A wind is about to blow.
This town?
I'm sure of it. The Throne of Yord is in this town.
I can feel it in my heart.
I didn't think you had a heart.
How rude! If only I could show you...
all of my exquisite charms.
It's really unfortunate.
There's magic out there.
It's getting closer.
It's here. It's here!
I know.
Can you handle it?
I think so.
Enough, Japolo!
I could've got him.
There's no point. It's too weak.
But there's no mistake he's here.
Kagetsu...
I'll catch you.
Shining through the clouds above...
the glorious morning light...
wraps and caresses my body complete.
Although we may not meet...
Although I may be lonely...
I feel a special person watching over me.
If only I can bear the countless mornings of prayer...
a true happiness will finally come to me.
The tears that I shed...
on those mornings of prayer...
will surely reach you one day, I believe.
The Throne of Yord
So, this is my little castle for now.
This is how the story will begin.
Wait a minute. This isn't the time to sit back and relax.
The Guardian World is in turmoil right now!
Well, it's not my fault.
I'll do what I can, but who knows what will happen.
What an irresponsible thing to say!
Now I'm really worried about all this.
Yeah, whatever.
Well, I'm going to keep saying it too.
You never plan things properly and everything's always...
What a pest.
You said, "whatever".
It doesn't mean you can say whatever you want.
What was I supposed to do then?
Asking that is even worse!
I see.
Saying "I see" is even worse!
I knew it.
Thank you.
It's been a while, Sarah.
Hello, Tiara.
I came here to capture you.
I'm so glad, Tiara.
If that's what has to be done...
you would be most suited to it.
I'm glad we agree.
Good luck, Tiara.
Though it won't be easy...
I think you will do it.
You sound like a prophet, Sarah?
This is Tiara.
She was living abroad with her parents...
and she's just arrived here recently.
She's new to this town...
so I want you to become friends...
to study and to participate in activities together.
Let's see where you'll sit...
Didn't your parents come too?
They had to deal with some things, so I'm here by myself.
Apoline, it's not nice to pry into her like that.
I'm Suzanna White.
I'm Apoline Faria.
And I'm Mimi Joyman. Nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you too.
I'm so glad I got into this college. I think I'll make lots of friends.
If you like, I'll be your very first friend.
You're the first?
But that'll scar her for the rest of her life.
Why are you so mean? You're so sarcastic.
It's inevitable for a beautiful rose like me to be sarcastic.
If you don't want, you don't have to be our friend, Tiara.
You're all having fun.
Lena!
Lena, this is Tiara.
Lena's very quiet but she's the class president, you know.
Nice to meet you, Lena.
Nice to meet you too, Tiara. Let's be friends.
All right.
Lena, let's go home together.
Sorry. I have some errands to run.
All right then. I'll see you tomorrow!
Lena...
Tiara...
How strange to run into you in a place like this.
So, what's this all about? I didn't hear you were going to be here.
I didn't know you were going to be here either.
Maybe the Elder wants to pit us against each other.
Gee, I wonder.
I have no idea.
Big deal. I'm not expecting any answers from you.
But we might as well join forces and find the Throne of Yord.
Why would I want to do that?
I don't need your help at all.
If anything, you'd get in the way.
That's too much.
Leon...
It's been a while, Tiara.
You haven't changed at all, including that foul language.
You have no right to say that to me!
Well, excuse me.
It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Japolo, Tiara's partner.
So, you've taken over from Graham.
Hello, I'm Lena.
I'm Leon, her partner.
Nice to meet you.
You really cramp my style, you know.
Really?
Just stay out of this.
Touchy...!
Anyway, let's not interfere with each other.
All right? Is that a problem?
This one hour will be completely ours.
How inconvenient that I need my partner to create a Stasis Field.
Gosh, you complain a lot.
Just hurry up and find the Throne of Yord.
Right, right...
There's no mistake. It's very close.
I can feel its shield nearby. I just have to aim for the center.
I can feel it! The Throne of Yord is moving!
Are you all right, Sarah?
I'm sorry, Brother. And all just because of me.
It's all right, Sarah. Say no more.
I'm so sorry.
Don't worry.
I'll protect you.
Are you sure about this?
Absolutely.
With this intensity, we should find it in 5 minutes.
I just hope you're as good as you say you are.
I wish you'd have a little more respect for your partner.
Oh, no. This isn't working.
That sound is like a wall around the Throne of Yord.
What should we do, Tiara?
There's one person I know who can make a wall in a Stasis Field.
What are you trying to do?
Good evening, Tiara.
I'm asking you what you're doing?
Do I have to explain it right now?
For some reason, you don't want to tell me.
Step back, Japolo.
All right. Let's settle this with power.
I, Tiara, call upon those entities subject to me.
Gather forth and share thy powers with me.
My happiness is also yours.
Appear before this symbol!
The way is open!
You think your power can get me?
You will need another power.
You better hurry, or it'll be too late.
Hurry up now.
Too slow.
Let's end it now.
Leon!
I'm impressed, Leon!
I guess this one won't do. Let's try another.
Powerful subjects, show me the source of your powers.
Fulfill your contract with Tiara!
Bring forth the powers of the ancient scriptures...
and place them upon the name of Tiara!
Fulfill your duty!
Geil Eldo Zamath!
A Neutralizer! Kagetsu is very close!
You don't have to tell me that!
Kagetsu! I am here...
to capture you!
You know that you can't escape!
Come on out!
Let's go, Japolo.
Huh? But...?
I'm going.
Wait!
It's become quite complicated.
Weren't you expecting this?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
It's all right, Kagetsu.
I want to be a source of strength for you.
You'll fight Tiara for me.
It's not for you.
I'm doing it for Sarah.
That's my intention...
and I'll do what I have to.
Thank you.
I want to ask you to retrieve the Throne of Yord.
Yes, sir.
Stolen by Kagetsu...
the Throne is indispensable to the Guardian World.
You know what to do if he refuses to give it up?
I will kill Kagetsu.
You seem to be prepared.
You must go now, Tiara.
What are you spacing out about?
Quit bothering me. It has nothing to do with you.
It has everything to do with me!
I'm your partner, you know!
We should be talking about this.
Wow, what a surprise. I knew Lena was in town...
but to think she's working with Kagetsu...
Wait a minute! Did you know that Lena was here?
It seems like the intention was to send you here without...
telling you that Lena was sent here first...
to retrieve the Throne of Yord...
but then lost contact.
That's right...
Why didn't you tell me that when we bumped into Lena earlier?
Greeting her all so nicely and all!
In answer to your question, firstly...
since I have no idea what you know, I didn't know what to say.
And, secondly...
since I am a well-mannered animal, I gave her a proper greeting.
How's that for an answer?
Whatever.
I heard that you, Lena, and Kagetsu grew up together.
I want to hear more.
I want to hear more about why you're such an insensitive animal!
There's nothing to offer on that.
Yeah, right...
Kagetsu and Lena, huh?
I guess it's all right.
We meet again, Tiara.
Where are you, Sarah? I'm looking for you.
Maybe you know this, but I'm with Kagetsu.
Kagetsu...
And isn't Lena with you as well?
It's not like you to ask such things, Tiara.
Take this.
What you look for is in your hand...
but it may not be real.
Beauty is not simply something that is created...
for the purposes of decoration.
The existence of beauty is also found in...
conceptual ideas such rationalism and functionalism.
A good example of this...
You were so funny in class today.
Just staring blankly at Lena's face.
Has this woman fallen for another?
Don't be ridiculous.
But you have to admit that Lena is pretty ideal...
for a man or a woman.
It's like we don't even have a chance.
I don't see it that way.
Well, let's just say Tiara is on the right track.
But, you know...
I didn't mean it that way at all.
Japolo.
Hello, Japolo.
Hi, Leon.
What's up?
Miss Lena wants to have a meeting with Tiara tonight.
I'm here to set it up.
I see.
So, Leon. This is just between us, but...
don't you think Lena's bending the rules a bit?
That's up to Miss Lena to decide.
I see. You're an awfully devoted servant of the princess.
Perhaps you're right.
Are you going?
I was invited after all.
It would be rude not to go.
Besides, unless I deal with her first, I'll never get to Kagetsu.
I'll just have to do it.
I have created the Stasis Field, Miss Lena.
I'll make sure I don't get in the way.
Good.
So, you wanted to talk to me about something?
Tiara...
Will you return to the Guardian World?
I'll talk to Kagetsu and somehow retrieve the Throne of Yord.
Look, we have to get back the Throne of Yord right now.
We don't have time to sit around and negotiate with a deserter.
Aren't you worried that Sarah will die?
What do you mean?
Didn't you once love Kagetsu?
Chasing down the man you once loved and his sister like this...
I can't believe you're doing this!
Is that all you have to say?
I can't understand how you could be so irresponsible!
I'll be the one to seal you and send you back!
You're the worst, Tiara!
And you're in no position to tell me that!
That cheeky attitude of yours is nothing more than selfishness!
You're despicable!
Tiara...
I don't like you.
If there is a time when I must kill you...
it is now.
I didn't know you were so clever with words.
Do what you please!
I summon thou powers...
to appear before this symbol!
Gaius!
You don't understand, do you?
The size of the power is not what counts.
I am going to tear your power to shreds!
Over so soon?
Perhaps you were overly confident about your power.
I can at least do this.
I am the one responsible for the Throne of Yord.
You are not required.
Is that it?
Oh, no!
Miss Lena!
I will do it! Please lend me your power!
But...
This is no time to quibble! Unless we combine our powers...
we cannot defeat her!
All right.
Fulfill your duty!
Geil Eldo Zamath!
I won't forgive you now.
I'm coming for you!
Leon!
I think I'm okay, Miss Lena.
Leon...
There's a big difference in our abilities.
What will you do?
Miss Lena. Infuse my soul with your powers!
So, it seems you're serious now.
The stone of fate that I happened upon at my birth...
guides people...
through happiness and sadness.
If I open my hand and cast it away, will something change?
Or, would I just get lost if I lose the rock?
I will be all right, even if we're just friends.
The warmth and kindness that I felt...
on the day that I fell in love.
Even if it were to end at that...
I will cherish it forever.
But I am still in love.
I will never forget.
Please don't leave me alone...
in that forest of memories.
I cry.
Where are you going?
