Original subtitles

He appears in our land on a whim and causes harm for no purpose.

In our land as well.

I see.

However,

once Bahl, the incarnation of destruction, is defeated,

the King of Darkness's aggression will be aimed solely at us.

Only under the current king.

Yes, once the next king takes the throne...

"Shironeko Project ZERO CHRONICLE"

Under the "light and dark" called justice

our wishes run aground in twilight

If you want the tomorrow on the other side of the mirror,

go through nightmares

Lives fragmented like the sea and sky

Even if we realize that their resemblance is false,

we can at least not give it words, give it form,

or doubt our bonds

and tell ourselves that even blindness is a mercy

White or black? The scales of Libra

waver cruelly

Together we cling, tenaciously, to our sliver of a promise

We looked up at a nebula

of numberless dystopias

I crawled through the mud, mind ablaze,

and met you on the far side of the scales of Libra

"Chapter 5" "United Front"

Your Majesty,

the mage force has just returned.

Wait, it looks like Her Majesty's not here.

Sheama, is the reconstruction of Metis on track?

Yes, it's going smoothly.

I see.

Here.

I see. A ceasefire to eliminate Bahl.

So Her Majesty has gone to stop him?

Yes.

Still,

it says the envoys will be hostages in the meantime.

If they turned violent now, with Her Majesty absent...

That's why I'm staying here.

Although,

they don't seem so bad.

Is that so?

Well, I won't know unless I meet them.

Please introduce us later.

I'll take a short rest first.

All right. Thanks for everything.

Your Majesty...

Here you go.

Thanks, mister.

Come again. Take care.

I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about today.

Oh my, how frightening.

We can't stay here.

I see they're fully prepared.

So, he's here.

The instant Bahl lands is our chance!

We'll pinion his wings and launch an all-out attack.

Groza, I'll leave the crossbow troops to you.

Understood.

Bahl is approaching at this very moment

to destroy this land for no reason at all, merely on a whim!

We cannot permit such barbarity!

His arrogant rampage ends today!

Show him what the elite troops who defend the Kingdom of Black can do!

Yeah!

Oh?

Bahl, by my lord's order,

I will strike you down!

Take this!

No need to rush.

The party's only just begun.

What?!

I'm impressed you got so many toys together just for me.

I appreciate your hospitality.

Now...

I'll have to give you a little pat!

Impossible!

Good boy, good boy.

He crushed them all like they were nothing!

Sorry,

but can I have my next toy now?

Do not mock us!

Draw him in as close as possible.

Fire!

Great!

Are you that eager for attention?

Don't get cocky!

Solitaire Orage!

You'll never hit me with that.

N-No way. It can't be.

Units two and three, at the ready!

Yes, ma'am!

Fire!

Don't throw a tantrum.

Go!

Hmph... How courageous.

A clever trick...

...but unfortunately for you, I'm a connoisseur!

Let me have a feel.

What's this?

Oh-ho.

Of course that wasn't all we've got!

Révolte Éclair!

Swords of mine,

come forth from the void.

This time we got him!

That was a little amusing.

Just a little.

N-No way.

Now, if you're out of tricks, it's time to die.

Can you still dance?

What's wrong, boy?

I'm not done playing yet.

Don't take me lightly!

H-Hey...

What should we do?

I think it's time I ended this.

Hmm?

Letting your people escape? How kind of you.

Why not let some light in, King of Darkness?

It would save me trouble.

World's Egoism.

Huh? What's that?

There can be no better name for you, who defies the balance.

Call me what you like.

I'm not fond of being called a dragon or a god.

But then, I'm not fond of letting you name me, either.

That's good.

I have no intention of doing anything you'll find pleasant!

You make me laugh, base instinct!

What fun!

Hey, where...?

His Majesty?!

You're not living up to your boasts!

Damn you!

Darkness, one end of the balance, disappear!

What?!

Calida Lux, Puram Lucem.

The Queen of Light?!

The Queen of Light!

That means...!

Yes.

They made it in time.

Curse you!

Just this once.

Frustrating, isn't it, Bahl?

Impudent small fry!

Wretched, aren't you?

Darkness! Base instinct!

Have you abandoned your last shred of pride?!

Will you ally with light only when it suits you

and cling to your meaningless balance?!

Howl all you want.

This is the end for you.

Writhe in torment for eternity

in the depths of Tartarus, my Scorching Prison.

For eternity?

Why not eliminate me?

Oh, no need to tell me.

The answer is obvious.

Well then, I'll be seeing you.

What a shame, Egoism.

This slight tilting of the scales is my path.

"No. 05 Bahl"

Later dragons and gods are said to have taken those titles in hopes of emulating Bahl's might."

So, you're the special envoy and his bodyguard.

Thank you for granting us an audience, Lady Sheama.

Still, I never imagined one with the heavy responsibilities of a court mage...

...would be as stunningly gorgeous as you.

I don't need your flattery.

Forgive me.

The knight commander tells me

that the people of Black do not wish for war.

Is that true?

Yes, it is true.

However...

He says that all who defy the king's orders are killed.

I see.

What do you think you're doing?!

Phious, look!

Queen Iris!

Your Majesty, are you all right?

I fulfilled the terms... of our alliance.

Yes, Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, are you all right?!

Your Majesty!

Oh no.

I can't see any wounds!

What's happened to Her Majesty?!

She must have used too much power!

Hurry, get her to the palace.

R-Right.

You two, please wait in your guest rooms.

Will Her Majesty be all right?

She herself became a medium for the immense power of the Progenitor Rune.

The strain that put on her was extraordinary.

Phious, report the results of this battle to the envoy.

B-But...

Please.

A-All right.

I'm coming in.

You're already in.

Sorry.

Hey, how about a drink?

No thanks.

What gives?

You're such a stick in the mud.

That Sheama lady was my type.

Oh, but you prefer the Queen of Light, don't you?

This isn't the time!

It's not funny.

Sorry. I took that too far.

I'm just... concerned for her.

Oh, is that so?

Hey! What are you doing?

I don't remember giving you leave to move between rooms.

I never expected you to drop in, Knight Commander.

Knight Commander,

how is Her Majesty?

That's none of your concern!

But... she should recover soon.

I see.

Knight Commander?

No, it's nothing.

So, did they manage to defeat Bahl?

Yes.

The terms of the alliance were fulfilled without incident.

I see. I guess that means our job is over.

Let's say goodbye to Her Majesty and get back to the ground.

Iris, you don't need to shoulder everything yourself.

I'm exhausted.

I want to hurry home and take a bath.

Sir Vallus?

That was a hard battle. You did well.

Bahl, the World's Egoism.

Successfully sealing him away is a great boon to our country.

It is.

So, do you need something?

I know you must be tired,

but deliver this to the Kingdom of White.

Understood.

Prince of Darkness.

I walk the quiet streets alone

in my memories

The times I can't see you

lead me a little astray, a fleeting light

I want to touch your darkness,

what lies beyond it and its truth

Let me light your darkness

Even if we're apart

Won't you let me light your darkness?

I'll find you

Run, light,

to where you are

Through the dark

Through the dark
