[00:03] sign     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. [00:12] sign     Province of Seitz [00:12] sign     Province of Missian [00:12] sign     Canarre District [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." [00:52] sign     Prowess 101/116     Leadership 73/92 [00:52] sign     Charlotte Wraith 14 Female [00:52] Ars     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!

[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. [01:50] sign     As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,          I'll Use My Appraisal Skill      to Rise in the World [03:11] sign     As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,          I'll Use My Appraisal Skill      to Rise in the World [03:20] sign     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... [04:53] sign     Gatos Kisha 12 Male          Prowess 67/77          Infantry: A Cavalry: C [04:53] sign     Marcus Kisha 11 Male          Prowess 65/75          Infantry: C Cavalry: D Archer: A [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'. [06:59] Charlotte     Sure is. [07:03] sign     Leadership 35/88 Ingenuity 45/109 Diplomacy 32/95 [07:03] sign     Rosell Kischa 5 Male [07:06] sign     Infantry: D Cavalry: D Archer: C     Mage: C Builder: A Smith: A     Naval: C Aerial: A Strategist: S [07:07] sign     Ingenuity 45/109 [07:11] Charlotte     Hey, gross. [07:12] Rietz     Lord Ars! [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     But my brothers have to come, too! [10:37] Sign     As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,          I'll Use My Appraisal Skill      to Rise in the World [10:37] Rosell     If anything happens     and I'm on my own, I'll die! [10:42] ---     As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,          I'll Use My Appraisal Skill      to Rise in the World [10:43] Rosell     A ferocious beast! It's gonna eat me! [10:46] Charlotte     It's just a dog. [10:48] Ars     Welcome, everyone! [10:49] Gatos     Wow! This is way bigger than our house. [10:53] Marcus     Armor? Awesome! [10:55] Ars     She'll show you to the barracks,      if you'd like. [10:58] Ars     This is the head of our mage corps! [11:00] Charlotte     Sheesh, do I have to? [11:03] Gatos     A girl runs your mage corps?! [11:04] Marcus     Cool! She's awesome! [11:07] Charlotte     You both show promise. [11:09] Charlotte     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. [12:10] sign     Ingenuity 46/109 [12:11] sign     Ingenuity 48/109 [12:13] Ars     His Ingenuity is shooting up! [12:14] sign     Ingenuity 56/109 [12:16] Ars     In just a few hours? [12:18] Ars     He absorbs things so quickly... [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!
