[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.

[02:27] Rein
    Just like we planned it, okay?
[02:29] Kanade
    Yes!
[02:30] Tania
    Of course!
[02:31] Rein
    Three!
[02:32] Rein
    Two!
[02:32] Rein
    One!
[02:33] Rein
    Go!
[02:35] Rein
    Fireball!
[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.
SIGN    Let's Make Weapons
[23:36] Kanade
    Next Time: "Let's Make Weapons."
