[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!
