Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:04] Atou     King Takuto! [00:06] Atou     Why did you allow those two so much freedom?! [00:11] Atou     You were watching them, weren't you?! [00:14] Takuto     Yes. [00:15] Atou     You stopped doing your work [00:16] Atou     just to them with your     shared perception, didn't you?! [00:19] Takuto     Yes. [00:20] Atou     You even had plenty of time to warn     them with your telepathy, didn't you?! [00:24] Takuto     Well, um... [00:26] Takuto     I didn't want to be too hard     on them and make them hate me. [00:29] Takuto     They're both at an impressionable age. [00:31] Atou     Are you their father?! [00:33] Atou     Are you the kind of father who     leaves all the annoying lecturing [00:36] Atou     to their mother so you can     look good to your children?! [00:39] Atou     And you two! [00:41] Atou     What were you even thinking, conspiring     with King Takuto to cover it up?! [00:46] Atou     It's too late to hide it! [00:48] Atou     Now, you three! [00:49] BrainEaters     Yes?! [00:50] BrainEaters     I hear you actually skinned a     person before their mayor's eyes. [00:55] Ichiro     We grew one step closer to being human! [00:57] Jirou     So human! [00:59] Saburou     We obtained a very human skin! [01:02] Atou     Be quiet! [01:08] Takuto     I guess the Brain Eaters were     a bad influence on them. [01:12] Atou     These two! [01:13] Atou     They eagerly gave these bird brains [01:15] Atou     the orders to do it! [01:18] Takuto     My kids are becoming delinquents... [01:20] Atou     I sent them off with extra warnings to     adhere to at least the minimum manners. [01:23] Atou     And this is the result! [01:25] Atou     None of you are to move from this spot until     you finish your reflection statements! [01:30] All     Okay. SIGN    It's Well Past Your Bedtime [03:11] Atou     Now then! [03:13] Atou     Let's begin the meeting about     what to do about Dragontan! [03:16] Takuto     I'll give you some candy. [03:18] Caria     Thank you, my king! [03:20] Maria     Yay! [03:21] Atou     You three! [03:23] Atou     Do you regret what you did at all?! [03:24] Gia     L-Lady Atou, that's enough. [03:27] Emle     I understand how you feel, [03:29] Emle     but I think moving the meeting     along is more important. [03:32] Moltar     My goodness, this is all because we     didn't teach those twins well enough. [03:37] Atou     Well... Fine. [03:40] Atou     It's true that I'm not     being as calm as usual. [03:44] Atou     The Dragontan issue does come first. [03:47] Moltar     In that case, [03:48] Moltar     Elfuur sisters, [03:50] Moltar     may we assume your investigation was     exactly as described in this report? [03:54] Caria     Yes. [03:55] Caria     We had our king look over it too, [03:57] Caria     so that should be accurate. [03:59] Moltar     Hmm. [04:00] Moltar     It would seem the city     is rather unsettled then. [04:04] Emle     They lack the resources to maintain order, [04:05] Emle     and it seems crime is on the rise. [04:08] Emle     They would likely have face some     manner of disturbance sooner or later. [04:11] Atou     On top of that, they're also facing     external attacks from Barbarians. [04:15] Atou     When it rains, it pours. [04:17] Emle     According to this report, [04:19] Emle     they're facing Goblins, Orcs,     and occasionally Hill Giants. [04:24] Gia     Goblins and Orcs aren't a problem, [04:27] Gia     but losses are unavoidable     against Hill Giants. [04:31] Moltar     They suddenly appear in groups near the city, [04:34] Moltar     steadily increasing by a     handful or so every day. [04:40] Atou     What do you mean by "suddenly appear"? [04:42] Moltar     It's probably a result of their     impaired ability to detect enemies. [04:47] Moltar     Beastmen generally have sharp senses that [04:49] Moltar     allow them to quickly detect     the approach of enemies, [04:52] Moltar     but they're likely exhausted. [04:55] Gia     Either way, [04:56] Gia     if nothing is done, then it's only a     matter of time before Dragontan falls. [04:59] Gia     I think we should dispatch a large     force as soon as possible. [05:03] Emle     I believe our Head Warrior is right on this, [05:05] Emle     but I don't agree with     splitting up our forces. [05:09] Emle     If we send our immediate     reserves to aid in defense, [05:12] Emle     then it will strain our     construction and farming. [05:16] Gia     In that case, couldn't we     send most of our Warriors? [05:19] Atou     Oh, by the way, I'll be     participating as well, [05:21] Atou     so please keep that in mind. [05:23] Emle     Huh?! [05:24] Moltar     I see. Because of your     ability to steal skills. [05:28] Atou     Yes, I should be able to     steal some useful skills, [05:30] Atou     even from weaklings like these Barbarians. [05:34] Atou     Isn't that right, King Takuto? [05:35] Takuto     Yeah. [05:36] Takuto     It's a good opportunity     to improve your strength, [05:39] Takuto     so I was planning to have you join them     the moment we decided to send troops. [05:42] Moltar     In that case, you'll need a retinue. [05:45] Moltar     Please leave that to me. [05:47] Atou     I'm certain I can entrust you with the     troublesome negotiations and coordination, [05:52] Atou     but I think we'll still need a few more men. [05:55] Moltar     I'll bring my apprentices with me. [05:57] Moltar     They can handle mundane tasks, [05:58] Moltar     but they can also easily defeat     Goblins in combat with their magic. [06:02] Atou     Understood. [06:04] Atou     I'll be counting on you, then. [06:06] Gia     In that case, our Warriors will     focus on national defense. [06:09] Emle     Honestly, I'm still a     little concerned . [06:13] Emle     Our national defense has relied     on Atou's presence so far. [06:19] Gia     I can't deny that. [06:21] Atou     To deal with that... [06:24] Takuto     We'll be making the Hero, Isla,     the cornerstone of our defense. [06:27] Three     Oh! [06:29] Atou     We're nearly finished with     production, aren't we? [06:32] Moltar     What perfect timing. [06:33] Moltar     Truly a great display     of our king's foresight! [06:36] Emle     You anticipated a situation like this from     the moment we began production, didn't you?! [06:42] Gia     Our king possesses the     power to see the future! [06:44] Takuto     It's true this was perfect timing, [06:47] Takuto     but it just happened to work out that way. [06:49] Takuto     Still... [06:52] Takuto     Sometimes, pretending to be     almighty is necessary too. [06:55] Caria     Our great king is impressive! [06:57] Maria     Clap, clap, clap! [06:59] Atou     King Takuto, what do you think? [07:01] Atou     Please feel free to comment. [07:03] Takuto     I made the right call allowing the Dark     Elves to participate in our meetings. [07:08] Takuto     This is nothing like when I had     to think of everything alone. [07:12] Takuto     So long as I'm managing     a real civilization, [07:15] Takuto     their contributions are vital. [07:18] Takuto     Hmm, it's perfect. [07:20] Takuto     It's a great strategy. [07:22] Takuto     Please keep it up. [07:24] Moltar     To receive your praise     is our greatest delight! [07:27] Gia     I swear to live up to your     expectations, my king! [07:30] Emle     Please count on me! [07:32] Both     Hip, hip, hooray! [07:38] Takuto     Saying a few words at the end     improved their motivation. [07:41] Takuto     Unlike in the game, [07:43] Takuto     it's the role of the leader     to draw out their potential. [07:47] Takuto     It's a difficult task,     but incredibly rewarding. [07:56] Atou     A new Hero is finally going to be born! [07:59] Atou     Oh, how I've long awaited this day! [08:01] Takuto     We were forced to ration quite a bit     to secure the resources for this, [08:05] Takuto     but now that will all pay off. [08:07] Maria     We'll get to eat our fill! [08:09] Caria     My king, what kind of person is     the Hero you'll be summoning? [08:14] Takuto     That's a surprise to look forward to. [08:18] Takuto     Atou, what do you think will happen to Isla? [08:21] Atou     She's the first Hero we're summoning     since coming to this world. [08:25] Atou     I can't even begin to     predict what will happen. [08:28] Takuto     I think it'll probably be fine though. [08:30] Atou     On the off-chance that she does     try to revolt against you, [08:33] Atou     I'll protect you with my life. [08:38] Takuto     I'm able to face this critical moment [08:41] Takuto     because you're with me and     willing to go that far. [08:43] Takuto     But I wouldn't be able to     resummon you if I lose you, [08:47] Takuto     so please don't sacrifice yourself. [09:14] Atou     King Takuto always prepares     for even the slightest risk, [09:22] Atou     but frankly, I think the     chances of that are slim. [09:30] Atou     There won't be any issues. [09:34] Atou     Isn't that right, Isla? [09:45] Isla     Oh great and mighty king, [09:47] Isla     you do me a great honor by granting me     this audience with you here in this place. [09:54] Isla     I am Isla, the one who rules all manner of     bugs, and my body is quivering with true joy SIGN    Production of the Hero, Isla, Queen of Bugs, is complete. SIGN    All Bug Units in this world have gained +2 Strength. [10:00] Isla     at the prospect of serving you once more. [10:04] Takuto     Isla... [10:05] Takuto     It's been a long time! [10:07] Takuto     Do you recognize me? [10:09] Isla     Oh my! Oh my! [10:11] Isla     I see. So that's what's going on! [10:14] Isla     Of course I remember you, King Ira Takuto! [10:19] Atou     Allow me to ask to be certain, Isla. [10:22] Atou     Do you truly mean your promise to serve him? [10:26] Isla     Oh my. Silly little Atou! [10:30] Isla     You're so cute, acting all tough! [10:33] Atou     A-Answer the question! [10:35] Isla     Of course I do. [10:37] Isla     The days I've spent with King Takuto     have been etched into this body! [10:42] Takuto     So you remember me! [10:44] Isla     Yes. [10:45] Isla     You were the only one able to fully     draw out my power, after all. [10:50] Isla     I would never forget you. [10:52] Isla     And you were always King Takuto's     most favorite, little Atou! [10:57] Atou     I-I get it, so enough already! [11:01] Isla     By the way, Master, [11:02] Isla     would you be kind enough to explain     the current situation to me? [11:07] Takuto     Of course. We'll talk in the palace. [11:11] Isla     I see. [11:12] Isla     So that's what's going on. [11:14] Takuto     Frankly, there's tons     that I don't understand, [11:17] Takuto     but thanks to Atou, I've     managed to get this far. [11:21] Atou     Oh, please. [11:22] Atou     It's only because you were     here with me, King Takuto... [11:25] Atou     If I were here by myself, I     would have committed suicide. [11:29] Takuto     Atou... [11:30] Atou     King Takuto... [11:32] Isla     Oh my. I shouldn't be watching this. [11:35] Isla     Regardless, I understand our strategy. [11:38] Isla     I'll protect our peaceful     nation in these strange lands. [11:42] Isla     That is the duty you've entrusted to me. [11:45] Takuto     Yeah. [11:45] Takuto     You're our defense Hero, after all. [11:48] Isla     In which case, our attack     Hero will be the one [11:51] Isla     to destroy the Barbarians     in the city of Dragontan. [11:55] Atou     Sending me is the best call, [11:58] Atou     but I'll miss you while I'm out doing it. [12:00] Takuto     I'll miss you too, Atou. [12:03] Takuto     But you're the only one     I can ask to handle it. [12:06] Takuto     Honestly, I'm real worried. [12:08] Takuto     I don't know if I'll be able to talk     to the Dark Elves without you. [12:11] Atou     We've always been together     since we came to this world, [12:15] Atou     and now we'll be apart... [12:17] Atou     King Takuto! [12:18] Takuto     Atou! [12:20] Isla     I shouldn't be watching this. [12:25] Atou     I'm heading out! [12:26] Atou     I promise I'll come back! [12:29] Takuto     Yeah. I'll be waiting for you. [12:42] Takuto     She's gone. [12:44] Isla     Well then, [12:45] Isla     I suppose I should be getting to work now. [12:48] Takuto     I'm counting on you, Isla. [12:50] Isla     I'm raring to go! [12:52] Isla     I'll do my part so you can enjoy this     new game, my great King Ira Takuto! [12:58] Isla     Leave all the details to me! [13:11] Isla     King Takuto, you really can't do     anything on your own, can you? [13:17] Isla     The sun has been up for a while now. [13:19] Isla     I can't believe you still     weren't up at this hour. [13:22] Isla     What have you been doing up until now? [13:24] Maria     The king always slept in until noon. [13:27] Caria     On days he wasn't up by noon, [13:30] Caria     either we came to wake him or Atou did. [13:33] Isla     What a big child you're being. [13:35] Takuto     But... [13:37] Isla     No more buts, King Takuto! [13:40] Isla     You are the leader of the great     Mynoghra, the King of Ruin! [13:44] Isla     How do you think others will see you [13:46] Isla     if you're sleeping in until noon     and having women come wake you up? [13:49] Isla     Make sure you get up in     the morning from now on. [13:53] Takuto     I'll do my best. [13:55] Caria     You're completely different from Atou.     She always lets our king do as he pleases. [14:01] Isla     That reminds me! [14:02] Isla     King Takuto, could I kindly borrow     little Caria and Maria for a bit? [14:07] Takuto     I don't mind, but why? [14:10] Isla     I'm not very familiar with     Mynoghra's main facilities yet, [14:14] Isla     so I was hoping to ask     them to show me around. [14:17] Takuto     So she wants to get a look in person     instead of just reading a map [14:21] Takuto     to get a solid picture     of our national defenses? [14:24] Takuto     Yeah, all right. [14:26] Takuto     Could I ask that of you two? [14:27] Maria     You can! [14:28] Caria     I'll graciously accept it. [14:30] Isla     Thank you so much, you two. [14:31] Isla     You're very good girls, aren't you? [14:34] Isla     Master, your people will be coming     to seek your approval soon, [14:38] Isla     so please look sharp. [14:40] Takuto     R-Roger that. [14:42] Emle     Pardon me! [14:44] Isla     Well, we'll be going now. [14:46] Maria     Going! [14:47] Caria     Yes. [14:52] Emle     I wanted to ask for you to look over     the revised assignment of our labor [14:55] Emle     and grant your approval. [14:57] Takuto     This might be the first time I'm talking     to someone other than Atou alone... [15:02] Emle     Umm, are there any shortcomings     in my proposal? [15:06] Takuto     No, no, no! [15:07] Takuto     It's all right! [15:08] Takuto     I think you've done well! [15:10] Emle     Really?! Thank you so much! [15:13] Takuto     Yeah, this is good. [15:15] Takuto     But starting next week, reduce the manpower     assigned to gathering and redirect it. [15:20] Emle     Oh! [15:21] Emle     We're adjusting how much we gather now that     we're finished summoning the Hero! [15:25] Emle     I'll be sure to do that! [15:27] Takuto     Phew... [15:28] Takuto     There's nowhere to run in     a one-on-one conversation... [15:30] Gia     Pardon me! [15:32] Gia     I've come to get your approval on     the training plan for our Warriors! [15:37] Takuto     This is incredibly tiring,     but I'll do my best. [15:42] Isla     Now, would you please be so kind as to tell     me everything you know about our facilities? [15:47] Maria     Everything! [15:48] Caria     That's the government office. [15:50] Caria     It's where the people file paperwork     and reports get written. [15:54] Isla     Nice and orderly. [15:55] Isla     I love that. [15:59] Isla     Oh my, little Emle? [16:00] Isla     You seem busy. Are you all right? [16:04] Emle     Can you believe it? [16:05] Emle     Gia broke our training equipment again! [16:08] Emle     The rate he burns through it is absurd! [16:11] Emle     I'm at my limit trying to scrape     together the budget! [16:15] Emle     I'm already insanely     busy with Moltar gone too, [16:19] Emle     and he just had to give me more damn work! [16:22] Isla     I'll give you head pats, so no     more filthy language, okay? [16:27] Emle     Ahh, so comforting... [16:30] Isla     And I'll give our Head     Warrior a scolding later. [16:33] Emle     Thank you so much. [16:36] Emle     Also, when you have some time, [16:37] Emle     could I please ask for your     advice on our next Building? [16:41] Isla     Yes, if you're happy with my help. [16:51] Gia     Put your heart into it! [16:57] Gia     Do you think you can protect our     king with such sloppy form?! [17:01] Gia     I'm going to retrain you all up from scratch! [17:04] Isla     Before you go retraining them, [17:05] Isla     you should recount your stock of equipment. [17:08] Gia     I-I'm sorry! [17:11] Gia     When I get heated up over     my training, I just... [17:13] Isla     Forgetting yourself so quickly is     proof that you're still a child. [17:17] Isla     If you want to protect our king, you     need to cultivate a cool head too. [17:21] Gia     Ah, please stop that, Lady Isla... [17:24] Gia     You're hurting my authority     as Head Warrior... [17:27] Maria     Head pats look so nice. [17:30] Isla     Oh my, what's that sound? [17:32] Maria     Dinner! [17:33] Caria     Let's all go together, Isla. [17:42] Isla     They're distributing food, I see. [17:44] Caria     Yes. [17:45] Caria     This is less wasteful than     having everyone make their own. [17:48] Maria     I'll go line up! [17:50] DarkElf     Lady Isla! [17:51] DarkElf     If you'll be eating, [17:52] DarkElf     then please use these! [17:54] DarkElf     We went and borrowed the dishware     for visiting emissaries. [17:57] Isla     I'm very happy for your consideration, [18:01] Isla     but I'll use the same dishware you all are. [18:04] DarkElf     N-No way! [18:06] DarkElf     That would be disrespectful! [18:07] Isla     I'm a defense Hero. [18:10] Isla     Protecting this nation means     protecting its people. [18:12] Isla     I can only fulfill my duty [18:14] Isla     when I'm able to share the perspective     and sentiments of our people. [18:20] Caria     What is it, Big Sis? [18:26] Isla     I wonder where those cute twins ran off to? [18:29] Maria     Here! We're giving it to you! [18:32] Isla     A plate? [18:33] Isla     Oh my! [18:36] Caria     We want you to use it. [18:37] Maria     It's a special plate that's     the same as everyone else's! [18:40] Isla     My! [18:41] Isla     My, my! [18:42] Isla     What adorable little girls you are! [18:46] Caria     We finally got you to give us head pats too. [18:49] Caria     We were feeling a little     jealous of everyone else. [18:51] Isla     I bet eating from such a lovely     dish will be a fantastic treat. [18:56] Isla     I promise to treasure it my whole life. [19:06] Isla     If we were to grow Living     Reeds on the border here, [19:11] Isla     we'd have flawless defenses     against intruders. [19:20] Isla     Oh, my, my. What's the matter? [19:22] Isla     It's well past your bedtime. [19:24] Caria     I woke up. I couldn't sleep. [19:27] Isla     I see. You too, Maria? [19:30] Maria     Caria was having a bad dream. [19:32] Isla     You're such a kind big sister,     caring for your little sister. [19:38] Isla     Would you like to tell     me why you can't sleep? [19:44] Caria     We have these dreams. [19:46] Maria     Dreams of fun times. [19:48] Maria     Dreams of our mother. [19:51] Caria     I know that we have to move on. [19:54] Caria     But the scenes in our dreams     are so warm and comforting. [19:56] Caria     Then we wake up and remember that it's all gone, [19:59] Caria     and it hurts so much. [20:02] Maria     So whenever one of us is     crying from our dreams, [20:05] Maria     the other wakes to be with her. [20:08] Isla     So that's why. [20:10] Caria     But it's okay. [20:12] Caria     We have those dreams much less     frequently than we used to. [20:16] Caria     Tonight was the first time in a long while. [20:19] Maria     We're sorry for worrying you. [20:21] Maria     We'll go back to sleep in a bit. [20:25] Isla     I just had a great idea! [20:27] Isla     Why don't I sleep with you two from now on? [20:30] Caria     Huh? [20:31] Maria     Uh... [20:32] Isla     Then when you wake up, [20:35] Isla     you'll at least have me there with you. [20:37] Isla     I'll always be here for you two. [20:41] Isla     I promise. [20:44] Maria     So warm. [20:46] Caria     Just like those times... [20:49] Isla     So rest easy. [20:51] Isla     Now, come sleep in your Isla's arms. [21:02] Isla     After discussing matters with little Emle, [21:04] Isla     I'm recommending the Learning     Institute as our next Building.

It's indispensable      for constructing Buildings and producing     units that require advanced education, and it      also reduces the upkeep cost of running a city      through the education of scholars. [21:08] Takuto     That sounds good to me. [21:09] Takuto     It's one we can't do without anyways, [21:11] Takuto     so we'll plan to build the     Living Reeds after that.

In addition to the      standard function, it also deals an additional      +1 Damage to enemy units attacking the city. [21:14] Isla     Yes. [21:15] Isla     The Forest gives the Dark Elves an advantage, [21:18] Isla     and Cursed Terrain gives all     evil beings an advantage.

[21:21] Isla     Plus, I'm here, so we     should be good for a while. [21:24] Takuto     It's not like we're actively     at war right now either. [21:27] Takuto     So there's no need to hasten     strengthening our defenses. [21:29] Isla     By the way, something little Caria      said helped me make up my mind. [21:33] Takuto     What was that? [21:34] Isla     Oh, it just made my heart flutter! [21:38] (Flashback) Caria     I want to learn a lot more     so I can be more useful to our king. [21:42] Isla     That's what she said. [21:45] Isla     That reminds me, Master. [21:47] Isla     What's going on with little Atou now? [21:52] Takuto     It looks like she's     in a pretty amusing situation.
