**[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!
