[00:05] Fate
    A variety of warriors gather at Babylon.
[00:09] Fate
    Mercenaries, well-practiced at combat...
[00:11] Fate
    former holy knights, and people
    with grudges against the holy knights.
[00:16] Greed
    If you're strong enough, your faults
    will be forgiven here in Babylon.
[00:20] Fate
    In other words, they need all the
    help they can get to deal with the monsters.
[00:26] Fate
    Sounds like a perfect place for me.
[02:07] [SONG] Eptitle sign
    The Guardian Of Lust
[02:08] Northern
    I'm Northern Alistair.
[02:10] Northern
    It's an honor to serve the heir to one of
    the five great families, Lady Roxy.
[02:17] Roxy
    In my father's absence, you were
    responsible for Babylon's order, then?
[02:21] Roxy
    Thank you for your service.
[02:23] Northern
    No. I was unable to save Sir Mason,
    despite serving at his side...
[02:28] Northern
    For that, I am sorry.
[02:31] Roxy
    You were there when he passed?
[02:33] Northern
    Yes.
[02:36] Roxy
    Raise your head, Northern.
[02:39] Roxy
    I have come here in order to
    follow in my father's footsteps.
[02:43] Roxy
    Let us defend Galia from the incursion
    of monsters and defend the people.
[02:49] Northern
    Yes.
[02:57] Miria
    He's making eyes at Lady Roxy!
    Her chastity is in danger!
[03:00] Miria
    I better get in there and save her!
[03:03] Mugan
    Stay put, stupid.
[03:05] Mugan
    You mess with a holy knight,
    and it'll be your head.
[03:05] Miria
    But he's buzzing around her like a pest!
[03:10] Roxy
    Mugan, Miria. Let's take a look at the town.
[03:13] Both
    Right!
[03:15] Fate
    Ten gold coins for a room...
    a gold coin for breakfast...
[03:20] Fate
    No amount of money would be
    enough in this place.
[03:24] Greed
    Hold it, Fate. Look on your left.
[03:27] Greed
    That scabbard is calling to me!
[03:30] Fate
    It looks ridiculously expensive...
[03:32] Greed
    Don't be such a cheapskate!
[03:34] Greed
    You can always hunt monsters for more money.
[03:37] Jade
    Welcome! Looking for something—
[03:41] Jade
    Look at that!
[03:43] Fate
    What?!
[03:44] Jade
    These aren't regular burns, are they?
[03:47] Jade
    They were caused by Fireball...
    No, probably something even hotter.
[03:51] Fate
    You can tell?
[03:52] Jade
    Was I right? Well, now!
[03:55] Greed
    This guy's got a real eye for detail.
[03:57] Greed
    We can trust his work.
[03:59] Greed
    We're buying a scabbard from him, Fate.
[04:02] Greed
    Come on!
[04:03] Fate
    How much does this scabbard go for?
[04:06] Jade
    Oh, it's just a display model.
[04:09] Jade
    If you want a scabbard,
    I'll make one that suits your sword.
[04:14] Fate
    This is the sword.
[04:16] Greed
    Hey there.
[04:19] Jade
    I've never seen a one-handed sword like this!
[04:22] Jade
    It's incredible!
[04:24] Greed
    You hear that, Fate?!
[04:26] Greed
    Looks like quality recognizes quality.
[04:28] Greed
    And my glory is so obvious,
    you couldn't hide it if you tried!
[04:34] Jade
    If you're looking for a scabbard
    that'd match a sword like this...
[04:38] Jade
    I'd price that at around 500 gold coins.
[04:40] Fate
    F-Five hundred gold?!
[04:42] Fate
    N-Never mind!
[04:47] Greed
    Looks like we need to build a war chest.
[04:49] Fate
    Dammit, 500 gold coins?
    That's practically robbery.
[04:54] Fate
    Prices are high enough in Babylon.
[04:56] Fate
    We can't spend that much on luxuries!
[04:58] Fate
    First, we need to cover our daily expenses.
[05:01] Ruffian 1
    Hey there, warrior in the skull mask.
[05:04] Ruffian 1
    Care to join up with us?
[05:06] Ruffian 1
    You wanna build your rep on a monster hunt,
[05:09] Ruffian 1
    so you can go work as a volunteer
    soldier in the capital, right?
[05:12] Fate
    No thanks. I'm not looking
    to work with anyone.
[05:16] Ruffian 1
    That's... uh, my apologies.
[05:20] Ruffian 1
    I'd imagine that means...
    you're an ex-knight, then?
[05:24] Ruffian 1
    You just, uh, didn't look too
    put-together, so I assumed...
[05:28] Ruffian 1
    Pardon us!
[05:30] Ruffian 1
    Come on, let's move!
[05:31] Warriors
    Right!
[05:34] Fate
    Well, excuse me for looking shabby.
[05:37] Greed
    See? If you dressed decently, you wouldn't
    have goons like them messing with you.
[05:42] Fate
    I guess appearances are a part
    of your defense after all...
[05:45] Fate
    If we're putting a look together,
    let's make it a good one!
[05:48] Greed
    Oh, yeah!
[05:49] Greed
    In that case, let's hunt a bunch of beasts
    and earn a bunch of money!
[05:59] Greed
    Past the border is Galia.
[06:01] Fate
    It smells awful...
[06:03] Greed
    Yeah, there's monster carcasses all over.
[06:08] Fate
    What the—?
[06:09] Greed
    Spores.
[06:11] Fate
    From the moss?
[06:12] Greed
    Yep. Its spores are mildly toxic.
[06:16] Greed
    I wouldn't breathe too much
    of them if I were you.
[06:18] Fate
    Would it kill you to warn me earlier?
[06:21] Greed
    If you take too many deep breaths,
    moss will grow in your lungs.
[06:25] Greed
    Don't freak out. That's just how Galia is.
[06:28] Fate
    This is Galia...
[06:30] Greed
    And it looks like there's a minor
    stampede already on the way.
[06:37] Fate
    Where?
[06:41] Greed
    Orcs, a type of monster
    that are spread all over Galia.
[06:45] Greed
    They arm themselves with simple weapons.
[06:48] Greed
    Looks like around 50 of them.
[06:51] Greed
    They're smart, so they'll use
    a coordinated attack.
[06:54] Greed
    I'd approach this like
    you're fighting humans.
[06:56] Fate
    Got it.
[06:57] Fate
    This'll be a chance to show off
    the fighting skills Aaron taught me!
[07:05] Ruffian 1
    Go!
[07:08] Fate
    They took the initiative.
[07:09] Greed
    What're you doing, you idiot?!
[07:11] Fate
    Shut up!
[07:12] Greed
    Just get in there and steal the kills, Fate!
    So I can get that fancy scabbard!
[07:16] Fate
    Come on, that'd be bad etiquette!
[07:18] Greed
    There's no etiquette or rules
    to hunting monsters, man!
[07:21] Fate
    Are those... more orcs?
[07:23] Greed
    A lot, too. Looks to be
    about two companies' worth.
[07:26] Greed
    They're aiming for a pincer attack.
[07:28] Fate
    Then we won't be stealing these kills.
[07:30] Greed
    Yep. A great chance for you
    to play hero yet again, Fate.
[07:44] Fate
    You ready, Greed?
[07:45] Greed
    You bet!
[07:54] Greed
    So, how do you like my third level?
[07:56] Greed
    Completely blocks physical and magic attacks.
[07:59] Greed
    This magic shield is practically a fortress.
[08:02] Greed
    You're welcome to start
    with the praise, Fate.
[08:04] Fate
    Shut up! We're in the middle of a fight.
[08:06] Fate
    Pipe down.
[08:07] Fate
    Now what do I do...?
[08:09] Greed
    Just rush them, Fate.
[08:11] Greed
    I'll show you why this shield's so huge.
[08:14] Greed
    Go on, start running and don't stop!
[08:16] Fate
    Got it!
[08:29] Fate
    This is amazing...
[08:31] Voice
    Gluttony skill has activated.
[08:33] Greed
    This is Shield Bash.
[08:34] Greed
    It takes quite a bit of strength, which
    shouldn't be a problem for you right now.
[08:38] Greed
    Keep on going!
[08:39] Fate
    All right!
[08:43] Greed
    Anyone hungry for mashed pork?
[08:45] Fate
    That's just nasty! Show a little tact!
[08:45] Voice
    Gluttony skill has activated.
[08:49] Voice
    Gluttony skill has activated.

    What's up?
[09:00] Fate
    My Gluttony skill isn't acting up...
[09:02] Fate
    Even after beating so many orcs.
[09:05] Greed
    Has it been like that
    since you took down Haniel?
[09:08] Fate
    Yeah...
[09:09] Fate
    Could this control be
    what Aaron was training me for?
[09:16] Greed
    Let's clip these orc ears
    and get back to town.
[09:19] Fate
    Yeah, I know.
[09:28] Warrior 1
    Are you kidding me? Are those all orc ears?
[09:31] Warrior 2
    That would be enough
    for two whole companies...
[09:34] Warrior 3
    And he did it by himself?
[09:40] Fate
    I'd like to cash these in.
[09:41] Receptionist
    I-I'll confirm the number right away.
[09:44] Ruffian 2
    Hey, punk! You think you can swoop in
    and steal our loot like that?
[09:48] Ruffian 2
    Those belong to us!
[09:49] Greed
    You guys would've been turned
    to mush if it wasn't for Fate.
[09:54] Ruffian 2
    Hand them over!
[09:55] Fate
    Don't.
[09:56] Fate
    This is your last chance to back off.
[09:59] Ruffian 2
    I'd like to see you make me!
[10:01] Fate
    Would you?
[10:02] Greed
    Let him have it, Fate!
[10:07] Ruffian 1
    You rotten...!
[10:08] Warrior 4
    What're you, new? What's with the mask?
[10:11] Warrior 5
    That's pretty cocky for some rookie.
[10:12] Warrior 5
    Let's see your face!
[10:15] Ruffian
    Dammit! Get him!
[10:23] Greed
    Was that Ruinous Strike?
[10:25] Fate
    Yeah.
[10:34] Greed
    He's done.
[10:37] Receptionist
    One hundred gold coins.
[10:39] Receptionist
    Here you are, Mr. Corpse.
[10:40] Fate
    Thanks.
[10:42] Roxy
    Is it you?
[10:50] Roxy
    Are you the one responsible for this?
[10:56] Fate
    Lady Roxy...
[11:08] Roxy
    Very well. I understand the situation.
[11:11] Roxy
    You only struck because
    they attacked you first.
[11:14] Fate
    Yeah. It was self-defense.
[11:16] Roxy
    Considering they drew their weapons...
[11:19] Miria
    His story matches what
    the employees here have to say.
[11:21] Fate
    What happens to me now?
[11:23] Roxy
    While I feel you
    may have gone overboard...
[11:25] Roxy
    I'm partially responsible for
    the degradation of Babylon's order.
[11:30] Roxy
    Given that the holy knight responsible
    for keeping the peace was absent,
[11:34] Roxy
    even if only temporarily...
[11:36] Fate
    She means Sir Mason...
[11:38] Roxy
    There'll be no punishment, this time.
[11:40] Fate
    I appreciate that.
[11:42] Roxy
    I'm willing to overlook this
    for the rest of you, too.
[11:47] Roxy
    All I ask is that you spend
    the night in a cell.
[11:51] Roxy
    Considering you've been up to some trouble,
    use it as a chance to reflect.
[11:57] Fate
    Huh?
[11:58] Fate
    I used to always look up at Lady Roxy...
[12:03] Fate
    I guess I've grown?
[12:06] Roxy
    Excuse me, are you listening?
[12:09] Fate
    Yeah! Of course I am!
[12:11] Miria
    Liar! You definitely weren't!
[12:13] Roxy
    Miria...
[12:14] Miria
    It's the truth!
[12:15] Miria
    And that mask! You're speaking
    to Lady Roxy, so take it off!
[12:20] Fate
    Stop! This is...
[12:20] Mugan
    Miria...
[12:22] Mugan
    Masks are as much a part of
    a warrior's gear as anything else.
[12:23] Fate
    Hey! Cut it out!
[12:25] Mugan
    Don't be unreasonable.
[12:26] Roxy
    There's no need for that.
[12:29] Fate
    Thank you.
[12:31] Roxy
    Now then, might I ask your name?
[12:34] Fate
    Corpse.
[12:35] Roxy
    Your name... is Corpse?
[12:37] Miria
    No, it's not.
[12:38] Fate
    Shut up!
[12:39] Fate
    Dammit! Force of habit...
[12:41] Roxy
    Well, Mr. Corpse, please try
    not to cause any more trouble.
[12:46] Roxy
    And... I'd advise taking better
    care of your appearance.
[12:50] Roxy
    It's... a bit distracting.
[12:58] Fate
    Got it!
[13:00] Miria
    What is with him?
[13:01] Mugan
    He's so lanky, and seems weak at a glance...
[13:05] Mugan
    But if he clobbered all of them...
[13:07] Mugan
    What kind of warrior is he?
[13:09] Roxy
    A good question.
[13:14] Fate
    I think she hates me...
[13:16] Greed
    That's better than her
    figuring out who you are.
[13:18] Fate
    Obviously.
[13:19] Greed
    Well, as long as you're wearing
    that perception-warping mask,
[13:22] Greed
    no one will realize that you're Fate.
[13:26] Fate
    I know that, but still...
[13:28] Greed
    More importantly, even Roxy said
    you need to clean yourself up.
[13:33] Greed
    Let's buy that scabbard!
[13:34] Fate
    We'll need a lot more money
    before we do that.
[13:41] Jade
    I heard the news! You took out
    a gang of ruffians at the exchange?
[13:45] Fate
    Y-Yeah.
[13:46] Greed
    It's already become news?
[13:49] Jade
    I'd love it if you'd take
    my gear into battle!
[13:52] Jade
    Oh, I never introduced myself, did I?
[13:56] Jade
    I'm Jade Stratos.
[13:58] Jade
    I've had my own gear shop for three months.
[14:01] Fate
    Right...
[14:06] Fate
    So, since you haven't made
    a name for yourself yet,
[14:09] Fate
    you want me to use your
    wares as advertising?
[14:11] Jade
    Right.
[14:12] Jade
    I've been looking for a warrior
    who seems like the right one,
[14:16] Jade
    so that we could aim
    for great heights together.
[14:19] Fate
    I-I see...
[14:21] Jade
    Would you like to work with me?
[14:26] Fate
    With an offer like that,
    I've got no reason to refuse.
[14:29] Jade
    Then...?
[14:30] Fate
    I'm Corpse. Pleasure doing business with you.
[14:33] Jade
    Likewise! Thank you for agreeing!
[14:36] Greed
    Looks like you've got an exclusive contract.
[14:43] Jade
    Now I just affix this...
[14:46] Jade
    All done.
[14:54] Greed
    Maybe clothes really do make the man.
[14:55] Fate
    Shut up.
[14:57] Fate
    Uh, I mean, this is better than I had hoped!
[14:59] Jade
    That's a relief! Well, it'll be
    80 gold coins for the whole set.
[15:03] Greed
    Wait, he's charging?
[15:05] Greed
    I thought, since this was for advertising...
[15:07] Fate
    Uh, never mind.
[15:09] Jade
    Oh... in that case, how about half off?
[15:12] Fate
    Half...?
[15:16] Fate
    I'm spending money
    as fast as I can earn it...
[15:19] Greed
    You can always go on another hunt.
[15:22] Greed
    But first comes food.
[15:28] Fate
    This pub looks really busy.
[15:30] Greed
    Maybe that's a sign the menu's good.
[15:32] Fate
    As long as it's cheap,
    I don't really care how it tastes.
[15:54] Fate
    What the...?
[15:56] Fate
    I can't look away. What is this impulse...?
[16:00] Greed
    Looks like you can tell now.
[16:03] Fate
    You mean she's...?
[16:05] Greed
    You guessed it.
[16:09] Eris
    I've been waiting for you to show up, Fate.
[16:13] Fate
    But I'm wearing the mask! How?!
[16:15] Fate
    And she even knew my name!
[16:20] Eris
    Because we're two of a kind, after all.
[16:22] Fate
    Then she has a Skill of Deadly Sin!
[16:25] Eris
    I'm Eris. Eris of Lust.
[16:31] Eris
    Here. Take the mask off.
[16:34] Eris
    The perception alteration won't affect me.
[16:37] Eris
    Besides...
[16:39] Eris
    I want a better look at you.
[16:45] Fate
    Dammit!
[16:47] Eris
    Oh, sorry about that.
    It's a side-effect of the Lust skill.
[16:51] Eris
    It gives off an uncontrollable charm effect...
[16:54] Eris
    Anyone hit by it,
    regardless of age or gender,
[16:57] Eris
    can't help but love me.
[17:00] Eris
    First, a toast to our meeting.
[17:12] Fate
    Y-You said you were waiting for me...
    What did you mean?
[17:19] Eris
    I've been watching you for a long time.
[17:22] Eris
    All the way back to
    when you were in the capital.
[17:25] Fate
    For that long?
[17:27] Eris
    When your Gluttony skill awakened,
    I thought about making contact.
[17:32] Eris
    But I decided against it, thinking
    you'd encounter Greed sooner or later.
[17:38] Fate
    If you know about Greed,
    then do you know about Myne, too?
[17:42] Eris
    Sadly, we've not spoken much.
[17:46] Eris
    I'm second generation. I don't know
    anyone from the first generation too well.
[17:51] Fate
    First generation...?
[17:52] Eris
    Right. The Wrath girl and I
    don't get along well, anyway.
[17:57] Eris
    I mean, considering
    how much better endowed I am.
[18:01] Eris
    I think she doesn't like that.
[18:05] Greed
    Those are definitely big.
[18:06] Eris
    Oh, that's right...
[18:08] Eris
    Speaking of Myne,
    congratulations on slaying Haniel.
[18:12] Eris
    She was a tricky one, so I appreciate
    you saving me the trouble.
[18:16] Fate
    You really do seem to know everything...
[18:19] Eris
    I wouldn't go that far.
[18:21] Eris
    I don't know who moved the cocoon
    to where you found it, for one thing.
[18:26] Greed
    The chimera all come
    from Galia's capital city.
[18:29] Eris
    There's probably a few left, too.
[18:32] Eris
    Which will mean real trouble
    if they're able to mature...
[18:34] Eris
    And with how weak the holy
    knight class has become,
[18:37] Eris
    I have my doubts as to whether
    they'd be able to exterminate them.
[18:41] Fate
    Lady Roxy...
[18:43] Eris
    Now, then, it's time I get to the point.
[18:48] Fate
    What was everything else, then?
[18:50] Eris
    This is the real business.
    The reason I was waiting for you.
[18:55] Eris
    On top of wielding a Skill of Deadly Sin,
    I have another identity.
[19:00] Eris
    I am a guardian of the kingdom.
[19:02] Fate
    A guardian?
[19:05] Eris
    Right. I put the kingdom's affairs
    above any individual's.
[19:09] Eris
    To put it another way,
    I'm working towards a better future.
[19:13] Eris
    Even something that causes a great loss
    today... if, 500 years from now?
[19:17] Eris
    A millennium, even? It benefits
    the kingdom, then I approve.
[19:21] Fate
    What are you getting at?
[19:24] Eris
    Roxy Hart.
[19:28] Northern
    There appears to be a minor
    stampede occurring in eastern Galia.
[19:32] Roxy
    We'll move to deal with it at once.
[19:33] Northern
    Of course!
[19:34] Eris
    She's going to die in Galia.
[19:39] Fate
    What kind of crap is that?!
[19:45] Fate
    You want Lady Roxy dead?
[19:47] Eris
    Do you know how the phenomenon
    of aggression works?
[19:51] Fate
    Don't try and change the subject!
[19:53] Eris
    I brought it up because it's related.
[19:56] Eris
    When a monster is slain,
    its aggression lingers...
[20:01] Eris
    That aggression never really goes away,
[20:03] Eris
    and over many years,
    it builds up bit by bit...
[20:09] Eris
    until it gives rise to a crowned beast.
[20:18] Eris
    And this same phenomenon...
    can occur among humans.
[20:22] Fate
    What are you getting at?
[20:24] Fate
    Wait—
[20:25] Eris
    The oppression, discrimination,
    and destitution caused by the holy knights.
[20:29] Eris
    All of the aggression aimed at them,
    building up within the people...
[20:34] Eris
    Let's add to that the death of the only holy
    knight beloved by the masses, Roxy Hart.
[20:41] Eris
    The swell of aggression born
    from her untimely death
[20:45] Eris
    will swallow the rest that has
    been slowly building up,
[20:48] Eris
    fueling the birth of a human
    with an all-new type of power.
[20:53] Eris
    And among them will be the future pillar
    of the kingdom, with an incredible skill.
[21:02] Eris
    What do you think? Quite the plan, isn't it?
[21:05] Eris
    Her death will guide this
    kingdom in a better direction.
[21:09] Fate
    There's nothing good that could come
    from Lady Roxy's death!
[21:16] Fate
    None of the holy knights care
    about people the way she does!
[21:21] Fate
    Her death would not bring
    a single good thing to anyone!
[21:33] Eris
    The plan is already in motion.
[21:37] Eris
    There's no stopping it.
[21:42] Fate
    I don't care what the scheme is,
    or who's planning it...
[21:46] Fate
    And I don't care who I have to fight.
[21:48] Roxy
    Onward!
[22:00] Fate
    I will protect Lady Roxy!
