Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 44: On One's Honor - Episode 1
Freesia admonishes Gandharva for moving troops without permission, but Gandharva insists that his orders came directly from the Emperor. Freesia, knowing that no such person exists, decides to head back to Agastia to investigate.
Gentle sunlight penetrates the corridors of the Fourth Hall.
Gandharva: Well, then... How do we make today an interesting one...
Freesia: Humph. You seem cheerful, considering your recent performance in battle.
Gandharva: Huh? Better than constantly having a stick up the rear like you.
Freesia: Watch your mouth, Lieutenant General Gandharva.
Freesia: You forget that I currently hold the full authority of the Erste Empire.
Gandharva: ...
Freesia: Unbelievable... I suppose I'll need to rethink trusting you next time.
Freesia: You used troops without permission and failed to apprehend Lecia, captain of the Fourth Fleet.
Freesia: Reports indicate that you encountered her in person yesterday, and yet she got away?
Freesia: Tell me, Lieutenant General Gandharva. Do you actually plan on capturing her?
Gandharva: Of course I do. But other things keep getting in the way...
Freesia: If it's a matter of lacking the requisite strength, take this.
Freesia hands Gandharva a crystal glowing with sinister light.
Gandharva: Dark essence?
Freesia: Yes. Using this, you could lay waste to this entire island if you so wished.
Freesia: ...!
Drawing his sword with imperceptible speed, Gandharva slices through the crystal.
Gandharva: Just the kind of trickery I hate. Never offer me something like that again.
Freesia: You...
Gandharva: Even without your cowardly tools, this will all be settled today. Because I can smell it... the scent of a beast that's finally woken up.
Gandharva: This is a chance for a glorious battle. Don't get in the way of that, or next time I'll cut you down.
Freesia: Grr...
Gandharva: And one other thing. I wasn't acting on my own when I invaded Amalthea. I got permission for it.
Freesia: Permission? Impossible! Who could have given you permission?
Gandharva: Who do you think? The one we all fight to defend: his Imperial Highness, the Emperor.
Freesia: What... the Emperor himself?
Gandharva: You got it. With the Black Knight out of the picture, there's no more use keeping ties with the Crew of Enforcers.
Gandharva: That's what he said, before giving me the order to come and take their little base away from them.
Freesia: You lie! That isn't possible!
Gandharva: Isn't it? Go and ask him yourself then.
Gandharva: That should be proof enough for the high and mighty Prime Minister Freesia.
Freesia: (No. That's not what I meant, you fool.)
Freesia: (The Emperor could not have issued a direct order. That's literally impossible.)
Freesia: (I only act as though we have an emperor ruling over us. At the moment, our empire is without someone to sit on the throne.)
Freesia: (The Erste Kingdom, predecessor to the Erste Empire, had no royal families aside from the direct line.)
Freesia: (And the last of them, Orchis, is in no state to play empress...)
Freesia: (So who is this impostor? Just what has been going on while I've been away from Agastia?)
Gandharva: What's wrong? Is the invasion of Amalthea such a shock?
Freesia: I'm returning to Agastia.
Freesia: Lieutenant General Gandharva, I expect you to capture this annoying little girl as quickly as possible. Understand?
Freesia turns and hastily exits the Fourth Hall.
Gandharva: Here one moment, gone the next. That woman needs to learn to take a break.
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 44: On One's Honor - Episode 2
(Captain), Lecia, and the crew of enforcers begin heading toward the Fourth Hall. Lecia announces to a group of imperial soldiers that she no longer has any intention of hiding.
It's the morning after Lecia made her new resolution. She and the crew are navigating the ruins of the town, heading toward the Fourth Hall.
Lecia: Well... You all know the plan. Good luck.
Skyfarer: Yes ma'am. You too, Captain Lecia. Please keep safe.
Katalina: Lecia... Are you sure about this strategy?
Lecia: Yes. This is definitely the best option we can do for now.
Rackam: It's a bold one, for sure. But even so, it makes sense.
Eugen: Those are the best kind! You've got my faith at least, Lecia.
Lecia: I appreciate it!
Io: I like it too! Best of all, it's super easy to understand!
Lyria: Hehe. And it just screams Lecia, that's for sure.
Vyrn: We've come this far! Now we just gotta see things through to the end!
Orchis: Lecia. Good luck. I hope it goes well.
Lecia: Thank you for believing in me... giving me your trust. It means a lot.
Katalina: You're worth our trust, that's why. You've come up with a brilliant plan; be proud!
Lecia: I will!
Imperial Soldier 1: Good... Zone's clear. Advancing to next area.
Lecia: ...
Imperial Soldier 1: Huh? Y-you there!
Lecia: I am Captain Lecia of the Crew of Enforcers' Fourth Fleet!
Lecia: I'm not going to run or hide any longer! I'm right here!
Imperial Soldier 1: What's she playing at?
Imperial Soldier 2: Whatever it is, we need to let the lieutenant general know about this! You! Go get the others! We can't let her escape again!
The imperial soldiers begin to panic, spurred into action by Lecia's sudden appearance.
Lecia: Right. Let's go, (Captain). It's time to settle this!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 44: On One's Honor - Episode 2: Scene 2
An imperial soldier runs to Gandharva and reports that Lecia has been sighted. Gandharva reads her bold move as a ploy.
Imperial Soldier: Lieutenant General Gandharva! It's Lecia! Captain Lecia has shown herself!
Gandharva: She's here? Where! Where did you find her?
Imperial Soldier: That's the thing, sir. She appeared of her own accord, right in front of a patrol...
Gandharva: What? Is she trying to give herself up again?
Imperial Soldier: That doesn't appear to be the case... More troops are heading to join the fight against her force.
Gandharva: So, she's appeared of her own accord, but is still resisting capture?
Gandharva: Interesting. Very interesting... This must be part of some sort of plan!
Gandharva: Quick, tell me her location. I'll go and settle this myself.
Imperial Soldier: Yes, sir. I'll take you there immediately!
Gandharva: No, you stay here.
Imperial Soldier: Sir?
Gandharva: All troops currently posted in the Fourth Hall are not to leave their positions. Understand?
Gandharva: So Lecia, what's your next move? Sorry to disappoint, but I've no plans to open a hole in my defenses so easily!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 44: On One's Honor - Episode 3
Expecting Gandharva to tighten defenses around the Fourth Hall, Lecia plans to bait the lieutenant general out for a fight. (Captain) and the others fight a horde of imperial troops as they wait to see if the strategy has worked.
Katalina: Do you really think he'll take the bait?
Lecia: I'm sure of it. If Gandharva wants to capture me so much, he won't be able to ignore this move.
Lecia: I might not be a combat genius, but I'm stronger than your average person. I've trained so hard, after all!
Lecia: So these grunts are no match for me, and he knows it.
Katalina: Good point... But you've got one thing wrong.
Lecia: Huh? Really? What exactly?
Katalina: You are a genius. Perhaps not when it comes to combat, but you have something special that others clearly don't.
Katalina: You're too hard on yourself. Keep it up for too long, and it will become an unfortunate habit.
Lecia: Th-thank you for saying that.
Lyria: Ah! Lecia, you're blushing!
Lecia: What! Ah, I'm sorry! I'm not really used to hearing this kind of thing!
Lecia: I've always thought you were really harsh, Katalina, so it's kind of surprising hearing you praise me like this.
Katalina: Really? I don't mean to give that impression...
Io: I'm with Lecia on this. You can be kinda scary when you're around her, Katalina.
Lyria: Haha. But Katalina has a cute side too! Like when she gets flustered around Vyrn!
Lecia: She's got a side like that?
Katalina: Lyria! There's no need to bring that up now!
Eugen: Sorry to interrupt this touching scene, but we've still got imperial goons incomin'! Get ready, (Captain)!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 44: On One's Honor - Episode 3: Scene 2
Gandharva falls for Lecia's bait. At her signal, hidden Enforcers appear to assist (Captain) and the crew launch a full scale attack against the lieutenant general.
Lecia: Everybody hold on a second. This is the place.
Lecia: Our flying column should be in position by now.
Lecia: So now we just need Gandharva to come face us here.
Gandharva: Oh! All this for me?
Io: Looks like he's all alone. Seems like he doesn't have any soldiers with him at all...
Lecia: Coming to the front line without any backup? What is he plotting?
Gandharva: I could ask you the same thing about your own little plan! Let's just stop with all the tricks!
Gandharva: What happened to your Enforcers? The only ones I see around you are those wanted criminals.
Gandharva: Wiped out... Pfft, doubt that. So where are they, huh?
Lecia: There's no need for us to answer that.
Gandharva: Oh, is that so? Well, if you're planning on acting as a decoy, then you've lost, Lecia!
Gandharva: All the men in my personal guard are defending the Fourth Hall even as we speak!
Gandharva: Even if I'm not there with them, your people won't be able to take the Fourth Hall back!
Lecia: I see. That's totally fine.
Gandharva: What?
Lecia: You're right that we split our forces into two.
Lecia: But you got the destination wrong. They aren't anywhere near the Fourth Hall.
Lecia: They're right here, with us!
When Lecia raises her arm, dozens of skyfarers appear from hiding places. They have Gandharva completely surrounded.
Gandharva: Well...
Lecia: Dividing our forces naturally made you think that we were fighting on two fronts, and using one group as a decoy.
Lecia: However, even if we take the base back, it would mean nothing if you're still alive.
Lecia: So our first order of business has to be to defeat you using everything we've got.
Lecia: In order to achieve that, we needed to reduce the numbers of those defending you as much as possible.
Lecia: So we made you think that we were the decoy and made you divide your own forces as a result.
Gandharva: Impressive! So cunning and so proud—just like your damn father.
Gandharva: There's just one thing you've overlooked.
Gandharva: Defeat me with everything you've got? That's a novel idea.
Gandharva: But if this rag-tag band is all you've got, you sure you can beat me?
Lecia: Well. I guess we'll find out, won't we?
Gandharva: That's what I like to hear! Come on, all of you! No holding back! I'll punch you all into oblivion!
Katalina: Hah. Fair enough. He's asking for it, so let's give him what he wants.
Rackam: You said it! I've had enough of this ape!
Io: Let's do this! I wanna see how he likes the taste of my magic!
Eugen: Pride comes before a fall. We'll teach him the price of overconfidence!
Lecia: It's time, (Captain). Let's focus all of our strength and defeat Lieutenant General Gandharva once and for all!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 44: On One's Honor - Episode 4
Although (Captain) and the others focus everything they've got on Gandharva, he's able to pick them off one by one. Lecia curses her inability to do anything, but she still fights on in order to save her comrades.
Rackam: Whew... Talk about focused fire! I reckon we could even defeat a primal beast fightin' like this!
Io: Yeah, but isn't this kind of a lot?
Gandharva: Sigh...
Lecia: ...!
Katalina: I-impossible! How did he survive all of that?
Gandharva: Mm? That it? My turn now.
Katalina: What! He vanished!
Lyria: Katalina! Behind you!
Katalina: Wha—
Katalina: G'ugh!
Gandharva: One down.
Rackam: Damn it! How did he do that? Is this what he's really capable of?
Gandharva: Indeed it is.
Rackam: Ahh! When did—
Rackam: Argh!
Gandharva: Insurmountable odds are boring. Felt better when I was holding back, didn't it?
Gandharva: No one even tries to fight an opponent when they know they absolutely cannot win.
Lecia: No...
Faced with Gandharva's immense strength, the crew and Lecia's enforcers helplessly fall one by one.
Soon (Captain), Vyrn, Lyria, and Lecia are the only ones left standing.
Gandharva: Now then. Looks like you four are the only ones left. I have to admit this has been fun.
Lecia: Grr...
Gandharva: Looks like you guys did your best. You're on the way to achieving true strength, most definitely.
Gandharva: But right now, you simply aren't good enough. You don't have what it takes to stand up to me.
Lecia: ...
Lecia: (Father... Is this really how it ends?)
Lecia: (I was afraid of this... That I wouldn't be able to save everyone...)
Lecia: (That I don't have what it takes...)
Lecia: No.
Gandharva: Come again?
Lecia: To save someone... To protect your friends... You don't need anything special.
Lecia: I'm not a hero like my father. And I don't have the kind of power that he or Monika have.
Lecia: But I'm still the one who promised to save my friends!
Lecia: I vowed to protect them! And I won't let anyone take that away from me!
Gandharva: Which means? You're not a hero. You've got no power to speak of. What exactly do you plan to do?
Lecia: I won't allow you to hurt anyone else! I'm going to defeat you, here and now!
Gandharva: Hahaha! Come on then, try it!
Gandharva: The daughter of a tyrant who commands the skies... Show me the power of your bloodline!
Lecia: We can do this, (Captain). I'm not going to run away again. I will not lose!
Act 1: Girl in Blue - Chapter 44: On One's Honor - Episode 4: Scene 2
After Lecia defeats Gandharva and drives the imperial troops from Amalthea, she has to answer to Monika for her rash actions. Monika asks Lecia to step down as captain and join up with (Captain)'s crew, thus begins a new adventure for the Enforcer.
Gandharva: Urgh... Cough...
Lecia: Pant... Pant...
Vyrn: H-hey! Lecia, are you okay?
Gandharva: So that was your full power. Not bad. You're the child of that tyrant, no doubt.
Gandharva: I must look like a fool... But, argh, this is it...
Imperial Soldier: Lieutenant General! Someone, help him!
Imperial Soldier: Retreat! We need to get off this island immediately and get the lieutenant general to safety!
Although the battle was furious, (Captain) and Lecia prove victorious against Gandharva.
With their lieutenant general defeated, the imperials waste no time in withdrawing from Amalthea.
Monika: Well done, Lecia! You've made our crew proud!
Lecia: Th-thank you... But please, I'm bruised all over, so stop patting my back so hard!
Monika: Bah, you fought Gandharva, so you're lucky to just be bruised a little!
Lecia: I guess so... Ouch...
Monika: That was more than luck, wasn't it? I need to thank you too, (Captain).
Monika: Although, after everything you've done for Lecia, I don't think I can thank you enough!
Rackam: Seriously, you guys finished him off before we had come to.
Katalina: Haha. You really are something else.
Io: I can't believe that guy could just hurt people so easily!
Eugen: Haha. Well, from what I've heard, sounds like he's a lot worse for wear than any of us.
Monika: Indeed. But we have to use this time to fortify our defenses as best we can.
Monika: We can't be sure that they won't be back to mount another offensive.
Monika: Ah, but Lecia, there's something else we need to discuss.
Monika: And I think you know where this is going...
Lecia: Yeah... I'm sorry for leaving the island without permission.
Monika: There are serious repercussions when a captain acts so irresponsibly.
Monika: And what's worse, you unfortunately weren't around when they invaded.
Monika: As your second in command, it's my job to pass judgment on you.
Lecia: I understand.
Lyria: Wait a moment! Lecia saved the island. Please don't be too harsh on her.
Monika: Saving the island is one thing. This is another thing entirely.
Monika: You see, doing a good thing doesn't automatically erase a bad one.
Lecia: Thank you, Lyria, but it's okay. I knew this was coming.
Monika: In which case... Lecia, as the deputy captain of the Fourth Fleet...
Monika: I hereby recommend that you resign your post as captain of the Fourth Fleet.
Lecia: Okay...
Monika: Will you? That's only my recommendation. I won't force the issue.
Lecia: No, you're right. I think it was a little too soon for me to become a captain.
Lyria: Lecia...
Monika: Therefore, by the power invested in me as the deputy captain, I accept your resignation.
Monika: Which makes me the tentative captain of the Fourth.
Lecia: It does... But that's, um, obvious?
Monika: Ahem. Then, Lecia, let me immediately give you some new orders.
Lecia: Huh?
Monika: Lecia. I order you to become part of (Captain)'s crew. Effective immediately.
Lecia: Wha... What!
Monika: It sounds like you and (Captain) have become quite an effective team.
Lecia: Maybe, but this is still a bit out of the blue...
Katalina: I think it's a good idea. We've no reason to turn her down, right?
Choose: Welcome aboard!
Vyrn: Well said! The more the merrier!
Choose: I'll show you what real work is!
Lecia: What? You're not going to make me swab any decks are you?
Continue 1Monika: Anyway, on a serious note, the Erste Empire has been acting most suspiciously recently.
Monika: I want the Crew of Enforcers to join forces with (Captain) and work together to oppose the empire.
Lecia: And that's why you're assigning me to (Captain)'s crew?
Monika: You're right on the money! Profit from this new experience, Lecia!
To seal Lecia's new orders, Monika slaps (Captain)'s newest crew member on the back.
Lecia reels from the smack, but her heart flutters at the thought of the coming adventures.
