[00:05] Ars     H-Her stats are incredible. [00:09] sign     Leadership 93/98 [00:10] Ars     Her Leadership and Prowess are both high. [00:11] sign     Prowess 70/72 [00:13] sign     Ingenuity 102/103 [00:13] Ars     Her Ingenuity is greater than Rosell's! [00:16] sign     Ambition 100 [00:16] Ars     And an Ambition of 100?! [00:19] Ars     Even Licia's is only 80! [00:22] Ars     This woman... [00:24] Ars     Sh-She's a monster! [00:28] sign     As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,          I'll Use My Appraisal Skill      to Rise in the World [01:49] sign     As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,          I'll Use My Appraisal Skill      to Rise in the World [02:01] Mireille     Well? Gonna hire me? [02:03] sign     Episode 11 Mireille Grangeon [02:03] Ars     Um... You're Mireille Grangeon, right? [02:07] Mireille     Wow, you've heard of me? [02:09] Rietz     Mireille Grangeon? It can't be... [02:12] Pham     Yeah. [02:13] Pham     The name of the former advisor to the late     governor of Missian, Amador Salamakhia. [02:20] Mireille     Yeah, that's right!     I lived with that old guy. [02:23] Charlotte     Wow, she seems awesome. [02:26] Ars     Advisor to the late governor of Missian? [02:28] Ars     What's someone that important doing here? [02:34] Ars     Rosell? What's the matter? [02:36] Rietz     Lord Ars. [02:38] Rietz     You must not hire this woman. [02:41] Rietz     Her name is infamous. [02:43] Rietz     Though she was once served the late governor, [02:47] Rietz     they say she was driven from the castle. [02:50] Mireille     Oh, yeah? Is that what they say about me? [02:54] Rietz     Most importantly, she has a younger brother... [02:57] Rietz     Thomas Grangeon, right hand     to our enemy, Lord Vasmarque. [03:04] Rietz     He's said to be a great general,      with skills that surpass his elder sister's. [03:09] Rietz     Mireille, his own flesh and blood,     might well be passing information to him. [03:14] Ars     S-So she might be a spy? [03:17] Mireille     What, give his stupid ass intel? [03:19] Mireille     No way! We don't get along at all. [03:22] Mireille     So, wait, my brother's with that dude now? [03:25] Rietz     That's enough out of you. [03:27] Mireille     Ooh, scary guy. [03:30] Mireille     Hey, Lynn. I'm not really     feeling a warm welcome here. [03:34] Mireille     I dunno if these guys are gonna hire me. [03:38] Pham     What'll it be? [03:44] Rietz     Lord Ars. [03:45] Rietz     I'm sorry, but please turn her away. [03:47] Rosell     Yes. [03:48] Ars     All right. [03:50] Ars     I'll hire you! [03:53] Rietz     L-Lord Ars? [03:55] Rietz     Did you just say you would hire her? [03:57] Rosell     It's far too dangerous! [03:59] Ars     Nevertheless, she has genuine skill! [04:02] Ars     I guarantee it! [04:06] Ars     Like with Licia, I don't know exactly     what her Ambition stat represents. [04:11] Ars     I can't be sure it means     she's likely to betray. [04:15] Ars     And as for her other stats... [04:17] Ars     Having her on our side is worth the risk! [04:20] Ars     She's just that talented! [04:22] Mireille     Aw, I'm not that good. [04:24] Mireille     Shucks, I'm blushin' here. [04:27] Ars     We need good people right now. [04:30] Ars     Please! [04:32] Charlotte     You heard him. [04:33] Rietz     If Lord Ars insists... [04:38] Ars     Thank you, everyone! [04:39] Mireille     Does that mean I got the job? [04:44] Mireille     Pleasure to work with ya! [04:49] Rietz     Lord Ars! Lord Ars! [04:52] Rietz     I can't take this any longer! [04:56] Rietz     I realize that my saying so is     the height of impropriety... [05:00] Rietz     But I do not believe Mireille     is fit to be your retainer. [05:04] Rietz     I caught her neglecting her duties     to sleep the day away yet again! [05:08] Rietz     There are multiple complaints     from the training hall [05:11] Rietz     that she has no interest     in giving instructions! [05:14] Rietz     And when I advised her to straighten up... [05:17] (Flashback) Mireille     Sometimes you just don't feel like it! [05:19] Rietz     She had the nerve to say that to me! [05:23] Rietz     She's a blemish on House Louvent     in absolutely every respect! [05:27] Ars     Not this again... [05:30] Rosell     I don't want Mireille tutoring me anymore! [05:34] Ars     What now?! [05:36] Rosell     She said something like, "No more books,"     then took me outside and made me run! [05:41] (Flashback) Rosell     Is there any point to this?! [05:44] (Flashback) Mireille     That's for you to figure out! [05:47] Rosell     What is that even supposed to mean?! [05:50] Rosell     I think she's just picking on me! [05:52] Rosell     I'm no good at running! [05:55] Rosell     What does a strategist even need to run for?! [05:59] Rosell     I'm exhausted! [06:00] Ars     I-I'm sure there's a method to her     madness, but I'll talk to her just in— [06:07] Ars     Wh-What's that sound?! [06:09] Gatos     What was that? [06:10] Marcus     Are we under attack?! [06:12] Millais     Prepare for combat! [06:15] Mireille     Say, you've got a real talent for magic! [06:19] Mireille     Color me surprised. [06:20] Charlotte     When I really let loose, I can do way better. [06:23] Mireille     Wow, I wanna see! [06:25] Ars     Hold it right there. What are you two doing? [06:28] Charlotte     Big Sis Mireille said she wanted     to see my spells, so I cast one. [06:32] Ars     Could you at least try to restrain yourself?! [06:35] Mireille     Aw, it's no fun if she holds back. [06:38] Ars     Then at least warn us     before you start casting! [06:41] Mireille     Yeah, shoulda done that. My bad. [06:45] Ars     I'm just glad it wasn't an enemy attack. [06:48] Ars     Honestly, please be more careful— [06:53] Gullar     You're not taking this seriously enough. [06:55] Gullar     Can't you try to straighten up? [06:58] Alice     You're making more work for us!      We can't take it! [07:00] Maids     That's right! [07:02] Mireille     Huh? I'm just doing what comes natural. [07:06] Mireille     I mean, it's kinda hard to change     once you reach a certain age... [07:11] Mireille     What do you think, kiddo? [07:12] Ars     U-Um... [07:16] Ars     I-I want us all to work together! [07:19] Ars     If this keeps up,     I might have to do something! [07:22] Mireille     Aw, really? That's tough. [07:26] Mireille     I really don't wanna leave this place... [07:28] Ars     She doesn't want to leave? [07:30] Ars     Despite the hostile environment     with all the complaints? [07:35] Ars     Why not? [07:37] Mireille     No one's taken me in with as much     gusto as you did since the old guy. [07:46] Mireille     I mean, there's lots more to it, [07:48] Mireille     but I guess I gotta prove myself      if I wanna stay here. [07:54] Mireille     So, how's about a mock battle? [07:57] Mireille     It's kinda hard for me to show     my stuff outside a proper fight. [08:02] Mireille     If I impress you in a mock battle,     I want your stamp of approval as a retainer. [08:05] Ars     This is all a bit sudden... [08:08] Rietz     I like it. [08:10] Ars     No, please, Rietz... [08:12] Rietz     Let's see what a one-time advisor to     the governor of Missian has to offer. [08:22] Ars     Wh-What should I do?     This is really getting out of hand! [08:29] Ars     Well... [08:32] Ars     Why are you here again, Licia? [08:35] Licia     Your most recent letter said you     were going to hold a mock battle, [08:39] Licia     so I dropped by to cheer you on! [08:42] Ars     Y-You just "dropped by"? [08:44] Mireille     Hey, so you're the legendary fiancée? [08:47] Mireille     I've heard tons about you. [08:50] Licia     Oh, and Lord Ars has told me     all about you in his letters! [08:55] Licia     "A strategist who eats our food and     does no work in exchange," I believe. [08:58] Mireille     Aw, Ars, that's mean! [09:01] Ars     I didn't say that! I didn't! [09:03] Ars     Though I did say I was struggling with     all the complaints from everyone... [09:07] Mireille     'Course not! [09:09] Mireille     You're the only one who     really wanted me here. [09:12] Mireille     How's about we get married? [09:14] Ars     N-No, Mireille, please! You're drunk! [09:21] Ars     What was that noise she just made?! [09:23] Rosell     L-Lord Ars, we should probably get started. [09:25] Ars     I-I will now explain the rules! [09:30] Ars     The mock battle will be held     between two teams of fifty each. [09:35] Ars     The location will be a region     of the eastern forest. [09:38] Ars     It will last until sunset. [09:40] Ars     Whichever side "slays" more soldiers wins. [09:44] Ars     That said, taking out the enemy general [09:47] Ars     or wiping out the entire unit     will mean instant victory. [09:51] Ars     We'll be using blunt wooden     swords for our weapons. [09:55] Ars     You're "slain" if struck in the head or chest,      so kindly retire from the game after that. [10:01] Ars     That should cover it. Any questions? [10:04] Charlotte     Can we use magic? [10:06] Ars     Flame spells are not allowed. [10:09] Ars     That would end the battle instantly. [10:11] Charlotte     Aw, then what'm I supposed to do? [10:14] Ars     Instead, I'm handing out a few vials     of aqua magia for you to make use of. [10:20] Charlotte     Sound-type and light-type aqua magia, huh? [10:25] Rosell     These are safer, since you can't attack     people directly with them, but... [10:32] Rosell     Don't just go and use them! [10:34] Charlotte     I didn't. I just held it a little     too tight, and it went off. [10:40] Ars     Now, how shall we divide the teams? [10:43] Ars     I want to see what Mireille can do,     so I'd prefer to be on her side, but... [10:53] Ars     Why are the rest of you siding with him?! [10:55] Rietz     The outcome was inevitable. [10:57] Rosell     Uh-huh! [10:58] Licia     One must drive out an unwanted presence! [11:02] Licia     Correct? [11:02] Rietz/Rosell     Uh-huh! [11:03] Charlotte     I wanna try going up against Big Sis! [11:06] Eis     If Lord Ars loses, Mireille gets fired. [11:10] Eis     So you newbies can join his team. [11:13] New Soldier     That's not fair! [11:14] Veteran Soldier     Shut up! [11:16] Ars     Hang on... [11:17] Ars     Mireille, please, say something. [11:20] Mireille     Eh, sounds fine to me. [11:22] Ars     You're drinking again! [11:24] Ars     Where did you even get that?! [11:26] Eis     Sheesh. Is she even taking this seriously? [11:30] Mireille     Can I get me a refill? [11:33] Ars     The point of this mock battle was     to get everyone to accept her... [11:36] Ars     But I think she's just driving     an even bigger wedge! [11:40] Ars     Well, let's take our positions. [11:42] Mireille     'Kay! [11:45] sign     As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,          I'll Use My Appraisal Skill      to Rise in the World [11:50] sign     As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,          I'll Use My Appraisal Skill      to Rise in the World [11:56] Wren     One, two... [11:57] Wren/Kreiz     Do your best! [11:59] sign     Rietz's Team [12:03] Charlotte     Gotta say, these teams are super unbalanced. [12:05] Charlotte     You sure this is okay? [12:07] Rietz     The strength of House Louvent is its unity. [12:10] Rietz     We're better off without a     disruptive force like her. [12:13] Soldiers     Uh-huh! [12:14] Charlotte     You think so? [12:16] Charlotte     I think Big Sis Mireille is     pretty awesome, personally. [12:22] sign     General Rosell [12:22] Rosell     Charlotte and Licia are     domineering enough as it is... [12:27] Rosell     If Mireille joins them, our female     faction is gonna be way too scary! [12:34] Rosell     Rietz! Let's do our best! [12:37] sign     Mireille's Team [12:39] sign     General Ars [12:40] Ars     All right, everyone! Let's give this our all! [12:43] Mireille     Sure! [12:47] Ars     Do you really think we'll be okay? [12:49] Ars     The other team has Rietz... [12:51] Mireille     Oh, that kid? [12:54] Mireille     I saw him in training.     That Rietz kid is a real monster! [12:58] Mireille     Gotta wonder what he's doing     out here in the sticks. [13:01] Mireille     Oh, and Charlotte's really     something else, too. [13:05] Mireille     I bet she could take out     a whole squad in a second. [13:08] Mireille     How'd you score talent like them? [13:11] Ars     I just asked them to become my retainers. [13:14] Mireille     Oh? Nice work! [13:18] Ars     Anyway, we're at quite a disadvantage     against them, aren't we? [13:24] Mireille     And we've got a team full of greenhorns. [13:28] Mireille     There's no way we'd win     under normal circumstances. [13:33] New Soldier A     You didn't have to come out and say it! [13:35] New Soldier B     We know we're at a disadvantage! [13:37] New Soldier C     We're doing our best! [13:39] New Soldiers     Yeah! Yeah! [13:41] Mireille     Aw, sorry. [13:43] Mireille     It's just the truth, though, you know? [13:48] Ars     Mireille. [13:49] Ars     You shouldn't talk like that. [13:52] Ars     It's true that we have our weaknesses... [13:55] Mireille     Oh, yeah, we got nothing but weaknesses. [13:58] Mireille     But we're also gonna win. [14:01] Mireille     We can't change our army,     but we've got infinite strategy. [14:06] Mireille     We're up against a strong opponent     and have no sense of teamwork. [14:10] Mireille     At a glance, everything's against us, but... [14:13] Mireille     In another sense,     we've been dealt a lucky hand. [14:18] Mireille     I don't care that you guys hate me. [14:20] Mireille     It's not a strategist's job be loved,     but to get you that win. [14:30] Wren     It's starting! [14:32] Licia     It appears Lord Ars's army      has signaled combat first. [14:39] Rietz     Is it all set up? [14:40] Rosell     Just as you asked. [14:42] Veteran Mage     We'll know the second the enemy     enters our route of advance. [14:49] Rietz     Then let's go over the plan once more. [14:52] Rietz     In normal combat, our opponent     stands no chance of victory. [14:55] Rietz     So there's a strong chance they'll try     to use projectiles and ambush tactics. [15:01] Rietz     Which is why we'll follow standard combat     theory and attack their weak force directly. [15:06] Soldiers     Sir! [15:07] Rietz     We'll divide into two units.     My unit will march first. [15:12] Rietz     The other unit, led by Rosell, will follow     behind us, maintaining a certain distance. [15:19] Rietz     If Mireille mounts an ambush on you,     use sound magic to call us back. [15:24] Rietz     We'll be faster than they are, [15:26] Rietz     so we'll catch up before you're     wiped out and defeat them. [15:33] Rietz     That's our plan. [15:35] Rietz     Anything to add? [15:37] Rosell     Nothing. [15:40] Rietz     We've survived many battles together. [15:43] Rietz     If we fight as we always do,      we'll be just fine. [15:46] Rietz     And, as we always do... [15:48] Rietz     Let us seize victory! [15:51] Veteran Soldiers     Yes! [15:53] Kreiz     They're moving out! [15:55] Jean     They're splitting in two? [15:58] Jean     That's quite cautious of them. [16:00] Licia     That caution has surely led House     Louvent to victory many times before. [16:07] Licia     What will Mireille do in response? [16:13] Rietz     First, let's ascertain the enemy's     formation and position. [16:15] Ben     Yes, sir! [16:23] Ben     They triggered it already. [16:25] Rietz     That was quick. [16:35] Jil     Ah, R-Rietz! [16:38] Rietz     You're from Mireille's team... [16:41] Jil     E-Er... [16:42] Jil     Do you think I could join your side? [16:46] Ben     Join our side? This has gotta be a trap. [16:50] Jil     I can tell you Mireille's strategy. [16:53] Rietz     I'll hear you out, for now. [16:56] Jil     Yes, sir! [16:58] Jil     Here's her plan. [17:00] Jil     Mireille predicted you'd split     your troops into two units. [17:04] Jil     She was going to make her soldiers call out     that a real enemy attack was happening, [17:10] Jil     to get you right where she wants you... [17:16] Ars     Grin! [17:17] Jil     ...then ambush the other unit     when they rushed in to help, [17:21] Jil     and use all she's got to take out your general. [17:27] Jil     That's her entire plan. [17:30] Henry     Lord Ars really went for that? [17:31] Dawson     He didn't object to it? [17:34] Jil     He didn't. [17:36] Jil     Please, let me join your team! [17:43] Rietz     That's not possible. [17:44] Rietz     As persuasive as Mireille may be, [17:47] Rietz     Lord Ars would never accept such a plan. [17:51] Rietz     Do you think so little of him? [17:55] Jil     Of course not! I was totally lying just now. [18:00] Jil     You're absolutely right, Rietz. [18:02] Jil     Mireille just asked me to pretend to betray     her to get you where she wants you. [18:06] Rietz     Why admit that to us, your enemy? [18:10] Jil     I hate Mireille. [18:12] Jil     She comes late to training     and pushes her busywork on us! [18:17] Jil     I've never once seen her do any decent work! [18:20] Rietz     I sympathize. [18:23] Jil     I know it's not good to hate your allies. [18:26] Jil     But I've sworn my loyalty to Lord Ars. [18:31] Jil     That's all the more reason I can't     abide her slovenly attitude. [18:35] Jil     I want to betray Mireille. [18:38] Jil     So I'll tell you her real plan. [18:44] Rietz     I see. [18:45] Rietz     She wants to lure us here and attack us on     both sides with her unit and Lord Ars's. [18:51] Jil     Please pretend to fall for the plan. [18:54] Jil     I'm supposed to use sound magic     to signal the attack. [18:57] Jil     If I don't, her plan will fail. [19:01] Jil     Please make wise decisions,     for Lord Ars's sake. [19:07] Rietz     All right. [19:08] Rietz     Let me hold your catalyzer just to be safe. [19:12] Jil     Take it. [19:16] Rietz     Detain him. [19:21] Jil     Hey! What's this all about?! [19:24] Rietz     The conspicuousness of your catalyzer     makes me suspect ulterior motives. [19:30] Henry     He's got another catalyzer! [19:34] Rietz     You were planning to lure us there, [19:37] Rietz     then use your hidden catalyzer to trigger     the sound magic when we arrived. [19:41] Jil     N-No! I wasn't— [19:48] Jil     Yes. You're right. [19:50] Freddie     He almost had us fooled. [19:52] Rietz     But he's also simplified things for us. [19:55] Rietz     They won't send their soldiers here     without the sound magic signal. [20:00] Rietz     Let's get around behind them and strike. [20:03] Veteran Soldiers     Sir! [20:07] Alice     They're on the move! [20:09] Wren     They're so fast! [20:20] Ben     Are Rosell and his men keeping up? [20:23] Rietz     We're moving swiftly, but I'm sure they are. [20:37] Rietz     If we take out Lord Ars here, we win. [20:43] Rietz     Now! [20:52] Mireille     Hey, nice work! [20:54] Mireille     Just like I expected. [20:57] Mireille     Great performance, kid. [20:59] Gullar     Wh-What's the meaning of this?! [21:01] Ben     Where are the other soldiers?! [21:05] Mireille     You're so loyal and talented. [21:06] Mireille     And extremely predictable. [21:08] Rietz     What are you smiling about? [21:11] Rietz     I don't know what your plan was here... [21:14] Rietz     But this still ends when     I take out your general. [21:18] Rietz     Did you really think you could escape me? [21:22] Ars     He's angry! Rietz is out     of his mind with rage! [21:25] Mireille     Oh, how scary. [21:27] Mireille     But I've got faith in my speed and stamina. [21:32] Rietz     Interesting. We've got that in common. [21:35] Mireille     Okay, then... [21:38] Mireille     Time to start a game of tag! [21:41] Rietz     All men... charge! [21:45] Ars     I really feel like you're driving      that wedge deeper! [23:25] Ars     W-We're playing tag with Rietz?! [23:27] Ars     There's no way we're gonna win! [23:29] Mireille     Aw, what's wrong, Ars? [23:31] Ars     Mireille! Are you sure this     plan is going to work?! [23:34] Mireille     Yeah, no idea. [23:36] Ars     So it might not?! [23:36] sign     Next Time Oath [23:37] Ars     Next time: "Oath."
