**[00:04] ---**
Big brother!
**[00:07] ---**
Big brother?
**[00:09] ---**
So you're Red's kid sister?
**[00:11] ---**
That means you must be Sir Gideon.
**[00:16] ---**
Who's Gideon?
**[00:17] ---**
Who's Red?
**[00:37] ---**
"Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided
to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside"
**[01:54] ---**
"Saving the Hero"
**[01:56] ---**
Was it a good idea to let him leave
after what just happened?
**[02:00] ---**
Yeah, Gonz won't be a problem.
**[02:03] ---**
He won't be prying into our affairs.
**[02:07] ---**
All right then.
**[02:10] ---**
I didn't introduce myself
when we first met. I am Tisse.
**[02:14] ---**
I joined the Hero's party after you left.
**[02:18] ---**
So you're my replacement.
**[02:21] ---**
Do you live with someone?
**[02:24] ---**
Yes. There's someone I live with here.
**[02:28] ---**
Oh.
**[02:29] ---**
Remember when we were in Loggervia?
**[02:32] ---**
There was that princess
by the name of Rizlet?
**[02:35] ---**
You mean Rit.
**[02:40] ---**
Ares likely told you I left to keep tabs
on the Demon Lord's army.
**[02:45] ---**
No, he said that you had fled.
**[02:48] ---**
That no-good Ares didn't keep his promise.
**[02:53] ---**
Ruti, the truth is...
**[02:58] ---**
Okay, I understand.
**[03:01] ---**
I'm sorry for suddenly disappearing.
**[03:03] ---**
It's Ares's fault.
**[03:06] ---**
But I'll make sure he
keeps his mouth shut.
**[03:09] ---**
Everything's fine now.
**[03:11] ---**
You can rejoin the party.
**[03:13] ---**
It's not complete without you.
**[03:16] ---**
We could even kick Ares out.
**[03:18] ---**
We can't do without you.
**[03:21] ---**
Ares failed to take on the burden
you once shouldered.
**[03:26] ---**
Danan left to go find you,
**[03:28] ---**
and Yarandrala left the party because
she thought Ares had killed you.
**[03:34] ---**
All this time, I thought your adventures
were going smoothly.
**[03:39] ---**
So then...?
**[03:42] ---**
I'm sorry, Ruti.
**[03:44] ---**
I've found a reason to stay here.
**[03:49] ---**
I see. Then I'll move to this town, too.
**[03:53] ---**
What?!
**[03:59] ---**
I'm home!
**[04:01] ---**
It's Rit.
**[04:02] ---**
You there, Red?
**[04:03] ---**
The closed sign is up.
**[04:11] ---**
It's been a while.
**[04:17] ---**
Th-Thank you.
**[04:28] ---**
So what brings you to Zoltan?
**[04:31] ---**
To find you, for one thing.
**[04:33] ---**
To find me?
**[04:34] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[04:35] ---**
We need you in order to
defeat the Demon Lord.
**[04:39] ---**
And I'm also looking for someone else,
**[04:43] ---**
someone who knows how we
can defeat the Demon Lord.
**[04:46] ---**
But I already found them.
**[04:49] ---**
I see.
**[04:50] ---**
So...
**[04:53] ---**
...what will you do, Red?
**[04:58] ---**
I'm going to stay here.
**[05:01] ---**
I'll run this shop with you, Rit.
**[05:03] ---**
Really?
**[05:05] ---**
But...
**[05:06] ---**
No need to worry, Rit.
**[05:08] ---**
I'm moving to this town, too.
**[05:11] ---**
What?!
**[05:13] ---**
I'll be leaving now.
**[05:14] ---**
You're leaving?
**[05:16] ---**
I have something to do.
We'll stay at the inn.
**[05:20] ---**
All right.
**[05:22] ---**
Don't be a stranger.
**[05:24] ---**
I'm almost always here.
**[05:33] ---**
Goodbye.
**[05:34] ---**
Thank you for the tea.
**[05:46] ---**
A-Are you all right?
**[05:48] ---**
I shouldn't have said I would stay here.
**[05:51] ---**
I have to weaken myself again.
**[06:06] ---**
Red, are you really sure about this?
**[06:10] ---**
About what?
**[06:13] ---**
It's not really my place to say,
**[06:17] ---**
but Ruti needs you.
**[06:20] ---**
If it's true, I think you
should go with her.
**[06:23] ---**
For the sake of the world.
**[06:28] ---**
Some might criticize
her choice as selfish.
**[06:33] ---**
But if there's something wrong
with that, that's on me.
**[06:37] ---**
It's not Ruti's fault.
**[06:40] ---**
Red?
**[06:42] ---**
She may bear the fate of
our world on her shoulders,
**[06:45] ---**
but she's still a 17-year-old girl.
**[06:52] ---**
We need some time to think.
**[06:55] ---**
Let's talk about this again
and include Ruti, too.
**[06:58] ---**
Okay.
**[07:02] ---**
How are your wounds healing?
**[07:04] ---**
They're healing quite nicely.
**[07:06] ---**
So, when will we be leaving Zoltan?
**[07:09] ---**
We've had a change of plans.
**[07:12] ---**
It seems we'll be here
longer than expected.
**[07:15] ---**
Wh-What did you say?!
**[07:17] ---**
If someone from Zoltan finds me,
and I'm sent back to prison,
**[07:20] ---**
I'm sure to be executed.
**[07:22] ---**
You can't make that drug without me!
**[07:25] ---**
Please calm down.
**[07:28] ---**
I was just as shocked as you.
**[07:34] ---**
Milady, I don't think we can keep
Godwin locked up much longer.
**[07:39] ---**
He says he'll need a fully equipped
workshop to make the drug.
**[07:44] ---**
Did he?
**[07:46] ---**
There's somewhere I wish to search.
**[07:48] ---**
If I don't find anything within
about a week, I'll give up.
**[07:51] ---**
You want to search somewhere?
**[07:54] ---**
I heard there's an ancient elven ruin on
the mountain where our airship landed.
**[07:59] ---**
An ancient elven ruin would be
a great place for a hideout.
**[08:03] ---**
But why are you so--
**[08:10] ---**
Did I say something wrong?
**[08:17] ---**
What is it?
**[08:18] ---**
Tisse.
**[08:21] ---**
Don't hurt Mr. Crawly Wawly!
**[08:23] ---**
You misunderstand me.
I know that little guy is your friend.
**[08:28] ---**
I wasn't trying to strike him.
**[08:30] ---**
What? "Really look"?
**[08:33] ---**
You have it all wrong. I meant no harm.
**[08:37] ---**
Forgive me.
**[08:39] ---**
Who is this standing before me?
**[08:41] ---**
It's the Hero.
**[08:43] ---**
She has the greatest Blessing of all.
The fate of the world is in her hands.
**[08:47] ---**
She lives for what is right,
but even her comrades fear her.
**[08:52] ---**
But all I see right now
**[08:54] ---**
is a puzzled girl who upset
a friend but can't figure out why.
**[09:02] ---**
We failed to communicate,
and I ended up drawing my sword.
**[09:06] ---**
But to the Hero, it merely seems
like she unknowingly upset a friend.
**[09:11] ---**
Her lack of communication skills
has left her isolated her whole life.
**[09:18] ---**
I'm sorry I misunderstood
your intent. Please forgive me.
**[09:23] ---**
So then, you're not angry?
**[09:25] ---**
No. Are you, Lady Ruti?
**[09:28] ---**
I'm not angry.
**[09:29] ---**
I'm glad.
**[09:31] ---**
But if you wish to pet my friend,
I ask that you say something first.
**[09:35] ---**
Understood.
**[09:38] ---**
What's his name?
**[09:39] ---**
Mr. Crawly Wawly.
**[09:41] ---**
Crawly Wawly.
**[09:41] ---**
Mr. Crawly Wawly.
Mister is part of his name.
**[09:45] ---**
Mr. Crawly Wawly, my name is Ruti.
It's nice to meet you.
**[09:51] ---**
I am Tisse, assassin,
part-time airship pilot,
**[09:57] ---**
and now friend to the Hero Ruti.
**[10:03] ---**
Try as I might,
**[10:04] ---**
I can't find any wood-elf-age
structures that are still standing.
**[10:09] ---**
Were they hidden the usual way,
using nature as a defense?
**[10:12] ---**
No, I seek that which the wood elves
would do anything to protect.
**[10:18] ---**
There's a slight chance it's on
the ocean floor or underground,
**[10:21] ---**
but more likely, it's somewhere
no one can enter.
**[10:24] ---**
The ancient elven ruins.
**[10:28] ---**
Hmm? Is this all the magic power
it's accumulated?
**[10:32] ---**
How could anyone have become
aware of the curse so soon?
**[10:42] ---**
Welcome.
**[10:48] ---**
I bid you welcome.
**[10:52] ---**
The customers keep running away.
**[10:54] ---**
Ruti has a formidable,
even threatening, vibe.
**[10:57] ---**
Perhaps you should try smiling?
**[11:00] ---**
Really?
**[11:01] ---**
Yeah, a smile definitely wouldn't hurt.
**[11:05] ---**
I was thinking...
**[11:07] ---**
Care to join me for a trip into town?
I'll show you around.
**[11:11] ---**
Sure.
**[11:13] ---**
I'll stay here and mind
the store with Mistress Rit.
**[11:17] ---**
Please enjoy yourself, Lady Ruti.
**[11:21] ---**
This is the sauna we frequent.
**[11:23] ---**
I supply the potpourri sacks they use.
**[11:27] ---**
A sauna?
**[11:28] ---**
Want to give it a try?
**[11:33] ---**
Welcome.
**[11:35] ---**
Oh, Red, it's you.
**[11:36] ---**
Business is booming.
**[11:38] ---**
Thanks to you.
**[11:39] ---**
I've never seen you
around here, young lady.
**[11:42] ---**
She's my kid sister.
**[11:43] ---**
Oh?
**[11:44] ---**
I never knew you had a little sister.
**[11:49] ---**
Zeff?
**[11:52] ---**
Forgive me. I'm fine now.
**[11:55] ---**
The Blessings and pasts of my customers
are none of my business.
**[11:59] ---**
I'm sorry if I offended you, little lady.
**[12:36] ---**
There's nothing like fruit-flavored milk
after the sauna!
**[12:41] ---**
It's been ages since we
spent time together like this.
**[12:44] ---**
Yeah, it has.
**[12:46] ---**
It's the shaking girl!
**[12:48] ---**
"Shaking girl"?
**[12:49] ---**
It was amazing!
**[12:50] ---**
She dumped water all over her head
**[12:53] ---**
and then shook so fast,
she completely dried off!
**[13:03] ---**
Must've been one of her
superhuman abilities.
**[13:08] ---**
She's amazing, right?
I'm proud of my kid sister.
**[13:11] ---**
Yeah, she's really amazing!
**[13:13] ---**
I've never seen anything like it.
**[13:17] ---**
I didn't know you had a sister like that.
**[13:19] ---**
She looks more formidable than you.
**[13:29] ---**
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to stick out like that.
**[13:33] ---**
It's all right. No one around here
is going to pry into our affairs.
**[13:37] ---**
There's no harm in sticking out a bit.
**[13:40] ---**
So don't worry.
**[13:41] ---**
Are you sure it's all right?
**[13:43] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:44] ---**
You're my pride and joy. I'm glad
I could introduce you to everyone.
**[13:49] ---**
I'm your pride and joy?
**[13:53] ---**
Ruti, you're adorable,
kind, and trustworthy.
**[13:57] ---**
I'm so proud of you.
**[14:01] ---**
Okay, let's go visit the market.
**[14:04] ---**
If I could be granted one wish,
**[14:08] ---**
I would wish that
**[14:10] ---**
this day would last forever.
**[14:13] ---**
But...
**[14:14] ---**
...the Almighty bestowed
the Hero's Blessing upon me.
**[14:18] ---**
So who can make my wish come true?
**[14:26] ---**
I'm sure of it!
**[14:28] ---**
Ruti is at or near the
Wall at the World's End.
**[14:42] ---**
Have I been any help at all?
**[14:45] ---**
Thanks to you, we are closer
to tracking down the Hero.
**[14:49] ---**
That much is true.
**[14:51] ---**
I see.
**[14:54] ---**
At our next stop, we'll buy you
a prosthetic hand.
**[14:57] ---**
Allow us to at least do that.
**[15:00] ---**
The man who severed my hand
was a strange one.
**[15:06] ---**
I don't understand how he can be so
powerful yet not become a champion.
**[15:11] ---**
We must live a life suited
to our Blessing.
**[15:16] ---**
That's one of the Church's teachings.
**[15:19] ---**
Yes, but people are more
than their Blessing.
**[15:22] ---**
What?
**[15:23] ---**
They also have free will.
**[15:25] ---**
They have their own lives,
dreams, and futures.
**[15:29] ---**
If someone has a Blessing
that can make them a champion,
**[15:33] ---**
does that mean they must follow that path?
**[15:36] ---**
Are they not allowed to
choose another path?
**[15:40] ---**
But isn't that what the Almighty wants?
**[15:44] ---**
If so, then why did He give us free will?
**[15:48] ---**
If fulfilling the role allotted
by one's Blessing is everything,
**[15:52] ---**
we have no need for free will, do we?
**[15:56] ---**
I don't know.
**[16:01] ---**
I, too, am seeking an answer to that.
**[16:09] ---**
That's yummy.
**[16:11] ---**
It's warm milk and honey.
**[16:12] ---**
It's your favorite, right, Ruti?
**[16:15] ---**
Yes.
**[16:16] ---**
And this here is sugar water.
**[16:19] ---**
Your pet spider might like it.
**[16:21] ---**
Thank you.
**[16:22] ---**
This little fella is Mr. Crawly Wawly.
**[16:24] ---**
Crawly Wawly.
**[16:25] ---**
Mister is part of his name.
**[16:30] ---**
We also have a bathtub. Would you like
to bathe before returning to the inn?
**[16:35] ---**
Sure. Can I take a bath with you?
**[16:38] ---**
I think we're past the age
where we can bathe together.
**[16:41] ---**
Oh, okay. Then I want
to take a bath with Rit.
**[16:46] ---**
No?
**[16:49] ---**
Okay, sure.
**[16:51] ---**
May I join you?
**[16:55] ---**
I love taking baths in different places,
and I keep a record of each one.
**[17:00] ---**
My fellow guild members
call me the Bath Critic.
**[17:05] ---**
Four stars.
**[17:07] ---**
Unfortunately, it's a little too deep,
so the water goes up to my mouth.
**[17:13] ---**
But the real issue right now
is right next to me.
**[17:16] ---**
As a member of the Assassins' Guild,
**[17:18] ---**
I've seen lots of people
who've wanted someone dead.
**[17:22] ---**
Love can turn into a motive for murder.
**[17:25] ---**
So I must watch carefully to ensure
there are no misunderstandings.
**[17:29] ---**
Rit?
**[17:32] ---**
Yes?
**[17:34] ---**
Have you taken a bath with my brother?
**[17:37] ---**
Yikes! She really went there!
**[17:40] ---**
Yes, I have.
**[17:42] ---**
Yikes! That was a straightforward answer!
**[17:44] ---**
I have, too, but it was a long time ago.
**[17:47] ---**
What was Red, or should I say Gideon,
like when he was a kid?
**[17:53] ---**
The same as now.
**[17:54] ---**
He hasn't grown up?
**[17:56] ---**
No.
**[17:58] ---**
My brother was always an amazing person.
**[18:01] ---**
I was weak when I was little.
**[18:04] ---**
That's hard to believe, seeing you now.
**[18:07] ---**
But it's true.
**[18:08] ---**
My first battle happened
while I was searching for a child
**[18:12] ---**
who got lost in the nearby mountains.
**[18:16] ---**
I was five.
**[18:18] ---**
I myself was but a child.
**[18:21] ---**
But I was the Hero, so I had to act.
**[18:26] ---**
Ruti!
**[18:32] ---**
I had no hope of victory,
**[18:34] ---**
but I couldn't abandon her.
**[18:37] ---**
The Hero's Blessing
prioritizes being the Hero
**[18:40] ---**
over preserving one's own life.
**[18:51] ---**
Healing Hands.
**[19:12] ---**
Even if I survive this, I'll just suffer
more pain for the sake of others.
**[19:18] ---**
But even then,
**[19:20] ---**
they call me a creepy kid behind my back.
**[19:24] ---**
But even after talking behind my back,
they ask for my help when they're in need.
**[19:31] ---**
I've had enough.
**[19:34] ---**
But never seeing my brother again...
**[19:38] ---**
That I can't abide!
**[19:43] ---**
Big brother, help!
**[19:50] ---**
Big brother.
**[19:52] ---**
Ruti!
**[19:54] ---**
I'm sorry it took so long to get here.
I'm really sorry.
**[20:01] ---**
My brother always stayed by my side
when I was in anguish or pain.
**[20:06] ---**
He even shed tears for me.
**[20:09] ---**
That made me so happy.
**[20:12] ---**
I don't enjoy baths as much as I used to.
**[20:16] ---**
My body is resistant
to all manner of things.
**[20:20] ---**
My body temperature doesn't vary,
no matter how hot or cold it is.
**[20:25] ---**
The only reason I think baths feel good
**[20:28] ---**
is because I remember
that's how I used to feel.
**[20:32] ---**
That milk I drank didn't taste
as good as it used to.
**[20:36] ---**
But I remember how good my brother's
warm milk and honey used to taste.
**[20:41] ---**
So Lady Ruti's feelings aren't
as intense as they used to be
**[20:45] ---**
due to her Blessing.
**[20:47] ---**
She can only be in love with the past.
**[20:50] ---**
Lady Ruti only has Sir Gideon.
**[20:55] ---**
I didn't like you when we were
adventuring together back in Loggervia.
**[21:00] ---**
I had a chip on my shoulder.
**[21:02] ---**
I wasn't about to let
the Hero handle everything.
**[21:05] ---**
That's not why.
**[21:07] ---**
I envied you.
**[21:09] ---**
You were free to laugh, cry,
or get angry when you felt like it.
**[21:14] ---**
I envied how you were slowly getting
closer and closer with my brother.
**[21:20] ---**
I really envied you.
**[21:22] ---**
Rit, Tisse,
**[21:25] ---**
this is me.
**[21:27] ---**
This is the Hero Ruti.
**[21:30] ---**
Rit, I didn't want to be the Hero.
**[21:33] ---**
I wanted to be you.
**[21:39] ---**
I guess I can't help.
**[21:41] ---**
Only Sir Gideon can save Lady Ruti.
**[21:47] ---**
No?
**[21:49] ---**
You're right. Nothing is impossible.
**[21:52] ---**
The princess was fixated
on the Hero's Blessing,
**[21:55] ---**
but the champion who could save the
princess turned out to be Sir Gideon.
**[21:59] ---**
So then maybe I could be
the mage who saves the Hero.
**[22:04] ---**
And so it begins.
**[22:07] ---**
This is the tale of how I save the Hero.
