[00:14] ---
    Wow, this is quite impressive.
[00:16] ---
    Yes. This is a beautiful city.
[00:24] ---
    But it feels sad.
[00:27] ---
    I would have loved to show you
    the dukedom in its most lively state,
[00:30] ---
    but there's no time.
[00:32] ---
    For now, we must go see my father...
[02:14] ---
    Bize?! Did you get help...?
[02:16] ---
    No, wait, did you get sick, too?!
[02:19] ---
    F-Father...
[02:23] ---
    Really? Will you save
    my nation and its people?
[02:28] ---
    I guess.
[02:33] ---
    So many...
[02:35] ---
    Shea, let's start!
[02:48] ---
    Asura.
[03:00] ---
    Tidal Wave.
[03:09] ---
    How is this possible...?
[03:10] ---
    That should last for a while.
[03:32] ---
    I want to try that once!
[03:35] ---
    Me, too!
[03:38] ---
    So, next is...
[03:44] ---
    Hmm?
[03:45] ---
    Hajime?
[03:46] ---
    I think my Demon Eye detected something...
[03:51] ---
    Duke, how far did the research team get
    in finding out what caused the pollution?
[03:55] ---
    They've analyzed the water in the
    oasis and the rivers that flow out of it,
[03:59] ---
    and the ground-water veins.
[04:01] ---
    They haven't gotten around to diving
    to the bottom of the oasis itself.
[04:06] ---
    Is there an artifact of
    some sort inside the oasis?
[04:10] ---
    We do use certain artifacts
    for security and management,
[04:14] ---
    but those are placed outside the oasis.
[04:16] ---
    Then I wonder what that is?
[04:29] ---
    W-What?!
[04:30] ---
    Dammit, it's faster than it seems.
[04:40] ---
    Wait, wait, wait! Mr. Hajime,
    what are you doing?!
[04:43] ---
    How stubborn. Here comes 50 more--
[04:46] ---
    No, I won't let you!
[05:07] ---
    What is that...?
[05:13] ---
    What is that monster? Is it a bachulum?
[05:17] ---
    I don't care what it is. It's got
    to be the cause of the pollution.
[05:20] ---
    It probably has some sort
    of poisonous special magic.
[05:24] ---
    That's a fair assumption.
    But can you take it down?
[05:30] ---
    Yeah, no problem.
[05:52] ---
    Is it over?
[05:54] ---
    I don't detect any more mana in the oasis.
[05:57] ---
    I don't know if eliminating the source
    immediately removed the pollution, though.
[06:03] ---
    How is it?
[06:04] ---
    It's still polluted.
[06:07] ---
    Don't be so down.
[06:10] ---
    Fresh water flows out abundantly.
[06:13] ---
    The oasis will return to
    its former glory soon enough.
[06:17] ---
    Yes, Tio is right.
[06:19] ---
    But what was that monster?
[06:23] ---
    Did a new species stumble in
    from the groundwater veins?
[06:27] ---
    My guess is, the Demons did it.
[06:29] ---
    The Demons?! I'm assuming you
    have some reason to believe this?
[06:34] ---
    Yeah.
[06:37] ---
    We are doing our own
    research as well, but...
[06:40] ---
    ...we never thought they
    could control monsters like that.
[06:43] ---
    We underestimated them.
[06:45] ---
    I thank you, as a representative
    of my nation and my people.
[06:48] ---
    You are the savior of our nation.
[06:51] ---
    Yes, do be very thankful.
[06:53] ---
    Don't you ever forget what
    a giant debt you owe me.
[06:59] ---
    Please keep it together...
[07:01] ---
    Here we go! Here we go!
[07:05] ---
    Listen up, everyone!
[07:09] ---
    Hajime-kun!
[07:10] ---
    Hajime-san!
[07:11] ---
    The source of the pollution
    of the oasis has been removed!
[07:14] ---
    It will take some time,
    but our oasis is coming back!
[07:19] ---
    In addition, we have a supply of water!
[07:22] ---
    It is enough to last
    us until help arrives!
[07:26] ---
    Also, these gold-ranked
    adventurers have accepted the quest
[07:29] ---
    of going to the Grand Gruen Volcano
    to mine Stillstone!
[07:34] ---
    It'll only be a few more days!
[07:36] ---
    Raise your spirits, let us
    overcome this hardship together!
[07:45] ---
    I'll stay behind and
    look after the patients.
[07:48] ---
    Please find the Stillstone.
    Sorry for all the trouble.
[07:50] ---
    Well, it's along the way.
[07:52] ---
    I'll look after Myu-chan.
[07:55] ---
    Thanks, I'm counting on you.
[08:00] ---
    --What is it?
    --I'll do my best,
[08:02] ---
    so please come back safely.
[08:05] ---
    I'll be waiting for you.
[08:06] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[08:14] ---
    Papa.
[08:15] ---
    Are you going to kiss Big Sister Kaori,
    like you kissed Big Sister Yue?
[08:22] ---
    You did?
[08:23] ---
    Oh, you saw?
[08:25] ---
    I want to kiss Papa, too!
[08:27] ---
    Myu, you'll have to wait
    until you grow up a little.
[08:30] ---
    Why?
[08:32] ---
    What is this? Hmm?
[08:34] ---
    You went to work, right?
    Why would you be kissing Yue?
[08:39] ---
    How did that happen?
    How was that important?
[08:43] ---
    Were you having fun?
    Did you forget about me?
[08:48] ---
    It was delicious.
[08:54] ---
    M-Myu, I'm leaving. Be a good girl.
[08:58] ---
    Yes!
[09:41] ---
    So hot.
[09:43] ---
    I'm becoming a cooked rabbit!
[09:46] ---
    Hmm, this is actually comfortable for me.
[09:50] ---
    It's too bad that
    I can't writhe in the heat.
[09:54] ---
    I'll dunk you in some lava later.
[10:04] ---
    This must be the entrance.
[10:06] ---
    Let's go.
[10:08] ---
    Yes!
[10:09] ---
    Right!
[10:20] ---
    What is this place?
[10:22] ---
    Hmm? Is that Stillstone?
[10:26] ---
    Yes, it certainly is, Master.
[10:29] ---
    It's tiny.
[10:31] ---
    Just pebbles, unfortunately.
[10:34] ---
    I guess this area has
    been mined out already.
[10:37] ---
    I'll have to go deeper than anyone
    has ever been to mine a lot of this.
[10:59] ---
    This is the farthest anyone has gone
    and survived. Stay sharp.
[11:08] ---
    Spatial Severance.
[11:22] ---
    You want some?
[11:40] ---
    Hajime-san, let me handle this.
[11:44] ---
    Oh, you want to try the new thing?
[11:49] ---
    Here I go!
[11:52] ---
    I'm coming to get you!
[12:06] ---
    Hajime-san, this new feature is
    actually so powerful that it scares me.
[12:10] ---
    Seems so. The conversion
    of mana into kinetic energy...
[12:14] ---
    I was wondering how effective
    that would be, but yeah.
[12:21] ---
    Impressive.
[12:24] ---
    Who would have imagined such a place.
[12:26] ---
    With this much Stillstone,
    the people of Ankaji can be saved!
[12:31] ---
    Yeah... Now we just have
    to conquer this great labyrinth.
[12:47] ---
    It's so hot...
[12:50] ---
    Shea, it's only hot
    because you think it is.
[12:54] ---
    That's all just water flowing around.
[12:56] ---
    Look, so cool...
[13:00] ---
    Master! Yue is losing it!
[13:03] ---
    Good for you, you seem fine.
[13:06] ---
    I guess we should take a break...
[13:17] ---
    Yue, make a block of ice.
    This heat is breaking our brains.
[13:22] ---
    Got it.
[13:30] ---
    Oh, that's cool. I feel alive again.
[13:37] ---
    You can go ahead and relax,
    but don't forget to wipe off your sweat.
[13:41] ---
    If you get too cold it could
    affect your movement.
[13:43] ---
    Understood.
[13:46] ---
    Master, you seem relaxed.
[13:48] ---
    Not as much as you.
[13:50] ---
    This heat is really bad. I should have
    prepared some air conditioning artifacts.
[13:56] ---
    Hmm, if this has an effect on you, Master,
[14:00] ---
    perhaps it's the concept
    of this labyrinth.
[14:03] ---
    Concept?
[14:05] ---
    Yes. The Great Labyrinths are designed to
    test those who seek to fight God, correct?
[14:09] ---
    Then I thought, perhaps
    they all have a testing concept.
[14:14] ---
    For example, the Great Orcus Labyrinth
[14:16] ---
    is designed to make you fight various
    monsters and gain experience.
[14:23] ---
    The Great Reisen Labyrinth tested your
    ability to respond to all types of attacks
[14:27] ---
    without the help of mana, a great power.
[14:32] ---
    The Grand Gruen Volcano might be a test
[14:35] ---
    to see if you can maintain
    focus in this heat,
[14:39] ---
    and respond to ambushes
    and surprise attacks.
[14:41] ---
    I see. I never thought about that,
[14:44] ---
    but perhaps the tests themselves
    are teachings of the Liberators.
[15:03] ---
    Wipe me down, Hajime.
[15:14] ---
    This reminds me of
    an amusement park ride...
[15:23] ---
    Hajime-san, another tunnel.
[15:25] ---
    Altitude-wise,
    we're right around the base.
[15:28] ---
    There could be something here.
[15:30] ---
    Yeah...
[15:39] ---
    Hold on!
[15:51] ---
    Updraft.
[16:09] ---
    Looks like gems are embedded in the walls.
[16:11] ---
    Counting the ones I can't see from here,
    looks like... a hundred gems total?
[16:16] ---
    Is that the Liberator's hideout?
[16:18] ---
    Given the depth, that sounds
    reasonable. But in that case...
[16:24] ---
    The final guardian should be here, right?
[16:27] ---
    We went down the lava river as a shortcut.
[16:31] ---
    Could we have skipped past
    the guardian, maybe?
[16:39] ---
    I've got this!
[16:57] ---
    Spatial Severance.
[17:02] ---
    Yue, I'll go check out that island.
    Cover me.
[17:05] ---
    Yes.
[17:15] ---
    Mana crystals?
[17:27] ---
    How many of them are there? What a bother.
[17:30] ---
    Hajime, you okay?
[17:31] ---
    Yeah, no problem.
    Looks like this is the real deal.
[17:45] ---
    It seems like that island is the goal.
[17:48] ---
    It's like they're saying
    "defeat us if you want to get through."
[17:52] ---
    But didn't they just regenerate?
    Can we take them down?
[17:57] ---
    I think it's like that bachulum-type
    monster we fought in Ankaji.
[18:02] ---
    Yes. There should be a core,
[18:04] ---
    a mana crystal, somewhere in
    their body that's shaping the lava.
[18:08] ---
    There's too much lava in the way,
[18:10] ---
    not even my demon eye
    can pinpoint the location.
[18:14] ---
    We have to destroy it.
[18:24] ---
    This one isn't just some normal bullet.
[18:33] ---
    Not on my watch.
[18:37] ---
    I see, that's how you beat that thing.
[18:41] ---
    Well then, let's join in.
[18:46] ---
    Dark Sphere.
[18:51] ---
    There!
[19:24] ---
    What's going on?
[19:26] ---
    I've confirmed that the
    mana crystals were shattered.
[19:29] ---
    Isn't defeating those ten snakes the goal?
[19:32] ---
    Hajime-san!
[19:33] ---
    Aren't those gems over there broken?
[19:50] ---
    That makes eleven broken gems.
[19:53] ---
    The same as the number
    of snakes we destroyed.
[19:58] ---
    I see. So, we have to beat
    a hundred snakes...
[20:02] ---
    Equal to the number of gems on the wall.
[20:06] ---
    Killing a hundred of
    those things, in this heat.
[20:09] ---
    Fits the concept of this labyrinth.
[20:12] ---
    In that case, there's only
    one thing we have to do!
[20:20] ---
    It's been a while since the
    last time I launched this! Enjoy!
[20:28] ---
    Looks like I have the lead!
[20:30] ---
    Master, if I get the most kills,
    I desire a reward!
[20:36] ---
    Not fair, Tio-san! I want in on that!
[20:50] ---
    What are they talking about?
[20:52] ---
    In that case...
[20:53] ---
    I want a date, just the two of us.
[20:57] ---
    Lightning Wyrm!
[21:03] ---
    Yue is the biggest rival!
[21:05] ---
    Yue is bugged!
    There's something wrong with her!
[21:18] ---
    There aren't any more appearing,
    seems like these five are the last ones.
[21:24] ---
    I'll take two!
[21:26] ---
    Grand Gruen Volcano, conquest complete!
[21:35] ---
    The end!
[21:56] ---
    Hajime!
[23:35] ---
