No survivors...
Terrible...
Are you okay--?!
It can't be...
What are these marks...?
First Lieutenant, over here!
Linden is a town famous for its beautiful lake.
Instead... the lake is gone, and this...
A huge... hole?
What is this?
This used to be a lake...?
It's too dark to see. What is going on?
Sir, could this perhaps be...
...the Abyss?
The... Abyss?
Sir! A survivor!
Hey! What happened here?!
The hole... A demon came out!
A demon! From the Abyss!
It was a peaceful day, my companions and I were enjoying lunch together...
...then, suddenly the ground rumbled...
When I noticed...
...the lake was replaced by a hole!
It came-- It-- The demon!
Calm down! What is this "demon"?!
He's in too much shock, sir, he can't make sense...
Say it! What did you see?!
A demon. A terrible monster...
We fought hard,
but our swords and bows and everything else had no effect...
It was hell! Women and children-- burned alive by the flames it spewed...
Impossible.
It's true that the town was destroyed.
A demon?
No, what's more likely is a Ballot Holder.
A Ballot Holder with some sort of fire-based power might have somehow...
No! That was no human! A demon!
--Calm down!
--There is no other way! It-- The Demon of the Abyss-- --Calm down!
--There is no other way! It-- The Demon of the Abyss--
it was flying!
First Lieutenant! We have to take care of him first!
There's another town close to here!
Let's take him there!
Yes...
Flying...?
As far as I know, no military personnel or Ballot Holder can fly.
Flying and even studying how to fly is banned here.
Flying is an activity exclusive to birds.
So did an otherworldly "demon" really come out of the Abyss?
No... There is just one man, who is known to fly...
Nana, I'm hungry.
Nobody eats for free!
Peel all those.
What?
Stop complaining!
Can I eat after?
I'll think about it.
Seriously?
I'm sorry, is there a doctor near here?
Oh, there's one right over by--
Huh? Pudding!
Mr. Pudding.
How?
Oh, wait...
I knew it...
How was he?
Nothing life-threatening.
I'm glad.
So the only remaining problem is...
Mister First Lieutenant, you want a drink?
No!
He must really be mad about how we made him pass out and left him behind.
That's obvious.
I'm mad, too!
I'm sorry!
I guess that wasn't the best plan...
No more games.
First Lieutenant!
Hina, get behind me!
Huh?
A whole town was destroyed. Many innocent civilians were killed.
I cannot just blame this on some delusion of a demon.
You seem serious.
Demon of the Abyss.
What's that?
I know it was not your doing.
You merely jump high. You cannot fly.
But you know something, and I must get that information out of you.
Enough, you two! You're disrupting my business!
Stop with the horseplay and enjoy some of these.
Trying to make me pass out again?
Don't be such a stiff.
Napita is the magic solution to all things.
Bring all the Napita you have!
My pleasure!
Are you trying to seduce me into talking?
You're naughty!
I can do this by force, but...
Oh, hey, First Lieutenant!
What are you wearing?
This, uh, well, Nana wanted help, so...
You have a problem with that?
Fine.
I am buying, enjoy the drinks.
Or else... you know what the alternative is.
Oh, well, I suppose I'll take you up on the offer.
I don't appreciate your style of taking hostages.
At least we have one thing in common. I do not like you either.
Now, my questions. Who are you?
I'm...
On some days, I am a pretty pudding, laced with sorrow.
On some other days, I am the dark raven of justice... or something.
I see... Not enough to drink.
What is your goal? Why is the military after you?
I'm just too awesome!
By the way, Mister First Lieutenant.
How come you drink so slowly?
Fine... Questions can come later.
Too slow!
Too slow.
No!
Slow, slow!
I win!
Hey, that time I was faster!
Oh, it was me!
And sneak in another!
What?! You cheat!
Boys will be boys, eh?
When you saved Lynn, you were faster than me.
My Count is 12,500. Yours is 5,700. How?!
Is that so?
You were hiding your true powers. You must've possess another hidden Ballot and used it.
Correct?
This is my only Ballot.
How can I believe you?!
You're so untrusting.
What I can believe... is that you're no ordinary Ballot Holder.
Then what do you think I am?
A "Legendary Ace"!
Seriously? From 300 years ago?
The wanted poster says so!
And you just believe what it says?
How can I believe such an absurd tall tale?
I agree with you there.
But the order from my superiors is to chase down the Ace, Licht Bach.
Who are you?
Come on, drink up.
You drink, too!
Answer me! Who are you?!
Drunk already? You sound like a drunk, repeating the same question over and over.
It is because you are dodging my question!
Dodging?! Oh, so you're blaming it on me?
Is that how your "conviction" works?
How dare you insult my convictions!
See how easy it is to get you all worked up?
Condemn the crime, not the person.
Can't you be the bigger man here?
You are not worthy of sympathy!
That's why I think you have a small heart.
Hey, why don't you start calling yourself Little Jail, instead of Iron Jail?
Full of innuendo!
You... You!
Come on, don't get so excited.
Mind your blood pressure!
Have a drink and calm down!
I am calm!
What a good drinker you are!
Hmm?! You are making me drink by myself!
See? Doubting me again! It's a bad habit, Jail-boy!
Stop referring to me in a weird way!
I do not have time to play along with your ridiculous jokes!
Be a man, face me with your true powers! Fight me!
You stole my lines, First Lieutenant.
Is this really the right thing to do?
I think First Lieutenant Jail needed a drink, too...
...after seeing what we saw at Linden.
I also...
Nana, that's...
Shock!
Time to show those boys how to drink like an adult!
Hello there! Having fun?
What do you want?
Uh-oh! Nana's here!
Do not interrupt our serious fight!
Thanks for the drinks, First Lieutenant!
What do you want?!
--Come on, drink, drink! Enjoy, enjoy!
--You can't change Nana. --Come on, drink, drink! Enjoy, enjoy!
--You can't change Nana. --Look how cute your face is!
--I hope they're okay... --Look how cute your face is!
Hina, get behind me!
Huh?
I was there, too, you know...
Hina, are you and Pudding...?
Pudding?
It's very nice, how you call Licht "Pudding."
So what about Licht?
Oh, no, it's nothing...
Lynn?
Oh, I had some strong Napita, so...
Need water...
Here!
Dang... She's so petite and cute...
Are you okay? Please tell me right away if you start feeling unwell.
Oh... Thanks...
Are you okay?!
She's so nice...
Yeah... I knew it. I did.
But... I also have lots of memories with Pudding.
Um...?
But I guess not...
Wait, that's...!
Oh, no!
Hina!
But I... I still...
I think leaving it pent up inside isn't like me.
Oh, um... Yes.
I-I... I w-w-won't...
I won't lose!
Um, what exactly...?
Well said!
Girls gotta have guts! I love competitions like that!
Good luck!
Y-Yes!
You, too, Hina!
Um, what are...?
All right, drink up! Both of you!
Huh?
Not bad, Mister First Lieutenant.
You, too.
--Pudding! --Licht?!
--Are you okay?! --Are you okay?!
Whoa.
Come here!
Are you okay...?
Pudding? Did you fall asleep?
Oh, beautiful youth!
Come on, drink up.
No more!
What is it...?
First Lieutenant Jail!
What is happening?!
It's trouble! It's here, too!
This hole...
It's the same as the one we saw at Linden.
What's going on...?
What should we do? Should we notify HQ?
Wait. I hear something.
It's the Demon of the Abyss...
Hey, you should be in bed!
This noise, it's the same as Linden...!
The Demon of the Abyss?
It's going to kill us all!
Women, children, everyone in this town!
There's no escape, no getting away!
Attention!
I am First Lieutenant Jail of the Gefängnis Company!
Evacuate the civilians! Those with a shield, surround the hole!
Those with bows, prepare to fire!
Whatever comes out of this hole, shoot it down!
Yes, sir!
This sound... Could it be...?
No, Jail! Pull everyone back!
What?!
You! You know what the Demon of the Abyss is after all, don't you?
But... It can't be... It's not possible.
Those things... back then, they all...
Say it! What is the Demon of the Abyss?!
Sir, it's coming out!
What is this...?
How... How are these things still able to fly...?
All of these things were taken out of the sky in that war...
"Episode 8 - Demon of the Abyss"
In the town engulfed in flames, the man of iron faces his final battle!
Does the blinded Jail have any chance of victory?!
Where are my glasses?
Next episode, "Jail Dies Again"!
He's not going to die! Next episode, "Plunderer."
Where are my glasses?
