Original subtitles

You coward! You should just quit being a knight!

You’re working up quite a sweat this early...

Aria? Good morning!

Do you do that every morning?

Sword training is a habit.

I have not missed a single day of training since I was a kid.

You’re serious to the core...

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

Of course!

But that move just now was like...

Was there a purpose to it?

It’s necessary to handle Luke’s katana.

The wielding of a katana is quite peculiar.

If I want to use it well, then I have to master this movement no matter what.

I chose this sword for that purpose.

I will definitely get Luke’s katana!

It’s definitely the power of love!

Aria, it seems that I need to have a serious discussion with you.

sukuri sukuri sukuri yami wo koe kaketsukeru

Up, up, up. Over the shadow, running quickly.

taitetsu na hito wo mamorinukitai

I want to protect those dear to me.

sono toki haguruma wa mawaridashiteta

At that time, the gears started to turn.

unmei michibiku yo

Fate will lead me

kimi no moto e to

to your side.

mebaeta omoi kakushiteitemo

Even if I were to hide these sprouting emotions,

hitomi wo mireba kimochi wa yureru kedo

my feelings will still waver once I look at your eyes.

negau koto wa hitotsu kowarenai kono kokoro

The only wish I have is that this heart of mine will never falter.

donna shiren ni taoreru to shite mo

No matter what kind of trials I fall before.

sukuri sukuri sukuri mouichido tachiagaru

Up, up, up. Stand up, once again.

sou kimi yo dokka mattete

That’s right, you can wait somewhere.

yowasa tachikiru no wa

That which will cut apart my weakness

kimi ga kureta Justice of Light

is the justice of light that you gave me.

Episode 4

Oath –Promise–

What is it?

It’s nothing.

By the way, Aria... Did you come to my bed last night?

Of course!

You’re so nice to embrace that it feels like I’m going to melt, Cecily!

Especially your breasts. They’re so soft.

I just wanted them as my pillow!

My breasts are mine!

You should use them as weapons.

I’m sure Luke would gladly forge a katana or two for you if you showed your breasts to him.

He already saw them.

Really?

I-It’s not like that...!

My breasts don’t matter.

I’m so jealous...

Your’s are fairly big, aren’t they?

Not that. I mean that sword.

The people who wielded me turned me into a cruel weapon.

But you wouldn’t do that, would you?

You would wield me to protect someone, right?

If you were my master, then I’m sure my wind would become wonderful.

If only that could come true...

I’m sorry for acting all weird...

Aria.

Yes?

I’m a weakling and am only average at wielding a sword, but still,

I was wondering if I could be your friend.

I want to be your true friend.

And you to be mine.

Would you...? With someone like me?

A knight doesn’t take her words back.

This kind of feels like a love confession.

I guess it does.

I also want you to be my friend.

Or rather, I order you to!

Would you...? With someone like me?

A sword doesn’t take her words back.

That’s not a love confession, right?

We know it’s dangerous but we can’t go back...

The magic sword is our main attraction. If we cancel the exhibit, our guests won’t stay quiet.

But the thought of a demon going wild in here is frightening.

I would like to avoid casualties.

As bad as it may sound, that’ll be hard to do.

Then I will take the responsibility.

Nevertheless, the knights must protect the citizens no matter what.

Yes.

We could say that this is a never ending paradox...

We’re constantly trying to uphold our ideals in the face of reality.

Our actions will likely result in the sacrifice of several men.

But still...

Yes... It has to be done.

We’ll lure out the black-clothed man with the magic sword and take him in one fell swoop.

Hello, Miss Cecily.

Finally, you’re here.

I’m giving you a special mission.

Sir?

You’ll be doing the magic sword’s stage performance in tomorrow’s auction.

What?

Luke, if something conflicts with your principles...

Well, suppose you have someone dear to you whom you’re supposed to protect.

What would you do if you had no choice but to put that someone in harms way?

You ask some annoying questions...

I’m sorry.

I would keep that someone out of harm’s way.

I don’t want to go through that again.

But if I had no choice but to do so...

Then I would protect that someone, even at the cost of my life.

And what’s the reason for these random questions?

I’m sorry. Thanks for your time.

Aria...

I think I might be about to put you in danger.

I’m sorry... We’ve just become best friends, but now this...

I was told to keep it a secret but, we’re using you as bait for—

I don’t mind.

I believe in you, Cecily.

Aria...

I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

Yeah. I will definitely protect you.

The magic sword.

That’s right. Your future resides in the magic sword.

You want it, don’t you?

I do.

The magic sword...

I thought so...

Make it yours.

The magic sword is yours alone.

The magic sword... The magic sword... The magic sword...

I want it!

This is the one and only greatest magic sword! It is the coveted basilard!

There’s no need to bid. First come first serve!

So, step right up!

I’m guessing that one was...

Yes, it was a fake.

Really?

Amazing! Look, Luke!

He’s breathing fire!

I’m leaving you behind.

Wait, please!

There’s nothing good this year, either...

What about Miss Aria?

If we had one hundred of her, we might make it out all right.

If we are to defeat him...

Calm down, Cecily...

But...

You’ll be just fine...

I sure hope so...

Are you ready?

Yes.

Go all out! If you do well, then you’ll have swarms of men wanting to marry you.

This isn’t my self-introduction!

That’s a shame... You have those huge breasts and all...

My breasts have nothing to do with this!

Why not? Luke should be here, too. Show him your stuff.

Your chest and breasts and whatnot...

Is that all there is to me? Besides, that perverted scrooge isn’t—

Such means words.

Luke!

I show a little concern and this is what I get.

No, I meant...

It was stupid of me.

Miss Cecily, it’s time.

Break a leg, Cecily!

Okay.

Don’t be so uptight.

Listen well...

The enemy shows up.

We secure the citizens.

We defeat the enemy.

That’s all there is to it.

Simple, right?

On your way now!

And now, today’s special attraction, the magic sword!

I’m counting on you.

I know.

Awaken from thy sleep, seize the truth, grasp the wind,

and kill “God.”

A human that can change into a sword.

And that’s not this magic sword’s only feature!

Aria, I’m counting on you.

The magic sword can create wind.

That man...

The magic sword... The magic sword... The magic sword...

I want it...

What’s that?

Now I can be saved.

The magic sword holds my future...

Don’t do it!

Run!

Everyone, run!

That’s a demon...

Women and children first! Hurry!

Guests from out of town go next!

O light guidance, bring down the impure one, bound by the covenant of the spirits.

Incantation squad, keep chanting even if you vomit!

Commander!

I’m not rude enough to not prepare some of our hospitality.

Hannibal, you bastard...

Did they do it?

Damn it!

Aria...

Aria!

Don’t do it!

Why you...

We’re both survivors of the same war...

Let’s have ourselves a good time.

You’re pretty good, old geezer...

But you’re the man I chose.

Now, bring me the magic sword.

You’ve messed with the Knight Brigade. You will not leave this place!

Aria...

Miss Cecily!

Hurry, let’s run! This way!

Wait! I have to save Aria!

You’ll die as well if you don’t run.

I promised that I would protect her.

But as I am now, I have no means to do so.

Please, lend me your strength, Luke.

Don’t push your incompetence onto me.

Miss Cecily!

I can’t do anything.

I didn’t make anything.

Am I not able to do anything, yet again?

No!

What is this?

Please, lend me your strength!

If you want it, I’ll give you my all.

If you want money, I’ll work until I die.

If you want my body, do as you please, so...

Please!

Come on, now...

I ask you, too. I can’t abandon Miss Aria, either.

Lisa?

You should know already! Miss Aria is like me...

All right... All right...

We just have to save her, right?

Luke!

But to save Aria, we have no choice but to defeat him.

His flame can melt iron.

Even my katana can barely withstand his flame.

So you will deliver the final blow.

Me?

Cecily Cambell, can you slay him?

He, like the others, used to be human.

I can.

We’ll begin forging now.

All right!

Dehydration.

Fragmentation.

Selection.

Accumulation.

Forging.

Folding. Folding. Folding. Folding. Folding.

If we don’t take lives with our swords, we can’t protect anyone.

That’s the reality of being a knight.

If that’s so.

Hilt accepting.

Facing him, it can take three hits.

That’s the limit for this katana.

Finish him the moment I cut his flame.

We only have a single chance.

If you fail, you will surely die.

Will you still do it?

A knight doesn’t take her words back.

First strike!

Second strike!

Go, Cecily!

Aria!

Let’s do it, Aria!

I don’t know the torments you went through during the war.

Idiot! Hurry up and finish him!

Saying I will save you is surely presumptuous.

But still, I vow to save everything I lay eyes on!

As long as there are light and darkness in this world, I will continue to stand in the light.

I will always uphold my ideals.

And fight for them!

Was he really here?

Yes, we definitely saw him.

So the black-clothed man eludes us once again?

I want to know your name.

Is it impossible?

Jack Stmder.

He said so through the wind.

Jack Stmder, I am Cecily Cambell.

The woman who killed you.

Don’t forget my name in your rest.

I will also remember your name forever.

The wind told me his last words...

Let’s hear them.

“I won’t forget,” he said.

Is that so...?

I send my condolences and deepest apologies to the precious 39 lives we lost.

I hold all responsibility for this.

I carve in my chest the will to avoid such tragedy from ever befalling our peaceful town again....

I guess this is goodbye...

Yeah.

It’s always been like this...

The magic sword brings death. It invites catastrophe.

And everyone discards me at the end.

Again and again...

Aria...

I wonder where I’ll go next...

It would be nice if there was someone like you...

There won’t be a “next...”

You’ll stay here and I’ll guard you.

Forever.

Really?

Aria, you’re not a sword meant to hurt people.

You’re a sword meant to protect people.

Promise me that you’ll become a sword who protects this town, along with me.

Be my true friend.

Become my comrade in arms.

As you command, I swear on my brilliant sheen as a sword!

A sword doesn’t take her words back.

Yeah.

Let's go!

Oh!

Yay!

Oh!

Hey!

sotto sotto soba ni imasu soyokaze no you ni

Softly, softly, by my side, like a gentle breeze.

shun to suru namida nante kawakaseru you ni

The tears that flowed out were blown dry, just like that.

POKKETTO no naka no chiisa na negai wa

Because the tiny wish inside my pocket

anata no egao dakara

is your smile.

Yay!

hashire hashire motto hayaku

Run, run, even faster.

kanashii koto atta toki mo

Even when something sad happens

akete yukou kono michi wo

we should still open up this route.

chizu nante itsumo kokoro ni aru

Things like maps are always in our hearts.

ashita wa HAPPI DEI

Tomorrow is a happy day.

Happy day.

kirari MIRAKURU HAPPI DEI

Sparkle, miraculous, happy day.

Oh!

Yay!
