Allison to Lillia ep.15
(opening song)
(eyecatch)
Here in Lartika, we were thrilled about the first plane ride we'd had in a long time.
Lilia, Treize, how does Lartika look from above?
It's wonderful!
It's as if it were made up of toy blocks.
I'm glad I came.
Do you want to continue to fly over the town?
No.
I want to go higher.
I want to go to the lake!
How about you, Treize?
Ah, you don't have to ask me for my opinion.
Good, then I'll fly the scenic route of the lake.
Just as I thought, it feels great to be able to fly without bounds.
That means you've rode in an airplane before, haven't you, Lilia?
It's a secret, though.
Got it, I won't ask.
By the way, Mateo.
Um, I want to ask you something... that is, I have a favor to ask.
What is it?
So that's why you chose the second seat.
Um, can I take control of the craft for just a short while?
That's asking too much.
Go ahead.
All right!
Eh?!
Young lady, you're probably from some rich family,
who has held the yoke of a private plane before.
Well, something like that.
The truth is, I learned how to fly in an Air Force military plane from Mama, but I can't bring myself to say that.
In that case, I'll hand it over to you.
However, if anything happens, I'll take control.
Roger!
Yahoo!
It feels great!
You're pretty good!
The person who taught you how to fly must be someone outstanding, Lilia.
Thanks!
Times have certainly changed.
As a pilot, I've always thought that a full scale war would take place where I would die in action.
There are no such worries any more.
Yeah, since the world has drastically changed.
Ever since the day that mural was found.
Way before you two were born.
I learned about it at school.
The pilot from Sous-Beil, who was missing in action, discovers the historical mural.
Thanks to him, tens of thousands of lives were spared.
Including mine.
And the parents of the girl right here were the true heroes behind the scenes.
It's about time to return to the harbor.
Let me take control of the craft.
Sure.
Huh? Sorry, but I have to sidetrack for a while.
I won't charge you extra, so don't worry.
Huh?
Okay, but is something wrong?
I found a seaplane.
I have to confirm whether it's stranded or not.
The emblem of a saw...
It's from the local military.
Local military?
The Torcacia Air Defense Force, isn't it?
Still, something's strange.
Why hasn't the automatic emergency signal been activated?
Perhaps he's just fishing?
Since the weather's so nice.
You can catch catfish and sturgeon around here.
Engine failure? Or are you out of fuel?
If you're taking a break, no offense, but I'm just doing my job.
I'll take a look myself.
I wonder what it is?
Beats me.
Let's see...
Lilia, duck!
Freeze!
Or else I'll shoot!
Run away! At once!
Shut up!
Lilia.
W-What?
Stay where you are.
Huh?
Hey... what are you doing?
We're going to make our escape!
Lilia, can you hear me?
Y-Yes, loud and clear. You don't have to scream!
You weren't hit, were you?
I'm fine.
More importantly, let me control the plane.
Not for now.
Why not?
You've lost your composure.
Of course I have!
After all, what are you going to do about Mateo?
In any case, I'm going to fly along the edge of the lake back towards Lartika.
Once we reach there, we'll notify either the police or the Federal Army to rescue Mateo.
Okay... Wait a second, it's not okay!
Why do you have a gun?
Ah, this is for security measures...
That's against the law!
It's no problem.
Why's that?
It's okay for the Royal Guards to carry it.
Royal Guards? Who?
Treize, heads up!
What's going on?
Aren't they supposed to protect this country?
I don't know.
But Lilia, bad people do bad things.
Their status and appearance has nothing to do with it.
Why are you so calm?
I see the shore.
I'm going to land before they shoot us down!
Let's get out of here!
Yeah.
Treize...
What is it?
Don't tell me you've been shot.
No...
It hit me right on the noggin.
Ouch!
Um, y-you're lucky to end up with just that after being shot by a fighter plane.
That's right, Mateo's seaplane!
This can't be...
What are we going to do now?
Well, I'm glad I hit my head.
Huh?
If it were my leg, you'd have to piggyback me, Lilia.
What are you talking about?
Then, that means from here on...
Yeah.
We're going to walk.
Meriel!
I'm here, Mother!
My, your face is so dirty.
You've made matters worse.
Dinner will be ready soon.
Okay.
Thanks for the food.
It looks delicious!
Say, darling.
What is it, Fi?
Wasn't it such a lovely sunset?
Right, a romantic sight indeed.
I wanted to narrate romantic stories with you forever.
Sigh, I wonder where Treize is and what he's doing now?
Now that you mention it, you're right.
Oh, who knows.
Hey, doesn't this trip mean something special to Treize?
Huh?
Don't tell me that you forgot.
Here's to Mr. Treize, Miss Meriel, on your fifteenth birthday...
Congratulations!
Today, I'm going to set things straight!
I'm your older sister, okay?
No, I'm your older brother!
You're shorter than me.
Only by several centimeters, you nitpicker!
A big enough difference for me to win...
Come on, that's enough.
Treize, your mother wants to talk to you.
Talk to me?
There's something I wanted to tell you when you turned fifteen.
You know about Princess Matilda, heiress to the throne of the Kingdom of Bezel?
Only by name.
The Bezel Royal Family would officially like to accept you as fiancé to Princess Matilda.
Since you're the son of the Royal Family of Roxche, and of the legendary hero who found the mural.
Don't tell me you accepted the offer, Mother.
No, I haven't.
However, from my position as the Queen, it's not a bad offer at all.
I know that.
For a small country like Ikstova, it's not a bad deal.
Treize, let's do it this way.
Consider your twentieth birthday as a milestone...
...where if you can manage to find a marriage partner by then...
...I will formally decline the offer.
However... if you don't have somebody in mind...
Very well.
In that case, I will head out to the Bezel Royal Family.
Your Majesty.
That's why Treize is using his summer break...
...to go meet the girl of his dreams.
Meriel, you're so sharp.
When he returns from his trip, he might bring that girl back here.
No way. It's Treize, you know.
You think so?
Meriel, what would you do if he did?
The chances are so remote, it's beyond my imagination.
This can't be happening!
I couldn't agree with you more.
It's difficult to walk in the forest, it's muggy, and there are so many bugs!
I couldn't agree with you more.
Hey, Lilia.
What?
Let's take a break.
We might be in for a long trip.
No, we have to keep on walking.
It has to be this way.
Lilia, do you remember?
Back when we were kids, we went mushroom hunting...
...and found ourselves lost in the woods.
Why are you telling me this now?
You insisted on leading the way, so I followed you on a wild-goose chase,
where we wound up lost.
Are you telling me that was my fault?
No, it's just that I should have stopped you.
So, I decided back then.
To state my opinion even if I have to face your wrath, Lilia.
Say, why do you think those people went as far as destroying the seaplane?
In order to take away our means of transportation.
So that they wouldn't be reported.
So, what are you going to do now?
There's nothing we can do.
There's no telling how many days it'll take,
but we have to walk and reach civilization.
Everything starts from there.
Very well, let's walk for as long as we have to.
Lilia, let's camp out around here and prepare for tomorrow.
Camp out? Absolutely out of the question!
That's what you say, but...
What's the meaning of this?
A mysterious shack.
The lights are off. There aren't any traces of people.
I can see that for myself.
Lilia!
Good timing. Let's stay in that place.
But what if someone's there?
If we explain our situation, the person will understand.
It's the other way around.
We'll drag that person into our affairs.
Right?
Then, we just have to keep quiet about it.
Excuse me at this late hour!
We are lost! Can you help us?
Excuse me?
Nobody's here.
Excuse us, but let us use this place tonight.
Um...
I know that you're well aware, but...
You know what I mean, right?
Huh? About what?
That is... tonight's an emergency.
Huh?
Otherwise, I wouldn't ever allow this!
Even Mama wouldn't...
Then again, she's quite different herself.
In any case, we have no other choice.
Since there's only one room.
Lilia, you can use the bed.
I'll keep watch.
In that case, fine.
It's already morning... I slept well.
Good morning.
M-Morning... huh?
I'm sorry.
Who are you?
I live here, young lady.
I'm sorry! Um, we got lost in the forest so we borrowed the house.
Without permission! I'm really sorry!
I knew that right away.
It's all right, there's no need to worry.
I keep the place unlocked so people who get lost can use it anytime.
Hey, wake up!
Geez, who's the one who said he'd keep watch?
If he was a bad man, we'd be dead long ago!
And I'd probably bear a grudge on you for not camping out, Lilia.
When you're already dead? How convenient.
That person seems like a nice man.
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Eyne Morceau.
I'm Lilia Schultz.
Treize.
Um... as for last night...
Think nothing of it. Anyway, please help yourself.
In that case, I'll be obliged. I'm starving.
Me too. Thanks for the food.
Um, do you live here, Mr. Morceau?
This house is the place where I think about things all by myself.
Think all by yourself?
Um, if you don't mind, tell us what kind of work you do.
Do you know about the poverty in this country?
About the many orphans?
I founded an orphanage in order to facilitate their independence.
Then, you're the Guru, Mr. Morceau?
I've been called that.
Um, did a child come to your institution on the day before yesterday?
That is, a child from Lartika.
Ah, you must be talking about Carlo.
A boy around ten years old, wearing a brown shirt and long black pants.
Yes, that's him!
If it's about Carlo, he was taken in by a police officer on the evening of the day before yesterday.
At first he seemed displeased, but he got along in no time.
In casual relationships like this, you're not supposed to tell each other's names.
I'm glad. So, he told his name.
By the way, what are you two going to do now?
We want to return to Lartika, where we left our belongings.
Since we have urgent business.
Urgent? Does it have to do anything with getting lost last night?
I cannot tell you anything further.
As it will only inconvenience you.
Why don't you?
You're being rude to the person who saved you.
My feelings haven't changed.
I don't want to drag someone into something he isn't involved in.
Everyone has a secret or two to keep.
However, this place is really in the middle of the woods...
A good eighty kilometers from Lartika.
Eighty kilometers?!
What are we going to do?
But, you two are lucky.
I'll lend you my car.
You can go to my orphanage with it.
There, you can board a plane bound for Lartika.
Plane?
It's not a routine flight, is it?
Right, the rich people from the capital...
...conduct a charity scenic flight for underprivileged children...
...to show them the beautiful landscape from above.
But, would we be able to go there and board it?
We don't even know if we can afford the fare.
Didn't I tell you it's for charity?
I will write a letter of recommendation.
Enjoy the flight with the children.
And once you reach Lartika...
I'll be praying for your success on whatever you have in mind.
Mr. Morceau, thank you very much.
Once we deal with our situation, we'll come back to return the favor!
Then, I'll see you at the institution.
It's definitely faster than walking.
You're pretty quiet.
If you're tired, you can go ahead and sleep.
It's not that I'm sleepy.
Oh, really?
Say, we've met many people in this country.
Eh? Yeah.
Both Carlo and Mateo were good people.
But, that pilot was a scumbag.
On the other hand, Mr. Morceau was a nice man.
Will the next person we meet be someone good?
Or someone bad?
Beats me. I wouldn't know.
Who were they?
I have no idea.
However, anyone who drives on this road must be his accomplice.
Have you ever ridden in that before?
Of course not.
But I'd like to fly something as big as that one day.
I'll pass on that thought.
Our feeling of relief was short lived.
To tell you the truth, a harsh fate was awaiting us...
Just when I thought we were going to return to Lartika safely.
There has to be some demon!
Huh, me?
Who else?
Yeah, yeah, it's all my fault—
It's not the time to be saying such things!
