SIGN    Episode 9
SIGN    Earth Goes to the Fairy Kingdom
[01:42] Zwei
    Hey, Earth, did you hear the
    news about the new ad campaign?
[01:47] Earth
    Yeah, it's a big deal.
[01:50] Rona
    Huh? What campaign?
[01:52] Zwei
    What? You don't know?
[01:54] Earth
    There are four VR games out there right now.
[01:58] Earth
    There's this game, One More,
    but also a fighting game,
[02:02] Earth
    an FPS shooter,
SIGN    "Launch a full-out assault!"
[02:07] Earth
    and a mech game.
[02:10] Earth
    They all required their
    own specific VR helmet,
[02:15] Earth
    but they all wanted more customers,
    so the publishers all worked together...
[02:21] Earth
    And now you can play any game
    with any of the helmets.
[02:24] Rona
    I see.
[02:26] Zwei
    And so they're starting a big ad
    campaign for a 15-day free trial.
[02:34] Earth
    And they'll be adding the Fairy Kingdom
    into One More on the first day it begins.
[02:42] Zwei
    All four games are going
    to get a lot more players.
[02:49] Zwei
    Ow!
[02:50] Earth
    These are for the customers!
[02:52] Earth
    I'll whack anybody who touches them, and that includes you, Zwei!
[02:55] Zwei
    You already whacked me!
[02:57] Earth
    Oh, Nora...
[02:59] Earth
    This is for you.
[03:04] Nora
    This is so that if Zwei does something dumb,
[03:06] Nora
    I can smack him hard, right?
[03:10] Zwei
    What was that for?!
[03:13] Earth
    You've got it.
[03:15] Nora
    Okay.
[03:17] Kazamine
    If that many new players are coming,
[03:20] Kazamine
    all the guilds must be getting
    ready to try to recruit them.
[03:25] Zwei
    Hey, put that thing away.
[03:27] Nora
    Think we should start recruiting, too?
[03:31] Nora
    I think we could be a good
    medium-sized guild, if we wanted to be.
[03:35] Nora
    First, we'd have to make
    sure to get Eliza in line,
[03:39] Nora
    or the new members
    might have a rough time.
[03:41] Zwei
    Eliza, huh?
[03:50] Rona
    Earth saved her the other day, right?
[03:56] Zwei
    Listen, Earth, why don't
    you just join our guild?
[04:03] Earth
    No.
[04:04] Zwei
    Why?
[04:06] Earth
    I'm sorry I keep turning you
    down each time you ask.
[04:11] Earth
    But, well... part of it is that
    I just want to do my own thing.
[04:17] Earth
    And there are some things I'd rather
    other players didn't find out about.
[04:22] Earth
    The Queen and her sister, for instance...
[04:30] DragonPrincess
    A new item for your repertoire?
[04:32] DragonPrincess
    Maybe I'll be the first to take a bite.
[04:36] Earth
    This is something new
    I'm making for the customers.
[04:39] Earth
    Don't eat it!
[04:40] DragonPrincess
    You're mean.
[04:42] Nora
    Who are you?
[04:44] DragonPrincess
    You're telling me I have to look
    at this delicious meat and not eat it?
[04:49] Earth
    Listen, Ryuu...
[04:50] Blue Color
    Ryuu?
[04:51] Earth
    If I let you start eating,
    you'll eat 15 of these steaks!
[04:54] Earth
    You glutton!
[04:56] DragonPrincess
    Who are you calling a glutton?
[04:58] Earth
    It's true, isn't it?
[05:00] DragonPrincess
    You'll regret saying that!
[05:02] Millie
    Um...
[05:05] Millie
    Who might you be?
[05:08] Millie
    I've never seen an outfit
    like that before...
[05:11] Kazamine
    Japanese clothes?
[05:12] Millie
    And you don't look like a fairy.
[05:17] Earth
    Oh...
[05:20] Rage
    Earth!
[05:21] Rage
    Don't tell me the queen
    wasn't enough for you,
[05:23] Rage
    so you went after her, too?
[05:25] Zwei
    What?!
[05:27] Zwei
    I'm so jealous!
[05:28] Zwei
    I wish I could—
[05:32] Earth
    Don't you start getting
    weird ideas, too, Rage!
[05:35] Zwei/Rage
    It's a compliment!
[05:36] Earth
    Shaddup!
[05:38] Earth
    She's practically eating
    me out of house and home!
[05:41] Earth
    If I could give her to you, I would!
[05:44] Millie
    They seem quite close.
[05:44] DragonPrincess
    Can I eat this?
[05:47] Earth
    Oh, fine...
[05:47] Nora
    He called her "Ryuu," right?
[05:53] DragonPrincess
    Indeed. Only Earth can call me that.
[05:57] DragonPrincess
    I have no intention of
    letting anyone else do it.
[06:02] Zwei
    I'm putting this up on the game forum.
[06:04] Earth
    If you do, I don't think
    I'll ever cook for you again.
[06:09] Nora
    So first he's a fairy-playah,
    and now he's a dragon babysitter?
[06:15] Rona
    He's taking an interesting path in life.
[06:16] Millie
    Really.
[06:18] Earth
    Give me a break, guys.
[06:22] Earth
    What would happen if I went to
    the Fairy Kingdom like this?
SIGN    Castle

SIGN    Fort
SIGN    West
SIGN    East
[06:27] Earth
    The Fairy Kingdom is south of
    the game's second city, Nexia.
[06:31] Earth
    There's a castle at its center,
    with towns spreading out in a cross shape,
[06:35] Earth
    and forts that serve as checkpoints
    in each cardinal direction.
[06:40] Earth
    And today's the day it
    was put into the game!
[06:45] Earth
    A ton of players are on
    their way there, of course.
[06:51] Earth
    The usual way to get there is to walk.
[06:54] Earth
    With so many people heading
    for the same place,
[06:56] Earth
    it means everyone has something in common,
[06:59] Earth
    and it's easy to talk with
    people you've never met.
[07:02] Earth
    So that's the north fortress?
[07:05] Adventurers
    Oh, so that's the fort?
[07:07] Adventurers
    We're finally here.
[07:12] Earth
    It's huge...
[07:22] Man
    Um...
[07:23] Earth
    Yes?
[07:24] Man
    If you don't mind, I'd like to take a closer
    look at that ring on your left hand.
[07:29] Earth
    Didn't she say something about
    this ring serving as a pass?
[07:33] Earth
    Oh, this?
[07:37] Man
    That's the Queen's ring, yes.
[07:40] Man
    So you're Earth.
[07:42] Man
    It is a pleasure to meet you.
[07:44] Man
    I am the leader of the northern fort.
[07:48] Man
    May I have a word?
[07:50] Earth
    Is there something wrong?
[07:52] Man
    Her Highness has requested that you
    be brought to her immediately.
[07:59] Man
    Bring it here!
[08:01] Soldier
    Yes, sir!
[08:02] Adventurers
    What's going on?
[08:03] Adventurers
    An event?
[08:06] Earth
    Everyone's staring at me...
[08:21] Man
    This is a pikasha, a bird which only a
    select few fairies are permitted to ride.
[08:28] Man
    It allows you to move very quickly.
[08:30] Man
    Please take this pikasha to the castle town.
[08:34] Adventurer
    Those fluffy feathers look so comfy...
[08:37] Adventurer
    I'm jealous.
[08:38] Adventurer
    But we don't get to ride it, right?
[08:42] Earth
    I'll just try to ignore it...
[08:44] Earth
    Okay, thanks.
[08:46] Earth
    Pikasha, thanks for the ride!
[08:53] Earth
    It sure is fluffy!
[09:02] Earth
    The pikasha put up a barrier
    to block the wind?
[09:05] Earth
    It's not as windy as I thought it would be.
[09:08] Earth
    Flying up here feels like something
    out of a real fantasy story!
[09:13] Earth
    Is that the city?
[09:33] Earth
    I'm almost there.
[09:51] Queen
    Welcome!
[09:54] Earth
    I thank you for the warm
    welcome, Your Majesty.
[10:00] Earth
    She looks relieved.
[10:03] Earth
    She knows I'm not going to make
    fun of her in a place like this.
[10:07] Queen
    We've prepared a small parade.
[10:11] Earth
    A parade?
[10:13] Queen
    You're the star!
[10:22] Queen
    I hope you all enjoy it, as well!
[10:43] Earth
    I don't like being the center of attention,
[10:46] Earth
    but it'd be a waste of time to
    refuse and get in a fight...
[10:53] Earth
    And I'm not hating it as
    much as I thought I would.
[11:04] Earth
    Even if it's a game, only a few players will
    ever get to experience something like this!
[11:12] Earth
    And that's why I should try to
    have as much fun as possible.
[11:18] Earth
    This fantasy isn't reality.
[11:22] Earth
    But the memories it'll leave are real!
[11:29] Earth
    I thank you for the warm welcome.
[11:32] Earth
    But I think you went a little overboard...
[11:37] Queen
    The point of the parade was
    to make sure every fairy
[11:42] Queen
    in the kingdom knew you were here.
[11:45] Queen
    They've all been waiting for you!
[11:52] Queen
    There were even rumors I was
    keeping you all to myself.
[11:58] Earth
    Those rumors were true.
[12:03] Earth
    Uh-oh!
[12:13] Queen
    Maybe I will keep you all to myself!
[12:15] Earth
    Hey!
[12:18] Ulna
    Your Highness, control yourself.
[12:20] Queen
    Of course. We'd appreciate it if you
     would stay in our country for a while.
[12:26] Queen
    We won't do anything to spoil your stay,
    like assigning an escort or a monitor.
[12:33] Earth
    Very well.
[12:35] Earth
    Starting tomorrow, I'll go back
    to being a normal adventurer.
[12:40] Earth
    I'll head back to the fort town
    and start looking around.
[12:45] Queen
    Then with this, our audience is concluded.
[12:52] Earth
    This was the longest I've
    ever been logged in.
[12:59] Earth
    Time to log out and...
[13:05] Queen
    Where are you going?
[13:07] Earth
    I was going to the inn to get some sleep.
[13:11] Queen
    Then why don't we sleep next
    to each other in my bed?
[13:22] Queen
    Hey!
[13:27] Queen
    Jeez!
[13:29] Earth
    I jumped out the window like a thief!
[13:34] Earth
    Actually, I do have the
    Benevolent Thief skill...
[13:41] Earth
    After I left the castle, they gave me a
    ride to the south fort town on a pikasha.
[13:48] Earth
    The reason I chose the south side...
[13:51] Earth
    was that this was the
    furthest side from Nexia,
[13:54] Earth
    so there were fewer players here.
[13:59] Earth
    Excuse me! I defeated
    those eight high rabbits!
[14:05] Woman
    You defeated them already?
[14:07] Woman
    I thought it would take several days.
[14:09] Woman
    Oh, did you see any thiefbirds?
[14:12] Earth
    I sure did!
[14:14] Earth
    After I shot a high rabbit,
[14:17] Earth
    one tried to steal my kill
    right in front of me!
[14:20] Earth
    So I shot it down!
[14:23] Woman
    You're a really good shot!
[14:26] Earth
    By the way, is there someplace
    I can use to cook?
[14:30] Woman
    Use the kitchen in the back.
[14:32] Earth
    I'll pay you rent for it.
[14:34] Woman
    How kind of you!
[14:38] Earth
    This is a tavern and quest
    giver in the middle of town.
[14:41] Earth
    The second floor is an inn.
[14:44] Earth
    I've decided to stay here for a while,
    making this my base while I do quests.
[14:50] Earth
    First, I'll add some simple seasonings
[14:53] Earth
    so I can get a feel for
    what the meat tastes like.
[15:01] Earth
    Yeah, it's good.
[15:03] Earth
    Both fillets are thinly sliced,
    but you can really taste the meat.
[15:07] Earth
    There's no gamy taste, either.
[15:09] Earth
    Okay, I'll make a simple dish that
    really brings out the ingredients!
SIGN    Thiefbird Kabob with Lido
    Grilled thiefbird meat on a skewer with Lido vegetables.
    Effects: Speed Boost (Medium) Score: 8
[15:14] Earth
    I decided to see if I could use
    thiefbird meat to make kabobs,*
[15:17] Earth**
    just like I did with rabbithorn.
SIGN    Rabbit Hamburg Steak
    A Hamburg steak made with a mix of high rabbit and thiefbird meat.
    Not at all similar to the Hamburg steak humans normally eat, but still not bad.
    Score: 7
[15:21] Earth
    And I tried one more dish:
[15:23] Earth
    a mix of chopped up high rabbit meat with
    the leftover thiefbird, kneaded into a patty!
[15:28] Earth
    It's the first time I've tried this,
    and it might be a little weird, but...
[15:34] Earth
    Time to dig in!
[15:36] Earth
    First, the kabobs!
[15:39] Earth
    Yeah, I can taste more of
    the flavor with every bite!
[15:45] Earth
    This isn't bad, either.
[15:48] Fairies
    I thought I smelled something good!
[15:51] Fairies
    That looks good!
[15:53] Fairies
    Human cooking really is different.
[15:56] Fairies
    I'd love to try it!
[15:58] Earth
    Um, if you're willing to pay...
[16:01] Fairies
    We are!
[16:04] Fairies
    These kabobs go so well with beer!
[16:07] Fairies
    Those obnoxious high rabbits
    ain't so tough now, huh?
[16:11] Fairies
    I didn't know thiefbirds were so good!
[16:15] Fairies
    Gimme another drink!
[16:17] Woman
    Coming!
[16:19] Earth
    I didn't think I'd be cooking even
    after coming to the Fairy Kingdom.
[16:24] Earth
    I guess it's okay, though.
[16:26] Earth
    For the next several days, my play
    cycle consisted of doing quests,
[16:32] Earth
    cooking what I killed,
[16:35] Earth
    and then eating and drinking with everyone!
[16:40] Earth
    I was having a ton of fun
    with all the fairies, but...
[16:45] Boy
    Ma'am, you need to hide Earth, now!
[16:48] Boy
    The fort leader's stupid
    daughter is on her way here!
[16:52] Boy
    Hurry!
[16:53] Woman
    Earth, hide down there!
[17:00] Daughter
    I've heard there's a human
    here who cooks strange food.
[17:05] Daughter
    Bring him to me immediately.
[17:08] Daughter
    I need to give him a chance
    to work as my chef.
[17:12] Earth
    That's an incredibly arrogant
    way of putting it...
[17:15] Woman
    I'm sorry. He's already left.
[17:21] Daughter
    I know he was here a few days ago, at least.
[17:26] Daughter
    Has he truly left?
[17:29] Daughter
    Nothing good will come of hiding him.
[17:31] Daughter
    I know he wouldn't refuse
    a chance to cook for me.
[17:36] Woman
    I told him that it was dangerous to leave
    without taking time to properly prepare,
[17:43] Woman
    but he said he had urgent
    business in the east.
[17:56] Daughter
    The east, yes?
[17:58] Woman
    Yes.
[17:59] Daughter
    I see.
[18:01] Daughter
    Hey!
[18:02] Daughter
    Get me information on every
    adventurer who headed east.
[18:05] Daughter
    No chef can be allowed to leave this city
    without cooking for me at least once!
[18:12] Daughter
    When you find him,
    capture him and bring him to me!
[18:16] Soldiers
    Yes, ma'am!
[18:20] Daughter
    You, too. Call me if you learn anything.
[18:23] Woman
    Of course.
[18:29] Fairies
    What's her problem?
[18:31] Fairies
    She's always that stupid, right?
[18:34] Woman
    It's safe now, I think.
[18:36] Woman
    That stupid girl has her
    eye on you now, huh?
[18:40] Woman
    I'm sorry, Earth.
[18:42] Woman
    This is my fault...
[18:44] Earth
    You knew who I was?
[18:47] Woman
    Yes.
[18:48] Woman
    There's actually an order from the
    queen that even if we recognize you,
[18:53] Woman
    we're not to say anything.
[18:55] Earth
    I didn't know.
[18:57] Woman
    And you didn't seem to want
    special treatment, either.
[19:02] Woman
    That girl causes a lot of problems
    with her personality as it is.
[19:07] Woman
    But her father runs the fort,
    so nobody can say anything.
[19:11] Woman
    And he never punishes her for her
    selfishness, either. He spoils her.
[19:16] Earth
    Is that okay for him to
    run the fort this way?
[19:19] Earth
    Nothing good comes of being
    cruel to your people.
[19:23] Earth
    I can't cause any more problems for you.
[19:25] Earth
    I'll leave.
[19:33] Woman
    If it weren't for this, I would've
    wanted you to stay here forever.
[19:37] Earth
    No, I had a great time.
[19:40] Earth
    And...
[19:43] Earth
    Having people say they liked my cooking,
[19:45] Earth
    drinking with me and having fun...
[19:48] Earth
    My life was lots of fun!
[19:58] Earth
    I waited for nightfall and then left.
[20:21] Soldiers
    You're Earth, yes?
[20:24] Soldiers
    We've heard what's going on.
[20:26] Soldiers
    That stupid girl has caused
    far too many problems.
[20:30] Soldiers
    People are gathering evidence of
    her behavior to take to the queen.
[20:35] Soldiers
    Come back when things calm down.
[20:41] Soldiers
    Through here. Hurry.
[20:43] Earth
    Thank you.
[20:48] Zetan
    This way.
[20:52] Zetan
    You're late.
[20:55] Zetan
    Hurry and get on my back.
[21:00] Zetan
    Your cooking was delicious.
[21:05] Earth
    You ate it?
[21:07] Zetan
    Yes. And as a small way of saying thanks,
[21:10] Zetan
    I'll take you to the south town.
[21:15] Earth
    Okay, then hurry!
[21:17] Zetan
    Leave it to me!
[21:19] Earth
    Farewell, fort town of the south!
[21:22] Earth
    Farewell, fairies of the south!
[21:37] Zephana
    We have received a report
[21:39] Zephana
    from the people of the south fort town
    that the daughter of the fort's leader
[21:46] Zephana
    exhibited inappropriate behavior
     toward a human adventurer yesterday.
[21:50] Queen
    That's terrible...
[21:52] Queen
    We're trying to be friends with the humans.
    Nothing can be allowed to stop that.
[21:57] Zephana
    And that adventurer... was Earth.
