**[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.
