Where Sin Was Born
——Avalon.

The wandering isle, kept adrift at sea by
the eternal hopes and dreams of heroes.

I wonder if they truly understand...

what it means to have a dream fulfilled?

That they will be bound by fate to their
crime and punishment?

???
I want to have it all. I want power.

Young Girl
Ah, power. You must know what happens
to people when they possess it?

Old Man
You think I am not worthy of great
power?

Old Man
Well I don't care what you think!

Old Man
I am on a quest for power.

Old Man
And I now stand before you, here on the
Isle of Avalon!

Old Man
So now, fair maiden, I beseech thee!
Grant me the power I so desire!

Young Girl
You certainly talk the talk. I should have
expected as much from mankind.

Old Man
I am no mere man. I am king.

Old Man
I possess desires far greater than any
other.

Young Girl
Well then, Your Majesty, what use could
you possibly have for even more power?

Old Man
Isn't it obvious? I want it all.

Old Man
Anything and everything that exists on
this earth. All that I have loved and lost...

Old Man
I want it all.

Old Man
I'll start by unifying the world under
my rule!

Old Man
I want the whole world to be at peace.

Young Girl
Peace, huh? Peace is forever just out of
reach.

Young Girl
And what price would you pay to obtain
this eternal "peace"?

Old Man
Haha! Strike me down with a curse if you
will, for I shall do whatever it takes!

Old Man
I'll say it again: I want peace.

Old Man
I want a world where everyone can eat
and drink and be merry.

Old Man
Fair maiden of Avalon—

Old Man
you'd do well to not look down upon
mankind.

Young Girl
Dooming himself for the good of his people.
A king sure does act nobly.

Old Man
So you do understand, o pure maiden.
Le Fay, the Witch of Avalon.

Le Fay
Hehe... This should be fun.

Le Fay
All right, a curse it shall be.

Le Fay
O King of "Mankind."

Le Fay
Go on then, take a bite...

Velsa
You're not normally one to smirk like that.

Le Fay
Hmm?

Velsa
You were smiling just now, weren't you?

Le Fay
I guess I was smiling. I was remembering
something.

Le Fay
I wonder...

Le Fay
Have they paid the price by now?

Le Fay
Was the curse worth it in the end?

I can hear water.

Drip...drip...

The droplets fall onto my cheek... They
tickle.

Finn
Is that rain?

Finn
!

Merlin
Ooh! Hello there!

Merlin
You finally noticed the water!

Merlin
Hey, what's with the strange face? Cute
girl got your heart a'pumpin?

Merlin
Well, that's healthy for a young man!
I am quite the beauty, after all!

Finn
Oh, uh...

Finn
(She sure is bubbly.)

Finn
Hey, do you know where we are? Looks
to be some sort of cave...

Merlin
I take it you're lost, good sir.

Merlin
Bonked your head, maybe? Memory loss?
Any injuries? Oh you poor, poor thing!

Finn
Injuries? I don't feel injured...

Finn
But I don't know how I got here, so I
guess that means...

Merlin
Well, you did just wake up. Your brain's
all a jumble, so best not think too much.

Finn
(Right, my brain's not at its best right
after waking up.)

Finn
(I suppose the best thing to do right now
is to get a grasp of the situation.)

Finn
By the way, why are you here?

Merlin
Why am I here?
Well...uh...

Merlin
I heard snoring! Yes, I heard you snoring.

Merlin
I'm lost too. I was trying to find my way
home when I heard this loud snoring!

Merlin
And when I came looking in the cave,
there you were, sound asleep!

Finn
I was asleep in this cave?

Merlin
Yep yep! That's it!

Merlin
I tried shaking you, but you wouldn't
wake up. So I thought I'd stick around.

Merlin
Imagine if a monster got to you!

Finn
Ah, so that's why you were so close.

Finn
I suppose I ought to thank you for
keeping watch over me while I slept.

Merlin
No problem, it's always good to be
charitable! Ahaha! ♪

Merlin
That's right, win him over...

Finn
What's that?

Merlin
Oh no, I didn't say anything! Don't mind
me at all!

Finn
Uh, right.

Finn
(I'm sure she said something just now.
Win...something?)

Grrrr...

Merlin
Oh my! Good sir, was that your stomach
just now?

Finn
Well, I haven't eaten in a while, but that
wasn't my stomach.

Merlin
It's okay, it's just the two of us here! You
don't need to feel shy or anything.

Grrrr...

Merlin
Aha! ♪ See? You really are hungry!

Grrr...rrrr.....grrr...

Merlin
Wow, your stomach sure can make noise!

Merlin
Almost sounds like a monster...

Finn
It is a monster!

Monster
Groooargh!

Merlin
Eeeek! A monster!!!

Finn
Stay back. I'll handle this!

Merlin
Save me, good sir!

Finn
I think we're safe for now.

Merlin
Wow, look at you! I knew you'd be strong!

Finn
You knew?

Merlin
Oh, don't mind me! I didn't say anything!

Merlin
We'd better get out of here before more
monsters show up. I'll show you to town!

Finn
Good idea... Hang on!

Finn
I thought you said you were lost? How
would you know the way to town?

Merlin
Eck!

Merlin
Well, you see... What I meant to say is...

Merlin
It was a metaphor.

Merlin
It's a dark path we walk in life, and
humans are always prone to stumbling.

Merlin
So really, aren't we all just a little bit lost?

Finn
Uh...I don't quite follow.

Merlin
Ugh, let me spell it out for you.

Merlin
Town! I show! I help you! Everything
A-OK!

Merlin
I'm already doing so much for you, and
you want more? Don't be greedy, good sir.

Finn
Oh, uh... I'm sorry?

Finn
(Somehow I'm the one apologizing...)

Merlin
Great! I'm glad we agree. ♪

Merlin
Now, follow me!

Finn
There she goes.

Finn
What a peculiar girl.

Finn
Well there's no use staying put. May as
well see where she takes me.

Undesired Fight
Finn
So, can you tell me your name?

Merlin
My name?

Merlin
Why, I'm the breathtaking beauty they
call Merlin!

Finn
Nice to meet you. I'm Finn. And thank
you once again for watching over me.

Merlin
You're such an upstanding gentleman.
You're going to make me feel guilty.

Finn
Why would you feel guilty?

Merlin
Oh, look! Can you see the castle?

Finn
Wow, that's magnificent... I've never
seen a castle like that before.

Finn
Are we...not in Rigland?

Merlin
Rigland?

Merlin
Is that one of those crisp-on-the-outside
soft-on-the-inside sweets?

Finn
What? No, Rigland is a place.

Finn
Rigland in Westland. You've never heard
of it before?

Merlin
Sorry, nope!

Finn
Oh no...

Finn
(We must be really far away if the people
here have never heard of Rigland.)

Finn
Could this be another world!?

Merlin
Another world?

Finn
Oh, uh...

Finn
(I haven't seen Cyrus around. Maybe the
lines between worlds are really thin...)

Finn
(But why am I here?)

Merlin
Well, we need to find some people first.
On we go!

Merlin
I'm sure we'll find plenty of people in the
know once we reach the castle.

Merlin
Someone might know about this Rigland
place of yours!

Finn
Yeah, I guess I should find out what I can
first.

Finn
So what's that castle called?

Merlin
It's Camelot. Have you heard of it?

Finn
Camelot...

Finn
(It sounds familiar...but from where?)

Finn
No, I don't think so.

Merlin
Oh, well, keep your chin up!

Finn
Sure. Thanks, Merlin.

Finn
Is that smoke?

Merlin
There's a small village that way.

Merlin
It's called Lonsbury.

Finn
Well that's convenient. Let's take a break
there.

Finn
I need to recover my strength from that
fight with the monster.

Merlin
You want to go to Lonsbury? Well, I
suppose they'll be happy to have visitors...

Merlin
...

Merlin
What a pain...

Finn
Huh?

Merlin
Nothing! Ahaha! ♪ I didn't say anything!

Merlin
Oh shoot. Hold up!

Merlin
I totally forgot! There's something else
I need to do.

Merlin
You go on ahead.

Finn
Wait, Merlin! How do I get to the castle?

Merlin
See the tower? Just head in that direction!
Okay, buh-bye now!

Finn
And she's off again. It must have been
important, whatever it is she forgot.

Merlin
Oh, I forgot to mention!

Finn
She's back!?

Merlin
I highly suggest you leave the village
before sunset!

Merlin
That is all!

Merlin
Good luck, Finn! ♪

Finn
Wow, she's like a whirlwind...

Finn
Well, let's go see what it's like in
Lonsbury.

???
...

Finn
So this is Lonsbury. What a quaint little
village.

Lonsbury Villager A
Oh, are you a traveler?

Finn
Hello, I'm just stopping by to rest. I hope
you don't mind?

Lonsbury Villager B
No, not at all. We don't have much, but
please make yourself at home.

Lonsbury Villager C
We don't get too many visitors here in
Lonsbury. Where are you from?

Finn
I'm from a place called Rigland, have
you heard of it?

Lonsbury Villager D
Hmm... Can't say that I have.

Finn
I see...

Finn
(I guess I really am a long way away.)

Lonsbury Villager A
Take all the time you need. Sorry we
don't have much to offer.

Finn
Okay, thank you for your hospitality.

Spica
Hello, sir?

Spica
Are you a knight?

Finn
I sure am! That was a good guess.

Spica
Well, it's because you look like a
knight!

Finn
(I suppose travelers don't usually wear
armor, do they?)

Finn
I'm a member of the Rigland Red Dragon
Knights.

Finn
But I don't think many people here have
heard of them.

Spica
Red Dragon? Not the Round Table?

Spica
I've always wanted to join the Knights of
the Round Table!

Spica
They're the best in the world! Nobody can
beat the Knights of the Round Table!

Finn
The best in the world, you say? Well, I'd
love to meet them sometime.

Spica
They've guarded the King of Camelot for
more than a hundred years!

Spica
And guess what! My dad used to be—

Spica's Father
That's enough, Spica. You're babbling.

Spica
I'm not babbling! You used to be a Knight
of the Round Table! Why can't I tell—

Spica's Father
Hush, Spica!

Spica
Okay...

Spica's Father
I'm sorry, Spica. I didn't mean to raise my
voice. But just cut it out, will you?

Spica's Father
Sorry to you too, traveler. I didn't mean
to offend.

Spica's Father
Let me offer you something warm to make up
for it. Won't you join us at our home?

Finn
I'd love to, if you're sure that's all right?

Spica
Oh? You're coming to our place? Yay!
You can tell us all about your travels!

Spica's Father
Spica does love stories. What do you say?

Finn
Sure, let's go.

I spent several hours taking a rest at
Spica's house.

I regaled tales of my adventures with the
Red Dragon Knights.

Spica listened intently, his eyes
sparkling.

Even I got a little caught up in the
storytelling—

Spica's Father
I hope you are now well-rested, traveler?

Finn
Yes, and thank you so much for the soup.
It was delicious!

Spica's Father
I'm glad to hear it. You're welcome any
time the sun is out, so I hope you'll stop by.

Finn
Of course. I'd love to visit again.

Spica
Aww Finn, do you really have to go?

Spica
I want to hear more of your stories! Why
don't you stay at our house for the night?

Spica's Father
Don't push it, Spica. Sorry, we wouldn't
want to keep you, Finn.

Finn
It's okay. I had fun too, Spica. We'll play
together another time, okay?

Spica
You're really going to leave? Why does
everyone always leave?

Spica
I just want to have a friend... Sniff...sniff...

Finn
Aww, it's okay, Spica. I mean, I guess
one night couldn't hurt—

Spica's Father
I'm afraid that's out of the question. You
cannot stay here.

Finn
Oh...right. Begging your pardon, sir.

Spica's Father
I'm sorry, it's not you. It's just...

Lonsbury Villager A
We've got trouble! Bandits have been
spotted nearby!

Lonsbury Villager A
They're marching in our direction over the
mountain ridge from the west!

Finn
Bandits!?

Lonsbury Villager B
Could they really be headed for the
village?

Lonsbury Villager A
There was some sort of leader among
them ordering them to attack the village.

Lonsbury Villager B
Why would they attack us?

Finn
How many bandits did you see? Did you
see if they had any weapons?

Lonsbury Villager A
I'm not sure, but there were a lot of them.
They were also armed.

Lonsbury Villager C
Oh dear, what are we going to do?

Lonsbury Villager D
We'll have to board up the houses...

Spica
You just want to hide? I want to fight!
Come on, everyone!

Lonsbury Villagers
...

Spica
What's wrong with you guys? I thought
you all used to be knights!

Lonsbury Villager A
We can't fight...

Lonsbury Villager B
We're not strong enough...

Spica
Ugh, fine! Guess it's up to me to protect
the village!

Spica's Father
Spica!

Finn
I'll go! I may not be from this land, but I
am a knight back where I'm from.

Spica's Father
Thank you, Finn. Please protect us...
Protect Spica...

Finn
Don't worry, I will. Everyone else, find
some place to hide!

Finn
(The villagers' fear of battle seems to run
deeper than normal...)

Finn
(It's like they're holding onto something
that happened long ago...)

Finn
All right, here I go!

Spica
C-Come on! What are you waiting for?
C-Come and get me!

Spica
Come out! You dirty b-bandits!

Spica
—Aaagh!

Finn
Spica, thank goodness you're safe!

Spica
Ah, it's you, Finn... You came to help me?

Finn
Of course. I couldn't leave you and the
villagers on your own, could I?

Spica
Wow, knights really are something amazing.

Spica
That settles it. I definitely want to be a
knight when I grow up!

Finn
You should! You're certainly courageous
enough!

Spica
Yeah!

Finn
You can leave it to me from here, Spica.
You go back to the village, okay?

Spica
You're going to protect us, right?

Finn
I swear by my life! Now hurry, before the
bandits show up!

Spica
Thank you, Finn!

Finn
(Still no sign of the bandits. Spica should
have enough time to get back.)

Finn
(If their aim is to raid a defenseless
village, they're probably moving slowly.)

Finn
(They'll be conserving their energy and I
doubt they'll all attack at once.)

Finn
I should be all right on my own—

???
You aim to fight this fight alone. Why?

Finn
(Crap, is that one of the bandits?)

???
Sheathe your sword, I am not your
enemy here.

Finn
You're not a bandit?

???
I am not.

Finn
(She sounds like a young girl, but I sense
extraordinary fighting spirit in her.)

Finn
(This is no ordinary person.)

???
I ask you again, why are you choosing to
help the people of that village?

Finn
Why am I helping them? Do I really need
a reason to help a fellow human being?

Finn
The village is defenseless, and I am
ready and willing to fight for them.

???
"Noblesse oblige."

???
The privileged are obliged to assist the
disadvantaged.

???
I see you are of exemplary character.

Lancelot
My name is Lancelot, Knight of the
Round Table.

Finn
You're a Knight of the Round Table? My
name is Finn. I'm a knight from Rigland.

Lancelot
Rigland? You must be very far from home
then.

Lancelot
Oh, it looks like we'll have to cut our
conversation short.

Lancelot
Let us combine our forces and fight the
good fight!

Bandit Leader
Hey! Who are you?

Lancelot
I will not waste my breath on the likes of
bandits. You shall advance no further!

Bandit Leader
You've got some mouth on you, girlie. Step
aside, we've got business in that village.

Bandit Leader
Get these pests out of my sight! Take 'em
out!

Bandit A
Yaaaargh!!!

Finn
Hrraaaghh!!!

Bandit Leader
W-What was that? That was no ordinary
attack.

Bandit Leader
Ah, I get it. You're one of those clowns.
A Knight of the Round Table.

Bandit Leader
Nobody makes a fool out of me, curse or
no curse!

Finn
Curse?

Lancelot
Hmm, you just may be strong enough to be
able to stand against Gawain... Fascinating...

Bandit Leader
Time to put an end to that blathering
mouth of yours!

Bandit Leader
Get 'em, boys!

Bandits
Yaaaargh!

Lancelot
Goodness me. Here we go!

Lancelot
Time to show you the real power of the
Knights of the Round Table...

Lancelot
The real power of our curse!

Lancelot
Curse o' mine! Grant me anguish! Grant me
torment!

Lancelot
Haaa...

Finn
Lancelot!

Finn
(Is she in pain!? What happened?)

Lancelot
Haah...haah... Ahh... Hiihii...

Finn
(I'm sure she's in pain, but did she just
giggle?)

Lancelot
Uh, I drooled a little... Ahhh! Ghaaaaa!
Ahhn—

Bandit Leader
What the hell is wrong with this woman?
She's givin' me the creeps!

Lancelot
Haa... Do I...frighten you? How...rude of
me...

Lancelot
Now, taste the wrath of my curse!
Royal Swiftslash!

Bandit B
Ghaaack!

Bandit C
Gragh!

Finn
(She's moving at breakneck speed...and
attacking at the same time?)

Finn
Is this how the Knights of the Round
Table fight?

Bandit Leader
The hooded wench is too strong! But you...
I can take you out!

Finn
You're coming for me? Bring it!

Finn
Hrrargh!!!

Bandit Leader
Ngh... This one's tough too...

Lancelot
Well, Sir Knight from a distant land.
You're certainly quite strong.

Finn
Oh no, I'm nothing compared to what I
just saw you doing.

Lancelot
Do not be so humble.

Lancelot
Well, looks like we've cleaned up here.
We should wait before we alert the village.

Finn
You don't want to alert them right away?

Lancelot
Bandits don't usually come this far out,
what with the mountains in the way.

Lancelot
We should remain vigilant for at least a
little while.

Finn
(She's not just strong, she's wise with
foresight, too.)

Finn
(I'd really like to know what that giggle
was about earlier.)

Finn
Hey, Lancelot!

Finn
(No, wait. Maybe it's something
I shouldn't really pry into.)

Lancelot
What is it?

Finn
Uh, it's just...well, I've never seen such
swordsmanship even in Rigland.

Lancelot
That would be because of the curse.

Finn
Oh right, that's what the bandit said
before.

Lancelot
I will explain it all. But first...

Lancelot
Let me invite you to the home of the
Knights of the Round Table.

Lancelot
Let us head to Camelot.

The Capital—Camelot
Lancelot
Here we are!

Lancelot
Welcome to the Camelot Castle Town.

Finn
Wow, the castle district is just as lively
and vibrant as the capital in Rigland.

Lancelot
I'd like to see this Rigland of yours
someday.

Finn
We would love to have you!

Finn
(Not even Lancelot of the Knights of the
Round Table has heard of Rigland...)

Finn
(I wonder if I'll learn more about my
situation while I'm here?)

Royal Citizen A
Oh my God! It's Sir Lancelot!

Finn
(—! What a scream! Almost burst my
eardrums...)

Royal Citizen B
Sir Lancelot! I saw you at the
tournament the other day!

Royal Citizen C
Congratulations on your win!

Royal Citizen D
That last match between you and
Sir Gawain? Magnificent!

Lancelot
Oh no, that was just good luck on my part.

Lancelot
Besides, it's all thanks to the power of my
predecessors. I still have much to learn.

Royal Citizen E
Oh Sir Lancelot, don't be so modest!

Royal Citizen D
We're rooting for you for next time!

Finn
You seem to be quite popular.

Lancelot
Yes, well, I must thank all the previous
Lancelots for that.

Finn
Previous Lancelots... Do you mean you've
inherited the name Lancelot?

Lancelot
All of the Knights of the Round Table
inherit their names.

Lancelot
They have been passed down through
generations for over a hundred years.

Finn
Wow, what a tradition!

Hostile Royal Citizen A
Hmph, this weasel of a knight is as cocky
as ever.

Hostile Royal Citizen B
She's so shameless!

Finn
I take it you've inherited some bad rep
as well?

Lancelot
It is the burden I must bear as Lancelot.

Lancelot
Come on, let's hurry up to the castle.
Come with me.

Finn
(So the Knights of the Round Table
inherit their roles...)

Finn
(Things are looking more complicated
than I first anticipated.)

Finn
Could that be "the curse"...?

There was a strange sort of stillness
inside the castle.

The silence felt dangerous. Perhaps it
had something to do with the curse?

And there it was—

A perfectly round table, perfectly equal
in every way.

There were three knights seated at the
table engaged in discussion.

Kay
Tell me, Gawain. What did the horseman
have to say in such a hurry?

Gawain
Apparently King Arthur has broken
through the garrisoned forces.

Gawain
She is pushing her way further into the
south.

Gareth
That's awesome! Nothing stops our king!

Kay
She was going up against heavy
fortifications and a large army.

Kay
To think she was able to break through
them so easily...

Gawain
It should only be a matter of days before
they achieve their goal.

Gawain
We may see our king return home sooner
than expected.

Kay
I should hope so. We need all the knights
she took with her back here.

Kay
The castle has too few knights remaining
for adequate protection.

Kay
We may have two of our strongest knights,
but the rest of us are weak.

Kay
It is not an enviable position to be in,
Gareth.

Gareth
You think I don't know that already!?

Gareth
Geez Kay, you don't gotta actually say it!

Gawain
Protecting the castle is of the utmost
importance.

Gawain
King Arthur entrusted us with this task,
which means she believes we are capable.

Gawain
Do not underestimate the role we all
play here as Knights of the Round Table.

Kay
You are most certainly a shining beacon
of pride with your lofty words, o Sir Gawain.

Gawain
I do not mean to be lofty.

Kay
That is how you sound when you speak.
You should try to be a little more mindful.

Gawain
...

Gareth
Wow, way to dampen the mood.

Gareth
Geez... Where did Lancelot go, anyway?

Kay
Probably gallivanting around town as
usual.

Gawain
Yes, that sounds like something she
would do.

Gareth
Yeah...

Gareth
Come on, Lancelot! Get your butt back
here soon!

Lancelot
Sorry to keep you waiting.

Gareth
Speak of the devil! Lancelooot! ♪

Lancelot
What's with that silly welcome, Gareth?

Kay
Where have you been, Lancelot?
You know these are dire times.

Lancelot
I was patrolling the city.

Gawain
And what do you have to report?

Lancelot
Lonsbury was attacked by bandits.

Gawain
Lonsbury!?

Gawain
What happened?

Lancelot
The town is fine. I managed to secure it
with the help of this knight.

Gawain
A knight? This man standing next to you?

Finn
Hello, my name is Finn. I just happened
to be in Lonsbury when it was attacked.

Kay
You are no traveler. You hold yourself
like a man who has seen battle before.

Finn
Yes, I am a knight from Rigland.

Kay
Rigland... Where is this Rigland?

Gareth
I've never heard of a Rigland before.

Finn
It seems like most people haven't...

Finn
(I would have expected knights to be
well-informed.)

Finn
(I'm running out of leads if even these
guys haven't heard of Rigland before...)

Lancelot
Finn has proven himself on the
battlefield.

Lancelot
I'd be willing to bet that he could even go
up against me or Gawain.

Gawain
This young whelp?

Lancelot
So I propose he be made an honorary
Knight of the Round Table.

Finn
Wait, what? I can't do that!

Kay
You're willing to endorse this young man
to be a knight of Camelot?

Lancelot
In our current situation, yes. I think it
would be good to have another member.

Lancelot
If we can get the King's permission,
of course.

Gawain
That is one way to increase our strength.

Lancelot
It's a brilliant plan, yes?

Gareth
Another knight on Lancelot and Gawain's
level...

Gareth
Wait, does this mean I'll be kicked even
further down the ladder!?

Finn
(Are they not even listening to me!?)

Kay
I must say I am against it.

Kay
I do not believe people of unknown origin
should sit with us at the Round Table.

Lancelot
What makes you say that, Kay?

Kay
He could be a spy.

Gawain
There is no need for speculation, Kay.

Kay
The Capitulian Army is on the move. His
appearance now is awfully convenient.

Finn
Capitulia?

Lancelot
It's the neighboring kingdom. After many
years of war, we're currently in a truce.

Kay
Merely entered into so that Capitulia
could expand its territory in the north.

Lancelot
Has there been a change in Capitulia?

Kay
There are some unofficial rumors floating
around about expedition delays.

Kay
Rumors that say they are currently
amassing soldiers instead.

Gareth
You mean they're planning another
invasion!?

Gawain
Let's not get ahead of ourselves and invite
them to go on the attack.

Gareth
Right...

Kay
It's also awfully convenient that Camelot
is currently without its king.

Kay
Capitulia surely knows that our knights
are moving south at the moment.

Kay
But only those who sit at the Round Table
know that the King herself is at the helm.

Kay
Do you understand what I'm saying?

Lancelot
Are you suggesting that one of us has
leaked information to Capitulia?

Kay
And it is at this precise moment that you
bring us this stranger, this potential spy...

Lancelot
"Lancelot the Traitor." That's what you
mean to say, isn't it?

Kay
You know it is not just our names and our
powers that we inherit through the curse.

Lancelot
I am not my predecessor. I am my own
person, and I would never betray Camelot.

Kay
Hmm, we shall see.

Gawain
I understand where Kay is coming from.

Gawain
As the King's regent, I will handle this
matter.

Kay
What is your decision, Gawain?

Gawain
Finn of the foreign land, we shall let the
sword decide.

Finn
The sword?

Gawain
Yes. The sword does not lie.

Finn
I'm not sure I understand, but I'll do
whatever it is you need me to do!

Gawain
Good answer. This way, please.

Finn
(I complied when Gawain asked me to
follow her, but...)

Finn
Where are we?

Gawain
This is the stadium. We use it for
tournaments as well as training.

Gawain
Take that wooden sword over there.

Finn
We're not really going to fight, are we?

Gawain
Of course we are.

Gawain
I am going to judge your merit by combat.

Finn
So that's what you meant by "decide by the
sword".

Gawain
If you truly are a knight, then you will
understand.

Gawain
Corruption and virtue: the sword reveals
all.

Finn
I'm not the one who wanted to join your
order in the first place though...

Kay
Once Gawain gets an idea in her head,
there's no stopping her.

Lancelot
Go on, Finn. Show her what you can do.

Gareth
Now you're in for it! Gawain's got that
look in her eye! Do your best, newbie!

Finn
(Newbie? I'm not even recruited yet...)

Finn
Guess there's no getting around it.

Gawain
We may serve different realms, but when
it comes down to it, a knight is a knight.

Finn
Okay, as a member of the glorious Red
Dragon Knights, I accept your challenge!

Gawain
Sir Gawain, Knight of the Round Table
and acting regent of Camelot.

Gawain
Let us begin.

Finn
(Did she just disappear!?
No, here she comes!)

Gawain
—He actually blocked me?

Finn
(How does she hit so hard!? That was even
stronger than Marshal Ludmilla!)

Finn
What technique was that?

Gawain
It was not a learned technique.
This is simply how I wield the sword.

Kay
Gawain's curse grants her power from
the sun.

Kay
Her strength is multiplied so long as the
sun is out.

Finn
Power from the sun? No way, I don't believe it.

Gawain
It doesn't matter whether you believe it or
not. Let us go again.

Gawain
Hrrargh!!!

Finn
Ugh...

Finn
(I can tell she's talented. How long can I
keep dodging her?)

Finn
(What am I saying? I'm a knight! My sword
carries the hopes of my friends—)

Finn
(The tears and laughter of those who've
helped me, and those I couldn't save...)

Finn
(They're all pulsing through my sword!
I can't give up on them!)

Finn
Here I come, Gawain!

Gawain
Yes, show me what you've got.

Finn
Yaaaargh!!!

Gawain
(How is he keeping up with me? And that
swordsmanship...)

Gawain
I see.

Lancelot
Is Gawain...smiling?

Kay
I think something has dawned on her.

Gareth
She's smiling? During such a heated
battle? No waaay!

Lancelot
No, this is it.

Lancelot
This will be the final round.

Finn
Let's do it!

Gawain
You are too optimistic...

Gawain
Royal Helioslash—!

Finn
Waaah!

Finn
(My sword! She blew it right out of my
hand!)

Finn
Huff...huff...

Gawain
Your sword strikes true. You handle
yourself well.

Finn
I...lost. You are very strong, Gawain.

Lancelot
It was a close match. Wasn't it, Gawain?

Gawain
Not by a long shot.

Lancelot
You can't stand even the thought of losing,
can you?

Finn
No, she's right. I was no match for her.
Which means I'll need to train harder!

Gawain
I'm glad to hear it. And I sensed an honest
spirit from your sword.

Gawain
With focus and devotion, you too can
hone your strength.

Lancelot
So does that mean you'll accept him at
the Round Table?

Gawain
At the very least, there was no malice or
ill-intent to be found in his sword.

Gawain
I think we can allow Finn to join us at
the Round Table for a while.

Gawain
But only the King can make it officially so.

Lancelot
Well done, Finn! Isn't that great news?

Finn
Oh! That's right, this was all a trial to join
the Knights of the Round Table...

Gareth
Hooray! A temporary new recruit! Surely
this is a first for us!

Kay
Hmph, well, there's nothing more I can do.
I'll just have to stay vigilant.

Lancelot
I feel better equipped to protect the castle
in the King's absence with you here, Finn.

Finn
(What can I say? They're in a bind and
they need my help.)

Finn
(I can keep looking for a way back to
Rigland while serving Camelot.)

Another Foreign One
Jeanne
W-What is this place?

Jeanne
Why are we here?

Jeanne
I'm...s-scared...

Mikaela
Don't worry, Jeanne! You're safe with me.

Jeanne
Right, I guess I am! I'm so glad you're here,
Mikaela.

Mikaela
You just leave it to your big sister, okay?
I'll take care of you.

Mikaela
Is that footsteps? Jeanne! Someone's
coming!

Jeanne
O-Okay...!

Merlin
Oh good, we finally get to meet!

Merlin
It's okay, don't be frightened. You can
come out, I'm lost too!

Mikaela
...

Jeanne
...

Merlin
You do understand me, right?

Mikaela
I don't trust her. She seems shady.

Jeanne
Y-Yeah... Kind of...shady...

Merlin
Me? Shady? Not at all!

Merlin
My name is Merlin. Merlin the magician.
With the brains and the body to boot!

Mikaela
A likely story.

Jeanne
What do we do, sis?

Merlin
Sis? Oh my, such a sweet young girl calling
me sis!

Merlin
I guess I could amp up the big sister act
for you from now on?

Jeanne
Um...I wasn't talking to you...

Merlin
Who else would you be talking to, silly?
Don't worry, I'll get you back to town!

Mikaela
Hey! I'm the sister! Grr... I hate the fact
that people can't hear me!

Mikaela
And also, didn't she just say she was
lost too?

Mikaela
Oh good! That settles it. We ignore her.
She clearly can't be trusted.

Jeanne
But we can't ignore someone's goodwill.
Have faith, and ye shall be rewarded—

Mikaela
Not the scriptures again! Ugh, fine. Do
whatever you want.

Merlin
Ah, right! I don't think you've told me your
name yet.

Jeanne
Oh, I'm sorry! Um, my name is Jeanne.

Merlin
What a lovely, elegant name! The perfect
name for—

Jeanne
Aaah!

Merlin
Woah! What is it? Why are you shouting?
I'm not killing you with kindness, am I?

Jeanne
N-No! It's not that!

Merlin
Huh?

Monster
Graaaargh!

Merlin
Another monster!?

Jeanne
Merlin! You have to get out of here!

Mikaela
You're the one who needs to run, Jeanne!

Jeanne
I c-can't... I'm t-too scared to m-move my
legs, but we have to help Merlin!

Mikaela
Ugh, fine. This means we'll need my angel
pow—

Monster
Grooooar!

Jeanne
Eek!

Mikaela
Too late!

Merlin
Thunderous Dawnstrike!

Monster
Graaaargh!

Jeanne
Huh?

Mikaela
She killed it in just one hit?

Jeanne
Um... Thank you, Merlin.

Merlin
...

Jeanne
Um, Merlin?

Merlin
Are you really the chosen one?

Jeanne
Huh?

Merlin
Nothing! Nothing at all! ♪

Merlin
Come on, let's get out of here! We shall
head to Camelot.

Mikaela
(This Merlin is definitely hiding
something.)

Mikaela
(I'm not sure where we are or why we're
here, but I've gotta look after Jeanne!)

Jeanne
(Merlin just called me the "chosen one."
Why would she say that?)

Jeanne
(She also said "Camelot"... I feel like I've
heard of that somewhere before...)

Merlin
Come on! Camelot is this way! Follow me ♪

Jeanne
O-Okay!

Mikaela
...

Jeanne
What's wrong, Mikaela?

Mikaela
I just don't trust this Merlin, Jeanne.
There's something off about her.

Mikaela
Don't you agree?

Jeanne
Well...

Jeanne
No, we can't question someone's goodwill!

Jeanne
It's in the scriptures, right? "Ye who doubt
shall be condemned and punished."

Jeanne
We must always keep faith within our
hearts. It'll be okay.

Merlin
Hey, what's up? Are you talking to
yourself back there?

Jeanne
Um... No, I'm sorry. It's just a small
habit of mine...

Merlin
Oh, a habit you say?

Merlin
Those things can happen whenever you're
anxious or afraid.

Merlin
There's no need to worry, we should get to
town before sunset.

Jeanne
Thank you so much! Oh...but...

Merlin
Yes? You have a question? The genius
magician Merlin knows all!

Jeanne
Um, well, it could just be me...but...it feels
like we're walking deeper into the forest?

Merlin
Oops, silly me! It's this way! We should
be going this way!

Mikaela
I really don't think we should be putting
our faith in this one.

Jeanne
Hey...did you hear that?

Jeanne
...!

Spica
Uh-oh, bandits!... Oh wait, you're not
bandits? Thank goodness!

Mikaela
A child!?

Spica
The grown-ups said we beat the bandits,
so I came to look for that guy from before!

Spica
But I've been walking for so long... I think
I might be lost...

Mikaela
Of course you would be.

Jeanne
Oh, you're lost? Don't worry, we're here
now. We'll help you find your way home.

Spica
Thank you!

Spica
But what do you mean "we"? Aren't you
the only one out here?

Jeanne
Huh? I'm not alone. Merlin's here too—

Jeanne
Hey, where did she go?

Mikaela
Seriously!? Did she really just ditch us?
Where did she go!?

Jeanne
In any case, we need to get this child back
home to safety.

Spica
Thank you so much, miss! My name is
Spica!

Jeanne
I'm Jeanne. Nice to meet you, Spica.

Mikaela
We finally made it.

Jeanne
Is this where you live, Spica?

Spica
Yeah, this is Lonsbury. There's not much
to do here, but it's a nice place!

Jeanne
It looks lovely.

Spica
Hey, you must be tired from all that
walking, why don't you come to my place?

Spica
I wanna talk and play some more!

Mikaela
I mean, it's getting late. We'd better get
going or else we'll never get out of here.

Jeanne
You're right... We shouldn't stay out late.

Spica
Not even for a little while? I never get to
play with anyone...

Spica
Please, Jeanne!

Jeanne
O-Okay...if it's just for a little while...

Spica
You'll come? Hooray!

Mikaela
Are you serious, Jeanne! We're in a bit of
a pickle at the moment.

Jeanne
But he's asking so nicely, and he said he
doesn't get to play with anyone...

Jeanne
The poor thing... Look at those puppy dog
eyes...

Mikaela
Ugh, fine. Whatever.

Spica
Come on! My house is this way! I've got
some dolls we can play with!

Mikaela
Just for a little bit, remember?

Jeanne
I'm sorry, Mikaela.

Mikaela
Don't apologize for making decisions on
your own, Jeanne.

Jeanne
Okay... But still...I'm sorry.

Spica
Come on, Jeanne! Let's play with these!

Jeanne
Okay.

Spica
Look at this doll! Isn't she cute? My
mother made it for me!

Jeanne
Oh my goodness! Look at her! She is just
so adorable!

Spica
But I suppose...I'll have to get rid of her
if I want to grow up to be tough.

Jeanne
What? Why would you say that? That's
not true at all!

Spica
Really!? I can play with my dolls
and be tough when I grow up?

Jeanne
Of course you can, Spica.

Spica
Oh... Well, in that case...I guess I'll keep
her.

Jeanne
Why do you want to be tough when you
grow up, Spica?

Spica
I want to be a knight! A tough, brave
knight! Then I can protect everyone!

Jeanne
You mean the people of Lonsbury?

Spica
Yeah! I wasn't able to help out today, but
someday I'll be able to!

Spica
Hehe, don't tell anyone, okay? It's a secret.
I haven't even told my parents yet.

Jeanne
Okay, your secret's safe with me.

Jeanne
I need to become stronger too...

Spica
I'll bet you're already really strong!

Jeanne
Oh no, I've still got a long way to go...
But someday—

Mikaela
Hey, Jeanne. The sun's about to set.

Jeanne
Oh, you're right!

Mikaela
Geez, now we're going to have to spend
the night here.

Jeanne
Hey, Spica? Is there a place we can stay
in Lonsbury?

Spica
...

Jeanne
Spica?

Mikaela
Jeanne...something's wrong.

Jeanne
What do you mean?

Mikaela
I think you need to step away from Spica...
Now!

Spica?
Ghh... Aaah... Nnh...

Spica?
Aaaaaaggghhhh!!!

Demon
Groooooooargh!!!

Jeanne
S-Spica?

Mikaela
Jeanne! Step back! Now!

Demon
Grooooooar!!!

Mikaela
Jeanne, I'm taking over!

Mikaela
Oww... Hey! What do you think you're
doing to my little sister?

Jeanne
Mikaela! Stop! Don't hurt him!

Mikaela
Are you out of your mind? He's attacking
us!

Jeanne
But it's Spica!

Demon
Grooooooar!!!

Mikaela
Grr...

Mikaela
I barely blocked him...

Mikaela
We have to attack, Jeanne! Otherwise...

Jeanne
But then Spica will—

Demon
Graaaaargh!!!

Mikaela
Hyah!

Demon
Grooooooar!!!

Jeanne
He ran outside...

Mikaela
After him, Jeanne! The village is in
danger!

Jeanne
Okay...

Mikaela
What is going on?

Jeanne
No... The entire village...!?

Mikaela
Why are there so many demons all of a
sudden?

Jeanne
Where did everyone go?

Mikaela
I didn't hear any screams or sounds of a
struggle, so maybe they're hiding?

Jeanne
They're hiding? Yeah, that must be it!

Mikaela
We should hide too! God only knows what
will happen to us if we get surrounded.

Mikaela
I'm going to stay in control for a little
while longer, okay?

Jeanne
Thank you, Mikaela. And I'm sorry—

Mikaela
Just leave it to me!

Mikaela
We should be fine now that we're this far
out.

Mikaela
Urk...

Jeanne
Mikaela! What's wrong?

Mikaela
It's okay... Don't worry about me. I'm
your guardian angel, after all.

Jeanne
I'm so sorry... It must be such a burden...

Mikaela
I said there's no need to apologize to me.
I just need to rest for a bit.

Jeanne
I couldn't even help Spica when he needed
me... All I ever do is run away...

Jeanne
I can't... I can't do anything. I'm
just so completely useless...

Jeanne
I'm so sorry, Spica.

Mikaela
Jeanne...

Mikaela
(How do I make her feel better? I'm such
a terrible sister...)

Mikaela
(I wonder if Spica was a demon all along?
I didn't sense anything though...)

Mikaela
(What in the world is going on here?)

Promise of the Round Table
Gawain
Everyone, this is Finn. He is a knight from
a foreign land called Rigland.

Gawain
He will be joining us at the Round Table
on a temporary basis.

Finn
Hello everyone! I'm Finn of the Rigland
Red Dragon Knights.

Orderly A
Rigland?

Orderly B
Never heard of it.

Orderly C
He may be a knight back where he's from, but
can we trust him to sit at the Round Table?

Gawain
I can attest to his abilities. He is perfectly
fit to sit with us.

Orderly D
Well, if Sir Gawain says so!

Orderly A
Well then, that settles the matter.

Orderly B
We all know the castle is in dire need of
extra manpower right now.

Gareth
Well, now that we've finished the
introductions, let's eat!

Kay
This is far too festive.

Gareth
Oh Kay, lighten up a little! Right,
Gawain?

Gawain
We adapt as the situation demands.
Sometimes, flexibility is called for.

Gareth
You see?

Kay
Gareth, your head is as hollow as ever.
You're the loudest one here!

Gareth
Uh-oh, look out! Preacher Kay's
on the loose!

Gareth
Finn! Quick! Help meee!

Finn
Me?

Gareth
Haha, sorry about that! Eat up, Finn.
Make sure you eat loads.

Finn
Ah, of course! Thank you, Gareth!

Gareth
Finn, will you be staying with us at the
Round Table even when the King returns?

Finn
I'm afraid not. There are people waiting
for me, and things I need to do.

Gareth
Oh, that's too bad.

Gawain
I'm sure the King would love you on
board. Are you sure you won't stay?

Finn
My duty is to the Red Dragon Knights.
I'm afraid I must decline.

Gawain
Of course, you've already pledged fealty to
another. We cannot get in the way of that.

Finn
Fealty? I suppose I did swear allegiance
to Commander Astrid.

Gawain
You seem to have a lot of good people
on your side.

Gawain
A man with good connections is a man we
can trust.

Finn
Ahaha, thank you.

Finn
Hm?

Gareth
What's up, new recruit?

Finn
It's just...it feels like someone's been
watching me for a while...

Gareth
Oh, that's probably just people being
jealous.

Gareth
Gawain and Lancelot are super popular
among the orderly knights.

Kay
Or perhaps they are suspicious of you.

Gareth
There he goes, stirring the pot again.
Can't you be a little bit more tactful?

Kay
I told you I was going to remain vigilant
and I intend to keep doing so.

Kay
I don't care what Gawain or Lancelot say.

Kay
My loyalty lies with the King and with
the King alone.

Kay
Even if that loyalty is only due to the
curse upon us all.

Gawain
Kay, I think you should leave it—

Kay
I am merely speaking the truth. We are
cursed, are we not?

Kay
Tch, who made these pickles? Far too sour.
Not even fit for the dogs.

Gareth
Aw, dang it! He got away with the last word.

Gareth
Hey, wait... I made those pickles!

Finn
What is this curse Kay was speaking of?

Gareth
Lancelot never mentioned anything? Well
I suppose I could... Yeah, why not?

Gareth
It all started over a hundred years ago.

Gareth
The very first King Arthur made a pact
with a witch called Le Fay.

Gareth
Which meant the Knights of the Round
Table were gifted with amazing powers.

Gawain
But with those powers came a curse.

Gawain
They became the strongest in the land, but
the price for that was steep.

Gareth
Yeah, that's what I was about to say!

Finn
Power to surpass all, granted by a witch...

Finn
(Could it be similar to the time when I
received the Crimson Crest from Arcane?)

Finn
You mentioned a price?

Gareth
Yeah, the price was—

???
Aaaaaaah!!!

Finn
What was that! Are we under attack?

Gareth
Oh, that always happens.

Lancelot
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry. I was trying
to keep quiet back there but it echoed...

Finn
Was that you just now, Lancelot? What
happened? Are you okay?

Lancelot
I was cooking in the kitchen when some
hot oil splashed on me.

Lancelot
Boiling oil burns are really painful!
You wouldn't believe how much it hurt.

Finn
Don't you have an apron you can wear or
something?

Lancelot
An apron? Oh yes, we do have one!

Lancelot
Thanks, Finn! I never would have
thought of that!

Lancelot
I'll go put on the apron and finish my
cooking.

Gareth
In three...two...

Finn
Huh?

Lancelot
Hyiiiiii!!!

Gareth
See? There she goes.

Gawain
That Lancelot, really. Dinner time is
supposed to be a quiet time.

Finn
(Gawain is so composed. I guess that's to
be expected of the King's regent.)

Finn
Oh?

Gawain
Another plate, please.

Finn
(Gawain has a lot of empty plates in
front of her already...)

Gawain
You'd better hurry up, Finn, or else there
will be nothing left.

Finn
Did you...eat all of that food, Gawain?

Gawain
Yeah? So what?

Gawain
What's taking so long? I'll just go get my
food myself.

Gareth
Gawain loves her food. She eats the most
out of all of us, maybe even in the land!

Finn
I-Is that so...

Finn
(I guess the knights of the Round Table
each have their own little quirks.)

Lancelot
Oh, it's you, Gawain.

Gawain
Lancelot.

Lancelot
It's been a while since we've had such a
nice feast.

Gawain
Yes. It seems to have eased the tension
somewhat.

Lancelot
Finn said he can't stay with us for long.
Doesn't it concern you, Gawain?

Gawain
We can't force him to stay. You and I both
understand a knight's duty.

Gawain
We all must fight for the people who need
our protection.

Lancelot
That's true, but still, it's a shame to let go
of such talent.

Gawain
Indeed. It will be difficult to let go of such
a good sword and a good heart.

Gawain
Incidentally, he said he was looking for
Rigland, his homeland.

Lancelot
Yes, he asked me whether I knew about
Rigland as well.

Gawain
He says he got lost while wandering
about...

Gawain
I am concerned as to his reasons for
wandering about.

Lancelot
I'm sure he has his reasons.

Gawain
There are many paths one may choose in
life...

Lancelot
Yes, and I'm sure he'll tell us about his in
his own time.

Gawain
His hometown of Rigland... It must be a
faraway kingdom.

Gawain
The people of Quisse may know more
about it.

Lancelot
We can let him know about that once
the King returns.

Gawain
And he can assist us at the Round Table
until then.

Gawain
We are rather short-handed...

Lancelot
You're not usually one to complain.

Lancelot
Are you sure you're not pushing yourself
too hard?

Gawain
It's not that...

Gawain
But have you noticed anything strange
around the castle lately?

Lancelot
You mean the restlessness amongst the
knights?

Gawain
I'm not sure. Sometimes I just sense
something.

Lancelot
Maybe Kay was right...

Gawain
A spy... Why would he even mention that?

Lancelot
I'm not sure what his intentions were...

Lancelot
But I'm sure he wasn't able to speak
freely at the time.

Lancelot
Us knights have sworn fealty to the King,
and I have faith in that loyalty.

Gawain
Maybe you're right.

Gawain
To doubt a knight's loyalty is to doubt
him as a knight.

Gawain
Thank you, Lancelot. I think the fog has
cleared a little now.

Lancelot
There never was any fog. It's always
sunny with blue skies in Camelot.

Gawain
Blue skies, I do hope so. I'm counting on
you, Lancelot.

Lancelot
And I on you, Gawain.

Gawain
——!

Lancelot
Is something wrong?

Gawain
Who's there! Show yourself!

Lancelot
There's no-one here.

Gawain
Was I mistaken?

Lancelot
Gawain, you don't have to be so tense all
the time. It's okay to relax.

Gawain
I guess so...

Kay
...

Kay
No information here...

Kay
Hmph...

One Small Night
Gate Guard A
Hey! It's almost time to change the guard.

Gate Guard B
Phew, at last! I can't wait to go home and
grab a bite to eat.

Gate Guard A
Hey, what's that?

Gate Guard B
What's what?

Gate Guard A
I thought I saw a figure over there...

Gate Guard B
Is it the enemy!?

Gate Guard A
I don't think so, it's just one person. It's...
a girl?

Jeanne
H-Hello, sirs. I'm so sorry to trouble you
late at night.

Gate Guard A
Who are you! State your business! Came
here to spy, did you!?

Jeanne
S-Spy? N-No, um...

Jeanne
Uh... How can I even explain this? There
was a boy, and he was a demon, so I ran...

Gate Guard B
A boy was a demon? Are you trying to
pull my leg?

Gate Guard B
Do we need to get the old interrogation
booth ready?

Jeanne
I-Interrogation!?

Mikaela
How rude! She just told you what
happened and you're not even listening!

Mikaela
Come on, Jeanne. I'll blast these jerks
with magic and you charge inside!

Jeanne
We can't do that, Mikaela! There's no
need to be so violent...

Gate Guard A
Mikaela? Who are you talking to?

Gate Guard B
Enough! This girl gives me the creeps.
Just grab her!

Jeanne
Eek! Let me go!

Gate Guard A
Don't try to play coy! You're coming with
us!

Mikaela
What are you doing? Get your hands off
Jeanne! You'll pay for this!

Old Woman
—Wait!

Gate Guard A
Mrs. Ragnell? You're helping this shifty
stranger?

Mrs. Ragnell
She's not some shifty stranger! She's my
granddaughter!

Mrs. Ragnell
She's traveled all this way from another
kingdom, haven't you my dear?

Jeanne
Um...

Jeanne
That's right, Grandma. I'm...so glad to
finally see you!

Mrs. Ragnell
You see? Now move aside and let her
through.

Mrs. Ragnell
Or will you deny an old woman a tearful
reunion with her granddaughter?

Gate Guard A
Oh, well, when you put it that way. Please,
miss, come on through.

Gate Guard B
Hey, are you sure about this?

Gate Guard A
That old lady's got a big mouth on her.
Just imagine if we don't do as she says?

Gate Guard B
Oh yeah, not even the King could stop her
going off last time.

Mrs. Ragnell
What did you say?

Gate Guards
N-Nothing! Everything's fine!

Mrs. Ragnell
Come now, child. My sweet, precious
granddaughter.

Jeanne
Yes, Grandma.

Mrs. Ragnell
You should be safe from those oafish
guards here.

Jeanne
Um, thank you very much! You really
saved me there.

Mrs. Ragnell
Oh, it's quite all right. Those guards are
so stuffy and rude!

Mrs. Ragnell
What kind of person blocks a pretty
young girl from passing through?

Jeanne
P-Pretty? Me?

Jeanne
I'm not... I could never be...

Jeanne
Besides, the guards were right to do their
jobs and protect the people...

Mrs. Ragnell
Don't tell me you have sympathy for the
people who just tried to put you in prison?

Mrs. Ragnell
Goodness, child, have you been such a meek
thing your entire life?

Mikaela
Well said, Grandma! You should probably
think about it sometime, Jeanne.

Jeanne
You don't have to say it like that...

Mrs. Ragnell
Oh dear, pardon my words. But I can
tell you do have a sweet, kind heart.

Mrs. Ragnell
You remind me of my real granddaughter.
She's off in a faraway kingdom right now.

Mrs. Ragnell
You must be around the same age... So, I
just couldn't let those guards bully you.

Mrs. Ragnell
That's just how it is when you
become an old lady like me.

Mrs. Ragnell
Now, you must be exhausted. You
can rest for a bit at my house if you wish.

Jeanne
Oh, um, thank you!

Mrs. Ragnell
Oh, and I think you dropped this earlier.

Jeanne
Ah! My scriptures! I must have panicked
and dropped them!

Jeanne
I'm so glad I didn't lose them. Thank you
so much for everything!

Mrs. Ragnell
You don't often see a girl your age so
devoted to the scriptures.

Mrs. Ragnell
Tell you what, would you like me to show
you the local church later?

Jeanne
You would do that!? Oh, yes please!

Mrs. Ragnell
Well then, I'll go prepare some supper.
Please make yourself at home.

Mikaela
I was worried there for a second, but I'm
glad we came across this nice old lady.

Jeanne
It must be...thanks to God's will.

Mikaela
You may be right. I should know, I'm
your guardian angel, after all.

Jeanne
Oh right! We have to tell someone about
the village and what happened to Spica!

Mikaela
You'd better not, Jeanne. If we start acting
strangely, we'll be thrown out again.

Mikaela
Just leave it for now. There will be a right
place and a right time, but it's not now.

Mikaela
Just try not to stand out too much for now.

Jeanne
But, Mikaela!

Mrs. Ragnell
What's wrong? I heard shouting.

Jeanne
Oh, I'm sorry. It's nothing. There was...
just a bug...

Mrs. Ragnell
Haha, you poor, sheltered thing. Just you
wait and I'll have supper ready soon.

Jeanne
Okay.

Jeanne
She prepared a bed for us and everything.

Mikaela
She has a good heart. Let's not let her
kindness go to waste.

Mikaela
We've been walking all day. Let's not
think about anything else and just rest.

Jeanne
Yeah, good idea. We can't do anything if
we're too tired to even move.

Jeanne
I'm not sure if I can fall asleep though...

Mikaela
Shall I read you a bedtime story? Just like
old times?

Jeanne
A bedtime story!? I'm not a baby
anymore, Mikaela.

Mikaela
No need to pout! I was only joking. I don't
even have a picture book on me.

Jeanne
A picture book... That's right!

Mikaela
What is?

Jeanne
I knew I'd heard of it! It was a picture book!

Jeanne
The story about the Kingdom of Camelot...

Jeanne
A mythical kingdom at the edge of Erden
and the knights who protect it!

Mikaela
Is that right? Yes, I think I might remember
something like that...

Jeanne
So Camelot really exists? Wow, that's
amazing! Isn't it, Mikaela!

Jeanne
Maybe we're actually inside a picture book
right now!

Mikaela
You haven't got a care in the world, do
you, Jeanne? We're still lost, remember?

Jeanne
Oh, right...

Jeanne
But...where are we supposed to go?
There's no home to go back to anymore.

Jeanne
Because I have sinned... I have sinned in
a way that can never be forgiven...

Mikaela
Don't say that, Jeanne. It's not true—

Jeanne
Oh, I'm sorry, Mikaela! There I go again,
saying silly things.

Jeanne
I'd love to fall asleep listening to a story.

Jeanne
It doesn't have to be from a picture book...

Mikaela
Yeah? Well, all right. If you insist.

Mikaela
Lie down and make yourself comfortable.
Are you ready?

Mikaela
Once upon a time, in a faraway land,
there was a fair and beautiful saintess—

Let Me Get Some Rest...
Several days have passed since I joined
the Knights of the Round Table.

Our current duties are to patrol the city
and to hone our skills as knights.

"A knight seizes every opportunity to
brush up on their skills."

Those words of Gawain's reminded me of
Marshal Ludmilla...

Lancelot
All right, Finn. I will be your training
partner for today.

Finn
Oh, right... Glad to be here...

Lancelot
What's wrong? You look totally beat!

Finn
I trained with Gawain yesterday and...

Gawain
Let us begin. Are you ready?

Finn
I'm ready!

Gawain
Excellent. Strike that pillar one thousand
times.

Finn
One thousand!? O-Okay!

Finn
—Here I go! Hrraaaghh!!!

Finn
Huff...puff...999...

Finn
—One thousand!!!

Gawain
Enough! You handled the full set without
missing a step. You are indeed capable.

Finn
Thank you.

Gawain
Next, one thousand pull-ups.

Finn
Huh?

Gawain
Don't worry, we'll get to the real training
soon. This is just the warm-up.

Finn
This is...the warm-up?

Gawain
What are you waiting for, the sun to
set? We finish by sundown or no dinner.

Finn
Oh gods... She's a demon!

Finn
I don't think I can handle another day
like that...

Lancelot
Oh dear, I'm sorry.

Lancelot
I'll go easy on you today then, okay? But
not too easy, or Gawain will get mad.

Lancelot
Hmm... Why don't we take turns attacking
and defending,

Lancelot
and observe each other's movements?

Finn
Okay, that doesn't sound too bad.

Lancelot
Hehe, not too bad?

Finn
(She seems...different. She looks more...
stoic rather than gentle... So knightlike...)

Lancelot
Well...

Lancelot
Have at you!

Finn
—!?

Finn
(She's so fast!)

Lancelot
Well done, you actually managed to react.

Finn
I've never seen such speed! It's all I can do
to just keep up!

Lancelot
The fact that you can actually keep up
is a testament to your true abilities.

Lancelot
Okay, now it's your turn. Attack me.
Don't hold back, give me your best shot.

Lancelot
Come on! Hit me hard!

Finn
(Her eyes... They look even scarier than
before...?)

Lancelot
What are you waiting for? Hit me with
all you've got!

Lancelot
Come on, it's for training! For training!!!

Finn
Okay, I'll do it!

Finn
Here I go!

Finn
Hrraaaghh!!!

Lancelot
Khh... Aaaaagh!

Finn
Are you okay, Lancelot?

Lancelot
I'm fine, I can take it! Hit me again!

Finn
Are you sure? Okay, how about this!

Lancelot
Hiiii...Aaaaagh!

Finn
You are so tough. Are you made of stone or
something?

Lancelot
Haah...haah... Huh?

Lancelot
Tough...stone!?

Lancelot
Who are you calling a stone!? I'm a
woman, thank you very much!

Finn
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that!

Lancelot
...Again.

Lancelot
Hit me again. Like you mean it. Show
me that you're sorry!

Finn
(How does that make sense!?)

Finn
Okay, here I go.

Lancelot
Do it! Hit me hard!

Finn
Yaaaargh!!!

Lancelot
Aaaaaahn!!

Kay
I heard you during training today. It
sounded quite dreadful indeed.

Finn
Yeah, it was something all right.

Gareth
Well, Lancelot! Don't you just look radiant!

Lancelot
Do I? Well, I did just work out with Finn.

Gawain
Enough. Let us move on to our regular
meeting.

Gawain
First of all, the city report. Are there any
disturbances?

Gawain
Either due to the King's absence or
the neighboring Kingdom's actions?

Finn
Everyone's going about their lives as
usual.

Finn
I don't think they even realize that the King
is away.

Finn
However, some of the merchants have
sensed something different in the air.

Finn
Some have actually changed their routes
so as to completely avoid Camelot.

Gawain
So there are distribution delays?

Gareth
Oh yeah! I couldn't find my favorite bread
today. I thought they'd just sold out.

Gawain
We should look further into these
disruptions. Thank you for the report.

Gawain
Next on the agenda—

Lancelot
Before we move on, do we know what
became of Lonsbury?

Gawain
I received a report from the watchtower,
but I thought you went to see in person?

Lancelot
I didn't have time because I was on
patrol duty.

Gawain
I see. The report was from the eastern
watchtower. No signs of fighting.

Lancelot
Oh good! So the bandits haven't tried to
attack the village again!

Kay
We should have left that village to rot.

Lancelot
Kay! How can you say such a thing!

Kay
I suppose that was a rather blunt way to
put it.

Kay
But you do realize, Lancelot, that the
village was forsaken even by our king?

Kay
Well, "forsaken" is a tad misleading. I
believe her words were "Obliterate it."

Finn
What!? You mean the King of Camelot
ordered Lonsbury be destroyed?

Kay
Correct, visitor. The order was retracted
due to Lancelot's insistent pestering.

Kay
Her insistent pestering, despite our sworn
allegiance to uphold the King's orders.

Lancelot
I advised her that king or no king, no-one
can wash their hands of innocent blood.

Kay
Innocent? I don't know about that...

Gawain
That's enough, Kay. The King agreed to
leave the village alone, end of story.

Kay
Hmph.

Gawain
Let us move on from the reports. We have
a request for investigation.

Gawain
There have been reports of a monster
attacking people around the Eastern Gate.

Lancelot
A monster in the city!?

Gawain
Kay, would you look into this for us?

Kay
Just look into it and not deal with it? That
much can be done by a common soldier.

Gawain
It's just in case. Please, Kay.

Kay
I refuse. There are other matters I
must attend to.

Kay
And besides, I am not bound by anything
except for royal decree.

Lancelot
You disrespect the King, Kay. Gawain is
acting in the King's stead right now.

Kay
"Acting" being the key word here.

Kay
I swore allegiance to the King, not to
Gawain. Do not forget that.

Kay
Now, if there is nothing further, then I
shall excuse myself.

Lancelot
Kay...

Finn
Should we stop him?

Lancelot
He's not going to come sit back down just
because we tell him to.

Gareth
Geez, he really needs to learn how to read
the room.

Gawain
All right then. Gareth, can I leave the
investigation to you?

Gareth
You want me to do it? Well, I'd rather not
be left with Kay's scraps, but okay!

Gawain
And I'd like you to take Finn with you. I'm
sure he knows his way around town by now.

Gareth
Okay, we'll check if there's been any
damage as well.

Gawain
Thank you, both of you. And please be
careful of the monster.

Lancelot
Finn, Gareth, good luck out there.

Child of God
Cleric
There is peace and salvation to be found
in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Cleric
All we need to do is pray for it.

Cleric
We must devote ourselves to prayer until
the time we may ascend to the Kingdom.

Cleric
Chapter 5:26 of the Holy book teaches us
how we may be saved through prayer.

Cleric
I shall repeat this verse now—

Cleric
"Wait not for the blessing of the Lord,
but reach out to Him in prayer."

Worshippers
"Wait not for the blessing of the Lord,
but reach out to Him in prayer."

Cleric
This is such a wonderful quote. Now
come, let us bow our heads in prayer.

Mikaela
YAWN!

Jeanne
Shush, Mikaela!

Mikaela
This cleric is so stuffy. And I get such stiff
shoulders during sermons.

Jeanne
We have to be quiet inside the church.

Mikaela
It's not like anybody can hear me. What's
the big deal?

Jeanne
That may be so...but God can hear us.

Mrs. Ragnell
Who are you speaking to, dear?

Jeanne
Oh, um, no-one. I'm sorry.

Mrs. Ragnell
It's okay, dear. If there's something on
your mind, God is always willing to listen.

Jeanne
He is?

Mrs. Ragnell
Whatever troubles you have, I'm sure
God can make you feel better.

Jeanne
Maybe I should...speak to God...

Cleric
Anything you say in this booth stays
between you and God, my child.

Cleric
State your sins, and God will absolve you
of them all.

Cleric
You don't have to say them out loud.
Speak with your heart, and God will hear.

Cleric
Now, what is it you would like to confess?

Jeanne
My sins...

Jeanne
(I can't even find the right words. My
mind is all jumbled up.)

Mikaela
It's okay, Jeanne. You've been through so
much.

Mikaela
Remember, you don't have to say it out
loud, but make sure you get it all out.

Jeanne
Mikaela...

Jeanne
Dear God, I have sinned.

Jeanne
My sin...

Jeanne
I let her die...

Jeanne
I let my sister die—

Jeanne
I grew up in a small kingdom to the north.

Jeanne
I was always a weak child...and my sister,
Mikaela, always had to look out for me.

Jeanne
My sister was strong and dependable.
I really looked up to her.

Jeanne
Whenever I'd get bullied by the others,
she'd always spring to my defense.

Jeanne
And then she even joined the royal knights!

Jeanne
One day, I was praying in church, like I
usually do.

Jeanne
And then I heard a voice...

Jeanne
I'm sure it was your voice. The voice of
God.

Jeanne
I'd heard "voices" before. "Voices" that
don't belong to the people around me...

Jeanne
But this was the first time I'd ever heard
your voice.

Jeanne
You told me, "The enemy will set a trap,
and the world will plunge into war."

Jeanne
You said, "The kingdom will perish."

Jeanne
My blood ran cold. All I could feel was my
heart pounding in my chest.

Jeanne
My mind went blank. I'd never experienced
anything like that in my life.

Jeanne
If there was a war coming...what would
that mean for Mikaela?

Jeanne
She was a royal knight, sworn to protect
the kingdom. What would become of her?

Jeanne
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me.
I had to tell the King!

Jeanne
But I was turned away at the gate.

Jeanne
They said I spoke with the devil...
That I was a heretic!

Jeanne
They yelled at me and called me all sorts
of names and I got so scared...

Jeanne
And then I didn't do anything.

Jeanne
I never heard your voice again.

Jeanne
I told myself that it probably never really
was you to begin with.

Jeanne
But then a war did break out... So many
people died...

Jeanne
One of them...was my sister.

Jeanne
If only I had stood my ground that day...
If only I weren't such a coward!

Jeanne
Maybe I could have prevented the war.
Maybe nobody had to lose their loved ones.

Jeanne
And maybe my sister...would still be
alive...

Jeanne
I'm...so sorry...

Jeanne
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry—

Jeanne
I'm so useless! I couldn't help anyone!
I hate myself for being such a coward!

Mikaela
No, Jeanne.

Jeanne
Mikaela... You heard what I said? But I
wasn't speaking out loud...

Mikaela
Maybe it's because you were praying to
God. I heard you with my heart.

Mikaela
Jeanne, I'm proud of you.

Mikaela
You can hear the voice of God!

Mikaela
You have such a gentle heart. I'm sure
that's why God chose you.

Jeanne
But I couldn't save you—!

Mikaela
I don't regret dying on the battlefield.

Mikaela
Protecting the kingdom means protecting
the people who live in the kingdom.

Mikaela
That includes you, my sweet little sister.
That's why I have no regrets.

Jeanne
Oh Mikaela...

Mikaela
You have the power to save people, you
just have to prove it to them. Right?

Jeanne
Okay! Thank you... Mikaela!

Mikaela
There there, good girl. Remember, I'm
always on your side.

Jeanne
(She's right. I have to look forward, not
backward.)

Jeanne
(I can never erase my past sins, but I can
move on despite them.)

Cleric
Are you finished, child?

Jeanne
Yes, thank you.

Cleric
Then God has absolved you of your sins.
Let us pray together.

Jeanne
Dear God, please watch over us...

Jeanne
Please guide us into the future...

Mrs. Ragnell
Well now, don't you look radiant?

Jeanne
Yes, I feel a little better. I can't erase the
past, but I feel like I can move on.

Mrs. Ragnell
I'm glad to hear it. Humans are sinful by
nature, but God can always forgive us.

Mrs. Ragnell
I'm sure one day you will feel it too.

Jeanne
Do you really think so? I hope it's true...

Mrs. Ragnell
Oh, child? Are you...glowing?

Jeanne
Huh? W-Woah! I really am glowing!

Jeanne
This is just like what happened back then...

Mikaela
Jeanne! Are you okay?

Jeanne
Mikaela...I heard the voice again...
The voice of God...

Mikaela
Really? What did it say?

Jeanne
Camelot—

Jeanne
—Is going to be destroyed soon.

Bond of a Hundred Years
Gareth
The monster is supposed to be around
here. Wanna split up and ask around?

Finn
Good idea. Let's focus on trying to find any
victims.

Finn
We'll need to organize a strike team if the
monster is still out here.

Gareth
Let's find out everything we can before
it's too late!

Finn
Okay, I'll go this way, you go that way.

Gareth
On it!

Gareth
Hi Finn! Are you done? What did you
find?

Finn
I talked to one of the victims. He had some
sort of a scratch on his back.

Gareth
Nice! I got some information too!

Finn
The victim I spoke with is a local
craftsman.

Finn
He'd gotten into a fight with his wife and
was drinking pretty heavily on the day.

Finn
He was attacked on his way home.

Gareth
And the victim I spoke with is a young
man who works at a residential lodge.

Gareth
He'd brought a girl up to his room. The
devil was having an affair!

Gareth
When his girlfriend caught them, all hell
broke loose.

Gareth
He lost his job and his lover, and then in
the streets, the monster pounced on him.

Gareth
Do you think it's mean to say I think he
deserved it?

Gareth
And the third victim, she seems to have
been a runaway.

Finn
All three victims had troubles in their
private lives...

Gareth
Hey, you're right! But everyone's got
problems, don't they?

Gareth
Everyone's got something they keep
deep inside...

Finn
The way you say that sounds like you've
got something particular in mind.

Gareth
Well, I mean, I just thought a brooding
knight would be kinda cool, no?

Finn
Haha, if you say so!

Gareth
Oh! There's something else the monster
victims had in common.

Gareth
They were both attacked in the same
place.

Finn
Were they attacked in that back alley
down there?

Gareth
So they're all the same!

Gareth
Maybe that's where the monster's hiding?

Finn
Maybe, let's go check it out!

Gareth
Yeah, let's go!

Finn
It's just an ordinary back alley. Doesn't
look like there's a monster hiding here.

Gareth
We could wait around for a little while?
Whatever it is might show up.

Finn
We're supposed to just be investigating.
We should report back our findings.

Gareth
What? Don't be such a scaredy-cat!

Gareth
I'll have you know that I, Sir Gareth, came
second in the fighting tournament!

Finn
Oh? I thought Gawain came second...

Gareth
I was definitely second, even if it was
second to last! ♪

Finn
...We'd better report what we've
discovered so far.

Gareth
Hang on! We should at least find out what
the monster looks like!

Gareth
Otherwise Kay will just chew us out
again...

Finn
Well, I suppose we haven't exactly confirmed
that the monster really is here yet...

Gareth
Right! Right!

Finn
All right, let's wait around a little longer.

Finn
We'll head back to the castle once we have
something more solid to report.

Gareth
That's the spirit! Let's hide over there...

Gareth
It's a little snug...

Finn
We don't want to be seen by the monster,
so the more cover, the better.

Gareth
It's a good thing we didn't bring Lancelot
with us. Imagine the three of us here...

Finn
By the way, Lancelot seemed really
concerned about Lonsbury.

Gareth
Of course she's concerned. That's just
who she is.

Gareth
She's selfless. Or rather, she's charitable.
Can't be easy to live that way.

Finn
She also mentioned being called a
traitor.

Gareth
Yeah...

Gareth
Well, seeing as you're one of us now, I
guess it's okay to let you in on it.

Gareth
Over a hundred years ago, the original
Lancelot betrayed us all.

Gareth
He ran off with the original King Arthur's
wife.

Finn
You mean they had an affair?

Gareth
They did. And what's more, Lancelot
murdered the knights who chased them.

Gareth
Blindsided by love, I guess you could say?

Gareth
The kingdom was on the brink of collapse,
and the Round Table was split in two.

Gareth
One side supported King Arthur, and the
other side supported Lancelot.

Finn
So that's where the "traitor" comes from.

Finn
But the Lancelot we know today has
nothing to do with any of that!

Finn
The people trust her, and she must be the
most compassionate person out there.

Gareth
Our curse makes us inherit everything,
including our predecessors' feelings...

Gareth
There are still some people who just
cannot forgive Lancelot.

Gareth
And some of them, like Kay, are really
candid about their feelings.

Finn
Inherited feelings...

Finn
(So Lancelot is bound to the crimes of
the past even to this day.)

Finn
(Can we ever make up for the sins of our
past?)

Meow!

Finn
Was that...?

Gareth
A kitty! Where are you, kitty?

Finn
There it is, towards the back of the alley.

Gareth
There you are! I don't see any monsters
around, let's go pet it!

Gareth
Hi there, kitty! What are you doing here?
Are you hungry?

Cat
Meow!

Gareth
Good kitty. Wow, you're a big boy, aren't
you?

Finn
Is it a stray? It looks a little too well kept
to be a street cat.

Finn
(Hey, it's got some discoloration on its
claws. They're all black...)

Finn
Is that blood on its paws?

Gareth
Have you been in a fight, little kitty?

Finn
I don't think that's cat blood. I think it
came from something bigger...

Gareth
Maybe it fought something bigger than a
cat? Was there anything like that nearby?

Finn
(Lots of blood on the cat's paws... In this
back alley... No way!)

Finn
Get away from it, Gareth! I think that's—

Gareth
Waah!?

Cat?
Mrrroooow...

Magical Beast
Rooooooooar!!!

Finn
It's huge! Look at the claws and the fangs
on that thing!

Finn
Is this the monster we've been looking
for!?

Gareth
Could it be the legendary...Cath Paluc?
The ferocious feline, the black beast!?

Cath Paluc
Mrrrroooooar!!!

Finn
(It's too quick! Gotta be careful of those
claws!)

Finn
(We can't run, it'll only try to chase us.)

Finn
(And that could lead to more victims!)

Gareth
Finn! Stay back! I'm going to use my
powers!

Finn
Can you beat it?

Gareth
I'm not sure, but I've gotta try!

Finn
(Is that...Gawain's stance?)

Gareth
Royal Helioslash!

Cath Paluc
Mrrrreeeeooow!!!

Gareth
Huff...huff... It didn't work?

Finn
(It wasn't as strong, but that was clearly
Gawain's move. Is this Gareth's power?)

Gareth
Darn... It's not as good...

Cath Paluc
Mrrrrooooow!!!

Finn
This is bad, Gareth!

Gareth
Is this...the end? I'm so sorry, sis...

???
Don't give up yet—

???
Royal Helioslash!

Cath Paluc
Mrrrraaaaw!!!

Gawain
Phew, I'm glad I made it in time.

Finn
Gawain! What are you doing here?

Gawain
Somebody reported hearing a monster
around here.

Gawain
I was already in the area as I had business
with the Trade Association.

Gareth
You really saved our skins!

Gareth
Thank you, sis—I mean, Gawain.

Gawain
I told you to just investigate. Why were you
trying to fight it?

Finn
We wanted to find some solid proof that
the monster existed.

Finn
Sorry for getting too carried away.

Gawain
No, I should not be so harsh. I should at
least praise you for locating the monster.

Gawain
But you need to be careful. Cath Paluc's
true form is much stronger than this.

Finn
Its true form? What was it just now?

Gawain
Something like its spirit. The cat was
merely possessed.

Gawain
I did not kill the monster itself, only its
spirit residing in the cat.

Cat
Meow!

Gawain
Now it's just a regular cat again.

Finn
You're right. Its claws and teeth are back
to normal size.

Gawain
And Gareth, stop calling me sister.

Gawain
Our predecessors may have been brothers,
but we are not related.

Gareth
!

Gareth
Oh come on, don't be so embarrassed!

Gareth
So what if we're not related? We can still
be sisters!

Gareth
Besides, you sure got here super quick.
You were worried about me, weren't you?

Gawain
...Quiet.

Gawain
Besides, if you trained a little more, your
power could surpass even the real deal.

Gawain
You've been slacking, Gareth. You should
practice as soon as we get home.

Gawain
I'll even prepare a special nightmare-level
training regimen just for you.

Gareth
A nightmare regimen!? Oh Gawain, please
have mercy!

Finn
(The serious older sister, and the spirited
little sister... They do seem like siblings.)

Finn
(Better not say it out loud, or Gawain will
bite my head off...)

Gawain
Leaving Gareth aside for now.

Gawain
There was something strange about that
spirit just now.

Gawain
Gareth may be lacking in her training,
but she should have at least hurt it.

Gareth
Doesn't the Cath Paluc get bigger by
absorbing negative emotions?

Gawain
Yes, so I've heard...

Finn
Could there be a place full of negative
energy around here?

Gawain
A whirl of hatred and grief... It's not
inconceivable. Rather, it sounds rational.

Gareth
Hey, look! Over there!

Finn
There's smoke up in the mountains!?

Gawain
This is bad... That's where Lonsbury is!

Finn
It's not far from here, let's go!

Gawain
Yeah, let's go!

Finn
What is this?

Gawain
Hide! Before they see us!

Gareth
Finn! This way!

Finn
The town is on fire? Is it the bandits
again?

Gawain
No, this is the work of the Capitulian
Army.

Finn
The neighboring kingdom set fire
to the village!?

Gareth
Look! They're taking the villagers away!

Gawain
The scum!

Finn
Could the Cath Paluc have absorbed all
the negativity from here?

Gawain
That's probably it.

Finn
We have to help them!

Gawain
Calm down, Finn! Look around us!

Gawain
There are too many soldiers to take out at
once.

Gawain
We'll just end up captured.

Gawain
And General Bruno is in command. He'd
take us down in a heartbeat.

Gawain
He's a warmongering tyrant, and a
competent one at that.

Gareth
How can you stay so calm, Gawain?

Gareth
Don't you care about the villagers!?

Gawain
Of course I care. Which is why we need to
have a plan.

Gawain
Those who have power must use it for
good, not look for an excuse to show off.

Finn
I think she's right. We can't let our
emotions guide our decision-making.

Gareth
But, Finn!

Finn
We're not going to save anyone by making
our move right this instant.

Finn
Let's not have them die in front of us now
when we know we can save them later.

Gareth
...

Gawain
They won't slaughter without reason, and
I doubt the villagers will resist.

Gareth
Okay, I'll calm down.

Finn
Don't worry, we'll save the villagers. We
must save them.

Finn
(I can't let anyone else die in front of me.
That was my sin, and my punishment—)

Bruno
Grr... Those bloody bandits can't do anything
right!

Bruno
To think I had to come all the way to this
puny village myself!

Bruno
Argh, I hate this!

Bruno
Come on, move it, you dogs! Quickly now!
Try anything funny and you're dead meat!

Bruno
I ordered you to move SO MOVE!!!

Perishing Future
Lancelot
What shall we do with her?

Kay
She is clearly using this opportunity
to plot against the kingdom.

Kay
We shall interrogate her, and then she
will be sentenced to death.

Lancelot
Is that really necessary? She's just one girl.

Kay
And if this is the work of the neighboring
kingdom? All it takes is one conspirator...

Lancelot
...

Lancelot
Would you please tell us again the events
leading up to this girl's capture?

Soldier
The girl was standing outside the church.

Soldier
A citizen reported she was emitting
a strange light.

Soldier
Another report stated she was glowing
and saying "Destroy the kingdom."

Jeanne
I-It's not what you think!

Jeanne
I was receiving a message from God!

Kay
A message?

Kay
What a flimsy excuse for a foreigner with
dangerous ties to neighboring kingdoms.

Jeanne
D-Dangerous! I could never be dangerous!

Lancelot
Do you think she could be that magician?

Kay
The magician...but he is male.

Lancelot
Well, it wouldn't be unfathomable for him
to change his appearance or his sex.

Kay
You mean feign ignorance and just waltz
right up to us?

Kay
Tch, what a horrible thought...

Jeanne
Um, excuse me... You're knights, aren't
you?

Jeanne
If so, then please, listen to me!

Jeanne
If you don't, then the kingdom will—

Kay
Are you still talking? I've heard enough
from you.

Kay
Gag her! I don't want to hear her trickery.

Mikaela
Why you... I am so sick of you! Why don't
you shut your own god damn mouth!?

Jeanne
Mikaela! Stop!

Lancelot
Kay, a gag is too far. Please, retract your
order.

Kay
Excuse me?

Kay
Your leniency is exasperating. You'd better
watch yourself, Lancelot the Traitor!

Lancelot
Chide me if you must, but the girl has
not actually committed a crime yet.

Lancelot
Inhumane orders and interrogations go
against the Code of Chivalry.

Kay
Hmph.

Kay
Throw her in a cell, that should
be sufficient.

Soldier
Yes sir!

Lancelot
Thank you, Kay.

Kay
This isn't for you. I am merely following
the Code.

Lancelot
Still, thank you.

Kay
Tch, dastardly fiend.

Kay
Destroy the kingdom, huh?

Kay
Perhaps the best thing to do from here is
to stay on the lookout.

Kay
An ambush could be hiding right under our
noses, under the guise of innocent loyalty.

Kay
Am I right, Lancelot?

Lancelot
What are you saying?

Kay
What do you think I'm saying?

Gareth
There you are, you two! Woah... You could
cut the air with a knife in here...

Gareth
Anyway, that's not important!

Gawain
I'm calling an urgent meeting! Everyone
to their seats at the Round Table!

Lancelot
What is it? What's all this rush?

Gawain
We spotted the Capitulian Army taking
the villagers of Lonsbury captive.

Lancelot
What!? We have to—

Gawain
Wait, Lancelot. General Bruno is there,
and he has an entire battalion with him.

Lancelot
You expect me to sit here and do nothing?

Kay
Look at the big picture. Our best soldiers
are out on the King's expedition.

Kay
Do you really think we can attack them
head on with our current forces?

Finn
I understand how you must be feeling,
Lancelot.

Finn
I'd like nothing better than to run over
there and help everyone out right now.

Lancelot
That's what I want to do!

Gawain
We all feel the same way, Lancelot. But
we need to come up with a plan first.

Gawain
I think they're attacking Lonsbury to use
it as an encampment.

Gawain
Lonsbury is a great strategic point, being
just outside of Camelot.

Gareth
That's true...

Lancelot
I hate to admit it, but I see your point.

Lancelot
I understand your decision, but I will not
let the villagers die.

Finn
Of course not, we'll save them!

Finn
(I'll make sure to save everyone this time.
So that nobody has to suffer...)

Finn
(That must be why I'm here!)

Kay
So the kingdom is in danger...

Kay
Perhaps that girl from before was
speaking the truth?

Jeanne
Eeeek!

Mikaela
What's wrong, Jeanne?

Jeanne
S-Sorry, it was just some water splashing.

Mikaela
Don't scare me like that! Are you doing
okay? You're not cold, are you?

Jeanne
Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks, Mikaela.

Jeanne
And, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I got us
thrown in here.

Mikaela
I'm your guardian angel, Jeanne. I told
you you don't have to worry.

Jeanne
But still...I'm sorry. It's all because I
heard the voice of God again...

Mikaela
You're special, Jeanne. The only one who
can hear the voice of God is you.

Mikaela
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I
am so incredibly proud of you.

Mikaela
So please don't ever feel bad about your
ability.

Jeanne
Okay...

Mikaela
And those knights back there... They were
unusually strong.

Mikaela
I could tell even without having to fight
them.

Jeanne
They're the Knights of the Round Table,
the knights who protect this kingdom.

Mikaela
Well, I guess we wouldn't have stood a
chance even if I'd taken over, right?

Mikaela
Surely the kingdom's safe with knights
like them around?

Jeanne
But God told me it would be destroyed. I
don't think even these knights can help...

Jeanne
I...I don't want to run away! I don't
want this kingdom to suffer!

Jeanne
I'm sick of being someone who can't help!
I don't want to be that way anymore!

Mikaela
I know, Jeanne. I knew you'd say that.

Mikaela
I'm going to help you, so you just do your
best!

Jeanne
Yes! I will!

Kay
Who are you talking to, strange girl?

Mikaela
Hey, it's that nasty knight from before!

Mikaela
Here to mess with Jeanne again, are you?
Why don't we get you locked in here!

Jeanne
A-Are you here to interrogate me?

Kay
I can, if you want me to.

Jeanne
N-No thank you!

Kay
I thought as much. Now, tell me
the prophecy you heard.

Jeanne
Huh...?

Kay
Tell me everything, down to the very last
detail. You're still on thin ice here.

Jeanne
O-Okay! Well, it went like...

Jeanne
"In two days, look to the west. The black
army shall destroy the kingdom."

Kay
In two days... Look to the west...

Kay
I see...

Mikaela
Well, there he goes.

Mikaela
Seriously? He came all this way just to
hear the prophecy!?

Kay
(This prophecy... It may be worth
considering further...)

Kay
Curses, why must this all happen to me?
And I've still got to find that spy.

Kay
I'm starting to think this is all due
to this wretched curse.

Kay
Hey, we're on castle grounds here. Put
those swords back in their scabbards.

Kay
Why are your eyes all bloodshot...?

Orderlies
Haah... Hyaaaaaah!!!

Kay
So that's how it is going to be... I will show
you no mercy!

Traitorous Orderly A
Agh!

Traitorous Orderly B
Ghaah!

Traitorous Orderly C
Urk... H-He's too strong...

Kay
Hmph...

Kay
Such a shame... To think that there were
rats among the glorious Camelot's orderlies.

???
Yes... It truly is such a shame...

Kay
...!

Kay
Ghh...

Kay
Impossible...

???
Kay, the Serpent of the Shadows,
is no more.

???
Heh... Haha...

Kay
So it was...you all along...

Kay
Traitor...

Kay
Khh... The Serpent...of the Shadows...

Kay
Does not give up...until the very end...

Kay
Royal Spitstrike!

Kay
Ghh...haa...

Kay
Forgive me...

Kay
My...king...

Unending Punishment
Lancelot
Hiyah! Hah!

Lancelot
Yaaargh!

Finn
You're really putting your all into that,
Lancelot.

Lancelot
Oh, Finn... I'm sorry, was I being too loud?

Finn
Not at all. I assumed you must be worried
about the village and getting it all out.

Lancelot
You knew I was worried? Hmm... Of
course you did.

Lancelot
You must have a knack for charming
people, Finn.

Finn
You think...?

Lancelot
Hehe, hopefully you don't have a band of
women bawling their eyes out over you.

Finn
Uh, well, I'm not sure about that...

Lancelot
Heh heh, it was just a joke.

Lancelot
Yes, you're right. I'm worried about the
village.

Lancelot
The villagers are all actually former
knights of Camelot and their descendants.

Finn
So they're all cursed as well?

Lancelot
Yes, when the witch Le Fay cast her spell,
she put a curse on us all.

Lancelot
In exchange for our powers, we inherit our
names, memories and feelings...

Lancelot
And we must also never, ever go against
the Chivalry Code.

Lancelot
The people of Lonsbury did not want to fight,
and they fled to the mountains.

Lancelot
They may have fled the battle, but they
could not escape from the curse...

Finn
What happened to them?

Lancelot
When night falls, they turn into demons.
That is their punishment for disobedience.

Finn
Demons!? You mean they're not human
anymore?

Lancelot
That is correct. They become demons in
both body and mind.

Lancelot
There is at least one silver lining.

Lancelot
When the sun rises again, the villagers
forget what happened during the night.

Lancelot
To be turned into a demon for the actions of
your forefathers... I felt sorry for them.

Lancelot
I wanted them at least to have a place
to live out the rest of their lives.

Lancelot
That's why I urged the King to reconsider
her orders against the village.

Finn
So that's what happened with Lonsbury...

Lancelot
...

Lancelot
I often wonder...

Lancelot
Maybe I'm just a hypocrite.

Lancelot
Maybe the only reason I did it was to
feel better about my own crimes.

Lancelot
Maybe that's the only reason why I want
to save the villagers.

Lancelot
Maybe it's all just an excuse for me to hide
from the guilt I've inherited as Lancelot.

Lancelot
It's because I'm selfish. That's the only
reason...

Lancelot
It makes me want to just crawl into a
hole and die...

Finn
Lancelot...

Finn
I think people can only make up for their
mistakes by working to help others.

Lancelot
To help others?

Finn
Uh, well, it's not some sort of concrete
philosophy I've got or anything...

Finn
I have moments in my past that I am not
proud of.

Finn
People needed my help, and I wasn't able
to save them.

Finn
I couldn't even count with my fingers...

Finn
the number of people who have died before
my very eyes...

Finn
I carry that with me even today.

Finn
I'm always asking myself, "What can I do
to make up for it all?"

Finn
But there's not much you can do for
someone who's already dead.

Finn
In the end, all you can do is help the
people who are with you here and now.

Finn
If there are people who I can help,
I will do whatever it takes.

Finn
I'm sure that's what the people who have
already died would have wanted!

Finn
At least that's what I like to tell myself.
Even if it is hypocritical of me.

Lancelot
Hypocritical of you...to help others?

Lancelot
But helping others is the right thing to do.
As both knights and human beings!

Finn
So you see? You're just like me, Lancelot.

Finn
You can't change the past. You can't and
you shouldn't bring the dead back to life.

Finn
You can't undo what the Lancelot of the
past has done.

Finn
Which is why our actions have to be for
the people of the here and now.

Finn
It may feel self-righteous, but it's to make
up for what we've done—

Lancelot
Living on to make up for past crimes...
That sounds like a punishment, doesn't it?

Finn
It may be.

Lancelot
Hehe, I feel a little lighter now.
Thank you, Finn.

Lancelot
I'm going to keep being hypocritical so
that I can make up for the past.

Finn
Yeah, me too. I'll help people now in
exchange for those I couldn't help before.

Finn
Heh, we're getting a little preachy here,
I think.

Lancelot
Hehe, you sound just like the local priest.

Gawain
There you are, Lancelot!

Lancelot
Oh, it's you, Gawain. What's wrong?

Lancelot
You look like you mean business...

Gawain
Kay has been stabbed.

Finn
What!?

Lancelot
Kay!? Where? By who?

Gawain
Don't give me that innocent act.

Lancelot
What do you mean?

Gawain
We have witnesses. You can't weasel
your way out of this one.

Finn
Wait a minute... Gawain, are you
suggesting that Lancelot is the culprit?

Gawain
Quiet, Finn. Stay out of this.

Finn
No, I won't be quiet! Lancelot can't be
the culprit!

Gawain
You think I want to believe it?

Gawain
You think I want to believe that Lancelot
was the traitor all along!?

Lancelot
You say you have witnesses?

Gawain
A couple of orderlies. They saw the whole
thing.

Orderly Witness A
Yes! I saw it! It was definitely Lancelot's
move!

Orderly Witness B
I saw it too! Lancelot is the only one who
can wield a sword with such speed!

Gawain
Thank you.

Gawain
There are more orderlies who saw it
happen in addition to these two.

Gawain
Kay's wound also bears the marks of
your powers.

Finn
That can't be!

Lancelot
So there is nothing I can say that will
prove my innocence?

Gawain
I...am not here to hear it.

Lancelot
I see...

Gawain
I truly appreciated your dedication to the
Chivalry Code.

Gawain
I thought it would be enough to keep
the curse of the first Lancelot at bay...

Gawain
But you were just like him all along. It is so
unfortunate...and so frustrating...

Lancelot
...

Gawain
I'm going to be frank with you.
You are surrounded.

Gawain
Will you run? Will you murder us like the
last time? I'm sure you have it in you.

Lancelot
With you and Finn standing before me?
You give me too much credit, Gawain.

Finn
Lancelot, you can't—

Lancelot
I will not put up a fight. Please, do what
you must.

Gawain
Take her to the cells and lock her up tight.

Orderly A
At once!

Finn
Do you really believe Lancelot was
behind it?

Gawain
I told you to stay out of this, Finn. Or you
will follow her to the cells.

Finn
—!

Gawain
How did it come to this? Kay... Lancelot...
Why?

Duel Under the Moon
Gawain
Kay is no longer at the Round Table.

Gawain
And neither is Lancelot...

Gawain
If the enemy were to attack right now,
could I defend the castle?

Gawain
The King's "regent"... Kay was right.

Gawain
I am not the King. I don't have her
presence...

Gawain
I wasn't up to the task after all.
I am a failure...

Gareth
That's not true!

Gawain
Gareth? Where were you all this time?

Gareth
I just had an errand to run...

Gareth
But Gawain, you're the King's right-hand
woman! I know that better than anyone.

Gareth
You're too serious and way too stubborn, but
you always look out for everyone.

Gareth
I'd have you as my king any day!

Gawain
No, I'm not even fit to be a regent.

Gareth
See? I told you you were stubborn. Don't
worry, Gawain. I'm on your side.

Gawain
Heh, Gareth's on my side? Lucky me...

Gareth
Oh come on, I'm trying to cheer you up!
I'll train night and day just for you!

Gawain
Well in that case... I'll be counting on you,
Gareth.

Gawain
You and I need to protect this castle until
the King returns.

Gareth
So Lancelot really was a traitor, huh.

Gawain
She was... It is most regrettable.

Gareth
Regrettable? Why? She was Lancelot
the Traitor, after all.

Gareth
If anything, I'm glad that it's all out
in the open. It's no surprise.

Gawain
What do you mean?

Gareth
What do you mean "what do you mean"?
You hated her too, right? Lancelot the Traitor.

Gareth
She was always so goody-goody on the
outside...

Gareth
But on the inside she was plotting, and
always one step ahead of us.

Gareth
I was so sick of her. I wish she'd betrayed
us sooner.

Gareth
You hated her too, right? Didn't you hate
her, sis?

Gareth
You couldn't possibly have thought about
forgiving her, could you?

Gareth
She killed your si— She killed Gareth all
those years ago!

Gareth
Gawain... Sis... Don't tell me you care
more about Lancelot than your own sister?

Gareth
You can't! That's not possible! You're
supposed to care for your sister! For me!

Gareth
You care more about me, right? Just like
you did back then?

Gawain
Gareth, calm down! What are you talking
about?

Gawain
You're talking about the original Lancelot
and Gareth. That's in the past.

Gawain
Why are you bringing that up now?

Gareth
Hehe... At last, you really see me. You
really are...the...bes...t... Ugh...

Gawain
Gareth! You're bleeding!

Gawain
That wound... Is that...a trace of Kay's
power...?

Gareth
Darn... He really was...persistent...

Gawain
Persistent?

Gawain
Gareth, don't tell me... It was you!?

Gawain
No matter! You need a medic!

Gareth
Sis...I...

Gawain
It's all right, don't try to talk. We can talk
all you want later.

Gareth
Hehe, sis...

Gawain
Stay with me, Gareth!
—Gareth!!!

Lancelot
Is...

Lancelot
Is someone over there?

Jeanne
Oh, um, y-yes?

Lancelot
Oh thank goodness. I'm so glad to have
someone to talk to.

Lancelot
It's so dark I can't see you. Are you the
girl with the prophecy from earlier?

Jeanne
Yes. My name is Jeanne.

Lancelot
Oh... Well, I'm sorry for what happened
to you before.

Jeanne
Um, are you... Are you one of the knights
from before?

Lancelot
Yes, and now I've been thrown in here for
a crime I didn't commit.

Lancelot
Heh, I just can't seem to escape from the
sins of the past, can I?

Jeanne
God sees who you truly are. I'm sure there
will come a time when you can atone.

Lancelot
Yeah, I really hope you're right.

Lancelot
That prophecy of yours, it might actually
be true. The kingdom may fall to its knees.

Jeanne
I...I haven't given up yet... I want to help
the people of this kingdom!

Lancelot
You're... You're right! I won't give up
either!

Gawain
Is that the truth?

Lancelot
Of course, Gawain. Have you come to
interrogate me?

Gawain
No.

Gawain
Gareth has been stabbed as well.

Lancelot
Gareth too!? Is she all right?

Gawain
Her wound is serious, but I think she'll pull
through. She's receiving treatment now.

Lancelot
I'm glad to hear it.

Gawain
It looks like her wound came from Kay's
curse.

Lancelot
Kay's curse?

Gawain
His powers have a delayed effect, just
like snake venom.

Gawain
Lancelot... Are you really innocent in all
of this?

Lancelot
I swear on the King's life, I did not kill
Kay.

Gawain
I see... Perhaps you are telling the truth...

Gawain
Gareth said it herself. I am just too
stubborn.

Gawain
It is not easy for me to go back on a
decision that I already made.

Lancelot
You're consistent. That is why the Knights
of the Round Table put their trust in you.

Gawain
So you understand that this is difficult
for me.

Lancelot
Then why not decide the chivalrous way?
Let the sword judge what's in our hearts.

Lancelot
Perhaps that is the only way.

Gawain
It is...the only way.

Gawain
Sir Lancelot, I challenge you to a duel.

Lancelot
Sir Gawain, I accept your challenge.

Finn
Now you're going to duel each other!?

Gawain
Finn, you shall bear witness.

Lancelot
We're counting on you, Finn.

Finn
I don't mind being here, but...

Gawain
Don't hold back, Lancelot.

Lancelot
You too, Gawain. Come at me with all
you've got.

Gawain
Of course.

Finn
(Why a duel all of a sudden? It looks like
this fight is really important to them...)

Finn
(In which case, as an honorary Knight of
the Round Table, I'd better not interfere.)

Finn
All right then. Ready, steady...

Finn
Go!

Lancelot
The first move is mine!

Gawain
Ugh... You are quick—but watch!

Finn
(Such decisive, heavy blows! They're both
just missing each other by a hair!)

Finn
The offense and the defense... This is so
incredible...

Lancelot
How about this!

Gawain
Ngh!

Finn
(I guess Lancelot has the upper hand
because she has made more moves...)

Lancelot
Come on, Gawain! Show me what you're
really made of!

Gawain
Grr... What do you mean?

Lancelot
I told you not to hold back! This is a duel,
remember?

Gawain
You think I'm holding back?

Lancelot
You are no Knight of the Sun. Your curse
has shifted.

Lancelot
The truth is, you are the Knight of
the Moon!

Gawain
...?
Heh, you saw right through me, Lancelot.

Gawain
Of course you did.

Gawain
You are right. My powers do come
alive...in the moonlight!

Gawain
Let me show you what I'm really
capable of!

Gawain
Haaaaaaaaa!!!

Finn
(Woah! She's so fast! Did she just make
the air shake with her attack?)

Lancelot
That's more like it! A graze from that is
more likely to take me out!

Lancelot
All right, time for me to go all out as well!

Gawain
I was hoping you'd say that. Come at me,
Lancelot!

Lancelot
Curse o' mine! Grant me pain! Grant me
power!

Lancelot
Ungh... Aaaahn—— Hiihiii!!!

Finn
(There's that odd laugh of hers again.
Does she enjoy being in pain?)

Finn
Lancelot, cut that out! This is no time
to be playing around!

Lancelot
Aha, a scolding from Finn... That'll work
too.

Gawain
Ready?

Lancelot
Oh, I'm ready. Here I come!

Lancelot
Royal Swiftslash!

Finn
(Lancelot disappeared...!? I can't see her at
all!)

Gawain
Split and sunder! Royal Lunarslash!

SCHING!!!

Finn
(The two strongest knights going head to
head with their strongest attacks!)

Finn
(I can't bear to see the outcome...)

Gawain
Haah...

Gawain
—A draw.

Lancelot
Yes, a draw.

Finn
Did you both break your swords!?

Lancelot
I did. Looks like my sword wasn't able to
withstand such a shocking impact.

Gawain
Not many could withstand such a clash
of powers.

Lancelot
So, Gawain. What did you think of my
sword?

Gawain
It is honest to a fault, straight and true.
Transparent, and not one to waver.

Gawain
It is not the type of sword that can be
wielded by a cheat or a liar.

Gawain
Which means...you are not the culprit.
Am I right?

Lancelot
Right.

Gawain
I am sorry. Lancelot. My judgment was
clouded.

Lancelot
There's no need for any of that now.

Gawain
Yes, you're right. Let's start over.

Gawain
Won't you help us, Finn?

Finn
Of course! We'll get through this
together!

Finn
(We've got some big problems, but with
those two now hand in hand...)

Finn
(I'm sure everything is going to work out!)

Finn
Hello, are you Jeanne?

Jeanne
Oh! Um, yes!

Finn
Lancelot has sent me to set you free.

Jeanne
You mean...I can leave?

Finn
That's right. The Knights of the Round
Table are waiting for you.

Jeanne
Are you one of the Knights of the Round
Table?

Finn
Well, just temporarily. I'm not actually
from this kingdom at all.

Finn
But nonetheless, I care about what
happens to the kingdom and its people.

Finn
Just as the Knights of the Round Table do.

Jeanne
I care about this kingdom too! I want to
help protect it!

Finn
Are you not from around here either?

Jeanne
I think so... I just woke up here one day.

Finn
The same happened with me.

Jeanne
Oh really! What a strange coincidence.

Jeanne
Um, c-can I ask you something?

Jeanne
If you're not from here, why do you want
to protect the kingdom?

Finn
I want to help people who are having a
hard time.

Finn
It's just the right thing to do. As a knight,
and as a human being.

Finn
If somebody needs help, I can't just stand
by and do nothing.

Jeanne
I...I feel the same way. There are people I
want to help... That is why I fight!

Finn
Yeah, let's do it together!

Jeanne
Okay!

Mikaela
Seriously, Jeanne... Well, looks like I'll have
to help you out again, right?

Finn
Oh, are you a friend of Jeanne's? You
should come with us too.

Mikaela
Oh, you don't have to tell...me?

Finn
Hmm?

Jeanne
Waaaah!? Y-Y-You can see M-Mikaela!?

Finn
Of course I can see her, why wouldn't I?

Jeanne
Mikaela, what's going on?

Mikaela
I have no idea! But maybe this means
there are people like you out there...?

Jeanne
People like me? Um, sir? Can you also
hear voices? Like the voice of God?

Finn
The voice of God!? No, I don't think so.

Jeanne
Oh...

Finn
Anyway, let's get out of here! Camelot
needs your help right now!

Jeanne
O-Okay! I'm not sure of how much use
I'll be, but let's go!

The Day Fates Converge
Finn
Oh, you're here already? You're up
awfully early.

Gawain
I am a Knight of the Round Table. Of
course I am here early.

Gawain
Besides, it is difficult to get any sleep
in this situation.

Gawain
According to the girl's prophecy, Camelot
will fall today.

Gawain
Finn, you are an honorary knight of the
Round Table. I have a request for you.

Gawain
I want you to help me protect Camelot.
Help me protect its people.

Finn
Of course I'll help you! I will do whatever
I can.

Gawain
A brutal battle awaits us. Are you sure?

Finn
I'm sure. I will uphold the Chivalry Code.

Finn
Besides, I believe in you, Gawain.

Finn
You are a strict leader, but you are just
and fair.

Finn
You don't shy away from responsibility.
You face it head on.

Finn
That is the kind of knight I truly admire.

Gawain
You believe in me... And I believe in you.

Finn
Ahaha... It's a little embarrassing when
you say it to my face...

Gawain
Heh, maybe a little.

Lancelot
Ahem! Sorry to be a wet blanket.

Lancelot
I'm feeling like a third wheel over here.

Lancelot
I don't like being ignored! If you're mad, just
scold me...as harshly as you can... A-Ahem!

Gawain
Lancelot, what are you talking about?

Finn
We're not ignoring you!

Lancelot
Hmph.

Jeanne
Good morning...? Is something wrong?

Jeanne
Is it...my fault?

Finn
No, no. You just came in at a bad moment...

Lancelot
Excuse me, I got carried away there.
Sorry about that, Jeanne.

Jeanne
Oh, is that it? You scared me...

Mikaela
Heeeey, Finn!

Mikaela
Let's get 'em today! I got a good night's
sleep and I'm rarin' to fight!

Mikaela
Did you sleep well, Finn? You don't seem
very chipper, where's your fighting spirit?

Mikaela
Come on, you can hear me, right? Finn?
Heeey, Finn!

Finn
Yes, I can hear you. Good morning,
Mikaela.

Mikaela
Yay!

Jeanne
Hehe, Mikaela seems really happy to have
someone to talk to other than me.

Mikaela
What do you mean really happy!? I'm not
that happy!

Finn
It's okay, I don't mind. You give a great
pep talk, Mikaela. Thanks!

Mikaela
Ah! Well...

Jeanne
Mikaela, look at your face! I don't think
I've seen you make that face before!

Mikaela
Jeanne! Why you—

Orderly
R-Reporting! Enemies sighted by the
Eastern Gate watchtower!

Gawain
So they came...

Gawain
I ask everyone again: will you do what it
takes to protect the kingdom?

Lancelot
As a knight of the Round Table, I will do
what needs to be done!

Jeanne
Me too. I'll...I'll do my best!

Mikaela
If Jeanne's in, then looks like I'm in too.

Finn
I am fully committed to protecting the
people!

Gawain
Thank you, everyone.

Gawain
Let it be known to all: the operation is
about to commence! To your positions!

Yeah!

Capitulian Soldier A
Break through the gate! Heave!!!

Capitulian Soldier B
Hoooooooo!!!

Orderly A
The gate won't hold! It's going to break!

Gawain
Let them come. The next gate they face
will be us.

Orderly B
The gate has been breached! They're
coming!

Gawain
We are all that stands between life and
death for the people inside.

Gawain
Do not let a single enemy through!

Gawain
Here we go!

Orderlies
Haaargh!!!

Capitulian Soldier A
Damn it, what is this! We broke down the
gate, so why aren't we moving?

Capitulian Soldier B
It's that knight, she is too strong!

Gawain
The battlefield is no place for whining.
If you can't take it, run.

Capitulian Soldier A
Waaah!

Capitulian Soldier B
D-Don't come any closer!

Gawain
Child's play.

Orderly A
Enemy formation has collapsed!
Some of the soldiers are deserting!

Gawain
Do not pursue the deserters! Anyone who
flees from battle is no longer a soldier!

Orderly A
Yes ma'am!

Gawain
I hope the others are all right. We need
to finish this up quickly.

Gawain
It all comes down to you... I'm counting on
you all.

Capitulian Soldier A
Your predictions were correct, sir.

Capitulian Soldier A
Gawain and the finest soldiers are
focusing their efforts on the Eastern Gate!

Bruno
Camelot is missing most of its forces at
the moment.

Bruno
With so few men, they have no choice but
to concentrate on one location.

Bruno
Gahahaha! It's just as I expected!

Capitulian Soldier B
Precisely, sir!

Bruno
All right, let the destruction begin! I'll
crush Camelot with my own two hands!

Capitulian Soldier A
We're through the Western Gate!

Bruno
Go, go, go! Kill them all!

Capitulian Soldier B
Haaaaaaargh!!

Capitulian Soldier C
Huh!?

Capitulian Soldier D
Ghhh!

Capitulian Soldier E
Aargh!?

Bruno
What is it? Why aren't you rushing in?
WHY HAVE YOU STOPPED!!!

Capitulian Soldier A
Sir! There are...a few...

Bruno
Spit it out! Use your tongue or I'll rip it
out myself!

Capitulian Soldier A
Eek! Inside the gate, three enemies fight
with the strength of a thousand men!

Bruno
A thousand men? You imbecile!

Bruno
War is all about numbers! Just overpower
them!

Capitulian Soldier A
I-I'm very sorry, sir.

Bruno
You blithering idiot! Get out of my way!

Capitulian Soldier B
General! Where are you going!?

Bruno
Isn't it obvious!? I'm going to wipe those
three off the face of this planet!

Capitulian Soldier F
Haaaaargh!!
...Huh!?

Capitulian Soldier G
It's no good! T-These three are too strong!

Lancelot
In this battle, we lay our lives on the line!

Lancelot
Let those who are proud to wield the
sword step forward!

Finn
You're not going to get through us!

Jeanne
M-Mikaela!

Mikaela
I'm right here, Jeanne! You can stand tall
and proud!

Finn
(The Capitulian Army's formation and
their concentrated attacks...)

Finn
(It's all just as we predicted last night—)

Gawain
Let us go over our strategy for tomorrow.

Gawain
Jeanne, please recite the prophecy once
more.

Jeanne
Uh, sure!

Jeanne
"In two days, look to the west. The black
army shall destroy the kingdom."

Gawain
"In two days" is tomorrow, right?

Jeanne
I think so...

Gawain
Lonsbury is closest to the Eastern Gate.
Their plan is to trick us.

Gawain
Let us think they will attack from the east,
and then attack from the west.

Lancelot
You mean they're going to have their
entire army go around the castle?

Finn
That is wildly unexpected.

Gawain
Yes. They know we know that they've set
up camp in Lonsbury.

Finn
So that's why they set fire to the village!

Gawain
They wanted to draw our attention that
way and make a show of taking hostages.

Lancelot
So, paradoxically, the people of
Lonsbury are safe.

Gawain
As long as we both know they've got
hostages, they know we can't touch them.

Jeanne
I hope the villagers really are okay...

Finn
They'll be okay, because we're going to
save them!

Mikaela
Yeah! It's all up to us!

Gawain
So if that's the case...we shall place most
of our forces to the east.

Lancelot
Wait, what? I thought you said Capitulia
is coming from the west?

Gawain
Exactly. We can't let them realize that we
know what their plan is.

Gawain
We can't afford to have them hit us while
we are undermanned.

Gawain
Which is why we shall move according to
their expectations.

Gawain
We shall focus our efforts on the Eastern
Gate.

Finn
But won't that mean the Capitulian Army
will be able to overpower us?

Gawain
Not quite... You three will be stationed at
the Western Gate.

Gawain
We'll come straight to you once we've dealt
with the forces at the Eastern Gate.

Gawain
I want you to hold them off until then.

Lancelot
I see, we'll fight back against the main
force after taking out the minor one.

Gawain
This plan can only work with a small
number of finest knights.

Gawain
I'm sure we can do it.

Finn
We sure can! Let's do it!

Lancelot
All right, I have no objections.

Jeanne
Um, I don't know much about tactics or
anything, but I'll do my best!

Gawain
What's been said here does not leave this
table. There may still be a spy among us.

Gawain
Well then, I'll be counting on you three.

Capitulian Soldier A
It's no good! They're too strong! We can't
get inside!

Bruno
The Capitulian Army has no need for
pathetic weaklings! Die!!!

Capitulian Soldier A
Aaargh!

Lancelot
General Bruno... How could you turn on
your own soldiers?

Bruno
The strongest knight of the Round Table,
huh? So you're the reason we can't get in.

Lancelot
Don't you...have a heart? Somewhere
inside of you?

Bruno
This is a battlefield! You can take your heart
and feed it to the dogs!

Bruno
The Knights of the Round Table are all a
bunch of fops.

Bruno
You still cling to that stupid outdated
Chivalry Code?

Bruno
You're all thickheaded fools! Only the
strong survive in battle!

Bruno
The strong who can crush their enemies into
the ground like the insects they are!

Finn
What a horrible person!

Jeanne
Mikaela, this man can never be forgiven!

Mikaela
I couldn't agree more. Oh Jeanne, I'm so
mad right now! Let me take over!

Bruno
Time to die, Lancelot! Yaaaargh!!!

Lancelot
Nnh!

Finn
Lancelot!

Lancelot
Nice hit, mighty Bruno!

Bruno
Tch, you're still standing? And why is
your face all flushed? You make me sick...

Capitulian Soldier B
Magnificent, General! You landed a
hit against their strongest knight!

Capitulian Soldier C
Come on, men! If you don't want to bear
the General's wrath, chaaaarge!

Capitulian Soldiers
Yaaaargh!!!

Orderly A
We will never give up! We will protect
our loved ones!

Orderlies
Haaaaaaargh!!!

Mikaela
Finn, are you okay?

Finn
I'm fine! Is that Jeanne? Or is it—

Mikaela
Never mind that. They're starting to push
us back!

Finn
There are so many more of them than us.
And that Bruno guy is really strong!

Bruno
Hmph! You just don't know when to quit,
do you?

Bruno
You've made it this far, but I thought I'd
get more fun out of you.

Lancelot
Sorry to disappoint, Bruno. We're
watching you, and we will push back!

Bruno
And that is your weakness: all offense,
no defense. But what do I care?

Bruno
Come let me savor your slow, painful
death!

Lancelot
Finn, watch out! Gghh...

Lancelot
Are you...okay...Finn?

Finn
Lancelot! I should be asking you! Are
you all right!?

Lancelot
That was...a good hit... Heh... Haha...

Bruno
I heard you were fast, Lancelot. But
it seems you are slow and heavy!

Lancelot
Who are you calling heavy!?

Lancelot
—No, now is not the time to be getting
carried away.

Bruno
Weaklings taking the hit for each other, how
disgusting!

Lancelot
I choose to live for the sake of others. It is
my way of making up for past crimes...

Lancelot
This is how I uphold the Chivalry Code!

Lancelot
You have no right to criticize me.

Bruno
Chivalry Code this, Chivalry Code that—
Just shut up already! Just bloody die!

Do not look down on the Chivalry Code—

Royal Helioslash!

Bruno
Ngh!
Wha—

Finn
That move... It's Gawain!

Gawain
Sorry to keep you waiting. You've all
done well.

Gawain
Everything has gone according to plan.

Orderlies
Haaaaargh!!

Capitulian Soldier A
Huh!? More enemies approaching!

Capitulian Soldier B
That's bad! Our other unit must have
fallen!

Capitulian Soldier C
So these are the soldiers that were
defending the Eastern Gate?

Bruno
Those imbeciles! How could they fail so
quickly when I sent so many men!

Gawain
Don't you understand? War is not just
about numbers.

Bruno
The Knight of the Sun, Gawain!
Damn youuu!

Gawain
Losing your cool will only dull your blade.

Gawain
Look at you, you don't even realize what's
coming up behind you.

Lancelot
Royal Swiftslash!

Bruno
Graaargh!

Bruno
Not...me! This can't be...how it ends...for
me!

Gawain
You lost, Bruno. Surrender quietly.

Bruno
Haha... AHAHAHAHA!

Finn
Why is he laughing at a time like this?

Bruno
I may have lost the battle, but the war's
not over yet! This is not the end of Bruno!

Gawain
What are you hiding?

Bruno
Haha, take a look for yourself! The sun's
setting... You know what that means?

Bruno
That's right...the night has fallen!

Bruno
—Do it.

Capitulian Soldier J
But, sir...

Bruno
I SAID DO IT!!!

Capitulian Soldier J
Y-Yes sir!

Mikaela
This is bad... Finn, there's something in
that cart.

Finn
Is it a weapon? No...but we have to stop
them, whatever it is!

Mikaela
No! It's too late!

Capitulian Soldier
Break the seal!

Lancelot
It's got...the people of Lonsbury inside?

Spica
Finn? And Jeanne!

Jeanne
Spica!

Finn
The people of Lonsbury turn into demons
during the night... It can't be!

Gawain
Bruno, you monster! How could you do
this!?

Spica
My body... Finn, Jea...nne...
Aaaaaaggghhhh!!!

Lonsbury Demon
Groooar!!!

Capitulian Soldier B
A demon!?

Orderly B
How did it get here?

Capitulian Soldier B
No! Don't eat me—Waaah!

Orderly B
R-Run away! Aaaagh!

Gawain
Turning the people of Lonsbury into
weapons... It is abhorrent!

Bruno
This was my plan all along. Camelot shall
be a feeding ground for the beasts!

Bruno
Now, feast! Let me savor this final hour
of death and destruction!

Bruno
A scene straight from the depths of hell!
So glorious!

Lonsbury Demon
Grraaaah!!!

—Chomp —Munch...

Bruno
AHAHAHA! Haha...aaa...aa...
Aaaa—aaaa—aaargh—!!!

Finn
We can't let them get to the castle town!

Gawain
I know, but...

Lancelot
What are we supposed to do!? They're
people, just like us! We can't kill them!

Jeanne
Spica, Spica!

Mikaela
Calm down, Jeanne! I can't keep control
if you get all worked up like that!

Gawain
Do not let your emotions take control.
We are the Knights of the Round Table...

Gawain
We must act now before more civilians
get hurt!

Gawain
We must protect the people!

Lonsbury Demon
Grroooaaaar!

Gawain
Haaaaargh!

Lonsbury Demon
Grraaaagh!

Gawain
Huff...huff... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...

Lancelot
Is this because of the curse? Is this our
punishment?

Lonsbury Demon
Grrooaaaaaar!

Jeanne
Ah... Aaaaaah...

Mikaela
She kicked me out...!?

Mikaela
Jeanne! Calm down! I can't help you like
this!

Jeanne
It's okay, Mikaela.

Jeanne
I can hear them...

Jeanne... Run away...

Jeanne
I can hear Spica! I can hear them all!

It hurts... I don't want to kill...
Help us... Somebody...

Jeanne
Aaaaaah!

Mikaela
Keep it together, Jeanne!

Mikaela
You're a saintess! You have a power that
nobody else has!

Mikaela
That must be why you're here!

Mikaela
You can hear their voices, which means
there must be something you need to do!

Mikaela
Your powers are not a curse! They are a
blessing!

Jeanne
Hearing voices is a blessing?

Mikaela
That's right, Jeanne. Listen to the voices.

Mikaela
And speak for them!

Jeanne
Yeah...okay! Everybody! Please... Let me
hear your voices...

Jeanne
Yes, I hear that you're in pain. You don't
want to do this. Yes, I understand.

Jeanne
Let me be the one to deliver your message.

Jeanne
Dear God...I beg of you...

Jeanne
Please save them!

Mikaela
Jeanne, your body is shining so bright!
This is the light...of purification!

Finn
Jeanne's doing that?

Gawain
Lancelot! The demons!

Lonsbury Demon
Graaargh...aaargh...

Lonsbury Villager A
Aaaa... Ah...

Lonsbury Villager B
Huh? We're...

Lonsbury Villager C
Huh? What happened? Wait, right... We
turned into demons...

Lonsbury Villager D
The light! The light turned us back into
humans!

Lonsbury Villager E
Such a warm and gentle light...

Gawain
Does this mean...the curse has lifted?

Lancelot
Maybe...but not for us.

Gawain
Perhaps the villagers no longer need
the curse.

Gawain
But as for us...we still need our powers.

Lancelot
They were able to atone for their sins.
I'm so glad...

Jeanne
Huff...huff...

Finn
Jeanne! Are you all right?

Jeanne
Yes, I'm just a little tired.

Mikaela
You used up all your strength, of course
you'd be tired.

Jeanne
But I'm so glad that everyone's back to
normal now.

Spica
Jeanne! Finn!

Jeanne
Spica!

Finn
You're back to normal too!

Spica
Hehe, I never got the chance to thank you
before.

Spica
Thank you, Finn, for protecting the
village!

Spica
I really wanted to become a knight just
like you.

Spica
And thank you, Jeanne, for playing with me!
I really hoped I'd be able to see you again.

Jeanne
Huh? Of course we'll see each other again!
Won't we, Spica?

Finn
Yeah, Spica. You'll make a fine knight
someday. Why are you saying all that?

Mikaela
Hey, Spica's body is going see-through...

Jeanne
What!? No, no, no!

Lonsbury Villager A
Thanks to you, the curse has been lifted.
We are forever grateful.

Lonsbury Villager B
I'm glad it turned out this way. Now we
don't have to turn into demons anymore.

Jeanne
No... In the end...I really am useless...

Spica
You were amazing, Jeanne! You did what
nobody else could!

Spica
Please, Jeanne. Make sure you live for me
as well!

Spica
Go out there and save all the people!

Jeanne
Spica...

Jeanne
Okay... I'll do it! Thank you, Spica!

Lonsbury Villager A
Lancelot, Gawain. Sorry for all the
trouble we've caused you.

Lonsbury Villager B
We are sorry for turning our backs on
the Chivalry Code.

Gawain
Do not apologize. You've done so much.
You protected your village well.

Lonsbury Villager C
That's because Lancelot was looking out
for us.

Lancelot
...!
How did you know?

Lonsbury Villager D
You didn't do very well trying to hide
yourself with that hood, you know.

Lonsbury Villager E
You stood out like a sore thumb.

Lonsbury Villager F
You've been protecting us all this time.
Thank you for all your help.

Lancelot
Don't say that—

Lonsbury Villager A
Oh, looks like we're almost out of time.

Gawain
Are you sure you're ready?

Lonsbury Villager A
Absolutely. We have no regrets. We leave
Camelot to you now.

Gawain
You can count on me. The Knights of the
Round Table will protect the kingdom.

Lancelot
Please rest in peace now that you are
free of the curse, my fellow knights.

Spica
Bye bye! See you again!

Finn
Definitely! We'll definitely see you again!

Jeanne
Yeah, definitely! I will pray to God to let
it be so.

Jeanne
So we will...

Jeanne
We will meet again!

The content smiles of the people of
Lonsbury gradually melted into the air.

Was it the relief of finally being freed from
their curse that made them smile like that?

Their peaceful faces made us all feel
just a little bit lighter...

Dawn of the Return
A knock sounds on the hospital room door.

Lancelot
Sorry to bother you. How are you feeling?

Gareth
Lancelot...

Lancelot
I'm so relieved to see you well, Gareth.

Lancelot
I see the bleeding has stopped and your
wounds have all healed up.

Gareth
...

Lancelot
Looks like Kay went easy on you with his
attack... He does like you, Gareth.

Gareth
No... I got Kay real good, so he was just
too weak to hit me with all his strength.

Gareth
Kay is...not the kind of guy to let
sentimentality get in the way...

Lancelot
Maybe...

Gareth
So, why are you here, Lancelot? Have you
come to get your revenge?

Lancelot
Heh, as if I'd do that. I'm just here to see
how you're doing.

Lancelot
It's okay, Gareth. It's not your fault. It's
all because of Lancelot's curse.

Gareth
No, no! It is all my fault!

Gareth
I hated you so much—

Gareth
You're so popular, everyone accepts you,
in spite of who you are—

Gareth
Even my sister trusts you.

Gareth
That's why I did it. That's why I was
spying for Capitulia.

Gareth
I did it because...there was no way I could
beat you on my own.

Gawain
That's because you lack training. I told you.

Gareth
Sis...!

Gawain
And I told you to stop calling me sis, too.
Do you ever listen?

Gawain
Gareth... You are you. Don't bind yourself
to what happened in the past.

Gawain
The Lancelot of today is not the
Lancelot of the past.

Gawain
And you are not the Gareth of the past.

Gareth
I'm me...

Gareth
Yeah...

Gareth
Hehe, I guess you're right. If only I'd
realized this sooner...

Gawain
You'll face punishment once the King
returns.

Gawain
Accept it and come back once you've paid
for your crimes.

Gareth
You mean...back to the Round Table!?
But how can I? After what I did to Kay...

Kay
Yes, what did you do to me?

Gareth
K-Kay!?
You're not a ghost, are you?

Kay
You really think your puny little knife
could take me out?

Kay
—Ouch... Damn, still hurts...

Gawain
Kay was not seriously hurt, he was merely
unconscious due to severe bleeding.

Lancelot
Hehe, see? Even Kay came to see how you
were doing, despite his injuries.

Kay
I came to give her a good talking to!
Not to see how she's doing! Oww...

Gawain
Hmph, doesn't anyone at the Round Table
say what's really on their mind?

Kay
You're one to talk, Gawain!

Lancelot
Come now, Kay. Let's not have your
wound open up again.

Gareth
Hehe! Things are just like they used to be
at the Round Table...

Gareth
I would love to come back again...

Gawain
I've just told you you can.

Lancelot
We'll keep your seat reserved for you.

Kay
You'd better prepare yourself for when
you come back!

Gareth
Thank you. I will accept my punishment
so that you'll all trust me again.

Lancelot
We'll be waiting for you.

Jeanne
I thought of going to see how Gareth's
doing...

Mikaela
But the Knights of the Round Table are
so close, we'd best not interrupt them.

Jeanne
Yeah, it must be nice to have that.

Mikaela
You could always quit being a saint and
become a knight instead?

Jeanne
Oh, um... I'm a bit too frightened of
battle, though.

Mikaela
Haha, you're a saint through and through.
Why else would you have a guardian angel?

Jeanne
I guess so... But I want to be able to help
others with my gift, with the voice of God.

Jeanne
No... I have to help!

Mikaela
Wow, you sound more confident already.

Jeanne
Hehe, you think so?

Orderly
Excuse me, is there a Jeanne and a Finn
here?

Jeanne
Yes! My name is Jeanne!

Orderly
Oh, good. There is someone who says they
know how to get you back home.

Jeanne
Really! Where are they?

Orderly
They're waiting at the Eastern Gate.
Something about not liking castles.

Mikaela
Not liking castles? That's a bit shady...

Jeanne
Still, we'd better go tell Finn!

Jeanne
Thank you for letting us know!

Orderly
It's my pleasure. I'll be returning to my
duties now.

Jeanne
Okay, good luck!

Lancelot
Finn! I heard the news from Jeanne.

Finn
Yes, apparently there is someone who
knows how I can get back home.

Finn
I'll find out how to get back, and then I'll
be leaving Camelot.

Lancelot
I see... We'll miss you, Finn.

Finn
I'm sorry it's so sudden.

Lancelot
Don't be sorry. You are a knight, you have
your own people you need to protect.

Lancelot
But I hope you'll come visit us in Camelot
again. We'll welcome you with open arms.

Finn
Of course, I'll definitely come back and
visit!

Lancelot
Well then, let me show you how we
say goodbye here.

Lancelot
It is a custom that has been passed down
among the Knights of the Round Table.

Finn
L-Lancelot! This is how you say goodbye?

Lancelot
Yes, we gently embrace—
and we whisper into the ear...

Lancelot
"I bid you good luck."

Lancelot
Hehe, you're blushing, Finn.

Finn
Oh! Well, ah, I'm just not used to this.
I'm sorry.

Lancelot
Oh right, have you told Gawain yet?

Finn
Not yet. I was going to tell her after I told
you.

Lancelot
Then let's call her over. I can get her here
in a flash.

Finn
In a flash?

Lancelot
Meow! Meow meow! Meeeoow!!!

Finn
(She's meowing like a cat? No way is
Gawain going to show up!)

Gawain
I heard a cat! Where! Where is...
Huh?

Gawain
Lancelot! Not you again!

Lancelot
You see, Finn? I told you she'd be here in
a flash.

Gawain
You tricked me!

Lancelot
Haha, sorry Gawain. But Finn is about to
leave us, so I hope you'll forgive me.

Gawain
Finn's leaving us? Are you going home?

Gawain
The King should be back soon...

Gawain
No, I shouldn't stop you.

Gawain
Yes... So you're leaving...

Lancelot
Gawain, there's no need to be so formal
when saying goodbye.

Gawain
Haah... You're right.

Gawain
I hope you'll visit again, Finn.
We'll be waiting for you.

Gawain
Please come back whenever you like.
You will always have a seat with us.

Gawain
Do not forget that.

Finn
Sure! I'll definitely come back.

Gawain
Good.

Lancelot
All right, Finn. Say your goodbyes.

Finn
Oh, right. Like this—

Gawain
Huh?

Finn
I bid you good—

Gawain
Hey! What are you doing!?

Finn
Agh!

Gawain
What were you thinking!? I could feel
your breath in my ear! Ugh...!

Finn
Isn't this how the Knights of the Round
Table say goodbye?

Gawain
H-Huh!?

Gawain
You! You're holding back laughter! This
was all your doing, wasn't it!

Lancelot
Hehe, guilty! But I haven't seen you like
this in such a long time, Gawain! Haha!

Gawain
Lancelot!!!

Lancelot
Yikes! Please, don't be too harsh...

Gawain
You think I would stoop to half-hearted
punishment!?

Lancelot
Hyiiii!! No! Please don't!

Finn
(Lancelot and Gawain seem to be getting
along much better now. I'm glad.)

Lancelot
Uh, Gawain!? You're serious, aren't you!?

Gawain
I am always serious. I work hard, and I
punish hard.

Lancelot
Hyaaaaaaah!

Finn
(They are getting along...right?)

Jeanne
Finn!

Mikaela
Hey, Finn.

Finn
Hey, you two. Are you ready to get going?

Jeanne
Yes, we've already said our goodbyes to
the Knights of the Round Table.

Mikaela
Even though they can't see me. Oh, but
you can see me, can't you, Finn?

Finn
Now that you mention it, I have been
wondering... What are you, Mikaela?

Mikaela
Me? I'm Jeanne's sister, and I'm also her
guardian angel.

Finn
You're an angel!?

Mikaela
What, you don't believe me? Don't I look
like an angel?

Finn
Oh no, it's just... Well, you do have
beautiful wings. Yeah, you are an angel!

Mikaela
Uh... Well...

Jeanne
Hehe, good for you, Mikaela.

Mikaela
Shush, Jeanne. Oh, and Finn...

Mikaela
Don't get any ideas about my little sister,
you hear?

Finn
Ideas!?

Jeanne
Oh, Mikaela! Finn's always been super
nice to me!

Mikaela
You see! You're getting her all buttered up!

Jeanne
Mikaela... You're embarrassing me...

Mikaela
It's not like anyone can hear me anyway!

Jeanne
That's not the point though...

Finn
(Haha, it's nice to see that they're so
close with each other.)

Mikaela
Finn! What's with that stupid grin on
your face!

Jeanne
Come on, Mikaela! Stop it!

Jeanne
Um...sorry about earlier.

Finn
It's fine. She's your sister. It's good that
you two get along.

Mikaela
Oh yeah! We're the closest sisters in the
world! Aren't we, Jeanne?

Jeanne
Oh Mikaela, how can you be so
uninhibited?

Jeanne
It really is...time to say goodbye to this
place, isn't it?

Jeanne
It really was just like it looked in the
picture book.

Finn
Picture book? Ah, so that's why the name
Camelot sounded so familiar.

Jeanne
Have you read it too, Finn?

Finn
Yeah, when I was little. The story of a
mythical kingdom and its knights.

Finn
It's such a famous story... How could I
forget about it?

Finn
Oh, the person who knows the way home
should be around here, right?

Jeanne
That's what I was told. I wonder where
they are?

Mikaela
Could it be that person over there?

Finn
I think that's just a local craftsman.

Royal Citizen
Hello! I'm here!

Jeanne
Oh, somebody's waving at us.

Royal Citizen
I'm glad I found you! That is to say, I was
getting so sick of waiting!

Finn
Sorry to keep you waiting. Are you the
one who knows how we can get home?

Royal Citizen
I am indeed.

Royal Citizen
I am also on the run.

Finn
Hah!?

Jeanne
What do you mean?

Royal Citizen
Does it matter? As long as I know the way
home, there should be no problem, right?

Royal Citizen
Alrighty, the two of you just line up over
there... Oh, three of you? Well, whatever.

Royal Citizen ?
Ugh, this disguise is just getting in the
way.

Finn
You!

Jeanne
It's Merlin!

Merlin
I am soooo grateful to the both of you! You
managed to change this kingdom's fate.

Merlin
You are the saviors of this land! It worked
just as expected!

Finn
You were the one who brought us here?

Merlin
So I did, Finn the Hero and Jeanne
the Saint.

Merlin
I am Merlin the Magician. You'd do well
to remember that name.

Merlin
Well then, I'll be seeing you around. We'll
be meeting in the not-so-distant future.

Finn
Hey! Wait a second! I still have questions
to ask you!

Merlin
Buh-bye now! ♪

Merlin
Haa...

Merlin
Not only did they rescue the kingdom,
they also managed to break the curse.

Merlin
The youth these days sure are capable of
achieving so much.

Merlin
Wouldn't you agree, Arthur?

Merlin
Hehe, I'll bet this has been a shock to
that pesky witch!

Merlin
This is what you get when you look down
upon "mankind," witch of Avalon!

Merlin
—And now! ♪

Merlin
I think it's time to eat a sweet treat!
