[00:03] Sariphi
    Sweet goodness!
[00:05] Amit
    Sugary treats make the best
    breaks from studying.
[00:09] Amit
    I hope you enjoy my Dionaea mille-feuille.
[00:13] Sariphi
    It's sweet and delicious!
[00:15] Sariphi
    I never knew you were so
    good at making desserts.
[00:18] Amit
    I lack magical power, but at the very least,
    I've been able to perfect my favorite treats.
[00:24] Amit
    When I bake with love,
    even I can make people smile.
[00:29] Amit
    It makes me so glad.
[00:31] Sariphi
    Really?
[00:33] Sariphi
    Then these pastries must be your magic.
[00:36] Sariphi
    That's why they're so good.
[00:39] Amit
    My! And your words are like
    magic to me, Lady Sariphi!
[00:45] Sariphi
    Would you teach me to bake today?
[00:48] Amit
    But of course!
[00:50] Amit
    Is there a gentleman for whom
    you'd like to make a treat?
[00:58] Amit
    Oh, Lady Sariphi! You're simply charming!
[01:01] Amit
    I could just gobble you up!
[01:03] Amit
    Munch, munch!
[01:05] Amit
    Munch, munch, munch!
[01:05] Jormungand
    Something smells pleasant.
[01:08] Cy; Clops
    Captain Jormungand!
[01:11] Amit
    C-Captain Jormungand! U-Um...
[01:16] Amit
    Would you care for one?
[01:18] Jormungand
    Why, Princess Amit.
[01:20] Jormungand
    While I am honored, I must train soon.
[01:24] Jormungand
    Human lady, I have business with you.
SIGN    The Holy Beast of Immortality and Rebirth
[03:06] Sariphi
    A royal council?
[03:08] Jormungand
    Yes. The king and his chief vassals
    have convened in the council chamber.
[03:14] Jormungand
    Chancellor Anubis requested
    that I escort you to join them.
[03:20] Sariphi
    The chancellor asked for me?
[03:22] Jormungand
    About Abi...
[03:24] Jormungand
    I know he has a sharp tongue.
[03:27] Jormungand
    I can't blame you for resenting him.
[03:30] Jormungand
    But all he does, he does to defend the king.
[03:35] Jormungand
    The line of Anubis has existed to serve
    the royal family for generations.
[03:40] Jormungand
    He would do anything to
    protect the king's throne.
[03:46] Jormungand
    Even if that meant defying the king's will.
[03:51] Anubis
    I wish to receive the Lady
    Sariphi as our formal queen.
[03:56] Leonhart
    What are you playing at, Anubis?
[04:00] Anubis
    Sire, I merely considered your
    strong feelings on this matter.
[04:04] Anubis
    However, I do wish to impose
    certain conditions.
[04:09] Leonhart
    What?
[04:10] Anubis
    I realize that we should not presume
    to test our future queen.
[04:15] Anubis
    That said,
[04:17] Anubis
    to present the people with a human,
    a former sacrifice of no noble rank,
[04:22] Anubis
    would sow disorder in the realm.
[04:25] Anubis
    Lady Sariphi must make herself the most
    accomplished consort in our history.
[04:31] Anubis
    Hence the conditions I propose.
[04:35] Anubis
    The first of these
[04:38] Anubis
    is that Lady Sariphi must learn
    to command a holy beast.
[04:45] Anubis
    Queens traditionally forge a pact
    with a holy beast when they marry.
[04:52] Anubis
    Commanding one of these divine messengers
    is a symbol of royal authority.
[04:59] Leonhart
    But Sariphi has no magical power.
    If she were to do such a thing,
[05:04] Leonhart
    it would consume her life instead.
[05:08] Leonhart
    You must know that.
[05:11] Leonhart
    And that isn't all.
[05:14] Leonhart
    If she mistakenly summons a wicked demon,
[05:19] Leonhart
    then it will claim her,
    since she lacks the power to resist,
[05:23] Leonhart
    and she'll wander hell for eternity,
    unable even to die.
[05:31] Anubis
    For that reason, we will
    not force the issue.
[05:35] Anubis
    Lady Sariphi is free to decide.
[05:38] Anubis
    Will you accept these trials or not?
[05:40] Anubis
    The choice is yours.
[05:45] Leonhart
    Out of the question!
[05:46] Leonhart
    I need not entertain such base proposals.
[05:50] Leonhart
    My queen is mine to choose!
[05:54] Sariphi
    Your Majesty.
[05:55] Leonhart
    Strike today's council from your memory.
[05:58] Leonhart
    I swear that I'll make them accept you.
[06:01] Leonhart
    I'll let no one stand between us.
[06:05] Sariphi
    But...
[06:07] (Flashback) Anubis
    ...would sow disorder in the realm.
[06:09] (Flashback) Jormungand
    But all he does, he does to defend the king.
[06:14] Leonhart
    Don't dwell on matters
    that don't concern you.
[06:17] Leonhart
    I will keep you safe.
[06:24] Clops
    Don't worry, Sariphi!
[06:26] Clops
    You don't need to endanger yourself!
    His Majesty will sort it out!
[06:30] Clops
    And we'll protect you, too!
[06:33] Cy
    Protect!
[06:34] Sariphi
    Thank you.
[06:35] Sariphi
    Why are the two of you so good to me?
[06:39] Clops
    His Majesty rescued us.
[06:42] Clops
    We're the runts of the Cyclopian Clan.
[06:45] Clops
    It takes two of us to do one beast's job.
[06:47] Clops
    But the king gave us honest work
    doing odd jobs around the palace.
[06:52] Clops
    What matters to His Majesty
    matters to us, too!
[06:57] Clops
    Besides...
[06:59] Clops
    You're nice to us, Sari,
    so we c-care about you!
[07:06] Cy
    Care about Sari!
[07:11] Jormungand
    Don't relax just because this is
    training! Watch your opponent!
[07:15] Jormungand
    Wild sword strokes will
    never strike the foe!
[07:18] Sariphi
    Everyone is choosing to do their parts.
[07:23] Sariphi
    They all care about the king
    in their own ways.
[07:28] Sariphi
    So...
[07:30] Sariphi
    So what do I do?
[07:32] Sariphi
    His Majesty might get in trouble
    and lose a lot because of me.
[07:42] Sariphi
    That makes me the only one being protected.
[07:46] Sariphi
    The only one.
[07:48] (Flashback) Anubis
    This girl is the latest offering.
[07:51] (Flashback) Anubis
    The 99th sacrifice.
[07:55] (Flashback) Leonhart
    I've eaten you.
[07:57] (Flashback) Leonhart
    Now you belong to me.
[08:00] Sariphi
    I need to be more prepared, too.
[08:03] Sariphi
    For what it means to stay
    by the king's side.
[08:13] Anubis
    I hereby witness that you have
    sealed this pledge in blood.
[08:18] Leonhart
    Sariphi! What is the meaning of this?!
[08:22] Sariphi
    I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
[08:24] Sariphi
    But I've made up my mind.
[08:27] Sariphi
    I've been doing my best to think
    of ways I can help you,
[08:32] Sariphi
    and I've finally found one.
[08:34] Sariphi
    This is the right thing for me to do now.
[08:38] Sariphi
    I need to win everyone's acceptance.
[08:42] Sariphi
    That will protect the king.
[08:46] Sariphi
    So...
[08:48] Sariphi
    I offer you my life.
[08:55] Amit
    She'll give her life force in place of magic?
[08:58] Amit
    W-Will that really be safe for Lady Sariphi?
[09:03] Clops
    That's not the only risk.
[09:05] Clops
    If she slips up and summons a wicked demon,
[09:08] Clops
    it'll possess her, and awful things will happen.
[09:11] Cy
    Awful!
[09:19] Sariphi
    Utogalia, utogalia, telek,
    tekitelemau, uyuriti,
[09:25] Sariphi
    niyono, kogashtawa, izansono,
[09:30] Sariphi
    tanagaleso, itoutla...
[09:32] Sariphi
    All my strength is... draining away.
[09:33] Sariphi
    ...kadata, nahwatanar.
[09:42] Amit
    Lady Sariphi!
[09:43] Amit
    Wh-What just happened?
[09:45] Clops
    She stopped before finishing the incantation.
[09:48] Clops
    When the spell fails,
    it rebounds on the caster.
[09:54] Sariphi
    So this is what happens when I mess up.
[09:58] Sariphi
    I feel so exhausted,
[10:00] Sariphi
    like I really did have
    the life sucked out of me.
[10:05] Sariphi
    But this is no time to lose heart.
[10:09] Sariphi
    I've only just started.
[10:11] Sariphi
    I'll do it this time.
[10:13] Sariphi
    Telek, tekitelemau, uyuriti...
[10:17] Clops
    Sariphi!
[10:20] Sariphi
    I can't move.
[10:23] Sariphi
    Maybe the king was right,
    and I really can't do this.
[10:28] Leonhart
    You can't complete that trial.
[10:31] (Flashback) Leonhart
    I swore that I would make you my queen.
[10:34] (Flashback) Leonhart
    Why did you do this without consulting me?!
[10:37] (Flashback) Sariphi
    I'm sorry, but I'm the only one
    who you just protect.
[10:42] (Flashback) Sariphi
    I'm the only one who can't do anything,
[10:44] (Flashback) Sariphi
    and I'm sick of it.
[10:47] Sariphi
    I made up my mind
[10:50] Sariphi
    that I'd do whatever I could, too.
[10:55] Amit
    Lady Sariphi...
[10:56] Amit
    Should she really be doing this
    after she collapsed yesterday?
[11:02] Clops
    A human can't perform the rite of
    summoning more than twice a day.
[11:08] Clops
    If she keeps failing, she'll be in danger.
[11:12] Sariphi
    I drew the magic circle right.
[11:15] Sariphi
    Now I just need to be careful
    with the incantation.
[11:19] Sariphi
    Utogalia, utogalia, telek,
    tekitelemau, uyuriti...
[11:27] Cy
    Sari!
[11:30] Jormungand
    If you wish to visit the human lady,
    I cannot let you pass.
[11:36] Amit
    B-But I truly fear for Lady Sariphi's safety!
[11:40] Jormungand
    If she has accepted the risks,
[11:43] Jormungand
    then those who watch over her must, as well.
[11:49] Amit
    Lady Sariphi...
[11:52] Sariphi
    I have to keep trying.
[11:56] Sariphi
    I've accepted the risks.
[11:58] Sariphi
    No matter how reckless this is
    or how it turns out,
[12:03] Sariphi
    I won't let that stop me!
[12:04] Sariphi
    Niyono, kogashtawa, izansono, tanagaleso...
[12:09] Cy; Clops
    Sari!
[12:17] Sariphi
    Sire?
[12:19] Anubis
    What are you doing, sire?
[12:22] Anubis
    The pledge states that she will not
    seek aid under any circumstances.
[12:28] Anubis
    And even you, sire, are no exception.
[12:32] Leonhart
    I'm not aiding her. I'm merely
    granting her a brief rest.
[12:36] Anubis
    Unacceptable.
[12:37] Anubis
    If you insist on such tortured logic,
[12:40] Anubis
    I must consider that she has
    abandoned this trial and...
[12:46] Leonhart
    I have not broken the terms,
    so I will not have my actions questioned.
[12:52] Leonhart
    Today's attempt is at an end.
[12:57] Sariphi
    Wait, sire.
[13:00] Sariphi
    I'm fine.
[13:02] Leonhart
    You've done all you can.
[13:05] Leonhart
    If you continue, you truly will die.
[13:10] Sariphi
    My life was always meant to be sacrificed.
[13:16] Sariphi
    I'm not the least bit scared of dying.
[13:20] Leonhart
    Fool!
[13:22] Leonhart
    Do not forget.
[13:24] Leonhart
    Your life was offered up to me.
[13:29] Leonhart
    It is my property.
[13:31] Leonhart
    Don't make me lose you!
[13:42] Sariphi
    Sire...
[13:47] Anubis
    Why, Lady Sariphi.
[13:49] Anubis
    I didn't see you for a whole day,
    so I assumed you had fled from...
[14:02] Sariphi
    What have I been doing all this time?
[14:07] Sariphi
    Utogalia, utogalia, telek,
    tekitelemau, uyuriti,
[14:12] Sariphi
    niyono, kogashtawa, izansono...
[14:19] Amit
    Could this be... success?!
[14:21] Clops
    She hadn't finished the incantation!
[14:24] Jormungand
    But it's clearly different
    from her previous failures.
[14:28] Anubis
    She and her garments aren't burning.
    These fell flames consume her within.
[14:34] Anubis
    Has the wench summoned
    a wicked demon at last?!
[14:38] Sariphi
    When I gave up my life for the king,
[14:44] Sariphi
    did I want to make him look
    like that from now on?
[14:50] Sariphi
    No.
[14:57] Sariphi
    ...tanagaleso, itoutla, kadata, nahwatanar!
[15:02] Anubis
    What?!
[15:04] Leonhart
    Yes!
[15:06] Leonhart
    A holy beast bonds with its master's soul.
[15:10] Leonhart
    Those whose hearts are wicked or weak
[15:15] Leonhart
    and those who deny the future
    cannot behold them.
[15:18] Leonhart
    Have hope!
[15:20] Sariphi
    I need to live! With His Majesty—with Leo!
[15:34] Sariphi
    C-Could this be...
[15:39] Sariphi
    ...a holy beast?
[15:42] Sariphi
    It's smaller than I expected.
[15:50] Leonhart
    Well done, Sariphi.
[15:53] Sariphi
    Thanks.
[15:59] Bennu
    What're you staring at me for?
    You wanna throw down?
[16:02] Bennu
    I'll beat your stupid,
    ugly mugs black and blue.
[16:05] Clops
    I can't make out a word you're saying.
[16:08] Clops
    This meal was supposed to help
    get Sari's strength back!
[16:12] Cy
    No eat!
[16:13] Sariphi
    It's all right, Cy, Clops.
[16:16] Sariphi
    He came all the way here for me.
[16:20] Sariphi
    Although...
[16:22] Bennu
    You think this cheap grub is good
    enough for me, lunkheads?
[16:26] Sariphi
    ...he's awfully rude.
[16:28] Bennu
    I ain't just any holy beast.
[16:33] Bennu
    Only I have the powers
    of immortality and rebirth.
[16:38] Bennu
    You can call me Bennu the Great,
    the one and only phoenix.
[16:42] Sariphi
    Phoenix?
[16:43] Bennu
    I may not be much to look at now,
[16:46] Bennu
    but I was once a sacred bird
    with gold and scarlet plumage.
[16:50] Bennu
    People called me the most beautiful
    and sublime holy beast out there.
[16:55] Sariphi
    Wow, Mr. Phoenix! That's amazing!
[16:59] Bennu
    You bet. A big shot like me is wasted
    on a little human girlie like you.
[17:04] Bennu
    Now that you know, show me some
    reverence, you brainless dolt.
[17:08] Anubis
    That is the fabled phoenix?
[17:10] Cy; Clops
    Lord Anubis!
[17:12] Anubis
    I beg your pardon, Lady Sariphi,
    but that scrawny, vulgar creature
[17:17] Bennu
    Hey! Watch it!
[17:17] Anubis
    can hardly be the phoenix,
    a divine messenger.
[17:19] Bennu
    Who're you calling a
    "scrawny, vulgar creature"?!
[17:21] Sariphi
    But that's what he says he is.
[17:21] Bennu
    Say that again! I dare you!
[17:23] Bennu
    Hey, dog-breath! You making fun of me?!
[17:26] Bennu
    I'm the phoenix! I've lived a
    hundred times longer than you!
[17:30] Bennu
    I'll knock your block off, jackass!
[17:30] Amit
    Lady Sariphi, can you understand
    what the holy beast is saying?
[17:33] Bennu
    Don't look down your nose
    at me from way up there!
[17:34] Sariphi
    Yup. He's been talking this whole time.
[17:36] Bennu
    I want grub!
[17:39] Anubis
    Admittedly, holy beasts can be
    understood only by their summoners,
[17:44] Anubis
    but my issue is not with
    the truth of the matter.
[17:47] Anubis
    I want to know if the people will accept...
    that as the holy beast of their queen.
[17:54] Anubis
    That beast could not possibly
    appear less phoenix-like.
[17:57] Anubis
    It won't do, unless by some miracle
    it were to assume a more regal form.
[18:05] Anubis
    But that hardly seems likely.
[18:07] Anubis
    That sorry excuse for a bird can't even fly.
[18:14] Speaker A
    Chancellor! Was it wise to say that?
    If by some chance...
[18:18] Anubis
    Have no fear.
[18:20] Anubis
    That holy beast appears to have long
    since exhausted its sacred power.
[18:24] Anubis
    It is but a shell of its former self.
[18:26] Speaker B
    B-But even so...
[18:29] Anubis
    If you are so concerned, why not devise
    a plan of your own on occasion?
[18:37] Sariphi
    Okay, Mr. Phoenix,
[18:39] Sariphi
    follow my lead.
[18:41] Bennu
    What's that fancy getup for, girlie?
[18:45] Sariphi
    I just made it in a hurry.
[18:48] Sariphi
    Baby birds learn to fly by
    watching their parents, right?
[18:53] Bennu
    Who're you calling a baby?!
[18:55] Sariphi
    All right, watch closely!
[18:58] Bennu
    Hold it, featherbrain!
[19:02] Sariphi
    N-Now you try.
[19:05] Bennu
    Like hell I will!
[19:07] Sariphi
    Okay, I'll fan you, so ride the breeze!
[19:11] Bennu
    I'm just getting blown around, you moron!
[19:16] Amit
    I hope Lady Sariphi will be all right.
[19:19] Amit
    She's hasn't even fully recovered yet.
[19:24] Bennu
    Time out! I quit!
[19:27] Sariphi
    Mr. Phoenix...
[19:28] Bennu
    I'm fed up with this crap!
[19:31] Bennu
    I know better than anybody.
[19:33] Bennu
    I used up all my power.
    I'm just a chicken carcass now.
[19:40] (Flashback) Beast Soldier A
    Is that it for your power of rebirth?!
[19:42] (Flashback) Beast Soldier B
    The battlefield's still littered
    with wounded soldiers!
[19:45] (Flashback) Beast Soldier C
    Shield me!
[19:47] (Flashback) Beast Soldier D
    You're immortal, right?!
[19:50] Bennu
    I'll never be able to fly again.
[19:53] Bennu
    But so what?! Being grounded won't kill me!
[19:58] Sariphi
    I'm sorry, Mr. Phoenix.
[20:01] Sariphi
    I shouldn't have pushed you.
[20:04] Sariphi
    I thought that, in truth, you wanted
    to fly more than anyone else.
[20:10] Sariphi
    But please don't put yourself
    down as you are now.
[20:14] Sariphi
    I had nothing,
[20:17] Sariphi
    but still, you came to me.
[20:20] (Flashback) Leonhart
    Well done.
[20:21] Sariphi
    You gave me so much confidence.
[20:25] Sariphi
    Even if you're a bit small,
    even if you can't fly,
[20:29] Sariphi
    to me, you're a magnificent holy beast.
[20:36] Sariphi
    Mr. Phoenix, it's breakfast time!
[20:41] Sariphi
    Is that...
[20:48] Sariphi
    Mr. Phoenix?
[20:52] Assassin A
    C-Can we really get away with this, boss?
[20:56] Assassin A
    Sneaking into the royal palace and...
[20:59] Assassin B
    Just shut up and keep watch!
[21:01] Assassin B
    Killing this one lousy bird pays enough
    for us to live on for half a year.
[21:05] Assassin B
    Easiest money I ever heard of.
[21:09] Bennu
    Why the hell am I doing this?
[21:12] Bennu
    Who cares if I can't fly?
[21:15] Bennu
    Who needs to look good?
[21:18] Bennu
    This way, no one'll overwork me.
[21:22] Bennu
    No one'll need me anymore.
[21:26] (Flashback) Beast Soldiers
    This is the phoenix? What a joke.
[21:30] (Flashback) Beast Soldiers
    We don't need this thing.
[21:34] Bennu
    Now, no one...
[21:37] Bennu
    No one...
[21:44] Sariphi
    Mr. Phoenix!
[21:47] Sariphi
    Hang in there!
[21:48] Sariphi
    I know you can fly!
[21:55] Sariphi
    Yes!
[21:59] Bennu
    Wha?
[22:04] Bennu
    I-Is she brain-dead?!
[22:07] Bennu
    Who jumps to save a bird that can't die?!
[22:10] Bennu
    You've gotta be the biggest idiot alive, you...
[22:14] Bennu
    halfwit numbskull!
[22:24] Sariphi
    M-Mr. Phoenix! You got your power back?!
[22:28] Sariphi
    But how?
[22:29] Bennu
    Moron. Immortality and rebirth
    are mine to command.
[22:35] Bennu
    As long as you believe in me,
    I'll always come back.
[22:42] Guard
    Wh-What's that?!
[22:43] Speaker A
    I-It can't be!
[22:48] El
    Mommy, a holy beast.
[22:50] Mal
    Don't be silly. Holy beasts
    only appear at festivals.
[22:55] Rog
    El! We've got a customer.
[22:57] El
    O-Okay.
[23:01] Bennu
    Man, I haven't flown in ages.
    Even you're heavy for me, girlie.
[23:06] Bennu
    So get off, nincompoop!
[23:09] Sariphi
    Huh?!
[23:10] Sariphi
    As long as someone believes in me,
[23:17] Sariphi
    I can be strong...
[23:21] Sariphi
    as many times as it takes.
[23:30] Sariphi
    I'll translate: "Bennu just
    loves the chancellor!"
[23:34] Bennu
    When did I say that, numbskull?!
    Don't put words in my mouth!
