**[00:02] Fate**
You sure you've got Wrath and not Gluttony?
**[00:06] Fate**
We just bought all those supplies...
How much do you need to eat?
**[00:11] Myne**
Rage burns a lot of calories.
**[00:13] Fate**
With all the eating you do, I have
to wonder where it all goes.
**[00:20] Fate**
Hang on! Don't do it!
**[01:57] Fate**
If you could please handle the repairs.
**[01:57] [SONG] Eptitle sign**
The Twilight Swordsman
**[01:59] Driver**
Sure thing. That'll be
costing you extra, though.
**[02:05] Fate**
Huh? Where's Myne?
**[02:09] Fate**
Just does whatever she wants... Myne!
**[02:19] Fate**
This place seems pretty peaceful.
**[02:22] Greed**
* We're near Galia at this point.*
* That means monsters pose a big threat.*
**[02:26] Greed**
* I'd bet there's someone*
* very powerful protecting this village.*
**[02:29] Fate**
Makes sense. What's that castle?
**[02:32] Greed**
* Based on where we are,*
* I'd say that's Hausen.*
**[02:34] Fate**
I thought that Seifort had
the only castle around here.
**[02:45] Fate**
Excuse me, where's the mayor?
**[02:48] Fate**
We're looking to stay
in this village for a while.
**[02:51] Aaron**
I'm this village's chief.
**[02:53] Greed**
*That's a holy sword.*
**[02:56] Fate**
You're a holy knight?
**[02:57] Greed**
*I get it. He must be defending the village.*
**[03:02] Aaron**
You'd like to stay, is that right?
**[03:04] Aaron**
First, I'd like you to cross swords
with me for a bit.
**[03:08] Aaron**
Identify, eh?
**[03:10] Aaron**
You're level 1, but with stats
over two million.
**[03:14] Fate**
When did you use Identify on me?!
**[03:19] Aaron**
Are we doing this or not?
**[03:33] Greed**
*Hey! Don't drop me!*
**[03:42] Fate**
I take it this means we don't get to stay...
**[03:44] Aaron**
Far from it. I sense a purpose
in this chance meeting.
**[03:47] Aaron**
You're welcome to stay.
**[03:49] Fate**
Really?
**[03:50] Aaron**
On one condition, though.
**[03:53] Fate**
What's that?
**[03:54] Aaron**
During your stay, you'll train under me.
**[03:58] Fate**
Why train me?
**[03:59] Aaron**
Let's just call it the whims of an old man.
**[04:02] Greed**
*This is fishy.*
**[04:04] Fate**
*Yeah...*
**[04:04] Aaron**
You don't know how to counter Identify.
**[04:08] Aaron**
You're not making the most of
your other skills, either.
**[04:11] Aaron**
I feel like your body isn't
accustomed to its strength.
**[04:14] Aaron**
The way you fight will serve
you well against monsters
**[04:17] Aaron**
but less so against other humans.
**[04:19] Aaron**
There's nothing for you to lose
from my instruction.
**[04:23] Aaron**
What do you say?
**[04:24] Greed**
* And he's not asking for anything in return?*
* Just keeps getting sketchier.*
**[04:28] Fate**
* But... it's not every day you get an offer*
* to learn directly from a holy knight.*
**[04:33] Greed**
*Suit yourself, then.*
**[04:36] Fate**
I'm Fate Graphite. Nice to meet you.
**[04:40] Aaron**
Aaron Barbatos.
**[04:43] Fate**
Myne?
**[04:44] Aaron**
Is this your companion?
**[04:45] Fate**
Yes.
**[04:48] Aaron**
Well... a warrior. And a very
capable one at that.
**[04:52] Fate**
You can tell?
**[04:53] Myne**
Fate, we can camp out over there.
**[04:55] Fate**
I already found us a place to stay, Myne.
**[05:08] Fate**
We're starting with hand-to-hand?
**[05:12] Aaron**
Correct. It's the best way
to learn to control your stats.
**[05:16] Aaron**
That's something you
have trouble with, right?
**[05:18] Fate**
I guess you can see right through me.
**[05:20] Aaron**
It happens all the time with warriors
who suddenly become much stronger.
**[05:24] Aaron**
Come, Fate, give it a try.
**[05:31] Aaron**
Arms closer to your body.
**[05:33] Aaron**
Lower your hips.
**[05:35] Aaron**
Hands like this.
**[05:36] Fate**
Ow!
**[05:39] Aaron**
You're tensing up too much.
**[05:42] Aaron**
You need to loosen up, like this!
**[05:46] Fate**
So fast!
**[05:47] Aaron**
The more you flex, the weaker
and slower your movement.
**[05:50] Aaron**
You'll generate more power
from a relaxed state.
**[05:53] Aaron**
And beyond that, you'll be able to
pursue unconscious power!
**[05:57] Fate**
Right!
**[06:02] Myne**
Hungry...
**[06:03] Fate**
* He's right, I can move better*
* if I don't tense up.*
**[06:07] Fate**
*And if I can control my stats better...*
**[06:10] Fate**
*Damn it! Why is Gluttony acting up now?!*
**[06:13] Aaron**
Your eye color has changed. What's wrong?
**[06:16] Fate**
This is bad...
**[06:19] Aaron**
Well, you're suddenly moving much better.
**[06:22] Fate**
You're a good teacher, Aaron.
**[06:24] Aaron**
I see... How about this, then?!
**[06:32] Greed**
* You're able to move pretty well*
* despite being nearly starved now.*
**[06:39] Aaron**
Tomorrow, we'll move on to
actual combat practice.
**[06:43] Fate**
Right!
**[06:44] Fate**
*I can smell a monster...*
**[06:48] Fate**
*Is there a monster in that castle?*
**[06:49] Aaron**
What in the world?
**[06:51] Fate**
Aaron!
**[06:55] Fate**
What is wrong with her...?
**[06:57] Fate**
I'm sorry about this.
**[06:58] Aaron**
Don't worry about it. I'll go ask
the villagers to share some food.
**[07:03] Fate**
Dammit, as if being nearly starved
wasn't bad enough...
**[07:11] Fate**
This is your fault, y'know? Yours.
**[07:12] Greed**
*Whoa, I wouldn't do that if I were you.*
**[07:15] Greed**
*Getting reckless all of a sudden, huh?*
**[07:45] Fate**
Is that... Aaron?
**[07:48] Fate**
So this would be his son?
**[07:50] Greed**
*He looks like you, Fate.*
**[07:53] Greed**
*I get it now.*
**[07:54] Greed**
* Looks like there's a reason he's the head*
* of a village in the middle of nowhere.*
**[08:10] Aaron**
I want you to parry my strike with that stick.
**[08:13] Fate**
With just a wooden stick?!
**[08:14] Fate**
It's obviously gonna break!
**[08:16] Aaron**
You've been training under me.
You'll manage.
**[08:19] Fate**
Understood. Whenever you're ready!
**[08:21] Aaron**
Now then, let's begin!
**[08:24] Fate**
*Predict the angle and path of the sword...*
**[08:27] Fate**
* Then with the minimum amount of strength,*
* like you're sliding across the blade!*
**[08:34] Aaron**
Well done!
**[08:35] Aaron**
You're able to control those stats, now.
**[08:38] Fate**
Yes! Thank you so much.
**[08:41] Myne**
Here's a reward from me.
**[08:43] Fate**
From you, Myne?
**[08:48] Myne**
Good. It suits you.
**[08:51] Greed**
*I tried to warn you.*
**[08:54] Aaron**
You're leaving early tomorrow?
**[08:56] Fate**
Yeah. Thank you for everything you've done.
You should thank him, too, Myne.
**[09:01] Fate**
Myne...
**[09:03] Fate**
Sorry about her.
**[09:04] Aaron**
It's no problem. By all means, eat your fill.
**[09:08] Aaron**
There's plenty of meat and vegetables, still.
**[09:10] Myne**
It all tastes the same.
**[09:13] Myne**
My sense of taste is gone.
**[09:15] Greed**
*That's the price she pays for Wrath.*
**[09:18] Myne**
I've got a mission.
**[09:21] Fate**
A mission...?
**[09:25] Aaron**
A goal you need done, eh?
**[09:35] Fate**
Is there something in that castle?
**[09:37] Aaron**
Hausen...
**[09:39] Aaron**
It used to be my castle.
**[09:43] Aaron**
That was 15 years ago.
**[09:48] Aaron**
I had left Hausen on royal orders...
**[09:56] (Flashback) Luke**
I'm going to defend the castle
while Father is away!
**[10:03] Aaron**
My family and my people
fell to a crowned beast
**[10:05] Aaron**
that had grown from accumulated aggression...
**[10:09] Aaron**
Ever since, Hausen has belonged to
the Genesis of Death, a lich lord.
**[10:15] Aaron**
My family is still in its clutches.
**[10:21] Aaron**
What's the matter, Fate?
**[10:23] Fate**
I need to step out for a sec...
**[10:29] Aaron**
You're headed to the castle?
**[10:30] Fate**
Aaron...
**[10:31] Aaron**
I'll join you.
**[10:34] Aaron**
This is a good chance
to put my past to rest.
**[10:38] Myne**
I'll watch the village.
**[10:40] Myne**
How's 50 gold coins sound?
**[11:03] Aaron**
Magic arrows?
**[11:04] Fate**
With a petrifying effect
caused by Sandstorm.
**[11:07] Aaron**
That's a technique so difficult to manage,
they've stopped studying it in the capital.
**[11:12] Aaron**
I'm impressed.
**[11:13] Fate**
It's nothing.
**[11:14] Greed**
*The credit all belongs to me.*
**[11:16] Aaron**
Let's keep moving!
**[11:18] Fate**
Right.
**[11:32] Fate**
From the second floor?
**[11:33] Aaron**
An invitation, most likely. Let's go.
**[11:42] Aaron**
Impossible!
**[11:43] Luke**
Father!
**[11:45] Aaron**
It can't be...
**[11:47] Diana**
Welcome home, dear.
**[11:50] Servants**
Welcome home, master.
**[11:54] Diana**
We've been waiting so long for you, dear.
**[11:57] Aaron**
Luke... Diana...
**[12:01] Aaron**
You're both...
**[12:05] Aaron**
You were both still alive.
**[12:07] Luke**
What do you mean, Father?
**[12:09] Diana**
You must be exhausted, dear.
**[12:11] Luke**
Did you carry out your mission
from the king, Father?
**[12:13] Aaron**
I did. The stampede has been dealt with.
**[12:16] Luke**
That's amazing!
**[12:18] Luke**
Could you tell us more about it?
**[12:20] Aaron**
I suppose I can...
**[12:22] Fate**
*What's going on here, Greed?*
**[12:25] Greed**
* They might look alive,*
* but they're definitely not.*
**[12:28] Greed**
*This is an illusion spell.*
**[12:30] Fate**
*All of this is an illusion?*
**[12:35] Diana**
Oh, you two, that's enough chat for now.
**[12:39] Diana**
You should get some rest, dear.
**[12:41] Luke**
Oh, Father, did you bring me a souvenir?
**[12:43] Aaron**
Of course I did.
**[12:45] Luke**
All right!
**[12:49] Fate**
Aaron!
**[12:52] Aaron**
You've grown so strong, Luke!
**[12:56] Luke**
Because I had to protect the castle
in your absence, Father.
**[13:00] Luke**
For so many long, long, unending years...!
**[13:04] Luke**
While you only care about work, work, work!
**[13:06] Luke**
You abandoned us to monsters
for your duty in the capital!
**[13:11] Luke**
How could you show up
after all this time to kill us?!
**[13:14] Diana**
We're still alive!
**[13:17] Fate**
Aaron, I can get rid of the illusions.
**[13:20] Fate**
Greed, I need the black scythe.
**[13:23] Greed**
* It can cut through the effects*
* caused by a skill, true.*
**[13:26] Greed**
* But when it does that,*
* it'll mean slaying them.*
**[13:30] Greed**
* Souls that are devoured*
* by Gluttony can never pass on.*
**[13:35] Greed**
* It's like being confined to an endless hell*
* with no hope of salvation!*
**[13:40] Fate**
*I can't do that to them...*
**[13:46] Aaron**
Fate!
**[13:48] Aaron**
Sorry, but would you
let me handle my family?
**[13:52] Fate**
In that case, I'll find the lich lord!
**[13:57] Aaron**
*Luke... you truly have become strong.*
**[14:00] Aaron**
* You must have followed my teachings,*
* never shirking your training.*
**[14:09] Fate**
This place is thick with its scent.
**[14:13] Fate**
There!
**[14:15] Fate**
No more hide and seek!
**[14:22] Fate**
There's the lich lord!
**[14:26] Fate**
All of its stats are above a million!

*Its power to control corpses is still intact.*
**[14:47] Zombie Servant**
Save us, please...
**[14:50] Zombie Servant**
Help... please...
**[14:53] Fate**
I can't attack them.
**[14:55] Greed**
*Fate, behind you!*
**[15:00] Aaron**
Sorry about the delay. I'm ready now.
**[15:03] Aaron**
I've cut the tendons in their limbs
to immobilize them.
**[15:07] Aaron**
Now, then...
**[15:11] Aaron**
Diana.
**[15:12] Diana**
Reconsider...
**[15:15] (Flashback) Diana**
Reconsider, dear.
**[15:18] (Flashback) Luke**
She's right, Father. Why is it always
you on these dangerous missions?
**[15:22] (Flashback) Aaron**
It's all right. You don't need to worry.
**[15:24] (Flashback) Aaron**
Once I've dealt with the monsters,
I'll be right back.
**[15:29] Aaron**
That's right. If I had...
**[15:32] Aaron**
If I had returned faster...
**[15:35] Aaron**
But now, I can end your suffering.
**[15:39] Aaron**
Grand Cross!
**[15:53] Aaron**
I've nearly got him...!
**[15:56] Fate**
What do we do?
**[16:00] Fate**
His son's sword...?
**[16:02] Fate**
Greed?
**[16:03] Greed**
*Just don't make a habit out of it.*
**[16:05] Fate**
Right!
**[16:08] Fate**
Aaron! I'll help!
**[16:09] Aaron**
That's...
**[16:11] Fate**
Let's end this!
**[16:14] Aaron**
I think we will.
**[16:18] Both**
Grand Cross!
**[16:49] Aaron**
I'm sorry I kept you waiting for so long.
**[17:01] Luke**
It's not your fault, Father.
**[17:03] Aaron**
Luke... I...
**[17:06] Diana**
Besides, you saved us in the end.
**[17:11] Aaron**
Diana.
**[17:15] Aaron**
If only I had made up my mind sooner...
**[17:18] Aaron**
No. I should've never left your side.
**[17:21] Aaron**
I knew that you both were more
important than any orders, and yet...
**[17:26] Aaron**
It must've been painful.
**[17:29] Aaron**
Forgive me.
**[17:31] Luke**
We're okay now.
**[17:33] Diana**
And for our sake, please,
do what you think is right.
**[17:37] Aaron**
Right. I promise.
**[17:40] Aaron**
I will live in a way
that honors your memory.
**[17:47] Aaron**
I know it's late, Luke,
but I have your souvenir.
**[17:55] Luke**
Thank you, Father.
**[17:59] Aaron**
Diana. Luke.
**[18:21] Voice**
*Gluttony skill has activated.*
**[18:25] Fate**
No one is interrupting this.
**[18:35] Fate**
It's important... that he gets
to say goodbye...
**[18:59] Aaron**
Go on ahead. Wait for me.
**[19:02] Aaron**
When I've finished what
I must do... I'll join you.
**[19:17] Fate**
You exceeded your level limit?!
**[19:18] Aaron**
Yes. Likely because of fighting
at your side, Fate.
**[19:23] Greed**
*Sounds possible.*
**[19:24] Greed**
* It'd need to be someone that you,*
* with your skill, accept, though...*
**[19:28] Fate**
*Seriously?*
**[19:29] Aaron**
Now then, I have a horde of monsters
that need dealing with.
**[19:37] Fate**
Skeletons!
**[19:38] Greed**
*There's still this many left?*
**[19:41] Fate**
Care for a race, then?
**[19:42] Aaron**
Interesting. Let's do it!
**[19:45] Fate**
Right!
**[19:50] Myne**
Late.
**[19:51] Fate**
Calm down, Myne!
**[19:52] Fate**
And put Sloth down!
**[19:54] Aaron**
Your fee, and a little extra as an apology.
**[19:58] Fate**
What a mercenary...
**[20:01] Myne**
Need money to rebuild village.
**[20:03] Fate**
For the village, huh?
**[20:05] Myne**
Money doesn't lie. You learn that
if you live long enough.
**[20:10] Fate**
Long enough...?
**[20:11] Aaron**
I'd been thinking I'd seen you somewhere
before... and now I remember.
**[20:17] Aaron**
Fifty years ago, monsters appeared in
this town, and I caught a glimpse of you.
**[20:22] Fate**
Fifty years ago?!
**[20:24] Aaron**
Yes, and you looked exactly the same...
**[20:27] Aaron**
Even then, you were the picture of a warrior.
**[20:31] Myne**
You've got a good eye.
**[20:33] Myne**
With a millennium of training,
Aaron, you might catch up to me.
**[20:36] Fate**
A millennium?!
**[20:37] Aaron**
A harsh appraisal!
**[20:39] Myne**
It's true, though. Humans have their limits.
**[20:42] Aaron**
What does that make you, then?
**[20:46] Myne**
I'm a phantom who's not allowed to die.
**[20:50] Fate**
A phantom...?
**[20:53] Myne**
And it's time you paid me back.
**[20:56] Fate**
Myne...
**[20:59] Aaron**
Your eyes are back to normal.
**[21:01] Fate**
I have a condition where I need
to slay monsters regularly.
**[21:06] Fate**
If I don't, my eyes turn red—
**[21:08] Aaron**
And a great burden
is inflicted on your soul, eh?
**[21:13] Aaron**
Fate, when you've done what you
need to do, come back here.
**[21:17] Aaron**
I have something important to tell you.
**[21:25] Memil**
The philosopher's stone, capable
of healing any illness or wound!
**[21:29] Memil**
I didn't think you'd really find it!
**[21:31] Memil**
Maybe immortality isn't out of
reach after all, Rafale!
**[21:35] Rafale**
Indeed.
**[21:39] Head Butler**
Begging your pardon, sir.
**[21:40] Rafale**
Did anything of note happen
while we were gone?
**[21:43] Rafale**
I haven't seen Hado around.
**[21:46] Head Butler**
I need to inform you...
**[21:48] Rafale**
Hado's dead?
**[21:49] Head Butler**
Yes. According to those who were there,
**[21:52] Head Butler**
Corpse is not a monster, but a warrior.
**[21:57] Rafale**
That Corpse...
**[22:02] Rafale**
Just who is he?
