[00:05] ---
Astral power, the strange energy
that slumbers within this planet.
[00:10] ---
Its power was too strong for humanity.
[00:15] ---
Those in whom astral spirit dwell
were feared as witches or mages,
[00:20] ---
and were oppressed... by those in the Empire.
[00:30] ---
A place where many people have been harmed
by astral power--the Empire.
[00:35] ---
A paradise left to the innocent witches--
the Nebulis Sovereignty.
[00:41] ---
The fate that brought these
two nations to this point...
[00:44] ---
...is a never-ending road through war.
[00:46] ---
I'm going to bring this war to an end.
[00:52] ---
I will establish a world without persecution.
[00:56] ---
And so,
[00:58] ---
the crusade that would change
our world had begun.
[00:58] ---
"Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World"
[01:04] ---
"One year earlier"
[01:35] ---
Your armband... You're a Saint Disciple?
[01:43] ---
Why would a Saint Disciple...?
[01:46] ---
Quickly. We have to run.
[01:56] ---
Here. It's not much, but...
[02:00] ---
Now, go on.
[02:20] ---
Raise your head.
[02:23] ---
Prisoner Iska, age 16.
[02:26] ---
You were the youngest in history to be
granted the title of the Saint Disciple.
[02:29] ---
However, a year ago, you were sentenced
for breaking out an imprisoned witch.
[02:36] ---
This led to your demotion
as the Saint Disciple.
[02:39] ---
Is this correct?
[02:41] ---
Yes.
[02:42] ---
As of today, you are released.
[02:46] ---
Considering our nation has been at war
with the witches for 100 years,
[02:49] ---
your action is of a great crime.
[02:53] ---
However, we are providing you
with an opportunity to make amends.
[02:57] ---
You are given a mission. Our longtime enemies
now call themselves astral mages.
[03:03] ---
You will be taking down a witch.
[03:06] ---
Not just any witch.
[03:08] ---
She is "purebred," the direct descendant
of the Grand Witch Nebulis.
[03:11] ---
In the past, the Grand Witch Nebulis
has turned our Empire into a sea of flames.
[03:16] ---
Those descendants are called "purebreds,"
[03:19] ---
and as you know, possess strong astral spirits.
[03:22] ---
Yes, I have been in many battles with them.
[03:26] ---
Your target is one of the most powerful.
The "Ice Calamity Witch."
[03:32] ---
The Ice Calamity Witch...
[03:37] ---
Successor of the Black Steel, Iska.
[03:40] ---
From this moment forward, you are free.
[03:43] ---
We will provide you with a transit vehicle
to the frontlines in 17 hours.
[03:47] ---
Anything you need, we will provide.
[03:52] ---
There are three members
I would like on my unit.
[03:59] ---
"Powder Base"
[03:59] ---
Nene, where should we sit?
[04:02] ---
Nene, we haven't gotten the food we ordered yet.
[04:06] ---
Nene!
[04:07] ---
Okay, okay!
[04:11] ---
I'm coming!
[04:17] ---
Come on in!
[04:23] ---
Jhin?!
[04:25] ---
I'm glad you're here!
Did you come to see me?
[04:28] ---
We just saw each other not long ago.
[04:31] ---
He's been discharged. He's back
at the dorm, hurrying to get ready.
[04:37] ---
Wait, you're not saying...?
[04:39] ---
We depart tomorrow morning at zero hour.
[04:41] ---
We're heading for the front in a transport.
[04:43] ---
A transport? The front?
[04:53] ---
It was the same as the morning sun,
[04:55] ---
but it's been a year since I've seen
the stars in the sky like this, too.
[05:00] ---
It's four minutes and 30 seconds to muster.
[05:04] ---
Jhin! Thanks for your help contacting
everyone this afternoon.
[05:08] ---
I'm used to your short notice.
[05:18] ---
Iska, congrats on your release!
[05:23] ---
Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!
[05:25] ---
Nene, you don't have to jump for joy.
[05:29] ---
Ah, looks like the captain is here!
[05:31] ---
Hey, Captain!
[05:34] ---
G-G-Guys!
[05:38] ---
I'm sorry I'm late!
[05:44] ---
Ah, she fell down.
[05:45] ---
Same old Captain.
[05:50] ---
Ah, it's Iska!
[05:53] ---
It's been an awfully long time.
You've grown a little taller, haven't you?
[05:57] ---
She's just going to ignore falling down...
[05:58] ---
Have I?
[06:00] ---
I guess a girl like me is no match
when it comes to growing tall.
[06:04] ---
What do you mean, "girl"?
You're well past that age.
[06:07] ---
Wh-What are you talking about, Jhin?!
I'm still 22!
[06:14] ---
Still, I'm delighted.
[06:15] ---
Iska is ever the nice, sweet boy,
[06:18] ---
while Nene has grown
even more cute and pretty.
[06:21] ---
And today, at least, Jhin's sharp tongue
brings back good memories.
[06:24] ---
Hey, hold on...
[06:25] ---
Anyhow, Special Defense for Humankind
Third Division, Unit N07,
[06:30] ---
is back together for the first time in a year!
[06:37] ---
All right, off we go!
[06:43] ---
Okay then, what kind of mission is this?
[06:47] ---
Witch suppression.
That's all our unit ever does, right?
[06:51] ---
What's more, our target on this one
[06:53] ---
is a direct descendant
of the Grand Witch Nebulis--a purebred.
[06:57] ---
A purebred?!
[06:58] ---
Boss, you've heard of
the Ice Calamity Witch, right?
[07:01] ---
The Ice Calamity Witch?!
[07:03] ---
I-Iska, is this true?
[07:06] ---
Yes. Apparently, the reason I was released
[07:09] ---
was so we could capture this astral mage.
[07:12] ---
Oh, man. Iska, you've been set up
by the Eight Great Apostles.
[07:17] ---
How do you mean?
[07:19] ---
She first appeared on the northern front
in Yubel, I believe.
[07:23] ---
I hear she broke through the line
and made it back all by herself.
[07:27] ---
In light of her military record since then,
[07:29] ---
some people say that she's the most
powerful astral mage in history.
[07:32] ---
Yeah. But she doesn't know about
our soldier, Iska, either.
[07:36] ---
For better or worse, the Nebulis Sovereignty
has no intel on you either.
[07:41] ---
In their view, you are someone
completely unexpected.
[07:44] ---
That's right! Iska was imprisoned
right after he became a Saint Disciple.
[07:49] ---
Right. Which means...
[07:51] ---
...their guard will be down?
[07:52] ---
That's what the bigwigs are probably thinking.
[07:55] ---
That being said, they're turning to you now
after throwing you in prison,
[07:59] ---
so even they must be at
a complete loss as to what to do.
[08:02] ---
The Ice Calamity Witch, huh?
[08:05] ---
Iska, are you really going
to carry out this mission?
[08:08] ---
Of course. This is my big chance, after all.
[08:12] ---
If you fail this mission, you'll be...
[08:14] ---
I'm trying not to think about that.
[08:17] ---
I'd like to put a stop to this hopeless war.
[08:21] ---
That's all I've thought about, both now...
[08:25] ---
...and a year ago.
[08:34] ---
This weapons reactor is brand new, isn't it?
[08:37] ---
I believe so.
[08:38] ---
I wonder why.
[08:40] ---
They have such a large reactor,
but so few troops deployed here.
[08:44] ---
Ah, that's likely--
[08:45] ---
I'm back!
[08:46] ---
Whoa, you startled me.
Nene, don't surprise me like that.
[08:51] ---
I'm all finished checking the transport back in.
[08:54] ---
I also spotted the commanding officer
in that tent over there.
[08:57] ---
Word is that this reactor isn't yet finished.
[09:00] ---
Since there have been a lot of
astral mages strikes lately,
[09:03] ---
their manpower is busy defending
the front instead of finishing up here.
[09:07] ---
I figured. That's the reason why
there are so few people here, too.
[09:10] ---
I thought it was strange. It's shuddering
too much while it's running,
[09:16] ---
and there's a lot of rumble
in its operating hum.
[09:19] ---
Wow, that's our Nene for you!
Such a first-rate engineer!
[09:22] ---
Also, check out the color and smell
of the steam from the exhaust vent!
[09:26] ---
The pressure unit is running,
[09:28] ---
but the control ring is just about
at its threshold--
[09:29] ---
It's a vicious cycle.
[09:31] ---
The Empire builds a reactor.
[09:33] ---
Then the Sovereignty launches
a strike to destroy it.
[09:36] ---
So we build more weapons.
[09:38] ---
After repeating the cycle for a hundred years,
this is the world we have.
[09:42] ---
That's what Master would always regurgitate.
[09:45] ---
Whatever triggered this war,
[09:47] ---
the reasons that keep dragging it on
now are emotionally charged.
[09:51] ---
After coming this far, logic won't stop it.
[09:54] ---
Not unless someone forcibly puts an end to it,
even if it means being hated.
[09:59] ---
Puts an end to it, huh?
[10:01] ---
The peace talks that a certain someone
is thinking is one option--
[10:05] ---
whether it would work or not
is a separate matter.
[10:13] ---
Okay, acknowledged.
[10:16] ---
What is it?
[10:17] ---
That was a unit at the front.
[10:18] ---
They said they aren't engaging
any astral power forces at the moment.
[10:22] ---
They're expecting our rendezvous.
[10:27] ---
Nene, d-drive more safely!
[10:31] ---
It's all right, it's all right.
[10:33] ---
I could drive one of these
with one eye closed, no problem.
[10:35] ---
I'm begging you, please keep your eyes open!
[10:38] ---
Jump!
[10:38] ---
Jump!
[10:39] ---
H-Huh?
[10:40] ---
Captain, hold on to me!
[10:50] ---
Was that a Nebulis astral power force?
[10:52] ---
No way! This is still Imperial territory!
[10:55] ---
They broke through our front-line defenses.
[10:57] ---
There's probably a powerful astral mage around.
[10:59] ---
Incoming message.
[11:00] ---
It's a general request for backup from
the Nelka force communications team.
[11:05] ---
No time to waste, is there?
We still have our sneak attack,
[11:08] ---
but there's a battalion of astral mages
closing in at a furious pace.
[11:11] ---
Jhin, behind you!
[11:27] ---
He just cut through my astral spirit's flames?
[11:29] ---
T-Two astral mages! Everyone, watch yourselves!
[11:32] ---
We know. And don't shout out orders like that.
[11:35] ---
They'll know in a second who the boss is.
[11:37] ---
Just worry about yourself instead.
[11:39] ---
I don't need your backtalk, either!
[11:41] ---
Then stand back.
[11:46] ---
Wind astral mages.
[11:54] ---
When did they...?!
[11:56] ---
I guess there's no presence to detect
when they burrow underground.
[12:00] ---
That's a large-scale spell.
They have a fairly powerful astral mage.
[12:04] ---
How can you two be so calm?!
[12:06] ---
Because we anticipated
something like this happening.
[12:08] ---
Iska, can you cut through them all?
[12:10] ---
Once I get my intuition back.
Right now, it would be a bit difficult.
[12:14] ---
Which means,
[12:15] ---
I'll need to ask for your help, Nene.
[12:18] ---
Roger that!
[12:20] ---
Anti-astral-power flares... deploy!
[12:35] ---
You take the right.
[12:40] ---
Astral spirit of raging inferno...!
[12:46] ---
Burst forth!
[12:57] ---
You jumped out of range?
[12:59] ---
There's no way you could do that!
[13:03] ---
That's what the training I underwent was for.
[13:10] ---
Jhin, how are you coming along?
[13:11] ---
All done.
[13:13] ---
Amazing. Jhin and Iska,
you never fail to impress.
[13:18] ---
A year ago, we might've left everything
to Iska and gone on ahead without him.
[13:23] ---
You're an anti-war berserker, was it?
[13:30] ---
Earth astral power?
[13:32] ---
A golem. And one that can
generate quickly, too.
[13:37] ---
How peculiar. You dealt with that unit
before I even arrived?
[13:42] ---
By all appearances,
you're just an ordinary squad.
[13:45] ---
Come to life.
[13:56] ---
Captain, I'll take care of this.
[13:58] ---
Please take Jhin and Nene
and go offer some support.
[14:01] ---
Huh? But...
[14:03] ---
We'll spend just as much time
with all four of us being here.
[14:06] ---
All right. Be careful!
[14:14] ---
It regenerated?
[14:22] ---
You sliced through my astral arts?
Are you a Saint Disciple?!
[14:25] ---
I have no intention of answering that.
[14:26] ---
But I will if you tell me where the astral
mage called the Ice Calamity Witch is.
[14:31] ---
Silence, you grunt! I will not allow you
to even look upon her!
[14:36] ---
I suppose you wouldn't. But I have business
with the Ice Calamity Witch!
[14:40] ---
You can forget it!
[14:50] ---
Too slow.
[14:51] ---
Who the hell are you?
[14:53] ---
Where is the Ice Calamity Witch?
[14:55] ---
Kill me. We astral mages will
have nothing to do with Imperial dogs.
[15:00] ---
We're prepared to choose death
rather than become your prisoners.
[15:07] ---
Did you think threatening me
with your sword would rattle me?
[15:10] ---
I'm up for close-quarters combat, too.
[15:12] ---
Away with you!
[15:15] ---
I-Impossible...
[15:24] ---
Lady Alice...
[15:26] ---
Alice? Don't tell me you're
the Ice Calamity...
[15:29] ---
Yes.
[15:36] ---
That is my name.
[15:39] ---
Let me prove it. You can experience it yourself.
[15:44] ---
Great Ice Calamity.
[15:58] ---
Rin, are you all right?
[16:00] ---
Lady Alice.
[16:05] ---
You're joking...
[16:07] ---
Please be careful.
[16:08] ---
That man's sword can slice through
and block astral arts.
[16:12] ---
Thank you, Rin. You did well to stall him.
[16:16] ---
Stall?
[16:21] ---
The reactor!
[16:23] ---
Shatter away.
[16:27] ---
So this was your plan all along?
[16:29] ---
Who are you?
[16:31] ---
How could someone who's not
a Saint Disciple overpower Rin?
[16:34] ---
I'm here to capture you.
[16:36] ---
Who do you think you're talking to?
[16:38] ---
If you don't want to feel an icy pain
that is far worse than death, then...
[16:43] ---
Surrender.
[16:45] ---
Swordsman of the Empire, what is your name?
[16:49] ---
Iska. And yours?
[16:51] ---
Aliceliese Lou Nebulis IX.
[16:53] ---
And you already know
[16:56] ---
that I am the astral mage you Imperials
call the "Ice Calamity Witch."
[17:06] ---
Walls, crush forward!
[17:11] ---
Ice Calamity: Thousand Thorn Blizzard!
[17:17] ---
Pierce through!
[17:29] ---
That's the best you can do?
[17:31] ---
No...
[17:33] ---
Awaken.
[17:40] ---
He can use the same astral art
as Lady Alice?! Who are you?!
[17:44] ---
This is the astral swords' power, not mine.
[17:50] ---
Ice Blossom.
[17:55] ---
It's an impenetrable shield. You should give up.
[17:58] ---
Give up?
[18:00] ---
If I give up here,
who'll put a stop to this war?!
[18:10] ---
Vines!
[18:21] ---
Lady Alice stepped back?
[18:24] ---
So persistent. Surrender or fall!
[18:26] ---
Why don't you retreat instead?!
[18:28] ---
I will not retreat until I defeat
the Empire and unite the world.
[18:32] ---
Unite the world?
[18:34] ---
An everlasting peace.
No invasion, no persecution...
[18:37] ---
That is what I,
heir to the Nebulis Sovereignty, Aliceliese--
[18:52] ---
Y-You okay?
[18:55] ---
Y-Yes, thank you.
[19:03] ---
Wait, wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-what
do you think you're doing?!
[19:07] ---
It was reflex...
[19:08] ---
Iska!
[19:14] ---
Rin, we shall retreat.
[19:16] ---
B-But Lady Alice?!
[19:23] ---
Iska, was it? Do not think
you will get so lucky next time.
[19:36] ---
Iska!
[19:39] ---
I'm so glad you're safe!
[19:41] ---
You had me worried!
[19:44] ---
Are you okay? Are you injured?
[19:47] ---
Hugging a possibly injured subordinate
might not be a good idea...
[19:50] ---
Oh, sorry!
[19:52] ---
Hey, Jhin. Is this really from an astral art?
[19:56] ---
The rumors were true. Looks like she's
an extraordinary astral mage.
[20:00] ---
The ice made it all the way near
our rendezvous point on the frontlines.
[20:20] ---
Lady Alice, have you been
bathing this whole time?
[20:24] ---
Let's get out of the bath.
[20:38] ---
If I give up here,
who'll put a stop to this war?!
[20:48] ---
Ugh, this isn't doing me any good!
[20:50] ---
I need a change of scenery!
[20:53] ---
Lady Alice?
[20:58] ---
Hey, Rin, look.
[21:00] ---
"Tragic love of female knight Beatrix."
[21:04] ---
You want to go to the opera house
in Neutral City again?
[21:11] ---
Good bye, Beatrix. I cannot be with you.
[21:11] ---
Oh, Beatrix! To fall in love
with an enemy knight...
[21:16] ---
A forbidden love that will never bear fruit,
no matter how strong the love.
[21:16] ---
Good bye, Azel.
[21:20] ---
When we meet again, it will not be in
a church like tonight, but on a battlefield.
[21:20] ---
How can there be such pained love?
[21:23] ---
Azel, you're such an idiot... How could you...
[21:27] ---
Shhh, please keep it down.
[21:29] ---
Where is your handkerchief?
[21:31] ---
It's already soaking wet.
[21:35] ---
Um, why don't you take this?
[21:37] ---
Huh? Thank you so much.
[21:52] ---
Um, I apologize for getting
your handkerchief wet.
[21:55] ---
I would like to pay for it.
[21:57] ---
Oh no, please don't worry.
[22:00] ---
It's just a cheap handker--
[22:07] ---
Huh?
[22:10] ---

[00:16] ---
I can't sleep at all.
[00:39] ---
"Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World"
[01:51] ---
Iska, how are you feeling?
[01:53] ---
I'm fine.
[01:55] ---
It's just that... I have difficulty sleeping.
[01:58] ---
You know, there's not much
I often get to do for you as a captain...
[02:02] ---
So I always try to be there
if my team needs to talk.
[02:07] ---
See, I knew it!
[02:08] ---
I knew you had that look on your face
like something was off!
[02:12] ---
What...? Do I?
[02:14] ---
Yeah, you do!
[02:16] ---
Go on, spill your guts to me!
[02:19] ---
I can't stop thinking about that battle.
[02:22] ---
The battle that ended in a tie?
[02:26] ---
Maybe it left an emotional scar inside you.
[02:29] ---
Like trauma?
[02:31] ---
Yeah... After going through a fierce battle,
[02:34] ---
you could be psychologically hurt
from your injury and fear.
[02:38] ---
After fighting against the Ice Calamity Witch,
it's not at all surprising.
[02:44] ---
Oh, and also...
[02:45] ---
Also?
[02:47] ---
Uh...
[02:49] ---
No, never mind.
[02:51] ---
Hmm... I wonder what you can do to fix this?
[02:55] ---
When something's bothering me, barbeque
and a good night's sleep perks me up.
[03:01] ---
I'm not sure if I'm up for that...
[03:04] ---
A change in scenery would actually be good.
[03:09] ---
I know!
[03:14] ---
It's a little messy, but come in!
[03:17] ---
Your stuffed animal collection has grown.
[03:21] ---
Right? They're so cute.
[03:22] ---
They are.
[03:24] ---
Um...
[03:26] ---
But, uh, that's something...
[03:29] ---
...I shouldn't be seeing...
[03:30] ---
No!
[03:33] ---
A-Ahem.
[03:35] ---
Anyway, nothing good will come out
of being cooped up inside.
[03:39] ---
What you need is to go out!
[03:42] ---
A ticket to the opera?
[03:44] ---
It's a play called Tragic Love
of Female Knight Beatrix.
[03:47] ---
They perform it in the Neutral city every year.
[03:49] ---
I love this opera, so I bought season
tickets and have used 9 out of 10,
[03:54] ---
but you take the last one, Iska!
[03:56] ---
What? But when would I go?
[03:59] ---
Before the next mission!
[04:01] ---
Why not tomorrow?
[04:03] ---
Tomorrow...
[04:04] ---
This is captain's order, got it?!
[04:15] ---
Never let go of them. Those swords
are our only hope of restoring this world.
[04:26] ---
Iska, we're almost in Ein.
[04:29] ---
What? Already?
[04:30] ---
Well, you were fast asleep
no matter how much I talked to you.
[04:35] ---
Sorry.
[04:36] ---
It's been a while since I
had a dream about Master.
[04:39] ---
It was about me and Jhin going
through some intense training...
[04:42] ---
More like a nightmare, really.
[04:44] ---
Brings back memories.
[04:45] ---
You haven't dreamt about
Master Cro in forever, right?
[04:49] ---
It's probably because I haven't used
my astral swords in a while.
[04:58] ---
Good bye, Beatrix. I cannot be with you.
[05:03] ---
Good bye, Azel.
[05:05] ---
When we meet again, it will not be in
a church like tonight, but on a battlefield.
[05:10] ---
Azel, you're such an idiot... How could you...
[05:15] ---
Shhh, please keep it down.
[05:17] ---
Where is your handkerchief?
[05:19] ---
It's already soaking wet.
[05:21] ---
You're crying too much.
[05:23] ---
Seems the girl in front of me
is easily moved to tears.
[05:26] ---
I can't focus on the play.
[05:29] ---
Um, why don't you take this?
[05:32] ---
Thank you so much.
[05:42] ---
Um, I apologize for getting
your handkerchief wet.
[05:46] ---
I would like to pay for it.
[05:48] ---
Oh no, please don't worry.
[05:51] ---
It's just a cheap handker--
[05:56] ---
Huh?
[05:57] ---
Wh-Wh-Wh-Why are you here?!
[06:01] ---
Did you follow me here?!
[06:03] ---
Fine, we'll finish this once and--
[06:06] ---
Lady Alice! You must not!
[06:08] ---
This is the Neutral city!
[06:09] ---
What's going on?
[06:10] ---
Any conflict in this city
is strictly prohibited.
[06:13] ---
I know that.
[06:16] ---
If I attack him now, all Neutral cities
would turn against us.
[06:20] ---
That would be catastrophic.
[06:22] ---
But I can't believe I was
sitting in front of you.
[06:25] ---
No wonder I felt unsettled.
[06:27] ---
But you were so focused on the play,
crying your eyes out...
[06:31] ---
Huh?! Th-This is just sweat from my eyes!
[06:34] ---
You will forget what you saw here today! Okay?!
[06:37] ---
Lady Alice, you'll draw attention
if you raise your voice.
[06:42] ---
Oh, fine. We will retreat for today.
[06:45] ---
Good day, Iska.
[06:47] ---
Uh, right. Thank you.
[06:52] ---
Lady Alice.
[06:54] ---
I-It's not what you think, Rin!
It was just a force of habit!
[06:58] ---
I thought my heart was going to stop.
[07:01] ---
You took the words right out of my mouth.
[07:03] ---
I was afraid you were going to start a war.
[07:06] ---
He's not following us, right?
[07:08] ---
Right. That swordsman did not take
a step until we left the hall.
[07:15] ---
I still can't believe he sat right behind us.
[07:19] ---
We should have considered the possibility.
[07:21] ---
R-Right...
[07:24] ---
Let's just forget about this
and go have our meal.
[07:26] ---
There's supposed to be
a famous pasta place around here.
[07:30] ---
I'm sorry, but all the tables are taken.
[07:33] ---
If you don't mind sharing
a booked table with someone,
[07:35] ---
I can seat you right away.
[07:38] ---
That's fine.
[07:45] ---
Follow me, please.
[07:48] ---
Thanks.
[07:50] ---
Wha...?!
[07:51] ---
What was that for?!
[07:53] ---
Th-That's my--
[07:56] ---
Th-The water went down the wrong pipe...
[07:58] ---
Lady Alice...
[08:00] ---
How dare you ambush us!
[08:01] ---
Y-You've got it wrong!
[08:03] ---
Then why are you here?!
[08:05] ---
Because it's the closest restaurant
to the opera house...
[08:08] ---
And a popular one at that.
[08:10] ---
Besides, I had a reservation!
[08:15] ---
What do you think, Lady Alice?
[08:17] ---
He does have a point.
[08:19] ---
But don't let your guard down, Rin.
Stay sharp.
[08:22] ---
You realize I'm right here
and I can hear you?
[08:30] ---
Lady Alice, are you sure?
[08:33] ---
We may be in the Neutral city, but to dine
together with an Imperial soldier...
[08:37] ---
But it'll look like I ran away scared
if I leave now.
[08:41] ---
Th-That's true.
[08:42] ---
Anyway, let's eat--
[08:45] ---
M-My apologies.
[08:47] ---
Uhh, sorry, that was my fault...
[08:50] ---
Please, go ahead.
[08:52] ---
It's fine, you may go first.
[08:54] ---
I can wait.
[08:56] ---
You reached out for it.
[08:57] ---
Then let's do this.
[09:07] ---
Um...
[09:08] ---
Wh-What is it?
[09:10] ---
Do you know what you want?
[09:13] ---
Yes. Excuse me?
[09:16] ---
Coming!
[09:19] ---
Salmon and zucchini pasta with heavy cream.
[09:22] ---
Cooked ben cotta and light on the pasta.
[09:24] ---
I'll have tea with one sugar cube
after the meal, please.
[09:28] ---
Huh?
[09:30] ---
My, you two are in sync.
[09:32] ---
Do you know each--?
[09:33] ---
No!
[09:38] ---
Do you like pasta?
[09:41] ---
Me?
[09:42] ---
Who else would I be talking to?
[09:44] ---
I do. It's probably my favorite.
[09:47] ---
I like it with a creamy sauce like this,
[09:50] ---
but it's also good with a dash of ground pepper.
[09:53] ---
Oh, you know what you're talking about.
[09:56] ---
It's simple yet delicious.
[09:58] ---
But when it's this hot outside,
cold pasta is another good option.
[10:03] ---
Oh, right! Cold pasta is great.
[10:06] ---
If I see cherry tomatoes at the market,
I always make them.
[10:09] ---
I know! Cold tomato pasta is delicious!
[10:13] ---
I could eat it all summer--
[10:15] ---
Lady Alice.
[10:17] ---
It seems you've stopped eating.
[10:21] ---
I'm sorry, I interrupted your meal.
[10:24] ---
I-I'm sorry, too.
[10:28] ---
Also, pasta should always be cooked to al dente.
[10:31] ---
Such amateurs.
[10:33] ---
Ben cotta is the best!
[10:41] ---
Please keep today's events
to yourself, Lady Alice.
[10:45] ---
Normally, I should be reporting this
to Her Majesty.
[10:49] ---
We may not have fought, but we still
came across an enemy soldier.
[10:53] ---
I know that.
[10:57] ---
That's the enemy's personal item.
No reason to keep it.
[11:01] ---
But...
[11:02] ---
That swordsman is a monster.
[11:04] ---
He may become your biggest obstacle one day.
[11:10] ---
But Rin, you're to blame, too.
[11:13] ---
How do you mean?
[11:15] ---
Because you made a comment about pasta
having to be cooked to al dente,
[11:20] ---
Iska and I kind of formed this weird alliance...
[11:23] ---
I merely stated a fact.
[11:26] ---
Al dente is pasta at its very best.
[11:28] ---
No one should deny that.
[11:30] ---
So hardheaded!
[11:49] ---
Jeez, why is it so hard to fall asleep?!
[12:41] ---
Water... I need water!
[12:45] ---
So drink some. This training requires us
to run the distance while hydrating.
[12:49] ---
I already drank all of mine.
[12:52] ---
Jhin, let me just get a sip of yours!
[12:57] ---
You'll bloat.
[12:58] ---
Jhin, you're such a meanie!
[13:01] ---
Hiya!
[13:05] ---
O-Oh, it's just you, Risya.
[13:08] ---
Issy, Nens, Jhin-Jhin! It's been a year!
[13:12] ---
Risya, you're the Special Defense for
Humankind HQ's special counsel, right?
[13:17] ---
That's amazing.
[13:19] ---
It's not that big of a deal.
[13:20] ---
So, what kind of trouble
have you brought for us today?
[13:24] ---
Well, Mismis' unit will be under
my command for this next mission.
[13:30] ---
Aww...
[13:32] ---
What, don't like it?
[13:34] ---
It's just that... you're too smart, Risya.
[13:37] ---
I'm not sure if I'll understand
your strategies...
[13:40] ---
You'll be fine.
[13:42] ---
I reviewed your reports
of the engagement in Nelka.
[13:45] ---
I could tell everyone's intuitions
are still sharp.
[13:50] ---
Though, I heard you're
having trouble sleeping, Issy?
[13:55] ---
Just a little.
[13:57] ---
Were you not able to enjoy the opera?
[13:59] ---
Oh no, it was great. Thank you very much.
[14:03] ---
Tragic love stories like that
are good from time to time!
[14:05] ---
Even though Risya says it's boring...
[14:08] ---
I'm the type of person who
doesn't understand art and stuff.
[14:13] ---
Speaking of... Issy, you want this?
[14:18] ---
Salil Viblanc's art exhibition?
[14:20] ---
I won this from a subordinate in a game,
but I don't care for these things.
[14:25] ---
So take it, Issy.
[14:28] ---
Ein, huh?
[14:38] ---
I apologize for being late, Mother.
[14:41] ---
Alice, the other day, you mentioned
you fought against an Imperial swordsman.
[14:47] ---
That he was as strong as the Saint Disciples.
[14:50] ---
Yes.
[14:52] ---
The Saint Disciples protect the Emperor
and are the strongest in the Empire.
[14:57] ---
And you are saying he is on par with them.
[15:00] ---
Mother? Is something wrong?
[15:04] ---
Look above.
[15:07] ---
One hundred years ago,
[15:08] ---
the Founder fought against tens of
thousands of Imperial Army soldiers.
[15:14] ---
She still lives.
[15:17] ---
The Founder had a younger twin sister.
[15:20] ---
She was none other than Nebulis I.
[15:23] ---
The royal bloodline starts with her.
She is our ancestor.
[15:29] ---
Of course, the Empire never knew
that the "Grand Witch,"
[15:33] ---
as they fearfully called her, had a sister.
[15:36] ---
Hence, they rejoiced over the "Grand Witch's"
death when Nebulis I passed away.
[15:45] ---
The bind on the Founder is weakening.
[15:49] ---
We saw this change in the Founder when,
[15:52] ---
Alice, you fought against the swordsman
of the Empire in the Nelka forest.
[15:59] ---
What does that mean?
[16:01] ---
Astral power reacts when its host is in danger.
[16:05] ---
Long ago, when the Imperial Army
reached the Sovereignty,
[16:09] ---
there were many recordings of
astral powers reacting at once.
[16:14] ---
The same is true for the Founder's astral power.
[16:17] ---
Like a sign of her awakening.
[16:20] ---
Alice, does anything come to mind?
[16:25] ---
Awaken.
[16:30] ---
Many mysteries remain in regard
to the Founder's astral power.
[16:35] ---
I will have the Astral Institution
quickly look into this, but...
[16:38] ---
Alice, you shall refrain
from going to the battlefield.
[16:42] ---
At least until we know who
this Imperial swordsman is.
[16:45] ---
Understood.
[16:51] ---
Lady Alice, is something the matter?
[16:55] ---
N-No.
[16:57] ---
I'll try to not overthink things.
[17:00] ---
I've been having trouble sleeping,
so I need a change in scenery.
[17:04] ---
Not the Neutral city again?
[17:07] ---
If something like the other day happens again...
[17:09] ---
That was just a coincidence.
To be safe, I won't go to the opera this time.
[17:14] ---
This time, I should actually enjoy my break.
[17:17] ---
Then where to?
[17:20] ---
Oh my god.
[17:23] ---
Why are you here again?!
[17:25] ---
Alice? Why are you here?
[17:28] ---
Even the art exhibit we're going to is the same?
[17:31] ---
Why would an Imperial soldier
come to Neutral city this often?
[17:35] ---
Whatever happened to your duty
to protect the Empire?!
[17:38] ---
Let me just point out that Viblanc is
an impressionist artist of the Empire,
[17:42] ---
and that it isn't weird for me
to come see his art.
[17:45] ---
But should you be enjoying the art
of an Imperial artist?
[17:47] ---
Art has no borders.
[17:50] ---
That's true.
[17:52] ---
I think the art museum is this way.
Should we go?
[17:56] ---
All right.
[17:58] ---
Wait, no!
[17:59] ---
I'll go this way.
[18:02] ---
Hey, wait, Alice.
[18:13] ---
Ugh, jeez...
[18:14] ---
Just because it's the city of art
[18:17] ---
doesn't mean they just have
to clean up the main streets.
[18:23] ---
Rin... Help me...
[18:26] ---
I think I'm lost...
[18:42] ---
Alice?
[18:44] ---
Why are you here?! You're supposed
to be at the art museum!
[18:48] ---
I already saw most of it.
[18:50] ---
But I didn't see you around,
so I thought maybe you got lost.
[18:56] ---
I can take you.
[18:57] ---
W-We can't!
[18:59] ---
I'm the princess of the Nebulis Sovereignty,
[19:01] ---
and you're a swordsman of the Empire!
[19:04] ---
So you're a princess?
[19:06] ---
Well, I figured you might be.
[19:10] ---
There's no reason to hide it from you now.
[19:13] ---
Anyway, my point is we're enemies.
[19:16] ---
Of course it's inappropriate
to go to the art museum together.
[19:19] ---
We're enemies, but art has no borders.
[19:22] ---
Those were your words, Alice.
[19:34] ---
I wanted to see this piece.
[19:42] ---
Iska.
[19:43] ---
Yeah?
[19:44] ---
Why do you like this artist?
[19:48] ---
The paint right here is a little raised.
[19:52] ---
This is just my imagination,
[19:54] ---
but I think he paused when he tried
to add paint with a painting knife.
[19:59] ---
And here, he repainted it with
a completely different shade.
[20:03] ---
It makes me wonder if the image in his head
changes while he's painting.
[20:08] ---
Needing to paint in stronger colors,
with more passion...
[20:12] ---
This artist, Viblanc, only paints landscapes.
Cities, streets, boating docks...
[20:19] ---
And he never draws people in them.
[20:21] ---
The subject he draws is inorganic
and his colors are dark, but...
[20:26] ---
He's very passionate?
[20:28] ---
Right. I can see his personality
through his art,
[20:32] ---
and I think that's what I like about it.
[20:34] ---
I get it. I feel the same--
[20:41] ---
Here, for showing me the way.
[20:44] ---
You don't need to do that.
[20:46] ---
I don't want to owe you. Especially you.
[20:49] ---
It wasn't a big deal.
[20:52] ---
I have my own money...
[20:55] ---
What is it?
[20:56] ---
Maybe I don't have enough money.
[20:59] ---
You're so silly.
[21:01] ---
I'm saying you can have it.
[21:04] ---
Don't worry about it.
[21:06] ---
So, how old are you anyway?
[21:09] ---
I'm 16.
[21:10] ---
Then I'm older than you.
[21:21] ---
What was I--?
[21:40] ---
We're enemies, you know?
[21:43] ---
If I... If I wanted to,
in your current state, I could...
[21:53] ---
"Encounter: The Enemy You and I Met Was..."
[23:28] ---
That is all for today's deliberation.
[23:32] ---
We will reinstate the Successor of the
Black Steel, Iska, back to Saint Disciple
[23:37] ---
under the condition that he captures
the Ice Calamity Witch.

[00:10] ---
Captain Mismis.
[00:12] ---
Huh?
[00:13] ---
Here, I bought you the soda pop
you like so much.
[00:17] ---
Yay! Ginger ale!
[00:20] ---
Here you go, Nene and Jhin.
[00:23] ---
Let's take a little break.
[00:24] ---
Well, isn't this a treat? Not canned,
but bottled drinks?
[00:28] ---
Huh?
[00:31] ---
Oh, I didn't even think about it.
[00:35] ---
Hey-yo!
[00:37] ---
Mismis, where are you at?
[00:40] ---
Risya?
[00:41] ---
How's it going?
[00:42] ---
You're not whining about the many
materials to memorize, are you?
[00:46] ---
Uh...
[00:47] ---
Anyway, Issy.
[00:50] ---
Would you mind coming over?
[00:53] ---
To your place, Risya?
[00:55] ---
Nope. To Imperial Senate.
[01:20] ---
"Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World"
[02:31] ---
So, Successor of the Black Steel.
[02:31] ---
"Encounter: Successor of the Black Steel
and the Ice Calamity Witch"
[02:35] ---
We reviewed your report.
[02:37] ---
You fought against the Ice Calamity Witch
and held her off.
[02:40] ---
You truly are a gem.
[02:42] ---
But I failed to protect the reactor.
[02:45] ---
The mission we gave you was
to stop the Ice Calamity Witch.
[02:49] ---
Not to protect the reactor.
[02:52] ---
The Empire has the fighting power
to go against the Ice Calamity Witch.
[02:56] ---
That knowledge alone is a
remarkable military achievement.
[03:00] ---
So much so that the reinstation
as a Saint Disciple is up in the air.
[03:04] ---
Saint Disciple...
[03:05] ---
We also understand your determination
towards attaining peace.
[03:09] ---
As a Saint Disciple, you could gain
an audience with His Excellency.
[03:13] ---
However, you are a well-known
criminal within the Empire.
[03:19] ---
Therefore, we are offering you a new condition.
[03:22] ---
Apprehend the Ice Calamity Witch.
[03:28] ---
We are counting on you.
[03:38] ---
Why do you like this artist?
[03:41] ---
So how old are you, anyway?
[03:44] ---
Then I'm older than you.
[03:52] ---
You want to skip tomorrow's training session?
[03:55] ---
Are you not feeling well?
[03:56] ---
I have something to do in Neutral city.
[03:59] ---
Huh? But you just went to the art exhibition
with Risya's ticket, right?
[04:04] ---
I'm not going there to see something.
[04:06] ---
There's somebody I'd like to speak to.
[04:09] ---
And that's why you want to skip the training.
[04:11] ---
Yes. Could you do that?
[04:14] ---
I guess I can't say no if you
feel that strongly about it.
[04:19] ---
Thank you.
[04:21] ---
Under one condition...
I'm going with you tomorrow.
[04:25] ---
What?
[04:26] ---
Look at the window.
[04:29] ---
I bet you looked strained right now.
[04:33] ---
See? I can't let a team member
in that condition go alone.
[04:37] ---
Not in good conscious, as a captain.
[04:42] ---
I understand. Then please come with me.
[04:45] ---
Of course!
[05:04] ---
Don't get the wrong idea.
[05:06] ---
This is to repay you for showing me
the way to the museum.
[05:10] ---
That's all it is.
[05:16] ---
Lady Alice.
[05:18] ---
I have the dossier on that Imperial swordsman.
[05:23] ---
Who is he?
[05:24] ---
A Saint Disciple.
[05:25] ---
Saint Disciple?!
[05:27] ---
He was apparently the youngest
in history to be promoted.
[05:31] ---
No doubt he's one of the most talented
swordsmen the Empire has ever had.
[05:36] ---
Then how could I have not known?
[05:38] ---
There's a reason for that.
[05:40] ---
After his promotion,
he hasn't set foot on a battlefield.
[05:44] ---
His promotion was retracted
and then he was imprisoned.
[05:47] ---
The reason?
[05:53] ---
Apparently, he freed an astral mage
imprisoned by the Empire.
[06:01] ---
I don't understand.
[06:03] ---
In the Nelka forest, Iska was after me.
[06:07] ---
So why...?
[06:09] ---
Rin, find out who this astral mage
was that he freed.
[06:13] ---
I'm already on it. I'll need few more days.
[06:27] ---
It seems you have a strong interest
in this enemy soldier.
[06:32] ---
Mother!
[06:37] ---
The Empire is our enemy.
[06:39] ---
A nation full of people who hate
and persecute us, calling us witches...
[06:46] ---
The way we were treated by the Empire was
nothing short of a cruel witch hunt.
[06:52] ---
Countless astral mages fell victim to them.
[06:57] ---
To defeat and overthrow the Empire
is us astral mages' dearest wish.
[07:03] ---
The Imperial artists are no exception.
[07:06] ---
You know about the numerous paintings
of the "witch hunt" and "witch trials."
[07:10] ---
They, too, are pawns of the Empire.
[07:13] ---
It is inexcusable to collect things like these.
[07:17] ---
Yes, Mother.
[07:19] ---
That is all I wanted to say.
[07:22] ---
I have taken enough of your time
so late at night.
[07:36] ---
Rin, are you around?
[07:39] ---
Yes.
[07:42] ---
What did Her Majesty say?
[07:45] ---
Lady Alice?
[07:47] ---
Be prepared to take me
to Neutral city first thing tomorrow.
[07:52] ---
Again?! But if we bump
into that soldier, Iska, again--
[07:55] ---
That's what I'm counting on.
[07:58] ---
I want to figure out his true intent for myself.
[08:04] ---
So, Iska. Care to tell me who it is
you've arranged this meeting with?
[08:10] ---
I don't have an arrangement.
[08:13] ---
What do you mean?
[08:14] ---
I have a feeling she'll come.
[08:17] ---
I've never believed in fate
or destiny until now, but...
[08:21] ---
I have a feeling we'll meet again.
[08:25] ---
Why do you want to meet her?
[08:26] ---
There's something that I want to make sure of.
[08:31] ---
Oh, how rare! It's an albatross!
[08:35] ---
Not many live in the Empire territory anymore.
[08:38] ---
Though, I think a few villages
in the outskirts tame them.
[08:44] ---
Captain, please keep going until the entrance,
and then stop the car.
[08:49] ---
O-Okay...
[09:06] ---
We really do have a connection.
[09:09] ---
I wonder, what kind of a star
we were born under?
[09:13] ---
Who's the girl?
[09:15] ---
My boss, Captain Mismis.
[09:18] ---
I see. So that's why you came.
[09:22] ---
Um, Iska... Who's the pretty girl?
[09:26] ---
She's--
[09:26] ---
It's fine. I'll introduce myself.
[09:30] ---
Hello, captain from the Empire.
[09:33] ---
My name is Alice.
[09:35] ---
Aliceliese Lou Nebulis IX.
[09:37] ---
Miss Alice? But, wait, "Nebulis"?
[09:41] ---
Perhaps the people of the Empire may
know me better as the Ice Calamity Witch.
[09:48] ---
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What's going on?!
[09:52] ---
Let's go outside. Follow me.
[09:57] ---
I wonder why we hate each other
when there are peaceful cities like this?
[10:04] ---
I have a question for you.
[10:07] ---
A year ago, an Imperial soldier
was arrested for treason.
[10:12] ---
A peculiar Saint Disciple who freed
an astral mage taken captive by the Empire.
[10:17] ---
That was you.
[10:19] ---
Yes.
[10:20] ---
Why did you do that?
[10:23] ---
She was just a little girl.
[10:25] ---
Twelve or 13 years old, with weak astral power.
[10:30] ---
But the Empire wishes to apprehend
all astral mages regardless of that.
[10:35] ---
I didn't like it.
[10:37] ---
Your actions are contradicting.
[10:40] ---
You came after me in
the Nelka forest to capture me.
[10:44] ---
But a year ago, you freed someone because
you pitied her? That's not convincing.
[10:53] ---
Lost your voice? What's wrong, Imperial soldier?
[10:56] ---
They aren't contradicting.
[10:57] ---
What?
[10:58] ---
My goal hasn't changed.
Not now, and not a year ago.
[11:02] ---
Your goal?
[11:04] ---
A peace negotiation.
[11:06] ---
I want to end the war.
[11:09] ---
But the Empire won't act
based on anything I say.
[11:13] ---
Neither will the Nebulis Sovereignty.
[11:15] ---
Of course not.
[11:17] ---
So my plan was to take a direct
descendant of Nebulis hostage.
[11:22] ---
A powerful astral mage, or purebred,
as the Empire calls them.
[11:27] ---
I figured if royalty was in danger,
it would faze the Nebulis Sovereignty.
[11:32] ---
Their people will also be concerned.
[11:34] ---
It would force them to respond
to the peace negotiation.
[11:39] ---
I don't think you're lying.
[11:42] ---
But that won't work. Nothing will change.
[11:46] ---
Why not?
[11:47] ---
Even if you take me hostage,
Mother will not react.
[11:51] ---
So there won't be a negotiation.
[11:54] ---
Peace is just a pipe dream. You've never
been to the Sovereignty, have you?
[11:59] ---
You have no idea how many people
in our nation loath the Empire.
[12:06] ---
But I also never knew the Empire
had people like you.
[12:12] ---
Among the barbaric and
coercive Imperial soldiers,
[12:15] ---
I never knew there was someone
who wants to fight for the end of this war.
[12:20] ---
Besides... I think I got
to know you pretty well.
[12:27] ---
You should serve under me.
[12:32] ---
Huh?!
[12:33] ---
W-W-Wait, Lady Alice!
[12:35] ---
Wh-Wh-Wh-What are you saying?!
[12:38] ---
This is not what we discussed
at yesterday's meeting!
[12:42] ---
It just came to me.
[12:43] ---
This is insane!
[12:46] ---
Neither Lady Elletear or Lady Sisbell
will allow that, let alone Her Majesty!
[12:51] ---
We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
[12:55] ---
I'll guarantee your social status.
You will defect from the Empire.
[13:02] ---
I-Iska...
[13:08] ---
What?
[13:09] ---
Rin, what's happening?
[13:11] ---
I don't know, but my astral power
is frightened as well.
[13:18] ---
The sky...?
[13:19] ---
Captain Mismis, fall back!
[13:28] ---
Astral sword... Treacherous...
blade... of the star.
[13:36] ---
The... Founder?
[13:41] ---
I-Iska? Did she just say the Founder?
[13:45] ---
I think it's exactly what you're thinking,
Captain Mismis.
[13:48] ---
The Grand Witch Nebulis is alive.
[13:50] ---
A hundred years ago, when she turned
the Empire into a sea of flames.
[13:56] ---
This isn't fair! It's just me
and Iska on our side!
[13:59] ---
W-Wait, I didn't do anything!
[14:03] ---
The Empire... Those who corrode
this planet and its astral power...
[14:09] ---
They should all perish!
[14:14] ---
Mow them down.
[14:26] ---
Every astral power
in the Sovereignty is resonating...
[14:30] ---
What is happening?
[14:38] ---
The Founder's bond...!
[14:41] ---
But this is a dream come true.
[14:44] ---
With her power, the Empire's defeat
is within arm's reach.
[14:56] ---
Captain...?
[14:58] ---
Captain!
[15:03] ---
Isn't the Founder your ally?
[15:07] ---
The people of Nebulis call her the Founder
because she created our nation.
[15:13] ---
To call her an ally would be sheer arrogance!
[15:17] ---
So then, why would the Founder go
after Alice, her own descendant?
[15:22] ---
It's the astral power's auto defense system.
[15:25] ---
Though, I don't know what it's reacting to.
[15:27] ---
L-Lady Alice!
[15:28] ---
How frustrating...
[15:30] ---
Frustrating?
[15:31] ---
I wanted to settle this
just between the two of us.
[15:37] ---
Ever since I met you in the Neutral city,
I've had this feeling inside me...
[15:43] ---
But as a princess, that's not allowed.
[15:46] ---
So I came here today to quash it.
[15:49] ---
I was really fired up about it, too.
[15:51] ---
I wanted just the two of us to settle this,
without anyone's meddling.
[15:57] ---
And of all people, the stupid Founder
waltzes in between us and ruins it!
[16:02] ---
S-Stupid?!
[16:05] ---
Wha...?
[16:06] ---
Captain!
[16:07] ---
Anyway, we won't get anywhere
if we just stand here. Let's go!
[16:12] ---
Please stop this, Founder!
[16:16] ---
An astral mage dares to get in my way?
[16:20] ---
If you are joining forces with the Empire...
[16:24] ---
Oh, no!
[16:26] ---
Then vanish off the face of this planet.
[16:39] ---
Rin!
[16:45] ---
Rin! Rin!
[16:47] ---
Answer me!
[16:49] ---
Rin, please open your eyes...
[16:51] ---
Alice, calm down.
[16:54] ---
Cool Rin's body with ice.
That's what your astral power is for.
[16:58] ---
Oh...
[17:03] ---
Captain Mismis, please take her to the hospital.
[17:06] ---
Preferably to an astral injury specialist.
[17:09] ---
Huh? B-But...
[17:11] ---
And also order the residents
to evacuate the area.
[17:14] ---
This field is about to become
a very dangerous area.
[17:18] ---
A-All right!
[17:26] ---
I'm sorry.
[17:28] ---
Don't be.
[17:32] ---
Are those the swords that have awakened me?
[17:35] ---
Those are Crossweil's swords.
[17:38] ---
Crossweil?! How do you know Master?
[17:41] ---
You're his...?
[17:44] ---
No matter. You cannot possibly stop me.
[17:58] ---
An astral mage taking sides with the Empire...
[18:02] ---
No amount of screaming
will save you from your sin.
[18:15] ---
You're also an astral mage, but you've hurt
an ally without so much as a blink.
[18:19] ---
You're not the hero of the Sovereignty anymore!
[18:22] ---
A Hero? You cannot save the world
with such a pretty word.
[18:27] ---
That is why I will become a witch
and destroy the Empire.
[18:32] ---
Nebulis, you may have been the hope
that lead all astral mages 100 years ago.
[18:38] ---
But, no...
[18:40] ---
Seeing your actions made me understand...
[18:43] ---
Right now, in this age...
[18:45] ---
You are no longer needed!
[18:47] ---
Imperial soldier. Astral mage. You two--
[18:51] ---
Shut up!
[18:52] ---
Your actions are hollow and meaningless.
[18:55] ---
The future I strive for is not with you.
[18:57] ---
Neither is the world I strive for.
[19:00] ---
So go back to sleep for another hundred years!
[19:05] ---
The Empire's lap dog...
[19:08] ---
You have no idea how many astral mages
were oppressed by the likes of you.
[19:14] ---
Watch out!
[19:15] ---
Die.
[19:33] ---
She uses both ice and earth astral powers?!
[19:36] ---
Jump up!
[19:38] ---
Great Ice Calamity.
[19:46] ---
Feel the planet's wrath.
[19:56] ---
Let go of your hand! You'll--
[20:03] ---
Don't you think we're feeling the same way?
[20:05] ---
Alice, you're upset because Rin was hurt.
[20:09] ---
And a peace negotiation is out
the window with her rampage.
[20:13] ---
This is neither the Empire nor the Sovereignty.
We're in Neutral city.
[20:18] ---
We share the same goal.
That's all that matters. So...
[20:23] ---
Can I really trust someone from the Empire...?
[20:31] ---
Ice Calamity: Flooding Snow Lights!
[20:35] ---
Shoot up, Star of Ice!
[20:47] ---
I'm not done yet!
[20:49] ---
So aves cal pile.
[21:03] ---
Crawl the earth like the pathetic dog you are.
[21:11] ---
Keep running!
[21:17] ---
I'm coming for you!
[21:19] ---
Insolence. You have no idea
the quarrel I have with the Empire.
[21:25] ---
It's because of your vendetta
that this ridiculous war won't end!
[21:30] ---
Silence!
[21:34] ---
Alice!
[21:35] ---
Bloom forth!
[21:41] ---
It cannot be!
[21:52] ---
Go back to sleep, Nebulis!
[21:55] ---
The next time you awake, the world
will be a slightly better place.
[22:19] ---
Alice, about what you said earlier...
[22:22] ---
Huh?
[22:23] ---
I can't flip to the Nebulis' side.
[22:27] ---
I see.
[22:30] ---
Then you and I are enemies after all.
[22:35] ---
But I'd like to propose one thing.
[22:39] ---
Okay.
[22:42] ---
A temporary truce... I'm spent for today.
[22:45] ---
No objections here.
[22:48] ---
Just for today, though.
[22:50] ---
I know.
[22:51] ---
Tomorrow, we're back to being enemies.
[22:56] ---
All right.

[00:14] ---
What?! No way! I swear it
stopped at seven just now!
[00:18] ---
Looks like no luck for Iska, either.
[00:21] ---
You know, I think this machine is rigged.
[00:24] ---
That's gambling for you.
[00:26] ---
No! I'm going to the change machine again!
[00:29] ---
I have a feeling I'll win next time!
[00:31] ---
Wait, Captain! That's what all bad gamblers say!
[00:36] ---
Will she be all right?
[00:38] ---
Probably not.
[00:40] ---
Anyway, what are we doing here
in the first place?
[01:07] ---
"Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World"
[02:18] ---
"Two weeks ago"
[02:19] ---
Our last vacation?!
[02:21] ---
Yup. Your unit's working under
my orders for the next mission.
[02:21] ---
"Intersection: Battle for the Vortex"
[02:27] ---
Joint training starts next month,
[02:30] ---
so go enjoy the time you have left.
[02:33] ---
Wh-What do you mean by that?!
[02:35] ---
Anyway, have a good time!
[02:38] ---
Wait, Risya! Hey, hold on!
[02:44] ---
Does that mean this mission is really dangerous?
[02:48] ---
This is so we'll go out with no regrets?
[02:50] ---
Exactly what is our mission?
[02:53] ---
She said it's a surprise for next week.
[02:58] ---
Jeez, you're taking it too literally.
[03:01] ---
Think about it, Boss.
There's nothing to be alarmed about.
[03:05] ---
Jhin...
[03:07] ---
No matter the mission, you'll die when you die.
[03:10] ---
That's not comforting at all!
[03:12] ---
N-Now, now.
[03:14] ---
By the way, why did we choose here?
[03:18] ---
Jackpot.
[03:20] ---
"Jackpot"?
[03:22] ---
As in winning big bucks. But for what?
[03:27] ---
Merkava tank model MI62,
manufactured by Francesco.
[03:31] ---
Wait, is that the latest battle tank model?
[03:35] ---
I wanted to win big at the casino
so I could buy a tank.
[03:39] ---
That way, even if something happens,
we can all safely escape in it.
[03:43] ---
I see.
[03:45] ---
Captain, you're a genius at
coming up with unpredictable ideas.
[03:49] ---
Well, kudos for not picking
this place for pleasure.
[03:53] ---
R-Really?! Then I'll keep trying!
[03:56] ---
Let's go for the jackpot, everyone!
[03:59] ---
To be our own bosses!
To own a house debt-free!
[04:03] ---
Your goal just shifted!
[04:11] ---
We're here, Lady Alice.
[04:14] ---
This is Jurak, the city of pleasure.
[04:16] ---
Since early times,
people of nobility have gathered here.
[04:19] ---
It is a prestigious resort destination,
perfect for Lady Alice.
[04:25] ---
I'm not interested in gambling.
[04:27] ---
I made it very clear that I
preferred the Neutral city Ein.
[04:30] ---
Absolutely not.
[04:31] ---
Do you want to run into that
Imperial soldier again?!
[04:34] ---
S-So what if I did?!
[04:37] ---
My intent is pure. As a princess of Nebulis,
I will fight Iska next time...
[04:42] ---
You can do that on the battlefield.
There's no need to meet him in Neutral city.
[04:48] ---
Shall we go?
[04:56] ---
What do you think? Slot machines are
perfect for a first-timer such as yourself.
[05:02] ---
Is that so?
[05:09] ---
Rin, I think I'll pass.
[05:13] ---
Not to worry. The goddess of victory
will smile on you, even for gambling.
[05:18] ---
Victory... That reminds me!
[05:21] ---
First, I'll need to pick the perfect date
for the battle between me and Iska.
[05:26] ---
Pick a date?
[05:28] ---
I wonder what days will work for Iska?
[05:30] ---
I'm off next week, on Mercurday...
[05:33] ---
Oh, but the stars show misfortune on that day.
Not good for an important day.
[05:38] ---
I should pick the next holiday.
I'll also need to reserve a venue...
[05:44] ---
Lady Alice, this should not
be like planning a wedding.
[05:49] ---
W-W-W-W-W-W-Wedding?! I-Iska and I?!
[05:53] ---
Why are you blushing?
[05:55] ---
Because you said something weird!
[05:58] ---
Anyway, we can go over that later.
[06:03] ---
You're right.
[06:05] ---
I probably won't see him here, anyway.
[06:10] ---
I can't flip to the Nebulis' side.
[06:18] ---
Huh? Did the machine break?
[06:20] ---
Lady Alice, you hit the jackpot!
[06:22] ---
You should be a lot more excited!
[06:27] ---
Please wait here while I get the staff!
[06:33] ---
Hm?
[06:34] ---
Wow, did you hit the jackpot?! That's amazing!
[06:39] ---
It is? I don't understand this that well...
[06:42] ---
If we had this many coins,
I bet we could easily buy Captain's tank.
[06:52] ---
Take them. I'm afraid this
isn't something I really need.
[06:56] ---
What?! Are you sure?!
[06:58] ---
It was meant to be.
[07:00] ---
Thanks!
[07:05] ---
Iska!
[07:07] ---
Someone hit a jackpot over there!
And she shared her winnings!
[07:12] ---
See, Jhin! I told you so.
[07:15] ---
The jackpot does exist.
[07:18] ---
Tell it to me again when you hit it.
[07:20] ---
She must be a generous person.
[07:22] ---
Probably an oil tycoon?
[07:24] ---
I don't think so! She was super pretty, too!
[07:28] ---
Blonde hair and so elegant...
She looked like a princess.
[07:33] ---
No, it can't be.
[07:51] ---
Hey, Rin. What's that over there?
[07:54] ---
It says fortune telling.
[08:00] ---
Welcome, sweetie.
What would you like me to read?
[08:05] ---
U-Um, there's a boy a year younger than me...
[08:11] ---
Oh? Is he your boyfriend?
[08:13] ---
B-Boyfriend?! N-No, he's not!
[08:17] ---
Oh, he's not?
[08:19] ---
Most definitely not.
[08:22] ---
I want to know when and where
I'll see him again, just the two of us.
[08:27] ---
Let's see...
[08:31] ---
Hmm... Well this certainly is
an interesting fate.
[08:37] ---
These cards are a pair of two.
[08:40] ---
The person you're waiting for is close by.
[08:44] ---
What?
[08:45] ---
He is always close by.
[08:49] ---
You two are connected by a strong bond
that no ill-fate can break.
[08:54] ---
Right now is the perfect time
if you're looking for somebody.
[09:06] ---
Lady Alice, how did it go?
[09:09] ---
She said some plausible things.
[09:11] ---
But nothing that was specific.
[09:15] ---
That's fortune telling for you.
[09:21] ---
Shall we go?
[09:43] ---
So, what would you like me to read?
[09:47] ---
I'm looking for someone.
[09:49] ---
Oh? Perhaps a girlfriend?
[09:52] ---
Girlfriend?
[09:53] ---
What's her relationship to you?
[09:57] ---
Uhh... At first, we met on the frontline...
I mean, during our mission.
[10:04] ---
Ah, so she works with you.
[10:07] ---
Yes, and then we met again at a theater.
[10:12] ---
We then ate pasta together,
[10:14] ---
and then went to the art museum...
[10:16] ---
Oh, you don't need to go into detail.
[10:19] ---
Anyway, let's have a look, shall we?
[10:22] ---
Hmm... Well this certainly is
an interesting fate.
[10:27] ---
These cards are a pair of two.
[10:30] ---
The person you're waiting for is close by.
[10:37] ---
Thank you for coming, Risya.
[10:40] ---
Let me get straight to the point.
Do you know about the vortex?
[10:44] ---
Yes, Observation Facility 47 reported one
just Southwest of Mudor Canyon.
[10:50] ---
I thought Nameless was on it already?
[10:53] ---
It appears we need more reinforcements.
[10:59] ---
Are you talking about the one in Third Division?
[11:03] ---
Yes, a successor of the Black Steel Gladiator,
Crossweil, would be perfect.
[11:10] ---
You want me to send Unit N07 to the vortex?
[11:14] ---
I'll leave the justification up to you.
[11:17] ---
You want me to ask just because
I'm good friends with Mismis?
[11:22] ---
Seems I'll be playing the villain for nothing.
[11:25] ---
That's how you climbed your way up,
pushing aside colleagues and superiors.
[11:32] ---
I'll do it just this once.
[11:39] ---
Hey, Unit N07 peeps! Good morning!
[11:44] ---
Sorry for the early call.
[11:47] ---
Oh, Risya.
[11:49] ---
First thing's first. Did you read the details
on next month's training?
[11:54] ---
Oh, this? Yes, we did.
[11:57] ---
Well, forget what you read.
[11:59] ---
Huh?
[12:01] ---
This call is to inform you about
another mission I'm sending you on.
[12:06] ---
As you know, this whole witch and
demon thing started 100 years ago,
[12:11] ---
when a drift of astral energy created
what we call the vortex.
[12:17] ---
Without the vortex, we never would've had
Grand Witch Nebulis or the Sovereignty.
[12:24] ---
And it looks like another vortex
is going to form.
[12:28] ---
It'll be a pain if the Sovereignty
gains access to the vortex.
[12:32] ---
That could mean a more
powerful witch may be born.
[12:35] ---
That's where you guys, members of Unit N07,
come into play... To stop them.
[12:41] ---
After all, you did perform a feat
of stopping the Ice Calamity Witch.
[12:47] ---
So, good luck!
[13:00] ---
I forgot to give this back.
[13:05] ---
Lady Alice, excuse me.
[13:08] ---
Just now, I received a message
for you from your sister.
[13:13] ---
From Sisbell? What is it?
[13:15] ---
A disruption in astral energy,
[13:18] ---
possibly a vortex, was observed
at Mudor Canyon, Southwest of the Sovereignty.
[13:22] ---
The Empire has sent troops
towards the location.
[13:26] ---
How could that be?
I was not made aware of this.
[13:30] ---
The Zoa family... They're intentionally
delaying their report to Her Majesty.
[13:36] ---
I'll never understand it.
[13:38] ---
How are the Lou, Zoa, and Hydra families--
[13:42] ---
the three royal lines--in this much conflict?
[13:46] ---
Mudor Canyon is close to the Empire border.
[13:50] ---
Astral power forces are always stationed there,
which is Zoa's jurisdiction.
[13:55] ---
If it's not being reported, then...
[13:58] ---
The Zoa family plans to keep
the vortex energy for themselves?
[14:02] ---
I believe so.
[14:04] ---
All right. I'll go find out.
[14:21] ---
Not much of a welcome considering
the queen's daughter is here.
[14:29] ---
No...
[14:30] ---
That's close enough, Masked Lord.
[14:37] ---
Very impressive. You've always had
a heightened sense, Rin.
[14:43] ---
Anyone could feel your presence
if you just stood behind us like that.
[14:48] ---
What is the meaning of this, Masked Lord?
[14:51] ---
It's not what you think.
Please, don't be so alarmed.
[14:54] ---
You see, my astral power is weak,
so I always carry this around out of fear.
[15:04] ---
So, what brings you here today?
[15:06] ---
To ask a question about the vortex
in Mudor Canyon. Why isn't the Zoa--
[15:10] ---
That's just a flux in the magma,
or perhaps a drift of underground gas.
[15:14] ---
There's no proof that it's the vortex.
[15:17] ---
Of course, it would be smart
to send the troops over, just in case.
[15:22] ---
Then why are you stalling to report?
[15:26] ---
Zoa's head of the family has left
just now to go report our findings.
[15:30] ---
It took us a while to prepare the documents.
[15:36] ---
I see.
[15:38] ---
It appears this is simply a waste
of time to try and talk about this.
[15:43] ---
You'd be wise to keep a low profile.
[16:10] ---
Captain Mismis.
[16:12] ---
Oh, what's up?
[16:13] ---
Did you report what happened
at Ein to the higher-ups?
[16:16] ---
Oh, that. It was quite an ordeal, you know.
[16:21] ---
"Why don't you have a recording
of the witch?!" they said.
[16:26] ---
I'm sorry...
[16:27] ---
It's fine, don't worry!
[16:29] ---
I get in trouble all the time for report
omissions or mistakes on forms!
[16:36] ---
Noro!
[16:38] ---
Over here!
[16:40] ---
Oh, hey, Mismis!
[16:44] ---
When did you return to the Third Division?
[16:48] ---
Just recently.
[16:51] ---
Let me introduce my team to you.
These are my lovely subordinates!
[16:55] ---
I'm Shanorotte Gregory.
[16:59] ---
Mismis and I met each other
when we were low-ranking soldiers.
[17:03] ---
Although, it doesn't look like
you got any taller.
[17:07] ---
I did! About 2mm!
[17:10] ---
Soldiers, line up!
[17:23] ---
He certainly has a vibe.
[17:25] ---
Rumors were right.
That's the cutting-edge optical camouflage suit.
[17:29] ---
Saint Disciple of the eighth seat, Nameless.
[17:32] ---
He comes from the Empire's assassination force.
[17:35] ---
Let me start by telling you that I
will not give you specific orders here.
[17:42] ---
With that understanding,
your missions are as follows:
[17:46] ---
One, to secure the vortex
before the Sovereignty does.
[17:51] ---
Two, to destroy the vortex
if you fail to do so.
[17:56] ---
Lastly, do not get in my way.
[18:00] ---
My goal is to crush the astral power forces.
[18:03] ---
I will not allow anyone to stop me. That is all.
[18:06] ---
All units, continue searching for the vortex!
[18:12] ---
Apparently, the vortex is a giant astral energy.
[18:16] ---
Got anything, Boss?
[18:18] ---
No, I don't see anything like that.
[18:21] ---
No readings of astral energy, either.
[18:35] ---
Noro? What is it?
[18:37] ---
One of the units searching the vortex is MIA.
[18:41] ---
We also lost contact with two
other units that went to investigate.
[18:46] ---
Could it be the Nebulis' astral power force?
[18:49] ---
If that were the case,
there'd be signs of a struggle.
[18:52] ---
True.
[18:53] ---
But no evidence was found.
[18:56] ---
Either way, we'll head back to base!
They probably have new orders for us.
[19:02] ---
No need.
[19:05] ---
Of 32 units, only three are missing.
[19:08] ---
There's no need to dispatch
a rescue squad just for three units.
[19:12] ---
Just focus on locating the vortex.
[19:15] ---
Th-That is all. Dismissed!
[19:20] ---
Talk about lacking explanation.
[19:23] ---
It's weird to not send a rescue squad
when over ten people are missing.
[19:28] ---
Right, Captain?
[19:29] ---
Is he thinking about abandoning them?
I can't say I agree with that...
[19:35] ---
I'll go ask. He's my ex-colleague, after all.
[19:39] ---
Wait, Iska?!
[19:43] ---
Excuse me.
[19:45] ---
Wh-Who are you?!
[19:47] ---
I would like to speak to the commander.
[19:49] ---
If this is an emergency,
have your captain come to us.
[19:52] ---
Seems I have an odd guest.
[19:56] ---
I don't remember your name,
but I've seen you before.
[20:01] ---
It's been a year.
[20:02] ---
Yes, the traitor of the Empire.
You have some nerve, showing up here.
[20:08] ---
As a soldier stationed at this base,
I have a question.
[20:11] ---
If you want to speak,
you need the appropriate rank.
[20:17] ---
Get lost.
[20:19] ---
U-Um, if that's the case...
[20:22] ---
I would like to speak on his behalf
as a captain, Saint Disciple, sir.
[20:26] ---
Captain?!
[20:28] ---
Sorry, Iska. I'll take it from here.
[20:33] ---
At least let me be a hero
at a time like this...!
[20:38] ---
I'm Mismis, captain of
the Third Division Unit N07.
[20:41] ---
I-I do not mean any disrespect, but...
[20:44] ---
Why aren't we sending a rescue squad
for the missing soldiers?
[20:51] ---
And Mr. Saint Disciple didn't say a word?
[20:55] ---
Hmm, I wonder if there's a secret op
we don't know about?
[21:01] ---
Maybe...
[21:03] ---
Phew, that was refreshing!
[21:06] ---
Now, where did I put my cold juice?
[21:10] ---
Captain, at least your body is mature.
[21:18] ---
Nooooo!
[21:19] ---
I-I-It's not what you think!
[21:21] ---
I was so nervous about what happened today,
and the shower got me relaxed,
[21:25] ---
a-and, um, so, that's why, uh...
[21:29] ---
Please calm down, Captain.
[21:31] ---
No one will ever marry me now!
[21:34] ---
Jhin, take responsibility!
[21:36] ---
That doesn't make any sense!
[21:42] ---
Are you sure about heading to the valley?
[21:46] ---
Yes, as quickly as possible.
[21:48] ---
This isn't an excuse to go see that Imperial...
[21:50] ---
Of course not! Iska wouldn't be there.
[21:56] ---
I'm going as the princess of the Lou family.
[22:04] ---
It's time...
[22:10] ---
...Kissing.

[00:11] ---
Lady Aliceliese?!
[00:13] ---
What brings you to an outpost like this?!
[00:17] ---
I had some business to take care of nearby.
[00:19] ---
Please wait! This is off-limits...
[00:33] ---
It's the vortex.
[00:34] ---
Yes, there's no mistaking it.
[00:39] ---
I thought something was going on,
but it's you two.
[00:42] ---
Masked Lord, do you plan on monopolizing this?
[00:46] ---
You've got the wrong idea. This vortex
was found just moments ago.
[00:53] ---
We are about to report our findings
to Her Majesty right now.
[01:00] ---
Oh, good timing.
[01:03] ---
Come here, Kissing.
[01:28] ---
"Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World"
[02:42] ---
Come, Kissing. This is your relative, Alice.
[02:46] ---
You don't remember?
[02:48] ---
Well, I guess that can't be helped.
You were still little.
[02:53] ---
Anyway, Alice. You can leave
the defending of the Vortex to me.
[02:59] ---
You mean to say that she alone is enough
to go up against the Imperial army?
[03:03] ---
I believe her talent
could surpass that of your own.
[03:08] ---
I have no intention of casting doubt
on the Zoa's treasured child.
[03:12] ---
But what does the Zoa family plan on
doing with the power of this vortex?
[03:19] ---
Do you want an all-out war with the Empire?
[03:23] ---
But of course. Every astral mage
has been wishing that for 100 years.
[03:34] ---
Nene, what did you just say?
[03:36] ---
What do you mean, there are
astral power readings from the base?
[03:40] ---
HQ is analyzing it now,
but it's different from the vortex.
[03:45] ---
Could it be from an astral art?
[03:50] ---
This is Mismis from Unit N07.
[03:53] ---
What?! I understand.
[03:57] ---
They confirmed that the readings
from the base are from an astral art.
[04:01] ---
So the astral power forces
have infiltrated our base.
[04:06] ---
I bet the missing Imperial soldiers
were kidnapped by them.
[04:10] ---
What are our orders?
[04:12] ---
Right now, they're moving anything
of importance to the second base.
[04:17] ---
We're to continue our search for the vortex.
[04:21] ---
Got anything, Nene?
[04:22] ---
There's an astral power reading close by, but...
[04:26] ---
We'll just have to go over the place
with a fine-tooth comb.
[04:28] ---
Boss, lead the way.
[04:30] ---
A-All right...
[04:32] ---
Umm... That way!
[04:39] ---
Huh?
[04:41] ---
Astral light value is over 2,000 lunas!
[04:44] ---
Captain, nice work!
[04:46] ---
That light must be the vortex!
[04:48] ---
Huh?! So we're the first to find it?!
[04:52] ---
Maybe HQ will give us recognition!
[04:56] ---
Hate to break it to you, but it looks like
we're not the first ones here.
[05:12] ---
Oh, it's Noro's unit.
[05:17] ---
Mismis, did you see that light
from the vortex just now?
[05:20] ---
Of course!
[05:23] ---
That's too bad.
[05:25] ---
Huh?
[05:27] ---
Way before you guys spotted it,
[05:29] ---
the Sovereignty already had a trap
set up at the bottom of that valley.
[05:34] ---
Our plan was to capture
Imperial troops heading this way.
[05:38] ---
Just like this.
[05:41] ---
Captain!
[05:43] ---
Don't move, Imperial soldiers!
[05:52] ---
Sh-She's a witch!
[05:53] ---
That's right. I'm what you call a witch.
[05:57] ---
Along with everyone else on my team.
[06:02] ---
Noro, why? What did you do with the real Noro?
[06:06] ---
You still haven't figured it out?
You really are a dum-dum.
[06:11] ---
But that's what I love about you.
[06:15] ---
Shanorotte Gregory was born and raised
in the Nebulis Sovereignty.
[06:19] ---
Ever since I met you,
I am the one and only Shanorotte.
[06:30] ---
Out of my way.
[06:34] ---
Fifth Division Unit O04.
You'll be prosecuted here and now.
[06:44] ---
Scum witches sneaking into the Empire.
I told you to stay out of my way.
[06:50] ---
Nameless...
[06:52] ---
Did you really think I wouldn't
notice a traitor amongst us?
[06:57] ---
That's right. Sir Saint Disciple
is from the assassination force.
[07:03] ---
But it wouldn't do us any good
if I got captured here.
[07:07] ---
You will be prosecuted.
[07:27] ---
Jhin!
[07:28] ---
I got it!
[07:36] ---
Boy, have you lost your mind?
[07:40] ---
That knife... Were you going to pierce
Shanorotte along with our captain?
[07:44] ---
Insubordination against a commander.
Do you wish to go back to prison?
[07:49] ---
Mr. Saint Disciple, right now,
we should be tracking them.
[07:54] ---
We know where they're going.
[07:57] ---
Our mission remains the same.
[08:00] ---
If the vortex has fallen
into the enemy's hands...
[08:03] ---
Are you serious?
[08:04] ---
Once I return to the base,
we will bomb the whole enemy base.
[08:08] ---
They'll be annihilated, and that's it.
[08:24] ---
It seems it's unexpectedly small.
[08:27] ---
With the vortex this small,
[08:30] ---
only a few astral mages would reap
the benefits, even if they jump in.
[08:35] ---
Yes, maybe one or two could
grow stronger, but that'd be it.
[08:39] ---
After that, the astral energy will be spent.
[08:48] ---
My Lord, comrade Shanorotte has returned.
[08:55] ---
Hello, comrade Shanorotte.
[08:57] ---
Good job on capturing an Imperial soldier.
[09:01] ---
Thank you.
[09:05] ---
Huh?
[09:07] ---
What?
[09:12] ---
This is bad... No one knows about my
meetings with Iska in the Neutral city!
[09:18] ---
Uh... I've seen you before...
[09:21] ---
Y-You must be mistaken!
[09:24] ---
Oh, I know! I remember! You're A--
[09:32] ---
You're careless to bring an enemy soldier
into our HQ, even if she is restrained.
[09:38] ---
Yes, I'm so sorry!
[09:43] ---
Rin, thank you.
[09:44] ---
Of course. But with the female captain
and the Imperial soldier,
[09:50] ---
I just cannot believe how many
times they've stood in our way.
[09:55] ---
This is it! Jackpot!
[09:57] ---
What?
[09:58] ---
Comrade Shanorotte, leave everything to me!
[10:01] ---
You have the location to
the Imperial army's camp, right?
[10:08] ---
Lady Alice, what exactly are you...
[10:10] ---
This is my one chance in a million! This is
my opportunity to fight Iska again!
[10:16] ---
What?! L-Lady Alice, have you lost your mind?!
[10:20] ---
My mind is sound.
[10:24] ---
I'm coming for you, Iska!
[10:32] ---
"Intersection:
Awakening of the Vortex"
[10:40] ---
Footprints?
[10:42] ---
The tracker is right where
the vortex is located at.
[10:46] ---
Boss and the others must be held there.
[10:49] ---
We only have two more hours
until they launch a missile.
[10:56] ---
What?!
[10:56] ---
That was a short-distance missile
from our base!
[10:59] ---
That was a lot faster than expected.
[11:01] ---
When's the next one?!
[11:03] ---
In 30... Maybe 20 minutes.
[11:07] ---
Based on the ballistics data they just got,
their accuracy will improve.
[11:12] ---
We don't have much time. Let's go.
[11:16] ---
Do not panic! We knew the Empire
would be bombing us!
[11:20] ---
Everyone, retreat to the second base!
[11:37] ---
Noro, please stop...
[11:39] ---
Don't look at me with those eyes.
[11:42] ---
It makes me want to pull harder.
[11:49] ---
I'm here to take back our captain.
[11:51] ---
You're one of Mismis' subordinates!
[11:56] ---
My lightning! How dare you, Imperial soldier!
[12:01] ---
Impossible!
[12:02] ---
Th...
[12:05] ---
Th...
[12:10] ---
Thorns...
[12:11] ---
...hurt...
[12:13] ---
Lady Kissing! Have you come to help me?!
[12:19] ---
Thorns...
[12:26] ---
Eliminate...
[12:36] ---
What?!
[12:37] ---
Elimination complete...
[12:40] ---
Uncle... One... mission... complete...
[12:47] ---
Lady Kissing, you're incredible!
You indeed carry the Founder's blood!
[12:54] ---
Imperial soldiers... Eliminate...
[12:57] ---
Those are my orders...
[13:02] ---
Captain, please stay back.
[13:04] ---
Iska?!
[13:06] ---
She's a purebred, and a strong one.
[13:23] ---
Looks like no one's home.
[13:28] ---
Lady Alice!
[13:31] ---
Rin!
[13:32] ---
Hm, good instinct.
[13:36] ---
Emperor's direct report, Saint Disciple!
[13:39] ---
Your optical camouflage suit...
I've heard about you. Nameless, isn't it?
[13:44] ---
Must be intel from Shanorotte.
[13:47] ---
Nice to meet you. Not to be abrupt,
but I'm extremely upset.
[13:51] ---
About?
[13:53] ---
About you hurting Rin.
[13:56] ---
And also the bad luck causing me and
a particular someone to miss each other.
[14:01] ---
So I hope it's all right
to take my anger out on you!
[14:16] ---
He avoided... my attack...?
[14:24] ---
Become a star...
[14:27] ---
Indiscriminate attack?!
[14:41] ---
U-U-Unexpected...
[14:45] ---
Strong opponent... Saint Disciple...
[14:48] ---
Liberate my ability... Recombination...
[14:55] ---
She can regenerate objects?!
[14:57] ---
Imperial soldier... Disappear...
[15:14] ---
Ice Calamity: Thousand Thorn Blizzard.
[15:19] ---
Pierce through!
[15:20] ---
So slow.
[15:25] ---
This can't be...
[15:27] ---
Let me return the favor.
[15:35] ---
Apologies for overstepping.
[15:37] ---
No, Rin. Thank you.
[15:40] ---
Where did your earlier bravado go?
[15:44] ---
I apologize for being rude, Saint Disciple
of the eighth seat, Nameless.
[15:48] ---
I had doubts about your strength.
[15:52] ---
Allow me to express my sincerest apology.
[15:57] ---
I will show you my true power.
[16:06] ---
Great Ice Calamity.
[16:26] ---
He got away.
[16:32] ---
Let's go back. This was a waste.
[16:41] ---
It's from the vortex's direction!
[16:53] ---
Elimination... complete...
[16:58] ---
Who did you eliminate?
[17:02] ---
Iska!
[17:03] ---
How did he escape that explosion...?!
[17:09] ---
Black... slices through astral art...
[17:13] ---
White... resurrects it...?
[17:16] ---
Counterattack...
[17:17] ---
Never mind that. Who taught you such
a self-destructive way of fighting?
[17:25] ---
Liberate... Dragon of Thorns.
[17:50] ---
You are a formidable opponent.
[17:53] ---
But that doesn't mean you can easily win
every time with your ability.
[18:13] ---
Iska! I'm glad you're okay!
[18:17] ---
I knew you'd come save me.
[18:21] ---
Let's retreat. I'll carry this purebred back--
[18:25] ---
That won't do.
[18:29] ---
Twisting your body at the last minute?
[18:32] ---
Such amazing reaction speed and body control.
[18:36] ---
Who are you?
[18:39] ---
You should worry about
your captain instead of me.
[18:49] ---
Now, if you'll excuse me.
[18:50] ---
Let us meet again, Imperial soldier
whose name I do not know.
[18:57] ---
Captain!
[19:02] ---
Captain!
[19:05] ---
Iska!
[19:17] ---
Captain!
[19:31] ---
Iska!
[19:33] ---
Answer me!
[19:35] ---
Alice!
[19:41] ---
Where were you this whole time?!
[19:43] ---
Huh?
[19:44] ---
I went all the way to the Empire's camp,
but you weren't there!
[19:47] ---
It's all because that fortune teller
said you'd be close by!
[19:52] ---
Fortune teller?
[19:54] ---
N-Never mind that!
[19:56] ---
Grab my hand! Quickly!
[19:58] ---
Um...
[19:59] ---
I'll help you under one condition.
[20:01] ---
You'll fight me as soon as we're back on ground.
[20:05] ---
That's why I went looking for you!
[20:09] ---
If that's your condition, I'm game.
[20:13] ---
I'm holding you to it.
[20:28] ---
Spirals, shine the way!
[20:40] ---
So e lu emnue xel noi es.
[20:44] ---
How could this be?!
The astral energy is growing too fast!
[21:12] ---
Lady Alice!
[21:14] ---
Are you all right?!
[21:16] ---
I can't believe an astral spirit
got in our way! Such bad timing!
[21:21] ---
Huh?
[21:23] ---
Just when I finally got to see him again.
[21:28] ---
You better stay alive until we fight again...
[21:39] ---
Iska! Captain Mismis!
[21:42] ---
Iska, you good?
[21:43] ---
Yeah... Just barely.
We both fell into the vortex.
[21:48] ---
What?! How did you survive that?!
[22:01] ---
I owe her one.

[00:21] ---
Lady Alice?
[00:22] ---
Huh?!
[00:23] ---
Wh-What?! I wasn't thinking about Iska at all!
[00:27] ---
Iska?
[00:29] ---
Ah... Um, it's not what you think, Rin.
Wh-What I meant was, um, well, you see...
[00:37] ---
Very well.
[00:39] ---
If you're really that interested
in the swordsman,
[00:41] ---
arranging a battle with just the two of you,
as you wish, may be for the best.
[00:46] ---
Huh...? You mean it?
[00:48] ---
Yes. We've already met him
three times in the Neutral city, Ein.
[00:53] ---
Our best bet is to
simply keep visiting that city.
[00:57] ---
Thank you, Rin!
[00:59] ---
Oh, I can't wait! You just wait, Iska!
[01:03] ---
Yes, I can't wait, either.
[01:26] ---
"Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World"
[02:37] ---
Boss, minus 200 points.
[02:40] ---
I'm sorry!
[02:42] ---
C-Captain...
[02:44] ---
You don't have to apologize so much...
[02:47] ---
No, I really can't apologize enough...
[02:51] ---
You're right about that.
[02:53] ---
It was fatal to be captured
by Shanorotte, the spy.
[02:57] ---
Then, you fell into the vortex and passed out,
[03:00] ---
forcing Iska to jump in to save you.
[03:07] ---
I'm sorry for causing so much trouble...
[03:11] ---
Especially to you, Iska...
[03:15] ---
Iska, how are you doing?
[03:17] ---
I'm fine.
[03:19] ---
So please don't worry, Captain.
I'm just glad you're okay.
[03:25] ---
Yeah, thanks...
[03:30] ---
What's wrong?
[03:32] ---
Is it your shoulder?
If you're in pain, I have a cold pack.
[03:35] ---
No. It doesn't hurt. It just feels weird...
[03:42] ---
Hiya, members of Unit N07! Everyone here?
[03:49] ---
Infiltrate the Nebulis Sovereignty?!
[03:51] ---
Uh-huh! That's the secret mission
I was talking about the other day.
[03:54] ---
Under my command, you'll make
your way into the Sovereignty.
[03:58] ---
Your mission is to capture Queen Nebulis.
[04:02] ---
You're going too far with your joke,
Miss Saint Disciple.
[04:06] ---
It's not funny.
[04:08] ---
I agree.
[04:09] ---
It's rare for you to give
such a disapproving look, Issy.
[04:13] ---
I'm used to unreasonable demands,
but I really think this mission's impossible.
[04:18] ---
You can do it, Issy!
[04:21] ---
Besides, all the members
of this unit are talented.
[04:23] ---
Even so, you do have a plan, right?
[04:26] ---
Tell us exactly what that is. How can we
even get inside the Sovereignty?
[04:31] ---
They have the astral power trials.
[04:33] ---
You're right to point that out.
[04:36] ---
At the Empire, the astral crest of an
astral mage was used for witch trials.
[04:41] ---
The Sovereignty used that against us,
using the astral crest as a passport.
[04:48] ---
People without astral crests are highly
likely to be spies from the Empire,
[04:52] ---
so entry to the Nebulis Sovereignty
isn't easily granted.
[04:56] ---
But there is a way for people from
the Empire to infiltrate the Sovereignty.
[05:01] ---
What?
[05:02] ---
You'll find out in three days,
when we finish the prep work for the op!
[05:20] ---
Lady Alice, are you sure
you don't need a parasol?
[05:23] ---
Too much sun isn't good for you.
[05:27] ---
It's been three days that we've been
waiting at the square like this.
[05:31] ---
Yes, three days. Three days we've been
looking for Iska, and no sign of him.
[05:36] ---
Why isn't he here?
[05:38] ---
Up until now, we've always
found each other here.
[05:41] ---
Up until now, it was special.
[05:44] ---
Are you saying we're no longer special?
[05:46] ---
No, that's not what I meant. However...
[05:49] ---
If that swordsman was engulfed in
the vortex's eruption, he could be de--
[05:55] ---
He's alive!
[05:58] ---
Iska is alive. And he's going to fight me.
[06:05] ---
If you say so, Lady Alice.
[06:08] ---
Let's split up and look for him!
I'll search the main street.
[06:13] ---
Call me immediately if you find Iska!
[06:21] ---
Lady Alice, you are destined
to be our next queen.
[06:26] ---
Unfortunately, the Nebulis Sovereignty
is not without domestic conflict.
[06:30] ---
Others are watching like hawks
for an opportunity to take the throne.
[06:35] ---
Your sisters are increasing their presence
in preparation for the election.
[06:42] ---
Now is the time to be gaining more
supporters and preparing for the future.
[06:47] ---
You should not be so fixated
on an Imperial soldier like him.
[06:51] ---
I, Rin, shall sever your fate with Iska,
the swordsman of the Empire!
[06:59] ---
I wonder what Risya has in mind
to infiltrate the Sovereignty?
[07:03] ---
Who knows? It's difficult for
even Neutral city citizens to get in.
[07:09] ---
It should be downright impossible
for Imperial soldiers to do it.
[07:15] ---
Captain, is your shoulder still bothering you?
[07:18] ---
You get a heat rash from sleeping too much?
[07:21] ---
That's not it at all, Jhin!
Girls don't get rashes.
[07:26] ---
It's probably just a bug bite!
[07:28] ---
You're too old to be called a girl.
[07:30] ---
Grr! Jhin, you always say such mean things!
[07:34] ---
Nene, you have the meds?
[07:35] ---
I do. Captain, take off your jacket.
[07:42] ---
It's embarrassing that I have a bug bite...
[07:47] ---
Let's see... Ah, here it is!
[08:04] ---
Huh?
[08:12] ---
U-Um...
[08:16] ---
That's odd... I've never seen
such a weird bug bite...
[08:26] ---
Uh, what? What is this?
N-No, this isn't what it l-looks like...
[08:35] ---
Captain, it's okay.
First, you need to calm down.
[08:41] ---
I'm only asking, just in case,
but do you have any idea how you got it?
[08:44] ---
Huh? Um...
[08:46] ---
It has to be the vortex.
[08:49] ---
What you two saw right before
you were blasted off from the ground
[08:52] ---
was probably the astral spirit itself.
[08:55] ---
And it possessed Boss.
[08:58] ---
Ninety-nine percent of people
don't get possessed,
[09:00] ---
no matter how strong the astral spirit.
[09:03] ---
Boss, you just happened to be a "suitable host."
[09:12] ---
I-I've... Become... a witch...?
[09:18] ---
Seeing that you have an astral crest,
you hit jackpot.
[09:21] ---
If you want confirmation, the research institute
will have to take a look, but...
[09:26] ---
She can't do that, Jhin!
[09:28] ---
If the research institute finds out
she became a witch, she'll be executed!
[09:34] ---
If she turns herself in,
she'll only be imprisoned.
[09:36] ---
That's still bad! Without Captain, I...
[09:44] ---
Captain.
[09:48] ---
We'll follow your orders. You make the decision.
[09:53] ---
Me?
[09:55] ---
If you turn yourself in, you won't be executed.
[09:58] ---
We'll do everything we can
to get the sentence reduced.
[10:02] ---
You'll always be under watch, but they might
allow you to live outside the capital.
[10:07] ---
That's one option.
[10:11] ---
Making sure this astral crest stays hidden
and you remain as our captain...
[10:18] ---
That's the other option.
[10:27] ---
But... If we're caught,
you'll all be in trouble!
[10:31] ---
Don't worry about that.
[10:33] ---
We're your team. Just tell us what
you want and leave the rest to us.
[10:39] ---
I'm totally on board!
[10:46] ---
I...
[10:49] ---
I don't want to quit being your captain...
[10:52] ---
Especially when we finally got back together...
[10:58] ---
Is that... wrong?
[11:01] ---
No...
[11:05] ---
It isn't wrong.
[11:07] ---
If that's what you want, we won't leave you.
[11:18] ---
Thank you.
[11:26] ---
Ahh... There goes our third day...
[11:29] ---
Should we change tactics?
[11:32] ---
One option is to give up on Ein.
[11:35] ---
What are you saying, Rin?!
We can't give up now!
[11:40] ---
Where would Iska be...?
[11:43] ---
Oh, he could be here!
[11:46] ---
Ah, he could be here, too.
[11:58] ---
We're coming in.
[12:02] ---
How's Captain?
[12:04] ---
Yeah, I think she's calmed down a bit.
[12:07] ---
I'll spend the night with Captain tonight.
[12:10] ---
That's good. But her astral crest...
[12:14] ---
We need a way to hide it. There's no way
that a Saint Disciple will miss it.
[12:19] ---
What if she finds out?
[12:21] ---
You know the answer to that.
[12:23] ---
Worst case, astral mages found in
Empire territory are executed on the spot.
[12:27] ---
But in Captain's case, it's different!
[12:29] ---
It's just bad timing.
[12:31] ---
We just had an incident
with Shanorotte recently.
[12:35] ---
Whether we hide the crest or not,
they'll treat her as a spy once they find out.
[12:41] ---
If they don't find out, and hiding it is
also difficult, then it's hopeless...
[13:03] ---
Let's go!
[13:04] ---
Okay, wait for me!
[13:07] ---
I'm sorry...
[13:09] ---
Suggesting we go to Ein sounded
like we're trying to hide you.
[13:13] ---
Don't be. Right now, the Neutral city
is the only place I can be.
[13:18] ---
Besides, I feel less stressed here.
[13:21] ---
Having an astral crest
won't be a problem here.
[13:32] ---
I wonder if the Empire
was like this 100 years ago?
[13:35] ---
One hundred years ago?
[13:37] ---
During the time when the Empire
had dominance over the world.
[13:40] ---
Back then, 60% of the world's nations
were tributary states.
[13:45] ---
It must have been peaceful.
[13:48] ---
But then, the Empire discovered
the Secret of the Celestial Body.
[13:53] ---
An inexplicable energy called astral spirits.
[13:56] ---
Power so strong that ordinary people
with it were called witches and demons.
[14:00] ---
The Empire was just afraid of that power.
[14:03] ---
That fear caused oppression
among people who hosted astral spirits.
[14:10] ---
But I believe that we can still end this war.
[14:15] ---
The time will come when you
won't have to hide that.
[14:19] ---
Iska...
[14:21] ---
Nene, Jhin, and myself... We're all with you.
We'll get through this together.
[14:27] ---
Come on, don't make me cry.
I'm a sucker for these things.
[14:36] ---
Right! Well, we're already here,
so we might as well enjoy the stay!
[14:41] ---
I'm going to go get us something to drink.
[14:52] ---
So peaceful... People here are free from
gunshots and the smell of gun powder.
[14:59] ---
I wonder if peace like this will ever come
for the Nebulis Sovereignty.
[15:04] ---
An age where no one will be
called witches and demons...
[15:07] ---
The day when this war will end...
[15:15] ---
Captain Mismis is also a victim
in this astral crest ordeal.
[15:20] ---
Unless we can put an end to this war...
[15:23] ---
And yet...
[15:24] ---
You'll capture Queen Nebulis.
[15:28] ---
If we really succeed in capturing the queen,
[15:30] ---
the Empire... The Eight Great Apostles
will never free the queen.
[15:35] ---
It'll only fuel the war.
[15:37] ---
Ugh, I hate this!
[15:54] ---
Excuse me.
[15:59] ---
Would it be all right
if I join you on this bench?
[16:03] ---
Alice?
[16:05] ---
Huh?
[16:10] ---
Iska?!
[16:12] ---
I found you!
[16:14] ---
Huh? But I wasn't in hiding or anything...
[16:18] ---
No, you have no idea!
[16:21] ---
I've spent days walking around
looking for you!
[16:25] ---
Looking for me?
[16:29] ---
Never mind.
[16:32] ---
A-Anyway! Um...
[16:34] ---
Ugh, great! I had so much to say,
but now I'm drawing a blank!
[16:40] ---
Oh, um, okay...
[16:55] ---
Um, did you want to sit?
[16:57] ---
O-Of course not. You and I are enemies...
[17:01] ---
If Rin sees us sitting on the same bench,
she'll give me another scolding!
[17:06] ---
Then I'll get up.
[17:10] ---
Wait!
[17:12] ---
F-Fine. I'll sit, but so will you.
That way, we're equals.
[17:23] ---
Come on.
[17:25] ---
All right...
[17:39] ---
I'm glad you're okay.
I haven't seen you since that incident...
[17:46] ---
What are you doing here?
[17:49] ---
I'm just pondering about something.
[17:53] ---
Since then, something came up on our side
as well, and it's got me stumped.
[17:57] ---
Huh?
[17:58] ---
Well, what is it? You can tell me.
[18:01] ---
There's no way I can tell you.
[18:02] ---
Don't worry, I'm good with secrets.
I only tell them to Rin.
[18:08] ---
You can't keep a secret at all!
[18:10] ---
Come on, we know each other.
[18:13] ---
Even if we're enemies?
[18:14] ---
We are enemies. But this is the Neutral city.
A temporary truce.
[18:24] ---
Come on.
[18:29] ---
Lady Alice.
[18:32] ---
R-Rin!
[18:34] ---
Th-Th-This isn't what it looks like!
It's nothing!
[18:37] ---
You seem very close for it to be nothing.
[18:42] ---
It's Iska's fault!
[18:43] ---
H-How is it my fault?!
[18:46] ---
So you survived, Imperial swordsman.
[18:51] ---
No matter. Lady Alice, I was looking for you.
[18:55] ---
I was wondering if you wanted to
take a break, but this is a perfect spot.
[18:59] ---
Thank you.
[19:02] ---
Huh?
[19:03] ---
It's yours. Think of it as a generous
offering from Lady Alice.
[19:08] ---
Thanks...
[19:10] ---
Oh, Rin. How thoughtful of you.
[19:13] ---
This is the Neutral city, after all.
[19:23] ---
Is it apple? It has a unique fragrance.
[19:26] ---
It's lemonapple.
Don't you have them in the Empire?
[19:29] ---
I've never heard of it.
[19:32] ---
Come to think of it, Captain's been gone
for a while. I wonder if she's okay?
[19:39] ---
Iska, you were just thinking about something.
[19:43] ---
It's a secret...
[19:48] ---
Iska?
[19:51] ---
Iska, what's wrong?
[20:00] ---
Iska...?
[20:03] ---
Lady Alice, I must apologize.
[20:05] ---
I spiked his drink with a sleep-inducing drug.
[20:09] ---
What? Rin, this is the Neutral city...!
[20:12] ---
I-It's not what you think, Lady Alice.
[20:15] ---
I never imagined he would drink
something I provided!
[20:19] ---
Then why?
[20:21] ---
"The Sovereignty tried to drug me."
[20:23] ---
That fact alone would have been enough.
[20:26] ---
I figured he would view you as dangerous
and stop speaking to you so freely.
[20:34] ---
This is unexpected. I should've spiked it
with a deadly poison instead...
[20:39] ---
Rin.
[20:45] ---
Jeez, Rin! How could you do this?!
I don't like this at all!
[20:51] ---
There is only one thing to do.
Take him into custody.
[20:55] ---
What?
[20:57] ---
H-Hold on, Rin. Take him into custody?
[21:05] ---
Iska?
[21:12] ---
Isk--
[21:13] ---
Don't make a scene!
[21:14] ---
This swordsman is the enemy
of the Sovereignty. We're taking him in.
[21:18] ---
What did you do to Iska?!
[21:20] ---
How dare you do such a thing at Neutral city!
Is this how you all operate?!
[21:25] ---
I don't intend on explaining.
[21:29] ---
G-Give Iska back!
[21:37] ---
Freeze!
[21:46] ---
Rin, let's go.
[21:56] ---
It looks like Iska, the Successor of
the Black Steel, has been kidnapped
[22:01] ---
by the Ice Calamity Witch.
[22:04] ---
What would you like for us to do, Emperor?

[00:08] ---
Are you being serious?!
[00:09] ---
We can't take him into the Sovereignty!
[00:12] ---
If we do that...
[00:14] ---
Torture, a life sentence, or even death
would be waiting for an ex-Saint Disciple!
[00:21] ---
Rin, this is an order!
[00:24] ---
We cannot take him into the Sovereignty,
especially not Central Province!
[00:28] ---
And what if Iska escapes?
The palace will be dead ahead!
[00:36] ---
I understand.
[00:38] ---
Then we'll head to the closest
Nebulis territory from here.
[00:42] ---
The closest?
[00:45] ---
Isn't that...

"Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World"
[02:18] ---
Successor of the Black Steel, Iska.
[02:20] ---
He has been kidnapped by the Ice Calamity Witch
in Neutral city, of all places.
[02:26] ---
That appears to be the case,
but it does not hinder our plan.
[02:30] ---
You just focus on the secret op.
[02:32] ---
Well, that was what I planned on doing,
[02:36] ---
but His Excellency made me put a pin in it.
[02:40] ---
What?!
[02:41] ---
His Excellency certainly is fickle.
[02:43] ---
Then what would you do, Risya?
[02:46] ---
Witnesses saw the vehicle that we
think was used in the kidnapping.
[02:51] ---
Judging from their direction,
they're likely headed to
[02:54] ---
the Nebulis Sovereignty Province 13, Alcatroz.
[02:58] ---
Also known as the Prison Sector.
[03:00] ---
The one who went against
the former Queen Nebulis,
[03:04] ---
the Heretical Demon, Salinger,
is also held there.
[03:07] ---
If we can free him,
it just might work out for the Empire.
[03:13] ---
It is no easy feat to win Salinger
the Transcendent to our side, but...
[03:18] ---
It is worth trying.
[03:20] ---
Risya, do what you will.
[03:23] ---
I plan on doing just that.
[03:37] ---
Thanks for waiting, guys!
[03:43] ---
This was a tough break, huh?
[03:46] ---
What's with the past tense?
[03:48] ---
Oops, sorry about that.
[03:49] ---
We're allowed to go save Iska, right?!
[03:53] ---
Of course. But as you know,
[03:56] ---
the astral power trial at the border
makes it hard to get into the Sovereignty.
[04:02] ---
That's where this comes in.
[04:05] ---
I told you I had a trick up
my sleeve to pass the trial.
[04:10] ---
Is that astral energy?!
[04:13] ---
Wh-What does this mean?
[04:15] ---
It works like this, Nens.
[04:18] ---
There.
[04:20] ---
What are you doing, Risya?!
[04:28] ---
Have I become a witch?
[04:30] ---
Just the outermost layer of the skin,
and only for a week.
[04:34] ---
This gadget emits concentrated astral energy
to stamp an astral crest on your skin.
[04:41] ---
How disturbing. Courtesy of the Empire's
top-secret astral power research?
[04:46] ---
So we're going undercover as astral mages
to get across the border?
[04:51] ---
Mm-hm.
[04:52] ---
Looks like it.
[04:54] ---
Boss, give me your left shoulder.
[04:57] ---
Huh?
[05:13] ---
Will this work, Miss Saint Disciple?
[05:15] ---
Hey, that looks pretty good.
Just like the real deal.
[05:20] ---
Huh?! Oh, ha, ha, ha, d-don't tease me, Risya...
[05:28] ---
Jhin, where do you want yours?
[05:30] ---
On my leg.
[05:34] ---
After you cross
the Nebulis Sovereignty's border,
[05:38] ---
you'll head for Alcatroz
and covertly look for Iska.
[05:42] ---
And when we find him?
[05:46] ---
Wreak havoc.
[05:47] ---
While you're doing that, other undercover units
will create diversions, too.
[05:53] ---
The rest of the unit will take advantage
of the confusion and enter the palace.
[05:57] ---
To carry out the plan to capture Queen Nebulis?
[06:01] ---
I'm counting on ya!
[06:07] ---
Lady Alice, we've arrived in Alcatroz.
[06:11] ---
Head towards our lodging.
[06:12] ---
Of course.
[06:16] ---
Hey, what am I to do with you?
[06:25] ---
You won't wake up, will you?
[06:29] ---
Oh, wow. I'm impressed.
[06:34] ---
Yeah!
[06:39] ---
Mine is softer than yours.
[06:45] ---
That's one win for me.
[06:56] ---
How frightening... You're my enemy,
but you make me forget that.
[07:07] ---
Hey, Rin!
[07:08] ---
It was an alley cat. I apologize.
[07:12] ---
Be careful.
[07:17] ---
Huh?! Oh, no! I-I'm sorry.
[07:20] ---
Lady Alice?
[07:23] ---
I-It's nothing, Rin.
You just keep your eyes on the road!
[07:30] ---
You're awake?!
[07:33] ---
Alice...
[07:34] ---
Hey, Rin! You said he wouldn't
wake up until at least tomorrow!
[07:39] ---
H-He wasn't supposed to!
[07:41] ---
Just how strong is his drug tolerance?
[07:49] ---
Oh, i-it looks like you remember.
[07:52] ---
You're in our custody.
[07:55] ---
Just remember that it's your fault
for drinking that spiked juice!
[08:00] ---
Wow, Alice...
[08:02] ---
Wh-What?
[08:04] ---
I'm disappointed in you.
[08:06] ---
Huh?
[08:07] ---
The princess of the Nebulis Sovereignty
playing such a dirty trick?
[08:10] ---
That's not true! I didn't order it!
[08:13] ---
Rin went and acted on her own accord!
[08:16] ---
H-Hold on, Lady Alice!
I didn't think this would happen, either!
[08:21] ---
This is all your fault, Imperial swordsman!
How dare you be tricked so easily?!
[08:25] ---
The one doing the poisoning is 100% at fault!
[08:36] ---
You're free to pass.
[08:44] ---
We got through step one...
[08:46] ---
Next person, show me your astral crest.
[08:53] ---
Sorry for the wait, Jhin!
[08:56] ---
Jhin, how'd you finish so fast?
[08:58] ---
You guys are just slow.
Anyway, the next part is the hard part.
[09:03] ---
Keep your guard up.
[09:05] ---
Okay.
[09:06] ---
Iska, please be safe...
[09:14] ---
Good job, Unit N07.
Looks like it went without a hitch.
[09:20] ---
But this is as far as we can help.
Everything else is on you.
[09:29] ---
We're here, Lady Alice.
[09:35] ---
Imperial soldier, you're now
inside the Sovereignty.
[09:41] ---
You have no allies here.
Don't go screaming just because you can.
[09:46] ---
Follow me. You're Lady Alice's prisoner.
[10:04] ---
What... is this place?
[10:11] ---
I'm so tired. A car ride has
never been this tense.
[10:17] ---
Lady Alice, I have reserved another room.
[10:20] ---
We can chain him up
in there as his holding cell.
[10:25] ---
No. I bet you just got the smallest room, too.
[10:29] ---
I don't want any rumors spreading that
a princess treated her prisoner poorly.
[10:33] ---
H-However, this swordsman is dangerous!
[10:37] ---
Who knows when he'll attack you, Lady Alice!
[10:41] ---
Even without a sword?
[10:42] ---
Even without a sword!
[10:44] ---
All men are animals!
He'll try to attack you in your sleep--
[10:50] ---
What are you talking about?!
[10:55] ---
Fine. Then I will stay here and you can take
the presidential suite next door.
[11:03] ---
So you'll watch him? Okay.
[11:07] ---
Take good care of him.
[11:09] ---
Of course.
[11:25] ---
Hiya, everyone! I'm glad you all made it!
[11:29] ---
Risya!
[11:30] ---
So? How's your first time in the Sovereignty?
[11:33] ---
I've heard about it, but this province
really is full of prisons.
[11:38] ---
Convicts from within and throughout
are gathered here in Province 13, Alcatroz.
[11:44] ---
They prospered by having other nations
pay them to imprison violent criminals.
[11:51] ---
Those criminals are astral mages?
[11:53] ---
Correctomundo. One of the more
violent criminals, the Transce... Oops.
[12:00] ---
Oh, Jhin-Jhin, head down and take a left.
Then keep going straight.
[12:06] ---
Um, can you actually see us?
[12:10] ---
Ah, good guess, Nens!
[12:22] ---
Hiya!
[12:24] ---
Huh? Why are you here, Risya?
[12:27] ---
How could I possibly let
my precious Mismis go without me?
[12:32] ---
So now that we're all here, let's go, shall we?
[12:36] ---
Wh-Where to?
[12:37] ---
Where Issy is being held captive.
[12:40] ---
Ollelugan Prison Tower, here we come!
[12:48] ---
The last time I stood before you
was in that forest.
[12:52] ---
I guess so.
[12:54] ---
This is the go-to hotel
used by the Nebulis royals.
[12:57] ---
We will keep you here
until we decide what to do with you.
[13:01] ---
At least, that is Lady Alice's plan.
[13:04] ---
Alice's?
[13:06] ---
That is too risky.
[13:08] ---
I see you as a threat
better than Lady Alice does.
[13:13] ---
That is why...
[13:24] ---
What are you...?
[13:25] ---
This is how the story goes.
[13:27] ---
Seeing the knife on the table,
you grabbed it and attacked me.
[13:32] ---
My injury proves that.
[13:34] ---
Huh? But you did that...
[13:36] ---
This backs up my story of self-defense.
[13:39] ---
A dangerous Imperial soldier cannot be only
monitored. He must be imprisoned.
[13:46] ---
Hold on...
[13:47] ---
Imperial swordsman, Iska... You're done.
[13:50] ---
You're joking!
[13:52] ---
I am not!
[13:53] ---
You will become the greatest obstacle
to Lady Alice's goal of world unification!
[13:58] ---
Hence my decision.
[14:01] ---
You're a necessary sacrifice to unite the world.
Your dream come true!
[14:06] ---
That's definitely not my dream come true!
[14:13] ---
Maybe I'll have cold tomato pasta for dinner.
[14:22] ---
Oh, no. Rin will scold me again
if she sees me like this.
[14:27] ---
Now that Iska's my prisoner,
I shouldn't be too nice to him.
[14:34] ---
Hey, Rin, about tonight's dinner--
[14:42] ---
Impressive how you stopped
my attack despite being cuffed...
[14:46] ---
You won't kill me that easily...
[14:48] ---
Oh, Alice! Hey, servant, your master's back!
[14:53] ---
Ha! Don't be an idiot!
I will not fall for such a blatant lie.
[14:58] ---
If Lady Alice is truly here,
why hasn't she stopped me?
[15:02] ---
I was just about to do that.
[15:06] ---
Looks like you're having fun. May I join?
[15:12] ---
Lady Alice...?
[15:26] ---
This sure is a heavily guarded prison...
[15:28] ---
We barely got in with
Miss Saint Disciple's help, but...
[15:32] ---
Risya went her separate way.
[15:35] ---
I wonder if Iska is really here?
[15:39] ---
Saint Disciples are the Emperor's guards.
They rarely leave the capital.
[15:45] ---
If they weren't sure Iska was here,
they wouldn't be here. But...
[15:49] ---
But if they have a different agenda,
something other than rescuing Iska...
[15:59] ---
Lady Alice, everything is arranged.
[16:04] ---
However, I am reluctant about this...
[16:07] ---
It's your fault for assaulting Iska twice.
You may go now.
[16:11] ---
All right. Please be careful...
[16:19] ---
So, I'll be watching over you myself.
You should feel honored.
[16:26] ---
Alice?
[16:27] ---
Yes?
[16:28] ---
Are we going to stay like this?
[16:30] ---
Of course. Rin said you cannot be trusted
with just the cuffs on.
[16:37] ---
What?
[16:39] ---
Well, can I ask you a weird question?
[16:43] ---
Just so you know, it's impossible to
get you out of them. Rin has the keys.
[16:49] ---
How will we use the bathroom?
[16:53] ---
Huh?
[16:54] ---
Or bathe, or go to bed?
[17:07] ---
This is bad! Why didn't you
point this out earlier?!
[17:10] ---
Wait, was this your plan all along...?
I never pegged you for a pervert!
[17:15] ---
It doesn't take much thinking!
[17:17] ---
But...
[17:21] ---
Alice?
[17:23] ---
N-Now that you mention it...
Since this whole ordeal, I haven't gone...
[17:29] ---
To the bath--
[17:30] ---
Don't say it! Rin, we have an emergency!
Bring me the keys!
[17:37] ---
You excused her just moments ago.
[17:42] ---
Rin?!
[17:58] ---
Don't even think of anything evil.
[18:02] ---
You won't even get one step
into Lady Alice's bathroom.
[18:06] ---
You meant evil in that sense?!
[18:09] ---
I have a question.
What are you going to do with me?
[18:14] ---
Keep you locked away in this place forever.
That's what I propose.
[18:18] ---
Lady Alice offered you a deal once.
You just didn't take it.
[18:24] ---
After that, I have no reason to show you mercy.
[18:27] ---
However, that is simply my opinion.
[18:32] ---
Phew. I finally feel refreshed.
[18:36] ---
Hey, about my change of clothes...
[18:42] ---
No! Iska, wait, I didn't mean to!
I forgot you were here!
[18:51] ---
Astral crest?
[18:58] ---
Iska, what do you think when you see this?
[19:05] ---
Curse of the demon, an unknown disease,
mark of a monster rearing its face...
[19:11] ---
I know that's what the Empire calls it.
[19:13] ---
Lady Alice!
[19:15] ---
Don't misunderstand me, Rin.
I don't care what they think.
[19:20] ---
No matter what anyone calls it,
I'm proud of my astral crest.
[19:26] ---
But for some reason,
I want to know what you think of it.
[19:38] ---
There's this captain at the Empire
who became a "witch."
[19:42] ---
That person is still a captain at the Empire.
[19:47] ---
Whether she's a witch or has
an astral crest, I still respect her.
[19:54] ---
Is the astral crest the reason why
this war has continued for 100 years?
[19:58] ---
Is the reason we fight because
of some silly reason like that?
[20:01] ---
No. I'm with the Empire
and you're with the Sovereignty.
[20:06] ---
Which nation we were born in...
[20:08] ---
It's our ideas and positions that divide us.
[20:11] ---
The reason I fight is not
because of the astral crest.
[20:17] ---
You're right.
[20:19] ---
So, you're saying you don't
care about my astral crest?
[20:23] ---
Do you even have to ask?
[20:26] ---
Then, what do you think of me?
Aside from being a witch?
[20:32] ---
A rival on the battlefield.
[20:41] ---
Insolent fool! How dare you, a lowly soldier,
see Lady Alice as your rival?!
[20:46] ---
It's fine.
[20:47] ---
Yes, it's fi-- What?!
[20:52] ---
I feel like this fog has lifted from my heart.
[20:55] ---
That's right. That's the answer I wanted.
[20:59] ---
A brazen boy who doesn't treat me special.
That's the way you should be.
[21:07] ---
Alice, I also have something important to say.
[21:11] ---
What is it?
[21:13] ---
Um... I'd really appreciate it
if you'd wear something now...
[21:18] ---
I-Iska! Just where do you think you're ogling?!
[21:21] ---
But you're the one showing it off!
[21:23] ---
That was not my intention!
[21:26] ---
This isn't fair, Iska! If you're my rival,
you'll show your naked body, too!
[21:30] ---
Now take off your clothes!
[21:31] ---
A-Alice, you're not making sense!
[21:33] ---
Lady Alice, have you lost it?!
[21:36] ---
Don't you run away!
[21:52] ---
You may introduce yourself,
visitor from the Empire.
[21:57] ---
I'm Risya In Empire. Did I need
to make an appointment?
[22:03] ---
The Transcendent Demon, Salinger?

[00:07] ---
Salinger the Transcendent...
[00:09] ---
The Sovereignty's demon,
imprisoned 30 years ago.
[00:13] ---
That's how the Emperor
explained you to me, but...
[00:16] ---
You sure do look young. Are you actually him?
[00:21] ---
You've got guts to speak to me like that.
[00:25] ---
Does that confidence come from knowing
you have the Emperor's support?
[00:29] ---
Oh, no, not at all.
[00:31] ---
However, it is a pleasant surprise.
How did you manage to get in?
[00:36] ---
Through peaceful measures. I have
Sovereignty citizenship for times like this.
[00:42] ---
Anyway, I won't beat around the bush.
I'm here to help you escape from here.
[00:48] ---
Hmm.
[00:50] ---
We're planning a large-scale invasion
and thought we could use your help.
[00:56] ---
Your objective?
[00:58] ---
The current queen, Millavair Lou Nebulis VIII.
[01:02] ---
She captured you when you fought
against the late queen, 30 years ago.
[01:07] ---
You want me to seek revenge? How dull.
[01:13] ---
However, I have grown
a little tired of living underground.
[01:17] ---
All right.
[01:22] ---
I suppose I'll go...
[01:26] ---
...to transcend into
something higher than a king.
[01:48] ---
"Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World"
[03:07] ---
You can't sleep either?
[03:09] ---
You must feel uneasy. After all,
this is a hostile territory for you.
[03:13] ---
No... I was just thinking how
peaceful the night view is.
[03:19] ---
It is, but not everything is as it seems.
[03:23] ---
Within the night view are
prisons that hold violent criminals.
[03:28] ---
You mean, dangerous astral mages?
[03:30] ---
No, not all violent criminals
have powerful astral spirits.
[03:36] ---
With one exception.
[03:37] ---
Exception?
[03:40] ---
One of the prison towers over there,
the Ollelugan Prison Tower.
[03:45] ---
That facility has the highest level of security.
[03:48] ---
This nation's worst criminal is imprisoned
in the deepest level of that tower.
[03:52] ---
Salinger the Demon is held captive there.
[03:55] ---
Is that because he's a prisoner?
[03:57] ---
What do you mean?
[03:59] ---
Alice, you just called him a "demon."
[04:01] ---
I don't like using that term
either, but those are the rules.
[04:06] ---
Referring to himself as the Transcendent,
Salinger attacked the late queen.
[04:10] ---
Calling the traitor a demon is a stigma
for the subversion against the nation.
[04:17] ---
Jeez... I've said too much.
Don't tell Rin about this.
[04:22] ---
If she finds out I've explained
to you about Salinger, she'll--
[04:25] ---
Lady Alice.
[04:28] ---
Why did you just scream?
[04:31] ---
Really, you need an
attitude fit for a princess...
[04:34] ---
That isn't important. Did something happen?
[04:37] ---
We have reason to believe someone
infiltrated our nation and crossed the border.
[04:41] ---
How could that be?
[04:43] ---
Huh? Don't look at me.
I'm in no condition to do anything.
[04:49] ---
We know that. We've been
together the whole time.
[04:52] ---
Except for the Central Province,
suspicious groups were sighted in 12 provinces.
[04:58] ---
Since it could be the Empire's
covert force, a warning has been issued.
[05:03] ---
That also applies to this province, Alcatroz.
[05:10] ---
Have we been spotted?!
[05:12] ---
No, if we triggered this alarm,
it would've gone off when we got in.
[05:18] ---
Could it be Risya, then?!
[05:20] ---
Shh! Be quiet, Jhin, Mismis!
[05:30] ---
Prison guards?
[05:32] ---
No, they're the prison's
emergency response team.
[05:35] ---
Their gear is are exactly
like the Imperial Army's.
[05:38] ---
It's probably outfitted to handle
astral mages in this prison.
[05:42] ---
Yeah, I don't think they're after us.
[05:45] ---
That could mean Risya's in trouble!
This is bad! We have to go help her!
[05:53] ---
It's shaking!
[05:55] ---
What now?
[05:58] ---
Ah, hello? Hey, Mismis, you doing okay?
[06:02] ---
Risya?!
[06:03] ---
Oh, good! I guess you're safe!
Did you guys hear the sound just now?
[06:09] ---
A wall was blown to access under the ground,
[06:11] ---
and then an earth astral spirit
blasted a big hole to the top!
[06:16] ---
I mean, wow! Astral art is incredible!
[06:19] ---
H-Hold on, Risya! What happened to Iska?
[06:24] ---
Ah, sorry about that, Mismis.
Apparently, Iska isn't here.
[06:29] ---
Instead, there was a big bad demon who
went on a rampage, causing chaos. Oops!
[06:35] ---
Uhh, okay, well...
[06:38] ---
So, everyone retreat! Try not to
get captured by the prison guards!
[06:46] ---
What is she thinking?!
[06:48] ---
You can complain later. Let's go.
[06:52] ---
Jhin, do you think she used us as bait?
[06:57] ---
There's no point in thinking about it.
[07:06] ---
We'll break into Pattern Beta.
- Unit B, go from the right.
[07:06] ---
The problem is them.
[07:08] ---
Yes, sir.
[07:09] ---
Unit C, go left.
[07:10] ---
Yes, sir.
[07:14] ---
We're trapped.
[07:16] ---
That Miss Saint Disciple should've
communicated two minutes sooner!
[07:27] ---
What's going on over there?
[07:29] ---
Explosion?
[07:33] ---
Understood.
[07:35] ---
Lady Alice, there's been an explosion
at the Ollelugan Prison Tower.
[07:39] ---
A giant hole in the ground
was created at the site,
[07:42] ---
blasting out huge amount of debris.
[07:45] ---
Furthermore, according to
the tower's prison guard,
[07:48] ---
they heard a large roar
near Salinger the Demon's cell.
[07:54] ---
What did you say?!
[07:55] ---
We're currently trying to reach
the emergency response team there.
[07:59] ---
We need to act quickly, Rin!
If that demon escapes...
[08:03] ---
...he'll go after Mother's astral spirit next!
[08:06] ---
Go after an astral spirit?
[08:08] ---
I'll head over there.
[08:10] ---
But Lady Alice! He's dangerous!
[08:13] ---
Who else could stop him?
[08:15] ---
Ah...
[08:19] ---
Rin, go to the ground floor.
Prepare our vehicle immediately.
[08:23] ---
Understood.
[08:29] ---
As you just heard, I'll be
heading out to the prison tower.
[08:34] ---
But you can't give me,
an imperial soldier, the details, right?
[08:38] ---
That's right. You're our enemy.
[08:42] ---
But if I could tell you everything,
it would feel so reassuring...
[08:49] ---
Hey, Iska... If I ask for your help,
would you accept my request?
[08:57] ---
Huh?
[08:59] ---
Never mind. I'm going to get changed.
[09:08] ---
Do you remember this?
[09:11] ---
You might think I'm rude to give
this to you at a time like this, but...
[09:15] ---
I wanted to do it when Rin wasn't around.
[09:18] ---
I got the handkerchief you gave me dirty, so...
[09:23] ---
I'm sorry it had to be replaced with a new one.
[09:29] ---
If you don't like it,
you can just leave it behind.
[09:32] ---
But I hope you do like it and take it.
[09:37] ---
Goodbye, Iska.
[09:45] ---
Alice?
[09:55] ---
There's no way we can take them head on.
Nene, Boss, you two stay here.
[10:01] ---
I'll go out and attract their attention.
[10:03] ---
When they have their guard down,
take them out in a single sweep. Got it?
[10:07] ---
Wait! You'd be better at doing
that, Jhin! I should be the bait.
[10:14] ---
Who'd be better at grabbing
their attention, you or me?
[10:18] ---
B-But that's...
[10:21] ---
I'll be the bait.
[10:23] ---
What?
[10:27] ---
Because right now, I'm a witch.
[10:31] ---
Captain...
[10:33] ---
Hey, Boss, you don't mean...?
[10:35] ---
There are a bunch of witches
captured in this prison.
[10:39] ---
Then...!
[10:42] ---
I-I'm finally free!
[10:45] ---
We've found an escapee!
[10:47] ---
Is this witch responsible for that blast?!
[10:49] ---
An astral crest on her shoulder...
Everyone, in position!
[10:53] ---
Don't move! My astral spirit will
take all of you down in one attack!
[11:00] ---
It's a really powerful astral spirit!
[11:03] ---
We'll show no mercy to an escapee witch.
[11:06] ---
Under Article 19 of the general
prison law, you will be executed!
[11:10] ---
All units, advance!
[11:17] ---
This is something only I can do!
[11:29] ---
I'm not going to die here!
[11:34] ---
Over there!
[11:36] ---
They went around?!
[11:47] ---
Save us the trouble, escapee.
[11:51] ---
Or should I say, escapee-flunky?
If we can execute you here, we'd--
[12:06] ---
Hit the floor in situations like this.
[12:08] ---
They were the last of them on this floor.
[12:12] ---
Nene! I was so scared! A few seconds
later and I would've been a goner!
[12:20] ---
For once, you were actually helpful,
Boss. You did good, for once.
[12:25] ---
That doesn't sound like a praise!
[12:29] ---
Anyway, let's get out of here!
[12:32] ---
We'll all make it out okay
and force Risya to buy us barbeque!
[12:37] ---
Including Iska's meal?
[12:38] ---
Of course!
[12:42] ---
What exactly is going on?!
[12:46] ---
If only I didn't have this!
[12:51] ---
A phone call? From where?
[13:02] ---
That's mine! Alice had it with her?
[13:06] ---
Hello?
[13:07] ---
Oh, Iska?
[13:09] ---
Captain! It's me!
[13:11] ---
This is great! I finally got
a hold of him, Jhin, Nene!
[13:15] ---
Stop wasting time and cut to the chase.
[13:21] ---
Iska, what's your situation like?
[13:24] ---
I'm not sure, but there's no one around me.
[13:29] ---
I'm captured on a hotel's top floor.
[13:32] ---
I see. And the Ice Calamity Witch?
[13:35] ---
She headed out, to the Ollelugan Prison Tower.
[13:38] ---
Ollelugan...? That's where we are.
[13:42] ---
What?! Hold on, Captain!
Why are you inside the Sovereignty?!
[13:46] ---
Jhin, Nene, I have bad news!
The Ice Calamity Witch is headed our way!
[13:51] ---
Give me that.
[13:53] ---
Iska. I'll explain later, but we're
here inside the Sovereignty.
[13:58] ---
Just focus on finding us.
[14:00] ---
Roger that.
[14:02] ---
Can you go outside?
[14:04] ---
To be honest, probably not,
especially with me being handcuffed.
[14:08] ---
Any way you can break free from the handcuffs?
[14:11] ---
I would've if I could. Besides,
there's nothing to get these off...
[14:30] ---
You didn't... Alice...
[14:44] ---
I see...
[14:47] ---
I'm such an idiot.
[14:49] ---
How could I not have figured this out?
[14:58] ---
I'll be right over. Don't worry...
[15:01] ---
Iska... Hey, Iska. What's wrong?!
[15:05] ---
Jhin, stay there at Ollelugan.
I'll be on my way soon.
[15:17] ---
Lady Alice, we'll be there soon.
[15:20] ---
Okay. Put your game face on.
[15:24] ---
Are we under fire from the Imperial Army?!
[15:27] ---
They're aiming for us! Please escape!
[15:36] ---
The cell in Prison Tower
basement 11 has been destroyed!
[15:40] ---
We believe Salinger the Demon has escaped!
[15:43] ---
Never mind that! Where are the fire fighters?!
[15:45] ---
Get the onlookers out of here!
Imperial soldiers may be within them!
[15:51] ---
If this damage was caused by the Imperial Army,
[15:55] ---
how did they cross the border?
[15:58] ---
It seems they've outsmarted us.
[16:00] ---
The problem isn't just Salinger's escape...
They caused a series of commotion.
[16:06] ---
Bring it on. We'll just resolve
them one at a time.
[16:14] ---
Contain the blaze.
[16:19] ---
Show your respect!
Do you not recognize who she is?!
[16:24] ---
Princess Aliceliese?!
[16:26] ---
W-Why are you here?
[16:31] ---
As the second princess,
[16:34] ---
I will assume full command
on behalf of Queen Nebulis.
[16:37] ---
All units will follow
my orders. I will lead you.
[16:42] ---
As you wish!
[16:44] ---
Rin.
[16:45] ---
I am prepared.
[16:47] ---
We don't have time. It'll be dangerous,
but I can only count on you.
[16:52] ---
The emergency response team
won't be able to stop Salinger.
[16:56] ---
I understand. I will not fail you.
[17:06] ---
The fire isn't from an astral spirit...
Could it be a firebomb?
[17:11] ---
Iska!
[17:12] ---
Iska!
[17:14] ---
Captain! Nene! Jhin!
[17:17] ---
Ah, I'm so relieved! I'm so sorry!
If only I was strong enough...!
[17:23] ---
N-Not at all. That was completely my fault.
[17:27] ---
The fire will get us
if we don't hurry. Let's go!
[17:30] ---
Ah, hold on, Jhin. Captain, Nene, you, too.
[17:34] ---
What is it?
[17:37] ---
Captain, can I have my astral swords back?
[17:41] ---
Oh... Here you go.
[17:50] ---
Captain, I need 15 minutes.
[17:53] ---
Huh?
[17:54] ---
Please take everyone behind
that big hotel and stay there.
[17:58] ---
I'll meet you there!
[18:00] ---
H-Hold on!
[18:01] ---
Iska!
[18:08] ---
Salinger, where are you?!
[18:10] ---
How disappointing.
[18:14] ---
I was expecting a welcome
with cheering and clapping.
[18:18] ---
Instead, I just get one measly girl?
[18:24] ---
Salinger!
[18:27] ---
Oh? You may look like a maid,
but your form tells me otherwise.
[18:33] ---
You're no ordinary maid.
[18:35] ---
I will not introduce myself to a criminal!
[18:38] ---
A traitor who tried to steal the queen's
astral spirit! For that barbarous act--
[18:44] ---
you deserve to die!
[18:46] ---
Steal? This is collection.
[18:49] ---
Being thought of as theft
is downright offensive.
[18:52] ---
What?
[18:53] ---
A king collects tax from his people.
[18:56] ---
How is that any different from an
astral mage king collecting astral spirits?
[19:02] ---
You're pretending to be king?
[19:04] ---
For now, I'm just a king.
[19:08] ---
Once I gain all astral spirits,
I will become more powerful than a king.
[19:13] ---
Silence, demon!
[19:14] ---
You're just a criminal who stole
countless astral spirits and astral art!
[19:19] ---
Not even in 1,000 years
will you transcend the royal blood!
[19:23] ---
You know nothing.
[19:25] ---
I will not listen to your reasoning!
[19:28] ---
You're going back to your prison cell!
[19:34] ---
A wind astral spirit?
[19:41] ---
Not bad for a maid.
[19:45] ---
Clod of earth, crush this man.
Crush his annoying face into a pulp!
[19:53] ---
Golem? I see, so you're an earth astral mage.
[20:15] ---
But so fragile.
[20:23] ---
I'll cover you in dirt.
How fitting for a criminal.
[20:46] ---
The earth astral spirit I wield
is that of the purebreds.
[20:51] ---
Your astral spirit has no chance against mine.
[20:57] ---
You're saying you stole from the royal family?!
[21:02] ---
Salinger! Not even 100 violent
deaths can atone for your sin!
[21:08] ---
Stop your barking!
Just look at the royal family now.
[21:10] ---
Born into their social status,
[21:13] ---
they lack the will to elevate their
powerful astral spirits even higher.
[21:17] ---
How is that a worthy king?
[21:20] ---
That is why I aim to be better.
[21:26] ---
Sing for me.
[21:34] ---
How boring. I feel like
I'm torturing a dog or a cat.
[21:40] ---
You still dare to glare at me in your condition?
[21:44] ---
Then let me finish you off.
[21:51] ---
What...?
[21:53] ---
He slashed through my invisible blast?
[21:56] ---
Imperial swordsman... You...
[22:00] ---
I'll help you just this once.
[22:03] ---
This white-haired guy is Alice's enemy, right?

[00:12] ---
Are you saying you don't know who this man is?
[00:17] ---
He's the most wretched demon
that went against the late queen!
[00:23] ---
I have to do this in order to go home.
[00:27] ---
I want you to make a promise.
[00:29] ---
If I defeat him, you won't stop me
and my friends until we cross the border.
[00:42] ---
I'll take that as an acceptance.
[00:45] ---
I fail to understand.
[00:47] ---
Why would someone from the Empire
protect her? And why go against me?
[00:54] ---
No matter. Your answer means nothing either way.
[00:58] ---
I'll crush you.
[01:03] ---
Be quick with the rescue!

"Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World"
[02:44] ---
So this is where you were. The alert
hasn't been called off. Please come inside.
[02:53] ---
What's going on, Schwartz?
[02:56] ---
We believe the Empire's assassination force
was spotted within our nation.
[03:01] ---
During which time, Salinger the Demon
has broken free from the Alcatroz prison.
[03:09] ---
We are immediately investigating
if the two cases are related.
[03:16] ---
I see.
[03:17] ---
There is one thing that concerns me.
[03:21] ---
I am told Princess Aliceliese is there
taking command herself.
[03:27] ---
It seems too much of a coincidence
that she just happens to be there.
[03:31] ---
My sister Alice is there?
[03:38] ---
Hm. I can't say no one has ever blocked
my astral art, Roaring Song,
[03:45] ---
but to be physically sliced is a first.
[03:49] ---
Sound astral spirits are invisible
and destructive energy.
[03:52] ---
You couldn't possibly slice it with a sword.
[03:56] ---
It may be invisible, but not right now.
[04:00] ---
From the flickering of the flames?
[04:03] ---
You've heightened your senses
to notice such things? How is that?
[04:10] ---
I wasn't born with this ability.
[04:13] ---
A circus act or an act of god?
A fluke or a talent?
[04:20] ---
I suppose figuring it out
could be interesting.
[04:24] ---
Imperial swordsman, keep your guard up!
[04:26] ---
His astral spirit is water reflection.
It captures astral spirits and steals--
[04:31] ---
Rin!
[04:33] ---
Do not ruin this, maid. I'm playing
with this swordsman right now.
[04:42] ---
Good reflex. How did you judge that one?
[04:47] ---
Instinct.
[04:48] ---
But that will only go so far.
You won't last long.
[04:52] ---
You're wrong.
[04:54] ---
Hm?
[04:55] ---
I'll finish this quickly.
[04:57] ---
Are you a beast in human's clothing?!
[05:08] ---
That gave me a fright.
[05:11] ---
A barrier of wind?
[05:12] ---
You lost your one in a million chance.
Your swords will never reach me again.
[05:19] ---
No, next time, I'll cut through the barrier!
[05:23] ---
Crawl on the ground, beast.
[05:36] ---
Astral spirit of exploding earth, blast up
and scorch the earth with your rage!
[05:43] ---
Jump!
[05:56] ---
I owe you.
[05:58] ---
I had no choice. It means nothing.
[06:02] ---
I despise saying this,
but you being here is a godsend.
[06:05] ---
I'm unsure how many more cards he has
up his sleeve, but we'll keep pushing!
[06:10] ---
How many more cards?
[06:13] ---
I've yet to show any of my cards
in the last 30 years.
[06:20] ---
Listen well, maid and Imperial swordsman.
[06:24] ---
Astral spirit's true power is
far greater than you can imagine.
[06:31] ---
You shall perish after getting
a glimpse of its depth...!
[06:37] ---
Emergency response teams, search for Salinger!
[06:39] ---
Police officers will rescue the injured!
I will deal with the fire!
[06:44] ---
All prison guards will join
the search for Salinger!
[06:48] ---
We cannot let that demon escape! We must--
[06:51] ---
It's pointless.
[07:03] ---
He will not stop, because no one can stop him.
[07:07] ---
Saint Disciple, Nameless.
[07:10] ---
This is my nation. A lowly assassin
is not welcome here.
[07:15] ---
How ludicrous for a witch to call me lowly.
[07:19] ---
Is this your doing? Did you attack
the prison to release Salinger?
[07:25] ---
Does that matter right now?
Focus on what's in front of you.
[07:30] ---
The prison tower is in flames,
[07:32] ---
and Salinger the Transcendent will once again
bring havoc to the Sovereignty.
[07:36] ---
That's what matters.
[07:38] ---
I'll stop him.
[07:40] ---
Will you, now?
[07:43] ---
Pierce through!
[07:46] ---
Did you think you had the home advantage?
[07:50] ---
You don't seem like yourself, either.
Give me everything you've got!
[07:54] ---
As you wish.
[07:57] ---
Once Salinger gets through here.
[08:01] ---
My mission ends here.
[08:04] ---
Nameless!
[08:12] ---
Salinger?!
[08:25] ---
Astral spirit of water reflection...
[08:28] ---
This astral spirit splits another
astral spirit into two.
[08:32] ---
Fire and water, earth and wind, yin and yang.
[08:36] ---
By combining the two contradictory concepts,
they're raised to a higher level.
[08:42] ---
This is the state of equilibrium that
no individual astral spirit can attain.
[08:47] ---
Freezing fire!
[08:57] ---
Fall back, Rin!
[09:04] ---
The blaze grew stronger?!
[09:06] ---
You disrupted the balance between
fire and ice. That was a mistake.
[09:13] ---
Die.
[09:17] ---
Iska!
[09:27] ---
Salinger... Is this the reason why
you collect astral spirits?!
[09:32] ---
My reason? This is just a by-product.
[09:36] ---
Combining one astral spirit with another
is within the realms of an astral mage.
[09:42] ---
What I see on the horizon
is something much further.
[09:45] ---
My goal is to combine
humans with astral spirits.
[09:49] ---
Fusion between humans and astral spirits?!
[09:52] ---
Only two people have reached that level
in history. One was Founder Nebulis.
[09:59] ---
The Founder?!
[10:01] ---
I will surpass the earthly concept
of a king and I will reach that level.
[10:10] ---
You're insane.
[10:13] ---
Salinger, you're an enemy to the royal family.
You must be stopped!
[10:18] ---
You still wish to fight?
You've seen how that swordsman died.
[10:24] ---
You know nothing about Iska.
[10:26] ---
My master, Princess Aliceliese,
acknowledged him as her only rival.
[10:32] ---
Furthermore, he defeated the Founder,
someone you see as an equal.
[10:38] ---
Hmm? He defeated the Founder?
You must be lying.
[10:43] ---
It'd take more than an attack
like that to take Iska down.
[10:47] ---
All I had to do was listen to your
high-and-mighty speech and stall.
[10:53] ---
Enough. I've grown tired of your face.
Let me end you, too.
[11:00] ---
I'm over here, Demon!
[11:07] ---
Impossible!
[11:13] ---
You couldn't have survived that!
[11:15] ---
These astral swords are a pair of two.
[11:18] ---
The black sword cuts astral arts,
and the white sword replicates it once!
[11:30] ---
Are you saying...
[11:39] ---
...you used the frigid ice and
froze yourself to escape the blaze?
[11:46] ---
Have you lost your mind?
[11:48] ---
I have determination.
[11:51] ---
She trusted me, and I won't let her down!
[11:57] ---
Determination? Nonsense!
You're just an abominable berserker!
[12:05] ---
Air and lightning, maddeningly dance for me!
[12:11] ---
A sandstorm?!
[12:14] ---
Earth, form a pillar!
[12:21] ---
Rin?!
[12:23] ---
Don't worry about me! You have to defeat him!
[12:26] ---
How dare you, maid?!
[12:37] ---
What?!
[12:39] ---
What are you doing to my Rin?
[12:43] ---
Lady Alice...
[12:49] ---
You did well, Rin. Thank you for hanging on.
[12:55] ---
Iska... I knew you'd help me.
[13:03] ---
You're done, Demon!
[13:05] ---
Don't be so sure, you fool!
[13:07] ---
A mere swordsman could never elevate
to my height! I will not accept it!
[13:32] ---
How amusing! Fate has brought forth
a formidable opponent
[13:37] ---
in an attempt to stop me from reaching
great heights as an astral mage.
[13:43] ---
Mark my words! Nothing can hold me down!
[14:22] ---
Lady Alice, we've completed
the confirmation of prisoners.
[14:26] ---
They're all accounted for.
[14:28] ---
I see. That's a relief.
[14:32] ---
Rin, how's your injury?
[14:34] ---
I'm fine.
[14:36] ---
Oh? Then what about this scratch?
[14:38] ---
Ow! What was that for?!
[14:41] ---
You don't have to act stoic. This is me
you're talking to. Just be honest.
[14:49] ---
It hurts a little.
[14:52] ---
Good girl.
[14:55] ---
So, what's the situation like?
[14:57] ---
Right. Things have settled down around the site,
[15:00] ---
and the Imperial soldiers have likely retreated.
[15:04] ---
We have already briefed Her Majesty, but...
[15:07] ---
All right. I'll give her the full detail
once we're back at the palace.
[15:17] ---
Iska... He could have escaped
as soon as he unlocked his handcuffs.
[15:23] ---
But he didn't...
[15:30] ---
I kept my promise. We're good, right?
[15:40] ---
No, but that wasn't right!
[15:42] ---
Lady Alice?
[15:44] ---
I almost said thank you, but that wasn't right!
[15:47] ---
Because those were the terms of exchange!
Iska was obligated to come!
[15:54] ---
All right, let's go home! There's so much
I need to report to Mother!
[15:59] ---
O-Of course.
[16:24] ---
You struggled more than I thought you would.
[16:36] ---
Holy smokes, I'm burning up!
I thought I was gonna die from heat stroke.
[16:41] ---
I'm never, ever going to wear
a completely airtight metal fiber again!
[16:46] ---
I couldn't fight for more than a few minutes.
I wore out and took off!
[16:51] ---
Risya, you don't even need a toy like that.
[16:56] ---
All part of my research.
Anyway, how'd your end go?
[17:00] ---
Two special forces succeeded
in infiltrating the Central Province.
[17:05] ---
Surveillance of the palace is possible.
[17:08] ---
Oh, that's great.
[17:10] ---
I bet that'll put the Eight Great Apostles
in a good mood for about three days.
[17:14] ---
What about reporting to the Emperor?
[17:17] ---
Yup, gotta do that ASAP.
[17:21] ---
The Emperor's unusually interested
in Successor of the Black Steel, Iska.
[17:30] ---
Risya and Nameless have returned.
[17:34] ---
The Nebulis Sovereignty is pretty shaken up
from the Salinger the Demon ordeal.
[17:39] ---
So far, so good.
[17:43] ---
It would be ideal if the purebred
would be captured, but...
[17:50] ---
Things are moving our way.
[18:03] ---
What a relief! Going in was hard
but getting out's a piece of cake!
[18:08] ---
I was surprised to learn you guys
were in the Sovereignty.
[18:13] ---
Actually, it's very surprising that you
were able to cross the border.
[18:17] ---
Yeah, talk about small mercies.
We couldn't have done it any other way.
[18:24] ---
The special op?
[18:25] ---
Right. According to Risya, our astral crests
will disappear in a few days.
[18:30] ---
That's cutting it close.
[18:33] ---
I see.
[18:37] ---
Are you tired, too, Iska?
[18:39] ---
Oh, no, I'm fine. I can push through
until we return to the Empire.
[18:45] ---
Though, I am tired.
[18:57] ---
Wait, it's Alice's fault that I'm so tired!
[19:01] ---
Iska? What is it?
[19:03] ---
Oh, no, nothing at all!
[19:09] ---
I'm glad you seem to be doing okay, Captain.
[19:11] ---
Me? I'm doing fine!
[19:14] ---
Oh, um, was the whole astral crest thing
resolved while I was gone?
[19:22] ---
Captain?
[19:23] ---
No! Stop! Don't remind me!
I haven't been able to process it yet!
[19:30] ---
You'd forgotten about it?
[19:32] ---
I was too worried about you, Iska!
[19:34] ---
You need to help me think of
a plan when we get back!
[19:38] ---
Oh, yes, of course!
[19:40] ---
It's my turn to help you now, Captain.
[19:46] ---
Rin, you fought well this time.
I'm proud of you as your master.
[19:53] ---
I-I am humbled by your kind words!
[19:56] ---
Rin?
[19:58] ---
W-Well, I may not have been able
to deal with it on my own this time.
[20:04] ---
You're right.
[20:10] ---
Then, what do you think of me?
Aside from being a witch?
[20:16] ---
A rival on the battlefield.
[20:20] ---
Iska...
[20:22] ---
Lady Alice, did I just hear an unsettling name?
[20:26] ---
I-It's fine! Iska and I are official!
We're officially rivals!
[20:31] ---
It's okay to say his name!
[20:33] ---
It's a huge problem!
[20:36] ---
However, that Imperial swordsman
did save my life.
[20:41] ---
I must admit, however reluctantly,
that while he is our enemy,
[20:47] ---
he's also a respectable warrior...
[20:50] ---
Rin! So you officially approve, too!
[20:53] ---
But I still cannot allow it. You cannot say
that Imperial swordsman's name.
[20:58] ---
Especially in the Sovereignty.
[20:59] ---
But...
[21:01] ---
I'll tell Her Majesty.
[21:03] ---
Fine.
[21:05] ---
Wh-What is it?
[21:07] ---
Really, you worry too much, Rin.
[21:10] ---
I'm only stating the obvious!
[21:12] ---
Yeah, yeah. You sure are dependable.
[21:17] ---
Iska? Imperial soldier?
[21:21] ---
An imperial soldier that Alice
is interested in? Her rival?
[21:26] ---
Iska. Iska.
[21:38] ---
No... This can't be... That's impossible...
[21:50] ---
Fate of the stars, I will not
succumb to your temptation.
[21:56] ---
But if I could see him again...
[22:02] ---
Please help me, once more...

Please say the access code.
[00:19] ---
Above heaven, below heaven,
the only treasure is the Emperor.
[00:34] ---
The Successor of the Black Steel has returned.
Also, in regard to Salinger--
[00:41] ---
Let's skip that. Anyway, the Eight Great
Apostles really are troublesome, huh?
[00:46] ---
Are they still trying to capture a purebred?
[00:49] ---
You can stop them if you say the word.
[00:52] ---
It's not even worth my time.
[00:55] ---
Something very exciting is happening.
This is the first in 100 years.
[01:01] ---
Founder Nebulis... Finally,
one of your bloodlines has fallen...
[01:07] ---
A witch princess has fallen in love
with an Imperial swordsman.
[01:49] ---
Your Majesty, I hope you are doing very well.
[01:55] ---
Ah, Princess Sisbell. It is an honor
to be in your presence.
[02:19] ---
Milady, Her Majesty is asking for you.
[02:23] ---
Mother is?
[02:25] ---
Third Princess Sisbell, I am giving you
an order to head to Alsamira.
[02:32] ---
Unlike Ein, Alsamira is an independent
nation that hasn't declared neutrality.
[02:37] ---
We have intel that Alsamira is fostering
a relationship with the Empire.
[02:42] ---
I need you and your astral spirit to
find out if they'll side with the Empire.
[02:50] ---
I understand.
[02:52] ---
Sisbell, would you like to take
my guards for this quest?
[02:57] ---
I will be fine. Please keep
your guards by your side.
[03:12] ---
Your Majesty, First Princess
Elletear has returned.
[03:19] ---
I see.
[03:38] ---
Iska! They didn't find anything
wrong in your physical, did they?
[03:43] ---
All clear. Though they kept asking
if I was tortured or interrogated.
[03:49] ---
Everyone else?
[03:50] ---
We need to go back in a week.
[03:53] ---
They want to make sure the artificial
astral crests stamped on us will disappear.
[04:02] ---
She's trying to escape reality,
since her astral crest isn't going anywhere.
[04:09] ---
Re-examination is a problem.
[04:11] ---
Risya, this is illegal. I'll be reporting this
to the Imperial Senate.
[04:17] ---
Oww... Come on, I said I was sorry, Mikki.
[04:23] ---
Risya, what's wrong?
[04:25] ---
Uh, well, you know...
[04:29] ---
Hello, Unit N07. I'm Michaela from
HQ's medical coordination team.
[04:36] ---
N-Nice to meet you!
So, um, is something wrong?
[04:42] ---
Something is very wrong.
I have reviewed your work hours.
[04:51] ---
Everyone is working too much.
[04:54] ---
Military law limits consecutive combat
allowed for Third Division to 30 days.
[04:59] ---
We extend that to 45 days
for special ops, but...
[05:04] ---
Basically, you are all working way too hard.
[05:09] ---
Huh?
[05:11] ---
Under somebody's irresponsible command,
[05:14] ---
you were ordered to engage
the Ice Calamity Witch
[05:16] ---
and perform other risky missions.
Three units would've been KIA by now.
[05:20] ---
HQ's decision would be under scrutiny
if the public ever found out.
[05:25] ---
It's fine. We just have to not get caught.
[05:28] ---
It is so not fine!
[05:30] ---
What does this all mean, exactly?
[05:32] ---
We're ordering you to take leave.
You are not allowed to work for 60 days.
[05:38] ---
Sixty days?!
[05:41] ---
That is all. Now, let's get back to work, Risya.
[05:47] ---
Well, bye, everyone. Enjoy your vacay.
[05:53] ---
I wish I could have a vacation...
[05:57] ---
Forced leave?! Does that mean the astral
crest check-up is postponed, too?!
[06:04] ---
It isn't what it sounds like.
[06:06] ---
Huh?
[06:08] ---
Any normal unit may have been KIA
on each of the three missions we went on.
[06:13] ---
They're only giving us 60 days
of leave to call it even.
[06:18] ---
Well, when you put it like that...
[06:21] ---
But we're not in hot water anymore.
[06:24] ---
We have more time to deal
with Boss' astral crest.
[06:27] ---
If we're careless about finding a solution,
they'll catch on. Should we leave?
[06:32] ---
I'm on board! It'll look natural
to go away on a vacation.
[06:38] ---
Someplace far away from the Empire,
like a resort, will be great!
[06:50] ---
Phew, I'm all done.
[06:54] ---
That was from two weeks ago.
This is last week's and this week's work.
[07:00] ---
No! I can't do this! Look, Rin!
I have callus from writing so much!
[07:07] ---
You could use your other hand.
[07:10] ---
Is this torture?!
[07:13] ---
I'm only kidding. Shall we take a break?
[07:22] ---
This whole day, I've been in the study
helping Mother's administrative work.
[07:27] ---
It's so monotonous and makes me sleepy.
I need excitement.
[07:31] ---
If by excitement you mean thrill,
you had enough of that a few days ago.
[07:42] ---
Lady Alice.
[07:43] ---
N-No! I wasn't remembering that day...
[07:47] ---
Here's your milk tea.
[07:50] ---
I've added more sugar than usual,
so please stir well before drinking.
[07:55] ---
Th-Thanks.
[08:13] ---
A fanfare of someone's return.
[08:15] ---
Maybe for my older sister, Elletear?
[08:17] ---
Back so quickly? Her campaign to woo
the voters must be going so well.
[08:26] ---
Rin.
[08:27] ---
Shall we welcome her return?
[08:31] ---
We should.
[08:42] ---
Sisbell?
[08:44] ---
Are you going to go see Sis? Let's go toget--
[08:47] ---
Excuse me.
[08:51] ---
She's like a different person these days.
[08:56] ---
She used to be as energetic
and curious as you, Lady Alice.
[09:02] ---
I don't blame her.
[09:03] ---
With the ministers discussing who'll be
the next queen, things are awkward.
[09:10] ---
I feel it, too. I'd rather just
leave the palace.
[09:13] ---
You cannot.
[09:15] ---
Why not?
[09:16] ---
Right now, powerful astral mages are
concentrated in the Central providence.
[09:22] ---
In preparation for the Empire's invasion,
[09:25] ---
Her Majesty is considering allocating
that power throughout the Sovereignty.
[09:30] ---
That's right. So why shouldn't I leave, then?
[09:34] ---
Well, it appears Lady Sisbell
is leaving instead.
[09:37] ---
She's headed to the independent nation
in the East under Her Majesty's orders.
[09:42] ---
She is?
[09:43] ---
Therefore, you must stay.
[09:46] ---
Ugh... fine.
[09:51] ---
I need more excitement...
[10:06] ---
Let us go.
[10:11] ---
Are you positive about just having me
as your guard for this trip to Alsamira?
[10:17] ---
Schwartz, you should know better.
[10:24] ---
Have you heard the rumors?
[10:26] ---
Yes, the Second Princess, Aliceliese,
is a strong candidate for the election.
[10:33] ---
We must make our decision soon.
[10:36] ---
The palace is full of people like them.
[10:39] ---
I will not be putting my trust
in anyone but you.
[10:45] ---
That nightmare will come true.
Someone is coming after Mother.
[10:50] ---
There's a monster trying
to take over this nation.
[10:54] ---
Be brave, Sisbell.
You're the only one who knows of this!
[11:02] ---
Milady?
[11:03] ---
It's nothing. Let's go, Schwartz.
[11:08] ---
Mother, I promise I will protect you.
[11:12] ---
So please be safe while I'm away.
[11:23] ---
Seems Sisbell has left.
[11:26] ---
I haven't spoken to her for quite some time.
[11:29] ---
Between the three sisters,
you're the only one that always visits us.
[11:35] ---
Am I welcomed?
[11:37] ---
Of course you are...
[11:41] ---
...Elletear.
[11:46] ---
It's been a while, Elletear.
[11:49] ---
I'm delighted the eldest daughter of Lou
[11:51] ---
would take the time to visit me,
a Zoa, so shortly after her return.
[11:55] ---
Please don't say such a thing.
Lou or Zoa, it shouldn't matter.
[12:01] ---
Especially during a time like this...
[12:03] ---
Is something the matter?
[12:07] ---
It would shake this nation to the core.
[12:09] ---
Oh?
[12:11] ---
Someone close to us is involved with the
Empire behind the scenes. Did you know?
[12:17] ---
What an interesting thing to say.
Do you have solid proof?
[12:23] ---
I don't think they have become
pawns of the Empire yet.
[12:27] ---
But I cannot let this go on...
I'm at a loss as to what to do...
[12:32] ---
An intelligent woman like you?
[12:35] ---
Tell me, who is this person you speak of?
[12:58] ---
Independent nation, Alsamira.
[13:00] ---
They may or may not be secretly
considering becoming the Empire's ally.
[13:04] ---
Sure, but that's just a rumor.
[13:07] ---
Of course it is. They're making bank
with these resorts.
[13:13] ---
It's so hot! This isn't mid-summer hot
but pan-frying hot!
[13:18] ---
This is amazing! It really is a tropical resort!
[13:23] ---
Looks like they plan on having a blast.
[13:25] ---
Well, Captain's safe outside the Empire.
[13:30] ---
We need to figure out how to hide
her astral crest while we're here.
[13:35] ---
Here, Iska. Inflate these for us.
[13:39] ---
It's too soon! We just walked off of the bus.
[13:44] ---
Look! Marine Hotel, Hotel Isberia,
and the Grand Illumination Group Hotel!
[13:49] ---
They're all super famous hotels!
This is like a dream! Let's go!
[13:55] ---
Hold on, Captain!
[13:59] ---
Well...
[14:00] ---
Just for today.
[14:09] ---
Wow...
[14:11] ---
Sorry for the wait!
[14:13] ---
It took me a while to blow up my swim tubes.
[14:17] ---
What do you think, Iska?
[14:19] ---
What about my bathing suit? Is it cute?
[14:22] ---
Y-Yes.
[14:27] ---
OK, let's do a 100m swim race! Let's go!
[14:33] ---
--Come on, hurry up!
[14:34] ---
--You can't even swim that long, Boss.
--Come on, hurry up!
[14:50] ---
The wind's getting colder.
[14:52] ---
Night in the desert gets chilly.
I wonder if Captain's okay?
[14:56] ---
The beer finished her off.
She rarely drinks at all.
[15:02] ---
Jhin, could you take Captain to the hotel?
[15:06] ---
We'll go get dinner from the supermarket.
[15:09] ---
Don't get lost.
[15:14] ---
Iska, can you wait here?
I drank a lot of juice and need to go...
[15:20] ---
Okay.
[15:21] ---
I'll be back!
[15:30] ---
Oh, are you okay?
[15:32] ---
Ouch... E-Excuse me. I've gotten lost
and was looking at the map.
[15:41] ---
You're...
[15:45] ---
Huh?
[15:47] ---
You're... That girl...
[15:55] ---
U-Um!
[15:56] ---
Thanks for waiting, Iska!
[15:59] ---
Huh? What is it?
[16:01] ---
N-Nothing!
[16:03] ---
Oh, I know! She was just
asking for directions, and...
[16:07] ---
Who was?
[16:08] ---
Huh?
[16:13] ---
Iska?
[16:16] ---
Never mind. Anyway, we should
head to the supermarket. Let's go.
[16:27] ---
Is this even possible?!
[16:33] ---
He's here! Saint Disciple Iska is here!
[16:39] ---
Milady!
[16:42] ---
I was looking for you.
Please be more kind to this old body.
[16:48] ---
I found him!
[16:49] ---
Hmm?
[16:50] ---
Listen, Schwartz! I finally found
my dream knight that I was looking for!
[16:56] ---
I need to talk to you immediately.
Let's head back to the hotel first.
[17:02] ---
What is going on?
[17:04] ---
We'll wait for nighttime.
[17:09] ---
I'm utterly exhausted.
[17:12] ---
You worked hard. There's a meet and greet
at 5 AM tomorrow in the Queen's Hall.
[17:17] ---
Twenty people including guests from
foreign nations and ministers will be there.
[17:20] ---
Please be prepared to
greet everyone individually.
[17:23] ---
Have you no heart?!
[17:26] ---
Alice.
[17:27] ---
M-Mother?! Rin, quickly, get the door!
[17:31] ---
O-Of course!
[17:38] ---
Mother, is something wrong?
[17:41] ---
Please come with me.
[17:43] ---
What?
[17:55] ---
There aren't many people out in this cold.
[17:59] ---
Keep your guard up and be
on the lookout, Schwartz.
[18:04] ---
Stars, show me your past.
[18:12] ---
Iska?
[18:13] ---
Never mind. Anyway, we should head
to the supermarket. Let's go.
[18:21] ---
Milady, are you really
going to ask for his help?
[18:25] ---
Yes. Let's go.
[18:30] ---
Mother, where are we going?
[18:34] ---
Is that the key to Lady Sisbell's room?
[18:37] ---
Yes. She's traveling, so she
left the key with me.
[18:49] ---
Alice, what do you think of her recently?
[18:53] ---
Huh?
[18:54] ---
As a queen, I wish for you two to be
as graceful as royal members should be.
[19:00] ---
However, I am also your mother.
[19:04] ---
Right now, the retainers do not
have much faith in Sisbell.
[19:07] ---
It will be difficult for her to win
the election, but that cannot be helped.
[19:13] ---
But as a mother, I have the
responsibility to raise her well.
[19:18] ---
Your Majesty, did you send
Lady Sisbell out because...
[19:23] ---
No, that was because she was
best suited for the job.
[19:27] ---
But this is a good opportunity.
[19:30] ---
I'm worried about Sisbell. What is she doing
cooped up in her room every day?
[19:37] ---
It's only natural for a parent
to want to know these things.
[19:44] ---
We will join you, Mother.
[19:51] ---
It's one of the hotels Jarmrick Company owns.
[19:54] ---
It's an established hotel
that rates slightly above average.
[19:59] ---
Perfect for an Imperial soldier
to stay for his vacation?
[20:02] ---
Yes. If they're here on
a secret op from the Empire,
[20:06] ---
they'd stay at a better hotel or
one in affiliation with the Empire.
[20:12] ---
Even better. We'll proceed as planned.
[20:15] ---
Of course.
[20:36] ---
Let's split up and look around.
Alice, Rin, you two work together.
[20:40] ---
Yes, Mother.
[20:57] ---
Er, um...
[20:59] ---
An assassin?
[21:16] ---
I never thought I'd snoop around
my little sister's room...
[21:32] ---
Who do you work for? The Sovereignty?
[21:35] ---
N-No, this is a misunderstanding!
[21:42] ---
You're...
[21:44] ---
I came to see you.
[21:48] ---
How... How does Sisbell know Iska?
[21:56] ---
Saint Disciple Iska, there's something
I would like to ask you.
[22:00] ---
Ask me?
[22:03] ---
Would you accompany me to the Sovereignty?

[00:09] ---
It's been a year, Saint Disciple Iska.
[00:12] ---
You're that girl from prison?
[00:15] ---
My name is Sisbell. I'm honored
that you remembered me.
[00:21] ---
I do apologize for breaking into your
room in the middle of the night.
[00:25] ---
However, um, I'm not accustomed
to being treated this way.
[00:31] ---
Huh?
[00:32] ---
I would appreciate it if you could move...
[00:35] ---
Oh, s-sorry!
[01:08] ---
"Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World"
[02:25] ---
How...?
[02:27] ---
Lady Sisbell must have been investigating
that Imperial swordsman.
[02:33] ---
Could she have seen Iska and
I meet in the neutral city?!
[02:37] ---
With her astral spirit, it's possible!
[02:39] ---
Please calm down, Lady Alice.
[02:41] ---
Lady Sisbell's astral spirit can only
see within the radius of 300m.
[02:46] ---
It's impossible for her to see
an event in the neutral city.
[02:49] ---
Maybe she heard our conversation
in the castle, then?
[02:53] ---
I was being careful, but...
[02:57] ---
Perhaps Lady Sisbell suspects you
and the Empire are connected?
[03:13] ---
May I call you Iska?
[03:18] ---
I'm truly sorry for letting myself
into your room.
[03:22] ---
I also didn't say a word of gratitude
when you freed me from that prison.
[03:31] ---
I must admit that, at the time,
I feared it was the Empire's trap.
[03:36] ---
So please let me show you my appreciation now.
[03:42] ---
I-I can't accept that.
That isn't why I saved you.
[03:51] ---
After you saved me, I read
about you in the newspaper.
[03:55] ---
The Emperor's direct report had committed
a crime of breaking out a witch.
[04:01] ---
That story had spread widely,
even to the neighboring neutral cities.
[04:05] ---
Is that why you know my name?
[04:07] ---
Yes. And now, it is my turn to return the favor.
[04:11] ---
You lost your status and honor because of me,
so I will promise that and more.
[04:17] ---
I will guarantee your status and safety.
[04:20] ---
So please! Would you accompany me
to the Sovereignty?
[04:30] ---
Who are you?
[04:32] ---
I am a servant of the royal palace...
[04:37] ---
I do have a question.
[04:38] ---
Yes?
[04:39] ---
Why me?
[04:42] ---
If you're close to the royal family,
you must have many people under you.
[04:47] ---
I do not... I cannot trust anybody!
[04:57] ---
I'm sorry. I let my emotions
get the better of me.
[05:01] ---
I will come back.
I'm glad I got to see you today.
[05:23] ---
What should I do...?
[05:28] ---
Your Majesty.
[05:30] ---
We could not find anything.
[05:32] ---
I see.
[05:34] ---
However, I would like to offer a plan.
[05:36] ---
What is it?
[05:39] ---
If you would allow Lady Alice
to go on a long-distance trip...
[05:44] ---
Lady Sisbell is in a foreign nation, far away.
[05:46] ---
Since she cannot remain cooped up
in her room, she cannot hide anything.
[05:52] ---
If Lady Alice, her older sister,
talks to her alone, she may confide in her.
[05:58] ---
They are sisters, after all.
[06:03] ---
Alice, could I ask that of you?
[06:07] ---
Yes, Mother!
[06:09] ---
Rin, go make the arrangements.
[06:10] ---
Of course.
[06:14] ---
Sisbell, what are you up to?
[06:23] ---
What are you doing, Sisbell?
[06:26] ---
This is unlike you. You simulated
all this a number of times.
[06:34] ---
I will try again. I will not give up.
[06:44] ---
We received new intel from our ally.
[06:47] ---
A purebred witch,
[06:49] ---
a daughter of Queen Nebulis at that,
is headed to the independent nation.
[06:55] ---
By herself?
[06:56] ---
She only took her servant. Without guards,
she's as good as traveling alone.
[07:02] ---
What does our ally say?
[07:04] ---
That they'll give her over to the Empire.
[07:06] ---
What?
[07:08] ---
Is that true?
[07:09] ---
Perfect. Capturing a purebred is
our primary goal. We must not fail.
[07:16] ---
Shall we deploy the Object?
[07:18] ---
That witch-hunting weapon
cannot be tied back to us.
[07:23] ---
And nothing can stop it.
[07:28] ---
Let us start the witch hunt.
[07:35] ---
Ah, this is the life. What a treat
to have BBQ for breakfast.
[07:40] ---
When we were still in the Empire--
[07:42] ---
Stop talking and help, Boss.
[07:44] ---
Then I'll grill the meat!
[07:46] ---
Oh, not yet, Captain! You have to start
with veggies that take long to cook.
[07:51] ---
Here you go.
[07:52] ---
Aww, come on, don't spoil the fun!
Let's go ahead and grill the meat!
[07:58] ---
Right, Iska?
[07:59] ---
No, you can't. Right, Iska?
[08:09] ---
Something on his mind?
[08:15] ---
Thank you for coming, Elletear.
[08:20] ---
So could you elaborate on what
you said the other day?
[08:28] ---
The ones trying to get in touch
with the Empire...
[08:35] ---
...are my sisters.
[08:43] ---
You must excuse me.
I wasn't expecting that at all.
[08:48] ---
Coming to me with such a thing
will be disadvantageous for the Lou.
[08:53] ---
Are you sure you want to tell me this?
[08:57] ---
Yes. The future of the Sovereignty
is more important than the election.
[09:05] ---
I understand. I hear you loud and clear.
How can I be of assistance?
[09:11] ---
If my sisters plan to betray the Sovereignty,
it is my duty to stop them.
[09:18] ---
However, I may not be able to do
the right thing when the time comes.
[09:24] ---
My feelings towards them might
get in the way. That's why...
[09:29] ---
You want me to be the judge instead?
[09:39] ---
Lift your head up. It must've
been hard to carry all that weight.
[09:45] ---
I'll personally see to it to find out the truth.
[09:49] ---
Please take good care of my younger sisters.
[09:53] ---
Leave the rest to me, Elletear.
[10:02] ---
This desert creature has evolved considerably
to survive the harsh environment.
[10:09] ---
At the top of the pyramid is a large
beast we all know: the basilisk.
[10:15] ---
It's been years since I travelled without Rin.
[10:15] ---
But please don't be alarmed.
Even if we do encounter a basilisk,
[10:20] ---
we have a specialized hunter with us.
[10:30] ---
W-We're terribly sorry about that.
[10:34] ---
What's going on?
[10:36] ---
There are footprints ahead,
so please give us a moment.
[10:46] ---
E-Excuse me! You shouldn't leave--
[10:54] ---
It's not from a basilisk.
[11:00] ---
Smell of machine oil...
[11:08] ---
This doesn't look good.
[11:18] ---
Hey, Iska. Are we at the hotel yet?
I'm so tired, I can't take another step.
[11:25] ---
We're almost there.
[11:27] ---
I wouldn't have minded staying
at yesterday's hotel again,
[11:31] ---
but you're so careful to want
to change our lodging, Iska.
[11:36] ---
I'm being economical with our budget.
[11:38] ---
We can stay somewhere with the same grade
but cheaper if we leave downtown.
[11:44] ---
Something may happen again
if we stayed at that hotel...
[11:51] ---
I don't want to involve everyone.
[11:54] ---
Oh, hold up, Captain.
[11:58] ---
It's peeling off.
[12:02] ---
Oh, sorry! That's right, we need to
do something about this astral crest, too.
[12:07] ---
You won't figure anything out,
Boss, so just have fun.
[12:11] ---
That's so mean, Jhin!
[12:12] ---
Iska, Nene, and I brainstormed
and came up with nothing.
[12:17] ---
It's better to step away from it
and go back to the drawing board later.
[12:22] ---
We still have 60 days.
[12:25] ---
Yeah...
[12:28] ---
But if you're worried, I guess
we can go to the general market.
[12:33] ---
General market?
[12:35] ---
This is an independent nation.
[12:37] ---
It isn't the Empire or the Sovereignty,
so they have products from both.
[12:42] ---
Jhin, is the product we're
looking for what I think it is?
[12:47] ---
Yeah, the sticker Captain Shanorotte had.
[12:53] ---
We just need a similar product that has
been developed by the Sovereignty.
[12:59] ---
Even learning the manufacturing process will do.
[13:00] ---
You're so reliable, Jhin!
[13:02] ---
Then we'll hit the general market
tomorrow morning!
[13:14] ---
We're here.
[13:16] ---
I'll go exchange currencies for tomorrow,
so you guys go on ahead.
[13:21] ---
We're going out for dinner soon, so hurry back.
[13:24] ---
Roger that.
[13:28] ---
Iska, give me your stuff.
[13:31] ---
Oh.
[13:33] ---
Thanks.
[13:53] ---
She's not here.
[13:56] ---
Good evening, Iska.
[14:01] ---
What kind of magic trick did you use?
[14:03] ---
I said I would come back.
I will not be giving up.
[14:10] ---
Okay, but let's go somewhere else.
[14:24] ---
It was just today when I
decided to change hotels.
[14:29] ---
But you were already here before me.
[14:32] ---
Is this related to your astral spirit?
[14:36] ---
It is as you say.
[14:43] ---
My astral spirit has the ability
to display the past, like a video.
[14:48] ---
Today around noon, you called that hotel.
[14:52] ---
You repeated the room number
and when you could check-in.
[14:57] ---
I was able to replay every past event.
[15:00] ---
Wow... A rare astral spirit that
interferes with space-time, huh?
[15:05] ---
But is it okay for you to give me,
an Imperial soldier, such crucial intel?
[15:11] ---
It's my way of showing my sincerity.
[15:14] ---
Yesterday, I lied about one thing.
[15:18] ---
A lie?
[15:21] ---
My name is Sisbell Lou Nebulis IX.
[15:25] ---
I'm an official successor to the throne.
[15:29] ---
Nebulis?! She's Alice's sister!
[15:33] ---
You don't believe me?
[15:36] ---
No, I believe you.
That's why I'm so surprised.
[15:39] ---
But it makes even less sense. Why would
the queen's daughter want me?
[15:47] ---
Someone is after our queen's life.
Someone who's a descendant of the Founder.
[15:55] ---
But they're the same royal bloodline!
[15:58] ---
Yes. This person is not after the Sovereignty.
[16:03] ---
They're after something far more disastrous,
a change for the worse.
[16:09] ---
If the queen dies, the next move would be
a full-scale war against the Empire.
[16:17] ---
Both nations will fall.
[16:20] ---
That's their plan.
[16:21] ---
To drag the Sovereignty into war,
[16:23] ---
and seize on the confusion
to eliminate the royal family.
[16:27] ---
They're after you, too?
[16:30] ---
Yes. I learned of this plan
with my astral power.
[16:35] ---
However, I don't know who's behind this.
That's why I cannot trust anyone!
[16:46] ---
Iska, I want you!
[16:51] ---
Do you wish for death and destruction?!
[16:53] ---
A future in which both the Empire and
the Sovereignty destroy each other?!
[16:57] ---
Do you wish for such a doomsday?!
[17:01] ---
No.
[17:02] ---
That is why I ask of you to be my protector!
[17:05] ---
If I can defeat the evil going after the queen,
[17:07] ---
a full-scale war can be avoided,
the doomsday stopped!
[17:12] ---
I won't ask you to betray the Empire in spirit,
[17:14] ---
but I want you to change the future with me!
[17:25] ---
This isn't good... It took so long to get here.
[17:29] ---
The hotel Sisbell is staying at is...
[17:32] ---
Lady Alice?
[17:37] ---
I was right! It is you, Lady Alice!
[17:40] ---
Schwartz!
[17:43] ---
Wh-What a coincidence. Um...
[17:46] ---
Have you seen Lady Sisbell?
[17:49] ---
Huh?
[17:50] ---
I can't get a hold of Lady Sisbell.
[17:54] ---
She went off on her own, saying
she had something to do, but...
[18:08] ---
I'm with you. I absolutely don't want
an outright war between the two nations.
[18:14] ---
I'm glad you understand!
[18:16] ---
But I can't go with you.
[18:19] ---
What? What do you mean?
[18:22] ---
If the queen is killed, the Sovereignty
will fall into the traitor's hands!
[18:28] ---
Then a full-scale war between
the two nations will be unavoidable!
[18:33] ---
In order to avoid that--
[18:34] ---
That's the difference between us.
[18:36] ---
What?
[18:38] ---
It's not just the full-scale war I want to stop.
[18:41] ---
I want to resolve the 100-year-conflict
between the two nations.
[18:46] ---
B-But how?
[18:48] ---
Peace negotiation.
[18:51] ---
That's impossible! To forgive the Empire
for everything they've done?!
[18:55] ---
Our people will never forgive the Empire!
[18:58] ---
I know that. But my reason
for fighting is for that cause.
[19:09] ---
It's not just me.
[19:11] ---
There's someone close by within
the Sovereignty that you can rely on.
[19:16] ---
Who's--?
[19:17] ---
How disappointing.
[19:19] ---
This is such a heart-wrenching outcome, Sisbell.
[19:25] ---
Masked Lord?! Why are you here?
[19:28] ---
Just a vacation to escape the hustle
and bustle. Nothing odd with that.
[19:39] ---
He's that guy who kicked
Captain into the vortex...
[19:45] ---
What is odd is you, Sisbell.
[19:48] ---
Who is the boy standing next to you?
[19:51] ---
H-He's...
[19:52] ---
No need to lie. I've had a run-in
with that Imperial soldier before.
[19:59] ---
The queen will be devastated to learn
her daughter is connected to the Empire.
[20:05] ---
Don't jump to conclusions, Masked Lord!
I've not switched sides to the Empire.
[20:11] ---
It's the opposite. I want to
save our nation from a traitor.
[20:15] ---
You're the traitor.
[20:23] ---
So that's what this is about.
[20:26] ---
The Zoas do not care about the truth
[20:29] ---
as long as they have evidence to gain
the upper hand in the election.
[20:35] ---
You're free to think what you like.
[20:38] ---
It's too bad I have to capture you
for suspicion of treason.
[20:48] ---
Oh? You certainly are the queen's daughter
to still have the will to resist.
[20:54] ---
You won't go down quietly?
[20:57] ---
Chase her.
[21:02] ---
Masked Lord, was it?
Aren't you on the same side?
[21:06] ---
A traitor deserves no mercy.
[21:09] ---
Especially since she's connected
to an Imperial soldier like you.
[21:13] ---
You're not interested in her reasoning?
[21:16] ---
It doesn't matter. Betraying the
Sovereignty is a crime in itself.
[21:22] ---
Now, I'm going to ask you to disappear.
[21:28] ---
This is checkmate.
[22:04] ---
That's...!

[00:11] ---
A droid soldier from the Empire?!
What's it doing here?!
[00:17] ---
An unwanted guest...
No matter, go after Sisbell!
[00:23] ---
Stop!
[00:26] ---
You didn't think I'd let you go?
[00:35] ---
Sisbell can't escape, and you
can't accomplish anything alone.
[00:41] ---
She's from the royal family.
[00:43] ---
Don't you think she has a good reason
if she's talking to an Imperial soldier?
[00:48] ---
Her reasoning doesn't matter.
[00:50] ---
As a princess, just talking to
the likes of you is against the rules.
[00:56] ---
It's a serious crime that would dethrone her.
[01:02] ---
It's also a crime to make
so much noise at night.
[01:06] ---
Stop disturbing the neighbors!

"Beginning: Rise of a New World
Triggered by the Two"
[01:17] ---
Jhin?!
[01:18] ---
I was wondering what was up with you,
but you got tangled up with some thugs?
[01:23] ---
Hey, he's that guy!
That demon that kicked me!
[01:26] ---
Well hello, Captain. Doing well, I see?
[01:30] ---
Why are you here?
[01:32] ---
Unfortunately, I have a more pressing matter
and don't have time for chitchat.
[01:41] ---
Object?! Why has the Empire's
experimental weapon been deployed?!
[01:46] ---
Astral energy detected. Initiate screening.
[01:49] ---
One, two, three, four, five...
[01:55] ---
Six astral power readings.
[01:59] ---
Iska, it detected Captain's astral energy!
[02:02] ---
Shoot!
[02:03] ---
Initiating captivity of priority target,
Pure Blood 9LC.
[02:13] ---
Ignore it! We're only after Princess Sisbell!
[02:16] ---
Initiating elimination of obstacles.
[02:48] ---
It seems we have multiple unexpected guests,
but this works in our favor.
[03:00] ---
No, you won't.
[03:02] ---
I think there's been a misunderstanding.
[03:04] ---
We're only here to take
the Sovereignty's criminal back.
[03:08] ---
Why would the Empire try to protect her?
[03:10] ---
I don't care about that. You kicked
our boss down into the vortex.
[03:16] ---
That's why I want to pummel you into the ground.
[03:21] ---
Do it.
[03:28] ---
No more Mr. Nice Guy, huh?!
[03:32] ---
Are you serious?! This isn't a battlefield.
This nation is completely unrelated!
[03:37] ---
Not to worry. Everything will
be blamed on the losing side.
[03:45] ---
Take comfort in that and die.
[03:59] ---
Are you okay?
[04:00] ---
Iska?!
[04:01] ---
Iska, we need to stop it
before it sends the data!
[04:06] ---
Buy me some time!
[04:08] ---
Roger that!
[04:14] ---
It's hard!
[04:42] ---
I'm going to destroy that weapon. Stay back.
[04:44] ---
Wh-Why are you helping me?
[04:47] ---
You said you couldn't become my ally!
[04:51] ---
I have my own reasons.
There's a lot that I haven't told you.
[04:56] ---
But at the very least, I don't plan on
giving you up to it or the Masked Lord!
[05:08] ---
Iska, this isn't fair...
[05:11] ---
If you show me such niceness, I...
[05:19] ---
Nene!
[05:20] ---
The coordinates are entered! I'm ready!
[05:23] ---
Piercing Shot!
[05:39] ---
Did Nene cause that explosion?
[05:42] ---
Yeah. We need to hurry up and join them.
[05:45] ---
I agree, except I would be the one going.
[05:57] ---
Did you assume I can't teleport objects?
[06:04] ---
You won't be able to use
your sniper rifle anymore.
[06:08] ---
I don't need it!
[06:10] ---
What?!
[06:20] ---
I admire your quick thinking,
but you're unlucky.
[06:26] ---
I lost the evidence to prosecute Sisbell,
but it looks like the stars are on my side.
[06:36] ---
Jhin?!
[06:51] ---
Gasoline!
[06:53] ---
One hundred years ago, our great founder
turned the Empire into a sea of flames.
[06:57] ---
I'm recreating that moment.
[06:59] ---
Know that it is the avenging fire
by us astral spirits!
[07:09] ---
What's going on?
The fire astral art isn't working...
[07:14] ---
No, wait. Where's this wind coming from?
[07:25] ---
I see.
[07:26] ---
This wind... So an Imperial soldier
gained power from the vortex.
[07:32] ---
An interesting research subject indeed.
[07:36] ---
Shut it. Don't violate our boss
with your disgusting words.
[07:44] ---
Oh, well. It's time to call it quits.
It's not worth the pursuit anymore.
[07:51] ---
It was a fun evening.
I'll return the favor soon.
[08:01] ---
Y-You did it?
[08:04] ---
No, something's wrong.
[08:07] ---
Reject.
[08:10] ---
Shutting off primary energy supply.
[08:16] ---
Switching to secondary energy.
[08:21] ---
Wh-What is this weapon?!
[08:24] ---
This is different from the Object I know!
[08:26] ---
Iska, this light is weird! It's too strong!
[08:30] ---
It's not electrical or from fuel.
What exactly is this energy?!
[08:36] ---
It's the astral energy's light!
[08:38] ---
What?!
[08:40] ---
Object... What's hidden inside of you?!
[08:48] ---
Nene, take cover!
[08:51] ---
Life Form Integra.
[09:02] ---
Wh-What was that explosion?!
[09:04] ---
It's coming from where Iska is.
[09:11] ---
Reloading energy.
[09:14] ---
Directing to the core.
[09:17] ---
I-It can fire repeatedly?!
[09:19] ---
I won't let it!
[09:20] ---
Piercing Shot!
[09:24] ---
Unlocking all functions.
[09:33] ---
No way...
[09:35] ---
Nene, regroup with Jhin! The fire will be
disastrous if it continues to spread!
[09:40] ---
You need to evacuate
the people nearby quickly!
[09:42] ---
What? But what about you?
[09:44] ---
I'm going to stop it.
[09:48] ---
Okay.
[09:50] ---
Don't die, Iska!
[09:56] ---
What exactly are you...?
[10:09] ---
He's there fighting...
Sisbell, now's the time to believe!
[10:15] ---
Ready to launch.
[10:18] ---
Light! Replay the star's past!
[10:32] ---
Iska, now!
[10:34] ---
Sisbell?!
[10:35] ---
It's replaying a sandstorm
that occurred in this location.
[10:37] ---
But it's just a smokescreen!
[10:39] ---
That's enough!
[11:01] ---
Thanks.
[11:02] ---
Of course.
[11:03] ---
Operation failure.
[11:06] ---
Ejecting the core, Beast of Catalysc.
[11:09] ---
Get back, Sisbell!
[11:17] ---
Iska!
[11:27] ---
What is that...?
[11:35] ---
Embers are reaching this far?!
[11:38] ---
This is bad, Captain!
[11:40] ---
Hurry! Evacuating the people comes first!
[11:45] ---
Iska...
[11:47] ---
Sisbell!
[12:11] ---
I won't... end here...!
[12:18] ---
Ice Calamity: Flooding Snow Lights!
[12:29] ---
Alice?!
[12:33] ---
What are you doing here?!
[12:35] ---
Right back at you.
[12:39] ---
Give my sister back!
[12:49] ---
Vines!
[12:55] ---
Icicles!
[12:59] ---
Iska!
[13:00] ---
Right!
[13:10] ---
No way!
[13:18] ---
What in the world are you?
[13:24] ---
An astral spirit?
[13:26] ---
If that's the case, what does the Empire
plan to do with this weapon?!
[13:44] ---
Alice, your blossom!
[13:45] ---
Wh-What are you saying, Iska? That's my--
[13:50] ---
Now!
[13:56] ---
Bloom forth!
[14:06] ---
So lu reinen xel.
[14:08] ---
What language is that?
[14:10] ---
An astral spirit's?
[14:12] ---
Elmei shel feo mielles.
[14:31] ---
How much destruction is it going to cause?!
[14:34] ---
Iska, I want to fight you,
but now isn't the time.
[14:43] ---
This kind of destruction is meaningless.
The future I strive for isn't this.
[14:48] ---
Neither is the future I strive for.
[14:51] ---
Just for now, we'll join hands.
[15:01] ---
Let's do this!
[15:04] ---
Ris sia sohia ahz cia r-teo.
[15:12] ---
Pierce through!
[15:20] ---
Wall!
[15:28] ---
Ice Calamity...
[15:30] ---
Stars...
[15:34] ---
Ez xiss clar lefmihas xel.
[15:40] ---
Endless Fan and Sword Dance!
[15:43] ---
Awaken!
[16:10] ---
It's over!
[16:57] ---
We lost the Object's signal...
[17:00] ---
An unexpected setback.
[17:02] ---
It seems we need to watch out for
the Successor of the Black Steel.
[17:07] ---
We'll move onto the next stage.
[17:24] ---
Thanks.
[17:26] ---
Huh?
[17:29] ---
Ugh, no, this isn't right!
[17:32] ---
What am I saying? I don't want to
fight with you, I want to fight you!
[17:38] ---
You make it sound so bad.
[17:40] ---
But it's the truth! As a rival,
we really are going to settle this!
[17:45] ---
Sister...?
[17:47] ---
Sisbell! You're awake.
[17:56] ---
Sister.
[17:57] ---
Yeah?
[17:59] ---
You know Iska, don't you?
[18:01] ---
Huh?
[18:03] ---
I've been wondering about it.
[18:05] ---
What is your relationship with him?
[18:15] ---
Well, actually--
[18:16] ---
No, I don't know him at all!
[18:19] ---
Huh?!
[18:21] ---
Sister, it's too late to lie about it!
[18:24] ---
It's the truth. Right?
[18:30] ---
R-Right! I have no clue who she is, either.
[18:38] ---
I see. So you and Iska aren't acquaintances.
[18:44] ---
Right.
[18:45] ---
That's good.
[18:47] ---
Huh?
[18:50] ---
I've come to a conclusion!
[18:52] ---
Iska! You're the dream knight for me,
Sisbell Lou Nebulis IX, the next queen!
[19:00] ---
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What are you saying, Sisbell?!
[19:04] ---
This does not concern you, Sister.
[19:07] ---
She can't do this! Right?!
[19:10] ---
Huh? Um, well...
[19:14] ---
Iska!
[19:16] ---
Iska, where are you?!
[19:19] ---
Sorry, my friends are calling me,
so I'm gonna go...!
[19:24] ---
Hey, wait!
[19:26] ---
Iska! I will not give up! I give you my word!
[19:54] ---
So the Eight Great Apostles' experimental
weapon yielded an unexpected result.
[20:00] ---
Way to go, Issy.
[20:03] ---
Hmph. Anyway, where is the Emperor?
[20:07] ---
It's been a while since he set out.
He's probably enjoying his time.
[20:14] ---
Now... It won't be much longer
until they find out about that...
[20:29] ---
It's been a while since I felt this tranquility.
[20:34] ---
Imperial soldier... I've grown bored
of this world, but you intrigue me.
[20:47] ---
Who is it?
[20:52] ---
This energy... I didn't think
you'd come see me here.
[20:57] ---
It's you, isn't it, Emperor Yunmelngen!
[21:01] ---
Hey. I have something fun to tell you.
[21:15] ---
Welcome home, Uncle.
[21:18] ---
Thank you, Kissing.
It was quite a pleasant evening.
[21:23] ---
What about me?
[21:25] ---
It'll be good timing.
Let's prepare you for the election.
[21:35] ---
You called for me, My Queen?
[21:38] ---
I apologize for summoning you here.
I have a question for you.
[21:42] ---
Of course.
[21:44] ---
It was you who leaked intel about
where Sisbell was headed, am I right?
[21:53] ---
And another thing. Are you the real Elletear?
[22:07] ---
Lady Alice...
[22:22] ---
I wonder why we keep meeting
in situations like this?
[22:26] ---
I'd ask the same thing.
[22:29] ---
Anyway, pretend you don't know me
in front of people from the Sovereignty.
[22:34] ---
Even in front of my little sister.
[22:37] ---
Okay.
[22:39] ---
This is actually very exciting.
A secret just between the two of us.
[22:44] ---
Why are you enjoying this?
[22:46] ---
I-I'm not enjoying it!
[23:13] ---
Okay, then.
[23:16] ---
See you when I do.
