[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...
