SIGN    March 23, 380 in the time of the realm of humanity
[00:23] Kirito
    Isn't that the four-thirty bell?
[00:29] Eugeo
    You're right. Is it that late already?
[00:32] Kirito
    Ronie and Tiese are late.
[00:34] Kirito
    They've never been late to clean before,
    have they?
[00:41] Kirito
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[00:48] Kirito
    I'll go check the primary trainees' dorm.
[00:51] Kirito
    They might be on their way here,
    so you stay and wait for them.
[00:55] Eugeo
    Hey, Kirito, you should use the front—
[01:01] Eugeo
    Jeez, he's always in such a rush.
[01:18] Eugeo
    Thank goodness! We were worr—
[01:25] Frenica
    Um... are you Elite Disciple Eugeo?
[01:30] Eugeo
    Yes. And you are?
[01:31] Frenica
    I-I'm Primary Trainee Frenica Cesky.
[01:35] Frenica
    I-I apologize for coming to see you
    without an appointment.
[01:39] Frenica
    But I just don't know what to do!
[01:42] Eugeo
    You're... Frenica?
[01:45] Frenica
    Um, I know you've gone out of your way
    in regard to my issue with Lord Humbert Zizek.
[01:53] Frenica
    I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
[01:56] Frenica
    However, tonight,
    Lord Zizek has ordered me to... um...
[02:03] Frenica
    He's ordered me to perform a service
    that's difficult to explain.
[02:11] Frenica
    I-If he continues to give me these kinds of orders,
    I-I'd rather leave the academy!
[02:18] Frenica
    I confided in Tiese and Ronie about this.
[02:21] Frenica
    When they heard this, they said they'd go
    plead with him to spare me, and left the dorm.
[02:28] Frenica
    I've been waiting,
    but they still haven't returned.
[02:30] Eugeo
    What?
[02:32] Eugeo
    You wait here.
[02:36] Eugeo
    So that was their goal all along?
[02:39] Eugeo
    Not to target me, but Tiese and Ronie!
SIGN    Taboo Index
[04:20] Humbert
    Please come in.
[04:35] Humbert
    We just opened a 50-year-old bottle
    from the western empire, so why not join us?
[04:40] Humbert
    It's not something a commoner
    would ever get to taste.
[04:51] Eugeo
    No, that's fine.
[04:53] Eugeo
    Actually, Elite Disciple Zizek,
[04:55] Eugeo
    I wanted to ask if my page,
    Primary Trainee Tiese Schtrinen,
[05:00] Eugeo
    and Disciple Kirito's page, Primary Trainee
    Ronie Arabel, happened to visit your room?
[05:08] Raios
    So those two are yours and Sir Kirito's pages?
[05:12] Raios
    To suddenly visit the first-seat elite disciple,
    who stands at the pinnacle of the student body,
[05:16] Raios
    as well as the second-seat elite disciple,
    they're certainly brave for primary trainees!
[05:22] Raios
    No wonder they're your pages.
[05:28] Raios
    That said, they do need to be careful.
[05:31] Raios
    Assertiveness can sometimes be taken
    as rudeness or disrespect.
[05:34] Raios
    Wouldn't you agree, Disciple Eugeo?
[05:39] Eugeo
    I will hear your valued opinion another time.
[05:42] Eugeo
    Where are Tiese and Ronie right now?
[06:11] Eugeo
    What's this?
[06:17] Eugeo
    Wh...
[06:18] Eugeo
    What's the meaning of this, Lord Raios?
[06:20] Raios
    These measures were unavoidable, Sir Eugeo.
[06:24] Raios
    Since Primary Trainees Schtrinen and Arabel
    disrespected us to an outrageous degree.
[06:31] Eugeo
    Disrespected how?
[06:33] Humbert
    These two lesser noble girls had the gall
    to accuse me, a fourth-rank nobleman,
[06:39] Humbert
    of needlessly abusing my own page
    and satisfying my own lust, offending me greatly.
[06:45] Humbert
    After all I've done as the second-seat elite disciple
    to guide Frenica down the proper path!
[06:52] Raios
    And that's not all, Sir Eugeo.
[06:55] Raios
    They made the absurd claim that
    as Humbert's roommate, I was just as accountable.
[07:02] Raios
    I mean, the daughter of a mere sixth-rank noble
    asking me, the eldest son of a third-rank noble,
[07:07] Raios
    "Have you no pride as a noble?"
[07:10] Raios
    To have said such a thing...
[07:16] Eugeo
    Still, Lord Raios, even if everything happened
    the way you described,
[07:19] Eugeo
    binding them with ropes
    and locking them in your bedroom
[07:22] Eugeo
    is surely a flagrant deviation
    from the disciple punishment authority!
[07:26] Raios
    Disciple punishment authority?
[07:29] Raios
    Have you forgotten what the academy rules say?
[07:33] Raios
    That "regarding all punishment,
    higher law take precedence!"
[07:42] Raios
    Higher law, as in the Taboo Index,
    not to mention the Basic Imperial Law.
[07:47] Raios
    In other words, as a third-rank noble's eldest son,
    what I can exercise on those sixth-rank noble girls
[07:52] Raios
    isn't the disciple punishment authority,
    but the nobles' judicial authority...
[07:58] Raios
    ...as is my right!
[08:04] Raios
    Hold still. I'm going to discipline you now.
[08:17] Eugeo
    Stop it!
[08:19] Raios
    Don't move, commoner!
[08:21] Raios
    This is a lawful judgment by a noble according
    to the Basic Imperial Law and the Taboo Index.
[08:28] Raios
    And to obstruct such a judgment
    is a serious criminal act.
[08:32] Raios
    If you take even one step closer,
    you'll become a criminal who has broken the law.
[08:38] Eugeo
    That's...
[08:41] Eugeo
    My legs!
[08:46] Ronie
    No! No!
[09:03] Tiese
    Senpai! Senpai!
[09:11] ---
    After all, there are things you shouldn't do,
    even if it's not forbidden by law.
[09:16] ---
    On the other hand,
[09:18] ---
    there might be things you should do,
    even if they're forbidden by law.
[09:30] Ronie
    N-No! No!
[09:33] Tiese
    No! Help me! Help me, Eugeo-senpai!
[09:38] Tiese
    Eugeo-senpai!
[09:41] Eugeo
    Tiese and Ronie worked up the courage
    to help their friend,
[09:46] Eugeo
    only to be punished by such a cruel law.
[09:50] Eugeo
    A law that can't deter Raios and Humbert,
    who ensnared them and are now about to defile them.
[09:56] Eugeo
    If upholding such a law is the "right" thing to do...
[10:01] Eugeo
    I...
[10:03] Eugeo
    I...
[10:19] Eugeo
    What's... this?
[10:21] Eugeo
    No, this is the same as that time.
[10:28] Eugeo
    Unforgivable. It's absolutely...
[10:34] Eugeo
    ...unforgivable!
[10:37] Tiese
    No! No! Senpai!
[11:12] Humbert
    A-Arm... My arm is... bleeding!
[11:16] Humbert
    So much blood! My life is decreasing!
[11:20] Humbert
    Lord Raios, a sacred arts spell...
[11:23] Humbert
    No, a normal spell won't heal this in time!
[11:26] Humbert
    Your life! Please share some of your life!
[11:38] Raios
    Magnificent! I've never seen
    anyone commit such a crime before.
[11:48] Raios
    Though the nobles' judicial authority generally
    only applies to lesser nobles and tenant commoners,
[11:56] Raios
    exceptions can be made
    for heinous criminals who've broken a Taboo!
[12:06] Raios
    I've never cut off someone's head
    with my sword before.
[12:09] Raios
    This will make me even more powerful!
[12:13] Raios
    Disciple Eugeo...
[12:15] Raios
    No, heinous criminal Eugeo!
[12:18] Raios
    I, Raios Antinous, a third-rank nobleman's heir,
    in accordance with the nobles' judicial authority,
[12:24] Raios
    shall now execute you!
[12:41] Eugeo
    Kirito.
[12:42] Kirito
    Put away your sword, Raios!
[12:44] Kirito
    I won't let you hurt Eugeo!
[12:49] Raios
    So you finally showed up, Disciple Kirito?
[12:52] Raios
    However, you're a bit too late.
[12:55] Raios
    That country bumpkin there is a heinous criminal
    who violated the Taboo Index!
[12:59] Raios
    No, you stand back and watch.
[13:01] Raios
    Just like those flowers that day,
    witness this criminal's head being cut off!
[13:07] Kirito
    I don't care about your taboos and noble rights!
[13:10] Kirito
    Eugeo's my friend.
[13:12] Kirito
    And you...
[13:14] Kirito
    are scum lower than the goblins
    from the land of darkness!
[13:24] Raios
    To think that two country bumpkins
    would commit such grave crimes.
[13:29] Raios
    This means I can get rid of you both
    at the same time.
[13:33] Raios
    What a wonderful day!
    Surely this is the guidance of Stacia!
[13:51] Kirito
    It's fine.
[14:09] Raios
    My secret skill will demolish that piece of junk!
[14:13] Kirito
    Come on then, Raios!
[14:35] Raios
    How's that? How's that?
[14:38] Raios
    As if I, Raios Antinous, would fail to keep up
    with a mere commoner like you!
[14:51] Eugeo
    Kirito.
[15:16] Raios
    Arms! My arms are...
    bleeding... They're bleeding!
[15:26] Raios
    Humbert!
[15:28] Raios
    Bleeding... Stop my bleeding!
[15:31] Raios
    Untie your rope, and bind my arms instead!
[15:35] Humbert
    No!
[15:36] Humbert
    U-Untying it will reduce my life!
[15:40] Humbert
    That order is a violation of the Taboo Index!
[15:42] Raios
    Taboo? But...
[15:45] Raios
    My blood is... Humbert!
[15:48] Raios
    You... Taboo...
[15:50] Raios
    But... My life will...
[15:55] Raios
    Taboo... Life... Blood! Taboo!
[16:02] Raios
    Life... Blood... Taboo...
    Life... Taboo... Life... Taboo...
[16:13] Raios
    Life...
[16:14] Kirito
    Use this to stop the bleeding.
[16:17] Raios
    Life... Taboo... Life... Taboo...
[16:47] Kirito
    What was that?
[16:48] Kirito
    Did something happen to the Fluctlight?
[16:55] Humbert
    Lord Raios is...
[16:56] Humbert
    He's... He's... You... You...
[17:00] Humbert
    Murderer! Monster!
[17:13] Tiese
    I'm sorry.
[17:17] Tiese
    I'm sorry, Eugeo-senpai!
[17:19] Tiese
    It's... It's all my fault!
[17:23] Eugeo
    No, it's not. You're not to blame.
[17:26] Eugeo
    I... It's because I didn't think it through.
[17:30] Eugeo
    You're not responsible.
[17:32] Tiese
    B-But...
[17:34] Tiese
    But...
[17:36] Eugeo
    It's all right. After all, you and Ronie are safe.
[17:39] Eugeo
    I'm the one who should apologize.
[17:42] Eugeo
    Sorry. For subjecting you to such a horror.
[18:12] Eugeo
    I've seen this before.
[18:14] Eugeo
    Somewhere, long ago, I saw this before.
[18:20] Kirito
    Don't let Tiese and Ronie hear this!

[18:51] Eugeo
    Now I'm just like those goblins.
[19:01] Kirito
    You're a human, Eugeo. Just like me.
[19:05] Kirito
    Every time you make a mistake,
    you continue to struggle to find its meaning.
[19:09] Kirito
    You're a human.
[19:11] Eugeo
    Kirito.
[19:52] Azurica
    Come out.
[20:00] Azurica
    Come closer.

[20:12] Azurica
    Reconstruct Lost Organ.
[20:18] Azurica
    Try to open your eye.
[20:20] Eugeo
    Yes.
[20:28] Eugeo
    Thank you very much, Ms. Azurica!
[20:30] Azurica
    No, actually, Disciple Eugeo and Disciple Kirito,
    I need to hand you over to your escort.
[20:39] Azurica
    Before that, I'll say only this.
[20:44] Azurica
    Disciple Eugeo.
[20:46] Azurica
    You've broken a seal I was never able to break.
[20:49] Azurica
    Therefore, you should be able to go
    where I was never able to go.
[20:54] Azurica
    Believe in that sword, and in your friend.
[20:58] Azurica
    Disciple Kirito.
[21:00] Azurica
    I was never able to get to know
    who you really are.
[21:05] Azurica
    Nevertheless, when you reach that tower,
    something will definitely happen.
[21:10] Azurica
    I'll be here, praying that you'll find the light.
[21:15] Azurica
    Forever.
[21:42] Eugeo
    I've seen this combination
    of blue and gold before somewhere.
