[00:01] ---
    You have to win this duel,
[00:04] ---
    so you won't be expelled
    and I won't be forced to marry.
[00:09] ---
    I don't want to.
[00:11] ---
    What?
[00:12] ---
    It only makes sense for us
    to fight together now!
[00:15] ---
    My list...
[00:17] ---
    I made a list of things
    I wanted to do when I went to school.
[00:22] ---
    Make friends,
[00:24] ---
    call them by nicknames,
    study in the library,
[00:28] ---
    eat lunch on the roof,
[00:29] ---
    and...
[00:31] ---
    go on dates.
[00:33] ---
    What's that?
[00:34] ---
    I want to go on dates!
[00:38] ---
    You're sex-crazed.
[00:39] ---
    I-I can't go on dates once I'm married!
[00:43] ---
    Whyever not?
[00:45] ---
    Cheating is wrong!
[00:48] ---
    Calm down!
[00:49] ---
    It's not going to happen right away.
[00:52] ---
    The legal age for marriage is 17.
[00:54] ---
    Which means it won't happen
    until my birthday, at least.
[00:58] ---
    R-Really?
[01:01] ---
    I'm going to escape here and
    go to Earth, no matter what.
[01:04] ---
    You just have to play my groom until then.
[01:07] ---
    Let's make a deal.
[01:16] ---
    Welcome back, young master.
[01:18] ---
    How did you like the Darilbalde?
[01:22] ---
    What the heck did you do
    to this mobile suit?
[01:25] ---
    We added a 5th-generation
    Decision Making Extension AI.
[01:28] ---
    It's still a beta version,
[01:29] ---
    but it makes composite Bayesian
    predictions from previous combat data--
[01:33] ---
    Am I not skilled enough to win?
[01:39] ---
    Dad...
[01:40] ---
    I gathered these staff members
[01:42] ---
    as well as the Darilbalde
    just to make you win.
[01:46] ---
    There's no room here for childish pride!
[01:49] ---
    If you want to be treated like an adult,
    then win and reclaim the title of Holder!
[01:56] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:29] ---
    Say, Mom. What's a Gundam?
[03:33] ---
    What's this all of a sudden?
[03:35] ---
    People from the Benerit Group
[03:37] ---
    say that Aerial's a Gundam.
[03:40] ---
    And they even call me a witch.
[03:42] ---
    Is it true?
[03:44] ---
    I don't recall raising you as a witch.
[03:49] ---
    Neither do I.
[03:51] ---
    Of course, I know about that past
    incident, and about Gundams.

[03:56] ---
    But you and Aerial
    aren't like that, Suletta.

[03:59] ---
    You're my precious daughters.
[04:02] ---
    Your mom will vouch for you.
[04:05] ---
    Now, don't you have to leave yet?
[04:08] ---
    Oh, no! Well, good luck at work, Mom!
[04:12] ---
    Thank you. Good luck to you too.
[04:15] ---
    Suletta.
[04:23] ---
    Look, there she is.
[04:25] ---
    The Mercurian girl.
[04:26] ---
    I heard the duel's being redone.
[04:27] ---
    The one who cheated?
[04:30] ---
    Ms. Suletta Mercury!
[04:32] ---
    Good morning!
[04:35] ---
    Th-Thank you for your--
[04:38] ---
    I was watching it!
[04:38] ---
    Your mobile suit was amazing!
[04:41] ---
    What?
[04:42] ---
    What kind of layer structure
    is it using for its swarm control?
[04:45] ---
    Is it a conventional one?
[04:46] ---
    Or is it based on
    a simultaneous spatial concept?
[04:49] ---
    My mom said something about
    "using successive spaces concurrently..."
[04:54] ---
    So that's it! Now I understand
    the concept-synthesizing schema.
[04:59] ---
    It enables it to clear the friction--
[04:59] ---
    Hey! Mercurian wench!
[05:01] ---
    Our last duel was voided.
[05:03] ---
    Now we'll settle things for real.
[05:05] ---
    Ms. Suletta?
[05:06] ---
    W-Well, if that's the case, then...
[05:08] ---
    My opponent will be...
[05:10] ---
    Me.
[05:11] ---
    That's a relief.
[05:12] ---
    A relief?!
[05:13] ---
    W-Well, you know, I already won once...
[05:17] ---
    Don't get carried away, you bumpkin!
[05:22] ---
    W-Well then, I'll be going!
[05:22] ---
    What?
[05:26] ---
    Ms. Suletta!
[05:30] ---
    Your help in the inquiry was invaluable.
    Thank you very much.
[05:34] ---
    You blackmailed me. Don't be sarcastic.
[05:38] ---
    Let's not meddle in each other's
    business from now on.
[05:41] ---
    How did you know
    about the assassination attempt?
[05:45] ---
    Call it a trade secret.
[05:47] ---
    Why didn't Delling object
    to Shin Sei's request?

[05:51] ---
    Vim Jeturk's defending them
    bothers me, too.

[05:54] ---
    Prospera Mercury, representative
    of the Shin Sei Development Corporation.
[05:59] ---
    She belonged to the Mercury Development
    Group, married in the field,
[06:02] ---
    and gave birth to Suletta Mercury.
[06:04] ---
    Injuries to half her body
    from a resource mining accident...
[06:08] ---
    So that explains
    the headgear and right arm.
[06:12] ---
    She's officially in charge
    of development, too.

[06:16] ---
    How would she find funds
    and infrastructure in that backwater?
[06:19] ---
    There's no record of her
    registry as a mobile suit engineer.
[06:24] ---
    In that case, who could have
    built that machine?

[06:30] ---
    Shaddiq.
[06:31] ---
    You look into the daughter.
[06:34] ---
    Yes, Father.
[06:42] ---
    Things are getting interesting.
[06:45] ---
    All done.
[06:47] ---
    I'll leave the fertilizer here.
[06:50] ---
    Bring it to me.
[06:51] ---
    You don't mind if I come in?
[06:55] ---
    Go ahead.
[06:57] ---
    Does this mean we're best friends?
[06:59] ---
    -Huh?
    -
[07:00] ---
    Sorry!
[07:01] ---
    Well, whatever we are,
    if you lose that duel,
[07:03] ---
    it's over for both of us.
[07:05] ---
    I'm sorry.
[07:07] ---
    Suletta Mercury.
[07:09] ---
    Mr. Elan, right?
[07:13] ---
    Th-Thank you for...
[07:16] ---
    I came here to summon you
[07:18] ---
    to a Dueling Committee meeting.
[07:19] ---
    A committee?
[07:21] ---
    This guy's a member
    of the Dueling Committee.
[07:26] ---
    I didn't know how to reach you.
[07:28] ---
    May we exchange contacts?
[07:33] ---
    Number 12 on my list came true.
[07:36] ---
    Your list?
[07:38] ---
    Exchanging contact info with someone.
[07:40] ---
    It was something I wanted
    to try when I got to school.
[07:44] ---
    What else is on your list?
[07:45] ---
    Making friends,
    calling them by nicknames...
[07:48] ---
    Going on dates.
[07:49] ---
    Ms. Miorine!
[07:51] ---
    I hope...
[07:53] ---
    you'll fulfill many wishes on your list.
[07:58] ---
    Welcome to the Dueling Committee Lounge.
[08:02] ---
    My name is Shaddiq Zenelli.
[08:04] ---
    Nice to meet you, Mercurian Miss.
[08:08] ---
    Nice to m-meet...
[08:12] ---
    Shall we begin?
[08:14] ---
    What?
[08:15] ---
    The oath.
[08:16] ---
    For the duel.
[08:21] ---
    Both parties,
[08:23] ---
    deposit your souls on Libra's scales.
[08:25] ---
    The duelists are Guel Jeturk
    and Suletta Mercury.
[08:29] ---
    The location will be the
    7th tactical testing sector.
[08:32] ---
    The one-on-one code will apply.
[08:34] ---
    Any objections?
[08:35] ---
    None.
[08:35] ---
    None.
[08:37] ---
    Suletta Mercury,
[08:38] ---
    what is your stake in this duel?
[08:42] ---
    Our duels require you each
    to place something on the line.
[08:46] ---
    Money, an apology, a woman...
[08:49] ---
    You're the only one who'd bet women.
[08:51] ---
    I'm not as bad as you think.
[08:54] ---
    And I know they'll always
    demand I give the girls back.
[08:58] ---
    Suletta Mercury.
[08:59] ---
    Oh, right!
[09:00] ---
    Um... please apologize to Ms. Miorine.
[09:05] ---
    Guel Jeturk,
[09:07] ---
    what is your stake in this duel?
[09:09] ---
    Same as last time.
[09:11] ---
    Alea jacta est.
[09:13] ---
    The duel is approved.
[09:19] ---
    How nice for you, Mr. Guel.
[09:23] ---
    When you have powerful parents,
[09:24] ---
    you can even undo the results of a duel.
[09:27] ---
    You'll have no excuse
    if you lose this time.
[09:30] ---
    If I were you, I'd reconsider.
[09:33] ---
    If you want to duel me,
    just say so, Secelia!
[09:36] ---
    I'm giving you advice.
[09:39] ---
    I don't want to see
    your market value drop any lower.
[09:44] ---
    Or has it already bottomed out?
[09:47] ---
    Stop it! No!
[09:50] ---
    Mercurian Miss?
[09:51] ---
    L-Laughing at someone
    who doesn't run away is...
[09:56] ---
    It's wrong!
[10:00] ---
    Why would you say something like that?
[10:03] ---
    Don't you want to laugh at me, too?
[10:06] ---
    It's because "If you run, you gain one."
[10:12] ---
    F-For example, if you're facing
    a strong enemy,
[10:16] ---
    by running away,
    you'd gain safety and security.
[10:20] ---
    I wouldn't run.
[10:22] ---
    But if you fight, you might lose!
[10:25] ---
    I wouldn't lose!
[10:28] ---
    The last time was a fluke.
[10:30] ---
    It wasn't a fluke.
[10:32] ---
    If I hadn't let my guard down,
    I would have won.
[10:34] ---
    Which is another way
    of saying you lost, right?
[10:39] ---
    But either way, it's okay.
[10:42] ---
    What? What's okay?
[10:43] ---
    If you move forward without running,
    you gain confidence in yourself,
[10:47] ---
    or experience, or recognition.
[10:51] ---
    You gain a lot more
    than you would by running.
[10:53] ---
    That's why "If you run, you gain one."
[10:57] ---
    And, "If you move forward, you gain two."
[11:00] ---
    That's quite a philosophy.
[11:02] ---
    My mother taught it to me.
[11:07] ---
    My mother is always strong and kind.
[11:12] ---
    A good parent, huh?
[11:14] ---
    Yes. My life's goal is to be like...
[11:20] ---
    I don't get him.
[11:26] ---
    Mr. Guel!
[11:28] ---
    Your machine is ready!
[11:30] ---
    Please give that bumpkin
    a beating she won't forget!
[11:33] ---
    Brother.
[11:35] ---
    This isn't a duel just for yourself.
[11:38] ---
    You haven't given up on
    being the ace pilot of Dominicus, right?
[11:42] ---
    I haven't. And I'm going to win at any cost.
[11:50] ---
    Permet link established.
[11:52] ---
    Armament, all green. I ate properly, too.
[11:56] ---
    Suletta?
[11:57] ---
    M-Ms. Miorine!
[11:59] ---
    I registered myself in your contacts.
[12:01] ---
    How could you just...
[12:03] ---
    Look, don't you get it?
[12:05] ---
    Your future and mine depend totally
    on this duel's outcome.
[12:09] ---
    Don't forget the deal we made.
[12:13] ---
    Right.
[12:17] ---
    Dad, only students are allowed
    to be involved in duels.
[12:20] ---
    This is company business.
[12:22] ---
    Anyway, did you make the arrangement?
[12:24] ---
    Yes, but...
[12:26] ---
    But what?
[12:28] ---
    My brother doesn't need
    tricks like that to win.
[12:32] ---
    Have they started?
[12:34] ---
    Any minute now.
[12:35] ---
    I wonder who'll win.
[12:36] ---
    It's got to be Mr. Guel!
[12:38] ---
    Once Jeturk House gets serious,
    there's no stopping them.
[12:47] ---
    With mutual consent by both parties,
[12:50] ---
    we will now begin the duel.
[12:52] ---
    As always, victory will go
[12:55] ---
    to the first one to break the blade
    antenna of their opponent's mobile suit.

[13:00] ---
    The observer
[13:01] ---
    shall be Elan Ceres from Peil House.
[13:03] ---
    You can come out of your MS container.
[13:06] ---
    State your name and student ID number.
[13:08] ---
    Right! LP041.
[13:11] ---
    Suletta Mercury, Aerial, launching!
[13:16] ---
    Both parties, face off.
[13:23] ---
    Suletta Mercury...
[13:25] ---
    Y-Yes?
[13:26] ---
    Please recite the duel vow.
[13:27] ---
    The vow?
[13:29] ---
    I taught it to you just now!
[13:31] ---
    Um...
[13:33] ---
    Victory is never decided
    by mobile suit performance alone.

[13:38] ---
    Nor by the skill of the pilot, alone.
[13:41] ---
    The result itself is the only truth.
[13:41] ---
    1\an8}The result itself is the only truth.
[13:44] ---
    Fix release.
[13:51] ---
    I'm going to win
[13:53] ---
    and I'll stay at this school
    with Ms. Miorine!
[14:01] ---
    That's a diversion. The drone-like things
    are coming from three o'clock...?
[14:09] ---
    What the...
[14:21] ---
    What just happened?
[14:24] ---
    I'll be hit!
[14:30] ---
    He deflected it?
[14:33] ---
    This thing...
[14:35] ---
    It's not a Dilanza?
[14:37] ---
    Understand that an outdated Gundam
    is no match for our company's Darilbalde.
[14:44] ---
    Is that a different mobile suit from before?
[14:47] ---
    That just means they're serious.
[14:50] ---
    Don't lower your guard!
[14:59] ---
    She got behind him!
[15:01] ---
    No way!
[15:06] ---
    Are you saying...
[15:11] ---
    you don't need my will at all?
[15:21] ---
    It dissipated.
[15:23] ---
    Is this water?
[15:25] ---
    Is it the heat management system?
[15:27] ---
    Yes.
[15:28] ---
    1\an8}Abnormal heat detected within front.

[15:28] ---
    With that much water being dispersed...
[15:30] ---
    beam weapons will inevitably be degraded.
[15:31] ---
    1\an8}Emergency water cooling in progress.
[15:35] ---
    Take a good look!
[15:36] ---
    My plan was right on the money!
[15:41] ---
    Too bad for you.
[15:43] ---
    Lady Luck is on my side this time!
[15:48] ---
    There's no way the system would start
    spraying water without an anomaly.
[15:52] ---
    Those Jeturk House thugs.
[15:54] ---
    They'd really go this far?
[15:58] ---
    Stop the duel immediately!
[16:00] ---
    You should only resume after
    you've corrected the system error!
[16:03] ---
    Duels are never held on equal terms.
[16:05] ---
    1\an8}What are you saying?

[16:06] ---
    It's up to students' patrons
[16:07] ---
    which mobile suits and which
    support staff they can access.

[16:13] ---
    Even if this accident were set up on purpose,
[16:16] ---
    that would still be part of his strength.
[16:19] ---
    In that case, you'll allow me to be
    part of Suletta's strength, won't you?
[16:23] ---
    Suletta, do you read me?
[16:25] ---
    Ms. Miorine?
[16:26] ---
    I'll stop the squall!
[16:29] ---
    Just hang on until then!
[16:31] ---
    But how?
[16:32] ---
    Just don't let him beat you!
[16:37] ---
    My lousy father...
[16:39] ---
    This time, I won't let things
    turn out as he pleases!
[16:45] ---
    A mobile craft?
[16:48] ---
    "Hanging on" is easier said than done...
[16:51] ---
    Suletta Mercury,
[16:53] ---
    if you really are a witch,
[16:54] ---
    you can survive this situation.
[17:01] ---
    I've got to hang on. I've got to hang on.
[17:05] ---
    I've got to hang on. I've got to hang on.
[17:10] ---
    I will hang on!
[17:15] ---
    She's safe!
[17:16] ---
    But it's still only a matter of time.
[17:19] ---
    It looks like the game is over.
[17:20] ---
    In the end,
[17:22] ---
    the winner is always
    the one with the stronger backing.
[17:25] ---
    Darn! That was so close!
[17:27] ---
    Heck, she dodged again. What?
[17:34] ---
    I knew it would be you two.
[17:35] ---
    Miorine?
[17:37] ---
    Using a mobile craft isn't fair!
[17:38] ---
    Look who's talking!
[17:39] ---
    I mean, never mind!
[17:47] ---
    It stopped?
[17:48] ---
    Hey! What's going on?
[17:51] ---
    Suletta?
[17:52] ---
    All that's left now is for you to win.
[17:55] ---
    Thanks, Ms. Miorine!
[17:58] ---
    Aerial...
[18:00] ---
    Now it's our turn!
[18:08] ---
    Go! It's 8.6-to-1 odds!
[18:11] ---
    Blow the Spacian away!
[18:13] ---
    She's not from Earth either.
[18:17] ---
    You fool! Don't stop!
[18:28] ---
    No way you'd be tricked
    by a decoy that cheap!
[18:31] ---
    Guel!
[18:33] ---
    What are you doing? Finish her off!
[18:36] ---
    Dad?
[18:38] ---
    How did you...
[18:40] ---
    Was that heat management thing your doing?
[18:43] ---
    Dad! Why won't you believe in me?
[18:46] ---
    If you want me to believe,
    then crush that Gundam!

[18:49] ---
    Do you think I can't win if I play fair?
[18:52] ---
    That's the child in you talking.
    The result is all that matters!

[18:56] ---
    Brother, just focus on the battle for now!
[18:59] ---
    You're only saying that for Dad's sake!
[19:02] ---
    Why don't you understand
    this duel is bigger than just you?
[19:05] ---
    Children should do as their parents say!
[19:08] ---
    Shut up!
[19:12] ---
    The Decision Making Extension AI
    has been disabled.
[19:15] ---
    That fool!
[19:16] ---
    An error? But...
[19:23] ---
    This is my fight!
[19:27] ---
    It's mine.
[19:28] ---
    Only mine!
[19:32] ---
    His moves are different from before!
[19:46] ---
    This guy is strong...
[19:49] ---
    But Aerial and I won't lose!
[19:53] ---
    After all...
[19:55] ---
    Guel Jeturk cannot lose!
[19:58] ---
    There's still so much left
    on my wish list!
SIGN    SULETTA MERCURY WINS

    Ms. Suletta, you're really amazing.
[20:38] ---
    Ms. Miorine!
[20:39] ---
    M-My screen is filled with words!
[20:42] ---
    So many words!
[20:43] ---
    1\an8}So many words, many words!
[20:43] ---
    Why did you release all messages?
[20:46] ---
    1\an8}So many words!

[20:46] ---
    I said, only from registered contacts.
[20:51] ---
    You won. We won.
[20:53] ---
    Right.
[20:54] ---
    Now you won't be expelled!
[20:56] ---

    Calling a friend by a nickname
    was near the top of my list, so...
[21:21] ---
    It's cute, isn't it?
[21:23] ---
    Rejected. It's super lame.
[21:25] ---
    Th-Then how about--
[21:26] ---
    Rejected!

[21:42] ---
    E-Excuse me...
[21:46] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[21:50] ---
    I underestimated you.
[21:55] ---
    Well, you were, you know, really strong.
[22:07] ---
    Suletta Mercury...
[22:11] ---
    Will you...
[22:14] ---
    marry me?
[22:20] ---
    What?
[23:54] ---
