**[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.

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!*
**[23:35] [SONG] Next Eptitle sign**
Trap.
**[23:36] Greed**
*"Trap."*
