[00:07] Seras
    When did I fall asleep?
[00:09] Seras
    The pact shouldn't have expired yet.
[00:17] Seras
    Sir Piggymaru?
[00:18] Seras
    What's the matter?
[00:21] Touka
    What's up, Piggymaru?
[00:23] Seras
    Oh, did I wake you?
[00:27] Touka
    Nah, don't worry about it.
[00:31] Touka
    The resident of this room might be out.
[00:35] Touka
    Did you hear that just now?
[00:37] Seras
    Yes.
[00:39] Touka
    Get back!
[00:40] Seras
    Right!
[00:49] Seras
    A skeleton king!
[00:51] Touka
    This thing?
[00:53] Touka
    It's leagues above the other monsters here.
[00:56] Seras
    Sir Hati!
[00:57] Seras
    We should be able to slay it
[00:58] Seras
    if we shatter that silver part below its chin!
[01:01] Touka
    That's its weak spot, huh?
[01:03] Seras
    This monster is too much
    for your average soldier to handle.
[01:06] Seras
    It's so strong that even the Saber Tigers
[01:09] Seras
    might just barely be able to take it.
[01:14] Touka
    Looks like it considers Mist
    the real threat here.
[01:19] Touka
    Now, how shall we attack?
[01:21] Seras
    Sir Hati, I have a request.
[01:24] Seras
    I'm about to use a certain power
[01:27] Seras
    to improve my base physical abilities
    and create unique armaments.
[01:31] Seras
    I'd like to keep this power
    a secret as long as I can,
[01:34] Seras
    so could you please keep what
    you're about to witness between us?
[01:40] Touka
    Yeah, this thing's definitely strong.
[01:42] Seras
    Also, my apologies in advance.
[01:44] Seras
    Should this monster exceed my expectations,
[01:47] Seras
    I might not be able to protect you.
[01:49] Seras
    So if it comes down to it, please run—
[01:52] Touka
    Paralyze!
[01:56] Seras
    Huh?
[01:57] Touka
    Rather, it's only strong compared
    to the rest of these ruins.
[02:00] Touka
    Poison!

[03:47] Touka
    Good.
[03:48] Touka
    Looks like this was the right thing.
[03:50] Seras
    You mean that skeleton king was the monster
    you were searching for, Sir Hati?
[03:55] Touka
    Yeah.
[03:59] Touka
    Once we return to the surface,
[04:00] Touka
    I'll answer any questions I can.
[04:03] Seras
    Did my face give me away?
[04:07] Touka
    What's up, Piggymaru?
[04:11] Touka
    There's something over there?
[04:26] Touka
    What's this?
[04:31] Touka
    Some kind of magic cloth or something?
[04:34] Touka
    An egg?
[04:36] Touka
    What is it, Piggymaru?
[04:38] Touka
    You're interested in the egg?
[04:40] Touka
    You want to take it home with us?
[04:43] Touka
    All right.
[04:44] Touka
    If that's what you want,
     I'll see what I can do.
[04:47] Touka
    Well, shall we head back to the surface now?
[04:51] MaleStudent
    It's skeleton knights!
[04:53] Students
    Run!
[05:00] Sakura
    This isn't happening! It can't be!
[05:02] Kashima
    Sakura-san, hang in there!
[05:02] Sakura
    I lost my hand!
[05:04] Kashima
    Th-The goddess might heal it for you!
[05:10] Sugou
    Can I do it with this weapon?
[05:11] Sugou
    No, I must!
[05:13] Sugou
    I have to buy time for
    everyone to escape and—
[05:15] Oyamada
    Hands off, Ayaka!

[05:33] Kirihara
    There's no denying they're strong foes.
[05:36] Kirihara
    However, I was simply stronger.
[05:37] Sign
    I was simply stronger
[05:38] Sign
    I was simply stronger
[05:40] Kirihara
    With that, I've reached level 24.
[05:47] Leader1
    I-Is this the Dragon Eye Chalice?!
[05:50] Leader2
    Is it actually the real thing?!
[05:57] Touka
    At any rate, this concludes
    my business in the Mils Ruins.
[06:01] Seras
    Sir Hati!
[06:05] Touka
    I was watching from afar,
[06:06] Touka
    but that was quite a commotion.
[06:09] Seras
    There's going to be a reception tomorrow
    where I receive my reward.
[06:13] Seras
    I'll find an inn for another night.
[06:15] Touka
    Then I assume you're free
    until the reception tomorrow?
[06:18] Seras
    Yes.
[06:19] Touka
    If possible, I'd like to speak to you alone.
[06:22] Touka
    Would either of our rooms work for you?
[06:24] Seras
    I don't mind that.
[06:26] Touka
    Then how about mine at eight o'clock?
[06:29] Seras
    You make decisions swiftly, don't you?
[06:32] Seras
    I'll be there.
[06:35] Seras
    Once again, thank you very much
    for the Dragon Eye Chalice.
[06:39] Touka
    Nothing you need to thank me for.
[06:51] Touka
    So we have a monster enhancement
    solution now, do we?
[06:54] Touka
    We'll be using this on you later.
[06:58] Seras
    Sir Hati, it's me, Mist.
[07:01] Touka
    She's here right at the agreed time.
[07:05] Seras
    You want to employ me as your bodyguard?
[07:08] Touka
    Yeah, I thought you might be
    interested in earning a bit more.
[07:12] Touka
    Though maybe you're set on travel funds now
[07:14] Touka
    with the reward for the Dragon Eye Chalice.
[07:17] Touka
    Indirectly reminding her about that...
[07:21] Touka
    Even I feel like this is playing dirty.
[07:25] Touka
    You've probably guessed as much,
[07:27] Touka
    but my goal is finding the Witch of Taboos.
[07:30] Touka
    My destination is the Land
     of Golden-Eyed Monsters.
[07:33] Seras
    The Land of Golden-Eyed Monsters...
[07:35] Touka
    I'm expecting plenty
    of swarming monster attacks.
[07:38] Touka
    I'd feel better having a skilled
    swordsman watching my back,
[07:43] Touka
    just like when we were
    conquering the Mils Ruins.
[07:45] Touka
    I've been considering hiring a warrior
    all along to ensure my safety,
[07:50] Touka
    and you're a perfect fit.
[07:52] Seras
    I'm on a journey to the Duchy of Yonato.
[07:56] Seras
    If we head there via the
    Land of Golden-Eyed Monsters,
[07:58] Seras
    that'd be quite convenient for me.
[08:00] Seras
    However...
[08:02] Touka
    I'm a little hesitant to agree,
[08:03] Touka
    but I have to accept it's necessary
    to meet her needs.
[08:07] Touka
    No reason to rush the decision.
[08:09] Touka
    It sounds like there are other routes
     if you're headed to Yonato.
[08:12] Touka
    By the way, can I ask something, Seras?
[08:13] Seras
    Yes. What is it?
[08:16] Seras
    Oh!
[08:17] Seras
    E-Er, Sir Hati, um, why did you just...
[08:20] Touka
    Sorry for catching you off guard.
[08:23] Seras
    So you knew?
[08:25] Touka
    Remember falling asleep in the Mils Ruins?
[08:27] Touka
    That was the work of my skill.
[08:29] Seras
    It was, was it?
[08:32] Touka
    You were hesitating earlier
    about revealing yourself to me, weren't you?
[08:36] Touka
    Traveling together while trying
    to hide your identity would be an issue.
[08:41] Touka
    Because you can't exactly sleep that way.
[08:43] Touka
    Am I wrong?
[08:44] Seras
    Y-You're not.
[08:46] Touka
    I need your combat prowess.
[08:48] Touka
    I've no intent to sell you out.
[08:50] Seras
    I use the power of spirits
    to conceal my identity.
[08:54] Seras
    It requires that I offer up
     my desire for sleep in exchange.
[08:58] Touka
    Which is why you revert back
    to normal when you sleep.
[09:01] Seras
    Yes.
[09:02] Seras
    I was being chased by those Holy Watchers
[09:05] Seras
    because they caught me unawares
     and saw my true form.
[09:08] Seras
    I have a lot more flexibility in my travels
    with those four gone.
[09:13] Seras
    I truly am grateful to you.
[09:16] Touka
    If you're dismissing your spell around me,
[09:18] Touka
    I assume that means you trust me?
[09:21] Seras
    Yes, I do, Sir Hati.
[09:24] Seras
    I believe you are a man worthy of trust.
[09:27] Touka
    Trust, huh?
[09:30] Touka
    It's Touka.
[09:31] Seras
    Huh?
[09:33] Touka
    My real name is Touka Mimori.
[09:35] Touka
    Please don't share that with anyone else.
[09:38] Touka
    In return, I won't reveal your name
    to anyone without your consent either.
[09:42] Touka
    This is another way to further
    bind her to me using trust.
[09:46] Seras
    Hati... No, Sir Tooka.
[09:49] Seras
    Let me introduce myself again.
    I am Seras Ashrain.
[09:51] Sign
    Seras Ashrain
    Elf, Former Captain of Neah's Knights
[09:52] Seras
    I will serve as your bodyguard
[09:53] Seras
    and accompany you to the
    Land of Golden-Eyed Monsters.
[09:56] Touka
    Yeah, I'll be counting on you.
[09:58] Seras
    Yes.
[10:00] Touka
    Here's your payment.
[10:07] Seras
    Terribly sorry.
[10:09] Touka
    Everything all right?
[10:10] Seras
    Um, I was just surprised...
[10:13] Touka
    By what?
[10:14] Seras
    Sir Tooka, I don't think this could be
    anything other than a blue dragon gem.
[10:19] Touka
    Blue dragon gem?
[10:22] Touka
    Is it something valuable?
[10:25] Seras
    It's said that these gems are only rarely born
[10:28] Seras
    within legendary blue-eyed dragons.
[10:32] Seras
    There's nary a one circulating
    on the market right now.
[10:35] Seras
    Its value...
[10:36] Seras
    easily surpasses the reward
    for the Dragon Eye Chalice.
[10:40] Touka
    Then it should be satisfactory payment.
[10:43] Seras
    You can't, Sir Tooka!
[10:45] Touka
    Huh?
[10:45] Seras
    You shouldn't give something
    like this away so readily.
[10:49] Touka
    Too nice for her own good too, huh?
[10:58] Touka
    I said it was yours.
[11:00] Touka
    Toss it out if you want.
[11:01] Seras
    Huh? Wait, but...
[11:04] Touka
    It's sufficient payment
    for guarding me, right?
[11:07] Seras
    Th-That's true, but...
[11:10] Seras
    Very well.
[11:11] Touka
    For the time being, please call me
    Hati in front of other people.
[11:14] Touka
    I'll call you Mist when we're outside too.
[11:16] Seras
    Understood.
[11:17] Seras
    It might be a little late at this point...
[11:21] Seras
    But as you know, I'm on the run.
[11:24] Seras
    There's a great deal about me
    that I haven't told you yet.
[11:28] Touka
    I'm not trying to dig into your past.
[11:32] Touka
    As your employer, I just want you
    to be in top form as my guard.
[11:37] Touka
    I have no intention to pry past that.
[11:40] Seras
    You're always considerate
    in that fashion, Sir Tooka.
[11:45] Touka
    Yeah, well, I'm a nice guy.
[11:55] Seras
    Perhaps I should have cleansed myself
    before meeting with Sir Tooka earlier.
[12:05] Seras
    Tooka Mimori...
[12:08] Touka
    I'm not trying to dig into your past.
[12:16] Seras
    I want to believe him,
[12:17] Seras
    like I did the princess.
[12:25] Guest1
    Hey, check it out!
[12:26] Guest1
    Looks like some mercenary's
    already won her over.
[12:30] Guest2
    I heard she was spotted
    leaving his room last night.
[12:34] Touka
    Let them say what they will.
[12:35] Guest1
    So she discovered a taste for men
    alongside the Dragon Eye Chalice, eh?
[12:36] Seras
    You're quite mature about that, Sir Hati.
[12:39] Touka
    By the way, have you ever
    heard of forbidden magic?
[12:42] Seras
    Yes, I have.
[12:44] Touka
    First unimportant discovery:
[12:46] Touka
    Seras apparently has a tendency
    to touch her chest while talking.
[12:50] Seras
    Said magic is forbidden according
     to Goddess Vicius.
[12:54] Seras
    It's generally understood
    to be specific ancient spells.
[12:58] Touka
    In other words,
[13:00] Touka
    these spells are now forbidden
    because the goddess said so.
[13:03] Seras
    Indeed, we can assume they are
    forbidden by her decree.
[13:07] Touka
    Magic the goddess outlawed...
[13:09] Touka
    That's bound to mean it's
    spells that are dangerous to her.
[13:13] Seras
    My apologies. That's about all I know.
[13:17] Touka
    No, that's plenty.
[13:19] Touka
    Thank you.
[13:20] Seras
    I-If I managed to be of help, I'm glad.
[13:23] Touka
    Need you be so deferential
    over a simple thanks?
[13:27] Seras
    I think it's the first time you've
    given me a frank thank you.
[13:32] Seras
    I was feeling a bit bashful.
[13:37] Seras
    They said it would be a morning reception.
[13:39] Seras
    I should be back by one
    in the afternoon at the latest.
[13:42] Touka
    Then I'll be outside the inn
    a little after noon.
[13:45] Seras
    Very well.
[13:46] Seras
    I shall see you then, Sir Hati.
[13:59] Touka
    All right, let's start the enhancement
    experiment, Piggymaru.
[14:16] Hurkley
    Thank you all for gathering here today!
[14:18] Hurkley
    I have invited a mage specialized
    in breaking illusions
[14:21] Hurkley
    so that we can ensure the authenticity
    of the Dragon Eye Chalice,
[14:24] Hurkley
    recently recovered by Mist Balukas.
[14:28] Hurkley
    Now, let's have a look!

[15:01] Vicius
    Yes, I'll take care of her.
[15:03] Vicius
    I'll put her back together with Heal.
[15:05] Sogou
    I see. You have my thanks.
[15:07] Vicius
    I can't use it on just anyone, though.
[15:10] Vicius
    This is only because Miss Sakura is B-class.
[15:14] Vicius
    By the way, Miss Sogou,
[15:15] Vicius
    will you not be joining
    Mister Kirihara's group?
[15:25] Sogou
    I can't imagine I'd get along very
    well with Kirihara-kun as things stand.
[15:29] Vicius
    That's what I mean.
[15:31] Sogou
    Huh?
[15:31] Sogou
    I'm saying your selfishness is
    disrupting the harmony of Class 2-C.
[15:37] Sogou
    At least from what I've seen.
[15:39] Sogou
    M-My selfishness?
[15:41] Vicius
    Oh, dearie me. Am I wrong?
[15:44] Vicius
    Is there some rational explanation?
     Are you okay?
[15:47] Sogou
    I-It's not like that! I just...
[15:49] Vicius
    No, no, it's fine.
[15:51] Vicius
    This is all the result
    of insufficient guidance.
[15:56] Vicius
    The blame is entirely on me.
[15:59] Vicius
    Miss Sogou?
[16:01] Sogou
    I'm sorry.
[16:03] Sogou
    Even if it is selfish,
[16:04] Sogou
    I can't team up with Kirihara-kun
     as he is now.
[16:07] Vicius
    Even if that means turning your back
    on a world seeking salvation?
[16:12] Sogou
    I'm fulfilling my duty as an
    S-Class hero in my own way!
[16:16] Vicius
    Very well!
[16:18] Vicius
    Then I'll entrust the students who couldn't
    pass their trials to you, Miss Sogou.
[16:22] Sogou
    Huh?
[16:23] Vicius
    If an S-Class like you trains them,
[16:25] Vicius
    I'm sure they'll become
    as strong as a hundred men.
[16:27] Sogou
    Hold on just a minute!
[16:29] Sogou
    We already settled this matter when
    I agreed to fight in their stead, right?!
[16:34] Vicius
    To be honest, we received
    a royal decree a few days ago
[16:38] Vicius
    calling for the disposal
    of all heroes who can't fight.
[16:42] Vicius
    I'm sorry, but I'm powerless to change it.
[16:46] Sogou
    If I refuse, you'll get rid
    of them, won't you?
[16:49] Vicius
    That's what I'll be forced to do. I'm sorry.
[16:53] Sogou
    I understand.
[16:55] Vicius
    Excellent! Take good care of them.
[16:57] Vicius
    I'll share the details with you later.
[16:59] Sogou
    Excuse me.
[17:01] Vicius
    Oh, and just in case...
[17:04] Vicius
    Know that if they become a hindrance,
[17:06] Vicius
    you may be forced to reckon
    with a cruel reality.
[17:10] Vicius
    But I'm sure you'll be fine.
[17:11] Vicius
    Humans always grow stronger
    when they face reality.
[17:14] Sogou
    I thank you for your concern.
[17:27] Vicius
    That damn bitch.
[17:31] Touka
    Either I misjudged her,
[17:33] Touka
    or something has happened to Seras.
[17:36] Touka
    What's your wager?
[17:39] Touka
    If you think she ditched us
     without a word, squeal twice.
[17:43] Touka
    If you think otherwise, squeal once.
[17:46] Touka
    Sounds like we're both leaning
     toward a generous read this time.
[17:50] Touka
    Not much of a bet that way.
[17:53] Touka
    Seras hardly has a motive to disappear on us.
[17:56] Touka
    If she didn't want to go with us,
[17:57] Touka
    she could've just turned down
    the gig to start with.
[18:01] Touka
    And if she meant to deceive us,
[18:01] Mercenary1
    Hey, did you hear?
[18:02] Touka
    she wasted way too much effort.
[18:02] Mercenary1
    The woman who found that Dragon Eye Chalice
    was the fugitive Princess Knight!
[18:06] Mercenary2
    Yeah, I heard.
[18:08] Mercenary2
    Apparently she fled into the Dark Forest.
[18:10] Mercenary1
    Let's go! It's paladin hunting time!
[18:12] Mercenary2
    I wouldn't do that!
[18:13] Mercenary1
    Huh? Why would you say that?
[18:15] Mercenary2
    You don't want to get involved.

    I can't transform until it recovers.

    Seras Ashrain!
[19:21] Seras
    If their average knight is this skilled,
[19:24] Seras
    what are the troops above them like?
[19:31] Seras
    No.
[19:32] Seras
    The dragon behind me is a decoy!
[19:34] Seras
    My real enemy...
[19:35] Seras
    is in front of me!
[19:37] Gizun
    Well done seeing through that!
[19:39] Gizun
    My name is Gizun!
[19:41] Gizun
    I'm vice captain of the squad led
    by Sir Orban of the Five Dragoons!
[19:47] Gizun
    You die here, Seras Ashrain!
[19:50] Seras
    I can't use my Spirit Regalia right now.
[19:52] Seras
    I'll have to manage with my available spirits.
[19:58] Seras
    I thought they would try and take me captive.
[20:00] Seras
    Has their stance finally
    changed to eliminating me?
[20:04] Gizun
    If you want to know, fine.
[20:05] Gizun
    Shall I tell you before you die?
[20:08] Gizun
    Orban's squad is under secret orders.
[20:13] Gizun
    You may have features as enticing as honey
[20:16] Gizun
    and a body that stokes the instincts of men...
[20:21] Gizun
    but even so, there are still people
    in this world who'd see you dead!
[20:26] Seras
    I knew it. I'll need my
    Spirit Regalia for this foe.
[20:33] Seras
    Oh no!
[20:41] Seras
    If you're going to kill me,
    then make it quick.
[20:44] Gizun
    We were told to kill you without
    doing anything to you,
[20:47] Gizun
    but rejoice, Princess Knight of a lost nation.
[20:49] Gizun
    If you haven't known a man yet,
[20:51] Gizun
    then I'll show you what it means
    to be with one before you die!
[20:56] Seras
    If only I could use my Spirit Regalia!
[20:59] Touka
    Paralyze.
[21:01] Gizun
    Now, time to have some f—
[21:07] Touka
    Hey.
[21:08] Touka
    It's long past the time we agreed to meet.
[21:14] Touka
    Poison!

[21:22] Seras
    Too—
[21:24] Seras
    What are you doing here?
[21:27] Touka
    I came looking for you, of course.
[21:30] Seras
    That's not what I'm asking about.
[21:32] Touka
    Hold on.
[21:33] Seras
    Huh?
[21:34] Touka
    Sleep.
[21:37] Touka
    We may have things to talk about that
    we don't want anyone overhearing.
[21:42] Seras
    I-I'm sorry I didn't consider that.
[21:44] Seras
    However, if you remain with me, then...
[21:47] Touka
    I'll be pursued by the
    Black Dragon Knights too?
[21:50] Seras
    Th-That's right!
[21:52] Seras
    I'll return the payment you gave me.
[21:54] Seras
    So let's nullify our bodyguard agreement.
[21:56] Touka
    To be honest, it would be a pain.
[21:59] Seras
    I-Indeed. Staying with me
    will only cause you trouble.
[22:03] Touka
    That's not what I meant.
[22:06] Seras
    U-Um, what is this?
[22:09] Touka
    Open it and see.
[22:12] Seras
    A-Are these all blue dragon gems?!
[22:15] Touka
    Well, yeah.
[22:16] Seras
    You really are...
[22:19] Touka
    I meant it'd be a pain to find a better guard.
[22:23] Touka
    Now, Seras...
[22:25] Touka
    Take off your clothes.
[22:29] Seras
    Huh?
