00:19I don't know how long it's going to be, but I don't know how long it's going to be.
00:26One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

00:58Ah, kimi-no-koe-ga-ki-to-boku-no-michi-shiru-be
01:29Ready or not, the big day is here
01:31So this is the festival?
01:33I can feel the excitement in the air, it's buzzing!
01:36Just a quick look, and then we must return to the soothing council office
01:39I want to get as much practice in for the play as we possibly can
01:43Of course, m'lady
01:44Anna, Grace!
01:47Guess who?
01:49You came to see me!
01:50Madam!
01:51Pardon, I mean Mrs.
01:53Gosh, this place is just buzzing!
01:56Welcome to the campus festival
01:57Shall we give you a tour around the premises?
02:00Shucks, don't worry about me
02:01I'm sure you two have your hands full already
02:04Well, you're not wrong about that
02:10Come one and come all
02:11Later today, the Earth Magic Enthusiast Club will present an exciting live golem fight
02:16That is sure to knock you off your feet
02:18Not so fast, gentlemen
02:19You know displays of magic are prohibited outside of the designated spots
02:24Aw, come on, it won't last long
02:26We're just doing a little bit of healthy promotion is all
02:29To the Earth with you
02:36Father, it's you
02:39Two Covern is amongst us
02:41You mean Lady Grace's father?
02:43And the Minister of Finance
02:45I appreciate your show of enthusiasm, boys
02:48But keep in mind there is a proper time and place for everything
02:52Yes, yes, sir!
02:54We didn't mean any harm, sorry!
02:56Please excuse us!
02:58We thank you for your assistance, Father
03:00No, please, it was nothing
03:02The festival has a tendency to be a bit rowdy
03:04Since children from noble families all tend to have a selfish streak
03:07There are always a few impromptu concerts or magical shows that tend to pop up every year
03:14It sounds like there's a party going on somewhere
03:16That's supposed to be a performance-free zone
03:19Nobody knows how to follow the rules
03:21Don't mind me, attend to your duties, Grace
03:24Thank you, then please excuse us, Father
03:26Remember, your mother and I will be coming to see you perform in your play later
03:30That sounds great, see you then
03:33Would you look at her, my lord
03:35She is the spinning image of Lady Jacqueline in her younger years
03:39Yes, it's truly amazing
03:42I'm reminded of my own days here at the academy
03:55What is it, my lord?
03:56Oh, uh...
03:58Uh, it's nothing
04:00It seems things have finally settled down
04:03Yeah, what a rough start
04:05It appears my father was absolutely right
04:08The second we look away, there's unauthorized events all over the place
04:11I never realized just how selfish our students could really be
04:15I must say you handled it masterfully
04:17You politely talked everyone down instead of just giving them a thorough tongue lashing
04:22Well, yes, of course
04:23It wouldn't be proper of me to use my family's authority to try and strong-arm them
04:28I know how tempting it can be to go crazy at a festival
04:31Back when I was in college, I held a few surprise performances during our festival, too
04:36Be that as it may, there's only one hour left until our council goes on stage for our play
04:41We must hurry and make our final preparations
04:45Lady Grace! Anna!
04:48Excellent timing, Fran
04:49We need to gather everyone together
04:51Oh, yes, it's already taken care of
04:53Come on in
04:57About time you showed, we've been waiting
04:59Good work out there
05:00You're already here?
05:02I'm confused, but why?
05:04That's easy
05:05We've seen how committed you are to this production
05:07And all its success
05:08It would be in extremely poor form if we didn't pull our weight, too
05:12Oh, you guys!
05:16I must apologize
05:18Huh?
05:19The honest truth is, in spite of my very best efforts to cure the issue, there are so many lines
05:24that I cannot say properly
05:26My performance is sure to drag you all down
05:28Oh, you mean your struggle to speak like a commoner?
05:32No matter how hard you try, you can't fool my sharp eyes
05:36Lady Anna and Lady Fran have graciously kept us all apprised
05:42No one is going to give you a hard time about it
05:44The fact you can't use commoner language is natural
05:47It's just, the manners of the upper class have been drilled into every fiber of your being
05:52Wouldn't you agree on that, m'lady?
05:54Yes, the genius of Lady Grace
05:56Your Highness
05:58I thank you dearly
06:00Your exceptional compassion is truly appreciated
06:03Takes real savvy to recognize the struggles of others at his young age
06:07I hope he continues down this path to become a great king
06:11What if we keep it simple, and just let Lady Grace speak in her normal tone for the whole play?
06:16I was thinking the same thing!
06:18In certain situations like this, it's best to just go on stage and own it
06:21Because then the audience will accept it as part of the actual play
06:24There's nothing to worry about
06:26Huh?
06:26You know we're all just a bunch of amateur actors
06:30Nobody's going to expect perfection
06:31Right
06:32And if someone dares laugh at us, I'll make sure they get us smacked to the head
06:36What matters is we have fun, and that's all
06:38You won't see any mistakes coming from me, at least
06:41I have all the dialogue memorized
06:44So if anyone slips up, then I will cover for them
06:46The same goes for me, Lady Grace
06:53Thanks, I'm glad to have your support
06:56Let's make our way to the auditorium then
06:58The show is about to start
07:00Okay!
07:06It's pretty much a full house
07:08That's the popularity of the student council for you!
07:11Lady Grace!
07:13I see someone sitting next to the duke on the second floor, is she?
07:17Yes, that's my mother
07:18Hmm, I can't see her very well in the dim light
07:21Curious about Duchess Jacqueline?
07:24I spoke with her earlier
07:25Prince Lucas!
07:26And guess what she told me!
07:29I'll have to tell you later
07:30Let's have a blast!
07:32It's go time now!
07:34Sounds terrific!
07:35Yeah, let's break a leg!
07:38Thank you for your patience!
07:39I am pleased to announce the student council's performance of The Prince and the Peasant will now begin!
07:58Here comes the first big hurdle
08:00Now it's not at all uncommon for new actors to blank out when they stand on the stage for the
08:04first time!
08:05I am at the ready to use my wind magic to feed her the line if she forgets
08:09Wait, don't do that yet, your highness
08:17Working my butt off every day hasn't made life any easier
08:22But it's fine
08:25Cause I ain't no quitter!
08:27My luck's gonna change!
08:28I was born on the same day as The Prince after all!
08:31It's only a matter of time until I hit it big!
08:37She completely nailed it!
08:39The audience is totally into her amazing performance right off the bat!
08:42Yes, she's a natural
08:44All the talent you'd expect of the main character
08:47I always seem to forget
08:48But I'm supposed to be the villainous of this world
08:51So I have no reason to be concerned with drawing enough attention on stage
08:55I'll let Anna have the spotlight
08:57And I'll just focus on playing second fiddle
09:00Guardsmen!
09:01You must handle my subjects with more decency
09:04Escort that young man inside!
09:09You know, I'd do anything to live in this palace
09:12I see
09:13I fancy the idea of experiencing the life of a commoner myself
09:17Well, it's your lucky day!
09:20I'm here to grant those wishes!
09:21Huh?
09:28My fairy magic can make your souls pull a little swapper!
09:33Now it's your turn!
09:35I'm on it!
09:36Rose Tempest!
09:44Good heavens!
09:46Why am I seeing myself over there?
09:48Could it be?
09:50Am I now residing in the body of young Toby?
09:54Good luck, m'lady!
09:57Hold your horses!
09:59Does that make me the fancy pants, Prince?
10:03Wait, just a moment!
10:05Does this mean that I have become none other than...
10:08The illustrious Prince?
10:21Bingo!
10:22And as a bonus...
10:25I cast a little spell that makes you even talk like the Prince, too!
10:32Unbelievable!
10:37Well, way to go, Prince Lucas!
10:39That was the perfect ad-lib!
10:41And totally in character for you!
10:43Thanks to you, we don't have to worry about the Prince's dialogue!
10:46Impressive, huh?
10:47But it wasn't me...
10:49Huh?
10:50It was Duchess Jacqueline!
10:51She passed me a note saying to add that line to the script when I met up with her earlier
10:55today!
10:56Huh?
10:57But that can only mean...
10:59My mother knew about my predicament!
11:01Does that mean she actually knows about thy elegance cheat?
11:04She must!
11:06I mean, I already thought it was strange that this script was written over thirty years ago!
11:12As a matter of fact, it is time for me to now relinquish the throne to him!
11:16I believe that is a most wise decision, my Queen!
11:20Prince Vergil is perfect to play the elegant and dignified Queen, as is Pierre for the seasoned maid!
11:26Pretending that you're the Crown Prince? What a vivid imagination you have, kid!
11:30Even Auguste for the valiant dame!
11:33Please forgive me, my dear son!
11:35If it weren't for my bad lungs, we would never have belonged in the slums!
11:40Every role in this play was perfectly written to match the current members of the council!
11:45I know without a doubt my son would be better suited as the next king!
11:49There's no way it's just a coincidence!
11:51Which means...
11:52On your knees!
11:54Jacqueline must have some kind of super power or magic spell that gives her foresight!
11:59Lady Grace!
12:00It's your turn to speak!
12:02Despite the scant evidence, you still propose that we put this man to death?
12:07I refuse to accept anything less than concrete proof!
12:09Oh my! How very merciful!
12:12Crap! I need to keep my head in the game!
12:15That's a mystery for later!
12:16I am the big bad villainess!
12:19And Anna is the main character!
12:21No, wait!
12:21Those aren't the roles I should focus on now!
12:24When I eventually ascend the royal throne, I swear to you that I shall remake this kingdom!
12:29To the benefit of all my subjects!
12:34After seeing these youngsters pour their hearts and souls into this play, I want to come through splendidly for them
12:41as well!
12:42Grace is doing fantastic!
12:44She really is our pride and joy!
12:46Wouldn't you agree, Jacqueline?
12:48I certainly do, Leopold!
12:50She's done such an amazing job with this production!
12:53It's beyond my expectations!
12:55The day of the coronation ceremony arrives!
12:58I have been trying to tell you all along I am the real prince!
13:02And I am just a peasant!
13:04You cannot expect me to believe that!
13:06Unless you have some kind of proof-
13:09Pardon, but that young man over there is my son.
13:12Toby, please stop all this nonsense and return back home!
13:16Mother, it's me!
13:18Your Highness, I beg forgiveness for my insolence, but that boy is my one and only child.
13:24Please let me have a son-sational-
13:26Oh no! He's going to make a pun here?
13:29Let me have... have... have... uh...
13:34Let me have my only son back!
13:37He resisted the urge!
13:38Nicely done, Lord Richard! Congrats!
13:43Mother!
13:46I recognize the tender loving care in these hands.
13:50Could it be? Are you actually the real Toby?
14:00Ah!
14:02Ah, Phooey, there goes all my fun!
14:05It's the fairy again!
14:07If someone discovers the truth through the power of love...
14:10Then it totally cancels out fairy magic!
14:13So I guess I lose our little game!
14:15Womp womp! Smell your lady!
14:17Hey! Get back here!
14:19What in heaven's name?
14:20My Toby!
14:21My mommy!
14:39I shall take what I have learned from this bizarre experience, and use it wisely to become the greatest ruler
14:44this kingdom has ever known!
14:51Congratulations!
14:52I can't believe it worked!
14:53Awesome! Glad that's over with!
14:56Ugh!
14:57Gosh, I'm just so happy that I had the chance to be part of this amazing play with all of
15:02you!
15:03Thank you, Fronsex!
15:04We never would have made it this far without your assistance in guiding all of this!
15:09Absolutely! Thank you so much for everything!
15:11Fron isn't the only one who made a difference!
15:14Everyone, including you, the council, and the theatre club, all have my eternal gratitude!
15:19Huh?
15:20Wh-what are you saying, Lady Grace?!
15:24The whole reason that our play turned out so fabulous is because of you and your hard work!
15:30Yes, that's true!
15:32Lady Anna and Lady Fron helped a lot!
15:34As well as all the others!
15:36But it's only because we had Miss Grace for our linchpin holding us up!
15:39You betcha!
15:41Lady Grace, we feel the same way as they do!
15:43Everyone in the theatre club was proud to be a part of this!
15:46You're an inspiration to all of us!
15:48Um, well that's wonderful to hear and all!
15:51But I really didn't do anything special to warrant this praise!
15:55I'm afraid... I...
15:56Fair enough!
16:01I appreciate you all!
16:02I already know that this day will live in my memory forever!
16:14This is one time where I should graciously accept their kind words!
16:28Father!
16:29Father!
16:31What a fantastic play, Grace!
16:33You never disappoint!
16:35Thank you!
16:36Is Mother with you?
16:38Well, about that...
16:39She mentioned having a very important errand she had to run...
16:43And regrettably has already departed for it!
16:47However...
16:48She did leave this letter for you!
16:49Oh!
16:50Really?
16:53This is her handwriting!
16:55I recognize it from the screenplay!
16:57My darling Grace...
16:59I apologize for not being able to see you in person...
17:03But I thought your play was simply fantastic!
17:06I couldn't be more proud of you!
17:08And I'm overjoyed to know that you've surrounded yourself with so many wonderful people!
17:14No matter what challenges you may face in the future!
17:17I believe you can find an honest way to overcome them!
17:20By working together with your friends!
17:23Please keep that in mind!
17:25It will be some time before I see you again!
17:29But know that I am always thinking of you!
17:32From... your mother!
17:36Mother...
17:48Why the big sigh?
17:50You could have taken a little time to see her instead of just leaving to mope like this, Jacqueline!
17:55Easy for you to say!
17:57I would have loved nothing more than to see my Grace!
18:00She has grown up so much in the time I've been away from her!
18:03I wanted so badly to smother her with hugs and kisses while caressing that pretty hair!
18:08But it's just not the right time for me to do that yet!
18:11You know that already, don't you?
18:14Yeah, you're right!
18:16Given how smoothly things have gone so far, it wouldn't suck to see it all fall apart now!
18:21If someone discovers the truth through the power of love, then it cancels out fairy magic!
18:27Ugh...
18:28Who even wrote that stupid line?!
18:30Uh, it was you, Jacqueline!
18:33Yeah, yeah...
18:37Mother...
18:38Shoot!
18:39It ends without us getting a chance to meet Grace's mother!
18:43Leaving more questions than answers...
18:45So what happens next?
18:47If it follows the game, there'll be an after-party!
18:50That triggers a special event where you watch fireworks with the love interest you've made the most progress with!
18:56The fireworks are magic, by the way!
18:58A very familiar trope!
18:59But at this point in the game, the character who Ana wants to be with the most is obviously...
19:05Lady Grace!
19:06Pardon me!
19:08Have you girls seen Lady Grace around?
19:10I haven't!
19:11My apologies!
19:16Forgive me, Ana!
19:17I'm not hiding out of spite or anything!
19:20But I can tell this after-party will be a crucial turning point for her love life depending on who
19:25she spends it with!
19:27So she should forget about Grace, and watch the fireworks with one of the men from the student council instead!
19:33He's the sharpest attack!
19:34Even though he's never played the game, he's totally figured out the key to beating it!
19:38Alright, now to find a quiet spot where no students are around, so that I can watch how this all
19:44unfolds!
19:52You're saying you can't find Grace anywhere?
19:54Yeah!
19:55You know how Lady Grace is. I bet she got distracted by someone asking for her help again.
20:00I guess. It's just, with this whole festival, she's been over-stretching herself with all the work that was needed.
20:06I was hoping that she could at least sit back and enjoy the fireworks at the party.
20:11You've got a point.
20:12Okay, let's split up and find her.
20:14We have 30 minutes left until the fireworks show starts.
20:18That will be our time limit to find her. Meet back in the office by then!
20:22Right!
20:22We've got a couple minutes left.
20:23Go get away!
20:40Where are you at?
20:40Go get away!
20:44Who's going to be here?
20:46Go get away!
20:49Let's go!
20:49You have a place for your boss!
20:50By dear, you will not be able to wait!
20:51I need you!
21:26The show has started.
21:28It's too bad. We couldn't find her.
21:32Where could you be?
21:35Hold on. Look there.
21:39Those fireworks are a mix of two colors, red and blue.
21:43The color of our school's fireworks depends solely on the attribute of the spellcaster,
21:48which means the only way those fireworks could have two colors is...
22:00I'm so pleased you were able to assist us and put your unique blend of two attributes to good use,
22:05Chris.
22:06It is my absolute pleasure, Mr. Principal.
22:08I have no idea who Ana is watching the fireworks with right now,
22:12but I'm sure that sharing the memory of this special show will boost their intimacy with one another.
22:22Fireworks like these certainly go beyond the standard flair.
22:25What a badass.
22:27A genuine altruist.
22:29So pretty!
22:30The shining example of nobility.
22:33An indisputable asset to the kingdom.
22:36Lee Grace is a genius.
22:45Oh, lovely.
22:47Their intimacy levels are off the charts.
22:50But I guess it's fine.
22:53The Otome Game.
22:55Magical Academy Love and Beast.
22:57I still can't make any sense of why a boring old nobody like me would get reincarnated into this world.
23:04But I believe the duty that I've been given is simple,
23:07and that is to support all the youngsters who call this place home.
23:11At least, that's my take on it for now.
23:15My new life as a big bad villain has only just begun.
23:21And then...
