Provincial City of Mils
[00:04] FemaleGaurd
I don't see any weapons on you.
[00:06] FemaleGaurd
You a mercenary?
[00:07] FemaleGaurd
Came to make it big by answering the
call to conquer the ruins, huh?
[00:10] Touka
Yes, though I've never been
to such a flourishing town before.
[00:14] Touka
Milza was a good hike for me.
[00:16] FemaleGaurd
It's not Milza. It's Mils.
[00:18] FemaleGaurd
Good grief, this is the problem
with country bumpkins.
[00:21] FemaleGaurd
Hey, we can let him pass, yeah?
[00:24] FemaleGaurd
The marquis wants us to let in as many
mercenaries headed for the ruins as possible.
[00:31] FemaleGaurd
You're good, so move it along.
[00:33] Touka
Thank you very much. I'll do my best.
[00:37] Touka
No patdowns or luggage checks.
[00:40] Touka
They're surprisingly lax.
[00:45] Touka
Things are going smoothly.
[00:49] InnOwner
A private room?
[00:51] InnOwner
We do have them,
but they're 2,000 maca a night.
[00:54] Touka
He's not looking upon me favorably.
[00:57] Touka
Oh, maybe it's because...
[00:58] Touka
I had a long journey, so my clothes
have gotten rather dirty.
[01:02] Touka
I'd appreciate it if you have anything
to wear and know where I could wash up.
[01:06] InnOwner
Yes, yes!
[01:07] InnOwner
Understood!
[01:08] InnOwner
Let me show you right away!
[01:10] Touka
Talk about turning on a dime.
[01:11] InnOwner
By the way, may I ask your name?
[01:14] Touka
It's Hati Skoll.

The Woman Known as the Princess Knight
[02:56] Touka
I don't see anyone acting
suspicious of outsiders.
[03:00] Touka
Seems like a fairly safe city, too.
[03:02] Touka
It has all the typical shops you'd
expect from a Western fantasy town.
[03:08] Touka
I wonder if any of them sell magic items.
[03:10] Touka
Is this... one of those adventurer's guilds?
[03:15] Touka
That'll do for getting a lay of the land.
[03:23] Touka
That's good.
[03:25] Touka
The flavor is pretty rustic,
[03:27] Touka
but I shouldn't underestimate
the food in this world.
[03:31] Touka
Taverns are great.
[03:33] Touka
Spirits run high and voices run loud.
[03:36] Touka
Makes it easy to eavesdrop.
[03:38] Touka
Perfect for gathering information.
[03:39] Guest1
The continent's loaded with monstrous
knights and armies in every nation,
[03:44] Guest1
so who d'ya think is the strongest?
[03:46] Guest2
How about the Brilliant Brigade led by the
beautiful Mad Emperor Falkendotzine?
[03:50] Guest2
They're famously undefeated.
[03:53] Guest3
But the Magnar Kingdom to the north
[03:55] Guest3
has the Order of the White Wolves, right?
[03:57] Guest1
There's also the Holy Order of the Purge
in Yonato Duchy to the west.
[04:00] Guest2
And our very own kingdom of Ulza
has the Order of Monster Slayers.
[04:04] Guest3
Still...
[04:05] Guest2
Yeah, the strongest in the continent
has to be the Black Dragon Knights
[04:09] Guest2
of the Bakoss Empire, who wiped
out the Holy Empire of Neah.
[04:12] Sign
Bakoss Empire's
Black Dragon Knights
[04:13] Guest3
I hear their Five Dragoons alone
rival an entire army.
[04:16] Guest1
They've got Humanity's Strongest
and the Hero Slayer, y'know?
[04:19] Guest1
What man wouldn't get invested in them?
[04:32] Touka
I guess we should decide our future plans.
[04:34] Touka
Our top priority is connecting with someone
who can read the scroll of forbidden magic.
[04:38] Touka
That means finding the Witch of Taboos
[04:40] Touka
hiding in the Land of Golden-Eyed Monsters.
[04:43] Touka
There's also...
[04:45] Touka
the monster enhancement solution.
[04:47] Touka
A way to improve Piggymaru's abilities.
[04:51] Touka
Hold on...
[04:52] (Flashback) Guest1
Mils has been bustling since the marquis
called for conquest of the ruins.
[04:57] (Flashback) Guest3
Discovering a new floor always
breathes life into this place!
[05:04] Touka
"How to create an enhancement solution using
powdered bone from a skeleton king."
[05:09] Touka
And the skeleton king's habitat...
[05:12] Touka
is the Mils Ruins!
[05:13] Touka
They want those dungeon ruins cleared, huh?
[05:17] Hurkley
Everyone, thank you all for gathering here!
[05:20] Hurkley
I am Cred Hurkley.
[05:22] Hurkley
You may know me as
Marquis Hurkley the connoisseur.
[05:26] Hurkley
We've recently uncovered a new floor
here in the Mils Ruins.
[05:30] Hurkley
Now I'd like to task you with exploring it.
[05:33] Hurkley
Whosoever obtains the Dragon Eye
Chalice sleeping within the ruins
[05:38] Hurkley
shall be awarded 300 gold pieces!
[05:41] Mercenaries
Whoa!
[05:42] Hurkley
I'll also pay good money
for any other treasure you bring back.
[05:46] Hurkley
You're free to use any monster
materials you obtain as you wish!
[05:49] Touka
Good. Sounds like I can keep bone powder
from the skeleton king.
[05:53] Soldier
We'll now begin the registration process.
[05:55] Soldier
Those participating, line up over here!
[05:59] Droghetti
You can hide your face, but I can still tell!
[06:02] Droghetti
You're incredibly beautiful.
[06:05] Droghetti
Plus, you're brimming with grace.
[06:08] Droghetti
Surely you must be someone of renown, hmm?
[06:12] Seras
Excuse me?
[06:14] Droghetti
Even your voice is superb, isn't it?
[06:17] Droghetti
It's almost like...
[06:18] Droghetti
you're the paladin captain
of a certain nation!
[06:22] Mercenaries
Seras Ashrain from the Holy Empire of Neah?
[06:24] Mercenary1
That former knight captain
with a bounty on her head?
[06:26] Mercenary2
She's an elven knight captain, right?
[06:28] Touka
A former knight captain?
[06:30] Droghetti
To tell the truth, I've met her once before.
[06:34] Droghetti
She was quite, quite the beauty.
[06:37] Droghetti
But even though I invited her to dinner,
[06:40] Droghetti
she treated me with great disdain!
[06:43] Seras
I don't recall ever meeting you.
[06:47] Droghetti
You took that high-and-mighty
attitude with me back then too,
[06:50] Droghetti
brushing me off
with utter disinterest, didn't you?
[06:53] Droghetti
However...
[06:54] Droghetti
Thanks to that, your face has
been burned into my memory!
[06:58] Droghetti
Along with those lewd, outrageous,
and full, ripe breasts!
[07:02] Seras
Excuse me, but I think you
have the wrong person.
[07:04] Droghetti
In that case, what about your ears?
[07:08] Droghetti
Unlike humans,
elves all have sharply pointed ears!
[07:12] Droghetti
However, there are very few elves
in this area around the kingdom of Ulza.
[07:16] Droghetti
But, but, but...
[07:18] Droghetti
As you all well know,
the former captain from a certain country
[07:21] Droghetti
who's been on the run lately is
a high elf known as the Princess Knight!
[07:25] Droghetti
You might fool idiots, but you can't fool me!
[07:28] Droghetti
Those pointy ears are proof
that you're Seras Ashrain!
[07:33] Droghetti
How do you like that?!
[07:35] Droghetti
The one who revealed the Princess
Knight's true identity was me!
[07:39] Droghetti
The Flash, Monk Droghetti!
[07:42] Droghetti
Huh?
[07:44] Droghetti
What...?
[07:46] Touka
It's that woman from the forest.
[07:47] Droghetti
I-Impossible!
[07:49] Droghetti
A-And your face! Your face is different too!
[07:51] Seras
My name is Mist Balukas.
[07:53] Seras
I'm not Seras Ashrain.
[07:55] Seras
Are you satisfied now?
[07:57] Droghetti
N-No way! This can't be!
[07:59] Mercenary1
He had the wrong person
after all that fuss?
[08:01] Mercenary2
I seriously thought it was the
knight captain for a moment.
[08:04] Droghetti
You won't get away with this!
[08:06] Droghetti
Every last one of you beautiful women is...
[08:10] Droghetti
I won't forget this, Mist Balukas!
[08:14] Touka
Talk about unfounded resentment.
[08:19] Touka
I'll need to do some
shopping before I delve.
[08:32] Seras
Excuse me.
[08:35] Seras
Are you here to answer
the marquis's call as well?
[08:37] Touka
Kind of.
[08:38] Touka
Tough break back there, huh?
[08:40] Seras
It wasn't much of a problem.
[08:43] Touka
Even so, you should probably be careful.
[08:47] Touka
That man who harassed you was
bright red with rage and hatred.
[08:52] Seras
Every now and then,
I wind up crossing people like that.
[08:55] Seras
It's easier once they hate me and stay away
[08:58] Seras
rather than try to get close
for my affections.
[09:01] Touka
I can tell you're intentionally
trying to avoid interacting with others.
[09:05] Touka
That said, I still have a request.
[09:08] Seras
You want advice so you aren't swindled
[09:11] Seras
when buying items to explore the ruins?
[09:14] Touka
I'll pay you for your assistance.
[09:16] Seras
Well, you see... Truth be told,
I am in need of travel funds.
[09:21] Seras
So that's a beneficial proposal
for me as well.
[09:24] Touka
Then we have an agreement?
[09:27] Seras
I'm Mist Balukas.
[09:29] Touka
Hati Skoll.
[09:32] Touka
I see.
[09:33] Touka
This woman is keen to lies.
[09:35] Touka
An alias, obviously.
[09:37] Seras
Huh?
[09:38] Touka
You and I both have our secrets,
[09:40] Touka
so there's no point in sharing
our real names for now.
[09:44] Seras
Agreed.
[09:51] Touka
You've been a big help.
[09:53] Touka
Here's the fee I promised.
[09:55] Seras
This much?
[09:56] Touka
By my math, you saved
me over three silver pieces.
[09:59] Seras
Then I will gratefully take these silvers.
[10:02] Seras
Though this is much more than I expected,
so I'm honestly hesitant to accept it.
[10:08] Seras
Thank you very much.
[10:09] Seras
Now then, I'll be on my way.
[10:13] Touka
She's so light.
[10:16] Touka
You okay?
[10:18] Touka
You have bags under your eyes.
[10:20] Seras
I-Indeed. I haven't slept well
for several days.
[10:24] Seras
I-I'm fine, though.
[10:27] Seras
Sorry to worry you.
[10:35] Touka
Hmm? What next?
[10:37] Touka
Naturally, we start conquering
the ruins of Mils.

It's a little ox demon!
[11:02] Mecenary2
Run!
[11:04] Touka
Like a miniature version of
the minotaurs from the Ruins of Disposal?
[11:07] Touka
Paralyze.
[11:09] Touka
Poison.
[11:11] Touka
My Paralyze and Poison both worked.
[11:13] Touka
Seems the monsters from the Ruins of Disposal
had exceptionally tough hides after all.
[11:18] Mercenary1
O-Over there!
[11:19] Mercenary1
That's where we saw the
little ox demon! Please!
[11:22] StrongMercenary
Sure, leave it to me.
[11:24] Mercenary1
I-It's dead...
[11:26] StrongMercenary
Looks like another mercenary defeated it.
[11:29] Mercenary2
Wait, this thing isn't even injured!
[11:31] Mercenary1
No, hold on. If you look closely...
[11:34] Mercenary1
This is a dagger wound, right?
[11:36] Mercenary2
Huh?! They killed it in
one blow with a dagger?!
[11:39] Touka
It wasn't a single hit from a dagger, no.
[11:43] Touka
Right now, I'm not feeling any
threat from the monsters here.
[11:48] Touka
Stats: Open.
[11:51] Touka
Not getting much experience either.
[11:54] Touka
Guess I'll move on at a brisk pace.
[11:56] Droghetti
I know you two are strong,
so I have a request for you.
[12:00] Droghetti
I want you to make that woman
[12:03] Droghetti
who humiliated me in the plaza
regret ever being born.
[12:06] BaldGuy
Any specifics? You want her killed?
[12:08] Droghetti
Yes, kill her!
[12:10] Droghetti
Though if she begs for her life
[12:11] Droghetti
and you decide she's truly sorry
for what she did to me,
[12:15] Droghetti
then don't kill her quickly.
[12:17] BaldGuy
You sure are pissed at her, huh?
[12:20] Droghetti
She seriously ticked me off!
[12:22] Droghetti
That woman made a fool of me,
[12:24] Droghetti
and the thought of her still breathing
and going on without a care...
[12:27] Droghetti
It makes my gut seethe!
Makes me want to claw out my chest!
[12:32] Droghetti
Until I see that smug face
twisted in despair as she dies,
[12:36] Droghetti
I'll never sleep in peace!
[12:38] Droghetti
Once you kill her, I'll feed her to them!
[12:40] Droghetti
I'll feed that pretty face
and body to the monsters!
[12:44] BeardMan
W-We don't care if that's how you
want to dispose of her,
[12:48] BeardMan
but at least let us have our fun first, okay?
[12:51] BaldGuy
I could tell she had an amazing body,
even through her garb.
[12:55] Droghetti
Of course!
[12:56] Droghetti
Use her until she's in tatters.
[12:58] Droghetti
She dismissed me twice.
[12:59] Droghetti
Me! Of all people!
[13:01] Droghetti
That woman is monster feed!
[13:02] Droghetti
Monster feed, monster feed, monster feed!
[13:06] BaldGuy
Who the hell're you?!
[13:07] BaldGuy
You eavesdroppin' on us?
[13:08] Touka
You're an irredeemable lot.
[13:10] Droghetti
What?!
[13:11] Droghetti
Who do you think you're talking to, brat?!
[13:14] Droghetti
I'll kill you!
[13:15] Touka
You snap way too much.
[13:17] BeardMan
Some green brat trying
to act like a damn saint?
[13:20] BeardMan
Let's just kill him quick. He's in the way!
[13:23] BaldGuy
It's pretty common for folks
to die in ruins, y'know?
[13:27] Touka
Hold on a moment.
[13:28] Droghetti
Huh? What's this?
[13:29] Touka
I'm sorry. Please spare me.
[13:33] Droghetti
Begging for your life the instant you
realize you're outmatched?
[13:37] Droghetti
Too bad you can't take it back once—
[13:40] Touka
Paralyze.
[13:41] BaldGuy
Wh-What?!
[13:42] BeardMan
I can't move!
[13:43] Droghetti
How...?
[13:45] Droghetti
What did you do?!
[13:47] Touka
Who knows?
[13:48] Touka
More importantly, who were you gonna kill?
[13:50] Touka
Too bad.
[13:51] Touka
My own villainy makes me want to puke.
[13:54] Touka
Probably because it reminds me of them*.
[13:57] Touka
Poison.
[13:59] Droghetti
What?!
[14:02] Touka
Exterminating guys like you
[14:04] Touka
feels strangely satisfying.
[14:06] Touka
It's surprisingly nice.
[14:08] Droghetti
I won't forget this! I'll make you regret it!
[14:15] Touka
Are you stupid?
[14:16] Touka
That's exactly why I'm stomping
you out here and now.
[14:27] Touka
Seems you're the ones becoming monster feed.
[14:35] Touka
I guess I'll hit the new floor
if I go one more down.
[14:37] Touka
I'd like to take a break
before setting foot into it.
[14:41] Touka
It is what it is. I'll backtrack a bit.
[14:50] Touka
About three hours of sleep, huh?
[14:54] Touka
Thanks for keeping a lookout.
[15:04] Touka
What's the matter?
[15:06] Sign
The Saber Tigers
[15:06] Fosse
There's something unprecedented
happening in these ruins right now.
[15:09] Fosse
Monsters are dying
in strange ways in random places.
[15:12] Touka
They are?
[15:12] Fosse
Yeah.

Fosse
Saber Tiger Vice Captain
[15:13] Fosse
The funny thing is we can't
figure out what's killing them.
[15:17] Fosse
We just know their skin turns deathly pale.
[15:20] Lily
Both strong and weak monsters alike
are falling in this strange manner.

Lily Adamantine
Saber Tigers Captain
[15:23] Lily
Even the monsters on floor 14,
which we were the first to reach.
[15:27] Lily
As the leader of the Saber Tigers,
I value my comrades above all else.
[15:31] Lily
It's regrettable, but we're pulling out now.
[15:35] Lily
Do you want to return
to the surface with us?
[15:37] Touka
No, though I'm grateful for the offer.
[15:39] Fosse
I see.
[15:41] Fosse
Well, if you see any of the other mercs,
do us a favor and pass along the news.
[15:46] Touka
I will.
[15:51] Touka
Now then, I should get moving.
[15:54] Touka
Yeah, that's right.
[15:56] Touka
They probably mean the corpses
of monsters I killed with my skill.
[16:00] Touka
If word of the unusual situation spreads,
it'll mean fewer mercenaries.
[16:03] Touka
This might be a lucky break for me.
[16:16] Touka
Is that the Dragon Eye Chalice?
[16:22] Touka
I'll bet this thing moves.
[16:27] Touka
Anyone familiar with fiction
from modern Japan could anticipate that.
[16:33] Touka
Paralyze.
[16:36] Touka
Poison.
[16:42] Touka
Piggymaru, can I ask you to keep watch?
[16:46] Touka
So, this thing is the prized item*
of this event?
[16:51] Touka
Sure is pretty.
[16:57] Touka
Now, what should we do?
[17:02] Touka
It's you?
[17:03] Sign
Mist Balukas
Wandering Warrior
[17:03] Seras
I thought I would be the first one here
with the other mercenaries pulling out.
[17:08] Seras
I guess I lost my chance taking a rest
[17:11] Seras
after some trouble with a pack of monsters.
[17:13] Touka
If you need this, I'll let you have it.
[17:15] Seras
Huh? What did you just say?
[17:18] Touka
If you want it, it's yours.
[17:20] Seras
Wh-What do you want in return?
[17:22] Seras
Three hundred gold is...
[17:24] Touka
There's nothing I really want.
[17:26] Seras
I-I cannot besmirch my honor like that.
[17:28] Touka
You're in a hurry, right?
[17:30] Touka
Though you should be getting proper sleep.
[17:33] Touka
You look like you could
collapse at any moment.
[17:36] Touka
Later.
[17:37] Seras
Please wait.
[17:39] Seras
I simply cannot take this and offer nothing.
[17:41] Touka
Hati Skoll is just a sickeningly sweet guy.
[17:45] Touka
He's also kind to boot.
[17:47] Touka
Especially to beautiful women.
[17:48] Seras
Y-You're lying!
[17:50] Touka
That's an awful accusation.
[17:52] Seras
I'm sorry. It's just...
[17:54] Touka
My objective isn't that treasure.
[17:57] Touka
It's a monster lurking below.
[17:59] Seras
I thought only the floors leading up
to this chalice had been discovered...
[18:03] Touka
There's a monster that has
something I need right now.
[18:06] Touka
It just so happened that the call to conquer
the ruins coincided with my time here.
[18:10] Seras
If that's why you're here,
this does make more sense, but...
[18:13] Seras
No, in that case, Sir Hati,
[18:15] Seras
would you please allow me
to at least guard you?
[18:19] Touka
What?
[18:20] Seras
All I can really offer right now
is my skill with this sword.
[18:24] Seras
I swear to you that I won't be a hindrance.
[18:27] Seras
Will you accept?
[18:30] Seras
M-My apologies.
[18:32] Seras
However, I cannot just accept
the Dragon Eye Chalice for free.
[18:34] Touka
No sign of her relenting.
[18:37] Touka
She must feel strongly
about repaying her debts.
[18:39] Touka
So what should I do?
[18:42] Touka
Can I add a few conditions?
[18:44] Seras
Yes.
[18:46] Touka
As a rule of thumb, we avoid questions prying
into each other's circumstances.
[18:50] Touka
We're just a bodyguard and client.
[18:53] Seras
Understood.
[18:55] Touka
Also, I won't necessarily return
to the surface within the day.
[18:59] Touka
So if you want to return on your own,
I won't be responsible for you.
[19:04] Touka
If that's okay, it's nice working with you.
[19:06] Seras
Thank you very much.
[19:07] Seras
I shall protect you, Sir Hati,
even if it costs me my life.
[19:25] Touka
That was splendid work.
[19:27] Seras
Thank you.
[19:31] Seras
What is it?
[19:32] Touka
Well, I wanted to ask you about something.
[19:35] Touka
About monsters with golden
eyes and those without.
[19:37] Seras
Oh, of course.
[19:39] Seras
Monsters with golden eyes are said
to hold a great deal of "experience,"
[19:42] Seras
and they're recognized as the perfect prey
for heroes from another world to "level up."
[19:47] Seras
Are you familiar with the concept
of otherworld heroes?
[19:50] Touka
I am.
[19:51] Seras
Apparently they gain no experience
from killing other people.
[19:55] Seras
I hear experience points
are a feature unique to monsters.
[19:59] Touka
Explains why I got nothing from those guys.
[20:03] Touka
And how are monsters
without golden eyes regarded?
[20:06] Seras
They're regular monsters.
[20:08] Seras
Some are capable of forming
positive relationships with humans.
[20:11] Touka
I see.
[20:12] Seras
According to legend, the demon king,
who is the root of all evil,
[20:15] Seras
radiates a special energy
known as demon king essence.
[20:18] Seras
Monsters strongly influenced
by it turn golden-eyed.
[20:21] Seras
It unleashes the instinct for violence
that all monsters harbor.
[20:26] Touka
Golden-eyed monsters...
[20:27] Touka
Gold...
[20:28] Touka
A golden hero...
[20:29] Touka
That golden hue is a sign.
[20:32] Touka
That's a little ominous.
[20:42] Seras
I sense the presence of a monster.
[20:44] Touka
A monster?
[20:44] Seras
It's not strong, so I paid it no mind,
but I keep sensing it.
[20:49] Seras
It's very close by.
[20:52] Touka
Piggymaru.
[20:54] Touka
This is Piggymaru.
[20:55] Touka
Long story short, we're partners.
[20:57] Touka
I hope you two will get along.
[20:59] Touka
Go ahead.
[21:00] Seras
Are you sure it's safe?
[21:06] Seras
I'm Mist Balukas.
[21:09] Seras
It's a pleasure to meet you,
[21:10] Seras
Sir Piggymaru.
[21:14] Seras
It's a very cute slime.
[21:17] Seras
It's oddly comforting.
[21:19] Touka
Let's take a break here.
[21:20] Touka
You can get some light sleep.
[21:22] Touka
I'll wake you when it's time to leave.
[21:24] Seras
No, I'm fine.
[21:26] Touka
Would you at least lie down for a while?
[21:28] Touka
It won't do me any good if you
collapse partway through.
[21:32] Seras
Very well.
[21:33] Seras
I'll at least lie down, then.
[21:40] Touka
Piggymaru.
[21:43] Seras
Sir Piggymaru?
[21:45] Touka
Sleep.
[21:49] Touka
There, now she should be
able to get some rest.
[22:00] Touka
I'd guessed as much.
[22:03] Touka
But you really are the former
knight captain of Holy Neah...
[22:06] Touka
Seras Ashrain, huh?
[22:11] Orban
Looks like their corpses were eaten by
monsters, but I guess this means it's true.
[22:16] Orban
Four Holy Watchers were killed here
in the blink of an eye
[22:19] Orban
without any real sign of battle.
[22:22] Schweitz
Who could do this to such skilled men?
[22:25] Civit
Seras Ashrain, with her Spirit Regalia.
[22:29] Sign
Civit Gartland
Humanity's Strongest
[22:30] Civit
Will you provide me with some excitement?
[24:05] Sign
The Chain Known as Trust
