2. Impressive as always, Princess Iris!Copy !req
3. I always knew Her Highness
possesses extraordinary talent.Copy !req
4. You're amazing, Iris!Copy !req
5. He's out!Copy !req
6. The winner is Iris Midgar!Copy !req
7. Congratulations, Student Council President!Copy !req
8. You're the pride of the Royal Bushin method!Copy !req
9. With Princess Iris on our side,
Midgar will always be safe!Copy !req
10. The local citizens can handle restoring
public order in those remote regions.Copy !req
11. There's no reason you should have to travel
all the way out there to help, Princess Iris.Copy !req
12. After all, it won't do to take work away
from the Dark Knight Association.Copy !req
13. There are more important things for you to be doing.Copy !req
14. Things that only you can accomplish.Copy !req
15. Princess Iris!Copy !req
16. You've finally officially joined the Knights!Copy !req
17. She cuts such a dashing figure!Copy !req
18. You're the pride of the Midgar Kingdom!Copy !req
19. Princess Iris!Copy !req
20. Be a good audience memberCopy !req
21. and content yourself with
sitting back and enjoying the show.Copy !req
22. You expect me to do nothing but watch?Copy !req
23. Please be reasonable!Copy !req
24. If we can't use our magic,
even you are powerless against them!Copy !req
25. But why, Father?Copy !req
26. The Divine Teachings have-Copy !req
27. You have no proof.Copy !req
28. That's why I need to invoke your royal authority,Copy !req
29. so I can get proof!Copy !req
30. Iris...Copy !req
31. Acting impetuously will only create
an excess of enemies.Copy !req
32. Even if what you're doing is right,Copy !req
33. there's no guarantee that those who don't know the
circumstances will understand that it is right.Copy !req
34. But...Copy !req
35. Besides, with the Bushin Festival approaching,Copy !req
36. this is a time when we must welcome
many guests from other nations.Copy !req
37. During such a time,Copy !req
38. we cannot afford to present ourselves as
standing in opposition to the Divine Teachings.Copy !req
39. But we can't just let them get away with it!Copy !req
40. Iris!Copy !req
41. It sounds like you are so desperate
to prove yourself rightCopy !req
42. that you are willing to put the kingdom in danger.Copy !req
43. I will get results.Copy !req
44. I will prove that I have the power.Copy !req
45. I will...Copy !req
46. triumph!Copy !req
47. All of this, I'll risk it nowCopy !req
48. I just stretch out my hand until reaches my idealsCopy !req
49. The choices that extend before my eyesCopy !req
50. The gears of good and evil go onCopy !req
51. Toward just one conclusionCopy !req
52. Everything is a Choice of chanceCopy !req
53. And a signal to the next stepCopy !req
54. To the edge of possibilityCopy !req
55. I gaze at that destinationCopy !req
56. Only one, I don't need anything elseCopy !req
57. I only want to fix my gaze, to the oneCopy !req
58. I will never yield this belief and determinationCopy !req
59. I'll keep them hidden in my heartCopy !req
60. Highest, highest, I'm going onCopy !req
61. Go to the shadows that are truer than truthCopy !req
62. Highest, highest, I'll carry onCopy !req
63. Right or wrong, if you desire, maintain your aloofnessCopy !req
64. Once you get the hang of it,
these VIP seats sure are handy.Copy !req
65. Ask the maids for pretty much anything,
and they'll bring it to you, free of charge.Copy !req
66. Good morning.Copy !req
67. Good morning.Copy !req
68. Are you here to cheer for Claire again today?Copy !req
69. Uh, yes.Copy !req
70. And you're sitting here again?Copy !req
71. I have another match,Copy !req
72. so I've been released from
my official duties for the day.Copy !req
73. Is that coffee?Copy !req
74. That beverage they sell at Mitsugoshi?Copy !req
75. I love how it smells,Copy !req
76. but I have trouble with bitter flavors.Copy !req
77. Have you tried putting in a ton of milk and sugar,Copy !req
78. and turning it into coffee milk?Copy !req
79. Coffee milk?Copy !req
80. It's a magic spell that will make every kind
of coffee taste exactly the same.Copy !req
81. Magic...Copy !req
82. It's delicious.Copy !req
83. Hashtag elegant breakfast with the princess!Copy !req
84. This would totally go viral on the internet.Copy !req
85. Miss, your sword...Copy !req
86. Not allowed?Copy !req
87. Who's that?Copy !req
88. Do you think she's a beggar?Copy !req
89. What happened to security?Copy !req
90. Isn't that...Copy !req
91. I'm terribly sorry,Copy !req
92. but I'd like to check your invitation again, if I may.Copy !req
93. It's all right, I invited her.Copy !req
94. Princess Iris...Copy !req
95. Welcome, Beatrix the War Goddess.Copy !req
96. Beatrix the War Goddess?Copy !req
97. The legendary elf swordmaster?Copy !req
98. She's beautiful!Copy !req
99. Please, come with me.Copy !req
100. Oh, that's so cool.
War Goddess, swordmaster...Copy !req
101. I would absolutely love it if people said,
"Isn't he the legendary..."Copy !req
102. about me!Copy !req
103. Wait...Copy !req
104. They're just gonna come sit right next to me?Copy !req
105. It's been quite a while since the last time anyone's
seen you in public, hasn't it, Lady Beatrix?Copy !req
106. Yes, I'm looking for someone.Copy !req
107. My niece, she looks very much like me.Copy !req
108. Has anyone seen her?Copy !req
109. I'm zipping my lips.
If she is as beautiful as you, Lady Beatrix,Copy !req
110. If she is as beautiful as you, Lady Beatrix,Copy !req
111. Tight as a clam.
If she is as beautiful as you, Lady Beatrix,Copy !req
112. Tight as a clam.
I doubt I would ever forget if I had seen her.Copy !req
113. I doubt I would ever forget if I had seen her.Copy !req
114. I've heard that people have seen elves
frequently in this kingdom lately.Copy !req
115. Unfortunately, I haven't.Copy !req
116. I don't recall seeing her myself.Copy !req
117. I'm sorry.Copy !req
118. I was sure that if you asked around here,
there must be someone who knew her.Copy !req
119. But looking around, this might beCopy !req
120. the most background charactery I've ever been.
It's all right, elves have plenty of time.Copy !req
121. A background character
If I may ask, are there any competitors in the tournamentCopy !req
122. in the background of background characters
If I may ask, are there any competitors in the tournamentCopy !req
123. surrounding named characters.
that have caught your attention, Lady Beatrix?Copy !req
124. I love it.
that have caught your attention, Lady Beatrix?Copy !req
125. Cid.Copy !req
126. Cid.Copy !req
127. Cid?Copy !req
128. Cid?Copy !req
129. Cid has caught my attention.Copy !req
130. I'm sure he will grow stronger.Copy !req
131. No, I won't.Copy !req
132. He is a student at the Academy, but honestly,Copy !req
133. I don't think he's knight material.Copy !req
134. He doesn't even compare to his sister, Claire Kagenou.Copy !req
135. Kagenou?Copy !req
136. You don't mean he's the son of that baldy?Copy !req
137. Well, if that's what Lady Beatrix thinks,Copy !req
138. then I'm certain she must be right.Copy !req
139. Yes, of course!Copy !req
140. We'll look forward to his future.Copy !req
141. Wow, is this clueless woman really the War Goddess?Copy !req
142. She's Princess Iris's invited guest, so probably?Copy !req
143. But she doesn't look like she could
fight worth beans, either.Copy !req
144. Shh! They can hear you!Copy !req
145. I see.Copy !req
146. She definitely seems to have what it takes
to be called a War Goddess.Copy !req
147. Her looks, her personality, her title,
and even her strength.Copy !req
148. Everything about her is
perfectly natural and unembellished.Copy !req
149. That's why no one can see how powerful she really is.Copy !req
150. I have no complaints about the efficacy of this drug,Copy !req
151. but can we somehow stop it from making
his body odor so sickeningly sweet?Copy !req
152. Cover it up with perfume or something.Copy !req
153. Of course, my liege.Copy !req
154. All it takes is one little drugCopy !req
155. and you're reduced to a puppet that
can only do as he is commanded.Copy !req
156. I truly pity you, Your Majesty.Copy !req
157. But let me reassure you.Copy !req
158. I have no doubt your dear Rose will come back
to save her poor, pitiful father.Copy !req
159. Rose...Copy !req
160. If she had been a good girl and given me the key,Copy !req
161. I wouldn't have minded letting her roam free.Copy !req
162. Oh, wait...Copy !req
163. She was already showing symptoms of possession.Copy !req
164. That makes her prime material for
the Cult's experimentation.Copy !req
165. She would have ended up in our custody either way.Copy !req
166. Even assuming that Rose might fail to appear,Copy !req
167. in that case, I only have to use this puppet
to actually slay the King of Midgar.Copy !req
168. If that happens,Copy !req
169. there will be war between the two kingdoms,Copy !req
170. and Oriana will likely be destroyed.Copy !req
171. My current rank and status will be
so much dust in the wind.Copy !req
172. But that doesn't matter.Copy !req
173. The arrangements are already in place to install
a puppet leader as the next King of Midgar.Copy !req
174. I'll probably have the highest chance of success
if I act during Iris Midgar's match.Copy !req
175. But this Mundane Mann...Copy !req
176. I looked into his background but found nothing.Copy !req
177. I have no doubt that he is a resident of the underworld,Copy !req
178. and one in a very dangerous position, at that.Copy !req
179. What purpose can he possibly have
for coming out into the light?Copy !req
180. I've deployed the greatest number of soldiers possible.Copy !req
181. But now I'm worried about Shadow Garden.Copy !req
182. How will they react to all of this?Copy !req
183. It would appear that they are working
in conjunction with Rose.Copy !req
184. You stink.Copy !req
185. You stink.Copy !req
186. How dare you speak to His Majesty in that way?Copy !req
187. Guards, remove this woman immediately!Copy !req
188. Lord Perv!Copy !req
189. Princess Iris?Copy !req
190. This woman is my invited guest.Copy !req
191. She is Beatrix the War Goddess.Copy !req
192. Beatrix?Copy !req
193. The woman who may have awakened
the heroes' blood within?Copy !req
194. That Beatrix?Copy !req
195. Sorry.Copy !req
196. No, I'm sorry.Copy !req
197. I may not have known who you are,
but that was no excuse.Copy !req
198. Please, relax and enjoy the Bushin Festival.Copy !req
199. The War Goddess?Copy !req
200. What is she doing at this tournament of all places?Copy !req
201. I'm going to have to look for an
opportunity to eliminate her.Copy !req
202. But how can I?Copy !req
203. She's even better with a sword than Iris.Copy !req
204. Will it even be possible to
assassinate the King of Midgar?Copy !req
205. Yes, it will.Copy !req
206. As long as Rose makes an appearance,
everything will be fine.Copy !req
207. I'll just have to capture the girl,Copy !req
208. and proceed with our Oriana operations as planned.Copy !req
209. There's nothing to worry about.Copy !req
210. She will be here.Copy !req
211. There shouldn't be anything to worry about.Copy !req
212. Potty emergency...Copy !req
213. Why should I be envious of
any of the ignorant masses?Copy !req
214. That Claire Kagenou's not a bad fighter.Copy !req
215. Even the great Princess Iris recognized her talent,Copy !req
216. and it looks like she's gotten even better.Copy !req
217. She does have potential,
but I don't think she'll be a threat.Copy !req
218. Honestly, if only all of them could be at her level,Copy !req
219. my job would be so much easier.Copy !req
220. The winner is Claire Kagenou!Copy !req
221. Princess Iris! Princess Iris!Copy !req
222. It's finally time, Princess Iris!Copy !req
223. I know you'll win this, Your Highness!Copy !req
224. Princess Iris, bring us victory!Copy !req
225. Princess Iris!
Princess Iris!Copy !req
226. These cheers are my strength.Copy !req
227. And my mission.Copy !req
228. "As long as we have Iris Midgar,
the kingdom will be safe."Copy !req
229. I need them to think that, to keep thinking that.Copy !req
230. And to make sure they do...Copy !req
231. Mundane Mann...Copy !req
232. He is, without a doubt, a powerful opponent.Copy !req
233. Even standing face to face with him,
I can't sense an iota of strength from him.Copy !req
234. But there's something about him,
something unfathomable.Copy !req
235. Nevertheless, I'm still confident I can defeat him.Copy !req
236. I'll give it everything I've got,
as soon as the match begins.Copy !req
237. Whatever it is that he's hiding,Copy !req
238. I won't give him even a second to reveal it!Copy !req
239. I will finish this with one blow!Copy !req
240. Moving on to our second match:Copy !req
241. Iris Midgar versus Mundane Mann.Copy !req
242. Let the fight begin!Copy !req
243. He's probably goofing off
and checking out the food stands!Copy !req
244. I was sure he just...Copy !req
245. How?Copy !req
246. He's so far...Copy !req
247. What?Copy !req
248. You're not attacking?Copy !req
249. Impossible...Copy !req
250. I backed away from him?Copy !req
251. I instinctively sensed my death.Copy !req
252. Don't be afraid.Copy !req
253. Fear makes your enemy seem more powerful.Copy !req
254. Reject the fear and step forward,Copy !req
255. right into his striking range!Copy !req
256. He cut me?Copy !req
257. It can't be.
Was it an illusion?Copy !req
258. But he definitely reached me.Copy !req
259. And that means that this entire arena
is in his sword's striking range!Copy !req
260. I've almost reached the VIP seats,
but I haven't seen a single security guard.Copy !req
261. The Cult of Diablos...Copy !req
262. These tactics...Copy !req
263. I knew it was you.Copy !req
264. Go forward,Copy !req
265. and fulfill your mission.Copy !req
266. It's his eyes.Copy !req
267. And a slight shift in his center of gravity.Copy !req
268. Those tiny changes are enough to make me
hallucinate that he struck me.Copy !req
269. It's not some trick that relies on an artifact.Copy !req
270. It is most definitely his own true skill.Copy !req
271. I know that much!Copy !req
272. I know, but...Copy !req
273. If he can do that, that would make him
the world's most powerful...Copy !req
274. Hey, what's going on with Princess Iris?Copy !req
275. She just keeps staggering
back and forth across the arena.Copy !req
276. Don't tell me she's afraid?Copy !req
277. Shut your mouth!
That's Princess Iris!Copy !req
278. Princess Iris!Copy !req
279. I don't believe this!
How can you say that?Copy !req
280. Princess Iris! Princess Iris!Copy !req
281. Don't let him confuse you!Copy !req
282. Don't stand still!Copy !req
283. Whether they're illusions or real swordstrikes...Copy !req
284. I will strike them all down together!Copy !req
285. How?Copy !req
286. His sword is...Copy !req
287. in its sheath?Copy !req
288. How? Is it an illusion?Copy !req
289. No, everything else was.Copy !req
290. A leading gaze...Copy !req
291. and slight movements of his body were all it took
to make me see things that weren't there!Copy !req
292. To make me think he was holding his sword!Copy !req
293. What's wrong?Copy !req
294. We're just getting started.Copy !req
295. Aren't we, Iris Midgar?Copy !req
296. It can't be...Copy !req
297. She lost?Copy !req
298. No, not Princess Iris.Copy !req
299. Impossible...Copy !req
300. Iris Midgar, defeated before
she could make a single move?Copy !req
301. And by such a...Copy !req
302. You mean to tell me that he has that kind of skill?Copy !req
303. Not even the strongest Dark Knight I know
would be capable of a stunt like that.Copy !req
304. No, such a thing should not be possible!Copy !req
305. An amazing technique...Copy !req
306. I want to fight him myself.Copy !req
307. Hey, isn't that...Copy !req
308. No, it can't be.Copy !req
309. But...Copy !req
310. You're kidding, right?Copy !req
311. She's here!Copy !req
312. You've finally decided to come back to us,
my dear Princess Rose.Copy !req
313. His Majesty has eagerly awaited your return.Copy !req
314. Rose...Copy !req
315. I'm so glad you're back...Copy !req
316. Please come closer...Copy !req
317. Father...Copy !req
318. I've come to apologize,Copy !req
319. for everything I've done,Copy !req
320. and for what I'm about to do.Copy !req
321. I've made mistakes,Copy !req
322. and I'm sure I will make at least one more.Copy !req
323. But as the princess of the Oriana Kingdom,Copy !req
324. and as your daughter...Copy !req
325. I will follow the path that I believe in.Copy !req
326. I forgive you all your sins.Copy !req
327. Hey! I didn't instruct you to say that!Copy !req
328. How dare you think you can...Copy !req
329. Thank you...Copy !req
330. Father.Copy !req
331. Rose...Copy !req
332. I love y...Copy !req
333. What in the...Copy !req
334. You would kill your own father
without a second thought?Copy !req
335. Have you no humanity?Copy !req
336. How dare you?Copy !req
337. Who do you think was supposed to
benefit from this puppet's-Copy !req
338. This is my final official act.Copy !req
339. Stop her!Copy !req
340. Is that the choice you've made?Copy !req
341. Y-you...Copy !req
342. The time has come to shed my disguise.Copy !req
343. You're...Copy !req
344. But you can't be!Copy !req
345. My name is Shadow...Copy !req
346. Oops, sorry.Copy !req
347. My name is Shadow-Copy !req
348. The Stylish Bandit Slayer!Copy !req
349. Stylish...Copy !req
350. Bandit Slayer?Copy !req
351. It was you!Copy !req
352. You're the one with such beautiful fencing skills!Copy !req
353. From the day I first saw you wield your sword,Copy !req
354. I've been determined to follow
the path of a fencer myself!Copy !req
355. Anyone who's running is a bandit!Copy !req
356. Anyone who's not running is a well-trained bandit!Copy !req
357. He's a barbarian!Copy !req
358. Run!Copy !req
359. D-don't kill m-Copy !req
360. Who the hell are you?Copy !req
361. Take this! Stylish Sword!Copy !req
362. Boss! No!Copy !req
363. Go on, run!
And leave the money behind!Copy !req
364. Rough day for you, huh?Copy !req
365. Be careful on your way home, okay?Copy !req
366. Wait!Copy !req
367. Just who are you?Copy !req
368. Me?Copy !req
369. Good question.Copy !req
370. I'm still in the middle of my training, so...Copy !req
371. I guess you could say I'm a stylish bandit slayer,Copy !req
372. just passing through.Copy !req
373. The Stylish Bandit Slayer...Copy !req
374. Shadow...Copy !req
375. You were the Stylish Bandit Slayer all along?Copy !req
376. I thought that was a therianthrope girl...Copy !req
377. Even at that age, you never feared the solitude.Copy !req
378. You continued the fight against evil.Copy !req
379. But I...Copy !req
380. I wanted to end my pain,Copy !req
381. and I almost chose death.Copy !req
382. I still have the power to fight,Copy !req
383. but it's so hard, and I'm so scared...Copy !req
384. Raise your head.Copy !req
385. Your fight has not yet ended.Copy !req
386. I know!Copy !req
387. Hey!Copy !req
388. President Rose!Copy !req
389. Get out of here, now!Copy !req
390. Come back here!
Don't let her get away!Copy !req
391. Sty- I mean, Shadow!Copy !req
392. Dammit!Copy !req
393. Where are my reinforcements?Copy !req
394. Isn't anybody here?Copy !req
395. I'll do it.Copy !req
396. Beatrix the War Goddess...Copy !req
397. But now I can...Copy !req
398. People say there is no night with no dawnCopy !req
399. But I would think it's better without a dawnCopy !req
400. The scars we want to hideCopy !req
401. All the memories we want to forgetCopy !req
402. The sun shines light on all of themCopy !req
403. Looking for falling starsCopy !req
404. I would wanderCopy !req
405. Until the moment I met youCopy !req
406. Those stars that twinkle in the skyCopy !req
407. Lead to a path of hope, I'll go to the end of itCopy !req
408. I can go forward with no more uncertaintyCopy !req
409. I'll chase after the prayers that traverse the dark nightCopy !req
410. Because even if I can't reach you yetCopy !req
411. I still want to tell youCopy !req
412. Thank youCopy !req
