**[01:34] ---**
I am Naviko, the one rumored
to have gotten prettier lately.
**[01:38] ---**
In the last episode, the three received
new cards from the Monster Dispenser.
**[01:43] ---**
Hiro now had his first new cards, but then...
**[01:46] ---**
They were captured by Rubica's gang!
**[01:48] ---**
Now, what will happen to our three heroes?
***SIGN*** Run! Hiro and Rei!
**[01:53] ---**
Run! Hiro...
**[01:55] ---**
...and Rei!
**[02:08] ---**
Quickly!
**[02:09] ---**
This way!
**[02:21] ---**
Shin! Rei! Heft the log on your shoulders!
**[02:25] ---**
Hey!
**[02:26] ---**
Is this a charm of some sort?
**[02:28] ---**
It'll be easier to run this way.
**[02:30] ---**
Oh! Good point!
**[02:32] ---**
What are you doing? Hurry up!
**[02:33] ---**
Okay, we'll run in a line! Left foot first!
**[02:36] ---**
Yeah!
**[02:37] ---**
Left! Right! Left! Right! Left!
**[02:40] ---**
Right! Left! Right!
**[02:40] ---**
Okay, keep following me, then jump!
**[02:43] ---**
Huh? Jump?!
**[02:46] ---**
At any rate, we must hurry!
**[02:54] ---**
Not this again!
**[02:58] ---**
I'm sick of falling!
**[03:06] ---**
Ahh... choo!
**[03:11] ---**
It seems that getting tied up and falling
into rivers is a fate we can't escape.
**[03:17] ---**
Thanks for saving us.
**[03:19] ---**
I didn't save you for nothing.
**[03:22] ---**
You're the DraColle Battlers
who captured Meatmania, right?
**[03:27] ---**
Indeed we are.
**[03:28] ---**
Then, I have a request.
**[03:30] ---**
Would you drive away a monster
from Lake Coopa for us?
**[03:34] ---**
Lake Coopa?
**[03:36] ---**
It's at the very center of the forest.
**[03:39] ---**
Our crop fields and orchards are nearby.
**[03:43] ---**
However...
**[03:44] ---**
A brutal monster settled
there a few months ago,
**[03:48] ---**
and nobody can approach the place anymore.
**[03:50] ---**
If nothing is done, the village
and our fields are done for!
**[03:53] ---**
Most of the villagers have already left, in fact.
**[03:57] ---**
All right! Leave it to u— choo!
**[04:01] ---**
Right?!
**[04:02] ---**
Wait a moment.
**[04:04] ---**
One of you will stay behind.
**[04:06] ---**
If you run away after leaving here,
we'll have lost everything.
**[04:10] ---**
You cannot trust us?
**[04:12] ---**
Sorry, but we're desperate.
**[04:15] ---**
I'm hungry...
**[04:16] ---**
Me, too...
**[04:18] ---**
Then, you'll stay here.
**[04:19] ---**
Why me?!
**[04:21] ---**
A sick person would hinder us.
**[04:25] ---**
The deadline is sunset.
**[04:27] ---**
If you're not back by then...
**[04:29] ---**
We'll have no choice but to sacrifice
your friend to the monster.
**[04:51] ---**
This is it... Lake Coopa.
**[04:53] ---**
Then, the orchards and fields lie over there.
**[04:56] ---**
Where's the monster's den?
**[05:02] ---**
I-It's here!
**[05:04] ---**
What's this?
**[05:08] ---**
You guys are still alive?
**[05:10] ---**
Jeez, you're tenacious!
**[05:13] ---**
You're Rubica!
**[05:14] ---**
My! Well spotted!
**[05:17] ---**
So the "lake monster" was really you people?!
**[05:20] ---**
That's right.
**[05:21] ---**
Since there's plenty of food here,
we made it our rest area.
**[05:27] ---**
You're making a lot of trouble for the villagers!
**[05:30] ---**
Hah! I couldn't care less!
**[05:35] (Flashback) ---**
I'm hungry...
**[05:37] (Flashback) ---**
My tummy hurts!
**[05:44] ---**
Rei... Suddenly I'm really ticked off!
**[05:48] ---**
Very well...
**[05:49] ---**
What? You wish to fight
against me... and this?!
**[05:55] ---**
Help me out, Papi!
**[05:59] ---**
All right! He's a Fire Drake!
**[06:03] ---**
Ice Valkyrie!
**[06:05] ---**
This should be fun.
**[06:08] ---**
I'll mess you up good!
***SIGN*** DraColle Battler: Rubica
***SIGN*** Katana Tiger
***SIGN*** Basheem
***SIGN*** Frost Devil
**[06:11] ---**
Basheem! Frost Devil! Katana Tiger!
**[06:16] ---**
She's a Water Attribute, too?!
**[06:18] ---**
If only we had Shin's Forest Attribute...
**[06:20] ---**
What happened to your guts?
**[06:22] ---**
You're right.
**[06:23] ---**
Go, Fire Drake!
**[06:27] ---**
Forward, Ice Valkyrie!
**[06:30] ---**
Think you can keep up?
**[06:37] ---**
Her skill falls at the higher
end of "second class"...
**[06:41] ---**
Oh, dear...
**[06:42] ---**
Your monster is too slow!
**[06:44] ---**
You have no chance of winning like that.
**[06:47] ---**
Hey, you're Pigacchi!
**[06:49] ---**
I'm not a pig!
**[06:50] ---**
My name's Hanicchi!
**[06:53] ---**
Oh, wait, you're the useless
DraColle Battler with only one card.
**[06:58] ---**
Coming here was a waste of time.
**[07:01] ---**
Oh, right!
**[07:03] ---**
I did get some more cards.
**[07:04] ---**
Hani!
**[07:06] ---**
Sir, don't be such a tease!
**[07:08] ---**
You really should have told me so sooner!
**[07:11] ---**
Now, then! Time for a big combination!
**[07:15] ---**
All right!
**[07:16] ---**
Return, Fire Drake!
***SIGN*** DraColle Battler: Hiro
**[07:21] [SONG] ---**
Drake Puppy
**[07:23] ---**
Use these, please!
**[07:26] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[07:36] ---**
It's filling me...
**[07:37] ---**
It's coming together!
**[07:40] ---**
It's a great success!
***SIGN*** It's a Great Success!!!
***SIGN*** DraColle Battler: Hiro
**[07:43] [SONG] ---**
Drake Puppy
**[07:44] ---**
All right!
**[07:46] ---**
Summon!
**[07:55] ---**
Wow! He's way faster than before!
**[08:04] ---**
You did it!
**[08:06] ---**
That haniwa just had to meddle!
***SIGN*** DraColle Battler: Rei
***SIGN*** Night-Gaunt
**[08:11] ---**
Summon!
**[08:14] ---**
Night-Gaunt!
**[08:16] ---**
Use a pincer attack! Finish them off!
**[08:18] ---**
Shall I slice you into pieces?
**[08:21] ---**
This is bad! Fire Drake!
**[08:26] ---**
Ah, stamina consumption is extremely
high right after a combination!
**[08:30] ---**
It doesn't have full control yet.
**[08:33] ---**
Perhaps you'd call it youthful recklessness?
**[08:36] ---**
What'll I do?
**[08:37] ---**
I used up all my other cards in that combina—
**[08:40] ---**
Oh, right!
***SIGN*** DraColle Battler: Hiro
**[08:42] [SONG] ---**
Blaze Fighter
**[08:44] ---**
Summon!
**[08:47] ---**
Blaze Fighter!
**[08:49] ---**
I'll give it everything I've got!
**[08:54] ---**
Here I go!
**[09:00] ---**
No way... how could I have lost?
**[09:04] ---**
Now leave this lake immediately!
**[09:08] ---**
I won't forget this!
**[09:12] ---**
Now, we'd better get back by sunset or...
**[09:15] ---**
Huh?
**[09:16] ---**
What? Huh?
**[09:17] ---**
Oh, no! I think I lost the map!
**[09:20] ---**
Worry not, valet.
**[09:22] ---**
I left guide markers on the way here,
in the event something like this happened.
**[09:26] ---**
Oh, those fruits!
**[09:28] ---**
Precisely!
**[09:29] ---**
Any seasoned traveler should know this method!
**[09:32] ---**
Wow! So much respect!
**[09:35] ---**
I'll accept your respect.
**[09:37] ---**
Now, our markers are right over—
**[09:43] ---**
Gone... my markers are... gone!
**[09:47] ---**
Did you eat *all* of them?
**[09:52] ---**
Nooooo!!
**[09:58] ---**
F-Finally made it...
**[10:00] ---**
It's long past sunset...
**[10:04] ---**
Then...
**[10:05] ---**
Shin!
**[10:06] ---**
Shin!
**[10:07] ---**
Huh?
**[10:08] ---**
What's wrong?
**[10:09] ---**
He's gone...
**[10:11] ---**
D-Don't tell me...
**[10:13] ---**
All because we were late...
**[10:15] ---**
Found you, Shin!
**[10:18] ---**
Aw, you found me!
**[10:20] ---**
You gotta hide better!
**[10:22] ---**
I thought I was hidden pretty good...
**[10:22] ---**
He seems to be having fun.
**[10:24] ---**
Indeed.
**[10:25] ---**
And he's all better, too.
**[10:27] ---**
Well, you got back late.
**[10:30] ---**
After making sure you'd driven them away,
I returned home ahead of you.
**[10:34] ---**
You followed us there?!
**[10:35] ---**
Then, what about that "sacrifice" stuff?
**[10:38] ---**
I would never do that.
**[10:40] ---**
Oh, come on...
**[10:43] ---**
I'm all better now!
**[10:46] ---**
Well, that's fine, then.
**[10:52] ---**
All right! My cold's better,
and I'm in perfect shape!
**[10:54] ---**
You're an easygoing fellow.
**[10:56] ---**
By the way, Rei, you called me by
my name for the first time last night.
**[11:00] ---**
Did I, now?
**[11:02] ---**
Then, I'll make sure to refer to
you properly by name from now on.
**[11:05] ---**
Got that, Valet Hiro and Valet Shin?
**[11:08] ---**
You don't need the "Valet"...
**[11:12] ---**
Someone's coming.
**[11:14] ---**
Someone?
**[11:15] ---**
But who is it?
**[11:17] ---**
If you thought, "It doesn't matter
who they are," you're dead wrong!
**[11:21] ---**
This desert encounter will lead to a
major development in our tale! Probably!
**[11:25] ---**
Next episode: "Looks Like a Traveler in Trouble!"
**[11:28] ---**
Await it with guts!
