[00:17] Kirito     Wasn't the reason     you trained to be a swordsman [00:19] Kirito     and left Rulid Village     to head for the capital city, Centoria, [00:23] Kirito     to bring back your cherished childhood friend, Alice? SIGN    The 32nd Knight [02:28] Kirito     Eugeo. [02:29] Kirito     You and I have never fought seriously before,     have we? [02:34] Kirito     I've thought about it a lot. [02:37] Kirito     Which one of us would win     if we seriously crossed swords? [02:41] Kirito     To be honest,     I always thought you'd surpass me one day. [02:48] Kirito     I've never shown you this skill before! [03:05] Eugeo     Burst Element. [03:18] Alice     Is that person really your partner, Eugeo? [03:22] Kirito     What do you mean? [03:24] Kirito     You're the one who said     that Eugeo had already been synthesized! [03:28] Alice     That's true, but... [03:30] Alice     I'm not sure how to say this. [03:32] Alice     For someone who just     became an Integrity Knight, [03:35] Alice     he seems too accustomed to battle. [03:38] Alice     For instance,     the Incarnate Arms skill he used earlier, [03:40] Alice     as well as that Aerial Element skill just now, [03:43] Alice     makes it hard to believe he's a novice. [03:47] Alice     Should I fight him next? [03:51] Kirito     I'll do it. [04:01] Kirito     I'm counting on you, partner. [04:03] Kirito     I promise to give you a name     when this fight is over. [04:06] Kirito     So lend me your strength! [04:09] Kirito     Let's go, Eugeo! [04:51] Kirito     Does the skill you just used have a name? [04:54] Eugeo     Baltio style. Storm Wave. [04:57] Kirito     Baltio style? Golgorosso-senpai's sword style. [05:01] Kirito     Eugeo, do you... [05:03] Kirito     do you remember who taught you that sword skill? [05:06] Eugeo     I don't know or care. [05:09] Eugeo     She's the only one I need to know. [05:11] Eugeo     It's for her sake that I take up my sword,     and I live in order to eliminate her enemies. [05:19] Kirito     There's no doubt. [05:20] Kirito     Just like Eldrie and Alice, now Eugeo has... SIGN    The Piety Module is inserted in a way that blocks links to memories. SIGN    This seals away the past of the person becoming an Integrity Knight, SIGN    while simultaneously forcing absolute fealty to the Axiom Church and the pontifex. [05:38] Kirito     What kind of memories originally existed     where the module's embedded? [05:43] Kirito     If I can figure that out... [05:45] Kirito     No, words won't be enough     to break Administrator's art! [05:51] Kirito     What I infuse my sword with     will reach his soul. [05:54] Kirito     That's what I'm going to believe! [05:57] Kirito     Eugeo! [06:04] Kirito     Remember!     There are people who are precious to you! [06:08] Kirito     Selka, who's waiting back in Rulid Village     for our return! [06:12] Kirito     Golgorosso-senpai and Liena-senpai,     who instructed us at Swordcraft Academy! [06:16] Kirito     Tiese and Ronie, who worried about us     right up till the moment we said goodbye! [06:20] Kirito     And above all... [06:21] Kirito     wasn't your wish     to go back to Rulid with Alice? [06:32] Kirito     You have to remember, Eugeo! [07:10] Eugeo     Eugeo. [07:26] Eugeo     Alice. [07:28] Kirito     Did you remember, Eugeo? [07:34] Kirito     Eu... geo... [07:40] Alice     Kirito! [07:43] Eugeo     Enhance Armament. [07:57] Kirito     Eugeo. [07:59] Kirito     Why? [08:32] Chudelkin     Have you dealt with those rebels,     Number Thirty-two? [08:38] Eugeo     I've sealed the two rebels in ice,     Your Eminence, Prime Senator. [08:44] Chudelkin     That's fine, but... [08:46] Chudelkin     you did finish them off properly, didn't you? [08:50] Eugeo     No, I did not finish them off, Prime Senator. [08:54] Eugeo     Since the pontifex's order was to stop the rebels. [08:58] Chudelkin     That won't do! That just won't do! [09:01] Chudelkin     When you speak to me, remember to call me,     "Your Eminence, Prime Senator." [09:04] Chudelkin     "Your Eminence," got that? "Your Eminence"! [09:06] Chudelkin     The next time you forget the "Your Eminence,"     you'll be turned into a horse as punishment! [09:11] Chudelkin     You'll carry me on your back,     and while you're on all fours, I'll go "hi-yo"! [09:19] Chudelkin     Now then, I think I'll go     carry out Her Eminence's orders. [09:36] Eugeo     Lady Pontifex. [09:38] Administrator     Welcome back, Eugeo. [09:41] Administrator     You've taken care of your errand. [09:44] Eugeo     Yes. [09:45] Administrator     Well done! In that case,     I should give you a reward. [09:49] Administrator     Please climb onto the bed. [09:58] Administrator     All right, Eugeo, as promised,     let me give you what you desire. [10:05] Administrator     Love that's meant only for you. [10:09] Eugeo     Yes. [10:11] Administrator     But first, let me heal that wound for you. [10:19] Administrator     Also, [10:20] Administrator     let me have another good look at your face. [10:24] Administrator     Since there was a convenient hole     in your memory, [10:27] Administrator     I inserted the module there, [10:30] Administrator     but perhaps I shouldn't have been lazy. [10:33] Administrator     Let's redo your synthesis. [10:36] Administrator     You can have your reward after that,     all right, Eugeo? [11:11] Administrator     Just lie still. [11:18] Administrator     This is an improved module     I had just completed. [11:22] Administrator     Synthesizing you with it allows you     to use the power of "Meaning" immediately. [11:31] Administrator     Will you show me your memories again? [11:34] Administrator     This time, I'll insert it into the location     of what you hold most dear. [11:39] Administrator     I've made it so you can move your mouth. [11:42] Administrator     Now, chant the command I taught you earlier. [11:46] Administrator     Did you forget it?     What am I going to do with you? [11:50] Administrator     It's "Remove Core Protection." [11:54] Eugeo     M... [11:58] Eugeo     M... [12:02] Eugeo     Mo... [12:05] Eugeo     Mo... ve! [12:08] Administrator     You... [12:44] Administrator     For you to have regained your senses... [12:46] Administrator     You certainly fooled me. [12:51] Administrator     Not to mention, that prop is the handiwork     of that little brat from the Library, no? [12:56] Administrator     But that's too bad. [12:58] Administrator     No metal object of any kind     can damage my skin now. [13:04] Administrator     You poor child. [13:05] Administrator     Just when I'd promised you [13:08] Administrator     that if you gave all of yourself to me,     I'd love you back the same amount. [13:12] Administrator     That eternal love you've been seeking all your life,     that eternal control... [13:17] Administrator     you were so close to obtaining it! [13:22] Eugeo     Eternal... love? [13:25] Eugeo     Eternal... control. [13:28] Administrator     That's right, Eugeo. [13:30] Administrator     If you entrust everything to me, [13:32] Administrator     the thirst that's been making you suffer     will be quenched instantly. [13:36] Administrator     All the fears and worries you've been carrying     will be erased. [13:41] Administrator     This is your last chance, Eugeo. [13:44] Administrator     Use the sword at your waist     to shatter that toy. [13:47] Administrator     Do that, and I shall forgive your heinous crime     with my tremendous amount of love. [13:54] Eugeo     To love is to control, and to be controlled. [14:01] Eugeo     You're the pitiful one,     for having no other way to say it! [14:06] Eugeo     I'm sure you were once the same way. [14:08] Eugeo     Starved for love and sought it out, [14:11] Eugeo     but you were never given any. [14:13] Eugeo     Love isn't about control. [14:16] Eugeo     Nor is it something you can gain as a reward     or in a transaction. [14:19] Eugeo     The same way you water flowers, [14:21] Eugeo     you give it continuously. [14:23] Eugeo     I'm sure that that's what love is! [14:28] Administrator     How disappointing. [14:29] Administrator     I was going to forgive a sinful young boy     for rebelling against the Axiom Church [14:33] Administrator     and try to save his soul, [14:36] Administrator     but this is how you speak to me? [14:43] Administrator     Maybe it would be a waste     to kill you and turned you into a jewel. [14:47] Administrator     It will take some time, but perhaps     I'll use force synthesis on you, just like her. [14:53] Eugeo     Like her? [14:53] Administrator     That's right. [14:55] Administrator     Thirty, whom you're so infatuated with. [14:57] Administrator     Because she also refused to chant the command, [15:00] Administrator     the automated senators worked on her for days     to forcefully disable her protection. [15:05] Eugeo     Alice? [15:06] Administrator     Well, I was asleep,     so I wasn't actually watching, [15:10] Administrator     but it must have been so agonizing for her. [15:14] Administrator     Well? How do you feel about     getting to at least share that experience? [15:29] Eugeo     Shatter. [16:04] Administrator     That sword... [16:07] Administrator     Now I see. [16:14] Chudelkin     Please save me! [16:17] Chudelkin     Please save me, Your Eminence, Pontifex! [16:23] Chudelkin     You! [16:23] Chudelkin     H-He's a traitor, Your Eminence! [16:26] Chudelkin     He claimed that he sealed away Thirty     and the other one, but he went easy— [16:32] Chudelkin     Let go! [16:45] Eugeo     Kirito. [16:55] Kirito     Yo, Eugeo! [17:05] Eugeo     Sorry. [17:07] Eugeo     I gave in to Administrator's temptation,     and ended up hurting you both. [17:12] Eugeo     I thought I should at least atone for it     by my own hand. [17:15] Kirito     You're being so cold, Eugeo. [17:17] Kirito     I knew that's what you were thinking right away. [17:22] Eugeo     You're the same as always. [17:27] Eugeo     Alice. [17:42] Kirito     Is that the pontifex, Administrator? [17:46] Alice     That's right. [17:48] Alice     She hasn't changed at all after six years. [17:51] Administrator     It was almost time     to reset Bercouli and Fanatio, [17:55] Administrator     but I've only used you for six years, right? [17:59] Administrator     Your logic circuits don't seem to be malfunctioning. [18:03] Administrator     Could it be the influence of that irregular unit? [18:06] Administrator     How amusing. [18:09] Administrator     Hey, Alice, there must be something     you want to say to me. [18:14] Administrator     I won't get mad. So say it now. [18:30] Alice     Lady Pontifex, [18:32] Alice     our glorious order of Integrity Knights     has been destroyed as of today. [18:38] Alice     All because of the swords     of the two rebels beside me, [18:42] Alice     as well as the endless obsession and deception     you built along with this tower. [18:48] Alice     My ultimate mission is to safeguard a tranquil lifestyle     and peaceful sleep for those without swords. [18:54] Alice     Therefore, Lady Pontifex, your actions [18:57] Alice     are unquestionably detrimental to the well-being     of those who reside in the Human Empire. [19:03] Chudelkin     Shut... Shut your mouth! [19:06] Chudelkin     Y-You lowly, defective puppet knight! [19:10] Chudelkin     You wretched knights are merely puppets     that can only do as I order you to. [19:16] Administrator     It doesn't seem to be a logic circuit error, after all. [19:19] Administrator     And her Piety Module is still functioning. [19:22] Administrator     Meaning that she disabled the Code 871     imposed by that person of her own volition? [19:29] Administrator     Rather than by a sudden emotional burst? [19:32] Kirito     Code 871?     Is she talking about the Seal of the Right Eye? [19:36] Administrator     Well, I won't know anything more     unless I run an analysis. [19:41] Administrator     Now then. Chudelkin? [19:43] Administrator     Since I'm so generous, I'm giving you the chance     to restore your ruined reputation. [19:49] Administrator     Let's see you render those three powerless     with your arts. [19:55] Chudelkin     Y-Y-Your Eminence, Pontifex! [19:58] Administrator     What, Chudelkin? [20:02] Chudelkin     I, Prime Senator Chudelkin, [20:04] Chudelkin     for the first time in my many years of service,     beg to present to you a most insolent request! [20:10] Chudelkin     I shall gladly risk my life annihilating these rebels.     Therefore! [20:14] Chudelkin     Once I've carried out my mission,     if Your Eminence... Y-Your Eminence... [20:18] Chudelkin     If you would allow me touch your exalted body     with my own hands and kiss you, [20:22] Chudelkin     A-A-A-And then spend the night of my dreams with you... [20:26] Chudelkin     Please... please... please grant me that wish! [20:35] Administrator     Very well, Chudelkin. [20:38] Administrator     I swear on the goddess of creation, Stacia. [20:40] Administrator     When you've fulfilled your mission, [20:42] Administrator     every inch of my body     will be yours for the taking, for one night. [20:51] Chudelkin     I am overcome with supreme joy at this moment. [20:56] Chudelkin     And now... and now, I... [21:01] Chudelkin     My fighting spirit's been amplified!     I'm overflowing with energy! [21:03] Chudelkin     To be more specific... [21:05] Chudelkin     I am invincible! [21:09] Chudelkin     System... Call! [21:13] Chudelkin     Generate...Thermal... Element! [21:28] Chudelkin     Let me show you. [21:30] Chudelkin     My greatest, ultimate sacred art... [21:33] Chudelkin     Come forth, genie! [21:35] Chudelkin     Burn these rebels to ash! [23:36] Kirito     Next time: Titan of the Sword.
