**[00:05] Allam**
You're Yuri of the Volunteer Army.
**[00:18] Yuuri**
And you are?
**[00:22] Allam**
I'm Aram.
**[00:34] Yuuri**
Aram!
**[00:35] Yuuri**
Is he dead?
**[00:37] Michidia**
No way.
**[00:38] Kain**
Marina, healing magic!
**[00:40] Marina**
Right away.
**[00:42] Yuuri**
It's all right.
**[00:44] Yuuri**
He's just unconscious.
**[00:47] Kain**
Man, don't scare me like that.
**[00:49] Michidia**
Who is this kid?
**[01:16] Eirenus**
So, they're headed for the Vice Capital.
**[01:35] Allam**
Where am I?
**[01:40] Yuuri**
You're awake.
**[01:42] Allam**
What happened to the old lady and the rest?
**[01:44] Yuuri**
They're all safe.
**[01:45] Allam**
That's a relief.
**[01:46] Yuuri**
The villagers said to thank you.
**[01:49] Allam**
It was nothing.
**[01:53] Allam**
You're Yuri, aren't you?
**[01:55] Yuuri**
You've heard of me?
**[02:04] Allam**
I heard you're the captain
of the Volunteer Army.
**[02:09] Phoena**
Oh, you're awake?
**[02:11] Phoena**
Thank goodness you're okay.
**[02:15] Phoena**
Oh, I'm Phoena.
**[02:18] Phoena**
Nice to meet you.
**[02:20] Allam**
Sure.
**[02:21] Phoena**
Let's go eat.
**[02:23] Phoena**
Kain and the others
will be back from patrol soon.
**[02:27] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[02:31] Phoena**
Here you go.
**[02:31] Wayne**
Thanks.
**[02:32] Michidia**
Here.
**[02:33] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[02:37] Phoena**
Here.
**[02:38] Aries**
Thanks.
**[02:39] Kain**
Time to eat.
**[02:45] Michidia**
What is it, Kain?
**[02:48] Kain**
Ah... Is this...
**[02:51] Marina**
Don't tell me...
**[02:53] Michidia**
Phoena's cooking, isn't she?
**[02:55] Phoena**
Eat up, everyone.
**[03:03] Allam**
Seconds, please.
**[03:06] Phoena**
Coming right up.
**[03:08] Kain**
How can you eat Phoena's cooking?
**[03:11] Allam**
What do you mean? It's great.
**[03:13] Kain**
What do you usually eat?
**[03:16] Allam**
Lizards.
**[03:19] Phoena**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[03:20] Phoena**
Here you are.
**[03:21] Phoena**
There's plenty more where that came from.
**[03:26] Allam**
S-Sure.
**[03:28] Yuuri**
Aram, you aren't from
that village, are you?
**[03:32] Allam**
No, I was just passing by.
**[03:34] Yuriana**
You were trying to protect the village
all by yourself?
**[03:38] Allam**
I couldn't just let it be destroyed.
**[03:40] Allam**
Besides, I can't stand those black things.
**[03:43] Phoena**
You're pretty strong.
**[03:45] Allam**
Y-Yeah.
**[03:48] Allam**
But...
**[03:49] Allam**
But I'm not good enough.
**[03:51] Allam**
I want to get a lot stronger.
**[03:57] Marina**
Phoena! The Chronicle!
**[04:11] Wayne**
Your Highness!
**[04:12] Michidia**
Phoena!
**[04:16] Allam**
What's happening?
**[04:23] Allam**
Look out!
**[04:26] Kain**
Aram!
**[04:28] Kain**
Are you all right?
**[04:29] Allam**
Yeah.
**[04:41] Yuuri**
Phoena.
**[04:43] Yuuri**
Phoena!
**[04:45] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[04:51] Yuuri**
Looks like it's settled down.
**[05:02] Allam**
Hey, what is that?
**[05:05] Phoena**
The Chain Chronicle.
**[05:08] Phoena**
A chronology of everything about the world.
**[05:13] Phoena**
If the world is stained black,
so will the Chronicle.
**[05:16] Phoena**
And vice versa.
**[05:19] Allam**
That can't be...
**[05:21] Phoena**
More pages have been stained black.
**[05:32] Black King**
The darkness spreads further.
**[05:38] Black King**
Have you still not located the sprite?
**[05:43] Eirenus**
Was it not killed in the last battle?
**[05:48] Black King**
The world has yet to fall into ruin.
**[05:51] Phoena**
Then...
**[05:52] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[05:53] Yuuri**
Pirika is still alive somewhere.
**[05:55] Allam**
Pirika?
**[05:57] Yuriana**
One of our friends. A sprite.
**[05:59] Yuriana**
Tiny and cute.
**[06:01] Yuriana**
Pirika has a foul mouth at times,
but is very important to this world.
**[06:06] Phoena**
Pirika is the will of the world,
a world with hope for the future.
**[06:10] Yuuri**
We have to find and save it.
**[06:15] Black King**
Find her and dispose of it.
**[06:18] Black King**
So long as that sprite exists,
the world cannot be destroyed.
**[06:37] Allam**
What's up?
**[06:38] Yuuri**
Can we talk?
**[06:41] Yuuri**
Aram, why do you want to become stronger?
**[06:45] Allam**
Why?
**[06:47] Allam**
Because you can't do anything
if you're weak, obviously.
**[06:50] Yuuri**
I see.
**[06:54] Yuuri**
Aram, why don't you join us?
**[07:01] Allam**
No, I'm not gonna join the Volunteer Army.
**[07:05] Allam**
I'd rather be my own man. Free.
**[07:07] Yuuri**
There's only so much you can do by yourself.
**[07:10] Allam**
That's not true.
**[07:11] Allam**
I've fought alone my entire life.
**[07:14] Yuuri**
But it's not as if you've never lost, is it?
**[07:17] Yuuri**
There must have been times
when you had to run from your opponent.
**[07:21] Allam**
Well...
**[07:22] Allam**
I'll be able to beat them someday.
**[07:25] Yuuri**
What if you were just lucky?
**[07:29] Allam**
What would you know?
**[07:31] Allam**
You lost even with your buddies.
**[07:34] Yuuri**
That's exactly why I'm asking.
**[07:36] Yuuri**
Aram, hear me out...
**[07:48] Aries**
The highway ahead seems to have
escaped the blackening earlier.
**[07:52] Yuriana**
Thank goodness.
**[07:54] Yuriana**
We'll depart at dawn.
**[07:56] Yuriana**
For the Vice Capital.
**[08:07] Michidia**
That's...
**[08:10] Yuriana**
Hurry!
**[08:25] Silva**
Don't let a single one of them through!
***SIGN*** Soldier Guild Leader:
Silva
***SIGN*** Swordmaster of Slaughter:
Teresa
**[08:36] Teresa**
This is too easy.
**[08:48] Dusty**
I stock only the best weapons.
**[08:48] [SONG] ---**
Hot-Blooded Arms Dealer:
Dusty
**[09:13] Silva**
Dammit.
**[09:25] Silva**
Yuri!
**[09:26] Silva**
Yuri!
**[09:27] Silva**
It's good to see you.
**[09:29] Silva**
You, too, Princess.
**[09:30] Yuuri**
Sorry to worry you.
**[09:32] Yuriana**
Status?
**[09:33] Silva**
The southern bridge has fallen.
**[09:34] Silva**
The outer wall is, well,
you can see for yourself.
**[09:38] Silva**
Aludra's defending the castle walls
by the slums, but...
**[09:55] Silva**
New recruit? Kid's got spirit.
**[09:58] Yuuri**
Yes.
**[10:10] Yuuri**
We'll handle things here.
**[10:12] Silva**
Got it. I'm counting on you.
**[10:14] Silva**
All right! We're going to go help Aludra out!
**[10:24] Kain**
There are so many of them.
**[10:26] Kain**
What do we do, Captain?
**[10:27] Yuuri**
What else?
**[10:28] Yuuri**
We take 'em down!
**[10:29] Kain**
You got it!
**[10:30] Yuriana**
Let's finish this!
**[10:32] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[10:37] Allam**
Don't forget me!
**[10:44] Allam**
More of them?
**[11:00] Allam**
Piece of cake.
**[11:03] Burkchardt**
You...
**[11:04] Burkchardt**
You took my mana again!
**[11:06] Allam**
Wh-What?
**[11:11] Wayne**
Burckhardt!
**[11:14] Burkchardt**
We'll discuss this later.
**[11:15] Allam**
Ow...
**[11:16] Allam**
Man, what's his problem?
**[11:19] Yuuri**
Let's do this!
**[11:49] Yuuri**
Seize the light!
**[12:03] Allam**
W-Wow.
**[12:07] Kain**
We did it.
**[12:08] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[12:09] Allam**
Hey!
**[12:11] Allam**
That was amazing!
**[12:13] Kain**
I-I guess.
**[12:14] Kain**
That was our chain attack.
**[12:17] Kain**
Chaining attacks makes them more powerful.
**[12:20] Michidia**
And to do that,
we need all our mana to resonate.
**[12:23] Allam**
I want to try.
**[12:26] Kain**
I think it might be a bit soon for you.
**[12:28] Allam**
Why?
**[12:29] Allam**
I can practice.
**[12:30] Yuuri**
Aram, it isn't that easy.
**[12:34] Yuuri**
You need strong bonds
with your allies to pull it off.
**[12:39] Allam**
Bonds?
**[12:40] Burkchardt**
You're wasting your time.
**[12:42] Allam**
What?!
**[12:43] Burkchardt**
You understand nothing of battle.
**[12:46] Burkchardt**
You just fight mindlessly,
thinking of no-one but yourself.
**[12:50] Allam**
What? I have my own way of fighting—
**[12:53] Burkchardt**
And I'm telling you it's all wrong.
**[12:55] Burkchardt**
What exactly are you, anyway?
**[12:57] Burkchardt**
I don't know how you did it,
but you stole my mana.
**[13:01] Allam**
S-So what?
**[13:03] Burkchardt**
Humans shouldn't be capable of
meddling with others' mana.
**[13:07] Burkchardt**
There's too much about you we don't know.
**[13:09] Allam**
Shut up!
**[13:10] Allam**
You're just jealous that you can't do it!
**[13:13] Burkchardt**
This is getting nowhere.
**[13:14] Burkchardt**
It's clearly a waste of time trying to
explain things to a feral brat like you.
**[13:18] Allam**
I'm not here because I want to be!
**[13:21] Allam**
If you don't want me around, I'll just leave.
**[13:23] Allam**
I'll become stronger my own way!
**[13:26] Yuuri**
Aram!
**[13:27] Burkchardt**
Let him go.
**[13:29] Burkchardt**
Don't be so undisciplined as to
allow that fool to have his way.
**[13:33] Burkchardt**
Why do you not realize that
being so soft only makes you weak?
**[13:37] Yuuri**
Aram has potential.
**[13:40] Burkchardt**
Do you honestly believe that?
**[13:43] Yuuri**
That's why I brought him all the way here.
**[13:46] Yuuri**
He'll make a good soldier.
**[13:54] Wayne**
Looks like the boss has appeared.
**[14:05] Allam**
Dammit.
**[14:08] Kain**
Not this fog again!
**[14:10] Michidia**
Let's go again.
**[14:10] Marina**
The fog just gets thicker.
**[14:13] Marina**
I can't...
**[14:18] Kain**
Captain!
**[14:21] Yuuri**
D-Don't worry. I'm fine.
**[14:24] Burkchardt**
Protect Her Highness!
**[14:34] Yuuri**
*Aram, hear me out.*
**[14:37] (Flashback) Yuuri**
When I lost to the Black King,
I also lost faith in myself.
**[14:42] (Flashback) Yuuri**
But seeing you fight
so desperately in that village
**[14:46] (Flashback) Yuuri**
reminded me of something important.
**[14:50] (Flashback) Yuuri**
I had sworn I would never give up,
no matter what.
**[14:56] (Flashback) Allam**
Wh-What's any of this got to do with me?
**[14:59] (Flashback) Yuuri**
When I came to, my friends were at my side.
**[15:04] (Flashback) Yuuri**
They'd supported me.
They never gave up on me.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Yuuri**
Some obstacles can't be overcome alone.
They require a little help from your friends.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Yuuri**
That is the power of bonds.
**[15:15] (Flashback) Yuuri**
Aram, you are indeed strong.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Yuuri**
You're better at using mana than anyone else.
**[15:23] (Flashback) Yuuri**
But, with bonds of friendship,
you can become even stronger.
**[15:31] (Flashback) Yuuri**
Let us fight together.
**[15:40] Allam**
You idiot.
**[15:45] Marina**
We can't hold out any longer.
**[15:47] Michidia**
We have to!
**[15:51] Yuriana**
Wayne!
**[15:52] Wayne**
Stay back, Your Highness.
**[15:54] Yuriana**
I can fight.
**[15:58] Burkchardt**
Your Highness!
**[16:11] Burkchardt**
Your Highness...
**[16:14] Kain**
Burckhardt!
**[16:27] Phoena**
Aram!
**[16:45] Kain**
Y-You've gotta be kidding me.
**[16:49] Michidia**
Amazing.
**[16:55] Allam**
Hey, take this!
**[17:10] Allam**
We're even now.
**[17:13] Yuriana**
Burckhardt!
**[17:15] Yuriana**
Let's end this.
**[17:17] ---**
As you wish!
**[17:34] Burkchardt**
Know your place!
**[17:58] Allam**
Whoa. He's pretty good.
**[18:02] Kain**
Look at you. Coming back to steal the show.
**[18:05] Yuuri**
Aram.
**[18:09] Allam**
I figured I might as well
stick around a bit longer.
**[18:14] Allam**
I want to see more of
your techniques in action.
**[18:17] Allam**
Besides...
**[18:18] Allam**
I want to make him eat his words.
**[18:25] Yuuri**
That's fine.
**[18:34] Yuuri**
Everyone, there's something I need to say.
**[18:37] Yuuri**
I lost to the Black King once.
**[18:41] Yuuri**
He said that destruction is
the fate that awaits this world.
**[18:47] Yuuri**
But, even if that's true,
I don't want to give up.
**[18:51] Yuuri**
As long as we live, there's hope.
**[18:55] Yuuri**
So I'd like to form
a Black King Suppression Squad,
**[19:02] Yuuri**
once more.
**[19:04] Yuriana**
A Black King Suppression Squad?
**[19:05] Yuriana**
That won't be enough.
**[19:07] Yuriana**
We'll gather troops from
every corner of the land
**[19:10] Yuriana**
and form a Black King Suppression *Army*.
**[19:14] Kain**
Yuri's back to his old self.
**[19:16] Kain**
That's my captain.
**[19:18] Michidia**
Someone thinks pretty highly of himself.
**[19:22] Phoena**
Yuri, I'm so glad.
**[19:27] Yuuri**
Aram.
**[19:32] Allam**
All right, fine.
**[19:39] Yuuri**
Aram, your arm.
**[19:53] Yuriana**
You should give him a chance.
**[19:55] Yuriana**
He returned your mana, after all.
**[19:59] Burkchardt**
Excuse me.
**[20:02] Yuriana**
Sheesh.
**[20:17] Yuriana**
Burckhardt!
**[20:19] Yuriana**
Burckhardt!
