    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!

    They're gonna take us out!
[01:47] stel
    Break!

    I'm still good!

    You guys, withdraw!

[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...

    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!

    We're being pursued!

    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!
