[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!
