[00:09] ALBERT
    Welcome back, Theodora.
[00:12] ESTA
    Call me "Esta" here.
[00:14] ALBERT
    Right. Sorry, I haven't
    gotten used to it yet.
SIGN    Banished from the Hero's Party,
    I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside 2nd
SIGN    Zoltan's Solstice Festival
[01:59] ALBERT
    The previous demon lord's airship?
[02:01] ESTA
    It's the ship Ruti took to Zoltan.
[02:05] ESTA
    If Van heads to Zoltan and runs into Ruti,
[02:11] ESTA
    it will not be pretty.
[02:14] ESTA
    We need to avoid that, for Ruti's sake.
[02:17] ESTA
    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...
