[00:04] Olivia
    As long as I communicate my feelings,
    I'm sure even Angie and I can be friends.
[00:10] Olivia
    Yes?
[00:16] Carla
    Do you have a minute?
[00:19] Carla
    I know I asked you to mediate
    between me and Bartfort,
[00:22] Carla
    but I'd actually like you
    to get involved, too.
[00:25] Carla
    You apparently have good grades.
     I'm sure there's some way you can help.
[00:29] Olivia
    I-I wanted to talk to you about that.
[00:31] Olivia
    I did introduce you to him,
    but I've changed my mind.
[00:34] Olivia
    I'd prefer you not involve Mr. Leon in—
[00:38] Stephanie
    You'll play along, won't you, commoner?

[02:19] Stephanie
    If you refuse to help me, I'll make
    everyone around you miserable,
[02:23] Stephanie
    including that shithead Bartfort
    and that haughty Angelica.
[02:28] Stephanie
    I'll send Carla to meet you tomorrow.
[02:30] Stephanie
    You'd better get your shit together,
    too, or your family is screwed.
[02:34] Carla
    Y-Yes, ma'am.
[02:36] Olivia
    Th-This is wrong.
[02:39] Stephanie
    What?
[02:40] Olivia
    M-Mr. Leon and Angie are both strong people.
[02:45] Olivia
    Even if you threatened them,
    I'm sure they wouldn't give in.
[02:48] Stephanie
    Nobles don't have friends.
    Angelica knows that better than anyone.
[02:54] Stephanie
    You're just a pet she keeps around
    to soothe her broken heart.
[02:57] Stephanie
    Do you not understand that?
[02:59] Olivia
    You're wrong!
[03:00] Stephanie
    No, I'm not.
[03:01] Olivia
    I-I'm not a pet. I'm a human!
[03:07] Stephanie
    But if you're friends, that
    means you're equals, right?
[03:13] Stephanie
    Bartfort is also a noble and
    has some modest achievements.
[03:17] Stephanie
    Angelica is a true-bred noble with
    both financial and political power.
[03:21] Stephanie
    And you think you're their equal?
[03:25] Olivia
    I-I...
[03:27] Stephanie
    You can't tell me I'm wrong, can you?
    So you're not friends after all.
[03:31] Stephanie
    No matter how much you pretend, you're
    just a precious little companion animal.
[03:38] Stephanie
    Oh, I know.
[03:39] Stephanie
    Bartfort is probably just after your body.
[03:43] Stephanie
    He must be going after commoners
    because none of the girls like him.
[03:46] Olivia
    Mr. Leon isn't that kind of person!
[03:48] Stephanie
    Then try taking your clothes
    off and coming on to him.
[03:50] Stephanie
    He'll jump at the chance.
[03:54] Stephanie
    Anyway, you're rather impudent.
[03:56] Stephanie
    I can't believe you thought you were
[03:58] Stephanie
    on equal footing with us just
    because you got into the academy.
[04:03] Stephanie
    You need to be punished.
[04:09] Luxion
    Sky pirates?
[04:11] Leon
    Yeah. They're rampaging through
    that Carla girl's land.
[04:14] Leon
    She wants me to get rid of them
    because of my prior achievements.
[04:18] Luxion
    Shouldn't she ask the royal palace for help?
[04:22] Leon
    I'm sure she would normally,
[04:25] Leon
    but those sky pirates have an item
    essential to the protagonist.
[04:30] Leon
    The protagonist, Livia, needs three
    items to eventually awaken her powers
[04:35] Leon
    as the Saint.
[04:37] Leon
    One is the Holy Bracelet hidden
    in the palace dungeon.
[04:42] Leon
    Then there's the Holy Necklace in
    the possession of the sky pirates,
[04:45] Leon
    whom I've been asked to get rid of.
[04:47] Leon
    Finally, there's the Holy Staff
    watched over by the kingdom's temple.
[04:51] Leon
    Normally, the sky pirate event occurs
    two and a half years into the story,
[04:54] Leon
    during the climax of the middle of the game.
[04:56] Leon
    The route splits here according to
    who the protagonist asks for help.
[05:01] Leon
    But behind Carla's request
    is that count's daughter.
[05:07] Luxion
    Is she like Angelica?
[05:10] Leon
    Nah, she's scum.
[05:13] Leon
    So scummy that even I'm repulsed.
    She's truly vile in person.
[05:18] Leon
    I hoped she'd turn out to actually be
    decent like Angie, but that was wasted hope.
[05:23] Leon
    Anyway, she's also the one who
    lured the sky pirates there.
[05:26] Leon
    In other words, the protagonist gets dragged
    into a fabricated sky pirate crisis.
[05:32] Luxion
    Why would she do that?
[05:34] Leon
    Simple jealousy.
[05:36] Leon
    She doesn't like how Livia's
[05:37] Leon
    been slowly establishing herself
    despite being a commoner,
[05:40] Leon
    so she asks her to take out the sky pirates.
[05:43] Leon
    But it looks like I angered her first.
[05:48] Leon
    I can think of plenty of reasons why.
[05:50] Luxion
    Are you not prioritizing
    game benefits too much?
[05:54] Luxion
    There are few real benefits
    to you doing this.
[05:57] Leon
    I'm just a mob character. I want to avoid
    the game's events as much as possible.
[06:02] Leon
    But the key romantic interests—the prince
    and his friends—are totally useless.
[06:08] Leon
    And I don't want to go down the war route.
[06:11] Luxion
    Master, based on what you've told me,
    I believe Olivia should resolve this issue.
[06:17] Leon
    Livia can't handle it right now.
[06:19] Leon
    So I'll do it for her.
    It's more efficient this way.
[06:24] Luxion
    But won't this make you
    Olivia's romantic interest?
[06:29] Leon
    Me? That won't happen.
    After all, I'm a mob character.
[06:34] Luxion
    He doesn't seem to have realized it yet.
[06:37] Luxion
    Because he's overprotective of her,
    he's robbing Olivia of opportunities to grow.
[06:46] Leon
    Luxion.
[06:48] Luxion
    What is it, Master?
[06:51] Leon
    Is the Partner ready?
[06:53] Luxion
    Yes, it's ready to set sail anytime.
[06:56] Luxion
    The sky pirates don't
    stand a chance against it.
[06:59] Leon
    The Partner is the ship Luxion built.
[07:02] Leon
    Its exterior and interior are both built so
[07:05] Leon
    they don't appear out of place in this world.
[07:08] Leon
    Apparently its capabilities
    are quite impressive.
[07:15] Carla
    Baron, good morning.
[07:18] Carla
    Thank you for waiting.
[07:20] Leon
    How sneaky. Does she think I didn't notice?
[07:26] Leon
    Livia...
[07:28] Leon
    Did she fail to reconcile with Angie?
[07:31] Carla
    I've actually asked a couple other people
    to help deal with the sky pirates.
[07:36] Leon
    Huh?
[07:37] Carla
    Oh, they're here.
[07:41] All
    Ugh!
[07:45] Leon
    This sucks. Why do I have to let these
    punks onto my precious Partner?
[07:51] Greg
    Who are you calling punks?
[07:53] Brad
    You are truly unpleasant, aren't you?
[07:55] Carla
    I-I'm sorry. I reached out to them, as well.
[08:00] Brad
    Carla serves my ex-fiancée,
    the Offrey family's daughter.
[08:05] Brad
    She may be my ex, but I cannot
    ignore her follower's request for help.
[08:10] Brad
    And the pay I'll receive for defeating
    sky pirates with bounties on their heads
[08:13] Brad
    will help Marie.
[08:15] Greg
    When I heard about that,
    I decided to join in.
[08:18] Leon
    With a single spear?
[08:21] Greg
    I can't help it. My Armor was taken from me.
[08:24] Greg
    I can steal a new suit from the sky pirates.
[08:27] Leon
    Where are Dark Blue, Green, and Light Blue?
[08:29] Brad
    Don't call us by our colors!
[08:31] Brad
    The other three were called back home.
[08:34] Greg
    And because of that,
    I'm stuck accompanying Purple.
[08:37] Greg
    You know, because he's so unreliable.
[08:38] Brad
    Shut up, meathead! I wish Chris
    had come with me instead!
[08:43] Greg
    What was that?!
[08:46] Leon
    What did these two intend to do on their own?
[08:49] Carla
    I-In any case, let's work
    together to get this done.
[08:53] Carla
    Come on, Ms. Olivia.
    Ask them to work together, too.
[08:59] Leon
    Livia...
[09:05] Angelica
    Will Livia like this?
[09:08] Angelica
    If Leon were around, I could've
    asked him about her preferences.
[09:13] Angelica
    What is this?
[09:15] Angelica
    Livia! It's me, Angelica!
[09:18] Angelica
    Livia, are you there?
[09:20] Stephanie
    Well, if it isn't Angelica.
[09:27] Angelica
    You again?
[09:29] Stephanie
    She must really hate you.
[09:32] Angelica
    Sorry, but I don't have time for you.
[09:36] Stephanie
    You came all the way here to get
    your pet? You must adore her.
[09:40] Angelica
    What are you trying to say?
[09:42] Stephanie
    Angelica, you need to keep your
    cute little pet tightly leashed.
[09:47] Stephanie
    It'd be so sad if she were to die.
[09:49] Stephanie
    I had your pet accompany that back country
    baron on his sky pirate hunting.
[09:55] Stephanie
    She seemed rather dejected.
    Do you suppose they'll be all right?
[10:00] Angelica
    I knew it. You're behind the sky pirates.
[10:04] Follower A
    M-My lady!
[10:06] Angelica
    Stay out of my way.
[10:08] Angelica
    I'll crush you.
[10:11] Stephanie
    Let go of me!
[10:13] Stephanie
    Who do you think you are, you fallen noble?
[10:15] Angelica
    Say whatever you want.
[10:17] Angelica
    But you've made a move on Livia.
[10:21] Angelica
    I will end you.
[10:29] Stephanie
    What's wrong with her?
[10:32] Angelica
    I need to contact Leon immediately.
[10:34] Angelica
    No, it would be quicker for
    me to head there myself.
[10:38] Angelica
    Livia...
[10:44] Mylene
    Julius, you don't understand
    your own position.
[10:49] Mylene
    There isn't a single airship
    at your command right now.
[10:53] Julius
    But Mother, defeating sky
    pirates is a noble's job.
[10:58] Julius
    Greg and Brad are working
    with Bartfort right now.
[11:01] Mylene
    What? Leon is?
[11:04] Julius
    M-Mother! Please come to your senses!
[11:07] Mylene
    I-In any case, you can't go.
[11:10] Mylene
    Let Baron Bartfort handle this matter.
[11:13] Julius
    Wh-Why is he allowed when I'm not?
[11:17] Mylene
    Your failure to understand that
    is why I can't let you go.
[11:32] Leon
    I win.
[11:35] Greg
    You're kidding! You cheated!
[11:37] Brad
    This is impossible!
[11:39] Leon
    That's what losers always say.
[11:42] Leon
    Yeah, I did cheat, though.
[11:45] Leon
    Luxion made these cards with shifting faces.
[11:47] Leon
    I'll be taking all their money
    in place of airfare.
[11:51] Brad
    Challenging this guy to a
    respectable contest was a mistake.
[11:55] Greg
    Absolutely.
[11:57] Greg
    Hey, Brad.
[11:59] Brad
    Hmm?
[12:01] Greg
    What kind of girl is your
    ex-fiancée, Stephanie Offrey?
[12:07] Brad
    I only met her a few times
    before we were engaged,
[12:11] Brad
    and I talked to her only a
    handful of times at the academy.
[12:15] Leon
    So it was a typical political marriage, then.
[12:19] Greg
    Honestly, she's got a bad reputation.
    They say she's quite the party girl.
[12:23] Brad
    But the Offreys played a major
    role in securing diplomatic ties
[12:26] Brad
    with the Principality of Fanoss.
[12:29] Brad
    Because of that, we don't have
    to fear the Black Knight.
[12:33] Leon
    The Black Knight...
[12:34] Leon
    He's the strongest knight of the
    neighboring Principality of Fanoss.
[12:39] Leon
    He killed me a bunch of times in the game.
[12:42] Brad
    My family is responsible for defending
    the border along the Principality.
[12:47] Brad
    Because of the Offreys' achievements,
    I couldn't refuse an engagement to her.
[12:52] Greg
    I'm surprised you were able to call it off.
[12:54] Brad
    There was a pretty big fight about it.
[12:57] Brad
    Ms. Carla hinted at calling
    off the engagement
[13:00] Brad
    when she asked me to help
    deal with the sky pirates.
[13:03] Greg
    Marriage is rough.
[13:06] Greg
    I only met my ex-fiancée a few times, too.
[13:10] Leon
    These romantic interests receive
    all sorts of special treatment,
[13:14] Leon
    but they've got a lot to deal with, too.
[13:18] Luxion
    Master, the welcoming party has arrived.
[13:21] Luxion
    Two sky pirate ships are approaching.
[13:26] Leon
    Time for work, you two. Get to it.
[13:32] Leon
    I'm telling you to get ready
    because enemies are coming!
[13:36] Brad
    Th-They are?
[13:38] Greg
    Get ready how?
[13:39] Leon
    Are you guys serious?
[13:42] Leon
    Forget it. Just wait inside the ship.
[13:45] Brad
    J-Just wait?
[13:47] Greg
    Let us fight, too!
[13:49] Leon
    Luxion, activate Arroganz.
[13:52] Luxion
    Yes, Master.
[13:58] Pirate A
    Looks like a pretty big one.
[14:00] Pirate A
    The boss will be delighted if we
    can get our hands on that ship.
[14:04] Pirate B
    Are there really only five kids on the ship?
[14:07] Pirate A
    Yeah. Three guys and two women.
[14:10] Pirate A
    The blue-haired girl is on our side,
    so you'd better not touch her.
[14:13] Pirate A
    Come on, boys. Let's show them
    what a real fight looks like!
[14:17] All
    Yeah!
[14:19] Pirate C
    Yahoo!
[14:23] Pirate A
    Today should be an easy day
    thanks to those dumb kids.
[14:28] Pirate A
    Huh? What's that Armor?
[14:34] Leon
    These pirates are Winged Sharks, right?
[14:38] Leon
    They're low-level grunts,
    but there's a main force elsewhere.
[14:42] Pirate A
    That's a pretty outdated model.
[14:44] Pirate A
    What he can do all by himself?
[14:47] Pirate C
    Here he comes.
[14:50] Pirate C
    What?!
[14:56] Pirate D
    Why, you...
[15:01] Pirate A
    Who the hell is this guy?!
[15:17] Pirate A
    What are you doing? Shoot him down!
[15:31] Brad
    No wonder we were no match for him.
[15:33] Greg
    We won't have a chance to steal any Armor.
[15:36] Greg
    So this is a real battle.
[15:39] Pirate A
    R-Retreat! Retreat! Bring us around! Turn!
[15:46] Luxion
    Firing missiles.
[15:54] Pirate B
    We're being bombarded! Details unknown!
[15:57] Pirate A
    Activate the magic barrier!
[15:59] Pirate B
    It was already up. He penetrated
    it with a single blast.
[16:02] Pirate A
    He what?!
[16:08] Pirate A
    We have to surrender. Raise the white flag.
[16:18] Pirate A
    Damn it! Who the hell are you guys?
[16:21] Brad
    Hey, give me a hand here, meathead.
[16:23] Greg
    I had no idea what real battles were like.
[16:28] Greg
    I was just a cocky kid.
[16:32] Leon
    I think we've disabled all of them.
[16:35] Luxion
    Wouldn't it have been
    quicker to shoot them down?
[16:38] Luxion
    Escorting them will take a
    considerable amount of effort.
[16:40] Leon
    Yeah, I don't have the mentality
    required to cheerily kill people.
[16:46] Luxion
    That may eventually cause you to fail.
[16:50] Leon
    Even so, I want to remain
    as normal as possible.
[16:56] Carla
    H-How?
[16:58] Carla
    How did they lose so easily?
[17:00] Carla
    At this rate, we'll arrive at my home!
[17:04] Carla
    Why can't I get in touch with them?
[17:07] Carla
    I haven't mentioned anything
    about this to my family!
[17:10] Carla
    I-I know. That commoner girl...
[17:13] Carla
    If I make this her fault...
[17:16] Carla
    Then Bartfort will surely forgive me.
[17:24] Leon
    The sun's starting to set earlier.
[17:28] Brad
    How can you be so calm?!
[17:30] Greg
    I have no idea whether
    you're amazing or useless!
[17:33] Leon
    Don't lose your heads. I'm in
    an uncomfortable position, too.
[17:36] Conrad
    Lower your guns.
[17:39] Conrad
    Ah, I thought so.
[17:42] Conrad
    Lord Brad, correct?
[17:44] Brad
    Huh? Yes...
[17:46] Conrad
    I am Conrad Fou Wayne, lord of this land.
[17:49] Conrad
    We met previously at Marquess Field's party.
[17:53] Brad
    Ah, yes. Sir Wayne.
[17:55] Leon
    He totally forgot who he was.
[17:57] Brad
    Why are we being surrounded?
[18:01] Brad
    We came here to help because your
    daughter requested our assistance.
[18:05] Conrad
    Carla requested your assistance?
[18:08] Carla
    H-He's mistaken. I simply went
    to discuss a matter with them,
[18:11] Carla
    and that girl blew it out of proportion.
[18:13] Olivia
    Huh?
[18:14] Conrad
    What's going on here?
[18:16] Olivia
    I-I...
[18:18] Leon
    Your daughter asked Livia
    for an introduction
[18:20] Leon
    because she wanted to request my assistance.
[18:24] Leon
    That's why we came to get
    rid of the sky pirates.
[18:26] Conrad
    And who are you?
[18:28] Brad
    He's Leon Fou Bartfort.
[18:31] Brad
    I'm sure you've heard rumors about him.
[18:32] Conrad
    M-My lord, forgive my insolence.
[18:36] Conrad
    But my land isn't threatened by sky pirates.
[18:41] Brad
    What do you mean?
[18:43] Carla
    I... It's not my fault!
[18:47] Carla
    It was that commoner!
[18:48] Leon
    Hey, don't try to pin this on Livia.
[18:51] Conrad
    I-I'm terribly sorry. My daughter
    seems to be confused.
[18:56] Leon
    Sir, your daughter invited us here.
    She promised to pay us.
[19:03] Leon
    You think you can dismiss
    this as a simple mistake?
[19:05] Leon
    This isn't a game.
[19:08] Conrad
    C-Carla, what is the meaning
    of this? Explain yourself!
[19:13] Carla
    I-I...
[19:19] Conrad
    I can't understand you if
    you're crying! What happened?
[19:22] Conrad
    Carla!
[19:30] Luxion
    That girl ended up telling us everything.
[19:34] Leon
    It took even less than I expected.
[19:36] Leon
    When I told her what the pirates had
    told me, she confessed to everything.
[19:41] (Flashback) Carla
    L-Lady Stephanie of the Offrey
    family ordered me to do it.
[19:46] Leon
    That said, there's still the
    main force of the sky pirates.
[19:50] Leon
    And we still haven't acquired
    the Saint item Livia needs.
[19:54] Luxion
    I believe there's a problem
    we need to resolve first.
[19:59] Leon
    Yeah, you're right.
[20:05] Leon
    I'm coming in.
[20:08] Leon
    Man, I'm beat.
[20:11] Leon
    Why don't we see how things go tomorrow
    and take things easy for a little while?
[20:20] Leon
    Livia—
[20:20] Olivia
    Mr. Leon, you're amazing.
[20:23] Olivia
    You resolve everything by yourself
    and can do everything yourself.
[20:27] Leon
    Huh?
[20:29] Leon
    A-Are you okay?
[20:32] Leon
    You look pale. Do you have a fever?
[20:37] Olivia
    Why are you so kind to me?
[20:41] Leon
    Uh... Because I...
[20:44] Olivia
    It doesn't make sense. I'm a commoner.
[20:48] Olivia
    Is there a reason for you to help me?
[20:55] Olivia
    Are you after my body?

    No!
[21:00] Olivia

[21:04] Leon
    Hey, what are you...
[21:06] Olivia
    Angie is pretty and a nobleman's daughter.
[21:12] Olivia

    Livia, I brought you some
    limited-edition sweets.

    Thank you.

[23:30] Olivia
    Thank you.

    These baked sweets are tasty, as well.
[23:31] Leon
    I've got tarts, too.
[23:32] Angelica
    And have some of this.
[23:33] Leon
    Would you like seconds?
