What's happening?
I am His Imperial Majesty's loyal knight, Oslo El Gustave!
You are all poisonous insects that defile His Imperial Majesty's sacred garden.
And now the flames of my wrath shall immolate you, down to your very souls!
L'age Soleil!
High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World!
Is that what they call Duke Fastidious' Heaven's Flames?
It Seems Aoi's Specs Are Greater Than Imagined!
Tsukasa!
Wh-What should we be doing?!
Do you have to ask? The fires will reach us here soon!
We need to escape!
B-But there are residents who haven't escaped yet over there!
Run!
Do not panic!
I am the god of the Seven-Light Faith, Akatsuki!
That's Akatsuki!
Akatsuki!
Dormundt has just been subjected to a cowardly attack from the empire!
The empire is trying to destroy this city, along with its former nobility!
But fear not!
We, the Seven-Light Faith, will not abandon you!
Not a single one of you!
That's right! Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the Emergency Manual!
Looks like you remembered it on your own.
We've already notified you of every step to be taken when situations like these arise,
and all the necessary manpower and supplies are in place.
All that's left is to remain calm,
and proceed with your tasks steadily and certainly.
As the ones who'll lead this city for the considerable future, this is your job.
It'll be all right. You can do this.
Contact the trading company and procure blankets!
Understood!
You two transfer our important documents!
Yes, sir!
I'll secure our shelter!
Let's go!
Yes, sir!
Ohoshi Ringo
Calling
It's me.
Tsukasa, are you okay?
Yeah, everything's fine here.
Ringo, I'm sorry to keep asking things of you, but I'd like to make another request.
Sure, I understand.
Damn it!
What in the world is happening?!
Why is Duke Gustave...?
W-We imperial nobles are still here in the city!
You're...
Zest Bernard!
Are you boys all okay?
Why would you rescue us after leaving to join the rebel army?!
For the sake of the kind world to come.
Huh?
Everyone, regardless of status or pedigree, will be able to choose how they live...
And how they die.
That's how the new world will be.
This is no time to be caring about nobility or whatnot.
What? That's nonsense!
I'm serious.
That's the world the Seven-Light Faith is genuinely trying to build.
Now I see. You made the streets wider
to prevent fires from spreading to other areas.
Yeah.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to extinguish the fires with just water.
Impressive, Tsukasa.
Looks like the fire's stopped progressing for now.
A cunning trick!
Don't think you can escape my wrath so easily!
What's that?
A-A person just—
This is the true power of my loyalty!
Die!
Die and repent!
Repent for your sin of trampling down His Imperial Majesty's holy land!
This is bad.
Take all of the wounded and evacuate to the central park!
Hey, if this keeps up...
I still have one more idea.
Everyone!
There's a way to break L'age Soleil!
Unless the lance that serves as the curse core binding the fire spirits is destroyed,
L'age Soleil will continue to spread its flames.
But that also means—
If we destroy that lance, then we can stop it, right?
Y-Yes!
I see.
But how do you know about that, Lyrule?
I don't know.
You don't know?
I don't know.
I don't know how, but I still know it.
The moment I saw those flames,
the nature of what that was,
what kind of spell it was...
All of those details just naturally popped into my head.
But it's true!
Unless we destroy the core of that curse,
the flames will continue chasing us forever!
That's how that spell works!
Please believe me!
I believe you.
You do believe me?
The changes within you have put you
in a state of such fear and confusion that you can't stop shaking,
but you still took action to help everyone here.
There's no reason for me not to believe in that courage.
Sorry for the wait, bear!
Ringo, are there any remaining missiles?
J-Just one inside of Bearabbit.
Huh? Wait, are you telling me this idea you mentioned is...
Destroying the lance.
But we couldn't do any damage to it with our ground-to-air missiles, bear.
Apparently, the strength of a magic spell
is proportional to the number of spirits it commands.
For a tactical spell on this scale, the concentration of spirits and the strength
are probably immeasurable.
So it makes sense that we couldn't destroy it with our missiles.
However...
The fire spirits bound to L'age Soleil are now scattered throughout the city.
We should be able to destroy the lance now.
All right, so...
But u-um...
With so much fire burning around it,
the targeting might fail.
The lance is stuck into the ground,
so it's outside the range of our anti-air radar, bear.
Then why don't we just have Bearabbit make his way directly to the lance?
I-Impossible!
If I go out into such high heat, my circuitboards will melt apart, bear!
That makes destroying it with a missile difficult.
In that case, I'll go.
What do you mean, you'll go?
I'll run alongside the missile Bearabbit launches
and manually guide it to its target.
What?!
Even knowing you, that's—
Tsukasa-dono.
Do you think I'm foolish enough to take on something I can't achieve
and place everyone else in peril?
All right. I'll trust you.
You are Ichijou Aoi, the super sword master.
Ringo! I'm all set now!
All set here, too!
Missile...
launch, bear!
Incredible.
She really is running alongside that missile.
I'm surprised her legs can keep up with it.
At this rate, they should reach their destination soon, right?
No, it looks like it won't go that smoothly.
I-Incredible!
This is bad!
That path's—
Up... you... go!
She dodged it!
Incredible.
But she can't reach the lance like this.
I can see it over there!
All right! Just a straight line from here!
Crafty flies!
Go down!
Go down, go down, go down, go down!
Where did you hide, you worm?!
I see it!
Ringo!
Locked on!
I won't let you!
Art of Void:
Dew Blade Draft!
Go!
Impossible!
This can't be!
We did it!
Hip, hip, hooroar!
Aoi...
Honestly, that girl can be so reckless.
The flames are dying out.
My lord!
Those bastards!
Those poisonous bugs devouring His Imperial Majesty's sacred garden!
The fire spirits have been freed from the curse.
Thank you.
Thank you, ladies.
They're thanking you all.
You can hear the voices of the spirits?
Yes.
They were in such pain, crying "Help," and "We don't want to do this."
But it's fine now.
They won't try to burn the city down.
That's good.
Lyrule, allow me to thank you as well.
It was your courage that kept this city from facing greater damage.
Thank you.
There are a lot of people we couldn't save, though...
"This never would have happened if we hadn't gone to war."
If that's what you're thinking and regretting, then you're wrong.
Huh?
This war...
This whole process of a people's revolution against the feudal system
is always guaranteed to happen at some point in history.
Even if Elm Village hadn't started this fight for freedom and equality,
eventually someone else would have started it elsewhere.
After all, there's no future for a nation that's willing
to slaughter its own citizens so mercilessly.
What we need to do to make sure none of these sacrifices were in vain
is to see this battle through to the end
and create a future that saves thousands more lives.
Don't you agree?
Yes!
Um, Tsukasa?
I heard a mysterious voice just before all of this commotion.
I was suddenly filled with all that knowledge about magic,
and I could hear the spirits' voices.
That timing's all too convenient.
Yes.
There's a lot I don't understand, but...
I think "my power" might be knowledge of magic
and the power to hear the voices of the spirits.
So I'd like to start studying magic!
Once I do, I might be able to fight alongside you, too!
If whatever spoke to me
is related to whatever brought you all here to this world,
then I might be able to discover a way to return you all to your world, too!
So...
Yeah, that would be a huge help for us.
Akatsuki!
Akatsuki! Thank you for saving us!
That's our Seven-Light Faith!
No way!
Too loud, Shinobu.
I mean, are you serious?
He already sent L'age Soleil your way?!
Yeah.
And you're okay?!
I heard that's a really dangerous spell!
Thanks to everyone's efforts,
we were able to limit the damage to a third of the city.
However, it would be difficult for us to survive
if he launches it multiple times.
You won't have to worry on that front.
He has to spend a fair deal of time binding fire spirits to use that tactical spell.
So he shouldn't be able to just pop them out.
I see.
Still, how humiliating.
I pride myself on exposing all manner of corruption and scandals before they go public,
but now I was caught unawares!
I can't believe he launched it without talking to his forces!
Just how impatient is Gustave?!
I hope he goes bald!
You should stop spouting curses like that into your phone.
Come on...
Well, it's over now.
More importantly, this resistance...
You said it was the Azure Brigade?
You did well to make contact with them.
Please continue working with them
and feeding me all the strategic information they know.
That includes the Azure Brigade's inner secrets, too.
We haven't yet determined if they're fit to ally with.
Yeah.
I'll text you what I know so far.
Please do.
Shinobu sounded pretty upset there.
She was lamenting being a step behind.
Thanks to you creating that register ahead of time,
it looks like we won't have any trouble rebuilding the city.
That's good to hear.
Merchant.
Apparently, Lyrule heard a voice telling her
to "guide the seven heroes" earlier.
Oh? That's specific.
After what happened in Findolf's castle,
I'd kind of seen it coming, but...
At the very least, she doesn't seem like an enemy.
Though she's not necessarily our ally.
Well, now that we've decided to go through with this people's revolution,
obtaining information on how to return to Earth isn't as high of a priority.
Yeah.
After this incident, the empire is certain to make a move.
What's your plan?
Well...
Tsukasa.
The first squad with modernized arms is ready.
We have a total of 50 men.
Then let's strike first, as tradition demands.
