**[00:16] ---**
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?
**[22:10] ---**
