Libertá,
the only ones summoned to this emergency meeting
are those of the upper echelon of each serie.
Why are you here?
Dante is out dealing with negotiations regarding coastal waters.
Negotiations?
I haven't heard anything in regards to that.
Let's hurry.
R-Right.
You're late!
What the hell are you so annoyed about?
Nothing in particular.
I just don't want to waste time.
Let us begin.
Pirates have landed on Regalo Island.
Pirates?
They have kidnapped someone of importance to Regalo
and are currently on the run.
Someone of importance?
Yes.
Mondo's older brother, Moreno.
Papa's older brother?
Meaning Nova's dad?
As you all know, he can't escape on his own.
That's right...
Nova's father has been in a coma due to a severe illness...
S-Sorry.
I don't care. It's the truth.
They're asleep because I put them to sleep.
What are they after?
Who knows?
I can't see a possible motive whatsoever.
We're going to wait for their next move,
so, for now, you'll all be on standby.
How can you handle this so leisurely?
Shut up!
You are not to make a move until instructed to do so.
Why, you...
stupid stubborn chickpea!
Stop calling me a chickp—
How the hell can you be so calm
when your father's been kidnapped?!
Step up and say you're going to save him!
If it were me, I would go!
If I didn't, I'd regret it for the rest of my life!
Don't forget your place.
You dumbass!
My place has nothing to do with this!
Or are you going to say
that you don't care what happens to your father?!
Of course not!
Then why aren't you going?!
Let's go save him.
You're right.
If the three of us go, it should work out.
The three of us?
You, Princess, and me, duh.
The three of us will be able to save him,
and make it back safely.
Exactly.
Follow me. We're going to the harbor.
See? You were worried.
So you're certain that your dad is being held on that ship?
I had the Holy Grail's coast guard look into it.
Let's use that.
I'm not sensing anyone's presence at all.
Let's split up and look for him.
No.
We don't know how many of them there are.
It'd be unwise to split up our numbers without knowing.
Well, that's interesting.
By the way, how long is the hostage in the cellar going to be asleep?
I hear he's been asleep for years.
For years? Why?
I heard Death's got his soul.
P-Princess...
What?
What's with this guy?
Be on your guard, Princess.
You, too, Libertá.
Still so many of them?
Leave it to me!
Princess!
I-I'm fine.
Nova,
leave these guys to us.
Hurry and find your dad!
That's my line.
What?!
You actually think the two of you could handle this many?
What the hell?!
You're saying that you can?
I have the power of Death.
Go!
Nova!
You're in the way.
Go!
Fine! Come on, Princess!
La Tenebrore Addormentato!
Sleep!
This is...
Nova's Arcana power?
Nova!
If you're going to go, hurry back.
If I lose consciousness,
my power will wear off and they'll wake up.
They'll wake up?
The reason my parents are still asleep
is because I lost control of my powers.
Libertá!
Hurry!
Are you going to be okay if we leave you here by yourself?
Who do you think you're talking to?
Let's hurry.
Right.
Princess.
I told you before
that I would live by my sword, right?
Why are you bringing that up now?
In truth,
I'm just making excuses.
What?
Nova reminded me.
If he hadn't used his Arcana powers,
there's no way we would have gotten out of that situation.
I guess there is a difference
between not wanting to use them and not being able to use them.
Libertá, did you already forget what you told me?
What I told you?
Even if you can't now, you will be able to someday!
Right?
It's odd. When you say that, I actually feel like I will.
Really?
I've also said this before, right?
That you have powers, Princess.
You somehow make everything work out.
Princess, is this the guy?
Yes. I'm sure of it.
Must stay conscious...
Father.
Thank you.
So, you can make a face like that, too, I see.
What kind of face are you talking about?!
I'm sorry.
There's no way a child wouldn't care about
what happens to their parent.
Are you...
Libertá!
Leave it to my...
Power of Death!
You idiot!
Like I'd let someone as worn out as you
use their Arcana powers!
Just shut up and watch!
But...
Did you forget?
We came here
to save your dad and make it back safely!
You've got me to deal with, too.
I have no intention of losing
with Princess at my side.
Do you really think it's wise to look so confident?
Let's show him, Libertá!
Yeah!
You idiot!
S-Sorry!
Look out!
At this rate, we can't win.
But we have the upper hand in numbers.
Princess, I'll hold him off.
Use that opening.
Right.
I can't throw these... like this.
Now, Princess!
Take this!
Libertá!
It's all thanks to you, Princess.
No!
Princess!
I can do it, too.
Pensiero Realizzare.
Shatter!
That's right...
I did this back then...
Libertá!
Boss!
Thanks for your hard work, men.
It's for the runt.
Putting on this little act was no big deal.
This is as far as I can help you.
You three need to realize exactly how weak you are
and try your best to grow.
And become stronger in time
for the Arcana Duello.
Princess! You're not hurt, are you?
It'd be more awkward if she wasn't hurting,
sleeping in a place like this.
Why do you always have to take that tone?
The mansion's underground cellar?
Jolly!
Is my father safe?
Where's the masked man?!
We've secured Moreno.
I haven't seen a report regarding a masked man.
What?
When you three and Moreno were found at the harbor,
apparently there was no trace of the pirate ship.
I'd like to say it was a job well done,
but disobeying orders is still disobeying orders.
Normally you'd get a more severe punishment.
However, given your achievements,
I'll let you off with one night and two days in the underground cellar.
You should be thanking me.
Wha—
Agreed.
What?!
I must say that you three are very lucky.
What do you mean?
I just thought the whole incident seemed like a test
for you to use your Arcana powers.
Of course, that's just how it played out in the end.
Now that I think about it,
I used my Arcana powers...
You used your powers?
He did.
And it's because of both of your Arcana powers
that we were able to save Uncle and return safely.
Wait a minute!
Why does Jolly know what happened on the ship?
Now, choose the one that should be punished
by naming their card.
Il Matto.
La Luna.
Il Matto.
Tonight's sinner is you, Il Matto.
Why the hell is it just me?!
It was your idea to go save La Morte's father,
was it not?
The nocturne of corruption, Notturno version quarto.
It's something I just finished last night.
I'm pretty sure you won't die.
Suck it up and start drinking.
It's time for your repentance.
All right.
Your true repentance starts now.
Il Matto, tell us about your time in the cellar.
Yes.
The three of us, two men and one woman,
were trapped in the cellar,
a situation that fueled our carnal desires like no other.
Why are you talking like that?
Princess must have been tired as
she entrusted her soft, sweet-smelling
body to the stone bed,
and breathed softly in her sleep.
Not knowing what was about to happen to her,
her face totally relaxed in sleep,
and her snow white thigh peeking out from the darkness of her clothes...
What in the world was that drug you gave him?!
A cocktail that allows
one to answer with the carnal desires
they were feeling at the time of the question asked.
As young as we are,
it was more than enough to arouse us...
Knock it off!
You've rendered the sinner unconscious.
I hope you're ready for your punishment, as well.
S-Stop it!
Next time's story is about going to Luca's secret base?
Is that delicious?
More importantly, can I get more lasagna?
If the lasagna is delicious and the sky is blue,
I have no complaints.
Well, see you again next week!
