00:00:14,264 --> 00:00:17,350
Long, long ago, a great calamity emerged
4
00:00:17,434 --> 00:00:19,227
from the depths of the Ashen Sea.
5
00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:22,605
Its form was that of a great beast
that destroyed all in its path,
6
00:00:22,689 --> 00:00:24,816
and Nergal was its name.
7
00:00:24,899 --> 00:00:28,194
Through the ages, many warriors
challenged the malevolent force
8
00:00:28,278 --> 00:00:31,990
known as the King of Ash,
but all were defeated.
9
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:36,911
People had given up
on fighting the threat so long ago,
10
00:00:36,995 --> 00:00:39,497
the idea of resisting
seemed a distant memory.
11
00:00:40,331 --> 00:00:44,044
But then a new warrior
was about to be born.
12
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:28,296
Sapphire! Oh, Sapphire!
13
00:01:28,963 --> 00:01:30,507
Oh, please, please!
14
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:33,968
Sapphire, please. Sapphire!
15
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:38,681
Are you all right?
16
00:01:41,059 --> 00:01:42,143
Sapphire, wait.
17
00:01:42,727 --> 00:01:44,395
Your arm.
18
00:01:46,523 --> 00:01:48,066
- I'm fine…
- Ooh, ooh.
19
00:01:48,691 --> 00:01:49,526
…Zirco.
20
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:56,116
What happened?
21
00:01:57,659 --> 00:02:00,370
It's all destroyed. There's nothing left.
22
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:12,257
Ah. Mother, is that you?
23
00:02:16,261 --> 00:02:18,721
Mother! I'll get you out!
24
00:02:21,558 --> 00:02:23,143
Don't hurt yourself more.
25
00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:26,396
It must be blocked by the rubble.
26
00:02:27,063 --> 00:02:28,398
Mother, I'm coming!
27
00:02:28,481 --> 00:02:30,859
I'm gonna get you out of there! Hold on!
28
00:02:31,359 --> 00:02:34,320
Sapphire, it's no use.
29
00:02:34,404 --> 00:02:35,530
What?
30
00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:39,284
No, Mother! What do you mean?
I can defeat the Nergal!
31
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,287
I'm more powerful than that thing!
32
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:45,623
I'll put an end to that atrocity
once and for all!
33
00:02:45,707 --> 00:02:49,752
Damn it! I'll open the door!
Open up! I'll save you all!
34
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:52,380
I'll save you and Father
and everyone in the kingdom!
35
00:02:52,463 --> 00:02:56,467
I'm going to protect everyone,
every last person! So, open up!
36
00:02:56,551 --> 00:02:58,052
Come on! Mother!
37
00:02:58,136 --> 00:03:01,514
{\an8}Open the door, Mother! Help me! Open it!
38
00:03:01,598 --> 00:03:04,434
{\an8}Trying to fight against this world
is meaningless.
39
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:06,728
{\an8}Why can't you understand that?
40
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:12,775
You're going to have to face the truth,
Sapphire. We've been defeated.
41
00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:18,364
But, Mother, why would…
42
00:03:18,448 --> 00:03:20,617
No, not yet. I'll stay and fight.
43
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,536
I'll destroy that Nergal,
whatever it takes!
44
00:03:24,162 --> 00:03:25,079
{\an8}Sapphire,
45
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:28,041
{\an8}there's nothing you can do to stop it.
46
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:30,877
{\an8}It's over. Accept it.
47
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:37,217
{\an8}The only way that we can survive
is to flee from those stronger than them.
48
00:03:38,593 --> 00:03:40,845
{\an8}This whole world can perish and rot,
49
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:44,015
but my final wish…
50
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:46,351
No, I…
51
00:03:46,434 --> 00:03:48,937
Mother, no! Please!
52
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:51,648
- Open the door! You can't!
- I'm sorry,
53
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:54,067
- Mother, you can't!
- but I've gotta get out of here.
54
00:03:54,150 --> 00:03:56,694
Stop it! Let go!
55
00:03:56,778 --> 00:03:59,239
Let go of me!
56
00:04:33,982 --> 00:04:34,941
The Nergal.
57
00:04:59,924 --> 00:05:00,800
Oh?
58
00:05:00,883 --> 00:05:02,176
Sapphire!
59
00:05:18,234 --> 00:05:22,113
Ah! I'm soaked to the bone.
All righty then.
60
00:05:26,242 --> 00:05:28,369
What are you doing over there, Zirco?
61
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:30,913
I'm making you a little something special.
62
00:05:31,414 --> 00:05:32,332
Special?
63
00:05:32,415 --> 00:05:35,168
Something that ought to help
liven up your spirits.
64
00:05:35,251 --> 00:05:37,253
You know I'm not in the mood
to do anything.
65
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:41,632
Besides, Mother always told me
to avoid doing anything unnecessary.
66
00:05:42,675 --> 00:05:45,303
Well, I'll have to offer
the Queen my contrition,
67
00:05:45,386 --> 00:05:48,306
because this is your new weapon, Sapphire.
68
00:05:49,098 --> 00:05:51,684
A weapon suited
to help us survive out here.
69
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:56,397
It will allow you to hold things,
to carry things, and even to hug people.
70
00:05:57,315 --> 00:05:58,858
If we hope to make it in this world,
71
00:05:58,941 --> 00:06:01,652
we're going to have to start working
and earning our keep.
72
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:06,574
That's not the same.
73
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:18,961
Oh, no.
74
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:27,428
{\an8}Trying to fight against this world
is meaningless.
75
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:29,222
{\an8}Why can't you understand that?
76
00:06:42,693 --> 00:06:44,612
What's all the ruckus?
77
00:06:46,030 --> 00:06:48,533
Sapphire! Look out!
78
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:03,047
Huh?
79
00:07:06,134 --> 00:07:08,553
Oh, Sapphire!
80
00:07:08,636 --> 00:07:11,639
Oh, thank goodness you're all right.
81
00:07:11,722 --> 00:07:13,558
Zirco.
82
00:07:51,596 --> 00:07:52,847
Now let us pray.
83
00:07:53,681 --> 00:07:56,058
May the Angel of Hope guide us.
84
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:58,853
May the Angel of Hope guide us.
85
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:15,995
Here you go. Thank you.
86
00:08:16,078 --> 00:08:17,455
No, thank you.
87
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:19,916
And I hope you enjoy it.
88
00:08:24,086 --> 00:08:25,213
One loaf, please.
89
00:08:25,296 --> 00:08:26,339
Here you go.
90
00:08:27,215 --> 00:08:31,219
I, uh, don't suppose you could make
the loaf a little cheaper today.
91
00:08:31,302 --> 00:08:33,137
- Uh--
- It's just, work's been drying up,
92
00:08:33,221 --> 00:08:35,056
and I'm barely making it as is.
93
00:08:35,139 --> 00:08:36,349
Uh, well, I…
94
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:59,747
Can you spare some food, please?
95
00:09:02,291 --> 00:09:03,709
Jeez, come on.
96
00:09:03,793 --> 00:09:05,461
What am I supposed to do?
97
00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:07,797
Um, you all right?
98
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,091
Smells so good.
99
00:09:10,633 --> 00:09:14,512
Ah! That smell! That smells amazing!
100
00:09:14,595 --> 00:09:20,101
{\an8}Uh, well, uh… See, I'm selling them
for 50 gold each. Interested?
101
00:09:20,685 --> 00:09:23,729
{\an8}I should have known. I don't have any.
102
00:09:23,813 --> 00:09:27,942
I had a feeling.
Oh. Well, I can't just let you starve!
103
00:09:44,792 --> 00:09:47,670
Oh.
104
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:50,673
You two must not have eaten for some time.
105
00:09:50,756 --> 00:09:52,258
While they are welcome here,
106
00:09:52,341 --> 00:09:55,052
maybe next time
you can just bring them the leftovers.
107
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:58,681
Sorry, Mom. I wasn't sure
I could make that kind of decision.
108
00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:04,270
I haven't been able to enjoy
a hot meal for so long.
109
00:10:04,353 --> 00:10:05,730
I really appreciate it.
110
00:10:05,813 --> 00:10:07,148
Uh, of course.
111
00:10:07,857 --> 00:10:10,109
Sounds like food's been hard to come by.
112
00:10:10,192 --> 00:10:12,945
{\an8}We were forced from our homeland
seven years ago.
113
00:10:13,029 --> 00:10:14,822
{\an8}Since then, we couldn't find work,
114
00:10:14,905 --> 00:10:16,949
{\an8}so we've been wandering
from place to place,
115
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:18,909
{\an8}eating whatever food we can find.
116
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,287
{\an8}All too familiar a story.
117
00:10:21,370 --> 00:10:23,122
- Awful, nonetheless.
- Mmm.
118
00:10:23,205 --> 00:10:25,875
An old woman and a young girl
all on their own.
119
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:27,335
I imagine it's been rough.
120
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:31,797
It's so good!
This thing is delicious! What is it?
121
00:10:31,881 --> 00:10:35,134
That is a bone in Golden Rat steak.
122
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:38,512
It's one of their
local specialties here in Gold Land.
123
00:10:40,723 --> 00:10:44,518
So this is the Golden Rat steak.
Mmm. I've got room for more!
124
00:10:44,602 --> 00:10:47,438
- Can I have another helping?
- I wish I could,
125
00:10:47,521 --> 00:10:49,440
but if you want more, you'll have to pay.
126
00:10:49,523 --> 00:10:51,901
- Times are hard for us, too.
- Oh, right.
127
00:10:53,152 --> 00:10:54,195
Of course.
128
00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:59,200
{\an8}We're willing to do anything.
Please, can we work for you?
129
00:10:59,283 --> 00:11:00,951
{\an8}We've got all the help we need.
130
00:11:01,035 --> 00:11:03,704
{\an8}Do you know anywhere around here
that's looking for workers?
131
00:11:03,788 --> 00:11:07,375
In my experience, when outsiders
are looking to make money quickly,
132
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:09,585
it's the mines that they turn to first.
133
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:11,879
It's not the kind of work I'd recommend.
134
00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:18,886
I can't just sit around
feeling sorry for myself forever.
135
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:22,223
{\an8}I'll do it.
136
00:11:22,973 --> 00:11:24,141
{\an8}Can you take me there?
137
00:11:24,225 --> 00:11:26,102
{\an8}What? Now?
138
00:11:26,185 --> 00:11:27,603
Uh, um…
139
00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:31,023
Don't tell me you're planning to go,
looking like that.
140
00:11:33,651 --> 00:11:35,611
Fine. Draw them a bath, will you?
141
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:41,617
I'm Sapphire. Nice to meet you.
142
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:45,079
- My name's Pine.
- Pine? That's such a cute name.
143
00:11:45,162 --> 00:11:46,956
Do… Do you really think so?
144
00:11:47,957 --> 00:11:50,334
Originally, I'm from Silver Land, but…
145
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:54,088
It's a long story,
and kind of a sad one, too,
146
00:11:54,171 --> 00:11:55,923
- but anyway…
- I bet it was hard.
147
00:11:56,549 --> 00:11:59,009
But now I'm glad to see
that you're doing better.
148
00:11:59,635 --> 00:12:01,053
Welcome to Gold Land!
149
00:12:01,595 --> 00:12:03,222
Thanks.
150
00:12:10,646 --> 00:12:13,399
The devastation of Silver Land
suffered like no other,
151
00:12:13,482 --> 00:12:16,736
but we've been able to enjoy
relative peace since the calamity.
152
00:12:16,819 --> 00:12:20,448
However, the King of Ash is stirred
and the Nergal are active again.
153
00:12:21,365 --> 00:12:24,452
And as a result, it has slowed
the pace of our mining operation.
154
00:12:24,994 --> 00:12:26,328
What more can you tell us
155
00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:28,998
about the source of crystal energy
discovered the other day?
156
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,418
It has been sealed off
and is being investigated.
157
00:12:33,002 --> 00:12:35,713
Be cautious
that it doesn't provoke the King of Ash.
158
00:12:35,796 --> 00:12:36,630
Understood.
159
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:39,300
Our nation's finances
continue to be strained,
160
00:12:39,383 --> 00:12:41,677
what with crystal prices
soaring higher than ever.
161
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:44,346
And the black market
is only gaining momentum.
162
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:47,016
The miners and immigrants
are becoming agitated.
163
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:50,102
Yesterday they began chanting,
"Defeat the King of Ash" again,
164
00:12:50,186 --> 00:12:51,562
which led to another riot.
165
00:12:52,688 --> 00:12:54,899
Then suppress them by any means.
166
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:57,067
{\an8}It is said the Angel of Hope
167
00:12:57,151 --> 00:13:00,362
{\an8}is the only one who can defeat
the King of Ash, is it not?
168
00:13:00,946 --> 00:13:02,448
That's a dangerous idea.
169
00:13:02,990 --> 00:13:05,785
Any individual caught
disseminating harmful notions,
170
00:13:05,868 --> 00:13:08,370
or rumors, will be apprehended at once,
171
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:11,165
and will be subject
to public whipping for their crime.
172
00:13:11,665 --> 00:13:12,625
Understood.
173
00:13:13,417 --> 00:13:16,337
We must not resist the King of Ash.
174
00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:20,090
If we want to survive,
we have no choice but to bear the pain.
175
00:13:21,967 --> 00:13:24,637
May the Angel of Hope guide us.
176
00:13:26,222 --> 00:13:28,891
May the Angel of Hope guide us.
177
00:13:33,229 --> 00:13:34,355
Mmm.
178
00:13:35,189 --> 00:13:36,106
Off we go!
179
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:40,194
You helped me get registered
and everything. Thanks so much.
180
00:13:40,277 --> 00:13:42,655
You'll be starting tomorrow. You ready?
181
00:13:42,738 --> 00:13:43,656
Yeah.
182
00:13:43,739 --> 00:13:46,200
{\an8}I've got some business
I have to take care of.
183
00:13:46,283 --> 00:13:48,244
{\an8}Why don't you two go on ahead without me?
184
00:13:48,327 --> 00:13:50,204
{\an8}Huh? What business?
185
00:13:50,287 --> 00:13:53,040
You'll just have to wait and see.
186
00:13:53,123 --> 00:13:54,917
Wait, Zirco, that's not fair.
187
00:13:56,585 --> 00:13:58,295
Oh, it's nothing.
188
00:13:58,379 --> 00:14:00,798
But there's lots more
interesting stuff over there.
189
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:02,967
Huh? Really?
190
00:14:04,176 --> 00:14:05,928
- Shall we go?
- Mmm. Yeah.
191
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:18,649
Mom, you'd be so proud of me!
192
00:14:18,732 --> 00:14:21,527
I think I might have just made
my first friend.
193
00:14:22,236 --> 00:14:23,404
Huh? What's wrong?
194
00:14:24,113 --> 00:14:26,365
{\an8}Huh? Really, it's nothing.
195
00:14:26,448 --> 00:14:27,700
Come on. You can tell me.
196
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:32,162
Look! They're cooking up one of the famous
Golden Rat dishes over there!
197
00:14:32,246 --> 00:14:33,747
Huh?! Whoa!
198
00:14:33,831 --> 00:14:36,292
Did you say "Golden Rat?"
199
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:38,002
Oh, that was close.
200
00:14:38,085 --> 00:14:40,296
I'm here all proud of myself
for making a friend,
201
00:14:40,379 --> 00:14:42,548
and I don't even know
what Sapphire thinks of me.
202
00:14:42,631 --> 00:14:44,800
Where is it? Where is it?
203
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:46,093
- Huh?
- What's that?
204
00:14:46,176 --> 00:14:47,303
Oh, no, not there.
205
00:14:58,522 --> 00:14:59,857
{\an8}Why did you do that?
206
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:06,614
The stores on the north side
are for upperclass customers only.
207
00:15:07,364 --> 00:15:08,699
Upperclass customers?
208
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,872
- How many times do I have to tell you…
- Oh, I understand.
209
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:18,000
That means outsiders
aren't allowed either.
210
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:19,877
What is it?
211
00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:22,504
My country had stuff like this, too.
212
00:15:23,422 --> 00:15:25,341
Not that any of that matters now.
213
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:28,469
The Nergal didn't care about status,
and just destroyed everything.
214
00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:30,346
Oh, I'm sorry.
215
00:15:30,429 --> 00:15:31,972
Oh, it's fine, really.
216
00:15:32,473 --> 00:15:35,684
Nowadays, it doesn't matter to me
whether someone's upperclass or common.
217
00:15:36,185 --> 00:15:38,270
I just want to try to find
a way to help people.
218
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:41,231
I keep trying to figure out
what I have to offer, though.
219
00:15:41,982 --> 00:15:43,442
Still haven't found it yet.
220
00:15:43,525 --> 00:15:46,070
Really? I feel the exact same.
221
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:48,989
- Huh?
- There's something inside of me
222
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:50,741
that's always pushing me to help others,
223
00:15:51,241 --> 00:15:53,702
but then I get nervous and I freeze up.
224
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,871
I mean, I'm not really good at anything.
225
00:15:56,538 --> 00:15:58,749
What's someone like me even suited for?
226
00:16:01,293 --> 00:16:03,087
Pine, you're just like me, then.
227
00:16:04,338 --> 00:16:05,673
{\an8}I'm not like you at all.
228
00:16:06,548 --> 00:16:08,467
{\an8}Your home country fell apart,
229
00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:10,886
{\an8}but that didn't stop you
from surviving on your own.
230
00:16:11,512 --> 00:16:13,472
{\an8}You're amazing. I could never do that.
231
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:15,683
{\an8}I can barely do anything.
232
00:16:16,517 --> 00:16:17,977
{\an8}I'm hardly amazing.
233
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:21,105
I mean, I still haven't helped anybody.
234
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:23,941
I have an idea.
235
00:16:24,608 --> 00:16:26,902
Let's try and find something
we can do together.
236
00:16:27,486 --> 00:16:30,698
But if that's the case,
then you're gonna have to be my friend.
237
00:16:30,781 --> 00:16:33,158
Friends?
238
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:36,578
F-R-I-E-N-D-S. Friends.
239
00:16:38,247 --> 00:16:41,625
Sapphire! I found a place
where we can stay!
240
00:16:41,709 --> 00:16:45,004
Wow, really? Thank you so much, Zirco.
241
00:16:46,672 --> 00:16:49,174
- Hey, Zirco?
- What is it, Sapphire?
242
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:53,137
I made a friend who's my age
for the first time.
243
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:55,639
Mmm. Did you, now?
244
00:17:00,561 --> 00:17:02,229
Asleep already, are you?
245
00:17:03,105 --> 00:17:05,232
I'm happy for you, Sapphire.
246
00:17:30,758 --> 00:17:31,717
All right, guys.
247
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:35,054
Sapphire and Zirco here
will be joining our group.
248
00:17:35,137 --> 00:17:36,638
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
249
00:17:36,722 --> 00:17:38,766
My name is Rock, and I'm the leader.
250
00:17:39,349 --> 00:17:40,726
This is Chorogy,
251
00:17:40,809 --> 00:17:42,436
and next to him is Hecate.
252
00:17:43,687 --> 00:17:46,607
{\an8}- My name is Chick.
- And my name is Tack.
253
00:17:46,690 --> 00:17:48,442
You guys look exactly alike.
254
00:17:48,525 --> 00:17:51,653
Sheesh. So they finally decided
to send us reinforcements,
255
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:53,947
and what do we get? An old lady.
256
00:17:54,031 --> 00:17:55,532
Hey, come on, Chorogy.
257
00:17:55,616 --> 00:17:57,201
Even old ladies
258
00:17:57,284 --> 00:17:59,536
have to work
for their food somehow, you know.
259
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:03,207
Right, now restrain him.
260
00:18:06,043 --> 00:18:09,129
You were the one who was leading that riot
the other day, weren't you?
261
00:18:09,213 --> 00:18:11,090
Ugh. Damn it all.
262
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:14,259
Why are we the ones always forced
to do the dangerous work?
263
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:17,429
Come on, everyone!
Raise the rallying cry! Fight!
264
00:18:19,473 --> 00:18:21,683
Are you finished with your ranting now?
265
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:23,852
You have us scraping to the King of Ash,
266
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:26,814
when that Nergal's just going
to kill us all eventually!
267
00:18:27,397 --> 00:18:29,191
But you Mitra just sit and watch!
268
00:18:29,274 --> 00:18:31,318
You bastards think you can--
269
00:18:33,403 --> 00:18:35,280
Throw him in solitary. Take him away.
270
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,285
Let me remind you all of the rules here.
271
00:18:40,369 --> 00:18:42,996
No one must ever defy the King of Ash!
272
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,250
Instead, be grateful to the King of Ash
that you remain alive.
273
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:48,001
Now get back to work!
274
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:50,129
May the Angel of Hope guide us.
275
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:52,965
Velvet, that bastard.
276
00:18:53,048 --> 00:18:54,007
Who's he?
277
00:18:54,091 --> 00:18:56,927
One of the Mitra in charge
of managing the mining site.
278
00:18:58,053 --> 00:19:00,139
I can tell I don't like him already.
279
00:19:00,222 --> 00:19:02,724
Trust me, it'd be best
if you don't do anything
280
00:19:02,808 --> 00:19:04,226
to draw his attention.
281
00:19:10,190 --> 00:19:13,360
So, how much of this crystal
should I be digging up?
282
00:19:13,443 --> 00:19:15,070
As much as you can.
283
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:17,614
The more crystals you unearth,
the more you get paid.
284
00:19:17,698 --> 00:19:20,409
More crystals means more money?
285
00:19:20,492 --> 00:19:23,579
There's a little Golden Rat steak
with my name on it.
286
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:25,956
Moron. You make it sound like it's easy.
287
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:27,666
What do you mean by "Moron"?
288
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:31,044
Come on, newbie.
There's no beginner's luck on this job.
289
00:19:31,753 --> 00:19:33,839
I don't need luck. I've got skill.
290
00:19:33,922 --> 00:19:36,091
All right, then,
if you dig up more than I do,
291
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:39,261
- you can have my whole share.
- Really?
292
00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:45,809
All right, crystals. Come to mama!
293
00:19:45,893 --> 00:19:46,977
Huh?
294
00:19:47,060 --> 00:19:49,313
She's really giving it her all.
295
00:19:49,396 --> 00:19:52,482
She'll wear herself out like that.
Come on. There's a better spot there.
296
00:19:56,570 --> 00:19:59,406
- What's with that machine?
- She's cheating. Not fair.
297
00:19:59,489 --> 00:20:02,201
I may not look it,
but this old lady is a genius inventor.
298
00:20:03,493 --> 00:20:06,872
One, two. One, two.
One, two. One, two. One, two. One, two.
299
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:11,877
Nice work today, guys.
We might even finish early.
300
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,837
One, two. One steak, two steaks.
301
00:20:13,921 --> 00:20:17,216
One steak, two steaks. Two steaks for me!
302
00:20:17,966 --> 00:20:19,676
Is her yield increasing?
303
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,428
Focus on your own work.
304
00:20:21,511 --> 00:20:23,639
Why do you turn everything
into a competition?
305
00:20:24,264 --> 00:20:25,432
And how did I get involved?
306
00:20:25,515 --> 00:20:27,517
Could you be more annoying?
307
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:36,610
What do you think you're doing?!
308
00:20:36,693 --> 00:20:38,946
Sorry. I didn't do it on purpose.
309
00:20:42,783 --> 00:20:43,867
That's a bad sign.
310
00:20:46,912 --> 00:20:48,914
Huh?
311
00:20:59,132 --> 00:21:01,009
A Nergal?
312
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,389
But wait, it doesn't look like the one
that came to Silver Land.
313
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:15,524
The Nergal's back again.
314
00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:18,110
Yes, sir. Lord Velvet,
you should evacuate, too.
315
00:21:18,193 --> 00:21:21,029
Get as many of the remaining miners
as possible to safety.
316
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:24,157
I'm afraid we can't afford
to lose any more workers.
317
00:21:24,241 --> 00:21:25,284
Yes, sir.
318
00:21:27,327 --> 00:21:29,705
Quickly! Keep moving!
319
00:21:30,747 --> 00:21:31,999
- You, don't stop!
- Move!
320
00:21:32,082 --> 00:21:34,626
{\an8}- Get yourself to higher ground! Quickly!
- Keep moving!
321
00:21:36,169 --> 00:21:38,171
{\an8}Are you all right?
322
00:21:38,255 --> 00:21:39,089
{\an8}Hurry up!
323
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:53,145
This is all my fault.
324
00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:55,731
Forget about that for now. We gotta run.
325
00:21:56,732 --> 00:21:58,692
Can't we do something
other than running away?
326
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:11,955
- Newbie!
- Oh, no!
327
00:22:24,009 --> 00:22:26,428
Oh, no. Sapphire! Sapphire!
328
00:22:29,723 --> 00:22:32,392
Sapphire! Where are you? Sapphire!
329
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:40,150
Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see you there.
You better get going.
330
00:22:40,233 --> 00:22:41,151
See ya.
331
00:22:53,538 --> 00:22:54,998
Here. Hold on.
332
00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:56,917
Thanks, lady.
333
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:10,263
We… We're done for.
334
00:23:31,368 --> 00:23:33,870
- You gotta be kidding.
- What about Tack?
335
00:23:56,518 --> 00:23:58,395
After losing everything,
336
00:24:00,814 --> 00:24:05,360
being disposed of,
left all alone, I couldn't do anything.
337
00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:07,779
And now I just die here?
338
00:24:08,363 --> 00:24:10,740
Trying to fight
against this world is meaningless.
339
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,368
Why can't you understand that?
340
00:24:14,244 --> 00:24:16,580
No, I can't let it end like this.
341
00:24:17,205 --> 00:24:19,166
I haven't gotten anything back!
342
00:25:38,161 --> 00:25:40,121
Huh? What's all this?
343
00:25:43,124 --> 00:25:44,334
Hecate!
344
00:25:47,837 --> 00:25:49,256
Look out!
345
00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:05,438
What?! Was that really me?!
346
00:26:05,522 --> 00:26:08,567
{\an8}- The new girl?
- Sapphire, there you are!
347
00:26:08,650 --> 00:26:09,943
{\an8}What's going on?
348
00:26:10,026 --> 00:26:11,903
What is she doing?
349
00:26:11,987 --> 00:26:13,405
Who is this girl?
350
00:26:13,488 --> 00:26:16,324
Hey, guys! Get away while you can!
351
00:26:22,706 --> 00:26:24,207
Whoa!
352
00:26:27,752 --> 00:26:30,130
Over there!
353
00:26:35,010 --> 00:26:35,927
I've got this.
354
00:26:44,102 --> 00:26:46,813
Ha!
355
00:27:04,289 --> 00:27:06,416
Yahoo!
356
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:14,758
Huh? Cool!
357
00:27:22,307 --> 00:27:23,933
Let's get you out of here.
358
00:27:32,192 --> 00:27:34,569
Oh, no. It's headed this way.
359
00:27:34,653 --> 00:27:36,154
They're in trouble.
360
00:27:42,702 --> 00:27:44,079
{\an8}What do I do now?
361
00:27:58,301 --> 00:28:01,096
- She's not affected by the mold?
- Incredible.
362
00:28:01,179 --> 00:28:03,181
She's like a knight or something.
363
00:28:03,264 --> 00:28:04,307
Sapphire!
364
00:28:04,391 --> 00:28:06,059
You can do it!
365
00:28:08,395 --> 00:28:10,689
Everyone, I'm so sorry.
366
00:28:10,772 --> 00:28:13,316
What's going on down there?
Something's strange.
367
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,068
Is someone fighting it?
368
00:28:15,151 --> 00:28:15,985
Huh?
369
00:28:17,529 --> 00:28:18,988
What's happening?
370
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,367
Someone's actually fighting
one of the Nergal?
371
00:28:22,992 --> 00:28:25,995
I doubt we'll be able to use
this mining site after this.
372
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:29,791
But we do have this guy's team
to thank for saving us.
373
00:28:59,821 --> 00:29:01,239
Well, that's no help.
374
00:29:03,783 --> 00:29:04,743
What do I do?
375
00:29:06,661 --> 00:29:07,912
Huh? What's this?
376
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:12,792
This should work.
377
00:29:45,033 --> 00:29:47,911
{\an8}The Princess Knight to the rescue.
378
00:30:09,224 --> 00:30:11,768
Is the Nergal really running away?
379
00:30:11,851 --> 00:30:13,102
I don't believe it.
380
00:30:13,186 --> 00:30:15,104
Whoa! It's running away!
381
00:30:15,188 --> 00:30:17,148
- It's retreating!
- Hooray!
382
00:30:24,113 --> 00:30:26,658
You're saying that the Nergal ran away?
383
00:30:26,741 --> 00:30:28,743
Which team was present? Tell me.
384
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:32,288
Yes, sir. The team I saw the closest to it
down there was Rock's crew.
385
00:30:32,372 --> 00:30:33,665
Isn't that right, Chorogy?
386
00:30:33,748 --> 00:30:36,000
Yes, it's exactly as he said.
387
00:30:36,918 --> 00:30:39,754
Could this be the work
of a demon, or was it…
388
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:40,672
- Mmm?
- No.
389
00:30:41,714 --> 00:30:44,717
- Bring Rock's crew to me at once!
- Yes, sir.
390
00:30:44,801 --> 00:30:46,678
Count the miners and check for casualties,
391
00:30:46,761 --> 00:30:49,013
- and tend to the injured!
- Yes, sir!
392
00:30:50,390 --> 00:30:52,767
This whole world can perish and rot.
393
00:30:53,726 --> 00:30:56,062
But my final wish is that you live on.
394
00:30:57,897 --> 00:31:00,108
Good boy. Thanks for all your help.
395
00:31:04,821 --> 00:31:07,824
So, how do I… How does this thing work?
396
00:31:08,449 --> 00:31:12,787
Come on!
There's gotta be a switch or something!
397
00:31:15,123 --> 00:31:16,291
Oh.
398
00:31:17,083 --> 00:31:18,877
{\an8}Well, that did it.
399
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,253
{\an8}At least it's over for now.
400
00:31:20,336 --> 00:31:21,671
{\an8}- There!
- I see her!
401
00:31:23,298 --> 00:31:25,216
{\an8}- Oh, you're safe.
- Sapphire!
402
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:27,635
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
403
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:29,304
Are you all right, sapphire?
404
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:32,974
- You're not hurt, are you?
- No, but I am a bit…
405
00:31:33,933 --> 00:31:35,310
A bit tired.
406
00:31:35,393 --> 00:31:36,728
Sapphire!
407
00:31:36,811 --> 00:31:41,190
I'm sorry. So sorry, Sapphire.
I'm the one who was a moron.
408
00:31:43,276 --> 00:31:44,903
What are you crying about?
409
00:31:44,986 --> 00:31:48,781
Sapphire, you're amazing. I mean it.
410
00:31:48,865 --> 00:31:52,660
{\an8}I'm gonna give you all of my crystals!
411
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:54,495
I don't need all that, Hecate.
412
00:31:55,246 --> 00:31:56,664
But how about this?
413
00:32:27,737 --> 00:32:29,614
Well, we didn't see anyone like that.
414
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:35,286
Clearly, someone is responsible.
415
00:32:36,037 --> 00:32:39,123
If you're caught lying to me,
the punishment is death.
416
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:40,124
Death?
417
00:32:41,250 --> 00:32:43,461
{\an8}Once the King of Ash has been provoked,
418
00:32:43,544 --> 00:32:46,547
{\an8}the Nergal will return
to destroy us completely.
419
00:32:47,173 --> 00:32:49,425
{\an8}Which means your jobs
are on the line as well.
420
00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:52,470
That Nergal tripped on its own tail,
bit its tongue,
421
00:32:52,553 --> 00:32:54,722
- and scurried off whimpering.
- Enough.
422
00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:56,015
Uh, you know…
423
00:32:56,099 --> 00:32:58,309
- What is it?
- Actually…
424
00:32:58,393 --> 00:33:00,269
Your threats will get you nowhere.
425
00:33:02,105 --> 00:33:02,939
{\an8}Fine, then.
426
00:33:03,481 --> 00:33:05,984
{\an8}But should you notice anything,
I expect a report.
427
00:33:06,067 --> 00:33:09,404
Indeed, if we do, we'll let you know.
428
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:17,578
Listen up. I won't have
any of us selling out our own.
429
00:33:18,204 --> 00:33:22,458
We don't know anything about the person
who fought that Nergal, understand?
430
00:33:22,542 --> 00:33:23,876
I appreciate it.
431
00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:26,796
Sir, what do you think?
432
00:33:27,338 --> 00:33:28,673
Were they telling the truth?
433
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:33,219
{\an8}What happened here today
is strictly confidential.
434
00:33:33,302 --> 00:33:34,637
{\an8}It does not leave this room.
435
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:37,015
{\an8}- But, sir--
- I'm serious.
436
00:33:37,098 --> 00:33:39,392
{\an8}And I will take
full responsibility for it.
437
00:33:41,894 --> 00:33:43,771
To our safe return!
438
00:33:43,855 --> 00:33:45,481
Cheers!
439
00:33:45,565 --> 00:33:47,442
- Take this.
- Sure.
440
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:49,986
Tonight, drinks are on me!
441
00:33:52,989 --> 00:33:55,450
Sorry for the wait, Sapphire.
Here's your favorite.
442
00:33:58,077 --> 00:34:00,496
Come on, Pine, you too.
Let's have a toast.
443
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:02,707
Huh? All right. Cheers.
444
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:06,377
Mmm.
445
00:34:06,919 --> 00:34:08,963
I've been waiting for you, Golden Rat.
446
00:34:09,047 --> 00:34:10,214
It's so good.
447
00:34:10,965 --> 00:34:13,760
I wish I could stay,
but I have to help the other customers.
448
00:34:13,843 --> 00:34:15,386
Sorry, I don't want to keep you.
449
00:34:15,470 --> 00:34:18,806
I just wanted to make sure
I shared some of this joy with you, Pine.
450
00:34:18,890 --> 00:34:20,433
Oh, don't apologize.
451
00:34:20,516 --> 00:34:22,935
I've been so busy,
I'm the one who should say sorry.
452
00:34:23,019 --> 00:34:25,772
When I heard a Nergal had appeared again,
I was so surprised.
453
00:34:25,855 --> 00:34:27,106
You know?
454
00:34:27,690 --> 00:34:30,568
In all honesty, I wasn't sure
I was gonna make it.
455
00:34:30,651 --> 00:34:33,529
But everyone is talking about
how amazing you were.
456
00:34:35,156 --> 00:34:36,741
It was luck. That's all.
457
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:38,034
- Pine!
- Oh.
458
00:34:38,117 --> 00:34:40,078
Uh, hey, Sapphire.
459
00:34:40,161 --> 00:34:42,747
I've been thinking about
what I can do to help people, too.
460
00:34:42,830 --> 00:34:45,541
Ta-da! I wanna share my ideas with you!
461
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:48,377
Really? I love that.
462
00:34:48,461 --> 00:34:50,004
I better get back to work.
463
00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:51,506
You got this.
464
00:34:53,299 --> 00:34:56,302
It's wild, though,
because if it weren't for that knight,
465
00:34:56,385 --> 00:34:57,970
there wouldn't be this many survivors.
466
00:34:58,054 --> 00:35:00,556
Quiet. Rock told us
not to talk about that.
467
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,850
It's fine. We're celebrating today.
468
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:05,645
We're letting loose. So what if our lips
get loose, too?
469
00:35:05,728 --> 00:35:07,605
Oh, dear knight, oh, Angel of Hope,
470
00:35:07,688 --> 00:35:10,149
please eliminate all the Nergal for us!
471
00:35:11,317 --> 00:35:13,945
- What are you talking about?
- What's wrong with you?
472
00:35:14,487 --> 00:35:17,573
The Mitra are always saying
that if you anger the King of Ash,
473
00:35:17,657 --> 00:35:19,242
terrible things will happen.
474
00:35:19,325 --> 00:35:21,369
Now, wait a second. Last time I checked,
475
00:35:21,452 --> 00:35:22,995
you're an immigrant too, Chorogy.
476
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:25,206
Now you're gonna side
with the Gold Landers?
477
00:35:25,289 --> 00:35:27,750
We lied to them.
If they find out, they'll kill us.
478
00:35:27,834 --> 00:35:28,918
Shut your mouth.
479
00:35:29,001 --> 00:35:31,879
And why should I?
I haven't said anything wrong!
480
00:35:31,963 --> 00:35:34,924
- You've got more to say?
- That's enough, Chorogy.
481
00:35:35,424 --> 00:35:38,845
Tonight, all the drinks are on me,
so no fighting.
482
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:42,932
Sorry about getting you dragged
into this, Chorogy.
483
00:35:43,015 --> 00:35:44,684
Wait.
484
00:35:48,855 --> 00:35:50,523
What's his problem?
485
00:35:51,107 --> 00:35:53,651
Whatever. Let's party!
486
00:35:53,734 --> 00:35:54,610
Yeah!
487
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:06,330
It's not fair.
488
00:36:06,414 --> 00:36:10,543
You give Sapphire a little attention,
and suddenly she's all full of herself
489
00:36:10,626 --> 00:36:12,962
just because she took out
one of the Nergal.
490
00:36:13,045 --> 00:36:14,297
Hey, you.
491
00:36:23,556 --> 00:36:26,100
I must say, that thing
came as quite a surprise.
492
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:27,518
What thing?
493
00:36:27,602 --> 00:36:30,313
That thing you're wearing
on your head, Sapphire.
494
00:36:30,396 --> 00:36:32,231
Uh, my ribbon?
495
00:36:32,315 --> 00:36:35,234
Mmm. I'd like to take
a closer look at that thing.
496
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:41,699
Why isn't it doing it?
497
00:36:41,782 --> 00:36:43,743
Are you trying to keep me in suspense?
498
00:36:51,584 --> 00:36:52,710
Ooh!
499
00:36:52,793 --> 00:36:55,630
{\an8}I think maybe it has something
to do with the crystals.
500
00:36:55,713 --> 00:36:58,466
{\an8}Hmm. If I'm honest,
I don't really understand it myself.
501
00:36:59,091 --> 00:37:01,385
{\an8}And your body feels perfectly fine, right?
502
00:37:02,136 --> 00:37:03,596
Mmm, yeah. I feel great.
503
00:37:04,889 --> 00:37:06,265
Maybe even better than ever.
504
00:37:06,807 --> 00:37:09,143
{\an8}I'm glad to hear it.
505
00:37:11,562 --> 00:37:14,607
It must have been scary.
I'm so proud of you, Sapphire.
506
00:37:16,025 --> 00:37:18,319
{\an8}There's nothing you can do to stop it.
507
00:37:19,654 --> 00:37:21,364
It's over, accept it.
508
00:37:23,616 --> 00:37:25,743
Hey, Zirco, I found it.
509
00:37:25,826 --> 00:37:28,371
I know what I want to do.
I know what my purpose is.
510
00:37:28,996 --> 00:37:30,581
- Helping people?
- Mmm.
511
00:37:31,540 --> 00:37:34,627
But it's more than just fighting Nergal
as the Princess Knight.
512
00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:37,296
Anyone who's been struggling
deserves my help.
513
00:37:37,380 --> 00:37:39,966
And I think I survived
to be that kind of hero.
514
00:37:41,175 --> 00:37:42,385
{\an8}And I'm your support.
515
00:37:42,468 --> 00:37:45,429
{\an8}If there's anything
you need this genius inventor to make,
516
00:37:45,513 --> 00:37:46,847
{\an8}you let me know.
517
00:37:46,931 --> 00:37:48,557
Mmm. Thanks, Zirco.
518
00:37:49,892 --> 00:37:51,727
Hmm? Actually…
519
00:38:23,676 --> 00:38:25,011
Oh, dear.
520
00:38:25,094 --> 00:38:28,055
The fire is spreading faster
than they can put it out. What's that?
521
00:38:28,139 --> 00:38:30,433
Is that the cry of someone
who's been left behind?
522
00:38:30,516 --> 00:38:31,600
What will they do now?
523
00:38:32,685 --> 00:38:36,188
Princess Knight to the rescue! Alley-oop!
524
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:40,318
And just like that,
the young girl was rescued.
525
00:38:42,111 --> 00:38:43,571
I saw that in real life.
526
00:38:43,654 --> 00:38:45,406
She was incredible, wasn't she?
527
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:47,742
The Princess Knight appeared again, huh?
528
00:38:47,825 --> 00:38:50,036
You know, she saved my life once, too.
529
00:39:00,087 --> 00:39:01,464
Ta-da!
530
00:39:02,214 --> 00:39:05,426
I'm still not sure
what exactly I can do to help people,
531
00:39:05,509 --> 00:39:08,304
but I started by writing down
the things that I'm good at.
532
00:39:08,387 --> 00:39:09,930
Oh. Like what?
533
00:39:10,681 --> 00:39:12,641
The first one I wrote down is singing.
534
00:39:13,184 --> 00:39:16,937
- Wow, Pine, I love it!
- Welp, I actually said it out loud.
535
00:39:17,021 --> 00:39:18,481
Then this will be perfect.
536
00:39:18,564 --> 00:39:19,815
Uh?
537
00:39:19,899 --> 00:39:21,275
Ta-da!
538
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:23,235
What have you got?
539
00:39:26,822 --> 00:39:30,076
It's a flute.
540
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:33,829
I was right.
Something told me you loved music.
541
00:39:33,913 --> 00:39:35,039
Why wouldn't you?
542
00:39:35,122 --> 00:39:37,917
Music has the ability
to lift people's spirits.
543
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,212
Yeah. Exactly.
544
00:39:41,295 --> 00:39:44,507
- Why don't we give it a try right now?
- Sure.
545
00:39:44,590 --> 00:39:48,386
Long, long ago
546
00:39:48,469 --> 00:39:51,347
There was a lone girl
547
00:39:51,430 --> 00:39:54,642
Who wandered the land
548
00:39:54,725 --> 00:40:00,272
Winter-worn and hungry
549
00:40:00,356 --> 00:40:02,233
Uh.
550
00:40:05,486 --> 00:40:06,362
Huh.
551
00:40:07,113 --> 00:40:09,281
You're that miner, Sapphire, aren't you?
552
00:40:09,365 --> 00:40:10,741
Yeah, that's right.
553
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:30,636
What do you want?
554
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,471
Why have you brought me here?
555
00:41:07,882 --> 00:41:09,550
So you're this Ribbon Demon?
556
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:14,555
That power of yours, where did you get it?
557
00:41:15,598 --> 00:41:17,850
A power that can even defeat a Nergal.
558
00:41:18,392 --> 00:41:20,352
Did you undergo some kind
of special training?
559
00:41:20,936 --> 00:41:22,855
How is it that you're unaffected
by the mold?
560
00:41:22,938 --> 00:41:25,774
- I don't know.
- Answer me. Don't pretend to be stupid.
561
00:41:25,858 --> 00:41:27,234
But I'm telling the truth.
562
00:41:27,318 --> 00:41:30,404
I accidentally fell into a glowing pool
at the mining site,
563
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:32,740
and the power
just started flowing out of me.
564
00:41:32,823 --> 00:41:34,492
Are you saying it was the crystals?
565
00:41:34,575 --> 00:41:38,704
The body cannot survive that potent
an influx of concentrated photon energy.
566
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:41,165
You're an immigrant.
567
00:41:41,749 --> 00:41:43,000
What country are you from?
568
00:41:43,834 --> 00:41:45,503
I come from Silver Land.
569
00:41:45,586 --> 00:41:47,713
Silver Land, huh?
570
00:41:47,796 --> 00:41:48,964
It's all destroyed now.
571
00:41:49,048 --> 00:41:50,966
I know who you are.
572
00:41:51,592 --> 00:41:53,928
You are the… The cursed princess.
573
00:41:55,095 --> 00:41:58,557
You bear the responsibility
for the destruction of Silver Land.
574
00:42:00,476 --> 00:42:02,019
You escaped your destiny.
575
00:42:02,686 --> 00:42:04,813
Even if it meant the destruction
of your kingdom,
576
00:42:04,897 --> 00:42:06,315
the queen wouldn't let you die.
577
00:42:07,107 --> 00:42:09,360
How profoundly deep a mother's love is.
578
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:12,696
Wait a moment.
I don't understand anything you're saying.
579
00:42:13,197 --> 00:42:14,490
You really don't know?
580
00:42:15,491 --> 00:42:17,326
Nergals feed on pure souls.
581
00:42:18,327 --> 00:42:22,164
Had the proper sacrifices been made,
your kingdom could have avoided ruin.
582
00:42:23,582 --> 00:42:25,209
In the country of Silver Land,
583
00:42:25,292 --> 00:42:28,128
it is the pure soul of the princess
that has given as an offering.
584
00:42:29,505 --> 00:42:31,799
- You mean me?
- Precisely.
585
00:42:31,882 --> 00:42:34,301
But your mother, the Queen,
would not allow it.
586
00:42:34,927 --> 00:42:37,388
And as a result, your home was destroyed.
587
00:42:37,930 --> 00:42:41,350
You could even say you destroyed it,
Princess Sapphire.
588
00:42:41,433 --> 00:42:42,726
That can't be.
589
00:42:42,810 --> 00:42:44,228
I would never.
590
00:42:45,729 --> 00:42:49,984
You bear a curse, and now you want
to unleash it in our land?
591
00:42:50,067 --> 00:42:51,860
To bring Gold Land to ruin?
592
00:42:51,944 --> 00:42:54,405
Provoking the King of Ash
will bring nothing else.
593
00:42:55,114 --> 00:42:56,657
But the power of this ribbon,
594
00:42:57,241 --> 00:42:59,076
it can defeat the Nergal.
595
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:02,871
I'm trying to tell you that power
will prove nothing but a calamity.
596
00:43:02,955 --> 00:43:04,540
No one asked you to intervene.
597
00:43:04,623 --> 00:43:06,834
All the same,
598
00:43:07,501 --> 00:43:09,461
this power must be useful somehow.
599
00:43:11,088 --> 00:43:12,673
So why don't you help me?
600
00:43:13,173 --> 00:43:15,217
How am I supposed to break my curse?
601
00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:18,971
How was it done if not by fighting?
602
00:43:35,404 --> 00:43:37,281
Ow!
603
00:43:37,364 --> 00:43:42,036
{\an8}Come on, Chorogy.
Can't you watch where you're going, bozo?
604
00:43:42,661 --> 00:43:44,997
I'm sorry. I gotta--
605
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,707
You're not going anywhere.
606
00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:49,960
Where have you been?
You've been slacking off work all week!
607
00:43:50,044 --> 00:43:52,171
Something smells fishy.
608
00:43:58,552 --> 00:44:02,056
Why didn't I say anything?
Why didn't I try to stop them?
609
00:44:02,973 --> 00:44:04,308
I'm the worst friend ever.
610
00:44:04,391 --> 00:44:06,477
Quite the haul today.
611
00:44:07,811 --> 00:44:10,856
- Zirco.
- Oh. Is something the matter, Pine?
612
00:44:10,939 --> 00:44:12,399
I think she's in trouble!
613
00:44:12,483 --> 00:44:14,943
The Mitra came
and they took Sapphire away by force.
614
00:44:15,027 --> 00:44:17,237
- The Mitra?!
- If you want to know the details,
615
00:44:17,321 --> 00:44:19,114
you can ask him.
616
00:44:19,198 --> 00:44:22,284
Because he's the one who sold out
Sapphire's secret to Velvet
617
00:44:22,368 --> 00:44:23,243
and the Mitra.
618
00:44:24,078 --> 00:44:26,413
Sapphire's secret? What do you mean?
619
00:44:27,039 --> 00:44:30,042
The one who defeated the Nergal,
the Princess Knight is…
620
00:44:30,626 --> 00:44:32,878
Well, her real identity is Sapphire.
621
00:44:33,462 --> 00:44:34,838
Quiet! Zirco!
622
00:44:36,465 --> 00:44:38,342
But how did the two of you know about it?
623
00:44:38,425 --> 00:44:41,136
I only know because she saved my life,
624
00:44:41,220 --> 00:44:43,806
which is exactly what she did
for this slimy idiot.
625
00:44:43,889 --> 00:44:45,307
And yet he still ratted her out!
626
00:44:46,433 --> 00:44:47,768
It's not as simple as that.
627
00:44:47,851 --> 00:44:50,813
The Mitra got me all by myself,
and they were grilling me.
628
00:44:51,689 --> 00:44:53,607
I'm weak. I was scared.
629
00:44:54,525 --> 00:44:56,777
But I never thought
they'd try to execute her.
630
00:44:57,403 --> 00:44:58,278
But why?
631
00:44:58,362 --> 00:45:00,447
What do you mean, execute her?
632
00:45:00,531 --> 00:45:03,409
I thought she'd be treated
just like all the other offenders.
633
00:45:03,492 --> 00:45:05,452
That she'd be thrown in a jail cell.
634
00:45:05,536 --> 00:45:06,370
Huh?
635
00:45:06,453 --> 00:45:09,415
But then Lord Velvet drew his sword
and went for her.
636
00:45:09,998 --> 00:45:12,751
I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.
637
00:45:13,419 --> 00:45:17,214
Oh, come on, Chorogy.
Why are you the one crying now?
638
00:45:17,297 --> 00:45:18,924
I'll give you something to cry about.
639
00:45:19,007 --> 00:45:23,220
Hang on, Sapphire! I'll be there soon!
Zirco's coming to save you now!
640
00:45:23,303 --> 00:45:24,555
Are you really sorry?
641
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:29,560
Pine.
642
00:45:31,437 --> 00:45:32,354
Sapphire?
643
00:45:33,522 --> 00:45:36,483
- Sorry for making you worry.
- Sapphire!
644
00:45:37,151 --> 00:45:38,610
Oh, thank goodness.
645
00:45:38,694 --> 00:45:42,030
Huh? Sa… Sapphire! You're all right!
646
00:45:42,906 --> 00:45:44,074
Huh?
647
00:45:44,158 --> 00:45:46,785
She's alive!
648
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,079
I didn't mean to make you all worry.
649
00:45:49,705 --> 00:45:52,082
- How did you get away?
- Thank heavens.
650
00:45:52,166 --> 00:45:54,251
Don't tell me you struck Velvet down!
651
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,128
Of course not.
652
00:45:56,211 --> 00:45:57,838
I'm not sure how to say it.
653
00:45:57,921 --> 00:45:59,757
It's a bit of a long story.
654
00:46:09,057 --> 00:46:10,934
Let go of me right now!
655
00:46:11,018 --> 00:46:13,395
I said, let me go!
656
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:16,315
- Now you let go!
- Why did you bring her along?
657
00:46:17,024 --> 00:46:19,318
Now that she knows,
she cannot leave here alive.
658
00:46:19,401 --> 00:46:21,737
No matter how many times
we turned her away,
659
00:46:21,820 --> 00:46:24,281
she kept following.
Shall I dispose of her?
660
00:46:24,990 --> 00:46:27,701
- No, wait!
- If you do anything to my Sapphire,
661
00:46:27,785 --> 00:46:29,870
I'll make sure you pay for it!
662
00:46:29,953 --> 00:46:31,955
She can be trusted. She's not a spy.
663
00:46:32,039 --> 00:46:33,457
Why should I believe that?
664
00:46:33,540 --> 00:46:36,752
What, do you get some kind of sick kick
out of bullying an old woman?
665
00:46:36,835 --> 00:46:39,797
Informants come in all shapes,
sizes and ages.
666
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,466
{\an8}We've been together a long time.
She's family to me.
667
00:46:42,549 --> 00:46:45,344
I'll make you all pay! I mean it!
668
00:46:45,427 --> 00:46:47,805
- I'm begging you.
- Let me go!
669
00:46:49,431 --> 00:46:51,350
Very well, then.
670
00:46:51,433 --> 00:46:53,769
- Let go of me!
- She makes one suspicious move,
671
00:46:53,852 --> 00:46:55,521
she gets the sword.
672
00:46:56,230 --> 00:46:57,314
Now hurry up.
673
00:47:01,109 --> 00:47:04,363
Where we are headed today
is the Pillar of Creation.
674
00:47:05,656 --> 00:47:08,242
They are gateways to the world
where the Nergal dwell.
675
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,704
In truth, the Nergal
are not creatures of this world.
676
00:47:14,081 --> 00:47:15,791
They cannot be killed either.
677
00:47:15,874 --> 00:47:17,584
They may not even be alive at all.
678
00:47:17,668 --> 00:47:19,962
These Nergal, what are they?
679
00:47:20,462 --> 00:47:23,841
All I know for sure is that
they are beings that devour souls.
680
00:47:24,466 --> 00:47:27,052
They can usually satiate
their hunger with crystals.
681
00:47:27,678 --> 00:47:28,971
But if the crystals run low,
682
00:47:29,054 --> 00:47:31,807
they come to the city
to devour human souls instead.
683
00:47:31,890 --> 00:47:34,476
Can a creature like that even be defeated?
684
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,646
The Nergal are connected
to our world by components called factors,
685
00:47:37,729 --> 00:47:40,232
and they could be destroyed.
Just one is not enough.
686
00:47:40,774 --> 00:47:42,317
But destroy all of them,
687
00:47:42,401 --> 00:47:44,570
and the King of Ash
could be severed from our world.
688
00:47:45,279 --> 00:47:47,447
How can you say that with such certainty?
689
00:47:48,448 --> 00:47:51,410
Look, at one time,
a great kingdom stood there.
690
00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:53,745
No one alive remembers it now.
691
00:47:54,371 --> 00:47:56,373
But I discovered
some of their ancient records,
692
00:47:56,456 --> 00:47:58,917
and in them were accounts
of those who fought the Nergal.
693
00:47:59,501 --> 00:48:02,212
Even so, their kingdom
was still destroyed.
694
00:48:02,296 --> 00:48:04,590
The Nergal that ravaged
this once great kingdom
695
00:48:04,673 --> 00:48:07,175
was most likely the same
that attacked your homeland.
696
00:48:07,718 --> 00:48:08,552
What?
697
00:48:09,094 --> 00:48:11,805
It has appeared
at regular intervals throughout history,
698
00:48:11,889 --> 00:48:13,765
and caused the downfall of many a nation.
699
00:48:14,516 --> 00:48:15,642
The Prime Nergal.
700
00:48:16,393 --> 00:48:19,021
So then, I'll have to face that one, too?
701
00:48:19,104 --> 00:48:22,190
The Prime Nergal's return
is the cataclysm the Mitra feared most.
702
00:48:22,983 --> 00:48:25,193
Your powers might be
just what we need to understand
703
00:48:25,277 --> 00:48:26,778
the truth behind the King of Ash.
704
00:48:28,238 --> 00:48:29,907
And I intend to find out.
705
00:48:32,367 --> 00:48:33,243
There it is.
706
00:48:35,162 --> 00:48:36,747
That's a Pillar of Creation?
707
00:48:43,420 --> 00:48:45,255
The curse here is too strong.
708
00:48:45,339 --> 00:48:47,466
We can get no closer,
or risk being infected.
709
00:48:49,927 --> 00:48:50,844
What's the matter?
710
00:48:51,637 --> 00:48:53,597
Have you lost your nerve
now that you've seen it?
711
00:48:54,514 --> 00:48:56,391
Of course not. I'm ready.
712
00:48:57,351 --> 00:48:58,185
Ah!
713
00:48:58,852 --> 00:49:00,020
You're gonna want this.
714
00:49:00,103 --> 00:49:02,731
Wow. You finished it already?
715
00:49:02,814 --> 00:49:04,775
{\an8}Press here, and voila.
716
00:49:06,318 --> 00:49:07,527
{\an8}That should come in handy.
717
00:49:09,071 --> 00:49:10,614
{\an8}Thank you so much, Zirco.
718
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:14,868
{\an8}Hmm. Just promise
you'll come back in one piece.
719
00:49:43,021 --> 00:49:44,106
The gateway.
720
00:49:49,319 --> 00:49:50,195
Huh?
721
00:49:51,405 --> 00:49:52,280
Ah!
722
00:50:07,713 --> 00:50:10,173
The Princess Knight to the rescue.
723
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,846
What is this place? Where am I?
724
00:50:37,868 --> 00:50:41,413
It can't be. Is that Mother and Father?
725
00:51:11,651 --> 00:51:13,904
The Nergal. They know I'm here.
726
00:51:43,892 --> 00:51:45,102
{\an8}I haven't seen this.
727
00:51:57,739 --> 00:51:59,282
This thing is amazing.
728
00:52:02,828 --> 00:52:03,954
Just four left.
729
00:52:05,914 --> 00:52:06,957
Let's go.
730
00:52:32,983 --> 00:52:34,609
That worked.
731
00:52:52,627 --> 00:52:53,503
Sapphire.
732
00:52:54,254 --> 00:52:55,839
You must not resist.
733
00:52:55,922 --> 00:52:58,758
Don't fight,
even if the whole world should perish.
734
00:53:44,054 --> 00:53:44,971
What's going on?
735
00:54:00,820 --> 00:54:04,199
All I have to do is destroy that?
All right.
736
00:54:24,052 --> 00:54:25,136
Did it work?
737
00:54:39,192 --> 00:54:42,070
Huh? What's all this now?
738
00:54:48,910 --> 00:54:50,870
I'm in trouble! I'm in trouble!
739
00:55:01,756 --> 00:55:03,341
It's falling!
740
00:55:19,941 --> 00:55:21,943
Sapphire is still inside!
741
00:55:44,049 --> 00:55:45,508
What's this?
742
00:55:47,260 --> 00:55:48,636
It's your payment.
743
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:51,348
You never said the job came with payment!
744
00:55:51,431 --> 00:55:54,309
Hmm. Why would you think it wouldn't?
745
00:55:54,976 --> 00:55:56,978
Oh.
746
00:55:59,064 --> 00:56:00,940
Hmm.
747
00:56:02,984 --> 00:56:07,739
Ah! There's no restaurant in town
that'll turn us away now!
748
00:56:09,949 --> 00:56:12,327
Roasted golden rat with herb sauce.
749
00:56:12,410 --> 00:56:14,287
Please enjoy.
750
00:56:15,789 --> 00:56:17,749
And without further ado…
751
00:56:21,878 --> 00:56:25,090
In a foreign tongue
752
00:56:25,173 --> 00:56:28,426
From a distant land
753
00:56:28,510 --> 00:56:33,098
You offered the same prayer
Again and again
754
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:36,976
- I'm sorry.
- Huh?
755
00:56:37,060 --> 00:56:40,438
I'm sure you had better things to do
than this on your day off.
756
00:56:40,522 --> 00:56:42,273
What are you talking about, Pine?
757
00:56:42,357 --> 00:56:44,484
This is just the kind of break I needed.
758
00:56:44,567 --> 00:56:47,654
After all, Velvet's been working me
to the bone lately.
759
00:56:48,947 --> 00:56:53,410
I think I've finally found it,
the reason that I survived.
760
00:56:54,327 --> 00:56:55,829
Enough about me.
761
00:56:55,912 --> 00:56:58,164
I want to hear more about
what you can do, Pine.
762
00:56:58,748 --> 00:57:01,167
{\an8}Sapphire! Don't push yourself too hard.
763
00:57:01,251 --> 00:57:02,627
Wow!
764
00:57:03,336 --> 00:57:04,587
She's got a flute!
765
00:57:04,671 --> 00:57:06,131
I told you to wait.
766
00:57:07,465 --> 00:57:09,300
Stop, Hakobe.
767
00:57:09,384 --> 00:57:10,802
Don't bother other people.
768
00:57:10,885 --> 00:57:13,221
{\an8}I'm not bothering anyone.
769
00:57:13,304 --> 00:57:15,974
- I guess you're just a kid.
- Velvet?
770
00:57:16,057 --> 00:57:18,685
Why do you always have
to be like this, Hakobe?
771
00:57:18,768 --> 00:57:20,687
You've got your bad habits too, Nazuna.
772
00:57:20,770 --> 00:57:22,522
Why don't you join us?
773
00:57:26,860 --> 00:57:28,069
Do you know this song?
774
00:57:28,695 --> 00:57:29,696
Yeah.
775
00:57:30,613 --> 00:57:33,116
it's "The Winter-Worn Traveler", right?
776
00:57:33,199 --> 00:57:35,201
Would you play it again?
777
00:57:35,285 --> 00:57:36,744
You must like music.
778
00:57:36,828 --> 00:57:37,912
Yeah.
779
00:57:38,663 --> 00:57:41,332
We're always singing
and learning new songs together.
780
00:57:42,250 --> 00:57:45,420
Well, this is Pine,
and she's a really good singer, too.
781
00:57:45,503 --> 00:57:47,547
- Shall we have a listen?
- Wait! Sapphire!
782
00:57:52,051 --> 00:57:55,472
Long, long ago
783
00:57:55,555 --> 00:57:58,266
A lone girl…
784
00:57:58,349 --> 00:57:59,976
- Wandered the land…
- Huh?
785
00:58:07,692 --> 00:58:08,985
Whoa!
786
00:58:09,068 --> 00:58:11,279
Pine! Are you all right?
787
00:58:29,797 --> 00:58:31,925
Sorry for interrupting.
788
00:58:33,301 --> 00:58:35,011
Well…
789
00:58:35,094 --> 00:58:36,930
No, not at all.
790
00:58:37,013 --> 00:58:38,348
Don't worry about it.
791
00:58:41,476 --> 00:58:44,312
Um, do you know those children?
792
00:58:44,395 --> 00:58:46,272
They're my siblings.
793
00:58:46,356 --> 00:58:47,857
This is where I was raised.
794
00:58:48,816 --> 00:58:51,319
O King…
795
00:58:51,402 --> 00:58:52,403
Is something wrong?
796
00:58:54,697 --> 00:58:57,909
It's just, Sapphire's been
coming home exhausted every day.
797
00:58:59,285 --> 00:59:00,954
What are you making her do?
798
00:59:01,496 --> 00:59:04,207
I'm giving her a chance to atone.
799
00:59:04,290 --> 00:59:05,792
Atone for what?
800
00:59:05,875 --> 00:59:07,335
She hasn't told you?
801
00:59:07,418 --> 00:59:08,962
Maybe you should ask her yourself.
802
00:59:09,045 --> 00:59:14,342
A blue bud
803
00:59:14,425 --> 00:59:16,302
I know this song.
804
00:59:16,386 --> 00:59:21,599
A pure angel given in sacrifice
805
00:59:21,683 --> 00:59:23,601
I won't let them be sacrificed.
806
00:59:52,005 --> 00:59:53,715
No, not here!
807
00:59:56,676 --> 00:59:58,595
The last confirmed sighting of a Nergal
808
00:59:58,678 --> 01:00:00,638
was over three months ago.
809
01:00:01,472 --> 01:00:04,267
The mining sites seem
to be recovering well.
810
01:00:04,350 --> 01:00:06,728
In fact, our output
has not only rebounded,
811
01:00:06,811 --> 01:00:09,480
but has significantly increased.
812
01:00:09,564 --> 01:00:10,815
Excellent.
813
01:00:10,898 --> 01:00:15,612
Moving on, we have more
information regarding the recent fire.
814
01:00:17,405 --> 01:00:19,741
Excuse the intrusion,
but there is something
815
01:00:19,824 --> 01:00:22,785
that I must urgently bring
to Your Holiness' attention.
816
01:00:27,749 --> 01:00:30,543
And you have no idea
as to what might have caused this?
817
01:00:30,627 --> 01:00:32,337
I do not. None at all.
818
01:00:32,420 --> 01:00:35,923
For now, our sterilization team
can keep things under control.
819
01:00:36,007 --> 01:00:38,009
Should the situation get any worse,
820
01:00:38,092 --> 01:00:40,428
we'll need to resort
to emergency provisions.
821
01:00:40,511 --> 01:00:44,307
We should prepare the sacrificial rites,
should the need present itself.
822
01:00:45,558 --> 01:00:47,644
Understood, Your Holiness
823
01:00:48,394 --> 01:00:51,397
Velvet, after all we've done to raise you,
824
01:00:51,481 --> 01:00:54,609
I trust I don't need to stress
that betrayal would be unforgivable.
825
01:00:54,692 --> 01:00:56,861
You have nothing to fear.
826
01:00:56,944 --> 01:00:59,864
I assure you, I will not disappoint you.
827
01:01:05,953 --> 01:01:08,831
You called, so here I am.
828
01:01:12,251 --> 01:01:14,420
What is it? What do you need?
829
01:01:14,504 --> 01:01:16,839
Why make me sneak all the way in here?
830
01:01:16,923 --> 01:01:18,549
We have to pause our mission.
831
01:01:18,633 --> 01:01:21,969
We can't make any further attempts
to take down the Pillars or the Nergal.
832
01:01:22,053 --> 01:01:23,638
Huh? Why not?
833
01:01:24,472 --> 01:01:27,558
The pillars of creation
have begun appearing at the city gate.
834
01:01:28,518 --> 01:01:31,270
We must be cautious
not to provoke the King of Ash further.
835
01:01:31,354 --> 01:01:32,772
We have to do something.
836
01:01:32,855 --> 01:01:34,482
We can't just let them grow.
837
01:01:34,565 --> 01:01:36,526
The Mitra have their methods.
838
01:01:36,609 --> 01:01:38,569
We'll just wait for things to settle down.
839
01:01:38,653 --> 01:01:41,030
Wouldn't it be faster
if I took care of it?
840
01:01:41,114 --> 01:01:43,491
I'm not just gonna sit there and watch.
841
01:01:44,367 --> 01:01:46,327
The Mitra are not so incompetent.
842
01:01:46,411 --> 01:01:48,830
An infestation of this scale
can be handled.
843
01:01:48,913 --> 01:01:51,499
The immigrant district
is right next to the gate.
844
01:01:52,333 --> 01:01:54,001
If the growth gets out of hand…
845
01:01:55,378 --> 01:01:57,547
more than one person
might become a victim.
846
01:01:59,882 --> 01:02:03,177
How do you expect to save the world
without sacrifice?
847
01:02:03,261 --> 01:02:06,514
That's how you were saved…
by the sacrifice of your kingdom.
848
01:02:07,557 --> 01:02:10,143
{\an8}Hmm. That's why I want to change things.
849
01:02:10,852 --> 01:02:14,021
{\an8}If I know danger is approaching,
I can't ignore it.
850
01:02:14,564 --> 01:02:16,733
{\an8}I don't want to lose anyone else.
851
01:02:17,942 --> 01:02:21,320
{\an8}Do you think you're truly
capable of containing it?
852
01:02:21,404 --> 01:02:24,824
{\an8}If the Pillars of Creation
can't be stopped and keep growing,
853
01:02:24,907 --> 01:02:27,702
{\an8}and one of the Nergal appears once more,
854
01:02:27,785 --> 01:02:31,330
{\an8}the Mitra will have no choice
but to demand a sacrifice.
855
01:02:31,414 --> 01:02:33,124
{\an8}What are you talking about?
856
01:02:33,207 --> 01:02:34,959
{\an8}The sacrifices offered here
857
01:02:35,042 --> 01:02:36,544
are the church's orphans.
858
01:02:38,129 --> 01:02:40,006
They're like you, Sapphire,
859
01:02:40,089 --> 01:02:41,758
doomed to a cursed fate.
860
01:02:43,801 --> 01:02:45,344
I understand.
861
01:02:45,428 --> 01:02:46,721
You want to save them.
862
01:02:46,804 --> 01:02:47,889
Velvet, I can help.
863
01:02:47,972 --> 01:02:51,559
How dare you presume to understand
someone else's heart?
864
01:02:52,518 --> 01:02:57,231
Your little imagined reality
is not the same as my truth.
865
01:03:00,443 --> 01:03:01,736
I'll do it.
866
01:03:01,819 --> 01:03:03,321
I'll be the sacrifice.
867
01:03:04,155 --> 01:03:07,408
After all, it was meant to be
my destiny in Silverland.
868
01:03:08,201 --> 01:03:09,869
So if I can't stop it first,
869
01:03:09,952 --> 01:03:11,537
I'll take their place.
870
01:03:12,997 --> 01:03:14,582
Please.
871
01:03:14,665 --> 01:03:16,542
Let me keep fighting till the end.
872
01:03:18,836 --> 01:03:20,922
Don't let my power go to waste.
873
01:03:29,972 --> 01:03:32,058
This area is currently sealed off.
874
01:03:32,141 --> 01:03:35,144
- You really have it under control?
- Don't push.
875
01:03:35,228 --> 01:03:36,646
Please, for your own safety.
876
01:03:36,729 --> 01:03:40,149
We are asking all citizens
to remain inside their homes.
877
01:03:42,026 --> 01:03:43,986
It seems to be contained for now.
878
01:03:44,070 --> 01:03:46,989
The pillar respawn rate
is also decreasing.
879
01:03:49,617 --> 01:03:51,786
That very nearly took us to the brink,
880
01:03:51,869 --> 01:03:53,037
but we're stopping it.
881
01:03:58,167 --> 01:03:59,669
Everyone, remain calm!
882
01:04:04,090 --> 01:04:06,175
The Princess Knight to the rescue!
883
01:04:06,259 --> 01:04:07,385
- Oh!
- Oh!
884
01:04:07,468 --> 01:04:08,845
It's the Princess Knight!
885
01:04:10,888 --> 01:04:12,765
You don't need to worry.
886
01:04:12,849 --> 01:04:14,350
Thank goodness!
887
01:04:14,433 --> 01:04:15,726
She'll save us!
888
01:04:28,364 --> 01:04:30,116
The tower is collapsing!
889
01:04:32,285 --> 01:04:33,578
No way!
890
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:46,757
No, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no you don't!
891
01:04:46,841 --> 01:04:48,259
That thing is huge.
892
01:04:48,342 --> 01:04:50,011
Is she gonna be able to stop it?
893
01:04:55,099 --> 01:04:56,601
Whoa!
894
01:04:56,684 --> 01:04:58,269
What's going on?
895
01:05:01,522 --> 01:05:03,774
An evacuation order has been issued.
896
01:05:03,858 --> 01:05:05,318
All citizens must comply.
897
01:05:05,401 --> 01:05:07,653
- Come, darling, this way.
- Women and children…
898
01:05:07,737 --> 01:05:09,238
Can you tell us what's happening?
899
01:05:10,740 --> 01:05:14,327
It's going to be all right.
Do you know where your parents are?
900
01:05:15,953 --> 01:05:17,580
Move back! Move back!
901
01:05:17,663 --> 01:05:19,165
Wait! You can't do this.
902
01:05:20,708 --> 01:05:23,377
Full domestic lockdown is now in effect.
903
01:05:35,932 --> 01:05:37,767
- Found it.
- Well done.
904
01:05:44,023 --> 01:05:47,068
Pardon the intrusion, Your Holiness.
905
01:05:47,151 --> 01:05:48,819
You may enter.
906
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,618
You summoned me, so I have dutifully come.
907
01:05:59,956 --> 01:06:02,458
I suspect that you already know why.
908
01:06:07,463 --> 01:06:09,548
This is your doing, isn't it?
909
01:06:13,552 --> 01:06:14,804
Yes.
910
01:06:16,514 --> 01:06:19,976
But Your Holiness,
I believe that girl may very well be
911
01:06:20,059 --> 01:06:22,395
the Angel of Hope
that we have so long awaited.
912
01:06:23,396 --> 01:06:27,149
With her mysterious powers, she was able
to successfully seal away a Nergal.
913
01:06:27,817 --> 01:06:29,652
And not just once or twice.
914
01:06:29,735 --> 01:06:32,738
I understand that toppling a Nergal
goes against the Mitra customs,
915
01:06:32,822 --> 01:06:35,950
but the power she possesses
could potentially put an end
916
01:06:36,033 --> 01:06:38,077
to all of our suffering, once and for all.
917
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:39,912
Velvet. Listen.
918
01:06:39,996 --> 01:06:41,205
Yes, sir.
919
01:06:41,288 --> 01:06:45,418
That immigrant girl,
she is not our Angel of Hope.
920
01:06:45,501 --> 01:06:46,627
But Your Holiness--
921
01:06:46,711 --> 01:06:49,714
You place far too much faith
in human beings.
922
01:06:51,340 --> 01:06:55,886
We humans are not nearly as strong
as you hope and believe us to be.
923
01:06:55,970 --> 01:07:00,141
It is an inescapable truth for all people,
including that girl.
924
01:07:00,224 --> 01:07:02,977
And being the weak
and frail beings that they are,
925
01:07:03,060 --> 01:07:06,564
when they are subjected
to cruel trials, they break.
926
01:07:06,647 --> 01:07:10,860
That is why we, the Mitra,
must help guide and govern the hapless
927
01:07:10,943 --> 01:07:13,696
and, at times, serve as a shield as well.
928
01:07:13,779 --> 01:07:15,197
There must be another way.
929
01:07:16,115 --> 01:07:17,992
Do not forget your teachings, Velvet.
930
01:07:18,075 --> 01:07:20,953
Human beings are weak of heart and spirit.
931
01:07:21,037 --> 01:07:24,290
Only by finding a common enemy
can they truly work together
932
01:07:24,373 --> 01:07:26,250
for the progress of their kind.
933
01:07:26,333 --> 01:07:29,879
This applies to you…
and yes, even to myself.
934
01:07:29,962 --> 01:07:31,047
Your Holiness.
935
01:07:32,214 --> 01:07:33,215
I can't just…
936
01:07:33,299 --> 01:07:34,884
I have to do something.
937
01:07:36,093 --> 01:07:39,930
{\an8}The weak and frail creatures of this world
are sacrificed to power.
938
01:07:40,014 --> 01:07:42,475
{\an8}A law as constant as the sun.
939
01:07:42,558 --> 01:07:46,437
{\an8}Humankind is mercilessly
assailed by the King of Ash.
940
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,982
{\an8}That is the unalterable
natural state of our existence.
941
01:07:50,900 --> 01:07:54,320
Just as humans gain their sustenance
from Golden Rats,
942
01:07:54,403 --> 01:07:58,074
humans, then, must serve
as nourishment for the king.
943
01:07:58,157 --> 01:08:01,077
{\an8}Humanity is happiest
when it is kept safe and cloistered,
944
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,412
{\an8}where the illusion of peace eases them.
945
01:08:04,497 --> 01:08:06,791
{\an8}But you and the girl
have shattered that dream.
946
01:08:21,889 --> 01:08:24,475
- Report the situation.
- Yes, sir.
947
01:08:24,558 --> 01:08:28,521
It appears there is someone
fighting a Nergal at the city gate.
948
01:08:28,604 --> 01:08:31,148
Let's move out!
949
01:08:31,232 --> 01:08:32,566
Yes, sir.
950
01:08:36,695 --> 01:08:37,988
That can't be good.
951
01:08:39,615 --> 01:08:40,658
Sapphire!
952
01:08:40,741 --> 01:08:42,660
- Time to take a stand!
- Huh?
953
01:08:45,246 --> 01:08:47,039
Ch… Chorogy?
954
01:08:47,123 --> 01:08:49,500
What the hell are you wearing?
955
01:08:50,835 --> 01:08:52,044
Are you just gonna sit around
956
01:08:52,128 --> 01:08:54,130
when we could be helping
the Princess Knight?
957
01:08:55,047 --> 01:08:56,465
Help her? How?
958
01:08:57,049 --> 01:08:59,343
How are you gonna fight a Nergal?
959
01:08:59,426 --> 01:09:00,469
What are you thinking?
960
01:09:00,553 --> 01:09:01,887
There's no way!
961
01:09:01,971 --> 01:09:03,430
You could be killed!
962
01:09:04,140 --> 01:09:06,725
I'm not sure how,
but even if we can't fight that thing,
963
01:09:06,809 --> 01:09:08,686
there must be something we can do.
964
01:09:08,769 --> 01:09:10,896
I've got things I want to protect, too.
965
01:09:11,897 --> 01:09:14,150
If we want to help,
we gotta do it ourselves.
966
01:09:15,734 --> 01:09:17,027
You're right, Chorogy.
967
01:09:17,111 --> 01:09:18,821
You can count me in.
968
01:09:18,904 --> 01:09:20,906
I'm always just the one getting saved.
969
01:09:21,907 --> 01:09:23,617
It's about time I return the favor.
970
01:09:23,701 --> 01:09:25,744
I'll go, too!
971
01:09:26,453 --> 01:09:29,165
You're right. Let's do this.
972
01:09:29,248 --> 01:09:31,792
If Chorogy can find the courage then…
973
01:09:31,876 --> 01:09:33,794
I guess that leaves me no choice.
974
01:09:33,878 --> 01:09:35,171
The old lady is in, too.
975
01:09:35,254 --> 01:09:37,089
- Yay!
- Let's do this.
976
01:09:37,173 --> 01:09:38,591
Sapphire needs us!
977
01:09:50,853 --> 01:09:51,854
It's no use.
978
01:09:51,937 --> 01:09:53,063
They just keep coming.
979
01:09:53,147 --> 01:09:55,149
What do you think you're doing?
980
01:09:56,317 --> 01:09:58,611
Get your hands off!
981
01:10:04,283 --> 01:10:05,451
Hmm?
982
01:10:07,703 --> 01:10:09,079
Whoa!
983
01:11:08,931 --> 01:11:10,849
What? What's going on?
984
01:11:35,874 --> 01:11:37,751
The Prime Nergal.
985
01:11:52,057 --> 01:11:53,600
What in the world happened?
986
01:11:53,684 --> 01:11:55,144
What the hell is this?
987
01:11:55,227 --> 01:11:57,021
This can't be real.
988
01:11:57,104 --> 01:11:59,815
How did this happen?
989
01:11:59,898 --> 01:12:01,108
Oh.
990
01:12:14,663 --> 01:12:16,081
I have to help!
991
01:12:16,165 --> 01:12:17,207
Wait, Chorogy!
992
01:12:42,524 --> 01:12:44,735
It's opening! It's open!
993
01:13:20,771 --> 01:13:22,439
The timing couldn't be worse.
994
01:13:22,523 --> 01:13:24,650
Don't worry. I think it's just a sprain.
995
01:13:25,734 --> 01:13:27,236
Wait, where's Chorogy?
996
01:13:27,319 --> 01:13:28,862
He ran off up ahead.
997
01:13:36,036 --> 01:13:38,247
Watch out!
998
01:13:47,798 --> 01:13:50,050
- You're all right now.
- Mm-hmm.
999
01:13:50,134 --> 01:13:52,177
Oh! Thank you so much.
1000
01:13:52,719 --> 01:13:54,471
- Oh!
- Thanks, mister.
1001
01:13:56,682 --> 01:13:59,768
I may not be able to fight,
but I can help people.
1002
01:14:04,523 --> 01:14:05,691
Huh?
1003
01:14:09,319 --> 01:14:10,571
You're kidding.
1004
01:14:25,836 --> 01:14:28,088
Wait, was that…
1005
01:14:28,797 --> 01:14:31,800
Chorogy!
1006
01:14:49,193 --> 01:14:51,528
You can do it, Sapphire!
1007
01:14:53,906 --> 01:14:57,451
{\an8}Please, Sapphire! Take out that Nergal!
1008
01:14:58,035 --> 01:14:59,286
- Take it down!
- Take it down!
1009
01:14:59,369 --> 01:15:00,996
We're counting on you, Sapphire!
1010
01:15:05,250 --> 01:15:06,585
Someone's fighting it.
1011
01:15:06,668 --> 01:15:08,253
Is someone trying to stop it?
1012
01:15:08,337 --> 01:15:10,130
Is it the Angel of Hope?
1013
01:15:10,214 --> 01:15:11,965
It doesn't matter who it is.
1014
01:15:12,049 --> 01:15:14,718
We're begging you. Please, save us!
1015
01:15:32,361 --> 01:15:33,612
What is that?
1016
01:15:34,988 --> 01:15:36,406
It's the Angel!
1017
01:15:37,074 --> 01:15:38,158
Angel of Hope,
1018
01:15:38,784 --> 01:15:39,868
please save us.
1019
01:16:51,732 --> 01:16:52,858
Hmm.
1020
01:17:25,432 --> 01:17:27,100
It's still here?
1021
01:17:27,184 --> 01:17:29,102
I defeated the Nergal.
1022
01:17:29,186 --> 01:17:31,355
Why are we still inside the Pillar?
1023
01:17:32,397 --> 01:17:37,027
{\an8}We're still here because
the King of Ash is still alive.
1024
01:18:17,943 --> 01:18:21,363
We should at least try and
get Pine evacuated to the upper levels.
1025
01:18:21,446 --> 01:18:23,240
I'll see if my connection can help.
1026
01:18:23,323 --> 01:18:25,701
I pray our child can be spared.
1027
01:18:25,784 --> 01:18:27,953
Oh, Lord Mitra!
1028
01:18:28,036 --> 01:18:29,121
Please help us.
1029
01:18:31,289 --> 01:18:32,624
This world…
1030
01:18:32,708 --> 01:18:33,917
it's the worst.
1031
01:18:35,460 --> 01:18:38,880
But I think I'm the worst part about it.
1032
01:18:39,881 --> 01:18:41,466
Sapphire risked her life.
1033
01:18:41,550 --> 01:18:43,343
She fought to protect everyone.
1034
01:18:43,927 --> 01:18:45,554
What did I do?
1035
01:18:45,637 --> 01:18:47,556
Nothing at all.
1036
01:18:49,599 --> 01:18:52,185
Let's try and find something
we can do together.
1037
01:18:52,269 --> 01:18:55,981
But if that's the case,
then you're gonna have to be my friend.
1038
01:18:56,064 --> 01:18:57,107
Sapphire…
1039
01:18:58,859 --> 01:19:00,527
I'm supposed to be her friend.
1040
01:19:01,862 --> 01:19:04,614
I should've gone with her
when she was taken away.
1041
01:19:06,700 --> 01:19:09,536
I should have shared more, asked more.
1042
01:19:11,037 --> 01:19:14,082
I should've called out to her
when she needed support.
1043
01:19:15,292 --> 01:19:18,295
I just let her go in alone,
even when it seemed hopeless.
1044
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:20,672
I did nothing to help her.
1045
01:19:21,882 --> 01:19:24,468
I'm just the one
who always needs protecting.
1046
01:19:24,551 --> 01:19:27,095
As a friend, I'm a total failure.
1047
01:19:39,733 --> 01:19:43,069
This must be what was amplifying
her inexplicable energy.
1048
01:19:44,738 --> 01:19:46,323
Have you prepared the altar?
1049
01:19:47,073 --> 01:19:49,576
It will be ready shortly, Your Holiness.
1050
01:19:49,659 --> 01:19:50,786
Excellent.
1051
01:19:50,869 --> 01:19:52,829
Gather the children for the ritual,
1052
01:19:52,913 --> 01:19:56,124
and any Mitra volunteers
willing to sacrifice their life.
1053
01:19:56,208 --> 01:19:57,334
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
1054
01:19:58,084 --> 01:20:00,545
It doesn't have to be this way.
1055
01:20:00,629 --> 01:20:03,799
Why are you still going
to sacrifice the orphans?
1056
01:20:03,882 --> 01:20:06,426
Why can't we sacrifice Sapphire instead?
1057
01:20:06,510 --> 01:20:08,220
She should be our sacrifice.
1058
01:20:08,303 --> 01:20:10,722
You still don't understand.
1059
01:20:10,806 --> 01:20:13,600
That would only be violence
for violence's sake.
1060
01:20:13,683 --> 01:20:17,604
On the contrary, that impulse
would only worsen the situation.
1061
01:20:17,687 --> 01:20:19,272
{\an8}But why?
1062
01:20:19,898 --> 01:20:22,275
{\an8}It is not a curse but a creed,
1063
01:20:22,359 --> 01:20:24,820
{\an8}the Nergal are the repetition
of life and death,
1064
01:20:24,903 --> 01:20:27,197
{\an8}of creation and destruction.
1065
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:30,450
{\an8}Our emotions and memories
are bound to them.
1066
01:20:30,534 --> 01:20:33,912
{\an8}We are trapped in an endless cycle
of chaos and struggle
1067
01:20:33,995 --> 01:20:36,706
{\an8}where mankind
will never defeat the Nergal.
1068
01:20:38,250 --> 01:20:41,294
All that we have to soothe us
is our prayers.
1069
01:20:42,504 --> 01:20:45,215
Only through heartfelt mourning
can we find calm
1070
01:20:45,298 --> 01:20:47,759
in this riotously irrational world.
1071
01:20:48,802 --> 01:20:51,721
We offer up our devotion
to the countless souls
1072
01:20:51,805 --> 01:20:54,599
and memories residing within the Nergal.
1073
01:20:54,683 --> 01:20:58,353
And for that, profound sorrow
and compassion are required.
1074
01:20:58,436 --> 01:21:00,689
Carved from the depths of the heart.
1075
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:05,735
The pure souls of the orphans
that our church has so lovingly raised,
1076
01:21:06,361 --> 01:21:09,739
they are the fuel
for that compassion and sorrow.
1077
01:21:11,324 --> 01:21:16,788
We Mitra have no feelings for that girl,
so she will not serve our purpose.
1078
01:21:16,872 --> 01:21:19,708
This is not Silverland.
1079
01:21:20,500 --> 01:21:24,921
It is only through pain and suffering
that our prayers are delivered.
1080
01:21:25,005 --> 01:21:29,301
Prayer without pain
is purposeless and ineffective.
1081
01:21:31,511 --> 01:21:35,098
Now we begin our sacred work.
1082
01:21:35,181 --> 01:21:36,850
We will try to mitigate the losses
1083
01:21:36,933 --> 01:21:41,146
by minimizing the sacrifices
as much as we possibly can.
1084
01:21:43,607 --> 01:21:45,191
The time has come.
1085
01:21:45,275 --> 01:21:47,068
He is here.
1086
01:21:53,033 --> 01:21:54,743
It took you long enough, Pine.
1087
01:21:56,786 --> 01:21:57,954
I'm here.
1088
01:21:58,038 --> 01:22:00,415
We're all here together.
1089
01:22:01,750 --> 01:22:03,376
It's about to start.
1090
01:22:10,884 --> 01:22:13,762
All systems are functioning normally.
1091
01:22:33,365 --> 01:22:35,158
What's that?
1092
01:22:35,241 --> 01:22:37,243
That is the King of Ash.
1093
01:22:37,327 --> 01:22:39,913
Begin the holy ritual.
1094
01:22:41,122 --> 01:22:43,833
King
1095
01:22:43,917 --> 01:22:48,338
O King
1096
01:22:48,421 --> 01:22:51,883
Grant me
1097
01:22:51,967 --> 01:22:57,055
Your divine guidance
1098
01:22:57,138 --> 01:23:00,976
For I am
1099
01:23:01,059 --> 01:23:06,314
A blue soul
1100
01:23:07,148 --> 01:23:10,026
Your faithful
1101
01:23:10,110 --> 01:23:15,573
Angel of prayer
1102
01:23:25,500 --> 01:23:27,877
King
1103
01:23:27,961 --> 01:23:32,507
O King
1104
01:23:32,590 --> 01:23:35,969
Grant me
1105
01:23:36,052 --> 01:23:41,016
Pure joy
1106
01:23:41,099 --> 01:23:47,355
For I am
A blue destiny
1107
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:51,109
And in the end,
I wasn't able to help anyone.
1108
01:23:52,110 --> 01:23:54,654
And even worse, it's my fault.
1109
01:23:55,947 --> 01:23:57,615
Unbelievable!
1110
01:23:58,658 --> 01:24:00,994
Look over there.
1111
01:24:01,077 --> 01:24:02,579
It's Sapphire!
1112
01:24:02,662 --> 01:24:04,330
It is Sapphire!
1113
01:24:04,414 --> 01:24:07,125
But why isn't she transforming?
1114
01:24:09,210 --> 01:24:11,546
It's gone!
1115
01:24:12,547 --> 01:24:14,215
Where's her ribbon?
1116
01:24:14,299 --> 01:24:16,134
She can't use her power without it!
1117
01:24:16,885 --> 01:24:18,344
Where did it go?
1118
01:24:24,267 --> 01:24:26,102
It's almost complete.
1119
01:24:26,186 --> 01:24:28,438
All that remains
is to offer up the orphans.
1120
01:24:29,606 --> 01:24:34,569
And with this, let our prayers be heard
and the King of Ash be pacified.
1121
01:24:34,652 --> 01:24:38,031
We cannot allow their lives to be wasted.
1122
01:24:41,326 --> 01:24:43,953
King
1123
01:24:44,037 --> 01:24:47,916
O King
1124
01:24:48,833 --> 01:24:53,338
Grant me
Your warm embrace
1125
01:24:56,132 --> 01:24:57,258
Stop right there!
1126
01:24:57,342 --> 01:24:59,677
For I am
1127
01:24:59,761 --> 01:25:03,014
A blue bud
1128
01:25:05,642 --> 01:25:06,935
Velvet, wait!
1129
01:25:07,852 --> 01:25:09,479
Don't let him get away!
1130
01:25:10,814 --> 01:25:12,482
What's the commotion?
1131
01:25:12,565 --> 01:25:15,235
Your Holiness,
it appears Velvet has escaped.
1132
01:25:15,318 --> 01:25:17,695
- Capture him at once.
- Yes, sir.
1133
01:25:25,328 --> 01:25:27,080
What are those immigrants doing here?
1134
01:25:27,163 --> 01:25:28,998
Don't let them get any closer!
1135
01:25:29,082 --> 01:25:30,041
Huh?
1136
01:25:35,839 --> 01:25:37,132
Give that back!
1137
01:25:38,842 --> 01:25:40,552
Stop him! He mustn't get away!
1138
01:25:41,469 --> 01:25:42,387
Chick!
1139
01:25:43,054 --> 01:25:45,557
- Got it!
- We're counting on you!
1140
01:25:49,394 --> 01:25:50,478
Get over here!
1141
01:25:50,562 --> 01:25:52,105
- Hecate!
- Leave it to me!
1142
01:25:59,779 --> 01:26:00,989
Hecate, over here!
1143
01:26:01,739 --> 01:26:03,116
Whoa!
1144
01:26:03,199 --> 01:26:04,492
Pine!
1145
01:26:04,576 --> 01:26:05,743
Grab on!
1146
01:26:21,009 --> 01:26:22,177
{\an8}Pine!
1147
01:26:22,260 --> 01:26:23,553
{\an8}Go!
1148
01:26:24,804 --> 01:26:26,514
Sapphire!
1149
01:26:38,359 --> 01:26:40,987
I know I don't have the power
to save the world,
1150
01:26:41,070 --> 01:26:43,656
but I couldn't just
sit back and do nothing.
1151
01:26:43,740 --> 01:26:47,452
You're always there to protect me,
but I needed to do something for myself.
1152
01:26:48,620 --> 01:26:50,205
Thanks, Pine.
1153
01:26:50,288 --> 01:26:54,292
But maybe this wasn't
the reason why I survived.
1154
01:26:55,126 --> 01:26:57,378
{\an8}The reason why you survived?
1155
01:26:57,462 --> 01:26:59,923
{\an8}The only reason I need
is that you're my best friend.
1156
01:27:00,006 --> 01:27:00,965
{\an8}You're Sapphire.
1157
01:27:02,717 --> 01:27:04,761
But I'm so weak.
1158
01:27:05,386 --> 01:27:06,930
I don't think I can win.
1159
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:08,765
I'm just…
1160
01:27:08,848 --> 01:27:09,933
I'm cursed.
1161
01:27:13,394 --> 01:27:16,898
{\an8}A curse is something that's made of words.
1162
01:27:16,981 --> 01:27:19,567
And that means words can break them.
1163
01:27:20,235 --> 01:27:21,319
Huh?
1164
01:27:21,402 --> 01:27:24,072
Sapphire, you've been
fighting for so long.
1165
01:27:25,406 --> 01:27:27,575
It's just been one big struggle.
1166
01:27:29,118 --> 01:27:31,788
You've been through so much suffering.
1167
01:27:31,871 --> 01:27:34,290
{\an8}But you've made it this far, haven't you?
1168
01:27:34,374 --> 01:27:36,542
{\an8}How can you say you're weak?
1169
01:27:36,626 --> 01:27:38,544
{\an8}You're the Princess Knight,
1170
01:27:38,628 --> 01:27:41,756
and that makes you my hero!
1171
01:27:50,932 --> 01:27:52,517
Thank you, Pine.
1172
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:54,185
I needed that.
1173
01:28:03,861 --> 01:28:05,822
No, you don't.
1174
01:28:10,702 --> 01:28:13,371
Nazuna, Hakobe! Don't worry.
1175
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:15,456
I've got you now.
1176
01:28:17,292 --> 01:28:19,043
- Is that you, Velvet?
- Is that you, Velvet?
1177
01:28:20,878 --> 01:28:22,922
Is this is really where it all ends?
1178
01:28:23,506 --> 01:28:24,882
Someone, please!
1179
01:28:39,230 --> 01:28:41,858
The Princess Knight, to the rescue!
1180
01:28:44,694 --> 01:28:47,155
- The Princess Knight…
- To the rescue!
1181
01:28:48,031 --> 01:28:50,116
Sapphire, how did you…
1182
01:28:53,786 --> 01:28:56,080
Don't worry, guys, let me handle this.
1183
01:28:56,748 --> 01:28:58,541
Try and get everyone to safety.
1184
01:28:58,624 --> 01:29:00,752
Can you really save them?
1185
01:29:00,835 --> 01:29:02,879
And I don't just mean the children,
1186
01:29:02,962 --> 01:29:04,756
but the people in the country, too.
1187
01:29:05,381 --> 01:29:06,549
Watch me.
1188
01:29:07,300 --> 01:29:09,552
It's what I'm meant to do with this power.
1189
01:29:31,866 --> 01:29:36,245
{\an8}7 YEARS EARLIER
1190
01:30:03,314 --> 01:30:04,732
Where am I?
1191
01:30:04,816 --> 01:30:05,817
Wait, I remember you.
1192
01:30:07,693 --> 01:30:09,028
Huh?
1193
01:30:11,406 --> 01:30:12,490
Huh.
1194
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:18,246
Is anyone there?
1195
01:30:42,770 --> 01:30:44,772
Is there anyone here?
1196
01:30:46,607 --> 01:30:47,900
You've done well.
1197
01:30:49,861 --> 01:30:51,320
Who are you?
1198
01:30:52,113 --> 01:30:54,031
{\an8}It looks like you don't remember.
1199
01:30:55,616 --> 01:30:57,243
Uh…
1200
01:30:57,326 --> 01:30:58,995
Don't be afraid.
1201
01:30:59,078 --> 01:31:01,998
Here no one can be hurt anymore.
1202
01:31:02,081 --> 01:31:03,249
What do you mean?
1203
01:31:03,332 --> 01:31:07,170
It means you carried out your role
and fulfilled your destiny.
1204
01:31:07,795 --> 01:31:08,796
Chorogy?
1205
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:10,089
Is that really you?
1206
01:31:10,173 --> 01:31:11,132
Of course.
1207
01:31:13,801 --> 01:31:14,844
Thank goodness!
1208
01:31:14,927 --> 01:31:17,597
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry I couldn't save you.
1209
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:19,015
Forgive me!
1210
01:31:19,974 --> 01:31:20,892
But who's he?
1211
01:31:20,975 --> 01:31:24,562
One of the many other heroes
who challenged the Nergal.
1212
01:31:24,645 --> 01:31:26,314
So he's just like us, I guess.
1213
01:31:26,898 --> 01:31:28,191
You fought them, too?
1214
01:31:28,274 --> 01:31:29,317
You fought the Nergal?
1215
01:31:29,901 --> 01:31:33,196
{\an8}I did. But now that painful battle
is at an end.
1216
01:31:34,489 --> 01:31:35,573
It's as I said,
1217
01:31:35,656 --> 01:31:38,034
in this place,
no one hurts, no one suffers.
1218
01:31:38,743 --> 01:31:42,038
A place within history and memory
where all who reside,
1219
01:31:42,121 --> 01:31:43,873
live in peace and contentment.
1220
01:31:45,041 --> 01:31:48,002
An alternate reality,
something that could have been.
1221
01:31:49,128 --> 01:31:51,088
It is an endless story.
1222
01:31:52,256 --> 01:31:55,134
Ash is the soul scorched by the flame.
1223
01:31:56,177 --> 01:31:57,762
It is death itself,
1224
01:31:58,721 --> 01:32:00,973
and in death, each soul is purified.
1225
01:32:01,057 --> 01:32:02,308
And in time, is reborn.
1226
01:32:03,643 --> 01:32:06,187
This is a place
where those souls can rest.
1227
01:32:09,815 --> 01:32:12,151
It's the kind of fate people long for.
1228
01:32:12,235 --> 01:32:14,153
No, this is a dream.
1229
01:32:14,237 --> 01:32:16,656
Everyone outside hasn't given up.
1230
01:32:16,739 --> 01:32:18,824
So makes what you think I will?
1231
01:32:20,243 --> 01:32:22,453
Someone's been awaiting your arrival.
1232
01:32:26,791 --> 01:32:27,792
{\an8}BEFORE THE ALTAR
1233
01:32:31,128 --> 01:32:32,922
What has that girl done?
1234
01:32:33,548 --> 01:32:36,050
It hasn't moved since she toppled it.
1235
01:32:36,133 --> 01:32:37,885
Is she all right in there?
1236
01:32:39,345 --> 01:32:40,846
Sapphire, you…
1237
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:44,517
Time to put this to use.
1238
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:46,060
INSIDE THE NERGAL
1239
01:32:49,564 --> 01:32:50,731
And then…
1240
01:32:50,815 --> 01:32:53,693
Then I took down the Nergal
like it was nothing.
1241
01:32:53,776 --> 01:32:54,944
What do you think?
1242
01:32:55,027 --> 01:32:56,070
Pretty amazing, right?
1243
01:32:56,153 --> 01:32:59,198
Yes, darling.
You are quite amazing, Sapphire.
1244
01:33:00,908 --> 01:33:02,034
You know…
1245
01:33:02,118 --> 01:33:06,372
Mama, since I was a little girl,
all I ever wanted was to hear your praise.
1246
01:33:06,455 --> 01:33:08,207
Oh, Sapphire.
1247
01:33:08,291 --> 01:33:09,417
I was a handful.
1248
01:33:09,500 --> 01:33:12,211
You were always getting mad at me
for something.
1249
01:33:12,295 --> 01:33:15,423
But all I ever wanted to hear
was, "Good job," or, "That's my girl."
1250
01:33:15,506 --> 01:33:16,716
You know?
1251
01:33:16,799 --> 01:33:17,883
That's all.
1252
01:33:17,967 --> 01:33:20,678
Sapphire, you never did anything wrong.
1253
01:33:20,761 --> 01:33:23,097
I couldn't bear the thought of losing you.
1254
01:33:23,180 --> 01:33:25,516
You meant more than the world to me
1255
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:27,852
and I made you suffer for it.
1256
01:33:29,145 --> 01:33:31,814
Don't say that, Mother. It's fine.
1257
01:33:31,897 --> 01:33:34,275
{\an8}Let's start over from the beginning.
1258
01:33:34,859 --> 01:33:36,235
I want to apologize.
1259
01:33:36,319 --> 01:33:38,195
Darling, I'm sorry.
1260
01:33:38,279 --> 01:33:40,823
I thought I was
protecting you in the past.
1261
01:33:40,906 --> 01:33:42,825
I was obsessed with your training.
1262
01:33:42,908 --> 01:33:45,077
It was arrogance, nothing more.
1263
01:33:45,161 --> 01:33:46,871
And it ended up hurting you.
1264
01:33:48,122 --> 01:33:49,749
Only now can I say it.
1265
01:33:49,832 --> 01:33:52,293
{\an8}My words must have cut like a sword.
1266
01:33:52,376 --> 01:33:54,879
My silence must have
bound you like chains.
1267
01:33:54,962 --> 01:33:57,632
Never did I imagine I would experience
1268
01:33:57,715 --> 01:33:59,300
such deep regret as a mother.
1269
01:34:00,468 --> 01:34:01,719
Oh, Mother!
1270
01:34:04,764 --> 01:34:08,768
Don't give in! Come back to reality!
1271
01:34:08,851 --> 01:34:12,313
Long, long ago
1272
01:34:12,396 --> 01:34:15,358
A lone girl
1273
01:34:15,441 --> 01:34:18,444
Wandered the land
1274
01:34:18,527 --> 01:34:20,279
Do you think this'll actually work?
1275
01:34:20,363 --> 01:34:21,822
It will!
1276
01:34:21,906 --> 01:34:25,076
- Don't give up! Sapphire!
- Sapphire, we believe in you!
1277
01:34:26,327 --> 01:34:28,412
What's the matter, Sapphire?
1278
01:34:28,496 --> 01:34:31,499
The poor villagers…
1279
01:34:31,582 --> 01:34:33,876
Mother, Father…
1280
01:34:33,959 --> 01:34:37,004
You still can't forgive me,
can you, my darling?
1281
01:34:37,755 --> 01:34:39,590
I suppose I understand.
1282
01:34:39,674 --> 01:34:42,843
But I just wanted to see
your beautiful face once more.
1283
01:34:43,636 --> 01:34:46,722
Oh, Mother,
I wanted to see your face, too.
1284
01:34:46,806 --> 01:34:48,849
I want to throw this door open.
1285
01:34:48,933 --> 01:34:51,811
I want to live with everyone
here in Silverland again.
1286
01:34:51,894 --> 01:34:53,312
But this…
1287
01:34:53,938 --> 01:34:55,398
This place…
1288
01:34:55,481 --> 01:34:56,899
it isn't real.
1289
01:34:59,985 --> 01:35:01,445
Here's a present for you.
1290
01:35:01,529 --> 01:35:03,406
It looks wonderful on her!
1291
01:35:03,489 --> 01:35:06,325
- I love you, Sapphire.
- I love you so much!
1292
01:35:07,952 --> 01:35:14,083
{\an8}You offered the same prayer
Again and again
1293
01:35:15,751 --> 01:35:18,170
{\an8}I'm thankful you finally
made me realize it.
1294
01:35:19,255 --> 01:35:21,757
{\an8}For the first time ever, I can say it.
1295
01:35:21,841 --> 01:35:25,010
{\an8}Both Mother and Father are dead.
1296
01:35:25,094 --> 01:35:27,555
{\an8}I'm heartbroken. It hurts.
1297
01:35:50,327 --> 01:35:52,204
The factor of the King of Ash.
1298
01:35:52,288 --> 01:35:53,497
There it is.
1299
01:35:54,248 --> 01:35:55,916
So…
1300
01:35:56,000 --> 01:36:00,296
you've chosen the pain of reality
over the peace of memories?
1301
01:36:00,963 --> 01:36:02,256
That's right.
1302
01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:08,387
'Cause I'm… the Princess Knight.
1303
01:36:18,939 --> 01:36:19,982
Attack!
1304
01:36:33,829 --> 01:36:35,289
Sapphire! Get down!
1305
01:36:38,459 --> 01:36:39,376
Amazing!
1306
01:36:40,795 --> 01:36:42,004
Thanks for that!
1307
01:36:42,087 --> 01:36:43,047
Get to the Factor.
1308
01:36:43,130 --> 01:36:44,381
Leave them to us.
1309
01:36:51,096 --> 01:36:52,598
Sapphire!
1310
01:36:57,937 --> 01:36:59,146
Why you…
1311
01:37:02,274 --> 01:37:03,734
What's happening now?
1312
01:37:15,704 --> 01:37:16,831
I'm not done yet!
1313
01:37:22,253 --> 01:37:24,505
There's nothing you can do, Sapphire.
1314
01:37:30,219 --> 01:37:31,887
And it's not just you.
1315
01:37:31,971 --> 01:37:33,639
No one in here can stop it.
1316
01:37:33,722 --> 01:37:36,892
Well then, I'm glad there are
people outside fighting.
1317
01:37:40,938 --> 01:37:42,398
I can't fail.
1318
01:37:42,481 --> 01:37:44,900
This time, I have to protect everyone,
1319
01:37:45,484 --> 01:37:47,319
or I'll never be saved!
1320
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:50,364
Sorry.
1321
01:37:50,447 --> 01:37:52,741
But my peace and fulfillment
1322
01:37:53,284 --> 01:37:54,660
aren't found here!
1323
01:37:56,996 --> 01:37:58,956
You'll never win!
1324
01:38:05,379 --> 01:38:07,172
Ow, that hurt.
1325
01:38:07,256 --> 01:38:09,216
I'll make you pay for that.
1326
01:38:09,300 --> 01:38:10,342
Huh? They're gone!
1327
01:38:12,261 --> 01:38:15,306
This has happened countless times before.
1328
01:38:15,389 --> 01:38:17,725
And not a single hero
has changed the cycle.
1329
01:38:19,018 --> 01:38:20,144
Oh, yeah?
1330
01:38:20,811 --> 01:38:24,899
Take that, and that, and that,
and that, and that, and that, and that,
1331
01:38:24,982 --> 01:38:28,235
and that, and that, and that, and that,
and that, and that, and that…
1332
01:38:28,319 --> 01:38:30,362
Huh?
1333
01:38:35,701 --> 01:38:37,244
Go on. It's yours.
1334
01:38:45,169 --> 01:38:47,212
It's impossible, Sapphire. Forget it.
1335
01:38:47,296 --> 01:38:49,632
Get out of the way!
1336
01:38:52,384 --> 01:38:53,802
Sapphire!
1337
01:38:58,474 --> 01:39:00,643
Yoo-hoo!
1338
01:39:00,726 --> 01:39:02,061
Catch me now, Donkey!
1339
01:39:02,144 --> 01:39:04,980
Do it, Sapphire!
1340
01:39:40,224 --> 01:39:45,104
You can't change this world!
1341
01:39:47,606 --> 01:39:51,360
Even if I can't, I'm still gonna try.
1342
01:39:53,112 --> 01:39:54,113
All right.
1343
01:40:40,617 --> 01:40:41,702
TAKARAZUKA REVUE
1344
01:40:43,328 --> 01:40:46,457
Encore! Encore!
1345
01:40:46,540 --> 01:40:50,794
Encore! Encore! Encore!
1346
01:40:50,878 --> 01:40:53,422
Were you destined to be me somewhere else?
1347
01:40:53,505 --> 01:40:55,716
Are you another version of my soul?
1348
01:40:57,134 --> 01:40:59,053
Thank you for everything.
1349
01:41:00,220 --> 01:41:04,850
I hope the new world that you're going to
is a beautiful and happy one.
1350
01:41:09,063 --> 01:41:11,440
PRINCESS KNIGHT
OSAMU TEZUKA
1351
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:24,161
May all these souls at last find peace.
1352
01:41:51,522 --> 01:41:53,398
Sapphire, you did it!
1353
01:41:53,482 --> 01:41:55,359
She saved us!
1354
01:42:02,825 --> 01:42:04,576
Hey, guys!
1355
01:42:04,660 --> 01:42:06,078
- Huh?
- Hey, you guys!
1356
01:42:08,914 --> 01:42:11,166
- Sapphire!
- You did it! Sapphire!
1357
01:42:13,752 --> 01:42:15,546
Why do you all look like
you've seen a ghost?
1358
01:42:15,629 --> 01:42:17,005
Did you ever doubt me?
1359
01:42:18,090 --> 01:42:21,718
The Princess Knight to the rescue again!
1360
01:42:23,137 --> 01:42:27,641
I would have let the world burn
if it meant I'd be saving these children.
1361
01:42:27,724 --> 01:42:30,435
And I imagine that's how
your parents felt, too.
1362
01:42:32,479 --> 01:42:33,897
You might be right.
1363
01:42:35,190 --> 01:42:37,609
What will the Princess Knight do now?
1364
01:42:37,693 --> 01:42:40,612
I'd be happy to help
in any way that I can.
1365
01:42:41,405 --> 01:42:46,535
Thanks, but first, I'm going
to pay a visit to Silver Land.
1366
01:42:46,618 --> 01:42:49,121
I have to pay my respects.
1367
01:42:49,204 --> 01:42:52,082
Mourn Mother, Father and the kingdom.
1368
01:42:53,584 --> 01:42:55,544
You can bet I'm coming, too!
1369
01:42:56,712 --> 01:42:59,256
What?!
1370
01:42:59,339 --> 01:43:00,924
Come on!
1371
01:43:01,008 --> 01:43:02,801
Don't make this any harder.
1372
01:43:05,596 --> 01:43:08,265
So you're really leaving us?
1373
01:43:08,348 --> 01:43:10,225
I've made up my mind.
1374
01:43:10,309 --> 01:43:12,477
But once I get there,
I'll write to you, Pine.
1375
01:43:12,561 --> 01:43:15,314
If you and the others
hadn't been there cheering me on,
1376
01:43:15,397 --> 01:43:17,065
I never would have won.
1377
01:43:17,774 --> 01:43:20,277
Because Pine, you were
the one who broke my curse.
1378
01:43:22,446 --> 01:43:23,614
Sapphire!
1379
01:43:25,741 --> 01:43:29,244
I'll visit.
I'll come and see you in Silver Land.
1380
01:43:29,328 --> 01:43:31,997
'Cause, we're friends.
Friends forever, right?
1381
01:43:32,831 --> 01:43:35,000
Yeah, we're all friends forever.
1382
01:43:39,046 --> 01:43:42,466
Not a single Nergal
appeared again since then.
1383
01:43:42,549 --> 01:43:45,802
It seemed like at long last,
the cycle had been broken.
1384
01:43:46,678 --> 01:43:51,600
I hope someday,
or better yet, starting now,
1385
01:43:51,683 --> 01:43:54,686
I hope that the people
who have been hurt can begin to heal,
1386
01:43:54,770 --> 01:43:56,605
however slowly.
1387
01:43:56,688 --> 01:44:00,025
And that their newfound future
is brilliantly bright.
