1
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:12,656
How was someone with no talent
able to get into our school?

2
00:01:12,656 --> 00:01:15,575
On the principal's
recommendation, apparently.

3
00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:17,619
Huh? So nepotism?

4
00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:20,622
Hizuki Reynard-Yamada!

5
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:22,666
Yoo-hoo!

6
00:01:22,666 --> 00:01:24,584
Who are you?

7
00:01:24,584 --> 00:01:26,628
I just introduced myself!

8
00:01:26,628 --> 00:01:29,589
You shouldn't try to talk to me.

9
00:01:29,631 --> 00:01:33,635
If the others think we're friends,
you'll be ostracized by our class.

10
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:36,596
Then let's just be friends!

11
00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:37,639
Huh?

12
00:01:37,639 --> 00:01:41,559
I prefer having just a few friends.

13
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:44,646
I'm sorry.

14
00:01:47,649 --> 00:01:50,568
That girl transferred in, right?

15
00:01:50,568 --> 00:01:53,571
Raising a hand to her
only friend? Dumb b****.

16
00:01:53,571 --> 00:01:55,573
But it was totally disregarded.

17
00:01:55,573 --> 00:01:56,658
Normally, that'd earn an expulsion.

18
00:01:56,658 --> 00:01:58,576
Forgive me...

19
00:01:59,661 --> 00:02:03,665
I've heard the Reynard Clan has a familial
aptitude for serving as a spirit mediums,

20
00:02:04,582 --> 00:02:08,586
but I'm not detecting any
traces of spirit channeling.

21
00:02:08,586 --> 00:02:13,592
So I believe your periodic lapses in
memory stem from a different cause.

22
00:02:17,679 --> 00:02:19,598
I'm sorry.

23
00:02:22,642 --> 00:02:24,561
Forgive me!

24
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:30,609
Happy birthday dear Hizuki,

25
00:02:30,609 --> 00:02:34,613
Happy birthday to you!

26
00:02:34,654 --> 00:02:36,573
I'm sorry.

27
00:02:43,622 --> 00:02:44,623
Forgive me.

28
00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:48,668
Pardon us, Hijiki!

29
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:51,630
This is amazing.
So this is Hizuki's home, huh?

30
00:02:52,547 --> 00:02:58,595
Uh, it's an honor for me to humbly take
charge and lead our toast tonight.

31
00:02:58,595 --> 00:03:02,641
Thank you for taking time out of your busy
schedules to gather here at Hizuki's place.

32
00:03:02,641 --> 00:03:06,269
Cheers!
Hey! You're jumping the gun, Velly!
Cheers!

33
00:03:10,148 --> 00:03:14,152
Though I never imagined you'd
be working part-time, Hizuki.

34
00:03:14,152 --> 00:03:17,155
The school allows students to work?

35
00:03:17,155 --> 00:03:18,156
It doesn't.

36
00:03:19,157 --> 00:03:21,159
I'm working in secret.

37
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:24,120
Don't rat me out, okay?

38
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,205
I won't, I won't!

39
00:03:26,122 --> 00:03:27,123
Here you go.

40
00:03:27,165 --> 00:03:29,125
Thank you.

41
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:32,212
You're really good at cooking, Machina.

42
00:03:32,212 --> 00:03:34,130
It's a little surprising.

43
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:37,133
I have been living on my
own for a few decades now.

44
00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:38,176
Oh?

45
00:03:39,135 --> 00:03:44,182
Hmm? Decades?
Right, right! Velly, may I
make a humble suggestion?!

46
00:03:44,182 --> 00:03:45,183
I'll allow it.

47
00:03:45,183 --> 00:03:49,145
Why don't the four of us have a
little fighting game tournament?

48
00:03:49,145 --> 00:03:51,147
Wow! That sounds fun.

49
00:03:51,147 --> 00:03:56,152
Hmm. That's a proposal I can't
ignore as a game streamer.

50
00:03:56,152 --> 00:03:59,114
Why are you moving things
along on your own?

51
00:03:59,114 --> 00:04:01,116
You don't like playing games?

52
00:04:01,116 --> 00:04:02,158
Huh? Well...

53
00:04:02,158 --> 00:04:03,159
I get it, Hijiki.

54
00:04:04,119 --> 00:04:07,122
You've lost your nerve
to face me, haven't you?

55
00:04:07,163 --> 00:04:08,164
Huh?!

56
00:04:10,458 --> 00:04:11,459
No way.

57
00:04:11,459 --> 00:04:12,460
For real?

58
00:04:14,462 --> 00:04:16,464
You're amazing!

59
00:04:16,464 --> 00:04:18,508
Lord Veltol, you couldn't
win a single match.

60
00:04:18,508 --> 00:04:21,511
I'm surprised you could do so well
with such an old input device.

61
00:04:22,512 --> 00:04:25,432
Go against me next, Hizuki!

62
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:27,434
I'd like to request a match as well.

63
00:04:28,435 --> 00:04:31,438
Jeez, what am I going to do with you?

64
00:04:31,479 --> 00:04:35,483
I'm not gonna lose, Hizuki!
Don't lose, Takahashi.
There! Right, right, right!
Show her our power!

65
00:04:54,085 --> 00:04:55,086
Saya!

66
00:04:55,086 --> 00:04:56,129
Gilnore!

67
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:58,089
Morning!

68
00:04:58,089 --> 00:05:00,050
Good morning.

69
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:02,052
Guess what day it is!

70
00:05:02,052 --> 00:05:04,095
It's your birthday, Lady Hizuki.

71
00:05:05,096 --> 00:05:08,016
That's right!

72
00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:10,018
Congratulations.

73
00:05:11,102 --> 00:05:13,021
Thank you!

74
00:05:13,021 --> 00:05:16,024
Birthday, birthday!

75
00:05:16,024 --> 00:05:18,109
Look at Lady Hizuki having such fun.

76
00:05:19,069 --> 00:05:24,074
Thinking of her as the cursed child of
Magic Town and Electric Town feels like a lie.

77
00:05:25,033 --> 00:05:32,040
I only hope that nothing happens to Lady Hizuki
until she's ready to stand on her own.
I'll kill you
Hm...

78
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,124
Have you decided on one?

79
00:05:34,042 --> 00:05:37,045
A lady takes a while to shop!

80
00:05:37,045 --> 00:05:42,050
Honestly, you don't understand women, Dad!
Tsk. What did they come here for?

81
00:05:43,009 --> 00:05:44,094
Family of traitors.

82
00:05:44,094 --> 00:05:46,012
Get lost already.

83
00:05:46,096 --> 00:05:47,097
That's right.

84
00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:50,100
What should we do, dear?

85
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:53,061
All right, I know!

86
00:05:55,021 --> 00:05:57,065
Wasn't that nice, Hizuki?

87
00:05:57,065 --> 00:05:58,066
Yeah!

88
00:05:58,066 --> 00:06:00,026
Do you see me in a new light now?

89
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:01,069
Kind of.

90
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:03,029
Harsh.

91
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:11,037
You still have a long way to go.
Happy birthday to you!

92
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:16,042
Happy birthday, dear Hizuki!

93
00:06:16,084 --> 00:06:20,088
Happy birthday to you!

94
00:06:25,093 --> 00:06:28,054
I'm sorry.

95
00:06:29,014 --> 00:06:30,056
I'm sorry.

96
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:35,103
You and your mother were collapsed
in front of the hospital.

97
00:06:36,021 --> 00:06:37,981
Her wounds were far
more severe than yours.

98
00:06:39,608 --> 00:06:40,650
Forgive me...

99
00:06:42,569 --> 00:06:43,653
The thing I'm worried about

100
00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:47,616
is the fact that records state the girl
has already inherited the regalia.

101
00:06:47,616 --> 00:06:51,578
It seems Hizuki is unaware of that herself.

102
00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:56,625
Either way, that's probably the
reason she was also a target.

103
00:06:56,625 --> 00:06:58,585
Any ideas who the culprit was?

104
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:01,588
If I had any leads, I'd have
killed them already myself.

105
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:06,551
Hizuki is still so little, though.

106
00:07:06,551 --> 00:07:09,554
Just means we gotta look out for her.

107
00:07:09,554 --> 00:07:11,640
We both owe her that much, right?

108
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,641
True.

109
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,561
We owe it to the two who
died protecting her, too.

110
00:07:19,564 --> 00:07:20,565
Forgive me...

111
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:28,698
We will also deal with the treasury
beneath the school for you.
This is out of the question.

112
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:31,743
Don't act so conceited, you fool!

113
00:07:31,993 --> 00:07:35,997
There is only one man in this
world who may stand before me

114
00:07:35,997 --> 00:07:38,041
and call himself the Hero.

115
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:42,963
Any others who dare claim that
title warrant execution.

116
00:07:44,005 --> 00:07:46,967
Then negotiations have failed.

117
00:07:47,050 --> 00:07:49,970
I'll excuse myself for tonight.

118
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:53,974
Oh, one last thing.

119
00:07:55,934 --> 00:07:58,019
Akihabara City will change.

120
00:08:15,537 --> 00:08:17,539
Quite the stringent check.

121
00:08:17,539 --> 00:08:20,542
You're doing the same, right?

122
00:08:23,086 --> 00:08:28,008
We had nothing to do with
Mag Rosanta's accident, you know.

123
00:08:28,008 --> 00:08:31,136
No, that's not what brings me here today.

124
00:08:33,055 --> 00:08:35,057
Then what is it?

125
00:08:39,144 --> 00:08:40,145
Did you hear?

126
00:08:40,145 --> 00:08:43,148
They say the body found at
the scene was Professor Mag.

127
00:08:43,148 --> 00:08:45,150
No way, that's fake, right?

128
00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:46,151
Apparently it's true.

129
00:08:46,151 --> 00:08:49,154
I heard other students
talking about it earlier.

130
00:08:49,154 --> 00:08:53,158
She was caught in that explosion? Brutal.

131
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:54,201
Blown to pieces, huh?

132
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,203
Breaking news.

133
00:08:56,203 --> 00:08:58,163
The head of the Korneah Trading Company,

134
00:08:58,163 --> 00:09:00,207
Korneah Seburd has been murdered.

135
00:09:00,248 --> 00:09:02,250
The Electric Town City Guard

136
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:09,091
as their key suspect in the murder,
and are actively searching for her.
This is bad news.
With this, we anticipate the tensions between
Magic Town and Electric Town will worsen.
It has to be fake.

137
00:09:09,091 --> 00:09:12,135
We ask all citizens to remain
calm as they respond to this news.

138
00:09:13,136 --> 00:09:27,109
I repeat, Korneah Seburd, head of the
Korneah Trading Company, has been murdered,
I'm okay, don't worry.
Please come to the principal's office quickly.
I have something important to discuss.
From Tratte Götel
and the Electric Town City Guard has
designated Tratte Götel as the main suspect,
As of this moment, the entire Akihabara
region is under a stage 2 state of emergency,
with a manhunt under way.

139
00:09:27,109 --> 00:09:29,111
and we are conducting an emergency assembly.

140
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:34,116
All students, please report to the
practical training hall immediately.

141
00:09:34,116 --> 00:09:36,118
You think the principal's
really a murderer?

142
00:09:36,118 --> 00:09:38,078
It's probably a lie
spread by Electric Town.

143
00:09:39,997 --> 00:09:41,915
Ms. Tratte!

144
00:09:41,957 --> 00:09:43,959
Is the news about Mr. Korneah true?

145
00:09:43,959 --> 00:09:46,920
It's all right. Please calm down.

146
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,923
Another one... Again...

147
00:09:49,923 --> 00:09:52,884
Please calm down, Ms. Reynard.

148
00:09:52,968 --> 00:09:56,930
I want you to listen carefully
to what I'm about to say.

149
00:09:57,973 --> 00:09:59,891
Who are you?

150
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:02,894
Ms. Reynard?
No!

151
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:07,899
When we're alone, Ms. Tratte
always calls me Hizuki.

152
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:09,901
Right?

153
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:17,951
So who are you?

154
00:10:20,912 --> 00:10:21,913
Apolfos.

155
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:31,923
No one move.

156
00:10:31,923 --> 00:10:33,884
I'm warning you.

157
00:10:33,925 --> 00:10:35,927
You are all hostages.

158
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:37,971
Resistance is futile.

159
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:41,892
If you disobey, you will
be killed immediately.

160
00:10:48,315 --> 00:10:50,233
Do you recognize me now?

161
00:10:51,318 --> 00:10:54,237
Professor Mag?

162
00:10:54,237 --> 00:10:55,280
Yes.

163
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,240
But you died?

164
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,241
No...

165
00:10:58,241 --> 00:11:00,243
But that's Ms. Tratte's... huh?

166
00:11:01,286 --> 00:11:08,251
The quest I received from the Guild
was to collect all three regalia.

167
00:11:08,251 --> 00:11:10,295
The greatest hurdle in that quest was

168
00:11:11,254 --> 00:11:13,256
Korneah Seburd.

169
00:11:13,298 --> 00:11:18,262
My quest could not be completed
without his murder.

170
00:11:18,303 --> 00:11:21,306
Though he was an extremely cautious man,

171
00:11:21,306 --> 00:11:26,311
I realized he loosened his guard
around the Three Great Houses.

172
00:11:26,311 --> 00:11:31,316
So I stole Tratte Götel's body.

173
00:11:32,276 --> 00:11:34,319
I invited her to that
mechanical surgery clinic,

174
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:36,321
extracted her unit,

175
00:11:36,321 --> 00:11:40,325
and placed my unit into her body.

176
00:11:41,243 --> 00:11:42,244
Where's Ms. Tratte?

177
00:11:42,286 --> 00:11:43,328
Who knows.

178
00:11:44,246 --> 00:11:48,292
She probably got caught in that
explosion and blown to smithereens.

179
00:11:53,255 --> 00:11:58,302
Now then, I'll need you to
cooperate with my quest.

180
00:11:58,302 --> 00:12:00,304
As if I'd ever help you!

181
00:12:00,304 --> 00:12:03,056
No, you will cooperate.

182
00:12:04,641 --> 00:12:07,561
I wonder who I should have

183
00:12:07,644 --> 00:12:11,565
the next one be?

184
00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:14,610
Are you planning to kill
me and steal the Orb?

185
00:12:15,611 --> 00:12:16,612
No.

186
00:12:17,571 --> 00:12:20,657
I'm going to manifest
the Goddess Meldia.

187
00:12:21,158 --> 00:12:24,119
But the truth is that
the Orb is right here,

188
00:12:24,119 --> 00:12:27,205
and Meldia has already
descended to this world.

189
00:12:28,123 --> 00:12:32,169
After the Fantasion, a higher order
spiritual being like Meldia

190
00:12:32,169 --> 00:12:36,131
should have faded away,
unable to maintain her existence.

191
00:12:36,131 --> 00:12:39,218
However, she avoided elimination
by downgrading her soul

192
00:12:39,218 --> 00:12:42,095
and transferring it into a baby.

193
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:45,140
You want to know how I know that?

194
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:48,143
Because when I attacked you 10 years ago,

195
00:12:48,143 --> 00:12:53,148
she temporarily manifested,
rampaged, and fought me off.

196
00:12:53,148 --> 00:12:54,149
I'm sorry.

197
00:12:54,149 --> 00:12:56,151
Then the voice...

198
00:12:56,193 --> 00:13:02,115
The Goddess Meldia is already
using your body as her vessel.

199
00:13:03,158 --> 00:13:04,159
Albert.

200
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:05,118
Wha?!

201
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:06,119
Don't look at me.

202
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:10,165
I'll grant you the honor of
serving as my arm this once.

203
00:13:11,124 --> 00:13:14,127
If you destroy the swords of light
above the the students' heads,

204
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:15,170
her control will be broken.

205
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:17,130
Can you do it?

206
00:13:19,007 --> 00:13:23,053
Soon war will break out,
and Akihabara City will change.

207
00:13:23,971 --> 00:13:26,056
No place in this city will be safe.

208
00:13:26,056 --> 00:13:32,062
I hired assins to go after you while
I was searching for the Orb's whereabouts.

209
00:13:32,062 --> 00:13:35,983
However, while Meldia
reacted in self-defense,

210
00:13:35,983 --> 00:13:38,068
she never showed any signs of manifesting.

211
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:39,069
I'm sorry.

212
00:13:40,988 --> 00:13:41,530
So I had a thought.

213
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:42,531
So I had a thought.

214
00:13:42,531 --> 00:13:45,492
The Orb possesses the power
to control divinity,

215
00:13:45,492 --> 00:13:51,540
so what if you used that power to
control Meldia's manifestations and rampages?

216
00:13:52,541 --> 00:13:57,504
That's also the reason behind your
unusually low mana reserves.

217
00:13:57,504 --> 00:14:03,510
It made me wonder if all of your mana was
being used to control and seal away Meldia.

218
00:14:03,552 --> 00:14:08,265
But if that were the case, then where was
the Orb that was being used to control her?

219
00:14:08,348 --> 00:14:13,270
you needed surgery to remove your right
eye and replace it with a prosthesis

220
00:14:13,270 --> 00:14:16,315
after you were injured in my
attack on you 10 years ago.

221
00:14:16,315 --> 00:14:21,278
However, your right eye is no prosthesis.

222
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:28,285
During the surgery, your mother
requested that the doctor implant it.

223
00:14:28,327 --> 00:14:32,331
Your right eye is the Orb!

224
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:34,333
I'm sorry.

225
00:14:37,294 --> 00:14:38,337
Velly!

226
00:14:38,337 --> 00:14:40,339
The enemy's after Hizuki!

227
00:14:40,339 --> 00:14:41,340
They're probably on the roof!

228
00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:43,342
Well done, Takahashi.

229
00:14:43,342 --> 00:14:45,344
I'll pursue her!

230
00:14:45,344 --> 00:14:46,303
She's yours.

231
00:14:47,262 --> 00:14:48,263
Albert!

232
00:14:48,347 --> 00:14:50,349
I'm placing you in command
of this location!

233
00:14:50,349 --> 00:14:52,267
You can handle it, right?

234
00:14:52,351 --> 00:14:53,352
All right.

235
00:14:54,269 --> 00:14:55,312
Well?

236
00:14:55,312 --> 00:14:57,314
You didn't know, did you?

237
00:15:00,359 --> 00:15:04,321
Then you even came to me for advice!

238
00:15:04,321 --> 00:15:07,366
That was truly hilarious!

239
00:15:10,369 --> 00:15:13,372
Ah, I really...

240
00:15:16,333 --> 00:15:18,502
can't ever be forgiven.

241
00:15:22,548 --> 00:15:25,592
Clouds cover the moon,
and wind blows away flowers.

242
00:15:25,634 --> 00:15:27,594
I'm taking back Hizuki.

243
00:15:27,636 --> 00:15:32,558
You really are an unpredictable
element, aren't you?

244
00:15:32,558 --> 00:15:35,561
A scheme 10 years in the
making, now up in smoke!

245
00:15:35,561 --> 00:15:36,645
I've lost.

246
00:15:36,645 --> 00:15:38,605
However,

247
00:15:39,565 --> 00:15:42,609
you haven't won, either.

248
00:15:42,609 --> 00:15:46,572
You can't stop the flames
of war burning this city.

249
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:50,576
Hizuki!

250
00:15:50,576 --> 00:15:51,618
I am not she.

251
00:16:18,353 --> 00:16:21,273
My name is Meldia.

252
00:16:24,276 --> 00:16:25,319
"The Lord’s Return."
