[00:03] (Flashback) Mother
    Come on, Setsu. Say hi to Yuhi-chan.
[00:09] (Flashback) Young Setsu
    Hey.
[00:10] (Flashback) Young Yuhi
    Um, uh...
[00:13] (Flashback) Young Yuhi
    Want to play with me?
[00:15] (Flashback) Young Setsu
    No, thanks.
[00:17] (Flashback) Young Setsu
    It's too hot.
[00:19] (Flashback) Young Yuhi
    What?!
[00:22] Yuhi
    At first, he seemed like
    a scary, unfriendly boy.
[00:29] Yuhi
    But because we lived so close,
[00:31] Yuhi
    we spent a lot of time together.
[00:34] Yuhi
    He helped me with school,
    played with me, and over time...
[00:40] Yuhi
    As I learned how kind he was, I...
[00:47] (Flashback) Setsu
    What's wrong?
[00:53] (Flashback) Yuhi
    Would I have to go to a place like this if
    I wanted to go to the same high school as you?

    What do you think... about what I said?
[01:26] (Flashback) Setsu
    Maybe you should aim for an easier school.
[01:31] (Flashback) Setsu
    We don't have to go to the same
    school if it's too much trouble.
[01:34] (Flashback) Setsu
    You'd just make things harder
    for yourself in the long run.

    Hey, why the gloomy face?
[02:31] (Flashback) Man B
    Were your mock exam results bad?
[02:36] (Flashback) Man C
    Poor thing. She looks crushed.

    If it's beyond your abilities,
    just give up. You'll have more fun.

    I...
[02:46] (Flashback) Man B
    Deep down, you get it, don't you?
[02:49] (Flashback) Man B
    Just stop studying and hang out with us.
[02:53] (Flashback) Men
    Come on, let's do it.
[02:54] (Flashback) Men
    Let's play. We know more fun stuff.
[02:57] (Flashback) Men
    Let's let all the stress out, right?
[02:57] (Flashback) Setsu
    Uh, sorry, guys.
[03:00] (Flashback) Setsu
    We're busy studying,
     so please find someone else to pick on.
[03:05] (Flashback) Man B
    Huh?
[03:06] (Flashback) Yuhi
    Yuki-kun...
[03:08] (Flashback) Man C
    "Yuki-kun"?
[03:10] (Flashback) Man A
    What, she has a guy?
[03:12] (Flashback) Man B
    Sorry to bother you.
[03:14] (Flashback) Men
    Damn, what a buzzkill.
[03:16] (Flashback) Men
    Let's go grab something to eat.
[03:17] (Flashback) Men
    Yeah.
[03:22] (Flashback) Yuhi
    Why are you here?
[03:23] (Flashback) Setsu
    So? What are you going to do?
[03:26] (Flashback) Yuhi
    Huh? What do you mean?
[03:29] (Flashback) Setsu
    What they said wasn't entirely wrong.
[03:33] (Flashback) Setsu
    Reaching beyond your
    limits won't help anyone.
[03:58] (Flashback) Yuhi
    I...
[04:00] (Flashback) Yuhi
    Even if people tell me I'm not good enough,
[04:03] (Flashback) Yuhi
    I still want to go to the same school as you.
[04:21] (Flashback) Setsu
    Then there's no other way, I guess.
[04:24] (Flashback) Setsu
    If that's what you're determined to do,
[04:26] (Flashback) Setsu
    I'll have to buckle down and pitch in.
[04:29] (Flashback) Yuhi
    Huh?
[04:30] (Flashback) Setsu
    I'm saying I'll help you study.
[04:33] (Flashback) Setsu
    But I won't go easy on you, no matter
    how much you cry and complain.
[04:42] (Flashback) Yuhi
    Yes, please! Thank you!
[04:47] Yuhi
    I wanted to be with Yuki-kun,
    who I love so much, forever...

[06:36] Elka
    Open fire!
[06:43] Female Student 8 & 9
    We did it!
[06:45] Female Student 8
    It worked!
[06:46] Female Student 9
    I know, right?! It's awesome!
[06:59] Elka
    Finish!
[07:05] Elka
    Yuhi-san, that was impressive.
[07:07] Elka
    The others have improved a lot, as well.
[07:10] Elka
    We'll call it a day for now.
[07:12] Elka
    Good work, everyone.
[07:14] Students
    Thank you!
[07:17] Students
    Good work, guys.
[07:19] Students
    I'm so hungry.
[07:25] Yuhi
    Um, do you have a moment?
[07:29] Yuhi
    You're Yuki-kun's friends from
    the last time he was here...
[07:35] Yuhi
    Or rather, his companions, right?
[07:39] Glein
    That's right. We still see him
    as a friend and a companion.
[07:44] Elka
    Setsu-sama tends to draw
    others in unconsciously,
[07:48] Elka
    so who knows if he feels
    the same way about us?
[07:55] Elka
    I still have the utmost respect for him,
[07:58] Elka
    and wish I could stand by him forever
    and gaze at the same scenery with him.
[08:10] Elka
    Anyway, what is your question?
[08:14] Yuhi
    C-Can you give me special training?!
[08:17] Yuhi
    I want to be with Yuki-kun, too!
[08:32] Elka
    This is the peaceful world
    that Setsu-sama created.
[08:37] Elka
    And, as we speak, Setsu-sama is surely
    fighting somewhere beyond this sky we see
[08:42] Elka
    to maintain peace in this world.
[08:49] Elka
    As Setsu-sama's companions,
[08:53] Elka
    we're staying prepared so we
    can act at a moment's notice.
[09:02] Yuhi
    I have both the desire to be with Yuki-kun
    and the determination to do what it takes.
[09:07] Yuhi
    But I lack the strength, so...
[09:13] Yuhi
    Elka-san,
[09:16] Yuhi
    please!
[09:19] Elka
    Once you've spoken those words to me...
[09:25] Elka
    I'll never let you say you were just joking!
[09:33] Elka
    Here I come!
[09:41] Elka
    It's not over!
[09:57] Elka
    You've grown much stronger than you realize.
[10:02] Elka
    All of the kids that came from
    the other world are exceptional,
[10:06] Elka
    but you're quite special, even among them.
[10:11] Elka
    But still, if you wish to
    stand by Setsu-sama's side,
[10:15] Elka
    there is something you definitely lack.
[10:26] Yuhi
    What's the thing that I lack?
[10:31] Elka
    This is a sewer infested with monsters.
[10:34] Elka
    We sometimes use this as a final
    training ground for soldiers.
[10:38] Yuhi
    M-Monsters? Final training?
[10:43] Elka
    Here it comes.
[10:45] Yuhi
    Huh?
[11:07] Elka
    This is no time to be startled!
[11:15] Elka
    Now fight!
[11:24] Elka
    Don't flinch! Fight!
[11:26] Elka
    You have more than enough strength!
[11:30] Yuhi
    Elka-san!
[11:38] Yuhi
    I did it! I fought!
[11:41] Elka
    Don't let your guard down!
[11:58] Elka
    Now!
[11:58] Yuhi
    Take this!
[12:13] Yuhi
    H-Haven't you had enough?
[12:15] Yuhi
    You're hurt. If you move now...
[12:17] Elka
    Finish it.
[12:20] Elka
    You have indeed become stronger.
[12:22] Elka
    In terms of magic ability alone,
    you're almost equal to me.
[12:26] Elka
    But...
[12:27] Elka
    This is war.
[12:30] Elka
    Kill the enemy, or they
    will kill your friends.
[12:32] Elka
    The other side thinks the same way.
[12:35] Elka
    If you want to protect those dear to you,
     you must fight and end lives.
[12:39] Elka
    That determination is what you lack.
[12:44] Yuhi
    The determination... to take lives...
[13:10] Yuhi
    Elka-san...
[13:23] Yuhi
    This is what I lack...
[13:47] Yuhi
    Yes, come in!
[13:50] Thea
    Hey there. Mind if I come in?
[14:01] Thea
    There, that's better.
[14:04] Yuhi
    Thank you. I appreciate it.
[14:07] Thea
    Elka was crazy to throw you into
    a real battle so suddenly.
[14:12] Yuhi
    No, I asked for it.
[14:20] Thea
    I see you as one of us, too.
[14:24] Yuhi
    Huh?
[14:25] Thea
    We don't know what Setsu was
    like in the other world,
[14:29] Thea
    but he looks at you the same way he looks at us.
[14:38] Thea
    That's also why I understand
    where Elka's coming from.
[14:42] Thea
    We can't teach determination.
[14:45] Thea
    Elka is hard on you because she
    wants to treat you as a true equal.
[14:52] Yuhi
    Thea-san...
[14:53] Thea
    Why do you want to be with Setsu so badly?
[14:58] Thea
    You know being near him will
    put you in lots of danger.
[15:03] Yuhi
    Because Yuki-kun has helped
    me out my whole life.
[15:15] Yuhi
    So, this time, I want to be the one to help him.
[15:20] Thea
    I see.
[15:24] Thea
    Well, all we can do is meddle,
     but I do wish you good luck.
[15:29] Yuhi
    Thanks!
[15:35] Thea
    It'll be all right. Yuhi is strong.
[15:39] Elka
    That much is obvious.
[15:42] Elka
    Defending herself on the battlefield
    should be easy for her at this point.
[15:49] Elka
    But if she fights alongside us,
[15:53] Elka
    who knows what kind of dangerous
    foes she'll eventually face?
[15:57] Thea
    And you don't think Setsu wants us to
    force that kind of determination on Yuhi?
[16:05] Thea
    But that's not for us to decide,
    and not for Setsu to decide, either.
[16:09] Thea
    It's all up to Yuhi herself.
[16:11] Thea
    All we can do is respect the determination
    that Yuhi finds for herself.
[16:19] Thea
    I'll sleep a bit more.
[16:21] Thea
    Goodnight.
[16:26] Elka
    I...
[16:29] Glein
    Excuse me.
[16:44] Glein
    Is this about last night?
[16:46] Yuhi
    Glein-san...
[16:50] Glein
    Being hesitant about taking lives is natural.
[16:54] Glein
    Even if it's for the sake
    of someone precious to you.
[16:59] Yuhi
    Glein-san, how did you gather
    the determination to fight?
[17:05] Glein
    I just chose to make others suffer,
[17:09] Glein
    rather than watch the
    people around me suffer.
[17:12] Glein
    Like any other soldier.
[17:18] Glein
    But that's just what works for me.
[17:24] Glein
    You have your own determination.
[17:26] Glein
    You have to find the answer by yourself.
[17:31] Yuhi
    My...
[17:34] Yuhi
    determination...
[17:36] Glein
    Setsu-san probably wants you to come up
    with the answer that best suits you.
[17:46] Yuhi
    I want to stay true to myself,
    yet I want to fight...
[18:33] Elka
    Since you've returned,
[18:35] Elka
    does that mean you've
    found your determination?
[18:39] Yuhi
    Yes. I've made my decision.
[19:06] Elka
    Forcing yourself out of your
    comfort zone in battle might break you.
[19:10] Yuhi
    Elka-san, please witness my determination.
[19:52] Elka
    Impressive.
[19:54] Elka
    Outstanding power and accuracy alike.
[19:57] Elka
    Yuhi-san, I'll admit, your determination is—
[20:00] Yuhi
    No.
[20:04] Yuhi
    It's not dead.
[20:07] Yuhi
    I just temporarily incapacitated it.
[20:12] Yuhi
    This is my determination:
    to never take a life.
[20:17] Yuhi
    I will never lose, and I will
    never take anyone's life!
[20:22] Elka
    Yuhi-san...
[20:26] Elka
    Well, you got me. That answer
    is just like Setsu-sama's.
[20:31] Elka
    I'm impressed by your determination,
[20:34] Elka
    but that would require an astounding
    amount of power to pull off.
[20:36] Yuhi
    Yes! I'll become much, much stronger!
[20:43] Yuhi
    So that I can protect Elka-san, Yuki-kun,
[20:48] Yuhi
    and everyone else.
[20:55] Glein
    The king has issued his decree.
[20:58] Glein
    We, the Knights of Distinia, in order
    to protect our nation and its citizens,
[21:02] Glein
    will leave tomorrow at dawn for
    the demonic nation of Eviltheon.
[21:08] Glein
    Everyone, prepare yourselves,
    both physically and mentally!
[21:12] Glein
    Dismissed!
[21:13] Male Student A
    So the time is finally here...
[21:13] Female Student 1
    I have to fight. I don't wanna die...
[21:15] Female Student 2
    Can I really shoot a person?
[21:15] Male Student B
    Can we really fight,
    after such brief training?
[21:32] Yuhi
    Wait for me, Yuki-kun.
