==ED==
My only time of glory
is that night when I produced a blue rose in the palace.
The two years after that...
Even now,
you still don't want to let me see your true visage.
The me in front of you now is the truth.
There is no falsehood in my heart.
My beloved Coco Rose...
Baron Musgrave!
Is anything wrong?
After a few days, the trial began.
Next witness: Science Academy, Jupiter Roger.
Whether alchemy existed or not,
Scholars from the Ministry of the Occult provided evidence.
Scholars from the Science Academy overruled them.
This was a trap set to undermine my influence.
What a farce.
We will give you a chance, Leviathan.
Make gold right here and now.
This is the order of His Majesty King Rupert de Gille.
So that's it.
You want to exile me, then make gold for yourself?
What are you saying?!
Does Your Majesty agree with him too?
The mask... Can you take off your mask?
Gold or whatever, it doesn't matter.
I am only afraid.
Are you a demon, or are you a human?
Have I made a contract with something unnatural?
Don't... Don't approach...
Please, your mask... take your mask...
Stop, don't touch me!
Episode 15
Two Little Monsters with Matching Hearts
I heard from my father.
He said that the conclusion was that alchemy does not exist.
How foolish.
Ian, that isn't something you should be concerned about.
Please teach me alchemy!
I will use your skills to convince Father!
I made him drink molten gold.
You bastard! Take him away!
There is gold somewhere within this room.
Please ask this of Baron Musgrave.
If alchemy does not exist,
Then where did the gold that killed his son come from?
No one can judge me!
No one... No one can!
Forgive me, Ian.
He lost control of himself because of rage and despair?
What a fool.
Ian...
I've always wanted to see you, Leviathan.
My name is Albert.
I came here to protect you.
You said you will protect me?
From whom?
The King, of course.
We, the Ministry of the Occult, can't help you against the will of the King.
But, personally, I'd like to help save you.
Of course, there are conditions.
You want gold too?
I don't want some crude plaything like that.
I just want to be prepared for the storm.
Storm?
It's the first one.
An unprecedented storm approaches.
But the King is unaware of that.
What is it?
It's war.
A great war never before experienced in human civilization.
The world will split in two and battle with one another.
All the cities, oceans, and even the sky will become a stage for war.
And the blood will flow in torrents. Some countries will be exterminated.
After the storm, the world will be changed.
A new age supported by new rules will come.
It must be protected.
Protect our history, knowledge, and ancient power!
What do you want from me?
He wants to use you.
I wish for you to create the power to fight.
To protect the ancient Europe and Saubure from the new powers.
Create what?
Man-made warriors unafraid of death.
Man-made humans. Homunculus.
A tool for the storm.
A lonely monster imprisoned in the clock tower.
He is still pacing about in that prison cell today, lonely and desperate.
You, too?
I know you.
Bryan Roscoe.
I heard about you in the Village of the Grey Wolves.
Who are you?
To Victorica and her mother, you are...
Who are you to that person?
Me?
I am... Victorica's friend!
Friend?
What's so funny?
Grey Wolves will not befriend humans.
Grey Wolves will not open their hearts to humans.
That's not true!
Humans can only fear the Grey Wolves.
The only people who approach them are those who wish to manipulate their power.
Victorica...
During the first storm...
A beautiful monster was born.
Part of a plan... for the second storm...
Storm?
Several years from now,
A great gust will blow and warp the world.
Certainly, she is a child of my brethren.
But she is also a daughter of the noble who controls this country.
In the end, she is only their tool.
Are you saying that you want to do something to Victorica?
So what will you do if that is true?
I will protect her!
Can you protect her?
What a gallant knight.
Victorica... isn't a tool!
Not a monster... nor a Grey Wolf!
But she is my friend.
Everything is already in motion.
Wait! What does that mean?
Be careful. Marquis de Blois is an irrational person.
He disappeared?
Marquis de Blois is... Victorica's father.
Something is going to happen... centered around Victorica.
Victorica!
What is it?
V–Victorica?
Ah, what is it, you ask?
It was just... voice exercises!
Vi~c~to~ri~ca!
You're truly a strange man.
Anyway, what are you doing here?
I'm here to solve the riddle, of course.
Leviathan's riddle has been solved, right?
All of the fragments of Chaos have been gathered.
Do you want me to spell it out?
Of course!
It can't be helped.
Call the newt and the sharp-head here too.
Okay.
There are two reasons that there are so many myths about the clock tower.
The first is that 20 years ago, there really was a strange alchemist.
Then the other... is the feeling you have right now.
Look at this.
This is...?
I asked the carpenter to make a few measurements of this clock tower.
The blue lines are how it should be.
But the black lines are the actual state of the clock tower.
That is the reason for this strange feeling.
This building was built tilted.
For example, the floor of the hallways is slightly tilted.
It looks straight, but is actually gradually sinking.
The steps of the stairs also have slight changes in height.
I understand. So that's why that time...
But why is such a building built like this?
You heard about how secret rooms were used to hide the Protestants at the cemetery, right?
Yes.
Building the tower slanted allows for the building of a secret room.
And based on the blueprints...
This school used to be the secret armory of Saubure.
It is a place where many things that shouldn't see the light of day are hidden.
It's no surprise that it has a secret room.
So that means that something is hidden here?!
Victorica, you...
Kujou, sing.
Eh? Sing what?
The African's Song.
I don't want to! Why should I...!
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
I got it, I got it!
Good.
Gold and black skin.
Walking in a single row, walking in a single row.
African people jumped over the expansive, scorching ground,
screamed, then vanished.
That's the last time!
As a man, how can I sing and dance before others?
Shut up.
Shut up and make a sorrowful expression.
Many fragments of Chaos float in that song.
Gold.
Also, why do the Africans speak about screaming and vanishing?
All the Africans in the village died in 1873, right?
Yeah.
That year, spreading from New World,
an era of gold fever began on the continent of Africa.
Even in Saubure Kingdom colonies.
The King then hired Africans.
He used secret nautical routes to import gold into the nation.
Then, to silence them...
But the following year, the King suddenly died.
In the ensuing chaos, the people who knew the secret of the gold disappeared too.
Only he was left.
He?
For a very long time, he remained anonymous.
But 20 years ago, he reappeared again.
As the mysterious masked alchemist.
Leviathan!
But... didn't you say that his alchemy was just a scam?
Kujou, do you remember me telling you the story about the Philosopher's Stone?
Alchemists had stones that held secret powers, right?
What color were they?
They were supposedly a rich and deep red, like a pomegranate.
Is that shade of red in this room?
A person who understands alchemy would definitely notice that flower.
The ones who died were all foreigners.
They were all here seeking the secret of Leviathan's alchemy.
Don't touch it, Avril Bradley!
Why?
It is covered in poison.
Leviathan set this up.
To hide his true identity and his alchemy secrets.
True identity?
Let's see.
This is...
I found you, Leviathan.
You feel much regret, don't you?
Fool. I know.
The true visage under your mask.
How about it? Do you admit defeat?
I know.
He's an African?
50 years ago, the true identity of the invisible spirit appeared in the cemetery.
That was him.
He couldn't be seen because the shadow of the African youth melded with the night.
I understand.
You were the only one who knew where the gold was hidden.
You used that gold to pretend to be an alchemist and approach the King.
But why?
Because you wanted to protect your homeland.
Influence the King.
You wanted to save your homeland that was subverted into a foreign colony.
Then, your own heart defeated you...
That was all a story from the past.
A dream, an illusion.
Victorica!
Are you all right?
Yes.
Farewell...
Black Monster.
Is this the end?
Leviathan!
Where are you? Come out!
I need you!
Warriors, and homunculi!
How could I do those things?
Albert, if you want strength,
just procreate with a woman.
A woman with special talents.
Albert de Blois.
Leviathan!!!
The clock tower has been planned for dismantlement.
I see.
How much do you know?
I have the Fountain of Wisdom.
Father wanted to use Leviathan to create an army of homunculi.
But he failed.
Then he had me, a lone Grey Wolf...
I am the same as Leviathan.
A tool for the storm.
I'm imprisoned in this school because this place is a secret armory.
But how long will Father leave you here?
Or could it be...
Ah, I found you!
Victorica!
I was looking for you.
Seriously, you disappeared in an instant.
Since I first met you, I don't even know how many times I've had to look for you.
If I can't find you someday in the future, I won't care.
Is that right, Kujou?
You can't find me?
Can you protect her?
Because of that strong gust, you two will be worlds apart!
But... your hearts will never be apart.
It's all right.
Look, just like in the past, I will always find you.
So, let's go.
You in the future, who has received this book,
my soul twin.
Please find me.
From this prison...
From this loneliness...
Save me.
Hey! Victorica!
Are you here?
You must've hid somewhere again.
Eh? You're not here?
Victorica!
