:35] ---
and hold on tight as I take flight
