The breeze feels great today!
Alright...
It's time to clean my brother's room!
Ow ow...
Ah, without me, he's so useless.
How could he forget to bring this with him?
A Knight's Pride
With Viera as their leader,
around 180 years ago,
the Crusaders fought a difficult and extended war.
The commander of the last invasion
was a part of the Tempel-Ritter,
his name was Judas-sama.
However, the Crusade did not go as expected...
Who is she? However, the Crusade did not go as expected...
Her objective seems to be the same as mine, yes.
I prefer to be left alone.
I am...
a shadow.
Food isn't as tasty when eaten alone.
You too?
That's right.
Nice one, Hyaweh-kun!
You got that right.
What?
My name is Acty Axel.
It is a pleasure to meet you.
Anyway,
could you comment about
the rumor going around?
Rumor?
I want to know! I want to know!
I've been wondering about the rumor too!
Hey! Haven't we all been wondering about it?
Now then,
are you really Wind-Land's...
You're done eating?
Not hungry anymore.
Who is that girl?
She kept tailing her.
Why isn't Priecia-sama doing anything about her?
I don't understand this at all.
Inspecting...
Today as well...
They're going in...
Together...
All clear. Inspection complete.
I've already asked you many times,
Why can't you leave me alone?
It is
my duty.
Don't you know the meaning of embarrassing!?
If I�m not here,
Priecia-sama may be in danger,
TL Note: The Greek letters seen here spell out Schoolmaster.
What's going on!? Who is she!?
She is just doing her duty.
Kagura-kun wishes to protect you.
She has no other motivations.
No, not any.
My problem is how she performs her duty.
It's not just me, other people find her
really weird as well!
Others?
Nothing...
Can anybody else protect you as well as Kagura-kun?
Nope, not any.
Stop answering your own rhetorical questions.
Waah?
Don't be upset.
Kagura-kun is risking her life to protect you.
That is why she journeyed all the way here.
Risking her life for me...
We must do this to win the war.
You understand this, right?
I understand...
I understand!
You should just be happy about the situation you're in.
Eh?
Enjoy it...
Rumor has it that she and Priecia-sama
have a special relationship.
Special relationship?
We shouldn't be talking about this in public.
This is getting interesting!
Leave.
Stop following me,
you've suffocating me.
You shouldn't say things like that.
What are you doing here?
I'm not sure about all the details,
but it seems like she cares a lot about you.
After all, she saved us from the ninja.
Couldn't you be nicer to her?
You're just as annoying.
Leave me alone.
Wait!
Don't come near me again, understand?
Let go!
Why are you angry all the time?
I said let go!
Brother!
Filia!
What are you doing here?
I came to give you this.
I forgot this?
It's Brother's precious...
Filia, let's go! It's Brother's precious...
Ara-Gladius!
You're lucky I brought that for you.
Yeah.
Hey!
Who was that girl you were with?
Which one?
You held her hand.
Well... It was Priecia...
So she's Priecia huh?
Brother!
Yes! What?
You should be more careful,
and stop being so absent-minded.
Filia, you can never concentrate on one subject.
Yes, I will.
That's the reason
why Brother needs Filia to look after him.
There's no need for that.
Yes there is!
It's final,
I have decided.
What?
Filia will work as a maid in this school.
Then I'll be a special student here.
Hey!
That means,
I can work in school and learn while I'm doing it.
It's a perfect situation.
I can take care of you
all the time from now on!
Just do whatever you want.
Okay!
Then, I'll live at your place!
What?
Umm...
My little sister took over my room tonight,
and I can't find any other place for her.
I was wondering if I could sleep here for the night?
How about you?
Why do you always keep watch over Priecia?
If you don't want to, you don't have to answer...
It's for Priecia-sama's well-being.
Oh, really?
You should take a break sometimes too.
If you need to sleep,
I'll lend you my blanket.
I have decided,
on a new solution to this problem.
You are very good at protecting me.
So you may continue.
There is one condition, however.
We must battle,
using only our primary weapons.
But magic will not be allowed.
If I win, you may still protect me,
but only from afar.
If you win,
you may do whatever you wish.
We will battle in the gym today after school.
I want to practice a bit before our battle.
Do you accept?
Yes.
Good.
We will meet after school.
A challenge?
That would be amazing!
But they are not using magic.
It's weird, but could be interesting.
Interesting?
Kagura or Priecia could be killed!
PRIECIA!?!?
Who is she?
She's my younger sister.
How are you doing? Filia at your service!
I will be the school's maid from now on.
Can you make her leave?
She's ruining our male paradise!
I know...
This is going to be an awesome party, Priecia will love it!
TL Note: Fel mistakenly believes that they are
holding a congratulatory party for Priecia.
No it's not a party, it's a challenge.
It's close enough isn't it?
They're pretty different...
Filia bets Kagura will win.
Why are you acting so rude?
Maybe there's another reason why she doesn't want Priecia to win...
That's it! I should throw a good luck party!
Good luck party?
Is Kagura-san from around here?
Filia is a great cook, so I will make her something special.
I would like to try your cooking.
Yay!
Let's go, Kagura-chan!
Great! I've got to start the preparations! Are you coming Filia?
Yes!
Priecia-sama!
There's a rumor, Priecia-sama,
that you're going to fight that shrine maiden.
Everyone's talking about it!
Don't disturb me while I'm practicing for the
match. How did you hear about this anyways?
Everyone knows it by now, there are rumors everywhere.
By the way, they're throwing a good luck party.
Party?
That's stupid.
What the?
They look... uh... good.
I'll don't think I'll be eating.
Are these even edible?
I want to leave.
What's wrong Kagura-san?
Tell me what you think about the food here!
How's it taste? Is it good?
Yes.
Everyone! Enjoy the food!
Okay!
I feel like I'm in heaven!
Wind-Land's cuisine can't me matched
by anything I've ever eaten before, yes!
I need to use this situation to the best of my ability...
It'll be my chance to determine whether
or not Priecia-sama is a princess!
Let's start!
At the start of the battle, Kagura's range gives her an advantage.
But don't underestimate Priecia-sama's sword speed after that.
Priecia-sama...
Since they cannot use magic,
we will see their amazing physical prowess.
Alright,
let's go!
Final move!
PRIECIA!
Alright, nobody's here.
Thank God no one's around to see me, yes.
They aren't observers, yes...
Concentrate... concentrate...
This is a great opportunity.
if she actually is a princess, then she
will be saved if something happens to her.
With all the confusion going about, I can find out her true identity.
Spell of fire...
What did I do?!
Oh, God, why do I always mess up?
What's going on?
She sprained her ankle!
What? Don't stop!
We will fight till the end!
Fire!!!
Everyone! Exit this way! Hurry!
Priecia-sama, hurry.
We are not leaving until the battle is finished.
Where are Priecia and Kagura?
They're still inside.
Brother!
Priecia!
Kagura!
Don't interfere! We are fighting till the end!
Stop caring about the duel!
Stop!
Stop fighting!
I don't care!
Are you okay?
Priecia-sama.
You're injured.
It's sad, to lose now when I've battled so hard.
Priecia-sama...
You two leave, I do not want to be burden.
That's...
not right.
You mustn't value your life so insignificantly.
I will sacrifice myself to protect you.
Kagura...
We aren't strong enough to put out the fire.
Even though all of this is going on, no one's coming.
Maybe Priecia-sama isn't a princess after all.
Brother!
Sword Fire Blast!
Karin-master!
She's fighting fire with fire!
Oh wow.
It's gone.
Let's see now...
By delivering more fire, she exhausted the
initial fuel supply, thus vanquishing the flames.
That just shows how resourceful the Tempel-Ritter are.
Of course.
Brother! Kagura-san!
Priecia-sama!
I wasn't able to find out anything at all!
It's you again...
Master, Hyaweh was the hero here.
He ran in and single-handedly saved these two ladies.
Master.
I was trying to save them...
You idiot!
You may have had an honorable motive,
but all three of you could have died!
Stop trying to be a hero!
But I am...
I am...
I am not wrong.
Believe whatever you wish.
Anyway, what caused this fire?
Starting a month ago, no one was allowed to enter this building.
If someone doesn't explain this, you will all be punished.
Why did we get punished too?
I don't know.
Stupid Brother...
you had me worried about you!
Sorry.
Geez.
Oh yeah, Filia will be staying in Fel's room now.
What?
Yatta!
The male-only sanctuary...
is back!
Kagura.
I lost.
Our battle has not ended yet.
You are injured, and you still want to continue?
Priecie-sama...
I admire you.
As agreed, I will protect you... from afar.
That's it...?
I forgive you.
After all, you came to save me.
No problem, I wanted you to be safe.
I see.
Now then, let's hurry up and finish cleaning!
Alright!
One day, I'll find out who you truly are!
Everyone's protection...
Next time:
A Knight's Ordeal.
The radiance in the heart of the prism.
Priecia-sama.
Fight.
