Hi, Arucei.
Gerouto-sama, today is the third day it has been raining.
The blessed rain of Arucei that falls
in our country is also here in Wind Land.
It's somewhat depressing when I think of that.
I'm really starting to miss the sun.
Hm? Did Onii-chan forget his umbrella?
How come you don't have an umbrella even though it's been raining all day?
Hm, I think someone took it by mistake.
If that's the case, then let's go home together under my love love umbrella.
Go home?
It's okay. I don't mind getting wet.
Not a chance. It'll be bad if you catch a cold on your first campaign.
But you know...
Come with me.
We're fine, Priecia-san. Onii-chan can use my umbrella...
Huh? My umbrella...
To the girl's dormitory... Love love umbrella...
Kagura-san?
Onii-chan! Onii-chan!
Bad... if you catch a cold...
We're going.
Y-Yes!
Alright, may I have your attention please?
You, who all have admirably completed the exams, will
all be participating in your first actual combat mission.
The border defense stationed in Gurenzeru
Fortress will be your rear support.
It's a mission with an associated glory appropriate
for a first campaign, so please give it your all.
If you make contact with the enemy during the mission, do
not panic or be alarmed and follow the briefing's orders.
First, form a defensive formation with your peers.
Then, consolidate your front line position and
contact the border defence as soon as possible.
Do you all understand? Even if you make a mistake...
They're always going on about how it's actual combat this time,
so I was bit scared that it was going to be some horrible brawl,
but it's just guarding that fortress in
the countryside. This'll be a piece of cake.
You idiot. What piece of cake?
What do you mean?
We learned about it in geography, didn't we?
The place we're going, Gurenzeru Fortress, lies
right next to the border of the Sablum Empire.
In other words, it's an important base that
lies on the Wind Land's final defensive line.
Huh?
Ah, you're so slow! To put it simply, Wind Land is done for if they
break through there. It's the most hotly contested area there is!
Ah, hotly contested Ehhh?
So that's how it is...
You there! Please listen to the explanation carefully!
Ah, understood!
You'll be dismissed otherwise.
Uh.... ast time...
Sorry, you say?
What have you done that is worth apologizing for?
Uh, well, you know... The date...
Ah, don't mind that.
Eh?
I'm speaking the truth. It no longer bothers me.
Therefore, you don't need to mind it either.
Just forget about it.
Sure!
But I sure was surprised! You just suddenly said
to go home together. I was sure you were still...
There was something I had to ask you about no matter what.
S--Something you want to ask me? What is it?
Hyaweh, do you...
Like? What does that...
Answer me! Do you love me?
What you are about to experience is a true battle in every way and form.
It's actual combat.
But each and every one of you, who have survived such
harsh training, are all proud elite knights of Wind Land.
There's nothing to fear.
In the name of Rerihion,
go forth and reclaim from the Sablum savages,
the Holy Land of Ressurection!
We're moving out! Board your vehicles!
Have a safe trip, Priecia-sama!
Long live Priecia-sama!
May the fortunes aid you, Hyaweh-sama!
Brave warriors, may each and everyone of you remember this.
Fighting in Rerihion's name does not mean dying in Rerihion's name.
Ow! Hey Hyaweh, don't stop so suddenly!
Hm? What's wrong? What are you looking at?
Hyaweh!
Let's go already.
Hey, Fel.
Fel, do you like me?
Huh?
Wh--what does that mean?
Don't tell me... You're going to confirm our love here--
Hey, are you even listening?
Hey, Bridget-chan, are you really okay?
That's a nasty cough.
Sorry to make you worry, Filia-chan.
To catch a cold on my first campaign... I'm really a pathetic knight.
You should have rested instead of insisting to come.
I couldn't! Priecia-sama and Hyaweh-sama are risking their
lives fighting. I couldn't just sleep in the dormitory by myself.
At the very least, I had to fight as a medic
to take care of everyone who are fighting.
Hm, it doesn't seem like there's a fever.
I wonder what kind of sickness it is?
Ah, you mustn't come too close to me!
Um, uh, it'll be bad if you catch my cold.
Alright then. I'll wake you up when we reach
the fortress. You should sleep for a while.
Thank you for that.
What a close call. She almost saw through my fake cold.
There's no way I could cross swords with my fellow Sablum people.
Answer me! Do you love me?
Hold on a second, Priecia. Asking me that suddenly is...
This is quite troubling...
Give me a clear answer! This is important... very important!
Both to your future and mine...
Priecia... I... this is the first time
I've felt this way or said this to a girl...
It's possible that I've liked you ever since the first time we met.
Priecia, you're my only one.
I see. Your feelings are quite clear to me.
Allow me to answer your feelings then.
I... you!
Ever since I've met you, I've greatly hated
you... hated you as much as you've liked me.
Farewell, Hyaweh.
Everyone, we'll be arriving at Gurenzeru Fortress very soon.
Please ensure that your equipment is ready for use.
Please don't forget anything.
This is a matter of life and death.
Everyone disembark! Line up!
What's wrong?
I'm... not feeling so well.
Maybe I'm carsick.
I don't like this castle.
Yes, sir! Everyone has arrived at Gurenzeru Fortress safely.
I will report to Captain Alex of the border defence immediately.
What happened?
Alex-dono!
You...
Sablum's ambush troops...
Duke, this is a first class emergency!
Gurenzeru Fortress has fallen into Sablum's hands.
I request that the mission is cancelled immediately! Duke! Duke!
I can't just stand here!
Sablum soldiers!
Don't be scared! Fight back!
What's going on here?
Where did they come from?
Jung! Hold on!
Heed to my command, gather upon my hand!
Pulsing power, protect me! Non de soi stohl!
Sensei!
I have no idea why, but enemies are coming out of the fortress.
Gather up the survivors and ensure an escape path!
Prism Bomber!
Amazing.
What's happening? What is this? Tell me, Bridget-chan!
It's an enemy attack.
Our-- I mean Sablum's soldiers set up an ambush.
But, but, this was an allied fortress! How were we ambushed?
Onii-chan...
Don't show your face!
Stay put until I get over there!
Behind you!
Bridget!
I'll protect Filia-chan, so don't worry!
Thank you!
Mibu Style Ultimate Sword Technique!
Shinryuugazan!
Is everyone alright?
Instructor!
What's going on?
It's an ambush.
There is no longer any doubt that Gurenzeru
Fortress has fallen into Sablum's possession.
What about Captain Alex? The fortress's soldiers?
My mission is to make sure you all retreat safely from here.
Your mission is to make sure you don't die.
Don't think about anything else right now.
But it's possible that there's survivors! They could
be waiting for reinforcements... waiting for us!
Are you telling us to abandon them?
I cannot consent! I cannot consent to such an unreasonable order!
Shut up! The reason you're all still rookies is because
you only know how to blurt out nonsense like that!
Grow up and obey my command!
I refuse.
What?
Just like how you don't want us to die,
we don't wish to see the people in the fortress die.
If there exists a single life that can be saved by my sword,
I wish to draw my sword for that life.
Not to mention... Instructor, you're the
one who taught us the way of the knight!
It's coming!
An angel?
It's huge!
Those weapons... It's Agierumu.
I see. This fortress was a prototype sacrifice.
It was chosen to be the location for an experiment.
No... I feel awful...
Fel!
I... 't... t this!
No!!
What an attack... That would've hit their friendly soldiers.
In the name of Arucei's love... This must be a bad dream.
It must be a dream.
What unbelievable firepower... It's terrible!
Priecia-sama...
Kagura...
The steel... y...
Everyone... Is everyone safe?
Thank goodness...
Angel...
That's not an angel... Angels are supposed to be God's messengers.
There's no way that dreadful thing is an angel!
That's right.
That is a wicked killing machine built by the Sablum Empire.
We're retreating. It seems like it will take
some time before it can fire its cannon again.
There won't be another chance after this.
Let's go, Priecia.
Don't touch me!
Didn't I tell you that I hate you?
You idiot! Is this the time to be talking about that?
We have to run! We'll all die if we don't run!
I don't care.
Ever since the day I decided to walk the path of a
knight, I've trained with the resolve of a dead person!
You should take this chance to run! I'll buy time!
What are you talking about? There's no way you can win against that alone!
Don't come near me! Don't touch me! You're always like this...
You never consider my feelings... You only reach out to
me when it's convenient for you or when you feel like it!
That habit...
Even so, when I truly wanted to grasp
your hand, you didn't do anything, did you?
Priecia!
Priecia-sama...
This is...
No one will be hurt by my mistakes anymore.
Don't get cocky!
Mirage Lash!
Not good!
The hit was too shallow!
No!
Priecia!
Hya...weh...
Don't talk! I'll bring you to Kagura for treatment!
Behind...
How dare you... ia!
When I heeded the command of my master, with the light
bestowed upon me, I governed the wandering tribes.
He sliced through the angel!
Onii-chan...
Priecia...
Amazing. Both that sword and Hyaweh-sama are amazing!
Gerouto-sama, I may have finally found the great successor to Wind Land.
That's Ala-Gladius.
The sword that hunts angels.
Eh? Priecia-chan disappeared?
She didn't listen to the teachers today,
and now she left without permission?
Next episode, The Wandering Knights.
Shine, prism of the heart!
Ah, I don't want Priecia-chan to become a delinquent!
