[00:06] Flio
That should do it.
[00:08] Flio
I put up a barrier around the house,
[00:10] Flio
so we'll know right away
if any demons come in.
[00:13] Fenrys
That's a relief.
[00:15] Fenrys
If that annoying cat comes here again,
[00:17] Fenrys
I'll send her back myself this time.
[00:21] (Flashback) Uliminas
I'm comin' for mew!
[00:23] (Flashback) Uliminas
Meow!
[00:25] Fenrys
Argh! Just remembering her is making me mad!
[00:29] Flio
Take it easy, Rys.
[00:30] Fenrys
You're awfully nice to her after
she attacked us like that.
[00:36] Flio
I'm not being nice or anything.
[00:40] Flio
I just...
[00:42] (Flashback) Uliminas
Fenrys! Surely mew are aware that
[00:45] (Flashback) Uliminas
this man is the one who wiped out your
brother, Fengaryl, and his forces!
[00:54] Fenrys
What's the matter?
[00:56] Flio
Oh, it's nothing.
[00:58] Fenrys
I see.
[01:02] Fenrys
Well, let's go home!
[01:04] Flio
S-Sure.

[02:41] Byleri
You're looking at your status screen again?
[02:44] Blossom
Man, talk about crazy.
[02:51] Blossom
I mean, I still can't believe I
have the Dragon Slayer title now.
[02:59] Belano
This is the legendary hoe that
removed the dragon's head.
[03:03] Blossom
C-Cut it out!
[03:05] Blossom
That makes it sound a lot less cool.
[03:09] Belano
Where are you going, Balirossa?
[03:11] Balirossa
To hunt today's share of magic beasts.
[03:20] Byleri
Balirossa is very self-disciplined,
going out to train like that every day.
[03:24] Blossom
Well, it's thanks to him that
I got this title, after all.
[03:27] Blossom
I gotta get stronger myself
so I can kill monsters
[03:31] Blossom
that are at least rank C, like her.
[03:34] Belano
I'll work hard, too.
[03:39] Balirossa
I...
[03:41] Balirossa
wanted that title, too!
[03:44] Balirossa
"Dragon Slayer" is a title
[03:46] Balirossa
so extraordinary that it's equivalent
to a random wanderer earning a peerage!
[03:51] Balirossa
It's every up-and-coming adventurer's dream!
[03:55] Balirossa
And now I've fallen behind!
[03:57] Balirossa
If only I'd gotten that title...
[04:01] Balirossa
I could've gotten back the
noble status my household lost,
[04:04] Balirossa
and my family might've even been invited
[04:06] Balirossa
to live in the capital again, like
when my father was a knight...
[04:14] Gholl
Pardon me.
[04:17] Gholl
I've come here because I heard that
an old friend of mine lives nearby.
[04:21] Gholl
Do you know this area?
[04:22] Balirossa
Who is he?
[04:23] Balirossa
He's so lightly equipped in a
forest full of magic beasts...
[04:27] Balirossa
Yes, I know it well.
[04:29] Balirossa
Would your old friend happen to be Sir Flio?
[04:33] Balirossa
Or is it, perhaps, his wife?
[04:36] Gholl
It is his wife.
[04:38] Balirossa
Ah. Is it, now?
[04:41] Balirossa
That must mean...
[04:42] Balirossa
You're with the Dark Army.
[04:47] Balirossa
What do you want from a woman
who's cut ties with the Dark Army?
[04:50] Balirossa
Depending on your answer,
you may be facing me in battle.
[04:55] Gholl
I am indeed a part of the Dark Army,
[04:58] Gholl
but I'm only here today to check
on her. I bear no ill will.
[05:03] Gholl
I will take my leave.
[05:10] Balirossa
In that case...
[05:11] Balirossa
I will turn back, as well.
[05:14] Gholl
Please give Fenrys a message for me.
[05:16] Gholl
Ask if she would like to chat
about the past over tea sometime.
[05:20] Balirossa
Understood.
[05:22] Balirossa
My name is Balirossa. What is yours?
[05:27] Gholl
Ghozal.
[05:31] Balirossa
Ghozal? What a strange name.
[05:35] Flio
Hey! Balirossa!
[05:38] Flio
Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?
[05:40] Balirossa
I-I'm fine. A member of the
Dark Army was just here.
[05:44] Balirossa
His name was Ghozal.
[05:45] Fenrys
Ghozal?
[05:49] Fenrys
Honestly... If he had to use a fake name,
couldn't he have picked a better one?
[05:54] Balirossa
Fake?
[05:55] Flio
We came because the barrier caught
something, and what we saw shocked us.
[05:59] Flio
You were...
[06:04] Flio
talking to someone whose status screen
displayed the title "Dark One"!
[06:07] Balirossa
What?
[06:11] Balirossa
Y-Y-You're joking, right?
[06:13] Fenrys
Why would we lie about that?
[06:16] Fenrys
That was definitely the Dark One.
[06:18] Fenrys
His real name is Gholl.
[06:20] Balirossa
I-I just raised my sword
against... th-the Dark One...
[06:25] Balirossa
Y-Yikes... I'm going to be killed!
SIGN The Next Day
[06:31] Fenrys
You really did come here?
[06:33] Gholl
It's been a long time, Fenrys.
[06:36] Flio
My name is Flio.
[06:38] Flio
You're... Ghozal, right?
[06:41] Gholl
Yes.
[06:41] Flio
Please, come inside.
[06:44] Gholl
How is he so completely calm in my presence?
[06:49] Balirossa
Lady Rys, I'm going to hang up the laundr—
[06:58] Gholl
I hear...
[07:01] Gholl
you hosted my subordinate recently.
[07:04] Balirossa
Why am I included in this?!
[07:06] Balirossa
And right next to him?!
[07:09] Fenrys
And what brings you here?
[07:12] Fenrys
To try to get revenge?
[07:14] Flio
Rys...
[07:16] Balirossa
My back's given out! I can't stand up!
[07:19] Gholl
I dislike beating around the bush.
[07:22] Gholl
Flio, would you care to join the Dark Army?
[07:25] Flio
What? Me?
[07:30] Flio
I must decline.
[07:31] Gholl
Even after I have personally invited you?
[07:34] Gholl
But King Klyrode must desire
your power more than anything.
[07:40] Gholl
Why do you live in hiding
here, rather than serve him?
[07:43] Flio
I don't think it makes sense for me to side
with humanity just because I'm human.
[07:49] Flio
Also, I'm not from this world,
[07:52] Flio
so I don't even know why you
people are fighting this war.
[07:57] Gholl
No one has explained it to you?
[07:59] Fenrys
My husband does not wish to fight.
[08:02] Fenrys
So what reason is there to talk about it?
[08:05] Gholl
I see. The reason for the war, eh?
[08:09] Gholl
It is unlikely anyone exists who
knows the true reason we fight.
[08:15] Gholl
The war between humans and demons
has persisted for 500 years,
[08:19] Gholl
since the first Dark One's ascent.
[08:23] Gholl
For 500 years?
[08:25] Gholl
Yes.
[08:26] Gholl
The first Dark One came here from another
world to try to take over this one.
[08:31] Flio
From another world?
[08:33] Gholl
He was accepted by demons who, at the
time, were being oppressed by humans.
[08:39] Gholl
Thus the war broke out between
demons who accepted a foreign ruler
[08:41] Gholl
and the humans who had
rejected him, or so they say.
[08:45] Fenrys
Were you listening to anything I said?
[08:48] Fenrys
Why did you just explain all
that like it was natural?
[08:50] Gholl
The longer a war drags on, the
more ill will accumulates.
[08:56] Gholl
It will not be easy to stop it now.
[08:59] Flio
Do you personally wish
to stop the war, Ghozal?
[09:06] Gholl
After twelve generations of
Dark Ones, ideologies change.
[09:10] Gholl
I, the current Dark One,
have no interest in ruling the world.
[09:15] Gholl
But...
[09:20] Gholl
I am the king of demons.
[09:22] Gholl
I cannot allow one who poses
such a threat to the demons
[09:25] Gholl
to fall into the hands of the humans!
[09:31] Gholl
Flio, take my advice.
[09:35] Gholl
Join me.
[09:36] Flio
You overestimate me.
[09:38] Flio
Besides, I have no intention of siding
exclusively with either humans or demons.
[09:56] Gholl
How headstrong you are!
[09:58] Gholl
And it was this obstinance that led you
to reject the king's offer, was it?
[10:03] Flio
I'm glad you're so quick to understand.
[10:07] Gholl
This doesn't mean that I've given up.
[10:10] Gholl
I will be back.
[10:12] Gholl
To think there could be a human who
is entirely unfazed by my presence,
[10:16] Gholl
and one in addition to Flio, no less.
[10:20] Gholl
What an interesting woman.
[10:28] Blossom
Balirossa? You okay?
[10:31] Balirossa
Why is this happening to me?
[10:39] Balirossa
Oh, right...
[10:41] Balirossa
I went to bed after that yesterday,
and stayed there.
[10:45] Balirossa
I shouldn't have done that to all of them.
[10:48] Balirossa
I apologize for last night, everyone.
[10:50] Blossom
B-Balirossa...
[10:53] Flio
Morning.
[10:55] Gholl
Ah!
[10:56] Gholl
If it isn't Balirossa!
[10:59] Gholl
I was just enjoying some breakfast.
[11:02] Gholl
Fenrys's cooking is quite delicious!
[11:05] Fenrys
Please leave as soon as you've
finished that, all right?
[11:09] Fenrys
My husband won't change his mind,
[11:11] Fenrys
and besides, when visiting someone's home,
you're supposed to avoid meal times!
[11:16] Flio
Easy, now, Rys.
[11:18] Gholl
What is it? Come on over.
[11:20] Balirossa
N-N-N-Not when I'm dressed like this!
[11:22] Balirossa
P-P-P-Pardon me!
[11:25] Gholl
Oh? She has quite the modest side, I see.
[11:42] Gholl
If it isn't Balirossa.
[11:45] Gholl
I wished to speak with you.
[11:47] Balirossa
I-I-I-I-I...
[11:48] Balirossa
I must get to my sword training!
[11:54] Gholl
Ah, if it isn't Balirossa.
[11:57] Balirossa
I-I must go to the river to wash my clothes!
[12:13] Balirossa
I must go collect firewood!
[12:15] Balirossa
Oh? She is quite the hard worker.
[12:21] King
A demon has been frequently visiting
the home of that adventurer?
[12:25] Soldier1
Yes, sire.
[12:26] Soldier1
According to reports from our spy,
[12:29] Soldier1
a suspicious man who frequently
visits the adventurer Flio's home
[12:32] Soldier1
was seen vanishing into the
demons' territory multiple times.
[12:37] King
He dares to ignore my summons over and over,
[12:42] King
and instead sides with the Dark Army?!
[12:46] King
Well, then, I will send soldiers to—
[12:48] Princess
Please wait, Father.
[12:51] Princess
We are not yet certain that he has
joined forces with the Dark Army.
[12:55] Princess
If you send soldiers now,
[12:57] Princess
it may upset Sir Flio and drive
him to join the Dark Army.
[13:02] Princess
I think it would be better to
have a conversation with him.
[13:04] King
A conversation?
[13:06] Princess
Yes.
[13:07] Princess
Rather than simply summon Sir Flio,
[13:09] Princess
you must listen to what
he has to say, as well.
[13:12] Princess
What's important is to compromise
and reach an understanding.
[13:16] King
Be silent, first princess!
[13:19] King
Do you think these ideals of yours
[13:21] King
are enough to keep a nation running? Please!
[13:24] Princess
But...
[13:25] Golden-Haired Hero
What's all this grumbling about?
[13:28] Princess
Hero...
[13:29] King
Ah! You've left your fortress
in the south to visit us?
[13:33] Golden-Haired Hero
Give me soldiers.
[13:36] Golden-Haired
If he won't obey your demands
willingly, then make him obey!
[13:44] Uliminas
Dark One, where are mew going?
[13:47] Gholl
To that man's home.
[13:49] Uliminas
But mew know it's dangerous
to keep going there alone.
[13:52] Gholl
Dangerous?
[13:54] Gholl
He was far more understanding than a
certain king who won't even listen.
[14:00] Gholl
If I have a chance to win him
over, I should. Do you not agree?
[14:04] Uliminas
Y-Yes, I agree with mew,
[14:07] Uliminas
but everyone here is awaiting your orders.
[14:10] Gholl
I am considering the best
time to move our troops.
[14:15] Uliminas
There are nyow some among our
ranks who speak ill of Lord Gholl
[14:19] Uliminas
for visiting that man so frequently.
[14:22] Uliminas
All to win him over...
[14:24] Uliminas
Is that really all mew are after, Lord Gholl?
[14:32] Fenrys
What are you up to, Darling?
[14:36] Flio
Actually, I've been thinking of selling
gear made of dragon scales in town,
[14:40] Flio
and I'm working on a prototype.
[14:42] Fenrys
Oh! It looks like it turned out wonderfully!
[14:45] Flio
I need to go through more trial and
error to produce one worth selling.
[14:49] Flio
I want to make this business successful
so we can support ourselves.
[14:58] Fenrys
Darling, are you sure that was right?
[15:02] Flio
What was right?
[15:03] Fenrys
If you worked for the
hero as the king ordered,
[15:06] Fenrys
you'd be earning rewards far
greater than you are now.
[15:12] Fenrys
You could have used your
abilities to the fullest, too.
[15:18] Fenrys
Could it be that you chose not to
fight the Dark Army because of me?
[15:24] Flio
It's not that.
[15:26] Fenrys
Really?
[15:28] Fenrys
Since you're so kind, I thought
perhaps you were worried about that.
[15:32] Flio
I'm not nearly as kind
as you imagine me to be.
[15:37] Flio
It's just...
[15:39] Flio
Now that I know I have such incredible power,
[15:43] Flio
I'd rather not fight anyone
if I don't have to.
[15:48] Fenrys
That's what people call being kind, you know.
[15:51] Fenrys
I admire that part of you
just as much as the rest.
[15:58] Flio
Rys...
[16:02] Fenrys
I bet that's Ghozal again.
[16:04] Flio
But the barrier didn't detect any demons...
[16:07] Byleri
S-Sir Flio!
[16:12] Golden-Haired Hero
So you are the adventurer Flio?
[16:15] Flio
Yes...
[16:16] Golden-Haired Hero
I know exactly what you're up to.
[16:20] Fenrys
Darling, shall I kick him to the curb?
[16:23] Flio
No, it's all right.
[16:25] Golden-Haired Hero
I hear you've been in
contact with the Dark Army.
[16:28] Golden-Haired Hero
I'll give you a choice.
[16:30] Golden-Haired Hero
You become my subordinate and set
out to defeat the Dark One...
[16:35] Golden-Haired Hero
Or!
[16:40] Golden-Haired Hero
I determine you to be a Dark Army
informant and cut you down right here!
[16:49] Golden-Haired Hero
Nailed it!
[16:50] Golden-Haired Hero
That's gonna make the top three
best climax scenes of my life!
[16:56] Golden-Haired Hero
Ah, so overwhelmed by my aura
that you can't even speak, eh?
[17:00] Golden-Haired Hero
Well, no helping that.
[17:02] Golden-Haired Hero
Soon enough, I will become a true hero,
[17:05] Golden-Haired Hero
as well as a legend of this world!
[17:08] Golden-Haired Hero
All I need to do is defeat the Dark
One with him as my subordinate!
[17:13] Flio
Well, that's a problem.
I don't want to choose either.
[17:16] Golden-Haired Hero
What?
[17:17] Flio
I'm sorry to say so after you
brought all these people here,
[17:22] Flio
but I have no intention of siding
with either you or the Dark Army.
[17:26] Golden-Haired
Uh-huh.
[17:30] Golden-Haired Hero
So you choose to die a traitor
who betrayed his kingdom?
[17:34] Flio
No, what I said was...
[17:35] Balirossa
This is tyranny, Hero!
[17:37] Blossom
That's right! Listen to
what we have to say, too!
[17:41] Byleri
Sir Flio is not a traitor!
[17:46] Golden-Haired Hero
I had heard some people
were working with this guy.
[17:49] Golden-Haired Hero
You must be those people.
[17:53] Golden-Haired Hero
I could arrest all of
you for treason, as well,
[17:57] Golden-Haired Hero
but I'll let this slide.
However, in return...
[17:59] Golden-Haired Hero
You must assist me in convincing this man.
[18:07] Flio
No way out of this.
[18:09] Flio
I can't cause trouble for
Balirossa and the other knights.
[18:13] Fenrys
What are you going to do, Darling?
[18:19] Flio
I can't choose either option,
and I don't want to fight here,
[18:23] Flio
so we'll go somewhere else.
[18:25] Flio
Is that okay, Rys?
[18:27] Fenrys
Yes! I'll go with you, Darling!
[18:31] Golden-Haired Hero
What?!
[18:32] Balirossa
Sir Flio, allow us to accompany you, as well.
[18:36] Flio
Huh? But you guys are...
[18:38] Balirossa
We have been taught since we were children
[18:40] Balirossa
that demons were enemies
that had to be defeated.
[18:43] Balirossa
But while living with you and Lady Rys,
[18:47] Balirossa
we have begun to doubt that.
[18:50] Balirossa
Is fighting them really
the right thing to do?
[18:56] Balirossa
Worse yet,
[18:57] Balirossa
if I were to shamelessly follow someone
who threatens innocent citizens,
[19:00] Balirossa
I could never face my father,
a once-brilliant knight!
[19:04] Blossom
Balirossa's right!
[19:06] Byleri
Please take us with you!
[19:08] Belano
Please.
[19:10] Golden-Haired Hero
What are you saying?! You think
you can escape this encirclement?!
[19:14] Flio
Fine.
[19:15] Golden-Haired Hero
Eh?!
[19:16] Golden-Haired Hero
L-L-L-Learn your place!
[19:18] Flio
Teleportation!
[19:24] Golden-Haired Hero
Give me a break!
[19:26] Golden-Haired Hero
A maggot like you can use
a spell that I can't?!
[19:40] Soldier3
Th-They disappeared?
[19:42] Soldier4
The house and fields, too...
[19:43] Soldier5
It can't be! How can he use
Teleportation on this scale?!
[19:48] Soldier6
Hero!
[19:50] Golden-Haired Hero
What is it?!
[19:51] Soldier6
That man there is the demon who was
making contact with Adventurer Flio!
[19:55] Golden-Haired Hero
What?! G-Get him!
[19:58] Gholl
The house...
[20:01] Gholl
I see. This must be your doing.
[20:16] Gholl
It appears I will have to teach you a lesson!
[20:21] Gholl
All forces, hear me!
[20:23] Gholl
Assemble and launch an all-out attack
on the Magical Kingdom of Klyrode!
[20:28] Gholl
Show them what we demons are capable of!
[20:34] Uliminas
Seems like all of mew heard
the Dark One's voice!
[20:37] Uliminas
We have mew orders to mobilize!
[20:39] Uliminas
Don't mew dare fall behind!
[20:43] Soldier5
Th-That's...
[20:45] Golden-Haired Hero
Y-You gotta be kidding me!
[20:47] Golden-Haired Hero
Retreat! Retreat!
[20:49] Soldier6
W-Wait for us!
[21:02] Blossom
This is incredible!
[21:07] Byleri
The house and fields are just like they were!
[21:10] Belano
Where are we?
[21:11] Flio
Near a town called Houghtow to
the west of the royal capital.
[21:15] Flio
I came here to sell some dragon
materials not long ago.
[21:18] Blossom
Wow... We're pretty far
from the capital, huh?
[21:23] Byleri
Now neither the hero nor the
Dark One will be able to find us!
[21:30] Balirossa
Wh-What a relief.
[21:32] Blossom
Lucky break, huh? He seemed really into you.
[21:36] Flio
Sorry for putting you through all that, Rys.
[21:40] Fenrys
It's not your fault, Darling.
[21:43] Fenrys
Besides, as long as I get to stay with you,
[21:47] Fenrys
I'm happy to go anywhere at all.
[21:50] Flio
Thanks.
[21:51] Fenrys
I'm your wife. Why wouldn't I?
[21:54] Fenrys
Now, let's have dinner!
[21:56] Fenrys
I'm going to make a feast
to celebrate our relocation!
[22:00] Byleri
Wow, I can't wait!
[22:02] Balirossa
I'll help you!
[22:04] Blossom
Man, I'm starving!
[22:06] Belano
Me, too.
[23:40] Balirossa
I wanted that title, too!
[23:43] Flio
Still can't forget that, huh?
[23:44] Balirossa as Gholl
You should be able to
earn a title, Balirossa.
[23:46] Balirossa
Huh?
[23:47] Balirossa as Gholl
