[00:08] Ars
    It's been three months since you passed.
[00:12] Ars
    I'm still not entirely
    used to my lordly duties,
[00:15] Ars
    but I'm managing, thanks to everyone's help.
[00:21] Rietz
    Lord Ars.
[00:23] Rietz
    Are you all right?
[00:25] Ars
    Yes.
[00:27] Ars
    I'll never measure up to you,
[00:29] Ars
    but I'll do the best I can in my own way.

    Raven's heir, Ars, now takes up his mantle
     as the head of House Louvent.
[02:34] Lumeire
    Ars.
[02:35] Ars
    Right.
[02:37] Ars
    I am the new lord, Ars Louvent.
[02:40] Ars
    Inexperienced though I may be,
    I will do my best to fulfill my role.
[02:44] Krall
    I certainly see more confidence
    in your eyes now.
[02:48] Hammond
    We'll be counting on you.
[02:50] Lumeire
    You now stand on even footing
    with the rest of us.
[02:53] Lumeire
    We expect great things from you.
[02:56] Ars
    Yes, my lord.
[03:00] Lumeire
    Regarding the armistice between
    Lord Couran and Lord Vasmarque...
[03:04] Lumeire
    Lord Couran, whose side we've chosen,
    has successfully raised an army.
[03:09] Ars
    The war's really starting now...
[03:12] Lumeire
    We'll lay out the situation for you.
[03:14] Lumeire
    Menas, please elucidate.
[03:16] Menas
    My lord.
[03:18] Menas
    The capital of Missian Province, Arcantez,
[03:22] Menas
    is currently occupied by the
    younger brother, Lord Vasmarque.
[03:26] Menas
    He holds soldiers and resources
    in greater numbers than ours,
[03:29] Menas
    but his older brother controls
     the trading city of Semplar,
[03:33] Menas
    which gives us economic superiority.
[03:37] Menas
    The power of these cities is roughly even,
[03:39] Menas
    meaning the loyalties of the surrounding
    districts will be a major deciding factor.
[03:44] Menas
    For this reason, Lord Couran is attempting
    to secure the neighboring districts,
[03:49] sign
    Coumeire
[03:49] sign
    Canarre
    District
[03:49] sign
    Maasa
    District
[03:49] sign
    Arcantez
[03:49] sign
    Province of Ansel
[03:49] sign
    Province of Seitz
[03:49] sign
    Province of Paradille
[03:49] sign
    Perreina District
[03:49] sign
    Lamberg
[03:49] sign
    Semplar
[03:49] Menas
    but one to the west, Perreina,
    refuses to yield to pressure.
[03:54] sign
    Province of Paradille
[03:54] sign
    Province of Seitz
[03:54] sign
    Province of Ansel
[03:54] sign
    Maasa

[03:54] sign
    Lamberg
[03:54] sign
    Coumeire
[03:54] sign
    Canarre
    District
[03:54] sign
    Perreina
[03:55] Menas
    Perreina is a minor domain
    with only a small military,
[03:59] Menas
    but the shortest route we can take
    to attack Arcantez runs through it.
[04:05] Lumeire
    In other words, without
    Perreina under our control,
[04:08] Lumeire
    we can't run efficient
    supply lines to the front,
[04:11] Lumeire
    increasing the likelihood
    that we'll lose the war.
[04:15] Lumeire
    We'd hoped to bring them to our
    side without pointless fighting,
[04:19] Lumeire
    but their refusal to yield
    has forced our hand.
[04:23] Lumeire
    We will subjugate Perreina.
[04:32] Ars
    Excuse me.
[04:33] Lumeire
    Yes?
[04:34] Ars
    Would you allow us to try our
    own measures in Perreina first?
[04:41] Lumeire
    What exactly do you mean?
[04:43] Ars
    Well...

    Louvent Estate, Days Earlier
[04:49] (Flashback) Rosell
    Something seems off.
[04:52] (Flashback) Charlotte
    What does?
[04:54] (Flashback) Rosell
    If they're so vulnerable to an attack from us,
[04:57] (Flashback) Rosell
    why are they digging their heels in like this?
[05:02] (Flashback) Rosell
    I think there's more to this
    than meets the eye.
[05:06] (Flashback) Rietz
    I feel the same way.
[05:09] (Flashback) Ars
    What do you think it is?
[05:10] (Flashback) Rosell
    I don't know.
[05:12] (Flashback) Rosell
    But attacking before we find out could
    leave us in for a rude awakening.
[05:18] (Flashback) Rosell
    I think we need to uncover
    the full situation first.
[05:22] (Flashback) Ars
    I see...
[05:24] (Flashback) Ars
    But how do we get that information?
[05:28] (Flashback) Rietz
    Why not hire mercenaries?
[05:30] (Flashback) Ars
    Mercenaries?
[05:32] (Flashback) Rietz
    There's a mercenary band called "Shadow"
    that excels in information gathering.
[05:37] (Flashback) Rietz
    The rumors say they're
    frighteningly good at it.
[05:41] (Flashback) Ars
    Can you get us in contact with them?
[05:45] (Flashback) Rietz
    I'll try.
[05:46] (Flashback) Rosell
    Er, if I may make a suggestion...
[05:49] (Flashback) Rosell
    If the topic of the council
    is the subjugation of Perreina,
[05:52] (Flashback) Rosell
    could you propose that
    we handle it ourselves?
[05:56] (Flashback) Ars
    All right. We'll try it!
[06:00] Ars
    It's strange that they refuse to yield
    despite being surrounded by enemies.
[06:06] Ars
    Finding the reason for their stance
    should illuminate a better approach.
[06:15] Lumeire
    Very well.
[06:16] Lumeire
    I'll give you time to investigate.
[06:19] Ars
    Thank you, my lord.
[06:26] Ars
    That was nerve-racking!
[06:28] Rietz
    It's over now, Lord Ars.
    You were magnificent.
[06:32] Charlotte
    Sheesh, why do these council
    things always take so long?
[06:37] Orphans
    Charlotte!
[06:39] Orphans
    Charlotte!
[06:41] Orphan C
    It's been forever!
[06:42] Orphan B
    How have you been?
[06:44] Charlotte
    Hey, look how big you guys have gotten!
[06:51] Orphan C
    You're still doing your job, right?
[06:53] Charlotte
    You bet I am.
[06:54] Charlotte
    Look, I brought some smoked suw.
[06:56] Charlotte
    You guys share it around, okay?
[06:58] Orphans
    I love this stuff!
[07:00] Governess
    Lord Ars.
[07:02] Governess
    It's been such a long time.
[07:05] Ars
    It's good to see you all again.
[07:09] Ars
    We arrived at the orphanage I had built.
[07:13] Ars
    Since I trust the ladies here,
[07:15] Ars
    I had asked them to take in the kids
    Charlotte was looking after.
[07:20] Ars
    I also asked them to give a home
    to as many orphaned children
[07:24] Ars
    they found in the alleys
    as they possibly could.
[07:26] Orphan
    Yeah, I'm way taller now!
[07:30] Ars
    Those kids are almost old enough
    to leave the nest themselves.
[07:33] Charlotte
    So what's new with you guys these days?
[07:38] Orphan C
    I'm gonna take the test to
    join Lord Lumeire's army!
[07:42] Orphan B
    I want to work as a maid in Castle Canarre!
[07:46] Orphan A
    I've got a job at the bakery
    on the main thoroughfare.
[07:50] Orphan D
    I love growing vegetables,
[07:53] Orphan D
    so I'd like to help on a farm in Lamberg.
[07:56] Charlotte
    Oh, yeah?
[07:58] Orphan C
    Thank you so much, Lord Ars.
[08:00] Orphan C
    You really changed our lives.
[08:03] Ars
    It wasn't just me.
[08:05] Ars
    Charlotte sends most of her salary
    to this place for you guys.
[08:14] Orphan C
    Thank you, Charlotte!
[08:20] Orphan C
    Well, later!
[08:21] Orphan B
    We'll work hard!
[08:22] Orphan A
    Thanks for the meat!
[08:24] Orphan D
    See you again!
[08:26] Charlotte
    I'd thought about taking 'em
    to Lamberg with me at first,
[08:31] Charlotte
    but letting 'em stay here
    was the right call.
[08:34] Ars
    Though Lamberg is beautiful
     and a great place to live,
[08:39] Ars
    I figured living in a big city would
    provide them with more opportunities.
[08:45] Ars
    Children should see lots of
    things, learn lots of things,
[08:48] Ars
    and choose their lives for themselves.
[08:53] Charlotte
    You said it.
[08:55] Licia
    Lord Ars!
[08:56] Licia
    It's been so long!
[08:58] Ars
    Licia?!
[08:59] Ars
    What are you doing here?
[09:01] Licia
    We accompanied my father to Castle Canarre,
[09:04] Licia
    and when I heard that you'd be here,
[09:07] Licia
    I decided to pay a visit!
[09:09] Ars
    I'm delighted to see you...
[09:13] Ars
    But you didn't have to come all this way.
[09:15] Ars
    Wh-What do I do? I'm not
    mentally prepared to face her...
[09:20] Licia
    Oh, my!
[09:24] Licia
    What a truly joyous place!
[09:27] Licia
    Happiness just follows you
    wherever you go, doesn't it?
[09:33] Ars
    Licia...
[09:39] Ars
    I-I'm sorry!
[09:40] Ars
    I'll buy you a new dress at once!
[09:43] Licia
    My, we're having fun, aren't we?
[09:51] Licia
    Would you mind terribly
    if I joined your game?
[09:56] Licia
    Here I come! I'm going to get you!
[09:58] Jean
    L-Lady Licia!
[10:00] Licia
    Come back here now!
[10:02] Ars
    She really is incredible.
[10:12] Licia
    Lord Ars.
[10:13] Licia
    What might your agenda for tomorrow be?
[10:16] Ars
    I've asked Rietz to put me in touch
    with a mercenary group called Shadow.
[10:21] Ars
    If they agree to meet me,
[10:22] Ars
    I'm going to negotiate with them about a job.
[10:26] Licia
    I see!
[10:27] Licia
    I'd be most interested in hearing more.
[10:30] Licia
    Would you mind if I accompanied you tomorrow?
[10:33] Ars
    N-No, you can't do that!
[10:36] Licia
    Whyever not?
[10:37] Ars
    I-It could be dangerous!
[10:39] Licia
    You'll have your retinue, won't you?
[10:41] Licia
    It's perfectly safe.
[10:42] Ars
    We don't even know if they'll meet with me!
[10:45] Licia
    I have absolute faith in Rietz.
[10:48] Ars
    Very well.
[10:50] Ars
    If they agree to meet, I'll come
    fetch you at your lodgings...
[10:54] Licia
    Oh, I'm staying right here.
[10:58] Rosell
    Is that why Jean had so much luggage?
[11:02] Licia
    I beg your indulgence, Lord Ars.
[11:04] Licia
    I have no means of leaving now.
[11:08] Ars
    Then I'll arrange a room for you.
[11:11] Licia
    Oh?
[11:13] Licia
    I would be more than pleased
    to stay in your room, Lord Ars.
[11:16] Ars
    O-Out of the question!
[11:21] Charlotte
    What's with all the flirting?
[11:23] Ars
    Oh, we're really not...
[11:25] Licia
    Honestly, Lord Ars!
[11:27] Licia
    There's no need to be shy!
[11:27] Rietz
    Lord Ar—
[11:28] Rietz
    ...s?
[11:29] Licia
    Join me in bed, won't you?
[11:31] Charlotte
    No way! You're sleeping with me, darn it!
[11:33] Licia
    Heavens, no! Lord Ars must stay with me!
[11:37] Charlotte
    Gimme a break!
[11:37] Rosell
    Are all women this pushy?
[11:41] Charlotte
    Hey! You're sleeping with us, too.
[11:43] Rosell
    No!
[11:46] Rosell
    Help me, Rietz!
[11:48] Rietz
    I'm sorry, Rosell.
[11:48] sign
    Rietz turned him down flat
[11:50] Rosell
    Hold on, darn it!
[12:04] Licia
    Good morning, Lord Ars!
[12:06] Charlotte
    Didja sleep good?
[12:09] Ars
    Good morning...
[12:14] Rosell
    I didn't sleep a wink.
[12:16] Ars
    Me, either.
[12:18] Rietz
    Good morning, Lord Ars!
[12:20] Rietz
    I've received a message from Shadow.
[12:22] Charlotte
    Hey, nice work.
[12:24] Rosell
    Morning, Rietz...

[12:29] Ars
    Thank you for your hospitality.
[12:32] Governess
    It was nothing.
[12:33] Governess
    You're welcome anytime.
[12:35] Orphan Kid
    You'll come back again, won't you?
[12:38] Ars
    Of course.
[12:39] Orphan C
    Thanks for everything, Charlotte.
[12:42] Orphan C
    We might be gone by the
    next time you're here,
[12:46] Orphan C
    but we'll do our best.
[12:48] Charlotte
    Sure thing. I can't wait to see it.
[12:50] Charlotte
    Later, guys!
[12:50] Orphans
    Bye-bye!
[12:52] Ars
    See you again!
[12:57] Ars
    Charlotte's in a great mood, huh?
[13:00] Rietz
    She certainly is.
[13:02] Ars
    Where are we meeting the members of Shadow?
[13:06] Rietz
    A bar on the outskirts of town.
[13:08] Ars
    I'm impressed you were able to reach them.
[13:11] Rietz
    A member of my old mercenary
    group had a contact.
[13:14] Rietz
    I wasn't at all confident,
    but I'm glad it worked out.
[13:19] Ars
    You mean mercenary organizations
    sometimes give work to other groups?
[13:24] Rietz
    It's because we all have
    different specialties.
[13:26] Rietz
    My group primarily did front-line combat.
[13:30] Rietz
    Shadow specializes more in covert work.
[13:35] Ars
    Covert work?
[13:37] Rietz
    Intelligence, espionage...
    sometimes even assassination.
[13:42] Ars
    A-Assassination?!
[13:44] Ars
    These people are scary as heck!
[13:47] Rietz
    There's just one thing that concerns me.
[13:50] Rietz
    I've heard Shadow's former leader stepped down
    and was replaced by someone rather young.
[13:56] Ars
    So you're worried they're not as good?
[14:00] Rietz
    The opposite.
[14:01] Rietz
    The new leader is extremely competent,
[14:04] Rietz
    and Shadow is far more capable
    than it's ever been.
[14:09] Licia
    A young and brilliant leader, then?
[14:12] Licia
    That's very admirable!
[14:13] Ars
    Y-Yes, it is!
[14:15] Ars
    But then what's the concern?
[14:18] Rietz
    Apparently the new leader only takes
    jobs that catch their interest.
[14:23] Ars
    What?
[14:24] Ars
    Th-Then we'd better make sure we pay well...
[14:27] Rietz
    Apparently that's not the issue.
[14:29] Rietz
    There's no way of knowing what
    kind of jobs they'll like.
[14:33] Ars
    I see...
[14:35] Ars
    I hope this works out.
[14:37] Ars
    But... Lord Lumeire is counting on me.
[14:40] Ars
    I've got to find a way to get
    Shadow to take the job!
[14:44] Rietz
    This is it.
[14:49] Staff (including Pham)
    Welcome!
[14:52] Hostess A
    Oh, what a little cutie!
[14:54] Hostess B
    We've got juice available.
[14:56] Ars
    R-Right...
[14:57] Owner
    Sorry, but we're full up today.
[15:00] Owner
    Scram.
[15:02] Ars
    What?
[15:02] Ars
    But we're here to meet with someone...
[15:05] Rietz
    No need to worry.
[15:07] Rietz
    Soon, the light will fade.
    The time of shadows is upon is.
[15:14] Owner
    Looks like a table just opened up.
[15:16] Owner
    Take the farthest one in the back.
[15:22] Rietz
    Isn't that great?
[15:25] Ars
    Was that like a code phrase?
[15:28] Ars
    So awesome!
[15:29] Licia
    Come along, Lord Ars.
[15:33] Charlotte
    Sheesh, I'm starvin'!
[15:39] Charlotte
    What's with these bozos?
[15:40] Charlotte
    Don't they know it's rude to stare?
[15:42] Charlotte
    You mind if I roast 'em?
[15:43] Rietz
    No roasting.
[15:45] Charlotte
    Fine.
[15:46] Charlotte
    Anyway, let's put in an order.
[15:48] Rietz
    Yes, let's.
[15:49] Charlotte
    'Scuse me!
[15:51] Rietz
    I wonder what their leader might be like.
[15:54] Ars
    Yeah...
[15:58] Ars
    Shadow specializes in gathering information.
[16:01] Ars
    They probably investigate not just
    their targets, but their clients, too.
[16:06] Ars
    Which means their leader might
    be here right now, watching us...
[16:10] Charlotte
    Ars!
[16:12] Charlotte
    Ars!
[16:13] Charlotte
    Don't keep the pretty lady waiting.
[16:16] Ars
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[16:18] Ars
    Um, let's see...
[16:20] Ars
    I'd like the fruit juice—
[16:30] Pham
    Is something the matter?
[16:35] Ars
    N-No, it's nothing...
[16:38] Ars
    I'd like a juice, please.
[16:40] Pham
    Coming right up!
[16:45] Ars
    I-I'm going to use the facilities.
[16:56] Ars
    What was that all about?
[17:01] sign
    Rietz Muses 23 Male
[17:04] Ars
    My Appraisal skill seems to be functioning.
[17:07] Ars
    But...
[17:10] Ars
    A Prowess of 92 and an Ingenuity of 90?
[17:13] Ars
    Those stats are incredible!
[17:15] Ars
    And... he's a 22-year-old man?!
[17:18] Pham
    Ars Louvent.
[17:23] Pham
    How did you know I'm the leader of Shadow?
[17:29] Pham
    Talk.
[17:35] Ars
    Rietz!
[17:40] Rietz
    Do you realize what you're doing, and to whom?
[17:43] Pham
    What a surprise.
[17:45] Pham
    I thought he was just some spoiled rich kid,
     but he managed to call an ally?
[17:49] Pham
    I didn't see him do it.
    Was it some kind of magic?
[17:53] Ars
    Nope! I dunno how he's here, either!
[17:56] Licia
    You really mustn't underestimate Lord Ars.
[17:59] Ars
    L-Licia?!
[18:02] Licia
    Gracious me. Drawing a blade
    on Lord Ars like that...
[18:07] Licia
    After such a rude display,
    you're behooved to accept his request...
[18:13] Licia
    Aren't you, boss?
[18:16] Ars
    How did she know?
[18:17] Pham
    And if I refuse?
[18:19] Pham
    Kind of hard for me to do my
    job if my identity gets out.
[18:23] Pham
    I could pull out all my tricks,
    kill the rich boy, and flee.
[18:28] Ars
    K-Kill me?!
[18:31] Licia
    I'm afraid you wouldn't stand
     the slightest chance.
[18:34] Licia
    With Rietz here, you'd struggle
    just to escape with your life.
[18:41] Licia
    Though I'm sure you've already realized that.
[18:48] Ars
    They're totally negotiating without me...
[18:51] Pham
    And if I still refuse your job?
[18:53] Licia
    You see, boss, I am quite cross.
[18:57] Licia
    Earlier, you suggested you'd kill Lord Ars.
[19:01] Licia
    Were you to do such a thing...
[19:04] Licia
    I would pursue you to the furthest
    reaches of the world and end you.
[19:08] Ars
    She's terrifying!
[19:16] Pham
    Goodness me. What a scary little rich girl.
[19:19] Pham
    Okay, I apologize for my rudeness.
[19:22] Pham
    Sorry, kid.
[19:23] Licia
    You won't get a second chance.
[19:26] Pham
    But before we go further,
    answer the question I asked you.
[19:30] Pham
    How did you know who I am?
[19:32] Pham
    I thought my disguise was pretty perfect.
[19:36] Ars
    I have an Appraisal skill that allows me
    to perceive the abilities of others.
[19:42] Pham
    Hard to take you on your word there.
[19:44] Pham
    I'm gonna need a bit more than that.
[19:46] Ars
    I suppose you would.
[19:48] Ars
    What can I do to make you believe me, Mazak?
[19:53] Pham
    That's not my name.
[19:56] Pham
    I threw it away a long time ago.
[19:59] Pham
    I go by Pham now.
[20:01] Pham
    Still, if you can even tell my name,
    your power's about my worst nightmare.
[20:07] Pham
    Okay. I like you, kid.
[20:09] Pham
    I'll take your job.
[20:12] Pham
    I'd rather not die just yet, see?
[20:15] Ars
    I'm happy to hear that...
[20:17] Ars
    But are you sure?
     I haven't told you about it yet.
[20:20] Ars
    And you barely know anything about me...
[20:22] Pham
    No need for all that.
[20:24] Pham
    I can easily see one's caliber based on
    who they surround themselves with.
[20:28] Pham
    This Malkan's pretty darn tough,
[20:32] Pham
    and this girl, intimidating beyond her years,
    seems to admire the heck out of you.
[20:38] Licia
    Gracious!
[20:39] Pham
    Gotta bet on a winning horse.
[20:42] Pham
    We can talk in the back.
[20:45] Ars
    Th-Thank you very much!
[20:48] Rietz
    Lady Licia, thank you for
    what you did back there.
[20:50] Licia
    Not at all.
[20:51] Ars
    What did you do?
[20:53] Licia
    Your expression when you saw our "waitress"
    made it clear that was Shadow's boss.
[20:58] Licia
    I discussed it with Rietz,
    and he decided to follow you.
[21:02] Ars
    What?
[21:03] Ars
    Of course. The boss must
    have realized it then, too...
[21:06] Licia
    I'd appreciate it if you'd
    always remain so transparent.
[21:10] Ars
    Thank you. You saved my life.
[21:13] Ars
    Sh-She's so dependable!
    It's kind of frightening, really...
[21:17] Pham
    Oh? Find out why Perreina District
     won't stand down, you say?
[21:22] Ars
    Well? Can you do it?
[21:25] Pham
    Of course I can.
[21:27] Pham
    It's my first job for you,
    so I'll take one gold as payment.
[21:31] Pham
    I'd like three silvers now for my advance.
[21:34] Ars
    Of course!
[21:35] Ars
    Er, how long will you need
    for the investigation?
[21:40] Pham
    Let's see...
[21:42] Pham
    Meet me back here in five days.
[21:44] Ars
    Huh?! That soon?!
[21:47] Pham
    No worries, kid.
[21:48] Pham
    This sort of intel gathering is our specialty.
[21:52] Ars
    Please see to it, then!
[23:25] Ars
    Thank you so much for saving me, Rietz!
[23:29] Rietz
    No... I dropped my guard.
[23:31] Rietz
    You're now in a position where your
    life will be under constant threat.
[23:35] Rietz
    I will accompany you to the bathroom—
[23:36] Ars
    No need for that!
[23:37] sign
    Next Time
    Sounding Out
[23:38] Ars
    Next time: "Sounding Out."
