Original subtitles

On the continent of Flonyard,

protected by the Guardian Light,

everyone enjoys their lives in peace.

However, last spring, on the southern part of the continent,

where the Biscotti Republic lies, some very troublesome events took place.

The Princess of Biscotti, Millhiore,

summoned a Hero from a faraway land.

The Hero who came to the land

greeted all of us with a smile,

and spread happiness wherever he went.

The Hero completed his duty and returned to Earth...

but we promised that we would meet again in the summer.

And now, that summer has come.

The story of our love and courage

will begin once again!

An old notebook chronicles

furui nooto ni kakitsuzutta

The tale of those days

ano hibi no monogatari ni

Which is yet to end

ji endo wa mada

As the clock spins

tokei no hari ga susumu goto ni

Our hearts will surely meld

omoi wa tashika ni chikazuiteku

The reason we look up into the sky when we make a wish

hito wa negau toki sora wo miageru wake wa kitto

Is because it's a gate into the world of dreams

yume no iriguchi tsunagatteru to

That's what I believe, so I close my eyes

shinjiteiru kara boku wa hitomi tojita

As if to search for a faint hope

kasukana kibou wo sagasu mitai ni

Fearless! I want to become stronger

fearless boku wa motto tsuyoku naritai

Not for memories past, but for you in this moment

omoide ja naku ima no kimi no tame ni

Carrying wishes upon pure white wings

negau koto mo masshiro na hane wo yadoshite

I'll soar high into the blue sky and reach you

kimi ga iru ao no hate made maiagare

Earth - Tokino-Cho, Kinokawa City, Japan

So, Shinku,

why don't you tell me already?

Kinokawa International School Junior High 2nd Year

Runner-up in previous "Iron Athletic" competition

Shinku Izumi

Huh?

Tell you what?

Kinokawa International School Junior High 2nd Year

Rebecca Anderson

(Shinku's Childhood Friend)

Where you're headed this summer.

I told you, it's a secret until I-

July 22nd, 11:09 P.M.

Earth - City of London, England

Hey, Shinku?

Nanami here.

Where are you?

I'm almost at the station.

Champion in previous "Iron Athletic" competition

Takatsuki Nanami

(Resident of London; Shinku's Cousin)

I just have to wait there, right?

Yeah.

Your escort will lead the way.

Roger.

Why are we on the roof?

Shinku-

Tatsumaki!

Long time no see, Tatsumaki!

Sorry for the wait, Becky.

This is where we'll be departing from.

Come here!

For me...?

Huh?

What?!

H-Hey, Shinku...

Here we go!

What?

What?!

Huh?!

The view is great, Becky.

Open your eyes and take a look!

No way!

The ocean...

it's huge!

Wait...

I'm falling?!

Sorry, Becky.

Wait here a minute.

Shinku!

Yes, Princess.

Shinku!

Shinku! Shinku!

Princess!

Forgive me for making you wait.

I've returned, just like we promised.

Yes!

Thank you for inviting me again, Princess.

Don't mention it.

Thank you for coming.

I'm very happy to have you here again.

Yeah!

You even let me bring Nanami and Becky-

Um...

is Rebecca-san...

That may have been too much for her.

Let's take her somewhere she can rest.

Alright.

I wonder if Nanami's doing well.

Of course!

Nanami-san is being summoned to Galette.

Leo-sama should be giving her a warm welcome.

Where's everyone else?

Well-

Hero!

Hero!

Hero!

Welcome back, Shinku!

You're late.

Hero!

I'm so happy your summoning went as well as last time!

It's all thanks to your research, Rico.

Thank you, Rico.

Don't hog him, Rico!

Wha-

I want to hug Shinku, too!

Wai-

Wait!

Yes, let's!

Hey, Yukkii!

Hero!

Yukkii!

Eclair!

I'm back, Eclair.

R-Right...

I told you it wouldn't be long.

I'm looking forward to training with you once again.

It'll be harder than before, you know.

Hero, Hero!

It looks like Rebecca-dono is awake.

Good morning, Becky.

Huh? Shinku...?

Isn't it beautiful?

I really wanted you to see this.

Yeah, uh...

It really is pretty,

but the islands are floating...

and the sky is purple...

Well, uh...

I'll explain later.

Would you like to meet my friends?

Yeah.

Princess!

Everyone!

Coming!

Pleased to meet you, Rebecca-sama!

Indeed.

We are very pleased to have you here.

H-Hello!

Nice to meet...

you...

Rebecca-san,

welcome to Flonyard.

Thank you very much for coming to Biscotti.

Um...

Uh...

Thank... you.

Looks like it's starting already!

Yeah.

Shall we head to the ceremony, then?

Yes!

Come on!

Let's go!

Shinku!

I have tons of questions!

Don't worry.

I'll explain everything later.

Let's get going!

We're headed to today's battlefield, Farnett!

Yeah!

Let's go!

The sun is high today,

and it's perfect weather for a battle!

The stars haven't arrived yet,

but the battle between Biscotti and Galette has already begun!

I am your host and commentator, Framboise Charlie from Galette National Broadcasting, and this is...

Percy Gaudi from Biscotti National Broadcasting!

We also have guest commentators from both nations!

From Galette, we have the Head Knight, General Bernard.

As well as Leo-sama's personal assistant, Violette-san!

As well as the leader of the covert squad, Lord d'Arquien!

Biscotti Army

Covert Squad Leader

Brioche d'Arquien

Hello.

We'll be bringing you today's heated battle along with these guests!

Right!

So, today's battle is a "Welcome back, Hero!" event, correct?

Yes.

Today's star, Biscotti's Hero, will be arriving shortly.

Our Princess and guard squad leaders are with him.

Leo-sama is on the way, too!

Lord Gaul is, as well.

Knights, warriors, and audience!

There will be chaos when the Hero and Galette's main force arrives!

Work hard and gain points while you still have time!

Finally,

Galette Lion Army, Gaul Guard Squad

"Génoise" Heavy Soldier

Jaune Clafoutis

our time to shine!

We are Gaul-sama's undefeated guard squad of the Galette Lion Army.

Who called us?

Galette Lion Army, Gaul Guard Squad

"Génoise" Archer

Vert Far Breton

Together, we are...

Génoise!

And don't forget our Prince!

Everyone shout his name.

Ready?

Lord Gaul!

Yeah!

I've arrived!

The one and only!

How's it going, fellas?

I heard that Biscotti's stupid Hero's coming back,

so I've decided to take him on, one-on-one!

Even if this is a welcoming event, we won't just lie down!

We'll beat the knights, the Hero, and claim victory!

Now, people of Biscotti...

Bring it on!

This is...

a battle?

Yes.

On Earth, you might call it...

a government-funded athletic festival!

Right?

Shinku always performed wonderfully when he was here in the spring.

He's the Hero of our great nation, Biscotti!

Shinku is...

a Hero?

That's right.

As Biscotti's Hero, he saved them.

Well, Shinku would definitely do well in this type of competition.

Indeed, he was quite a brilliant hero.

I'm so jealous...

It looks so fun!

Would you like to participate, too?

I can?!

Well, that's exactly why I summoned you to our nation.

Takatsuki Nanami!

Would you like to be Galette's Hero?

All right!

The defenses are down!

Now we can head straight for their headquarters!

Charge, soldiers!

Gaul and Génoise are pushing forward!

The headquarters are right in front of them!

Biscotti is in danger!

Emilio, our captain and Hero have yet to arrive!

Stand your ground, Ange!

Our Hero will-

I'm going ahead, Gaul!

You're finally here?

Yeah, I'm back!

He's-

He's-

At long last,

following the Princess' invitation,

the Hero, Shinku, has arrived!

He's here!

The Hero, Shinku, is here!

Shinku!

Shinku-kun!

Shinku...

Welcome-

Long time no see, Jaune, Noire, Vert!

I've trained, just like I promised!

He did that in an instant?!

I couldn't even see him.

You've trained too much.

Brilliant.

We can still fight, though!

Génoise is out for now!

Don't you get in our Hero's way!

Biscotti's covert squad leader and academy valedictorian are here!

And...

Knight Eclair, leader of our guard squad, is here as well!

It's been a while, Shinku, Hero of Biscotti.

Your Excellency!

Leo-sama!

I'm happy that you've become stronger than before.

However, we won't lose.

If Biscotti is using a Hero,

Galette will do the same!

Behold!

The Hero of the Galette Lion Army!

Following Leo-sama's invitation,

Galette's Hero, Takatsuki Nanami,

makes a magnificent entrance!

Nanami has entered the battle as well, just like I expected.

Would you like to participate?

You could be a gunner or archer.

No, no, no!

I can't do this type of stuff...

I know!

I should introduce you to everybody.

What's this?

We have a transmission from Princess Millhiore.

Look!

Hello!

Princess!

This is Millhiore, reporting from Fort Farnett.

The battlefield is heating up,

but right now, we have a childhood friend of both Heroes,

Rebecca Anderson-san!

Uh...

Um...

Hello!

Hello!

Becky!

Yeah...

Principality of Pastillage

Eschenbach Castle

The Heroes are advancing once again!

We may even see a head-on battle!

It's gettin' exciting...

Yes, it is.

A Hero showdown between both nations, eh?

Millhi-nee and Leo-nee are really going at it.

First Princess of the Principality of Pastillage

Lord of Eschenbach Domain

Couvre E. Pastillage

Pastillage Crystalline Knights

Callaway Risler

They seem to be having fun.

Maybe too much.

I'd like our guys at Pastillage to do something big like that, too.

That would be nice.

But we don't have much of a war business, so...

That girl...

Oh, it seems that she's a friend of both Heroes.

She's a guest from another world.

Is that so?

She hasn't been claimed as a Hero anywhere, has she?

No, she hasn't.

I like her!

There's some kind of feeling there!

I'm gonna go meet this girl!

We'll get to butt into Millhi-nee's fight, too!

Right...

What?!

I'm coming to get you!

Wait right there, my Hero!

The Hero Appears!

Getting lost in a maze of trees

mori no naka meiro mayoikonda

That's what our first encounter felt like

maru de sonna deai

Beyond the summer sky, sun, and horizon

natsu no sora taiyou chiheisen to

I saw another world far, far away

me no mae wa kanata tooi sekai

(zenshin)

I ran with (all my might,) all my strength

zenryoku de hashitte

(niji no)

Toward our (rainbow) dream

yume ni mukatte

(subete)

And took in each (and every) thing I saw

me ni utsuru mono

The world was shining because you were there

kimi ga ita kara kagayaita sekai

I break into a sprint, with vibrant memories

kakedashita azayaka ni

Of the wonderful days when we grew up just a little

sukoshi otona ni natta you na kirameku hibi

Since we're always connected

itsudemo tsunagatteiru

Through our hearts

kokoro ga aru kara

We should be able to see each other again soon

mata sugu ni aeru hazu

I'll be here waiting

koko de matteru
