[00:03] For
    My name is Valefor.
[00:06] For
    It's been one week since I was taken
    into confinement by an Archdemon.
SIGN    Valefor's Archdemon Observation Log
[00:15] For
    With my roommate, Nephy,
[00:18] For
    I've been doing work like cleaning,
    laundry, and preparing food.
[00:23] For
    It's tiring, but no real pain.
[00:25] For
    Mostly because if I do
    good work, I get praised.
[00:31] For
    I have to say, I don't understand the
    Archdemon and Nephy's relationship.
[00:36] For
    Every morning, Nephy goes to him.
[00:40] For
    After staring at the Archdemon's face in the
    throne room, she begins her work for the day.
[00:46] For
    I once decided to get closer
    to see what she was doing,
[00:49] For
    but it looked like she was just
    watching him from different angles.
[00:53] For
    As she did, Nephy's pointy
    ears started to wiggle.
[00:59] For
    Then, she said in a quiet voice...
[01:02] (Flashback) Nephy
    Tomorrow will be the day.
[01:03] For
    I thought that was interesting
    so I've made a note of it.
[01:08] For
    Even if I don't understand why.
[01:11] For
    The Archdemon spends all day inside his
    library reading through sorcery books.
[01:16] For
    He also gives Nephy, who's his apprentice,
    hands-on lessons in sorcery.
[01:24] For
    Another thing I don't understand
    is why she sits on his lap.
[01:29] For
    He also keeps reaching out to Nephy's
    silver hair before pulling his hand away
[01:33] For
    in this weird motion, over and over.
[01:36] For
    Nephy looks anxious about it but not upset.
[01:44] For
    I wondered if I had seen something
    I shouldn't have and braced myself for death.
[01:49] For
    But...
[01:51] For
    It doesn't look like
    I'm going to be punished.
[01:55] For
    I wonder what I saw, then?
[01:57] Nephy
    I still don't have any answers.
[02:00] Nephy
    Still, living here gives me
    a warm feeling in my chest.
[02:07] Nephy
    And tomorrow, they're taking me
    to the old Archdemon's castle.
SIGN    Episode 8:
     I Found a Dragon and
    I Guess She's My Daughter Now
[03:49] Manuela
    So cute!
[03:52] Manuela
    I've even impressed with myself!
[03:55] Manuela
    Can I take her home with me?!
[03:56] Manuela
    Wait, other way around!
    Can you leave her here with me?!
[04:00] Zagan
    Simmer down!
[04:01] Zagan
    And she's not an object!
    I'm not handing her off!
[04:06] Manuela
    Thanks for shopping with us! Come again!
[04:09] Zagan
    Going to her store is always exhausting.
[04:10] Manuela
    I'll be waiting!
[04:12] Nephy
    But I think we made the right choice
    going to Miss Manuela's store.
[04:17] Zagan
    Well, she can't wander around in that armor.
[04:20] Zagan
    And considering she only had
    undergarments beneath her robe...
[04:23] Nephy
    Not that.
[04:25] Nephy
    Look.
[04:34] Nephy
    I think she likes her new outfit.
[04:36] For
    Zagan.
[04:38] For
    Thank you.
[04:41] Zagan
    W-Well, I'm glad you like it.
[04:50] Zagan
    What is this feeling?
[04:52] Zagan
    It's different from how I care
    for Nephy, but oddly warm...
[04:59] Zagan
    Wait... is this a protective instinct?!
[05:03] Zagan
    Ridiculous. The idea of me developing
    that kind of sentiment...
[05:08] Zagan
    If Barbatos heard about this,
    he'd be worried about my head.
[05:20] Chastille
    I'm such a fool.
[05:23] Chastille
    I had to return my Sacred Sword.
    I can't wear anointed armor.
[05:27] Chastille
    But...
[05:28] Chastille
    My withdrawal will cause a major delay
    in the manhunt for the new Archdemon.
[05:33] Chastille
    Although I doubt he'd ever
    be grateful to me for it.
[05:38] Chastille
    Why did I feel compelled to do it, though?
[05:42] Chastille
    I don't intend on getting
    between the two of them.
[05:46] Chastille
    But I do want to see them living peacefully,
[05:49] Chastille
    and one day start a family,
    enjoying their lives together.
[05:56] Chastille
    And then... even if it's just occasionally,
[06:00] Chastille
    I'd be honored if they'd
    remember me once in a while.
[06:06] Chastille
    I bet Zagan would be a doting father.
[06:11] Zagan
    Enjoying the new outfit?
[06:11] Chastille
    He's a kind man, deep down.
[06:13] For
    Yeah.
[06:14] Chastille
    Yeah, just like that...
[06:17] Chastille
    Wait, Z-Zagan?!
[06:20] Zagan
    You...
[06:22] Chastille
    You two already went as
    far as to have a child?!
[06:27] Zagan
    D-D-Don't be so shameless! Nephy and
    I haven't done anything like that yet!
[06:32] Chastille
    Wait, "yet"?
[06:34] For
    Zagan, who is this?
[06:36] Zagan
    Oh, sorry. That's a good point.
[06:42] Zagan
    Who are you?
[06:44] Chastille
    That's...
[06:46] Chastille
    You don't even remember me...
[06:49] Nephy
    Lord Zagan, Lord Zagan! It's Miss Chastille!
[06:53] Zagan
    Oh, right, you! You were dressed differently
    than usual, so I didn't realize.
[06:58] Zagan
    This is a friend of Nephy's.
[07:00] Zagan
    Why are you dressed like that?
[07:02] Chastille
    W-Well...
[07:04] Alfred
    Lady Chastille!
[07:06] Alfred
    It's dangerous to run around
    on your own like this!
[07:08] Alfred
    Wait, it's Zagan!
[07:10] Zagan
    Oh, it's the Three Cerulean Nerds.
[07:13] Trio
    Three Cerulean Knights!
[07:15] Ryan
    What were you doing to Lady Chastille?!
[07:18] Zagan
    Not a thing, really—
[07:24] Zagan
    Don't.
[07:27] For
    Why not?
[07:28] Zagan
    Nephy has a lot of friends in this town.
     A fight will lead to casualties.
[07:37] Alfred
    Come along, Lady Chastille!
    Cardinal Clavwell is calling for you.
[07:41] Chastille
    Cardinal Clavwell?
[07:42] Ryan
    Please, worry more about your self!
[07:44] Chastille
    Hey, wait...
[07:45] Ryan
    Come, right this way!
[07:47] Chastille
    Fine, just stop pushing me!
[07:47] Nephy
    Do you think Miss Chastille will be all right?
[07:49] Zagan
    Hard to say.
[07:51] Zagan
    But she's got plenty of support and
     other people she can count on.
[07:57] Zagan
    Being a sorcerer, if I got involved,
    it'd make her position more precarious.
[08:02] Zagan
    I'm curious, For.
    Did they do something to you?
[08:06] For
    Does a sorcerer really need a
    reason to hate the Angelic Knights?
[08:10] Zagan
    No. It's perfectly natural.
[08:15] Zagan
    Here's hoping this doesn't
    lead to more trouble.
[08:26] Zagan
    This is the Archdemon's castle.
[08:28] For
    I can't believe there's a building
    like this underground.
[08:31] Zagan
    It was probably constructed on the surface.
[08:34] Zagan
    Marchosias most likely used
    sorcery to lower it down.
[08:40] For
    Something about it smells familiar.
[08:43] Zagan
    What?
[08:44] For
    I think...
[08:47] For
    that dragons used to live here.
[08:49] Zagan
    Are you certain?
[08:50] For
    The way the cave is shaped reminds
    me of the one I used to live in.
[08:54] For
    The smell of the mana, too.
[08:56] Zagan
    Okay, see if you can find anything
    connected to dragons inside the castle.
[09:00] Zagan
    You can take any books you want.
[09:02] For
    Okay.
[09:31] For
    Zagan, what is that?
[09:33] Zagan
    Some kind of golem or chimera.
[09:35] Zagan
    A creature created with sorcery, in any case.
[09:38] Nephy
    Was it meant to guard this place?
[09:40] Zagan
    Most likely.
[09:41] Zagan
    But with Marchosias dead,
    it's stopped functioning.
[09:46] Zagan
    We'd better not risk it activating
    by touching it. Come on.
[09:50] For
    R-Right.
[09:57] For
    Zagan, what about that casting circle?
[09:59] Zagan
    What do you mean?
[10:01] For
    It's got draconic patterns.
[10:04] Zagan
    Really?!
[10:05] For
    Yeah.
[10:06] For
    I found it for you.
[10:08] Zagan
    Right. Good work, For.
[10:12] For
    Zagan praised me!
[10:15] Nephy
    That's great, For.
[10:19] Zagan
    Can you tell what it's function is?
[10:21] For
    I think it's hiding a door or something.
[10:24] Zagan
    Can you open it?
[10:26] For
    Yeah.
[10:34] Zagan
    What is it?
[10:35] Nephy
    Well, I just...
[10:41] Zagan
    This is...
[10:43] Zagan
    She wants something?
[10:45] Zagan
    But what?
[10:48] Zagan
    Oh, I see!
[10:51] Zagan
    Nephy.
[10:54] Zagan
    Don't... move.
[10:57] Nephy
    R-Right!

[11:11] Zagan
    She never acted like that when
    it was just the two of us.
[11:14] Zagan
    This isn't bad at all.
[11:18] For
    Stare....
SIGN    Gasp
[11:20] Zagan
    Wh-What is it, For?!
[11:22] For
    It's open.
[11:23] Zagan
    R-Right, good work!
[11:44] Zagan
    I see.
[11:46] Zagan
    Looks like this is the real deal.
[11:53] Zagan
    Our goal is to gather any books that have
     accounts of demons or the Archdemon crests.
[11:59] Nephy
    Understood.
[12:04] Zagan
    What is it?
[12:05] For
    Zagan, can you read people's minds?
[12:10] Zagan
    Good question. I wonder...
[12:12] For
    You were able to tell what Nephy
    wanted earlier without asking.
[12:17] Zagan
    Oh... Nephy always gives me clues.
[12:22] Zagan
    I need to be able to pick up
     on them, for my sake.
[12:26] For
    I'm kinda jealous.
[12:29] Zagan
    Not sure why you're acting like an outsider.
[12:32] Zagan
    I don't know how long dragons live, but
    Marchosias was around for a thousand years.
[12:37] Zagan
    I'm sure you'll be able to tell what people
    want without asking if you live that long, too.
[12:44] For
    A thousand years...
[12:45] For
    And I can stay with you?
[12:47] Zagan
    I won't stop you if you try to leave.
[12:53] For
    I'm staying here!
[12:56] Zagan
    This really isn't like me...
[13:03] For
    "The 12 Sacred Swords."
[13:06] Zagan
    Let me see that!
[13:12] Zagan
    I knew it!
[13:13] Zagan
    When I saw the Archdemon crest, I thought
    I had seen something similar before...
[13:19] Zagan
    It's the writing that's engraved
    on the Sacred Swords!
[13:21] Zagan
    It's not exactly the same, but I can tell
    they're scripts that come from the same source.
[13:27] Zagan
    You've done it, For!
[13:29] Zagan
    This means...
[13:30] Zagan
    If I learn more about Sacred Swords,
    I can find out about the Archdemon crests!
SIGN    An Archdemon's Dilemma:
    How to Love Your Elf Bride
[13:50] Chastille
    It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance...
[13:53] Chastille
    Lord of the Angelic Knights,
    Sir Raphael Hyurandell.
[13:57] Raphael
    And you must be the Maiden of the
    Sacred Sword I've heard so much about.
[14:02] Raphael
    I was informed you'd been relieved
    of duty for defying orders,
[14:05] Raphael
    but you've got a good look to you.
[14:08] Chastille
    Your praise honors me.
[14:10] Raphael
    So...
[14:12] Raphael
    How many sorcerers have you slain?
[14:16] Chastille
    Straight to the point, huh?
[14:19] Chastille
    The wielder of a Sacred Sword who has
    slain the greatest number of sorcerers...
[14:23] Chastille
    He'd gladly take my head
    after my act of apostasy.
[14:27] Chastille
    So be it, then!
[14:29] Chastille
    I do not believe that to
    be a number to boast about.
[14:35] Ryan
    Lady Chastille! Please, speak more carefully!
[14:38] Torres
    I'm not sure how much we can protect you!
[14:41] Alfred
    This is pitiful!
[14:42] Alfred
    Haven't we all pledged to give our
    lives to protect Lady Chastille?!
[14:49] Raphael
    It's been a long time since I've met anyone
    who'd dare talk to me like that.
[14:53] Raphael
    And you might be the first woman to do it.
[14:57] Raphael
    You can take that honor
    with you to the afterlife.
[15:02] Alfred
    Please run, Lady Chastille!
[15:03] Clavwell
    Sir Raphael!
[15:06] Clavwell
    What do you think you're doing to my knights?
[15:09] Raphael
    Clavwell, eh? I have no business
     with a bureaucrat like you.
[15:16] Clavwell
    Be that as it may, I have a
    duty to protect these knights.
[15:22] Raphael
    Never mind that. You confiscated the
    woman's Sacred Sword, didn't you?
[15:26] Raphael
    Where is it?
[15:28] Clavwell
    What does it matter to you?
[15:31] Raphael
    That should be obvious.
[15:33] Raphael
    Sacred Swords choose their wielders.
[15:36] Raphael
    As long as that chosen person lives,
    the sword cannot be used by anyone else.
[15:41] Raphael
    So...
[15:43] Raphael
    perhaps I should relieve the girl of her head.
[15:47] Clavwell
    Of all the dreadful ideas!
[15:49] Raphael
    I was merely stating a fact.
[15:51] Raphael
    Besides, you're in no position to dictate what a
    Sacred Sword wielder does with their blade.
[15:57] Chastille
    You speak out of turn, Sir Raphael!
[16:00] Chastille
    If we wield our swords on our own whims,
    then we're no better than thugs!
[16:08] Raphael
    That makes a second time
    you've taken that tone with me!
[16:12] Raphael
    Interesting!
[16:15] Raphael
    Is this what you want, Clavwell?
[16:17] Raphael
    One of the knights you aim to protect is on
    the verge of being slain while unarmed.
[16:26] Clavwell
    V-Very well.
[16:29] Clavwell
    Chastille, come this way.
[16:38] Clavwell
    Take it.
[16:40] Clavwell
    I don't know if returning this
    to you is the right choice.
[16:45] Clavwell
    I may even be giving that man
    an excuse to cut you down.
[16:50] Clavwell
    But... I have faith that you will find
    a way to overcome this tribulation.
[17:00] Chastille
    Thank you, Your Excellency.
[17:04] Chastille
    That man...
[17:06] Chastille
    It's like he was manipulating
    the sword back into my hands.
[17:10] Chastille
    But why?
[17:24] Barbatos
    Y-You're actually living
    with a little girl now?!
[17:29] Zagan
    How do you even know about that, Barbatos?
[17:31] Barbatos
    And I thought your only joke was your face!
[17:34] Barbatos
    There have been rumors around town
    about you kidnapping some brat!
[17:38] Zagan
    Are we done now? Can I go?
[17:42] Barbatos
    Damn, man, don't be such a stiff!
[17:45] Barbatos
    I'm treating you to
    good booze here, y'know?
[17:50] Barbatos
    So, who exactly is this rumored kid?
[17:53] Barbatos
    You take in a second apprentice or something?
[17:56] Zagan
    He's half right.
[17:58] Zagan
    It's actually someone you know.
[18:01] Barbatos
    What?!
[18:02] Barbatos
    So she's a sorcerer?
[18:05] Barbatos
    A female sorcerer...
[18:07] Barbatos
    I think the only local is
    Gremory the Enchantress?
[18:10] Barbatos
    She's supposed to be a
    serious man-hater, though...
[18:13] Zagan
    It doesn't look like he realizes
    For is Valefor... or a dragon—
[18:19] Barbatos
    Oh, yeah, Valefor!
[18:22] Barbatos
    Didn't Valefor raid your place the other day?
[18:25] Barbatos
    The giant guy in the mask.
[18:27] Zagan
    Right... that did happen.
[18:30] Barbatos
    Whatever happened with him?
[18:32] Zagan
    Survived, with any luck.
[18:35] Barbatos
    What, you just tossed him out like usual?
[18:38] Barbatos
    There are rumors that he's a dragon, y'know.
[18:42] Barbatos
    You could make some real potent
    catalysts out of his corpse.
[18:46] Barbatos
    What a waste.
[18:47] Zagan
    A good example of why I should
    keep For's identity a secret...
[18:52] Barbatos
    Well, forget about Valefor.
     Let's talk about this kid you've grabbed.
[18:55] Barbatos
    Who is she?
[18:56] Zagan
    Okay, does he actually know or not?
[19:00] Zagan
    It's hard to explain. I guess
    we could say I've adopted her.
[19:05] Barbatos
    Y-You, adopted a little girl?!
[19:08] Zagan
    Oh, he's so far gone.
[19:11] Barbatos
    Well, that's enough joking for now.
[19:14] Zagan
    Can we finally get to the point, then?
[19:17] Barbatos
    The Church has sent for a real troublemaker.
    Thought I'd let you know.
[19:23] Barbatos
    The sorcerer hunter, Raphael.
[19:25] Barbatos
    He's killed 499 sorcerers so far!
[19:29] Barbatos
    The most dreadful of the Sacred Sword users,
    who's taken down the highest number of targets.
[19:34] Barbatos
    And you've been chosen
    to be lucky number 500!
[19:38] Zagan
    That's odd.
[19:40] Zagan
    Even with a Sacred Sword, could one
    person kill that many sorcerers?
[19:44] Barbatos
    That's the thing...
[19:45] Barbatos
    They say he's eaten a dragon.
[19:50] (Flashback) For
    Humans think that eating
    dragon flesh will make them stronger.
[19:54] (Flashback) For
    Does a sorcerer really need a
    reason to hate the Angelic Knights?
[19:58] Zagan
    That explains it.
[20:01] Zagan
    The Church doesn't approve of eating dragons,
    so this all all unconfirmed, mind you.
[20:06] Zagan
    You're volunteering an
    awful lot of news today.
[20:11] Barbatos
    Well, let's chalk it up to trying
    to make up for the other day.
[20:16] Barbatos
    I figure cozying up with you is gonna be a
    sweeter deal for me than trying to kill you!
[20:21] Zagan
    You're as shameless as you are obnoxious.
[20:24] Barbatos
    What I am is handy!
[20:26] Barbatos
    This would be a good deal for you.
[20:29] Zagan
    Maybe I'd believe that if
    I thought you had a conscience.
[20:33] Zagan
    What do you really want?
[20:35] Barbatos
    Marchosias' estate...
[20:37] Barbatos
    Why don't you let me manage it for you?
[20:40] Barbatos
    It's not like you can handle it all on your—
[20:41] Zagan
    No, thank you.
[20:43] Barbatos
    Why, dammit?!
[20:44] Zagan
    Because you're gonna hide anything
    you don't want me seeing.
[20:49] Barbatos
    Well, obviously!
    What's the problem with that?
[20:52] Zagan
    I... cannot understand how someone
    as smart as him can be so stupid.
[20:56] Zagan
    You can have a few sorcerous tomes.
[20:58] Zagan
    That'll have to do.
[21:01] Barbatos
    I guess that's a fair deal.
[21:04] Barbatos
    Gotta admit, it's great
    having generous friends!
[21:08] Barbatos
    I get to pick the books
    I want though, got it?
[21:12] Barbatos
    Don't try and pawn any crap off on me—
[21:14] Zagan
    One thing, Barbatos.
[21:17] Zagan
    The dragon-slaying Angelic Knight
    you mentioned, what's he look like?
[21:21] Barbatos
    Let's see... he's supposed to be
    way too huge for how old he is.
[21:28] Barbatos
    He's got a big scar from his forehead
    across the left side of his face.
[21:33] Barbatos
    They say the dragon he
    took down gave it to him.
[21:37] Zagan
    What a coincidence.
[21:39] Zagan
    I've seen someone who looks just like that.
[21:42] Barbatos
    Well damn, I'm impressed you survived!
[21:45] Barbatos
    I figured he would've taken
    a swing at you on sight.
[21:50] Zagan
    I think... we're just getting to that part.
