﻿1
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:11,553
A few days before calamity arrives

2
00:00:11,594 --> 00:00:13,555
O Great Particle Storm,

3
00:00:13,596 --> 00:00:16,558
we're offering you a sacrifice,
just as you wished.

4
00:00:16,599 --> 00:00:17,642
Show mercy!

5
00:00:17,642 --> 00:00:19,602
Stop this terrible wind!

6
00:00:19,644 --> 00:00:22,647
What… What have we done to anger you?

7
00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:25,608
How pathetic.

8
00:00:25,608 --> 00:00:28,611
For a time, your blind faith was amusing.

9
00:00:28,611 --> 00:00:30,572
Perhaps even moving.

10
00:00:31,573 --> 00:00:34,534
But I've grown rather bored of it.

11
00:00:34,576 --> 00:00:35,618
Please!

12
00:00:35,618 --> 00:00:38,621
For hundreds of years,
we've offered you blood sacrifices.

13
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:40,582
So many lives.

14
00:00:40,623 --> 00:00:43,585
I beg you. Spare our village!

15
00:00:43,585 --> 00:00:45,587
Enough.

16
00:00:47,547 --> 00:00:49,549
I shall answer your prayers

17
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:52,636
and welcome you to the land
beyond the storm.

18
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:55,639
Soon…

19
00:00:56,556 --> 00:00:59,643
every minian will join you.

20
00:02:25,061 --> 00:02:28,189
Episode 17
Atrazek the Particle Storm, Part Two

21
00:02:34,112 --> 00:02:35,113
Now, Mestelexil!

22
00:02:36,072 --> 00:02:38,074
Finish this however you please!

23
00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:54,090
Four by the banks of corrosive fluid.

24
00:02:54,090 --> 00:02:56,176
Nest of tales.
Weave into deep eyelids, Engrave.

25
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:58,094
DAGR!

26
00:03:06,144 --> 00:03:08,063
What's this?

27
00:03:08,104 --> 00:03:11,066
Someone dares to put up a resistance?

28
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:13,151
Pathetic.

29
00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:19,115
Everything in this world
is composed of crude, weak particles.

30
00:03:19,115 --> 00:03:22,118
Your only purpose is to entertain me.

31
00:03:22,118 --> 00:03:25,121
Like sand dancing in the wind.

32
00:03:25,121 --> 00:03:26,122
Monster.

33
00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:28,124
Explain yourself!

34
00:03:28,124 --> 00:03:30,168
Why are you barreling toward Aureatia?

35
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:33,088
One who'll soon be obliterated

36
00:03:33,129 --> 00:03:35,090
could never understand.

37
00:03:38,134 --> 00:03:40,136
Watch out for the swords, my child.

38
00:03:40,136 --> 00:03:41,137
You're within his range!

39
00:03:41,137 --> 00:03:44,099
No problem, Mom!
Just watch me!

40
00:03:44,099 --> 00:03:45,141
Not happening!

41
00:04:00,115 --> 00:04:02,158
Nel Tseu the Burning Blade

42
00:04:02,158 --> 00:04:05,078
and Mushain the Howling Blade.

43
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:11,126
Kiyazuna the Axle,
I've destroyed your prized golem.

44
00:04:11,167 --> 00:04:13,086
Now I come for you.

45
00:04:23,138 --> 00:04:25,098
Give me the Blasting Blade.

46
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:27,100
Like hell I will, you idiot!

47
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:33,106
Stop! Don't go near my mom!

48
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:34,149
Stand down.

49
00:04:34,191 --> 00:04:36,151
You're too far away.

50
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:40,113
Fire at me
and she might be caught in the blast.

51
00:04:48,163 --> 00:04:50,123
We don't have time for this!

52
00:04:50,165 --> 00:04:53,126
The Particle Storm is coming!

53
00:04:57,172 --> 00:05:00,175
Insects made of meat and metal.

54
00:05:00,175 --> 00:05:04,179
Your fleeing is as comical as it is sad.

55
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:07,098
Get off of my roof, Toroa!

56
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:09,100
The Blasting Blade, woman!

57
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:12,145
Unless you'd prefer death
to handling over an enchanted sword.

58
00:05:12,145 --> 00:05:14,105
I would.

59
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:17,150
Following the orders of a witless b......
is worse than dying.

60
00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:21,154
Kiyazuna the Axle bows to nobody!

61
00:05:24,074 --> 00:05:25,158
Howling Blade.

62
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:31,122
Did that hag deliberately slow down

63
00:05:31,122 --> 00:05:33,166
so I'd be forced to take care of the wind?

64
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,085
What's she thinking?

65
00:05:35,126 --> 00:05:36,169
Twin heavens intertwine.

66
00:05:37,087 --> 00:05:38,171
Sun vortex gather and disperse
in the abyss.

67
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:41,174
Pierce through the dim vastness
of rising towers and falling flowers.

68
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:43,135
Let the megaliths rotate forever.

69
00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:48,098
How?

70
00:05:51,184 --> 00:05:54,146
The deep blue fantasy temple
drowns in mercury.

71
00:05:54,146 --> 00:05:56,148
Record a walk
through paintings of fantasy.

72
00:05:56,189 --> 00:05:58,066
The prophecy of immature crystals

73
00:05:58,108 --> 00:06:00,152
is formed from 9,000 words…
Mestelexil…

74
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:02,112
what are you?

75
00:06:10,078 --> 00:06:12,164
If only I hadn't been in the way,

76
00:06:12,164 --> 00:06:14,124
my child could have tried anything.

77
00:06:14,124 --> 00:06:17,169
VX gas, thermobaric bombs, the works.

78
00:06:17,169 --> 00:06:20,130
I didn't expect this clown to interfere.

79
00:06:20,130 --> 00:06:23,133
You'll pay, you walking corpse!

80
00:06:26,094 --> 00:06:28,180
That's it. I've lost my patience!

81
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:30,098
Huh?

82
00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:32,142
Vajgir, the Frostvenom Blade.

83
00:06:32,142 --> 00:06:35,061
The crystals from this sword
will devour all life!

84
00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:39,149
Bone, blood, iron,
even constructs without hearts.

85
00:06:39,149 --> 00:06:41,151
Anything alive will be consumed.

86
00:06:42,152 --> 00:06:45,071
Including this vehicle.

87
00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:48,158
Moron!

88
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:51,077
The Blasting Blade. Now!

89
00:06:51,077 --> 00:06:52,120
I'd rather burn!

90
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,122
You need me to stop the storm!

91
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:57,167
My Howling Blade can throw it off course
and make an opening.

92
00:06:58,126 --> 00:07:02,130
Even if the entity within is well armored,
the Blasting Blade will kill it.

93
00:07:02,172 --> 00:07:05,133
Toroa the Awful will not fail!

94
00:07:05,133 --> 00:07:08,136
What gives you the right
to boss me around?

95
00:07:25,112 --> 00:07:27,155
You put on an impressive performance,

96
00:07:27,155 --> 00:07:29,116
to your detriment.

97
00:07:29,116 --> 00:07:33,120
Had you wailed in fear and reverence,
I might have been merciful.

98
00:07:37,082 --> 00:07:39,126
What a pointless death.

99
00:07:59,104 --> 00:08:02,149
What the hell just happened?

100
00:08:02,149 --> 00:08:06,153
A pillar… of iron from the sky.

101
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:12,117
Impact confirmed.

102
00:08:12,117 --> 00:08:13,118
Sine Riverstead

103
00:08:13,118 --> 00:08:16,163
The coordinates were 1,118, 362.

104
00:08:20,167 --> 00:08:22,085
Perfect shot, right?

105
00:08:22,127 --> 00:08:23,128
What now?

106
00:08:23,128 --> 00:08:24,171
Did I kill the whirlwind?

107
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:26,173
No.
Hmm?

108
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:28,133
It wasn't a direct hit.

109
00:08:28,133 --> 00:08:31,136
My visual calculation was off.
Shoot again.

110
00:08:31,136 --> 00:08:33,138
You gotta be kidding me.

111
00:08:33,138 --> 00:08:34,139
You're useless.

112
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:37,142
Whatever, I'll just keep shooting.

113
00:08:38,101 --> 00:08:39,144
Mele's ready to fire again.

114
00:08:40,103 --> 00:08:41,104
What's our mark?

115
00:08:41,104 --> 00:08:42,147
We need accurate coordinates.

116
00:08:42,147 --> 00:08:44,149
Hey. Short stack.

117
00:08:45,067 --> 00:08:47,110
Huh? Are you talking to me?

118
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:49,154
Yeah, you barely come up to my ankle.

119
00:08:50,072 --> 00:08:52,115
Order your men to fix the road
to the next town,

120
00:08:53,075 --> 00:08:55,160
and make sure you replace
the farming tools in the village.

121
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,161
All of them.

122
00:08:56,161 --> 00:08:58,121
Um… but I…

123
00:08:59,081 --> 00:09:00,165
I'm with the comms unit.

124
00:09:00,165 --> 00:09:03,126
Then communicate that to your higher-ups.

125
00:09:03,168 --> 00:09:06,171
Gonna add more stuff too
every time I fire.

126
00:09:07,172 --> 00:09:12,135
You've got a lotta nerve targeting
the Sine Riverstead, Particle Storm.

127
00:09:12,135 --> 00:09:14,137
Okay. You've got this, Kuuro.

128
00:09:14,137 --> 00:09:17,140
Hey! Listen, the wind's so strong.

129
00:09:17,140 --> 00:09:18,141
We should move!

130
00:09:18,183 --> 00:09:21,144
No. I need a close vantage point.

131
00:09:22,104 --> 00:09:23,146
My data must be accurate.

132
00:09:24,147 --> 00:09:26,108
That thing's actually a wurm.

133
00:09:26,149 --> 00:09:29,111
It uses Force Arts
to cloak itself in sand,

134
00:09:29,111 --> 00:09:32,114
peering out at its prey
from the eye of a raging storm.

135
00:09:33,115 --> 00:09:35,075
I should hide myself as well.

136
00:09:35,117 --> 00:09:36,118
No.

137
00:09:36,118 --> 00:09:38,078
That would just obstruct my vision.

138
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,121
I need to see.

139
00:09:39,121 --> 00:09:41,123
Wait! Let me go!

140
00:09:41,123 --> 00:09:43,125
I can get a closer look
so you don't have to.

141
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:45,085
Absolutely not!

142
00:09:45,127 --> 00:09:47,129
Why throw your life away for nothing?

143
00:09:47,129 --> 00:09:49,172
But… Kuuro, I…

144
00:09:52,134 --> 00:09:56,138
Coordinates… 1,127, 355.

145
00:10:06,148 --> 00:10:07,149
Another miss!

146
00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:09,109
It's no use.

147
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:10,152
Clairvoyance isn't working.

148
00:10:11,069 --> 00:10:12,112
The red chain removes

149
00:10:12,154 --> 00:10:13,155
the pivot of the void,

150
00:10:13,155 --> 00:10:17,075
and the light-form appears once again…

151
00:10:17,075 --> 00:10:18,118
My poor back.

152
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:20,162
Hey, Mom! Look!

153
00:10:20,162 --> 00:10:23,123
Look! I'm as good as new!

154
00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:26,084
You converted the crystals
using Craft Arts!

155
00:10:26,126 --> 00:10:29,087
That's my clever child!

156
00:10:29,171 --> 00:10:32,132
All right. You're going down first, Toroa.

157
00:10:32,174 --> 00:10:34,176
My golems will annihilate you!

158
00:10:34,176 --> 00:10:37,137
That won't be necessary.

159
00:10:37,179 --> 00:10:40,098
I hold the Blasting Blade.

160
00:10:40,098 --> 00:10:41,141
What? Damn you!

161
00:10:41,183 --> 00:10:44,144
I have a deep understanding of this sword.

162
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:48,106
And now, I'll use it to fulfill
the promise I made earlier.

163
00:10:48,106 --> 00:10:50,108
What's that supposed to mean?

164
00:10:50,108 --> 00:10:53,111
I'll kill the Particle Storm.

165
00:10:53,111 --> 00:10:57,115
No. I came here to make him suffer
by my own hand.

166
00:10:57,157 --> 00:11:00,077
Mestelexil! You kill him!

167
00:11:00,118 --> 00:11:02,162
Yeah! You got it!

168
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:06,083
Heathens!
What have you done?

169
00:11:06,124 --> 00:11:07,125
What was that blast?

170
00:11:07,167 --> 00:11:09,169
I have no idea!

171
00:11:10,087 --> 00:11:12,172
Who cares? You're in my way!

172
00:11:13,090 --> 00:11:14,174
Shut up already!

173
00:11:15,092 --> 00:11:18,095
Die, Particle Storm!

174
00:11:20,097 --> 00:11:22,182
A massive dragonkin species.
Lacks limbs and wings, similar to a snake.

175
00:11:24,101 --> 00:11:28,105
Behold,
the power that is worshiped and feared.

176
00:11:28,105 --> 00:11:31,108
Fall to your knees
and beg me to take pity on you.

177
00:11:32,067 --> 00:11:33,110
You call that power?

178
00:11:33,151 --> 00:11:36,113
It's nothing
compared to what I have in store.

179
00:11:37,072 --> 00:11:39,157
You won't escape me, Particle Storm.

180
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:43,161
Escape, eh?

181
00:11:44,121 --> 00:11:45,163
You swine.

182
00:11:45,163 --> 00:11:47,165
Impudent swine!

183
00:11:47,165 --> 00:11:49,126
Watch now,

184
00:11:49,126 --> 00:11:52,087
as I eviscerate you!

185
00:11:53,130 --> 00:11:56,091
Charijisuya the Blasting…

186
00:11:58,176 --> 00:11:59,177
Huh?

187
00:12:03,140 --> 00:12:05,183
Damn it! Now you attack?

188
00:12:07,102 --> 00:12:09,104
How dare you?

189
00:12:16,153 --> 00:12:19,114
I considered many ways of killing you.

190
00:12:20,073 --> 00:12:24,077
Sadly, you're surrounded
by thousands of layers of shifting armor.

191
00:12:24,161 --> 00:12:28,081
Napalm or other direct attacks
would prove to be futile.

192
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:29,166
This seems to be working.

193
00:12:29,166 --> 00:12:32,127
A directed energy weapon.

194
00:12:32,127 --> 00:12:35,088
Even a being
as strong as the Great Particle Storm

195
00:12:35,088 --> 00:12:39,134
can't defend against ultra-magnified
microwave induction heating.

196
00:12:39,134 --> 00:12:43,138
Yeah! See?
I can create anything, you big wurm!

197
00:12:47,142 --> 00:12:51,146
Now taste the vengeance of a parent
whose children were slaughtered.

198
00:12:51,146 --> 00:12:53,148
Suffer and die!

199
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:09,122
Huh?

200
00:13:13,085 --> 00:13:15,170
That coward! He ran away!

201
00:13:27,099 --> 00:13:29,184
Kuuro, please, let's leave now.

202
00:13:31,103 --> 00:13:34,106
Cuneigh, time weakens all of us.

203
00:13:34,106 --> 00:13:35,190
None of us can escape death.

204
00:13:36,191 --> 00:13:37,192
Not even me.

205
00:13:39,069 --> 00:13:41,113
Despite that…

206
00:13:41,113 --> 00:13:42,155
…don't ask me to run away.

207
00:13:43,156 --> 00:13:47,077
Believe in… my vision. Please!

208
00:13:47,119 --> 00:13:49,079
I'm not denying that you can see, Kuuro.

209
00:13:49,079 --> 00:13:50,122
Your vision's perfect!

210
00:13:50,122 --> 00:13:53,083
That's why the attacks
didn't hit the storm!

211
00:13:54,126 --> 00:13:56,128
What are you trying to say?

212
00:13:56,128 --> 00:13:57,171
Think hard!

213
00:13:57,171 --> 00:13:59,173
Your Clairvoyance
can see everything, right?

214
00:14:00,132 --> 00:14:02,134
So if there's something you can't see,

215
00:14:02,134 --> 00:14:05,095
it must be
because you don't want to see it!

216
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:06,180
You chose to miss those shots, Kuuro!

217
00:14:07,097 --> 00:14:08,098
You're wrong!

218
00:14:08,098 --> 00:14:10,100
I was following the plan that we…

219
00:14:12,102 --> 00:14:14,104
Could that actually be true?

220
00:14:15,105 --> 00:14:18,108
If the plan worked,
I'd no longer be useful.

221
00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:20,110
Aureatia would kill me.

222
00:14:23,113 --> 00:14:27,117
My Clairvoyance unconsciously chose
not to see the best coordinates,

223
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:30,078
because failing
was the best outcome for me.

224
00:14:31,121 --> 00:14:33,123
Perhaps my perception is clear.

225
00:14:33,165 --> 00:14:36,126
I've just been fighting
against a possible future.

226
00:14:37,169 --> 00:14:41,089
Jeez. Didn't realize I was so dense.

227
00:14:44,843 --> 00:14:47,763
Understand now? Your eyes still work.

228
00:14:49,765 --> 00:14:50,766
Yeah.

229
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:54,770
My world hasn't gone dark, after all.

230
00:14:55,771 --> 00:14:56,814
I'm still me.

231
00:14:56,855 --> 00:14:58,732
You okay?

232
00:14:58,816 --> 00:15:00,818
I carry a secret wish.

233
00:15:02,778 --> 00:15:04,738
The aim of a fool.

234
00:15:05,781 --> 00:15:06,782
The truth is…

235
00:15:06,824 --> 00:15:09,743
I never wanted to see anybody die.

236
00:15:10,786 --> 00:15:13,831
My eyes weren't failing,
and now I know why.

237
00:15:13,831 --> 00:15:16,750
I have to use them in a different way…

238
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:17,793
to save other people.

239
00:15:19,753 --> 00:15:20,796
Kuuro!

240
00:15:20,796 --> 00:15:21,797
What are you…

241
00:15:22,756 --> 00:15:25,759
No! No, wait! You have to listen to me!

242
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,764
Mele, one more shot.

243
00:15:31,807 --> 00:15:34,768
This is it. The final blow.

244
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:39,773
1,360, 628!

245
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,845
He is the one
with transcendent perception,

246
00:16:10,721 --> 00:16:13,849
who understands the world
more completely than any living being.

247
00:16:15,768 --> 00:16:18,812
The one who can detect
each of his target's five senses,

248
00:16:18,812 --> 00:16:23,776
and instantly identify
the best way to deliver a killing blow.

249
00:16:24,777 --> 00:16:28,781
The one with the ability
to subconsciously choose the ideal path,

250
00:16:28,822 --> 00:16:30,741
the safest route,

251
00:16:30,741 --> 00:16:32,785
thanks to his masterful intuition.

252
00:16:33,786 --> 00:16:36,747
He is the bearer of Clairvoyance,

253
00:16:36,747 --> 00:16:38,832
and though he could let
his omniscience lead him,

254
00:16:38,832 --> 00:16:41,752
he would rather choose his own fate.

255
00:16:44,838 --> 00:16:46,799
Kuuro! No!

256
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,761
You know… this is fine.

257
00:16:51,762 --> 00:16:53,764
My wish came true.

258
00:16:54,765 --> 00:16:59,770
Seer. Leprechaun.
He is Kuuro the Cautious.

259
00:17:00,771 --> 00:17:01,772
Damn it!

260
00:17:01,772 --> 00:17:03,816
That was supposed to be my kill!

261
00:17:03,816 --> 00:17:05,818
Now I have to hunt them down!

262
00:17:05,818 --> 00:17:07,778
Uh… Mom?

263
00:17:08,821 --> 00:17:11,782
You're on my list too, Toroa the Awful!

264
00:17:11,782 --> 00:17:14,785
No. My business here is done.

265
00:17:14,785 --> 00:17:16,787
The Blasting Blade is mine.

266
00:17:17,746 --> 00:17:18,789
I've won.

267
00:17:18,831 --> 00:17:21,792
That's mighty big talk
coming from a dead man!

268
00:17:22,751 --> 00:17:23,794
I am immortal.

269
00:17:24,753 --> 00:17:26,797
Resurrected from hell to gather swords.

270
00:17:29,758 --> 00:17:31,760
Help! Someone!

271
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,845
Kuuro needs a healer, quick!

272
00:17:33,762 --> 00:17:34,763
He can't die!

273
00:17:34,763 --> 00:17:37,766
Please, somebody!

274
00:17:37,766 --> 00:17:38,767
Save him!
Look!

275
00:17:38,767 --> 00:17:40,769
A tiny bird landed on my shoulder!

276
00:17:40,769 --> 00:17:43,772
A harpy? No, that's a homunculus.

277
00:17:43,772 --> 00:17:45,816
Aureatian soldiers
are camping up ahead!

278
00:17:46,817 --> 00:17:48,819
Kuuro just helped them save
a bunch of people!

279
00:17:49,737 --> 00:17:50,821
But they shot him!

280
00:17:50,821 --> 00:17:52,781
The observer.

281
00:17:52,781 --> 00:17:53,782
Huh?

282
00:17:53,824 --> 00:17:55,826
During the fight,
I noticed someone watching us.

283
00:17:55,826 --> 00:17:58,787
I picked up something too on my radar!

284
00:17:58,787 --> 00:18:01,749
Well then,
why didn't you mention it before?

285
00:18:02,833 --> 00:18:04,835
He must've been behind the shots

286
00:18:04,835 --> 00:18:06,795
that took out the Particle Storm.

287
00:18:07,755 --> 00:18:09,840
Facing great danger
to protect the village.

288
00:18:10,841 --> 00:18:13,761
He should be saved.

289
00:18:13,844 --> 00:18:16,722
Wow! He sounds amazing!

290
00:18:16,764 --> 00:18:18,766
Why should I care?

291
00:18:18,766 --> 00:18:19,808
Because he's…

292
00:18:19,808 --> 00:18:21,769
…important.

293
00:18:21,769 --> 00:18:23,771
He… means so much to me.

294
00:18:23,771 --> 00:18:26,815
Please help Kuuro. I can't lose him.

295
00:18:26,857 --> 00:18:28,817
I'll carry him.

296
00:18:30,778 --> 00:18:31,820
He… He's this way!

297
00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:33,781
It'll take until nightfall.

298
00:18:33,822 --> 00:18:35,783
He'll bleed out before you can get to him.

299
00:18:36,742 --> 00:18:38,786
Good point.
You should fix your vehicle.

300
00:18:38,827 --> 00:18:42,748
What? Do you really think
I'm gonna go along with this crap?

301
00:18:42,831 --> 00:18:43,832
Don't worry.

302
00:18:43,832 --> 00:18:45,793
You'll be rewarded.

303
00:18:48,796 --> 00:18:50,798
I'll return the Blasting Blade.

304
00:18:50,798 --> 00:18:52,758
You're serious?

305
00:18:52,758 --> 00:18:54,843
But, Mom, wait… I…

306
00:18:56,762 --> 00:18:59,765
Kiyazuna the Axle bows to nobody!

307
00:19:00,808 --> 00:19:02,768
Knock yourself out.

308
00:19:07,815 --> 00:19:09,817
Uh, hey, Mom?

309
00:19:09,817 --> 00:19:13,737
Is it, um, okay if I leave this here?

310
00:19:13,737 --> 00:19:16,740
Hold on.
You said you loved the sword before.

311
00:19:16,782 --> 00:19:17,783
Why leave it?

312
00:19:17,783 --> 00:19:19,785
'Cause I haven't beat Toroa yet.

313
00:19:19,785 --> 00:19:20,786
Huh?

314
00:19:20,786 --> 00:19:23,789
I want it as a prize
after I beat Toroa.

315
00:19:23,789 --> 00:19:25,749
So I've gotta fight him again!

316
00:19:25,791 --> 00:19:27,751
Huh?

317
00:19:27,835 --> 00:19:29,837
I see what's happening here.

318
00:19:30,754 --> 00:19:32,840
You've finally given yourself
a proper goal.

319
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,760
You've found a worthy opponent
you wanna put in the ground.

320
00:19:37,803 --> 00:19:40,764
You impress me more and more each day.

321
00:19:40,764 --> 00:19:42,808
As expected of my pride and joy.

322
00:19:49,773 --> 00:19:52,776
So, it's okay to leave it here?

323
00:19:52,776 --> 00:19:54,778
It's an amazing sword!

324
00:19:54,778 --> 00:19:55,821
Don't be stupid.

325
00:19:55,821 --> 00:19:58,824
The only reason
I didn't hand it over to that brute…

326
00:19:59,783 --> 00:20:02,786
is because I thought it was
my child's favorite toy.

327
00:20:08,834 --> 00:20:12,796
Cuneigh,
you saved me, but… why bother?

328
00:20:12,796 --> 00:20:13,797
Why wouldn't I?

329
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:15,799
You're someone important to me!

330
00:20:15,841 --> 00:20:18,844
And I don't care if you're upset,
even if you hate me!

331
00:20:18,844 --> 00:20:20,763
I'm gonna save you!

332
00:20:21,764 --> 00:20:24,725
Sure, but… why am I worthy?

333
00:20:25,768 --> 00:20:28,729
Well, the thing is…

334
00:20:29,813 --> 00:20:32,775
Is a homunculus
not allowed to fall in love?

335
00:20:33,817 --> 00:20:36,820
You know… when we talked, uh…

336
00:20:36,820 --> 00:20:39,782
I was honest. But there's more.

337
00:20:40,783 --> 00:20:42,826
I'm just saying
you should try and lighten up.

338
00:20:44,745 --> 00:20:47,790
Kuuro, I wanna make sure you smile. Lots!

339
00:20:58,759 --> 00:20:59,802
Like this?

340
00:21:02,805 --> 00:21:04,848
I can smile, thanks to you.

341
00:21:10,771 --> 00:21:12,815
And what of the Blasting Blade?

342
00:21:13,732 --> 00:21:16,735
Give it
to the Old Kingdom Loyalists in Toghie.

343
00:21:16,735 --> 00:21:17,778
Thanks to this incident,

344
00:21:17,820 --> 00:21:21,740
we have a better grasp on the forces
gathering for the Royal Games.

345
00:21:21,782 --> 00:21:23,742
The young lady was most helpful.

346
00:21:23,784 --> 00:21:25,786
The Games. Of course.

347
00:21:26,787 --> 00:21:28,747
No.

348
00:21:28,747 --> 00:21:30,833
Impossible.

349
00:21:32,835 --> 00:21:35,754
They were just… particles.

350
00:21:35,796 --> 00:21:37,840
How could they?

351
00:21:39,758 --> 00:21:41,760
You…

352
00:21:41,844 --> 00:21:44,763
Please, there's no reason for you
to strain yourself.

353
00:21:45,764 --> 00:21:46,807
Great Atrazek.

354
00:21:46,807 --> 00:21:49,810
How do you know my true name?

355
00:21:49,810 --> 00:21:51,812
Nobody knows that.

356
00:21:52,813 --> 00:21:55,774
Because once upon a time,
you told it to me.

357
00:21:55,774 --> 00:21:56,817
What?

358
00:21:57,776 --> 00:21:59,778
It's pointless trying to remember.

359
00:21:59,820 --> 00:22:01,780
I must…

360
00:22:01,780 --> 00:22:03,824
I must get to Aureatia.

361
00:22:04,825 --> 00:22:06,744
No.

362
00:22:07,745 --> 00:22:10,748
In fact, no one will ever know
why you were heading there.

363
00:22:10,831 --> 00:22:13,751
Your motive will die with you.

364
00:22:14,752 --> 00:22:17,838
That way…
everything can remain a secret.

365
00:22:19,757 --> 00:22:21,759
May your sleep be restful.

366
00:22:27,765 --> 00:22:29,808
No.

367
00:22:29,808 --> 00:22:32,811
How can these tiny particles harm me?

368
00:22:34,772 --> 00:22:36,774
Help me!

369
00:22:36,815 --> 00:22:40,778
I'm turning into particles! I am!

370
00:22:41,779 --> 00:22:43,781
--Yes, that's right.

371
00:22:43,822 --> 00:22:45,824
You devoured poor Ani.

372
00:22:45,824 --> 00:22:47,826
The sacrificial maiden.

373
00:22:51,789 --> 00:22:52,831
That began the infection.

374
00:22:53,832 --> 00:22:55,793
Help!

375
00:22:55,793 --> 00:22:58,754
Forgive… me…

376
00:23:26,824 --> 00:23:28,826
