[00:07] Roland
Fran!
[00:08] SoldierF
I... I did it!
[00:10] SoldierF
I beat her! I defeated Fearsome Fran!
[00:16] Kaoru
Like hell you did!
[00:30] Soldiers
What is that?
[00:31] Soldiers
A golden... cloud?
SIGN The Goddess Descends to End the War!
[02:10] Kaoru
I am about to perform a
very important ritual!
[02:13] Kaoru
All of you, just keep quiet and stay put!
[02:16] Kaoru
If you want to continue
this war, do it after I'm done!
[02:22] Kaoru
Knight Francette,
[02:23] Kaoru
your continued hard work and valor
in protecting your lord prove that,
[02:27] Kaoru
as a knight, you have lived
a praiseworthy life!
[02:30] Francette
Lady... Kaoru...
[02:34] Kaoru
But I'm sure you feel there's
much left for you to do.
[02:37] Kaoru
So I will give you a gift to take
with you into your next life.
[02:43] Kaoru
What would you like? Unrivaled wisdom?
[02:46] Kaoru
Or an attractive appearance?
[02:48] Francette
S-Strength...
[02:50] Francette
The strength to protect my lord once more...
[02:56] Kaoru
I had a feeling you'd say that.
[02:59] Kaoru
A silly wish like that doesn't
have to wait for your next life.
[03:02] Kaoru
Make it come true in this one.
[03:13] Aligot SoldierA
I-It's a miracle...
[03:15] Aligot SoldierB
The rumors about an angel of
the goddess were true.
[03:19] Francette
Lady Kaoru.
[03:20] Kaoru
A knight needs a sword.
[03:23] Kaoru
I don't think that sword
will be enough for you.
[03:33] Kaoru
Knight Francette, I grant you title of
Einherjar, guardian knight of the goddess,
[03:40] Kaoru
and this holy blade, Exgram.
[03:45] Kaoru
Carve a path to victory with this sword.
[03:49] Kaoru
Now go forth, Einherjar—holy knight Francette!
[03:54] Francette
I shall!
[04:04] Kaoru
This sword is made of a special alloy.
[04:07] Kaoru
The thickness of its forward
edge is monomolecular,
[04:10] Kaoru
and it uses its wielder's bioelectrical
current as a power source
[04:13] Kaoru
to vibrate at very high speeds, making
it what you'd call a "vibro-blade."
[04:17] Kaoru
But that's just the container's shape.
Inside is a potion.
[04:20] Kaoru
No other blade in the world even
comes close to its sharpness.
[04:29] Kaoru
Hm. Pretty apt name for something
I came up with on the fly.
[04:35] Roland
May I also...
[04:37] Kaoru
Oh, for crying out loud... All right.
[04:40] Kaoru
Here. You get the holy blade Exridill.
[04:44] Kaoru
Each guard gets an Exhrotti, made with the
power of a holy blade divided into four.
[04:53] Kaoru
Why do guys always want this sort of thing?
[04:56] Kaoru
They always buy wooden swords
on school field trips, too.
[04:59] Kaoru
Prince Roland.
[05:02] Kaoru
You can't use that sword effectively
if you're still wounded.
[05:06] Roland
I am in your debt.
[05:08] Kaoru
Make sure Fran doesn't get out of control.
[05:10] Roland
No need to even ask! Let's go!
[05:13] Guards
Yeah!
[05:14] Kaoru
Oh, and I'll need you to return
those swords to me later!
[05:22] Imperial General
First that natural disaster, and now this?
[05:25] Imperial General
What is going on here?
[05:29] Messenger
Reporting!
[05:30] Messenger
That explosion and the golden cloud
were the work of the angel girl!
[05:35] Messenger
Also, the angel not only
resurrected Fearsome Fran,
[05:39] Messenger
but she named her a holy knight
and gave her a holy sword!
[05:43] Imperial General
A h-holy sword?!
[05:48] Francette
It's so light!
[05:50] Francette
Like the wings of an angel!
[05:55] Aligot SoldierA
Sh-She's not human!
[05:57] Aligot SoldierC
A demon... She's a demon!
[05:59] Ed
That was a pretty close call, miss.
[06:02] Kaoru
Yeah. I was careless.
[06:04] Kaoru
I had no idea the enemy had
that much information about me.
[06:09] Kaoru
This is war. There's no
solution where nobody dies.
[06:13] Kaoru
But I can end it as quickly as
possible and minimize deaths.
[06:18] Kaoru
So...
[06:30] Imperial General
The wrath of the goddess...
[06:32] Imperial General
So that girl is a follower of the goddess...
no, she's the goddess herself!
[06:39] Imperial General
We're retreating.
[06:45] Roland
I don't think the Empire of Aligot
will ever mess with our kingdom again.
[06:50] Francette
The Holy Land of Rueda will lose
its status as a neutral nation.
[06:54] Roland
Yes.
[06:56] Roland
Our messenger said the priest who was
with the army invading the capital
[06:59] Roland
told us all about their
secret agreement with Aligot.
[07:02] Roland
Apparently, he started talking the moment
they gave him one of Kaoru's potions.
[07:09] Kaoru
Wha...
[07:09] Kaoru
Well, you know, I'd feel bad
letting him be tortured and stuff,
[07:12] Kaoru
so I just made a little potion that'd
make him want to tell the truth.
[07:17] Kaoru
Right, they don't have truth
serums in this world, do they?
[07:20] Roland
That's dirty.
[07:22] Francette
How merciful you are!
[07:23] Francette
I could serve no greater master!
[07:26] Francette
I have been reborn.
[07:28] Francette
"Fearsome Fran" is now the goddess's
guardian knight Einherjar!
[07:33] Roland
Uh, Fran, your master is...
[07:35] Francette
I will take a leave of
absence from your service!
[07:38] Francette
I can serve none but Lady Kaoru now!
[07:43] Roland
I see. I mean, that's fine, I guess.
[07:46] Kaoru
By the way, Prince Roland...
[07:49] Kaoru
Could you give me back the
holy sword I lent you?
[07:52] Kaoru
You're not a guardian knight of
the goddess. You're just royalty.
[07:57] Roland
Can't I keep it a little longer?!
[07:58] Kaoru
No.
[08:01] Kaoru
Thirty days after the Imperial
Army fled in defeat,
[08:03] Kaoru
a peace conference was held
in Grua, the royal capital
SIGN Kingdom of Balmore, Royal Capital Grua, Plaza, 30 Days Later
[08:06] Kaoru
of the victorious Kingdom of Balmore.
[08:09] Kaoru
It was attended by representatives from
the three nations involved in the war:
[08:13] Kaoru
King Serge from the Kingdom of Balmore,
[08:16] Kaoru
the chancellor of the Empire of
Aligot in the emperor's stead...
[08:20] Kaoru
and from the Holy Land of Rueda,
the Pope himself attended.
[08:25] Kaoru
A peace conference would normally
be conducted in private,
[08:28] Kaoru
but this one was held in public.
[08:30] Kaoru
This unusual spectacle drew many spectators
[08:33] Kaoru
not only from the capital, but from
the surrounding lands as well.
[08:36] Serge
This peace conference will now begin.
[08:40] Serge
For the aforementioned reasons,
[08:42] Serge
the Kingdom of Balmore makes the following
demands of the Empire of Aligot.
[08:46] Serge
First, monetary compensation for the damages
our nation suffered in this battle.
[08:52] Serge
Second, ransom for prisoners, plus compensation
for meals and medical treatment...
[08:58] Chancellor
This is outrageous!
[08:59] Chancellor
It was the Kingdom of Balmore that
created the reason for this war!
[09:03] Chancellor
You wrongly confined the
angel within your own country
[09:06] Chancellor
and monopolized all of her potions!
[09:09] Chancellor
Our nation wanted to save the angel—
[09:11] Kaoru
Uh, I'm not an angel or anything.
[09:14] Kaoru
And I wasn't wrongly confined at all.
[09:18] Kaoru
I'm only in this country because
[09:20] Kaoru
I happened to decide to live
here during my travels,
[09:23] Kaoru
and my potions are available
for purchase to everyone.
[09:26] Kaoru
That includes our neighbors
in Brancott, Aseed...
[09:29] Kaoru
Oh, and...
[09:31] Kaoru
I sold some to your Holy Land of Rueda, too.
[09:37] Kaoru
I never regarded the Empire of
Aligot with intentional hostility.
[09:41] Chancellor
B-But our country has not
received any at all...
[09:44] Kaoru
That's an issue of shelf life.
[09:47] Kaoru
Say the Kingdom of Balmore got upset
[09:49] Kaoru
because we couldn't eat raw fish
caught in the Empire of Aligot.
[09:52] Kaoru
Would you want us declaring war over that?
[09:56] Kaoru
Still, I know just saying
that doesn't help you.
[09:59] Kaoru
I'll try to improve them
so they last a bit longer.
[10:03] Kaoru
Besides, your financial situation is only
going to get worse at this rate, right?
[10:07] Chancellor
Well...
[10:08] Kaoru
There is a way to do something about it.
[10:10] Kaoru
Are you interested in
hearing what I have to say?
[10:14] Kaoru
The whole reason the Empire of Aligot
started their war of conquest
[10:18] Kaoru
was that its mountainous land was difficult
to farm, so their only industry was fishing.
[10:24] (Flashback) Kaoru
Come forth, potion shaped like Verny!
[10:29] (Flashback) Kaoru
Expansion of farmland and the
establishment of a key industry...
[10:34] (Flashback) Kaoru
How can both of those be resolved?
[10:37] Kaoru
That's it!
[10:39] Chancellor
A large island to the west of our nation?
[10:42] Kaoru
Yes. It has roughly the same
amount of land as the Empire.
[10:45] Kaoru
It's easier to farm and
has mineral resources.
[10:50] Kaoru
Aligot was not blessed with fertile land.
[10:53] Kaoru
But is that really true?
[10:54] Kaoru
Abundant forest resources
could be used, for example...
[10:57] Kaoru
to make ships like this one, could they not?
[11:02] Kaoru
If you work on your shipbuilding
technology and take to the seas,
[11:05] Kaoru
you could obtain foreign
goods through trading.
[11:08] Kaoru
You could also take the initiative
in developing the untouched western island.
[11:13] Chancellor
Why would you share this with your enemy?
[11:16] Kaoru
Because I don't want you starting
any more disastrous wars.
[11:20] Kaoru
If we forced you to pay
massive reparations on top of all this,
[11:24] Kaoru
your nation would become impoverished,
and your citizens unhappy.
[11:27] Kaoru
That would only lead to yet another war.
[11:31] Kaoru
Which is why, King Serge...
[11:33] Serge
Y-Yes?
[11:34] Kaoru
Collect their reparations in installments.
[11:38] Serge
Huh?
[11:39] Kaoru
Even if it's only until the Empire's
financial situation stabilizes.
[11:43] Kaoru
Getting too greedy would be a bad look.
[11:46] Serge
Y-You're right. I'll do my
best to accommodate them.
[11:51] Chancellor
I am grateful for your
compassion, King of Balmore.
[11:57] Kaoru
Okay, next up is these guys...
[12:02] Pope
We're to pay the same amount in
reparations as the Empire of Aligot?!
[12:05] Pope
Hmph! Don't be ridiculous!
[12:08] Serge
The priest we took hostage testified about
your secret agreement with the Empire.
[12:12] Serge
I have a written oath right
here with his signature.
[12:14] Serge
Your role in this invasion is quite clear.
[12:16] Pope
Such documents are trivial to forge!
[12:19] Pope
How dare you insult our Holy Land
with this baseless slander?!
[12:23] Pope
I demand a retraction and an apology!
[12:29] Kaoru
Really? But it's all true, isn't it?
[12:33] Kaoru
I saw that priest from Rueda marching
with the Aligot army with my own eyes!
[12:37] Pope
Wh-What did you say,
you servant of the devil?!
[12:40] Kaoru
Wait, what? Didn't you say
I was an angel of the goddess?
[12:45] Kaoru
That's why you lent your
aid in this war, isn't it?
[12:49] Kaoru
In hopes of making the
Holy Land more powerful,
[12:51] Kaoru
you wanted to "safeguard" me
in your country against my will,
[12:54] Kaoru
winning a monopoly on the sale
of my potions in the process.
[12:58] Kaoru
Is that not correct, Your Holiness?
[13:02] Pope
Enough!
[13:03] Pope
In that case, I will use the Holy Land's
secret treasure to prove our righteousness
[13:08] Pope
and destroy the devil's servant who
misrepresents herself as an angel!
[13:13] Pope
This is the secret treasure the
goddess Celestine bestowed upon us
[13:16] Pope
when she blessed the
Holy Land with her miracle!
[13:19] Pope
The sacred object she entrusted us to use
if our country ever faced another crisis,
[13:24] Pope
which calls the goddess herself
to descend upon our realm!
[13:27] Pope
Behold the goddess's miracle!
[13:29] Pope
Our Holy Land of Rueda is a
nation blessed by the goddess,
[13:33] Pope
and we are her blessed people!
[13:46] Pope
Goddess Celestine! Thank you for
gracing us with your presence!
[13:49] Celestine
Where is the distortion?!
[13:51] Pope
Eh?
[13:52] Celestine
I said, where is the distortion?!
[13:56] Kaoru
Hey, Celes. Long time no see.
[13:58] Celestine
Oh, Kaoru! I didn't expect to see you here.
[14:01] Celestine
Wait, this isn't the time for that!
[14:03] Kaoru
There is no distortion.
[14:05] Celestine
Huh?
[14:05] Kaoru
That guy just wrongfully
used the emergency crystal ball
[14:08] Kaoru
to summon you in hopes
of saving his own skin.
[14:11] Celestine
Say what?
[14:12] Kaoru
After all, the Holy Land of
Rueda is blessed by the goddess,
[14:16] Kaoru
and its people are better than everyone
else because they're blessed.
[14:19] Kaoru
Seems he wanted to tell the rest of
us to shut up and bend to his will.
[14:23] Celestine
Huh? I don't follow.
[14:25] Pope
G-Goddess?
[14:27] Celestine
I've never given any special
blessings to any one nation.
[14:32] Pope
B-But when you descended
in our country before,
[14:36] Pope
you gave us this crystal ball.
[14:38] Celestine
Oh, that?
[14:39] Celestine
I give those out in every location
where I fix a distortion.
[14:44] Celestine
In any case,
[14:46] Celestine
I think this is the second time I've
been summoned over something so silly.
[14:50] Kaoru
What happened the first time?
[14:52] Celestine
I was so irritated, I destroyed
the entire country.
[14:56] Celestine
I even accidentally destroyed
the surrounding countries.
[15:01] Kaoru
Uh, total annihilation seems a bit crude...
[15:04] Kaoru
Please don't do that this time, okay?
[15:06] Celestine
Well, okay, if you're the one asking.
[15:10] Celestine
But you there!
[15:13] Celestine
I have never once blessed
your country or your people,
[15:18] Celestine
nor did I hand you a doctrine or
acknowledge you as my followers.
[15:22] Celestine
I hereby forbid you from ever using my name
to serve your own purposes or justify war again.
[15:28] Celestine
If you do, I won't be so tolerant next time.
[15:31] Pope
Please forgive me!
[15:34] Kaoru
Say, everyone, don't you think we
should stop calling Rueda a "Holy Land"?
[15:39] Kaoru
The goddess doesn't favor
any one group of people over another.
[15:43] Kaoru
Right, Celes?
[15:44] Celestine
Pretty much.
[15:45] Celestine
Oh, but the temples in each nation
are still welcome to use my name.
[15:51] Celestine
You're allowed to worship
me as your goddess, as well.
[15:54] People
We are so fortunate!
[15:56] Celestine
By the way, Kaoru, what do
you think of this world?
[15:59] Celestine
I know you kind of just got here, but...
[16:00] Kaoru
No, I've been here for quite a while!
[16:03] Kaoru
Your sense of time is way off from ours!
[16:05] Celestine
Oh, yeah. To me, ten years and a
hundred years are about the same,
[16:10] Celestine
but humans aren't like that, huh?
[16:12] Kaoru
For sure.
[16:14] Kaoru
I've had all kinds of adventures
and a lot of fun, thanks.
[16:17] Celestine
Really? Maybe I can go ahead and
deliver a report to him, then.
[16:23] Kaoru
Yeah, if you wait too long, I could
end up an old woman pretty quick.
[16:30] Celestine
Oh, of course you wouldn't!
You and your funny jokes!
[16:35] Celestine
Well, I need to head back now.
[16:37] Kaoru
Got it.
[16:39] Kaoru
Play it smooth with that Earth guy, okay?
[16:43] Celestine
I'll do my best!
[16:44] Kaoru
And with that, our unprecedented conference
featuring a visit from the goddess ended.
[16:49] Kaoru
Afterward, Rueda lost its
status as the "holy land,"
[16:53] Kaoru
and all the clergymen who were lining
their own pockets were arrested.
[16:58] Kaoru
The Empire of Aligot, however,
gladly went back over the mountains
[17:01] Kaoru
in search of partners to negotiate with.
[17:03] Kaoru
And...
SIGN Kingdom of Balmore, Port Town (Four Years Later)
[17:05] Roland
So this is Aligot's new ship?
[17:08] Roland
I'd heard rumors, but it's
more than I ever expected.
[17:11] Francette
Yes, it's truly splendid.
[17:13] Kaoru
And, um... what's that?
[17:15] Francette
The ship's guardian deity.
[17:17] Francette
The goddess who saved the Empire
of Aligot, or so they say.
[17:20] Roland
They say her glare scares
away monsters in the sea.
[17:24] Kaoru
Oh, that's why the eyes look like that.
[17:27] Kaoru
They could've added a little more up
top to make me look more like Celes.
[17:31] Kaoru
Four years later, this
world is still at peace.
[17:36] Kaoru
The Empire of Aligot is investing in
marine trading to increase its strength,
[17:40] Kaoru
and Rueda was annexed by
the Kingdom of Balmore
[17:43] Kaoru
and is now ruled by a new government.
[17:45] Kaoru
I retired from my job helping
at Meyer Workshop.
[17:49] Kaoru
A member of Eyes of the Goddess,
Lolotte, does their housework now.
[17:54] Kaoru
And by the way...
[17:55] Kaoru
Asil seems to have grown quite
attached to Lolotte lately.
[17:59] Kaoru
Lucy took over the operation
of the house the kids live in.
[18:03] Kaoru
Both Emil and Belle have really grown up.
[18:06] Kaoru
Things seem to be going
well with them lately.
[18:09] Kaoru
Same for these two.
[18:11] Kaoru
Roland finally asked Fran to marry him.
[18:14] Kaoru
Her answer was... well, that's
probably obvious, huh?
[18:18] Kaoru
And that means...
[18:20] Kaoru
I'm the only one left
who's still on the market!
[18:25] Kaoru
So anyway, I'm thinking of
heading out on a journey.
[18:28] Kaoru
Please don't look for me.
[18:29] Roland
What do you intend to do on this journey?
[18:32] Kaoru
It'll be a pleasure trip
to look for a husband.
[18:34] Francette
A husband? Uh, but...
[18:37] Kaoru
Yes, in the past four years,
[18:39] Kaoru
I didn't grow a single millimeter.
[18:42] Kaoru
In fact, nothing about me,
physically, has changed at all.
[18:46] Kaoru
It must be because...
[18:47] (Flashback) Celestine
Oh, of course you wouldn't!
You and your funny jokes!
[18:52] Kaoru
Celes reincarnated me using
a god's sense of time, didn't she?
[18:57] Kaoru
Anyway, I want to get away from this
area where everyone knows about me.
[19:04] Kaoru
I won't be able to supply
you with potions anymore,
[19:07] Kaoru
but you'll only be going back
to the way you lived before.
[19:11] Kaoru
I believe the goddess's blessing should
be spread out widely, thinly, and equally.
[19:16] Roland
You're right. In the past four years,
[19:18] Roland
our kingdom's readiness in
medical matters has improved drastically.
[19:21] Roland
Even without potions,
[19:23] Roland
we should be able to save many sick
and injured people on our own now.
[19:27] Kaoru
So I'll be saying goodbye
to all of you for a while.
[19:30] Kaoru
Thank you for all you've done for me.
[19:39] Kaoru
And... it still turns out like this, huh?
[19:42] Ed
Well, where to, miss?
[19:44] Kaoru
I'll head to the Kingdom of Brancott for now.
[19:47] Kaoru
I can't get to the other countries in
the east without passing through there,
[19:51] Kaoru
and there are some people there
that I'd like to thank properly.
[19:55] Kaoru
It's just...
[19:56] Ed
Just what?
[19:57] Kaoru
That guy is there, too.
[20:00] Fernand
What?! Kaoru has returned to our kingdom?!
[20:04] Fernand
I can't just sit around here!
I must go find her!
[20:07] Allan
Hey, come on. You're getting
ahead of yourself here.
[20:10] Fabio
We only just got word from the
border guard's mounted messenger.
[20:14] Fernand
I don't care! There's no way
I'm letting her go this time!
[20:20] Fernand
I've had many marriage proposals
in the past four years,
[20:22] Fernand
and I turned them all down. Do you know why?
[20:25] Fernand
Yes! It was all so I could
take Kaoru as my wife!
[20:29] Allan
He's gotten a lot worse.
[20:31] Fabio
It's an obsession at this point.
[20:33] Fernand
Just wait, Kaoru! My beloved bride-to-be!
[20:39] Fernand
Huh?!
[20:42] Eme
I told you, the one who came here
was Kaoru's older sister, Alpha!
[20:47] Fabio
Are you certain?
[20:48] Allan
The two of them do look identical.
[20:51] Agathe
We're positive.
[20:53] Agathe
When we told her Kaoru was run out of
the capital with injuries... Remember?
[20:58] Eme
She got a really scary
look on her face and said,
[21:00] Eme
"I'll make those guys
regret this!" She was furious!
[21:04] Eme
It even made us shiver!
[21:06] Fernand
I-I see. I do apologize.
[21:15] Fernand
It was the older sister again.
[21:18] Fernand
Where in the world is Kaoru, then?
[21:21] Fabio
Fernand, this is difficult to say, but...
[21:24] Allan
Just give up on her already.
[21:26] Allan
If you still can't find her after all this,
that's probably her answer to you.
[21:34] Fernand
No.
[21:35] Allan/Fabio
Huh?
[21:36] Fernand
There is only one I have
chosen to be my wife!
[21:39] Fernand
And that's you, Kaoru!
[21:41] Fernand
I will never give up on you!
[21:44] Francette
What's the matter?
[21:45] Kaoru
I don't know... I just felt a
terrible chill all of a sudden.
[21:51] Roland
The town of Celinas is in sight now.
[21:55] Kaoru
Okay, everyone, once we enter town,
remember our story.
[21:59] Kaoru
We're noble brothers and sisters.
[22:01] Francette
Understood, Lady Kaoru.
[22:03] Kaoru
What did I just say? No "Lady"!
[22:06] Francette
I'm sorry. It's hard to break the habit.
[22:09] Francette
From now on, I'll just
call you... Kaoru, then?
[22:12] Kaoru
Yeah, please do.
[22:14] Kaoru
All right, let's go!
[22:15] Roland/Francette
Right!
[22:16] Kaoru
Hi-yo, Silver!
[22:18] Ed
Yeah, baby!
[22:19] Ed
Wait, my name's Ed! Who the heck is Silver?!
[22:25] Celestine
Sheesh...
[22:26] Celestine
I was freaking out, thinking
there was another distortion.
[22:30] Celestine
I'm glad it turned out to be nothing, though.
[22:32] Celestine
Okay, perfect! I bet he'll love this!
[22:36] Celestine
I'm stepping out!
