**[00:00] Miku**
Yup, yup.
**[00:02] Hikari**
*I'm looking forward to this weekend.*
**[00:05] Hikari**
*I'm excited to see everyone's new skills.*
**[00:08] Miku**
Yeah, just don't push yourself.
**[00:10] Miku**
I even think it'd be okay to take a break.
**[00:13] Hikari**
*You don't have to worry. I'm just fine.*
**[00:17] Miku**
Really?
**[00:18] Hikari**
* Yes. Besides, taking a break*
* would feel like a waste of time.*
**[00:22] Miku**
Okay.
**[00:23] Hikari**
*See you this weekend, Miku-chan.*
**[00:26] Miku**
*Yeah. Catch you later.*
**[02:07] Sign**
Joyful Days
**[02:07] Kaito**
Okay, Bellia. Will you
show me what you can do?
**[02:12] Bellia**
I'd be happy to, but...
**[02:14] Kaito**
What's the matter?
**[02:15] Bellia**
Pardon, but could you give me a weapon?
**[02:19] Bellia**
I am a knight, after all.
**[02:21] Kaito**
Huh? Didn't you have a sword?
**[02:23] Luceria**
You broke it, remember?
**[02:25] Kaito**
Oh...
**[02:28] Kaito**
That's right.
**[02:31] Miku**
What are you going to do?
**[02:33] Kaito**
Let's see. You can have this tungsten rod.
**[02:36] Sylphy**
A hand-me-down from our master!
**[02:40] Kaito**
Go on. Don't be shy.
**[02:42] Bellia**
Actually, um...
**[02:44] Bellia**
Might you have anything more sword-like?
**[02:47] Luceria**
Looking a gift horse in the mouth, are we?
**[02:49] Sylphy**
She's right. You're being rude to our master.
**[02:52] Bellia**
M-My apologies.
**[02:55] Kaito**
Sorry. This is all I have right now.
**[03:01] Bellia**
Very well.
**[03:24] Kaito**
He's way stronger than me.
**[03:30] Bellia**
How was that?
**[03:32] Kaito**
It was amazing.
**[03:33] Airi**
Impressive.
**[03:35] Bellia**
I hope I've proven my usefulness.
**[03:38] Luceria**
Except you seem slower than you were before.
**[03:41] Bellia**
Th-That's because my body has
changed to reflect my new level.
**[03:47] Luceria**
Oh, right. You're level 1 now.
**[03:50] Bellia**
Please...
**[03:52] Bellia**
Please allow me to stay by your side, my lord!
**[03:55] Bellia**
I'd like to be useful
to Lady Luceria and Lady Sylphy!
**[04:00] All**
"Lady"?!
**[04:01] Luceria**
He called us ladies.
**[04:03] Sylphy**
I don't mind that at all.
**[04:06] Bellia**
I may currently be a hindrance, but
I'll do my best to become the group's sword.
**[04:13] Miku**
But you don't *have* a sword.
**[04:14] Hikari**
Hush!
**[04:16] Kaito**
Well...
**[04:18] Kaito**
You may be slower now,
but you're still plenty strong.
**[04:21] Bellia**
Really, my lord?
**[04:24] Kaito**
Yeah. Let's do great things together.
**[04:26] Bellia**
Indeed! Thank you, my lord.
**[04:30] Kaito**
Also, Bellia, I'd like to test your skill.
**[04:34] Bellia**
Yes, my lord!
**[04:35] Kaito**
To do that, I'll have to lose some HP first.
**[04:40] Kaito**
Bellia, can you cast Dark Cure on me?
**[04:44] Bellia**
Here it comes.
**[04:46] Bellia**
Dark Cure.
**[04:51] Kaito**
I don't feel anything.
**[04:53] Kaito**
Have I been healed?
**[04:55] Bellia**
Dark Cure primarily mends wounds.
**[05:00] Bellia**
It only restores enough HP
to keep you from dying.
**[05:03] Kaito**
So just a smidge, huh?
**[05:05] Kaito**
If Dark Cure could counter the HP drain
from Luce's Beauty of Gluttony,
**[05:10] Kaito**
I thought we could achieve an infinite loop.
**[05:13] Luceria**
Wanna give it a go?
**[05:15] Kaito**
What?
**[05:18] Kaito**
No way! I'm at less than half HP!
**[05:21] Luceria**
You'll be fine. Just fine.
You won't die right away.
**[05:25] Luceria**
Let's give it a little try.
**[05:27] Kaito**
I will *not* be fine in the least!
**[05:29] Kaito**
Stay away from me!
**[05:32] Kaito**
Ow...
**[05:33] Bellia**
My lord, let me try it on an injury this time.
**[05:37] Kaito**
Oh, sure.
**[05:38] Bellia**
Now then...
**[05:39] Bellia**
Dark Cure.
**[05:43] Kaito**
The pain is... receding?
**[05:46] Bellia**
What do you think, my lord?
**[05:49] Kaito**
Amazing! That's super handy.
**[05:51] Kaito**
It'll help us conserve potions, too.
**[05:53] Bellia**
I am honored to receive such praise.
**[05:56] Luceria**
Not bad, kid.
**[05:57] Bellia**
Lady Luceria...
**[06:00] Airi**
Now, let us try out our new skills next.
**[06:05] Airi**
Hikarin and I will go first.
**[06:07] Hikari**
Got it.
**[06:11] Hikari**
Ice Circle!
**[06:17] Airi**
Zantetsugeki!
**[06:32] Kaito**
That was amazing, both of you.
**[06:33] Kaito**
Hikarin's spell stopped
the enemy in its tracks,
**[06:37] Kaito**
and Airi-san's skill seems like
it could cut through almost anything.
**[06:41] Hikari**
It was incredible.
**[06:42] Airi**
It's incredibly powerful.
**[06:44] Airi**
But it also consumes a lot of MP,
so I can't use it carelessly.
**[06:48] Kaito**
A one-shot skill, then.
**[06:54] Miku**
Snatch and I will go next.
**[06:58] Miku**
Dance of Visions!
**[07:04] Hikari**
They look like they're dancing.
**[07:07] Airi**
I see. So it's an illusion skill.
**[07:09] Miku**
Snatch, Hedgehog!
**[07:26] Kaito**
Wow. Their combo attack has gotten stronger.
**[07:31] Miku**
Nice work, Snatch.
**[07:36] Kaito**
Syl, let's check out your new skill next.
**[07:40] Sylphy**
Master, I sense monsters up ahead!
**[07:47] Kaito**
Finally, Syl, can you
activate Song of the Valkyrie?
**[07:50] Sylphy**
Very well.
**[07:51] Kaito**
Luce and Bellia, join the fight.
**[07:54] Kaito**
I want to see if this works on servants, too.
**[07:57] Luceria**
Got it.
**[07:57] Bellia**
Understood, my lord.
**[08:00] Sylphy**
Okay, here I go.
**[08:04] Sylphy**
With trembling form, I offer this song.
**[08:10] Sylphy**
With echoing heartbeat, I play my song.
**[08:16] Sylphy**
My prayer of truth seeps into the land.
**[08:31] Sylphy**
I become the light.
**[08:37] Sylphy**
Having endured the long darkness,
the heroes await the signal.
**[08:40] Kaito**
What is this? I feel power
welling up inside me.
**[08:43] Sylphy**
Awaken the voices of the heroes
hiding quietly in the depths.
**[08:45] Kaito/Id**
* Amazing. I can see the goblin's*
* movements so clearly.*
**[08:57] Luceria**
Hellfire of Destruction!
**[09:03] Kaito**
That was impressive. Nice work.
**[09:05] Luceria**
I'm obviously more powerful!
**[09:07] Luceria**
Not as strong as with Beauty of Gluttony,
but stronger for sure.
**[09:11] Kaito**
Then it does work on servants too.
**[09:13] Kaito**
How'd it feel for you, Bellia?
**[09:15] Bellia**
Honestly, I couldn't really tell.
**[09:19] Bellia**
I could hear Lady Sylphy's
beautiful voice, though.
**[09:24] Miku**
Maybe the effectiveness of the skill
depends on your relationship.
**[09:28] Miku**
You see that a lot in games.
**[09:30] Bellia**
I see...
**[09:32] Airi**
We can start building relationships now.
**[09:35] Miku**
That's right.
**[09:36] Hikari**
Let's all get along.
**[09:39] Luceria**
Eh, I'm sure you can do it.
**[09:41] Bellia**
Thank you, everyone.
**[09:44] Bellia**
I used to be a rear guard,
but I made my way up to knight.
**[09:50] Bellia**
I'll hone my sword skills, too.
**[09:52] Bellia**
With a blade, I could do even more.
**[09:56] Bellia**
I shall work my hardest!
**[09:57] Kaito**
A sword, huh? Hold on.
**[10:08] Kaito**
I bought one.
**[10:09] Kaito**
Bellia, do you think you'd
do better with this?
**[10:12] Bellia**
This is...
**[10:14] Miku**
That's a bastard sword.
**[10:15] Sylphy**
A gift straight from our master personally!
**[10:19] Airi**
He's not responding.
**[10:20] Miku**
Maybe he doesn't like it.
**[10:22] Kaito**
What? But this was pretty expensive...
**[10:25] Hikari**
Is he crying?
**[10:27] Kaito**
Do you hate it that much?
**[10:29] Luceria**
He went out of his way to buy that for you.
**[10:31] Sylphy**
She's right. You're being rude.
**[10:33] Bellia**
No, it's not that.
**[10:35] Bellia**
I was just overwhelmed
to receive a real blade.
**[10:41] Bellia**
My lord, I will do my very best
until this sword breaks.
**[10:45] Luceria**
Hey, don't go breaking it.
**[10:47] Bellia**
Now then...
**[10:49] Bellia**
Allow me to demonstrate
with the blade you've gifted me.
**[10:54] Bellia**
And so... here I come!
**[11:12] Kaito**
He's unbelievable.
**[11:18] Bellia**
There's no denying
a sword just feels different.
**[11:22] Kaito**
You must've trained really hard.
**[11:24] Bellia**
What?
**[11:25] Kaito**
It's just what I thought after seeing
how you handled yourself just now.
**[11:29] Bellia**
My lord...
**[11:31] Kaito**
Say, do you think you could
teach me to use a sword?
**[11:35] Bellia**
Of course. We can begin
right away if you wish.
**[11:39] Kaito**
What? Right now?
**[11:40] Bellia**
Yes!
**[11:41] Kaito**
Well, uh... I'd love to,
but I need to get home early today.
**[11:48] Luceria**
Why?
**[11:49] Sylphy**
Why is that?
**[11:50] Airi**
We're studying at my house tomorrow.
**[11:53] Hikari**
We can't wait!
**[11:57] Miku**
Oh? They're looking like hamsters again.
**[12:00] Kaito**
Sorry, sorry.
**[12:04] Kaito**
Sorry. I promise I'll come back on Sunday.
**[12:07] Bellia**
That's a promise, my lord.
**[12:10] Kaito**
Yeah, of course.
**[12:18] Shinji**
Hey, is this really the right place?
**[12:20] Hayato**
I'm... pretty sure.
**[12:28] Miku**
Good morning!
**[12:29] Hikari**
Good morning to you.
**[12:32] Shinji**
Miku-chan, Hikarin-chan! Good morning.
**[12:35] Shinji**
Those are some fancy cars.
**[12:42] Kaito**
What?
**[12:44] Shinji**
Where is...
**[12:46] Hayato**
...the house?
**[12:49] Miku**
Well, see you there.
**[12:50] Kaito**
When did that show up?
**[12:52] Haruka**
I have no idea what's going on either.
**[12:54] Kaito**
Can we get a ride, too?
**[12:56] Hikari**
The men's path is over there.
**[12:59] Kaito**
What?
**[12:59] Sign**
Otokozaka
**[12:59] Sign**
Otokozaka
**[12:59] Kaito**
"Otokozaka"?
**[13:02] Hayato**
You mean...
**[13:04] All**
We have to walk?!
**[13:12] Miku**
Good morning, Airi-san.
**[13:14] Hikari**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[13:16] Airi**
Actually, you're right on time.
Thanks for coming.
**[13:20] Haruka**
Thank you for having me
over today, Airi-san.
**[13:23] Airi**
Yeah. Glad to have you.
**[13:25] Haruka**
Anyway...
**[13:28] Haruka**
What a lovely home. It's so tasteful.
**[13:32] Airi**
Thank you. My family has run
a martial arts dojo for years.
**[13:37] Haruka**
I see.
**[13:38] Airi**
The grounds are equipped
with everything you need
**[13:41] Airi**
to achieve balance between
your mind, skills, and body.
**[13:45] Airi**
For example...
**[13:46] Airi**
We have a waterfall to calm your mind,
**[13:50] Airi**
a dojo to hone your skills,
**[13:53] Airi**
and a yard built to strengthen your body.
**[13:57] Airi**
The Otokozaka in particular
is perfect for building stamina.
**[14:00] Airi**
I use it every day.
**[14:05] Airi**
Well, looks like they've made it.
**[14:08] Airi**
Let's get to studying.
**[14:11] All**
No way! We can't study right now!
**[14:15] Sign**
Perfect Composure
**[14:16] Hayato**
Huh? Isn't this a dojo?
**[14:20] Airi**
That's right.
**[14:20] Shinji**
What? Then what gives?
**[14:22] Airi**
What's the matter?
**[14:23] Shinji**
Well, uh... I assumed we'd be
studying in your room, Airi-san.
**[14:27] Airi**
I thought my room would be
a bit cramped for this many people.
**[14:31] Shinji**
No way. I'm sure it's massive.
**[14:33] Airi**
Besides, we can practice our naginata swings
here when we can no longer focus.
**[14:37] Hayato**
You're the only one who'd do that.
**[14:40] Airi**
If that doesn't free your mind
from distraction,
**[14:42] Airi**
we'll go to the waterfall.
**[14:43] Kaito**
Yeah, that's not happening.
**[14:45] Airi**
Is something wrong?
**[14:46] Both**
Nope, nothing at all!
**[14:50] Hikari**
I'd like to sit next to Katsuragi-san.
**[14:54] Haruka**
Go right ahead.
**[14:55] Miku**
Then I'll sit here.
**[14:59] Hayato**
I'll sit over there!
**[15:00] Shinji**
Don't mind if I sit next to Miku-chan!
**[15:02] Kaito**
Then I'll...
**[15:05] Airi**
Kaito, there's a seat open right here.
**[15:08] Kaito**
Oh, thanks.
**[15:17] Airi**
Now, what do you want to learn first?
**[15:20] Kaito**
Math. About these coordinates...
**[15:24] Airi**
This is easier to understand
if you graph the equation first.
**[15:29] Hikari**
Katsuragi-san. Katsuragi-san?
**[15:32] Hikari**
Could you show me how to do this?
**[15:35] Haruka**
Yeah, sure.
**[15:37] Hikari**
Hooray! Thank you.
**[15:39] Shinji**
Hikarin-chan, if there's anything
you don't know, I'll teach you.
**[15:43] Hayato**
Shinji, you're putting Hikarin on the spot.
**[15:46] Hayato**
By the way, I'm good at every subject,
so you can ask me anything!
**[15:50] Kaito**
Cut it out, you two.
**[15:52] Kaito**
It's not like either of you have much to offer.
**[15:54] Hikari**
Thank you, but I'm going to
have Katsuragi-san show me.
**[16:00] Kaito**
I can guarantee you'll be fine
with Katsuragi-san.
**[16:02] Kaito**
She's always been caring,
and she's nice to boot.
**[16:05] Shinji**
Plus, she's cute.
**[16:07] Kaito**
What?
**[16:07] Hayato**
"I know Katsuragi-san better
than anyone," huh?
**[16:14] Kaito**
I-I didn't say that!
**[16:16] Kaito**
Katsuragi-san's just my childhood friend.
**[16:18] Kaito**
Nothing more, nothing less.
**[16:21] Sign**
Perfect Composure
**[16:24] Airi**
Say...
**[16:25] Airi**
Why don't we go to the waterfall?
**[16:27] Kaito**
What? But we just started.
**[16:29] Miku**
Let's go.
**[16:30] Hikari**
I'd like to go.
**[16:33] Airi**
What about you, Haruka?
**[16:35] Haruka**
I'd like to go.
**[16:37] Kaito**
Katsuragi-san?!
**[16:38] Airi**
I see. In that case...
**[16:42] Shinji**
Hey, wait! I'm coming too!
**[16:44] Hayato**
Me, too!
**[16:45] Kaito**
What? I guess I'll go, too, then.
**[16:50] Kaito**
It's so cold...
**[16:53] Hayato**
It's freezing!
**[16:54] Shinji**
Um, are we really doing this?
**[16:57] Airi**
Let's begin.
**[17:01] Miku**
It's cold!
**[17:05] Airi**
Clear your mind!
**[17:07] All**
Clear your mind!
**[17:09] Kaito**
Seriously?
**[17:11] Airi**
Okay, that's enough!
**[17:15] Airi**
How was it?
**[17:16] Haruka**
My mind feels a bit clearer.
**[17:18] Airi**
I see.
**[17:19] Kaito**
Katsuragi-san, are you okay?
**[17:21] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[17:26] Haruka**
What is it?
**[17:28] Kaito**
So cute...
**[17:29] Haruka**
What?
**[17:31] Kaito**
Uh, nothing.
**[17:33] Haruka**
I see. Well, good luck, boys.
**[17:37] Kaito**
What?
**[17:38] Sign**
Otokodaki
**[17:38] Sign**
Otokodaki
**[17:47] All**
Uncle, uncle, uncle!
**[17:51] Shinji**
So cold...
**[17:53] Hayato**
Standing under the waterfall made me
forget everything I studied today!
**[17:57] Kaito**
Same.
**[17:58] Airi**
Thank you for coming today.
**[18:01] Miku**
I had a ton of fun!
**[18:02] All**
Huh?
**[18:03] Hikari**
I hope we can study together again.
**[18:06] Airi**
Yeah, you should come back sometime.
**[18:08] Haruka**
Sure! I'd love to.
**[18:12] Shinji**
They seem closer than they were this morning.
**[18:16] Hayato**
You're right.
**[18:17] Kaito**
I don't know why, but I'm glad.
**[18:22] Luceria**
So you ignored your studies to stand
under a waterfall and had fun doing it?
**[18:27] Kaito**
No, uh...
**[18:28] Hikari**
It was quite enjoyable!
**[18:32] Sylphy**
It was?
**[18:33] Hikari**
And thanks to that, we're full of energy now.
**[18:35] Hikari**
Let's go all the way to the tenth floor.
**[18:39] Miku**
Wait up!
**[18:41] Bellia**
I can't believe they had that much fun.
**[18:43] Luceria**
Why are they all so happy?
**[18:46] Sylphy**
It's not fair.
**[18:47] Luceria**
I'll have to show up Airi and them
so they appreciate me more!
**[18:52] Luceria**
Let's go!
**[18:54] All**
Yeah!
**[18:55] Miku**
Hikarin, don't overdo it.
**[18:58] Hikari**
I've been having so much fun lately.
**[19:01] Hikari**
I hope these joyful days continue forever.
**[19:06] Miku**
Hikarin...
**[19:09] Hikari**
I want to become a hero.
**[19:15] Miku**
Yeah.
**[19:20] Sylphy**
Master!
**[19:22] Sylphy**
I sense monsters! They're close!
**[19:29] Kaito**
Syl, use Song of the Valkyrie.
**[19:31] Sylphy**
Got it.
**[19:32] Sylphy**
With trembling form, I offer this song.
**[19:38] Hikari**
Ice Circle!
**[19:38] Sylphy**
With echoing heartbeat, I play my song.
**[19:44] Sylphy**
My prayer of truth seeps into the land.
**[19:46] Kaito**
Now! Bellia, take the lizardman.
**[19:49] Kaito**
Airi-san and I will handle
one silver orc each.
**[19:52] Bellia**
Yes, my lord!
**[19:53] Airi**
Got it.
**[19:54] Luceria**
Wait, what about me?
**[19:55] Kaito**
Take this!
**[19:59] Sylphy**
I become the light.
**[20:03] Miku**
Dance of Visions!
**[20:05] Sylphy**
Having endured the long darkness,
the heroes await the signal.
**[20:08] Miku**
Snatch!
**[20:11] Sylphy**
Awaken the voices of the heroes
hiding quietly in the depths.
**[20:15] Hikari**
Syl-sama is amazing.
**[20:17] Hikari**
I feel power welling up from deep within.
**[20:22] Hikari**
I am strong right now.
**[20:27] Hikari**
Ice Circle!
**[20:37] Kaito**
Incredible.
**[20:38] Kaito**
I can't believe we defeated
a floor 9 monster with such ease.
**[20:42] Luceria**
That wasn't incredible at all!
**[20:43] Kaito**
What?
**[20:44] Luceria**
I didn't get to do squat
even though I wanted show off!
**[20:50] Kaito**
Now, now. Calm down.
**[20:57] Miku**
You look like a hamster again.
**[21:00] Luceria**
I'm a devil, not a hamster.
**[21:05] Hikari/Id**
*I do hope these joyful days continue forever.*
**[21:17] Airi**
We've finally reached floor 10.
**[21:20] Kaito**
What should we do?
**[21:21] Kaito**
Should we take the plunge and go deeper?
**[21:24] Airi**
Naturally.
**[21:26] Hikari**
Of course. We can't turn back now.
**[21:30] Miku**
If Hikarin's in, I am too.
**[21:32] Hikari**
Follow me, everyone.
**[21:43] Miku**
Hikarin!
**[21:46] Miku**
Hikarin!
**[21:52] Kaito**
What?
**[21:55] Miku**
Hikarin, hang in there.
**[22:02] Miku**
Hikarin!
**[23:35] Sign**
