**[00:15] Arios**
Rein...
**[00:20] Arios**
You're fired.
***SIGN*** Beast Tamer
***SIGN*** Meeting of Fate
**[02:08] Rein**
*Beast Tamer.*
**[02:10] Rein**
*It's a class that is able to communicate*
**[02:13] Rein**
* and enter into contracts*
* with many kinds of animals...*
**[02:15] Rein**
*Taming their strength as your own.*
**[02:22] Rein**
*Beast Tamers aren't well-suited to combat,*
**[02:31] Rein**
* but I worked hard to support my*
* comrades during our harsh journey,*
**[02:35] Rein**
* and my comrades in the*
* Hero's party trusted me for it.*
**[02:41] Rein**
*Or... so I thought.*
**[02:48] Rein**
Um, hang on a sec.
**[02:51] Rein**
This is kind of sudden,
so I'm not sure I follow...
**[02:53] Rein**
Wait, is this a prank?
**[02:57] Arios**
Of course not.
**[02:59] Rein**
Arios...
**[03:01] Rein**
Aggath?
**[03:03] Rein**
Leane?
**[03:05] Rein**
Mina?
**[03:07] Rein**
You're... serious about this?
**[03:11] Rein**
I-I want to know why!
**[03:15] Leane**
You want a reason?
**[03:17] Leane**
You mean other than the obvious one?
**[03:19] Leane**
It's because you're useless!
**[03:22] Leane**
You don't serve any purpose!
**[03:24] Leane**
Do you get it now?
**[03:26] Leane**
You've been holding us back so much,
**[03:27] Leane**
you even being around
is more trouble than its worth!
**[03:31] Rein**
I am...?
**[03:32] Arios**
You have to have noticed, right?
**[03:34] Arios**
You never do any damage to our enemies,
**[03:36] Arios**
and we're constantly having to save you.
**[03:40] Arios**
All you really contribute
is scouting and carriage,
**[03:43] Arios**
using the animals that you've tamed.
**[03:45] Arios**
Doesn't that sound worthless to you?
**[03:49] Mina**
It was asking too much of
him in the first place.
**[03:49] Rein**
*What is this...?*
**[03:51] Aggath**
We don't have time for babysitting.
**[03:53] Aggath**
I was always against letting
a Beast Tamer join up.
**[03:57] Arios**
Don't be like that.
**[03:59] Arios**
Worthless as he is, I thought he could
shine by sharing the same spotlight as me.
**[04:04] Leane**
Arios, you are so kind!
**[04:07] Mina**
Very. The only sin here lies with this man
**[04:09] Mina**
who has wasted the grace of the Hero, Arios.
**[04:10] Rein**
* This is what my party thought*
* of me this whole time?*
**[04:15] Rein**
I... This can't—
**[04:17] Arios**
Rein...
**[04:20] Arios**
Don't lower our opinion of you
any more than you already have.
**[04:25] Arios**
And make sure to leave your gear behind.
**[04:28] Arios**
We're the ones who gathered it.
**[04:31] Aggath**
This means we can finally
take on the Lost Woods.
**[04:34] Lean**
We've waited long enough.
**[04:35] Rein**
I understand.
**[04:36] Lean**
This town is big, but there's nothing in it,
and we've been here for days.
**[04:39] Lean**
How long was he going to spend
on gathering supplies, anyway?
**[04:43] Mina**
We were mistaken to have even
the most modest hopes for him.
**[04:46] Mina**
Let us simply consider this a brief respite.
**[04:48] Arios**
Good idea!
**[04:49] Arios**
When you put it that way, maybe he
was of some use at the very end.
**[04:52] Rein**
*In that moment...*
**[04:54] Rein**
* It felt like anything between us*
* had come to a permanent end.*
**[05:19] (Flashback) Aggath**
You're weak, like a child.
**[05:23] (Flashback) Mina**
You still seem to lack both the bearing
and the skill required of the Hero's party.
**[05:28] (Flashback) Leane**
Are you ever going to be good
for anything besides running errands?
**[05:33] (Flashback) Leane**
So worthless...
**[05:34] (Flashback) Arios**
No need to be so harsh.
Rein is trying his best.
**[05:39] Arios**
*At least, for a Beast Tamer!*
**[05:42] Rein**
*I thought the reason they were so hard on me*
**[05:45] Rein**
* was because they had high hopes*
* for what I could accomplish.*
**[05:49] Rein**
*But...*
**[05:50] Rein**
* Maybe they never cared*
* about me in the first place.*
**[05:54] Rein**
But more importantly, what do I do now?
**[05:59] Rein**
No goal, no gear, and no coin.
**[06:01] Rein**
I'm starting with next to nothing.
**[06:04] Kids**
Rein!
**[06:07] Kid A**
Did you finish your job for the Hero?
**[06:09] Rein**
Uh, actually...
**[06:11] Kid C**
Do the thing then, come on!
**[06:12] Kid B**
Please!
**[06:13] Kids**
Come on, please!
**[06:15] Kids**
Do it! Go on!
**[06:16] Rein**
Okay!
**[06:20] Rein**
So, for today...
**[06:28] Rein**
There.
**[06:31] Rein**
That's the temporary contract.
**[06:34] Rein**
Go on, say hello.
**[06:37] Kids**
Wow!
**[06:39] Rein**
Nice job.
**[06:40] Rein**
And thank you.
**[06:44] Kids**
Bye-bye!
**[06:45] Kids**
See you around!
**[06:49] Kid B**
There it goes...
**[06:50] Rein**
Well, like I told you,
that contract was only temporary.
**[06:54] Rein**
They're easy to form,
but they don't last very long.
**[07:01] Rein**
Maybe that was a little hard to understand?
**[07:03] Kid A**
You really are awesome, Rein!
**[07:05] Kid A**
I wanna be a Beast Tamer when I grow up!
**[07:08] Kid C**
Me, too!
**[07:09] Kid B**
Me, too!
**[07:09] Rein**
Huh...
**[07:10] Rein**
I thought you said you wanted
to be a hero before?
**[07:12] Kid A**
I mean, the Hero and his party
always look annoyed
**[07:16] Kid A**
when commoners like us come up to them!
**[07:18] Kid A**
Even though they suck up
to rich folks and nobles...
**[07:21] Kid C**
It's kind of nasty, right?
**[07:23] Kid B**
And scary.
**[07:24] Rein**
I didn't know people thought that way
about Arios and the party.
**[07:28] Rein**
I guess that explains the reception
I got whenever I went to buy supplies.
**[07:32] Kid A**
You're different though, Rein!
**[07:34] Kid B**
You always play with us!
**[07:37] Kid C**
And you're nice!
**[07:39] Rein**
* It's gonna be even harder*
* to tell them I got fired now.*
**[07:42] Kid A**
So I'm gonna be an adventurer,
and travel all over!
**[07:45] Kid B**
And make a fortune overnight!
**[07:47] Kid C**
A fortune!
**[07:48] Kids**
A fortune overnight! A fortune overnight!
**[07:48] Rein**
An adventurer...
**[07:53] Rein**
* Living like a migratory bird on*
* the wing, free to live or die as I please.*
**[07:57] Rein**
* Making a living off my skills*
* by taking jobs as an adventurer?*
**[08:03] Rein**
* Now that I don't need to worry*
* about defeating the Demon King,*
**[08:06] Rein**
*it might be the perfect job for me.*
**[08:09] Rein**
Okay!
**[08:11] Natalie**
Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild!
**[08:14] Natalie**
I'm Natalie, the receptionist.
**[08:16] Natalie**
Let's start with an explanation
of the adventurer's trial.
**[08:19] Rein**
Could you tell me a bit more
about being an adventurer first?
**[08:23] Rein**
I hate to admit it, but I actually
don't know that much.
**[08:28] Rein**
* Arios and the others*
* looked down on adventurers,*
**[08:31] Rein**
*so we didn't interact with them much.*
**[08:34] Natalie**
You're an earnest one, aren't you?
**[08:35] Natalie**
Most of the applicants don't really
put too much thought into it...
**[08:39] Natalie**
Personally, I think you're
on the right track!
**[08:41] Rein**
You really do?
**[08:42] Natalie**
I really do!
**[08:44] Natalie**
Let's start at the beginning, then.
**[08:47] Natalie**
Adventurers, like monsters,
are assigned ranks from S to F...
**[09:00] Natalie**
...and that's everything.
**[09:01] Natalie**
Is there anything else
you had questions about?
**[09:04] Rein**
Nope. Thank you.
**[09:05] Rein**
I should be good, now.
**[09:07] Natalie**
In that case, let's move onto
the matter of the adventurer's trial.
**[09:10] Natalie**
What's your class?
**[09:13] Rein**
Beast Tamer.
**[09:15] Natalie**
Beast Tamer?!
**[09:16] Natalie**
Um... will you be okay by yourself?
**[09:20] (Flashback) Leane**
It's because you're useless!
**[09:23] Natalie**
Don't do anything reckless, okay?
**[09:25] Natalie**
Adventurers need to know
when a job is too much.
**[09:30] Rein**
Right. Of course.
**[09:36] Natalie**
Do you understand why
the guild requires a trial
**[09:39] Natalie**
in order to be registered as an adventurer?
**[09:42] Rein**
Is it because if there were
a bunch of unskilled adventurers,
**[09:45] Rein**
it'd undermine trust in the guild?
**[09:47] Natalie**
Correct! Well done!
**[09:50] Natalie**
And without that trust,
the government would get involved.
**[09:55] Natalie**
But putting that aside, the details
of the trial involve slaying ten goblins,
**[10:00] Natalie**
and collecting 20 medicinal herbs.
**[10:02] Natalie**
Adventurers take on a variety of
hunting and collection jobs,
**[10:07] Natalie**
so this is the bare minimum required
to pass muster with the guild.
**[10:20] Rein**
That's ten.
**[10:23] Rein**
Thanks for helping me find the goblins.
**[10:29] Rein**
I guess even a Beast Tamer can
handle F-ranked monsters like them.
**[10:35] Rein**
I've got the rune stones from the goblins,
**[10:37] Rein**
so I just need to gather the herbs
and head back to the guild...
**[10:41] Rein**
A scream?
**[10:42] Rein**
It's from further in the forest!
**[10:48] Rein**
A Killer Tiger?!
**[10:50] Rein**
Oh, no!
**[10:52] Rein**
*The D-ranked monster Killer Tiger.*
**[10:55] Rein**
* Even a veteran adventurer could be killed*
* by one of these if they weren't careful!*
**[11:10] Rein**
*And of course, I don't stand a chance.*
**[11:14] Rein**
*But...*
**[11:15] Rein**
*It's better this way.*
**[11:18] Rein**
Hey, you!
**[11:19] Rein**
Can you move?
**[11:21] Rein**
You need to run while you can!
**[11:28] Rein**
*No monsters to tame.*
**[11:31] Rein**
*No weapons to use.*
**[11:34] Rein**
* But I can at least buy her*
* enough time to get away...*
**[11:40] Rein**
Wh-Why are you still there?!
**[11:42] Kanade**
With the last...
**[11:45] Kanade**
Of my strength...
**[12:14] Rein**
* Wow. She took down*
* a Killer Tiger in one blow.*
**[12:18] Rein**
Just who are you?
**[12:26] Rein**
* There are beings of inexplicable power*
* in this world known as ultimate species.*
**[12:31] Rein**
*Dragonoids. Fairies. Demigods.*
**[12:35] Rein**
*They all count among the ultimate species.*
**[12:37] Rein**
*But one of them is more rare than the rest.*
**[12:41] Rein**
*And that is...*
**[12:46] Rein**
A Cat Spirit?
**[12:50] Kanade**
And... I... am... done.
**[12:54] Rein**
Hey!
**[12:57] Rein**
Hey, are you all right? Were you hurt?
**[13:00] Rein**
Say something!
**[13:02] Kanade**
So...
**[13:02] Rein**
So?
**[13:05] Kanade**
So hungry...
**[13:19] Rein**
She's... the real deal?
**[13:23] Rein**
*Despite being one of the ultimate species,*
**[13:24] Rein**
* the Cat Spirits are said to be*
* on the verge of extinction.*
**[13:28] Rein**
* They can't use magic, but they've*
* evolved to have athletic abilities*
**[13:32] Rein**
* that make them among*
* the ultimate in the world.*
**[13:36] Rein**
*And she really is one?*
**[13:40] Kanade**
Thank you so much! You're a life-saver.
**[13:42] Kanade**
I thought I was gonna die back there.
**[13:44] Rein**
I'm just glad I had some
traveling rations on me.
**[13:47] Rein**
Still, are you sure you're not exaggerating?
**[13:49] Kanade**
Not at all!
**[13:50] Kanade**
I've gone days without
anything to eat or drink.
**[13:53] Kanade**
I could see my grandparents
in heaven waving me over.
**[13:57] Rein**
*She must've been in pretty rough shape.*
**[14:00] Kanade**
That would've been another
step toward extinction.
**[14:03] Rein**
*Okay, extremely bad shape!*
**[14:04] Kanade**
Oh, I never introduced myself, did I?
**[14:07] Kanade**
My name's Kanade!
As you can see, I'm a Cat Spirit.
**[14:11] Kanade**
Nice to meet you!
**[14:13] Rein**
I'm Rein Shroud.
**[14:15] Rein**
I ran into you in the middle
of my adventurer's trial, miss.
**[14:19] Rein**
Wh-What is it?
**[14:20] Kanade**
I'd rather you call me "Kanade" than "miss."
**[14:27] Rein**
Okay, if you call me Rein.
**[14:29] Kanade**
Okay then, Rein!
**[14:33] Kanade**
I'm glad you're the one who helped me!
**[14:35] Rein**
What were you doing out here
in the first place, Kanade?
**[14:40] Rein**
I mean, it's kind of strange
to find an endangered Cat Spirit
**[14:43] Rein**
in some unremarkable forest...
**[14:46] Kanade**
I've just been traveling, is all.
**[14:49] Kanade**
There's not many of us, so we
live quietly, deep in the mountains...
**[14:55] Kanade**
But life was kind of boring that way,
**[14:58] Kanade**
so I went on a journey,
where I ran into you,
**[15:01] Kanade**
who saved me!
**[15:03] Kanade**
Feels kind of like fate!
**[15:06] Kanade**
Now, tell me about you, Rein!
**[15:14] Kanade**
Then you were in the Hero's party, Rein?
**[15:17] Rein**
Yeah. Only for six months, though.
**[15:20] Rein**
*This is strange...*
**[15:23] Rein**
* Thinking about it has been so depressing,*
* I never told anyone else,*
**[15:27] Rein**
*but I'm telling Kanade everything.*
**[15:32] Rein**
And that's how it went...
**[15:36] Rein**
Kanade?
**[15:37] Kanade**
That Hero ought to be ashamed!
**[15:39] Kanade**
I can't believe he kicked you out...
**[15:45] Kanade**
When you're such a nice person!
**[15:48] Rein**
Are you mad on my behalf?
**[15:50] Kanade**
Of course I am!
**[15:52] Kanade**
Because Rein, you're... I...
**[16:00] Rein**
You're really sweet, Kanade.
But it's okay now.
**[16:05] Rein**
They were right about me being a hindrance,
**[16:07] Rein**
and I doubt any good would have come
from staying in that party.
**[16:12] Kanade**
Okay.
**[16:14] Kanade**
If you're not mad, Rein, then I'm not mad.
**[16:17] Kanade**
Still kinda frustrated though...
**[16:20] Rein**
Yeah.
**[16:21] Rein**
Thank you, though.
**[16:25] Rein**
*Oh, no! That was on reflex...*
**[16:30] Rein**
*What a relief. She doesn't seem to mind.*
**[16:34] Kanade**
But I want to make one thing clear.
**[16:37] Kanade**
You're not useless at all, Rein!
**[16:39] Kanade**
If anything, you're really strong!
**[16:42] Rein**
But I'm just a Beast Tamer.
**[16:44] Kanade**
And you've got an incredible gift for it!
**[16:46] Kanade**
The reason being...
**[16:48] Kanade**
I'm pretty sure you could tame me, Rein.
**[16:53] Kanade**
How do I put this?
**[16:56] Kanade**
It's like the second I saw you,
I felt this buzzing, like electricity!
**[17:00] Kanade**
I thought that you would be
able to tame me.
**[17:05] Kanade**
There are only a handful of people in the
whole world who can tame Cat Spirits!
**[17:10] Kanade**
Which means you're really amazing, Rein!
**[17:15] Rein**
Me, taming a Cat Spirit?
**[17:18] Rein**
I never even considered it before...
**[17:19] Kanade**
Come on, Rein!
**[17:23] Kanade**
Try taming me!
**[17:29] Rein**
* If I could actually tame*
* an ultimate species...*
**[17:31] Rein**
*It would be an unimaginably big help.*
**[17:35] Rein**
*Nothing like that would ever happen again.*
**[17:39] Rein**
*With an ultimate species...*
**[17:42] (Flashback) Kanade**
Feels kind of like fate!
**[17:44] Rein**
*Oh... that's right.*
**[17:48] Rein**
* It's not because she's from*
* an ultimate species.*
**[17:51] Rein**
*I want to get to know Kanade better.*
**[17:55] Rein**
Okay. Let's try it.
**[17:59] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[18:22] Kanade**
My name is Rein Shroud.
**[18:28] Kanade**
In establishing this new contract,
a bond is formed.
**[18:34] Kanade**
An oath in our hearts, hopes in our souls...
**[18:38] Kanade**
Your power, in my hand.
**[18:40] Kanade**
Speak now your name.
**[18:44] Kanade**
* If Kanade gives her name now,*
* the contract will be formed.*
**[18:48] Kanade**
*Otherwise...*
**[18:54] Kanade**
Kanade.
**[19:11] Kanade**
Did it work?
**[19:12] Rein**
Yep. The contract is sealed.
**[19:15] Rein**
Look at the palm of your hand.
**[19:18] Kanade**
There's some kind of weird pattern!
**[19:20] Rein**
It's the symbol of what links us.
**[19:24] Rein**
You and I are contracted now, Kanade.
**[19:27] Kanade**
Really? Then this means you
and I are bound together, huh!
**[19:32] Kanade**
That's great!
**[19:33] Rein**
Bound together?
**[19:35] Kanade**
Was I wrong?
**[19:37] Rein**
No, you're right.
**[19:40] Rein**
It symbolizes our bond, Kanade!
**[19:44] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[19:47] Kanade**
It's a pleasure to be
traveling with you, Rein!
**[19:50] Rein**
The feeling is mutual!
**[19:55] Rein**
Wha—hey!
**[19:57] Rein**
* There are the ultimate species,*
* with inexplicable power...*
**[20:01] Rein**
* I was a Beast Tamer kicked*
* out of the Hero's party,*
**[20:05] Rein**
*bereft of a goal or any comrades...*
**[20:07] Rein**
* And now one of the ultimate*
* species is working with me.*
**[21:46] Kanade**
Hey, aren't we going back to town?
**[21:49] Rein**
I need to finish my adventurer's trial first.
**[21:53] Rein**
I think they should be
around here somewhere....
**[21:56] Rein**
Ah, there we go.
**[21:57] Kanade**
Rabbits?
**[21:58] Rein**
Yep. First, a temporary contract...
**[22:05] Kanade**
There he goes.
**[22:07] Kanade**
But, wait, Rein how can you—
**[22:10] Rein**
Next, he brings his friends over.
**[22:11] Kanade**
Friends?!
**[22:15] Kanade**
I'm in fluffy heaven!
**[22:17] Rein**
Then I form temporary
contracts with all of them.
**[22:25] Rein**
Okay, everyone,
**[22:27] Rein**
I need you to look for medicinal herbs
in the area and bring them to me.
**[22:31] Rein**
Be careful not to mistake them
for food and eat them!
**[22:34] Rein**
Okay, off you go.
**[22:38] Rein**
That ought to do it...
**[22:41] Rein**
What's wrong?
**[22:43] Kanade**
What the heck is going on?!
**[22:44] Kanade**
You were able to tame so many at once!
And give them complex commands!
**[22:49] Rein**
Is that really so rare?
**[22:51] Kanade**
You bet it is!
***SIGN*** Normal
**[22:53] Kanade**
Even with temporary contracts, most Beast
Tamers can only handle one at a time!
***SIGN*** Weird
**[22:59] Kanade**
Not to mention, you've tamed me,
**[23:02] Kanade**
so you shouldn't be able to do any more, Rein!
**[23:04] Kanade**
I mean, I know I said you were
an amazing Beast Tamer, but...
**[23:08] Kanade**
This is supposed to be impossible!
**[23:11] Rein**
Huh, you know a lot
about this stuff, Kanade.
**[23:13] Kanade**
How is this happening?!
**[23:14] Kanade**
I've never heard of a Beast Tamer
doing all this at once!
**[23:17] Rein**
I'm not sure what to tell you...
**[23:19] Rein**
Back home, everyone can do this sort of thing.
**[23:23] Rein**
It's just normal for
a Beast Tamer, isn't it?
**[23:26] Kanade**
It's not even kind of normal!
**[23:29] Kanade**
And you called me inexplicable?!

**[00:03] Natalie**
Ten pieces of goblin rune stone
and 20 medicinal herbs.
**[00:06] Natalie**
Okay! Looks like it's all here.
**[00:09] Natalie**
You've passed the trial! Congratulations.
**[00:12] Natalie**
The Horizon Adventurer's Guild
hereby recognizes Rein Shroud
**[00:16] Natalie**
as an F-rank adventurer.
**[00:20] Natalie**
Here is your adventurer's card.
**[00:22] Natalie**
It's your identification from now on,
so take good care of it.
**[00:25] Rein**
Right. Thank you.
**[00:27] Natalie**
And this is your reward. Fifty copper coins.
**[00:32] Natalie**
It was an F-rank job,
so it's not much, but...
**[00:36] Natalie**
Still, as your rank goes up,
you'll be paid even more,
**[00:39] Natalie**
and given how quickly you passed the trial,
**[00:42] Natalie**
I'm sure you'll be promoted in no time!
**[00:45] Natalie**
Good luck!
**[00:47] Rein**
Thanks.
**[00:48] Rein**
* If I'm going to work on increasing my rank,*
* I'll want lodgings to operate out of...*
**[00:53] Rein**
* But the amount I just*
* got paid won't cover it.*
**[00:56] Rein**
*Okay!*
**[00:59] Kanade**
Rein!
**[01:01] Rein**
Sorry about the wait, Kanade.
**[01:02] Kanade**
Welcome back!
**[01:04] Kanade**
So, are you an adventurer now?! Huh?!
**[01:07] Rein**
Yep, I sure am.
**[01:08] Kanade**
Really?! Congratulations!
**[01:11] Rein**
Thanks.
**[01:12] Rein**
I actually wanted to start accepting jobs...
**[01:15] Rein**
Is that okay with you, Kanade?
**[01:16] Kanade**
Yep! No problems here! Let's go!
**[01:19] Adventurer A**
Well, hell, you don't see this every day.
**[01:28] Adventurer A**
A bona-fide Cat Spirit.
***SIGN*** Beast Tamer
***SIGN*** Comrades
**[03:03] Rein**
Do you need something?
**[03:04] Adventurer A**
Never seen a real one in person.
**[03:07] Adventurer A**
What's a Cat Spirit like you
doing in a place like this?
**[03:12] Kanade**
I've got nothing to say to you, buster!
**[03:14] Adventurer A**
Aw, no need to be cold.
**[03:17] Adventurer A**
How about we have some drinks?
**[03:19] Adventurer A**
It's bound to be more fun than hanging
out with this boring looking brat.
**[03:22] Kanade**
Hey!
**[03:23] Kanade**
Don't you mock my master!
**[03:27] Kanade**
Rein tamed me, got it?!
**[03:29] Adventurer A**
Huh? Tamed...?
**[03:32] Rein**
I'm a Beast Tamer.
**[03:37] Adventurer A**
Don't be stupid, kid!
**[03:39] Adventurer A**
Cat Spirits are one of the ultimate species.
**[03:42] Adventurer A**
How's a runt like this
supposed to tame one?
**[03:45] Kanade**
That just goes to show
how bad a judge you are.
**[03:48] Kanade**
Rein is an amazing Beast Tamer,
and way stronger than you!
**[03:53] Rein**
Kanade...
**[03:57] Adventurer A**
So this shrimp's supposed to
be stronger than me?
**[04:01] Adventurer A**
In that case...
**[04:03] Adventurer A**
Let's see who's really stronger
between you and me.
**[04:07] Adventurer A**
And the girl will be the prize.
**[04:10] Rein**
Kanade...?
**[04:11] Adventurer A**
You're not gonna chicken out, are you?
**[04:14] Adventurer A**
Not when you're the kinda mighty Beast
Tamer that can tame a Cat Spirit...
**[04:18] Adventurer A**
Someone like me shouldn't be
much of a challenge at all.
**[04:21] Rein**
*I don't care what he says about me,*
**[04:24] Rein**
* but if I avoid this, he's likely to come*
* after Kanade again in the future.*
**[04:33] Kanade**
Rein!
**[04:35] Adventurer A**
Found your nerve, huh?
**[04:38] Rein**
*She'd be in danger.*
**[04:40] Rein**
*I can't let that happen!*
**[04:43] Adventurer A**
Don't cry if I end up snapping
your twig of an arm.
**[04:46] Adventurer A**
There's a rare Cat Spirit on the line.
**[04:49] Adventurer A**
Maybe my luck's turning around.
**[04:52] Rein**
* Even if it's futile...*
* I have to do whatever I can!*
**[04:57] Adventurer A**
Ready... go!
**[05:03] Kanade**
Rein wins!
**[05:07] Adevnturer A**
Ow...!
**[05:07] Natalie**
Okay, what's all the commotion?
**[05:12] Natalie**
You again?
**[05:14] Natalie**
My apologies, Rein.
**[05:16] Natalie**
The guild's actually
been aware of his antics,
**[05:17] Adventurer A**
It hurts so bad! What the hell?!
**[05:19] Adventurer A**
You stupid brat! Stupid... brat!
**[05:20] Natalie**
and has been considering
suspending his license...
**[05:27] Natalie**
You have our sincere apologies.
I can take it from here.
**[05:32] Rein/Kanade**
O-Okay.
**[05:35] Natalie**
I must ask, Rein...
**[05:38] Natalie**
How did you end up contracted
with an ultimate species
**[05:41] Natalie**
during the course of your trial?
**[05:42] Natalie**
That came as a much bigger surprise to me!
**[05:45] Rein/Kanade**
S-Sorry...
**[05:48] Natalie**
My apologies! My inner voice was leaking out.
**[05:51] Natalie**
Well, since you were able to
find such a powerful partner,
**[05:54] Natalie**
I'm sure we can expect
great things from you!
**[05:58] Natalie**
Until then!
**[06:04] Rein**
How'd I do that?
**[06:06] Rein**
I shouldn't be so strong.
**[06:10] Kanade**
Did you not notice, Rein?
**[06:13] Kanade**
When you're contracted with
a powerful species like mine,
**[06:16] Kanade**
it amplifies your own strength,
as the master, as a result.
**[06:20] Kanade**
Which means right now, you're about
as strong as a Cat Spirit, Rein!
**[06:26] Rein**
I'm strong like you now?
**[06:29] Rein**
That's like something out of a dream.
**[06:31] Kanade**
You honestly had no idea?
**[06:33] Rein**
No.
**[06:34] Rein**
I mean, no one back home ever contracted
with someone from an ultimate species, so...
**[06:39] Rein**
And I was just desperate, back there.
**[06:41] Kanade**
Oh, I see!
**[06:43] Kanade**
Well, I was super happy
when you protected me like that!
**[06:50] Rein**
I mean... why wouldn't I be?
**[06:53] Kanade**
Okay! It's about time we get to that job!
**[06:56] Kanade**
I'm gonna work hard!
**[06:58] Kanade**
Or so I thought, but...
**[07:01] Kanade**
Why? Why this?
**[07:03] Kanade**
Why more herb gathering?
**[07:06] Kanade**
You are an adventurer, right?!
**[07:08] Kanade**
Shouldn't you be looking
for a legendary sword,
**[07:10] Kanade**
or rescuing kidnapped princesses?!
**[07:12] Kanade**
How about a job like that?!
**[07:14] Rein**
I'm still at the bottom with an F-rank.
That means only basic jobs.
**[07:19] Rein**
We'll just have to handle jobs like this
until we've got more experience...
**[07:24] Kanade**
Okay, then. I understand.
**[07:26] Kanade**
I'm gonna work hard!
And yank all this grass out!
**[07:29] Rein**
Okay, good job finding them.
**[07:32] Rein**
Thanks. This should cover our quota!
**[07:36] Kanade**
Again with this?!
**[07:40] Kanade**
It's no fair!
**[07:42] Kanade**
I'm your familiar, so I want to help you.
**[07:49] Kanade**
Where do a bunch of temps
get off hogging all the credit?!
**[07:53] Rein**
Well, we got the amount we needed,
so let's report back to the guild.
**[07:56] Kanade**
Wait!
**[07:58] Rein**
Kanade?
**[07:59] Kanade**
Something's happening over there.
**[08:01] Kanade**
I can hear yelling and...
**[08:04] Kanade**
Screams, I think?
**[08:06] Rein**
Let's check it out!
**[08:10] Bandit A**
Looks like your guards all
left you hanging, gramps!
**[08:13] Bandit B**
They took off the second they
realized we were the Ebon Fangs.
**[08:18] Bandit C**
How's it feel? Huh?
**[08:20] Bandit C**
Having the adventurers you
hired abandon you like this?
**[08:24] Rein**
The Ebon Fangs?
**[08:26] Kanade**
I heard about them while I was traveling.
**[08:28] Kanade**
They're a major band of brigands,
with over a hundred members!
**[08:31] Kanade**
They have a reputation all over
for the things they do,
**[08:33] Kanade**
and the things they do are really awful!
**[08:36] Kanade**
This is dangerous. Let's go get help.
**[08:39] Rein**
No. I don't think we'll have enough time.
**[08:40] Merchant**
Please, spare my life!
**[08:42] Bandit B**
"Hey, as long as you drop your wares,
we couldn't care less about you."
**[08:47] Bandit B**
Did you really think it'd be that easy?!
**[08:50] Merchant**
P-Please, no!
**[08:52] Rein**
We have to stop this.
**[08:54] Rein**
I want to save him.
**[09:01] Kanade**
That's my master for you!
**[09:05] Rein**
I'll jump in among them.
**[09:07] Rein**
You protect the old man, Kanade.
**[09:10] Kanade**
Got it!
**[09:11] Rein**
Here we go...
**[09:14] Bandit D**
What the...?
**[09:21] Kanade**
Mister, are you okay?
**[09:22] Merchant**
Y-Yes...
**[09:23] Kanade**
This way!
**[09:24] Bandit F**
Who's this brat?!
**[09:26] Bandit H**
Slaughter him!
**[09:28] Kanade**
*To be absolutely honest, I was nervous.*
**[09:33] Kanade**
* Rein has the kind of potential*
* to redefine what a Beast Tamer is.*
**[09:38] Kanade**
* And on top of that, he's gained the power*
* of a Cat Spirit through our contract.*
**[09:43] Kanade**
* I would never think forming*
* this contract was a mistake.*
**[09:48] Kanade**
* But... what if he has trouble*
* adapting to his newfound strength?*
**[09:54] Kanade**
*Would it negatively affect his mind?*
**[09:58] Kanade**
*Could it cause him to self-destruct?*
**[10:02] Kanade**
*I know what his orders were,*
**[10:04] Kanade**
* but I think it'd be safer if I was*
* the one fighting on the front lines.*
**[10:18] Kanade**
Wow...
**[10:20] Kanade**
*It's like I was worried for nothing.*
**[10:28] Kanade**
*I can't look away from Rein as he fights.*
**[10:33] Kanade**
*What is this?*
**[10:38] Kanade**
*My heart is pounding!*
**[10:43] Rein**
That ought to do it.
**[10:45] Rein**
Kanade, everything okay on your end?
**[10:50] Rein**
Yep! He doesn't seem hurt at all.
**[10:53] Rein**
Well, that's good to hear.
**[10:56] Rein**
You're bright red! Were you hurt somehow?
**[10:58] Kanade**
No, no! This is nothing!
**[11:01] Kanade**
M-More importantly, Rein, that was amazing!
**[11:03] Kanade**
You did all that, without any weapons!
**[11:06] Rein**
Well, to make sure we don't hurt the animals
we're trying to tame with weapons,
**[11:11] Rein**
we were taught martial arts.
**[11:13] Kanade**
Wow, is that right?
**[11:15] Merchant**
Excuse me, but the two of you
really did save me from grave danger.
**[11:19] Rein**
Oh, we're just glad you're okay.
**[11:22] Rein**
But isn't a merchant traveling
without guards a little dangerous?
**[11:26] Merchant**
Actually, I had hired some, but...
**[11:29] Merchant**
They took off the second things
took a turn for the worse.
**[11:31] Rein**
They sound terrible.
**[11:34] Merchant**
They're of no concern, now.
**[11:36] Merchant**
I'm more worried about reprisals
from the Ebon Fangs
**[11:39] Merchant**
when they find out their men
have been beaten...
**[11:41] Merchant**
You need to escape!
**[11:43] Merchant**
Everyone who has defied
them has been killed!
**[11:47] Rein**
They're really that dangerous?
**[11:51] Rein**
I guess we should capture them all, then.
**[11:55] Kanade**
Uh, Rein?
**[11:59] Kanade**
Hey, are you serious about doing this?
**[12:02] Rein**
If they're as violent and vindictive
as they sound, we could run,
**[12:05] Rein**
but that merchant and the people
in town might end up in danger.
**[12:10] Rein**
I can't just let that happen.
**[12:12] Kanade**
But we're talking about
over a hundred bandits...
**[12:16] Kanade**
Isn't that biting off a bit much?
**[12:17] Rein**
Not exactly.
**[12:19] Rein**
I've actually got a plan.
**[12:26] Rein**
Looks like that's their hideout.
**[12:28] Rein**
Thanks for the tip.
**[12:31] Rein**
As for what we're gonna do... Kanade?
**[12:35] Kanade**
I wanted to find the hideout!
**[12:37] Kanade**
But an animal beat me to it again!
**[12:40] Kanade**
I'm supposed to be Rein's familiar,
but I've been totally useless!
**[12:45] Rein**
C-Come on, that's not true!
**[12:47] Kanade**
Oh, hey, ants...
**[12:49] Rein**
Really, Kanade, you've been a huge help.
**[12:54] Kanade**
I'm just goofing around.
**[12:55] Kanade**
So, Rein, what's this plan you have?
**[12:58] Rein**
Well, it involves the temporary contract...
**[13:01] Rein**
That I made with this guy.
**[13:03] Kanade**
A bee?
**[13:04] Rein**
These are actually called Ahrbees,
and they're a little special.
**[13:08] Rein**
They've got a paralytic sting that will put
anyone who's hit by it down for 12 hours.
**[13:12] Kanade**
Wow! Wait...
**[13:15] Kanade**
Aren't bees insects?
How can you tame them?
**[13:19] Rein**
Oh, that. Have you heard of Insect Tamers?
**[13:23] Kanade**
Insect...?
**[13:25] Rein**
They're a sub-class of Beast
Tamer that tames bugs.
**[13:29] Rein**
I went through the training
back home for a while.
**[13:33] Rein**
I haven't quite mastered it, but...
**[13:36] Kanade**
That's still amazing! Having the
skills from two classes?
**[13:41] Kanade**
The surprises never end with Rein.
**[13:44] Rein**
You think so?
**[13:46] Rein**
Anyway, I'm going to send
the bees after the bandits.
**[13:50] Rein**
I want you to run to town
and get some reinforcements.
**[13:53] Kanade**
Roger! Wait...
**[13:55] Rein**
Shh!
**[13:58] Kanade**
Rein, you keep doing all
the dangerous parts yourself.
**[14:03] Kanade**
Am I really any help as a familiar?
**[14:06] Rein**
Kanade, like I said before...
**[14:08] Kanade**
It's fine! I just wanted to say it.
**[14:11] Leane**
But what reinforcements do you mean?
**[14:13] Rein**
Well, arresting a hundred bandits
will require extra hands,
**[14:17] Rein**
so I want you to bring adventurers
and the order of knights.
**[14:19] Kanade**
The order of knights?
**[14:21] Rein**
They're tasked by the government
with upholding the peace across the land.
**[14:25] Rein**
Since we're dealing with bandits,
they're bound to come running.
**[14:28] Kanade**
Okay, got it!
**[14:30] Kanade**
But, just be careful, okay?
**[14:32] Kanade**
Knowing you, it'll be fine, but...
**[14:35] Rein**
I'll run away if it gets dangerous. I promise.
**[14:38] Kanade**
Okay! I'll be right back
with that help, then.
**[14:44] Rein**
Looks like he brought his friends.
**[14:57] Rein**
Okay, here we go...
**[15:05] Leane**
Did they follow us?!
**[15:06] Mina**
It seems... we managed to escape.
**[15:10] Leane**
What a nightmare.
**[15:13] Leane**
I thought it'd be a good way
to kill some time
**[15:15] Leane**
and earn some coin until
we took on the Lost Woods.
**[15:18] Leane**
And it should have been an easy job!
**[15:20] Leane**
I can't believe we had to run
from a bunch of scumbag bandits!
**[15:26] Leane**
We would've been better off schmoozing it up
with Arios and Aggath instead.
**[15:33] Mina**
You were the one who said
that seemed "like a drag," Leane.
**[15:37] Leane**
Because it would be.
**[15:38] Leane**
I don't know why the Hero's
party is expected
**[15:40] Leane**
to suck up to anyone
who isn't royalty, anyway.
**[15:45] Leane**
But right now, more than any of that...
**[15:48] Leane**
I've got a bone to pick with you!
**[15:50] Leane**
Isn't buying time for spell casters
in the rear the most basic of basics?!
**[15:56] Leane**
Where do you get off
running away like that?!
**[15:59] Mina**
True enough.
**[16:00] Mina**
I'm amazed you accepted this job,
even temporarily, considering...
**[16:04] Adventurer B**
Look, I already told you!
**[16:07] Adventurer B**
I'm a Beast Tamer,
and not cut out for combat!
**[16:10] Leane**
Are you trying to put this on us?
**[16:14] Leane**
Even someone as useless as Rein
could fight on the front lines...
**[16:17] Adventurer B**
I d-don't even know who that is!
**[16:20] Mina**
Then why weren't you more
thorough in scouting out the area?
**[16:24] Mina**
Did you honestly think a single squirrel
was enough to gain the lay of the land?
**[16:29] Leane**
Yeah! You should've just
tamed ten or twenty.
**[16:33] Leane**
Where do you get off slacking,
you taming trash?!
**[16:36] Adventurer B**
What are you even talking about?
**[16:38] Adventurer B**
That's not even possible!
**[16:41] Adventurer B**
Forget ten. Most people
can't even tame two at once!
**[16:45] Adventurer B**
Fundamentally, a single Beast Tamer
tames a single beast at a time!
**[16:50] Adventurer B**
If you tried to tame
more than one at once,
**[16:52] Adventurer B**
it'd be enough to burn out
your nervous system!
**[16:55] Adventurer B**
And you two have been making
all these crazy demands
**[16:57] Adventurer B**
when you don't even know that?!
**[17:01] Leane**
*What is this?*
**[17:03] Leane**
*What does that say about him, taming dozens of animals at once so easily?*
**[17:11] Leane**
Okay, fine.
**[17:14] Leane**
It's clear you're useless, and a liar.
**[17:17] Leane**
Well...
**[17:19] Leane**
We can hardly have people learning
**[17:22] Leane**
that members of the Hero's
party screwed up like this.
**[17:25] Leane**
Which is why you're going to
take responsibility for accepting
**[17:29] Leane**
and failing this job on your own.
**[17:31] Leane**
Got it?
**[17:32] Adventurer B**
B-But my reputation will be...
**[17:35] Leane**
I have over a thousand spells.
**[17:38] Leane**
Mina has healing magic
that can even raise the dead.
**[17:43] Leane**
Maybe you'd be more cooperative after dying
and being resurrected a few times...?
**[17:47] Adventurer B**
O-Okay!
**[17:49] Adventurer B**
Fine then!
**[17:51] Leane**
This has been a huge waste of time.
**[17:53] Mina**
Truly.
**[17:55] Mina**
And all of that nonsense he spoke...
**[17:57] Mina**
He was making it sound as if Rein was—
**[18:00] Leane**
Dealing with this garbage has me exhausted!
**[18:02] Leane**
Let's get back already.
**[18:04] Mina**
I suppose so. Arios and Aggath
should be nearly done.
**[18:09] Leane**
*Wasting our time with those stupid lies...*
**[18:11] Leane**
*That piece of trash, Rein?*
**[18:13] Leane**
* There's no way he's actually*
* any good at anything.*
**[18:16] Bandit O**
Whole body's numb...
**[18:18] Bandit P**
Can't move...
**[18:21] Rein**
Looks like that went smoothly.
**[18:24] Rein**
Good work! And thanks.
**[18:29] Kanade**
Rein! I got help!
**[18:34] Adventurer C**
The little lady filled us in on the details.
**[18:36] Adventurer C**
I'm impressed you were able
to deal with the Ebon Fangs.
**[18:39] Adventurer D**
Then again, you were already
impressive back at the guild.
**[18:42] Adventurer D**
Well, you can leave the cleanup to us!
**[18:44] Rein**
Thanks. That'd be a huge help.
**[18:48] Rein**
Actually, I only see adventurers.
**[18:50] Adventurer D**
The knights aren't coming.
**[18:52] Adventurer D**
"We've no time to deal with
mere cutpurses," apparently.
**[18:55] Adventurer C**
You two should let us take it from here.
You already took care of the hard part.
**[19:04] Rein**
Thanks for calling them so quickly.
**[19:07] Rein**
You're probably tired, huh?
**[19:08] Kanade**
Nah, I'm fine!
**[19:11] Kanade**
I'm glad I was able to help you, Rein!
**[19:14] Rein**
Yeah. And now it looks
like this is taken care—
**[19:18] Rein**
What is that sound?!
**[19:19] Kanade**
Rein... this is bad, I think those are...
**[19:36] Rein**
No way! King Lizards?!
**[19:39] Rein**
What's the equivalent
of C-ranked monsters doing here?!
**[19:43] Bandit O**
We were keeping them around
for just this kind of occasion!
**[19:46] Bandit O**
Hey! Go ahead and wipe them—
**[19:53] Rein**
This is no good, they're going berserk!
**[19:57] Kanade**
Rein!
**[19:58] Rein**
Yeah!
**[20:02] Adventurer C**
He was able to hurt a King Lizard?!
**[20:04] Kanade**
There's more where that came from!
**[20:11] Adventurer D**
Damn...
**[20:13] Rein**
Take the bandits and get clear of the cave!
**[20:15] Adventurer D**
B-But we can't just...
**[20:18] Rein**
It's okay! We'll handle it.
**[20:22] Adventurer C**
Okay.
**[20:23] Adventurer C**
Everybody, move!
**[20:25] Adventurer C**
Don't you dare die!
**[20:27] Adventurer C**
This way! Quickly!
**[20:28] Adventurer D**
We'll see you later!
**[20:30] Rein**
*I wonder what the old me would have done?*
**[20:33] Rein**
*The person who traveled with Arios' party*
**[20:36] Rein**
* would've probably realized*
* he couldn't do anything.*
**[20:39] Rein**
*But things are different now.*
**[20:48] Rein**
*Kanade is with me.*
**[20:54] Rein**
*And with her...*
**[21:02] Adventurer C**
It's been a while since we left the cave.
**[21:06] Adventurer D**
Yeah.
**[21:07] Adventurer E**
Taking on that many King Lizards...
You've gotta imagine they're...
**[21:23] Adventurer E**
You're amazing, buddy!
**[21:24] Adventurer F**
You too, miss!
**[21:26] Adventurer F**
She really is an ultimate species!
**[21:27] Adventurer G**
Hooray!
**[21:28] Adventurer G**
This is incredible!
**[21:30] Rein**
*Everyone's acknowledging me.*
**[21:32] Rein**
* Me, the person who was kicked out*
* of the Hero's party for being useless.*
**[21:43] Rein**
*Her being an ultimate species or my familiar...*
**[21:46] Rein**
*Those things don't really matter.*
**[21:49] Rein**
Thank you, Kanade.
**[21:53] Rein**
With you by my side,
I get the feeling I can do anything!
**[21:59] Kanade**
Rein...
**[22:01] Kanade**
Yeah!

**[00:05] Kanade**
A real bed!
**[00:11] Kanade**
It's so nice after all that camping!
**[00:14] Kanade**
What?
**[00:15] Kanade**
What's wrong?
**[00:17] Kanade**
Rein! The beds are nice and fluffy!
**[00:21] Rein**
*Why is this happening?!*
**[00:22] Innkeeper Lady**
I'm so glad you like it!
**[00:24] Innkeeper Lady**
Good luck, you two!
**[00:26] Rein**
Good luck with what?!
**[00:27] Kanade**
So fluffy!
***SIGN*** Beast Tamer
**[02:01] Rein**
* Hauling in the Ebon Fangs that Kanade*
* and I caught took us until nightfall.*
***SIGN*** Another Ultimate Species
**[02:06] Rein**
* After that, we were called*
* to the Adventurer's Guild.*
**[02:10] Rein**
* Our elimination of the Ebon Fangs*
* was deemed such an achievement,*
**[02:14] Rein**
* that I was given a special*
* promotion to E-rank.*
**[02:19] Rein**
*I was also given a rather sizable reward.*
**[02:22] Rein**
*So we picked up some equipment in town,*
**[02:25] Rein**
* then celebrated with a*
* rather luxurious dinner.*
**[02:28] Rein**
*But...*
**[02:29] (Flashback) Innkeeper Lady**
I'm so sorry.
**[02:31] (Flashback) Innkeeper Lady**
We only have one room open tonight.
**[02:33] (Flashback) Rein**
All right, we'll try another inn—
**[02:34] (Flashback) Innkeeper Lady**
And I'll show you right to it!
**[02:36] (Flashback) Rein**
Huh?! Wai—
**[02:37] Rein**
* Kanade and I were supposed*
* to have separate rooms,*
**[02:40] Rein**
* but with no others open,*
* we got stuck here together!*
**[02:43] Kanade**
I bet I'll sleep really well tonight!
**[02:45] Kanade**
Come try the beds, Rein!
**[02:47] Rein**
I...
**[02:50] Rein**
I'm camping out tonight!
**[02:52] Kanade**
What?! Why? Why?!
**[02:53] Kanade**
We already paid for the week!
**[02:56] Rein**
There are bigger things at stake!
**[02:58] Rein**
I can't sleep in the same room as a girl!
**[03:02] Kanade**
I don't mind spending the
night with *you*, Rein!
**[03:05] Rein**
You *should*! I'm a guy, remember?
**[03:08] Kanade**
Well, the notion of sharing
a room with a guy like you,
**[03:12] Kanade**
does make me feel a little embarrassed.
**[03:15] Kanade**
But I know you're not *that* kind
of guy, so I'm okay with it!
**[03:19] Kanade**
Okay?
**[03:21] Rein**
* I can't tell if she's too*
* kind or just too ignorant...*
**[03:24] Rein**
Listen, Kanade.
You can't trust people so easily.
**[03:29] Rein**
We only just met,
**[03:30] Rein**
and we barely know each other.
**[03:34] Rein**
What makes you so sure you can trust me?
**[03:39] Rein**
I'm going.
**[03:41] Kanade**
I...
**[03:43] Kanade**
It's not that I'd trust just anybody.
**[03:47] Kanade**
I trust you, because you're you.
**[03:50] Kanade**
You're not like other people.
**[03:53] Kanade**
Even if we only just met,
**[03:56] Kanade**
we're still comrades, right?
**[04:00] Kanade**
And I can't let my faithful
comrade sleep outside!
**[04:06] Kanade**
Comrades just don't do that!
**[04:08] Kanade**
You know?
**[04:09] Rein**
I got it.
**[04:11] Rein**
I won't sleep outside.
**[04:12] Rein**
I'll sleep here.
**[04:14] Kanade**
Really?!
**[04:15] Rein**
Yeah.
**[04:16] Kanade**
Well, glad to hear it!
**[04:18] Rein**
* It's been one surprise after*
* another since I met her.*
**[04:24] Rein**
*I just can't argue with her.*
**[04:29] Kanade**
But, but... You should look
away while I'm changing, okay?
**[04:33] Rein**
Obviously!
**[04:42] Kanade**
He's so cute when he sleeps.
**[04:45] Kanade**
*Rein really is a good guy.*
**[04:49] Kanade**
* Even among the ultimate species,*
* cat spirits like me are rare.*
**[04:54] Kanade**
* Countless humans have tried*
* to catch me because of that.*
**[04:59] Kanade**
* Some approach me hoping*
* to get ahead in the world.*
**[05:05] Kanade**
*Money, greed, glory...*
**[05:08] Kanade**
*That's all those people wanted.*
**[05:13] Kanade**
*But that's when I met...*
**[05:16] (Flashback) Rein**
Hey, are you okay?
**[05:20] Kanade**
*...Rein!*
**[05:22] Kanade**
* Rein was surprised to*
* meet me, but that's not all.*
**[05:26] Kanade**
*He saved me out of sheer goodwill.*
**[05:28] Kanade**
* He interacted with me like*
* I was any other girl.*
**[05:33] Kanade**
*I can't express how happy that made me!*
**[05:43] Kanade**
* I bet Rein's still hurting from*
* being kicked out of his party.*
**[05:49] Kanade**
*He's acting like he doesn't care,*
**[05:52] Kanade**
*but I'm sure he's still bothered, deep down.*
**[05:56] Kanade**
*I'd like to heal that wound.*
**[05:59] Kanade**
* I want to see Rein smile from*
* the bottom of his heart.*
**[06:06] Kanade**
*No matter what happens,*
**[06:09] Kanade**
*I'll always be with you, Rein.*
**[06:14] Rein**
*It's been a week since I first met Kanade.*
**[06:16] Kanade**
Rein!
**[06:19] Rein**
We've been smoothly working through our jobs,
**[06:23] Rein**
enjoying the laid-back
life of the adventurer.
**[06:30] Kanade**
Want some?
**[06:31] Rein**
Thanks.
**[06:33] Rein**
The Guard Dog of Stride Bridge?
**[06:36] Natalie**
Yes. A true hooligan has
appeared on Stride Bridge.
**[06:39] Rein/Kanade**
Hooligan?
**[06:41] Natalie**
They're picking fights with
anyone who tries to cross.
**[06:46] Natalie**
They, apparently, leave once
they've deemed the battle won,
**[06:49] Natalie**
so they fortunately haven't killed anyone...
**[06:52] Natalie**
But it's really deterring
people from using the bridge.
**[06:56] Natalie**
And so...
**[06:57] Natalie**
What do you think, Rein?
**[06:59] Natalie**
Will you take the job?
**[07:01] Rein**
You think E-ranks, like us, are qualified?
**[07:04] Natalie**
Yes!
**[07:05] Natalie**
This job is available to all ranks!
**[07:07] Natalie**
Whoever beats the hooligan
first gets the reward!
**[07:10] Natalie**
And the reward is quite high!
**[07:13] Natalie**
Five gold pieces!
**[07:15] Rein**
I'll take it!
**[07:17] Natalie**
Thank you so much!
**[07:24] Kanade**
Isn't it a big bridge, Rein?
**[07:28] Rein**
*Stride Bridge.*
**[07:29] Rein**
* It's the only way to travel from the Central*
* Continent, where Horizon is located,*
**[07:33] Rein**
*to the Southern Continent.*
**[07:34] Kanade**
Isn't it amazing?!
**[07:36] Kanade**
I've never seen anything like it!
**[07:38] Rein**
That's right. I guess you've
never been here before.
**[07:41] Kanade**
But what kind of person do you
think this "Guard Dog" is?
**[07:45] Rein**
Good question.
**[07:47] Rein**
*Normally, if no one's died,*
**[07:49] Rein**
* you'd be able to ask witnesses*
* about the culprit's identity.*
**[07:53] Rein**
* But the people who got*
* beaten refused to talk,*
**[07:56] Rein**
* so I couldn't get any information*
* about the Guard Dog's identity.*
**[08:00] Rein**
*A completely unknown enemy!*
**[08:02] Rein**
* I'll have to make sure*
* not to let my guard down.*
**[08:04] Kanade**
Rein!
**[08:06] Rein**
What is it?
**[08:06] Kanade**
Look at that!
**[08:11] Rein/Kanade**
D-D-D...
**[08:14] Rein/Kanade**
Dragon?!
**[08:24] Tania**
I sense power here.
**[08:28] Tania**
Hey, you two! Fight me!
**[08:32] Rein**
The dragon... was a girl?
**[08:34] Tania**
Are you listening to me?!
**[08:36] Rein**
Sorry!
**[08:37] Rein**
But can I ask one question?
**[08:40] Rein**
Are you the Guard Dog who's been
raising havoc on this bridge?
**[08:42] Kanade**
Guard Dog?
**[08:43] Tania**
Not exactly my favorite nickname,
**[08:46] Tania**
but I guess that'd be me.
**[08:47] Tania**
I'm Tania of the ultimate
species, dragonoids!
**[08:50] Tania**
I'm using this bridge for training.
**[08:52] Rein**
Training?!
**[08:53] Kanade**
It's the law among the dragonoids.
**[08:55] Kanade**
Once they turn 15, they set out on
a journey to become properly strong.
**[09:00] Kanade**
I think.
**[09:01] Tania**
Aren't you the knowledgeable one? Exactly.
**[09:04] Tania**
I've been searching for somebody strong.
**[09:07] Tania**
A first-rate adventurer and cat spirit...
**[09:10] Tania**
Perfect opponents upon
which to hone my strength.
**[09:12] Tania**
I'm just fine with a two-on-one fight.
**[09:14] Tania**
But I'm not leaving this
bridge until you fight me!
**[09:19] Kanade**
It looks like we'll have to fight her.
**[09:21] Rein**
I wasn't expecting to fight a
dragon, an ultimate species...
**[09:25] Kanade**
Rein.
**[09:27] Kanade**
Don't worry! I'm an ultimate
species, too, remember?
**[09:32] Rein**
That's true!
**[09:33] Tania**
All ready, are we?
**[09:43] Tania**
Now, let us begin!
**[09:46] Kanade**
Rein!
**[09:51] Tania**
Not bad at all.
**[09:53] Tania**
That single blow's taken out about
half of those I've fought so far.
**[09:56] Rein**
*I'll bet.*
**[09:57] Rein**
*I only just barely blocked it, myself!*
**[10:03] Tania**
That means you pass the first test.
**[10:06] Tania**
But what about this?
**[10:11] Rein**
Dodge!
**[10:14] Rein**
* Don't take on human form if you're*
* just gonna do dragon stuff!*
**[10:18] Rein**
Kanade!
**[10:19] Kanade**
It's hot! It's hot!
**[10:20] Rein**
Don't move! I'll put it out!
**[10:25] Kanade**
My beautiful tail!
**[10:27] Kanade**
Okay, now I'm mad!
**[10:32] Tania**
Finally up for the fight?
**[10:41] Rein**
*Amazing...*
**[10:43] Rein**
* Two ultimate species...*
* they're on even footing.*
**[10:47] Rein**
*It feels a little like cheating...*
**[10:49] Rein**
But...
**[10:53] Rein**
*If we attack at the same time...*
**[10:58] Rein**
Wha—
**[10:59] Kanade**
*It can't be!*
**[11:04] Rein**
H-Hang on!
**[11:07] Tania**
And away you go!
**[11:12] Rein**
*Not good!*
**[11:13] Rein**
* Even with the ability boosts granted*
* from my contract with Kanade,*
**[11:16] Rein**
*I still can't fly!*
**[11:17] Rein**
*If she attacks us now...*
**[11:44] Tania**
Well done, you two.
**[11:46] Tania**
You're the first to ever last this long.
**[11:48] Tania**
I'm starting to enjoy this more and more!
**[11:52] Rein**
*She really is an ultimate species.*
**[11:54] Rein**
*So strong...*
**[11:56] Rein**
* Maybe it was arrogant to think we could*
* beat a dragonoid in hand-to-hand combat.*
**[12:03] Rein**
*I need to fight like a real beast tamer.*
**[12:07] Kanade**
Kanade.
**[12:08] Kanade**
Can you buy me five minutes... no, three?
**[12:11] Kanade**
I just thought of a plan.
**[12:13] Kanade**
A plan?
**[12:14] Rein**
If you buy me time,
I'll work out the rest on my own.
**[12:18] Kanade**
Okay! Leave it to me!
**[12:22] Rein**
Thanks!
**[12:23] Tania**
Is your little strategy meeting over?
**[12:26] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[12:28] Kanade**
Now, then...
**[12:30] Kanade**
Let's get serious!
**[12:42] Tania**
Well, look at you go!
**[12:43] Tania**
But how long will your
stamina hold up like this?
**[12:46] Kanade**
Don't worry about that!
**[12:47] Kanade**
Rein said he has an idea!
**[12:50] Rein**
*Hey! Don't tell her our plan!*
**[12:52] Rein**
No. I need to focus.
**[12:56] Rein**
*I needed to focus my mind.*
**[12:59] Rein**
*When Tania sent me flying,*
**[13:02] Rein**
*I felt a presence... faintly...*
**[13:05] Rein**
I found it!
**[13:10] Rein**
Will you bring your friends here?
**[13:13] Rein**
Yes! Good girl!
**[13:25] Rein**
Kanade!
**[13:28] Rein**
Leave the rest to me!
**[13:30] Tania**
What, am I fighting you next?
**[13:32] Rein**
No... you're fighting them!
**[13:38] Tania**
What is all this?!
**[13:39] Tania**
What's going on?
**[13:41] Tania**
It doesn't actually hurt, but...
**[13:43] Tania**
it's extremely irritating!
**[13:47] Tania**
Stop it!
**[13:49] Tania**
Trying to create a smokescreen, were you?
**[13:52] Tania**
You can't possibly have
thought that would hurt me.
**[13:54] Tania**
Don't make me laugh!
**[13:56] Tania**
An attack like that could
never hurt a dragonoid...
**[13:59] Tania**
like... me...
**[14:09] Tania**
What's going on?
**[14:10] Tania**
I can't... move.
**[14:13] Rein**
This is a pito.
**[14:15] Rein**
The bright plumage is a sign
that they're poisonous.
**[14:18] Tania**
Poisonous?
**[14:20] Rein**
That big a dose of poison should keep even
a dragonoid like you down for a while.
**[14:28] Tania**
Fine! I give up!
**[14:30] Tania**
I lose!
**[14:32] Rein**
Wow, that was fast.
**[14:37] Tania**
Well, I can't even lift a finger.
**[14:40] Tania**
How could I possibly win?
**[14:44] Kanade**
We did it!
**[14:46] Kanade**
Rein! We won!
**[14:48] Kanade**
Yeah! We did it!
**[14:48] Kanade**
Yay!
**[14:51] Rein**
All right, Tania.
**[14:52] Rein**
You need to come with us.
**[14:55] Tania**
Why? Going to sell me to some other human?
**[14:59] Rein**
Of course not.
**[15:01] Rein**
I just want to talk with you.
**[15:03] Rein**
And I hope you'll promise me that you'll
never do anything like this ever again.
**[15:08] Tania**
And if I refuse?
**[15:11] Rein**
In that case...
**[15:14] Rein**
I don't know! I'd be in a real fix!
**[15:21] Tania**
What kind of response is that?
**[15:23] Tania**
You could just take me anywhere
and do anything you want...
**[15:28] Tania**
What a weirdo.
**[15:32] Tania**
That super hurts!
**[15:33] Tania**
What are you doing?!
**[15:34] Kanade**
Stop making trouble for Rein!
**[15:37] Kanade**
This is punishment for bad girls!
**[15:40] Tania**
I got it! I'll go! I'll go already!
**[15:45] Tania**
I get it! Just cut it out!
**[15:48] Rein**
*It never ends...*
**[15:54] Natalie**
You drove off the Guard
Dog of Stride Bridge?!
**[15:57] Rein**
Y-Yes!
**[15:59] Rein**
I beat the hooligan and got a guarantee.
**[16:02] Rein**
The bridge should be safe from now on.
**[16:04] Natalie**
That's our Rein!
**[16:06] Natalie**
I just knew you could beat that quest!
**[16:09] Natalie**
We'll give you your reward
after we confirm your story.
**[16:13] Natalie**
But thank you so much!
**[16:15] Natalie**
By the way... who is that?
**[16:19] Natalie**
The tail and horns...
**[16:21] Natalie**
Is she a drago—
**[16:22] Rein**
No! Just someone we met
on the course of the job!
**[16:25] Rein**
She's human, and... her appearance is just...
**[16:26] Rein**
Right! It's just a costume!
**[16:28] Natalie**
Oh, I see!
**[16:30] Tania**
Don't you dare speak for me!
**[16:32] Tania**
I'm not some kind of weirdo!
**[16:35] Tania**
Allow me to tell you.
**[16:36] Tania**
I am the queen of the skies,
**[16:39] Tania**
a dragon—
**[16:40] Rein**
We'll be going now! See you!
**[16:42] Kanade**
See you!
**[16:46] Rein**
If they learn you were the
Guard Dog of Stride Bridge,
**[16:49] Rein**
it'll throw the whole town into a panic.
**[16:51] Rein**
So don't you go telling anyone—
**[16:53] Kanade**
Tania?
**[16:55] Tania**
You! Fight me!
**[16:56] Rein**
Hey!
**[16:57] Boy**
What the heck? She's awesome!
**[17:01] Girl**
How do you do it?
**[17:04] Tania**
You wish to know who I really a—
**[17:08] Rein**
Seriously, don't tell anyone
what you really are!
**[17:11] Kanade**
After we worked so hard to hide it...
**[17:14] Tania**
S-Sorry, I forgot.
**[17:19] Rein**
Now, as for what we'll do with you next...
**[17:23] Rein**
Try to get as far from this town as you can.
**[17:27] Tania**
You're sure?
**[17:28] Rein**
Fortunately, word of the Guard Dog of
Stride Bridge hasn't spread very far.
**[17:32] Rein**
Just promise you won't do
anything like that ever again.
**[17:36] Kanade**
Hey, why do you think those guys
wouldn't tell you about Tania?
**[17:40] Rein**
That's a good question.
**[17:41] Rein**
Did you scare them into silence or something?
**[17:43] Tania**
Of course not.
**[17:45] Tania**
Oh, but...
**[17:46] Tania**
They *were* all rather bummed
about losing to a girl.
**[17:50] Rein**
*That's the reason none of them talked?!*
**[17:55] Tania**
You're really not going to take me in?
**[17:58] Rein**
Nah.
**[17:58] Rein**
Just take your training somewhere
you won't make trouble.
**[18:02] Tania**
I s-suppose...
**[18:04] Tania**
Seeing as I couldn't even beat you two,
**[18:07] Tania**
that training couldn't have
been very good for me anyway.
**[18:10] Kanade**
But the dragonoid rule is that
you have to keep training, right?
**[18:15] Tania**
Well, about that...
**[18:18] Tania**
I thought I'd tag along with you guys!
**[18:22] Rein**
Why would you do that?!
**[18:23] Tania**
Seems like hanging out with you
would be pretty good training.
**[18:27] Tania**
Plus, it sounds fun!
**[18:30] Tania**
Besides...
**[18:31] Tania**
Rein, was it?
**[18:32] Tania**
I find that I like you.
**[18:34] Tania**
You protected me back there.
**[18:37] Kanade**
Wait! Get away from my master!
**[18:40] Tania**
What's this, now? Jealous?
**[18:42] Kanade**
O-Of course not!
**[18:44] Kanade**
I just thought Rein seemed bothered, so...
**[18:46] Tania**
It's just a little hug.
**[18:48] Tania**
Nobody likes a girl who won't share.
**[18:50] Rein**
*She's already picking fights...*
**[18:52] Rein**
Well, I don't mind having Tania in our party.
**[18:57] Rein**
What do you think, Kanade?
**[18:59] Kanade**
I... I...
**[19:03] Kanade**
I'm fine with it.
**[19:04] Kanade**
Tania's a little mean,
but I like her just fine.
**[19:07] Tania**
Then, that's that!
**[19:08] Tania**
Well, then, Rein.
**[19:09] Tania**
Form a contract with me!
**[19:12] Tania**
You have a contract with Kanade,
**[19:14] Tania**
so you should form a contract with me, too!
**[19:16] Rein**
R-Right...
**[19:20] Rein**
* I can't believe I'm forming a*
* contract with not only a cat spirit,*
**[19:23] Rein**
*but with a dragonoid, too.*
**[19:32] Rein**
Are you ready?
**[19:33] Tania**
Yes, anytime.
**[19:37] Rein**
My name is Rein Shroud.
**[19:39] Rein**
In establishing this new contract,
a bond is formed.
**[19:43] Rein**
An oath in our hearts, hope in our souls...
**[19:47] Rein**
Your power, in my hand.
**[19:50] Rein**
Speak now your name.
**[19:56] Tania**
Tania.
**[20:11] Tania**
Is it over?
**[20:12] Rein**
Yeah. The contract is sealed.
**[20:14] Kanade**
See? You got a weird pattern
on your hand, right?
**[20:18] Tania**
This?
**[20:21] Tania**
So this is what it feels
like to be tamed, eh?
**[20:24] Tania**
It's strange... it feels like I'd be
connected to Rein no matter where I am.
**[20:30] Tania**
But it's kind of nice.
**[20:33] Rein**
* I feel like I've used up an*
* entire lifetime's worth of luck!*
**[20:36] Tania**
Hey, you!
**[20:38] Tania**
You just got to seal a contract with me!
**[20:40] Tania**
So why do you look so unhappy?
**[20:45] Tania**
Happy to work with you, my master!
**[20:53] Arios**
Damn it!
**[20:54] Arios**
A whole week in the woods for nothing.
**[20:57] Leane**
I'm pooped. I wanna take a bath!
**[21:01] Mina**
Exploring while fighting monsters
is harder than I expected.
**[21:05] Aggath**
And carrying around our provisions was hard.
**[21:07] Aggath**
All jobs we used to have Rein do...
**[21:11] Leane**
Why do I have to do that
piece of trash's job?!
**[21:15] Aggath**
But what can we do about it now?
**[21:17] Mina**
It seems difficult to progress.
**[21:22] Arios**
I know. Let's bring Rein back.
**[21:25] Arios**
We'll say we're sorry,
that we totally didn't mean it.
**[21:29] Arios**
Then he'll come right back.
**[21:32] Arios**
He's stupidly nice anyway.
**[21:36] Arios**
Then, after we clear out the Lost Woods,
**[21:39] Arios**
we'll abandon him again.
**[21:52] Kanade**
I want to look at Rein's face as he sleeps!
**[21:55] Tania**
I don't care! Let me have the bed!
**[21:57] Kanade**
No!
**[21:58] Tania**
You're so stingy!
**[21:59] Kanade**
I said no!
**[22:01] Tania**
And I said you're stingy!

**[00:05] Rein**
* And so, after much ado,*
* Tania joined our party.*
**[00:10] Rein**
*And the first job we took on as a trio was...*
**[00:20] Tania**
No luck. There was just one over here.
**[00:24] Rein**
*...exterminating slimes.*
***SIGN*** Beast Tamer
***SIGN*** F-rank
**[01:57] Rein**
* Slimes themselves are F-rank*
* monsters that anyone can beat...*
***SIGN*** Dragonoid Power
**[02:02] Rein**
* ...which means most adventurers*
* don't bother with them.*
**[02:04] Rein**
* But if they're left untouched for too*
* long, they can turn into a swarm.*
**[02:08] Rein**
* It's common to see these slimes*
* ravaging farmers' fields.*
**[02:13] Kanade**
Slimes, huh?
**[02:15] Tania**
What's this, Kanade?
You afraid of slimes?
**[02:18] Kanade**
No!
**[02:20] Kanade**
I can beat slimes no problem!
**[02:23] Kanade**
But...
**[02:25] Kanade**
I just hate how they're all jiggly and
wiggly and fighting them leaves me all sticky!
**[02:31] Tania**
That *is* the inevitable result
of fighting them physically.
**[02:34] Tania**
I'll just mow them down myself with
my fireballs and flame breath!
**[02:38] Tania**
You can rest easy!
**[02:40] Kanade**
You mean it?!
**[02:41] Kanade**
I can count on you, Tania!
**[02:44] Tania**
Keep it coming! More compliments!
**[02:46] Kanade**
You're amazing, Tania!
You're the best, Tania!
**[02:48] Rein**
* I wasn't sure, at first,*
* if they'd actually get along,*
**[02:52] Rein**
*but I think we might just make it!*
**[02:55] Rein**
Let's see...
**[02:59] Kanade**
Still no slimes!
**[03:02] Rein**
I thought a swarm would be a
little more easily found...
**[03:05] Rein**
Oh, well. We'll try from above.
**[03:08] Kanade & Tania**
From above?
**[03:10] Kanade**
You're going to have the bird look?
**[03:13] Rein**
No. Since I have the two of you here,
**[03:15] Rein**
I thought I'd assimilate
and search around myself.
**[03:17] Tania**
"Assimilate"?
**[03:35] Tania**
Hey!
**[03:36] Kanade**
Rein?
**[03:37] Kanade**
Rein looks like a puppet
with its strings cut!
**[03:40] Tania**
Wh-What happened?!
**[03:42] Rein**
I'm right here, you two!
**[03:45] Kanade**
Rein became a bird!
**[03:48] Rein**
Not quite, I'm afraid...
**[03:50] Rein**
I transferred part of my soul into the bird,
**[03:53] Rein**
and assigned my consciousness to it.
**[03:54] Rein**
It lets me use the bird's body as my own.
**[03:58] Rein**
This is "assimilate,"
one of a beast tamer's skills.
**[04:01] Rein**
In order to converse, I'm using
magic to send out thought waves.
**[04:05] Tania**
Magic...
**[04:07] Kanade**
You can even do that, Rein?
**[04:09] Kanade**
Unbelievable!
**[04:11] Tania**
Yeah.
**[04:12] Tania**
Your abilities are truly exceptional.
**[04:14] Rein**
They are?
**[04:15] Rein**
Most beast tamers—
**[04:17] Kanade & Tania**
—can't do it!
**[04:19] Rein**
I-I'm going to find those slimes!
**[04:22] Rein**
Watch my body in the meantime, okay?
**[04:25] Tania**
Rein sure is something else!
**[04:28] Kanade**
He sure is...
**[04:37] Tania**
There are so many.
**[04:40] Rein**
When I found them,
I felt a chill up my spine.
**[04:43] Kanade**
Let's take care of them!
**[04:44] Tania**
But first...
**[04:46] Tania**
Can you cast spells, Rein?
**[04:49] Rein**
I can cast beginner stuff like Heal and Fireball.
**[04:52] Rein**
I tried to learn long ago, but that
was about all I could handle.
**[04:57] Tania**
I see.
**[04:58] Tania**
In that case...
**[04:59] Tania**
Try attacking those slimes
with your Fireball!
**[05:03] Rein**
Huh? It's not very powerful, though...
**[05:05] Tania**
Just go on! Give it a try!
**[05:07] Rein**
F-Fine! Just don't push me!
**[05:09] Rein**
I'm gonna fall into the slimes!
**[05:15] Rein**
*Let's see.*
**[05:17] Rein**
*Focus magic in your hand...*
**[05:20] Rein**
*Form the magic circle...*
**[05:23] Rein**
*Then...*
**[05:24] Rein**
*let it fly!*
**[05:26] Rein**
Fireball!
**[05:36] Rein**
Wh-What the heck happened?!
**[05:38] Kanade**
It wasn't even a fight!
**[05:40] Tania**
Just as I thought.
**[05:41] Tania**
Your contract with Kanade gave you the
physical abilities of a cat spirit, remember?
**[05:47] Rein**
Right...
**[05:48] Tania**
It stands to reason that your
contract with me would give you
**[05:52] Tania**
the magical abilities of a dragonoid.
**[05:54] Tania**
My fireballs and fire breath
are powered by magic, too.
**[05:58] Tania**
The magic power of the dragonoids
is the second-highest
**[06:01] Tania**
of all of the ultimate species.
**[06:03] Tania**
That power now lives within you!
**[06:06] Rein**
Second-highest... magic power?
**[06:08] Rein**
It's no use. I can't keep
up with what she's saying!
**[06:12] Kanade**
They're back!
**[06:13] Tania**
Good timing. We'll use them for practice.
**[06:16] Tania**
Magic is harder to use
than physical abilities.
**[06:19] Tania**
You still can't control it well, can you?
**[06:22] Rein**
Well, no...
**[06:23] Tania**
I know it might be hard,
**[06:25] Tania**
but give it your best shot.
**[06:27] Tania**
You're our master, after all!
**[06:31] Rein**
*That's right.*
**[06:33] Rein**
* I don't want to be an embarrassment*
* beside my two ultimate species.*
**[06:37] Rein**
*I want to be better!*
**[06:40] Rein**
Tania. Teach me how to use magic!
**[06:43] Tania**
I'm a strict teacher, so you'd better be ready!
**[06:46] Kanade**
Go for it, Rein! Fight!
**[06:49] Rein**
*But the way Tania taught...*
**[06:51] Rein**
Fireball!
**[06:54] Tania**
More focus!
**[06:56] Tania**
Keep that posture steady!
**[07:02] Tania**
There's more coming!
**[07:03] Tania**
Go on! Focus!
**[07:04] Rein**
F-Fireball!
**[07:06] Rein**
*...was seriously harsh...*
**[07:09] Rein**
* But it did teach me to control*
* my magic a lot better!*
**[07:15] Kid B**
Hey, cat lady!
**[07:17] Kid B**
What are you doing?
**[07:19] Kanade**
We finished our job, so we
came to report in about it.
**[07:23] Kid B**
Hey, dragon lady!
**[07:25] Kid B**
What did you beat today?
**[07:26] Tania**
Slimes.
**[07:28] Kid B**
Oh! My mom says they eat the
vegetables in the fields.
**[07:33] Kanade**
They're all gone now, fortunately.
**[07:35] Kanade**
You'll be able to eat lots of veggies now!
**[07:37] Kid B**
Yeah!
**[07:38] Kid B**
But I like meat better.
**[07:40] Tania**
I do, too!
**[07:41] Kanade**
Me, too!
**[07:42] Kid B**
Yay! We're the same!
**[07:46] Rein**
I'm back!
**[07:48] Rein**
We got a pretty big reward for that one.
**[07:59] Rein**
* People accept Tania if we tell them she's*
* a slightly odd girl in a dragonoid costume.*
**[08:05] Rein**
* She still comes close to outing*
* herself now and then, but...*
**[08:08] Rein**
*I think we'll be okay for now.*
**[08:27] Rein**
* I guess ultimate species*
* have ultimate stomachs, too!*
**[08:31] Kanade & Tania**
Thanks for the meal!
**[08:33] Kanade**
I'm so full!
**[08:35] Tania**
Even the food is wonderful in the city.
**[08:37] Rein**
Great work today, you two.
**[08:39] Tania**
Though you're the one who
found *and* beat the slimes.
**[08:44] Rein**
Only because you taught me how to use magic.
**[08:46] Rein**
I really owe you for that.
**[08:48] Tania**
N-No need to thank me.
**[08:51] Tania**
That's just what comrades do.
**[08:53] Rein**
I guess you're right there!
**[08:55] Tania**
Where did you learn beast taming, Rein?
**[08:58] Kanade**
I've been wondering the same thing myself!
**[09:02] Rein**
I don't think it's a particularly
interesting story.
**[09:05] Tania**
Please. Just tell us!
**[09:07] Kanade**
Tell us! Tell us!
**[09:09] Rein**
Okay.
**[09:12] Rein**
I learned beast taming in
the village I came from.
**[09:16] Rein**
A village full of beast tamers.
**[09:19] Rein**
My parents were beast tamers, too.
**[09:24] Rein**
So I can't remember a time when
I wasn't learning beast taming.
**[09:28] Rein**
The insect tamer power I showed to Kanade
**[09:31] Rein**
was also something I learned from
someone else in the village.
**[09:35] Rein**
It was a small village without a name,
**[09:37] Rein**
but it was a good place.
**[09:39] Tania**
*Was*?
**[09:44] Rein**
My hometown...
**[09:46] Rein**
no longer exists.
**[09:51] Kanade**
I... I didn't know it would
be such a serious story.
**[09:55] Kanade**
I'm sorry.
**[09:57] Rein**
Don't worry. I get it.
**[09:59] Kanade**
And... I know it might sound like an excuse,
**[10:02] Kanade**
but I didn't ask out of idle curiosity.
**[10:04] Kanade**
I just wanted to know more about you.
**[10:09] Tania**
I feel the same way Kanade does.
**[10:11] Tania**
I want to know more about you.
**[10:13] Tania**
But...
**[10:16] Tania**
if it's too painful,
you don't have to tell us.
**[10:18] Kanade**
Yeah. I feel the same way!
**[10:22] Rein**
* I understand wanting to know more*
* about your comrades, though.*
**[10:26] Rein**
*Because I'm one of theirs!*
**[10:30] Rein**
I want you both to know.
**[10:32] Rein**
May I tell you more about my past?
**[10:35] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[10:36] Tania**
Yes.
**[10:41] Rein**
It happened when I was 12 years old.
**[10:44] Rein**
My parents were busy that day,
**[10:47] Rein**
so they couldn't watch me at taming practice.
**[10:51] Rein**
I spent the day on the village
outskirts, practicing by myself.
**[11:00] Rein**
I practiced until sunset,
**[11:03] Rein**
and it was only when it got
dark that I could see it...
**[11:07] Rein**
Despite it being nighttime, the sky was red.
**[11:12] Rein**
"Something is wrong."
**[11:14] Rein**
That was the thought racing through
my mind as I ran back to the village.
**[11:19] Rein**
But...
**[11:22] Rein**
by the time I arrived,
**[11:24] Rein**
it was already too late.
**[11:27] Rein**
The village had been attacked by monsters.
**[11:30] Rein**
I was the only survivor.
**[11:35] Rein**
It was then that adventurers, realizing
something was wrong, raced to the scene.
**[11:38] Rein**
They took me into custody.
**[11:42] Rein**
They took me to an inn that
belonged to one of their friends.
**[11:46] Rein**
I had to work to earn my keep.
**[11:50] Rein**
It took all of my effort just to stay alive.
**[11:53] Rein**
And that was my life, for years and years.
**[11:57] Rein**
Until one day, half a year ago...
**[12:02] Rein**
I met Arios and the others.
**[12:06] Tania**
Arios?
**[12:07] Rein**
The Hero.
**[12:09] Rein**
Arios happened to be looking for comrades.
**[12:12] Rein**
He invited me to join their party.
**[12:15] Rein**
I agreed without a second thought.
**[12:17] Rein**
I thought that being part of the Hero's
party would let me make a difference,
**[12:22] Rein**
that I could perhaps prevent another tragedy like that of my hometown,
**[12:27] Rein**
but the reality was very different.
**[12:35] Rein**
I think Arios just wanted to use me.
**[12:43] Rein**
I'm sorry.
**[12:43] Rein**
I guess this got a little dark.
**[12:46] Rein**
I feel kind of pathetic...
**[12:51] Rein**
Kanade?
**[12:52] Kanade**
I've been wondering about that for a while.
**[12:56] Kanade**
When we went after the bandits,
**[12:59] Kanade**
when we fought the king lizard,
**[13:02] Kanade**
and when you saved me,
it was always the same...
**[13:05] Kanade**
Why did you always rush
headfirst into danger?
**[13:10] Kanade**
Where did you find the courage
to do so much to help others?
**[13:15] Kanade**
Now I finally see.
**[13:19] Kanade**
You just really want to help people.
**[13:22] Kanade**
You don't want anyone to
experience the same sadness you have.
**[13:29] Kanade**
That's not pathetic at all!
**[13:32] Rein**
Kanade...
**[13:36] Tania**
You're too kind for your own good.
**[13:38] Tania**
You're far too self-effacing,
and far too earnest.
**[13:41] Tania**
It's the worst case I've ever seen, honestly.
**[13:45] Tania**
But... it's not necessarily a negative.
**[13:48] Tania**
Wh-What I'm saying is, I'm proud
to have a master like you.
**[13:54] Kanade**
Yeah.
**[13:55] Kanade**
That's just who you are, Rein!
**[13:59] Rein**
*The way I am...*
**[14:01] Rein**
*The time I've spent...*
**[14:03] Rein**
*I feel like it's all been affirmed.*
**[14:07] Rein**
You guys...
**[14:11] Tania**
Although...
**[14:12] Tania**
I've never heard of anyone
stupider than that Hero's party!
**[14:15] Tania**
You worked so hard to help and support them,
**[14:17] Tania**
and they called you useless?!
**[14:19] Tania**
It ticks me off so bad!
**[14:21] Kanade**
You said it!
**[14:22] Kanade**
I bet they're really struggling
without you right now!
**[14:25] Rein**
Thanks for getting mad on my behalf...
**[14:27] Rein**
But I've moved on, I swear!
**[14:29] Tania**
I-It's not all about you, you know!
**[14:31] Tania**
It's just so cruel!
**[14:33] Kanade**
You're nice deep down, Tania!
**[14:35] Tania**
Cut it out!
**[14:37] Kanade**
Someone's blushing!
**[14:38] Tania**
No! I'm not blushing!
**[14:43] Rein**
*I'd love things to remain just the three of us.*
**[14:52] Kanade**
Hey, hey!
**[14:53] Kanade**
Let's compete to see who can defeat more!
**[14:55] Tania**
Goodness! Challenging me to a
duel is a foolish thing indeed!
**[14:59] Tania**
But very well...
**[15:01] Tania**
I accept your challenge!
**[15:06] Tania**
Well?
**[15:08] Rein**
*Our job this time is slaying orcs.*
**[15:11] Rein**
*Orcs are E-rank monsters,*
**[15:13] Rein**
* and they aren't much physically*
* stronger than goblins.*
**[15:16] Rein**
*But orcs are much smarter,*
**[15:19] Rein**
*and they tend to fight with weapons.*
**[15:25] Tania**
We might complete this challenge lickety-split!
**[15:29] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[15:30] Rein**
Don't let your guard down, you two.
**[15:33] Rein**
We're still new at this, after all.
**[15:36] Rein**
Even against orcs, there's always a chance—
**[15:37] Tania**
No worries there!
**[15:39] Tania**
I, Tania of the dragonoids, would never
be defeated by a mere band of orcs!
**[15:44] Tania**
Now, let's try this way!
**[15:45] Kanade**
Wait for me!
**[15:46] Rein**
I hope it all goes as easy
as she thinks it will...
**[15:56] Kanade**
Tania! He's coming for you!
**[15:57] Tania**
I've got it handled!
**[16:06] Tania**
Far too easy!
**[16:10] Tania**
Oh? Did we miss one?
**[16:17] Tania**
Hey! What's he doing?
**[16:19] Tania**
Let go of me!
**[16:28] Kanade**
Tania, behind you!
**[16:32] Tania**
Rein!
**[16:34] Kanade**
Take this!
**[16:38] Tania**
What do I do?!
**[16:39] Tania**
You're bleeding so much...
**[16:40] Rein**
Don't worry.
**[16:41] Rein**
I told you I could use Heal.
**[16:44] Rein**
And I have your magic powering it now, so...
**[16:47] Rein**
Heal!
**[16:52] Rein**
See? All back to normal!
**[16:54] Rein**
I'm just fine, see?
**[16:55] Rein**
Don't look so upset, Tania.
**[16:57] Tania**
But... it was all my fault...
**[16:59] Kanade**
You're really fine? It doesn't hurt?
**[17:02] Rein**
Just fine.
**[17:03] Rein**
Thanks, both of you.
**[17:06] Rein**
Let's gather up the rune stones
and get back to the Guild.
**[17:08] Kanade**
Roger!
**[17:09] Kanade**
You rest, Rein. I'll gather them up!
**[17:12] Rein**
I told you, I'm fine!
**[17:22] Rein**
Sorry for the wait.
**[17:23] Rein**
Huh?
**[17:24] Rein**
Where's Tania?
**[17:26] Kanade**
She was here a minute ago, but...
**[17:28] Kanade**
She seemed a little down...
**[17:32] Kanade**
It felt like... she wanted to be alone.
**[17:40] Tania**
What was I thinking?
**[17:44] Kid B**
Hey, dragon lady!
**[17:48] Kid B**
Hey, what did you beat today?
**[17:52] Tania**
I didn't beat anything today.
**[17:54] Kid B**
Really?
**[17:56] Tania**
Yes, really.
**[17:58] Kid B**
Hey, does it hurt anywhere?
**[18:02] Kid B**
If it hurts, you gotta say so.
**[18:05] Kid B**
That's what my mom always tells me!
**[18:07] Tania**
I see.
**[18:09] Tania**
Your mother is very wise.
**[18:11] Kid B**
Except when she tells me to eat vegetables.
**[18:14] Tania**
I do appreciate the concern.
**[18:17] Tania**
I'm fine, I promise.
**[18:18] Kid B**
Okay, great!
**[18:20] Kid B**
See ya!
**[18:23] Tania**
He was... worried about me, wasn't he?
**[18:28] Tania**
But I refused to listen.
**[18:30] Tania**
I was so high on my own status
as an ultimate species...
**[18:34] Tania**
I let my guard down.
**[18:38] Tania**
How can I ever show my
face to you again, Rein?
**[18:42] Rein**
Tania.
**[18:45] Tania**
R-Rein?
**[18:47] Rein**
What's the matter?
**[18:48] Tania**
Well... er... I...
**[18:52] Tania**
I'm so sorry about before!
**[18:54] Tania**
Y-You were trying to warn me,
**[18:57] Tania**
but I let my guard down,
**[18:59] Tania**
and got you hurt in the process...
**[19:01] Tania**
I know the Heal spell fixed the problem,
**[19:03] Tania**
but if things had gone a bit differently...
**[19:06] Tania**
So, please...
**[19:08] Tania**
accept my apolo—
**[19:10] Rein**
Is that what this is about?
**[19:14] Tania**
Why aren't you angry?
**[19:17] Rein**
Well... you're sorry, aren't you?
**[19:19] Rein**
As long as you're more
careful next time, I'm okay.
**[19:21] Rein**
I'm just glad you're safe.
**[19:25] Rein**
Kanade was worried, you know?
**[19:28] Kanade**
Tania! Are you okay?
**[19:30] Tania**
I-I'm fine.
**[19:32] Kanade**
Okay! I'm so glad!
**[19:42] Rein**
Hey, has that room opened up yet?
**[19:44] Inkeeper Lady**
I'm afraid not!
**[19:46] Rein**
Just one more room, please...
**[19:48] Rein**
Even a small one, please...
**[19:49] Tania**
*He didn't scold me for my mistake.*
**[19:49] Inkeeper Lady**
Just give it your best!
**[19:51] Rein**
Seriously, I want a room!
**[19:52] Tania**
*He didn't get angry, either.*
**[19:55] Tania**
*He was just happy I'm safe.*
**[20:06] Tania**
*A curious person.*
**[20:08] Tania**
*He lets us use the beds, as well.*
**[20:11] Tania**
* Though it must be hard*
* to sleep there, I'm sure.*
**[20:14] Tania**
*He's too kind for his own good, but...*
**[20:17] (Flashback) Rein**
I'm just glad you're safe.
**[20:20] Tania**
*Why is it?*
**[20:21] Tania**
*Why can't I stop thinking about Rein?*
**[20:24] Tania**
*I feel this warmth in my heart...*
**[20:28] Tania**
*What's going through my head now?!*
**[20:32] Tania**
* It's almost like I'm...*
* My feelings for Rein are...*
**[20:38] Kanade**
Fishy, fishy...
**[20:40] Tania**
No, absolutely not!
**[20:41] Tania**
It can't be true!
**[20:43] Tania**
Th-That's right...
**[20:44] Tania**
I'm just rather fond of him.
That's all it is.
**[20:49] Tania**
I-I'm not that easy to win over, you know!
**[20:53] Tania**
And... don't shake off your covers.
**[21:03] Tania**
Good night, Rein.
**[21:10] Kanade**
More reward! More food!
**[21:12] Rein**
What song is that?
**[21:15] Kanade**
The "successful job" song!
**[21:18] Tania**
We've certainly been breezing
through the jobs of late.
**[21:22] Tania**
Might it be time to buy new equipment?
**[21:25] Tania**
As ultimate species,
we don't need any ourselves,
**[21:28] Tania**
but you're still just a human.
**[21:32] Rein**
Maybe I'll have a look around
once we're back in town.
**[21:34] Tania**
I approve!
**[21:36] Kanade**
What about food?
**[21:37] Rein**
We'll get food first.
**[21:39] Kanade**
Hooray!
**[21:40] Kanade**
Let's go fast!
**[21:41] Rein**
Of course, of course.
**[21:45] Kanade**
Rein?
**[21:52] Arios**
Hey, there.
**[22:00] Arios**
Been a while, Rein.

**[00:03] Rein**
*There are times when it feels like a dream.*
**[00:11] Rein**
*When I was kicked out of the Hero's party,*
**[00:14] Rein**
* I never thought I'd ever*
* smile like this again.*
**[00:21] Rein**
* To think that these wonderful*
* days might continue forever...*
**[00:26] Arios**
Hey, there.
**[00:27] Arios**
Been a while, Rein.
**[00:31] Arios**
Have you been well?
***SIGN*** Beast Tamer
***SIGN*** Beast Tamer VS Hero
**[02:17] Rein**
We'll walk home this way, you two.
**[02:22] Arios**
Hey, now.
**[02:23] Arios**
Don't be so cold.
**[02:26] Arios**
We were comrades once, after all.
**[02:29] Arios**
And we're sorry about what happened.
**[02:31] Arios**
Even if you are useless,
**[02:34] Arios**
we could have been gentler with our phrasing.
**[02:39] Arios**
Rein.
**[02:40] Tania**
Hey.
**[02:41] Tania**
You said you were comrades.
**[02:43] Tania**
Am I to assume you're the Hero's party, then?
**[02:46] Arios**
I have no business with—
**[02:49] Arios**
A cat spirit and...
**[02:51] Arios**
I-Is that a dragonoid?
**[02:53] Arios**
What are ultimate species doing here?
**[02:56] Kanade**
What do you think?
**[02:57] Kanade**
We're Rein's comrades.
**[02:59] Arios**
I-Impossible!
**[03:01] Arios**
Oh, I see...
**[03:03] Arios**
The talentless Rein has
chosen to serve you, then?
**[03:06] Kanade**
Hey, don't you dare!
**[03:08] Kanade**
Rein is our master!
**[03:12] Aggath**
U-Unbelievable.
**[03:14] Leane**
That piece of trash is
training ultimate species?
**[03:20] Rein**
You came here to ask me something, right?
**[03:23] Arios**
Yes.
**[03:24] Arios**
We have an offer you'll find very appealing.
**[03:27] Arios**
You're aware of the Lost Woods?
**[03:30] Rein**
Yeah. The preliminary scouting and
preparation to take them on was my last job.
**[03:35] Arios**
I'm afraid taking them on has proved
more difficult than anticipated.
**[03:40] Arios**
As time passes in the Lost Woods,
the paths change,
**[03:44] Arios**
and your destination grows more distant.
**[03:46] Arios**
They act, as their name
suggests, like a maze.
**[03:48] Arios**
There's only so much the
four of us can carry inside,
**[03:52] Arios**
and we were forced to withdraw
after just one week.
**[03:57] Arios**
Therefore, Rein,
**[03:58] Arios**
we'd like to ask *you*
to help us complete them.
**[04:02] Rein**
What?!
**[04:03] Arios**
Well, the beasts you can
tame can easily handle
**[04:06] Arios**
the forest exploration and
the transport of materials.
**[04:10] Rein**
You... really think I'd agree to that?
**[04:14] Rein**
* After you kicked me out*
* of the party like that?*
**[04:17] Arios**
You should be honored to
contribute to the Hero's party.
**[04:21] Arios**
Don't you guys agree?
**[04:23] Aggath**
He might be useless in combat,
**[04:25] Aggath**
but I guess he has a few uses.
**[04:27] Mina**
Indeed.
**[04:28] Mina**
Surely even God would acknowledge that.
**[04:30] Leane**
You should be grateful we're giving
your pathetic self another chance.
**[04:36] Arios**
Rein, you heard the others.
**[04:39] Arios**
You'll help us, won't you?
**[04:41] Rein**
Sorry, but no.
**[04:42] Rein**
Ask someone else.
**[04:44] Rein**
Sorry for the wait, you two.
**[04:46] Tania**
It's not nice to keep
beautiful girls waiting.
**[04:49] Kanade**
I don't mind one bit!
**[04:51] Mina**
Wait a minute!
**[04:52] Mina**
Rein.
**[04:53] Mina**
What we're doing is essential
to saving the world.
**[04:57] Mina**
Deep in the Lost Woods lies one of the noble
relics needed to defeat the Demon King,
**[05:03] Mina**
the Shield of Truth.
**[05:04] Rein**
Noble relics?
**[05:06] Rein**
Is there really...
**[05:07] Arios**
Oh, right. We forgot to pass that on.
**[05:11] Mina**
If we can't acquire the noble relics,
we won't be able to defeat the Demon King,
**[05:15] Mina**
and monsters will run rampant over the world.
**[05:17] Mina**
The powerful will be able
to stand against them then,
**[05:20] Mina**
but what of the ordinary
people in the cities?
**[05:27] Rein**
*If monsters run rampant over the world...*
**[05:32] Rein**
*The same fate*
**[05:35] Rein**
*might befall somewhere else...*
**[05:44] Rein**
*But...*
**[05:56] Rein**
Fine. I'll do it.
**[06:00] Arios**
You should've agreed from the start.
**[06:03] Leane**
Why does that dummy take
so long with everything?
**[06:06] Aggath**
For pity's sake.
**[06:07] Mina**
You've wasted our valuable time.
**[06:11] Arios**
Now, let's head elsewhere and
discuss the particulars—
**[06:14] Kanade & Tania**
Wait just one minute!
**[06:19] Arios**
Can I help you?
**[06:21] Kanade**
I'd like to argue,
**[06:23] Kanade**
but if Rein wants to do this,
I have to let him.
**[06:26] Kanade**
But first...
**[06:30] Kanade**
Apologize properly to Rein!
**[06:34] Arios**
What a strange thing to say.
**[06:36] Arios**
I believe I did apologize, didn't I?
**[06:38] Kanade**
That wasn't a real apology!
**[06:40] Tania**
The fact of the matter is, you fired the man,
**[06:44] Tania**
and now you're asking him to do you a favor.
**[06:46] Tania**
I believe such acts call for
a more appropriate demeanor.
**[06:50] Tania**
In other words...
**[06:52] Tania**
Grovel, if you please.
**[06:57] Tania**
What's the problem?
**[06:57] Tania**
Given how annoying you are, I'd much
prefer to fry you with my Breath.
**[07:02] Tania**
But I know my master would
be angry if I went that far.
**[07:07] Tania**
So if you'll just press those empty
heads of yours to the ground and beg,
**[07:11] Tania**
I might be willing to spare you.
**[07:12] Arios**
Did you say "grovel"?
**[07:15] Arios**
You expect *me* to...
**[07:17] Arios**
Don't be stupid!
**[07:19] Arios**
*Me*, the Hero, Arios?
**[07:22] Arios**
You expect me to grovel
to that incompetent man?
**[07:25] Arios**
I refuse to do anything so foolish!
**[07:27] Aggath**
He's right.
**[07:29] Aggath**
We haven't done anything wrong!
**[07:31] Leane**
I, the great Leane,
would never be caught groveling!
**[07:34] Mina**
It is indeed an unpleasant proposition.
**[07:36] Arios**
Hey, Rein!
**[07:37] Arios**
You're a negligent master!
**[07:40] Arios**
You need to keep your pets on a tighter leash!
**[07:43] Rein**
Pets?
**[07:44] Arios**
Yeah, pets!
**[07:46] Arios**
I think spending too much time with
non-humans has made you crazy.
**[07:50] Arios**
Even if they're ultimate species,
they're still not human!
**[07:53] Arios**
What's wrong with referring to
human-looking *animals* as pets?!
**[07:59] Arios**
Though, I'll admit they're good-looking...
**[08:02] Arios**
Admit it. You're keeping
them as pets, not comrades.
**[08:11] Arios**
I get it now!
**[08:12] Arios**
He's hot for animals!
**[08:15] Arios**
Makes sense for a beast—
**[08:27] Arios**
D-Damn you... Rein...
**[08:30] Arios**
You hit *me*?
**[08:32] Arios**
A pathetic beast tamer
**[08:35] Arios**
struck *me*, the Hero?!
**[08:37] Rein**
I'll do it again and again.
**[08:40] Rein**
Kanade and Tania are my precious comrades.
**[08:44] Rein**
Make a mockery of them,
**[08:46] Rein**
and pay the price!
**[08:47] Arios**
Pay the price, eh?
**[08:49] Arios**
Very well...
**[08:51] Arios**
Then why don't we make things
clear once and for all?
**[08:58] Arios**
My party and your "comrades"...
**[09:01] Arios**
Which is stronger?
**[09:03] Rein**
Right.
**[09:25] Rein & Arios**
Fight!
**[09:29] Aggath**
So I'm up against you?
**[09:31] Aggath**
Perfect.
**[09:32] Aggath**
I've been hoping to cross blades
with an ultimate species lately.
**[09:42] Kanade**
I'm gonna beat you black and blue
and make you say sorry to Rein!
**[09:46] Aggath**
There's no reason I should
ever apologize to him.
**[09:48] Aggath**
The Hero's party has no need for weaklings.
**[09:52] Kanade**
Oh, really?
**[09:53] Kanade**
Then... you'd better get ready!
**[09:58] Aggath**
She's fast!
**[10:00] Kanade**
There's more where that came from!
**[10:05] Aggath**
*This woman...*
**[10:06] Aggath**
* She's not just fast.*
* Every single blow hits like a hammer!*
**[10:10] Aggath**
*She's going to force me back!*
**[10:12] Kanade**
What, not gonna strike back?
**[10:14] Kanade**
I guess the Hero's party
isn't as great as they say!
**[10:17] Aggath**
Don't mock me...
**[10:18] Aggath**
you brat!
**[10:24] Aggath**
Take this!
**[10:25] Aggath**
Secret technique!
Hellfire and Brimstone Slash!
**[10:30] Aggath**
*She deflected it?!*
**[10:31] Aggath**
*That strike can pulverize steel,*
**[10:34] Aggath**
*yet she just batted it away like a fly...*
**[10:38] Kanade**
What a silly guy.
**[10:39] Kanade**
You talked like it was
some big, bad technique,
**[10:41] Kanade**
so I thought it would be serious,
**[10:43] Kanade**
but I barely felt it.
**[10:45] Kanade**
What a let-down!
**[10:47] Aggath**
Since we need Rein's help,
**[10:50] Aggath**
I was holding off on killing you, but...
**[10:55] Aggath**
Sorry, but I'm about to
show you all I've got.
**[10:58] Aggath**
Don't blame me if you die!
**[11:00] Kanade**
All you've got, huh?
**[11:02] Kanade**
Then, I guess I'll...
**[11:06] Kanade**
Unleash about half of what I've got, maybe?
**[11:08] Aggath**
*Wh-What?!*
**[11:15] Kanade**
After all, if you're gonna go all-out,
**[11:16] Kanade**
I guess I ought to care a *little*...
**[11:20] Kanade**
So... if you get hurt,
it's nothing personal, okay?
**[11:25] Aggath**
* She hasn't even been using*
* half of her strength?*
**[11:29] Aggath**
*It can't be true...*
**[11:31] Aggath**
*It's impossible!*
**[11:32] Aggath**
*And yet... if it's true...*
**[11:37] Aggath**
* No matter what I do,*
* there's no way I can win!*
**[11:40] Kanade**
Here I go!
**[11:42] Aggath**
Why?
**[11:43] Aggath**
Why is someone so strong
**[11:45] Aggath**
serving that pathetic, little weakling?!
**[11:50] Kanade**
Isn't that obvious?
**[11:52] Kanade**
Because Rein is way,
way stronger than you guys!
**[11:57] Aggath**
D-Don't—
**[12:12] Kanade**
I guess I overdid it a little!
**[12:15] Kanade**
No, it's okay!
**[12:16] Kanade**
I mean, the way he made fun
of Rein made me seriously mad!
**[12:19] Kanade**
How about you learn better, okay?
**[12:24] Tania**
Oh? So I'll be fighting you two, will I?
**[12:28] Tania**
I would have preferred to fight that Hero,
**[12:30] Tania**
but I'll let Rein snatch the glory there.
**[12:33] Leane**
You might want to watch
that attitude of yours.
**[12:35] Mina**
How dare you speak of Arios that way?!
**[12:37] Tania**
It's just that you two seem so easily beaten!
**[12:42] Leane**
This wretched, little lizard...
**[12:44] Leane**
You'll be regretting those words soon enough.
**[12:46] Mina**
We'll see about that.
**[12:49] Leane**
Now behold my thousand-spell repertoire!
**[12:53] Leane**
Feel the gravity of a star in your body!
**[12:55] Mina**
Gather, cleansing light.
**[12:59] Leane**
Gravity Burst!
**[12:59] Mina**
Holy Flare!
**[13:07] Mina**
Our spells disappeared?!
**[13:13] Tania**
You two! If only you could
see the looks on your faces!
**[13:17] Tania**
How amusing!
**[13:18] Tania**
I thought you were going to try to beat me!
**[13:21] Leane**
Mina, let's work together again!
**[13:23] Mina**
Right!
**[13:25] Leane**
*There must be some cheap trick behind it.*
**[13:27] Leane**
*Dragonoid or whatever she is,*
**[13:29] Leane**
*the same trick won't work on me twice!*
**[13:32] Leane**
Red Crimson!
**[13:32] Mina**
Judgment Arrow!
**[13:35] Tania**
It'll turn out the same way each time.
**[13:41] Leane**
A-Again?
**[13:42] Mina**
How...
**[13:44] Leane**
What did you do?!
**[13:45] Tania**
Material Canceler.
**[13:47] Tania**
It analyzes a spell at the fundamental level
**[13:50] Tania**
and hits it with an appropriate
wave of magic to cancel it out.
**[13:56] Tania**
In other words,
**[13:58] Tania**
your spells can't possibly work on me.
**[14:02] Leane**
This is ridiculous!
**[14:04] Leane**
How dare a mere lizard look
down on humans like us?!
**[14:07] Mina**
The Hero's party fears nothing!
**[14:09] Mina**
It has the protection of God!
**[14:13] Leane**
Dragoon Howling!
**[14:15] Mina**
Whiteout!
**[14:18] Leane**
Ignito Javelin!
**[14:20] Mina**
Icicle Lance!
**[14:22] Leane**
Gale Storm!
**[14:24] Mina**
Wind Cutter!
**[14:27] Leane**
I am... the ultimate mage...
**[14:30] Leane**
with a thousand spells!
**[14:33] Mina**
Foolish one.
**[14:35] Mina**
Bow before the power of God!
**[14:38] Tania**
Thousand spells? Power of God?
**[14:40] Tania**
How ridiculous.
**[14:42] Tania**
Rein, you know, will tame
ten thousand beasts...
**[14:45] Tania**
And some day, he may even tame God.
**[14:49] Leane**
Wisdom of black and white, devour all!
**[14:53] Leane**
Double Disaster!
**[14:56] Mina**
Flame, burn and burst!
**[14:58] Mina**
Fireball!
**[15:03] Tania**
Goodness gracious.
**[15:04] Tania**
Lost your nerve at last?
**[15:07] Tania**
I'm no fan of stomping on the weak myself...
**[15:10] Tania**
But I'm afraid...
**[15:12] Tania**
You seem to be under the
impression you can get away
**[15:15] Tania**
with mocking my master without consequence.
**[15:21] Tania**
As a special gift, I'll show you true magic.
**[15:24] Tania**
Not that pitiful advanced magic,
**[15:27] Tania**
but the next level up, epic magic.
**[15:30] Tania**
You have earned the wrath of God.
**[15:33] Tania**
Such sins are eternal.
**[15:35] Tania**
Let the power of heaven
crush your very souls.
**[15:37] Mina**
Wh-What's going on?
**[15:38] Mina**
What is she doing?
**[15:41] Leane**
M-Mina... look up!
**[15:47] Leane**
How in the world do we...
**[15:51] Tania**
I offer you this fine demise.
**[15:54] Tania**
Ultimate End.
**[16:01] Tania**
Kindly accept it.
**[16:06] Mina**
L-Leane! Fight back! Take her down!
**[16:09] Leane**
L-Like hell I can!
**[16:10] Leane**
You do it!
**[16:11] Mina**
I can't do it, either!
**[16:12] Leane**
I a-a-apologize!
**[16:14] Leane**
Please, forgive us!
**[16:15] Mina**
Oh, God! Please, God!
**[16:17] Tania**
Ba-boom!
**[16:22] Tania**
Aw, I was just kiddin'!
**[16:25] Tania**
Gracious, try to have some dignity.
**[16:28] Tania**
You shouldn't take a mere bluff so seriously.
**[16:32] Tania**
Or perhaps I'll do it for real?
**[16:34] Tania**
No, I don't want to upset Rein.
**[16:38] Tania**
You should celebrate your good fortune!
**[16:43] Arios**
It was foolish for you to turn on the Hero.
**[16:47] Arios**
Rein.
**[16:49] Arios**
Not only did you slap away my merciful
offer to make use of a useless beast tamer,
**[16:55] Arios**
you're actually turning on me?
**[16:57] Arios**
I'll see to it that—
**[17:00] Arios**
Damn you!
**[17:01] Arios**
I was talking there!
**[17:04] Rein**
And I don't want to hear any of it.
**[17:07] Arios**
Is that so?
**[17:08] Arios**
In that case...
**[17:09] Arios**
I'll put an end to this!
**[17:14] Rein**
*He's fast!*
**[17:15] Rein**
* Every time I dodge, he changes his*
* blade's arc to drive me further back...*
**[17:20] Rein**
* Facing him as an enemy,*
* I'm forced to realize it anew...*
**[17:23] Rein**
*The Hero's swordplay is truly impressive!*
**[17:27] Arios**
What's wrong with you now?!
**[17:29] Arios**
You can't put a scratch on
me if you keep running away!
**[17:35] Rein**
*The chosen Hero...*
**[17:36] Rein**
*He should be an unspeakably powerful foe...*
**[17:39] Rein**
*Why, then?*
**[17:41] Rein**
* Why do I feel none of the desperation*
* I felt when I faced Tania?*
**[17:46] Rein**
*He's the Hero, but...*
**[17:48] Rein**
Is this all you've got?
**[17:50] Arios**
He blocked my a—
**[17:57] Arios**
*Where did he get this inhuman strength?!*
**[18:00] Arios**
*A mere beast tamer shouldn't be able to—*
**[18:06] Arios**
*It's not just strength!*
**[18:07] Arios**
*He never moved like this before!*
**[18:10] Arios**
*How?*
**[18:12] Arios**
How can you do that?!
**[18:14] Rein**
You want to know?
**[18:16] Rein**
This is all the power of the beast
tamer that you previously mocked.
**[18:20] Rein**
The strength of my attacks were earned
through my contract with Kanade.
**[18:24] Rein**
And the reason your attacks can't hit me
**[18:27] Rein**
is because of the training I did as
a beast tamer to study my targets.
**[18:33] Rein**
Since this battle began...
**[18:35] Rein**
No, since long ago,
I've been watching you fight.
**[18:39] Rein**
How many steps you take before you swing,
**[18:41] Rein**
the turn of your gaze
when going for a feint...
**[18:43] Arios**
Be quiet!
**[18:44] Rein**
I already know your attack
patterns to some degree.
**[18:47] Rein**
And my own strikes
**[18:50] Rein**
are backed by the power of a cat spirit!
**[18:54] Rein**
There's no way you can win in a fair fight.
**[18:57] Rein**
Admit defeat, Arios.
**[19:04] Arios**
You really are stupid!
**[19:06] Arios**
Have you forgotten?
**[19:08] Arios**
I have the Hero's special magic!
**[19:11] Arios**
I'll fry you to charcoal,
you useless beast tamer!
**[19:15] Rein**
Fireball!
**[19:15] Arios**
Giga Volt!
**[19:17] Arios**
You don't have the power to—
**[19:22] Arios**
Mere novice magic canceled
out my lightning magic?!
**[19:27] Rein**
*A Fireball backed by Tania's magic power*
**[19:30] Rein**
*is a match for even advanced magic!*
**[19:33] Arios**
I don't know what little
trick you used there,
**[19:35] Arios**
but it won't change my advantage!
**[19:38] Arios**
I believe Fireball and Heal are
the only spells at your disposal.
**[19:42] Arios**
I might not be Leane's equal...
**[19:44] Arios**
But I still have a variety
of spells at my disposal!
**[19:51] Arios**
How long can you hold me
off with that novice magic?
**[19:55] Rein**
* It certainly would be hard to hold*
* him off with just two novice spells.*
**[19:59] Rein**
*But the way I really fight is...*
**[20:02] Arios**
Can you afford to be looking away right now?
**[20:04] Arios**
Now, let's end—
**[20:09] Arios**
What's going on?
**[20:12] Arios**
M-My body's... numb...
**[20:15] Rein**
I believe I told you once, Arios,
**[20:19] Rein**
that I can tame insects, as well.
**[20:22] Rein**
This is an ahrbee.
**[20:23] Rein**
It's a bee with a paralytic sting.
**[20:26] Arios**
Wh-When did you...
**[20:28] Rein**
I tamed it during a free moment in the fight.
**[20:31] Rein**
While moving around, I sent out my thoughts,
**[20:33] Rein**
found the creature I wanted,
**[20:35] Rein**
and forged a remote temporary contract.
**[20:38] Arios**
How... can this possibly...
**[20:41] Rein**
You were wrong when you decided
beast tamers were useless.
**[20:44] Rein**
Now you've lost, Arios.
**[20:48] Rein**
Now, I'm sorry to say,
**[20:50] Rein**
but I'm still quite angry over
how you mocked Kanade and Tania.
**[20:56] Arios**
W-Wait, please!
**[20:58] Arios**
I may have misunderstood a few things,
**[21:00] Arios**
but... Rein!
**[21:01] Arios**
We traveled together! We were comrades!
**[21:04] Arios**
Weren't we? Well?!
**[21:08] Arios**
I g-get it!
**[21:10] Arios**
I give up!
**[21:11] Arios**
Please, forgive me!
**[21:12] Arios**
P-Please, spare me!
**[21:14] Rein**
Now...
**[21:16] Rein**
This ends.
**[21:26] Rein**
Obviously, if I'd really
hit you, you'd be dead.
**[21:30] Rein**
I'll let you off with that.
**[21:34] Rein**
They say revenge is an empty pursuit,
**[21:36] Rein**
but boy, do I feel better right now!
**[21:39] Tania & Kanade**
Rein!
**[21:41] Tania & Kanade**
Hey!
**[21:43] Rein**
Kanade! Tania!

**[00:03] Kanade**
So these are the Lost Woods?
**[00:07] Kanade**
It's kind of...
**[00:09] Kanade**
dreary, wouldn't you say?
**[00:11] Tania**
Indeed. They're dark even in midday.
**[00:15] Tania**
What would you say to burning
the entire place down?
**[00:18] Rein**
You know we can't do that!
**[00:20] Rein**
These woods are a fully inhabited ecosystem!
**[00:23] Tania**
I-I didn't seriously mean it.
**[00:25] Tania**
So it's deep within these woods, is it?
**[00:28] Rein**
Yeah.
**[00:29] Rein**
The Shield of Truth,
which only the Hero can wield...
***SIGN*** Beast Tamer
***SIGN*** The Lost Woods
***SIGN*** The Lost Woods
**[02:09] Rein**
They say the Lost Woods
are in a state of constant, rapid growth.
**[02:14] Rein**
I'll bet the map Arios's party made
is totally worthless now.
**[02:19] Tania**
But we definitely have to
find the item within?
**[02:22] Rein**
We definitely have to.
**[02:23] Rein**
That's our current job, after all.
**[02:26] (Flashback) Arios/Aggath/Mina/Leane**
W...
**[02:28] (Flashback) Arios/Aggath/Mina/Leane**
We're sorry.
**[02:30] (Flashback) Tania**
You call that an apology?
**[02:32] (Flashback) Tania**
You don't look sorry to me!
**[02:34] (Flashback) Tania**
I think you'd better try to sound
a little more sincere!
**[02:36] (Flashback) Arios/Aggath/Mina/Leane**
W-We're sorry!
**[02:38] (Flashback) Tania**
I still can't hear you!
**[02:39] (Flashback) Arios/Aggath/Mina/Leane**
We're sorry!
**[02:42] (Flashback) Kanade**
Should we forgive them?
**[02:43] (Flashback) Rein**
Yeah.
**[02:44] (Flashback) Rein**
I've gotten it out of my system.
**[02:46] (Flashback) Rein**
I'd say we can put this behind us.
**[02:48] (Flashback) Rein**
Agreed?
**[02:51] (Flashback) Arios**
Very well.
**[02:52] (Flashback) Arios**
I accept your request.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Arios**
Now, let's get to the issue.
**[02:57] (Flashback) Arios**
Apparently, the Shield of Truth
is in the possession of monsters
**[03:00] (Flashback) Arios**
that dwell in the deepest depths
of the Lost Woods.
**[03:02] (Flashback) Arios**
It's indispensable
for defeating the Demon King.
**[03:05] (Flashback) Arios**
We must acquire it as swiftly as possible.
**[03:08] (Flashback) Arios**
For me, the Hero.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Arios**
The fate of the world is at stake.
**[03:13] (Flashback) Arios**
I don't see how you could possibly refuse.
**[03:16] (Flashback) Tania**
Is he attempting to order us around?
**[03:17] (Flashback) Kanade**
I bet he's not really sorry!
**[03:20] (Flashback) Rein**
Hey, hold it, you two.
**[03:23] (Flashback) Rein**
Let's take the job.
**[03:29] Rein**
*I said we'd take the job, but...*
**[03:32] Kanade**
Hey, are you really going to help that Hero?
**[03:36] Kanade**
I don't like this one bit!
**[03:38] Tania**
I very much agree!
**[03:40] Tania**
I don't need those fools' help!
I could defeat the Demon King all on my own!
**[03:45] Tania**
I'm not saying that
because I'm worried about you, Rein!
**[03:48] Kanade**
Rein, are you sure you're okay with this?
**[03:57] Tania**
Why did you just start rubbing our heads?!
**[03:59] Rein**
S-Sorry, I wasn't thinking!
**[04:01] Kanade**
Th-That's okay...
**[04:03] Rein**
I was happy to see you guys
get mad on my behalf.
**[04:09] Kanade**
Rein...
**[04:10] Rein**
But I think we need to help Arios.
**[04:12] Rein**
He's the only one
who can defeat the Demon King.
**[04:16] Rein**
Sorry to drag you along
with this unpleasantness, though.
**[04:19] Tania**
I've come this far with you, after all.
**[04:21] Tania**
You're too kind for your own good,
so it's my duty to look after you.
**[04:27] Kanade**
Yeah, yeah!
**[04:28] Kanade**
I like seeing you stay true to yourself!
**[04:31] Rein**
Thanks, Kanade, Tania.
**[04:35] Kanade**
In that case, let's get in and out!
**[04:38] Tania**
But we need to first identify a strategy.
**[04:41] Tania**
We can't use the map, can we?
**[04:44] Kanade**
I'd rather not just stumble
our way around, either...
**[04:47] Rein**
Let's change our approach.
**[04:55] Rein**
I'll assimilate with a bird, like before.
**[04:59] Rein**
I can get the lay of the forest from above.
**[05:01] Rein**
You two look after my body
and keep your eyes on our surroundings.
**[05:04] Kanade/Tania**
Okay!
**[05:07] Rein**
Okay, be back soon!
**[05:10] Kanade**
Take care!
**[05:12] Rein**
Sure!
**[05:17] Rein**
*It sure is a big forest...*
**[05:20] Rein**
* But although it's hidden,*
* I can just make out a path.*
**[05:25] Rein**
* I should be able to find a route*
* to its deepest point.*
**[05:35] Rein**
I'm back!
**[05:36] Kanade**
Welcome back, Rein!
**[05:38] Tania**
Well? Did you find a path?
**[05:40] Rein**
Yeah, it went perfectly!
**[05:42] Kanade**
Hooray!
**[05:43] Kanade**
Then, let's get going!
**[05:46] Tania**
Wait, you!
**[05:47] Rein**
You don't know the way, Kanade!
**[05:49] Kanade**
Oh, that's right!
**[05:56] Tania**
We've been walking for some time now...
**[05:59] Kanade**
How much longer, Rein?
**[06:05] Kanade**
That stone...
**[06:06] Tania**
We set it there to mark
the way back, didn't we?
**[06:09] Kanade**
Y-Yeah...
**[06:12] Rein**
We're back at square one.
**[06:13] Tania**
Seems so.
**[06:14] Kanade**
Y-You think we picked the wrong path?
**[06:17] Rein**
That seems unlikely.
**[06:20] Rein**
I shared the information I gathered
from above with the other birds.
**[06:24] Rein**
Even if I got it wrong,
there's no way they all did.
**[06:28] Tania**
I think we followed the right path, as well.
**[06:31] Tania**
I think there's something more
to these woods.
**[06:35] Tania**
Allow me to investigate, would you?
**[06:39] Tania**
Material Search.
**[06:45] Rein**
Wh... What are these lights?
**[06:48] Tania**
This way.
**[07:00] Tania**
I found it.
**[07:02] Tania**
This tree is emitting illusionary magic.
**[07:06] Tania**
That's the reason we lost our way.
**[07:08] Kanade**
I-Illusionary magic?
**[07:10] Tania**
Yes.
**[07:11] Tania**
It establishes an expansive magical field
that permeates the target's brain.
**[07:16] Tania**
Then by exposing the audiovisual processing
center of the brain to its influence...
**[07:21] Tania**
In other words,
**[07:23] Tania**
a spell has been cast on us that prevents us
from doing anything but walking in circles.
**[07:29] Tania**
Though the scale of it suggests
it's more of a barrier than a spell.
**[07:34] Kanade**
I see...
**[07:36] Tania**
Now then, Kanade.
Break down this tree, would you?
**[07:39] Kanade**
How come?
**[07:40] Kanade**
Venting frustrations?
**[07:41] Tania**
Certainly not!
**[07:42] Tania**
Just who do you think I am?!
**[07:44] Rein**
Please don't fight!
**[07:46] Tania**
The tree is projecting the barrier.
**[07:49] Tania**
Eliminating it should allow us
to make progress.
**[07:51] Kanade**
Oh, got it!
**[07:53] Rein**
Er, Tania...
**[07:54] Tania**
Yes?
**[07:55] Rein**
Can't you just take down the barrier?
**[07:58] Rein**
Without destroying the tree...
**[08:00] Tania**
It's quite powerful.
**[08:02] Tania**
I could do it, but it may take a long time.
**[08:05] Rein**
I see.
**[08:06] Kanade**
If we're too late,
that Hero will make fun of Rein!
**[08:10] Kanade**
I won't let it happen!
**[08:11] Kanade**
Rein, let me do it!
**[08:12] Rein**
Wait, Kanade—
**[08:15] Sora**
Leave this place.
**[08:17] Kanade**
Wh-What was that voice?!
**[08:19] Sora**
Leave this place. Leave this place.
**[08:23] Sora**
Leave this place.
**[08:25] Sora**
Leave this place.
**[08:27] Sora**
Leave this place.
**[08:29] Tania**
It can't be...
**[08:39] Rein**
A fairy.
**[08:41] Rein**
* One of the ultimate species*
* like Kanade and Tania.*
**[08:44] Rein**
* Spellcasting specialists with magic power*
* even greater than dragonoids!*
**[08:47] Rein**
* But humans haven't seen a fairy*
* in two hundred years.*
**[08:53] Rein**
*As denizens of the mountains and forests,*
**[08:56] Rein**
* they viewed humans, who harvested the forests*
* for resources, as their mortal enemies.*
**[09:01] Rein**
* Soon, conflict sprang up*
* between the two groups,*
**[09:04] Rein**
* and the fairies retreated to the hinterlands*
* where humans couldn't reach them.*
**[09:09] Rein**
* Because of that, fairies hold humans*
* in a great deal of contempt.*
**[09:14] Rein**
U-Um...
**[09:16] Rein**
Hello—
**[09:16] Sora**
Leave this place.
**[09:17] Rein**
Um... I was hoping to talk—
**[09:20] Sora**
Leave this place.
**[09:21] Rein**
I'm Rein. These are my comrades...
**[09:24] Sora**
Leave this place.
**[09:25] Rein**
There's actually something
we have to do in this—
**[09:28] Sora**
Leave this place.
**[09:29] Sora**
If you won't leave this place...
**[09:32] Sora**
I'll remove you from it.
**[09:34] Rein**
W-We'll come back later!
**[09:35] Tania**
Very well!
**[09:41] Tania**
Sh-She didn't pursue us?
**[09:43] Rein**
No, I think we're safe.
**[09:45] Kanade**
What a shock!
**[09:48] Tania**
What in the world was that?
**[09:49] Tania**
Just threatening us
out of the blue like that...
**[09:51] Kanade**
Aren't fairies supposed to be
a warm and welcoming species?
**[09:55] Rein**
Yeah...
**[09:57] Rein**
It's unusual that she even
showed herself like that.
**[10:00] Rein**
It would be one thing
if it were just the two of you,
**[10:02] Rein**
but with a human like me there?
**[10:04] Rein**
She'd never usually show herself.
**[10:06] Tania**
Are you suggesting
there's something more at play?
**[10:08] Rein**
Yeah.
**[10:09] Rein**
I think it's because we got
close to the barrier.
**[10:13] Tania**
Indeed, she revealed herself
when Kanade tried to break it...
**[10:16] Kanade**
Because you said it was
the only way to move on!
**[10:20] Kanade**
Huh?
**[10:21] Kanade**
Didn't you say there's a monster
with the Shield of Truth inside that barrier?
**[10:26] Kanade**
But when I tried to break the barrier,
that girl came out and...
**[10:30] Rein**
It does seem strange.
**[10:32] Rein**
Would she really cooperate with monsters
out of sheer hatred of humans?
**[10:36] Tania**
Well, her motives aside...
**[10:38] Tania**
We're in quite a hurry, aren't we?
**[10:40] Tania**
I believe we should take down
the barrier and proceed.
**[10:44] Tania**
She caught us by surprise before,
**[10:46] Tania**
but I can keep her spellcasting at bay.
**[10:48] Tania**
While I do, Kanade, you destroy the tree.
**[10:51] Kanade**
I see!
**[10:53] Tania**
Then we won't actually harm her.
**[10:55] Tania**
You can agree to that, can't you?
**[11:00] Rein**
Well... I'd really rather
talk to her one more time.
**[11:04] Tania**
You can't!
**[11:05] Tania**
She clearly had no interest in talking!
**[11:08] Kanade**
Yeah! It's not safe!
**[11:11] Rein**
I'd rather avoid use of force if possible...
**[11:14] Rein**
Besides, we were kind of defensive
back there ourselves, weren't we?
**[11:18] Rein**
If we approach without hostility,
I think we can work it all out.
**[11:24] Kanade**
Rein is just...
**[11:25] Tania**
Truly...
**[11:26] Kanade/Tania**
...too kind for his own good!
**[11:44] Sora**
Leave this place.
**[11:45] Rein**
We're not your enemies.
**[11:47] Rein**
We want to talk to you.
**[11:50] Sora**
Leave this place.
**[11:51] Rein**
We aren't here to disrupt the forest.
**[11:54] Rein**
We just have business inside!
**[11:56] Sora**
If you won't leave this place...
**[11:58] Rein**
Go on and attack me if you want.
**[12:01] Rein**
If that will build trust between us,
I'll accept that.
**[12:04] Rein**
But please don't hurt these two behind me.
**[12:07] Kanade/Tania**
Hey, wait!
**[12:08] Sora**
Really? In that case...
**[12:10] Sora**
I will purge you now.
**[12:15] Kanade/Tania**
Rein!
**[12:15] Rein**
*It's okay.*
**[12:17] Rein**
*I can endure one attack.*
**[12:19] Rein**
*But I won't give up, no matter what.*
**[12:22] Rein**
*I'm a beast tamer.*
**[12:24] Rein**
* I've been through countless situations*
* where I couldn't communicate with words.*
**[12:28] Rein**
*And yet...*
**[12:30] Rein**
*If you engage in good faith,
your feelings *will* get through.*
**[12:35] Rein**
*I know that.*
**[12:38] Sora**
Illusion Arrow!
**[12:45] Sora**
Why won't you run away?
**[12:47] Rein**
Don't you remember?
**[12:48] Rein**
All I want to do is talk!
**[12:50] Sora**
You let my attack hit you,
merely to earn my trust?
**[12:56] Sora**
I do not understand.
**[12:58] Sora**
Are you truly human?
**[13:01] Sora**
Like those who stole, defiled,
and trampled on our lands?
**[13:08] Rein**
I am.
**[13:09] Rein**
But we're not all like that.
**[13:12] Rein**
There are plenty of good humans out there.
**[13:16] Rein**
I can't promise you that I'm one of them,
**[13:18] Rein**
but I do hope you'll trust me.
**[13:20] Sora**
I... I...
**[13:24] Sora**
I shall not be deceived!
**[13:31] Rein**
You two... Why?!
**[13:33] Kanade**
We couldn't just stand back and watch!
**[13:35] Kanade**
Even if you told us to leave it to you,
we were still worried!
**[13:38] Tania**
Yes, you went too far.
**[13:39] Tania**
You clearly weren't getting through!
**[13:42] Kanade**
Listen to me!
**[13:44] Kanade**
Rein really isn't a bad person!
**[13:48] Kanade**
He saved me when I was in trouble.
**[13:51] Kanade**
And he helped the people
in the city, and, um...
**[13:55] Tania**
Precisely! I, as a dragonoid,
vouch for him, as well.
**[13:59] Tania**
Remember? Rein was against
destroying the forest from the start!
**[14:03] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[14:04] Kanade**
When Tania wanted to burn
the place down, he got really mad!
**[14:07] Tania**
I-I wasn't serious about that!
**[14:09] Tania**
But when you attempted to destroy
the tree, Rein stopped you!
**[14:13] Kanade**
You're the one who told me to!
**[14:16] Tania**
But you still *wanted* to do it, correct?
**[14:19] Kanade**
But it was still your idea!
**[14:20] Rein**
This is no time to fight, you two!
**[14:21] Sora**
What a curious human.
**[14:24] Sora**
A curious cat spirit and dragonoid, as well...
**[14:30] Sora**
Never before have I met
creatures like yourselves.
**[14:36] Sora**
What is your name?
**[14:38] Rein**
Rein Shroud.
**[14:40] Sora**
I am Sora.
**[14:42] Sora**
I will hear what you have to say.
**[14:47] Sora**
I see.
**[14:49] Sora**
You seek the Shield of Truth
in that Hero's stead.
**[14:54] Sora**
Is this correct?
**[14:55] Rein**
Yeah.
**[14:56] Rein**
But the barrier's holding us back.
**[14:59] Sora**
It was I who erected the barrier.
**[15:01] Rein**
Would you be willing
to take it down to let us—
**[15:04] Sora**
I cannot.
**[15:06] Sora**
The barrier severs the path
to the fairies' village.
**[15:10] Sora**
I must not expose my comrades to danger.
**[15:13] Tania**
It sounds to me like you're
covering for a monster.
**[15:16] Sora**
I am not.
**[15:17] Sora**
There is no monster in this forest
which holds the Shield of Truth.
**[15:22] Sora**
All that exists in its depths
is the path to the fairies' village.
**[15:26] Sora**
It is the fairies who protect
the Shield of Truth.
**[15:29] Rein**
Really?!
**[15:31] Kanade**
Huh? But what about the monster?
**[15:33] Tania**
I'm sure someone fed bad intelligence
to that ridiculous Hero.
**[15:39] Sora**
If it is necessary to vanquish
the Demon King, I shall give it to you.
**[15:42] Sora**
Allow me a moment.
**[15:52] Sora**
Take it.
**[15:53] Rein**
A-Are you sure about this?
**[15:55] Sora**
I am.
**[15:56] Sora**
Though I may despise humans,
**[15:58] Sora**
my hatred for monsters runs deeper.
**[16:02] Rein**
*Th-That seemed a little too easy...*
**[16:06] Tania**
We did it, though!
**[16:07] Rein**
Is there anything I can do to thank you?
**[16:10] Sora**
No need, I'm sure.
**[16:12] Sora**
To pass along the Shield of Truth
**[16:14] Sora**
was an ancient pact made between
the fairies and the previous Hero.
**[16:19] Sora**
I merely upheld that pact.
**[16:21] Rein**
R-Really?
**[16:23] Sora**
Yes. I deserve no gratitude.
**[16:25] Tania**
She says you don't need to thank her,
so I'm sure it's fine!
**[16:28] Tania**
Well, that's one job complete!
**[16:30] Kanade**
Let's get back to the city and hand it over!
**[16:33] Rein**
Y-Yeah, sure thing.
**[16:35] Rein**
Thanks, Sora.
**[16:37] Sora**
Now that your business is done,
leave this place.
**[16:39] Rein**
R-Right...
**[16:42] Kanade**
Rein, Rein!
**[16:43] Kanade**
Can I have a better look at that shield?
**[16:45] Rein**
Sure thing!
**[16:46] Tania**
Just don't break it.
**[16:48] Kanade**
I won't!
**[16:54] Tania**
What's the matter?
**[16:55] Rein**
Hey, Sora...
**[16:57] Rein**
There's something bothering you, isn't there?
**[17:01] Rein**
I can't say why. It's just a feeling I got.
**[17:05] Rein**
Even if it's a small thing,
I'm happy to listen.
**[17:08] Rein**
And you did fetch us
the Shield of Truth, so...
**[17:11] Rein**
there's a chance I could help you.
**[17:17] Sora**
Well... the truth is...
**[17:19] Sora**
I... I...
**[17:22] Sora**
*No, I must not reveal it.*
**[17:24] Sora**
*If I reveal the truth...*
**[17:27] Sora**
*he'll likely aid me...*
**[17:30] Sora**
*and they could all be hurt.*
**[17:33] Sora**
No... it's nothing.
**[17:36] Rein**
I don't mind.
**[17:38] Rein**
Even if it's dangerous, I don't mind.
**[17:40] Rein**
If you're in trouble, I want to help.
**[17:43] Rein**
Won't you let me?
**[17:45] Sora**
B-But...
**[17:46] Tania**
That's just the kind of guy he is.
**[17:48] Tania**
He's so excessively kind
that it's frankly disgusting.
**[17:51] Tania**
He simply won't accept "no" for an answer.
**[17:53] Tania**
Well? Why not give us a chance?
**[17:56] Sora**
Wh—
**[17:57] Kanade**
I think you should do it, too!
**[18:01] Kanade**
Don't worry!
**[18:03] Kanade**
We're a lot stronger than we look!
**[18:06] Kanade**
I really think we could help you!
**[18:13] Sora**
Then...
**[18:14] Sora**
having deemed you worthy
of my trust, I shall reveal all.
**[18:20] Sora**
I have a younger twin sister.
**[18:23] Sora**
Her name is Runa.
**[18:25] Sora**
Her personality is the opposite of mine,
yet we remain close.
**[18:31] Sora**
She is precious to me.
**[18:35] Sora**
In truth, there is more than one path
to the fairies' village.
**[18:39] Sora**
There are many, found all over the world.
**[18:42] Sora**
Together, Runa and I maintained
the barrier within the Lost Woods.
**[18:49] Sora**
It was, in truth, dull work.
**[18:54] Sora**
But in Runa's company,
there was much joy to be found.
**[19:00] Sora**
But...
**[19:01] Sora**
That day, we were obliged to leave
the barrier for a time, for certain reasons.
**[19:07] Sora**
And there...
**[19:10] Sora**
we encountered a monster
working for the Demon King's army.
**[19:14] Sora**
We swiftly attempted
to return from whence we came,
**[19:16] Sora**
but it pursued, and we were
forced to fight back.
**[19:21] Sora**
However, we failed to defeat it.
**[19:25] Sora**
And then...
**[19:31] Sora**
Runa was captured.
**[19:34] Rein**
A monster even fairies couldn't beat?
**[19:36] Sora**
The monster's name was Shadow Knight.
**[19:39] Rein**
I see... that explains it.
**[19:42] Kanade**
Wh-What do you mean?
**[19:44] Rein**
A Shadow Knight is a C-rank monster,
**[19:46] Rein**
so it shouldn't be able
to beat an ultimate species.
**[19:49] Rein**
But it does have one tricky characteristic.
**[19:52] Rein**
It nullifies all magic attacks.
**[19:55] Rein**
In other words, only physical attacks
can hurt a Shadow Knight.
**[19:59] Rein**
Meanwhile, fairies specialize
exclusively in magic.
**[20:03] Rein**
It was a bad match-up for them.
**[20:05] Tania**
I was wondering what could
possibly beat two fairies.
**[20:09] Tania**
That does explain it.
**[20:11] Sora**
Yes.
**[20:12] Sora**
The Shadow Knight's aim was to eliminate
the ultimate species that might oppose them.
**[20:16] Sora**
It ordered me to lower the barrier
in exchange for Runa's release.
**[20:21] Sora**
But I refused to place
my other comrades in danger.
**[20:27] Sora**
Powerless to save her alone,
I entreated our village's leader for aid.
**[20:32] Sora**
But he encouraged me, instead,
to abandon her.
**[20:37] Sora**
"We must celebrate the fact that
the others are safely within the barrier."
**[20:40] Sora**
"It was you two who erred
by leaving the barrier's safety."
**[20:43] Sora**
"You must accept
the consequences of your actions."
**[20:47] Kanade**
That's awful...
**[20:49] Tania**
Unacceptable!
**[20:50] Sora**
I understand our leader's reasoning.
**[20:53] Sora**
He prioritizes the lives
of all fairies over that of my sister.
**[20:59] Sora**
I understand that... and yet...
**[21:03] Sora**
And yet I...
**[21:05] Sora**
I am unable to simply abandon my sister.
**[21:17] Rein**
You've been working so hard.
**[21:19] Rein**
You've been enduring all that pain alone.
**[21:23] Rein**
But you can rest easy now.
**[21:25] Rein**
I make you this promise.
**[21:26] Rein**
We will save your sister.
**[21:29] Rein**
We won't expose your people to danger.
**[21:32] Rein**
And we will defeat the Shadow Knight.
**[21:35] Rein**
All of it.
**[21:36] Rein**
We'll grant all of it, together.

**[00:09] Sora**
The Shadow Knight's demand was that
I remove the barrier before sundown of this day.
**[00:15] Sora**
He said that if I refused,
my sister would die!
**[00:18] Kanade**
This evening, huh?
**[00:19] Tania**
We'll need to hurry.
**[00:20] Rein**
Where is he?
**[00:21] Sora**
There.
**[00:23] Sora**
My sister, Runa, is there, as well.
**[00:25] Rein**
Got it.
**[00:26] Rein**
Leave the rest to us.
**[00:28] Sora**
I must accompany—
**[00:30] Rein**
If he realizes you've broken the deal,
he might harm the hostage.
**[00:34] Rein**
I know you're worried,
but could you wait here for us?
**[00:38] Sora**
Of course! I believe you worthy of my trust.
**[00:41] Sora**
I beg of you, fight well.
**[00:46] Rein**
That's him.

Just like we planned it, okay?

Of course!
**[02:31] Rein**
Three!
**[02:32] Rein**

**[02:42] Shadow Knight**
Whoever you are, know this...
**[02:43] Shadow Knight**
Spells are useless against me!
**[02:45] Kanade**
Yeah, we know!
**[02:50] Rein**
They still draw your attention just fine!
**[02:55] Kanade**
That didn't take him down?
**[02:57] Shadow Knight**
Such power...
**[02:59] Shadow Knight**
Might you be the Hero?
**[03:00] Rein**
Don't insult me like that.
**[03:03] Shadow Knight**
Yet you challenge me,
aware that I am of the Demon King's army?
**[03:06] Shadow Knight**
What is your purpose here?
**[03:08] Rein**
I don't have to tell you that.
**[03:11] Shadow Knight**
I see.
**[03:12] Shadow Knight**
It was that fairy's request, was it?
**[03:15] Shadow Knight**
I must punish such betrayal!
**[03:24] Tania**
I think I'd rather you didn't!
**[03:27] Kanade**
Tania!
**[03:30] Tania**
Rein! I have her, safe and sound!
**[03:33] Rein**
Sure! Great work, Tania!
**[03:36] Tania**
Just dispose of that
brute already, would you?
**[03:41] Shadow Knight**
You will not escape!
**[03:42] Kanade**
But don't forget...
**[03:43] Rein**
...about us!
**[03:49] Kanade**
You and I distract him
while Tania makes the save.
**[03:52] Kanade**
Your plan worked perfectly!
**[03:53] Rein**
Yeah.
**[03:54] Rein**
Although...
**[03:56] Rein**
He's still not down?
**[03:58] Rein**
Even attacking with Kanade's power?
**[04:01] Shadow Knight**
I will not be underestimated!
**[04:07] Shadow Knight**
Not by you insects!
**[04:11] Rein**
* I see why he thought he could*
* invade the fairies' village solo...*
**[04:15] Rein**
* Is this the power of the monsters*
* who serve the Demon King?*
**[04:22] Kanade**
He's so reckless!
**[04:24] Rein**
The forest won't survive this.
**[04:26] Rein**
We can't let this go on.
**[04:28] Rein**
Kanade!
**[04:29] Kanade**
Yes?
**[04:30] Rein**
I'll hold him down.
**[04:31] Rein**
While I do, hit him with everything you've got!
**[04:34] Kanade**
But...
**[04:35] Kanade**
He's really tough!
**[04:37] Kanade**
I don't think one hit'll do it!
**[04:39] Rein**
It will.
**[04:40] Rein**
I have an idea.
**[04:43] Kanade**
Okay!
**[05:04] Rein**
Go!
**[05:07] Rein**
* The ahrbees' paralyzing effect*
* might not work on the Shadow Knight.*
**[05:11] Rein**
*But...*
**[05:13] Shadow Knight**
Surrender now.
**[05:14] Shadow Knight**
You have nowhere left to run.
**[05:16] Shadow Knight**
What are these insects?!
**[05:18] Rein**
*If they can briefly distract him...*
**[05:21] Rein**
Kanade!
**[05:22] Kanade**
Rein!
**[05:23] Shadow Knight**
Get out of my way!
**[05:24] Rein**
Now, Kanade!
**[05:27] Rein**
Respond to my call, and unleash your power!
**[05:30] Rein**
Boost!
**[05:36] Kanade**
What's going on?
**[05:37] Kanade**
I feel so strong...
**[05:39] Rein**
Kanade!
**[06:02] Shadow Knight**
This cannot... be...
**[06:12] Kanade**
Rein!
**[06:13] Kanade**
Hey, hey! What did you do back there?
**[06:15] Kanade**
I felt so strong all of a sudden!
**[06:18] Rein**
Oh, that?
**[06:20] Rein**
That was a unique tamer spell.
**[06:23] Rein**
Put simply, it temporarily
increases your natural abilities!
**[06:28] Kanade**
My abilities?
**[06:31] Rein**
Yeah. I didn't have the magic
power to use it before,
**[06:35] Rein**
but now I've got Tania's
magic power behind me!
**[06:37] Tania**
As reckless as ever, I see.
**[06:38] Kanade**
Tania!
**[06:40] Rein**
Is she...?
**[06:41] Tania**
No need to worry. She's merely unconscious.
**[06:44] Tania**
But, Rein, I have a few things to say to you!
**[06:47] Tania**
I was under the impression
that Boost was a lost spell.
**[06:49] Tania**
How did you manage to learn it?
**[06:52] Rein**
What to say to that?
**[06:54] Rein**
I just learned it in my hometown.
**[06:56] Kanade**
Now, now.
**[06:57] Kanade**
What matters is, it allowed
us save Sora's little sister!
**[07:02] Kanade**
So let's leave that stuff aside...
**[07:04] Kanade**
and strike a victory pose!
**[07:06] Tania**
What a ridiculous dance!
**[07:08] Kanade**
It's my victory dance!
**[07:12] Kanade**
Good morning!
**[07:14] Tania**
How do you feel?
**[07:15] Runa**
Who are... you all?
**[07:18] Rein**
Your sister asked us to save you.
**[07:20] Rein**
You're safe now.
**[07:22] Runa**
I see. My sister...
**[07:27] Sora**
Runa! Thank goodness!
**[07:29] Sora**
How grateful I am to see you safe!
**[07:31] Sora**
Have you been harmed?
**[07:33] Runa**
I'm fine!
**[07:35] Sora**
How can I ever thank you for saving Runa?
**[07:40] Runa**
Thanks a bunch!
**[07:42] Rein**
You don't have to thank me.
**[07:44] Rein**
I'm just glad she's safe.
**[07:45] Sora**
Oh... but without your aid,
who knows what might have happened?
**[07:49] Runa**
Shucks, I mighta been
in real danger back there!
**[07:53] Runa**
I'd bet I'd've been made subject
to all sorts of nasty business...
**[08:00] Runa**
Eh?
**[08:01] Runa**
Bet yer thinkin' about it, eh?
**[08:03] Runa**
Bet those male instincts
of yours are runnin' wild, eh?
**[08:06] Sora**
Runa! You're being
utterly outrageous right now!
**[08:10] Runa**
Aw, Sis, I'm always workin' so hard.
**[08:12] Runa**
A little outrageous now and then
is just what the doctor ordered!
**[08:15] Sora**
It is statements like *that* to which I object!
**[08:20] Rein**
* They look exactly alike,*
* but they really are polar opposites!*
**[08:24] Rein**
*Still, I'm glad we were able to save her.*
**[08:27] Rein**
*Sora seems so much happier!*
**[08:28] Kanade**
Isn't this nice?
**[08:30] Kanade**
Now you can live together again!
**[08:34] Sora**
I fear, in fact,
that we must leave this place.
**[08:37] Sora**
Understandable though
their reaction might have been,
**[08:42] Sora**
I cannot live with those who would have
abandoned Runa to her fate.
**[08:45] Sora**
I wish some distance from them.
**[08:47] Kanade**
I see...
**[08:48] Rein**
Be careful, you two.
**[08:51] Rein**
The forest is full of
nasty monsters like that one.
**[08:54] Runa**
Yeah, I'd rather not do
the damsel-in-distress thing again...
**[08:58] Runa**
But we've spent so much time as shut-ins,
**[09:01] Runa**
we don't really know a ton
about the outside world.
**[09:03] Sora**
Sh-Shut-ins?
**[09:05] Sora**
Although, I do agree with your concerns...
**[09:07] Kanade**
Hey, hey! In that case...
**[09:09] Kanade**
How about coming along with us?
**[09:13] Kanade**
It's gotta mean something
that we ran into you, right?
**[09:16] Kanade**
Don't you agree, Tania?
**[09:17] Tania**
I suppose I do,
**[09:20] Tania**
but such decisions
should really be up to our leader.
**[09:25] Rein**
Are you all right with that, though?
**[09:27] Rein**
Joining a party with a human in it?
**[09:30] Sora**
B-But have you not taught me
that some humans are noble?
**[09:37] Sora**
Though I may not yet trust other humans...
**[09:40] Sora**
I do feel that Rein might be
a worthy companion... and...
**[09:45] Runa**
If even Miss Priss here thinks you're worthy,
**[09:48] Runa**
I don't mind appointin' you our navigator!
**[09:51] Sora**
Why are you dictating to him?!
**[09:54] Runa**
Only if Rein doesn't mind, of course.
**[09:59] Rein**
Actually, I'd love to have you!
**[10:01] Sora**
Truly?!
**[10:02] Runa**
Guess we're best buds now.
**[10:04] Sora**
But in that case, you must...
**[10:06] Runa**
...form a contract with us!
**[10:08] Sora**
It is my understanding that Tania and Kanade
have both forged a contract with you.
**[10:13] Sora**
We, too, wish to come to your aid!
**[10:15] Runa**
Yep!
**[10:16] Rein**
Are you serious?
**[10:18] Sora**
Yes. You have been of
such service to us, after all...
**[10:21] Rein**
*Taming... fairies?*
**[10:24] Rein**
* Every species gets tamed*
* in roughly the same way,*
**[10:28] Rein**
* but the structure of the magic power*
* I use differs for each one.*
**[10:32] Rein**
*I know the structure of animals and insects,*
**[10:35] Rein**
*but fairies are a bit outside my ken...*
**[10:37] Rein**
* It would be like putting together*
* a whole new puzzle.*
**[10:42] Tania**
Giving up before you even try?
**[10:46] Tania**
You wouldn't do something
so unsightly, would you...
**[10:48] Tania**
my master?
**[10:49] Kanade**
We know you can do it, Rein!
**[10:54] Rein**
Well, it won't hurt to try!
**[11:10] Rein**
* If I build up the wrong magic power*
* when forming the contract,*
**[11:13] Rein**
*my words won't reach the soul of my target,*
**[11:17] Rein**
*and the contract will fail.*
**[11:20] Rein**
*What kind of magic structure should I build?*
**[11:24] Rein**
*Think.*
**[11:25] Rein**
* The structure of magic*
* that will connect to Sora and Runa...*
**[11:43] Rein**
My name is Rein Shroud.
**[11:52] Rein**
In establishing this new contract,
a bond is formed.
**[11:59] Rein**
An oath in our hearts, hope in our souls...
**[12:04] Rein**
Your power, in my hand.
**[12:06] Rein**
Speak now your name.
**[12:15] Sora**
Sora.
**[12:17] Runa**
Runa.
**[12:40] Sora**
I-Is it complete?
**[12:43] Rein**
Yeah, and I think it worked!
**[12:45] Runa**
Sis! Look at the weird pattern on our hands!
**[12:50] Kanade**
You did it, Rein!
**[12:51] Tania**
I knew it would work, personally.
**[12:55] Rein**
*It's pretty exhausting, though...*
**[12:57] Rein**
*Contracting two ultimate species at once...*
**[13:03] Rein**
Th-Thanks, you two.
**[13:06] Sora**
Do you feel well?
**[13:07] Rein**
Yeah, just a little dizzy.
**[13:09] Runa**
C'mon, lean on us a little!
**[13:12] Runa**
Backin' you up is our job!
**[13:15] Sora**
We welcome your future company.
**[13:15] Runa**
Good to have ya with us!
**[13:18] Both**
Master.
**[13:25] Sora**
Should we really be allowing
Rein to go on his own?
**[13:28] Sora**
Is that Hero not a cruel man
who drove Rein from his party?
**[13:33] Kanade**
I don't exactly like it,
but Rein did ask us to wait here, so...
**[13:38] Tania**
I worry that the Hero
might lash out at us again.
**[13:42] Runa**
If anything happens to Rein,
in we go to save him!
**[13:46] Kanade**
I'm in!
**[13:47] Rein**
Here it is. The Shield of Truth.
**[13:52] Rein**
What is it?
**[13:54] Arios**
H-How strange...
**[13:56] Arios**
It's only been two days since you
embarked on the quest, hasn't it?
**[14:01] Rein**
Yeah, and we did it in two days.
**[14:03] Arios**
Impossible!
**[14:05] Arios**
It took us over a week, and we never—
**[14:08] Arios**
Ah, don't tell me! Is that a fake shield?!
**[14:11] Rein**
If that's what you think,
go ahead and check it out.
**[14:17] Mina**
I'll cast appraisal magic on it.
**[14:19] Arios**
Please do.
**[14:24] Mina**
It is genuine!
**[14:25] Aggath**
What?!
**[14:26] Leane**
It can't be!
**[14:27] Arios**
How did they do it so quickly?
**[14:30] Arios**
What's that?
**[14:31] Arios**
I see a few new faces...
**[14:33] Arios**
They look like children, even.
**[14:36] Rein**
That's none of your business.
**[14:38] Rein**
*I had them hide their wings.*
**[14:40] Rein**
* If it gets out that there are fairies in a*
* human settlement, there could be a panic.*
**[14:45] Rein**
Now, the reward you promised!
**[14:48] Arios**
Right to the money talk, eh?
**[14:55] Rein**
Twenty gold coins, as agreed.
**[14:58] Rein**
Now the job is complete.
**[14:59] Rein**
Are we finished?
**[15:00] Arios**
Yes.
**[15:02] Rein**
* Now I won't have to deal*
* with them ever again.*
**[15:05] Aggath**
Wait, Rein.
**[15:09] Aggath**
Would you like to return to the party?
**[15:12] Arios**
What are you saying, Aggath?!
**[15:14] Arios**
I never gave my permission for that!
**[15:16] Aggath**
Yes, it's my own idea.
**[15:18] Aggath**
But you should consider it.
**[15:20] Aggath**
Recent circumstances have made it clear
that we need Rein's help.
**[15:25] Aggath**
And Rein successfully cleared
the Lost Woods that we struggled with.
**[15:31] Leane**
I'll admit, the scouting stuff
is a total drag.
**[15:36] Leane**
I'm okay with it, I guess.
**[15:38] Mina**
Considering what likely lies ahead,
a compromise may be in order.
**[15:43] Aggath**
You can't possibly object, can you, Arios?
**[15:49] Aggath**
How about it?
**[15:50] Aggath**
I can promise good pay and better treatment.
**[15:53] Aggath**
We'll welcome you as a comrade once more.
**[15:55] Aggath**
And we can resume our journey.
**[15:58] Aggath**
Don't get so hung up
on the distant past, Rein!
**[16:03] Rein**
*The distant past?!*
**[16:05] Rein**
*That's not for you to decide!*
**[16:07] Rein**
*These people haven't changed at all.*
**[16:09] Rein**
*They're exactly the same!*
**[16:10] Rein**
* How could I have ever*
* viewed them as comrades?*
**[16:13] Rein**
*I was a true fool. I...*
**[16:16] Kanade**
Rein!
**[16:20] Kanade**
Enough. Let's go.
**[16:23] Kanade**
We're all waiting for you!
**[16:25] Rein**
Sure.
**[16:27] Aggath**
You're turning me down?
**[16:28] Aggath**
Defeating the Demon King will earn you
rank, fame, and enormous wealth!
**[16:35] Rein**
I don't need any of that!
**[16:37] Rein**
*That's right.*
**[16:40] Rein**
* What I've wanted*
* since those days never changed.*
**[16:46] Rein**
*What I really wanted...*
**[16:49] Rein**
*I think...*
**[16:53] Rein**
*I've already got it right here.*
**[17:01] Leane**
What's wrong with him?
**[17:02] Leane**
We offered him an invitation and everything!
**[17:05] Mina**
He's just an ordinary person.
**[17:07] Mina**
He's nothing like us, with our
lofty mission of defeating the Demon King.
**[17:12] Mina**
Are we agreed, Arios?
**[17:14] Arios**
Yeah... right.
**[17:16] Aggath**
What a fool.
**[17:18] Aggath**
Abandoning his chance for glory...
**[17:21] Leane**
Well, forget him. Who needs him?
**[17:24] Mina**
Indeed.
**[17:25] Mina**
It was a waste of time to ask.
**[17:32] Arios**
It hasn't gone away.
**[17:33] Arios**
*The pain of that moment...*
**[17:36] Arios**
*No, not just the pain.*
**[17:38] Arios**
*The humiliation, the hatred...*
**[17:40] Arios**
*It won't go away so easily.*
**[17:42] Arios**
*I, the Hero, beaten by that scum...*
**[17:48] Arios**
I'll erase him.
**[17:49] Arios**
With my own hands,
**[17:51] Arios**
I'll erase Rein Shroud!
**[17:56] Sora**
Can the Demon King's defeat
truly come only by the Hero's hands?
**[18:01] Runa**
Yeah, I've been wonderin' that myself.
**[18:03] Tania**
What do you think?
**[18:05] Rein**
Well...
**[18:07] Rein**
The old legends say that the Demon King
used his vast powers to control people,
**[18:13] Rein**
and that no one could turn against him.
**[18:17] Rein**
The first Hero made a contract
with the gods to defeat the Demon King
**[18:20] Rein**
and took their blood into his own body.
**[18:23] Rein**
Now possessing the power of the gods,
the Hero defeated the Demon King,
**[18:27] Rein**
freed the people,
and brought peace to the world.
**[18:32] Rein**
That's the Hero legend.
**[18:34] Tania**
The first Hero was a fine man.
**[18:36] Kanade**
Unlike the current model!
**[18:40] Rein**
So what's significant is the blood
of the gods in the Hero's body.
**[18:44] Rein**
Most people have limits
on how much they can grow.
**[18:48] Rein**
No matter how much they train, they'll never
be strong enough to beat the Demon King.
**[18:53] Rein**
But the Hero is different.
**[18:55] Rein**
The divine blood in his body
removes all limits to his growth.
**[19:00] Rein**
He'll continue to mature
and increase his strength...
**[19:04] Rein**
In time, enough to defeat the Demon King.
**[19:08] Rein**
"Limit break."
**[19:10] Rein**
That's the power needed to defeat
the Demon King that only the Hero has.
**[19:14] Kanade**
But that Hero was pretty darn weak!
**[19:17] Rein**
He is now, yeah.
**[19:18] Rein**
But he'll eventually
grow stronger without limit,
**[19:20] Rein**
strong enough to defeat the Demon King.
**[19:22] Sora**
If I may.
**[19:23] Sora**
In that regard, are you not like
the Hero yourself, Rein?
**[19:28] Sora**
You forged a contract with Kanade
and gained the cat spirits' physical prowess,
**[19:33] Sora**
and forged a contract with Tania
and gained the dragonoids' magical prowess.
**[19:36] Runa**
And your contract with us means
you've got fairy magic now, too!
**[19:43] Sora**
With every contract you forge,
you have acquired new power and grown stronger.
**[19:47] Runa**
Yep! And you're already
way past an ordinary human's limits!
**[19:51] Runa**
I can say that much.
**[19:53] Sora**
Is this not a "limit break" ability,
akin to the Hero's?
**[19:57] Tania**
They may be right.
**[19:58] Kanade**
Hey, here's an idea!
**[20:00] Kanade**
What if Rein forged contracts
with even more ultimate species,
**[20:03] Kanade**
and got stronger and stronger?
**[20:05] Kanade**
Rein might become strong enough
to beat the Demon King!
**[20:09] Rein**
That idea's a bit much.
**[20:11] Tania**
I think it's a fine idea, myself.
**[20:13] Tania**
Much better than leaving it
to that lousy Hero!
**[20:15] Runa**
Pretty darn good!
**[20:16] Sora**
I find you far preferable
to that human, as a savior.
**[20:21] Kanade**
You don't want to, Rein?
**[20:23] Kanade**
You don't wanna fight the Demon King?
**[20:26] Rein**
*Fight the Demon King?*
**[20:28] Rein**
* That's the goal I was working for*
* in my old party...*
**[20:33] Rein**
* When they kicked me out, that goal*
* and all my responsibilities disappeared.*
**[20:37] Rein**
* I'm having a lot of fun with Kanade*
* and the others right now.*
**[20:41] Rein**
*But...*
**[20:43] Rein**
To be honest, I would do it if I could.
**[20:47] Kanade**
In that case...
**[20:49] Rein**
But defeating the Demon King
isn't like our previous jobs.
**[20:53] Rein**
So many lives are riding on it.
**[20:56] Rein**
It's not a task to be taken on lightly.
**[21:00] Rein**
I haven't...
mentally prepared myself for the task.
**[21:06] Rein**
Sorry.
**[21:08] Rein**
I'm not strong enough to make
a decision like that on the fly.
**[21:11] Rein**
I've only even made it this far
because I had your support.
**[21:15] Kanade**
No, we're sorry.
**[21:17] Kanade**
We weren't thinking about
how you felt at all...
**[21:19] Rein**
No, it's okay.
**[21:21] Rein**
I might as well think about it now!
**[21:24] Rein**
About what it is I should do.
**[21:26] Rein**
I need to face that.
**[21:28] Rein**
I can find my answer after that.
**[21:31] Tania**
I do like the sound of that.
**[21:32] Sora**
I will gladly await your decision!
**[21:34] Runa**
Same here!
**[21:35] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[21:37] Kanade**
But there's one thing that won't change,
no matter what answer you give.
**[21:43] Kanade**
The fact that all of us here...
**[21:45] Kanade**
are with you!
**[21:48] Rein**
Thank you!
**[21:52] Rein**
*What should I do next?*
**[21:55] Rein**
*What goal should I strive for?*
**[21:58] Rein**
*The time to choose my path*
**[22:01] Rein**
*might be drawing closer.*

New equipment for me?
**[01:54] Tania**
Yes.
**[01:55] Tania**
We've talked about it before, remember?
**[01:56] Kanade**
Yeah.
**[01:57] Kanade**
You've gotten way stronger since
forging your contract with me, but...
**[02:01] Rein**
I can't make the best use of it
barehanded, right?
**[02:05] Runa**
Wow!
**[02:06] Runa**
This seasoning sure brings out
the veggie flavor!
**[02:10] Runa**
Hey, Sis! This's one tasty soup!
**[02:12] Sora**
Runa, the rules of etiquette
behoove you not to shout during meals.
**[02:16] Sora**
And look at this awful mess
that you've made...
**[02:18] Rein**
Yeah. And I'm flush with cash
since the job for Arios,
**[02:24] Rein**
so let's grab some new equipment!
**[02:28] Rein**
*I've got more comrades to protect, after all!*
**[02:34] Runa**
So many humans!
**[02:36] Runa**
Can't have 'em finding out we're fairies.
**[02:39] Runa**
Keep your eyes out, Sis!
**[02:40] Sora**
Y-You have no need to worry.
**[02:43] Sora**
I swear to protect you this time,
Runa, no matter what!
**[02:47] Rein**
C'mon, you're fine.
**[02:48] Rein**
I told you, not all humans are bad.
**[02:51] Sora**
I am quite aware
of your assurances, and yet...
**[02:54] Runa**
Yeah, we've been shut-ins
on a species level forever.
**[02:57] Runa**
It's gonna take us a while
to get used to all this!
**[02:59] Sora**
I must once again voice my objection
to the term, "shut-ins"...
**[03:01] Adventurers 1 & 2**
Miss Tania!
**[03:03] Adventurers 1 & 2**
Welcome back!
**[03:04] Tania**
You guys again, huh?
You don't have anything better to do?
**[03:07] Adventurers 1 & 2**
Correct!
**[03:08] Adventurer 2**
Havin' you break my nose at Stride Bridge
had me pretty down for a while...
**[03:14] Adventurer 2**
But once I found out you were a dragon—
**[03:16] Adventurer 1**
Miss Tania!
**[03:17] Adventurer 1**
Being beaten by you is a mark
of pride for any adventurer!
**[03:19] Adventurer 2**
So we figured we'd better show our respects!
**[03:24] Tania**
If you insist.
**[03:25] Tania**
Once you've made yourselves stronger,
I'll deign to fight you again!
**[03:28] Adventurer 1 & 2**
Yes, Miss Tania!
**[03:30] Kanade**
Hey there, ma'am!
**[03:31] Older Lady**
My, my.
**[03:32] Older Lady**
You've got energy today, Kanade.
**[03:35] Older Lady**
Here, take this.
**[03:36] Kanade**
Wow, thanks!
**[03:37] Kanade**
But are you sure?
**[03:38] Older Lady**
My treat, for all your help earlier.
**[03:41] Older Lady**
I hope I can ask for your help again!
**[03:43] Kanade**
You sure can!
**[03:44] Sora**
Kanade and Tania appear well integrated.
**[03:47] Runa**
Yeah, even though they're
ultimate species like us...
**[03:52] Sora**
D-Do you require something of us?
**[03:54] Runa**
I w-won't hold back just 'cause you're kids!
**[03:56] Kid A**
Hey, Rein, you got more wives!
**[04:00] Kid B**
That's number three and number four!
**[04:02] Sora**
W-We are anything but his wives!
**[04:04] Runa**
Look at you blushin', Sis!
**[04:06] Kid D**
You're both so pretty!
**[04:08] Kid D**
Are you flower spirits?
**[04:10] Sora**
P-Pretty...
**[04:11] Sora**
Ah, I thank you for your kind words.
**[04:16] Runa**
You've got a good eye, girlie!
**[04:19] Runa**
But we are far from flower spirits...
**[04:23] Runa**
Behold, the vast depths of my sorcery!
**[04:28] Runa**
I am the ultimate wielder of magic, the fai—
**[04:32] Runa**
Why'd you stop me, you guys?!
**[04:34] Runa**
When someone asks for a show,
I just gotta give it to 'em!
**[04:37] Sora**
Have you forgotten that the use
of magic causes our wings to appear?
**[04:43] Sora**
Trouble would result from our true identities
coming to light here in the city.
**[04:48] Rein**
Little by little, I hope
you guys get used to life here.
**[04:52] Rein**
So... is this the place?
**[04:54] Kanade**
It is the best weapons shop
in the city, they say...
**[04:57] Tania**
And it's important to pursue
the best in all things.
**[04:59] Tania**
Let's proceed!
**[05:03] Gantz**
Welcome.
**[05:07] Gantz**
What?
**[05:08] Gantz**
Dwarves ain't that rare a sight, are we?
**[05:10] Rein**
O-Oh, of course not.
**[05:12] Rein**
I'm just looking for weapons and armor.
**[05:15] Gantz**
It's self-service. Pick what you like.
**[05:17] Kanade**
The shopkeep's a little intimidating!
**[05:20] Tania**
Dwarves are a notoriously cranky lot.
**[05:24] Rein**
A dwarven blacksmith, huh?
I see why it's the city's best.
**[05:28] Runa**
Rein! Rein!
**[05:29] Runa**
How's about this one?
**[05:31] Rein**
A whip?
**[05:32] Sora**
Runa.
**[05:33] Sora**
I do not believe Rein has
experience with whips.
**[05:35] Runa**
Huh? But it just screams "tamer," don't it?
**[05:38] Runa**
"Do what I say or I'll give you the works!"
**[05:42] Runa**
And there might be other ways of usin' it!
**[05:45] Runa**
Y'know, all *kinds* of unthinkable things!
**[05:46] Sora**
U-Unthinkable things...
**[05:50] Sora**
H-How impure!
**[05:51] Sora**
Rein would never do such things!
**[05:53] Runa**
What's goin' through that head of yours, eh?
**[05:54] Runa**
You've got a real dirty mind, Sis!
**[05:56] Sora**
Runa!
**[05:59] Runa**
Hey, you're hurtin' me, Sis!
**[06:02] Runa**
F-For real, that's really startin' to hurt!
**[06:06] Rein**
Hey, this one looks good!
**[06:07] Tania**
A dagger?
**[06:08] Tania**
Surely you deserve a more
impressive weapon, Rein.
**[06:11] Rein**
But this is what I'm used to.
**[06:15] Kanade**
So pretty!
**[06:17] Rein**
*Something about this feels off...*
**[06:19] Rein**
*Even though it looks fine on the outside...*
**[06:21] Youth**
Hey, you're the best
weapons shop in town, right?
**[06:25] Youth**
I want the finest weapon money can buy!
**[06:28] Youth**
I've got plenty of it to spend, after all!
**[06:32] Gantz**
Money, eh?
**[06:37] Gantz**
How d'you like this one?
**[06:38] Youth**
Wow!
**[06:39] Youth**
It sure looks sharp!
**[06:41] Youth**
Yeah, there's no beating this sword!
**[06:43] Youth**
I'll take it!
**[06:45] Gantz**
Much appreciated.
**[06:48] Kanade**
That was a very pretty sword!
**[06:52] Kanade**
Rein?
**[06:54] Rein**
Excuse me.
**[06:56] Rein**
That weapon you just sold...
**[06:58] Rein**
Was that really the best you have?
**[07:02] Gantz**
What're you getting at?
**[07:04] Rein**
It's a fine display piece, but it seems like
it might be lacking in real combat.
**[07:09] Rein**
And it's not just that one.
**[07:11] Rein**
The same is true of everything in this shop.
**[07:16] Rein**
Could it be...
**[07:18] Rein**
you're hiding something?
**[07:26] Gantz**
You've got a good eye, kid.
**[07:29] Gantz**
Yeah, that's right.
**[07:31] Gantz**
These're all weapons
I whipped up in my spare time,
**[07:35] Gantz**
with nothing to recommend 'em
but a decent edge and endurance.
**[07:38] Runa**
In other words, a total ripoff.
**[07:40] Sora**
I may be forced to reconsider
my estimation of dwarves...
**[07:44] Gantz**
Watch your mouths, girlies!
**[07:46] Gantz**
Half-arsed though they are,
they're still dwarven craftsmanship.
**[07:48] Gantz**
And I don't charge more than they're worth.
**[07:51] Gantz**
But...
**[07:57] Gantz**
They're nothin' compared to the ones
I really pour my heart into.
**[08:02] Rein**
It's clear at a glance
that they're a cut above.
**[08:05] Rein**
If you can make weapons this incredible,
why did you treat your customer that way?
**[08:10] Gantz**
It was a bit of a test of his mettle.
**[08:15] Gantz**
These days, everyone just makes their
money and asks for a fine weapon,
**[08:20] Gantz**
no care at all for their
individual skill and affinities.
**[08:24] Gantz**
Even weapons I put my heart into, they throw
away the minute they find a new model.
**[08:30] Gantz**
I started losin' faith in the process.
**[08:38] Gantz**
To a weaponsmith, the weapons
we craft are like our children.
**[08:42] Gantz**
Is it selfish to want them
to go to someone worthy of them?
**[08:50] Tania**
I understand your feelings entirely!
**[08:54] Tania**
First-rate products demand
a first-rate wielder! Absolutely!
**[08:58] Gantz**
You understand?!
**[08:59] Tania**
I certainly do!
**[09:00] Kanade**
Looks like kindred spirits, huh?
**[09:01] Tania**
I'm first-rate myself!
**[09:03] Rein**
Their innate pride creates
a mutual understanding, I guess.
**[09:04] Gantz**
You are quite appealing, miss!
**[09:07] Gantz**
Now, a question for you.
**[09:11] Gantz**
How'd you catch on
to what made the weapons different?
**[09:15] Gantz**
If I say so myself, they should've been
good enough to fool most eyes.
**[09:20] Rein**
Well, I'm not entirely sure,
**[09:23] Rein**
but if I had to say something,
**[09:24] Rein**
it might be because I'm a beast tamer.
**[09:28] Rein**
When we tame an animal,
we have to observe it closely.
**[09:33] Rein**
Maybe because of that,
**[09:34] ---**
I picked up an unconscious habit of
observing everything else around me.
**[09:37] Rein**
So it might be related to that.
**[09:40] Gantz**
So it stems from your profession?
**[09:42] Tania**
Beast tamers are as impressive as ever.
**[09:45] Kanade**
Or Rein is, at least.
**[09:47] Sora**
Might I ask the reason for your vacant tone?
**[09:49] Tania & Kanade**
You'll find out soon enough!
**[09:51] Runa**
Your smiles are scary!
**[09:53] Gantz**
I like you, kid!
**[09:55] Gantz**
You're the kind of guy
I'd make a personalized weapon for.
**[09:58] Rein**
Really?
**[10:00] Kanade**
Isn't that nice, Rein?
**[10:01] Rein**
Yeah.
**[10:02] Tania**
A first-rate weapon for a first-rate man!
**[10:04] Sora**
To enable even greater adventures!
**[10:06] Runa**
Pretty awesome!
**[10:06] Tania**
And once you get your sword,
let's go kill something!
**[10:08] Gantz**
But there's just one small issue...
**[10:09] Kanade**
Great idea!
**[10:10] Runa**
I'm in!
**[10:12] Gantz**
I don't have any material.
**[10:16] Rein**
Eh?
**[10:20] Rein**
It's even busier than usual.
**[10:22] Tania**
And they all appear rather excited.
**[10:26] Kanade**
Natalie!
**[10:27] Natalie**
Oh, Kanade! Hello!
**[10:30] Kanade**
Hello!
**[10:31] Kanade**
Hey, what's everyone so excited about today?
**[10:34] Natalie**
Well, you see...
**[10:36] Natalie**
The Hero, who's currently staying in Horizon,
**[10:38] Natalie**
is recruiting support party members!
**[10:41] Tania**
They're still here, are they?
**[10:43] Natalie**
Even if they are just there for support,
**[10:45] Natalie**
being part of the party
that defeats the Demon King
**[10:47] Natalie**
will earn fame and fortune,
**[10:48] Natalie**
so they're all quite excited for it!
**[10:54] Kanade & Tania**
Rein!
**[11:02] Rein**
Didn't I tell you?
**[11:04] Rein**
I'm just fine now.
**[11:06] Kanade & Tania**
Okay...
**[11:11] Natalie**
By the way, who are those girls?
**[11:14] Sora**
G-Good day to you.
**[11:15] Sora**
My name is Sora.
**[11:17] Runa**
And I'm Runa!
**[11:19] Runa**
I accept you into my acquaintance.
**[11:21] Natalie**
My name is Natalie.
**[11:23] Natalie**
Are you friends of Rein's?
**[11:25] Rein**
Well...
**[11:25] Runa**
No, our relationship
goes beyond mere friendship!
**[11:28] Runa**
It is a much deeper,
much more intimate relationship!
**[11:33] Natalie**
Rein! You took in more pretty girls?!
**[11:35] Natalie**
And such young ones, at that...
**[11:37] Rein**
N-Natalie, please don't take this
the wrong way!
**[11:41] Runa**
Humans are so funny!
**[11:41] Rein**
*Natalie!*
**[11:42] Rein**
*Natalie!*
**[11:43] Sora**
Runa!
**[11:44] Rein**
P-Point is, I'd like to take this job today.
**[11:48] Natalie**
Let me see.
**[11:50] Natalie**
Oh, an official request...
**[11:53] Natalie**
"Find mithril ore
for the weaponsmith, Gantz."
**[11:56] Natalie**
And he named you specifically, Rein?
**[12:01] (Flashback) Gantz**
To make special weapons,
I need an ore called mithril.
**[12:05] (Flashback) Kanade**
Mithril?
**[12:06] (Flashback) Tania**
Yes.
**[12:07] (Flashback) Tania**
It's said that weapons made from mithril
are so superlative, they'll last a lifetime!
**[12:12] (Flashback) Tania**
Though of course, it's extremely rare.
**[12:15] (Flashback) Gantz**
Fortunately, my ancestor
left me a mithril mine,
**[12:19] (Flashback) Gantz**
so I've never lacked it before.
**[12:21] (Flashback) Kanade/Runa**
Rich man!
**[12:23] (Flashback) Gantz**
But recently, I haven't been able
to find a scrap of mithril in it.
**[12:28] (Flashback) Kanade**
You mean you mined it all?
**[12:30] (Flashback) Rein**
No, that seems unlikely.
**[12:33] (Flashback) Rein**
If he'd just exhausted the vein,
he would have seen a gradual decline.
**[12:37] (Flashback) Rein**
It wouldn't just be all gone out of nowhere.
**[12:40] (Flashback) Kanade**
I see!
**[12:42] (Flashback) Rein**
I suspect something happened
to the mine itself.
**[12:47] (Flashback) Gantz**
I can't make my finest weapons
without any mithril.
**[12:52] (Flashback) Gantz**
I'm sorry.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Tania**
Why not be honest
with what you're thinking now, leader?
**[12:58] (Flashback) Kanade**
It's written right on your face!
**[13:00] (Flashback) Tania**
It's clear what you want to do.
**[13:03] (Flashback) Tania**
We'll stick with you, so just do it!
**[13:05] (Flashback) Tania**
No one will object
about going along with you.
**[13:13] (Flashback) Rein**
Thanks.
**[13:15] (Flashback) Gantz**
What's all the whispering about?
**[13:16] (Flashback) Rein**
Would you let us investigate
the mine issue for you?
**[13:20] (Flashback) Gantz**
What's this, now?
**[13:21] (Flashback) Rein**
If there's some deeper cause
to the mithril's disappearance,
**[13:25] (Flashback) Rein**
we might be able to find out what it is.
**[13:28] (Flashback) Gantz**
But there's no telling
what might happen there.
**[13:32] (Flashback) Rein**
Don't worry.
We're adventurers, remember?
**[13:35] (Flashback) Rein**
How about it?
**[13:39] (Flashback) Gantz**
Perhaps this was meant to be.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Gantz**
I'll hire you, then.
**[13:45] (Flashback) Rein**
Thanks!
**[13:47] (Flashback) Rein**
I'm Rein Shroud.
**[13:48] (Flashback) Gantz**
I'm Gantz Stoloff.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Gantz**
I'm pleased to have your aid, Rein.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Gantz**
How much gold would you like in exchange?
**[14:01] (Flashback) Rein**
Well...
**[14:02] (Flashback) Rein**
I'd like a weapon you make.
**[14:06] (Flashback) Gantz**
Oh?
**[14:08] (Flashback) Gantz**
You desire my weapon more than money?
**[14:12] (Flashback) Rein**
No good, huh?
**[14:15] (Flashback) Gantz**
No...
**[14:17] (Flashback) Gantz**
It's the best answer I could hope for!
**[14:21] Kanade**
I thought Gantz was just a grump, at first,
**[14:25] Kanade**
but he really just cares about weapons!
**[14:27] Rein**
Yeah.
**[14:28] Rein**
And he said he'd make me a special weapon,
**[14:31] Rein**
so let's make sure this job is a success!
**[14:34] Girls**
Yeah!
**[14:40] Tania**
The mine is closer than expected.
**[14:42] Rein**
So we don't have to take too much stuff.
**[14:45] Kanade**
Yeah, yeah!
**[14:46] Kanade**
It's so fun! More like
a picnic than an adventure!
**[14:49] Rein**
Yeah!
**[14:50] Rein**
But...
**[14:52] Rein**
Sora and Runa seem to be struggling.
**[14:54] Sora**
D-Don't trouble yourself over me.
**[14:56] Sora**
I can easily... handle this.
**[14:59] Runa**
Cut the bluffs, Sis.
**[15:02] Runa**
I'm about to pass out right here!
**[15:06] Rein**
Are you two okay?!
**[15:09] Runa**
Sorry, Rein.
**[15:10] Sora**
Despite the powerful magic we
fairies possess, we lack stamina.
**[15:15] Tania**
It's no wonder you collapsed.
**[15:17] Kanade**
Yeah, it sure is a hot day!
**[15:20] Rein**
That's it!
**[15:21] Rein**
I bet we're almost to...
**[15:25] Sora/Runa**
A lake!
**[15:26] Runa**
It's beautiful!
**[15:29] Sora**
And cold!
**[15:30] Tania**
An excellent find, Rein.
**[15:32] Rein**
I saw it on the map of the way to the mine.
**[15:33] Rein**
I thought it might be
a nice place for a break.
**[15:36] Kanade**
Then how about we go swimming, Rein?
**[15:39] Tania**
What a fine idea!
**[15:40] Sora**
It appears quite refreshing!
**[15:42] Runa**
Totally!
**[15:42] Tania**
Can we, Rein?
**[15:44] Kanade/Sora/Runa**
Rein?
**[15:46] Rein**
Well, it's important
to take breaks and all...
**[15:48] Rein**
Okay. Let's all cool off.
**[15:51] Girls**
Hooray!
**[15:52] Rein**
Then I'll go check on the luggage and—
**[15:55] Tania**
Wait, Kanade!
**[15:57] Tania**
Don't forget that Rein's still here!
**[16:00] Kanade**
Sorry, Rein!
**[16:00] Rein**
Have fun.
**[16:02] Rein**
Sheesh.
**[16:04] Rein**
Why is Kanade so carefree about everything?
**[16:08] Rein**
That's right.
**[16:11] Rein**
Will you tell me if the girls
wind up in any danger?
**[16:17] Rein**
Now I'll take a rest, too.
**[16:26] Kanade**
It's so nice and cold!
**[16:28] Kanade**
Right, Tania?
**[16:30] Tania**
Indeed, it's a fine feeling.
**[16:33] Kanade**
Something wrong?
**[16:35] Sora**
Oh, well, I simply...
**[16:38] Sora**
You both have... such ample bosoms.
**[16:41] Tania**
Do we?
**[16:42] Runa**
Yeah, look at those knockers!
**[16:44] Runa**
Meanwhile, we...
**[16:47] Sora**
What resulted in the difference?
**[16:48] Runa**
Teach me how to grow 'em bigger!
**[16:50] Runa**
I'm beggin' you!
**[16:52] Kanade**
You'll get bigger in your own time!
**[16:54] Tania**
Yes! Or not!
**[16:57] Runa**
Tania!
**[16:59] Sora**
Runa! Restrain yourself, please!
**[17:02] Sora**
You'll just further aggrieve yourself!
**[17:06] Sora**
Runa!
**[17:10] Kanade**
Don't forget about me!
**[17:17] Rein**
Kanade?!
**[17:19] Rein**
*No reaction from the animals...*
**[17:22] Rein**
*What's happening at the lake?*
**[17:28] Rein**
Kanade! Everyone!
**[17:30] Rein**
Are you o—
**[17:34] Rein**
What?
**[17:46] Rein**
S-Sorry!
**[17:54] Rein**
I really am sorry.
**[17:56] Rein**
I seriously didn't mean to see anything.
**[17:58] Runa**
Hang in there, Sis!
It's not so bad as all that!
**[18:01] Sora**
My nakedness... My nakedness...
**[18:02] Tania**
She seems rather upset.
**[18:04] Rein**
I really am sorry.
**[18:06] Rein**
I'll do anything to earn your forgiveness!
**[18:10] Kanade**
*Anything*, you say?
**[18:12] Tania**
No negotiations?
**[18:14] Rein**
Y-Yeah...
**[18:15] Tania**
In that case...
**[18:18] Tania**
Just behave as you normally do.
**[18:21] Tania**
I-It certainly is embarrassing
to be seen that way...
**[18:24] Kanade**
But you came running
because you heard me scream, right?
**[18:27] Tania**
So it clearly isn't your fault.
**[18:29] Tania**
I'm more bothered by the idea of this
making things awkward between us.
**[18:32] Kanade**
Yeah, yeah!
**[18:32] Runa**
I don't mind it one bit!
**[18:35] Sora**
I may feel embarrassed,
but you must not let it bother you!
**[18:38] Sora**
I prefer our party with a companionable air.
**[18:43] Rein**
Thanks, everyone!
**[18:45] Tania**
Oh, I know!
**[18:46] Tania**
Why don't you go swimming yourself, Rein?
**[18:50] Kanade**
It's really nice and cool!
**[18:52] Runa**
And maybe we'll snag an eyeful of our own!
**[18:54] Sora**
R-Rein... naked...
**[18:57] Rein**
I think I'll pass.
**[19:00] Rein**
* Despite that little diversion,*
* things went about as planned,*
**[19:04] Rein**
*and we arrived at the mithril mine.*
**[19:09] Kanade**
Hey, Rein. Aren't we going in?
**[19:12] Rein**
Remember what I said, about how strange
it is that the mithril abruptly disappeared?
**[19:18] Rein**
The most likely cause would be...
**[19:19] Tania**
Theft.
**[19:22] Sora**
Is that why we are observing the entrance?
**[19:24] Runa**
Yeah, betcha the thieves
are inside right now!
**[19:28] Rein**
I do think that's likely.
**[19:32] Rein**
The way that bird's moving...
**[19:36] Rein**
Hey!
**[19:38] Runa**
Hey, pipe down!
**[19:39] Mine Thief 1**
Hey, what was that?
**[19:40] Mine Thief 2**
Anyone out there?
**[19:42] Kanade**
Rein...
**[19:42] Mine Thief 1**
Show yourselves!
**[19:44] Rein**
We'll fight them.
**[19:46] Rein**
But I'd like to question them after,
**[19:47] Rein**
so don't be too rough.
**[19:49] Tania & Kanade**
Got it!
**[19:52] Rein**
I'm pretty sure I told you
not to be too rough...
**[19:56] Tania**
I w-wasn't!
**[19:58] Tania**
The man clearly slammed himself into my fist!
**[20:01] Rein**
Good grief...
**[20:02] Rein**
I can't get any information from them now.
**[20:04] Sora**
If I may...
**[20:05] Sora**
Would you like us to use our magic
to peer into his memories?
**[20:09] Rein**
Y-You can do that?!
**[20:11] Sora**
Yes.
**[20:12] Sora**
Fairies have our own special magic.
**[20:15] Runa**
Yeah, we got this!
**[20:18] Sora**
Let us proceed.
**[20:23] Sora & Runa**
Memory Search.
**[20:40] Sora**
Rein's speculation was correct.
**[20:42] Sora**
I see the people stealing the ore.
**[20:46] Runa**
The two we just took out...
**[20:48] Runa**
and five more.
**[20:50] Runa**
Looks like a bunch of adventurers.
**[20:52] Rein**
So theft *is* the reason the vein died out.
**[20:55] Rein**
And they're adventurers like us...
**[20:57] Sora**
Might I ask...
**[20:59] Sora**
Have we been of use to you?
**[21:02] Rein**
Yeah, you sure have!
**[21:04] Rein**
Thanks, you two!
**[21:06] Runa**
I-In that case...
**[21:07] Runa**
Give us the head pats!
**[21:11] Rein**
H-Head pats?
**[21:12] Sora**
Kanade and Tania testified to
the superlative feeling of your head pats.
**[21:17] Runa**
We'd be remiss if we didn't partake!
**[21:20] Rein**
I think you'll be disappointed, but...
**[21:23] Rein**
Here you go.
**[21:25] Rein**
Great work, both of you.
**[21:29] Runa**
That feels great!
**[21:30] Runa**
And it fills me with delight for some reason!
**[21:32] Sora**
My heart is soaring!
**[21:34] Rein**
R-Really?
**[21:36] Rein**
All right, let's get ready.
**[21:39] Rein**
We're entering the mine now.
**[21:41] Rein**
We should probably assume
they know we're here, though.
**[21:44] Tania**
Indeed.
**[21:45] Kanade**
But how'd they find out we were here?
**[21:48] Rein**
The enemy's been watching us from above.
**[21:53] Rein**
* The suspicious movements*
* of that bird earlier...*
**[21:57] Rein**
Most likely...
**[22:00] Rein**
there's a beast tamer among them.

**[02:07] Man A**
The guys we sent outside
to check haven't come back.
**[02:11] Man B**
Think something happened?
**[02:12] Enemy Tamer**
They were beaten.
**[02:14] Woman B**
What do we do?
**[02:15] Enemy Tamer**
We can't afford to be exposed.
**[02:19] Enemy Tamer**
We'll crush them!
**[02:25] Rein**
Careful, everyone.
**[02:32] Sora**
Runa!
**[02:33] Runa**
Yep, this one's on us!
**[02:38] Woman A**
They blocked it?!
**[02:39] Woman B**
One more time!
**[02:42] Sora**
We must deflect it.
**[02:43] Runa**
Yep!
**[02:44] Runa**
We'll show Rein just what we can do
**[02:46] Runa**
and get more head pats!
**[02:48] Woman B**
What are they doing?!
**[02:51] Woman A**
They extinguished our spells!
**[02:55] Man B**
You...
**[02:56] Tania**
A pointless endeavor!
**[03:02] Sora**
Truly impressive!
**[03:03] Runa**
Got 'em down in no time flat!
**[03:05] Kanade**
Rein, we're all done here!
**[03:07] Rein**
Sure.
**[03:09] Rein**
I guess it's down to you.
**[03:10] Enemy Tamer**
Damn...
**[03:11] Enemy Tamer**
Just who are you people?
**[03:14] Rein**
If I say I'm working for Gantz,
will that explain it?
**[03:17] Enemy Tamer**
That old bastard?
**[03:18] Rein**
We've caught you red-handed.
**[03:20] Rein**
Give yourself up.
**[03:21] Enemy Tamer**
Shut up!
**[03:21] Enemy Tamer**
You little brat...
**[03:27] Rein**
Just turn yourself in.
**[03:28] Enemy Tamer**
Damn it...
**[03:29] Enemy Tamer**
I'm not giving up... Not yet...
**[03:32] Enemy Tamer**
Not until I make that old bastard pay!
**[03:35] Enemy Tamer**
Come to me, behemoth!
**[03:39] Tania**
What's that sound?
**[03:45] Tania**
A behemoth...
**[03:47] Tania**
That's a B-rank monster, I believe.
**[03:50] Sora**
Has he truly tamed a monster?
**[03:51] Runa**
Don't they have a natural
animosity to humans?
**[03:55] Rein**
To tame a monster requires many times
the standard levels of magic power and skill.
**[04:01] Enemy Tamer**
You wanna know how I did it?
**[04:02] Enemy Tamer**
I found it when it was
still young and raised it.
**[04:06] Enemy Tamer**
So it's got no animosity to me at all.
**[04:09] Enemy Tamer**
I didn't need exceptional magic power or skill!
**[04:13] Enemy Tamer**
Go, behemoth!
**[04:14] Enemy Tamer**
Finish them off!
**[04:18] Rein**
It's coming!
**[04:23] Tania**
This seems like a bad sign...
**[04:24] Sora**
The entire cave might collapse around us!
**[04:29] Kanade**
Rein!
**[04:32] Kanade**
Got it.
**[04:33] Kanade**
We'll take them!
**[04:35] Kanade**
Tania!
**[04:35] Tania**
Understood.
**[04:36] Tania**
Sora, Runa, we're going!
**[04:45] Runa**
All right!
**[04:47] Enemy Tamer**
Murder him, behemoth!
**[04:59] Tania**
I'll watch them.
**[05:01] Kanade**
Thanks, Tania!
**[05:08] Rein**
Drat.
**[05:09] Enemy Tamer**
Get him!
**[05:14] Kanade**
Are you okay, Rein?
**[05:15] Rein**
Yeah, thanks a lot!
**[05:17] Kanade**
Thank goodness!
**[05:18] Rein**
Where are the others?
**[05:19] Kanade**
Watching over our prisoners outside.
**[05:22] Kanade**
So I came to help you!
**[05:25] Kanade**
Let's beat him together!
**[05:26] Rein**
No.
**[05:28] Rein**
I'll fight the behemoth.
**[05:30] Rein**
While I do, you capture the man.
**[05:33] Rein**
The behemoth is following his orders.
**[05:36] Rein**
The fastest way to stop it
is to get him to call it off.
**[05:39] Rein**
Can you do it?
**[05:40] Kanade**
Sure thing!
**[05:43] Enemy Tamer**
Strategy meeting all over, eh?
**[05:46] Enemy Tamer**
I can't let anyone know
about our theft of the ore.
**[05:49] Enemy Tamer**
Sorry, but I need you to die!
**[05:55] Rein**
*The behemoth may be strong,*
**[05:58] Rein**
*but it attacks in simple ways.*
**[06:00] Rein**
*Now that I know how it moves,*
**[06:01] Rein**
*it won't hit me again.*
**[06:04] Rein**
*But...*
**[06:06] Rein**
* The mine won't hold out*
* much longer like this!*
**[06:11] Rein**
Fireball!
**[06:15] Rein**
* That had an effect,*
* but I guess it needs to be full-power...*
**[06:18] Kanade**
Rein!
**[06:19] Kanade**
I caught him!
**[06:21] Enemy Tamer**
Darn it...
**[06:21] Rein**
Great! Hey, call off the behemoth—
**[06:23] Enemy Tamer**
I'd rather die!
**[06:25] Kanade**
Darn it! How come?!
**[06:27] Enemy Tamer**
Sh-Shut up!
**[06:29] Enemy Tamer**
Behemoth!
**[06:30] Enemy Tamer**
Kill that guy!
**[06:39] Rein**
*There's only one way to stop it.*
**[06:41] Rein**
*But can I do it?*
**[06:42] Kanade**
Rein!
**[06:43] Kanade**
*You're not useless at all, Rein!*
**[06:46] Kanade**
*If anything, you're really strong!*
**[06:49] Rein**
* She said my abilities,*
* which I thought were mundane,*
**[06:52] Rein**
*were actually incredibly strong.*
**[06:55] Rein**
*That they were things no one else could do.*
**[06:57] Rein**
*My comrades taught me that.*
**[07:00] Rein**
*I'm going to trust in their words.*
**[07:03] Enemy Tamer**
Finish him!
**[07:04] Rein**
*And in my own power!*
**[07:06] Kanade**
Rein!
**[07:15] Enemy Tamer**
What are you doing, behemoth?!
**[07:17] Enemy Tamer**
Beat that guy already!
**[07:20] Enemy Tamer**
Darn it... What'd you do to my behemoth?!
**[07:27] Rein**
I tamed it and took it for my own.
**[07:31] Rein**
I overwrote your control of the behemoth.
**[07:34] Enemy Tamer**
What?!
**[07:35] Kanade**
Overwrote his control?
**[07:37] Rein**
It would normally be impossible
to steal control from another tamer.
**[07:41] Rein**
But if I really am as strong
as my comrades say,
**[07:45] Rein**
I thought maybe I could do it.
**[07:47] Kanade**
* To steal control...*
* I've never heard of that before.*
**[07:51] Kanade**
*Rein really is amazing!*
**[07:53] Enemy Tamer**
Preposterous...
**[07:54] Enemy Tamer**
You can't just do that!
**[07:56] Enemy Tamer**
I'm a top-rank beast tamer!
**[07:59] Enemy Tamer**
I'm the one who won over the behemoth!
**[08:02] Enemy Tamer**
Move, behemoth!
**[08:03] Enemy Tamer**
I'm your master!
**[08:05] Enemy Tamer**
Remember!
**[08:06] Enemy Tamer**
Get him, behemoth!
**[08:08] Rein**
Stop! Don't provoke it!
**[08:11] Enemy Tamer**
Kill him! Kill him!
**[08:12] Enemy Tamer**
Kill him already!
**[08:19] Rein**
Fireball!
**[08:35] Enemy Tamer**
Wh-Why?
**[08:39] Rein**
Even through taming,
**[08:41] Rein**
it's impossible to fully eliminate
a monster's animosity towards humans.
**[08:44] Rein**
It was just barely keeping
that animosity under control,
**[08:47] Rein**
but your own animosity sparked it to rampage.
**[08:50] Rein**
It's a shame, but this was the only way.
**[08:57] Kanade**
Rein...
**[09:04] Rein**
*We talked to the ore thieves.*
**[09:07] Rein**
* They had one thing in common:*
* they'd all bought weapons from Gantz.*
**[09:12] Rein**
* They all bought his*
* half-heartedly created weapons.*
**[09:16] Rein**
* But when other adventurers*
* pointed out how mediocre they were,*
**[09:20] Rein**
*they decided to take revenge*
**[09:23] Rein**
* by stealing the mithril*
* so he couldn't make weapons.*
**[09:26] Rein**
* To steal Gantz's pride*
* and soul as a craftsman.*
**[09:30] Gantz**
So that's the story, eh?
**[09:32] Rein**
Gantz...
**[09:33] Gantz**
How sad.
**[09:37] Gantz**
I put my own weapons on a pedestal,
**[09:40] Gantz**
and decided the average man
wasn't worthy to wield them.
**[09:44] Gantz**
I should have made them
all weapons I felt passionate about,
**[09:47] Gantz**
no matter who they were.
**[09:49] Gantz**
And yet...
**[09:50] Gantz**
I've been dishonest with both
my weapons and the customers,
**[09:53] Gantz**
with those silly tests of mine.
**[09:56] Gantz**
I'm a failure as a craftsman.
**[09:58] Rein**
You might just be.
**[10:01] Tania**
W-Wait, Rein!
**[10:04] Rein**
Then make it right.
**[10:06] Gantz**
Rein...
**[10:07] Rein**
Everyone makes mistakes.
**[10:09] Rein**
Now that you know you did, you can start
putting your heart into your weapons again.
**[10:15] Rein**
You have amazing skill and a love of weapons.
**[10:19] Rein**
I know you can make it right.
**[10:21] Gantz**
Can't believe I'm being comforted
by a boy not even half my age.
**[10:26] Rein**
Oh, s-sorry.
**[10:27] Rein**
I shouldn't have lectured...
**[10:29] Gantz**
No, you've really woken me up!
**[10:31] Gantz**
I'm going to deal honestly with both
customers and weapons from now on.
**[10:35] Gantz**
I'll make a fresh start,
**[10:37] Gantz**
and work harder than ever before!
**[10:39] Runa**
Wow, look at Gantz all cheered up!
**[10:42] Sora**
A wonderfully happy ending!
**[10:44] Gantz**
To start, Rein, I'll make your own weapon!
**[10:48] Gantz**
What kind would you like?
**[10:49] Rein**
I'd like a dagger and a gauntlet.
**[10:53] Gantz**
A gauntlet, eh?
**[10:55] Gantz**
You sure that's all you want?
**[10:57] Rein**
Yeah!
**[10:58] Rein**
And if I can tell you an idea I had...
**[11:02] Gantz**
Well, that's quite an idea!
**[11:05] Rein**
Right?
**[11:05] Gantz**
Well, give me some time to get it done.
**[11:08] Rein**
Sure.
**[11:09] Rein**
I was just thinking it'd be
a nice time for a break.
**[11:13] Rein**
What do you think?
**[11:14] Girls**
We're in!
**[11:20] Arios**
You fail.
**[11:22] Candidate**
No!
**[11:23] Candidate**
Please, wait a minute.
**[11:24] Candidate**
I meet all the qualifications
on your recruitment form!
**[11:27] Candidate**
Why did I fail?!
**[11:29] Candidate**
Please, tell me!
**[11:31] Arios**
You say you're a beast tamer...
**[11:34] Arios**
But you can only tame
one animal at once. Correct?
**[11:37] Arios**
How do you expect to run
our supply lines like that?
**[11:41] Arios**
And you, apparently,
can't fight at all yourself.
**[11:44] Arios**
It's out of the question.
**[11:46] Candidate**
I am a beast tamer!
**[11:49] Candidate**
In battle, I can tame
something like a bear to fight!
**[11:53] Candidate**
Or a bird, a wolf, or even a monkey!
**[11:55] Arios**
In that case...
**[11:57] Arios**
Can you tame ultimate species?
**[12:00] Candidate**
No one can tame an ultimate species!
**[12:04] Candidate**
It's absolutely impossible!
**[12:09] Arios**
Which means you're worse than him.
**[12:12] Candidate**
"Him"?
**[12:13] Arios**
The minimum requirements
that we're looking for
**[12:15] Arios**
is someone who can fight for himself,
**[12:18] Arios**
as well as provide supply line support.
**[12:21] Arios**
I'm afraid you don't fulfill
those requirements.
**[12:25] Arios**
Therefore, you fail.
**[12:28] Candidate**
I'll be going, then...
**[12:32] Arios**
Next.
**[12:33] Mina**
He was the last one.
**[12:35] Arios**
What an absolute bust.
**[12:37] Arios**
Why is everyone so worthless?
**[12:40] Mina**
*The man he failed just now*
**[12:43] Mina**
*more than met our support role requirements.*
**[12:46] Mina**
*And it wasn't just him.*
**[12:48] Mina**
* There were many competent people*
* among the new member hopefuls.*
**[12:54] Mina**
*He can't help but compare them all to Rein.*
**[12:58] Mina**
* Meanwhile, we're just sitting here,*
* our journey forestalled...*
**[13:02] Mina**
*When will we ever defeat the Demon King?*
**[13:05] Mina**
Excuse me, Arios...
**[13:07] Mina**
Is it possible your selection
criteria may be too strict?
**[13:11] Arios**
Mina,
**[13:12] Arios**
are you suggesting my judgment is mistaken?
**[13:15] Mina**
C-Certainly not!
**[13:17] Mina**
* Now that Rein's gone, he's turning*
* his anger on everyone, including me...*
**[13:22] Mina**
*But I have to endure it.*
**[13:24] Mina**
*This is my mission as a servant of God!*
**[13:27] Mina**
*Yes... because he is the Hero!*
**[13:31] Mina**
No, your judgment is flawless, of course.
**[13:35] Arios**
Yeah.
**[13:36] Arios**
I guess we'll just have to hang out
in this city a little longer.
**[13:41] Arios**
It's possible Leane and Aggath
might find a good candidate.
**[13:45] Mina**
You're right.
**[13:46] Mina**
We mustn't rush things, after all.
**[13:48] Arios**
Mina, I'm sure you're exhausted
from all these interviews.
**[13:52] Arios**
Go on and take a rest.
**[13:53] Mina**
Thank you.
**[13:58] Mina**
I hope you'll rest when you
need to, as well, Arios.
**[14:01] Mina**
You have a mission
to save this world, after all.
**[14:09] Arios**
Save the world, eh?
**[14:15] Arios**
There's something I have to do before then.
**[14:19] Arios**
Use this...
**[14:25] Arios**
And eliminate Rein!
**[14:32] Natalie**
Oh?
**[14:33] Natalie**
Hello, Rein!
**[14:34] Natalie**
Did you come today to see me?
**[14:38] Rein**
Just had a question, actually.
**[14:40] Rein**
What happened to those ore thieves earlier?
**[14:43] Natalie**
The ones Gantz hired you to stop?
**[14:45] Natalie**
They were stripped of
their adventurer licenses
**[14:48] Natalie**
and sentenced to hard labor.
**[14:50] Rein**
That's pretty harsh...
**[14:52] Natalie**
Stealing ore and taming a monster...
**[14:54] Natalie**
Those alone are major crimes,
but they had other offenses.
**[14:57] Natalie**
It's a suitable punishment.
**[15:00] Rein**
I see...
**[15:04] Sora**
Rein!
**[15:06] Sora**
What did she say?
**[15:07] Rein**
The thieves were punished.
**[15:09] Sora**
Rein...
**[15:11] Sora**
There is no doubt in my mind
that you behaved correctly.
**[15:15] Sora**
Leaving the behemoth at large would have
caused great harm to many more people.
**[15:19] Runa**
Yeah. We got the mithril back,
and made Gantz happy.
**[15:23] Runa**
It's a good ending!
**[15:24] Rein**
Sora.
**[15:25] Rein**
Runa.
**[15:26] Rein**
You're right. Thanks.
**[15:32] Rein**
It's a nice, sunny day.
**[15:33] Rein**
Want to take a walk before we head back?
**[15:34] Sora**
Yes!
**[15:35] Runa**
Totally!
**[15:54] Runa**
This is fun!
**[15:57] Hot Dog Seller**
Here you are!
**[15:59] Runa**
Rein!
**[16:00] Runa**
What're those things?!
**[16:02] Rein**
Those? They're hot dogs.
**[16:04] Sora & Runa**
Hot dogs?
**[16:05] Rein**
Yeah.
**[16:06] Rein**
Stick a sausage on a bun,
add ketchup, and eat it.
**[16:10] Sora**
S-Sausage?
**[16:12] Runa**
Ketchup?
**[16:15] Rein**
Want to try one?
**[16:16] Sora & Runa**
Hooray!
**[16:27] Rein**
Is it good?
**[16:30] Runa**
Smmgmmmd!
**[16:34] Rein**
You can tell me when you've finished.
**[16:39] Runa**
I lost my head and ate it all!
**[16:41] Runa**
And now it's gone!
**[16:43] Sora**
I-If only I had savored it more!
**[16:46] Rein**
We can come back here if you like it.
**[16:48] Runa**
Really?!
**[16:49] Rein**
Yeah, with Kanade and Tania next time.
**[16:52] Runa**
Sure!
**[16:52] Sora**
Of course!
**[16:54] Runa**
We can rub it in Kanade
and Tania's faces, too!
**[16:57] Sora**
Runa...
**[16:58] Runa**
Oh, almost forgot!
**[17:00] Runa**
We were gonna ask Rein that thing!
**[17:03] Rein**
What is it?
**[17:06] Runa**
It's about the ability you got
through contracting with us!
**[17:10] Rein**
Ability?
**[17:11] Sora**
You attained physical prowess
by contracting with Kanade.
**[17:16] Sora**
You attained greater magic power
by contracting with Tania.
**[17:19] Rein**
Fireball!
**[17:20] Runa**
So contracting with us
oughta do somethin', too!
**[17:24] Sora**
Well? Do you feel different in any way?
**[17:39] Rein**
Not really, I guess.
**[17:42] Sora**
Not in the slightest?
**[17:43] Runa**
Not even in magic power,
the fairy specialty?!
**[17:48] Rein**
Nope.
**[17:50] Sora**
Perhaps he's learned the spells
in our repertoire!
**[17:55] Runa**
Yeah! I'll bet!
**[17:57] Runa**
Maybe he's got ultimate magic now!
**[18:00] Sora**
Yes indeed!
**[18:02] Rein**
Ultimate magic?
**[18:03] Runa**
Yeah!
**[18:04] Runa**
Way better than advanced and epic magic,
**[18:07] Runa**
it's a prized technique
that only us fairies can use!
**[18:10] Runa**
Ultimate magic!
**[18:12] Sora**
Although we ourselves cannot yet use it...
**[18:14] Runa**
...maybe you can!
**[18:17] Sora**
Well?
**[18:18] Runa**
Has the structure of the spells
you learned appeared in your mind?
**[18:22] Rein**
No, I can't think of any new spells...
**[18:26] Rein**
Wh-What's wrong?!
**[18:27] Sora**
Our contract has gifted him nothing at all...
**[18:30] Runa**
I feel like a pair of worthless bums!
**[18:34] Sora**
We may be failed familiars!
**[18:35] Runa**
Yeah, we're failed familiars!
**[18:37] Rein**
You're really not!
**[18:40] Rein**
I don't judge my companions
based on contracts and abilities.
**[18:44] Rein**
Even if you didn't give me anything new,
**[18:46] Rein**
I still treasure your companionship.
**[18:49] Rein**
So please, no more talk about being failures.
**[18:53] Runa**
Hey, Rein.
**[18:54] Runa**
Why do you put so much faith in us?
**[18:59] Sora**
Those of our own village abandoned us.
**[19:03] Runa**
And, I mean, we can't blame them...
**[19:06] Runa**
Given how bad we messed up,
it makes sense that they would.
**[19:10] Sora**
Sad though it may be...
**[19:12] Sora**
But you do not do the same.
**[19:14] Runa**
Kanade and Tania are so strong.
**[19:17] Runa**
The last job showed us that, plain as day.
**[19:19] Runa**
You've got companions
who are plenty stronger,
**[19:22] Runa**
but you still act like you need us.
**[19:24] Runa**
We wanna know why!
**[19:28] Rein**
Oh, that?
**[19:29] Rein**
I guess I'll tell you, then.
**[19:32] Rein**
You know I was kicked out of
the Hero's party, right?
**[19:36] Sora**
Yes... they fired you without notice.
**[19:39] Rein**
I've been thinking ever since.
**[19:41] Rein**
Why didn't that whole thing work out?
**[19:44] Runa**
How come?
**[19:46] Rein**
It wasn't just their fault.
**[19:48] Rein**
I didn't trust them, either.
**[19:51] Sora**
Trust?
**[19:52] Rein**
Back when we'd first set out,
**[19:55] Rein**
I didn't have any confidence in myself.
**[19:59] Rein**
Maybe I was afraid of Arios...
of the Hero telling me that he didn't need me.
**[20:05] Rein**
So I worked so hard to be useful,
**[20:08] Rein**
but they still kicked me out.
**[20:12] Rein**
Looking back, it was
a pretty lonely party to be in.
**[20:15] Rein**
But maybe if I'd trusted them more,
things might have been different.
**[20:21] Sora**
That's entirely untrue!
**[20:23] Runa**
They're totally bad guys!
**[20:26] Rein**
Well, there's no changing the past.
**[20:28] Rein**
So now that I've got comrades
I want to be with,
**[20:33] Rein**
I want to work hard to build up trust.
**[20:36] Runa**
A-And do you see us...
**[20:42] Runa**
as comrades, too?
**[20:44] Rein**
Yeah! I sure do!
**[20:47] Rein**
You're both my precious comrades.
**[20:50] Rein**
Even if you don't have a contract ability.
**[20:52] Sora**
I accept your answer, Rein!
**[20:55] Sora**
Do you, Runa?
**[20:56] Runa**
Yep!
**[20:58] Runa**
Boy, all that tough talk made me hungry!
**[21:01] Runa**
I wanna go eat!
**[21:03] Sora**
But you just ate a hot dog!
**[21:06] Runa**
But I need more!
**[21:08] Rein**
Then, let's call the girls
and get a proper lunch!
**[21:11] Sora & Runa**
Agreed!
**[21:13] Runa**
Let's get goin'!
**[21:14] Sora**
You might trip if you don't slow down.
**[21:17] Rein**
*They're back to normal now.*
**[21:20] Rein**
*Thank goodness.*
**[21:23] Edgar**
Excuse me. You there.
**[21:31] Edgar**
What are your names?
**[21:33] Runa**
Wh-Where's this comin' from?!
**[21:35] Edgar**
Tell me at once.
**[21:37] Edgar**
I asked you a question.
**[21:39] Sora**
I-I am Sora.
**[21:40] Runa**
I-I'm Runa.
**[21:43] Edgar**
Sora and Runa, eh?
**[21:46] Edgar**
What fine names.
**[21:48] Edgar**
Decent appearances, as well.
**[21:49] Edgar**
And twins, at that...
**[21:52] Edgar**
And you seem like worthwhile company.
**[21:56] Edgar**
I like you.
**[21:58] Edgar**
Yes! I'll deign to make you both mine!
**[22:02] Trio**
Huh?!

**[00:04] Edgar**
Yes! I'll deign to make you both mine!
**[00:07] Sora**
T-To claim us on our very first meeting...
**[00:10] Sora**
This human is terrifying!
**[00:11] Runa**
You stupid or somethin'?!
**[00:13] Runa**
You can't think we'd agree to that!
**[00:15] Edgar**
You dare speak back to me?
**[00:17] Edgar**
How intriguing!
**[00:18] Edgar**
Sora, Runa, my desire for you only grows!
**[00:21] Rein**
Explain yourself. What's this all about?
**[00:23] Rein**
And who, exactly, are you?
**[00:25] Edgar**
My name is Edgar Fromware.
**[00:28] Edgar**
I'm the son of the lord of Horizon.
**[00:31] Rein**
The lord...
**[00:33] Edgar**
Indeed.
**[00:34] Edgar**
Offering yourselves to me will give you
access to unparalleled luxury.
**[00:38] Sora**
Our answer is no!
**[00:40] Runa**
We've got a master and his name is Rein!
**[00:43] Edgar**
You continue to resist me, then?
**[00:51] Edgar**
Hand them over to me now.
**[00:54] Edgar**
You don't want to see them hurt, do you?
**[00:56] Rein**
I won't do it.
**[00:57] Rein**
I'd never give Sora and Runa
to a man like you.
**[01:00] Sora/Runa**
Rein!
**[01:03] Edgar**
I see.
**[01:04] Edgar**
Do it.

**[02:43] Edgar**
Why can't you beat one single opponent?!
**[02:45] Edgar**
You incompetent fools!
**[02:47] Guard**
H-He's no ordinary man.
**[02:50] Rein**
I'd advise you to give it up already.
**[02:53] Rein**
I won't let you have
Sora and Runa, no matter what.
**[02:58] Edgar**
Don't be absurd.
**[02:59] Edgar**
When I want something, I *get it.*
**[03:11] Edgar**
What now, trash?
**[03:13] Edgar**
Give me what I want,
or it's them who'll pay the price!
**[03:17] Rein**
Are you kidding me?
**[03:18] Rein**
They're your own subjects!
**[03:20] Edgar**
Oh, I'm dead serious.
**[03:22] Edgar**
Peasants are nothing but tools.
**[03:25] Edgar**
It's up to a tool's owner
to decide how it's used.
**[03:28] Edgar**
Hand the girls over and I'll spare them.
**[03:33] Rein**
*They're all spread out.*
**[03:35] Rein**
* If I go to save one,*
* the others will be injured!*
**[03:40] Rein**
*What do I do?*
**[03:41] Runa**
Should we step in here?
**[03:43] Sora**
They do not know of our magical nature.
**[03:47] Sora**
We might take advantage of that.
**[03:49] Rein**
* If they use magic,*
* everyone will learn they're fairies.*
**[03:53] Rein**
*We won't be able to stay in the city then.*
**[03:57] Rein**
*After they liked it so much...*
**[03:59] Rein**
*Isn't there some other way?*
**[04:01] Rein**
* To protect the townspeople, Sora, and Runa?*
* Everyone together?*
**[04:07] Rein**
*Those magic circles... Fireball?*
**[04:09] Rein**
*No, there was something extra there...*
**[04:14] Rein**
*I'll just have to try it!*
**[04:16] Edgar**
Excuse me!
**[04:17] Edgar**
I'll have your answer now,
or else I'll begin the executions!
**[04:21] Rein**
My answer...
**[04:24] Rein**
Is that I'll never let you have your way!
**[04:31] Rein**
Fireball!
**[04:33] Rein**
Multi-shot!
**[04:40] Sora**
*A consecutive incantation!*
**[04:42] Runa**
* A special fairy skill that lets you cast*
* one spell multiple times at once!*
**[04:49] Rein**
Leave. And never show your face here again.
**[04:53] Edgar**
How dare you?!
**[04:55] Edgar**
You'll regret this act of defiance!
**[04:58] Guard 1**
Lord Edgar!
**[05:00] Guard 2**
Wait!
**[05:02] Rein**
I guess that worked out.
**[05:04] Sora**
Ah, Rein...
**[05:06] Sora**
You have our most heartfelt thanks!
**[05:09] Runa**
Thanks a bunch!
**[05:12] Man**
Nice work, Mr. Beast Tamer!
**[05:16] Man**
Thanks for stopping that big, lousy jerk!
**[05:18] Woman**
I was so worried.
**[05:21] Woman**
I can't thank you enough.
**[05:22] Kid D**
You were cooler than the Hero!
**[05:24] Rein**
Oh, well, I...
**[05:28] Rein**
I'm just glad you're all safe.
**[05:30] Old Woman**
It was quite touch and go
for the little ladies as well.
**[05:33] Old Woman**
I'm just glad to see you safe.
**[05:36] Sora**
Oh, thank you...
**[05:38] Runa**
Aw, I'm blushin'!
**[05:41] Old Woman**
But now that you're safe, you should leave.
**[05:44] Old Woman**
Leave Horizon and go somewhere far away.
**[05:58] Runa**
Bam! Whozzawhozzawhozza!
Za-bomb! Ker-blam!
**[06:02] Runa**
And with that, Rein's newest super skill,
consecutive incantation,
**[06:06] Runa**
blasted away all the bad guys!
**[06:10] Rein**
Super skill, huh?
**[06:11] Sora**
I believe it to be the power
you acquired by contracting with us.
**[06:16] Sora**
Advanced fairy magic control!
**[06:20] Rein**
You think?
**[06:22] Rein**
In addition to the continuous incantation,
**[06:24] Rein**
I think I had a better handle on my power
and my aim than the last time I practiced.
**[06:29] Sora**
Perhaps our contract has allowed you to
better control the prodigious magical power
**[06:34] Sora**
afforded you by Tania!
**[06:36] Sora**
A significant expansion
of your magical potential!
**[06:40] Runa**
We've proved we're excellent familiars,
just like Kanade and Tania!
**[06:45] Kanade**
You both did great!
**[06:47] Tania**
I'm simply glad you're all safe.
**[06:50] Tania**
Honestly, I can't believe
*we* slept through it all!
**[06:57] Kanade**
That jerk's gonna pay
for trying to steal Sora and Runa!
**[07:01] Rein**
According to the townspeople,
he's even more dangerous than I imagined.
**[07:06] Rein**
He kidnaps women who catch his eye,
keeps them in his mansion,
**[07:09] Rein**
and abuses them.
**[07:12] Tania**
What an absolute bastard.
**[07:14] Tania**
Even as the son of the local lord,
how can he get away with such things?
**[07:20] Rein**
Edgar is the lord's only son,
**[07:24] Rein**
and the lord uses his power
to silence his victims.
**[07:29] Kanade**
That's awful!
**[07:30] Kanade**
Why don't the knights arrest that lord?
**[07:33] Runa**
The knights have investigated the lord,
**[07:35] Runa**
but they couldn't find evidence,
so it went nowhere!
**[07:39] Sora**
He must be very skilled
at concealing evidence.
**[07:42] Tania**
I see now.
**[07:45] Tania**
Perhaps it's time to burn
his mansion to the ground.
**[07:48] Rein**
Wait, wait, wait!
**[07:49] Rein**
You can't just rush in there, fire blazing!
**[07:52] Tania**
But...
**[07:53] Tania**
He might come after Sora and Runa again!
**[07:58] Kanade**
Tania...
**[07:59] Tania**
And the townspeople.
**[08:02] Tania**
And you, too!
**[08:04] Rein**
That's all the more reason
to act with caution.
**[08:08] Tania**
Rein?
**[08:11] Rein**
* Having learned*
* about the darkness in this city...*
**[08:16] Rein**
*I...*
**[08:18] Rein**
*I want to save them all.*
**[08:22] Rein**
*But...*
**[08:25] Rein**
*I'm not a Hero or champion of any kind.*
**[08:28] Rein**
*I'm just a beast tamer.*
**[08:31] (Flashback) Old Woman**
You should leave.
**[08:34] Rein**
*Will we really...*
**[08:36] Kanade**
"Will we really have to leave the city?"
**[08:38] Kanade**
That's what you're thinking, right?
**[08:40] Kanade**
But you won't be able
to help the city like that.
**[08:44] Kanade**
Right, Rein?
**[08:46] Rein**
Kanade... how?
**[08:48] Tania**
We know how you think.
**[08:50] Tania**
We've been with you all this time.
**[08:52] Tania**
You want to save everyone,
**[08:55] Tania**
but because you're dealing
with an influential person,
**[08:57] Tania**
you think you have to choose
between us and the townspeople.
**[09:01] Rein**
You, too, Tania?
**[09:02] Sora**
I find it unhealthy to take
too many burdens on oneself.
**[09:06] Sora**
But that is part of your nature, Rein.
**[09:09] Runa**
And that's why we like smilin' with ya!
**[09:11] Rein**
Sora... Runa...
**[09:13] Kanade**
And it's not just you, Rein!
**[09:15] Kanade**
We wanna protect this city, too!
**[09:18] Tania**
Yes, and humans are quite amusing!
**[09:21] Sora**
I still have my difficulties
being around humans,
**[09:24] Sora**
but I do feel affection for this city!
**[09:27] Runa**
Yep! Everyone's nice,
and they've got tasty hot dogs!
**[09:32] Rein**
Thank you, everyone.
**[09:35] Rein**
Let's solve this problem and save the city!
**[09:39] Girls**
Yeah!
**[09:43] Lord**
All right, Edgar.
**[09:45] Lord**
Remember to tell me if you need my aid.
**[09:49] Edgar**
It's no matter, Father. I'll handle it all.
**[09:54] Edgar**
Gilet.
**[09:55] Edgar**
About today's events...
**[09:56] Gilet**
Right.
**[09:57] Gilet**
As usual, if anyone files complaints,
I'll have them dealt with.
**[10:02] Edgar**
And one other thing.
**[10:04] Edgar**
Investigate the man known as Rein.
**[10:06] Edgar**
Bring him to me if possible, even.
**[10:10] Edgar**
For your service today.
**[10:12] Edgar**
If you bring me Rein, I'll add on a bonus.
**[10:15] Gilet**
I'll return with good news.
**[10:22] Edgar**
*He humiliated me today.*
**[10:25] Edgar**
*I will make him regret it!*
**[10:32] Nina**
E-Excuse me...
**[10:35] Nina**
Um... how can I—
**[10:38] Edgar**
You're late!
**[10:39] Edgar**
Didn't I tell you to come
as soon as I called you?!
**[10:42] Nina**
But I did come—
**[10:45] Edgar**
You trash!
**[10:46] Edgar**
Never talk back to me!
**[10:54] Edgar**
Go on, scream!
**[10:55] Edgar**
I love hearing you scream!
**[10:59] Nina**
*Someone...*
**[11:02] Nina**
*Someone help me!*
**[11:10] Kanade**
This is the Order of Knights?
**[11:12] Kanade**
I haven't done anything wrong,
but I still feel kinda nervous...
**[11:15] Kanade**
Are you sure you're okay with just me?
**[11:18] Rein**
Sora and Runa are
a bit conspicuous right now.
**[11:21] Rein**
They're better off
staying at the inn with Tania.
**[11:23] Rein**
Come on.
**[11:25] Rein**
Excuse me.
**[11:27] Rein**
If I file a complaint, you'll investigate?
**[11:31] Receptionist**
Yes.
**[11:32] Receptionist**
The Order of Knights exists
to uphold order in this city.
**[11:37] Rein**
I'd like to report an assault
**[11:39] Rein**
perpetrated by the lord's son, Edgar,
in the plaza the other day.
**[11:43] Rein**
The king entrusted you
to maintain order in the city, right?
**[11:47] Rein**
So I'm sure you'll see to it.
**[11:48] Receptionist**
W-Well...
**[11:50] Knight**
No need for that.
**[11:52] Knight**
I heard that was a minor scuffle.
**[11:55] Knight**
No need for the Knights
to investigate such a trivial matter.
**[11:58] Kanade**
A trivial matter?!
**[11:59] Kanade**
That lord's son tried
to force Sora and Runa to—
**[12:04] Knight**
Slandering Lord Edgar
with mountains made out of molehills
**[12:09] Knight**
would get us executed for treason!
**[12:12] Rein**
Is that so?
**[12:18] Rein**
Their behavior made it clear.
**[12:20] Rein**
The knights are in cahoots with the lord.
**[12:23] Rein**
That would make it easy
to cover up his crimes,
**[12:26] Rein**
and explain why investigations
never turn up proof.
**[12:29] Rein**
I had a feeling that was the case.
**[12:31] Kanade**
That's awful.
**[12:33] Kanade**
Who's there?
**[12:37] Kanade**
A-A knight?
**[12:38] Kanade**
You followed us?
**[12:39] Stella**
N-No!
**[12:41] Stella**
Well, I did follow you,
**[12:43] Stella**
but it's because I wanted to talk to you!
**[12:46] Stella**
As a knight, I should have been
more forthright with you.
**[12:50] Stella**
Forgive me!
**[12:51] Stella**
My dishonorable conduct
fostered this misunderstanding!
**[12:53] Kanade**
Huh?
**[12:56] Rein**
*A proud member of the Knights, bowing to us?*
**[12:59] Rein**
I-I understand!
**[13:00] Rein**
You're forgiven, okay?
**[13:02] Stella**
I see.
**[13:04] Stella**
Thank you.
**[13:05] Stella**
My name is Stella Enplace.
**[13:08] Stella**
I'm vice captain of the Horizon
branch of the Order of Knights.
**[13:10] Rein**
Vice captain?!
**[13:12] Rein**
I-I'm Rein Shroud.
**[13:14] Kanade**
I'm Kanade!
**[13:15] Stella**
Rein. Kanade.
**[13:17] Stella**
I see. So it *is* you.
**[13:20] Stella**
Before I explain, let me first thank you.
**[13:23] Rein**
Thank us?
**[13:24] Stella**
I've heard that the dangerous bandits
known as the Ebon Fangs
**[13:30] Stella**
were dispatched by a cat spirit girl
and an adventurer.
**[13:33] Stella**
Then, as now, I've felt insufficient to my
assigned task of protecting the people.
**[13:40] Stella**
I want to punish
the lord's family's wrongdoing.
**[13:45] Stella**
I want your help to accomplish that!
**[13:50] Stella**
Most of the Knights have been corrupted
through collusion with the lord.
**[13:54] Stella**
They've forgotten their knightly duties.
**[13:56] Stella**
They not only cover up the crimes
of the lord and his son,
**[13:59] Stella**
but fully neglect the townspeople
they're meant to protect.
**[14:02] Stella**
Our leader, Captain Gilet, is no exception.
**[14:06] Stella**
I want to restore the Knights
to how they should be.
**[14:09] Stella**
And as I was considering
how to do that, you appeared.
**[14:13] Stella**
The adventurer and the ultimate species
who destroyed the Ebon Fangs,
**[14:16] Stella**
filing a complaint against the lord's son.
**[14:19] Stella**
It could be a turning point!
**[14:22] Stella**
So I thought.
**[14:24] Stella**
Shamed though I am to say it,
**[14:25] Stella**
despite my rank, there are only
a few of my comrades I can trust.
**[14:29] Stella**
Would you grant me your aid?
**[14:32] Rein**
I'd like to, but...
**[14:34] Rein**
*Can we trust her?*
**[14:36] Rein**
*What if it's a trap of some kind?*
**[14:37] Kanade**
It'll be okay, Rein.
**[14:39] Kanade**
Stella's a good person!
**[14:41] Kanade**
I don't get any bad vibes from her at all!
**[14:46] Rein**
If you say so, it must be true.
**[14:49] Rein**
We'd be happy to help, then.
**[14:52] Stella**
Really?
**[14:53] Rein**
Yeah.
**[14:54] Rein**
We want the same thing,
and I think we can be of use to you.
**[14:58] Stella**
I suppose I should ask,
**[15:00] Stella**
but why are you going after the lord?
**[15:03] Rein**
Why?
**[15:05] Rein**
Well, we found out what was happening,
and we had to do something.
**[15:07] Stella**
What?
**[15:08] Stella**
Th-That's your only reason?
**[15:10] Rein**
Yeah, sure.
**[15:11] Rein**
Is that weird?
**[15:15] Rein**
Wh-What's so funny?!
**[15:17] Stella**
I'm so sorry.
**[15:18] Stella**
I don't mean any mockery,
**[15:20] Stella**
but you said it so forthrightly...
**[15:23] Stella**
Still, I find your attitude charming.
**[15:26] Stella**
Yes, truly charming.
**[15:31] Stella**
If only I could have done it earlier...
**[15:39] Rein**
It's not too late.
**[15:42] Stella**
Rein...
**[15:44] Stella**
Yes, thank you.
**[15:46] Kanade**
Okay!
**[15:47] Kanade**
Let's take down that lord
and the Order of Knights!
**[15:51] Stella**
Oh, but we can't do anything without proof.
**[15:54] Stella**
We'd be accused of treason!
**[15:56] Kanade**
What?!
**[15:57] Rein**
It's a good idea, actually.
**[15:59] Rein**
We can take them all down in one fell swoop.
**[16:03] Rein**
Let's take this opportunity
to clean house at the Knights.
**[16:06] Kanade**
Clean house? How?
**[16:09] Rein**
We'll set a trap.
**[16:39] Stella**
Amazing.
**[16:40] Stella**
It went just as you predicted, Rein!
**[16:44] Runa**
We've got this in the bag!
**[16:46] Sora**
Do not speak with such confidence
in such an ominous situation!
**[16:50] Rein**
Okay. Let's carry out the plan.
**[16:54] Gilet**
*Rumors say*
**[16:55] Gilet**
* a warehouse on the city's outskirts contains*
* proof of our collusion with the lord.*
**[16:59] Gilet**
*Ridiculous.*
**[17:01] Gilet**
This is a difficult situation.
**[17:03] Gilet**
* But if it's true,*
* and the proof were to become public,*
**[17:07] Gilet**
* it would be the end*
* of both Lord Edgar and us.*
**[17:09] Gilet**
*We must deal with it swiftly and carefully,*
**[17:13] Gilet**
* without those naive fools who still believe*
* in the pipe dream of chivalry finding out.*
**[17:19] Knight A**
All ready!
**[17:21] Gilet**
We'll go in now.
**[17:23] Gilet**
Destroy our target as soon as you see it.
**[17:25] Knights**
Yes, sir!
**[17:30] Gilet**
Hey. We need light.
**[17:31] Knight A**
Right!
**[17:34] Gilet**
It's an ambush!
**[17:35] Gilet**
Get out of the warehouse at once!
**[17:38] Knight B**
We're trapped!
**[17:40] Knight C**
Get it open! It's cold!
**[17:42] Sora**
We shall see to it...
**[17:44] Runa**
...that none of the bad knights escape!
**[17:51] Stella**
Amazing. The accuracy is perfect!
**[17:54] Rein**
It was originally a trick
for snaring animals.
**[17:58] (Flashback) Rein**
This is my new weapon.
**[18:00] (Flashback) Gantz**
Yeah.
**[18:01] (Flashback) Gantz**
The dagger'll take a bit longer yet,
**[18:04] (Flashback) Gantz**
but the gauntlet's come together.
**[18:07] (Flashback) Gantz**
For you, Rein, who reminded me
of my blacksmith's pride.
**[18:13] (Flashback) Gantz**
I hope it's of use to you.
**[18:16] Rein**
*It's the best equipment ever.*
**[18:18] Rein**
*I truly thank you.*
**[18:20] Rein**
*This will be...*
**[18:22] Rein**
*the end!*
**[18:26] Gilet**
Don't underestimate me!
**[18:29] Gilet**
There you are...
**[18:31] Gilet**
Stella Enplace!
**[18:34] Stella**
Gilet Stregar...
**[18:36] Stella**
Give yourself up!
**[18:37] Stella**
Right about now,
**[18:39] Stella**
my comrades and subordinates will be
taking over the Order's branch office.
**[18:43] Stella**
And the proof of your corruption!
**[18:45] Gilet**
How dare you?
**[18:47] Gilet**
Are you the one who spread
that rumor, as well?
**[18:49] Stella**
Rein. Things have gone
our way this far, but...
**[18:53] Gilet**
I see. So you're Rein!
**[18:56] Gilet**
Luck is on my side!
**[18:58] Gilet**
Once I present you to Lord Edgar,
**[19:00] Gilet**
I'll be able to make up for my disgrace!
**[19:04] Stella**
Would you grant me the honor
of ending this myself?
**[19:07] Rein**
Sure.
**[19:08] Stella**
I am grateful.
**[19:11] Gilet**
You think you can beat me?
**[19:14] Gilet**
You'll be executed for treason!
**[19:17] Stella**
You're the traitor here—
to the soul of the knight!
**[19:22] Stella**
Atone for your crime
and regain your knight's justice,
**[19:26] Stella**
Gilet Stregar!
**[19:27] Gilet**
Justice, you say?
**[19:30] Gilet**
The prattle of a little girl!
**[19:34] Rein**
Stella!
**[19:35] Stella**
Don't worry about me!
**[19:37] Gilet**
There's no justice in this Order.
**[19:38] Gilet**
No justice in this world!
**[19:43] Stella**
And yet...
**[19:44] Stella**
And yet I...
**[20:00] Stella**
I will not be like you!
**[20:08] Stella**
Those who abandon justice for greed
**[20:12] Stella**
are no longer knights!
**[20:20] Edgar**
You must be kidding me!
**[20:23] Edgar**
Gilet and the others were arrested,
**[20:24] Edgar**
and that stubborn stick-in-the-mud
woman took over the Knights?!
**[20:29] Edgar**
Damn it!
**[20:30] Edgar**
They're all useless!
They do nothing but sabotage me!
**[20:34] Nina**
I'm sorry...
**[20:36] Edgar**
But no matter. Their numbers are few!
**[20:39] Edgar**
I have over a hundred
personal guards to protect me.
**[20:43] Arios**
You think they can, do you?
**[20:46] Edgar**
Who the hell are you?!
**[20:48] Arios**
A sympathetic party.
**[20:50] Arios**
And a hater of Rein Shroud, just like you.
**[20:55] Edgar**
Rein...
**[20:57] Edgar**
Has he been assisting in all this?
**[21:00] Arios**
Indeed.
**[21:02] Arios**
And he's a beast tamer
who's tamed ultimate species.
**[21:06] Arios**
You simply don't stand a chance against him.
**[21:09] Edgar**
Ultimate species?
**[21:12] Arios**
He'll destroy your lifestyle
and steal everything you value.
**[21:19] Arios**
Your title, your honor, your money,
your women. Everything.
**[21:23] Arios**
Absolutely everything.
**[21:25] Arios**
That's the kind of vile, little man he is.
**[21:29] Edgar**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[21:30] Edgar**
This city belongs to me!
**[21:32] Edgar**
I won't let him have any part of it!
**[21:34] Edgar**
Wh-What's this?
**[21:36] Arios**
I told you I was sympathetic.
**[21:38] Arios**
That's a magic item
that brings death to its target.
**[21:42] Arios**
You can use it to finish off Rein.
**[21:49] Edgar**
Such negative emotions.
**[21:52] Edgar**
That will draw out
the ring's power even further.
**[21:55] Edgar**
Now, bring death to Rein!

**[02:22] Guard A**
Who are you people?!
**[02:24] Guard B**
Coming here, armed, at this time of night...
**[02:26] Guard B**
Don't you realize that
this is the lord's mansion?!
**[02:30] Stella**
I am Vice Captain Stella Enplace
of the Horizon Order of Knights.
**[02:34] Stella**
I am here to inspect the lord's
domain on urgent business.
**[02:38] Stella**
Let me through!
**[02:39] Guard A**
A Knight inspection?!
**[02:40] Guard A**
We weren't informed!
**[02:42] Guard B**
Wh-Where's Captain Gilet?!
**[02:44] Stella**
Gilet and his men
were arrested for corruption.
**[02:48] Stella**
You surely understand my implication.
**[02:49] Guard A**
A-Are you kidding?!
**[02:51] Guard A**
You think you can defy the lord's will?!
**[02:54] Stella**
I do.
**[02:56] Tania**
Don't go thinking they're the same
degenerate Knights of times past.
**[03:00] Tania**
They fight for justice now!
**[03:03] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[03:04] Kanade**
Stella here took a stand for justice!
**[03:07] Tania**
Pure, righteous, beautiful!
**[03:09] Kanade**
The honorable lady knight of justice!
**[03:14] Tania/Kanade**
Stella Enplace!
**[03:16] Lady Knights**
Vice Captain Stella!
**[03:19] Stella**
Enough of that, you two!
**[03:21] Stella**
And the rest of you,
don't look at me like that!
**[03:24] Stella**
The Knights serve not the lord,
but His Highness, the King!
**[03:28] Stella**
Throw in your lot with your lord,
or let me pass—
**[03:30] Stella**
Make your decision now!
**[03:33] Guard A**
It's an attack!
**[03:35] Guard B**
Come out, everyone!
**[03:41] Kanade**
Yeah, figured that'd be the way.
**[03:43] Tania**
Just as I'd hoped for.
**[03:45] Tania**
There'd be no use for us otherwise.
**[03:49] Stella**
Kanade, Tania.
**[03:50] Stella**
Let me thank you anew.
**[03:52] Stella**
I could not have done this without you.
**[03:54] Kanade**
Hey, no prob!
**[03:56] Tania**
Like our master,
we're doing this quite enthusiastically.
**[04:00] Stella**
Now, let's execute Rein's plan!
**[04:02] Tania**
Right.
**[04:02] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[04:07] Edgar**
So they've come...
**[04:09] Edgar**
That trash, enacting their
ridiculous ideas about justice!
**[04:20] Edgar**
So those are the ultimate
species serving Rein Shroud?
**[04:24] Edgar**
If I use this to take out Rein,
it will end their contract,
**[04:27] Edgar**
and they'll lose their reason to fight.
**[04:30] Edgar**
Perhaps I'll even become their new master!
**[04:33] Edgar**
Now, where is he?
**[04:50] Rein**
Looks like things have started.
**[04:52] Sora**
The diversion allowed us
to infiltrate with ease.
**[04:56] Sora**
Now, we must locate the townspeople
kidnapped by the lord's son—
**[04:59] Runa**
And save the heck out of 'em!
**[05:01] Sora**
Runa, restrain yourself!
**[05:03] Sora**
If we are to prevent their being used as
hostages, we must save them *covertly*!
**[05:08] Rein**
So we'd better get searching.
**[05:10] Runa**
You got it!
**[05:11] Runa**
I'm gonna show what I can do!
**[05:14] Sora**
I told you, restrain yourself!
**[05:17] Runa**
You're not usually this violent, Sis...
**[05:19] Runa**
Material Search.
**[05:24] Rein**
Tania used that spell before.
**[05:27] Rein**
It lets you read the flow of magic, right?
**[05:30] Sora**
All humans possess
some level of magical ability.
**[05:33] Sora**
If we trace back its signature...
**[05:34] Rein**
We can find the kidnapped people!
**[05:36] Sora**
Then we will use our teleport magic
to evacuate them.
**[05:41] Sora**
Then the diversion team
can fight without concern.
**[05:45] Rein**
Then we win by arresting
the lord and his son,
**[05:47] Rein**
and finding proof of their wrongdoing.
**[05:52] Runa**
What the heck is this?
**[05:54] Rein**
What's the matter?
**[05:55] Runa**
I'm picking up a huge magic signature below
us which is likely the kidnapped people...
**[06:01] Runa**
But there's another
super huge signature out there.
**[06:04] Runa**
Definitely not a human.
**[06:07] Runa**
This magical quantity...
**[06:09] Runa**
It's on par with our own.
**[06:11] Sora**
On par with our own?
**[06:14] Rein**
You mean... an ultimate species?!
**[06:16] Runa**
What do we do, Rein?
**[06:18] Rein**
*What would an ultimate species be doing here?*
**[06:21] Rein**
*Was it kidnapped like the townspeople?*
**[06:24] Rein**
* Or is it the lord*
* and his son's ace in the hole?*
**[06:27] Rein**
*One way or another, I...*
**[06:31] Rein**
All right.
**[06:32] Rein**
Can I rely on you two
to save the kidnapped people?
**[06:36] Sora**
Of course you can, but...
**[06:38] Runa**
What are you gonna do, Rein?
**[06:40] Rein**
I need to check out
the source of the magic signal.
**[06:42] Rein**
We can't just let it remain
unknown in this situation.
**[06:47] Sora**
It's too dangerous!
**[06:48] Sora**
Whatever it is, it possesses
magical power on par with our own!
**[06:52] Runa**
Yeah, that's a no-go!
**[06:53] Runa**
We're gonna go with—
**[06:55] Rein**
Thanks for caring, you two.
**[06:58] Rein**
But I don't have teleport magic, so I can't
help getting the trapped people to safety.
**[07:04] Rein**
I'm sorry about this.
**[07:05] Rein**
Even if it is to save all those people,
you'll have to reveal your secret.
**[07:11] Sora**
Oh, you.
**[07:12] Sora**
How can you be worried about others,
even at a time like this?
**[07:15] Sora**
What a troublesome master we have!
**[07:17] Runa**
For real!
**[07:19] Runa**
Okay!
**[07:20] Runa**
If you don't come back safe, as punishment,
**[07:22] Runa**
you'll be forced to administer
a hundred head pats!
**[07:24] Runa**
You take care, got it?!
**[07:26] Runa**
You hear me?!
**[07:27] Rein**
I hear you.
**[07:29] Rein**
I won't do anything to aggrieve you.
**[07:33] Rein**
Now, let's move out!
**[07:50] Rein**
Is this the place?
**[07:55] Rein**
A cell?
**[07:59] Rein**
Fox-like ears... three tails...
**[08:04] Rein**
I know what this is.
**[08:05] Rein**
An ultimate species...
**[08:07] Rein**
A demigod.
**[08:17] Rein**
Are you all right?
**[08:19] Rein**
Heal!
**[08:31] Rein**
It's okay.
**[08:32] Rein**
I'm here to help.
**[08:38] Rein**
I'm Rein.
**[08:39] Rein**
Who are you?
**[08:42] Nina**
Nina.
**[08:44] Nina**
I'm Nina!
**[08:52] (Flashback) Edgar**
I didn't expect much
from this backwater burg.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Edgar**
To think I'd score myself
an ultimate species...
**[08:56] (Flashback) Edgar**
and a child, at that!
**[08:59] (Flashback) Nina**
S-Stay back!
**[09:02] (Flashback) Edgar**
D-Damn you!
**[09:04] (Flashback) Edgar**
You impudent beast!
**[09:06] (Flashback) Edgar**
Do it!
**[09:07] (Flashback) Soldier**
Sir!
**[09:08] (Flashback) Nina**
Please... go away.
**[09:15] (Flashback) Edgar**
I think even a beast like you
knows the right choice to make here.
**[09:22] (Flashback) Nina**
D-Don't do that...
**[09:25] (Flashback) Edgar**
Did you just give me an order?
**[09:28] (Flashback) Nina**
Please... don't do it...
**[09:31] (Flashback) Nina**
Please.
**[09:38] (Flashback) Edgar**
It's a slave collar.
**[09:40] (Flashback) Edgar**
Put it on.
**[09:42] (Flashback) Nina**
I will.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Edgar**
The ecstasy of tormenting
an ultimate species!
**[09:57] (Flashback) Edgar**
It's unparalleled!
**[09:59] (Flashback) Edgar**
Demigods, gifted a piece
of the power and name of the gods...
**[10:04] (Flashback) Edgar**
With you in my service,
I'm as good as a god myself!
**[10:12] Nina**
I've been all alone here ever since,
scared and in pain.
**[10:16] Nina**
But I endured it...
**[10:19] Rein**
I see.
**[10:21] Rein**
You're very strong and kind.
**[10:25] Rein**
Don't worry. I'll save you.
**[10:28] Nina**
N-No!
**[10:30] Nina**
It has a powerful spell on it.
**[10:33] Nina**
You can't take it off.
**[10:34] Rein**
It'll be fine.
**[10:36] Rein**
Trust me.
**[10:42] Nina**
Rein, I trust you.
**[10:44] Rein**
Thanks.
**[10:46] Rein**
*A spell to subjugate and control the target.*
**[10:50] Rein**
* It's similar to the taming skill*
* in its fundamentals.*
**[10:53] Rein**
*Which means...*
**[10:55] Rein**
*I can use my power as a beast tamer*
**[10:59] Rein**
*to overwrite its control.*
**[11:04] Nina**
Rein?!
**[11:07] Nina**
Stop it!
**[11:08] Nina**
Please... stop!
**[11:11] Nina**
You've done enough.
**[11:13] Nina**
No one would be sad to lose me.
**[11:17] Nina**
Because I'm already gone.
**[11:19] Nina**
It's okay.
**[11:22] Rein**
I'd be sad.
**[11:26] Rein**
Even though I've only just met you.
**[11:29] Rein**
I think my comrades would be sad, too.
**[11:32] Rein**
*Yes. It's not just me here.*
**[11:36] Rein**
*The strength Kanade gave me...*
**[11:38] Rein**
*The magic power Tania gave me...*
**[11:41] Rein**
* And the magical control*
* Sora and Runa gave me...*
**[11:45] Rein**
*They should be enough...*
**[12:03] Rein**
It worked out.
**[12:05] Nina**
Rein!
**[12:06] Rein**
Thanks.
**[12:08] Rein**
I guess it did tire me out a bit.
**[12:11] Nina**
Don't push yourself so hard.
**[12:12] Nina**
I don't want you to suffer!
**[12:16] Nina**
It'll make me sad if you do!
**[12:18] Rein**
I see.
**[12:19] Rein**
I'd better be careful, then.
**[12:26] Guard Leader**
Scatter them!
**[12:28] Guard Leader**
Don't let them get into the mansion!
**[12:30] Stella**
Hold the line! Justice is on our side!
**[12:33] Tania**
Yes, yes. That's enough out of you.
**[12:38] Tania**
Holding back is such a bore.
**[12:41] Tania**
I wish I'd been part
of the infiltration team!
**[12:45] Kanade**
That might not've been the best role
for a meathead like you, Tania.
**[12:50] Guard Leader**
In that case...
**[12:51] Guard Leader**
Bring the women from the basement
and use them as hostages!
**[12:55] Sora/Runa**
Fireball Multi-shot!
**[13:02] Runa**
The stars take to the stage!
**[13:04] Tania/Kanade**
Sora! Runa!
**[13:07] Sora**
We have taken all of
the prisoners to a safe location!
**[13:11] Sora**
You need no longer fear
their use as hostages.
**[13:14] Runa**
No more buyin' time for you!
**[13:16] Tania**
Just what I've been hoping to hear!
**[13:17] Kanade**
Yeah! Let's do this!
**[13:24] Stella**
The minute they eliminate the enemy force,
**[13:26] Stella**
I want you to take them into custody!
**[13:30] Stella**
I'll enter the mansion and arrest
the lord's family myself!
**[13:34] Knights**
Yes, ma'am!
**[13:36] Edgar**
Damnation!
**[13:37] Edgar**
Those worthless fools!
**[13:39] Lord**
Edgar!
**[13:40] Lord**
What in the world is happening?
**[13:42] Lord**
You said you'd handle this!
**[13:44] Edgar**
Father...
**[13:46] Edgar**
You escape without me.
**[13:48] Edgar**
I'll dispose of the proof of our wrongdoing.
**[13:50] Edgar**
The Knights can't touch us without it.
**[13:54] Lord**
Oh, how true!
**[13:55] Lord**
You're so wise, my son!
**[13:56] Lord**
I'll leave the rest in your hands!
**[14:07] Girls**
Rein!
**[14:09] Rein**
Hey, everyone!
**[14:10] Rein**
You're all safe?
**[14:11] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[14:16] Rein**
Oh, this is Nina.
**[14:18] Rein**
She's an ultimate species
the lord's son had captured.
**[14:21] Rein**
A demigod—
**[14:23] Girls**
Rein picked up another girl!
**[14:25] Rein**
Hold on a minute!
**[14:27] Rein**
It's not... unlike that, I guess...
**[14:29] Rein**
No, it's *not* like that!
**[14:30] Girls**
We know you, Rein.
**[14:32] Rein**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[14:34] Tania**
We're joking.
**[14:35] Tania**
Sora and Runa informed us
of the ultimate species' presence,
**[14:39] Tania**
and we had a feeling
you'd seduce her to our side.
**[14:42] Rein**
Phrasing, please...
**[14:43] Sora**
It is curious, though.
**[14:45] Sora**
Demigods are frequently worshiped by humans,
**[14:48] Sora**
and rarely appear in their presence...
**[14:51] Runa**
Not that a shut-in species
like us are ones to talk, Sis.
**[14:55] Sora**
Cease using that term, if you please!
**[14:57] Rein**
Well, we can get into the details later—
**[15:01] Kanade**
So fluffy!
**[15:04] Kanade**
We're sisters in cuddliness!
**[15:07] Kanade**
You'll be okay.
**[15:08] Kanade**
We're all here for you.
**[15:10] Kanade**
Nothing to be afraid of.
**[15:13] Kanade**
Oh, so cute!
**[15:17] Tania**
Hey! Don't hog her all to yourself!
**[15:19] Runa**
Really, no need to fear!
**[15:19] Stella**
To take a new ultimate species
under your wing...
**[15:21] Runa**
I'm very generous
with the weak and vulnerable.
**[15:22] Stella**
You truly are exceptional.
**[15:23] Sora**
She shares our ultimate species nature.
**[15:24] Stella**
But I suppose
that's what's brought us this far.
**[15:26] Sora**
Yet I cannot deny the cuddly appeal...
**[15:27] Stella**
I must thank you anew.
**[15:29] Rein**
It's your determination, too,
that brought us this far.
**[15:31] Rein**
Either way, it's not over yet.
**[15:33] Stella**
Yes, you're correct.
**[15:35] Stella**
Not until we arrest the lord and his son,
**[15:37] Stella**
and find proof of their wrongdoing!
**[15:42] Lord**
No! They've made it this far?!
**[15:45] Rein**
Stella, is that...
**[15:46] Stella**
Yes.
**[15:48] Stella**
Lord of Horizon!
**[15:49] Stella**
Submit yourself willingly
to this Knights' inspection!
**[15:53] Lord**
Y-You must be joking!
**[15:54] Lord**
I'm the lord of this town!
**[15:56] Lord**
You're all traitors—
**[16:03] Rein**
I'm sorry, I should have asked first.
**[16:05] Stella**
Please. You've made him easier to take in,
**[16:06] Stella**
and shut him up to boot.
**[16:07] Edgar**
Rein Shroud!
**[16:09] Edgar**
Die!
**[16:12] Girls**
Rein!
**[16:14] Rein**
What's going on here?
**[16:18] Rein**
A reaper?
**[16:21] Kanade**
No!
**[16:26] Kanade**
Rein!
**[16:32] Arios**
It seems he used it after all.
**[16:35] Arios**
The gamble paid off, then.
**[16:39] Arios**
You can die like the pathetic trash you are.
**[16:45] Arios**
Farewell, Rein.
**[16:47] Arios**
At last, I'll be able to sleep well at night.
**[17:00] Rein**
What?
**[17:01] Rein**
I'm fine...
**[17:03] Rein**
A hallucination?
**[17:05] Rein**
But it felt awfully realistic for that...
**[17:07] Kanade**
Rein!
**[17:08] Kanade**
A-A-Are you okay?
**[17:10] Kanade**
That weird thing swung its scythe at you!
**[17:13] Tania**
You're not injured? Any pain?
**[17:15] Sora**
I'll cast a healing spell!
**[17:16] Sora**
Show me your wounds! Hurry!
**[17:19] Runa**
W-We're not gonna let you die without us!
**[17:22] Nina**
Please don't die!
**[17:23] Rein**
Hey, don't worry.
**[17:25] Rein**
I'm really just fine.
**[17:29] Sora**
B-But that was the epic magic "Deathscythe."
**[17:33] Sora**
It's an instant-death spell that inflicts
the "death" status effect on anything!
**[17:38] Tania**
But he didn't die instantly.
**[17:40] Sora**
Therein lies the mystery!
**[17:42] Nina**
I'm so relieved.
**[17:44] Kanade**
Even instant death spells
don't work on beast tamers! Awesome!
**[17:48] Rein**
I don't think that's a beast tamer thing.
**[17:51] Tania**
But it *didn't* work, did it?
**[17:53] Sora**
Is it once more... because he's Rein?
**[17:55] Kanade**
Exactly!
**[17:55] Tania**
Precisely!
**[17:57] Rein**
Which one is it?
**[17:58] Runa**
Status effect... because he's Rein?
**[18:03] Runa**
Rein, mind if I try something?
**[18:05] Rein**
Huh? Yeah.
**[18:07] Runa**
Poison Drop.
**[18:13] Runa**
Mission accomplished!
**[18:14] Sora**
What kind of mission was that, you fool?!
**[18:17] Sora**
What kind of familiar
casts poison magic on her master?!
**[18:22] Kanade**
Poison?
**[18:23] Tania**
Explain yourself, Runa!
**[18:25] Runa**
J-Just calm down!
**[18:28] Runa**
I've been wondering for a while
**[18:30] Runa**
why it is that Rein only got one power
from formin' a contract with both of us.
**[18:35] Runa**
It seemed kinda unfair.
**[18:38] Kanade**
She's got a good point!
**[18:40] Runa**
So I figured maybe our contract
gave him a second ability.
**[18:44] Runa**
And it might be status effect nullification!
**[18:48] Tania**
A contract with an ultimate species
**[18:50] Tania**
*could* be enough for
nullification of epic instant-death magic.
**[18:55] Kanade**
And the poison didn't work, either!
**[18:57] Rein**
Another powerful skill, huh?
**[19:00] Runa**
My intellectual curiosity is satisfied,
**[19:02] Runa**
and Rein learned about his new skill.
**[19:04] Runa**
I'd call that a situation
where the ends justify the mea—
**[19:06] Sora**
There are no ends that justify
unauthorized experimentation on Rein!
**[19:12] Runa**
Sorry, Sis!
**[19:14] Kanade**
Hey, no worries.
**[19:16] Kanade**
Don't look directly at it!
**[19:17] Rein**
I think Sora might be...
**[19:19] Tania**
...a bad person to get
on the bad side of, yes.
**[19:22] Stella**
Watching you people makes me question
my understanding of the world.
**[19:26] Kanade/Tania**
She lumped us in with Rein?!
**[19:29] Rein**
You guys can be really mean.
**[19:31] Edgar**
*Why? Why didn't he die?!*
**[19:34] Edgar**
* I'm the son of a lord!*
* I'm supposed to get everything I want!*
**[19:37] Edgar**
*So how can that fool still be alive?!*
**[19:41] Edgar**
* Are you going to take everything*
* from me after all?!*
**[19:46] Edgar**
*I won't accept it!*
**[19:48] Demon**
How pleasant.
**[19:49] Edgar**
*I won't accept it!*
**[19:50] Demon**
Such a corrupt, ugly, repugnant soul.
**[19:55] Edgar**
*I'll never accept it!*
**[19:58] Demon**
The foolishness of humans never changes!
**[20:04] Edgar**
Stop it!
**[20:06] Edgar**
Don't you know who I am?!
**[20:09] Kanade**
What's going on? It smells dangerous...
**[20:11] Nina**
I'm scared...
**[20:12] Edgar**
I am this city's—
**[20:15] Edgar**
No!
**[20:16] Edgar**
Stop it!
**[20:17] Edgar**
S-Someone!
**[20:20] Edgar**
Stop it!
**[20:21] Edgar**
Someone... h-help me!
**[20:25] Rein**
*This isn't good.*
**[20:27] Rein**
*That can't be allowed to exist in this world!*
**[20:29] Rein**
Get back, everyone!
**[20:31] Rein**
Fireball!
**[21:06] Demon**
Are you the ones who reawakened me?
**[21:10] Demon**
I owe you my gratitude...
**[21:14] Demon**
Thank you kindly.
**[21:17] Rein**
*I knew it.*
**[21:19] Rein**
*That's...*
**[21:50] Demon**
To express that gratitude, I'll kill you,
**[21:54] Demon**
without pity, mercy, or dignity of any kind.
**[22:01] Rein**
*a demon!*

**[00:00] Demon**
I'll kill you, without pity, mercy,
**[00:04] Demon**
or dignity of any kind.
**[00:06] Demon**
Or so I'd like to say...
**[00:09] Demon**
But I see I have many more toys
to play with that-a-way.
**[00:16] Tania**
He ran away?!
**[00:17] Rein**
No... he didn't.
**[00:19] Rein**
His real target is...
**[00:22] Rein**
All the people of the city!
**[00:25] Rein**
I can't let that happen!
**[00:28] Rein**
*It's a demon we're dealing with, though...*
**[00:30] Rein**
*I can't make them...*
**[00:36] Rein**
You guys!
**[00:41] Rein**
Stella, you look after
the townspeople and Nina.
**[00:43] Stella**
Understood.
**[00:44] Stella**
Good luck to you all.
**[00:45] Nina**
Wait!
**[00:47] Nina**
I... I want to...
**[00:50] Rein**
You can sit this one out.
**[00:52] Rein**
You don't like fighting, right?
**[00:56] Nina**
B-But...
**[00:57] Kanade**
Don't worry!
**[00:59] Kanade**
You leave this to us!
**[01:03] Rein**
So wait here.
**[01:08] Rein**
Okay.
**[01:10] Rein**
Let's go!
***SIGN*** Beast Tamer

**[02:49] Demon**
They may be weak, but they
reproduce with such rapidity...
**[02:53] Demon**
Humans truly are insects—
**[03:02] Demon**
Oh? My, my, my...
**[03:04] Demon**
If it isn't that human and
his friends from before.
**[03:07] Demon**
You couldn't wait your turn for playtime, eh?
**[03:12] Rein**
I'm not here to play.
**[03:14] Rein**
I'm here to destroy you!
**[03:19] Demon**
How interesting.
Yes, truly interesting.
**[03:22] Demon**
It certainly sounds like a more amusing
pastime than stepping on these ants!
**[03:28] Kanade**
You've been wide open for a while!
**[03:31] Tania**
Come and get it!
**[03:40] Demon**
You think that little toy can hold me?
**[03:47] Rein**
It was enough to distract you.
**[03:49] Sora**
After all...
**[03:50] Runa**
...our preparations are complete!
**[03:53] Sora/Runa**
Flash Impact!
**[04:01] Runa**
Did—
**[04:02] Rein**
Did we do it?
**[04:03] Runa**
Hey, I was gonna say that!
**[04:08] Tania**
It won't be quite that easy, I suppose.
**[04:11] Demon**
My, my, my. Five on one...
**[04:13] Demon**
And four of them ultimate species.
I may be at quite the disadvantage.
**[04:17] Demon**
Perhaps I'll call for a few reinforcements.
**[04:28] Kanade**
They're creepy!
**[04:30] Rein**
He summoned monsters?
**[04:32] Sora**
I sense no trace of intelligence within them.
**[04:34] Demon**
Now, my charming servants,
**[04:37] Demon**
feast to your hearts' content!
**[04:43] Sora/Runa**
Dragoon Howling!
**[04:48] Demon**
My, my. What worthless reinforcements.
**[04:51] Tania**
We all knew they were cannon fodder.
**[04:53] Kanade**
Now it's back down to you!
**[04:56] Demon**
Perhaps I forgot to mention...
**[04:58] Demon**
I can call them in limitless abundance!
**[05:03] Kanade**
Then we'll beat your next wave, too!
**[05:06] Demon**
I applaud your spirit...
**[05:09] Demon**
but don't go forgetting my own presence here!
**[05:17] Rein**
Kanade!
**[05:18] Tania**
How dare you hurt her?!
**[05:21] Tania**
Dragon Breath!
**[05:35] Rein**
You okay, Kanade?
**[05:36] Kanade**
I'm fine.
**[05:42] Rein**
Tania!
**[05:43] Rein**
Tania!
**[05:45] Rein**
You okay, Tania?
**[05:47] Tania**
Y-Yeah!
**[05:49] Tania**
Thanks... but I'm fine.
**[05:52] Demon**
Impressive, dragonoid.
**[05:53] Demon**
That was quite a diverting exchange.
**[05:57] Demon**
I must find a way to thank you.
**[06:11] Rein**
The city...
**[06:14] Demon**
Look at how well the insects' nest burns!
**[06:17] Rein**
You...
**[06:19] Rein**
Fireball!
**[06:21] Rein**
Multi-shot!
**[06:25] Demon**
Human magic simply can't—
**[06:28] Sora/Runa**
Gungnir Twister!
**[06:34] Sora**
Now!
**[06:34] Runa**
Now!
**[06:37] Rein**
Multi-Boost!
**[06:40] Kanade**
Here we go again!
**[06:42] Tania**
This is Rein's...
**[06:44] Rein**
Finish this, you two.
**[06:46] Kanade/Tania**
Leave it to us!
**[06:56] Sora/Runa**
Judgment!
**[07:02] Kanade**
This should...
**[07:04] Kanade**
be the end of it!
**[07:11] Rein**
Even after all that damage dealt...
**[07:16] Demon**
It pains me to admit it,
but that strike was truly excellent!
**[07:23] Kanade**
No way...
**[07:25] Sora**
He's still got that much power?
**[07:28] Tania**
Look at all of them!
**[07:29] Demon**
Yes, very good.
**[07:32] Demon**
Now, show me more
of your faces cast in despair!
**[07:41] Kanade**
He ran away?
**[07:43] Rein**
No... he's...
**[07:45] Rein**
He's going to destroy Horizon!
**[07:48] Tania**
We won't let him!
**[07:55] Kanade**
He blocked it!
**[07:57] Sora**
Neither our spells nor attacks
can reach him now...
**[08:00] Demon**
It's been a pleasure knowing you.
**[08:02] Rein**
Wait!
**[08:06] Kanade**
Wh-What do we do, Rein?!
**[08:09] Rein**
I want to try something.
**[08:10] Kanade**
Really? We'll help—
**[08:12] Rein**
But...
**[08:13] Rein**
While I work it out, the people...
**[08:17] Kanade/Tania**
Rein...
**[08:18] Sora**
You don't know how to help them?
**[08:21] Sora**
We could yet be of service.
**[08:24] Rein**
Sora?
**[08:25] Sora**
Do you mind, Runa?
**[08:27] Runa**
Sure thing.
**[08:28] Runa**
We'll use teleport magic
to get the people to safety in a snap!
**[08:32] Runa**
While we do that, you guys beat the demon!
**[08:35] Tania**
Rein! If they do that...
**[08:37] Rein**
Yeah, that would drastically
reduce the casualties.
**[08:40] Rein**
But...
**[08:41] Sora**
No need to worry
about our identities being revealed.
**[08:43] Sora**
The people we saved
in the mansion already know.
**[08:47] Runa**
Remember?
**[08:48] Runa**
We wanna protect the city
just as much as you do!
**[08:52] Rein**
Sora... Runa...
**[08:53] Rein**
Go to it!
**[08:54] Runa**
Sure thing!
**[08:55] Sora**
Yes, we will!
**[08:59] Aggath**
Shouldn't we be out there?
**[09:02] Leane**
I've heard unconfirmed rumors
that there's a demon out there.
**[09:05] Mina**
Demons are the Demon King's
front-line soldiers,
**[09:07] Mina**
the natural enemy of the Hero's—
**[09:09] Arios**
No need.
**[09:10] Arios**
Our enemy is the Demon King alone.
**[09:12] Arios**
We don't have to face the small fry.
**[09:13] Leane**
Yeah, right.
**[09:14] Leane**
The demon stuff could all be crap anyway.
**[09:18] Aggath**
But what if it's true?
**[09:20] Arios**
Aggath, Mina...
**[09:22] Arios**
Are you objecting to my judgment as Hero?
**[09:26] Aggath**
No... of course not.
**[09:28] Mina**
Yes.
**[09:29] Mina**
The judgment of the Hero
reflects the will of God.
**[09:34] Arios**
It won't mean anything
if we destroy it ourselves.
**[09:38] Arios**
* The one-two punch of the instant-death spell*
* and the sealed demon...*
**[09:43] Arios**
*Not even Rein can survive that!*
**[09:53] Stella**
Yes!
**[09:55] Stella**
We must continue to secure a route
for civilian evacuation!
**[09:57] Subordinate A**
But there are too many.
**[10:00] Subordinate A**
We can't hold out forever!
**[10:02] Subordinate C**
We just can't handle it—
**[10:04] Stella**
Remain strong!
**[10:06] Stella**
What will happen to the people
of Horizon if we fall here?
**[10:10] Stella**
To protect the city at all costs...
**[10:12] Stella**
That is our duty as knights!
**[10:14] Subordinates**
Yes, ma'am!
**[10:16] Sora**
Stella!
**[10:17] Runa**
There you are!
**[10:19] Stella**
What are you two doing here?
**[10:21] Sora**
We have a request to make
regarding the evacuation!
**[10:26] Stella**
I see.
**[10:27] Stella**
To use teleport magic
to get the citizens to safety?
**[10:31] Stella**
We'll help, of course.
**[10:34] Runa**
Thank goodness!
**[10:35] Sora**
We were uncertain that they
might take the word of fairies alone.
**[10:40] Stella**
You heard them.
**[10:42] Stella**
We'll bring the people here.
**[10:44] Subordinates**
Yes, ma'am!
**[10:45] Stella**
Let's go!
**[10:48] Sora**
You need not worry, Nina.
**[10:50] Sora**
We will protect you.
**[10:53] Runa**
Yeah, no worries!
**[10:54] Runa**
Rein's on the way!
**[10:59] Sora**
Now, let us work hard to prepare!
**[11:00] Nina**
*But is this really okay?*
**[11:10] Tania**
You're in my way!
**[11:11] Tania**
Clear out!
**[11:15] Older Lady**
Th-Thank you, Kanade!
**[11:17] Kid B**
You're awesome, dragon lady!
**[11:19] Kanade**
Leave this to us!
**[11:21] Tania**
Get yourselves to safety!
**[11:25] Rein**
Damn it... They never stop!
**[11:27] Kanade**
No, Rein! Save your power!
**[11:29] Tania**
Crowd control is our job, remember?
**[11:34] Stella**
This magic circle
will send you to a safe location!
**[11:38] Citizens**
Those wings... Are they fairies?
**[11:41] Citizens**
Don't they hate humans?
**[11:42] Citizens**
Wouldn't it be dangerous to go inside?
**[11:45] Citizens**
I don't know if it's safe...
**[11:47] Citizens**
There's no way to know where it'll take us.
**[11:48] Sora**
I knew it.
**[11:49] Runa**
They don't trust us.
**[11:55] Hot Dog Seller**
You're the ones who ate my hot dogs, right?
**[11:59] Hot Dog Seller**
How were they?
**[12:01] Sora**
They were delicious!
**[12:03] Runa**
Yeah, I never ate somethin' so tasty before!
**[12:07] Hot Dog Seller**
Is that right?
**[12:10] Hot Dog Seller**
If they like the same foods,
humans and fairies can't be that different!
**[12:15] Kid D**
Sis!
**[12:17] Sora**
You're...
**[12:18] (Flashback) Kid D**
You're both so pretty!
**[12:20] (Flashback) Kid D**
Are you flower spirits?
**[12:22] Kid D**
I knew you were flower spirits!
**[12:27] Old Woman**
You saved us, didn't you? Thank you.
**[12:36] Stella**
Get to it, you two.
**[12:37] Sora**
Right!
**[12:38] Sora/Runa**
Mana Teleport!
**[12:44] Stella**
Excellent.
**[12:45] Stella**
Now, second wave! Enter the magic circle!
**[12:47] Subordinate A**
Captain! Emergency!
**[12:52] Stella**
What is it?
**[12:52] Subordinate A**
The monsters!
**[12:54] Subordinate A**
The monsters are here!
**[12:58] Sora**
I will manage the teleportation.
**[13:00] Sora**
Runa, you—
**[13:01] Runa**
Yeah, you got it!
**[13:09] Kanade**
They're not even that tough...
**[13:11] Tania**
But there're just too many!
**[13:18] Adventurer A**
We got this!
**[13:19] Adventurer B**
Don't worry, cat spirit lady!
**[13:21] Adventurer C**
Let us...
**[13:22] Adventurer D**
...handle this!
**[13:24] Rein**
You guys...
**[13:25] Adventurer E**
Our way of thanking Miss Tania
for showing us what's what!
**[13:30] Adventurer F**
We'll help ya out!
**[13:31] Tania**
You two!
**[13:33] Adventurer E**
And it's not just us!
**[13:35] Natalie**
As a special request, the Horizon
Adventurers' Guild will back up Rein's party.
**[13:41] Natalie**
They and a few knights are currently
holding off the monsters attacking the city.
**[13:47] Natalie**
Though I fear the battle might be difficult
without the intervention of the Hero's party...
**[13:51] Natalie**
Please, to save the city... and them...
**[13:55] Natalie**
I ask for your help!
**[13:59] Gantz**
I owe Rein and his comrades a debt.
**[14:02] Gantz**
If you're going to help them
as they risk their lives to save the city,
**[14:06] Gantz**
then feel free to use the darling
weapons I put my soul into forging!
**[14:13] Adventurer G**
Leave it to us! We owe them, too!
**[14:16] Adventurer H**
We don't need the help of the cowardly Hero!
**[14:18] Adventurer I**
We can fight our hearts out now!
**[14:20] Adventurer J**
We'll protect Horizon ourselves!
**[14:24] Rein**
I see. You're all...
**[14:26] Adventurer A**
You're going to work it out again, aren't you?
**[14:29] Adventurer A**
Then...
**[14:29] Adventurer E**
Just leave these ones to us!
**[14:35] Tania**
Well, isn't this interesting?
**[14:37] Kanade**
I've got courage times a hundred...
No, a thousand!
**[14:41] Rein**
Thank you, everyone.
**[14:43] Rein**
We will protect this city.
**[14:47] Stella**
Raise your swords!
**[14:48] Stella**
Act as knights!
**[14:51] Sora**
Mana Teleport!
**[14:55] Runa**
I won't let you come any closer!
**[14:58] Runa**
Fireball! Multi-shot!
**[15:02] Sora**
Now, get into the circle!
**[15:04] Runa**
Illusion Arrow!
**[15:05] Stella**
Stay strong!
**[15:06] Stella**
We must hold them off,
no matter what it takes!
**[15:12] Nina**
*I'm scared to hurt people, or to get hurt...*
**[15:16] Nina**
*That's why I always ran... and endured...*
**[15:20] Nina**
*They're all fighting... but I...*
**[15:25] Nina**
*Is it enough to always let others protect me?*
**[15:29] Sora**
Mana Teleport!
**[15:31] Sora**
Nina, you should get to—
**[15:34] Sora**
Nina?
**[15:40] Kanade**
How's it coming, Rein?
**[15:41] Rein**
It's no use. He's still too far away.
**[15:44] Tania**
What do you mean?
**[15:45] Rein**
I need to get right up into his face!
**[15:48] Kanade**
Tania, why don't you transform
into a dragon and take him there?
**[15:53] Tania**
Not possible.
**[15:54] Tania**
That form's not particularly agile.
**[15:56] Tania**
I'd just be making a target of myself.
**[15:58] Tania**
And if I attack from afar, the monsters
would just block whatever I did, like before.
**[16:03] Kanade**
What about the fairies' teleport magic?
**[16:06] Tania**
That would likewise be a tricky prospect.
**[16:08] Tania**
Teleport magic requires numerous
conditions to be enacted in advance.
**[16:12] Tania**
Matching its destination to a moving
opponent would require on-the-fly changes.
**[16:16] Tania**
In other words, "Instant Teleport,"
which Sora and Runa can't cast.
**[16:21] Tania**
The only one who could handle
such delicate teleportation would be...
**[16:26] Nina**
Rein!
**[16:28] Kanade/Tania**
Nina!
**[16:29] Rein**
Nina, what are you doing here?
**[16:32] Nina**
I can't just run away helplessly...
and let people protect me forever...
**[16:37] Nina**
I wanna help, too!
**[16:42] Rein**
Nina...
**[16:43] Kanade/Tania**
A demigod!
**[16:46] Kanade**
I've heard demigods have special powers
that other ultimate species don't!
**[16:51] Kanade**
Something about
spacial manipulation or something...
**[16:54] Tania**
Yes. I do believe Nina could cast it...
**[16:57] Tania**
Instant Teleport!
**[16:59] Rein**
Nina...
**[17:00] Rein**
I want to get close to that demon.
**[17:03] Rein**
Can you get me there?
**[17:06] Nina**
I can.
**[17:09] Rein**
Nina, will you help me?
**[17:13] Nina**
Yeah.
**[17:14] Kanade**
Rein, Nina, hurry!
**[17:17] Tania**
Leave them to us!
**[17:18] Rein**
But there are too many, even for you two...
**[17:21] Kanade**
No worries!
**[17:23] Kanade**
We believe...
**[17:24] Tania**
...that our master will do what is needed.
**[17:31] Demon**
What's this, now?
**[17:33] Demon**
What does that mere human think
he can accomplish alone?
**[17:43] Demon**
Look at him scamper!
**[17:49] Demon**
Very entertaining.
**[17:53] Demon**
But can you dodge this one?
**[18:03] Nina**
Teleport.
**[18:08] Kanade**
Rein!
**[18:11] Demon**
What?!
**[18:14] Rein**
We meet again.
**[18:19] Demon**
H-How?!
**[18:21] Demon**
Is that... a demigod?!
**[18:23] Demon**
Of course... Instant Teleport!
**[18:25] Rein**
Right answer.
**[18:26] Demon**
And you can chain its use
to create an effect akin to flight...
**[18:32] Demon**
But it'll do you no good!
**[18:34] Demon**
A mere human can't harm me!
**[18:38] Rein**
Boost!
**[18:40] Demon**
Increasing your own power?
**[18:41] Demon**
But what good does a mere human
increasing their power do?
**[18:45] Demon**
I'll extend my honest compliments
for making it this close to me...
**[18:50] Demon**
But now it's the end.
**[18:52] Demon**
Go on! Devour that human!
**[18:55] Rein**
Physical abilities
aren't the only thing Boost increases!
**[19:04] Demon**
What have you done?!
**[19:17] Nina**
Rein! Rein!
**[19:19] Demon**
Extensions of me, devour him!
**[19:24] Nina**
Rein!
**[19:25] Sora/Runa**
Rein!
**[19:26] Tania**
Rein!
**[19:27] Nina**
Rein!
**[19:34] Rein**
Obey me!
**[19:42] Demon**
Wh-What are you doing?
**[19:44] Demon**
Hurry and devour that man!
**[19:47] Rein**
That won't work.
**[19:48] Rein**
I've overwritten your control
of these monsters.
**[19:52] Demon**
Impossible!
**[19:53] Demon**
You stole control from me?
**[19:55] Demon**
It can't be done... certainly not by a human!
**[19:59] Demon**
Who are you?!
**[20:00] Rein**
I'm an unremarkable beast tamer!
**[20:03] Demon**
Beast tamer?!
**[20:05] Demon**
How can a mere beast tamer
take control of my monsters?!
**[20:09] Tania**
Rein!
**[20:10] Kanade**
Go!
**[20:11] Sora/Runa**
Rein!
**[20:12] Stella**
Rein!
**[20:13] Rein**
I couldn't have done it on my own,
**[20:15] Rein**
but with my comrades by my side...
**[20:20] Demon**
Die!
**[20:22] Rein**
I can even beat you!
**[20:45] Demon**
An unexpected but, perhaps,
interesting conclusion...
**[20:50] Demon**
Won't you tell me your name, human?
**[20:53] Rein**
I will not.
**[20:57] Demon**
How uncooperative.
**[21:03] Rein**
It's over!
**[21:04] Nina**
Rein...
**[21:05] Rein**
Nina! Thank you!
**[21:06] Rein**
If not for you—
**[21:08] Nina**
I... I can't...
**[21:13] Rein**
Tania!
**[21:14] Tania**
You never think things through, do you?
**[21:16] Kanade**
Rein!
**[21:18] Kanade**
Hey!
**[21:19] Rein**
Kanade! Everyone!
**[21:29] Rein**
*It wasn't a perfect conclusion.*
**[21:32] Rein**
*I'm sure some people got hurt.*
**[21:35] Rein**
*But in the end, we kept them safe!*
**[21:44] Rein**
*It's been three days since the attack.*
**[21:46] Rein**
*The city's on its way back to life.*
**[21:50] Rein**
*Horizon's a strong place.*
**[21:54] Rein**
* Stella was officially appointed*
* the new captain of the Knights.*
**[21:58] Rein**
* I'm sure she'll remake*
* the Knights as a force for good.*
**[22:03] Rein**
* She told me that*
* the accomplices to the wrongdoing*
**[22:07] Rein**
*were moved to the capital for punishment.*
**[22:11] Rein**
*Stella also looked into Nina's village.*
**[22:15] Rein**
* Apparently, the villagers*
* moved away after losing Nina.*
**[22:20] Rein**
* But as long as she's alive, she'll probably*
* run into them again some day.*
**[22:27] Rein**
* Kanade's been a huge help*
* in putting the city back together.*
**[22:30] Rein**
*She's a proper Horizonian now!*
**[22:34] Rein**
* Tania had been hiding the fact*
* that she was a dragonoid...*
**[22:41] Rein**
* But apparently they'd all*
* caught on a while back!*
**[22:44] Tania**
What?!
**[22:47] Rein**
* Sora and Runa are fitting in*
* really well now, too.*
**[22:54] Hot Dog Seller**
Hey, girls! Well done!
**[22:57] Hot Dog Seller**
Have some fresh from the grill!
**[23:03] Hot Dog Seller**
Take as many as you want!
**[23:05] Sora**
Thank you!
**[23:05] Runa**
Heck yeah!
**[23:06] Stella**
You really are the city's champions.
**[23:09] Rein**
They really are amazing.
**[23:12] Stella**
But you're a champion, too!
**[23:14] Rein**
Me?
**[23:15] Rein**
C'mon, I'm no champion.
**[23:18] Rein**
I'm just an ordinary beast tamer,
the kind you find anywhere!
**[23:21] Kanade/Tania/Sora/Runa**
I don't know about that...
**[23:24] Rein**
What? Wh-What's with you guys?
**[23:26] Kanade/Tania/Sora/Runa**
Oh, Rein...
**[23:29] Kanade/Tania/Sora/Runa**
You're still totally Rein!
**[23:31] Rein**
Huh?! What's that mean?

**[00:00] Nina**
I... I want to help Rein more.
**[00:05] Nina**
I want to stay with Rein and everyone...
**[00:11] Rein**
Sure thing.
**[00:14] Rein**
But I'm already contracted to all the others,
**[00:16] Rein**
so I'm not sure
if I can contract with you, too.
**[00:26] Rein**
Okay, here I go.
**[00:42] Rein**
My name is Rein Shroud.
**[00:47] Rein**
In establishing this new contract,
a bond is formed.
**[00:53] Rein**
An oath in our hearts, hopes in our souls...
**[00:57] Rein**
Your power, in my hand.
**[00:59] Rein**
Speak now your name.
**[01:04] Nina**
Nina.
**[01:20] Rein**
The contract is sealed.
**[01:22] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[01:23] Kanade**
We're beast buddies!
**[01:25] Kanade**
You can call me "big sis" if you want!
**[01:27] Tania**
Hold it, Kanade!
**[01:29] Tania**
Leave a little cuddling for me!
**[01:30] Sora**
I, too, have always desired
a charming little sister!
**[01:35] Runa**
Big Sis!
**[01:36] Runa**
Though, I can't say
I don't feel the same way!

**[03:18] Stella/Natalie**
Rein!
**[03:19] Rein**
Stella?
**[03:20] Rein**
What's the captain of the Knights
doing at the adventurers' guild?
**[03:23] Natalie**
We've been discussing
a collaboration of sorts.
**[03:29] Stella**
I've been asking for the guild's help
maintaining order
**[03:32] Stella**
while the city's still in chaos.
**[03:33] Natalie**
We'd never have considered it
under the old Knights' regime,
**[03:36] Natalie**
but with Captain Stella in charge,
it's a welcome offer.
**[03:41] Tania**
Oh? Nicely done, Captain.
**[03:44] Kanade**
Glad to hear you're all getting along!
**[03:46] Rein**
Things are looking up, then?
**[03:47] Stella**
They are.
**[03:49] Stella**
I'm going to make the former
lord pay all of his debts!
**[03:53] Rein**
I feel like I've burdened you
a little with all this.
**[03:57] Stella**
Nonsense!
**[03:57] Stella**
I would never have been able to openly
work for the city's sake before now.
**[04:01] Stella**
I simply couldn't be more pleased.
**[04:04] Stella**
Thank you again, Rein, everyone.
**[04:07] Stella**
It's truly been my honor to know you.
**[04:08] Rein**
Stella...
**[04:09] Natalie**
I know!
**[04:11] Natalie**
Rein, the guild has business
with your party, as well!
**[04:14] Rein**
The guild? With us?
**[04:17] Natalie**
Congratulations!
**[04:19] Natalie**
You're officially promoted
to a C-rank adventurer!
**[04:24] Natalie**
Clap, clap, clap, clap!
**[04:26] Rein**
Um, Miss Natalie?
**[04:28] Rein**
I only became E-rank.
**[04:31] Rein**
And why C instead of D?
**[04:34] Natalie**
You exposed the wrongdoings
of the lord's son,
**[04:36] Natalie**
and performed the incredible feat of
vanquishing an A-rank-equivalent demon!
**[04:41] Natalie**
That deserves far more than a single rank-up!
**[04:43] Natalie**
We made a special exception.
**[04:46] Natalie**
You can hold your head high.
**[04:47] Natalie**
This wasn't just the guild's decision.
**[04:50] Natalie**
Stella and the other
adventurers asked for it, too.
**[04:53] Rein**
I was just trying to protect the city.
**[04:56] Rein**
And I couldn't have done it
without my party's help...
**[04:58] Tania**
Just accept the honor!
**[05:00] Sora**
Rein is always far too humble.
**[05:03] Runa**
Yeah!
**[05:04] Nina**
Rein's amazing!
**[05:06] Kanade**
Yeah!
**[05:07] Kanade**
Everyone's recognizing how strong you are!
**[05:09] Rein**
Recognizing... me?
**[05:12] Natalie**
You can expect significant
compensation, as well.
**[05:15] Natalie**
*Very* significant!
**[05:18] Rein**
Okay, then we'll have a feast!
**[05:21] Rein**
Pick anything you like!
**[05:22] Kanade**
Fish!
**[05:23] Tania**
Meat!
**[05:24] Sora/Runa**
Hot dogs!
**[05:25] Nina**
Fried tofu...
**[05:26] Kanade**
Can we have multiple helpings?
**[05:26] Natalie**
And if I might ask...
**[05:27] Rein**
As many as you like!
**[05:30] Natalie**
Have you added a newcomer?
**[05:32] Rein**
Yeah, sorry for not introducing her sooner.
**[05:35] Rein**
This is my new comrade, Nina.
**[05:37] Nina**
I-I'm Nina...
**[05:39] Natalie**
So cute!
**[05:42] Natalie**
But wait a minute...
**[05:43] Natalie**
Is she a demigod?!
**[05:44] Natalie**
Another ultimate species?
**[05:46] Rein**
Yeah, why?
**[05:47] Natalie**
Um... do you think she's angry
that I treated her as a child?
**[05:52] Nina**
I'm not angry.
**[05:54] Natalie**
So cute!
**[05:56] Kanade**
Wait, Miss Natalie!
**[05:57] Tania**
Don't hog her!
**[05:58] Sora**
I wish to cuddle her, as well!
**[06:00] Runa**
The tails are ours!
**[06:04] Rein**
Nina's sort of the reason we came here today.
**[06:08] Nina**
Me?
**[06:09] Rein**
Our room's way too small
for a six-member party.
**[06:14] Rein**
I was wondering if the guild had any advice.
**[06:17] Natalie**
I see...
**[06:18] Natalie**
Would you consider buying a house, then?
**[06:21] Group**
A house?
**[06:22] Natalie**
Many parties buy a house
to serve as a home base.
**[06:26] Natalie**
The guild actually serves as property agents
and provides subsidies, as well.
**[06:31] Natalie**
Particularly for talented adventurers
we'd like to lock down locally!
**[06:35] Tania**
Her eyes are so predatory!
**[06:37] Runa**
Feels like she wants to trap us in the city!
**[06:40] Rein**
A house, huh?
**[06:42] Rein**
What do you all think?
**[06:43] Kanade**
Sounds great to me!
**[06:45] Kanade**
I like this city, and sharing
a house with Rein sounds fun!
**[06:49] Tania**
It does sound more inviting than the inn.
**[06:51] Tania**
Th-The "staying with Rein" part
is immaterial, of course.
**[06:54] Sora**
Having a home base would be very convenient!
**[06:57] Runa**
Just make sure it's worthy of my greatness!
**[07:01] Rein**
We do have quite a hefty savings,
and if the guild will chip in, too...
**[07:06] Rein**
All right! Let's buy a house!
**[07:08] Girls**
Yeah!
**[07:23] Kanade**
Nothing we've seen seems right.
**[07:26] Natalie**
Here's the final property I have to show you!
**[07:31] Natalie**
It's a wooden house with a large lawn,
as Kanade and Sora wanted.
**[07:35] Natalie**
It has over ten rooms,
with large beds, as Tania requested.
**[07:39] Natalie**
And it has the kitchen and big bath
that Runa and Nina asked for!
**[07:43] Natalie**
It also comes furnished
and it's within your budget!
**[07:46] Natalie**
Well? What do you think?
**[07:48] Tania**
Hold on.
**[07:50] Tania**
If the property's that great,
why wasn't it the first one you showed us?
**[07:53] Rein**
That's a very good question!
**[07:55] Runa**
I smell manipulation!
**[07:58] All**
*Stare...*
**[08:06] Natalie**
The house is... haunted.
**[08:11] Rein**
Haunted? You mean by ghosts—
**[08:14] Rein**
K-Kanade?
**[08:16] Kanade**
I can't s-stand ghosts!
**[08:17] Tania**
You're pathetic.
**[08:19] Tania**
What kind of ultimate species
is afraid of a few ghosts?
**[08:23] Kanade**
Everyone's got things they're scared of!
**[08:25] Kanade**
Physical attacks don't work on them,
and they can possess you!
**[08:28] Nina**
There, there.
**[08:29] Sora**
Might I ask what it is
the ghosts *do*, precisely?
**[08:34] Natalie**
Well...
**[08:37] Natalie**
They turn over your pillow
right before you lie down.
**[08:41] Natalie**
They turn your bathwater cold.
**[08:44] Natalie**
They swap your sugar
and salt while you're eating.
**[08:47] Natalie**
They stick rotten eggs in your shoes.
**[08:51] Natalie**
They smear leftover curry
on your drying laundry!
**[08:56] Natalie**
These awful paranormal incidents
have left us without buyers.
**[08:59] Kanade**
No!
**[09:01] Sora**
It all seems mild...
**[09:03] Tania**
But it does make it rather unwelcoming.
**[09:06] Runa**
But it's too nice a house
to just give up on, right?
**[09:09] Tania**
I agree, but...
**[09:10] Kanade**
I c-can probably handle it...
if you're a-all with me...
**[09:15] Kanade**
I w-won't be scared of ghosts...
**[09:18] Rein**
Here's what we'll do.
**[09:21] Rein**
We'll check out the house
and see what we can do about it.
**[09:25] Tania**
A fine idea.
**[09:26] Runa**
I'm in!
**[09:27] Natalie**
I'll wait here and secure your escape route!
**[09:30] Natalie**
Take care, now!
**[09:32] Rein**
*Oh, she's not coming?*
**[09:34] Rein**
Well, let's go!
**[09:35] Runa/Tania/Sora**
Yeah!
**[09:35] Nina**
Yeah...
**[09:36] Kanade**
Y-Yeah...
**[09:49] Tania**
Would you mind watching
where you put your hands?
**[09:51] Kanade**
C-Can't help it...
**[10:03] Tania**
Ow!
**[10:06] Tania**
Rather tidy for a haunted house, isn't it?
**[10:09] Sora**
Yes.
**[10:09] Sora**
It almost appears
to receive regular cleanings.
**[10:14] Rein**
What was that?
**[10:15] Runa**
W-We didn't do anything!
**[10:17] Sora**
Is this what they call a poltergeist?
**[10:20] Tina**
Get out...
**[10:22] Tina**
Get out...
**[10:23] Kanade**
The ghost! The ghost is here!
**[10:25] Rein**
Calm down! We're all here with you!
**[10:27] Tina**
Get out...
**[10:37] Tina**
Get out!
**[10:40] Sora**
Leave this to us!
**[10:42] Runa**
One blast of destruction magic'll
make short work of that thing!
**[10:45] Sora**
We'll use purification magic!
**[10:46] Sora**
Let us begin!
**[10:47] Sora/Runa**
Holy Circle!
**[10:53] Rein**
Did it work?
**[10:55] Tina**
Get out.
**[10:57] Kanade**
It's still alive!
**[10:58] Tania**
It's not technically alive at all, you know.
**[11:01] Sora**
It moved to the astral side
just before impact, I believe.
**[11:06] Runa**
That's a pretty smart escape strategy!
**[11:09] Runa**
Though there are spells
that'll hit her just as well there...
**[11:12] Sora**
But they would likely demolish
the house along with the spirit.
**[11:15] Sora**
Shall we try it?
**[11:16] Rein**
Could you find another way?
**[11:18] Tina**
Get out already!
**[11:18] Rein**
Careful, everyone!
**[11:20] Tina**
Get out, get out!
**[11:22] Tina**
Get out, get out!
**[11:26] Tina**
Get out! Get out!
**[11:28] Tania**
A thought occurs.
**[11:30] Tania**
Does that spirit lack any means of attack?
**[11:33] Tina**
Erk!
**[11:34] Sora**
I believe that spirit just said "erk."
**[11:36] Runa**
Guess the cat's outta the bag.
**[11:40] Nina**
There, there.
**[11:43] Tina**
Get out!
**[11:45] Tina**
Get out!
**[11:47] Tina**
Get out!
**[11:49] Tina**
Get out!
**[11:51] Tina**
Get out already! Get out!
**[11:54] Kanade**
I'm not afraid...
**[11:56] Kanade**
I'm not afraid...
**[12:02] Tina**
M-My clothing!
**[12:04] Tania**
She harmed the ghost with a physical attack?
**[12:06] Runa**
Kanade's fear reached its limit and
allowed the body to transcend the spirit!
**[12:11] Runa**
Or something like!
**[12:19] Tina**
Please, spare me!
**[12:22] Sora/Runa**
Sacred Seal!
**[12:29] Sora**
We used a barrier to sever
her astral side escape route.
**[12:32] Runa**
No more runnin' for you!
**[12:36] Tania**
Nothing to be afraid of now, dear.
**[12:40] Kanade**
Huh? What was I doing just now?
**[12:44] Nina**
Thank goodness!
**[12:45] Rein**
Are you ready to talk now?
**[12:47] Rein**
You don't seem to be
a bad person... er, spirit.
**[12:51] Tina**
Time to pull out all the stops...
**[12:54] Tina**
I'm takin' that body!
**[12:55] Rein**
Stop!
**[12:56] Tina**
What's goin' on?
**[12:58] Tina**
I c-can't move...
**[13:01] Rein**
It's because I'm a beast tamer.
**[13:03] Tina**
Eh? What's that got to do with it?
**[13:07] Rein**
When I was little, a neighborhood man
told me about phantom taming.
**[13:13] Tina**
An' then what?
**[13:15] Rein**
Eh? That's the whole story.
**[13:17] Tina**
That don't explain
how you can control us ghosts!
**[13:21] Girls**
We hear you.
**[13:24] Rein**
Well, maybe it's the fact that you've got
a more intact personality than most ghosts,
**[13:29] Rein**
so maybe my words had more impact?
**[13:31] Tina**
How should I know?
**[13:34] Tina**
I ain't gonna be tamed
by a whippersnapper like you!
**[13:39] Rein**
Hold still!
**[13:46] Tina**
Fine, I give up.
**[13:48] Tina**
Go on an' burn me up or boil me.
**[13:52] Rein**
I'm Rein Shroud.
**[13:54] Rein**
Who are you?
**[13:55] Rein**
As I said, I just want to talk.
**[14:01] Tina**
What a weirdo!
**[14:05] Tina**
I'm Tina Holy.
**[14:07] Tina**
I was a maid in another city,
**[14:09] Tina**
but I kinda died,
round about thirty years ago,
**[14:12] Tina**
and ended up here.
**[14:14] Rein**
Then you weren't here the whole time?
**[14:16] Tina**
Ain't like I'm bound to a single location.
**[14:18] Tina**
I can move around pretty well.
**[14:20] Tania**
And how, precisely, did you end up a ghost?
**[14:24] Rein**
Hold it, Tania!
**[14:26] Tina**
The guy who ran the mansion I worked
at was a real sadist pervo womanizer.
**[14:32] Tina**
He even killed me!
**[14:34] Tina**
Next thing I knew, I was a ghost.
**[14:36] Tina**
Don't go askin' me to explain why!
**[14:39] Rein**
What do you plan to do next, Tina?
**[14:41] Tina**
There's a good question.
**[14:43] Tina**
Since I can't drive you out,
I guess I better go myself.
**[14:45] Tina**
Sorry about all the scares.
**[14:47] Rein**
Kanade, are you still scared of Tina?
**[14:50] Kanade**
Well...
**[14:52] Kanade**
I am.
**[14:53] Kanade**
But if you're all with me,
we could maybe get along.
**[15:01] Rein**
Thanks, Kanade.
**[15:11] Rein**
All right, Tina.
**[15:13] Rein**
Would you like to live here with us?
**[15:16] Tina**
Eh? What're you sayin' that for?
**[15:18] Tina**
I just said I'd clear out...
**[15:20] Rein**
Actually, having you here
really knocked down the price.
**[15:24] Rein**
So you'd be a big help if you stayed!
**[15:27] Tina**
Y-You think?
**[15:28] Tina**
W-Well, if you insist...
**[15:31] Tina**
Hang on, you're just makin' excuses!
**[15:32] Tania**
That's the kind of person Rein is.
**[15:34] Tania**
You should accept his kindness.
**[15:37] Tina**
But... you really sure you want me around?
**[15:39] Kanade**
A ghost or two isn't a big deal
to Rein at this point...
**[15:44] Kanade**
Just don't scare me by passing through
too many walls, okay?
**[15:47] Sora**
Does being a maid make you a capable cook?
**[15:50] Sora**
I would love to take lessons from you!
**[15:52] Runa**
We'd love to have ya!
**[15:54] Runa**
You can skip teachin' Sis
how to cook, though!
**[15:56] Runa**
I'm not playing here.
**[15:58] Runa**
I mean it, okay?!
**[16:00] Nina**
N-Nice to meet you.
**[16:02] Tina**
You mean...
**[16:05] Rein**
I look forward to living with you, Tina.
**[16:08] Tina**
S-Same to you!
**[16:16] Natalie**
The contract is officially established.
**[16:19] Natalie**
That house officially belongs to you now!
**[16:23] Natalie**
Although...
**[16:24] Natalie**
You truly are exceptional.
**[16:26] Natalie**
You even integrated a ghost into your party!
**[16:29] Kanade**
Her name's Tina!
**[16:30] Kanade**
Right now, we're all working
on a housewarming party!
**[16:35] Rein**
We should go do our part, too, Kanade.
**[16:38] Kanade**
Yeah, they asked us to do the shopping!
**[16:40] Natalie**
I hope we can count
on you further in the future.
**[16:43] Natalie**
Horizon is your home, after all!
**[16:47] Rein**
Home?
**[16:51] Rein**
Yeah... we look forward to sticking around!
**[16:57] Shopkeep**
Here you go.
**[16:59] Woman**
Thank you!
**[17:00] Arios**
Might I have a moment, shopkeep?
**[17:02] Shopkeep**
Feel free—
**[17:03] Shopkeep**
The Hero?
**[17:05] Arios**
I'll take a week's worth of rations.
**[17:10] Arios**
And I'm afraid I'm short of funds,
so it'll have to be free.
**[17:14] Leane**
But you'll be helping the Hero's party,
**[17:17] Leane**
so I'm sure you'd be honored.
**[17:19] Mina**
To aid the Hero is a duty given by God.
**[17:22] Mina**
We welcome your assistance.
**[17:23] Aggath**
We don't have much choice, after all.
**[17:26] Shopkeep**
I'm terribly sorry,
**[17:28] Shopkeep**
but I don't have any merchandise
to spare for you.
**[17:33] Arios**
Do you realize what you just said?
**[17:37] Arios**
The Hero's party is on a journey to defeat
the Demon King and save the world!
**[17:42] Shopkeep**
Hero's party, my eye!
**[17:44] Shopkeep**
You didn't even do anything to save Horizon!
**[17:48] Arios**
I beg your pardon.
**[17:50] Arios**
You think a mere shopkeep
**[17:52] Arios**
has the wherewithal to criticize
the Hero's lofty decision-making?
**[17:55] Leane**
We don't need this rotten shop.
**[17:58] Leane**
Arios, let's take our business else—
**[17:59] Female Shopkeep**
Don't waste your time! There's not
a shop here that will gift you provisions!
**[18:04] Arios**
How dare you—
**[18:05] Townsperson A**
Pretty high and mighty for a guy
who hid out of fear of a demon.
**[18:08] Townsperson B**
As if they could ever
beat the Demon King!
**[18:09] Townsperson C**
They always seemed off to me.
**[18:11] Townsperson D**
Get off your high horse!
**[18:12] Townsperson E**
Learn a little humility!
**[18:23] Arios**
Let's go.
**[18:24] Mina**
But Arios, our provisions—
**[18:27] Leane**
We're never coming back to this lousy town!
**[18:29] Townsperson F**
That beast tamer's
more of a Hero than you'll ever be!
**[18:34] Arios**
*Rein Shroud!*
**[18:36] Arios**
*I *will* be the end of you!*
**[18:43] Kanade**
They gave us so much!
**[18:46] Rein**
It was a little awkward, but I appreciate it.
**[18:49] Rein**
It did seem a little noisy
in the market, didn't it?
**[18:51] Kanade**
I'm sure everyone's just happy to be back!
**[18:54] Rein**
Really? Glad to hear it.
**[18:57] Kanade**
Oh, I know!
**[18:59] Rein**
Kanade?
**[19:04] Kanade**
Welcome home!
**[19:08] Rein**
*Yes, that's right...*
**[19:17] Rein**
I'm home!
**[19:22] Kanade**
Tina and Runa made all this?
**[19:24] Tina**
Sure did!
**[19:25] Tina**
As a ghost, I can't really taste-test it,
**[19:27] Tina**
but I made it how the recipe says,
so it oughta be fine.
**[19:30] Kanade**
Awesome! Awesome!
**[19:31] Runa**
All thanks to my help!
**[19:33] Tania**
I never knew you could cook.
**[19:35] Runa**
Yep!
**[19:36] Runa**
There wasn't anyone in my home forest
better at cuttin' up veggies than me!
**[19:41] Runa**
That's why it's me and not Sis
who'll be runnin' the kitchen!
**[19:44] Runa**
*Please* let me run the kitchen!
**[19:46] Sora**
Runa, I'd like to ask you
what you meant by that exactly...
**[19:49] Nina**
There's so much to eat that
I don't know where to start...
**[19:51] Tania**
Meat! The meat's all mine!
**[19:53] Kanade**
Where's the fish?!
**[19:56] Tina**
You can't grow up big and strong
without a balanced diet!
**[19:59] Kanade**
I almost never get to eat fish!
**[20:00] Nina**
Big and strong...
**[20:02] Runa**
You should both lay off those gross
clumps of fat! They're bad for you!
**[20:06] Nina**
You know, Rein...
**[20:06] Kanade/Tania**
What do you mean?!
**[20:07] Sora**
Runa, I'd still like that explanation...
**[20:08] Nina**
Um... well...
**[20:10] Nina**
Th-Thank you!
**[20:13] Nina**
I'm really not alone now!
**[20:22] Rein**
My home, my family, my town...
**[20:26] Rein**
On the day I lost them all,
**[20:29] Rein**
a large hole opened in my heart.
**[20:32] Sora**
The same was true for all of us.
**[20:34] Runa**
Dunno what we'd have done without ya, Rein.
**[20:36] Kanade**
We're in this together!
**[20:38] Tina**
You're all so lucky!
**[20:40] Tania**
What are you saying now?
**[20:42] Kanade**
Yeah! You're not alone either, remember?
**[20:47] Tina**
Oh, yeah?
**[20:49] Tina**
Guess I'm not!
**[20:50] Tina**
Now, get sittin' before it gets cold!
**[20:53] Kanade**
That's right! I'm pretty hungry!
**[20:56] Rein**
*Maybe becoming an independent adventurer*
**[21:00] Rein**
* because traveling with*
* Arios's party didn't fill that void*
**[21:03] Rein**
*is just a form of escapism.*
**[21:07] Rein**
*But meeting them all...*
**[21:23] Kanade**
Rein?
**[21:25] Rein**
What is it, everyone?
**[21:28] Kanade**
Well... Rein, you're...
**[21:31] Rein**
Oh...
**[21:32] Rein**
Right, I'm probably so hungry
it brought tears to my eyes!
**[21:36] Kanade**
Yeah, yeah! It's sad when you're hungry, huh?
**[21:39] Tania**
I'm willing to share
some of my meat with you.
**[21:42] Sora**
You must try my own home cooking, as well!
**[21:44] Runa**
Rein! I'll hold her off,
so run while you can!
**[21:46] Nina**
Let's eat together!
**[21:48] Tina**
Yeah, yeah!
**[21:49] Tina**
Eat as much as y'all want!
**[21:51] Rein**
Okay, then!
**[21:53] All**
Let's eat!
**[21:57] Rein**
This is the story of the beast tamer
driven out of the Hero's party
**[22:02] Rein**
who met an ultimate species cat girl
and forged a new set of bonds...
**[22:11] Rein**
or, at least, that's the story's prologue!
