**[00:14] Gejutel**
Is this it?
**[00:19] Tashiro**
Next period's in another classroom.
**[00:20] Kase**
What's wrong? Let's go, c'mon.
**[00:23] Regis**
Go on ahead.
**[00:25] Regis**
Seira and I will be a bit late.
**[00:32] M-21**
Pardon me.
**[00:33] M-21**
Entry without permission is
prohibited, even for parents.
**[00:37] M-21**
My apologies, but would you mind
showing some identification?
**[00:41] Gejutel**
What about you, then?
**[00:43] Gejutel**
What are people such
as yourselves doing here?
**[00:48] M-21**
*Who... is he?!*
**[00:53] Regis**
It is a privilege to see you
again, Clan Leader.
**[00:56] Takio**
Clan...
**[00:58] Tao**
...Leader?
**[00:59] Gejutel**
Regis, explain this.
**[01:02] Gejutel**
Common sense dictates that the likes
of these three should not be here.
**[01:08] Regis**
No, they are—
**[01:09] Gejutel**
Regis.
**[01:10] Gejutel**
Have you forgotten your pride as a noble?
**[01:13] Gejutel**
Cavorting with people such as these,
and neglecting your duty as a result...
**[01:18] Franken**
Oh, dear.
**[01:19] Franken**
What business do you have
at their place of work?
**[01:25] Gejutel**
Frankenstein?
**[01:28] Franken**
Long time no see, Gejutel K. Landegre.
***SIGN*** Frankenstein
**[03:06] Raskreia**
Gejutel has left?
**[03:08] Ludis**
Yes, he has departed for Japan.
**[03:11] Karias**
Is it true that Regis and Seira
**[03:14] Karias**
have encountered the one
from inside the coffin?
**[03:17] Rajak**
If they've met someone who seemed
to be a noble, then it is likely.
**[03:22] Rozaria**
What naughty children.
**[03:25] Rozaria**
If that's why they've been silent,
we should really punish them.
**[03:28] Karias**
Hey, now...
**[03:30] Kei**
Our enemy is the one from inside the coffin...
**[03:33] Kei**
The traitor who betrayed the nobility.
**[03:35] Raskreia**
Precisely.
**[03:39] Raskreia**
Cadis Etrama Di Raizel...
**[03:44] Raskreia**
That filthy creature.
**[03:50] Rajak**
You were trying to defend Regis
and Seira, weren't you?
**[03:53] Karias**
I wouldn't paint a target
on myself like that.
**[03:56] Karias**
What's so unusual about kids
not doing their homework?
**[03:59] Rajak**
I'd say that's just you, Karias.
**[04:02] Karias**
Yes, of course. As you say, Rajak-dono.
**[04:06] Rajak**
You've always been soft on those two.
**[04:09] Rajak**
Don't let your personal
feelings overtake you.
**[04:16] Rajak**
As clan leaders, our duty
is to serve the lord
**[04:19] Rajak**
and dedicate our lives
to carrying out her orders.
**[04:23] Rajak**
Apprehending the traitor
should be your first priority.
**[04:28] Karias**
I can't stand you Kertia men.
You're so quick to risk your lives.
**[04:32] Karias**
You shouldn't rush to your death like that.
**[04:35] Rael**
Brother...
**[04:38] Karias**
Rael?
**[04:42] Rael**
I heard Seira's name mentioned.
What happened?
**[04:46] Rajak**
Call me Clan Leader, not Brother.
**[04:56] Karias**
Oh, boy.
**[04:57] Karias**
I think your brother's a bit busy right now.
**[05:01] Rael**
Clan Leader, Clan Leader...
**[05:03] Rael**
I'm qualified, too.
**[05:05] Karias**
Weren't you just released
from your confinement?
**[05:08] Karias**
Better not butt into—
**[05:10] Rael**
Don't treat me like a child!
**[05:14] Karias**
Well, at least his little
brother's hell-bent on living.
**[05:23] Franken**
What's the matter? Is it that unusual?
**[05:27] Gejutel**
Are Regis and Seira living here
with those humans?
**[05:31] Gajutal**
And you?
**[05:33] Franken**
Yes, because this is my house.
**[05:38] Gejutel**
So it was you, then...
**[05:40] Gejutel**
Cadis Etrama Di Raizel-sama.
**[05:45] Raizel**
It's been a long time, Gejutel.
**[05:48] Gejutel**
I heard that you spent the roughly 800 years
**[05:52] Gejutel**
since your disappearance in a deep sleep.
**[05:55] Raizel**
Frankenstein has told me that is the case.
**[06:00] Raizel**
Ever since Regis and Seira arrived here,
I foresaw that this day would come.
**[06:07] Raizel**
They came here to find me, did they not?
**[06:11] Gejutel**
They were sent to investigate upon
learning that the coffin was found.
**[06:16] Gejutel**
There have been great changes in Lukedonia—
**[06:19] Gejutel**
the nobles' country—since you disappeared.
**[06:22] Gejutel**
No...
**[06:24] Gejutel**
It may be more accurate to say, "since
the previous lord entered eternal sleep."
**[06:33] Gejutel**
For nobility, eternal sleep
is synonymous with death.
**[06:36] Gejutel**
After the previous lord's death,
**[06:38] Gejutel**
his daughter, Raskreia-sama,
took over as lord.
**[06:43] Gejutel**
Raskreia-sama is searching for you...
**[06:49] Gejutel**
as the traitor who drove
the previous lord to his death.
**[06:54] Franken**
What?! On what grounds—
**[06:57] Raizel**
What is the present state of Lukedonia?
**[07:00] Gejutel**
Many senior clan leaders entered eternal
sleep along with the previous lord,
**[07:04] Gejutel**
and the hole left by the transition
**[07:07] Gejutel**
to a young lord and young
clan leaders remains vast.
**[07:10] Franken**
And Seira Loyard is one of them?
**[07:14] Franken**
I saw her in possession of a soul weapon.
**[07:18] Franken**
Those are weapons that have been
handed down for generations
**[07:21] Franken**
from one clan leader to the next.
**[07:24] Franken**
The leader of the Loyard clan, at her age...
**[07:27] Franken**
Now it makes sense.
**[07:28] Franken**
It seems Lukedonia is drastically
different from the way I remember it.
**[07:35] Gejutel**
Raizel-sama...
**[07:37] Gejutel**
Won't you return to Lukedonia?
**[07:42] Gejutel**
If you have any intention of
defending your own innocence,
**[07:46] Gejutel**
please return with me.
**[07:51] Raizel**
Gejutel...
**[07:52] Gejutel**
Yes?
**[07:54] Raizel**
I wish to remain here a bit longer.
**[08:01] Tao**
So basically, for you guys, a "clan leader"
is someone super important, huh?
**[08:07] Regis**
Yes.
**[08:08] Regis**
It's a title bestowed only upon
the thirteen household heads
**[08:12] Regis**
with the highest noble blood.
**[08:14] Seira**
Gejutel-sama is the Landegre clan leader.
**[08:18] Tao**
So he's your relative, Regis?
**[08:20] Regis**
He's my grandfather.
**[08:21] Tao**
Ah, no wonder you look so much like him.
**[08:24] M-21**
How?
**[08:25] Takio**
They're nothing alike in size.
**[08:27] Tao**
No, no, no!
**[08:29] Tao**
I mean the black streaks in their hair.
**[08:30] Tao**
I dunno how I'd feel about that
as a fashion statement,
**[08:33] Tao**
but I hadn't considered
that it might be hereditary!
**[08:36] Takio**
That's true. As a fashion
statement, it would be hideous.
**[08:39] Regis**
I'm not so sure bowl cuts
or long hair are any better.
**[08:42] Tao**
Hey! This is a techno cut, not a bowl cut!
**[08:46] Takio**
And I prefer to retain my natural hairstyle
**[08:47] Takio**
rather than take scissors
unnecessarily to—
**[08:53] Tao**
Anyway, what we're curious about
is how he's connected to our boss.
**[08:58] Takio**
You're right. The tension
between them was intense.
**[09:01] M-21**
Did something happen between those two?
**[09:05] Regis**
I don't know.
**[09:06] Regis**
The fact that they even know each other
was a surprise to Seira and I.
**[09:10] Tao**
Oh, really?
**[09:12] M-21**
So, Frankenstein isn't the same
kind of person you guys are?
**[09:17] Regis**
It's clear that he's no
ordinary human, but...
**[09:21] Seira**
We aren't certain ourselves.
**[09:24] Seira**
In a way, he is even more
mysterious than Raizel-sama.
**[09:32] Gejutel**
I never imagined I would
one day stay in your home.
**[09:36] Franken**
I cannot simply ignore Regis' grandfather.
**[09:39] Franken**
Frankly, I wish more than anything
that you would leave at once.
**[09:45] Gejutel**
You never change.
**[09:46] Gejutel**
Nor has the way you conceal
your fangs in his presence.
**[09:52] Gejutel**
I will have you know
that I still don't trust you.
**[09:58] Gejutel**
You are still the madman who slaughtered
many of us nobles in Lukedonia long ago.
**[10:20] (Flashback) Knight**
You bastard!
**[10:22] (Flashback) Knight**
You think you can defy the Central
Order of Knights and get away with it?!
**[10:27] (Flashback) Franken**
Oh?
**[10:28] (Flashback) Franken**
So you're from the Central Order of Knights?
**[10:31] (Flashback) Franken**
You should make fine samples, then.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Knight**
Wait, are you the "Noble Hunter"...
**[10:38] (Flashback) Knight**
You lunatic!
**[10:45] (Flashback) Franken**
Struggling won't help you.
**[10:48] (Flashback) Franken**
Those chains were made
especially for you boys.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Franken**
How does it feel...
**[10:54] (Flashback) Franken**
to be tormented by someone
you once looked down upon?
**[10:59] (Flashback) Knight**
How can someone like you
possess such power?!
**[11:03] (Flashback) Franken**
You find it strange
**[11:05] (Flashback) Franken**
that a human such as myself has the power
that only you nobles should have?
**[11:11] (Flashback) Franken**
You really find it so strange?
**[11:18] (Flashback) Knight**
No...
**[11:20] (Flashback) Knight**
How are you so...
**[11:40] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Cadis Etrama Di Raizel.
**[11:43] (Flashback) PrevLord**
You still haven't changed your mind?
**[11:48] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Living alone in a secluded mansion
like that must be boring.
**[11:53] (Flashback) PrevLord**
You should live here.
**[11:54] (Flashback) Raizel**
I decline.
**[11:56] (Flashback) PrevLord**
I have a grand room for you.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Raizel**
I decline.
**[11:59] (Flashback) PrevLord**
And pretty maids—
**[12:00] (Flashback) Raizel**
I decline.
**[12:02] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Hedonistic feasts—
**[12:02] (Flashback) Raizel**
I decline.
**[12:05] (Flashback) PrevLord**
I see.
**[12:06] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Very well, then, if you insist.
**[12:08] (Flashback) PrevLord**
I cannot force my selfish wishes on you.
**[12:15] (Flashback) PrevLord**
But don't forget...
**[12:17] (Flashback) PrevLord**
that I am concerned about you.
**[12:21] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Pay me a visit every now and then.
**[12:33] (Flashback) PrevLord**
He left the moment the subject was closed.
**[12:36] (Flashback) PrevLord**
He's so antisocial.
**[12:37] (Flashback) Gejutel**
Lord, please watch what you say.
**[12:41] (Flashback) Gejutel**
Raizel-sama has been tasked with a unique—
**[12:43] (Flashback) PrevLord**
But the lord is still superior, correct?
**[12:46] (Flashback) Gejutel**
Lord!
**[12:48] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Well? You have business with me?
**[12:51] (Flashback) Gejutel**
I have new information
regarding the Noble Hunter
**[12:53] (Flashback) Gejutel**
that we have been investigating
for some time.
**[12:57] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Let's hear it.
**[12:59] (Flashback) Gejutel**
According to the Central Order knights
who survived the recent attack,
**[13:04] (Flashback) Gejutel**
he appeared out of nowhere
like a gust of wind,
**[13:07] (Flashback) Gejutel**
and felled knights one after another.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Gejutel**
And...
**[13:13] (Flashback) Gejutel**
without a doubt, he was human.
**[13:17] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Human?
**[13:19] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Is it possible for a human to have powers
surpassing those of nobility?
**[13:23] (Flashback) Gejutel**
I believe that he obtained
power equal to ours
**[13:26] (Flashback) Gejutel**
by some method unknown to us.
**[13:31] (Flashback) Gejutel**
To allow him to remain on the loose
any longer would prove dangerous.
**[13:35] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Hmm... Then you men should go after him.
**[13:39] (Flashback) PrevLord**
I want to meet him myself and talk to him.
**[13:42] (Flashback) Ragar**
Talk?
**[13:43] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Yes. Don't kill him.
**[13:46] (Flashback) PrevLord**
Bring him to me.
**[13:48] (Flashback) PrevLord**
I will decide what is to be done with him.
**[13:53] (Flashback) Both**
Yes, Lord.
**[14:27] (Flashback) Knight**
There's nowhere left to run.
**[14:28] (Flashback) Knight**
Come quietly with us.
**[14:31] (Flashback) Franken**
I refuse.
**[14:32] (Flashback) Knight**
Then we have no choice
but to take you by force.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Franken**
Very well, then. Take me with you...
**[14:46] (Flashback) Franken**
if you think you can!
**[14:59] (Flashback) Knight**
What?!
**[15:01] (Flashback) Franken**
My goodness.
**[15:02] (Flashback) Franken**
I didn't expect you to be so weak.
**[15:05] (Flashback) Franken**
You're not even worth using as samples.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Franken**
Die.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Franken**
Don't get arrogant, nobles.
**[15:24] (Flashback) Gejutel**
It is exactly as you say.
**[15:29] (Flashback) Gejutel**
These men seem to have overestimated
their own strength a bit.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Gejutel**
All of you, withdraw and report to the lord.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Knight**
Yes, sir!
**[15:40] (Flashback) Gejutel**
I am the head of the Landegre clan,
Gejutel K. Landegre.
**[15:45] (Flashback) Ragar**
Leader of the Kertia clan...
**[15:50] (Flashback) Ragar**
Ragar Kertia.
**[15:52] (Flashback) Franken**
My, my. What an honor it is to meet
two great clan leaders at once.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Gejutel**
You had best accompany us.
**[16:01] (Flashback) Franken**
That small fry earlier said the same thing.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Franken**
To the lord, is it?
**[16:07] (Flashback) Franken**
There's no reason to be surprised.
**[16:09] (Flashback) Franken**
Only the lord has the power
to dispatch clan leaders.
**[16:15] (Flashback) Franken**
Oddly, though, for some reason...
**[16:23] (Flashback) Franken**
I'm not in the mood.
**[16:26] (Flashback) Ragar**
Gejutel, you stay back.
**[16:30] (Flashback) Gejutel**
Ragar...
**[16:31] (Flashback) Ragar**
If anything happens to me,
**[16:33] (Flashback) Ragar**
I already have an heir ready
to inherit the Kertia clan.
**[16:37] (Flashback) Ragar**
And no matter who it is we face,
**[16:40] (Flashback) Ragar**
it should never take two
clan leaders to win a battle.
**[16:44] (Flashback) Ragar**
On my pride... here I come!
**[16:50] (Flashback) Franken**
Then how about this?!
**[17:16] (Flashback) Ragar**
What a predicament.
**[17:18] (Flashback) Ragar**
If this goes on too long, it may be
a challenge to leave him alive.
**[17:22] (Flashback) Gejutel**
Ragar, you aren't—
**[17:27] (Flashback) Ragar**
I do apologize for brandishing Kartas,
**[17:30] (Flashback) Ragar**
but I do so only because
I acknowledge your skill.
**[17:33] (Flashback) Ragar**
Do not take offense.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Franken**
So that's a soul weapon?
**[17:37] (Flashback) Ragar**
If you already know, that will save us time.
**[17:40] (Flashback) Ragar**
You should also know what it means
when a clan leader wields one.
**[17:43] (Flashback) Ragar**
I suggest you avoid any
further foolish behavior.
**[17:48] (Flashback) Franken**
Who knows when I'll be
in a position like this again?
**[17:53] (Flashback) Franken**
This is an experiment...
so let's see how far it can go!
**[17:59] (Flashback) Franken**
Resonate...
**[18:01] (Flashback) Franken**
Dark Spear!
**[18:18] (Flashback) Ragar**
Is that a soul weapon?!
**[18:20] (Flashback) Gejutel**
It feels similar, but it is not.
**[18:23] (Flashback) Franken**
You apologized for taking up your weapon,
but I won't do the same for you.
**[18:28] (Flashback) Franken**
Don't be offended.
**[18:36] (Flashback) Gejutel**
Ridiculous.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Gejutel**
How can a mere Noble Hunter possess
the intellect to call forth such an attack?
**[18:43] (Flashback) Franken**
Don't make me laugh!
**[18:44] (Flashback) Franken**
Are you saying nobles
are free to hunt humans,
**[18:47] (Flashback) Franken**
but humans aren't allowed to
do the same to nobles?!
**[18:51] (Flashback) Gejutel**
Nobles hunting humans?
What are you talking about?
**[18:58] (Flashback) Franken**
Your kind can manipulate
and control human blood.
**[19:02] (Flashback) Ragar**
Only if the subject wishes it.
**[19:05] (Flashback) Ragar**
We do not form blood pacts indiscriminately!
**[19:11] (Flashback) Franken**
Not so many nobles are really that noble.
**[19:15] (Flashback) Franken**
There are plenty of barbaric ones who
control young ladies and children for fun
**[19:19] (Flashback) Franken**
and use them to their hearts'
content, then discard them!
**[19:23] (Flashback) Gejutel**
And you intend to punish them?
**[19:26] (Flashback) Franken**
Precisely!
**[19:28] (Flashback) Franken**
With this power, I will prove that humans
aren't as weak as nobles think!
**[19:40] (Flashback) Gejutel**
He possesses this much power?
**[19:46] (Flashback) Franken**
Not now!
**[19:48] (Flashback) Gejutel**
What is this?!
**[19:49] (Flashback) Ragar**
His power is rampaging out of control!
**[19:54] (Flashback) Franken**
Damn it!
**[20:01] (Flashback) Gejutel**
It's begun to consume his soul!
**[20:03] (Flashback) Ragar**
If he loses any more control over his power,
**[20:05] (Flashback) Ragar**
he won't be able to restrain it!
**[20:07] (Flashback) Gejutel**
I have no choice.
**[20:09] (Flashback) Gejutel**
Show yourself, Regasus!
**[20:17] (Flashback) Gejutel**
This is no longer about our pride as nobles.
**[20:21] (Flashback) Ragar**
Right!
**[20:24] (Flashback) Ragar**
Let's go!
**[20:49] (Flashback) Gejutel**
He got away?
**[20:53] (Flashback) Ragar**
It would seem so.
**[20:55] (Flashback) Ragar**
Let's hurry.
**[21:08] (Flashback) Franken**
Damn it...
**[21:12] (Flashback) Franken**
I guess the Dark Spear
is still more than I can handle...
**[23:29] (Flashback) Raizel**
Those clothes...
**[23:34] (Flashback) Raizel**
are mine.
**[23:35] (Flashback) Franken**
I-I'm sorry!
