[00:01] Ars
    Welcome back, Father!

    Raven Louvent
[00:03] Raven
    It's good to be home, Ars.
[00:05] Ars
    I'm so glad to see you return safely.
[00:09] Ars
    Our domain, Lamberg, lies in Canarre District.
[00:12] Ars
    We've been dealing with land disputes
    with the Province of Seitz.

[00:15] Ars
    Father has been dispatched
    there several times.
[00:18] Ars
    Fortunately, spirits here remain high.
[00:23] Ars
    How did the battle go this time?
[00:25] Raven
    It was a great victory.
[00:27] Raven
    Of course, the star was
    once again the young lady.
[00:31] Ars
    It's been three years
    since Charlotte joined us.
[00:33] sign
    Charlotte Wraith
[00:35] Charlotte
    Good to be back, Ars.
[00:37] Ars
    Welcome home, Charlotte!
[00:39] Ars
    Charlotte appeared like a
    comet on the battlefield
[00:42] Ars
    and soon became the most
    feared mage around.
[00:48] Ars
    She was given the title
    "Louvent's Lady of Flames."

    Thanks to her, our mage corps
    is now the pride of House Louvent
[00:57] Ars
    right alongside my father's infantry corps.
[01:00] Ars
    I never dreamed the addition of one great
    talent could change things this much!
[01:06] Ars
    I'm realizing all over again
    just how important skill is.
[01:09] Sofia
    See that, Kreiz, Wren?
[01:11] Sofia
    Your father has returned.
[01:14] Ars
    And there's one other bit of good news!
[01:17] Ars
    I now have a little brother and sister—twins!
[01:21] Raven
    Every time I come home,
    they've changed a bit more.
[01:23] Sofia
    Yes. But they look so much like Ars!

    Lord Ars, excellent news!
[01:34] Rietz
    We may have found some new talent.
[01:37] Ars
    What? Really?!
[01:38] Rietz
    Yes! It appears a family of
    hunters has moved to Lamberg.
[01:43] Rietz
    Two of the brothers
    are quite tall and strong.
[01:47] Rietz
    People are singing their praises.

    Episode 4 Where Talent Dwells
[03:20] Ars
    We're off!
[03:22] Ars
    Good to see you again, Macaroni!
[03:24] Rietz
    I'm told the family lives
    in the woods outside town.
[03:27] Charlotte
    Ars!
[03:28] Charlotte
    You heading out somewhere?
[03:31] Ars
    Charlotte!
[03:32] Ars
    Some excellent prospects
    have moved into the forest,
[03:35] Ars
    so we're going to meet them!
[03:38] Charlotte
    I'll come along as your escort.
[03:40] Charlotte
    I'm off duty today.
[03:44] Ars
    I said we could all go together...
[03:47] Ars
    But I wasn't expecting this.
[03:49] Charlotte
    Can't we go any faster?
[03:52] Rietz
    It's your own fault that you can't ride.
[03:54] Rietz
    You're weighing us down.
[03:56] Charlotte
    That's not true!
[03:58] Charlotte
    Me and Ars combined don't weigh
    what a single adult would!
[04:01] Charlotte
    Maybe you should get off and run.
[04:03] Rietz
    You get off. You're the one who
    insisted on coming. Shameless girl.
[04:07] Charlotte
    I'm escorting Ars.
[04:09] Rietz
    I told you I could handle that myself.
[04:11] Charlotte
    I'm way better suited to protecting him!
[04:13] Charlotte
    Unlike you, I have real
    battle accomplishments.
[04:15] Rietz
    I've been fighting on battlefields
    since I was younger than you are.
[04:19] Rietz
    I'd be more than your match out there.
[04:22] Rietz
    I will protect Lord Ars.
[04:23] Charlotte
    No, I'll protect him.
[04:25] Ars
    Why is looking for new comrades
    breaking up the ones I already have?
[04:38] Marcus
    That puts me back in the lead!
[04:40] Gatos
    Nice work. Now it's my turn!
[04:43] Rietz
    They appear to be hunters.
[04:46] Gatos
    People?!
[04:47] Gatos
    I'm sorry! We didn't see you!
[04:48] Gatos
    Are you all right?
[04:50] Rietz
    We're fine.
[04:53] Rietz
    Hey, could they be...

[04:56] Rietz
    I knew it! The brothers we heard about.
[04:58] Rietz
    And they have Prowess stats
    of 67 and 65? Nice numbers!
[05:03] Rietz
    As for aptitude, Gatos has
    A-rank potential for infantry,
[05:06] Rietz
    and Marcus is A-ranked for archery.
[05:09] Gatos
    Er... what brings you to this forest?
[05:13] Ars
    I have a request to make of you!
[05:21] Greg
    You came all the way out here,
     and this is all I have to offer...
[05:26] Greg
    I'm so sorry!
[05:27] Ars
    N-No, we're the ones who dropped in on you...
[05:33] Charlotte
    That's good stuff! What kind of meat is this?
[05:36] Gatos
    It's the suw we caught earlier.
[05:38] Gatos
    They're fast little guys,
    so they're difficult to hunt,
[05:42] Gatos
    but they're absolutely delicious.
[05:44] Charlotte
    So good!
[05:46] Rietz
    Show some decorum.
[05:48] Rietz
    Don't you have any shame as an escort?
[05:51] Greg
    So, well... what business does the son
    of His Lordship have with us?
[05:58] Ars
    We'd like to have Gatos and Marcus
    serve as soldiers for House Louvent.
[06:04] Greg
    You mean it?!
[06:06] Ars
    Yes! They clearly both have talent.
[06:09] Rietz
    Lord Ars has an impeccable eye for people.
[06:12] Greg
    Isn't that wonderful, my boys?
[06:14] Greg
    You've always said you wanted to
    make names for yourselves as soldiers!
[06:18] Gatos
    Yes!
[06:19] Marcus
    We'll do our best!
[06:21] Greg
    That's the son of His Lordship for you!
[06:24] Greg
    You're so much more mature than my Rosell,
[06:28] Greg
    even though you're not much older.
[06:30] Ars
    Rosell? You have another son?
[06:34] Greg
    Yes.
[06:35] Greg
    Though he's rather inept by comparison...
[06:38] Ars
    Oh, really? Where is he now?
[06:41] Greg
    Now that you mention it...
[06:43] Charlotte
    That him?
[06:45] Greg
    Rosell! Don't just sneak in
     without saying hello!
[06:48] Greg
    This is the son of the ruling lord!
[06:50] Greg
    Greet him properly!
[06:54] Rosell
    U-Um...
[06:56] Reitz
    His hair's a different color
    than his brothers'.

[07:13] Rietz
    Are you all right?
[07:15] Ars
    The hell is with that Ingenuity stat?!
[07:17] Ars
    He's like Kuroda Kanbei reborn!
[07:19] Ars
    A max of 109?
[07:21] Ars
    He's a monster!
[07:22] Ars
    I doubt I'd find a higher stat in
    all the Summerforth Empire...
[07:27] Ars
    His current stats are low
    because he's only five years old,
[07:30] Ars
    but with proper training,
    he'd be a brilliant retainer for sure!
[07:34] Greg
    I'm terribly sorry.
[07:36] Greg
    Like I said, he's quite inept
    compared to his brothers...
[07:39] Ars
    Sir...
[07:40] Ars
    I dearly want him as a retainer, too!
[07:45] Greg
    N-No, you really shouldn't...
[07:48] Greg
    He'd only cause trouble for His Lordship.
[07:51] Ars
    Not at all!
[07:52] Ars
    Rosell, will you join us?!
[07:56] Rosell
    Me? A retainer?
[07:58] Ars
    Yes! I believe you have talent!
[08:01] Ars
    So will you come with me, Rosell?
[08:03] Rosell
    Me, a retainer?
[08:05] Rosell
    You mean... I have to fight?
[08:08] Rietz
    He'll have to do what we say once he's there!
[08:11] Charlotte
    That's right!
[08:13] Ars
    We'll suck your bones dry!
[08:15] Rosell
    Screw that! I'll die! No way!
[08:19] Greg
    Rosell! How dare you talk to him like—
[08:21] Rosell
    No!
[08:22] Greg
    Hey, you—
[08:24] Greg
    He shut himself up in his room again.
[08:27] Ars
    A-Another rejection...
[08:29] Rietz
    I can't help but feel like I've seen this before.
[08:34] Greg
    I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid
    he's unlikely to accept.
[08:38] Greg
    Compared to Gatos and Marcus,
    he's quite frail and timid.
[08:42] Greg
    His mother passed two years ago,
[08:45] Greg
    and he's been so withdrawn ever since.
[08:49] Greg
    By his age, the son of a hunter should be
    chopping wood and training with a bow,
[08:55] Greg
    but he'd struggle just to survive,
    much less go to war.
[08:59] Greg
    He would only cause trouble for His Lordship.
[09:02] Ars
    Sir, Rosell's talents aren't for
    being a soldier like his brothers.
[09:08] Ars
    They're talents of the mind—of a strategist.
[09:11] Greg
    A strategist?
[09:13] Greg
    Well, he has always been rather
    clever and well-spoken...
[09:17] Ars
    I believe his incredible intelligence
    will be vital to our cause.
[09:22] Greg
    Really?
[09:23] Ars
    I'm going to ask him again.
[09:25] Greg
    Wait—
[09:28] Ars
    Excuse me.
[09:32] Ars
    S-Sorry!
[09:33] Ars
    I didn't mean to startle you.
[09:36] Ars
    I wanted to apologize for what I said...
[09:40] Ars
    Do you like books?
[09:42] Rosell
    Y-Yeah.
[09:45] Rosell
    Though this is the only one we have...
[09:47] Rosell
    My mom read it to me all the time.
[09:51] Ars
    Really?
[09:54] Rosell
    I'm awful at everything...
[09:57] Rosell
    But when I'm reading, I can forget
    all the bad things around me.
[10:05] Ars
    Rosell...
[10:07] Ars
    Would you like to come visit our library?
[10:10] Rosell
    Are there... lots of books there?
[10:13] Ars
    Yep!
[10:14] Ars
    And you can take as many as you like.
[10:17] Rosell
    I know what you're after!
[10:18] Rosell
    Once I take the books, you're
    gonna force me to do what you say!
[10:22] Ars
    No, of course not!
[10:24] Ars
    I just thought you might enjoy it,
    since you love books so much.
[10:29] Rosell
    Well, if there's really no catch,
    then I guess I'll go.
[10:34] Ars
    Thank you!
[10:35] Rosell

[10:49] Gatos
    Wow! This is way bigger than our house.

    Armor? Awesome!
[10:55] Ars
    She'll show you to the barracks,

    Very well, I'll lead you there!
[11:11] Both
    Great!
[11:12] Rosell
    You're leaving me here?! Come back!
[11:13] Ars
    Rosell, come join me in the library.
[11:20] Ars
    Incredible, right?
[11:22] Ars
    We have a copy of every book in Missian!
[11:31] Ars
    Go on. Read as much as you'd like.
[11:35] Ars
    I've got my daily lessons,
    so I'll leave you to it for a bit.
[11:38] Ars
    If you have any trouble, just ask Rietz!
[11:48] Ars
    Oh, crud!
[11:49] Ars
    I hope he hasn't left!
[11:52] Ars
    Rietz! Is Rosell still here?
[11:55] Rietz
    Lord Ars...
[11:57] Rietz
    He was so frantically reading
    as many books as possible,
[12:00] Rietz
    he tired himself out and fell asleep.
[12:03] Rietz
    When I taught him words he didn't know,
     he grasped them instantly,
[12:06] Rietz
    and was able to reason from there
    to deepen his understanding further.

[12:21] Gatos
    Excuse us.
[12:22] Gatos
    Rosell, it's time to go—
[12:26] Gatos
    Wow, he's asleep?
[12:29] Gatos
    Sheesh, the kid can't even read.
    What about this does he enjoy?
[12:33] Ars
    Wait a minute. He can't read?
[12:36] Gatos
    Yeah. Our late mother read to him,
[12:39] Gatos
    but hunters like us don't need to read,
[12:42] Gatos
    so we never learned.
[12:46] Rosell
    Huh?
[12:48] Rosell
    What are you guys doing here?
[12:50] Ars
    Rosell, how did you learn to read?
[12:55] Rosell
    Um...
[12:56] Rosell
    I remembered Mom reading
    to me when I was little,
[13:02] Rosell
    and I tried matching what she
    said to the words on the page.
[13:05] Rosell
    Eventually, I was able to read it.
[13:07] Gatos
    "Eventually"?
[13:09] Gatos
    You were only three back then.
[13:11] Rosell
    I remember most of what's
    happened since I was born.
[13:16] Ars
    He learned how to read on his own?
[13:19] Ars
    I can't let a talent like this go to waste...
[13:24] Ars
    Rosell's gifts are the real deal.
[13:27] Ars
    How can I explain that to the Kischas?
[13:31] Rietz
    If we could show Greg and Rosell that
    there are ways to hunt without a bow,
[13:38] Rietz
    it may give him confidence.
[13:41] Ars
    Without a bow?
[13:44] Gatos
    A trap?
[13:45] Ars
    Yes.
[13:46] Ars
    I know that archery is the primary
    hunting method in this area,
[13:49] Ars
    but hunting with traps is
    popular on other continents.
[13:53] Rosell
    I-I read about that in a book!
[13:55] Gatos
    But suws are fast and smart animals.
[13:59] Marcus
    If it's so easy to trap them,
    we're better off catching them ourselves.
[14:04] Ars
    Are you sure about that?
[14:08] Ars
    Rosell, strength and stamina
    aren't a person's only weapons.
[14:12] Ars
    Yours is your brain!
[14:15] Ars
    If you use that to create a trap,
    I'm sure your father will acknowledge you.
[14:19] Ars
    Do you want to try with me?
[14:22] Rosell
    B-But... there's no way I could...
[14:27] Gatos
    Give it a try, Rosell.
[14:28] Marcus
    We'll help you in any way we can.
[14:31] Marcus
    Give Pops and us the shock of our lives.
[14:34] Rosell
    Big Brother...
[14:36] Rosell
    I'll try it.
[14:38] Rosell
    I want to be useful to you all.
[14:45] Greg
    What is this?
[14:48] Marcus
    Pops!
[14:49] Marcus
    Look inside!
[14:54] Gatos
    Incredible, right?
[14:56] Gatos
    It's a trap Rosell made.
[14:59] Marcus
    Rosell.
[15:00] Rosell
    I've been thinking for a while...
[15:03] Rosell
    If my brothers ever got their
    wish to become soldiers,
[15:07] Rosell
    you'd have to do the hunting all on your own.
[15:11] Rosell
    So...
[15:14] Rosell
    I read that suws have a tendency
    to charge anything yellow.
[15:18] Rosell
    So I used a fence painted
    yellow to lure them in.
[15:23] Rosell
    It's a trap no human would fall for,
[15:25] Rosell
    but one anybody could use
    to easily trap suws.
[15:28] Gatos
    And that's not all!
[15:30] Gatos
    Look!
[15:32] Greg
    Herbs?
[15:33] Rosell
    I-I read that in a book, too.
[15:36] Rosell
    Baby suws and nursing mothers
     hate the smell of herbs.
[15:42] Rosell
    So I strung herbs around outside
    to keep mothers and babies out.
[15:47] Rosell
    And I made little exits the babies
    can use if they do get stuck inside.
[15:53] Rosell
    Suws reproduce quickly,
[15:55] Rosell
    but if you target the young,
    they'll die out eventually.
[15:58] Rosell
    I figured you'd prefer to focus on
    preserving the balance with nature, so...
[16:06] Rosell
    Sorry! I guess I was out of line...
[16:12] Marcus
    Isn't Rosell amazing?
[16:14] Marcus
    He made such a brilliant trap!
[16:17] Gatos
    You have to admit he's got talent.
[16:21] Greg
    Gatos, Marcus.
[16:23] Greg
    You're setting out tomorrow, right?
[16:26] Gatos
    Well, yeah.
[16:28] Gatos
    Take Rosell with you.
[16:31] Rosell
    Dad...
[16:33] Rosell
    W-Wait! I—
[16:34] Greg
    Rosell, leave home.
[16:38] Greg
    Lord Ars.
[16:39] Greg
    Please look after Rosell.
[16:42] Gatos
    Pops!
[16:43] Marcus
    Where's this coming from?
[16:44] Greg
    I'm begging you.
[16:54] Rosell
    I knew it. My dad hates me.
[16:58] Ars
    Wait! Where are you going?
[17:00] Rosell
    He told me to leave home.
[17:02] Rosell
    I can't stay with him anymore.
[17:06] Rosell
    I'll stay with you from now on, Lord Ars.
[17:10] Ars
    No. You need to return home for now.
[17:13] Rosell
    But...
[17:14] Ars
    I'm sure your father has his reasons.
[17:20] Rosell
    Mom started getting sick after I was born.
[17:27] Rosell
    Dad hates me because I'm the reason she died.
[17:34] Rosell
    Mom died because of me.
[17:37] Rosell
    That's what they all think.
[17:40] Rosell
    That's why I shut myself in my room
    on the anniversary of her death.
[17:44] Rosell
    I killed my mom. I can't help my family.
[17:47] Rosell
    I wish I just hadn't been born.
[17:53] Gatos
    Hush. You're gonna wake Rosell.
[17:56] Marcus
    Don't worry. He won't wake up.
[18:00] Gatos
    Pops, thank you for raising us till now.
[18:04] Marcus
    We're going to do you proud as soldiers.
[18:07] Greg
    Say that to the mother who gave birth to you.
[18:11] Trio
    To Mom!
[18:15] Gatos
    Hey, Pops, why'd you talk that way to Rosell?
[18:21] Gatos
    His trap was amazing, wasn't it?
[18:23] Gatos
    And he worked so hard to help you...
[18:25] Greg
    I know that.
[18:29] Greg
    The boy should resent me.
[18:34] Greg
    I failed to see his talent.
[18:38] Greg
    In fact, I was only focused
    on what he couldn't do.
[18:42] Greg
    I was so hard on him.
[18:45] Greg
    Not seeing my own child's potential...
    I'm a failure as a father.
[18:50] Greg
    I want him to spend the rest of his life
    in a place where his talent can shine.
[18:56] Greg
    But he's kind, just like his mother was.
[19:00] Greg
    He's been more worried about me
    than about his own talents.
[19:04] Greg
    The only way to get him to leave is
    to make him hate and resent me.
[19:10] Greg
    It's the only way I can atone
    for what I've done to him!
[19:14] Gatos
    Pops...
[19:15] Greg
    Gatos, Marcus...
[19:17] Greg
    Please support Rosell, as I failed to do.
[19:24] Greg
    Because...
[19:26] Greg
    He's my precious son, just like you two are!
[19:36] Ars
    We've come to escort your sons.
[19:39] Greg
    Lord Ars, please look after my boys.
[19:43] Ars
    Thank you for everything.
[19:45] Marcus
    Pops!
[19:47] Marcus
    We're heading out.
[19:48] Greg
    Good. Give it your best.
[19:50] Rosell
    Wait, Big Brothers!
[19:54] Rosell
    I'm going, too!
[19:55] Ars
    Rosell?
[20:04] Ars
    Rosell...
[20:05] Ars
    If you go, you won't see
    your father for a while...
[20:08] Rosell
    That's fine.
[20:25] Rosell
    I could never hate you, Dad!
[20:30] Rosell
    I'm weak, and I'm awful at hunting...
[20:34] Rosell
    I couldn't be of any use here at home...
[20:37] Rosell
    But I'm gonna go to Lord Ars's place,
    and study, and learn all kinds of things
[20:41] Rosell
    to become useful to the village!
[20:44] Rosell
    I'll work to make better traps, too!
[20:47] Rosell
    So... So...
[20:49] Rosell
    Can we live together when that day comes?!
[20:54] Greg
    Yes!
[20:55] Greg
    I'll be right here waiting!
[21:01] Rosell
    I'm on my way!
[21:03] Greg
    Yes! Have a good trip!
[21:04] Gatos
    Lord Ars!
[21:05] Rosell
    Dad!
[21:07] Gatos
    You've enabled Rosell to come
    serve your house with us.
[21:08] Greg
    You can come back whenever you're lonely!
[21:13] Marcus
    Thank you!
[21:15] Ars
    I didn't care if he became my retainer.
[21:21] Ars
    It's true that he has amazing talent.
[21:24] Ars
    I really would love to have him.
[21:27] Ars
    But all that aside, they matter
    to me as people of our domain.
[21:32] Ars
    Seeing their bond restored
    makes me truly happy.
[21:38] Gatos
    Lord Ars...
[21:39] Gatos
    We'll serve you with all we have!
[21:41] Marcus
    We'll become fine soldiers and keep you safe!
[21:45] Ars
    Thank you.
[21:49] Rosell
    I'll try hard, too!
[21:51] Ars
    Glad to have you.
[21:53] Rosell
    Thank you!
[23:25] Ars
    With Rosell and his brothers joining us,
     recruiting is going well!
[23:29] Rietz
    Don't let your guard down.
[23:30] Rietz
    Danger could strike Lamberg at any time.
[23:33] Ars
    Oh, Rietz! You're such a worrywart!
[23:36] Ars
    Next time: "The Storm Arrives!"
[23:36] sign
    Next Time
    The Storm Arrives!
[23:38] Ars
    Wait, a storm?!
