The Jinx Program is going well.
The results of our Thanatos suppression are steadily going well everywhere.
Production is also going according to plan.
Director Yorgo, are you worried about something?
This project doesn't have a single percent of failure.
I expect a lot from you from now on... Erenfried.
Yes sir!
It's quickly taking longer to suppress them...
The Rondo of Time
Mr. Nyx!
Good morning!
Oh, Angelique.
Good morning to you, too.
What are you doing?
I'm maintaining a flower bed.
I was thinking of sowing some flower seeds.
A flower bed?
It doesn't look like a flower bed at all, huh?
No... I didn't mean it that way...
It's all right.
Actually, I've tried planting a few times before...
But they've always withered before the flowers bloomed.
I wonder why?
Beats me...
It's as if these hands snatch away the life of the flowers.
I'll help too!
I'm sure the flowers will answer to your feelings someday!
As long as there's your smile...
I don't need to worry about sowing these flower seeds.
You like flowers, don't you?
Like?
Indeed...
Perhaps I admire them...
Admire?
Yes. They live with such boldness...
that they give warmth and hope to those who look at them.
Don't you think they lead such a precious and sublime existence?
Yes!
It's no use...
There's nothing left...
Was this...
done by Jinx?
Yeah. It's such a terrible thing.
You mustn't say such a thing.
It saved all our lives after all...
Why'd it end up like this?
The Jinx had quite a hard fight.
A hard fight?
The Foundation came here as soon as the Thanatos appeared, but...
It seemed like their attacks didn't have much effect on the Thanatos.
When they somehow managed to defeat them, it ended up like this.
They were hit by the attacks, but they weren't defeated right away?
That's what happened, right?
Yeah...
When we first saw the Jinx...
It vanquished the Thanatos in an instant.
What's going on here?
What happened here?
I kept telling you, right? I won't answer to interviews.
The Jinx never did this much damage before!
Didn't the Jinx have a hard fight?
You love this village, don't you?
If you love it, why don't you let the whole world hear your protest?
It's because I love it...
that I won't say anything.
What on earth happened?
Bernard!
I found out why!
What!?
It's a really sad tip...
Don't be surprised.
In this village, the Jinx was destroyed by the Thanatos!
It was destroyed!?
Did you hear that from the residents?
I had a hard time since they were told to keep quiet about it.
It seems the Foundation promised to rebuild the village if they kept silent.
The Thanatos weren't affected by the Jinx's attacks.
And it kept attacking till it was destroyed and the village burned down.
What happened to the Thanatos?
Looks like they were defeated by dispatched Silver Wood Knights.
The Jinx have a hard time fighting lately.
And it finally lost here.
What do you think of this?
Don't you think something unexpected is happening here?
Mr. Nyx really seems to be down somehow.
Ervin, I wonder if Mr. Nyx will be pleased?
This tune...
I've been unable to suppress the desire...
Angelique!
U-Um... I'm sorry!
I just waltzed in...
I made some tea! Would you like some?
My... Thank you.
Seems like you've seen me in such an ugly state.
Not at all!
Here you go!
Thank you very much.
Here...
The mailman came earlier to give you this.
It's a lovely envelope, isn't it?
It's an invitation to a ball.
A ball?
Yes.
I have no intention of attending, however...
Mr. Nyx really seems to be down.
Maybe if he takes a change of mood...!
Mr. Nyx, would you like to take me to the ball?
I want to go for once!
If I come with you, who is so radiant,
the great noise and beautiful melodies in the ball will surely sparkle.
Let's go together, Mademoiselle.
Yes.
What is it, Rayne?
Did you bring more improvements for the Jinx?
Don't joke around!
So what do you need?
Review the Jinx Project right now!
To think you'd say that...
I'm sure you know by now, right!?
I've already investigated with my own eyes!
The Jinx started having hard fights already!
Do you know why!?
It's because the Thanatos are more resistant to the Jinx's attacks!
Even if there's a cure, before long an illness will begin to resist it.
It's the same thing as this!
Even so, there should be no problem.
When more powerful Thanatos appear, we make more Jinx to deal with them.
Is that what Erenfried thinks?
There's no assurance that you'll win, right!?
Rayne.
Return to the Foundation.
If you'll manage it, I'll review the project.
I want skilled people on hand.
Or else you have no right to say anything.
Director Yorgo...
Even though I'm here...
Even though... I'm here...!
Now, shall we go, Mademoiselle?
What's wrong?
Ah, it's nothing...
It seems like I'm in the wrong place, somehow...
Please raise your head, Angelique.
To me, you shine the brightest of all.
Mr. Nyx!
This way.
I've prepared magic to take away your anxiety.
Ah, it's Lord Nyx!
Lord Nyx!?
It's my first time to wear such a lovely dress!
Thank you very much, Mr. Nyx!
It suits you a lot.
Lord Nyx!
Oh... I've always been looking forward to when I'll meet you again!
It can't be helped!
It's because Lord Nyx is a busy person being a school director and an Aube Hunter.
It's an honor to meet you tonight.
Oh, Mr. Nyx!
It's been a while!
Lord Nyx!
He's got a lot of acquaintances, huh?
Oh!
He seems to be troubled...
News on your activities have also reached me.
No, I'm not doing anything great...
Mr. Nyx!
It's about time...
What do you want?
Who might you be?
What on earth...
do you have to do with Lord Nyx!?
Uh... Um...
M-Mr. Nyx!?
Pardon me. I've kept my fiancée waiting.
Impossible!
Lord Nyx!?
Well, then...
I'm sorry.
I've involved you with a falsehood.
It's okay...
However, if you truly were my fiancée, I'd be extremely happy.
Is something wrong?
It's 'cause I invited you here forcibly...
I'm sorry... I've caused trouble for you...
It is I who should be apologizing.
I've... left you alone.
Not at all...
Now- let's enjoy the party.
Yes!
Ah, you both are like two peas in a pod... it's like time rewound itself.
Ah, I'm sorry.
I'm an old friend of your grandfather.
I heard you were coming, so I thought of meeting you.
Is... that so?
How do you do?
It's an honor to meet you.
Looking at you reminds me of the piano he played 50 years ago.
It was a melancholy tune that struck my heart.
My doctor was against my coming, but I'm glad I came here tonight.
I've met my old friend once more.
My grandfather would be glad if he heard that, Monsieur.
Now, since you have such a beautiful lady with you, why not take the floor?
Yes.
Mr. Nyx...
Why...?
Why are you looking with such distant eyes?
Everyone, please calm down!
You're... the Queen's Egg!
Please guide everyone!
Got it!
Disrupting the ball will make all the ladies hate you.
Now, let's dance...
This rondo called "battle"!
Are you all right!?
Auguste!
Please get a hold of yourself!
Mr. Nyx!
What?
Angelique!
Mr. Auguste!
Please hang on!
So you're going away...
Yes.
Are you really never going to return?
I won't forget you, Auguste.
Till the day we meet again...
Thank goodness...
How are you feeling?
So you've come back...
That can't be, huh?
I saw a dream in this pleasant radiance...
Angelique, are you all right?
Please don't overtax yourself...
I'm all right.
I must do what I can.
Angelique...
Do you realize it?
How bright your shining appearance...
is to me?
A Thanatos in the ball!?
It even appeared there?
What's important is you're safe, Lady Angelique.
It was a long-awaited party too...
It's okay!
But I sure wanted to see Ange in a dress.
You must've been really cute!
Well, it's kinda suspicious you were able to dance with Nyx.
Jeez!
What's this about me?
Mr. Nyx!
Thanks for today!
I failed to return it to you...
It fell in the hall.
It fell when I was attacked by the Thanatos, right?
Excuse me...
It is I who should be thanking you, Angelique.
Jeez, he's such a creepy guy.
But I'm sure Nyx had fun.
But today, Mr. Nyx was...
Auguste!
So you've come back...
Kind of...
strange...
Angelique-
You are extremely sacred.
You're an irreplaceable flower.
But I am...
All units advance!
I predict a large number of Thanatos will appear here soon.
Jet, you understand, right?
You have received no orders.
I don't care.
I'm the one giving you the orders.
I'll show Director Yorgo...
that I'm far superior to Professor Rayne!
Thanatos emerging in 5 seconds.
Initiating attack mode.
Commencing attack.
All units, commence attack!
What!?
Jinx damage rate: 23%.
49%...
82%.
It is impossible to carry out your plan at the moment.
Estimate total loss in 8 seconds.
Shut up!
Just do it!
Understood.
Why?
My Jinx should've been perfect!
Next
I wonder if Mr. Erenfried is all right?
No problem. I recovered his glasses.
Just his glasses?
Yes. These glasses are my master.
That's amazing!
Dark Clouds
Next, Dark Clouds.
There's such a secret to these glasses...
There isn't.
