Disc2-01 Infinite Library/Archives – The Little Librarian

Computer: ID card confirmed, please give an audio sample for confirmation.
Vivio: Takamachi Vivio. I’m here to do some research!
Computer: Voice confirmed. Welcome Librarian Vivio.
Vivio: Thanks!
Man: Oh, Vivio. Good morning.
Woman: Good morning Vivio!
Vivio: Good morning everyone! Otto I’m here!
Otto: (Extremely formal) Oh, Your Majesty. Thank you kindly for coming to my aid.
Vivio: Um Otto, I don’t remember how many times I’ve told you this. But stop saying/calling me ‘your majesty’.
Otto: Uh…
Vivio: Vivio/I am a normal (elementary school) third grader. Not ‘Your Majesty’.
Otto: If I may say so, I do not believe there are any other normal third graders with the title librarian at the Infinite Library
VIvio: Oh~! I am a normal nine year old girl who happens to like reading more than most people. Special treatment is forbidden/Stop treating me differently!
Otto: I understand, Your Majesty.
Vivio: Oh, you’re so mean!
Otto: Nonsense/Don’t be absurd.
Vivio: Oh never mind/well. What is that you want me to find for you?
Otto: I haven’t made any progress on this at all. I’m using my full effort to search but…
Vivio: Hm, according the information I heard last night, it sounds hard to narrow/refine the search parameters.
Otto: The poem written on the wall appears to have no corresponding text. It appears that the person who wrote it, created it from scratch. The other additional information is…
Vivio: Toredia and Ix, right?
Otto: They want us to search for information on them related to Lost Logias and weapons.
Vivio: Oh great, more dangerous stuff.
Otto: It’s a request from Officer Lanster.
Vivio: Oh, from Teana-san?
Otto: No one mentioned it to you? It is.
Vivio: Oh, why didn’t tell me that earlier? If that’s the case, I would have stayed over here last night and searched all night.
Otto: In that case, I believe it would be a problem/issue for your family and your health…
Vivio: Teana-san is my mama’s student. And I owe her a lot too. I want to help her out!
Otto: That’s, um…/Er, well…
Vivio: Okay, Takamichi Vivio, ready to search with maximum power (zenryoku zenkai) !!
Otto: Please do.
Vivio: There are some history books/records that Lulu wanted, so I’ll be able to find those real quick too. Word query/retrieval magic square, now set up/expand! Designated Area: From B.C. Belka until present day autonomous Belka. Full-text search in all text/documents.
Otto: That’s a pretty heavy load there. Will you be okay?
Vivio: I made sure to eat breakfast this morning. I’ll be okay! Otto, you be responsible for confirming/inspecting the results/books.
Otto: At your command/pleasure.
Vivio: Full Drive – OPEN! Oh, here they come/oh, they’re coming out. Regarding Ix and the Mariages, they’re of the mid to final era/last stages of the Ancient Belkan Wars Era.
Otto: I’m going to confirm/inspect them.
Vivio: Please do.
Deed: Otto, what’s the situation over there?
Otto: Deed? Right now, Her Majesty is doing her best to help.
Deed: Have you managed to narrow down the era/age/period or area/region?
Otto: In regards to Mariage, they’re without a doubt from the Ancient Belkan era. Specifically, the era/period is before the Holy King/Sankt Kaiser (Seioh) Unification War.
Deed: The books of that era are the most difficult to decipher and translate, isn’t it? They’re similar to Knight Carim’s prediction/prophecies right? Or are they even more difficult?
Otto: If we ask Agito-san, we could finish it real quick.
Deed: I believe that Agito-san has taken some leave now.
Otto: Really?
Deed: I heard she’s gone to visit Lady Lutecia’s.


Disc2-02 アギト、ルーテシアを訪ねる
Agito visits Lutecia

Agito: Um… Signum, I have just arrived to Mau Gram and am currently waiting for Lulu to come and pick me up. How are you doing over/back there? Sending…
Lutecia: Agito!
Agito: Oh, Lulu!
Lutecia: Welcome Agito… It looks like you brought a lot of luggage again.
Agito: Presents from me and the entire Yagami family. Daily necessities, food and the like.
Lutecia: Thank you.
Agito: Yeah. Huh? Hey Lulu, where’s your mom?
Lutecia: She’s out shopping. She said she was going to make something delicious since you were coming Agito.
Agito: Oh, that sounds great! Er, I mean, what should we do with all this stuff? I was hoping that your mom’s car would be here.
Lutecia: Let’s pack it into the car. It’s parked close by.
Agito: I see. You know, this place is really great/nice.
Lutecia: You mean you can’t see/imagine that it’s a criminal exile/deportation world/land? (Note: penal colony?… sounds harsh, essential a place for deported/exiled criminals.)
Agito: That’s not I mean. It’s not a penal colony/exile. It’s a world/place that people are currently adapting and developing (Opinion: yup, penal colony, there’s no way around that Agito…).
Lutecia: I guess so…
Agito: Oh, an email from Signum. Hm, what is it? Let’s see. There are no problems over here. Go and take your time to play with Lutecia. As always, she’s writes in such a boring/unexciting way. I keep on telling to use emoticons/acronyms (opinion: pictograms… like orz and the like I imagine) at least…
Lutecia: Sounds very Signum-like.
Agito: Older sis, Vita, uses face marks at least.
Lutecia: Now that you remind me, she does, doesn’t she?
Agito: Shamal’s email is, like, really colourful. I’ll show it to you latter.
Lutecia: Just like my emails. Signum-san is in training, right?
Agito: She’s at a Command Officer training course (Note: Signum’s moving up the ranks!). It’s supposed to last four days.
Lutecia: I see. Important/high ranking people sure are busy/have it tough.
Agito: Sort of. But thanks to it, I got to take a break. Sorry to bother ya.
Lutecia: There’s some muffins already baked. Would you like one?
Agito: Heck yeah!
Lutecia: Wait a moment.
Agito: Hey, Lulu. Is it me, or has your book collection gotten bigger?
Lutecia: Caro and Vivio, oh and Fate-san keep on sending me them.
Agito: Politics and Military of Mediaeval Mid, Culture and History of Ancient Magic… You sure like these sorts of books, Lulu.
Lutecia: Sort of. They’re just interesting tidbits/crumbs of knowledge. Here you go a muffin. It’s still warm.
Agito: Oh, it’s freshly baked! It looks so delicious!
Lutecia: Of course it is.
Agito: Thanks Lulu. It’s so yummy. I definitely prefer tidbits of real sweets/foods over tidbits of knowledge.
Lutecia: I’ll put in some tea for you.

Disc2-03 Infinite Library/Archives & Joint Investigation

Lutecia: A call from outside... I wonder who it is? Hi, this is Alpino.
Vivio: Ah... Lulu! It's me, Vivio. I'm sorry, this is so sudden...
Lutecia: No problem, what is it?
Vivio: The truth is, I'm in the Infinite Library investigating some materials related to weapons
Lutecia: Oh
Vivio: We've found some related books and data items, but the details are hard to understand.
Lutecia: From which empire?
Vivio: Ancient Belka, just a bit before the Sankt Kaiser's period.
Lutecia: I'm interested; can you send the original data and images to me?
Vivio: Un! Otto, please.
Otto: Yes
Lutecia: Otto, it's been a while.
Otto: It's been a while, Lu-ojou-sama.
Agito: Yo! Vivio and Otto~
Vivio: Ah! You're with Agito~
Otto: It's been a long time.
Lutecia: Are there any other data?
Vivio: There are some notes related to the man who found Mariage, he seems to be named Toredia
Agito: Toredia...? I seem to have heard of him before......
Lutecia: Agito too...? I as well.
Agito: Let's not think of him for now, let's translate these. Um~
Lutecia: This part is easy.
Agito: After that... the words in this section are translated like this.
Lutecia: We finally have use for what Doctor taught us. This verb should be like this......
Vivio: How is it?
Agito: Hm~ we're almost done, but... the contents look dangerous.
Lutecia: Let me read.

The large army composed of the dead,
it will consume its dead enemies, increasing its numbers,
and turn the battlefields into scorched lands.
They are the Mariage.
Their built up forces shall continue to be multiplied infinitely by Ix,
it is impossible to stop their march.

Vivio: This means... it's a proliferating weapon.
Otto: Ancient Belka has that kind of technology...!
Agito: Well, it was an era when Al Hazred was active...
Lutecia: Caro gave me a rare book before, that book... seems to have talked about the technology of Ix......
Agito: S-Seriously!?
Lutecia: Wait a minute, I'll look for it.
Vivio: Ah! There are tea cups and muffins showing in these cameras... Sorry, I interrupted your tea time.
Agito: Don't worry, don't worry. The muffins won't run away~
Lutecia: You could say that this investigation has caught my interest. Got it!
Vivio: Really!?
Lutecia: It's written here... the king of the netherworld---the Dark King, Ixpellia.
Agito: The Dark King...?
Lutecia: It's a title of a king from ancient times. Vivio, try searching for this name.
Vivio: Umm~ searching carefully, Dark King Ixpellia. Born on the year 224 of the old calendar, the king of the Garea empire during the time Ancient Belka, a fierce, tyrant king who loved war and brutality.
Otto: He also made use of corpses to produce weapons to invade neighboring countries... ... The corpse weapons Mariage, which means "puppets" in Ancient Belkan language, and their means of production were considered as objects of Over Technology on the same level as the Sankt Kaiser family's warships and the Sank Kaiser's Cradle.
Agito: Oh~~
Lutecia: This could get ugly......
Agito: Ah! That's it... Lulu, we've heard the name of Toredia Graze, haven't we?
Lutecia: From where......?
Agito: From there! From that pervert Doctor's place.
Lutecia: What you're saying is......
Otto: From Doctor's base?
Lutecia: It was before Otto and Deed woke up.
Agito: It's like they were planning some things... and stuff.
Vivio: Otto, tell Teana the news immediately!
Otto: Yes.
Vivio: I'll quickly organize the data here.
Lutecia: I'll help you translate.
Agito: Me too.
Vivio: Hehe... thanks, you two!

Disc2-04 Investigation

Otto: Above is the result of our hurried research.
Teana: I see......
Otto: It's about Toredia Graze, I tried to ask my sisters... according to sister Cinque and sister Sein, it seemed like he was someone who assisted in the plans of the JS Incident.
Teana: I see...
Otto: My sisters from Quattro and above, and the Doctor himself, should have further information. Probably, even about the current Marriage and Ix situation...
Teana: Thank you, Otto... this is very useful information.
Otto: I'll continue investigating.
Teana: Okay... give my best regards to everyone.
Otto: Yes
Teana: Rune, you heard that?
Runessa: Yes.
Teana: We have a lot to go through (progress), let's work on it!
Runessa: Yes! The investigation group already found out Toredia's location, they said he's around the central redevelopment district K-267's underground shopping center.
Teana: Ginga and I have other work; I was hoping Rune would take care of this.
Runessa: Sir. Battalion 108's helicopter pilot has brought help/reinforcements.
Teana: Okay, you go with them.
Runessa: Understood, I'll go now.
Teana: Right. Ginga-san, this is Teana.
Ginga: We also received the news from Deed. I'm going to the main office to ask permission, then go directly to the orbit prison.
Teana: Please do
Subaru: Tea!
Teana: Subaru... and...
Erio & Caro: Thanks for your efforts!
Teana: Erio, Caro... Why are you...?
Erio: We requested it from Ginga and Subaru, we received permission to cooperate in the current case.
Caro: The members from our Conservation Corps said that it's ok.
Erio: Erio Mondial, Private First Class
Caro: Caro Ru Lushe, Private First Class
Erio: We'll cooperate under the lead of Officer Lanster.
Caro: Please let us help!
Subaru: Hehe... so that's the way it is!
Teana: Geez... these two kids are really nosy/meddlesome.
Subaru: I tried to stop them, but the two of them are as stubborn as their mother,
Erio: Ah... that's how it is.
Caro: When something happens, I could immediately summon Fried.
Teana: Right, thanks. That's reassuring.
Erio: The four of the Forward Team are here.
Subaru: Oh! Alto is here too, and I've heard that she called for support/help/reinforcements.
Caro: Support?
Teana: Ah, I asked for that, just to be sure. I wanted everyone's help in case something happens in the field (at the scene of the crime). But, we don't need to do anything right now...
Subaru: Yes.
Teana: I expected this, something is going to happen soon...... most likely in the next few days.
Subaru: You found something?
Teana: A little.

05 – Ginga and Cinque

Cinque: Ginga, this is Cinque…
Ginga: What is it?
Cinque: If you’re going to visit the Doctor… could I come and talk to him too?
Ginga: I think I can get permission to bring a guest.
Cinque: Sorry for this selfish request…
Ginga: No, no. Cinque is also a witness related to the Toredia case/incident. Don’t worry about it, let’s go together.
Cinque: Sorry about this ane-ue (lit: older sister). I am very grateful.

Alto: Okay! I can see it. The redevelopment district, K267.
Vice: ...Your piloting is bad, you must be tired (or Thanks for the crappy piloting). Geez! You're shaking the entire thing! Little Alto!
Alto: Ro~ger. Could the baggage hold back their complaints for the pilot~?
Vice: If you don't want me to talk, how about you let me pilot?
Alto: No way! This baby is mine!
Runessa: Sorry about this, Sergeant Major Vice Granscenic. I'll...
Vice: Ah~ I heard it from Alto. You're the aide of my junior?
Alto: Sorry, Runessa-san... He's a nasty senior.
Vice: Hey, who are you calling nasty?
Alto: This guy was also a member of Riot Force 6. He was Teana's senior.
Vice: Well, nice to meet you.
Runessa: It is I who should say that.
Vice: I heard from Teana, you're a shooting-type?
Runessa: ... Yes. In a fashion.
Vice: Ooh, hey, hey! A gun with live ammunition in this day and age! And a revolver at that!
Runessa: I have permission to carry and use it.
Alto: What's it called? You registered a cute name for the Device, right~
Runessa: Silver Dagger... I didn't think much about it, it's an uninteresting name.
Vice: Looking at the size of the gun, it has a short to middle range... Mn, is your battle position a Guard or Center?
Runessa: Sorry. I don't have experienced in the Armed Forces.
Vice: Ah, I see, that was rude of me. You're just an investigator?
Runessa: Primarily on autopsies and verification/examination.
Vice: He~e
Runessa: Compared to living people, meeting dead people suits me better.
Vice: Huh... is that so... That's pretty grim.
Runessa: Even Sergeant Major is...
Man: JX705 No. 1 aircraft, this is the ground patrol. The suspects we're searching for have appeared, three people are confirmed.

Mariage: An old-style... tape-recorder...
Toredia: Psalm 9

When the time comes, the king will return.
Even if there is no Suzerain, the realm of the dead shall open again.
The soaring flames and battle cries shall righteously make the value of peace known there...

Toredia: The one who was drawn to this voice, is it Mariage? Is it the investigators? At any rate, the time has come. My dearest wish will not be stopped, no matter what...
Mariage: Toredia Graze is no longer here... Toredia Graze is no longer here... Fellow machines, Suzerain Toredia Graze is no longer here. We have to find him and bring him before Ix... Fellow machines dispatched to the bottom of the sea, we leave the matter of Ix to you...

Vice: Assistant Enforcer, three opponents, should I act as an advanced guard?
Runessa: I hear that Sergeant Major can send a sniper bullet underground. If you could follow me...
Vice: Okay... Alto! You're our eye in the sky! Position us!
Alto: Roger! Runessa, I'm opening the hatch!
Runessa: Yes!
Vice: Let's do it, Storm Raider!
Storm Raider: Variable Bullet
Runessa: Let's go, Silver Dagger.
All: Go!

Disc2-7 独想
Disc2-07 Solitary Thoughts

Cinque:
Our true parent/creator was a truly rare genius scientist.
Having obtained the fruit called knowledge, a burning ambition was ignited in his heart.
And so, he sneered at the world and experimented with it.
He collected all kinds of knowledge, from the legacy of Ancient Belka to the magic and technology of every time and place, and demonstrated their full power by fusing them to the lives of hosts. (Alt Trans: demonstrated their immense power by creating life)
And the 12 daughters who served as his greatest masterpieces were born and started a revolution.
Using a young life, he operated an ancient magical weapon with intent to destroy this land.
But his experiment was denied in the midst of battle, and he was stopped.
Among the 12 sisters, one never returned, seven were compelled to receive sanctions, and the remaining four, together with him, became prisoners here in this satellite orbit/orbital prison, the maximum detention facility in Mid-childa's judiciary.
His name is...

Disc2-08 J.S

Ginga: Doctor… Jail Scaglietti.
Jail: Hey… It’s been awhile.
Ginga: We discovered a connection to you in a separate case and come to interrogate you.
Jail: I’ve been waiting, Zero-first and…
Cinque: I’ve neglected to contact/visit you for awhile, doctor. (formal)
Jail: Cinque, oh how nostalgic.
Cinque: You have not changed at all, I’m glad/it gives me peace of mind.
Jail: I’ve been keeping myself healthy. This glass-like/transparent prison is unexpectedly comfortable/pleasant.
Cinque: Uno and Tre are healthy as well.
Jail: They haven’t changed at all either. Quattro has even gotten a bit fat.
Quattro: Oh doctor, you’re terrible. I’m back to normal now.
Cinque: Quattro…
Quattro: Oh my, Thirteen and Cinque-chan. It’s been so long.
Tre: We told you already we won’t cooperate with your investigation.
Jail: Tre… It looks like today is a bit different.
Uno: We supposedly don’t have any connection to anything happening in the outside world anymore.
Cinque: Uno.
Uno: It’s been a long time, Cinque.
Cinque: It has… Um, about Sette… it’s because she was one of the last to activate… (Note: Apparently according to the SSX info booklet, Sette is given an unusual amount of freedom and rehabilitation by her jail warden because her responsibility/involvement in the JS incident is quite minor compared to everyone else imprisoned. Also because she doesn’t seem to understand or have much knowledge of the outside world. I guess this is further evidence she’s in jail only because Tre refuses to undergo rehabilitation and she won’t abandon her older sister. Must make Tre feel guilty knowing that…)
Tre: Yeah…
Ginga: Despite the dangers of opening communication lines to you all, I have questions that I need to ask you.
Cinque: It could affect our younger sisters. It’s an important matter to us.
Jail: I feel good today… I don’t mind.
Ginga: About the man named Toredia Graze, the weapon called Mariage and this Ix character that’s connected to the two. Tell me what you know.
Tre: Toredia?
Uno: Oh, that collaborator/sympathizer.
Quattro: Mariage? You mean that half-baked good for nothing weapon derived from ordinary humans.
Jail: Uno, please call up some simple data on Comrade Toredia.
Uno: Very well. Toredia Graze: Orussia Liberation War/Front activist. In year 0059, discovered the first Mariage. 0063, encountered the Doctor. Got assistance/aid and began experiments on mass producing Mariage.
Ginga: I knew it…
Cinque: I remember that much up to there.
Jail: That man, he was dreaming of revolution! He declared he wanted to participate in that ‘Festival’ of mine I planned!
Ginga: Revolution?
Jail: He wanted others to know of pain, no they needed to know pain. He said that a lot. That being said, I wasn’t interested in his human oriented research. So I just humoured him a bit.
Ginga: Where and how many units of Mariage has he made? Where is Toredia right now?
Quattro: Oh Thirteen, you’re terrible at investigation/interrogation. Your questions are all over the place.
Tre: That thing is supposed to spread/produce itself from dead bodies in the surrounding area it is in as an instant weapon. It’s hard to confirm how many can be produced.
Quattro: 人語を解するくせに作戦行動能力は昆虫並の変な兵器
For something that can understand human language, its combat/tactical efficiency/ability is as effective as a bug. It was a weird weapon.

Jail: Toredia intended to use the Mariage to attack the capitols of numerous countries. Or at least that was the plan/But that didn’t happen. This was about five years ago.
Ginga: Where is Toredia and Ixpellia?
Uno: Stop right there, Thirteen. Any information from here on is for exchange only.
Ginga: Exchange?
Uno: It’s nothing significant. In the first place, we have no interest in helping you out on this case.
Quattro: It should be in your power to grant, Thirteen-chan.
Ginga: What is it?
Jail: Hm, just a fine vintage of Belka red wine (or red wine from Belka), enough for one. That’s all.
Ginga: If you don’t mind… May I hear the reason why?
Jail: It’s for the sake of one of my most greatest/wondrous masterpiece creation. It’s almost the anniversary of her death.
Tre: A funeral for Due. There’s no way anyone would punish you for granting us that (letting us grieve).
Uno: Is that acceptable?
Ginga: I understand. I’ll arrange it for you.
Jail: How wonderful Thirteen. Oh wait, was it Type Zero-first?
Ginga: Its Ginga!... Ginga Nakajima.
Uno: We won’t thank you. This is the end result of an exchange/trade.
Ginga: I don’t care. The information on Toredia and Ixpellia now.
Quattro: Ixpellia is the progenitor /mater that gives birth to the control cores of the Mariage.
Uno: It's a lifeform unlike the Mariage. It's humanoid.
Jail: I don’t know what it looks like… Though most likely, it has the form a young woman.
Uno: Once it acquires/procures an adequate energy source, it automatically/endlessly produces control cores within its body.
Jail: Toredia and Ixpellia… We even know where they are now.
Cinque: Excuse me…
Dieci: Cinque-nee, can you hear me? Where are you?
Cinque: Dieci? I’m at the Orbital prison. Ginga’s with me too.
Ginga: Has something happened?
Dieci: A large accident/fire/conflagration has broken out at Mid’s coastline. Can you see it on screen?
Cinque: This is…
Ginga: The sea… is on fire?
Quattro: Oh my, how pretty.
Dieci: Ground forces and disaster prevention teams are all rushing to the scene. The location is the harbor security maritime district/sector Marine Garden. Luckily it was after close, so there weren’t any people but it’s getting really serious/dangerous. With his authority, Dad has given us emergency orders to assist with the disaster. Come back!
Cinque: Father did? Roger, I’ll be back right away, wait for me.
Jail: It looks like you’re all in a hurry. Let’s finish up them.
Uno: Ixpellia is at the location that Dieci has just shown you. Inside the underwater ruins.
Jail: And about Toredia Graze… He died four years ago. He was devoured by the Mariages.

Walter: This is the Harbor Security Force HQ. The scale of the fire is a condition 7! The temperature at the ruins (lit: Famous location) and interior is intense. Search and rescue teams are to work in two man teams. Use water for the largest fire. Fire extinguishing liquid on smaller fires. Air brigade/team is to cut off areas from any further fire (bad translation, partially corrected with Chinese trans). Wait for further orders!
Man 1: We’ve been calling off-duty officers in.
Walter: Good... Of all places to start a fire!
Man 2: If the situation continues the fire will spreading across the coastline.
Walter: Got it. Code Swordfish One. Give me your situation!
Subaru: This is Swordfish One. Completed preparations. With two cooperating mages (co-operators), we are advancing towards to the east red line!
Walter: Confirmed/Roger. Do your job right, Squad Leader!
Subaru: This is Swordfish One, Roger!
Erio: Subaru-san, you were a squad leader?
Subaru: Er, well according to the situation. I’m usually given a command position code.
Caro: Then give us your order, Squad Leader.
Subaru: Okay, first thing without a doubt. Search for survivors/life.
Erio: With sensors and sight, search for life signs/survivors.
Caro: Rescue them and evacuate them to a safe place!
Subaru: Right! We did it yesterday and we trained in Mobile Division 6. Don’t forgot what we’ve learned!
E+C: Got it!
Subaru: And also don’t forget, do whatever you can to come back alive! If you understand, then GO!
E+C: Roger!
Subaru: I’ve got a reaction on my sensor. A lot of people are alive. These incomprehensible situation, these weapons and this fire, all of this because of these things, lives have been lost. This is a sick joke/this isn’t a joke! We’ve got to save them. We’re definitely going to save them!
Mach Calibre: Absolutely.
Subaru: Let’s go partner! Full drive - Gear Exelion!


Disc2-10 N2R

Wendi: Deici, sorry for the wait. Here is the firefighting/fire extinguisher (salt water?) cannon!
Nove: And the fire fighting (fire extinguishing liquid) tank.
Deici: Okay, thanks Wendi, Nove. There’s still not enough fire engines here but it looks like we’re being deployed now.
Nove: Roger!
Deici: I’ll be carrying the tank and firing as I’m mobilized.
Wendi: Me and Nove will be working/cooperating with the rapid response rescue team and saving lives.
Nove: And if we run into that mass produced Mariage thing is responsible for this, I’ll bust’em up without a question!
Waltz: Yo, the Four Nakajima Sisters! Sorry, you’re N2R now. Let me first say, thanks for helping us out!
Nove: Commander Waltz, this is Chestnut hair, one of us isn’t here now but we’ll (she’ll) be joining us in a moment.
Wendi: The redheads are heading your way. (The redhead duo is heading your way)
Waltz: That’s a big help. But you two remember, just because you’ve looked at some data and done some practice/training, the real thing/job is completely different. Don’t push yourselves. Especially you Redhead One! Make sure you listen to your older and younger sister.
Nove: Pfft, I don’t agree with that but roger.
Waltz: It’s good that you’re so enthusiastic but try not to get in over your head. That’s all, I’m relying on you!
N+W: Roger!
Wendi: Well then, let’s go (here we go) Nove!
Nove: Yeah!
Deici: (Harbor Security) HQ this is N2R Chestnut head (kurige - chestnut hair). I’m beginning the fire fighting/artillery bombardment.

Woman: Swordfish One, transporting three…
Man: N2R Chestnut, Floor X23 fire extinguished!
Waltz: All right, this ain’t too bad.
Woman: Swordfish one, moving out!

Caro: So bright, because of the flames it’s as bright as day… If this place was operating/open for business normally right now…
Erio: The room temperature easily reaches over 400 degrees. At this temperature, the field won’t last even 10 minutes.
Subaru: Erio, if the heat is too much, retreat and switch to your most powerful jacket!
Erio: Yes…
Mariage: There’s still a survivor even here in this heat…
Erio: Subaru-san, I’ve detected/found Mariage. I confirm 17 of them.
Subaru: Caro, rescue progress?
Caro: They’re in the process transporting all survivors now! Erio-kun, can you hold them off by yourself?
Erio: Of course, leave it to me. Subaru-san I’m going to cut communications now, I’ll contact you after I clean this up.
Subaru: R-Roger…
Mariage: You shall become a sacrifice/offering for Ix…
Erio: I’m in the middle of a job right now, so I’ll have to humbly decline. Strada, Form Zwei!
Mariage: (can’t hear)
Erio: Zanber Blade!

Disc2-12 遭遇
Disc2-12 Encounter

Subaru: Erio… Caro… HQ, this is Swordfish One. Currently I’m at the archaeological/ruin observation/viewing tunnel. There’s very little fire! Room temperature is over 500 degrees.
Man: Roger that, noted, flashover.
Subaru: The life sign is in this vicinity. But the location … Warning/Danger signals?! The ceiling is cracked/split/damaged, it’s going to fall in/collapse!
Man: Swordfish One, emergency evacuation order.
Subaru: But the life sign…
Ixpellia: Huh? Who are you?
Subaru: Wha-… A girl?
Ixpellia: No, don’t come!
Subaru: Stay where you are, I’ll come and save you! Owie, owie… This is bad. Did I hit my head? I can’t see a thing… And my ears… can’t hear good…
Ixpellia: Excuse me… Um, are you all right? Um, are you all right? Can you see?
Subaru: Sorry about that! Don’t worry, I can see. Partner, you okay?
Mach Caliber: No problem.
Ixpellia: I’m so relieved. You’re injured but you’re very strong. You can go back by yourself right?
Subaru: Hey wait a sec, where do you think you’re going?
Ixpellia: I’m running away… from them.
Subaru: Running?
Ixpellia: It would be very bad if I remain here.
Subaru: Um, this girl is barefooted… and wearing thin clothing. Um, it can’t be… Ix?
Ixpellia: ???
Subaru: GAH! She fell!... Ah, are you all right?
Ixpellia: I can’t stand very well. Why? Is it because I awoke outside the usual parameters of my waking?
Subaru: Ah… I don’t understand what the situation is really well but I am a rescue officer/member. If there’s someone in the disaster/fire location/site, it’s my job to rescue them! I am Disaster Relief officer Subaru Nakajima. (What is thy name, princess?) What is your name, Princess?
Ixpellia: Ixpellia…
Subaru: Hm, so you are Ix. My friend has been searching for you Ix. She asked me to rescue and protect Ix from some scary dolls called Mariage.
Ixpellia: Um, what are you…?
Subaru: Don’t worry, and relax. Just hold on to me. A safe place is straight ahead.

Disc2-13 信念
Disc2-13 Faith/Belief/Conviction

Runessa: Enforcer Lanster, this Runessa.
Teana: Rune, are you all right? Did you find Toredia and the Mariages in the underground/subterranean Mall tunnels?
Runessa: I’ve destroyed three Mariages but I could not confirm the whereabouts of Toredia.
Teana: Where are you now?
Runessa: I’m on the northern elevated Aqua road. It’s where the helicopter landed. Where are you, Enforcer?
Teana: Can you see me from there? About eight hundred meters ahead. Next to the entrance for the fire trucks/engines.
Runessa: I see it. You’re there.
Teana: I’m about to go in now and protect Ix.
Runessa: What… That’s dangerous.
Teana: There’s no else available. I’ve got to go.
Runessa: Then what am I…
Teana: Rune, you will independently counterattack the Mariage. Guard the rescue personnel from attack.
Runessa: Roger.
She’s gone in? In this confusion/chaos, I can freely move. I’ve got to find her. No problems with the heat resistant armor/protective clothing. I have enough bullets remaining. These flames… are the dawn of a new beginning. Within these flames of rebirth/regeneration… Ix shall resurrect/return as King once more.
There are 32 Mariages currently mobilized… But mobilized disaster rescue personnel in the area must number in the hundreds. With this many, it’s more than enough… With Ix here… And in this situation, there are plenty of corpses waiting to be made…
AH! I got shot?!... From behind?
Teana: I guess your bad habit/tendency of talking to yourself wasn’t an act… Neither was leaving rear/back vulnerable.
Runessa: Enforcer Lanster… But… I saw you by the emergency vehicle entrance just now…
Teana: It’s a special skill/ability I had since my school days.
Runessa: High mobility (high speed)? No, illusions…
Teana: Fake Silhouette. That was an illusion over there, I’m the real thing.
Runessa: Impressive/Well done/Bravo.
Teana: It’s pointless to resist. I shot you with a capture/bind type stun bullet. You won’t be able to move for a whole day
Runessa: I know… When did you start to suspect me?
Teana: After I mentioned Toredia’s name.
Runessa: I… Did I… make a mistake?
Teana: When his name was mentioned… Your personality/behaviour and voice became a little lonely. After that I started investigating a bit. You were with him, Toredia Graze, for a little while in Orussia, weren’t you?
Runessa: We weren’t related by blood… but we were family (father and daughter). But more than that, in that land… In that blood soaked/endless battlefield, we were comrades fighting for the same dream.
Teana: So your motive… was to continue his will/dream?
Runessa: When I was first rescued… I wanted to believe in a truly peaceful world, I wanted to believe in it so badly… but it was an empty wish/hollow hope. The only thing different was there was more people. No matter where I looked people… fought each other… hurt each other… murdered each other everywhere!
My father fell into despair by the reality. So my father wanted the world to realize/recognize…
Teana: Realize/recognize… what?
Runessa: What it means to fight… the/to despair (…the emptiness/futility/sorrow/grief)
Teana: When we were together… I wished I had talked to you more.
Runessa: Even if you did that… I wouldn’t have changed (my mind).

Teana: Vice-sempai… Please escort her (to prison/holding cell).
Vice: Yeah, got it/I know.
Runessa: Enforcer Lanster… Could I… Ask you a question?
Teana: What is it?
Runessa: When you asked me to become your partner? Was it an act to shake my confidence and change my mind? Was it fake?
Teana: No… I was serious. If this hadn’t had happened, and still is.
Runessa: … Thank you…
Teana: Ginga-san, this is Teana.
Ginga: Teana, how is it?
Teana: I just finished escorting the suspect and will now join the mission to counter the Mariages and search for Ix.
Alto: Teana, Ginga-san, there’s an emergency!
Teana: Alto-san?
Alto: Just now the 108th had been monitoring the ruins with sonar. And they say Ixpellia might be moving/active!
Teana: Really?
Alto: And we lost contact with Subaru, she was in the tunnel near the ruins. The place where Subaru went missing is so full of rubble and burning flames that it’s cut off!
Teana: Don’t worry about it. I’m going to go in.
Ginga: Teana!
Alto: It’s impossible!
Teana: Send Cross Mirage the same map that Subaru was using. With that I should be fine.


14 - History

Subaru: (Harbor Security) HQ! HQ! This is Swordfish! Tea!!… Erio!!… Caro!! It’s no use; I can’t contact anyone using either the radio or telepathic comm. Ow, on top of that my right leg might be broken/cracked. I can’t get any speed/use out of it. If I get attacked by the Mariages…
Ixpellia: Um, your rescue plan failed. Please let me go.
Subaru: I don’t wanna~! I told you before, now be a good girl and hold on to me.
Ixpellia: But…
Subaru: That reminds me… Why do I end up using polite/courteous language to Ix again?
Ixpellia: Because… I’m a ‘King’?
Subaru: Oh yea, because you’re a King. Then I guess I should use ‘your majesty’ for you. Though the Sankt Kaiser doesn’t like it when I do.
Ixpellia: Sankt Kaiser? You can’t possibly mean the Sankt Kaiser of Belka?
Subaru: I’ve forgotten what (ordinal) number she is though. I’m friends with her.
Ixpellia: You’re lying…
Subaru: I’m not lying. She’s my online/e-mail friend and if I visit her, we have tea together.
Ixpellia: You’re lying. When I awoke in the past before, the Sankt Kaiser royal family and all of Ancient Belka was gone.
Subaru: Er… that’s true.
Ixpellia: In the past for over a thousand years, people continued to fight each other. I and Mariage, the Sankt Kaiser and the Cradle, were born as weapons to end the war. They demanded that we personally end the war in triumph as victors with our strength/powers. But what we bore/reaped was nothing but death, chaos and yet more/new wars/battles. This mistake/failure of I, Ixpellia. The failure/mistake of those who sought unification/conquest (implication those seeking to unify the nation). The failure/mistake of the Sankt Kaiser.
Subaru: What do you mean mistake?
Ixpellia: It’s everyone’s fault/mistake/failure (everything was a mistake). We must not be allowed to live/exist in this age/era that is why… I must disappear/erase myself because I can’t/won’t die.
Subaru: Um… Er… *slap*
Ixpellia: Owie!
Subaru: Sorry but that’s something we call a ‘poke to the forehead’. It’s something we do to punish stupid/dumb kids.
Ixpellia: S… Stupid/D… Dumb?
Subaru: A kid shouldn’t be talking about dying or erasing themselves! We can discuss/talk and figure all this out fully/at length latter at a safer location…
Ixpellia: How old do you think I am? I’m far older than you…
Subaru: You look like a kid! Besides, people who talk like you are not adults. Whoops, walls and rubble littered all over the place. But this shouldn’t be a problem (But if it’s only this much)…
Mach Calibre: Buddy!
Mariage: We found you… Ixpellia… Ixpellia…
Ixpellia: Mariage… that’s enough. We shouldn’t be awake in this world.
Subaru: Ix, as King can‘t you control them?
Ixpellia: I only exist to activate them; I do not have the ability to command them. Their commander/command core is located somewhere else.
Subaru: I see… If that’s the case, I’ll just blast/fight/defeat them all!
Ixpellia: Huh?
Mach Caliber: Charge Protection.
Ixpellia : A protection barrier … only for me?
Subaru: Just stay put in there and close your eyes Ix.
Ixpellia: But…
Subaru: We didn’t get finish our conversation (our conversation got cut off in the middle), so don’t go off to anywhere, okay? Promise me!
Ixpellia: O… Okay…

15 - Waltz and Teana

Woman: There are only a few main rescuers inside the facilities.
Man: Still no contact/response from Swordfish One.
Waltz: I see.
Teana: Commander Waltz, this is Lanster.
Waltz: Little lady (Jou-chan), where are you right now!
Teana: I’m heading towards where Subaru is. I believe the target/person I am searching for is also probably there.
Waltz: I see. Can I rely on you to take care of Nakajima?
Teana: Yes you can. Signing off.
Waltz: Okay, then. Continue the operation, quickly!
M+S: Yes sir!

Disc2-16 だけど、今は
Disc2-16 But, now…

Ixpellia: She’s so strong… She’s destroyed more than ten Mariages so quickly…
Mariage: Fascinating… (Interesting…/I see…)
Subaru: The last one, Revolver~~~!
Mariage: Right arm armament/weapon, form/morph, battle/war spear. (can’t hear very well, using Chinese translation to help)
Subaru: She blocked it?
Ixpellia: Officer please, be careful, that’s the Leader/General. She’s a lot stronger than the others.
Mariage: Please hand over Ix.
Subaru: Like I could just hand Ix over!
Mariage: Right arm armament/weapon, form/morph, high explosive howitzer (artillery) style cannon. (Note: There’s no kill like overkill, people!)
Subaru: Live ammo weapon (live ammunition weapon)!
Ixpellia: Officer! Please run!
Mariage: That was a shell that could destroy a tank in one blow. It’s not something that normal body could withstand/resist…
Ixpellia: How… could you…
Mariage: We have been searching for you. Without you, we cannot march/advance.
Ixpellia: We don’t need to… march/advance…
Mariage: Please guide/command us… To our new battlefield/war.
Ixpellia: That’s enough… Please, we must not go afield/to war (We no longer have a battlefield/war to go to!)
Mariage: Ix…
Subaru: AH!!!!
Mariage: My battle lance/spear destroyed?... By your fist?... Impossible…
Subaru: Partner!
Mach Caliber: Load Cartridges!
Mariage: I must give Ix… my final/last strength/power…
Subaru: SHINDOUKEN! (VIBRATING FIST!) Sorry about that, I wanted to defeat/neutralize those Mariages but…
Ixpellia: When they’re no longer able to move, they self destruct. It’s not your fault… That artificial (machine) skeletal structure (bone)… artificial muscles… You’re also…
Subaru: Eh heh… yeah…
Ixpellia: Are you… a weapon too?
Subaru: I guess so… Metallic/steel bones with enhanced/tensile muscles. A combat cyborg’s body might be a weapon… But, I’m a human right now. Well now, let’s get going/out of here.
Ixpellia: But… you’re badly injured.
Subaru: Heh, I’m fine! You know Ix, I have six sisters. They all have the same body I do. But all of them are happily living their lives as humans. Even the Holy King (Sankt Kaiser) has said bye-bye to that dangerous ship, the Cradle. She lives together with her gentle mama now. Vibrantly living her life and happily going to school.
Ixpellia: Is that… true?
Subaru: It’s true! When we get back I’ll introduce you to my sisters, the Sankt Kaiser and people who know a lot about the Ancient Belka. I’m sure everyone will treat you nicely. Of course, so will I!
Ixpellia: That… can’t be…
Subaru: Don’t worry about it! I’ll teach/show you. Not of these flames, but of the wide blue sky. That it’s a different world from the world that Ix lived in!
Ixpellia: Officer… You’re a little pushy/overbearing/bossy…
Subaru: I get that sometimes. Even though everyone says I’m timid, I’m also real bossy and selfish/disobedient/wilful.
Ixpellia: I think so too (I agree…)
Subaru: You’ll have to endure my selfishness once more time though. My family and friends call me ‘Subaru’. You should too, Ix.
Ixpellia: Um…
Subaru: All right! Let’s go! Hold on real tight!

Disc2-17 StarS

Teana: We lost Subaru’s signal while she was underground. If she can’t return through the path she took, then…
Wendi: Teana!
Teana: Wendi! How goes the rescue?
Wendi: We’ve saved all the people detected. But Subaru’s signal keeps on appearing and disappearing. There were two life signs, and it looks like they’re looking for a way out, but…
Teana: Yeah… There’s doubt about it. Take a look at this map. This is the position of Subaru’s signal, current fire situation and anticipated/expected areas of collapse. Looking at this, we can anticipate Subaru’s thought patterns and where she might go.
Wendi: Seriously?
Teana: Seriously. Wendi could you come with me?
Wendi: Roger!

Ix: It’s hopeless… This is a dead end too.
Subaru: Don’t worry! It’s within expectations. I’ve completely memorized the map. Even if it’s not a proper path/course, it should take me Ix to a place where we can get out…! Where I can make a path out!
Teana: That is what Subaru would think. We can predict the place she’s heading to.
Wendi: … You don’t say/No way…

Subaru: The blown out stairwell up ahead. From there!
Ix: The ceiling here is much higher than the other places but we still have a long way to go…
Subaru: It’s okay! We can get out from here…! Ix, could you wait here for a moment.
Ix: Subaru? You’re not planning to blow out the ceiling…
Subaru: Yes I am!
Ix: It’s impossible… You’re all torn up from Mariage’s attack/shell.
Subaru: Don’t worry about it. Here I go!
Teana: Subaru?... Subaru, if you can hear me, answer!
Subaru: Tea! Tea, this is Subaru!
Teana: Found you… Everything’s going to be fine. Can you see my video com?
Subaru: Yes, I can see it.
Wendi: They’re really there! The distance is quite far but they’re right under us!
Subaru: I have one survivor/rescued person with me here.
Teana: That girl’s Ix?
Subaru: Yes. Are you above us?
Teana: Right about you. Seventh floor. I’m going to blow the ceiling now and make a path for you. Then you can take Ix up and get out right?
Subaru: Yup!
Teana: Here we go… Cross Mirage.
Cross Mirage: The Firing Lock is cancelled. Load Cartridge.
Wendi: Wha… You’re going to blow out the ceiling?
Cross Mirage: Converge start.
Teana: There isn’t a lot of magic in the area or surplus magic but this should be enough to punch through!
Ix: Particles of light are being gathered… It’s as though… A star is shining… That’s… A converging/condensing cannon…
Subaru: Yes…
Ix: I wonder why… Those deep madder/purplish red stars, are beams of destruction but… It’s/They’re so beautiful…
Subaru: Yeah… I think so too.
Cross Mirage: Starlight Breaker!
Teana: Starlight---! Breaker----! Ha-… Ha-… The path/route is clear… Subaru!
Subaru: Roger, Wing~! ROAD~!
Ix: A path… to the sky…!
Subaru: This is my magic! I told you didn’t I? Straight ahead!
Wendi: Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Amazing! Teana, when did you learn that?!
Teana: Oh, this is nothing… It’s not complete/perfect yet (alt: it just looks similar).
Subaru: Thanks Tea! I’ll be in the sky on standby/waiting for orders!
Ix: Subaru! I can see stars in the sky!
Subaru: Huh…?
Ix: And… the sea and air is so clean/clear.
Subaru: Ha ha… It was different in Ancient Belka, wasn’t it? The sea and sky were murky/gloomy. But the world is like this now. There are still places that aren’t… but that’ll disappear soon enough. Everyone’s doing their best! So has your will to live… return yet?
Ix: Um….
Nove: Subaru! You moron! Making us worry like that!
Subaru: No… Nove…
Nove: What with those wounds/injuries! Hmph, I’m here to get you two outta here!
Ix: Um… Your faces and voices are so alike, are you sisters?
Nove: Huh?
Subaru: Heh, heh…. Little sister…
Nove: Reluctantly/Unwillingly…
Teana: Ix has been safely secured.
Wendi: Well then, let’s meet up with Erio and the others, and beat the crap out of the remaining Mariages!
Teana: Yeah, let’s do that!

Disc2-18 嵐の後
After the Storm

Caro: After the Marine Garden Fire was safely solved. It became big news (a scandal) when it was revealed that Enforcer Runessa Magnus was responsible/involved with the Mariage Incident/Case. How she had managed to use Toredia as a red herring suspect in the serial killings/murders, how she interfered with the investigation and destroyed evidence… How Enforcer Magnus had managed to personally perform/carry this out and who was to be held responsible became a central question for the TSAB and her direct superior Tea-san. There was great criticism/controversy and calls for severe punishment were made because of Enforcer Magnus’s plans and the Mariage attack on the city. However those who had acted to prevent the incident were not punished.
And thus, little more than a month after the Mariage incident/case. Teana-san who had been staying Mid for so long…

Teana: It took awhile, but thank you very much for you help, Ginga-san.
Ginga: Thanks for your hard work, Teana.
Teana: Zafira is returning next month, is he? Too bad, I wanted to learn some new things from him…
Ginga: Heh heh… It’s too bad you couldn’t get see him…
Teana: Please send him my regards.

Caro: Ix has been sleeping since the day she had been rescued, under the watchful and protective eyes of Mari-san at an isolated facility where she monitors Ix’s health. Subaru and Vivio often visit to see how she’s doing but… They haven’t been able to visit her when she’s awake.
Enforcer Magnus seems to be peacefully passing her time in jail/prison. Teana-san has gone to visit her many times but she never reveals what they talk about.
And then…
Teana: Oh, Subaru. I got a morning ticket for tomorrow, so I’ll be heading back to HQ in the morning.
Subaru: I see, roger.
Teana: You got a day off today?
Subaru: Yup! I’ve been on the go without a break and finally got two weeks off!
Teana: I’m not doing this as thanks for your help but…I’ll treat you to dinner. Leave open a space in your schedule.
Subaru: Aw, you don’t have to be like that, but roger on the dinner!
Teana: Okay. Bye.
Subaru: Yeah. Oh hey, another message/call. Hi, this is Subaru!
Mari: Ah, this is Mari. Are you free Subaru?
Subaru: Yup! I finally got two weeks off!
Mari: Um, Ix is awake. Do you want… to see her?
Subaru: I’ll go, I’ll go!
Mari: It’s just that… I have something I have to tell you.
Subaru: Huh?
Mari: Calm down and listen closely.
