**[00:06] ---**
There were a large number of
stone fragments in his wound.
**[00:11] ---**
Maybe he was struck by a rock
kicked up by the wind.
**[00:15] ---**
What was he doing outside
on a night like this?
**[00:20] ---**
Al, are you okay?
**[00:25] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[00:26] ---**
Ademi came over to my house.
My mom and dad were attacked!
**[00:29] ---**
He had an axe! You gotta help me!
**[00:49] ---**
"Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided
to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside"
**[02:06] ---**
"The Chaos After the Storm"
**[02:10] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[02:15] ---**
Red!
**[02:16] ---**
They're both alive.
**[02:18] ---**
Good. When Al said Ademi had an axe,
I feared the worst.
**[02:22] ---**
It only looks like blunt-force trauma.
**[02:26] ---**
What happened here?
**[02:28] ---**
It could've been much worse.
**[02:31] ---**
But this attack is bound to
lead to much more trouble.
**[02:35] ---**
Ademi is the son of Moen,
the captain of the guard.
**[02:40] ---**
After the attack, Ademi vanished.
**[02:44] ---**
The people of Southmarsh were outraged
**[02:46] ---**
and claimed the townguard
was sheltering him.
**[02:50] ---**
But they wouldn't respond
to the allegation.
**[02:53] ---**
The smoldering discontent was ready
to burst into flame at any moment.
**[02:58] ---**
Al's parents are being used by the people
of Southmarsh as a symbol of protest.
**[03:03] ---**
So they are now recovering in the mansion
of Bighawk, a Thieves' Guild official.
**[03:09] ---**
They entrusted us with Al
for the time being.
**[03:14] ---**
Aren't Red's scrambled eggs yummy?
**[03:17] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[03:20] ---**
Thanks for the food.
**[03:22] ---**
Um, Miss Rit?
**[03:23] ---**
Yes? What is it?
**[03:25] ---**
Will you...
**[03:27] ---**
...teach me how to wield a sword?!
**[03:32] ---**
Try and strike me!
**[03:45] ---**
Can we please try that again?
**[03:58] ---**
Al seems to be feeling better now.
**[04:01] ---**
It's thanks to you, Rit.
**[04:02] ---**
It's not really me. It's his Blessing.
**[04:05] ---**
He had the time of his life wielding
his weapon exactly how he wanted.
**[04:10] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:12] ---**
But I've never actually
taught anyone how to fight.
**[04:17] ---**
I hope he doesn't develop bad habits.
**[04:19] ---**
I think you're doing great.
**[04:22] ---**
But my master said you must learn
a lot more than just swinging a sword.
**[04:27] ---**
"There's a philosophy
behind a blade," he said.
**[04:30] ---**
And he added it cannot
be taught by one's Blessing.
**[04:34] ---**
I wonder if I'll be able to teach Al
the things my master taught me.
**[04:40] ---**
Sure you can.
**[04:41] ---**
Really?
**[04:42] ---**
You're Rit, after all.
**[04:46] ---**
What's that mean?
**[04:50] ---**
But seriously...
**[04:55] ---**
Thank you.
**[04:57] ---**
Red!
**[05:00] ---**
Gonz. Nao.
**[05:03] ---**
The townguard took Tanta away!
**[05:06] ---**
--Huh?
--What?
**[05:09] ---**
He was playing in the neighborhood
when some guards came
**[05:12] ---**
and took Tanta away without saying why.
**[05:15] ---**
My husband went to the guardhouse,
**[05:19] ---**
but they won't allow a visit.
**[05:21] ---**
What do you mean, Tanta's been taken away?
**[05:30] ---**
I understand the situation.
**[05:32] ---**
But what do you want me to do?
**[05:35] ---**
I want the guild to request a
joint inquiry with the townguard.
**[05:40] ---**
I see. Then you can be present
at Tanta's questioning.
**[05:45] ---**
Can I assume it's the Champion Rit who
will be working to resolve this matter?
**[05:54] ---**
Very well.
**[05:55] ---**
It's a small price to pay if I can have
the Champion Rit in my debt.
**[06:01] ---**
Mido and Nao.
**[06:04] ---**
I don't like to see youngsters
looking so sad.
**[06:08] ---**
I'm owed a favor.
**[06:12] ---**
It comes with the territory.
**[06:15] ---**
Give this to the captain.
**[06:17] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[06:22] ---**
What do you want?
**[06:28] ---**
Inform the captain!
**[06:29] ---**
Okay!
**[06:30] ---**
That won't be necessary.
**[06:31] ---**
"Moen, Captain of the Guard"
**[06:32] ---**
State your business.
**[06:37] ---**
Tanta!
**[06:38] ---**
Daddy!
**[06:39] ---**
Are you okay? They didn't
mistreat you, did they?!
**[06:42] ---**
No, they didn't do anything that hurt.
**[06:45] ---**
Tanta! What a relief!
**[06:47] ---**
Al! You came, too?!
**[06:48] ---**
I was so worried.
**[06:53] ---**
I gave the order for him to be
brought in for questioning.
**[06:56] ---**
But I didn't think they'd tie him up.
I'm sorry about that.
**[07:01] ---**
And I never received word that
his father had requested a visit.
**[07:05] ---**
I'm sorry for that, too.
**[07:07] ---**
Tanta's fine, so let's just
forget about this.
**[07:10] ---**
Why did you do this?
**[07:13] ---**
To question him.
**[07:15] ---**
My men think Ademi may have been
killed by a Southmarsh resident.
**[07:20] ---**
That's far from the way we see it.
**[07:23] ---**
The guards always doted over him.
**[07:26] ---**
Then there was the attack that
cost the life of one of my men.
**[07:31] ---**
Campbell and the other perpetrators
are from Southmarsh.
**[07:35] ---**
And with this latest attack,
**[07:37] ---**
my men have ended up mistaking
the victims for the perpetrators.
**[07:43] ---**
Some of them even doubt it was
Ademi that Al saw in his home.
**[07:49] ---**
Hey!
**[07:50] ---**
I saw him. It was definitely Ademi!
**[07:53] ---**
I can't rule out that you're lying.
**[07:56] ---**
That is a reasonable interpretation.
**[07:59] ---**
There's too much about the
latest attack that puzzles me.
**[08:03] ---**
How is it that your parents survived?
**[08:05] ---**
Why would Ademi allegedly use an axe?
**[08:08] ---**
That's why my men believe
the attacker wasn't Ademi,
**[08:11] ---**
but someone from Southmarsh.
**[08:14] ---**
And they think your parents'
injuries were staged!
**[08:17] ---**
I don't believe Ademi would
do something like that, either.
**[08:22] ---**
Tanta!
**[08:23] ---**
Sorry! I'm not saying you're lying, Al!
**[08:27] ---**
It's just... Ademi apologized to me.
**[08:30] ---**
He said he was sorry for hitting me.
**[08:32] ---**
He was having a tough time.
**[08:34] ---**
He said the Bar Brawler Blessing
was making him resort to violence.
**[08:39] ---**
But his dream is to join the townguard.
**[08:42] ---**
He knows the townguard's job is
to protect people, not hurt them.
**[08:50] ---**
But...
**[08:53] ---**
"Don't worry anymore. I won't
hit anyone again for no reason."
**[08:57] ---**
That's what he said to me.
**[09:01] ---**
What do you think Ademi meant by that?
**[09:04] ---**
I don't know.
**[09:05] ---**
Red, was it? I need
to have a word with you.
**[09:10] ---**
All right.
**[09:11] ---**
Sorry, Mido, but could you
see Al safely home?
**[09:15] ---**
Sure.
**[09:17] ---**
The Champion Rit.
**[09:18] ---**
Word is you retired from adventuring.
**[09:23] ---**
But if I'm going to seek your help,
there are some things you'll need to know.
**[09:28] ---**
Of course, you will be compensated.
**[09:32] ---**
I'm listening.
**[09:34] ---**
I appreciate it.
**[09:35] ---**
Don't take this the wrong way,
but I have a question.
**[09:39] ---**
Go ahead.
**[09:42] ---**
Was there any sign
that Ademi used that new drug?
**[09:48] ---**
I taught my son that anyone involved
in things like that is nothing but scum!
**[09:53] ---**
But surely you see.
**[09:55] ---**
There are similarities with
the attack by Campbell.
**[09:59] ---**
There's no evidence yet, because no one
in Zoltan has the Appraisal skill.
**[10:05] ---**
What about Blessings?
**[10:07] ---**
It's possible that the drug
can give users another Blessing.
**[10:24] ---**
Welcome.
**[10:26] ---**
You must be Al.
**[10:33] ---**
Welcome back, Mr. Red!
**[10:35] ---**
Hey there.
**[10:36] ---**
Where's Miss Rit?
**[10:37] ---**
She probably won't be back for a while.
**[10:40] ---**
Really?
**[10:41] ---**
How about I help you train?!
**[10:44] ---**
You?
**[10:48] ---**
Okay, let's do this.
**[10:51] ---**
Where's your weapon?
**[10:55] ---**
A broom is more than enough.
**[11:11] ---**
What just happened?
**[11:13] ---**
You blindly charged at me,
so I knocked you off your feet.
**[11:17] ---**
Weapon Master hardens you
against fear and confusion,
**[11:20] ---**
but anger makes you vulnerable.
**[11:23] ---**
You must learn to control yourself.
**[11:27] ---**
Good. You'll level up in no time.
**[11:35] ---**
You've much to learn.
**[11:38] ---**
Your flank's exposed!
**[11:41] ---**
I'm beat.
**[11:42] ---**
All right, let's call it a day.
**[11:46] ---**
I was wondering.
**[11:47] ---**
Why are you a D-rank adventurer
if you're so good?
**[11:51] ---**
Just because you're good at something
doesn't mean you have to rise in stature.
**[11:56] ---**
Huh?
**[11:57] ---**
I enjoy my life here.
**[11:59] ---**
I'm running a shop with Rit,
and I get to help kids like you.
**[12:05] ---**
If someone close to me is in need,
I lend a helping hand.
**[12:08] ---**
I really enjoy all that.
**[12:11] ---**
But what about living up to your Blessing
**[12:14] ---**
and becoming a great hero
that goes down in history?
**[12:17] ---**
Isn't that sort of life even better?
**[12:21] ---**
You used to be anxious
about your Blessing.
**[12:24] ---**
You said you wished you had
the Warrior Blessing.
**[12:27] ---**
But you've completely grown into it.
**[12:31] ---**
I guess so.
**[12:33] ---**
That's great if it's what you want.
**[12:35] ---**
Live or die by the sword,
you'll make a name for yourself.
**[12:39] ---**
That's not a bad life.
**[12:42] ---**
But it's not for me.
**[12:45] ---**
It's that simple.
**[12:48] ---**
I just got a sword from someone.
**[12:51] ---**
A sword?
**[12:53] ---**
I think it was someone
connected to Bighawk.
**[12:56] ---**
I heard from your old man that
you've awakened to your Blessing.
**[13:02] ---**
What's that?
**[13:04] ---**
It's a boon for a future Weapon Master.
**[13:07] ---**
May the Almighty's blessing be upon you.
**[13:11] ---**
It's a famous blade of great worth,
**[13:13] ---**
and I thought I could become
a champion like Rit if I had it.
**[13:19] ---**
But I don't know if it was my own idea
or my Blessing making me think that.
**[13:25] ---**
Good question. Ask your sword
if you're not sure.
**[13:28] ---**
Does it want to cut down tons of foes
or protect those dear to you?
**[13:34] ---**
You must ask your sword what it wants.
**[13:37] ---**
But I'm just repeating what
a skilled spear fighter told me.
**[13:54] ---**
Gimme a break, will ya?
**[13:59] ---**
I didn't think it would take days
to hunt you down.
**[14:03] ---**
You made me waste precious time.
**[14:18] ---**
Who'd plant a bomb
on one of their own men?
**[14:20] ---**
Is there someone that cruel in Zoltan?
**[14:23] ---**
Ugh!
**[14:26] ---**
I let my guard down.
**[14:27] ---**
It's not like me to end up like this.
**[14:43] ---**
That's no way to treat a lady.
**[14:50] ---**
Hello, Rit.
**[14:52] ---**
I didn't expect to find you here.
**[14:57] ---**
Danan.
**[15:00] ---**
O spirits of water,
cleanse this body of mine.
**[15:09] ---**
Danan, what are you doing here?
**[15:12] ---**
The Hero told me to go find Gideon.
**[15:17] ---**
So you plan on taking him back?
**[15:19] ---**
That was the plan,
**[15:21] ---**
but Gideon's found somewhere
to call home, hasn't he?
**[15:24] ---**
I'll leave it at that.
**[15:26] ---**
No need to drag him back.
**[15:29] ---**
However...
**[15:33] ---**
A stalker demon?!
**[15:34] ---**
It seems all is not well here, either.
**[15:37] ---**
What's an intermediate demon
doing in Zoltan?
**[15:40] ---**
No idea.
**[15:42] ---**
Who was that ruffian who exploded?
**[15:44] ---**
Some drug dealer.
Probably a member of the Thieves' Guild.
**[15:50] ---**
I'd sure like both of your help.
**[15:54] ---**
But it's better if Gideon
doesn't know I'm here.
**[15:58] ---**
So I'd like to exchange
information with you.
**[16:02] ---**
I'm staying at an inn over in Southmarsh.
**[16:05] ---**
All right.
**[16:06] ---**
Well, I better get going.
**[16:09] ---**
See ya.
**[16:12] ---**
This world is sure full of surprises.
**[16:19] ---**
I'm home.
**[16:21] ---**
Welcome back. You had a long day.
**[16:25] ---**
I'm exhausted.
**[16:29] ---**
That's better.
**[16:31] ---**
You make this sound like a hot bath.
**[16:34] ---**
A bath *would* be nice. I forgot
we talked about building one.
**[16:38] ---**
Don't worry. I already talked to Gonz.
**[16:40] ---**
He said he'd build it.
**[16:42] ---**
Hooray!
**[16:43] ---**
Oh, yeah.
**[16:45] ---**
Al received a sword from
one of Bighawk's men.
**[16:50] ---**
He wanted you to take a look at it.
**[16:53] ---**
Detect magic.
**[16:58] ---**
The blade is crimson steel.
The hilt is ebony.
**[17:01] ---**
It was made by a swordsmith
in the Island Kingdom of Igos.
**[17:05] ---**
It's not half bad.
**[17:07] ---**
Is it magic?
**[17:08] ---**
It has a basic magic enhancement.
**[17:11] ---**
But... Yes, I'm sure of it.
**[17:14] ---**
This sword has a Locate spell cast on it.
**[17:17] ---**
The location of the sword's bearer
is being conveyed to the caster.
**[17:22] ---**
Why would Bighawk
want to know where Al is?
**[17:26] ---**
Does he plan on using him in some way?
**[17:38] ---**
What is it? Did something happen?
**[17:40] ---**
I was just wondering how long
we'll be able to live together like this.
**[17:45] ---**
How long? Forever and ever.
**[17:51] ---**
I want to be with you forever, too.
**[18:05] ---**
Are you sure it's okay?
**[18:07] ---**
I had my first sword made for me.
**[18:11] ---**
You can't go wrong with Mogrim,
**[18:14] ---**
even if he is irresponsible.
**[18:16] ---**
Who ya callin' irresponsible?!
**[18:17] ---**
Is this the little lad who wants a shotel?
**[18:20] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[18:21] ---**
I'll help you pick one out.
**[18:23] ---**
I know a thing or two about shotels.
**[18:28] ---**
At last, the time is here!
**[18:30] ---**
What the...?
**[18:31] ---**
Come fight alongside us!
**[18:34] ---**
--Strange things are afoot here in Zoltan.
**[18:36] ---**
--The townguard is definitely
harboring that brat Ademi!
--Strange things are afoot here in Zoltan.
**[18:40] ---**
Maya, Keith.
**[18:41] ---**
Red.
**[18:42] ---**
Looks like a protest.
**[18:44] ---**
People have been gathering
like this in Southmarsh as well.
**[18:48] ---**
I heard Bighawk is paying
people to show up.
**[18:51] ---**
The townguard's so busy with the protests,
they can't investigate the attacks.
**[18:56] ---**
It's absurd.
**[18:58] ---**
Isn't that Oliver?
**[19:00] ---**
That moron!
**[19:02] ---**
He looks so out of place.
**[19:05] ---**
I just want someone to go
on carefree adventures with.
**[19:08] ---**
Please, Red.
**[19:10] ---**
Sure.
**[19:11] ---**
I'll talk to him when he
comes by the shop.
**[19:14] ---**
Thank you.
**[19:24] ---**
That's...
**[19:25] ---**
A gargantuan demon?!
**[19:30] ---**
Tisse, go look for the previous
Demon Lord's weapon.
**[19:34] ---**
Understood.
**[19:38] ---**
What's a gargantuan demon doing here?
**[19:42] ---**
Aren't the former Demon Lord
and the Demon Lord Taraxon
**[19:45] ---**
from the same ideological faction?
**[19:51] ---**
All of demonkind have blessings
that share the same role.
**[19:56] ---**
The Almighty expects them to be evil.
**[19:59] ---**
That's how my brother sees it.
**[20:03] ---**
I find that interesting.
**[20:13] ---**
Ares, look out!
**[20:27] ---**
What is it, Mr. Crawly Wawly?
**[20:30] ---**
Okay, let's have a look.
**[20:35] ---**
Is this it?
**[20:48] ---**
Ares, watch where you're standing.
**[20:50] ---**
Huh? Oh, right.
**[20:53] ---**
I once provided cover for my brother.
**[20:56] ---**
But Theodora and I won't
be doing that for you.
**[21:00] ---**
You must protect yourself.
**[21:02] ---**
F-Forgive me.
**[21:05] ---**
It would be much easier
to cast spells if Gideon were here.
**[21:09] ---**
No, wait! This is all Danan
and Yarandrala's fault.
**[21:13] ---**
I'm back.
**[21:14] ---**
Well?
**[21:15] ---**
Did you find a weapon that could
eradicate the Demon Lord's army?
**[21:26] ---**
Wh-What in the world is that?!
**[21:31] ---**
It's an airship.
**[21:50] ---**
It's extraordinary, milady.
**[21:52] ---**
It is.
**[21:54] ---**
Is there somewhere you wish to go?
**[21:59] ---**
There is, but I mustn't...
**[22:02] ---**
...as long as I'm the Hero, that is.
**[22:07] ---**
These wings...
**[22:09] ---**
...are wasted on me.
