Gawain, why are you rejecting Lucca?
Please let me hear your feelings!
Above you, Ash!
Ash!
Ash! Ash!
Moonlit Roar
I‘m sorry.
I failed.
No, more importantly you weren't hurt.
Still, such extreme resistance...
It's absolutely impossible to try talking to him.
If we only knew the reason why Gawain is rejecting Lucca...
The upcoming training camp would have been a good chance
for the two of them to reconnect, but...
In this state, Lucca herself might not attend.
Rebecca-san?
May I have permission to enter Meabh House?
I'd like to speak with Lucca one more time.
What? Wai- What are you thinking about?!
All right. I give you permission.
Huh?
But take Eco with you.
It's unseemly for a man to be alone in the women's dorm.
Thank you so much!
Now wait just a minute! I never said anything about coming along!
Gawain.
Ash Blake from Student Council. May I enter?
It's only tea, but...
I wasn't able to get Gawain to tell me how he felt.
l‘m sorry.
Ah, I see.
U-Um... you're going to camp, right?
They say the nearby Nag Woods has been a kind of dragon health resort for ages.
If you go there, I bet Gawain would get better in no time.
And they say a change of scenery can change the mood as well.
I'd like you to face Gawain one more time.
pal and breeder, it's like...
It's... something irreplaceable.
It's like your destiny.
And that's why...
Argh! Get off the fence already!
Eco!
You're stupid, silly, dummy humans so
all your worrying is pointless!
Hey! Cut that out!
How dare my pet dog speak to me in such a tone!
I'll crush you, you'll take it, and you'll like it!
What are you going on about?! This is going way off track!
I'll go.
Huh?
I'll go to the training camp.
Milgauss-sama!
It's good to see you again. When did you return?
Just recently.
I see you've infiltrated the Academy.
Yes, to research Ash Blake and his pal Eco.
I'll be accompanying them to their electors training camp on kitchen duty.
Electors training camp?
I see. Willingham Mausoleum is on the shores of Lake Allonnes, right?
Yes?
The Mausoleum with the ashes of dragons who died young.
Though young, they do not lack in material for experiments.
We'll meet up there.
Until then don't leave their side.
Yes, sir.
So you have been born, descendant of Avalon...
But Eco?
Quite an ironic name your master has given you.
Still...
No matter what name you're given, it's far better than being killed.
Don't you agree?
Julius?
Now to set out for training camp at Lake Allonnes!
Take off!
I hear Gawain has gone ahead. Don't worry.
He's a smart one. I'm sure he'll go straight for the "Resort".
Yes!.
Don't even think about riding my Arianrhod.
I know. Look, I'm not even touching Arianrhod, see?
Don't cling so tightly!
S-Sorry!
Now, Fly!
Lancelot, we're going to be the first to Lake Allonnes!
Hey! Don‘t order around!
And Lancelot, don't you listen to her!
He respects me! Isn't he a good dragon.
Isn't that right, Lancelot?
First Ash and now Eco... I barely even know what's going on anymore.
W-What are you doing, Eco?
Wow! They're so big, and soft!
Nice and bouncy!
H-Hey, now, cut that out!
That bastard Ash... He looks at yours and Rebecca's though he doesn't seem to care about mine at all!
It ticks me off!
A-Ash looks at my...
There must be some male-bewitching magic involved!
It's high time I get to the bottom of this!
N-No, just s-stop that!
T-That's' enough Eco...
Now, then...
Training Camp is about to begin.
The experience from next few days will have a huge impact on your futures.
All of the Sacred Dragonars of Lautreamont completed their training here with best grades.
If you wish to be among their ranks,
I want to see your fighting spirit as you aim for the top.
Everyone's so serious.
You should rest today in preparation for tomorrow's training.
That's what I wanted to say... but since we're here...
I suppose I could permit a little splashing around.
Take that!
Huh? Sensei, Where are you going?
It's-a-secret!
Jessica-san?!
Come now, Ash-sama, let's go!
G-Go? Where to?
On our honeymoon, of course!
Hey, Cassette...
You don't really mean for me to...
But of course. You'll have all eyes on you for certain.
Well, I don't actually want...
For certain.
No, it's just that...
If you continue to be unreasonable,
I'm afraid I shall have to change you into it by force.
W-Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
This must be heaven!
Seeing the student council prez in her swimsuit?
Now I can die!
Look! Here comes the princess!
D-Don't you think there's just too little fabric, after all?
I can't relax with the breeze going through my skin like this!
Not to worry. I'm sure Ash-sama will be very pleased.
W-Why would you bring him up?
Please, stop!
This isn't half what my pal Rhiannon is capable of!
Lancelot... and Eco?!
I'm borrowing your pal!
W-Wait! Why?
I want to stop Jessica!
Because, I'm Ash's master!
T-That's not what I meant!
What are you going to do?
Are you going to cooperate with me? Or not?
I'm also going!
That's the spirit!
Hey! Wait!
Jessica!
Help me!
Dragonar Academy
Ooh, my aching body...
Because of the horsing around this afternoon.
Lucca?
Whoa, all that mud! I'm sure it was this way...
Gawain...
Hey... Won't you talk to me?
I was so happy when you became a Maestro.
I wanted us to be together forever and ever...
So please,
one more time, like it used to be...
Why...?
Why? Why won't you say anything?
Why are you here?
You know, I'm a little ticked off.
We keep trying to talk to him, but he just keep brushing us off.
Isn't that right, Gawain?
Stop! You can't...
That's why...
I'm going to have to force those feelings out of you!
Without Arch, if I get hit even once...!
Over here, Gawain!
Stop... Stop already!
All right! And now...
Reflection type... defense magic?
Has he considered my ability for an attack?
N-No!
If I leave him like that, he'll die.
Punishment for getting in Master Milgauss‘ way.
W-What do I do?
Don't touch him!
His life is in danger!
Leave this to me. You call someone!
And you are...?
Just go! Hurry!
Oh, okay!
Now we're even.
W-Where am I?!
Hello, sleepyhead.
N-Navi?!
This is Highdragon Workshop,
A special place that only the spirit may enter .
I summoned you here to tell you how he feels.
What? Who is this?
Gawain.
This thing?!
He may be a Maestro, but his emotions are still immature.
Hence this form.
He's apologizing to you.
He says his back belongs only to his master, Lucca, so he got serious.
I get it...
That's not all.
Three months ago.
Lucca Saarinen was riding Gawain and fell off his back.
Fell off? Three months ago now?
Have you heard of the Dragon Dance?
No.
It's a secret Ecbladian art passed down through generations.
Mastery requires natural talent and unflagging effort.
While practicing that... there was an accident.
She's had an unconscious fear of riding her dragon ever since .
In that state, it could be deadly for her to ride,
and so, Gawain has been rejecting her.
Even if it means breaking their bond and cutting himself off from the astral flow.
Gawain...
You would go so far as to put your own life on the line to protect Lucca?
But Gawain has only five days left to live.
Huh...?
Wh-What's this?
Seems the time has come...
Good luck.
I'm sure you can bring back their bond.
And I look forward to seeing your growth...
Knight of Avalon.
I hope you can ride me soon...
ls this... the infirmary?
Fafnirite?
Oh, right. For the healing magic.
W-Why are you...
Your temperature was dropping, so I thought I'd warm you up.
I-I see, thanks.
Oh, yeah, Lucca! I talked to Gawain!
Huh?
I don't know if you'll believe me, but...
To protect me?
Yeah. He was thinking about you this whole time.
And now... because of what I've done...
Get a hold of yourself!
Gawain has not long for this world. He has five days left.
Today is... the sixth day of camp...
Sixth day?!
We've got to get to Gawain right away.
You have to think only about him now!
Just like he was thinking about you!
O-Okay...
Could this be...
A hidden dragonkind chamber? How marvelous!
The fruit of their history and culture!
It can't be!
The Old Covenant?
I thought this was banned ages ago...
"Two great bloodlines broke off from the wise dragon king Imbolc."
"The sacred empire of Avalon and the dark kingdom of Nehalennia."
"These two houses fought one another unceasingly..."
All that really happened, in the Zone Toen era.
You're those Imperial-!
Stop. Your power is no match for mine.
It's always been that way, hasn't it?
Ann?
T-That nickname!
Prince... Julius?
What shall I do?
I don't care. Kill her.
Master Milgauss?!
Damn you...
Think you can stand in my way, do you?
Leave her. Instead...
I shall unleash Necromancia.
Y-Yes, sir!
Ash!
It hurts! Eco?
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! I thought you were gonna die!
Don't wander off where your master can't see you!
Ouch! Ouch! That hurts! I can't breathe! Ouch!
Give her this. She's been worried sick for ﬁve days.
Too worried to sleep, in fact.
Is she?
I'm sorry, Ecco.
At least you've come back around.
L-Lucca? What is it?
Gawain is... Gawain is...!
Next Time
Cosette Shelley here.
Raise your hand if the word "maid" makes you think naughty thoughts!
What's with that so suddenly Cosette-san?
Come now, Ash-sama, raise your hand!
Aren't you listening?
Ooh, you're such a perv!
This is just like it was with Lucca.
Next Episode
Dragon Dance
But I like you, Tee-hee!
Oh, Is that so. Wait, what?
