Elder!
Hang on!
Elder!
Granny!
She's still breathing!
We need to get her back to the village immediately!
G-Got it!
I'll carry her.
You can't die, Granny!

My desires are within reach.

People say they'll change the next day.

But they give up so easily.

That's just how it is here.

They get swept away by those excuses day by day.

They're nothing more than a chip, swept off the edge

Guess what? Out there,

Everyone suffers their own heartaches, myself included.

Throw yourself in with abandon. I've got the wheel.

5th Night
Dungeon Capturer
Is that true?
Yes. He appears to have been attacked by the Kouga clan while on patrol.
As I said,
there is no need to negotiate any longer with people like them.
We should destroy them all at once.
I will head to the Kouga village.
Wha-
I must confirm whether they really turned their arrows on our army or not.
I will not put up with your whims any longer!
You may be a princess, but you're the daughter of the previous emperor.
Your standing now is only due to the benevolence of our current emperor.
And His Majesty has put your safety in my hands.
I cannot permit your foolish actions.
Then I shall go there not as a princess, but as an individual.
Princess Hakuei...
To force obedience by the sword now will only invite bloody rebellion later.
The only way to truly sway a person's loyalty is through noble goals and intentions.
I give up. I won't stop you.
But you must leave me in charge of the troops in your absence.
Does that sound fair?
I have no choice.
We are going, Seishun.
Yes.
The arrow that struck Elder belongs to the Kou Empire!
We must fight back!
They stole our women and they ambushed Elder!
There's no reason to hold back anymore!
Yeah!
For the sake of our clan, we must fight!
Yeah!
Wait!
Elder said that we can't allow it to come to war, no matter what happens.
She asked us to wage a war in our hearts for survival!
Yeah, like the enemy's going to do that!
Touya and the other girls were almost forced into slavery!
We have no choice but to fight!
Granny...
Your beloved village is in trouble, Granny.
For the pride of the clan,
we will fight!
For our clan!
What should I do?
Everyone will die...
Please lend me your strength, Aladdin.
Kou
And just like that, full command over the troops is yours.
I can't believe those Kouga...
Even after all we did, those cowards failed to kill a single one of our men.
Thanks to their spinelessness, we had to do the dirty work.
I wonder what will happen now when our princess wanders carelessly into their territory.
What do you mean?
I'm just worried.
Our princess is about to waltz into an angry clan.
I hate to say it, but I'm worried she might get herself killed.
Wa-Was that your plan all along?
But why?
Why?
Because I just can't get enough of it.
I love watching those peace-loving fools turn red with anger,
show their true colors, and rip each other apart like animals.
Because I love war.
I cannot believe that the Kouga clan would wish to start a war.
Why not?
Because of what that strange young man said to me.
Granny and the others taught me the meaning of family. They're very important to me.
Don't kill them.
Is that boy a dungeon capturer?
I do not know.
But I felt that I could trust him.
Maybe you two were able to connect on a deeper level
as kindred dungeon capturers!
At any rate, let us go speak with them!
Princess!
How dare you guys shoot Elder!
Please calm down.
We have come only to talk.
Don't lie to us!
We won't fall for your tricks anymore!
Princess!
Why didn't you move?
We have no desire to fight.
Please allow us the privilege of a discussion. We only wish to ascertain the truth.
Don't let her fool you!
She said the same thing yesterday!
Get her!
Y-Yeah!
Stop, you fools!
Elder!
How could you act so shamefully? And you dare to call yourself Kouga warriors?
Do not lose sight of what truly must be protected.
And do not forget how to fight that battle!
The Kouga shall accept the jurisdiction of the Kou Empire.
Elder!
If do that, they'll kill us all!
It is at you see, Princess.
Our clan has long suffered invasions and slave hunters,
and we bear those scars in our minds and on our bodies.
I will not allow any more of my family to be harmed.
At one time, I was prepared to war with your people.
But then a child said to me,
"Their leader is someone you can trust."
But that wound is not one you can get from regular day-to-day activities.
My troops must have been the ones to-
You are comparing the life of the leader to that of the whole clan.
You know which one holds more importance.
I have understood your wishes and take them on as my own.
From this day forward, the safety and security of the Kouga clan is guaranteed,
under the name of the Kou Empire and my own, Hakuei.
And just like that, we're people of the Kou Empire.
What does that matter?
As long as we keep our pride strong in our hearts, nothing has changed.
We must be like the Elder!
What is your answer, people of Kouga?
Show us what you wish for!
Isn't this amazing, Ugo?
They all have the courage to choose what steps they must take to guarantee their future.
We didn't have to do anything.
Elder!
Hang in there!
Granny!
Elder!
What's the matter, Aladdin?
What are you doing back here all alone?
Granny... You died.
Everyone's crying.
They all loved you.
You speak as though you are not one of them.
What about you, Aladdin?
I love you too, Granny.
But my memories with you are less than theirs.
Oh Aladdin. You think of yourself as alone in the world, don't you?
But that's not true.
Now that I am in this form, I have finally understood who you really are.
Take a look over there.
All living things in this world are individuals,
yet the source of their lives is singular.
That is rukh, the lifeblood of this earth, made up of all of our souls.
And you, the one who is loved by the rukh and able to borrow its power,
are a Magi.
One who lives with the souls of countless millions,
who guides them, and who creates their world.
That's why you are never alone.
Beloved child of Solomon,
I will always be by your side.
From now on, we must protect the peace of this land.
Yes.
And when we return, there is something I must take care of.
What do you think you're doing?
Obviously, going to war!
Call back the troops now!
The Kouga clan has come under our rule peacefully as a result of negotiation.
They're even bigger cowards than I thought.
They willingly accepted your negotiations even after being captured for slavery and attacked during the night.
So it was your doing, Ryosai!
Yes, it was. But my version of the story goes like this:
Sadly, the princess was brutally murdered by the Kouga clan.
Seeking revenge for the princess, Ryosai led the entire army to destroy the Kouga village.
Is that how you think this will end?
You think someone like you, with only a thousand retainers, can lead a whole army?
How did you come up with such a preposterous idea?
If only you hadn't appeared, I would've been the one selected!
I would've been the general of this army!
These men are my direct underlings.
Shut up and die, you bitch!
These tricks!
You blasted dungeon capturer!
Kill her!
Household Vessel: Double Moon Swords!
What are your orders?
Buy me time.
What power I have left over should be enough to deal with riffraff like them.
Understood!
Spirit of maniacal love and chaos, I command thee!
Cover my form, live in my frame,
change me into a great Magician!
Paimon!
Traitor Ryosai.
The first princess of the Kou Empire,
Hakuei Ren, sentences you to death!
Prepare yourself!
Rest in peace, Elder.
I'm glad I came to this village, Ugo.
I've finally learned what I am.
Or at least, part of it.
It's just as you said back then.
I wonder what's going on?
At this rate, we'll be destroyed!
Fire your arrows!
We will hit our own men by accident!
Don't worry, you won't.
Shoot now!
If it keeps going on like this, I'm going to run out of power.
Seishun!
Coming!
We will finish this in one go!
Magul Alhazad!
Princess!
Where is Ryosai?
We've weakened the enemy forces.
Capture Ryosai!
What forces might you be referring to?
Once the Magic stored in the Metal Vessels is used up,
the connected Household Vessels are useless.
You're powerless now, aren't you, little miss dungeon capturer?
Don't fret, Princess.
I will kill you quickly.
And I'll kill your precious little brother, Hakuryuu Ren, too!
You bastard!
Yes, come at me. I am also a warrior.
Let's have our blades decide who is more fit to be general!
That's just what I want!
If it's a one-on-one fight, there's a chance I can beat him!
You idiot! You actually believed me!
I'm going to torture you until you die.
Am I going to die?
You think you're so special as the first princess?
You're nothing! You're worthless!
Halharl Infigar!
Kou
Young man... What exactly are you?
Me?
I'm...
That's right, Aladdin, you are a...
I'm a Magi.
A Magi?
My fan!
Miss, could I touch your fan just for a moment?
How are you all doing?
I am Paimon.
Created by Solomon as the djinn of maniacal love and chaos.
My mistress is Queen Hakuei Ren.
But where did you get the Magic to materialize me?
Ah, a Magi.
Oh goodness, and here is another special sight!
This again! I wish I knew what they were saying.
I see. I understand the situation.
There are unusual events occurring around the world, aren't there?
But I don't care about that.
I only care to support my king candidate, my precious Hakuei.
That's why I was created.
King candidate?
Yes.
My Hakuei is a king candidate, chosen by the Magi of the Kou Empire.
Lord Priest? Where are you?
Magi!
There you are.
You must not miss your audience with the emperor.
He will be angry.
But I can't stand that pig.
Hakuryuu!
What is it, Lord Priest?
Can't you become emperor?
Hurry up and become more powerful already!
You should go capture a dungeon.
Just like your sister, Hakuei Ren, did.
The Lord Priest led me to a dungeon.
So there are other Magi besides myself.
That's right.
It is a Magi's duty to select a king.
Have you not chosen a king yet?
You know, like how I found Hakuei in that dungeon and made a contract with her.
Oh!
Is it really okay for me to take this?
Yeah.
I'm sure it's what the Elder would've wanted.
You should take a weapon with you too!
Silly, Aladdin doesn't need something like that.
Mister!
Do you know someone named Goltas?
That's terrible.
Goltas is a common name among the Kouga people.
I'm sure he was a member of our family too.
We will pray for his soul.
I see.
Thank you for sticking through all of that with us, even though our meeting was just a random coincidence.
It wasn't a coincidence.
The time has come for you to leave this place.
Do you remember, Aladdin?
You cried about not knowing what you are.
If you travel the world to your heart's content, I am sure you will discover
why you were born into this world.
May you meet many people and so discover yourself.
That is where your journey will lead you.
It really is just as you said, Ugo.
We're pulling out!
Has everyone said their goodbyes?
See you again, Aladdin.
Stay well!
Let's meet again, people of Kouga!
Yeah!
So what happened in Amon's dungeon was the selection of a king.
I'm not sure how the future will change now that I've met you,
but I'm going to find you now, Alibaba!

The Battle-Driven Fanalis Tribe
Morgiana, you're so cool!
But wait, when do I get to show up?
