[00:03] VAN
    Dantak, you are the last hill giant standing.
[00:07] DANTAK
    Why do this?!
[00:10] VAN
    Because of your sloth.
[00:12] DANTAK
    Sloth?
[00:14] VAN
    Monsters refusing to kill people
    and hiding out in their castle?
[00:20] VAN
    That defies Lord Demis's teachings.
[00:22] DANTAK
    Who are you?
[00:26] VAN
    Van the Hero, slayer of evil.
[00:30] DANTAK
    "Hero"?
[00:32] DANTAK
    Like some crazy kid—
[00:40] VAN
    The evil has been dispatched.
[00:41] LAVENDER
    Squee! You're the best, Van!
[00:44] TISSE
    This guy is nuts.
SIGN    Banished from the Hero's Party,
    I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside 2nd
SIGN    All for Blessings and Faith
[02:28] TISSE
    That smells good, Esta.
[02:32] ESTA
    Why don't you join me for supper?
[02:34] TISSE
    Where are the others?
[02:36] ESTA
    Van and Lavender went to hunt down monsters.
[02:39] ESTA
    Cardinal Ljubo is out like a light.
[02:43] TISSE
    Then don't mind if I do.
[02:51] THEODORA
    We used to sit around campfires
    like this all the time, huh?
[02:55] TISSE
    We did.
[02:56] TISSE
    What has changed is that you never
    used to cook, Miss Theodora.
[03:02] THEODORA
    I picked up a cooking skill.
[03:04] THEODORA
    It's pretty enjoyable.
[03:07] TISSE
    Following in Red's footsteps?
[03:10] THEODORA
    I am.
[03:11] THEODORA
    I wish to be like him.
[03:13] THEODORA
    Not only in cooking, but also in
    supporting and guiding a Hero.
[03:18] THEODORA
    However, all I'm learning these
    days is how lacking I truly am.
[03:22] TISSE
    I would say that's more
    an issue with your Hero.
[03:26] TISSE
    Albert was worried about you, too.
[03:30] THEODORA
    Albert... I have caused him untold trouble.
[03:34] TISSE
    But he spoke about you with so much pride.
[03:40] TISSE
    I think he is happy getting
    to work alongside you.
[03:43] THEODORA
    What? Did he really?
[03:46] TISSE
    Yes.
[03:47] TISSE
    He also seemed to miss you very much.
[03:51] THEODORA
    What?
[03:52] THEODORA
    He... misses me?!
[03:57] THEODORA
    I-Is that so?
[04:00] THEODORA
    I miss him myself.
[04:02] THEODORA
    If afforded the chance,
    I would like to see him soon.
[04:06] THEODORA
    Wait, I mean...
[04:08] THEODORA
    What am I even saying?
[04:10] THEODORA
    Please do not misunderstand.
[04:12] THEODORA
    I merely wish to see a good friend again.
[04:18] ESTA
    A-Anyway, you see how it is now.
[04:21] ESTA
    Oh, I feel thirsty all of a sudden.
[04:24] ESTA
    Let me go get some water.
[04:30] TISSE
    Someone's in love!
[04:36] PROPRIETRESS
    Have some freshly made,
    village specialty curry buns!
[04:40] PROPRIETRESS
    Eat as much as you like!
[04:43] PROPRIETRESS
    Don't hold back, now.
[04:47] RUTI
    Curry for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
[04:49] RED
    Shh!
[04:52] RIT
    Oh, I love this aroma and
    the rich spicy flavor!
[04:58] RED
    Fried bread. Talk about indulgence.
[05:03] RUTI
    The filling's curry.
[05:04] RED
    Well, it is curry bread.
[05:06] VILLAGEGIRL1
    Wow!
[05:07] VILLAGEGIRL2
    Look, look!
[05:09] VILLAGEGIRL1
    That's amazing.
[05:10] VILLAGEGIRL2
    Where are they going?
[05:13] VILLAGEROLD
    It's not every day the pegasi
    fly over our village.
[05:17] PROPRIETRESS
    Rare? I don't think I've ever seen it happen.
[05:21] RIT
    It's like they're trying to escape.
[05:27] RUTI
    Something's approaching.
[05:37] ESTA
    The Fairy King's shield.
[05:39] ESTA
    It allows its wielder to
    use mind control magic.
[05:45] ESTA
    I trust you understand how dangerous that is.
[05:48] LAVENDER
    Another lecture?
[05:50] LAVENDER
    You're such a nag.
[05:53] VAN
    That depends on how it's used.
[05:55] VAN
    Used correctly, it can guide
    evildoers onto a path of faith.
[06:01] ESTA
    Forcing someone to pray
    won't make them a believer.
[06:05] ESTA
    That thing needs to be sealed away.
[06:07] LAVENDER
    That shield is Van's.
[06:09] LAVENDER
    How he uses it is none of your business.
[06:18] MISTORM
    We're only here to hand over the airship to
    the Hero, and yet they're ready to party.
[06:23] MISTORM
    I have a bad feeling about this.
[06:25] TORNED
    Surely there won't be an issue this time.
[06:28] TORNED
    This is what the Hero wants most, after all.
[06:34] MOGRIM
    Right, that should do it.
[06:36] MIDO
    Mogrim.
[06:37] MIDO
    How's the wife?
[06:39] MOGRIM
    I keep telling her to rest,
    but she just won't listen to me.
[06:44] MOGRIM
    I'm so nervous all the time.
[06:46] NEWMAN
    Well, it's still early.
[06:48] NEWMAN
    But you need to be there for her and
    make sure she doesn't overexert herself.
[06:53] MOGRIM
    Oh, I intend to do just that!
[07:02] STORMTHUNDER
    So, how's the new business going?
[07:05] GODWIN
    It's starting to turn a profit.
[07:08] GODWIN
    The fragrant mushrooms from the Zoog Forest
[07:11] GODWIN
    are in pretty high demand around these parts.
[07:13] STORMTHUNDER
    Ooh, you're gonna be rich!
[07:15] GONZ
    Take us out to dinner sometime.
[07:17] GODWIN
    Wha? Why would I have to
    wine and dine you idiots?
[07:21] GODWIN
    You guys buy me something!
[07:22] GONZ
    C'mon, what's the big deal?
[07:26] GONZ
    Be a man!
[07:27] GODWIN
    Shaddup!
[07:29] GODWIN
    You fools!
[07:30] GONZ
    Takes one to know one!
[07:30] NAO
    Hey, you guys!
[07:32] NAO
    Behave! Look how good the kids are being!
[07:36] MEGRIA
    Hello.
[07:38] MEGRIA
    Can I have one?
[07:41] TOWNKID5
    The Hero's gonna love this!
[07:44] TANTA
    Yeah, he is.
[07:45] (Flashback) VAN
    That's wrong.
[07:47] (Flashback) VAN
    What you're talking about isn't joy.
[07:50] (Flashback) VAN
    It's decadence.
[07:54] GUY
    The Hero has returned!
[07:59] LJUBO
    So you've found the airship at long last.
[08:03] PRIEST
    Indeed.
[08:04] TORNED
    Now please raise a toast
    at the celebratory party.
[08:09] GIRL
    Sir Hero!
[08:10] GUY
    Congratulations!
[08:13] VAN
    Not again.
[08:14] VAN
    A party is wholly unnecessary.
[08:18] ESTA
    Mayor, we appreciate the sentiment,
[08:21] ESTA
    but we must refrain from taking part
    as we have prior commitments.
[08:26] TORNED
    I understand.
[08:28] TORNED
    We failed to take the
    Hero's duties into account.
[08:31] TORNED
    Please excuse our thoughtlessness.
[08:33] TORNED
    We pray to Lord Demis that you
    may find success in your travels.
[08:38] VAN
    Prayers from heretics won't
    reach the Almighty's ears.
[08:51] LJUBO
    Van, that was inappropriate.
[08:54] LJUBO
    Take it back and apologize.
[08:57] VAN
    No, I don't believe I need to.
[09:00] VAN
    I am the Hero, and I've
    undergone training as a monk.
[09:03] VAN
    One of my tasks is to guide
    heretics onto the right path.
[09:07] TISSE
    What's he talking about?
[09:10] TISSE
    The Divine Blessings show that
    everyone worships Lord Demis.
[09:15] TISSE
    Yet he calls us heretics?
[09:21] TISSE
    My tummy hurts.
[09:24] GALATINE
    Sir Hero, you realize
     you're being highly insulting?
[09:28] PRIEST
    What makes you say that we're heretics?
[09:31] VAN
    The fact that you're living
    pointless, indolent lives here.
[09:35] VAN
    As the scriptures state,
[09:37] VAN
    sloth is a mortal sin, one that goes against
    the roles given to us by the Almighty.
[09:41] VAN
    You people need to repent and mend your ways.
[09:45] VAN
    What you have to do is clear.
[09:51] VAN
    You will fight the demon lord's army with me!
[09:54] GUY
    The demon lord's army?
[09:56] GIRL
    Us? Fight?
[09:58] VAN
    It is your sacred duty to
    fight alongside the Hero!
[10:03] TORNED
    We have our land to protect,
    and our lives to consider.
[10:07] VAN
    Cast it aside.
[10:09] VAN
    This remote land is not worth anything.
[10:14] TISSE
    Uh oh.
[10:17] TORNED
    Our grandparents put their lives
    on the line to develop Zoltan!
[10:22] TORNED
    And you call it worthless?
[10:24] TORNED
    Even if you are the Hero,
    I must say that is beyond rude!
[10:28] VAN
    Rude?
[10:30] VAN
    Etiquette is but norms created by people.
[10:32] VAN
    I am talking about the divine.
[10:43] VAN
    Why are they like this?
[10:45] TISSE
    They all love Zoltan very much.
[10:50] TISSE
    They cherish their peaceful lives here.
[10:57] VAN
    Ridiculous.
[11:01] MISTORM
    What are you thinking?
[11:02] ESTA
    Stop it.
[11:04] LAVENDER
    You will not get in Van's way.
[11:06] ESTA
    Move! What Van's about to do
    is not the least bit heroic!
[11:11] LAVENDER
    I agree. But so what?
[11:14] LAVENDER
    In my eyes, everything Van does is right.
[11:25] MISTORM
    This magic... Could it be?
[11:31] ESTA
    Cardinal Ljubo!
[11:35] LJUBO
    Failure will help Van learn.
[11:38] LJUBO
    And the deaths of a few hicks won't hurt
    the Hero's reputation in the least.
[11:46] LAVENDER
    You stay put, too, Tisse.
[11:49] LAVENDER
    Try to stop Van, and I'll kill you.
[11:54] VAN
    This is the Fairy King's shield.
[11:58] VAN
    It has the power to guide you to
    the correct path and save you.
[12:03] VAN
    You ignore the Hero's offer
    and choose a life of peace?
[12:06] VAN
    Lord Demis will not stand for it!
[12:08] VAN
    Now, let us fight the demon
    lord's army together!
[12:15] YARANDRALA
    Thorn Bind!
[12:18] VAN
    What?
[12:21] YARANDRALA
    Van the Hero... You're taking this too far.
[12:24] VAN
    Who are you?!
[12:26] YARANDRALA
    Just a friendly high elf residing in Zoltan.
[12:31] YARANDRALA
    What kind of hero uses mind control magic?
[12:34] YARANDRALA
    You're more like a villain.
[12:36] VAN
    You dare call the Hero a villain?
[12:38] VAN
    You have no right to talk
    about right and wrong.
[12:44] VAN
    I am Van the Hero,
[12:46] VAN
    slayer of evil!
[12:49] YARANDRALA
    Stinger Weeds!
[13:04] TANTA
    Let's get away from here!
[13:04] MEGRIA
    Hurry, everyone!
[13:16] DANAN
    Martial Art:
[13:18] DANAN
    Destructive Comet Kick!
[13:27] DANAN
    Phew, close shave.
[13:29] YARANDRALA
    Danan.
[13:30] DANAN
    You can't take the Hero on alone.
    I'll pitch in.
[13:34] YARANDRALA
    Just know what you're getting into.
[13:36] DANAN
    It's pretty obvious.
[13:38] YARANDRALA
    Why isn't he healing himself?
[13:40] YARANDRALA
    If he's the Hero, he can use Healing Hands.
[13:42] DANAN
    Who knows?
[13:44] YARANDRALA
    His body may be superhuman,
    but he should still feel pain.
[13:48] VAN
    Two great evils!
[13:51] VAN
    But I am the Hero.
[13:52] VAN
    I will not succumb to evil!
[13:54] DANAN
    I see now. It's the faith in his
    Blessing that keeps him going.
[14:00] DANAN
    Time to kick his butt and
    take him down a peg.
[14:04] VAN
    Lord Demis, I present
    to you the Hero's fight.
[14:10] DANAN
    Martial Art: Fierce Tiger Claws!
[14:14] VAN
    Martial Art: Holy Blade.
[14:24] YARANDRALA
    Let me help.
[14:37] VAN
    It hurts...
[14:39] VAN
    But... a Hero must not yield.
[14:43] VAN
    Healing Hands Mastery...
[14:45] VAN
    Reflection.
[14:50] DANAN
    Ow.
[14:52] VAN
    Amazing.
[14:53] VAN
    That hurt me quite a bit,
    but it's not affecting you at all.
[14:57] VAN
    You are a worthy opponent for the Hero.
[15:00] YARANDRALA
    Are you okay?
[15:02] DANAN
    You transferred the wound over to me?
[15:05] DANAN
    Not a very heroic skill.
[15:07] VAN
    It's a skill that allows me to
    heal using my opponent's vitality.
[15:12] VAN
    With this skill, I can turn
    any dire situation around.
[15:16] VAN
    No matter how great the evil,
    the Hero will not give in.
[15:20] DANAN
    What kind of hero passes
    his pain off to others?!
[15:26] VAN
    It is the almighty Lord Demis
    who made me Hero.
[15:31] VAN
    You reject the Almighty's will.
[15:34] VAN
    There is no greater heresy.
SIGN    You are the man who killed our brethren and stole our treasure.
SIGN    The time has come for you to taste our wrath and vengeance!
[15:54] VAN
    Curse those evil dragons.
[15:56] VAN
    Have they come to take my shield?
[16:02] YARANDRALA
    Great spirit of the mighty tree!
[16:14] YARANDRALA
    The salt dragons are a
    bad match for my powers.
[16:18] DANAN
    They're gonna destroy the town!
[16:20] YARANDRALA
    Yes, I know!
[16:22] VAN
    You're mine!
[16:23] DANAN
    You punk!
[16:25] YARANDRALA
    Great spirit of the mighty tree!
[16:30] VAN
    That's a shame.
[16:31] DANAN
    If you're really a hero, you should
    be thinking of saving people!
[16:36] VAN
    This must be Lord Demis's will.
[16:38] VAN
    If the salt dragons destroy this land,
[16:42] VAN
    even the lazy Zoltanians
    will join the war, surely?
[16:47] DANAN
    Okay, enough of your crap.
[16:50] DANAN
    You're going down first!
[16:56] VAN
    Healing Hands Mastery...
[16:58] VAN
    Reflection.
[17:09] RED
    Kept you waiting, huh?
[17:11] YARANDRALA
    Red!
[17:12] DANAN
    What're you doing here?
[17:19] VAN
    What are you doing?
[17:25] VAN
    Why, you!
[17:48] RED
    Here come the salt dragons.
[17:50] RED
    Van will follow soon, probably.
[17:53] RED
    Thanks, Mr. Crawly Wawly.
[17:56] RED
    Without your threads,
    I never would've made it in time.
[18:02] RED
    Now I need to make sure his
    efforts don't go to waste.
[18:10] RED
    Hear me out!
SIGN    Immense bloodlust...
[18:21] RED
    It's the Hero.
[18:23] RED
    Listen to me.
[18:25] RED
    I ran here so I could return this to you.
[18:29] RED
    It was yours to begin with, right?
SIGN    Indeed. The former demon lord entrusted us with that treasure.
[18:37] RED
    Knew it.
[18:39] RED
    Take it back.
SIGN    Beware of that Hero.
[18:54] RED
    I appreciate the warning, but...
[18:57] VAN
    Martial Art:
[18:58] RED
    It's too late.
[18:59] VAN
    Holy Blade!
[19:06] RED
    Oh, boy. That's going to
    give travelers a hard time.
[19:11] RED
    You fail as a Hero.
[19:13] VAN
    So you're a heretic, too.
[19:15] RED
    There!
[19:18] RED
    If you can't swing your blade,
    you won't be cutting anyone down.
[19:23] VAN
    Wh-Why, you! Get away from me!
[19:26] RED
    You've worked on leveling up your Blessing,
[19:28] RED
    but not your swordsmanship.
[19:30] VAN
    Swordsmanship? A mere human technique?
[19:32] VAN
    It is nothing in the face
    of my Divine Blessing!
[19:36] RED
    Oh, so that's how you think.
[19:39] RED
    That explains why I could lure you
    out of town, away from your party.
[19:45] VAN
    If I can't use my sword,
    then I have my magic!
[19:51] RED
    Don't expect to use any magic at this range.
[19:54] VAN
    What are you buying time for?
[19:56] VAN
    The Hero can fight all night long
    and not even be short of breath!
[20:00] RED
    Oh, I don't think it'll take that long.
[20:02] RED
    You know why?
[20:06] VAN
    Who?
[20:20] VAN
    Who... was that?
[20:24] RUTI
    Not anyone important.
[20:26] RUTI
    No need to remember me tomorrow.
[20:29] RED
    Van's party will be here soon.
[20:31] RED
    We should leave before they see our faces.
[20:33] RUTI
    Yep.
[20:39] VAN
    I'm cold...
[20:41] VAN
    Oh, so I'm about to die.
[20:45] VAN
    The Hero was defeated.
[20:51] VAN
    And that's fine.
[20:53] VAN
    The Hero's job is to fight evil, not to win.
[20:59] VAN
    And I did what was asked of me.
[21:03] VAN
    But why did it have to be that girl?
[21:07] LAVENDER
    Van!
[21:08] LAVENDER
    Oh, how awful! Don't die, Van!
[21:08] VAN
    If everything proceeds
    according to Lord Demis's will,
[21:12] LJUBO
    Cast Regenerate.
[21:12] VAN
    then I must have met that
    girl for a reason...
[21:15] ESTA
    Right.
[21:22] VAN
    I see...
[21:31] VAN
    Healing Hands.
[21:39] LAVENDER
    Are you all right?!
[21:40] LAVENDER
    That must've hurt! I'm so sorry!
[21:42] LAVENDER
    I won't leave you alone ever again!
[21:47] VAN
    So this is part of my role.
[21:50] LAVENDER
    Van?
[21:52] VAN
    I will kill that girl.
[21:55] VAN
    And I will become the true Hero.
[22:02] VAN
    The Lord is come!
