[00:00] Sign     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. [01:21] Sign     Failure Frame [01:21] Sign     I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells [02:47] Sign     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. [10:39] Sign     Failure Frame [10:39] Sign     m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100 [10:39] Sign     I Became the Strongest and     Annihilated Everything with Low-Level Spells [10:43] Sign     Mils Ruins [11:00] Mercenary     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. [15:13] Sign     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. [15:20] Sign     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
