I've been in contact with Toshu.
The resistance troops will be able to make it to the target on time.
I see. Would you take over from here?
Be careful, Arc.
I will be back soon. Please take care of her.
Yes.
He's all right. For sure...
Our target is the deep-sea oil field.
However, even though it's called an oil field,
the real thing is this fortress with huge mind-control equipment.
Our target is to sneak into the fortress
and destroy the mind- control equipment.
The risks are many.
However, if we succeed,
we can release those living on the north shore from their control.
Silver Noah is supposed to join us in support.
But we're the ones who will take the lead on this mission.
Be prepared!
Are you sure that he's really okay?
Who knows?
What do you mean, "who knows"?
Elk is a mature Hunter now,
so it isn't my place to say.
That's what I hate about Hunters.
But remember, even though you're cooperating with us,
you don't get any money.
I won't take money from a man with a bounty.
If I wanted money, I'd take your head.
Oh, hell! This piece of junk is out of order again.
Where?
Number three hallway.
I'll go check on it.
What's the matter?!
What are you doing? Hurry up and come on!
How long to shift change?
Thirty more minutes.
I'll set it for 2300 as scheduled.
Good!
Shoot it!
Hurry up!
Stand up! Let's go!
Where is Elk?
Not here yet.
Two minutes left until the explosion.
If we stay here, all of us will be caught by the explosion.
Okay, go!
Roger!
It's the Silver Noah!
Elk, you idiot...
Elk!
It's Elk!
Elk!
Grab on!
Can't you see Smeria yet?
Not yet. How is Elk?
He probably calmed down while he was wandering around,
but it seems he can't use his flame power.
Can't you do anything about that?
Well, he'll have to figure that out himself.
Arc, what is that ship?
That's the ship of the special diplomat from Mirumana, isn't it?
They contacted me, and would like to sign a treaty of friendship.
Well, then we'll have a welcoming ceremony tonight?
Good! I'll get to drink as much as I want.
Are you going to attend?
You'll probably get to hear Quote's stories about his hardships.
To hell with that.
It would make my liquor taste bad.
Welcome, Ambassador.
I am very happy to be able to step on the ground of Smeria safely.
I really hope that my stay in this country will be fruitful.
Elk, hurry up and go see Lieza right now.
Well, why don't you show her that you're a man, Elk?
What did he mean by 'a man'?
Here, say aaah.
More!
There, there.
Hi, Elk! Welcome back. You were quick.
Lieza, I need to talk to you.
I'm busy now. I'm doing something.
It's okay. I'll take care of the kids.
No, thank you. I will do this.
Wait for me at the plaza tonight.
I have something to give you.
I understand.
Lieza?
Since the day when we were released from nightmarish oppression,
I have been looking forward to this day.
Today, we welcome the ambassador from our neighbor Mirumana.
This is not only the first step for Smeria
in being recognized by the world,
but also we have been able to gain a friend in Mirumana.
These together are priceless joys.
Hey, why don't you drink with me?
No, we're on duty.
Don't be so rigid!
Mr. Quote would punish us.
Damn, that old man is so particular.
How red the moon is tonight!
Mr. Clive, the arrangements have been completed.
We will execute the mission as planned.
Now, to the prosperity of both Smeria and Mirumana!
Is something wrong, Ambassador?
It's a Chimera!
The maiden of the spirits now belongs to us.
You will die here!
The liquor really gets to you when you drink alone.
Kukuru!
Here.
My spear?
Elk...
Are you going to keep fighting?
Are you going to continue to fight and hurt yourself,
without being able to soothe your grief?
Lieza!
That's too sad!
Did we get them all?
Kukuru!
Arc!
You're late.
You look like you had some trouble over there too.
I'm glad you're safe.
We just cleared out the banquet hall.
They planned to split us up, didn't they?
But if that's true...
Lieza! Where is Lieza?
I can't heal your pain. I don't know what I should do.
If I've become a burden for you, Elk,
then I would rather live by myself.
Lieza!
I'm sorry to have worried you.
But I'm back now. I came back to you, Lieza.
As you said, I can't forget the sadness or pain,
but I have something else too.
Lieza, Shu, and many other people,
I met them and I had lots of fun and happiness too.
That's why I've decided to fight,
in order to protect everybody from more sadness.
And to protect you, Lieza.
Elk!
It seems I've come at a bad time.
You're Galuano's...
It's been a long time,
but I don't have time to play with you.
I've come for you, Lieza.
What do you want from Lieza? Who the hell are you?!
If I knew this from the beginning,
I wouldn't have wasted all this time,
but even though this is unexpected,
now I can proceed with my plan smoothly.
Lieza, run!
Right!
It's useless.
Thanks a lot. I have Lieza now.
Excuse me, but I have to go.
Please amuse yourself with the Chimera for a while.
Power, I wish I had power.
The power to protect Lieza!
Spirit of Flame, please!
Just once, please, give me the power! Power!
Art thou the hero? The time of silence hath ended.
I shall bless thee with the spirit of flame once again.
Flame, sweep through everything!
Not too shabby!
You are indeed a person who can hear the voice of the spirits.
However, it's too late.
Wait!
Lieza!
I don't know since when, but I've had lots of friends.
We sometimes fight, or laugh, or cry together.
We can think about something without saying all the details,
and even if we're apart, we feel as if we're together always.
I don't know since when, but I've lost lots of friends.
I've been losing them slowly, just like the wind at the riverside,
Slowly...
So we can do everything
And we can do the right thing
Aoi hana ga yurete ta
Gogatsu no ame ni sotto nurete yurete ita no
Mo inai nante, mo inai nante
Aenai nante iwanai de
Ai no subete uketomete ima o iki tai wa
Inorou shiawase o inorou shiawase o
Thanks a lot.
I did all sorts of things, and now, I'm trundling along.
But it's all right. I am alive.
