**[00:00] Sign**
Land of Golden-Eyed Monsters
**[00:01] Seras**
Lis, isn't it hard to handle
all that luggage by yourself?
**[00:06] Lis**
I'll be fine.
**[00:09] Lis**
The less the rest of you have to carry,
**[00:12] Lis**
the greater my chances of survival.
**[00:14] Lis**
So please let me take this.
**[00:17] Eve**
I'd like to respect Lis's wishes.
**[00:20] Touka**
All right.
**[00:21] Touka**
You're a part of our
mercenary band too, after all.
**[00:24] Touka**
If you get tired, don't hesitate to say so.
**[00:27] Lis**
Right!
**[00:29] Touka**
I'm counting on you to watch
our surroundings, Piggymaru.
**[00:35] Touka**
*We're good on food and water.*
**[00:39] Touka**
*Our greatest challenge is...*
**[00:45] Touka**
*Stick to the plan.*
**[00:53] Touka**
*Now come on out!*
**[01:00] Touka**
* It's similar to the reptilian monsters*
* I fought in the Ruins of Disposal.*
**[01:03] Touka**
*The difference is that seaweed-like head...*
**[01:05] Touka**
*Is it a seaweed-headed lizard?*
**[01:15] Touka**
Paralyze!
**[01:19] Touka**
Poison.
**[01:22] Touka**
Good work.
**[01:24] Eve**
Did you achieve what you wanted, Tooka?
**[01:26] Touka**
Yeah, we've cleared the first step.
**[01:29] Touka**
Sleep.
**[01:31] Touka**
* I wasn't sure my skill would work on*
* the creatures in the Land of Monsters,*
**[01:34] Touka**
* but Poison, Paralyze, and Sleep*
* all seem to be effective.*
**[01:42] Touka**
They're inferior.
**[01:43] Eve**
Hmm?
**[01:44] Touka**
They look similar,
**[01:45] Touka**
but compared to the monsters
I faced in the Ruins of Disposal,
**[01:48] Touka**
these guys are far inferior in strength.
**[01:50] Touka**
So it seems the monsters in the so-called
Land of Monsters aren't too tough.
**[01:58] Touka**
If this is all they've got,
**[01:59] Touka**
they're no match for me.
**[02:01] Seras**
Sir Tooka, what are you doing?
**[02:04] Touka**
I think I saw this guy
somewhere in this book.
**[02:11] Seras**
Um, is this it?
**[02:14] Touka**
Yeah, that's him.
**[02:15] Touka**
Apparently this seaweed-esque bit
is an ingredient for a forbidden item.
**[02:19] Seras**
Something like the voice-altering
stone in the Lord of the Flies' mask?
**[02:23] Touka**
That's right.
**[02:26] Touka**
If you're interested, you can take it.
**[02:28] Seras**
Are you sure?
**[02:30] Touka**
I know I don't have to worry with you.
**[02:33] Seras**
Thank you.
**[02:35] Touka**
*Everyone's happy to get special treatment,*
**[02:38] Touka**
*and that wasn't a lie.*
**[02:39] Touka**
* Seras would see right through me*
* if I didn't mind my words carefully.*
**[02:44] Touka**
All right, time to begin our conquest
of the Land of Golden-Eyed Monsters.

Land of the Golden-Eyed Monsters
**[04:30] Touka**
Thanks for the save.
**[04:33] Touka**
You're next, Lis.
**[04:35] Lis**
Coming, Sir Tooka!
**[04:37] Seras**
You can slip on the stones, so be careful.
**[04:40] Lis**
I will.
**[04:41] Eve**
Tooka, shouldn't I just carry her over?
**[04:44] Touka**
She wants to do it herself.
**[04:47] Touka**
So we should respect that, right?
**[04:49] Eve**
Even so, what if she should slip?
**[04:52] Lis**
I-I'll be all right.
**[04:54] Lis**
I know I can't keep relying
on you for everything, Big Sis!
**[05:03] Lis**
Th-Thank you, little Piggymaru.
**[05:07] Eve**
So you had a safety measure
in place from the start?
**[05:10] Touka**
Well, you know...
**[05:11] Touka**
I want to do all I can to support Lis
when she puts her mind to something, too.
**[05:16] Touka**
She was in a situation similar
to what I went through long ago.
**[05:19] Eve**
Tooka, are you saying...?
**[05:22] Touka**
Yeah, I'm really just doing this for myself.
**[05:24] Eve**
Hmm...
**[05:25] Lis**
Wh-What's the matter?
**[05:27] Touka**
It's nothing.
**[05:29] Touka**
Though you should be mindful when
people say something like that.
**[05:33] Touka**
It tends to mean they were talking about
something they didn't want you to hear.
**[05:36] Lis**
Big Sis, is that true...?
**[05:38] Lis**
Um, I know I failed to make it across, but...
**[05:42] Eve**
No. We certainly weren't talking about that.
**[05:46] Eve**
You don't often hear about children
born between elves and humans,
**[05:50] Eve**
much less children born
to high elf and human parents.
**[05:54] Eve**
So we were discussing what
a child born to Tooka and Seras
**[05:58] Eve**
would be like if that happened.
**[06:01] Lis**
Miss Seras?!
**[06:05] Touka**
Are you sure you don't want to dry them out?
**[06:07] Seras**
Yes, I'm sorry about this.
**[06:09] Seras**
I got distracted and let my guard down.
**[06:13] Seras**
How embarrassing of me.
**[06:14] Eve**
So even you get distracted sometimes, hmm?
**[06:18] Touka**
* I can't tell if this leopardman*
* is sharp or dense.*
**[06:24] Touka**
We can't have you catch a cold.
At least wear this.
**[06:26] Seras**
Huh? Oh, no, I'm fine.
**[06:29] Touka**
Go on.
**[06:30] Seras**
Then... I hope you don't mind me borrowing it.
**[06:34] Touka**
I wash it pretty regularly.
**[06:36] Seras**
Oh, please, don't worry about that.
**[06:39] Touka**
You don't mind 'cause it smells like me?
**[06:41] Seras**
Precisely.
**[06:43] Touka**
I see.
**[06:44] Touka**
*I meant that as a joke.*
**[06:47] Seras**
*I meant that as a joke, but...*
**[06:52] Lis**
What's the matter?
**[06:55] Eve**
We're turning back, Lis.
**[06:56] Lis**
Huh?
**[06:57] Eve**
They found us. Tooka!
**[06:58] Seras**
Lis, over here.
**[07:01] Touka**
Monsters you recognize?
**[07:02] Eve**
Yeah.
**[07:03] Eve**
Sorry, I can't beat these.
**[07:06] Touka**
I see.
**[07:10] Touka**
Are these what forced you and Lis
to flee the Land of Monsters?
**[07:15] Eve**
Your orders, Tooka?
**[07:16] Touka**
Stand back this time.
**[07:18] Eve**
Understood.
**[07:20] Touka**
* I don't have time to prepare*
* my combo attack with Piggymaru.*
**[07:41] Touka**
I see. You guys are...
**[07:44] Touka**
* You're opponents not even the greatest*
* bloodsport warrior could defeat!*
**[07:48] Touka**
*Welcome...*
**[07:49] Touka**
*into my range!*
**[07:51] Touka**
Paralyze!
**[07:54] Touka**
I won't give you a real fight.
**[07:57] Touka**
You gleefully made your way here upon
spotting the prey you'd once let get away,
**[08:02] Touka**
not realizing you were the ones
being hunted this time.
**[08:05] Touka**
Berserk.
**[08:07] Touka**
Berserk.
**[08:13] Touka**
Sorry, but I'm finishing you off quick.
**[08:20] Voice**
*You have leveled up.*

**[08:23] Eve**
Now then, Tooka...
**[08:25] Eve**
Before the fight,
**[08:26] Eve**
you sounded as if you knew of
these monsters from somewhere.
**[08:31] Touka**
They're probably nazorts.
**[08:34] Touka**
Just as I thought.
**[08:38] Eve**
Tooka...
**[08:38] Eve**
D-Don't tell me you plan
on eating that thing.
**[08:42] Seras**
Don't get the wrong idea, Eve.
**[08:44] Seras**
It's in *Forbidden Arts: Complete Works*,
which I borrowed.
**[08:47] Seras**
As I recall, it's one of the ingredients
for enhancing slimes like Piggymaru.
**[08:51] Seras**
Isn't it?
**[08:52] Touka**
Yeah.
**[08:53] Eve**
So *that's* what you're up to?
**[08:55] Eve**
Hmm.
**[08:56] Eve**
So Piggymaru will be the one ingesting
that creepy, spongy substance.
**[09:03] Touka**
It's fine.
**[09:05] Touka**
Once the enhancement solution is finished,
it won't look like this.
**[09:10] Touka**
*Probably.*
**[09:12] Lis**
Sir Tooka?
**[09:13] Touka**
What?
**[09:16] Touka**
Eve, can you sense anything?
**[09:18] Eve**
I'm not sure.
**[09:19] Eve**
There was definitely a monster,
**[09:21] Eve**
but it was so brief.
**[09:22] Touka**
Seras?
**[09:23] Seras**
My spirits aren't responding either.
**[09:25] Seras**
But something's there, no doubt.
**[09:27] Seras**
And very close.
**[09:28] Touka**
*There's no malice or hostility.*
**[09:30] Touka**
*Where is it?*
**[09:33] Touka**
What?
**[09:36] Touka**
It's coming from me?
**[09:42] Seras**
Sir Tooka, that's...
**[09:44] Touka**
Yeah.
**[09:46] Touka**
I guess it's about to hatch?
**[10:00] Seras**
A-A horse?
**[10:01] Touka**
Hey, Eve...
**[10:03] Touka**
I feel like it got even bigger after hatching.
**[10:08] Eve**
You noticed that too?
**[10:10] Touka**
Is it a type of monster?
**[10:12] Seras**
I know of several equine monsters, but this...
**[10:16] Touka**
So not even you know it, huh?
**[10:20] Seras**
Sir Tooka!
**[10:21] Touka**
It's all right.
**[10:25] Touka**
It has no hostility toward us.
**[10:27] Lis**
A pony...
**[10:30] Touka**
Hmm? What's this?
**[10:33] Seras**
Pardon me.
**[10:34] Seras**
This? It's an organ for absorbing magic.
**[10:37] Seras**
It's a unique feature often found
in monsters and magical creatures.
**[10:41] Touka**
I see...
**[10:42] Touka**
Could everyone but Piggymaru get back?
**[10:45] Touka**
And Eve, can I ask you to keep
an eye on our surroundings?
**[10:48] Touka**
* This little one might have increased in size*
* from absorbing the magic in the area.*
**[10:54] Touka**
*And in that case...*
**[10:57] Touka**
Does that bother you?

The horse is amazing!
**[11:20] Seras**
I see.
**[11:22] Seras**
So it possesses the ability
to transform by absorbing magic.
**[11:25] Touka**
You consume roughly a thousand MP
for your transformation, huh?
**[11:29] Touka**
This size seems perfect for hauling luggage.
**[11:33] Touka**
Hold on, do you want me to...
**[11:36] Touka**
You want me to pour even
more magic into you?
**[11:40] Touka**
All right. Here I go.
**[11:43] Touka**
* Ninety-five hundred...*
* ninety-six... ninety-seven...*
**[11:47] Touka**
*Ten thousand!*
**[11:58] Touka**
We may have just added an
interesting companion to our group.
**[12:01] Touka**
Maybe it thinks of me as a parent.
**[12:03] Lis**
It's part of our group?
Um, what are we going to name it?
**[12:07] Touka**
Good question...
**[12:08] Touka**
*It's a fantastical horse.*
**[12:10] Touka**
*With eight legs.*
**[12:13] Touka**
Slei...
**[12:15] Touka**
* The horse that Odin once rode,*
* the divine beast Sleipnir.*
**[12:20] Touka**
How about Slei?
**[12:24] Seras**
It appears to approve.
**[12:26] Seras**
We're happy to have you, Slei.
**[12:29] Seras**
Huh?
**[12:30] Seras**
S-Slei?!
**[12:31] Seras**
I-I'd prefer you not do that there...
**[12:34] Eve**
Seems it's taken a liking to you.
**[12:37] Touka**
By the way, can you return
to your original form?
**[12:41] Touka**
I see. That's a relief.
**[12:43] Seras**
Don't just feel relieved! Please stop it!
**[12:50] Suou**
I'm sorry. This is all because we're weak.
**[12:53] Sogou**
No, you're all doing your best.
**[12:56] Ikusaba**
Good, good. Everyone's leveling
up at a nice pace.
**[13:00] Kanae**
All because of you, Asagi.
**[13:02] Ikusaba**
My group *is* talented.
**[13:04] Ikusaba**
We coordinate to snuff out monsters,
**[13:06] Ikusaba**
and in the end, we split the
experience like good friends.
**[13:09] Ikusaba**
Thanks to that, even our
timid little pigeon is leveling up.
**[13:13] Kashima**
Th-Thank you.
**[13:18] Oyamada**
What's got you so on edge, Takuto?
**[13:21] Kirihara**
I don't like this.
**[13:22] Oyamada**
Huh?
**[13:23] Kirihara**
They keep throwing weaklings at us, giving us
nothing but experience to appease us.
**[13:27] Kirihara**
Like lessons for little children.
**[13:29] Kirihara**
They've grossly underestimated me.
**[13:32] Kirihara**
I'll need to teach those top fighters
**[13:37] Kirihara**
just who I am.

Dangerous ones are on the way.
**[13:46] Agito**
This feels likely to be too much
for the heroes to handle right now.
**[13:52] Agito**
Okay, so...
**[13:54] Agito**
Could you heroes stand back a bit?
**[13:57] Agito**
Saber Tigers, can you tighten up
the defense around the heroes?
**[14:01] Kirihara**
Stand back?
**[14:05] Kashima**
Wh-What is that?
**[14:06] Kanae**
Ew, gross! That's creepy!
**[14:14] Nyantan**
I'll handle the one in front.
**[14:16] Nyantan**
These are strong, so I might not have
the leeway to save the kill for the heroes.
**[14:22] Agito**
Then I'll deal with the second
one coming up behind it.
**[14:26] Agito**
Will you join us, Abyss?
**[14:27] Abyss**
Sure.
**[14:39] Kashima**
A-Amazing!
**[14:44] Kirihara**
You're telling me to stand back...
**[14:47] Agito**
Abyss, some of the monsters
have changed course!
**[14:50] Agito**
They're after the heroes behind us!
**[14:52] Abyss**
Leave them to me.
**[14:52] Kirihara**
...against monsters of *that* level?
**[14:57] Kirihara**
Draconic Buster!
**[15:09] Kirihara**
My unique skill is only level four right now.
**[15:13] Kirihara**

That reminds me... Where are
Hijiri-san and Itsuki-san?
**[15:27] Hijiri**
Looks like something's going on over there.
**[15:30] Itsuki**
Might be time for us to head back.
**[15:32] Itsuki**
These guys offed themselves the moment
we discovered them, anyway.
**[15:36] Hijiri**
I suppose that means they were spies
who'd sworn their lives to their master.
**[15:41] Itsuki**
Which country would do this, though?
**[15:43] Hijiri**
Now that's a good question.
**[15:45] Hijiri**
I think they were dispatched to do
something to those of us in 2-C...
**[15:49] Hijiri**
by the Goddess Vicius.
**[15:52] Hijiri**
At least, that's my read on them.
**[15:56] Seras**
I've finished preparing dinner.
**[15:59] Touka**
Okay.
**[16:00] Touka**
Thanks to Slei, we're making much
better time than we expected.
**[16:04] Seras**
Yes, it looks like it's not much
further to the Witch of Taboos.
**[16:08] Seras**
What are you looking at?
**[16:10] Touka**
I saw a strange light in the distance.
**[16:12] Touka**
I thought it might be some
monsters killing each other off.
**[16:16] Seras**
That's to the northeast.
**[16:18] Touka**
The northeast?
**[16:19] Touka**
Oh, I see.
**[16:20] Touka**
The direction of Alion,
where that damn goddess lives.
**[16:27] Seras**
Eve?
**[16:29] Eve**
What is it, Seras?
**[16:31] Seras**
I don't see Sir Tooka anywhere.
**[16:34] Seras**
Or Piggymaru.
**[16:36] Eve**
He's not the kind of man who'd leave us
**[16:39] Eve**
in the middle of the Land of Monsters
without a word.
**[16:43] Eve**
You should already know that well.
**[16:46] Seras**
I do.
**[16:58] Touka**
You're up?
**[16:59] Eve**
Tooka, those monsters...
**[17:01] Touka**
I sensed them nearby
while you were sleeping.
**[17:03] Touka**
So I put them down.
**[17:05] Eve**
That monster... Th-That's
a human-faced beast, isn't it?
**[17:08] Touka**
Yeah.
**[17:09] Touka**
Though, compared to what I'm used to,
it wasn't particularly troublesome.
**[17:15] Touka**
Now I'm searching to see if it
has any ingredients I can use.
**[17:19] Eve**
You took a human-faced beast all by yourself?
**[17:21] Eve**
Am I still dreaming?
**[17:24] Seras**
No, that's just how Sir Tooka is.
**[17:26] Seras**
*Indeed, because we have him,*
**[17:29] Seras**
*we can see a ray of hope in this plan*
**[17:31] Seras**
* to head into the nightmare that is*
* the heart of the Land of Monsters.*
**[17:35] Seras**
* I'm confident you can make the*
* impossible possible, Sir Tooka,*
**[17:39] Seras**
*but please...*
**[17:40] Seras**
*don't shoulder too much all on your own.*
**[17:45] Seras**
Looks like it's impossible
to scale these cliffs, even with Slei.
**[17:49] Eve**
Hmm, that means we'll have
to follow the road along them.
**[17:53] Touka**
I found a path that continues through
the cliffs on the east side.
**[17:57] Touka**
Let's hurry that way.
**[17:58] Seras**
Sir Tooka, you should get some rest as well.
**[18:02] Touka**
The wind's growing humid.
**[18:04] Touka**
I want to get as far as we
can before the rains hit.
**[18:17] Eve**
I don't sense any monsters yet.
**[18:20] Seras**
This lack of monsters...
**[18:22] Seras**
Do you think it's because of our
proximity to the Witch of Taboos?
**[18:27] Touka**
Are you okay?
**[18:28] Lis**
Yes.
**[18:29] Touka**
Is the Land of Monsters scary?
**[18:31] Lis**
I wouldn't say it hasn't been scary...
**[18:34] Lis**
but I'm okay.
**[18:36] Touka**
Don't go saying anything like,
**[18:38] Touka**
"Dying here with Eve is better than
continuing to live in Monroy."
**[18:42] Lis**
That isn't exactly wrong...
**[18:44] Lis**
but I don't believe I'm going to die here.
**[18:47] Lis**
Miss Seras told me that
as long as you live, Sir Tooka,
**[18:53] Lis**
we should reach our destination safely.
**[18:58] Touka**
She believes in me a little *too* much.
**[19:01] Lis**
Still, thanks to her, I've held hope that
we'll be fine so long as we have you with us.
**[19:09] Lis**
We have Slei, too.
**[19:12] Touka**
Both Eve and Lis have complete faith in me.
**[19:20] Touka**
*It's fine.*
**[19:22] Touka**
*I can see this through.*
**[19:24] Touka**
*I have no intention of betraying that faith.*
**[19:38] Touka**
We were able to avoid most of the detours.
**[19:41] Touka**
Once we're through here,
we'll be close to the witch.
**[19:44] Seras**
We managed to make it this far somehow.
**[19:47] Eve**
Indeed.
**[19:48] Eve**
You've done well too, Lis.
**[19:50] Lis**
Yeah.
**[19:51] Eve**
I don't know how I can ever
thank you, Tooka and Seras.
**[19:54] Lis**
Big Sis, you're forgetting Piggymaru and Slei.
**[19:58] Eve**
You're right.
**[20:00] Eve**
I owe you both my heartfelt gratitude too.
**[20:03] Eve**
You've been a great help.
**[20:05] Touka**
Well, we all needed your map too, Eve.
**[20:10] Touka**
I told you, right?
**[20:11] Touka**
I didn't help you out of goodwill alone.
**[20:13] Seras**
So you're saying we're even.
**[20:15] Seras**
You're so kind, Sir Tooka.
**[20:17] Touka**
Yeah.
**[20:18] Eve**
I don't care if our home is small,
**[20:20] Eve**
as long as I can live a quiet life with
Lis in a peaceful land free from war.
**[20:24] Eve**
The moment I thought my days
as a bloodsport warrior were over
**[20:27] Eve**
and that dream was finally in reach,
it was snatched from me.
**[20:32] Eve**
But now I have hope
for that dream once more.
**[20:35] Eve**
I know I talked about us starting a farm
together once this is all over,
**[20:40] Eve**
but maybe that future
isn't so far off anymore.
**[20:43] Lis**
Yeah. That's true, Big Sis.
**[20:48] Seras**
Eve.
**[20:50] Touka**
What? Completely out of nowhere?
**[20:53] Touka**
Eve, wait!
**[20:59] Touka**
That's not a human-faced beast, but...
**[21:01] Eve**
Wh-What's the matter, Tooka?
**[21:03] Touka**
Is that monster still breathing?
**[21:06] Eve**
No, it seems to be dead.
**[21:08] Eve**
It's not moving at all.
**[21:10] Touka**
Paralyze.
**[21:11] Touka**
*Yeah, it's definitely dead.*
**[21:13] Touka**
*Eve made the right call.*
**[21:15] Touka**
*It caught us off guard at such close range.*
**[21:19] Touka**
* That was definitely our best*
* course of action, but...*
**[21:22] Touka**
* What is the intense sense of unease*
* I felt the moment it showed up?*
**[21:28] Touka**
Everyone, get back!
**[21:30] Touka**
Don't tell me...
**[21:40] Eve**
Wh-What was that just now? And this...
**[21:44] Touka**
* A heinous nature like the*
* embodiment of a torture device,*
**[21:47] Touka**
*malice blacker than the deepest inks,*
**[21:51] Touka**
*and a sadism darker than coal tar...*
**[21:54] Touka**
Now I get it.
**[21:58] Touka**
*They're closing in.*
**[22:09] Kashima**
Wh-What?
**[22:16] Touka**
*They're flooding here from all directions.*
**[22:20] Touka**
*But there...*
**[22:25] Touka**
*There are far too many of them!*
**[24:05] Sign**
