[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.
SIGN    An Unexpected Visitor
[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
    "Dark One Killer." You know,
    like how they say "old man killer."
[23:50] Balirossa as Gholl
    Once you've charmed the Dark One,
    you're a Dark One Killer!
[23:52] Flio
    You're the strongest of all, Balirossa!
[23:53] Balirossa
    S-Stop it!
[23:55] Balirossa as Gholl
    Next time, "Until My Life Ends."
SIGN    Next Time
SIGN    Until My Life Ends
[23:57] Balirossa as Gholl
    Look forward to it!
