[00:02] RIT
    I wonder what's going on back in Zoltan.
[00:05] RED
    Tisse should send word as
    soon as the airship is found.
[00:09] RED
    I guess they're having trouble finding it.
[00:12] RIT
    Maybe we should've left a big
    arrow pointing to its location.
[00:16] RED
    Yeah.
[00:28] RUTI
    Flowers can't move, so the bees
    carry the pollen for them, huh?
[00:33] RED
    Yeah.
[00:34] RED
    The bees are just gathering
    food for themselves,
[00:38] RED
    but without them, the flowers can't bloom.
[00:41] RED
    And it's not just the flowers.
[00:42] RED
    The vegetables in this village
    only grow because of them, too.
[00:47] RUTI
    It's amazing.
[00:49] RUTI
    They're doing something for themselves,
[00:51] RUTI
    but it helps the flowers and us, too.
[00:57] KIDS
    One! Two! Three!
[01:01] KIDS
    Four!
[01:02] KIDS
    Whoa!
[01:03] KIDS
    What's wrong with you?
[01:06] RIT
    What are they doing?
[01:07] RED
    Wanna go see?
[01:08] RUTI
    Yep.
SIGN    Banished from the Hero's Party,
    I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside 2nd
SIGN    The Two Heroes
[02:40] KIDS
    One! Two! Three!
[02:45] KIDS
    Four! Five!
[02:48] RED
    Oh, so they're training in a group.
[02:49] KIDS
    Six! Seven!
[02:50] RIT
    Even children need to fight to
    raise their Blessing levels.
[02:52] KIDS
    Eight! Nine!
[02:55] KID1
    Oh, hello, Mister Red!
[02:58] RED
    Hey, there.
[02:59] KID2
    You're the doctor who
    helped Miss Kate, right?
[03:04] RED
    Nah, I'm no doctor. I just run an apothecary.
[03:08] KID3
    My dad called you a great guy!
[03:10] KID4
    You must be a wizard.
[03:12] RUTI
    You're a hit with the kids, Big Brother.
[03:14] RED
    I feel like this is greatly exaggerated.
[03:16] RIT
    I can supervise your training if you want.
[03:19] KID1
    Really? Yay!
[03:20] KIDS
    Heck yeah!
[03:23] KIDS
    One! Two! Three!
[03:27] RIT
    Keep your center of gravity low.
[03:28] KIDS
    Four! Five! Six!
[03:29] KID3
    Like this?
[03:30] RIT
    Yeah, that's the way.
[03:32] RUTI
    Rit is so good at breaking the ice.
[03:33] KIDS
    Seven! Eight!
[03:35] RED
    She sure is.
[03:37] KID4
    One!
[03:38] KID4
    Two! Three!
[03:40] RED
    You've got the basics down pat.
[03:42] KIDS
    Four! Five!
[03:43] RED
    You should move on to training
    with your Blessing in mind.
[03:45] KIDS
    Six! Seven!
[03:46] KID4
    My Blessing?
[03:48] RED
    Yeah.
[03:49] RED
    You've got the Gladiator Blessing, right?
[03:52] RED
    It's a powerful Blessing that
    produces the very best adventurers.
[03:55] KID4
    Wow! How did you know?
[03:57] RED
    Well, I did study a lot.
[04:00] KID4
    You really are a wizard!
[04:02] KID4
    How exactly do I train
    with my Blessing in mind?
[04:05] RED
    Yeah, well...
[04:06] KID3
    Lucky him! Teach me, too!
[04:08] RED
    Okay, okay. But wait your turn.
[04:10] VILLAGER1
    There you are, Red!
[04:13] VILLAGER1
    Please head back to your cottage at once.
[04:15] VILLAGER1
    An ogre king has been
    spotted near the village.
[04:18] RED
    An ogre king?
[04:20] VILLAGER1
    Yes.
[04:21] VILLAGER1
    They almost never enter the village itself,
[04:24] VILLAGER1
    but a man who lived on the outskirts
    was once attacked in the past.
[04:28] VILLAGER1
    We'll be going out to patrol now.
[04:31] VILLAGER1
    Please stay inside until
    we can confirm it's safe.
[04:34] VILLAGER1
    You kids run home, too.
[04:37] KIDS
    What...
[04:39] RED
    Do you want me to go check things out?
[04:41] VILLAGER1
    O-Oh, no. I couldn't ask that of you.
[04:44] RED
    Believe it or not,
     I can fight when I need to.
[04:57] RUTI
    We're pretty strong.
[05:00] RUTI
    Do you understand now?
[05:01] KID1
    You're awesome, miss!
[05:04] KID2
    How'd you do that?!
[05:05] KID3
    Teach me how!
[05:06] KIDS
    Whoa!
[05:08] KIDS
    That's cool!
[05:09] KIDS
    I wanna try it, too!
[05:15] RIT
    We're not finding any signs
    of an ogre king's presence.
[05:18] RED
    Yeah. Maybe someone
    misunderstood what they saw.
[05:21] RED
    Sorry for dragging you two out.
    I just really wanted to help.
[05:25] RIT
    I get it. Kids are great, huh?
[05:27] RIT
    I would like to take ours on a walk someday.
[05:29] RED
    Sounds good.
[05:31] RUTI
    Big Brother, Rit, their kids, and me...
[05:34] RUTI
    That sounds fun.
[05:37] RIT
    Red.
[05:38] RED
    Find something?
[05:40] RIT
    Take a look.
[05:46] RUTI
    The grass is all crumpled.
[05:48] RED
    Tracks?
[05:50] RIT
    Yeah. But it's choosing to walk on grass and
    stuff in order to avoid leaving footprints.
[05:55] RIT
    What kind of ogre king is this intelligent?
[06:05] RED
    Okay, so we've got some bad news.
[06:09] RIT
    There are at least 30 of them.
[06:11] RIT
    They seem to be scouting the village.
[06:13] VILLAGER2
    Scouting? Are ogre kings
    really capable of that?
[06:17] RIT
    Yeah... These don't seem
    to be ordinary ogre kings.
[06:21] RED
    Rit and I will get rid of them.
[06:24] RED
    Everyone, please gather the rest of the
    villagers and get to a safe place.
[06:30] RUTI
    I'll keep you safe.
[06:33] VILLAGER1
    Now that's reassuring! Thank you!
[06:37] VILLAGER2
    Red, Rit, you two be careful, too.
[06:39] RED
    R-Right.
[06:43] KID1
    You're really strong, miss.
[06:46] KID2
    You've got the champion's Blessing, right?
[06:49] RUTI
    I won't answer that.
[06:51] RUTI
    But my Blessing has nothing to do with it.
[06:54] RUTI
    I'm protecting you all because I want to.
[06:59] RUTI
    I don't let my Blessing tell me what to do.
[07:03] RUTI
    I act of my own free will.
[07:11] YARANDRALA
    Welcome.
[07:13] TISSE
    Hello.
[07:14] YARANDRALA
    How are things looking?
[07:16] TISSE
    Nothing to report yet.
[07:18] TISSE
    But that Hero is far too unlike Miss Ruti.
[07:23] YARANDRALA
    How so?
[07:25] TISSE
    Back when Miss Ruti was a Hero,
[07:28] TISSE
    her Blessing suppressed all her emotions.
[07:33] TISSE
    But Van the Hero is very expressive.
[07:36] TISSE
    And that makes me anxious.
[07:39] YARANDRALA
    About what?
[07:40] TISSE
    Well, I don't know if handing over
    the airship is such a good idea.
[07:44] YARANDRALA
    Huh...
[07:46] TISSE
    I'll continue to keep an eye on Van the
    Hero to see what kind of person he is.
[07:52] YARANDRALA
    Got it. But be careful.
[07:55] TISSE
    I will.
[07:56] TISSE
    How are things here?
[07:59] TISSE
    Are you having any trouble
    running the apothecary?
[08:02] YARANDRALA
    Well, that part's been fine.
[08:07] YARANDRALA
    Thing is, the plants have been acting
    strange ever since Van the Hero arrived.
[08:12] YARANDRALA
    They're all scared of some terrifying
    disaster that is drawing closer.
[08:17] TISSE
    Is this about Van the Hero?
[08:20] YARANDRALA
    No.
[08:24] YARANDRALA
    It appears something more nebulous
    has entered Zoltan with him.
[08:32] TOWNSFOLK1
    So that's Van the Hero.
[08:34] TOWNSFOLK2
    How nice of him to come all the way out here.
[08:36] TOWNSFOLK3
    We're so lucky!
[08:41] LAVENDER
    Yet another crowd of humans.
[08:44] LAVENDER
    They're such a nuisance.
[08:46] LAVENDER
    Boo!
[08:47] ESTA
    Stop it, Lavender.
[08:49] ESTA
    It's only natural for the people
    to take an interest in the Hero.
[08:52] LAVENDER
    Hmph! Nobody asked you, Esta!
[08:54] LAVENDER
    Anyway, what are we doing, Van? Sightseeing?
[08:57] VAN
    No.
[08:58] VAN
    As a Hero, I have to act according
    to the Almighty Demis's wishes.
[09:03] LAVENDER
    And what exactly does Demis want?
[09:06] VAN
    That's what I'm trying to figure out.
[09:10] TOWNKID1
    Eero!
[09:15] TANTA
    M-My apologies!
[09:17] TANTA
    You're bothering the Hero by
    clinging to him like that.
[09:22] ESTA
    Van.
[09:24] VAN
    Hello.
[09:27] TANTA
    Thank you.
[09:29] TOWNKID2
    Lucky him.
[09:31] TOWNKID3
    I wanna talk to the Hero, too.
[09:34] TOWNKID5
    Me, too!
[09:36] TANTA
    These are all children living at the church.
[09:39] VAN
    At the church?
[09:41] TANTA
    Yes. And I help take care of them.
[09:44] TANTA
    I know it's forward of me to ask,
[09:46] TANTA
    but could you talk to these kids for a bit?
[09:50] ESTA
    Sorry, but we're...
[09:52] VAN
    I don't mind.
[09:53] LAVENDER
    What?!
[09:55] ESTA
    Are you sure, Van?
[09:56] VAN
    Yes. As long as it doesn't take too long.
[09:59] TANTA
    Th-Thank you so much.
[10:04] PRIEST
    Thank you for granting the children's wish.
[10:08] PRIEST
    You are too kind.
[10:11] VAN
    I heard that these children live here.
[10:15] PRIEST
    That's right.
[10:16] PRIEST
    Children separated from their parents for
    various reasons have a new home here.
[10:22] PRIEST
    The former mayor Mistorm and
    I support their lives here.
[10:26] MISTORM
    Welcome, Sir Hero.
[10:28] MISTORM
    I extend my deepest gratitude to you, too.
[10:32] VAN
    I would also like to offer my help to
    make these kids' lives a little better.
[10:37] MISTORM
    Thank you.
[10:38] MISTORM
    Tanta, show them to the rooms, would you?
[10:42] TANTA
    Sure.
[10:43] TANTA
    This way, please.
[10:45] TOWNKID2
    Hero, tell us about your adventures!
[10:48] TOWNKID3
    I wanna know, too!
[10:49] TOWNKID4
    Same!
[10:50] TOWNKID5
    Me, too!
[10:52] VAN
    Sure.
[10:52] TOWNKIDS
    Yay!
[10:54] LAVENDER
    Hey! Keep your paws off Van!
[10:59] MISTORM
    I haven't seen the children
    that happy for a while.
[11:04] MISTORM
    The Hero is a very kind boy.
[11:07] ESTA
    If only he were like that all the time.
[11:10] ESTA
    You've heard what happened
    at the welcoming party, yes?
[11:13] MISTORM
    Bits and pieces, I suppose.
[11:15] ESTA
    That was rude to everyone there.
[11:18] ESTA
    Please allow me to apologize.
[11:21] ESTA
    Van is an innocent boy.
[11:23] ESTA
    And that innocence has unfortunately
    made him blind to people.
[11:26] ESTA
    Or so I thought.
[11:28] MISTORM
    But he seems to be gentle with children.
[11:31] ESTA
    Indeed.
[11:36] TOWNKID2
    So, what kind of places have you been to?
[11:40] TOWNKID3
    Have you fought any scary monsters?
[11:43] VAN
    Yeah.
[11:44] VAN
    I've been to various places
    and fought all kinds of foes.
[11:48] VAN
    My last battle was against an evil dragon.
[11:50] TOWNKID3
    What? You fought a dragon?!
[11:52] TOWNKID4
    Weren't you scared?
[11:54] VAN
    A Hero fears nothing.
[11:58] VAN
    No matter how formidable the foe,
    no matter how dire the situation,
[12:02] VAN
    it's a Hero's job to fight
    valiantly and never give up.
[12:06] TOWNKID4
    I want to go on adventures with you!
[12:08] LAVENDER
    Huh? There's no way!
[12:11] VAN
    Have any of you awakened your Blessing yet?
[12:16] VAN
    I see.
[12:18] VAN
    You can't decide how to live your life
    until you know what Blessing you have.
[12:23] TOWNKID3
    What? But Tanta's decided already.
[12:25] TOWNKID2
    He's gonna be a carpenter!
[12:28] VAN
    Is that so?
[12:30] TANTA
    Yes. I hope I receive a
    Blessing that helps with work.
[12:35] VAN
    That is for Lord Demis to decide.
[12:38] VAN
    You may even receive a Blessing
    that can make you a champion.
[12:42] TANTA
    Me? A champion?
[12:44] TANTA
    I'd never thought about that.
[12:48] TANTA
    But even if I did receive such a Blessing,
[12:50] TANTA
    I'd still want to be a carpenter.
[12:53] TANTA
    I want to build comfortable,
    safe homes and bring joy to all!
[12:58] VAN
    Joy?
[12:59] TANTA
    Yes!
[13:01] TANTA
    You eat with your family, take a relaxing bath,
    and sleep in a comfortable bed.
[13:06] TANTA
    Those are the greatest joys
    in life, don't you think?
[13:09] VAN
    That's wrong.
[13:10] VAN
    What you're talking about isn't joy.
[13:14] VAN
    It's decadence.
[13:15] TANTA
    D-Decadence?
[13:19] VAN
    True joy is only obtained by living
    in accordance with your Blessing.
[13:23] VAN
    Such is the will of Lord Demis,
    the almighty creator.
[13:32] VAN
    I see now.
[13:36] VAN
    Talking with you helped me understand.
[13:39] VAN
    I know now what I must do,
[13:41] VAN
    and that's change the mindset
    of the people in Zoltan.
[13:44] VAN
    That is my duty as the Hero.
[13:49] RIT
    They're really good at covering their tracks.
[13:53] RIT
    These are no ordinary ogre kings.
[13:55] RED
    Yeah, we'll have to stay on our toes.
[13:58] RED
    But if we can't deal with them,
    Zoltan will hear about it.
[14:03] RED
    And then the Hero, who is incapable
    of ignoring people in need,
[14:06] RED
    will likely come to this village.
[14:08] RIT
    That would be bad.
[14:17] RED
    I smell beasts. They're close.
[14:19] RIT
    Yeah.
[14:27] RED
    We can beat them no problem.
[14:29] RED
    But that one certainly felt unusual.
[14:32] RIT
    Yeah. I've never seen an
    ogre king use a weapon before.
[14:36] RIT
    Red, there are more of them.
[14:39] RED
    Right. Let's do this.
[14:40] RIT
    Yeah!
[14:52] RIT
    They're using martial arts?!
[14:54] RED
    Must be the Divine Blessing
    of the Martial Artist!
[14:58] RED
    Magic?!
[15:10] RED
    And that was the Divine Blessing of the Mage.
[15:13] RIT
    I've never seen an ogre king like that!
[15:15] RED
    They have multiple Blessings.
[15:18] RIT
    That's just crazy.
[15:20] RED
    But it's the only explanation.
[15:36] RED
    I hope that was the last of them.
[15:38] RIT
    Phew. Mission complete.
[15:42] RED
    Huh...
[15:44] RED
    Is this a piece of ancient elven ruins?
[15:54] RIT
    Red, what is that?
[15:57] RED
    I don't know what it says,
    but that's ancient elven writing.
[16:01] RIT
    Are you sure?
[16:03] RED
    Yeah. I've seen it before, somewhere.
[16:06] RIT
    You know, you said they
    had multiple Blessings.
[16:11] RIT
    You know what else did? The gem beast.
[16:19] RED
    Maybe the beast was linked to
    ancient elves somehow, too.
[16:26] TOWNKID2
    Thank you, Sir Hero!
[16:28] TOWNKID1
    Bye-bye!
[16:29] VAN
    Sure.
[16:30] TOWNKIDS
    Bye-bye!
[16:31] TOWNKIDS
    That was fun!
[16:33] ESTA
    We'll take our leave now.
[16:35] MISTORM
    Before you go, Esta...
[16:37] ESTA
    Yes?
[16:38] MISTORM
    I've heard that all Heroes have a Guide.
[16:42] MISTORM
    Please stay beside the Hero and
    lead him down the right path.
[16:55] ESTA
    Sorry I made you wait.
[16:56] VAN
    It's fine.
[16:57] ESTA
    I'm relieved, honestly.
[17:00] VAN
    By what?
[17:01] ESTA
    You used to act like you wanted
    nothing to do with people.
[17:05] ESTA
    But today, you interacted with the children
    without once complaining about it.
[17:11] VAN
    Oh. Those kids haven't
    awakened their Blessings yet.
[17:15] VAN
    And kids should be protected until
    they do and understand their roles.
[17:22] ESTA
    Is that what your Hero's
    Blessing is telling you?
[17:25] ESTA
    Or is that how you feel?
[17:28] VAN
    My feelings are always aligned with
    my Blessing and Lord Demis's will.
[17:33] VAN
    That's what makes a Hero.
[17:36] ESTA
    Is that so?
[17:37] LJUBO
    There you are, Van.
[17:40] LJUBO
    Just who I wanted to see.
    We know where we're headed to next.
[17:44] LJUBO
    She will take us there.
[17:46] TISSE
    I'm Tisse Garland.
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[17:49] LJUBO
    She comes with the recommendation
    of the Adventurers' Guild's brass.
[17:52] LJUBO
    They say she's one of the very
    top adventurers in all Zoltan.
[17:56] ESTA
    I am Escarlata Dias. It's nice to meet you.
[18:00] VAN
    And I'm Van—
[18:00] LAVENDER
    Wait a second.
[18:02] LAVENDER
    You were watching us the
    other night, weren't you?
[18:05] TISSE
    That's right. I was working
    a second job that night.
[18:08] LAVENDER
    One of the very top adventurers
    has a second job?
[18:11] TISSE
    I'm saving up to go on a hot springs trip.
[18:13] LAVENDER
    Hot springs?
[18:14] TISSE
    Right.
[18:15] TISSE
    Have you heard of the Camillo hot springs?
[18:17] TISSE
    It's one of the top three
    hot spring resorts in Avalon,
[18:20] TISSE
    famous for its heat retention that
    keeps it hot from spring to winter.
[18:26] TISSE
    It cures shoulder and back pain,
    and also poor circulation in an instant,
[18:30] TISSE
    and is so popular that prices
    in nearby inns have skyrocketed.
[18:33] TISSE
    You could build a house in Zoltan with the
    money it costs to stay one night there.
[18:40] TISSE
    By the way, it's located here.
[18:42] LAVENDER
    You don't say?
[18:45] LAVENDER
    Whatever.
[18:46] LAVENDER
    Who spends money on hot water?
[18:49] LAVENDER
    Humans do the stupidest things.
[18:53] LAVENDER
    Hmph!
[18:56] RED
    The villagers shared this with us as thanks.
[18:59] RIT
    Wow!
[19:00] RIT
    This should last us three days!
[19:02] RUTI
    Curry every day. I love it.
[19:05] RED
    So, do you want to have dinner right away?
[19:07] RIT
    Hmm... I want to take a bath first.
[19:12] RIT
    I'm all sticky and gross.
[19:14] RED
    I'll get the bath ready, then. You two relax.
[19:19] RUTI
    No.
[19:20] RED
    Ruti?
[19:21] RUTI
    You need to rest tonight.
[19:24] RED
    Nah, I'm still fine.
[19:27] RUTI
    You worked hard today,
    so I want to do something for you.
[19:31] RED
    Gotcha. Thanks, Ruti.
[19:34] RUTI
    I want to do something for you, too, Rit.
    Let's take a bath together.
[19:39] RIT
    Huh?
[19:50] RUTI
    Okay. Let's do the front next.
[19:52] RIT
    What?!
[19:54] RIT
    Y-You don't mean...
[20:00] RUTI
    Here I go.
[20:09] RUTI
    Wait...
[20:11] RUTI
    How do I do the front, again?
[20:13] RIT
    I'll do it myself!
[20:16] RUTI
    You two always do so much for me,
    so I wanted to show my appreciation.
[20:21] RUTI
    And there's something
    I haven't said to you yet.
[20:25] RIT
    What's that?
[20:29] RUTI
    Congratulations on your engagement.
[20:33] RUTI
    Big Brother never had a
    moment's peace on our travels.
[20:37] RUTI
    But it's different now.
[20:40] RUTI
    He looks really happy with you.
[20:44] RIT
    Ruti...
[20:46] RIT
    Yeah, I couldn't be happier myself.
[20:50] RUTI
    Marrying you will make him even happier.
[20:54] RUTI
    And that will make me all the more happy.
[21:00] RIT
    Ruti!
[21:04] RIT
    Listen, Ruti...
[21:07] RIT
    You've had to bear such a
    heavy burden for so long.
[21:11] RIT
    But it's not just Red anymore.
[21:14] RIT
    I'm on your side, too.
[21:16] RUTI
    Rit...
[21:21] RUTI
    Thanks.
[21:34] RED
    Sounds like Van's heading out to
    take out Dantak the hill giant.
[21:38] RED
    Tisse will be going with
    him to show him the way.
[21:41] RIT
    Tisse?
[21:43] RED
    Yeah. I'm sure she'll be fine,
[21:46] RED
    but if Van finds out she's hiding her
    identity from him, he may consider her an enemy.
[21:52] RIT
    Tisse may be strong, but even
    she'd be in danger then.
[21:56] RUTI
    Mr. Crawly Wawly.
[21:58] RUTI
    If Tisse's in trouble, come to me.
[22:02] RUTI
    Be it the Church or the Hero,
[22:05] RUTI
    I'm not letting anyone hurt my best friend.
