[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--

[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.

    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...
[01:06] ---
    "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!
[01:28] ---
    "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!

    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.

    There you are, Sisbell!
[01:05] Sisbell
    Can I help you, Alice?
[01:09] Alice
    We're going back to the Sovereignty!
[01:11] Alice
    After that battle, it's too dangerous--
[01:13] Sisbell
    I will not return.
[01:14] Alice
    Sisbell!
[01:16] Alice
    We're going back!
[01:17] Sisbell
    I will not!
[01:19] Sisbell
    I have a bodyguard.
[01:23] Alice
    A bodyguard?
[01:25] Alice
    You mean Schwartz?
[01:26] Sisbell
    It does not concern you, Sister.
[01:29] Alice
    Mother is also worried about you.
[01:31] Sisbell
    Then, could you deliver this letter to her?
[01:35] Alice
    Aren't you well-prepared?
[01:37] Sisbell
    Alice, you are my...
[01:40] Sisbell
    Rival!
[01:41] Sisbell
    To be the next queen,
[01:43] Sisbell
    and to have my knight in shining armor...
[01:46] Sisbell
    I will not give up!
[01:52] Alice
    W-Wait, Sisbell!
[01:54] Alice
    About your bodyguard,
[01:55] Alice
    you're not talking about Iska, are you?!
[01:57] Iska
    Ah.
[01:59] Jhin
    What's wrong, Iska?
[02:01] Iska
    Oh, uh, it's nothing.
[02:03] Nene
    Iska, Jhin, the battle we had hit the news.
[02:10] Jhin
    Just when we finally caught a break
    after so many near-death battles...
[02:15] Iska
    I'm so sorry...
[02:17] Jhin
    Why are you sitting on your heels?
[02:19] Iska
    It's my way of showing how sorry I am...
[02:21] Nene
    Blame the Sovereignty for attacking
    us outside of the battlefield.
[02:25] Jhin
    Of all the places, the witch Iska released
    a year ago happened to be here.
[02:30] Jhin
    What are the chances?
[02:32] Iska
    It really was a coincidence
    that we met in this nation.
[02:35] Jhin
    Of course it was.
[02:36] Jhin
    If it wasn't a coincidence,
    it means we were tailed.
[02:40] Jhin
    I don't remember screwing up.
[02:42] Jhin
    Anyway, if the Masked Lord is after
    that witch, I guess we'd be safe here.
[02:48] Iska
    She might've already left this nation
    to get away from Masked Lord.
[02:52] Jhin
    We can only hope.
[02:55] Jhin
    Hey, Boss isn't back yet?
[02:57] Nene
    Oh, I can go find her.
[02:59] Nene
    I think I know where she
    is, so I'll go get her.
[03:02] Nene
    OK, see you guys later!
[03:05] Mirabella
    It was you who leaked intel about
    where Sisbell was headed, am I right?
[03:10] Mirabella
    And another thing.
[03:12] ---
    Are you the real Elletear?
[03:18] Elletear
    You can't be serious, Your Majesty.
[03:21] Elletear
    Please don't joke with such a serious face.
[03:25] Mirabella
    I have assigned a top-secret
    mission to Sisbell,
[03:28] Mirabella
    since there was a suspicion that
    Alsamira was connected to the Empire.
[03:33] Mirabella
    For some reason, the Zoa also knew of this.
[03:38] Mirabella
    The royal family of the Sovereignty
    is not without domestic conflict.
[03:42] Elletear
    After all, we must compete for the
    election to be the next queen.
[03:46] Mirabella
    You understand the relationship
    of the three royal families?
[03:49] Elletear
    Of course.
[03:50] Elletear
    The Lou wishes to minimize the Sovereignty's
    casualties when fighting the Empire.
[03:55] Elletear
    Likewise, the Hydra has been a great
    advisor and supporter of the queen.
[04:01] Elletear
    But the Zoa is an extremist wanting to
    destroy the Empire no matter the cost.
[04:08] Mirabella
    The relationship between
    Zoa and Lou is difficult.
[04:12] Mirabella
    If you are indeed the real Elletear,
[04:15] Mirabella
    you would never inform the Zoa
    about Sisbell's destination.
[04:22] Elletear
    I can't do this anymore.
[04:24] Elletear
    Your Majesty.
[04:26] Elletear
    Or, shall I say...
[04:28] Elletear
    Your Majesty's imposter.
[04:31] Elletear
    Your replication is marvelous.
[04:34] Elletear
    You may have fooled Alice
    or Sisbell a bit longer.
[04:39] Elletear
    But, haven't we danced enough?
[04:44] Girl A
    H-How were you able to tell?
[04:48] Elletear
    Maybe because we have similar astral powers.
[04:51] Elletear
    Although yours is far superior...
[04:54] Girl A
    It isn't!
[04:55] Elletear
    I find myself envious.
[04:57] Girl A
    Ah...
[04:58] Mirabella
    Elletear. She was merely
    acting under my orders.
[05:01] Mirabella
    Forgive her.
[05:04] Elletear
    I had a lovely time.
[05:07] Mirabella
    It was to make sure you
    were not an imposter.
[05:10] Mirabella
    I had no doubt you would
    have seen through the act.
[05:14] Rin
    Lady Alice, please stop!
[05:16] Rin
    No running in the hallways!
[05:18] Alice
    But this is an emergency.
[05:21] Alice
    Your Majesty! I must speak to
    you about Sisbell immediately!
[05:25] Mismis
    Ah, this is the life.
[05:29] Nene
    I knew you were here.
[05:30] Nene
    What about your training?
[05:32] Mismis
    Hi Nene. I already finished.
[05:35] Mismis
    I worked up a sweat at the gym,
    and then swam a ton in the pool.
[05:39] Nene
    Captain...
[05:40] Nene
    I can see all of you.
[05:42] Nene
    You know, we call people
    like you an exhibitionist.
[05:47] Sisbell
    She's exactly right.
[05:48] Mismis
    - Huh?
[05:48] Nene
    - Huh?
[05:49] Sisbell
    You're fully exposed.
[05:51] Sisbell
    It's showing.
[05:54] Sisbell
    Your astral crest.
[05:57] Nene
    Hey, what are you doing?!
[05:59] Sisbell
    Oh, I'm so sorry. Luckily,
    I have just the thing.
[06:04] Sisbell
    The stickers made in the
    Empire are insufficient.
[06:06] Sisbell
    They are unable to hide the astral
    energy that is invisible to the eyes.
[06:11] Sisbell
    May I?
[06:15] Mismis
    Oh... W-Wait!
[06:19] Sisbell
    I shall wait for you at the cafe.
[06:22] Alice
    Elletear.
[06:24] Elletear
    I suspect it'd be difficult to
    talk about Sisbell with me here.
[06:28] Elletear
    After all, I am a "suspect."
[06:31] Elletear
    Please excuse me, Your Majesty.
[06:41] Mirabella
    Alice, what did you want to discuss?
[06:44] Alice
    I have a letter addressed to you.
[06:49] Mirabella
    We're in a bit of a predicament.
[06:52] Mirabella
    Sisbell is suspected of
    having ties to the Empire.
[06:55] Mirabella
    By Masked Lord, of all people.
[06:57] Alice
    Correct.
[06:59] Mirabella
    This is a perfect opportunity for the
    House of Zoa to try and win the election.
[07:03] Mirabella
    Though, why hasn't Sisbell returned?
[07:07] Alice
    She's taking another route, since traveling
    with me would attract attention.
[07:12] Mirabella
    I shall send my guards.
[07:14] Mirabella
    By the way, the letter mentioned that
[07:17] Mirabella
    Sisbell met the Imperial soldier who
    saved her a year ago, at Alsamira.
[07:23] Mirabella
    Do you know of this Imperial soldier?
[07:26] Alice
    No, I do not.
[07:28] Alice
    I haven't met him in Alsamira, or the
    battlefield, or in neutral cities.
[07:33] Alice
    Uhh, were there anywhere else, Rin?
[07:36] Rin
    It's probably for the best
    if you stopped talking.
[07:38] Alice
    So, Mother, I don't know anything.
[07:42] Mirabella
    Huh?
[07:43] Alice
    I don't know a thing about an
    Imperial soldier named Iska.
[07:47] Server
    Yes, ma'am.
[07:50] Sisbell
    Thank you for coming.
[07:52] Sisbell
    Captain Mismis,
[07:53] Sisbell
    Iska,
[07:54] Sisbell
    Nene,
[07:56] Sisbell
    and Jhin.
[07:58] Jhin
    We've heard about you.
[08:00] ---
    What do you want?
[08:01] Sisbell
    Wouldn't you like to sit down?
[08:03] Jhin
    Where would I sit?
[08:05] Sisbell
    Right here.
[08:06] Sisbell
    Or would you not want to sit with a witch?
[08:09] Jhin
    I'll sit with you or do whatever,
    if you have useful information.
[08:12] Jhin
    Tell us what you want, first.
[08:14] Iska
    Um, I thought you'd have left
    the nation already by now.
[08:17] Sisbell
    Yes, I plan on returning to the Sovereignty.
[08:21] Sisbell
    Along with you.
[08:23] Mismis
    - Huh?
[08:23] Nene
    - Huh?
[08:25] Jhin
    What?
[08:26] Sisbell
    I would like you to escort me.
[08:28] Sisbell
    Please fight off the astral power forces
    during my return to the palace.
[08:33] Mismis
    - What?!
[08:33] Nene
    - What?!
[08:34] Jhin
    Out of the question.
[08:35] Jhin
    If the command center finds out we're
    protecting the Sovereignty, we're done.
[08:40] Sisbell
    You're lying.
[08:41] Jhin
    What?
[08:42] Sisbell
    You don't want them to find out
    Captain Mismis is a witch.
[08:46] Iska
    You know about that?
[08:47] Sisbell
    Yes.
[08:49] Sisbell
    This is a special material called nebula.
[08:52] Sisbell
    The Empire does not have materials
    to hide astral energy yet.
[08:57] Iska
    Right...
[08:59] Sisbell
    You can have this sticker to conceal astral
    crests in return for my protection.
[09:04] Sisbell
    I am not asking you to betray the Empire.
[09:07] Sisbell
    It is the astral mages of the
    Sovereignty who are after me.
[09:12] Sisbell
    Is it unnatural for the Imperial army
    to fight astral mages, Captain Mismis?
[09:16] Mismis
    U-Um, well...
[09:18] Iska
    That's enough.
[09:18] Nene
    OK, we got it.
[09:20] Iska
    All right, Sisbell. You have a deal.
[09:23] Mismis
    Iska? Nene?!
[09:25] Iska
    We're all in agreement.
[09:27] Nene
    There's no way you'd agree to this, Captain.
[09:30] Nene
    But if we want to do it,
    that's another story, right?
[09:33] Jhin
    We won't do anything to the
    detriment of the Empire.
[09:36] Jhin
    We'll only fight back if
    the astral mages attack.
[09:39] Jhin
    If the Imperial army comes
    after you, you're on your own.
[09:43] Sisbell
    Very well.
[09:45] Jhin
    This is a business transaction.
[09:47] Jhin
    The contract is for 30 days.
    Are you good with that?
[09:50] Sisbell
    I am.
[09:52] Jhin
    One last question.
[09:54] Jhin
    Why are they after you?
[09:59] Sisbell
    If I do not return to the Queen's
    Palace, a full-on war will break out.
[10:05] Mismis
    A full-on--
[10:06] Sisbell
    An all-out war between the two
    nations would end the world.
[10:09] Sisbell
    That is why I want to go
    back as soon as possible.
[10:12] Mismis
    W-What are you talking about?
[10:14] Sisbell
    I am a retainer at the Queen's Palace.
[10:16] Sisbell
    Someone seeks to overthrow the current
    regime and start a war with the Empire.
[10:22] Jhin
    Lork Mask?
[10:24] Sisbell
    He is one of the suspects.
[10:26] Sisbell
    My goal is to find the traitor.
[10:30] Sisbell
    That is why they are after me.
[10:33] Sisbell
    I will take care of the bill here.
[10:36] Sisbell
    A token of our friendship.
[10:39] Jhin
    We didn't even order anything.
[10:41] Sisbell
    Shall we go, then?
[10:42] Jhin
    Did you hear what I said?
[10:44] Rin
    Lady Alice, should you be lounging around?
[10:48] Alice
    It's fine, I'm on a bed.
[10:49] Rin
    The problem is that this
    is Lady Sisbell's room.
[10:53] Alice
    I wonder what she's doing right now?
[10:57] Rin
    We will know soon enough.
[10:58] Rin
    Your Majesty's guards are on
    their way to provide protection.
[11:03] Rin
    Why the big "woe is me" sigh?
[11:07] Alice
    What's not to sigh about?
[11:10] Alice
    All these formal meetings I have to attend,
[11:13] Alice
    worrying about Sisbell as an older sister,
[11:16] Alice
    all the while worrying
    about Elletear as well.
[11:19] Alice
    I don't even have time to
    think about anything else.
[11:23] Rin
    You do skip many of those meetings though.
[11:26] Rin
    I apologize.
[11:28] Alice
    I also have to fight the Saint Disciples
    to protect the Sovereignty.
[11:31] Alice
    I'm sure I'll have to fight the strongest
    ex-Saint Disciple swordsman.
[11:35] Alice
    And there will be times when
    I'd fight WITH him as well.
[11:38] Alice
    And other times, we'd go to
    the opera, eat pasta, and--
[11:40] Rin
    You keep talking about that one swordsman.
[11:44] Alice
    I accept Iska as one enemy to another!
[11:48] Alice
    I will not show mercy when
    we meet on the battlefield!
[11:51] Rin
    That's right, Lady Alice.
[11:52] Alice
    Iska and I have no choice but to fight!
[11:55] Alice
    She has some nerve to say he's
    her one and only dream knight!
[11:59] Alice
    Wait, do you think she's
    with Iska right now?!
[12:03] Alice
    I won't be having that!
[12:04] Rin
    Lady Alice, please pull yourself together!
[12:08] Sisbell
    Everyone, please be on alert.
[12:11] Sisbell
    There's no telling where
    Masked Lord's assassins are.
[12:14] Nene
    You're too close to Iska!
[12:18] Sisbell
    Fate has brought us together.
[12:20] Sisbell
    I feel we would make a good
    master-servant relationship.
[12:24] Mismis
    W-W-W-W-What are you on about?!
[12:26] Mismis
    Iska is MY subordinate.
[12:28] Iska
    Wasn't I supposed to be your guard?
[12:30] Sisbell
    Oh, yes, that's right. I do apologize.
[12:34] Nene
    Iska is MY friend!
[12:36] Nene
    You can't just take him
    away without permission!
[12:38] Sisbell
    But am I not one of you right now?
[12:40] Mismis
    - Grr...
[12:40] Nene
    - Grr...
[12:42] Sisbell
    That's how reassuring
    this situation is to me.
[12:46] Sisbell
    Schwartz has been the only one on my side.
[12:52] Mismis
    J-Just this once, OK?!
[12:55] Nene
    I guess it can't be helped.
[12:57] Iska
    Sisbell, I just want to make myself clear.
[13:00] Iska
    Once this protection detail is
    over, so will be our relationship.
[13:03] Iska
    We'll be enemies on the battlefield.
[13:06] Iska
    You know this, right?
[13:08] Sisbell
    That is fine.
[13:10] Sisbell
    I appreciate it, even if it
    is just during the escort.
[13:15] Sisbell
    I am truly grateful that you are here.
[13:21] Schwartz
    I've chosen an indirect route to the
    Sovereignty to avoid Zoa's detection.
[13:28] Schwartz
    We should spend the night here.
[13:30] Sisbell
    Wise choice, Schwartz.
[13:32] Sisbell
    I am also hungry.
[13:35] Sisbell
    Iska,
[13:37] ---
    there are many restaurants here.
[13:39] ---
    Where would you like to eat?
[13:42] Iska
    We're your guards.
[13:44] ---
    We'll go where you decide to eat.
[13:46] Iska
    Anyway, if you're feeling better,
    could you let go of my arm?
[13:51] Sisbell
    That, I cannot do.
[13:53] Mismis
    This is just a mission,
    this is just a mission.
[13:53] Nene
    This is just a mission,
    this is just a mission.
[13:57] Jhin
    I'm sensing a pitch black
    murderous intent from you two.
[14:00] Sisbell
    I have an idea, Iska.
[14:02] Sisbell
    Try to guess my favorite food.
[14:05] Sisbell
    We shall have that for dinner tonight.
[14:07] Iska
    Your favorite?
[14:09] Sisbell
    You seem stumped.
[14:11] ---
    If this is too hard, I can
    make it a multiple choice--
[14:13] Iska
    Pasta.
[14:15] Sisbell
    That is amazing! How did you guess?
[14:18] Iska
    My gut instinct.
[14:21] Iska
    You two are sisters all right.
[14:26] Iska
    I wonder how Alice is doing?
[14:31] Alice
    Maybe I should've dragged her back with me.
[14:35] Rin
    Lady Alice,
[14:36] ---
    I apologize for disturbing you late at night.
[14:38] Alice
    What's wrong?
[14:40] Rin
    You have a guest. May I send him away?
[14:43] Alice
    Yes. It's ridiculous to visit
    someone so late at night.
[14:47] Alice
    Who is he, anyway?
[14:50] Rin
    It's Masked Lord.
[14:51] Masked Lord
    You have my sincerest apologies for
    this visit at an uncivilized hour.
[14:58] Alice
    What brings you here?
[15:01] Masked Lord
    Are you aware that Lady Sisbell
    may be connected to the Empire?
[15:07] Alice
    No.
[15:08] Masked Lord
    It's treason if she is indeed
    working with an Imperial soldier.
[15:13] Masked Lord
    It'll be the downfall of the
    Queen, and yours as a princess.
[15:17] Alice
    There's no way Sisbell is
    connected to the Empire.
[15:21] Masked Lord
    Is that so?
[15:23] ---
    Then you'll have no qualms about
    investigating this matter together?
[15:26] Masked Lord
    The results will speak for itself.
[15:30] Alice
    You have my cooperation.
[15:32] Nene
    Phew, we got into the Sovereignty.
[15:36] Sisbell
    As I have promised. There
    was no need for worry.
[15:41] Iska
    Is it really good that people
    can cross borders this easily?
[15:45] Iska
    What if they demanded an astral power trial?
[15:47] Sisbell
    I would have shouted at
    them to leave us alone.
[15:50] Sisbell
    Of course, it would have been a
    nightmare if they did find out.
[15:55] Sisbell
    But I am desperate as well.
[15:58] ---
    Our palace is a monster's nest right now.
[16:01] Sisbell
    I must protect the queen.
[16:02] Iska
    Monsters?
[16:04] Sisbell
    I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
[16:09] Sisbell
    What is it, Iska?
[16:11] Iska
    It's nothing. I just noticed that
    cafes are the same in every nation.
[16:16] Sisbell
    100 years ago, astral mages fled the Empire
    and founded the Nebulis Sovereignty.
[16:23] Sisbell
    Our roots have not changed.
[16:25] ---
    We share the same language and culture.
[16:29] Sisbell
    The only difference is that everyone
    in this city are astral mages.
[16:34] Iska
    Even that girl at the cafe
[16:37] Iska
    could be a threatening astral mage that
    could overpower Imperial soldiers.
[16:42] Iska
    That's why the Empire persecuted
    them as "witches" and "demons."
[16:54] Iska
    Security seems tight.
[16:55] ---
    Are they on a lookout for
    Imperial soldiers invading?
[16:58] Sisbell
    That is not it.
[16:59] Sisbell
    There is a province-wide patrol
    to track down a criminal escapee.
[17:06] Iska
    So it's not just the Imperial
    soldiers you need to worry about.
[17:08] Sisbell
    I am sure there are people who
    misuse guns at the Empire as well.
[17:12] Sisbell
    Likewise, not all astral mages are good.
[17:15] Sisbell
    This escapee is the worst of
    all, a demon named Salinger.
[17:21] Iska
    What?
[17:26] Sisbell
    Oh, Iska. What is on your mind?
[17:30] Iska
    A lot of things, but we need
    to focus on the here and now.
[17:36] Iska
    How are we going to reach the Central
    Province where the Queen's Palace is?
[17:40] Sisbell
    Precisely! This is where
    our true challenge begins!
[17:44] Alice
    What?!
[17:45] Alice
    She's on the move?!
[17:47] Rin
    My clothes...
[17:49] Alice
    So, where's Sisbell?!
[17:51] Rin
    She passed the border checkpoint
    and entered the Sovereignty today.
[17:56] Alice
    Her and Schwartz, just the two of them?
[17:58] Rin
    She's with four others who
    appear to be bodyguards.
[18:00] Rin
    Her explanation was that they were
    mercenaries hired in Alsamira.
[18:04] Rin
    I have nothing but admiration.
[18:06] Alice
    You mean Sisbell hired them?
[18:10] Rin
    Very impressive, Lady Alice.
[18:12] Alice
    What exactly are you talking about?
[18:15] Rin
    Your Majesty wishes you to go to
    Riesbarten to protect Lady Sisbell.
[18:21] Alice
    Me? But Masked Lord will tag along.
[18:25] Rin
    Her Majesty will hold a Three
    Founding Family conference tomorrow
[18:28] Rin
    to keep Masked Lord of the Zoa here.
[18:32] Alice
    That's our chance to leave, then!
[18:35] Alice
    Oh, but shouldn't I also attend the meeting?
[18:39] Rin
    Lady Elletear is also present right now.
[18:42] Alice
    You're right.
[18:43] Alice
    Honestly, I don't know what's on her
    mind, but she's still my little sister.
[18:49] Alice
    I have to help her.
[18:53] Sisbell
    We have just started.
[18:54] ---
    This is where the real mind game starts.
[18:58] Sisbell
    The moment I crossed the border, they
    were notified of my whereabouts.
[19:03] Sisbell
    Elletear, Alice, or both are traitors
[19:07] ---
    connected to the House of Zoa.
[19:12] Sisbell
    It is also highly likely that they
    joined forces with that monster.
[19:17] Sisbell
    If I am captured, I would
    be imprisoned or silenced.
[19:22] Sisbell
    Mother is the only one I can trust.
[19:26] Sisbell
    That is why I needed a protector.
[19:29] Sisbell
    I would do anything, even seduce
    him, to protect this nation.
[19:34] Sisbell
    Even if he thinks of me as a filthy witch.
[19:38] Sisbell
    But Mother, to be honest,
[19:41] ---
    I am relieved to have someone
    I can throw myself at.
[19:48] Sisbell
    Right now,
[19:51] ---
    all I have is Iska.
[19:56] Sisbell
    How great would it be if I
    could stay with him forever?
[20:02] Sisbell
    Please guide me,
[20:04] ---
    astral spirits.
[20:08] Jhin
    Where's your servant?
[20:10] ---
    It's still pretty early.
[20:12] Sisbell
    He just left for the Central Province.
[20:15] Sisbell
    Schwartz's astral power is
    suited for covert missions.
[20:19] Sisbell
    We should have an audience
    with the queen in two days.
[20:22] Sisbell
    Let's hide in this city while
    we wait for him to report back.
[20:26] Jhin
    All right.
[20:28] Sisbell
    As planned, Iska and I will stake
    out the South Altoria station.
[20:33] Sisbell
    If assassins are being sent in, they
    will likely use this railroad.
[20:37] Jhin
    A defensive strategy leaning towards
    offense to find the assassins, huh?
[20:41] ---
    But--
[20:42] Iska
    They know my face.
[20:44] Mismis
    Here, put this on, and good luck!
[20:49] Iska
    I guess I'll also be wearing this.
[20:51] Mismis
    Iska, you look cool!
[20:53] Nene
    You actually look smart.
[20:56] Iska
    That isn't making me feel good...
[20:59] Rin
    We'll be at the Riesbarten terminal's
    South Altoria station soon.
[21:04] Rin
    If Lady Sisbell were to go into
    hiding, it would be in this city.
[21:08] Rin
    Do you have an idea of where she might go?
[21:11] Alice
    If I did, this would be a lot easier.
[21:13] Alice
    You know she's always locked
    herself in her room.
[21:17] Alice
    I have no clue what she even likes.
[21:19] Alice
    Does she like cake? Pudding?
    I don't even know.
[21:24] Station Announcement
    We are now arriving at the 
    South Altoria station.
[21:26] Station Announcement
    Please ensure that you take all of 
    your personal belongings with you.
[21:27] Alice
    OK, let's go, Rin!
[21:30] Rin
    Yes, but please wait for me since
    this is quite heavy, Lady Alice.
[21:34] Alice
    It's going to be a challenge
    to find Sisbell.
[21:36] Rin
    Perhaps you can use your
    good luck to find her.
[21:40] Rin
    Just like you kept bumping into
    that swordsman so many times.
[21:44] Alice
    Iska's was a coincidence.
[21:45] Alice
    But you're right, it might be fun to
    imagine where Sisbell may stop by.
[21:50] Alice
    Over there!
[21:51] Rin
    Huh? You're not serious?
[21:54] Rin
    It's just a juice bar you
    see in every terminal.
[21:56] Alice
    With this many people,
    it's hot and humid here.
[22:00] Alice
    I think she'd want to quench her
    thirst with a refreshing juice!
[22:04] Alice
    We should also hydrate ourselves.
[22:06] Alice
    Come on, let's scope out the place!
[22:09] Rin
    You just want to drink something.
[22:11] Alice
    That's why I thought she would, too.
[22:15] Alice
    Aw, too bad. I guess she isn't here.
[22:18] Rin
    Of course she isn't.
[22:19] Rin
    Lady Alice, what would you like?
[22:22] Alice
    Hmm, let's see.
[22:23] ---
    Green smoothie, banana juice,
    fresh strawberry shake...
[22:25] Iska
    Excuse me, could I have one
    fresh strawberry shake,
[22:29] Alice
    OK, I've decided.
[22:29] ---
    and...
[22:31] Alice
    Melon soda with special coconut ice cream,
[22:31] Iska
    Melon soda with special coconut ice cream,
[22:34] Alice
    topped with whipped cream
    and enderflower syrup.
[22:34] Iska
    topped with whipped cream
    and enderflower syrup.
[22:38] Alice
    Huh?
[22:40] Iska
    Huh?
[22:43] Alice
    Wait...
[22:43] Iska
    Wait...

    Imperial soldier! Why are
    you in the Sovereignty?!
SIGN    Witch: War Between the 
    Sisters (AKA Alice Explodes)
[01:59] Iska
    Do I know you?
[02:01] Rin
    Ugh! Will this ring a bell?!
[02:03] Iska
    Oh, Rin!
[02:05] Alice
    What's the meaning of this?
[02:06] Iska
    W-Well, that's...
[02:09] Alice
    Oh my, he looks good with glasses on, too.
[02:13] Alice
    He looks sophisticated.
[02:15] Alice
    No, that's not the point!
[02:17] Alice
    Is this a mission with the Empire?
[02:19] Alice
    If so, I can't let it happen.
[02:21] Iska
    N-No, you've got it wrong, Alice!
[02:24] Server
    Order for a melon soda and
    a strawberry shake is ready.
[02:28] Iska
    Oh, that's me.
[02:29] Server
    Please be careful not to drop it.
[02:31] Iska
    Thank you.
[02:33] Iska
    This, uh... This isn't a mission.
[02:35] Iska
    It's actually against my will,
    so to speak, so, um, uhh...
[02:41] Alice
    What do I have wrong?
[02:43] Alice
    You can explain outside. Let's go.
[02:45] Warvick
    Lady Alice.
[02:48] Kisasage
    Thank you for coming.
[02:50] Alice
    Kisasage! Warvick!
[02:53] Alice
    Sisbell's protection detail.
[02:55] Kisasage
    Lady Alice, who is he?
[02:57] Alice
    Erm, uh, right, I was giving him direction!
[03:00] Alice
    He's lost, so I was just explaining
    to him where the exits are.
[03:04] Alice
    And, now you know.
[03:06] Iska
    Huh? Oh, yes.
[03:10] Alice
    We'll regroup at 9pm. Be
    ready to move by then.
[03:14] Warvick
    Understood.
[03:14] Kisasage
    Understood.
[03:16] Alice
    Rin.
[03:18] Rin
    The Imperial soldier headed towards exit 8.
[03:21] Rin
    Here, Lady Alice.
[03:23] Alice
    The number of drinks he ordered
    is also an important clue.
[03:25] Alice
    It means he's with one other person.
[03:28] Rin
    Likely a member from the Imperial army.
[03:30] Alice
    Perhaps her, Captain Mismis?
[03:33] Rin
    It's very possible.
[03:36] Alice
    Even if it is Mismis, we can't let
    the Imperial army infiltrate us.
[03:42] Rin
    Lady Alice, there he is.
[03:44] Rin
    How dare he stand in plain sight like that...
[03:48] Alice
    Something's wrong. Why isn't he running?
[03:52] Rin
    Could he be waiting for someone?
[03:54] Alice
    Hmm...
[03:56] Alice
    Huh?!
[03:57] Rin
    Hm?
[04:00] Alice
    Sisbell?!
[04:01] Sisbell
    I apologize for the wait.
[04:03] Sisbell
    Thank you for getting me a drink!
[04:05] Iska
    Sisbell, we need to go. Now!
[04:07] Sisbell
    Huh? What is it, Iska?
[04:10] Sisbell
    Why are you in such a hurry?
[04:11] Sisbell
    Wait a minute, Iska!
[04:14] Rin
    Purely from the look of things,
[04:15] Rin
    Lady Sisbell seems to have a connection
    with the Imperial army, but...
[04:19] Rin
    Incognito, she's not.
[04:21] Alice
    Sisbell... What are you up to?
[04:29] Alice
    Why am I so annoyed by this?
[04:32] Alice
    I'm tailing them because
    this is a serious matter.
[04:35] Rin
    Lady Alice, Lady Sisbell accepted her juice!
[04:39] Alice
    I can see fine.
[04:41] Alice
    It's like she's enjoying this!
[04:44] Rin
    Lady Alice!
[04:45] Alice
    Now what?
[04:47] Rin
    Their shoulders are about
    to touch each other!
[04:49] Alice
    W-Why are they so close?!
[04:51] Alice
    It's too close! He's an Imperial soldier!
[04:54] Rin
    Lady Alice, look!
[04:57] Rin
    Lady Sisbell has her arm around him!
[05:00] Alice
    J-Just hold on a minute! Can't she see
    that she's making Iska uncomfortable?!
[05:17] Rin
    Lady Alice?
[05:18] Rin
    W-What's wrong, Lady Alice?!
[05:20] Rin
    Your face is so red!
[05:22] Alice
    Well, this is a huge deal!
[05:24] Alice
    Iska is mine! So why is she doing this?!
[05:28] Rin
    Lady Alice, look!
[05:38] Alice
    W-W-W-What does she think she's
    doing in such a public place?!
[05:42] Alice
    I'm so envious...
[05:44] Alice
    No, I didn't mean that!
[05:45] Alice
    Anyway, Iska's surprised, too!
[05:48] Rin
    Lady Alice!
[05:51] Alice
    No, Sisbell. You can't... You can't!
[06:00] Alice
    This. Means. War.
[06:02] Rin
    Umm, Lady Alice...?
[06:04] Alice
    Rin, our biggest enemy wasn't the Empire.
[06:08] Rin
    My Lady?
[06:10] Alice
    I'm gonna turn her into an ice sculpture
    and sell her to a jewelry store!
[06:14] Rin
    You cannot! Please come to your senses!
[06:17] Alice
    L-Let me go, Rin!
[06:18] Rin
    I will not!
[06:19] Alice
    Mother will understand
    this duel was inevitable!
[06:23] Rin
    There's no way you're dueling her!
[06:27] Alice
    Fine. I suppose it wasn't on his lips.
[06:30] Alice
    The cream was on his cheek.
[06:32] Rin
    What?
[06:33] Rin
    Lady Alice, will you
    entrust those two to me?!
[06:39] Rin
    Good lord, Lady Alice.
    What has gotten into you?!
[06:43] Rin
    This was supposed to be over once Lady
    Sisbell was safely back in our hands.
[06:47] Rin
    I shouldn't have to calm
    Lady Alice to do that.
[06:49] Rin
    This is all your fault, Imperial swordsman!
[06:52] Iska
    Rin?!
[06:53] Rin
    Please don't make a scene.
[06:54] Rin
    Imperial swordsman, you shut up, too.
[06:57] Rin
    We've been looking for you, Lady Sisbell.
[06:59] Sisbell
    You're not in your usual clothes, Rin.
[07:02] Rin
    The Masked Lord is looking
    for you on a certain charge.
[07:07] Rin
    The Queen has put us on
    a mission to protect you.
[07:13] Sisbell
    I did not ask for protection.
[07:15] Sisbell
    Please tell Alice I said that.
[07:18] Rin
    Then, I just have one question.
[07:20] Iska
    Why am I here, right?
[07:23] Iska
    This is related to our captain.
[07:26] Sisbell
    Iska?!
[07:28] Iska
    It's better to clear up any misunderstanding.
[07:30] Iska
    Staying silent will only lead
    to suspicion for both parties.
[07:33] Sisbell
    All right. I will do the explaining, then.
[07:43] Salinger
    Delicious.
[07:46] Salinger
    That monster.
[07:48] Salinger
    It's been ages since we last saw each other,
[07:51] Salinger
    but then he just shoves this to me.
[08:00] Salinger
    Emperor Yunmelngen.
[08:04] Salinger
    What are you up to?
[08:08] Iska
    We're back.
[08:09] Mismis
    Welcome back!
[08:11] Mismis
    What happened to her?
[08:12] Iska
    This was all new to her
    and she wore herself out.
[08:16] Iska
    Jhin, can I ask you to
    hold down the fort again?
[08:19] Jhin
    Keep it within an hour.
[08:20] Iska
    Got it.
[08:22] Rin
    You came alone, as promised.
[08:24] Iska
    I did.
[08:26] Rin
    Where's Lady Sisbell?
[08:27] Iska
    She's fast asleep, exhausted.
[08:29] Iska
    I think someone wore her out
    with all the questioning.
[08:33] Rin
    In this case, Lady Sisbell
    only has herself to blame.
[08:36] Rin
    Asking Imperial soldiers to escort her...
[08:39] Rin
    There'll be an uproar
    if the public finds out.
[08:41] Iska
    We didn't ask for this.
[08:44] Iska
    We'd rather get our payment
    now and leave the Sovereignty.
[08:48] Rin
    That's between you and Lady Sisbell.
[08:51] Rin
    This will become a huge problem
    if this comes to light.
[08:55] Rin
    And if it does, we'll have to feign
    ignorance regarding Lady Sisbell's actions.
[09:00] Iska
    Turning a blind eye, huh?
[09:02] Rin
    I wouldn't have believed your story if
    Lady Sisbell's escort was anyone but you.
[09:10] Rin
    However, Lady Alice wants
    to hear it for herself.
[09:15] Iska
    Huh?!
[09:16] Rin
    You're going in by yourself.
[09:17] Iska
    Wait, what about you, Rin?
[09:19] Iska
    Ow!
[09:20] Rin
    Hurry up and go in.
[09:21] Rin
    I hope you'll be interrogated
    or even tortured!
[09:24] Iska
    Hold on, that sounds dangerous!
[09:26] Rin
    Lady Alice is extremely agitated right now.
[09:30] Iska
    Huh? Why's that?
[09:31] Rin
    No clue.
[09:32] Rin
    I just know that we need a human
    sacrifice to get her anger out.
[09:36] Rin
    And I don't want to be that.
[09:38] Iska
    I don't want to, either!
[09:40] Rin
    Shut up and just go!
[09:52] Iska
    U-Um, so...
[09:55] Iska
    Rin brought me here.
[09:57] Iska
    She said you wanted to hear
    from me what Sisbell had said.
[10:01] Alice
    That's not what I want.
[10:03] Iska
    Huh?
[10:06] Alice
    That's not why I called you here.
[10:11] Alice
    What's the meaning of this...?
[10:15] Alice
    What's the meaning of this?!
[10:16] Iska
    I have no clue what you're asking.
[10:23] Alice
    You were walking with her.
[10:25] Iska
    With Sisbell?
[10:26] Alice
    Yeah.
[10:28] Alice
    I saw you two.
[10:29] Iska
    Well, yeah.
[10:31] Iska
    We were doing some recon at the
    station, as part of the escort.
[10:36] Iska
    I get that this is unacceptable
    to both nations.
[10:40] Iska
    Is that why you're angry?
[10:43] Alice
    N-
[10:45] Alice
    N-No...
[10:47] Iska
    Alice, I don't want to upset you,
[10:50] Iska
    but I won't understand if you don't explain.
[10:55] Alice
    You were walking together.
[10:57] Iska
    What?
[10:58] Alice
    While holding hands...
[11:00] Alice
    Without me!
[11:03] Iska
    Yeah, because I'm her bodyguard.
[11:05] Alice
    You really should work on your tact!
[11:08] Iska
    Huh?
[11:10] Alice
    Fine, I'll spell it out for you.
[11:13] Alice
    It's not fair Sisbell's having all the fun!
[11:17] Iska
    What?
[11:18] Alice
    This is betrayal!
[11:20] Iska
    Betrayal to what?!
[11:21] Alice
    You promised you're mine, but you're
    letting her boss you around!
[11:26] Iska
    Our lives are on the line, so
    I don't see this as a betrayal!
[11:31] Alice
    But I'm not happy with it.
[11:33] Iska
    Well, if we stop being Sisbell's bodyguards,
    will you give us those stickers?
[11:40] Alice
    I-I can't do that.
[11:42] Alice
    I'm not going to just help
    the enemy out like that.
[11:45] Iska
    Then we have no choice.
[11:49] Iska
    Growling at me like that
    won't change anything...
[11:54] Alice
    You don't even care if I'm mad.
[11:57] Iska
    It'd be weird if I did.
[11:59] Iska
    We're enemies, after all.
[12:01] Alice
    I don't even feel like
    throwing a tantrum anymore.
[12:03] Alice
    I do feel a bit better, now that you're here.
[12:07] Alice
    I just want to make myself clear.
[12:10] Alice
    I'm not angry at you.
[12:13] Iska
    You're not?
[12:14] Iska
    Then you're also not mad with Sisbell, right?
[12:16] Alice
    Yes, it's Sisbell!
[12:18] Alice
    She's the one I'm super mad at!
[12:20] Iska
    You are?
[12:22] Iska
    What are you going to do?
[12:23] Alice
    Good question.
[12:26] Alice
    I summoned you here to get your testimony.
[12:29] Alice
    As the second princess of
    the Nebulis Sovereignty,
[12:32] Alice
    I reserve the right to
    prosecute lower princesses.
[12:36] Iska
    You can do that?
[12:38] Alice
    I'll make it a law once
    I'm back to the palace.
[12:41] Iska
    You're trying to force a prosecution!
[12:42] Alice
    I merely want to confirm
    what Sisbell did to you.
[12:45] Alice
    As your only rival, I have the right to know.
[12:50] Iska
    What's with the glasses?
[12:53] Alice
    I-It's a reenactment.
[13:00] Iska
    A-Alice?
[13:01] Alice
    You were holding hands,
[13:04] Alice
    like this.
[13:06] Alice
    D-Don't move!
[13:08] Alice
    This is what she was doing.
[13:12] Iska
    But you already saw this.
[13:14] Alice
    I need to actually experience
    it to understand.
[13:17] Alice
    Hmm, well... Your hand is rough.
[13:22] Iska
    You're acting weird!
[13:23] Alice
    This is a legit investigation!
[13:26] Alice
    T-This is scandalous!
[13:29] Alice
    A princess walking with an enemy
    soldier with her arm around him.
[13:33] Iska
    But Alice, you're doing the same thing...
[13:36] Alice
    I-I'm just verifying the facts!
[13:38] Alice
    Relationship between our princess and an
    Imperial soldier requires examination.
[13:44] Iska
    Examination?
[13:45] Alice
    Let's see, she was a lot closer to you.
[13:49] Iska
    Wait, what?!
[13:51] Alice
    L-Like this.
[13:53] Iska
    Wait!
[13:54] Iska
    Uhh, Alice, um, so... What are you doing?
[13:58] Alice
    R-Reenacting what my sister was doing!
[14:01] Alice
    It's not fair...
[14:03] Alice
    I mean, it's just so scandalous.
[14:05] Iska
    Then let go of my arm, Alice!
[14:08] Alice
    I can't do that!
[14:16] Iska
    What are you doing?!
[14:18] Alice
    I-I'm nervous!
[14:20] Alice
    You, my greatest enemy,
    being so close to me...
[14:23] Iska
    So just let go of my arm!
[14:25] Alice
    I don't want to let go.
[14:27] Iska
    Huh?
[14:28] Alice
    N-Nothing!
[14:31] Alice
    I just meant...
[14:33] Alice
    I was just trying to understand
    Sisbell's feelings!
[14:52] Alice
    Y-You know, Iska...
[14:55] Rin
    Are you all right, Lady Alice?!
[14:59] Rin
    On second thought, it's too dangerous
    for you to be alone with him!
[15:03] Alice
    Rin! I was having a moment!
[15:05] Rin
    A moment?
[15:06] Alice
    Um...
[15:08] Rin
    Lady Alice?
[15:09] Alice
    What is it?
[15:11] Rin
    It seems your skin is glowing.
[15:13] Alice
    I-Is it?
[15:15] Rin
    Did something happen?
[15:17] Alice
    No, nothing!
[15:18] Rin
    Your face looks red, too.
[15:20] Alice
    Y-You're just imagining things!
[15:23] Rin
    Lady Alice, please excuse me.
[15:25] Rin
    This isn't good, you've spiked a high fever!
[15:27] Rin
    You must rest immediately!
[15:29] Alice
    No, t-that's not true! I feel just fine--
[15:31] Rin
    Imperial swordsman!
[15:33] Rin
    How dare you pretend not to notice
    Lady Alice spiking a fever!
[15:38] Iska
    That's not what happened!
[15:39] Rin
    Silence, not another word! You've
    got two seconds to disappear!
[15:41] Iska
    You guys are the ones who told me to come!
[15:50] Iska
    I can still feel Alice's warmth...
[15:54] Iska
    Ugh, they've got everything wrong!
[16:00] Elletear
    I am so happy.
[16:03] Elletear
    By holding the conference last
    minute, we can keep the Zoas here,
[16:08] Elletear
    giving Alice the opportunity to find Sisbell.
[16:12] Elletear
    A daringly bold move to abuse
    an honorable conference.
[16:17] Elletear
    This is how a queen should be.
[16:20] Millavair
    Elletear, refrain yourself from
    making misleading statements.
[16:24] Elletear
    I apologize.
[16:26] Elletear
    However, it was a good way
    to pass time, was it not?
[16:29] Secretary
    Your Majesty, it's time.
[16:31] Millavair
    Shall we?
[16:38] Masked Lord
    Good-bye, House of Lou.
[16:43] Millavair
    Don't underestimate me!
    Legion of Divine Wind!
[16:49] Millavair
    Is everyone all right?
[16:51] Secretary
    Yes.
[16:52] Scribe
    We are all fine, but My Queen,
    we must stop your bleeding!
[16:56] Millavair
    I'm fine.
[16:58] Millavair
    It's red, but it's just superficial.
[17:00] Elletear
    That was a close call. You
    saved us, Your Majesty.
[17:06] Soldier A
    Your Majesty!
[17:07] Soldier B
    Lady Elletear! What was that?!
[17:09] Millavair
    Someone must've attacked us.
[17:11] Millavair
    Did you see anyone suspicious
    outside the door?
[17:13] Soldier A
    No!
[17:14] Soldier B
    We didn't see anything suspicious.
[17:16] Elletear
    Your Majesty, I think I heard a familiar
    voice at the moment of the explosion.
[17:22] Millavair
    What a coincidence, I, too, heard it.
[17:25] Elletear
    It sounded like the Masked Lord's voice.
[17:29] Scribe
    D-Dare I say, I heard it, too.
[17:31] Secretary
    Me, too.
[17:33] Millavair
    The conference will be canceled.
[17:35] Masked Lord
    My Queen, what's going on?
[17:39] Masked Lord
    I came here for the conference,
    but what happened?
[17:41] Millavair
    As you can see, we were attacked.
[17:43] Millavair
    Most likely from a heartless man
    aiming to assassinate the queen.
[17:48] Masked Lord
    Who was behind the attack?
[17:50] Millavair
    You, Masked Lord.
[17:52] Masked Lord
    I must've heard wrong.
[17:54] Masked Lord
    I don't understand.
[17:57] Millavair
    You can explain yourself
    during your testimony.
[18:00] Masked Lord
    I see, what an interesting twist.
[18:03] Millavair
    I will interview the House of Zoa my--
[18:05] Talisman
    Please wait, Your Majesty.
[18:08] Talisman
    As the head of Hydra, I look forward to
    the Three Founding Family conferences.
[18:13] Talisman
    However, this is disastrous.
[18:16] Millavair
    Lord Talisman.
[18:19] Talisman
    Nevertheless, you must take care
    of yourself first, My Queen.
[18:25] Talisman
    We cannot risk something happening to you.
[18:27] Talisman
    Treat her immediately.
[18:28] Medic A
    My Lord!
[18:28] Medic B
    My Lord!
[18:29] Millavair
    Who, then, will deal with the House of Zoa?
[18:33] Talisman
    I will.
[18:35] Millavair
    You?
[18:36] Talisman
    If you have concerns, we can have a
    recorder from the House of Lou be present.
[18:41] Talisman
    We can also look for the
    culprit at the same time.
[18:44] Talisman
    A serious incident like this may not
    be just the Masked Lord's doing.
[18:48] Talisman
    It's possible the House of Zoa or outsiders
    such as the Imperial army are involved.
[18:53] Talisman
    I'm counting on you, Vichyssoise.
[19:00] Vichyssoise
    Your Majesty, please leave this to me.
[19:04] Elletear
    I also agree with Lord Talisman's proposal.
[19:08] Millavair
    Elletear.
[19:10] Elletear
    Afterall, this is an assassination
    attempt on you, Your Majesty.
[19:14] Elletear
    We must mobilize all of the royal
    family's power to solve this case.
[19:19] Millavair
    Very well. Lord Talisman,
    Vichyssoise, would you assist us?
[19:24] Millavair
    The House of Hydra and Lou shall do
    everything in their power to resolve this.
[19:28] Talisman
    I'll make the arrangements right away.
[19:32] Millavair
    Is this really the Masked Lord's doing?
[19:36] Millavair
    It seems I will be needing Sisbell's help.
[19:39] Millavair
    With her ability, we can find the culprit.
[19:43] Millavair
    The enemy will also come 
    to the same conclusion.
[19:46] Millavair
    The next target will be...
[19:48] Millavair
    You must hurry, Alice.
[19:50] Millavair
    Bring Sisbell back home.
[19:53] Eight Great Apostles V
    This is quite an accomplishment, Risya.
[19:56] Eight Great Apostles W
    By implementing artificial astral 
    crests based on Omen's research,
[20:00] Eight Great Apostles W
    twelve units attempted to pass the border 
    checkpoints, with ten succeeding.
[20:06] Risya
    I, for one, was really nervous about it.
[20:09] Eight Great Apostles W
    One of the units actually made it to the 
    Central Province of the Sovereignty.
[20:14] Risya
    Just so you know, I don't want a bonus.
[20:17] Risya
    What I want is a vacation.
[20:19] Eight Great Apostles E
    You should ask the Emperor directly.
[20:22] Eight Great Apostles E
    You are not under our jurisdiction.
[20:25] Risya
    I had a feeling you'd say that.
[20:28] Risya
    So, did they get into the royal palace?
[20:31] Eight Great Apostles E
    They did not.
[20:32] Eight Great Apostles W
    However, something interesting 
    happened at the royal palace.
[20:37] Risya
    Yeah? That's news to me.
[20:39] Eight Great Apostles V
    Nebulis VIII was attacked.
[20:42] Risya
    Just to be clear, this wasn't
    the Imperial army's doing?
[20:46] Eight Great Apostles E
    Some of the descendants of the Founder 
    are unhappy with the current queen.
[20:51] Risya
    Would they do something that extreme
    just because they're unhappy?
[20:54] Risya
    Why don't you tell me already?
[20:57] Risya
    You have someone in the Sovereignty
    helping the Empire, right?
[21:01] Eight Great Apostles V
    Because of your accomplishment, 
    we'll tell you one thing.
[21:05] Eight Great Apostles E
    We do have someone who keeps in touch.
[21:08] Eight Great Apostles W
    That person is...
[21:10] Eight Great Apostles V
    A purebred called Subject E.
[21:15] Eight Great Apostles W
    Apparently it's got them rattled right now.
[21:18] Risya
    I can see how even a failed attempt on
    the queen's life would rattle them.
[21:24] Eight Great Apostles E
    Therefore, this is the perfect opportunity.
[21:28] Mei
    Hey, Risya. Staying alive?

    At the crack of dawn, a coup d'état
    took place in the royal palace.
[00:08] Nene
    An assassination attempt against
    the queen and first princess...
[00:11] Nene
    with many injured.
[00:14] Sisbell
    Such a barbaric act
[00:16] Sisbell
    is unforgivable!
[00:18] Jhin
    But those are the facts.
[00:21] Jhin
    Guards are patrolling even in
    far away provinces like this one.
[00:25] Jhin
    The whole Sovereignty is on high alert.
[00:28] Jhin
    Right now, the palace is the
    most dangerous place to be.
[00:31] Jhin
    You still wanna go back?
[00:38] Iska
    Can we go back after they find the culprit?
[00:41] Sisbell
    That is one option,
[00:44] Sisbell
    but I doubt they'll be caught.
[00:47] Iska
    Because the culprit is a
    member of the royal family?
[00:51] Jhin
    Could it be that masked guy?
[00:53] Sisbell
    I do not know.
[00:55] Sisbell
    However, I can find the culprit
    once I return to the palace.
[01:00] Sisbell
    Masked Lord knows this as well,
    so I find it hard to believe it's him.
[01:05] Jhin
    You can?
[01:06] Mismis
    Is that your astral art, Sisbell?
[01:09] Sisbell
    Yes. Essentially, I can play detective.
[01:12] Jhin
    I see. If you return to the palace,
    you can find the culprit.
[01:17] Jhin
    So the next target would be this
    so-called detective, not the queen.
[01:24] Sisbell
    Which is another reason why
    someone will come after me.
[01:28] Jhin
    You seem to be keeping your cool.
[01:31] Sisbell
    I believe in you all.
[01:33] Sisbell
    Please protect me until I reach the palace.
SIGN    Witch: Dance Between the Moon,  the Planet, and the Sun
[01:38] Alice
    This is insane! A coup in the royal palace?!
[01:41] Police 1
    Princess Aliceliese?!
[01:44] Alice
    The terminal hasn't been sealed off, right?!
[01:46] Police 2
    Correct! We've reduced the number of trains,
[01:48] Police 2
    but the Central Province
    express is still running!
[01:50] Alice
    Thank you.
[01:54] Alice
    Rin.
[01:56] Rin
    Lady Alice!
[01:57] Rin
    The departure time won't change even
    if we get there early.
[02:01] Alice
    How can we not hurry at a time like this?
[02:03] Rin
    I understand, but...
[02:06] Alice
    Rin, I'm making the right choice, aren't I?
[02:11] Rin
    Yes. You need to be with
    the Queen, Lady Alice.
[02:15] Rin
    It's ironic, but Lady Sisbell is in
    good hands with the Imperial swordsman.
[02:21] Alice
    I'm unhappy about Sisbell
    having Iska work under her,
[02:26] Alice
    but it's fine,
[02:28] Alice
    because I got to talk to him alone.
[02:31] Alice
    And I was just as close
    to him as Sisbell was.
[02:35] Rin
    Lady Alice.
[02:36] Alice
    It's not what you think! Th-That was...
[02:41] Millavair
    Alice.
[02:42] Alice
    Mother?
[02:44] Alice
    I'm so glad you're all right.
[02:46] Alice
    I heard there was a bomb in the Queen's Hall
    and that it was a close call.
[02:51] Millavair
    Not a bomb, but an astral art.
[02:53] Millavair
    We found no trace of gunpowder.
[02:56] Alice
    So we have a traitor amongst us.
[02:59] Millavair
    This works in our favor.
[03:01] Millavair
    While it is possible
    to detonate a bomb remotely,
[03:04] Millavair
    you must be within a specific range
    to use astral arts.
[03:07] Millavair
    The culprit must have been close by.
[03:10] Millavair
    If so, we can identify the
    culprit with Sisbell's power.
[03:13] Millavair
    Pain is inevitable when cleaning house.
[03:17] Millavair
    Alice, have you figured out her whereabouts?
[03:22] Alice
    Not yet.
[03:23] Millavair
    You must find her quickly.
[03:25] Millavair
    Please look after her.
[03:28] Alice
    Of course.
[03:29] Alice
    I'll talk to you later, Mother.
[03:32] Alice
    Please take care.
[03:35] Alice
    This makes me sad.
    I've never lied to Mother before.
[03:39] Rin
    Actually, you do it often.
[03:41] Rin
    Like when you want to skip the book club.
[03:43] Rin
    Saying you have a migraine
    is your go-to excuse.
[03:47] Alice
    Rin...
[03:48] Rin
    A slip of the tongue.
[03:50] Alice
    Since I have to act like I don't know
    where Sisbell is, you stay with her.
[03:56] Rin
    You never know when they'll
    target you next, Lady Alice.
[03:59] Rin
    Please be careful.
[04:01] Sisbell
    Everyone, I have great news!
[04:03] Sisbell
    Schwartz made it to the Central Province!
[04:06] Sisbell
    He should be able to get an
    audience with the queen by tomorrow.
[04:09] Sisbell
    Then we should be given
    a safe route to the palace!
[04:12] Jhin
    That's too many shoulds for my liking.
[04:15] Sisbell
    You're a mean person.
[04:17] Jhin
    I'm just saying, don't get
    too excited. Keep thinking.
[04:21] Jhin
    Think about what to do next
    if things go wrong.
[04:24] Sisbell
    I know that.
[04:29] Nene
    Are we going to patrol the perimeter today?
[04:32] Sisbell
    We shall wait until Schwartz
    makes contact with the queen.
[04:38] Sisbell
    Wh-What was that?!
[04:40] Mismis
    An explosion?!
[04:42] Jhin
    Maybe the same culprit
    who targeted the queen?
[04:44] Sisbell
    Th-Then we must track them!
[04:46] Mismis
    W-We're going after them?
[04:48] Sisbell
    No, I can track them from here.
[04:56] Sisbell
    Stars, show me your past.
[05:09] Vichyssoise
    Gotcha.
[05:20] Iska
    Sisbell!
[05:21] Sisbell
    You scum! All this to target me?!
[05:24] Iska
    Get down, Sisbell!
[05:32] Sisbell
    H-He can hit the mark from that distance?
[05:35] Jhin
    Your choice. Become Swiss cheese, or fall.
[05:41] Vichyssoise
    Crush them.
[05:46] Iska
    Wind?! No...
[05:47] Sisbell
    Gravity!
[05:49] Sisbell
    It's a variant of astral power
    that manipulates waves!
[05:59] Iska
    What...?
[06:05] Iska
    You...
[06:06] Vichyssoise
    Aww, you sliced my neck protector.
[06:11] Vichyssoise
    It's useless now.
[06:15] Vichyssoise
    You're pretty good for a
    mercenary hired last-minute.
[06:19] Vichyssoise
    Who could he be, Sis?
[06:22] Sisbell
    Vichyssoise?!
[06:25] Sisbell
    Once your attack comes to light,
    the House of Hydra's status will...
[06:29] Vichyssoise
    No one's gonna find out.
[06:31] Sisbell
    What?
[06:33] Iska
    Everyone, make sure you keep your distance.
[06:42] Iska
    Captain Mismis, take Sisbell
    and retreat right now!
[06:45] Nene
    Iska?!
[06:47] Mismis
    What is it?!
[06:48] Vichyssoise
    Did the "monster" you saw
    at the palace look like this?
[06:54] Vichyssoise
    Beautiful, aren't I?
[07:00] Vichyssoise
    Now, I don't have to worry about being seen.
[07:04] Vichyssoise
    Who needs the Lous when
    they've yet to defeat the Empire?
[07:09] Vichyssoise
    Goodbye, bloodline of Lou!
[07:17] Vichyssoise
    You sliced through the astral flame?
[07:19] Iska
    We won't give Sisbell up to you!
[07:19] Mismis
    This way!
[07:23] Sisbell
    Iska, you said you were a swordsman
    specialized in fighting astral mages!
[07:28] Sisbell
    Don't lose, Iska!
[07:33] Iska
    Yeah, I won't lose to an astral mage.
[07:36] Iska
    But even I've...
[07:38] Iska
    ...never gone up against something like this.
[07:46] Nene
    Sisbell, who was that witch?!
[07:50] Mismis
    Wh-What was she, exactly?!
[07:52] Jhin
    This isn't what we signed up for.
[07:56] Jhin
    We promised to fight off assassins
    from the Sovereignty, not a monster.
[08:01] Sisbell
    She's... Vichyssoise Alec Hydra,
    a girl the House of Hydra adopted.
[08:09] Sisbell
    She conducts inquisitions
    to bring criminals to justice,
[08:15] Sisbell
    but...
[08:16] Jhin
    You didn't know she was a monster?
[08:19] Sisbell
    If I had, I wouldn't have
    risked going after her!
[08:25] Jhin
    Fine. We'll talk about that monster later.
[08:33] Sisbell
    What are you doing?!
[08:36] Sisbell
    Don't touch me without asking for—
[08:39] Jhin
    You wanna run on your own?
[08:42] Sisbell
    No...
[08:44] Jhin
    Let's move!
[09:06] Iska
    Are you human?
[09:07] Vichyssoise
    Not sure. Define "human" for me.
[09:15] Vichyssoise
    Sis called you Iska. Who are you?
[09:19] Iska
    A hired bodyguard!
[09:21] Vichyssoise
    That's not what I mean.
[09:23] Vichyssoise
    The Saint Disciple of the Eleventh Seat,
[09:26] Vichyssoise
    Successor of the Black Steel—
    are you that swordsman?
[09:32] Vichyssoise
    The House of Hydra has
    endured many years of misery.
[09:36] Vichyssoise
    We know what the Imperial Army is up to.
[09:39] Iska
    You just want to control the Sovereignty.
[09:41] Vichyssoise
    What a simpleton.
[09:42] Vichyssoise
    I wouldn't have cast away my
    humanity for something so trivial.
[09:46] Vichyssoise
    Violet Belt!
[09:49] Iska
    Those aren't enough.
[09:50] Vichyssoise
    Huh?
[09:51] Iska
    I said, those aren't enough!
[09:55] Vichyssoise
    What kind of sword cuts
    through astral energy?
[10:01] Iska
    Beats me!
[10:03] Vichyssoise
    Praise of Mother Earth, Gravity Storm!
[10:08] Alice
    What's going on?
[10:09] Alice
    Is Sisbell under attack?
[10:12] Alice
    But Iska should be with her. Rin, too.
[10:15] Warvick
    Lady Alice!
[10:16] Kisasage
    You're safe!
[10:17] Alice
    Kisasage! Warvick!
[10:19] Alice
    You two work on evacuating the guests!
[10:21] Alice
    I'm going to go look for Sisbell!
[10:24] Warvick
    Understood!
[10:24] Kisasage
    Understood!
[10:26] Tryse
    Lady Alice,
[10:29] Tryse
    I have located Lady Sisbell.
[10:32] Tryse
    However, the police force has been
    taken hostage, and Lady Sisbell is hurt.
[10:38] Alice
    Go on.
[10:39] Tryse
    I'll take you to her.
    Please come with me, Lady Alice.
[10:45] Tryse
    Lady Alice?
[10:48] Alice
    I do have one question.
[10:50] Tryse
    We don't have time. She could be—
[10:52] Alice
    Who are you, exactly?
[11:00] Vichyssoise
    Gotcha.
[11:13] Vichyssoise
    You're good.
[11:15] Vichyssoise
    This'll be a nice warm-up before
    I crush the Zoas and Lous.
[11:18] Vichyssoise
    I'll crush you with my special attack!
[11:22] Iska
    What is that sphere?
[11:24] Iska
    It isn't reflecting light...
[11:27] Iska
    Is that a black hole?!
[11:29] Vichyssoise
    You got it, but a little too late.
[11:34] Vichyssoise
    Corpse Magic Bullet. Fire!
[11:39] Alice
    Did you think a princess like me wouldn't
    remember the face of each of my soldiers?
[11:45] Alice
    If so, you're sadly mistaken.
[11:49] Alice
    I know the name and face of every
    person that serves the House of Lou.
[11:55] Alice
    Sisbell must be safe.
[11:57] Alice
    If you had her, you wouldn't bother with me.
[12:02] Alice
    Now move.
[12:03] Alice
    A magician with their tricks
    revealed shouldn't stick around.
[12:10] Tryse
    You're very smart, Second Princess,
[12:14] Tryse
    and more importantly, beautiful.
[12:17] Alice
    Thanks, but I'm not looking for compliments.
[12:21] Alice
    I want you to get out of my way.
[12:23] Tryse
    I must decline.
[12:25] Alice
    A gun? Now?
[12:27] Tryse
    Goodbye, Princess.
[12:30] Alice
    I-Is that...?!
[12:38] Tryse
    I'd be a fool to take you head-on.
[12:45] Tryse
    Ah, my feet...
[12:49] Alice
    What a cold-hearted thing to do.
[12:52] Tryse
    Aliceliese!
[12:56] Alice
    It would've been a disaster
    if the hotel had collapsed.
[12:59] Alice
    Who knows how many casualties there'd be.
[13:03] Tryse
    She stopped the explosion
    right at that moment?!
[13:13] Vichyssoise
    Aw, you poor thing. You didn't get crushed?
[13:20] Iska
    I won't lose to an astral mage.
    No matter what.
[13:25] Vichyssoise
    You can rest easy, then.
[13:29] Vichyssoise
    I'm not an astral mage.
[13:31] Vichyssoise
    I'm on a whole different level.
[13:35] Iska
    That's not what I mean.
[13:38] Iska
    I'm saying I don't want to lose to you.
[13:43] Vichyssoise
    Hm?
[13:45] Iska
    I get that you're a monster.
[13:48] Iska
    But...
[13:50] Iska
    For all your boasting about
    you not being an astral mage,
[13:54] Iska
    the only power I can feel
    is that of an astral spirit.
[13:58] Vichyssoise
    What?
[14:00] Iska
    Of course you wouldn't understand.
[14:04] Iska
    No, not you!
[14:06] Alice
    You know what the Imperial
    Army calls me, don't you?
[14:13] Iska
    A normal human girl calls herself a witch,
    with self-depreciation.
[14:18] Iska
    But you have no idea how much
    resolve you need to do that.
[14:24] Iska
    That's why I don't want to lose.
[14:26] Iska
    Not to someone who's just physically strong!
[14:30] Vichyssoise
    Fire!
[14:40] Vichyssoise
    What?!
[14:41] Iska
    Vichyssoise!
[14:42] Vichyssoise
    Annoying little fly!
[14:46] Vichyssoise
    Come, astral flames!
[14:48] Iska
    Release!
[14:50] Tryse
    The Ice Calamity Witch...
[14:56] Iska
    The white sword can release the
    astral art that the black sword slices.
[15:03] Vichyssoise
    You'll see what a true nightmare looks like.
[15:07] Vichyssoise
    A monster far more terrifying than me.
[15:11] Iska
    Rin!
[15:11] Rin
    Shut up.
[15:13] Iska
    Huh?
[15:15] Iska
    What about me?!
[15:16] Rin
    Tsk, you're alive.
[15:18] Iska
    You sound so disappointed.
[15:21] Rin
    As far as I know, Vichyssoise was a
    normal human with a gravity astral spirit.
[15:28] Rin
    I don't know how she came to be
    that monster you just fought.
[15:31] Alice
    Rin!
[15:32] Rin
    Lady Alice!
[15:34] Rin
    Look! I've successfully
    captured the assassin!
[15:37] Rin
    It's all thanks to me!
[15:39] Iska
    You're lying!
[15:41] Alice
    Why are you here?
[15:43] Alice
    Where's Sisbell?
[15:44] Iska
    In my team's safe hands.
[15:47] Iska
    Anyway, I'm leaving her to you!
[15:48] Alice
    H-Hold on, Iska! Who're you...
[15:53] Alice
    Huh? Vichyssoise?
[15:55] Alice
    Is she the one behind the coup?
[15:59] Alice
    Wait, Iska. I just noticed
    something important.
[16:02] Iska
    Huh?
[16:04] Alice
    Why is she naked?
[16:06] Iska
    That's important?!
[16:06] Rin
    That's important?!
[16:07] Alice
    I-If I put my mind to undressing,
    I'd be much more captivating!
[16:12] Iska
    Wh-Wh-What are you talking about?!
[16:14] Rin
    Lady Alice, get a hold of yourself!
[16:19] Jhin
    Is that the Ice Calamity Witch?
[16:21] Sisbell
    Jhin, thank you.
[16:32] Mismis
    Everyone, be careful! It's slippery!
[16:36] Mismis
    I'm sorry!
[16:37] Salinger
    You little brat. Are your eyes just for show?
[16:41] Mismis
    I'm so sorry!
[16:42] Mismis
    I'll give you a discount ticket
    at this BBQ place as an apology!
[16:46] Mismis
    Wait, was this a restaurant in the Empire?
[16:48] Jhin
    Boss, who're you talking to?
[16:51] Mismis
    H-Huh?
[16:54] Salinger
    Just like thirty years ago.
[16:57] Salinger
    Millavair... The real monster
    will sink its teeth into your throat.
[17:05] Millavair
    Back then, I did not even feel the cold.
[17:09] Millavair
    Nor did I feel fear.
[17:12] Young Salinger
    Milla, you're not fit to be a queen.
[17:18] Young Millavair
    Why, Salinger?
[17:20] Young Millavair
    Why would you come here just
    to say something like that?!
[17:25] Young Salinger
    You're a fool.
[17:27] Young Salinger
    You can't be ruthless.
[17:30] Young Salinger
    You can't act like a witch.
[17:33] Millavair
    Let's not go there.
    That was thirty years ago.
[17:37] Millavair
    As a queen, I must focus on the
    battle between the Imperial Army
[17:42] Millavair
    and Alice winning the election
    to become the next queen.
[17:47] Millavair
    I am sorry, Elletear and Sisbell.
[17:51] Millavair
    I know you are both very talented.
[17:55] Millavair
    However, that does not complement
    the qualities of a queen.
[17:59] Millavair
    A queen must be strong.
[18:02] Millavair
    It will be the Lous who will
    win the election once more.
[18:06] Growley
    On, seems like you actually failed for once.
[18:10] Masked Lord
    You're being a little harsh, Lord Growley.
[18:16] Masked Lord
    The House of Hydra has shown its true colors.
[18:20] Masked Lord
    After being behind the scenes for 100 years,
    they're running for election.
[18:26] Growley
    Are they challenging us?
[18:29] Masked Lord
    Indeed.
[18:31] Masked Lord
    By framing me as the queen's assassin,
    they plan to eliminate us from the race.
[18:37] Masked Lord
    They must be confident they'll win.
[18:39] Growley
    We shall rise up in anger
    and retaliate with poise.
[18:46] Masked Lord
    The next election will no doubt
    be the toughest in history.
[18:52] Masked Lord
    Kissing.
[18:53] Kissing
    Hm?
[18:54] Masked Lord
    Soon, we'll ask you
    to take off that eye patch.
[18:58] Kissing
    Really?
[18:59] Masked Lord
    Yes, of course.
[19:02] Masked Lord
    You can use your powers
    to your heart's content.
[19:05] Masked Lord
    Let's cleanse the planet and sun
    before destroying the Empire.
[19:09] Masked Lord
    It's time for the moon to shine.
[19:16] Talisman
    I bet the planet and the moon
[19:18] Talisman
    have no doubt they'll win the next election.
[19:23] Talisman
    Good morning, Elletear.
[19:26] Elletear
    Good morning, Lord Talisman.
[19:29] Elletear
    Thank you for having me.
[19:32] Talisman
    Would you like some tea?
[19:34] Elletear
    Perhaps some hot water, then.
[19:37] Talisman
    I shall prepare you the finest
    hot water there is.
[19:40] Talisman
    By the way, your sister seems
    to have a very capable bodyguard.
[19:45] Talisman
    I never imagined Vichyssoise would fail.
[19:48] Talisman
    That was a small setback.
[19:50] Elletear
    A capable bodyguard?
[19:52] Elletear
    Iska, the ex-Saint Disciple.
[19:55] Talisman
    Iska?
[19:56] Elletear
    Wouldn't it be wonderful
    if that bodyguard became mine?
[20:00] Elletear
    Mother and Alice have strong astral power.
[20:03] Elletear
    Sisbell has a decent astral power
    and a strong bodyguard.
[20:08] Elletear
    And yet, I have nothing.
[20:11] Talisman
    Do I sense a little sibling rivalry?
[20:15] Elletear
    It's all about the spice of life.
[20:18] Elletear
    Envy, anger, lust...
[20:20] Elletear
    I wish to hold every intense emotion with me.
[20:25] Elletear
    Isn't that what it means to be a witch?
[20:30] Rin
    We're leaving. Please wake up.
[20:33] Alice
    I was up the whole night while
    they questioned Vichyssoise.
[20:39] Alice
    I haven't gotten a wink of sleep.
[20:42] Rin
    Oh, an Imperial swordsman!
[20:44] Alice
    What?! Where? Where is he? Where's Iska?!
[20:48] Rin
    I was kidding.
[20:50] Alice
    Rin, I'm leaving you in charge of Sisbell.
[20:54] Sisbell
    That's probably the vehicle
    taking Vichyssoise away to custody.
[20:58] Sisbell
    Iska.
[20:59] Iska
    Hm?
[21:00] Sisbell
    Was Vichyssoise a formidable opponent?
[21:04] Iska
    There was something eerie about her,
    besides her strength.
[21:06] Iska
    I guess it felt... off-putting.
[21:09] Iska
    Like I didn't know what I was up against.
[21:12] Sisbell
    Would you call that fear?
[21:15] Iska
    Sounds a little wimpy from a bodyguard, huh?
[21:18] Sisbell
    No.
[21:20] Sisbell
    I've seen another monster
    besides Vichyssoise before.
[21:25] Sisbell
    That was how I lost trust in the royal family.
[21:30] Sisbell
    That thing was more
    terrifying than Vichyssoise.
[21:33] Iska
    What?
[21:35] Sisbell
    I knew as soon as I saw it.
[21:38] Sisbell
    That thing was more evil
    and twisted than any human.
[21:45] Sisbell
    We're the same, Iska.
[21:47] Sisbell
    I'm still shaking from the night I saw it.
[21:51] Sisbell
    The Pitch-Black Monster.
[21:54] Sisbell
    There's a monster out there
    that can truly be called a witch,
[22:00] Sisbell
    and I just can't shake off my fear of it.
[22:04] Iska
    You've come a long way to find me,
    an Imperial soldier.
[22:09] Iska
    I think I can finally understand why.
[22:16] Iska
    Sisbell,
[22:18] Iska
    we'll make sure we bring you
    back to the palace safe and sound.

[00:01] Alice
    How could this happen?
[00:04] Alice
    First they targeted Mother,
    and now Sisbell...
[00:09] Millavair
    You did good work, Alice.
[00:13] Millavair
    Thank you for protecting Sisbell.
[00:16] Alice
    Mother.
[00:18] Alice
    Um... I'm here now, so...
[00:22] Millavair
    Yes, you are. It is reassuring
    to have you back.
[00:27] Millavair
    And where is Vichyssoise?
[00:29] Alice
    Captured and confined in the dungeon.
[00:32] Alice
    I have one other piece of
    confidential information for you.
[00:37] Millavair
    Vichyssoise has changed
    into a deformed monster?
[00:41] Alice
    Yes. The House of Hydra must've known this.
[00:45] Alice
    This means that they're behind the...
[00:47] Millavair
    The Hydras have denied any involvement.
[00:51] Millavair
    They claim Vichyssoise acted alone,
[00:53] Millavair
    and that the House of Zoa
    is behind that explosion.
[00:58] Alice
    If only we had concrete evidence...
[01:00] Millavair
    We can solve everything once Sisbell returns.
[01:03] Alice
    Have you already had an audience
    with Schwartz, Mother?
[01:03] Millavair
    When will Schwartz return
    to the palace, Alice?
[01:07] Alice
    Huh?
[01:07] Millavair
    What?
[01:09] Millavair
    Alice, what did you say?
[01:11] Alice
    According to Sisbell, he
    should already be here.
[01:15] Alice
    But he isn't...?
[01:19] Elletear
    Your Majesty. Oh, and Alice, too.
[01:24] Elletear
    I looked all over for you.
[01:26] Elletear
    You weren't in your chamber.
[01:30] Elletear
    Did Sisbell's servant come to you?
[01:34] Alice
    How do you know about that?
[01:36] Millavair
    Are you saying you know
    of Schwartz' whereabouts?
[01:40] Elletear
    No, but someone should go
    get Sisbell immediately.
[01:47] Millavair
    And who should we send?
[01:52] Elletear
    Well, me, of course.
[01:54] Elletear
    I would love to go pick
    up my sweet little sister.
[03:30] Sign
    Line of Descent: My Name is Elletear
[03:39] Iska
    I think it's from stress.
[03:41] Mismis
    Just when we thought we were safe
    after defeating Vichyssoise...
[03:46] Nene
    We find out that Mr. Schwartz is missing.
[03:50] Jhin
    The old geezer was supposed to see the
    queen and provide us with a safe route.
[03:55] Jhin
    Apparently, that plan has been thwarted.
[04:02] Mismis
    No, Sisbell! You need your rest!
[04:06] Sisbell
    I do not feel like sleeping.
[04:11] Sisbell
    They even targeted Schwarz...
[04:14] Sisbell
    They are despicable.
[04:19] Sisbell
    I must return to the palace at once.
[04:23] Nene
    You can't!
[04:24] Nene
    You still have a fever!
[04:26] Sisbell
    I must find who the culprit is.
[04:29] Iska
    I understand you want to get moving.
[04:31] Iska
    But I want you to trust us.
[04:35] Iska
    We'll bring you home.
[04:37] Iska
    We're almost there, aren't we?
[04:39] Sisbell
    Yes...
[04:40] Iska
    That's why we have to
    take care of your health.
[04:44] Iska
    You haven't eaten anything since yesterday.
[04:46] Iska
    We'll head to the palace once
    you're strong enough to eat.
[04:50] Sisbell
    Thank you for your concern.
[04:53] Sisbell
    I shall have something to eat.
[04:55] Iska
    What sounds good?
[04:57] Sisbell
    Something warm and easy to eat,
    gentle on a weakened body...
[05:01] Sisbell
    It must be easy to digest,
    but also full of nutrients.
[05:05] Sisbell
    A simple meal that brings out the
    full flavor of the ingredients.
[05:10] Mismis
    That's a tall order!
[05:24] Rin
    This is from last year.
[05:26] Rin
    And I snapped this one just now.
[05:31] Rin
    Why?! Why haven't I grown at all?!
[05:33] Rin
    Nevermind Lady Alice's...
[05:35] Rin
    At this rate, even Lady Sisbell's
    growth will surpass mine.
[05:47] Rin
    I-I can't do such embarrassing exercise...
[05:51] Rin
    No!
[05:52] Rin
    Hmph!
[05:53] Rin
    This is to realize my deepest wish!
[06:00] Rin
    Yes, Lady Alice?
[06:01] Iska
    Rin?
[06:03] Rin
    It's just you, Imperial swordsman.
[06:05] Iska
    You went from hot to cold
    in a split second...
[06:08] Rin
    What do you want? I'm busy.
[06:11] Iska
    Busy?
[06:12] Iska
    You told me to check-in regularly.
[06:15] Iska
    Are you on an important mission?
[06:18] Rin
    You could say that.
[06:21] Rin
    I'm on a mission where
    failure is not an option.
[06:29] Iska
    Is she mixing something?
[06:31] Iska
    Rin, what chemical are you mixing?
[06:33] Rin
    I won't answer.
[06:35] Rin
    This is a secret concoction
    that no one can know about.
[06:40] Rin
    With this, mine will become as
    devastating as Lady Alice's.
[06:47] Iska
    Devastating?
[06:48] Iska
    Is she making a bomb?
[06:49] Rin
    I should see the results
    in as early as 30 days.
[06:52] Iska
    Just 30 days?!
[06:54] Rin
    And it'll be both of them!
[06:57] Iska
    Wait, Rin! Something devastating
    can't be obtained so easily!
[07:01] Rin
    What do you know?!
[07:04] Rin
    Lady Alice's is incredibly huge...
[07:07] Iska
    Huge? I guess she means she's great?
[07:11] Iska
    I understand, Rin. You're right about Alice.
[07:14] Rin
    So, you understand?
[07:15] Rin
    As a perfect servant, I
    must follow her path...
[07:21] Iska
    But Rin, Alice is...
[07:24] Iska
    Perfectly happy with the way you are now.
[07:28] Alice
    Rin, I have a gift for you!
[07:32] Alice
    See, it fits perfectly!
[07:35] Rin
    Lady Alice!
[07:36] Rin
    I'll make this my family heirloom!
[07:40] Rin
    However, I cannot stop now!
[07:43] Iska
    Don't be hasty, Rin!
[07:47] Iska
    What exactly are you...
[07:53] Iska
    Huh?
[07:54] Rin
    I-I-I-I-Imperial swordsman!
[07:57] Iska
    Uhhh, what did you mean by "devestating"?
[08:02] Rin
    Get out!
[08:12] Iska
    What's with Rin?
[08:15] Iska
    Sisbell, food's ready.
[08:21] Iska
    Can you walk to the table?
[08:23] Sisbell
    Yes, I feel much better than I did before.
[08:29] Sisbell
    N-No, I'm in pain!
[08:32] Iska
    What?!
[08:34] Sisbell
    You must carry me to the living room.
[08:36] Iska
    A-All right.
[08:41] Sisbell
    Aw, is something the matter?
[08:44] Iska
    It's nothing.
[08:45] Sisbell
    Mine has grown larger than Rin's, you know?
[08:49] Iska
    Sounds like you're doing fine.
[08:53] Sisbell
    My throat...
[08:57] Iska
    Huh? I guess Captain and the
    others are on guard duty.
[09:04] Iska
    Here you go.
[09:06] Sisbell
    My hands are shaking too
    much to hold a spoon!
[09:08] Sisbell
    You'll have to feed me.
[09:10] Iska
    Your hands were fine just a moment ago.
[09:12] Sisbell
    Feed me now!
[09:14] Iska
    O-OK.
[09:22] Sisbell
    Now it's my turn.
[09:25] Sisbell
    Iska, say "ahh."
[09:27] Iska
    I thought you couldn't hold a spoon?
[09:30] Sisbell
    The soup is getting cold.
[09:34] Sisbell
    Come on!
[09:37] Iska
    Wait! You'll be risking your life!
[09:40] Sisbell
    Huh?
[09:41] Iska
    Nevermind. Just finish your food!
[09:48] Sisbell
    Stars, show me your past.
[09:53] Mismis
    This is just a video?
[09:55] Jhin
    This puts the Empire's hologram to shame.
[09:57] Sisbell
    Astral spirit of illumination can
    reenact past events as a video.
[10:04] Sisbell
    However, there is a certain distance limit.
[10:08] Jhin
    Meaning, you need to be at the palace
    to see who's behind the explosion.
[10:13] Sisbell
    Correct. They must have sent Vichyssoise
    because they were afraid of that.
[10:18] Sisbell
    She is from the House of Hydra.
    Talisman is the head of that family.
[10:23] Nene
    So the Hydras are potentially the mastermind?
[10:26] Sisbell
    Yes.
[10:28] Sisbell
    As we head to the Central Province,
[10:32] Sisbell
    we must be on high alert with them.
[10:35] Elletear
    It makes me sad, Mother.
[10:38] Elletear
    Ordering me to stay inside when all
    I wanted was to go pick up Sisbell.
[10:44] Elletear
    But since I'm such a bad girl...
[10:47] Elletear
    I get all tingly when I go
    against my parents orders.
[10:53] Millavair
    Alice, I did say it is
    reassuring to have you back.
[10:58] Millavair
    But I did not mean I wanted you
    to spend the night with me.
[11:02] Alice
    No, if the killer comes after
    you again, I'll protect you.
[11:09] Millavair
    Very well. Thank you for your concern.
[11:12] Millavair
    You are so much more dependable
    than I was at your age.
[11:16] Alice
    I-I'm sure that's not true...
[11:20] Alice
    Oh, this is...
[11:23] Alice
    We used to be so much closer.
[11:26] Alice
    Huh?
[11:28] Alice
    Is this...?
[11:29] Millavair
    That was when I was a member
    of the astral power forces.
[11:33] Alice
    I've never seen a photo of
    you when you were a princess.
[11:39] Alice
    Is this Salinger?!
[11:41] Alice
    But why?
[11:42] Millavair
    We used to be adversaries.
[11:45] Millavair
    Now he is a criminal that I do not recognize.
[11:49] Alice
    Is this really Salinger?
[11:52] Millavair
    Salinger steals astral spirits of others.
[11:55] Millavair
    He would try to steal mine,
    and I would fight him off.
[12:00] Millavair
    Over and over again.
[12:02] Alice
    Over and over?
[12:03] Alice
    How come you didn't arrest him?
[12:06] Millavair
    I guess I thought it was a shame to do so.
[12:10] Alice
    What do you mean?
[12:12] Millavair
    I wanted someone that I could go all out on.
[12:14] Alice
    Huh?
[12:15] Millavair
    Someone that would fight back
    even when I gave it my 100%.
[12:19] Millavair
    He was the strongest and
    rudest person I've known.
[12:23] Millavair
    A challenger, a rival...
[12:27] Alice
    We're the same... Mother, I feel
    the same way. I also wanted...
[12:32] Millavair
    That was a mistake.
[12:35] Millavair
    His desire for power was too great,
[12:38] Millavair
    resulting in his attack on the
    late queen to surpass her.
[12:43] Millavair
    I was the one that caught him.
[12:47] Millavair
    Him and I, we both aimed
    to master the astral art.
[12:51] Millavair
    Our relationship transcended our position.
[12:54] Millavair
    However, in the end...
[12:57] Millavair
    No, let's stop.
[13:02] Millavair
    Alice, did he say anything at Alcatroz?
[13:06] Alice
    Hm? Umm...
[13:11] Rin
    I apologize for the late call.
[13:13] Rin
    Lady Sisbell has left on the night 
    train headed to the Central Province.
[13:18] Rin
    The train will arrive at the 
    Central Province tomorrow morning.
[13:21] Millavair
    Rin, thank you for the report.
[13:24] Millavair
    I will send Warvick and
    Kisasage to the terminal.
[13:27] Millavair
    Meet them at gate four.
[13:29] Rin
    Understood.
[13:31] Millavair
    With Sisbell back, we can
    finally put this case to bed.
[13:37] Alice
    Will we really?
[13:45] Nene
    No problem in car four.
[13:48] Mismis
    Nothing in car two, either. Right, Jhin?
[13:51] Jhin
    First car is clear as well.
[13:53] Sisbell
    Look.
[13:55] Sisbell
    It's the Central Province.
[13:56] Sisbell
    And that light is...
[14:01] Iska
    The royal palace.
[14:06] Mismis
    This is the Central Province.
[14:08] Nene
    We're finally here.
[14:11] Sisbell
    The queen's bodyguards should
    be here at the station.
[14:14] Iska
    Our mission is over once you're
    safe in their hands, right?
[14:21] Sisbell
    I would like to give you what
    was promised before that.
[14:26] Sisbell
    The sticker to hide astral crests.
[14:30] Mismis
    But our escort isn't over yet.
[14:33] Sisbell
    Changing one's tune as soon
    as they get what they want.
[14:38] Sisbell
    I know you are not that kind of people.
[14:42] Sisbell
    This is my battle from here on out.
[14:46] Announcement
    We will soon be arriving at the 
    Saclaris Nebulica terminal.
[14:55] Mismis
    It's such a big station, but
    there's hardly anyone here.
[14:59] Mismis
    Is it because it's early?
[15:00] Jhin
    It's too quiet.
[15:02] Jhin
    I don't like it.
[15:04] Sisbell
    This way.
[15:07] Sisbell
    The bodyguards will be
    waiting for us at gate four.
[15:11] Sisbell
    We will--
[15:16] Sisbell
    I am so sorry, I was not looking--
[15:18] Elletear
    Oh, my.
[15:19] Elletear
    You should look where you're going, Sisbell.
[15:22] Mismis
    Wow, she's super pretty.
[15:25] Nene
    Yeah, she is. I wonder who she is?
[15:28] Sisbell
    Sister... Elletear...
[15:32] Iska
    What?
[15:34] Elletear
    Welcome home, Sisbell.
[15:37] Elletear
    I was so worried.
[15:40] Sisbell
    Worried?
[15:43] Sisbell
    The queen's bodyguards
    were supposed to be here.
[15:45] Sisbell
    Why are you here instead?!
[15:47] Elletear
    Well, you can't blame a sister for
    worrying over her sweet little sister.
[15:55] Elletear
    My name is Elletear. I'm
    Sisbell's older sister.
[15:58] Elletear
    Welcome to our nation.
[16:01] Elletear
    I understand that you are mercenaries
    from the independent nation of Alsamira.
[16:06] Jhin
    That's right. We were hired there.
[16:09] Elletear
    And here I thought you were the former
    Saint Disciple Iska and his unit.
[16:17] Sisbell
    Elletear?!
[16:18] Sisbell
    What are you saying? These people are...
[16:22] Elletear
    It would be disastrous
    if Her Majesty finds out.
[16:26] Elletear
    Who would have thought you were
    friends with the Imperial army.
[16:31] Sisbell
    T-That's not what this is!
[16:33] Elletear
    Same goes for the rest of you.
    Imperial soldiers, escorting a witch.
[16:38] Elletear
    If the Imperial army HQ finds out,
    you'd be in deep trouble too, yes?
[16:45] Elletear
    Your bodyguards have no
    choice but to listen to me.
[16:49] Elletear
    They're mine now.
[16:53] Jhin
    What do you want?
[16:55] Elletear
    I wish to thank you for saving my sister.
[16:59] Elletear
    I'd like to invite you to a relaxing
    time at Lou's vacation house.
[17:04] Jhin
    You mean you want to hold us
    prisoners so you can monitor us.
[17:09] Elletear
    We would have to question you, but you'll
    be returned if everything seems fine.
[17:14] Elletear
    You have no problem with this, Sisbell?
[17:19] Sisbell
    Uh, um....
[17:22] Elletear
    I have an idea!
[17:23] Elletear
    You should come to the vacation house, too.
[17:26] Sisbell
    N-No! I must return to the palace.
[17:30] Elletear
    Nope.
[17:32] Sisbell
    E-Elletear?! What are you--
[17:35] Elletear
    We're going to the vacation house together.
[17:38] Elletear
    A trip with just us sisters,
    isn't it exciting?
[17:42] Rin
    Taking the Imperial army to
    the Lou's vacation house?
[17:46] Rin
    Lady Elletear, I cannot help
    but be suspicious of you...
[17:52] Alice
    Mother, Elletear has taken Sisbell!
[17:55] Millavair
    I heard.
[17:57] Millavair
    Alice, you must head to the
    vacation house immediately.
[18:00] Millavair
    Protect Sisbell and bring
    her back to the palace.
[18:03] Millavair
    I had forbidden Elletear
    to go outside, but...
[18:08] Alice
    I understand. I can't
    believe Elletear would...
[18:12] Millavair
    There should be four guards that
    Sisbell hired at the vacation house.
[18:17] Millavair
    Please treat them respectfully,
    as they are from another nation.
[18:21] Alice
    I shall do just that.
[18:23] Alice
    Oh, no!
[18:24] Millavair
    A-Alice?
[18:26] Alice
    This means Iska will be at
    the Lou's vacation house.
[18:32] Alice
    If Iska goes into my room...
[18:33] sign
    °This is Alice’s delusion
[18:36] Alice
    I hid a pair of underwear in the closet 
    that I secretly bought out of curiosity!
[18:41] Sisbell
    T-This is amazing!
[18:44] Sisbell
    For such a tiny, thin piece of
    fabric, it is stretchy and soft.
[18:50] Sisbell
    I cannot believe Alice was
    wearing such a sexy underwear!
[18:55] Sisbell
    Iska, how do you feel about this?!
[18:58] Iska
    It's unfortunate. I thought you
    were better than this, Alice.
[19:03] Iska
    I was attracted to your innocence and purity.
[19:08] Iska
    But I was wrong!
[19:10] Iska
    I never thought you'd be on the battlefield
    wearing such a racy underwear!
[19:15] Alice
    No! I wear something else on the battlefield!
[19:19] Alice
    This is bad, Mother.
[19:21] Alice
    I promise I will stop whatever
    Elletear is up to at all cost!
[19:26] Millavair
    I am counting on you.
[19:28] Millavair
    I cannot shake off the feeling
    that Elletear is hiding something.
[19:32] Alice
    Yes! I must protect my secret!
[19:34] Millavair
    What?
[19:36] Alice
    Nothing! I'll be on my way!
[19:40] Millavair
    Alice, one more thing.
[19:42] Alice
    Mother?
[19:44] Millavair
    This time next year, you will replace
    me and become the queen of this hall.
[19:51] Alice
    Huh?
[19:55] Eight Great Apostles W
    The Sovereignty is in chaos from the 
    assassination attempt on the queen.
[20:03] Eight Great Apostles E
    Your mission is to take advantage of 
    this and ambush the Nebulis Palace.
[20:10] Newton
    Oh, this is splendid!
[20:12] Newton
    To experience astral power trial myself!
[20:17] Newton
    Hm? Where is Director Magnacasa?
[20:20] Garganly
    He's the operational commander
    back at the Empire.
[20:23] Garganly
    And your loud voice is too much.
[20:27] Newton
    Oh, I do apologize!
[20:31] Newton
    Let's see. Mei and Nameless should
    be in Central Province by now.
[20:37] Eight Great Apostles A
    The royal palace consists of four areas.
[20:39] Eight Great Apostles A
    The Queen's Palace with Lou, 
    Zoa, and Hydra surrounding it.
[20:45] Eight Great Apostles O
    You will get into position once you 
    arrive at the Central Province.
[20:51] Nameless
    Our main target is the queen, but 
    we'll likely engage other purebloods.
[20:57] Mei
    We'll hunt down every last one of them.
[20:59] Mei
    It's been forever since I've
    worked with you, Names.
[21:05] Mei
    The fun witch hunt is about to start.
[21:10] Nameless
    Class A target is the queen.
[21:12] Nameless
    Zoa's family head, Growley is Class B.
[21:16] Nameless
    We have Zoa's Kissing and Ice Calamity 
    Witch Aliceliese as Class C.
[21:22] Mei
    And only the House of Hydra
    is not to be attacked, huh?
[21:28] Mei
    It's crystal clear who's connected
    to the Eight Great Apostles.
[21:32] Mei
    Oh, there it is!
[21:35] Mei
    The Nebulis Palace.
[21:37] Mei
    Their impregnable fortress
    and absolute defense line.
[21:42] Mei
    Now, how we will we take it down?
[21:46] Eight Great Apostles W
    Show us the real power 
    of the Saint Disciples.
[21:49] Eight Great Apostles V
    Capture the queen, and end this 
    war with the Empire's victory.
[21:56] Risya
    All units have crossed the border.
[21:59] Risya
    They'll all arrive by tomorrow.
[22:02] Risya
    Johaim, you seem oddly comfortable
    in the Sovereignty's clothes.
[22:07] Johaim
    Is that so?
[22:09] Risya
    We're going after the queen, right?
[22:11] Risya
    You should be cautious.
[22:14] Risya
    Rumor has it the Ice Calamity
    Witch is right next to the queen.
[22:19] Johaim
    She's not.
[22:20] Risya
    What?
[22:21] Johaim
    The Ice Calamity Witch will
    leave the royal palace.
[22:24] Johaim
    The queen is on her own at the palace.

[00:02] Sisbell
    We're arriving.
[00:03] Mismis
    Arriving?
[00:05] Nene
    Huh? Isn't this just a field?
[00:07] Sisbell
    It's our yard.
[00:09] Mismis
    Yard?! But it's as big as a sports ground!
[00:17] Mismis
    Are you saying that...
[00:18] Nene
    This beautiful palace is...
[00:21] Sisbell
    Our vacation house, the Lou Erz palace.
[00:25] Mismis
    What?!
[00:25] Nene
    What?!
[00:28] Iska
    It's hundreds of times bigger than my room.
[00:31] Jhin
    Try not to think about it.
[00:32] Elletear
    Everyone, thank you for coming
    all the way down here.
[00:38] Elletear
    Welcome to the Lou Erz palace.
SIGN    Line of Descent: Three-Sister War (AKA Alice Has Had Enough)
[00:43] Elletear
    During this vacation,
    the palace will be your home.
[00:48] Masked Lord
    Imperial soldiers, how nice of you
    to willingly step into a trap.
[00:52] Masked Lord
    Prepare yourselves!
[00:54] Mismis
    That voice!
[00:56] Iska
    The Masked Lord!
[00:57] Jhin
    Is this an ambush?!
[01:00] Nene
    No one's here.
[01:02] Mismis
    Also clear.
[01:04] Sisbell
    That was you, Elletear.
[01:07] Elletear
    Was that a little too much,
    our guests from the Imperial army?
[01:13] Elletear
    But you must've been curious
    about my astral spirit.
[01:18] Jhin
    That voice was your astral art?
[01:21] Elletear
    Correct. It's just like a parrot
    mimicking a human voice.
[01:27] Elletear
    It must be the most useless astral power
    one involved with royalties can have.
[01:32] Elletear
    So, please enjoy your time
    here with an easy mind.
[01:35] Elletear
    My astral art cannot even harm a baby.
[01:40] Jhin
    Is that self-depreciation?
[01:42] Elletear
    That was not my intention.
[01:45] Elletear
    From the bottom of my heart,
    I'm glad this is my astral power.
[01:53] Elletear
    They are servants to the House of Lou.
[01:55] Elletear
    Yumilecia, Cystea, Nami, Ashe, and Noel.
[02:00] Elletear
    If you need anything, please ask them.
[02:06] Sisbell
    They're all astral mages, but none of
    them possess aggressive astral power.
[02:11] Iska
    So, they're not doubling as bodyguards?
[02:13] Sisbell
    It isn't normal for someone to be
    both a servant and a bodyguard.
[02:17] Sisbell
    Rin is just special.
[02:20] Iska
    Rin... Is she hiding?
[02:23] Iska
    I'm sure she must've been able to tail us.
[02:27] Iska
    Will Alice be here, too?
[02:31] Iska
    No, of course she wouldn't be...
[02:33] Nami
    Everyone, your rooms are ready.
[02:37] Yumilecia
    We'll show you to your rooms.
[02:39] Cystea
    But before we do...
[02:40] Noel
    Please hand over your weapons,
    communication devices, and such.
[02:46] Elletear
    This is just so you can enjoy your
    vacation without any distractions.
[02:52] Ashe
    Even though you're hateful Imperial soldiers,
[02:55] Ashe
    we invite you as guests only
    because of Lady Elletear's orders.
[03:01] Elletear
    Ashe, I invited these people as guests.
[03:06] Elletear
    Don't be rude.
[03:07] Ashe
    Of course.
[03:08] Elletear
    Please don't mix mud into their coffee.
[03:12] Nene
    You're giving her ideas in a roundabout way!
[03:14] Elletear
    If you're going to mix something,
    make it a detergent.
[03:17] Iska
    That's even worse!
[03:20] Alice
    I can't let them know...
[03:23] Alice
    What my secret is.
[03:27] Iska
    I wonder if they left shards of
    glass on the pillow or something.
[03:31] Iska
    The possibilities are endless.
[03:35] Sisbell
    Iska, are you all right?
[03:38] Iska
    Sisbell.
[03:39] Sisbell
    I came to check on you.
[03:42] Iska
    What are you doing?
[03:44] Sisbell
    I think your bed is safe.
[03:46] Iska
    From what?
[03:48] Sisbell
    Listening devices.
[03:49] Iska
    I never imagined I'd hear those
    words come out of your mouth.
[03:54] Sisbell
    I need to be on my toes, too.
[03:58] Iska
    Why bug my room?
[04:00] Sisbell
    For example, to capture the moment
    I reveal the Sovereignty's secrets to you.
[04:06] Iska
    Isn't Elletear's astral power capable of that?
[04:09] Iska
    Her power acts like a recording machine, right?
[04:12] Sisbell
    It's more a voice impersonation
    than a recording machine.
[04:15] Sisbell
    She can speak in the voice of those
    who she has heard in the past.
[04:18] Iska
    Meaning she can say whatever she wants?
[04:22] Sisbell
    Yes. Unlike my illumination,
    her ability is inadmissible as evidence.
[04:28] Sisbell
    All right, let's go, Iska!
[04:30] Sisbell
    We must find the listening devices
    and uncover what Elletear is up to!
[04:35] Iska
    What?!
[04:36] Sisbell
    This way!
[04:40] Iska
    It's clear this is your room, Sisbell.
[04:43] Sisbell
    It's a self-portrait I painted two years ago.
[04:47] Iska
    You're kidding?!
[04:48] Sisbell
    Why would I?
[04:50] Iska
    I thought it was painted
    by a professional artist.
[04:53] Sisbell
    Let's move on to Elletear's room.
[04:57] Iska
    Isn't this a photograph?
[04:59] Sisbell
    It's ironic.
[05:01] Sisbell
    Her conversational skills, education,
    gracefulness, and unmatchable beauty...
[05:06] Sisbell
    If she had a powerful astral spirit,
    she would've been the next queen for sure.
[05:11] Iska
    I thought all descendants of
    the Founder were powerful.
[05:15] Sisbell
    Elletear is an exception.
[05:17] Sisbell
    But she's extremely cunning.
[05:20] Sisbell
    Who knows what she's plotting.
[05:25] Sisbell
    It's locked.
[05:27] Sisbell
    Very well.
[05:29] Sisbell
    Let's finish up by checking Alice's room.
[05:31] Iska
    Alice's room, too?!
[05:33] Sisbell
    Her room is next to mine.
[05:36] Sisbell
    It's very possible to listen
    in from the next room.
[05:42] Sisbell
    This is it.
[05:44] Iska
    Um...
[05:46] Sisbell
    It's Alice's self-portrait.
[05:49] Iska
    Did Alice have three eyes?
[05:52] Sisbell
    I think she added it because she didn't
    like how the first one turned out.
[05:56] Iska
    Why does she have ten arms?
[05:58] Sisbell
    Those are her hair.
[06:00] Iska
    Oh, I get it! She's working
    in a surrealist art style.
[06:04] Iska
    She didn't just draw what's outside,
[06:06] Iska
    but she also captured her inner liberty,
    idealism, and...
[06:09] Sisbell
    She's just devastatingly bad.
[06:12] Iska
    U-Um, do I really need to go into Alice's room?
[06:16] Sisbell
    Of course.
[06:17] Sisbell
    How else will we find the bug?
[06:19] Iska
    Sisbell!
[06:21] Iska
    I'm not used to being inside
    a girl's room, but...
[06:27] Iska
    Trying to find a bug should be easy.
[06:34] Iska
    I'm not finding anything.
[06:36] Sisbell
    There's one other place we haven't looked.
[06:39] Iska
    That's her bedroom!
[06:42] Iska
    Hey... Sisbell...
[06:46] Iska
    Should we really be doing this?
[06:48] Sisbell
    I can't find it. But if it was me,
    I would hide it in this room.
[06:53] Sisbell
    There, that must be the place.
[06:55] Iska
    A-Are you sure?
[06:57] Sisbell
    My instinct says so.
[07:00] Sisbell
    I have a feeling we'll find something huge!
[07:05] Sisbell
    Th-This is...
[07:07] Iska
    What is it, Sisbell?!
[07:09] Sisbell
    It seems I've opened the forbidden box!
[07:14] Iska
    That isn't what we're looking for!
[07:16] Sisbell
    This is a significant discovery!
[07:17] Sisbell
    For such a tiny, thin piece of fabric,
    it is stretchy and soft.
[07:22] Sisbell
    I cannot believe Alice was
    hiding such sexy underwear!
[07:26] Sisbell
    Iska, how do you feel about this?!
[07:28] Sisbell
    Boing.
[07:29] Iska
    What's going through my head?!
[07:32] Sisbell
    I-Is this what it means to become a grown-up?
[07:36] Iska
    Why are you showing me this?!
[07:37] Sisbell
    This is the House of Lou's crisis!
[07:39] Iska
    What crisis?! What about the bug?!
[07:42] Sisbell
    Th-This is...!
[07:45] Sisbell
    I've known about Elletear, but to think
    Alice has grown so magnificent...
[07:51] Sisbell
    I smell a conspiracy!
[07:54] Iska
    I'm not so sure.
[07:55] Sisbell
    We must continue our investigation!
[07:57] Sisbell
    Iska, please secure this!
[08:00] Iska
    No, don't give it to me!
[08:09] Iska
    I need to keep my concentration.
[08:11] Iska
    No, I've got that wrong!
    I shouldn't be concentrating!
[08:14] Iska
    I shouldn't be holding this.
    I need to put it away.
[08:17] Alice
    May I have that back?
[08:18] Iska
    Yes, here you go!
[08:20] Alice
    Did you like how my underwear felt that much?
[08:24] Iska
    N-No, you've got it wrong! The fabric
    was so soft, I didn't want to—
[08:28] Iska
    Wait, Alice?!
[08:31] Alice
    What are you doing in my room?!
[08:36] Sisbell
    A-Alice?!
[08:38] Alice
    Sisbell!
[08:41] Sisbell
    No!
[08:44] Alice
    You didn't see anything.
[08:46] Alice
    Got it?
[08:48] Sisbell
    Got it!
[08:49] Alice
    And you, Iska!
[08:50] Iska
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[08:51] Alice
    You got it too, right?!
[08:53] Iska
    I-I got it.
[08:56] Rin
    Lady Sisbell! And an Imperial swordsman...
[08:59] Alice
    Rin, don't worry about him.
[09:01] Alice
    Sisbell, we need to return to the palace.
[09:03] Alice
    Mother's also worried sick.
[09:06] Alice
    There's an important task waiting
    for you back home as well.
[09:10] Elletear
    Oh my, everyone's here.
[09:13] Elletear
    I would love to join.
[09:15] Alice
    You must head back to the
    palace as well, Elletear!
[09:18] Alice
    Those are the queen's orders.
[09:20] Alice
    Now, let's go home!
[09:23] Elletear
    All right.
[09:24] Alice
    I see. I knew you'd refuse. Then I must...
[09:29] Alice
    What?
[09:30] Elletear
    All right, let's go home, Alice.
[09:32] Alice
    U-Uh?
[09:34] Elletear
    How...ever.
[09:36] Elletear
    I'll leave tomorrow.
[09:38] Elletear
    The servants worked hard
    to make everyone's beds.
[09:42] Elletear
    Dinner will also be ready soon.
[09:46] Elletear
    Alice, Sisbell, and our guests
    from the Imperial Army.
[09:50] Elletear
    Let's head to the guests' room.
[09:53] Elletear
    Now that I think about it,
    I haven't introduced her.
[09:57] Elletear
    This is my younger sister, Aliceliese.
[09:59] Alice
    I-It's nice to meet you. I'm the
    second daughter, Aliceliese.
[10:05] Mismis
    Oh? Have we met before?
[10:08] Mismis
    You! Y-You're the Ice--
[10:11] Rin
    Oh my, excuse me.
[10:12] Noel
    You must be extremely tired.
[10:13] Rin
    Please enjoy.
[10:15] Jhin
    Was our boss trying to say something?
[10:19] Iska
    That's what it looked like, but
    I thought I'd leave it alone.
[10:22] Elletear
    This is exciting.
[10:24] Elletear
    Three sisters under one roof,
    having a sleepover party.
[10:28] Elletear
    I'm so happy.
[10:29] Mismis
    Help me!
[10:32] Rin
    First of all, be quiet. Stop making a scene.
[10:34] Rin
    We won't hurt you if you do as you're told.
[10:38] Mismis
    W-What do you want?
[10:41] Rin
    Not a word to your team about
    Lady Alice being a princess.
[10:45] Mismis
    You mean Jhin and Nene?
[10:47] Rin
    Precisely.
[10:50] Sisbell
    Please don't mention me being
    a princess to anyone as well.
[10:54] Mismis
    U-Um, when you say princess, do you mean
    the Princess of the Nebulis Sovereignty?
[10:58] Sisbell
    Who else would we be?
[11:00] Sisbell
    If the Ice Calamity Witch, a princess of
    the Nebulis Sovereignty, is my sister,
[11:05] Sisbell
    naturally, that would also make me...
[11:06] Mismis
    Wait, does that mean that pretty
    lady Elletear is also a princess?!
[11:10] Mismis
    What?!
[11:11] Sisbell
    You hadn't put it together yet?!
[11:17] Alice
    I don't understand.
[11:19] Alice
    Why would Elletear keep Sisbell
    in this vacation house?
[11:27] Alice
    I'll stay behind as well.
[11:28] Alice
    Officially, to protect her...
[11:31] Alice
    But I have another reason.
[11:33] Iska
    You want to keep an eye on us,
    the Imperial soldiers.
[11:37] Iska
    Just so you know, we have no
    intention of causing trouble.
[11:41] Alice
    I know. I won't allow you to
    cause any trouble in our nation.
[11:47] Alice
    I can't, as a princess.
[11:51] Alice
    So, promise me.
[11:53] Alice
    Don't stir up trouble in our nation,
    and don't escape from this palace.
[12:01] Ashe
    Lady Alice?
[12:03] Alice
    What is it, Ashe?
[12:05] Ashe
    Is Iska with you?
[12:08] Ashe
    Lady Elletear has asked me to bring him to her.
[12:11] Alice
    Elletear did?
[12:13] Alice
    All right.
[12:14] Alice
    Iska.
[12:16] Alice
    Don't trust my sister.
[12:19] Alice
    You're my rival, and mine alone.
[12:25] Ashe
    Please enter.
[12:27] Iska
    It's Iska. I'm coming in.
[12:30] Elletear
    Please, come in.
[12:35] Elletear
    Thank you for coming.
[12:39] Elletear
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[12:41] Elletear
    I just finished taking a bath.
[12:53] Elletear
    I'm looking for comrades.
[12:56] Elletear
    No one from the Sovereignty will
    fight with me for the same cause.
[13:01] Elletear
    That's why I invited you here,
    former Saint Disciple Iska.
[13:07] Iska
    Me?
[13:08] Elletear
    Will you be mine?
[13:12] Iska
    I don't understand.
[13:14] Iska
    There must be plenty of suitable people
    in the Sovereignty who'll work for you.
[13:18] Elletear
    I wish to destroy the Sovereignty.
[13:21] Iska
    What?
[13:22] Elletear
    I want to crush the current Sovereignty
    and overturn it from the roots.
[13:27] Elletear
    Let's destroy it together.
[13:31] Iska
    Why would you...
[13:33] Iska
    If the queen finds out about this...
[13:37] Elletear
    Just kidding.
[13:38] Iska
    Huh?
[13:39] Elletear
    Me, the first princess, would never dare
    to dream of something so outrageous.
[13:45] Elletear
    I called you here out of curiosity.
[13:48] Elletear
    I didn't expect a Saint Disciple
    to break a witch out of prison.
[13:51] Iska
    You've looked into me.
[13:54] Elletear
    I heard about an odd duck in the Imperial Army,
    known as the Anti-War Berserker,
[14:01] Elletear
    who plans to capture a pureblood
    from the Sovereignty
[14:06] Elletear
    to force them to respond to a peace negotiation.
    You, the newest of the Saint Disciples.
[14:09] Iska
    I've only shared my goal
    with a handful of people.
[14:14] Iska
    Is she connected to someone from the Empire?
[14:17] Iska
    If so, then who?
[14:20] Elletear
    Eleven o'clock.
[14:22] Elletear
    That's the bedtime here at this palace.
[14:25] Iska
    So our conversation is also over, huh?
[14:28] Elletear
    Thank you for being quick to understand.
[14:32] Elletear
    This way, please.
[14:35] Iska
    What's the meaning of this?
[14:37] Elletear
    I don't have a bodyguard.
[14:40] Elletear
    That makes me anxious at night.
[14:43] Iska
    Uh-huh.
[14:44] Elletear
    So, it would be great if
    you would sleep next to me.
[14:48] Iska
    Next to you?! I can't!
[14:50] Iska
    For one, I'm in the Imperial Army!
[14:54] Elletear
    Seeing someone as strong as
    the Saint Disciple lose his cool like this...
[14:59] Elletear
    I'm kind of enjoying myself.
[15:03] Elletear
    Come, Iska.
[15:07] Sisbell
    What are you doing?!
[15:09] Elletear
    Oh, Sisbell?
[15:10] Sisbell
    Now you've done it, Elletear!
[15:14] Elletear
    What are you talking about?
[15:15] Sisbell
    You're messing with my Iska!
[15:18] Iska
    Your Iska?!
[15:20] Elletear
    But Iska is a guest I invited.
[15:24] Elletear
    That practically makes him mine.
[15:26] Iska
    Yours?!
[15:28] Sisbell
    Iska is a bodyguard I hired.
[15:31] Sisbell
    That means I have the right to sleep with him!
[15:34] Iska
    No, you don't!
[15:35] Elletear
    Oh, Sisbell. Seeing you talk back to me...
[15:40] Elletear
    I suppose it's my job as an older
    sister to praise you for growing up.
[15:44] Alice
    Hold on just a minute! What are
    you doing, Elletear?! Sisbell?!
[15:49] Elletear
    Sleeping together.
[15:49] Sisbell
    Sleeping together.
[15:51] Alice
    Sleeping together?
[15:53] Alice
    W-W-W-W-What are you saying, you two?!
[15:56] Alice
    You can't have Iska!
[15:58] Elletear
    But Alice, I thought this was
    the first time you met him?
[16:03] Elletear
    Besides, he's an Imperial soldier.
[16:05] Alice
    That's right, he is an Imperial soldier!
[16:08] Alice
    Sleeping together...
[16:09] Alice
    No, I mean,
[16:10] Alice
    all is well if I sleep with
    him to keep an eye on him!
[16:14] Iska
    Wait, um, I want to sleep in my room, by myself.
[16:18] Elletear
    I'm okay with the four of us sleeping together,
    since my bed is big enough.
[16:23] Elletear
    Are you okay with that?
[16:25] Sisbell
    I have no objection.
[16:27] Iska
    What about how I feel?!
[16:29] Iska
    Hey, you three sisters?!
[16:32] Alice
    We can draw to keep it fair.
[16:34] Alice
    Iska will sleep on the far left side of the bed,
    and we can determine our order.
[16:40] Sisbell
    I'll go first.
[16:42] Sisbell
    I-I'm in the middle...
[16:44] Elletear
    I'm on the right side...
[16:47] Alice
    I-I did it! I got the spot next to Iska!
[16:50] Sisbell
    Alice?
[16:53] Sisbell
    Alice, swap your spot with mine!
[16:56] Alice
    No way, it's already decided!
[17:05] Iska
    There's no way I can sleep...
[17:08] Iska
    Alice?!
[17:08] Alice
    Shh.
[17:12] Alice
    Iska, um...
[17:15] Alice
    I have my status as a princess to uphold.
[17:18] Alice
    Skin-to-skin contact is forbidden.
[17:20] Iska
    I'm not planning on doing anything.
[17:23] Elletear
    Oh, my, Iska. You're softer
    than I expected you to be.
[17:28] Sisbell
    What are you doing, Iska?
[17:31] Sisbell
    Why are you suddenly hugging me?
[17:35] Alice
    I-I'm sorry.
[17:36] Iska
    I'm fine, but, Alice, uh...
[17:40] Iska
    If you could give me some space...
[17:41] Alice
    I would if I could, but Sisbell's
    kicking me, and I can't.
[17:46] Iska
    Kicking in her sleep?!
[17:51] Iska
    I can clearly hear Alice's breath.
[17:57] Iska
    Where are you touching?!
[17:59] Alice
    Wow, you have a slight build,
    but you're actually muscular.
[18:04] Iska
    Didn't you just say no skin-to-skin contact?!
[18:08] Alice
    Th-This is out of my control!
[18:11] Alice
    Besides, you're wearing clothes, so it's okay.
[18:15] Alice
    W-Well, then...
[18:17] Alice
    D-Do you want to touch mine?
[18:20] Iska
    What?
[18:21] Alice
    Since I'm touching you,
[18:24] Alice
    it wouldn't be fair if you didn't touch me.
[18:27] Alice
    C-Come on...
[18:29] Alice
    If you want to touch me, then I'll tolerate it.
[18:34] Iska
    You make it sound like I'm a pervert.
[18:37] Alice
    I want to fight you fair and square.
[18:41] Alice
    In any situation.
[18:53] Alice
    Oh, but now that I think about it...
[18:54] Iska
    Hm? What is it?
[18:56] Alice
    You saw it.
[18:57] Iska
    Saw what?
[18:58] Alice
    My underwear.
[19:00] Alice
    You were grasping it so tightly.
[19:02] Iska
    That was a misunderstanding!
[19:04] Alice
    We should be equals.
[19:06] Alice
    As a rival, I think I have a right
    to look at your underwear, too!
[19:11] Iska
    Hold on, Alice!
[19:13] Alice
    Show me, Iska!
[19:15] Iska
    Alice!
[19:16] Iska
    Come on, Rin, your master
    is losing it! Stop her!
[19:22] Rin
    Lady Alice, did something good happen?
[19:25] Rin
    Even your hair is glowing today.
[19:29] Alice
    It's nice for us three sisters
    to sleep together from time to time.
[19:31] Nene
    Nice shot!
[19:34] Iska
    All right.
[19:35] Iska
    What?
[19:37] Mismis
    Oops.
[19:37] Nene
    Oops.
[19:37] Rin
    I'm surprised. The Imperial swordsman
    isn't good at playing golf.
[19:41] Alice
    This is so frustrating! I'd teach
    him if I was with him right now!
[19:45] Sisbell
    Allow me to teach you.
[19:46] Alice
    Ah, Sisbell.
[19:47] Iska
    Oh, thanks, Sisbell.
[19:47] Alice
    I'll have to lecture her later.
[19:49] Rin
    Lady Alice, it's time.
[19:51] Alice
    Time?
[19:52] Alice
    Have you forgotten? Lady Elletear
    will be returning to the palace.
[20:00] Elletear
    Sisbell.
[20:03] Elletear
    I've come to say goodbye.
[20:05] Elletear
    I had a blast, Sisbell.
[20:07] Sisbell
    Elletear?
[20:09] Elletear
    You rarely come out in public.
[20:12] Elletear
    You're always with your servant and that's it.
[20:15] Elletear
    Speaking of...
[20:18] Elletear
    I heard Schwartz was kidnapped.
[20:21] Elletear
    It must be taking a toll on you.
[20:23] Sisbell
    "Schwartz was kidnapped"?
    How can she be so sure?
[20:27] Sisbell
    It's possible he was involved in an
    accident, or suddenly became ill.
[20:30] Sisbell
    I don't even know the exact
    reason why he disappeared!
[20:34] Sisbell
    This just proves that she's the
    one behind Schwartz's kidnapping.
[20:41] Sisbell
    It's you... You're the one
    who betrayed the Lous...
[20:45] Sisbell
    Elletear.
[20:47] Elletear
    Oh, my. What's wrong? You're shaking.
[20:50] Elletear
    You must be cold from the wind.
[20:53] Elletear
    Don't worry, if you stay put,
    your servant will come back.
[21:04] Talisman
    Seeing the sun shine at night is also beautiful.
[21:08] Talisman
    Now, shall we start getting ready?
[21:12] Masked Lord
    Elletear has returned to the palace just now.
[21:17] Growley
    I was convinced that when she was born,
[21:20] Growley
    she could never become a queen with an
    astral power that impersonates voices.
[21:23] Growley
    I was so sure that the House
    of Zoa would win the election.
[21:26] Growley
    We've been outwitted, On.
[21:29] Masked Lord
    Indeed.
[21:31] Masked Lord
    The House of Hydra explodes the Queen's Hall
[21:34] Masked Lord
    and Elletear impersonates my voice right before
[21:38] Masked Lord
    in order to frame me.
[21:41] Masked Lord
    However...
[21:42] Masked Lord
    I'm curious as to why a brilliant woman
    like her took such a heavy-handed approach.
[21:47] Growley
    You think there's something else?
[21:49] Masked Lord
    They may have another trick up their sleeve.
[21:53] Masked Lord
    There you have it, Kissing.
[21:55] Masked Lord
    If something is to happen,
    it'll be in the next few days.
[22:00] Jhin
    She's gotta be behind it.
[22:03] Jhin
    Your sister kidnapped that old geezer, Schwartz.
[22:07] Mismis
    Jhin! There's a better way to say it.
[22:11] Iska
    Why do you think she outed
    herself as the culprit?
[22:15] Jhin
    Probably to restrict her actions. She's
    basically telling her to stay put.
[22:20] Jhin
    So, what do you want us to do?
[22:23] Jhin
    Why are you returning our weapons?
[22:26] Sisbell
    In eight days, I'll return to the palace,
[22:28] Sisbell
    find the one behind the queen's assassination,
    and be done with it.
[22:32] Jhin
    Is that quick enough?
[22:34] Sisbell
    What?
[22:34] Jhin
    Something huge could happen during
    the eight days you stay here.
[22:41] Sisbell
    You think Elletear will do
    something in the next eight days?
[22:46] Jhin
    Exactly.
[22:47] Jhin
    Just be ready to return to
    the palace at any moment.
[22:51] Alice
    Something's wrong.
[22:53] Alice
    Iska and Sisbell won't come out of their rooms.
[22:57] Alice
    Are they avoiding me?
[22:59] Rin
    As for the Imperial swordsman,
    that's the way he should be.
[23:03] Alice
    It was around the time Elletear left...
[23:06] Alice
    Something's up.
[23:08] Rin
    Regarding Lady Elletear, there will be
    a hearing in the Queen's Hall at 11pm.
[23:15] Alice
    It's about to start.
[23:17] Millavair
    Elletear, have you ever
    been afraid of the night?
[23:22] Elletear
    No. Are you, Mother?
[23:27] Millavair
    A little bit.
[23:29] Millavair
    At this age, I'm beginning
    to fear the cold at night.
[23:34] Elletear
    Please don't say such a sad thing.
[23:38] Elletear
    We're still counting on
    you to stay as our queen.
[23:41] Millavair
    I'm not sad about my waning strength.
[23:45] Millavair
    My precious daughters are
    quarreling and fighting.
[23:49] Millavair
    That's what saddens me.
[23:52] Millavair
    Elletear, why did you take
    Sisbell to the vacation house?
[23:57] Millavair
    Even the explosion of the Queen's Hall.
[24:00] Millavair
    You used your astral power
    to frame the House of Zoa.
[24:04] Elletear
    Hold on, Mother!
[24:06] Millavair
    I wish I could believe you
    are not the culprit...
[24:10] Millavair
    However...
[24:12] Elletear
    Mother, please let Sisbell know
    that she can return to the palace.
[24:19] Elletear
    Right on time.
[24:25] Millavair
    No, it can't be...

[00:00] Alice
    The Imperial army is...
[00:01] Alice
    Attacking the royal palace...?
[00:03] Millavair
    We were caught off guard. I've
    yet to fully grasp the situation.
[00:07] Millavair
    All I know for sure is that
    the palace is under fire.
[00:13] Alice
    Rin! Quickly get the car ready!
[00:17] Rin
    Of course!
[00:18] Millavair
    If they are the Imperial army,
    how did they cross the border?
[00:23] Alice
    Mother, I'm heading back
    to the palace immediately.
[00:26] Alice
    Please be safe!
[00:28] Millavair
    I have no other intentions.
[00:30] Alice
    And at a time like this...
    I'll be there soon, Mother!
[00:37] Alice
    Could it be that the reason the Imperial
    army knew of my absence was because...
[00:42] Iska
    What's going on? You seem to be in such a hurry.
[00:47] Alice
    Was it you?
[00:48] Alice
    Did you secretly send in the Imperial army?
[00:52] Iska
    Alice?
[00:53] Alice
    I'm heading back to the palace right now.
[00:56] Iska
    What?
[00:57] Alice
    Promise me one thing.
[00:58] Alice
    I want to believe you had
    nothing to do with this.
[01:01] Alice
    So I want you to stay and wait here.
[01:04] Alice
    Not one step outside this palace!
[01:08] Iska
    Alice, what's going on?
[01:11] Alice
    Don't go outside!
[01:13] Alice
    I won't forgive you if you show any inclination
    that you're working with the Imperial Army!
[01:16] Iska
    What does that mean? What happened?!
[01:20] Alice
    Promise me.
[02:55] Salinger
    How boring. A coup, plotting
    to assassinate the queen?
SIGN    Line of Descent: Beginning of the End of Paradise
[03:01] Salinger
    Hydra's handiwork, yet again.
[03:03] Ornake
    I never thought you would help Millavair!
[03:07] Salinger
    Only I get to call the queen by her name.
[03:11] Salinger
    Everything's the same as 30 years ago, huh?
[03:15] Millavair
    Salinger! You... Did you attack the queen?!
[03:22] Millavair
    I trusted you! I never thought you'd
    be the type to do such a thing!
[03:29] Salinger
    Milla... No, Queen Millavair...
[03:33] Salinger
    You're the queen of this nation.
[03:35] Salinger
    Defend the ideals you hold dear
    to your heart with your life.
[03:50] Mei
    Wow, this is pretty solid stuff, Names.
[03:55] Mei
    You're 65 seconds late to be in position.
[03:58] Nameless
    They're heat resistant.
    An attack like this won't do much.
[04:03] Nameless
    Which is why I used incendiary bombs.
[04:06] Nameless
    Hence the 65 seconds.
[04:10] Mei
    I guess.
[04:12] Mei
    By the way, where's Johaim?
[04:14] Risya
    He's already on his way to the queen's palace.
[04:19] Nameless
    The queen's palace will be full of monsters.
[04:23] Nameless
    Don't mess up.
[04:25] Mei
    You think I'll have my guard down? Think again!
[04:28] Mei
    I'm gonna give it my all in this witch hunt.
[04:30] Mei
    Let's see what kind of monsters these
    descendants of the Founder are.
[04:38] Sisbell
    The Imperial army? It can't be...
[04:43] Mismis
    H-Hold on! I don't believe this!
[04:46] Nene
    Me either!
[04:47] Mismis
    We didn't know anything. W-We swear...
[04:51] Sisbell
    Yes, I have been watching you the whole time.
[04:56] Sisbell
    Please remember what my
    sister Elletear had said.
[05:00] Elletear
    Don't worry, if you stay put,
    your servant will come back.
[05:04] Jhin
    In other words, she wants us to look the
    other way when the palace is being invaded.
[05:08] Sisbell
    Elletear!
[05:10] Sisbell
    I... I do not know where your heart lies!
[05:15] Sisbell
    Are you trying to betray your motherland?!
[05:18] Sisbell
    Huh?
[05:19] Jhin
    Get down.
[05:20] Sisbell
    W-What are you doing?!
[05:22] Jhin
    Stay away from the window!
[05:24] Nene
    I heard an electronic sound with the gunfire.
[05:27] Nene
    Assault rifle TH, Type 87, I think.
    That's an Imperial gun.
[05:33] Iska
    This palace is also under attack.
    It's not just the royal palace.
[05:37] Sisbell
    T-This can't be true!
[05:40] Jhin
    Stop yapping and be quiet.
[05:42] Jhin
    Boss.
[05:43] Mismis
    Yup!
[05:44] Jhin
    Iska.
[05:45] Iska
    Got it!
[05:48] Iska
    Wait! We're from the Imperial army, too!
[05:51] Jhin
    Move, Iska! They aren't Imperial soldiers.
[05:56] Sisbell
    No mercy, not even for your
    fellow soldiers, I see.
[05:59] Jhin
    I told you, they're not Imperial soldiers.
[06:02] Jhin
    Assault rifle TH, Type 87 is standard
    issue for Imperial soldiers,
[06:08] Jhin
    but the center of gravity is actually at
    the muzzle, making it tricky to shoot.
[06:12] Jhin
    These guys didn't know that. One look
    at the stance and it's clear as day.
[06:16] Nene
    Iska! Jhin! Look at this!
[06:20] Nene
    He has an astral crest on his cheek!
[06:22] Jhin
    That confirms it.
[06:24] Jhin
    These guys aren't Imperial soldiers.
    They're astral mages from your nation.
[06:30] Jhin
    Recognize any of them?
[06:32] Sisbell
    No, I don't...
[06:34] Iska
    So the real Imperial army attacks the
    royal palace, and a fake one attacks here?
[06:39] Iska
    What's going on?
[06:40] Mismis
    Everyone, gunshots from downstairs!
    They're already inside this palace!
[06:45] Iska
    Sisbell, where are the maids?!
[06:48] Sisbell
    Their rooms are in the back,
    so they should be safe for a while!
[06:51] Iska
    Then let's push through to the
    front door while we still can!
[06:55] All
    Right!
[06:56] Jhin
    If they open fire from a distance,
    I'll take care of them.
[07:00] Jhin
    Iska will handle all mid-ranged astral arts.
[07:02] Iska
    Roger that!
[07:03] Iska
    Whoever it may be, I'll cut them down!
[07:25] Talisman
    Hello, Lady Sisbell.
    I'm glad you made it out safely.
[07:29] Talisman
    I'm Hydra's family head, Talisman.
[07:32] Sisbell
    Lord Talisman?! Why are you here?
[07:35] Talisman
    You're safe now.
[07:37] Talisman
    The royal palace is in great danger,
    but I will keep you safe.
[07:43] Sisbell
    You're talking about the
    attack by the Imperial army.
[07:45] Talisman
    Yes. The Empire's goal is to take
    down the queen and her entourage.
[07:50] Talisman
    In fact, the queen said
    you're also in danger.
[07:54] Sisbell
    The queen said that?
[07:55] Talisman
    We must hurry. Please get in my car
    before more Imperial soldiers arrive.
[08:07] Jhin
    I have two questions for you.
[08:09] Jhin
    If you really are Hydra's family head,
[08:11] Jhin
    how do you explain Vichyssoise's attack on us?
[08:15] Talisman
    Already explained in the
    inquisition with the queen.
[08:20] Talisman
    I have no way of knowing
    why she did what she did.
[08:23] Talisman
    I also find the witness's accounts of
    her transformation hard to believe.
[08:27] Jhin
    Fine. One more question, then.
[08:31] Talisman
    We do need to hurry, but I shall answer
    any questions to prove my innocence.
[08:37] Jhin
    Idiot. Two people are behind the coup.
[08:41] Jhin
    That'd be you and Elletear.
[08:44] Sisbell
    What?! H-Hold on, what are you saying, Jhin?!
[08:47] Jhin
    The real Imperial army is attacking
    the royal palace right now.
[08:51] Jhin
    If that's the case, why would
    this palace be under attack
[08:54] Jhin
    by a fake Imperial army
    of disguised astral mages?
[08:57] Jhin
    Coup's a coup, but with Vichyssoise,
    it was done extremely openly.
[09:03] Jhin
    So why bother disguising themselves
    as the Imperial soldiers this time?
[09:07] Jhin
    Answer's simple. Under the
    current circumstances,
[09:11] Jhin
    everyone would assume the
    Imperial army kidnapped Sisbell.
[09:14] Jhin
    If that's not enough, the only one
    who'd target Sisbell relentlessly
[09:18] Jhin
    has to be the mastermind behind
    the queen's assassination.
[09:22] Jhin
    After all, if she returns to the royal palace,
    she can find out who did it.
[09:26] Talisman
    Hold on. Our family is not the most
    opposed to the current regime.
[09:33] Jhin
    So you wanna say it's the Zoas?
    I don't think so.
[09:35] Jhin
    The Masked Lord had nothing
    to do with this mess.
[09:38] Talisman
    How can you be so sure?
[09:40] Jhin
    Because we fought him in Alsamira.
[09:44] Jhin
    Apparently, Zoa's a radical faction
    just itching to destroy the Empire.
[09:49] Jhin
    If so, there's no way he'd work
    with the Empire to stage a coup.
[09:53] Talisman
    This is all just your imagination.
[09:56] Talisman
    What if that was all just an act?
[10:00] Jhin
    If he's working with the Empire,
    he could've bribed us in Alsamira,
[10:05] Jhin
    and just taken care
    of Sisbell then and there.
[10:09] Jhin
    Zoa's innocent as far as this coup goes.
[10:12] Jhin
    That just leaves us with one descendant.
[10:16] Jhin
    The Hydra family is the one behind the coup.
[10:20] Talisman
    Such beautiful logic.
[10:22] Talisman
    I see, so you've met the Masked Lord.
[10:26] Talisman
    Well, no matter. I shall
    simply keep carrying on.
[10:30] Talisman
    The only thing that'll remain will be the
    Empire's gunpowder and bullet holes.
[10:34] Sisbell
    Lord Talisman?! So you
    really are the mastermind?!
[10:37] Talisman
    All of this is necessary.
[10:40] Talisman
    We need the Empire's help to
    reach the core of this planet.
[10:45] Talisman
    Let's work together, Lady Sisbell.
[10:47] Talisman
    Your astral spirit has the power to
    unlock the mysteries of this planet.
[10:54] Sisbell
    What are you talking about?!
[10:56] Talisman
    However, your bodyguards will not be so lucky.
[10:59] Talisman
    Having too many players in this
    game would be a turnoff, after all.
[11:03] Talisman
    I must ask for them to leave.
[11:08] Jhin
    What's the big surprise?
    These are the bombs you prepared.
[11:14] Jhin
    We're used to handling Imperial weapons.
[11:17] Iska
    Sisbell, run!
[11:20] Sisbell
    Please be careful!
[11:21] Sisbell
    Lord Talisman's astral art uses waves!
[11:27] Talisman
    Impressive. You dodged that.
[11:32] Iska
    You won't be able to blame
    the Empire after all this.
[11:36] Talisman
    No worries, I'll just burn everything
    down using Imperial explosives.
[11:41] Talisman
    Astral energy will dissipate soon enough,
[11:44] Talisman
    leaving nothing but the damage
    caused by the Imperial army.
[11:48] Talisman
    Secure Lady Sisbell.
[11:50] Soldiers
    Yes, sir!
[11:52] Talisman
    My, my. It isn't in my nature to
    engage in such a barbaric act...
[11:58] Iska
    I don't buy that.
[12:00] Talisman
    It's true. I dislike violence.
[12:05] Talisman
    However, "purification" is a different story.
[12:11] Talisman
    This is to purify this planet's spirit.
[12:17] Astral Power Forces
    Hurry!
[12:18] Astral Power Forces
    Put the fire out!
[12:19] Astral Power Forces
    We're under attack!
[12:24] Mei
    So this is the astral spirit's fortress?
[12:26] Mei
    So many mechanisms made with
    unknown materials and logic.
[12:30] Mei
    Looks like it's gonna be a pain
    to get to the queen's palace.
[12:34] Captain
    Miss Mei, the front door to
    the queen's palace is closed.
[12:39] Captain
    Our guns aren't working.
[12:41] Mei
    I know, Cappy.
[12:43] Mei
    That's why we're taking a detour.
[12:47] Mei
    Hm?
[12:48] Mei
    So that's how this is gonna go.
[12:52] Mei
    Disappearing objects? Must be space-time
    based if space itself disappeared.
[12:57] Mei
    Either way, it's vicious.
[13:00] Mei
    Nice to meet you, little miss.
[13:02] Kissing
    We've been expecting you,
    soldiers of the Empire.
[13:07] Kissing
    My name is Kissing Zoa Nebulis IX.
[13:12] Captain
    A-A purebred?!
[13:13] Imperial Soldier A
    They've finally appeared.
[13:16] Mei
    Well, it took you long enough.
[13:19] Kissing
    I was asleep.
[13:22] Mei
    Of course you were! Any child would
    be asleep this late at night.
[13:28] Kissing
    That's why you need to disappear.
[13:30] Kissing
    I haven't gotten enough sleep,
    so I must eliminate you.
[13:35] Masked Lord
    Look. The flames swelling above like
    a grand flower blooming in the night.
[13:42] Masked Lord
    A beautiful, yet cruel and fragile flower.
[13:46] Masked Lord
    Pity. I'm terribly disappointed.
[13:50] Risya
    Ah, because the Imperial soldiers
    who showed up are nobodies like us?
[13:56] Masked Lord
    I had planned for this crimson flower
    to bloom in the Empire,
[14:02] Masked Lord
    but you beat us to it.
    That's what is disappointing.
[14:07] Risya
    Aw, I guess we both think alike.
[14:12] Risya
    So, how do you want to do this?
[14:14] Risya
    It'd be easier to talk if
    we knew each other's names.
[14:17] Masked Lord
    Ah, apologies. My name is On.
[14:22] Masked Lord
    People call me the Masked Lord.
[14:24] Risya
    What a gentleman. I'm Risya.
[14:29] Masked Lord
    Yes, the Saint Disciple.
[14:31] Risya
    Oh, you already know.
[14:34] Masked Lord
    I have a message for you from our family head.
[14:39] Risya
    Yeah?
[14:41] Masked Lord
    First, let me express my gratitude.
[14:41] Growley
    First, let me express my gratitude.
[14:43] Masked Lord
    The fate of this planet
    brought us a wonderful guest.
[14:43] Growley
    The fate of this planet
    brought us a wonderful guest.
[14:49] Growley
    Forty years ago, my legs went bad.
[14:52] Growley
    When I realized my dream of fighting in
    the battlefield would never come true,
[14:57] Growley
    I was crushed by the greatest grief of my life.
[15:07] Growley
    So, thank you, for visiting our land, assassin.
[15:11] Growley
    Thank you for giving me the chance
    to destroy the Empire once again!
[15:22] Nameless
    Die, demon.
[15:25] Growley
    Your sin runs deep.
[15:29] Nameless
    What?
[15:30] Growley
    I'm Zoa's family head, Growley.
    Allow me to measure the depth of your sin.
[15:40] Sisbell
    There's an escape stairway!
    We can leave from here!
[15:44] Jhin
    A secret passage in case of emergency, huh?
[15:46] Sisbell
    Yes. I'll lead the way.
[15:56] Mismis
    Look, this is amazing, Nene.
    It's a literal loophole.
[15:59] Nene
    You don't see this kind of thing in the Empire.
[16:02] Jhin
    Stop being impressed and go in.
[16:06] Jhin
    Quit holding on so tight. It'll be
    hard for me to move when I need to.
[16:11] Sisbell
    W-What are you talking
    about?! I-I am not scared!
[16:16] Jhin
    Boss, Nene, how much ammo do you have left?
[16:19] Mismis
    Um, the battery for my taser is about half-full.
[16:23] Nene
    I have 12. I also picked up a grenade
    from those soldiers we just took down.
[16:27] Jhin
    So a war of attrition isn't an option.
[16:30] Jhin
    What?!
[16:31] Jhin
    Fall back!
[16:34] Jhin
    They even know about this secret passage!
[16:36] Sisbell
    But how?!
[16:37] Jhin
    Just keep running!
[16:39] Jhin
    An astral art of ice?
[16:41] Jhin
    Looks like they mean business.
[16:49] Sisbell
    This should buy us some time...
[16:52] Grugell
    Winter Scenery: the Great Snowy Ravine.
[16:57] Grugell
    Do you know the difference between snow and ice?
[17:01] Grugell
    If you don't, allow me to
    show you the world of snow.
[17:07] Grugell
    Nice to meet you, Lady Sisbell.
    I believe we've never met before.
[17:13] Sisbell
    W-Who are you?!
[17:15] Jhin
    The Midnight Sun Witch, Grugell.
[17:19] Grugell
    An Imperial soldier that knows me?
[17:22] Jhin
    I heard the whole troop from the Fifth
    Division were utterly crushed by you.
[17:27] Grugell
    Indeed.
[17:32] Grugell
    I rule the world of snow.
[17:35] Grugell
    In here, not even the descendants
    of the Founder can stop me.
[17:41] Alice
    Faster, Rin. Punch it to 300 mph.
[17:44] Rin
    That's absurd.
[17:46] Alice
    If the Imperial army is really invading,
    how much damage could they do?
[17:52] Rin
    Not much. At most, only a few dozen
    of them could have infiltrated us.
[17:57] Rin
    The only things that could've passed security
[17:59] Rin
    would've been handguns and
    disassembled assault rifles.
[18:03] Alice
    You're right.
[18:04] Rin
    However, even if the Sovereignty's
    damage may be small,
[18:07] Rin
    the same cannot be said for the royal family.
[18:10] Alice
    Even if none of our people get hurt,
[18:13] Alice
    if the queen falls, this nation will also fall.
[18:18] Rin
    How could this be?!
[18:20] Rin
    How many weapons was the Imperial
    army able to bring in?!
[18:26] Alice
    I can't believe it...
[18:29] Elletear
    Seems the Imperial army has
    crossed the Sovereignty's border.
[18:32] Talisman
    Everything is moving along.
    Now we just wait for the invasion.
[18:36] Talisman
    It must be at the hands of the
    Imperial army that we lose our queen.
[18:42] Elletear
    Yes.
[18:43] Talisman
    But your little sister,
    Alice, will be in our way.
[18:48] Elletear
    As far as strength goes,
    she's the most powerful of the Lou.
[18:52] Elletear
    If Alice focuses on protecting the queen,
[18:55] Elletear
    the Imperial army won't stand a chance.
[18:58] Talisman
    Then we must find a way to pull
    Lady Alice away from the queen.
[19:03] Elletear
    I'm thinking of going on a little getaway.
[19:07] Elletear
    To Lou's vacation house.
[19:09] Talisman
    For what purpose?
[19:12] Elletear
    If Sisbell returns to the palace,
    she'll know who exploded the queen's Hall.
[19:17] Elletear
    The house of Hydra will be exiled.
[19:19] Elletear
    I'll intercept Sisbell and take
    her to Lou's vacation house.
[19:24] Elletear
    Basically, a way to prevent her
    from returning to the palace.
[19:27] Talisman
    I see, and your self-indulgent action
    will force Lady Alice to come get you,
[19:32] Talisman
    following you to the vacation house,
    pulling her away from the queen.
[19:36] Elletear
    Exactly right! This way, only
    Lou VIII will be at the palace.
[19:42] Talisman
    Lure Lady Alice and Lady Sisbell
    to the vacation house,
[19:46] Talisman
    so the Imperial army can seize
    this chance to attack the queen.
[19:49] Talisman
    Very good. Two birds with one stone.
[19:52] Elletear
    Oh, come now! It's four birds with one stone.
[19:57] Elletear
    One move. That's all it'll take
    to bring down the current regime.
[20:02] Talisman
    That'll kick off the election
    for the next queen.
[20:06] Talisman
    I suppose you'll be running for Lou, Elletear?
[20:10] Elletear
    I've grown tired of this nation.
[20:13] Elletear
    I don't care what happens
    as long as it's destroyed.
[20:17] Elletear
    I shall leave the future to you.
[20:18] Talisman
    It'll be my pleasure. Allow me to take
    you to the Tower of Stars, at least.
[20:25] Talisman
    Captain Ornake.
[20:27] Ornake
    It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Elletear.
[20:30] Elletear
    Who is this?
[20:31] Talisman
    The captain of the intelligence corps
    that the house of Hydra had hired.
[20:35] Talisman
    A top-notch assassin.
[20:38] Elletear
    My, how dependable!
[20:39] Talisman
    Escort her with the utmost care.
[20:43] Ornake
    Of course.
[20:44] Elletear
    Well, then, I'll be on my way
    to my vacation, as planned.
[20:48] Talisman
    All right. Now we just wait for them.
[20:57] Elletear
    Alice, Sisbell, Mother...
[21:01] Elletear
    You've all been blessed with great astral spirits,
    recognized just for that.
[21:07] Elletear
    You'll never understand the feelings
    of someone who was born weak.
[21:13] Elletear
    You probably think that this nation
    will never fall as long as you're here.
[21:20] Elletear
    But you're largely mistaken.
[21:24] Elletear
    Your misfortune is that your
    astral spirits were too powerful.
[21:28] Elletear
    Nothing can be changed with that.
[21:31] Elletear
    Astral mages' paradise is
    nothing more than an illusion.
[21:36] Elletear
    Tonight, this palace will go down in flames.
[21:39] Elletear
    And I will be the witch of catastrophe
    that ignites those flames.
[21:45] Elletear
    That is what is necessary
    to aim for a true paradise.
[21:50] Millavair
    Keep the fire extinguishing to a minimum.
[21:52] Millavair
    Use the extra manpower to guard the tower.
[21:56] Millavair
    I'm counting on you.
[21:57] Soldiers
    Yes, my queen!
[22:02] Millavair
    This is just a ripple.
    My kingdom will not be shaken.
[22:06] Millavair
    This is a paradise for all astral mages.
[22:10] Millavair
    No one shall trample...
[22:11] Johaim
    "For all" astral mages? Is that really true?
[22:19] Johaim
    Queen Nebulis, I presume.
[22:25] Johaim
    I'm Johaim, the first seat
    of the Saint Disciples.
[22:30] Millavair
    You are?
[22:33] Johaim
    Do you wish to seek forgiveness?
[22:35] Millavair
    Silence, low-life. Who do you think I am?
[22:40] Millavair
    I am Queen Nebulis. As the leader
    of this nation, I will vanquish you.
[22:47] Johaim
    You speak of a dream, queen.
[22:50] Johaim
    This nation is no paradise.
[22:53] Johaim
    The dream of deception ends here,
    and a new world shall be reborn.

[00:26] Talisman
    I had this gut feeling, if you will.
    Something small that bothered me.
[00:31] Talisman
    Vichyssoise was one of our trump cards.
[00:35] Talisman
    Not many people, even from the Lou
    and the Zoa family, could stop her.
[00:40] Talisman
    I never thought she would fail.
[00:42] Iska
    Should you be saying these things to me?
[00:46] Talisman
    Was it you who defeated her?
[00:49] Talisman
    Ex-eleventh seat of the Saint Disciples?
[00:52] Iska
    I'm not going to answer that.
[00:55] Talisman
    This is why I had a bad feeling about this.
[00:59] Talisman
    That's why I sent another assassin, but
    it seems he hasn't arrived here yet.
[01:05] Iska
    Assassin?
[01:06] Talisman
    But all is well. I must return
    to the royal palace soon anyway.
[01:12] Talisman
    Today is a big day—
[01:15] EP SIGN
    Last Crusade: Night of the Witch Hunt
[01:16] Talisman
    I was still talking.
[01:19] Iska
    I don't care.
[01:30] Talisman
    It'd be dangerous to let you come any closer.
[01:36] Talisman
    The Great Eagre.
[01:43] Iska
    My arm will be crushed!
[01:48] Talisman
    You evaded before I could capture you.
[01:50] Talisman
    You have a lot of experience
    for such a young man.
[01:54] Talisman
    A destroyer who has spent
    much time in the battlefield.
[02:10] Iska
    If I move at the same time, I can
    jump in faster than the waves!
[02:14] Talisman
    It's rare to see an Imperial soldier
    who doesn't use a gun, but there's a—
[02:19] Iska
    There's a barrier there, isn't there?
[02:23] Talisman
    Oh? What did you see?
[02:27] Iska
    It was intuition.
[02:29] Talisman
    Saint Disciples are truly remarkable.
[02:32] Talisman
    An individual that can surpass a group
    in this day and age is a huge problem.
[02:39] Talisman
    I was waiting for someone like you.
[02:45] Talisman
    A wave is a wavelength of dynamic
    energy that has acquired a vector.
[02:50] Talisman
    It is the very physical quality
    that creates mass and acceleration.
[02:55] Talisman
    This you must already know.
[02:57] Iska
    What?!
[02:58] Talisman
    You shouldn't lump all
    wave astral mages together.
[03:08] Iska
    He can do all this damage via
    simple contact with his fist?
[03:15] Talisman
    The Vicious Tyrant, Talisman.
[03:17] Talisman
    Although this moniker is far
    from my true intentions.
[03:23] Iska
    Seems like it suits you.
[03:28] Jhin
    As a reward for safely
    escorting her to the palace,
[03:31] Jhin
    we get a sticker that can
    hide the boss's astral crest.
[03:35] Jhin
    This is becoming a deadly mission.
[03:37] Sisbell
    D-Did you say something?!
[03:39] Jhin
    Nothing at all.
[03:40] Mismis
    Can't you do something using
    your astral power, Sisbell?
[03:44] Nene
    Like blast everyone away?
[03:47] Sisbell
    I wouldn't have hired a
    bodyguard if I could do that!
[03:50] Sisbell
    But maybe I can buy us some time to escape.
[03:54] Sisbell
    Stars, show me your past.
[03:59] Fake Imperial Soldier C
    What?!
[04:03] Sisbell
    H-How was that? I was able to fool them.
[04:07] Jhin
    Yeah, it'll work the first time.
[04:10] Jhin
    Either way, we need to leave this palace,
    or we'll be surrounded.
[04:15] Jhin
    Is there a room on the second
    floor that we could jump off from?
[04:19] Sisbell
    Yes, maybe the corner guest
    room on the second floor.
[04:23] Mismis
    Isn't it cold here, Nene?
[04:25] Nene
    It's cold, Captain.
[04:28] Mismis
    Huh?
[04:29] Grugell
    I found you, Imperial soldiers and Lady Sisbell.
[04:37] Grugell
    You escaped earlier, but you can't run
    for long with Lady Sisbell with you.
[04:44] Jhin
    Hey, grandma. You really
    are persistent, aren't you?
[04:48] Jhin
    Old people should be fast
    asleep this time of the hour.
[04:52] Grugell
    I would like to do just that.
[04:55] Grugell
    I have grown tired of chasing you.
[04:59] Grugell
    Hand over Lady Sisbell.
[05:01] Jhin
    Pass.
[05:04] Jhin
    Let's go!
[05:04] Mismis
    Yeah!
[05:04] Nene
    Yeah!
[05:04] Sisbell
    Yes!
[05:07] Grugell
    You little pipsqueaks!
[05:09] Mismis
    S-So many!
[05:12] Jhin
    Ignore it, boss!
[05:16] Jhin
    It feels like we're being hunted.
    She shouldn't underestimate us too much.
[05:21] Talisman
    I converted the wave energy
    into physical acceleration.
[05:28] Talisman
    Any astral mage with this type
    of astral spirit can do this.
[05:34] Iska
    Anyone? You're lying.
[05:36] Talisman
    It just requires training.
[05:47] Iska
    Just as I thought. It's not the
    initial speed that makes him fast.
[05:51] Iska
    His acceleration is through the roof.
[05:53] Iska
    It's enhanced by the astral spirit of waves!
[06:02] Talisman
    Physical conversion of waves.
[06:04] Talisman
    It took me six years to create this technique.
    And another eight to master it.
[06:10] Talisman
    Thirteen years to reach this palace.
[06:13] Talisman
    It took me nearly thirty years.
    Skillful I am not.
[06:20] Talisman
    But you can't get to this
    level with a normal mentality.
[06:25] Talisman
    Can you understand what I'm trying
    to say, young Saint Disciple?
[06:31] Iska
    I can't even evade it?!
[06:32] Talisman
    We are the same, walking the path of
    bloodshed, aiming to master ultimate power.
[06:42] Talisman
    Unfortunately, I'm older and well seasoned.
    You can see the difference.
[06:48] Iska
    Wait.
[06:49] Talisman
    What?
[06:54] Talisman
    I thought you took a direct hit.
[06:56] Iska
    I did.
[06:58] Talisman
    Then how can you stand back up?
[07:01] Iska
    If I didn't release the
    astral art, I was a goner.
[07:08] Talisman
    Beautiful! Just facing you gives me the shivers.
[07:12] Talisman
    Indeed, a terrifying opponent.
[07:14] Iska
    That'd be my line, you con artist.
[07:17] Iska
    How frustrating. I never
    thought I'd lose in speed.
[07:22] Iska
    I've never felt so aggravated in my life.
[07:25] Talisman
    What a great stage.
[07:27] Talisman
    This palace is built on a hill,
    so the sunrise must be beautiful.
[07:33] Iska
    A little ahead of yourself,
    aren't you? It's still midnight.
[07:38] Talisman
    That's why I must witness it.
[07:41] Talisman
    Tonight will be the last time
    the star, the Lou, will shine.
[07:46] Talisman
    The long night will finally come to an end.
[07:49] Iska
    Are you saying the queen will fall?
[07:53] Talisman
    I cannot say such a thing, but you're
    smart to understand what I said that way.
[07:58] Iska
    And then what?
[08:00] Talisman
    Isn't it obvious? When the starry night
    of the Lou ends, morning will come.
[08:06] Talisman
    It will be the start of the new world.
[08:11] Kissing
    I will eliminate you. Disappear from before me.
[08:16] Mei
    Whoa, scary.
[08:19] Mei
    I see, this is star-body astral
    spirit that interferes with matter.
[08:24] Mei
    Isn't that right, missy?
[08:26] Kissing
    Do you think that's going to save your life?
[08:30] Mei
    I heard second-gen astral spirits
    born from the depths of the planet
[08:34] Mei
    usually give their owners
    a purple-colored crest.
[08:36] Mei
    Lemme see it.
[08:38] Kissing
    Unfortunately, I am a lady.
[08:40] Kissing
    I have no intention of showing you my skin.
[08:44] Mei
    Lady? That's some talk coming from a
    bloody witch, like you're a human being.
[08:52] Mei
    I've always wanted a sample of a pureblood.
[08:55] Mei
    I'll find out where your astral crest is,
[08:58] Mei
    by ripping off that pretty dress of yours.
[09:05] Kissing
    Wonderful. It's as Uncle On told me.
[09:09] Kissing
    Imperial soldiers are savages.
[09:13] Kissing
    This is good.
[09:14] Kissing
    I can do terrible things
    without a care in the world.
[09:21] Kissing
    Disappear, Imperials.
[09:30] Mei
    How about I give you a hard lesson
    with shards of glass, missy?!
[09:41] Kissing
    She used my astral spirit's automatic
    defense to her advantage...
[09:44] Mei
    How lame. Your astral spirit looks strong,
    but you're a sheltered little girl.
[09:50] Mei
    Not knowing how to play mind games
    makes you less than a witch.
[09:54] Mei
    You're just a doll.
[09:56] Mei
    Kill her.
[09:58] Kissing
    Do not underestimate the
    descendant of the Founder.
[10:01] Captain
    Impossible!
[10:02] Imperial Soldier A
    Did she block all the bullets?!
[10:05] Kissing
    Even the Lous and Hydras don't have
    Zoa's control of astral power.
[10:09] Kissing
    Oh, that was a slip.
[10:12] Kissing
    Uncle On had told me not
    to tell anyone about this.
[10:18] Mei
    "Ruined King Hurricane," activate.
[10:23] Kissing
    Thorns! Rip that woman to—
[10:24] Mei
    Didn't I tell you? I'm gonna show you why
    they call me the "Incessant Tempest."
[10:30] Mei
    Looks like this is goodbye,
    my cute little witch.
[10:40] Masked Lord
    First, let me express my gratitude.
[10:42] Masked Lord
    The fate of this planet
    brought us a wonderful guest.
[10:50] Masked Lord
    What?
[10:52] Risya
    Oops, that was close.
[10:54] Risya
    So that's how this is going to play out?
[10:57] Risya
    Do you remember an Imperial
    soldier called Mismis?
[11:00] Masked Lord
    Mismis?
[11:01] Risya
    She's a captain from the Imperial
    army. You met her at Mudor Canyon.
[11:06] Risya
    The one you kicked into the Vortex.
[11:09] Risya
    We joined at the same time,
    so I've heard a lot about you.
[11:15] Masked Lord
    Ah, I remember now. That little lady.
[11:20] Masked Lord
    I see. If that's how you're connected,
    everything makes sense.
[11:25] Masked Lord
    What a surprise, though.
    Your friend is at a captain's level,
[11:30] Masked Lord
    but you were promoted to Saint Disciple?
[11:32] Risya
    Well, yes.
[11:34] Masked Lord
    I heard that the Imperial army
    is very competitive when it comes to rank.
[11:40] Masked Lord
    Many people must be jealous of you.
[11:43] Risya
    I'm used to it. After all, this is
    my fourth time being 22 years old.
[11:48] Masked Lord
    Is that so? Rather than a talented
    young lady, you're an old veteran, then.
[11:56] Risya
    No, no! I'm a lady!
[11:59] Risya
    It's my policy to start over
    before reaching my thirties.
[12:03] Risya
    Right now, I'm a lady in full bloom.
[12:08] Risya
    Now, then, the Eight Great Apostles
    gave me a quota of purebreds to capture.
[12:18] Masked Lord
    An Imperial soldier that uses astral art?
[12:22] Growley
    Allow me to measure the depth of your sin.
[12:29] Nameless
    Is this an embodiment of astral energy?
[12:32] Growley
    This is an avatar. You have committed a sin.
[12:38] Growley
    That sin has become your punishment.
[12:41] Growley
    Carelessly attacking me has become your undoing.
[12:47] Growley
    Can you escape from your own punishment?
[12:52] Nameless
    Punishment?
[12:55] Nameless
    Unfortunately, I don't plan
    on asking for forgiveness.
[12:58] Nameless
    Annoying.
[13:03] Nameless
    Pesky thing.
[13:09] Growley
    It's useless. This avatar is
    immune to all physical attacks.
[13:15] Nameless
    A counterattack-type astral spirit?
[13:18] Nameless
    Astral energy grows in response to the enemy.
[13:23] Nameless
    When it grows to a certain point,
    it takes on the form of a beast and attacks.
[13:28] Nameless
    The condition for its growth is if
    I damage you... and something else.
[13:35] Nameless
    There are multiple conditions.
    Something that you refer to as "sin."
[13:41] Growley
    I'll give you credit. You're pretty close.
[13:45] Growley
    I'll tell you one thing.
[13:48] Growley
    This avatar will grow indefinitely.
[13:52] Nameless
    Ugly astral spirit...
[13:54] Nameless
    Its ability to go through physical
    objects will be the death of you.
[14:09] Nameless
    Die with your astral spirit, demon.
[14:18] Alice
    Just as I thought. They're hiding
    in the dark to attack us!
[14:25] Alice
    How could this be?
[14:27] Rin
    Lady Alice! We don't know where
    the Imperial soldiers are hiding.
[14:31] Rin
    Please be careful.
[14:33] Astral Mage A
    You're safe, Lady Alice!
[14:35] Alice
    Tell me what you know of the situation.
[14:38] Astral Mage A
    Of course! The defense of the
    queen's palace is our top priority.
[14:43] Astral Mage B
    Lady Alice, please hurry!
    Please go to the queen!
[14:47] Astral Mage A
    We'll deal with the fires.
[14:50] Alice
    No, stop!
[14:56] Alice
    You two! Rin, where are the medics?!
[14:59] Alice
    Hurry!
[15:01] Rin
    Right!
[15:07] Alice
    Rin, take everyone to the shelter.
[15:11] Alice
    There should be doctors there.
[15:13] Alice
    I'll wait here.
[15:16] Rin
    But Lady Alice...
[15:19] Alice
    I'm calm.
[15:21] Alice
    I think I'm calm.
[15:24] Alice
    The castle should be well defended.
    This area has been hit the worst.
[15:35] Alice
    I'll extinguish the fires,
    so come back in 15 minutes!
[15:40] Rin
    As you wish!
[15:47] Rin
    If I'm even a minute late,
[15:49] Rin
    please head for the queen's
    palace by yourself, Lady Alice!
[15:54] Alice
    It's okay. I didn't make the wrong decision.
[15:59] Alice
    Even a Saint Disciple can't get to the
    queen's palace in such short time.
[16:04] Alice
    Everyone, listen up!
[16:07] Alice
    I'm going to extinguish the fire all at once!
[16:08] Alice
    It's dangerous, so get behind me immediately!
[16:15] Elletear
    First, they hit the fuel tanks
    in the quarantine warehouse.
[16:19] Elletear
    If a large fire was started using that fuel,
[16:22] Elletear
    even the best of the palace's elite would
    have difficulty putting it out.
[16:27] Elletear
    I'm glad the assault went successfully.
[16:33] Minister
    Lady Elletear! Lady Elletear!
[16:36] Elletear
    The only thing left is Lord Talisman's part.
    Hopefully he captured Sisbell.
[16:36] Minister
    We're being ambushed by the
    Imperial army! Please evacuate!
[16:39] Minister
    Lady Elletear, you must hurry!
[16:43] Elletear
    Minister...
[16:44] Minister
    Y-Yes, Lady Elletear? Come quickly!
[16:47] Elletear
    You needn't worry.
[16:49] Minister
    Huh?
[16:51] Elletear
    You evacuate and head to the shelter first.
[16:54] Elletear
    The enemy must be targeting the
    queen's palace, so stay away.
[16:59] Elletear
    There's no need for
    non-combatants to be injured.
[17:02] Minister
    B-But what will you do, Lady Elletear?
[17:04] Elletear
    I'll go there later.
[17:11] Minister
    Please, please be safe, Lady Elletear.
[17:18] Elletear
    Now... I wonder if the Saint Disciples
    were able to reach the queen's palace?
[17:22] Elletear
    It isn't my preference for
    many people to get hurt.
[17:25] Elletear
    I'd be happy if they can get
    rid of the queen quickly.
[17:30] Elletear
    I should also get ready.
[17:35] Elletear
    Alice, Sisbell, Mother...
[17:38] Elletear
    You will probably never understand me.
[17:43] Elletear
    This is my own way to cleanse the Sovereignty.
[17:47] Johaim
    Queen Nebulis, I don't plan on taking my time.
[17:52] Johaim
    Therefore,
[17:54] Johaim
    die here and now.
[17:56] Millavair
    Fall into the pits of hell!
[18:04] Johaim
    The Serene Wind, Milla. Contrary to
    that name, your astral art is aggressive.
[18:10] Millavair
    That was a decade ago.
[18:14] Johaim
    Millavair Lou Nebulis VIII.
[18:16] Johaim
    An astral mage with an astral
    spirit of air, sub-type of wind.
[18:22] Johaim
    You control air itself on a much
    larger scale, rather than just wind.
[18:27] Johaim
    You were 11 years old when
    you entered the battlefield.
[18:29] Johaim
    In the ten years since then, you fought
    more battles than any other pureblood,
[18:34] Johaim
    taking 3% of the Empire's territory.
[18:38] Johaim
    Despite being a witch,
[18:39] Johaim
    you were the Sovereignty's most
    skilled martial artist and assassin.
[18:43] Johaim
    You were considered the most powerful
    candidate for queen in history.
[18:48] Johaim
    However, you've gotten weaker.
[18:51] Millavair
    You speak of your imagination
    as if it's something you've seen yourself.
[18:56] Johaim
    It was actually seen
    by the people in this palace.
[19:00] Millavair
    I see.
[19:02] Millavair
    The guards haven't arrived yet?
[19:04] Millavair
    With such a loud rumble,
    guards nearby would have noticed.
[19:09] Millavair
    One must make choices. It doesn't
    matter if my power alone weakens.
[19:15] Millavair
    Have the other Saint Disciples infiltrated
    the palace and begun fighting?
[19:20] Millavair
    If I can protect the nation as queen,
    that is the right choice.
[19:25] Millavair
    She should already be here.
[19:28] Johaim
    Is your plan to wait for the Ice Calamity Witch?
[19:35] Millavair
    Bomb Cyclone!
[19:38] Millavair
    So there were conspirators.
[19:40] Johaim
    It's an information war. I don't intend
    to kill you by attacking head on.
[19:45] Millavair
    It must be Elletear.
[19:49] Johaim
    Prepare to die.
[19:50] Millavair
    I think you're underestimating me.
[19:54] Millavair
    I have no choice, since neither the
    guards nor Alice will be coming soon.
[20:00] Millavair
    I don't like the idea of destroying
    the Queen's Hall myself,
[20:07] Millavair
    but the show's over.
[20:12] Talisman
    This is a very, very ancient nation.
[20:16] Talisman
    The Lous and current queen hold balance
    in the war against the Empire.
[20:22] Talisman
    The Zoas continue to scream for
    revenge against the Empire.
[20:26] Talisman
    The Hydras have grown tired
    of this nation's situation.
[20:31] Talisman
    What do you think, Imperial soldier?
[20:35] Iska
    Is this really just a wave astral art?!
[20:39] Talisman
    Truly, you've got great eyes.
[20:43] Talisman
    You even saw this coming. Was it
    your hearing? No, did you feel it?
[20:49] Iska
    Both!
[20:58] Iska
    How many large waves are
    compressed on his fist?!
[21:03] Talisman
    Wonderful. It's as if you have
    Sonar from head to toe.
[21:10] Talisman
    Why do you risk your life
    protecting Lady Sisbell?
[21:15] Talisman
    How big a reward did she promise you?
[21:18] Iska
    You attacked us first.
[21:21] Iska
    Why wouldn't I chase away a violent mob?
[21:24] Talisman
    It may be too late, but you have it wrong.
[21:27] Talisman
    This is a palace owned by
    the Sovereignty's royalty.
[21:30] Talisman
    Ordinarily, no one would imagine
    Imperial soldiers being here.
[21:34] Iska
    Bull. Elletear must have told you.
[21:39] Iska
    Why did Elletear betray her own mother?
[21:43] Talisman
    What do you think of her beauty?
[21:45] Iska
    What?
[21:47] Talisman
    If there is such a thing as witchcraft,
    that would be what Elletear's beauty is.
[21:53] Talisman
    In front of her beauty, even the goddess
    herself would want to serve her.
[21:58] Talisman
    Her beauty must be a gift from the gods.
[22:02] Talisman
    However,
[22:05] Talisman
    she was not loved by the planet.
[22:08] Talisman
    You misunderstand one thing.
[22:11] Talisman
    The goals of Hydra and
    Elletear are not the same.
[22:15] Talisman
    We simply share the same first
    step in realizing our ideals.
[22:20] Iska
    And that's to overthrow the queen?
[22:23] Talisman
    If we can take out the current queen,
    the Sovereignty will temporarily weaken.
[22:28] Talisman
    It would give us an advantage in future battles.
[22:32] Iska
    Is that what you said to the Empire?
[22:36] Talisman
    I'll leave that to your imagination.
[22:39] Iska
    Let me answer one thing for you!
[22:43] Iska
    This isn't the kind of battle
    I want to have with the Sovereignty.
[22:47] Talisman
    What do you mean?
[22:49] Iska
    Nothing will change if you do
    things the way you're doing!
[22:53] Iska
    Both nations will continue to hurt,
    their relationship will worsen, and that's it.
[22:58] Iska
    That isn't it. That isn't
    the "end" I'm aiming for!
[23:04] Iska
    I don't want the Empire to fall,
    nor the Sovereignty!
[23:11] Talisman
    Such a romantic! You dream
    of a very sweet fantasy.
[23:16] Talisman
    You're full of romanticism,
    unfit for a destroyer such as yourself.
[23:19] Talisman
    However, the other Saint Disciples
    and the royals other than the Lous
[23:25] Talisman
    were longing for this day to come, I believe.
[23:28] Iska
    What does that mean?
[23:31] Talisman
    They wanted to compare. The decade-long
    question of who is superior?
[23:41] Talisman
    The Saint Disciples of the Empire,
[23:43] Talisman
    or the purebreds,
    the descendants of the Founder?
[23:47] Talisman
    They want to clarify,
    once and for all, which is better.
[23:53] Talisman
    That's what
[23:56] Talisman
    this night is about.

[00:01] Mei
    That was so heavy.
[00:04] Mei
    It always makes me want to bully
    a sheltered little girl like that.
[00:09] Mei
    Here I am, born in a field
    filled with gunsmoke,
[00:12] Mei
    barely surviving by drinking muddy water,
[00:15] Mei
    and risking my life on the battlefield.
[00:18] Mei
    But not them.
[00:21] Mei
    The Empire persecuted witches?
[00:24] Mei
    Wrong. It's the witches
    who looks down on people.
[00:29] Mei
    It's so infuriating!
[00:45] Mei
    Great! I was supposed to take you in alive.
[00:50] Mei
    I'm glad you're alive, little girl.
[00:54] Kissing
    It... It hurts... Why... am I... Blood?
[01:02] Mei
    Ah, I was wondering where your astral
    crest was, but it's inside your eyes.
[01:11] Kissing
    Uncle On, I understand now.
[01:16] Kissing
    Nothing good can come from war.
[01:19] Kissing
    How can it? It hurts so much.
[01:22] Mei
    Oh, are you having a change of heart?
[01:25] Kissing
    Yes, let's stop this war,
[01:29] Kissing
    by completely annihilating the Imperial army!
[01:32] Kissing
    I shall no longer show mercy.
[01:35] Mei
    Mercy?
[01:37] Mei
    Aren't you being a little cocky?
    You only survived one blow.
[01:43] Mei
    The next time you hear the
    gunshot, it'll be over.
[01:46] Kissing
    Yes, it shall be over for you all.

[01:58] Masked Lord
    What?!
[02:04] Risya
    Aw, too bad. If I pulled a little sooner,
    I would've finished you off nicely.
[02:11] Risya
    Oh well, I'm not used to this.
[02:15] Masked Lord
    You Imperials are impossible.
[02:19] Masked Lord
    You continuously treat us with disdain,
    calling us witches and demons.
[02:22] Masked Lord
    Yet, you yourself use astral
    spirits behind the scenes.
[02:25] Risya
    Hey, you're mad at the wrong person.
[02:29] Masked Lord
    Oh?
[02:30] Risya
    After all, our astral spirit experimentation...
[02:32] Risya
    It couldn't have succeeded without
    your royal family's help.
[02:37] Masked Lord
    We knew there was a traitor
    among the royal family,
[02:40] Masked Lord
    but any information you'll
    share is greatly welcomed.
[02:43] Risya
    Ugh, you're being obtuse.
[02:45] Risya
    I'll tell you if you can beat me.
[02:48] Risya
    Surely you understand this without
    making me say such a cheesy line?
[02:52] Masked Lord
    Ah, my apologies. That wasn't like me.
[02:57] Risya
    Fourth generation of the planet Thread.
[03:00] Risya
    This doesn't exist in the Sovereignty.
[03:02] Risya
    It's a new type that was born
    within the vortex of the Empire.
[03:06] Risya
    I bet you want all the
    secrets I have in my head.
[03:10] Risya
    That's why you won't be able to leave this area.
[03:14] Masked Lord
    With a beautiful lady asking me,
[03:17] Masked Lord
    turning her down would not be gentlemanly.
[03:20] Risya
    I actually don't hate your theatrics.
[03:23] Risya
    But I'd probably much prefer seeing your face.
[03:27] Risya
    I can see your ugly, cruel nature
    peeking out from behind your mask.
[03:31] Risya
    Very demonlike.
[03:34] Masked Lord
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[03:36] Risya
    I'll drag it out of you by force!
[03:41] Masked Lord
    I'm looking forward to it.
[03:49] Nameless
    What?
[03:50] Growley
    It won't take any physical damage from you,
[03:53] Growley
    but it can physically interfere with things.
[03:56] Nameless
    Sounds like you're bragging
    about your invincibility.
[03:59] Growley
    That's exactly what I'm doing.
[04:02] Growley
    This is the astral spirit of sin.
[04:11] Nameless
    If I eliminate you, wouldn't
    my sin also disappear?
[04:15] Growley
    Your sin will endlessly multiply.
[04:21] Nameless
    Take it.
[04:23] Growley
    You gave up your arm.
[04:26] Nameless
    It's a prosthetic anyway.
[04:29] Nameless
    What?
[04:30] Growley
    Your "second offense" is even more grievous.
[04:35] Growley
    Your sin will swallow you whole.
[04:45] Growley
    Anti-astral grenade, huh?
[04:48] Nameless
    It may not take physical damage,
[04:51] Nameless
    but it does do damage to the
    actual astral spirit, doesn't it?
[04:55] Nameless
    I saw your astral spirit. I'll get it next time.
[05:00] Growley
    Do you think I'll let you get away?
[05:13] Growley
    Curse you, Imperial soldier!
[05:22] Growley
    But you won't get away...
[05:24] Growley
    The astral spirit of sin will follow
    you to the end of this nation.
[05:38] Jhin
    Ugh! Don't step onto this snow!
[05:41] Sisbell
    Jhin, w-what is wrong?
[05:44] Jhin
    You're all right?
[05:46] Sisbell
    Yes. What is the—
[05:49] Jhin
    This snow bit me.
[05:52] Sisbell
    This will be like walking
    through a pile of needles!
[05:56] Jhin
    How come it's only me that got bitten?
[05:59] Sisbell
    Huh? Uh...
[06:04] Sisbell
    Some things that are created by astral art
[06:07] Sisbell
    can react a certain way depending on
    whether one has astral energy or not.
[06:10] Sisbell
    For example, the doors and
    elevators at the royal palace...
[06:13] Sisbell
    Oops, please forget what I said.
[06:16] Jhin
    Keep going.
[06:17] Sisbell
    This snow will bite anyone who
    does not have an astral crest.
[06:22] Jhin
    Boss, you're up.
[06:24] Nene
    I knew it! You work your captain way too hard!
[06:30] Jhin
    You're doing good, boss.
    Keep kicking the snow away.
[06:33] Jhin
    Now we just gotta deal with them.
[06:43] Nene
    Jhin!
[06:45] Mismis
    Jhin, this way! The last
    room in the back is empty!
[06:50] Jhin
    Nene, follow the boss's footsteps.
[06:53] Jhin
    Don't touch the snow.
[06:54] Nene
    Okay!
[07:01] Jhin
    You're a persistent old lady.
[07:03] Grugell
    This is the world of snow.
[07:07] Grugell
    Ah-ha, I can see the tracks you
    left while running from me so clearly.
[07:14] Jhin
    Don't make a sound.
[07:18] Grugell
    Do it.
[07:22] Grugell
    Crush the Imperial soldiers.
[07:24] Grugell
    Only Lady Sisbell will... will... what?
[07:33] Grugell
    Where is she?
[07:35] Jhin
    Behind you, old lady.
[07:38] Jhin
    We weren't hiding in the last room.
[07:40] Jhin
    We were in the room before it.
[07:43] Mismis
    The last room in the back is empty!
[07:46] Grugell
    But there were footprints left!
[07:49] Jhin
    We backtracked.
[07:51] Jhin
    We left footprints all the way to the back room,
[07:55] Jhin
    and then walked on top of our tracks
    to go back to the room before it.
[08:00] Grugell
    Damn Imperial soldiers!
[08:03] Grugell
    You underestimated the captain
    of the Imperial army.
[08:08] Sisbell
    A-Are we safe now?
[08:15] Jhin
    This isn't a time to be feeling safe.
    We need to head downstairs fast!
[08:19] Mismis
    Right!
[08:19] Nene
    Right!
[08:20] Talisman
    Well, if you'll excuse me now.
[08:24] Iska
    What?
[08:25] Talisman
    The palace is being attacked
    by the Imperial army.
[08:28] Talisman
    It would look suspicious if the head
    of the house was absent for a long time.
[08:31] Talisman
    You did well.
[08:33] Talisman
    Hats off to you.
[08:35] Talisman
    However, we have completed our mission.
[08:39] Iska
    What does he mean by that? Has
    he already gotten to Sisbell?
[08:44] Iska
    Or is he bluffing?
[08:46] Iska
    You think I'll let you get away?
[08:50] Iska
    What?
[08:51] Talisman
    Good instincts.
[08:53] Talisman
    You've got your guard up after
    sensing this wasn't my wave astral art.
[08:58] Talisman
    You're right, this isn't my astral art.
[09:02] Iska
    What is this phenomenon?
    I've seen it somewhere...
[09:07] Talisman
    Just moments ago, I spoke to a
    witch who escaped from prison.
[09:14] Iska
    A witch?
[09:15] Talisman
    A lady who you also know.
[09:17] Iska
    What?
[09:19] Talisman
    You got us once before,
[09:22] Talisman
    but it was a mistake to think an inquisition
    quarantine room could hold her.
[09:27] Talisman
    After all, she isn't human anymore.
    She's a true witch.
[09:34] Iska
    Attraction force? Witch? Gravity?
[09:38] Iska
    Could it be?!
[09:39] Talisman
    Farewell, romantic Saint Disciple.
[09:44] Iska
    Wa—
[09:46] Talisman
    Vichyssoise.
[09:48] Vichyssoise
    Super Cannon: Corpse Magic Bullet.
[09:58] Mismis
    Huh?
[10:03] Mismis
    What... What happened?
[10:08] Jhin
    Hey, boss. When I said we
    need to head downstairs,
[10:12] Jhin
    I didn't mean blow up the whole palace.
[10:15] Mismis
    This wasn't me!
[10:16] Jhin
    I know that.
[10:18] Jhin
    It was probably the Hydras.
[10:21] Jhin
    Where is she?
[10:26] Nene
    Huh?
[10:27] Mismis
    Oh!
[10:34] Vichyssoise
    I got Sisbell.
[10:37] Mismis
    Sisbell!
[10:38] Vichyssoise
    Hm? Oh, we still have Imperial soldiers?
[10:43] Yumilecia
    Lady Sisbell!
[10:43] Nami
    Lady Sisbell!
[10:43] Cystea
    Lady Sisbell!
[10:47] Nami
    Give her back!
[10:49] Cystea
    You fool! She is our nation's greatest treasure!
[10:53] Vichyssoise
    I've got bad news for you.
    Your master is never coming back.
[10:59] Yumilecia
    Shut up! Let go of Lady Sisbell, you monster!
[11:03] Jhin
    Idiot, don't!
[11:06] Yumilecia
    Return Lady Sisbell to us!
[11:15] Vichyssoise
    Ow!
[11:18] Vichyssoise
    Just kidding!
[11:25] Vichyssoise
    You have such a cute face.
[11:27] Vichyssoise
    Nothing but the best for the Lou family.
    They know how to pick them.
[11:31] Vichyssoise
    Makes me want to crush your face in.
[11:35] Yumilecia
    S-Stop...
[11:37] Vichyssoise
    Nope, not gonna stop!
[11:41] Iska
    Vichyssois!
[11:45] Mismis
    Iska!
[11:46] Nene
    Iska!
[11:47] Vichyssoise
    You! How did you survive?!
[11:50] Iska
    At the moment of explosion,
    I released Talisman's wave.
[11:54] Vichyssoise
    You're seven seconds too late, brave knight!
[12:01] Vichyssoise
    Laters, Saint Disciple.
[12:06] Yumilecia
    Lady Sisbell!
[12:07] Iska
    Stop! It's too late.
[12:09] Yumilecia
    Let go of me, Imperial soldier!
[12:11] Yumilecia
    What good is a servant if we
    can't protect Lady Sisbell?
[12:16] Iska
    We'll go save her.
[12:17] Yumilecia
    What?
[12:18] Iska
    You all need to escape from
    this palace and go into hiding.
[12:22] Yumilecia
    Why would we ever trust you?
[12:24] Yumilecia
    Lady Sisbell was kidnapped,
    right before our eyes!
[12:29] Jhin
    You're the one who was taken hostage.
[12:32] Jhin
    Why do you think Iska called out its
    name to get that thing's attention?
[12:37] Jhin
    Your face would've been crushed if not for him.
[12:44] Iska
    We'll get Sisbell back. I promise you.
[12:51] Iska
    You can take my life if I don't keep my word.
[12:55] Yumilecia
    What?!
[12:56] Iska
    I can't go into details, but
    we came to the Sovereignty
[12:59] Iska
    with the intent to protect Sisbell,
    even if it costs us our lives.
[13:03] Iska
    If you want to protect her,
    please do as I say for now.
[13:12] Jhin
    We need to go, the palace is collapsing.
[13:14] Mismis
    Quickly!
[13:15] Nami
    R-Right!
[13:16] Cystea
    R-Right!
[13:17] Iska
    I'll let go of your hand if you
    promise to do as I tell you.
[13:23] Yumilecia
    I will, just for tonight.
[13:28] Yumilecia
    If that means we can get Lady Sisbell back.
[13:42] Alice
    Rin, what's taking you so long?!
[13:45] Alice
    It's been a while.
[13:49] Rin
    Lady Alice!
[13:51] Alice
    Rin?! I'm glad you're okay.
[13:53] Alice
    Are the wounded people in safe hands?
[13:55] Rin
    Yes! They're receiving
    treatment at Lou's shelter.
[14:02] Kisasage
    Lady Alice, there's a Saint
    Disciple in the Queen's Hall!
[14:05] Alice
    What?!
[14:10] Elletear
    Alice, I bet you think you can protect
    everything as long as you're there.
[14:18] Elletear
    That you can drive away the Imperial
    army and protect the queen.
[14:21] Elletear
    You have a strong spirit that
    gives you that confidence.
[14:25] Elletear
    You have a benevolent spirit for our people.
[14:28] Elletear
    If it means protecting the sovereignty,
[14:31] Elletear
    you have the strength to suppress
    your emotions and fight mercilessly.
[14:37] Elletear
    These are all good traits indeed.
[14:41] Elletear
    But it won't do.
[14:43] Elletear
    Your way only creates a
    paradise for only the strong.
[14:48] Elletear
    Your idealism is only
    supported by your strength.
[14:54] Elletear
    You can't save all astral mages that way.
[14:58] Elletear
    Let me speak for everyone who wasn't
    blessed with a strong astral spirit...
[15:03] Elletear
    I shall burn this false
    paradise to the ground.
[15:07] Elletear
    Etch this into your memory
    and fall into despair, Alice.
[15:12] Elletear
    The moment I am slain by the Imperial army.
[15:22] Kissing
    Huh?!
[15:23] Mei
    What?!
[15:30] Kissing
    Wait, Grandfather. I'll deal with
    these Imperial soldiers myself!
[15:35] Mei
    If the little girl's thorn
    doesn't work on that thing,
[15:38] Mei
    it must be pure astral energy that
    doesn't take physical damage.
[15:45] Mei
    Am I right, Names?
[15:49] Nameless
    It's an avatar created by a
    so-called astral spirit of sin.
[15:53] Nameless
    In short, it's apparently invincible.
[15:55] Mei
    Aw, you lost your left arm?
[15:58] Nameless
    I'll get him next time.
[16:03] Mei
    So grandpa stepped in to save
    his cute little granddaughter?
[16:09] Mei
    I'm gonna cry.
[16:14] Kissing
    I really hate you.
[16:19] Masked Lord
    Kissing, you must return immediately.
[16:23] Kissing
    Uncle On?
[16:25] Masked Lord
    Something unexpected has happened.
[16:27] Masked Lord
    I'm going to stop and go back as well.
[16:30] Kissing
    What...
[16:31] Masked Lord
    Elletear is headed to the Queen's Hall.
[16:35] Kissing
    What? That's impossible.
[16:38] Kissing
    She's useless. She can't even fight.
[16:41] Kissing
    Why would she leave under this situation?
[16:44] Masked Lord
    You're right. I too, thought she
    would have evacuated to the shelter.
[16:52] Millavair
    That was an air scythe that can slice
    the Imperial army's bombers in half.
[16:58] Millavair
    How are you alive?
[17:01] Johaim
    I see, such a useful spirit.
[17:05] Johaim
    An atrocious attack fit for the
    descendants of the Founder,
[17:08] Johaim
    and it counters attacks targeting your weak point.
[17:10] Johaim
    It has a wide range of applications.
[17:13] Millavair
    I asked you how you're alive.
[17:17] Johaim
    Because that's who I am.
[17:18] Johaim
    Next time, I'll cut you down.
[17:20] Millavair
    I don't like the way you look at me.
[17:23] Millavair
    In my experience, that's never a good look.
[17:26] Millavair
    So I want you gone, lost inside
    the tombstones of wind.
[17:30] Millavair
    Impact: God and World of Wind, Mandala.
[17:35] Johaim
    You misjudged me, as I thought you would.
[17:39] Johaim
    Your wind avoids anything with an astral energy.
[17:43] Johaim
    This is to avoid getting your people hurt.
[17:45] Johaim
    That was your undoing.
[17:46] Millavair
    Are you telling me that you're the traitor?!
[17:50] Johaim
    That's right. I betrayed you
    in order to change this nation.
[17:57] Johaim
    I knew you.
[17:59] Johaim
    But you only saw me as an enemy soldier.
[18:03] Johaim
    That's the difference!
[18:07] Johaim
    This is the history's turning point.
[18:24] Elletear
    M-M-M-Mother... run...
[18:34] Millavair
    E-Elletear...
[18:43] Alice
    Elletear? Mother?
[18:51] Johaim
    This nation has fallen.
[18:54] Alice
    This can't be...
[18:58] Alice
    Saint Disciple? No, he doesn't matter.
[19:03] Alice
    I was too soft.
[19:05] Alice
    That's why I couldn't
    protect Mother or Elletear.
[19:09] Alice
    I should've known. Imperials
    are meant to be destroyed.
[19:14] Johaim
    Are you next?
[19:16] Alice
    You Imperials!
[19:20] Johaim
    That freezing air... You must
    be the Ice Calamity Witch.
[19:23] Alice
    Yes, that's right. A witch.
[19:27] Alice
    I'm going to freeze every city in the Empire.
[19:31] Alice
    Including you!
[19:32] Rin
    Lady Alice, stop!
[19:35] Johaim
    You don't have a good grasp of the situation.
[19:38] Johaim
    I captured a pureblood. I will be returning.
[19:41] Alice
    Silence, you Imperial! You're not
    going to make it back in one piece!
[19:48] Johaim
    Is that so?
[19:51] Alice
    He's running? There is a hidden
    passageway in the back,
[19:54] Alice
    but it'll never open unless a
    descendant of the Founder touches it.
[19:58] Johaim
    I have a key.
[20:07] Alice
    You! How dare you use my sister like some tool!
[20:12] Johaim
    I'm putting her to good use.
[20:16] Alice
    Mother!
[20:18] Alice
    Rin, how is Mother?!
[20:20] Rin
    The laceration on her left
    arm has reached her bone.
[20:24] Rin
    She needs a surgical suture, immediately.
[20:29] Alice
    Rin, you take the lead on this.
    Do what you think is best.
[20:36] Rin
    Lady Alice...
[20:39] Alice
    I won't let him get away.
[20:43] Alice
    I won't let him take my sister!
[20:50] Warvick
    Lady Alice, please get in!
[20:53] Alice
    Warvick!
[20:54] Warvick
    Rin sent me, saying a vehicle
    would be necessary for the chase.
[20:58] Alice
    Great call. Drive at full speed!
[21:01] Warvick
    Right!
[21:09] Alice
    Please hurry! Elletear's
    wound is life-threatening!
[21:14] Warvick
    I am very aware of that, but..
[21:20] Alice
    I'm going to explain while we have time.
[21:22] Alice
    We're going to get that car,
    and immediately head to the hospital.
[21:26] Warvick
    Of course.
[21:28] Alice
    But, if it's too late for Elletear...
[21:31] Alice
    We need to head back to the palace immediately.
[21:34] Warvick
    You want to get back to the queen.
[21:39] Alice
    No, I'm going to crush any
    Imperial soldiers remaining.
[21:47] Warvick
    I understand.
[22:00] Warvick
    Lady Alice, please hang on!
[22:09] Alice
    Hurry!
[22:10] Warvick
    Right!
[22:14] Alice
    No!
[22:20] Alice
    Was this also a trap...?
[22:24] Alice
    He made it look like he was
    carrying out Elletear, but...
[22:32] Warvick
    Lady Alice, please wake up.
[22:39] Warvick
    Lady Alice...
[22:44] Alice
    Warvick...?
[22:46] Warvick
    Glad... you're all right.
[22:56] Alice
    Did you shield me?
[23:02] Alice
    I'll get help right away!
[23:04] Alice
    Rin, send a medical team right here, ASAP!
[23:09] Rin
    Lady Alice? I'll send them your way immediately.
[23:12] Alice
    I'm counting on you.
[23:26] Alice
    Why is this happening?!
[23:28] Alice
    I was supposed to save everyone.
[23:32] Alice
    Mother, Elletear, even Warvick...
[23:39] Alice
    But...
[23:43] Alice
    Nothing
[23:47] Alice
    is going my way!
[23:52] Alice
    I put out the fires in the palace,
[23:54] Alice
    ran to the Queen's Hall to protect Mother,
[23:59] Alice
    and then chased all the way
    here to get Elletear back.
[24:07] Alice
    But everything is ending in failure.
[24:17] Alice
    In this extremely critical moment,
[24:20] Alice
    why can't I save even one person?
[24:27] Alice
    The Imperial army... No, the
    Imperials and everything else!
[24:33] Alice
    If this is your intention,
    I will never forgive you!
[24:41] Alice
    Prepare yourself.
[24:43] Alice
    I will absolutely and
    unequivocally have my revenge!
[24:48] Iska
    Alice?!
[24:53] Iska
    Alice...
[24:57] Alice
    Iska...?

[00:37] Iska
    Alice? What are you talking about?
    Never mind that, Sisbell—
[00:42] Alice
    Didn't I tell you to stay
    in the vacation house?!
[00:44] Iska
    Wha... Listen to me, Alice!
    Sisbell got kidnapped!
[00:49] Iska
    Vichyssoise got out of the prison and destroyed
    Lou's vacation house to abduct her!
[00:54] Alice
    Sisbell did?
[00:56] Iska
    I'm only here because I was chasing after her!
[00:59] Alice
    Are you speaking the truth?
[01:03] Alice
    But even if I wanted to
    believe you, I just can't.
[01:06] Alice
    Because the Imperial army is our enemy,
[01:09] Alice
    and I am the princess who
    will take the queen's place.
[01:14] Alice
    Sisbell got kidnapped, you say? Isn't that the 
    Imperial army's doing and not Vichyssoise?
[01:15] ---
    Last Crusade: Our Last Crusade or
     the Night We Make Our Vow
[01:20] Alice
    And what if you were the accomplice 
    who helped carry it out?
[01:24] Iska
    Alice?! Wh-What's gotten into you?!
[01:26] Alice
    I can't trust the words you say
[01:28] Alice
    because you're one of the Imperials!
[01:33] Alice
    I saw Elletear and Mother get
    cut down right before my own eyes
[01:40] Alice
    by a Saint Disciple just like you!
[01:42] Iska
    Wh-What?!
[01:45] Alice
    We've passed the point of no return.
[01:48] Alice
    Because my family and subordinate were harmed.
[01:51] Alice
    What...
[01:53] Alice
    What exactly am I sad and crying about?
[01:57] Alice
    The fact that my family was harmed?
[02:00] Alice
    Or...
[02:03] Alice
    I am the second princess of the
    Nebulis Sovereignty, Aliceliese.
[02:07] Alice
    I must destroy the Empire.
    Even if that means going against you.
[02:12] Iska
    Alice...
[02:14] Alice
    Why?! Just why?!
[02:17] Alice
    This isn't how I wanted to go against you!
[02:27] Alice
    Oh, that's it.
[02:32] Alice
    That's probably why I'm crying.
[02:35] Alice
    Forget about the tension between the Empire
    and the Sovereignty and have our crusade.
[02:43] Alice
    That's what I hoped for.
[02:52] Alice
    Former Saint Disciple Iska,
    I am declaring war on you.
[02:56] Iska
    Alice?! Now's not the time to—
[03:01] Alice
    I didn't want to go against you
    while feeling like a wreck either.
[03:07] Alice
    This isn't how I wanted to end things!
[03:14] Salinger
    Oh, such an intense brilliance
    of an astral spirit.
[03:20] Salinger
    If it isn't the Second Princess
    Aliceliese, one of Milla's daughters.
[03:28] Salinger
    And that Imperial swordsman...
[03:31] Salinger
    I don't understand. What is he
    still doing in the Sovereignty?
[03:37] Salinger
    Above all—
[03:40] Salinger
    Aliceliese, you're Milla's daughter after all.
[03:46] Salinger
    You must be convinced that the Imperial
    army is behind this attack, aren't you?
[03:56] Salinger
    I see. What a strange and
    fateful destiny this is.
[04:02] Young Milla
    Salinger, you're absolutely well-built,
    I must say.
[04:07] Young Milla
    Is it because of you're oblivious?
[04:10] Young Milla
    You're a heinous criminal who stole more
    than 100 astral spirits in the Sovereignty.
[04:16] Young Milla
    You're also after mine, too. So, you deserve
    to be executed right here right now.
[04:30] Young Milla
    However, it was quite refreshing.
    So I will spare your life once again.
[04:37] Young Salinger
    She's the next queen contender?
[04:46] Young Milla
    Salinger, you can't even beat me when it comes
    to brute force? What are you going to do now?
[05:00] Young Milla
    Salinger, you're sloppy with your astral art.
[05:04] Young Salinger
    The strongest queen contender,
    Millavair Lou Nebulis VIII.
[05:11] Young Salinger
    A combat doll that doesn't hold any emotions.
[05:14] Young Salinger
    But one day, that impression
    turns around 180 degrees.
[05:22] Young Milla
    Salinger?
[05:26] Young Salinger
    You!
[05:32] Young Salinger
    What's so funny?!
[05:34] Young Milla
    Wh-What is this, Salinger? A-Are you trying
    to kill me by making me laugh hard?
[05:43] Young Salinger
    What?
[05:45] Young Milla
    Salinger is walking outside
    holding grocery bags in his hands!
[05:53] Young Milla
    The man who challenges me saying,
[05:57] Young Milla
    "Milla, today is the day where
    I make you kneel on the ground!"
[06:00] Young Milla
    Actually lines up at the supermarket
    cashier with the ladies...
[06:03] Young Milla
    I'm losing it just picturing that!
[06:09] Young Milla
    I can't stop laughing! You win!
[06:13] Young Salinger
    Hey, Milla!
[06:20] Young Milla
    You even bought meat marked as discounted items!
[06:24] Young Milla
    I bet you went through a fierce
    battle with the ladies!
[06:29] Young Salinger
    Shut up!
[06:36] Young Salinger
    That combat doll actually laughs, too?
[06:40] Young Salinger
    Things stayed exactly the same even
    after our encounter at the city.
[06:46] Young Salinger
    And I kept challenging her
    for her astral spirit.
[06:51] Young Salinger
    But when did I start feeling like this?
    The fights we had started to become precious.
[07:00] Young Milla
    Salinger, why do you repeat the same move?
    You're quite consistent, aren't you?
[07:09] Young Salinger
    I started wishing that this relationship
    between us will continue forever deep down inside.
[07:17] Young Salinger
    However, everything fell apart in that moment.
[07:22] Young Milla
    Her Queen the Majesty...
[07:27] Young Milla
    Salinger!
[07:29] Young Milla
    Was it... Was it you who attacked
    Her Majesty the Queen?!
[07:42] Young Milla
    Answer me!
[07:45] Young Milla
    Salinger! Why?!
[07:48] Young Milla
    Why did you do such a thing?!
[07:54] Young Milla
    I thought you were my only rival. Despite our
    circumstances, I enjoyed my time with you.
[08:06] Young Milla
    Why did you have to ruin it!
[08:13] Young Milla
    I never wanted to fight you
    with such a twisted heart!
[08:23] Salinger
    How ridiculous. Nothing
    has changed in this world.
[08:28] Salinger
    It was Hydra that was behind the
    "Seventh Queen's Assassination Plan"
[08:32] Salinger
    that took place 37 years ago, too.
[08:34] Salinger
    You two are too good to endure the
    bloody feud seething with grudges.
[08:42] Salinger
    You should've seen this tragedy
    coming your way eventually.
[08:48] Salinger
    What a fool.
[08:50] Salinger
    Are you just going to repeat the
    same mistake as the last time?
[08:55] Iska
    I wonder when and how was our
    course of fate disrupted?
[09:02] Iska
    Regardless of being enemies, I thought we had
    a connection that transcended our positions.
[09:11] Iska
    Alice, listen to me!
[09:13] Iska
    I came running here because
    I want to save Sisbell!
[09:16] Alice
    I cannot accept what you say! You people
    breached the point of no return!
[09:23] Alice
    This war will not stop.
    Not until one side perishes!
[09:28] Iska
    Is that what you truly believe?
[09:32] Alice
    It's what the Sovereignty wishes for.
    It's out of my hands.
[09:38] Alice
    Come at me like you mean to kill me, Iska!
[09:42] Iska
    Alice!
[09:43] Iska
    The ground!
[09:49] Iska
    A mirror of ice?!
[09:52] Iska
    Will she hit me with ice? Or confine me?
[09:56] Iska
    But something feels different about this.
    What's the purpose of it reflecting me?
[10:00] Iska
    Should I break it piece by piece?
[10:02] Alice
    Ice Calamity: Rippling Light in the Vast Dust!
[10:10] Iska
    So that's what the mirrors were for!
[10:16] Alice
    As always. Your instincts
    are unbelievably sharp.
[10:21] Iska
    I wouldn't have made it if I
    went on breaking the mirrors.
[10:24] Alice
    That's right. I thought you'll break
    them before doing anything else.
[10:30] Alice
    That was the trap I set.
[10:32] Iska
    That sounds like a special
    countermeasure against me.
[10:36] Alice
    That's exactly what I'm saying. Because it
    won't mean anything against anyone else.
[10:41] Iska
    You're really going to do
    whatever it takes, huh?
[10:45] Alice
    Come at me with everything you've got, Iska.
[10:47] Alice
    Just like the time when we
    fought at the Nelka forest.
[10:51] Alice
    I'll fight you just like you're just
    another nameless Imperial swordsman.
[10:56] Iska
    I have to save Sisbell—
[10:59] Iska
    But I must settle things with Alice
    now of all the possible moments?!
[11:05] Iska
    Out of my way, Alice! I need to get through!
[11:09] Alice
    You can once you slash me!
[11:13] Iska
    Shoot!
[11:14] Alice
    Great Ice Calamity!
[11:20] Alice
    I knew you'd dodge it.
[11:25] Alice
    In the end, Rin was right all along.
[11:28] Alice
    She always said how you, Iska, would one
    day become the biggest threat to me.
[11:36] Alice
    So I mustn't open my heart to you.
[11:39] Iska
    Same goes for you if you're
    talking about threats.
[11:46] Alice
    Say.
[11:50] Alice
    Go ahead and call me a witch.
[11:53] Alice
    Because I'm an enemy to the Imperial army.
[11:58] Alice
    So, I'll accept it even if you call me a witch.
[12:04] Iska
    Alice.
[12:06] Iska
    Your voice is trembling.
[12:08] Iska
    I'm not interested in those
    who overexert themselves in self-mockery.
[12:13] Iska
    Nothing good comes out of that. I also—
[12:19] Alice
    Stop!
[12:20] Alice
    Please stop. Don't say nice things to me.
[12:26] Alice
    I need to act as the princess of
    Nebulis. I must destroy the Empire.
[12:34] Alice
    So that's enough. Forget about
    everything and just fight me!
[12:41] Alice
    Ice Calamity: Thousand Thorn Blizzard!
[12:47] Iska
    It's no use. I knew from the start,
    but there's no way I can go easy on her.
[12:52] Iska
    I'm up against Alice who's not holding back!
[12:54] Alice
    Come at me, Iska!
[13:02] Iska
    From underneath?!
[13:11] Alice
    Now, come at me, Iska. Let's end it here.
[13:15] Alice
    We must put an end to our fighting.
[13:18] Alice
    I shall curse the fate that that
    imposed a choice I never desired!
[13:23] Salinger
    The destiny of stars—is this
    the world you wished for?
[13:31] Salinger
    The royal family repeats its own mistake.
[13:36] Salinger
    How unbearable to watch.
[13:46] Alice
    This is the end!
[13:48] Alice
    Ice Calamity!
[13:53] Iska
    That light?!
[13:54] Alice
    Only when I activate the Ice Calamity
[13:56] Alice
    does my astral spirit leave my body
    and transfer itself to this seed.
[14:02] Alice
    The seed is my astral spirit itself.
[14:05] Iska
    That's why I couldn't slash it back then.
[14:09] Alice
    I will not hide anything.
    Because this is truly the end!
[14:15] Iska
    Huh?
[14:23] Iska
    Did she miss me on purpose?
[14:27] Iska
    No.
[14:30] Alice
    Wh-What is it, Iska? Why did you stop running?!
[14:35] Iska
    You won't hit me.
[14:37] Alice
    Yes, I will!
[14:38] Iska
    No, you won't.
[14:44] Iska
    You can hardly see me
[14:47] Iska
    with those eyes.
[14:56] Iska
    Let's stop this.
[14:58] Iska
    I'll be blunt. I don't want to fight
    you when you've lost yourself to anger.
[15:04] Iska
    Now's not the time we fight, Alice.
[15:07] Alice
    I feel the same way, too!
[15:10] Alice
    But I can't forgive the Imperial army!
[15:14] Iska
    That's where you're wrong to begin with.
[15:17] Alice
    Huh?
[15:18] Iska
    Sisbell's kidnap and letting
    in the Imperial army
[15:22] Iska
    were all done by the descendant
    of the Founder, just like you.
[15:25] Iska
    One of them is Elletear.
[15:28] Alice
    Elletear did?!
[15:29] Iska
    Sisbell told me herself.
[15:33] Iska
    You're not going to believe
    your own sister's words either?
[15:36] Alice
    That's not it! I cannot trust
    that Sisbell was saying so.
[15:40] Alice
    Because those are your words!
[15:45] Alice
    I was suspecting that Elletear
    may be involved in the coup.
[15:49] Alice
    But I saw the very moment where Elletear
    got slashed protecting my mother.
[15:56] Iska
    That's suspicious to begin with. Because–
[16:00] Alice
    How can I suspect my own
    sister after witnessing—
[16:02] Iska
    Listen to me!
[16:05] Iska
    Listen, Alice. Lou's vacation house
    was destroyed by Hydra's attack.
[16:11] Iska
    The Vicious Tyrant, Talisman, fights
    by enhancing his combat skills
[16:15] Iska
    through the astral spirit of waves.
[16:18] Iska
    What I'm saying should be correct.
[16:21] Alice
    B-But...
[16:24] Iska
    But what?
[16:25] Alice
    I can't be the judge of that.
[16:28] Alice
    Because I can't rule out the Imperial army
[16:31] Alice
    looking into Lord Talisman's
    astral spirit beforehand.
[16:36] Alice
    That's what he'll say even if we prosecute him!
[16:43] Alice
    As the princess, I can't trust the
    words of the Imperial swordsman
[16:46] Alice
    who couldn't protect my sister.
[16:51] Alice
    This isn't how I want to feel fighting you!
[16:56] Alice
    I want an excuse not to fight you
    right now. But there isn't any!
[17:05] Alice
    Huh?
[17:07] Alice
    Iska, your wrist...
[17:09] Iska
    Huh?
[17:10] Iska
    What is this?
[17:12] Alice
    Could it be...
[17:14] Alice
    A very small astral light.
    Because we stopped fighting,
[17:18] Alice
    my astral light dimmed,
     and that's why we noticed it.
[17:23] Alice
    I knew it, it's resonance!
[17:25] Alice
    Yumilecia... Did you do something to her?
[17:29] Iska
    M-Me? I didn't do anything,
    and she should be safe.
[17:35] Alice
    That's not what I meant. Her astral
    spirit is able to leave a message.
[17:39] Iska
    A message?
[17:41] Alice
    She can leave a message
    by touching the messenger.
[17:48] Iska
    You can take my life if I don't keep my word.
[17:53] Alice
    Iska, I won't attack you. So can I come closer?
[18:00] Alice
    It won't activate unless the person
    meant for the message touches it.
[18:04] Yumilecia
    Reporting. We servants pledge to the royal
    family that the spirit is speaking the truth.
[18:13] Yumilecia
    The Empire isn't the only one behind
    the Imperial army's invasion.
[18:18] Yumilecia
    The mastermind behind the coup is the Hydras.
[18:21] Yumilecia
    Their head, Talisman, attacked our vacation
    house in disguise as an imperial soldier.
[18:26] Yumilecia
    The real imperial soldier saved us and
    is worried for Lady Sisbell's safety.
[18:33] Yumilecia
    Please show those four soldiers
    your kindness and compassion.
[18:37] Alice
    It looks like
[18:39] Alice
    you were telling me the truth all along.
[18:42] Alice
    I was the one who was being deceived.
[18:52] Alice
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
[18:56] Alice
    I really wanted to protect this nation
    and my family. Yet, why did I...
[19:04] Alice
    I did such a horrible thing to you.
[19:06] Iska
    Get up, Alice.
[19:07] Alice
    Huh?
[19:08] Iska
    What happens to the Sovereignty
    is none of my business.
[19:12] Iska
    But I can't just leave Sisbell,
    so I'm going to rescue her.
[19:18] Iska
    Are you just going to sit there?
[19:21] Iska
    If that's what you want to do, I'm going.
[19:23] Alice
    That's harsh.
[19:34] Alice
    You can't say anything nice even
    when a girl is crying her eyes out.
[19:40] Alice
    Nor will you give me a hand to get up.
[19:43] Alice
    People from the Empire are
    uncivilized, I tell you.
[19:46] Iska
    You're free to be disappointed. But—
[19:51] Alice
    Thank you.
[19:56] Alice
    Thank you for still seeing me as your rival.
[20:01] Alice
    You treat me as an equal because our
    relationship will stay the same, right?
[20:09] Iska
    Alice?
[20:26] Alice
    Let me apologize again. I'm sorry.
[20:34] Alice
    I resent the Imperial army for
    attacking the royal palace.
[20:38] Alice
    And I will never forgive the Saint
    Disciple who cut down my mother.
[20:42] Alice
    But I will never take out
    my negative emotions on you.
[20:47] Alice
    I will go after the Hydras. You hide
    somewhere safe with the servants.
[20:55] Alice
    It's the medical team that I requested.
[20:57] Alice
    Now, go.
[21:00] Iska
    Okay.
[21:03] Alice
    Iska.
[21:05] Iska
    Hmm?
[21:06] Alice
    I'm glad I like you.
[21:11] Iska
    Huh?
[21:14] Alice
    N-No, I didn't mean it like that.
    I meant that I like you as a rival!
[21:20] Alice
    Why do you look like that in the middle
    of something so important, like this?!
[21:25] Iska
    A-And whose fault is it, I wonder?!
[21:34] Iska
    I thought it was one of your
    new traps, so I braced myself.
[21:38] Alice
    H-How rude! I'll never seduce anyone!
[21:44] Alice
    Ugh, whatever. Just go.
[21:47] Iska
    I sure will!
[21:50] Alice
    You lucked out, Iska.
[21:54] Alice
    We'll officially settle things the next time.
[22:01] Alice
    So, be prepared.
[22:04] Iska
    The next time, huh?
[22:08] Alice
    The next time!
[22:13] Growley
    When the sun is hiding at night,
    the moon is keeping watch.
[22:20] Growley
    The one who invited the Imperial army
    is your master, Talisman. Am I right?
[22:28] Growley
    Even at the last assassination attempt on the
    queen, you Hydras always move in the shadows.
[22:36] Vichyssoise
    There are things you're better
    off not knowing in this world.
[22:40] Growley
    Are you talking about how you
    can transform into a monster?
[22:45] Growley
    Of course, you're free to stay just like that.
[22:48] Growley
    But do you really think
    you can get away from me?
[22:52] Vichyssoise
    Such a pathetic geezer.
[22:54] Vichyssoise
    I'm sorry, but my hands are
    tied up with escorting Sisbell.
[22:59] Vichyssoise
    So let me get you another playmate.
[23:02] Vichyssoise
    A witch who's scarier than me.
[23:05] Growley
    What?!
[23:09] Vichyssoise
    Farewell, geezer.
[23:13] Growley
    This overwhelming demonic
    presence... Who's there?!
[23:20] Growley
    A... witch?
[23:24] Subject E
    Listen to the requiem of the stars.
[23:31] Messenger
    The message is as follows:
[23:33] Messenger
    Complete bed rest: One,
[23:36] Messenger
    Queen Millavair Lou Nebulis VIII:
    No life-threatening injuries,
[23:42] Messenger
    Missing persons: Three
[23:44] Messenger
    Head of Zoas, Growley: Whereabouts unknown.
[23:48] Messenger
    Seeking for any witnesses.
[23:50] Messenger
    The First Princess of Lou, Elletear:
    Kidnapped by the Imperial army.
[23:57] Messenger
    The Third Princess of Lou, Sisbell: Kidnapped by
    the Imperial army at Lou's vacation house.
[24:15] Sisbell
    Where am I?
[24:17] Sisbell
    Iska? Captain Mismis?
[24:22] Sisbell
    Nene? Jhin?
[24:27] Sisbell
    Was I taken away by the Hydras?
[24:33] Sisbell
    No way! I will never submit to them!
[24:39] Sisbell
    I won't lose. Be brave, Sisbell!
[24:44] Sisbell
