[00:01] Reina
    So, everyone's okay with us making
    this our base for now, right?
[00:05] Reina
    It's a small room with four
    beds and nothing else,
[00:08] Reina
    but this cheap inn is where
     we'll make our start!
[00:11] Reina
    The place where the legend
    of the Crimson Vow begins!
[00:19] Pauline
    The first thing we need is a stable income.
[00:22] Pauline
    We need money for food and
    weapons and things, after all.
[00:25] Mavis
    For now, we need about
    ten gold coins a month.
[00:29] Reina
    That's another reason we have to go out
    and tear through those Hunter quests.
[00:33] Reina
    Doing that will get us out of this cheap hotel,
[00:35] Reina
    and to a much bigger inn with a bath!
[00:37] Mile
    What?
[00:39] Mile
    This place might be cheap,
    but it's nice, you know.
[00:42] Mile
    Though, the rooms are a little old,
     the toilet is shared,
[00:45] Mile
    and the walls are thin so you can
    hear what's going on next door.
[00:49] Mile
    Well, you can't expect more. It's nice,
    but it is a cheap inn, after all.
[00:53] Mavis
    Indeed. It's a nice place,
    but it is a cheap inn.
[00:58] Lenny
    Stop calling our place a cheap inn!
[01:01] Lenny
    If you'd be quiet and listen,
    you'd see how horrible you sound!
[01:04] Lenny
    Besides which, you said you had
    no money and nowhere to go,
[01:06] ---
    so I charged you even less!
[01:10] Lenny
    You could show a little gratitude!
[01:12] Girls
    Yes, ma'am. We're very sorry.
[01:15] Lenny
    Which is why...
[01:17] Lenny
    Young ladies, it's time
    to show what you've got!
[01:20] Girls
    Huh?
[01:25] Mile
    Thank you for waiting!
[01:28] Mile
    Your roasted orc with mandragora!
[01:30] Customer
    Oh. Thanks.
[01:32] Mile
    Make it more delicious!
    Make it more delicious!
[01:35] Mile
    Moe! Moe! Kyun!
[01:42] Reina
    We're supposed to do that, too?
[01:44] Pauline
    What does, "Moe! Moe!" mean?
[01:46] Mavis
    No idea...
[01:49] Lenny
    I was right!
[01:52] Lenny
    I'm glad I had the girls come here.
[01:56] Mile
    Moe! Moe! Kyun!
[01:59] Nano
    My goodness.
[02:00] Nano
    Making a living sure is
    difficult, isn't it, Mile-sama?
[02:03] Mile
    To think I'd come to another world
    and be forced to work in a maid café...
SIGN    Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities
    Average in the Next Life?!
SIGN    Episode 4
SIGN    Didn't I Say This Was the Crimson Vow's First Step?!
[03:45] Nano
    This is the Hunters' Guild in the Kingdom of Tils.
[03:51] Pauline
    Do you see any good quests?
[03:54] Mavis
    None of them really feel right.
[03:57] Mavis
    Orcs are too easy.
[03:59] ---
    And we don't have enough
    people to hunt kobolds.
[04:01] Reina
    We can't settle for just any old quest!
[04:04] Reina
    After all, this will be the
    Crimson Vow's first job!
[04:08] Mile
    Hey, what about this one?
[04:09] Mile
    Collecting rock lizard materials.
[04:12] Mile
    Each lizard gets us fifteen small gold coins.
[04:15] Pauline
    That's a nice reward!
[04:17] Mavis
    And it's a quest that
    C-rank Hunters can handle.
[04:19] Reina
    It's decided!
[04:21] Girls
    Huh?
[04:22] Reina
    The Crimson Vow's first quest...
[04:24] Reina
    That's it!
[04:32] Reina
    Hang on! No one said anything about this!
[04:34] Pauline
    Rock lizards are...
[04:35] Mile
    They're huge!
[04:38] Mile
    And they run fast!
[04:40] Reina
    I can beat it with fire magic, but burning
    it to a crisp won't let us fulfill the quest!
[04:45] Pauline
    This is quite a problem!
[04:49] Mavis
    Running won't accomplish anything!
[04:51] Mavis
    Leave this to me!
[05:12] Reina
    Mavis...
[05:14] Pauline
    She made it angry.
[05:17] Mile
    We have to do something!
[05:19] Mile
    Oh, I know!
[05:20] Mile
    Reina-san. Pauline-san.
[05:30] Mavis
    Uh-oh...
[05:34] Mavis
    No one told me it could stand, too!
[05:39] Mavis
    Huh?
[05:44] Mavis
    I-It's freezing.
[05:45] Reina
    Perfect Freeze!
[05:47] Pauline
    Ultra Freeze!
[05:57] Mile
    Mavis-san! Now!
[06:00] Mavis
    Mile!
[06:09] Mavis
    Got it.
[06:11] Mavis
    But it's freezing!
[06:12] Mile
    Mavis-san! Well done!
[06:14] Pauline
    But why did ice magic make
    the rock lizard stop?
[06:20] Mile
    Oh. That's simple.
[06:22] Mile
    We made use of a characteristic
    of cold-blooded animals.
[06:25] Mile
    Lizards, reptiles in general,
    and other poikilotherms'
[06:28] ---
    internal temperatures change according
    to the external temperature.
[06:31] Mile
    That's why, if you use ice magic to suddenly
    lower the temperature, they stop moving.
[06:37] Pauline
    Really? Mile-chan, you're so knowledgeable!
[06:40] Mavis
    Where did you learn to fight like this?
[06:43] Reina
    "Perfect Freeze," "Ultra Freeze"...
[06:46] ---
    You even told us what the spells were called.
[06:48] Reina
    What do the names mean?
[06:49] Mile
    Huh?
[06:50] Mile
    Uh... well...
[06:53] Huge hero
    Hup!
[06:56] Huge hero
    Ultra Freeze!
[07:03] Mile
    I-It's a secret family technique...
[07:06] Mavis
    Well, names aside, I understand the logic.
[07:11] Mavis
    At any rate...
[07:13] Mavis
    Capture of one rock lizard! Success!
[07:16] Pauline
    It's wonderful!
[07:17] Mile
    We did it!
[07:19] Reina
    This is the first step for the Crimson Vow!
[07:23] Shopkeeper
    Ten small gold coins, I think.
[07:26] Girls
    Huh?
[07:27] Reina
    B-B-But I'm sure that the request from the
    Abbott Firm said fifteen small gold coins.
[07:32] Shopkeeper
    That's if it were in perfect condition.
[07:36] Shopkeeper
    But, you see?
[07:37] Shopkeeper
    On the neck. There's a sword wound.
[07:41] Shopkeeper
    Besides which, it's been more than three
    days since you caught it, correct?
[07:45] Shopkeeper
    It's degraded over that time.
[07:47] Mavis
    A sword wound?
[07:48] ---
    We had to fight it to capture it,
     so that's just a matter of course!
[07:51] Mavis
    Plus, the neck will get cut when
    you break it down anyway!
[07:55] Mavis
    And as far as time goes, it's only been a
    little over two days since we caught it.
[07:59] Shopkeeper
    Even so...
[08:01] Shopkeeper
    Those are our standards, you see.
[08:04] Mile
    Oh, but...
[08:08] Shopkeeper
    There's no way these little novice Hunter girls
    can possibly know the value of things yet.
[08:12] Shopkeeper
    As I'm a veteran merchant, I'll wheedle
    them down to a bargain price.
[08:16] Pauline
    All right.
[08:18] Everyone
    Huh?
[08:19] Mile
    Wha... Pauline-san?
[08:21] Pauline
    I suppose there's no helping it,
     if you put it like that.
[08:24] Shopkeeper
    Yes, exactly!
[08:26] Shopkeeper
    Now, I won't treat you
    badly, so just do as I—
[08:28] Pauline
    Mile...
[08:29] Pauline
    Please put the rock lizard back in storage.
[08:31] Everyone
    Huh?
[08:32] Pauline
    It seems the materials weren't
    in the desired condition,
[08:35] Pauline
    so this quest was a failure. Right?
[08:38] Pauline
    Well, if you'll excuse us.
[08:40] Shopkeeper
    W-Wait! I never said I
    wouldn't buy it from you!
[08:44] Pauline
    Oh, no. Supplying damaged goods
    only worth ten small gold coins
[08:48] Pauline
    would bring shame on our party.
[08:50] Shopkeeper
    Oh... but... I mean...
[08:52] Pauline
    But it really is such a shame.
[08:54] Pauline
    We went through all that trouble to catch
    so many, and it was all for nothing.
[08:58] Pauline
    Right, Mile?
[09:00] Mile
    Huh? Oh! Yes.
[09:03] Mile
    Rock lizard!
[09:05] Shopkeeper
    Huh?
[09:08] Shopkeeper
    Huh?
[09:09] Shopkeeper
    Huh?
[09:10] Shopkeeper
    What?
[09:12] Shopkeeper
    With this many, we'll be rolling in mon—
[09:15] Pauline
    Fortunately, we hadn't entered
    into an agreement yet.
[09:19] Pauline
    Oh! About the two small gold coin
    penalty for breach of contract...
[09:22] Pauline
    We've made sure to leave
    it with the Hunters' Guild.
[09:24] Pauline
    Please don't worry.
[09:26] Shopkeeper
    Oh! Oh, but...!
[09:29] Pauline
    You should regret your decision to pick
    a fight with the daughter of merchants.
[09:37] Mile
    Pauline-san... is terrifying!
[09:40] Mavis
    I'm glad it worked out, though...
[09:42] Mavis
    That the quest itself was invalid,
    so it wasn't a failure on our part.
[09:47] Reina
    Of course not.
[09:48] Reina
    It was the client who didn't stick
    to the facts laid out in the request.
[09:52] Reina
    What do you mean, "ten small gold coins"?
[09:54] ---
    He was underestimating us
     just because we're new!
[09:57] Pauline
    Now, now.
[09:58] Pauline
    The Hunters' Guild bought all our rock
    lizards at a fair price, after all...
[10:04] Pauline
    And trust in that cheating
    merchant has plummeted.
[10:07] Pauline
    Everything is going just as I planned.
[10:13] Reina
    Anyway! We just need to keep it
    up and charge ahead tomorrow!
[10:26] Reina
    Carelessness is the greatest enemy, Mavis.
[10:32] Mavis
    Thanks.
[10:34] Pauline
    Not at all.
[10:37] Mile
    There!
[10:43] Mile
    Rain, rain! Fall, fall! I'm so happy!
[10:47] Mile
    Mom is coming to pick me
    up with a paper umbrella.
[10:51] Pauline
    Where is that song from?
[10:51] Mile
    Drip, drop! Splash, splash! So much fun!
[10:53] Mile
    Oh, it's just... A secret family technique!
[10:57] Pauline
    That aside, our work was
    perfect yesterday, wasn't it?
[11:01] Mavis
    It could be that we're stronger
    than we think we are.
[11:05] Mavis
    We might really be able to
    become legendary Hunters.
[11:08] Mavis
    Maybe.
[11:10] Mile
    I'm fine with being a normal Hunter.
[11:12] Mavis
    No matter how you look at it, Mile is...
[11:14] Pauline
    ...probably not ever going to be normal.
[11:17] Reina
    You're all still too naïve.
[11:19] Girls
    Huh?
[11:20] Reina
    If you're satisfied with
    this level of accomplishment,
[11:22] Reina
    forget legendary! Even A rank
     will just be a dream!
[11:26] Reina
    We have to complete even
    more difficult quests,
[11:28] Reina
    so we can level up!
[11:31] Mavis
    Level up?
[11:32] Mile
    Us?
[11:33] Reina
    That's right!
[11:34] Reina
    Picking our next quest
    with that point in mind...
[11:41] Pauline
    Reina?
[11:43] Mavis
    This is...
[11:44] Reina
    A request to guard merchants.
[11:55] Old man
    Somehow, I just can't get
    into my usual rhythm...
[11:58] Old man
    I never imagined cute girls like you
    would be the Hunters to guard us.
[12:04] Pauline
    Oh my! You think we're cute?
[12:06] Mavis
    Please rest easy. In spite of
    our looks, we're C-rank Hunters.
[12:11] Mavis
    Right?
[12:11] Mile
    Huh?
[12:12] Mile
    Y-Yes, we are.
[12:19] Mile
    You mean... guarding merchants?
[12:21] (Flashback) Receptionist
    Yes.
[12:23] (Flashback) Receptionist
    Lately, on the main roads to Amroth,
[12:25] (Flashback) ---
    robbers have been appearing more frequently.
[12:28] (Flashback) Receptionist
    And among them are those
    who don't think ahead.
[12:30] (Flashback) ---
    They kill merchants, Hunters,
    everyone. They're truly horrible.
[12:36] (Flashback) Mavis
    What you're saying is that
    we'll be facing people.
[12:39] (Flashback) Receptionist
    Which is why I don't recommend
    this for novices like yourselves.
[12:43] (Flashback) Reina
    That quest!
[12:45] (Flashback) Reina
    We'll do it!
[12:49] Mile
    Reina-san...
[12:52] Reina
    You've been staring a while. What is it?
[12:53] Reina
    Is my profile really so unusual?
[12:56] Mile
    Oh, no. It's not that.
[12:59] Reina
    I know I'm being selfish.
[13:01] Reina
    I just went ahead and accepted this
    quest without really asking any of you.
[13:06] Mavis
    I can't deny that it was a sudden decision.
[13:09] Pauline
    But I do believe that this
    quest will help us level up.
[13:14] Mavis
    And, well, if you really
    want to do it, Reina,
[13:17] ---
    then it's up to us as
    friends to see it through.
[13:19] Reina
    You two...
[13:23] Mile
    Right? After all...
[13:25] Pauline
    We are bound together,
    the Crimson Vow. Right?
[13:28] Mile
    Hey! Why'd you say that when
    I was thinking of saying it?
[13:46] Mile
    Ta-dah!
[13:48] Mile
    They say to prepare for the worst
    and you'll never be sorry!
[13:51] Mile
    I thought this might happen,
    so I brought my old clothes.
[13:54] Mile
    Right, Reina-san?
[13:59] Reina
    Why do you have clothes like these?
[14:02] Mile
    Now, now. It's only while
    our clothes are drying.
[14:05] Reina
    Honestly. Fine, then.
[14:14] Mavis
    Um, Mile...
[14:17] Mavis
    Why am I in a guy's uniform?
[14:19] Mavis
    It was the same at the
    restaurant too, wasn't it?
[14:22] Mile
    It's because girls who like
    Takarazuka requested Mavis-san—
[14:24] Mile
    I mean...
[14:25] Mile
    It's because your frame is larger.
[14:27] Mile
    I thought this might happen.
    I'm glad I brought a guy's uniform, too.
[14:31] Mavis
    Oh, just do as you please...
[14:33] Mavis
    Oops! I forgot my sword.
[14:36] Old man
    You girls are quite cheerful.
[14:38] Old man
    When I look at you, it makes
    me think of my granddaughter.
[14:43] Reina
    Granddaughter?
[14:45] Old man
    Yes. She's a cute girl, just like you.
[14:51] Old man
    It's a dangerous job, but someone
    has to transport these goods.
[14:56] Old man
    I applied for this job prepared
    to die at any time, but...
[15:03] Old man
    You've shown me something good.
[15:06] Reina
    We won't let you die.
[15:08] Reina
    I'm sorry. I know you're resolved,
[15:11] Reina
    but as long as there's breath in
    my body, I won't let you die.
[15:15] Mile
    Reina-san...
[15:16] Pauline
    Excuse me...
[15:27] Pauline
    Mile-chan... This size doesn't really...
[15:30] Mile
    I'm sorry! They're mine,
    so they're a little small...
[15:34] Pauline
    W-Wait!
[15:36] Old man
    You look just like my granddaughter!
[15:39] Old man
    I can die happy!
[15:43] Reina
    What are you making Pauline wear?
[15:46] Mile
    Sorry! I didn't think the
    reaction would be this positive!
[15:49] Nano
    Um... Mile-sama.
[15:51] Nano
    Isn't it about time to use some search magic?
[15:54] Mile
    Oh man! I totally forgot!
[16:08] Mile
    Lattice Energy Barrier!
[16:16] Bandit A
    Tch. We've got someone here
    who uses some weird magic.
[16:21] Bandit leader
    What's this? You guys are Hunters?
[16:24] Bandit leader
    I thought you were rich
    students from somewhere.
[16:27] Reina
    I'll thank you not to look down on us.
[16:29] Bandit leader
    We'll leave that, then.
[16:30] Bandit leader
    Against this many, all you
    can do is surrender, right?
[16:36] Bandit leader
    So! Just leave everything you've got,
[16:39] ---
    and we'll let you keep your lives.
[16:41] Reina
    We know you're just going to kill everyone!
[16:43] Bandit leader
    Not gonna listen, huh?
[16:46] Bandit leader
    Then we'll take it by force!
[16:52] Reina
    The Crimson Vow's first real
    battle against other people!
[16:54] Reina
    Let's go!
[16:55] Girls
    Got it!
[16:57] Mile
    Everyone! Please just
    wait here and don't move.
[17:00] Mile
    Hup!
[17:01] Mavis
    Godspeed Sword!
[17:05] Pauline
    Water Cutter!
[17:09] Reina
    Fire Ball!
[17:17] Bandit leader
    How can they be so useless
    against little girls?
[17:19] Bandit leader
    Hey! Bring it out!
[17:21] Bandit leader
    Time to show 'em our secret weapon!
[17:24] Mage
    Leave it to me.
[17:27] Mage
    Come, my slaves!
[17:41] Mile
    What?
[17:43] Mile
    This is...!
[17:46] Mile
    It couldn't be!
[17:49] KaBoom
    Ka-boom!
[17:52] Mile
    There it is! He did a Build Up!
[17:56] Mage
    This is it! The ultimate mystery of
    my magic. My greatest secret weapon!
[18:01] Mage
    My amalgamate rock golem, KaBoom!
[18:05] Mile
    You got me!
[18:07] Mile
    Stretching out an arm! Stretching out a leg!
[18:09] ---
    Going crash, bang, boom!
[18:10] Mile
    I wanted to do that!
[18:13] Mavis
    We do not fear rock golems!
[18:16] Mavis
    We already know their weaknesses!
[18:18] Mavis
    There!
[18:23] Mavis
    The attack didn't work?
[18:25] Mage
    Don't go thinking this is
    like those other rock golems.
[18:29] Mage
    KaBoom's joints have been
    perfectly reinforced with magic.
[18:34] Mage
    Now, it's our turn!
[18:36] Mage
    Go, KaBoom!
[18:41] Mile
    No way! Is he using his "Knuckle" attack?
[18:47] Girls
    Mile!
[18:54] Reina
    M-Mile?
[19:00] (Flashback) Reina
    Dad...
[19:07] Reina
    Blaze brightly, righteous fires of hell!
[19:10] Reina
    Burn them to ash!
[19:15] Mage
    That's pointless!
[19:17] Mage
    No matter how hot the flames,
    my KaBoom will not be burned.
[19:26] Mage
    How foolish. It's your
    turn to fall into hell!
[19:30] Girls
    Reina!
[19:34] Mile
    Lattice Energy Barrier!
[19:39] Mile
    Oh, it broke.
[19:42] Reina
    Mile?!
[19:43] Mage
    It can't be!
[19:44] Mage
    You're still alive?
[19:46] Mile
    Um... Oh, I thought I was gonna die!
[19:51] Mage
    You impudent little...!
[19:52] Mage
    This time I will send you to the next world!
[19:55] Mile
    No, thank you.
[19:55] Mage
    Huh? Wait! Wha?
[19:58] Mile
    I've had it with reincarnation already.
[20:00] Mile
    Ultra Freeze!
[20:07] Mage
    Pointless! Pointless!
    You think that magic will work?
[20:13] Mage
    It can't be...
[20:15] Mage
    KaBoom's armor... How?
[20:18] Nano
    Allow me to explain!
[20:19] Nano
    No matter how strong the armor,

[20:30] Mile

[20:31] Mile
    This'll finish it!
[20:41] Mavis
    You did it, Mile!
[20:45] Pauline
    That was close.
[20:46] Mavis
    I'm glad it worked out.
[20:50] Bandit leader
    Man, look at the mess I made...
[20:52] Bandit leader
    I completely misjudged this.
[20:54] Bandit leader
    I thought I'd be able to sell you
    pretty girls for a high price.
[20:58] (Flashback) Killer bandit

    Even his bones will melt!
[21:31] Background
    Guys! Get him!
[21:34] Background
    Tie him up! Stay still, damn it!
[21:38] Mavis
    Honestly! What were you thinking?
[21:41] Mavis
    Were you going to kill him?
[21:49] Reina
    All of you...
[21:53] Reina
    Have you...
[21:55] Reina
    Have you ever killed anyone?
[21:58] Mile
    What?
