1. Take this to the next point.

2. It includes Draka's recollection of the manuscript, type,

3. punches, matrices, and hand molds.

4. With those, you can recreate any letters that break.

5. What about the book's contents?

6. Was she lying?

7. No, I believe her.

8. In that case,

9. the girl has served her purpose.

10. Shall we dispose of her?

11. Right.

12. I thought of that too,

13. but I promised to loan her the printing press.

14. Is that safe?

15. We only just met her. We don't know her background.

16. People like her deserve a chance.

17. Support doesn't come easily for them.

18. Is that so?

19. Also, regarding the organization's future...

20. I leave it to you.

21. This is as far as I go.

22. You're really willing to do all that for this book?

23. Yes.

24. Enabling this book...

25. No, enabling books of all kinds to be published

26. is what I've dreamed of.

27. ON THE MOVEMENTS OF THE EARTH

28. Nowak!

29. EPISODE 20 I LOVE HELIOCENTRISM

30. We did it!

31. I asked local craftsmen

32. and gained information on a suspicious barn where—

33. Muster some troops.

34. It's time to settle things.

35. Oh!

36. - Here you go! - Huh?

37. Frei picked up supplies from town.

38. Make sure to savor it.

39. Th-Thanks.

40. - If I may... - Huh?

41. Why have you thrown away your life and your place in heaven

42. to do all of this?

43. Death.

44. I do it so I can accept death.

45. I had a younger sister once.

46. At age ten or so, she collapsed from disease.

47. Well, I suppose everyone's got a story like that.

48. At the end of her young life, she managed some final words.

49. They were very brief.

50. A quiet, ultimate question.

51. "Why was I born?"

52. Here's what I thought.

53. It's on God's behalf.

54. It was so she could ascend to heaven.

55. If humans die, why are they born?

56. God and religion exist to answer that question.

57. But I couldn't say it,

58. and she died before I could say anything.

59. Ever since that day, I've thought about what I would need

60. to confidently say it's on God's behalf.

61. What I do now is the end result of those thoughts.

62. At the very least, it's not God who persecutes the heretics.

63. It's humans.

64. If no one else is gonna say it, I will.

65. If I don't, I'll never be able to tell my sister that it's on behalf of God.

66. I won't say this in front of the captain, but religion is important.

67. Without religion,

68. humans could never be this strong.

69. Even in some far-off place,

70. there is someone else who believes in the same God.

71. That alone is great moral support.

72. But even so,

73. a long time has passed since the Church was founded.

74. It's inevitable that rot sets in.

75. More and more contradictions emerge,

76. and you can hear the gears of change grinding everywhere.

77. We're surely living in a period of transition.

78. That's why I've tried to find my mission in life

79. and carry it out.

80. I have faith that doing this will allow me to accept my sister's death.

81. I don't want to shirk death.

82. I want to affirm it.

83. That is my life's theme.

84. - Oh? Perfect timing. - Huh?

85. You know, I'm surprised you use machines like this.

86. Don't you despise technology?

87. Of course!

88. I merely use technology to overcome technology.

89. What makes you hate man-made things so much?

90. It's simple.

91. In my place of birth,

92. people killed one another over their interpretation of God.

93. My family was killed too.

94. Things like that are happening all over.

95. It can't be natural.

96. The problem must be dealt with at its roots.

97. All these disasters are the result of man-made things.

98. Man-made society, man-made rules, and a man-made God.

99. The things humans make can only ever be ugly imitations.

100. Looking at the vastness of nature makes that clear.

101. We are no match.

102. Humans can't make something from nothing.

103. And when they do borrow the power of nature,

104. they make carriages, crossbows, and explosives.

105. Nothing but ugly weapons.

106. According to Plato,

107. the imitations humans make are merely a form of play.

108. They are not to be taken seriously.

109. Only God's creations are real.

110. To think our technology

111. reflects an understanding of nature is a meaningless conceit.

112. I'll say it again.

113. I don't believe in human intellect.

114. Good. This will do.

115. Thanks for your help.

116. Yeah? Well then...

117. Think.

118. That process is where the truth lies.

119. - Aristotle said... - Huh?

120. Aristotle said that technology is an imitation of nature too.

121. But he also said this.

122. "Technology in some cases completes what nature cannot bring to a finish."

123. This fabric and these bloodstained coins

124. are keepsakes of my father.

125. When I look at them, I remember my conviction

126. and him.

127. These two things didn't grow naturally.

128. They were made by human hands.

129. That doesn't make them worthless.

130. Imitations made by humans at times

131. complete what nature cannot bring to a finish.

132. Anyway...

133. Observing the heavens?

134. Yes.

135. But since I don't know the exact time,

136. the records will be useless.

137. Is that so?

138. It seems we're about to leave.

139. I came to say goodbye.

140. That's awfully polite of you.

141. Do you have a motive?

142. O-Of course not!

143. I'm not that greedy.

144. Oh, but since you asked, this hood is rather fine quality...

145. - Yeah? Then you can have it. - What?

146. I won't be using it anymore.

147. Oh, and there's something else I want to give to you.

148. A vial? What is it?

149. There's a letter inside.

150. When the book is published and distributed,

151. mail it for me.

152. What sort of letter?

153. It's an obligation to my predecessors.

154. What?

155. It was written in the book that you relayed to me, remember?

156. A portion of the profits should be set aside.

157. Then again, there's no plan for profits just yet.

158. But why me?

159. What? Is it a hassle?

160. You burned something precious to me.

161. Isn't this the least you can do?

162. No, that's not what I mean.

163. Can you trust me with this?

164. I have nothing to do with your past

165. and all the history that transpired.

166. Shouldn't you ask Schmidt and the others?

167. I might burn this too at a moment's notice.

168. So why me?

169. Because you're young.

170. What?

171. I'll put it another way.

172. Right now, young people like you are history's protagonists.

173. That's why I entrust it to you.

174. Huh? Come on.

175. You can't drag me into things!

176. History doesn't concern me—

177. Yes, it does.

178. People inherit the discoveries of their predecessors.

179. It happens naturally, arbitrarily, and before you know it.

180. That's why everyone who lives now carries the past within them.

181. Why are people so concerned with memory?

182. Why do we interpret individual phenomena according to linear time?

183. Why do our minds compel us to look into history?

184. The way I see it,

185. God has given us a chance to learn.

186. In other words,

187. history is an extension of God's will.

188. God's will?

189. And what exactly is that?

190. It's in the Holy Scripture.

191. "God causes all things to work together for good."

192. That is God's will.

193. God is changing the world through human acts.

194. Little by little, over long periods of time.

195. The present moment exists within that great current.

196. In the end, I think the meaning of our birth

197. lies within that plan, within trial and error.

198. It's to participate in the dull, endless task

199. of crawling toward good.

200. By accepting and confronting evil, rather than casting it aside,

201. we sometimes give birth to a greater good.

202. It's not that good and evil

203. exist as two different paths.

204. Everything is connected by a single thread.

205. When I think of it like that,

206. none of my past hardships were meaningless.

207. But without history, humans lose sight of that.

208. They succumb to fear

209. of the finite nature of life.

210. To ascertain history

211. is equivalent to ascertaining where God is guiding us.

212. That's why we lose our way when we ignore the past.

213. That's way too abstract.

214. For me, it's quite concrete.

215. How so?

216. Because awareness of history influences my decisions.

217. For example...

218. My father was an inquisitor.

219. I've walked a completely different path from him.

220. I don't know what he is doing now.

221. I don't even know if he is alive.

222. I doubt I'll ever meet him again,

223. but sometimes I imagine it.

224. If I were to confront my father as I am now,

225. or if he tried to hinder me,

226. what would happen?

227. I don't have to think much to know it would be the worst moment of my life.

228. I'd probably be confused and lose my composure.

229. But it's that moment, most of all,

230. when I have to make the right decision.

231. All the misfortunes of my life

232. have surely existed for the sake of that moment.

233. The accumulation of history

234. will calm my nerves,

235. crush my fears,

236. guide my thoughts,

237. and stop me from running away.

238. All the winds of human history will be at my back.

239. - Why? - Huh?

240. Why come up with such twisted reasoning

241. for the sake of that book?

242. Because I love heliocentrism.

243. And... because I want to celebrate that love.

244. That's childish.

245. I agree.

246. So overcome it.

247. Leader!

248. There are two carriages heading this way.

249. They're knights.

250. What?

251. So they've found us already.

252. It's sooner than I expected.

253. In that case, please flee through the rear gate.

254. When you clear the forest, there's a carriage waiting.

255. If all goes well, you can escape without being noticed.

256. Head to the destination together.

257. - I'll stay behind and distract them. - What?

258. As the leader of the organization,

259. I'm the one they're after.

260. B-But if you distract them,

261. what happens next?

262. That's not for you to think about.

263. Bye.

264. We must get moving too.

265. I swear... I'll avenge you.

266. I see them!

267. It's a woman.

268. It must be their leader!

269. ON THE MOVEMENTS OF THE EARTH

270. Orb.

271. We are inquisitors from the Church!

272. I ask you in the name of God!

273. Are you the leader of the Heretic Liberation Front?

274. Indeed.

275. I'm the leader.

276. Everyone, prepare to fire!

277. Huh? E-Explosives?

278. Don't tell me... she lit them herself?

279. N-Nowak!

280. What does this mean?

281. Just now... for a brief second...

282. What?

283. Nowak, this is...

284. I can't wrap my head around it either.

285. But what I do know

286. is that new technology was just used

287. to do something terrifying, right before our eyes.

288. That and...

289. their leader is dead.

290. There's smoke from the barn!

291. Jolenta must have been attacked!

292. No, she martyred herself.

293. Mar... What?

294. Martyred?

295. This too was part of the plan.

296. The explosion provides cover

297. for us to reach the printing workshop safely.

298. The enemy's goal was to eliminate the Heretic Liberation Front's leader.

299. They've accomplished that.

300. They'll be short on information for a while,

301. so they can't track us.

302. Plus, since the Reformation will be handling distribution,

303. martyrdom is crucial to earning their cooperation.

304. They're considered heretics,

305. but they're still among the faithful.

306. They'd be hesitant to join with an organization like ours.

307. But the leader's death will change that.

308. To the public, it will look like the Liberation Front has disbanded.

309. By casting ourselves as a new, unrelated organization,

310. we can approach the Reformation.

311. Couldn't you have just pretended to disband?

312. Making it factual is the best way to avoid suspicion.

313. But most of all, the leader thought of this

314. and decided herself.

315. Even if it's a faint hope,

316. if martyring herself would raise the book's chances of living on,

317. she said she'd make that choice.

318. And you didn't stop her?

319. Is that sympathy I detect?

320. Feelings aren't part of our mission.

321. If they overtake you, you'll misjudge.

322. For us, death is a daily reality.

323. The important thing is where and when one dies.

324. God's own judgment is behind her judgment.

325. She experienced an honorable death for her convictions.

326. Convictions...

327. Didn't you say the same?

328. Those coins you have represent your conviction to earn money.

329. That means you'll face it one day too.

330. The difficulty of maintaining conviction...

331. Conviction comes with a price.

332. If you can't risk your life, you're all talk.

333. Where we're headed now,

334. there's no room for sympathy.

335. But that's...

336. Uh-oh.

337. Huh?

338. Everyone, stay calm.

339. It's the knights. We're about to cross paths.

340. Hide the type behind your seat.

341. You in that carriage! Halt!

342. Come out, all of you!
