    They're not the Order.
[01:38] fb
    A margrave army, maybe?
[01:40] fb
    You think they're deserting?
[01:42] fb
    That's the old Verde territory ahead...
[01:45] fb
    We can't let them escape!
[01:52] fb
    I guess we can't shake them off.
[01:54] fb
    You go on. We'll hold them off.
[01:58] fb
    Princess Yuki.
[02:00] fb
    Get away from the window.
[02:02] fb
    O-Okay.
[02:09] fb
    Hey. Wasn't that...
[02:13] fb
    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.

[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.
