[00:01] Ein
    Hey, Jasper...
[00:03] Ein
    Did I really have to come in person too?
[00:06] Jasper
    Don't worry, young man.
[00:09] Jasper
    They'll likely be apprehensive
    about counterfeit goods,
[00:12] Jasper
    but with me here, you'll be fine.
[00:15] GuyA
    Look! It's Jasper!
[00:17] GuyB
    So that's the eponymous wealthy merchant...
[00:20] GuyC
    And who's the guy behind him?
[00:22] Clerk
    Master Jasper!
[00:24] Clerk
    It's so wonderful to have you.
[00:26] Clerk
    Let me fetch the guild master immediately.
[00:29] Jasper
    That won't be necessary.
[00:30] Jasper
    Today, I'm just accompanying this man.
[00:33] Clerk
    I see.
[00:35] Clerk
    In that case, how may I help you?
[00:38] Ein
    Um, I'd like to sell some items
     I've collected from dungeons.
[00:43] Jasper
    And then I'd like to purchase everything
     he sells you, understand?
[00:48] Clerk
    Very well.
[00:50] Clerk
    May I please see your guild license?
[00:54] Ein
    Here you go.
[00:55] Clerk
    Thank you.
[00:57] Clerk
    Let's see here.
[00:59] Clerk
    You're Ein, rank...
[01:02] Clerk
    R-Rank F?
[01:05] Clerk
    And your job is... appraiser?!
[01:09] Clerk
    I sincerely doubt an appraiser
    can defeat monsters!
[01:12] Clerk
    Master Jasper, are you sure this
    man isn't deceiving you?
[01:16] GuyA
    Oh man, and here I thought he was some
     rare class, but he's just a low common?
[01:21] GuyB
    How stupid can he be,
    trying to con Jasper like that?
[01:25] Jasper
    Go on, young man.
[01:27] Jasper
    Show them the truth.
[01:33] Clerk
    What?!
[01:35] Clerk
    Wh-What's with this mountain of rare items?!
[01:38] GuyE
    Isn't that the skull of the Immortal King?!
[01:41] GuyF
    What's an appraiser doing
    with exclusive boss monster drops?
[01:45] GuyA
    E-Even if that's the real deal,
    he has to have stolen it from someone.
[01:50] GuyB
    T-Totally.
[01:51] GuyB
    There's no way a low common
    could have taken that out.
[01:55] Ein(M)
    This is exactly why I didn't
    want to come to the guild.
[01:58] Ein(M)
    I don't like to draw attention,
[02:00] Ein(M)
    and I hate how much people
    looks down on low commons.
[02:05] Meegan
    Silence.
[02:06] Meegan
    How embarrassing.
[02:08] Meegan
    There is nothing more foolish
    than to judge based on job alone.
[02:12] GuyC
    Th-That's...
[02:15] GuyC
    It's Meegan, the guild master
    of the capital's adventurers guild!
[02:21] Meegan
    Hey, you.
[02:23] Meegan
    That's a nice eye you've got there.
[02:26] Ein(M)
    She can tell it's artificial?
[02:29] Ein(M)
    J-Just who is this person?
[02:35] Ein(M)
    So she's the guild master...
[02:38] Clerk
    I've assessed all your
    items with this Eye of Truth...
[02:43] Clerk
    and every single one appears to be genuine.
[02:47] Jasper
    So now you see.
[02:49] Jasper
    I, Jasper, vouch that he's strong enough
    to defeat such monsters by his own hand.
[02:56] Clerk
    M-M-Master Ein!
[02:58] Clerk
    You have my deepest apologies
     for my insolence before!
[03:03] Meegan
    I'll give her a proper talking to,
     so do forgive her.
[03:07] Meegan
    Judging someone by their job
     is so presumptuous.
[03:11] Meegan
    Even if our fates are decided at birth,
[03:15] Meegan
    life is fun because there are those
    who refuse to fit into such boxes.
[03:24] Meegan
    What is it?
[03:25] Ein
    Oh, just that discovering there
     are people like you in the guild
[03:32] Ein
    made me glad I decided to come.
[03:36] Meegan
    Very nice.
[03:37] Meegan
    Ein, was it?
[03:40] Meegan
    I like 'em strong.
[03:43] Meegan
    You're exactly the kind of guy
     I want in my guild.
[03:48] Meegan
    Well, give it some thought.
[03:50] Meegan
    I have a feeling you and I will be
     seeing each other again soon anyway.
[03:56] Clerk
    Now then, Master Ein, please wait in the
     waiting room while I process your items.
[04:01] Jasper
    One moment.
[04:03] Jasper
    Young man, you should produce
     the other items you collected
[04:06] Jasper
    from clearing the secret dungeon.
[04:08] Clerk
    What?
[04:09] People
    What?
[04:11] Everyone
    What?!
[04:13] People
    Holy crap! You mean he cleared
     a secret dungeon?!
[04:16] People
    Just who the hell are you?!
[04:18] Ein
    Whoa, hang on...
[04:20] Ein
    G-Give me a break!
[04:28] Ein
    I'm exhausted.
[04:29] Ein
    Sure, I don't like being looked down on,
[04:32] Ein
    but that kind of adulation also feels weird.
[04:38] Yuri
    The moon looks lovely
    tonight, doesn't it, Ein?
[04:41] Ein
    Yeah, it really does.
[04:43] Ein
    Wait, hang on!
[04:46] Ein
    Wh-Wh-What are you doing here?
[04:49] Yuri
    You're running away?
[04:51] Yuri
    But what for?
[04:52] Pina
    Well, you see...
[04:53] Pina
    Our boy over there saw you naked
    and was taken with lust!
[04:57] Yuri
    You mean taken with the lush bath?
[04:59] Pina
    Nope.
[05:00] Ein
    Wait, wait, wait!
[05:02] Ein
    Why are you two in here?
[05:04] Ein
    This is the men's bath!
[05:07] Pina
    But we're spirits.
[05:10] Pina
    Why should we be bound by human rules?
[05:13] Ein
    Because you're in a human bath!
[05:16] Pina
    So what?
[05:17] Pina
    Feeling bashful or something?
[05:21] Pina
    You saw my big sister and started
    thinking dirty, didn't you?!
[05:24] Ein
    That's not... true...
[05:32] Pina
    Guess it's only a matter of time
    before you have a half-spirit baby.
[05:38] Ursula
    Boy.
[05:40] Ursula
    Were you just looking at my
    daughter with impure thoughts?
[05:45] Ein
    Ursula, cover yourself!
[05:47] Ursula
    Now you listen good.
[05:49] Ursula
    Yuri is my treasure.
[05:51] Ursula
    Touch her, and I will use my highest magic
     to blast you to the ends of the earth.
[05:56] Yuri
    Come on! Mom, stop!
[05:59] Ursula
    Don't try to stop me, Yuri!
[06:00] Ursula
    I'm stamping out this
    evil pest for your sake!
[06:03] Yuri
    Ein isn't a pest!
[06:05] Yuri
    He's a wonderful man!
[06:09] Ursula
    Could it be...
[06:10] Ursula
    that I'm too late?
[06:13] Ursula
    Boy.
[06:15] Ursula
    Have you prepared your will?
[06:18] Ein
    A-Are you serious?!
[06:20] Yuri
    Stop!
[06:21] Yuri
    Ein, run!
[06:22] Pina
    Come on.
[06:23] Pina
    Do it, do it.
[06:28] Ein
    Seriously, give me a break...
[06:31] Kurohime
    My, my.
[06:32] Kurohime
    If it isn't Einy.
[06:34] Ein
    Kurohime.
[06:35] Ein
    Have you been resting over here?
[06:38] Kurohime
    It's been ages since things were this lively.
[06:41] Kurohime
    Putting Pina in your care was the right call.
[06:45] Kurohime
    Thank you.
[06:47] Ein
    Is Pina is like a daughter to you as well?
[06:50] Kurohime
    Yes, I suppose so.
[06:52] Kurohime
    Guardians created the spirit cores, and the
    egos that settled in them are the girls.
[06:58] Kurohime
    So, in a manner of speaking,
    I gave birth to Pina.
[07:02] Ein
    So in addition to Yuri and Pina,
[07:05] Ein
    there are six other such interesting pairs?
[07:05] txt
    Withered
[07:09] Kurohime
    No. There are seven.
[07:12] Ein
    Huh?
[07:13] Ein
    But I heard the first tree
     withered some time ago.
[07:16] Kurohime
    That's right.
[07:17] Kurohime
    But it's not as if her spirit core
     was completely destroyed.
[07:21] Ein
    Th-Then the first spirit is still alive?
[07:25] Kurohime
    Yes, most likely.
[07:29] Kurohime
    Echidna, the eldest sister,
[07:32] Kurohime
    should be somewhere out
    there with her guardian.
[07:35] Kurohime
    That said, nobody knows where she is.
[07:38] Kurohime
    Nor do we know the locations of the
    dungeons containing the other trees.
[07:42] Ein
    Yeah, that's a serious setback.
[07:46] Kurohime
    Are you perhaps at your wits' end?
[07:49] Kurohime
    Are you going to give up the search?
[07:54] Ein
    Never.
[07:56] Ein
    It doesn't change what I'm here to do.
[07:59] Ein
    I owe Yuri so much. I want
    to help her find her family.
[08:03] Ein
    To that end, I'll do everything in my power.
[08:09] Kurohime
    Neither by job nor skill...
[08:11] Kurohime
    Einy has a special power
    to draw people close to him.
[08:20] Ein
    So much happened yesterday.
[08:23] Ein
    We'll have to give gathering intel
     today all we've got.
[08:27] Ein
    Good morning!
[08:29] Meegan
    Hey, Ein.
[08:30] Meegan
    I thought I'd pay a visit.
[08:32] Ein
    Meegan?
[08:34] Jasper
    Good morning, young man.
[08:36] Jasper
    The guild master has come
    with a request for you personally.
[08:40] Ein
    Why me?
[08:41] Ein
    She could ask anyone in the guild.
[08:43] Meegan
    You see, it's something only you can do.
[08:48] Meegan
    Do you know of the Behemoth?
[08:50] Ein
    No, I can't say I do.
[08:53] Meegan
    He's one of the powerful ancient dragons
    spawned by Demon Lord Miktoran.
[08:58] Meegan
    After the Demon Lord was sealed,
    the dragon went into hiding.
[09:03] Jasper
    But for some reason,
[09:04] Jasper
    he's reappeared only to attack merchants
    and cargo passing through the area.
[09:10] Meegan
    This is the reason I'm here.
[09:13] Meegan
    I would like to officially task you with
    taking down the SS-rank Behemoth.
[09:20] Ein
    It has a rank of SS?
[09:23] Jasper
    This quest may well cost you your life.
[09:26] Jasper
    Moreover, I know you don't want
    to get involved with the guild, but...
[09:31] Ein
    I understand. I accept.
[09:35] Ein
    I mean, you're in a bind, right?
[09:39] Jasper
    You have a strong heart,
    worthy of all the power you wield.
[09:43] Meegan
    I knew I had high hopes for you for a reason.
[09:48] Ursula
    Man, oh man.
[09:50] Ursula
    You still haven't realized
    how much you've grown?
[09:53] Ein
    Ursula?
[09:54] Meegan
    Once again, I'm counting on you, Ein.
[09:58] Ein
    Yes, ma'am.
[10:05] Ein
    It's so hot.
[10:06] Ein
    Ursula, the Behemoth is around
    here somewhere, right?
[10:10] Ursula
    Indeed.
[10:11] Ursula
    I've already appraised his position.
[10:13] Ursula
    This is an earth dragon that can absorb spells,
    claiming their magic power as his own.
[10:18] Ursula
    He can also turn mere air into projectiles
    that pierce space itself with "Helix Bullet."
[10:23] Ein
    Got it.
[10:25] Ein(M)
    So he absorbs magic, huh?
[10:27] Ein(M)
    That means I'm limited
    to my sword and abilities.
[10:30] Ursula
    During the day, Behemoth stays
    hidden beneath the sand.
[10:34] Ursula
    First, you'll have to drag him out.
[10:37] Ein
    Got it.
[10:38] Ein
    Nova Strike!
[10:56] Behemoth
    Who goes there?
[10:59] Behemoth
    Who is impudent enough
    to disturb my slumber?
[11:04] Ein
    This is him...
[11:06] Ein
    The ancient dragon Behemoth!
[11:13] Behemoth(M)
    I have never known the concept of "defeat."
[11:17] Behemoth(M)
    After being given life by
    the Demon Lord himself,
[11:20] Behemoth(M)
    I have never met anyone
    stronger than myself.
[11:24] Behemoth(M)
    From birth, I have possessed
    overwhelming power.
[11:28] Behemoth(M)
    The world holds no threat that can shake me.
[11:32] Behemoth(M)
    Is there none fierce enough
    to face me on my level?
[11:36] Behemoth(M)
    How utterly...
[11:41] Behemoth(M)
    dull.
[11:44] Behemoth(M)
    He's not much to look at,
[11:47] Behemoth(M)
    but it seems he can use
    somewhat powerful magic.
[11:50] Behemoth(M)
    Not that magic works on me.
[11:54] Behemoth
    Who are you to face me?
[11:57] Ein
    My name is Ein.
[11:59] Ein
    I've come to defeat you.
[12:05] Behemoth
    How amusing.
[12:07] Behemoth
    You think a frail creature like yourself
    stands any chance against me?
[12:12] Ein
    Sure I do.
[12:14] Ein
    That's why I'm here.
[12:17] Behemoth
    I'll concede that you have spirit.
[12:20] Behemoth
    But know that the Demon Lord
     himself was my creator,
[12:24] Behemoth
    making me overwhelmingly
    powerful from birth.
[12:26] Behemoth
    Furthermore...
[12:27] Ein
    Then I guess the Demon Lord
     wasn't such a big deal either.
[12:36] Behemoth
    A lowly human would dare
    insult the Demon Lord?
[12:47] Ein
    You can shoot all you want. It's useless.
[12:49] Behemoth
    Hmph.
[12:50] Behemoth
    You think you can best me, the king of
    the earth, in a field of sand, human?
[13:09] Behemoth
    My skin's as hard as orichalcum,
    and you cut through it?!
[13:15] Ein
    Color me surprised. Your defensive powers...
[13:17] Ein
    are really nothing special after all.
[13:20] Behemoth
    Well then...
[13:26] Ein
    Huh?
[13:27] Ein
    Where did he go?
[13:30] Behemoth(M)
    That's right!
[13:31] Behemoth(M)
    Be nervous!
[13:32] Behemoth(M)
    Be afraid!
[13:33] Behemoth(M)
    Tremble and wail!
[13:36] Behemoth(M)
    No matter how agile you are,
[13:38] Behemoth(M)
    you can't dodge an attack when you
    don't know where it's coming from.
[13:44] Behemoth(M)
    The moment I return to the
    surface, your fate is sealed!
[13:57] Behemoth
    There! I ate you, human!
[13:59] Behemoth
    If you hadn't drawn your blade on me,
    perhaps you'd have lived a little—
[14:09] Behemoth(M)
    Wh-What is this?
[14:11] Behemoth(M)
    What happened?
[14:13] Behemoth(M)
    It hurts...
[14:14] Behemoth(M)
    It hurts!
[14:15] Behemoth(M)
    Never before have I felt such pain!
[14:26] Behemoth(M)
    I was wrong.
[14:28] Behemoth(M)
    Those are not the eyes of the devoured...
[14:31] Behemoth(M)
    but of a devourer.
[14:34] Behemoth(M)
    Oh, I see.
[14:37] Behemoth(M)
    So this is "defeat."
[14:41] Behemoth
    Human...
[14:43] Behemoth
    What did you do?
[14:45] Behemoth
    How was I defeated?
[14:47] Ein
    All I did was cast an ultimate
    spell from inside your body.
[14:51] Ein
    My appraisal revealed that only
    your outer hide can absorb magic.
[14:56] Behemoth
    Then shouldn't you have also
     been caught in the explosion?
[15:01] Ein
    Oh, that?
[15:03] Ein
    I raised a defense barrier before firing.
[15:05] Behemoth
    I see.
[15:07] Ein
    You didn't realize that I cast an illusion
    spell when we first met, did you?
[15:14] Ein
    After you went underground,
[15:16] Ein
    you were merely chasing my mirage
    until I released the spell.
[15:21] Ein
    I may have goaded you
    so you'd let your guard down,
[15:25] Ein
    but a being of your power should've noticed.
[15:28] Ein
    So, in short, the cause of your defeat
    was your hubris toward humankind.
[15:35] Behemoth
    I see...
[15:37] Behemoth
    I'd lost from the moment we met...
[15:41] Behemoth
    Felling this ancient dragon was a
    magnificent accomplishment, human.
[15:47] Behemoth
    No... Ein.
[15:50] Behemoth(M)
    Pain. Suffering.
[15:52] Behemoth(M)
    Fear. Despair.
[15:55] Behemoth(M)
    Disgrace. Insecurity.
[15:57] Behemoth(M)
    Regret...
[15:58] Behemoth(M)
    And then death.
[16:01] Behemoth(M)
    I didn't know what I've been wanting
    for so long would be this terrifying.
[16:08] Behemoth(M)
    Defeat, huh?
[16:10] Behemoth(M)
    It's not so bad...
[16:17] Ursula
    What's wrong, boy?
[16:19] Ein
    I mean, Behemoth was certainly
    a wicked thing to attack humans.
[16:24] Ein
    But if that's how the Demon Lord made him,
[16:28] Ein
    I wonder what he really could've been like...
[16:33] Ein(M)
    What if I had never met Yuri and Ursula?
[16:37] Ursula
    No matter the particulars of
    his birth, he attacked humans.
[16:40] Ursula
    He perished without challenging his ways.
[16:43] Ursula
    One's true nature does not change.
[16:44] Ein
    True nature, huh?
[16:46] Ursula
    Hurry up and appraise his abilities.
[16:49] Ein
    R-Right.

[16:56] Yuri
    Ein, you're incredible!
[16:59] Pina
    You really are strong, man.
[17:02] Kurohime
    Only the hero who sealed Miktoran
     has ever slain an ancient dragon before.
[17:07] Kurohime
    I expected nothing less from you, Einy.
[17:10] Ein
    I'm not the strong one here.
[17:12] Ein
    This was all thanks
     to the strength you've given me.
[17:15] Ein
    Thank you.
[17:27] Claudia
    Excuse me.
[17:29] Claudia
    I trust you are both doing well.
[17:32] Ein
    Yes, we are.
[17:34] Claudia
    I'm so sorry I haven't been
    able to come visit you, my hero.
[17:38] Claudia
    Even though I'm your
     second wife and everything!
[17:41] Ein
    Wait, we're not married.
[17:44] Claudia
    That aside,
[17:45] Claudia
    the reason we invited you here today
    is because my father wants to meet you.
[17:50] Ein
    Your father?
[18:00] Ein
    Y-Y-Y-Your Majesty?!
[18:03] Ein
    I-I'm so very honored to m-m-meet you.
[18:07] Ein
    The name's... Er, no, I mean, my name is Ein.
[18:10] King
    It's fine, it's fine!
[18:11] King
    Just relax, Ein.
[18:16] Claudia
    I'm just going to sit here next to you!
[18:18] Yuri
    A-And I'll take this side!
[18:20] Ein(M)
    S-So close...
[18:22] Ein(M)
    What's going on here?
[18:23] King
    Seeing that my daughter's
    future husband is so popular
[18:27] King
    makes me proud as your father-in-law.
[18:29] Ein
    What are you even on about?!
[18:32] Ein
    Crap!
[18:33] Ein
    I couldn't help saying something!
[18:35] King
    Looks like you're finally over your nerves.
[18:39] Ein
    I-I'm sorry.
[18:41] King
    Thank you for entertaining
    this spontaneous visit.
[18:44] King
    I just really wanted to meet you in person.
[18:47] King
    First of all,
[18:49] King
    I heard from Meegan that you have
    defeated the ancient dragon Behemoth.
[18:53] King
    As king of this land, I would
    like to express my gratitude.
[18:56] King
    'Twas a tremendous task.
[18:58] Ein
    Oh, not at all.
[18:59] Ein
    I was only doing my part.
[19:02] King
    You are truly just as my daughter described.
[19:06] Ein
    Huh? What exactly did she—
[19:07] Claudia
    I told him exactly this, my hero!
[19:09] Claudia
    You're very strong!
[19:11] Claudia
    Handsome!
[19:12] Claudia
    And a wonderful gentleman who, despite your
    amazing power, never acts arrogantly!
[19:17] Claudia
    Indeed!
[19:18] Ein(M)
    Uh, who is this perfect superhuman?
[19:20] King
    Behemoth isn't your only feat.
[19:23] King
    You also rescued my daughter the other day,
[19:25] King
    so allow me to properly
    thank you for that too.
[19:28] King
    You have my gratitude.
[19:30] Ein
    P-Please.
[19:32] Ein
    Raise your head.
[19:34] King
    As a father, it is only natural that I bow
    to the savior who saved my daughter's life.
[19:40] Ein
    Then it's Yuri you ought to thank.
[19:43] Ein
    Without her power, I wouldn't
    have been able to do anything.
[19:47] King
    Is that so?
[19:48] King
    Then thank you very much, Yuri.
[19:52] Ein
    Please excuse her.
[19:54] Ein
    Yuri is very shy.
[19:58] King
    If there's one thing I pride myself on,
     it's being a good judge of character.
[20:03] King
    You have the good, clear eyes of someone
    who does not get drunk on power.
[20:08] King
    I like that about you.
[20:10] Ein
    Thank you.
[20:12] Ein
    I'm proud of my eyes too.
[20:15] King
    You will undoubtedly
    become someone of great standing.
[20:20] King
    I look forward to seeing how you grow.
[20:25] King
    Well, it looks like it's time.
[20:28] King
    I enjoyed talking with you so much
    that I completely lost track of time.
[20:32] King
    Oh, one more thing.
[20:35] King
    This is for you.
[20:37] Ein
    What is it?
[20:38] King
    A watch engraved with the royal crest.
[20:41] King
    With this, you may freely
    go wherever you please.
[20:44] King
    May it be of help to you.
[20:47] Ein
    Y-You're giving something
    so important... to me?
[20:51] Ein(M)
    I can't argue, though.
[20:52] Ein(M)
    With this, I'll be able to inspect things
    previously off-limits to me.
[20:56] Ein(M)
    I'm sure it'll also be handy
    in finding Yuri's family.
[21:01] Ein
    I'd be honored to accept it.
[21:03] King
    Good!
[21:04] King
    See you again, Ein.
[21:07] GuyA
    Did you hear?
[21:08] GuyA
    About how Behemoth was defeated?
[21:10] GuyB
    Who could've defeated that monster?
[21:12] GuyA
    They're saying it was
    Ein the appraiser who did it!
[21:16] GuyB
    Isn't that the same guy who
    cleared a secret dungeon?
[21:22] GuyB
    Tch, watch where you're going.
[21:25] GuyB
    Trash like you should stick
    to the gutters where you belong.
[21:30] Zoid
    Everywhere I go,
     it's always Ein this, Ein that...
[21:33] Zoid
    Shut up already.
[21:36] Zoid(M)
    Not that long ago, I was stronger than him.
[21:41] Zoid(M)
    He should have just stayed cowering
    behind me as my trash picker.
[21:47] Zoid(M)
    If only...
[21:48] Zoid(M)
    he didn't exist...
[21:50] Echidna
    If you'd like, I could be of assistance.
[21:59] Echidna
    My name is Echidna.
[22:02] Echidna
    I am a spirit.
[23:35] Ein
    Next time: "VS. Zoid."
