[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?
[22:10] ---
