[00:04] LIGHT
    Enough talk.
[00:06] LIGHT
    Go to sleep.
[00:16] LIGHT
    You're safe now.
[00:20] LIGHT
    Let's go home, Monica.
[00:24] MONICA
    Light...
[00:25] MONICA
    I owe you another favor.
[00:33] (Flashback) HOLY SISTER
    I do not want him dead.
[00:37] (Flashback) HOLY SISTER
    Make sure you capture him alive.
[00:39] ZAMDO/ID
    Is that kid really that valuable?
[00:42] ZAMDO/ID
    No matter. He must be
    caught in my trap by now.
[00:46] ZAMDO/ID
    I'll use this success as a
    stepping stone to climb—
[00:53] ZAMDO
    What?
[00:55] ZAMDO
    Light Underwood!

[02:30] IVAR
    Sorry for dragging you into our mess.
[02:34] LIGHT
    I could say the same thing.
[02:36] LIGHT
    Apparently they were
    after both me and Monica.
[02:40] IVAR
    After this, I'm cutting ties with
    the Blackbird Merchant Group.
[02:43] IVAR
    Though our income will
    temporarily drop to zero,
[02:46] IVAR
    nothing's more important than our safety.
[02:48] SERICA
    Don't push yourself, Moni!
[02:55] MONICA
    Are you gonna stop making weapons?
[02:57] IVAR
    I can't do that. I'll just find
    a different decent buyer.
[03:02] IVAR
    Among forged products, the value
    of weapons are on another level.
[03:06] IVAR
    You know that from personal experience.

[03:10] MONICA
    Yeah, but...
[03:12] IVAR
    If I want to keep the workshop open,
    I can't stop making weapons.
[03:18] IVAR
    And most of all...
[03:20] IVAR
    I've been running this shop for 25 years.
[03:23] IVAR
    This entire time, I've run this shop
    with pride in the skills I honed.
[03:26] IVAR
    If I compromise on that, it's all over.
[03:28] MONICA
    So you're okay with your
    skills being used for evil?
[03:33] SERICA
    You can argue once you're feeling better.
[03:36] SERICA
    For now, go rest upstairs, okay?
[03:40] IVAR
    Light.
[03:41] IVAR
    It's late. You should stay here.
[03:45] IVAR
    It's my way of thanking you.
[03:46] LIGHT
    What? But...
[03:48] SERICA
    Don't be shy.
[03:50] SERICA
    We'll even prepare a bath and
    change of clothes for you.
[03:53] LIGHT
    What do you think, Ayla?
[03:55] AYLA
    Mr. Light, why don't we take
    them up on their offer?
[04:02] LIGHT
    In that case, we appreciate
    your hospitality.
[04:06] LIGHT
    This place is pretty big business.
[04:08] SERICA
    Everyone here loves the boss.
[04:11] SERICA
    They say they want to work here forever.
[04:15] LIGHT
    Do you make weapons, too, ma'am?
[04:17] SERICA
    No, I'm not a tradesman.
[04:20] SERICA
    Feeding everyone, doing their laundry,
[04:24] SERICA
    and looking after the little
    ones takes up my whole day.
[04:28] SERICA
    My profession is housewife.
[04:32] LIGHT
    I see.
[04:34] SERICA
    That's why I think it's best to stay out
    of my husband and Moni's disagreements.
[04:41] SERICA
    It's how tradesmen are meant to clash.
[04:45] SERICA
    I have hardly any influence on them.
[04:48] LIGHT
    I wouldn't say that.
[04:50] SERICA
    What?
[04:51] LIGHT
    Monica speaks the same way you do.
[04:55] LIGHT
    You do have an influence on her.
[04:57] LIGHT
    You should be more confident.
[05:01] SERICA
    You're a good kid.
[05:10] LIGHT
    Are you feeling better?
[05:13] MONICA
    Yeah. Looks like I got all the
    sleeping powder out of my system.
[05:17] MONICA
    How's Ayla?
[05:18] LIGHT
    Fast asleep.
[05:20] LIGHT
    Apparently she waited outside the
    entire time I was off rescuing you.
[05:25] MONICA
    She really is a good girl.
[05:28] LIGHT
    What's that?
[05:30] MONICA
    The first dagger I made when I was a kid.
[05:34] MONICA
    It was in a drawer in my room.
[05:37] MONICA
    When my father, who rarely
    praises anyone, saw this,
[05:40] MONICA
    he said I had a knack for it.
[05:43] MONICA
    I was remembering how happy that made me.
[05:45] LIGHT
    So you've always had a talent for this.
[05:48] MONICA
    When I acquired the Super Forge skill,
[05:52] MONICA
    I thought I was meant to be a blacksmith.
[05:55] MONICA
    Looking at this now, I can
    see it's pretty misshapen.
[05:59] LIGHT
    You respected the boss that much, huh?
[06:02] MONICA
    Yeah.
[06:04] MONICA
    He taught me all kinds of skills,
[06:06] MONICA
    and I watched him grow the workshop
    by taking on more and more students.
[06:10] LIGHT
    Couldn't you reconcile with him?
[06:16] MONICA
    For me, blacksmithing was about receiving
    praise, making people happy,
[06:20] MONICA
    and earning money.
[06:22] MONICA
    It was nothing but fun things I loved.
[06:25] MONICA
    But after my grandma's incident,
    I finally realized it was more than that.
[06:30] MONICA
    By then, I'd already sent
    several swords out into the world.
[06:35] MONICA
    I became afraid to make more swords.
[06:38] MONICA
    That's why I can't stay at the
    same workshop as my dad anymore.
[06:43] MONICA
    Light, have you ever killed someone?
[06:49] LIGHT
    Yes.
[06:52] LIGHT
    They were undead who used to be human.
[06:55] LIGHT
    At first, I was at a loss and
    felt like I couldn't do it.
[07:02] LIGHT
    But I decided I wouldn't hesitate
    for the sake of protecting Ayla.
[07:06] MONICA
    I don't know anymore if swords
    are good or bad things.
[07:13] MONICA
    Do you use swords for good?
[07:15] LIGHT
    Well, yeah.
[07:17] LIGHT
    But my idea of good and your
    idea of good might be different.
[07:23] LIGHT
    Do you think it's good if I cut
    down my enemies as an adventurer?
[07:29] MONICA
    I'm not sure, but...
[07:33] MONICA
    I like when people work hard
    to achieve their dreams.
[07:46] ZAMDO
    Hey, did you sleep well?
[07:49] DOUG
    Boss! What is this?
[07:52] ZAMDO
    You were chained up by the time I returned.
[07:55] DOUG
    Damn it! Those jerks...
[07:57] ZAMDO
    Hey, Doug.
[07:59] ZAMDO
    You're not so soft that you'd do nothing
    after suffering that loss, right?
[08:04] DOUG
    O-Of course not.
[08:06] ZAMDO
    I've already got a plan.
[08:08] ZAMDO
    This time, I'll crush them
    with my own two hands.
[08:12] DOUG
    I knew you could do it, boss!
[08:15] ZEMDO
    Boys, we move at dawn!
[08:18] HENCHMEN
    Yes, boss!
[08:19] ZAMDO
    We'll pay you back a hundredfold, Light.
[08:28] AYLA
    Good morning, Light.
[08:30] AYLA
    Apparently breakfast is ready.
[08:38] LIGHT
    Good morning.
[08:40] SERICA
    Good morning.
[08:41] LIGHT
    Huh? Where are the boss and his apprentices?
[08:45] SERICA
    They're already in the workshop.
[08:47] LIGHT
    They get up so early.
[08:49] AYLA
    You just sleep too much.
[08:51] GIRL
    No! That's Monica's seat!
[08:54] LIGHT
    Huh?
[08:55] SERICA
    Oh, right. Sorry.
[08:57] SERICA
    That's her assigned seat,
    so we always keep it open.
[09:03] LIGHT
    So she can come back anytime?
[09:06] SERICA
    She can be capricious.
[09:08] AYLA
    Thanks for the food.
[09:09] LIGHT
    Where is she?
[09:10] SERICA
    Still in her room.
[09:13] SERICA
    Sorry, but could you take her
    breakfast up to her later?
[09:18] SERICA
    She might feel too awkward
    to come down and eat here.
[09:26] LIGHT
    There you are.
[09:28] LIGHT
    You weren't in your room,
    so I've been looking for you.
[09:31] MONICA
    What's up?
[09:33] LIGHT
    I'm here to deliver breakfast.
[09:35] MONICA
    Thanks.
[09:38] LIGHT
    I thought you'd gone back to your workshop.
[09:40] MONICA
    I figured I could at least help out to
    make up for the worry I caused yesterday.
[09:46] MONICA
    But I feel awkward about going into
    the workshop, so I'm doing yard work.
[09:51] LIGHT
    Are they growing something?
[09:53] MONICA
    Yeah, but it looks like
    a bad harvest this year.
[09:58] LIGHT
    Can I see?
[10:04] MONICA
    What? Light, was that a skill?
[10:08] LIGHT
    Yeah. I'm a Fruitmaster, so I can
    accelerate the growth of fruits.
[10:13] MONICA
    That's not what I meant!
[10:15] MONICA
    How'd you put the Blackbird Merchant
    Group to sleep yesterday, then?
[10:19] MONICA
    Wasn't that a skill, too?
[10:22] LIGHT
    Fruitmaster allows me to eat
    as many skill fruits as I want.
[10:26] AYLA
    That's why I always carry some with me.
[10:31] MONICA
    That's impossible!
[10:33] MONICA
    Eating a second skill fruit will kill you!
[10:37] LIGHT
    Normally, yeah!
[10:42] LIGHT
    What was that?
[10:48] LIGHT
    Zamdo!
[10:51] MONICA
    Wh-What have you done?
[10:53] ZAMDO
    They wouldn't let me through,
    so I zapped them.
[11:01] MONICA
    No!
[11:04] ZAMDO
    Shall we take this outside, Light Underwood?
[11:12] ZAMDO
    I heard you took good care
    of my henchmen last night.
[11:16] LIGHT
    Looks like you didn't learn your lesson.
[11:20] LIGHT
    I'll put you to sleep, too.
[11:30] LIGHT
    What?!
[11:31] ZAMDO
    Inhaling that powder seems
    to put people to sleep,
[11:34] ZAMDO
    but I can nullify it completely by
    wrapping myself in lightning armor.
[11:39] ZAMDO
    I'll make a mess of both
    you and this workshop.
[11:48] AYLA
    "Thunder Charge!"
SIGN    <<Thunder Charge>>
[11:49] AYLA
    It allows him to gather lightning
    around himself and launch it.
[11:55] MONICA
    What do you think you're doing?!
[11:57] ZAMDO
    I'll take you out for their sake, too.
[12:01] LIGHT
    Sleep Pixie, you get the day off.
[12:05] LIGHT
    Ayla, take Monica and stand back.
[12:08] AYLA
    Okay.
[12:10] LIGHT
    You'll pay for this.
[12:18] ZAMDO
    The doors to my hideout that you
    destroyed were expensive, you know.
[12:25] ZAMDO
    This is payback.
[12:27] LIGHT
    It's your fault for kidnapping Monica!
[12:30] ZAMDO
    I want her to make weapons
    for me, no matter what.
[12:36] ZAMDO
    High-quality swords made
    from cheap materials.
[12:40] ZAMDO
    It's practically a dream.
[12:44] ZAMDO
    With your skill, you could
    make something great,
[12:50] ZAMDO
    unlike these makeshift swords.
[12:52] MONICA
    What do you think you're doing?
[12:54] MONICA
    The tradesmen in the workshop put great
    effort into making every one of those.
[12:59] MONICA
    I'm shocked you can do that when
    you're a weapons merchant.
[13:05] ZAMDO
    It's because I'm a weapons merchant.
[13:07] ZAMDO
    There's no point in developing
    an attachment to a product.
[13:10] MONICA
    Stop!
[13:11] LIGHT
    Monica, stand back.
[13:13] MONICA
    But...
[13:15] LIGHT
    Move your foot, you evil merchant.
[13:19] MONICA
    Light...
[13:20] ZAMDO
    I'll have accomplished my goal if
    I can just secure the two of you.
[13:26] ZAMDO
    If you'll allow yourselves to be captured,
[13:28] ZAMDO
    then I'll leave without
    destroying anything else.
[13:31] LIGHT
    I think I'll capture you and turn you
    over to the Security Bureau instead.
[13:36] ZAMDO
    No deal, huh?
[13:38] ZAMDO
    Then I'll have to use force.
[13:43] LIGHT
    Bring it on!
[13:47] ZAMDO
    Well, this should be fun.
[13:51] LIGHT
    Monica, I'm going to use this sword.
[13:59] ZAMDO
    I suppose a makeshift sword is
    still better than a broken one.
[14:04] LIGHT
    I won't let you trample all over
    the workshop or this sword.
[14:08] ZAMDO
    I like the look on your face.
[14:11] ZAMDO
    It'll be worth knocking you around.
[14:12] LIGHT/ID
    I can't afford to lose this fight.
[14:16] LIGHT
    Sword God Style, Surge Blade!
[14:19] LIGHT/ID
    A lightning shield?
[14:29] LIGHT
    What are these?
[14:31] LIGHT
    Metal balls?
[14:33] MONICA
    Light!
[14:34] ZAMDO
    If I just wanted to defeat you,
    it would be quicker to paralyze you,
[14:40] ZAMDO
    but that's not a very interesting
    way to exact my revenge.
[14:44] ZAMDO
    I want you to suffer the pain
    of physical blows, too.
[14:50] LIGHT/ID
    I can't predict the balls' paths!
[14:54] ZAMDO
    I do hope you won't surrender.
[14:59] LIGHT
    Never!
[15:01] MONICA
    Metal balls?
[15:03] MONICA
    Ayla, can you appraise the
    material of those balls?
[15:06] AYLA
    I-I'll give it a shot.
[15:10] MONICA
    They're made of iron.
[15:13] MONICA
    Iron. I'm not sure if this'll work, but...
[15:17] AYLA
    Ms. Monica? What are you doing?
[15:22] MONICA
    Light! Use this!
[15:27] LIGHT
    What? Are you telling me
    to make pancakes right now?
[15:30] MONICA
    No! Use it to catch those balls!
[15:33] LIGHT
    Huh?
[15:34] ZAMDO
    Enough talk.
[15:44] ZAMDO
    What?!
[15:45] MONICA
    I imbued that frying pan with
    the power to attract iron.
[15:49] MONICA
    I came up with it on the spot,
    but it seems to have worked.
[15:53] ZAMDO
    Well, well. Super Forge can
    even do that, too? Impressive.
[16:01] ZAMDO
    However...
[16:04] MONICA
    How?
[16:06] AYLA
    The sword was fine because
    the grip is made of leather,
[16:09] AYLA
    but apparently the frying
    pan conducts electricity.
[16:12] MONICA
    No way. His lightning is a pain in the rear.
[16:17] LIGHT
    I'm okay. My eyes have gotten
    a little used to them.
[16:21] MONICA
    But...
[16:23] MONICA/ID
    Light's sword is chipped.
[16:26] MONICA/ID
    If they keep exchanging blows,
    it'll break eventually, too.
[16:30] MONICA
    He needs a stronger sword.
[16:33] AYLA
    What?
[16:34] MONICA/ID
    But... But if I make another sword, then...
[16:44] MONICA/ID
    Then...
[16:45] MONICA/ID
    It's no use. I can't do it.
[16:50] AYLA
    Mr. Light!
[16:51] LIGHT
    I'm not done yet.
[16:55] LIGHT
    Monica, take Ayla and run!
[16:58] MONICA
    What are you going to do?
[17:00] LIGHT
    I'll hold out here until the
    Security Bureau arrives!
[17:05] ZAMDO
    I admire your resolve.
[17:08] MONICA/ID
    Light is taking a beating in order
    to protect me and the workshop.
[17:13] MONICA/ID
    Am I really just going to run away?
[17:16] MONICA
    No!
[17:19] (Flashback) MONICA
    Do you use swords for good?
[17:26] AYLA
    Ms. Monica!
[17:30] MONICA
    Let's go, Ayla!
[17:37] MONICA/ID
    Wait for me, Light!
SIGN    West Yuruba Plateau
[17:46] DRIVER
    We'll be arriving at our last stop,
    Blue Deer Station, shortly.
[17:55] DRIVER
    The horses can't go any farther,
    so you'll have to walk.
[17:59] DRIVER
    You don't often see a girl traveling alone.
[18:03] LENA
    I know. I have business up ahead.
[18:06] LENA
    There are a lot of people here despite
    it being up in the mountains.
[18:09] DRIVER
    It's the season of the Athena Fairy Festival.
[18:13] DRIVER
    Are you here for the festival, too?
[18:15] LENA
    No, I'm looking for someone.
[18:27] LENA/ID
    I'll find her no matter what.
[18:33] LIGHT
    This shield again?
[18:36] ZAMDO
    You exert quite a lot of
    pressure with a sword.
[18:39] ZAMDO
    Perhaps I'll fight back with my own blade.
[18:45] LIGHT
    What?
[18:46] ZAMDO
    Show yourself, Lamina!
[18:52] LIGHT
    A sword of lightning?
[18:54] LIGHT
    I'll cut that thing to pieces!
[18:58] LIGHT
    Why does it feel so solid?
[19:00] ZAMDO
    Even lightning, which has no form,
[19:03] ZAMDO
    can simulate hardness when compressed.
[19:08] LIGHT/ID
    This guy's skill doesn't just
    let him launch lightning.
[19:12] LIGHT/ID
    He can even pull off that trick, too.
[19:14] LIGHT/ID
    But I have the advantage in a sword fight!
[19:19] ZAMDO
    It has hardness, but...
[19:23] LIGHT
    It passed through it?
[19:28] ZAMDO
    Lamina is both a blade and lightning.
[19:32] ZAMDO
    Whether it connects with your
    sword or not is up to me.
[19:36] LIGHT/ID
    Either way, I'll overpower him by
    pushing Sword God to its limit!
[19:48] LIGHT/ID
    He knows martial arts on
    top of having that skill.
[19:51] LIGHT/ID
    He has no weaknesses.
[19:53] LIGHT/ID
    He's stronger than anyone I've fought before.
[19:56] LIGHT/ID
    This is the true power of
    "Thunder Charge" Zamdo!
[19:59] ZAMDO
    Do you still have the will to stand back up?
[20:03] LIGHT/ID
    But I can't lose.
[20:09] ZAMDO
    You can't beat me by wildly
    swinging your sword around.
[20:12] LIGHT
    I bet!
[20:13] ZAMDO/ID
    From below?
[20:20] LIGHT
    Gale Flash!
[20:26] LIGHT
    Looks like wind pressure works against you.
[20:34] ZAMDO
    Well, shucks.
[20:36] ZAMDO
    I even accommodated you
    by playing with a sword.
[20:42] ZAMDO
    Blasting me with wind isn't fair.
[20:46] LIGHT
    Don't go making up your own rules
    and getting mad about them.
[20:48] LIGHT
    Your manner of speech seems
    to have changed, too.
[20:51] ZAMDO
    Playtime is over.
[20:55] ZAMDO
    Show yourself, Jubatus.
SIGN    <<Jubatus>>
[21:02] LIGHT
    It's shaped like a beast this time?
[21:04] ZAMDO
    My skill is simply far
    more powerful than yours.
[21:10] LIGHT
    Gale Flash!
[21:16] LIGHT/ID
    I'll force it back before it breaks!
[21:22] LIGHT
    He's using a sword at the same time?
[21:32] ZAMDO
    Not so spirited anymore, huh?
[23:12] AYLA
    What are you going to do, Ms. Monica?
[23:15] MONICA
    Rescue my dad and the others,
[23:18] MONICA
    and make a sword for Light.
[23:20] AYLA
    What?!
[23:26] MONICA
    Darn it!
[23:27] MONICA
    The Blackbird Merchant Group
    won't get away with this.
[23:29] AYLA
    Ms. Monica, why don't we...
[23:32] MONICA
    That's a pretty dirty trick.
[23:36] AYLA
    Set your sights on becoming
    the greatest adventurer ever!
