    The continent of Summerforth.
[00:02] Narrator
    This land was once controlled
    by seven kingdoms:
[00:06] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Rofeille,
[00:08] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Ansel,
[00:09] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Paradille,
[00:10] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Canshiep,
[00:12] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Sheutz,
[00:13] Narrator
    the Kingdom of Seitz,
[00:15] Narrator
    and the Kingdom of Missian.
[00:17] Narrator
    Over time, Ansel absorbed the other six
[00:20] Narrator
    and changed its name to
    the Summerforth Empire.

[00:33] Ars
    Kreiz, Wren. Come here.
[00:40] Ars
    Say goodbye to our father.
[00:44] Ars
    He taught me so many things.
[00:47] Ars
    He was an incredible man.
[00:57] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[01:03] Ars
    As of today, I am the master of House Louvent!

    Legend of Nobunaga
[01:33] Sofia
    Good morning.
[01:34] Ars
    I hear something... What is it?
[01:37] Sofia
    Oh, you silly little boy.
[01:39] Ars
    Who's that?
[01:40] Sofia
    I'm surprised that man's son
    could have such a gentle face.
[01:43] Ars
    Am I... in the hospital?
[01:45] Ars
    Is this lady a nurse?
[01:48] Ars
    Looks like a pretty old hospital...
[01:53] Ars
    A flying dog?!
[01:55] Sofia
    Oh, my.
[01:56] Sofia
    I think he likes you, too.
[01:59] Alice
    I've set your tea over there, milady.
[02:01] Sofia
    Thank you.
[02:04] Alice
    Your son is truly adorable.
[02:07] Sofia
    You think so?
[02:07] Ars
    Wait, what?
[02:09] Ars
    Is that... me?

    Year 200 of the Summerforth Calendar
[02:11] Narrator
    In the 200th year of the
    Summerforth Calendar,
[02:13] Narrator
    Ars Louvent was born in Lamberg
    in the province of Missian.

    Ars Louvent, Age 3
[03:59] Ars
    Thank you so much!
[04:02] Ars
    It turns out I died and was reincarnated
    as someone named Ars Louvent.
[04:07] Ars
    I've since mastered reading and writing,
[04:09] Ars
    and I've become fairly knowledgeable
    about this new world.
[04:13] Ars
    I was born in the Summerforth Empire,
    which rules the continent of Summerforth.
[04:19] Ars
    I'd never seen a world map like this,
    so wherever I am now, I figure it's not Earth.
[04:24] Ars
    There's also a technique known as "magic"
    that lets you conjure mysterious phenomena.
[04:29] Ars
    It's like the world of a video game!
[04:31] Ars
    The Louvent family I was born
    into is a noble household.
[04:36] Ars
    We manage a small region of a few
    thousand people, called Lamberg.
[04:41] Ars
    Our house is so big and pretty
    that I thought it was a castle!
[04:45] Ars
    We've got lots of servants
    who always look after us.
[04:49] Ars
    We also have a live-in chef who cooks
    delicious food for us every day.
[04:53] Ars
    Getting reincarnated was great!
[04:56] Ars
    I also learned one other thing.
[04:59] Ars
    I appear to have a power
    that nobody else does.
[05:07] Ars
    Hello, everyone!
[05:08] Ars
    Is it all right if I watch from here?
[05:11] Gullar
    That's fine.
[05:12] Ben
    The young master sure comes here often, eh?
[05:14] Charlie
    And he's only three!
    He'll be a real hellraiser someday.
[05:18] Soldier E
    Hey, get it right!
[05:20] Millais
    Darn it... One more try!
[05:24] Ars
    The ability I have that no one else does...
[05:27] Ars
    It's called...

[05:37] Ars
    That means he'd be good with bows!
[05:45] Ars
    E-Excuse me, Millais?
[05:47] Millais
    Yes, young master?
[05:48] Millais
    And wait... you know my name?
[05:51] Ars
    Um, have you ever used a bow?
[05:54] Millais
    A bow?
[05:55] Millais
    I wouldn't be caught dead
    with a weapon like that.
[05:58] Millais
    A real man doesn't shoot at his
    enemies from a safe distance!
[06:02] Ars
    All right, but...
[06:04] Ars
    I think you'd handle a bow really well.
[06:08] Ars
    Would you be willing to try?
[06:10] Millais
    Huh?
[06:10] Millais
    But...
[06:12] Soldier E
    The young master's asking.
[06:14] Soldier E
    Give it a try.
[06:16] Millais
    I've never even shot a bow before, though.
[06:18] Freddie
    Millais, you should move closer
    if this is your first time.
[06:22] Ars
    No, please try it from right there.
[06:34] Freddie
    That was luck! Just dumb luck!
[06:36] Soldier G
    Hey, Millais, try that again.
[06:39] Millais
    S-Sure.
[06:44] Gullar
    You should be an archer, son!
[06:47] Gullar
    You stink with a spear anyway!
[06:49] Ben
    You're a natural, man!
[06:51] Millais
    I-I guess using a bow wouldn't be so bad!
[06:54] Millais
    All's fair in war, after all!
[06:56] Charlie
    But young master, how did you know
    Millais would have talent with a bow?
[07:01] Ars
    U-Um, well...
[07:06] Ars
    It was instinct!
[07:07] Charlie
    Instinct, huh?
[07:08] Soldier H
    That's really something!
[07:10] Ars
    If I said, "I can see numerical values
    representing his abilities and aptitudes,"
[07:15] Ars
    I doubt they'd believe me.
[07:17] Ars
    But this ability is definitely for real.
[07:21] Ars
    Thing is, I just can't use it
    on myself for some reason.
[07:25] Ars
    Which is kind of a shame,
    though I'm also afraid of what I'd see.
[07:31] Ars
    Another delicious-looking dinner!
[07:34] Raven
    Ars.
[07:34] Ars
    Y-Yes?
[07:36] Raven
    I'm told you discovered
     Millais's talent for archery.
[07:40] Ars
    Yes, Father...
[07:42] Ars
    This is my father in this world.
[07:45] Ars
    He always looks a little angry,
    so he honestly kind of scares me.

[08:04] Ars
    Yes, Father?!
[08:06] Raven
    I want you to hone that instinct of yours.
[08:09] Raven
    You'll be the lord of this land someday.
[08:11] Raven
    The ability to discern the gifts of others
    is an important talent for a lord.
[08:17] Ars
    Y-Yes, sir!
[08:19] Ars
    That's right.
    I'll be lord of this land one day.
[08:23] Raven
    Have mine, too.
[08:25] Raven
    I want you growing up fast.
[08:26] Sofia
    Here.
[08:27] Ars
    Yes, sir! I'll try!
[08:30] Ars
    Ever since that day, I've studied
    more and more about the empire.
[08:35] Ars
    And I realized something in the process.
[08:38] Ars
    The future ahead of me is not a bright one.
[08:42] Ars
    The rulers of the Summerforth
    Empire are corrupt,
[08:45] Ars
    and peasant revolts are erupting all over.
[08:49] Ars
    Various nobles are focusing on
    autonomy to quell the revolts,
[08:53] Ars
    but the nation remains in chaos.
[08:55] Ars
    If nothing changes, I fear the empire
    will fall, leading to widespread war.
[09:01] Ars
    If that happens, as lord,
    I'll have to lead our forces into battle.
[09:06] Ars
    Me... going to war?
[09:12] Ars
    Can someone like me... really
    keep the people of Lamberg safe?
[09:20] Ars
    They've all been so kind to me.
[09:23] Ars
    I want to protect them so badly!
[09:26] Raven
    The ability to discern the gifts of others
    is an important talent for a lord.
[09:45] Villager A
    Oh, Lord Ars!
[09:47] Villager A
    It's rare to see you in town all by yourself.
[09:51] Villager A

[10:20] Villager B
    I've got nothing to sell to the likes of you!
[10:27] Ars
    He doesn't look like the folks around here.
[10:30] Ars
    Who is he?
[10:31] Kid
    Hey, it's a Malkan!
[10:32] Villager C
    Don't get close.
[10:34] Villager D
    He's filthy.
[10:35] Villager D
    What's a Malkan doing here?
[10:38] Ars
    A Malkan.
[10:39] Ars
    They're a group of people who came
    to Summerforth from across the sea.
[10:44] Ars
    Most of them were brought as slaves...
[10:52] Ars
    Here.
[10:55] Ars

[12:15] Rietz

[12:17] Ars
    Yes!
[12:18] Ars
    I want to use Appraisal to

[12:23] Rietz
    Like... for pretend?
[12:25] Ars
    N-No!
[12:27] Ars
    I'm Ars Louvent.
[12:29] Ars
    I'm the son of the lord of this village.
[12:32] Ars
    Look! This is the Louvent family crest!
[12:35] Rietz
    The lord's son?
[12:36] Ars
    I can sense great talent in you!
[12:38] Ars
    I want you to become my retainer!
[12:41] Rietz
    You sense talent?
[12:42] Rietz
    But we only just met.
[12:44] Rietz
    How could you possibly sense that?
[12:46] Ars
    I just... know certain things!
[12:49] Rietz
    I'm grateful for your kindness.
    I don't want to cause you any trouble now.
[12:54] Rietz
    People wouldn't think well of you
    for taking in a Malkan like me.
[12:58] Ars
    D-Don't worry about that!
[12:59] Ars
    I'll figure something out!
[13:02] Rietz
    Sorry, no.
[13:03] Rietz
    But thanks for the bread.
[13:04] Ars
    H-Hey...
[13:06] Ars
    I might never meet anyone
    with such incredible stats again!
[13:11] Ars
    I can't let him leave!
[13:15] Ars
    Y-You need more than just bread, right?
[13:18] Ars
    Our family has an amazing chef who'll make
    you all the delicious food you can eat!
[13:23] Ars
    Steak, beef stew, meat pies, rolls!
[13:26] Ars
    We've got wine and cake, too!
[13:31] Rietz
    You really are the son of the local lord...
[13:36] Ars
    Go on! Eat all you—
[13:41] Alice
    I'm terribly sorry.
[13:43] Alice
    We simply can't serve you
    the same fare as Lord Ars.
[13:48] Krantz
    You've only been allowed into our
    home at Lord Ars's request.
[13:51] Krantz
    We ask that you leave immediately
    after you finish your meal.
[13:56] Ars
    The prejudice against Malkans runs deep.
[13:59] Ars
    I doubt I'll be able to talk them out of it.
[14:10] Ars
    Let's eat together!
[14:12] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[14:13] Alice
    Y-Young master!
[14:15] Ars
    This man is my honored guest!
[14:19] Alice
    Forgive us. We'll serve him the same fare.
[14:29] Ars
    What were you doing in that village, Rietz?
[14:33] Rietz
    I used to be part of a band of mercenaries.
[14:36] Rietz
    Lots of my comrades died in battle,
[14:39] Rietz
    and the group disbanded.
[14:41] Rietz
    I've been wandering aimlessly since,
     and then I wound up here.
[14:46] Ars
    You didn't join another mercenary group?
[14:49] Rietz
    I can't.
[14:50] Rietz
    No one will hire a child with no
    accomplishments to his name.
[14:54] Rietz
    I'd been with my previous
    group since I was little.
[14:59] Ars
    That must have been so hard...
[15:02] Krantz
    Lord Ars, shouldn't you be
    seeing your guest off soon?
[15:06] Ars
    I can't do that!
[15:08] Ars
    I brought this man here
    to make him my retainer.
[15:11] Krantz
    What?! O-Out of the question!
[15:14] Krantz
    Think of what Lord Raven would say!
[15:19] Raven
    I think I understand.
[15:22] Raven
    We're talking about this Malkan here, yes?
[15:30] Raven
    Unacceptable.
[15:31] Raven
    Taking a Malkan as a retainer
    is an outrageously foolish act.
[15:35] Raven
    Throw him out at once.
[15:36] Ars
    Rietz Muses has incredible talents.
[15:39] Ars
    We'll be missing out terribly if
    we don't make him a retainer!
[15:44] Raven
    Listen, Ars.
[15:45] Raven
    Malkans are overwhelmingly
    inferior to Summerforthians.
[15:51] Raven
    They cannot have "incredible talents."
[15:53] Ars
    Even Father believes the conventional
    wisdom about Malkans.
[15:58] Ars
    But...
[15:59] Ars
    I believe this man will be
    indispensable for Lamberg's future.
[16:04] Ars
    I don't know anything
    about Malkans as a whole,
[16:06] Ars
    but I'm positive that Rietz
    has god-given talents!
[16:11] Ars
    If you doubt me, why not
    test his abilities yourself?
[16:16] Raven
    What makes you so sure of his talent?
[16:19] Ars
    I just know certain things.
[16:21] Raven
    I'll admit you recognized
     Millais's talent for the bow.
[16:25] Ars
    Yes.
[16:26] Ars
    It's just like that.
[16:28] Ars
    My instinct is telling me that
    he has unprecedented talent.
[16:33] Raven
    If you insist, I'll test him.
[16:36] Raven
    If he proves talented,
    I'll employ him as a soldier.
[16:40] Ars
    Thank you, Father!
[16:42] Ars
    Even if he starts in the rank and file,
[16:44] Ars
    knowing Rietz, he'll quickly
    make a name for himself.
[16:46] Ars
    Then my father, who believes in meritocracy,
    will have to promote him!
[16:50] Raven
    The test will be simple.
[16:52] Raven
    He'll fight in a mock duel with me.
[16:55] Raven
    If he wins, he passes.
[16:58] Ars
    Um, but Father...
[17:00] Ars
    He's just fourteen years old.
[17:02] Ars
    And you're blessed with
    god-given skill in battle yourself.
[17:06] Ars
    I'm not sure he stands a chance against
    you under the current circumstances...
[17:13] Raven
    Did you not say he's talented?
[17:15] Ars
    He is...

[17:23] Raven
    I'll give him a handicap.
[17:25] Ars
    A handicap? This might work out, then.
[17:29] Ars
    Understood!
[17:30] Ars
    Do you agree to that, Rietz?
[17:33] Rietz
    Er... Y-Yes.
[17:36] Raven
    Let us proceed, then.
[17:41] Rietz
    Um, Lord Ars...
[17:44] Rietz
    Why are you fighting so hard
    to take a Malkan as a retainer?
[17:48] Rietz
    Is it pity?
[17:50] Ars
    Rietz...
[17:51] Ars
    Do you not want to be a
    retainer for House Louvent?
[17:54] Ars
    If you don't, I can tell my father
    to call this off right now...
[17:57] Rietz
    Not, that's not it.
[17:58] Rietz
    The offer to be your retainer makes me happy.
[18:01] Rietz
    It's the best offer I've ever had in my life.
[18:05] Rietz
    It just... feels sort of unbelievable, honestly.
[18:09] Rietz
    We Malkans are persecuted wherever we go.
[18:12] Ars
    I need you, Rietz!
[18:16] Ars
    I'm going to be lord of this land someday.
[18:19] Ars
    When that time comes, I want
    you by my side helping me!
[18:24] Rietz
    I'll do my best.
[18:28] Soldier H
    Who's that?
[18:30] Gullar
    Looks like a Malkan.
[18:32] Soldier I
    I hear the young master brought him here.

    Millais, practice swords.
[18:36] Raven
    Gratz, bring an hourglass.
[18:38] Millais
    Y-Yes, sir!
[18:41] Raven
    Take a sword.
[18:42] Rietz
    Y-Yes, sir!
[18:46] Raven
    If you can land one blow against me
    before time runs out, you'll win.
[18:52] Ars
    Father's Prowess stat is surely
    the highest in the land...
[18:57] Ars
    But if he only needs to land one blow,
    Rietz might just have a chance!
[19:01] Raven
    By the way, you haven't told me your name.
[19:05] Raven
    We're about to duel. Identify yourself.
[19:08] Rietz
    Rietz Muses.
[19:10] Raven
    I am Raven Louvent, master of House Louvent.
[19:14] Raven
    Show me what you can do.
[19:21] Rietz
    That strike...
[19:22] Rietz
    Even with a practice sword,
    it'd have cut me in two if it hit me!
[19:27] Rietz
    H-He's fast!
[19:29] Rietz
    He swung again so quickly
    after such a powerful attack...
[19:40] Ars
    It's no use! Father's too strong!
[19:43] Gullar
    Who the hell is that Malkan?
[19:45] Ben
    Even when the lord goes easy on us,
[19:47] Ben
    we can barely hold on to our swords,
    let alone land a blow on him.
[19:51] Charlie
    But that Malkan is actually keeping pace!
[19:55] Gullar
    And Lord Raven is going all-out, I believe.
[20:05] Ars
    Rietz!
[20:05] Gullar
    Still, not even he can land a blow
    on the land's greatest swordsman.
[20:13] Raven
    What's the matter? You have little time left.
[20:21] Ars
    I want you by my side helping me!
[20:28] Rietz
    At your insistence, then...
    I'll give it my best.
[20:33] Ars
    Rietz... His expression has changed.
[20:37] Raven
    I know just what you're trying!
[20:41] Raven
    Not bad at all, but—
[20:56] Raven
    It's over.
[21:02] Ben
    It grazed him?!
[21:05] Dawson
    That guy just landed a blow on Lord Raven!
[21:07] Soldier G
    Just who is that Malkan?!
[21:11] Raven
    You've won.
[21:12] Raven
    As promised, I'll employ you as a soldier.
[21:16] Ars
    Amazing! Rietz really is gifted!
[21:22] Ars
    Congratulations!
[21:23] Ars
    That was a magnificent fight!
[21:25] Ars
    Father, thank you!
[21:28] Raven
    You were right.
[21:30] Raven
    I sensed true talent in Rietz there.
[21:33] Raven
    He may become a top-class
    swordsman in the future.
[21:37] Raven
    Your ability to see people's
    talents is the real thing.
[21:40] Raven
    You might have some exceptional
     power of your own.
[21:45] Raven
    I was worried about how you'd fare
     in the chaotic age to come...
[21:49] Raven
    But you may yet become a great man.
[21:52] Ars
    Me? A great man?
[21:54] Raven
    You could become a powerful noble...
[21:56] Raven
    Or perhaps even the emperor himself.
[21:59] Ars
    The emperor?!
[22:02] Raven
    I'm joking.
[22:03] Raven
    The throne is too lofty a goal for
    the lord of such a small domain.
[22:07] Raven
    If you simply carry on the Louvent name
    for another generation, that's enough for me.
[22:12] Soldier H
    Hey, you were pretty awesome!
[22:13] Dawson
    Where did you learn how to fence?
[22:14] Gratz
    Would you have a mock duel with me, too?
[22:16] Gratz
    I wanna know just how strong you are!
[22:17] Rietz
    Uh...
[22:18] Soldier I
    Me, too!
[22:22] Ars
    Rietz! How are you doing?
[22:27] Rietz
    I don't look strange?
[22:29] Rietz
    I've never worn anything like this before.
[22:31] Ars
    No, it looks great on you!
[22:34] Ars
    Really!
[22:35] Ars
    Rietz, I heard you were taking
    on servant duties, as well.
[22:40] Rietz
    I want to help as much as I can.
[22:43] Ars
    You don't have to go that far!
[22:46] Ars
    We're only a very small domain.
[22:49] Rietz
    Still... having a liege to
    serve is like a dream to me.
[22:57] Rietz
    If not for you, Lord Ars,
    I'd likely have died on the streets.
[23:03] Rietz
    I truly can't thank you enough.
[23:08] Rietz
    I will spend the rest of my
    life repaying this debt to you.
[23:15] Ars
    Okay!
[23:17] Ars
    Let's do great work together!
[23:19] Ars
    And so my quest to build
    the strongest domain began.
[23:25] Ars
    Rietz, if we want to protect Lamberg,
    we'll need more talented people!
[23:29] Rietz
    Yes, it would be best to have
    someone with magical talent...
[23:32] Ars
    Magic?!
[23:33] Ars
    Fantasy!
[23:34] Ars
    Yes!
[23:35] Rietz
    L-Lord Ars?
[23:36] Ars
    Next time: "Above and Below."
[23:36] Ars
    Next Time
    Above and Below
