Barbara The Barbarian (Barbara the Barbarian)

What's wrong?

Your eyes.

It's the same color as your eyes.

The way I felt when I saw this...

This feeling...

What is it called?

"Major Gilbert.

I've been in the hospital for 120 days now.

My strength has almost recovered.

Movement is still a little difficult,

but I can perform my duties.

Please let me return to my post soon."

KINGDOM OF ENCIEL SOMEWHERE IN THE CAPITAL OF ENCHAINE

Her existence was hidden from everyone.

However, people who knew about her said that she was a weapon.

She would fight if you ordered her to.

She just looked like a human.

She was just a tool...

without a heart.

Lt. Colonel Hodgins.

Come this way.

Huh? Oh.

Sorry.

Oh, my.

Violet!

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Where is the major?

Where's Major Gilbert?

He's not here.

Where is he?

Did he return home?

How are his injuries?

His injuries were severe.

Is the major...

alive?

He's...

They've given us permission to discharge you from the hospital.

Lt. Colonel Hodgins came all this way to pick you up.

Uh, that's right.

Excuse me, Lt. Colonel Hodgins.

Violet. Relax.

I'd forgotten you were a Lt. Colonel.

I apologize.

It's okay.

Sit down.

Anyways. So, you do remember me?

We've met twice. Once during training and the night before the battle.

Yeah. You're right.

What were you doing?

I was writing a report to Major Gilbert.

They said that writing words would be good for my recovery.

Is the major well?

Don't worry, Violet.

He asked me to come here.

So, that means he's fine.

The doctor told me that we won the war.

What post is he assigned to now?

When shall I join him?

Get changed first. I'll have them send the car in the meantime.

These finally arrived. They're your belongings.

Looks like they mistakenly delivered it to an army base far away.

The brooch.

The emerald brooch.

This is everything from the garrison and the place where they found you.

I have to go look for it if it's not here.

Violet!

It was a gift.

The major gave it to me!

I understand.

I'll look for it.

I promise.

- But... - You must...

come with me.

These are his orders.

Orders?

I understand.

When will I receive the next order from the major?

I'm limited to only performing certain duties because of my current condition.

Violet. Congratulations on getting discharged.

I didn't know what you'd like, so, I bought three. What do you think?

I don't need them.

No. You have to choose one.

Pretend that the world is about to end. Okay. Three, two...

Then... the puppy.

Here.

Why did you choose the puppy?

The major's brother once told me,

"You're Gilbert's dog."

It's going to be a long journey.

The train tracks around here were damaged during the bombing

and aren't usable anymore.

Have you ever been to Leiden before?

No.

Violet.

Live...

and be free.

From the bottom of my heart.

There you are.

Lt. Colonel.

There it is. The port of Leiden.

LEIDEN, THE CAPITAL OF LEIDENSCHAFTLICH

Gilbert was thinking about your future after the war.

He said he wanted to leave you with the Evergarden household,

his most trusted relatives.

I contacted them,

and the couple said they'd be happy to take you in.

Welcome.

Let's go, Violet.

This is the lady of the Evergarden household.

Say your greetings.

A bow would suffice.

Doesn't it take around three days from Enchaine now?

Yes. Normally, I'd be able to return in one day.

But the war has been going on for four years.

It's going to take some more time to restore everything.

Violet.

Have some tea.

Oh! Sorry. Don't force yourself.

Oh, no! You'll get burned.

It's not a problem. I can't feel heat.

But your bandages... Quick, we have to cool them down.

- Oliver, bring some ice! - Yes, madam.

These arms are made of adamant silver.

They're a bit bulky, but they're sturdy.

I'm not accustomed to them yet. I should be able to adjust soon.

Can you come this way for a minute?

I used these when I was young.

Very nice. Try them on.

Yeah. They look good on you.

Really!

Well, I'm going to get going now.

I have to get back to the office.

Oh.

Violet.

Listen to Tiffany, okay?

It's okay.

Don't worry about me.

Think of me as your real mother.

Tell me anything. Okay?

I...

don't have parents, so, I don't need any replacements.

Don't say that.

I had a son,

but he was killed in the war.

I can't become a replacement for your lost child.

Violet. Gilbert's wish is for you to happily live here.

So, do you understand?

The major.

The major. Why is he leaving me here?

Is it because I lost my arms, and lost my value as a weapon?

If I just trained a little, I could still fight!

Violet. The war is over.

I'm the major's tool.

But if he doesn't need me anymore,

then I should be thrown away.

Throw me away.

Throw me away somewhere.

Lt. Colonel Hodgins.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

I left the army. I'm not a Lt. Colonel anymore

Then what should I call you?

Call me "President."
