[00:03] Leon
    All right, who's next?
[00:10] Enemy Soldier
    Damn it! How's he so fast?
[00:12] Leon
    I wonder!
[00:16] Luxion
    The Partner will begin 
    rescuing passengers now.
[00:24] Chris
    Prioritize the injured!
    Everyone is to evacuate!
[00:27] Deirdre
    Well fought, everyone! Now hurry!
[00:30] Leon
    This has been one crazy school trip.
[00:33] Leon
    Once everyone's aboard the Partner, 
    send it away from the battlefield.
[00:45] Luxion
    Master, a new enemy has appeared.
[00:48] Luxion
    It's a black Armor.
[00:49] Luxion
    I believe it's an elite enemy troop.
[00:51] Leon
    Black Armor?
[00:53] Leon
    Could it be...
[00:56] Leon
    The Black Knight?

[02:33] Hertrude
    Vandel! But why?
[02:35] Angelica
    The Black Knight showed up here?
[02:39] Olivia
    Who is this Black Knight?
[02:41] Angelica
    A knight of the principality who's been
    feared since before we were born.
[02:46] Angelica
    He single-handedly sank dozens
    of the kingdom's warships.
[02:50] Olivia
    Is it possible for Mr. Leon to
    defeat such a powerful knight?
[02:56] Luxion
    Activating drones.
[03:06] Leon
    This guy must be using cheats.
[03:08] Luxion
    His Armor is far superior
    to any we've faced so far.
[03:13] Leon
    This is gonna be tough.
[03:18] Leon
    Can't dodge this!
[03:19] Vandel
    Pointless.
[03:25] Vandel
    You're so young.
[03:27] Vandel
    You can barely handle those
    weapons you're using.
[03:29] Leon
    Luxion, stow the rifle and blade.
[03:33] Luxion
    What will you use next?
[03:36] Leon
    My bare hands.
[03:40] Duchy Knight
    You fool!
[03:42] Leon
    Who's the fool?
[03:44] Luxion
    Impact.
[03:47] Luxion
    Master, behind you.
[03:50] Vandel
    Begone.
[03:58] Chris
    Is that the Black Knight?
[04:01] Chris
    Marie, I'm sorry. This is the end.
[04:06] Leon
    Damn it!
[04:10] Chris
    He can still fight?
[04:12] Leon
    Jeez.
[04:14] Leon
    Nobody told me he could
    pierce Arroganz's armor.
[04:17] Luxion
    Armor performance down 30%.
[04:19] Luxion
    Strain on pilot increasing.
[04:21] Luxion
    I recommend we withdraw.
[04:23] Leon
    No way.
[04:24] Luxion
    This is what you get for not
    taking the lives of your enemies.
[04:28] Luxion
    They've been forced into a position
    where they can't retreat.
[04:32] Leon
    Rub it in, why don't you?
[04:34] Vandel
    Boy, you'll rue being born in the kingdom.
[04:38] Leon
    Normally, I totally would've run by now, but...
[04:42] (Flashback) Angelica
    Leon, the rest is up to you.
[04:45] (Flashback) Olivia
    Promise you'll come back.
[04:49] Luxion
    Requesting permission to utilize main ship.
[04:51] Leon
    Denied. We'd end up killing the Black Knight.
[04:55] Luxion
    I don't understand you.
[05:04] Leon
    Don't underestimate Arroganz's toughness!
[05:07] Leon
    My Armor is leagues better than his!
[05:09] Luxion
    And his piloting skills are
    leagues better than yours.
[05:20] Vandel
    I mustn't lose to a knight of the kingdom.
[05:25] Leon
    You must be pretty old, right?
[05:28] Leon
    Why are you so determined to fight?
[05:30] Vandel
    Because it's my duty.
[05:33] Leon
    Your duty?
[05:36] Vandel
    As a knight of the principality,
    I fight for the principality.
[05:42] Vandel
    I am simply fulfilling my duty.
[05:46] Vandel
    That's what it means to live.
[05:50] Leon
    For the most part, I agree.
[05:52] Leon
    But...
[05:55] Leon
    For the present moment, even if it means
    acting beyond my responsibilities,
[05:58] Leon
    I'm gonna do what I want to do!
[06:00] Vandel
    You think you can stop me?
[06:02] Leon
    Yeah, I'll beat you!
[06:05] Leon
    Damn! I fell for a classic move!
[06:14] Vandel
    What?
[06:16] Vandel
    Have you thrown the battle?
[06:18] Leon
    No, I win.
[06:24] Vandel
    What? How is it still moving?
[06:31] Leon
    Arroganz is part of Luxion.
[06:34] Leon
    And I'm proud to say I purchased
    Luxion as a microtransaction.
[06:40] Leon
    It's over. Surrender.
[06:43] Vandel
    No. Kill me.
[06:46] Leon
    I'm trying to kill as few people as possible.
[06:49] Vandel
    Don't be ridiculous.
[06:52] Luxion
    Master, the Partner has brought the 
    surrounding area under control.
[06:57] Leon
    Nice work. I knew you could do it.
[07:05] Leon
    Seriously? What a sore loser.
[07:09] Galett
    I have no choice but to erase everything.
[07:12] Galett
    It's the only way to make sure
    I don't go down in history
[07:15] Galett
    as an incompetent and beardless
    man who lost to a child.
[07:19] Angelica
    What is that light?
[07:21] Hertrude
    It's a special signal flare.
[07:24] Hertrude
    It's far superior to even my own magic
    for simply gathering monsters.
[07:28] Galett
    Come, monsters!
[07:31] Galett
    Destroy it all!
[07:38] Leon
    It's quite a magnificent sight to
    see so many of them in one place.
[07:41] Vandel
    Unfortunately, it seems you've no choice
    but to be destroyed along with us.
[07:46] Leon
    Luxion, you've got this, right?
[07:49] Luxion
    Is it finally my turn to do something?
[08:10] Hertrude
    I-I don't believe it.
[08:12] Vandel
    What's happening?
[08:15] Leon
    You're not the only ones who
    had an ace up their sleeve.
[08:20] Leon
    Once you've returned to
    your principality, make sure
[08:23] Leon
    you tell them just how strong the kingdom is.
[08:26] Vandel
    You're not going to take my head as a trophy?
[08:29] Leon
    Who needs an old man's head?
     Talk about creepy.
[08:32] Leon
    Oh, but I will be taking your sword.
[08:36] Vandel
    Boy, someday your naïveté
    will be your undoing.
[08:40] Vandel
    Don't forget that.
[08:41] Leon
    Huh?
[08:46] Leon
    You sure do talk big for someone
    who was spared by my kindness.
[08:51] Leon
    Looks like you don't get it, old man.
[08:54] Vandel
    What?!
[08:56] Leon
    You're already finished.
[08:59] Leon
    Don't you get it? You lost to a civilian ship.
[09:03] Leon
    One carrying students, no less.
[09:06] Leon
    But you were defeated by us.
[09:08] Leon
    Do you know what that means?
[09:11] Vandel
    You continue to insult me, you vile—
[09:14] Leon
    A bunch of grown-ass men fought their
    hardest against some children and lost.
[09:18] Leon
    Do you really think there
    will be a next time for you?
[09:23] Leon
    Look, old man, just retire already.
[09:26] Leon
    In fact, retiring is your only choice.
[09:28] Leon
    Your era has ended.
    Thank you for your service.
[09:33] Vandel
    You fiend! Are you telling
    us to live with our shame?!
[09:38] Leon
    Don't losers have to do what
    winners tell them to do?
[09:42] Leon
    Yeah, keep on living, even if it's in disgrace.
[09:50] Galett
    Baron Bartfort, please have mercy.
[09:55] Leon
    I don't know.
[09:58] Leon
    I think I'll take any Armors that still work,
[10:00] Leon
    and warships and airships
    that are still in good shape.
[10:05] Leon
    The rest are floating hunks of stone.
[10:07] Leon
    I'll break down any non-mobile airships
    and take every last bit of them, too.
[10:12] Luxion
    This is more like you, Master.
    How absolutely heartless.
[10:16] Leon
    Right? I kind of like this side of me, too.
[10:20] Galett
    W-Wait! Perhaps we should hold official
    negotiations between our nations...
[10:26] Leon
    Why should I have to make
    any concessions when we won?
[10:29] Galett
    But...
[10:31] Leon
    Right?
[10:32] Galett
    But...
[10:34] Leon
    Right?
[10:36] Galett
    Y-Yes, sir.
[10:41] Luxion
    Master, it would have been easy for my
    main ship to defeat the Black Knight.
[10:47] Luxion
    Why did you bother fighting him?
[10:50] Leon
    Because you would've vaporized
    them in an instant.
[10:53] Leon
    But what happens after that?
[10:55] Luxion
    The world would perceive you as a threat.
[10:59] Luxion
    Not just the principality, but the kingdom
    would probably act on it, too.
[11:03] Leon
    Right? That sounds like a pain in the ass.
[11:06] Leon
    I'm already doing more than I should.
[11:08] Leon
    After all, I'm...
[11:10] Luxion
    A mob character, right?
[11:13] Leon
    That's right.
[11:16] Leon
    What's this about?
[11:18] Leon
    This is my room. Let me in.
[11:21] Leon
    I'm sleepy.
[11:24] Luxion
    Master, the two of them are in your room.
[11:27] Leon
    Huh?
[11:39] Leon
    What a precious sight.
[11:43] Leon
    But...
[11:47] Leon
    You should've told me they were sleeping!
[11:49] Leon
    Angie's dad is gonna kill me!
[11:51] Luxion
    They fell asleep while waiting for you.
[11:54] Luxion
    They must have been tired.
[11:56] Chris
    Bartfort.
[11:58] Leon
    Chris.
[12:00] Leon
    What do you want? You'd better
    not challenge me to another duel.
[12:03] Leon
    I'm exhausted.
[12:04] Chris
    You defeated the Black Knight.
    I'm surely beneath your notice.
[12:10] Chris
    But someday, I will catch up to you.
[12:13] Chris
    You are my goal.
[12:19] Leon
    Right, then. Like we did with the sky pirates,
[12:22] Leon
    I'm gonna force him to take
    credit for this incident.
[12:26] Angelica
    Study abroad?
[12:27] Angelica
    Are you sure you're not
    being too soft on them?
[12:30] Angelica
    Princess Hertrude invaded our nation.
[12:33] Gilbert
    More importantly, how is Leon doing?
[12:36] Angelica
    H-How is he...
[12:39] Gilbert
    He's been quite successful.
[12:41] Gilbert
    We can't have him marrying the wrong person.
[12:45] Angelica
    He has no romantic prospects.
[12:47] Angelica
    The girls never liked him to begin with.
[12:49] Gilbert
    That's what I don't understand.
[12:51] Gilbert
    How does a knight who continues
    to be promoted single-handedly
[12:53] Gilbert
    receive no attention from the girls?
[12:58] Leon
    Ah, this is paradise.
[13:06] Olivia
    It's so tasty.
[13:08] Angelica
    If you like cookies, I'll have some
    brought in from my favorite shop.
[13:12] Leon
    Tell me about the shop.
[13:14] Angelica
    No. I'm sure you'd buy their entire stock.
[13:17] Leon
    Aw, come on. All I'd do is eat their most
    popular products in front of the girls.
[13:22] Leon
    Or maybe hand them out to girls on diets.
[13:24] Angelica
    Don't.
[13:25] Olivia
    No. You mustn't. Bad!
[13:29] Angelica
    More importantly, Leon, you let Chris take
    credit for defeating the Black Knight.
[13:34] Olivia
    You did?
[13:36] Leon
    Ladies, that was a highly
    sophisticated political decision.
[13:43] Angelica
    Regarding Chris's family, the Arclights?
[13:46] Angelica
    True, this incident will force them
    to accept him back into the family.
[13:50] Olivia
    Mr. Leon, you really are a kind man after all.
[13:53] Leon
    Yeah, of course I am.
[13:55] Luxion
    Isn't that nice, Master?
[13:58] Olivia
    U-Um, there's something I've
    been wondering about.
[14:02] Angelica
    What is that thing?
[14:03] Leon
    Oh, uh...
[14:06] Leon
    This is Luxion, my familiar.
[14:08] Luxion
    I provide support for my master.
[14:11] Luxion
    I am not the product of
    magic, but rather science.
[14:14] Luxion
    I am an artificial intelligence with—
[14:16] Luxion
    Please don't touch my lens.
[14:19] Angelica
    It's rather charming.
[14:21] Olivia
    You're so cute, Lux.
[14:23] Luxion
    Lux?
[14:24] Leon
    Aw, what a nice nickname, Lux.
[14:29] Luxion
    If you have time to tease me, perhaps
    you should worry about yourself instead.
[14:35] Leon
    What do you mean?
[14:37] Luxion
    Those five appear to be plotting something.
[14:45] Marie
    Huh?
[14:47] Kyle
    What is this?
[14:48] Julius
    We will challenge Bartfort with this.
[14:51] Julius
    We'll defeat him and move forward.
[14:54] Marie
    How did you make this?
[14:57] Julius
    We gathered together the parts and
    spent sleepless nights working on it.
[15:01] Julius
    The materials cost a mere 500,000 dia.
[15:05] Marie
    They blew 500,000 dia on this piece of junk?
[15:08] Marie
    They must be crazy.
[15:11] Student
    I can't believe they're having a rematch.
[15:11] Student
    Handmade Armor, huh?
[15:13] Student
    This time the prince and his crew will win.
[15:13] Student
    They pulled all-nighters building it together.
[15:15] Angelica
    I've had just about enough of the prince.
[15:17] Angelica
    I feel sorry for Leon.
[15:19] Olivia
    I hope Mr. Leon doesn't get hurt.
[15:22] Olivia
    The award ceremony is tomorrow.
[15:25] Leon
    Don't meddle in their relationship
    with Marie if they win, huh?
[15:30] Leon
    What do they think our previous duel was for?
[15:33] Luxion
    Why didn't you refuse to duel them?
[15:35] Leon
    I figured I'd lose to them.
[15:38] Luxion
    Lose? But why?
[15:40] Leon
    If they're so desperate to be
    with Marie, then I'll let them.
[15:44] Leon
    When I thought about it, I realized
    Livia was too good for them.
[15:49] Luxion
    Took you long enough.
[15:51] Leon
    There's no such thing as too late.
[15:55] Greg
    You're sure you're okay with me piloting it?
[15:57] Brad
    I hate to admit it, but I can't beat him.
[15:59] Chris
    I'm only good with swords. I can't do it.
[16:01] Jilk
    We're trusting you with all our hopes.
[16:04] Julius
    You've got the best chance of doing it.
[16:06] Julius
    Get out there and beat Bartfort.
[16:08] Greg
    Sure thing!
[16:11] Luxion
    Their friendship is so refreshing.
[16:14] Leon
    They sure do like to rub it in, don't they?
[16:16] Leon
    Now, let's go lose.
[16:21] Ref
    Begin!
[16:26] Greg
    What's wrong, Bartfort?
[16:28] Greg
    Hit me with everything you've got!
[16:30] Leon
    Wow, you're all fired up.
    Are you a hot-blooded guy?
[16:34] Luxion
    Master, please tell Greg to
    exit his Armor immediately.
[16:37] Luxion
    That junkpile is about to explode.
[16:40] Leon
    What? No way.
[16:41] Luxion
    The interior was assembled haphazardly.
[16:43] Luxion
    Internal temperatures are abnormally high.
[16:45] Luxion
    I can only say I'm impressed it's
    moving at all given the circumstances.
[16:48] Leon
    So it's out of control, huh?
[16:51] Leon
    Hey, there's something wrong with your Armor!
[16:54] Leon
    Get out of it!
[16:55] Greg
    You're trying to trick me, aren't you?
[16:57] Leon
    No, listen to me!
[16:59] Student
    Go!
[17:00] Student
    You can do it!
[17:01] Student
    Get him!
[17:01] Leon
    Damn it. Ref, stop the fight!
[17:03] Leon
    There's something wrong with his Armor!
[17:05] Ref
    Bartfort, you disgrace yourself.
[17:08] Ref
    Why can't you face their feelings head-on?
[17:11] Leon
    Don't be absurd! Why don't you start
    by facing my words head-on, huh?
[17:14] Luxion
    You reap what you sow.
[17:16] Luxion
    You make things difficult for yourself
    by behaving terribly all the time.
[17:19] Leon
    Whatever. Help me figure
    out how to deal with this.
[17:21] Luxion
    Analysis complete.
[17:23] Luxion
    We can destroy the Armor
    without causing an explosion.
[17:25] Leon
    Destroy it? You're kidding, right?
[17:28] Leon
    Even I'd feel bad about that!
[17:29] Greg
    Keep your head in the fight!
[17:30] Luxion
    Then the Armor will explode, killing Greg.
[17:33] Leon
    Hey!
[17:33] Julius
    Go on, Greg!
[17:35] Jilk
    That's it!
[17:36] Brad
    He's driving him back!
[17:37] Chris
    Show him how strong you are!
[17:39] Greg
    This is the end!
[17:41] Luxion
    Master, we're out of time.
[17:43] Leon
    You guys suck for making me do this!
[17:48] Luxion
    Impact.
[17:55] Leon
    I'm so done.
[17:59] Brad
    Greg!
[17:59] Ref
    Bartfort wins.
[18:00] Jilk
    Again?
[18:01] Chris
    I suppose I'm not surprised.
[18:03] Julius
    Next time we'll beat him.
[18:05] Marie
    No! My 500,000 dia!
[18:11] Leon
    I didn't want to break it, but everyone
    keeps treating me like trash.
[18:17] Raymond
    Come on, pull yourself together.
[18:20] Daniel
    You'll ruin the ceremony.
[18:22] Leon
    Why are we in full dress, anyway?
[18:24] Leon
    This award ceremony is just for
[18:26] Leon
    handing out participation awards to the
    students who fought the principality, right?
[18:30] Daniel
    What? Nobody told you?
[18:33] Raymond
    You're being awarded a real
    distinguished service medal
[18:35] Raymond
    for capturing the principality's princess.
[18:38] Leon
    Huh?
[18:39] Angelica
    Leon, what are you doing?
[18:41] Angelica
    The ceremony is starting.
[18:44] Leon
    No! I don't wanna go!
[18:46] Angelica
    Hurry it up. My father and
    brother are in attendance.
[18:50] Angelica
    I want to properly introduce you to them.
[18:52] Leon
    Introduce me? Why?
[18:54] Angelica
    B-Because...
[18:56] Angelica
    Never mind. Just hurry up.
[19:04] Leon
    This is a dream.
[19:07] Leon
    When I wake up, I'll be
    at the entrance ceremony
[19:09] Leon
    marking the start of my life at the academy.
[19:10] Leon
    While whining about how
    hard it is to find a wife,
[19:13] Leon
    I'll study the way of tea under
    my master and buy a new tea set.
[19:18] Lucas
    Leon Fou Bartfort, for
    your meritorious deeds,
[19:23] Lucas
    you are granted the title of viscount.
[19:25] Lucas
    This distinguished service award comes with
    recommendations from the royal family,
[19:29] Lucas
    the Redgrave family, the Field family,
    the Seberg family, the Arclight family,
[19:34] Lucas
    the Atlee family, and the Roseblade family.
[19:39] Lucas
    Do not forget to be
    grateful on this occasion.
[19:42] Leon
    I can't do that! Not even for you, Master!
[19:50] Marie
    What does he think he's doing?
    He's just a mob character.
[19:54] Marie
    You just watch.
[19:55] Marie
    I'll acquire the Saint's remaining items
    and completely become the protagonist!
[20:02] Leon
    I can't be a viscount.
[20:05] Leon
    I was supposed to live a carefree
    life as a back country baronet.
[20:16] Olivia
    Mr. Leon, you were wonderful.
[20:19] Leon
    Livia...
[20:20] Olivia
    U-Um...
[20:22] Leon
    Y-Yes?
[20:24] Olivia
    You've been avoiding me, haven't you?
[20:27] Leon
    I just... didn't know what to say to you.
[20:36] Olivia
    I know this may be an inconvenience for you,
[20:40] Olivia
    but I meant what I said then.
[20:44] Leon
    It's no inconvenience at all. I just...
[20:49] Olivia
    Someday, I hope you'll tell me your answer.
[20:53] Leon
    Livia...
[20:58] Olivia
    Come on. Angie's waiting for us.
[21:03] Leon
    Maybe it's time for me to steel my resolve.
[21:12] Leon
    I may be a mob character,
    but I still want to be with them.
[21:15] Leon
    No matter how tough the
    world of otome games is...
[21:22] Luxion
    Master, you and Marie are quite similar.
[21:25] Leon
    Huh?
[21:26] Luxion
    Both of you used knowledge
    from your previous lives
[21:30] Luxion
    to get close to the protagonist
    and romantic interests.
[21:32] Luxion
    From my perspective, you're the same.
[21:36] Leon
    You think I'm the same as Marie?
[21:38] Luxion
    As far as I'm concerned,
    it's a trivial matter.
[21:41] Luxion
    Go ahead and be as friendly with
    Olivia and Angelica as you'd like.
[21:45] Leon
    How do you expect me to do
    that after what you've said?
[21:48] Luxion
    Your indecisiveness brought
    about this undesired result.
[21:54] Luxion
    Though you could also say it's
    what I'd expect from you.
[21:56] Olivia
    Mr. Leon, hurry.
[21:58] Angelica
    How long are you going to make us wait?
[22:01] Leon
    I wish I had a more
    pure-hearted, honest partner.
[22:04] Luxion
    I could say the same thing, Master.
