[00:05] I     If you say enemies can     become friends overnight, [00:07] I     maybe you should throw yourself     on the ground and apologize, eh? [00:10] I     Can you manage that, you smug noble? [00:19] F     This is all I can do now. [00:22] F     I swear I shall make amends. [00:24] G     Why are priests and nobles     so over the top? [00:29] G     Do what you want. [00:30] F     Th-Then... [00:32] I     Well, that was quick. [00:34] G     I don't need you to make     amends or apologies. [00:36] G     I killed your guys, too.     It goes both ways. [00:40] G     But no thanks to being your guide. [00:42] G     Not my thing. [00:45] G     I don't know what you want to     learn, but do what you like. [00:48] G     Stay out of my way,     and I won't interfere. [00:51] F     We are grateful. [00:53] G     No need for that yet. [00:55] G     Coming with us means you won't     be able to sleep at night. [01:02] P     They're coming, Isidoro! [01:03] I     I know! [01:04] Ser     Lady Farnese, please keep     the fire going! [01:08] F     I... I am ready! [01:10] F     No, Casca! [01:12] F     You cannot wander around! [01:15] G     Here they come! [01:19] I     Come at me, you ghouls! SIGN    Forest of Demonic Beasts [03:05] I     Take that... [03:06] P     Oh, tasty! [03:07] Ser     I tried adding marrow from the     fox we caught yesterday. [03:08] I     Why? [03:10] P     Pico, you do good work! [03:13] G     Think of your size. Why hold     your sword over your head? [03:16] G     If you want to become a     sellsword, use your brains. [03:19] Ser     Would you like more salt? [03:19] I     What if I get brain damage before     I get the chance to think? [03:22] P     We did have a workout earlier... [03:23] P     Dropey, it's almost dinnertime. [03:26] P     Get Farnese and Casca will you? [03:28] I     You guys are getting good at     this domestic life thing. [03:33] Ser     Lady Farnese, these are... [03:35] F     Mushrooms. [03:36] F     I found them earlier. [03:38] Ser     They're poisonous. [03:39] Ser     We can't eat them. [03:41] F     R-Really? [03:43] I     Hey! My holiday best! [03:45] Ser     You can stop. I'll take it from here. [03:50] G     What're you doing? [03:51] G     Never mind. Focus on protecting     Casca and the fire! [03:59] F     I am so useless. [04:03] F     It's laughable, really. [04:06] F     I have been quite cruel to you. [04:10] F     I apologize. [04:18] F     I never realized my insignificance. [04:26] F     Casca, please wait a moment. [04:31] F     This will add to our provisions,     at least a bit. [04:34] F     Huh? [04:34] F     Damn you. [04:37] F     I failed... [04:42] F     Let us return, Casca. [04:47] F     Casca? [04:49] F     Casca! [04:53] F     It's... It's my fault! [05:00] F     Casca! [05:04] F     What should I do? [05:06] F     I don't even know the way back. [05:20] F     Cas— [05:22] F     Someone! [05:25] F     Serpico... [05:30] P     Oh, there she is. [05:32] P     Over here! [05:37] Ser     Lady Farnese, you're unharmed. [05:39] I     Man, not a care in the world, huh? [05:41] I     And we were all scrambling     to protect Casca... [05:45] F     Casca! [05:47] F     Is Casca all right? [05:49] I     She's more than all right. [05:52] I     Her stomach led her     back before dinner. [05:57] I     Good, we can finally get some sleep. [06:02] I     Don't cause so much trouble, okay? [06:04] I     Why is the babysitter getting lost? [06:12] F     Serpico? [06:13] Ser     Yes, my lady? [06:15] F     I have caused you trouble. [06:19] F     What's wrong? [06:20] Ser     Nothing, my lady. [06:23] Ser     Are you returning to the Holy See? [06:29] F     Who... [06:31] F     Who would go back? [06:37] Elder     If you're heading to the Port     of Vritannis, be careful. [06:43] Elder     It's become a garrison     for the allied forces. [06:48] Elder     I hear the Kushans are about to     start a major battle there. [06:53] Elder     Even if the allied forces     repel the Kushans, [06:56] Elder     they'll carve up the kingdom     amongst themselves. [07:01] Elder     Midland may even cease to exist... [07:05] Elder     Well, not that any of that     matters to us shepherds. [07:10] Elder     Are you a Midlander? [07:13] Elder     Things must be difficult for you. [07:15] G     No, we were only living     there for a while. [07:21] Elder     Oh, I just remembered! [07:25] Elder     Beware if you're taking that path, [07:28] Elder     especially around the pass. [07:31] I     What the hell, Gramps? [07:32] I     Are you saying bandits are about? [07:34] Elder     That wouldn't be so bad, [07:37] Elder     but what's out and about     aren't human folk. [07:39] Elder     They're trolls! [07:42] I     Trolls? [07:47] I     Shit... [07:48] I     How can I land one hit on Guts? [07:53] P     Wouldn't you have better     luck throwing stones? [07:55] I     Unless I use the sword, it's pointless. [07:57] P     Your skills with rocks aren't bad, though. [08:02] I     Well, sure. [08:05] I     Got meat. [08:08] P     A double throw, huh? Clever. [08:28] I     Ow! [08:31] I     Shit! That didn't work, either! [08:34] G     Not bad. [08:35] G     You were doing well that time. [08:38] G     But if you always attack from below,     the opponent will anticipate you. [08:41] G     You need to figure out how     to be less predictable. [08:45] G     About your last attack, [08:46] G     you should aim for gaps in the armor. [08:49] G     You're not strong enough to pierce it. [08:52] I     I see... [08:56] I     Hey, is this good enough? [08:58] G     What? [08:59] I     Isn't training usually [09:01] ---     practicing basics for a long time and     inheriting techniques and stuff? [09:05] G     You're practicing basics every day. [09:07] I     But... [09:08] G     Do you plan to only go into battle [09:11] G     after training for dozens of years and     becoming a master swordsman? [09:14] G     That's a pretty long game. [09:16] I     N-No, I don't! [09:17] G     Then you need to manage     with what you have now. [09:21] G     Isn't that what you've been     doing all this time? [09:25] Ser     You are kind to him. [09:28] Ser     If it isn't too much trouble, could you     help me gather firewood? [09:46] Ser     Well, these are a little damp... [09:50] G     Let's just get down to it. [09:52] Ser     What do you mean? [09:53] G     Drop the act. [09:55] G     You wanted privacy, so we     could finish the duel. [09:58] Ser     What are you talking about? [10:00] Ser     I wanted to get to know     you better. That's all. [10:03] Ser     Have a heart-to-heart. [10:05] G     Huh? [10:05] G     You aren't making any sense! [10:07] G     If you don't want to fight, I'm off. [10:11] Ser     To be completely honest,     I'd like you to die. [10:16] G     You finally have the same     look as when we fought. [10:19] Ser     But this is what Lady Farnese wants. [10:24] Ser     The look on her face, like a child     who's just sobbed her heart out. [10:27] Ser     I've never seen her so vulnerable. [10:31] Ser     You've changed her. [10:34] Ser     Well, as long as Lady Farnese chooses     to continue her journey, [10:37] Ser     I intend, as her aide, to maintain     good relations with you. [10:42] G     You worry too much. [10:46] I     What the hell? [10:47] I     What's going on? [10:49] I     Hey! Bandits? [10:54] I     All right! [10:55] I     Are you okay? [10:57] P     He isn't human! [10:59] I     What? [11:04] I     What the... [11:05] Elder     But what's out and about     aren't human folk. [11:08] I     So this is what he meant! [11:14] I     I'll handle this. [11:17] Iva     Oh, my. [11:18] Iva     He's going to die. [11:20] Iva     What are you going to do? [11:34] I     I'm not scared of you... [11:36] I     You rotten monkey! [11:37] I     I'll get ya! [11:49] P     Isidoro! [11:51] I     I... I'm gonna die! [11:58] I     Berries? [12:00] Schierke     Don't move. [12:02] Schierke     Look all around you. [12:06] I     Wh-When'd they show up? [12:09] Schierke     The rest of you, come here. [12:17] Schierke     Listen to me. [12:18] Schierke     No matter what happens,     do not leave or break this circle. [12:22] I     Wh-What's this? [12:23] P     It's magic! [12:24] P     This is a magical ritual! [12:26] F     Magic? [12:27] F     Then, is she... [12:29] Iva     That's right. She's a witch, see? A witch. [12:33] P     A fae like me... [12:34] P     It's been too long! [12:35] Iva     Hey, who do you think you are? [12:36] Iva     Yodo hegh vau hegh. [12:38] Iva     Adonai tsabaut. [12:40] Iva     Eghehyeh... [12:41] Iva     Argrah. [12:44] I     They're everywhere! [12:48] I     Wh-What the... [13:03] I     Wow. [13:05] I     What's going on? [13:08] Schierke     I say this with the best of intentions, [13:10] Schierke     but you should leave     as soon as possible. [13:13] I     N-No need for you to worry. [13:16] I     We're used to monsters like them. [13:18] Sch     Excuse me, but with your sword skill, [13:21] Sch     you won't survive another encounter. [13:23] I     What?! [13:23] I     H-Hang on a second, hag! [13:30] I     Wh-What the... [13:32] I     These don't belong to no hag. [13:34] I     I mean, there's hardly anything! [13:39] I     You're just a kid? [13:44] G     Hey, what's wrong? [13:45] Ser     Lady Farnese! [13:46] G     What happened here? [13:48] F     Well... [13:53] Sch     What's with those two? [13:56] Sch     It's as if they attract distortions. [14:01] I     Damn it all... [14:03] I     That witch girl! [14:06] G     You did well. [14:08] G     You have my thanks. [14:09] I     Coming from you, it just     makes me all itchy. [14:13] P     Well, ultimately, the little witch     saved us, including the monkey. [14:20] G     I don't want anything like     that to happen again. [14:26] Ser     She's grown quite fond     of you, Lady Farnese. [14:29] F     Y-You think so? [14:34] I     Hey! Stop! [14:36] I     Stop it! [14:37] I     Stop! [14:38] I     Stop, I said! [14:39] ---     Stop! Hey, stop! [14:45] I     Huh? What? [14:48] P     Okay... There you go. [14:51] Ser     What happened? [14:53] Morgan     We were attacked by trolls. [14:56] Morgan     There were five others with me,     but everyone else was... [14:59] Morgan     But I can't just return to our village. [15:03] Morgan     There's a place I need to go. [15:07] Morgan     I am Morgan, of Enoch Village. [15:10] Morgan     Travelers such as you     may not know this, [15:14] Morgan     but tales of fae and witches have     always been told in these parts. [15:19] Morgan     Even still, not many of us     believed those tales. [15:25] Morgan     At least, not until that fateful night. [15:28] I     What fateful night? [15:30] Morgan     A band of trolls attacked the village. [15:34] Morgan     They came, like something     out of the pages of a tale, [15:38] Morgan     appearing from the darkness. [15:41] Morgan     Ever since that day, our world     was changed forever! [15:46] Morgan     It's as if our lives were a lie. [15:50] Ser     So do you bear a message to your lord? [15:53] Morgan     Our lord has gone to     Vritannis for battle. [15:56] Morgan     The fortress is empty. [15:59] Morgan     Even if I took him the news, [16:01] Morgan     I doubt he'd send men because     he'd think trolls don't exist! [16:06] I     What's your plan, then? [16:08] Morgan     We counter the legend     with another legend. [16:11] Morgan     A witch... That's who we're     thinking of asking for help. [16:16] I     A witch? [16:18] Morgan     They say a witch's house stands     deep in this forest. [16:23] Morgan     It's said that only those     invited by the mistress [16:27] ---     of the house are allowed to reach it. [16:30] I     Does that mean this forest     is under a witch's spell? [16:34] I     Wouldn't that mean looking     for her is pointless? [16:38] Morgan     From time to time, [16:40] ---     children in the village claim     to have seen the house. [16:46] Schierke     Someone has breached the barrier. [16:50] Schierke     Elementals... [16:54] P     What is this? [16:55] I     W-Wow... [17:13] Morgan     I knew it wasn't a dream! [17:16] Morgan     No one believed me. [17:19] Morgan     And after so many years, even I     thought I had dreamed it. [17:27] I     That witch girl must be here, too! [17:30] G     What is this strange sensation? [17:34] G     Isidoro! [17:34] G     Get away from there! [17:36] I     Huh? [17:38] I     What? [17:39] I     What's with the dumb-looking statue? [17:43] I     What a laugh! Er, uh... [18:00] Morgan     Wait... Let me speak to it. [18:02] Ser     Morgan! [18:04] G     That thing won't listen to you! [18:06] G     Stay back, Gramps. [18:15] I     Shit! It regrew its arm! [18:17] G     A ghoul? [18:19] G     Could it serve the apostles? [18:28] Ser     This is... [18:32] I     Creepy fucks! [18:37] I     Wh-What's up with them?! [18:46] G     There's no end to them. [18:52] Iva     Hey, look! Look at that man's sword! [18:56] F     No! [19:04] Ser     That's... [19:07] Ser     Everyone, [19:08] Ser     the golems have a small doll embedded     near the symbols on their chests. [19:11] Ser     Once you remove the dolls,     they cannot regenerate! [19:15] Iva     Oops, they figured it out. [19:17] G     I see. [19:18] G     Now that we know... [19:21] I     Isidoropkick! [19:24] ---     Yes! [19:26] Iva     What now, Schierke? [19:27] Iva     They'll destroy every single one! [19:29] Schierke     I have no choice. [19:31] Flora     Enough. [19:36] F     Wh-What happened? [19:38] I     They suddenly stopped moving. [19:48] I     I knew it was her! [19:50] F     The witch! [19:52] Schierke     Everyone, this way, please. [19:54] Schierke     My mistress will see you. [19:56] I     Oh, yeah? Great! [19:59] I     I'll fight her! [20:01] Ser     What will we do? [20:02] G     We did get an invitation. [20:03] G     Let's go meet this witch. [20:07] I     Wow, this is fun! [20:11] I     It's more like a nest than a house. [20:14] I     I feel like I've turned into a squirrel. [20:15] Sch     You, there. [20:16] Sch     Don't touch anything on the     desk without permission. [20:19] Iva     What a kid! [20:21] I     Wait, so you aren't the     witch people talk about? [20:23] Sch     I am Schierke, and I am     still an apprentice. [20:27] Iva     I am Ivalera, her guardian. [20:30] I     Oh, so you're just a trainee. [20:33] I     I'm Isidoro. [20:34] I     You did quite a number on me! [20:36] I     Thanks to you, I was living in my     ancestors' shoes for a half day. [20:39] Sch     That was because you grabbed     me in a strange manner! [20:42] I     Strange? [20:43] I     Just tell me what you mean. [20:45] I     I'm only a monkey, so... [20:46] Sch     Like I said, a strange manner! [20:48] Iva     Her boobs. [20:51] Sch     L-Like I said... [20:52] Iva     Boobs! [20:54] G     Quit it. It's getting on my nerves. [20:56] G     Anyway, can you take     us to her already? [21:00] G     The one you call your mistress? [21:01] Sch     This way, please. [21:04] Sch     I brought them, mistress. [21:10] Flora     Welcome to the mansion     of the spirit tree. [21:13] Flora     Please forgive the discourtesy     of my apprentice. [21:16] Flora     She was only concerned for my safety. [21:19] I     So she's the witch? [21:21] I     I totally thought she'd have [21:23] ---     a pointy noise and be all shriveled,     like some monster... [21:26] Sch     H-How dare you? [21:28] Flora     Why, thank you. [21:29] Flora     I'll take that as a compliment. [21:34] Morgan     Fifty years ago,     the medicine you gave me [21:38] Morgan     saved my mother from certain death. [21:41] Morgan     I can't believe my eyes...     You look exactly the same. [21:46] Flora     I remember you. [21:47] Flora     You were the boy from back then. [21:49] Flora     It has been a while. [21:53] Flora     You've never taken the life     of any of my brethren. [21:57] Flora     But if you had, it would have been     a sin shared by all who serve God. [22:03] Flora     I would not seek retribution     from you alone. [22:07] F     How did she know? [22:09] Flora     As for you two who bear the brand... [22:12] G     How did you know that? [22:14] Flora     I am glad I could meet you. [22:16] Flora     I have been waiting for you.
