Leviathan (リヴァイアサン)

Is everyone all right?

-Sharp? -

Compared to when the Leviathan crashed, this is nothing.

I’m fine too.

Yes, I’m all right.

Good.

It's coming back!

What do we do?!

Klopp, any explosive shells?

No, unfortunately.

They may be covered in snow.

I can’t see a thing from here.

I’ll give instructions.

You mustn't. It's too dangerous!

Angle 15 degrees up, 10 degrees left!

Fire on my signal!

No, wait, Alek!

The wind is strong.

It's five degrees left!

Fire now!

Heck yeah!

- -

-Okay. -Roger.

-Okay, take this too. -It's heavy. Take that one.

[subdued classical music playing]

Young Master.

How is it? Will it move?

The engine is somehow holding up,

but the damage to each part is quite severe.

I doubt it can run much longer.

I see.

Are you proud of shooting down the German forces?

It was my fault.

Be silent.

Answer me. Are you proud of yourself?

There was no other way.

The fact is, we’re alive.

And I saved your life too, Volger.

Bravo.

I witnessed your brilliant tactics,

standing right in front of the enemy’s guns.

- - Listen.

You ignored your own safety without considering your post.

And this is the result!

The German forces will be back soon.

And yet we have lost our means of escape.

Your Highness, it’s up to you to decide.

Do we barricade ourselves in that castle and fight to the death,

or do we beg for their mercy?

It seems that dreadful airbeast is trying

to ascend like a hot air balloon, despite its lack of preparation.

They’re eager to learn your identity,

and though Austria and Britain have yet to declare war,

once they know who you are, they'll likely capture you.

However, if that happens, you would at least survive.

There’s no need to decide now.

We still have one day until the German forces return.

That is all the advice I can offer.

Could you give me a hand?

What's this for?

We need to shed as much weight as we can.

Is that because the hydrogen hasn’t accumulated yet?

Aye. And the engine's broken too.

What? The Leviathan had an engine onboard?

Huh?

Aye, just a wee one for adjusting its course.

Huh...

The walker has two engines, both in good working order.

If we mount them on the Leviathan,

it might be able to fly at high speed even without sufficient hydrogen.

But it takes ages to get that set up.

Besides, I doubt the Leviathan would be satisfied with a Clanker’s engine.

Fortunately, Klopp is the most skilled mechanic in all of Austria.

And anyway, handling the Beastie's mood is your forte, right?

Indeed. It's possible.

In return, we want you to refrain from looking into our true identities

and release us somewhere before we arrive in Britain.

Hmm.

The Leviathan is heading for the Ottoman Empire.

It’s a neutral nation, isn’t it?

Currently, yes.

In that case, let us go when we reach the Ottoman Empire.

You’ll be able to continue your journey with the walker's engines after that.

I shall explain to the captain.

[subdued classical music playing]

Wow!

Amazing.

See? A hundred times faster than that crappy Clanker tool!

Huh?!

All right, let's remove those engines.

Right here.

What kind of eggs are these?

Who knows? She won’t tell me.

But whatever they are, they're super important to the doctor.

I’m clueless about Clanker-made stuff. You've got this, right?

Uh, right.

I really can’t wrap my head around how Darwinists think.

-That thing earlier-- -The barnacle?

Yes. Press the button.

Got it.

Using the natural behavior of living creatures to melt iron?

-That's remarkable technology. -

You're really not the noble-type.

Huh?

Well, nobles always seem so full of themselves. It gets on my nerves.

-But you've had a rough time too. -Huh?

I mean, wasn’t the whole thing set off

by your archduke and his wife getting assassinated?

I don’t know the full story, but they were on a leisure trip, right?

I mean, give me a break.

It's not the nobles who die in wars.

It's us soldiers and ordinary people.

We’re the ones living in reality, you know.

- -

-Then what am I? -Hm?

If I’m not living in reality,

then what am I?

Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.

-But, you know-- -I’m going.

Wait! Hold on, Alek!

What’s up with him?

No way!

We're being shelled?!

- What happened? - What is it?

- -

It's near the castle.

What the hell is that monster?!

It has eight legs!

The enemy is an eight-legged walker! Notify the captain!

Got it.

Why isn’t it rising?!

Maybe the engine is heavier than you claimed?

Impossible! I told you the exact weight down to the gram!

The captain wouldn't have made a calculation error either.

-What’s this? -A ballast alert!

Dump as much as you can!

I'll go too.

Why isn’t it rising?

There's nothing left to throw out!

Damn it, the Clanker's engines are too heavy!

Hey, are the engines running?
