**[00:02] Yuki**
* This is a tale of a girl born*
* on a planet far, far away.*
**[00:25] Joshua**
I was wondering where
I might find you, Princess Yuki.
**[00:32] Yuki**
Joshua!
**[00:33] Joshua**
The time has come.
You should begin the preparations.
**[00:41] Joshua**
Ow!
**[00:41] Yuki**
Quit acting all cool. It's not like you.
**[00:44] Yuki**
Don't tell me you're nervous.
**[00:46] Joshua**
I beg your pardon.
**[00:48] Joshua**
It's not like you to be scared, either!
**[00:52] Yuki**
H-How rude!
**[00:54] Yuki**
I'm not the slightest bit nervous...
**[00:57] Joshua**
Don't worry.
**[00:59] Joshua**
Miss Layla and I will be with you.
**[01:01] Joshua**
Right?
**[01:03] Yuki**
Yes!
**[01:09] Joshua**
You sure have grown, Yuki.
**[01:12] Yuki**
Thank you.
**[01:14] Yuki**
You're still really short, though, Joshua.
**[01:17] Yuki**
Even though you're 15,
**[01:18] Yuki**
you should be all grown up, right?
**[01:20] Joshua**
Yeah, yeah.
**[01:21] Joshua**
If you can still insult me
like that, you must be fine.
**[01:43] Layla**
Magnificent.
**[01:45] Layla**
You've memorized the words
of the ceremony, then?
**[01:48] Yuki**
Y-Yes, Miss Layla!
**[01:51] Layla**
Good. Then let us proceed.
**[02:24] Joshua**
Were you injured, Princess Yuki?
**[02:27] Yuki**
N-No! I'm fine.
**[02:31] Yuki**
I'm totally—
**[02:36] Yuki**
Th-Thank you...
**[02:42] Yuki**
Um... U-Um...
**[02:45] Joshua**
Passion and will, Yuki.
**[02:49] Joshua**
Everyone's waiting to hear from you.
**[02:51] Joshua**
Go on and nail it.
**[02:59] Yuki**
People of the Special State of Hariant,
home of our royal family.
**[03:03] Yuki**
I am grateful that you all
came here for me today.
**[03:09] Yuki**
I have turned twelve years old today.
**[03:13] Yuki**
I vow to assume more responsibility
**[03:16] Yuki**
and guide you all to ever greater prosperity!
**[03:29] Yuki**
Kingdom of Soleil, be eternal!
**[03:32] All**
Be eternal!
**[03:41] Layla**
It was a questionable start,
but you recovered well.
**[03:45] Layla**
Well done, Your Highness.
**[03:49] Yuki**
Thank you, everyone!

**[03:55] News**
*And now, our next story.*
**[03:57] News**
* The government has announced that*
* a new kind of chrars in development*
**[04:00] News**
*has reached the practical utility stage.*
**[04:05] Court**
Princess Yuki, happy birthday.
**[04:08] Court**
To celebrate your special day.
**[04:10] Yuki**
Yes, I leave it in your hands.
**[04:13] Court**
Princess Yuki.
**[04:14] Court**
Princess Yuki.
**[04:15] Court**
Princess Yuki.
**[04:17] Yuki**
In your hands!
**[04:18] Yuki**
In your hands!
**[04:19] Yuki**
In your hands!
**[04:20] Yuki**
In your hands!
**[04:21] Yuki**
In your hands!
**[04:23] Yuki**
I'm exhausted!
**[04:24] Joshua**
Things certainly seem more
prosperous this year.
**[04:28] Layla**
They've likely heard the rumors
of the new chrars,
**[04:31] Layla**
and are all eager to
get it for their own domain.
**[04:36] Joshua**
A new chrars?
**[04:39] Yuki**
Then why don't we send each
of them a little sample?
**[04:42] Yuki**
Is it ready for that yet, Miss Layla?
**[04:44] Layla**
Its development status was in
the report compiled by Advisor Izana.
**[04:49] Yuki**
I-I couldn't finish it...
**[04:51] Yuki**
I was just so focused on my
speech for the ceremony...
**[04:54] Layla**
I will no longer treat you as a child.
**[04:57] Layla**
From now on, you must earnestly
engage in the business of rule.
**[05:02] Yuki**
What's this?
**[05:03] Layla**
Today's assignments.
**[05:05] Layla**
Revised budget for the term, drafts of
legislative revisions, and related materials.
**[05:11] Layla**
Look through all of them by this evening,
and mark them approved.
**[05:13] Yuki**
No way! My fingerprint will be worn off!
**[05:16] Layla**
And as of this afternoon,
you'll be participating in parliament.
**[05:18] Layla**
Please finish your lunch by two o'clock.
**[05:23] Joshua**
C-C'mon, Miss Layla's only thinking of you...
**[05:27] Yuki**
Joshua!
**[05:30] Joshua**
Seriously, Yuki?
**[05:32] Yuki**
Indulge me! We'll be back with time to spare!
**[05:46] Yuki**
Father, Mother...
**[05:49] Yuki**
Are you watching me?
**[05:51] Yuki**
I'm twelve years old now.
**[05:54] Yuki**
I'm all grown up, see?
**[05:55] Yuki**
So don't worry about anything.
**[05:57] Yuki**
I'm going to do this right.
**[05:59] Yuki**
I'll see my princess duties
through and make you proud.
**[06:07] Yuki**
So please, watch over me from heaven!
**[06:12] Joshua**
I'll be here to keep Princess Yuki safe.
**[06:17] Kid**
Huh?
**[06:18] Kid**
Hey, that lady looks like Princess Yuki!
**[06:21] Kid**
Let's go look!
**[06:23] Kid**
Yeah!
**[06:24] Joshua**
That's not good!
**[06:25] Joshua**
We have to leave!
**[06:37] Joshua**
Hold perfectly still. Don't move.
**[06:43] Joshua**
They're gone.
**[06:45] Yuki**
Y-Yeah...
**[06:47] Joshua**
Okay, let's get back to the palace—
**[06:49] Voice**
*Your opponent is requesting a match.*
**[06:51] Voice**
*Will you join the battle?*
**[06:54] Yuki**
A theurgear game?
**[06:55] Joshua**
Looks like it. Let's go.
**[06:57] Voice**
*Beat ten opponents in a row and win a prize.*
**[07:00] Yuki**
Joshua!
**[07:02] Yuki**
Please!
**[07:04] Spectator**
This one's pretty good.
**[07:06] Spectator**
He's almost to nine in a row!
**[07:10] Joshua**
Passion and will!
**[07:11] Yuki**
Get 'em, Joshua!
**[07:14] Harold**
He never does fight pretty, does he?
**[07:16] Yuni**
And he calls himself a
member of the Royal Order?
**[07:22] Joshua**
Heck yeah!
**[07:23] Joshua**
Just one more to go!
**[07:25] Yuki**
Go get 'em, Joshua!
**[07:27] Yuni**
Joshua Ingram of the Order.
**[07:29] Yuni**
Lone son of the venerable Ingram family.
**[07:33] Yuni**
You expect to protect Princess Yuki
with such meager talents?
**[07:38] Joshua**
Who are you?!
**[07:38] Voice**
Fight!
**[07:45] Harold**
So close, yet so far.
**[07:51] Izana**
We have a last-minute change to the agenda.
**[07:54] Izana**
Let us first examine the report from
Grand Master Harold Miller of the Royal Order.
**[07:59] Harold**
Secret talks with the Empire of Grandiga
**[08:01] Harold**
took place three days ago
near the Wister border.
**[08:06] Yuki**
What did they have to say?
**[08:09] Harold**
They seem amicable.
**[08:11] Harold**
We should be able to renew
the non-aggression pact without issue.
**[08:16] Yuki**
Excellent work.
**[08:17] Yuki**
Oh, right, Harold.
**[08:19] Yuki**
Pass these on, won't you?
**[08:22] Yuki**
They're the birthday presents
everyone brought for me.
**[08:26] Yuki**
Unlike our kingdom, I hear
that the Empire has poor soil,
**[08:30] Yuki**
and that the people there are struggling.
**[08:34] Harold**
Indeed...
**[08:35] Yuki**
Please offer them these gifts
as a token of our friendship.
**[08:39] Yuni**
If I may be so bold,
could I make one comment?
**[08:43] Yuki**
What is it?
**[08:44] Yuni**
Your Highness, just what
do you think the Empire is?
**[08:49] Yuki**
They're our neighboring country.
**[08:51] Yuki**
You're supposed to help your neighbors
when they're struggling, aren't you?
**[08:54] Yuki**
We need to get along.
**[08:56] Yuni**
One more question, then.
**[08:57] Yuni**
What do you think of
the state of this country?
**[09:02] Yuni**
The monarchy was adopted as a necessary evil
**[09:05] Yuni**
when our ancestors first came to this planet.
**[09:07] Yuni**
The environment was still
unforgiving back then,
**[09:09] Yuni**
and the people sought a symbol
to give them strength.
**[09:13] Yuni**
But now, we have strong roots in this world.
**[09:18] Yuni**
The monarchy is a relic of the past.
**[09:20] Yuni**
Some might say that
it is no longer necessary.
**[09:23] Yuni**
We will manage the negotiations
with the Empire.
**[09:26] Yuni**
Kindly stay quiet and let us do our jobs.
**[09:28] Joshua**
You! How dare you insult the princess?!
**[09:37] Yuki**
Who are you?
**[09:39] Yuni**
Yuni Vanquish.
**[09:40] Yuni**
I serve the margrave of the State of Wister.
**[09:44] Yuki**
Yuni, I understand why
you feel the way you do,
**[09:48] Yuki**
but as a member of the royal family,
**[09:51] Yuki**
and as the daughter of my
late father and mother,
**[09:53] Yuki**
there are things on which
I will not compromise.
**[09:56] Yuki**
I want to make everyone in this kingdom—
**[09:58] Yuki**
to make everyone on this planet smile.
**[10:01] Yuki**
To accomplish that, I think there
must be things that only I can do.
**[10:06] Yuni**
And what are those?
**[10:07] Yuki**
Oh, I actually don't know yet!
**[10:10] Yuki**
You'll help me think of them,
won't you, Yuni?
**[10:14] Yuki**
Hey, what kind of place
is the State of Wister?
**[10:18] Yuki**
I've never left the city!
**[10:25] Yuni**
I respect your decision, Your Highness.
**[10:30] Yuni**
I apologize for my insolence.
**[10:32] Harold**
I must apologize,
**[10:34] Harold**
and I ask that you forgive her, for my sake.
**[10:36] Lune**
"Put Princess Yuki's character to the test."
**[10:40] Lune**
That was the order we
received from our master.
**[10:44] Yuki**
Oh, it's no problem.
**[10:47] Yuki**
Are you...
**[10:48] Lune**
Indeed, I am Yuni's twin brother.
**[10:51] Lune**
My name is Lune Vanquish.
**[10:53] Lune**
I brought them to the
capital at my discretion.
**[10:56] Lune**
I believe their piloting skills are a
match for any member of the Order.
**[11:01] Yuki**
Isn't that just great, Joshua?
**[11:04] Joshua**
Yes.
**[11:09] Harold**
Don't you do anything besides work?
**[11:12] Harold**
Come out with us for once.
**[11:14] Harold**
You haven't paid a proper visit
back home either, have you?
**[11:17] Harold**
Think about your poor wife.
**[11:18] Izana**
Don't worry about me.
**[11:20] Izana**
You should focus on teaching
your subordinates some manners.
**[11:24] Harold**
Joshua wasn't happy, was he?
**[11:28] Izana**
Of course he wasn't.
**[11:29] Izana**
He and Princess Yuki practically
grew up as brother and sister.
**[11:34] Izana**
They both lost their parents, too.
**[11:38] Izana**
Twelve years ago,
**[11:39] Izana**
while developing the new chrars.
**[11:42] Izana**
That incident...
**[11:44] Izana**
The energy source which makes our
civilization possible, chrarslapis,
**[11:48] Izana**
is a special ore that can
only be found on this planet.
**[11:51] Izana**
The dedication of the late royal
couple to keep their people fed
**[11:56] Izana**
led to attempts to develop more
efficient forms of chrars.
**[11:59] Izana**
But...
**[12:01] Harold**
It's ironic.
**[12:02] Harold**
That hope of theirs was
the death of both of them.
**[12:06] Izana**
Listen, about Joshua...
**[12:09] Harold**
He won't listen to anything I say.
**[12:12] Harold**
I can't stop him.
**[12:13] Izana**
Harold.
**[12:14] Harold**
I'll fulfill my duty.
**[12:18] Harold**
What about you?
**[12:21] Harold**
How many of the new chrars can
you prepare before we head out?
**[12:25] Izana**
Three.
**[12:26] Izana**
I'll have them sent
the minute they're finished.
**[12:29] Yuni**
What do you want?
**[12:31] Joshua**
You insulted the princess—insulted Yuki.
**[12:35] Joshua**
I'm going to make you pay!
**[12:45] Layla**
I win.
**[12:48] Layla**
Please try a bit harder next time.
**[12:50] Layla**
Chess is an excellent way to
nurture strategic thinking.
**[12:53] Yuki**
Is that something I need?
**[12:55] Layla**
You are technically
the ruler of this country.
**[12:58] Layla**
Everything you learn will
help you in that cause.
**[13:02] Yuki**
Yeah, yeah...
**[13:04] Izana**
Princess Yuki.
**[13:09] Yuni**
Two against one?
**[13:10] Yuni**
You must not think very highly of us.
**[13:12] Lune**
Let's use capture the flag rules.
**[13:14] Joshua**
Bring it on.
**[13:17] Yuki**
A duel?
**[13:18] Yuki**
Did Joshua make the challenge?
**[13:20] Izana**
Yes.
**[13:21] Izana**
It's merely a mock battle in the simulator.
**[13:23] Izana**
It's part of their training, but...
**[13:26] Yuki**
But why would he do that?
**[13:31] Harold**
Good morning.
**[13:32] Harold**
We've prepared you a front
row seat, Your Highness.
**[13:42] Yuki**
Joshua...
**[13:45] Joshua**
If anyone hurts Yuki, I'll make them pay!
**[13:49] Yuki**
He's doing this for me?
**[13:51] Yuni**
Don't come crying to me later
if you don't like the result.
**[13:54] Voice**
*Now displaying battlefield.*
**[13:56] Yuki**
To...
**[13:58] Layla**
"Tokyo." A city located on our old homeworld.
**[14:03] Yuki**
It's all blocky and ugly.
**[14:06] Harold**
A simple explanation of the rules:
**[14:08] Harold**
The team that seizes the other's flag wins.
**[14:11] Voice**
*Makeup of each team's theurgear platoon:*
**[14:14] Voice**
*One Gard.*
**[14:16] Voice**
*Two Squires.*
**[14:18] Voice**
*Two Krivanovs.*
**[14:20] Voice**
*No time limit.*
**[14:22] Voice**
*Visual range combat.*
**[14:24] Voice**
* All units except the leader unit*
* will be controlled remotely.*
**[14:28] Harold**
Both sides, begin!
**[14:31] Joshua**
Let's go!
**[14:32] Joshua**
Act fast and win!
**[14:34] Joshua**
Follow me!
**[14:39] Joshua**
Let's see... leave one unit
in front of the flag...
**[14:43] Joshua**
And the other...
**[14:45] Joshua**
What a pain in the neck!
**[14:51] Yuni**
Three enemy units approaching.
**[14:54] Yuni**
Smog?
**[14:55] Yuni**
How by-the-book.
**[14:57] Yuni**
Lune, how are the traps coming?
**[14:59] Lune**
All in place.
**[15:00] Lune**
Leave it all to me.
**[15:01] Yuki**
Two against one?
**[15:03] Yuki**
That's not fair!
**[15:04] Harold**
That's how Joshua wanted it.
**[15:06] Harold**
He wants to overcome
the handicap to prove his skill.
**[15:19] Joshua**
Y-Yeah, that figures...
**[15:22] Joshua**
But I won't make it easy!
**[15:44] Yuni**
Two units withdrew, eh?
**[15:50] Yuni**
Lune, you handle things over there!
**[15:59] Lune**
One unit down, two to go!
**[16:09] Lune**
That's just one... a decoy?
**[16:14] Joshua**
Secret's out already?
**[16:15] Joshua**
Then let's go for it!
**[16:18] Yuni**
I anticipated this.
**[16:21] Joshua**
Yeah, yeah.
**[16:23] Joshua**
Then I'll just have to force my way through!
**[16:36] Joshua**
Need to get that one first...
**[16:57] Joshua**
M-Make it in time!
**[17:03] Lune**
Aside from the leader unit,
there should be two enemies left.
**[17:07] Lune**
Proceed with caution!
**[17:09] Yuki**
Darn it!
**[17:09] Yuki**
It's two on one!
**[17:11] Yuki**
I can help him, can't I?
**[17:14] Harold**
As you wish.
**[17:15] Yuki**
*Joshua, can you hear me?*
**[17:17] Joshua**
Y-Yuki?
**[17:19] Yuki**
*Stay underground and keep moving south!*
**[17:21] Yuki**
*That should get you around behind their flag!*
**[17:23] Joshua**
Right!
**[17:24] Joshua**
W-Wait, this position is perfect...
**[17:27] Yuki**
*Perfect? For what?*
**[17:30] Joshua**
Give me a break already!
**[17:32] Yuki**
I don't have a choice.
**[17:33] Yuki**
Harold, pull up a diagram of that building.
**[17:37] Harold**
As you wish, but what are you...
**[17:42] Harold**
I see...
**[17:45] Lune**
No defenses?
**[17:46] Lune**
No resistance, either?
**[17:48] Lune**
What in the...
**[17:49] Yuki**
*Harold! Now!*
**[18:01] Lune**
Can they do that?!
**[18:03] Izana**
Impossible. The flag...
**[18:05] Layla**
...was buried?
**[18:06] Yuki**
Now our opponents can't get it.
**[18:07] Yuki**
Problem solved, right?
**[18:09] Yuki**
Harold, we have one more
ally machine, don't we?
**[18:13] Yuki**
I'm going to use that.
**[18:15] Harold**
Understood.
**[18:37] Yuki**
*Joshua, can you hear me?*
**[18:38] Yuki**
*Everything's ready up here!*
**[18:40] Joshua**
Roger that! I'm on my way!
**[18:51] Yuni**
That sound...
**[18:54] Yuni**
What?!
**[18:56] Izana**
Water's flowing out from underground?
**[18:58] Harold**
Yes. The unit working on
its own must have set it up.
**[19:03] Harold**
That culvert was likely used to
channel the city's waste water.
**[19:07] Harold**
Joshua destroyed one of the weirs.
**[19:10] Harold**
The underground area quickly flooded,
**[19:12] Harold**
and the only way out for the water was...
**[19:17] Joshua**
Passion and will!
**[19:21] Yuki**
That's what Joshua was after?
**[19:23] Harold**
And you happened to tilt that
tower to a perfect angle.
**[19:28] Harold**
But it's no surprise you're so in sync,
seeing as you grew up together.
**[19:34] Joshua**
Heck yeah!
**[19:44] Harold**
The winner is Team Joshua.
**[19:46] Harold**
The training is now over.
**[19:53] Layla**
Are you certain about this?
**[19:55] Layla**
Permitting the Royal Order
to go to the border...
**[19:58] Yuki**
Yes.
**[19:59] Yuki**
Harold said we should send a delegation
to the Empire out in the open this time.
**[20:05] Yuki**
See?
**[20:10] Yuki**
See you later, Yuni, Lune!
**[20:13] Joshua**
Well, I should be going, too.
**[20:16] Layla**
Joshua is a part of the delegation, as well.
**[20:20] Layla**
The list was in the documents
I gave you earlier, I believe.
**[20:23] Yuki**
No way!
**[20:24] Joshua**
Yuki!
**[20:31] Joshua**
It's a bit belated,
**[20:33] Joshua**
but I wish you a very happy birthday.
**[20:40] Yuki**
Quit acting all cool.
**[20:41] Yuki**
It's not like you.
**[20:43] Joshua**
Hey!
**[20:45] Yuki**
This is an order from your princess.
**[20:47] Yuki**
Show her the outside world in my stead.
**[20:53] Joshua**
So that's the deal, is it?
**[20:55] Joshua**
Got it. See you soon!
**[21:09] Yuki**
Make us proud, Joshua!
**[21:21] Yuki**
Joshua...
**[23:00] Bridge**
We're currently passing through Hariant.
**[23:03] Harold**
Are you sure about this, Joshua?
**[23:05] Joshua**
Yes.
**[23:06] Joshua**
I will protect Yuki's smile...
**[23:09] Joshua**
with passion and will!
**[23:14] Harold**
This is the current state at the border.
**[23:18] Harold**
To spare Princess Yuki tremendous heartache,
**[23:20] Harold**
we need to settle this ourselves.

**[00:00] josh**
* For generations, House Ingram*
* has guarded the royal family*
**[00:04] josh**
*and protected the country.*
**[00:14] (Flashback) mos**
You've improved quite a bit, Harold.
**[00:16] (Flashback) mos**
Shall we call it a day?
**[00:19] (Flashback) har**
Grand Master Ingram,
**[00:21] (Flashback) har**
would you join us for dinner tonight?
**[00:23] (Flashback) har**
My wife has been wanting to see Joshua.
**[00:26] (Flashback) mos**
Then we'll settle this the usual way:
with a drinking contest!
**[00:31] (Flashback) har**
Bring it on!
**[00:33] josh**
*After Mom passed, Dad raised me by himself.*
**[00:40] josh**
*But...*
**[00:56] (Flashback) iz**
Joshua.
**[00:58] (Flashback) iz**
Your father served nobly
right up to the end.
**[01:09] (Flashback) iz**
It appears Princess Yuki is fond of you.
**[01:17] (Flashback) iz**
You will live in the Royal Palace
of Soleil from now on.
**[01:20] (Flashback) iz**
You must make Princess Yuki smile.
**[01:22] (Flashback) iz**
We're counting on you.
**[01:24] josh**
*As my father's son,*
**[01:26] josh**
*as a man of House Ingram,*
**[01:29] josh**
*I swore that I would protect her smile.*
**[01:35] josh**
Let's go.
**[01:36] aud**
*We're arriving in the theater of operations.*
**[01:38] aud**
*All units deploy.*
**[02:02] aud**
Dracorn Unit, Monocherous Unit,
take the right wing.
**[02:04] aud**
Gigarth Unit, Fantazma Unit,
take the left wing and fan out.
**[02:07] aud**
Dracorn, roger that.
**[02:08] aud**
Monocherous, roger that.
**[02:09] aud**
Gigarth, roger that.
**[02:10] aud**
Fantazma, roger that.
**[02:11] aud**
Pegasus Unit, vanguard. Lead the Chranio
and Larva Units with the Margrave's Unit
**[02:16] aud**
to set up a defense line
at the designated point.
**[02:17] aud**
Testa Unit, cover the carrier.
**[02:19] aud**
Pegasus, roger that.
**[02:21] aud**
Testa, roger that.
**[02:24] aud**
Deploying fifteen-car infantry
company to act as reserves.
**[02:38] ian**
Reporting five enemy carriers.
**[02:40] ian**
We believe it to be
the Imperial 8th Area Army.
**[02:45] james**
There's no place more crucial to
national defense than northern Wister.
**[02:50] james**
This is the only route by which the Empire
can mount a land invasion on a massive scale.
**[02:55] har**
The large canyons throughout the wasteland
provide a natural stronghold,
**[03:00] har**
so the enemy has merely been
biding their time until now.
**[03:03] har**
If they manage to break through,
**[03:04] har**
the war will spread quickly
throughout the kingdom.
**[03:07] har**
We're at a critical moment.
**[03:08] james**
Main cannons, fire!
**[03:17] josh**
Keep calm.
**[03:18] josh**
Just do it like in training.
**[03:20] josh**
Stay strong, Joshua Ingram!

**[04:55] yu**
Joshua's not picking up!
**[04:57] lay**
Of course he isn't.
**[04:58] lay**
It's about time for the talks between
the Royal Order and the Empire to begin.
**[05:04] yu**
The State of Wister, huh?
**[05:06] yu**
It's so far away...
**[05:09] yu**
I wonder if Joshua's okay.
**[05:11] yu**
I hope he hasn't made their Order angry...
**[05:16] lay**
Unlike us, the Empire of Grandiga
does not practice chivalry.
**[05:21] lay**
Thus, they lack a chivalric order.
**[05:23] yu**
What? Really?
**[05:25] lay**
Yes.
**[05:26] lay**
A state in which the military elite
hold the authority over the citizenry,
**[05:29] lay**
a military dictatorship.
**[05:31] lay**
That is the nature of the force
with which we share this planet,
**[05:35] lay**
the Grandiga Empire.
**[05:36] peg**
Prepare for close combat!
**[05:37] peg**
Don't let them get through!
**[06:11] peg**
What's wrong?
**[06:12] peg**
Wound up about your first live combat?
**[06:14] josh**
Commander...
**[06:15] peg**
I'll watch your six.
**[06:17] peg**
Go out there and show 'em
what you can do!
**[06:20] josh**
Roger that!
**[06:21] josh**
Let's go!
**[06:22] josh**
Passion and will!
**[06:32] peg**
Not bad.
**[06:34] peg**
Never knew a Gard could move like that.
**[06:36] peg**
Our right wing, Dracorn and Monocherous Units
**[06:38] peg**
have gotten to within 800 of enemy fleet.
**[06:43] yuni**
Assembly line trash!
**[06:44] lune**
They're nothing!
**[06:52] ian**
Enemy forces are withdrawing!
**[06:54] james**
Too easy.
**[06:56] james**
This was a recon operation
to determine our strength.
**[07:00] har**
I know that, James.
**[07:02] har**
But we haven't revealed
our trump card yet, either.
**[07:07] james**
Withdraw!
**[07:08] james**
All units, hurry back to the ships!
**[07:21] josh**
I'm still alive, Yuki.
**[07:24] lune**
Oh?
**[07:26] lune**
Is that supposed to be Princess Yuki?
**[07:27] yuni**
You've got a real precious side, you know.
**[07:32] yuni**
Are you still keeping it from the princess?
**[07:34] yuni**
The fact that war has broken out
between us and the Empire...
**[07:38] josh**
Yeah.
**[07:39] josh**
I can't imagine how sad
she'd be to learn about it.
**[07:43] josh**
I hope she never has to know,
so that she can just keep smiling.
**[07:49] josh**
Yuki will always be a symbol
of peace for our kingdom.
**[07:52] josh**
Keeping her from harm is
our duty as retainers.
**[07:57] yuni**
Understood.
**[07:58] yuni**
We must hold the enemy off here.
**[08:02] josh**
I look forward to working with you.
**[08:03] josh**
It's time to really show
our passion and will!
**[08:07] lune**
Sorry. We're not big on the fiery rhetoric.
**[08:11] yu**
I really wish you'd stop shouting it
over the comms, too.
**[08:13] yu**
It gives me a headache.
**[08:15] josh**
S-Sorry...
**[08:18] op**
This is the signal from Grad,
capital of the State of Wister, to enter port.
**[08:21] op**
The gate will now open.
**[08:38] yuni**
That's our lord,
**[08:40] yuni**
Margrave Girard.
**[08:42] har**
The situation seems to have deteriorated.
**[08:45] gir**
Yes.
**[08:46] gir**
Our active forces have dropped
to almost 30% of where they were
**[08:51] gir**
when you and the twins left
for Hariant ten days ago.
**[08:55] gir**
But we're glad to get that
new chrars you brought.
**[08:59] gir**
Yuni, Lune, I'm glad you're both safe, as well.
**[09:02] both**
Yes, sir.
**[09:03] lune**
We're unworthy of your praise.
**[09:05] gir**
I'm counting on you.
**[09:11] josh**
If I might offer a piece of advice...
**[09:14] josh**
We don't have any time to lose.
**[09:16] josh**
I believe it's time to bring out our trump card.
**[09:20] gir**
What do you mean?
**[09:21] sol**
Keep it moving forward!
**[09:23] sol**
Don't jostle it!
**[09:24] sol**
Stop! Lower it in!
**[09:29] sol**
Installation complete! Connection confirmed!
**[09:32] gir**
Is that the new chrars?
**[09:41] josh**
I'm increasing the output!
**[09:48] yuni**
He really is reckless.
**[09:50] yuni**
Altitude is 70... 75 over
chrars stability level.
**[09:54] james**
Is he trying to break the altitude barrier?
**[09:57] james**
It was one thing for the technology
of the ancient immigrants,
**[10:00] james**
but these days, operating an air
force on this planet is impossible.
**[10:04] james**
The chrars stops responding
and you can't produce energy.
**[10:07] aud**
One hundred. Altitude barrier broken.
**[10:15] josh**
I-It's no use...
**[10:16] josh**
Is that the limit?
**[10:18] josh**
Go!
**[10:25] op**
Did you see that power?
**[10:26] op**
Impossible!
**[10:27] james**
So it still won't get us to flight.
**[10:30] gir**
But if we could power our entire
army with this new chrars...
**[10:37] har**
I'll install the remaining two
new chrars into your theurgears.
**[10:43] har**
Tomorrow, we'll make the first strike.
**[10:45] har**
We're going to get a few licks in, too.
**[10:49] josh**
We can do this.
**[10:50] josh**
With power like this,
we have nothing to fear.
**[11:00] josh**
* It's bad for your health to*
* stay up this late, Princess.*
**[11:03] yuki**
Joshua!
**[11:08] man**
Plant them on the hovers and the limb joints.
**[11:11] man**
We just need to ground them.
**[11:19] josh**
No luck, huh?
**[11:22] josh**
I heard our ancestors' planet was
covered in beautiful flowers, though...
**[11:28] josh**
* Maybe sunflowers just won't*
* bloom on this planet.*
**[11:32] josh**
* I wonder why... Maybe the soil*
* just isn't right for them?*
**[11:35] yuki**
I don't know.
**[11:37] yuki**
But Izana told me...
**[11:39] yuki**
When Mother was alive, she worked hard
trying to get these flowers to grow.
**[11:46] josh**
*I hear you.*
**[11:47] josh**
*I'll look into it, too.*
**[11:50] yuki**
Really?
**[11:51] josh**
*Well, I should go. Early day tomorrow.*
**[11:53] josh**
*I'll call you again soon.*
**[11:55] yuki**
Sure!
**[11:56] yuki**
Good luck with your duties, Joshua!
**[11:58] josh**
*Right.*
**[11:59] josh**
*Good night, Yuki.*
**[12:01] josh**
*Pleasant dreams.*
**[12:09] yuki**
* That Joshua... Has he matured*
* some since last I saw him?*
**[12:13] lay**
Princess Yuki, you haven't moved.
**[12:16] yuki**
R-Right.
**[12:24] yuki**
That's checkmate!
**[12:25] lay**
That's against the rules.
**[12:27] yuki**
But in a real battle, people don't
always play by the rules, do they?
**[12:31] yuki**
That mock battle before was so much fun!
**[12:33] yuki**
I think I might actually be
pretty good at that stuff!
**[12:37] yuki**
Can I do it again some time?
**[12:39] yuki**
Using a theurgear is a lot
more fun than chess!
**[12:43] lay**
War is not a game.
**[12:46] lay**
Never forget that.
**[12:48] yuki**
Well, of course it's not.
**[12:49] yuki**
Even I know that!
**[12:52] yuki**
You're weird, Miss Layla.
**[12:55] lay**
Did you send the request for a ceasefire?
**[12:57] iza**
I did.
**[12:58] iza**
But there was no response.
**[13:02] iza**
The Empire's territory is vast,
**[13:04] iza**
but they don't have
the resources to maintain it all.
**[13:08] iza**
It was obvious that they would try to invade.
**[13:10] iza**
To oppose them, we rushed
the development of new chrars, but...
**[13:15] lay**
It backfired?
**[13:18] lay**
The empire was waiting for us
to complete the new chrars.
**[13:24] lay**
They chose to invade now
in order to steal it.
**[13:27] iza**
It's pointless to debate about it now.
**[13:30] iza**
Our kingdom's future was
already far from bright.
**[13:33] iza**
You were aware of that, too,
weren't you, Layla?
**[13:37] iza**
Every year, our country's soil
produces lower crop yields.
**[13:42] iza**
It wasn't just about boosting our military.
**[13:44] iza**
We needed the new chrars to keep
the people from starvation.
**[13:50] har**
The Empire has materiel superiority.
**[13:52] har**
But our individual machines have
superior specs and armaments.
**[13:56] har**
Therefore...
**[13:57] james**
Rather than continuing this war of attrition,
**[13:59] james**
we need to stretch out the front
and whittle down the enemy forces.
**[14:03] har**
This will be the main theater.
**[14:05] har**
Six platoons, including Pegasus,
**[14:06] har**
and the Margrave's unit will set an ambush,
**[14:09] har**
while another unit leads
the enemy to them.
**[14:12] har**
Joshua, that will be your
Gard's responsibility.
**[14:16] josh**
Yes, sir!
**[14:17] har**
Just to be safe, Dracorn Unit,
Monocheros Unit,
**[14:20] har**
you'll stand watch over this tributary tunnel
**[14:22] dra**
Yes, sir!
**[14:23] dra**
Plant explosives on either end.
**[14:25] dra**
If we have to, we'll collapse the ravine
**[14:28] dra**
and seal off their route into Grad.
**[14:31] har**
We'll commence the operation in 90 minutes.
**[14:34] har**
All soldiers, take your positions!
**[14:36] all**
Yes, sir!
**[15:00] josh**
Pegasus 2, safe and sound!
**[15:02] peg**
Great job!
**[15:03] peg**
Krivanovs, fire at will!
**[15:28] peg**
If you're trying to trigger the explosives
planted on the three theurgears yesterday,
**[15:32] peg**
we've already removed them.
**[15:35] james**
Using the new chrars as a bargaining chip
to negotiate a surrender to the Empire...
**[15:40] james**
Was that the plan?
**[15:41] har**
Why did you betray us?
**[15:44] gir**
The fighting over these last
ten days has made it clear...
**[15:47] gir**
The empire is more serious
than it's ever been.
**[15:50] gir**
The new chrars are impressive,
but three alone won't save us.
**[15:54] gir**
I didn't want to see my city
burned to the ground.
**[15:57] gir**
I was willing to face the disgrace of
betrayal to keep my people alive.
**[16:03] har**
Fool.
**[16:05] har**
With a mindset so preoccupied with peace,
you'll never protect anything.
**[16:10] yuni**
Lord Girard... why?
**[16:13] yuni**
I'll keep Grad safe if it costs me my life.
**[16:16] yuni**
On that, I will stake my pride
as a knight of this region!
**[16:30] kri**
What?!
**[16:31] kri**
Damned Empire!
They've got tactics like this?!
**[16:47] lune**
This is Gigarth 3!
**[16:49] lune**
The Krivanovs have suffered major losses!
**[16:54] har**
Seal off all routes!
**[16:56] har**
All units, return to Grad.
**[16:58] har**
Prepare for a siege!
**[16:59] peg**
Roger that!
**[17:13] ian**
Route A sealed!
**[17:26] eng**
It won't trigger!
**[17:28] yuni**
Enemy squad sighted!
**[17:30] dra**
Fall back!
**[17:33] aud**
Dracorn, Monocheros, switch to defense!
**[17:35] aud**
We don't know how many of them there are!
**[17:37] lune**
Yuni!
**[17:38] lune**
Damn. My machine's locked up!
**[17:40] josh**
Lune! I'll go!
**[17:49] yuni**
I'll detonate it directly!
**[17:51] drac**
We'll back you up!
**[17:58] yuni**
Don't get in my way!
**[18:03] yuni**
Damn it!
**[18:08] yuni**
Joshua?
**[18:09] josh**
I'll handle it! Get out of here!
**[18:14] josh**
Passion and will!
**[18:19] josh**
Is this as far as I go?
**[18:22] josh**
But I won't let you people
get any further, either!
**[18:26] josh**
So long, Yuki!
**[18:39] yuni**
Turn off your engine!
**[18:40] yuni**
We're getting out of here!
**[18:43] yuni**
I appreciate what you did.
**[18:45] yuni**
I suppose I'm in your debt...
**[18:48] josh**
You've got a real precious side, you know?
**[18:51] yuni**
Sh-Shut up!
**[18:57] josh**
I didn't quite manage to die...
**[18:59] josh**
But then, I'm not really the hero type, am I?
**[19:03] josh**
But...
**[19:05] josh**
Watch me, Dad.
**[19:07] josh**
I'm going to surpass you!
**[19:17] yuki**
I did it!
**[19:18] yuki**
I know! I should tell Joshua!
**[19:20] lay**
Princess Yuki.
**[19:22] lay**
Prepare to depart.
**[19:25] yuki**
What's wrong, Miss Layla?
**[19:27] lay**
I'll explain later. Just come along.
**[19:30] yu**
Okay, but where are we going?
**[19:31] yu**
To Meredith, capital of the State of Soleil.
**[19:34] yu**
The Order's carrier is pulling into port.
**[19:37] yuki**
Will Joshua be with them?
**[19:39] yuki**
I'm so glad!
**[19:40] yuki**
There's something I have to tell him,
**[19:43] yuki**
but I can't seem to get in
touch with him by terminal!
**[19:46] yuki**
I'm so happy, though!
**[19:47] yuki**
It's been years since I last left Hariant!
**[19:55] yuki**
The Order's carrier...
**[19:57] yuki**
What happened?
**[19:58] iza**
After a five-day siege,
**[20:00] iza**
a border city called Grad
fell into enemy hands.
**[20:05] lay**
Margrave Girard surrendered.
**[20:08] lay**
The Order narrowly managed
to escape and came here.
**[20:11] yuki**
What are you guys talking about?
**[20:14] yuki**
What's going on?
**[20:15] yuki**
That theurgear before...
**[20:17] yuki**
Why was it... so...
**[20:30] har**
I'm sorry.
**[20:32] har**
He... just now...
**[20:51] yuki**
Joshua?
**[20:54] yuki**
No way...
**[21:05] yuki**
No!
**[22:49] lil**
Hey, Stella! There you are!
**[22:52] hu**
These are all the survivors
we have, sad to say.
**[23:00] hu**
Special Ensign Gail Owens.
**[23:03] hu**
Their commander died in combat,
**[23:05] hu**
so I'll be taking command of the five
members of the Buerger Squad.
**[23:09] hu**
Too bad it's such a band of weirdos.
**[23:12] hu**
I daresay I'm the only normal one.
**[23:20] stel**
A pleasure to meet you.
**[23:22] stel**
I am Petty Officer First Class
Stella Shining.

**[00:24] gail**
Finally sacked the place, eh?
**[00:26] stel**
Has it been a month
since the Battle of Grad?
**[00:29] gail**
They held out longer than expected.
**[00:32] gail**
First the border town of Grad, now Lorgeth.
**[00:35] gail**
We've secured the strategic
points in the north.
**[00:38] gail**
But they've probably used the time
**[00:40] gail**
to fortify their capital
with forces from all over.
**[00:43] stel**
We'll need to proceed carefully, then.
**[00:48] gail**
Have to wonder how long this

I'll fight for as long as it takes.

**[02:41] lil**
Hey, Stella.
**[02:43] lil**
Do you know what our commander's doing here?
**[02:46] stel**
He was transferred here, wasn't he?
**[02:48] lil**
Well, I know *that*.
**[02:50] lil**
But what I meant is—
**[02:52] hu**
The rumor that he ignored
an order from above, right?
**[02:55] lil**
No one's talking to you, Huey!
**[02:58] pie**
It's an entirely baseless rumor.
**[03:01] pie**
Even before the war, our commander
**[03:03] pie**
was assigned missions:
VIP escorts, stamping out terrorists...
**[03:06] pie**
He always carried out his
orders to the letter.
**[03:09] brea**
All the more reason for the rumors, I'd say.
**[03:13] brea**
How'd a guy like him end up leading
a squad like ours, y'know?
**[03:16] pie**
What do you mean, "a squad like ours"?
**[03:18] pie**
Warrant Officer Break, don't you
have any pride in our squad?
**[03:23] hu**
Don't forget, Pierce.
**[03:25] hu**
The guy's been a real creep from the start.
**[03:28] hu**
Always looking down his nose
at us one way or another...
**[03:31] brea**
Like "I'm way too classy to
share a tent with you lot"?
**[03:35] hu**
That's it! That's exactly how he—
**[03:38] lil**
The *point* is, he's been
assigned to us for a month,
**[03:41] lil**
but we still don't know anything about him.
**[03:44] lil**
I don't like putting my life in
the hands of someone like that.
**[03:48] pie**
You feel that way, too, Petty Officer Lily?
**[03:51] lil**
What do you think, Stella?
**[03:53] stel**
I don't know.
**[03:56] com**
On the eastern edge of the State of Caldarth
**[03:59] com**
lies a city called Azaria.
**[04:01] com**
It's said to be a quiet place
ruled by a local lord.
**[04:04] gail**
What's its significance?
**[04:07] com**
According to prisoners we took
at the Battle of Lorgeth,
**[04:10] com**
there's a chance some supplies have
been left at the local forces' base.
**[04:15] com**
But we can't afford to lose
forces in another battle
**[04:18] com**
with nothing to show for it in the end.
**[04:21] gail**
You want us to perform recon?
**[04:23] com**
It seems the local lord took
the bulk of his army to guard Hariant.
**[04:27] com**
Only a small local force should be present.
**[04:30] com**
Infiltration shouldn't be difficult.
**[04:34] gail**
That ends the briefing.
**[04:35] gail**
We'll depart at 0800 tomorrow.
**[04:38] gail**
Any questions?
**[04:40] hu**
Sounds like a relaxing change of pace to me.
**[04:42] pie**
Petty Officer Huey.
**[04:44] pie**
People who say things like that
tend to be the first to die.
**[04:48] hu**
Scary.
**[04:49] hu**
Pierce and Break, once we arrive,
**[04:51] hu**
you'll stand by in theurgears
on the city's east side.
**[04:54] both**
Yes, sir.
**[04:54] both**
Yes, sir.
**[04:56] gail**
The rest of us will investigate the city.
**[04:58] both**
Yes, sir.
**[04:59] both**
Yes, sir.
**[05:00] stel**
Yes, sir.
**[05:16] gail**
After we scout the location,
we'll rendezvous here at 2000 hours.
**[05:26] hu**
For being out in the boonies,
they've got some pretty nice stuff...
**[05:30] lil**
I knew they were at a different
phase of industrialization,
**[05:33] lil**
but it's still a shock to see it up close.
**[05:38] lil**
Hey, that one would look great on Stella!
**[05:42] lil**
So would that one!
**[05:44] hu**
And Soleil wants to keep all
of this to themselves...
**[05:50] stel**
Yuki Soleil?
**[05:52] stel**
She really is still a child, isn't she?
**[05:56] gail**
If you had to kill that princess...
**[05:59] gail**
what would you do?
**[06:02] stel**
I'd kill her if I was ordered to, of course.
**[06:12] gail**
Appreciate the patronage.
**[06:14] sol**
Thanks for coming by.
**[06:19] gail**
So this is their food storehouse?
**[06:23] stel**
I certainly hope they've
left some behind, but...
**[06:33] stel**
As I thought, it's all
been taken out, hasn't it?
**[06:36] gail**
Given the state of the conflict,
it's not surprising.
**[06:40] stel**
Are we struggling for other resources, too?
**[06:50] gail**
Show yourself.
**[06:58] gail**
What are you doing?
**[07:00] al**
Mauli!
**[07:02] mau**
Alan!
**[07:03] al**
I told you not to come in here!
**[07:05] mau**
I'm sorry.
**[07:08] al**
Put it back.
**[07:15] mau**
I'm sorry. We'll be going now.
**[07:17] stel**
Wait. Who are you?
**[07:21] al**
We live in the administrative building.
**[07:24] stel**
Administrative building?
**[07:25] al**
Since no one's using it at the moment.
**[07:27] stel**
And you're living there, long-term?
**[07:31] mau**
Hey. You guys work for a laundry, right?
**[07:34] mau**
What are you doing here?
**[07:37] gail**
A friend of ours works in this storehouse.
**[07:40] gail**
We thought we'd drop in on him
while we were on the job...
**[07:43] mau**
They took all the food out of here yesterday.
**[07:47] mau**
Your friend probably went with them.
**[07:50] gail**
Most likely.
**[07:52] al**
We'd better go.
**[07:53] al**
We'll get an earful from
the Order if they see us.
**[07:56] stel**
The Order?
**[07:58] al**
Let's go, Mauli.
**[07:59] gail**
Wait a minute.
**[08:01] gail**
The Order would be less likely
to see you in a truck, right?
**[08:10] kids**
One, two... three!
**[08:15] ---**
Run!
**[08:23] girl**
Mauli!
**[08:24] boy**
Alan!
**[08:26] girl**
Where have you been?
**[08:27] mau**
The food storehouse.
**[08:30] boy**
Who are they?
**[08:31] mau**
They're the laundry guys.
**[08:33] mau**
They gave us a ride in their truck!
**[08:34] boy**
No fair!
**[08:35] boy**
How'd things go at the storehouse?
You find any food?
**[08:37] mau**
I found some canned fruit, but...
**[08:39] al**
You know we couldn't take it with us.
**[08:42] boy**
But the old guy has it.
**[08:45] boy**
Look! Look!
**[08:50] gail**
I'm a sucker for sweets, that's all.
**[08:52] al**
You...
**[08:53] gail**
Besides, it's close to its expiration date.
**[08:56] gail**
It would just spoil if we left it there.
**[08:58] gail**
Better to share it among us, I think.
**[09:00] gail**
How about you?
**[09:07] al**
Let the children have some, please.
**[09:12] gail**
All right!
**[09:13] lan**
C'mon, Lana! Have some with us!
**[09:21] al**
Here!
**[09:23] girl**
So good!
**[09:23] al**
Calm down!
**[09:34] stel**
You're not going to join them?
**[09:38] stel**
I'm Stella.
**[09:42] lan**
Lana.
**[09:45] stel**
That's a cute doll.
**[09:47] lan**
Papa and Mama bought her for me.
**[09:51] stel**
She's important to you, then?
**[09:53] lan**
Yeah.
**[09:54] lan**
They both died in the war.
**[10:00] lan**
Everyone else is the same as me.
**[10:02] lan**
They said they brought us
here because it was safe.
**[10:10] gail**
Did you like that?
**[10:12] all**
Yeah!
**[10:14] gail**
Speaking of which, that Order
you mentioned before...
**[10:18] gail**
Would that be Hariant's chivalric order?
**[10:20] kid**
Yeah.
**[10:21] gail**
I've never met them before.
**[10:23] gail**
Have they been here a while?
**[10:25] boy**
They have, right?
**[10:26] boy**
Yeah.
**[10:27] boy**
In that building.
**[10:28] girl**
Yeah.
**[10:34] gail**
I see.
**[10:35] gail**
Well, seeing as they're valued clients,
**[10:36] gail**
we ought to stop by and pay our respects.
**[10:39] gail**
Shall we?
**[11:01] kids**
Go! Go!
**[11:03] stel**
Hey, Lana.
**[11:05] kid**
Not fair!
**[11:07] kid**
Hey, let me try!
**[11:09] stel**
If...
**[11:11] stel**
If you feel like there's nowhere in
the world where you belong, don't worry.
**[11:17] stel**
You'll find your place someday.
**[11:21] lan**
Really?
**[11:23] stel**
I was the same as you.
**[11:27] lan**
Did you find a place?
**[11:30] stel**
Yes.
**[11:39] lan**
Here.
**[11:42] stel**
Thank you.
**[11:46] stel**
Lieutenant.
**[11:47] lieu**
I can't get in touch with
Special Ensign Owens.
**[11:51] lieu**
He's running an infiltration right now.
**[11:53] lieu**
He'll be out of touch until
his scheduled contact time.
**[11:57] lieu**
*What's going on?*
**[11:58] stel**
He learned that the Order are here
in the base, so he's investigating.
**[12:03] lieu**
*The Order?*
**[12:04] stel**
Yes.
**[12:05] lieu**
* We've just received word from*
* the Hariant scouting party*
**[12:08] lieu**
*that the Soleil Army is heading for Azaria.*
**[12:12] lieu**
*A battalion, it seems.*
**[12:13] stel**
A battalion? Coming here?
**[12:16] lieu**
*Yes.*
**[12:16] lieu**
* It might be related to whatever*
* the Order is doing there.*
**[12:32] gail**
This is...
**[12:36] lil**
A food plant powered by the new chrars?
**[12:40] hu**
Just one of 'em is enough
to run a plant of that size?
**[12:43] hu**
Talk about an exponential upgrade...
**[12:45] stel**
I suspect the Royal Army is coming to
carry these provisions to the front lines.
**[12:52] Lieu**
*Chief of Staff Fleet.*
**[12:53] Lieu**
*What do you recommend?*
**[12:55] fleet**
* At the moment, we can't spare*
* the forces to engage the battalion.*
**[13:00] fleet**
*Special Ensign Gail Owens.*
**[13:03] fleet**
* Can you obtain the new chrars*
* and destroy the plant*
**[13:06] fleet**
*before the Royal Army arrives?*
**[13:10] lieu**
*What's the matter?*
**[13:11] gail**
I can.
**[13:12] gail**
But it might result in civilian casualties.
**[13:15] fleet**
*A necessary evil.*
**[13:17] fleet**
*If the food produced by that new chrars*
**[13:19] fleet**
*were to be distributed across Soleil,*
**[13:22] fleet**
* the tide of battle would*
* swiftly turn against us.*
**[13:25] fleet**
* The longer the fighting drags on,*
* the more our people will suffer.*
**[13:31] gail**
Understood.
**[13:33] fleet**
* Just in case, we're sending two*
* twelve-gun batteries your way.*
**[13:38] gail**
You mean...
**[13:40] fleet**
* If you fail, we'll bombard the plant*
* from long range and destroy it*
**[13:44] fleet**
*before the battalion arrives.*
**[13:48] fleet**
* We expect the enemy battalion to*
* arrive in roughly three hours.*
**[13:52] fleet**
* Thus, the battery will open fire*
* two hours from now, at 2300 hours.*
**[13:58] gail**
Roger that.
**[14:00] hu**
Two hours? Is she insane?
**[14:03] gail**
I'll fill you in on the plan on the way.
**[14:05] gail**
Though it's not exactly our speed...
**[14:26] stel**
Those children are all war orphans, she said.
**[14:31] gail**
I bet.
**[14:37] gail**
We're starting the infiltration now.
**[14:38] gail**
Follow the plan.
**[14:40] pie**
*Roger that.*
**[14:41] brea**
*Just leave it to us.*
**[14:44] gail**
I'll be parting ways with you for now.
**[14:46] hu**
Huh?
**[14:47] hu**
What are you talking about?
**[14:49] gail**
You guys just follow the plan.
**[14:51] gail**
Get that new chrars and blow up the plant.
**[14:54] stel**
And you, Commander?
**[14:55] gail**
I've got an errand to run.
**[14:56] gail**
You're in charge until I get back.
**[14:59] hu**
You're crazy, old man!
**[15:00] lil**
I completely agree!
**[15:03] stel**
Understood.
**[15:04] stel**
We'll carry out the mission ourselves.
**[15:06] hu**
Oh, boy...
**[15:07] lil**
Stella...
**[15:08] stel**
Let's go.
**[15:10] hu**
Freaking hell.
**[15:11] hu**
Who gave that guy command?
**[15:29] lil**
The chrars is still running,
so we need to shut it down first.
**[15:33] lil**
We'll need to use both this terminal
and the one on the installation itself.
**[15:39] stel**
Understood. I'll handle that.
**[15:41] lil**
I'm counting on you.
**[16:13] stel**
I've got one straight ahead.
**[16:15] hu**
Same.
**[16:17] stel**
Three, two, one...
**[16:32] al**
Y-You...
**[16:33] gail**
Round the others up quickly.
**[16:49] hu**
Delicious!
**[16:54] stel**
*Lily.*
**[16:55] stel**
I've got it shut down here.
**[16:58] lil**
Shut down here, too.
**[17:00] lil**
*Stella, behind you!*
**[17:02] kni**
You! What are you doing?
**[17:06] kni**
Intruders!
**[17:12] hu**
Perfect timing!
**[17:20] gail**
C'mon! Hurry up, everyone!
**[17:23] sec**
Stay where you are!
**[17:27] gail**
Let's go.
**[17:28] al**
Wait! Don't go with him!
**[17:32] al**
I knew it.
**[17:33] al**
That gun... the man who killed
my father carried the same model.
**[17:38] al**
You're a Grandiga soldier, aren't you?
**[17:42] pie**
Be extra careful, okay?
**[17:45] brea**
I am, chill out.
**[17:55] brea**
Watch it!
**[17:56] brea**
Are you people nuts?!
**[18:06] brea**
Good job, Pierce.
**[18:07] pie**
Much obliged.
**[18:09] stel**
Commander, we have the new chrars
and we've set the explosives.
**[18:14] stel**
How are things with you?
**[18:16] gail**
I'm in front of the administrative
building. I'm still on base.
**[18:20] hu**
Hey!
**[18:21] stel**
Keep following the plan!
**[18:24] gail**
I'll say this one more time.
**[18:26] gail**
When the plant underground blows up,
it'll kill everyone here.
**[18:30] al**
So don't blow it up.
**[18:32] gail**
I can't do that.
**[18:37] stel**
What are you doing?
**[18:38] stel**
Get in the truck!
**[18:39] al**
Cancel the detonation!
**[18:47] stel**
Each time you refuse, I'll kill one of them.
**[18:55] stel**
Miss...
**[19:00] al**
You...
**[19:02] stel**
They're dead either way,
so what does it matter?
**[19:19] hu**
Hey, it's time to split!
**[19:44] gail**
The Royal Army will be here soon.
**[19:47] gail**
Keep them safe.
**[19:49] al**
Don't expect us to thank you.
**[19:51] kids**
I hope you all die!
**[19:53] kids**
Murderers! Leave us alone!
**[19:55] kids**
Murderers!
**[19:56] kids**
Get away from us!
**[19:57] kids**
Murderers!
**[19:59] kids**
Go away!
**[20:01] kids**
Murderers!
**[20:02] kids**
Mama...
**[20:07] stel**
Lana.
**[20:08] stel**
I'm sorry about—
**[20:15] stel**
Give back my papa and mama.
**[20:19] stel**
My home... everything...
**[20:25] al**
Let's go.
**[20:38] gail**
This is the nature of what we're doing.
**[20:41] gail**
Yet you're certain you can fight on,
for as long as it takes?
**[20:55] gail**
You did an excellent job.
**[20:56] hu**
We were having a little talk, just now...
**[21:00] hu**
What if someone had died while
you were AWOL during the mission?
**[21:06] gail**
It's a commander's job to
trust his subordinates.
**[21:10] hu**
Oh, clever.
**[21:13] gail**
Where's Stella?
**[21:15] lil**
I'm afraid I don't know.
**[21:34] gail**
Looks like it got to you more than expected.
**[21:37] stel**
What do you mean?
**[21:39] stel**
If you mean the all-nighter,
I'm used to night missions.
**[21:44] stel**
I wonder when our next mission will be.
**[21:50] gail**
*She's gone mad.*

The report states that the plant
was completely devastated,
**[00:04] com**
and it appears the Imperial Army have stolen
the new chrars that was being tested there.
**[00:10] har**
We appreciate your efforts.
**[00:11] har**
Finish your inspection,
then return to the carrier.
**[00:14] com**
Yes, sir.
**[00:16] sen**
Things are looking very bad.
**[00:18] sen**
What are you going to do about it?
**[00:20] iza**
The issue certainly a cause for concern,
**[00:23] iza**
but it will take some time
before the Grandiga Empire
**[00:27] iza**
can use the new chrars in combat.
**[00:29] iza**
The greater threat at the moment,
is the main enemy force that sacked Lorgeth.
**[00:36] iza**
I expect them to attack
the moment they're organized.
**[00:39] iza**
We'll need to be ready to meet them.
**[00:45] iza**
I tried to make our case, but...
**[00:47] iza**
how do we oppose such materiel superiority?
**[00:51] har**
We've produced 40 new chrars
for the flagship's knights.
**[00:56] har**
They'd let us put up a decent fight,
**[00:57] har**
if Princess Yuki would
approve their installation.
**[01:03] lay**
Understood. I'll speak with her about it.
**[01:07] iza**
We'd like to speak with her
ourselves, if possible.
**[01:09] lay**
That won't be possible just yet.
**[01:12] har**
How is she?
**[01:15] lay**
She is not as distraught as she was...
**[01:19] lay**
but I believe she'll need more time yet.

I don't want to be part of this.

But just slowing their advance has

I don't want to hear it!

You didn't tell me anything
back then! Why now?!

You and Izana and Harold...

I don't want anyone else

I'll let Izana and Harold handle everything.
**[04:07] lay**
Then will you allow them
to install the new chrars?
**[04:10] yuki**
Those aren't supposed to be used for war!
**[04:14] yuki**
Putting them in theurgears is the reason...

**[05:09] lay**
are expected to meet the enemy in three days.
**[05:14] com**
This is the O'Lissetta Area Army.
***SIGN*** Western Soleil O'Lissetta Front
**[05:16] com**
We'll engage the Imperial Army shortly.
**[05:19] lune**
I hope Yuni doesn't push herself too hard...
**[05:22] lune**
She always tries to shoulder
everything herself...
***SIGN*** Eastern Soleil Diatoth Front
**[05:27] ope**
The Diatoth Area Army is engaging the enemy!
**[05:34] yuki**
Joshua...
**[05:36] yuki**
What should I do?
**[05:40] ope**
The Central Caldarth Area Army
is in a deadlock. No movement.
**[05:45] iza**
Dragging into day seven, then?
**[05:47] har**
What about O'Lissetta and Diatoth?
**[05:48] ope**
After crushing the
Imperial Army's sixth wave,
**[05:51] ope**
the O'Lissetta front has remained
locked up for 48 hours.
**[05:56] ope**
There's been no movement
on the Diatoth front for 20 hours.
**[06:00] har**
I see...
**[06:01] iza**
Harold, you can't keep
this up. You need sleep.
**[06:05] har**
I'll be fine.
**[06:06] ope**
Urgent report from the Diatoth Area!
**[06:08] ope**
The Imperial Army has ambushed them!
They're exchanging fire now!
**[06:19] mari**
Captain, a communication
from Grand Master Harold.
**[06:22] james**
Put it through.
**[06:23] har**
*James. How are things there?*
**[06:25] james**
I expect they're badly depleted by now,
**[06:29] james**
but we're faring even worse.
**[06:31] har**
*I have more bad news.*
**[06:33] har**
*The line's been breached at Diatoth.*
**[06:35] har**
*You're about to be flanked.*
**[06:38] har**
*We need to avoid that at all costs.*
**[06:40] james**
What should we do?
**[06:41] har**
You'll have to pull back to the
state border and regroup there.
**[06:47] har**
* I'm going to advise Princess Yuki*
* to abandon the State of Caldarth.*
**[06:52] har**
* I'd like you to buy time for*
* the state's civilians to evacuate.*
**[06:56] james**
What about O'Lissetta?
**[06:58] har**
*Send them the Gigarth Unit as backup.*
**[07:01] har**
* If they breach the line there, too,*
* we'll be completely out of options.*
**[07:07] iza**
Harold.
**[07:09] iza**
You're aware that, in their present condition,
**[07:10] iza**
our forces can't buy enough time
to evacuate everyone in the state.
**[07:16] har**
James knows that, too.
**[07:18] har**
But we still have to try.
**[07:21] iza**
We should install the new chrars.
**[07:24] har**
What are you—
**[07:26] iza**
I'll share the responsibility.
**[07:30] yuki**
Abandon... the State of Caldarth?
**[07:33] lay**
Our dead on the northern front
number approximately 15,000.
**[07:37] lay**
A continued struggle will
simply add to the casualties.
**[07:42] yuki**
That's awful...
**[07:43] lay**
Lord Harold and Lord Izana are doing all
they can to keep losses to a minimum.
**[07:49] yuki**
I know that!
**[07:51] yuki**
I know that, but...
**[07:55] lay**
This is a list of cities that we'll lose
if we abandon the State of Caldarth.
**[08:01] lay**
Please check them over and
grant approval, if you wish.
**[08:07] yuki**
It includes the border city, Leash?
**[08:10] lay**
Yes.
**[08:17] (Flashback) josh**
That's the city of Leash.
**[08:20] (Flashback) josh**
It's where the accident with the new
chrars took place six years ago.
**[08:24] (Flashback) yuki**
So that's where Mother and Father...
**[08:28] (Flashback) josh**
Yeah.
**[08:29] (Flashback) josh**
But to help wipe away the bad memories,
**[08:33] (Flashback) josh**
everyone in the country worked together
to build a city and a memorial there.
**[08:38] (Flashback) josh**
So the dream of the king and queen
will remain there, now and forever.
**[08:43] (Flashback) josh**
Their dream, to make everyone smile!
**[08:47] (Flashback) yuki**
To make... everyone smile?
**[08:50] (Flashback) josh**
I think you might see that
dream through some day, Yuki.
**[08:55] (Flashback) yuki**
Really?
**[08:56] (Flashback) josh**
Yeah!
**[08:57] (Flashback) josh**
And I'll be keeping you safe until you do!
**[09:03] (Flashback) yuki**
Okay!
**[09:10] yuki**
But... if I do this, it will
save a lot of people, right?
**[09:15] lay**
It will allow us to avoid a
pointless battle, at least.
**[09:21] yuki**
I understand.
**[09:23] yuki**
I approve the abandonment
of the State of Caldarth.
**[09:37] lay**
I understand.
**[09:39] lay**
Leash is important to you, Princess Yuki.
**[09:43] lay**
*And... to me, too...*
**[09:47] lay**
* Twelve years ago, scientists*
* from Soleil and Grandiga*
**[09:51] lay**
*worked together to develop the new chrars.*
**[09:55] (Flashback) king**
At last, the moment has come.
**[09:57] (Flashback) king**
The undying passion and tireless labor of
the proud scientists of Grandiga and Soleil
**[10:04] (Flashback) king**
has at last borne fruit!
**[10:07] (Flashback) king**
The birth of this new chrars
will serve as a beacon of hope
**[10:09] (Flashback) king**
to those of us living now,
**[10:11] (Flashback) king**
and to our children in the future!
**[10:17] king**
*Let us take this opportunity to deepen
the friendship between our countries,*
**[10:18] lay**
*As an analyst, I was there with my husband*
**[10:22] lay**
* to attend the ceremony and*
* witness the operations test.*
**[10:22] king**
*work together in various enterprises,*
**[10:26] king**
*and bring greater prosperity to our
world and those who live there!*
**[10:28] lay**
*It all happened so suddenly.*
**[10:38] (Flashback) mos**
Who are you?
**[10:39] (Flashback) tero**
We've planted bombs in
the hall and on the device.
**[10:43] (Flashback) tero**
I don't want to take innocent lives.
**[10:45] (Flashback) tero**
Dismantle the new chrars.
**[10:47] (Flashback) tero**
That power doesn't belong in this world!
**[11:04] (Flashback) lay**
Dear!
**[11:43] (Flashback) lay**
S... St...
**[11:59] (Flashback) doc**
Get out of the way!
**[12:01] (Flashback) doc**
We're in a hurry! Bring her in!
**[12:13] (Flashback) doc**
You're going to be all right.
**[12:16] (Flashback) doc**
She's regaining consciousness.
**[12:17] (Flashback) doc**
Pulse rate 50. Blood pressure 95 over 65.
**[12:20] (Flashback) doc**
No sign of cyanosis. Breathing is stable.
**[12:22] (Flashback) doc**
PVR has risen to normal levels.
**[12:25] (Flashback) doc**
Princess Yuki!
**[12:26] (Flashback) doc**
Don't worry. The princess is unharmed.
**[12:38] lay**
*I awoke one month later.*
**[12:42] lay**
*While I was in a coma,*
**[12:45] lay**
* the Kingdom of Soleil had censured*
* the Empire of Grandiga with a claim*
**[12:48] lay**
* that the king's death was the result of*
* the Imperial Army's reckless behavior.*
**[12:54] lay**
* Diplomatic relations between the*
* countries were severed as a result.*
**[12:58] (Flashback) iza**
Ms. Étoile.
**[13:01] (Flashback) iza**
We've accounted for everyone
who returned safely.
**[13:04] (Flashback) iza**
This is the list of those presumed dead.
**[13:19] lay**
*And so, I lost my family, my home...*
**[13:25] lay**
*everything.*
**[13:35] (Flashback) iza**
How are you feeling?
**[13:38] (Flashback) lay**
Better...
**[13:39] (Flashback) iza**
I invited you here to thank you, Ms. Étoile.
**[13:48] (Flashback) iza**
Do you remember her?
**[13:50] (Flashback) lay**
That girl...
**[13:52] (Flashback) iza**
That is the daughter of the late
royal couple, Princess Yuki Soleil.
**[13:59] (Flashback) lay**
Princess... Yuki...
**[14:01] (Flashback) iza**
If you hadn't protected her,
she would be dead now.
**[14:11] (Flashback) josh**
C'mon, Princess Yuki! Bleh!
**[14:16] (Flashback) josh**
Princess Yuki! Princess Yuki!
**[14:18] (Flashback) iza**
No one knows what to do
when she gets like this.
**[14:59] lay**
* From that day forward,*
* I would serve Princess Yuki.*
**[15:10] yuki**
Miss Layla...
**[15:11] lay**
Princess Yuki, I request that you change.
**[15:18] yuki**
Hey, Miss Layla...
**[15:20] lay**
Yes?
**[15:21] yuki**
Did you know that Joshua and I used
to sneak out together like this?
**[15:27] lay**
Did you truly think that I wouldn't notice?
**[15:36] yuki**
I wonder what Father and
Mother would think...
**[15:40] yuki**
if they heard about the State of Caldarth.
**[15:43] lay**
You chose the lives of your people
over your personal feelings.
**[15:48] lay**
I'm sure they would be proud.
**[15:53] lay**
I feel the same way.
**[15:56] yuki**
Really?
**[15:57] lay**
Yes. You are a worthy princess of Soleil.
**[16:03] yuki**
That's right...
**[16:05] yuki**
I am the princess, aren't I?
**[16:08] yuki**
Thank you, Miss Layla.
**[16:15] ope**
The evacuation of the state
is almost complete.
**[16:18] ope**
Leash is the last location left.
**[16:20] ope**
Evacuation should be complete by 1100 hours.
**[16:23] ope**
Good.
**[16:25] iza**
Princess Yuki!
**[16:30] yuki**
As princess, I thought
I should see this for myself...
**[16:40] har**
Princess Yuki, about Joshua...
**[16:44] yuki**
I understand why you did it.
**[16:48] har**
I cannot apologize enough.
**[16:52] yuki**
How are the evacuations coming along?
**[16:54] har**
Right. It's all proceeding smoothly.
**[16:58] yuki**
I see...
**[17:00] ope**
The evacuation of Leash is complete!
**[17:03] har**
Put us through to the Excessarca!
**[17:05] ope**
Yes, sir.
**[17:07] har**
James, you've bought us the time we needed.
**[17:10] har**
Pull the line back now.
**[17:12] james**
*Yes, sir.*
**[17:13] james**
* We'll join up with the evacuation*
* forces and build a defense line.*
**[17:18] ope**
Theurgears with minor damage: 358.
**[17:21] ope**
Moderate damage: 126.
**[17:23] ope**
Major damage: zero.
**[17:24] ope**
Those mounted with the new chrars
are all in good condition.
**[17:28] yuki**
The new chrars?
**[17:31] har**
Please, forgive me.
**[17:34] har**
I installed the new chrars
without your permission.
**[17:38] yuki**
Why?!
**[17:40] har**
To hold the enemy back until
evacuations were complete,
**[17:45] har**
our forces needed the
power of the new chrars.
**[17:49] iza**
I'm the one who recommended it.
**[17:51] iza**
I'll accept any punishment
you feel appropriate.
**[18:00] yuki**
It was the new chrars that allowed
everyone evacuate safely...
**[18:06] yuki**
Is that correct?
**[18:08] har**
Yes.
**[18:08] iza**
That much is indisputable.
**[18:13] yuki**
Very well.
**[18:15] yuki**
But from now on, you are
to report everything to me.
**[18:18] both**
Yes, ma'am.
**[18:20] ope**
Urgent message from the recon unit in Leash!
**[18:31] har**
What's going on here?
**[18:33] leader**
We're not giving our city up without a fight!
**[18:36] leader**
This is where our families
died wishing for peace!
**[18:41] yuki**
Harold, we need to save those people!
**[18:44] har**
The Imperial Army is right on top of them.
**[18:47] har**
If we fight now, they'll all—
**[18:48] yuki**
I don't want you to fight!
**[18:50] yuki**
I want you to *save them*!
**[18:53] yuki**
You said you used the new chrars to
keep anyone else from dying, right?
**[18:59] yuki**
I don't want anyone else to die!
**[19:01] yuki**
Please!
**[19:05] har**
Larva Unit! Head back to Leash!
Pick up those civilians!
**[19:17] lead**
Kingdom of Soleil, be eternal!
**[19:27] yuki**
We made it!
**[19:28] har**
Get them in! Hurry!
**[19:32] ope**
Imperial theurgears approaching!
**[19:34] ope**
I estimate twenty!
**[19:39] ope**
We have the civilians!
**[19:41] har**
Get out of there right now!
**[19:42] yuki**
Hurry!
**[20:02] ope**
Two Larva Unit machines have
sustained major damage!
**[20:05] ope**
More imperial theurgears are coming!
**[20:17] ope**
Grand Master Harold! Captain James
requests permission to engage!
**[20:21] har**
No! I won't permit it!
**[20:23] yuki**
Why not, Harold?!
**[20:25] har**
If we send reinforcements now,
it will only exacerbate our losses!
**[20:29] har**
We can't afford to lose the Excessarca, too!
**[20:31] yuki**
But if we don't...
**[20:34] yuki**
Harold! Please!
**[20:38] yuki**
Please, get away!
**[21:09] yuki**
Why...
**[21:12] har**
This is the nature of war.
**[21:19] yuki**
I just... I just wanted...
**[23:06] comm**
*Site to command. Site to command.*
**[23:09] comm**
*This is the O'Lissetta Area Army.*
**[23:11] comm**
*Our defensive line has been breached!*
**[23:13] comm**
*I repeat: Our defensive line has been breached!*
**[23:17] comm**
* The Imperial Army is advancing toward*

**[00:29] break**
Damn.
**[00:31] break**
I wish they'd quit pounding down on us already.
**[00:34] break**
How's a man supposed to enjoy a meal?
**[00:36] lily**
We're hardly in any position to complain,
**[00:39] lily**
compared to the ones on the front lines...
**[00:45] huey**
We're at a serious positional
disadvantage here.
**[00:48] pierce**
There's more to it than that.
**[00:50] pierce**
Their firing range is incredible, too.
**[00:53] stel**
Is it the new chrars, do you think?
**[00:56] gail**
Likely.
**[00:57] gail**
They're probably mounted on
all the Order's theurgears.
**[01:09] lily**
Is that the power of the new chrars?
**[01:12] break**
You think they're installing one
every new model they make?
**[01:16] huey**
Just goes to show how desperate they are.
**[01:19] huey**
This is a critical point for them, after all.
**[01:22] gail**
It is for us, too.
**[01:24] gail**
If we break through here,
we'll be able to rush their capital.
**[01:30] gail**
All right, get in position.
**[01:32] gail**
Our turn's up.
**[01:38] gail**
Roger that.
**[01:39] gail**
I take it back.
**[01:41] gail**
We'll be waiting a little longer.
**[01:42] gail**
They've changed the plan, I'd wager.
**[01:44] lily**
The plan?
**[01:46] gail**
The stalemate's gone on too long.
**[01:48] gail**
Someone's out of patience.
**[01:52] gail**
Chief of Staff Fleet has arrived.

**[03:29] eine**
In order to break out of
our current deadlock,
**[03:32] eine**
we'll run a flying column operation.
**[03:35] eine**
We're sure that the enemy's encamped in
a city on this tongue-shaped plateau,
**[03:40] eine**
but from our position below,
we can't confirm their precise location.
**[03:45] eine**
However...
**[03:47] eine**
A recon unit made it behind their camp
through the forest to their south.
**[03:52] eine**
They took this photograph.
**[03:55] eine**
The bridge here hasn't been collapsed.
**[03:58] eine**
The flying column will cross that bridge
to strike their camp from the rear.
**[04:01] eine**
It will consist of...
**[04:04] com**
Hirsch Squad.
**[04:06] lead**
Sir!
**[04:07] com**
Schaff Squad.
**[04:08] lead**
Sir!
**[04:09] com**
And Buerger Squad.
**[04:11] gail**
Sir!
**[04:16] guy**
Huey!
**[04:17] guy**
That you, Huey?
**[04:19] guy**
Stella! And Lily!
**[04:21] lil**
Hey! Long time no see!
**[04:23] break**
Friends of yours?
**[04:24] huey**
We were stationed together in
our early days, that's all.
**[04:28] eu**
Hey, don't be like that.
**[04:30] eu**
We really looked out for you guys!
**[04:32] huey**
Yeah, you taught us a few things,
that's for sure!
**[04:35] guy**
I see you've made yourselves
a bit useful, at least.
**[04:38] guy**
I was worried, at first,
all you greenhorns together...
**[04:43] guy**
I see you haven't changed a bit, though.
**[04:45] guy**
You always were smiling like
nothing could scare you.
**[04:50] stel**
Are you here for our next mission?
**[04:52] guy**
Yeah, we're in the Hirsch Squad right now.
**[04:55] eu**
The fighting's about to get serious, they say.
**[04:57] eu**
Even more than now, that is.
**[04:58] eu**
Well, see you around. Try not to die.
**[05:00] huey**
No worries about that.
**[05:02] huey**
If there's one thing I've got,
it's stupid good luck.
**[05:04] eu**
You're still such a brat.
**[05:11] break**
They really put you through
the wringer back then, huh?
**[05:13] lily**
They did a lot to show
us the ropes, actually.
**[05:16] lily**
They just like to talk nasty.
**[05:17] huey**
Look nasty, too.
**[05:20] gail**
Is everyone here?
**[05:22] gail**
Get inside. I'll explain the plan.
**[05:25] gail**
Under cover of night, we'll circle
around this way, heading south.
**[05:30] gail**
Once we pass the tributary on
our right, we'll head west.
**[05:32] gail**
The bridge will be just ahead.
**[05:35] gail**
Our squad will be the vanguard.
**[05:38] pierce**
What if we're sighted before
we reach our target?
**[05:41] gail**
That's already been taken into account.
**[05:43] gail**
If we're seen, we can still be
useful by creating a diversion.
**[05:47] break**
"Play the good little decoy," eh?
**[05:50] stel**
If you don't like the idea, do your
best to make sure we aren't seen.
**[05:53] gail**
What she said, more or less.
**[05:56] gail**
From the bridge, we'll pass through the forest
and confirm the enemy camp's location.
**[06:00] gail**
If we succeed, we'll contact
the main force with a flare.
**[06:02] gail**
Once the shelling begins, we'll rush them
from behind to throw them off balance
**[06:05] gail**
while our main force pours into their camp.
**[06:09] huey**
You really think it'll be that easy?
**[06:12] huey**
They'll have sentries all over that forest.
**[06:14] gail**
The concentration of forces on the front line
**[06:17] gail**
suggests their rear guard
will be undermanned.
**[06:20] gail**
The plan's a lot of wishful thinking.
**[06:24] gail**
We'll kick this off at 0100 hours.
**[06:26] gail**
We'll be navigating a forest at night.
Take care that you don't get separated.
**[06:30] huey**
I'm sure we'll be fine.
**[06:32] huey**
As long as no one decides
to run off on his own...
**[06:35] gail**
No need to worry about that.
**[06:38] gail**
This isn't some cushy operation
I can trust you to handle without me.
**[06:43] gail**
Take those words to heart.
**[06:49] huey**
Still can't stand that guy.
**[06:51] break**
We still don't know why
he joined our squad, either.
**[06:55] pierce**
I think... it might have been for money.
**[06:57] lily**
For money?
**[06:59] pierce**
I saw him make a money
transfer back at camp earlier.
**[07:02] pierce**
I was right nearby.
**[07:04] huey**
That's not so weird.
He's probably got family.
**[07:08] break**
Or a girlfriend.
**[07:10] pierce**
But it was quite a significant amount.
**[07:12] pierce**
Even the accountant ended up
asking who it was for.
**[07:16] lily**
What did he say in response?
**[07:19] pierce**
He said...
**[07:20] pierce**
"I have a battalion's worth of little
birds waiting for their feed."
**[07:26] break**
What the hell does that mean?
**[07:27] huey**
It means he's got a lot of stamina,
if you get what I'm saying.
**[07:30] lily**
Yeah, yeah...
**[07:30] break**
It must be really something, huh?
**[07:33] huey**
What?
**[07:33] break**
You know what.
**[07:36] huey**
Hey, Lily, hey!
**[07:38] huey**
You get what he meant?
**[07:55] pierce**
*The tributary's in view on the right.*
**[07:57] gail**
We'll go straight for two more klicks,
**[08:00] gail**
then cross the river and start heading west.
**[08:13] gail**
Once we're over this hill,
the bridge should be in sight.
**[08:19] pierce**
What is it?
**[08:21] gail**
Signal the squads behind us to stop.
**[08:24] gail**
You see that?
**[08:26] pierce**
A... theurgear?
**[08:29] break**
Looks like scrap to me.
**[08:31] gail**
It's a makeshift pillbox.
**[08:33] gail**
They're hidden inside, keeping watch.
**[08:36] huey**
Should we blast 'em?
**[08:37] gail**
Make it fast and thorough.
**[08:38] gail**
Don't let them report back.
**[08:40] gail**
Any other theurgears around?
**[08:42] stel**
None.
**[08:57] lily**
Right, 12 degrees.
**[08:59] lily**
Range, 203.
**[09:01] lily**
Angle of elevation, 17... no, 18 degrees.
**[09:05] huey**
*Okay, I'm on it. Come on back.*
**[09:29] huey**
Okay, let's head back.
**[09:32] lily**
Roger that!
**[09:40] huey**
Lily!
**[09:56] lily**
Ow!
**[10:00] gail**
Is it the leg?
**[10:01] stel**
It doesn't appear to be broken, but...
**[10:04] huey**
Well, count yourself lucky.
**[10:06] huey**
It would've been worse if my
theurgear hadn't soaked the blast.
**[10:08] lily**
You call this lucky?!
**[10:10] lily**
If you hadn't sprung their trap,
this wouldn't haveー
**[10:13] lily**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[10:15] break**
Well, it's clear you're a
lucky bastard, at least.
**[10:18] break**
You'd have eaten a direct hit
if you hadn't slipped first.
**[10:20] ---**
That again?
**[10:22] break**
But this looks pretty bad, doesn't it?
**[10:25] lily**
I'm fine.
**[10:27] lily**
I've trained for...
**[10:29] stel**
Were either of the other
squads assigned a medic?
**[10:31] gail**
Neither of them.
**[10:33] gail**
We're supposed to focus on moving forward.
**[10:36] break**
There should be a support truck, at least.
**[10:39] break**
They could pick her up...
**[10:40] lily**
Wait!
**[10:41] lily**
I can still fight.
**[10:44] gail**
Don't push it.
**[10:45] lily**
Really! I'll be fine!
**[10:47] lily**
Right, Stella?
**[10:49] stel**
The truck will be here soon.
**[10:58] lily**
Stella?
**[11:00] break**
Guess she doesn't want you holding us back.
**[11:02] lily**
That's mean!
**[11:04] lily**
I can still fight, really!
**[11:06] huey**
Sounds fine to me.
**[11:08] huey**
If she says she can do it...
**[11:12] huey**
And we can always replace you if you die.
**[11:14] lily**
Hey!
**[11:15] lily**
You're such a jerk! Ow...
**[11:15] huey**
Hey, now!
**[11:18] gail**
All right.
**[11:20] gail**
Go on, we'll catch up.
**[11:33] lily**
Um... thank you.
**[11:38] lily**
I'm sorry for the trouble.
**[11:44] lily**
So... you know medical stuff, huh?
**[11:47] gail**
I've looked after my share
of injury-prone types.
**[11:51] lily**
I guess you would.
On battlefields and such...
**[11:55] gail**
More or less.
**[11:57] lily**
Um... why did you join our squad?
**[12:01] gail**
How long has it been?
**[12:03] gail**
Since you joined this squad.
**[12:06] lily**
Two years now.
**[12:09] lily**
Stella and I are the only ones
who've been here from the start.
**[12:12] lily**
Huey transferred from
another squad soon after,
**[12:16] lily**
but he was just as green as we were.
**[12:19] lily**
We received a lot of mockery and ridicule.
**[12:24] gail**
Did the others all die in battle?
**[12:27] lily**
Yes...
**[12:28] lily**
We went through a couple of replacements
**[12:30] lily**
before Warrant Officers
Break and Pierce joined.
**[12:34] gail**
I see.
**[12:36] lily**
But... I'm really surprised
I've lasted this long.
**[12:40] lily**
I owe it all to Stella.
**[12:42] gail**
You seem to place a lot of trust in her.
**[12:46] lily**
I do.
**[12:48] lily**
She's saved me time and time again.
**[12:51] lily**
Remember when that borderland
unit started a coup d'etat?
**[12:57] lily**
Putting them down was harder
than anyone expected.
**[13:01] lily**
They'd dug in deep with
an all-out resistance.
**[13:04] lily**
In the end, both sides ran out of ammo,
**[13:07] lily**
and we had to fight hand-to-hand...
**[13:16] lily**
By that point, I was losing
my will to fight back...
**[13:27] (Flashback) stel**
Lily!
**[13:29] lil**
Stella had run out of ammo, too.
**[13:31] lil**
She had just one option left...
**[13:43] lil**
It really surprised me.
**[13:46] lil**
That calm and cool Stella
charged right into danger...
**[13:50] lil**
All to save me.
**[13:54] gail**
She's always been that way, then?
**[13:57] lily**
What way?
**[13:58] gail**
I just can't get a handle on her.
**[14:00] gail**
She's always smiling that artificial smile...
**[14:06] gail**
Have you ever seen one from her?
A genuine, heartfelt smile?
**[14:14] lily**
Good question...
**[14:18] gail**
What is it?
**[14:19] stel**
*We've made it to the bridge.*
**[14:22] stel**
* We'll wait here for the*
* other squads to arrive.*
**[14:25] gail**
Understood. I'm on my way now.
**[14:27] gail**
I'll leave it up to you.
**[14:29] gail**
If you don't think you'll
hold us back, come along.
**[14:33] lily**
Yes, sir.
**[14:34] lily**
W-Wait...
**[14:37] lily**
Well... I feel like I said
more than I meant to.
**[14:42] lily**
You're a good listener, Commander.
**[14:45] gail**
I'm used to dealing with kids, that's all.
**[14:47] lily**
Kids?
**[15:03] gail**
We'll push through the forest as a group,
rushing our target from behind.
**[15:08] lap**
I expect to find at least a
few sentries in the forest.
**[15:13] lap**
If we end up in a firefight,
the priority is for at least one squad...
**[15:17] lap**
at least one machine to reach the target.
**[15:20] lap**
That's all.
**[15:49] lav**
Petty Officer Fourier!
**[15:51] gail**
Spread out!
**[15:57] lav**
Our squad will draw fire.
**[15:58] lav**
You keep going!
**[16:00] gail**
Roger that! Thanks!
**[16:01] lav**
I'll head for the Order model!
**[16:03] lav**
Aja, Upton, follow me!
**[16:04] lav**
Guy, Eugen, stay here!
**[16:06] all**
Roger that!
**[16:11] pier**
There's more ahead!
**[16:13] gail**
*We'll handle them! Come on!*
**[16:15] all**
Roger that!
**[16:16] gail**
Keep going, Craighton!
**[16:17] clay**
Roger!
**[16:22] eu**
Got one!
**[16:23] guy**
*Same here! But...*
**[16:25] eu**
What's wrong?
**[16:27] guy**
*I've lost contact with our allies!*
**[16:28] eu**
What?
**[16:30] eu**
That one again...
**[16:45] huey**
Hurry it up, Pierce!
**[16:50] huey**
Okay, that's two down!
**[16:53] guy**
*Buerger... Squad...*
**[16:55] guy**
*Buerger Squad, do you read me?*
**[16:57] huey**
That you, Guy?
**[16:59] guy**
*Eugen's down.*
**[17:01] guy**
*The rest of us were disabled...*
**[17:03] guy**
*by this one damned machine!*
**[17:05] huey**
He's down?
**[17:06] huey**
Wait, are you telling me Eugen's dead?!
**[17:08] gail**
Keep going!
**[17:09] gail**
Huey, Break, Pierce!
**[17:11] gail**
Don't worry about me!
**[17:18] break**
More reinforcements?!
**[17:20] break**
Huey, go on ahead!
**[17:21] huey**
Roger that!
**[17:28] huey**
Guy!
**[17:30] guy**
Huey...
**[17:31] huey**
Is that the one?!
**[17:32] guy**
Be... careful.
**[17:34] guy**
That thing's... fast!
**[17:47] huey**
D-Damn it!
**[18:19] lily**
Stella!
**[18:34] stel**
*Lily!*
**[18:44] lily**
You won't hit me with wild fire like that!
**[19:04] lily**
It's broken?!
**[19:11] lily**
Take this!
**[19:24] gail**
*Don't move, Lily!*
**[19:34] gail**
Enough.
**[19:35] gail**
Don't bother chasing it.
**[19:41] stel**
Thank you, Lily.
**[19:43] lily**
*I didn't manage to take it out, though.*
**[19:46] lily**
The way you did back then...
**[19:49] stel**
*"Back then"?*
**[19:51] lily**
Never mind.
**[19:54] huey**
*Looks like you're totally grounded this time.*
**[19:57] lily**
You looked way worse than I did.
**[19:59] huey**
*Shut up!*
**[20:01] huey**
Any left?
**[20:02] gail**
We cleared them up.
**[20:04] gail**
But the Hirsch Squad took
major damage all around.
**[20:07] gail**
They lost a member, too.
**[20:09] huey**
Figures.
**[20:11] huey**
Stuck-up bastard, telling *me* not to die...
**[20:17] huey**
But what can you do but laugh?
It happens over and over...
**[20:27] pierce**
The flare!
**[20:29] gail**
Looks like the Schaff Squad found their base.
**[20:34] break**
They'll begin the main
assault soon. Let's go.
**[20:37] gail**
Lily, you'll wait for the
support truck this time, right?
**[20:41] lily**
Yes, sir.
**[20:44] gail**
Your boosters are out, too.
Can you still fight?
**[20:47] huey**
You bet.
**[20:48] huey**
Walking or crawling, I'll be there.
**[20:51] lily**
Hey, no worries.
**[20:52] lily**
We can always replace you if you die!
**[20:56] huey**
Telling someone that just improves
their survival odds, y'know.
**[21:01] gail**
Okay, we'll attack the enemy from
behind to throw them off balance.
**[21:05] gail**
Let's go!
**[21:06] all**
*Roger that!*
**[21:15] lily**
*Back then...*
**[21:18] (Flashback) stel**
Lily!
**[21:25] (Flashback) stel**
Lily!
**[21:30] (Flashback) stel**
Lily!
**[21:43] lily**
*I think that I saw it.*
**[21:46] lily**
*Stella's genuine, heartfelt smile...*

**[00:09] lune**
Yuni!
**[00:10] lune**
Thank goodness! You're finally awake!
**[00:14] yuni**
Hey...
**[00:18] lune**
You shouldn't be moving yet.
**[00:20] lune**
Your wound will open.
**[00:21] yuni**
This is... the Excessarca's infirmary?
**[00:26] yuni**
I can't be here... I need to
get back to the front lines!
**[00:29] lune**
Calm down. The battle's over.
**[00:31] lune**
We're mustering our remaining forces
and falling back to Hariant.
**[00:37] yuni**
Then the defense line on the River Deese...
**[00:41] lune**
Yeah...
**[00:42] lune**
There was a full day of fighting,
and the Imperial Army broke through.
**[00:48] lune**
I don't like it either,
**[00:51] lune**
but you should focus on
your recovery for now.
**[00:55] yuni**
Lune...
**[00:57] lune**
We'll have one last showdown in Hariant.
**[01:00] lune**
C'mon... let's show them
our passion and will.

**[02:42] yuki**
*People of Hariant.*
**[02:44] yuki**
* Please follow the instructions*
* given to you calmly but quickly.*
**[02:48] yuki**
* The Kingdom will bring you all*
* safely to the evacuation site.*
**[02:53] yuki**
* We will overcome this hardship,*
* and smile together again some day.*
**[02:58] yuki**
* I, Yuki Soleil, believe this*

**[03:02] yuki**
* Everyone, please prioritize your*
* safety over everything else.*
**[03:07] yuki**
*I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts.*
**[03:11] iza**
Princess Yuki... she volunteered
for that painful duty.
**[03:16] har**
But it was worth it.
**[03:17] har**
There has been no panic among
the citizens as a result.
**[03:21] iza**
Will the war finally come
to our city of Hariant?
**[03:26] har**
How's Elisa? Has she left
the city with Noel yet?
**[03:30] iza**
No...
**[03:32] lay**
You did well.
**[03:33] lay**
You should leave things to the others
now, and go rest in your room.
**[03:37] yuki**
Miss Layla... is there really
no way to avoid more fighting?
**[03:42] lay**
I'm afraid not.
**[03:45] yuki**
What if I surrender, and turn
myself over to the Empire?
**[03:49] lay**
The people do not wish to sacrifice you.
**[03:54] lay**
And it will be all the more torturous for
them if we're occupied by the Empire.
**[04:00] yuki**
Then, you're saying there's
nothing else I can do?
**[04:07] yuki**
It was the same back then... in Leash.
**[04:12] yuki**
I just wanted to save the
people left in the city...
**[04:16] yuki**
But I couldn't do anything... except watch...
**[04:20] yuki**
What am I... as princess...
**[04:37] noel**
Papa!
**[04:39] iza**
Noel! You really came?
**[04:41] noel**
Yeah! I kept Mama and the baby safe!
**[04:45] iza**
I see, thank you.
That's very brave of you.
**[04:52] iza**
Please reconsider.
There's still time to evacuate!
**[04:55] iza**
For the sake of our unborn child...
**[04:56] eli**
Yeah, yeah. Here, a change of clothes.
**[05:01] iza**
Elisa...
**[05:02] eli**
There's no way we could run
off and leave you here.
**[05:05] eli**
If you're staying and fighting,
I want to be here to support you.
**[05:11] eli**
The others' families all feel the same way.
**[05:15] iza**
But...
**[05:22] noel**
Princess Yuki!
**[05:24] yu**
Noel! What are you...
**[05:26] yu**
Who are these people?
**[05:28] eli**
It's been some time, Princess Yuki.
**[05:30] eli**
I'm afraid we'll be imposing on you for a bit.
**[05:34] iza**
Elisa, this discussion isn't over! Elisa!
**[05:37] noel**
Princess Yuki! Where's Joshua?
**[05:41] noel**
Hey, where's Joshua? I wanna play with him!
**[05:46] yuki**
Joshua... is far away right now. For work.
**[05:50] noel**
Aw...
**[05:52] yuki**
Come on. Let's look at the flowers.
**[06:02] noel**
So pretty!
**[06:04] noel**
Huh? Are those flowers, too?
**[06:06] noel**
They look all droopy....
**[06:07] yuki**
They're called sunflowers.
**[06:09] yuki**
They come from the our ancestors' homeworld,
**[06:12] yuki**
but they're very hard to grow...
**[06:15] noel**
Let's water them! I'll go get some!
**[06:21] yuki**
Noel!
**[06:24] yuki**
It's... It's dangerous here.
**[06:28] yuki**
I want you and your mother to go away.
**[06:32] yuki**
Please.
**[06:34] noel**
Why do we have to go away?
**[06:36] noel**
We haven't done anything wrong.
**[06:40] yuki**
Well...
**[06:42] noel**
C'mon, tell me!
**[06:43] noel**
Princess Yuki, you're in charge
of the whole country, right?
**[06:46] noel**
I bet you know everything!
**[06:49] yuki**
No... I don't.
**[06:55] yuki**
*I'm like these flowers.*
**[06:59] yuki**
* Raised inside a cage,*
* sheltered and cared for...*
**[07:03] yuki**
*That's why I didn't know...*
**[07:06] yuki**
*what was really going on...*
**[07:09] yuki**
*But...*
**[07:12] yuki**
I can't stay like this.
**[07:15] noel**
Princess Yuki?
**[07:22] james**
The Kingdom's last line of defense
**[07:24] james**
will be 15 kilometers north of Hariant,
on the Bram Plateau.
**[07:28] james**
We're down to 20% of our original forces.
**[07:31] james**
Only two platoons of theurgears
equipped with the new chrars remain.
**[07:36] iza**
What's their speed of approach?
**[07:38] ope**
They're within 100 kilometers of Hariant.
**[07:41] ope**
They'll reach our line around daybreak.
**[07:42] har**
They number 50,000 in total.
**[07:46] har**
And I'm sure Chief of Staff Eine Fleet
is commanding them personally.
**[07:50] har**
Prepare one of the new chrars.
**[07:52] har**
I'm going to join the front lines.
**[07:54] iza**
Harold, you...
**[07:56] james**
*The old ace going back into action, eh?*
**[07:58] james**
*That should boost the troops' morale.*
**[08:01] james**
*But are you sure you can handle it?*
**[08:04] har**
Of course I can.
**[08:05] har**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[08:07] james**
*Heh... very well.*
**[08:08] james**
*I'll prepare you a Gard, then.*
**[08:21] lay**
Your daughter is in Princess Yuki's room.
**[08:24] lay**
You should take some time to rest, as well.
**[08:26] eli**
All right. I think I shall.
**[08:31] lay**
Elisa?
**[08:34] eli**
Yes?
**[08:35] lay**
Take care of your daughter.
**[08:38] lay**
If there's anything that I can do,
don't hesitate to let me know.
**[08:42] eli**
I appreciate it greatly.
**[08:44] eli**
Now, eat up, before it gets cold.
**[08:52] lay**
Elisa prepared dinner for us. Shall we?
**[08:57] yuki**
Sure!
**[09:00] yuki**
Hey, Miss Layla.
**[09:02] yuki**
The Empire started the war because
they wanted the new chrars, right?
**[09:08] lay**
That is one of the reasons, yes.
**[09:11] yuki**
My parents were trying to make the
new chrars to help everyone...
**[09:17] yuki**
I think they really meant it, too.
**[09:19] yuki**
But now...
**[09:23] yuki**
So many people have died
because of the chrars.
**[09:27] yuki**
Why? Was it bad to make the chrars?
**[09:31] lay**
One of the most basic causes of war
**[09:33] lay**
is the struggle for wealth and resources.
**[09:37] lay**
This time, it simply happens to be the chrars.
**[09:41] yuki**
But...
**[09:42] lay**
The energy that the chrars provide is
the foundation of our civilization.
**[09:46] lay**
Their application would inevitably extend beyond
peaceful purposes to weapons of war.
**[09:51] lay**
Regrettable as it may be.
**[09:54] yuki**
Then...
**[09:56] yuki**
Then I'm going to use those
weapons to stop the fighting.
**[10:01] yuki**
I'm tired of watching, silent and powerless!
**[10:06] lay**
Princess Yuki...
**[10:11] har**
Did the princess...
**[10:13] iza**
Yes.
**[10:14] iza**
I hear she's visited Joshua's
grave every day without fail.
**[10:27] har**
Adelle.
**[10:30] har**
I'm sorry.
**[10:33] har**
I'm going to give you reason
to grieve once again.
**[10:37] iza**
I'll ask, just to be sure.
**[10:40] iza**
You aren't doing this just
for revenge, are you?
**[10:47] iza**
If the Empire hadn't resorted to
force of arms twelve years ago...
**[11:05] iza**
If you're just going back into
battle to avenge her, then...
**[11:10] har**
I can't deny it.
**[11:12] har**
That is part of it.
**[11:14] har**
But my desire to protect Princess Yuki—
to protect the Kingdom—is genuine.
**[11:20] iza**
Very well.
**[11:22] iza**
Give it your best.
**[11:29] ope**
Communication from the enemy Chief of Staff.
**[11:31] aine**
*I'll ask you one more time:*
**[11:33] aine**
*Advisor Langford,*
**[11:35] aine**
*do you have no intent to surrender?*
**[11:37] iza**
Certainly not.
**[11:39] iza**
There is nothing more to discuss.
**[11:41] aine**
*Very well. So noted.*
**[11:47] aine**
* Sovereign of the Kingdom*
* of Soleil, Princess Yuki.*
**[11:50] aine**
* I am commander of the Imperial Army,*
* Chief of Staff Eine Fleet.*
**[11:55] yuki**
A pleasure to meet you.
**[11:57] aine**
*I'd heard you turned twelve years old, and...*
**[12:00] aine**
*Indeed, you've grown quite pretty.*
**[12:02] aine**
* You must have been raised in*
* a truly loving environment.*
**[12:07] aine**
*But that ends here today.*
**[12:09] aine**
* Sit there in your ivory tower*
* and watch your kingdom fall.*
**[12:14] har**
Here we go! Follow me!
**[12:17] all**
Yes, sir!
**[12:18] yuki**
That voice... was that Harold?
**[12:20] iza**
Yes.
**[12:21] iza**
He volunteered to lead the charge personally.
**[12:24] yuki**
I've never seen Harold fight
in a theurgear before...
**[12:31] ope**
Approximately 1,200 in their vanguard.
**[12:33] ope**
Their main force is right behind.
**[12:34] ope**
Total number... incalculable!
**[12:37] iza**
There are two elements to our defense line.
**[12:42] iza**
First, the front line minefield
will winnow their numbers.
**[12:48] iza**
Those that break through...
**[12:51] iza**
will be met by Harold and
the rest of the vanguard.
**[12:54] har**
Engage hand-to-hand combat!
**[13:10] har**
Those that break through will
enter the rear minefield,
**[13:14] har**
where a firing squad will pick them off.
**[13:19] yuki**
Wait!
**[13:20] yuki**
Does that mean Harold and the others
will be trapped between the minefields...
**[13:23] iza**
Yes, and unable to retreat.
**[13:25] iza**
It is a suicide mission.
**[13:32] ian**
Half of the front line
mines have been detonated.
**[13:34] ian**
There are just too many of them!
**[13:36] james**
Adjust the range of our cannons.
**[13:38] james**
Angle of elevation, minus three degrees.
**[13:40] james**
Relay the same to the Krivanovs.
**[13:42] niko**
But at that angle, we risk hitting our allies, too!
**[13:46] james**
They'll just have to be skilled
enough not to get hit.
**[13:57] yuki**
It never ends!
**[14:01] lune**
Yuni!
**[14:07] lune**
Grand Master Harold!
**[14:09] har**
Keep each other safe,
**[14:10] har**
if you don't want any regrets.
**[14:15] har**
Here they come.
**[14:17] har**
I won't let you people...
**[14:20] har**
take anything precious to me...
**[14:24] har**
ever again!
**[14:47] lay**
You mustn't avert your gaze.
**[14:49] lay**
This is our reality.
**[14:51] lay**
You said that you wanted to
stop the fighting, didn't you?
**[14:54] lay**
Then think, with all your might...
**[14:57] lay**
If you can't do that,
you will remain powerless.
**[15:24] har**
You crafty little...!
**[15:39] har**
I admire your spirit, if nothing else.
**[15:44] yuki**
Harold, no!
**[15:48] har**
I admire your spirit, if nothing else.
**[15:52] har**
Damn you!
**[16:00] yuki**
That pilot went to help her comrade...
**[16:04] lay**
The enemy are human, too.
**[16:06] lay**
It's no surprise, is it?
**[16:14] yuki**
*This is wrong.*
**[16:17] yuki**
*But what can I...*
**[16:20] (Flashback) josh**
Don't give up!
**[16:22] (Flashback) josh**
With passion and will,
there's nothing you can't do!
**[16:37] yuki**
It's possible...
**[16:39] yuki**
How many of the mines do we have left?
**[16:43] ope**
20% on the front line. 50% in the rear.
**[16:46] yuki**
It just might work...
**[16:49] yuki**
Izana, do we have the
data on the Bram Plateau?
**[16:55] lune**
Yuni!
**[16:56] yuni**
It's all right... I'm not finished yet.
**[16:59] yuni**
Here I go!
**[17:01] yuki**
*Attention, all theurgears!*
**[17:03] yuki**
*I've disabled all the mines!*
**[17:05] yuki**
*Retreat to our camp behind the minefield!*
**[17:08] yuki**
*This is an order from your princess!*
**[17:09] har**
Princess Yuki... What are you...
**[17:12] yuki**
*Notify the enemy army, too!*
**[17:14] yuki**
* Hurry! I don't want any*
* more of them to die, either!*
**[17:28] yuki**
All mines... detonate!
**[17:37] yuki**
All units, fire!
**[17:58] yuki**
*Don't look away...*
**[18:00] yuki**
*These are the consequences of my actions.*
**[18:03] lay**
The ground there is calcareous...
**[18:06] iza**
It's been eroded away
by an underground river.
**[18:10] iza**
But I never even thought that you could...
**[18:15] lune**
No way. It's so deep and so wide...
**[18:18] yuni**
We can't cross it with hovers...
**[18:22] har**
Excessarca, resume shelling!
**[18:25] har**
If we thin out their forces now—
**[18:27] yuki**
*No, you will not.*
**[18:29] yuki**
* I want you all to stand by*
* and await my further command.*
**[18:31] har**
*Princess Yuki!*
**[18:33] yuki**
Harold, you need to do as I say.
**[18:35] yuki**
That's an order.
**[18:41] iza**
Princess Yuki...
**[18:46] james**
It will probably take until tomorrow
for the Empire to marshal their forces.
**[18:51] james**
What is our next course
of action, Your Highness?
**[18:54] yuki**
Contact their leader, Chief of Staff Eine.
**[18:58] yuki**
The Kingdom of Soleil will accept
the Empire's terms of surrender
**[19:01] yuki**
and lay down arms immediately.
**[19:04] yuni**
Princess Yuki!
**[19:05] yuni**
But, then...
**[19:07] yuki**
I don't want to see anyone else die.
**[19:11] yuki**
So I'll turn myself over to the Empire.
**[19:16] yuki**
I'm prepared to give my life
to see an end to this fighting.
**[19:20] yuni**
No!
**[19:23] har**
Your Highness...
**[19:25] iza**
You insist on this course of action?
**[19:28] yuki**
Yes.
**[19:30] iza**
Very well.
**[19:32] iza**
I'll begin overtures to the Empire at once.
**[19:36] yuki**
Thank you.
**[19:39] yuki**
The signing won't be at the
Royal Palace of Soleil?
**[19:43] iza**
You must travel to the Imperial headquarters.
**[19:46] iza**
This ship will take you there.
**[19:49] yuki**
I see.
**[19:50] iza**
Once the signing is complete,
**[19:51] iza**
the Imperial Army will wish to
begin their occupation immediately.
**[19:54] iza**
I will remain and make preparations for that.
**[19:57] yuki**
Please do.
**[20:11] yuki**
Where are we going?
**[20:13] yuki**
This isn't the way to the
Imperial headquarters...
**[20:15] yuki**
This ship is heading south
**[20:17] yuki**
to the primary refugee evacuation site,
**[20:19] yuki**
the southern State of Leo Tacrath.
**[20:23] yuki**
What?
**[20:25] yuki**
You will change our course this instant!
**[20:37] har**
Princess Yuki.
**[20:48] iza**
*Good luck to all of you.*
**[20:50] iza**
*Fight well.*
**[20:52] yuki**
Izana! I...
**[20:55] iza**
*Look after Elisa and Noel...*
**[20:58] iza**
*And my other child, about to be born.*
**[21:06] iza**
* Princess Yuki, you have just*
* begun to stand on your own.*
**[21:10] iza**
*Now is not the time for you to die.*
**[21:16] yuki**
Izana!
**[22:51] aine**
*To save her own skin, Yuki Soleil has fled.*
**[22:54] aine**
*She has abandoned Hariant and its people!*
**[22:58] aine**
*The sheer cowardice of it!*
**[23:00] aine**
*She is unworthy to reign over others!*
**[23:02] aine**
*We are victorious.*
**[23:05] aine**
*The Kingdom is as good as fallen.*
**[23:08] aine**
*And we owe it to your diligent, hard work.*
**[23:11] aine**
*Glory to Grandiga!*

Margrave Guize.
**[00:02] iza**
You have my gratitude and respect
for continuing to fight,
**[00:05] iza**
single-handedly, for the sake of the kingdom.
**[00:08] iza**
But the Kingdom of Soleil is
now in a difficult position.
**[00:12] iza**
Our capital city, Hariant,
is currently occupied.
**[00:16] iza**
We do not wish to see any more
pointless losses or deaths.
**[00:22] mar**
*Not only did you get yourself captured,*
**[00:24] mar**
*now you're acting as the Empire's lapdog?*
**[00:27] mar**
*I'm disappointed.*

*Have you lost your pride?*
**[00:31] mar**
* It has been a month since the princess*

**[00:35] mar**
*No matter how young she may be,*
**[00:36] mar**

**[00:39] iza**
Margrave. The princess has not abandoned—
**[00:42] mar**
*No excuses!*
**[00:44] mar**
* My pride demands that I defend*

**[00:50] mar**
*Excuse me.*

**[02:43] lily**
There was a lot of shelling
in this area, too, huh?
**[02:46] lily**
It's a strange feeling...
**[02:49] lily**
seeing the aftermath of our attacks on them.
**[02:52] stel**
And vice-versa, too.
**[02:55] lily**
Yeah... looking at Pierce since he got hurt.
**[02:59] lily**
It's still hard for me.
**[03:02] stel**
Yes.
**[03:04] stel**
Especially since he's trying
so hard to be strong...
**[03:11] brea**
I thought this was the royal palace.
**[03:14] huey**
Yeah, pathetic.
**[03:16] brea**
Hey, how'd it go?
**[03:18] stel**
This should be our last visit
to Pierce in the hospital.
**[03:20] huey**
What, is he finally kicking the bucket?
**[03:22] lily**
You idiot. He's being
discharged this evening.
**[03:25] brea**
Today?
**[03:26] lily**
So Stella and I were talking, and...
**[03:30] stel**
I was wondering if we could
all send Pierce off together.
**[03:34] aine**
So the western Margrave
won't submit that easily?
**[03:39] iza**
Though they're technically part of our domain,
it is a region with much history.
**[03:43] iza**
You can force me to advocate on your behalf,
**[03:46] iza**
but that doesn't mean they'll listen.
**[03:48] aine**
I'm aware of the difficulty.
**[03:50] aine**
Try your hardest to
convince them, regardless.
**[03:53] aine**
Neither of us wants to see more
pointless bloodshed, do we?
**[03:56] iza**
Pointless blood?
**[03:58] iza**
Don't you mean, "I'd rather not have
to divide my forces, if possible"?
**[04:04] aine**
I anticipated that the
Royal Senate would flee here.
**[04:08] aine**
I'd naïvely assumed that their
surrender would come soon after...
**[04:12] aine**
I didn't expect they would
give us this much trouble.
**[04:15] aine**
Rumors say that
**[04:17] aine**
it's the runaway princess who commands
the remaining resistance. Is it true?
**[04:21] iza**
I wouldn't know.
**[04:22] iza**
I've been a bird in a cage for over a month.
**[04:25] iza**
I'm in no position to hear such things.
**[04:29] aine**
Then, as a bird in a cage, do keep singing...
**[04:34] aine**
The song, "surrender to the Empire."
**[04:39] gail**
A farewell party, eh?
**[04:41] gail**
Sounds fine.
**[04:42] gail**
You can use my room if you'd like.
**[04:44] stel**
Thank you, sir.
**[04:45] break**
But there's no decent food
to have a proper feast.
**[04:49] huey**
Seems a little late for the buddy-buddy act.
**[04:52] lily**
Why do you always have to be this way?
**[04:55] gai**
There you are, Huey! And company.
**[04:57] stel**
Guy?
**[04:58] huey**
What're you doing here?
**[05:00] guy**
What do you think? I'm joining you guys!
**[05:02] break**
Who's that guy again?
**[05:05] stel**
From the fight on the River Deese...
**[05:06] huey**
Remember the sad fool who was
all like "ahh, they got us"?
**[05:10] break**
Oh, I remember now!
**[05:12] guy**
Don't exaggerate.
**[05:15] lily**
But, what do you mean, you're joining us?
**[05:17] gail**
The decision was made unofficially.
**[05:19] gail**
He's filling in for Pierce.
**[05:22] gai**
I look forward to serving with you!
**[05:24] gai**
You heard the man.
**[05:26] guy**
I even brought a present.
**[05:29] guy**
From my private stash.
**[05:31] guy**
Don't spare the gratitude, okay?
**[05:33] huey**
You drank half.
**[05:37] stel**
What if we all brought food?
**[05:40] gai**
What are you talking about?
**[05:41] lily**
Of course! That's a great idea!
**[05:44] lily**
Let's all bring things
from our private stores!
**[05:47] guy**
Seriously, what are you talking about?!
**[05:50] aine**
My Emperor.
**[05:51] aine**
I've received word that the
information Advisor Langford gave us
**[05:54] aine**
has nearly been decoded.
**[05:57] emp**
*I see.*
**[05:58] emp**
*Does that mean we'll be able to mass-produce*
**[06:02] emp**
*the new chrars currently in our possession?*
**[06:04] aine**
Yes, almost certainly.
**[06:07] aine**
However...
**[06:08] emp**
*Yes?*
**[06:09] aine**
With the end of the conflict in sight,
**[06:13] aine**
hasn't the need for mass
production become less urgent?
**[06:17] aine**
As you know, the new chrars are
rife with issues, and given—
**[06:20] emp**
*Enough.*
**[06:22] emp**
*Soldiers die under my flag.*
**[06:26] emp**
* When your crest represents*
* no tradition, no bloodline,*
**[06:29] emp**
* the only way it can command*
* loyalty is with power.*
**[06:34] emp**
*I know that better than anyone.*
**[06:40] lily**
I'm pretty sure...
**[06:46] lily**
It probably won't be enough.
**[06:49] lily**
Even if we all bring some...
**[06:52] lily**
Is something wrong?
**[06:54] stel**
This smell...
**[07:01] huey**
Totally not enough.
**[07:03] huey**
Some party this is gonna be.
**[07:06] brea**
You're one to talk.
**[07:07] brea**
You didn't even bring anything!
**[07:10] lily**
Open up! Please open the door!
**[07:15] stel**
I thought we could share this.
**[07:17] gail**
What's all this?
**[07:19] lily**
Apparently some stray fire hit the palace
wine cellar and blew a hole in it.
**[07:23] stel**
Most of the wine was ruined,
and they were going to throw it out.
**[07:28] gail**
So you took some?
**[07:29] lily**
Stella is amazing!
**[07:31] lily**
She picked up the smell of
the spilled wine right away!
**[07:34] stel**
Well... I have a memory of playing
around in a place like that long ago.
**[07:40] break**
You came from a household with a wine cellar?
**[07:42] stel**
Or maybe it was in the neighborhood...
**[07:45] stel**
It was a really long time ago.
**[07:48] stel**
The memories are fuzzy.
**[07:50] guy**
Get outta the way!
**[07:53] break**
Potatoes?
**[07:54] guy**
The load was starting to go bad, and they
were desperate for a way to get rid of them.
**[07:58] stel**
But they don't seem to be
in terrible condition...
**[08:01] guy**
Well, you stay in the military long enough,
**[08:03] guy**
you pick up a loyal squadmate or two.
**[08:07] huey**
Sounds like I'm up, then.
**[08:09] huey**
Is the kitchen free?
**[08:15] lily**
How shocking!
**[08:17] lily**
I didn't know Huey had such skills.
**[08:22] stel**
What?
**[08:28] huey**
Okay, enough peeling.
**[08:29] huey**
Break, go cook those sardines.
**[08:31] break**
Huh? But they're canned!
**[08:33] huey**
So grill 'em in the can.
**[08:35] huey**
A little extra effort goes a long way.
**[08:39] break**
Wh-Which one's the grill?
**[08:41] guy**
Quiet down! Someone's gonna come!
**[08:43] huey**
You people!
**[08:44] huey**
Cooking isn't something you can do quietly!
**[08:47] huey**
And you, quit staring and put
those potatoes in the mixer!
**[08:50] lily**
You don't have to be so bossy!
**[08:52] stel**
What should I do?
**[08:53] huey**
Let's see...
**[08:54] huey**
Here, chateau these.
**[08:56] stel**
Huh?
**[08:57] huey**
Okay. Then trim these.
**[09:00] stel**
"Trim"?
**[09:02] huey**
Forget it!
**[09:03] huey**
Go decorate the room or something.
**[09:11] lily**
How beautiful!
**[09:13] stel**
They're artificial, of course.
**[09:18] break**
You think she came from a
fancy household, after all?
**[09:23] lily**
I've never thought to ask,
**[09:26] lily**
and she doesn't seem to
want to talk about it...
**[09:46] break**
I feel weirdly nervous.
**[09:49] gail**
Let's skip the pleasantries.
**[09:51] gail**
To Pierce's release from the hospital.
**[09:53] gail**
Cheers!
**[09:54] all**
Cheers!
**[09:59] pierce**
Amazing. You did all this...
**[10:01] break**
Of course, it's almost all potatoes.
**[10:04] lily**
But we worked hard to make it.
**[10:06] lily**
Huey and all of us.
**[10:10] lily**
W-Wow. It's so good!
Really, really good!
**[10:14] lily**
How to put it... it's rich, but not cloying.
**[10:19] pier**
This is delicious!
**[10:20] pier**
I know. This is perfect.
**[10:23] pier**
I've been carrying these around with me.
**[10:25] pier**
Would you like to try some?
**[10:28] stel**
What are they?
**[10:29] pie**
Bugsy beans.
**[10:30] pie**
They're a local delicacy from my hometown.
**[10:32] pie**
They're an acquired taste,
**[10:34] pie**
but they can be quite addictive
once you're used to them.
**[10:36] pie**
Would you like to try one, Commander?
**[10:38] gail**
I'm not really a fan of beans...
**[10:41] lily**
They look delicious!
**[10:43] break**
Wait. Hang on, I've heard of these beans.
**[10:47] break**
When we feed these to Royal Army
POWs, they complain about torture!
**[10:53] huey**
Wh-What the hell is this?!
**[10:56] lily**
W-Well... that's a local delicacy for you.
**[10:59] lily**
They're rather... unique.
**[11:02] huey**
They're gross!
**[11:03] guy**
Hey, you guys okay?
**[11:06] guy**
You don't have to force it...
**[11:08] huey**
Water! I need water!
**[11:09] break**
Wait!
**[11:10] break**
If you want to kill the taste, try this.
**[11:12] break**
It's what we drink in my hometown
after you eat something gross.
**[11:15] break**
You see...
**[11:20] break**
It's even more gross, which cancels it out!
**[11:21] huey**
You ass!
**[11:22] huey**
You just doubled the grossness!
**[11:23] break**
That's strange...
**[11:26] guy**
I told you, you don't need to force it...
**[11:31] guy**
Don't worry. I'll be filling
your shoes and then some.
**[11:35] guy**
Head on home without a care.
**[11:37] lily**
Hey.
**[11:38] break**
But it'll be nice to be home, huh?
**[11:41] pierce**
I guess.
**[11:42] break**
You guess?
**[11:43] huey**
It never feels nice to get let go.
**[11:46] huey**
He's getting a discharge
for injury, remember?
**[11:48] lily**
Still, your family'll be happy to see you.
**[11:53] pierce**
I'm afraid I was a burden
to them from the start.
**[11:56] pierce**
You know the saying...
"poor farmers, big families."
**[11:58] pierce**
I basically joined the military
to be one less mouth to feed.
**[12:04] pierce**
A long time ago, someone tricked my father
**[12:07] pierce**
into buying a large shipment of
crop seeds that wouldn't root.
**[12:11] pierce**
He lost a fortune, and our family
spiraled from there into poverty.
**[12:15] huey**
What the hell?
**[12:16] huey**
Don't any of us come from a not-terrible life?
**[12:19] guy**
What'll you do next?
**[12:21] guy**
Got a job lined up?
**[12:22] pierce**
Well... I haven't really decided.
**[12:25] gail**
Would you like to work at my orphanage, then?
**[12:30] lily**
Commander, what did you...
**[12:33] gail**
I run an orphanage. I was asking
if you'd like to help out there.
**[12:37] stel**
Why do you run an orphanage?
**[12:39] gail**
Do I need a reason?
**[12:42] stel**
No...
**[12:43] gail**
What do you think?
**[12:45] pierce**
Well...
**[12:47] gail**
Is that a no?
**[12:48] pie**
No...
**[12:49] pie**
Well, it's just so sudden...
**[12:53] gail**
Think about it, then.
**[12:55] gail**
Let me know before you go.
**[13:06] mon**
Excuse me.
**[13:10] iza**
I'm sure you were told to investigate
if you saw me writing anything down.
**[13:15] iza**
They're baby names.
**[13:16] mon**
Baby names?
**[13:19] iza**
My next will be born soon.
**[13:21] iza**
But I'm having trouble
thinking up good names...
**[13:27] stel**
Excuse me, sir.
**[13:28] stel**
Warrant Officer Break and Huey
went back to their rooms.
**[13:32] gail**
Guy, too?
**[13:33] stel**
Yes.
**[13:34] stel**
He was stumbling drunk, so the Warrant
Officer took him back to his room...
**[13:38] stel**
Lily took a walk to settle her stomach.
**[13:41] stel**
She ate too much, she said.
**[13:43] gail**
I see. You sleep, too.
**[13:46] gail**
We can clean this all up tomorrow.
**[13:48] stel**
Yes, sir.
**[13:49] stel**
Ah... Where's Pierce?
**[13:52] stel**
He left a little while ago.
**[13:55] stel**
What did he say?
**[13:57] gail**
About the orphanage?
**[13:59] gail**
He hasn't made up his mind yet.
**[14:02] stel**
I thought it was a wonderful offer, myself.
**[14:04] gail**
I'm not sure I'd say an
orphanage is wonderful.
**[14:08] gail**
But I thought he might appreciate it.
**[14:12] gail**
He said his father once told him...
**[14:16] gail**
"You're a crop that won't root, too."
**[14:21] gail**
Apparently he was a bit of a troublemaker.
**[14:24] gail**
Well, it's a common story for young people,
**[14:26] gail**
at that age before they've
figured themselves out.
**[14:29] gail**
But, apparently, those words
cut him pretty deep.
**[14:34] gail**
"They say I'm like the crops that
brought my family to ruin"...
**[14:38] gail**
"How could someone like me
ever look after children?"
**[14:44] stel**
I think he'll be fine.
**[14:48] stel**
Those who know pain are better
equipped to understand the feelings
**[14:54] stel**
of children who have suffered.
**[14:58] gail**
Were you one of those children, too?
**[15:08] (Flashback) mom**
Come here! Call me Mom!
**[15:15] (Flashback) dad**
I told you it's not working!
**[15:18] (Flashback) dad**
It's not working...
**[15:19] (Flashback) dad**
I don't even know if I'll
be able to keep my job.
**[15:22] (Flashback) dad**
I don't know if we'll be able to feed her...
**[15:24] (Flashback) mom**
But you were so happy when she was born!
**[15:27] (Flashback) dad**
But things have changed since then!
**[15:30] (Flashback) dad**
If only we hadn't taken that girl in...
**[15:42] (Flashback) mom**
Are you saying it's not good enough for you?
**[15:45] (Flashback) mom**
Then wipe that expression off your face.
**[15:53] (Flashback) mom**
That's right.
**[15:55] (Flashback) mom**
Just keep smiling.
**[15:57] (Flashback) mom**
Smiling will get you through anything.
**[16:33] gail**
The children I'm trying to raise
**[16:35] gail**
probably aren't the kind
you're thinking about.
**[16:39] gail**
I don't want to raise weak children
**[16:42] gail**
who rely on commiseration
to fumble through life.
**[16:46] gail**
Nor children who lie to themselves and
smile just to placate those around them.
**[16:55] gail**
Pierce is just looking for reasons to
justify his lack of self-confidence.
**[17:01] gail**
It's not the flower that decides it
won't root, it's the people around it.
**[17:05] gail**
Flowers and crops both...
**[17:08] gail**
They fight with all they have to take
root and survive, don't you think?
**[17:13] gail**
I'll go to bed, too.
**[17:15] gail**
Haven't been this drunk in a while.
**[17:28] lily**
Stella!
**[17:31] stel**
Lily. And Pierce...
**[17:33] lily**
I ran into him before.
**[17:35] lily**
He made me this weird proposal...
**[17:37] pie**
Well...
**[17:38] pie**
Please don't say it that way.
She'll get the wrong idea.
**[17:42] pie**
It's just... this may be a silly
request from a country bumpkin,
**[17:47] pie**
but I'd like to see the royal palace...
**[17:50] stel**
The royal palace?
**[17:51] stel**
But we're technically in...
**[17:52] lily**
Oh, we know that.
**[17:54] lily**
But, look!
**[17:56] lily**
The places the royals actually lived...
**[17:58] lily**
We rank-and-file aren't
allowed in without leave.
**[18:01] pie**
If I have to return to the country,
**[18:02] pie**
I'd like to bring a good story back with me.
**[18:05] lily**
Want to come, Stella?
**[18:06] lily**
I'd like to see it myself.
**[18:13] stel**
Stop.
**[18:14] stel**
That way!
**[18:17] stel**
Hide!
**[18:29] (Flashback) mom**
Smiling will get you through anything.
**[18:33] (Flashback) gail**
Nor children who lie to themselves and
smile just to placate those around them.
**[18:42] lily**
Amazing...
**[18:44] pie**
Yeah, it's amazing.
**[18:47] pie**
Thanks.
**[18:48] pie**
This will make a great
story to take back home.
**[18:50] stel**
Are we done here, then?
**[18:52] lily**
Seeing as we've come this far,
why not venture further?
**[18:57] stel**
A greenhouse... in a place like this?
**[19:02] lily**
It's so beautiful!
**[19:08] pie**
I've never seen flowers like these before.
**[19:11] lily**
Are they dead?
**[19:14] pie**
Flowers that didn't root?
**[19:19] stel**
But look, they've grown this big.
**[19:23] stel**
Even if it's hard for them to grow,
**[19:26] stel**
they still did so,
while someone cared for them.
**[19:30] pie**
You're right. They might not have had to die.
**[19:36] stel**
Someone took really good care of them.
**[19:39] stel**
Someone came and went,
giving them water and love...
**[19:45] stel**
"It's not the flower that
decides it won't root."
**[19:47] stel**
"It's the people around it
who are convinced that it won't."
**[19:52] stel**
The commander told me that.
**[19:54] stel**
"Flowers and crops both..."
**[19:55] stel**
"They fight with all they have
to take root and survive."
**[20:02] pie**
You think the commander's asleep already?
**[20:06] stel**
Most likely.
**[20:08] stel**
But he's probably waiting to hear from you.
**[20:15] stel**
* Who put so much love and care into*
* raising these flowers, and why?*
**[20:29] sol**
You'll be home soon?
**[20:32] pie**
Yeah.
**[20:33] pie**
The border will soon be in sight.
**[20:36] pie**
Then it's just a little bit longer...
**[20:46] lily**
That can't be true!
**[20:48] gail**
The transport hover Pierce was in
was attacked near the border.
**[20:53] break**
Any survivors?
**[20:59] lily**
But...
**[21:01] lily**
He was going to stop back home,
then go to your orphanage...
**[21:05] lily**
He seemed so happy...
**[21:07] lily**
It's so...
**[21:09] lily**
It's so...
**[21:16] huey**
But that's reality for you, isn't it?
**[21:20] huey**
When a pathetic fool starts to dream,
**[21:22] huey**
he's just setting himself up for a fall.
**[21:24] lily**
Huey...
**[21:34] huey**
At times like these, you can't
do much but smile. Right?

I'll have you transferred to

Until then, I'll be keeping

He did?
**[06:40] eli**
He hung off me even more, actually.
**[06:42] noel**
No way!
**[06:49] eli**
Noel, would you?
**[06:51] noel**
Coming!
**[06:55] yuki**
Good evening, Noel.

You ditched work again!

Hey. It's not like I do it *that* often...

I thought we'd have a big meal, all together!
**[07:24] yuki**
Yes!

I... I meant to do that!

You know? It's really
hard to cut it like this!
**[07:34] eli**
P-Princess Yuki, please allow me...

I'll keep a *very* close eye on her.
**[07:58] noel**
So good!
**[08:00] yuki**
Miss Layla came up with the dishes.
**[08:03] yuki**
She said it's important that you
eat a balanced meal at this stage.
**[08:08] lay**
It would have turned out better if we
could grow vegetables more reliably...
**[08:13] yuki**
I never knew about it either...
**[08:15] yuki**
Apparently, the crops haven't been
growing well these last few years...
**[08:19] eli**
That's right. Izana has had concerns
about that for some time, as well.
**[08:23] lay**
Yes.
**[08:24] lay**
He said we needed the new chrars
to increase crop productivity.
**[08:30] yuki**
I see. Izana said that?
**[08:32] noel**
When Dad gets back, I'll tell him
I made dinner with Princess Yuki!
**[08:38] noel**
He'll be so surprised!
**[08:40] noel**
Right?
**[08:40] eli**
Yes, that's right.
**[08:45] eli**
I'm sure he'll be fine.
**[08:48] eli**
He's much tougher than he looks.
**[08:57] yuki**
Getting Izana back is another reason
we need to stop the war soon.
**[09:02] yuki**
I understand what Harold is saying...
**[09:04] yuki**
but I'd like to avoid any more sacrifices.
**[09:07] yuki**
On their side, and on ours.
**[09:10] yuki**
Also...
**[09:16] yuki**
Miss Layla, the day we left the palace...
**[09:20] yuki**
That recording you showed me
from twelve years ago...
**[09:22] yuki**
I can't stop thinking about it.
**[09:25] (Flashback) yuki**
Izana left this for me?
**[09:27] (Flashback) lay**
Yes. He said it was time
for you to know the truth.

*Who are you?*

*That power doesn't belong in this world!*
**[09:46] (Flashback) yuki**
What does it mean?
**[09:48] (Flashback) yuki**
You mean my parents didn't
die in an accident?
**[09:55] yuki**
The ones who attacked during the ceremony
**[09:57] yuki**
were survivors of the old Empire of Verde.
**[10:01] lay**
Yes.
**[10:02] lay**
It seems that even before the incident,
**[10:04] lay**
they had been protesting the
very existence of chrars.
**[10:07] lay**
But Soleil and Grandiga
did not share their views.
**[10:12] lay**
That tragedy was the result.
**[10:15] yuki**
But none of you... not you,
not Harold, nor Izana...
**[10:19] yuki**
were told why they objected.
**[10:22] yuki**
Why did the Empire of Verde
hate the new chrars so much?

**[11:27] emp**
*is your reluctance to use the new chrars*
**[11:31] emp**
* the result of reviewing the*
* Empire of Verde's research?*
**[11:35] iza**
The Empire of Verde?
**[11:47] har**
How many can we install right now?
**[11:50] man**
Twenty-four.
**[11:52] har**
Hurry.
**[11:53] har**
I want our preparations to be perfect.
**[11:59] ope**
*Urgent message from recon squad.*
**[12:01] ope**
* The Imperial Army at the palace*
* is showing signs of movement.*
**[12:05] har**
Understood.
**[12:06] har**
I'll return to headquarters at once.
**[12:09] har**
Our recon squad reports five enemy
carriers in port at the palace.
**[12:14] har**
They're probably about to send a large force.
**[12:17] har**
Their target will be one of
these as-yet unoccupied states:
**[12:21] har**
North Robia or Theras.
**[12:24] yuki**
What's the status of the Excessarca?
**[12:26] ope**
Still in the State of Chrisant,
fighting alongside Margrave Guize's army.
**[12:31] yuki**
I see.
**[12:33] har**
I have twenty-four Gards equipped
with new chrars heading our way.
**[12:39] har**
We should muster our forces
and meet them in battle.
**[12:43] yuki**
No.
**[12:44] yuki**
We'll continue our current strategy.
**[12:47] yuki**
They outnumber us too greatly.
**[12:49] yuki**
Prepare for withdrawal.
**[12:51] har**
Losing either of those states will make it
harder to hold off an attack on this city!
**[12:57] yuki**
That doesn't matter.
**[12:59] yuki**
As long as our people are safe,
**[13:00] yuki**
there will always be another opportunity.
**[13:02] har**
Your Highness!
**[13:03] yuki**
I will not change my plan!
**[13:06] yuki**
Contact the armies in both states covertly.
**[13:09] yuki**
Have them ready to move people
and resources at any time.
**[13:13] har**
Yes, ma'am...
**[13:30] noel**
Mom?
**[13:32] noel**
Mom!
**[13:33] ope**
Message from the scout squad!
**[13:36] ope**
The enemy ships are setting out!
**[13:38] ope**
They're heading for the State of North Robia!
**[13:40] yuki**
Move the people and resources of North Robia
**[13:43] yuki**
along the designated routes
to the State of Theras!
**[13:46] ope**
Yes, ma'am!
**[13:47] ope**
I'll have them mobilize at once!
**[13:56] iza**
Excuse me. Could I ask your opinion?
**[14:01] iza**
It's about baby names.
**[14:02] iza**
I've narrowed it down to two,
**[14:04] iza**
but I can't seem to decide.
**[14:26] ope**
Our forces will reach the State
of Theras border momentarily.
**[14:30] ope**
Five enemy carriers have arrived on the
border to the State of North Robia.
**[14:34] yuki**
I think we're going to make it...
**[14:36] ope**
Princess Yuki! Message from an enemy ship!
**[14:41] yuki**
Put them through.
**[14:43] eine**
* I'm honored to speak with*
* you again, Miss Yuki.*
**[14:47] yuki**
You're...
**[14:48] eine**
*First, I'd like to apologize.*
**[14:51] eine**
* I spoke to you in our last*
* meeting with contempt.*
**[14:55] eine**
*But I respect your continuing efforts,*
**[14:57] eine**
* and your ability to inspire*
* loyalty in your people.*
**[15:03] yuki**
Is this the only reason you called me?
**[15:06] eine**
*I wish to ask you one thing:*
**[15:08] eine**
*would you agree to surrender?*
**[15:11] eine**
*If you surrender now,*
**[15:13] eine**
* we can put an end to all of this*
* without further loss of life.*
**[15:20] yuki**
Twelve years ago,
**[15:21] yuki**
the Empire of Verde resorted to terrorism
**[15:23] yuki**
to keep the new chrars from being used.
**[15:26] yuki**
Does your empire know why?
**[15:30] yuki**
I see that you do.
**[15:34] yuki**
If we surrender now, will you
guarantee the safety of my people,
**[15:38] yuki**
and the release of information
about the Empire of Verde?
**[15:44] eine**
*I will guarantee the former,*
**[15:47] eine**
*but on the latter, I refuse.*
**[15:50] yuki**
Then I cannot agree to surrender.
**[15:55] eine**
*A pity.*
**[15:57] eine**
*Then you should have focused less on that,*
**[15:58] eine**
* and more on your brethren*
* just outside my front door.*
**[16:04] ope**
Message from the recon squad in Theras.
**[16:07] ope**
Enemy ships and theurgears in large
numbers are approaching from Rothea!
**[16:10] ope**
It looks like an ambush!
**[16:12] har**
They anticipated our movements?
**[16:42] iza**
Of course... no time to keep eyes
on a prisoner who's past usefulness.
**[17:12] ope**
Urgent message! It's from
Yuni Vanquish of the Order!
**[17:17] yuni**
*Princess Yuki.*
**[17:18] yuki**
*Yuni! Where are you?*
**[17:20] yuni**
*Near the border between Rothea and Theras.*
**[17:23] yuni**
*After we finished our mission,*
**[17:26] yuni**
* we heard about the situation there,*
* and we went on ahead of the Excessarca.*
**[17:29] lune**
* Our forces are surrounded*
* about 300 meters away.*
**[17:34] yuki**
Lune, do you know if they're all right?
**[17:37] lune**
* According to communications*
* recon intercepted,*
**[17:39] lune**
*they've been completely wiped out.*
**[17:44] har**
Your Highness!
**[17:45] yuki**
I know...
**[17:49] yuki**
I'm sorry. I'm all right.
**[17:53] lune**
* Princess Yuki, recon picked up*
* one more piece of information.*
**[17:58] lune**
* Their chief of staff, Eine Fleet,*
* is in the ship ahead of us.*
**[18:03] lune**
*We could catch them by surprise right now.*
**[18:05] lune**
*I'm positive we could take that ship down.*
**[18:08] yuki**
But... if you do that...
**[18:10] yuni**
* We'd gladly give our lives to*
* punch the Empire in the nose.*
**[18:13] yuki**
You can't!
**[18:15] yuni**
*Princess Yuki.*
**[18:17] yuni**
* Losing their chief of staff will*
* be a massive blow to their army.*
**[18:21] yuni**
*Let us do this!*
**[18:23] yuki**
I said no!
**[18:25] har**
Princess, now is the time
to do what is necessary!
**[18:28] yuki**
We can't afford to lose
any more of our people!
**[18:30] har**
After all this, you're still saying that?!
**[18:33] yuki**
This is the only way I can do things!
**[18:48] iza**
It can't be...
**[18:50] ope**
Urgent message.
**[18:51] ope**
This time it's from the palace!
**[18:55] yuki**
Izana?
**[18:56] har**
What are you doing?!
**[18:58] iza**
Princess Yuki, I'm going to send
you some extremely important data.
**[19:02] yuki**
*Data?*
**[19:03] har**
*You idiot!*
**[19:04] har**
*If they find you, they'll kill you!*
**[19:05] iza**
I know that.
**[19:06] har**
*Then...*
**[19:07] iza**
This data will change Soleil's future.
**[19:13] iza**
*This contains the chrars research report*
**[19:17] iza**
*compiled by Empire of Verde scientists.*
**[19:19] yuki**
The Empire of Verde...
**[19:22] iza**
It should show you what caused
the incident twelve years ago.
**[19:33] yuki**
*Izana!*
**[19:37] yuki**
Izana!
**[19:40] har**
Your Highness! Grant permission to attack!
**[19:42] iza**
*Harold...*
**[19:45] iza**
*We can't have you going to pieces.*
**[19:49] iza**
* I've named our child about*
* to be born. Tell Elisa...*
**[19:56] iza**
*"Ciel."*
**[19:58] iza**
* It's a word that means "sky"*
* in our homeworld's language.*
**[20:03] iza**
* Boundless and vast...*
* with unlimited freedom...*
**[20:08] iza**
*Tell my child... to live... that way...*
**[20:15] yuki**
Izana! What are you talking about?
**[20:18] yuki**
You know I can't do that!
**[20:21] yuki**
You have to tell her yourself!
**[20:24] yuki**
You have to name it yourself!
**[20:28] iza**
* You ask the unreasonable...*
* to the very end...*
**[20:35] har**
Izana...
**[20:40] har**
Next time we meet, let's go for a drink.
**[20:55] yuki**
Izana!
**[22:54] yuki**
Elisa...
**[22:57] noel**
Princess Yuki! I have a little brother!
**[23:00] noel**
I'm a big sister!

Princess Yuki, would you like to hold him?
**[23:17] eli**
Princess Yuki, are you crying?

Ciel Langford.
**[00:11] yuki**
May your future be one of joy and prosperity.

If you'll excuse me.

Ciel, huh?
**[00:36] noel**
That's such a great name!

Dad's so smart!
**[00:43] elisa**
Thank you for coming to the celebration
personally, Princess Yuki.
**[00:48] elisa**
Izana would have been so pleased...

Elisa...

Don't cry, Mom!

We gotta be strong until the war's over!

'Cause Dad's being strong in Hariant, too!

Right, Ciel?
**[01:05] elisa**
That's right.
**[01:07] elisa**
Well, if you'll excuse us...
**[01:12] yuki**
Miss Layla... Have I been
wrong all this time?
**[01:18] yuki**
I didn't want anyone else to die...
**[01:21] yuki**
But because of me...
they just seem to keep...
**[01:24] lay**
Lord Izana gave his life to
bring you important information.
**[01:29] lay**
Your royal integrity demands that
you respect that determination.
**[01:33] yuki**
I know.
**[01:36] yuki**
I know that, but...
**[01:45] ope**
Enemy garrison is beginning to withdraw.
**[01:49] har**
Pursue.
**[01:50] har**
Don't let one of them get back to
Hariant alive. Annihilate them.
**[01:55] ope**
But they've been completely demoralized...
**[01:57] har**
I repeat: Annihilate them.
**[02:01] har**
I know it conflicts with
Princess Yuki's policies.
**[02:05] har**
I'll take responsibility.
**[02:09] ope**
Yes, sir.
**[02:10] ope**
Annihilate them!
**[02:16] har**
* Izana, I heard the warning you*
* gave your life to send me.*
**[02:21] har**
*But...*
**[02:30] har**
*This is the response I've chosen.*

**[04:05] sen**
So we took back the State of Theras, eh?
**[04:07] sen**
Scared the hell out of me when their chief
of staff led the invasion personally, but...
**[04:13] sen**
Well done. Keep the pressure
on them, would you?
**[04:17] sen**
How goes the increased
production of the new chrars?
**[04:20] har**
We're going as fast as we can.
**[04:21] har**
On top of that, I have good news.
**[04:23] har**
We've discovered that improving
the placement of the new chrars
**[04:28] har**
allows for far better output than before.
**[04:32] har**
Using this in mobile artillery
**[04:33] har**
would allow us to shell them from
greater distances than ever before.
**[04:37] sen**
Excellent!
**[04:38] sen**
We'll blast those Imperial squatters
right out of our palace!
**[04:42] har**
The weapon will primarily
serve as a show of force.
**[04:45] har**
We're long past the point where powerful
artillery alone can win us the day.
**[04:51] har**
But if used prudently,
**[04:53] har**
this could perhaps turn the
tide back in our favor.
**[04:56] yuki**
If that would indeed end the war,
**[05:00] yuki**
I would welcome it...
**[05:03] yuki**
But only if it doesn't cause
unnecessary deaths on their side.
**[05:08] har**
Princess Yuki, have you forgotten
what happened the other day?
**[05:12] har**
The Empire set an ambush
for our withdrawing forces
**[05:16] har**
and attacked them mercilessly.
**[05:18] har**
As a result, the deaths
were solely on our side.
**[05:21] har**
"Treasure all lives, whether friend or foe."
**[05:25] har**
It's a beautiful ideal, in principle.
**[05:28] har**
But it's not realistic.
**[05:31] har**
War cannot be whitewashed so easily.
**[05:33] yuki**
I will not argue with you in that regard.
**[05:36] yuki**
But the new chrars are another story.
**[05:41] yuki**
Those assembled should be familiar by now
**[05:43] yuki**
with the contents of the data Izana sent us.
**[05:46] yuki**
Yet you continue to manufacture new chrars—
**[05:49] har**
We do.
**[05:51] har**
We have no other choice.
**[05:59] yuki**
I don't believe it.
**[06:01] yuki**
How could they ever face Izana after this?
**[06:05] lay**
According to the research data
the Empire was concealing,
**[06:08] lay**
the scientists of the Empire of
Verde had independently realized
**[06:11] lay**
the chrars' negative impact
on the environment.
**[06:15] lay**
It would happen over the course
of a millennium or two...
**[06:18] lay**
But if we kept using chrars, the planet's soil
would eventually turn barren.
**[06:23] lay**
The Empire of Verde perceived the new chrars,
**[06:26] lay**
which would hasten that
process, as dangerous.
**[06:30] lay**
That perception eventually led to the
terrorist act of twelve years ago.
**[06:34] yuki**
Do you think Mother and Father knew?
**[06:38] lay**
I suspect that Verde first
tried amicably to inform
**[06:42] lay**
both sides about the danger of the chrars.
**[06:46] lay**
But the information never
reached the royal couple.
**[06:51] lay**
Somebody smothered it.
**[06:54] lay**
Them, most likely.
**[06:57] lay**
Grandiga also suppressed the information.
**[07:00] lay**
The Empire of Verde fell,
**[07:03] lay**
and the survivors perpetrated
that act of terrorism,
**[07:07] lay**
killing the royal couple,
and many others, in the process...
**[07:12] yuki**
Miss Layla... did you lose...
someone important to you, then?
**[07:18] yuki**
I just had a feeling...
**[07:19] yuki**
But I couldn't ask before now...
**[07:23] yuki**
I guess you don't want to tell me about it...
**[07:26] lay**
Princess Yuki...
**[07:29] yuki**
*And so, Miss Layla told me everything.*
**[07:34] yuki**
* How she was caught up in the*
* same incident my parents were,*
**[07:37] yuki**
*and lost everything...*
**[07:39] yuki**
* How she didn't feel like*
* returning to the Empire...*
**[07:42] yuki**
*and with Izana's help, started a new life...*
**[07:48] lay**
Princess Yuki, I have a favor to ask you.
**[07:52] lay**
As a former chrars researcher,
**[07:55] lay**
there is something about the information
Lord Izana left us that concerns me.
**[07:59] lay**
Could I have time to analyze it?
**[08:01] yuki**
Yes. Please do.
**[08:06] yuki**
*The Royal Army mass-produced the new chrars,*
**[08:09] yuki**
* and managed to keep the*
* Imperial Army at bay...*
**[08:12] yuki**
*The war fell into a stalemate again.*
**[08:15] yuki**
* Casualties between the two*
* armies exceeded 300,000.*
**[08:28] yuki**
*Winter will come soon...*
**[08:30] yuki**
* What will happen to these children*
* if we can't get enough food?*
**[08:39] yuki**
*Then one day, as autumn neared its end...*
**[08:43] har**
It is now about 90% complete.
**[08:46] har**
The Excessarca is expected to
collect the parts tomorrow morning
**[08:49] har**
to carry them to the front line.
**[08:52] har**
What brings you here today?
**[08:54] lay**
Could I use one of the new
chrars test facilities?
**[08:58] lay**
I only require an hour.
**[09:00] har**
If you wish.
**[09:01] yuki**
Thank you. Let's go.
**[09:04] har**
Wait a minute.
**[09:06] har**
I'll show you the way.
**[09:12] har**
What's in there?
**[09:14] lay**
You'll see soon enough.
**[09:34] yuki**
Miss Layla, what are those?
**[09:37] lay**
Microscopic mechanisms found
in our planet's atmosphere.
**[09:41] lay**
Ancient nanomachines.
**[09:44] lay**
The data Lord Izana sent
allowed me to identify them.
**[09:48] lay**
It's my first time seeing
them this way, as well, but...
**[09:53] lay**
These nanomachines were released
**[09:55] lay**
by our ancestors to terraform the planet.
**[09:59] lay**
These self-replicating nanomachines
dissolved into the atmosphere,
**[10:02] lay**
became part of its composition,
**[10:03] lay**
and rendered the planet
capable of sustaining life.
**[10:07] lay**
But as generations passed from
the initial immigration,
**[10:10] lay**
the knowledge and technology were lost.
**[10:16] lay**
In time, something unexpected happened...
**[10:19] lay**
A mineral unique to this planet,
the chrarslapis, was discovered.
**[10:24] lay**
This revolutionary mineral provided
limitless clean energy...
**[10:28] lay**
But the idea of something coming
from nothing is pure fantasy.
**[10:33] lay**
They should have questioned
it from the start.
**[10:36] lay**
By coincidence, the chrars had a natural
resonance with the nanomachines.
**[10:41] lay**
The energy that seemed to
be produced by the chrars
**[10:44] lay**
was actually the energy that
powered the nanomachines,
**[10:46] lay**
extracted through that resonance.
**[10:50] lay**
In effect, the chrars are
draining the nanomachines.
**[10:56] lay**
With continued usage, as you can see,
the nanomachines begin to die out...
**[11:01] har**
...And the planet's environment degrades.
**[11:04] har**
You're saying the Empire
of Verde realized that?
**[11:10] yuki**
Miss Layla!
**[11:11] lay**
I'm almost finished.
**[11:12] lay**
Try not to look directly at the light.
**[11:23] lay**
Do not worry.
**[11:24] lay**
The experiment was a success.
**[11:27] lay**
Continuous overburdening of a new chrars
**[11:32] lay**
shut down its resonance
with the nanomachines.
**[11:36] har**
Are you saying...
**[11:38] lay**
Yes. The chrars lost its ability to
channel energy from the nanomachines.
**[11:44] lay**
The result is all around you.
**[11:46] har**
I see...
**[11:48] har**
It would be impossible to keep
fighting under such circumstances.
**[11:52] har**
It's the greatest weapon I've ever seen.
**[11:55] har**
If we turned this on the Imperial Army,
**[11:57] har**
the Kingdom could end the war victorious!
**[12:06] knight**
90% of our energy supply has been disrupted.
**[12:08] knight**
The security system remains down, as well.
**[12:11] har**
Maintain maximum vigilance
with the naked eye.
**[12:13] har**
Let me know the moment the
Excessarca is in sight.
**[12:17] man**
Yes, sir.
**[12:18] op**
Uncertainty is spreading among the staff.
**[12:21] op**
It's late in the season,
and we'll need ways to keep warm...
**[12:24] har**
Distribute emergency rations.
**[12:26] har**
Camping will be permitted within
200 meters of the facility.
**[12:29] har**
Tell the heads of each department
to keep a firm hand on their staff.
**[12:36] yuki**
Miss Layla, how long will
things be like this?
**[12:39] lay**
I believe power will be restored by dawn.
**[12:42] lay**
Forgive me.
**[12:43] lay**
I didn't expect it to
affect such a wide area...
**[12:47] lay**
My simulations had it limited
to ten meters of the experi—
**[12:58] lay**
Ouch!
**[13:00] yu**
*What was that sound she just made?*
**[13:04] har**
Not used to keeping a fire?
**[13:07] har**
Another lifelong city dweller, I see...
**[13:09] har**
I'll take over.
**[13:10] har**
Camping's something I can handle.
**[13:16] har**
It's getting colder...
**[13:18] har**
You've really done it to us this time.
**[13:22] lay**
The fire is going out.
**[13:29] yuki**
It's nice and warm...
**[13:32] yuki**
Maybe...
**[13:33] yuki**
if we could all live together
like this... war wouldn't even...
**[13:39] lay**
According to the records, our ancestors
did live like this, long ago.
**[13:46] lay**
Our home planet did not have chrars,
**[13:50] lay**
and before civilization developed,
**[13:53] lay**
they must have spent a long time
living just such simple lives.
**[13:57] yuki**
Then, you think we could—
**[13:58] har**
It's a fantasy.
**[14:00] yuki**
Harold?
**[14:02] har**
The loss of chrars would lead to a
scramble for resources just to survive.
**[14:07] har**
If we didn't have weapons, we'd just
kill each other with our bare hands.
**[14:10] yuki**
B-But...
**[14:11] yuki**
Don't you remember the research
from the Empire of Verde?
**[14:14] yuki**
If we keep using the new chrars...
**[14:16] har**
The immediate danger must
be dealt with first.
**[14:18] har**
If we fail to win this war,
the Kingdom will fall.
**[14:22] har**
Your beloved people will die out.
**[14:26] har**
But if we use this against the enemy,
**[14:28] har**
it could prove extremely useful.
**[14:29] lay**
I'm sorry to inform you,
**[14:31] lay**
but it cannot be used as a weapon.
**[14:34] lay**
Neither we nor the Empire have the technology
**[14:37] lay**
to make the phenomenon occur
in a given location at will.
**[14:42] lay**
I'm very sorry to disappoint you.
**[14:47] har**
All right, I get the gist.
**[14:49] har**
Try to keep the princess warm.
**[14:52] lay**
Yes, sir.
**[15:01] har**
It really is a fantasy...
**[15:04] har**
But...
**[15:05] har**
If not for these things, Izana...
**[15:08] har**
You and she might never
have lost your lives...
**[15:14] har**
Losing and taking...
**[15:16] har**
Is that cycle all there is, in the end?
**[15:20] har**
In terms of what I can do...
**[15:31] james**
I heard everything.
**[15:32] james**
Quite a mess you had to
deal with yesterday, eh?
**[15:35] james**
Izana left you one hell of a souvenir.
**[15:39] har**
Yes...
**[15:41] james**
What happened with Izana
isn't solely your fault.
**[15:44] james**
You shouldn't beat yourself up too much.
**[15:46] james**
We can't afford to lose
any more of our people.
**[15:48] har**
That's quite a tone to take
with your Grand Master.
**[15:52] james**
I feel the same way.
**[15:53] james**
When did that boy I watched sweat
bullets in his first deployment
**[15:56] james**
start talking like he's a real man?
**[16:03] lay**
I'm told the Excessarca
will set out this evening.
**[16:06] lay**
It's going to be carrying the new artillery.
**[16:09] yuki**
I see...
**[16:12] yuki**
Miss Layla, I want to ask you something.
**[16:17] james**
That's all of it.
**[16:19] har**
We're counting on you.
**[16:25] aud**
That's the end of it.
**[16:26] aud**
It's only a matter of time
before the Imperial Army
**[16:29] aud**
breaks the defense line and arrives here.
**[16:30] har**
How goes the loading of the mobile artillery?
**[16:32] jona**
Ten minutes to completion.
**[16:36] har**
The moment it's done,
head for State Capital Edinell.
**[16:39] har**
Take Princess Yuki and get out of here.
**[16:43] har**
Retrieve all the chrars research
materials from the facility.
**[16:46] har**
Get as many of the workers
on board as you can, as well.
**[16:49] har**
Out of the Order machines,
the Monocherous Unit alone will remain.
**[16:52] har**
I'll take command and buy
time for you to escape.
**[16:56] james**
Understood. And the twins?
**[16:58] har**
I'm leaving them to guard the ship.
**[17:00] lune**
You can't...
**[17:00] yuni**
Master! Allow us to join you!
**[17:04] har**
You'll keep Princess Yuki safe.
**[17:06] har**
That's an order.
**[17:09] yuki**
No! You need to come with us!
**[17:12] har**
Your life comes first, Your Highness.
**[17:23] yuki**
Harold!
**[17:30] har**
Don't look at me that way.
**[17:32] har**
You need to be stronger than this.
**[17:35] yuki**
But...
**[17:36] har**
We can't afford to stand still now.
**[17:39] har**
The Empire won't be able to maintain
this war of attrition much longer.
**[17:43] har**
They'll be struggling to end things quickly.
**[17:46] har**
Princess Yuki, I apologize for the
many times I've disobeyed you.
**[17:51] har**
It was the only way I knew
to protect the Kingdom.
**[17:59] har**
Princess Yuki, if you truly care
about your country and your people,
**[18:04] har**
the time has come for you to make choices,
**[18:06] har**
no matter how difficult
and painful they may be.
**[18:09] har**
As their leader, you do not
have time to stand still.
**[18:14] har**
Walk forward, I ask you.
**[18:23] yuki**
Harold...
**[18:25] har**
I will hold the road behind you.
**[18:57] mono**
*Traps activated!*
**[18:59] har**
I think we might just buy them a little time.
**[19:01] mono**
*Yes, sir.*
**[19:02] mono**
* Let's go out there, guns blazing,*
* and hold their attention.*
**[19:06] har**
I'm sorry to make you join me here.
**[19:08] mono**
*Not at all.*
**[19:09] mono**
* Any knight would be honored*
* to serve as rear guard.*
**[19:13] har**
Indeed.
**[19:16] mari**
Report from field recon.
**[19:18] mari**
Hostilities have begun!
**[19:20] james**
Have they noticed us?
**[19:21] ian**
Not yet.
**[19:30] mono**
*They've breached the mine field!*
**[19:31] har**
They'll cut through!
**[19:33] har**
Follow me!
**[19:35] (Flashback) king**
New life of Soleil.
**[19:38] (Flashback) king**
In celebration of your birth,
**[19:40] (Flashback) king**
I grant you the royal blessing.
**[20:24] har**
The one from last time, eh?
**[20:36] (Flashback) king**
Now, give her your blessing.
**[20:42] (Flashback) iza**
Princess Yuki Soleil...
**[20:53] har**
May your future be one of joy and prosperity.
**[21:22] mari**
Report from recon.
**[21:24] mari**
Hostilities have ended.
**[21:26] ian**
No signs of the enemy in the area.
**[21:28] ian**
We'll reach a safe distance soon.
**[21:32] lune**
Grand Master Harold...
**[21:48] yuki**
Full speed ahead.
**[21:50] yuki**
We don't have time to stand still.
**[21:52] yuki**
Take us to State Capital Edinell!

**[00:08] guy**
They sure aren't making this easy...
**[00:11] break**
They've got lots of crafty old veterans, too.
**[00:14] break**
Securing these borderlands is no picnic.
**[00:17] lily**
And I bet there's still more left to take...
**[00:21] huey**
You even need to ask?
**[00:23] huey**
Look at them down there.
**[00:24] huey**
We're in for more of this, and soon.
**[00:28] huey**
See?
**[00:29] gail**
Buerger Squad.
**[00:31] gail**
We'll make preparations and move out at once.
**[00:34] gail**
We have our next mission.
***SIGN*** The Price of Smiles
***SIGN*** The Price of Smiles
***SIGN*** The Ignition of Souls
**[02:28] break**
It's time.
**[02:29] guy**
Oh? I can finally swap out, huh?
**[02:33] huey**
Damn, it's gotten cold.
**[02:37] guy**
Want a drink?
**[02:38] guy**
It'll warm you up.
**[02:41] huey**
Please, it's freezing...
**[02:45] huey**
Hey, is this from your stash?
**[02:47] break**
Hey, is that alcohol?
**[02:48] break**
If the commander finds out,
you'll be in for it.
**[02:51] huey**
Oh, chill out.
**[02:56] gail**
We're on a mission. Hand it over.
**[03:01] huey**
Damn it.
**[03:02] huey**
I've known old bastards like him.
**[03:05] huey**
Eyes like a hawk, searching around
for any fault they can find.
**[03:09] guy**
But my last commander was all
about maintaining his pride.
**[03:13] guy**
He really kept us at a distance.
**[03:15] guy**
I didn't expect it, but this
type of team has its charms.
**[03:19] huey**
Yeah, maybe so.
**[03:34] break**
We've been ordered to stand by for a while.
**[03:36] break**
They said there's a chance our
moving target might change.
**[03:39] lily**
How long is "a while"?
**[03:42] break**
It depends on how the planning meeting goes,
**[03:45] break**
but I bet they won't reach a decision today.
**[03:47] huey**
What the hell?
**[03:48] huey**
So we gotta camp out in this cold?
**[03:50] break**
Don't worry.
**[03:51] break**
We have orders to do maintenance
on our theurgears while we wait.
**[03:56] guy**
By ourselves?!
**[03:57] break**
There's a team of mechanics doing
the rounds who will offer support.
**[04:00] break**
Our scheduled time frame is 2300 hours.
**[04:03] guy**
I get it.
**[04:04] guy**
In other words, no time to sleep.
**[04:06] break**
Precisely.
**[04:08] gail**
Take some free time until 2100.
**[04:11] gail**
Sleep or drink, whatever you like.
**[04:14] gail**
Just make sure you've sobered
up when the time comes.
**[04:19] lily**
This one's cute!
**[04:21] lily**
What do you think?
**[04:25] stel**
I... I like it.
**[04:27] anja**
Huh? You do?
**[04:30] anja**
You've got weird taste, lady.
**[04:32] lily**
That's rude!
**[04:34] lily**
People have always said,
"Lily, your taste is unique!" in a good way!
**[04:37] anja**
I don't think they meant
that in a good way...
**[04:41] lily**
H-Hey!
**[04:42] lily**
I'm gonna tell your parents on you!
**[04:47] anja**
You can't.
**[04:51] gail**
An orphanage?
**[04:53] stel**
I don't know if you could
call it that, exactly...
**[04:56] stel**
There's an elderly couple that's
letting war orphans live with them.
**[05:00] lily**
Um... I was wondering if we
could bring them a pick-me-up.
**[05:06] lily**
I kind of said something bad...
**[05:09] gail**
Bad?
**[05:10] lily**
I said I was gonna tell the kid's parents...
**[05:15] stel**
Is it all right if we go?
**[05:18] stel**
It's a bit far away, but...
**[05:20] gail**
I don't mind.
**[05:23] gail**
Just see that you're back in time.
**[05:25] stel**
Thank you, sir.
**[05:28] gail**
Wait.
**[05:31] gail**
I'll come, too.
**[05:34] lily**
We know it's not much,
**[05:36] lily**
but we hoped it might help you out...
**[05:40] stel**
It might be hard to accept from people
**[05:42] stel**
who were your enemies until recently...
**[05:46] woman**
We accept it gratefully.
**[05:48] woman**
We truly appreciate your kindness.
**[05:50] gail**
Do you look after them all by yourselves?
**[05:52] woman**
We didn't intend to, at first.
**[05:56] woman**
But they just started coming,
and we couldn't abandon them...
**[06:00] man**
Though, in a way,
they've ended up looking after us.
**[06:07] gail**
But you know things can't
stay this way forever.
**[06:11] anja**
This one's good, right?
**[06:13] lily**
Anja, did you guys draw all of these?
**[06:15] anja**
Yeah, me and the others!
**[06:19] woman**
They draw them for fun when it rains.
**[06:28] stel**
This picture...
**[06:30] wife**
He drew it.
**[06:32] wife**
I've encouraged him to draw other things,
**[06:34] wife**
but he always draws the war.
**[06:37] wife**
I suppose the world he's most
familiar with these days...
**[06:40] lily**
Hello, there. It's nice to meet you.
**[06:44] wife**
What's the matter, now?
**[06:45] wife**
Say hello.
**[06:47] gail**
We were the attackers until recently.
**[06:51] gail**
It's understandable.
**[07:00] gail**
Now, look closer.
**[07:03] gail**
You see the trick?
**[07:06] lily**
You can tell he does this a lot!
**[07:08] stel**
Yeah.
**[07:09] anja**
Hey, hey!
**[07:11] anja**
Let's draw! All together!
**[07:14] lily**
Sorry. We can't stay too long.
**[07:19] gail**
You can stay a bit longer.
**[07:21] lily**
Commander?
**[07:22] gail**
I'll go back ahead.
**[07:24] gail**
Make sure to get some sleep.
**[07:26] gail**
Maintenance will have us up all night.
**[07:29] stel**
Yes, sir.
**[07:32] lily**
All done!
**[07:34] lily**
Who do you think it is?
**[07:35] anja**
What are those?
**[07:36] anja**
Scary!
**[07:37] anja**
Are those people?
**[07:38] anja**
No, they're monsters!
**[07:41] stel**
What did you draw?
**[07:43] lily**
It was supposed to be
the old couple who live here...
**[07:47] stel**
I won't tell them if you won't.
**[07:49] lily**
Kids just don't understand
my aesthetic sensibilities!
**[07:57] ema**
Welcome, weary traveler!
**[07:59] ema**
Have a treat!
**[08:02] stel**
Thank you.
**[08:03] ema**
Welcome to Emma's House!
**[08:06] stel**
Your name is Emma?
**[08:07] ema**
Yeah!
**[08:09] stel**
Is this... your house?
**[08:11] ema**
Yeah!
**[08:13] stel**
I see.
**[08:17] stel**
So this is...
**[08:19] stel**
your place.
**[08:29] lily**
Those kids were cute.
**[08:31] stel**
Yes...
**[08:33] lil**
I hope they can make that
their home forever...
**[08:40] lil**
What's wrong?
**[08:42] (Flashback) fb**
If...
**[08:44] (Flashback) fb**
If you feel like there's nowhere in
the world where you belong, don't worry.
**[08:50] (Flashback) fb**
You'll find your place someday.
**[08:54] (Flashback) fb**
Did you find a place?
**[08:56] (Flashback) fb**
Yes.
**[08:59] stel**
I said something like that
to a child I met before.
**[09:05] stel**
I was just trying to comfort her,
**[09:08] stel**
but the truth is that, like her,
**[09:11] stel**
I've been searching for
my place for a long time.
**[09:15] stel**
There was no place for me with
the family that raised me.
**[10:00] (Flashback) woman**
Hey, you!
**[10:01] (Flashback) woman**
You can't stay there.
**[10:06] (Flashback) woman**
Do you have a problem with that?
**[10:11] (Flashback) woman**
Just get going.
**[10:28] stel**
I ended up in the army just to stay alive.
**[10:32] stel**
So it's not really my place, either...
**[10:36] lily**
Well, I wouldn't say the army
is my place, either...
**[10:42] lily**
But I feel like in this squad,
with everyone... this is my place.
**[10:48] stel**
Everyone?
**[10:49] lily**
Remember Commander Gail before?
**[10:51] lily**
"Make sure to get some sleep."
**[10:53] lily**
"Maintenance will have us up all night."
**[10:56] lily**
He sounded like a fussy old dad.
**[11:00] lily**
Don't you think?
**[11:02] stel**
Yes.
**[11:03] lily**
Warrant Officer Break and
Guy have their nice sides.
**[11:07] lily**
Huey's a jerk, but I think every
family has their black sheep!
**[11:13] lily**
Plus I've always wanted a cool big sister!
**[11:20] lily**
So I would really like it if you'd
think of this squad as your place!
**[11:28] lily**
You can't blow me off with
that expression again!
**[11:32] lily**
I'm being serious with you!
**[11:38] stel**
I just...
**[11:39] stel**
I'm not sure how to answer you...
**[11:48] gail**
Don't stop working; just listen.
**[11:50] gail**
We have our next marching orders.
**[11:53] gail**
We'll meet up with an assault carrier
120 kilometers to the south,
**[11:57] gail**
just outside the State of Leo Tacrath.
**[11:59] gail**
We'll assault a Royal Army facility,
to either secure it or destroy it.
**[12:03] huey**
Another tough one...
**[12:06] gail**
We'll set out at 0630 hours.
**[12:08] gail**
Finish your maintenance
within the next two hours.
**[12:12] (Flashback) fb**
I would really like it if you'd
think of this squad as your place!
**[12:17] (Flashback) fb**
Welcome to Emma's House!
**[12:19] (Flashback) fb**
At times like these, you can't
do much but smile. Right?
**[12:23] (Flashback) fb**
Were you one of those children, too?
**[12:25] (Flashback) fb**
Just keep smiling.
**[12:27] (Flashback) fb**
Smiling will get you through anything.
**[12:33] break**
Keep going! Keep going! Keep going!
**[12:36] break**
Now stop!
**[12:38] break**
A little more to the right— Hey, stop!
**[12:42] huey**
Are you kidding me?
**[12:48] break**
The mechanics are already gone, right?
**[12:52] gail**
I'm sure we can work it out.
**[12:54] gail**
The rest of you can go on ahead.
**[12:57] gail**
It'll take about two hours,
but I'll catch up right away.
**[13:00] gail**
Of course, you'll be helping me, Stella.
**[13:06] gail**
It's rare to see you make
a mistake like this.
**[13:09] stel**
I'm sorry.
**[13:11] gail**
Well, there's nothing wrong
with showing a little humanity.
**[13:16] stel**
Humanity?
**[13:18] gail**
In a way, the battlefield is
**[13:20] gail**
where a person most clearly
shows their true nature.
**[13:24] gail**
On the front lines, the toughest man you know
**[13:26] gail**
might end up a shrieking, terrified wreck.
**[13:30] gail**
They can try to keep their calm like you,
**[13:32] gail**
but they can't even put up a front.
**[13:36] stel**
I'm not... trying to put up a front.
**[13:40] gail**
That's what I thought, too, at first.
**[13:44] gail**
I thought you'd left your emotions behind.
**[13:50] gail**
But these days...
**[13:55] gail**
Do you feel you've changed?
**[13:59] gail**
I'm not sure if this way
is more "you" or not,
**[14:03] gail**
but I think it's a pretty good thing.
**[14:17] stel**
Do you think the children we met
**[14:19] stel**
will be able to stay like that forever?
**[14:22] gail**
It's a tough question.
**[14:24] gail**
It seems impossible for that old
couple to take care of them alone.
**[14:27] gail**
There are many places exactly like that.
**[14:30] gail**
We're limited in what we can do for them,
**[14:33] gail**
but something is better than nothing.
**[14:36] stel**
Is that why you run an orphanage?
**[14:39] gail**
You saw the pictures, right?
**[14:41] gail**
I have kids like that in my orphanage, too.
**[14:43] gail**
Kids who can't draw anything
but bloody battle scenes.
**[14:50] gail**
We're the ones creating kids like that,
**[14:54] gail**
so we have a responsibility
to see them through this.
**[14:57] gail**
Until the time comes when we can show them
a different world, a different future...
**[15:04] gail**
Hey, focus on your driving, will you?
**[15:07] gail**
Don't you space out and
crash into something again.
**[15:10] gail**
What's wrong?
**[15:12] stel**
Lily said something.
**[15:14] stel**
She said you were like a fussy old dad.
**[15:17] gail**
What?!
**[15:18] gail**
Give me a break...
**[15:20] gail**
I have enough kids as it is.
**[15:37] gail**
There they are.
**[15:39] gail**
We'll join up with them,
**[15:40] gail**
then we'll make our way to
the State of Leo Tacrath.
**[15:54] off**
It's clear! Move!
**[16:03] huey**
They're shooting us from pillboxes!
**[16:05] gail**
Hold your ground! Return fire!
**[16:07] gail**
Take out the machine guns!
**[16:11] off**
That way! Climb that slope!
**[16:23] guy**
What the...
**[16:24] break**
Mines! They've mined part of the slope!
**[16:27] gail**
Get back! Stick to the planned route!
**[16:32] huey**
Damn it, they're trying to
stall us at every turn...
**[16:36] break**
They must be really desperate to
keep us out of that facility...
**[16:40] break**
What the hell is in there?!
**[16:43] gail**
Get back as far as you can!
**[16:44] gail**
The carriers are going to start shelling!
**[16:46] gail**
They'll destroy the mine field!
**[16:56] gail**
Now! Charge!
**[17:09] break**
*You okay, Guy?!*
**[17:11] guy**
I think so... but my hovers...
**[17:14] huey**
Stay there and suck down some booze.
**[17:16] huey**
We'll take things from here.
**[17:20] gail**
Is everyone all right?
**[17:21] huey**
Except for Guy.
**[17:23] huey**
He becomes useless at all the worst times.
**[17:25] break**
You said it!
**[17:36] break**
Lily! Behind you!
**[17:39] huey**
Damn you!
**[17:44] break**
Get back!
**[17:50] stel**
That unit...
**[18:04] gail**
Stella!
**[18:07] stel**
Commander!
**[18:18] lily**
Commander!
**[18:24] gail**
Stay back... it's about to explode.
**[18:29] stel**
Commander, why...
**[18:32] gail**
Why?
**[18:34] gail**
Do I need a reason...
**[18:35] gail**
to protect my precious subordinate?
**[18:40] stel**
*Commander...*
**[18:41] gail**
Stay back.
**[18:44] gail**
Stella...

Guy...
**[18:55] lily**
*Commander! Commander!*
**[18:59] gail**
Survive... and see them through...
**[19:06] gail**
To the end of the fighting...
**[19:08] gail**
And what begins the day after...
**[19:27] lily**
Stella...
**[19:55] eine**
Rest in peace before us,
**[19:59] eine**
heroic warrior of the Kingdom of Soleil,
**[20:02] eine**
Grand Master Harold Miller.
**[20:05] eine**
As a token of kindness,
**[20:06] eine**
our emperor reaches across the boundary
that divides friend and foe
**[20:12] eine**
to offer his most heartfelt grief.
**[20:18] eine**
* Ah, the sword you turned against us*
* is sheathed one final time,*
**[20:23] eine**
*that you may ascend in peace to the heavens.*
**[20:26] guy**
Awfully showy for an enemy funeral.
**[20:28] eine**
*If the times and circumstances
had not divided us,*
**[20:30] break**
That's what they call propaganda.
**[20:31] eine**
*perhaps instead of crossing swords, we
might have shared a drink as friends,*
**[20:33] guy**
Propaganda?
**[20:34] eine**
*and talked of the future of the nations
to whom we pledged our loyalty.*
**[20:35] break**
The Kingdom's as exhausted from
the drawn-out war as we are.
**[20:39] break**
Playing on their war-weariness
is a way to undermine them.
**[20:42] huey**
It's all stupid.
**[20:44] huey**
Some people didn't even leave a body to bury.
**[20:54] lily**
Stella.
**[20:57] stel**
Thank you.
**[21:02] lily**
Did you know?
**[21:05] lily**
The commander wasn't picky,
**[21:09] lily**
but beans were the one
thing he couldn't stand...
**[21:16] stel**
Really?
**[21:18] lily**
Yes, it's true.
**[21:29] huey**
Is that the stuff?
**[21:30] guy**
Yeah.
**[21:39] (Flashback) gail**
We're on a mission. Hand it over.
**[21:48] stel**
*Goodbye... Commander.*

*Since the recent funeral we held for
Harold Miller of the Kingdom of Soleil,*
***SIGN*** - November 24th -
**[00:07] eine**
*in the northern part of the State of Theras,*
**[00:09] eine**
*not only have civilians begun to surrender,*
**[00:11] eine**
*but so too have the royal army soldiers.*
**[00:13] eine**
*This phenomenon is gradually spreading.*
**[00:17] eine**
*This is our chance to seize victory.*
**[00:19] eine**
* It's time to enact our planned*
* full-scale offensive,*
**[00:22] eine**
*crush the Royal Army,*
**[00:25] eine**
*and finally put an end to this war.*
**[00:31] guy**
I guess the propaganda actually worked, huh?
**[00:34] break**
It won't matter here on the front lines.
**[00:37] break**
We're still being sent on these mop-up
operations, losing people every day.
**[00:41] break**
If they're gonna do some big funeral,
I wish they'd memorialize our guys, too.
**[00:47] lily**
Hey, everyone... I had an idea.
**[00:51] lily**
Next payday, why don't we send some money
to the orphanage Commander Gail ran?
**[00:56] lily**
It's the least we can do to
thank him for everything.
**[00:59] break**
Now there's a good idea!
**[01:01] guy**
Sure, I'm in.
**[01:02] guy**
I don't buy much anyway, outside of booze.
**[01:07] huey**
Give me a damned break.
**[01:10] huey**
Paying obligations to a dead man...
**[01:13] huey**
What a bunch of self-congratulatory crap.
**[01:15] break**
Don't be that way. Just give a little bit.
**[01:17] huey**
Really, Acting Commander Break?
**[01:21] huey**
Would that be an order, then?
**[01:24] stel**
That's enough out of you.
**[01:25] huey**
I'm the one who's had enough.
**[01:28] huey**
Get your heads out of your asses already!
**[01:30] huey**
How do you expect to fight like this?!
**[01:37] com**
Withdraw! Withdraw!
**[01:43] break**
We're on unfavorable ground!
**[01:44] break**
They're gonna take us out!
**[01:47] stel**
Break!
**[01:47] break**
I'm still good!
**[01:49] break**
You guys, withdraw!
**[01:50] huey**
You think you're hot stuff?!

Wait! Huey!

Huey, get back!

You bastards!

**[03:51] guy**
How'd it go?
**[03:53] break**
I managed to pass it off
as a broken transmitter.
**[03:56] huey**
Excellent job back there, Acting Commander.
**[04:00] break**
What were you thinking?
**[04:01] break**
How could you do something so stupid?
**[04:03] huey**
Huh? My transmitter was broken, remember?
**[04:06] break**
I'm being serious!
**[04:08] break**
You could have died out there!
**[04:09] huey**
Chill out already.
**[04:11] huey**
If anyone dies, they'll get replaced right away.
**[04:14] huey**
Like how you became commander
after the old man bit it!
**[04:18] break**
You...
**[04:26] huey**
You little...
**[04:29] stel**
Doesn't it make you sad when
you say things like that?
**[04:33] huey**
Let's do this...
**[04:35] break**
Don't do it!
**[04:38] lily**
Stella!
**[04:40] break**
Cut it out!
**[04:42] guy**
Guys, we don't need more problems right now!
**[04:44] huey**
Hate to disappoint, but I'm not sad at all!
**[04:47] huey**
That's how war works!
Didn't you get the memo?
**[04:50] lily**
Please, don't!
**[04:52] huey**
One minute you're smiling the day away,
**[04:54] huey**
the next you're all weepy and pissy.
**[04:57] huey**
You need psychiatric help, stat!
**[05:01] stel**
If we were that easily replaced,
**[05:04] stel**
Commander Gail wouldn't
have died to protect us!
**[05:09] stel**
"Survive and see them through."
**[05:11] stel**
We're the only ones who got that order!
**[05:16] stel**
So from now on, I won't
let one more of us die!
**[05:28] huey**
You've got a serious screw loose.
**[05:45] man**
Huh? Why this orphanage?
**[05:47] man**
Someone from your squad have a kid there?
**[05:51] lily**
Why do you ask?
**[05:52] man**
Well, Huey sent money to
the same place earlier...
**[05:58] lily**
Honestly...
**[06:00] lily**
He has to make everything so difficult.
**[06:23] stel**
My place...
**[06:52] sol**
Urgent message from Soleil!
**[06:54] sol**
We have an urgent message from Soleil!
**[06:56] sol**
Gather at the rationing station!
**[06:58] sol**
Gather at the rationing station!
**[07:07] yuki**
*Our nations have waged a long campaign now,*
**[07:11] yuki**
*sacrificing many for our cause.*
**[07:14] yuki**
*I will bring an end to all of that.*
**[07:20] yuki**
* We've completed the new weapon*
* we've been developing in secret.*
**[07:25] yuki**
* It can destroy an Imperial*
* battalion with ease.*
**[07:41] yuki**
* I, Yuki Soleil, first princess of the*
* Kingdom of Soleil, hereby declare:*
**[07:48] yuki**
* I will do everything in my*
* power to retake Hariant!*
**[07:56] eine**
*What's going on here?*
**[07:58] eine**
* It's hard to believe this is*
* the same Princess Yuki...*
**[08:01] eine**
*Was her earlier demeanor a ruse?*
**[08:05] aide**
We'll amass our main
force in Hariant at once.
**[08:10] eine**
Increase security on state borders, as well.
**[08:13] aide**
Ma'am.
**[08:15] guy**
I can't believe they cooked
up a monster like that.
**[08:19] guy**
I've heard our side's working hard on R&D, too,
**[08:22] guy**
but it really shows the difference
in our tech levels...
**[08:27] stel**
*I won't let them die.*
**[08:31] huey**
Hey.
**[08:33] huey**
All that big talk you were doing before...
**[08:36] huey**
It means you won't die, either, right?
**[08:40] stel**
Of course.
**[08:42] huey**
Then, quit looking like a dead woman
before we even get out there.
**[08:49] break**
We have our placement.
***SIGN*** - December 5th -
**[09:16] eine**
All forces, halt.
**[09:18] eine**
Until we ascertain the range of
their mobile artillery, stay put.
**[09:28] break**
Looks like they're in a staring contest.
**[09:31] huey**
Never thought they'd send us to the
polar opposite of the front line.
**[09:36] huey**
Just how far away are we?
**[09:39] break**
About 2,000 kilometers, looks like.
**[09:42] break**
Way too far away to join the main force...
That's pretty "us," at least.
**[09:48] huey**
Should we offer our gratitude
to the old man up in heaven?
**[09:51] huey**
"We're living another day thanks to you."
**[09:54] stel**
I could beat you to within an inch of your life.
**[09:57] huey**
You couldn't hit me unless
it was a sucker punch.
**[10:00] break**
Are you guys going to keep doing this?
**[10:06] stel**
It never bothered me before now.
**[10:09] stel**
But lately, your attitude has
been getting under my skin.
**[10:17] stel**
It's like looking at the way I used to be,
**[10:21] stel**
averting my eyes from something for so long.
**[10:27] huey**
Is it, now?
**[10:32] lily**
*Buerger-3 to squad.*
**[10:34] lily**
*I've spotted an enemy squad.*
**[10:40] lily**
I'm tracking them now.
**[10:42] break**
Roger.
**[10:43] break**
We'll head out to support you now.
**[10:48] stel**
Lily, be careful.
**[10:49] lily**
*I will.*
**[10:51] stel**
Stella, moving out!
**[10:58] yuki**
* I, Yuki Soleil, first princess of the*
* Kingdom of Soleil, hereby declare:*
***SIGN*** - November 30th -
**[11:05] yuki**
* I will do everything in my*
* power to retake Hariant!*
**[11:10] sen**
Have you gone mad?
**[11:12] sen**
What are you thinking?
**[11:15] sen**
We can't even deal with the
surrendering civilian movement!
**[11:19] yuki**
Yesterday, our recon squad
**[11:22] yuki**
reported that the Empire is
preparing a full-scale offensive.
**[11:25] all**
What?!
**[11:27] yuki**
This is our only remaining option.
**[11:30] sen**
But do we stand a chance?
**[11:35] yuki**
As discussed earlier,
the completed mobile artillery
**[11:39] yuki**
will help to compensate
for our inferior numbers.
**[11:42] yuki**
And if we emphasize that it
was Harold's final project,
**[11:46] yuki**
it should raise the soldiers' morale.
**[11:52] james**
Honestly... this is quite the
plan you've come up with.
**[11:56] yuki**
The crucial part is yet to come.
**[11:59] lune**
If the Senate knew what
we were really planning,
**[12:01] lune**
they'd try to overturn us.
**[12:03] yuni**
Yeah.
**[12:05] yuni**
I can't believe Miss Layla
approved such an outrageous plan.
**[12:09] lay**
I knew how long Princess Yuki had
been torturing herself over it.
**[12:17] (Flashback) yuki**
Miss Layla, I've thought over again and again
**[12:22] (Flashback) yuki**
that we should surrender to
the Empire and end the war.
**[12:27] (Flashback) yuki**
But... even if we end this particular war,
**[12:31] (Flashback) yuki**
the same thing will happen again someday.
**[12:35] (Flashback) yuki**
No... an even bigger war will take place,
**[12:40] (Flashback) yuki**
and even more people might die.
**[12:44] (Flashback) yuki**
So I...
**[12:54] (Flashback) yuki**
I want to shut down all
the chrars on the planet.
**[13:04] (Flashback) lay**
That's the answer you've
come to, Princess Yuki?
**[13:09] (Flashback) lay**
I'm sorry to say, there's no way
to make that happen from Soleil.
**[13:16] (Flashback) lay**
But the data that Lord Izana
sent us contained accounts
**[13:21] (Flashback) lay**
of an experimental facility
in the old Verde Empire.
**[13:25] (Flashback) yuki**
An experimental facility?
**[13:26] (Flashback) lay**
The scientists of Verde once
had the same idea you did.
**[13:32] (Flashback) lay**
They constructed a facility
to put it into practice.
**[13:37] (Flashback) lay**
At the time, they couldn't
achieve their theorized result.
**[13:43] (Flashback) lay**
But with the technology we have
now, it might become possible.
**[13:50] (Flashback) yuki**
Miss Layla. Help me.
**[13:59] yuki**
Let's go over the plan one more time.
**[14:02] yuki**
First, in accordance with my declaration,
**[14:05] yuki**
James will head towards Hariant with the
main force and the mobile artillery.
**[14:10] yuki**
You should encounter the enemy
somewhere in the State of North Robia.
**[14:14] yuki**
Once they're in sight,
**[14:15] yuki**
use the mobile artillery's range to fire
a warning shot at their front line.
**[14:19] yuki**
That will hold them in place.
**[14:22] yuki**
Avoid an exchange of fire for as
long as you can, and buy us time.
**[14:26] yuki**
If the enemy commander
knows what they're doing,
**[14:28] yuki**
a display of power like that
should give them pause.
**[14:34] yuki**
But if they realize it's a
hastily-prepared prototype...
**[14:38] james**
Please.
**[14:39] james**
I've bluffed them on the
battlefield enough times before.
**[14:43] james**
I'll make sure it works out.
**[14:47] yuki**
In the meantime, Miss Layla and I
**[14:50] yuki**
will slip through the State of Theras,
then the State of Chrisant,
**[14:53] yuki**
on the way to old Verde Empire territory.
**[14:56] yuki**
To keep a low profile, our guard will
be Yuni and Lune, and one other squad.
**[15:02] yuki**
When we arrive at the experimental facility...
**[15:05] yuki**
Then...
**[15:15] lune**
Princess Yuki, I'm sure it will go well.
**[15:18] yuni**
"Passion and will!" Right?
**[15:29] lay**
You would not prefer to give it more time?
**[15:33] yuki**
No... because I don't know
if I'll ever make it back.
**[15:39] yuki**
Elisa is holding off, because I
said I would tell her myself...
**[15:47] noel**
Princess Yuki, you're not
here to eat dinner today?
**[15:51] yuki**
No.
**[15:52] yuki**
Today, I came here to talk.
**[15:55] yuki**
About your papa.
**[15:56] noel**
Papa? Is he coming home?
**[15:58] noel**
When? When's he coming home?!
**[16:00] eli**
Noel, listen to her.
**[16:05] noel**
Princess Yuki?
**[16:10] yuki**
Noel...
**[16:17] noel**
You're lying!
**[16:18] noel**
Princess Yuki, why would you even say that?
**[16:21] yuki**
Noel...
**[16:24] noel**
You're a liar, Princess Yuki!
**[16:26] noel**
Papa *is* coming home!
**[16:28] noel**
He's coming home, right, Mama?
**[16:32] noel**
He's coming home!
**[16:34] noel**
Papa's coming home!
**[16:54] lay**
Princess Yuki.
**[17:04] yuki**
Let's go.
**[17:17] james**
Mobile artillery, prepare to fire.
**[17:20] nicol**
Preparing to fire.
**[17:21] james**
Get it as close as you
can without hitting them.
**[17:24] nico**
Yes, sir!
**[17:31] nicol**
Range: 20 kilometers.
**[17:33] nicol**
Locking on.
**[17:35] james**
Fire!
**[17:49] nicol**
It's a hit.
**[17:54] james**
Stay put for a while now, would you?
**[18:09] sol**
Now passing through northern
State of Chrisant.
**[18:13] lune**
The territory of the old Empire
of Verde should be in sight soon.
**[18:16] yuni**
Don't let your guard down.
**[18:18] lune**
You don't have to tell me that.
**[18:21] yuki**
If Izana, Harold, and Joshua
knew what I'm about to do...
**[18:30] yuki**
Do you think they'd forgive me?
**[18:34] yuki**
No matter what happens,
I must accept sole responsibility.
**[18:39] yuki**
Because this is the decision I've made.
**[18:46] lay**
I've felt the same fear
you have, Princess Yuki.
**[18:53] lay**
When I lost my family in the
accident twelve years ago,
**[18:56] lay**
I was assailed by unfathomable loneliness.
**[19:00] yuki**
Miss Layla...
**[19:02] lay**
Even now, sometimes, when I look at you,
**[19:04] lay**
I'm reminded of my daughter.
**[19:07] yuki**
Your daughter?
**[19:09] lay**
She was kind, and smiled, just like you.
**[19:21] yuki**
Miss Layla... how did you get
past the fear you felt then?
**[19:27] lay**
Your smile, Princess Yuki.
**[19:43] lay**
Your smile has a mysterious power.
**[19:47] lay**
That power that envelops
people... it saved me.
**[19:54] lay**
And that's when I decided...
**[19:56] lay**
that no matter what happened, I would
remain by that smile to the end.
**[20:03] yuki**
Miss Layla...
**[20:05] lay**
If all the chrars are shut down,
**[20:07] lay**
the people will face
hardship like never before.
**[20:11] lay**
That's when your role will truly begin.
**[20:20] yuki**
I will make my kingdom...
**[20:25] yuki**
I will make everyone on this planet smile!
**[20:33] lay**
Yuki.
**[20:38] yuki**
If Mother had lived, do you think
she would have done this for me?
**[20:43] lay**
Of course.
**[20:52] yuni**
Enemy approaching from eight o'clock!
**[20:54] yuni**
We're being pursued!
**[22:34] lily**
They're not the Order.
**[22:35] lily**
A margrave army, maybe?
**[22:37] guy**
You think they're deserting?
**[22:39] guy**
That's old Verde territory ahead...
**[22:42] lily**
We can't let them escape!
**[22:49] lune**
I guess we can't shake them off.
**[22:51] guard**
You go on. We'll hold them off.
**[22:54] lune**
Thank you. Yuni?
**[22:56] yuni**
Understood. I'll be on standby.
**[23:01] yuni**
Princess Yuki.
**[23:03] yuni**
Get away from the window.
**[23:05] yuki**
O-Okay.
**[23:11] lily**
Hey. Wasn't that...
**[23:16] guy**
Damn it!

Hey. Wasn't that...

Damn it!
**[02:17] lily**
Initiating attack!
**[02:18] guy**
Lily, go right!
I'll go left and head them off!
**[02:21] stel**
Hang on! I'm on my way!
**[02:24] yuki**
Lune, what's our position?
**[02:26] lune**
Ninety kilometers to the
old Empire of Verde territory.
**[02:29] lune**
If we manage to shake them off, we can
reach our destination by midnight.
**[02:34] yuki**
I see...
**[02:36] yuki**
Increase our speed to maximum.
**[02:38] yuki**
We need to get there as quickly as possible.
**[02:44] lily**
I'm sorry.
**[02:45] lily**
We were hoping to capture a
pilot for questioning, but...
**[02:50] guy**
They were fighting tooth and nail,
**[02:51] guy**
so we couldn't hold back, either...
**[02:53] guy**
The result is plain to see.
**[02:55] break**
Why would they be so desperate?
**[02:57] break**
It's odd behavior for a rural squadron...
**[02:59] lily**
Hey... what do you think of this?
**[03:03] huey**
Hey! This is...
**[03:09] stel**
Yuki Soleil, Princess of
the Kingdom of Soleil.
**[03:12] stel**
I'm sure of it.
**[03:14] huey**
But why?
**[03:15] huey**
Shouldn't the princess be leading
the big face-off right now?
**[03:18] guy**
You think she's abandoning her people?
**[03:21] lily**
If so, it's unforgivable!
**[03:23] lily**
Doesn't she care at all about
the soldiers on the front lines?
**[03:29] break**
Anyway, I'll make the report.
**[03:38] eine**
What's that? Yuki Soleil?
**[03:40] aide**
Yes.
**[03:41] aide**
The data analyst says it's
extremely likely to be her.
**[03:47] eine**
Where was she sighted?
**[03:49] aide**
Put it on.
**[03:53] eine**
That region...
**[03:54] eine**
Going north would take them to the
experimental facility in the Empire of Verde.
**[03:59] aide**
Indeed.
**[04:00] eine**
If it really could shut down chrars at will,
**[04:04] eine**
its military value would be incalculable.
**[04:06] eine**
That is why our empire did
not dismantle the facility.
**[04:11] aide**
At the emperor's command, of course.
**[04:14] eine**
If the Kingdom has the
technology to activate it,
**[04:19] eine**
and they're able to stop
only our army's chrars...
**[04:24] aide**
The tide would be turned immediately.
**[04:27] eine**
Form a dragnet.
**[04:29] eine**
Find the princess at any cost.
**[04:32] aide**
Yes, ma'am.
**[04:33] eine**
Contact all forces.
**[04:34] eine**
Begin the full-scale offensive!
**[04:42] james**
That's all the time we'll
be buying, I suppose...
**[04:44] james**
Return fire!
**[04:45] james**
They have an overwhelming material advantage.
**[04:47] james**
Don't engage them head-on!
Draw out the fighting as long as you can!
**[04:50] crew**
Sir!
**[05:02] guy**
Is the main battle still going?
**[05:05] huey**
Yeah, it's been four hours now.
**[05:08] guy**
The Kingdom's really hanging in there, huh?
**[05:11] lily**
Here and here...
**[05:13] lily**
And this is the last place
a sighting was reported.
**[05:16] stel**
All their theurgears have been destroyed.
**[05:18] stel**
The last image is just the two vehicles.
**[05:21] lily**
So they didn't bring any other squads?
**[05:23] lily**
Pretty light guard for a
princess, don't you think?
**[05:27] break**
I just got our orders.
**[05:29] break**
We're to go north and enter the
old Empire of Verde territory.
**[05:34] huey**
But there's nothing up there!
**[05:36] break**
Break's over! Let's go.
**[05:41] huey**
Hey.
**[05:45] stel**
This is...
**[05:46] huey**
I just happened to find it.
**[05:48] huey**
It's like a good luck charm for you, right?
**[05:50] huey**
Not good to be without it...
**[05:52] huey**
I couldn't sleep at night
if you died on me first.
***SIGN*** Old Verde Territory
**[06:10] lune**
Lune here. Nothing in the area.
**[06:13] yuni**
Roger. Stay on guard there.
**[06:19] yuki**
This is the Empire of Verde's
experimental facility.
**[06:23] lay**
I don't see any damage.
**[06:26] lay**
It might just...
**[06:32] lay**
We're hooking up the new chrars units.
**[06:36] lay**
Based on the data Lord Izana sent us,
**[06:38] lay**
I matched the unit model to the old
Imperial standard before we left.
**[06:45] lay**
It should finally let the facility
execute its original purpose.
**[06:49] yuki**
Miss Layla... you really
were a chrars researcher...
**[06:54] lay**
It's ironic.
**[06:56] lay**
I thought I'd forgotten all of this.
**[07:00] lay**
I'll be fine.
**[07:02] lay**
Beginning energy distribution.
**[07:18] guy**
What's with that light?
**[07:19] break**
Looks like we found 'em...
**[07:22] huey**
*An Order machine?*
**[07:24] huey**
*Where'd it even come from?*
**[07:25] guy**
*Is that it? Just that one?*
**[07:27] lily**
*I can't be sure.*
**[07:29] stel**
Let's wait for reinforcements.
**[07:31] stel**
There could be others lying in wait.
**[07:33] huey**
*Sounds smart to me.*
**[07:35] break**
*No, we're all going to charge in at once.*
**[07:37] break**
We have a direct order
from Chief of Staff Eine:
**[07:40] break**
"Stop the princess, even if
it costs you your lives."
**[07:43] lily**
Why?!
**[07:43] huey**
Who knows?
**[07:45] huey**
We're just disposable pawns to them anyway.
**[07:47] stel**
I'll take the lead.
**[07:49] stel**
You support me.
**[07:50] lily**
Stella!
**[07:51] huey**
You idiot! After all that
crap you said to me...
**[07:53] stel**
*Don't worry.*
**[07:55] stel**
*I won't throw my life away.*
**[07:58] stel**
Let's all live through this.
**[08:00] stel**
Initiating plan!
**[08:01] stel**
Let's go!
**[08:02] all**
Roger!
**[08:08] lune**
*The enemy have found us.*
**[08:10] lune**
*Hurry up, you guys!*
**[08:11] yuki**
Lune!
**[08:16] stel**
More Order machines?
**[08:18] lily**
Stella, you stay there!
**[08:19] lily**
Huey, go back her up!
**[08:21] huey**
Shut up! Don't order me around!
**[08:34] yuni**
Why, you...!
**[09:00] yuni**
One enemy has entered the facility!
**[09:03] lay**
Princess Yuki, go to the main floor.
**[09:06] yuki**
Come with me, Miss Layla!
**[09:07] lay**
I can't leave just yet.
**[09:10] lay**
Go.
**[09:12] lay**
You must not waste our faith in you.
**[09:21] yuki**
Okay. I'll be waiting upstairs.
**[09:37] stel**
Was that...
**[09:39] sol**
Generator unit holding stable.
**[09:41] sol**
It'll reach critical—
**[10:01] lay**
It's no use.
**[10:02] lay**
The entire facility is powered now.
**[10:06] stel**
What are you people doing—
**[10:18] lay**
This facility can shut down chrars at will.
**[10:23] lay**
If we shut down the chrars,
**[10:26] lay**
our civilization's weapons will
all become worthless scrap.
**[10:32] lay**
That is what our ruler, Princess Yuki, wants.
**[10:37] stel**
*What the princess wants?*
**[10:39] stel**
* It seems unbelievable...*
* but if what she's saying is true...*
**[10:44] stel**
* Is she going to use that power*
* to destroy the Imperial Army?*
**[10:50] stel**
* That would explain the*
* chief of staff's order...*
**[10:55] lay**
Princess Yuki merely wishes to end the war.
**[10:58] lay**
Even if it means earning the world's censure,
**[11:01] lay**
she is prepared to see through her ideals.
**[11:04] stel**
*Then it's true...*
**[11:06] lay**
Imperial soldier.
**[11:08] lay**
I know that you, too, have seen many
terrible sights on the battlefield.
**[11:13] lay**
If such things cause you any pain at all...
**[11:58] lay**
I'm so glad...
**[12:00] stel**
You...
**[12:02] lay**
You survived...
**[12:09] lay**
You can't save me.
**[12:11] lay**
Don't worry about me.
**[12:19] lay**
Princess Yuki... although she acts
strong, she is still a child.
**[12:28] lay**
Please help her... Help Yuki.
**[12:35] lay**
You, who have such kind eyes...
**[12:39] lay**
With her... together...
**[12:42] lay**
I know you will...
**[12:45] lay**
bring smiles... to all the
people of this planet...
**[12:49] lay**
My dear... daughters...
**[12:57] stel**
Why... Why did you save me?
**[13:13] stel**
*Stop the chrars?*
**[13:16] stel**
*Impossible. It can't be done.*
**[13:23] stel**
*But if it means...*
**[13:42] yuki**
You're late, Miss Layla—
**[13:46] yuki**
Who are you?
**[13:47] stel**
What does it matter?
**[13:48] stel**
I'm nothing, compared to
the princess of a country.
**[13:52] yuki**
Where's Miss Layla?
**[13:54] yuki**
Did you see her in the room downstairs?
**[13:56] yuki**
She's important to me!
**[13:59] stel**
That woman... Ah, that person...
**[14:04] stel**
The ceiling came down, and for some reason...
**[14:08] stel**
to save me, she...
**[14:18] stel**
She said you plan to stop the chrars.
**[14:20] stel**
Are you planning to destroy
our Imperial Army?
**[14:25] yuki**
Did Miss Layla tell you that?
**[14:29] yuki**
Yes. But I'm not doing
it to defeat the Empire.
**[14:32] yuki**
I want to disable all of the world's weapons,
**[14:36] yuki**
so that we'll never have war again.
**[14:41] yuki**
I've seen so much of it...
**[14:43] yuki**
People dying because of me...
**[14:47] yuki**
People dying for me...
**[14:51] yuki**
I never want it to happen again.
**[14:54] yuki**
So I...
**[14:57] stel**
Even if you do get rid of the weapons,
**[14:59] stel**
the same thing will happen again.
**[15:01] stel**
People will kill each other.
**[15:03] yuki**
But if we don't do anything,
**[15:06] yuki**
more and more people will
die because of the chrars!
**[15:09] yuki**
It's not right!
**[15:12] yuki**
I know. I know it's not that simple,
**[15:15] yuki**
but I want to believe...
that humans are good.
**[15:22] yuki**
That they can stop fighting
and live together, smiling.
**[15:28] stel**
That's just what someone
raised in a palace would say.
**[15:33] stel**
I can't go along with it.
**[15:36] stel**
What would a princess know about our lives?
**[15:39] stel**
About the people forced to spend
their lives crawling in the dirt?
**[15:43] stel**
Stop the chrars, you say?
**[15:46] stel**
That's going to shut down
more than the weapons!
**[15:49] stel**
It'll mean losing all the energy
we need to live our lives!
**[15:52] stel**
Not everyone can endure a life like that!
**[15:55] stel**
Things will get harder than they are now!
**[15:58] yuki**
But it's better than losing
more people we care about!
**[16:06] stel**
*I don't want to admit it.*
**[16:11] stel**
*But...*
**[16:13] stel**
* somewhere in my heart, I've been*
* thinking the same thing as her...*
**[16:18] (Flashback) fb**
Please help her... Help Yuki.
**[16:31] yuki**
With passion and will, we can do anything.
**[16:35] yuki**
That's something...
someone I loved always said to me.
**[16:40] yuki**
I don't care if everyone
in the world hates me.
**[16:43] yuki**
I... I still...
**[16:55] stel**
*What do I do? To make a world...*
**[16:58] stel**
* A world where they don't have to fight...*
* Where they can smile...*
**[17:04] stel**
* If it's really possible to*
* make something like that...*
**[17:14] stel**
This will really shut them down?
**[17:17] yuki**
Why...
**[17:18] stel**
The person I owe my life to
said something to me, too:
**[17:21] stel**
"See them through."
**[17:24] stel**
I think I'll take my chances
**[17:26] stel**
to see what kind of future you'll bring us.
**[17:30] stel**
I'll be court-martialed
for this, to be sure...
**[17:32] yuki**
What's your name?
**[17:36] stel**
Stella.
**[17:38] stel**
Stella Shining.
**[17:43] yuki**
Thank you.
**[18:29] huey**
What's going on? Hey!
**[18:34] yuni**
Princess Yuki...
**[21:04] emp**
Please sign the terms of armistice.
**[21:08] yuki**
Summer has come.
**[21:10] yuki**
The shutdown of the chrars
has restored the crops.
**[21:14] stel**
But the world is still in chaos.
**[21:19] yuki**
The people who escaped Hariant are
gradually returning to the city.
**[21:25] stel**
The members of the Buerger Squad
have all begun walking new paths.
**[21:34] yuni**
We've received a request from the Empire.
**[21:37] yuni**
They're asking if we have any documents
left from the migration era,
**[21:39] yuni**
and if we can make them public.
**[21:41] lune**
It's certainly tempting to go back
to pre-chrars technology, but...
**[21:45] james**
We must be as careful as possible.
**[21:47] james**
We can't afford to make
the same mistakes again.
**[21:53] yuki**
Please, watch over us, everyone.
**[21:58] stel**
Regardless of the resentments
of the past, just as you wished,
**[22:04] stel**
we're going to live on, hand in hand.
**[22:08] lily**
Welcome!
**[22:09] lily**
Thanks for coming all this way!
**[22:13] man**
What's this?
**[22:14] man**
It's weird!
**[22:16] yuki**
Cute, isn't it?
**[22:17] lily**
Yeah, it is! I want one, too!
**[22:21] lily**
Um...
**[22:22] lily**
Thank you for your intervention
with the military command.
**[22:27] yuki**
You mean, about Stella?
**[22:29] lily**
Yes.
**[22:30] lily**
Her punishment was minimal, thanks to you.
**[22:33] lily**
She's off doing service
with the security team now
**[22:36] lily**
because they're so short-handed...
**[22:38] man**
Here, a thank-you.
**[22:40] man**
Enjoy it with the children.
**[22:42] stel**
Not at all.
**[22:44] stel**
And thank you, as always.
**[22:53] stel**
It's been a long time.
**[22:54] stel**
Thank you for talking to the army for me.
**[22:57] yuki**
Well, we need you to see
them through, after all.
**[23:04] stel**
That reminds me...
**[23:05] yuki**
Yes.
**[23:07] yuki**
They're blooming beautifully, aren't they?
**[23:10] yuki**
Ours are, too.
**[23:15] yuki**
*This is the story of two girls...*
**[23:20] stella**
*...born on a planet...*
**[23:30] both**
*...far, far away.*
