[00:01] Kuon
    I've been trying to be nice here.
[00:04] Kuon
    Most countries don't announce
    their wars. They just invade.
[00:07] Kuon
    And most countries wouldn't provide
    support for someone who invaded them.
[00:11] Kuon
    This was because even if
    you'd fallen from power,
[00:13] Kuon
    I still respected you as
    the princess of Yamato.
[00:17] Kuon
    But you didn't understand how kind I was being.
[00:20] Kuon
    And now you've proven your unworthiness.
[00:24] ---
    Take my advice: spend the rest
    of your days in peace here.
[00:31] Anju
    No!
[00:33] Anju
    No! No! No!
[00:35] Anju
    I'm... I'm taking them back!
[00:38] Anju
    Those days... That warmth!
[00:40] Anju
    The place we all shared...
[00:42] Nosuri
    Your Highness...
[00:43] Rulutieh
    Princess Anju...
[00:50] Kuon
    How sad.
[00:52] Kuon
    Words without power are meaningless.
[00:55] Kuon
    Especially if they're lies that don't
    even deceive the one who speaks them.

[02:40] Anju
    Do you... Do you know what it's like
    to have what you love stolen from you?!
[02:45] Anju
    To lose that warmth?!
[02:48] Haku
    Princess...
[03:00] Anju
    M-My body...
[03:06] Kuon
    I shook your brain just a little.
[03:09] Kuon
    Even as strong as you are, you won't
    be able to stand for a moment.
[03:15] Kuon
    You're going to go to sleep for a while.
[03:20] Haku
    That's enough.
[03:23] Haku
    I cannot allow this insult
    to proceed any further,
[03:24] Haku
    even if you are the Princess of Tuskur.
[03:28] Kuon
    Stay out of this.
[03:29] Kuon
    It doesn't involve you.
[03:36] Twins
    Master!
[03:37] Twins
    We'll join you...
[03:43] Kuon
    Didn't you hear me? You're interfering—
[03:49] Kuon
    Why...
[03:51] Kuon
    Why do you have that fan?
[03:54] Haku
    It belonged to a fallen friend.
[03:57] Kuon
    Friend?
[04:05] Kuon
    Friend?!
[04:16] Haku
    Her power is incredible...
[04:22] Kuon
    How dare you call him a friend?!
[04:24] Kuon
    You're not worthy to hold that fan!
[04:26] Kuon
    Friends always stand together,
[04:30] Kuon
    always have each other's backs,
    and always support each other.
[04:34] Kuon
    You failed to do that.
[04:38] Kuon
    You don't have the right to call him a friend!
[04:45] Nekone
    Brother!
[04:46] Nosuri
    Damn you!
[04:48] Nosuri
    Don't try to stop me, Ougi!
[04:49] Ougi
    Sister, we aren't the ones who decide
    if we're going to strike back.
[04:57] Ougi
    For now, let's believe in Oshtor.
[05:09] Haku
    The princess just went crazy!
[05:21] Kuon
    I respected you as a warrior.
[05:25] Kuon
    I thought that you were a true man of Yamato.
[05:28] Kuon
    But it seems I was wrong.
[05:31] Anju
    No...
[05:33] Anju
    Oshtor is...
[05:35] Haku
    Princess!
[05:37] Anju
    Why? Why can't I move?
[05:40] Kuon
    Enough. When you wake up next,
     it will all be over.
[05:48] Kuon
    Move.
[05:49] Kuon
    This is the end. Get out of the—
[05:51] Haku
    Nonsense.
[05:52] Haku
    The "end"? Ridiculous.
[05:55] Haku
    This hasn't ended at all.
[05:57] Kuon
    You're wasting your time.
[05:58] Kuon
    She's not hurt so badly
    that she can't stand up.
[06:01] Kuon
    Her spirit is broken, and she's stopped trying.
[06:09] Haku
    No, Her Highness will stand.
[06:13] Haku
    Yes, she is weak.
[06:16] Haku
    The Mikado's love spoiled her.
    She neglected her studies and her training.
[06:21] Haku
    She may seem a worthless fool to you.
[06:25] Haku
    But we know that no matter
    how dire things may be,
[06:30] Haku
    she cares for her nation and her
    people more than anyone.
[06:33] Haku
    That she wants to become stronger.
[06:35] Haku
    She will never abandon that desire.
[06:38] Haku
    Her heart is true.
[06:41] Haku
    And before too much longer,
    she will achieve her goal.
[06:46] Haku
    So until she does, I will
    be her sword and shield.
[06:52] Kuon
    And that's your answer?
[06:54] Kuon
    Fine words, but look at the reality.
[07:00] Anju
    I can't move... My body won't move...
[07:03] Anju
    I'm shaming myself in front of everyone.
[07:07] Anju
    I'm not worthy to lead them...
[07:12] Nosuri
    Your Highness...
[07:14] Rulutieh
    Princess Anju...
[07:16] Kuon
    Your loyalties lie with the Mikado of Yamato.
[07:20] Kuon
    Not with this girl.
[07:25] Haku
    You wouldn't understand.
    You don't need anyone's help.
[07:38] Haku
    "Not worthy," huh?
[07:43] Haku
    I know exactly what he'd say.
[07:46] Haku
    "So what?"
[07:49] Anju
    Osh...tor?
[07:51] Haku
    This is nothing new.
[07:54] Haku
    We've all known for a long
    time that you're a wimp.
[07:57] Haku
    And since we all know, why should you care?
[08:01] Kuon
    Ukon?
[08:03] Haku
    And what's wrong with that?
[08:05] Haku
    Nobody's perfect. A little bit of
    helplessness just makes us love you more.
[08:11] Anju
    But then I can't...
[08:13] Haku
    Princess.
[08:17] Haku
    Everyone here loves you.
    They're worried about you.
[08:22] Haku
    They stayed here for your sake.
[08:26] Haku
    So what does it matter
    if you stumbled and fell?
[08:29] Haku
    You're not alone. All of us
    are with you. It'll be fine.
[08:35] Haku
    And if it turns out it's not...
[08:39] Haku
    We'll all just laugh and forget it.
[08:43] Haku
    Come on, tell me.
[08:45] Haku
    What do you want to do?
[08:47] Anju
    I... I want to take them back.
[08:50] Anju
    Those happy memories...
[08:53] Anju
    The people who looked up to me!
[08:56] Haku
    So start by standing up!
[08:59] Haku
    Yes, that's what he...
[09:02] Haku
    What Haku would say.
[09:06] Kuon
    You...
[09:08] Benawi
    Kurou...
[09:09] Kurou
    Yup.
[09:11] Anju
    That's right.
[09:13] Anju
    He left me all alone... and went away...
[09:17] Anju
    Just you watch!
[09:19] Anju
    I won't cry over you!
[09:21] Anju
    Never! Never!
[09:26] Haku
    That's the princess that Oshtor loved.
[09:31] Kuon
    No more.
[09:39] Kuon
    You've mocked him long enough.
[09:42] Kuon
    You're ready for what comes next, right?
[09:45] Haku
    You seem to be under a misapprehension.
[09:52] Haku
    It won't be me that fights you.
[09:56] Kuon
    You...
[09:57] Anju
    I'm ready, Oshtor!
[10:01] Anju
    You will fight me!
[10:05] Kuon
    Very well... I'm tired of talking to you.
[10:10] Haku
    Sheesh...
[10:11] Haku
    I'd better be getting extra pay for this.
[10:21] Kuon
    What did he say?
[10:28] Kuon
    It can't be... It can't be!
[10:41] Nekone
    Amazing...
[10:42] Atuy
    I'm jealous... I'm so jealous...
[10:46] Haku
    She was losing because she was
    intimidated and emotionally beaten.
[10:52] Haku
    With her heart unclouded, she can't lose.
[10:56] Haku
    My brother chose her to stand
    at the top of his empire.
[11:01] Haku
    There's no way she could
    lose to another person.
[11:06] Kuon
    Don't think you can beat me!
[11:10] Nosuri
    Your Highness!
[11:25] Anju
    Well?
[11:26] Anju
    Can you still say what you were saying?
[11:31] Kuon
    Get out...
[11:42] Kuon
    Get out of my way!
[11:44] Rulutieh
    Princess Anju!
[11:51] Kuon
    Now you can't stand up anymore...
[11:59] Haku
    What do you think you're looking at?
[12:01] Haku
    Or did you think you've
    got time to look away?
[12:07] Anju
    Is this all you've got,
    heir to Uitsualnemetia?
[12:10] Anju
    You're not as strong as I thought.
[12:13] Haku
    Those who've overcome failure
    once can no longer be broken.
[12:17] Haku
    That's why she can't be defeated!
[12:19] Haku
    She made a promise to me.
    She will be victorious!
[12:26] Kuon
    Why?
[12:29] Kuon
    No... I... Why... an Akuruka?
[13:01] Anju
    From the heavens?
[13:04] Kuon
    That's...
[13:09] Kuon
    Mother Karulau?
[13:18] Kuon
    Don't you know who I am?
[13:20] Kuon
    I am Anju, Princess of Yamato!
[13:23] Kuon
    Why do you have that sword?
[13:58] Haku
    That's enough, both of you.
[14:01] Haku
    You've both shown each other
    the full extent of your powers.
[14:06] Haku
    That's enough.
[14:07] Anju
    B-But I'm still...
[14:14] Kurou
    Sheesh. I guess I should've expected
    that from the Princess of Yamato.
[14:17] Kurou
    I didn't think any of you could
    keep up with our princess.
[14:20] Kuon
    Kurou...
[14:22] Kurou
    You're both satisfied now, right?
[14:26] Kurou
    There's nothing wrong with a little brawl
    now and then. You can fight again later.
[14:31] Benawi
    Kurou, you're overstepping.
[14:33] Kurou
    Sorry.
[14:35] Benawi
    Can we call this a tie?
[14:39] Haku
    We're fine with that.
[14:41] Haku
    But, people of Tuskur,
[14:43] Haku
    while I appreciate your coming all this way,
[14:46] Haku
    I'm afraid it would be difficult
    to accept your plan.
[14:49] Haku
    I ask you to leave.
[14:53] Benawi
    So you'll fight the court
    of Yamato without our help?
[14:58] Haku
    It is our princess who will
    rule the land of Yamato.
[15:02] Haku
    If you wish to steal it, then we
    cannot fight on the same side.
[15:08] Benawi
    And you really think, even as things stand,
    that you can take the capital?
[15:14] Haku
    No foe can defeat us, no matter how strong.
[15:19] Haku
    Her Highness just proved that herself.
[15:24] Kurou
    You really think that, don't you?
[15:26] Kurou
    I'm afraid we can't just
    pack up and leave, though.
[15:30] Haku
    There's no need for Tuskur to
    join the fight now, is there?
[15:37] Haku
    When the wars run on and Yamato
    is at its weakest point,
[15:40] Haku
    that's when it would be easiest to defeat us.
[15:42] Haku
    When Yamato is no longer a threat,
    you can come to destroy both of us.
[15:47] Haku
    I think that's the most logical strategy.
[15:50] Kurou
    Should you really be telling us that?
[15:54] Kuon
    Very well.
[15:56] Kuon
    Tuskur will not invade Yamato
    for the duration of the war.
[16:00] Kuon
    As long as you survive,
    we will stay our hand.
[16:04] Haku
    We're happy to hear that.
[16:07] Kuon
    This is only until you're defeated.
[16:10] Kuon
    You're okay with that, right, Benawi? Kurou?
[16:14] Benawi
    Indeed.
[16:15] Kurou
    If that's your decision,
    it's not my place to complain.
[16:19] Kuon
    We'll leave the supplies we brought.
[16:21] Kuon
    Consider them an apology for all
    the damage we caused. Take them.
[16:25] Anju
    You're not a bad person after all, are you?
[16:29] Kuon
    We're going home.
[16:31] Kurou
    Okay, guys, see you all again someday!
[16:34] Benawi
    Farewell.
[16:39] Karulau
    Those children really are a handful.
[16:44] Touka
    You sure about this?
[16:46] Karulau
    Yes. A sword's much happier being used
    than serving as a pretty decoration.
[16:53] Karulau
    I'm sure it's overjoyed.
[16:55] Touka
    I see.
[16:58] Karulau
    Such lovable, courageous children.
[17:01] Karulau
    Even during war, the flowers
    still bloom in brilliant colors.
[17:08] Touka
    Yes... It reminds me of something
    I saw before. Something I remember well.
[17:18] Nosuri
    You did it, Your Highness!
    You fought to the end!
[17:23] Nosuri
    I was worried for a moment.
[17:27] Anju
    That was a trick to deceive my opponent!
[17:30] Anju
    I could've whomped her right
    at the start, but if I did,
[17:33] Anju
    it would've been a really dull fight, right?
[17:36] Ougi
    I see. So that was why.
[17:39] Anju
    Indeed! As a princess, I have a
    duty not to humiliate my opponents!
[17:45] Rulutieh
    Don't move, Princess Anju.
[17:47] Rulutieh
    I can't put the salve on...
[17:50] Anju
    I-It stings!
[17:52] Anju
    Be more gentle!
[17:54] Atuy
    I'm so jealous. I wanted to fight.
[17:57] Atuy
    It's not fair that only
    the princesses get to.
[17:59] Anju
    Don't be ridiculous! Do you
    have any idea how hard I—
[18:06] Atuy
    I didn't know you were hiding
    so much strength, though.
[18:11] Atuy
    Want to fight me? With real weapons?
[18:25] Kurou
    So many days by carriage to get here,
     and now we're heading home.
[18:30] Kurou
    Yamato's just too damn big.
[18:33] Benawi
    Its size is the source of its power.
[18:37] Kurou
    Sure, but... it's a hard place to visit.
[18:43] Kurou
    Was all this part of your plan, Princess?
[18:46] Kuon
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[18:48] Kurou
    Deliberately anger them, to inspire
    them to fight and bring them together.
[18:54] Kurou
    Am I wrong?
[18:56] Kuon
    Absurd.
[18:57] Kurou
    Sure, if you say so.
[19:01] Kurou
    Either way, you've kept your
    feelings bottled up long enough.
[19:06] Kurou
    It's scary, seeing you cry with
    no expression on your face.
[19:11] Kuon
    Cry?
[19:19] Kuon
    Huh?
[19:21] Kuon
    I-I'm not crying...
[19:24] Kuon
    Some dust got in my eye. That's all...
[20:40] Kuon
    Oshtor, are you, perhaps...
[21:25] Kuon
    He's just pretending to sleep, I think.
[21:29] Kuon
    But I...
[21:34] Kuon
    I thought I was ready, but... now...
[21:37] Kuon
    I can never see them again.
[21:52] Kuon
    It stinks!
[21:53] Kuon
    My eyes! My eyes hurt so much!
[22:02] Kuon
    Wh-What the heck are you doing, Kurou?!
[22:10] Benawi
    Princess.
[22:13] Kuon
    Benawi... Is this...
[22:17] Benawi
    Your things. Fumirul gave them to me.
[22:21] Kuon
    Fumirul gave them to you?
[22:25] Benawi
    Never stop going forward.
[22:26] Benawi
    And when you doubt the path,
    listen to the voice in your heart.
[22:31] Benawi
    Those were their words.
[22:37] Kuon
    So you planned this from the start?
[22:41] Kuon
    Benawi...
[22:44] Kuon
    I'm sorry.
[22:46] Kuon
    But... thank you!
[22:50] Kuon
    I'll be going, then!
[22:56] Kuon
    This is the right choice,
    isn't it, Your Highness?
[23:01] Kurou
    Sheesh. She's finally gone, huh?
[23:04] Kurou
    She's grown up, but she's still a handful.
[23:09] Kurou
    This stinks, though!
[23:11] Kurou
    Did I eat something spoiled?
[23:13] Kurou
    I need to get some air in here...
[23:17] Kurou
    Hey, Warmaster! Open the window!
[23:20] Kurou
    Warmaster! Warmaster!
[23:22] Benawi
    You can stay in there for a while.
[23:24] Benawi
    Consider it your punishment
    for the stunts you pulled.
[23:27] Kuon
    Warmaster!
[23:32] Kuon
    Warmaster!
