So Ra No Wo To

What's wrong?

Oh? So you're off to Mistral?

Hard stuff there.

But the food is good, and they say the women are lookers.

About half a year since the truce?

And with that. Happy I'm still alive.

See? Grim Bourlouge.

Oh please.

Can't beat that.

Oh come on.

Oh, dammit again.

Hey miss. Awake there?

Your share of the booty.

Caramel?

Such a fancy thing. It's too kind of you...

Sergeant!

Don't mention it. Being nice to the bugler means

you hear the retreat calls clearer, so they say.

With the draft gone and all,

it's rare to see new recruits.

You volunteer for this?

Yes!

I wanted to learn the trumpet-

What?

I mean...

Good! An honest one!

Good luck there, miss!

What's your name, private?

Kanata.

Kanata Sorami.

so ra no wo to

The brilliant glow of this sky, does it carry right into your heart?

The melody you heard in your dream, it plays like the silence

Even if your hands are still far from that dream,

Come now and remember that kindly voice

Someone was there singing for you, the happiness they sang about

Sound of the sky, echo on high, break through that overwhelming sadness

Everything that shines in your eyes

Is part of the real world

Even your tears can't leave you here to stay forever

In this light pouring down onto you, play tomorrow's song

Echoing Sound - Town at Daybreak

There's a festival in Seize today.

A festival?

So I'm leaving you here.

Look.

That's your assignment. They call it the "Time-Telling Fortress".

Set a course and walk.

Yes!

Appointment:

Private Kanata Sorami.

Seize, Trois region.

You are assigned to Platoon 1121.

General Headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Helvetia.

1320.

Mission complete.

Thank you, sir!

The town of lakes and glass,

Seize.

Wait, wait!

Assignment time is 1500.

I finally get to let you sing.

Bearing: confirmed.

Assignment time: confirmed.

Equipment: confirmed.

Forward march!

G-flat.

A beautiful sound.

Fish.

￥ 10.25.

What a pretty doll-

I'm sorry!

What is it, Rio?

A kitten, drunk in the merriment

was running full-speed into places it shouldn't be.

Well, you can't help that.

Kittens thrive on what they find in the streets.

Isn't that why they're cute?

Maybe for stray cats.

Unfortunately, it was a pet cat.

That was scary.

But I found another wonderful thing.

What is it?

Thank you!

Oh, a soldier!

One of the girls in the fortress?

Now here's something to celebrate!

For the fire!

Thank you!

Alright!

You sure did it!

Aim.

Fire!

Thank you.

Thank you!

Hey!

Are you an idiot? Getting completely caught up in the festivities.

Where are you going looking like that!

Gesundheit.

Thank y-

Come with me.

How's the water?

I'm happy!

That's good to hear.

It does look like you did quite a job.

You couldn't at least dodge it?

This dye goes away when it dries.

No need to worry.

That was the festival, wasn't it?

There's a legend here in Seize.

A legend? What kind?

The Maidens of Fire

protect the town.

Sorry for all the trouble.

I'll add it on. I finished repairing that thing.

And...

this, too.

Felicia?

That meddling...

Late.

Late, late, late!

We even came all the way out here for her!

Yes.

Let's stand at ease.

It was a present from your father, right?

It's a good one.

D-flat.

Thank you for letting me use your bath.

I tend to get lost on the road...

but I'm thankful that I was able to meet such a wonderful person!

You're welcome. But don't get lost up here.

You... know the sound?

It's a clear... somewhat familiar sound.

I don't mean like th-

Thief!
