You've made it through five days of intense training!
Be proud of yourselves. You are powerful indeed!
And as a small gesture of recognition
for both your growth and the end of camp,
I'd like to welcome you all to our after-party.
Now, go enjoy yourselves!
Cheers!
Are you all right, Ash?
Yeah, I'm fine.
That healing magic really did the trick.
I bet they saw right through that one.
Still...
Gawain is...
Gawain is gone?
But where could he be?
I don't know.
With our astral flow interrupted...
The Willingham Mausoleum.
Have you heard the old story about the Willingham Mausoleum?
Well, I've heard of it.
It's about the young Maestro Nuada and the girl who was his master.
Pained at seeing his master suffering from a grave illness,
Nuada closed off their astral flow and vanished.
He didn't want her to see him waste away and perish.
At long last, the girl recovered...
but only after Nuada had quietly expired,
inside the Willingham Mausoleum, all alone.
Gawain couldn't be trying to pull a Nuada, could he?
It's possible.
The mausoleum is a resting place for young dragons,
and Gawain is still a juvenile.
All right. We'll call off the celebration and organize a search party.
If we scour the area around the Willingham Mausoleum...
Wait.
Camp was pretty grueling, wasn't it?
Everyone's been looking forward to this party.
Okay. Then just the Student Council members.
No, that won't work either.
If the whole Student Council is absent,
everyone will know something's up.
So much for the celebration.
Then...
It's all right.
I'll handle this.
And you can bet I'll find you...
Gawain!
The princess approaches.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Come forth, promised child of magica-technica!
sekai no domannaka de kimi to deatte
Meeting you smack in the middle of the world
kokyuu mo dekinai kurai ni natte
Leaves me breathless

The “something" between you and me

Starts with small heartbeats

Now teach me about the sky one more time

Only birds know how heavy their flapping wings are
minna wa nani mo shirazu ni akogareteru
Everyone longs for wings without knowing it
kimi wa chotto setsunai kao de waratta
You smiled with a slightly sorrowful look
boku ni wa ne nani mo nai
I... I have nothing
demo kimi no namida ga hette
But if it makes you shed less tears
honki no kao de warau nara
And smile like you mean it
hero datte donnan datte
Then be it a hero or anything else
narikitte yaru kara sa
I'll become whatever you ask of me

I'll never, never, never, never let go

Even if I die, I'll be your knight

As long as I can protect you all the way
Dragon Dance
So Gawain's in there?
Hard to say.
But we've received intel that Professor Angela is holed up inside.
What's she doing here?
What is it?!
Look!
This sense of foreboding... is just like before.
I'm sure of it!
Look at that!
What are they?
They're in the lake too!
And in the forest.
That's...
Stop!
This is highly indecent!
No!
Princess!
Princess! Are you all right?
Yeah...
What about me, Ash? I was pretty scared, you know!
Necromancia, at the training camp!
All we can do is trust the camp director.
Saddle up. We're storming the mausoleum!
Troops, get in formation!
Time to show off the fruits of your training!
Here we go.
Commence counterattack!
They just keep coming. It's endless!
Eco?
Bring out my Arch.
I can't help anyone like this.
Wh-What are you, stupid?
Even a fake suit of Arch would put too much strain on someone as injured as you are!
You're just going to have to grin and bear it!
Couldn't you make me something lighter?
What?
I bet you can make me exactly the Arch I need now.
Wh-Why are you so confident?
Isn't it obvious?
Because I have you for a Pal.
Oh, all right.
But while I'm at the Workshop, my spirit will be far from my body.
I know. I'll keep your body safe.
How's this?
M-Make sure you hold me up properly, or else...
Gawain.
What is it, Lancelot?
We meet again,
boy.
Milgauss!
Now hear this, Milgauss!
In the name of the knight family of Lautreamont,
I will rain divine retribution down on you!
What's so funny?!
Just think. It was not one of the greatest warriors alive,
Veronica Lautreamont,
but you, so cowardly and needy,
who made a pact with a dragon in the Orphan's Rite.
What?
My, how you've grown...
Silvie.
Hey! There you are!
C'mon, brother! Why are you always talking with Glen?
You mean someone in that knightly family...
would commit the greatest taboo?
Killing a dragon... the Dragonslayer...
Prince Julius!
Lancelot has a lot of fight in him, I see.
Or are you using some kind of esoteric trick again, boy?
What?!
Although the Imperial Princess of Avalon can't do much in that state.
Avalon... What do you know about that?
This Necromancia here is no mere juvenile.
He lived as a Maestro.
You Knight Country people are familiar with it, I believe.
The sad tale of the dragon who loved his master so much that he chose death.
That's right. His name was Nuada,
the sacred dragon of Willingham.
Seikoku no Dragonar
I see.
You want to make some Arch, but you don't have time,
so you want to sample my work...
and remix it.
Yep. Much as I'm loathe to admit it, you do seem to know more than me.
Of course. You and I are two sides of the same coin.
I don't mind helping. However...
You must promise me one thing.
What?
That one day, you'll present the finest original Arch...
to Ash Blake.
Wha...
Y-You mean...
Yes. For dragonkind, it's like saying,
"I offer myself to you, body and soul."
B-But I...
You can't?
Fine. I promise.
Almete, gorjal, peto, espaldar, brafonera, falda...
What is it?
He's got himself into a pretty sticky situation.
Can you hurry it up?
I suppose I'd better.
Wha...
S-Stay away! S-Stop it!
Please!
Stop it!
Not there!
H-How dare you!
I'm a daughter of the Valentine fami— No!
S-Stop right there!
Not even Sir Ash has gone that far!
Thank you for saving me, Rhiannon!
They're not letting up.
We've got to break through somehow.
There's more?
Princess!
Stay your hand! I will pacify Nuada's spirit!
No! Don't touch me there!
Stop! No!
No!
Lucca!
Eco!
Eco...
Eco!
Wh-What the...
What's going on here?
Eco.
Honestly! What would you do without me?
Espolazo!
Is this... Arch light?
That's the daughter of Avalon for you.
Are you sure you don't want to take on Nuada?
The princess said to stay out of it.
Calm yourself...
Nuada!
So you're not the real thing after all.
Ash!
That Arch is made for defense, so lay off the kicking and punching!
Hurry up and make with the magic!
Got it!
Manifest now, O ye impregnable shield.
It's name: Aegis!
Go!
Petrification magic!
I was sure that had been outlawed in Knight Country.
Well?
Come on now, boy.
Then I guess I'll have to come to you!
Milgauss!
Ash Blake!
Stop right there!
Nuada's spirit has returned to the heavens!
Accept your fate!
Surprised?
The left one was false.
It seems I must revise my opinion of the fourth princess.
Wait!
Look at them all.
Lancelot!
Dammit.
We're in no position to go help them either.
Lucca?
Lancelot and Silvia...
and you and Eco.
You all fought so hard.
Who alone among us hasn't? Who?
Ash!
Lucca?!
You risked your life for Gawain and me.
When I'm with you, I feel like I can give it my all.
I want to help them.
No, I will help them.
You can do it. I'm with you.
I'm sorry, Gawain.
I won't be afraid of you anymore.
So please, take me back, Gawain.
Here, Gawain, have some.
Tap into my astral flow.
Drink me in.
After all...
you are...
my Pal!
Caring for the injured is our top priority!
We need tight coordination. Don't rush out into the fray!
There are just too many of them.
I think we might be done for.
Wh-What's that?!
Not another Necromancia!
No, not this one.
That's...
Lucca!
Grab on tight so you won't get flung off.
He's so fast!
You can do it, Lucca. I'm with you.
Dragon Dance, First Movement.
Cleansing Amrita!
The Necromancia...
They're fading away!
Lucca.
Lucca!
You finally pulled it off, Lucca.
Since ancient times, the Ecbladian Dragonars...
have been known as "elfin dancers,"
and now Lucca has shown us why.
I see.
But now we know the extent of their military power.
As a result of this single incident, we alone have the technique for calling Necromancia back.
So it's not a total loss, then.
I will crush them both:
Lautreamont Knight Country and the Chevron Kingdom.
My ambition demands it.
Just wait until the continental congress.
Cheers!
Congratulations on leaving the hospital, Ash!
Thanks.
All Student Council members are safe and sound,
and Professor Angela was found in the mausoleum, unhurt.
So all's well that ends well.
Express delivery!
First-rank postal courier Orletta Blanc here!
I bring a missive for Her Highness Princess Silvia from the Paladin!
From Father? For me?
What does it say?
He wants me to attend Elysion, the continental congress.
He does?
And... he'd like to meet you and Eco. I'm to bring you with me.
You are?
Can you feel the intensity?

Next Time
You've blossomed into a fine pervert, Ash.
I'd be proud to take you anywhere.
A fine pervert? Don't you start with this, too, Navi!
Don't you like it?
I sure don't.
It's all right.
What is?
It's all right!

Assembly in Fontaine
What is?
I'm sure Sir Ash can satisfy any girl around.
Hey, now!
