[00:01] KUNAI
    Idjit Republic?
[00:03] KUNAI
    Is that really what the nation's called?
[00:05] MIKAN
    Can't say I dislike the honesty.
[00:08] MIKAN
    You complain too much, you know?
[00:10] KUNAI
    And what's the town's name?
[00:13] KUNAI
    Please don't tell me it's Conan.
[00:15] MIKAN
    Rookie. That's where the Prison Labyrinth is.
[00:19] KUNAI
    Rookie, huh? I take it beginners
    flock to this place.
[00:24] KUNAI
    By the way, Mikan.
[00:25] KUNAI
    Why is Yukikaze lying on my lap?
[00:28] MIKAN
    Don't ask me. I'm not the mom here.
[00:30] MIKAN
    Besides, you're the one who asked us to
    join you in your search for magical items!
[00:34] MIKAN
    Then bear with...
[00:38] MIKAN
    You saw?
[00:41] KUNAI
    The only thing my eyes see
    is the open, vast skies.
[00:45] MIKAN
    Quit with the random asides!
[00:46] MIKAN
    You had the eyes of a man
    of culture for a sec!
[00:49] KUNAI
    Well, twilight forms part of the sky.
[00:52] MIKAN
    You even got the color right!
[00:54] KUNAI
    I'm talking about the sky.
[00:57] KUNAI
    What are you even on about?
[00:59] MIKAN
    Why am I surrounded by these people?!
[01:03] YUKIKAZE
    Mmm, your knee is rock hard, mister.
[01:07] KUNAI
    Stop babbling and lick on this.
[01:10] AKIRA
    Ice Candy.
SIGN    Ice Candy
[01:11] AKIRA
    It's a trash item that only recovers 7 MP.
[01:14] AKIRA
    But in this scorching hot
    land, it is a luxury item.
[01:18] YUKIKAZE
    Your stick tastes sweet. I
    want to lick it some more.
[01:19] MIKAN
    Can I leave now?!
[01:22] KUNAI
    Anyway, "Prison Labyrinth"
    is a rather foreboding name.
[01:26] YUKIKAZE
    It has a gaol deep underground.
[01:30] KUNAI
    Oh? So it was originally a facility
    to keep something imprisoned?
[01:34] YUKIKAZE
    Who knows?
[01:35] YUKIKAZE
    Do you prefer to play the
    jailer? Or the prisoner?
[01:38] KUNAI
    Neither. I dislike the very
    concept of entrapment.
[01:43] YUKIKAZE
    You're so cool, mister.
[01:45] MIKAN
    Yeah, right. Listen to yourself.
[01:47] MIKAN
    You're one to talk when
    you've got us trapped here.
[01:49] YUKIKAZE
    Mikan prefers to be on the receiving end.
[01:51] YUKIKAZE
    She's into candle wax, too.
[01:53] KUNAI
    Oh? Far be it from me to meddle
    in one's fetishes, but...
[01:56] KUNAI
    Don't go overboard.
[01:57] MIKAN
    These idiots...
[01:59] MIKAN
    I'm so done with them!
SIGN    Episode 3
[03:34] KUNAI
    So this here is Rookie, huh?
[03:36] KUNAI
    Seems pretty prosperous, don't you think?
[03:38] MIKAN
    Adventurers who earn big bucks in the
    labyrinth pay taxes here, after all.
[03:43] MIKAN
    Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not
    trying to fill you in or anything.
[03:46] MIKAN
    I'm just talking to myself.
[03:48] KUNAI
    I appreciate it.
[03:50] KUNAI
    I like people who make
    up for the things I lack.
[03:54] MIKAN
    I don't want you to like me.
    Talking to myself again there.
[03:58] KUNAI
    That's too bad.
[03:59] KUNAI
    I was going to invite you to the
    salt mikan bath as thanks for today.
[04:03] MIKAN
    What? That sounds cool!
[04:04] MIKAN
    Oh, just talking to myself again.
[04:07] YUKIKAZE
    Mikan likes mikan.
[04:09] YUKIKAZE
    She likes playing with herself.
    You know what that means.
[04:12] MIKAN
    Shut up, Yukikaze!
[04:14] VILLAGERS
    Hey, the hero came back this year!
[04:17] KUNAI
    Hero? You have a hero?
[04:20] MIKAN
    Of course we do.
    How clueless are you?
[04:24] YUKIKAZE
    The Imperial State of
    Right has two Holy Braves.
[04:28] AKIRA
    Holy Braves?
[04:30] AKIRA
    Wow, that's kinda cool.
[04:32] VILLAGER A
    Sir Brave!
[04:33] VILLAGER B
    Look this way!
[04:34] VILLAGER C
    White... pure white!
[04:37] VILLAGER D
    He looks majestic riding his white steed.
[04:39] KUNAI
    Hmph, a hero riding a white horse?
[04:42] KUNAI
    How stereotypical...
[04:45] AKIRA
    Is he on his way back from Comiket?!
[04:48] KUNAI
    Please tell me it's "hero" and not "ero."
[04:52] MIKAN
    Sir Otamega is a hero through and through.
[04:55] KUNAI
    What an awful name.
[04:57] YUKIKAZE
    Sir Otamega is also known
    as the White Comet.
[05:01] AKIRA
    He's probably just pale from
    never leaving his room.
[05:04] YUKIKAZE
    The other Brave is known as the Red Devil.
[05:08] KUNAI
    You've got the colors mixed up!
[05:10] YUKIKAZE
    Sir Otamega has three aides,
[05:12] YUKIKAZE
    Artema, Mashroom, and
    Kaia: the White Tri-Stars.
[05:17] KUNAI
    Where do I even begin?!
[05:19] OTAMEGA
    Please line up and wait your turn.
[05:24] KUNAI
    Distributing food to the poor?
[05:27] KUNAI
    Does the Brave always do this?
[05:29] MIKAN
    Yeah, though he spends half the
    year traveling the northern lands.
[05:33] MIKAN
    He's really amazing.
[05:35] KUNAI
    Is it to build popularity?
[05:36] KUNAI
    Or are Braves duty-bound
    to perform such tasks?
[05:40] MIKAN
    How cynical are you?
[05:42] MIKAN
    Sir Otamega has been told to
    stop by the State of Right,
[05:45] MIKAN
    but he still feeds the kids out of pocket.
[05:50] YUKIKAZE
    I heard criticism that he meddles
    in foreign affairs to curry favor.
[05:55] KUNAI
    Oh?
[05:59] DONA
    Is that true?
[06:01] DONA
    The Demon Lord has left
    the village of Rabby?
[06:04] AZURE
    Yes, Lord Dona.
[06:05] AZURE
    He traveled north and is
    confirmed to have crossed the border.
[06:07] DONA
    Great. Send men to Rabby
    Village right away, then.
[06:11] DONA
    Let's see... Milligan should do perfectly.
[06:14] AZURE
    But didn't Holy Maiden Angel White
    forbid us from doing this?
[06:19] DONA
    She forbade making contact
    with the Demon Lord,
[06:22] DONA
    not investigating the
    village while he's away.
[06:29] DONA
    Have them investigate its treasures...
[06:31] DONA
    and see if it has any valuables like the
    musical box Madam Oysterfry won in auction.
[06:35] AZURE
    As you wish, sir.
[06:41] AZURE
    Milligan, did you kidnap
    another girl from the slums?
[06:45] MILLIGAN
    Don't glare at me like that, Azure.
[06:49] MILLIGAN
    I'm just having a little fun, y'know?
[06:52] MILLIGAN
    I'm not hurting her or anything.
[06:54] MILLIGAN
    'Cause she's long dead.
[06:56] AZURE
    I believe I warned you not to put
    Lord Dona's reputation at risk.
[06:59] MILLIGAN
    Don't be such a spoilsport.
[07:01] MILLIGAN
    I mean, Boss Dona messes
    around more than anyone.
[07:04] AZURE
    You have orders from Lord Dona.
[07:06] AZURE
    Head to Rabby Village on an investigation.
[07:09] MILLIGAN
    Hey, I finally get to play with the bunnies?
[07:12] MILLIGAN
    That's great news.
[07:14] AZURE
    Milligan, I said it's an investigation.
[07:16] MILLIGAN
    Boss Dona wouldn't be such a damp squib.
[07:19] MILLIGAN
    He's telling me to go have fun, right?
[07:22] AZURE
    It's an investigation.
[07:25] AZURE
    Please refrain from twisting his words.
[07:29] MILLIGAN
    Fine.
[07:30] MILLIGAN
    Yeesh. Such scary eyes.
[07:38] AZURE
    Bury her.
[07:41] AZURE
    With respect.
[07:42] SERVANT
    Sir.
[07:44] OTAMEGA
    Mister, what have you got tonight?
[07:47] SHOP
    Wheat porridge for three copper.
    Four if you don't have a bowl.
[07:51] OTAMEGA
    With the bowl, please.
[07:58] OTAMEGA
    The price has gone up since last year.
[08:00] OTAMEGA
    The fried potato, too.
[08:02] OTAMEGA
    The price has gone up two coppers,
    but the portion size has shrunk.
[08:05] KUNAI
    Oh? Is that so?
[08:07] OTAMEGA
    The oil is awful.
[08:09] OTAMEGA
    And this porridge is watery and has
    lost its savory taste.
[08:12] KUNAI
    You really pay attention to the details.
[08:16] OTAMEGA
    Not as much as you.
[08:18] KUNAI
    You're an intriguing guy.
[08:20] KUNAI
    Fake good deeds done
    are better than good deeds undone.
[08:23] OTAMEGA
    Fake, huh? I can't really argue that.
[08:26] KUNAI
    Don't misunderstand.
    I'm complimenting you.
[08:29] OTAMEGA
    I'm just doing what I want to do.
[08:33] KUNAI
    Are you attached to your ideals?
[08:36] OTAMEGA
    This is belated, but I'd
    like to know your objective.
[08:39] KUNAI
    I want you on my team.
[08:42] OTAMEGA
    I appreciate the offer,
[08:45] OTAMEGA
    but I find you terrifying.
[08:47] OTAMEGA
    To tell the truth, I haven't stopped
    trembling ever since I felt your gaze upon me.
[08:52] KUNAI
    Sorry about that.
[08:54] KUNAI
    I prefer to verify everything
    with my own eyes.
[08:58] OTAMEGA
    As do I.
[09:01] OTAMEGA
    Could you show yourself?
[09:03] KUNAI
    Dispel camouflage.
[09:07] KUNAI
    I'm developing Rabby Village right now.
[09:10] OTAMEGA
    I heard about it many a time
    on my travels...
[09:13] OTAMEGA
    that the Demon Lord had appeared
    in Kingdom of Holy Light.
[09:16] KUNAI
    You did?
[09:17] OTAMEGA
    In my memories, Rabby was a poor village,
[09:20] OTAMEGA
    and the bunnies lived
    highly impoverished lives.
[09:23] KUNAI
    That's all in the past now.
[09:26] KUNAI
    I'd like to have your support someday.
[09:30] KUNAI
    No, I will have it.
[09:33] OTAMEGA
    Phew. Could he be any more scary?
[09:38] LUNA
    They've grown bigger and
    more shapely than before.
[09:41] LUNA
    Now they're elegant carrots
    befitting of my village.
[09:44] ISAMI
    I don't think elegance
    has any bearing on food.
[09:48] LUNA
    Don't show up out of nowhere!
[09:50] LUNA
    You stalker!
[09:54] ISAMI
    Looks like a bumper crop. We could
    expand the farms at this rate.
[09:58] ISAMI
    Very impressive.
[09:59] LUNA
    S-So, when is he coming back?
[10:03] ISAMI
    Hm?
[10:03] LUNA
    Y-You know, him. Him.
[10:06] ISAMI
    Oh, you mean the chief?
[10:09] ISAMI
    Sheesh. First Yu, now you?
[10:13] LUNA
    Huh?
[10:13] ISAMI
    Well, I'll let him know you miss him.
[10:16] LUNA
    Wh-Why would I miss him?!
[10:19] ISAMI
    Yeah, yeah.
[10:21] MIKAN
    This is the entrance to the Prison Labyrinth.
[10:25] YUKIKAZE
    The labyrinth of love.
[10:27] YUKIKAZE
    Once you're trapped, you can never get out.
[10:30] MIKAN
    We'll get you in as our porter.
[10:33] KUNAI
    Me? Carry your stuff?
[10:35] YUKIKAZE
    You aren't registered as an adventurer.
[10:38] KUNAI
    Very well. Let's go with that.
[10:44] MIKAN
    You'd better carry the weight!
[10:46] MIKAN
    I'll teach you what being an adventurer is—
SIGN    lift...
[10:51] YUKIKAZE
    Why would he do her before me?
[10:54] MIKAN
    L-Let me go! I-I wasn't
    telling you to carry me!
[10:57] YUKIKAZE
    Mikan, you're dead.
[10:59] MIKAN
    Hey!
[11:04] AKIRA
    This is the Prison Labyrinth.
    Who created this thing?
[11:08] KUNAI
    There are so many people here that
    this all feels very pedestrian.
[11:12] YUKIKAZE
    The first three floors get lots of traffic.
[11:14] YUKIKAZE
    The numbers dwindle after that.
[11:17] AKIRA
    Huge! Gross!
[11:19] MIKAN
    A sand snail? Takes me back.
[11:22] YUKIKAZE
    Reminds me of my rookie days.
[11:24] MIKAN
    Time to hunt it for old times' sake!
[11:30] KUNAI
    Does the shell fetch a decent price?
[11:32] MIKAN
    That's right. It gets crushed and mixed in soil.
[11:35] KUNAI
    I see. It makes construction material?
[11:37] YUKIKAZE
    Makes things rock hard. They
    fetch five coppers for three.
[11:41] MIKAN
    And an even better price right before war.
[11:44] YUKIKAZE
    Transport, Snow Trolley.
[11:49] YUKIKAZE
    Put it in, mister.
[11:52] YUKIKAZE
    Stick that hard, stiff—
[11:54] KUNAI
    Suck on this.
[11:57] KUNAI
    How do they dispose of the monster
    corpses? They'll rot if left alone.
[12:01] MIKAN
    They disappear after some time.
[12:02] KUNAI
    Disappear? But the shell won't?
[12:06] MIKAN
    The spoils don't.
[12:08] KUNAI
    Why not?
[12:09] MIKAN
    Don't ask me.
[12:10] AKIRA
    How convenient... or sloppy.
[12:13] AKIRA
    This, too, is so very RPG-like.
[12:17] MIKAN
    That noise! It's a monster parade!
[12:19] YUKIKAZE
    Festival time!
[12:20] KUNAI
    A festival?
[12:22] MIKAN
    All right! Let's go, you guys!
[12:25] YUKIKAZE
    The time has come, and so has Mikan.
[12:27] KUNAI
    A festival, huh? Better
    join in on the fun, then.
[12:35] MIKAN
    Yeah, bring it!
[12:37] KUNAI
    Ah, so it's a massive outbreak of monsters.
[12:40] YUKIKAZE
    One of these helped me make
    ends meet in the past.
[12:43] KUNAI
    It's like a temporary bonus, right?
[12:52] ADVENTURER1
    Damn, it's a tinpot!
[12:53] ADVENTURER2
    Somebody stop it with magic!
[12:55] ADVENTURER3
    Does nobody here have any traps?!
[13:02] YUKIKAZE
    Mister.
[13:04] YUKIKAZE
    Rookies can't handle that thing.
[13:09] MIKAN
    All of you, get back!
[13:13] MIKAN
    I'll take this one...
[13:15] GV
    Sodom's Flames.
[13:20] KUNAI
    Pardon me.
[13:22] KUNAI
    You may return to the festivities now.
[13:26] YUKIKAZE
    You may.
[13:28] MIKAN
    Hey, don't just leave me behind!
[13:31] ADVENTURER
    Who was that?
[13:32] FADV1
    He was so dandy!
[13:34] FADV2
    Was that his lover with him?
[13:36] FADV3
    Damn it! Is it the looks?
[13:38] FADV3
    Do looks matter most, after all?!
[13:43] MILLIGAN
    Is that Rabby Village?
[13:45] MILLIGAN
    I thought it'd be more rundown, but whatever.
[13:51] MILLIGAN
    Okay, time to help myself
    to some little bunnies.
[13:59] ISAMI
    Heya, buddy.
[14:02] ISAMI
    Where do you think you're going?
[14:04] MILLIGAN
    The hell is that?
[14:05] ISAMI
    You don't really have to answer.
[14:09] ISAMI
    But, you know, formalities.
[14:11] MILLIGAN
    Man, I got lost in the dark.
[14:15] MILLIGAN
    Could you let me—
[14:16] ISAMI
    Oh, yeah?
[14:23] YU
    Hey, Tahara, don't rough up my specimens.
[14:26] ISAMI
    Does it matter? You're gonna cut,
    slice, and chop 'em up anyway.
[14:30] YU
    You are truly thoughtless.
[14:33] YU
    You have no idea how to handle guinea pigs.
[14:36] ISAMI
    And I'm perfectly fine with that.
[14:40] MILLIGAN
    What's wrong? Back me up here!
[14:42] YU
    Oh, I'm sorry to say...
[14:44] YU
    Your friends in the back are in here.
[14:54] MILLIGAN
    N-No! Don't hurt me!
[14:56] MILLIGAN
    We were lost, really!
[14:58] ISAMI
    Dude, weren't you spying on the
    village from this afternoon?
[15:02] MILLIGAN
    No! I just got here...
[15:05] ISAMI
    Yeah? Tron, what color do you see in him?
[15:09] TRON
    A really muddy one.
[15:11] TAHARA
    Sigh... Waste water after
    a painting job, huh?
[15:14] TRON
    He's lying. He's guilty.
[15:18] ISAMI
    Figures. My gut tells me he's
    the scum of the earth, too.
[15:25] YU
    Come, let's go. I'm thinking
    I'll turn you into fertilizer.
[15:30] MILLIGAN
    Let me go! Please—
[15:31] YU
    I'm growing a new strain of plant now.
[15:34] YU
    It's a cute little thing that grows by
    absorbing nutrients from the human body,
[15:37] YU
    and it has really pretty flowers.
[15:40] ISAMI
    Wow.
[15:41] YU
    I want to gift those flowers to the chief.
[15:44] YU
    Tahara, the chief will like it... won't he?
[15:49] ISAMI
    I-I bet.
[15:50] YU
    I thought so!
[15:52] YU
    When I tried it on his companions,
[15:54] YU
    the pain inflicted made the flower's
    color more vibrant, I think.
[15:58] ISAMI
    S-Sounds about right.
[16:00] TRON
    Bye-bye.
[16:02] YU
    Do your best to please the chief, okay?
[16:05] YU
    I'll put in the work, too.
[16:07] MILLIGAN
    S-Spare me.
[16:11] YU
    You fool.
[16:13] YU
    Have you ever spared anyone
    that begged for their life?
[16:17] YU
    No, right?
[16:18] MILLIGAN
    Eek... please...
[16:18] YU
    So I won't, either.
[16:21] YU
    You will die not as a
    human, but as vegetation.
[16:25] YU
    Soon, you'll forget how to speak.
[16:28] MILLIGAN
    No! Not like this!
[16:31] YU
    Lately, I've been thinking...
[16:34] YU
    Even ants have no right to be trampled
    by the chief and soil his shoes.
[16:40] YU
    They ought to get out of
    his way, don't you think?
[16:46] YUKIKAZE
    Mister's rock hard...
[16:52] AKIRA
    Time to do what I came for.
[16:55] KUNAI
    Instant Movement: Prison Labyrinth.
[17:05] KUNAI
    You guys again?
[17:08] KUNAI
    You don't learn, do you?
[17:11] GV
    Sodom's Flame.
[17:14] KUNAI
    But you're good for farming skill points.
[17:20] BANDIT A
    Yo, check it out.
[17:23] BANDIT A
    We found another idiot in here by himself.
[17:26] BANDIT B
    Lots of marks today. We're in luck.
[17:29] KUNAI
    I'd ask what you want, but
    I think I know already.
[17:33] BANDIT B
    Smart guy.
[17:35] BANDIT B
    Leave all your money and scram.
[17:37] KUNAI
    I doubt you'd let me go even if I did.
[17:42] BANDIT A
    That one resisted, and now look.
[17:44] BANDIT B
    Don't wanna end up like
    that, right? Pay up, then.
[17:48] KUNAI
    Trying to reason with you is a waste of time.
[17:50] KUNAI
    Very well!
[17:52] BANDIT B
    Sleep.
[17:55] AKIRA
    Magic? Damn it...
[18:01] BANDIT A
    Wh-What?
[18:03] GV
    Sodom's Flame.
[18:20] KUNAI
    What did you do to me, scum?
[18:23] BANDIT A
    No... m-my face...
[18:32] KUNAI
    Magic? What a bothersome world.
[18:35] BANDIT B
    S-S-Spare me!
[18:37] BANDIT B
    I won't do it anymore! You
    can have all my money!
[18:40] KUNAI
    You scum always make the same mistake.
[18:43] KUNAI
    Begging for your life only works when
    you're up against a merciful opponent.
[18:51] KUNAI
    Foolish creator.
[18:53] KUNAI
    They need to entertain me more.
[18:57] KUNAI
    Wait...
[18:58] KUNAI
    I suppose they are causing enough chaos.
[19:08] AKIRA
    Crap! He just did whatever he wanted.
[19:11] AKIRA
    Don't just go around killing people.
[19:15] AKIRA
    Huh? The corpses are gone.
[19:17] AKIRA
    In these caves, even human bodies
    disappear after some time, huh?
[19:28] AKIRA
    The heck is that?
[19:29] AKIRA
    It's this thing's doing.
[19:31] AKIRA
    This ring seeks to bring chaos
    and destruction to the world.
[19:35] AKIRA
    Grant its wish, and it will grant yours.
[19:39] AKIRA
    But I won't let you have your way.
[19:51] KUNAI
    If anyone's wish is to come true,
[19:54] KUNAI
    it will be mine.
[20:05] AKIRA
    Seriously?
[20:07] AKIRA
    Isn't this a gun?
[20:10] KUNAI
    Wow...
[20:12] KUNAI
    I should get Tahara to take a look at it.
[20:21] KUNAI
    What's this?
[20:24] AKIRA
    It's basically a factory.
[20:33] AKIRA
    Are those adventurers and monsters
    that died on the other floors?
[20:51] AKIRA
    I see... So this is a recycling plant.
[20:57] AKIRA
    Is that an invite?
[21:01] KUNAI
    So?
[21:03] KUNAI
    What do you want from me?
SIGN    Let's play, Demon Lord
SIGN    I'll play with you, Demon Lord
[21:30] KUNAI
    You've shown your true colors.
SIGN    I'll play with you, Demon Lord
SIGN    I'll kill you, I'll play with you
SIGN    I'll kill you, I'll play
[21:40] KUNAI
    You sit here in this stupid factory
    and act like you're a king?
[21:44] KUNAI
    Simply ridiculous.
[21:50] GV
    Sodom's Flame.
[21:56] KUNAI
    I don't know who you are, but
    let me tell you one thing:
[22:01] KUNAI
    Nothing is impossible for
    me and my Great Empire.
[22:09] AKIRA
    I thought this was just some other
    world, but things are getting interesting.
