**[00:06] Gar**
* A search of the room belonging*
* to the vampire girl serving Physis*
**[00:11] Gar**
* revealed that she was investigating*
* a certain rumor on campus.*
**[00:16] Gar**
* One about a ghost in the*
* ruins of the old library.*
**[00:20] Sof**
Most of the records on the school
were lost in a fire.
**[00:26] Gar**
When the old library burned down?
**[00:29] Sof**
It's said that the head librarian at the time
**[00:31] Sof**
was a double agent for Physis.
**[00:34] Gar**
That can't be!
**[00:37] Sof**
His name was Genius.
**[00:39] Sof**
And it was Faria's ancestor,
Eunomia, who defeated him.
**[00:44] Sof**
They say Genius's curse
continues to haunt this school.
**[00:49] Gar**
You mean he...
**[00:51] Sof**
It's a popular ghost story.
**[00:57] Cla**
Gareth!
**[01:00] Gar**
Claire?
**[01:01] Cla**
I brought you those records
you wanted about the old library.
**[01:04] Gar**
Thank you.
**[01:06] Cla**
Er, do you mind if I ask why
you're looking into the old library?
**[01:10] Cla**
The site is off-limits, you know!
**[01:12] Cla**
And there's a rumor about a ghost...
**[01:15] Gar**
I appreciate the help.
**[01:17] Cla**
U-Um!
**[01:18] Cla**
If there's anything else
you need me to investigate, I'll—
**[01:22] Gar**
No, this is sufficient for now.
**[01:24] Gar**
If you'll excuse me.
**[01:30] Cla**
I just want to help...
***SIGN*** Holiday -Festival-
**[03:03] Nemo**
It sure is lively, isn't it?
**[03:06] Far**
The school festival is coming up.
**[03:08] Nemo**
School festival?
**[03:10] Far**
It's a celebration put on
by the student body.
**[03:13] Far**
There will be a variety
of exhibitions and events.
**[03:15] Far**
It's a most exciting time.
**[03:18] Far**
The student council even...
**[03:20] ---**
Huh?
**[03:21] Nemo**
What is it?
**[03:22] Far**
The door's a bit stuck.
**[03:26] Cla**
May I?
**[03:32] Cla**
Separation is one of the
fundamentals of alchemy.
**[03:36] Far**
Thank you again, Claire.
**[03:40] Cla**
Personally, I wish I was better
at attachment than separation...
**[03:45] Cla**
Oh, Gareth...
**[03:49] Far**
You really are in love
with Gareth, aren't you?
**[03:53] Cla**
W-W-Well, you don't have to just
come out and say it like that...
**[03:56] Cla**
Though I guess it is pretty obvious...
**[04:00] Nemo**
Love?
**[04:01] Far**
Nemo?
**[04:02] Nemo**
Oh, I was just thinking about
what that really means.
**[04:07] Cla**
How philosophical!
**[04:09] Cla**
For me, when I think of Gareth,
my heart aches and flutters.
**[04:15] Nemo**
When you think of him?
**[04:18] Cla**
Yes! He saved me from a monster once,
**[04:22] Cla**
and I've admired him
like a prince ever since!
**[04:29] Nemo**
Admiration? Is that what love means?
**[04:38] Cla**
I was hoping to invite him to the dance...
**[04:41] Nemo**
What dance?
**[04:42] Far**
It's a nighttime tradition
at the school festival.
**[04:46] Cla**
It's brought lots of couples together!
**[04:52] Cla**
But... I'm sure Gareth wouldn't want me.
**[04:56] Cla**
I'm no help to him at all.
**[05:02] Nemo**
You're really okay leaving things like this?
**[05:05] Nemo**
You may regret it later,
and you may never get another chance.
**[05:09] Nemo**
Besides, we could die at any time.
**[05:13] Far**
That's a bit extreme.
**[05:17] Nemo**
Is it?
**[05:18] Far**
But he does have a point.
**[05:20] Far**
I think it's good to be brave.
**[05:23] Cla**
President...
**[05:25] Cla**
Nemo...
**[05:27] Cla**
Yes, you're right.
**[05:29] Cla**
I don't want to regret this.
**[05:32] Cla**
I'll ask Gareth to the dance,
even if I'm doomed to fail!
**[05:35] Far**
Good. That's the spirit.
**[05:37] Cla**
Thank you!
**[05:39] Cla**
Speaking of...
**[05:41] Cla**
Have you decided who you'll
be dancing with, President?
**[05:44] Far**
Me?
**[05:46] Far**
Actually...
**[05:50] Far**
No, never mind.
**[05:51] Cla**
Oho! I see, I see.
**[05:55] Cla**
Let's both be brave, President!
**[05:58] Far**
What? Wait, that isn't what I—
**[06:04] Jou**
Who I wanna dance with the
night of the festival, huh?
**[06:08] Jou**
What a great question, Nemo!
**[06:10] Jou**
That's—
**[06:11] Gil**
His beloved Miss Sophitia, right?
**[06:14] Jo**
You a mind-reader or somethin'?!
**[06:15] Jo**
When'd you learn to do that?!
**[06:17] Gil**
It'd be more shocking if I *hadn't* guessed it.
**[06:20] Nemo**
So you love Sophitia, Jou?
**[06:24] Jo**
H-Hey! Don't just come out
and say it like that...
**[06:29] Nemo**
I'm seeing a lot of that body language today.
**[06:32] Gil**
Looks like the big man is still
just a kid when it comes to love.
**[06:35] Jo**
Shaddap! What about you?
**[06:38] Gil**
Me?
**[06:39] Gil**
I'm free right now.
**[06:40] Jo**
The heck? Then we're in the same boat—
**[06:43] Gil**
Given my position,
it's difficult to pick a favorite.
**[06:47] Jo**
Go figure, Mr. Prince...
**[06:49] Gil**
Say, Nemo, how are things going
with you and the president of late?
**[06:53] Nemo**
With me and Faria? Why do you ask?
**[06:55] Jo**
Wow, he's got the oblivious act down pat.
**[06:57] Gil**
She spent your recovery
nursing you back to health.
**[06:59] Gil**
I thought you were well on your way.
**[07:03] Shir**
There you are.
**[07:06] Nemo**
Shirley?
**[07:07] Shir**
Nemo,
**[07:08] Shir**
do you know who you'll be dancing
with at the school festival yet?
**[07:12] Nemo**
No, no idea.
**[07:13] Shir**
I see.
**[07:15] Shir**
Then might I reserve that honor?
**[07:20] Shir**
Think about it.
**[07:21] Shir**
Till next time.
**[07:24] Jo**
Whoa, whoa...
**[07:25] Jo**
I've never seen the iron lady of the
disciplinary committee like that...
**[07:28] Gil**
Nemo, did something go down
between you and Shirley?
**[07:33] Nemo**
That's a secret, I think?
**[07:36] Gil**
Seriously? What happened?!
**[07:38] Jo**
Yeah, you gotta fill us in!
**[07:40] Gil**
Spill the beans!
**[07:41] Nemo**
I told you, it's a secret...
**[07:42] Jo**
You're not gonna tell us?!
**[07:43] Gil**
Talk!
**[07:45] Far**
And now, it's time to decide
the student council's event.
**[07:49] Jo**
Yeah!
**[07:50] Gil**
The moment has come!
**[07:52] Nemo**
Our event?
**[07:53] Ell**
What the Seven Knights will
be doing for the school festival.
**[07:59] Far**
Does anyone have any ideas?
**[08:01] Gil**
Me, me!
**[08:01] Gil**
Cafés are totally cliché.
**[08:03] Gil**
What about a chic bar or something?
**[08:05] Shir**
Overruled by the disciplinary committee.
**[08:07] Gil**
I'm drinking age in my country, though...
**[08:10] Jou**
Okay, how about a thrilling fighting
tournament?! Them against us!
**[08:14] Gil**
No, that sounds exhausting.
**[08:17] Jou**
It's not exhausting! What's wrong with you?
**[08:20] Gar**
This is foolish.
**[08:22] Far**
Gareth?
**[08:23] Gar**
Doesn't this all seem a bit frivolous to you?
**[08:26] Gar**
We've barely found any clues
regarding Physis's presence here.
**[08:30] Nemo**
Physis...
**[08:31] Far**
But...
**[08:32] Shir**
We should set an example
for the other students
**[08:35] Shir**
and show them it's acceptable
to relieve stress.
**[08:38] Gil**
What a surprising show of support!
**[08:40] Gil**
Say, Shirley, I think you've
loosened up a bit lately.
**[08:43] Shir**
I don't know what you're talking about.
**[08:45] Gar**
I see.
**[08:46] Gar**
Do as you like, then.
**[08:48] Gar**
And I'll do the same.
**[08:50] Gar**
Don't worry. I'll help out
with whatever you decide.
**[08:56] Jou**
Well, can't blame the guy.
**[08:58] Jou**
His hometown was razed by
the servants of destruction,
**[09:00] Jou**
so he hates them more than most of us.
**[09:03] Nemo**
Physis destroyed his home?
**[09:07] Far**
Well, let's get back to brainstorming!
**[09:11] Gil**
I want an all-day bar—
**[09:12] Shir**
Overruled.
**[09:13] Gil**
Then a maid—
**[09:13] Shir**
Overruled.
**[09:14] Jo**
Then a fighting tournament—
**[09:15] Shir**
Overruled!
**[09:21] Cla**
Excuse me!
**[09:22] Gar**
I'm sorry, but could you please
not bother me right now?
**[09:25] Cla**
It's not like that!
**[09:27] Cla**
I want to help more with your investigation.
**[09:32] Cla**
I was thinking that searching the old
Alchemy Research Institute records
**[09:35] Cla**
might yield something.
**[09:36] Gar**
But that's...
**[09:38] Cla**
I want to help you!
**[09:40] Cla**
Please let me!
**[09:45] Gar**
I have no way to repay you.
**[09:49] Cla**
That isn't true.
**[09:53] Cla**
Just be my partner for the student festival.
**[09:58] Cla**
That's all I want.
**[10:03] Gar**
Very well.
**[10:06] Cla**
Really?
**[10:08] Cla**
I'll do my best, then.
**[10:09] Cla**
And if I find anything, let's dance!
**[10:11] Cla**
It's a promise!
**[10:19] Gar**
I'm a cruel man.
**[10:31] Stu**
Wow!
**[10:37] Girl**
Oh, woe is me!
**[10:39] Girl**
My beloved was a servant of destruction!
**[10:42] Boy**
What a tragedy!
**[10:44] Boy**
Thus the old library was
consumed in flame,
**[10:48] Both**
and everything related to it was cursed!
**[11:00] Jou**
Stuck with a café in the end...
**[11:02] Jou**
A tournament or martial arts
demonstration woulda been better.
**[11:06] Gil**
Yeah, yeah.
**[11:07] Gil**
Quit whining and get to work.
**[11:09] Gil**
Here you are, my ladies.
**[11:13] Nemo**
Gildan's really taken to this.
**[11:15] Ell**
Well, the rest of the student body
really admires the Seven Knights.
**[11:21] Gar**
Honestly.
**[11:23] Gar**
I do believe we have
better things to be doing.
**[11:27] Gar**
You there. Tell me your order at once.
**[11:30] Girl**
R-Right!
**[11:31] Girl**
Gareth is so cold,
**[11:33] Girl**
but we love that about him!
**[11:35] Far**
Well, I guess that's fine...
**[11:39] Shir**
Pardon.
**[11:40] Shir**
Could I get some help in the kitchen?
**[11:42] Far**
I'd be happy to—
**[11:43] Jou**
No, no, no, no!
**[11:44] Jou**
You stay with the customers, President!
**[11:46] Jou**
I got this!
**[11:47] Ell**
You'd take us from a café
to a croquette stall.
**[11:51] Nemo**
This has turned out to be so much fun.
**[11:54] Far**
Nemo?
**[11:56] Nemo**
It's so nice to do something
other than battle with you guys.
**[12:02] Far**
How true.
**[12:09] Far**
Um, by the way, Nemo...
**[12:11] Far**
About the dance tonight...
**[12:14] Far**
If you wouldn't mind...
**[12:17] Far**
I was wondering if you'd be my partner.
**[12:21] Nemo**
Oh, actually, Shirley already asked me.
**[12:24] ---**
What?
**[12:26] Shir**
I-Indeed.
**[12:28] Shir**
I did.
**[12:31] Ell**
Coming right up!
**[12:34] Shir**
This is perfect timing, Nemo.
**[12:35] Shir**
Will you give me your answer now?
**[12:38] Far**
Who would you rather dance with?
Me or Shirley?
**[12:41] Nemo**
Er... Do I have to choose?
**[12:43] Far**
You do!
**[12:45] Nemo**
I c-can't dance with both of you?
**[12:48] Far**
Of course not!
**[12:49] Shir**
You only get one dance partner.
**[12:51] Far**
You have to make up your mind!
**[12:53] Nemo**
W-Well...
**[12:55] Gil**
Hey, Nemo!
**[12:56] Gil**
Could you take this to Miss Sophitia?
**[12:59] Nemo**
Oh, sure!
**[13:01] Nemo**
Sorry.
**[13:01] Nemo**
Let's talk later!
**[13:03] Far**
Hey!
**[13:08] Gar**
*The dance, eh?*
**[13:12] Soph**
Thank you.
**[13:13] Soph**
I so love croquettes!
**[13:15] Soph**
You seem to be enjoying the school festival.
**[13:18] Nemo**
Yes, I suppose...
**[13:22] Nemo**
Um, could I ask you something?
**[13:24] Soph**
Of course. I'm happy to be of service.
**[13:28] Nemo**
I don't really get it.
**[13:30] Nemo**
If you admire someone
and want to be with them...
**[13:33] Nemo**
That's love, isn't it?
**[13:36] Soph**
That's right, although
love takes many forms.
**[13:40] Nemo**
When people fall in love,
**[13:42] Nemo**
they begin to behave differently.
**[13:45] Nemo**
But unlike them,
that hasn't happened to me.
**[13:50] Nemo**
So what is it I'm feeling?
**[13:55] Nemo**
This emotion...
**[13:57] Nemo**
I was wondering if it's
something other than love.
**[14:03] Soph**
I see.
**[14:04] Soph**
You're going through adolescence.
**[14:06] Nemo**
Adolescence?
**[14:07] Soph**
It's a normal part of growing up.
**[14:11] Soph**
I believe what you're feeling may
fall under the category of love.
**[14:16] Nemo**
You think so?
**[14:18] Soph**
Love is the desire to help the one you love.
**[14:23] Soph**
But everyone expresses
that in a different way.
**[14:28] Soph**
And a single person can be
in love with many people,
**[14:32] Soph**
just with different orders of priority.
**[14:35] Nemo**
Priority?
**[14:37] Nemo**
You mean... like choosing
someone over someone else?
**[14:41] Soph**
Yes.
**[14:42] Soph**
Though it would be preferable
if we didn't have to choose
**[14:45] Soph**
and could simply love everyone equally.
**[14:57] Jou**
You're late, Nemo.
**[14:59] Jou**
The café's closed.
**[15:00] Nemo**
Oh, sorry.
**[15:02] Nemo**
Where's Faria?
**[15:03] Gil**
She went to the student
council room with Ellen.
**[15:06] Gil**
She's a workaholic, even on days like this.
**[15:09] Nemo**
Really?
**[15:10] Jou**
I heard the whole thing, loverboy.
**[15:12] Jou**
You got yourself an invitation
from both Shirley *and* the president.
**[15:15] Gil**
Which one are you gonna dance with?
**[15:18] Gil**
It's almost time for the dance,
**[15:20] Gil**
so there's not much time to lose!
**[15:21] Nemo**
Well, actually...
**[15:31] Shir**
Do you have an answer for me?
**[15:34] Nemo**
About that, Shirley...
**[15:36] Nemo**
I was wondering if, rather than me,
**[15:39] Nemo**
you wanted to ask Ellen.
**[15:42] Nemo**
She's the one you were
really watching earlier,
**[15:46] Nemo**
so I thought that might be
how you really felt.
**[15:51] Shir**
I can't ask her.
**[15:54] Nemo**
Shirley?
**[15:55] Shir**
I'm a vampire.
**[15:57] Shir**
I can't live without Ellen.
**[16:00] Shir**
But it's an unrequited need...
**[16:05] Shir**
I don't know how Ellen feels.
**[16:07] Shir**
She'd never approach me on her own.
**[16:12] Shir**
I don't know exactly how I feel either.
**[16:15] Shir**
It's possible I invited you out of spite,
**[16:17] Shir**
to vent my frustration.
**[16:20] Shir**
I'm rather devious, aren't I?
**[16:24] Shir**
I'm sorry.
**[16:26] Shir**
I won't be dancing with anyone after all.
**[16:29] Nemo**
Shirley...
**[16:32] Stu**
Shirley! I don't know
where the furniture goes.
**[16:37] Shir**
Coming!
**[16:50] Cla**
It's almost time for the dance.
**[16:53] Cla**
What'll I do?
**[16:54] Cla**
I really need to find something.
**[16:57] Cla**
But of course there's nothing left
here at the old library.
**[17:06] Cla**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[17:10] Cla**
Where am I?
**[17:16] Cla**
Is this a door?
**[17:21] Cla**
It won't open.
**[17:24] Cla**
Maybe I can apply a form of separation...
**[17:32] Cla**
It worked!
**[17:36] Cla**
If I find something and make it back...
**[17:39] Cla**
I'll be helping Gareth, won't I?
**[17:51] Nemo**
The dance is about to start.
**[17:54] Shir**
I told you I wasn't going
to dance with anyone.
**[17:59] Nemo**
Someone told me once...
**[18:02] Nemo**
that everyone expresses
their love differently.
**[18:08] Nemo**
I think people change when they fall in love.
**[18:14] Nemo**
So don't you think it's all right?
**[18:17] Nemo**
If you're a little devious about it.
**[18:19] Shir**
Nemo...
**[18:22] Shir**
When I really think about it,
she's the most devious of all.
**[18:27] Nemo**
You mean Ellen?
**[18:28] Shir**
Yes.
**[18:30] Shir**
Always smiling and claiming
to just go with the flow...
**[18:35] Shir**
The dance might be the perfect
way to bring things to light.
**[18:41] ---**
Shirley...
**[18:42] Shir**
Thank you, Nemo.
**[18:44] Shir**
You've helped me to make up my mind.
**[18:47] Shir**
Now...
**[18:49] Shir**
You'll be dancing
with the president, won't you?
**[18:53] Shir**
She's one person without a
trace of deviousness in her.
**[18:57] Shir**
You had better not make her cry.
**[19:00] Shir**
Right.
**[19:09] Shir**
Ellen, may I have a moment?
**[19:12] ---**
Sure.
**[19:13] Shir**
As for you, President...
**[19:26] Nemo**
I-Is this the right way?
**[19:29] Far**
Yes. You're doing quite well, Nemo.
**[19:32] Nemo**
There's still a lot I don't understand,
**[19:36] Nemo**
but there is one thing I know for sure...
**[19:41] Nemo**
I'm so glad I met you all!
**[19:43] Far**
Nemo...
**[20:07] Clai**
This book...
**[20:10] Clai**
Is that a seal of some kind?
**[20:24] Gar**
She's not coming, then?
**[20:28] Cla**
Gareth.
**[20:30] Gar**
Claire... Where have you been?
**[20:32] Cla**
I'm not entirely sure.
**[20:34] Cla**
Um, I'm really sorry.
**[20:37] Cla**
I couldn't find anything.
**[20:40] Gar**
That's all right.
**[20:42] Gar**
We should hurry before it's over.
**[20:46] Gar**
Did we not promise to dance?
**[20:52] Cla**
Yes!
**[20:58] Cla**
I'm so happy.
**[21:00] Cla**
Dancing with you is like a dream.
**[21:04] Gar**
Surely not.
**[21:06] Cla**
It's true. Right now...
**[21:11] Cla**
I'm the happiest I've ever been.
**[21:15] Gar**
Really?
