01x10 - Escape: Just the Two of Us

[bunniefuu]

About 6,000 gedrels in
Plane Space from Sufugnoff...

...is the Yunyu Star System.

The distance can be covered
in a short 5 hours by shuttle.

The Abh fleets are here.

The flagship of the fleets
is the patrol ship Keldeij.

Admiral Trife Bolj
Yuvdale Remsale...

...is in command and
about to give orders.

as*ault fleet, Buledef

as*ault fleet, Lokale

as*ault fleet, Wakapeil

as*ault fleet, Kitil

Attack fleet, Bask Gumryuf

Scout fleet, Futune

Supply fleet, Ashmatoush

Admiral Trife, Commander

Major Kahyul, Chief of Staff

I see. Show me.

The enemy now knows that
we're approaching them.

Judging from output, we assume
they have about three yudhyul.

They're definitely
in an attack posture.

So this is the full force
of the enemy?

I assume so.

I don't want assumptions.
Get me facts.

Unfortunately...

...we need more solid
information to confirm that...

...and we lack such information.

The Information Bureau didn't
even pick up on this attack...

...thus it is impossible
to determine their full force.

The Information Bureau!

A bunch of peanut brains unable
to even feed the cats!

Aren't you being a bit harsh,
Your Excellency?

You think so, Nastorya?

You were just transferred from
the Information Bureau, right?

I take that back then.

The people at the
Information Bureau...

...are perfectly suited
to feed cats.

I'm sure the people at
the Information Bureau...

...will be honored that
you feel that way.

I'm glad to hear that.

It's me, Lafiel.

Where did you go?

I was searching the area.

I asked where you went.

Not what you were doing.

To the top of a hill.

You fool!

What's wrong?

What if the enemy sees you?!

Don't worry, there
was nobody there.

They could be looking
for us from above.

I'm not wearing
my long uniform...

...so they'll just think
I'm one of the locals.

Don't count on the enemy
to overlook such things.

All right.

I'll never act as hastily again.

I promise.

That's right. Never leave my
side without telling me first.

But you were sound asleep.

Oh, were you worried because
you woke up to find me gone?

You fool!

Let's see...

Think we should move on,
just in case?

That would be wise.

There's nothing interesting
about this place, anyway.

I'm thinking of going into town.

Into town?

Right.

Don't you think it's better
than hiding out in the fields?

But isn't that dangerous?

It is.

But it's just as
dangerous here.

You're the one who said we
should proceed when unsure.

Besides, we can't get
any food here.

Don't you agree?

Starving to death in the fields...

...is probably about the second
least dignified way to die.

You're right.

Jinto.

Yeah?

Go ahead.
I'll catch up with you.

But why?

Don't ask.

Are you tired?

I'm not tired!

Why do you say that?!

Well, then what is it?

I told you not to ask.

But, there are no signposts here.

If we ever got separated...

Then you shall wait right there!

Really, what's the matter?

Leave me alone.

Lafiel, I can't leave
you alone here.

Whether you like it or not,
right now...

...we've gotta help each other.

We've gotta talk it over and
come up with solutions together.

Forget it!

You're about as thick
as frozen vegetables!

You just wait right here.

Don't you dare look this way!

Lafiel!

Lafiel?

What is it?

Are you okay?

Why do you ask?

Don't your feet hurt?

They do.

Are you hungry?

Watch your step.

There's a hole.

Right.

Jinto.

Yeah?

Be quiet.

Right.

Come on.
It's your turn, Lafiel!

I'll be right there!

Are you okay?

Of course I'm okay!

Don't overdo it.

I'm not overdoing it.

I'm going into town now.

Alone?

Well, naturally.

Why?

Is there a reason why I can't
go with you into town?

We can't go dressed
like this into a town...

...occupied by the enemy.

Besides...

...you stand out too much.

I finally realized it.

That this princess who set
foot on land for the first time...

...was completely
ignorant of this world.

He's unlike anyone I've known.

Can I really trust him?

I'll get some clothes
for you in town.

I'll be back as soon as possible,
so wait here.

Why can't she
show a little charm?

You going already?

Yeah.

We should act quickly.

You could be hurrying
toward disaster.

Damn!

I guess I can trust him.

"You're the only one within


Yeah, right.

It would be nice if she'd say
something like that just once.

Lune Biga City

Good Prices For Jewelry

Good evening, sir.

You, over there!
Stop at once!

What do you want?!

Let go of me!

You, as well!

There's nothing
to be worried about.

No one will get hurt
as long as you cooperate.

I'm sure you've been
notified by the Army.

You must change the color
of your hair immediately.

I'll do whatever
I want with my hair!

We are from the information
unit of the United Mankind.

If you have a friend or family
member with dyed blue hair...

...advise them to change the color
to something suited to humans.

I repeat...

Forget it!

This is convenient.

You just have to
spray it on your hair.

See?!

I'm not doing it!

Don't you like black?

I was sure you'd prefer
it to red or blonde.

It's not that I don't like black.

I like my hair color as it is!

It's a fine color,
don't you think?

It's not too dark,
and it's not too light.

I think it's very beautiful.

But people with their hair dyed
blue are being arrested in town.

I did not dye my hair!

Something tells me that
you'd be in bigger trouble...

...if they found out
your hair isn't dyed.

It's just for a short time.

Okay?

I guess I have no choice.

Give me a break.

And they think nothing
of messing with their genes.

Also...

...there's one other thing.

Those clothes look good on you.

Then why do
you keep laughing?

I'm not laughing...

I can't believe how
relaxed you are.

That goes for you too.

You slept like a baby.

Shut up. I was exhausted.

Do you think we look
like brother and sister?

Of course not.

We're not brother and sister.

Then we have a problem.

Why's that?

I thought we'd go
into town as siblings.

Why should we have
to make up such a lie?

Well, we can't possibly
tell the truth.

That's a strange thing to say.

Only you and I have to know
what our relationship is.

Well, that's true.

But there may be people
who insist on knowing.

Back in Delktoe, the cops would
come flying the moment...

...they heard of a juvenile
couple staying at a hotel.

I don't know about you,
but I'm not a juvenile.

I don't consider myself
a juvenile either...

...but we're still juveniles
in the eyes of others.

But this is not Delktoe.

Do you think it's something
to be concerned about?

We should avoid anything
that would attract attention.

We need to blend in.

Jinto.

Am I getting in your
way by any chance?

Huh?

What makes you say that?

If it weren't for me, you could
blend into the population.

Well, that's true.

I guess it would be easier
for me to just blend in.

I am a Terran, after all.

But you're an Abh.

Or are you unhappy
about being an Abh?

I'm not sure.

Maybe it is a bit of a burden.

But that doesn't mean
I'm unhappy about it.

But if I'm asked which I am...

...I'd say that I was a Terran.

After all, I was born
and raised on a planet.

I never realized
you felt that way.

Don't let me-or the Empire...

...get in your way.

If you don't mind giving up
your title as Count...

...we can part ways here.

As I said before...

...I don't want to hold you back.

Are you serious, Lafiel?

I'm serious.

I can get by just fine
without you.

Not a chance!

I don't mind giving
up my title as Count...

...but there's no way
I'm leaving you here.

Why not?

I wouldn't be happy one bit
surviving after doing that!

What do you mean you don't
want to hold me back?

What do you mean you can
get by just fine without me?!

You're contradicting
yourself, Lafiel!

How can anyone who's become
a burden get by on her own?!

You were the one
who brought me here.

If you told me to fly a spacecraft,
I couldn't have done it.

That's why I needed you.

Everyone has their
strengths and weaknesses.

We help each other out by
relying on our strengths...

...so what's this nonsense
about being a burden?

Do you understand, Lafiel?

Am I making sense to you?

Or is it that I've become
the burden to you?

If that's the case, then so be it.

Go ahead and abandon this
pathetic commodity.

In any case, I won't be
the one leaving you!

I get your point.

You shall forgive me, Jinto.

You're a man of enormous pride.

I may be a man who's unsure
if he's a Terran or an Abh...

...but I do have my pride.

What is it this time?

I'm very busy as it is.

I can't have the occupation
army push me around like this.

Oh, but...

The Liberation Army's here.

I appreciate your help.

This is Lieutenant Kyte of the
United Mankind peace force.

This is Lieutenant Kyte of the
United Mankind peace force.

This is Inspector Entryua,
our star criminal investigator.

Nice to meet you, Inspector.

And what can I do for you?

A few hours ago, some people
in this town were assaulted...

...and had their car stolen.

We have great interest
in this particular incident.

And why is that?

We were told that one of
the offenders spoke Abh...

...and was as beautiful
as an Abh.

What's the file number?



What was an Abh
doing walking on land?

With regards to that...

...although just speculation...

...we think it might have to do
with an Imperial landing pod...

...discovered not too far
from the crime scene.

So you're saying whoever
was on the pod stole the car?

There is a great
possibility of that.

Can't we get any solid facts?

It's certainly worth looking into.

I'd like to help out
in this investigation.

And in return...

...I want you to hand over
the offenders to us.

Hey, hey. Wait a minute.

Ah, Inspector Entryua...

...it's already a done deal.

And you don't have the
authority to override it.

That Abh is accompanied by
a particular Imperial citizen.

A detestable human, who...

...although born a free citizen...

...has chosen to join the enemy.

Did you just feel a draft?

Not at all.

Oh...

That's not like you.

What's not?

You have a puzzled
look on your face.

It doesn't suit you.

I like you more with
your silly expressions.

Do I always have a
silly look on my face?

It keeps me at ease.

l remember dreaming
of a scene like this...

...where I'd be driving
with a girl by my side.

And right now...

...I've got the most beautiful
girl in the galaxy by my side.

What are those?

Maybe some sort of monument?

To what?

I dunno.

Yet, I could not
get my spirits up.

Let's check every
resident in town.

That's ridiculous.
That'll take us years.

Then?

Let's see.

We'll first check
the hotels and hostels.

There aren't too many people
travelling around nowadays.

Let's hope they're stupid
enough to stay in one.

What a beautiful morning,
Lafiel.

As you do not live under
a democratic system...

...you have been misinformed
of the current situation...

...about the intentions of the
Abh in this planetary system.

This is unjust....

Another propaganda broadcast
by the occupying army.

Interesting?

Not at all.

But there's nothing better to do.

Your leader accepted Abh rule
as if there was no other choice.

As a true democratic leader...

...he should
have fought back...

...to bring down
this oppressive regime.

Planets under Abh control are...

Why don't we have
something to eat.

What do you want?

Doesn't matter. Nothing's going
to taste any good to me anyway.

Then leave it to me.

Excuse me.

No, don't!

Just a moment!

Who are you?

Oh, can't you tell
by my uniform?

I'm a chambermaid.

Chambermaid?

That's right.

I've come to turn down your beds.

Do you do this everyday?

Yes, if the guest desires.

In that case, it's fine.

Just leave the sheets at the door,
and we'll do it ourselves.

Well, it's okay with me, but...

Oh, and another thing.

I want you to enter only after
you're told it's okay to come in.

Yes, that's what we always do.

But you just...

Is there anything else?

Sir, excuse me for asking...

...but are you aware of
the term "tip"?

Uh, well...

Or perhaps I should
use the term "gratuity"?

Right. Gotcha!

Enjoy your stay.

What was all that about?

Yeah, really.

Can we win?

Yes.

However, that is assuming
that the forces before us...

...are all of the enemy's forces.

I'm not comfortable with a
strategy based on assumptions.

Then do you wish to retreat?

I leave issues of personal
preferences for later.

We'll recapture Sufugnoff.

Shall we include the elimination
of the enemy in our objectives?

Captain Shuril, Strategy Officer

Captain Shuril, Strategy Officer

An attractive alternative.

We do have the Futune, after all.

We could then have our armored
cavalry gallop through space and...

No, that won't do!

Our objective is strictly
to recapture Sufugnoff!

But...

Shut up!

Don't try and tempt
me into it again.

So we'll threaten the enemy
as we proceed forward.

That's right.

We'll make a show of force...

...in a broad formation
and slowly advance it.

Seeing that, the enemy
will surely retreat.

Officers! We will now move
in to recapture Sufugnoff!

Should we enter a
battle by any chance...

...I look forward to seeing your
battle skills in all of their glory.

Move out!

At that moment...

...the engines of the Star Forces'


Don't give me my
freedom out of pity

Unlike back in those days

I don't have the confidence
to fly very well

So I'll stay in my
birdcage for now

I WANNA FLY AWAY

Until the lost blue skies return

I'll just keep singing for you

It's not hatred.

It's love.

Prepare for encirclement!

Probability of destroying
enemy mine, 83%.

Probability of space time
mine convergence, 98.6%.

I don't get it either.

My father taught me
that every Abh must...

...carry the guilt and
mission on one's shoulders.

And I believe he's right.

In other words,
Abhs are not human.

Do you regret
becoming an Abh?
