[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.

Let us pray for him.

[02:28] Lumeire
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

[03:49] sign

[03:49] Menas
but one to the west, Perreina,
refuses to yield to pressure.

[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...

As a Reincarnated Aristocrat,

[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!

Next time: "Sounding Out."
