[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.
