The enemy of the world
that filled the horizon with fear,

4
00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:17,726
was defeated by somebody.

5
00:00:18,476 --> 00:00:20,437
To this very day,

00:00:20,770 --> 00:00:23,815
that lone Hero remains unknown,
both in name and existence.

7
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:26,860
Now the age of fear has come to an end,

8
00:00:27,277 --> 00:00:30,572
that person has to be chosen.

Hmm?

00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:28,273
[Taren] What's the matter, young boy?

20
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:31,317
I'm afraid I can't give you
any sugar sweets.

21
00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:35,655
My dad says that you help him a lot.

22
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:39,284
He says he's been getting more customers,
so I wanted to thank you.

23
00:02:39,367 --> 00:02:40,410
Mm.

00:02:40,493 --> 00:02:41,494

[Taren] But it's not like I've been
helping your dad personally.

27
00:02:47,292 --> 00:02:53,214
Creating plans to ensure the citizens
of Lithia don't suffer is my job.

[child] Is that so?

29
00:02:55,091 --> 00:02:56,092
It sure is.

30
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:59,596
Just like opening the store every day
is your dad's job.

I learned handicrafts at the kids club.

34
00:03:10,481 --> 00:03:13,651
[child] So I made this for you,
Master Taren.

35
00:03:14,235 --> 00:03:16,237
It's perfect for keeping my hair bands in.

36

and excelled not just in literary
and martial arts but in politics too.

47
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,821
When the True Demon King died,
she declared independence from Aureatia.

48

Acknowledged
as the self-proclaimed Demon King,

00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:04,202
she possesses her own military force

I know you're back.

60
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:45,910
No way.

61
00:04:47,036 --> 00:04:48,496
[Dakai] How did you know?

62
00:04:48,955 --> 00:04:50,498
[Taren] Just a guess.

63
00:04:51,082 --> 00:04:54,752
I always say that
when I come back to the office.

64
00:04:54,836 --> 00:04:58,131
I guess it was worth it
since I got to see that reaction of yours.

65
00:04:58,715 --> 00:05:00,550
You're really something,

66
00:05:00,633 --> 00:05:01,718
Miss Taren.

67
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:05,263
Did you find what I asked you
to get from Nagan?

68
00:05:05,346 --> 00:05:07,098
I wouldn't be back otherwise.

69
00:05:09,851 --> 00:05:10,852
Hm.

70
00:05:10,935 --> 00:05:12,770
[Dakai] It's what you wanted, right?

71
00:05:12,854 --> 00:05:15,481
Without a doubt. The Cold Star.

72
00:05:16,357 --> 00:05:19,527
You truly are remarkably resourceful,
Dakai.

73
00:05:20,111 --> 00:05:22,447
So, what exactly is that thing?

74
00:05:23,114 --> 00:05:27,535
A magic item, documented in records from
before the era of the True Demon King.

75
00:05:28,119 --> 00:05:30,621
[Taren] I suspected that
the self-proclaimed Demon King Kiyazuna

76
00:05:30,705 --> 00:05:33,291
had been using it
to power the Great Labyrinth.

77
00:05:33,374 --> 00:05:34,542
Looks like I was right.

78
00:05:35,084 --> 00:05:36,753
After passing through the central crystal,

79
00:05:36,836 --> 00:05:40,923
sunlight is changed into explosive light,
capable of even bombarding a city.

81
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:43,176
Sounds dangerous.

82
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:47,513
[Taren] Not a single thing cast out from
the Distant World is gentle in nature.

83
00:05:47,597 --> 00:05:49,182
Enchanted swords and magic items...

84
00:05:49,265 --> 00:05:51,809

85
00:05:51,893 --> 00:05:54,604
in the Distant World, flow into our world.

86
00:05:55,146 --> 00:05:56,439
Are you talking about me?

87
00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:59,817
Surely you don't consider yourself
to be a gentle being?

88
00:06:00,443 --> 00:06:01,778
That sword certainly isn't.

89
00:06:02,403 --> 00:06:05,323
[Taren] The Magicked Blade of Razhucort,
which prides itself on

90
00:06:05,406 --> 00:06:07,825
seizing the initiative in any attack.

91
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:10,203
It was cast out
from the Distant World too, right?

92
00:06:10,828 --> 00:06:11,829
Perhaps.

93
00:06:11,913 --> 00:06:14,499
What about the other magic items
besides the Cold Star?

94
00:06:15,249 --> 00:06:16,876
Did you have time to check?

95
00:06:17,335 --> 00:06:18,419
I looked around.

96
00:06:18,503 --> 00:06:21,130
But I didn't find anything else of value.

97
00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:22,382
That's fine.

98
00:06:22,465 --> 00:06:26,177
The Cold Star is all I need.

99
00:06:26,260 --> 00:06:29,555
So you don't mind that I didn't
bring the Dungeon Golem back?

100
00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:31,891
I don't know who defeated it,

101
00:06:31,974 --> 00:06:33,893
but it looked like
a serious piece of gear.

102
00:06:33,976 --> 00:06:36,270
Those self-proclaimed Demon Kings
outdid themselves.

103
00:06:36,854 --> 00:06:39,732
I thought you defeated it.

104
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:43,236
Well, it just means there's
someone else as strong as me.

105
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:44,320
Somewhere out there.

106
00:06:45,822 --> 00:06:48,116
The seal was in its right shoulder.

107
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:49,200
Am I right?

108
00:06:49,951 --> 00:06:52,161
I haven't heard anything specific yet.

109
00:06:52,703 --> 00:06:55,415
Aureatia collected the wreckage.

110
00:06:55,998 --> 00:06:57,291
That's a shame.

111
00:06:57,375 --> 00:07:00,420
I would have liked
to see you use that sword.

112
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:02,630
Your expectations are too high.

113
00:07:02,713 --> 00:07:04,465
I'm not a swordsman.

114
00:07:04,549 --> 00:07:07,635
Still, now that you found
the magic item I wanted,

115
00:07:07,718 --> 00:07:10,304
I'll have to give you another job.

116
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:12,557
[Taren] For nearly two months now,

117
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,601
merchant caravans going in and out
of Lithia have come under attack.

118
00:07:16,394 --> 00:07:18,813
Probably by outlaws sent from Aureatia.

119
00:07:19,397 --> 00:07:20,565
So I've heard.

120
00:07:20,648 --> 00:07:23,776
But isn't Regnejee
protecting the skies of Lithia?

121
00:07:24,318 --> 00:07:26,320
A bunch of outlaws
shouldn't pose any threat.

122
00:07:26,904 --> 00:07:29,949
If they steal our cargo
on its way to Lithia,

123
00:07:30,032 --> 00:07:32,702
then not even an army of wyverns
can help us.

124
00:07:32,785 --> 00:07:35,121
These outlaws,
who keep popping up around Lithia,

125
00:07:35,204 --> 00:07:36,956
present another problem.

126
00:07:37,582 --> 00:07:38,749
[Dakai laughs]

127
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:40,918
A difficult problem?

128
00:07:41,419 --> 00:07:45,798
The enemy is using the outlaws
to observe the measures we take.

129
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:49,135
Like when wyvern interception
will be slightly delayed,

130
00:07:49,218 --> 00:07:52,054
or when important cargo is being carried.

131
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:57,018
So basically, you think that
somebody is leaking this information?

132
00:07:57,101 --> 00:07:58,436
[Taren] Yes.

133
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,647
Find out who's informing Aureatia,
then capture them.

134
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:04,775
You're free to put
that sword of yours to good use.

135
00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:08,112
Put to good use...
[chuckles]

136
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:12,533

[merchant 1] Okay, relay that info
to Aureatia...

140
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,844

- [all] Huh?

142
00:08:36,474 --> 00:08:37,975
[merchant 1] Of course, what is it?

143
00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:39,685
[merchant 2] If you're after smoked meat...

144
00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:42,855
Some outlaws came right up
to the front of the city.

145
00:08:43,564 --> 00:08:45,858
[Dakai] Was it to send in spies?

00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,988
You weren't really trying to find holes
in our aerial defense system, were you?

148
00:08:51,572 --> 00:08:54,200
[Dakai] Amidst the chaos,
you hitched a ride with a merchant

149
00:08:54,283 --> 00:08:56,494
and slipped right into Lithia.

150
00:08:56,577 --> 00:09:00,706
Acting as if you were merchants
from elsewhere who had been attacked.

151
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:07,296
If you're identifying as merchants,
then I guess there's more of you.

152
00:09:07,672 --> 00:09:12,260
I suspect there are others
snooping on the command structure.

153
00:09:15,096 --> 00:09:16,097

Three others hiding.

159
00:09:29,443 --> 00:09:31,112
That makes seven altogether.

A terrain suited for sniping...

162
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,661
Is this their version of a fortress?

163
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:39,829
I knew it.

[Dakai] Now, who's left?

180
00:10:18,075 --> 00:10:20,369
One, two, plus another three.

181
00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:21,495
Five, huh?

182
00:10:21,579 --> 00:10:22,622
[grunts]

183
00:10:22,705 --> 00:10:23,706
[blood splats]

184
00:10:24,248 --> 00:10:25,458
That brings it down to four.

185
00:10:25,541 --> 00:10:27,418
- [panting]
- [blood splats]

186
00:10:27,835 --> 00:10:29,086
[both gasp]

187
00:10:30,212 --> 00:10:31,297
[both groan]

188
00:10:32,923 --> 00:10:34,592
Don't even try to escape.

189
00:10:34,675 --> 00:10:35,676
You can't.

190
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:40,139
If I take care of you two,
there'll be just one left.

191
00:10:40,222 --> 00:10:41,223
[scared gasp]

192
00:10:41,807 --> 00:10:44,560
What do you think? Should I kill you both?

193
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:45,728
[breathes sharply]

194
00:10:45,811 --> 00:10:46,937
I surrender.

195
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:48,981
If you're going to show mercy,
let him live.

196
00:10:49,065 --> 00:10:50,149
B-But...

197
00:10:50,232 --> 00:10:53,152
You can't beat this swordsman.
This guy is...

198
00:10:54,987 --> 00:10:56,697
[terrified scream]

199
00:10:56,781 --> 00:11:01,577
Trying to buy time for your friend inside
by wasting time begging for your lives?

200
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:04,330
I'm familiar with that trick.

201
00:11:04,413 --> 00:11:05,581
[scared gasp]

202
00:11:06,415 --> 00:11:09,126
[Dakai] There's no reason
for me to let him live either.

203
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,505
Everything's recorded
on this piece of paper, isn't it?

204
00:11:13,089 --> 00:11:15,424
I took it from the guy I just killed.

205
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:17,093
I-I won't resist!

206
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:19,929
So please, show the mercy of a swordsman!

207
00:11:20,012 --> 00:11:21,389
No can do.

208
00:11:21,472 --> 00:11:22,473
[swooshes]

209
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:28,813
[Dakai] Because I'm not a swordsman.

210
00:11:29,355 --> 00:11:30,773
I'm a bandit.

211
00:11:31,148 --> 00:11:33,150
[♪ epic choral music playing]

212
00:11:34,568 --> 00:11:36,112
[Taren] Dakai the Magpie.

213
00:11:36,570 --> 00:11:40,157
An aberrant entity that cannot
be tolerated in the Distant World.

214
00:11:40,741 --> 00:11:44,161
A visitor that has flowed to this world...

215
00:11:44,745 --> 00:11:48,249
[narrator] He is the one who can stop even
the speed of bullets in his consciousness,

216
00:11:48,332 --> 00:11:51,585
and possesses remarkable eyesight
and an enchanted sword.

217
00:11:52,253 --> 00:11:55,965
The one who boasts the power of insight

218
00:11:56,048 --> 00:11:58,801
to conquer impenetrable labyrinths alone.

219
00:11:59,468 --> 00:12:02,471
The one who plunders
in moments of utmost crisis,

220
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:06,851
and possesses fingers
of absolute precision and divine speed.

221
00:12:07,351 --> 00:12:10,104
He steals across
the boundaries of his own world

222
00:12:10,187 --> 00:12:13,858
with a rampant disregard for the law.

223
00:12:14,525 --> 00:12:15,526
[sword clinks]

224
00:12:15,609 --> 00:12:17,027
[blood drippling]

225
00:12:17,111 --> 00:12:18,362
[blood splats]

226
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:23,242
So, what will you do now,

227
00:12:23,659 --> 00:12:24,744
Aureatia?

228
00:12:25,161 --> 00:12:29,957
[narrator] He is a bandit. He is a minia.
He is Dakai the Magpie.

229
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,961
Ishura
The Twenty-Nine Officials of Aureatia

230
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:38,382
[clicks]

231
00:12:54,148 --> 00:12:56,150
All troops, straighten up.

232
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:57,610
Look at me.

233
00:12:57,693 --> 00:13:00,154
[wyverns groaning]

234
00:13:00,738 --> 00:13:02,198
[Regnejee] I'll tell you right away.

235
00:13:02,281 --> 00:13:04,784
We're here to sentence
one rotten individual to death.

236
00:13:05,367 --> 00:13:09,121
You've probably heard about
the Lithia citizen who went missing today.

237
00:13:09,663 --> 00:13:11,540
A minian child.

238
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:13,626
Nine years old. A little girl.

239
00:13:14,084 --> 00:13:16,879
I suspect one of you
knows something about this.

240
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:19,215
[wyverns murmuring]

241
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:21,050
[wyvern 1] It's true!

242
00:13:21,133 --> 00:13:24,220
It was Deputy Commander Lukwel
of the Southern Guerrilla Unit!

243
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:26,138
H-He ate a child!

244
00:13:26,764 --> 00:13:28,599
I-I saw it myself.

245
00:13:29,016 --> 00:13:30,309
It's true!

246
00:13:30,392 --> 00:13:33,729
[♪ tense music]

247
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:35,189
[surprised exclaim]

248
00:13:36,190 --> 00:13:40,194
We receive more than enough food

249
00:13:40,277 --> 00:13:43,489
in return
for protecting the citizens of Lithia.

250
00:13:43,572 --> 00:13:45,241
That's the deal we have.

251
00:13:45,324 --> 00:13:46,367
[scared mumbling]

252
00:13:46,450 --> 00:13:48,619
[Regnejee]
Let me put it simply for you, fools.

253
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:51,038
Eating Lithia citizens,

254
00:13:51,121 --> 00:13:54,667
and losing the trust of Taren the Guarded,

255
00:13:54,750 --> 00:14:00,130
is a rotten, grave act of treason
that will starve our entire group!

256
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,634
Deputy Commander Lukwel
of the Southern Guerrilla Unit.

257
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:06,136
Do you have anything to say
in your defense?

258
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:08,556
[mumbling]

259
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,892
[wyvern 2]
I can't believe Lukwel would do that.

260
00:14:11,976 --> 00:14:15,020
[wyverns murmuring]

261
00:14:15,104 --> 00:14:17,398
[Regnejee] From Regnejee
to the wind of Lithia.

262
00:14:17,481 --> 00:14:19,400
Reversing Mirror Disk.
String-tethered sun!

263
00:14:19,984 --> 00:14:20,985
Illuminate!

264
00:14:21,068 --> 00:14:23,320
[pained screaming]

265
00:14:24,947 --> 00:14:26,448
Why me?

266
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:28,826
[Regnejee]
Did you think you could trick me?

267
00:14:29,410 --> 00:14:30,578
You piece of trash!

268
00:14:30,661 --> 00:14:32,204
[wyvern 1 grunting]

269
00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:35,958
Look! See what happens
to fools who break the rules!

270
00:14:38,168 --> 00:14:43,591
Any scum who eats Lithia citizens
will be sentenced to death! No exceptions!

271
00:14:43,674 --> 00:14:46,552
Sentenced to death!

272
00:14:49,638 --> 00:14:54,560
One year ago...
This scum joined our ranks one year ago.

273
00:14:54,643 --> 00:14:56,687
I didn't break him in hard enough.

274
00:14:56,770 --> 00:15:00,566
All those who entered in the same period
will report for re-conditioning.

275
00:15:00,649 --> 00:15:02,735
Nobody will break the rules again.

276
00:15:02,818 --> 00:15:04,695
Never again!

277
00:15:04,778 --> 00:15:07,781
[♪ ominous music]

278
00:15:14,997 --> 00:15:17,291
[Regnejee] I lead that swarm of trash.

279
00:15:17,708 --> 00:15:20,753
I must be superior to any other wyvern.

280
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:23,589
I won't run away from the swarm.

281
00:15:25,257 --> 00:15:27,843
[distant squawking]

282
00:15:30,429 --> 00:15:31,722
[grunts]

283
00:15:36,852 --> 00:15:39,271
[Regnejee] Those who are truly strong
lead others.

284
00:15:39,855 --> 00:15:43,567
They take responsibility
for as many lives as they can.

285
00:15:55,621 --> 00:15:57,414
[Curte] Today is sunny.

286
00:15:57,498 --> 00:16:01,794
Regnejee left early in the morning
and still isn't back.

287
00:16:02,503 --> 00:16:04,797
He seems especially busy lately.

288
00:16:05,255 --> 00:16:07,174
- [Regnejee] What are you mumbling about?
- [gasps]

289
00:16:08,092 --> 00:16:09,301
Regnejee?

290
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:11,178
Yeah, it's me.

291
00:16:11,762 --> 00:16:13,597
Were you deployed today too?

292
00:16:13,681 --> 00:16:16,725
I just got back
from chasing off some rotten outlaws.

293
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:19,687
I've not got time to mess around
every day like you.

294
00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:21,730
I've been writing a diary.

295
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:27,569
I heard nobles who can write
make records in books like this every day.

296
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:33,075
[Curte] If I do the same, then I'll always
remember what we spoke about together.

297
00:16:33,158 --> 00:16:34,326
[scoffs]

298
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:36,328
Don't say such daft things.

299
00:16:36,412 --> 00:16:39,456
How do you plan to write if you can't see?

300
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,000
[giggles]

301
00:16:41,083 --> 00:16:43,460
That's a challenge
I've been enjoying lately.

302
00:16:48,173 --> 00:16:50,217
It's still bright outside, isn't it?

303
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:53,220
[wind gusting]

304
00:17:03,188 --> 00:17:05,190
- Oh.
- Don't touch me.

305
00:17:05,274 --> 00:17:06,525
[giggles]

306
00:17:06,608 --> 00:17:08,694
I can't even catch you off guard, huh?

307
00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:09,945
A small fry like you?

308
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:14,324
You couldn't ever touch me,
not even if you tried for a lifetime.

309
00:17:14,825 --> 00:17:16,952
That might be true.

310
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:19,621
I'll have to think of another way.

311
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:26,879
Regnejee, do you like it here in Lithia?

312
00:17:26,962 --> 00:17:28,714
What about you?

313
00:17:28,797 --> 00:17:30,507
You can't even see it.

314
00:17:30,591 --> 00:17:31,592
[Curte] I like it.

315
00:17:31,675 --> 00:17:33,260
It's beautiful.

316
00:17:33,343 --> 00:17:34,887
How silly.

317
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:36,305
I envy you.

318
00:17:36,388 --> 00:17:37,639
[Curte giggles]

319
00:17:43,145 --> 00:17:45,939
[Regnejee] Aren't you going to sing today?

320
00:17:46,023 --> 00:17:49,026
[Curte] There are plenty of singers
who sing better than me.

321
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:52,029
I want to hear your song, Curte.

322
00:17:53,155 --> 00:17:54,239
[Curte] Is that so?

323
00:17:58,869 --> 00:17:59,912
[inhales]

324
00:18:00,829 --> 00:18:03,040
[vocalizing]

325
00:18:03,123 --> 00:18:07,419
[vocalizing continues]

326
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:13,383
[narrator]
Even now that everything is over,

327
00:18:13,467 --> 00:18:18,305
there might not be any person, anywhere,

328
00:18:18,388 --> 00:18:20,974
who fully understands
the identity of the True Demon King.

329
00:18:22,142 --> 00:18:25,312
Who was the True Demon King?

330
00:18:25,395 --> 00:18:28,315
What did that True Demon King
do to her hometown?

331
00:18:28,398 --> 00:18:30,818
Curte never saw it for herself.

332
00:18:30,901 --> 00:18:36,907
But she lost the light
after that indescribable terror.

333
00:18:37,658 --> 00:18:43,163
Even so, one girl, and one wyvern,
didn't lose themselves to insanity.

334
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:45,749
Curte believes.

335
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:50,796
That the surreal song
she heard in the darkness

336
00:18:50,879 --> 00:18:54,216
is what brought back their sanity.

337
00:18:54,299 --> 00:18:56,718
[Curte vocalizing]

338
00:19:01,557 --> 00:19:02,850
[Curte] Regnejee.

339
00:19:03,725 --> 00:19:06,061
What's going to happen to Lithia?

340
00:19:06,645 --> 00:19:08,272
What about you?

341
00:19:08,897 --> 00:19:11,817
Do you plan to stay here in Lithia?

342
00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:13,360
[Curte giggles]

343
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:16,446
Well, my mother is the monarch of Lithia.

344
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:21,493
People are going to die.

345
00:19:21,577 --> 00:19:23,745
A war is about to begin.

346
00:19:23,829 --> 00:19:26,415
It's true. I understand these things.

347
00:19:26,957 --> 00:19:29,960
That may be,
but I can't leave you behind, Regnejee.

348
00:19:30,294 --> 00:19:31,336
[scoffs]

349
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:36,216
If a war does break out, dullards like you
will be the first to die.

350
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,594
Yes, you're right.

351
00:19:40,304 --> 00:19:41,471
Oh.

352
00:19:41,555 --> 00:19:43,891
When will you give up, slowpoke?

353
00:19:43,974 --> 00:19:46,351
Oh, come on,
what's wrong with a little touch?

354
00:19:46,435 --> 00:19:47,644
- Gotcha!
- [grunts]

355
00:19:47,728 --> 00:19:49,354
S-Stop you fool!

356
00:19:49,438 --> 00:19:51,106
What if you trip and hurt yourself?

357
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:54,318
[laughing]

358
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:56,403
Can I sing again?

359
00:19:56,486 --> 00:20:00,073
Sure. Knock yourself out.

360
00:20:01,283 --> 00:20:03,577
[Curte] Regnejee, did you know?

361
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:06,997
When the world began, there was an angel.

362
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,334
The angel and the Wordmaker
created everything.

363
00:20:10,417 --> 00:20:13,086
Do you believe that legend?

364
00:20:13,170 --> 00:20:17,090
Yes. Angels like songs.

365
00:20:17,591 --> 00:20:19,968
Word Arts came from songs.

366
00:20:21,762 --> 00:20:24,139
If only you were an angel, Regnejee.

367
00:20:29,478 --> 00:20:32,356
[Curte vocalizing]

368
00:20:32,439 --> 00:20:38,362
[vocalizing continues]

369
00:20:42,449 --> 00:20:44,701
[narrator] He is the one who rules over

370
00:20:44,826 --> 00:20:49,498
a freely-flying force that rules
the vast skies of the world alone.

371
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:54,127
The one who commands
an absolutely obedient and fearless swarm,

372
00:20:54,211 --> 00:20:58,507
as if they were a single living entity.

373
00:20:59,049 --> 00:21:01,802
The one with sharp battlefield acumen

374
00:21:01,885 --> 00:21:06,348
who has firmly rooted himself
in the core of a nation.

375
00:21:08,433 --> 00:21:11,103
[♪ soft music]

376
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,956
He is a Command. He is a wyvern.
He is Regnejee the Wings of Sunset.

377
00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:33,542
[♪ closing theme music]

378
00:23:01,004 --> 00:23:03,965
Aureatia
Somewhere in the Suburbs

379
00:23:04,758 --> 00:23:06,468
[soldier] That's the situation.

380
00:23:07,844 --> 00:23:10,430
Move out as soon as you receive contact.

381
00:23:15,852 --> 00:23:17,938
[transporter] Hang on a second.

382
00:23:18,647 --> 00:23:21,942
This is a delivery assignment,
not a clean-up job.

383
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:27,614
[transporter] And I heard
the luggage is somewhat tricky.

384
00:23:29,074 --> 00:23:31,076
Well, I'm sure it will work out.

385
00:23:31,785 --> 00:23:34,371
After all, I have an angel with me.
