[00:04] ---
    Please save me. I'm begging you.
[00:07] ---
    Please save me from this
    terrifying darkness. I'm begging you.
[00:16] ---
    Please save me from...
[00:17] ---
    Hold up a second!
[00:18] ---
    Could you stop it for now?
[00:23] ---
    Um, I've got to go save her.
[00:26] ---
    Huh?
[00:26] ---
    I have to go rescue the owner of this voice.
[00:29] ---
    Hold up.
[00:30] ---
    Don't be so hasty.
[00:33] ---
    For one thing, there's no telling
    who might be seeking help, you know.
[00:37] ---
    It's too risky!
[00:38] ---
    But—
[00:39] ---
    Hey, you two...
[00:40] ---
    What's going on?
[00:44] ---
    Jess...
[00:49] ---
    Please save me. I'm begging you.
[00:52] ---
    Please save me from this terrifying darkness.
[00:56] ---
    I'm begging you...
[00:58] ---
    Whose voice is this?
[01:01] ---
    It was only audible to me.
[01:03] ---
    A Yethma named Blaise is asking for help.
[01:09] ---
    Can you tell where she is?
[01:10] ---
    Only that it's far off
    in the distance, that way.
[01:15] ---
    On the outskirts of town, huh?
[01:17] ---
    Rossi!
[03:00] ---
    Naut, do you have an idea
    where she might be?
[03:03] ---
    Not by a long shot.
[03:06] ---
    Jess...
[03:07] ---
    A Yethma's inner voice can be heard
    by someone of her own choosing, right?
[03:12] ---
    That's right.
[03:13] ---
    So, why can't Naut and I hear it directly?
[03:17] ---
    If she's seeking help, shouldn't she be trying
    to reach as many people as she can?
[03:20] ---
    Calling out indiscriminately
    could actually put her in danger.
[03:23] ---
    There could be
    all kinds of reasons for that.
[03:26] ---
    Anyway, the important thing is that...
[03:28] ---
    there's a Yethma calling for help right now.
[03:31] ---
    Jess...
[03:33] ---
    Have you tried reaching her yourself?
[03:36] ---
    Yes, I did try, but I'm not sure
    if I've reached her or not.
[03:43] ---
    Listen to me...
[03:44] ---
    both of you.
[03:48] ---
    That wasn't the voice
    of someone calling for help.
[03:51] ---
    Huh?
[03:52] ---
    An abstract appeal that doesn't even wait
    for a reply, on endless loop.
[03:56] ---
    It's like she's seeking salvation by praying.
[03:59] ---
    Then, isn't that...
[04:01] ---
    even more reason to rush to her rescue?
[04:04] ---
    Even if...
[04:05] ---
    it turns out to be some kind of trap?
[04:11] ---
    Someone could be using
    this sound of praying...
[04:13] ---
    to lure in another Yethma.
[04:17] ---
    That's entirely possible.
[04:29] ---
    From inside that church?
[04:31] ---
    Yes, I think so.
[04:33] ---
    That doesn't make sense.
[04:34] ---
    I know it doesn't.
[04:37] ---
    Mister Pig...
[04:38] ---
    Originally, Yethmas were a race
    who prayed to the stars.
[04:42] ---
    So, we never enter churches.
[04:44] ---
    Is that right?
[04:46] ---
    Yethmas are forbidden from entering
    any holy venue for prayer.
[04:51] ---
    If you want to be precise.
[04:56] ---
    Right.
[04:57] ---
    I'm starting to see it.
[05:24] ---
    What could you want at this late hour?
[05:27] ---
    Sorry.
[05:29] ---
    This one said she could hear a voice
    coming from this church.
[05:34] ---
    I started hearing the voice
    of someone named Blaise...
[05:37] ---
    calling for help.
[05:40] ---
    Well, that's odd!
[05:42] ---
    After all, there's no one here
    in this church but me.
[05:45] ---
    Is that true?
[05:48] ---
    Of course...
[05:50] ---
    it's not as though
    I've actually patrolled the building.
[05:53] ---
    If you need convincing...
[05:55] ---
    would you like to check for yourself?
[06:14] ---
    You can't come in, you know.
[06:24] ---
    I'm sorry, Jess.
[06:26] ---
    I promise you, I'll make this work.
[06:30] ---
    So...
[06:31] ---
    Rossi and I should just charge in
    from the front, right?
[06:34] ---
    They might as well be holding
    a young Yethma girl hostage.
[06:38] ---
    It wouldn't do to make any reckless moves.
[06:41] ---
    Excuse me!
[06:46] ---
    I... have an idea.
[07:01] ---
    Huh?
[07:05] ---
    That's not the same man as before.
[07:10] ---
    This smell... I've smelled it
    in the lab at college.
[07:15] ---
    Jess! A man with an anesthetic
    is coming toward you!
[08:03] ---
    Don't worry.
[08:06] ---
    I didn't kill him.
[08:08] ---
    Jess...
[08:11] ---
    I'm sorry I put you in danger!
[08:28] ---
    Come on, let's go!
[08:56] ---
    Jess...
[08:58] ---
    We're going to go save Blaise.
[09:05] ---
    Yes. Let's go.
[09:29] ---
    Where's the voice coming from?
[09:34] ---
    From under the floor.
[09:36] ---
    Under the floor?
[10:22] ---
    This bloody smell!
[10:36] ---
    Just as I thought...
[10:38] ---
    it was the stench of blood!
[10:39] ---
    If...
[10:41] ---
    Jess had been captured
    by that guy just now...
[10:54] ---
    What are those?
[11:14] ---
    Are you Blaise?
[11:20] ---
    Hey!
[11:20] ---
    Are you all right?
[11:24] ---
    A Yethma statue.
[11:26] ---
    The reason her inner voice
    only reached Jess was because...
[11:30] ---
    her prayers were meant
    for Yethmas as a concept?
[11:45] ---
    We've come to save you.
[11:46] ---
    You're safe now.
[11:56] ---
    What's that letter?
[11:57] ---
    An indictment of all their misdeeds.
[12:00] ---
    When we get back to town, I'm going to toss it
    into the dynasty's local base.
[12:04] ---
    I see.
[12:05] ---
    If we'd charged in,
    it might've put Jess in danger.
[12:09] ---
    Thanks for your warning.
[12:18] ---
    We still haven't introduced
    ourselves, have we?
[12:20] ---
    I'm Naut.
[12:21] ---
    This is Rossi.
[12:23] ---
    My name is Jess.
[12:25] ---
    It's nice to meet you.
[12:27] ---
    And this is...
[12:29] ---
    Mister Pig.
[12:30] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[12:34] ---
    Come to think of it, do you have a name?
[12:36] ---
    I insist that you call me "Pig"!
[12:38] ---
    If I told her my real name...
[12:40] ---
    there'd go my chance
    of being called "Pig" by a girl!
[12:44] ---
    I used to serve...
[12:46] ---
    the gravekeepers of Lyubori, House Esse.
[12:49] ---
    I am Blaise, a Yethma.
[12:52] ---
    She said "used to serve." Meaning...
[12:55] ---
    this girl is another Yethma
    on her way to the royal capital?
[13:04] ---
    Y-You can go into more details tomorrow.
[13:07] ---
    Do you think you can walk on your own?
[13:11] ---
    All right, then.
[13:12] ---
    Let's get going!
[13:24] ---
    She's asleep now.
[13:26] ---
    Apparently, she was quite exhausted.
[13:28] ---
    Is that right?
[13:30] ---
    You guys should get some rest, too.
[13:32] ---
    We'll be walking all day again today.
[13:53] ---
    What's this?
[13:54] ---
    You're awake already?
[13:57] ---
    Yes.
[13:58] ---
    Thank you for all that you did last night.
[14:04] ---
    I'm so glad we were able to find you.
[14:07] ---
    We never would've noticed you...
[14:09] ---
    from where we were
    unless you prayed really intently.
[14:19] ---
    Not many people could pray
    with that much fervor for one thing only.
[14:23] ---
    You've got a strong soul.
[14:25] ---
    You take care of it.
[14:32] ---
    No Two Flowers are the Same
[14:38] ---
    Thank you for all that you did for me.
[14:40] ---
    I will never forget
    how indebted I am to you.
[14:44] ---
    Blaise, are you planning
    to go to the royal capital on your own?
[14:55] ---
    I've thought it over.
[14:57] ---
    Is there any way we can take Blaise
    with us to the royal capital?
[15:01] ---
    I'd also like to ask you to let her come.
[15:06] ---
    Having one more person to guard...
[15:08] ---
    puts Jess in that much more in danger.
[15:11] ---
    Are you okay with that?
[15:13] ---
    I'm well aware of the risks.
[15:15] ---
    I know we'd be causing you trouble, but...
[15:18] ---
    of course I'll do whatever I can, as well.
[15:31] ---
    Is that so?
[15:47] ---
    I was worried because it seems
    like she was being held captive for a while...
[15:50] ---
    but on the surface, at least,
    Blaise seems to be in good physical condition.
[15:53] ---
    Unlike Jess, Blaise is reticent
    and doesn't betray any sign of what she's feeling.
[15:58] ---
    There's no question that as a race,
[16:00] ---
    Yethmas are reserved, both in terms
    of speaking style and personality.
[16:04] ---
    But that must be due to their social standing.
[16:08] ---
    Of course they each have
    their own personality.
[16:10] ---
    And most importantly...
[16:12] ---
    I'd arbitrarily determined that Yethmas
    were reserved in terms of breasts, too...
[16:17] ---
    but apparently that was a misconception
    based on a small sample size.
[16:21] ---
    Excuse me...
[16:22] ---
    Huh?
[16:24] ---
    Both Miss Blaise and I can hear
    everything you're thinking.
[16:29] ---
    My bad!
[16:30] ---
    I should've been more considerate!
[16:32] ---
    I feel terrible!
[16:35] ---
    That being said...
[16:36] ---
    Blaise doesn't seem to be bothered at all.
    She's been like this throughout this journey.
[16:42] ---
    I have a whole boatload
    of questions for her, but...
[16:44] ---
    - I don't mind. Really.
    - Huh?
[16:47] ---
    Go on and gaze at the one you like better.
[16:50] ---
    No! You've got it wrong!
[16:52] ---
    I'm your chabirone, Jess!
[16:53] ---
    From here on in, I swear I'll never gaze
    at anyone's breasts but yours!
[16:57] ---
    I think I just came off
    sounding like a pervert!
[17:02] ---
    Please don't give it another thought.
[17:04] ---
    After all, here in Mesteria, it stands to reason
    that men would prefer the larger ones.
[17:10] ---
    And to prove my point, look.
[17:12] ---
    That guy...
[17:14] ---
    Jess, I don't want you
    to get the wrong idea!
[17:16] ---
    The reason one's gaze
    turns to the larger ones...
[17:19] ---
    is the same reason why people tend to look
    at sunflowers in bloom since they're taller!
[17:24] ---
    Sunflowers, did you say?
[17:26] ---
    Even among those who turn their gazes
    toward the sunflowers,
[17:29] ---
    there are some who actually like
    little violets better.
[17:33] ---
    Back where I come from, the ones
    who preferred violets were the majority.
[17:37] ---
    Well, I'm very glad to hear that.
[17:41] ---
    Maybe it's a stretch to call it "the majority"...
[17:44] ---
    but I'm sure you people can appreciate it!
[17:46] ---
    The beauty of the violets
    quietly blooming by the side of the road.
[17:52] ---
    Brother...
[17:53] ---
    There you go. Have an apple.
[17:55] ---
    Oink?
[17:56] ---
    Since you said we should have the kind
    of relationship that siblings have, Mister Pig.
[18:01] ---
    Oh, you mean last night?
[18:03] ---
    That was just an example, and there's no reason
    to address me any differently.
[18:07] ---
    Then, you'd rather
    I didn't call you "Brother"?
[18:11] ---
    N-No!
[18:12] ---
    Well...
[18:14] ---
    I guess...
[18:15] ---
    I'm actually not that averse to it.
[18:19] ---
    Here, Brother!
[18:21] ---
    Say "Aah!"
[18:22] ---
    Aah!
[18:27] ---
    You two...
[18:29] ---
    What the heck are you doing?
[18:30] ---
    Hey, it's not what you think!
[18:32] ---
    I'm not a pervert who enjoys being called
    "Brother" by a younger, beautiful girl!
[18:37] ---
    No, sir!
[18:38] ---
    Is that you introducing yourself?
[18:42] ---
    You like older sisters,
    don't you, Mister Naut?
[18:48] ---
    I don't have an older sister!
[18:50] ---
    Wait...
[18:51] ---
    but last night, in your sleep,
    you were calling out "Big Sis" several times.
[18:57] ---
    And you were begging
    to put your head in her lap, right?
[19:00] ---
    But if it wasn't your older sister,
    then who were you talking to?
[19:05] ---
    Pure curiosity can be so cruel sometimes.
[19:09] ---
    Wh-Wh-Who cares who it was?
[19:11] ---
    It's not as if the woman
    I had a crush on...
[19:12] ---
    would coddle me when I called her "Big Sis"
    and cradled my head in her lap!
[19:15] ---
    Th-That never happened, okay?
[19:18] ---
    Is that you introducing yourself?
[19:19] ---
    All right, Jess!
[19:21] ---
    That's enough of that.
[19:22] ---
    Also, since calling me "Brother" seems unhealthy
    to me somehow, let's put an end to that, too.
[19:27] ---
    Are you sure? I'll be happy to try out as many
    different ways of addressing you as you like...
[19:32] ---
    so please don't be shy about asking me!
[19:34] ---
    Yeah, that would be great!
[19:40] ---
    So, this is...
[19:42] ---
    Right.
[19:43] ---
    The Impaling Stones.
[19:45] ---
    During the dark ages, a certain mage...
[19:48] ---
    skewered hordes of people on these stones...
[19:52] ---
    and that's how it got its name.
[19:55] ---
    Well, apparently, there were
    strategic implications to that.
[19:58] ---
    One was to make the troops lying in ambush
    lose their will to fight...
[20:01] ---
    and the other was to utilize the birds
    milling around the corpses...
[20:05] ---
    to detect the enemy's
    movements right away.
[20:08] ---
    Even a great mage
    who was unbeatable in direct combat...
[20:11] ---
    was afraid of being taken by surprise, I guess.
[20:13] ---
    In a place like this, there's no telling
    where the enemy might be lurking, right?
[20:30] ---
    I have to say...
[20:31] ---
    Naut seems to be way more dependable
    than I ever thought.
[20:36] ---
    Choosing a route
    that's safe from start to finish,
[20:39] ---
    the places he picks to rest up,
    even the way he secures food for us...
[20:43] ---
    There's just no other way
    to describe it but "spot on."
[20:45] ---
    Making Rossi rest early so he can stand guard
    during the night... He has all his bases covered.
[20:57] ---
    You should get some sleep while you can.
[21:04] ---
    He impressed me
    during that incident at the church...
[21:06] ---
    and it's not just his physical ability.
[21:09] ---
    His leadership skills
    are also a sight to see.
[21:12] ---
    I guess this means my turn is over now.
[21:16] ---
    Not good!
[21:18] ---
    I'm Jess's chabirone!
[21:20] ---
    I still have yet to...
[21:22] ---
    It's not over yet.
[21:25] ---
    For someone living
    in constant danger of death,
[21:28] ---
    she looks so peaceful at rest.
[22:01] ---
    Wanna step outside?
[22:24] ---
    Tell me.
[22:28] ---
    Are you prepared to die?
