[00:03] Kelvin
    Right now, we're in southwest
    Gaun, in the Crest Forest.
[00:08] Kelvin
    We've rushed here as fast as we could to
    get to an elf village located in this forest.
[00:13] Efil
    It's strange...
[00:15] Efil
    like I've been here before.
[00:18] Kelvin
    You're a half-elf, after all.
[00:21] Kelvin
    It might be your elf blood
    making you think that.
[00:23] Sera
    You think so?
[00:25] Sera
    That's strange, though.
[00:27] Sera
    I was taught that elves only
    lived on the Western Continent,
[00:30] Sera
    and that you couldn't find them here,
    on the Eastern Continent.
[00:33] Melfina
    Over a decade ago, some elves moved
    from the Western Continent to here.
[00:40] Melfina
    Now they seem to be under Gaun's protection.
[00:44] Kelvin
    As for why we're heading
    to an elven village...
[00:49] (Flashback) Leo
    Those assassins from Trycen...
[00:52] (Flashback) Leo
    Until now, Trycen's been insisting they
    had nothing to do with the Black Wind,
[00:57] (Flashback) Leo
    and are trying their best
    to keep things quiet.
[00:59] (Flashback) Leo
    And now they're attacking you, huh?
[01:04] (Flashback) Leo
    Actually, every country on the
    continent has been seeing activity
[01:09] (Flashback) Leo
    on their borders with Trycen.
[01:12] (Flashback) Kelvin
    Which means?
[01:14] (Flashback) Leo
    There've been small-scale skirmishes between
    Trycen and its neighboring country of Gaun.
[01:20] (Flashback) Leo
    But nothing major.
[01:23] (Flashback) Leo
    They've been especially reluctant
    to try anything with Parth,
[01:26] (Flashback) Leo
    a symbol of peace on the continent,
    or Toraj, an important agricultural center.
[01:30] (Flashback) Leo
    And now...
[01:32] (Flashback) Kelvin
    Force recon. Acquiring slaves.
[01:36] (Flashback) Leo
    Something may have changed in the
    political situation in Trycen.
[01:40] (Flashback) Leo
    There's a chance they'll attempt
    an invasion somewhere.
[01:46] (Flashback) Kelvin
    War, you mean?
[01:48] (Flashback) Leo
    That's simply my personal
    opinion, of course.
[01:52] (Flashback) Leo
    But be careful.
[01:55] (Flashback) Leo
    If what your attackers said is true,
    odds are Trycen will come for you again.
[02:01] (Flashback) Leo
    Oh, that's right.
[02:03] (Flashback) Leo
    I had a job for you.
[02:07] (Flashback) Kelvin
    A special job directly from the Guildmaster?
[02:10] (Flashback) Kelvin
    Or...
[02:15] (Flashback) Leo
    It's from Leonhart Gaun,
    the Beast King of Gaun.
[02:21] (Flashback) Leo
    He'll be meeting you personally.
[02:27] (Flashback) Leo
    Good luck with your Rank S promotion exam.
[02:32] Gerard
    A Rank S promotion exam, offered by a King!
[02:38] Rion
    You're amazing, Brother Kel!
[02:40] Sera
    One of the conditions for becoming a Rank S adventurer is the approval of a ruler, right?
[02:45] Kelvin
    Yeah. I need at least two, actually.
[02:48] Kelvin
    Leo spoke to Queen Tsubaki
    from Toraj, and she agreed.
[02:52] Kelvin
    And it sounds like King Leonhart
    heard all the bragging she did.
[02:58] Efil
    What's King Leonhart like?
[03:02] Melfina
    As is customary in his nation,
[03:04] Melfina
    he left on a journey in his
    teens to learn to fight.
[03:06] Melfina
    He ended up a Rank S adventurer.
[03:09] Kelvin
    He sounds strong, right?
[03:12] Gerard
    My King, you're not getting
    any ideas, are you?
[03:16] Kelvin
    No... I'm definitely not thinking about
    how much fun it would be to fight him,
[03:20] Kelvin
    or to kick his ass!
[03:24] Rion
    But if he's that strong, he could just
    do whatever this job is himself.
[03:29] Sera
    Protect an elven village from an unknown
    Rank S monster that came out of nowhere, huh?
[03:36] Kelvin
    From what we've seen so far, there's a
    99% chance Trycen's somehow involved.
[03:42] Kelvin
    Well, no need to hold back!
[03:44] Kelvin
    We're going to give it our all!
[03:46] Sera
    Yeah!
[03:47] Gerard
    Understood.
[03:48] Melfina
    That's just like you, My Lord!
[03:50] Efil
    But you can't let your guard down...
[03:54] Sera
    Yup. We might get attacked out of nowhere!
[04:01] Kelvin
    Those are...
[04:03] Kelvin
    elves!
[04:06] Kelvin
    I have come at the order
    of King Leonhart of Gaun!
[04:11] Kelvin
    I am Kelvin, the adventurer!
[04:13] Kelvin
    Please, listen to me!
[04:15] Male Elf 1
    King Leonhart?
[04:16] Male Elf 2
    Really?
[04:18] Male Elf 3
    That letter looks real...
[04:25] Nelras
    Kelvin the Adventurer...
[04:27] Nelras
    I apologize for our ignorance.
[04:31] Nelras
    I am Nelras, the elder of the elf village.
[04:36] Rion
    He's the elder?
[04:38] Gerard
    He looks so young.
[04:40] Sera
    Well, he is an elf.
[04:42] Nelras
    King Leonhart has told me all about you.
[04:45] Nelras
    Thank you for coming all this way...
[04:50] Nelras
    Lumil? How are you alive...?
[04:57] Kelvin
    Lumil?
SIGN    Black Summoner
SIGN    Black Summoner
SIGN    Black Summoner
[06:41] Nelras
    I'm so sorry about what
    happened back there, Kelvin.
[06:46] Kelvin
    Before we discuss King Leonhart's request,
    can we talk about something else?
[06:51] Nelras
    You mean how I mistook Efil
    there for Lumil, yes?
[06:56] Kelvin
    Yes.
[06:57] Kelvin
    She's a member of our party now,
[07:00] Kelvin
    but before that, she was afflicted
    with the Fire Dragon King's curse,
[07:03] Kelvin
    and had been a slave for as
    long as she could remember.
[07:06] Nelras
    How awful...
[07:08] Kelvin
    Please, tell us about Lumil.
[07:11] Kelvin
    She may be a clue to where Efil came from.
[07:19] Nelras
    Very well.
[07:21] Nelras
    It was 20 years ago, or so...
[07:24] Nelras
    We lived in peace, deep in a
    forest on the Western Continent.
[07:31] Nelras
    And then one day, we were attacked
    by the Fire Dragon King,
[07:35] Nelras
    one of the kings of the great dragons.
[07:37] Nelras
    He demanded we offer up the
    elf who had humiliated him,
[07:43] Nelras
    or he would burn our village to ash.
[07:47] Nelras
    I still don't know what had angered him so,
[07:51] Nelras
    since we'd had barely any
    contact with him prior.
[07:56] Nelras
    But his wrath was terrible,
[07:59] Nelras
    and over half the village died
    without even knowing the reason.
[08:04] Nelras
    My leg was injured then, too.
[08:07] Nelras
    But one of our number rose up.
[08:12] Nelras
    That was Lumil.
[08:16] Efil
    Lumil...
[08:19] Nelras
    She stood before the
    Fire Dragon King and said,
[08:24] Nelras
    "Please, turn your wrath towards me,
[08:27] Nelras
    and spare the others."
[08:32] Nelras
    And the Fire Dragon King said,
[08:34] Nelras
    "You are not the elf I seek.
[08:37] Nelras
    But if you will be my bride, I shall
    forget the insult I suffered."
[08:45] Nelras
    Lumil agreed, and...
[08:50] Nelras
    The Fire Dragon King took her away.
[08:55] Rion
    She's so courageous!
[08:58] Nelras
    Yes. She was strong, and kind.
[09:02] Gerard
    But if the Fire Dragon King left,
    then the threat was gone.
[09:07] Gerard
    And yet you fled the Western Continent...
[09:11] Nelras
    Correct.
[09:13] Nelras
    You see, years later, Lumil's body
    was found in the forest.
[09:22] Nelras
    We don't know what happened.
[09:24] Nelras
    But with Lumil dead, we feared
    the Fire Dragon King's return,
[09:30] Nelras
    and fled the Western
    Continent for this land.
[09:37] Sera
    If you look so similar that
    Nelras mistook you for her,
[09:40] Sera
    does that mean Lumil is your mother?
[09:43] Gerard
    Then perhaps Efil is Lumil and
    the Fire Dragon King's...
[09:47] Melfina
    No, that's impossible.
[09:49] Melfina
    Half-elves are always born
    of a human and an elf.
[09:53] Melfina
    A dragon's blood would be too strong.
[09:56] Kelvin
    But it's still possible
    that Lumil's her mother.
[10:01] Nelras
    I'm sorry, Efil.
[10:04] Nelras
    I don't know anything else...
[10:06] Efil
    No, thank you, Nelras.
[10:10] Efil
    I have no memories of my mother or father.
[10:14] Efil
    They've been gone for as
    long as I can remember.
[10:16] Efil
    But no matter what happened
    in my past, I'm fine.
[10:21] Efil
    I've got my comrades, and my master.
[10:25] Efil
    I'm with a family that I love!
[10:28] Nelras
    It seems you've met comrades
    you can trust, then.
[10:32] Efil
    Yes!
[10:33] Sera
    Efil!
[10:35] Efil
    S-Sera?
[10:36] Rion
    I'm here for you too, okay, Sister Efil?
[10:39] Rion
    We'll never leave you!
[10:39] Nelras
    You have very lively friends.
[10:41] Melfina
    I'm here for you, too!
[10:43] Kelvin
    Yeah.
[10:43] Efil
    Thank you!
[10:45] Kelvin
    Now, let's get to the main subject.
[10:48] Nelras
    Yes.
[10:49] Kelvin
    King Leonhart had said that a new type
    of monster, along with its servants,
[10:54] Kelvin
    has been kidnapping elves.
[10:57] Nelras
    Yes.
[10:58] Nelras
    We have a powerful barrier in the forest
    that disrupts one's sense of direction.
[11:04] Nelras
    But the monsters seemed to know
    exactly where the village was.
[11:09] Kelvin
    There are skills that can
    nullify barriers, after all.
[11:13] Kelvin
    We made it past the thing, for instance.
[11:15] Nelras
    It's come two or three times.
[11:18] Nelras
    It looked less like an all-out attack,
    and more like an attempt to kidnap us elves.
[11:25] Kelvin
    Monsters don't usually have
    that level of organization.
[11:29] Nelras
    Of course, we fought back.
[11:31] Nelras
    But we weren't strong enough...
[11:34] Nelras
    And the soldiers from Gaun failed, too...
[11:38] Gerard
    Elder, don't worry!
[11:40] Gerard
    We're here to stop that!
[11:43] Sera
    Yes, we'll protect you!
[11:46] Rion
    I'll do my best, too!
[11:47] Efil
    Yes, I'll help in any way I can.
[11:51] Melfina
    Of course.
[11:53] Nelras
    Thank you so much, everyone...
[11:56] Kelvin
    Actually, Elder, I'd like permission
    to renovate this village a little.
[12:01] Nelras
    "Renovate" it?
[12:03] Kelvin
    Yes. If you'll give me permission,
[12:06] Kelvin
    I can promise the monsters won't
    be able to lay a finger on you.
[12:12] Nelras
    Very well. I'll let you do
    what you feel you must.
[12:16] Kelvin
    Thank you!
[12:17] Sera
    It's gotta be more than a simple trap.
[12:21] Gerard
    I feel some sympathy for our foes.
[12:25] Kelvin
    Time to get busy...

[12:44] Soldier A
    Don't stop. Keep going.
[12:48] Soldier B
    Commander, it looks like the Gaun
    cowards are nowhere to be found.
[12:53] Soldier C
    They probably got scared of
    the Mixed Demon Beast Army.
[12:58] Commander
    We're making an awful lot of noise.
[13:01] Commander
    I'm sure they noticed, but...
[13:04] Commander
    They're cowards! Watch out for ambushes!
[13:10] Commander
    We give Gaun plenty of information, and then
    take out whoever they send to stop us.
[13:16] Commander
    General Tristan's plan is ready
    for its most important stage!
[13:21] Soldier C
    Where do you suppose General Tristan
    got that collar, though?
[13:26] Soldier C
    It's a special type that works
    even on S Ranks, they say!
[13:30] Commander
    The rumors say he got it from a merchant
    that's been visiting the castle lately.
[13:36] Soldier D
    With this kind of firepower, even the
    Beast King and his men themselves couldn't...
[13:41] Commander
    What happened?
[13:42] Soldier C
    I don't know! He just... collapsed!
[13:47] Commander
    What's going on?
[13:49] Soldier E
    He was hit by something
    that looked like an arrow!
[13:51] Commander
    That's impossible!
    I didn't hear anything at all!
[13:55] Commander
    And the elf village is a long ways away!
[13:58] Soldier B
    But he just got hit by something—
[14:01] Soldier E
    Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
[14:06] Commander
    Protect yourselves with the monster!
[14:09] Commander
    They're using some kind of invisible attack!
[14:12] Commander
    Impossible!
[14:14] Commander
    What's going on here?!
[14:17] Kelvin
    Next, hit the one hiding behind the troll.
[14:21] Kelvin
    Yeah, leave the one that looks
    like he's higher-ranked till later.
[14:25] Kelvin
    We'll catch him and interrogate him.
[14:27] Efil
    Got it!
[14:32] Kelvin
    Okay, hit.
[14:33] Kelvin
    Looks like the bow's working well.
[14:35] Efil
    Yes. This Shadow Bow Merciless you made for me

[14:40] Efil
    can reach anywhere as
    long as I put magic into it.
[14:44] Efil
    It makes no noise, either!
[14:46] Kelvin
    I built this watchtower
    with Adamantine Rampart.
[14:51] Kelvin
    And Mel's blue magic spell False Fog makes it
    invisible outside the walls of the elf village.
[14:59] Kelvin
    I've also made those walls
    massively stronger.
[15:03] Kelvin
    And the water in the moats is now
    enhanced by Sera's black magic.
[15:08] Kelvin
    Even if the enemy gets close,
    they won't make it inside.
[15:14] Gerard
    I'm remaining on defense this time, right?
[15:18] Gerard
    Have fun, everyone.
[15:20] Sera
    Roger!
[15:21] Sera
    You won't have anything
    to do, so go take a nap.
[15:24] Melfina
    Sera, don't go too hard, okay?
[15:27] Rion
    Yup! Sister Mel is right!
[15:30] Rion
    We're capturing the
    important-looking person, right?
[15:32] Kelvin
    If we can.
[15:34] Kelvin
    Our main goal is to protect the village.
[15:37] Kelvin
    Don't do anything that would cause too
    much damage to the forest, either.
[15:41] Kelvin
    Okay, let's get started!
[15:49] Soldier F
    Vice-Commander!
[15:51] Soldier F
    Huge trouble!
[15:53] Vice-Commander
    Calm down! What's happened?
[15:56] Soldier F
    We almost made it to the elf village when
    we were attacked by an unknown enemy!
[16:00] Soldier F
    Unit 4 was wiped out and the
    Battalion Commander taken!
[16:05] Soldier F
    They aren't Gaun soldiers!
[16:07] Vice-Commander
    What? If they're not Gaun, then where
    are they from? Toraj? Deramis?
[16:13] Soldier F
    They're not soldiers.
    They appear to be an adventuring party.
[16:16] Vice-Commander
    What?!
[16:18] Soldier F
    We don't know who they are,
[16:19] Soldier F
    but we've confirmed three
    women and one Shadow Wolf!
[16:23] Soldier F
    They're all incredibly powerful,
    and Rank B monsters can't stop them!
[16:28] Soldier F
    We cannot continue the advance!
[16:30] Vice-Commander
    What?
[16:31] Soldier F
    Unit 5 is engaging them now, but it won't
    be long before they reach our camp!
[16:40] Vice-Commander
    We'll have to use our secret weapon, then.
[16:43] Vice-Commander
    It will be our main tactic
    we use to defeat the enemy.
[16:46] Vice-Commander
    Are you listening?
[16:49] Soldier F
    Vice-Commander!
[16:51] Rion
    Oh, there he is!
[16:54] Rion
    That's the enemy commander,
    right, Sister Mel?
[16:57] Melfina
    Thank you for guiding us here.
[16:59] Melfina
    Thanks to you, we didn't get lost.
[17:03] Vice-Commander
    Don't tell me that they're...
[17:06] Vice-Commander
    Hey!
[17:08] Vice-Commander
    Wake up, Gigant Lord!
[17:11] Vice-Commander
    We need you!
[17:24] Vice-Commander
    Don't let your guard down for a second!
[17:27] Rion
    Look at that! That giant's gigantic!
[17:30] Rion
    Like it's out of a manga!
[17:34] Melfina
    Rion, you and Alex go defeat it.
[17:39] Rion
    Just the two of us?
[17:41] Melfina
    Yes. If you can do it, that means
    you're a full-fledged adventurer.
[17:47] Melfina
    It's probably equivalent to a Rank S monster.
[17:50] Melfina
    Can you handle it?
[18:00] Rion
    Grandpa Gerard and Brother Kel
    have been teaching me swordsmanship
[18:04] Rion
    and magic from dawn to dusk every day.
[18:07] Rion
    I can do it!
[18:09] Rion
    I can't be the little sister
    that everyone protects forever!
[18:13] Rion
    I want to protect everyone myself!
[18:15] Rion
    We can do it, right, Alex?
[18:21] Rion
    Okay!
[18:24] Melfina
    You'll be fine.
[18:25] Melfina
    If you can use your full power,
    I'm sure you'll be fine.
[18:29] Vice-Commander
    She went alone!
[18:31] Vice-Commander
    They underestimate us!
[18:33] Vice-Commander
    Gigant Lord!
[18:40] Rion
    Let's go, Alex!
[18:49] Vice-Commander
    Hah! That worthless blade
    can't hurt a Rank S!
[18:56] Rion
    Then...
[19:03] Vice-Commander
    That's what you get!
[19:04] Vice-Commander
    Got her!
[19:10] Rion
    This isn't good...
[19:12] Rion
    If it gets one clean hit on me,
    I'm as good as dead.
[19:15] Rion
    But...
[19:17] (Flashback) Melfina
    If you can do it, that means you're
    a full-fledged adventurer.
[19:24] Rion
    Clotho, back me up! You, too, Alex!
[19:29] Rion
    Time to get serious, Mr. Giant!
[19:34] Vice-Commander
    Dual Wielding? Only a hero can use that!
[19:39] Rion
    Really? It was on my skill list with
    the other stuff, so I didn't know!
[19:47] Rion
    Brother Kel made me the Magic Sword
    Caladbolg and the False Holy Sword Wil.
[19:52] Rion
    And for Alex, the Raging Blade Lethal!
[19:56] Rion
    We don't use two swords.
[19:58] Rion
    Wolf and girl, together we use three!
[20:01] Rion
    Generate Edge!
[20:05] Vice-Commander
    Impossible!
[20:08] Vice-Commander
    A little kid slew our giant?
[20:10] Rion
    We did it!
[20:11] Vice-Commander
    Gigant Lord!
[20:13] Vice-Commander
    Transform! Now!
[20:23] Melfina
    Oh, so that's its true form.
[20:27] Sera
    Lucky. I want to fight it, too!
[20:32] Efil
