[00:00] Sisbell
    Th-This is terrible!
[00:05] Nene
    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.
