**[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] ---**
