***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!
**[18:23] Elder**
*Singular unit detected.*
**[18:26] Elder**
*Tracing ID.*
**[18:28] Elder**
*Coordinates fixed.*
**[18:30] Elder**
*Report complete.*
**[18:47] Humbert**
*Murderer! Monster!*
**[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.
**[20:08] Azurica**
System Call. Generate Luminous Element.
**[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.*
**[21:49] Alice**
I am the overseer of the capital city of Centoria,
an Integrity Knight of the Axiom Church...
**[22:04] Alice**
Alice Synthesis Thirty.
**[23:38] Kirito**
Next time: Central Cathedral.
