Episode 9
Red and Blue
Bombs?!
Most likely, yes.
And it appears that there are several of them.
Princess Charlotte and Teppei are still inside Arima Hills, right?
Yes, Master.
We've injected DNA antivirus into the network in order to deal with the virus attack.
We've managed to eliminate most of the viruses,
but some of the viruses have mutated and are running amok within the system right now.
It's my fault.
Everything's become complicated again.
I'm confused as well.
Stop blaming yourself.
Without your help, we would still be trapped inside the Hills.
What are our options now?
We can only contact Teppei-sama via radio.
We've lost control of the surveillance network in the Hills.
How many bombs have you discovered so far?
We've found at least five of them.
If Arima Hills collapses,
we won't be able to censor the news.
No way! If the Hills explodes...
Turn back!
Calm down, Houjouin!
Even if you panic, it won't change anything.
Are you telling me to abandon them?!
I didn't say that!
Stop it, you two.
We should find a way out of this first.
Damn it, here too?
Teppei, I...
I don't know why, but I'm really happy we're holding hands.
Huh?
It's like we're on a date at the Hills.
Just like you promised.
Wait, Charlotte.
You know what kind of situation we're in?
There are bombs planted in the Hills, right?
You know that, and still...
It's all right.
You'll definitely do something.
Oh, boy.
Can you hear me, son of Arima Isshin?
How do you like the dinner we've prepared for your date?
You... what on earth are you doing?!
Why are you doing this to us?!
Why, you ask?
Because you're rich.
We merely wish to drag down those who are sitting on their laurels.
That's all.
Now then, enjoy your lovely night together.
Hey! Hey!
How is it?
It's no use.
Is there no other way?
There is one.
Really?
And what is it?
We can reformat all the data on the Arima Group's servers, including the ones at Arima Hills.
But if you do that...
Yes.
We'll get rid of the virus, but all of the Arima Group's data will be lost.
Yuu.
Master?
How long will it take to regain control over Hills after removing the virus?
Twenty minutes.
No, fifteen minutes.
Then do it.
Cut the electricity.
But, Master...
I don't mind.
It isn't essential to preserve Arima's data.
A backup of all the data is here...
and most definitely inside everyone who works for Arima.
Understood.
The bombs have been found.
It's a time bomb running off a countdown timer.
It's a wire dilemma type.
Twenty-five minutes and thirty seconds remaining.
Those red dots are the locations of the bombs?
Wire dilemma type bombs aren't hard to defuse.
It's just a race against time.
Please tell us the details.
I need fifteen minutes to cut the network's power and regain control,
which leaves us ten minutes to defuse the bombs.
If we dispatch the SP units near the art gallery and shopping mall, they should make it in time.
But they're too far away from the hotel floor and designer stores floor.
All right. I'll go to the hotel floor.
You'll make it if you go from the roof.
Sylvi!
Father, Charlotte is a precious childhood friend of mine.
And Teppei-dono is a good friend...
as well as... my fiancé.
Sylvi.
I'm going now.
Hey, wait!
I'm not going to let you get all the credit.
I'm going too.
This is where the last bomb is.
There are no SP units in the vicinity.
After we've regained control, we won't have time to reach it.
Teppei-sama.
I heard everything.
I deeply regret putting you through all of this.
Please defuse the last bomb on the designer shops floor.
I got it.
I'll do as you say.
Teppei-sama...
Reformat it.
Commencing reformat.
Ah, they've left us behind.
Where are we?
Idiots! Hurry up and regroup!
Yes, sir...
Sorry.
Ah, it's Arima Teppei.
And the perverted princess!
Are you the two from earlier?
You know them?
No, they're the bad guys.
But they're actually good people.
Which is it?
A good-looking swordsman holding hands with a damsel in distress?
Situations like this would never happen in real life!
Unforgivable!
Stop! Please, leave us alone.
So cute!
I want to dress her up!
Something domestic, like an apron.
Yeah, that's great.
I prefer her wearing a traditional Japanese apron, though.
I grew up with chopsticks after all.
Dude, you're delusional.
In that case, we should go with naked apron!
Aha...
Enough with your fantasies!
Sorry!
Bye-bye!
Damn it...
Attacking while we're talking...
But...
I hope we meet her again.
Damn! This door is locked too!
The shutter is down.
Teppei-sama, if you take a detour, you won't make it in time.
Please try breaking through somehow.
Break through?
There's no other way.
Charlotte, step back.
Okay.
Teppei!
What the hell? It didn't even budge.
It's built to withstand earthquakes up to a magnitude of seven.
And I'm supposed to do something about this?
Yes.
Even if you tell me that...
I'll have to try this.
I've been waiting for that!
I'm so excited!
Why are you so happy about this?
But that's a wooden sword, right?
Yeah.
Can you cut through it?
You won't know until you try!
How do you like that?!
Charlotte!
Sorry, Charlotte! I'm so sorry!
Are you okay? You hurt?
Are you all right, Charlotte?
Sorry!
Hey... would you mind talking for a moment?
Aren't we doing that already?
Well, yeah.
And?
You just said that Teppei is your fiancé...
Didn't we agree on not "stealing"?
You're violating the Hot Springs Pact.
I'm not sure of my feelings myself.
I loved my mother.
How is that related to this?
My feelings are the same as how I felt back then.
When she died, I didn't cry.
I was so sad, yet I couldn't cry.
But deep within my heart, I've been calling her name.
Are you saying you love Teppei as much as your mother?
I don't want to experience the same pain again.
I was still a kid and couldn't do anything back then.
But now, I can do something.
In other words, you love him.
I like Teppei too.
He's pisses me off, and he sucks at pretty much everything.
But before I knew it, I was in love with him.
I'm jealous you're able to talk about your feelings so easily.
Well, I'm jealous of you and Charlotte for being aristocrats too.
But it must be hard not to be able to simply say that you like someone.
Perhaps.
Go, go, Teppei!
Yay! Yay!
Charlotte, help me a bit, will you?
Okay!
C-Charlotte... where did you find that?
In the Danhel specialty store.
There's such a brand?!
Hey, wait for me!
Sorry
Please contact Arima Teppei
for remuneration
Charlotte
Hartmann was Princess Charlotte's fiancé, wasn't he?
That's right.
Should we tell the King of Hazelrink about this?
Of course we have to report it.
But before that, we must tell the princess first, since we witnessed it.
Lady Sylvi and Princess Charlotte share very strong bonds, being childhood friends.
So it is...
Even if you live righteously, certain people will still hate you.
It's deplorable.
There is no heart that can truly survive the cruelty of this world.
Yes.
We've eliminated the virus.
Restoring power to Arima Hills.
Ten minutes remaining until detonation.
All right! My group's conquered every TV channel!
That's a pretty good start.
Talk about your girls later!
I told you to stop calling them girls!
Yeah, yeah.
We have complete access over Hills now.
Wait! You're going too fast.
We're there.
Teppei-sama, go straight ahead.
The bomb is right around the corner.
Okay. Let's go, Charlotte!
Yeah.
Art gallery here. Bomb has been defused.
Shopping mall, bomb has been defused.
Found it.
Hey, there are only two minutes left!
We found the bomb. Tell us what to do!
First, open the case.
This is what you call a wire dilemma bomb.
Wire dilemma?
Aren't you afraid?
We've already come this far. Asking that is pointless now.
I have a very bad feeling about this.
There should be three wires.
Do not cut the yellow wire. It's a trap.
It's either blue or red.
You won't know which is the right one until you cut it.
I knew it!
Why tell us now...
I see. So that's why it's called a wire dilemma.
Hold this, please.
Thanks.
W-Wait! Why are you making me hold it?!
Just hold it.
I'll think about which wire to cut.
Think? How?
Why are you looking away?!
Stop your whining.
Let me concentrate.
The blue one!
Let's go with the blue one.
Just like for traffic lights.
You must be Arima Teppei.
My next shot won't miss.
Didn't you run away with your comrades?
I've received word from them already...
that you were together with the Princess.
I've heard about you.
You became the heir of the conglomerate overnight.
Holding a wooden sword, you rushed to rescue the Princess.
Such a heart-warming story.
Then why are you pointing a gun at us?
It's because you're an eyesore!
Anyone more outstanding, more loved, and more respected than I am is an eyesore.
The boss told me not to harm you,
but now that you stand in front of me, I cannot help myself.
My next shot is going to hit you.
Using a gun on me...
What do you expect to do with that broken wooden sword?
You cannot win against a gun with that.
Charlotte, take cover.
Teppei.
I'll definitely be fine.
Okay.
Damn it!
I don't need a wooden sword.
If you want to express yourself like a man, fight me with your fists!
Sorry.
I blurted out all of my thoughts and went overboard there for a second.
Let's go.
We have to save everyone.
No! We're running out of time!
It's hopeless!
I can't take it anymore!
Which one did you cut?
Red.
It's not stopping!
I told you to cut the blue one!
I-It stopped.
Just as I thought.
As you thought? How can you tell?
It was my lucky color today.
You just guessed it?!
It wasn't a guess.
Coincidentally, I'm wearing red underwear today.
I see...
There's ten seconds remaining?!
Crap!
Teppei!
To the dust chute!
We're saved.
Teppei-sama?
I threw it in the dust chute...
That was a wise decision.
The dust chute of Arima Hills is built from materials that can withstand earthquakes up to a magnitude of seven.
What the hell...
Teppei!
You're amazing!
That's my Teppei!
Charlotte, this is the men's restroom.
You did well.
It's all thanks to you.
I'm unworthy of your praise.
Most of the crucial work was done by Sylvi-sama, Houjouin-sama,
Teppei-sama, and Charlotte-sama,
As well as the entire Arima SP Team.
Everyone, you did an excellent job.
Thank you.
I, Arima Isshin, would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Everything is fine now.
Let us now rest.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad you're all safe.
Yeah, we made it somehow.
Thank goodness! I'm so relieved!
I'm so relieved!
Charlotte.
Please calm down and listen to me.
What is it?
Hartmann...
has apparently been killed.
Hey... you didn't have to tell her now.
He tried to save Isshin-sama and my father.
I see.
He tried to save Isshin-sama and your father.
Yeah.
I'm glad to hear that...
Honestly, I couldn't fall in love with him.
But since I was going to marry him, I've been trying hard all this time to fall in love with him.
The fact that he tried to save your father and Isshin-sama in the end...
makes me happy.
I've finally fallen in love with him.
Charlotte-sama.
I came upon hearing the details from Arima-sama.
Please get in.
Let's go back to the mansion.
Where's Jiiya?
We didn't tell Alfred-sama about anything tonight.
We wouldn't want to worry him.
I see.
Thank you.
See you tomorrow at school, then.
Yeah.
Good night.
Take care.
Teppei, thank you very much.
She finally fell in love with him after he died...
That's kind of sad, isn't it?
You could tell that she forced herself to say that.
She isn't the type of person who could hate anyone.

Question!
You said that the shutters and dust chutes in Arima Hills can withstand even a magnitude seven earthquake,
but what would happen if the building explodes?
There would only be shutters and dust chutes.
Next time, on Princess Lover!
Loss and Rebirth.

Afterwards, there'll be a shop serving hashed meat with rice.
