Why do you fight so hard for a
master who treats you like pawns?
**[02:59] No. 6**
This is...
**[03:01] No. 8**

**[04:10] Zen**
Welcome, new Hero...
**[04:17] Sign**
Acquired Item: Holy Sword Gjallarhorn
**[04:20] Satou**
Hey, Master Sorcerer...
**[04:22] Satou**
Or would you rather I call
you the No Life King?
**[04:27] Satou**
What exactly do you want?
**[04:29] Zen**
My wish, eh?
**[04:32] Zen**
To discover a Hero who
might be able to kill me.
**[04:36] Zen**
In my past life, I met an end at
the hands of unjust brutality,
**[04:40] Zen**
and God saw it fit to
reincarnate me as an infant.
**[04:45] Zen**
Having been reborn with respectable parents,
**[04:49] Zen**
and encountering a companion who
was frankly too good for me...
**[04:54] Zen**
For a time I thought all was fine...
**[04:57] Zen**
I was foolish enough to think my new
life would meet a different end.
**[05:03] Zen**
And then, a noble who had fallen
for my wife imprisoned me
**[05:07] ---**
and executed me on false pretenses.
**[05:10] Zen**
The vision that God bestowed upon me...
**[05:15] Zen**
was the heads of every last member of my
family, strewn about the castle's grounds.
**[05:21] Zen**
And beneath the stand, lay the corpse of my wife, like some kind of broken doll.
**[05:31] Zen**
I turned the remains of my family,
**[05:34] ---**
and any others who met
their ends there into undead,
**[05:38] Zen**
baring my teeth against that family,
**[05:41] ---**
who was said to be so resilient
in armed conflict....
**[05:46] Zen**
Having accomplished my revenge,
**[05:48] ---**
I sought a means to end
my life and rejoin my wife...
**[05:52] Zen**
But God's blessing would not allow me to.
**[05:56] Zen**
Neither Turn Undead or the
Holy Sword had any effect.
**[06:04] Zen**
After all, I had become the
immortal king of the night.
**[06:08] Zen**
God, in his wisdom,
**[06:10] ---**
had granted me an undying
body that needed nothing.
**[06:13] Zen**
The power to strike back against
all unjust displays of power.
**[06:17] Zen**
Now, "Hero," I've told you all I must...
**[06:21] Zen**
Please strike me down before I become
a Demon Lord in spirit, as well!
**[06:27] (Flashback) Homunclus**
Our Master's desire...
please make it come true.
**[06:46] Zen**
You have my gratitude.
**[06:55] Zen**
Ena, my love...
**[06:59] Zen**
Liltiena, my better half...
**[07:00] Zen**
This time, I'll be joining you...

**[08:06] Mia**
I can try.
**[08:11] Mia**
Can't do it.
**[08:12] Satou**
You gave up fast!
**[08:17] Satou**
*There!*
**[08:19] Mia**
Satou?
**[08:20] Satou**
Oh, sorry. It's okay.
**[08:23] Satou**
We can still escape.

**[08:29] Satou**
*There's a method of escape set for her.*
**[08:34] Satou**
* But... every other function*
* seems to be blocked out...*
**[08:38] Satou**
* If I stick close to her,*
* I should be able to warp out with her...*
**[08:42] Satou**
* But then what happens to*
* the homunculi down below?*
**[08:46] Satou**
* And I wouldn't be able to save No. 7,*
* who's even further down, then...*
**[09:00] Satou**
Mia, listen to me.
**[09:02] Satou**
There's one more person I need to help.
**[09:04] Mia**
Satou...
**[09:05] Satou**
It's okay.
I won't die or anything. I promise.
**[09:09] Mia**
It's a promise!
You have to keep it, no matter what!
**[09:13] Satou**
Yeah, I will make it back alive!

**[10:00] Satou**
Are you there?!
**[10:00] Dryad**
Right here!
**[10:02] Satou**
Can you move us outside of the tree?
**[10:03] Dryad**
Hup...
**[10:05] Dryad**
If you give me some seeds and magic,
**[10:08] Dryad**
I should be able to send you to a
hollow in a tree in the basin!
**[10:11] Satou**
Seeds?
**[10:14] Satou**
Any seed will do?

Any kind of plant seed, yes.

Used Item: Nuts and Berries
**[10:20] Satou**
If this works, then take it!

You might dry all the way up...

**[10:28] Satou**
It won't be an issue. Please!
**[10:30] Dryad**
'Kay!
**[10:32] Dryad**
Smooch!
**[10:38] Dryad**
Looks like I made the connection.
**[10:40] Dryad**
Now, let's go!
**[10:49] Satou**
Thank you.
**[10:50] Dryad**
No problem.
**[10:51] Dryad**
Especially since I got all that MP.
**[10:54] Dryad**
That said, don't we need to run?
**[10:56] Satou**
Run?
**[10:59] Satou**
*A tidal wave of salt...*
**[11:06] Satou**
Let's go.

I can use something to break the waves...
**[11:44] Satou**
*I know, a wall!*
**[11:47] (Flashback) Tama**
The kettle's mad?
**[11:49] (Flashback) Pochi**
The kettle person's upset!
**[11:51] Pochi**
*What am I thinking about?!*
**[11:53] Pochi**
* This is no time to have my*
* life flash before my eyes!*

Master!
**[13:36] Tama**
Welcome back!
**[13:38] Pochi**
Yes!
**[13:40] Satou**
Good to be back. Sorry to worry you all.
**[13:43] Pochi**
We really were worried!
**[13:45] Tama**
No scratches?
**[13:46] Lulu**
Welcome back, sir.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Zen**
You have my gratitude.
**[13:59] (Flashback) Zen**
If the reincarnated whom you
travel with is precious to you,
**[14:04] (Flashback) Zen**
have her show restraint in using
the God-given power she wields.
**[14:09] (Flashback) Zen**
It is too much for any mortal.
Do not let her end up as I did.
**[14:18] Arisa**
I was so worried! Promise you won't
do anything crazy like that again!
**[14:24] Satou**
Sorry, Arisa.
**[14:35] Satou**
I'm sorry, everyone... and thank you.
**[14:43] Satou**
Manager...
**[14:44] Satou**
It's all over.
**[14:52] Mia**
You kept your promise.
**[14:54] Satou**
Of course. How could I not?
**[14:56] Mia**
I want to officially thank you...
**[15:02] Mia**
I am the youngest elf in the Bolenan Forest,

Not only did you spare our lives,
despite being your enemies,
**[15:37] 1**
but you also rescued No. 7 from death,
**[15:42] 1**
I can not thank you enough.
**[15:45] No. 7**
But... what of Master?
**[15:47] Satou**
He's passed on.
**[15:55] 1**
Master Satou, we will now
obey you, our new master.
**[16:02] Satou**
Uh, hang on a sec...
**[16:03] No. 1**
But before we are able to stand at
your side, we will need some time.
**[16:09] No. 1**
We need to deliver our former master
Zen's wedding ring to his wife's grave.
**[16:14] Satou**
Oh, I don't mind that at all.
**[16:17] No 1.**
That being said, we'd like
you to appoint one of our numbers
**[16:21] ---**
to remain at your side, in the meantime.
**[16:23] Satou**
I don't mind if all of you
look for her resting place.
**[16:26] NO 1**
No, sir, we couldn't do such a thing.
**[16:29] Satou**
I'll let you all decide
amongst yourselves, then.
**[16:32] No 1**
Scissors!
**[16:34] No 2**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[16:36] No 2**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[16:37] Satou**
This is becoming somewhat surreal.
**[16:38] No 2**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[16:40] No 2**
Scissors!
**[16:41] Nana**
Master, I bid you greetings and I look
forward to the pleasure of working with you.
**[16:45] Satou**
Okay, welcome aboard.

What is it?
**[17:05] Mia**
Wanna go home.
**[17:06] Yuya**
I'll take you there.
**[17:08] Mia**
That's okay.
**[17:09] Yuya**
Are you gonna be okay?
**[17:10] Mia**
I'll go with Satou.

Makes sense.

That's what the group of six swordsmen
who saved me told me of it, anyway.
**[17:31] Satou**
*I made that part up, though.*
**[17:38] Zena**
S-Satou-san! Are you all right?!
**[17:42] Satou**
Zena-san. Sorry to have worried you.
**[17:55] Zena**
Since I heard you were taken,
**[17:58] ---**
I've been overwhelmed with the
desire to go search for you...
**[18:01] Zena**
I'm sorry. I'm acting like a child.
**[18:04] Satou**
It's fine. I really am
sorry for worrying you so.
**[18:09] Satou**
Oh, yeah. There's something
that I wanted give you
**[18:12] ---**
before we were interrupted
by monsters the other day.

Thank you so much!

Zena-san.
**[18:26] Zena**
Y-Yes?!
**[18:27] Satou**
Let's see...
**[18:28] Satou**
I accepted the job of transporting
the elf child
**[18:33] ---**
who was kidnapped with me back to her home.
**[18:38] Zena**
The elf village...
**[18:40] Satou**
It's to the southeast of the Shiga Kingdom.
**[18:42] Zena**
D-Do you not intend on
returning to Seiryuu City?
**[18:46] Satou**
It's not that.
**[18:48] Zena**
Thank goodness!
**[18:50] Satou**
But when I do get back,
**[18:52] ---**
I'll be sure to tell you plenty
of stories about my journey.
**[18:57] Zena**
Okay.
**[18:59] Zena**
It's a promise.
**[19:09] Liza**
Master, the packing seems to be complete.
**[19:12] Tama**
Smooth sailing!
**[19:14] Pochi**
It went perfectly!
**[19:16] Mia**
Satou.
**[19:17] Nadi**
I'm sorry that I wasn't able
to help you find a house.
**[19:22] Satou**
Oh, it's fine. Your assistance in procuring
this cart was a huge help in itself.
**[19:27] Yuya**
Look after Mia.
**[19:29] Satou**
Right. Leave her to me.
**[19:30] Mom**
You be careful out there.
**[19:33] Mom**
I hear that other territories
are crawling with bandits.
**[19:36] Yuni**
Hang on!
**[19:40] Yuni**
This is for Pochi-chan and Tama-chan!
**[19:42] Tama**
Thanks, Yuni!
**[19:44] Pochi**
Thank you so much!
**[19:46] Pochi**
We'll be sure to enjoy the taste!
**[19:48] Uni**
You'll get a stomachache if you do.
**[19:50] Pochi**
Then we'll use it carefully!
**[20:12] Zena**
Satou-san!
**[20:18] Satou**
Zena-san?!
**[20:24] Zena**
I'm glad I made it in time.
**[20:26] Satou**
I'm glad I got to see you
before heading out, too.
**[20:30] Zena**
I've thought about this a long time...
**[20:33] Zena**
I can't be like Princess Liltiena,
**[20:37] ---**
who abandoned her family
to be with her beloved,
**[20:40] Zena**
so I won't ask you to take me with you.
**[20:45] Zena**
But this spring, my brother will be an
adult, and become head of the family.
**[20:50] Zena**
I've spoken to him and he's
agreed to let me do as I wish.
**[20:55] Zena**
So...
**[20:57] Zena**
when spring comes around...
**[21:13] (Flashback) Zena**
I'll join you, too.
**[21:19] Arisa**
Don't make that face.
**[21:20] Arisa**
You'll have us with you.
**[21:23] Tama**
Does your tummy hurt?
**[21:25] POchi**
Are you not feeling well?
**[21:26] Mia**
Satou?
**[21:29] Satou**
I'm okay.
**[21:30] Nana**
Master, the code library had a volume
that said that crying into a woman's chest
**[21:35] ---**
will make you feel better when you are sad.
**[21:36] Arisa**
H-Hey, that's cheating!
**[21:39] Arisa**
Lulu, do something!
**[21:40] Lulu**
No, Arisa. I have to focus on the
road when I'm driving the cart!
**[21:52] (Flashback) Voice**
Don't forget... we'll always be together.
