Original subtitles

I have personally requested the aid of four knights,

who are now searching the city. There's no reason for concern.

Is this Hero Killer guy strong?

Yes. He dealt a blow to my leg.

You fought him?

It was one-on-one.

In a single strike, he sliced my leg and ran away.

You want me to sit this one out and let those four enjoy the hunt, huh?

What a shame.

They tracked me down. How?

Are you hiding your scar under the makeup,

Mr. Hero-Killing Rebel?

I am Elsaria, a knight of the Order of the Seven Spears.

As a noble of the empire and to fulfill my friend's request

who wants nothing but to maintain the empire's order,

I will deliver judgment upon you!

Prepare yourself!

I must say, Rozen was right in warning us to engage as a group.

I see.

So Rozen's the one who sent them after me.

I won't let you get away, Hero-Killing Rebel!

Sorry, but I don't intend to go down just yet.

Look, that's our home.

The maschinendrache sure speeds up travel.

Oh, boy. I can't wait.

The world mirrored in my eyes Is upside-down

I fall And my body is completely upside-down

(Only the moon knows What lies on the flip side of glory)

A false sense of justice pervades

Revenge is how I live my life

(Deceit, façade, delusion Rabble of lowborns, false idols)

Do you remember that day? Do you remember me?

I've been waiting for this day to come

Do you remember that day? Do you remember me?

I'll never forgive you

Carve it in your heart I know I am a sinner

Wielding my blade of resolve

I don't care how low I sink

I will embark to end My long journey of vengeance

EPISODE 9 JUNGE BLÄTTER (YOUNG LEAVES)

Master, what is Lord Glenn doing here?

What is so unusual about it?

After all, he was once a student at this Hall of Swords.

En garde, Marquis Glenn!

An intruder?

Drat!

Nice riposte, Marquis Glenn!

So you've returned.

What outrageous arrogance against Marquis Glenn!

Who the hell do you think you are?

I'm afraid the name of a lowly man like me will only offend your ears.

I am Ichfeis, a lowly slave knight whose life is indebted

to the magnificent Marquis Glenn.

With his permission, I am studying swordsmanship at this academy.

You take your jokes too far, Ichfeis.

I heard someone wanted to have a talk, but I didn't expect this.

Who would've guessed that the marquis himself would come to meet me?

What could you possibly want with me?

I'm on my way to a meeting concerning the prophecy,

but there's a matter I hoped to entrust with you.

It's one you have been eagerly waiting for.

You've heard of the Hero Killer, yes?

Of course, my lord.

He's the demihuman from the borderlands who murdered Landgrave Schtemwölech.

I heard he's the very rebel you encountered during your encampment.

Damn brat. Yammering on about a topic best left unspoken.

It has been five years since I left you under Master Glea's care.

You must be raring to prove your skills.

Ichfeis, bring me the Hero Killer's head.

What?

Vanquish this vile fiend who threatens the empire,

and reclaim your family's honor as an imperial noble.

Your wish is my command.

That aggravating asp!

Why did Marquis Glenn task that snot-nosed slave knight with such a noble mission,

while we, the Order of the Seven Spears, get kicked to the curb?

What makes him so special?

It seems that most of you don't know of him.

Like the rest of you, I don't know much about Ichfeis's upbringing.

However, I do know he has been serving Marquis Glenn before we,

the Order of the Seven Spears, were organized.

Five years ago,

he came to this Hall of Swords to hone his swordplay skills.

By now, he is one of the empire's strongest knights.

The empire's strongest swordsman?

That brat?

That's right.

Ichfeis is the man who is in line

to revive that crest we've sought to forget for the last 20 years.

In time, he will assume the mantle as the Blatt Meister.

The Blatt Meister?

I am certain that in due time, he will master that crowning technique.

And when he does, he will rightfully inherit that Black Wing and Sword Crest.

Master, do you still resent me for slaying Ascheriit?

That boy...

I will grieve the loss of my little Ascheriit until the end of time.

At age 16, Ascheriit rose to heights

not even Blatt Meister Ludift reached in his lifetime.

- I'll get going now, Master Glea. - Good luck in your battles.

Please, come home safe.

The heroes have sealed the tear and have returned in full glory.

Wischtech's evil ploy was foiled!

Returned?

Hear ye, good citizens!

Carve the names of the noble heroes and their valiant deeds in your hearts.

Praise be their names!

Glenn, Lebellond, Ischüdien, Güllengurv,

Schtemwölech, Nirgenfeled, Barestar!

But alas, among the heroes were four enemies who turned on the empire.

Fear not, as the Seven Heroes have delivered justice upon these wretches.

Now, hear the names of the traitors!

To this day, I find it unfathomable.

I simply cannot believe that that sweet boy would betray the empire

and try to conspire with Wischtech.

Master, I have...

sinned.

Twenty years ago, on that day,

I slayed a brave friend, a noble hero, with these very hands.

This is my cross to bear.

Now, after all these years,

I can finally admit this.

Marquis Glenn...

What are you...

I was envious of Ascheriit.

Fearless and undaunted,

he always chose the path of righteousness regardless of the perils that lie in it

and he always seized the day.

Looking back, I was always struggling to keep up with him.

He felt so far ahead of me.

Nevertheless, I was proud to join him on a mission.

At first,

the seven of us and those four were united in our fight for the empire's future.

But in the end, our paths diverted.

Those four made the foolish mistake of striking a deal

with Wischtech on their own.

The tide of war was against the empire,

and they strove to save the empire in their own way.

They were virtuous.

Thinking back, I could have spared their lives.

I could have forgiven them and pulled them back to the correct path.

I realize this now.

After all, there was never anyone who had turned their heart against the empire.

If that's the case, then why...

Why have you smeared their names as Traitorous Lances?

You could have at least preserved their honor.

Do you hate me for slaying Ascheriit and tainting his name, Glea?

I do.

I despise you.

It's true that in the face of his talent, my instructions amounted to nothing.

But I raised him.

That darling, little Blatt Meister grew under my wings.

If I could, I'd...

If you dare make an attempt on my life, Master,

then I must kill you for the sake of the empire and my grand vision.

I will use whatever means I possess to protect and lead this empire.

I know it too well.

I am a knight who pledged my loyalty to the empire, after all.

I must keep my obligation to the empire and my fury separate.

Besides, I am grateful for you.

You brought that bright Ichfeis to me.

All you do is divert our attacks and flee.

Can't you fight with dignity, at least?

Damn it.

I stashed my gear for this disguise, and it backfired.

Köinzell!

Aht!

The Hero Killer has an ally?

Rozen failed to tell me this.

Aht. Why are you here?

Why?

Step aside.

That man behind you

is the hero-killing rebel who murdered Landgrave Schtemwölech.

So what if he is?

You've never seen for yourselves, have you?

You've never seen how the hero you're trying to protect fights.

You've never seen your hero save someone, and weep for those he couldn't!

Stop it, Aht!

Well, I have! With my own eyes!

I've seen the real hero that I must defend,

even if it costs me my life!

So there's no talking you out of siding with the Hero Killer, is there?

Stop calling him rebel.

Köinzell.

You don't want to involve us any further, I get it.

But you are a true warrior.

A true hero.

What warrior wouldn't want to fight alongside you?

At the very least,

I don't want you to think of me as a burden.

If I dare to say, I want you to regard me as a warrior.

No, I'll make sure you do!

Retreat, Aht. We can't continue our fight here.

He can't help but be distracted by his ally.

Thanks to her, I can follow his movements.

You think I'd be proud of your absent-minded fighting style?

I've got you now!

Aht!

Köinzell!

There's more of them?

Time to go!

They slipped away.

No. They'll never outrun us.

- Eltzen. - Yes, my lady.

Sufie has already memorized the rebel's scent.

It's only a matter of time until we find him.

And when we do, we'll put an end to everything.

Miss Aht!

Köinzell...

Go home, Aht.

Köinzell?

I can't fight next to such an inexperienced fighter.

You're only getting in my way.

Köinzell?

So you're telling me you got roped in by Glenn's knights to withdraw your troops?

Yes, my lord.

But you must understand,

Elector Rahnclave's daughter was among the blasted knights.

Elector's daughter, you say?

This is my domain.

Jullas-Abllas, Glenn...

they think they can trample all over my batterygravate!

I command you to destroy Jullas-Abllas.

Köinzell...

Miss Aht...

This underground storage belongs to a stowaway I helped cross over.

Hide here until the commotion dies down.

No.

There's no hiding from them.

As long as I'm within city limits, they will eventually sniff me out.

This city is swarming with drifters

who sought refuge from the tyranny of the batterygrave's magistrates.

What if we tell those guys your real identity

and the truth behind the Seven Heroes?

- They'll-- - Please, stop.

If we do something like that,

then the empire will deem this place a hub for insurgence.

We would incite a conflict.

But you can't fight this alone...

Köinzell...

You are a good fighter.

You will continue to develop your skills, I'm sure of it.

And that's why I don't want to watch you die.

When I'm nearby, you can't keep your eyes on your enemy.

I'm leaving this city.

This is goodbye.

Wait, I...

I want to go with you...

A part of me regrets not lingering a bit longer to watch her grow.

Maybe, if things had been different, I would be raising young students like Aht

into fine swordsmen at the Hall of Swords now.

Who am I fooling?

Any future I had was torn to shreds in the depths of that Forest of Death

on that day 20 years ago. It will never happen.

We have been expecting you.

So our clash is inevitable.

Lady Altea!

There's trouble up in the city. Some knights are fighting your friend!

I have to go.

- What's this, a demihuman hunt? - No, no.

The noble knights are taking down a bad guy

who wants to kill Batterygrave Barestar.

Wait, so he's bad?

But that pigtailed warrior looks way cooler.

Don't say such things.

Plotting to kill the Seven Heroes is just the kind of thing that evil people do.

Really?

Then the Seven Heroes must be the good guys, right?

Oh, no. He got past her!

No. The victory is ours.

My body, it's...

Looks like we made it in time.

Our plan finally came together.

This resonance barrier will stop his movements.

Working directly on his fairy blood,

this lullaby of demise will soon drag that rebel into deep sleep.

It's already taken a hold of him.

There's no way he's getting out of here.

Rest easy.

You will be in dreamland when you take your final breath.

You won't feel a pinch.

Your vile blade will no longer be a threat to the Seven Heroes,

and certainly not to Batterygrave Barestar,

who is footsteps away from here.

Barestar!

Get away from me! Scram!

Another bout of hallucinations?

Just as we're setting on our siege.

I am one of the Seven Heroes.

I am a hero.

Scram...

Don't come near me. Get away from me!

Hero Killer Free City, demolish them all.

Turn them...

Turn them into dust!

Meet your end!

How is he still moving?

Get out of my way. I have no business with you.

Damn it. This barrier.

This time, you're going down!

Aht!

The barrier!

How brave.

And yet, you wield your sword for the rebel.

Shit.

My body still won't listen.

At this rate, Aht won't...

Her fighting has changed.

Keep my eyes on my enemy.

Is this what you meant, Köinzell?

How in the...

She's stronger than before!

All it took was one word of advice.

Meister, Assistant Instructor Glea...

The indomitable will you had hoped to instill in me,

for the first time, I see it in someone else.

At this rate, we'll...

Those eyes again!

This man...

He's too noble to be regarded a rebel.

Aht!

What on earth is happening?

This must be the works of the batterygrave's magistrates.

Where did they go?

There were nights when I cried

Holding my knees in my arms

Holding a fragment

A distant dream, dream, dream

Somebody said once That stardust is made

Of discarded dreams

But I don't know a single trash can

That shines so beautifully

No matter how many times I am reborn

I'll draw an endless map

In the same night sky

Like a constellation, like a masterpiece

Stella blurs, Stella scatters

The star is there Even when she disappears

Someday, I will catch her And hold on tight

I will become the hero of my dream

Someone once pointed out That the edge of a crescent moon

Is sharp as a knife

But I've never seen an edge So gentle and kind

Illuminating

Illuminating tomorrow
