[00:01] Takuto
    This is our Clinic.
[00:02] Maria
    Where diseases are cured!
[00:04] Takuto
    Correct!
[00:06] Takuto
    The Building Cost is low too,
[00:07] Takuto
    so I had it built.
[00:09] Caria
    My king, are you sick?
[00:11] Takuto
    I'm not.
[00:12] Takuto
    We're here because your guard is here.
[00:16] Atou
    You don't mean them, do you?
[00:18] Takuto
    Yeah, them!
[00:24] Takuto
    Are you in?
[00:34] Medic
    Oh! It's our great and mighty
    king, King Ira Takuto!
[00:38] Medic
    We're honored to have you visit us here!
[00:40] Medic
    What an auspicious day!
[00:43] Medic
    Please, command us as you wish!
SIGN    What a Human Thing to Do!
[02:29] Atou
    Their enthusiasm is sufficient.
[02:31] Atou
    They pass as subordinates of King Takuto.
[02:35] Takuto
    Yeah, I produced them to
    prepare for the worst,
[02:38] Takuto
    but I've just had them standing by until now.
[02:41] Takuto
    I figure they'd be perfect for the task.
[02:44] Atou
    That's true.
[02:45] Atou
    Given their abilities,
    they'll be adequate guards.
[02:48] Takuto
    I never thought we'd be
    using them so soon though.
[02:51] Caria
    Um...
[02:53] Caria
    My king, who are these people?
[02:56] Takuto
    They're Medics.
[02:58] Takuto
    They not just treat injuries and diseases,
[03:00] Takuto
    but they can also fight to protect you.
[03:04] Maria
    Medics!
[03:08] Atou
    Our great king, King Ira Takuto,
    has words for all of you.
[03:13] Atou
    Pay close attention!
[03:14] Medic
    Yes, ma'am!
[03:17] Atou
    You are to protect these two
    as they head to Dragontan,
[03:20] Atou
    and observe the culture and the
    current state of that land!
[03:23] Medics
    O-Oh!
[03:25] Medic
    Culture!
[03:26] Medic
    Observation!
[03:27] Medic
    Protecting!
[03:28] Medics
    What a human thing to do!
[03:33] Medic
    We graciously accept this
    most honorable mission!
[03:36] Medic
    We shall all behave as humans!
[03:39] Medic
    And complete this mission perfectly!
[03:42] Medic
    After all, we are exemplary, model humans!
[03:44] Medic
    So carrying out tasks in a human manner...
[03:48] Medic
    is our forte!
[03:50] Maria
    Forte!
[03:53] Takuto
    They're quite enthusiastic.
[03:55] Takuto
    This is a good opportunity too,
[03:57] Takuto
    so maybe I should do something king-like?
[04:01] Takuto
    You three.
[04:02] Medic
    Yes!
[04:03] Medic
    Please give us your commands, my king!
[04:06] Takuto
    It's a little early, but
    I'll grant you a reward for
[04:09] Takuto
    protecting these two and
    following their orders.
[04:12] All
    A reward?!
[04:14] Takuto
    Yeah. I'll grant you names.
[04:16] Takuto
    Human names.
[04:19] Medic
    You would give us human names?!
[04:22] Takuto
    Ichiro. Jiro. Saburo.
[04:25] Takuto
    You may go by those names from now on.
[04:29] Medics
    Oh!
[04:31] Maria
    Oh!
[04:33] Takuto
    In this world, units have
    individuality, unlike in the game.
[04:37] Takuto
    They're obsessed with humans too.
[04:39] Takuto
    So acknowledging that
    individuality will likely...
[04:42] Jiro
    Ichiro!
[04:44] Jiro
    Let us honor this blessing of names
    by completing our mission perfectly!
[04:48] Ichiro
    Indeed, Jiro!
[04:50] Ichiro
    That would truly be a human thing to do!
[04:52] Saburo
    Do not forget about me, Saburo!
[04:56] Maria
    Or me either!
[04:59] Takuto
    Did I go too far?
[05:01] Atou
    Perhaps.
[05:03] Takuto
    W-What do you think, Caria?
[05:06] Takuto
    Are you okay?
[05:08] Caria
    Y-Yes.
[05:09] Caria
    Um, we'll do our best.
[05:13] Atou
    If you're ever in trouble,
[05:15] Atou
    please feel free to ask me anything.
[05:17] Caria
    T-Thank you, Atou.
[05:21] Three
    Human!
[05:21] Maria
    Human!
[05:22] Four
    Human! Human!
[05:32] Antelise
    I'm done with this!
[05:38] Antelise
    There's too much work to be done as mayor!
[05:41] Antelise
    And here I thought I finally
    managed to snag a life of freedom
[05:44] Antelise
    from that stiff, prim
    and proper elven nation!
[05:47] Antelise
    I thought I'd fall in love with a handsome man
[05:49] Antelise
    and live happily ever after with him
    while building a happy family!
[05:52] Antelise
    This whole world can perish!
[05:55] Antelise
    Right now! With all of its couples!
[06:03] Antelise
    What do you mean, I'm supposed to work with
    the forces of darkness to protect the city?!
[06:07] Antelise
    I've never even heard of this Mynoghra!
[06:10] Official
    Excuse me, Mayor Antik.
[06:13] Antelise
    What?!
[06:15] Antelise
    Oh.
[06:21] Antelise
    What did you need?
[06:23] Official
    Oh, well...
[06:25] Official
    There are some people who
    wish to meet you, Mayor.
[06:28] Antelise
    Huh? Visitors?
[06:31] Antelise
    Do they have an appointment?
[06:33] Official
    They do not.
[06:34] Antelise
    That so?
[06:35] Antelise
    Then send them away.
[06:37] Antelise
    My time is more precious than gold.
[06:40] Antelise
    Anyone who interrupts me should die!
[06:42] Official
    H-However, Mayor...
[06:45] Antelise
    What?!
[06:47] Official
    They say they're emissaries from Mynoghra.
[06:50] Antelise
    Start with that!
[06:53] Antelise
    That makes this the highest priority!
[07:00] Antelise
    Welcome to Dragontan.
[07:02] Antelise
    I'm Antelise Antik, and I serve as its mayor.
[07:09] Antelise
    Wh-What's with this aura?
[07:12] Antelise
    Why did the Staff Holders join
    forces with these things?
[07:16] Antelise
    Are they idiots?
[07:20] Antelise
    I'm grateful that you traveled
    all this way to visit.
[07:24] Caria
    I'm Caria Elfuur of Mynoghra.
[07:28] Caria
    This is my big sis, Maria Elfuur.
[07:32] Maria
    I'm her big sis!
[07:33] Antelise
    Well, well, how polite of you.
[07:37] Antelise
    Dark Elves...
[07:39] Antelise
    I had been told that Mynoghra had
    welcomed them in as citizens,
[07:44] Antelise
    but I wonder what kind of
    people these girls are?
[07:48] Antelise
    The three behind them warrant caution.
[07:51] Antelise
    Long ago, I heard about
    Dark Elf assassins...
[07:56] Caria
    Um?
[07:57] Antelise
    Oh, I'm sorry for staring!
[08:00] Antelise
    I wish I could have welcomed you properly,
    but your visit was so sudden...
[08:04] Caria
    No, that's fine.
[08:06] Maria
    Yeah, yeah.
[08:07] Antelise
    I appreciate that.
[08:10] Antelise
    What are these children doing as emissaries?
[08:14] Antelise
    It feels like there's something
    more to these sisters...
[08:17] Antelise
    Hmm? Elfuur?
[08:20] Antelise
    Didn't Lady Tonukapoli mention something?
[08:22] (Flashback) Tonukapoli
    There was a pair of sisters named Elfuur
[08:25] (Flashback) Tonukapoli
    who the king is personally educating
    to become that nation's future leaders.
[08:29] Antelise
    Geh?!
[08:31] Caria
    W-What's the matter?!
[08:33] Maria
    Croak?
[08:34] Antelise
    These two are incredibly major figures!
[08:37] Antelise
    What are these children doing here?!
[08:40] Antelise
    If I mishandle them at all,
    it could become a major issue!
[08:45] Antelise
    Wh-What b-b-business brings you to our city?
[08:49] Caria
    Uh! Well?!
[08:53] Jiro
    My lady, may I?
[08:56] Caria
    Oh, yes.
[08:57] Caria
    What is it, Jiro?
[09:00] Jiro
    Mayor Antik.
[09:02] Antelise
    Yes?!
[09:03] Jiro
    Our current visit
[09:05] Jiro
    is in response to the invitation from Master
    Pepe, the Staff Holder, to come and play.
[09:12] Jiro
    We are essentially students visiting to
    learn about life in another nation.
[09:16] Antelise
    O-Oh? That's what this is?
[09:19] Jiro
    One could say this is but the first step
    to ensure a smooth exchange in the future,
[09:24] Jiro
    so please understand that this
    is merely a greeting.
[09:27] Antelise
    A greeting?
[09:28] Jiro
    Yes.
[09:29] Jiro
    These young ladies are
    still young and learning.
[09:32] Jiro
    We would appreciate it if we
    could avoid official talks.
[09:37] Antelise
    Is that so?
[09:39] Antelise
    So you're not visiting to
    negotiate any agreements, then!
[09:43] Jiro
    We are not.
[09:44] Jiro
    If you would, kindly consider
    us simple tourists...
[09:48] Jiro
    Isn't that right, young ladies?
[09:50] Caria
    That's right! That's right!
[09:52] Maria
    Yeah, yeah!
[09:53] Antelise
    Thank goodness!
[09:55] Antelise
    It's just a meet and greet!
[09:57] Antelise
    Though I'll need to be careful
    not to offend these girls.
[10:02] Antelise
    In that case, please feel free to
    take in the sights of our city!
[10:06] Antelise
    If you'd like, I could show you around.
[10:08] Caria
    Really?!
[10:09] Caria
    You'd show us around, Mayor?!
[10:11] Antelise
    Yes!
[10:12] Antelise
    I'm very familiar with every
    corner of this city, after all.
[10:18] Antelise
    I need to get along with these girls
[10:20] Antelise
    and ensure they leave with a good impression!
[10:23] Antelise
    It's crucial for future
    negotiations to go well!
[10:26] Antelise
    Shall we get going, then?
[10:28] Antelise
    Yes! I get to ditch work!
[10:35] Antelise
    We have many different goods available.
[10:38] Antelise
    Over here too.
[10:39] Antelise
    The food at this stall isn't
    very good, so I wouldn't.
[10:46] Antelise
    Let's go!
[10:47] Maria
    Perky boobies.
[10:49] Takuto
    Thank goodness.
[10:50] Takuto
    It looks like it's going well.
[10:52] Atou
    King Takuto!
[10:54] Atou
    Your hands aren't moving.
[10:57] Takuto
    Sorry, sorry.
[11:06] Antelise
    Farewell, then!
[11:10] Caria
    Miss Antelise is a kind person.
[11:17] Caria
    Now, let's review today's investigation.
[11:20] Caria
    Big Sis, how did it seem to you?
[11:24] Maria
    Anxious.
[11:26] Maria
    "I have no food."
[11:28] Maria
    "The enemies outside are scary."
[11:30] Maria
    "No one's coming to save us."
[11:32] Maria
    "What are we going to do?"
[11:34] Ichiro
    That's awfully specific.
[11:37] Caria
    Big Sis is sensitive to
    the emotions of others,
[11:40] Caria
    so she can get a vague idea of how they feel.
[11:45] Ichiro
    Oh! To have such a power!
[11:48] Jiro
    I see!
[11:49] Jiro
    So that's why she wanted this.
[11:52] Caria
    What is that?
[11:54] Jiro
    Something my lady Maria
    asked me to buy for her
[11:56] Jiro
    while we were going through
    the city this afternoon.
[11:59] Maria
    I got it in secret!
[12:02] Maria
    Grass?
[12:03] Caria
    Is this Popil Grass?
[12:05] Caria
    It has its nuts too.
[12:07] Saburo
    You're familiar with this, Lady Caria?
[12:11] Caria
    It's a plant that can cause powerful
    euphoria and hallucinations.
[12:14] Caria
    Nearly every nation has banned its
    use, possession, and cultivation.
[12:20] Jiro
    Ah, a narcotic?
[12:22] Jiro
    That's no good, young lady.
[12:23] Jiro
    Go throw that away.
[12:25] Maria
    Toss!
[12:27] Caria
    It's in good shape and too free
    of bug holes to be a wild plant.
[12:30] Caria
    It was probably grown by someone.
[12:33] Ichiro
    And that's circulating
    the markets of Dragontan?
[12:37] Ichiro
    That's dangerous business.
[12:40] (Flashback) Antelise
    Let's go!
[12:46] Caria
    All when Miss Antelise
    is working so hard too...
[12:50] Saburo
    It sounds like we'll need to be cautious,
[12:52] Saburo
    even when we're sightseeing.
[12:55] Jiro
    Yes, Saburo.
[12:56] Jiro
    Make sure to protect the young ladies!
[12:59] Ichiro
    I would like to avoid any conflicts...
[13:04] Maria
    But humans love conflict.
[13:08] Three
    Wh-What?!
[13:22] Caria
    It's cold.
[13:23] Ichiro
    Young ladies, this is the Dragon Vein Mine.
[13:27] Ichiro
    It has been cleverly concealed with the soil,
[13:29] Ichiro
    but it seems they couldn't hide it all.
[13:34] Caria
    It's pretty.
[13:37] (Flashback) Mom
    Caria, Maria.
[13:39] (Flashback) Mom
    This world is filled with lots
    of pretty things and places
[13:43] (Flashback) Mom
    that you don't know about yet.
[13:58] Vesta
    The Popil Grass grows well in this place.
[14:01] Vesta
    Please forgive me for imposing,
    emissaries of Mynoghra.
[14:07] Vesta
    I run a business here in the city.
[14:10] Vesta
    My name is Vesta Kurklain.
[14:13] Caria
    Thank you for the introduction.
[14:16] Caria
    So what did you wish to discuss with us?
[14:19] Vesta
    I'm a merchant, so of course,
    I'd like to discuss business.
[14:25] Vesta
    I've heard that this land will be
    jointly contrlled by your nation.
[14:29] Vesta
    So, how about it?
[14:31] Vesta
    Would you be willing to cultivate
    Popil Grass here with me?
[14:35] Caria
    What's the benefit for Mynoghra?
[14:38] Caria
    What should I report to our king?
[14:41] Vesta
    Popil Grass fetches a high price.
[14:44] Vesta
    You would be given a
    portion of those earnings.
[14:47] Vesta
    Of course, I'd prepare
    other offerings as well.
[14:52] Caria
    Other offerings... like what?
[14:55] Vesta
    This isn't a good place
    to discuss that further.
[14:58] Vesta
    Please come to this location
    after sundown today.
[15:02] Vesta
    We'll go into details there.
[15:09] Vesta
    It's nice dealing with people
    who are evil-aligned.
[15:13] Vesta
    You're always quick to understand.
[15:16] Vesta
    The current mayor is so inflexible
    that it makes things difficult.
[15:20] Vesta
    I'm sure your king would be delighted as well.
[15:24] Vesta
    Now then, I'll be waiting for you.
[15:40] Antelise
    Time sure flew by, didn't it?
[15:43] Caria
    Yes.
[15:44] Caria
    You've really taken good
    care of us, Miss Antelise.
[15:48] Maria
    Yeah, yeah!
[15:49] Antelise
    It's fine, it's fine.
[15:51] Antelise
    I got to network with you two, after all.
[15:53] Caria
    We're not all that important,
[15:56] Caria
    but I do hope you'll rely
    on us if you ever need anything.
[15:59] Antelise
    My, how reassuring to hear!
[16:01] Antelise
    In that case, please make sure you present
    me in the best light to Mynoghra's king!
[16:07] Caria
    Of course!
[16:09] Maria
    Exciting!
[16:12] Vesta
    Pardon me.
[16:16] Anetlize
    Vesta?!
[16:17] Anetlize
    Who gave you permission to be here?!
[16:18] Vesta
    Now, now, Mayor.
[16:21] Vesta
    I received permission from the staff. Right?
[16:28] Antelise
    Why you...
[16:32] Vesta
    Now then, young ladies, may I have
    your response to my previous offer?
[16:36] Antelise
    Huh?
[16:37] Caria
    You mean the proposal to
    grow Popil Grass together?
[16:41] Vesta
    Yes. You never stopped by,
[16:44] Vesta
    so I came to hear your reply in person.
[16:49] Antelise
    You're kidding!
[16:50] Antelise
    These children made a deal
    with Vesta behind my back?!
[16:55] Antelise
    If the forces of darkness join
    hands with scum like him,
[16:58] Antelise
    then this city's finished...
[16:59] Caria
    What's the matter?
[17:01] Antelise
    Huh?
[17:03] Caria
    There's no way we would
    work with someone like you.
[17:06] Caria
    I thought you would understand that
[17:08] Caria
    when we didn't show up to respond.
[17:11] Vesta
    That's quite the protest.
[17:14] Caria
    Miss Antelise,
[17:16] Caria
    would it be an issue if
    we took care of these men?
[17:19] Caria
    If I acted out of turn and caused
    a rift between our nations,
[17:22] Caria
    I wouldn't be able to face our king.
[17:26] Antelise
    S-Sure! We wouldn't mind that!
[17:29] Antelise
    Have at them as you please!
[17:30] Antelise
    These guys have been
    making a mess of my city!
[17:34] Antelise
    Teach them a lesson!
[17:40] Vesta
    How unfortunate, young lady.
[17:43] Maria
    What's that?
[17:44] Caria
    It's probably a concentrate
    of Popil Grass extract.
[17:48] Caria
    I bet a single injection of that will
    make a person unable to live without it.
[17:53] Antelise
    What?!
[17:54] Caria
    Do you understand what you're doing?
[17:56] Caria
    If you try to lay a hand on us,
[17:58] Caria
    then you'll be making an
    enemy out of Mynoghra.
[18:01] Caria
    Do you understand how foolish that is?
[18:04] Caria
    We may be powerless children,
[18:06] Caria
    but King Ira Takuto, the man who ordered
    us on this mission, is an incredible king.
[18:11] Vesta
    I'll be fine.
[18:13] Vesta
    One injection of this
[18:15] Vesta
    and you ladies will follow my commands.
[18:18] Vesta
    After that,
[18:19] Vesta
    I'm sure this perverted
    pedophile, Ira Takuto,
[18:22] Vesta
    will do as I say without complaint.
[18:36] Vesta
    Huh?!
[18:39] Takuto
    I never thought that unit would
    prove so useful in this world.
[18:47] Atou
    Yes, that's so true.
[18:49] Emle
    Um, may I ask a question?
[18:53] Emle
    Why did you send the Medics as their guards?
[18:55] Emle
    You could have sent our Warriors, right?
[18:58] Atou
    They absolutely love humans, including
    closely related demi-humans.
[19:04] Emle
    Sorry?
[19:05] Atou
    Because of that, they have some
    rather unique abilities as a unit.

    belonging to the evil civilization of Mynoghra. Their basic
     function is the ability to heal all allied units in the same
     stack every turn. Furthermore, their intense passion for
     humans grants them powerful bonuses towards humans
    and closely related demi-humans. However, since
    Mynoghra does not have any humans, unique strategies
    are required to make good use of them, which
     generally proves difficult.
[19:11] Atou
    They excel...
[19:13] Atou
    Both at healing humans and killing them.
[19:17] Atou
    They love humans, but couldn't
    quite become humans themselves.
[19:21] Atou
    That's what our Brain Eaters are.
[19:31] Ichiro
    How magnificent, Saburo!
[19:34] Saburo
    Yes! Such foolish adherence
    to their own selfish desires!
[19:37] Saburo
    How truly human!
[19:39] Jiro
    This means that if we peel off their
    skin and wear it ourselves, then...!
[19:42] Ichiro
    We'll become even closer
    to being true humans!
[19:46] Vesta
    Wh-What are you people?!
[19:49] Medics
    Humans!
[19:54] Maria
    There, there.
[19:55] Maria
    Don't be afraid.
[19:58] Caria
    Please get him already.
[20:00] Vesta
    H-Hold on!
[20:02] Vesta
    You're all crooks like me, aren't you?!
[20:05] Caria
    Please don't group us together.
[20:07] Caria
    You have insulted our king.
[20:10] Caria
    That is the most unforgivable
    thing you could've done.
[20:13] Vesta
    Wh-What?
[20:13] Caria
    I will not show mercy to Mynoghra's enemies.
[20:16] Caria
    I will not show mercy to
    anyone who harms my big sis.
[20:19] Caria
    And I will never show mercy to
    anyone who insults our king.
[20:24] Caria
    Our king taught us this: Evil
    people are free to do anything.
[20:29] Caria
    So with that freedom and approval
    of our king, I command you—
[20:34] Vesta
    S-Stop!
[20:36] Caria
    Please kill him!
[20:38] Maria
    Kill him!
[20:39] Medics
    As you command!
[20:50] Ichiro
    What do you think, young ladies?
[20:53] Maria
    So human!
[20:54] Medics
    Human!
[20:57] Caria
    Miss Antelise...
[20:59] Caria
    Um, I'm sorry.
[21:02] Caria
    For making such a mess of your room.
[21:04] Antelise
    Huh?
[21:05] Caria
    They got carried away.
[21:07] Caria
    We never thought those
    birdbrains would go this far.
[21:11] Caria
    What would you like us to do about the
    cleaning bill or the cost of new clothes?
[21:17] Antelise
    Th-That's... not an issue.
[21:20] Antelise
    Don't worry about it.
[21:22] Caria
    Thank you so much, Miss Antelise!
[21:27] Antelise
    Oh, this girl...
[21:30] Antelise
    doesn't think anything
    of this gruesome scene.
[21:36] Ichiro
    Oh my?!
[21:37] Ichiro
    The mayor has wet herself!
[21:40] Jiro
    Heavens! We need to show
    her human thoughtfulness!
[21:43] Saburo
    In which case, let us pee ourselves too!
[21:46] Saburo
    We mustn't allow the mayor
    to bear such shame alone!
[21:49] Maria
    Peeing!
[21:50] Caria
    Cut it out already, you birdbrains!
[21:55] Maria
    Human!
[21:56] Caria
    You can't go doing that!
[21:57] Caria
    Are you trying to shame Miss Antelise
    even further, you birdbrains?!
[21:59] Maria
    That's right!
[22:01] Caria
    You birdbrains are oddballs to the core!
[22:02] Maria
    Human!
[22:03] Medic
    But...
[22:06] Antelise
    Messed up.
