**[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!
