[00:12] Subaru
    Okay, finally...
[00:14] Subaru
    Victory!
[00:15] All
    Victory!
[00:19] Subaru
    All right, line up!
[00:22] Kid
    Yay!
[00:23] Subaru
    Time for your stamps!
[00:24] Subaru
    Okay, who's first?
[00:29] Petra
    The kitty's so cute!
[00:30] Lucas
    The kitty's awesome!
[00:32] Mildo
    The kitty's so sad!
[00:35] Emilia
    The villagers seem to be full of life again.
[00:38] Emilia
    Thanks to you, Subaru.
[00:40] Subaru
    Well, I did put my life
    on the line to save them...
[00:45] Subaru
    I went into the forest and
    got bitten by dogs to save the kids,
[00:48] Subaru
    got bitten by dogs when I tried to save
    Rem after she turned into a demon,
[00:51] Subaru
    then had to be saved by Roswaal when I was about to be bitten by a giant dog...
[00:56] Subaru
    Wait.
[00:58] Subaru
    Did I even do anything at all?
[01:00] Emilia
    Oh, come on! Don't fuss
    over the small details!
[01:04] Emilia
    There are those who know the truth.
[01:06] Emilia
    That includes Roswaal and Ram.
[01:09] Emilia
    And especially Rem.
[01:10] Emilia
    And of course,
[01:12] Emilia
    I do, too.
[01:17] Subaru
    A dragon-drawn carriage?
[01:18] Wilhelm
    Welcome home.
[01:20] Wilhelm
    Please forgive me for parking
    in front of your mansion.
[01:32] Ram
    An emissary is visiting from the capital.
[01:35] Ram
    Roswaal-sama is attending to them now.
[01:38] Ram
    Emilia-sama, please join him.
[01:40] Emilia
    An emissary?
[01:41] Ram
    I believe it concerns the royal selection.
[01:46] Subaru
    All right...
[01:47] Subaru
    Given the circumstances,
    I'll try not to do anything dumb.
[01:51] Emilia
    Um, I'm really sorry, Subaru,
[01:54] Emilia
    but this will be a very important discussion.
[02:09] Subaru
    Aren't you bored waiting out here?
[02:18] Wilhelm
    It tastes lovely.
[02:20] Wilhelm
    I feel as though I'm
    indulging in a great luxury.
[02:22] Subaru
    It's actually the most expensive
    tea in the mansion.
[02:25] Subaru
    If the pink-haired maid learns we drank
    it without permission, she'll flip.
[02:30] Wilhelm
    And what is it you hope to gain
[02:33] ---
    from this old man, using such precious bait?
[02:36] Subaru
    I only want to know
    the reason for this visit.
[02:39] Subaru
    If you could just give me a vague idea...
[02:41] Wilhelm
    As I have no idea what your
    standing is in this mansion,
[02:45] Wilhelm
    I cannot say anything careless.
[02:49] ---
    Please understand.
[02:51] Wilhelm
    However, I did see that you are
    quite close to Emilia-sama.
[02:56] Subaru
    Did it look like things were serious
    between Emilia-tan and me?!
[03:00] Wilhelm
    "Tan"?
[03:02] Wilhelm
    It is a steep path you climb.
[03:05] Wilhelm
    You are dealing with one who may
    be Lugunica's future queen.
[03:09] Subaru
    Right now, we're just a super cute
    girl and a useless servant boy.
[03:14] Subaru
    You probably think your wife is
    the prettiest girl in the world.
[03:18] Subaru
    Isn't that what you thought
    when you proposed to her?
[03:22] Wilhelm
    My wife...
[03:25] Wilhelm
    I understand. You are correct indeed.
[03:28] Wilhelm
    I believed my wife the most
    beautiful lady in the world.
[03:32] Felix
    I'm back, Old Man Wil!
[03:34] Felix
    Sorry to make you wait outside.
[03:36] ---
    I bet you were bored, huh?
[03:37] Wilhelm
    Not at all.
[03:39] Wilhelm
    This young man has been speaking with me.
[03:49] Feilx
    Ah, nyow I see... Of course.
[03:51] Felix
    You must be the boy Emilia-sama mentioned.
[03:54] Subaru
    Emilia did?
[03:56] Felix
    I guess you know nyothing at all, huh?
[03:59] Felix
    Let's go, Old Man Wil.
[04:01] Felix
    See you in the capital.
[04:05] Emilia
    Well, see, we aren't going for fun.
[04:07] Emilia
    I received an important summons—
[04:08] Subaru
    If it's important, all the more reason!
[04:11] Subaru
    Aren't you in a battle for the
    throne? I want to help you!
[04:15] Subaru
    Please!
[04:18] Rem
    It seems there are people in the
    capital who helped Subaru-kun.
[04:22] Rem
    This may be a good opportunity
    for him to thank them.
[04:25] Subaru
    Nice assist, Rem!
[04:27] Subaru
    That's right!
[04:29] Subaru
    Some people in the capital helped me.
[04:31] Subaru
    I need to let them know I'm okay.
[04:34] Roswaal
    Why not?
[04:36] ---
    That can be kept separate from
    our royal selection business.
[04:40] Roswaal
    Subaru-kun should go to the
    capital to thank everyone,
[04:44] Roswaal
    as well as to receive treatment.
[04:46] Subaru
    Huh? Treatment?
[04:49] Roswaal
    You overused your already-exhausted
    gate in the mabeast battle...
[04:53] Roswaal
    Treatment would tend that wound.
[04:55] Roswaal
    You met the emissary earlier, did you not?
[04:58] Subaru
    The cutesy-face with the cat ears?
[05:00] Roswaal
    That was one of the capital's most
    brilliant users of water magic,
[05:04] Roswaal
    as well as healing magic!
[05:07] Roswaal
    Felix is a peculiar character.
[05:09] Roswaal
    Even Emilia-sama had difficulty
    enlisting Felix's cooperation...
[05:13] Roswaal
    Hey.
[05:13] Subaru
    Really, Emilia-tan?
[05:15] Subaru
    You did that for me?
[05:16] Emilia
    W-Well, it's partly my fault that
    you haven't healed yet...
[05:20] Emilia
    So you could say I'm repaying a debt.
[05:23] Emilia
    It's compensation equal to what you gave up!
[05:28] Felix
    I was surprised to see you
    talk with that boy.
[05:32] Felix
    I thought you preferred chopping people
    in half than talking to them.
[05:35] Wilhelm
    That is a grave misunderstanding.
[05:38] Wilhelm
    I merely took a bit of a liking
    to that young man's eyes.
[05:43] Wilhelm
    Those are the eyes of one who has
    experienced death several times.
[05:48] Felix
    Hmm, you've lost me nyow.
[05:51] Felix
    But if Wilhelm van Astrea,
    the sword demon, says it,
[05:56] Felix
    I'm sure the boy faces quite a bumpy road.
[06:04] Subaru
    You know, Emilia-tan...
[06:06] Subaru
    Maybe we should stop this?
[06:08] Emilia
    Absolutely not!
[06:10] Emilia
    I know you.
[06:11] ---
    The moment I look away, you'll be
    doing something crazy.
[06:16] Subaru
    Oh, man! I'm seriously moved!
[06:20] Subaru
    I'm totally fantasying right now, baby!
[06:23] Rem
    Subaru-kun is cute.
[06:25] Subaru
    Parallel worlds rul—
[06:28] Emilia
    Subaru!
[06:30] Subaru
    I'm really sorry for that.
[06:32] Subaru
    But this is treating me like a kid!
[06:35] Emilia
    Even though you wanted to hold
    hands on our date in the village?
[06:38] Subaru
    I was physically and
    mentally prepared for that.
[06:41] Subaru
    This time, I'm not!
[06:42] ---
    My hand's sweating like crazy!
[06:44] Kadomon
    Would you two quit
    it with the flirting already?
[06:47] Kadomon
    You're gonna drive away my customers.
[06:50] Subaru
    After I came to make good on my promise?
[06:52] ---
    That's cold, man...
[06:54] Kadomon
    Well, I appreciate that
    you felt obliged to shop,
[06:56] Kadomon
    now that you're not broke anymore.
[06:59] Kadomon
    Here are the appas I promised.
[07:03] Subaru
    Next, it's Felt and Old Man Rom.
[07:06] Emilia
    I thought we'd wrapped things up
    without blame the first time.
[07:10] Emilia
    But then Reinhard's expression went dark,
[07:12] Emilia
    and he took the girl away.
[07:15] Subaru
    That makes it sound like kidnapping,
    or an abduction and confinement.
[07:19] Subaru
    Hot guys really have it good...
[07:21] Emilia
    If we want to contact Reinhard,
[07:23] Emilia
    we should probably go to the guard station
    in front of the district for the nobility.
[07:28] Subaru
    Emilia-tan, about the royal selection
    that begins tomorrow...
[07:31] Emilia
    Subaru,
[07:33] Emilia
    what did I tell you?
[07:34] Emilia
    I brought you here to fulfill your
    promises and to get you healed.
[07:40] Emilia
    You don't have to worry about me.
[07:50] Julius
    Well, if it isn't Emilia-sama.
[07:54] Julius
    It's good to see you again.
[07:55] ---
    Have you been well since we last met?
[07:58] Emilia
    Yes, everything is basically the same.
[08:01] Emilia
    You also seem well, Julius.
[08:02] Julius
    The mere fact that you
    remember me is an honor.
[08:05] Julius
    You have only grown more
    beautiful, Emilia-sama.
[08:13] Emilia
    Thank you. Forgive me for asking so abruptly.
[08:16] Emilia
    But I have business here, and I'd like you
    to act as my agent in the castle.
[08:20] Julius
    Does your business involve this young man?
[08:25] Julius
    His character and attitude
    poorly suit his attire.
[08:29] Julius
    That's no way to act before
    one you've just met.
[08:31] Subaru
    Thanks for the warning!
[08:33] Subaru
    I've got a warning for you, too.
[08:37] Subaru
    You shouldn't eat curry udon in that suit.
[08:40] Subaru
    If the soup splatters, the stains
    will really stand out.
[08:43] Julius
    I don't know what "curry udon" is,
[08:46] ---
    but I shall keep that in mind.
[08:48] Julius
    Now, allow me to show you
    to the conference mirrors.
[08:52] Subaru
    Conference mirrors?
[08:53] Emilia
    A metia that facilitates talking with someone,
    using two mirrors facing one another.
[08:58] Subaru
    Ah, mirrors... How very magical.
[09:01] Emilia
    Subaru, wait here.
[09:02] ---
    Eh?
[09:05] Emilia
    I don't think it would be a pleasant
    experience for you.
[09:08] Subaru
    I've already had an experience
    that wasn't pleasant.
[09:11] Subaru
    That bastard, licking all over your cute,
    little hand, as if he owned it...
[09:16] Emilia
    I'll try to come back before things run too long.
[09:18] Emilia
    Be good and wait, okay?
[09:21] Emilia
    Please?
[09:27] Subaru
    I look so pathetic.
[09:31] Subaru
    Doing that in front of the
    guard station is bold.
[09:34] Subaru
    "It's darkest at the
    lighthouse's foot," I guess.
[09:36] Ton
    You little...
[09:38] Chin
    Don't screw around with us!
[09:39] Kan
    Want us to mess up that pretty face of yours?
[09:43] Priscilla
    Don't make such a racket, commoners.
[09:45] Priscilla
    Fools with no character pick fights
    for the most foolish of reasons...
[09:49] Subaru
    Sorry I'm late, honey!
[09:51] Subaru
    It appears there's been a bit of trouble.
[09:54] Subaru
    But remember who I am,
    and cut me some slack.
[09:56] Subaru
    Now, let's go.
[09:59] Priscilla
    Do not touch me as if you know me!
[10:02] Subaru
    Cliffhanger...
[10:04] Priscilla
    I don't want drooling commoners
    to follow me around.
[10:07] Subaru
    Recognize what's going on!
[10:10] Subaru
    It was supposed to be a classic scenario
    where I save a girl from hoodlums!
[10:16] Subaru
    Wait, no way.
[10:17] Subaru
    Are you three the capital's only hoodlums?
[10:20] Ton
    We met this guy in the alley
    behind the shopping district.
[10:22] Chin
    It's the brat from back then?
[10:24] Subaru
    So, for my sake, could you just let us—
[10:26] Kan
    Are you dumb?
[10:28] ---
    This just makes it three on two,
    instead of three on one...
[10:31] Priscilla
    You should correct that.
[10:32] ---
    It isn't three on two,
    but three on one on one.
[10:35] Subaru
    Would you be quiet for a second?!
[10:37] Subaru
    I have no choice.
[10:39] ---
    This is the last trick
    I wanted to use, but...
[10:43] Subaru
    I'm just telling you, I know Reinhard-san.
[10:47] Subaru
    If I call for him, he'll come running!
[10:52] Subaru
    Secret Technique: Fox in Tiger's Clothing.
[11:01] Rom
    Been a while since I've seen you.
[11:04] Rom
    What're ya doing here?
[11:07] Subaru
    Old Man Rom!
[11:09] Three
    Damn you!
[11:11] Three
    We won't forget this!
[11:14] Subaru
    You saved me, Old Man Rom...
[11:16] Subaru
    I doubt this girl and I
    could've handled that alone.
[11:19] Priscilla
    Don't misunderstand.
[11:21] Priscilla
    Even without you two, I was in no trouble.
[11:25] Subaru
    Say what?
[11:27] Subaru
    "I didn't need your help. I'm super
    strong! I was doing just fine!"
[11:32] Subaru
    Something like that?
[11:33] Priscilla
    No.
[11:34] Priscilla
    This world is designed to operate in
    the way that works best for me,
[11:38] Priscilla
    so I am never at a disadvantage.
[11:40] Subaru
    R-Really?
[11:42] Subaru
    Well, I shouldn't have butted in, then.
[11:44] ---
    Sorry to interfere!
[11:46] Rom
    By the way, boy,
[11:48] ---
    you know where Felt went off to?
[11:50] Subaru
    You didn't hear?
[11:52] ---
    Apparently, Reinhard took her away.
[11:55] Rom
    Reinhard...
[11:57] Rom
    It had to be an Astrea, eh?
[12:02] Subaru
    Something wrong?
[12:03] Rom
    Nah, just talkin' to myself.
[12:06] Rom
    You try not to cause
    any more trouble, ya hear?
[12:09] Subaru
    S-Sure.
[12:13] Emilia
    I finally found you!
[12:15] Subaru
    Oh, Emili—
[12:17] Subaru
    Wait, wait, wait!
[12:19] Subaru
    You can't just pick up Emilia-tan
    while I'm away!
[12:22] Al
    Seems your buddy's got a
    screw loose, little lady.
[12:25] Al
    More worried about losing you to
    another man than happy to see you.
[12:29] Al
    A man's heart is so complex,
    it's a thrill to watch.
[12:32] Subaru
    You've got a pretty messed-up
    fashion sense of your own!
[12:35] Al
    Now, that's no way to talk to someone...
[12:38] Al
    As I'm a cool,
    good-natured man, I'll overlook it.
[12:41] Al
    But some might lop off your head for that.
[12:43] Emilia
    Relax, Subaru. His outfit surprised me, too.
[12:48] Al
    Yeah, well...
[12:50] Al
    I was surprised when she asked for my help
    while I was looking for a lost child, too.
[12:55] Subaru
    Emilia-tan, you're too soft-hearted.
[12:57] Subaru
    Most would think a guy dressed like this
    was looking for a lost child to kidnap them.
[13:02] Priscilla
    My, how attentive you are to wait
    where you knew I would be.
[13:06] Priscilla
    I commend your dedication, Al.
[13:09] Subaru
    You were the lost child?
[13:15] Subaru
    Well, it looks like we both found the
    ones we were looking for. Let's go.
[13:19] Priscilla
    Wait.
[13:20] Priscilla
    What is in that bag?
[13:23] Subaru
    They're appas.
[13:24] ---
    You've never seen one?
[13:25] Priscilla
    Don't make me laugh.
[13:27] ---
    Appas have white flesh.
[13:29] Subaru
    Well, yeah, the insides are white...
[13:31] Subaru
    Wait, s-so you've never
    seen an unpeeled appa?
[13:41] Subaru
    For you.
[13:43] Subaru
    Don't skip off after
    any bad guys again, okay?
[13:47] Emilia
    Subaru...
[13:49] Emilia
    That girl from before...
[13:51] Subaru
    Huh?
[13:52] Emilia
    Where did you meet that girl?
[13:55] ---
    And how?
[13:57] Subaru
    What's this, Emilia-tan? Are you jealous?
[13:59] Subaru
    Are you actually getting jealous over me?
[14:03] Emilia
    Subaru...
[14:06] Subaru
    H-Huh? Emilia-tan, why the serious face?
[14:11] Emilia
    N-Nothing... If you don't know, it's fine.
[14:14] Emilia
    Forget it.
[14:24] Priscilla
    Oh! It really is an appa!
[14:28] Subaru
    Huh? I have to stay here tomorrow?
[14:31] Emilia
    Of course you do.
[14:33] ---
    That was our agreement all along.
[14:35] Subaru
    Yeah, but we never reached Reinhard, right?
[14:38] Subaru
    So if we go to the castle tomorrow,
    we might see him...
[14:41] Emilia
    I'll be sure to ask about Felt.
[14:44] Subaru
    But I should go in person to—
[14:46] Emilia
    This is exactly why I can't take you with me.
[14:48] Emilia
    If I do, you'll push yourself too hard again.
[14:52] Emilia
    I don't want to let you do that. Understand?
[14:54] Subaru
    You're the one who doesn't understand...
[14:57] Subaru
    If I have to push myself to help you, I will.
[15:00] Subaru
    I want to push myself!
[15:04] Emilia
    Absolutely not.
[15:06] Emilia
    Until your body fully heals,
[15:08] ---
    no using magic or pushing yourself!
[15:10] Emilia
    Promise me, Subaru.
[15:14] Subaru
    All right. I promise.
[15:16] Subaru
    I won't use magic...
[15:18] Subaru
    So let me go with you!
[15:21] Emilia
    I can't bring an outsider into this.
[15:23] Emilia
    So please wait here with Rem, all right?
[15:35] Emilia
    I'm asking you, Subaru...
[15:37] ---
    Give me reason to trust you.
[15:44] Subaru
    I know there are those in the capital
    who consider Emilia an enemy.
[15:49] Subaru
    That's why I have to stay close to her.
[15:53] Rem
    What's the matter?
[15:56] Subaru
    I'm going to save Emilia.
[15:58] Subaru
    And to do that...
[16:02] Subaru
    Stare...
[16:04] Rem
    Wh-What is it, Subaru-kun?
[16:06] Rem
    When you stare with such dramatic
    eyes, it makes me uncomfortable.
[16:09] Subaru
    Stare...
[16:18] Rem
    It's at the castle.
[16:19] Rem
    There will likely be heavy security, though.
[16:22] Subaru
    Security isn't the problem.
[16:24] Subaru
    I can't stand not being involved
    in Emilia's important affairs.
[16:27] Rem
    Subaru-kun...
[16:29] Subaru
    I'm only of any use when something happens.
[16:32] Subaru
    So I want to be with her when
    important things are going on!
[16:39] Rem
    Now, I shall set about preparing a new
    appa recipe I just thought up.
[16:45] Rem
    It will require intense concentration,
[16:47] Rem
    so if one were to leave his room,
[16:50] ---
    I likely would not notice.
[16:54] Subaru
    I'm such a scumbag for relying
    on Rem all the time...
[17:02] Subaru
    But the problem is how I'm
    gonna get into the castle.
[17:06] Subaru
    I guess times like this call for that...
[17:09] Subaru
    Hitchhiking!
[17:14] Al
    You sure are lucky... Be grateful
    for this coincidence.
[17:17] Al
    We just happened to be on our
    way to the castle, too.
[17:20] Subaru
    The castle? What for?
[17:23] Priscilla
    There is only one reason to
    head to the castle today.
[17:28] Al
    Oh, you didn't know?
[17:30] Al
    This young lady here
[17:32] Al
    is one of the candidates to succeed
    to the throne of Lugunica,
[17:36] Al
    Priscilla Barielle-sama herself.
[17:38] Subaru
    For real? Then why did you pick me up?
[17:41] Priscilla
    For no other reason than it seemed amusing.
[17:44] Priscilla
    A mere lark.
[17:46] Priscilla
    Taking you to the castle will
    make things interesting.
[17:51] Subaru
    Interesting?
[17:52] Priscilla
    This world is designed to operate in
    the way that works best for me,
[17:56] Priscilla
    so it's a given that all
    things work in my favor.
[18:02] Priscilla
    It is only a matter of choosing whether
    something amuses me or not.
[18:08] Priscilla
    However, if I had to name a reason
    other than amusement...
[18:15] Marcos
    Your appa handler?
[18:18] Priscilla
    Indeed. He is something of a wretched clown,
[18:22] Priscilla
    whose sole priority is to bring
    me bittersweet red appas.
[18:30] Marcos
    Everyone is waiting inside.
[18:32] Marcos
    Make haste, please.
[18:34] Priscilla
    As their superior, it is my privilege
    to keep the masses waiting.
[18:55] Emilia
    Subaru?
[18:57] Subaru
    Um... Emilia, I...
[19:01] Priscilla
    Is there a reason you stare at
    my manservant, half-wit?
[19:05] Subaru
    Get off! You'll give
    Emilia-tan the wrong idea!
[19:08] Roswaal
    My, how nice to see you, Priscilla-sama!
[19:11] Roswaal
    Do forgive my servant for troubling you so.
[19:19] Emilia
    Why are you here, Subaru?
[19:22] Emilia
    Didn't I tell you to be good and wait for me?
[19:26] Emilia
    Don't you remember?
[19:29] Marcos
    The council of wise men will now enter.
[19:38] Subaru
    The wise men...
[19:40] Subaru
    They're the people managing the country
    in the king's absence, right?
[19:45] Al
    Hey. That's where we're supposed to stand.
[19:48] Subaru
    I can stand there, too?
[19:49] Roswaal
    Well, now...
[19:51] Roswaal
    It sounds entertaining, so you
    may accompany him.
[19:54] Emilia
    Wait, Roswaal!
[19:56] ---
    If Subaru is allowed to stay, he'll—
[19:58] Roswaal
    Emilia-sama, the conference is beginning.
[20:01] ---
    To the center.
[20:09] Emilia
    You'll explain this to me later!
[20:14] Subaru
    Then, those are the participants
    in the royal selection.
[20:18] Subaru
    The candidates for the future ruler?
[20:21] Reinhard
    You came, after all, Subaru.
[20:24] Reinhard
    When I heard Emilia-sama would be here,
[20:27] Reinhard
    I suspected you'd be here, as well.
[20:29] Subaru
    Reinhard, I've been looking for you!
[20:31] Felix
    Hiya, Subaru-kyun!
[20:33] Subaru
    You...
[20:34] Reinhard
    Oh, Subaru, you know him?
[20:37] Subaru
    Huh? "Him"?
[20:38] Reinhard
    Yes. He is a knight, Felix Argyle.
[20:42] Reinhard
    Despite appearances, he is male.
[20:44] Subaru
    If you're a guy, what's the point in having
    those looks and even cat ears?
[20:48] Felix
    I don't know what to say.
[20:50] Felix
    You're the one who made the wrong
    assumption, Subaru-kyun!
[21:00] Reinhard
    Subaru, what's the matter?
[21:02] Subaru
    Where I'm from, this is the expression you
    make when seeing a romantic rival!
[21:08] Marcos
    Now, if I may be so forward,
[21:10] Marcos
    I, Marcos, leader of the Imperial Knights,
[21:13] ---
    will direct today's proceedings.
[21:16] Marcos
    It all happened about half a year ago,
[21:18] Marcos
    when members of the royal family,
    starting with the king,
[21:21] Marcos
    went into hiding, one by one, causing—
[21:23] Anastasia
    Listen...
[21:24] Anastasia
    I get that you wanna talk up a good
    show here, but I'm busy, you know.
[21:30] Anastasia
    As we say in Kararagi, "Time is money."
[21:34] Subaru
    Wait, the Kansai dialect? Are you kidding me?
[21:34] Anastasia
    If you're just repeating
    what we already know,
[21:37] Anastasia
    then why did y'all even gather us?
[21:37] Al
    Evidently, everyone in western
    Kararagi speaks that way.
[21:41] Crusch
    I agree.
[21:42] Marcos
    Crusch-sama, should the Karsten family
    head say something like that?
[21:46] Crusch
    Observing formality is important,
    but it is also a fact
[21:49] Crusch
    that our time is limited.
[21:51] Crusch
    It would be wise to inform us
    why we are here at once.
[21:55] Crusch
    Naturally, I do have a general idea.
[21:59] Miklotov
    You already know the purpose of this meeting?
[22:02] Crusch
    Yes, Lord Miklotov.
[22:04] ---
    For a drinking party, correct?
[22:06] Crusch
    One day, we will face each other as rivals.
[22:08] Crusch
    But by sharing the same table and drinks,
[22:11] Crusch
    we will learn about one another.
[22:15] Miklotov
    No, that is not correct.
[22:19] Crusch
    Felis, this isn't what you told me.
[22:21] Felix
    Oh, come on...
[22:23] ---
    All I said was,
    "Maybe it'll be a drinking party."
[22:28] Crusch
    I see. I jumped to conclusions.
[22:30] Crusch
    Forgive me. Allow me to
    retract what I just said.
[22:34] Anastasia
    Hey, now!
[22:35] ---
    Even if she backs down,
    my opinion isn't gonna change.
[22:38] Anastasia
    No need to explain the royal selection now.
[22:41] ---
    We already know.
[22:43] Anastasia
    Right?
[22:44] Emilia
    I think we should hear the—
[22:46] Anastasia
    Sorry, but I wasn't askin' your opinion.
[22:50] Subaru
    Why, you—
[22:51] Al
    Hey!
[22:53] ---
    I don't know what's up with the selection,
    so I'd kinda like to hear the rest.
[22:57] Miklotov
    Priscilla-sama, I'm told
    this man is your knight.
[23:02] Miklotov
    Have you explained the selection to him?
[23:04] Priscilla
    Either way, you men will
    ramble on about it, yes?
[23:09] Priscilla
    Continue, Marcos.
[23:11] Marcos
    Then...
[23:13] Marcos
    We've gathered you, who are qualified
    to be the dragon's priestess,
[23:17] Marcos
    because a new prophecy has been
    engraved in the Dragon Stone.
[23:21] Marcos
    It says, "From the five capable of
    becoming the nation's new leader,
[23:25] Marcos
    choose one priestess to enter into
    a covenant with the dragon."
[23:30] Subaru
    Five?
[23:31] Reinhard
    Yes, five.
[23:33] Reinhard
    Currently, there are only four candidates.
[23:36] Reinhard
    The royal selection hadn't even begun.
[23:41] Reinhard
    But today,
[23:42] Reinhard
    history is set in motion.
[23:45] Marcos
    Knight Reinhard van Astrea, come forward.
[23:48] Reinhard
    Yes, sir.
[23:54] Reinhard
    Honored members of the council of wise men,
[23:56] Reinhard
    I, Reinhard van Astrea,
     of the Imperial Knights,
[24:00] Reinhard
    would like to announce
    my mission's completion.
[24:04] Reinhard
    The dragon's priestess, the fifth and
    final candidate for the throne,
[24:09] Reinhard
    has been located.
[24:23] Reinhard
    The one I, myself, revere as queen.
[24:27] Reinhard
    Her name...
[24:29] Reinhard
    is Felt-sama.
