[00:28] VAN
    I vow to follow your teachings
[00:31] VAN
    and dedicate my very being to
    walking the path of the Hero.
[00:36] VAN
    Such is the will of our Lord Demis.
[00:39] LAVENDER
    Hey...
[00:43] LJUBO
    There you are.
[00:48] VAN
    Ljubo, who is that?
[00:50] LJUBO
    Let me introduce you to our newest comrade.
[00:53] ESTA
    My name is Escarlata. Please call me Esta.
[00:57] VAN
    "Esta"?
[00:58] VAN
    As in Lady Esta,
[01:00] VAN
    the masked knight who defeated Altra of the
     Water, general of the demon lord's army?!
[01:04] ESTA
    Yes, that would be me.
    But I have no need for honorifics.
[01:08] VAN
    I understand. I am Van of Flamberge.
[01:12] VAN
    Please call me Van.
[01:13] ESTA
    "Flamberge"? Are you perhaps...
[01:17] LJUBO
    Indeed, he is the eighth
    prince and a survivor
[01:20] LJUBO
    of the Kingdom of Flamberge, which was
    destroyed by the demon lord's invasion.
[01:23] LJUBO
    The prince of a fallen
    country becomes the Hero.
[01:26] LJUBO
    It is surely the Almighty's will.
[01:29] VAN
    I am certain Lord Demis
    has brought you to me.
[01:32] VAN
    It will be a pleasure to
    fight alongside you, Esta.
[01:36] ESTA
    Likewise.
[01:39] VAN
    You should introduce yourself, too.
[01:43] LAVENDER
    I'm Lavender! Van's closest confidant,
[01:46] LAVENDER
    and his partner!
[01:48] LJUBO
    Our party is thus complete.
[01:51] VAN
    Let's forge a tale where
    the Hero saves our world.
SIGN    Banished from the Hero's Party,
    I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside 2nd
SIGN    Let's Go On a Quiet Little Journey
[03:32] GODWIN
    So, uh, I told you where
    they are. Can I go yet?
[03:36] YARANDRALA
    No. I don't know whether
    you've told me the truth yet.
[03:41] YARANDRALA
    And you gave me your word, did you not?
[03:47] (Flashback) YARANDRALA
    Do you really know the Champion Rit?
[03:50] (Flashback) YARANDRALA
    How about the man with her?
[03:52] (Flashback) GODWIN
    Yeah. The two of them are my besties.
[03:56] (Flashback) YARANDRALA
    Will you take me to them, then?
[03:59] (Flashback) GODWIN
    You betcha. But only if
    you show me a good time...
[04:03] (Flashback) GODWIN
    Huh?
[04:11] GODWIN
    They said to be wary of hot women and
    drinking too much. I should've listened.
[04:16] YARANDRALA
    Keep walking. We've got places to be.
[04:19] GODWIN
    Yeah, yeah.
[04:22] YARANDRALA
    We're adventurers.
    We're here to meet some old friends.
[04:26] GUARD
    Adventurers, eh?
[04:34] GUARD
    You may pass.
[04:36] YARANDRALA
    Thank you.
[04:41] GODWIN
    Good thing Zoltan's security is so lax.
[04:45] GUARD
    Wait...
[05:10] RED
    What's the holdup, Ruti?
[05:12] RUTI
    Big Brother.
[05:19] RED
    Someone's in a good mood.
[05:20] RUTI
    Yep. This is a first for me, after all.
[05:23] RED
    In what way?
[05:24] RUTI
    I've only ever gone adventuring
    as the Hero before.
[05:27] RUTI
    But this time, it's different.
[05:29] RUTI
    This is the first time
    we've made a journey
[05:31] RUTI
    that isn't related to fighting.
[05:34] RUTI
    And...
[05:35] RUTI
    That makes me so happy,
    words can't begin to describe it!
[05:39] RIT
    Ruti...
[05:42] RED
    We're headed to the mountain range
    called the Wall at the World's End.
[05:48] RED
    There are no battles in store for us,
    unlike when we were in the Hero's party.
[05:53] RED
    It's sure to be a chill, quiet journey.
[05:55] MOGRIM
    What're you standing around for? Hurry up!
[05:57] RED
    Right. Let's take a break
    after we've walked some more.
[06:00] RITRUTI
    Sure!
[06:08] MOGRIM
    Boy...
[06:09] MOGRIM
    The Wall is an obstacle dreaded by many,
[06:11] MOGRIM
    but you're going there to
    make an engagement ring?
[06:15] MOGRIM
    You truly are a crazy lot.
[06:18] RED
    I just really want a blue sapphire.
[06:21] RED
    I think it would match
    the color of Rit's eyes.
[06:24] MOGRIM
    Oho?
[06:25] RED
    They're rare stones, but the
    gem giants probably have some.
[06:29] RED
    I was hoping they might sell me one.
[06:32] RED
    It's a gift I can only give once in a lifetime,
    so I don't wanna make any compromises.
[06:37] RIT
    O-Once in a lifetime, huh?
[06:39] RED
    O-Obviously!
[06:41] MOGRIM
    Sheesh. Ever the lovebirds.
[06:43] RED
    You're one to talk, Mogrim.
    You joined us for Mink, too.
[06:47] RUTI
    For your wife?
[06:49] MOGRIM
    Oh, I guess I never told you.
[06:52] MOGRIM
    My missus is pregnant, you see.
[06:55] RUTI
    Congratulations!
[06:56] MOGRIM
    Thanks.
[06:58] MOGRIM
    The doc said it might come down to surgery
    and taking the child out of her belly.
[07:03] MOGRIM
    I want to do everything I can for her,
[07:06] MOGRIM
    but all I'm good at is hammering.
[07:10] MOGRIM
    That's why I want to make a
    knife out of earth crystal.
[07:14] RUTI
    Why earth crystal?
[07:16] MOGRIM
    Its blades are famous for being so sharp
    you don't even realize you've been cut.
[07:20] MOGRIM
    That should ease her burden.
[07:23] RED
    It's a pretty rare material,
    but the gem giants might have some.
[07:29] MOGRIM
    I'm glad I could join you on your journey.
[07:35] RUTI
    Everyone here is thinking of someone, I see.
[07:38] RUTI
    So am I.
[07:40] RUTI
    Big Brother, you went on adventures and
    faced countless dangers for my sake.
[07:45] RUTI
    But I've never once done the same for you.
[07:50] RUTI
    So, this time, I want to support you.
[07:54] RED
    Ruti.
[08:04] RIT
    Stop.
[08:06] MOGRIM
    Is that goblins I smell?
[08:08] RED
    It must be a horde that steals
    food and valuables from travelers.
[08:11] RIT
    I would've liked to avoid fighting,
    but so much for that.
[08:27] MOGRIM
    That sword I forged sure can
    cut through anything! Go me!
[08:43] RIT
    That should be all of them.
[08:45] RUTI
    Yeah. None observing from a distance, either.
[08:50] RED
    What is it, Mogrim?
[08:52] MOGRIM
    It was a long time ago now,
    but I made this spear.
[08:56] RED
    I see... Its original owner must've
    fallen prey to the goblins.
[09:02] RED
    This world is rife with violence.
[09:05] RED
    There isn't a single person here
    who can live a life free of battle.
[09:09] RED
    The Almighty Demis grants a
    Divine Blessing to all living things,
[09:15] RED
    and leveling it up requires battling and
    slaying someone who has a Blessing.
[09:22] RUTI
    Say, Big Brother...
[09:24] RUTI
    I've turned my back on a life
    of combat. Was I wrong to?
[09:29] RED
    Ruti has the Blessing of the Hero,
    said to be the most powerful in the world.
[09:35] RED
    No, you weren't.
    You've finally got your life back.
[09:39] RED
    Don't feel bad about it.
[09:41] RUTI
    Yeah. But...
[09:47] (Flashback) RUTI
    Is it such a bad thing to
    let me live a normal life?
[09:51] (Flashback) SHISANDAN
    Yes, it is.
[09:52] (Flashback) SHISANDAN
    You must live your life as the Hero.
[09:55] (Flashback) SHISANDAN
    The Almighty and all humanity won't
    allow the Hero to lead a peaceful life.
[10:00] RUTI
    I'm not sure the Almighty will allow it.
[10:08] YARANDRALA
    So this is where Gideon lives!
[10:10] GODWIN
    Looks like they're out.
[10:12] GODWIN
    Must've skipped work to go on a date.
[10:15] YARANDRALA
    Any idea where they could've gone?
[10:17] GODWIN
    How would I know? I held up my end
    of the deal, so let me go now.
[10:21] GUARD
    Hey, Godwin!
[10:22] GUARD
    I knew it was you!
[10:24] GODWIN
    You've got the wrong person.
[10:26] GUARD
    You're not fooling anyone.
[10:27] GUARD
    I heard you'd broken out of prison,
    but I didn't expect you to waltz back into Zoltan!
[10:31] YARANDRALA
    He broke out? I was told that he was
     friends with Rit and Red's, though.
[10:36] GUARD
    A friend? Not in a million years.
[10:38] GUARD
    He's a criminal who had demons
    attack the Champion Rit,
[10:41] GUARD
    and abducted a child Red and Rit had taken
    under their wing, among other misdeeds!
[10:46] YARANDRALA
    Is that true?
[10:48] YARANDRALA
    Did you also betray him?
[10:50] GODWIN
    "Also"?
[10:51] GODWIN
    Y-You've got it all wrong!
    Sure, we did butt heads at one point, but...
[10:58] GODWIN
    H-Hear me out, please!
[11:03] GODWIN
    W-Wait!
[11:07] GODWIN
    I-It's you!
[11:09] TISSE
    Godwin, what did you do this time?
[11:12] GODWIN
    Not a single thing!
[11:14] GODWIN
    That Yarandrala woman just
    thinks I'm an enemy of Red's!
[11:18] TISSE
    "Yarandrala"?
[11:24] YARANDRALA
    Traitors must be brought to justice.
[11:26] YARANDRALA
    O great monarch of the forests of old!
    Ruler of mana, origin of all!
[11:45] TISSE
    Uh, timeout! No need to go
    all scorched earth on us!
[11:48] GODWIN
    Y-You idiot! What are you doing,
    summoning something that huge here?!
[11:53] TISSE
    Don't provoke her, Lensman!
[12:01] TISSE
    If someone's running wild here,
    then as a Zoltan adventurer,
[12:04] TISSE
    I have a responsibility to stop them!
[12:10] TISSE
    I can't get close enough!
[12:16] MISTORM
    O polar winds, O life-stealing chill!
[12:19] MISTORM
    Blizzard!
[12:27] GODWIN
    Gran—I mean, Miss Mistorm!
[12:31] TISSE
    Do you know her?
[12:32] GODWIN
    She used to be Zoltan's mayor.
[12:34] GODWIN
    For some reason, even the Guild's
    brass think she's something special.
[12:37] MISTORM
    I'm just a retired old
    coot now. That aside...
[12:40] MISTORM
    Looks like my magic isn't
    enough to stop that thing.
[12:43] TISSE
    I'll stop her. Could you back me up?
[12:46] MISTORM
    Yes, of course.
[13:06] YARANDRALA
    Who are you?
[13:07] TISSE
    A friend of Red and Rit's.
[13:10] YARANDRALA
    I don't believe you.
[13:11] TISSE
    Then why don't you go ask them yourself?
[13:14] TISSE
    They left for the Wall at the
    World's End this morning.
[13:20] YARANDRALA
    For what purpose?
[13:22] TISSE
    Red's looking for a gemstone to
    put in the ring he's giving Rit.
[13:26] YARANDRALA
    Ring? Is that true?
[13:29] TISSE
    It is.
[13:37] YARANDRALA
    I see those two are as close as ever.
[13:42] MISTORM
    You had better fix this mess
    before you go, however.
[13:54] MOGRIM
    Hey, are you sure about this?
[13:56] RED
    About what?
[13:57] MOGRIM
    Tiny as they are,
    zoogs are man-eating monsters!
[14:02] RED
    They do attack people at times,
    but they're not going to hurt us.
[14:07] RED
    I'm friends with their elder.
[14:09] RIT
    Red's always got the strangest connections.
[14:12] RIT
    It even surprises me sometimes.
[14:15] RED
    Zoogs know a lot about the
    Wall at the World's End,
[14:17] RED
    so they should know where the
    gem giants' settlement is.
[14:20] ZOOGELDER
    It'sh been a while, Red.
[14:23] RED
    It's good to see you alive and well, Elder.
[14:25] ZOOGELDER
    I know it'sh a long way from Zoltan,
[14:28] ZOOGELDER
    but I wish you would shtop by now and then.
[14:30] RED
    I'm sorry for being away so long.
[14:32] RED
    I, uh, have had a hard time
    getting away from Zoltan.
[14:35] ZOOGELDER
    You've married? That'sh wonderful.
[14:37] RED
    Well, not quite. Though we do plan to.
[14:40] ZOOGELDER
    May your future together and
    our friendship be blesshed.
[14:44] RED
    Indeed. Oh, right.
[14:46] RED
    I've brought you some homemade ham as a gift.
[14:49] ZOOGELDER
    Ooh, we're very grateful.
    We can never get enough meat.
[14:54] ZOOGELDER
    If only we could undershtand busshinesh.
[14:58] ZOOGELDER
    So, Elder, we were hoping
    to see the gem giants.
[15:02] ZOOGELDER
    Could you tell us where their settlement is?
[15:05] ZOOGELDER
    I would be happy to, but pleashe be careful.
[15:10] ZOOGELDER
    The gem giantsh have been
    acting shtrange lately.
[15:14] ZOOGELDER
    They sheem to be angry.
[15:17] RED
    Angry?
[15:18] ZOOGELDER
    Yesh. We don't know the reashon,
    so pleashe be cautioush.
[15:22] RED
    Got it.
[15:24] ZOOG1
    What'sh wrong?
[15:26] ZOOGMOM
    He fell from the tree. Itsh branch broke.
[15:30] ZOOGMOM
    C'mon, it wash just a tumble!
[15:31] RUTI
    Are you okay?
[15:32] ZOOGMOM
    Oh, he'll be fine. Don't worry!
[15:36] ZOOGKID
    I'm better! Thanksh, lady!
[15:38] RIT
    This tree appears to be weakened.
[15:40] RIT
    That must be why the branch snapped.
[15:42] RIT
    The other trees around here don't
    look to be doing great, either.
[15:45] ZOOGELDER
    You can tell?
[15:47] RIT
    The spirits told me.
     I don't know the cause, though.
[15:51] RIT
    Red, can you make some fertilizer?
[15:54] RED
    Yeah. I can cook something
    up with the materials here.
[15:57] RIT
    Great. It'll only be a temporary solution,
    but let's try doing what we can.
[16:02] RIT
    Will that be all right, Elder?
[16:03] ZOOGELDER
    Of courshe! Pleashe do!
[16:24] RIT
    What's on your mind?
[16:26] RED
    Rit... Well...
[16:29] RIT
    Not the ring, I assume?
[16:33] RED
    I was thinking about Ruti's Blessing.
[16:38] RED
    Right now,
[16:40] RED
    her "New Truth" Blessing is canceling out
[16:43] RED
    the Hero Blessing's tendency to strip
    one of their will and individuality.
[16:47] RED
    That's something she's always wanted.
[16:50] RIT
    She'd had the joy of life
    taken away from her.
[16:54] RIT
    She never tired, and she
    didn't need to eat or sleep.
[17:00] RED
    I don't think "New Truth" is something
    she received from the Almighty.
[17:04] RED
    It's probably something
    that came from within her.
[17:07] RED
    And I don't know how or why that happened.
[17:10] RIT
    Red...
[17:12] RED
    There's so much I don't know,
[17:14] RED
    but I do know that I will
    always be on Ruti's side.
[17:18] RIT
    Yeah.
[17:19] RIT
    I'm rooting for her, too.
[17:26] TISSE
    What's the matter?
[17:27] YARANDRALA
    Something's wrong with the plant life here.
[17:30] YARANDRALA
    The farther we walk, the sicker they get.
[17:33] YARANDRALA
    It's like the soil around here has gone bad.
[17:35] TISSE
    The soil?
[17:36] YARANDRALA
    Indeed. Something might be
    happening up in the mountains.
[17:42] YARANDRALA
    Anyway, we should probably set up
     camp around here for tonight.
[17:46] TISSE
    Understood.
[17:50] YARANDRALA
    Tell me something.
[17:51] TISSE
    What is it?
[17:52] YARANDRALA
    Why did you come with me?
[17:55] TISSE
    To show you the way.
[17:57] YARANDRALA
    There was no need for you
    to come all this way.
[18:00] TISSE
    No real reason.
[18:03] TISSE
    If I had to say, it's because I heard
    the Wall has natural hot springs.
[18:10] YARANDRALA
    Is that all?
[18:11] TISSE
    That is all.
[18:14] YARANDRALA
    I see.
[18:15] TISSE
    Yarandrala doesn't know that
    Ruti is with Red and Rit.
[18:20] TISSE
    How will she react when she learns
    that Ruti quit being the Hero?
[18:24] TISSE
    Uh, can I ask you something?
[18:27] YARANDRALA
    What?
[18:28] TISSE
    Why did you become one
    of the Hero's companions?
[18:32] YARANDRALA
    So, you know who I am?
[18:35] TISSE
    Yes. Because I'm friends with Red
    and Rit, and one other person.
[18:40] YARANDRALA
    Which means I'm not mistaken
    about Red's true identity.
[18:44] TISSE
    Correct. It's Gideon.
[18:46] YARANDRALA
    I was sure of it, but it's
    still nice to get confirmation.
[18:51] YARANDRALA
    Thank goodness. He really is alive.
[18:55] YARANDRALA
    You want to know why I joined
    the Hero? It's simple.
[18:59] YARANDRALA
    Because my dear friend, Gideon, was there.
[19:02] TISSE
    That's all?
[19:04] YARANDRALA
    Yes, that's all.
[19:06] YARANDRALA
    What reason could I possibly need
    other than to help a friend?
[19:12] YARANDRALA
    Sure, I would've liked to save the world.
[19:16] YARANDRALA
    And if I could help people
    in need, nothing like it.
[19:19] YARANDRALA
    But that wasn't reason enough to attempt to
    defeat the demon lord with a party of six.
[19:24] YARANDRALA
    That was quite simply absurd.
[19:26] TISSE
    Absurd?
[19:28] YARANDRALA
    Very. Why intentionally
    fight with so few people?
[19:33] YARANDRALA
    The Hero carries the world on her shoulders.
[19:37] YARANDRALA
    If she were to fall,
    it would spell total doom.
[19:39] YARANDRALA
    Leaving things up to her is
    a nonsensical risk to take.
[19:43] TISSE
    So, would you say that there is no need for
    the Hero to keep fighting for the world?
[19:49] YARANDRALA
    I see now.
[19:51] YARANDRALA
    Don't worry. I feel the same way as Gideon.
[19:56] YARANDRALA
    Still, that's quite the surprise.
[20:02] YARANDRALA
    Ruti's here, too, isn't she?
[20:14] RUTI
    Brr!
[20:15] RED
    What say we bring back the old special?
[20:17] RUTI
    Yeah!
[20:23] RED
    Listen, Ruti.
[20:25] RED
    Live your life the way you want.
[20:27] RED
    It doesn't matter if the
    Almighty won't stand for it.
[20:31] RED
    I've always got your back.
[20:34] RUTI
    Okay. Thanks, Big Brother.
[20:37] TISSE
    Ruti.
[20:41] RUTI
    Tisse? Why are you here?
[20:55] YARANDRALA
    Gideon!
[21:12] LJUBO
    Excellent work, Van.
[21:14] LAVENDER
    What did you expect? Van could take
    monsters like this in his sleep!
[21:20] ESTA
    If only we had arrived sooner...
[21:23] ESTA
    There wouldn't have been any casualties.
[21:26] VAN
    No need to be sad.
[21:28] VAN
    This is simply the fulfillment of
     the roles the Almighty has given.
[21:32] ESTA
    What?
[21:33] VAN
    This owlbear's Blessing bound it to
    the fate of attacking this person.
[21:37] VAN
    And this person, in turn,
    was fated to lose his life to it.
[21:41] VAN
    They each had roles to play,
    and they played them to completion.
[21:45] ESTA
    How could getting killed be his "role"?
[21:48] VAN
    But it was. He lived and died
    according to Lord Demis's will.
[21:53] VAN
    They deserve praise, not pity.
[21:59] VAN
    And I will grow stronger
    thanks to their sacrifice.
[22:04] VAN
    All to fulfill my role as Hero
    and rid this world of evil!

    This drink warms you up

    Thank you.

SIGN    The Gem Beast
[01:54] YARANDRALA
    You used to drop by often to drink
    this when we were in Central.
[01:59] YARANDRALA
    It's delicious.
[02:01] YARANDRALA
    Gideon, I'm glad we could
    have such a peaceful reunion.
[02:06] RED
    Sorry I made you worry.
[02:09] YARANDRALA
    Don't be. What's more, I was happy to hear
    that you two are living together now!
[02:17] YARANDRALA
    On that note, I have a suggestion.
[02:20] YARANDRALA
    Would you like to move to the
    Kingdom of Kiramin with me?
[02:24] RED/RIT
    What?
[02:24] RUTI
    Nope.
[02:28] YARANDRALA
    Well, hear me out first.
[02:30] YARANDRALA
    Kiramin is the biggest city-state
    on the continent of Avalon.
[02:35] YARANDRALA
    It lies in the cold northern plains,
    but magic keeps the weather springlike.
[02:41] YARANDRALA
    Most of all, while high elves
    are by no means perfect,
[02:45] YARANDRALA
    we never betray our friends and allies.
[02:49] RED
    Well, that came out of nowhere.
[02:51] YARANDRALA
    Not true!
[02:54] YARANDRALA
    I never could make sense of it.
[02:57] YARANDRALA
    Why were you kicked out of the party when
    you always worked so hard for everyone?
[03:02] RED
    It was inevitable.
    I could no longer keep up in battle.
[03:08] YARANDRALA
    "Inevitable"?! Not you, too!
[03:12] YARANDRALA
    Even if you really had
    turned into dead weight,
[03:15] YARANDRALA
    I wanted to adventure with you.
[03:19] YARANDRALA
    If you were having a tough time,
    I wanted to be your pillar of support.
[03:23] YARANDRALA
    Dumping a guy who's always been there for
    you just because he "stopped being useful"
[03:29] YARANDRALA
    is not an option in my mind!
[03:31] RED
    I appreciate the sentiment, Yarandrala.
[03:34] RED
    But...
[03:35] YARANDRALA
    You too, Rit!
[03:36] YARANDRALA
    You're a Loggervian princess
[03:38] YARANDRALA
    and a hero who has fought
    countless battles for your homeland!
[03:41] YARANDRALA
    Yet you wound up having to leave
    your home all by yourself, too.
[03:45] RIT
    I-I did, but that was my idea.
[03:49] RIT
    Nobody was in the wrong.
[03:51] YARANDRALA
    Well, I wouldn't have let
    you set off alone like that.
[03:57] RIT
    Yarandrala.
[03:59] RIT
    We're thankful for how
    much you care about us,
[04:02] RIT
    but we aren't going to go to Kiramin.
[04:05] YARANDRALA
    Why?!
[04:06] RIT
    Because we're living happy
    lives here in Zoltan.
[04:12] RED
    Yeah.
[04:13] RED
    At first, I only came here because
    I thought nobody would recognize me,
[04:17] RED
    but now, I've developed great
    friendships with the people of Zoltan.
[04:20] YARANDRALA
    What if you get betrayed again, though?
[04:23] RED
    Then that's fine.
[04:27] RED
    When someone invites me out for drinks,
[04:30] RED
    and I say I won't go without Rit,
[04:33] RED
    they'll tease me about it, but then immediately
    start planning a family dinner party.
[04:39] RED
    That kind of relationship
    is more than enough for me.
[04:47] RED
    I know.
[04:48] RED
    Why don't you live in
    Zoltan for a while, too?
[04:52] RIT
    Yeah. It's a really nice place.
[04:55] YARANDRALA
    Maybe, but Kiramin's much better—
[04:59] RED
    It's starting to get a little chilly.
[05:01] RED
    Let's have another cup of tea.
[05:03] TISSE
    In that case...
[05:05] RED
    Tisse?!
[05:06] TISSE
    I know just the place to warm up.
[05:12] YARANDRALA
    This bath is perfect.
[05:15] RIT
    It soothes both the mind and body.
[05:18] RUTI
    Yup. This feels good.
[05:20] RUTI
    And also...
[05:26] RUTI
    Such a pretty view.
[05:31] YARANDRALA
    I'm happy for you, Ruti.
[05:35] RUTI
    Thanks.
[05:37] TISSE
    The water's hot, and the view's unbelievable.
[05:40] TISSE
    This merits a high score.
    I'm going to say 95.
[05:44] RIT
    Where'd it lose the five points?
[05:46] TISSE
    It's much too far from Zoltan.
[05:49] RIT
    Ah.
[05:52] RIT
    I guess.
[05:54] RIT
    We'll be arriving at the
    gem giants' settlement soon.
[05:57] RIT
    I wonder what kind of monsters they are.
[05:59] RUTI
    I hear they gain energy from cutting gems.
[06:03] RIT
    They do?
[06:04] TISSE
    I assume it's like what eating is for us.
[06:09] TISSE
    Something essential for survival.
[06:11] RIT
    Like eating, huh?
[06:13] RIT
    Hup!
[06:16] RIT
    Yum!
[06:17] RIT
    Okay, that's not too relatable.
[06:20] YARANDRALA
    So, the gem giants have the
    stone you're looking for?
[06:23] RIT
    Yeah. We're going to trade the
    Zoltatian glass Red has for a blue sapphire.
[06:30] TISSE
    The artistry in Zoltatian
    glass is unique to Zoltan,
[06:34] TISSE
    so Red was sure they would like it.
[06:37] YARANDRALA
    Huh...
[06:38] YARANDRALA
    Good for you, Rit.
[06:41] YARANDRALA
    Where are Red and the others, by the way?
[06:44] RIT
    Mogrim hates baths to begin with,
[06:47] RIT
    and Red's being considerate
    and using the annex bath.
[06:51] YARANDRALA
    What? He's taking a dip all alone?
[06:54] YARANDRALA
    I feel bad for him!
[06:56] RIT
    Hey, wait, Yarandrala.
[06:58] RIT
    Hold up!
[07:00] YARANDRALA
    Don't be a stranger, Gideon!
[07:01] RIT
    You can't do this, Yarandrala!
[07:04] YARANDRALA
    Hurry up and get in with us already!
[07:09] TISSE
    By the way, milady, are you okay with this?
[07:13] RUTI
    With what?
[07:14] TISSE
    Red and Rit getting married.
[07:17] RUTI
    Oh...
[07:19] RUTI
    Rit's a nice girl, and she'll
    treat my big brother well.
[07:24] RUTI
    I always thought she was the kind
    of person I wanted him to marry.
[07:29] TISSE
    Is that so?
[07:31] TISSE
    Does the thought of their
    marriage not make you lonely?
[07:36] RUTI
    Well, I'm his sister.
[07:38] RUTI
    I can't marry him.
[07:40] RUTI
    So I'll let Rit take the role of his wife.
[07:45] TISSE
    Milady...
[07:48] RUTI
    But I can still be his lover.
[07:54] RUTI
    Big Brother is a giving person.
    He can handle two partners with ease.
[07:59] RUTI
    Rit can be the number one wife,
    and I can be his number one lover.
[08:05] RUTI
    I'm going to join him, too.
[08:18] MOGRIM
    What?!
[08:19] MOGRIM
    You asked Red and them to move to Kiramin?!
[08:22] YARANDRALA
    I did. They can live happier lives there.
[08:28] MOGRIM
    Don't make 'em mingle with
    you lawless high elves!
[08:31] MOGRIM
    They're much better off living
    in Zoltan with us dwarves!
[08:35] MOGRIMYARANDRALA
    Hmph!
[08:36] RIT
    High elves and dwarves really
    don't get along, huh?
[08:46] YARANDRALA
    Are those the gem giants?
[08:49] RIT
    Something seems off with them.
[08:55] CHIEFGIANT
    I'm ashamed to say we have nothing
    to offer to make you feel welcome,
[09:00] CHIEFGIANT
    but please, make yourselves at home.
[09:02] RIT
    Thank you.
[09:03] RED
    We're here to trade for your gems.
[09:05] RED
    And we can offer this Zoltatian glass.
[09:13] CHIEFGIANT
    It's beautiful.
[09:14] CHIEFGIANT
    Truly valuable for us
    as a species. However...
[09:19] CHIEFGIANT
    Unfortunately, we cannot make that trade,
[09:22] CHIEFGIANT
    for we do not have any
    gems to offer in exchange.
[09:34] MOMGIANT
    Stop that!
[09:41] RED
    You can have this.
[09:42] KIDGIANT
    Really?
[09:46] KIDGIANT
    Thanks!
[09:49] KIDGIANT
    Look what I got, Mom!
[10:01] MOGRIM
    Wow...
[10:02] RED
    We have more glass.
[10:04] RED
    It isn't much, but please
    share it amongst yourselves.
[10:10] CHIEFGIANT
    But...
[10:11] RED
    Don't worry about compensating us.
[10:13] RED
    I'm not sure why, but you
    don't have any gems, right?
[10:17] RED
    If this keeps up, you'll all starve to death.
[10:21] RED
    So please accept it.
[10:28] TISSE
    Do not drop them.
[10:31] RUTI
    Don't worry. I've got this.
[10:33] RUTI
    This will put smiles on all their faces.
[10:36] CHIEFGIANT
    Very well.
[10:37] CHIEFGIANT
    We are truly grateful for receiving
    such a blessing in these trying times.
[10:42] CHIEFGIANT
    Our human, dwarven, and high elven friends...
[10:46] CHIEFGIANT
    We promise to you an unchanging friendship
    until the day our tribe dies out.
[10:58] RUTI
    Why do you think Demis
    created them like that?
[11:02] RED
    You mean how they gain
    energy from cutting gems?
[11:06] RUTI
    Yep.
[11:07] RUTI
    The Almighty created this world.
[11:10] RUTI
    Every living being was surely
    crafted with a purpose.
[11:13] RED
    By defeating gem giants, humans can
    obtain gems as their victory spoils.
[11:20] RED
    And maybe they were meant to be enemies
     to fight in order to develop our Blessings.
[11:26] RUTI
    If the Almighty really designed things
    that way, then battle is unavoidable.
[11:30] RUTI
    But...
[11:31] RUTI
    Monsters exist to be more than
    just fodder for Blessings.
[11:35] RUTI
    That's what I would like to believe.
[11:37] RED
    Yeah, I feel the same way.
[11:43] CHIEFGIANT
    It's been a while since we've
    been able to cut our fill.
[11:45] CHIEFGIANT
    You have our heartfelt gratitude.
[11:47] RED
    So, what's happening in your settlement?
[11:52] CHIEFGIANT
    A troublesome beast has started living here.
[11:55] YARANDRALA
    What beast?
[11:56] CHIEFGIANT
    A gem beast—a monster that eats gems.
[12:00] RED
    A gem beast?
[12:01] CHIEFGIANT
    Just by existing, it turns all the gems
    and minerals in its vicinity into lead.
[12:07] RIT
    Lead?
[12:08] CHIEFGIANT
    Indeed.
[12:09] CHIEFGIANT
    And this is that lead.
[12:11] YARANDRALA
    It seems subtly imbued with magic.
[12:14] CHIEFGIANT
    It's also more poisonous now.
[12:18] YARANDRALA
    If this has contaminated the groundwater,
    this entire region is in danger.
[12:23] RUTI
    That may be why the zoogs'
    forest has been weakened.
[12:27] RED
    We need to stop this before
    the damage spreads.
[12:29] RIT
    But we've never heard of this monster before.
[12:33] RIT
    How will we fight it?
[12:35] RED
    I remember reading something in
    historical records before.
[12:38] RED
    It said that a warrior party set out to
    fight a gem beast in the era of wood elves.
[12:44] MOGRIM
    How did those warriors defeat it?
[12:46] RED
    Nah, they didn't.
[12:48] MOGRIM
    What?!
[12:50] RED
    Most of the wood elves in the battle died,
[12:52] RED
    and only a handful of
    warriors managed to escape.
[12:56] TISSE
    So, no one has ever defeated that thing?
[13:00] CHIEFGIANT
    Our fighters fell to it, too.
[13:03] CHIEFGIANT
    There is no guarantee
    you would return alive.
[13:06] RED
    Still...
[13:07] RED
    We can't let it be.
[13:12] MOGRIM
    This must be the southern mine
    the tribal chief mentioned.
[13:17] RIT
    There are still gems remaining here.
[13:20] RUTI
    The beast may show up to consume them.
[13:22] RED
    The thing's apparently huge...
[13:25] RED
    But there are plenty of hiding spots here,
[13:28] RED
    and we brought a whole bunch of potions, too.
[13:32] MOGRIM
    Never seen this rock before.
[13:34] RED
    Mogrim, try to stick close!
[13:36] MOGRIM
    Right! My bad!
[13:44] RUTI
    Big Brother!
[13:57] RED
    The rock wall turned to lead?!
[14:27] YARANDRALA
    So that's the gem beast.
[14:40] RED
    Ruti?!
[14:43] RUTI
    Sacred Shield.
[14:52] RUTI
    It's shattering.
[14:57] RED
    Ruti!
[15:07] YARANDRALA
    Thorn Bind!
[15:33] RED
    It must have a vulnerability somewhere.
[15:56] RED
    The impact was weaker than I expected.
[15:59] RED
    Given how big it is, it could've
    made the entire mountain crumble.
[16:03] RED
    Is it propping up its whole body with magic?
[16:08] RUTI
    My Sacred Shield?
[16:17] YARANDRALA
    My Thorn Bind?
[16:26] YARANDRALA
    Are you kidding me?!
[16:28] RUTI
    Sacred Shield.
[16:34] TISSE
    It can replicate its opponents' magic spells?
[16:39] YARANDRALA
    What a troublesome foe.
[16:47] YARANDRALA
    It can use fire and water magic
    at the same time? That's absurd!
[16:50] YARANDRALA
    What's going on with its Blessing?!
[16:55] RUTI
    Wait, could the gem beast be...
[16:57] RED
    ...using multiple Blessings to
    boost its physical abilities.
[17:01] RED
    That's why it can reflect physical and
    magical attacks, and support its massive weight.
[17:06] RED
    In which case...
[17:08] YARANDRAMA
    You don't mean...
[17:31] RUTI
    Sacred Shield.
[17:40] MOGRIM
    Did that work?!
[17:45] RIT
    What now, Red?
[17:47] RIT
    Lowering its Blessing level might help.
[17:51] RIT
    For that...
[17:52] YARANDRALA
    We need the wild elves' medicine, yes?
[17:54] RED
    Yeah. I think this is our best bet.
[17:57] RIT
    Is that the thing you used against Ademi?
[17:59] RED
    That's right. But making it
    drink this won't be easy.
[18:03] YARANDRALA
    I'll stop it.
[18:05] RED
    Use this.
[18:05] YARANDRALA
    Thanks.
[18:11] YARANDRALA
    O origin of mana, ruler of all creation...
[18:15] YARANDRALA
    Great spirit of the mighty tree!
[18:41] RIT
    Take that!
[19:04] RED
    This thing can't even stand
    without its Blessings?
[19:32] MOGRIM
    Man...
[19:33] MOGRIM
    I didn't expect to find this beauty
    inside the gem beast's body.
[19:37] RED
    I'm glad you got the earth
    crystal you came for.
[19:41] MOGRIM
    Aye! With this, the childbirth
    should go smoothly.
[19:46] RED
    On the other hand...
[19:51] RIT
    Wow.
[19:52] RIT
    Such a pretty view.
[19:53] RED
    Yeah.
[19:54] MOGRIM
    I'll be home soon.
[19:56] MOGRIM
    Wait for me!
[20:03] YARANDRALA
    Red, Rit, you two are content
    with your current lives, yes?
[20:07] RED
    Yeah.
[20:08] RED
    I plan to continue leading a perfectly
    normal life together with Rit.
[20:13] YARANDRALA
    And you can do that in Zoltan?
[20:16] RED
    Yeah.
[20:17] RED
    For the first time in my life,
    I'm living for myself.
[20:22] YARANDRALA
    Good to know.
[20:24] YARANDRALA
    I've decided to try living
    in Zoltan for a while.
[20:28] RIT
    What? Really?
[20:30] YARANDRALA
    I've taken an interest in the place
    that gives you two so much joy.
[20:34] RED
    Yeah? We'd love to have you!
[20:36] YARANDRALA
    Is that okay, Ruti?
[20:39] RUTI
    Of course.
[20:40] RIT
    Better get everyone together
    for a welcoming party.
[20:43] MOGRIM
    Hurry up! Or I'll leave you behind!
[20:49] VAN
    Ljubo.
[20:51] VAN
    I believe I am plenty strong now.
[20:53] VAN
    I would like to join the front lines as
    the hero and fight the demon lord's army.
[20:59] LJUBO
    Van, you mustn't rush things.
[21:02] LJUBO
    We should plan everything out
    and execute it flawlessly.
[21:05] LJUBO
    I have prepared a new battlefield for you.
[21:09] LJUBO
    Head out with Esta to defeat this monster...
[21:13] LJUBO
    Come in.
[21:16] LJUBO
    It's fine.
[21:19] UNDERLING
    There has been a sighting of the
     former demon lord's airship.
[21:23] VAN
    The demon lord's vessel?!
[21:25] UNDERLING
    It was supposedly headed for
    the remote town of Zoltan.
[21:31] VAN
    Zoltan...
[21:33] LJUBO
    Kiggith should be back
    from his scouting mission.
[21:37] LJUBO
    Have him head to Zoltan.
[21:40] UNDERLING
    Sire.
[21:42] VAN
    Ljubo—
[21:43] ESTA
    Building strength suitable for a hero and
    leveling up your Blessing comes first.
[21:49] LJUBO
    Precisely.
[21:50] LJUBO
    Stick to the plan and go monster
    hunting with Esta for the time being.
[21:55] LJUBO
    I'll make sure Zoltan is
    thoroughly investigated.
[21:59] LJUBO
    Oh, don't you worry.
[22:02] LJUBO
    I'll draft up a brand-new plan for you, too.

    Could you head to Zoltan for me?
[02:21] ESTA
    Red must be informed of these events.
[02:23] ALBERT
    Very well.
[02:25] ALBERT
    Is the new "hero" the real deal?
[02:31] ESTA
    The saint appraised him, and the Church's
     leadership have recognized him as such,
[02:36] ESTA
    so I would surmise that he must be...
[02:39] ESTA
    But he is nothing like Ruti.
[02:42] ESTA
    All we can do now is wait and see.
[02:45] ALBERT
    I understand. I'll do what I can to help.
[02:52] ESTA
    Thank you, Albert.
[02:54] ESTA
    I'm glad you're here for me.
[03:04] RED
    Welcome.
[03:05] NAO
    I'll take some of your new concoction.
[03:09] RED
    The dragonshroom essence?
[03:11] NAO
    Yep, yep!
[03:13] NAO
    That drink really gives
    you a burst of energy!
[03:15] RED
    It's not every day you visit so early, Nao.
[03:20] NAO
    Today's festival day.
[03:22] NAO
    If I waste any time, the day
    will be over before I know it.
[03:27] RED
    Let me throw in some for Mido and Gonz, too.
[03:29] NAO
    Thanks, Red!
[03:36] RED
    That should do it.
[03:38] RED
    Are you ready to go, Rit?
[03:41] RIT
    Coming!
[03:49] RIT
    I'm here.
[03:51] RIT
    How do I look?
[03:52] RED
    You look great.
[03:55] RIT
    I love how you look in that coat, too!
[03:59] RED
    Shall we get going, then?
[04:02] RIT
    Do you have what Zeff asked for?
[04:04] RED
    Got it right here.
[04:06] RIT
    Let's go, then.
[04:13] RIT
    Wow... Talk about the festival spirit.
[04:17] RED
    Today's the Drake Rider and
    Saint Licinius's Solstice Festival,
[04:21] RED
    based on an Avalonian legend.
[04:24] RED
    Even the Zoltanians, who tend
    to laze around during the day,
[04:27] RED
    are out living it up from the
    morning on this special day.
[04:30] GONZ
    Hey, Red!
[04:35] GONZ
    You having fun?
[04:37] RED
    Hey, Gonz. Looks like you're in a good mood.
[04:41] GONZ
    Of course. It's a festival.
[04:43] GONZ
    Everyone's off work. And...
[04:51] GONZ
    I'm taking tomorrow off for the hangover.
[04:53] RED
    Tomorrow, too?
[04:55] GONZ
    Who goes to work the day after a party?
[04:59] TANTA
    You tell them, Gonz! What a man's man!
[05:02] RED
    No... Even Tanta's going to
    grow up to be a good-for-nothing.
[05:07] RED
    Tanta.
[05:08] TANTA
    What is it, Red?
[05:11] RED
    I'm going to be back on the job tomorrow.
[05:14] TANTA
    C'mon, just take the day off.
[05:16] TANTA
    I mean, look at that.
[05:22] RIT
    This is how the Drake Rider and Saint Licinius's
    Solstice Festival goes in Zoltan, huh?
[05:28] TANTA
    Is it different where you're from, Rit?
[05:30] RIT
    Yeah. It was a lot more
    formal back in Loggarvia.
[05:33] TANTA
    Huh...
[05:36] RIT
    The objective is the same—the Drake Rider
    and Saint repelling the winter demon—
[05:42] RIT
    but it's great how different
    regions do it differently.
[05:45] TANTA
    Here, we sing, dance, and party with all
    our hearts to chase the winter demon away.
[05:51] TANTA
    That's the Zoltan way.
[05:53] GONZ
    It really does a number on you.
[05:55] GONZ
    That's why I gotta take tomorrow off.
[06:00] RIT
    That makes sense.
[06:02] RIT
    Let's take the day off.
[06:03] RED
    Rit...
[06:05] GONZ/TANTA/RIT
    Take the day off!
[06:07] GONZ/TANTA/RIT
    Take the day off!
[06:09] GONZ/TANTA/RIT
    Take the day off!
[06:10] GONZ/TANTA/RIT
    Take the day off!
[06:12] GONZ/TANTA/RIT
    Take the day off!
[06:13] RED
    Fine, I get it.
[06:15] RED
    I bet all of Zoltan will be out of
    commission tomorrow anyway.
[06:18] RED
    Guess we can take it easy.
[06:21] RIT/TANTA
    Yay!
[06:23] RUTI/TISSE
    Yay.
[06:26] RUTI
    We'll take the day off, too.
[06:28] TISSE
    Uh...
[06:29] TISSE
    Okay.
[06:33] RED
    How could this be? Ruti and Tisse
    grew up to be good-for-nothings, too.
[06:38] RIT
    Isn't this fun?
[06:41] RED
    I guess it's okay.
[06:50] MEGRIA
    This soothes the soul.
[06:52] OPARARA
    I guess...
[06:54] MEGRIA
    Oparara?
[06:56] MEGRIA
    Are you done already?
[06:58] OPARARA
    L-Like hell I am!
[07:00] OPARARA
    If that's a joke, it ain't funny, Megria!
[07:02] OPARARA
    I'm just gettin' started here!
[07:04] MEGRIA
    Oh, that's good to hear.
[07:08] MEGRIA
    Hup.
[07:09] OPARARA
    Ack!
[07:14] MEGRIA
    That smells great.
[07:27] MEGRIA
    Are you all right?
[07:29] OPARARA
    Thanks, I needed a drink.
[07:36] RED
    Do you two have the day off?
[07:38] MEGRIA
    Yes. Well, the Adventurers' Guild does, at least.
[07:42] OPARARA
    Meanwhile...
[07:44] OPARARA
    I'll be taking my cart out like always.
[07:48] OPARARA
    My oden's busy gettin' real
    tasty in the pot right now,
[07:55] OPARARA
    so I came here to sweat out and detox.
[07:59] TISSE
    I know what you mean.
[08:00] TISSE
    Oden can taste entirely different
    based on how long it's cooked.
[08:04] WILLIAM
    Hold it, kid!
[08:05] LEON
    Let me go! I didn't do anything wrong!
[08:09] WILLIAM
    Did you not see me standing right here?
[08:12] LEON
    Like hell you were! Quit lying!
[08:14] WILLIAM
    Say what?
[08:15] LEON
    Hmph!
[08:17] RED
    What's wrong?
[08:19] WILLIAM
    This kid cut in line.
[08:21] LEON
    I-I was there first!
[08:23] LEON
    You're the one who cut in line!
[08:25] WILLIAM
    Huh? What was that, you shrimp?
[08:29] LEON
    Don't you mock me!
[08:39] LEON
    Ademi...
[08:41] ADEMI
    Don't do that. You could've hurt him.
[08:48] ADEMI
    I apologize for the trouble.
[08:52] ADEMI
    His Blessing awakened recently,
    so he's still a little unstable.
[08:57] ADEMI
    You apologize, too.
[08:59] LEON
    I'm sorry!
[09:01] WILLIAM
    Don't be. I got a little worked up, too.
[09:05] WILLIAM
    You can't be blamed for
    your Blessing's impulses.
[09:09] RED
    "Can't be blamed for your
    Blessing's impulses," huh?
[09:14] RIT
    Ademi's grown up to be a fine young man.
[09:17] RED
    Yeah.
[09:18] YARANDRALA
    Red!
[09:20] YARANDRALA
    Everyone!
[09:23] TISSE
    I see something bouncing around over there.
[09:27] YARANDRALA
    Hey!
[09:28] RED
    Over here!
[09:29] RED
    Yarandrala!
[09:30] YARANDRALA
    Rit!
[09:34] YARANDRALA
    The town's really livened up today, huh?
[09:38] RED
    Glad you're enjoying yourself.
[09:39] YARANDRALA
    There are so many stalls
    I've never seen before.
[09:42] YARANDRALA
    Look!
[09:43] YARANDRALA
    They said this sacred mask was
    made by a legendary great sage!
[09:48] TISSE
    Uh, Yarandrala? How old are you, again?
[09:52] YARANDRALA
    Hm...
[09:53] YARANDRALA
    Some might see me as a
    young lass of around 50!
[09:58] TISSE
    An elf joke... That's a new one.
[10:06] OPARARA
    Come one, come all!
[10:14] OPARARA
    Hey, bossman!
[10:16] OPARARA
    You never told me you knew a Kiramin elf!
[10:19] RED
    A Kiramin elf?
[10:20] OPARARA
    We elves refer to one another
    by the place we were born.
[10:25] OPARARA
    So that makes me a Zoltan elf.
[10:27] RED
    I'm amazed you can tell where she's from.
[10:29] OPARARA
    We just kinda know.
[10:31] OPARARA
    Even among high elves,
    Kiramin elves are special.
[10:35] OPARARA
    How is a country bumpkin like
    me supposed to talk to her?
[10:39] OPARARA
    There are alarm bells going off in my head!
[10:41] YARANDRALA
    Oparara?
[10:43] OPARARA
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[10:44] YARANDRALA
    I certainly am from Kiramin,
    but that doesn't mean anything.
[10:51] RUTI
    It's okay.
[10:52] RUTI
    Yarandrala's my friend,
[10:56] RUTI
    so don't worry about all that.
[10:59] OPARARA
    Ruti!
[11:01] YARANDRALA
    Anyway, can I have some oden? I'm starving.
[11:06] OPARARA
    You betcha!
[11:08] OPARARA
    What will it be?
[11:10] OPARARA
    I've got some fresh octopus today.
[11:12] OPARARA
    The fish balls have my seal of approval, too!
[11:13] RED
    I'll have some, then. And some burdock.
[11:17] RUTI
    I'll have the octopus and some egg.
[11:19] TISSE
    I'll have the same as Ms. Ruti.
[11:21] TISSE
    And four fish paste grills, please.
[11:24] RIT
    Uh, as for me...
[11:26] RIT
    I'll have the octopus,
    egg, burdock, fish balls,
[11:28] RIT
    squid balls, radish, and beef tendon.
[11:30] RIT
    And also fish cake, seaweed, jelly strings...
[11:35] RIT
    And a cake pouch!
[11:36] RED
    That's a pretty big order.
[11:38] RIT
    It all just sounded so good.
[11:41] RED
    How about you, Yarandrala?
[11:42] YARANDRALA
    Hm... I'll have what you're having.
[11:46] YARANDRALA
    Octopus and burdock.
    And add some fish balls, please.
[11:51] OPARARA
    Right away!
[11:53] OPARARA
    Here you are!
[11:55] ALL
    Let's eat!
[11:57] OPARARA
    Add this here and it'll taste twice as good!
[12:01] RED
    Hey, we didn't order something so expensive.
[12:04] OPARARA
    It's from the lady over here.
[12:07] RED
    Ruti?!
[12:08] RUTI
    Yep.
[12:10] RED
    Wait, wait. I can't let my
    little sister pay for me.
[12:14] RUTI
    I happen to be a hotshot
    B-ranked adventurer, you know?
[12:18] RUTI
    And guess who just got paid.
[12:21] RED
    What's in that bag?
[12:23] RUTI
    You told me to live as I wanted.
[12:26] RUTI
    And right now, I want you all
    to enjoy some yummy oden.
[12:32] RED
    You're both sharing that money, right?
    Stop her or she'll use all of it.
[12:36] TISSE
    What she decides goes.
[12:51] RED
    Okay, I'll help myself, Ruti.
[12:54] RUTI
    Good.
[13:11] GODWIN
    Ack!
[13:12] YARANDRALA
    Oh!
[13:16] MISTORM
    No need to run.
    You're Zoltan's representative.
[13:19] MISTORM
    Act like it!
[13:21] GODWIN
    Ouch!
[13:23] YARANDRALA
    What kind of representative is he?
[13:25] RED
    When we visited the zoogs,
[13:28] RED
    the elder said they were having
    trouble due to a lack of trade.
[13:31] YARANDRALA
    Huh...
[13:33] RED
    Godwin will be handling that from now on.
[13:37] GODWIN
    I owe ya big-time, Red.
[13:41] RED
    And he'd be fine even if he ran
    into monsters on the way there.
[13:44] TISSE
    Can this guy really be trusted?
[13:47] GODWIN
    Of course I can! Trust is my middle name!
[13:49] MISTORM
    He's got the skills, at least.
[13:52] MISTORM
    You'd better work hard to
    make up for what you did.
[13:57] RED
    Looks like it's time for the grand finale.
[14:00] YARANDRALA
    Let's go!
[14:10] OTTO
    Gah!
[14:11] OTTO
    Follow the script and go down already!
[14:17] OTTO
    Oh?
[14:18] OTTO
    Is that you,
[14:19] OTTO
    my beloved lady warrior?!
[14:21] RED
    Who's that?
[14:22] RUTI
    No idea.
[14:23] OTTO
    Gah! I can't see her!
[14:26] RED
    He's staring at you, though.
[14:30] TISSE
    He's the guy you threw off the
    bridge on the way to Zoltan.
[14:35] RUTI
    Oh.
[14:38] RUTI
    Don't remember.
[14:41] OTTO
    My name is Otto!
[14:43] OTTO
    Please remember it we—
[14:45] RED
    Huh?
[14:47] RED
    Is that you, Danan?
[14:53] DANAN
    Heya, Red.
[14:55] YARANDRALA
    It's been too long, Danan!
[14:57] DANAN
    Hey. I hear you'll be staying
    in Zoltan for a while.
[15:01] YARANDRALA
    What happened to your arm?
[15:03] DANAN
    It's not a big deal.
[15:04] YARANDRALA
    It looks like a big deal!
[15:07] YARANDRALA
    Are you okay?
[15:08] DANAN
    I'm fine.
[15:10] DANAN
    I wanted to head out already,
[15:12] DANAN
    but the doc kept nagging
    me about staying put.
[15:15] YARANDRALA
    So much for that!
[15:17] DANAN
    This counts as staying put for me.
[15:22] OTTO
    Cursed winter demon! Where did it go?!
[15:26] DANAN
    Whoops, gotta play my role till the end.
[15:58] VILLAGER
    Man, I wish there was a way
    to make some easy money.
[16:01] WOLF
    Maybe if there was some
    hidden treasure in Zoltan.
[16:04] VILLAGER
    Right?
[16:05] KAI
    Like an airship or something!
[16:09] VILLAGER2
    In your dreams.
[16:11] KAI
    D'aww.
[16:31] RUTI
    Big Brother.
[16:33] RUTI
    Thanks for today. I had lots of fun.
[16:38] RED
    Really? Glad to hear it.
[16:43] RED
    But there's still something we haven't done.
[16:49] RED
    Shall we dance?
[16:51] RUTI
    Me? Dance with you?
[16:56] RUTI
    Okay.
[16:58] RUTI
    But the last time I danced was
    before you became a knight.
[17:04] RUTI
    I won't be good at it.
[17:06] RED
    It's not about how good you are at it.
[17:09] RED
    It's how much fun you have dancing.
[17:11] RED
    Now, come.
[17:17] RUTI
    Okay.
[17:21] RUTI
    Is this okay?
[17:23] RED
    What's up?
[17:25] RUTI
    Am I really allowed to feel this happy?
[17:32] RED
    I say it's fine.
[17:35] RED
    You've endured so much pain
    to make others happy.
[17:41] RED
    I think it's about time
    you let yourself feel happy.
[17:46] RUTI
    Big Brother...
[17:49] RUTI
    Thank you.
[17:59] LJUBO
    Would you like some wine?
[18:01] ESTA
    No, I'm quite all right.
[18:03] LJUBO
    How is Van in your eyes?
[18:06] ESTA
    He goes beyond my expectations in many ways.
[18:09] LJUBO
    Is that so?
[18:11] ESTA
    Looking at the records you gave me,
[18:14] ESTA
    he is growing at an unbelievable pace.
[18:16] ESTA
    But that only makes sending him to
    Zoltan seem like a waste of time.
[18:22] LJUBO
    Have you been to Zoltan?
[18:25] ESTA
    Only briefly.
[18:27] ESTA
    That land has no economic
    or historical significance.
[18:30] ESTA
    It has nothing.
[18:32] ESTA
    Even if the demon lord's airship is there,
[18:35] ESTA
    what purpose would it serve for Van?
[18:38] LJUBO
    We need to ascertain that, which is
    why information is of the essence.
[18:44] LJUBO
    Should the airship be found,
    I'm sure we will require your help.
[18:52] LJUBO
    I'll be counting on you,
[18:55] LJUBO
    Escarlata.
[19:02] RIT
    The festival's over...
[19:04] RED
    It'll be back next year.
[19:07] RIT
    Will we see it together next year?
[19:09] RED
    Of course.
[19:10] RIT
    And the year after that?
[19:13] RED
    Still together.
[19:29] RIT
    What's that?
[19:31] RED
    A gift for you.
[19:36] RIT
    Wait...
[19:37] RED
    Well, you know, I couldn't
    get you that blue sapphire,
[19:42] RED
    but this is my way of promising you
    I'll get you that ring someday.
[19:46] RIT
    So, it's an engagement necklace?
[19:48] RED
    Yeah.
[19:50] RIT
    Here.
[19:51] RIT
    Put it on for me.
[19:52] RED
    S-Sure.
[20:01] RIT
    How does it look?
[20:04] RED
    It looks great.
[20:06] RED
    You're beautiful.
[20:10] RIT
    Sheesh!
[20:13] RIT
    This is no fair!
[20:15] RED
    Rit?
[20:16] RIT
    You tell me to wait for a ring
    but get me something so pretty?
[20:21] RIT
    That's no fair! I love you!
[20:25] RIT
    You'd better take responsibility for
    drawing all this love out of me.
[20:32] RED
    How would you have me do that?
[20:34] RIT
    You and I...
[20:37] RIT
    We'll sleep in tomorrow.
[20:42] RED
    You're no fair yourself.
[20:54] KAI
    There's no information
    about the airship anywhere.
[20:57] KAI
    Maybe we need to go harder.
[20:59] WOLF
    Don't. Causing a ruckus will only
    make it harder for us to make a move.
[21:07] KAI
    It's you!
[21:09] WOLF
    Run!
[21:13] TISSE
    Mr. Crawly Wawly.
[21:18] KAI
    Wh-What's Tisse doing here?!
[21:21] WOLF
    Something must be going on here in Zoltan.
[21:27] KAI
    What the heck is all this?!
[21:40] KAI
    Oh, crap.
[21:55] TISSE
    Are you...

    the Former Hero and the Assassin
[01:12] RUTI
    I go to sleep at night and
    wake up in the morning.
[01:15] RUTI
    It's one of the small joys in life.
[01:46] RUTI
    Morning stretches complete.
[01:49] RUTI
    The brightness of the morning sun.
[01:52] RUTI
    The pleasure of exercise.
[01:54] RUTI
    The spotlessness of a
    place freshly cleaned...
[01:57] RUTI
    These were all things I had once cast aside,
    deeming them unnecessary for a hero.
[02:01] RUTI
    But I get to experience them thanks to
    "New Truth," the new Blessing created within me.
[02:07] RUTI
    Almighty Demis didn't
    bestow me with New Truth.
[02:12] RUTI
    It's less a blessing and more
    a power born of my free will.
[02:16] RUTI
    At least, that's what I believe.
[02:19] RUTI
    Now this is the slow life.
[02:22] RUTI
    Morning, Mr. Crawly Wawly.
[02:41] TISSE
    The herb farm is starting to come together.
[02:44] RUTI
    Yep.
[02:45] RUTI
    But I couldn't have done
    it without you, Tisse.
[02:47] TISSE
    I have no experience growing herbs,
[02:51] TISSE
    so I'm not sure I'm actually being useful.
[02:53] RUTI
    Two heads are better than one.
[02:59] TISSE
    I really didn't expect you
    to propose this, though.
[03:07] RUTI
    Adventuring is my side gig.
[03:09] RUTI
    Growing herbs will be my main job.
[03:11] TISSE
    Are you doing this to help Red?
[03:16] RUTI
    That's a big part of it.
[03:18] RUTI
    But mostly, I just wanted to do something
    that didn't involve my battle prowess.
[03:25] TISSE
    That's wonderful.
[03:27] RUTI
    About last night—
[03:28] TISSE
    Well, let's get to work.
[03:32] TISSE
    Miss Ruti!
[03:37] TISSE
    Can you tell what's wrong, Mr. Crawly Wawly?
[03:42] TISSE
    The soil is stone cold, apparently.
[03:45] RUTI
    It's true. But why?
[03:48] TISSE
    We lack the knowledge to fix this.
[03:50] TISSE
    We should ask Red to take a look.
[03:54] RED
    Looks like the growth of
    cold mold is the cause.
[03:57] RUTI
    Cold mold? Like the stuff
    that grows in caves?
[04:01] RED
    Yeah.
[04:02] RED
    It absorbs heat from everything close by.
[04:05] RED
    Only the huge colonies can
    cause problems to adventurers,
[04:09] RED
    but on farms, even trace
    amounts can cause disease.
[04:13] RED
    These issues are part and parcel
    of starting a farm, unfortunately.
[04:16] RUTI
    Right.
[04:18] RED
    But because you noticed it
    and came to me immediately,
[04:22] RED
    we may be able to fix this.
[04:25] RED
    Will you help me out?
[04:26] RUTI
    Of course. This is my herb farm.
[05:01] RED
    All done. Great job.
[05:03] RED
    If the chemicals we sprayed
    get rid of the cold mold,
[05:06] RED
    the herbs should recover in time.
[05:08] RUTI
    Good.
[05:10] RED
    Let's show some faith in your herbs.
[05:13] RUTI
    Right. Thank you, Big Brother.
[05:16] RED
    Sure.
[05:18] TISSE
    Miss Ruti has changed.
[05:21] RED
    She sure has. Look how hard she's
    trying to save these young herbs.
[05:27] RED
    You never could've seen her like
    this back when she was the Hero.
[05:30] TISSE
    This is her ideal vision of a slow life.
[05:36] TISSE
    But I...
[05:48] RED
    The two of them will be fine.
[05:52] TISSE
    I'm Tisse.
[05:54] TISSE
    A member of the Assassins' Guild,
[05:56] TISSE
    and an assassin with nefarious
    plans to oversleep this morning.
[06:04] TISSE
    G-Good morning.
[06:06] RUTI
    Morning.
[06:07] RUTI
    What are your plans for the day?
[06:09] TISSE
    Tending to the herbs.
[06:11] RUTI
    I took care of that already. What else?
[06:17] TISSE
    Nothing in particular.
[06:20] RUTI
    Good. I want you to accompany me today.
[06:25] TISSE
    For what?
[06:28] RUTI
    A very important task.
[06:33] TISSE
    Huh? Why are we having
    breakfast like always?
[06:43] TISSE
    And why are we taking a bath now?
[06:47] RUTI
    Tisse...
[06:51] TISSE
    Y-Yes?
[06:53] RUTI
    You like baths.
[07:03] TISSE
    E-
[07:04] TISSE
    Enough to write my own review book, yes.
[07:08] RUTI
    Big Brother's cooking is
    the best in the world.
[07:12] TISSE
    It is very delicious, yes.
[07:15] RUTI
    So you get it.
[07:16] TISSE
    Get what?!
[07:19] RUTI
    Hook, line, and sinker.
[07:24] TISSE
    Something's going down,
    and I don't know what!
[07:32] TISSE
    I wonder what this very important task is.
[07:35] RUTI
    Big Brother bought me a hairpin here.
[07:38] TISSE
    It's very nice.
[07:41] RUTI
    Yep.
[07:46] TISSE
    Is she telling me this is a crime
    scene and to stay on my toes?!
[07:51] TISSE
    I'll keep my eyes peeled.
[07:54] RUTI
    Good.
[07:57] LADY
    Eek!
[07:58] GUY
    A drake's running wild!
[08:04] TISSE
    I'll stop it.
[08:06] RUTI
    No. I'll handle it.
[08:08] TISSE
    But it might become a big mess...
[08:13] RUTI
    Sit.
[08:17] GUY
    That thing's sent many a trainer
[08:18] GUY
    to the hospital, and she made it sit!
[08:18] LADY
    Look, that unruly beast is
    acting like a house cat!
[08:21] TISSE
    Yeah, I knew she'd draw attention.
[08:28] RUTI
    The scenery here is very pretty.
[08:31] RUTI
    And there's always a
    pleasant breeze blowing by.
[08:33] TISSE
    Is that so?
[08:36] TISSE
    So, is this where the important task is?
[08:42] TISSE
    Miss Ruti?
[08:45] RUTI
    You there.
[08:48] RUTI
    There's a monster lying dormant underground.
[08:50] RUTI
    It needs to be dealt with.
[08:52] MAN
    Huh? Where did that come from?
[08:54] RUTI
    Don't say I didn't warn you.
[09:06] TISSE
    A man-eating earthworm!
[09:07] TISSE
    It attacks and devours any people it finds
     when it awakens from hibernation!
[09:12] RUTI
    Hi-yah.
[09:19] BOY
    Holy cow!
[09:21] MAN
    Would you happen to be Zoltan's
    strongest adventurer, Miss Ruti?!
[09:25] RUTI
    Anybody could've executed that chop.
[09:28] RUTI
    I'm a perfectly run-of-the-mill adventurer.
[09:30] TISSE
    Splitting a man-eating earthworm in two
    with your bare hands won't go unnoticed.
[09:39] TISSE
    Now we're at the theater.
[09:41] TISSE
    What happened to the task?
[09:44] RUTI
    The lead's acting in this
    play is the talk of the town.
[09:47] RUTI
    I'm sure it'll be fun.
[09:48] TISSE
    It's the story of a knight and a
    bandit falling for the same woman.
[09:53] HEROINE
    Stop it, you two!
    We all go way back, don't we?
[09:58] TISSE
    What a tense development.
[10:00] TISSE
    Huh?
[10:07] RUTI
    That sword has been cursed.
[10:09] RUTI
    You should throw it away at once.
[10:11] KNIGHT
    Don't give me that!
[10:13] KNIGHT
    My acting has improved so much
    since I got my hands on this thing!
[10:17] KNIGHT
    Like hell I'm just gonna throw it all away!
[10:23] RUTI
    A devil of arts.
[10:25] RUTI
    They possess people and bestow them with
    talent in exchange for their lifespan.
[10:34] RUTI
    I'm just your friendly neighborhood
    adventurer. Very ordinary.
[10:38] TISSE
    Wow! Who could've ever expected that the
    two were fighting because of a devil?!
[10:45] HEROINE
    The play isn't over yet!
[10:47] HEROINE
    Use this!
[10:50] HEROINE
    Adventurer! Please save the person I love!
[11:05] TISSE
    She's drawing attention like never before.
[11:08] TISSE
    The audience will probably never
    forget this for as long as they live.
[11:21] TISSE
    You gave out a bunch of autographs.
[11:23] RUTI
    I wasn't trying to draw attention.
[11:25] TISSE
    I hear the play's switching to a screenplay
    featuring the Adventurer Ruti tomorrow.
[11:31] RUTI
    Oh...
[11:32] OPARARA
    Here you are!
[11:35] TISSE
    You're well known as a Zoltan adventurer now.
[11:39] TISSE
    I don't think it's anything to worry about.
[11:41] RUTI
    But today was important.
[11:45] TISSE
    What were you even trying to do today?
[11:51] TISSE
    Huh? Miss Ruti's feeling down for once.
[11:55] RUTI
    The day's not done yet.
    There's time to turn things around.
[11:58] TISSE
    Can we?
[11:59] RUTI
    Yeah.
[12:04] RUTI
    So, how are things lately?
[12:21] RUTI
    Anything bothering you?
[12:23] TISSE
    Er... I'm a little concerned about how
    strange you've been acting today.
[12:30] RUTI
    Nothing ever goes right.
[12:32] TISSE
    Um, what's the matter?
[12:37] RUTI
    It seemed like you've been
     worried about something lately,
[12:41] RUTI
    so I planned today to help
     take your mind off things.
[12:44] RUTI
    And then, I was going to treat you to
    your favorite oden and hear you vent.
[12:50] TISSE
    Is that so...
[12:52] RUTI
    Yep. But it didn't go too well...
[12:56] RUTI
    I think.
[12:58] TISSE
    She's so strong that today's events
    all felt inconsequential to her.
[13:03] TISSE
    So she never even considered that
    they would cause such a scene.
[13:07] TISSE
    She really is abnormal.
[13:09] TISSE
    But...
[13:12] TISSE
    You're too kind.
[13:14] RUTI
    I keep messing things up.
[13:16] RUTI
    You're always having to clean up after me.
[13:18] TISSE
    Has that been bothering you?
[13:23] RUTI
    I did my best to keep a low profile
    by not using any special skills.
[13:27] RUTI
    I also kept insisting that
    I was an ordinary adventurer.
[13:29] TISSE
    I get the feeling it had the opposite effect.
[13:33] RUTI
    Oh...
[13:34] TISSE
    But you're a lot better off than before.
[13:37] RUTI
    You thought I was even worse than this?
[13:41] TISSE
    I tore my hair out when you threw
    that knight off the bridge.
[13:45] RUTI
    Grr.
[13:49] TISSE
    Thank you very much, Miss Ruti.
[13:53] TISSE
    No need to worry about me.
[13:55] TISSE
    It'll all be over by morning.
[14:03] KIGGITH
    What are you doing?
[14:06] WOLF
    We've finished investigating the airship,
    so we're writing up a report.
[14:13] KIGGITH
    Leave out any and all information
    about Tisse. Delete this.
[14:16] KAI
    No can do.
[14:19] KAI
    Her being here means that there's a possibility
     the airship belongs to the Hero Ruti.
[14:26] WOLF
    Leaving out such critical information
[14:28] WOLF
    would constitute an act of
    treachery against Cardinal Ljubo.
[14:36] KIGGITH
    I can't have you reporting this.
[14:39] KIGGITH
    Settling the score with Tisse is far more
    important to me than the Church's orders.
[14:53] KIGGITH
    I can't wait...
[14:55] KIGGITH
    My archenemy.
[15:13] TISSE
    It's been a while,
[15:15] TISSE
    Kiggith Viper.
[15:16] KIGGITH
    It brings back memories of our days training
    under our master when I see you like this,
[15:22] KIGGITH
    Tisse Garland.
[15:24] TISSE
    The Assassins' Guild has only one
    way of dealing with deserters.
[15:30] TISSE
    I trust you're fully aware of that.
[15:33] KIGGITH
    I like the bloodlust in your eyes.
[15:35] KIGGITH
    No wonder our master saw
    great potential in you.
[15:39] KIGGITH
    Which means killing you here
    would be a crying shame.
[15:42] TISSE
    What are you implying?
[15:43] KIGGITH
    Why don't you join me?
[15:47] KIGGITH
    You have what it takes
    to be my right-hand man.
[15:50] TISSE
    What happened to your allies?
[15:53] KIGGITH
    I killed them.
[15:54] KIGGITH
    They were about to get in the way of
    my battle with you, my greatest prey.
[15:58] TISSE
    Then I have no qualms about killing you.
[16:02] TISSE
    The Guild does not take betrayal lightly.
[16:05] KIGGITH
    That's just it. You're sorely lacking
    in an assassin's thirst for murder.
[16:11] KIGGITH
    As your fellow student and mentor,
[16:13] KIGGITH
    I'll teach you what it
    truly means to be an assassin.
[16:43] KIGGITH
    You're better than I remember.
[16:45] KIGGITH
    But how will you deal with these?
[16:57] KIGGITH
    What now? If you dodge them,
    this airship will be destroyed.
[17:02] TISSE
    Aren't you here for the airship?
[17:05] TISSE
    Besides, that skill kills
    innocent bystanders, too.
[17:08] TISSE
    That's why Master forbade
    us from ever using it.
[17:10] KIGGITH
    That's why I said you're lacking in thirst.
[17:13] KIGGITH
    We have our Blessings and our skills.
[17:15] KIGGITH
    All an assassin needs to do
    is fight as they will us to.
[17:18] KIGGITH
    That realization is why
     I left the Assassins' Guild!
[17:33] TISSE
    Kiggith used to be more faithful to
    his Assassin's Blessing than I was.
[17:40] TISSE
    So why did he end up like this?
[17:44] KIGGITH
    Got you!
[17:57] TISSE
    It's over.
[17:58] TISSE
    Any last words?
[18:01] KIGGITH
    D-Don't kill me.
[18:04] KIGGITH
    I'm in the employ of
    Cardinal Ljubo of the Church.
[18:08] KIGGITH
    Don't you want to know more?
[18:13] TISSE
    How could you reveal your client's name?
[18:16] KIGGITH
    I'll tell you everything I know.
[18:20] KIGGITH
    So spare my life...
[18:23] KIGGITH
    Ljubo wants the airship.
[18:26] TISSE
    He refuses to uphold
[18:26] KIGGITH
    He plans to have it airborne
[18:27] TISSE
    even the most fundamental
    rules of being an assassin.
[18:29] KIGGITH
    as soon as possible.
[18:31] TISSE
    The man I see before me is
    simply a disgraceful murderer!
[18:47] TISSE
    Kiggith could only adhere to his Blessing.
[18:52] TISSE
    He had no will of his own.
[19:01] TISSE
    Miss Ruti.
[19:04] RUTI
    Is it over?
[19:05] TISSE
    Yes. He was a rogue assassin who
    deserted the Assassins' Guild.
[19:10] RUTI
    I see.
[19:12] TISSE
    The Guild isn't as authoritarian
    as people seem to think it is.
[19:18] TISSE
    You're allowed to turn down
    missions you don't want to take.
[19:21] TISSE
    You're even free to retire.
[19:23] TISSE
    Our Blessings have fated us to live
    as assassins, so we need a place
[19:27] TISSE
    where we can help each other live.
[19:30] TISSE
    That place, and that organization,
    is the Assassins' Guild.
[19:34] RUTI
    Surprising.
    Everyone thinks it's a scary place.
[19:38] TISSE
    That's our marketing strategy.
[19:40] TISSE
    Even the rule about not accepting
    unreasonable missions was established
[19:43] TISSE
    so we would have just cause and
    not be wiped out by higher powers.
[19:48] TISSE
    We're all just doing everything
    we can to survive.
[19:53] RUTI
    So you're not allowed to
    murder without reason?
[19:56] TISSE
    Exactly. Carrying out assassinations
    left and right would be problematic.
[20:04] TISSE
    But they are still assassinations
    at the end of the day.
[20:07] TISSE
    And I made you, the Hero, help with one.
[20:11] RUTI
    Is that why you wouldn't talk to me about it?
[20:13] TISSE
    Your desire is to live a
    slow life here in Zoltan...
[20:17] TISSE
    But I...
[20:22] TISSE
    I cannot quit being an assassin.
[20:27] TISSE
    So how would it be okay for
    me to stay by your side?
[20:35] RUTI
    Assassin or not, you're my friend.
[20:39] RUTI
    So you don't have to force
    yourself to change for me.
[20:43] RUTI
    You can just be a slow-life assassin instead.
[20:47] TISSE
    A slow-life assassin?
[20:50] TISSE
    What...
[20:55] TISSE
    What the heck is that supposed to mean?
[20:57] RUTI
    I'll continue to offer a helping
    hand whenever you need it.
[21:01] RUTI
    It doesn't matter that
    we're Hero and Assassin.
[21:03] RUTI
    I'll do it because I want to.
[21:06] TISSE
    Miss Ruti...
[21:12] RUTI
    So, please, talk to me next time.
[21:15] TISSE
    Yes... I will, Miss Ruti!
[21:31] LJUBO
    This is unusually shoddy work for Kiggith.
[21:34] LJUBO
    This doesn't even tell me
    where the airship is.
[21:37] LJUBO
    I'll need him to lead me there in person.
[21:41] LJUBO
    But this at least confirms
    the airship's existence.
[21:45] LJUBO
    Summon Van back.
[21:47] UNDERLING
    Understood.
[21:48] LJUBO
    No, wait. On second thought, I'll go.
[21:51] UNDERLING
    Is there any need for you to go personally?
[21:53] LJUBO
    Once I meet up with Van, we'll head
    for Zoltan directly from there.
[21:58] LJUBO
    At last, it is time for my lofty
    ambitions to be realized.
[22:14] ESTA
    The Church's warriors can no longer
    keep up with the way Van fights.
[22:20] ESTA
    Our party is in shambles. We should descend.
[22:24] VAN
    But I can keep fighting.
[22:26] ESTA
    Maybe you can, but our party can't.
[22:29] VAN
    Is that a problem?
[22:31] ESTA
    What?
[22:32] VAN
    Only the Hero may save the world.
[22:35] VAN
    Then any sacrifices made to
    develop the Hero's Blessing
[22:38] VAN
    can be seen as justified
    for the sake of the world.
[22:40] VAN
    No, they can't.
[22:41] SOLDIER
    Sighting the flare ordering
    us to descend the mountain!
[22:48] VAN
    Cardinal Ljubo's orders?
[22:49] VAN
    I'm glad. Finally my real
    adventure can begin.
[22:54] ESTA
    Do you have nothing to
    say to our dead comrades?
[22:58] VAN
    The Hero need not look back.
[23:00] VAN
    It's the phrase I like most
[23:01] VAN
    from the texts on the
    Heroes across history.
[23:03] VAN
    The Hero is a
    symbol of hope.
[23:05] VAN
    He need only march onward.
[23:07] VAN
    Isn't that wonderful?
[23:23] TISSE
    Raise your arms, please.
[23:28] RUTI
    We've got farmwork again today.
[23:31] TISSE
    Let's do our best!

[00:08] TISSE
    Do you remember Cardinal Ljubo?
[00:11] RED
    Yeah. I saw him at the
    Great Last Wall Fortress.
[00:16] TISSE
    He's looking for the former
    demon lord's airship.

    "Masked Knight Escarlata"
[01:58] RED
    "defeats Altra of the Water,
    general of the demon lord's army,"
[02:01] RED
    "and forces Altra into retreat."
[02:03] RIT
    I wonder who she serves.
[02:05] RIT
    The Church? Or...
[02:07] RED
    It seems she's a mercenary.
[02:09] RIT
    Oh.
[02:11] RIT
    You know, the former demon lord's
    airship, which Tisse brought up...
[02:17] RIT
    Are you sure you want to
    hand it over to the Church?
[02:20] RIT
    I think they'll put it to much better
    use than letting it rot away in Zoltan.
[02:24] RIT
    If they want to misuse it,
    we should stop them,
[02:28] RIT
    but for the time being,
    we'll wait and see.
[02:29] RIT
    Okay.
[02:31] RED
    Our top priority right now is
    making sure nobody finds Ruti.
[02:37] RED
    Looks like the cold mold's gone.
[02:43] RED
    The herbs are growing nicely, too.
[02:46] TISSE
    Yeah.
[02:47] RUTI
    It's thanks to your advice, Big Brother.
[02:50] RUTI
    And also because Tisse was with me.
[02:53] TISSE
    Right. I'm having a lot of fun growing
    this farm with Miss Ruti, too.
[02:58] RED
    We'll have to think of a sales plan soon.
[03:02] RED
    Let's start with my apothecary.
[03:04] RED
    I'll buy your first harvest.
[03:06] RUTI
    Okay.
[03:07] RED
    We should try talking to the
    Merchants' Guild, Zoltan's clinics,
[03:12] RED
    and also traveling merchants.
[03:15] RUTI
    You'll help us out?
[03:17] RED
    Yeah. I'm a member of the Merchants' Guild,
[03:21] RED
    and your mentor in Zoltan chill living.
[03:25] RUTI
    Master Big Brother!
[03:28] RUTI
    Master Big Brother...
[03:30] TISSE
    Hm?
[03:33] RUTI
    A lovely phrase.
[03:54] RED
    You look in good shape.
[03:56] DANAN
    Good enough.
[03:57] DANAN
    The rest I'll regain through combat.
[04:01] RED
    You're going to leave Zoltan
    once you're discharged?
[04:03] RED
    I'll miss you.
[04:05] DANAN
    Then come with me.
[04:07] DANAN
    Let's go massacre the demon lord's army!
[04:09] RED
    Nah. I've decided to live here
    and run my apothecary with Rit.
[04:14] DANAN
    That so? Too bad.
[04:16] RED
    Let's go get a drink while you're still here.
[04:19] DANAN
    Sure. But there's something I need
    to do before I bid you goodbye.
[04:24] RED
    What?
[04:26] DANAN
    Gideon.
[04:29] DANAN
    Spar with me.
[04:33] RIT
    And you accepted?
[04:36] RED
    Yeah.
[04:37] RED
    He insisted he wanted to
    before leaving Zoltan.
[04:41] RED
    I'll have to train like crazy.
    I've probably lost my edge by now.
[04:44] RIT
    Can you win?
[04:46] RED
    Honestly, not a chance.
[04:48] RED
    Danan's Blessing is Martial Artist.
[04:50] RED
    It's a common Blessing,
[04:52] RED
    but nobody out there has loved their Blessing,
    and been loved by it in turn, as much as him.
[04:56] RIT
    Oh...
[04:57] RED
    Meanwhile, I'm the Guide.
[05:00] RED
    I only have common skills
    meant to protect a young Hero.
[05:04] RED
    It's obvious how this will go.
[05:07] RIT
    But you're still going to spar?
[05:09] RED
    Yeah.
[05:11] RIT
    Huh...
[05:12] RIT
    In that case, could you spar with me, too?
[05:17] SIGN
    What's with the look...
[05:18] RIT
    I mean, we haven't ever sparred before.
[05:21] RIT
    It'll be fine if you cast Merciful.
[05:24] RIT
    I bet you're gonna use it against Danan, too.
[05:28] RED
    Well, sure, if I cast the spell,
    I won't scar or injure my opponent.
[05:34] RED
    But it'll still hurt.
[05:41] RED
    I can't!
[05:42] SIGN
    Gah
[05:50] RED
    I'm so rusty.
[05:52] RED
    I'll end up disappointing Danan this way.
[05:55] RIT
    Here, be sure to hydrate.
[05:58] RED
    Thanks.
[06:00] YARANDRALA
    Red!
[06:02] YARANDRALA
    I hear you're fighting Danan!
[06:05] RED
    Word gets around, huh?
[06:08] YARANDRALA
    That means I'm perfect for the job.
[06:11] YARANDRALA
    Train with me to regain
    your combat instincts!
[06:15] RIT
    But aren't you a spirit mage?
[06:20] YARANDRALA
    Believe it or not, I'm the founder
    of the Lotus-Style Staff Technique.
[06:24] RIT
    What?! That style's famous everywhere!
[06:24] SIGN
    Lotus-Style

[06:28] RED

[06:30] RED
    You know that book detailing
    various regions' military tactics?
[06:34] SIGN
    100 Strategies:
    The Beauty of War
    Compiled by Yarandrala
[06:34] RED
    The famous 100 Strategies: 
    The Beauty of War?
[06:36] RED
    She compiled that, too.
[06:39] RIT
    Whoa!
[06:41] YARANDRALA
    I'm not just living out
    my years doing nothing.
[06:45] YARANDRALA
    So, back to the topic at hand...
[06:48] YARANDRALA
    What you need right now, Red,
    is to sharpen your mind.
[06:52] YARANDRALA
    It's not easy to regain your past skills.
[06:56] YARANDRALA
    But your mind must possess a different
    kind of strength than it did in the past!
[07:00] RED
    True. I've gained a lot
    since I moved to Zoltan.
[07:05] RED
    Then I guess I'll train in a way 
    that plays to Red's strengths.
[07:09] YARANDRALA
    That's the spirit!
[07:11] YARANDRALA
    Then let's get right to
    planning the training camp.
[07:13] RIT
    Training camp?
[07:14] YARANDRALA
    You're coming too, of course.
[07:21] RUTI
    Did you wait long, Big Brother?
[07:23] RED
    Nah, I just got here.
[07:27] TISSE
    You just wanted to play
    that scene out, didn't you?
[07:31] TISSE
    "Did you wait long?" "No, I just got here."
[07:33] RED
    Is that so? It's adorable how
    much she cares for her brother.
[07:37] RUTI
    Did you wait long, Big Brother?
[07:39] RED
    Nah, I just got here.
[07:41] RUTI
    Did you want long, Big Brother?!
[07:42] RED
    Nah? I just got here.
[07:44] RUTI
    Big Brother, did you—
[07:45] TISSE
    Anyway, are you sure you can
    handle training with Miss Ruti?
[07:50] RED
    I'm the one who taught
    her the sword, you know?
[07:53] RED
    There's no way a teacher and
    student can't train together.
[07:56] RUTI
    I'm really looking forward
    to training with you.
[07:59] DANAN
    A training camp is a method to grow stronger,
[08:02] DANAN
    and it's also the ultimate
    form of recreation.
[08:05] RED
    Danan! Were you discharged?
[08:07] DANAN
    Yeah. And you know just how
    much I love training camps.
[08:12] DANAN
    So I'm joining ya!
[08:14] RED
    That's so you. Sure, join us.
[08:18] DANAN
    Yeah!
[08:26] RED
    All right. That just leaves firewood...
[08:28] TISSE
    Hey...
[08:39] YARANDRALA
    Hey! Don't go around
    destroying the ecosystem!
[08:44] DANAN
    All right! I'm going on another firewood run!
[08:47] RED
    Yeah, that's all wrong.
[08:49] RIT
    The first meal of training camp
    is Red's custom training lunch!
[08:57] RIT
    Oh, right. I don't think
    we have any for you, Danan.
[09:01] RUTI
    You can have mine.
[09:02] DANAN
    I couldn't!
[09:06] RUTI
    Don't worry. The pangs of hunger
    are also a new experience for me.
[09:11] TISSE
    Let's go halfsies, Miss Ruti.
[09:13] YARANDRALA
    You can have half of mine, too.
[09:20] RUTI
    Half and half makes one whole.
[09:23] RUTI
    That doesn't seem right.
[09:26] RED
    Wait, wait. Let's try this instead.
[09:29] RED
    Now we all grab whatever we want.
[09:31] RUTI
    That's my Big Brother!
[09:33] DANAN
    My bad.
[09:34] DANAN
    But since you're offering,
    I'll happily indulge!
[09:45] RED
    Say something, dude.
[09:50] DANAN
    It's been a long time since the
    Hero's party got together like this.
[09:54] RED
    We're missing Theodora... and Ares, though.
[10:01] DANAN
    True that.
[10:04] DANAN
    Did you see the newspaper?
[10:06] DANAN
    The news about that mystery mercenary
    who fought off Astra of the Water?
[10:11] RED
    You mean the Masked Knight Escarlata?
[10:14] DANAN
    That's gotta be Theodora.
[10:16] DANAN
    There ain't another knight on this
    continent who can best a general.
[10:21] RED
    And then there's Escarlata's right-hand man,
[10:26] RED
    the knight with a prosthetic right arm.
[10:28] RED
    That must be Albert.
[10:31] DANAN
    Oh, him? I haven't thanked
    him for saving me yet.
[10:35] DANAN
    I'm planning to meet up with Theodora
    first thing after leaving Zoltan.
[10:39] DANAN
    If she wants to go finish
    off the Water General,
[10:42] DANAN
    then I'll happily join her.
[10:45] YARANDRALA
    I still haven't tried the
    duck sauté, you know.
[10:49] DANAN
    Like I care.
[10:51] YARANDRALA
    Hey, stop that!
[10:52] DANAN
    Why, you...
[10:54] RUTI
    Yubby.
[10:56] YARANDRALA/DANAN
    Ruti!
[11:00] DANAN
    Okay, let's get to it!
[11:06] RIT
    Should we get train, too?
[11:08] YARANDRALA
    Sounds good.
[11:09] RUTI
    There's something else I want to do.
[11:11] TISSE
    Miss Ruti?
[11:58] RUTI
    That was, like... kind of
    not what I was expecting.
[12:03] TISSE
    Really? It was exactly what I expected.
[12:07] RUTI
    Right.
[12:08] TISSE
    What were you imagining?
[12:12] RUTI
    Something smells nice.
[12:14] TISSE
    I heard Rit and Yarandrala
    are making dinner tonight.
[12:19] RUTI
    This should be good.
[12:24] DANAN
    Your swordplay makes your foe visible.
[12:27] RED
    My foe?
[12:28] DANAN
    Yeah. I can see exactly who you're
     cutting down with your moves.
[12:33] RED
    Yeah, well, I'm picturing them in my mind.
[12:37] DANAN
    People, elves, monsters, demons.
[12:40] DANAN
    I can clearly see a different
    foe of yours each time.
[12:45] DANAN
    That shows how adaptable your tactics are.
[12:48] DANAN
    Sparring with you will be fun!
[12:50] RED
    Likewise.
[13:06] RIT
    Shall I wash your back?
[13:15] RED
    I'll take you up on that.
[13:25] RED
    Training with him today really
     drove home how strong Danan is.
[13:29] RED
    I think he's the strongest human
    out here except for Ruti.
[13:33] RIT
    Yeah, I felt the same.
[13:37] RED
    But sparring with him is neither
    a sport nor a fight to the death.
[13:41] RED
    It has an objective outside
    of winning and losing.
[13:44] RIT
    And what's that?
[13:46] RED
    Danan's a warrior to the core.
[13:48] RED
    The farthest thing from a chill life.
[13:50] RED
    Through our battles, I want to show
    him how I've chosen to live my life.
[13:55] RIT
    He's a friend who you've been
    on adventures with, after all.
[13:58] RIT
    I hope he understands.
[14:01] RED
    Yeah.
[14:10] YARANDRALA
    Okay, I'm casting Merciful.
[14:16] YARANDRALA
    You won't get injured, but know that
    this spell doesn't dampen pain.
[14:25] RUTI
    No hard feelings.
[14:29] RUTI
    Begin!
[14:35] DANAN
    Martial Art:
[14:36] DANAN
    Rampaging Kick!
[14:59] DANAN
    Martial Art: Pulverizing Punch!
[15:10] DANAN
    It really is just a normal sword.
[15:12] DANAN
    I'm supposed to be far stronger than you,
[15:15] DANAN
    but you saw through all my moves and even
    made contact with me using your sword.
[15:23] DANAN
    You're fun, Gideon.
[15:26] DANAN
    You really are fun.
[15:28] RED
    You've figured out how to win,
    though, haven't you?
[15:31] DANAN
    Yeah. You're only dealing with my attacks
[15:36] DANAN
    because you're predicting them.
[15:40] RED
    There's no way I'd be able
    to defend myself otherwise.
[15:44] DANAN
    In that case, I can simply win with
    moves I wouldn't normally use.
[15:47] DANAN
    Holding back a little is all it'll take.
[15:50] RED
    I guess. Well? Are you going to hold back?
[15:54] DANAN
    Hell no.
[15:56] DANAN
    This is a sparring match,
     not a battle to the death.
[15:59] DANAN
    I'm gonna fight you at my absolute peak!
[16:04] RED
    I expected nothing else!
[16:07] DANAN
    Here I come, Gideon.
[16:09] DANAN
    If you're seeing through me at full strength,
[16:13] DANAN
    I'll just show you I can go beyond!
[16:17] RED
    Bring it, Danan.
[16:19] RED
    I'll match you using everything
    I've gained in my life so far!
[16:28] DANAN
    Gideon!
[16:30] RED
    Danan!
[16:38] RED
    Ow... I should've known
     I couldn't handle a direct hit.
[16:43] RED
    I'd be a goner if it weren't
    for Yarandrala's spell.
[16:48] DANAN
    You really are strong, Gideon.
[16:51] RED
    I hope I didn't disappoint you.
[16:53] DANAN
    Of course not.
[16:55] DANAN
    I don't get this chill life business.
[16:58] DANAN
    That's exactly why I wanted to spar with you.
[17:02] DANAN
    Fighting's the only thing I'm good for.
[17:04] RED
    So, did you understand anything
    about the chill life?
[17:08] DANAN
    Not a thing.
[17:10] DANAN
    But, Gideon... No, Red.
[17:13] DANAN
    I saw that your swordplay has an
    underlying, unrelenting strength.
[17:17] DANAN
    You are still that strong man
    I've come to respect.
[17:20] DANAN
    You just chose another path.
[17:22] DANAN
    This chill living thing could
    be a different form of strength.
[17:26] DANAN
    Do your damnedest to live happily ever after.
[17:28] RED
    Thank you, Danan.
[17:30] DANAN
    I fight because I constantly desire battle.
[17:33] DANAN
    That's my source of pride.
[17:35] RED
    Right. I respect your
    relentless strength, too.
[17:43] RUTI
    Danan. My turn next.
[17:46] DANAN
    What? I can spar with the strongest Hero?!
[17:50] DANAN
    Not even in my wildest dreams...
[17:55] DANAN
    Darn it! How can I win?
[18:03] TISSE
    I feel so bad for him.
[18:06] RUTI
    Sorry.
[18:15] RED
    If it isn't Albert!
[18:17] ALBERT
    It's been a while.
[18:19] RED
    Talk about a surprise.
    You're back in Zoltan?
[18:22] ALBERT
    I just got here today.
[18:25] ALBERT
    I'm glad to see you well,
    Mister Red, Miss Rit.
[18:28] RED
    "Mister" Red? That feels weird.
[18:32] ALBERT
    Please don't bring up who I used to be.
[18:35] RED
    Is Theodora with you?
[18:37] ALBERT
    I came alone.
[18:39] ALBERT
    She's currently going by
    the name of Escarlata.
[18:43] ALBERT
    And I bring you a message from her.
[18:46] RED
    A message?
[18:48] ALBERT
    "A new Hero has appeared."
[18:52] ALBERT
    "He is Van of Flamberge."
[18:55] ALBERT
    "He may make his way to Zoltan in order to
     take the former demon lord's airship."
[19:08] VAN
    What a ruckus.
[19:09] LAVENDER
    Everyone's having fun.
[19:13] VAN
    Stay close, Lavender. It's not safe.
[19:16] LAVENDER
    But you'll protect me, won't you?
[19:19] VAN
    Of course. I'll keep you
    safe with all I have.
[19:22] LAVENDER
    Gosh! I could do anything for you, Van!
[19:28] BEARD
    What have you been grinning at?!
[19:31] LEATHERMAIL
    W-Well, this is self-defense now.
[19:37] LEATHERMAIL
    I-I... I gotta kill people every now and
    then to keep my Blessing in control!
[19:45] LEATHERMAIL
    Any of his friends around?
[19:48] LEATHERMAIL
    Why don't you attack me to avenge him?!
[19:52] LEATHERMAIL
    Come on! Come at me!
[19:55] LEATHERMAIL
    I-I beg of you! Give me your life!
[19:55] VAN
    A Wrongdoer Blessing, huh?
[20:07] VAN
    The evil is gone.
[20:13] ESTA
    What happened here?
[20:15] LAVENDER
    Van just struck down a strange fellow.
[20:18] VAN
    Right. I killed him because
    he murdered someone.
[20:23] ESTA
    I need a full explanation.
    Why did the fight break out?
[20:26] VAN
    Huh? Is that important?
[20:30] ESTA
    It is important to know
    what motivated the killing.
[20:33] ESTA
    You could have easily captured him alive.
[20:37] ESTA
    You should have interrogated him first.
[20:40] VAN
    Why should I? You do realize he had
     a Wrongdoer Blessing, I assume?
[20:46] ESTA
    But everyone here is human.
[20:48] ESTA
    People's lives involve more than
    their Blessings' urges alone.
[20:51] ESTA
    Every person has their own free will.
[20:54] ESTA
    You must never forget that.
[20:56] VAN
    You're mistaken.
[20:58] ESTA
    What?
[20:59] VAN
    Oh, no, I don't mean to imply
    that what you're saying is wrong.
[21:05] VAN
    I did not hate him, nor was I trying
    to stop any further killings.
[21:11] VAN
    Using the Hero's blade to satisfy
    personal desires is wrong.
[21:14] VAN
    Not to mention, my battles are all
    offerings to the Almighty Demis.
[21:18] ESTA
    Why, then, did you kill him?
[21:20] VAN
    People with Wrongdoer exist to
    be taken down by someone else.
[21:25] VAN
    I killed him so he could fulfill his role.
[21:30] VAN
    And I certainly did feel I grew
    as Hero when I killed him.
[21:36] VAN
    I offer love and blessings to his life.
[21:39] VAN
    My Blessing, which has now
    grown at the cost of his life,
[21:42] VAN
    will surely save the world one day.
[21:44] ESTA
    Van, why are you so...
[21:46] LJUBO
    The words of a true Hero indeed.
[21:49] VAN
    Please. I'm still a Hero in name only.
[21:51] VAN
    I haven't even fought the demon lord's army.
[21:55] VAN
    Surely Hero Ruti's faith must
    run far deeper than mine.
[22:04] LJUBO
    Come. We head to Zoltan.

    Now that we're all here,
    let's go over it one more time.
[00:05] RED
    Albert, has the Church officially
    recognized Van as Hero?
[00:10] ALBERT
    Yes. His Blessing was appraised,
    and Cardinal Ljubo was put in charge of him.
[00:15] ALBERT
    He will operate as the Church's Hero.
[00:19] RED
    The Church's Hero...
[00:21] RIT
    Red?
[00:23] RED
    I'm sure he really is a Hero
     since the Church says so.
[00:27] RED
    But I don't understand why
    he didn't show up until now.
[00:30] RIT
    True.
[00:32] DANAN
    Speaking of the Church, remember when
    we visited the Great Last Wall Fortress?
[00:37] RUTI
    That's where we met Theodora.
    Takes me back.
[00:40] YARANDRALA
    That was before I joined the party, right?
[00:43] RIT
    Do you think the Church was
    aware of Van back then?
[00:48] RUTI
    Two Heroes existing at the
    same time is abnormal.
[00:51] RUTI
    If they knew, they would've done something.
[00:54] RUTI
    But they did nothing at all.
[00:56] RED
    It makes more sense to
    assume they didn't know.
[01:03] DANAN
    No point thinking about all that.
[01:06] DANAN
    The issue is that this Van kid's
    on his way to Zoltan, right?
SIGN    Banished from the Hero's Party,
    I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside 2nd
SIGN    A Long Vacation
[02:44] YARANDRALA
    How much does the Church know about Ruti?
[02:48] ALBERT
    Nothing, as far as I've heard.
[02:50] ALBERT
    Heck, they hadn't heard anything about
    the Hero's campaign to begin with.
[02:56] RED
    Well, we were making sure they didn't.
[02:59] RED
    But Ruti took out of two of the generals,
    and Theodora defeated one more.
[03:03] RED
    Thanks to that, the war with the
    demon lord's army is a stalemate.
[03:07] RED
    It's safe to say that Avalon is
    peaceful again, to an extent.
[03:11] RED
    Ruti's absence shouldn't
    cause too much of a problem.
[03:15] RED
    But the appearance of a
    new Hero changes things.
[03:20] RED
    If he finds out that the
    Hero Ruti walked away from battle,
[03:23] RED
    he won't take too kindly to it.
[03:26] RIT
    Is there a way to prevent them from meeting?
[03:29] DANAN
    Maybe try a disguise?
[03:31] TISSE
    She'll just give herself away.
[03:33] TISSE
    Miss Ruti sticks out too much.
[03:36] YARANDRALA
    Van's coming here to take the
    former demon lord's airship, right?
[03:41] YARANDRALA
    In that case, how about you
    three leave Zoltan for a while?
[03:48] TISSE
    I recommend going to a tourist destination.
[03:51] TISSE
    You can leave the herb farm to me.
[03:54] YARANDRALA
    And I'll run the shop!
[03:56] YARANDRALA
    Go relax for a while!
[03:57] RED
    That sounds good.
[04:00] RUTI
    Yep.
[04:01] TISSE
    I'll be the messenger.
[04:03] DANAN
    I'll stay back in Zoltan just in case, too.
[04:06] RED
    Wouldn't it be bad news if
    you ran into the Cardinal?
[04:09] DANAN
    I want nothing to do with him, either.
[04:11] DANAN
    But I've got a real bad
    feeling about this situation.
[04:15] DANAN
    Heck, even if I do run into him, I can
    say I got kicked out of the Hero's party,
[04:22] DANAN
    and I've got a good reason right here.
[04:24] RUTI
    Danan, you're stronger now
    than when you had both arms.
[04:28] DANAN
    What?
[04:31] RED
    True that.
[04:32] DANAN
    You don't say?
[04:33] RIT
    Probably.
[04:33] DANAN
    You don't say!
[04:39] RIT
    Such a peaceful place!
[04:42] RUTI
    Saint Durant Village.
[04:44] RED
    Durant is the name of the hero who
    saved this village from destruction.
[04:48] RIT
    They had a hero who shone
    on the battlefield, too?
[04:51] RED
    Nah, he was a lumberjack, and a powerful one.
[04:54] RUTI
    A lumberjack...
[04:56] RED
    When a horde of hill giants attacked,
[04:58] RED
    the initial settlers of
    this area lost everything.
[05:01] RED
    But he built homes for all of them
    overnight and was hailed a savior.
[05:05] RIT
    What? That sounds unbelievable.
[05:12] RIT
    So this is Durant the hero.
[05:15] RUTI
    "Durant the Hero."
[05:16] RUTI
    "Many a hero has killed a century
    of foes before and after,"
[05:21] RUTI
    "But only one hero has ever built
    a century of homes in one night."
[05:25] RUTI
    "Here he is in the process
    of logging a big ol' tree."
[05:27] RUTI
    "Behold his gorgeous pecs."
[05:32] RED
    We've never come to a tourist spot
     like this before, have we?
[05:36] RUTI
    I'm excited.
[05:41] RIT
    Wow...
[05:42] RIT
    This is all very fascinating.
[05:44] RED
    I hear that scores of nobles and
     merchants visit this place,
[05:47] RED
    which makes it a major trading hub.
[05:49] STOREOWNER
    Those items are only for display.
[05:52] RED
    Er...
[05:54] RED
    Wanna buy anything?
[05:55] RITRUTI
    Totally!
[05:58] GRAMPA LARRY
    Here's your key.
[06:01] RED
    Thanks.
[06:02] GRAMPA LARRY
    Enjoy your stay.
[06:04] RIT
    Let's go in!
[06:06] RED
    Yeah.
[06:10] RIT
    This looks great!
[06:12] RED
    I like the ambiance.
[06:24] TISSE
    Miss Ruti must've reached the place by now.
[06:28] TISSE
    Once this whole thing dies down,
    why don't we go on a little trip ourselves?
[06:41] RUTI
    Pretty.
[06:42] RED
    They must've mixed something
    in to do this. Interesting.
[06:45] RIT
    Shall we buy some more on the way home?
[06:48] RED
    Yeah, I want Tisse and
    Yarandrala to see this.
[06:52] RUTI
    Mr. Crawly Wawly will like it, too.
[07:04] RED
    Van the Hero, huh...
[07:07] RIT
    He should be in Zoltan soon.
[07:10] RIT
    I hope he leaves just as soon.
[07:14] RUTI
    I know how bad a Hero's urges can get.
[07:17] RUTI
    Even if he wants to stay for a while,
[07:20] RUTI
    his Hero's Blessing won't let him.
[07:27] RUTI
    We should enjoy this moment for now.
[07:33] RED
    Right you are.
[07:36] RED
    Want me to make some milk and honey?
[07:39] RUTI
    Yay!
[07:55] RIT
    The food there was great!
[07:58] RIT
    That weird, leafy thing
    was surprisingly sweet.
[08:00] RUTI
    That was snakedrunk leaf.
[08:02] RUTI
    It's normally used to treat indigestion.
[08:05] RED
    I guess it grows around here.
[08:08] KATE
    Ow...
[08:10] RIT
    Oh, no!
[08:11] RED
    Are you okay?
[08:12] KATE
    Yes...
[08:13] KATE
    Ow...
[08:15] RED
    Let's take her to our cottage.
[08:16] RIT
    Yeah!
[08:17] RUTI
    Yep.
[08:20] RED
    Kate. This is where it hurts, right?
[08:24] KATE
    Yes.
[08:26] RED
    Who's the village doctor?
[08:28] KATE
    We don't have one.
[08:29] RED
    Oh.
[08:30] RED
    I'm not one either,
    but I do run an apothecary,
[08:33] RED
    so I know a thing or two
    about illnesses and injuries.
[08:36] RED
    Could you answer a few questions?
[08:38] KATE
    Sure.
[08:40] RED
    Have you experienced anything
    out of the ordinary lately?
[08:43] KATE
    No, not really...
[08:45] KATE
    Oh, I did cut my leg a few days ago.
[08:49] RED
    Your leg, you say?
[08:50] KATE
    Yes, it happened during work.
[08:53] KATE
    I was a bit careless.
[08:55] RED
    When did your limbs start trembling?
[08:57] KATE
    Huh?
[08:59] KATE
    Oh, I guess they have been for a while...
[09:02] RIT
    Did you figure something out?
[09:04] RED
    She was probably exposed to poison
    when she got cut, and that has spread.
[09:07] KATE
    What?!
[09:08] RED
    Magic can suppress the pain,
[09:11] RED
    but it can't get rid of the toxins.
[09:17] KATE
    What do I do?
[09:19] RIT
    Red, can medicines fix this?
[09:23] RED
    Yeah. Let me try whipping something
    up with the herbs I'm carrying.
[09:27] RED
    Is that all right?
[09:29] KATE
    Of course! Please do!
[09:31] RED
    It'll take a little while
    with my Blending skill.
[09:34] RED
    Ruti.
[09:35] RED
    In the meantime, can I ask you
    to go pick an herb I'm missing?
[09:40] RUTI
    Yep. What should I pick?
[09:42] RED
    Snakedrunk leaf. The thing we ate earlier.
[09:45] RED
    The chef should be able to
    tell you where it grows.
[09:49] RED
    As long as I have that, I should be able
    to replicate the actual medicine's effects.
[09:54] RUTI
    Got it.
[09:57] RED
    Rit, you take care of Kate.
[09:59] RED
    Use your magic to give her some pain relief.
[10:02] RIT
    Okay!
[10:34] RED
    Welcome back, Ruti.
[10:37] RED
    What happened to you?!
[10:38] RUTI
    Nothing. Just fell down a valley.
[10:42] RUTI
    Here, Big Brother.
[10:44] RED
    Thanks, Ruti.
[10:46] RED
    I can complete the medicine now.
[10:51] RUTI
    Okay, I'll go call someone to pick her up!
[10:52] RED
    Huh? Oh...
[11:09] RED
    You should be fine now, but keep
    taking the medicine for a while.
[11:13] KATE
    Thank you so much for treating me!
[11:21] RED
    What's with all the people?
[11:24] RUTI
    I went around asking where Kate's
    house was, and they all tagged along.
[11:29] OWNER
    Thanks for helping Kate out!
[11:31] VILLAGER1COOK
    This here's the village's secret recipe!
    Try it out sometime!
[11:35] VILLAGER2
    Take this, too!
[11:36] VILLAGER3
    And this!
[11:37] VILLAGER4
    Now, now. Don't be shy.
[11:40] RED
    Thank you all so much.
[11:47] RED
    I'm beat.
[11:49] RIT
    How's Red doing...
[12:07] RED
    Dinner's ready!
[12:08] RITRUTI
    Yay!
[12:11] RIT
    So, uh, what is this?
[12:13] RED
    A dish called curry.
[12:15] RED
    A traditional dish passed down from
    Durant's homeland, apparently.
[12:18] RIT
    That recipe you just got?
    It's got an intense color...
[12:22] RUTI
    Sniff, sniff.
[12:23] RUTI
    It's got a pungent aroma, too.
[12:25] RED
    So...
[12:26] RED
    What's with the getup?
[12:29] RIT
    What?
[12:30] RIT
    I mean, we're on vacation and all.
[12:32] RIT
    Besides, the floor here's
    really warm and comfy.
[12:35] RED
    I'd heard this was a geothermal region.
    Must be that.
[12:41] RED
    And...
[12:42] RED
    What's with you, Ruti?
[12:44] RUTI
    Forgot my swimsuit.
[12:45] RED
    That doesn't explain a thing!
[12:50] RED
    Whatever. Let's eat.
[12:52] RITRUTI
    Yeah!
[12:58] RIT
    The spice really packs a punch.
    This is great.
[13:02] RUTI
    It goes well with the
    fresh bread, too. Love it.
[13:05] RIT
    But, man, we haven't heard a peep, huh?
[13:09] RIT
    I almost feel anxious
    about chilling like this.
[13:12] RED
    Us being there would only complicate things.
[13:15] RED
    Let's trust the others and wait.
[13:21] RUTI
    Seconds.
[13:30] DANAN
    Heya.
[13:32] ALBERT
    Danan.
[13:33] DANAN
    How's it looking?
[13:34] ALBERT
    They haven't come here yet.
[13:36] DANAN
    I see.
[13:39] DANAN
    Here, I brought gifts.
[13:41] ALBERT
    Thank you!
[13:44] ALBERT
    Wow.
[13:45] ALBERT
    This looks great.
[13:47] DANAN
    I made these.
[13:52] ALBERT
    You did?
[13:54] DANAN
    Aren't you gonna eat?
[13:56] ALBERT
    Well...
[14:05] ALBERT
    Oh, I didn't think it'd be this good.
[14:08] DANAN
    Wha?
[14:08] ALBERT
    Oh, I apologize!
[14:10] DANAN
    Albert.
[14:12] ALBERT
    Eek!
[14:13] DANAN
    I believe I haven't made myself clear!
[14:20] DANAN
    I owe ya my life. Thanks.
[14:26] ALBERT
    D... Danan!
[14:28] DANAN
    I think we'll be good friends!
[14:30] ALBERT
    We will!
[14:31] DANAN
    Now, eat up!
[14:32] ALBERT
    I will!
[14:38] VAN
    So this is Zoltan.
[14:40] LAVENDER
    We finally made it, Van.
[14:41] VAN
    Yeah!
[14:43] LJUBO
    What a poor excuse for a port.
[14:46] LJUBO
    It doesn't even have the
    capacity for the puny boat.
[14:50] VAN
    Is something the matter?
[14:51] ESTA
    Oh, I just recalled a former comrade of
    mine saying the same thing in the past.
[14:56] VAN
    Were they a Hero, too?
    I would love to meet them!
[15:00] ESTA
    I'm afraid the chances are slim.
[15:03] VAN
    I suppose.
[15:04] VAN
    Our goal is to save the world.
[15:07] VAN
    We can't be taking detours now, can we?
[15:10] LJUBO
    Precisely.
[15:14] TISSE
    That's Van the Hero?
[15:17] TISSE
    He's nothing like Miss Ruti.
[15:24] VAN
    Is our guide not here yet?
[15:27] LJUBO
    Hmph. He must've taken some shady
    deal and went and got himself killed.
[15:32] ESTA
    This guide of yours is the only one
    who knows the exact location, no?
[15:36] VAN
    Why don't we look for it ourselves?
[15:38] LJUBO
    It'll be dark soon.
[15:40] LJUBO
    We can discuss a plan of action at the inn.
[15:49] RUTI
    And I'm done.
[15:50] RIT
    Wow!
[15:52] RED
    The Wyvern grandmaster always wins.
[15:55] RUTI
    Friend's here.
[15:56] RED
    A friend?
[16:01] RED
    I didn't expect Mr. Crawly Wawly to visit us.
[16:03] RIT
    This spider can do it all.
[16:06] RUTI
    That's our Mr. Crawly Wawly.
[16:08] RED
    Sounds like Van the Hero has arrived.
[16:10] RED
    No major issues yet.
[16:13] RIT
    I see.
[16:16] RIT
    Huh? You want to play
    Wyvern Races, too, Mr. Crawly Wawly?
[16:21] RED
    He really can do it all.
[16:33] TISSE
    I'm Tisse.
[16:34] TISSE
    A member of the Assassins' Guild,
[16:36] TISSE
    and an assassin deviously blending
    in as a maid this evening.
[16:39] TORNED
    Welcome.
[16:41] TORNED
    I'm Torned, the mayor.
    It is an honor to meet you.
[16:48] TORNED
    Uh...
[16:50] ESTA
    Unfortunately, the Hero is
    exhausted from his voyage.
[16:54] TORNED
    O-Of course.
[16:55] TORNED
    My apologies. I'll come back later.
[17:01] ESTA
    Van, I can't say I approve of your behavior.
[17:04] LJUBO
    If you're angry about the
    airship, I have an idea.
[17:07] LJUBO
    Cheer up.
[17:10] MAID
    Sir Hero, this is the chef's special—
[17:12] VAN
    A Hero has no need for food!
[17:17] MAID
    I deeply apologize!
[17:26] ESTA
    We need to talk. Outside.
[17:27] VAN
    Great idea. I wanted to step outside myself.
[17:40] ESTA
    I won't ask you to be nice.
[17:42] ESTA
    But could you at least try to
    hide your displeasure a little?
[17:46] VAN
    So, we're doing this again.
[17:48] ESTA
    Do you enjoy my nagging?
[17:52] VAN
    Of course!
[17:53] VAN
    I am still inexperienced as a Hero.
[17:56] VAN
    Talking to someone with a high-level Blessing,
    like you, is a great learning experience.
[18:00] ESTA
    He says that like he has ever
    actually learned anything!
[18:04] ESTA
    You should respect people and how they feel.
[18:07] ESTA
    They organized this party
    to celebrate your arrival.
[18:12] VAN
    Hm... But why do that?
[18:15] ESTA
    "Why"?
[18:17] ESTA
    Can you not comprehend their desire
[18:19] ESTA
    to express their admiration
    and gratitude for the Hero?
[18:22] VAN
    A Hero saves people because
    the Almighty deemed it so.
[18:27] VAN
    There is no need for admiration or gratitude.
[18:30] ESTA
    You may see it that way,
    but not everyone does.
[18:34] ESTA
    Also, a Hero is a symbol of courage that
    gives people the will to fight evil.
[18:39] ESTA
    There will be times when you'll
    need to lead them into battle,
[18:43] ESTA
    so it's important to understand
    their feelings and respect them.
[18:48] VAN
    True.
[18:49] VAN
    Giving people the courage to fight
    is one of the Hero's duties.
[18:53] VAN
    When the Hero arrives, the masses
    will have to march into battle...
[18:57] VAN
    and die.
[19:01] ESTA
    Wha?
[19:02] VAN
    That is what the Almighty desires.
[19:05] VAN
    So it's only natural that they fight with
    courage and lose their lives as a result.
[19:09] VAN
    What matters isn't admiration or gratitude,
    but faith in the Almighty Demis alone.
[19:16] ESTA
    You would tell the people fighting
    alongside you to simply die?
[19:24] ESTA
    And you wouldn't feel a thing?
[19:27] VAN
    That's right.
    Martyrdom is an expression of faith.
[19:30] VAN
    Emotions only debase that.
[19:32] LAVENDER
    That's my Van! What a man!
[19:37] LJUBO
    We'll be leaving tomorrow.
[19:41] LJUBO
    The people of Zoltan can
    look into the airship.
[19:43] LJUBO
    In the meantime, we shall do
    what only we are capable of.
[19:48] ESTA
    And what is that?
[19:49] LJUBO
    We'll have to backtrack a little,
[19:51] LJUBO
    but there is an island which is
    inhabited by a salt dragon.
[19:54] LJUBO
    We will exterminate it.
[19:56] VAN
    A salt dragon?
[19:58] LJUBO
    A dragon of stagnation and destruction.
[20:00] VAN
    So, it's an enemy of the Hero?!
[20:03] ESTA
    A salt dragons will not attack people
    if they keep their distance.
[20:06] ESTA
    And its presence does not
    create any adverse effects, either.
[20:09] ESTA
    Does it really need to be exterminated?
[20:11] LJUBO
    It is perfect fodder to
    level up Van's Blessing.
[20:15] LJUBO
    Also, rumors say the salt dragon possess a
    treasure of the Fairy King's which it stole.
[20:22] LJUBO
    Having it won't hurt us.
[20:24] ESTA
    But...
[20:25] VAN
    It's fine!
[20:26] VAN
    Killing monsters and taking their
    treasure is morally correct.
[20:29] VAN
    The Church's scriptures say so!
[20:32] ESTA
    Make too many enemies,
    and you'll come to regret it.
[20:36] VAN
    It's the Hero's job to
    eradicate every evil being.
[20:39] VAN
    As such, I will always be an enemy
    to all the evil in this world.
[20:45] LJUBO
    Let us head back inside
     before the food goes cold.
[20:48] LJUBO
    I hear that seafood goes quite
    well with Zoltan's wine.
[20:51] VAN
    I'll return to the inn.
[20:53] LJUBO
    The Almighty made wine for their
    followers to enjoy. You mustn't refuse.
[20:59] VAN
    I see. In that case...
[21:00] LAVENDER
    Oh, well. Whatever.
SIGN    Have you come to steal our treasure?
SIGN    Have some shame, you filthy thieves!
[21:22] LJUBO
    How cheeky...
SIGN    Begone, humans!
[21:35] VAN
    I, Van the Hero, will slay all evil!
[21:59] LAVENDER
    You did it, Van!
[22:00] VAN
    Yeah.
[22:04] VAN
    So, that's the Fairy King's shield.

[00:02] RIT
    I wonder what's going on back in Zoltan.
[00:05] RED
    Tisse should send word as
    soon as the airship is found.
[00:09] RED
    I guess they're having trouble finding it.
[00:12] RIT
    Maybe we should've left a big
    arrow pointing to its location.
[00:16] RED
    Yeah.
[00:28] RUTI
    Flowers can't move, so the bees
    carry the pollen for them, huh?
[00:33] RED
    Yeah.
[00:34] RED
    The bees are just gathering
    food for themselves,
[00:38] RED
    but without them, the flowers can't bloom.
[00:41] RED
    And it's not just the flowers.
[00:42] RED
    The vegetables in this village
    only grow because of them, too.
[00:47] RUTI
    It's amazing.
[00:49] RUTI
    They're doing something for themselves,
[00:51] RUTI
    but it helps the flowers and us, too.
[00:57] KIDS
    One! Two! Three!
[01:01] KIDS
    Four!
[01:02] KIDS
    Whoa!
[01:03] KIDS
    What's wrong with you?
[01:06] RIT
    What are they doing?
[01:07] RED
    Wanna go see?
[01:08] RUTI
    Yep.

SIGN    The Two Heroes
[02:40] KIDS
    One! Two! Three!
[02:45] KIDS
    Four! Five!
[02:48] RED
    Oh, so they're training in a group.
[02:49] KIDS
    Six! Seven!
[02:50] RIT
    Even children need to fight to
    raise their Blessing levels.
[02:52] KIDS
    Eight! Nine!
[02:55] KID1
    Oh, hello, Mister Red!
[02:58] RED
    Hey, there.
[02:59] KID2
    You're the doctor who
    helped Miss Kate, right?
[03:04] RED
    Nah, I'm no doctor. I just run an apothecary.
[03:08] KID3
    My dad called you a great guy!
[03:10] KID4
    You must be a wizard.
[03:12] RUTI
    You're a hit with the kids, Big Brother.
[03:14] RED
    I feel like this is greatly exaggerated.
[03:16] RIT
    I can supervise your training if you want.
[03:19] KID1
    Really? Yay!
[03:20] KIDS
    Heck yeah!
[03:23] KIDS
    One! Two! Three!
[03:27] RIT
    Keep your center of gravity low.
[03:28] KIDS
    Four! Five! Six!
[03:29] KID3
    Like this?
[03:30] RIT
    Yeah, that's the way.
[03:32] RUTI
    Rit is so good at breaking the ice.
[03:33] KIDS
    Seven! Eight!
[03:35] RED
    She sure is.
[03:37] KID4
    One!
[03:38] KID4
    Two! Three!
[03:40] RED
    You've got the basics down pat.
[03:42] KIDS
    Four! Five!
[03:43] RED
    You should move on to training
    with your Blessing in mind.
[03:45] KIDS
    Six! Seven!
[03:46] KID4
    My Blessing?
[03:48] RED
    Yeah.
[03:49] RED
    You've got the Gladiator Blessing, right?
[03:52] RED
    It's a powerful Blessing that
    produces the very best adventurers.
[03:55] KID4
    Wow! How did you know?
[03:57] RED
    Well, I did study a lot.
[04:00] KID4
    You really are a wizard!
[04:02] KID4
    How exactly do I train
    with my Blessing in mind?
[04:05] RED
    Yeah, well...
[04:06] KID3
    Lucky him! Teach me, too!
[04:08] RED
    Okay, okay. But wait your turn.
[04:10] VILLAGER1
    There you are, Red!
[04:13] VILLAGER1
    Please head back to your cottage at once.
[04:15] VILLAGER1
    An ogre king has been
    spotted near the village.
[04:18] RED
    An ogre king?
[04:20] VILLAGER1
    Yes.
[04:21] VILLAGER1
    They almost never enter the village itself,
[04:24] VILLAGER1
    but a man who lived on the outskirts
    was once attacked in the past.
[04:28] VILLAGER1
    We'll be going out to patrol now.
[04:31] VILLAGER1
    Please stay inside until
    we can confirm it's safe.
[04:34] VILLAGER1
    You kids run home, too.
[04:37] KIDS
    What...
[04:39] RED
    Do you want me to go check things out?
[04:41] VILLAGER1
    O-Oh, no. I couldn't ask that of you.
[04:44] RED
    Believe it or not,
     I can fight when I need to.
[04:57] RUTI
    We're pretty strong.
[05:00] RUTI
    Do you understand now?
[05:01] KID1
    You're awesome, miss!
[05:04] KID2
    How'd you do that?!
[05:05] KID3
    Teach me how!
[05:06] KIDS
    Whoa!
[05:08] KIDS
    That's cool!
[05:09] KIDS
    I wanna try it, too!
[05:15] RIT
    We're not finding any signs
    of an ogre king's presence.
[05:18] RED
    Yeah. Maybe someone
    misunderstood what they saw.
[05:21] RED
    Sorry for dragging you two out.
    I just really wanted to help.
[05:25] RIT
    I get it. Kids are great, huh?
[05:27] RIT
    I would like to take ours on a walk someday.
[05:29] RED
    Sounds good.
[05:31] RUTI
    Big Brother, Rit, their kids, and me...
[05:34] RUTI
    That sounds fun.
[05:37] RIT
    Red.
[05:38] RED
    Find something?
[05:40] RIT
    Take a look.
[05:46] RUTI
    The grass is all crumpled.
[05:48] RED
    Tracks?
[05:50] RIT
    Yeah. But it's choosing to walk on grass and
    stuff in order to avoid leaving footprints.
[05:55] RIT
    What kind of ogre king is this intelligent?
[06:05] RED
    Okay, so we've got some bad news.
[06:09] RIT
    There are at least 30 of them.
[06:11] RIT
    They seem to be scouting the village.
[06:13] VILLAGER2
    Scouting? Are ogre kings
    really capable of that?
[06:17] RIT
    Yeah... These don't seem
    to be ordinary ogre kings.
[06:21] RED
    Rit and I will get rid of them.
[06:24] RED
    Everyone, please gather the rest of the
    villagers and get to a safe place.
[06:30] RUTI
    I'll keep you safe.
[06:33] VILLAGER1
    Now that's reassuring! Thank you!
[06:37] VILLAGER2
    Red, Rit, you two be careful, too.
[06:39] RED
    R-Right.
[06:43] KID1
    You're really strong, miss.
[06:46] KID2
    You've got the champion's Blessing, right?
[06:49] RUTI
    I won't answer that.
[06:51] RUTI
    But my Blessing has nothing to do with it.
[06:54] RUTI
    I'm protecting you all because I want to.
[06:59] RUTI
    I don't let my Blessing tell me what to do.
[07:03] RUTI
    I act of my own free will.
[07:11] YARANDRALA
    Welcome.
[07:13] TISSE
    Hello.
[07:14] YARANDRALA
    How are things looking?
[07:16] TISSE
    Nothing to report yet.
[07:18] TISSE
    But that Hero is far too unlike Miss Ruti.
[07:23] YARANDRALA
    How so?
[07:25] TISSE
    Back when Miss Ruti was a Hero,
[07:28] TISSE
    her Blessing suppressed all her emotions.
[07:33] TISSE
    But Van the Hero is very expressive.
[07:36] TISSE
    And that makes me anxious.
[07:39] YARANDRALA
    About what?
[07:40] TISSE
    Well, I don't know if handing over
    the airship is such a good idea.
[07:44] YARANDRALA
    Huh...
[07:46] TISSE
    I'll continue to keep an eye on Van the
    Hero to see what kind of person he is.
[07:52] YARANDRALA
    Got it. But be careful.
[07:55] TISSE
    I will.
[07:56] TISSE
    How are things here?
[07:59] TISSE
    Are you having any trouble
    running the apothecary?
[08:02] YARANDRALA
    Well, that part's been fine.
[08:07] YARANDRALA
    Thing is, the plants have been acting
    strange ever since Van the Hero arrived.
[08:12] YARANDRALA
    They're all scared of some terrifying
    disaster that is drawing closer.
[08:17] TISSE
    Is this about Van the Hero?
[08:20] YARANDRALA
    No.
[08:24] YARANDRALA
    It appears something more nebulous
    has entered Zoltan with him.
[08:32] TOWNSFOLK1
    So that's Van the Hero.
[08:34] TOWNSFOLK2
    How nice of him to come all the way out here.
[08:36] TOWNSFOLK3
    We're so lucky!
[08:41] LAVENDER
    Yet another crowd of humans.
[08:44] LAVENDER
    They're such a nuisance.
[08:46] LAVENDER
    Boo!
[08:47] ESTA
    Stop it, Lavender.
[08:49] ESTA
    It's only natural for the people
    to take an interest in the Hero.
[08:52] LAVENDER
    Hmph! Nobody asked you, Esta!
[08:54] LAVENDER
    Anyway, what are we doing, Van? Sightseeing?
[08:57] VAN
    No.
[08:58] VAN
    As a Hero, I have to act according
    to the Almighty Demis's wishes.
[09:03] LAVENDER
    And what exactly does Demis want?
[09:06] VAN
    That's what I'm trying to figure out.
[09:10] TOWNKID1
    Eero!
[09:15] TANTA
    M-My apologies!
[09:17] TANTA
    You're bothering the Hero by
    clinging to him like that.
[09:22] ESTA
    Van.
[09:24] VAN
    Hello.
[09:27] TANTA
    Thank you.
[09:29] TOWNKID2
    Lucky him.
[09:31] TOWNKID3
    I wanna talk to the Hero, too.
[09:34] TOWNKID5
    Me, too!
[09:36] TANTA
    These are all children living at the church.
[09:39] VAN
    At the church?
[09:41] TANTA
    Yes. And I help take care of them.
[09:44] TANTA
    I know it's forward of me to ask,
[09:46] TANTA
    but could you talk to these kids for a bit?
[09:50] ESTA
    Sorry, but we're...
[09:52] VAN
    I don't mind.
[09:53] LAVENDER
    What?!
[09:55] ESTA
    Are you sure, Van?
[09:56] VAN
    Yes. As long as it doesn't take too long.
[09:59] TANTA
    Th-Thank you so much.
[10:04] PRIEST
    Thank you for granting the children's wish.
[10:08] PRIEST
    You are too kind.
[10:11] VAN
    I heard that these children live here.
[10:15] PRIEST
    That's right.
[10:16] PRIEST
    Children separated from their parents for
    various reasons have a new home here.
[10:22] PRIEST
    The former mayor Mistorm and
    I support their lives here.
[10:26] MISTORM
    Welcome, Sir Hero.
[10:28] MISTORM
    I extend my deepest gratitude to you, too.
[10:32] VAN
    I would also like to offer my help to
    make these kids' lives a little better.
[10:37] MISTORM
    Thank you.
[10:38] MISTORM
    Tanta, show them to the rooms, would you?
[10:42] TANTA
    Sure.
[10:43] TANTA
    This way, please.
[10:45] TOWNKID2
    Hero, tell us about your adventures!
[10:48] TOWNKID3
    I wanna know, too!
[10:49] TOWNKID4
    Same!
[10:50] TOWNKID5
    Me, too!
[10:52] VAN
    Sure.
[10:52] TOWNKIDS
    Yay!
[10:54] LAVENDER
    Hey! Keep your paws off Van!
[10:59] MISTORM
    I haven't seen the children
    that happy for a while.
[11:04] MISTORM
    The Hero is a very kind boy.
[11:07] ESTA
    If only he were like that all the time.
[11:10] ESTA
    You've heard what happened
    at the welcoming party, yes?
[11:13] MISTORM
    Bits and pieces, I suppose.
[11:15] ESTA
    That was rude to everyone there.
[11:18] ESTA
    Please allow me to apologize.
[11:21] ESTA
    Van is an innocent boy.
[11:23] ESTA
    And that innocence has unfortunately
    made him blind to people.
[11:26] ESTA
    Or so I thought.
[11:28] MISTORM
    But he seems to be gentle with children.
[11:31] ESTA
    Indeed.
[11:36] TOWNKID2
    So, what kind of places have you been to?
[11:40] TOWNKID3
    Have you fought any scary monsters?
[11:43] VAN
    Yeah.
[11:44] VAN
    I've been to various places
    and fought all kinds of foes.
[11:48] VAN
    My last battle was against an evil dragon.
[11:50] TOWNKID3
    What? You fought a dragon?!
[11:52] TOWNKID4
    Weren't you scared?
[11:54] VAN
    A Hero fears nothing.
[11:58] VAN
    No matter how formidable the foe,
    no matter how dire the situation,
[12:02] VAN
    it's a Hero's job to fight
    valiantly and never give up.
[12:06] TOWNKID4
    I want to go on adventures with you!
[12:08] LAVENDER
    Huh? There's no way!
[12:11] VAN
    Have any of you awakened your Blessing yet?
[12:16] VAN
    I see.
[12:18] VAN
    You can't decide how to live your life
    until you know what Blessing you have.
[12:23] TOWNKID3
    What? But Tanta's decided already.
[12:25] TOWNKID2
    He's gonna be a carpenter!
[12:28] VAN
    Is that so?
[12:30] TANTA
    Yes. I hope I receive a
    Blessing that helps with work.
[12:35] VAN
    That is for Lord Demis to decide.
[12:38] VAN
    You may even receive a Blessing
    that can make you a champion.
[12:42] TANTA
    Me? A champion?
[12:44] TANTA
    I'd never thought about that.
[12:48] TANTA
    But even if I did receive such a Blessing,
[12:50] TANTA
    I'd still want to be a carpenter.
[12:53] TANTA
    I want to build comfortable,
    safe homes and bring joy to all!
[12:58] VAN
    Joy?
[12:59] TANTA
    Yes!
[13:01] TANTA
    You eat with your family, take a relaxing bath,
    and sleep in a comfortable bed.
[13:06] TANTA
    Those are the greatest joys
    in life, don't you think?
[13:09] VAN
    That's wrong.
[13:10] VAN
    What you're talking about isn't joy.
[13:14] VAN
    It's decadence.
[13:15] TANTA
    D-Decadence?
[13:19] VAN
    True joy is only obtained by living
    in accordance with your Blessing.
[13:23] VAN
    Such is the will of Lord Demis,
    the almighty creator.
[13:32] VAN
    I see now.
[13:36] VAN
    Talking with you helped me understand.
[13:39] VAN
    I know now what I must do,
[13:41] VAN
    and that's change the mindset
    of the people in Zoltan.
[13:44] VAN
    That is my duty as the Hero.
[13:49] RIT
    They're really good at covering their tracks.
[13:53] RIT
    These are no ordinary ogre kings.
[13:55] RED
    Yeah, we'll have to stay on our toes.
[13:58] RED
    But if we can't deal with them,
    Zoltan will hear about it.
[14:03] RED
    And then the Hero, who is incapable
    of ignoring people in need,
[14:06] RED
    will likely come to this village.
[14:08] RIT
    That would be bad.
[14:17] RED
    I smell beasts. They're close.
[14:19] RIT
    Yeah.
[14:27] RED
    We can beat them no problem.
[14:29] RED
    But that one certainly felt unusual.
[14:32] RIT
    Yeah. I've never seen an
    ogre king use a weapon before.
[14:36] RIT
    Red, there are more of them.
[14:39] RED
    Right. Let's do this.
[14:40] RIT
    Yeah!
[14:52] RIT
    They're using martial arts?!
[14:54] RED
    Must be the Divine Blessing
    of the Martial Artist!
[14:58] RED
    Magic?!
[15:10] RED
    And that was the Divine Blessing of the Mage.
[15:13] RIT
    I've never seen an ogre king like that!
[15:15] RED
    They have multiple Blessings.
[15:18] RIT
    That's just crazy.
[15:20] RED
    But it's the only explanation.
[15:36] RED
    I hope that was the last of them.
[15:38] RIT
    Phew. Mission complete.
[15:42] RED
    Huh...
[15:44] RED
    Is this a piece of ancient elven ruins?
[15:54] RIT
    Red, what is that?
[15:57] RED
    I don't know what it says,
    but that's ancient elven writing.
[16:01] RIT
    Are you sure?
[16:03] RED
    Yeah. I've seen it before, somewhere.
[16:06] RIT
    You know, you said they
    had multiple Blessings.
[16:11] RIT
    You know what else did? The gem beast.
[16:19] RED
    Maybe the beast was linked to
    ancient elves somehow, too.
[16:26] TOWNKID2
    Thank you, Sir Hero!
[16:28] TOWNKID1
    Bye-bye!
[16:29] VAN
    Sure.
[16:30] TOWNKIDS
    Bye-bye!
[16:31] TOWNKIDS
    That was fun!
[16:33] ESTA
    We'll take our leave now.
[16:35] MISTORM
    Before you go, Esta...
[16:37] ESTA
    Yes?
[16:38] MISTORM
    I've heard that all Heroes have a Guide.
[16:42] MISTORM
    Please stay beside the Hero and
    lead him down the right path.
[16:55] ESTA
    Sorry I made you wait.
[16:56] VAN
    It's fine.
[16:57] ESTA
    I'm relieved, honestly.
[17:00] VAN
    By what?
[17:01] ESTA
    You used to act like you wanted
    nothing to do with people.
[17:05] ESTA
    But today, you interacted with the children
    without once complaining about it.
[17:11] VAN
    Oh. Those kids haven't
    awakened their Blessings yet.
[17:15] VAN
    And kids should be protected until
    they do and understand their roles.
[17:22] ESTA
    Is that what your Hero's
    Blessing is telling you?
[17:25] ESTA
    Or is that how you feel?
[17:28] VAN
    My feelings are always aligned with
    my Blessing and Lord Demis's will.
[17:33] VAN
    That's what makes a Hero.
[17:36] ESTA
    Is that so?
[17:37] LJUBO
    There you are, Van.
[17:40] LJUBO
    Just who I wanted to see.
    We know where we're headed to next.
[17:44] LJUBO
    She will take us there.
[17:46] TISSE
    I'm Tisse Garland.
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[17:49] LJUBO
    She comes with the recommendation
    of the Adventurers' Guild's brass.
[17:52] LJUBO
    They say she's one of the very
    top adventurers in all Zoltan.
[17:56] ESTA
    I am Escarlata Dias. It's nice to meet you.
[18:00] VAN
    And I'm Van—
[18:00] LAVENDER
    Wait a second.
[18:02] LAVENDER
    You were watching us the
    other night, weren't you?
[18:05] TISSE
    That's right. I was working
    a second job that night.
[18:08] LAVENDER
    One of the very top adventurers
    has a second job?
[18:11] TISSE
    I'm saving up to go on a hot springs trip.
[18:13] LAVENDER
    Hot springs?
[18:14] TISSE
    Right.
[18:15] TISSE
    Have you heard of the Camillo hot springs?
[18:17] TISSE
    It's one of the top three
    hot spring resorts in Avalon,
[18:20] TISSE
    famous for its heat retention that
    keeps it hot from spring to winter.
[18:26] TISSE
    It cures shoulder and back pain,
    and also poor circulation in an instant,
[18:30] TISSE
    and is so popular that prices
    in nearby inns have skyrocketed.
[18:33] TISSE
    You could build a house in Zoltan with the
    money it costs to stay one night there.
[18:40] TISSE
    By the way, it's located here.
[18:42] LAVENDER
    You don't say?
[18:45] LAVENDER
    Whatever.
[18:46] LAVENDER
    Who spends money on hot water?
[18:49] LAVENDER
    Humans do the stupidest things.
[18:53] LAVENDER
    Hmph!
[18:56] RED
    The villagers shared this with us as thanks.
[18:59] RIT
    Wow!
[19:00] RIT
    This should last us three days!
[19:02] RUTI
    Curry every day. I love it.
[19:05] RED
    So, do you want to have dinner right away?
[19:07] RIT
    Hmm... I want to take a bath first.
[19:12] RIT
    I'm all sticky and gross.
[19:14] RED
    I'll get the bath ready, then. You two relax.
[19:19] RUTI
    No.
[19:20] RED
    Ruti?
[19:21] RUTI
    You need to rest tonight.
[19:24] RED
    Nah, I'm still fine.
[19:27] RUTI
    You worked hard today,
    so I want to do something for you.
[19:31] RED
    Gotcha. Thanks, Ruti.
[19:34] RUTI
    I want to do something for you, too, Rit.
    Let's take a bath together.
[19:39] RIT
    Huh?
[19:50] RUTI
    Okay. Let's do the front next.
[19:52] RIT
    What?!
[19:54] RIT
    Y-You don't mean...
[20:00] RUTI
    Here I go.
[20:09] RUTI
    Wait...
[20:11] RUTI
    How do I do the front, again?
[20:13] RIT
    I'll do it myself!
[20:16] RUTI
    You two always do so much for me,
    so I wanted to show my appreciation.
[20:21] RUTI
    And there's something
    I haven't said to you yet.
[20:25] RIT
    What's that?
[20:29] RUTI
    Congratulations on your engagement.
[20:33] RUTI
    Big Brother never had a
    moment's peace on our travels.
[20:37] RUTI
    But it's different now.
[20:40] RUTI
    He looks really happy with you.
[20:44] RIT
    Ruti...
[20:46] RIT
    Yeah, I couldn't be happier myself.
[20:50] RUTI
    Marrying you will make him even happier.
[20:54] RUTI
    And that will make me all the more happy.
[21:00] RIT
    Ruti!
[21:04] RIT
    Listen, Ruti...
[21:07] RIT
    You've had to bear such a
    heavy burden for so long.
[21:11] RIT
    But it's not just Red anymore.
[21:14] RIT
    I'm on your side, too.
[21:16] RUTI
    Rit...
[21:21] RUTI
    Thanks.
[21:34] RED
    Sounds like Van's heading out to
    take out Dantak the hill giant.
[21:38] RED
    Tisse will be going with
    him to show him the way.
[21:41] RIT
    Tisse?
[21:43] RED
    Yeah. I'm sure she'll be fine,
[21:46] RED
    but if Van finds out she's hiding her
    identity from him, he may consider her an enemy.
[21:52] RIT
    Tisse may be strong, but even
    she'd be in danger then.
[21:56] RUTI
    Mr. Crawly Wawly.
[21:58] RUTI
    If Tisse's in trouble, come to me.
[22:02] RUTI
    Be it the Church or the Hero,
[22:05] RUTI
    I'm not letting anyone hurt my best friend.

[00:03] VAN
    Dantak, you are the last hill giant standing.
[00:07] DANTAK
    Why do this?!
[00:10] VAN
    Because of your sloth.
[00:12] DANTAK
    Sloth?
[00:14] VAN
    Monsters refusing to kill people
    and hiding out in their castle?
[00:20] VAN
    That defies Lord Demis's teachings.
[00:22] DANTAK
    Who are you?
[00:26] VAN
    Van the Hero, slayer of evil.
[00:30] DANTAK
    "Hero"?
[00:32] DANTAK
    Like some crazy kid—
[00:40] VAN
    The evil has been dispatched.
[00:41] LAVENDER
    Squee! You're the best, Van!
[00:44] TISSE
    This guy is nuts.
SIGN    Banished from the Hero's Party,
    I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside 2nd
SIGN    All for Blessings and Faith
[02:28] TISSE
    That smells good, Esta.
[02:32] ESTA
    Why don't you join me for supper?
[02:34] TISSE
    Where are the others?
[02:36] ESTA
    Van and Lavender went to hunt down monsters.
[02:39] ESTA
    Cardinal Ljubo is out like a light.
[02:43] TISSE
    Then don't mind if I do.
[02:51] THEODORA
    We used to sit around campfires
    like this all the time, huh?
[02:55] TISSE
    We did.
[02:56] TISSE
    What has changed is that you never
    used to cook, Miss Theodora.
[03:02] THEODORA
    I picked up a cooking skill.
[03:04] THEODORA
    It's pretty enjoyable.
[03:07] TISSE
    Following in Red's footsteps?
[03:10] THEODORA
    I am.
[03:11] THEODORA
    I wish to be like him.
[03:13] THEODORA
    Not only in cooking, but also in
    supporting and guiding a Hero.
[03:18] THEODORA
    However, all I'm learning these
    days is how lacking I truly am.
[03:22] TISSE
    I would say that's more
    an issue with your Hero.
[03:26] TISSE
    Albert was worried about you, too.
[03:30] THEODORA
    Albert... I have caused him untold trouble.
[03:34] TISSE
    But he spoke about you with so much pride.
[03:40] TISSE
    I think he is happy getting
    to work alongside you.
[03:43] THEODORA
    What? Did he really?
[03:46] TISSE
    Yes.
[03:47] TISSE
    He also seemed to miss you very much.
[03:51] THEODORA
    What?
[03:52] THEODORA
    He... misses me?!
[03:57] THEODORA
    I-Is that so?
[04:00] THEODORA
    I miss him myself.
[04:02] THEODORA
    If afforded the chance,
    I would like to see him soon.
[04:06] THEODORA
    Wait, I mean...
[04:08] THEODORA
    What am I even saying?
[04:10] THEODORA
    Please do not misunderstand.
[04:12] THEODORA
    I merely wish to see a good friend again.
[04:18] ESTA
    A-Anyway, you see how it is now.
[04:21] ESTA
    Oh, I feel thirsty all of a sudden.
[04:24] ESTA
    Let me go get some water.
[04:30] TISSE
    Someone's in love!
[04:36] PROPRIETRESS
    Have some freshly made,
    village specialty curry buns!
[04:40] PROPRIETRESS
    Eat as much as you like!
[04:43] PROPRIETRESS
    Don't hold back, now.
[04:47] RUTI
    Curry for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
[04:49] RED
    Shh!
[04:52] RIT
    Oh, I love this aroma and
    the rich spicy flavor!
[04:58] RED
    Fried bread. Talk about indulgence.
[05:03] RUTI
    The filling's curry.
[05:04] RED
    Well, it is curry bread.
[05:06] VILLAGEGIRL1
    Wow!
[05:07] VILLAGEGIRL2
    Look, look!
[05:09] VILLAGEGIRL1
    That's amazing.
[05:10] VILLAGEGIRL2
    Where are they going?
[05:13] VILLAGEROLD
    It's not every day the pegasi
    fly over our village.
[05:17] PROPRIETRESS
    Rare? I don't think I've ever seen it happen.
[05:21] RIT
    It's like they're trying to escape.
[05:27] RUTI
    Something's approaching.
[05:37] ESTA
    The Fairy King's shield.
[05:39] ESTA
    It allows its wielder to
    use mind control magic.
[05:45] ESTA
    I trust you understand how dangerous that is.
[05:48] LAVENDER
    Another lecture?
[05:50] LAVENDER
    You're such a nag.
[05:53] VAN
    That depends on how it's used.
[05:55] VAN
    Used correctly, it can guide
    evildoers onto a path of faith.
[06:01] ESTA
    Forcing someone to pray
    won't make them a believer.
[06:05] ESTA
    That thing needs to be sealed away.
[06:07] LAVENDER
    That shield is Van's.
[06:09] LAVENDER
    How he uses it is none of your business.
[06:18] MISTORM
    We're only here to hand over the airship to
    the Hero, and yet they're ready to party.
[06:23] MISTORM
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[06:25] TORNED
    Surely there won't be an issue this time.
[06:28] TORNED
    This is what the Hero wants most, after all.
[06:34] MOGRIM
    Right, that should do it.
[06:36] MIDO
    Mogrim.
[06:37] MIDO
    How's the wife?
[06:39] MOGRIM
    I keep telling her to rest,
    but she just won't listen to me.
[06:44] MOGRIM
    I'm so nervous all the time.
[06:46] NEWMAN
    Well, it's still early.
[06:48] NEWMAN
    But you need to be there for her and
    make sure she doesn't overexert herself.
[06:53] MOGRIM
    Oh, I intend to do just that!
[07:02] STORMTHUNDER
    So, how's the new business going?
[07:05] GODWIN
    It's starting to turn a profit.
[07:08] GODWIN
    The fragrant mushrooms from the Zoog Forest
[07:11] GODWIN
    are in pretty high demand around these parts.
[07:13] STORMTHUNDER
    Ooh, you're gonna be rich!
[07:15] GONZ
    Take us out to dinner sometime.
[07:17] GODWIN
    Wha? Why would I have to
    wine and dine you idiots?
[07:21] GODWIN
    You guys buy me something!
[07:22] GONZ
    C'mon, what's the big deal?
[07:26] GONZ
    Be a man!
[07:27] GODWIN
    Shaddup!
[07:29] GODWIN
    You fools!
[07:30] GONZ
    Takes one to know one!
[07:30] NAO
    Hey, you guys!
[07:32] NAO
    Behave! Look how good the kids are being!
[07:36] MEGRIA
    Hello.
[07:38] MEGRIA
    Can I have one?
[07:41] TOWNKID5
    The Hero's gonna love this!
[07:44] TANTA
    Yeah, he is.
[07:45] (Flashback) VAN
    That's wrong.
[07:47] (Flashback) VAN
    What you're talking about isn't joy.
[07:50] (Flashback) VAN
    It's decadence.
[07:54] GUY
    The Hero has returned!
[07:59] LJUBO
    So you've found the airship at long last.
[08:03] PRIEST
    Indeed.
[08:04] TORNED
    Now please raise a toast
    at the celebratory party.
[08:09] GIRL
    Sir Hero!
[08:10] GUY
    Congratulations!
[08:13] VAN
    Not again.
[08:14] VAN
    A party is wholly unnecessary.
[08:18] ESTA
    Mayor, we appreciate the sentiment,
[08:21] ESTA
    but we must refrain from taking part
    as we have prior commitments.
[08:26] TORNED
    I understand.
[08:28] TORNED
    We failed to take the
    Hero's duties into account.
[08:31] TORNED
    Please excuse our thoughtlessness.
[08:33] TORNED
    We pray to Lord Demis that you
    may find success in your travels.
[08:38] VAN
    Prayers from heretics won't
    reach the Almighty's ears.
[08:51] LJUBO
    Van, that was inappropriate.
[08:54] LJUBO
    Take it back and apologize.
[08:57] VAN
    No, I don't believe I need to.
[09:00] VAN
    I am the Hero, and I've
    undergone training as a monk.
[09:03] VAN
    One of my tasks is to guide
    heretics onto the right path.
[09:07] TISSE
    What's he talking about?
[09:10] TISSE
    The Divine Blessings show that
    everyone worships Lord Demis.
[09:15] TISSE
    Yet he calls us heretics?
[09:21] TISSE
    My tummy hurts.
[09:24] GALATINE
    Sir Hero, you realize
     you're being highly insulting?
[09:28] PRIEST
    What makes you say that we're heretics?
[09:31] VAN
    The fact that you're living
    pointless, indolent lives here.
[09:35] VAN
    As the scriptures state,
[09:37] VAN
    sloth is a mortal sin, one that goes against
    the roles given to us by the Almighty.
[09:41] VAN
    You people need to repent and mend your ways.
[09:45] VAN
    What you have to do is clear.
[09:51] VAN
    You will fight the demon lord's army with me!
[09:54] GUY
    The demon lord's army?
[09:56] GIRL
    Us? Fight?
[09:58] VAN
    It is your sacred duty to
    fight alongside the Hero!
[10:03] TORNED
    We have our land to protect,
    and our lives to consider.
[10:07] VAN
    Cast it aside.
[10:09] VAN
    This remote land is not worth anything.
[10:14] TISSE
    Uh oh.
[10:17] TORNED
    Our grandparents put their lives
    on the line to develop Zoltan!
[10:22] TORNED
    And you call it worthless?
[10:24] TORNED
    Even if you are the Hero,
    I must say that is beyond rude!
[10:28] VAN
    Rude?
[10:30] VAN
    Etiquette is but norms created by people.
[10:32] VAN
    I am talking about the divine.
[10:43] VAN
    Why are they like this?
[10:45] TISSE
    They all love Zoltan very much.
[10:50] TISSE
    They cherish their peaceful lives here.
[10:57] VAN
    Ridiculous.
[11:01] MISTORM
    What are you thinking?
[11:02] ESTA
    Stop it.
[11:04] LAVENDER
    You will not get in Van's way.
[11:06] ESTA
    Move! What Van's about to do
    is not the least bit heroic!
[11:11] LAVENDER
    I agree. But so what?
[11:14] LAVENDER
    In my eyes, everything Van does is right.
[11:25] MISTORM
    This magic... Could it be?
[11:31] ESTA
    Cardinal Ljubo!
[11:35] LJUBO
    Failure will help Van learn.
[11:38] LJUBO
    And the deaths of a few hicks won't hurt
    the Hero's reputation in the least.
[11:46] LAVENDER
    You stay put, too, Tisse.
[11:49] LAVENDER
    Try to stop Van, and I'll kill you.
[11:54] VAN
    This is the Fairy King's shield.
[11:58] VAN
    It has the power to guide you to
    the correct path and save you.
[12:03] VAN
    You ignore the Hero's offer
    and choose a life of peace?
[12:06] VAN
    Lord Demis will not stand for it!
[12:08] VAN
    Now, let us fight the demon
    lord's army together!
[12:15] YARANDRALA
    Thorn Bind!
[12:18] VAN
    What?
[12:21] YARANDRALA
    Van the Hero... You're taking this too far.
[12:24] VAN
    Who are you?!
[12:26] YARANDRALA
    Just a friendly high elf residing in Zoltan.
[12:31] YARANDRALA
    What kind of hero uses mind control magic?
[12:34] YARANDRALA
    You're more like a villain.
[12:36] VAN
    You dare call the Hero a villain?
[12:38] VAN
    You have no right to talk
    about right and wrong.
[12:44] VAN
    I am Van the Hero,
[12:46] VAN
    slayer of evil!
[12:49] YARANDRALA
    Stinger Weeds!
[13:04] TANTA
    Let's get away from here!
[13:04] MEGRIA
    Hurry, everyone!
[13:16] DANAN
    Martial Art:
[13:18] DANAN
    Destructive Comet Kick!
[13:27] DANAN
    Phew, close shave.
[13:29] YARANDRALA
    Danan.
[13:30] DANAN
    You can't take the Hero on alone.
    I'll pitch in.
[13:34] YARANDRALA
    Just know what you're getting into.
[13:36] DANAN
    It's pretty obvious.
[13:38] YARANDRALA
    Why isn't he healing himself?
[13:40] YARANDRALA
    If he's the Hero, he can use Healing Hands.
[13:42] DANAN
    Who knows?
[13:44] YARANDRALA
    His body may be superhuman,
    but he should still feel pain.
[13:48] VAN
    Two great evils!
[13:51] VAN
    But I am the Hero.
[13:52] VAN
    I will not succumb to evil!
[13:54] DANAN
    I see now. It's the faith in his
    Blessing that keeps him going.
[14:00] DANAN
    Time to kick his butt and
    take him down a peg.
[14:04] VAN
    Lord Demis, I present
    to you the Hero's fight.
[14:10] DANAN
    Martial Art: Fierce Tiger Claws!
[14:14] VAN
    Martial Art: Holy Blade.
[14:24] YARANDRALA
    Let me help.
[14:37] VAN
    It hurts...
[14:39] VAN
    But... a Hero must not yield.
[14:43] VAN
    Healing Hands Mastery...
[14:45] VAN
    Reflection.
[14:50] DANAN
    Ow.
[14:52] VAN
    Amazing.
[14:53] VAN
    That hurt me quite a bit,
    but it's not affecting you at all.
[14:57] VAN
    You are a worthy opponent for the Hero.
[15:00] YARANDRALA
    Are you okay?
[15:02] DANAN
    You transferred the wound over to me?
[15:05] DANAN
    Not a very heroic skill.
[15:07] VAN
    It's a skill that allows me to
    heal using my opponent's vitality.
[15:12] VAN
    With this skill, I can turn
    any dire situation around.
[15:16] VAN
    No matter how great the evil,
    the Hero will not give in.
[15:20] DANAN
    What kind of hero passes
    his pain off to others?!
[15:26] VAN
    It is the almighty Lord Demis
    who made me Hero.
[15:31] VAN
    You reject the Almighty's will.
[15:34] VAN
    There is no greater heresy.
SIGN    You are the man who killed our  brethren and stole our treasure.
SIGN    The time has come for you to  taste our wrath and vengeance!
[15:54] VAN
    Curse those evil dragons.
[15:56] VAN
    Have they come to take my shield?
[16:02] YARANDRALA
    Great spirit of the mighty tree!
[16:14] YARANDRALA
    The salt dragons are a
    bad match for my powers.
[16:18] DANAN
    They're gonna destroy the town!
[16:20] YARANDRALA
    Yes, I know!
[16:22] VAN
    You're mine!
[16:23] DANAN
    You punk!
[16:25] YARANDRALA
    Great spirit of the mighty tree!
[16:30] VAN
    That's a shame.
[16:31] DANAN
    If you're really a hero, you should
    be thinking of saving people!
[16:36] VAN
    This must be Lord Demis's will.
[16:38] VAN
    If the salt dragons destroy this land,
[16:42] VAN
    even the lazy Zoltanians
    will join the war, surely?
[16:47] DANAN
    Okay, enough of your crap.
[16:50] DANAN
    You're going down first!
[16:56] VAN
    Healing Hands Mastery...
[16:58] VAN
    Reflection.
[17:09] RED
    Kept you waiting, huh?
[17:11] YARANDRALA
    Red!
[17:12] DANAN
    What're you doing here?
[17:19] VAN
    What are you doing?
[17:25] VAN
    Why, you!
[17:48] RED
    Here come the salt dragons.
[17:50] RED
    Van will follow soon, probably.
[17:53] RED
    Thanks, Mr. Crawly Wawly.
[17:56] RED
    Without your threads,
    I never would've made it in time.
[18:02] RED
    Now I need to make sure his
    efforts don't go to waste.
[18:10] RED
    Hear me out!
SIGN    Immense bloodlust...
[18:21] RED
    It's the Hero.
[18:23] RED
    Listen to me.
[18:25] RED
    I ran here so I could return this to you.
[18:29] RED
    It was yours to begin with, right?
SIGN    Indeed. The former demon lord  entrusted us with that treasure.
[18:37] RED
    Knew it.
[18:39] RED
    Take it back.
SIGN    Beware of that Hero.
[18:54] RED
    I appreciate the warning, but...
[18:57] VAN
    Martial Art:
[18:58] RED
    It's too late.
[18:59] VAN
    Holy Blade!
[19:06] RED
    Oh, boy. That's going to
    give travelers a hard time.
[19:11] RED
    You fail as a Hero.
[19:13] VAN
    So you're a heretic, too.
[19:15] RED
    There!
[19:18] RED
    If you can't swing your blade,
    you won't be cutting anyone down.
[19:23] VAN
    Wh-Why, you! Get away from me!
[19:26] RED
    You've worked on leveling up your Blessing,
[19:28] RED
    but not your swordsmanship.
[19:30] VAN
    Swordsmanship? A mere human technique?
[19:32] VAN
    It is nothing in the face
    of my Divine Blessing!
[19:36] RED
    Oh, so that's how you think.
[19:39] RED
    That explains why I could lure you
    out of town, away from your party.
[19:45] VAN
    If I can't use my sword,
    then I have my magic!
[19:51] RED
    Don't expect to use any magic at this range.
[19:54] VAN
    What are you buying time for?
[19:56] VAN
    The Hero can fight all night long
    and not even be short of breath!
[20:00] RED
    Oh, I don't think it'll take that long.
[20:02] RED
    You know why?
[20:06] VAN
    Who?
[20:20] VAN
    Who... was that?
[20:24] RUTI
    Not anyone important.
[20:26] RUTI
    No need to remember me tomorrow.
[20:29] RED
    Van's party will be here soon.
[20:31] RED
    We should leave before they see our faces.
[20:33] RUTI
    Yep.
[20:39] VAN
    I'm cold...
[20:41] VAN
    Oh, so I'm about to die.
[20:45] VAN
    The Hero was defeated.
[20:51] VAN
    And that's fine.
[20:53] VAN
    The Hero's job is to fight evil, not to win.
[20:59] VAN
    And I did what was asked of me.
[21:03] VAN
    But why did it have to be that girl?
[21:07] LAVENDER
    Van!
[21:08] LAVENDER
    Oh, how awful! Don't die, Van!
[21:08] VAN
    If everything proceeds
    according to Lord Demis's will,
[21:12] LJUBO
    Cast Regenerate.
[21:12] VAN
    then I must have met that
    girl for a reason...
[21:15] ESTA
    Right.
[21:22] VAN
    I see...
[21:31] VAN
    Healing Hands.
[21:39] LAVENDER
    Are you all right?!
[21:40] LAVENDER
    That must've hurt! I'm so sorry!
[21:42] LAVENDER
    I won't leave you alone ever again!
[21:47] VAN
    So this is part of my role.
[21:50] LAVENDER
    Van?
[21:52] VAN
    I will kill that girl.
[21:55] VAN
    And I will become the true Hero.
[22:02] VAN
    The Lord is come!

SIGN    Take Out the Fairy in Love and the Greedy Cardinal
[01:59] RED
    You all know why we're here.
[02:02] RED
    We need to talk about Van.
[02:05] ALBERT
    I've received word from Esta that
    Van will return to Zoltan shortly.
[02:11] ALBERT
    He has gained more confidence after
    hunting monsters in the southern seas.
[02:17] DADAN
    Tch. So he's raring to go.
[02:21] ALBERT
    Apparently, he often says he will kill
    Miss Ruti with a smile on his face.
[02:26] TISSE
    That's creepy.
[02:28] DADAN
    So, how are we gonna kick that kid's butt?
[02:31] YARANDRALA
    That'll just make things worse.
[02:34] YARANDRALA
    Driving him out of Zoltan without
    any fighting would be best.
[02:37] RED
    That's the goal, yes.
[02:40] RED
    I figured we should plan ahead.
[02:45] YARANDRALA
    Those portraits are good! Who drew them?
[02:48] TISSE
    I did.
[02:49] RUTI
    Tisse's very artistic.
[02:54] TISSE
    Now, let's go over what
     we know one more time.
[02:59] ALBERT
    Right.
[03:00] ALBERT
    First, there's Van.
[03:02] ALBERT
    He was the eighth prince of
    the kingdom of Flamberge,
[03:05] ALBERT
    and he was raised in a
    monastery from a young age.
[03:10] ALBERT
    It seems that some royal and noble families
[03:12] ALBERT
    see raising their own
    children as a mark of shame.
[03:17] RIT
    Yeah, I've heard about that.
[03:20] RIT
    But I want to raise our
    children with love and care!
[03:23] RED
    Yeah, I agree with that.
[03:26] RUTI
    I like it.
[03:30] TISSE
    Um...
[03:32] TISSE
    I guess we can say Van's zeal
    comes from his upbringing.
[03:37] RED
    Yeah. Later, Van arrived
    at the Great Last Wall,
[03:41] RED
    proclaiming himself to be the Hero.
[03:43] ALBERT
    Right.
[03:44] ALBERT
    And, once the Church recognized him as such,
[03:48] ALBERT
    he spent all his time hunting monsters
    and raising his Blessing's level.
[03:54] YARANDRALA
    That's the big issue.
[03:56] YARANDRALA
    He has lost many a friend on those hunts.
[04:00] YARANDRALA
    The Divine Blessing of the Hero doesn't
    allow one to abandon their party members.
[04:05] RED
    Van probably believes with all his heart
[04:08] RED
    that developing his Blessing
    comes before saving his friends.
[04:14] RED
    That's what enables him to leave them to die.
[04:18] DANAN
    The more I hear, the more he pisses me off!
[04:20] DANAN
    How can a guy like that be the Hero?!
[04:22] YARANDRALA
    Calm down, Danan.
[04:24] ALBERT
    That's about all the
    information we have on Van.
[04:29] RIT
    I don't really get him.
[04:31] RIT
    What is this boy even thinking?
[04:33] RUTI
    His world is tiny.
[04:36] RUTI
    All that exists in it is
    himself and the Almighty.
[04:40] RUTI
    No parents, no friends,
[04:42] RUTI
    no loved ones.
[04:45] TISSE
    That allows him to trust his
    beliefs unconditionally.
[04:48] TISSE
    He doesn't waver or lose heart.
[04:55] RED
    As for Ljubo and Lavender...
[04:57] RIT
    Mistorm told us a little about Lavender.
[05:01] (Flashback) MISTORM
    Lavender...
[05:03] (Flashback) MISTORM
    I've met her in the past,
    before moving to Zoltan.
[05:08] (Flashback) MISTORM
    She looked different, but I could
    recognize her mana anywhere.
[05:13] (Flashback) YARANDRALA
    What do you mean, she looked different?
[05:16] (Flashback) MISTORM
    When I met her, she was a dark shadow
    that could control lightning.
[05:21] (Flashback) MISTORM
    As much as I hate to admit it, she's not
    someone I can fight now that I've retired.
[05:27] (Flashback) MISTORM
    May I ask you to handle her?
[05:34] YARANDRALA
    Given the chance of collateral damage,
[05:36] YARANDRALA
    we should to try to avoid
    fighting Lavender directly.
[05:39] YARANDRALA
    But I can't even begin to think
    about how we could talk her down.
[05:47] RIT
    Let me talk to her.
[05:51] TISSE
    She's a monster we know
    nothing about. Are you sure?
[05:54] RIT
    I feel like I'm the best one for the job.
[05:57] RIT
    Because, just like her, I'm in love, too!
[06:00] YARANDRALA
    Wha?
[06:06] RIT
    Uh...
[06:07] RIT
    Lavender is totally different from us humans,
[06:10] RIT
    but she and I are similar in
    that we're both madly in love!
[06:13] RIT
    I figured I could use that to negotiate.
[06:16] YARANDRALA
    That's it?!
[06:17] RIT
    That is it! But it's not like
    anyone else has any ideas!
[06:25] RED
    Well...
[06:27] RED
    Danan, could you go with Rit?
[06:29] DANAN
    Why me? It'd be better if you went.
[06:33] RED
    I'll talk to Ljubo.
[06:36] YARANDRALA
    Sounds good! I'll go with you!
[06:40] DANAN
    All right. I'll keep Rit safe.
[06:44] RIT
    Thanks, Danan.
[06:46] ALBERT
    Cardinal Ljubo was born a peasant.
[06:49] ALBERT
    He made his name purely off
    his Cardinal's Blessing.
[06:55] ALBERT
    He is ruthless when sating his desires,
    not hesitating to bribe, embezzle, and such.
[07:00] TISSE
    But he knows who you are, Red.
[07:04] RED
    I'll wear a disguise.
[07:06] RED
    Ruti, make sure they don't
    find out who you are.
[07:09] RED
    Tisse, back Ruti up for me.
[07:12] TISSE
    Sure.
[07:15] RED
    This is all to protect Zoltan and Ruti.
[07:19] RED
    I'm counting on you all.
[07:20] ALL
    Yeah!
[07:21] YARANDRALA
    You got it.
[07:22] RUTI
    Thanks, everyone.
[07:26] RED
    That should do it for this meeting.
[07:29] RED
    Let's eat.
[07:30] DANAN
    Now that's what I like to hear!
[07:53] RED
    What's up, Tisse?
[07:55] TISSE
    Oh, Red.
[07:57] TISSE
    Well, it's just...
[08:00] TISSE
    I was wondering if there's anything I can do
[08:02] TISSE
    to prepare before Van comes back to Zoltan.
[08:05] RED
    Too anxious to relax?
[08:07] TISSE
    Yes.
[08:09] TISSE
    The problem with Van the Hero
    is less that he's powerful
[08:11] TISSE
    and more that he's a terrifying human being.
[08:14] TISSE
    My Blessing tells me that
    killing him will not be easy.
[08:19] RED
    If that's how you feel, it must be true.
[08:23] TISSE
    What did you think?
[08:26] TISSE
    Why are Van and Miss Ruti so different,
[08:30] TISSE
    even though they're both heroes?
[08:32] RED
    Well, their mindsets in battle
    are extremely different.
[08:39] TISSE
    Mindsets?
[08:42] RED
    Ruti is an indomitable Hero,
[08:45] RED
    one who won't succumb
    to any foe she comes up against.
[08:49] TISSE
    And what about Van?
[08:51] RED
    He probably doesn't care
    about his foes at all.
[08:53] RED
    Just about winning with the ultimate attacks.
[08:57] RED
    He's trying to be an
    invincible Hero, basically.
[09:00] TISSE
    An indomitable Hero, and an invincible one.
[09:04] RED
    Ruti's prepared to match up
    with all kinds of opponents,
[09:07] RED
    whereas with Van, it simply doesn't matter.
[09:10] RED
    Personally, I wouldn't choose his approach.
[09:13] TISSE
    Me neither.
[09:16] TISSE
    My sword has a surefire technique as well,
[09:19] TISSE
    but relying too much on it will surely
    lead to my defeat in the future.
[09:23] RED
    And that's his weakness.
[09:27] RED
    In other words, Van relies
    completely on his Blessing,
[09:30] RED
    while Ruti's more than her Blessing.
[09:32] TISSE
    I see now what makes them so different.
[09:37] TISSE
    Miss Ruti's strength
    comes from your guidance.
[09:41] RED
    All I ever wanted to do was make
    sure she could protect herself.
[09:47] TISSE
    I'm glad she had you as her Guide.
[09:51] TISSE
    Van must not have had
    anyone like you around.
[09:57] TISSE
    Yeah, his world really is a tiny one.
[10:03] TISSE
    I feel a bit better now.
[10:06] RED
    Great.
[10:12] ESTA
    Sir Ljubo.
[10:14] ESTA
    He may have raised his Blessing's level,
[10:16] ESTA
    but there's no guarantee
    he can defeat that girl.
[10:19] ESTA
    What point is there in risking the
    Hero's life all the way out here?
[10:24] LJUBO
    Either way, we need information.
[10:27] LJUBO
    Look into the girl who beat up
     Van and report back to me.
[10:45] GALATINE
    This has turned into one big mess.
[10:47] TORNED
    Who knows what he's going to start this time?
[10:50] MISTORM
    I've said this before,
[10:52] MISTORM
    but let Red and his friends handle the Hero.
[10:55] MISTORM
    All we can do is try and make
    sure the people don't panic.
[11:01] TORNED
    You're right. Let's go with that.
[11:21] ESTA
    Let me introduce you to my squire, Albert.
[11:26] ALBERT
    Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you all.
[11:30] LJUBO
    Esta's told me about you.
[11:32] LJUBO
    Do your best to be of use to the Hero.
[11:35] ALBERT
    I would be honored.
[11:37] ALBERT
    Sir Hero, how was your trip in the airship?
[11:41] VAN
    Very good.
[11:42] VAN
    The islands in the southern seas
     had many man-slaying monsters.
[11:45] VAN
    They were perfect fodder for my Blessing.
[11:48] LAVENDER
    Yeah! You'll win for sure next time!
[11:59] VAN
    I must go find that girl.
[12:01] LJUBO
    No.
[12:02] LJUBO
    We'll gather the information on her.
[12:05] ESTA
    You lack the Tracking Skill.
[12:09] LJUBO
    You should rest a little, Van.
[12:12] LJUBO
    Let us handle this matter.
[12:28] LAVENDER
    Van.
[12:29] LAVENDER
    It's okay. You have me.
[12:41] LAVENDER
    Oh? I see a couple of bugs.
[12:49] LAVENDER
    You two there! I see you buzzing around!
[12:53] RIT
    Aw, we got busted.
[12:56] LAVENDER
    I ought to smack you to the ground.
[12:58] RIT
    Yeah, you can fight for real
    without Van around, huh?
[13:03] LAVENDER
    Say what?
[13:04] RIT
    My Blessing tells me that
    tiny body isn't your real one.
[13:09] RIT
    In reality, your power is greater
    in size and more violent.
[13:14] RIT
    You're a powerful being
    who looks down on people.
[13:17] RIT
    Why are you hiding your true self
    and pretending to be a tiny fairy?
[13:24] RIT
    Is it because you're in love with Van?
[13:27] RIT
    You're well aware how terrifying
    your real self is to humans.
[13:32] RIT
    So you've taken the form of a typical
    fairy in order to endear yourself to him.
[13:37] LAVENDER
    Say one more word, and I'll kill you!
[13:43] RIT
    I have someone like that, too!
[13:45] RIT
    And I want to talk love with you!
[13:48] LAVENDER
    Huh?
[13:56] RIT
    I am Rizlet of Loggervia.
[13:59] RIT
    Call me Rit.
[14:01] LAVENDER
    Okay, Rit.
[14:03] LAVENDER
    So, is that the man you're in love with?
[14:09] RIT
    No, it's someone else.
[14:11] LAVENDER
    That's what I thought.
[14:12] LAVENDER
    He looks like there isn't a
    trace of romance in his life.
[14:15] RIT
    Lying to Lavender won't work.
[14:19] RIT
    I'll have to bare my heart to her
    and try to find common ground.
[14:23] RIT
    I used to be the princess of the Duchy
    of Loggervia, a country to the north.
[14:28] LAVENDER
    Wow, you're a princess?
[14:31] LAVENDER
    So your lover is a prince
    or a knight, perhaps?
[14:33] LAVENDER
    Or is it... whoa!
[14:35] RIT
    He's a foreign knight.
[14:37] RIT
    Now he lives in Zoltan with me as a commoner.
[14:41] LAVENDER
    Wait, you eloped?!
[14:43] LAVENDER
    Way to go!
[14:44] LAVENDER
    Yeah, you gotta be willing to sacrifice
    it all for the sake of your love!
[14:49] RIT
    Yes, I truly believe so myself.
[14:52] RIT
    I want to be with him always and
    forever, until I draw my last breath.
[14:59] LAVENDER
    Okay, you pass! Bring us some mead and salad!
[15:09] RIT
    So, yeah,
[15:10] RIT
    we were separated for a while there.
[15:14] RIT
    But that helped us both grow,
    and I fell for him anew when we met.
[15:19] LAVENDER
    Huh...
[15:22] LAVENDER
    So you hadn't fallen in love yet
    when you were still in Loggervia?
[15:27] RIT
    Not true! I loved the old Red, too!
[15:30] LAVENDER
    Listen to yourself.
[15:32] LAVENDER
    Love doesn't involve growth.
[15:34] LAVENDER
    Love is a beautiful, joyous,
    and a perfect thing!
[15:38] LAVENDER
    I wish time would stop the
    moment I fell in love,
[15:40] LAVENDER
    and nothing would change forever and ever.
[15:44] LAVENDER
    A love that doesn't make you
    feel that way is no love at all!
[15:48] RIT
    You want Van to stay the way he is, huh?
[15:51] LAVENDER
    Of course I do! More mead, please!
[15:55] RIT
    She doesn't want him to change...
[15:59] RIT
    But that means she's not
    taking his feelings into account.
[16:06] LAVENDER
    I would destroy the world for this emotion.
[16:09] LAVENDER
    That's what true love is.
[16:12] RIT
    But what if your side got destroyed instead?
[16:17] RIT
    I mean, the demon lord's army is
     full of incredibly formidable foes.
[16:21] RIT
    Sure, Van's the Hero,
    but that doesn't guarantee victory.
[16:25] RIT
    You love him, so you worry, right?
[16:29] LAVENDER
    Van staying the way he is
    comes before anything for me.
[16:33] LAVENDER
    And if that leads to his death,
[16:36] LAVENDER
    then I'll die with him.
[16:40] LAVENDER
    I will love Van until the moment I die.
[16:43] LAVENDER
    I couldn't ask for a happier ending.
[16:46] RIT
    So that's how you think.
[16:49] LAVENDER
    You don't?
[16:55] RIT
    Lavender, I have a favor to ask.
[16:58] LAVENDER
    A favor? Forget it.
[17:00] LAVENDER
    I only listen to Van.
[17:03] RIT
    But this is for Van's own good.
[17:06] LAVENDER
    Really? Let's hear it, then.
[17:09] RIT
    Tell him to leave Zoltan.
[17:15] RIT
    It's not worth risking
    his life to fight here.
[17:20] RIT
    All it would really do is
    raise his Blessing's level.
[17:22] RIT
    And I believe the Hero has
    bigger things to fight for.
[17:26] LAVENDER
    You have a point there.
[17:29] RIT
    Then...
[17:30] LAVENDER
    I still refuse, though.
[17:32] RIT
    Figures.
[17:34] LAVENDER
    Hah! Oh, I'm glad.
[17:36] LAVENDER
    If you'd insisted, I would've had to kill you.
[17:39] RIT
    Well, that's not ideal.
[17:42] RIT
    Okay, before we leave...
[17:47] RIT
    May we have many more
    peaceful chats like this one.
[17:50] LAVENDER
    This isn't something to
    pray about, you weirdo.
[17:54] RIT/LAVENDER
    Cheers!
[18:05] LJUBO
    Go! Keep going!
[18:08] LJUBO
    Run faster!
[18:09] LJUBO
    C'mon, get past 'im!
[18:12] LJUBO
    Pull away! Come on!
[18:14] LJUBO
    Wh-What? Why did you stop?
[18:17] LJUBO
    Run! Get going!
[18:20] LJUBO
    Oh, screw you! Give me back my money!
[18:24] LJUBO
    This is a setup! You guys rigged that race!
[18:27] RED
    Sir Ljubo.
[18:28] LJUBO
    I'm on break.
[18:30] LJUBO
    Come back another day.
[18:32] RED
    I think you would like
    to hear this information.
[18:35] RED
    You won't regret it.
[18:42] LJUBO
    Number 5's too fat.
[18:44] RED
    Well, this is Zoltan.
[18:46] RED
    You can't expect professionalism.
[18:48] LJUBO
    How much will you bet?
[18:56] (Flashback) YARANDRALA
    Red, are you sure about this?
[18:59] (Flashback) YARANDRALA
    If you're wrong, you'll never
    bring him to the table.
[19:02] (Flashback) RED
    I have a plan, of course.
[19:11] (Flashback) YARANDRALA
    Ah!
[19:18] LJUBO
    That was splendid.
[19:21] LJUBO
    She caught up from last
    place and won by a nose.
[19:26] RED
    Now that you've made a killing,
[19:28] RED
    I know of a restaurant with
    some excellent wine, Sir Ljubo.
[19:31] LJUBO
    Just so you know, I am pretty
    picky when it comes to wine.
[19:47] LJUBO
    Oh.
[19:49] LJUBO
    It's pleasantly refreshing.
    It feels like silk on the tongue.
[19:54] LJUBO
    Its fruitiness takes over slowly yet
    steadily, and I love its rich texture.
[20:04] LJUBO
    Oh, I see!
[20:08] LJUBO
    It also has a wild side, like a noblewoman
    stripping and running naked through the woods!
[20:16] LJUBO
    I never expected to encounter
    such a good wine in Zoltan.
[20:19] YARANDRALA
    This seafood dish goes well with it.
[20:24] LJUBO
    H-How is this seafood?
[20:27] YARANDRALA
    We smoked ground fish meat with herbs
    and roasted it with some fine olive oil.
[20:32] RED
    What is she even saying?
[20:35] LJUBO
    Seafood with red wine?
[20:37] LJUBO
    What is wrong with this establishment?
[20:48] LJUBO
    M-M-M-My word!
[20:53] LJUBO
    This goes against all conventional wisdom!
[20:55] LJUBO
    Such a deep flavor!
[21:00] RED
    Sir Ljubo, I have something to discuss.
[21:03] LJUBO
    I knew it. You aren't going
    to let me bask in the moment.
[21:07] LJUBO
    What do you want?
[21:08] LJUBO
    Looking for a job?
[21:10] RED
    It's about Sir Van.
[21:12] LJUBO
    Overlook his indiscretions, will you?
[21:15] LJUBO
    He's the man who will save the world someday.
[21:18] RED
    It's about the dangers surrounding
    the girl he's looking for.
[21:23] LJUBO
    You know of the girl who attacked Van?!
[21:26] RED
    Yes.
[21:27] LJUBO
    Who and what is she?
[21:29] RED
    Something left behind by ancient elves.
[21:31] LJUBO
    Huh?
[21:36] LJUBO
    Ridiculous. All the ancient elves
    left behind is some stupid clockwork.
[21:42] RED
    I know you find it hard to believe,
[21:45] RED
    so please follow me.
[21:57] LJUBO
    An ogre king?
[22:04] LJUBO
    That writing is Ancient Elven.
     What's going on here?
[22:08] RED
    I hear this ogre king was highly
    intelligent and even wielded a weapon.
[22:14] RED
    It may have been a biological weapon
    created in ancient elven ruins.
[22:18] LJUBO
    What?
[22:19] RED
    There are ancient elven ruins in the
    mountains to the north of Zoltan.
[22:24] RED
    They are supposedly home to other biological
    weapons, some of which are humanoid, too.
[22:30] LJUBO
    So the girl who attacked Van
    is an ancient elven relic?
[22:34] LJUBO
    True, she displayed superhuman
    strength to beat down Van.
[22:40] RED
    A report from the Thieves' Guild
    of Zoltan backs up this theory.
[22:45] LJUBO
    I see. So she was created to
    defend the ancient elven ruins.
[22:52] RED
    Should the demon lord's
    army ever reach Zoltan,
[22:56] RED
    these weapons will crawl out
    of the woodwork to fight them.
[23:00] LJUBO
    So you want Van to withdraw from this
    fight for humanity's future, as well?
[23:05] RED
    Indeed.
[23:06] RED
    If either Sir Van or
     the girl were to die,
[23:09] RED
    it will be a massive
    loss for mankind.
[23:12] LJUBO
    True. I'll strongly advise
    Van to leave Zoltan.
[23:17] RED
    Please do.
[23:19] LJUBO
    I mean, I'll do that...
[23:22] LJUBO
    But Van has not been so obedient to me lately.

[00:06] LAVENDER
    Bring out Esta.
[00:07] RIT
    Calm down, now.
[00:09] LAVENDER
    I am perfectly calm!
[00:11] RIT
    Good to hear.
[00:13] VAN
    I find it hard to believe
    that Esta was a traitor.
[00:17] LJUBO
    I was hoping you woke
    me up for a good reason.
[00:21] LJUBO
    If she weren't one of us, I would've
    sentenced her to lashings for heresy.
[00:28] LAVENDER
    Rit, I'm sure you're working with
    Esta and trying to cover for her,
[00:33] LAVENDER
    but it's not gonna work! I know everything!
[00:39] DANAN
    Hey, is this gonna work out?
[00:42] RED
    They made the first move.
[00:44] RED
    This might be the
     best time to play our cards.
[00:46] LJUBO
    May I return to the inn?
    I haven't had breakfast yet.
[00:50] LAVENDER
    You're not going anywhere!
[00:52] RIT
    Oh, fine.
[00:54] RIT
    Why don't we go inside and talk it out?
SIGN    Banished from the Hero's Party,
    I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside 2nd
SIGN    The Hero and
     the Guide
[02:28] TISSE
    We certainly didn't expect
    them to find out so soon.
[02:31] TISSE
    What are you going to do, Red?
[02:34] LAVENDER
    Okay, Esta!
[02:35] LAVENDER
    Fess up! Say, "I'm a traitor and
    I deserve to be killed by Van."
[02:41] ESTA
    Quite frankly, I am insulted that
    you would accuse me of betrayal.
[02:44] ESTA
    I was asked to look into the
    identity of Van's target.
[02:48] ESTA
    Do you concur, Ljubo?
[02:50] LJUBO
    Certainly, yes.
[02:53] ESTA
    And Rit is a former adventurer
    based in this town,
[02:56] ESTA
    so I approached her for information.
[02:59] RIT
    Lavender.
[03:01] LAVENDER
    What?
[03:02] RIT
    Remember my partner I told
    you about? Let me introduce you.
[03:09] VAN
    You're the swordsman who stole my shield!
[03:12] LJUBO
    No! What are Gideon and Danan doing here?
[03:15] LAVENDER
    Who's what, now?
[03:18] VAN
    They're members of Ruti the Hero's party.
[03:20] VAN
    But yes, what are you doing here?
[03:22] DANAN
    As you can see, I messed up in battle.
[03:25] LJUBO
    O-Oh, dear!
[03:28] ESTA
    And there you have the reason
    I came here for information.
[03:33] ESTA
    Anyone who fights the demon lord's army
    ought to have immense respect for these two.
[03:38] VAN
    I see.
[03:40] VAN
    But then, why did you attack me?
[03:43] DANAN
    Wha?
[03:45] RED
    Because you were attempting to harm people.
[03:48] VAN
    Harm them?
[03:50] RED
    We may have left the Hero's party,
[03:52] RED
    but we still want to stop anything that
    would make the people of Zoltan suffer.
[03:57] VAN
    Make them suffer? You misunderstand.
[03:59] VAN
    I wanted to save them from their wayward ways
[04:02] VAN
    and help them return to a life
    guided by their Blessings.
[04:07] RED
    I misunderstand, huh?
[04:09] RED
    You tried to use magic to control their minds
[04:12] RED
    and put those salt dragons
    up to attack the town.
[04:18] RED
    Those are problems the Hero should
    be putting a stop to, not causing.
[04:23] VAN
    I am the Hero.
[04:25] VAN
    I only did what my Blessing's
    impulses told me was right.
[04:29] RED
    As the Guide, I believe I need
    to have a long chat with you.
[04:34] VAN
    The Guide?
    You have the Divine Blessing of the Guide?
[04:39] VAN
    So the Almighty has tasked you with the role
    of guiding the Hero onto the right path.
[04:43] RED
    Yeah, though I've fulfilled
    that role already.
[04:46] RED
    That's why I'm here now.
[04:49] VAN
    You've fulfilled your role?
[04:52] VAN
    Then you shouldn't have
    anything left to live for.
[04:59] RED
    Yet here I am, living my own life.
[05:04] LAVENDER
    Stop confusing Van!
[05:06] RIT
    Lavender.
[05:07] LAVENDER
    Rit, I will not let anyone
    get in the way of my love.
[05:10] RIT
    Nobody's trying to.
[05:14] RIT
    I just want you to know Red...
    and my love for him.
[05:18] RIT
    I'm deeply in love with him, and the
    life I have with him here in Zoltan.
[05:28] ESTA
    This has been a profound meeting for all of us.
[05:31] ESTA
    How about we leave it at that for now?
[05:34] LJUBO
    Y-Yes.
[05:36] LJUBO
    Let us meet again to discuss things at a
     later date. Would that be acceptable?
[05:41] RED
    Yes, it's not good to talk things out
    when neither side is thinking straight.
[05:55] TISSE
    Are you sure about letting them leave?
[05:57] TISSE
    I feel like we should've pushed them
    harder while they were confused.
[06:01] RED
    Even if we'd fooled them,
    they would've realized later.
[06:05] RED
    What we need to do is change
    how Van sees the world.
[06:10] RED
    And what that calls for isn't
    deception, but negotiation.
[06:14] DANAN
    Sounds like a pain.
[06:17] RED
    I hope we can find a solution
     that Van can accept.
[06:21] TISSE
    Does such a solution even exist?
[06:23] RED
    Who knows?
[06:25] RED
    Because he's such a Blessing fundamentalist,
[06:27] RED
    I mean something to him as the Guide.
[06:31] RED
    Which is why I thought he'd hear me out
    if I talked to him about the Blessings.
[06:40] RED
    Delicious.
[06:41] RIT
    I mixed in a little mead.
[06:43] RED
    This is great.
[06:44] TISSE
    Anyway, we have a temporary reprieve.
[06:47] TISSE
    What do we do next?
[06:49] RED
    Well, we need to be cautious with the talks,
[06:53] RED
    but I don't think we'll get many chances.
[06:56] RED
    He strikes me as someone who doesn't
    take long to make a decision.
[07:00] DANAN
    If only we had some way to fix
    all of this in one fell swoop.
[07:05] RED
    I'm stepping out for a bit.
[07:09] RUTI
    Welcome, Big Brother.
[07:11] RED
    You haven't had lunch yet, right?
[07:13] RUTI
    You made lunch for me? Thank you.
[07:15] RED
    They're just sandwiches.
[07:18] RUTI
    I'm excited for dinner, too.
[07:22] RED
    About that...
[07:24] RED
    I think I should avoid
    coming here for a while.
[07:28] RUTI
    Why? Because of Lavender's ability?
[07:30] RED
    Yeah, she seems surprisingly adept at
    determining a person's location.
[07:36] RED
    There's no telling when she'll
    figure out where you are.
[07:39] RUTI
    I see.
[07:40] RED
    What's more, we met Van's party today.
[07:43] RUTI
    Oh...
[07:49] RED
    Ruti?
[07:50] RUTI
    I guess the Almighty really
    won't let me live a normal life.
[07:55] RED
    Maybe Lord Demis is hoping that
    the Hero who cast her role aside
[08:00] RED
    will be defeated by a new Hero.
[08:06] RED
    But, by preventing you two from fighting,
[08:10] RED
    I think we can throw a wrench in those plans.
[08:16] RED
    Wouldn't that be satisfying?
[08:21] RED
    You really are something else.
[08:24] MEGRIA
    Ruti, Tisse, are you in?
[08:28] TISSE
    Oh, Megria.
[08:31] TISSE
    Come in.
[08:32] MEGRIA
    Don't mind me. I just wanted to
    share some news while passing by.
[08:38] TISSE
    What news?
[08:39] MEGRIA
    Well...
[08:41] MEGRIA
    Someone has accepted the
    herb-collecting request you two posted.
[08:46] RUTI
    That's great. Now we can grow more herbs.
[08:50] TISSE
    Thanks for letting us know.
[08:53] MEGRIA
    No problem.
[08:54] RED
    Just who I wanted to see.
[08:56] RED
    I was about to head out to the
    Adventurers' Guild, actually.
[08:59] MEGRIA
    Huh? Why's that?
[09:02] RED
    I wanted to see if you had
    any interesting missions.
[09:04] MEGRIA
    Interesting?
[09:07] RED
    Preferably something that mainly involves
    exploring, with a side of combat.
[09:12] TISSE
    We're in Zoltan.
    There aren't going to be any—
[09:15] MEGRIA
    Oh, great!
[09:17] TISSE
    You have something?
[09:18] MEGRIA
    Some dangerous monsters were spotted nearby.
[09:21] MEGRIA
    And if there's a herd of them, we don't
    have anyone able to deal with them.
[09:25] RED
    Tell me more.
[09:27] MEGRIA
    Of course. I'll give you all the details.
[09:30] MEGRIA
    Could you come with me
     to the Adventurers' Guild?
[09:34] MEGRIA
    I'd like to formally request
    that you take the job.
[09:37] RED
    So, yeah, I went and accepted a mission.
[09:41] RUTI
    Sea bogies? Those are pretty rare.
[09:45] YARANDRALA
    I hate those things.
[09:48] YARANDRALA
    Can't stand the sight of them.
[09:49] RIT
    I don't think anyone can.
[09:52] RIT
    Their very existence deals
    psychic damage to people.
[09:55] YARANDRALA
    I wouldn't know. I kill them on sight.
[09:59] RIT
    They emit a terrifying aura that affects
    our minds and drains our life force.
[10:04] RED
    The biggest problem is that they
    target human children and eat them.
[10:09] DANAN
    Gotta take 'em out.
[10:11] RED
    According to Megria, only a few
    of them were spotted nearby.
[10:16] RED
    But I want to take care of this quickly.
[10:18] RIT
    Okay, but what about Van?
[10:21] RED
    I was thinking of asking him
    to join the mission, actually.
[10:24] ALL
    What?!
[10:27] DANAN
    You wanna fight alongside that punk?!
[10:29] YARANDRALA
    Red, are you out of your mind?!
[10:32] TISSE
    Van prioritizes raising his
    Blessing's level over saving lives.
[10:36] TISSE
    He might cause some serious problems.
[10:40] RIT
    I think it's a good idea, though.
[10:43] RIT
    I felt that Lavender needs to get a
    closer look at what Red and I are like.
[10:49] RIT
    And this might be a good chance.
[10:52] RED
    Lavender, huh?
[10:54] RED
    It'd be nice to get a better
    understanding of her abilities, too.
[10:57] DANAN
    Makes sense.
[10:59] DANAN
    So, you're hoping fighting
    together will tell ya something!
[11:02] DANAN
    In that case, count me in.
[11:05] RED
    Nah, it'll just be Rit and me.
[11:09] DANAN
    You're asking me to hold down the fort?!
[11:12] RED
    Sorry, man.
[11:20] TISSE
    Danan's over-the-top reaction surprised me.
[11:24] RUTI
    I see.
[11:27] TISSE
    Is something wrong?
[11:28] RUTI
    I want to be of help to Big Brother,
    but I'm not able to.
[11:34] RUTI
    And that's a little frustrating.
[11:38] TISSE
    Miss Ruti...
[11:47] RED
    I'm glad you agreed to help out.
    I thought you'd refuse.
[11:51] VAN
    It's the Hero's duty to slay evil.
[11:56] RED
    The beach in the reports is up ahead.
[11:58] RED
    Get ready.
[12:00] VAN
    I am ready right now.
    The Hero is always prepared to fight.
[12:05] RED
    Fighting's just a part of life for you, huh?
[12:09] VAN
    Isn't that true for all living
    creatures in this world?
[12:12] VAN
    So long as we have Blessings,
    none of us can avoid fighting...
[12:22] VAN
    I think.
[12:24] LAVENDER
    What are you talking about, Van?
    Let's hurry up and go.
[12:28] VAN
    Right.
[12:29] VAN
    So, Gideon and I will take point
    and fight. Is that correct?
[12:33] RED
    Yeah.
[12:34] RED
    Rit and Lavender, cover us with your magic.
[12:37] RIT
    You got it, Red.
[12:38] LAVENDER
    Why do I have to take orders from you?
[12:47] RED
    It looks like there aren't many of them,
[12:50] RED
    but there are some hiding by the rocks.
[12:52] RIT
    A fair few of them, even.
[12:53] RED
    They're not very strong,
[12:55] RED
    but stay alert, Van.
[12:58] VAN
    Why are you using a bronze sword?
[13:03] RED
    I don't need expensive equipment, now that
    I'm no longer fighting to save the world.
[13:08] VAN
    But you're forced to fight
    for as long as you live.
[13:11] RED
    Right.
[13:13] RED
    Which is why I carry a bronze sword around.
[13:17] VAN
    I still don't understand why you
    would wield an inferior weapon.
[13:21] VAN
    But surely it was Lord Demis's will
    that brought you before me to guide me.
[13:27] RED
    Nah, I—
[13:28] LAVENDER
    Looks like they've noticed us.
[13:33] RED
    Let's do this.
[13:50] VAN
    They're nothing special,
    but the Hero must slay all evil!
[13:58] LAVENDER
    Get ready!
[14:13] RED
    Van!
[14:17] RED
    Are you okay?
[14:18] VAN
    Gideon, you don't need to worry about me.
[14:21] RED
    You fight assuming you'll
    use Healing Hands later.
[14:25] RED
    Do you not defend yourself?
[14:26] VAN
    Offense is the best defense, is it not?
[14:33] RED
    Nothing wrong with avoiding
    getting hurt for no reason.
[14:35] VAN
    I refuse to pull any punches
    in my battles against evil.
[14:37] VAN
    That is how the Hero must fight.
[14:40] RED
    I don't think adapting your fighting style to
     your opponents counts as pulling punches.
[14:45] RED
    Whatever. Let's keep going.
[14:47] VAN
    Yes.
[15:04] RED
    Van, did you keep count?
[15:08] VAN
    Huh?
[15:09] RED
    How many monsters did you kill?
[15:11] VAN
    Is there any need to?
[15:14] VAN
    The Hero need only slay evil.
[15:17] VAN
    It doesn't matter how many.
[15:19] RED
    There were 45 sea bogies in total.
[15:22] RED
    I killed 26, you 18, and Rit got one.
[15:26] VAN
    So what?
[15:27] RED
    The number of enemies you take down
[15:29] RED
    can be a marker of your
    contributions in battle.
[15:34] VAN
    That's...
[15:35] RED
    You're supposed to be the
    Hero, the strongest.
[15:37] RED
    So you'd better fix this quickly.
[15:43] RED
    The Divine Blessing of the
    Guide shows the Hero the way.
[15:46] VAN
    Right.
[15:47] RED
    Which means, until you
    surpass me in every way,
[15:50] RED
    you won't be the finished
    article as the Hero.
[15:54] RED
    That's what I believe, but what about you?
[15:59] VAN
    You may well be right.
[16:03] LAVENDER
    Van!
[16:04] LAVENDER
    Why, you!
[16:06] RED
    Hey, all I did was give my opinion.
[16:08] LAVENDER
    Listen, Van.
    You're fine just the way you are.
[16:12] RED
    A partner who accepts everything,
    including your weaknesses.
[16:17] RED
    Feels like that'd just ruin a person.
[16:19] LAVENDER
    What?!
[16:20] RED
    Uh, I didn't say a thing.
[16:22] VAN
    Anyway, the evil is slain. Let us return.
[16:25] RIT
    Wait.
[16:26] RIT
    There are more sea bogies around.
[16:28] RED
    What?
[16:37] LAVENDER
    I have no idea what you're talking about.
[16:40] RIT
    There are tracks that head
    towards the village and return.
[16:43] VAN
    The village?
[16:44] RED
    That's how they act when
    they abduct children.
[16:47] RIT
    They've probably already abducted a child.
[16:50] RIT
    And maybe seeing that child was what made
    the other sea bogies head toward the village.
[16:55] VAN
    We must rescue the child at once!
[16:57] RED
    Van, can you follow tracks?
[17:01] VAN
    I cannot.
[17:03] VAN
    I haven't acquired the skill,
    for it is unneeded in battle.
[17:07] RED
    Okay. Rit and I can handle it.
[17:09] RIT
    My Blessing makes me really good at
    following tracks, so don't worry.
[17:14] RED
    Don't make that face, "Hero."
[17:16] RED
    Just be happy that we're here to do that job.
[17:20] VAN
    Okay.
[17:21] LAVENDER
    Hey, stop messing with my Van!
[17:25] LAVENDER
    It's okay, Van!
[17:26] LAVENDER
    You don't need a tracking skill.
[17:28] LAVENDER
    I can detect all living creatures
    wherever the wind can go!
[17:42] RED
    Sea bogies don't devour
    children immediately.
[17:44] RED
    They feed off their fear first.
[17:48] RED
    I hope there's still time.
[17:50] VAN
    I sense sea bogies.
[17:52] RIT
    I'll go ahead.
[18:11] RIT
    It's okay. Sea bogies can't hear very well.
[18:14] RIT
    Though being stealthy is never a bad thing.
[18:18] RIT
    Do you see any kids?
[18:19] RIT
    Not from here.
[18:27] RED
    There are two in front,
    and three in the back.
[18:29] VAN
    I'll go!
[18:43] RED
    Are you all right?
[18:44] VAN
    Yes.
[18:45] RED
    Okay, good.
[18:47] RED
    Let's split up and look for the kid.
[19:04] VAN
    Are you all right?
[19:07] VAN
    I am Van the Hero. I am here to save you.
[19:10] GIRL
    The... Hero?
[19:13] VAN
    Yes, that's right!
[19:20] GIRL
    Sir Hero!
[19:23] LAVENDER
    Hey! Get off him!
[19:25] LAVENDER
    I said, get off!
[19:25] GIRL
    I was so scared, Sir Hero!
[19:27] LAVENDER
    Van, you push her off!
[19:32] GIRLMOM
    Thank you so much!
[19:34] GIRLDAD
    I don't know how to repay you!
[19:37] GIRLMOM
    If it weren't for you, she would be...
[19:44] VAN
    No need for thanks.
[19:46] GIRL
    Sir Hero.
[19:48] GIRL
    Thank you for saving me!
[19:55] ESTA
    Oh? Van, of all people?
[19:58] ESTA
    He listened to advice?
[20:01] YARANDRALA
    There, there. It's like that sometimes.
[20:05] ESTA
    I'm amazed you can get through
    to Lavender, too, Rit.
[20:09] RIT
    Huh?
[20:11] RIT
    Well, we have something in common.
[20:15] RIT
    We are both in love, you know!
[20:20] ESTA
    I can't do anything right.
[20:23] RED
    What do you mean?
[20:24] ESTA
    I had plenty of chances to talk to
    Van and Lavender during our travels,
[20:29] ESTA
    but I couldn't change their
    thinking in any way whatsoever.
[20:34] ESTA
    But you two managed to do
    just that in such a short time.
[20:38] ESTA
    It's enough to make one lose all confidence.
[20:40] ALBERT
    Well, you shouldn't!
[20:42] ALBERT
    You're the one who made all of this happen!
[20:46] ESTA
    Really?
[20:47] ALBERT
    Of course!
[20:49] ALBERT
    All of this started because
    you sent me to Red!
[20:55] ESTA
    R-Right...
[20:57] ALBERT
    You wore a mask and hid
    everything about yourself,
[20:59] ALBERT
    but I know exactly just how
    hard you've been trying!
[21:04] ESTA
    M-Mm. As long as you understand,
    that's fine by me.
[21:10] ALBERT
    I do!
[21:12] RED
    They make a fine duo.
[21:14] ESTA
    D-Don't be ridiculous!
[21:16] ALBERT
    "Ridiculous"?
[21:17] ESTA
    No, wait!
[21:18] ESTA
    I did not mean to say you're
    unfit to be my partner!
[21:24] ESTA
    It's just, uh...
[21:26] ALBERT
    Of course. I still have a long way to go.
[21:29] ALBERT
    I'll do my best!
[21:31] ESTA
    No!
[21:32] ESTA
    Wait, that's not a bad thing, but still...
[21:35] ESTA
    Oh, for the love of...!
[21:38] RIT
    That's about all the sweetness I can take.
[21:40] RED
    Same here.
[21:41] ESTA
    Like you two can talk!
[21:43] RIT
    Why?!
[21:43] RED
    Why not?!
[21:44] ESTA
    Huh?
[21:47] YARANDRALA
    You two are always like this!
[21:50] RED
    Not true.
[21:50] RIT
    That's not true.
[22:02] VAN
    The Hero does not lose his way.
[22:05] VAN
    Never, ever.

[00:03] LJUBO
    There are ancient elven ruins
    up in Zoltan's mountains.
[00:07] LJUBO
    The girl is a humanoid weapon created there.
[00:11] LJUBO
    You can read more about her in
    that investigation report.
[00:15] LJUBO
    She is not a threat to humanity,
    so there's no reason for us to remain here.
[00:19] LJUBO
    We'll return at once.
[00:20] VAN
    I'm afraid I cannot accept that.
[00:22] LJUBO
    And why is that?
[00:23] VAN
    Because we must always live
    as our Blessings tell us to.
[00:28] VAN
    Mine tells me it's not time to go.
[00:32] LJUBO
    Well, I'm not about to drag you away.
[00:35] LJUBO
    I hope that your Blessing will
    encourage you to begin a new journey.
[00:40] VAN
    It appears that Lord Demis has
    given me a trial to overcome.
[00:44] LAVENDER
    What trial?
[00:46] VAN
    I don't know why...
[00:48] VAN
    But my Blessing's impulses,
    which have kept me going all this time,
[00:52] VAN
    seem to have completely disappeared.
SIGN    Banished from the Hero's Party,
    I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside 2nd
SIGN    The Hero's
    Challenge
[02:33] ESTA
    Delicious.
[02:37] ESTA
    The tea you make helps one relax, Red.
[02:40] RED
    Glad to hear it.
[02:42] RED
    So, how's Van looking?
[02:45] ESTA
    He's been acting strange ever since
    he went on that mission with you.
[02:50] ESTA
    He holes up in his room all day, praying.
[02:52] ESTA
    He speaks much less now, too.
[02:56] ESTA
    We knows what new
    crazy ideas he might get,
[02:59] ESTA
    so Ljubo and I are taking
    turns checking in on him.
[03:02] TISSE
    Hello.
[03:04] RIT
    Welcome. Is something the matter?
[03:06] TISSE
    I wanted your opinion on something.
[03:08] TISSE
    There was a request to look for a
    child who went missing in the forest,
[03:13] TISSE
    but Miss Ruti and I can't do
    anything lest we run into Van.
[03:18] TISSE
    Other adventurers won't take the mission
    because they doubt there's foul play involved,
[03:23] TISSE
    so the Guild is at a loss.
[03:24] ALBERT
    I'll go, then.
[03:26] TISSE
    Huh?
[03:27] RED
    You sure?
[03:28] ALBERT
    Yeah. Let me handle this.
[03:30] ESTA
    But...
[03:32] ALBERT
    I used to be a Zoltan adventurer,
[03:34] ALBERT
    so I know my way around the woods here.
[03:36] ALBERT
    And, while I know this won't
    make up for how I used to be,
[03:42] ALBERT
    I want to help this region
    out in any way I can.
[03:45] RED
    Albert...
[03:47] ALBERT
    I'm no hero or champion,
    but I'm traveling with Esta now.
[03:53] ALBERT
    That makes me so happy, and it's
    a constant source of pride for me.
[03:57] ALBERT
    I want to act in a way
    that befits her partner.
[04:02] ESTA
    I-I'm honored you would feel that way.
[04:06] ESTA
    What?!
[04:06] RIT
    We can trust Albert to handle matters.
[04:09] ESTA
    Y-Yeah, I suppose so.
[04:12] TISSE
    Here's all the information
    we have at the moment.
[04:15] TISSE
    It's up to you now.
[04:17] ALBERT
    Right.
[04:43] LJUBO
    Hey, I'm out. Bring me another bottle.
[04:48] ESTA
    What do you think you're doing here, Ljubo?
[04:51] LJUBO
    It's you, Esta.
[04:53] LJUBO
    Join me for drinks.
[04:55] ESTA
    Where's Van? Still at the inn?
[04:58] LJUBO
    No. He went off somewhere on his own.
[05:01] ESTA
    What do you mean?
[05:03] LJUBO
    I don't know the details.
[05:05] LJUBO
    He heard that a child had gone missing,
[05:08] LJUBO
    so he and Lavender went to search.
[05:13] LJUBO
    He ignores everything I say.
[05:16] LJUBO
    But why? What has gotten into my Hero?
[05:23] LJUBO
    He can still be fixed, though. He has to be.
[05:29] LJUBO
    Was it not the Almighty who
    brought the Hero before me?
[05:40] ALBERT
    I didn't expect to run into
    an ogre in this forest.
[05:43] ALBERT
    I hope the child is all right.
[05:50] ALBERT
    Oops.
[05:51] ALBERT
    Sorry about that.
[05:54] GIRL
    Kurukururu!
[05:56] GIRL
    Don't kill him!
[05:57] KURUKURURU
    I... I'm fine...
[05:59] ALBERT
    Wait, I'm just an adventurer.
    I came looking for you.
[06:03] GIRL
    For me?
[06:04] ALBERT
    Yeah. Your parents were worried
    you got lost in the woods.
[06:09] GIRL
    I was playing with Kurukururu.
[06:11] GIRL
    But then, that monster showed up.
[06:14] ALBERT
    It's all right now.
[06:16] ALBERT
    You kept her safe, did you?
[06:18] GIRL
    Yeah! Kurukururu protected me!
[06:21] KURUKURURU
    But there's a scarier one around.
[06:24] KURUKURURU
    The fay are all afraid!
[06:26] ALBERT
    What?
[06:27] LAVENDER
    Found her.
[06:29] ALBERT
    Sir Hero.
[06:30] VAN
    Is the child hurt?
[06:31] ALBERT
    No.
[06:33] VAN
    That's good.
[06:34] ALBERT
    What's with his oppressive aura?
[06:37] ALBERT
    Something's off about him.
[06:39] ALBERT
    I'll take her home now.
[06:41] ALBERT
    Let's go.
[06:43] VAN
    Before that, we need to kill
    the evil that caused all this.
[06:46] ALBERT
    The... evil?
[06:48] VAN
    Didn't that thing lure the
    child into the forest?
[06:52] VAN
    Evil must be slain.
[06:54] ALBERT
    C-Calm down, Sir Hero.
[06:58] ALBERT
    Fairy dragons aren't malicious monsters.
[07:01] ALBERT
    They're fay, just like Lavender,
    and they're friendly to humans!
[07:05] LAVENDER
    You're using me to beg for its life?
[07:08] VAN
    Albert. I will wait ten
    seconds for you to move.
[07:10] VAN
    If you get in my way, then you
    too are evil and must be slain.
[07:16] ALBERT
    Run! I'll hold them off!
[07:19] KURUKURURU
    B-But...
[07:20] ALBERT
    Just go!
[07:25] VAN
    Do you know that fay?
[07:27] ALBERT
    No. I just met it.
[07:30] VAN
    Are you confident that you can defeat me?
[07:34] ALBERT
    Not in the least.
[07:35] VAN
    Then why are you throwing your life away?
[07:40] ALBERT
    You're right.
[07:42] ALBERT
    I'm shaking in my boots, to be honest.
[07:45] ALBERT
    But I won't stand back and watch
    you take an innocent life.
[07:49] ALBERT
    And I won't run from this fight!
[07:52] VAN
    What is this feeling?
[07:54] VAN
    I don't know why, but it seems
    like I wish to kill you.
[08:13] VAN
    Lavender, can you track them?
[08:15] LAVENDER
    Of course I can!
[08:25] VAN
    What are you trying to pull?
[08:27] ALBERT
    Don't... kill it.
[08:31] VAN
    Why would you do this for a mere fay?
[08:33] ALBERT
    Because I'm part of the Hero's party.
[08:40] ALBERT
    I want to act in a way that befits that.
[08:43] VAN
    Let me go.
[08:48] VAN
    Let me go.
[08:57] VAN
    Let me go!
[09:08] VAN
    I'm the Hero, damn you!
[09:23] LAVENDER
    Van!
[09:26] ESTA
    You fought well.
[09:28] ESTA
    Regenerate.
[09:31] ESTA
    Albert, you are a champion.
[09:35] ESTA
    I am truly proud of you.
[09:41] VAN
    Esta, that man stopped me from slaying evil.
[09:47] ESTA
    Van, do you think I'm in any
    mood for a conversation?
[09:50] ESTA
    I am...
[09:52] ESTA
    filled with rage!
[10:01] VAN
    Why?
[10:02] VAN
    I looked up to you!
[10:05] VAN
    Perhaps you've made a grave mistake?
[10:08] LAVENDER
    Get away from him!
[10:13] LAVENDER
    You say you're mad and
    then fight like a bitch!
[10:17] ESTA
    And what happened to you?
[10:19] ESTA
    I thought you never wanted to
    show Van how you really fought.
[10:23] LAVENDER
    Shut your mouth.
[10:24] LAVENDER
    I've hated you from the
    moment I laid eyes upon you.
[10:29] UNDINE
    Okay, that's quite enough.
[10:34] LAVENDER
    What, a lowly water archfay
    thinks she can stop me?
[10:39] UNDINE
    Your anger is ruining your cute little face.
[10:42] UNDINE
    Are you trying to expose yourself?
[10:44] LAVENDER
    You're dead!
[11:12] LAVENDER
    Van...
[11:15] VAN
    Healing Hands.
[11:20] VAN
    That girl is within my reach.
[11:23] VAN
    Soon, I can...
[11:33] KURUKURURU
    Will Mr. Adventurer be okay?
[11:36] RED
    His wounds have completely healed.
[11:38] RED
    He's just resting now.
[11:42] RED
    I'm glad the kid made it out
    all right, too. Albert did well.
[11:46] ESTA
    Do we know if he'll wake up?
[11:48] RED
    Yeah. He pushed himself past
    his limits to deal with Van.
[11:53] RED
    He needs some time to rest.
[11:55] ESTA
    I see.
[11:56] RED
    It's great that you realized
    what was going on.
[12:00] RUTI
    I just guessed. I felt something
    dangerous in the air.
[12:04] RUTI
    Van's out of control.
[12:06] RUTI
    The impulses of the Hero's
    Blessings are very strong.
[12:10] RUTI
    Normally, it wouldn't let
    you fight emotionally.
[12:14] RUTI
    He must so confused that it's
    repressing his Blessing's impulses.
[12:19] RUTI
    I've experienced that before.
[12:21] RED
    He must be panicking at how he's wavering.
[12:25] RED
    My goal was to change his mentality,
    but I wasn't expecting this.
[12:28] ESTA
    It's not your fault.
[12:30] ESTA
    The responsibility lies with us, the people
    who have spent so much time with him.
[12:34] RED
    Esta.
[12:37] ESTA
    Let me go cool off.
[12:45] RUTI
    Big Brother.
[12:46] RED
    I know.
[12:57] ESTA
    For the first time in my life,
    I let my anger take over.
[13:03] ESTA
    When I saw Albert on the verge of death, I...
[13:05] RED
    You couldn't stop yourself?
[13:07] ESTA
    I was terrified of losing him.
[13:12] ESTA
    Even now, the very thought
    drives a stake into my heart.
[13:16] ESTA
    And I once tried to kill you in order
    to keep Ruti fighting as our Hero.
[13:22] ESTA
    I've changed so much,
    and that scares me most of all.
[13:25] ESTA
    I might eventually make
    the wrong decision again.
[13:29] ESTA
    I may lose myself and do
    something irrevocable.
[13:34] ESTA
    And that frightens me.
[13:36] RED
    Are you going to cast aside
    your feelings for Albert, then?
[13:45] ESTA
    No...
[13:47] ESTA
    I can't.
[13:50] ESTA
    I don't want to.
[13:53] RED
    Then that's, fine.
[13:55] RED
    Those emotions don't come
    from your Blessing,
[13:58] RED
    but from deep within your heart.
[14:01] RED
    And I think that's really worth something.
[14:04] ESTA
    Emotions that have nothing to
    do with our Blessings, huh...
[14:10] ESTA
    Meeting you people has turned me
    into a terrible woman of faith.
[14:16] RIT
    Red. Esta.
[14:34] LJUBO
    Who's there?
[14:35] VAN
    Cardinal Ljubo, it's me.
[14:37] LJUBO
    O-Oh, Van. Come in.
[14:44] VAN
    I came to let you know that
    I'm leaving Zoltan.
[14:47] LJUBO
    Y-You are? You finally understand!
[14:51] LJUBO
    Let us prepare to leave at once!
[14:53] VAN
    But first, I'm going to head
    to the Undine's dwelling.
[14:56] LJUBO
    What?
[14:57] VAN
    And I'll kill all the fay there.
[14:59] VAN
    I think Esta, Gideon,
    and others will be there, as well,
[15:01] VAN
    and I'm going to kill them all.
[15:03] LJUBO
    What are you talking about?
[15:06] VAN
    That's sure to draw the girl out,
    and I'll kill her.
[15:10] VAN
    If she doesn't show,
    I'll destroy Zoltan until she does.
[15:13] LJUBO
    Settle down, Van.
[15:15] LJUBO
    You are the Hero. You must act like one.
[15:23] LJUBO
    Van...
[15:25] LJUBO
    Why?
[15:28] VAN
    I don't feel the impulses of
    the Hero's Blessing anymore.
[15:31] VAN
    My Blessing doesn't tell me
    what I need to do as the Hero.
[15:35] VAN
    As such...
[15:36] VAN
    I'll carry out the last impulse
    my Blessing gave me...
[15:39] VAN
    I'll kill that girl and all the
    evil that stands in my way.
[15:44] LJUBO
    Wai...
[15:54] RED
    Van will be here soon.
[15:56] RED
    Lavender will no doubt be with him.
[15:58] UNDINE
    I can't stop that fairy alone.
[16:02] RIT
    She's stronger than a water archfay?
[16:05] RIT
    What exactly is Lavender?
[16:08] UNDINE
    I didn't want to out her,
[16:12] UNDINE
    but I guess it's too late for that now.
[16:16] UNDINE
    She's a calamity.
[16:19] RIT
    A what?
[16:20] UNDINE
    She's one of the archfay Ketu.
[16:23] UNDINE
    Avatars of power and destruction.
[16:26] UNDINE
    They've wreaked havoc like natural disasters
    since this planet came into existence.
[16:30] UNDINE
    As civilization advanced, the ancient
    elves and dragons wiped the Ketu out,
[16:35] UNDINE
    leaving her the sole survivor.
[16:37] UNDINE
    I'd thought she was living
    in hiding, deep in a jungle...
[16:41] TISSE
    We've gone past legendary and
    into mythical territory here...
[16:46] YARANDRALA
    So, what's our plan?
[16:47] YARANDRALA
    A mythical archfay and the Hero, the ultimate
    human, are on their way to attack us.
[16:52] RED
    This will probably be our last
    chance to talk things out with Van.
[16:55] TISSE
    Talk things out?
    I don't think that's possible.
[16:59] RED
    Yeah, there's no avoiding a battle.
[17:02] RED
    But unlike how Van used to be,
    I think we stand a good chance.
[17:05] TISSE
    But we just talked about
    how he's out of control.
[17:08] VAN
    Yeah, he's out of control.
[17:10] VAN
    The Hero, who never wavers, is wavering now.
[17:13] VAN
    My words should be able
     to get through to him.
[17:16] VAN
    I can change his extreme views.
[17:18] RIT
    I believe in Red.
[17:21] RUTI
    I'll back him up if it comes down to it.
[17:23] RUTI
    So please let him handle this.
[17:26] TISSE
    If you two say so...
[17:29] TISSE
    So, how exactly do you
    intend to go about this?
[17:33] RED
    By settling things one-on-one with Van.
[17:35] YARANDRALA
    You want to fight Van one-on-one?
[17:37] DANAN
    That's crazy.
[17:40] RED
    Van's strong, and there are
    no guarantees in battle.
[17:43] RED
    So I can't say I'll win for sure, but...
[17:46] RED
    I'll win.
[17:51] UNDINE
    I'll put up a field to minimize the damage.
[17:55] UNDINE
    Would any of you be willing to help me out?
[17:57] ESTA
    I can.
[17:59] YARANDRALA
    I'll help, too.
[18:01] UNDINE
    I would also like someone
    to help defend the village.
[18:04] TISSE
    Mr. Crawly Wawly and I will see to it.
[18:08] RED
    Okay, I'm counting on you all.
[18:10] RED
    Now for the finishing touches.
[18:12] ALL
    Yeah!
[18:22] RUTI
    Good luck,
[18:25] RUTI
    Big Brother.
[18:30] RED
    Thanks.
[18:33] VAN
    I finally get to see you again.
[18:35] VAN
    I know I can go back to being
    a Hero once I kill you.
[18:58] VAN
    Gideon, I can tell.
[19:02] VAN
    She's Ruti the Hero, isn't she?
[19:05] VAN
    This is the destiny
    Lord Demis has laid out for me.
[19:09] VAN
    In order to become the true Hero,
    I must defeat the old one.
[19:14] VAN
    Inheriting Ruti the Hero's power,
[19:17] VAN
    Van the Hero will save the world!
[19:19] RED
    That's stretching it.
[19:22] RED
    You don't know what to do anymore,
[19:25] RED
    so you're forcibly assigning significance
    to random happenings around you.
[19:28] VAN
    That's not true!
[19:30] RED
    Isn't it?
    What's your Hero's Blessing telling you?
[19:33] VAN
    It's telling me to kill Ruti!
[19:36] RED
    You're not actually feeling
    that impulse at all, are you?
[19:41] VAN
    This only started after I spoke to you.
[19:44] VAN
    Wavering is painful.
[19:46] VAN
    I feel like I'm losing myself.
[19:49] RED
    Everyone doubts themselves
    at some point in life.
[19:52] VAN
    The Hero never wavers.
[19:54] VAN
    It is not allowed!
[19:55] RUTI
    I did.
[19:58] RUTI
    I did so over and over while
    fighting the demon lord's army.
[20:02] RUTI
    I worried if I was
    doing the right thing.
[20:04] RUTI
    I wasn't sure if I should trust my judgment,
    and regretted plenty of things I did.
[20:09] RUTI
    In particular,
    after Big Brother left the party,
[20:12] RUTI
    I didn't know what to believe anymore.
[20:15] RUTI
    At some point, I was distancing myself
    from the people I could trust.
[20:19] RUTI
    And yet, they're helping me out now.
[20:23] RUTI
    After all this time,
[20:25] RUTI
    I finally truly believe that
    we've become an actual party.
[20:29] VAN
    I don't believe you!
[20:30] VAN
    A Hero never wavers!
[20:32] VAN
    That is the role assigned by the Almighty!
[20:34] RED
    Quit running, Van!
[20:37] RED
    If you truly want to be the Hero,
[20:39] RED
    quit running from the doubts you have.
[20:41] RED
    Muster up the courage to face them.
[20:43] VAN
    Courage?
[20:44] RED
    That's right.
[20:45] RED
    No matter how painful things might get,
[20:47] RED
    stand your ground and walk
    the path you choose.
[20:49] RED
    That's what you call courage.
[20:51] VAN
    A Hero is completely immune to fear.
[20:54] VAN
    Isn't that good enough?
[20:56] RED
    As the Guide, allow me to show you the way.
[21:03] RED
    Fight me. Grab that sword.
[21:06] VAN
    A bronze sword?
[21:07] RED
    This is a battle between
    the Hero and the Guide.
[21:10] RED
    Try besting me, Van.
[21:13] RED
    That should clear your doubts.
[21:21] VAN
    I understand.
[21:23] LAVENDER
    Don't let him fool you, Van!
[21:25] RIT
    Stand back, Lavender.
[21:27] LAVENDER
    Back off! I'll kill you!
[21:29] RIT
    We have no right to stop them.
[21:32] LAVENDER
    Shut your mouth!
[21:33] LAVENDER
    Anyone who gets in the way of my love
    deserves to die a miserable death!
[21:38] RIT
    And I won't let anyone
    mess with my love, either!
[21:41] RIT
    It doesn't matter if it's a mythical fay,
    the Hero, or even the Almighty.
[21:45] RIT
    Interfere, and I will cut you down!
[21:51] VAN
    We'll stop our swords at the last second,
    and the loser will admit defeat...
[21:54] VAN
    I really hope that's not how
    you think this is going to go.
[21:58] RED
    Of course not. We're fighting
    until one of us goes down.
[22:02] VAN
    Excellent!
[22:04] VAN
    Because I can't stop until
    I unleash all of this anger on you!

SIGN    The Conclusion and
    the Start of a New Journey
[01:34] VAN
    Martial Art: Swallow's Approach!
[01:45] LAVENDER
    Van!
[01:47] RIT
    You're not going anywhere.
[01:51] LAVENDER
    Don't you...
[01:58] LAVENDER
    Don't you get in my way!
[02:06] LAVENDER
    Die!
[02:28] LAVENDER
    Van... Van...
[02:34] ESTA
    She's far more powerful than
    anyone could've imagined.
[02:37] ESTA
    We can't let her out of there.
[02:40] YARANDRALA
    We'll stop her!
[02:56] VAN
    Lightning of Judgment!
[03:01] LAVENDER
    Don't you dare!
[03:05] RUTI
    Sacred Shield.
[03:27] VAN
    Martial Art:
[03:28] VAN
    Great Whirlwind!
[04:08] VAN
    I win!
[04:10] VAN
    Healing Hands Mastery... Reflection!
[04:16] RED
    I've been waiting for that.
[04:33] RED
    Guess I win.
[04:35] VAN
    Was that the Hero's power?
[04:40] RED
    Yeah.
[04:41] RED
    Ruti imbued the ornament
    with it before the battle.
[04:44] RED
    Even the ultimate skill can be countered
    by another of the same kind.
[04:52] VAN
    That's cheating...
[04:54] RED
    Van, you're fundamentally mistaken.
[04:59] RED
    Sure, I'm the Guide and you're the Hero,
[05:03] RED
    but before that, this is a
     fight between two men.
[05:07] RED
    It can't be won by focusing
     solely on the Blessings.
[05:10] RED
    They are only a part of what
    makes each person who they are.
[05:15] VAN
    Damn it!
[05:16] RED
    That's it, Van.
[05:17] RED
    It was that emotion that
    was making you waver.
[05:23] RED
    You felt like you lost to me when
    we fought the sea bogeys, right?
[05:28] RED
    You thought you couldn't
    have saved the kid alone,
[05:31] RED
    that you didn't deserve the
    gratitude she showed you.
[05:36] RED
    In that moment, you felt the emotion
    called disappointment for the first time.
[05:41] VAN
    So this is disappointment...
[05:45] RED
    That's right.
[05:47] RED
    Let's talk again once you wake up.
[05:59] LAVENDER
    Van! Van!
[06:01] LAVENDER
    Wake up, Van!
[06:07] LAVENDER
    Van!
[06:09] VAN
    Lavender...
[06:12] VAN
    Where are we?
[06:19] RED
    Oh?
[06:21] RED
    You're awake?
[06:22] VAN
    Gideon...
[06:24] LAVENDER
    Hey! What are you people playing at?
[06:26] LAVENDER
    I can't get close to Van!
[06:28] LAVENDER
    Hurry up and untie me!
[06:33] RIT
    Deal with it for a bit.
[06:35] RIT
    We can't untie you and have
    you going berserk again.
[06:38] LAVENDER
    Grr! You'll pay for this!
[06:41] RED
    You were given emergency magical healing.
[06:43] RED
    How do you feel?
[06:46] VAN
    Not great.
[06:48] RED
    Yeah, it sucks to lose to someone
    you didn't want to lose to.
[06:52] VAN
    Says the victor.
[06:57] VAN
    Oh, how are Albert and Ljubo?
[07:00] RED
    They're both fine.
[07:02] RED
    Albert has come to,
     and Cardinal Ljubo is recovering.
[07:06] LAVENDER
    Curses!
[07:07] RED
    But there took a while
     before he got treatment,
[07:10] RED
    so he'll be stuck in bed for a while.
[07:15] VAN
    Because of me.
[07:25] LAVENDER
    Hey, what gives?
[07:27] RIT
    The two of us are going outside.
[07:29] RED
    I want to talk to him alone. Sorry.
[07:32] LAVENDER
    If you hurt my Van, I'll beat you up!
[07:35] LAVENDER
    Kick your butt!
[07:37] LAVENDER
    Pulverize you!
[07:39] LAVENDER
    Are you listening me? Say something!
[07:45] RED
    How's your Blessing?
[07:47] VAN
    Back to normal, it seems.
[07:50] VAN
    I can feel the impulse.
[07:53] VAN
    So I won't try to hurt anyone anymore.
[07:56] RED
    I see.
[08:06] RED
    The sudden emotional turmoil must've
    made your Blessing go berserk.
[08:13] VAN
    Emotional turmoil...
[08:17] VAN
    Yeah, I'd never felt disappointment before.
[08:23] VAN
    Does that mean I'm not fit to be a Hero?
[08:30] RED
    Van.
[08:31] RED
    The Blessing isn't what makes someone the Hero.
[08:35] RED
    The Hero is someone who tries to act like one.
[08:39] VAN
    What do you mean?
[08:41] RED
    Always considering what
    it takes to be the Hero,
[08:45] RED
    listening to advice at times,
[08:48] RED
    wavering and worrying,
    and yet trying to act like the Hero
[08:53] RED
    is what makes the Hero in my eyes.
[09:04] VAN
    Then...
[09:06] VAN
    What am I supposed to do?
[09:10] RED
    Well...
[09:12] RED
    You're too ignorant of the ways of the world.
[09:16] RED
    You lack perspective,
    which is why your sword is weak.
[09:19] VAN
    Weak?!
[09:20] RED
    All you ever do is try
    to win with brute force.
[09:23] RED
    A simple counter can take you down.
[09:29] RED
    That's just it.
[09:32] RED
    You're fine that way.
[09:34] RED
    Understand your emotions and accept
    that you're human, first and foremost.
[09:38] RED
    That might make you weaker in the moment.
[09:41] RED
    But when you trust your friends
    and give meaning to your sword,
[09:45] RED
    you will grow much stronger.
[09:47] RED
    That's when you will truly become the Hero.
[09:52] VAN
    The true Hero...
[09:55] RED
    Try trusting in Esta some more.
[09:58] RED
    Not just in matters pertaining to your duty.
[10:00] RED
    Talk to her about all sorts of things.
[10:03] VAN
    Would Esta really be willing
    to travel with me again?
[10:08] RED
    As long as you desire to be
    the Hero, I'm sure she will.
[10:13] RED
    Because she's there to guide the Hero.
[10:17] RED
    She is?
[10:18] RED
    She doesn't have the Blessing,
    but she has the desire.
[10:24] RED
    If she didn't, she wouldn't have traveled
    with a brat like you to begin with.
[10:34] VAN
    That's mean.
[10:37] VAN
    But you're probably right.
[10:45] VAN
    Gideon...
[10:47] VAN
    Would you come with me?
[10:50] RED
    I'm Ruti's Guide.
[10:52] RED
    I don't plan on teaming up
     with an new Hero.
[10:57] VAN
    That's too bad.
[10:58] VAN
    I wish I could have met you before
    awakening the Hero's Blessing.
[11:08] REd
    Van.
[11:10] REd
    When did your Blessing change?
[11:13] VAN
    How do you know that?
[11:15] RED
    You didn't show up as the Hero while
    we were fighting the demon lord's army.
[11:20] RED
    You were living in a
    monastery back then, right?
[11:24] VAN
    You see through everything, huh?
[11:27] VAN
    You're right.
[11:28] VAN
    I originally had the Divine Blessing
    of the Cardinal, just like Ljubo.
[11:33] VAN
    But it suddenly changed one day.
[11:38] VAN
    I believed it was a miracle
    Lord Demis granted me.
[11:42] VAN
    And that I had to give up
    everything to be the Hero.
[11:47] RED
    Oh, man.
[11:49] RED
    You had to suddenly change paths and
    lead a completely different life.
[11:53] RED
    That must've been hard.
[11:55] VAN
    It was.
[11:57] RED
    So, what are you planning on doing now?
[12:00] RED
    Are you going to leave immediately?
[12:02] VAN
    Of course I...
[12:04] VAN
    No.
[12:07] VAN
    I think I should consult my party first.
[12:18] VAN
    Lavender.
[12:20] LAVENDER
    Van!
[12:22] LAVENDER
    Did he do anything weird to you?
[12:24] VAN
    No, I'm fine.
[12:26] VAN
    Also...
[12:29] VAN
    Lavender, thank you for
    always being by my side.
[12:37] LAVENDER
    Aw, it's my pleasure.
[12:49] ESTA
    Pardon me.
[12:55] ESTA
    How do you feel,
[12:56] ESTA
    Cardinal Ljubo?
[12:58] LJUBO
    Hmph!
[12:59] LJUBO
    They took away my drinks and my cigars.
[13:01] LJUBO
    How do you think I feel?
[13:04] ESTA
    I see you're doing just fine.
[13:08] LJUBO
    Van came to see me and
    asked for my forgiveness.
[13:12] LJUBO
    He said he wanted me to accompany
    him on his travels again.
[13:15] ESTA
    And what was your answer?
[13:17] LJUBO
    I forgave him, of course.
[13:19] LJUBO
    No matter how many problems
    he causes or sins he commits,
[13:21] LJUBO
    Van is the Hero,
    and there is no changing that.
[13:25] LJUBO
    I need the Hero to fulfill
    my divine ambitions.
[13:30] LJUBO
    I didn't expect the prideful
    Van to apologize, though.
[13:34] LJUBO
    You put him up to it, didn't you?
[13:36] ESTA
    All I did was hear him out.
[13:39] ESTA
    It was Van who felt bad about the things
    he'd done and wanted to apologize.
[13:44] ESTA
    He also went and spoke
    to Albert and the mayor.
[13:55] ESTA
    They were all shocked by his change of heart.
[13:59] LJUBO
    I'd love to add Gideon, who changed
    Van so much, to our party,
[14:03] LJUBO
    but that's not going to happen, is it,
[14:07] LJUBO
    Theodora Dephilo?
[14:09] ESTA
    Who might that be?
[14:13] LJUBO
    You're a terrible liar.
[14:24] KID1
    Oh!
[14:25] KID1
    Sir Hewo!
[14:29] TANTA
    What do you want?
[14:31] TANTA
    The kids are all afraid of you.
[14:36] VAN
    I came to apologize for that.
[14:39] VAN
    I'm sorry about before.
[14:43] VAN
    I think I should've tried to
    get to know you all better.
[14:51] KID1
    Let's pway togeda!
[14:57] VAN
    Sure.
[15:00] KID1
    Yay!
[15:02] KID1
    Let's pway, Sir Hewo!
[15:11] LAVENDER
    What's the meaning of this?!
[15:13] LAVENDER
    Why does Van have to go around
    apologizing to people?
[15:17] RIT
    He's the one who wanted to, isn't he?
[15:20] LAVENDER
    Yeah, but my Van's becoming
    a different person!
[15:27] RIT
    Do you dislike him now?
[15:28] LAVENDER
    Of course not!
[15:30] LAVENDER
    If anything, I love—
[15:34] LAVENDER
    This wasn't supposed to be happen.
[15:39] RIT
    I just remembered I have some good mead.
[15:41] RIT
    Let's talk about it over drinks.
[15:43] LAVENDER
    Good idea! Bring some snacks, too!
[15:45] RIT
    Sure. Give me a bit.
[15:59] RED
    All done.
[16:00] LAVENDER
    Hey.
[16:02] RED
    Lavender. I didn't know you were here.
[16:05] LAVENDER
    Just so you know, I hate you.
[16:08] LAVENDER
    I'll never forgive you for hurting Van.
[16:11] RED
    Hey, he cut me, too. We're even.
[16:14] LAVENDER
    Boo!
[16:16] LAVENDER
    Take this!
[16:23] RED
    Wait, what?!
[16:25] RED
    This is a blue sapphire!
[16:27] LAVENDER
    As thanks for looking after Van.
[16:31] RED
    How did you get this?
[16:34] LAVENDER
    When I drank with Rit last time,
[16:35] LAVENDER
    she mentioned that you were looking for
    a gem to put in her engagement ring.
[16:39] LAVENDER
    I could get my hands on gold or whatever
    if I asked the fairies, so I did just that.
[16:45] RED
    Archfay are amazing, huh?
[16:47] LAVENDER
    I'll allow you to worship at my altar.
[16:50] RED
    Thanks.
[16:51] LAVENDER
    Hmph! Don't you dare mess this up!
[16:56] RIT
    Huh? Where'd you go, Lavender?
[16:59] LAVENDER
    I'm right here! Let's get drinking!
[17:01] RIT
    Have some patience, will you?
[17:10] MOGRIM
    Whoa.
[17:13] MOGRIM
    I've seen my fair share of blue sapphires,
    but this has got to be the best one ever.
[17:16] MOGRIM
    I can make you the greatest
    engagement ring ever with this.
[17:19] RED
    Really?
[17:22] MOGRIM
    You've got time, right?
[17:23] RED
    Yeah.
[17:24] MOGRIM
    Come on in.
[17:26] MOGRIM
    I'm closing up shop for the day.
[17:29] MOGRIM
    Hey, Mink! Get my jeweler's tools for me!
[17:32] MOGRIM
    Actually, I'll get them myself!
[17:34] MOGRIM
    You stay put!
[17:36] MOGRIM
    What are you doing, Red? Get over here!
[18:03] RED
    There.
[18:08] RED
    Dinner's ready, Rit.
[18:11] RIT
    Coming.
[18:27] RIT
    Huh?
[18:29] RIT
    Is today something important?
[18:32] RED
    Nah, that's not it.
[18:44] RED
    I want to give you something.
[18:52] RIT
    Is that a blue sapphire?
[18:55] RIT
    Wait, is this...
[18:57] RED
    Rit!
[18:58] RIT
    Y-Yesh?!
[18:59] RED
    If you don't mind, could you...
[19:05] RED
    Nah.
[19:07] RED
    That's not right.
[19:13] RED
    Please.
[19:16] RED
    Marry me.
[19:20] RIT
    Red...
[19:21] RED
    I love you, Rit.
[19:24] RED
    I've been in love with you ever
    since I met you in Loggervia.
[19:38] RED
    I'm no hero at this point, and I may not
    be a good match for a princess like you.
[19:44] RED
    But I promise to make you
    as happy as I possibly can.
[19:48] RED
    I'll wake you up every
    morning with breakfast.
[19:53] RED
    I promise you that.
[19:56] RIT
    Okay...
[20:02] RIT
    I should be the one asking you.
[20:05] RIT
    Please marry me.
[20:09] RIT
    I swear all my love to you.
[20:13] RIT
    Even when we're all old and wrinkly,
[20:18] RIT
    I will be there by your
    side as long as I live.
[20:22] RED
    Thanks.
[20:36] RIT
    I'm so happy.
[20:39] RIT
    It's a dream come true!
[20:43] RIT
    Red!
[20:48] RED
    Rit.
[21:02] EVERYONE
    Congrats!
[21:02] TISSE
    Congratulations!
[21:05] RED
    Thanks, guys.
[21:06] YARANDRALA
    Way to go, Red.
[21:08] YARANDRALA
    Spending time in Zoltan has helped me
    realize that you two really are happy here.
[21:13] RED
    Thanks.
[21:13] RIT
    Thanks.
[21:16] YARANDRALA
    Rit.
[21:17] YARANDRALA
    Thanks for bringing my dear friend happiness.
[21:24] ESTA
    I never expected Red and the
    Champion Rit to end up engaged.
[21:29] DANAN
    People change.
[21:30] DANAN
    You've changed a lot yourself.
[21:33] ESTA
    Huh?
[21:35] ALBERT
    What was she like in the past?
[21:38] ALBERT
    I'd love to know more!
[21:39] ESTA
    Wait...
[21:39] VAN
    I'd like to know, too.
[21:41] ESTA
    What?
[21:41] LAVENDER
    Van!
[21:41] DANAN
    I'll fill you in.
[21:43] YARANDRALA
    I heard she saw Ruti and the others
    as threats back when they first met.
[21:47] ESTA
    What?!
[21:47] ESTA
    We are not talking about that!
[21:49] RUTI
    Big Brother.
[21:49] ESTA
    Albert, tell us more about yourself instead!
[21:52] TISSE
    My heartfelt congratulations, Red, Rit.
[21:58] RED
    Thanks.
[21:59] RUTI
    You two look really happy together.
[22:03] RUTI
    And that gives me so much joy.
[22:06] RIT
    Ruti...
[22:07] RED
    Hearing that from you makes it all worth it.
[22:11] RUTI
    Yeah. Next is my turn.
[22:14] TISSE
    Next?!
[22:17] DANAN
    I'll get you some more meat right away.
[22:20] VAN
    Please don't. Due to my Blessing,
    I don't feel hunger or taste...
[22:22] ALBERT
    Just you wait.
[22:23] LAVENDER
    I'll go get some more mead, too!
[22:28] RUTI
    Next is my turn.
[22:29] YARANDRALA
    Don't let her beat you
    to the punch, Esta!
[22:32] ESTA
    Huh? What?
[22:34] RED
    The Hero's journey will be
    paved with difficulties.
[22:37] RED
    I know that all too well.
[22:43] RED
    But, unlike Ruti,
    Van wishes to fight.
[22:46] LAVENDERRIT
    Cheers!
[22:49] RED
    I don't have it in me to say
    that his desire is mistaken.
[22:55] RED
    Before the Hero goes on his way,
[22:57] RED
    I think I'll continue
    to play my part
[22:59] RED
    in Van the Hero's story
    just a bit more.
[23:05] RED
    Van.
