**[00:18] Fizel**
Um...
**[00:21] Fizel**
I'm... no...
**[00:23] Fizel**
I'm Fizel, an Axiom Church sister-in-training.
**[00:28] Fizel**
And this is my fellow sister-in-training.
**[00:31] Linel**
I-I'm Linel.
**[00:33] Fizel**
Um, are you two the intruders
from the Dark Territory we heard about?
**[00:42] Kirito**
I'm not good with kids.
**[00:44] Kirito**
I'll leave this to you.
**[00:49] Eugeo**
U-Um, well...
**[00:52] Eugeo**
We're actually from the Human Empire,
**[00:55] Eugeo**
but as for being intruders, well...
you're not wrong.
**[01:03] Fizel**
Geez! They look like ordinary humans, Nel!
**[01:08] Fizel**
There's not any horns or tails.
**[01:10] Linel**
All I said was
that was how the books described them!
**[01:14] Linel**
You're the one who jumped to conclusions, Zel!
**[01:17] Eugeo**
Um...
**[01:19] Eugeo**
Won't you get into trouble
if you're found talking to us?
**[01:28] Fizel**
This morning, all the monks, nuns
and apprentices
**[01:32] Fizel**
were ordered to lock themselves
in their rooms.
**[01:37] Fizel**
So there's no risk of getting caught
even if we go take a look at the intruders!
**[01:48] Fizel**
They're human?
**[01:49] Linel**
Yes, they're human.
**[01:52] Linel**
You were thrown into prison,
but you broke your spiritual chains and fled,
**[01:57] Linel**
not only that,
they say you defeated two Integrity Knights,
**[02:01] Linel**
so we were sure
you were monsters of darkness,
**[02:03] Linel**
or else actual dark knights had invaded,
and that's why we were waiting.
**[02:12] Linel**
One last thing...
may we ask what your names are?
**[02:20] Eugeo**
I'm Eugeo.
**[02:22] Eugeo**
This is Kirito behind me.
**[02:25] Linel**
Don't you have family names?
**[02:27] Eugeo**
No, since we're the children of settlers.
**[02:31] Eugeo**
Is that true for you as well?
**[02:33] Linel**
No.
**[02:34] Linel**
We do have them.
**[02:44] Linel**
My name is Linel Synthesis Twenty-eight.
***SIGN*** The Relentless Knight
**[04:31] Kirito**
Euge—
**[04:37] Fizel**
And I'm Fizel Synthesis Twenty-nine.
**[04:42] Eugeo**
You're...
**[04:45] Eugeo**
Integrity...
**[04:54] Linel**
No need to be so scared, Mr. Eugeo!
**[05:05] Linel**
It's only a paralysis poison.
**[05:08] Linel**
Of course, the only difference is
whether you'll die here or on the fiftieth floor.
**[05:13] Linel**
You must be wondering, aren't you?
**[05:16] Linel**
How two children like us
became Integrity Knights, right?
**[05:24] Linel**
We were born and raised inside the cathedral.
**[05:28] Linel**
Administrator ordered the monks
and nuns here to create us.
**[05:35] Linel**
To use us in an experiment to restore completely lost life
with a resurrection sacred art.
**[05:43] Linel**
We received our Callings at the age of five.
**[05:47] Linel**
Our job was to kill each other.
**[05:51] Linel**
We were given toylike swords,
**[05:54] Linel**
and then we'd pair off,
taking turns stabbing each other.
**[06:29] Fizel**
Administrator's resurrection sacred art
was such a disaster at first, wasn't it?
**[06:36] Fizel**
There were kids who exploded into bits,
**[06:40] Fizel**
and others who ended up
as weird chunks of flesh.
**[06:43] Fizel**
And some who, even though they came back to life,
were different people!
**[06:47] Linel**
We wanted to avoid any unnecessary pain,
and not being able to come back to life,
**[06:52] Linel**
so we researched together
**[06:54] Linel**
and found that if we could kill cleanly with one strike,
the pain would be minimal,
**[06:58] Linel**
and the odds of being resurrected would be higher.
**[07:02] Linel**
But...
**[07:04] Linel**
the question was how to deal that strike.
**[07:08] Linel**
If we could cut off the head or strike the heart
as quickly and smoothly as possible...
**[07:17] Linel**
But in the end, it seemed that
it was too difficult to master complete resurrection,
**[07:22] Linel**
and around the time we turned eight,
the resurrection experiment was abandoned.
**[07:28] Linel**
We'd started out with 30 comrades,
but by then, only Zel and I were left.
**[07:37] Linel**
Since we'd survived, Administrator made us
Integrity Knights as a special exception.
**[07:44] Linel**
But she said we hadn't learned enough
to go on guard duty like the other knights,
**[07:50] Linel**
so we've been studying the laws and sacred arts
for two years now, but...
**[07:55] Linel**
Honestly, we're so sick of it.
**[07:59] Fizel**
We'd been discussing how to quickly earn
our dragons and Divine Objects,
**[08:04] Fizel**
when we heard the warning that the cathedral
had been infiltrated by minions of the Dark Territory.
**[08:10] Fizel**
We thought that if we could capture
and execute them before the other knights,
**[08:14] Fizel**
Administrator would make us proper knights,
so that's why we were waiting on the stairs.
**[08:24] Linel**
We're sorry for using poison.
**[08:27] Linel**
It's just that we wanted
to bring you to the fiftieth floor alive, if possible.
**[08:33] Linel**
Oh, please don't worry.
**[08:35] Linel**
Fizel and I are really good at killing!
**[08:39] Linel**
It won't hurt!
***SIGN*** Central Cathedral, Fiftieth Floor Great Hall of Ghostly Light
**[08:57] Linel**
Standing over there are the members
of the Four Whirling Blades,
**[09:01] Linel**
as well as Vice Commander Fanatio Synthesis Two.
**[09:05] Fizel**
If Sir Fanatio of the Heaven-Piercing Blade
bothered to show up,
**[09:09] Fizel**
the senate must be panicking more
than we thought.
**[09:13] Fanatio**
What are you two young apprentices doing
on this honorable knights' battlefield?
**[09:18] Fizel**
How ridiculous!
**[09:20] Fizel**
It's because you bring honor
and tradition into battle
**[09:23] Fizel**
that you mighty Integrity Knights lost
not once, but twice!
**[09:28] Fizel**
But there's no need to worry.
**[09:31] Fizel**
To keep the knights
from disgracing themselves any further,
**[09:35] Fizel**
we've captured the intruders for you!
**[09:38] Linel**
We're going to decapitate these intruders now,
**[09:43] Linel**
so watch closely
and be sure to report it to the pontifex!
**[09:48] Linel**
Surely honorable Integrity Knights such as yourselves
would never stoop to stealing the credit.
**[10:03] Linel**
How?
**[10:04] Fizel**
I can't mo—
**[10:27] Kirito**
The paralysis will wear off in a few minutes.
**[10:30] Kirito**
Once you can move your lips again,
**[10:32] Kirito**
start reciting the Perfect Weapon Control art
without drawing the knights' attention.
**[10:37] Kirito**
When you're ready,
hold it and wait for my signal.
**[10:47] Kirito**
You must be wondering
how I could move, aren't you?
**[10:53] Kirito**
You two gave it away.
**[10:55] Kirito**
All of the monks and nuns had been ordered
not to leave their rooms.
**[11:01] Kirito**
But no one in the cathedral
could possibly violate that order.
**[11:06] Kirito**
So if you weren't obeying the order,
you couldn't be actual apprentices.
**[11:14] Kirito**
Not only that, those scabbards on your hips...
they're made of ruby oak, right?
**[11:19] Kirito**
The only material that won't rot
**[11:22] Kirito**
even if it makes contact
with swords made of toxic Ruberyl steel.
**[11:25] Kirito**
There's no way you'd have something like that
if you were a sister-in-training.
**[11:30] Kirito**
That's why I started reciting a poison-dissolving art
before you got near us.
**[11:36] Kirito**
Although it took some time to dissolve.
**[11:39] Kirito**
Strength isn't just about sword speed.
**[11:55] Kirito**
I won't kill you.
**[11:58] Kirito**
Instead, watch closely.
**[12:00] Kirito**
At how strong the Integrity Knights
you're mocking actually are!
**[12:15] Kirito**
Sorry to have kept you waiting, Sir Fanatio.
**[12:23] Kirito**
Kirito the Swordsman... is coming!
**[12:45] Blade D**
You insolent criminal,
thinking you can battle Sir Fanatio one-on-one...
**[12:50] Blade D**
We, the Four Whirling Blades,
are your opponents!
**[12:53] Fanatio**
You four, stay back.
**[12:55] Fanatio**
I'll be his opponent.
**[12:58] Blade ????**
Yes.
**[13:05] Fanatio**
System Call.
**[13:08] Fanatio**
Enhance Armament!
**[13:51] Eugeo**
Ki—
**[13:53] Eugeo**
*My voice.*
**[13:55] Eugeo**
*Now I can...*
**[13:57] Eugeo**
System Call.
**[14:08] Fanatio**
You may be a criminal, but if you've lived in the capital,
you must know what a mirror is.
**[14:16] Fanatio**
That instrument is capable of reflecting Solus's light
more or less completely.
**[14:22] Fanatio**
Long ago, the eminent pontifex
used one thousand huge mirrors
**[14:26] Fanatio**
to focus Solus' midsummer light on a single spot,
producing pure white flames.
**[14:32] Fanatio**
Within minutes,
those flames melted away a man-sized boulder.
**[14:38] Fanatio**
The pontifex then bound the thousand mirrors
with a divine skill, forged them...
**[14:46] Fanatio**
and created a single sword.
**[14:56] Fanatio**
This Divine Object, the Heaven-Piercing Blade.
**[14:59] Fanatio**
Do you understand, criminal?
**[15:01] Fanatio**
What pierced your stomach and foot
was the power of the sun god, Solus.
**[15:07] Kirito**
*A sword... that can reflect light?*
**[15:12] Fanatio**
And now, farewell, you young, foolish criminal.
**[15:18] Kirito**
Discharge!
**[15:40] Fanatio**
You saw, didn't you?
**[15:44] Fanatio**
You're looking at me that way, too...
**[15:48] Fanatio**
just like that man!
**[15:51] Fanatio**
Even traitors like you,
targeting the Church,
**[15:55] Fanatio**
the instant you discover I'm a woman,
you can't fight me seriously?
**[16:03] Fanatio**
I am an Integrity Knight!
**[16:12] Kirito**
I see. So that sword and that skill.
**[16:16] Kirito**
They allow you to exchange blows
without revealing that you're a woman.
**[16:20] Kirito**
Isn't that right, Lady Fanatio?
**[16:23] Fanatio**
H-How dare you!
**[16:26] Kirito**
Just so you know,
**[16:28] Kirito**
the reason I was shocked just now
**[16:30] Kirito**
was because your spirit became so weak
the moment your helmet broke.
**[16:35] Kirito**
Hiding your face and your sword style...
**[16:38] Kirito**
...aren't you the one
who's most conscious of being of woman?
**[16:44] Fanatio**
Shut up! I'll kill you no matter what!
**[16:48] Kirito**
I intend to do the same.
**[16:50] Kirito**
I don't intend to hold back
because you're a woman.
**[16:54] Kirito**
I've lost plenty of battles to swordswomen!
**[17:23] Eugeo**
Incredible.
**[17:41] Fanatio**
I understand.
**[17:44] Fanatio**
Criminal.
**[17:46] Fanatio**
I can see that you're unlike
the ones I've fought before.
**[17:51] Fanatio**
No man has tried to seriously slash me
after seeing this detestable face.
**[17:58] Kirito**
Detestable, huh?
**[18:00] Kirito**
Then for whose sake do you comb your hair
**[18:05] Kirito**
and apply color to your lips?
**[18:16] Kirito**
I'm fighting to take down the church
and the pontifex
**[18:19] Kirito**
so that humans like you can express love normally
and lead normal lives!
**[18:27] Fanatio**
I see that you're not a minion of darkness
as the prime senator said.
**[18:31] Fanatio**
But that doesn't mean
you're not extremely dangerous.
**[18:35] Fanatio**
You could still disrupt the Church and us knights
not just with your sword, but with your words as well.
**[18:42] Fanatio**
Our most crucial mission as Integrity Knights
**[18:44] Fanatio**
is to protect the Human Empire
and those who reside there.
**[18:48] Fanatio**
That's why I must defeat you.
**[18:53] Fanatio**
Even if it means trampling on my pride as a knight.
**[18:56] Fanatio**
Light concealed within the Heaven-Piercing Blade,
cast off your shackles!
**[19:01] Fanatio**
Release Recollection!
**[19:27] Kirito**
You...
**[19:31] Kirito**
...stupid idiot!
**[19:36] Eugeo**
*Now!*
**[19:38] Eugeo**
*Now's my only chance!*
**[19:40] Eugeo**
Enhance Armament!
**[19:49] Fanatio**
Th-This is...
**[19:51] Eugeo**
Bloom! Blue Roses!
**[19:56] Fanatio**
Curse you.
**[20:09] Eugeo**
Kirito!
**[20:10] Eugeo**
Hang on. I'll cast a healing art right—
**[20:12] Kirito**
Don't!
**[20:14] Kirito**
Keep the skill going!
**[20:17] Kirito**
This...
**[20:19] Kirito**
...isn't enough to bring her down.
**[20:28] Eugeo**
System Call!
**[20:39] Eugeo**
You...
**[20:41] Eugeo**
None of you...
**[20:43] Eugeo**
...know what justice is!
**[20:55] Eugeo**
Stop! Stop right now!
**[21:07] Eugeo**
*I can't win. Not how I am now.*
**[21:10] Eugeo**
*I can't beat her.*
**[21:13] Kirito**
You can't defeat her with hatred, Eugeo.
**[21:20] Kirito**
You didn't come all this way
because you hated the Integrity Knights, right?
**[21:25] Kirito**
Aren't you're here because you want to get Alice back...
because you love her?
**[21:32] Kirito**
And those feelings aren't in any way
inferior to her justice.
**[21:36] Kirito**
It's the same for me.
**[21:38] Kirito**
I want to protect everyone in this world.
**[21:40] Kirito**
You... Alice...
**[21:43] Kirito**
I even want to protect her.
**[21:45] Kirito**
So right now, we can't lose to her no matter what.
**[21:51] Kirito**
Isn't that right, Eugeo?
**[22:01] Eugeo**
Enhance Armament!
**[23:36] Kirito**
Next time: The Osmanthus Knight.
