1. Are you so stupid that you don't know what's going on here?

2. We're trying to tell you that if you're a good boy and do what the grownups say,

3. we'll let you go!

4. And I'm saying, I don't need your help.

5. Both of you, just watch.

6. Wait!

7. Fine then!

8. Kill him!

9. Gotcha.

27. How are you alive?

28. She stabbed you through the gut!

29. As long as you protect the vitals, the human body is surprisingly sturdy.

30. Even if you get stabbed through the gut,

31. keep your arteries and important organs safe, and it won't kill you.

32. Don't you think that's just such a beautiful thing?

33. Beautiful thing?

34. Yes!

35. You just protect your vitals,

36. and it saves you all the trouble of dodging your enemy's attack.

37. Then, once you've been impaled through the belly,

38. you can bite right into the other guy's neck.

39. You're in position for a nigh-inescapable counter attack.

40. Are you sure you're all right upstairs?

41. So now what?

42. Your elf friend is gone.

43. Is it safe to assume I'll be fighting you next?

44. W-wait!

45. I give up!

46. I was wrong!

47. I'm sorry.

48. Let's all just calm down, and we can talk it out.

49. Is that what you thought I'd say?

50. I admit, I was surprised to see Olivier defeated

51. by some punk kid who can't use his magic.

52. You were probably just lucky, but nevertheless, a win is a win.

53. Congratulations!

54. Thank you!

55. But all you did was beat one shoddy copy,

56. so don't pat yourself on the back too hard just yet.

57. There is so much magical energy lying dormant in the Sanctuary

58. that not even we can fathom it.

59. That means we can even...

60. do this!

61. Oh no...

62. This is the power of the Sanctuary!

63. A resurrected superhuman army, eh?

64. Sorry...

65. your time's up.

66. What...

67. What is that?

68. A solid mass of magical energy?

69. An artifact?

70. No, don't tell me it's slime?

71. But how?

72. How can you use magic?

73. If trying to use magic gets it absorbed,

74. then I just have to temper the magic until it's too solid to be absorbed.

75. It took a bit of time,

76. but it's really quite simple.

77. Simple?

78. But that's not possible for any human being!

79. Olivier! Kill him now!

80. Your moves are even more tedious than before.

81. It's like fighting a bunch of scarecrows.

82. Just like that! Kill him!

83. I guess playtime's over.

84. So you said we draw the holy sword,

85. cut the chains, and destroy the magical core.

86. Is that right?

87. Um, yes...

88. Wait, you're not going to...

89. It's such a pain to go through each individual step.

90. We could just blast through all of them at once.

91. Same result, right?

92. How could anyone be allowed this much power?

93. I am...

94. the All-Range...

95. Atomic.

96. You even survived being stabbed through the heart.

97. Oh, I used magic to pull my heart over to the side.

98. And now I'm extra tired.

99. You're just full of surprises.

100. I'm nowhere near as...

101. You're disappearing?

102. I suppose so.

103. I am the one who called you here.

104. I'm sorry for lying to you.

105. That's okay.

106. That's not the only thing I lied about.

107. That's okay.

108. For so long, all I wanted was to fade into nothing.

109. I wanted to forget everything.

110. But now,

111. I've made one memory that I don't want to forget.

112. Even if I disappear,

113. I want to hold on to this experience, and never let it go.

114. Thank you for the precious memory.

115. I had a good time, too.

116. Thanks.

117. If you ever find the real me...

118. please...

119. Please?

120. What we saw back there...

121. It was probably Shadow's...

122. Alexia?

123. Doesn't it just kill you?

124. Kill me?

125. We couldn't do anything.

126. I thought I had accepted the fact that I'm powerless.

127. But there's more to it than that.

128. Who was right and who was wrong?

129. I couldn't even judge between good and evil.

130. All I could do was stand there as a helpless spectator.

131. If things stay this way, if I never learn anything,

132. then I'm going to lose all the things I care about before I even know they're in danger.

133. That's the feeling I get.

134. I've been thinking, too.

135. Ever since the Academy was attacked the other day,

136. I've felt there are massive organizations working in the shadows.

137. But we don't know anything,

138. not about Shadow Garden, or about the organization they're at war with.

139. Then what are you going to do about it, Princess Alexia Midgar?

140. We're weak, and we're ignorant.

141. But if the three of us work together, we should be able to do something.

142. After all, I'm the princess of the Midgar Kingdom,

143. and Rose is the princess of the Oriana Kingdom,

144. and you, Natsume Kafka.

145. As an author, surely you have a network of connections you can use.

146. We'll work together to gather information.

147. And what will you do with the information you find?

148. That depends on what it is.

149. But I'm thinking maybe the three of us can join forces and fight back?

150. We'll recruit allies, establish a base of operations...

151. Would that work?

152. Not even a shred of a solid plan.

153. Well, I said we'll gather information first!

154. We'll analyze it and then decide!

155. That would be nice, if you had the intellect to analyze anything.

156. Did you say something?

157. No, nothing at all.

158. So what do you say?

159. Are you with me, or aren't you?

160. I'll join you.

161. I don't have much to offer,

162. but I do have a bit of influence.

163. I'm in, too.

164. I'll use my writing connections to do some research.

165. That settles it.

166. We're now officially a team.

167. Even if one of us is from a different kingdom and social standing,

168. and there's absolutely no telling what's going on deep in her heart,

169. I choose to believe we're on the same side.

170. Joining forces to expose the truth of the world...

171. It's like the start of a legend.

172. We have the hero, the wise woman,

173. and the deadweight, all present and accounted for.

174. You're the deadweight, right?

175. The Sanctuary has been obliterated.

176. Yes.

177. Has the holy sword been recovered?

178. The holy sword was vaporized.

179. Any samples from the magical core?

180. Also vaporized.

181. The simplest and most reliable solution to the matter.

182. That's so like him.

183. After all, Lord Shadow is the only one who could have accomplished it.

184. The path he treads is the path we walk, as well.

185. And what of Beta?

186. She is guiding the princesses.

187. If she plays her cards right, she may be able to infiltrate their inner circles.

188. Then it's going well?

189. Yes.

190. Now, about the other matter...

191. Go on.

192. It appears our theory was correct.

193. Aurora, the Witch of Calamity, has another name:

194. the Demon Diablos.

195. I see.

196. So that's why he...

197. The stage for our next performance will be the Royal Capital of Midgar.

198. Make sure to be ready.

199. Yes!

200. Shall I report to Lord Shadow?

201. No need.

202. He knows everything.

203. I personally recommend this property, Ms. Luna.

204. It faces out onto the main road,

205. it gets plenty of sunlight, and it boasts a wide frontage.

206. Including the land, it's all worth 140 million zeni,

207. but I will give you a special discount and let you have it for only 120 million.

208. We would very much love to have Mitsugoshi, Ltd.

209. open a second store here in the Velgalta Empire.

210. I can see that.

211. But we do have to consider the reconstruction projects in the Sacred Land after that disaster...

212. But look at it! Prime property for only 120 million!

213. Yes, prime property, still on the market despite its exceptionally low price.

214. B-but that's only in the short term!

215. All we need is for a shopping center like Mitsugoshi to open,

216. and the city of Madlid will thrive!

217. Even I've heard about the Mitsugoshi in the Velgalta Imperial Capital,

218. and my humble domain is out in the middle of nowhere!

219. We need a Mitsugoshi here in Madlid!

220. Our future depends on it!

221. Oh, I know! I'll make it a hundred million zeni!

222. And I'll throw in priority use of the warehouses,

223. and temporary reduction measures on all forms of taxes.

224. The survey is complete. and temporary reduction measures on all forms of taxes.

225. Conclusion? Of course, in the event that you choose to construct a storefront,

226. It will work. Of course, in the event that you choose to construct a storefront,

227. And the liquid? I'll rally my entire domain and make it our top priority.

228. No doubt about it. I'll rally my entire domain and make it our top priority.

229. The feudal lord committee has already authorized me

230. It's petroleum. The feudal lord committee has already authorized me

231. to conscript the citizens for forced labor should you so desire.

232. So I humbly beg you! Please, turn our slum-

233. I mean, our shopping district into-

234. I'll take it.

235. Yes?

236. Our company will buy every property on this street.

237. I'm sorry, what did you say?

238. If you will accept our terms,

239. then we will redevelop this city, and make it the greatest city in Velgalta.

240. That is what I said.

241. Are you willing to expand the Nyle River's tributaries and build a canal?

242. Buy up every notable property along the tributaries of the Nyle River.

243. Right away!

244. Get ready.

245. It's time for the real estate bubble.

246. That reminds me, where's Delta?

247. She hasn't come back yet.

248. Do you think she's still in the Sacred Land?

249. Should we send someone to get her?

250. I wouldn't worry about it. She'll be back when it gets cold.

251. What do you think?

252. Yeah...

253. A very familiar architectural style, right here in another world.

254. Wood frame construction...

255. We couldn't have done it without the building techniques you taught us.

256. Is that so...

257. Our temporary base is complete.

258. Now the girls can begin their training in earnest.

259. You're really going to train them, too?

260. Yes, it's bound to be necessary.

261. If we're going to fight the Cult of Diablos,

262. we're going to need to enhance our individual strengths as we expand our operations.

263. Yeah, I guess that is how the story would work.

264. Besides, they want the power to fight against the cult.

265. Really?

266. Then allow me to impart a portion of my wisdom to them.

267. I will give them the power to stay true to their convictions in the darkest of shadows.

268. After all, kids living all on their own will at least need to know some self-defense techniques.

269. Lady Alpha...

270. We've received a message from the Oriana Kingdom.

271. They have informed us that the Royal Chancellor Perv Asshat

272. has set out to visit the Royal Capital of Midgar.

273. Perv Asshat...

274. So it begins.

275. Then it's true.

276. Yes, we have no choice but to place the entire Church of the Divine Teachings under suspicion.

277. The murdered archbishop, the man who killed him and took his place as acting archbishop -

278. they both belonged to the Cult.

279. But I don't know any more than that.

280. The evidence has been covered up.

281. And we can't even find a way to get back into the place they call the Sanctuary.

282. A facility of that size and scale

283. couldn't possibly be kept hidden without considerable influence in the public sphere.

284. And if we were looking for an organization that actually has that kind of power and influence...

285. Forget diplomacy!

286. We need to investigate the Divine Teachings!

287. If we tie this to the incident at the capital and say we're trying to find the cause of it,

288. even they can't brush us off-

289. I have suggested the same thing to Father-

290. I mean, His Majesty.

291. But he always gives me the same answer: "Don't make a move."

292. What?

293. It's what I expect from him and his "don't rock the boat" policies.

294. Considering the upcoming visit of King Oriana, ruler over one of our allied nations,

295. he probably doesn't want to cause undue trouble, especially not against the Church.

296. Undue trouble?

297. If we're going to spur him to action, we'll need to either find definitive evidence,

298. or show him that we have the power to overcome any difficulty that comes to the kingdom.

299. In that sense, it's fortunate that the Bushin Festival is being held this year.

300. The Bushin Festival...

301. The title of repeat winner of the Bushin Festival

302. will be the best thing to win more backing from the Knight Order.

303. And if I bring our nation the glory of victory in an international tournament,

304. then the people's support will be rock solid.

305. And when that happens,

306. then His Majesty and his entire council will be forced to hear what I have to say.

307. But, Iris...

308. what if Shadow Garden or the Cult of Diablos starts plotting something again?

309. They have been operating behind the scenes at every major event.

310. They could be at the Bushin Festival, too.

311. Alexia...

312. You have nothing to worry about.

313. I don't care what kind of powerful artifacts they have at their disposal.

314. My sword will not be defeated.

315. Iris, artifacts aren't the only weapons they have in their arsenal!

316. You were there, magical light engulfed the capital.

317. You saw it.

318. No human being can produce that kind of power.

319. As with what happened at the Academy,

320. the only explanation is that it was caused by an artifact housing enormous magical energy.

321. Iris, Shadow's power is..

322. Besides, I saw it.

323. I saw them sending an artifact out of control.

324. Yes, I saw it.

325. Iris...

326. Either way, I cannot run from this.

327. If they appear at the Bushin Festival, we merely have to defeat them:

328. the Cult, and Shadow Garden.

329. By the way, Alexia.

330. Might I ask why you went after them in the Sacred Land?

331. I only authorized you to audit the archbishop.

332. Nothing else.

333. When did I tell you to follow a suspicious organization and barge into questionable locations?

334. W-well, I didn't exactly follow them because I wanted to.

335. It was an emergency evacuation, or...

336. Willful negligence...

337. Oops! I think I'm getting lightheaded!

338. I'm off to the cold water bath!

339. My Crimson Knights lost their strongest members so soon after they were organized,

340. and I see no hope of rebuilding.

341. The Knight Order used to give me their support,

342. but even they are skeptical of me now.

343. I insisted on taking their best knights and then just let them die.

344. Of course they hate me.

345. I have to win the tournament.

346. I'll show them my power and cut open a path.

347. Just like before.

348. It's my only choice.

349. No...

350. His fencing that day...

351. That beautiful fencing...
