[00:00] (Flashback) Orphen
    There is no god... and humanity
    still can't stand on its own.
[00:04] (Flashback) Orphen
    But... we won't despair!
[00:10] (Flashback) Jack
    The name's Jack Frisbee.
SIGN    Lord Almagest
[01:58] Orphen
    This isn't supposed to be
    a grave for some pet.
[02:00] Orphen
    I promise I'll do something
    better for you back in Tafrem,
[02:04] Orphen
    instead of this crappy place.
[02:07] Orphen
    Though, one might already be
    prepared for you there...
[02:10] Orphen
    if the ones who hired Irgitte for this
    mission assumed she wouldn't be coming back.
[02:17] Lottecia
    Orphen.
[02:18] Orphen
    Lottecia.
[02:19] Lottecia
    You made her a grave?
[02:21] Orphen
    It's nothing that fancy.
[02:23] Lottecia
    I'm sorry I got in your way...
[02:26] Lottecia
    Um... She was your older sister, right?
[02:30] Lottecia
    I can't say that I saw the resemblance,
[02:33] Lottecia
    but I've also lost a family member
    before, so I understand how you feel.
[02:38] Orphen
    Does she think this is Tish's grave?
[02:43] Lottecia
    What happened here yesterday?
[02:46] Orphen
    In a single night, an
    assassin from the sanctuary
[02:48] Orphen
    killed every resident and guest in the mansion.
[02:52] Lottecia
    An assassin?
[02:54] Orphen
    If Corgon was here, we might've
    been able to stop this.
[02:57] Lottecia
    Are you saying you couldn't stop this alone?
[03:01] Orphen
    Well, it's partially because it was a
    difficult situation to use Sorcery in.
[03:05] Orphen
    But the enemy was also extremely skilled.
[03:08] Orphen
    Since the Stabbers from the Thirteen
    Apostles that tried to face him head on
[03:12] Orphen
    were killed in such a horrifying way,
[03:15] Orphen
    I couldn't be careless in fighting him.
[03:31] Orphen
    The lord...
[03:36] Orphen
    The one I saw last night was...
[03:40] Orphen
    He was definitely dead, no
    matter how you look at it.
[03:44] Orphen
    And yet, he is clearly alive right now.
[03:46] Lottecia
    Um...
[03:48] Lottecia
    What happened to Claiomh and Majic?
[03:50] Lottecia
    I haven't seen them since this morning.
[03:52] Orphen
    Who knows?
[03:54] Orphen
    Those two went along with the lord
    somewhere... And they were acting weird.
[03:59] Lottecia
    I figured...
[04:02] Orphen
    Would you help me with something?
[04:05] Lottecia
    Help you?
[04:06] Orphen
    I want you to investigate those two.
[04:09] Orphen
    See if they're being mentally
    manipulated by Damian.
[04:11] Orphen
    See if they're actually themselves.
[04:14] Lottecia
    Sure... But what if I end up
    mentally manipulated, too?
[04:21] Orphen
    Then we'll know that Damian
    is an enemy for sure.
[04:24] Orphen
    There's not much difference in
    two or three being brainwashed.
[04:28] Lottecia
    That's a really mean thing to say.
[04:31] Orphen
    As soon as we figure out if they're the
    enemy or not, I'll take care of it.
[04:35] Dortin
    We're done for...
[04:37] Dortin
    We've been surrounded by the world's
    deadliest creatures, and we're doomed...
[04:43] Volkan
    Are we in a bad situation?
[04:45] Volkan
    I'm apparently being stomped on by this
    giant black dog, but it's not too bad.
[04:51] Dortin
    Uh... you know, maybe you are
    pretty amazing, Big Bro.
[04:57] Volkan
    Yeah, that's right! Respect me!
[04:59] Volkan
    I, the Bulldog of Masmaturia, Vulcano
    Volkan, can never be respected enough!
[05:09] Dortin
    Huh?
[05:16] Dortin
    Huh?!
[05:17] Leticia
    I can't believe it took this long
    to do a spatial transfer...
[05:20] Leticia
    Honestly... You've always been so clumsy.
[05:24] Dortin
    Um... Are you all right?
[05:27] Leticia
    Oh, looks like you're alive.
[05:32] Leticia
    Thank... goodness...
[05:42] Orphen
    What a fancy place.
[05:45] Damian
    Yes. This place was originally created
    as the embassy to the sanctuary
[05:49] Damian
    to engage in diplomacy.
[05:53] Damian
    If you're interested in this place,
    just ask, and I shall give you a tour.
[05:57] Orphen
    Why did you make the
    bodies disappear?
[05:59] Damian
    Bodies?
[06:00] Orphen
    The ones from last night.
[06:02] Orphen
    When I woke up this morning, there wasn't
    a single one left in the yard or in here,
[06:04] Orphen
    like everything that happened
    last night didn't happen.
[06:08] Orphen
    You got rid of them, didn't you?
[06:10] Damian
    Would you have preferred to
    have them lying around still?
[06:13] Orphen
    Was there something about the bodies
    you didn't want me to find out?
[06:16] Damian
    Is there anything else you'd like to ask?
[06:20] Orphen
    Where's Winona?
[06:21] Damian
    I took her to the soldiers' station.
[06:23] Orphen
    She's the only one of the lord's bodyguards
    that's still alive, isn't she?
[06:27] Orphen
    If she's not that hurt, maybe
    she should stay by the lord.
[06:31] Damian
    You're already performing that role.
[06:33] Orphen
    I don't remember ever agreeing to that.
[06:36] Damian
    You'll change your mind
    once you meet the lord.
[06:39] Damian
    He is very much worth protecting.
[06:42] Damian
    Go to the soldiers' station.
[06:44] Damian
    The lord is there now, consoling Winona.
[06:48] Damian
    Go greet him.
[06:55] Orphen
    There's no doubt that Damian's lying.
[06:59] Orphen
    But I need to figure out
    why and what he's hiding.
[07:21] Orphen
    Winona, it's me, Orphen. I'm coming in.
[07:28] Winona
    Oh, hey. Thanks for coming.
[07:30] Winona
    I heard that you protected the lord.
[07:33] Orphen
    What are you talking about?
[07:35] Orphen
    I haven't done anything.
[07:37] Winona
    I'm truly grateful that you protected
    such an irreplaceable person.
[07:42] Winona
    If something were to ever
    happen to him, I...
[07:45] Orphen
    I get that you're devoted to the lord.
[07:49] Orphen
    With that in mind, there's
    something I want to figure out.
[07:52] Orphen
    The one that was lying dead in that
    room last night wasn't the lord?
[07:56] Winona
    What are you talking about?
[07:58] Orphen
    You saw that body and became enraged.
[08:00] Orphen
    You lost your mind and attacked
    the assassin in black.
[08:01] Winona
    My lord!
[08:05] Orphen
    Isn't that because the
    dead guy was the lord?
[08:09] Winona
    The lord is alive.
[08:12] Winona
    My eyes must've been playing tricks on me.
[08:14] Orphen
    Then who the hell was that?
[08:16] Orphen
    Are you saying that the lord has a body double?
[08:19] Winona
    No idea!
[08:21] Winona
    What I do know is that the lord
    is safe, visited this room,
[08:26] Winona
    and consoled me with his
    compassionate words.
[08:30] Orphen
    In that case...
[08:34] Winona
    The lord won't die.
[08:36] Winona
    Heaven won't allow that.
[08:46] Orphen
    He called that the Demolishing Fist...
[08:49] Orphen
    A method of punching that produces the
    utmost power with the smallest movement.
[08:54] Orphen
    A single blow is able to crack open a skull,
[08:57] Orphen
    make bodies crumble, and
    sever all four limbs.
[09:01] Orphen
    No living creature should
    be that destructive...
[09:05] Orphen
    He must have some kind of secret.
[09:07] Orphen
    Is it Sorcery?
[09:20] Orphen
    The Hailstorm...
[09:21] Orphen
    A weapon that incapacitates an enemy when
    Sorcery and other methods can't...
[09:26] Orphen
    Unless I'm at close range,
[09:28] Orphen
    the probability of me actually hitting
    the target is basically zero.
[09:31] Orphen
    The likelihood of me having a chance to
    shoot this thing while fighting him is...
[09:37] Orphen
    Would Tish be able to beat him?
[09:41] Orphen
    What would Azalie or Corgon do?
[09:44] Orphen
    What would Master do? What
    would Childman Powderfield do?
[09:55] Orphen
    Claiomh...
[09:57] Claiomh
    The lord says our meal is ready.
[10:01] Orphen
    All right.
[10:16] Lord
    I do not know what everyone believes.
[10:21] Lord
    We are having this meal because
    of what I believe in.
[10:24] Lord
    We are having this meal because
    of what all of you believe in.
[10:31] Lord
    Let us all give thanks and
    partake in our own way.
[10:36] Claiomh and Majic
    Thank you for this meal.
[10:41] Damian
    How unrefined.
[10:43] Orphen
    What you want from me isn't good manners.
    It's to defeat that assassin, right?
[10:48] Lord
    Jack Frisbee... A man
    believed to be an evil spirit.
[10:52] Orphen
    You know him?
[10:54] Lord
    Damian always looks into
    everything immediately.
[10:57] Lord
    I just need to receive that information.
[11:00] Lord
    He was truly a powerful assassin.
[11:03] Lord
    I'll never stop mourning
    all the lives that were lost.
[11:09] Orphen
    Claiomh, what happened to Leki?
[11:12] Orphen
    Majic, where were you yesterday?
[11:17] Orphen
    Of course you wouldn't be able to answer
    when you're being mentally manipulated.
[11:21] Orphen
    Well, that settles it. You're the enemy!
[11:24] Lottecia
    Orphen!
[11:25] Lord
    Mentally manipulating them?
    What are you talking about?
[11:29] Orphen
    Don't play dumb with me! You're...
[11:31] Lottecia
    Orphen! I met with those
    two and talked to them!
[11:35] Lottecia
    And... that wasn't the case.
[11:37] Orphen
    That's not the case?
[11:39] Orphen
    They're clearly not acting normal.
[11:41] Lottecia
    That's not what I meant.
[11:44] Claiomh
    I'll tell him.
[11:45] Claiomh
    Though... I'm not sure
    how I should say this.
[11:49] Orphen
    Damian! What are you trying
    to get Claiomh to say?
[11:52] Claiomh
    I'm not being controlled.
[11:57] Majic
    Master, please calm down.
[12:00] Orphen
    Majic? Claiomh?
[12:02] Claiomh
    The lord... He said he would right my wrongs.
[12:06] Claiomh
    He said he would undo my killing of Ryan.
[12:10] Orphen
    What? And how's he gonna do that, exactly?
[12:13] Orphen
    Is he gonna bring Ryan back to life?
[12:16] Lord
    I just told her that I would give her
    the opportunity to atone for her sins.
[12:21] Lord
    We can't possibly let the ones
    who made Ryan Killmarked a XX
[12:24] Lord
    and led him down the path
    of evil get away with this.
[12:30] Claiomh
    I swore... that I wouldn't
    rely on Leki anymore.
[12:33] Claiomh
    That I wouldn't make him suffer anymore.
[12:38] (Flashback) Ryan
    I don't care who you are.
[12:40] (Flashback) Ryan
    All this time and even now...
[12:43] (Flashback) Ryan
    I just wanted them to know my despair...
[12:48] (Flashback) Claiomh
    Ryan, I...
[12:50] (Flashback) Ryan
    Miracles don't occur in this godless world.
[12:54] (Flashback) Ryan
    But the fact that miracles don't
    occur is not what causes despair...
[12:59] (Flashback) Ryan
    It's the fact that you have to continue
    living despite knowing there are no miracles...
[13:04] (Flashback) Ryan
    That's...
[13:10] Claiomh
    But Leki left...
[13:12] Claiomh
    He must've realized that deep down,
[13:14] Claiomh
    I felt that he probably
    shouldn't be with me...
[13:19] Orphen
    Claiomh...
[13:20] Majic
    Master.
[13:22] Majic
    I don't have anything else
    to learn from you, do I?
[13:26] Majic
    From now on, I'll train under the lord.
[13:30] Orphen
    The hell are you talking about?!
[13:32] Lord
    He has talent.
[13:34] Lord
    With my guidance, he'll eventually be
    a master of Sorcery, just like Yuis.
[13:39] Orphen
    Don't give me that shit!
    Majic could never be Corgon!
[13:43] Lord
    Are you saying this boy doesn't
    have a bright future?
[13:46] Orphen
    No! Corgon had no choice
    but to become that strong!
[13:50] Orphen
    A world where you can only
    survive by killing others...
[13:52] Orphen
    There's no way that Majic
    could become so cold-hearted!
[13:57] Majic
    I don't think that everything
    you've taught me is a waste.
[14:02] Majic
    But I can't be like you, Master...
[14:06] Orphen
    Then what are you going to be?
    One of the lord's soldiers?
[14:09] Orphen
    You're just playing some
    twisted version of house!
[14:13] Orphen
    If the Dragons actually do something,
    you wouldn't be able to do anything!
[14:16] Orphen
    You'd just be hiding and
    egging on the enemy!
[14:20] Orphen
    Don't drag us into your
    stupid little war game.
[14:24] Lord
    What do you think I gave that Deep Dragon?
[14:28] Orphen
    What?
[14:29] Lord
    This may indeed be a little war game...
[14:32] Lord
    But I intend to win.
[14:35] Lord
    What is the sanctuary currently planning?
[14:38] Lord
    After 300 years of dubious peace,
[14:41] Lord
    what are they planning to do against
    the catastrophic calamity?
[14:46] Orphen
    Catastrophic calamity?
[14:49] Lord
    In order for the human race to
    survive, sacrifices are necessary.
[14:53] Lord
    I'm sure that you dislike the fact that I am
[14:56] Lord
    the one choosing who those should be, but...
[15:00] Lord
    Childman Powderfield had
[15:02] Lord
    trained all of you so that you
    could fight against the sanctuary.
[15:05] Lord
    Don't you think it's destiny
    for us to fight together?
[15:12] Lord
    By the way, I guess I haven't
    told you my name yet.
[15:15] Lord
    Almagest. That is my name.
[15:19] Lord
    And I believe in humans and their allies.
[15:23] Lord
    In order to ensure their survival,
    I would happily throw down my life.
[15:28] Orphen
    That's a real funny joke.
[15:35] Orphen
    What the hell?!
[15:39] Orphen
    Winona!
[15:41] Damian
    The soldiers' station...
[15:44] Damian
    That must mean the intruder
    targeted the surviving soldiers.
[15:47] Orphen
    The only survivor in there was Winona.
[15:51] Damian
    True. It might be impractical for them
    to go to such measures over just her.
[15:56] Damian
    Then this must be a diversion.
[15:59] Damian
    You go back to the lord's side.
[16:01] Orphen
    Shouldn't that be your job?
[16:04] Damian
    I'm more suited to go look for Winona.
[16:07] Orphen
    Well, you were pretty
    damn useless last night.
[16:10] Damian
    So were you.
[16:13] Orphen
    Did Jack do this?
[16:15] Damian
    That's impossible.
[16:16] Damian
    I'm concentrating everything I have
    to make sure the network is sealed.
[16:21] Damian
    They should still believe
    that the lord died.
[16:25] Orphen
    Then who is it?
[16:27] Damian
    We can figure that out later.
[16:29] Damian
    For now, leave searching for
    Winona to me and head back.
[16:38] Damian
    This was just a trivial miscalculation.
[16:40] Damian
    But this is still unfavorable.
[16:44] Damian
    The Chaos Witch... Or rather, witches.
[16:48] Damian
    You monsters...
[16:53] Orphen
    It's obvious that Damian was trying
    to get me away from there.
[16:58] Orphen
    That wasn't the work of a XX,
[17:01] Orphen
    nor could it be reinforcements
    from the Thirteen Apostles.
[17:06] Orphen
    So is there another enemy that Damian
    doesn't want me to know about?
[17:15] Orphen
    The attacker should still
    be around here somewhere.
[17:24] Orphen
    Winona! You're safe.
[17:28] Winona
    You're not the one behind
    that attack, are you?
[17:31] Orphen
    I went over there because
    I thought you were there.
[17:34] Winona
    I just got a really bad feeling.
[17:37] Winona
    I thought I heard a spell
    and the roof got blown off.
[17:40] Winona
    I followed their presence
    but ended up losing them.
[17:44] Orphen
    A spell? So the enemy is a Sorcerer?
[17:47] Winona
    Probably.
[17:49] Orphen
    Damian is hiding something.
[17:52] Orphen
    You don't trust him either, do you?
[17:55] Winona
    Even if I don't, causing a problem
    with Damian wouldn't be good.
[17:59] Winona
    Considering the current situation,
    the lord needs Damian.
[18:04] Orphen
    But this situation will eventually change.
[18:07] Orphen
    In that case, taking precautionary
    measures wouldn't be a bad idea.
[18:12] Winona
    What exactly are you getting at?
[18:15] Orphen
    I'm not so sure myself.
[18:17] Orphen
    But it might be something really important.
[18:20] Orphen
    It might also be trivial.
[18:22] Winona
    What do you want me to do?
[18:24] Orphen
    If Damian were to give
    you an order right now,
[18:27] Orphen
    what do you think it'd be?
[18:29] Winona
    Probably to find the intruder and kill them?
[18:33] Orphen
    I'm not telling you to defy that order,
[18:35] Orphen
    but I ask that you just take a deep
    breath before seeing it through.
[18:39] Orphen
    Think before you pounce on them.
[18:41] Orphen
    Think about who the intruder
    is, what their motive is.
[18:45] Winona
    And what am I supposed to gain from that?
[18:48] Orphen
    I told you I didn't know, didn't I?
[18:50] Orphen
    If the attacker just wants to assassinate
    the lord, then you can do what you want.
[18:56] Orphen
    However, if they have another motive,
    I want you to look into it.
[19:01] Winona
    You're like some demagogue.
[19:08] Orphen
    Looks like I might've gotten through to her.
[19:11] Orphen
    A demagogue, huh...
[19:13] Orphen
    It's true that I'm instigating her and
    not giving her anything in return.
[19:18] Orphen
    I'm just trying to use her
    for my own reasons...
[19:21] Orphen
    But I don't have any time to be
    choosy about how I go about this.
[19:24] Orphen
    First, I need to drag the enemy before me.
[19:28] Orphen
    Then I can fight them.
[19:30] Winona
    The lord needs Damian.
[19:32] Winona
    I know I said that, but...
[19:35] Winona
    Honestly...
[19:36] Winona
    everyone who has some ridiculous
    power are just causing the lord trouble.
[19:42] Winona
    They're not like the spineless
    Sorcerers who are born with powers
[19:46] Winona
    greater than we can even imagine.
[19:49] Winona
    I'm not gonna end up like that.
[19:51] Winona
    That's right. I don't want any easy reward.
[19:54] (Flashback) Instructor
    Go on! You can still do this!
[19:59] (Flashback) Instructor
    What are you doing? Keep your heads up!
[20:06] (Flashback) Instructor
    Come on! Stand up!
[20:07] (Flashback) Instructor
    This place is normal! Those who
    aren't here are just depraved!
[20:11] (Flashback) Winona and students
    This place is normal! Those who
    aren't here are just depraved!
[20:18] Winona
    In that hell, I was just some
    delinquent girl who had nothing but a dog,
[20:22] Winona
    and I was reborn into a knight.
[20:24] Winona
    I'm going to protect the
    lord with just my body.
[20:34] Winona
    If I'm up against a Sorcerer, they'll
    be able to conceal themselves.
[20:38] Winona
    If it's going to be difficult to find them,
[20:40] Winona
    then it'll just be faster to let
    my guard down and lure them out.
[20:45] Winona
    Come on. I'm by myself.
[20:48] Winona
    Not to mention, to you, I'm the
    easiest soldier for you to eliminate.
[20:53] Winona
    I look like some
    musclehead lackey, don't I?
[20:58] Winona
    I'm definitely not the most
    skilled assassin on the continent
[21:01] Winona
    nor some monster with some unknown power.
[21:04] Winona
    Come on, hurry up and sneak
    up quietly behind me.
[21:10] Winona
    Think before I leap?
[21:13] Winona
    Definitely nonsense from a Sorcerer
    with his head in the clouds.
[21:16] Winona
    Do you know what any moment of hesitation
    would do to us in the face of the enemy?
[21:29] Winona
    I won't let another assassin
    near the lord ever again!
[23:31] Damian
    The sanctuary has already betrayed itself.
[23:34] Corgon
    You're the only one that
    hasn't realized that.
[23:36] Damian
    There is no way to destroy me.
