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.
