How's the surprise attack being handled?

At Viscount Bartfort's instruction,

some of our forces scheduled for battle branched off to engage them.

Good.

Leon...

Trapped in

a Dating Sim

- Livia......

- Go home already!

You weaklings!

Where'd all the energy you had go, huh?

Don't you hate the kingdom?!

Come on, try harder!

High-speed ship, eh?

Well, aren't you fast?!

Take this!

I'm over here! What are you looking at?!

Retreat!

You're not getting away, idiots!

Unfortunately, it's time.

The titanic "final bosses" are approaching.

Useless, all of them.

This is why the palace guards aren't good for anything.

Don't you agree, Princess Hertrude?

Count Frampton.

You little bitch.

I lost everything because of you!

If you'd just kept your mouth shut, it all would've gone well!

I'm surprised you have the nerve to seek revenge.

I thought you'd die quietly in a prison cell.

I can't die!

Not until I kill you!

I'm sorry, Rauda.

My apologies for the wait, Your Highness.

Vandel?

The Black Knight of the principality?

I see. So you used the item, Vandel.

But that...

Do not let it bother you.

This shall be this old man's final act of service.

I'm sorry.

Based on the information you provided,

the stolen magic flute and great sword have been retrieved.

Your younger sister is also waiting for you.

Over here!

There he is!

Don't move!

I refuse!

Weaklings of the kingdom!

Hurry, Your Highness.

We don't have a choice. Go on.

That's certainly the logical decision, but are you sure?

Communications are jammed near the titans.

I'll leave the Partner with you, but I won't be able to support you personally.

Just go.

Understood.

The royal ship is prepared to go into battle.

I've installed an artificial intelligence other than my own.

It will assist you if you need anything.

A different AI?

I must go now.

Master, do not... beyond your abilities.

If you cannot... must retreat.

I'm counting on you, partner.

Vice AI.

Yes?

Open the gates.

Engine operating normally.

Launch the royal ship.

No tests. Good luck.

Prepare for liftoff!

Ship is stable.

All parts operating normally.

All forces, to battle!

It's go time.

We'll intercept the enemy above Lake El Doral around noon.

I can hardly believe Leon is leading that massive fleet.

Can he really defeat those gargantuan monsters?

Cloaking deactivated.

Confirming titan's location. Bearing: 25.

Why do I have to go into battle, too?

You're the Vice's support.

Until that ship penetrates the monster's barrier,

you'll be Livia and Angie's shield.

Why me, though?

Because you can use the Saint's powers.

That's why we stole—borrowed— the Saint's equipment from the temple.

I heard you gave equipment to an impostor!

The Vice will target the titan. Draw the weaklings to yourself.

That's why we stole—borrowed— the temple's ship, too.

I don't want to fight! I don't want to die!

Shut up!

If you achieve something here, you might have a shot at surviving!

Don't worry, Marie!

As long as we're here, you'll be fine.

I'll protect you.

I promise I'll be useful to you.

Marie, you're not alone anymore.

G-Guys...

See? You've even got dependable bodyguards.

Now do it.

Allow me to join you!

White armor?

Who is that?

An enemy?

Do not worry. For reasons, I cannot tell you my name.

But you can call me...

the Masked Knight!

Go home.

Who are you?!

What are you doing here, Masked Bastard?!

Be careful! He must be an enemy!

Marie, stand back!

O-Okay...

But that's obviously...

I was moved by your spirit.

I may not be strong, but I thought I could help—ow, ow, ow!

What's the big idea?!

Just come with me, idiot!

What are you doing here, Your Highness?

Whatever do you mean?

I am not the noble Prince Julius—

Yes, I am Julius.

Yeah, I know!

Bartfort, I will be joining this battle.

The exit's that way.

I will fight alongside the others.

Listen to me! If you die, I'll be held responsible!

That's why I wore a mask.

Leave!

No!

Leave, leave, leave!

No, no, no!

Sheesh.

You're serious about this?

Yes. I will fight to protect Marie.

Then do what you want.

She's guarding the royal ship. You'd better keep her safe.

She's in good hands, Supreme Commander.

This masked character appeared in the game,

but in the game, it wasn't Julius.

I never found out who he was.

"And that is what people call a knight!"

Who was that?

It's gone!

It's gone!

It's gone!

My disguise is gone!

The key to activate my pure white armor is missing, too.

Damn it! Did Mylene do this? That old hag.

Did you say something?

Don't give me that. That old hag...

H-H-How do you know about this r-room?

Everyone knows about it.

Anyway, have you seen Julius?

I can't find him anywhere.

C-Could he have taken my disguise?

My royal secret?

You don't deserve to know my name!

Uh, Lux?

Unfortunately, no.

I'm what you'd call a familiar.

Luxion commanded me to control this ship.

I owe him a little favor.

In any case, I'll handle the ship's controls.

You can sit back and leave it all to me.

What's your name?

Well, I suppose a serial number is a bit bland.

Call me Cleare.

Sister.

Rauda.

I'm sorry.

I placed such a heavy responsibility on you.

Not at all.

One of us was always going to have to do it anyway.

Rauda...

Do you remember how we used to travel through the skies with Father and Mother?

Yes. Everything was so much fun back then.

Whee!

Rauda, wait!

The wind on my skin, the sunlight shining down...

I loved it all...

until we heard our parents had fallen at the kingdom's hands.

That was the day we decided we'd take everything on.

With the guardians of the sky and sea,

we can achieve the principality's greatest wish.

Sister, have you thought about after that?

Princess Hertrauda, the kingdom's fleet is approaching.

I'll be right there.

Rauda...

Sister, should I fall, the rest is up to you.

Rauda...

Impulse engines stable.

All thrusters operating normally.

Correcting for terrain and convection current.

Maneuvering normally.

We'll intercept them above the lake.

All ships, line up. Prepare to attack.

We're beneath the lake.

Charge.

We're above the lake.

We'll be in range shortly.

Enemy has opened fire!

Fire!

I see. My master was correct. It regenerates when destroyed.

Then I'll simply keep destroying it. I won't let you take another step.

Halt.

I believe I'll be able to stop it. In that case...

Schwert, transform to serve your master.

Livia.

Yes.

Royal ship Vice...

Grant us your strength.

Direct hit.

We did it!

What?

It's regenerating.

N-No way.

I knew it wouldn't work.

Angie, Livia, shoot it again.

Here it comes. Marie, shield them!

B-But...

Show us what a fake Saint can do!

Do you have to put it like that?

You jerk!

Th-There's too many of them!

Marie!

Julius.

Marie, I...

I am the Masked Knight.

That really doesn't matter right now!

Why are you on the front line?

We'll protect Marie!

We love her!

Now is the time to prove that!

Looks like they'll be fine. Now, what's next?

Okay, phase two!

We'll penetrate the titan's barrier!

Livia!

Yes!

Hey, help me!

Partner!

Barrier penetrated!

Not the guardian's impenetrable barrier!

Love can penetrate any barrier.

Lovely Beam!

Okay. Now we just need to...

It's not over yet.

Even without its barrier, they cannot defeat the guardian.

Damn you!

Shoot them down!

Damn, we're done for!

Livia...

What is it, Livia?

Wh-Why is everyone fighting?

It hurts so much.

Why indeed?

Air bikes, roll out!

Damn!

No matter how just the cause, it always hurts to shed blood.

Enemy rounds incoming!

Take us higher!

I don't want anyone to get hurt.

Endure it! You must endure it!

You're right.

Take this!

Me, too!

You're not getting away!

I'm not done yet!

I'm sure everyone feels the same way.

Don't touch me.

Nobody wants to get hurt.

But we all fight to protect something regardless.

- Help! I don't want to die!

- Protect?

What is this? The voices of the dying?

Perhaps you could call it sympathy.

Olivia's responding to her surroundings.

You've been feeling this the whole time?

What I want to protect is...

Livia.

What is that?

My rage...

It's vanishing?

My desire to fight...

It's melting away.

Stop!

No.

Stop.

You expect this to make us forget our grudge?

Let's put an end to this. Let's stop fighting.

You can't be serious!

It's too late!

Livia's voice resonates in people's hearts.

Everyone wants to protect what's important to them.

I know that feeling well.

It's not just her words.

Her feelings enter their hearts, too.

So I don't want anyone to hurt anyone else anymore.

It's warm and comfortable.

What a powerful mental attack.

Damn it!

Stop!

The power of love.

Now that I've experienced it firsthand, I can say it's irresistible.

Even though I'm fighting my hardest,

I was asked if this nation is worth protecting.

Sorry about that, Leon.

And now they've gone on a rampage!

Next time, "They Hit Where It Hurts."

Luxion, erect a barrier around my mind!

Oh, hey, Mr. Bandel. 'Sup?
