[00:35] (Flashback) Carlos     Somebody who's asking to be your friend. [00:40] (Flashback) Ophelia     You're the next one whose child I'm bearing? [00:43] (Flashback) Carlos     Not at all. [00:44] (Flashback) Carlos     Wouldn't you rather have someone to talk to, [00:48] (Flashback) Carlos     my upset-looking princess? [00:52] (Flashback) Ophelia     That's impossible. [00:53] (Flashback) Ophelia     You're a man, aren't you? [00:57] (Flashback) Ophelia     Every man goes crazy once     he starts talking to me. [01:03] (Flashback) Carlos     But I won't. [01:13] (Flashback) Carlos     See? [01:19] (Flashback) Carlos     Okay. Now we're friends. [01:22] (Flashback) Carlos     Can I call you Lia? [01:28] Carlos     At first, I only went to see Lia because an     alliance between our families forced me to. [01:33] Carlos     But when I saw her, I couldn't help but think [01:37] Carlos     that I wanted her to have the same     happiness that a normal person can. [01:42] Carlos     I wanted it from the bottom of my heart. SIGN    Reign of the Seven Spellblades [03:26] Chela     We've been walking for a long time. [03:29] Oliver     Yeah, it feels like we're in a whole new area. [03:32] Miligan     This is my favorite layer     for taking a nice walk. [03:38] Miligan     There's no end to the number     of biomes down here. [03:40] Miligan     I can't wait to come down here with Katie. [03:43] Chela     A nice walk? [03:46] Miligan     Today's walk will be anything     but pleasant, though. [03:49] Miligan     Ophelia's chimeras could attack at any time. [03:53] Miligan     Let's hurry. [04:13] Oliver     What's wrong, Nanao? [04:22] Miligan     Of course. [04:23] Miligan     We've been walking for five hours. [04:25] Miligan     Let's take a break. [04:35] Nanao     This is delicious, huh, Oliver? [04:37] Oliver     Yes, it is. [04:39] Chela     Guy's cakes really are wonderful. [04:42] Chela     Would you like one, too, ma'am? [04:44] Miligan     Sure. [04:46] Miligan     What is this? [04:48] Miligan     That's not fair, you guys! [04:50] Miligan     You can't have something this good     and not tell me about it! [04:53] Chela     It's really something, isn't it? [04:55] Chela     The toolplants we used back there     were also a gift from Guy. [04:59] Miligan     Oh, the ones we used to make a bridge? [05:02] Miligan     The speed they grew at, their sturdiness...     I was impressed. [05:05] Oliver     I think we can use them to distract the     magical beasts during combat, too. [05:09] Miligan     Yes. [05:10] Miligan     Creativity is very important. [05:12] Miligan     If an idea occurs to you, try it out. [05:14] Miligan     And if it doesn't work, I'll back you up. [05:17] Oliver     Thanks. [05:20] Oliver     I'll go get some water. [05:22] Miligan     Okay. [05:23] Miligan     Just be careful. [05:33] Oliver     You're here, right, Ms. Carste? [05:36] Teresa     I am. [05:37] Oliver     Do you know how deep     my brother and sister are? [05:41] Teresa     They're currently making their way     through the second layer, [05:44] Teresa     and will be arriving at the third shortly. [05:48] Oliver     They must have told you something. [05:52] Teresa     Yes. [05:52] Teresa     In truth, they told me that     if I saw you in the labyrinth, [05:56] Teresa     I was to escort you back immediately. [05:59] Teresa     What's happening here has nothing to do     with why you came to this school. [06:03] Oliver     Then why are you disobeying their orders? [06:05] Teresa     Now that the coronation has been completed, [06:08] Teresa     you are my true lord and master. [06:11] Teresa     And of course, this means     your decisions take priority [06:13] Teresa     over any orders the two of them may give me. [06:18] Teresa     It's also true, however, that the next target     after Darius Grenville awaits you very soon. [06:23] Teresa     That's why I want you to have me help,     so that this can be resolved quickly. [06:28] Teresa     I can serve as a scout, at least. [06:32] Oliver     All right, thanks. [06:33] Oliver     If there's anything dangerous     on our route, tell me. [06:36] Teresa     Leave it to me! [06:38] Oliver     Just don't do anything reckless. Please. [06:42] Teresa     Don't worry about a thing! [06:44] Teresa     A true lord must know how to     make good use of his servants. [06:46] Teresa     So order me to carry out     any tasks you see fit, my lord. [06:51] Oliver     Thanks. [06:54] Miligan     The biggest obstacle on the     second floor of the labyrinth. [06:56] Miligan     The giant tree, Irminsul. [06:59] Miligan     It's a rare species that's almost     extinct outside the labyrinth. [07:05] Nanao     This path is pretty steep. [07:08] Nanao     Could we not simply, uh, zoom up     to the top with our brooms? [07:13] Miligan     A natural question. [07:15] Miligan     Of course it's possible. [07:17] Miligan     But if you try without knowing     the area's layout and ecology, [07:19] Miligan     you'll end up regretting it. [07:21] Chela     Yes. [07:22] Chela     We can't take risks here. [07:26] Oliver     It's a little late to ask this, [07:27] Oliver     but why is there a sun in     an underground labyrinth? [07:30] Miligan     We're not sure why it was made, [07:33] Miligan     but it's a relic from prehistory. [07:35] Miligan     A magical technology that would     be difficult to replicate today. [07:39] Chela     That sun's not like the one     on the surface. It never sets. [07:44] Miligan     That's right! [07:45] Miligan     And since plants don't sleep,     this is paradise for them! [07:49] Miligan     That's why it's called the bustling forest! [08:05] Miligan     That's strange. [08:06] Miligan     There's usually a lot of     magical beasts here... [08:20] Miligan     What is this place? [08:22] Miligan     His territory. [08:24] Miligan     Stare back at him. Don't look scared. [08:25] Miligan     Never show fear. [08:37] Nanao     What is that? [08:40] Miligan     What's wrong, West-sider? [08:42] Miligan     You look more stressed than usual. [08:44] Miligan     You normally wouldn't care if a few     people passed through your territory. [08:50] Miligan     You're wounded, huh? [08:52] Miligan     I see. [08:53] Miligan     You got in a fight with Ophelia's chimeras. [09:14] Miligan     If my eye isn't going to scare you away, [09:16] Miligan     then the time for talking is over. [09:18] Miligan     Ready your blades. [09:23] Nanao     Wait, Miligan. [09:27] Nanao     There's no need to draw our weapons yet. [09:29] Miligan     Nanao...? [09:31] Nanao     We haven't done all we can     to pay our respects. [09:35] Nanao     We are traveling on a journey     to save our friend. [09:38] Nanao     I am well aware that     trespassing in your territory [09:41] Nanao     is an act of great disrespect,     but we have not a moment to waste. [09:48] Chela     Nanao! [09:49] Oliver     Wait, Chela. [09:52] Nanao     We do not wish to open     a path through violence. [09:56] Nanao     Will you grant us passage? [10:10] Miligan     Well, that was a surprise. [10:11] Miligan     What kind of trick was that, Nanao? [10:14] Nanao     I heard that many magical beasts can     sense from someone's scent and mana [10:18] Nanao     whether they're a threat or not. [10:20] Chela     Scent? [10:21] Nanao     Yes. [10:22] Nanao     Our unconsciously expressed     emotions, you could say. [10:27] Nanao     Thus, if we want them to know     that we are not their enemy, [10:30] Nanao     we should face them with a calm heart. [10:33] Nanao     That's what Katie said, anyway. [10:35] Chela     But the fact that you did that with a magical     beast staring you right in your face... [10:40] Oliver     It made sense, though. [10:42] Oliver     The magical beast was wounded and stressed, [10:45] Oliver     but that's also why it would've     wanted to avoid fighting if possible. [10:49] Chela     Both Nanao and Katie are full     of surprises, aren't they? [10:54] Miligan     And so is your excellent chef, Guy. [10:58] Oliver     "The Sword Roses"... [11:02] Miligan     All right. Once we're through here, [11:05] Miligan     it's all downhill. [11:09] Lynette     Okay, they're gone. [11:14] Lynette     Stacy, don't be in such a rush! [11:17] Lynette     If we get found again,     it'll be a pain to ditch them. [11:20] Stacy     Then we should just kill them     instead of running! [11:23] Stacy     You're a fourth-year, right, Lynette? [11:25] Stacy     Why do you think I brought you here? [11:29] Lynette     Sure, if it was just that one! [11:32] Lynette     But Salvadori's chimeras     are everywhere right now. [11:35] Lynette     Do you plan to fight every single one of them? [11:38] Lynette     Why are you in such a rush over     a single kidnapped puppy, anyway? [11:43] Lynette     You can get any guy you want as a Cornwallis— [11:47] Stacy     It's not like that with Fay! [11:49] Lynette     Right, right. It's not, huh? [11:52] Lynette     Why are things between the     two of us always like this? [11:55] Lynette     We're sisters—or at least half-sisters. [11:59] Lynette     Hey! Don't ignore me! [12:03] Lynette     What's wrong with you? [12:04] Lynette     You used to love Michela     from the main family so much. [12:08] Stacy     Did you say something? [12:10] Lynette     No. Not a word. SIGN    Reign of the Seven Spellblades [12:46] Miligan     Time to show me what you've     learned from our lessons! [12:48] Miligan     I'll stick to providing support. [12:50] Miligan     Defeat that chimera! [12:59] Oliver     Progressio! [13:06] Oliver     Everyone's ready, right? [13:09] Oliver     Fragor! [13:29] Oliver     Another attack's coming! [13:37] Oliver     That's right! [13:38] Oliver     Don't be in a rush to win, Nanao! [13:39] Nanao     Understood! [13:48] Oliver     Impetus! [13:49] Chela     Fragor! [13:55] Chela     It's tough. [13:57] Oliver     We expected that. [13:58] Oliver     We'll rip off its exoskeleton     and aim for the nerve ganglion! [14:05] Nanao     I'm taking a leg! [14:14] Oliver     It regenerates?! [14:16] Chela     It's not worth aiming for the legs. [14:18] Chela     We'll pick another target. [14:19] Nanao     Very well! [14:21] Nanao     I see... [14:22] Nanao     So this is what it means     to do trial-and-error! [14:26] Chela     Flamma! [14:27] Oliver     Frigus! [14:30] Both     Fragor! [14:35] Chela     Rapid change in temperature     weakens its armor. [14:37] Chela     Now, before it regenerates... [14:39] Oliver     Okay! [14:40] Oliver     Tonitrus! [14:46] Miligan     Excellent. [14:47] Miligan     Excellent! [14:48] Miligan     Your ability to adapt is impressive! [14:52] Miligan     But when fighting a new foe, the moment     you first think you know how to beat it [14:56] Miligan     is the most dangerous part. [14:58] Chela     It's not easy to kill. [15:00] Oliver     No, what we're doing is working. [15:02] Oliver     I'll finish it from the front! [15:04] Oliver     You two attack from either side! [15:06] Nanao     Understood! [15:06] Chela     All right! [15:09] Chela     Fragor! [15:15] Nanao     Progressio! [15:22] Nanao     Now! [15:27] Nanao     Oliver! [15:31] Miligan     I knew it! [15:33] Miligan     Of course, Ophelia designs her chimeras [15:37] Miligan     assuming that someone     will find their weak spots! [15:39] Miligan     Just please don't be dead, Oliver! [15:48] Miligan     You're kidding me... [15:50] Oliver     I saw this coming, too! [15:54] Oliver     Frigus! [16:03] Nanao     You were wonderful, Oliver! [16:05] Oliver     As were you, Nanao. [16:09] Chela     We won! We beat it! [16:11] Chela     The three of us! [16:14] Miligan     That's quite a result for your first battle. [16:18] Miligan     Now that it's over, I realize there wasn't     a second where you needed my help. [16:22] Nanao     Miligan... [16:23] Miligan     Now, let's get going. [16:42] Nanao     Your head is mine! [16:54] Miligan     Looks like you didn't get much sleep. [16:58] Oliver     Yeah. The thought that Pete's life might     be in danger at this very minute... [17:02] Miligan     May I ask you some questions? [17:05] Oliver     Yes? What is it? [17:07] Miligan     I was just wondering... [17:11] Miligan     None of you have known Pete for that long. [17:16] Miligan     So I was wondering:     Why are you doing all this? [17:21] Miligan     Why are you willing     to risk your lives for Pete? [17:28] Oliver     You remember what happened at     the entrance ceremony, right? [17:31] Miligan     Yes. Of course. [17:33] Oliver     The five of us were there when     Marco was about to crush Katie, [17:36] Oliver     and we saved her. [17:38] Oliver     That was where the six of us     first became a group. [17:42] Oliver     Pete was the only one of us     from a nonmagical family. [17:47] Oliver     He must've been more scared than any of us. [17:51] Miligan     Yes. He hadn't been a mage for long at all... [17:56] Miligan     And he'd enrolled in Kimberly, of all places. [18:00] Oliver     But he didn't run. [18:03] Oliver     He could've run away like the other students, [18:05] Oliver     and nobody would've blamed him. [18:07] Oliver     But he stayed and fought with us. [18:14] Oliver     That made me really happy. [18:17] Oliver     I'm sure the other four felt the same way. [18:19] Oliver     Happy that the friend they met     on their first day at Kimberly— [18:23] Oliver     this strange and threatening place—     was someone like that. [18:26] Miligan     And that's why you're determined     to help him instead of running away? [18:31] Miligan     That's a beautiful friendship you have there. [18:34] Oliver     You think it's silly? [18:35] Miligan     No, I kind of like it. [18:38] Miligan     But I'm interested in you, specifically. [18:43] Oliver     In me? [18:44] Miligan     Chela and Nanao I can accept,     at least on some level. [18:50] Miligan     I can tell myself that one was born     to an extraordinary family, [18:52] Miligan     and the other was raised     in an extraordinary place. [18:55] Miligan     But you, however, are exceedingly average. [18:59] Miligan     Ordinary in every way,     with no particular talent. [19:03] Miligan     But despite that,     you're their equal in combat. [19:10] Miligan     It makes no sense. [19:11] Oliver     You think too highly of me. [19:13] Miligan     My guess is that something in your past     happened to make up for that gap in talent. [19:20] Miligan     I'm not going to pry into what that is. [19:22] Miligan     But I'm concerned for you,     as an upperclassman. [19:27] Miligan     There's something that     makes me worry about you. [19:30] Miligan     In a different way than Katie and Nanao. [19:37] Miligan     I've talked a little too much, haven't I? [19:39] Miligan     We're almost to the third layer. [19:41] Miligan     Be ready. It will be far more dangerous     than anything you've seen before. [19:46] Miligan     And... [19:48] Miligan     To be honest, I don't know how     much longer Pete will last. [19:55] Pete     You're awake? [19:57] Albright     Who's there? [19:59] Albright     Where am I? [20:01] Pete     Ophelia Salvadori's workshop. [20:03] Albright     Salvadori? [20:05] Albright     Did it have to be her? [20:06] Albright     Damn! [20:07] Albright     I don't have my athame or my wand! [20:09] Pete     Are you okay? [20:11] Albright     How... [20:12] Albright     How can you breathe in this     perfume and still move? [20:15] Pete     Because... [20:18] Albright     Don't tell me... [20:22] Albright     You became a woman while you were asleep, [20:25] Albright     and so the perfume doesn't work on you? [20:27] Pete     Help me escape! We need to get out! [20:30] Albright     Stay quiet! [20:31] Albright     If she finds you, she'll kill you. [20:33] Albright     Your being here is outside her expectations. [20:36] Albright     We were brought here to be used as males. [20:46] Albright     But we can take advantage of this, too. [20:52] Pete     What are you doing? [21:00] Albright     An explosive orb and a smoke orb... [21:04] Albright     Use them to break out. [21:06] Albright     The last one is a distress orb. [21:10] Albright     It will emit sound and mana. [21:13] Albright     You can use it to call for help. [21:15] Albright     I'm giving them all to you. [21:17] Albright     They won't do me any good in this state. [21:25] Albright     Wait for your chance. [21:27] Albright     For Salvadori to leave her workshop,     hopefully for as long as possible. [21:35] Albright     If we can tell them our location... [21:38] Albright     Everything about this situation changes. [21:44] Pete     Got it. [21:47] Albright     I'm entrusting you with my life, nobody.     It's only proper I should ask for your name.
