Original subtitles

I doze with you in front of the mirror, with rouge fingertips

This hand unexpectedly showed weakness and blocked your lips

I made a promise with you that day

And now we can't remember it

Why don't I have wings to float in the sky,

like the wind, like the clouds?

Why don't I have wings to sink into the all-enveloping night,

like the stars, like the moon? Ahh

The greatest cathedral in Barcelona came crashing down yesterday.

Father Nightroad. Proceed to the site immediately

and find out whether this was a simple accident or an act of sabotage.

Umm... I hate to disagree with you, but...

Isn't His Holiness' uncle visiting Rome very soon?

Is this incident really worthy of AX attention? There's no proof...

True.

The Vatican is arranging the celebration

for Archbishop Alfonso's visit to Rome, as well as extensive security,

which has left us with a severe lack of help.

Just as you say, we can't spare AX members for a case like this.

Which is precisely why I want you to go, Father Nightroad.

Wait! Hold on!

That's precisely why.

Oh, that's precisely why...

Bye for now!

Abel-kun!

Oh, Noelle-san!

Here you are! Travel expenses!

T-this much?!

Make sure you keep a detailed list, now!

Yes, yes! I'll be careful!

Well, let's go!

Eh? Where to?

Isn't it obvious?! The city of sun and passion! Barcelona!

Eh?!

Don't give me that!

You always waste travel expenses on every business trip you go on,

plus you spent an insane amount at Never Land Island the other day!

Not even Caterina-sama can look the other way anymore!

She told me to keep tight reins on you and your wallet on this trip!

Oh. So this is for two people...

That's right!

What?! Outsiders aren't allowed here!

Umm! I'm from Rome, and my name is Abel Nightroad-

You come to trash up the place?

Sorry...

Incredible... Such an enormous building fell,

yet all the surrounded buildings are practically unscathed...

What's the likeliness of foul play or terrorism?

Can't say for sure, but it doesn't seem that way.

There's really nothing left for you guys to do here.

Come get the report from the station later tonight.

Until then, enjoy some food and do some sightseeing or something.

Yeah...

Do you think it'll end with them saying it was the building's age?

Do you have something against that, Abel-kun?

No, it's not like that. Just, something bugs me.

What can possibly bug you?

You know they found no signs of explosives,

or even anyone suspicious lurking around the day of the incident.

Yeah. And no one's really claimed responsibility for it or anything...

Umm, Noelle-san! Isn't that a tour map?!

How rude! I'm always completely serious!

Abel-kun! Do you understand?!

We'll have to go back to Rome tomorrow if the case gets closed!

Y-yeah, huh...

"Yeah, huh?!"

It seems you don't understand the gravity of the situation after all...

W-what do you mean?

However hard I plan, we'll only get to visit this many famous spots!

Eh?

Umm, Noelle-san. I don't quite understand what you're saying.

In what way?

You're not saying, "Let's blow off work and have fun," are you?

I am! Plus we have a huge war chest for funds!

But I'm really not comfortable with using job funds to have fun...

But you heard what that detective said!

"Go enjoy some food and do some sightseeing!"

This isn't blowing off work!

It's a legitimate part of our joint investigation with the local police!

- That's just selfish reasoning. - But it is reasoning!

This is a rare chance, so quit being so strict and let's have some fun!

Yeah...

Sister Kate.

The report says the collapse of the cathedral in Barcelona

was due to the building's age. Is this correct?

Yes. However...

Then have Crusnik and Mistress return home at once.

Caterina-sama. There's, uhh, one other strange bit of information...

Wasn't this in a closed region?

A corporation recently used enormous funds to buy this church's land.

I don't believe it's related to this incident, but it bugs me somehow...

Have you contacted Crusnik's team?

- Delicious! - Umm, Noelle-san.

Haven't you had a little too much?

- Excuse me! - Coming!

Could I have some of this sherry next?

Certainly!

What's wrong?! You haven't eaten at all!

That's not good! This is part of the investigation too, you know...

No, how do I put this,

thanks to you, both my heart and stomach are full today-

N- Noelle-san?!

- Abel-kun! - Yes?!

I had fun today...

N- Noelle-san?!

Say, Abel-kun...

Yes?!

Do you like me?

Yes?!

Yes?!

Say, you're not going to ask me how I feel about you?

I...

Umm...

Sorry! Do you have a minute?!

S-sure, Kate-san! It's all right! No problem at all!

Eh? Sagrada Familia?

Oh, Domenech Pharmaceuticals? Understood!

Dummy...

Come on! Why do I have to go back?! That's so mean!

You can't do undercover investigation in your condition!

Why not?! If we split up and investigate Sagrada Familia

and that what's-its-name Pharmaceuticals,

we'd finish in no time flat!

Sheesh! You're such a worrywart, Abel-kun!

You're too drunk... I can handle the investigation on my own.

Plus I'm already worried about you as it is...

- The same goes for me, too. - Eh?

I'm always worrying about you, you know...

Come on, tell me. Am I that untrustworthy?

It's not like that at all. Of course I trust you.

I see! Then will you put your faith in me, Abel-kun?!

Listen! We're through, if you decide to come running back!

Yes, ma'am...

Noelle-san! Contact me right away if anything happens!

We're through, even if you keep trying to contact me!

Yes, ma'am...

Well, I'm off to Sagrada Familia. You be careful, Noelle-san.

Dummy!

Why couldn't he have said, "Well, I leave it to you," then?

So the company exists, but really only in name...

What an amazing place...

Well, where should I enter from?

If there's something, it'd be in there, huh?

Hello? Abel-kun? Where are you at?

Noelle-san?

I'm at Sagrada Familia!

But are you all right?! I didn't expect to hear from you!

Yeah. I just found out something interesting.

Can you get here right away?

What do you mean, "something interesting"?

Get a load of this.

The president of this Domenech Pharmaceuticals company...

It's a slick disguise, but he's actually James Barrie!

What?!

It's true!

I found plans to renovate Sagrada Familia written by Barrie himself!

But what would Barrie be doing in this town?!

There's no way to know without asking him ourselves.

Blood?!

James Barrie?!

What's going on, Abel-kun?! What about Barrie?!

No, uhh...

I'm glad you came, Father.

After all, I've spoiled a friend's enjoyment of my beautiful melody

with the corpse of a foolish old man.

Please, thoroughly enjoy my performance tonight.

So it was you who murdered Barrie?!

He made a grave breach of contract in his business with us,

and paid the penalty for it. That is all.

What are you talking about?!

Don't move! I don't know who you are,

but I hereby place you under arrest for the murder of Barrie!

My apologies. My name is Kampfer. Isaak Fernand Von Kampfer.

Rosen Kreuz Orden, magus rank. Also known as Panzer Magier.

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

The Rosen Kreuz Orden...

Abel-kun?! Hey, Abel-kun!

Urgh! Who's worrying who here?!

What is this doing here?!

Our Orden exists as a business to assist people

who are discontent with the world and seek to reform it.

Committing acts of terrorism, in other words?

In this case, we hired Barrie to develop a weapon

to satisfy a certain person's wishes.

And that's why you killed him?

Now that the weapon is complete, he is no longer needed,

and we didn't lose any credibility.

You don't mean the art museum's destruction was your doing?!

You're under arrest for murder and destruction of public property!

Where is the weapon that destroyed the museum?!

You're looking right at it.

Eh?

You mean it's the organ?!

Yes!

This is Professor Barrie's finest masterpiece!

The Silent Noise System!

W-what the-?!

Stop playing this instant, or I'll shoot!

I'm afraid I can't. This is another part of our business...

This is the wish of a client who wants to see the silent noise

remove an entire town at its maximum power level.

What?!

Hey! What's going on, Abel-kun?! What is this shaking?!

Noelle-san! I'm alright! Just get out! Get out of the city!

- Alright! Just- out- city!

Eh?! What are you saying?! I can't really hear you!

Whoa! Abel-kun! Listen! I found some major blueprints!

Forget the blueprints! Just get out of there!

N- Noelle-san... Run...

You may sit there and meditate on your powerlessness

as you listen to this melody worthy of such a beautiful night!

I... can't ever lose one again...

That was my promise to her!

Nano-machines, Crusnik 02! 40% limit activation! Approved!

What the-?!

Stop it!

Kampfer!

Once again, a great many people have died... Father Nightroad.

Unfortunately, I have no time to play with you now.

We have clients waiting.

Stop!

Let's meet again sometime, Father Nightroad- no, Abel-sama...

I know this will not remain forever

However, it's beautiful

Your eyes, hands, and your warm smile

They're my treasure

It's hard to forget

I wish there was a solution

Don't spend your time in confusion

I'll turn back now and spread

My broken wings- still strong enough to cross the ocean with

My broken wings- how far should I go drifting in the wind

Higher and higher in the light (My broken wings)

Still strong enough to cross the ocean with

My broken wings- how far should I go drifting in the wind

Across the sky, just keep on flying

(What's falling from the sky is not rain... )

Overcount I. "The Belfry of Downfall"

With flames, we shall renew the world. =DS= 2006
