[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!
SIGN    Dragonoid Power
[23:36] Kanade
    Next Time: "Dragonoid Power."
